Gay couple elected prom king and queen in Maine’s Sanford High School

Friday, June 3, 2011

Although prom may have taken place over two weeks ago at Maine’s Sanford High School, the fact that students elected a gay couple as prom king and queen remains the talk of the local community.

During the May 14 event, 17-year-old Christian Nelsen was named prom queen, running as a write-in candidate. One of Nelsen’s friends, Holly Smith, spoke of the help they provided in getting him elected: “The day of prom, we went downstairs, and he was yelling ‘Vote for Christian Nelsen!’ And I was helping people spell his name, or telling them how to write it on the ballot”.

Anyone can win, and on that same notion any type of person can win.

Nelsen’s boyfriend, Caleb Jett, was elected prom king. “I kinda got voted in because he got queen, and it was like ‘Who do we vote for king?’ and it was like ‘Oh, well, his boyfriend, obviously, because that makes sense,'” he said. The two young men wore suits, shirts, and ties to the prom. When the results of the election were announced, they danced the king-queen dance together, Jett wearing his crown and Nelsen his tiara.

Maine is one of only two states in New England that have not recognized same-sex marriages. Though they are aware that not everyone supports them, the couple ran to combat high school stereotypes and to encourage more tolerance. Nelsen commented, “It doesn’t matter if it’s a guy or a girl who wins prom king or prom queen from now on. Anyone can win, and on that same notion any type of person can win. And I’m talking about the tolerance level of all people when I talk about that, so anyone who is bullied or even just under the radar can win this type of thing.”

Minister of a parish of the United Church of Christ Reverend Diane Wendorf supported the couple, citing her church’s values of tolerance and diversity. “I’m glad, too, that they were crowned king and queen, because there are all different kinds of people in this world.” Some Sanford residents a local news agency interviewed did not approve of the gay couple’s crowning, though none agreed to go on camera — out of concerns that their comments might offend someone.

The matter is expected to be brought up by interested citizens at an upcoming school committee meeting. Committee Chair Mark Lucier stated that the school is gathering information on the election, and that the committee may decide if it needs to address the future selection of prom kings and queens.

Botox In Laserase Belfast: How To Be Safe, In A Largely Unregulated Industry

Botox in laserase Belfast: How to be safe, in a largely unregulated industry

by

Therese

In the UK, there are approximately 5,000 clinics, spas and salons which offer injectable treatments such as Botox (Botulinum Toxin), they carry out 200,000 procedures annually. In 2009 the number of procedures increased by 25%.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9rjpPCb6Kk[/youtube]

In August 2010, a government backed register was launched for those who offer injectable cosmetic treatments, such as Botox. Those who meet the standards as set out for The Independent Healthcare Advisory Services register, will receive a quality assurance mark. The IHAS hope that their new register will discourage ‘Botox parties’ and unqualified individuals from attempting these procedures. They are also keen that the treatments are only carried out in clean and safe clinical locations. The IHAS require all who sign up to their register to complete a face to face consultation prior to any treatment, which will prevent drop in clinics. The IHAS believe injectable treatments should only be carried out those with relevant medical training such as Doctors and registered Nurses. They are trying to eliminate unqualified Beauticians from the industry in an attempt to make the procedures safer. Due to the nature of the substance ‘Botulinum Toxin’, things can go wrong (in a very small number of cases) and in the event of a patient having an allergic reaction, the IHAS feel that beauticians are unqualified and unprepared to potentially have to save someone’s life. In Belfast, believe it or not, some people are putting themselves at risk by receiving cheap treatments from inexperienced providers. Some people are prepared to have a potentially poisonous substance injected into their skin by someone who has no formal qualifications and does not fully understand what they are doing. Unqualified providers of Botox who don’t inject it correctly can cause lumps on your skin, asymmetry and even permanent damage to your skin. Is it really worth the risk? Dr Donal Mckeown, of Laserase Medical Skincare Clinic in Belfast offers advice to anyone considering Botox, or any other injectable treatment. Dr McKeown is a graduate of Queens University Belfast Medical School and is a member of The British Association of Cosmetic Doctors (BACD). He urges those who are considering such treatments to make sure the provider is safe before they receive any treatment. Ensure they are fully registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) and The British Association of Cosmetic Doctors (BACD). Also ensure the clinic is fully registered with the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority (RQIA).

U.S. February budget deficit is largest on record

Saturday, March 12, 2011

The U.S. Treasury Department reported the government posted a monthly budget deficit of US$222.5 billion in February, the largest monthly deficit ever recorded. The February deficit, announced on Thursday, outstripped the February revenue gain of $110 billion.

The report comes at a time when the White House and both national political parties are under extreme pressure to reduce the deficit as well as the total U.S. debt. There is no agreement on how to reduce spending and increase government revenue, and both Democratic and Republican measures have been voted down.

Factors contributing to the February 2011 deficit compared to that of February 2010 included a 69% reduction in corporate tax receipts, and an increase of 29% in interest payments due on the U.S. debt. The government also spent more than in the previous February on entitlement programs, including an increase of 11% on Medicare. Government measures, such as an extension of unemployment insurance benefits, cuts in the payroll tax and some business tax reductions also contributed to the deficit.

The White House has predicted that the U.S. budget deficit will reach $1.6 trillion this year and then fall to $1.1 trillion in 2012. Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, has warned that by April 15 of this year, the U.S. is likely to reach its $14.3 trillion borrowing limit.

Apple releases iPhone SDK, announces upcoming update

Thursday, March 6, 2008

During a media event held at its Cupertino headquarters, Apple released the long awaited iPhones Software Development Kit (SDK) and the associated iTunes “App Store” and iPhone Developer Program. The SDK will allow third party software developers to create applications for the iPhone and then distribute them on the iTunes Apps Stores. Any members of the iPhone Developer Program can add applications to the store for free; the program costs $99 (USD) to join. Developers will be able to set the price of the applications or release them for free. All applications will have to be approved by Apple before being allowed on the store. Some of the disallowed categories are”porn”, excessive bandwidth users and anything malicious or illegal. VoIP applications would be allowed over Wi-Fi only. Enterprises can setup private pages on the store to distribute internal applications.

At the event several third party developers that had been given early access to the SDK demonstrated their applications. Among the applications demonstrated were EA‘s Spore, AOL‘s AIM instant messenger and a client for epocrates, a drug reference service.

The company also announced the iPhone 2.0 update that was released as a closed beta for developers and is scheduled for public release in June. In the new version Apple has been focusing on enterprise features in an attempt to compete with rivals like RIM‘s BlackBerry and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile. The update adds support for ActiveSync, which Apple has licensed from rival Microsoft, WPA2 and virtual private network support. The update will also be available to iPod Touch users for what Steve Jobs described as “a nominal charge”, as Apple have done in the past with the previous iPod Touch and MacBook Wi-Fi updates.

Wikinews interviews Dr. Phil Klotzbach on upcoming hurricane season

Wednesday, May 5, 2010

On June 1, hurricane season in the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding areas will commence, signaling the potential for a tropical storm to develop at any time. After last year’s relatively quiet season, with only nine named cyclones, meteorologists are on-guard for increased activity over the upcoming summer and autumn. Hurricane season runs until November 30, and while storms are known to have developed at practically any time of the year, most tend to form within those bounds. The peak of hurricane season is considered to be within the month of September.

In 2009, a weather pattern known as El Niño in the Pacific Ocean and dust from Africa prevented many storms from developing. However, both of these inhibiting factors are relenting, and waters in some parts of the ocean are abnormally warm. As a result, forecasters are concerned that the 2010 season may be significantly more dangerous, comparing it to previous destructive periods, such as 1969, 1998 and 2005. In an exclusive interview, a Wikinews reporter talks with Colorado State University hurricane expert Dr. Phil Klotzbach on the upcoming hurricane season.
