Sany to Build $200m Factory in Cikarang

China-based coal mining equipment maker Sany signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Indonesia on Saturday tp invest up to $200 million to build a production base for its heavy machineries in Cikarang, Bekasi.

“Sany is convinced that we're able to sell our products to Asian countries,” said the president director of Sany, Liang Wengen.

“Our market share in the Asian market is still very small, at less than 5 percent. So [through] the investment in Indonesia, we hope we can increase our market share in Asian countries.”


Wengen said the initial injection would be $15 million, with the total investment at $200 million.

“This is going to the biggest investment that Sany has made.”

Sany's plan is part of the Chinese government's pledge to support development in Indonesia and improve the trade balance between the two countries.

Wengen said the factory would play an important role in boosting revenue to 350 billion RMB ($54 billion) in 2015, up from 90 billion RMB target for this year.

"We're not just going to manufacture here, but we will also transfer our technology to Indonesia," he said.

The factory will be located on 10 hectare in Cikarang industrial zone. It will have an annual capacity to manufacture 1,000 units of heavy equipment and is expected to absorb 1,500 workers. Construction is expected to star in July, with operations expected to open in 2012

"We have a passion for Indonesia. Its huge population and low labor cost are also what draw us here. We're optimistic that our operation here will break even in no time," Wengen said.

Sany group started operations in 1989 and currently has factories in the United States, Germany, India and Brazil. The corporation employs more than 53,000 people in more than 120 countries. It's sales last year reached 50 billion RMB.

Agus Cahyana, the secretary general of the Industrial Ministry, said that the government welcomed the new investment would facilitate it by helping the company find the location and providing market data.

TIPS For A Greener Kitchen

TIPS for a Greener Kitchen

Royal Wedding...Princess Beatrice, Victoria Beckham, Pippa Middleton & Chelsey Davy steal show! Fashion victims?

 

Royal Newleyweds totally in love & facing wedded bliss!

Porky & Bess arrive to trot down the aisle at Westminster Abbey!

The Royal Wedding aside - sigh! - there certainly was a lot of juicy fashion fodder to feast upon.

I daresay!

As handsome Prince William (looking particulary manly in his Irish Guard Uniform highlighted with a dash of brilliant red and Royal Blue) and childhood sweetheart Kate Middleton (every bit a blushing "Royal Highness" in a stunning chic wedding frock fashioned by Sarah Burton the Numero Uno designer extraordinaire) prepared for their grand debut on the world stage before a billion-or-two prying eyes, a posse of upstarts in the Royal Court - a Duchess here, a Princess there - primped and preened for the paparazzi down at Westminister Abbey in a sly deceitful effort to steal a bit of Kate's thunder.

Before you could utter up - "Hedda Hopper" - a gaggle of frightful sorry-looking-swans fluttered into the frenzied fray.

And, in two-seconds-flat, a bevy of fashion disasters were to the English Manor born!

What do they say?

Birds of a feather flock together!

When it came to color - the plummage was dead on - and featured vibrant hues such as teal, coral, cobalt, and pink.

Joyous, in that regard.

The tricky jolting shapes and odd-ball flourishes at times reminded me of the old "I Love Lucy" episode, though, when Ricky and Fred pulled a prank on Lucy and Ethel by leading them to believe that outfits they were gifted with were designed by a top french designer - when, in fact - they were whipped up overnight from cast-offs in the trash bin.

Flying Saucers, eye-popping Polka dots, and reams of idle fabric were too much for the fragile frames that lurked underneath never to be seen again.

Consequently, ugly-duckling gowns - stuffy, over-the-top, too tight, overly-puffy, and out-of-proportion - paraded down the aisle just begging for some prankster to utter up nasty farting sounds from some dank dark corner of the Abbey (appropriate fashion commentary in this instant case).

The misguided hands of well-meaning fashion designers (clever cows milking the throne) - fumbled from the get-go - 'til the final curtain when the trussed up trollops came across as dumb show.

Among the first to be pounced on by the Fashion Police (at the Wedding of the Century) was none other than the pretty sultry sexy on-again-off-again love of randy Prince Harry.

Eghads!

Chelsy Davy sashayed into the spotlight in an aqua green Alberta Ferretti skirt and off-the-shoulder jacket with a bow at the back (which I predicted she would in a post a day-or-so ago) - but, who knew she'd blow a shoe-in - by letting the flab show.

Just maybe, she was not fashion savvy enough to fathom, that overly-tight busting-at-the-seams frocks don't cut it in chic fashion circles.

I was delighted when Ms. Davy made her grand entrance, because I'm always in a panic to find worthy candiates to poke fun at for my annual 10 Worst-Dressed-Women's list.

To refresh your memory, here are the winners (losers?) who made the grade last year.

Post: 12/31/2010


http://ijulian.blogspot.com/2010/12/julian-ayrs-3rd-annual-worst-dressed.html

Ms. Davy, just roared up to the top of the list, unless an encore can convince me otherwise!

Peter Phillip's wife ran a close second by virtue of a coat-dress (by designer Sassi Holford) which appeared to be rustled up from tacky left-over upholstery fabric from some bargain-basement sale.

And, a flop of a hat, that matched up.

The verdict is still out on Victoria Beckham - who dressed more along the lines of the "Black Swan" - than the normally-chic fashion image she is often inclined to pull off more effectively.

The solemn look added to the mournful image!

Princess Eugenie wore a blue Vivienne Westwood which was too pouffy (stuffy, too).

When she dressed for the tony event, she clearly threw caution (and taste) to the wind.

Beatrice, her doting sis, sprang for a see-thru Valentino couture coat that didn't jive well with an over-the-top outrageous hat.

"Thank God, they hid their knees," one friend of the Royals whispered to all within earshot.

Knock-knees are not in style this year, but maybe next!

When the two trotted towards the Abbey, the odd twosome reminded me of Porky & Bess.

There is one at every chi-chi event.

Some brazen broad anxious to show her girls!

Sally Bercow filled that bill to a "t" cup.

Jessica Craig - who slipped into a nude skirt suit, tan tights, and sensible shoes - underscored why no proposal was forthcoming from Wills.

Meanwile, a hatless Samantha Cameron chose to ignore fashion Wedding protocol, by neglecting (willfully?) to splurge on a spring bonnet.

April 29th was hailed as a great day for fashion, for one very good reason.

Kate elected to don a dress by Sarah Burton (Alexander McQueen's House) which - in a nutshell - knocked all the other gal's panty hose out of the Abbey.

The buzz, honestly?

The petite Princess Letizia of Spain wisely (and tastefully) tossed on a pale pink bandage-strip dress by Felipe Varela and teamed it with matching shoes and a charming cloche hat.

The epitome of style!

But, others in her chic league, were few-and-far between.

Lady Sophie Windsor was a stunnng tony guest who cut a fine swath in a cocktail dress and coat by Giorgio Armani Prive (with exaggerated shoulders and graphic hat).

Princess Michael of Kent turned Royal heads in a Sophia Loren-style picture hat, Andrea Odicini teal skirt suit, and Vanessa Noel matching shoes.

Pippa Middleton knocked everyone out when she graced the red carpet with a cowl-necked gown in ivory satin crepe by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.

Carole Middleton wisely selected a pale blue Catherine Walker wool crepe coat-dress over a matching silk dress.

Fashion kudos!

A Jane Corbett hat, though a tad dramatic, was very flattering none-the-less.

The Queen was all sweetness-and-light in a sunny yellow gown and dress coat by Angela Kelly.

Except for the snub aimed at Camilla Parker Bowles which caused a few tongues to wag (more juicy gossip on that tidbit later).

Camilla, by the way, turned out in lovely hand-embroidered Anna Valentine champagne silk dress and duck egg blue coat.

I predicted she would in a post a day-or-two ago.

The Countess of Wessex was relaxed and radiant-looking in a fitted biscuit suit by British designer Bruce Oldfield and did not go un-noticed in the searing glare of the spotlight.

By the by, when David Beckham first alighted from his gleaming ride, his OBE was affixed to the wrong jacket lapel.

Some kind fellow (or hottie with a sweet tooth for the soccer stud) must have tipped the sports hero off.

Unfortunately, for the fashion losers, cynical gawkers were - ready, able, and at-the-ready - to toss tomatoes at those who committed all the typical fashion faux pas.

Spoil sports!

Off with their heads

Sperma Ternyata Obat Anti Depresi Untuk Wanita

Depresi adalah kondisi mental yang tertekan yang bisa mengganggu kinerja dan menurunkan kualitas hidup. Berbagai cara telah dilakukan untuk mengatasi depresi. Sebuah studi menemukan air mani pria juga bisa dijadikan obat anti depresi.

'Air mani membuat Wanita bahagia'. Itulah kesimpulan yang luar biasa dari sebuah penelitian yang membandingkan suasana hati wanita yang menggunakan kondom saat berhubungan seks dengan yang tidak.

"Saya ingin menjelaskan bahwa kami tidak menganjurkan orang menjauhkan diri dari penggunaan kondom," ujar Gordon Gallup, psikolog di University of New York, yang memimpin penelitian, seperti dilansir dari Newscientist.

Menurutnya, jelas kehamilan yang tidak diinginkan atau penyakit menular seksual akan lebih besar dampaknya dari pada mengimbangi efek psikologis yang menguntungkan dari air mani.

Dalam penelitian ini, timnya membagi 293 wanita dalam beberapa kategori seberapa sering pasangan mereka memakai kondom, dan tingkat kebahagiaan dinilai dengan menggunakan alat Beck Depression Inventory. Orang-orang dengan skor rendah adalah yang paling bahagia dan skor lebih dari 17 dianggap cukup tertekan.

Hasilnya, wanita dengan pasangan yang tidak pernah menggunakan kondom mencetak angka rata-rata 8, wanita dengan pasangan yang kadang-kadang menggunakan kondom mencetak angka 10,5, yang selau menggunakan kondom 11,5 dan wanita yang tidak pernah berhubungan seks mencetak angka 13,5.

Dan menurut hasil penelitian yang telah diterbitkan dalam jurnal Archives of Sexual Behavior ini, gejala depresi dan usaha bunuh diri lebih sering terjadi pada wanita yang menggunakan kondom secara teratur dibandingkan dengan yang tidak.

Hasil penelitian yang akan menimbulkan kontroversi ini menunjukkan bahwa wanita yang secara langsung terkena air mani akan lebih jarang merasa tertekan atau depresi. Peneliti berpikir hal ini dikarenakan adanya perubahan suasana hati wanita akibat hormon dalam air mani yang diserap melalui vagina.

Hal ini tidak terlalu mengejutkan, karena air mani mengandung beberapa hormon yang mengubah suasana hati, seperti testosteron, estrogen, hormon perangsang folikel, hormon luteinizing, prolaktin dan beberapa prostaglandin yang berbeda. Beberapa telah terdeteksi dalam darah wanita sejam setelah terkena air mani.

Banyak orang juga menanyakan apakah seks oral memiliki efek meningkatkan suasana hati yang sama. Menurut Gallup, hal itu bisa saja berlaku pada seks oral, setidaknya beberapa bahan kimia dalam air mani bertindak sama seperti steroid dalam pil KB yang mampu bertahan dari proses pencernaan.

Tapi diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menentukan apakah terkena air mani melalui oral seks atau anal akan sama pengaruhnya terhadap suasana hati pada pasangan heteroseksual dan homoseksual.

Maryland Officials Worry About Bay Bridge Safety

WASHINGTON - It's almost the time of the year when thousands of Washingtonians start crossing the Chesapeake Bay bridge every weekend to spend some time on Maryland's Eastern shore, but two Maryland lawmakers say they're concerned about the bridge's safety.
 
Speaking on WTOP's Politics Program with Mark Plotkin, both Maryland House Minority Leader Anthony O'Donnell and Democratic Del. Joseline Pena-Melnyk expressed concerns about the bridge's safety.
 
"It is unsafe, and we know that already," says Pena-Melnyk.
 
The Maryland Transportation Authority, which runs the bridge, has made some safety upgrades following deadly crashes, but O'Donnell says it's also about the traffic.
 
"The capacity of that bridge is failing," says O'Donnell.

Sejarah Pembuatan Dan Perkembangan Film Porno

Film porno adalah film yang dikategorikan mengandung unsur yang mengeksploitasi hubungan seksual dan aurat manusia. Film porno bisa jadi adalah sesuatu yang tabu untuk diperbincangkan terutama di dunia timur

Sebuah adegan pembuatan film porno

Permulaan fim-film porno

Menurut buku Patrick Robertson (Film Facts), "film porno yang paling awal, yang dapat diketahui tanggal pembuatannya adalah A L'Ecu d'Or ou la bonne auberge", yang dibuat di Prancis pada tahun 1908. Jalan ceritanya menggambarkan seorang tentara yang kelelahan yang menjalin hubungan dengan seorang perempuan pelayan di sebuah penginapan. El Satario dari Argentina mungkin malah lebih tua lagi. Film ini kemungkinan dibuat antara 1907 dan 1912. Robertson mencatat bahwa "film-film porno tertua yang masih ada tersimpan dalam Kinsey Collection di Amerika. Sebuah film menunjukkan bagaimana konvensi-konvensi porno mula-mula ditetapkan. Film Jerman Am Abend (sekitar 1910) adalah, demikian tulis Robertson, "sebuah film pendek sepuluh menit yang dimulai dengan seorang perempuan yang memuaskan dirinya sendiri di kamarnya dan kemudian beralih dengan menampilkan dirinya sedang berhubungan seks dengan seorang laki-laki, melakukan fellatio dan penetrasi anal." (Robertson, hlm. 66)

Banyak film porno seperti itu yang dibuat dalam dasawarsa-dasawarsa berikutnya, namun karena sifat pembuatannya dan distribusinya yang biasanya sembunyi-sembunyi, keterangan dari film-film seperti itu seringkali sulit diperoleh. Mona (juga dikenal sebagai Mona the Virgin Nymph), sebuah film 59-menit 1970 umumnya diakui sebagai film porno pertama yang eksplisit dan mempunyai plot, yang diedarkan di bioskop-bioskop di AS. Film ini dibintangi oleh Bill Osco dan Howard Ziehm, yang kemudian membuat film porno berat (atau ringan, tergantung versi yang diedarkan), dengan anggaran yang relatif tinggi, yaitu film Flesh Gordon.

Film tahun 1971, The Boys in the Sand dapat disebutkan sebagai yang "pertama" dalam sejumlah hal yang menyangkut pornografi. Film ini umumnya dianggap sebagai film pertama yang menggambarkan adegan porno homoseksual. Film ini juga merupakan film porno pertama yang mencantumkan nama-nama pemain dan krunya di layar (meskipun umumnya menggunakan nama samaran). Ini juga film porno pertama yang membuat parodi terhadap judul film biasa (judul film ini The Boys in the Band). Dan ini adalah film porno kelas X pertama yang dibuat tinjauannya oleh New York Times.

Deep Throat adalah sebuah film porno dari Amerika Serikat yang diterbitkan pada 1972, ditulis dan disutradarai oleh Gerard Damiano dan dibintangi Linda Lovelace (nama samaran Linda Susan Boreman). Singkat Cerita Deep Throat dimulai ketika seorang wanita yang merasa frustasi secara seksual (Linda Lovelace) meminta saran pada temannya Helen (Dolly Sharp); setelah sebuah pesta seks tidak menolong, Helen menganjurkan Linda untuk pergi ke seorang dokter (Harry Reems). Dokter ini berkata bahwa klitoris Linda berada di tenggorokannya. Di berbagai tempat di AS, film ini dituduh menyebarkan pornografi. Aktor Harry Reems dinyatakan bersalah dalam menyebarkan materi tidak senonoh ke luar batas negara bagian.

Sejak permulaan sejarah film, banyak orang telah tampil dalam berbagai film porno di Eropa dan Asia. Film-film porno awal dari tahun 1900-an ini biasanya diputar dengan tangan, dan para pemerannya biasanya tidak ingin dikenal karena tekanan sosial. Bintang porno pertama dari AS yang memiliki nama panggung adalah Linda Lovelace, terkenal karena filmnya dari tahun 1972 Deep Throat. Film ini menghasilkan ratusan juta dolar di seluruh dunia, dan memulai industri film porno dengan aktris-aktris seperti Marilyn Chambers (Behind the Green Door), Gloria Leonard (The Opening of Misty Beethoven), Georgina Spelvin (The Devil in Miss Jones), dan Bambi Woods (Debbie Does Dallas).

Perkembangan film porno

Pertengahan sampai akhir tahun 1980-an disebut "The Golden Age of Porn", ketika banyak aktor dan aktris porno seperti John Holmes, Ginger Lynn Allen, Traci Lords, Veronica Hart, Nina Hartley, Seka, dan Amber Lynn mulai terkenal. Dengan mulainya zaman DVD di akhir 1990-an, muncul nama-nama seperti Jenna Jameson, Juli Ashton, Ashlyn Gere, Asia Carrera, Tera Patrick, Briana Banks, Stacy Valentine, Jill Kelly, dan Silvia Saint.

Popularitas aksi film porno

Anal ke oral atau lebih populer di dalam dunia pornografi dengan istilah ass to mouth adalah tindakan mencabut penis atau benda lain dari anus dan memasukkannya ke mulut. Juga dikenal dengan singkatan A2M, ATM, atau Arse-to-Mouth. Penis biasanya tidak dibersihkan dulu sebelum dimasukkan ke mulut. Ass to mouth menjadi terkenal pada sekitar tahun 2003 dan 2004 oleh Max Hardcore dalam seri filmnya "Cherry Poppers", dan dilakukan oleh Taylor Hayes, Alisha Klass, dan Samantha Stylle dalam film-film Seymore Butts.

Diedarkannya film berjudul "Ass to Mouth" oleh Heatwave/Horizon pada 2000 mulai membuat hal ini terkenal dalam dunia pornografi. Heatwave/Horizon kemudian juga mengedarkan seri "A.T.M. Girls" di tahun yang sama. Pada tahun 2003 dan 2004 A2M mencapai puncak ketenaran dengan beberapa seri seperti "A2M" (2003, Anabolic) dan "ATM Machine" (2003, Digital Sin). Python juga mengeluarkan film lain berjudul "Ass to Mouth" pada 2003, dibintangi bintang film porno amatir Pat Mixdorf. Menjelang 2005, ketenaran A2M mulai memudar dengan Heatwave/Horizon menghentikan seri "Ass to Mouth" pada 2005 setelah "Ass to Mouth #15." Walaupun sudah tidak setenar dahulu, A2M masih sering dijumpai di berbagai film porno.

Artis-artis film porno

Di antara bintang film porno terkenal, beberapa telah melakukannya dalam film, seperti Annabel Chong, Luci Thai, Jade Marcela, Flower Tucci, Olivia O'Lovely, Serenity, Brianna Banks, Devon, Tiffany Mynx, Jessica Darlin, dan Maria Ozawa.

School Official Resigns Amid Sun Investigation Into His College Degrees

TROOPERS INVESTIGATING DEATH OF TANEYTOWN MAN

(TANEYTOWN, MD) – Maryland State Police are investigating the death of a Taneytown man who was found dead in his townhome late yesterday afternoon when a concerned neighbor checked on him.

The man is identified as Carey M. Landskroner, 44, of the 400-block of Red Tulip Court, Taneytown, Md. He was pronounced dead at the scene. He is believed to have lived alone in the townhome.

Just before 5:00 p.m. yesterday, Maryland State Police at the Westminster Barrack received a 911 call from a neighbor of Landskroner who said he had gone to check on the man after not seeing him for a couple of days. The neighbor reported he saw an open window covered by a blind. He moved the blind aside and saw Landskroner lying on the floor.

Maryland state troopers and Taneytown Police Department officers responded to the scene. Upon entering the home, police found the victim deceased and observed that he had sustained trauma to his left arm, leg and side.

Troopers also observed evidence that indicated some type of explosion may have occurred in the home. There were holes in the wall and the chair near Landskroner had what appeared to be charring on it.

After seeing this, troopers requested technicians from the Office of the State Fire Marshal respond to check the townhome for explosives. Out of precaution, troopers evacuated residents from about 25 homes in the area until the search could be conducted.

Office of the State Fire Marshal explosive experts searched the home and found no explosives or explosive devices, although they believe some type of explosion may have occurred in the home. Residents were permitted to return to their homes about 11:00 p.m. yesterday.

Maryland State Police crime scene technicians are continuing to process the scene for evidence as of midnight tonight. Criminal investigators from the Westminster Barrack, as well as deputy state fire marshals remain on the scene and are continuing the investigation.

A cause of death for Landskroner has not been determined at this time. His body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for an autopsy.

Three Convicted In Terror-Related Cases Later Granted U.S. Citizenship By Obama Administration

Three people convicted of crimes as a result of a terrorism-related investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) were later naturalized as U.S. citizens by the Obama administration, according to federal auditors.

The March 2011 audit (released on April 21, 2011) by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), entitled Criminal Alien Statistics: Information on Incarcerations, Arrests and Costs, shows that three individuals were among “defendants where the investigation involved an identified link to international terrorism but they were charged with violating other statutes [not directly related to terrorism], including fraud, immigration, drugs, false statements, and general conspiracy charges,” referred by DOJ as Category II terrorism-related cases.

The three individuals in question can be found in a DOJ list of unsealed terrorism-related investigations conducted from Sept. 11, 2001 through Mar. 18, 2010. There are 403 defendants on that list of which, according to the GAO, at least 43 percent were aliens--both legal (26 percent) and illegal (17 percent)--at the time they were charged with crimes.

“Prosecuting terror-related targets using Category II offenses and others is often an effective method--and sometimes the only available method--of deterring and disrupting potential terrorist planning and support activities,” explained the DOJ in the document that listed the defendants.

Staff members of GAO's Homeland Security and Justice team who worked on the audit told CNSNews.com in an e-mail that the three individuals were naturalized as U.S. citizens under President Barack Obama.

“One of the individuals was naturalized in late 2009.  The other two were naturalized in 2010,” says the e-mail from the GAO.

Israel Braces For 'Large-Scale' Unrest In West Bank

Israel is preparing for widespread Palestinian unrest.

Officials said the ruling Fatah movement was expected to foment unrest throughout the West Bank and particularly in the Jerusalem area. They said Fatah wanted to organize riots and attacks on Israelis in wake of the movement's initial agreement with Hamas.

"We're looking at the most severe scenario," Israeli police chief Inspector-General David Cohen said.

 In a briefing on April 28, Cohen, who commands a force of 27,000, said authorities expected the Palestinian violence to intensify within days. He said police and security forces were intensifying deployment and intelligence to respond to unrest.

"We are preparing for the whole of the month of May," Cohen said. "We are conducting a repeat inspection of all of the headquarters. The scenario includes large-scale disruptions of order."

Officials said Palestinian unrest was expected to escalate through an expected United Nations vote on Palestinian statehood in September 2011. They said Israel's military and security forces have agreed to increase coordination to help quell riots and attacks.

GOP Bill Would Require Birth Certificate From Presidential Candidates

A GOP lawmaker will introduce legislation in the coming weeks to require any candidate running for president to file a copy of his or her birth certificate with the Federal Election Commission.

“It’s the right thing to do and it’s long overdue,” Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.), the bill’s sponsor, wrote in an email to The Hill.

Posey insisted the legislation is not directed at President Obama, who has battled charges that he was not born in the U.S. and is ineligible to serve as president since before he entered the Oval Office.

“This legislation has never been about one candidate,” Posey wrote. “It’s been about addressing something that’s come up at least seven times before. With its passage, this won’t be a distraction for anyone in the future.”

Posey previously introduced the legislation in 2009, when Democrats held the House, but it could have a better chance of moving forward now that Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) is Speaker.

PLC Member Puts The Lie To Abbas' Vow To Talk

Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) member and Fatah party member Fuad Kokali put the lie to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' claims he will negotiate with Israel Thursday.

 In an interview with the pro-'Palestinian' Alternative Information Center, Kokali said "it is a must to have this reconciliation because we need the world to recognize a... Palestinian state and without Gaza ... this weakens our position."

"And now they are building a new policy to stop the Palestinian state in September," Kokali said about opposition to unilateral PA efforts outside the Oslo framework that circumvent peace negotiations with Israel,  to gain a declaration of statehood by the United Nations in September.

"And they justify their actions [saying] that still the region is not ready, the Palestinians are not ready. So they took the position of Israel. And so that means we have to negotiate another 20 years. And I think this will be refused by the Palestinians," Kokali said.

Kokali also admitted Hamas had not agreed to pursue peace with Israel - one of the Quartet's key conditions for the admission of Hamas to the Palestinian Authority if it wishes to retain legitimacy.

"For Hamas there is no other choice so they will go for this [unity]," Kokali said. "But, if we are talking about principles, for example what will be the position with Hamas toward the peace process, or Fatah, this we will continue to negotiate later."

"We will continue to negotiate with Hamas about the peace process, about the peace with Israel, about the resistance, and what kind of resistance we need if peace fails .. this needs more negotiation," Kokali said.

Kokali's admission that Hamas only agreed to unity because it had no choice, and that Hamas' position vis-a-vis Fatah remained ambigous, underscores not only the tenuous nature of the agreement, but also the tenuous permanence any PA-Israel agreement would have.

It also buttresses concerns the inclusion of Hamas in the PA may lead to a Hamas takeover of PA areas in Judea and Samaria.

Saudi Arabia 'Not Comfortable' With Oil Prices

Saudi Arabia has expressed concern over the high price of crude oil.

A senior Saudi energy official said high oil prices could harm the global economy. He said the market contained sufficient supplies of crude oil and that Saudi Arabia did not need to sustain output.

"We are not comfortable with oil prices where they are today," Saudi Aramco Chief Executive Khalid Al Falih said. "I am concerned about the impact it could have on the global economy."
In an address to an oil conference in South Korea on April 27, Al Falih said Saudi crude oil production capacity was stabilizing the market amid the halt in Libyan supplies. He said two-thirds of Saudi exports went to Asia, particularly China.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns about legislation that was being considered by the Maryland General Assembly.

Senate Bill 839, entitled Counties - Kennel Licenses - Requirements for Breeders, passed the Senate and the House and has been sent to the Governor for his approval. The legislation requires a person to obtain a kennel license if the person owns or has custody of 15 or more unsprayed female dogs over six months old that are kept for the purpose of breeding the dogs and selling their offspring and the person sells dogs from six or more litters in a year.

For each kennel license issued in a county, the bill requires the county to collect and maintain a record of the name and address of the licensee, the number of dogs maintained, and the number of puppies sold in the preceding year. By January 15 of each year, counties must report the information collected for the preceding year to the Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation. The bill also authorizes a county to establish additional kennel license fees to cover the cost of collecting and maintaining the information and submitting the reports. A county may establish more stringent kennel licensing requirements.

This is a link to the bill's history: http://mlis.state.md.us/2011rs/sb0839.htm Scroll down to Documents and you can access the bill, the fiscal note and vote tallies. I did vote for the bill when it reached me on the House floor.

Again, thanks for writing.

Subject: Support SB 839/HB 940: Determine the scope of the puppy mill problem in MD


Mar 14, 2011

Delegate Norman Conway
Lowe House Office Building, Room 121
6 Bladen Street
Annapolis, MD 21401-1912

Dear Delegate Conway,

As your constituent, I urge you to support S.B. 839/H.B. 940 to require
large-scale commercial dog breeding facilities to be licensed by the
counties -- and to require the counties to report that information
annually to the state. Most counties already license breeding kennels,
so this legislation should not be a significant burden for them.

While most states have statewide licensing and inspection systems in
place for commercial dog breeding facilities, Maryland does not; it is
impossible to know how big of a problem puppy mills are in the state.
This legislation, sponsored by Sen. Lisa Gladden and Del. Tom Hucker,
is a critical first step

Puppy mills are large-scale commercial dog breeding operations that
mass-produce puppies for sale in pet stores and over the Internet. A
recent house fire in Calvert County on a property that reportedly
housed more than 100 animals indicates that such facilities exist in
Maryland. Unfortunately, it's hard to know the scope of the situation
since there is no statewide tracking of this information. Maryland has
been very lax in protecting helpless animals & it is time this
changes!

The reporting requirement of this legislation is critical in
determining how much of a problem puppy mills are in Maryland. With
this information, we can begin to consider the best way to address the
situation.

Please vote YES on S.B. 839/H.B. 940 when it comes before you for your
consideration. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Edna Walls

GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY HOSTS DISCUSSION ON TRANSPORTATION TRUST FUND IN MARYLAND

Brings together Blue Ribbon Commission on Maryland Transportation Funding, business leaders, elected officials and stakeholders to discuss the future of transportation funding in Maryland

COLUMBIA, MD (April 29, 2011)– Governor Martin O’Malley today hosted a roundtable discussion on the Transportation Trust Fund in Maryland, the latest in his series of “Maryland Forward” policy forums. Today’s discussion was held at the Wilde Lake Community Center in Columbia, Maryland. Following the presentation of the Interim Report of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Maryland Transportation Funding, Governor O’Malley facilitated an open dialogue with more than 100 participants on how to strategically rebuild the state’s infrastructure and protect the Transportation Trust Fund.  

“We are all here today because we understand that we are in a fight for our children’s future. The states that win will be those states that succeed in creating jobs and expanding opportunity by innovating, educating, rebuilding, and protecting their quality of life,” said Governor O’Malley. “There is an inextricable connection between infrastructure and jobs – it all depends on building and restoring a 21st century infrastructure so we can compete and win in the new economy.”

The Governor kicked off the panel discussion with Howard County Executive Ken Ulman and other members of the Blue Ribbon Commission, local business leaders and elected officials.  

“I’m pleased that Governor O’Malley has decided to come to Howard County to begin a much-needed discussion on transportation solutions,” said Howard County Executive Ken Ulman. “I’ve often said that Howard is where Maryland comes together, and that means we see first-hand how highways, transit and other modes of transportation work, and what the state’s needs are.”

The Transportation Trust Fund was created in 1971 as a dedicated fund to support transportation funding in the State. The Fund supports all activities of the Maryland Department of Transportation, including debt service expenses, modal agency operations, and capital projects. Revenues deposited into the Trust Fund are not earmarked for specific programs, and the disbursement of funds to projects and initiatives is made in consultation with state and local elected officials.

“Maryland’s highly-regarded transportation network is the lifeblood of the State, directly affecting every citizen and the essential viability of our economy,” said Blue Ribbon Commission Chair Gus Bauman. “In the highly competitive economic environment that we inhabit, other States and regions will not stand still. We must keep focused on this issue and re-establish the public trust in the Trust Fund.”

The Blue Ribbon Commission on Transportation Funding, initiated in 2010 by the Maryland General Assembly, was established to address funding challenges. The Commission is required to review, evaluate, and make recommendations concerning:

·         Current State funding sources and structure of the Maryland Transportation Trust Fund;

·         Short– and long–term transit, highway, and pedestrian and bicycle facility construction and maintenance funding needs;

·         Options for public–private partnerships, including partnerships with local governments, to meet transportation funding needs; 

·         Structure of regional transportation authorities and the ability of these authorities to meet transportation needs in various regions of the State;

·         Impact of economic development and smart growth on transportation funding; and

·         Options for sustainable, long–term revenue sources for transportation.  

“To meet the challenge of funding Maryland’s transportation needs it is important to seek the input and ideas of stakeholders in both the public and private sectors,” said Transportation Secretary Beverley K. Swaim-Staley. “The Governor’s forum on transportation funding provides a unique platform for a free exchange of ideas as we work together to chart a course for funding transportation in our State.”

The O’Malley-Brown Administration has taken steps to begin resolving the funding issues. This year’s legislative action provides for repayment of nearly $100 million a year in funding to the Trust Fund by fiscal year 2014. During the 2007 Special Session, the Administration took action to address issues affecting transportation funding. The Maryland Department of Transportation was allocated additional revenues in the amount of $450 million per year; the sales tax was increased from 5 to 6 percent; the titling tax was raised to 6 percent; and several Trust Fund transfers were shifted to the General Fund. As a result of these actions and due to the additional revenues expected from these changes, the Department of Transportation added a total of $450 million per year of new capital projects. However, the full impact of the national economic downturn took hold shortly thereafter. The Department was forced to reduce its capital budget by $2.1 billion. While the additional $450 million in revenue did cushion the damage, the severity of the downturn prohibited the State from making the progress expected.

The Administration continues to demonstrate a commitment to rebuilding and revitalizing Maryland’s infrastructure. The first segment of the Intercounty Connector from I-370 to MD 97 (Georgia Avenue) opened in February, and the remaining segments from MD 97 to I-95 are under construction and should be complete late 2011/early 2012 – supporting thousands of jobs in Montgomery and Prince George’s County. The Administration is also working to construct the Red and Purple Lines, has invested $21 million in the Halethorpe MARC station improvement project, and continues to compete for federal funding to bring high-speed rail to Maryland among many efforts to rebuild and restore the state’s infrastructure.

Prior to his inauguration for a second term, Governor O’Malley convened a series of five “Maryland Forward” forums designed to gather the input of various stakeholders, including recommendations for legislative in areas including jobs and the economy; skills and education; sustainability; children and health; and public safety and security. These day-long summits brought together stakeholders to generate concrete actions and recommendations that support the Administration’s strategic goals. Following that series, Governor O’Malley has convened smaller groups of local stakeholders, including today’s discussion, which focused on specific policy areas that will help Maryland be a winner in the new economy, protect our neighborhoods, and create jobs.

HISTORICAL COMMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER

Shoes

Something we all take for granted these days are shoes. This has all come about during the last 60 years or so. Women have always had a lot of shoes to go with different outfits. Most of the shoes for men consisted of a good solid pair of dress shoes; maybe some work shoes and possibly a pair of athletic shoes. There are very few men who polish their shoes nowadays. This was a habit I picked up when I was away at high school. I still wouldn’t be caught without a nice shine on my shoes.

         

People got more life out of their shoes years ago, thanks to your friendly shoe arcade. They would put on new heels and soles, either whole or half soles. A good pair of shoes would last a long time with the proper care. And once a good pair of shoes was broken in, there was nothing any more comfortable. For a time in the 1950’s and ‘60’s, some people put metal taps on the heels. There were even toe taps that could be used to make a distinctive sound along with the heel taps; you don’t see any of this anymore,

         

When I was growing up, the boys had two choices for shoes. Either “penny” loafers or “Chucks” were the order of the day. By “Chucks”, I mean the model of Converse All-Star that was endorsed by Chuck Taylor. They were predominately black with white trim around the sole. Any tennis shoe that was black with white trim but were not Chucks were referred to as “fish heads”. I think they still make Chucks today in many colors. I had a pair that I wore smooth playing basketball on our chip and tar driveway. I remember taking them to my grandfather’s workshop and putting them in a vice. I then proceeded to use one of his saws to put new tread on them. They worked great. This seems like a lot of trouble to extend the life of a pair of $3.98 sneakers, but that is the way things were done in the 1950’s. There was a period in the 1950’s that “white bucks” were all the rage. I remember that whenever someone showed up at school with a new pair, it was the obligation of every other boy to step on the new shoes.

         

Now, everybody wears athletic shoes, primarily for the comfort. When my oldest son was just beginning to walk, we bought a pair of white, high top leather shoes. The leather soles on them would become slicker than glass after a short time. I would take them to the basement and rough up the soles again. This never lasted too long. Then a sales girl at the Athlete in the old Mall told me that the high top shoes were bad for the development of his ankles. Also, she had a son a little bit older than mine and said she got him a very small pair of Nikes. I did the same and he ran everywhere, without once slipping.

         

Yes, we have come a long way from home-made school clothes. In those days the only thing purchased at a store was shoes and many a child had to work in the canning factories to get their shoe money. Now, parents think nothing of spending $100 on new shoes for their children.

Charge No:

001Description:DOGS AT LARGE PROHIBITED

EDITORS NOTES:

OK, here's the deal. Last weekend a small group of motorcycle riders were enjoying a peaceful day out when they were traveling down Meadow Bridge Road in the Fruitland area. As  the lead rider was passing the Brewington's home, their dog went after the first rider, missed and then went after the second rider. Unfortunately the stupid dog was able to latch onto the second rider and caused an accident. The bike was severely damaged and there was also injuries to that rider.

Here's the deal. The lead rider was the husband and the second rider, (who wrecked) was his WIFE. It has been reported that this is NOT the first time the Brewington's dog has gone after bikers or bicyclists. In fact, if YOU have even been a victim of such attacks by this/these animal/s please contact the WCSO and let them know.

Besides the criminal charges filed yesterday, a civil lawsuit will likely follow on behalf of the victim. If found guilty the fine should only be around $50.00 but it will also mean the Brewington's are liable for the accident and the lawsuit could be hefty.

Former County Council Candidate Mike Brewington, (Julie's husband) was recently charged criminally by the WCSO for a DUI and possession of CDS the following day.

It's important for all motorcycle riders to be well aware of the history of this animal coming after bikers on this road. If you happen to know of another home where dogs tend to come out after you, please let everyone know in comments so we can all avoid traveling in that direction.
