Because the City of Berkeley is a largely built-out city where what one person does with his/her property can have significant impacts on others, the City regulates most private development and changes in businesses to minimize those impacts and ensure the health, safety and welfare of the community. The activities that require some permit from the Planning and Development Department include but are not limited to:
The Zoning Ordinance determines the type of zoning permit that may be needed, based on the proposed activity. It is not possible to lay out all of the possible permits that may be needed for any given project. A sample of project types and permits needed follows:
Residential addition: Zoning permit (Zoning Certificate or Administrative Use Permit) and Building Permit (plumbing, mechanical, and electrical permits may also be needed, depending on the proposed work).
Change in business location: Zoning permit (Zoning Certificate or Use Permit), business license (a business license is not a permit but is required to do business in Berkeley ), and confirmation that there is an approved address, including suite number if necessary.
Replace water heater: Plumbing Permit
Remodel the interior of a commercial space for a new commercial tenant: Zoning Permit (Zoning Certificate or Use Permit) and Building Permit(s). Commercial tenant will also need a business license and confirmation that there is an approved address, including suite number if necessary.
Remodel the exterior and interior of an existing commercial building for a new tenant (no expansion of existing building space). Design Review (usually staff level), Zoning Permit (Zoning Certificate or Use Permit), Building Permit(s), and confirmation that there is an approved address, including suite number if necessary.
Demolish an existing residential building and replace with a new residential building: Use Permit for demolition and Use Permit for new construction and Building Permit. If the building is a landmark or structure of merit, proposed demolition would require preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and an Alteration Permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission.

We did not make it out to the beachduring the nice weather, but it least it was not raining when we did get to the beach. This should be a good approximation of where I was at when I took the pano, but unfortunately I did not mark this point with GPS and it aopears that this beach changes quite a bit during low tides. I really like the patterns of the black and white sands at this beach.

During my 20 years as a high school social studies teacher, society conveyed countless messages to remind me that I was just a teacher.
As an undergraduate, many of my non-teaching peers devalued my decision to pursue a teaching degree. Their favorite one-liner was "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." I understood their message — I am just a teacher.
Adults were a little more subtle and respectful in their approach to my career plans. "Vickie, what is your major?" "I plan to teach social studies." "Oh." Then there would be a scratch of the head or a rub on the chin and the person would say, "I just imagined with your many talents and scholarship ability you would set higher goals."
I understood the message: I was wasting my time and talents on kids. I am just a teacher.
The public also sent strong messages about my value as a teacher. Along with signing my first contract, I took a vow of poverty.
Five years into my career, I sat next to a John Deere personnel director at a job fair where we were both recruiting. We discussed employment opportunities at John Deere. That day, I could have been hired for a position at John Deere for three times my teaching salary. I wouldn't have to work weekends manning the ticket booth at football games, supervise the lunch room and break up food fights, or grade papers until midnight. But I loved teaching and I didn't take it.
The most hurtful public message was that I was to blame for just about every academic, social, economic and political problem in America. American students' test scores are inferior to students in other countries — blame the teachers. American kids are disrespectful — blame the teachers. The American work ethic is slacking — blame the teachers. And if my student doesn't earn all A's, it must be the teacher's fault. I am just a teacher.
I am just a teacher in a society where nearly 30 percent of the children eat their only hot meal of the day at school. I am just a teacher in a country where out of more than 49 million public school students, 4.5 million have special needs; more than 1 million are abused, of which half are victims of neglect; and tens of thousands of families experience homelessness each night.
Teachers think their subject is the most important in a room where each child thinks he or she is the most important, and somehow teachers make these two perspectives compatible. Teachers help students do more than answer questions — they encourage them to question the answers. Teachers create a climate where time is precious, content is challenging, the tone is serious and the lesson is inspiring.
I wondered how many lives I touched in some way during my 20 years as a high school teacher. Using my best math skills and a calculator, I taught 4,050 students — what a responsibility and privilege to be part of the growing and learning experience for these students!
I now have the responsibility for preparing current teachers who aspire to become principals. I share my passion and wisdom with them and hope they will proudly say, as I do, I am still a teacher!
Future teachers are going into a profession where they can make or break another human's spirit. They must know this is a heavy role but also one so noble, so full of rewards, that no matter how many voices say "Just a teacher," they will smile inwardly and think, "Those who can teach those who can't." I am a teacher!
Victoria Robinson is an associate professor and interim department head of educational leadership, counseling and postsecondary education at the University of Northern Iowa.

Early morning bomb threat at Texas State resolved safely
Posted by Jayme Blaschke
University News Service
January 14, 2014
A bomb threat on the Texas State University campus that prompted the evacuation of a residence hall was resolved safely early Tuesday morning, Jan. 14, after the Austin Bomb Squad detonated a suspicious package as a precautionary measure.
Approximately 300 students evacuated from College Inn residence hall at 1:42 a.m. to the Student Recreation Center were allowed to return to their rooms at 6 a.m. once the Austin Bomb Squad gave the all-clear.
The incident began shortly after 12:30 a.m. when a University Police officer on patrol spotted an individual smoking near the LBJ Student Center in violation of the university's smoke-free campus policy. The individual fled on foot but was quickly taken into custody. An inspection of the subject's vehicle revealed what appeared to potentially be an explosive device with an ignition mechanism attached.
The Austin Bomb Squad was called in and arrived at 3 a.m. By 4 a.m. the bomb squad had determined the device was not explosive, but had discovered another suspicious package in the vehicle. After X-rays proved inconclusive, the package was detonated by the bomb squad at 5:46 a.m. as a precautionary measure.
Texas State has resumed regular operations. All classes will be held as normal.

Corner Office in Denver launches Disco Brunch on Sunday
I'll probably try "the bread winner," a porchetta hash with a pair of over-easy eggs. But I'm not sure I'll slip into one of the polyester jumpsuits the staff at Denver's The Corner Office has laid-out for customers.
Starting Sunday, The Corner Office will host a "disco brunch" on Sundays, complete with disco balls, boxes full of disco-era get-ups (Elton John glasses, afro wigs, etc.), disco album sleeves on the walls, and disco music – loud. Servers? Full disco. Some are even on rollerskates.
Fun. The DIY bloody mary bar, with more than 40 items to gussy-up your drink, sounds cool. I like the list of brunch cocktails, too, including one called You Sexy Thing.

These High-Tech Glasses Help Doctors 'See' Cancer
Cancer cells are notoriously difficult to see, even under high-powered magnification, researchers said.
The glasses are designed to make it easier for surgeons to distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells, helping to ensure that no stray tumour cells are left behind during surgery.
"We're in the early stages of this technology, and more development and testing will be done, but we're certainly encouraged by the potential benefits to patients," said breast surgeon Julie Margenthaler, an associate professor of surgery at Washington University.
"Imagine what it would mean if these glasses eliminated the need for follow-up surgery and the associated pain, inconvenience and anxiety," said Margenthaler.
Current standard of care requires surgeons to remove the tumour and some neighbouring tissue that may or may not include cancer cells, researchers said.
The samples are sent to a pathology lab and viewed under a microscope. If cancer cells are found in neighbouring tissue, a second surgery often is recommended to remove additional tissue that also is checked for the presence of cancer.
The glasses could reduce the need for additional surgical procedures and subsequent stress on patients, as well as time and expense.
Margenthaler said about 20 to 25 per cent of breast cancer patients who have lumps removed require a second surgery because current technology doesn't adequately show the extent of the disease during the first operation.
Our hope is that this new technology will reduce or ideally eliminate the need for a second surgery, she said.
The technology, developed by a team led by Samuel Achilefu, professor of radiology and biomedical engineering at Washington University, incorporates custom video technology, a head-mounted display and a targeted molecular agent that attaches to cancer cells, making them glow when viewed with the glasses.
Researchers noted that tumours as small as one mm in diameter could be detected.
In pilot studies conducted on lab mice, the researchers utilised indocyanine green, a commonly used contrast agent approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
When the agent is injected into the tumour, the cancerous cells glow when viewed with the glasses and a special light.
The study was published in the Journal of Biomedical Optics.

MIAMI (AP) Malik Smith scored in double figures for the fifth straight game and Florida International topped Troy 61-55 Saturday night in Sun Belt Conference action.
Smith netted 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including 5 of 11 from 3-point range for the Panthers (10-8, 5-4). Tymell Murphy added 15 points and eight rebounds and Cameron Bell had 12 points.
Emil Jones paced Troy (7-12, 2-6) with 18 points, making 8 of 11 free-throw attempts.
The Trojans committed 12 turnovers to FIU's four, with five different players finishing with two giveaways.
Troy led 28-27 at halftime, backed mostly by 41.7 percent shooting (5 of 12) from 3-point range in the first half. The long-range magic dried up in the second half, though, as the Trojans made just 1 of 9 3-point attempts.
FIU used the intermission to fix its shooting woes, improving from 2 of 10 from 3 before intermission to 5 of 13 after.

I want to learn the theory behind garbage collection. How do i go about it?
I am also a dabbler interested in garbage collection (to the point that I wrote my own garbage collected VM called HLVM). I learned by reading as many research papers on garbage collection as I could get my hands on and by playing with the ideas myself, both raw in my virtual machine and also by writing memory-safe high-level simulations.
The obvious answer is - a compiler textbook... The question is, is it necessary to learn lexical analysis, parsing and other stuff that usually precedes garbage collection in a text?
The lexical analysis, parsing and other stuff is not relevant to garbage collection. You might get an outdated cursory overview of garbage collection from a compiler book but you need to read research papers to get an up-to-date view, e.g. with regard to multicore.
In short, what are the prerequisites to learning about Garbage collection theory?
You need to know about basic graph theory, pointers, stacks, threads and (if you're interested in multi-threading) low-level concurrency primitives such as locks.
Garbage collection is all about determining reachability. When a program can no longer obtain a reference to a value because that value has become unreachable then the GC can recycle the memory that value is occupying. Reachability is determined by traversing the heap starting from a set of "global roots" (global variables and pointers on the thread's stacks and in the core's registers)
GC design has many facets but you might begin with the four main garbage collection algorithms:
- Mark-and-sweep (McCarthy, 1960)
- Mark-and-compact (Haddon and Waite, 1967)
- Stop-and-copy (Cheney, 1970)
- Mark-region (McKinley et al., 2007)
Perhaps the most notable evolution of these basic ideas is generational garbage collection, which was the defacto standard design for many years.
My personal feeling is that some of the obscure work on garbage collection conveys just as much useful information so I'd also highly recommend:
- Baker's treadmill (a beautifully simple real-time GC).
- VCGC (a beautifully simple concurrent GC).
You might also like to study the three kinds of write barrier (Dijkstra's, Steele's and Yuasa's) and look at the card marking and remembered set techniques.
Then you might also like to examine the actual design decisions some implementors chose for language implementations like Java and .NET as well as the SML/NJ compiler for Standard ML, the OCaml compiler, the Glasgow Haskell compiler and others. The differences between the techniques adopted are as big as the similarities between them!
There are also some great tangentially-related papers like Henderson's Accurate Garbage Collection in an Uncooperative Environment. I used that technique to avoid having to write a stack walker for HLVM.
The memorymanagement.org website is an invaluable resource, particularly the glossary of GC-related terms. Finally, the Garbage Collection Handbook by Jones et al. is a superb monograph on this subject.

Marseille reach agreement with Bielsa
Marseille have reached an agreement in principle to appoint Marcelo Bielsa as coach, according to the club's vice-president Vincent Labrune.
The former Argentina, Chile and Athletic Bilbao coach has been linked to the Ligue 1 club for several weeks.
It appears a contract is close to being finalised after Labrune's comments following Marseille's 0-0 draw at home to Lille on Sunday.
"We have a tentative agreement which is now subject to the drafting of contracts," he told reporters.
"Without falling into absolute euphoria, we can consider that we are confident that this issue will be finalised... I can say that we will have a great coach for next season."
Jose Anigo has been in charge of Marseille in a caretaker capacity since December last year, when Elie Baup was sacked.
Marseille are struggling in sixth in the Ligue 1 table and appear unlikely to qualify for European football for next season.

Not all launch games are equal. Oftentimes the games that help kick off a console are gussied-up versions of the same stuff we've been playing, or cash-grabbing releases meant to capitalize on the launch day fervor. But somewhere in the pile is the gem, the one game that encapsulates everything that's great about your expensive new piece of hardware. And here we've narrowed down the best of the best.
7 %26ndash; Wii Sports (Wii, 2006)
Groan as much as you want. That won't change the fact Wii Sports jump-started Nintendo's sagging business and made the Wii console a worldwide, cross-audience hit in a way that Twilight Princess simply could not. Wii Sports was the ideal companion piece for the motion-controlled console, providing a perfect jumping-on point for people who hadn't played a game in years, as well as a damn fun party game regardless of your "hardcore" status.
Above: Plus you can thank it for all the lifestyle images that areso fun to deface
Today, it's hard to look at Wii Sports as one of the best launch games, mainly because of the glut of poorly thought out copycats that flooded the system months later, plus the lackluster delivery of future motion-heavy games. Wii Sports led us to believe there would be inventive new ways of controlling games on the way, but all we got were minigame compilations and, years later, Wii MotionPlus to make the Wii Remote behave as it was originally pitched to us. But none of these subsequent truths make our inaugural months with Wii Sports any less desirable, so as far as making us feel like our day-one purchase was worth it, Wii Sports totally delivered.
6 %26ndash; Lumines (PSP, 2005)
Accurately described as "Tetris in a disco shirt," Lumines took the dead-simple gameplay of a block-breaking puzzle game and slathered it in enough neon lights to make it visible from space. Granted, the guts were more or less like any other puzzler (clear blocks before they pile up), but the flashy presentation and genius use of reactive dance music made it feel far cooler than any Tetris clone we'd played before. As the video illustrates, the music wasn't just there to bore its way into your brain. Each time you clear a chunk of blocks there's an added layer of aural pleasure, with various dings and beeps signifying your continued success.
Above: Pure bliss
This combination of club-quality music, dazzling visuals and habit-forming gameplay was impossible on any prior handheld, making this the ideal launch title for a new portable system, more so than any other PSP game on the shelf that day (Wipeout and Twisted Metal were great, but they were still shrunken-down console games). Lumines was a clever, beautiful stab at the puzzle genre, one that was every bit as addictive as Tetris, so it's sad that the brand was diminished by three sequels in just one year.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 14, No. 2 Fall 1987
MAUREEN H. BERRY, EDITOR University of Illinois
Understanding Accounting in its Social and Historical Context: The Case of Cost Accounting in Britain 1914-1925 (London Graduate School of Business Studies, 1986) by Anne Loft.
The study of accounting history can be approached in a variety of ways and some of them are neatly synthesized in the introduction to Loft's book. A dominant choice has been to use a technical focus, concentrating on accounting mechanics and procedures. As a result, the evolution of practice seems to be shaped primarily by fate and necessity. Also popular, particu-larly in financial accounting and auditing, is research into the history of professional associations. These "official histories" tend, however, to be influenced by a priori assumptions that accountants have high social importance and that organiza-tional form has contributed to their success. A third method, largely originated by Alfred Chandler, has been to related the evolution of cost and management accounting to that of larger business enterprises. A disadvantage here is the relatively nar-row perspective which emerges when the firm's environmental context is given little consideration.
In order to bring the contextual relationships of accounting-society into the picture, Loft has adopted the genealogical research persepective developed by Michel Foucault from concepts originated by Nietzsche. Essentially, the approach Foucault took in his book Discipline and Punish1 consisted of documenting the social and historical conditions which nurtured the development of disciplinary institutions and their disciplinary techniques. Translated into the sphere of cost and management accounting, the research topic is restated as addressing, through genealogical historical methodology, "the conditions under which the accounting techniques for knowing (sic) the business organization emerged and spread" [p. 16].
Loft recognized that the field of cost and management accounting is just one of the tools for achieving discipline in a

I've always liked the "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" saying. Maybe because I eat a lot of them. Usually, I just munch on apples plain and fresh. But sometimes it's fun to dress them up, too. And the best way to do this, if you ask me? An apple galette. If you've never heard of a galette, it's basically a freeform rustic tart. In other words, it comes out looking perfectly imperfect.
I adapted this recipe from Too Much Food, who adapted it from Smitten Kitchen, who adapted it from Alice Waters & Jacques Pepin of Chez Panisse. (I love how recipes are handed around and reshaped like that.) I made a couple changes and omitted the glaze. The glaze tasted nice, but I didn't think the extra work drastically enhanced the taste of the final dessert. Go ahead and try it from the original recipe if you like.
Enough blabbing! Let's get baking. Watch the video below or here on vimeo.
(music: Pull Yourself Together And Fall In Love With Me.)
The Apple Galette (serves 2 to 4, depending on how generous you're feeling)
adapted from Too Much Food
for the dough
1 cup flour (I used a 50/50 mix of white and wheat)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
chilled water, as needed (I used about 6 tbsp)
for the filling
2 medium apples peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar (more or less depending on how tart your apples are)
turbinado sugar for topping (optional)
For the dough, sift flour in a large bowl. Mix in sugar and salt. Cut in butter, working quickly, to prevent it from completely melting. Continue until the biggest pieces of butter are roughly the size of large peas. Add chilled water a tablespoon at a time until the dough just holds together. Gather dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
When the dough is ready, roll out on a floured surface or on plastic wrap to a 14" circle about 1/8" thick. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Preheat oven to 400°F.
For the filling, place apple slices in a bowl with melted butter and sugar. Toss to coat. Overlap the apples in a circle 2" from the edge of the dough. Continue spiraling inward until you've reached the center. Fold over the edges of the dough, and sprinkle dough edge with turbinado sugar if desired (I do this for added texture more than for sweetness).
Bake on middle rack of oven for 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Rotate the galette every 15 minutes for an evenly baked crust. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

RSDCOEV - Pilot operated, balanced piston sequence valve
Part Number: RSDCOEV
Manufacturer: Sun Hydraulics
Pilot-operated, balanced piston sequence valves will supply a secondary circuit with flow once the pressure at the inlet (port 1) has exceeded the valve setting. The pressure setting of a sequence valve controls the pressure at port 1 relative to the pressure at the drain (port 3). These valves are insensitive to back pressure at port 2 (sequence), up to the valve setting. They may be used to regulate pressure in place of 2-port relief valves if there is pressure in the return line.
- All 3 port sequence cartridges are physically and functionally interchangeable (i.e. same flow path, same cavity for a given frame size).
- Pilot flow continues to increase as the pressure at port 1 (inlet), relative to the pressure at port 3 (drain), rises above the valve setting.
- The main stage orifice is protected by a 150 micron stainless steel screen.
- Pressure at port 3 is directly additive to the valve setting at a 1:1 ratio and should not exceed 5000 psi (350 bar).
- Not suitable for use in load holding applications due to spool leakage.
- W and Y controls (where applicable) can be specified with or without a special setting. When no special setting is specified, the valve is adjustable throughout its full range using the W or Y control. When a special setting is specified, this setting represents the maximum setting of the valve.
- Corrosion resistant cartridge valves are intended for use in corrosive environments and are identified by the model code suffix /AP for external stainless steel components, or /LH for external zinc-nickel plated components. See the CONFIGURATION section for all options. For further details, please see the Materials of Construction page located under TECH RESOURCES.
- Incorporates the Sun floating style construction to minimize the possibility of internal parts binding due to excessive installation torque and/or cavity/cartridge machining variations.

Show FAQ
|What are the tolerances on pressure settings for Sun's pressure control valves?
|Pressure setting tolerances are listed in our Performance Data page. A link to this page can also be found in the Additional Resources tab of the applicable product page.
|How big is a drop of hydraulic oil?
|There are exactly 250 Sun drops in a cubic inch or 15 in a cc.
|What does Sun mean by the term sequencing?
|A sequence valve opens when the pressure at port 1 exceeds the setting of the valve. When pressures at port 1 and port 2 both exceed the setting of the valve the valve goes full open, or sequences. When this happens flow can go in either direction, just so long as port 1 stays above the setting.

Contact: Jerry Horn, Priests for Life, 540-220-0095
ATLANTA, Jan. 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, will speak today in support of Georgia's Human Life Amendment at the "Let Them Live Rally" to be held at the State Capitol. She issued the following statement in advance of the rally.
My uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said that "life's most urgent question is, what are you doing for others?" I implore our Georgia legislature to do what is right for others.
For too long in our state's history, our officials looked the other way when those who had no voice were denied their rights. Black people were killed just because of who they were.
Today, there are still those who have no voice. They're killed not with guns or nooses, but medical instruments. These voiceless people are terminated not by men wearing sheets, but by those wearing doctors' coats. What's different today from the days of lynching is that the people wearing doctors' coats are now far more successful at eliminating the Black population than the Klan ever dreamed. Roughly 15 million Black children have been aborted since 1973, more than one-third of the current African-American population. Our legislators once turned their heads when Black people hung from trees. Today they turn their heads as our babies of all races are torn limb from limb. But no more!
This year, this month, this day, the Georgia legislature has the opportunity to do what is right for the most helpless and oppressed among us, our unborn children. Today, each and every one of us has the opportunity to do for others by encouraging our representatives to pass the Human Life Amendment.
To those who have supported abortion either publicly, in secret, or by just turning your heads and saying nothing, I say today is your chance to think of others; to do for others who cry out for mercy and justice. To those who fret that this might not be the time to pass the Human Life Amendment, I again quote my Uncle Martin, "The time is always right to do what is right."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

We now think we were on a false summit just 10 minutes of the actual summit. So I plan to go back to climb Denali in 2008 and also 2009. My passion is the 7 Summits!!Mountain John Christiana
Thanks Harry and MC for the comments!Just like one of my climbing partners on that Denali trip is going back in 2008 (Bob Williams aka Frodo), my plan is to go back in 2008 AND 2009. I am now convinced I did not summit. The reason I will go back in 08 AND 09 is I have several friends that have asked me to be a part of their team. I do not think I want to mix these friends on the same Denali team. I do want to make sure that I summit in 08 though, and if I have to go solo, I will. MC, maybe you can join the team in 09? My philosophy is that the team should discuss ahead of time all options if someone gets sick or tired. Of course, safety is first, but I believe safety and success can both be achieved.AS far as what constitutes a summit, I think that you need to believe yourself that you were on the summit (not what a guide, the park rangers, other climbers tell you), so this is why I am now going back for sure.AS far as the Oceania thing, I truly believe Wilhelm is the highest, so I am okay with that. I will certainly climb Kosciusko as well as that was my plan all along, as I have had separate plans to go with good friends (Tanya) and past girlfriends (Breanna), but it just got delayed.But Harry, as mentioned, I believe ALL 3 versions have good merit and will stand the test of time.I am really happy that the 7 summits passion is alive and well. If you think about it, it was just over 20 years ago that Dick Bass started the dream for all of us. So in the whole realm of things, the 7 summits is just in the beginning stage.All the best, Mountain John Christiana
Thanks Harry and MC for the comments!MC, maybe you can join the team in 09? All the best, Mountain John Christiana
Still want to climb Denali.

Workers have been busy on the MetroNorth Hudson Rail Line since last weekend's high-speed train wreck, this video captures the restoration of infrastructure in a quick time-lapse.
From the camera angle up on high, the teams of men and machines look like something from an HO-Gauge railway set in grandpa's attic. At time-lapse speed, they appear to me moving pretty efficiently.
The crash had serious consequences; four people lost their lives and 63 others were injured. As a regular rider of the Hudson Line myself, I most sincerely hope they put everything back correctly.

The White House Doesn't Want You To See This
Dave Camp, the GOP Ranking Member on the House Ways and Means Committee, issued this devastating report on job creation attributable to the ARRA legislation. In state after state, the Obama administrations projections werent just off but off by orders of magnitude.
Heres a partial list of the worst projections:
California projected gain: 396,000, California Actual: LOST 336,400
Arizona projected gain: 70,000, Arizona Actual: LOST 77,300
Colorado projected gain: 59,000, Colorado Actual: LOST 58,900
Georgia projected gain: 106,000, Georgia Actual: LOST 131,000
Illinois projected gain: 148,000, Illinois Actual: LOST 148,000
Florida projected gain: 206,000, Florida Actual: LOST 165,100
Michigan projected gain: 109,000, Michigan Actual: LOST 137,300
Nevada projected gain: 34,000, Nevada Actual: LOST 33,800
Ohio projected gain: 133,000, Ohio Actual: LOST 97,500
Pennsylvania projected gain: 143,000, Pennsylvania Actual: LOST 103,200
These are just some of the worst miscalculations. Read the entire list but only if youve taken your blood pressure medication.
One oddity stands out in the report, namely North Dakota. They were predicted to gain 8,000 jobs. They didnt meet that mark but they gained 1,800 jobs. It couldnt have anything to do with their tax cuts, could it? Surely, thats coincidental, isnt it King?
At some point, thoughtful people will reject President Obamas wisecracks about not following the failed policies of the last eight years because theyll judge President Obama on his economic failures. Theyll notice that his economic accomplishments will consist of, in his eyes, the failed stimulus bill. Other than that, what can he point to as an accomplishment?
He certainly can't point to his budget. Why would President Obama highlight a budget that includes trillion dollar deficits for as far as the eye can see? If President Obama were to highlight his budget, hed be handing GOP strategists a powerful campaign theme on a silver platter. (Just imagine the TV ads showing President Obama talking about the green shoots hes seeing in the economy, then showing the annual deficits in bold red letters, followed by VP Biden talking about how the stimulus is working better than he could've imagined with headlines of monthly unemployment figures scrolling across the screen.)

Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition
The Wikipedia page on the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition was repeatedly ripped out by an anti-gun cabal. I seems that Wikipedia has become politicized and manipulated by the Politically Correct.
Below is the content, minus all the references, about Mayor Bloomberg's coalition. Please go to Mayors Against Illegal Guns Conservapedia page to see it all. http://www.conservapedia.com/Mayors_Against_Illegal_Guns
There are a lot of indictments and felony convictions for members of a "crime fighting" organization!
The Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition is a leftist political coalition of mayors from about 400 United States cities, with a stated agenda of "making the public safer by getting illegal guns off the streets." The group was formed by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The coalition's CEO is Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley.
The majority of members of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition are Democrats.
Criticism of Methods and Hypocrisy
Bloomberg has been sued for defamation by a Smyrna, Georgia gun dealer represented by former congressman Bob Barr.[1][2]
Indicted, convicted, and scandalized members
A substantial number of member of the coalition have been indicted in recent months, on felony charges. Here in the US, conviction of felony means the immediate loss of both the right to vote and the right to own a gun for the rest of one's life. This is an organization that espouses doing away with "illegal guns", yet a surprising number of their members have made choices in their lives that have set themselves on the path to being disenfranchised from ever owning a gun.
Personal character and integrity are prerequisites for anyone entering public office, to serve in an elected position of "special trust and confidence", such as a mayorship. Abuses of that trust, gross lapses of integrity, and forays into criminal conduct are not tolerated in our society. If anything, elected politicians are held to a higher standard than the general public, and their actions are closely watched. For an elected official to become a criminal, when they themselves are entrusted to protect us from criminals is nearly the most heinous and unforgivable thing imaginable in a democratically-ruled republic. For some of these same individuals to continue to be considered members in good standing of a "crime-fighting" organization–and not even censured by the organization–has been criticized as being hypocritical.
Four current and former members of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition are currently under felony indictments, five others were recently convicted of felonies, one indicted member died of a heart attack before completion of his trial, and one member was recently convicted of a violent misdemeanor. The indicted and convicted members and former members include:
- Former Mayor Gary Becker[3] of Racine, Wisconsin is under five felony indictments for child pornography, attempted child sexual assault and child enticement.[4] He resigned after pleading not guilty and being released on bond.[5] His location is currently being monitored electronically, as he awaits a trial scheduled to begin in October, 2009.[6]
- Former Mayor David Della Donna[7], of Guttenberg, New Jersey was indicted under a Federal extortion and mail fraud charges.[8] He was convicted in 2008[9] and sentenced to four years and three months in federal prison.[10]
- Mayor Sheila Dixon was indicted in 2009 on twelve counts[11], comprising four counts of perjury, two counts of misconduct, three counts of theft, and three counts of fraudulent misappropriations.[12] The felony theft charges stem partly from incidents in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 in which she allegedly misappropriated gift cards intended for the poor and used them for personal purchases.[13][14] Dixon's trial, originally scheduled for September 8, 2009, was postponed to November 9, 2009.[15]
- Mayor Jerramiah Healy was convicted for obstruction of justice in 2007[16] and more recently was implicated in the corruption sweep in New Jersey involving the sale of body parts and money laundering. In all, 44 individuals were indicted. (Healy was named as "JC Official 4" and implicated, but was not indicted, in the probe.)[17][18][19]
- Former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick was indicted, arrested, and convicted. and subsequently jailed for 99 days. Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to two felony obstruction of justice charges stemming from his efforts to cover up an extramarital affair. He also pleaded no contest to charges of assaulting a police officer attempting to serve a subpoena on a Kilpatrick friend in that case.[20] The charges and allegations (not all against Kilpatrick himself) were of marital infidelity, conspiracy, perjury, corruption and murder.[21] Following Kilpatrick's conviction, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms called on Kilpatrick to resign from the Coalition.[22]
- Mayor Larry Langford was investigated in 2007 by the SEC on corruption charges. In 2008 a lawsuit was filed against him for illegally accepting $156,000 in cash and benefits. On December 1, 2008, Larry Langford was arrested by the FBI on a 101 count indictment[23] alleging conspiracy, bribery, fraud, money laundering, and filing false tax returns[24] in connection with a long-running bribery scheme.[25][26][27] His trial date was postponed to October 2009, and the trial venue moved to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.[28]
- Deceased Mayor Frank Melton at the time of his death was under felony indictment on civil rights charges.[29] (He died before a scheduled re-trial, following a mistrial.) In 2006, Melton pled guilty to a firearms charge, stemming from a raid (in which he was armed with a concealed pistol) on a suspected crack house. Melton conducted the extra-official Buford Pusser-style raid without a warrant to "bust up" a duplex apartment, accompanied by a group of youths that were not sworn law enforcement officers. That same event led to Melton's civil rights indictment. In November 2006, he pleaded no contest to three misdemeanor charges: carrying a gun in a park and in a church, and carrying a concealed weapon.[30]
- Mayor Eddie Perez was indicted on bribery, fabricating evidence, and conspiracy to fabricate evidence felony charges.[31] Perez turned himself in to state police, stating that he had a lapse in judgment but did nothing illegal, and vowed that he would not step down as Hartford's mayor.[32] He was arraigned on September 8, 2009.[33] His trial date was postponed to November 2009[34], and then to February, 2010.[35] On September 2, 2009 Perez was again arrested, and additionally charged with first-degree larceny by extortion, stemming from a no-bid parking lot deal, unrelated to the other corruption charges.[36] He again proclaimed that he would stay in office, despite these new felony charges.[37]
- Former Mayor Samuel Rivera, of Passaic, New Jersey was convicted of corruption, influence peddling, and extortion charges.[38][39] In August 2008 he pled guilty,and was sentenced to 21 months in prison.[40]
- In 2008, former Mayor Will Wynn was convicted of Class C misdemeanor, for a choking assault on a man who had crashed a party.[41]
Five current members of the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition have been troubled by scandals that involved firearms:
- As New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg came into office, he inherited a chronic firearms permit favoritism scandal from his predecessors that still remains an unresolved issue. Writing in the New York Sun, attorney David Kopel observed: "The problem is acute in New York City. Celebrities, the ultra-wealthy, and the politically influential get carry permits. But many of the people who need them the most — such as stalking victims, or crime witnesses who have been threatened by the criminal's friends — often do not."[42] There are currently only about 36,169 permits to keep firearms in private homes in New York City, with the majority issued to retired police officers. Of these permit holders, only 2,516 are more liberally licensed for concealed carry outside their homes. The issuance of permits is discretionary in New York City, per Penal Law 400[43]. (It is considered a "may issue" locality, unlike the "shall issue" policy used for concealed carry in most other localities.) Despite "tight" restrictions on "demonstrated need or special danger", a who's-who list of celebrities, billionaires[44], entertainers[45], professional athletes[46], and politicians[47] has somehow managed to get firearms permits. This list includes New York Times publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, publisher Michael Korda, and talk show host Howard Stern.[48] In 2007, The New York Post reported that gun license holders include financier Donald Trump, his son Donald Trump Jr., Queens district attorney Richard A. Brown, Westchester County district attorney, Janet DiFiore, music executive Tommy Mottola, chief executive of Marvel Comics, Isaac Perlmutter, radio show host Don Imus, lawyer Barry Slotnick, lawyer Raoul Felder; publisher Robert Forbes, the cab-driving political activist Fernando Mateo, former new York Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno (recently indicted for fraud), actor Robert De Niro, actor Harvey Keitel, film producer Martin Bregman, cosmetics heir Ronald Lauder, and Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler.[49][50] All of these individuals have retained their gun licenses under Bloomberg's "tough on guns" administration. The New York Post noted: "Television news anchor John Roland, who let his license lapse in 2006, got his gun permit back in 2007."[51] A surprisingly high number of celebrities have concealed carry permits, rather than the more common "keep at home" (premise) permits. According to The New York Times, "Mr. Bloomberg asked Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly to look at the issue, and added: 'If you want a gun permit, you should have to really show that your life is in danger, and that having a gun will protect you, will improve the chances of you surviving.'"[52] But despite Bloomberg's publicly-stated concern, there have been no announcements of any celebrity gun permits being rescinded, or any reforms to prevent favoritism, cronyism, bribes, or other abuse of discretion in license issuance. With a city population of 8.3 million, the 36,169 gun permit holders represent just .043% of the population and the 2,516 concealed carry permit holders represent a scant .003% of the population.
- Mayor Richard M. Daley has been criticized for the city of Chicago's long-standing practice of providing armed bodyguards for a number of city politicians, including city clerk James "Jim" Laski. In the city clerk scandal, Daley was shamed into removing the perk of the armed bodyguards for the clerk. The Chicago Sun-Times reported: "The decision was made almost immediately after Laski became the first elected official to be caught up in the Hired Truck scandal. But Daley insisted that the bribery and extortion charges against Laski were not the trigger. It was the fact that, until this week, Laski had not been showing up for work."[53] Laski was later convicted of taking $48,000 in bribes and received a two year sentence.[54] Former Mayor Eugene Sawyer, City Treasurer Judy Rice and Alderman Edward M. Burke, chairman of the City Council's Finance Committee still have armed bodyguards.[55]
- Mayor Gerald Jennings of Albany, New York was implicated in a scandal regarding the alleged illegal purchase of 52 machine guns.[56] It is unclear whether the weapons were purchased for departmental use or for the use of private individuals. Weapons were delivered to Police Department addresses but apparently paid for with private funds. The Department has not produced a list of weapons, their location, the names of the individuals who purchased them, or their disposition or destruction. At least one later turned up, illegally for sale to the public, in an area gun store. The police officer who sold the gun to the store has testified that he bought it from a Police Union official who was also the Department's armorer.[57] The current Chief of Police is the fifth appointed by Jennings.[58] The case is still open.[59]
- Following the illegal seizure of firearms in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Mayor Ray Nagin settled a lawsuit and had a permanent injunction issued prohibiting Nagin or any New Orleans employee from confiscating any lawfully possessed firearm and ordering the return of hundreds of illegally confiscated firearms. (They had been confiscated at Mayor Nagin's order.).[60] Nagin's administration has also been troubled by reports of improprieties with the police department evidence rooms, where guns were stolen, guns were allowed to rust, and $200,000 in cash was stolen.[61][62]
- Mayor Bill White's administration has been embarrassed by an ongoing scandal involving guns stolen from the Houston Police Department's evidence room. In January 2009, the Houston Chronicle reported: "For months, maybe years, people with criminal backgrounds had access to secure areas of the police station, including a property room from which 30 guns disappeared within six months, according to internal police documents. The documents, obtained by the Houston Chronicle, indicated that lax security created an environment ripe for theft. No one has been charged in the gun thefts, although police suspected telephone repairmen who admitted stealing other items, and a temporary employee who had access to the property room while awaiting trial on aggravated robbery charges."[63][64]
Resignations from the coalition
Announced resignations
Twelve mayors that had been members[65] have withdrawn from the organization, claiming either that they were misled about the group's anti-gun platform, or that they were enrolled in the coalition without their knowledge.[66][67][68] They are:
- Idaho Falls, Idaho Mayor Jared Fuhriman[69]
- Carmel, Indiana Mayor James Brainard
- Rio Rancho, New Mexico Mayor Kevin Jackson[70]
- Anchorage, Alaska Mayor Mark Begich[71]
- Oldmans Township, New Jersey Mayor Harry Moore[72][73][74]
- Walton Hills, Ohio Mayor Marlene Anielski,[75]
- Williamsport, Pennsylvania Mayor Mary B. Wolf[76][77]
- Madeira Beach, Florida Mayor Patricia Shontz[78]
- Knoxville, Tennessee Mayor Bill Haslam[79][80]
- Warsaw, Indiana Mayor Ernest B. Wiggins[81]
- Sioux Falls, South Dakota Mayor Dave Munson[82]
- Houston, Texas Mayor Bill White[83]
In her resignation letter, Mayor Patricia Shontz of Madeira Beach, Florida wrote, "I am withdrawing because I believe the MAIG is attempting to erode all gun ownership, not just illegal guns. Additionally, I have learned that the MAIG may be working on issues which conflict with legal gun ownership." She added, "It appears the MAIG has misrepresented itself to the Mayors of America and its citizens. This is gun control, not crime prevention."[78]
In his resignation letter to Bloomberg, Mayor Harry Moore stated: "It is simply unconscionable that this coalition, under your leadership, would call for a repeal of the Shelby /Tiahrt amendment that helps to safeguard criminal investigations and the lives of law enforcement officers, witnesses and others by restricting access to firearms trace data solely to law enforcement. How anyone, least of all a public official, could be willing to sacrifice such a law enforcement lifeline in order to gain an edge in suing an industry they have political differences with is repugnant to me. The fact that your campaign against this protective language consisted of overheated rhetoric, deception and falsehoods is disturbing."[84]
The resignations of Kevin Jackson and Jared Fuhriman left the state of Idaho completely unrepresented in the organization, and Alaska with just one representative mayor. Since Mayor Rocky Anderson of Salt Lake City left office, it has also left Utah unrepresented. Mayor Kathy Taylor of Tulsa, Oklahoma has announced that she will not seek re-election[85], and as of September, 2009, her name has been removed from the coalition's roster. This also leaves Oklahoma unrepresented. According to the U.S. Conference of Mayors there are 1,201 cities in the US with a population of 30,000 or more that are headed by mayors.[86] Several of the mayors in the Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition represent even smaller towns and cities–particularly in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which are disproportionately represented.
Legislative Initiatives
With the stated goal of reducing the number of straw purchase of guns, the coalition has favored new legislation to require mandatory reporting of lost or stolen guns.[87] As of September, 2009, seven states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island) and the District of Columbia have laws criminalizing failure to report lost and stolen guns to law enforcement. Several other states and local governments are working to pass similar laws.[88] Critics counter that straw purchases are already illegal, and hence mandatory theft and loss reporting laws are redundant.[89]
Former prosecuting attorney C.D. Michel analyzed mandatory reporting laws, using one in Ventura County, California as an example: "Ironically, the ordinance cannot be used against the real bad guys. No law can compel lawbreakers to report themselves. So a straw purchaser who legally buys a gun cannot be compelled to report that he resold it illegally. And since it wasn't actually lost or stolen, he hasn't violated the ordinance. Similarly, if a felon prohibited from possessing a gun illegally possesses one anyway, and it is lost or stolen, he can be prosecuted for having the gun in the first place, but cannot be prosecuted for failing to incriminate himself by reporting the loss. Enforcement of these ordinances places prosecutors in a precarious legal and ethical position. Say a straw-purchaser's gun is recovered at a crime scene and traced back to him. If he lies to police claiming his gun was "stolen" when he really sold it on the black market, will we nonetheless prosecute him for something he did not do (fail to report the "stolen" gun — which wasn't actually stolen) but to which he "confessed"? Ethics and legality aside, securing a misdemeanor conviction for failing to report a theft (that never occurred) likely prohibits prosecuting the straw purchaser for the more serious felony black market sale or for making a false statement to police. Perhaps worse, gun owners who truly are burglary victims must now hesitate to speak with police if their stolen gun is recovered at a crime scene. If the gun owner failed to report the loss at all, or on time, she faces possible criminal prosecution if she cooperates with police investigating the recovered gun. She should remain silent, get a lawyer and seek immunity first. Legal representation may also be appropriate when a gun is first discovered missing. The owner can be prosecuted if the theft is not reported within 48 hours of when the owner "should have known" the gun was missing. Proponents have made clear they believe "responsible" gun owners should know where their gun is at every single moment and "should know" a gun is gone immediately. And the fear of prosecution will encourage those who miss the 48-hour window not to report the loss at all. Effectively, these ordinances place the legitimate gun owner in jeopardy of prosecution for becoming a victim of a crime. In light of these liabilities, gun-rights groups and the criminal-defense bar have begun advising gun owners — who would ordinarily be happy to assist police with their investigation — that they need a lawyer if they are contacted by police."[90]

I wanted to let everyone know about another great eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning option for the home – Poppy's Naturally Clean. I especially like the All Purpose Spray Cleaner, which of course contains only natural ingredients and is 100% toxin free. It's perfect for countertops, appliances and pretty much all of those other commonly cleaned surfaces (minus marble and granite).
It's important to go natural with your cleaning routine so you can not only feel good about the appearance of your home, but more importantly, your own health! Have you done any major spring cleaning lately?

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's lacrosse returns to action on Saturday, March 22 when it hosts Temple at noon at the UMBC Stadium. Live action is available free of charge courtesy of the America East digital network at UMBCRetriever.tv.
The Retrievers and Owls meet for the first time since 1988 and just the third time in program history. Temple defeated UMBC in both meetings in the 1980's.
UMBC (3-4) has won three of its last five games, including last Saturday's 15-2 victory against Mount St. Mary's. The Retrievers exploded for an 11-goal first half against the Mount with senior Kristen Bilney (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) registering her team-best third hat trick of the season and sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) tallying a game-high five points on two goals and three assists.
The Retrievers have four players with seven or more goals on the season, led by Bilney's 10 scores. Junior Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) ranks second on the team with nine and senior Shannon Harkey (Purcellville, Va./Loudon Valley/Florida) and junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) have seven apiece. Wilson has added a team-best eight assists to lead the squad with 15 points. The junior has a point in all but one game on the season and is averaging 2.14 points per game.
UMBC used all three of its goalkeepers in the win against Mount St. Mary's. Red-shirt sophomore Anna Barnett (Midland, Texas/Midland) has seen a team-most 292:18 minutes of action and has made 38 stops on the year.
Temple (3-5) snapped a three-game skid with Wednesday's 9-8 overtime victory against Hofstra. TU trailed by six goals in the opening period, but the Owls scored the final five goals of the contest, including the game-tying and game-winning goals from sophomore Nicole Tiernan. Freshman Carly Demato captured her second straight hat trick, leading the squad with three goals against the Pride.
The Owls have a pair of 10-goal scorers in Tiernan and senior Jaymie Tabor. Tabor leads the squad with 15 goals and 16 points, while Tiernan has chipped in 10 goals and one assist. Red-shirt sophomore Jaqi Kakalecik has seen a majority of the action in net, tallying 38 saves for a .427 save percentage.
