this is just a test... you can safely ignore this entry.
So I've built a davinci rpm for x86_64 so I can maintain the blog remotely. This entry is it's first test.
Wow, it's been a loooooooooooooooooooong time since I posted anything here.
Much has changed.
Lunar has come a long way... many, many releases!
I am no longer directly involved with LPI and my day job is teaching for Red Hat.
I guess, now that I am working with the Fedora Project I will try and keep track of what I'm doing on that project.

1. the taliban ambassador to pakistan says the US military is targeting civilans.
2. they say we've killed about 170 civilians now...
uhm... is it just me or do others see a problem with those two sentences? i posit that if the US military is targetting civilians they're doing a damn poor job of it. it seems to me that 170 people (and more) could be killed in a single strike if our military wanted it that way. ~sigh...
going to a trilug meeting tonight. it's been a while!
getting squared away for Comdex in Vegas... augh!
getting squared away for my trip to Linux West in Japan... double augh!
i was thinking this morning that the prez's statement about "smokin' 'em out of their holes" was a bit deeper than it at first appeared. without really thinking about it i presumed it was nothing more than the rhetoric to be expected of an angry texan. but then i started listening and reading news about what's happening in the streets of countries other than afghanistan. hmmmm....
all over the world people willing to use or support terrorism to promote their cause are making themselves known... very interesting! what is also interesting is that just like here in the west the east has cannon fodder... but just like here the cannon fodder is generally poorly educated and disadvantaged. ~sigh... it never changes. i guess the principle difference is that the economic advantages of the advantaged few enjoyed by the west have, thus far, out weighed the economic advantages of the advantaged few in the east. so the advantaged few in the east are using their wealth and superior intellect to convince those who are more easily led to commit horrific acts in the name of god. do they really believe this will bring equity? somehow i think they don't... i think their motives have nothing to do with righting wrongs... i think their goals are much simpler... they want power and are willing to sacrifice anyone but themselves to get it!
it's frightening to see the eastern cannon fodder saying publicly that they want to kill people like me and what is worse still is they've been convinced that god is encouraging them to do so. lunacy.
on the other side of all of this it's been nice to see some of the other responses from easterners. one of the best examples was a young pakistani woman at a concert making a few comments about how everyone in her society wasn't a radical who hated the west. it made for a nice contrast after being fed a steady diet of street violence for 3 or 4 days. i already knew that the entire hemisphere was not insane but it was nice to see it any way.
so what's it coming down to? is it east vs. west in a global game of tag? will we spend the next 10 or 20 years counting coup? makes me wish i could find base and stay there... but... like the man in the cowboy hat said... "you're either with us or against us"
so what to do...? if it came down to simple mortality i'd certainly choose life for me and mine... i don't want my wife or my 10 year old son dead at the hands of some undereducated savage grinding a rich asshole's axe (while said rich asshole hides out in a cave and makes maniacal videos). so... if i have to choose and there's no safe place left because the combatants have made it that way then i guess if it comes to it i will choose to be a combatant as well... at least that way i have a chance of influencing the outcome for myself and my family. it's been a long time since i've owned a gun... i guess it's time... better safe than sorry. at least, in this country, i still have a right to own a gun (for now) and just maybe the troubles won't come down my street.
are these the kinds of thoughts the folks on flight 93 had before they made their decision to fight?
funny thing is... 10 years ago i was being shot at by people who made the same kind of noise about jihad for all the same reasons... it was all about power then too! when it was just me i didn't much mind the danger... and even though i thought we left the field too soon that was okay at the time... but now it's not just me anymore... we shouldn't leave so soon this time... we should finish it.
conclusion: they've miscalculated the breadth and depth of western resolve. the west is not perfect but it's not craven either. we have an old adage i've heard all my life... "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".

William "Bill" Henry Bergman
RICHLAND CENTER - William Henry Bergman entered eternal rest on Friday, July 12, 2013, at Harmony Home in Richland Center following a struggle with cancer.
Bill was born July 18, 1947, in Richland Center, the son of Edward and Margaret (Anderson) Bergman. Bill loved living in the country near Buck Creek, and quickly found tractors to be his favorite piece of equipment, whether for play as a young man, or for driving when he was able. He was known as a small guy driving a big tractor. He often pulled a wagon behind the John Deere riding mower—even using it to transport his mom in the wagon to see the neighbors. Bill was always willing to help neighbors and friends. Even when he moved to Richland Center, he was a great conversationalist with those he recently met or had known quite some time. He loved Harness Horse racing at the County Fair, country music, two way radio communication, and people.
Survivors include his sister Sandy (Don) Gelhouse of Loganville, his special friend Lois Wilson of Schmitt Woodland Hills, nieces and nephews ,grand nieces and grand nephews.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, his sister and brother in law: Catherine (Phil) Brewer Waletzki; his brother and sister in law: Fred (Evelyn) Bergman; and his Uncle Andy Anderson.
Funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM on Monday, July 15, 2013, at the PRATT MEMORIAL CHAPEL. Pastor Craig Peach will officiate and burial will be in the Richland Center Cemetery.
Friends may call at the PRATT MEMORIAL CHAPEL on Monday from 11:00 AM until service time at 1:00 PM. The Pratt Funeral and Cremation Service is assisting the Bergman family.

Before opening the backroom door of Chicago-style politics, let's review the big picture. Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) puts things into perspective by reminding us that even if we take Obama's 46 million uninsured number as true, that equates to about 15 percent of the population. With that in mind, the Democrats are prepared to tax the Hades out of the 85 percent who work hard to earn or provide health insurance. The Democrats are willing to tax, penalize, cut Medicare, and regulate the entire health care industry in order to insure a mere 15 percent. No, wait, the overreaching and punitive Baucus "bill" wouldn't even cover the full 15 percent -- it would only add coverage to approximately 7 percent of the population. The Baucus "bill" would control the entire population in order to cover 7 percent of the population!
"Why would we punish the part that's working to cover the part that's not?" asks Rep. Mike Rogers. Good question. Assuming arguendo, that federal intervention is constitutional, why not spend money on the 15 percent rather than extend unprecedented central power to control every person's health care in the country? Who in his right mind would "remake" the system that has produced the greatest medical innovation and health care in the world?
The 15 percent problem could be fixed by less intrusive means: Like taking a few billion from of the waste-laden "stimulus" package and paying for the 15 percent. Problem solved. We certainly don't need to be taxed more.
The production of a "bill" that will cut the deficit is another Obama sleight of hand. This is akin to Obama coming out right after ramming through the $787 billion stimulus bill and talking about fiscal responsibility. Or it's like Obama preaching about a new era of responsibility while proposing a $3 trillion budget for 2010. The alleged deficit-negative Baucus bill is likewise a sham. With a projected price-tag of $829 billion it really costs nothing at all -- in fact, it saves money! Tell that to the 85 percent who would get hammered to pay for it.
From the American Thinker.

The puffs can be formed and chilled or frozen on baking sheets well ahead of time, then simply popped into the oven.
Leave a Review
these were delicious. I did not add bacon (suggested many times in reviews) as I thought it would be too heavy with the cheese and butter. Instead I used a garlic press and added two cloves of garlic to the boiling water/butter mixture. Kids loved it!!
These are similar to gougères, though with a different flavor profile. This recipe is easily halved for smaller gatherings. I followed the advice of other reviewers and made the puffs small -- half the recipe yielded 27 puffs. They were tasty but a tad bland. I will add cayenne next time and perhaps sprinkle kosher salt on top before freezing or baking
Easy to make. Change 1/2 cup of the cheese to pepper jack. Add bacon bits (I made my own). Use a small ice cream scoop and make dough balls on a cookie sheet. Freeze it. Use when needed. The smaller you make these, the better they will be. Larger "scoops" do not cook as well as I learned the first time I made these. Second time around I came out with just over 4 dozen of these little guys and they were a huge hit.
These were awesome! Guests raved, it was the hit of our party. They were fairly easy too. Only issue is that there was no way I was going to get 48 out of this...I got 32 and they were small. Cooking time for me was roughly 25-27 minutes when they were cold. THe other thing I love about this receipe is that they can be made ahead and cooked later. I cooked half the day I made them and the other half the next day for another event...still just as good. A keeper recipe for sure...
I had to make an hors d'oeuvre for a party at the last minute and liked the sound of this recipe. I incorporated all the suggestions to improve it (bacon, extra cheese, cayenne). I even added some shallot as I didn't have enough green onion. The finished puffs are certainly airy, but the flavor is bland. I won't be adding this to my recipe file.
These are phenomenal! I got a little worried while adding the eggs, because the mixture seemed more like a batter than a sticky dough. Once I added the cheese and onions the dough did become the right consistency. I froze them over night, and popped them in the oven just as guests were arriving to rave reviews! This will be a new holiday tradition for my family.
I have made these many times and every time everyone wants more. I use smoked applewood cheddar and before I put them in the oven sprinkle them with a smoked salt or bacon salt.
This were very good. They turned out light and airy in the middle like a popover, yet crispy on the outside. You do need to use a very good quality cheddar, however. I used an 11 year cheddar and (as suggested in the other reviews) sprinkled in a little crumbled bacon.
I added a dash of curry for a little zip. I brought these to a New year's Eve party and they were a hit. So easy.
I forgot to follow the suggestions of adding more cheese, or using a spicy cheese, or adding bacon. They were the consisitency of a cream puff but the flavor was not up to my expectation. Supposed to bring them to a Christmas Eve dinner. Will make something else. Would be embarrassed to bring these :( I might try them again with suggested additions especially bacon but not as recipe states.

By Charlie Mitchell
OXFORD – We live in time of instant communication. But that doesn't mean all communication is instant. Some of us – columnists, specifically – must meet advance deadlines, meaning hours and often days pass before anyone reads what we write.
Much can happen between the time an article is finished and submitted and presses roll (or uploads are complete).
This column is a straddle – a time straddle, if you will.
What it straddles is election day.
It is being written before a single vote is counted. You may be reading before, during or well after all tallies are complete.
What I can do, however, is try to offer perspective.
My comments are in two parts.
First, leaving the country isn't as delectable an option as it might seem.
If you haven't heard someone say, "If Obama wins, I'm leaving," you haven't been listening. People have also been saying, "I can't live in this country if Romney wins." Some might be packing right now.
Such rhetoric is as predictable as having to write a time-straddling column once every four years.
But the problem with actually homesteading under another flag is that most nations are not really amenable to foreigners. Remember, "illegal alien" is merely a matter of geography.
Don't believe it? Pick a nation. Visit its official immigration website and read the rules. American tourists (and their dollars) are usually encouraged to visit. If you want to put down roots … well, that's different.
So, go north. Surely the friendly people of Canada welcome American immigrants?
Actually, not so much.
In addition to many of the same restrictions as Mexico, Canada, remember, got a head start on this "free health care for everybody" thing. It didn't take long for Canadians to realize this would make Canada a desirable place to set up housekeeping. Their remedy? One has to be healthy – certified by medical exams – to be approved as a permanent resident.
Many nations, including beautiful Belize, allow repeated renewal of visitor permits. One program even encourages people to "retire" in the tropical paradise. But to qualify, one has to be at least 45, pass a medical screening, including an HIV test, provide proof of a clean (noncriminal) record and deposit at least $2,000 per month into a Belizean bank. (Oh, and should any retiree choose to exit the retirement program, say after the next election, anything purchased in Belize is forfeited to the government.)
Part two: Assuming all these preconditions make leaving the country sound less appealing, be comforted: The presidency, in reality, isn't nearly as powerful or important an office as the press and popular culture make it out to be.
Yes, presidents get to fly on Air Force One and make important speeches. They make important appointments, focus our attention where they think it needs to be and serve as the public face of America to the world.
But with the exception of executive orders (which the last two presidents have pushed to the limit), they have no real power. Making laws, taxing and spending are handled down the street.
Abortion, too, has been a big issue. The judiciary granted women the power of choice 40 years ago. Neither the president, nor Congress, can do anything about that.
So, whether you are miserable that your guy lost (or soon will) or elated that your guy won (or soon will) keep your balance. Be glad presidents aren't dictators (yet) and stay here. Feel loved by your fellow Americans – because you're more welcome here than you will be anywhere else.

Dolores Mary McCluskey
Dolores Mary McCluskey, age 84, passed away Thursday, December 27, 2012 at Good Samaritan Nursing Home, Lodi. She was born September 16, 1928 in Madison, the daughter of the late William and Mary Baebler. She was united in marriage to Darrell McCluskey on March 12, 1949.
She began her working career for Security State Bank where she met her husband-to-be and continued that phase of her working life at Ohio Medical, Ray-O-Vac, and retired from Cuna Supply in 1992, after 27 years.
Survivors include her husband, Darrell "Mac" McCluskey; two sons, Michael (Kimberly) and John (Patricia) a daughter, Sharon; a grandson, Michael; two great-grandchildren, Jeffery and Molly; a sister, Eleanor (Earl) Monson; a brother, Philip (Patsy) Baebler; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Bill, and a sister, Virginia (Wallace) Ryan.
Dolores loved to travel, having been in all 50 states, as well as Australia, New Zealand, England and Europe. Golfing was her favorite pasttime and she had an eagle on a par-4 hole, but loved the Badgers, and for years was priviledged to attend all the home games and on occasion, traveled to away games. The Packers were the only team in the NFL. Her faith, for years, gave her the desire to visit the shut-ins at home and in nursing homes. She spent the last years of her life in Good Samaritan Nursing Home in Lodi. She so much appreciated the affectionate care of the many nurse's aides in "Good Sam", who daily took care of her personal needs. To all of these wonderful and dedicated workers...THANK YOU. She took these excerpts by Robert Test: To remember me, give my sight to the one who has never seen a sunset. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weakness and all prejudice against my fellow men. If by chance you wish to remember, do it with a kind word or deed to someone who needs you, but give my soul to God. If you do all I ask, I shall live forever.
A memorial service will be held at ST. JOHN EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN CHURCH, 100 Oak St., Prairie du Sac, at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, January 31, 2012 with Pastor Fred Rilling officiating.

I believe my algorithm to measure the relative humidity has some issues, but I haven't gotten to a point where I can say what and why. Just notice a few odd things and "jumps" in my data. Ultimately it might be down to the crude approach of using a lookup table and interpolation to come up with the value. Input more than welcome!
float a = (realTemperature - rounded temp from table index) / stepsize in table float b = idem for hum. rH1 = (1-a) * lut[t][h] + (a)* lut[t+1][h]; rH2 = (1-a) * lut[t][h+1] + (a)* lut[t+1][h+1]; rH = (1-b) * rH1 + (b)*rH2;
byte tmp = (byte) rint(temp);
byte tmp = (byte)(temp + 0.5);
byte t = (tmp - (tmp % 5))/5;
byte t = tmp /5;
do { } while (lookupTable[tIndex][rIndex] > r && rIndex++ < 8);
while (lookupTable[tIndex][rIndex] > r && rIndex++ < 8);
the URL to the lookup table is actually in the source code in the sketch,

These days Uggie is a recognizable Hollywood face, having stared in major films like "The Artist" and "Water for Elephants." But before this exceptional dog lit up the screen, he was just a rambunctious pup headed for the pound. Writer Wendy Holden shares this dog star's story as "barked" to her in "Uggie: My Story." Read an excerpt.
As barked to Wendy Holden
Without wonder and insight, acting is just a business. With it, it becomes creation. —Michael Chekhov
The humans were excited. With my keen sight and sense of smell, I could tell that something was up. My Facebook and Twitter pages were abuzz, and everyone had been prepping for hours. Mom Mercy had been to the nail salon and Dad Omar had shaved — inexplicably — twice.
Smells of soap and shaving foam, perfume and hairspray overpowered my nostrils, until I sneezed them clear.
Having endured another pawdicure and full-body grooming, I jumped onto my skateboard and completed a few circuits of the swimming pool to loosen up. Sniffing the air, I detected a whiff of squirrel and spotted it chattering nonsensically, as it did its highwire act on the telephone line slung high above our backyard. Flying into a rage at the sight of that bushy-tailed trespasser, I abandoned my board and barked until my throat ached.
Story: Uggie, 'The Artist' star, casts his paws in cement at Grauman's
No amount of coaching could rid me of my intense dislike of squirrels, birds, cats, and — oddly — zebras, but more on that later. I was, however, getting a little long in the tooth to keep chasing vermin, or anything else for that matter. My sixty years (in human terms) of performing in commercials, motion pictures, photo shoots, and animal shows were beginning to take their toll. My bones creaked, my legs trembled, and Dad had retired me from waterskiing, which was a shame, because I was both a speed freak and a water lover.
I was born an Aquarian in February 2002, to Jack Russell parents. According to an astrology channel I watched with my fellow couch potato Gordo (an American bulldog), those born under the sign of the water carrier are intelligent seekers of life's mysteries, whose quest is to be unique. We are loyal, honest, inventive, and original. On the downside, Aquarians can sometimes be exhibitionists.
I qualify on all counts.
I can recall very little about my puppyhood. I think I met my father once when he came to sniff dispassionately at me and my sprawling siblings. All that I remember of my mother was that she was gentle and nurturing; the smell of warm milk would forever remind me of her. Sadly I was plucked from her teat early on and sold to the first stranger to pick me out from the litter.Video: Meet the canine star of "The Artist" (on this page)
Banishing that unhappy memory, I sprawled on the deck with my legs splayed flat on the cool concrete. I was sweltering under the California sun after my blow-dry. I toyed with the idea of jumping in the pool to cool off, but I suspected that wouldn't be a popular move, especially as I was sporting a bow tie made especially for me by Chopard.
Featuring an eighteen-karat-gold bone inscribed with my name, the $60,000 adornment was mine for one night only, before being auctioned off to benefit an animal rescue charity.
Although I was grateful to Chopard and fully applauded the sentiment behind the gift, I still scratched at the floppy black satin to loosen it a little. I've never been a fan of getting dressed up like a human. I just don't see the point. What is wrong with a little nudity, when you are in such great shape as I am? Admittedly, I've seen a few Shar-Peis who could do with some head-to-toe couture (or a burka), and every full-male Great Dane I've met could benefit from some athletic support (if you catch my meaning), but generally, I believe in going au naturel.
More in books
One exception to my thoughts on costumery is the Palm Dog, a sturdy leather piece with a tastefully engraved inscription. A panel of international film critics awarded it to me in 2011, in lieu of a human Palme d'Or, at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yes: France, where I shall one day pad my paws along the famous Croisette with the best of them (and, no doubt, leave a few choice p-mails for my fans).
The Palm Dog was my first major award and therefore my most highly prized. Even Lassie didn't get one of those, although, to be fair, the concept of honoring four-legged actors hadn't been dreamt up back then.
As I lay panting by the pool wondering what theatrics I might have to perform for Dad later that night, I felt my stomach rumble. It had been more than an hour since my last meal, and that could only mean one thing: "Lights! Camera! Action!"
Not that I minded, really. Being in the spotlight appeals to my exhibitionist side.
I especially enjoy showing humans how to perform a stunt properly or deliver a scene in a single take. I listen to my cues from Omar, play my part, and aim to be "right on the money," as he calls it. On set, directors love working with me, because I am usually the last character they have to worry about. Often, though, something is still not quite right (various human errors) and we have to go for another take.
Story: Did Oscar snub dog star Uggie?
My tummy rumbled once more. Everyone was getting so animated about this Oscar guy. I didn't know who the heck he was, but I knew one thing. If he didn't have a sausage treat for me in his pocket, then I'd give him a trick to remember. My finale might well include a special award that couldn't easily be cleaned off any carpet — not even a fancy red one.
More compelling than these thoughts, however, was the hope that my beloved Miss Witherspoon might be at the evening's big event. It is no great secret in Hollywood that "Miss W" and I forged a unique bond on the set of my previous movie, Water for Elephants, which had also starred Twilight's heartthrob Robert Pattinson.
By the way, I never really got what all the fuss was over Mr. P, (or RPattz, as his fans called him). On any given day, there'd be hordes of young female humans screaming for him at the studio gates, but the supposedly smoldering biped couldn't even skateboard as well as me!

The chance to smother Miss Witherspoon's face in Uggie's trademark slobber? Now that is worth a howl or three.
As someone born in the sign of impulsive Aries, she is highly compatible with my cool Aquarian nature. Ours was one of spontaneous attraction. It was literally written in the stars that we were destined to enjoy what I hope will be a deep and enduring love. Whenever I came into her orbit, the incandescent smile she gave me was even more captivating than a slice of pepperoni. To preserve my movie star demeanor, I frequently had to be pulled away.
In spite of some of the more scurrilous gossip in the Tinseltown press, I never once tried to hump her leg (although I do confess to slipping her the tongue once, during an off-set smooch). Even when she was clad in little more than a sparkly bikini as she rode bareback on a circus horse, I remained entirely chivalrous, as befitting a middle-aged gentleman in the company of a lovely Louisiana lady.
Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Katy Perry — they all have vied for my affections at the many awards ceremonies to which we have been invited, since my latest movie, The Artist, had its first sniff of success. But there is only room for one Hollywood beauty in my terrier heart.
I sighed and rested my head on my paws.
"Oh, Reese," I pondered dreamily, "why haven't you called?"

I wanna GO!!!!
I can't go anywhere near my truck without Sam thinking he's going to go with me, but unfortunately he's not ready to hunt quite yet.
Loading up today to go snow goose hunting tomorrow and man did he ever get excited. I got a few things loaded and realized I'd forgotten something. I called him to come with me back in the house to get it and he just sat there. So I left him and went in....5 minutes later I come out and he's still sitting there patiently waiting. Normally he won't leave my side....heck he even ignored the neighbors dog because he wanted to stay in the truck.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
Firm incorrectly places primary blame for Bay problems on pollution flowing down the Susquehanna River. Photo by Tom Zolper/CBF Staff
Local water quality is at risk of continuing to suffer in some rural Maryland counties. Claiming pollution coming down the Susquehanna River from New York and Pennsylvania and trapped behind the Conowingo dam needs to be addressed first, several counties on the eastern and western shores of Maryland are considering not moving forward with their part of the Clean Water Blueprint and protecting their local water quality.
The Baltimore law firm Funk & Bolton is urging them to delay. CBF is concerned and will fight any delay. The counties are being led down a risky path. If they fail to implement their parts of the Blueprint, the state will have to find other ways to achieve the pollution limit goals. That could mean, among other things, denying new permits.
At the same time, CBF is sympathetic to the counties that are struggling to figure out how to pay for pollution reduction and has already begun working with counties to secure funding and design funding innovative strategies specifically for local governments to reduce pollution. We believe this is a much more productive approach.
The law firm Funk & Bolton relies upon several highly inaccurate themes in its attempt to convince Maryland counties to step back from their responsibilities under the Clean Water Act. Specifically, Funk & Bolton commonly asserts: (1) pollution reduction efforts are not helping the Bay; (2) pollution sources upstream of Maryland are the reason for local water quality problems. Not only are these assertions misinformed and misleading, but also they have the potential significantly undermine Maryland's promising work to improve local and Bay water quality.
1) Funk & Bolton understates Bay water-quality improvements
Funk & Bolton's advocacy letters repeatedly assert that environmental measures have not improved the Bay's water quality and that nutrient management actions resulted in no meaningful change in the level of nutrients in the Bay from 1985-2006. These statements are demonstrably false. A study released by USGS in 2010 demonstrates that one-third of monitoring sites showed improvement in sediment concentrations. i Two-thirds of these sites showed improvement in nitrogen concentrations, and almost all showed improvement in phosphorous concentrations.ii The report also notes that results will be most evident many years after the strategies are implemented.iii Local pollution reduction plans must be implemented sooner rather than later.
A study published in the November 2011 issue of Estuaries and Coasts, conducted by researchers from The Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, determined that the size of the dead zone in mid-to-late summer has decreased steadily since the late 1980s and that the duration of the dead zone is directly linked each year to the nutrients delivered to the Bay.iv
This improvement is despite dramatic population growth. Between 1985 and 2005, the human population of the Bay watershed grew by about 3 million, from 13.5 million to 16.6 million.
2) Local water quality problems must be addressed on a local level, and Funk & Bolton cannot eliminate counties' obligations to make these local improvements
Funk & Bolton attempts to point the finger entirely at sources outside of Maryland, when in fact the counties contribute considerably to local water pollution. In some cases, the counties contribute almost exclusively to the local water problems. For example, the Choptank River is considered "impaired" under the Clean Water Act because of its high levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, total suspended solids and fecal coliform. As the Choptank River is not impacted by the Susquehanna, these pollutants are all coming from local sources in Queen Anne's county, Talbot County, and Caroline County.
Funk & Bolton simply misunderstands or misrepresents many facts about the Bay:

About Biopolitics, Parties, Pundits & Human Biotechnology
Policy decisions about human biotechnologies have typically been debated among elite commissions and experts. But controversy is increasingly spilling over into mainstream news media and political debates.
This trend has been most notable in the United States, with the emergence of human embryonic stem cell research as a political issue. Stem cell debates at the policy level have made this discussion far more visible to the public.
The Bush Administration's restrictions on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research elevated the issue to the front pages of newspapers. Shortly after its announcement in 2001, partisan battle lines were drawn in ways that mirror the abortion rights divide.
Republicans hoped that opposition to research that destroys embryos would increase support among their party's religious conservative base. Democrats countered by assembling a coalition of patient advocates, biomedical researchers, and biotechnology entrepreneurs and appealed to moderate swing voters and Republicans who they believed would be swayed by promises of cures.
There were some notable exceptions to this partisan line-up. Some conservatives support embryonic stem cell research; some liberals and progressives who support the research in principle criticize aspects of its conduct and regulation. Unfortunately, the polarized debate has frequently distorted facts while obscuring a range of important social issues unrelated to the moral status of embryos.

Welp, she's at it again. Madonna, the Queen of Controversy, has decided to spice up her current MDNA World Tour a bit by purposely providing fans an intentional flash of her bare breast. I mean, yeah, Maddy's bare body parts (all of them) aren't anything new but clearly she wanted to remind us that she is the master of attention-grabbing antics. During her recent concert stop in Istanbul, Madonna pulled down her bra to bare her breast and nipple during her performance of Human Nature. Naturally, there is video evidence of her boob flash. Click below to see video of Madonna's bare breast but, of course, be warned that the video is NSFW.
Here is fan-shot video of Madonna's performance of Human Nature / Like A Virgin. You can watch Madonna whip out her nipple at around the 2:55 mark of the vid:
Oh Madge, you're so naughty. It's unknown if Madonna plans to bare her breast(s) during future concert stops or if she was just caught up in the moment. One thing's for sure, Madonna will continue to come up with inventive ways to keep people taking about her new world tour. For those of you who can't get enough, here is an animated gif of Madonna's boob flash for your repeated watching enjoyment … enjoy!

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – Surveying the landscape from high above, predicting future outcomes based on past actions, there does not seem to be an easy solution to the current Medicaid impasse facing the Legislature and Gov. Phil Bryant.
The 2013 legislative session came to an end last week. Legislators left town without funding or reauthorizing the Division of Medicaid for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1.
Everyone acknowledges legislators will have to come back in special session before July 1 to deal with Medicaid. The governor says he does not intend to call that special session until an agreement is reached.
Reaching that agreement may be easier said than done.
The issue centers around the option provided by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act for states to expand Medicaid to cover those earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level (about $15,000 annually for an individual) with the federal government picking up the bulk of the costs.
Democrats want to debate and vote on the issue in the Mississippi House.
Speaker Philip Gunn, R-Clinton, and Bryant say it ain't going to happen because there is no need to put the House through contentious debate on something that will not occur.
As it stood when the session ended, the Democrats had the votes to block passage of bills to fund Medicaid and to reauthorize it, but did not have the votes to force a vote on expansion.
Something is going to have to change in special session – either the speaker or the Democrats – in order to reach agreement.
In short, Gunn and Bryant hold most of the good cards. Democrats are hoping their bluff is not called.
As it stands now, when Bryant calls a special session he will limit the agenda to funding Medicaid and reauthorizing the agency, but will not include the code section of law needed to take up expansion.
Now there is a legitimate school of thought that the governor does constitutionally control what topics can be discussed in special session, but he cannot limit how those topics are dealt with. In other words, if the governor calls a special session on Medicaid, and enough legislators want to consider expansion, the state's chief executive officer cannot keep that from happening.
But in this particular case, Gunn, as presiding officer of the House, will simply rule the issue of Medicaid expansion is outside the call of the special session and that will be it.
I have seen presiding officers of both the Senate and the House rule liberally and conservatively in terms of what can be taken up in special session. Their rulings, it seems, often have been based on what gives them the best chance of accomplishing their desired outcome.
In the end, though, there is no way to get around the ruling of the presiding officer except by convincing a majority of the chamber to overturn that ruling. That has not happened in recent history, and it is not likely to occur anytime soon.
And no judge is going to get involved in a fight over the internal politics of the Legislature.
So, if the speaker says that Medicaid expansion is outside the agenda of the special session, and cannot be addressed, that would leave Democrats in the House few options.
Thus far Democrats have been remarkably cohesive on the issue of Medicaid expansion. If they remain cohesive in special session, they can again block the continuation of the existing program.
While the speaker is holding a strong hand, the Democrats can only hope the speaker and the governor do not call their bluff.
Are Democrats really willing to put in jeopardy an existing Medicaid program that provides health care for about 640,000 disabled, poor pregnant women, poor children and a certain segment of the elderly in order to try to get health care for about 300,000 people earning less than $15,000 annually – primarily the working poor?
It is kind of unusual twist. In the past, it has been primarily Democrats who have championed the existing Medicaid program while Republicans always have said they were fighting for the state's workers.
Now the Republicans are trying to continue the existing Medicaid program, and it is the Democrats trying to add working people to the program.
The result is an impasse with no easy solution.

Now that fall season is currently wrapping up for many areas, I'm curious to know what it is everyone else does during the so called "off season" from fall to spring.
Are you all tinkering with new calls and toys to try and find that go-to call that might draw in the big one next spring? or
Are you all looking for new guns and loads that might give you better pattern density and performance?
Just curious as to what you all do to keep from looking at the calendar every day to see when turkey season will be here!

SIAP (sorry if already posted)- and it may have been answered. I have been searching and reading the forums but I am curious about how finding the right dog works in the dog world. I live in Aubrey Tx and trained reining horses professionally for several years. Competed at all our industries major events. I have seen the pitfalls of non-pros purchasing horses without the help of a competent professional. They then get attached to that horse who is not a good fit or does not have the ability to accomplish what they would like to be able to. They then have the difficult decision of being stuck with that horse or selling it. I think with dogs also being companion animals that decision would be even tougher. I get that at high levels selling and moving to the next prospect is probably common, but I would like to avoid that if possible. My wife has a hard time letting go of any animal. (Why we have three adopted dogs right now from her time volunteering at the dog rescue)
That said I am interested in getting a nice dog in the near future. I am an avid duck hunter. I have a lab I "trained" myself in college but he is retired from the field (age and arthritis he is 13). I use trained loosely as he did hunt and retrieve but knew just the very basics. Several years back I hunted with a friend who ran hunt tests and was a pretty accomplished amateur trainer. I watched his dog make a 200+ yd blind on a hard swimming cripple with him handling her and it was like the first time I saw a great reining horse. I knew right then and there that is something I'd like to experience with a dog of my own.
To the point, in the dog world do trainers help amateurs in finding and selecting a dog? Will they discuss the goals of the owner and then help them locate and identify a good started prospect like we do in the horse world for clients? I would think this would be the best way to have the best opportunity to find something that is a match and would be able to accomplish the goals of the owner. Thank you for reading and your patience if this comes off as totally naive.

Peanut butter, tomato and chilies spark up this Thai combo.
(Total time will vary with appliance and setting.)
Complement this dish by serving it with rice that has been cooked in canned coconut milk instead of water. The coconut rice is especially good when you use the hot salsa in the chicken. Add a side of cucumber vinaigrette, and you'll have a wonderful blend of flavors and textures.
The flavors of peanut butter, tomato and hot chilies are a popular Thai combination. We took a shortcut and used a purchased hot salsa for the tomatoes and chilies. If you prefer a dish with a little less kick, use a milder salsa. You'll still have a tasty dish.
Have that bottle of fish sauce on your shelf since the last time you cooked Thai? You can replace the soy sauce in this recipe with fish sauce for a more authentic Thai flavor. If you would like to try fish sauce for the first time, look for it at an Asian-foods market or a large supermarket. It is made from salted fermented fish, is salty like soy sauce and has a pungent, strong fish flavor.

Maybe I'm doing something illegal here, please let me know.
I bought the color swatch action and installed it on my desktop awhile back Photoshop Elements 7. I just now realized I never put it on my laptop (was trying to do the Jumpstart January color swatch and couldn't find that action) so I was going to try to install it on my laptop (same Photoshop Elements 7).
I copied the files from the desktop and put them into dropbox so I could access them on my laptop. When I tried to put them on my laptop it didn't work...tried to rebuild the database like it suggests but now the program won't even open up. Looking at the files I copied over I now see a padlock on all of the icons I brought over. Thinking I did something wrong I deleted the files from the laptop, emptied the recycle bin, and tried to reopen PSE...it starts to open, then a window pops up that says it's stopped working. I tried to rebuild the database again, and the program will come on like it's rebuilding, but then when it's almost complete it stops working again.
so I guess my questions are
1)can I use the actions on more than one computer?
2)why won't my PSE7 open if I tried to get everything back to how it was before I even tried to copy these actions?
Can Actions Be Used On More Than One Computer?

My styles & actions are loaded on 2 different computers (desktop and laptop), and they work fine.
Can't answer the technical part of your question, though. Hope someone can help!!

I have all my actions and styles installed on both my computers. I always move them from one to the other via a flashdrive and have never had any issues. At this point with your PSE stalling like that I think I would consider re installing the whole program. Just copy your folder with actions and the the one with styles from your other computer and put in the correct folders on your laptop then you won't have to re install them individually on your laptop.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 04:02 PM
Yes, it is fine to have your products installed on more than one machine... as long as they are both yours.
My Gallery I scrap with Photoshop CS6.
Posted 17 January 2013 - 08:38 PM
I have no idea what the problem could be, but I hope you get it figured out quickly and get back to scrapping!

The Sabin PDP has initiated development for a new therapeutic vaccine for Chagas disease that will be undertaken with partners in Mexico, where between two and six million people are infected with this leading cause of poverty in Latin America. Current efforts focus on the development of two vaccine candidate antigens that will ultimately comprise the first therapeutic vaccine for Chagas disease. The vaccine is being developed in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital.
The PDP has also initiated a new project in early pre-clinical stages for the selection and discovery of antigens appropriate to advance into the development process of a leishmaniasis vaccine. Initial antigen discovery is underway for a recombinant protein vaccine that will reduce the global incidence of leishmaniasis.

Family: Bufonidae, Toads view all from this family
Description Gray-brown to olive. Reddish warts. absent cranial crests.
Dimensions 3.8-7.6cm. (1 1/2-3")
Warning Toads have enlarged glands (called the paratoid glands) on the side of the neck, one behind each eye. These glands secrete a viscous white poison that gets smeared in the mouth of any would-be predator, inflaming the mouth and throat and causing nausea, irregular heart beat, and, in extreme cases, death. Toads pose a danger to pets, which may pounce on and bite them. Humans should take care to wash their hands after handling a toad, and to avoid touching the mouth or eyes until having done so.
Voice Musical trill. High-pitched. Calls when near water.
Breeding April-September. Rainfall signals start. Lays eggs one at a time. Hatches in 3 days. Tadpoles develop after 6-8 weeks.
Habitat Rocky regions, praire grasslands, coniferous forests.
Range Texas into California and Mexico.
Discussion Burrows or beneath rocks or moist plant matter during dry season and becomes suddenly active during rainfall when multitudes of individuals emerge.

TUPELO – Just before they enjoyed a catfish dinner at a recent campaign fundraiser, Republican mayoral candidate Fred Pitts dropped the "L" word on his opponent. And it sure wasn't love.
Pitts, 70, used the word liberal against his Democratic opponent Jason Shelton, 36, a local attorney, in the June 4 election for mayor.
"This is a guy who went to Obama's inauguration in Washington," Pitts said.
A solid GOP supporter, Pitts stressed the importance keeping a Republican in City Hall, emphasizing the mayor's responsibility of recommending commission and board member appointments.
"Just think about your school board," Pitts told the crowd of about 150 people at the fundraiser. "Do you want a liberal on your school board?"
While the mayor nominates individuals for these positions, the majority of the City Council must approve them.
Coincidentally, the same night local businessman Pitts associated his opponent with liberalism, Tupelo residents throughout the city received phone calls thinly veiled as a "survey" that attacked Shelton.
Placed from numbers outside of Northeast Mississippi, the automated phone calls made false claims against the Tupelo attorney but also described him as a "trial attorney" who "defends criminals" and made references to his associations with "liberal" causes such as contributing to political campaigns of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Since 2008, Shelton has donated more than $12,000 to Democratic candidates, including former 1st District U.S. Rep. Travis Childers. He also attended President Barack Obama's presidential inaugurations, receiving invitations from Childers in 2009 and from U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, a Republican, this year.
Friday on his online Facebook campaign page, Pitts denounced the phone attacks on Shelton, distancing himself and his campaign from the push poll.
Local and state Republican Party officials have also denied association with the phone attacks.
Shelton said he sees the attacks as a sign that his grassroots campaign has gained traction and will continue focusing on building support.
"I don't see how any of that's relevant to any issues facing the city of Tupelo," he said. "If they want to attack me by engaging in politics of personal destruction and by distracting the citizens of Tupelo, I can't control that."
While Pitts distanced himself from the phone attacks, he stood behind his comments about political party affiliation. With the mayor's race as the sole race in the general election, Pitts said party association and political ideology are valid reasons to decide how to vote.
Partisan politics is the norm in state and national elections, but it has managed to stay away from Tupelo city politics in recent memory. Four years ago, now-incumbent Mayor Jack Reed Jr. and Doyce Deas, a Republican and Democrat, rarely mentioned political party affiliation.
Marty Wiseman, director of the Stennis Institute of Government at Mississippi State University, said local politics in Mississippi has tended to rely less on political parties and more on friendships and other personal connections. More so, Wiseman notes that Tupelo politics in particular have generally been less confrontational than other communities.
"It's going to make for a very dicey and political race in Tupelo," he said.
Party politics isn't lost on Shelton, either. He has already received Republican endorsements from residents, including unsuccessful 2009 mayoral candidate James Presley, and has attempted to fashion himself as the fiscal conservative in the race.
In the Democrat's campaign headquarters on West Main Street, a potted plant on a shelf has special significance. He said it was sent from "Republicans for Shelton."
While the two candidates have similar positions on a number of local issues, they continue to find distinctions. Shelton says he will bring "new energy" into City Hall. Pitts and others have seen that as a subtle nudge to the age difference between the men. Pitts counters by saying he has the most experience, having served a term on the City Council, while Shelton has yet to serve in elected public office.
"We have a young, inexperienced president, and where has that gotten us?" Pitts said.

Here's a video of Roxi's swim-by last year. If I remember correctly, the steps and days were as follows:
Day 1: Line to pile
Day 2: Line to pile
Day 3: Force to pile
Day 4: Force to pile
Day 5: Stop to pile
Day 6: Teach right over and left exit
Day 7: Enforce left exit and teach left over/right exit
Day 8: Enforce both left/right exits
Day 9: Used new pond and enforced both left/right exit
Day 10: Used 3rd pond to solidify concept
If you're new to the swim-by, the timeline is similar to other concepts. There is no time frame, it takes as long as it takes. Read your dog and move forward accordingly. For example, on day 5 she reacted well to the whistle so I didn't spend much time with it, and moved on to day 6. Here's day 2 and day 7 on video...

hey guys just looking at the SD rules & regs as im thinking of applying for a prairie unit hunt "thanks everybody for all the great info lol?" but any way i was just wondering what everybodys thought/feelings on the south dakota backwords law that lets you shoot 2 OF ANY WILD TURKEY that includes 2 HENS if you want it to be???
im still old school & dont even like folks shooting hens in the fall season wear its excepted that its OK to do so??? but i do not understand in any way shape or form why any state would allow you to harvest 2 HENS during the spring season??? & on top of that you can use a rifle or slug to kill your trophy HEN turkey???
is it that there is a bunch of yahoo locals that are extremely lazy & just want to shoot a turkey??? hen or tom??? or do they have a over population of turkey so its ok to blast a hen on the nest??? & then to be able to use a rifle on top of that??? man i really think the SD game & fish has this rule way way wrong in so many ways!!! but thats my thoughts what are your guys feelings on the sub ject??? everything i have learned in my yrs of hunting turkeys says this is way bad for the spring season!!!

BEER NECESSITIES: Moules frites are just one example of the fine cuisine á la biére.
To start, then, with the draught brews (of which there are 36, along with more than 100 bottles), we tried Affligem Blond ($7), which is actually an amber Belgian ale. I think it's supposed to be served a little warmer, but it was clean, with the wine-y and unusual flavors of the Belgian style. At seven percent alcohol, it creeps up on you. For the true blond (if somewhat cloudy) pour, I preferred Unibroue Éphémère, a "white ale" brewed with some boiled apple juice. By keeping the alcohol down to 5.5 percent, this Quebec microbrewery gets a cider aroma and flavor, warming to pear and spice.
There are really only two appetizers: Monk's Frites ($6) and moules frites ($7/appetizer; $14/dinner). These are made with hand-cut Yukon Gold potatoes and served in a paper cone, as they would be in Belgium, with various dips. Some fries are crisp, some are not, and all have wonderful potato flavor. The smaller portion served with the mussels is served in a drinking cone. The mussels are leaner than their shells would imply, which is the norm for the season. There is a choice of five different "pots" for the mussels; we had pot Number 2, based on Affligem Blond, Asiago cheese, tomatoes, spinach, and garlic. We were licking the shells to get all the cheese, then using them for spoons to have the broth. The ale gave it a bitter finish, perhaps best with the grilled garlic bread provided.
My favorite entrée was the Belgian mixed seafood stew ($16), combining fish, scallops, shrimp, mussels, and bits of sausage in a light tomato-cream-dill broth that just wouldn't quit. I used about four times as much of the grilled bread on this bowl. The only weakness was slightly undercooked potatoes.
Stoemp saucisse ($12) is a platter of five sausage balls surrounding a heap of potatoes mashed with leeks and flavored with sweet spice, perhaps allspice. The brown gravy had ale in it though was otherwise sub-diner quality. Stoemp also comes fried ($8). The sausages were mild and mixed with green onion, and fried until they were crusty.

The truck's thermometer said 25 below I as stepped out into yesterday's unit 3 sunrise. The frigid air started crystalizing around my face instantly and the snow screeched with each step of my snowshoes. All I could think is how dangerous a turkey addiction can be. But waiting for a warmer day is not an option with the season closing in only 2 days.
Last night a farmer had called inquiring why I had not been out to his farm. Last time on this farm there were no turkeys. As of a couple of days ago he said there had been a turkey invasion. OK time to squeeze in a unit 3 trip.
Oh man there were turkeys roosted nearly everywhere along the field edges and they could all easily see me coming so all the noise of my approach did not matter. I set up along a woody point that had frozen wild grapes, dogwood berries and elderberries. After a long 20 minute wait I belted out the first series of assembly kee's to the still roosted turkeys. A bunch of turkeys sailed off roost to me- a gobbler rolled dead at the shot. A lot of things don't work in this kind of cold and that included my camera. The turkey was frozen by the time I returned to the truck for the drive home. This was my coldest turkey hunt ever.
It warmed up to 5 below that afternoon so I went out locally in unit 4. There were turkey tracks all over the valley so I figured they had moved up the hill towards the west fields. The snow squeaks loudly at -5 too. Just before I crested the top that feeling hit me,
the turkeys must be just up a bit out of sight. So I set up and kee'd on Willowridge special kee kee pot. Barely had time to set it down before 9 turkeys heads were staring at me. A jake and a jenny made a nice pair. Had I gotten a hen with the morning's gob it would have been a turkey full house.
The temp is suppose to be zero today, when it reaches its high I'll be out to say good bye to season 2013. Maybe there will be a New Year's Eve turkey - maybe not... That is not always the point, reflection on a past season is good for the soul even as the post season melancholy sets in.
Happy New Year Turkeys Seasons to All!

- Compliance -The employer complies with all Federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Laws, California State Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) Law,San José State University Privacy Policy and San José State University Career Center Employer Services Policy.
- All job and internship listings are posted at the discretion of the Career Center, and we reserve the right to choose to not post a position if it does not appear to support the best interests of students and/or the University.
Career Center does not provide services, rooms, or sponsorship if:
- The opportunity involves on-campus solicitation, posting of materials, or sale of products and services.
- The organization is sponsoring an individual to establish his/her own business for the purpose of selling products or services, and/or recruiting other individuals to establish their own businesses.
- The organization is unable or unwilling to provide contact information in SpartaJobs with contact name, address, phone number, and email address.
- The organization requires an initial payment or investment - with the organization itself serving as an umbrella or parent corporation. Investments of this type may include, but are not limited to: requirement to attend unpaid orientation or training sessions; direct payment of a fixed fee; payment to attend orientation or training sessions; and/or purchase, rent, or place deposit on a starter kit, sales kit, samples, or presentation supplies.
- The organization fails, for any reason, to provide essential information concerning the nature of the position or compensation, including, but not limited to: commission only, job responsibilities, salary, applicant requirements.
- The organization is unable or unwilling to provide written documentation of registration with a Better Business Bureau if so requested.
Unpaid Internships
- All unpaid internship opportunities must comply with the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage & Hour Division's Fact Sheet #71: Internship Programs Under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Third Party Recruiter/Agencies
- A third party recruiter is an agency, organization, or individual that recruits candidates for employment opportunities. This definition includes search firms, contract recruiters, online job postings, resume referral services, or professional associations who recruit for their membership.

- SpartaJobs online job posting service

Job Postings as Part of Immigration Compliance
- The SJSU Career Center will permit job postings that may be part of the permanent labor certification program (PERM) process for permanent employment of immigrant foreign workers. The SJSU Career Center has the authority to alter postings to inform students of the potential strenuous process and costs associated with the opportunities.
Requests from organizations to target only specified audiences/populations

- Career Center will forward such announcements to appropriate campus organizations such as clubs and campus departments.
- Career Center will advertise opportunities that target specific populations if they also will consider other students or have opportunities open to all interested students.
Job Offers
The Principles for Professional Conduct established by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) state that "Employment professionals will refrain from any practice that improperly influences and affects acceptances. Such practices may include undue time pressure for acceptance of offers and encouragement of revocation of another offer. Employment professionals will strive to communicate decisions to candidates within the agreed upon time frame."
The SJSU Career Center believes that allowing students adequate time to make an informed decision whether to accept or decline an offer is in the best interest of both students and employers. Students feel more secure in their choices after they have analyzed all of the information available to them, and employers can feel more confident that students have accepted their employment offer with every intention of honoring their commitment.
- Notify a student in writing of the major components of a job offer (job duties, salary, bonuses and other benefits, starting date, work location, schedule, etc.) after a verbal offer has been made.
- Give students a minimum of two weeks response time from receipt of written employment offer.
- Students should not be pressured to accept "exploding offers". ("Exploding offers" is a general term used to include a quick response time, reduction in offer package, or any other practice that puts unreasonable pressure on a student."
Alcohol Policy
In accordance with the guidelines set forth by NACE, San Jose State University Career Center believes that serving alcohol should not be a part of the recruitment process. Therefore, all recruiting activity should be alcohol free.
The Career Center staff will investigate complaints by users of our services about job postings, employers, or work assignments. If we determine that a complaint is justified, we may choose not to sponsor recruiting activities for the employer involved. The Career Center will notify the employer in writing of the decision.
Please forward questions to Davidson Young, Asst Director of Employer Engagement, firstname.lastname@example.com or (408) 924-6032.

text: The hot weather followed me back to Scotland, which is nice for me but not so nice for my 3m^3 computer cupboard which, being unventilated, gets quite warm and toasty. Today with the outside temperature at 20C and the inside temperature at 24C the cupboard was at 30C with the door closed, or 26C with the door open. So I cut a holes in the plasterboard in the wall near the top, a 120mm fan (with useless but cute blue LEDs, but nice and quiet with a fairly good flow rate), a nice looking outlet vent to hide the messy holes, and enough space for air to get in at floor level under the door. With the fan on and the door closed the temperature started rising, although slower than normal, to 29C. Turn the fan off, 30C.... so it's pretty consistant, but not particularly worth the effort. I need to figure out if my fan isn't moving enough air, or if it's just bad placement. -- I don't think I can get away with making any more large holes in the wall though, well not until Tracy goes out of the house for a few hours ;)

Even as Republicans pummel President Barack Obama's health care proposals, some GOP leaders worry their party is being hurt by a Democratic counterattack: Where is your plan?
Republican leaders chose not to draft their own comprehensive bill, focusing instead on attacking Democrats' plans as too costly and bureaucratic. Some prominent Republicans now fear they are getting tagged as the "party of no," and they want the GOP to offer more solutions to the nation's health care problems.
