Josh Seefried: Employment Nondiscrimination Is an LGBT Military Issue, Too

"I don't know what we're going to do when I get reassigned. My partner has to find a new job if he wants to come with me. He's not covered by TRICARE [military health insurance]. Right now he works for a company where he can't be fired for being gay -- but there's no guarantee he can find that at my next duty station."
--Air Force officer

"Don't get me wrong: I'm thrilled that 'don't ask, don't tell' is gone. And I don't feel like I have a right to complain; it's just that the practical logistics of taking care of a family, which the military insists I don't have, makes it really hard."
--Navy petty officer

Earlier this month OutServe members gathered in Washington, D.C. for the first "Capital Summit: Our Families Matter." The timing couldn't have been more perfect for a summit focused on gay and lesbian military spouses and partners. In the wake of President Obama's historic statement in favor of marriage equality -- specifically mentioning the service of gay and lesbian soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines -- we are optimistic about the future, but there is still a lot of work to do.

Non-government organizations, such as the National Military Family Association, Red Cross, Give an Hour, and Blue Star Families, attended the summit to make their support and resources available to partners and families of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) service members.

But the government offers almost nothing.

Also, last week, an organization committed to banning workplace and career discrimination, Freedom to Work, was on Capitol Hill, fighting for employment nondiscrimination. Specifically, the organization was urging Congress to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, or ENDA, and was advocating for President Obama to sign an executive order banning federal contractors from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.

Although ENDA would not affect military personnel, it still is a critical issue to LGBT service members. Even though a majority of LGBT military personnel serve on active duty, many serve in reservist or national guard status, which means their main employment is outside the military, leaving them vulnerable to being fired simply for being gay. No servicemember who chooses to serve their nation should have to feel like they are at risk for losing their job because of who they are.

Even more vulnerable than the servicemember themselves is the family. The military reassigns its active duty personnel every few years, so a partner who has a job in a company or state with protections can only hope that, upon moving, they can find a new job where they don't have to hide their same-sex spouse. Federal contractors employ many people on or close to military bases, so our partners -- who have to get jobs because our benefits don't cover them -- are eager to land these jobs. Our veterans also want to work for contractors, but because of a lack of LGBT workplace protections, federal employers can still fire people just because they're gay or transgender, regardless of how well they do their jobs.

A new study from the Williams Institute shows that an executive order prohibiting workplace discrimination could protect up to 16.5 million American workers, many of whom are servicemembers outside active duty and their spouses, in dire need of providing for their families.

Integrity and respect for all are core military values. Fairness in employment is an American value. The president's personal statement on marriage, and the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell," are great steps toward those values, toward treating people equally and fairly. But we are not honoring our families if we don't continue to fight for them, recognize their sacrifices, and provide them with the support -- and the jobs -- that they need. Let's make no mistake, this is am LGBT military issue, too.

McLaren Automotive opens McLaren Jeddah in Al Ghassan Motors ...

The McLaren showroom, part of Al Ghassan Motors new retail complex in the sophisticated residential and shopping district of Tahliah Street, is a fitting venue for the British brand, which has now launched four of its six Middle East showrooms.

Commenting on the launch, Harrison said: "McLaren has firmly established its presence in Saudi Arabia today with the opening of McLaren Jeddah; the new showroom provides our customers and fans with an impressive facility where they can see our debut model the MP4 -12C, and soak up some of the McLaren brand values. In particular, our attention to detail and focus on performance and exceptional customer service."

Visitors will be able to see the first 'pure' McLaren production road car, the MP4-12C. The debut model will be joined within a year by the second of McLaren's planned model line-up, with a full range of McLaren sports cars in place within three or four years.

The 12C draws upon the company's longstanding Formula 1 experience and features a number of unique and innovative features that help make it the world's fastest and most efficient high performance sports car in its segment: the world's only one-piece, moulded carbon chassis; a lightweight, highly efficient 592bhp V8 twin turbo engine; and an innovative 'Proactive Chassis Control' suspension system that allows drivers to switch between ultimate track performance and optimum road comfort.

Alongside the 12C in McLaren Jeddah's new showroom is the iconic McLaren Formula 1 car, MP4/13. Dominating the 1998 season the car went on to win nine Grands Prix and produced a first World Drivers' Championship for Formula 1 legend Mika Hakkinen along with the World Constructors Championship and 12 pole positions for the team.

Sheikh Ghassan A H Al Sulaiman commented: "We are proud to welcome McLaren Automotive as a partner in the Al Ghassan stable of automotive brands. As an innovative and forward thinking brand with a rich racing heritage, McLaren also values customer service, and, I believe, will offer an exciting new choice in this market for our discerning customers in Saudi Arabia."

Al Ghassan Motors is one of an initial 35 retailers appointed worldwide to sell its range of high-performance, premium sports cars, starting with the ground-breaking MP4-12C. As a specialist in luxury automotive cars, Al Ghassan Motors brings a wealth of experience and an extensive knowledge of the Saudi Arabia market to McLaren.

The Middle East is a key market for McLaren Automotive. In addition to the three showrooms already open in Abu Dhabi and Dubai (Al Habtoor Motors) and Kuwait (Ali Alghanim & Sons), the company's full regional network will include retailers in Doha (Al Wajba Establishment) and Manama (Al Ghassan Motors). There is also a service centre in Beirut (Saad & Trad Sal).

Remote-controlled Aquabotix HydroView takes underwater HD video, Mrs. Puff calls insurance agent

Remote-controlled Aquabotix HydroView submersible takes underwater HD video, Mrs. Puff calls insurance agent

Using an iPad to control your music system? Been there, done that. Using an iPad to control a submersible that also records underwater video in 1080p? Oh, the possibilities. Aquabotix is giving Jacques Cousteau wannabes the ability to shoot the watery depths all the way down to 150 feet as its underwater doohickey -- the HydroView -- officially goes on sale. Measuring 14.6 x 19 x 7 inches and weighing nine pounds, the submersible comes with LED lights, a three-hour battery and a top-side box that connects with a cable tether. The box also allows users to communicate with the HydroView via an iPad, Mac or PC. Besides getting video proof of, say, which swimmers ate too many bean burritos for lunch, the submersible can also take pictures and gather data about water conditions. Top speed for the submersible is five knots -- one knot when going in reverse. Just make sure you don't channel your inner SpongeBob while remotely driving the thing. Although it's not in the same league as Rinspeed's submersible Elise, the HydroView still doesn't come cheap at $3,995 a pop. Check out the official PR and, uh, low-def video of the diminutive diver in action after the break.

Startup Venture Capital 101 | EzAdBlaster.com

Startup Venture Capital 101

Startup capital is the capital that an entrepreneur needs to pay the necessary items needed when starting a business, like business space, equipment, supplies, and employee?s paychecks. Meanwhile, venture capital is the fund that a venture capital (VC) firm or an angel investor would provide to a starting or trouble-laden business.

Unlike loans, venture capital is invested in the business rather than being returned. With bank loans, for example, the money borrowed should be returned within a specific period of time along with interests and other fees. But with venture capital, the money is provided in exchange of equity in the business. The venture capital firm would take part in the business, they could have one of their own to be a member of the board of directors.

Aside from having a portion of the company, the VC would also have the right in knowing the operation of the business. Their opinions would matter especially when making decisions in the company. VCs rarely concern themselves with the daily operation of the business unless the life of the company or business is being threatened. Aside from this, the VCs? opinion would also matter and they could prohibit the portfolio company to close down.

The difference between a venture capital firm and an angel investor is simple. An angel investor does not operate like a firm and more of a wealthy individual who invests in startup businesses. An angel investor usually does the transaction informally and privately. An VC firm could be a group of wealthy investors or an affiliate of a bank or an insurance company.

Another difference between an angel investor and a VC is the amount that they could give to the starting entrepreneur. VCs would normally provide funding not less than $250,000. Angel investors on the other hand could give a smaller amount than VCs but still in exchange of equity.

Not all venture capital firms invest on startup businesses. There are different types of capital which depends on the different stages of the business. For example, the seed capital would be mainly for research or planning stage. Startup capital would be for the procurement of initial needs. The mezzanine capital would be fore expansion and there are also later-stage capital or funding which would be for transitional stages in the company. So before you bring you business plan to a venture capital firm, make sure that they are indeed for startup businesses.

VCs do not just invest on the next business venture. Currently, because of economic crisis affecting us, venture capital firms would rarely invest in other business but rather concentrate on their existing portfolio companies and make sure that they are running well.

But even if we are not in an economic recession, VCs are still very selective with their investments. They would have to consider the nature of the field where your business will be a part of, geographic or location preferences, the product or the service?s marketability, strong management and competition. Aside from that VCs are known to accept those businesses that would enable them to profit big time within 3 to 10 years, other within 5 to 7 years.

Application for a startup capital would require the entrepreneur to submit a comprehensive and complete business plan. Some VCs would even require the list and credentials of the management team and financial projections. The entrepreneur just needs to clarify with the VCs about the additional requirements.

To exit out of a business, the VCs would sell their share of the company through an initial public offering or IPO to the company. The company or the business could buy the stocks within the next 7 years. They could also exit through a merger with another company, where the VCs would receive payment for their stocks. VCs could also exchange the equity for money and the management teams gets incentives from the equity.

We would need to understand capital venture firms and their startup capital investment. In this way, simple, starting and young entrepreneurs could start their business an know their options. If you have decided that VCs are the right place to go for your business venture, then go ahead and present your plan. It could be start of your success

Top Pediatrics Group Takes Aim at Controversial 'Disorder'

Woody Sims was a gifted boy. His mother said he began reading at a very early age, and he was a bright student in preschool.

To those around him, his development in his early years seemed normal. But in his college essay, Woody, now 18 years old, described a childhood experience marked by "deep fears of loud noises, cooked carrots and handwriting.

"I was over-stimulated, which meant I couldn't handle certain textures, and freaked out at loud noises," Woody wrote in his essay. "I also had problems managing tasks with multi-sensory inputs, like handwriting and catching a ball. These sensory problems meant that sports, driving, and concerts would all be things I couldn't ever do or see without a great deal of difficulty."

For Woody, the diagnosis of sensory processing disorder, or SPD for short, came very early, at age 4. His mother, Pam Sims, had arranged for him to be tested for his school's gifted program. It was the tester who informed her that he believed her son fit the bill for the disorder.

"We thought his physical development stuff was more related to his height," said Pam Sims, now 52, of Denver, Colo. "We didn't know anything about sensory processing disorder."

In a coincidence that Pam Sims calls a "luck of the draw," a center devoted to the research and treatment of this disorder happened to be located in Denver, where they live. It was here, at the STAR Center, that Woody engaged in sensory-based therapies aimed at improving his coordination and social and interactive therapies to help him deal with stimuli in his environment that he found harsh and jarring.

"It is amazing what it did for him," Pam Sims said. "As time went on, we had more treatments. We stopped when he was about 7 or 8 years old, as he had learned to regulate himself."

Stories like Woody's appear to support the existence of SPD -- and there are many such stories. Nevertheless, solid research confirming the existence of SPD is in far shorter supply, many in the medical community say. And on Monday, it would seem that new recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics have dealt another blow to the legitimacy of SPD. Specifically, the AAP recommends, "At this time, pediatricians should not use sensory processing disorder as a diagnosis."

The recommendations also suggest to pediatricians that they inform families that the evidence for sensory-based therapies is limited and that outcomes from these therapies should be monitored closely.

"I think the academy statement reinforces the decision that there is not enough information at this time to conclude that this is a distinct disorder," said Dr. Michelle Zimmer, a professor in the UC Department of Pediatrics and a lead author of the recommendations. "Moving forward, there needs to be a lot more research in this field."

Dr. Larry Desch, director of developmental pediatrics at Advocate Health Care and also a lead author on the recommendations, said that he did not anticipate that the recommendation would be well-received among parents and doctors who believe sensory processing disorder should have its own place as an official condition.

"I think they'll be unhappy, some of them," he said. "But I'm hoping it will lead to more research studies being done."

Senior Care Service In New Jersey | Autismo2011.com

Providing elder care to your parents, spouse and friend is a challenging challenge when you are faced with the daily responsibilities. You?re working with a sick or injured parent that may need hospitalization, rehab or nursing home care. Before starting any type of elder care, you will need to gather information about your loved one. Make a list of their health-related supplyrs, health insurance information, dental office, pharmacy information, list of prescription drugs and dose instructions. You will need access to their health insurance and prescription cards. Keep a diary of current medical treatments, hospitalizations, tests, x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc. Write down their essential information, healthcare history, next of kin information and any allergy information. This will be necessary each time they are hospitalized or need healthcare care.

As a caregiver you will need to establish what type of long-term care is necessary. Will you be dealing with an elderly person with Alzheimer?s disease or a bedridden person that need 24 hour elder care? Are you the only caregiver or do you need a nursing agency for assistance? Some people can get help from other family members or church members. You may need to search for the acceptable type of elder care for your cherished one. Do a full investigation on their health insurance cowlage. What kind of health insurance includeage or Medicare benefits is available? Do they include long-term care? Is there any healthcare cowlage through a pension plan?

If you need in-home care elder care, a nursing company will do an analysis and go over the types of elder care they can offer. If you are a working individual with an aging parent, contemplate using adult day care facility for elder care. If you need to vacation, or travel on enterprise respite care will keep your loved one for a few days. Other in-home care elder care you need to contemplate is companion services, home healthcare, hospice care, live-in home care, daily meal preparation, particular care, rehabilitation, transportation, private duty nursing and going to physician care.

UPDATE 1-Renaissance unit Topaz inks phase one of debt plan

Sun May 27, 2012 12:11pm BST

* Topaz signs $203 mln loan deal as part of refinancing plan

* 7-yr deal, secured against shipping vessels - source

* Phase two of $330 mln plan expected later in 2012 (Adds detail, share price)

DUBAI, May 27 (Reuters) - Topaz Energy and Marine, a unit of Oman's Renaissance Services, has signed the first phase of a $330 million refinancing loan agreement with banks, its parent said in a statement to the bourse on Sunday.

The plan totals $203 million and was arranged and financed by Standard Chartered, DVB Bank and First Gulf Bank, the statement from Renaissance said.

The transaction is a seven-year shipping finance deal, secured against the company's vessels, a banking source familiar with the transaction said. The source, requesting anonymity, added talks were ongoing with three to four other parties about joining the facility.

"Stripping out the engineering unit into a separate company was a good move. The marine part has got healthy cashflows so we're comfortable backing it," the source said.

The plan will refinance Topaz's existing borrowings and releases $60 million in trapped equity.

Topaz operates mainly in the Middle East, North Africa and Caspian Sea region, running a fleet of 100 offshore support vessels.

A $57 million second phase is planned for later this year, according to a Chairman's Report on first-quarter results, and Vishal Goenka, Renaissance group's chief financial officer said that international and regional banks were interested.

United Arab Emirates - based Topaz appointed banks in November to lead the refinancing initiative.

It was hit by a $2.9 million fraud scandal last August, and prior to that, in March, forced to pull a London listing amid valuation concerns and regional unrest.

The company originally said it was seeking $380 million for refinancing, and expected the deal to close by the end of last year.

Its operating profit fell to 5.8 million rials ($15.06 million) in the first quarter, from 8.8 million rials in the prior-year period according to financial statements.

Shares in Renaissance ended 1 percent lower on Sunday. The stock is down 5.5 percent this year, after slumping over 50 percent in 2011. ($1 = 0.3850 Omani rials) (Reporting by David French and Rachna Uppal; Editing by Dinesh Nair)

Article-Ken McElhaney ? State Farm Insurance Agent

state farm spanish fort al There are more cars and drivers hitting the road each year. With countless cars on the road, accidents will happen. The difference between a small bother and large pain can be car insurance. How can you decide what insurance you require and how to buy it? Required coverage varies by state/province but usually includes the following: It pays for damages due to bodily injury and property damage to others for which you are responsible. Bodily injury damages include medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. Property damage includes damaged property and loss of use of property. If you are sued, it also pays your defense and court costs. Higher recommended insurances are available that cover more than the lower, state-mandated insurance. Personal injury protection: This is required in some states and is optional in others. It pays you or your passengers for medical treatment resulting from a crash, regardless of who may have been at fault, and is often called no-fault coverage. It may also pay for lost earnings, replacement of services and funeral expenses. The minimum amount of this insurance is typically set by the state. Medical payments: This type of coverage is available in non-no-fault states and will pay no matter who is responsible for the accident. It pays for an insured person?s reasonable and necessary medical and funeral expenses for bodily injury from an accident. Collision: This pays for damage to your car caused by an accident. Comprehensive: Applies if your car is stolen or damaged by causes other than collision, including fire, wind, hail, flood or vandalism. Uninsured motorist: This pays for damages when an insured person is injured in a crash caused by another person who does not have liability insurance or by a person who cannot be identified (usually a hit-and-run driver). Under-insured motorist: This pays for damages when an insured person is injured in a crash caused by another person who does not have enough liability insurance to cover the full amount of the damages. Other coverage, such as emergency road service and car rental, is also available.What you pay for auto insurance varies by company and will depend on several factors, including: *Your selected coverage *Your vehicle?s make and model * Your driving record * Your age, gender and marital status and * Where you live Some have come to think of auto insurance as a necessary evil, but it can truly rescue your economic health Evaluate your needs, research your options and with the support of your insurance agent make the decision that best suits you. insurance quotes

Home Improvement Tips: Various Roof Materials Ideal for Certain ...











More than other architectural elements, the roof can specify the type of your property, including the time it will last and how badly it is being managed. Being the uppermost element, the roofing is the most apparent portion of your property, which makes it control the exterior structure by being promptly visible from afar.

Being above, however, can be either beneficial or detrimental. Its main benefit is its being the leading protective shield and the most expensive framework, while its downside is it gets the least focus with regards to upkeep. The second is caused by its presence, or non-visibility, although it is certainly probably the most critical components of the house.

The importance of the roof construction could not be overemphasized-any deterioration of it will definitely impact the whole property. Its right upkeep must be among top issues of a homeowner. Among the home structures though, it may be the most difficult to keep up since one must take more hard work to inspect it.

In Canada, particularly in developed cities like Toronto, many forms of houses can be found. While the predominant weather conditions decide on the kind of roofing materials found in the city, the structure usually takes precedence as the basis of choice. A southern colonial home would definitely not look good with cedar shakes roofing, although metal roofs may not be befitting a antique style and design house.

Probably the most typical roofing material in Toronto is the asphalt shingles, which also show up in some homes across the country. They are not only relatively less expensive, they can also be adapted to practically any kind of property structures and are simple to put up. This is one good reason nearly all homeowners decide on asphalt shingles for installation by roofing contractors in Toronto.

A roofing company Toronto based contractor also offers many other roofing materials to homeowners like concrete ceramic tile roofing. It tagged as one of the most versatile materials because it copies the appearance of slate, shake, or terra-cotta tiles. This roofing material lasts long and can outshine other materials available in the market.

Although many roofing materials fit your home style, you may not have to substitute your roof instantly. It is best to hire professionals initially on roofing repair Toronto contractors give to help you decide its condition-only after their assessment should you determine the sort of roofing material you want for your roof. No matter what roofing material matches your budget and preference, you can depend on professional installers to help you make the right choice.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) -- Nevada Democrats outpaced Republicans in new voter registrations leading up to the state primary.

The secretary of state's office Friday reports that from May 1 through May 22 when primary registration closed, Democrats registered 4,322 active voters, compared with 2,254 registered by Republicans. The number of active registered nonpartisans increased by 2,544 during the same time period.

Statewide, Democrats now hold a 38,792 voter advantage over Republicans. But the gap is far less than the 100,000 voter edge Democrats had going into the 2008 general election.

There are 170,769 voters registered as nonpartisan and those voters will play a big role in the outcome of the November elections.

Percentage wise, Democrats account for nearly 41 percent of all active Nevada voters. Republicans make up 37 percent and nonpartisans, 4.5 percent.

Romney Leads Poll Of Small-Business Owners

Small-business owners are leaning right leading up to the U.S. presidential election. Forty-nine percent of business owners plan to vote for presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, while 32 percent of respondents say they'll support President Obama, according to a report released this week by Manta.

In Manta's last poll in January, the president was the clear winner against the Republican field as a whole, but received just 34 percent of the total vote. Now, with Romney emerging as the GOP favorite, Obama appears to face a challenge among business owners -- although Romney is yet to earn support from all the 61 percent of small-business owners who planned to back a Republican in January.

In the eight swing states shaping up to be the central election battleground, small businesses favor Romney even more, Manta found. Of the small-business owners surveyed in those states, 53 percent said they'll vote for Romney, while 32 percent said they will choose Obama.

Nationally, general polls show a tight race between the two candidates. Obama leads Romney 47 percent to 43 percent among registered voters, according to an NBC News/WSJ poll conducted May 16-20.

Manta, an online small-business community platform, polled nearly 1,600 small business across the country for the survey earlier this month, including 396 small-business owners residing in swing states -- Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin.

Romney must win at least 79 of the 101 electoral votes in swing states to prevail if all other states run true to their 2004 and 2008 partisan preferences, according to Bloomberg.

Manta's findings come on the heels of Romney's latest jab at Obama, calling him the worst president for small business since Jimmy Carter.

Small-business owners, which candidate has your vote right now?

First Steps into Learning & Teaching in Higher Education Begins ...

I am planning to attend the First Steps into Learning and Teaching in Higher Education massive open online course (mooc) that begins today and runs through June 22. Focused on ?new lecturers, people entering higher education teaching from other sectors and postgraduate students who teach,? I am hoping to spend some time over the next few weeks on this to help my own online teaching, something I learned quite informally in the early days of online teaching and learning.

Participating in this as a mooc, one that is both structured (it is funded and offers formal university education) while also keeping the best elements of a mooc (open education, constructionist perspectives through leveled expertise, a schedule allowing for us to take what we need and share where we see a need, a workable timeline and realistic level of commitment, and the opportunity to meet new colleagues and learn in community), is what I am hoping to experience.

I am glad that the organizers of this mooc have a central ?home? location on the website and via Moodle with an easy to follow schedule, so will begin to check them out later today.

While I have participated in several moocs over the years, I am looking forward to this one as the topic is specific, useful for my professional practice, limited in scope and time, and includes some people (Jenny Mackness and Sylvia Currie) whose work I have long since found valuable and solid and cutting edge and trustworthy. I hope to get and share some ideas and hopefully expand my own network of colleagues.
