Simplifying Window Coverings Care
When it's time to clean your blinds and shades, even your best friend is hard to find. But there are some simple and effective ways to clean blinds and shades with minimal effort.
Aluminum Miniblinds
To vacuum, use the brush dust head attachment and tilt the slats first up, then down (but not entirely exposed) to reach the entire top and bottom surfaces.
To dust, use a soft clean cloth or chemically treated dust cloth and tilt the slats as above.
To wash, use a damp cloth or sponge and mild detergent. Use warm or cold water - NOT hot water. Tilt the slats as above. Protect the floor or sill from excess water. The blind can also be taken down, placed in a bath tub of mild soapy water, then rinsed clean, wiped dry, or allowed to dry completely in the open air.
Wood Blinds
Fabric Pleated Shades

Check out this great interactive infographic, created by Human Genome Sciences (HGS) and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), makers of Benlysta. The two companies have funded and developed a survey conducted by GfK Roper North America to evaluate the daily and long-term impact of lupus on health, family relationships, career and quality of life, and identify potential gaps in communication. The one I've posted below deals primarily with work-related issues. Simply click on the blinking circle in the top right corner of each image, and an oh-so-telling percentage will be revealed. Just another reminder that we're not alone!
HGS and GSK published an infographic about the lupus patient experience, too, which you can view here.

Thanks for sharing this, it is an effective way to present the info. I wonder whether the statistics are similar in the UK and Europe - I'm willing to bet they are.
Benlysta was not approved for use through the NHS in the UK for Lupus patients, with NICE (the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence) stating that there was not enough evidence of the clinical effectiveness of the treatment. Not so NICE then!

Seriously! Not so NICE at all! I recall signing a petition on Facebook , passed around by a friend in Cambridge, pushing for Benlysta to be approved. Not that it's the answer to everything, but it sure would be nice to see it available as an option!
Thanks for commenting!

Is that a dog or a frog?! Check out the tongue on Filly! It's got to be the longest dog tongue ever! I bet touching her tongue to her nose is no problem (I'm kinda jealous – I've always wanted to be able to do that). If I had to come up with a caption for this photo, I think it'd be this:
"Is that the best you've got? You do know that my tongue is a weightlifting superstar, don't you? Tennis ball? Way too easy. Gimme a basketball. This isn't Little League. Gimme something I can work with."

Skip to comments.When it Comes to Hillary, People Have No Sense of Huma
Posted on 01/05/2008 1:12:33 PM PST by george76
Turns out everythingand I mean everythingyouve heard about Hillary is true. I received a stream of emails in reply to my item yesterday about rumors of an affair between Hillary Clinton and her aide, Huma Abedin.
Often email writers make wild allegations but in this case I was provided solid evidence to back up the charges.
For example, Robert Morrow, who describes himself as one of the nations top experts on wild Hillary and wild Bill, told me hed learned from experience that every crazy rumor about the Clintons is true.
For example, Hillarys past lovers include Webb Hubbell (probably the real dad of Chelsea) and Vince Foster (Hillarys lover and emotional husband).
Furthermore, Hillary and Bill are sociopaths, not unlike serial killers such as Ted Bundy. Thus, to put it all together, Hillary is shacking up with Huma. Q.E.D.
But theres more. I was also alerted to a photograph that showed Huma in the background while Clinton spoke with Ellen DeGeneres during a recent trip to New Yorklesbianism by association.
Others unearthed evidence that Humawhose job description according to a profile by the New York Observer is omnipresent traveling assistant is constantly seen with Hillary on the campaign trail. Case closed. Hillary and Huma are an item.
(Excerpt) Read more at harpers.org ...
They actually PAY him to write this dreck?
Too much information.
And Liberace wasn't gay.
"Hillarys past lovers include Webb Hubbell (probably the real dad of Chelsea) and Vince Foster (Hillarys lover and emotional husband)."
If Hillary was a Republican, could you imagine her EVER having a press conference in which she wasn't asked why she doesn't have DNA testing done to squelch the rumor that Bill isn't Chelsea's father? They'd never tire of flogging that story.
I've notice you don't see Huma when Bill is around.
Hillary's the jealous type
And Webb Hubbell isn't Chelsea's dad. And Vince Foster flew to Fort Marcy Park on a flying carpet, which is how he got where he was found without getting any dirt on the bottoms of his shoes. And Ron Brown had that hole through the top of his skull for years. He used it as a candle holder.
Jeez, Huma's bug-eyed, too!
Ewwww, she mated with Webb? I need to erase that image from my brain! I kinda thought she brought a turkey baster to the law office...
The pet is like her master ?
Morph magic. Thanks.
Webb Hubbell isn't Chelsea's dad? Then who is, a girl has to have a daddy, she isn't a test tube baby?!
Which witch is channeling the other?
I was thinking the same thing. That's something I don't want to think about.
I've seen similar gapes on fish...
Infiltration: How Muslim Spies and Subversives have Penetrated Washington
And Liberace wasn't gay.....austin powers never saw that one coming (no pun intended)
and by the way Ken, hillary and huma really ARE an item....
it has been said repeatedly...that only the piaps has had more girlfriends than bj!!!!
As of June 2007, Spike Shooter is sold in Colorado, Iowa, Wyoming, Nevada and California.
Looks to me like they each chugged a few of these.....
George, where did you find that Web to Chels morph?
that's incredible.
Two Democrat candidacies with ominous overtones of Islamic penetration. Hussein Obama- we don't really know much of anything about his Moslem connections in his youth other than they existed and may still exist, and Mrs. Clinton whose closest confidante/advisor is apparently Moslem. Huma is in a position to influence a Mrs. Clinton presidency and to be a conduit of information out of the White House and maybe a jihadist at an appropriate time. If she is, in fact, a lover it is, indeed, very ominous.
I'm guessing that the Huma stories are a cover for Hillarys real lover.
Patti Solis Doyle (born 1965) is an American political operative and currently the campaign manager for the Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, 2008. She is a member of "Hillaryland" and is the first Hispanic woman to manage a presidential campaign.
Ms. Solis Doyle shuns publicity to such an extent that a search on Google for her image is futile, reflecting an aversion to attention that stands apart in the attention-grabbing world of political consultants.
Mrs. Clinton was an obscure first lady of a small state when she met Ms. Solis Doyle, then a recent Northwestern University graduate who had considered becoming an elementary school teacher. Ms. Solis Doyle became Mrs. Clintons chief scheduler in Arkansas and held the same job in the White House.
Clinton associates say that the source of Ms. Solis Doyles power is plain. Patti and Hillary know and trust each other implicitly, said Rahm Emanuel, a representative from Illinois who was Bill Clintons political adviser in the White House.
But Ms. Solis Doyles job is a grueling one, routinely forcing her to work well past midnight, as the late-night e-mail and instant messages that she sends attest. Shes my friend, Ms. Solis Doyle said, offering an explanation for her devotion to Mrs. Clinton. You think I would do this for anybody else?
It seems all of the women close to Hillary have a bad habit of working way past midnight. Wonder what they are working on?
A google image search produced many pictures of Solis Doyle for me. Here's a link to one of them:
Obama is connected to Islam through his father; a complete nobody in the Muslim world. Huma is a major player in modern Islam and so are all her family and friends.
Bubba alleged said that Hillary did more girls than him.
Bubba used much worse language than the above.
Well done.
The back story, as it were, begins 32 years ago in Kalamazoo, Mich., where Ms. Abedin, who declined to participate in this article, lived until the age of 2. Her family then relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived until returning to the States for college. She attended George Washington University.
Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian decent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.
Thanks for the info on Huma. I never knew anything about her except that she is very close to Hillary.
Thank you for the ping and information.
Oh sure you do. Remember those threads about three months ago with long histories about Huma and her relatives? About all the connections they have with hardcore Islamists? Obama has some Muslim DNA. Hillary has a Saudi operative at the heart of her political machine.
You are right, I have them saved somewhere on here. When it is less noisy here I will have to look for them.
Patti Solis Doyle might be Hillary's main interest. How would one really know? Or maybe it is Huma. Or maybe Huma is only for show so that Patti remains undercover. Or maybe Hillary and some guy are active.
No pics, but for your reading digestion: a deflection article, or more?
I don't believe it. She's too dead to even be attracted or attractive to a 'liesbian'. The Rodham-rodent is too dead of soul to even care about sex. Marriage to the sinkEmperor for so long has got to have killed anything even remotely akin to love or lust.
LOL .. it's 2 months old already.
When Web Hubbel has Chelsea's hair, he looks like Bette Midler.
Somebody needs to bug a hotel room. I am sure they could sell it for millions.

Skip to comments.Andrew Sullivan: Kerry: the right choice for conservatives (VOMIT TILL YOU DIE ALERT)
Posted on 07/24/2004 4:32:41 PM PDT by MadIvan
If you are a conservative, whom should you be rooting for in the American elections? I am not being entirely facetious here. The conservative movement in the United States is still firmly behind the re- election of President George W Bush. He uses conservative rhetoric taking the war to the enemy, upholding conservative social values, respecting religious faith, protecting the family and so on.
He is widely regarded as one of the most conservative presidents in recent history rivalling Reagan, eclipsing his own father in right-wing bona fides. And yet if you decouple the notion of being a conservative from being a Republican, nobody can doubt that the Bush administration has been pursuing some highly unconservative policies.
Start with the war. Almost overnight after 9/11 Bush junked decades of American policy in the Middle East, abandoning attempts to manage Arab autocracies for the sake of the oil supply and instead forging a policy of radical democratisation. He invaded two countries and is trying to convert them to modern democracies.
Nothing so liberal has been attempted in a long time. In the 2000 campaign, Bush mocked the idea of nation building as liberal claptrap. Now its the centrepiece of his administration. The fact that anti-American lefties despise the attempt to democratise foreign countries should not disguise the fact that Bush is, in this respect, indisputably a foreign policy liberal. He has shown none of his fathers caution, no interest in old-style realpolitik.
At home Bush has been just as radical. He has junked decades of conservative attempts to restrain government and pushed federal spending to record levels, dismissing the idea that this will have damaging consequences. He has poured money into agricultural subsidies, he famously put tariffs on foreign steel, he has expanded the healthcare programme and increased the role of central government in education.
He has little or no concern for the separation of church and state, funnelling public money to religious charities, and he has appointed some of the most radical jurists to the federal bench. Just try finding a coherent theme in Bush Republicanism. It is in fact one of the most ramshackle distillations of political expediency ever tarted up as an ism.
There has also been, its safe to say, a remarkable recklessness in Bushs approach. Was it really necessary to insist that the Geneva conventions do not apply to detainees in the war on terror?
When so many people warned that the hardest task in Iraq would be what happened after the fall of Baghdad, was it sensible to junk all the carefully written government reports for reconstruction and wing it? Was it wise to brag in the days after the first military victory in Iraq that it was mission accomplished? When the insurgency was growing, was it sensible to apply the methods of Guantanamo Bay to the hundreds of petty criminals and innocents hauled into Abu Ghraib?
At almost every juncture where prudence might have been called for, Bush opted for winging it. This approach can scarcely be called conservative.
So where is conservatism to be found? Maybe you should cast a glance at Boston, where this week the Democratic convention will anoint one John Forbes Kerry, a northeastern patrician who is fast becoming the eastern establishments favourite son.
Yes, Kerrys record on spending, defence and social policy has been liberal. But that is not the theme of his campaign. Kerry says he is as dedicated to seeing through nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan as Bush. But where Bush has scrapped Americas long-standing military doctrine of attacking only when attacked, Kerry prefers the old, strictly defensive doctrine.
Where Bush has clearly placed American national interest above international concerns, Kerry demands that the old alliances even with old Europe need to be strengthened. Kerry insists that he is a fiscal conservative, aiming to reduce the deficit by tax increases. He has argued that stability in some parts of the world should take precedence over democracy or human rights.
He opposes amending the constitution and supports legal abortion, the status quo that Bush wants to reverse. He has spent decades in the Senate building an undistinguished but nuanced record. He is a war veteran who plays up his record of public service. Hes a church-going Catholic who finds discussion of religious faith unseemly in public. In the primaries he was the safe establishment bore compared with radicals such as Howard Dean and the populist charmer John Edwards.
His basic message: lets return to normalcy. The radicalism of the past four years needs tempering. We need to consolidate nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan before any new adventures in, say, Iran. We need to return to the diplomatic obeisance to the United Nations. We should stop referring to a war on terror and return to pre-9/11 notions of terrorism, best dealt with by police work in co-ordination with our democratic allies.
At home we need to restrain the unruly religious right. We must balance the budget again. We need to redress some of the social and economic inequality that has so intensified during these past few years. Kerrys biggest proposal one sure to be modified by Congress is a large increase in the number of people with health insurance. Its far more modest than that proposed by Bill and Hillary Clinton a decade ago.
Does that make Kerry right and Bush wrong? On the most fundamental matter, ie the war, I think Bush has been basically right: right to see the danger posed by Saddam Hussein and the nexus of weapons of mass destruction and Islamist terror; right to realise that the French would never have acquiesced to ridding the world of Saddam; right to endorse the notion of pre-emption in a world of new and grave dangers.
Much of the hard work has now been done. Nobody seriously believes that Bush will start another war. And in some ways Kerry may be better suited to the difficult task of nation building than Bush.
At home Bush has done much to destroy the coherence of a conservative philosophy of American government and he has been almost criminally reckless in his conduct of the war. He and America will never live down the intelligence debacle of the missing WMDs. He and America will be hard put to regain the moral high ground after Abu Ghraib.
The argument that Kerry must make is that he can continue the war but without Bushs polarising recklessness. And at home he must reassure Americans that he is the centrist candidate, controlled neither by the foaming Michael Moore left nor by the vitriolic religious right.
Put all that together and I may not find myself the only conservative moving slowly and reluctantly towards the notion that Kerry may be the right man and the conservative choice for a difficult and perilous time.
Regards, Ivan
Boycott his blog! I stopped visiting his site earlier this year when he started to become anti-Bush over gay marriage issue. He is a well known homosexual with AIDS.
What is interesting is this attacks Bush's foreign policy, something which Sullivan cheered on until only recently.
I stopped reading Princess Andrew a long while ago, when I found out just how much of a perv he truly is.
Yep, it's all about fudge.
I like Sullivan, but even more than Hitchens, I never have ANY certainty that I know how he would think on any particular issue. He ALWAYS surprises me. Not a bad thing. Just means he's an individual.
I like Sullivan, but even more than Hitchens, I never have ANY certainty that I know how he would think on any particular issue. He ALWAYS surprises me. Not a bad thing. Just means he's an individual.
I'm hoping this is mostly tongue-in-cheek.
His title should be
Kerry: the right choice for homosexuals
If the left, homoesexuals, etc. are so passionate about their right to marry, then why not ask it to be put to a national vote? Let the American public decide.
Maybe that wasn't a good phrase to use here..........
Andrew, I hate it that you have become something of a liar. I thought better of you. I don't mind it much when you annoy "conservatives," I annoy them often myself, but I do mind when you just become another contributor to the tangled web, intending to deceive.
Wonder if the old barebacker is dating David Brock?
You see, folks, it is all about gay marriage. When Bush went against gay marriage, Sullivan went against Bush.
There are some valid criticisms of Bush but deciding that the correct response is to support Kerry is like choosing amputation to treat a hangnail.
Yes, Andrew has truly gone over to the dark side.
Come on, Andy. Give your readers at least a little credit. They didn't all have their brains violently sucked out moments before birth. Maybe some of them, but not all.
The spending side is, I believe, a wraparound attempt to put emphasis on a private solution with government aid.
A second GWB term will likely focus on more privatization--welfare programs, social security, et al. Hopefully, an emphasis on fixing the "reform" McLame & Co. foisted upon America, too.
Bush hasn't done everything the way I thought he should, but he is definitely getting my vote. Kerry is not a conservative. No way, no how.
How can liberals say they are concerned about federal spending - with a straight face?
He has become a liar. He has been slowly pushing in this direction for months and months now. He has already said in an Advocate interview that there is no way he can support Bush, yet in no-Gay publications, he pretends as though he is slowly arriving at some decision to support Kerry.
He is certainly entitled to his opinion, but stop the deceptive games.
I think we can do without some of the other comments I am reading here, don't you?
Kerry is the most leftwing candidate to ever win a major party nomination in the United States. He has admitted to committing war crimes. He actively seeks to return the nation to Clinton's failed security polices which led directly to 9/11. He wants to raise taxes. He has promised to increase spending significantly.
Bush has governed as a center-right president. Not as conservative as any of us hoped, but at least as conservative as we expected. He has pulled off two major successes in the war on terror - and so far has prevented any more major attacks against the domestic US. He has cut taxes. He has not cut spending and he has folded on a number of issues to the Left.
Any conservative looking at the two has no real decision to make. Bush is their man. Is he perfect? No. But frankly even beyond the certain damage Kerry would do to the US economy and our precious freedom and soverignty, electing Kerry is the only thing we could do right now to lose the war on terror. A vote for Kerry is a vote to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I am a foe of special interest voting, whether it be immigration, abortion, or, in this case, homosexual rights.
It is my belief that one should vote based on the best interest of the nation. Sullivan shows us that he cares not about national security, nor the economy. He only cares about his personal life.
I am disappointed in him and am sorry to see that I was terribly wrong about his character.
Of course. But many lower middle class males simply have a thing about male homosexuals. They can't help their visceral reaction, and just emote. Sorry to be so blunt, but I call them as I see them.
I, too, feel he is being dishonest. He should start out his article saying he could never vote for Bush because of the marriage amendment. What he does here is exactly what he chides other journalists for doing-being biased about something and not revealing that bias upfront.
I have lost a lot of respect for him. While I have found him thoughful, he became opposed to Bush about marriage and since then has let that color his writings.
He "goes up" the darkside and that's all homos care about...doin' the bone dance with mr. sphincter...all else is nothing to them.
Please, don't cause us to have any mental pictures of this particular fellow's tongue or his cheeks. Yuck.
The queer agenda trumps all else.
I think Andrew is being completely disingenuous. He was way out front, with Chris Hitchens I might add, in his support for the Iraqi war.
God, it's so maddening. We have the attention span of gnats in this world today. It's not been wrapped up neatly in 1 whole YEAR, so throw Bush over, and bring in Kerry, who will promptly turn it over to the vaunted UN. That's rich.
Shame on you Andrew. Do what you want with your personal life, but our whole civilization is at stake here. There are bigger worries in this world than whether gay "marriage" or gay "unions" is the law of the land.
Probably in his lifestyle, it is all about games, not sincerety.
Sullivan and the two Johns are made for each other.
Like Howard Stern, Sullivan is the quintessential non-election year conservative. If people are worried about Sullivan's wobbliness, don't worry, he'll be conservative again Nov. 3rd.
What is interesting is this attacks Bush's foreign policy, something which Sullivan cheered on until only recently.
Agreed! I stopped visiting & removed the bookmark earlier this year. Yeah, he was pretty articulate in defending the war against Iraq last year. But this gay marriage thing has obsessively possessed him. Hes seem to become another nut case for Kerry.
Regarding his being gay, frankly I couldnt care less. Unfortunately, for those people, their condition is an obsession. Obviously, a symptom of their mental illness.
Our former enemies certainly could help Kerry prove his worth in this regard. He certainly helped to overcome an eariler president's "polarising recklessness" and helped the enemy win. He still has a position of honor in our former enemy's society.
Never trust those that like fudgecicles. They are not well in the head.
Cut him a bit of slack. Realize he lives in a gay world full of gay friends who have been harping on him as a conservative. Now Bush comes out against something he and his friends really want: societal acknowledgement that their activities and desires are OK. They see gay marriage as a hurtle to cross to achieve that much desired goal. That a homosexual/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered/transvestite family is just as normal as a heterosexual family. That kids raised in such an enviornment is just as normal as in a heterosexual environment. Another hurtle is all churhes, social institutions (like Scouting) and public institutions recognition that homosexual behavior is a reasonable alternative to homosexual/lesbian/bisexual/transgendered/transvestite behavior.
He has made this an identity issue.
More and more the difference between right and left is begining to be the choice between religious tolerance and anti-christianity. People like Hitchens and Sullivan can agree with Bush on the major issues but because of their distrust and even hatred of Christanity will support the opposition.
I recommend a new butt-plug for Andrew. He's suffering from too much brain-drain.
He's into restraining people, isn't he?
What's really at the root of this gay marriage deal? A truly-conservative solution.
My thought about why this is such an issue...simple: the nanny state, once again, is the root cause.
I think that most of us think/feel:
Even though I think being gay is immoral and don't agree with it, I really don't care what someone does in their bedroom. I don't approve of it, but it isn't my business. However, I don't think that gay people should be getting married, in the traditional sense. That's for a man and a woman.Most gays will call this homophobic. A straight person's statement along that line (or similar) isn't homophobic and it's only slightly ignorant. In fact, the above sentiment is the majority of people's "gut reaction", right, wrong, or indifferent. Most people think that gays are pushing their agenda and, to some degree, they're right.
Anyone can draw up a "contract" that binds two individuals together financially, economically, shared property, etc. Anyone can organize and hold an "elegant" ceremony and a reception afterwards. In fact, many gay people had marriage ceremonies --complete with wedding rings, vows, etc-- well before this issue became so heated. Many gay people have been living together for years (decades in some cases) with no need to get married. When a gay person dies, they can bequeath my belongings to anyone they want.
So, why do gays want to get "married"? Why are gays pushing the gay marriage agenda? Why do they need the marriage certificate, signed by their county, authorized by their state?
Answer: survivor (Social Security and other governmentally-provided) benefits.
If a gay person dies, their partner can't collect social security or any other type of governmental death benefit. WhY? You see, these benefits are not tranferrable.
Interestingly and quite ironically, the solution to this "problem" lies in the extremely conservative notion of privatizing social security. A topic that most gays would line up square against. Not because it couldn't solve the very reason why they "need" to be "married" (it would). Not because, as individuals, gay people couldn't look at the numbers and conclude that they would be much better off with having a private retirement account (they would). Mostly because of the factions that gay people associated themselves with: anti-Bush/anti-conservative special interest groups.
So, in large part, it is a gay person's own political pride that is preventing them from spearheading a program that would completely solve their issues about "survivor benefits".
"Was it really necessary to insist that the Geneva conventions do not apply to detainees in the war on terror?"
This article is so full of misstatements that all cannot be addressed. I just offer this one to show how disconnected Sullivan has become from reality.
Kerry will be bad for national security. In fact, given his voting record, he will be dangerous.
What you are saying is that I should give him understanding because of his peer group.
Nope. Won't do it. I also am aggravated at those who oppose Bush because they are nit-pickers on abortion, or who oppose Bush because he hasn't been a rabid pro-Second Amendment type.
Presidential elections are for choosing who is the best leader for the country. One should look at all issues, and the candidate, and say to oneself, "Who best will lead the nation?"
Sullivan is not doing this. He is saying "Who will grant me my wish?" He fails the test of a serious thinker.
The guy was caught advertising for unsafe sex (i.e., let's spread this stuff around) on the internet. His judgment's not all that great. In fact, it's downright poor.
The human male sexual craving is a very powerful thing. Many an intellectual has succumbed to its power.
He's kidding, right? I'm hardly a Bible-thumper, came late to Christianity, even tinkered with Atheism for a while, and they sure don't scare me at all. If anything, Christians believe more in your freedom than the pagan liberal (communist) Democrats. They just don't believe you have the right to kill for your own convenience someone who's not old enough or strong enough to fight back, i.e. unborn. Think the abortionists wouldn't think twice if a fetus could hold a .45?

Huntington resident Jim Hansen was on the Huntington City Council September agenda to revisit the issue of city pay raises. Hansen feels the city has "outrageous salaries" and that the city has come up with justification for salary increases. Hansen is "disappointed in the way the city is handling the wage structure. He wants the city to run like a business, to use manpower wisely and to not go bankrupt."
Hansen stated that the economy has been in a "major decline" since 2001 and that many have lost their jobs. Hansen said that all of us have lost income and that salaries have been cut in order for us all to keep a job. Hansen thinks it would be better "if we were more like Helper."
The city responded that the budget is balanced, that the budget has shrunk in conjunction with the economy, that the city has not raised taxes and that the city has more reserves than other cities our size. A citizen responded that Helper has just raised taxes 65 percent. Helper also has infrastructure problems and limited water supplies.
Huntington resident Michelle Anderson thought that whoever was responsible for the signs around town to sign them so that people would know who placed them. Anderson read a letter from a local business owner that had removed the signs from his business praising the city and its staff for getting the best bang for their buck.
Anderson praised the upkeep of the rodeo arena and how much the users appreciate the facility. Brent Gordon, who was called Mr. Hilary Gordon on the sign, was appointed by previous mayor Jackie Wilson and does a great job year round in keeping the grounds user friendly. Anderson then commented that the pay for city officials was not huge and that this is not Bell City, Calif. Anderson then closed by asking not to be compared to Helper; our city is growing and looks beautiful. Jodi Richardson addressed the council and stated that she was the one that added Mr. Hilary Gordon to the sign and she meant no malice.
In other business, Dennis and Kaylene Pearson were awarded by the beautification committee the "Most Beautiful yard" prize. Lindsey and JP Kelly were awarded the "Most Improved yard" prize. Gloria Wilson, chairman of the beautification committee, made these awards.
The council changed the ordinance for side and rear setbacks for accessory buildings from eight feet to four feet. The city also approved a resolution to charge for research regarding GRAMA compilation charges.
The city also approved a resolution on fees for rental of the rodeo grounds to for profit users and a resolution for use of the city park pavilion to groups that need power and use of the concession stand.
Mayor Hilary Gordon stated that UDOT would be installing crosswalk striping around the elementary school that will last up to 10 years. It was also reported that the street construction projects were almost done for the year around the city.
Councilman Travis Larsen said the council had been looking at turning the Huntsman Motors building into a fire station. The city had an engineer look at it and the cost would be approximately $400,000 on top of the purchase price. The city is now looking into the cost of a new fire station or remodeling the old station. Jackie Wilson stated that remodeling the old station is just putting a band aid on it. Mayor Gordon said she would really like the citizens input concerning the fire station.
Larsen also mentioned that there are about 20 homes in Huntington that will soon lose either their water connection or their secondary connection due to non-payment of their bills. Those home owners should respond quickly.

Hey AllthingsChristmas'ers! (??) I figured I'd start a thread where we can post our cities and if there is a station playing round the clock Christmas tunes we could let each other know. This will be helpful for anyone traveling or going to a different city. Plus if you have the I heart radio app for a smart phone/tablet you can listen to most of these public radio stations.
As for me Dayton Ohio, Mix 107.7 started with the 24/7 Christmas format last week. I've been enjoying it everytime I'm in the car.

Perfect summer sandals!
"I bought this shoe in pewter and I love it! Not only is it a very comfortable pair of shoes with arch support, but it's also very cute! I've been wearing it with almost all my summer outfits, and it adds the summer feel I want. The only small downside to this shoe is that your feet get sweaty after awhile due to the material used, but otherwise, I have no complaints :)"

Billy Joel puts retirement on hold for New York residency, U.S. tour
In something of a flip on the concept of the glitzy Las Vegas residency that's blossomed in recent years, Billy Joel found himself a regular gig close to his house. His monthly Madison Square Garden residency kicked off this week with a night of singalongs and salty jokes--a perfect combo for his longtime fans.
Joel says that MSG management approached him about the idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he liked it. "So I go, 'Wait a minute, that's nice. That's one place I don't have to schlep to," he told CBS news. "I can commute to it from where I live."
The arrangement gives Joel the venerable arena for one night a month, for as long as he wants. It's a far reach from the Broadway-like schedule that the likes of Celine Dion, Elton John and Shania Twain have worked in Las Vegas, and that's frankly just how Joel would prefer it, after somewhat famously torpedoing a much busier co-headline tour with Elton John in 2010. Following several cancelled shows, Joel announced he's be taking a year off, shutting down the tour and frustrating his co-headliner.
A dust-up of words between the two dragged out in dueling press reports, culminating in the two announcing separately from the stage at the 2013 Songwriters' Hall of Fame inductions that they were once again just fine.
Joel will be 65 this year, and with the MSG offer coming after a few years of college lecture appearances, he decided to dust off the band and wind a tour around the MSG shows.
The resulting itinerary hits most major regions of the country, with a three-night stay at the Hollywood Bowl in May.

Skip to comments.Schwarzenegger vetoes California Dream Act
Posted on 09/30/2006 6:33:12 PM PDT by ruination
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 160 without my signature.
I applaud all young people who work hard, graduate high school and attend college.
Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high school for three years and graduate from a California high school to attend a state college and get a reduced in state tuition rate but not be eligible for public financial aid dollars. California has over 100,000 students here legally who apply annually for financial aid to attend college, and our state has limited funds available for this important purpose.
While I do not believe that undocumented children should be penalized for the acts of their parents, this bill would penalize students here legally by reducing the financial aid they rely on to allow them to go to college and pursue their dreams.
For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Here is background on the bill.
All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray...
"Current law allows undocumented students who have attended a California high school for three years and graduate from a California high school to attend a state college and get a reduced in state tuition rate...
Citizenship should be required for ANY public service paid for by taxpayers. Not satisfied with stealing an basic education for their kids (mostlhy in Spanish at that), illegals now want to steal a college education. Lovely.
Glad Ahhhnold terminated it.
This was the "financial aid to illegal immigrants" bill passed by the CA socialist Leftist Legislature and Arnold VETOED it!!!
I bet Angelides would sign it.
Good one!
Good news!
Let me guess: Angie will claim that he'll use the National Guard to make Arnold change his mind...
From the Legislative Counsel Analysis of SB 1534, Public benefits. (Senators Ortiz and Alarcon)
Federal law, Section 411 of the federal Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA), provides that certain persons are not eligible for defined state and local public benefits unless a state law is enacted subsequent to the effective date of the act, August 22, 1996, that affirmatively provides for that eligibility.From the Senate Floor Analysis
This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to affirm the ability of counties, cities, and hospital districts, at their own discretion, to provide health care and other services to all residents. The bill would authorize any city, county, city and county, or hospital district to provide aid, including health care, to persons who, but for the above-referred to provision of the federal PRWORA, would meet the eligibility requirements for any program of that entity.
PRWORA prohibits states and counties from providing free or discounted nonemergency health care to the undocumented, but authorizes states to provide additional public benefits to this population as follows:
A State may provide that an alien who is not lawfully present in the U.S. is eligible for any State or local public benefit for which such alien would otherwise be ineligible under subsection (a) [which excludes them] of this section only through the enactment of a State law after August 22, 1996 which affirmatively provides for such eligibility.
According to the author, this bill provides the reaffirmation allowed under federal law.
And he'd modify the bill so that ONLY illegals got in-state tuition...
Arnold giveth, and then Arnold taketh away.
Ugh. Thanks for pointing that out. It's a full-time job keeping up on what laws the legislature here is trying to force down our throats, isn't it.
It would be more than a full time job. I just took note of a few that I noticed during the year and decided to check up on their resolution.
100% of the Sierra Club's top priority bills that made it to the Governor's desk were signed.
46% of the Chamber of Commerce "job killer" bills that hit his desk were signed.
The GLBT community also fared very well, despite losing on some highly publicized bills. 7 of 9 of the Equality Californias (EQCA) "sponsored" bills were signed.
The lefties are still winning.
"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
~ Wonderful ~
Ah-nuhld's done good on this one.
Well, you have a choice. With Shwarzenegger, the lefties win most of the time. With Angelides, the lefties will probably win even more of the time. What say you?
A veto of SB 1534 would've been nice but at least it preserves local municipalities to act "at their own discretion" which is a good thing: LOCAL CONTROL.
Are you certain the governator was speaking English? What I heard was:
"I ham returnink Zenate Bill Vun-zixtee wit-hout my zignacher.
Hie haplod hall yung pee-pull hoo verk hart, gratch-hoo-hate high skule hand attent colletch.
Cur-rent law hal-lowz undocumentet sztudents hoo haf attentet ha Cali-Four-Nia high skool four three yearss and grach-you-ate from ha Cali-Four-nia high skool to atten a ztate colletch an get ha ree-deuced "Hin Zdate Too-ichen Rate" bot not bee helijable four public colletch, hand our zdate hass limitet funs ha-vale-ubool four thiss importunt pur-puss.

But hey, the guy's only been here for thirty-something years.
More people better become aware of these illegal expenses. Just this weekend, at a local flea market, a Mexican woman walked by holding a baby and trailed by three little stairsteps. All were chattering in Spanish and when spoken to by the vendors in English just smiled and shrugged--they didn't speak English. I would bet that at least two or maybe all those four children were American citizens--just two parents came here illegally, but produced four Spanish speaking citizen offspring. They don't want to BE American, just be here to enjoy the goodies. Given 1 million ilegals times 4 in about 6 years= 4 million Spanish speaking CITIZENS who can't be shipped back to Mexico.
Mexico has a back-up quasi amnesty plan... Officials there are about to submit to the president-elect a proposal allowing individual U.S. states to negotiate immigration pacts with Mexican regions for the "temporary" visits of Mexicans in the USA (among other perks and favors that seemingly do little for us up here, or for the struggling pro-entrepreneurial reform movement in Mexico).

Entregarán senadores a Calderón propuesta de reforma migratoria
La propuesta elaborada en la pasada Legislatura por el entonces diputado federal del PRI, Roberto Pedraza, contempla una reforma que permita a las entidades federativas de México signar acuerdos regionales con sus homólogos de EU para la contratación de migrantes
El Universal
Ciudad de México
Domingo 1 de octubre de 2006
09:42 Senadores del PRI entregarán al presidente electo, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, una propuesta de reforma migratoria mediante la cual podrían evitarse cientos de muertes de mexicanos y terminar con el tráfico de indocumentados.
La propuesta elaborada en la pasada Legislatura por el entonces diputado federal del Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI), Roberto Pedraza Martínez, contempla una reforma que permita a las entidades federativas de México signar acuerdos regionales con sus homólogos de Estados Unidos para la contratación de migrantes.
Intentamos desde el Senado revivir esta iniciativa denominada Por Una Migración Ordenada entre México y Estados Unidos, mejor conocida como 10-2 y 5-1 la cual se encuentra guardada en el algún escritorio de la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores desde hace tres años, lamentó su autor.
El ahora senador suplente dijo en entrevista que se prevé el consenso de más senadores de todos los partidos para entregar la propuesta al presidente electo e impulsar desde el principio de su administración una verdadera agenda nacional en el tema migratorio.
La propuesta establece que además de los acuerdos regionales o interestatales, se promovería la certificación de los emigrantes mexicanos, para evitar que se les acuse de delincuentes y con ello también acabar con las bandas de polleros.
El sexenio del presidente Fox fue el de las cuentas alegres en materia migratoria y al final terminas con la construcción de un nuevo muro, vigilado por militares, expuso Pedraza Martínez.
Deploró que la iniciativa elaborada por diputados federales y consensuada por toda la Cámara de Diputados en la LIX Legislatura haya sido desechada primero por el titular del Ejecutivo y después por el canciller Luis Ernesto Derbez.
Recordó que la propuesta del Congreso mexicano establecía la certificación de migrantes, la posibilidad de realizar convenios migratorios entre estados de los dos países, un esquema de trabajo temporal y el pago de fianzas que garanticen que los trabajadores mexicanos regresen al país.
Se dilapidaron seis años de la actual administración en reuniones de presidentes de ambos países en sus ranchos, de diálogos de amigos, de impulsar el endurecimiento de las medidas migratorias, pero no en una verdadera reforma en el tema que frene las más de 500 muertes de mexicanos en la frontera común, agregó.
Notice how the Mexican immigration reform proposals do absolutely nothing to erradicate any of the officially sanctioned racism embodied in Mexico's own immigration laws against us gringos? For more details on how much more strict Mexico's immigration laws are against us than ours are against them:
broken clock...
This thread is a year old.
He did however veto this again this year, one of the few things he did right.
Notwithstanding, I'd like to see him out of Sacramento and Government—permanently.
oops! LOL
I was reading another article and was going to post it but after doing a seach, this article came up...time for me to get offline. LOL
To get ya up to date:
Still, Arnold is a liberal. he may have done the right thing this time but he will mae up for it by bending over for the next 5 liberal/communist bills that come accross his desk.
oops! LOL

Budget memo from SCC Senior Executive Team and Strategic Planning & Budget Committee
Gov. Gregoire's proposed budget
Economic & Revenue Forecast Council
State Legislature
SBCTC legislative newsThe question isn't so much what the state Legislature will do, but how they will do it.
That's what Shoreline Community College students, faculty and staff - and everyone else in the state - are waiting to see when the Washington Legislature is gaveled into regular session, Monday, Jan. 9, 2012.
The top priority is clear: Fill in the rest of a $2 billion hole in the state budget identified in September by Gov. Chris Gregoire. Lawmakers already had one crack at it, but only got a quarter of the way there. In November, Gregoire proposed an all-cuts supplemental budget and then called lawmakers to Olympia on Nov. 28, 2011 for a special session.
On Dec. 14, legislators passed a supplemental budget that included a package of financial moves designed to save the state about $500 million. The rest, they said, would come in the regular session.
What they didn't say is how it would come.
As passed, the supplemental budget doesn't include any general decrease to community and technical college budgets. It also preserves funding for the State Need Grant and Work Study programs. The supplemental budget does not contemplate any savings from additional furloughs or changes to employee compensation in the current fiscal year that ends June 30, 2012.
Based on the supplemental budget, Shoreline is not required to make any reductions to its current operating budget for this fiscal year.
However, the special session left approximately $1.5 billion worth of work for the regular session and little beyond the Governor's proposal to indicate just how that work might get done.
"The Legislature could impose cuts for the current year when it returns in January," said Vice President for Administrative Services Daryl Campbell. "We have no indication that they plan to do so, but it is always a possibility."
While Gregoire's plan was largely sidestepped by lawmakers during the special session, it does offer one possible scenario. If adopted, it would reduce funding for Shoreline and the rest of the community and technical colleges, but not until July, 1, 2012. The Governor's proposal would:
The $2 billion target is based on September and November revenue projections that suggest the state will be $1.4 billion – perhaps more - short of budgeted expenses. Gregoire proposed a little more than $2 billion in cuts, leaving the state with about $600 million as a hedge against further economic uncertainties. The next state revenue projection is scheduled on or before Feb. 20, 2012.
While Gregoire presented a balanced, all-cuts budget as required, she also separately proposed a revenue package titled, "Revenue Alternatives for Building a Better Future."
The core of the revenue package is a half-cent increase in the state's portion of the sales tax that would end in 2015. Of the $494 million in projected revenue from the sales-tax increase, Gregoire would use $411 million would buy back the bulk of the cuts she proposed for education. For community and technical colleges, that could include avoiding the 13 percent general reduction and reinstating Work Study.
The sales-tax increase would have to be approved by voters and, if the Legislature passes it, could appear on a ballot perhaps as soon as March.
Gregoire also proposes to raise new revenue from business-tax increases and eliminating tax exemptions. Those increases could be imposed by the Legislature, $59 million-worth with a simple majority vote and another $282 million requiring a two-thirds supermajority approval.
Although not part of Gregoire's proposal or the Legislature's supplemental budget, there are six pages of bills that the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges is monitoring for the possible effects on community and technical colleges. Here are just two:

A 2013 Chaparral High School graduate is running for a Douglas County School District board seat. Nicholas Land, 18, wants to unseat Meghann Silverthorn during the November 2013 election.
So does Ronda Scholting, a public relations consultant and former broadcast journalist who announced her intent in late May. Both Parker residents seek the District G seat.
Land is unaffiliated with a political party. Scholting is a Democrat and Silverthorn a Republican.
Silverthorn plans to seek re-election, making it a three-way race, though Land said he'll consider stepping down if it appears his candidacy could split the vote in favor of the incumbent.
"I do want to be sure we can get Meghann out of office because I don't think she's doing the best for the district right now," Land said.
Land believes his experiences within the school system give him a unique understanding. He served on the Douglas County Student Advisory Group, and was a reporter and business manager for Chaparral's student newspaper.
"I know students who are upset with what the board is doing," Land said. "I feel like there needs to be a student perspective on the board. Overall they are the most affected by the decisions the board makes."
His upbringing also helped lead him to his decision to run.
"I'm an only child, so I had to mature quickly," he said. "I've always talked with adults and always had a grasp of politics."
Land said he supports pay for performance, but believes the controversial evaluation system "was implemented a little too quickly and haphazardly." He said he saw teachers struggling to handle the additional classes most were required to teach under the block schedule introduced last fall at most DCSD high schools.
"I see these teachers trying to do the same amazing job they did before," he said. "I felt the stress the teachers were having. I'm worried the way teachers are being treated right now in the district is slowly affecting the students."
Land sees some of that fallout in the teachers leaving Chaparral. While DCSD currently shows 17 teachers are leaving the school, Land and others say the number is higher.
"The thing that really impacted me and persuaded me to do this was not only the teachers were leaving, but they were teachers who had been here for years who had loved the district and believed so much in what it stood for," he said. "And now they're choosing to leave."
"My business model is very simple: A happy worker is an efficient worker. If teachers aren't worried about their job security, salaries, or how they're going to be judged by the district, if it's a model they agree on and can understand very clearly, they can focus on being the best teacher they can in the classroom."
While a Chaparral High School survey showed 67 percent of student respondents like the schedule, Land's not sure it's best for students.
"Both teachers and students were overwhelmed at times," Land said. "(During off-periods,) I will admit openly I was often not doing homework. I was hanging out with friends."
Land plans to study history at Metropolitan State University this fall, and ultimately work as a high school teacher.

As Virginia transitions to a performance-based regulatory program in onsite sewage, we have assembled the following resources to assist onsite sewage professionals, engineers and the public find the resources they need to evaluate sites for, design, review, install, operate and maintain onsite sewage systems in Virginia. Some of the resources below come from Virginia's regulations and policies for onsite sewage systems, but there are also links to research and other resources which should be useful.
Please contact Danna Revis, Training Coordinator, firstname.lastname@example.com, with comments on this page.
Note on Product Information pages:
Treatment units that provide TL2 or TL3 treatment must be reviewed and approved by VDH.
For other products, it has been VDH's long standing practice to review products at the request of the manufacturer or product representative and list those that clearly meet the specifications of VDH regulations. A GMP or Product Approval, as necessary, is issued to guide designers, reviewers, or installers in using a product properly. VDH has elected to continue this service as resources allow as VDH believes that the pre-approval of standard products is an aide to designers and homeowners and streamlines the approval process. The omission of a particular product or products from the listing which follows should not be interpreted as a statement of unsuitability, since products clearly meeting the specifications of VDH regulations are not subject to further review. Therefore, many suitable products are not specifically listed on these pages as "approved." However, designers may individually assess products (not treatment units) and utilize products not listed as long as they comply with VDH regulations.
VDH does not endorse or recommend any particular treatment unit, product or manufacturer. Furthermore, a VDH Approval does not denote or imply any warrantee or guarantee as to the fitness of the product.

Royals Bats Come Alive in Victory
by Josh Vernier
posted Apr 5 2013 7:23PM
-Royals (2-2) crushed the Phillies in the series opener 13-4.
-Wade Davis made his Royals debut (4 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 2 K, 0 BB). Davis gave up all four runs, and allowed all nine hits in the first three innings. He was throwing a steady diet of fastballs and change-ups, but wasn't hitting his spots. The approach for Philadelphia quickly became to wait on a fastball, and turn on it. He exited after throwing only 76 pitches.
-Davis set the Phillies down in order in the fourth, and then the Royals offense came alive. In the fifth, Chris Getz (3-for-5) hit a one-out single, followed by a pinch-hit single by Miguel Tejada (1-for-1). Tejada hit a ground ball to Phillies SS Jimmy Rollins, who tried to get the force at second, but great hustle by Getz left his attempt fruitless. Rollins made one of those little mistakes that end up being huge in the grand scheme of things.
-Alex Gordon (3-for-6) followed Tejada with a single, loading the bases. After an Alcides Escobar (2-for-5) ground ball went as a force out at home, Eric Hosmer (4-for-5) stepped to the plate and put together his best swing of the season. After showing great patience on a 2-2 count, Hosmer connected on a two-run single, cutting the Phillies lead to 4-2.
-Bruce Chen came in relief in the fifth, and had his best showing since being moved to the bullpen in spring. Chen set the Phillies 3-4-5 hitters down in order, including strikeouts of Rollins and Chase Utley.
-Chen's quick inning kept the Royals bats hot. Mike Moustakas (3-for-5) reached on a single. Lorenzo Cain (1-for-4) reached on a fielder's choice. With one out and a runner on first, Getz delivered again with a double to right. Ned Yost turned to his bench with runners on second and third with one out, and called on Billy Butler to pinch hit. With first base open, the Phillies decided to intentionally walk Butler, loading the bases for Gordon. Yost showed faith in Gordon, and he delivered. The gold-glove left fielder hit and bases-clearing triple, putting KC up 5-4.
-J.C. Gutierrez came in, in the sixth, and set Phili down in order, with one strikeout.
-In the seventh, the Royals offense put four runs on the board. Hosmer walked, Salvador Perez (1-for-5) singled, and then Moose singled, once again loading the bases. Cain came through with a sacrifice fly to right. Jeff Francoeur (1-for-4) followed Cain's sac fly with a walk, loading the bases for the third time in the game. Chris Getz showed outstanding bat control, fighting one off to left field for a bases-clearing triple. The Royals led 9-4.
-The bullpen's domination continued after Tim Collins threw two innings of no-hit stuff. He walked one, but struck out three in two key innings.
-Two more Royals runs crossed the plate in the eighth. Escobar connected on his first home run of the season, and it was also the team's first homer of 2013. Hosmer followed with a single, and then following a Perez fly out, Moose hit a double that put runners on second and third with one out. Cain came through with an RBI single to left, and the Royals led 11-4.
-In the ninth, the offense tacked on two more. Gordon got it started with a two-out single to center. Escobar drove him in with a double to left. Hosmer capped off his memorable day with an RBI double to center.
-Luke Hochevar threw a 1-2-3 ninth inning to secure the win.
-In total, the bullpen threw five innings of no-hit ball, allowing only one walk and striking out six. The Royals pitching staff didn't allow a hit after the third inning.
-To recap the RBI - Gordon 3 RBI - Escobar 2 RBI - Hosmer 3 RBI - Cain 2 RBI - Getz 3 RBI.

Children and their families are invited to join the fall festivities at the Women in Business Pumpkin Festival presented by Convergys Saturday, September 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Cedar City Main Street Park. A five dollar entry fee per child gets children access to all of the day's events plus a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch sponsored by Ken Robinson's Pumpkin Patch. Activity booths are sponsored by local businesses and organizations and include a Home Depot craft, fish pond, cupcake walk, pumpkin bowling, pumpkin putt putt, bounce houses, face painting and more.
This year's event will bring many of last year's favorite activity booths to the event, as well as some new exciting additions such as a climbing wall and bounce houses. In addition ,food will be available for an affordable price for families who want to spend the day at the event. This year Brody's Mexican Restaurant will be selling street tacos at the event and the Chamber of Commerce will be selling hot dogs.
Funds raised from the event are used to award scholarships to women in Iron County who plan on attending an accredited college or university in Iron County. Last year, Women in Business awarded eight scholarships from funds raised through the Pumpkin Festival and the Women in Business Expo that is held in February.
This year Women in Business is asking families to bring a non-perishable food item to the check in booth at the Pumpkin Festival to donate to the Southern Utah University Hope Pantry. It is not mandatory for entry, but the WIB organization wants to support this food pantry that helps feed financially strapped college students. The food drive for "starving students" reflects the organization's commitment to encouraging continuing education in our community.
"We are so grateful for all of the businesses and organizations that have stepped forward to donate to this event and cause this year, whether they are donating money, time, a booth or volunteers," said 2013 Women in Business President, Rachelle Hughes. "Our presenting sponsor Convergys, has thrown an enormous amount of support into the event from both a donation in money to a donation in time and materials." The festival's gold sponsors were also some of the first businesses to support this year's event. Southwest Applied Technology College, SUU Public Relations Department, Cherry Creek Radio, Robinson's Pumpkin Patch, and Rocky Mountain Power.

Democrats watching court on net neutrality rules
If the court throws out net neutrality regulations, House Democrats might counter with new legislation, Rep. Mike Doyle said Thursday.
"I know that Anna Eshoo in our committee has expressed some interest in maybe developing legislation" Doyle (D-Pa.) said at a POLITICO Pro's P2012 Policy and Politics Technology Luncheon.Continue Reading
But Doyle hopes that the rules survive a legal challenge by Verizon. A ruling on the case is expected sometime in 2013.
"I hope the FCC doesn't lose," Doyle said. He added that there should be some regulation of broadband but "I don't think it should be a heavy hand; I think it should be a light touch."
This article first appeared on POLITICO Pro at 12:47 p.m. on December 13, 2012.

Tuesday 2 December 2008: The Virgin Blue Group of Airlines has welcomed the Federal Government's effort to seek a balance between necessary on-going economic reform; the national interest and the aviation sector's role in achieving that; and the primacy of aviation safety and security as outlined in its Aviation Green Paper released today by the Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, The Hon. Anthony Albanese.
"We believe this is a responsible approach by the Government as it works towards developing a comprehensive long-term plan for Australia's aviation industry and, of course, we are particularly pleased that the Government has reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the national interest by recognising that Australian airlines compete in an international aviation environment where not all countries are subject to the same rules", Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said.
Brett Godfrey continued, "For the Government to openly and frankly acknowledge Australian airlines are often required to operate on a playing field heavily slanted by foreign government ownership, subsidies and other forms of industry assistance is reassuring, as Australian airlines have long presented this view."
"Our new international airline V Australia, will deliver to international long-haul air travellers what Virgin Blue did for domestic air travellers when we launched eight years ago – true and sustainable competition and value-for-money, while not compromising safety or product quality."
The Virgin Blue Group also applauds the Government's focus on maintaining the highest possible safety and security standards for our industry – also our highest priority.
We wholeheartedly support efforts to improve the coordination, consultation and oversight of planning and development of Australia's future airport, aviation and flight operations. In particular a solution is well overdue to remedy the on again off again national aviation bottleneck now occurring at Sydney.
The Green Paper also acknowledges the importance of a national industry consciousness regarding the impact of aviation on climate change. Virgin Blue also supports a balanced approach to this responsibility. Our company is pursuing a range of environmental management initiatives and has been active in the push to improve air traffic management as a means to lowering carbon emissions.
"On the face of it, this is a comprehensive review and the Government is to be congratulated on the level of detail and subjective analysis of what are very complex issues. We look forward to working with the Government in the lead up to the finalisation of the White Paper," Mr Godfrey said.

The Salk vaccine is made by cultivating three strains of the virus separately in monkey tissue. The virus is separated from the tissue, stored for a week, and killed with formaldehyde; tests are then made to make certain that it is dead. A series of three or four injections with the killed virus vaccine is required to confer immunity.

New GlassFish Integration Feature: XML Multiview editor for deployment descriptor editing
By vbkraemer on Jul 24, 2007
In my New GlassFish Integration Features screencast, I touched on this, but it went by very quickly.
In earlier releases of NetBeans, the vendor specific deployment descriptor was "managed" by leveraging JSR-88. Some of this management spilled into the editing experience for these descriptors. It was significantly different than the editing experience for the "standard descriptor".
Here is a screen shot of the XML multi-view descriptor editor for the ejb-jar.jar file.
The editor for the associated sun-ejb-jar.xml was radically different.
In the NetBeans 6.0 release, we finally bit the bullet and threw out most of the "management" aspects of JSR-88. This has allowed us to create an editing experience for the sun-ejb-jar.xml file that is similar to the experience for the standard, ejb-jar.xml editor.
This screen shot is from the same project as the previous image, but shows the editor from NetBeans 6.0.
Follow this link to a search for all of my entries about new GlassFish integration features for NetBeans 6.0.

On October 1, 2012, Google Apps will no longer have the ability to export Google Docs format files in Office 1997-2003 formats. The announcement doesn't specify it, but apparently users will still be able to export Google Docs format files to Microsoft Office formats associated with Office 2007, 2010, and 2013.
Is this a significant development?
I am not sure how significant this will be to businesses. I am sure there are still a substantial number of businesses using Office 2003, but I am uncertain how many spend a great deal of time moving documents from Google Apps to Office and then back again.
I can see this being a minor annoyance requiring some changes in procedures for some, but I cannot see how this could be a major problem for most businesses. But then again, I have been wrong more than once today, so perhaps we should ask TechRepublic members what they think.

Blue Eyecolor
Description: Medium blue
Texture: Shimmer
Size: Small
Blue is the epitome of cool and let it spruce up your style in waves of luscious color. Choose soft and subtle or bold and bright. Each graceful shade will enliven your eyes with cool refreshment.
Size: Small (0.57 g / 0.02 Oz.)
Texture Guide
Matte: Our most opaque eyeshadow. Incredibly creamy color with a rich, velvety finish.
Sheen: Satiny soft and sheer with a touch of glow. Wear it dry for whisper effects, or wet for a more opaque sheen.
Shimmer: High intensity shimmer. Can be softer and more translucent when worn dry, but creates an opaque wash of high sheen-known as foiling-when worn wet.
- Vibrant, long-lasting colors can be mixed and matched for custom combinations
- Offer your choice of textures, from sheer to opaque
- All-natural consistency makes them easy to apply and blend seamlessly
- Add rich, eye-illuminating accents
- Use a 100% pure blend of natural minerals
- Preservative-free to prevent eye irritation
- Won't pull or tug at the sensitive skin around your eyes
Double your options.
You can use most of our Eyecolors wet or dry for different looks. Dampening the brush provides a more striking, opaque application, while using it dry creates a softer look.
Looking for something softly sophisticated?
Try using two eye shadows in the same shade family. Starting from the inner eye, apply the lighter shade halfway across, using an eye brush such as our Heavenly Shadow Brush. Then complete the outer portion of the lid with the darker shade.
Mica (CI 77019), Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxide (CI 77491), Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide (CI 77510)

Formal Recruitment
Informal Recruitment
Informal recruitment takes place anytime school is in session and Formal Recruitment is not taking place. In the fall, informal recruitment is open to any sophomore, junior, or senior.

Welcome to the Willamette University Panhellenic Council Website!
Panhellenic Council is the governing body for the four sororities and is composed of delegates selected by each chapter. The Council is led by six executive officers who plan and implement programs that benefit the Greek Community and the campus as a whole.
Sorority life at Willamette offers women the ability to grow in scholarship, service, sisterhood and friendship, leadership, and socially.
Scholastic achievement is an emphasis in every chapter where women are required to achieve a certain grade point average. Each chapter offers scholarships, national honor societies, study programs and scholastic recognition events.
Community service is one of the key values that each sorority was founded upon and in which all Willamette chapters participate. Each chapter supports a local charitable organization through service and financial contributions. These philanthropic efforts benefit worthy causes as well as provide members with the opportunity to make a difference in their community.
Sisterhood and friendship grows from women of different backgrounds, goals, and perspectives coming together. These women come together in the common bond of their chapter to develop deep and lasting friendships. Sororities form a community of women who support each other throughout the college years and beyond.
Leadership opportunities exist within the Greek community, with each chapter led by elected officers and supported by the governing body of Panhellenic Council. Sorority women are also familiar faces in leadership roles in many campus organizations as well.
Social programming and activities are offered for members and sometimes non-members. Organized social events include formal dances, theme functions, parent's weekends, chapter dinners and retreats. At Willamette, each chapter maintains a responsible party policy monitored by Willamette University and their respective national headquarters.

Look better in the picture than in person!
"I ordered the blue pair since it was on sale for a great price. I didn't realize they were suede. I was extremely disappointed. They felt like socks or some sort of slippers to wear at home. I definitely wouldn't wear them outside for the fear of tearing them.. and that's why I returned them asap."
