The Emery County Business Chamber is planning its March Lunch and Learn meeting. It will be held on March 15 at noon at the Museum of the San Rafael. The featured speaker for this lunch will be Alan Christensen who is an expert on marketing your business on the web and making sure your business has a web presence and email.
Mike McCandless, Emery County Economic Development Director spoke at the previous Lunch and Learn, he gave an update on economic development in Emery County. He has been working with Blue Castle Holdings on the proposed nuclear power plant near Green River. McCandless said the initial challenge came in finding a large tract of land in an appropriate location. The Mancos Hills Industrial Park was already established with 2,400 acres of available land and so it became a natural fit. The point of diversion change for the water is the biggest hurdle the project has and is still being considered by the state division of watr rights. The water would be obtained from Kane County and San Juan County water users and they would lease their water to be used by the nuclear power plant and the water would be diverted from the Green River just south of town. If the point of diversion is approved McCandless said the nuclear power plant could have a 75-80 percent chance of moving forward. If it moves forward it would be approximately 10 years before it would be operational and it would involve 4,000 people during construction and over 1,400 during operation. The plant would be an economic benefit to Green River as well as surrounding counties and cities.
McCandless spoke of the rural fast track grant program. These grants can be used by an established business to expand; the business must be in business for two years and show they are turning a profit. One million dollars has been put into local businesses in rural Utah through the program. The trouble with these grants is they can't be used for a retail business and those businesses tend to need the most help. One question McCandless was asked as they lobbied for money for the Business Expansion and Retention program was if Emery County had a chamber. The legislature knows a strong business chamber is vital to a community. "Chambers are about businesses. If they are driven by businessmen and women then they are successful. We would like to highlight a couple of local businesses we have Cardell Sackett from Heritage Funeral Home and George Hansen from Conductive Composites. I have worked with both these businesses on a number of issues," said McCandless.
Sackett said the Heritage Funeral Home was made possible with the assistance of Mike McCandless and Zion's Bank. "We couldn't have done it without the help of the locals. We tried to contract with local workers and made local purchases in the building of Heritage Home. I am in the 30th year of being a funeral director. I attended school in Phoenix and California. I came here on the request of Greg Fausett. I did funerals in Emery County while working for Fausetts. It's a very rewarding career. How often do we plan for what happens in life? But, how often do we plan for death. We are often caught off guard. If you do a prearrangement, you can write down all your information and pick out a casket and pay for everything and the prices are frozen. Prearranging is a good thing to do for your children. Prearranging is a good thing for something you know is going to happen eventually," said Sackett.
Sackett said they have had two weddings and two Christmas dinners at the facility in addition to funerals. He invited everyone to come and see what Heritage Home has to offer. "It's a comforting place," said Sackett. He also said if you have prearrangements with another funeral home, they can be transferred to Heritage Home.
Hansen's business is Conductive Composites they are located in Heber City and have expanded to Green River and have plans for a facility in Cleveland as well. Hansen said they nickle coat carbon fiber for a number of high tech industries. Hansen demonstrated his product by having someone call his cell phone and it rang. He then placed the telephone within an envelope coated with his product and the telephone wouldn't ring. Once this coating is placed on an object it cannot be penetrated with electromagnetic signals. His products are in demand in the military. Hansen said they like Emery County and the business environment is good for their business. The Department of Defense is very interested in Hansen's products as well as plans for future product lines. The site in Green River is up and running well and they hope to have the site near Cleveland up and running in the near future. Hansen said they take great pride in their products and in developing future technology.
McCandless said Emery County cannot rely on what we've done in the past. We can't always rely on coal. We need to think of things outside of the energy realm. When someone comes to him and wants to build a business from the ground up, he tells them they must be prepared to put everything into that business and making it succeed. If you're not willing to do that, you may not be a true entrepreneur. McCandless said they work to match the resources available with the entrepreneurs. Everybody wins when there is a successful business in the county. It brings in tax dollars. It provides shopping opportunities. McCandless explained the BEAR program and the success it has been for local business.
He explained an event hosted in Carbon County that BEAR was a part of sponsoring. The first year there were 900 people that attended the business expo and this past fall there were 90 businesses and 4.000 people attend. "Everyone benefits from a successful event. One thing we did in BEAR is to visit all the businesses in the two county area. We go to them, because we know they are too busy to come into us. We visit with each business and see what their needs are. We do an outreach. If they have problems or need questions answered then these referrals keep popping up until they are handled. We try not to let anything fall through the cracks. The survey the BEAR workers give is 161 questions and takes one half hour to an hour. We know better what's going on in each business. We have two days to follow up on referrals and we receive reminders until the questions are resolved. BEAR won an award for its work. BEAR is being operated on $38,000 a year. The fast track grants have brought $1,034,000 into our businesses. BEAR is now spreading throughout the state because of our success here. BEAR is part of the tool kit so businesses can survive. We are highly involved to whatever extent the business needs or wants. Sometimes businessmen are good at doing what they do, but not good at the finances. We can step in and get them the help they need. We can help businesses with the Bureau of Land Management and with permitting. We want to help businesses get a leg up and get them going."
Business counseling is also offered. McCandless outlined the film projects which used Emery County as a backdrop. Star Trek, 127 hours, TJ Maxx and others. "The film industry is a nice industry. It's low impact. We are doing a lot of things to promote Emery County including a spot on Delta airlines. We are here to promote you and we play a support role. We want to help people succeed," said McCandless.
Migliori spoke and told what a huge asset Mike is to the county. "He knows what he's doing. No one can keep up with Mike." Migliori works with the Small Business Development Center. They identify businesses that need to grow and help businesses to grow. They compiled numbers for Delynn Fielding at the Carbon County Economic Development office concerning unemployment in the recent recession, the last three to four years the percentage rates for unemployment in Carbon and Emery counties have experienced the lowest increase in Utah. Migliori said the BEAR program has helped stabilize the economy for these two counties. He talked about the shutdowns at the power plants and how local businesses are learning to work with the power plant workers by staying open later and opening earlier. The banks are staying open later to cash checks on payday. "There are a lot of opportunities if you want them. I applaud you the business owners in Emery County for making this a better place to live. I hope opportunities arise so our kids can stay here," said Migliori.
The next Lunch and Learn for the Emery County Business Chamber will be on March 15 at noon at the Museum of the San Rafael. Call the Emery County Progress at 381-2431 to reserve your spot. The luncheon is $12 and will be catered by Kent Wilson at BKs.

History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.

Teachers seek 7-percent solution
February 14, 2014
A breakdown in negotiations over a pay raise between the Douglas County School District and the Douglas County Professional Employees Association representing teachers prompted protests on Tuesday.
Under Nevada law, public employees are not allowed to strike, and must agree to binding arbitration to resolve disputes.
That didn't stop more than 80 school district employees from demonstrating at Tuesday's Douglas County School Board meeting.
Before opening the floor to public comment, Board President Tom Moore acknowledged it has been six years since teachers have received a salary increase and asked that employees not interpret board members' silence on the matter as indifference.
"We're all disappointed that negotiations did not lead to an agreement," he said.
According to teachers speaking at the meeting, they were offered a 2.5-percent raise, but took a 2.125-percent pay cut due an increase in the Public Employee Retirement System, bringing their raise to 3/8ths percent. They are seeking a 7-percent pay increase.
More than two-dozen district employees, residents and even a parent spoke at the meeting.
Justin Thran, who works as a medic at Meneley Elementary, said that when the year began in September, and the children were required to stay indoors due to smoke, he wondered why anyone would be a teacher.
"I've been in the fire and emergency medical services and I've seen some crazy stuff," he said. "But I've never had to deal with 156 kids in the hallways at once."
But, Thran said, one day he was helping a student draw a star.
"At first he said he couldn't do it, but I kept working with him," he said. "When he was able to do it, seeing his face light up made me realize why people become teachers."
Carson Valley Middle School computer teacher Allen Gumm said he didn't feel the school board's designees at negotiations were representing the board's interests.
"I don't believe you want us to suffer," he said. "When some of these cases have gone to arbitration, they've gone our way."
Meneley Elementary School teacher Trich Michitarian said she was a product of Douglas County schools, as was her daughter, Megan, who is also teaching at the school.
"I'm here because my teachers always went above and beyond," she said. "I've done all the work the district has asked of me."
She said much of her preparation for her classes must be done outside of her contracted hours.
"Because when I'm in the classroom, I teach," she said.
Association President Brian Rippet asked board members to take a critical look at their budget.
"We understand the financial position of the district," he said.
He said that in 2012, the district claimed that it had $1.9 million when the tentative budget was approved, but when the fiscal year ended June 30, a month later there was $5.3 million in the budget.
He said the association's analysis of the budget indicated a 10.6 percent increase in the Distributive School Account.
"We're asking that you take a skeptical look at the numbers provided by the district," he said.
According to information provided by the school board, 14 of Nevada's 17 school districts have settled negotiations.
Douglas County has the longest school year in the state with 186 days.
While a first-year teacher here makes $34,957 a year, third only to Storey and Elko counties, the per-day rate puts Douglas at seventh in the state. The county gains some ground for teachers in the middle range coming up to fifth in per-day pay at $45,471, but falls back to 11th for at the top level with $65,425. The 2.5 percent raise proposed by the district would take starting teachers to $35,830 and teachers at the top level to $67,060.
Should an impasse be declared during negotiations, both parties go to binding arbitration

PRICE - Lola LeRee Stuart, age 81, passed away on Oct. 15, 2011. She was born June 30, 1930 to Rulon Albert Robison and Alta Maria Angell in Scipio, Utah. She married Victor E. Stuart on Sept. 19, 1946 in Scipio, Utah. Victor passed away on Feb. 26, 2000. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Monticello LDS Temple.
Lola was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She enjoyed being a member of the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers and was captain for 12 years. She took pleasure in the outdoors and especially enjoyed her day trips with LeRae and "Sadie" where she observed animals in their environment. She liked to garden and loved cooking the "fruits" of her labor for her family and friends. Her favorite time was spent with her family, teasing them with her playful nature.
Lola is survived by her children: Otto Eugene (Michele) Stuart of Salt Lake City, LeRae Stuart of Price, LeRee (Paul F.) Burgess of Blanding, Victor Lawrence (Lisa) Stuart of Helper, and Michael D. (Sharon) Stuart of Miller Creek; 10 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren ages 21 years to 7 days old; brother, Jerald (Loretta) Robison of Salt Lake City; and sister-in-law, Donna Robison of Scipio, and Lola's Yorkie "Sadie".
Preceded in death by her parents; husband, Victor; brother, Keith Robison; and sister, Elizabeth Hopkins.
Funeral Services will be held Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2011 at 11 a.m. at the Price North Stake Center (449 North 100 East - Price, Utah.) A viewing will be held Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2011 from 6 - 8 p.m. at Fausett Mortuary (680 East 100 South - Price, Utah) and on Wednesday, from 9:30 - 10:30 a.m. prior to the service at the church. Interment will be in the Cliffview Cemetery. Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Family and friends may sign the guest book and share memories of Lola at www.fausettmortuary.com.

Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is joining her counterparts in eight other states to support Vermont's appeal of a federal judge's ruling that limited that state's authority over the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant.
During a visit to Springfield Tuesday, Coakley said the original decision failed to acknowledge the legitimacy of vermont's legislative process. The ruling, she says, relied too heavily on arguments that the only consideration at stake was the safety of the plant – which all acknowledge is an issue for federal, not state, regulators.
"States, particularly Vermont, but all states have an interest in some dual regulation around economic issues, around the viability of the plant for providing utility and energy to a particular state, and that for the judge to say it was just a safety related decision, and therefore pre-empt, we believe was incorrect."
Coakley also says the Vermont case could play a role in the future of the Pilgrim Yankee nuclear plant in Plymouth, Massachusetts. Coakley and other officials have called for federal regulators to take a new look at that plant's safety, given lessons from the nuclear accidents following Japan's earthquake last year.
"We still think, and we're not alone in this, that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission moved too quickly, without doing an extensive enough review of the particular safety issues in Plymouth, particularly after that incident in Japan, with the kind of storage and the threat that could arise in Plymouth, and so we're going to continue our court challenges on that. But it is important for the court to make determinations as states do have some say around the licensing of plants that go beyond just safety issues."
In the last year, federal regulators have extended the operating licenses for both Vermont Yankee and Pilgrim Yankee for another 20 years. The fight over Vermont's authority is expected to eventually end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Dixie Carter & Chad at Bound for Glory weekendPhoto by My 1-2-3 Cents
By Chad Smart
@chadsmart & @my123cents on Twitter
Last week TNA President Dixie Carter announced a change in TNA�s schedule for the 2013 pay per view calendar. Instead of doing 12 live monthly shows, TNA was scaling back to 4 live big pay per views and 7 taped themed shows for the year. The live shows are Genesis in January, Lockdown in March, Slammiversary in June and Bound For Glory in October. TNA taped the first two themed shows on January 12. One of the shows was called Joker�s Wild Tag Team Tournament and featured a tournament where wrestlers were paired together by drawing names from a hat. The second show was an X-Division spotlight show. Future shows will include an all Knockouts show, a return of the ECW Hardcore Justice concept (this one I�m really not excited about as I think it�s time to let ECW rest in peace) and a return of the World Cup tournament, which was a staple in TNA�s early days. The taped pay per views will carry a price tag of only $14.99. If I were a cynical, jaded wrestling fan, I�d think someone within TNA finally replaced the 1997 calendar hanging in the office with one for 2013.
On a serious note, with the changes I�ve seen in TNA over the past year, I hope fans will finally let go of their preconceived bias against TNA and give them a new fresh look. A few weeks ago we unveiled the winners of the Centies Awards. We didn�t do a promotion of the year, but if we had, TNA would have been my pick. I have been impressed with their focus on more long-term storytelling as well as starting to let homegrown (or at least non-WWE made) stars shine. Not saying they�re perfect and there is still some room for growth, but compared to the first 9 years of TNA, it seems they�re finally starting to give the fans what they want to see in an alternative to WWE.

I hope the move to only four major pay per views will help strengthen storylines and TNA builds the shows as must see events. I have been saying for at least the last five years there are too many pay per views. With monthly shows, a lot of matches get thrown on at the last minute with no build as a way to fill out the show and there are usually rematches on several shows which, as a fan I hate paying to see the same matches over and over. Even though I applaud the decision to cut back on pay per views, there is one change I hope to see coincide with less shows.
One of my biggest complaints with the current mainstream wrestling product is the same wrestlers are on TV usually going through the same motions week after week. Part of the reason is because when you�re building to a pay per view in 3-4 weeks, the wrestlers facing each other have to be focused in order to try and sell the show. Now that TNA will have 8, 13, and 18 weeks between pay per views; this should give them time to showcase more than the top 10 guys and the latest challengers to the secondary titles.
At the tapings for the Jokers Wild Tag Tournament and X-Division shows, several talents that hadn�t been on TV for months were used. Hopefully this is a sign that we may see some new/old talents appear on Impact in the coming months. One issue I find to be hindering the major wrestling promotions these days is the hierarchy of talent. It seems there are Main Eventers and then everyone else. TNA has the chance now to really establish the stars of tomorrow. Will they utilize this opportunity or will we continue to get the same old same old from week to week?
Chad & the HogansPhoto by My 1-2-3 Cents
TNA isn�t perfect but they have been making strides to be better. Sure I�d like to see the Bully Ray/Brooke Hogan relationship angle quietly fade away and never be mentioned again. That is only one aspect of the company though. There is far more good than bad on a normal episode of Impact. I am curious to see where they go this year and have the feeling if I end up going to Bound For Glory again this year as I am planning, I will walk out of the show feeling it was a better show than Wrestlemania. That�s a big statement, I know. Given the direction WWE and TNA are headed though, I feel I can safely make the statement without having to worry about eating my words. We�ll find out in October.
What do you think of TNA�s decision to cut back on the number of live pay per views? Does the decision make you more likely to check out a pay per view? Share your thoughts on our Facebook page.

Washington, D.C. – Ginnie Mae announced the following statement today from President Ted Tozer:
"Ginnie Mae will continue to perform all functions necessary to ensure that there is not a disruption in the market during the lapse in appropriations. These functions include granting of commitment authority, support for continued issuance of Ginnie Mae-guaranteed Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) (including related PIIT pools) and REMICs, and taking all actions necessary to ensure timely payment of principal and interest to investors."
"In addition, Ginnie Mae has received industry questions about Issuers' ability to pool certain single family loans during the lapse in appropriations. To be clear, single family loans continue to remain eligible for securitization so long as they meet requirements for insurance/guaranty of the insuring/guaranteeing agency when they are pooled and are in the process of being insured or guaranteed. For example, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) requires that lenders obtain conditional commitments from USDA in order to close a Rural Development (RD) single family loan that will be guaranteed by USDA. Where an RD loan has closed consistent with a valid conditional commitment from USDA, the loan may be pooled to back a Ginnie Mae –guaranteed security, notwithstanding that the final issuance of the guarantee may be delayed due to a lapse in appropriation."

Skip to comments.Boehner voices support for emerging House immigration deal
Posted on 03/19/2013 11:42:24 AM PDT by AuntB
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday voiced support for the work of a secretive bipartisan immigration coalition in the House, but he said Republican lawmakers must be educated on the issue before legislation can advance.
A group of eight lawmakers four Republicans and four Democrats has been meeting privately for years to craft a comprehensive immigration overhaul, and they told Boehner and other Republican leaders last week that they were close to a deal.
He also refused, as he has before, to weigh in on the contentious question of a path to citizenship for the illegal immigrants now in the U.S.
The House group has received less attention than its counterpart in the Senate, which announced an agreement on principles for immigration reform in January and is hoping to release a full legislative text in the coming weeks.
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) on Tuesday said the negotiators were very close to a deal, which he said would include a pathway to citizenship.
"I don't want to go into specifics, that's for them to announce," Hoyer added, saying he expected them to share the plan in the near term.[SNIP}

That's all you need to know.
Yeah, with pitchforks, tar and feathers, the only way left.
"Camps will be established in Maryland for the re-education, and will include desensitization courses that help "conservatives" understand that sometimes young children, pregnant ladies and old men need to be shot for their own good," Boehner said calmly.
Agenda 21 must pay well.
I wonder what Boehner's pay off is that he's willing to destroy this country?
We the people completely rejected their Herculean efforts and told them to go to hell.
The only opposition in the house I find to this is this one, and of course the media/house leaders don't want us to know about it.
Bipartisan Group of Lawmakers Introduce Immigration Reform Resolution . Duncan Hunter, Jason Chaffetz (R-UT), Frank Kratovil (D-MD), Glenn Nye (D-VA) and 18 other House members who introduced The BRIDGE Resolution states that Congress:
* Make E-Verify mandatory for all employers and hold employees accountable as well;
* Provide sufficient border infrastructure and manpower to secure and control our borders;
* Reject amnesty or any legal status that grants citizenship to those living in the U.S. in violation of current law.
No problem there, Johnny. You're constantly getting schooled by Obama and the Dems...
We could build a "path to Mexico for the illegal immigrants now in the U.S.", so they could join the line behind those who didn't break our laws already.
Don't forget the rope.
Oh, good lord.
I just wonder who they are polling, even my Mexican and South Africa friends find this offense, it took them years to get here.
Is there any way we can primary this bozo out of office in 2014?
One of the biggest problems is these losers in the GOP "leadership" are in such gerrymandered districts. They couldn't win a competitive race against the Dem/marxist machine for dog catcher.
The "fix" was in the minute the bill was presented.
The only thing the Republicans think of is how they can stay in office and continue to enrich themselves in both money and power. Nothing else matters....not even the Constitution.
To do so, they must go along to get along with both their current voters and potential voters.
Guess what ethnicity they are? Don't think too hard but I will give you a hint: They don't assimilate into our society and they receive a huge portion of welfare.
Now, the timid and weak Republicans are horrified that the illegal Mexicans don't like them and have swarmed into our country like a giant migration of lemmings. The most astounding thing is that they all follow the Democrat carrot and all that the Republicans can do is to hang a giant free taco in front of them and try to get them to forget the carrot.
How about the law? Well, as I said the Republicans don't care. Eisenhower (a Republican) came up with Operation Wetback and sent thousands of them back across the border. Oh well, that was back before Johnson's Great Society.
"Oh well, that was back before Johnsons Great Society."
You will appreciate a 1932 cartoon posted here...scroll down a bit.
That's all you need to know.
Anyone else getting sick and tired of these "bipartisan committees" meeting in secret to come up with crap that nobody wants?
How about we do it the old-fashioned way: committee hearings and witnesses and marking up bills, just so we know where everybody stands.
Hot tar is too good for these traitors.
Just the thought of being a participant in an angry mob surrounding these amnesty-pushing traitors does indeed make me downright salivate.
Duncan Hunter has been standly firmly on the side of the law and conservatism since the 108th House passed HR4437, the best anti-illegal immigration bill ever. THAT would've fixed all the problems.
Too bad Tancredo isn't there to back him this time around.
You'll probably have to wait until the first election featuring newly amnestied illegals. They'll vote the weeping gringo out.
Our tea party group was approached by a group of Christian Conservatives from out of state.
Boehner gets only about 40,000 votes in the primaries and they think he can be primaried with $250,000.
We are in the process of locating and interviewing viable Christian Conservative candidates to run against him.
This group is also targeting Lindsey Graham.
Boehner must be convinced the reconquista won't ever affect Ohio. Got news for ya, Weeper. They want the WHOLE enchilada!
The same here.
How about a pathway to illegal alien status for all the citizens who are sick and tired of being stuck with the bill?
Why? I thought you have to pass things first so you can find out what's in them?
Who speaks for them?
It's not a matter of "if" for Bonehead assuming the "mama" position for progressives, it's just a matter of "when".
Hey, mamma, come over here and bend over....that's it.....
He may as well OK gay marriage, since he's already quite used to it.
The fact that people still identify themselves as Republicans for even vote for them is beyond me.
A sane country would first deport the illegal aliens then the politicians.
"Boehner must be convinced the reconquista wont ever affect Ohio. Got news for ya, Weeper. They want the WHOLE enchilada!"
Recently Oregon...YES, Oregon..800 miles from the border was named one of four sanctuary states...OREGON! Hell, they've GOT the whole enchilada.
"Oregon is one of four official sanctuary states. Despite the documented presence of more than 50 Hispanic, Asian, and Eurasian gangs (most of which migrated there from southern California) involved in everything from drugs to sex trafficking to homicide"
"A sane country would first deport the illegal aliens then the politicians. "
Johnson was meddling even then. When recession raised calls for Mexican braceros working under the wartime program to be sent home (after a seven-year delay, agribusinesses loved the hand-to-mouth wages the braceros would work for), Lyndon Johnson (Senate Democratic leader) interposed and shoved his Size 14 shoe in the door.
Lyndon knew Mexicans, if he could get them into the polling place, would vote straight-ticket Democrat. That's how he got elected to the Senate in the first place in 1948, in his eponymous "landslide".
Pres. Eisenhower beat LBJ's play by issuing an Executive Order, the program being under his authority as an admin program. (DoL, I should think, or Dept. of Agriculture.)
Crybaby Boehner "voices" his support for all things liberal. This isn't anything new.
This is the part were we see how unqualified and incompetent our legislators really are. They will sweep the problem they caused and don't know how to solve "under the rug" by making the illegals into citizens with the stroke of a pen.
Didn't Regan and Bush allow million of illegals to stay here with the promise to seal the borders? Are we doing it again?
I fail to see one single GOP elected person that has a clue to running this country and the democrats are even worse.
Deal making without lots of public hearings on such a huge issue is despicable. These "deals" always involve things they could not get away with after open public discussion.
Negotiating with leftists is insanity, suicide.
Illegal immigration is bad for our country. Period. And republicans are signing the party's death warrant.
Amnesty now and a border security plan to be named later.
I sure hope so. Does he ever get Primaried? What an astounding buffoon.
NO AMNESTY__NONE, nunca, zip. The government let these folks in— now the government needs to get them out of our country. All you do is put about 100 employers in a federal pen and it is over.
I assure you, I will support his ouster.
Add to that no free schooling for their kids and no healthcare or any kind of welfare assistance. If you don't do that they will keep coming because the border will never be secured. Its not going to happen.
I am more than familiar with LBJ and old George Parr for all of that back then happened at Box 13 here in Alice when I was a youth. As a matter of fact, my dad was an assistant DA here back then and was very active on the case.
We lived in the better part of town and one day we were all amazed to see the Texas Rangers come and arrest our neighbor across the street one day. He was the county registrar for Jim Wells County. Mr. Martins....I will never forget the day.
Old LBJ changed the welfare program from rice and beans to top of the line Angus Rib-eye steaks.
Agree completely. You didnt mention that family chain migration which will be a part of any reform despite what is touted will allow half of Mexico to colonize us. All by design in the works for decades. Americans have been played for suckers. My generation and the youth will have to learn the hard way - gonna end up with an American Gulag courtesy of treasonous so called conservatives in politics and media whom I hold in more contempt than the openly anti-American contingent. At this point and for a long while merely controlled opposition.
We are all things to all people. We are diversity. We are open-minded. We are anti-racist. We are no values. We are all values. We are evolution. We deny evil. We are hope change and vision. We are fools and we are finished. Do you doubt? 10 years should help. The length of standard sentence.
We are so close its unbelievable. The tales Solzhenitsyn described in his massive work of the cruelties and absurdities of the 20th Century Soviet state are soon to replay themselves here. Dont be found to be the first to stop clapping or adoring the leader. That story almost me me laugh and cry. Their legislature would have to clap at the end of their messiah speaking and the old would have heart attacks after standing and clapping for 10 minutes; 20 minutes; 30 minutes. No one wanted to be the first to openly stop because they would be noted and they and their families might be rewarded later that evening with a little vacation. If you survive - 10 more how dare you.
Let me guess: It won't be supported by a majority of Republicans, but Boehner will bring it to the floor for a vote, where it will pass with Democrat votes and a handful of Rinos. Is that accurate?
RINO-GOPE coalition
RINO-Dem Coalition
Sounds about right.
Can't we get a majority of Republicans to agree that Boehner has to go? Or would he have Dems vote to keep him where he is with a handful of Rinos, just as he is doing on every other key issue? Pelosi probably likes letting the Republicans do her bidding, it deflects her from the blame.
They re-elected Speaker and it wasn't even close

Good Stuff - Smells HorribleSeems to work fine. No side effects like flaking, itching, etc. However, it smells so bad, I have to wait for my wife to fall asleep before I go to bed.May 5, 2011Chris

Its Not Easy Being Green!I suffer from androgenic alopecia. After using NR-07 continuously for a period of 5 months, while only missing 2 applications, the efficacy of the product appears to be no better and for that matter no worse than Minoxidil. For the cost I would quantify it as a regression of mean of investment. Incidentally, following the prescribed dosage, may lead to an insufficient amount of content in a single bottle to cover a month (1:1); so consider having an extra bottle on hand in case there is a shortfall. As for "Its not easy being green!," the product has an aesthetic as if it were bottled from the swamp water of Dagobah, and will in turn leave a slight greenish tint to the scalp. Unfortunately it did not give me the Jedi power to vanquish my Mace Windu follicle visage... Meditate on this, I must.Dec 8, 2009SamHAIR TYPEFine or Thin Hair

GoodThis is one of the best solutions yet.It is in a liposhereic solution so it only uses 10% alcohol.So no irritation like rogaine or dr.lee's horrible xandrox which has 50 to 80% alcohol. I still think that the spectral DNC is the best solution yet,because all the ingredients are encapulated in nanosomes,And it only uses 0.5% alcohol.Nov 28, 2009Luke / Australia

Comments: I got this for a pond hockey tournament for a little protection from the ruts and cracks of natural ice. It literally saved my rear a few times.No complaints at all.
From: Lew, WI
Comments: I have never worn a girdle before this one and was very reluctant to start wearing one because I like to play with as little protection as possible. These pants are great for just a little protection in the hips and tail bone. They only took me about half a period to get use to before I forgot they were even there.
The only con I have with these is that the cup it comes with is a bit small and rides up a bit. I just replaced it with one that I wore before I bought these and it works just fine.
From: Matt
Comments: Great fit and feel to these shorts. I was basically looking for a little protection for my tailbone and hips, without losing any flexibility. This girdle more than exceeds my expectations... Now just to see if it holds up in the wash.

Skip to comments.Jeb Bush Advises Sen. Ted Cruz to Have a Bit of Self-Restraint
Posted on 10/21/2013 6:28:28 AM PDT by jimbo123
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush sat down with ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl on Sunday for a discussion about the Republican tactics which led to the government shutdown. Bush said that he sympathizes with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) desire to defund the Affordable Care Act, but advised hi m to exercise a bit of self-restraint when it comes to tactics.
Bush began by taking aim at Cruzs tactics. He observed that the GOP actually lost ground with the public over the course of the shutdown and ironically made significantly reforming the ACA that much harder.
Tactically it was a mistake to focus on something that couldnt be achieved, Bush said.
(Excerpt) Read more at mediaite.com ...
There was a time when I thought that I could vote for Jeb. Now? Hell no.
There is little doubt that this is a concerted, meticulously planned effort by the GOPe to destroy Ted Cruz.
I've got a message for Jeb The Bush:
Me too. At one time I thought he did a great job as governor of FL and might be good as a president, but that has gone completely out the window. I've already told all my friends to beware of Jeb. He's just another Romney/McCain republican.
Extremism in pursuit of liberty is no vice.
This coming from the guy who awarded Hillary Clinton the liberty medal.
Jeb Bush: Credibility = ZERO.
They can do nothing to him.
I'm loving it. That's why I voted for him.
It is amazing how McCain, Jeb Bush, and the rest of the RINOs are only criticizing REPUBs these days. Not a word about RAT policies trashing the country and hurting people.
The DemocRATS know who their target is.
Go pound sand Jeb.
Conservatives advise Jeb Bush to keep his advice to himself. We've waited YEARS for someone with backbone to speak up.
Doesn't Jeb know it's over for the Republican party and with amnesty on the horizon will soon join the Whigs in the history books.
Hey Jeb! Just go away, also take Marco and Hillary with her Freedom Medal with you. Perhaps the three of you can rent a room at the Aspen Institute.
In contrast, George P. Bush lauded Cruz's campaign to defund Obamacare. "It's a monstrosity of a law," he said. "In terms of defunding it, that would be one way to reduce and mitigate the impact it's going to have on practicing physicians and hospitals here in Texas," The Dallas News quoted him as saying.
(Need Those T.E.A. Party Votes!
But with Election Day fast approaching, Bush said its probably too late for Republicans to pivot away from the partys conservative base and seize the political high ground on the immigration issue.
I am a pessimist as to the timing right now, said Bush, a co-founder of the Hispanic Republicans of Texas and a fluent Spanish speaker
(Amnesty Supporter / Conservative Basher)
Once again, my nephews (13 and 11 years old) are smarter than Jeb Bush.
What a DOLT.
Jeb "The Collaborator" Bush just confirms again why he is so useless.
Sort of nails it- that's EXACTLY what's wrong with the GOPe- entirely too much restraint in upholding American values, traditions and principles. They have totally lost their way, and are sadly clueless. The GOPe needs to fade away into the graveyard of history.
In other words, whatever we got, it wasn't "self restraint."
I hoping that five years from now, Ted Cruz will no longer be a United States Senator.
Five years from now, I'm hoping Ted Cruz will be the President of the United States of America.
I hope you and your fellow Texans don't mind sharing this fine man with the rest of the country.
They're always wanting to "keep the powder dry" so they can fight the next time. Then, they never do fight.
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
No more Clintons No more Bushes
Mind your manners. After all, you are talking about Bush Part 3, the GOP's 2016 presidential nominee. You know, the one that the GOP establishment will put up to lose to Hillary.
Remarkable, isn't it!
Some people are calling for a third party. I think we already have one.
Democrats. (R)
RINOs and other Detritus. (R) and (D)
The evening after these comments were made by Mr. Bush, Ted Cruz received an 8 minute standing ovation in San Antonio which to my amazement was reported on our evening news. San Antonio is home to the Alamo. Which, incidentally, was the location of a battle that really was "tactically impossible".
Go away Jeb Bush.
"He observed that the GOP actually lost ground with the public over the course of the shutdown and ironically made significantly reforming the ACA that much harder."
Well, what did you do during this time, Jeb? Anything? (besides work in secret to push amnesty and bash members of your own party, that is). Did you go on the Sunday shows and hammer away at Obamacare? Did you scold members of your party (McCain, Peter King) who spent all their time trashing Conservatives, instead of publicly focusing on Obamacare? You're a pompous fraud.
Enough of these lazy Establishment Republicans...
Jeb, you and your GOPe buddies have been showing "a little restraint" for far too long...That's why the country and the republican party are in the sh*tcan now.....
Cruz could really nail Jeb Bush by responding that, "Stop campaigning for president, because conservatives will not support you, no matter what Karl Rove says."
And if Jeb fires back at him, he could say, "Why are your establishment backers so hateful to conservatives that they would back a socialist Democrat instead of a conservative Republican?"
The RINOs are appearing.
Self-restraint? Like Jeb had in the Terri Schiavo murder? Yeah. That's a winning strategy. /s
The leftist progressives fight for what they want while mushy spines like Jeb Bush give in. Sixty+ years of it. American culture has been eroded into something unrecognizable. I don't think Jeb Bush will ever decide something is worth fighting for. Very sad.
Had our founders thought that way we'd still be picking cotton for the King. Poor Jeb, is ANYTHING worth fighting for?
Jeb did you exercise any restraint with Terri Schiavo? You may not remember her; but a lot of folks out here do. Just go away.
Never thought I would agree with Al Sharpton. "Get out the Bushes"!
Cruz------------- statesmanlike. Conservative Republican - Elephants.
Dem------------- criminals - Donkey Jackasses.
RINO------------ pretty much what's left over after the pigs have been slopped - can't think what party logo or animal would be, but it would not be nice. Would probably include a middle finger.
I would advise Jeb Bush to"GROW A PAIR"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with your mom -- ENOUGH BUSHES!
Either get of your snooty @$$ and get into the conservative arena...
.... or shut your pie-hole.
Yeh Jeb you self-restraint yourself from saving Terri Schiavo from the evil clutches of her legalized killers.
To the bold goes the honor-—take a walk back to the Bush compound and stay there RINO.
Who exactly is Jeb Bush?
Now I should add that I voted for him twice - and I still think he did a great job here, but all of that is past.
Now why is anyone paying attention to his opinions on what conservatives need to do?
Unless I've missed something, he is not in the Senate nor the House.
Unless he is going to run for some position in Texas - and I wish him luck if he can unseat a sitting dem - then he needs to pipe down and not alienate any more voters if he actually does have any future politicals aspirations.
I advise Jeb Bush to have a bit of "fight" in him.
Yeah, self-restraint worked so well for your brother, didn't it, Jeb?
Jeb showed self-restraint, when he sat idly by and watched Terri Schiavo being murdered.
True, he ASKED the murderers not to do it. Then he ASKED Congress to ASK some judges to ASK the murderers not to do it.
But when the time came for him to fulfill his duty as governor, and ACT to save Terri's life, he showed self-restraint.
I will never forgive him—because he has never asked to be forgiven.
Tactically it was a mistake to focus on something that couldnt be achieved, Bush said.
Unwillingness to take a stand on basic principles is the primary reason the GOPe is in decline.
The PEOPLE are demanding a stand. The pubbies can't deliver.
The PEOPLE MUST stand and fight, again

A public information meeting was held on the MK Tunnels on Aug. 29 in the Museum of the San Rafael in Castle Dale. The purpose of the meeting was to gather public comment on the proposed project at the MK Tunnels in the San Rafael Swell.
The MK Tunnels are the remnants of cold war testing in the Swell. The tunnels have remained virtually untouched in the 58 years since the blasts creating the tunnels took place. Vandals have added their names to the walls of the tunnels but they remain much the same as they did after the Department of Defense abandoned them in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
The Bureau of Land Management is the managing agency of the land on which the tunnels are located. The BLM contacted DOGMs abandoned mine reclamation department to have them draw up a proposal outlining the safe closure of the MK Tunnels.
The BLM hopes the proposal will make the tunnels safe for the public while still maintaining their historical importance.
Ray Petersen, public lands director for Emery County reported to the Emery County Commission on the discussion at the public hearing. "There were 30-35 people in attendance and there was a good discussion. Gary Reimer from the BLM was in attendance also. The concern from the public seemed to be if the tunnels have been there so long without injury why do anything?" Petersen commented that the tunnels will not be allowed to stay in their present state and action will be taken. The BLM has plans to mitigate what they feel is an unsafe situation.
The proposal states the main tunnel portal will be closed at the entrance. The county has requested a recessed entrance so people can still look into the opening and see the tunnel.
The other two tunnels will be backfilled to the top of the tunnel. The vertical drops will be eliminated. The surface indentations will remain. An intrepretive kiosk could be installed at the site of these tunnels explaining their use and how they came into existence.
Petersen said the proposal called for $5,000 to be set aside for interpretive kiosks and Petersen recommended the county request that more money be alloted for the interpretive kiosks to adequately represent the activities at that area. Petersen said the public lands council recommends the commission endorse the MK Tunnel proposal. He feels personally that if the proposal isn't accepted the BLM might just bulldoze the whole area to eliminate their liability at the sites.
Petersen hopes the BLM will install the interpretive kiosks and also a bathroom to make the area more attractive to visitors to the area.
Jan Petersen, director of the Museum of the San Rafael said they are asked by people all the time about sites they can visit that are just out of town and won't take long. She would hesitate to recommend the MK Tunnel sites to people now in their present state. She would encourage the work to take place to make the site safe and create a tourist spot with interpretive kiosks in place.
The commission determined they would draft a letter of support to the BLM supporting the proposal.
Commissioner Ira Hatch said he feels it is very important to keep the history of the MK Tunnel area as intact as possible as the generation of county residents who were involved in the project and know the location of the sites is being lost due to old age. He wants to keep the history of the area alive.
Petersen said the usage on the Swell increases all the time and more visitors to the MK Tunnel site is to be expected.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud said it was his understanding that the work on the ground at the sites wouldn't start for two years. He also wanted the letter of support for the project to include the increased amount of funds for the interpretive panels and to also request the closing at the big tunnel be placed back as far as it can be safely done to allow people to enter safely and see the tunnel.
Jim Peacock attended the public hearing and said he was involved in the construction of the tunnels. He remembers after the blast they were in cleaning up the rock when an Emery County gullywasher came through and swept one man away and he was drowned.
Mark Mesch from DOGM said no action will be taken with the powder magazine. The vertical openings will be covered with welded rebar grate. The horizontal openings will be a recessed concrete wall. In the main tunnel a steel gate will be installed. The three vertical openings will see welded steel grates placed over them. The fencing in the areas will be replaced as most of it is now gone.
DOGM is hoping to maintain the same character of the area while eliminating the safety hazards. More public meetings will be held in the future and the process is far from over with many steps and issues left to be considered.
It was brought out in the meeting that mostly locals visit the area as tourists aren't aware of its existence. The site hasn't had any maintenance for several years.
Kent Petersen, former county commissioner said, "It would be nice if it could stay the way it is, but nowadays we know for safety issues, it can't."
Peacock said, "I agree about the history of this site, Other sites have been reclaimed and are safe, but still historic sites. I would like to see kiosks there explaining what went on during the cold war.
Those involved at the meeting all agreed that more funds needed to be allocated for the interpretive work at the site.
Mark H. Williams showed slides of the area and explained some of the history.
