Prayer Requests For Some in Need
Linda, from Flipside and her son, whose serious medical condition continues, we are praying now for him to stay infection free, out of the hospital and continued health.
Some of our MOC friends are fighting serious battles, Sailer's wife and others, facing the fight bravely. Her surgery went fairly well, but having a bit of trouble in the recovery mode.
Now, please add the following to your prayers, it will be greatly appreciated:
An unborn Darden baby/cousin. Gabriel, his mom and dad and extended family. Gabriel is facing serious medical conditions, heart, tumors, most likely has something called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. I do not understand the medical stuff much, but, I do understand that this unborn baby is in serious trouble and needs much prayer.
Dorene Paul of the Graveyard Rabbit of Sandusky Bay and her mother. Dorene tells me "my mother is in the final stages of pancreatic cancer. She had cancer in 2008, and did very well for two years. Now the cancer is back, it is spreading, and the chemo is not helping."
Thank you all.
*Editing to add, please also include my aunt Doise, who had back surgery recently and has ended up back in the hospital with serious complications. At the moment she is stable, but, in no way, is she out of the woods.

UNISON members took part in a march through Doncaster town centre today in support of the Care UK workers currently taking industrial action against pay and conditions.
UNISON union regional organiser Jim Bell explained why the march had been organised: "We are at deadlock it's as simple as that. The company is not making any concessions and we're not weakening.
"The support for us is growing nationally and internationally, we have had messages of support from abroad, and at the rally on Sunday we will decide on further industrial action."
Care UK managers are confident that a comprehensive plan and great team work over the last ten days has ensured that lives have continued as normal in the service that supports 140 Doncaster people with learning disabilities.
Care UK's director of learning disability services Chris Hindle said: "We have seen a clear weakening of interest among Unison member to continue this action over the past few days.
"Over 40 per cent of Unison members have chosen not to strike this time. Those taking strike action represent fewer than 30 per cent of the total workforce, many of whom are not Unison members. Our contingency plans have delivered an excellent level of safe, high quality support for service users during this and previous strikes and, at the end of the day, we must remember that the service is commissioned by the local authority which is facing a genuine struggle to meet a growing demand with tighter and tighter budgets. Whichever provider was chosen to deliver this service would have had to reduce costs in some way and our proposal which protected jobs, basic salaries and allowed those transferring into the service to retain their generous NHS pensions was a fair option."
The strike finishes at 7am on Monday, and will be the end of two weeks of industrial action, totalling 34 days over a three month period.
The Care UK employees were joined on the picket line this week by UNISON's General Secretary, Dave Prentis.

Philly Newspaper Owners Threaten Liquidation
The owners of Philadelphia's two major newspapers have threatened to liquidate or sell the company's assets if they can't get new labor contracts by Friday, according to the union representing journalists.
Local Newspaper Guild leaders were meeting Thursday with executives of Interstate General Media LLC, the group that owns The Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily News and its joint website, Philly.com.
The Guild notified its members last week of the alleged threat, saying the company was demanding new agreements with all 11 unions. Ten unions have been working without contracts since October; the current Guild contract expires next October.
Owners are seeking $8 million in concessions from Guild members alone, and the union does not want to reopen their agreement.
"We will not be held out as scapegoats, to be blamed for not bargaining a new agreement while we have one standing," Guild president Dan Gross wrote in a Jan. 12 letter to members. "The owners are smart businessmen who do not leap into business deals or investments blindly."
Several powerful local business leaders formed Interstate General Media to buy the financially troubled newspapers in April for about $55 million. It's the fifth company to own the media outlets since 2006.
Bill Ross, executive director of the local Guild, said in an email Thursday morning that the meeting with management was in progress. A spokesman for Interstate declined to comment.
Gross, a gossip columnist for the Daily News, stepped down from his union position Wednesday after being approved for a buyout. He leaves the company Feb. 1.
Teamsters Local 628 President John Laigaie, which represents newspaper delivery drivers, did not immediately return a call on Thursday. Laigaie told the Inquirer last week that while the possibility of selling assets or liquidation had been raised during bargaining talks with his unit, he hadn't been notified that Friday was a deadline for such a decision.
For years now, the newspaper industry has been savaged by rising costs and declining advertising revenue as readers increasingly consume news for free online.
The Philadelphia newspapers have endured especially tumultuous times. Owner Knight Ridder sold them to McClatchy in 2006, and a group of local investors shelled out a whopping $515 million to buy the properties from McClatchy a few months later.
That company, Philadelphia Newspapers LLC, filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Creditors paid $139 million for the papers at a bankruptcy auction in 2010, and Interstate paid less than half that to acquire them nine months ago.
In April, the newest owners pledged patience and an extra $10 million for newsroom operations even as they conceded the company hadn't made money for years. They said overall revenue had dropped from about $500 million six years ago to half that, while costs had not declined nearly that much.

Submission + - New Tech Promises Cheap Gene Sequencing in Minutes (gizmag.com)
Zothecula writes: Sequencing an entire genome is currently a highly complex, time-consuming process – the DNA must be broken down into segments and replicated, utilizing chemicals that destroy the original sample. Scientists from Imperial College London, however, have just announced the development of a prototype device that could lead to technology capable of sequencing a human genome within minutes, at a cost of just a few dollars. By contrast, when sequencing of the genome of Dr. James Watson (co-discoverer of the structure of DNA) was completed in 2007, it had taken two years and cost US$1 million.

Nationally known speaker and author Jennifer Jolley Rothschild returned to her alma mater, Palm Beach Atlantic University, this week to remind students that "your story really matters."
|Jennifer Rothschild '86 speaks while her husband, Dr. Philip Rothschild '85, looks on during Founders Day chapel at Palm Beach Atlantic University this week.
At her side was her husband of 26 years, entertainment management professor Dr. Philip Rothschild, whom she met while they were both students at PBA.
"The time that you have at PBA is not accidental. There's a reason that God has allowed you to be at this place during this time, just like He had for Phil and for me," she said.
Dr. Rothschild said that PBA, then known as Palm Beach Atlantic College, had only about 400 students in the early 1980s compared to more than 3,500 today. The Palm Bay native said he decided to come to PBA after talking with his pastor and reading a brochure that invited students to "come grow with us."
"I can't tell you how impactful coming to Palm Beach Atlantic College was for both me and Jennifer," said Dr. Rothschild, now a faculty member at Missouri State University.
The Rothschilds, who are the parents of two sons, spoke before hundreds of Palm Beach Atlantic University students, fellow alumni and guests during Founders Day chapel in the Rubin Arena of the Greene Complex for Sports and Recreation. The annual event is sponsored by the Palm Beach Atlantic University Alumni Association to commemorate the University's establishment in 1968.
Diagnosed in ninth grade with a disorder that would eventually rob her of her sight, Jennifer Rothschild left her hometown of Miami on her own to attend Palm Beach Atlantic in 1982. "I had this insatiable thirst for independence," she said.
She met her future husband, a self-described "bushy-headed, scrappy kind of kid," through a mutual friend. They soon fell in "like," she said, and they dated throughout her freshman year.
The couple shared several stories from their time at PBA, including their first kiss in Trinity Park near campus and Dr. Rothschild's eventual marriage proposal in front of the appropriately named Phillips Point building.
They married in 1986 and remained at Palm Beach Atlantic, where Dr. Rothschild served as director of Student Life and Jennifer Rothschild began her music career leading worship for Campus Ministries.
During Dr. Rothschild's time at PBA, he created the Impact Leadership Team, which has remained the University's student leadership development program.
Now, more than 30 years after the Rothschilds came to PBA as freshmen, they encouraged students to "keep looking at Jesus."
"Whatever your story is … you are refined by whatever God has allowed in your life. So take whatever it is and keep looking, and looking, and looking at Jesus," Jennifer Rothschild said.
Dr. Rothschild reminded students about the importance of remembering those who have helped them through their life journey. He personally thanked Founding President Dr. Jess Moody "for building this university and giving Jennifer and me an opportunity to look to Jesus."
Dr. Moody was among the special guests in attendance, along with his son Patrick and daughter-in-law Amy; former board of trustees chairman John Greene; and former board chairman Robert Simpson. Both Greene and Simpson continue to serve as trustees of the University.
In addition to speaking in chapel, Dr. Rothschild also met with students in the Impact Leadership Team during his visit to PBA.

Reduced Federal Funding for Emergency Preparedness Puts the Nation's Communities at Risk

Reduced Federal Funding for Emergency Preparedness Puts the Nation's Communities at Risk
Trust for America''s Health''s "Ready or Not" report reveals preparedness gaps after a decade of progress
Washington, D.C. (December 20, 2011) – The National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) commends Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation for drawing attention to strained resources by releasing the ninth annual Ready or Not? report. This year's edition underscores the negative impact that ongoing cuts to federal public health emergency preparedness have had on vital state and local programs that detect and respond to disease outbreaks, emergencies, and acts of terrorism.
"The last few years have strained our already fragile public health system," said Robert M. Pestronk, NACCHO''s executive director. "We've had an outbreak of a new flu strain, several unpredictable natural disasters, and a global economic crisis that continues to affect all sectors of American society. Local health departments are part of a safety net for all people in their communities, but with a workforce already stretched thin, it's only a matter of time before the net lets the unsuspecting through."
TFAH's Ready or Not? cites the most up-to-date economic impact data from membership surveys conducted by both NACCHO and the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials. Since 2008, 49,310 state and local public health department jobs have been lost to layoff and attrition – 14,910 in state health agency central offices and 34,400 in local health departments. NACCHO's July 2011 job loss and program cuts survey data also showed that between July 2010 and June 2011, more than half (55 percent) of all local health departments reduced or eliminated at least one program. Emergency preparedness ranked second on the list of programs experiencing significant reductions.
Among other findings, Ready or Not? warns that declines in federal funding have put 51 of the 72 cities including Baltimore, MD, Kansas City, MO, and Portland, OR at risk for program elimination in 2012. These cities are part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-funded City Readiness Initiative which helps large metropolitan areas, with greater population density prepare to dispense medicine quickly and on a large scale.
"Local health departments work hard to plan, train, and prepare for emergencies," said Pestronk. "But at this critical juncture of dwindling funding and difficult choices, health departments are now doing less with less. Budget cuts and a declining public health workforce challenge their ability to protect the health and well-being of all people in their communities."
NACCHO's members are frank about the bind they are in. For example, leaders of the strapped Bay County Health Department, in Bay City, Michigan, worry that if a new strain of the flu were to break out, the department might have to turn away some community members seeking vaccinations. Bay County's workforce is now 20 percent smaller than it was when the H1N1 crisis occurred and 40 percent smaller than it was just six years ago. The health department has seen its budget shrink by 10 percent since 2010, and it expects more cuts in the next fiscal year.
Bay County Health Director Barbara MacGregor's biggest fear is that the county won't be prepared in the event of a large scale disaster or emergency. "We're prepared as best we can be, but you have to have human beings," she said. "You can have all the equipment you want in the world, but if you don't have the people on the ground doing the work, you're not going to be successful. With continued federal cuts to emergency preparedness and local health department funding in general, we are being set up to fail."

Turnout for today's municipal elections varies from town to town, driven primarily by local issues. But overall, most election officials described the morning rush as "normal" to "a bit below" normal for municipal contests.Typically, the bigger push comes later as voters head home from work. Polls remain open until 8 p.m.
Voters in Norwich, Putnam and Windham will decide who will be their mayors, and communities from Colchester to Thompson have competitive races for first selectman.
And for the first time, residents can register to vote on Election Day — a wrinkle that could modestly boost turnout, but one that registrars are confident they're prepared for.
"We're ready. Our folks are trained and our moderators are picking up their materials tonight," Norwich Democratic registrar Dianne Daniels said Monday. "We're hoping for a higher-than-normal turnout."
One of the region's most crowded ballots is in Killingly, where 13 people are running for the Town Council and voters will consider four questions to amend the town's charter.
"I'm hoping, with the four charter revision questions, we'll have a higher-than-normal turnout," said Janice Thurlow, the town's Democratic registrar. The registrar's office will have seven people at all five polling places, with an extra staffer at Town Hall for same-day registration.
Because of a write-in candidate in District 4, Thurlow said final results could come later than usual tonight.
Putnam Mayor Peter Place has opted not to seek re-election, setting up a contest between Democrat Tony Falzarano and Republican Barney Seney. Voluntown and Thompson also each will have a new first selectman.
On Monday, the secretary of the state said 2.01 million people are eligible to vote in Connecticut, and officials have set up an Election Day hotline, and volunteer attorneys are on hand to address any problems that arise throughout the day.
Daniels said Norwich's three-way mayoral race among incumbent Republican Peter Nystrom, Democrat Deb Hinchey and Libertarian William Russell, along with a forecast for temperatures in the 50s, should draw more people out to the polls.
She said Russell's candidacy has not led to an influx of people registering to vote.
"As of right now, we have not seen a huge increase in voter registration because of it, but if it gets people out to vote, I'm all for it," Daniels said.

Decreased muscle concentrations of ATP and PCR in the quadriceps muscle of fibromyalgia patients – A (31) P-MRS study.
– Source: European Journal of Pain, January 30, 2013
by G. Gerdle, et al.
BACKGROUND AND METHODS: Fibromyalgia (FMS) has a prevalence of approximately 2% in the population. Central alterations have been described in FMS, but there is not consensus with respect to the role of peripheral factors for the maintenance of FMS.
( 31) P Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy ((31) P-MRS) has been used to investigate the metabolism of phosphagens in muscles of FMS patients, but the results in the literature are not in consensus. The aim was to investigate the quantitative content of phosphagens and pH in resting quadriceps muscle of patients with FMS (n?=?19) and in healthy controls (Controls; n?=?14) using (31) P-MRS. It was also investigated whether the concentrations of these substances correlated with measures of pain and/or physical capacity.
Significantly lower concentrations of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and phosphocreatinine (PCr; 28-29% lower) were found in FMS.
No significant group differences existed with respect to inorganic phosphate (Pi), Pi/PCr and pH.
The quadriceps muscle fat content was significantly higher in FMS than in Controls [FMS: 9.0?±?0.5% vs. Controls: 6.6?±?0.6%; (mean?±?standard error); P?=?0.005].
FMS had significantly lower hand and leg capacity according to specific physical test, but there were no group differences in body mass index, subjective activity level and in aerobic fitness.
In FMS, the specific physical capacity in the leg and the hand correlated positively with the concentrations of ATP and PCr; no significant correlations were found with pain intensities.
CONCLUSIONS: Alterations in intramuscular ATP, PCr and fat content in FMS probably reflect a combination of inactivity related to pain and dysfunction of muscle mitochondria.

ITEC finance questions answered
Officials from the North Central Pennsylvania Regional Planning and Development Commission [NCPRPDC] attended Tuesday morning's Elk County Board of Commissioners meeting to again reiterate the fact that the sale of the Industrial Technology Education Center [ITEC] to the county features no spending of county tax dollars of any kind."When ITEC was built in 1997 or 1998, a bond issue was taken out," said Jim Chorney, director of finances for the commission. "The bond issue was backed by Jefferson and Elk counties. "There were a few different percentages for their portion and the building was built through the bond issue."Since that time, bi-annual payments have been made on the building, but not by using any tax dollars whatsoever."The counties have not contributed any portion to that to this point," Chorney said. "Everything that has been paid for has been paid for through income-generating activities through the school. "At the time that the school opened, it was primarily through tuition and now it's through rent income coming in right now."Elk County Commissioner Daniel R. Freeburg reiterated the point by stating that "no local tax dollars were used to build the ITEC facility."According to NCPRPDC executive director Eric Bridges, the original bond that was issued at the time of construction was for Elk and Jefferson counties, but "Cameron County came on about four years ago when we restructured the bond."However, there haven't been any county taxpayer dollars on it."The plan was to have the counties make payments on it if the facility didn't generate the money, but that has never happened," said Elk County Commissioner June H. Sorg.

MEXICO CITY – Mexico's Supreme Court has ruled against reinstating electrical workers to their jobs, ending a three-year legal battle between the electricians and the government.
Magistrates voted unanimously on Wednesday to overturn an appellate court's ruling in favor of the Mexican Union of Electricians, or SME.
The workers launched a legal battle in October 2009 after then President Felipe Calderon order the dissolution of the state-run Luz Y Fuerza power company.
The union protested Calderon's decision with hunger strikes, marches and lawsuits.
The government said it ordered the company's dissolution because its spending was increasingly outpacing sales.
The company supplied 25 million consumers in Mexico City and the surrounding area. The Federal Electricity Commission, the state-run utility that provides electricity across the rest of the country, took over those customers.

"This was delicious! However, it was a bit too lemony...next time I will make it with only 1 tablespoon of lemon juice."
Reviewed Sep. 14, 2010
"This was a very good recipe, which I used for my version of eggs benedict. The sauce was creamy and full of flavor. It was fairly lemony, but that may have been because I used organic, real lemon juice, which I think is highly concentrated. Overall, it was fabulous - as good as any other eggs benedict I've ever had. I used polenta rounds browned in oil in place of english muffins - wonderful!"

I was one of the lucky people to get a ticket for Paul McCartney's one-off show at the 100 Club in London. Billed as a show to help publicise the possible closure of the legendary club due to increasing rents the show took place ahead of two rare theatre shows… (cont'd) Dave from Stockton

Oklahoma City Thunder Details
Fans in Oklahoma proved they could support an NBA team when the New Orleans Hornets were forced to play a majority of their home games in Oklahoma City in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The Seattle SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City in 2008 and changed their name to the Thunder. The Thunder play at Chesapeake Energy Arena, and they are the only major pro sports team in Oklahoma.
The Thunder arrived in Oklahoma with many pieces already in place for their future success. The SuperSonics had already drafted Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Both players were on their way to becoming superstars by the time the Thunder made the playoffs for the first time in 2010. They made the NBA Finals for the first time in 2012, losing to the LeBron James-led Miami Heat in five games. In 2014, Durant won the NBA MVP award, but the Thunder lost in the conference finals. After injury struggles caused the team to miss the playoffs in 2014-15, the Thunder returned to the Western Conference Finals in 2016 but lost to the Warriors in seven games.
After the Thunder's playoff loss, Kevin Durant shocked the NBA by signing with the team that just eliminated him. Durant was the most coveted free agent of the 2016 offseason, and his signing with the Warriors made one of the all-time best teams even better. The Thunder moved on, resigning Russell Westbrook who responded with an incredible season in which he was the NBA's MVP. During the season, Westbrook averaged 10.4 assists, 10.7 rebounds, and 31.6 points per game, making him the first player since 1962 to average a triple double. The Thunder returned to the playoffs as the West's 3rd seed but lost in the first round to the Rockets.
Despite their early playoff exit, the Thunder should be able to build on Westbrook's MVP season. During the offseason, the team acquired all-star small forward Paul George from the Pacers. Led by George and Westbrook, the Thunder should be among the top teams in a challenging Western Conference.

Cora (or Cory, as I knew her) was the ninth child (the youngest) and fourth daughter of Edward Jesse and Mary Bickerstaff. She was born in 1911. She never married.
In later life, after their parents were both gone, they lived together in a small house near the end of our street. When I was a young child I thought they were married.
This photo was taken sometime between 1941 and 1945.

The bystander fatally shot in downtown Calgary early Saturday morning was a dedicated and caring PR professional, who had recently moved to Calgary from Toronto.
Three people are in police custody and a fourth man is being sought.
Natasha Mohamed Farah, 26, was killed around 3 a.m. Saturday outside the Bronco Smokehouse Saloon nightclub on 11th Avenue and 1st Street S.W.
"She loved life. She loved dressing up. She loved going out and meeting people. She was very professional and she was not a partier," said Danielle Iversen, Farah's former boss.
Farah graduated from an intensive public relations program at Toronto's Humber College in 2012 and she spent five months in 2012 as an intern at Iversen's company.
"She really had a knack for PR ... She loved going to our events and meeting the clients and taking care of people," Iversen said.
"She cared about her internship."
Members of Calgary's Somali community gathered Monday evening at a Christie Park mosque to pray over a plain, wooden coffin.
About 50 people drove together to a Muslim cemetery outside Cochrane, where Farah's coffin was lowered into the ground. Deceased Muslims are traditionally buried by sundown the day of their death, though investigators in this case couldn't release the body until an autopsy had been done.
Women wiped their tears with head scarves as men stood holding their chins in silence. Many told the Herald that three close family members were in attendance.
Calgary police took one man into the arrest processing centre Monday evening but said he was a witnesses found to have outstanding warrants for unrelated events.
The circumstances behind Farah's death remain unknown but police said the shooting did not appear to be targeted.
They were called to the Beltline intersection around 3 a.m. Saturday for reports of gunfire.
When officers arrived, they found Farah suffering from a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead on scene.
Staff Sgt. Michael Cavilla of the homicide unit said police believe four people were together in a car when multiple shots were fired from the vehicle. Investigators aren't sure whether the car was moving at the time.
"There was a number of people around," Cavilla said. "We're extremely fortunate there was only one person hit by a bullet."
Police said three individuals were arrested at a hotel in Calgary's Motel Village in the northwest.
All three arrested are known to the Toronto Police Service, Cavilla said. One was being sought by the Toronto police on a Canada-wide warrant for attempted murder. As of Monday afternoon, police continued to question the three, and wouldn't say how they became known to Toronto police.
Cavilla said officers also identified and located a silver Volkswagen Jetta that was seen leaving the scene of the shooting.
Police are also seeking a fourth person in relation to the fatal shooting.
The man is described as black, approximately 20 years old, five foot eleven and about 160 pounds. Police said he often wears a gold medallion around his neck.
Cavilla said police don't believe there were two groups fighting with each other that led to the shooting.
"Nothing has come to light to the investigative team so far that would indicate there was a target in the close proximity to the victim," he added.
Investigators would also like to speak to witnesses and are asking people to send any related photographs or videos to firstname.lastname@example.com
The crime marks the city's 23rd homicide of the year.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP/WIBW) _ A three-judge panel has ruled in favor of parents and schools who say the state's formula for funding education is unconstitutional.
Attorney General Derek Schmidt immediately filed notice to appeal the ruling to the Kansas Supreme Court.
Read the full court opinion and entry of judgement- click here
Parents and school districts had argued the state has failed to live up to its promises to increase elementary and secondary education funding as ordered by the Kansas Supreme Court in 2006. They say schools have had to make cuts that have hurt student achievement.
Friday's 245-page ruling from Shawnee County District Court also barred lawmakers from further cuts to per-pupil spending.
The decision comes just days before lawmakers convene for their 2013 session Monday. Sen. Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, says the ruling will change the tone of the session. He says lawmakers should be proactive in addressing the issues raised in the ruling rather than wait for the courts to order them to take action. Hensley says the legislature never had funded the base aid per pupil to the level required following a 2006 Kansas Supreme Court ruling.
But House Speaker-elect Ray Merrick, R-Stillwell, says Friday's district court ruling may not spur any further action as lawmakers wait for the outcome of an appeal. Merrick says, right now, he does not believe schools need any more money, pointing the formula by which schools are allotted funding as the real problem. Merrick says the state gives schools a lot of money and he is not convinced it's all being used to get the best possible outcomes.
In its ruling, the district court judges wrote, "the best point at which to begin to effect a cure to the constitutional deficiencies we have found in the reductions in the BSAPP (base state aid per pupil) is to go back to the 2008 session when a constitutionally compliant legislature amended K.S.A. 72-6410(b) (1) to adjust the BSAPP for FY2010 and forward to $4492 and adopt that sum as a funding requirement for FY2014."
It is not clear how quickly an appeal might move forward.
Statement from Gov. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas:
"The ruling by the district court is disappointing but not unexpected given the Kansas Supreme Court's previous ruling in the Montoy case in 2005. Through today's ruling, the courts are drastically increasing the property tax burden on every Kansan. The Kansas Legislature, not the courts, has the power of the purse and has, in fact, increased total state funding for schools every year during my administration. The legislative process is the appropriate venue for debating and resolving issues of taxation and spending."
Statement from House Minority Leader Paul Davis, D-Lawrence:
"I am very encouraged by the court's decision today. I am particularly pleased that the court acknowledges that Governor Brownback's tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations directly conflict with our constitutional obligation to fund public schools. I hope Governor Brownback will now focus his efforts on ensuring that our children receive a quality education and not on punitive measures aimed at our courts."
Statement from Senate Pres.-elect Susan Wagle, R-Wichita:
"Once again, Kansas judges have overstepped their constitutional bounds and defied the will of Kansas voters and their elected representatives and senators. With today's decision, this judicial panel ignored the system of checks and balances that every Kansas student is taught in school and decided that they alone, not the people via the legislature, would determine how the people's money should be spent, by imposing a specific dollar amount that Kansas must spend for education.
"These judges have made themselves the sole arbiters of spending—and by extension, taxation— in Kansas. They have demonstrated no regard for the ability of struggling Kansas families to pay higher taxes, if necessary, to meet their demands. This also disregards the will of Kansas voters, who overwhelmingly elected a House and Senate that supports the existing school funding policy—one that maintains educational quality while also being sensitive to the very real difficulties being faced by Kansas taxpayers.
"I am committed to upholding the will of the majority of Kansans who want their elected leaders to maintain high-quality public education. I am committed to restoring to Kansas the fundamental American principle that only the elected representatives of the people of Kansas—accountable to them at the ballot box—may enact laws regarding spending and taxation."
Statement from Senate Majority Leader-elect Terry Bruce, R-Hutchinson:
"The recent education ruling is the illegitimate next step to the Montoy decision. By usurping the power the legislature to appropriate state funds, judges have bestowed upon themselves unprecedented power which is now leading to a constitutional crisis. There is no better example of why the state of Kansas needs to reform its judicial selection process."
Statement from House Speaker-elect Ray Merrick, R-Stilwell:
"The House is committed to ensuring a quality education for all Kansas students and will work tirelessly to achieve that goal. However, the legislature, not the court system, has the duty of balancing the critical funding needs of all Kansans when appropriating tax dollars."
Statement from House Majority Leader-elect Jene Vickery, R- Louisburg:
"While I was disappointed with the District Court's ruling in the school finance case, the House Republican Caucus is focused on solutions to ensure Kansas children are college or career ready. Governor Brownback has committed Kansas to improving 4th grade reading levels and House Republicans are not only eager to achieve this goal, but also to work with parents and educators on improving outcomes in all areas of public education."

PITTSBURGH -- Andrew McCutchen clubbed his 15th homer of the season and the Pittsburgh Pirates completed a doubleheader sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals with 6-0 victory on Tuesday night.
Brandon Cumpton (1-1) allowed three hits over seven innings to pick up his first major league win. The sweep propelled the Pirates into first place in the NL Central. Pittsburgh is a season-high 22 games over .500 (64-42).
Tyler Lyons (2-4) gave up four runs, three earned, in six innings. The rookie struck out five and walked one but received no help from a reeling offense. The Cardinals have dropped six straight and have scored five runs in their last 56 innings.
St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina left in the fourth inning with a right knee strain.
