In a disaster situation (natural or man-made) pets are not allowed inside emergency shelters for people. Safety, health and sanitation reasons require animals be housed away from people displaced from their homes. For that reason, animal owners must have a plan in place to care for their pets and/or livestock should a disaster hit at home. Some disasters (like a flood or fire) require evacuation, while others (like a snowstorm) may isolate a site, requiring the people (and their animals) to be self-sustaining for hours or even days before help can arrive.
Think it can't happen to your community?
Consider this: Since 1990, 90 of Indiana's 92 counties had at least one federally declared emergency. That means a disaster situation has been significant enough to overwhelm local resources.
Indiana was the first state in the nation to have a formal, statewide plan to address the needs of animals caught in disaster situations. However, Indiana's SAVE network activates only under a governor-declared disaster. Therefore, individuals must be prepared meet their own needs in the initial hours/days of a situation.
The following guide sheets offer tips for keeping animals safe and prepared, before, during and after a disaster:

Introducing Equatorial Guinea
Malabo © Ipisking
The lush and lovely Equatorial Guinea consists of a mainland territory, Rio Muni, and five island territories within the Gulf of Guinea. Rio Muni, oddly enough, is not the epicentre of the country; it is the largest region but is 60 percent rainforest, constituting a conservation area respected among primate experts for its large variety of gorilla and monkey species. The real buzz of Equatorial Guinea is Bioko Island, which is situated closer to Cameroon than Rio Muni, north of the mainland, and which is home to the capital city, Malabo.
Bioko Island is a beautiful, volcanic isle and Malabo is a dilapidated but charming city with a prevalence of Spanish colonial architecture that belies the fact that you are in an African state. In fact, the official languages of Equatorial Guinea are Spanish and French, a further nod to the former colonists. What does, unfortunately, tip visitors off to the fact that they are in Africa is the level of abject poverty affecting the local population. While Bioko, Corisco and the other islands of Equatorial Guinea have been heavily invested in by oil companies drilling in the water of the gulf, this money has not made its way to the poor. Watchdogs such as Amnesty International have repeatedly denounced Equatorial Guinea as one of the worst human rights offenders in the world, and the dictatorial rule of Obiang has, over the last three decades, been one of the most corrupt and brutal Africa has seen.
So, while the marketplace of Malabo is lively and filled with curiosities and exquisitely wrought tapestry, tourists will have to take care not to be pick-pocketed or mugged while exploring the city. The country is poor but not violent and crime is mostly petty. Equatorial Guinea is a beautiful country and it rewards exploration for those brave enough to set out off the beaten track, but it is not a well-known tourist destination and travel through its rich jungles and islands is not risk-free. Officials make travel difficult by frequently demanding to see papers and expecting bribes, and foreigners have to endure a lot of corruption and rules and regulations which are liable to change often. Tourism infrastructure is almost non-existent and visitors should come prepared to travel rough. Those in search of an adventure will find stunning beaches and pristine rainforest as well as exciting wildlife if they manage to get beyond the bureaucracy.

By The Associated Press
JACKSON — A state judge has convicted an anti-abortion activist of disorderly conduct and trespassing charges for an altercation on a sidewalk adjacent to a Jackson high school in March.
The Clarion-Ledger reports that Hinds County Justice Court Judge Ivory Britton fined Kristina Garza $5,000 and gave her a suspended six-month jail sentence after finding her guilty of the charges Friday.
Britton also issued an arrest warrant for another activist, Brianna Baxter, who failed to appear in court to face the same charges.
Lawyers for Garza and Baxter said their clients were passing out anti-abortion literature on a sidewalk between Murrah High School and a curb where buses picked up students.
The women allegedly ignored orders by campus enforcement officers to move to the other side of the street.

One of the consequences of an ageing population is that there will be increased pressure on an already overloaded public health system.
Advances in technology will add to the pressure as new - but often more costly - procedures become available.
Healthcare costs are 10 times higher in old age than in mid-life. By 2050, one in four people will be aged over 65, compared to one in eight now. Not only will the total spend on health increase dramatically but there will be fewer taxpayers to fund it.
Possible outcomes over the next 20 years could include:
Longer hospital waiting lists.
Reduced government spending on other important areas such as education and social welfare to help fund health care.
Access to medical treatment based on ability to pay.
Increased reliance on private health care.
Unaffordable health insurance premiums.
Research shows good health is one of the main determinants of happiness. Planning for a happy retirement means planning for a healthy retirement. Strategies you can use to plan for good health include:
Maintaining healthy practices throughout your life with regard to fitness, diet and health checks.
Staying active and working beyond the age of 65 (good for your finances as well as your health!).
Setting aside a separate fund of money to be used either to cover the costs of private healthcare or to pay the premiums for health insurance.
Reducing the cost of health insurance by increasing your excess and setting aside funds to cover the excess.
There is no question that paying for healthcare is a major retirement issue now and it will become critical. As medical technology advances, you will want nothing but the best available treatment.
Make sure you can afford it by planning ahead.

When properly applied, here's what you can expect:
Love It!I love this kit! Fun to use, easy to use and two mani's already paid for this entire set. First time, I applied the color thin and it lasted two weeks without any chips or peels. 2nd time I applied color thicker (afraid it would peel) and it's looking pretty darn good. Took everyone's advice on this forum and cured longer than 60 seconds. 90 seconds works great for me. Love the shine. Love the fact that I can wear colors at the office and not worry about the color rubbing off on an important document. Great instructional video! BTW, the color that comes in the kit is one I'd never buy but after trying it on, I've fallen in love with it.Mar 1, 2013Svetlana V.

Absolutely A Money SaverTreated myself to this system for x-mas, just looove it!!! I've given manicures to family members too, system has already paid for itself. It's so easy to use and polish keeps it's shine. Very satisfied with my purchase. Love Folica's customer service and very generous discounts :)Jan 19, 2013Melissa F. / Bx, NY

Hell Yea!I hate to upkeep my nails, I hate spending loads of money because I am a student on a budget. However I like looking nice and put together and this mani pedi set works so great for that. Keeps me in budget, sure it may seem like a whole lot at first, but for the amount of applications it is worth it in the long run. Easy instructions to follow, you can peel of the gel for removal and you'll get a ton of compliments without spending a whole lot. Its a must for all the ladies out there!Oct 16, 2012Jessica P. / Santa Barbara

Wow! Love It!As a new Mom, I do not have the time to sit at a nail salon for a manicure on a weekly basis - let alone once a month! I was hesitant to try this because it seemed like a lot of steps involved in the process. But the instructional DVD was super easy to understand! My nails have never looked so great! They are SUPER SHINY and look fabulous! It's so great that I can do this at home and it will last 2 weeks! Definitely worth the money.Oct 4, 2012Carrie / NJ

Awesome!I agree with another reviewer, this can be time consuming! I did my nails the other night & it literally took me 2 hours from start to finish. Additionally, the first application on my right hand did not last three days. That being said, I really really like this system. My nails still look great since my last application. I honestly believe the more I use it the better I will get. The color in the nail kit is beautiful. I think its the perfect universal choice, as I see it going well with most skin tones.Aug 11, 2012Jdiva

ThrilledI don't love things, but this mani/pedi system is awesome! The more you use it the better you get at applying the products, thus the better your results! I highly suggest watching the dvd & reading the instructional manual they provide. If you follow the directions properly, I honestly can't see anyone not enjoying this product. The only negative (if you can even call it that) is the time investment. It takes me a while to do this. That being said, it always take me a while at the nail salon as well so, that being said, I think this system rocks! :)Aug 9, 2012JdivaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Better Results Every Time You Use It!I will be the first to admit that the first time I used this product the polish did NOT last 1 week without chipping...but after the 4th application...I can say with full confidence THIS IS BETTER THAN GOING TO THE SALON!
1) NO DRILL NEEDED..nail salons love using the electric buffer either to prep before the manicure or take of excess polish...this weakens your nails. Lomasi gel pedicure system allows you to apply and remove gel polish with no damage to your nails (the remover actually moisturizes your nails).
2) Invest in a couple of buffer blocks...because the buffer wears out quickly, and the better u buff your nails the better the product adheres to your nail.
3) Hold your nails under the uv lamp for 2-3 mins rather than the suggested 1 min.
4) 3 coats = a manicure that will last for 2 weeks
5).........The colors are addictive
......Lomasi makes DIY gel nails chic, accessible and affordable!Jul 18, 2012Kate

Uh-mazing!This is the fourth time I've used it, and I continue to be very impressed by the quality of the products and the outcome each time.
Each manicure/pedicure has stayed looking perfect for 2+ weeks, and the only reason I change color is because my nails get too long. No chipping or scuffing at all.
I own three colors now. Sincerity, the taupe that came with the set, Pleasant, a neutral grey-purple that is perfect for work, and Laughter, a glimmery fuchsia which is super fun.
It comes with the five polishes (tip bonder, base coat, color, top coat, rose cuticle oil), file, buffer, orangewood stick, acetone remover, cleanser, DVD instructions, instruction booklet, removal kit and of course, the UV light.
I just cannot say how pleased I am with this system and I will continue to use it and get more colors for years to come.

No More Nail Salons!!I've been using this product for about a month now and I couldn't be happier. I'm a Beauty Expert and always looking for at home products so I can save money. I've read nothing but good reviews on it and really wanted to try it. It did everything it said it was going to do! The only problem I came across is I have to cure it for 2 minutes instead of one. The gel actually lasts for 2 weeks and even then I don't have any chipping. I think you should be able to pick the color of polish you want when ordering the kit though. I use this product with other gel polishes I get from drugstores. Works just the same. I love it and recommend it to everyone that loves the nail salon. This will save you a lot of money!!!Jun 22, 2012Brittany / Baton Rouge, LA

The hard work and dedication of Shoreline Community College Dental Hygiene Instructor and Interim Director Rosie Bellert, RDH, BS, has earned her national recognition. Bellert is one of eight dental hygienists from across the country and Canada to receive a 2011 Sunstar/RDH Award of Distinction which recognizes dental hygienists who make a positive difference in the lives of their patients and students.
Bellert and the seven other recipients who hail from New Jersey, Connecticut, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan and Louisiana were selected for their commitment to education, clinical practice and community service. Bellert's journey is a testament to her commitment to oral hygiene and the education of hygienists.
A proud member of the fifth graduating SCC Dental Hygiene class, Bellert's commitment to oral healthcare education began shortly after she graduated from Shoreline's program in 1974. Although her passion lies with anything and everything about dental hygiene, she feels most passionate about the opportunity for hygienists to perform restorative dentistry, the practice of preparing the mouth for drilling and filling the tooth after drilling by the dentist. Prior to 1971 only dentists could perform the restorative work but a state law passed that year gave hygienists the green light to do it yet few dentists allowed their hygienists to do the work.
"I have always believed allowing dental hygienists to perform restorative work would make the dental team more efficient in the treatment of patients," Bellert said, "and I really wanted to do what I could to support moving toward that practice."
Working with Dr. Gerald Murdock, former instructor in the SCC Dental Hygiene program; Marcia Cotlove, another SCC graduate and another dental assistant via a University of Washington Kellogg grant and an HEW grant, Bellert traveled throughout the state training hygienists and dental assistants the ins-and-outs of restorative practices.
Shortly afterward, Bellert began her 16 year career working in private practice where she was able to continue her work in restorative dentistry. Her experience in both traditional dental hygiene and restorative practices prepared her well for her teaching role at Shoreline which began one day a week in 1975. Bellert then moved to part-time and then to full-time in 1999.
Bellert says she is proud of the college's program, which includes restorative training.
"Our students are really good at this," Bellert said, mentioning that the dentists who work on campus in the restorative clinic often say how talented our students are. Students and Bellert hear from patients all the time at how painless the injections that students give are.
Bellert was also acknowledged by Sunstar/RDH for her work with Smiles Forever, a Seattle-based non-profit organization that started the first dental hygiene school in Bolivia, South America. Students enrolled in the study abroad program, "Oral Health Training in Bolivia: Increasing the Opportunity for Young Women Living in Poverty," train young indigenous women in Cochabamba, Bolivia to become dental hygienists. The Smiles Forever Dental Hygiene School is the first and only dental hygiene training facility and clinic in Bolivia.
"Working with Smiles Forever has opened up a new horizon for me and provided a venue for me to teach what I know to a population where the need is great," Bellert said, going on to say that it is unique in that it gives homeless young women a chance to build a career.
Bellert will leave for Bolivia on August 20, taking eight students, three from Shoreline, two from Yakima, one from Pierce, one from Columbia Basin community colleges. A public health practicing hygienist is also a part of the group. The students will volunteer at the clinic, local shelters and rural villages in addition to training students at the school.
The group will take dental equipment for the Bolivian school donated by the Hartzell Company, Sunstar Gum, Colgate, Proctor and Gamble, 3M Company, the Institute for Oral Health, Young Dental, North Bay BioScience, Patterson Dental, Dentsply International and Ultradent. Individuals also donated $1,270 for the cause.
"The Hartzell Company donated cassettes with instruments so that 10 Bolivian students can have their very own set of tools," she said, "It was an incredibly generous donation. It is going to be really wonderful to see their faces when we give them to the students."
Bellert teaches a full range of courses including Dental Anatomy, Restorative Materials and Procedures and Advanced Pain Control as well as restorative classes. She also teaches restorative skill with the EFDA program at Seattle Central Community College.
Bellert traveled to Chicago last month to receive her award at the RDH convention where the editor of RDH magazine spoke.
"Sunstar and RDH place a very high value on acknowledging the various ways dental hygienists are very distinctive with their contributions to private practice, community outreach, and education," Mark Hartley said.
Bellert and the other awardees will be the cover story in the September 2011 issue.

Reds Fan Since 1971
I'm sure it will all be handled closed door, but after seeing some of what I saw with OJ Mayo in high school if this is more of an entourage thing. Brian Clifton come to mind?
Young kids say stuff, especially in the heat of the moment when you're surrounded by the likes of Jerry Tipton and Alan Cutler in your face right after the game. I wouldn't put too much behind every single word Wall or any of these kids say immediately after the game. This quote from Coach Calipari earlier regarding Wall:
"He comes in like a puppy dog and says, 'Coach I need to talk to you, I am frustrated.' I told him, 'just play and enjoy yourself. When you play bad, its ok to play bad. You act like you cant play bad. Yes you can. He came over and said 'I love you" and hugged me and left."
There is a podcast on Kentucky Sports Radio of an interview between Matt Jones and Michael Porter that I would consider a "Must listen-to". Michael Porter is writing a book about last season and from the sounds of it I will definitely be purchasing it.
Contrasts playing for Tubby vs playing for Billy Clyde and how miserable it was even when winning toward the end of last season. Commented on how his father would always get onto him the hardest during practice (his father was the HS coach in Modesto), yet Gillispie always seemed to demoralize the players.
Nice win tonight. The Cats didn't play their best but still handled Ole Miss with relative ease.
I agree with Dykes that Kentucky has a higher ceiling of any team remaining. Will they reach it?
Bledsoe almost had a triple-double:
8 pts
8 assists
7 TO's
Good win against a solid SEC opponent. In fact, I think Ole Miss might be the best team in the West. Nice to see Patterson be more aggressive last night.
With just four home games remaining this year, I would like to see more from the UK crowds. I know that they will have 20,000+ rabid fans on display at ESPN Gameday on Feb 13. However, those people are not the ones who will be sitting in those seats come game time against Tennessee.
There were 25 pro scouts in attendance for the game last night. UK fans need to realize that this level of talent is not going to be around every season and learn to appreciate that while it lasts.

Very good win. I never felt they were in any danger of losing even when Ole Miss cut it to three. The Rebs are pretty solid. If they had a better inside game they would be top 15 good. Cousins is really getting better and better every game. Dykes may be right in that UK could have the top 2 picks in the NBA draft this year. If Cousins keeps improving and maturing at the current rate I can't see how anyone could pass him up.

For example, this quote from WilyMo. I ahve no doubt that WilyMo is not paraphrashing, because it sounds exactly like something Dykes would say.
Why is it goob-ish? Every team is still "remaining."
Stuff like that annoys the crap out of me, and Dykes is good for 5-6 of those a game.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I do like Nessler and Dykes as well, but I especially enjoy Dykes for sheer comedy, such as last night's "box diagram" he was so proud of that was shown a thousand times, last year's "acceptable turnover zone" in the UK-UT game, Saturday's game where Vandy was "playing with house money", and of course, the most legendary, Jodie Meeks and his VIOLENT CUTS!!!! JD is the man.
Dykes speculated yesterday that Wall and Cousins could be the first two picks in the NBA draft. I honestly believe Cousins has improved his draft stock significantly and if he doesn't have any blowups and can keep his temper in check, he could easily be a top 10 pick. Top 2 though?
Does any UK fans think he has made THAT MUCH of an improvement?
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I just love how Dykes absolutely LOVES UK.... lol I could see how he could be very annoying to opposing fans
Regarding Cousins, I absolutely think he could end up going as high as #2 overall. If you look at the NBA prospects next year, no frontcourt college player--regardless of their class--has the skillset that he possesses at this stage of his development.
Cousins is only 19 years old--but his low post moves and agility remind me of a young Kevin McHale or Hakeem Olajuwon. Unbelievable hands and body control for someone who will most likely be playing around 290lbs in the NBA.
Although he is a consistent scorer down low, he has not settled for easy buckets. Just look at what he has done to improve his free throw shooting since November.

By PATSY STODDARD
The world seems so crazy and mixed up these days, even more so than usual. I support President Bush and the war in Iraq. I don't like war and people dying. I don't like to see people protesting against the war and our president, but I am glad we live in a country where we can protest the things which we don't like or support and we can do so without being shot or hung the next day.
Now that we are fully involved in the conflict I would like to see the people in our country get behind President Bush and support him and the war effort. It's sad to see people dying because a madman will not surrender. How heartless he must be to see his land and military forces destroyed because he is too proud to let it go. It's sad that his Iraqi people are so downtrodden and browbeaten that they cannot reach out to the U.S forces who are trying to liberate them. People who have never experienced freedom do not know what they are missing. They do not understand what the U.S. is trying to bring to their country. A country where they do not have to be afraid...a country where they might experience some of the freedoms that we enjoy in our country.
Do you ever wonder how you came to be born in America where these freedoms are taken for granted? Why were the Iraqis born into the regime they are forced to endure. I am proud to live in a country where there are people willing to risk their lives to help those people be liberated. Our country has long been involved in noble causes. Just look at the amount of foreign aid which we send to other countries. How we have helped the underdog time and again.
It's the popular perception that Americans are hated all over the world. But, I don't really think that is the case. I have talked to many people who have lived in other countries and they all seem to say that the people there want to be like Americans. We have long been considered the greatest country in the world and I believe that is true. We have come a long way in our country, but there is still a long way to go.
I have a son who always likes to watch "Remember the Titans," if you've never seen this show it's one that you should watch. I'm not much of a movie watcher, but this show always makes me cry. It's about a football team and how black and white football players come together to make a team. One lesson from the show is about how they learned that the soul of man knows no color. The people of Iraq have the same souls as we do, they deserve the same advantages that we have known.
It will not be easy and many people will die. The cost of freedom is priceless; there is no way to gauge the worth of a human soul...I know them to be priceless. I know the heavens weep for each loss of life from both sides of the conflict. I hope and pray that Saddam Hussein will end this madness and set his people free.

|In response to Re: PEX vs. PE for water service from meter to house
: Ben:--We use a devise developed and manufactured in Eugene, Oregon to do exactly what you intend to have done. It is made by Grice Industries and the simplicity of its' use is beautiful to behold.
: The installation would require three or four small holes to be made along the path your present water line describes. The old line is cut free at the house in a small hole....from a second hole 75'to 100'distant from the hole at the house a section of the old galvanized line is removed (approx. 24")......a special cable and the Grice head is threaded through the pipe to the second hole....the Grice head has a special adapter at the trailing edge to attatch the new replacement line to. We use a back hoe to pull the cable (a truck can be used as well), as the cable tightens up it causes the old galvanized pipe to break loose and is easily pulled out at the second hole. The adapter head pulls the new line in simutaneously with the exiting old pipe.
: A third hole is made to expose the old galvanized line, a section is cut out as before and the cable is again inserted. The new line (either Copper..Pex..or municipal water supply code plastic tubing is connected once again to the adapter behind the Grice head....again the backhoe is used to pull the head to the next hole. This is repeated until you are at the water meter site with your new water line.
: We use this technique with great savings in time an energy that would be required to hand dig and then restore the planted areas to the original
: condition....Lots of luck (your Cammelias too) Bud

Anyone see it? I loved it.
It reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite in a way...especially the dancing part.
Yeah, it was a pretty good movie despite its weak character build. The random parts definitely made up for it.
Cool beans, dude.
I loved the forest scene, it was exactly like footloose. And the falling scene. And the cool beans scene. And the hwisky scene.
Seriously cool beans.

This comment is in response to Yathish. It is common for people to stop eating or eat very little at times. It is our nature to want to feed and nurture, however, some times it is OK to provide liquids only and let them tell us when they feel like eating again. Spend time together and provide other comforting measures, such as a hand massage or back massage to help her through this time.
My mother is suffering from pancreatic cancer 4 th stage,she is now omitting and she has lost allmost 10 kg weight,she is passed NOT motion for 7 days,can anybody can share what food she should take at this stage
Is there more info on this program..notes..a summary..a place to look?
This comment is to address Nancy's question...the conference will cover all types of pancreatic cancers, including neuroendocrine (islet cell) cancer. We would love it if you can join us for the day.
I really enjoy your blog. It is very helpful. Do you know which cancers of the pancreas the conference will be addressing? I was diagnosed with Stage IV Neuro Endicrine cancer of the pancreas 2 1/2 years ago. Thank you!!
Wish to attend but I live in Egypt , any one would help to give me the data . Thanks for your understanding
Is HIFU and injection of 100% for Pancreatic Cancer the upcoming non-invasive way to treat the cancer? They are doing this in China with good results.. but I have not seen any statistic for this.
Hope you will follow up with a good article in your newsletter. Live in Florida and I don't Twitter.
I am wondering if Obamacare has caused the rationing of several health aspects--including cancer. My Oncologist put me on Afinitor after 28 radiation treatments, 2 cycles of Adriamyacin and Streptozocin and 12 cycles of Sutent.
Yesterday, Novartis said "we have to transfer you to medicare, who said although you qualify--we don't have a foundation to pick up our cost."
To me this is like saying "you can die rather
than try to fight the islet cell cancer for as long as possible.
For those interested in following the pancreatic conference and are not able to attend, I will be live Tweeting with the #livingwithcancer hashtag, @Sherylness1 on Twitter. I will also summarize the conference in a subsequent blog discussion after the event. I will keep you as informed as possible from afar. I realize how difficult it is to want to attend and be far away.
Wish I could be there but live in Canada
That is a fat lot of good when one lives in Australia.

'To get the maireeners we wait for a spring tide and we have to walk into the water up to our waist or knees and pull the maireener shells off (the seaweed). It's the same as the little rice [rye] shells, they live in the dry seaweed. We fill our buckets up with seaweed then we go and wash the seaweed out and these shells fall in the bottom of the bucket. The toothies we have to pick up one at a time too. So it takes a long time to make one of these necklaces.'
(Muriel Maynard, 2002, from Australian Museums and Galleries Online website 'Aboriginal shell necklaces' feature)

By RICHARD SHAW
Emery County Progress publisher
What is probably the most controversial bill that went through the legislature this year was signed by Utah Governor Gary Herbert on Tuesday night, despite a large rally at the capitol building earlier in the day by citizen advocate groups that asked him not to.
The move came after the bill was recalled in unusual fashion from the governor's desk on Monday by both the House and the Senate, and amended to make the law take effect July 1, 2011 instead of immediately upon application of his signature.
"With HB477 now amended, the delayed implementation date allows us to have an open public process with robust, deliberate engagement by the public, the media and lawmakers," said Herbert. "Our goal is open and transparent government. This bill provides a way to find the right balance between the public's right to know and the personal privacy of both constituents and policymakers, while protecting taxpayer dollars."
But detractors of the bill were appalled that he signed it so fast after comments from his office and the legislature the last two days concerning looking at all the stakeholders' points of view before going ahead. Reportedly many legislators had talked to the Governors office on Monday about having their names pulled off the bill. Comments on social networking sites on the Internet ranged from fiery to sad when they heard about the signature being applied to the document.
"I am just numb," stated Joel Campbell, a journalism professor at BYU who worked for years as a reporter at the Deseret News. "I started my FOI career calling out the secrecy of a local city council about 25 years ago in Utah. I watched as we spent two years creating a very good law and have battled incursions almost every year since in the Legislature. At the rally (on Tuesday), the editor who first hired me and now runs a political newsletter said this is largest grassroots movement he has seen spring up in the state in such a short time. He said he doesn't think this could translate into an issue that could unseat the governor. I hope he is wrong. Many are talking a ballot initiative to overturn this."
The rally on Tuesday was filled with signs from citizens who think the law was passed to keep stories like the I-15 $13 million payoff out of the media. Some to the signs said things like "What are you hiding?" and "Jimmer loves GRAMA." Between one and two hundred people showed up, but organizers expect a lot more at a flashlight rally that will be held on Thursday night at the statehouse.
During the rally people spoke about the unfairness of the law, but more worried about the way it was quickly passed and pushed through the legislature. Some legislators were even quoted as saying that they wanted it through fast so that it wouldn't "fester" and passed during a non-election year so the media couldn't use it against them.
The recall of the bill off the governor's desk was one of many unusual things that occurred in the short public history of the legislation. During its 48 hour trip through both houses, it was presented in two very unusual committee meetings, and flew through the legislature in very quick fashion. Christine Watkins, the State Representative from District 69, said that she originally put her name on the bill because she did not understand what it was. She took it off before the vote in the house.
"Yesterday (Monday), the representative who asked me to put my name as a sponsor on the bill told me that he was sorry," Watkins told the Sun Advocate on Tuesday morning in a phone call. "He actually admitted that he had tricked me into putting my name on it."
It was also learned on Tuesday that the concerns that the legislature and local governments had with being inundated by media requests for information were formulated on false pretenses. Since the beginning of the legislative session, up until the bill was introduced, there had only been eight GRAMA requests. Since the bill was filed there have been over 20. In addition, it was learned that over 70 percent of the GRAMA requests filed in the state in the last year came from private citizens or citizen groups, not the media.
The Governor said in his remarks that the state was ready to talk with all stakeholders about their concerns when he signed the bill. When House speaker Becky Lockhart was asked about those coming discussions on FOX 13 news on Monday night, she said the legislature was willing to listen to the stakeholders about the bill. When the reporter asked about the legislature making compromise, she laughed, and didn't answer right away. The reporter told her it was a fair question and put the microphone back up to her. "Well it's the same thing. It's willing to sit down and listen to everybody who is interested in this issue," she said.
Organizations who stand against changing the law or modifying it greatly have talked about everything from civil disobedience to putting together a referendum on the issue. Many of the forces who support the present law and have come literally out of the woodwork over what has transpired in the last week gives those that want to save the present law hope.
"The only silver lining to all of this is the large group of citizens who have been energized online and attended a rally today at the Capitol," said Campbell. "While I felt alone most of the past 25 years in my FOI (Freedom of Information) work, I felt there is truly a large group of citizens who care today."
