Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
proc lister

proc killer
usage: p patt [signal]
uses only ps, grep, sed, printf and kill

Improvement on Coderjoe's Solution. Gets rid of grep and cut (and implements them in awk) and specifies some different mplayer options that speed things up a bit.
This one line Perl script will display the smallest to the largest files sizes in all directories on a server.
Here's my version. It's a bit lengthy but I prefer it since it's all Bash.
You can use ordinary printf to convert "%23%21%2fbin%2fbash" into "#!/bin/bash" with no external utilities, by using a little known printf feature -- the "%b" specifier converts shell escapes. Replace % with \x and printf will understand the urlencoded string.
BASH's printf has an extension to set a variable directly, too. So you get to convert urlencoded strings from garble to plaintext in one step with no externals and no backticks.
List the full path of some files.
You can add ".*" on the end if you want to display hidden files.
Better awk example, using only mplayer, grep, cut, and awk.
Parses /etc/group to "dot" format and pases it to "display" (imagemagick) to show a usefull diagram of users and groups (don't show empty groups).
Converts a number of bytes provided as input, to a human readable number.
Converts IP octets to hex using printf command. Useful for generating pxeboot aliases in the pxelinux.cfg folder.
poorman's ifstat using just sh and awk. You must change "eth0" with your interface's name.
when you can do it , avoid pipe
I find it useful when I want to add another crontab entry and I need to specify the appropriate PATH.
I give ''whichpath'' a list of programs that I use inside my script and it gives me the PATH I need to use for this script.
''whichpath'' uses associative array, therefore you should have Bash v4 in order to run it.
See sample output.
WIDTHL=10 and WIDTHR=60 are setting the widths of the left and the right column/bar. BAR="12345678" etc. is used to create a 80 char long string of "="s. I didn't know any shorter way.
If you want to pipe results into it, wrap the whole thing in ( ... )
I know that printing bar graphs can be done rather easily by other means. Here, I was looking for a Bash only variant.
Check the API. You shouldn't need sed. The print-newline at the end is to prevent zsh from inserting a % after the end-of-output.
Also works with http://v.gd
Calc the rough time from Twitter. Now with leading Zeroes.
usage: mem memcache-command [arguments]
where memcache-command might be:
exptime argument is set to 0 (no expire)
flags argument is set to 1 (arbitrary)
also works in vim
Among other things, this allows the sorting of comment descriptions and command lines retrieved as text from CommandLineFu.com.

Author Reading: Augusta Scatterwood and Glory Be
Join author Augusta Scatterwood as she reads from her new middle-grade novel about a Mississippi town in 1964 that gets riled out when tempers flare about the segregated public pool.
Thursday, March 8th at 4pm
Lemuria Books
Jackson, MS 39206
(601) 366-7619
About the book:
As much as Gloriana June Hemphill, or Glory as everyone knows her, wants to turn twelve, there are times when Glory wishes she could turn back the clock a year. Jesslyn, her sister and former confidante, no longer has the time of day for her now that she'll be entering high school. Then there's her best friend, Frankie. Things have always been so easy with Frankie, and now suddenly they aren't. Maybe it's the new girl from the North that's got everyone out of sorts. Or maybe it's the debate about whether or not the town should keep the segregated public pool open.
Inspired by Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Kate DiCamillo's Because of Winn Dixie, author Augusta Scattergood has drawn on real-life events to create a memorable novel about family, friendship, and choices that aren't always easy.

Great twist on the normal espadrille!
"These shoes are very comfy and I love the eyelet pattern that makes it different. It was a bit tight across the top of my foot on first wear, but I used moleskin for protection and the material stretched out easily. Great staple for either jeans or sundresses!"

The hair was totally superb David & Stewy I am seriously impressed, you are completely blowing me away you guys they all looked phenominal!
We did the big reveal, pealing back the layers to uncover the gorgeous bouquet nestled in mounds of white tissue. We did the bouquet holding lesson, shoulders back chest out , the bouquet needed to be carried on Katy's hip, I had designed it to sit on the skirts, to be supported by the fabric, I wanted it to look like an extension of the gown.
The look we wanted to create for Katy & Matt was one of decadence, a frosty, glistening, beautiful wedding day, we pictured the day with crystallized blush pinks and soft cosy greens set against a backdrop of winter coolness, a wedding day is designed to show the whole world, particularly all those that are important to you, just how much you love each other and the best way to do this is by doing it in fairytale, full on Cinderella, Sparkle and fizz style just like Katy-Ann & Matt.
The Grooms men all had Sweet Avalache Rose buttonholes.
The Pews were dressed with Pinus Strobus, silvered Eryngium, Skimmia Berries and Pale Pink Gerberas.
The pedestals in church were huge with Frosted Continus, Long trails of white Phalaenopsis Orchids, Pale Pink Gerberas and Sweet Avalanche Roses, we always try to use these particular Urns & Pillars because they blend perfectly with this churches architecture.
We used Orchids and roses amongst the firs and the spruces, we let the ivy trail to add a feeling of wildness.
When we were in the planning stages for this wedding I suggested to Janet (Wedding Planner) and Katy the idea of having gorgeous bundles of fresh Mistletoe attached to grapevine bell tied into in the porch ceiling, we were picturing everyone kissing each other as they went into church.
The garland around the door seemed to hug the figures in the stone work as if they were keeping them warm.
We included some fragrant pink hyacinths around the door, the hyacinths really added something to the seasonal scents and fragrances as you walked into church.
The winter sun glinted off the lanterns lining the path to church, I love this the lanterns lining the route, a little bit of theatre and majesty.
This is the Reverend Martin Keighley kissing the lovely Dorothy Brown (Flower Design loves Dorothy Brown she is super helpful and she loves our flowers too) under the mistletoe Bell, I sit in on loads of services and I have to say I always thoroughly enjoy Martin's sermons, they are delivered with sincerity and enthusiasm.
The cars were from Clouds and looked regal and the service from The Clouds team was superb as usual, their red carpet is an essential piece of kit for these winter weddings.
The bridesmaids looked really beautiful their gowns were all made by Marcos Bridal Couture on Queens Street in Blackpool.
The Bridesmaids bouquets had a seasonal selection of foliages and berries including Eucalyptus Globes, Cezanne, Vendella & Sweet Avalache Roses and trails of winter flowering Jasmine.
Molly was an excellent flower girl and she looked absolutely gorgeous too.
The use of fresh Christmas frosted wax flower and the silvered asparagus fern around the door contributed to the notions of drama, frostiness and gloriousness. In the same way, the Cezanne roses with their beautiful swirls will provided gorgeous sustenance. Just as importantly, we will use funky Christmassy foliages, twisting and folding their way into the garland as well as scented greens, firs and spruces.
Katy arrives with Robert
The bouquet I created for Katy was in a "Flower Design" hand tied style with beautiful miniature white Phalaenopsis orchids, shell pink Sweet Avalanche Roses, Vendella Roses, Cezanne which is the ivory one with palest pink edges, Blue Spruce and Eucalyptus, together with some fresh mistletoe berries, trails of fragrant winter flowering Jasmine and some frosted fresh wax flower. The bouquet was finished with tiny diamante studs in some of the roses and a white tulle handle and satin ribbon.
The combination of orchids and roses worked beautifully with the frosted winter foliages.
A kiss from Dad Robert for the bride under the mistletoe bell.
A close up of the Mistletoe bell, the frame is made of grape vines.
The Grand Hotel in St Annes looked totally fabulous we were aming at a touch of "Narnia"
We used glittered jelly set with fresh sweet Avalanche Rose petals in the LSA Vases.
The Top table was created with a focal area of King Protea,White Phalaenopsis Orchids and a crown of pink hyacinths, the length was created by trailing Dendrobium Orchids and Jasmine.
The table linen and chair covers were by Special Occasion Linen, the pale pink runners on the table tops really finished off the room beautifully. These magical ghost trees on the tables were absolutely fantastical and really hepled create a fairytale feeling to the reception.

Men and women alike can get colon cancer, however, people at a higher risk for developing colon cancer include those with a history of inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) and those with a family history of colon cancer.
The two most common inherited syndromes linked with colorectal cancers are familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC), also known as Lynch Syndrome. FAP is caused by mutations in the APC gene that you inherit from your parents.
Women with HNPCC have a high risk of also developing cancer of the endometrium (lining of the uterus). Other cancers linked with HNPCC include cancer of the ovary, stomach, small bowel, pancreas, kidney, brain, ureters (tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder), and bile duct.
Colon cancer can be prevented with screening and removal of any polyps before they develop into cancer. Normally, screening should begin at age 50. However, if you have a higher risk or a family history you may need to be screened at a younger age.
Screening methods include stool tests to check for blood (fecal occult blood test), sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, double-contrast barium enema, and CT colonography (or virtual colonoscopy).
A newer screening method, stool DNA (sDNA) testing, awaits FDA approval. It identifies abnormal changes (markers) in the cells that are shed by the lining of the colon. That in turn can lead to early detection of polyps and colon cancer.
Research has shown that this noninvasive test accurately detects both colon cancer (at early stages) and precancerous polyps.
Look for updates on the new sDNA test and read more about it on mayoclinic.com. Work with your health care provider to find out what your personal risk is and how often you should be screened. Have you had your colon cancer screening test?

Here is the truth. I found out that my HMO was paying my Primary Care Physician to NOT REFER HIS PATIENTS TO SPECIALISTS. Therefore, at age 62 I was in the hospital for vomiting & bowel control having tests run, and run. When my doctor came in and how are you today? I saved my life by saying to him you are the one running all these tests. Of course this made him VERY ANGRY. Then he said alright I'm sending you on an out patient basis for Colonoscopy. That doctor said she could get past a tumor to where he "thought he saw something". She said it was malignant and did a biopsy. Then she got on the telephone to the surgeon and made an appointment for surgery for as soon as possible. It had gone through my colon wall. I had that horrible surgery and got a staff infection there. I knew a bad sign was if it started leaking and it did. I could not reach my doctor as it was Christmas time. We have an excellent Heart transplant surgeon in my church so I called him to come look at me and tell me what I should do. He came over and very calmly "come on I am taking you back to the hospital ER. They had to open me all up and got the pus and other things out and admitted me because of the staff infection. My surgeon came in my room and said I would have about 5 days to live and slip into a coma but he would give me the best antibiotic they have for that. I lived but my big incision all the way down, did not want to heal together. There is no more room he
This comment is for Harriet - I am not certain about the connection of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and Barrett Esophagus. You may want to consider seeing a genetic specialist to evaluate your family history and personal risk. They will be able to assist you as you explore this question.
Linda, I would say that you still need to screen for colon cancer with a colonoscopy even though you are having CT scans as a follow-up to your ovarian cancer. Check in with your oncologist or primary care with the specific question. Screening methods are different for each cancer type. I am glad that you are asking about this, it's important.
My husband was diagnosed with Colon Cancer and had surgery and follow up chemo in 2001. He went to every follow up and celebrated after 5 years clear. 11 years later he was diagnosed with Colon Cancer that had metastisized to his liver and there is treatment but no cure. What did we do wrong? Should EVERY person in this situation have a CT Scan to follow up instead of going to colonoscopys every 3months, 6 months, yearly, etc etc? He has no cancer in his colon. He has treatment every 2 weeks and is managing very well in spite of everything but again - no cure. They are unable to operate and do not feel they will get much more in the way of shrinkage. Are there any further steps that he can take?
I cannot get a firm answer on this question....after treatment 3 1/2 years ago for stage IV ovarian cancer, I am approaching the time for a ct scan (abdomen & pelvic area). Do I still need a colonoscopy?
Grandfather died of Colon Cancer. Ignored signs and in 2004 major surgery: colon,rectum, appendix, gall bladder,colostomy..agreesive chemo (pump 24/7) prior and post surgery chemo for nine months...huge hernia developed around stoma requiring 2013 Surgery...I'm a lucky one...would have done better if I paid attention and stopped being a typical male patient....
Had colon cancer last year (my Dad also had it) so I assume I inherited the gene from him. Going tomorrow for one-year check-up colonoscopy and hope all goes well. The surgery was successful - no follow-up treatment and the oncologist has been following me every four months. As of now, I've been very lucky.
Having lived with Tuberous Sclerosis for over 60 years (a benign cancer)and on the brain for 10 years. I was diagnosed with Islet Cell Cancer of the pancreas in 2009 and declined my Oncologists request for surgery in lieu of chemo and radiation. My Primary wanted another Colonoscopy from 8 years ago that was fine, but I declined--I have cancer in me what more could they possibly find except other cancer--one's enough.
recently I was diagnosed with diverticulitis, mild coloitis and had an adenomatous polyposis
and had this polyp removed. Also was diagnosed with some ulceration of the colon. From my paternal family I have inherited esphogeal Barrets Syndrome and wondered does one have anything to do with the other?

The leather doesn't seem like a great quality leather and the bottoms are very slick. It's very disappointing, i may end up returning them."

Skip to comments.Geraldo Demands To OReilly: No More Saying Illegal Alien, Because Its Like Saying Negro
Posted on 04/09/2013 6:46:06 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
On his radio show last week, Geraldo Rivera applauded the Associated Press decision to drop the term illegal immigrant from its official style guidelines and then decreed that no one should use the phrase any longer, seeing as how he believes it is akin to saying negro to describe a black person.
You can never use the expression illegal alien again, the radio host said to his colleague Bill OReilly. It is a pejorative. Its like saying negro or homosexual. It is a loaded term that doesnt accurately describe.
Why dont you just give me a list of things I can say? OReilly pushed back.
Illegal aliens and Bible thumping are two things you cannot say, Rivera quipped in reference to his Foxs colleagues controversial remarks about the religious opponents of gay marriage.
Im not giving into this stuff. Youre crazy, OReilly replied. If somebodys in here and breaks our immigration laws, theyre an illegal alien.
Theyre not an illegal alien, the host concluded. Theyre an undocumented immigrant, give them some slack.
Listen below:
Jerry Rivers can kiss my gleamin Caucasian ass. The nazis did this same language manipulation to get the German people to be more accepting as well.
Geraldo is a liberal idiot blown up to be much more than he really is - even by the fox crew. I can't stand to watch him. Makes my skin crawl.
If stupidity could bloom, GeraldoRat would be beautifullll rose.
Who is he ...the PC police? Good grief! Sorry, if the truth reminds them that they broke the law, well not really sorry. These people need to stop acting like a bunch of cry babies.
For once I agree completely.
Illegal aliens should never be used again. A shotgun with a 10" barrel is illegal. The person holding it (ie the one actually breaking the law) is a criminal.
I believe 'criminal alien' is the correct term and should be used!
Yeah, didn't thin so.
"And this man wants to be Senator..."
He could easily win. He's got name recognition, and he's a moron liberal, (yes, I know that's redundant)>
Umm, isn't negro Spanish for black? How about we just change it to the French version of noir?
Hey Jerry, nobody cares what you say or think. You think "illegal alien" is tough. How 'bout another 100% accurate description, and my fav, "criminal alien?"
So, breaking the law doesn't make what you're doing illegal?
PC = Denial of and punishment of truth
Jerry's a lawyer. He should no it's not illegal to be negro.
All this time I thought the offensive word was "wetback"...
It's the same lie every time from the leftists. The number of "undocumented" illegals isn't even the round-off error of the count of the number of fraudulently-documented illegals.
No, I will not!
I already give them tax dollars and medical benefits. Not to mention, drivers licenses and a reduced in-state tuition.
I prefer the Latin version ( HINT: It is the name of a country in Africa that exports uranium ).
"In a time of universal deceit, speaking the Truth is a revolutionary act." —George Orwell
Yeah... Let's just keep redefining terms and watering down the language.
Just like the morons who didn't like the word "niggardly". No relationship to the racial epithet, but folks get their knickers in a twist anyway.
Illegal Alien is a technically accurate term. Period. Leave it alone.
"We are undocumented Democrats, and we vote!"
How about the German word — schwarz?
Or the Portuguese word : Preto?
How about we use, "Person who, in defiance of standards of good behavior, entered the United Satates of America by crossing the border in violation of Federal laws"
Using the word "geraldo" is like using the word "dimwit" or "pinhead" or "moron".
Censorship is an important foundation of communism.
Pray for America waking up
That's kind of like trying to come up with a descriptive metaphor for playing golf in Scotland.
The Language of the 3rd reich by Victor Klemperer.
In the book Klemperer describes how the nazis manipulated the German language as a means of manipulating German society.
Not to mention..... stolen identities.
We can't say "homosexual"? That one slipped past me. I need to stay better informed. Can we say "faggot" or is that also not allowed? :-)
Oh, so sayeth the great Geraldo.
Yo, Jerry Rivers... shove it up your a**.
And home invaders should be cut some slack and called "uninvited house guests"! Hrumpf! Hrumpf!
Jerry Rivers sucks and spits on this country.
How about illegal negro?
anyone who watches Geraldo is only helping to keep him on the air.
FOX will only get rid of this buffoon, as soon as they see the ratings go to , that goes for other fools on the TV or other networks.
Geraldo and Shep smith are the two most biggest drama queens but Geradlo also seems to have a massive ego and lives in some sort of fantasy world where he was the main guy in the radical days and led the protests and now thinks of himself as a leader of Hispanics.
Well Geraldo they';re ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and I;m an immigrant but came here legally and paid my fees, did my finger prints, background checks, went back to England to get visas and become legal and I paid my way.
I'll go further of which I hear the kids around here call them.

Whorealdo is going to have to go back and censor all the speeches of St. Martin Luther King, who uses the five letter n-word repeatedly.
That is hilarious. I am SO stealing that /s
What p's me off the most is that the government probably pays way, way more attention to us FReepers than it does to what? 10 15 20 million "undocumented" immigrants?
Europe has been far too tolerant of "squatters" who shack up in someone's property uninvited and then demand "property rights" when the building owner wants to tear it down and build something else ON HIS LAND.
Hang on, so he thinks you can't call homosexuals, homosexuals even though they're homosexuals, HUH,
can't call immigrant who are illegal , illegal immigrants because they're illegal immigrants
more proof of the left and their mental disorder
Theyre an undocumented immigrant, give them some slack.
What is he talking about? They've already been given an abundance of "slack" by this country. Free medical care, numerous government benefits, free education, drivers licenses, sanctuary cities, preferential college tuition, etc.
Can I call them transnational trespassers?
Ok, just call them "uninvited criminals."
Nothing is wrong with using the term Negro, Jerry.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I will use the correct term of 'criminal alien' at every opportunity.
Geraldo Rivera is faced with AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH.
No more saying "reporters" either. It's just like saying "idiot".

FGD: Swimming with the Sharks (Prospects)
Ryan Pike
September 08 2013 02:19PM
The Calgary Flames have had a nice trip to Penticton, having won both of their games. Now they have the chance to run the table when they face the winless San Jose Sharks. Game-time is 6:30pm MT and you can experience all the action via streaming video on the Flames site or on Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
The Sharks lost to the Canucks 3-2 on Thursday and the Jets 5-3 on Friday, while the Flames beat the Oilers 5-2 on Thursday and the Canucks 4-1 on Friday. Can the Flames keep their foot on the proverbial gas on Sunday evening?
Through two games, seven Flames have two or more points: Markus Granlund, John Ramage, Sean Monahan, Max Reinhart, Eric Roy, Michael Ferland and Josh Jooris. That's a sign that a few things are clicking right now. Via Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald and Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960, lines for tonight:
Sven Baertschi – Josh Jooris – Coda Gordon
Michael Ferland – Markus Granlund – Dylan Smoskowitz
Turner Elson – Corban Knight – Ben Hanowski
Andy Taranto – Sean Monahan – Emile Poirier
Patrick Sieloff – John Ramage
Keegan Kanzig – Brett Kulak
Tyler Wotherspoon – Eric Roy
Brossoit starts. Taking the night off are Zach Davies, Ryan Culkin, Max Reinhart and Linden Penner. Part of me wonders how a Ferland/Granlund/Baertschi line would fare in pre-season. The rest of me really likes those defensive pairings.
Only two Sharks have more than one point – D-man Konrad Abelthouser and forward Rylan Schwartz. Goalie Troy Grosenick has played four periods and has both losses, while J.P. Andersson may see the brunt of the workload against the Flames.
After two losses in two days, the Sharks had the day off yesterday and are probably – hopefully for them – focused on walking away from this tournament with a win to show for their efforts. As it stands, the Sharks and the Oilers have zero wins thus far, and the Sharks will not want to be known as the worst team to show up.
That said, the Flames have momentum on their side and they're dressing a fairly strong line-up.
Calgary has traditionally shown up at the YoungStars tournament and done fairly poorly. Not so this year. They're poised to go undefeated and are facing a desperate, winless Sharks team that will be hard-pressed to come out of this weekend with a win.
With a bunch of young players looking to continue to make a statement – that they should be on the NHL roster come October 1 – expect another strong showing from the Flames. However, don't expect the Sharks prospects to roll over without a fight.
maybe its just my imagination, but it seems there were times when Sven was standing apart from his team, and then also the first one to leave the ice leaving the rest of the team out there... was I seeing things?
September 08 2013, 09:00PM
No doubt. He was fantastic. I hope he carries this play going forward, because he could really be something. This is the offensive drive we've been waiting to see from Roman Horak for a few years now.
Just think: the Heat might actually score some goals this season. That's almost unheard of.
I think Kanzig will have plenty of opportunity to develop this year. Can't see too many guys wanting to engage him
September 09 2013, 10:26AM
Roy's definitely interesting. If he figures out his own end, he could end being a major steal.
I was just looking over the THN Draft Preview and Eric Roy was rated in the low 50s (54?). 'Some scouts question his hockey sense' was the major red flag, along with his -3 hundred thousand plus minus stat.
So the question then is; what do we think of his hockey sense in this tournament?
I watched the three games, and decision making didn't seem to be an issue to me, and his assets (speed, PP), stood out.
September 09 2013, 10:38AM
I find it interesting you note his speed. I'm not too sure about the player, as I haven't seen much of his work outside of this tournament. The one thing that stood out to me (especially in last night's game) outside of his gifted offensive ability, was the fact that he was slow to recover when caught out of position.
I know he's a fairly talented skater - as is evidenced by his ability to rush up ice and pinch in the offensive zone - so I wonder if it's an effort thing with him.
One play really stood out to me last night when there was an intercepted pass as the D pair was trying to change, it led to a 3 on 1, and Roy ended up just casually coasting in to the zone behind the play, even though he could have at least caught the trailer. It was a little disconcerting for me. However, I'm not sure if this is something he's known for. Anyone?
September 09 2013, 11:16AM
It struck me suddenly late yesterday how Markus Granlund looks more like Bastian Collberg every time I see him. In the WJC (and into dev camp) it was the shot and quick release; in Young Stars it was the skating and the willingness to engage, especially around the net. He's definitely a natural goal scorer.
I know, I can't stop raving about the guy.
Roy is widely known for being less-than-impressive defensively. That was the big knock on him all along; his own-zone play. Honestly, he was better in his own end than I was expecting in this tournament, though as you say, there were a few plays where he really didn't seem to be on top of things. For me, the worst moments were when he was under pressure. He has a habit of running around a little (though Kulak was actually worse for that last night).

I watched the three games, and decision making didn't seem to be an issue to me, and his assets (speed, PP), stood out.
I've been paying attention to Roy (and Ferland) the past few seasons. Roy will figure it out, me thinks. He's got a good head on his shoulders. Decent kid, whose going to be easy to coach. Again, my opinion. If (when?) he adds 10 lbs of muscle, he'll be interesting. I'd like to see him w/Kanzig, but not sure they're compatibale. Remember, he's only 18-19 years old. I think he'll figure it out, and actually skates a lot better than a bigger kid should. He's actually known for having a good work ethic.
Michael Ferland with two more goals tonight against U of C!! How good has this guy been!!!!! He is a different player after loosing that weight he just gets in on the forecheck much quicker. Always had great hands, size but everything else has come together because of increased speed. He easily could stick with the big club this year if he keeps it up.

Social media reaction's been negative to El Paso Chihuahuas name; petition started to change name
EL PASO, Texas - If Twitter is to be believed, people aren't happy about the El Paso Chihuahuas name.
Here are just a few of the tweets with #ElPasoChihuahuas that liked or disliked the name.
Diddy Solis - Watch the chihuahuas go undefeated and all y'all will be rockin these around town lol #ElPasoChihuahuas http://instagram.com/p/fydjIGuoUD/
Joe Herrera - #ElPasoChihuahuas is still a better mascot than the #NewOrleansPelicans. Just Sayin'...
Dr. P - My 7-year-old is very excited about the new baseball team #ElPasoChihuahuas
Becca - I honestly think the whole Chihuahua thing cute x) I like it x) #ElPasoChihuahuas
C- Licenses plates from Juarez get $2 off of parking. #ElPasoChihuahuas
Mike Awesome ?tweeted - Are you kidding me #ElPasoChihuahuas What a crappy name!! Way da go on stereotyping El Paso with Mexico once again #EpicFail
Silver IsReal tweeted - Might as well call us the Poodles or the Hummingbirds. Let's start a recall page! #ELPASOChihuahuas!?
There isn't a recall page but there is a petition to change the name at http://chn.ge/19ZBgZV started by El Pasoan Alex Morales.
"Baseball was once, and to me still is, considered America's pastime. Unfortunately not many people in El Paso, Texas feel the same way," the petition states. "In a predominantly hispanic area, more people show interest in sports such as soccer and football. Mountain Star Sports Group had an opportunity to change that when they revealed that they would be bringing the San Diego Padres triple A affiliate to El Paso effective the 2014 season. While I, as well as thousands of fellow El Pasoans, are grateful and excited for the great opportunity that Mountain Star Sports Group has graced upon our city, we feel that the team name they decided upon, "The Chihuahuas" strongly misrepresents our great city of El Paso. El Pasoans have shown numerous reasons as to why we oppose this name, ranging from "non-intimidating" and "stereotypically offensive" to downright "ugly". We as (tax-paying) citizens of El Paso request that Mountain Star Sports Group, LLC not only strongly reconsider the name of our city's baseball team, but allow our taxpayers to vote on the final name, not just simply "recommend" ideas for the name."

The Speaker Peter Milliken
(Motion agreed to)
Multiple Sclerosis
Routine Proceedings
February 7th, 2011 / 3:05 p.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have three petitions.
The first petition is from Canadians in my riding of Davenport and around Toronto who are concerned about Canadians who have multiple sclerosis who are being denied the right to be tested and treated for CCSVI.
The petitions are calling upon the Minister of Health for Canada and for the province to evaluate the treatment proposed in persons diagnosed with MS.
Animal Welfare
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, I also have a petition from people across the country pertaining to the regulations around the health, welfare, and humane treatment of animals.
The petitioners are calling for the Government of Canada to sign and support a universal declaration on animal welfare. We should all be doing everything within our powers to prevent animal cruelty and reduce animal suffering.
Canada Post
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, finally, I have a petition from Canadians who are concerned about the closure of the Canada Post offices in rural communities.
The petitioners are calling upon the Government of Canada and Canada Post to consult with elected representatives, postal unions and other major stakeholders, including provincial rural communities that are affected by these closures.
Multiple Sclerosis
Routine Proceedings
3:05 p.m.
Gord Brown Leeds—Grenville, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to submit two petitions signed by members of my constituency of Leeds--Grenville and from surrounding ridings.
The petitioners request that federal and provincial health ministers meet to discuss allowing testing and treatment for CCSVI in all Canadians who desire testing and treatment, and to plan and implement a nationwide clinical trial.
I would also like to commend Amy Preston, a constituent of mine, who has worked so hard to bring attention to this important issue.
Veterans Affairs
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present to the House today.
The first petition has been signed by a number of Canadians of all ages and walks of life who genuinely support and value the contributions of our veterans. They regard a veteran as a veteran regardless of where or in which deployment he or she may have served.
The petitioners call upon the Government of Canada to extend the mandate of veterans hospitals to include veterans who have served in conflicts and peacekeeping operations since 1953, end the clawback of veterans' pensions; eliminate the reduction of veterans' pensions at age 65, change the widow's benefit to a non-taxable benefit, create a veterans advisory panel to provide input on the selection of future veterans' ombudspersons, and ensure that Veterans Affairs Canada remains as a stand-alone department.
Status of Women Canada
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Irene Mathyssen London—Fanshawe, ON
Mr. Speaker, the second petition is from a group of Canadians concerned that Status of Women Canada is not enshrined in Canadian law and could be disbanded at any time and that the mandate of Status of Women Canada has been significantly altered in the past five years and is no longer addressing systemic women's equality issues.
The petitioners call upon the Parliament of Canada to support Bill C-581 because it would enshrine Status of Women Canada in law and ensure that its mandate would advance women's equality in Canada in the spirit of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Tilly O'Neill-Gordon Miramichi, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to table petitions seeking justice and closure for the Henderson family. The petition was spearheaded by Bonnie Clark-Douglas and signed by Canadians from New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec.
In November 1981, a 17-year-old boy named Paul "Poncho" Henderson was found dead in Miramichi, New Brunswick. The petitioners call upon the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada for an independent, far-reaching and transparent judicial public inquiry into the murder of Paul "Poncho" Henderson and the actions of all law enforcement personnel involved in the initial investigation of Paul's death with, among other things, a mandate to begin the process of having the murderer of Paul "Poncho" Henderson reclassified as an open and active murder investigation, and ultimately bring the individuals responsible for his murder to justice.
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Jim Maloway Elmwood—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, my petition has been signed by dozens of Canadians who are calling for an end to Canada's military involvement in Afghanistan.
In May 2008, Parliament passed a resolution to withdraw the Canadian Forces by July 2011. The Prime Minister, with agreement from the Liberal Party, broke his oft-repeated promise to honour the parliamentary motion and, furthermore, refuses to put it to a parliamentary vote in the House.
Committing 1,000 soldiers to a training mission still presents a danger to our troops and an unnecessary expense when our country is faced with a $56 billion deficit. The military mission has cost Canadians more than $18 billion so far, money that could have been used to improve health care and seniors' pensions right here in Canada.
Polls show that a clear majority of Canadians do not want Canada's military presence to continue after the scheduled removal date of July 2011. Therefore, the petitioners call upon the Prime Minister to honour the will of Parliament and bring the troops home now.
Social Housing
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Jean-Yves Laforest Saint-Maurice—Champlain, QC
Mr. Speaker, today I wish to present a petition signed by 237 people in my riding. They are asking the Government of Canada to provide the public funds needed by the Société d'habitation du Québec to complete its low-income housing renovation plan and to cover the accumulated maintenance deficit.
The federal government obviously has an important responsibility to fulfill in maintaining and making major renovations to these buildings. These people want to make this clear to the government. I am therefore presenting this petition.
Multiple Sclerosis
Routine Proceedings
3:10 p.m.
Kirsty Duncan Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I rise to present yet another petition regarding chronic cerebral spinal venous insufficiency, or CCSVI, multiple sclerosis.
I have presented the latest statistics: 12,500 liberation procedures worldwide in 50 countries; 80% to 97% of MS patients showing one or more venous problems; and one-third of patients showing significant short-term improvement and one-third showing some improvement with liberation.
We absolutely need evidence-based medicine in Canada. That means we must collect the evidence through clinical trials and/or a registry. The petitioners are therefore requesting clinical trials here in Canada with diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Dennis Bevington Western Arctic, NT
Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition signed by many Canadians. This petition requests that the House inform the Canadian public of the number of civilian casualties inflicted by Canadian troops in Afghanistan, that the House report the number of the military casualties of the Canadian public and that the House keep the Canadian public informed of the cost of the war to Canadian taxpayers.
Employment Insurance
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise to present a petition in the House once again that deals with EI pilot projects and the impending doom of them.
In June of this year, 2011, these pilot projects are set to expire. They were extended from last September and October. I would like to bring to the attention of the House just how important these projects are, one being the best 14 weeks option, which allows people to use their best 14 weeks instead of their last 14 weeks to qualify for their claims. This is very good for the employers as much as it is for the employees.
I present this petition on behalf of many constituents, as well as people outside of my riding in the province of Newfoundland and Labrador, those affected by higher rates of unemployment.
Questions on the Order Paper
Routine Proceedings
3:15 p.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons
Mr. Speaker, I ask that all questions be allowed to stand.

Posted on 04/23/2013 1:54:01 PM PDT by Jean S
Proposed Internet sales-tax legislation received a huge boost on Monday when the White House officially backed the bill, saying it would level the playing field among online and retail stores by ensuring that both pay sales taxes.
Today, while local small-business retailers follow the law and collect sales taxes from customers who make purchases in their stores, many big-business online and catalogue retailers do not collect the same taxes, White House press secretary Jay Carney. This puts local, neighborhood-based small businesses at a disadvantage to big, out-of-state, online companies.
Now, the Senate is scheduled to debate the Internet sales-tax legislation for the remainder of the week, and the bill is largely expected to pass (a similar, nonbinding amendment was approved weeks ago, 75-24).
The so-called Marketplace Fairness Act would allow a state to collect sales tax on Internet purchases made by its residents, even if the Internet company has its headquarters in a different state. It would exempt online companies with sales of less than $1 million a year from collecting or paying the sales taxes, and it would add roughly $10.1 billion a year to local government coffers, according to the Congressional Research Service, at a time when most states are looking for any and all fiscal fixes.
But, the essence of the fight really pits industry against industry.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Because nothing spells "Economic Recovery" like "Tax Increase."
This is such BS. Many of my Amazon purchases are supplied by small businesses.
Never miss an opportunity to increase taxes. I'll bet my RINOs are in the yea column.
They've been waiting to do this for a long time. THe one part of the economy doing well, and you can't have the economic collapse/crisis you've been wet dreaming about for so long, with sections of it working well.
I thought it was unconstitutional to have interstate taxation?
Article 1 Section 9:
"No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any state."
obama said he would never tax the middle class.
this will tax the middle class.
Hey, Leftist Bay Area Internet E-Commerce Entrepreneurs.....the JOKE'S ON YOU!!!!
Note that "leveling the playing field" always seems to be achieved by adding weights to the fast runner.
Marketplace Fairness Act , sounds like it was created by a Democrat
Fine. Then we should just refuse to purchase online for six months or so. Guess who'll be demanding the taxes be done away with then.
"I thought it was unconstitutional to have interstate taxation?"
Tenth Amendment: A state has the inherent and reserved right to regulate its domestic commerce. However, that right must be exercised in a manner that does not interfere with, or place a burden on, interstate commerce, or else Congress may regulate that area of domestic commerce in order to protect interstate commerce from the unreasonable burden.
In other words, the Several States have no rights. They are an anachronism.
That's my plan!
The wife and I have not purchased from Amazon since they nuckled under to Texas on sales taxes. And since that time alot of others have too because Amazon has not made their sales estimates with Wall Street for the last two quarters.
Weasel socialists have ways around everything.
The very fist sentence is wrong. Businesses do not "pay" sales tax. They are forced by law to collect it on behalf of the state. This bill give states permission to force businesses across the nation to collect tax for them.
You've always been bound by law to pay a sales or use tax on everything you buy. There's just no method of enforcement for out of state purchases so folks rarely comply. (I certainly don't...)
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain (raising your taxes on the Internet).
For a nominal fee, of course...
In National Bellas Hess v. Department of Revenue, 386 U.S. 753, 87 S.Ct. 1389 (1967), the Supreme Court ruled that a mail order reseller was not required to collect sales tax unless it had some physical contact with the state.
Democrat "fairness" = You get screwed.
Straight from the Atlas Shrugged manuscript.
There cannot posible be an internet versus brick-and-mortar store level playing field.
The internet seller does not have to support the INCREDIBLE overhead of a store with cooling, heating, parking, security, sales peeps, etc. ad infinitum.
The internet will still undercut regular store sales by a huge percentage.
The best idea is to have A NATIONAL STRIKE where no one buys ANYTHING but food and gasoline for 2 weeks.
Doesn't this violate the 13th amendment?
Surely the house will not vote for another tax increase? Last time I checked the GOP was in control of the house.
Marketplace Fairness Act , sounds like it was created by a Democrat
"Fine. Then we should just refuse to purchase online for six months or so. Guess wholl be demanding the taxes be done away with then."
Great idea!
Heck, I'm pretty much doing that right now.
What is sales tax?
So tax on "internet purchase," but if I call the seller to place an order, then no tax?
It's the online businesses that are at a disadvantage. Sell online and somebody has to pay for shipping. Depending on the item, the shipping can be anywhere from $20 to $500+ (large furniture items, cars, etc.) And if the buyer pickups up the item in person from the online store - the tax is charged so this law does nothing but hurt the online businesses that have to pay shipping.
In a sane world this would be true, but Boehner is in charge of the house. It could be that the numbnuts writing these articles have no idea that the senate and house BOTH have to pass a bill into law.

I agree. The Democrats have tried to do this every year since on-line sales were invented, and every year it has failed. I think it will be easy for the Republicans (even the RINOs) in the House to vote against it.
Of course, when I moved to Colorado 20 years ago I thought it would always be a conservative state. Now the Democrat-controlled legislature is taking away our rights as fast as they can draft the violations to the Constitution.
Note the lack of nuance exhibited by ignoring places with no sales tax.
They've never seen a tax they didn't like. If justice was truly served, they'd all be in prison.
If you have a state sales tax, you should be paying it already. Iowa has a line item on the return for it.
Most people decide to cheat it.
I'll be buying on Craigslist, to avoid taxes....until they jump on that, too.
Yep, why not simply lower property taxes on brick and mortars? Why not lower sales taxes on in-state purchases?
Brick and mortars are making a deal with the devil. As long as there are "tax free" Internet sales, there will be a cap on local taxes. As soon as that ends the lid can come off.
This is terrible policy. I mean, if Obama wants it, it cannot be good.
A pox on their houses. Politicians never saw a tax they didn't like, or think of first.
Better be DOA in the House.
From my High School History I seem to recall that this Country once fought a war over Taxes, Tyranny and Guns!!!
This sounds like it could be a nightmare for small businesses everywhere.
What happens if you get a statement from Iowa saying you owe them $2000, and another from Florida saying you owe them $700 when you believe you don't. Will you have to defend yourself against all 50 states?
We are supposed to voluntarily pay it in TN but of course no one does.
At least not individuals. Business better pay on out of state purchases (called a use tax here but still just the sales tax) because they get audited.
Big purchases like furniture from NC you better pay...NC has an agreement with TN and they send the state the information.
If you buy a car out of state they get their sales tax when you register and get tags.
I recently spent $28 on something from Amazon.com and they sent me, and the state, an email with the information. While the state won't come after me for the $2.59 tax they probably could.
Canada requires the shipper to do the same and they will collect from their citizens. I sent someting to a friend in Calgary once and she got a bill for the tax.
Funny they don't mention who is going to administer the program.
And this is also a foot in the door to institute a national sales tax on top of all the other taxes we are forced to pay.
Democrat fairness = You get screwed.
Progressive = Repressive
Maybe its time to go underground somewhat. Trade and barter with family, friends and associates and skip the government extortion's whenever possible. Starve the beast ay?
wait a minute. where is this bill being introduced? boehner controls the house where revenue bills have to originate. is boehner for this?
