Pride in the Park offers fun and freedom for local transgender people - even if only for a day
FERNDALE - It was an overcast day and chilly for August, but spirits were sunny and hearts were warm at Transgender Michigan's Pride in the Park picnic on Aug. 22 in Ferndale.
This year's turnout, compared to last year's crowd of almost 100, was a bit smaller for the Pride celebration's third year in Ferndale's Geary Park.
"We're worried that the weather may have turned people off," Executive Director Rachel Crandall said at the event.
But despite the threat of rain and slow trickle of picnickers, Crandall said early in the afternoon that they'd be there until 6 p.m. …
Bulgarian Kotooshu made history in Japan's ancient sport of sumo Saturday as he became the first European to win an Emperor's Cup.
The 25-year-old Bulgarian star needed only one win from his weekend bouts to claim the title. He jump-started Mongolian opponent Ama from the face-off and crashed into the sekiwake's chest, getting both arms wrapped around his "mawashi" belt to bulldoze him over to the side of the ring.
Kotooshu then tackled him from behind, throwing himself on top of the opponent who went smashing down to the dirt surface at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan arena.
The victory lifted Kotooshu, real name Kaloyan Mahlyanov, to a 13-1 …
I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, but that was anotherdismal display from the Dons.
Every week I moan that our defence was woeful or that we hadnothing up front, and this game was no different.
Bleat on all you want about us still being in so manycompetitions, but if we keep playing like that, we are in danger ofending the season empty-handed.
I should have known from the moment I bought my pie that it wasgoing to be a bad day - you would have needed a magnifyingglass to see if it had any filling!

Living in Idaho is not easy. My mother, stepfather, brothers, sisters, and I moved here when I was nine years old. We lived in New York until my mom and dad divorced. People have always been compelled to ask, as if entitled to my genealogy, "What nationality are you?" I hate to answer because the question is incorrect. It implies that I don't look like I was born in the United States. "I'm an American," I sometimes reply, sarcastically. I think they really want to ask, "What is your ethnic background?" "I'm mixed," I reply. "My mother is white and my father is black."
My answer is an over-simplification of the facts. It's easier than saying "none of your business" or "Native …
A former aide to Rudy Giuliani is out of prison and attacking the ex-mayor's ethics, saying he was ordered to help Giuliani's then-girlfriend get an apartment at a monthly rent below market rates.
Russell Harding, who got five years for embezzling more than $400,000 in city funds and downloading child pornography onto his computer, claims on his Web site that Giuliani's two terms as mayor were marked by ethical breaches.
Harding, 43, claims that in 1999, while he was the head of the city's Housing Development Corp., he was instructed to help the mayor's girlfriend, Judith Nathan, get a Manhattan apartment that would normally cost more than $3,000 a month …
Our job is to report change in the local community, which theCheddar Valley Gazette has done since 1954.
We have also seen significant change in the newspaper itself. Iwas reminded of this by a cutting from April 1986 which told thatthe paper was switching from the larger broadsheet size to the"neater, handier and more popular" tabloid format now used by almostall local papers and most of the nationals.
The pages would be smaller but there would be more of them, andby the time I joined in 1997 the pagination was usually 72 a weekwith three pages devoted to purely Cheddar Valley news.
Nowadays 112 pages is normal with nine pages devoted to …
AMMAN, Jordan - President Bush said Thursday the United States will speed a turnover of security responsibility to Iraqi forces but assured Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that Washington is not looking for a "graceful exit" from a war well into its fourth violent year.
Under intensifying political pressure at home, the American and Iraqi leaders came together for a hastily arranged summit to explore how to stop escalating violence that is tearing Iraq apart and eroding support for Bush's war strategy.
With Bush hoping to strengthen his Iraqi counterpart's fragile government, the tensions that flared when their opening session was abruptly cancelled Wednesday evening were …

Zac Efron got some fastball pointers from an Atlanta Braves pitching coach while pitching his baseball-themed movie "Charlie St. Cloud" in this city.
The teen heartthrob stopped by a youth baseball camp in Atlanta while promoting his new film Tuesday.
A smiling Efron sporting sunglasses and a leather glove played catch with young all-stars. He worked the crowd, signed autographs and also gleaned some tips about the sport from Braves pitching coach Roger McDowell.
In his new movie based on a novel, Efron plays a high school student whose love of baseball helps him cope after his younger brother dies in a car accident.
Efron's new film opens July 30. Best known for the "High School Musical" series, Efron also starred in "17 Again" and "Hairspray."
Northwestern has accepted an invitation to open the footballseason against Oklahoma in the Pigskin Classic at Soldier Field. Thegame will be at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 23.
For the Wildcats, it means an additional game on national TV(ABC) and $650,000. Big Ten rules call for the league's teams toshare bowl money, but that doesn't apply to preseason bowl games, soall the money is NU's to keep.
Neither NU officials nor Pigskin Classic officials would confirmthe Wildcats will play in the game. But Oklahoma assistant athleticdirector Mike Prusinski did."The deal is done," he said. "They don't want to announce ituntil Friday morning because they're still working out a few detailswith Soldier Field. But it's all pretty cut and dried."NU officials acknowledged only that they were speaking withPigskin Classic officials. But the Oklahoma athletic department wasready to issue a press release quoting NU coach Gary Barnett assaying, "Our players and staff are very excited for the opportunityto play in the Pigskin Classic, especially against such atradition-rich program like Oklahoma."The Pigskin Classic, which opens the nation's football season,used to be played in Anaheim, Calif. But there was so littleinterest in the game there, it switched to a participating team'shome field. NU's Dyche Stadium is under heavy reconstruction, andthere was concern it wouldn't be done in time for the game.Oklahoma, traditionally one of the top programs in the country,has fallen on hard times lately, going 3-8 last year. None of themembers of its senior class has played in a bowl game."So we're going to treat this like a postseason bowl game,"Prusinski said. "We're going to come up to Chicago on Wednesday andtake in the sights."Originally, the Pigskin Classic signed Nebraska to play in thegame but couldn't find anyone willing to play the Cornhuskers.Finally, Clemson stepped up, but Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said hedidn't want to play Clemson. Nebraska pulled out late last week, andthe game's officials went looking for two teams."They called us and said, `Are you interested in playingNorthwestern?' " Prusinski said. "We said, `Sure. Are you kidding?We'd love to.' "

FDIC debating insurance limit increase
Washington, The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. kicked off a wide-ranging debate about revamping deposit insurance by asking whether toincrease the $100,000 insurance limit or charge higher premiums toriskier banks. The deposit insurance system, though operating well,has structural problems that require banks "to fund insurance losseswhen they can least afford it," FDIC Chairman Donna Tanoue toldreporters. In addition, some banks have complained the bank andthrift deposit insurance funds are over-funded, with reserves at $40billion, and have called for rebates. Federal Reserve Chairman AlanGreenspan and Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers both oppose abanking industry proposal to double deposit insurance to $200,000.

Robert Simmons loses. Stop the presses?
No. It's just another indication top-ranked Evanston is onlywarming up.
For Evanston coach Willie May, this is the time of the seasonwhere if his team is at full strength, he has everybody in the rightposition and they're hitting on all cylinders, he's in big trouble.
So consider it a good sign for the Wildkits that even with someexperimentation, with Sekou Smith scratching on three of his fourtriple jumps and Simmons not running the 100 and finishing second inthe 200, they still won the Bloom Invitational Saturday.
Smith won the triple jump with his only official jump, DarylRichardson ran on three winning relays and Zack Roadhouse won the1,600 and anchored the winning 3,200 relay as Evanston beat Bloom66-62.
"Why run your best stuff now?," May said. "I've never beenoverly concerned with winning invitationals. I'm looking fordevelopment. Everybody has a chance to make the state team until thefirst week in May. I try to give as many kids as possible a shot."
May liked what he saw from Richardson, a career-long triplejumper who is becoming a sprinter. He ran on the Wildkits' winning400 (43.8), 800 (1:30.39) and 1,600 (3:27.56) relays.
"He showed a lot today," May said. "We told him we were goingto have to go to him (on the relays, to replace a runner who did notcome out) and he has accepted the challenge. I'm thrilled with hisdedication and work habits."
Bloom junior Antonio Francis was the top individual competitor.He won the 100 (11.13) and beat Simmons (22.05) to win the 200(21.91).
"It's a big win. It gives me a lot of confidence," saidFrancis, who qualified for the semifinals in the 200 at the statemeet last year. "I know who he is. I know he can run. I justthought if I could hang with him until the 50 mark, I'll have achance. Once I hit the straightaway I knew I was OK."
Simmons, who was fifth in the 100 and sixth in the 200 at thestate meet last year, was running the 200 for the first time thisseason.
"Regardless, it bothers me that I lost," he said. "But it givesme something to work for. I felt I ran pretty well. But I didn'tsee him (coming up) and I didn't have time to come back."
Matt Klima led Oak Park (42 points) to third place.
It has been a year since entry loads were banned by SEBI. Do youthink it has helped the small investor?
We believe entry loads on mutual funds were abolished to benefi tinvestors. Over the past year, we have seen most investors turningaway from mutual funds and losing out on wealth creationopportunities offered by, perhaps, one of the best periods in thehistory of the Indian equity markets. This is because theintermediaries do not have an adequate incentive to recommend mutualfunds.
With the abolition of entry loads, intermediaries are expected tocharge investors for their services, but are unable to do so in theabsence of a pricing framework. It is, therefore, natural for themto take the easier path of recommending products such as unit-linked plans, structured products and fi xed deposits, which are notsubject to such regulation. This is where the outcome of the movediverges from its intention.
How can AMCs resolve the problems of distribution and reachingcustomers in small towns?
The past year has been a defi ning period for the mutual fundindustry and a lot will depend on how we deal with the distributors'disinterest. We will continue to focus on our distributor network.Independent fi nancial advisers and bank branches offer access ineach neighbourhood and are key channels. Simultaneously, we willleverage new channels, such as stock exchanges and online platforms.PSU banks remain under-utilised and I see potential in using theinsurance industry as a channel.
Mutual funds are the simplest, cheapest market-linked products.Despite this, ULIPs had registered better sales than mutual fundseven before the no-load regime. Why?
The playing fi eld has been uneven for mutual funds and ULIPs.This was so before the zero entry load regime and is worse now. Ifyou remove the pricing anomalies and allow the two to be sold onindividual merit as investment options, the question would bedifferent. ULIPS' liberal pricing regime has allowed them to bemarketed aggressively compared with mutual funds, which have hadcaps on loads and expense ratios for several years. ULIPS also havethe insurance aspect, which has an emotional appeal for mostconsumers. This is why customers continue to pay premiums for ULIPSand discontinue SIPs in mutual funds in adverse market conditions.There is scope for insurance and fund houses to work together andcreate quality products. A framework supporting such partnershipscould go a long way in the growth of both industries. It is notabout one industry growing at the cost of the other.
Nearly 22 per cent of investors in equity funds exit within ayear of investing. Is there a fundamental flaw in the way the Indianinvestor looks at mutual fund investments?
Unfortunately, investing in equity mutual funds is still viewedas an option to make quick gains and investors try to time theirentries and exits with a view to maximising gains. Many are unnervedby a downturn or volatility in the equity markets. We havereiterated that time spent, not timing, is the key to success inequity investing. The only way to change investor behaviour isthrough sustained initiatives in educating them, complemented bydistributor advice and hand holding during volatility.

In this surreal month, time has stopped in the nation's capitalwhile the rest of the world is rushing on.
The oldest intact skeleton of early man was found in SouthAfrica. The NBA All-Star game was canceled. Iraq blocked UnitedNations arms inspectors yet again. Mideast peace is hanging by athread. Astronauts are building a space station in space. AndPresident Clinton's futile attempt to deny his lewd behavior is beingused to try to remove him from office.
Despite the lack of public outrage against Clinton, many Housemembers are determined to put a president on trial in the Senate foronly the second time in U.S. history. Andrew Johnson was the first.Richard Nixon resigned before the House voted to impeach him.Clinton will not resign.While the rest of the world gapes in disbelief and the Americanpeople squirm in embarrassment and irritation, the crux of thecharges against Clinton is that he used a tortured definition ofsexual relations developed by lawyers for Paula Jones in anow-defunct sexual harassment lawsuit to justify lying under oathabout sex with Monica Lewinsky.Those who want Clinton removed from office argue that he hassubverted the government and betrayed his trust with the people anddisgraced his office and violated his presidential oath. It is nodefense for Clinton supporters to argue that many other presidentshad much more flagrant illicit sex, because the issue is lying underoath.The stunning stupidity of the president's "fooling around"(Lewinsky's term) with a psychologically insecure young White Houseintern while being sued for sexual harassment is maddening andsaddening.But constitutional lawyers, historians, legislators andAmericans of every stripe disagree on whether the ensuing lies andcover-ups, with many of the alleged facts energetically disputed bythe White House, merit removal from office.In a he-said/she-said dispute over exactly what happened in asexual encounter, how can anyone else know for sure what the exacttruth is? Hearsay is not legal evidence. Sin is not necessarilyimpeachable. Americans have known since Gennifer Flowers thatClinton is not a proper role model.Lawyers furiously debate whether a crime of perjury isimpeachable if proven and how a president's state of mind can beproven and whether an impeachable offense must be a crime. Laymenwonder if this nightmare is some kind of test of national sanity andwhy they should care anymore.CEOs fret that their profits could slide. Foreign leaders worrythat Clinton will not be effective trying to tamp down age-old feudsaround the globe.The national discourse has been coarsened irretrievably.Children make crude playground jokes, and the butt of them is thepresident. TV talk shows have discussed oral sex so indiscriminatelythat it is no longer shocking to hear it.Meanwhile, the wronged wife smiles regally for the cover of afashion magazine and gloats in her new svelteness and popularity.Her husband stands awkwardly beside her, acting sheepish andtentative. Their daughter struggles to cope at school 3,000 milesaway.And meanwhile, the White House is not in a black shroud but isthe glitziest it has been during the Clinton years - shimmery andglamorous in gold, silver and white, thanks to the efforts ofthousands of volunteers. And there was Clinton, lighting thenational Christmas tree on the Mall with baseball great Sammy Sosa.It is somewhat breathtaking to hear the chief White Housecounsel say the president's behavior was "morally reprehensible."Has such a denunciation ever been uttered in public before by peopleworking for a sitting president?Yet those lawyers also insist that while Clinton's overallintention was to mislead and evade, his words themselves were socarefully phrased that they were literally truthful (if oral sex doesnot constitute sexual relations or an affair).On the other hand, it is especially disturbing to onlookers thatthe debate in Congress on impeachment has proceeded along party linesand that people who literally have hated Clinton for years areleading the charge.Maybe it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is when membersof Congress debate whether admitting before a grand jury to aninappropriate relationship but denying it was "sexual relations" isgrounds for overturning a national election.Ann McFeatters covers the White House for the Scripps HowardNews Service.
