The mother suing doctors for ignoring her no-caesarean request
Sometimes childbirth can be miraculous and perfect, sometimes it can be messy and complicated. But what happens when the birth you'd planned gets taken over by medical professionals? What are the rights of a pregnant woman to control her own body even if that might compromise the life of her baby?
Vaginal birth after Caesarean
After having two caesareans, New York mother Rinat Dray was determined not to have another when she gave birth in 2011 to her third child.
Except things didn't go quite to plan when she arrived at Staten Island University Hospital in labour back in July 2011. Dray claims that doctors told her that the baby would be in danger and her uterus would rupture if she didn't undergo a caesarean. She even says the doctor told her she would be committing child abuse.
At the age of 32, Rinat Dray had done her research into vaginal birth after a caesarean (sometimes called VBAC) and was determined to give it a go.
She raised the issue with the Metropolitan OB-GYN Associates group, who indicated a vaginal birth was a possibility for her — so she decided her third baby would be born by VBA2C (vaginal birth after two caesareans). Except that isn't what happened.
When things go wrong
After several hours of trying to deliver vaginally Dray was wheeled to an operating room, where her baby was delivered by caesarean section.
Hospital records show that the caesarean delivery was approved by the hospital's legal department and the director of maternal and fetal medicine. "The woman has decisional capacity. I have decided to override her refusal to have a c-section," Dr James J Ducey, wrote in her case notes.
During the surgery the doctor perforated her bladder. In court papers, he denied that he had carried out the surgery against Dray's will and said that her own 'culpable conduct and want of care' were to blame for any injuries she sustained.
Rinat Dray is now suing the hospital and two doctors for malpractice, alleging they 'improperly substituted their judgement for that of the mother' and for 'pressuring and threatening' her during the birth of her son.
Usually women who arrive at hospital needing a caesarean are talked into it but, according to Dray's complaint, not only did the hospital ignore her express wishes not to have the surgery, they also failed to consult the bioethics department and they didn't engage the hospital's patient advocate.
The best laid plans
When I heard that I was pregnant 13 years ago I tried to book an epidural. Seems that you actually have to be more than six weeks along to actually put that request in – say like, in the throes of labour and about to give birth. Suffice to say, I was petrified.
I read every book that I could, I researched giving birth like I was writing an exam for my end of school finals and then at 30 weeks the doctor told me I was having an emergency caesarean. I got my epidural. But I never got the birth I had imagined. It was like studying for the math exam and then finding you were actually about to write the English final. Except I got a beautiful baby out of it and both of us ended up happy and healthy.
I was lucky and the caesarean, although never featured in my top ten experiences, was just part of my journey to motherhood.
Difficult on all sides
It must have been a frightening and disempowering situation for Dray; that cannot be denied. But equally, it must have been a very difficult situation for doctors who were aware that a vaginal birth may have resulted in harm to the baby and to the mother.
According to the latest Mothers and Babies Report from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare almost one-third of all births in Australia are delivered by caesarean section. Repeat caesarean sections occur for 83.6 per cent of mothers who had previously had a caesarean section.
Birth can get complicated and any mother will know that a birth plan is much like a wish list – you want it to go a certain way but that doesn't mean it will necessarily unfold that way. Medical intervention is sometimes the reality that impinges on the fantasy of the natural birth. But that's just my opinion. Others will argue that doctors can be too quick to put women under the knife and point to countries like the Netherlands, for example, where just 14 percent of babies are born this way. Either way, it's an emotionally-laden subject that is sure to stir debate for some time to come.
Does a pregnant woman have the right to control her own body, even if that might compromise the life of a fetus or should birth be considered a medical situation in which the doctors know best?

Day one of O'Reilly's Tools of Change conference was yesterday. It's was a mixed bag, with a lot of very strong speakers and some that seemed to be struggling to make an impact (or struggling for something relevant to say). All in all the audience is pretty receptive – they want every one of the speakers to succeed, but this is a very tech-savvy crowd and there isn't much tolerance for glossing over or, god forbid, patronising.
There were three keynotes to open the conference, and it seems the first – by blogger and marketing entrepreneur Mitch Joel – was the biggest hit with the audience. Joel's talk wasn't specific, but it was inspirational, exploring the paradigm of the new consumer and urging publishers to hit "ctrl-alt-delete" and make a fresh start in the way they see consumers in the digital age. The concept that seems to have struck the biggest chord is his not necessarily revolutionary, but it is timely – a reminder that publishers need to stop thinking of their readers as a broadcast audience. '"Like our Facebook page!" he said, "why don't you try liking their Facebook page, and following your loyal consumers' social media."' He told an anecdote of a friend of his utilising Amazon Prime to act on a purchase recommendation instantaneously. This is how the consumer of the future will buy – immediately, or not at all. Recommendations are everything. He and a couple of Twitter friends began recommending a particular brand of luggage – whenever they mention it now they're capable of getting a number of online retailers to sell out within hours. It seems trivial, but connecting to influential readers (and book recommenders) is, I think, really going to be the future of book marketing.
I saw David Gosen speak next, from Nielsen, who peppered the audience with some fantastic statistics about the penetration of devices, especially tablets, in the UK, US and European markets. None of the information was necessarily game changing, but having it all in one place and from one engaging speaker was incredibly useful. Some of the topics he covered included the tendency of tablet readers to dual screen – 69% of tablet owners watch their TV while using their devices, and the majority of the information they're looking up is unrelated to what they're watching. Gosen urged the publishers in the room to get rid of the idea of 'downtime' – downtime no longer exists. Following neatly from Mitch Joel's speed to purchase anecdote, Gosen said consumers want to fill all their time quickly and efficiently, and if you can't do that then you will lose their loyalty.
This ties in quite interestingly with something the keynote speaker Bob Stein from the morning session said regarding social reading. Stein – the creator of the Criterion Collections – is launching a social reading platform called SocialBook. SocialBook will allow readers to share annotations, comment on each others' annotations and buy special add-on content. Contrary to expectations, however, this kind of social reading isn't just for the time rich. The 'glosses' that Stein is selling as add-ons to books through SocialBook allow readers to get the annotations from an expert reading of a longer text – and therefore skim information intelligently. On the flip side, SocialBook allows deep analysis of individual pages or annotations for a book that a reader has a genuine connection to. These tools allow readers to connect with each other and connect to texts on multiple levels depending on the desired level of interaction.
There were plenty of speakers and a lot of interesting information to cover, but I'd like to end this post with the phenomenal talk given by Elizabeth Wood from Worldreader. Worldreader is working to give ereaders (at the moment they're using Kindles) to kids and schools in sub-Saharan Africa. Wood reminded me how radically e-reading technology is going to change things. As she said, Kindles (and other e-readers) are approaching a zero price point. Imagine a world in which 200 million readers in sub-Saharan Africa get access to instantaneous (largely English) reading. They might not pay $8 for a book – but as Wood pointed out, they will pay something. This has a tremendous potential impact on world democracy and literacy and on the longevity of the book as a cultural object. It's an optimistic time – and a great time to be involved in books.

yo ian, if you have a Freds near you, their dollar paint is fucking dope. specifically the Red, Grey, and Blue. the flat black, and white, i always release some pressure, but after you do they cover like a champ. my suggestion is to go to yard sales, estate sales, hardware warehouse close outs, discount racks of art stores, home depot, lowes. you can get some nice paint at yard sales for pennies on the dollar. might even be able to find a few older cans to send my way haha. also, the silver and gold i use are both dollar cans, they are dutch boy "fresh look", and are both really nice. if you are trying to get some colors that everyone else doesnt have, you should start mixing your dollar cans. thats what i do if i dont have a pink, mint green, light blue, or whatever. just get some "extinguisher" caps off of a couple of carb and choke cleaner cans, and GET THE RED HOSE that is taped on the side. put one can (you want it to be 1/4-1/2 way full) in the freezer, and let the other one hang out outside for 30 minutes. then put both the caps on the cans, and connect them with the hose. push the warm cans cap first, then the cold ones, and youll hear it filling up. i do this alot with my tall cans, i prefer using them, and usually put all my scraps of a certain color in them. it also makes them low pressure, so you can practice details if you want without having to worry about drips and shit.
sorry for the rant, i doubt i even answered your qustion, im baked.
^yo you should make a turtorial with pics and post it.
But yeah transfering a bunch of shit paint into a 600 ml can is choice if you have the time, but if you dont, just softly release pressure from the shitty paint for better results. If you got shit paint don't try to piece with it unless you have mad bars, just use em for can control. Throwies don't have to have solid fills, and if you got fats you can still make a grimey non solid fill look dope if you fill it clean.
i use shit paint for my throws and peices
so its not the paint but the one who is painting
hence why i said "unless you have mad bars" ........lol wtf you even talking bout tho?
1. Get two dollar cans. I got a White (left) Red (right... obviously). I put the white can in the freezer for 30 minutes before mixing. This helps keep it nice and thick, and less liable to come back through your hose and mess up your other cans color, as well as lets the thinner/room temperature paint flow freely.
2. You can get extinguisher/mixing caps off of old wd40 cans as well as carb and choke cleaner. Make sure you grab 2 and the red hose. Should look like this.
3. Put the caps into your valves. I usually twist one into the the can with the hose attached, then twist the other cap into your other can without the hose attached. Then connect the two with the hose. Make sure they are in there good, unlike mine on the left. You are in for a mess if not. I always press the warm cans cap first, then quickly press the cold ones. This gives the warm cans paint a chance to get flowing and build up pressure. Then when you press the cold cans cap will release the pressure into its valve and start the flow.
4. This was the red we started with.
5. This is the pink you end up with. Ive noticed that the can that ends up with the mixed color is always a medium to low pressure compared to its original state. Im not sure where the pressure is lost at, and I really dont care, because its always thick and covers extremely well at a low pressure, but you dont lose much thickness on your lines. You'll eventually get used to how much paint you need in each can to get the color you want, it doesnt take too long, and you can always take off the mixing cap, shake, and test it.

O fasho! is the new to graffit thread closed? If not you should put this in there too so it can be archived.
im not sure, ill check that out. i may just let a mod move it though.
im talking about when people say " i used shit paint to do this do that and thats why it looks shitty" so i said the paint has really nothing to do with how you paint
ooo lol well yeah, that too
woord up weedeater, dont have any franks around me (east coast) but ive got a lowes right down the street, and ill keep my eyes peeled for yard sales and such. good looks on that mixing too, are your cans like both half full for that or like the red half full the white all the way and which can does it end up in the warm or the cold one?
it ends up in the cold one. and the red was full, the white was about 2/5 of the way full, but ended up being all the way full.
i just got a small question... after lookin' around the pic's on the forum i'm just wondering how long have you guy's been doing graffiti (if you do graffiti of course)
5 years- 3 of them being completly mad toy and tagging everything with a sharpie magnum under other dumb aliases
To become good at graffiti you really just need to know someone who knows what there doing and to tell you when your about to do dumb shit. The short answer is it takes about two and a half years to become in the scene and decent. It could be longer depending on your motivation or shorter depending on if your willing to learn and progress. Its gonna take half a year to learn the basics. Youl have a throw and oull start to see that bars and simples are good, the second half of the first year your just gonna go wild with bars and make alot of wack styles. at the end of your first year youll have a mini ego and some toy beef in the hood, youll be getting better at painting and youll start to notice your shit is looking wack. Youll have a small brekadown and try to reinvent your whole style. Its gonna be a weird second year and your gonna start to notice all your shit is wack but its clean because your getting better. Near the end of your second year youll slowly work out the kinks of your style and you might get noticed by some people and your shit will start to look proper and decent. the next half of the year youll look back at how wack you where and by that time youll have confidence in your letters and they will be fly and dope.
take note that to get good your gonna have to draw a shit load, think of doing a tag and how many times youve done that, it should be the same way about your peice or throw, your gonna have to draw that well over a thousand times befor its gonna look good. Donot get stuck at the simple bar stage, alot of people stay there and there ego goes on to ruin there graff careers, keep your egos small and learn history and youll do fine, ps graffiti ruins your life.
I'll have to go with Weak, except I've done it for like 3 years, with 1.5 of them being dumb as fuck since I didn't know about bars. I'm really lazy when it comes to my name, but I usually paint a simple or throw on a daily basis, just to get my can control and letters down. I used to really suck at transferring shit from paper to a wall, but with time, you get a lot better at it.
that i s a sick ass break down weak ... I've tried re inventing my style Im at about 2 years just feel stuck like my shit isn't evolving ...I jus have to keep at it
Yeah man, alot of of people sometimes switch names when they get to a major block, a good thing to do is look at alot of diffrent graffiti and bite the fuck out of it. Everyone bites but alot of people deny it, its how new shit get thought of. Your own personal flare will turn the bite into inspiration. Do diffrent peoples names and dont be afraid to do wack shit. You only learn my the mistakes you make.
word ian, i dont pay more than a dollar for ANY can unless its a vintage jawn that i find all by its lonesome. usually when i go digging for oldies ill end up grouping alot of user paint in for a dollar a can, if not i have certain dollar can brands that ill buy and mix if i need/want a certain color. ive gotten brand new rustos for a buck a piece before just because i was buying 20+ cans they were going to throw away. i dont want to risk getting caught racking since im currently paying/working off a charge, and i get paid well so i dont mind paying, even though 99% of the time im ripping them off.

Football is a brotherhood but for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, they had to tippy-toe around having to split up actual brothers trying out for the team.
The older of the Smith brothers, linebacker Johnathon, was given the bad news he was no longer on the roster as his younger brother, receiver Jamal, remains with the Roughriders, trying to earn a spot on the 2011 roster.
"I spoke with (Jamal) before practice to see how he was doing and he said, 'I'm fine', and he understands the nature of the business and he felt bad for his brother but he also knew he had to come out and not let it affect what he had to do," explained Head Coach Greg Marshall after Tuesday's practice.
Marshall thought the younger, Jamal, had one of his better days in training camp on a tough day for the family.
Roughriders adding and subtracting
The team also released kicker Jake Harfman, who was pushing Eddie Johnson and Chris Milo for the kicking duties this season. The team did have good news for some players. Defensive lineman RJ Roberts was added to the roster along with defensive back Eddie Russ.
Russ was one of the first players released on cut down day but as the pre-season game against Edmonton nears the Roughriders felt they wanted to take a closer look at both Russ and Roberts, while Smith and Harfman were likely not going to see much time.
Injury updates
Marshall did not know any more on the shoulder injury to defensive end Brent Hawkins, Tuesday. He believes Hawkins will see a doctor soon and that they'll know more in the next 24-48 hours.
Aaron Fairooz continues to jog, while recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered in the first hour of training camp. After taking part in yesterday's workouts, rookie defensive back Craig Butler was back on the sidelines along with veteran DB Chris McKenzie.
Jamal Smith's sticking with the team could be due to the fact the Roughriders are starting to lose depth at receiver as Obed Cetoute and Dominic Bolden have joined Fairooz on the injured list.
The Roughriders will have their final practice on Wednesday before Friday's pre-season opener against the Eskimos. (Kickoff at 7:00 at Mosaic Stadium)

Paintings of the 1920's from Dix to Querner
An exhibition from the Galerie Neue Meister
Oktober 1, 2011 to Januar 8, 2012, Kunsthalle im Lipsiusbau (Exhibiton hall of the Lipsiusbau)
In the 1920s Dresden, long established as a city of art, became an important centre of the artistic styles known as "Neue Sachlichkeit" (New Objectivity) and Verism. For the first time, a special exhibition is being devoted to this phenomenon in Dresden, in which it will be possible to draw comparisons with other artistic centres in Germany. With cool distance and razor-sharp precision, painters depicted the world around them in paintings which leave an impression of extreme realism.
A selection of works by more than 70 artists will enable visitors to gain new perspectives on familiar paintings by viewing them in their contemporary artistic context and at the same time to discover hitherto little-known artists whose works are of exceptional quality. The point of departure for the research accompanying the exhibition was the collection held in the Galerie Neue Meister. Important works on loan from other renowned museums will provide a broader view of this artistic current reflecting the period of the Weimar Republic, with its problems of inflation, short-term stabilisation and political unrest.
Fastidious training in drawing at the Dresden Kunstakademie and Kunstgewerbeschule moulded an entire generation of artists, including Otto Dix, George Grosz, Otto Griebel, Hans Grundig, Wilhelm Lachnit and Bernhard Kretzschmar. They produced disillusioned images of unemployed people, war invalids and prostitutes as well as portraits of working women and children, expressing the artists' desire for social change. At the end of the 1920s, against the backdrop of the Wall Street Crash and the subsequent Great Depression, the students of Otto Dix's paint shop – among them Curt Querner, Rudolf Bergander and Willy Wolff – again turned their attention to sociocritical themes.
"Neue Sachlichkeit" (New Objectivity) combined biting irony and social criticism with old-masterly elegance and Neo-Romantic ideas. The spectrum of the artists' personal styles ranges from powerfully naive painting to rigid construction to tranquil traditionalism. Franz Radziwill, for example, produced unconventional landscapes in Dresden, while Richard Oelze and Franz Lenk painted strangely alienated still-lifes. The main interest of nearly all the artists was, however, portraiture: whimsical and ordinary, touching and sometimes also sophisticated faces painted with a fine brush, often using the technique of layer painting employed by the Old Masters.
The exhibition will encompass around 140 paintings and about 40 drawings and prints. These will be complemented by selected sculptures and photographs from the holdings of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden as well as explanations about painting techniques along with photographs and films documenting events in Dresden in the 1920s. An accompanying series of talks will also investigate additional themes from the fields of architecture, literature and history.

Consensus mapping and identification of markers for marker-assisted selection of Wsm2 in wheat. Crop Science. 52:720-728. Interpretive Summary: Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) is an important wheat pathogen that affects most wheat growing areas in the Great Plains of the USA. Wsm2 is a newly identified gene that confers a high level of resistance to WSMV. To facilitate deployment of this new gene in breeding programs, we identified DNA markers near Wsm2. The marker Xbarc102 was associated with Wsm2 in all 22 wheat lines derived from crosses with one parent carrying Wsm2. Therefore, this marker should be useful for marker-assisted selection of Wsm2 in breeding programs.
Technical Abstract: A recently identified Wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) resistance gene Wsm2 confers a high level of resistance. Objective of this study was to identify closely linked DNA markers for Wsm2 for use in marker-assisted selection (MAS) in wheat. Two segregating populations (CO960293-2/'TAM 111' and CO960293-2/'Yuma') of F2:3 families were evaluated for response to WSMV infection in growth chamber experiments. Forty-eight simple sequence repeat (SSR) or sequence-tagged site (STS) markers were screened for polymorphism between the parents of both populations. In the CO960293-2/TAM 111 population, five markers were mapped to the region of Wsm2 with XSTS3B-55 being the closest marker (5.2 cM distal to Wsm2). In the CO960293-2/Yuma population, eight markers were linked to Wsm2 with the closest marker Xbarc102 linked at 3.9 cM proximal to Wsm2. Results from consensus mapping of the two populations suggested that Xbarc102 was distal to Wsm2. The marker Xbarc102 was associated with Wsm2 in all 22 wheat lines derived from crosses between susceptible parents and either CO960293-2 or RonL (also carrying Wsm2). The marker allele Xbarc102-219 bp present in CO960293-2 was amplified in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from Wsm2-carrying genotypes CO960293-w133, RonL, and Snowmass but not from the resistant line KS96HW10-3 (carrying Wsm1), or the susceptible genotypes 'Karl 92', 'TAM 107', and N96L9970. Therefore, this marker should be useful for MAS of Wsm2 in breeding programs.

As I was leaving the theater last weekend after seeing "Transcendence," starring Johnny Depp ("Pirates of the Caribbean"), I thought of last year's "Oblivion," because I feel pretty confident that this will be another movie I enjoyed, but few others will.
I can see where director Wally Pfister was going with this movie, attempting to combine heady science fiction concepts into a mainstream blockbuster in the vein of "Inception." Unfortunately, the balance is off too much to garner a widespread acceptance, but for myself, I enjoyed the debates and a story which provided a few unexpected turns that I'm sure would have sparked an interesting conversation if I hadn't seen it by myself.
The film is rated PG-13 for sci-fi action and violence, some bloody images, brief strong language and sensuality.

If so, I would suggest that you'd be better off forgetting about carrying the spare mags, and carrying a small, light BUG instead. One of the main reasons I carry a BUG is for off-hand (weak side) access, or in case of injury to my primary hand/arm.
If you can carry spare mags, you can carry a small BUG.
The idea that folks who carry a BUG are paranoid is somewhat laughable, as that is the very same thing that anti-gunners say about those of us who carry a sidearm at all..."Whaddaya need a gun for? You scared or sumfin?" :rolleyes:

Federal Investment is Critical as Preschool Programs Face Decreased Funding, Stalled Enrollment
Apr 30, 2013
By Stephanie Schmit and Emily Firgens
As the early childhood community rallies around President Obama's recent budget proposal to expand access to high-quality early learning for young children, a critical foundation of that proposal (pre-kindergarten) continues to erode. The State of Preschool 2012 released by the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER) this week reports that nationally, investments by states in pre-kindergarten programs have declined dramatically, dropping by over half a billion dollars from 2011 to 2012 - the largest one year funding drop since NIEER began collecting data in the 2001-2002 school year.
NIEER found that in 2012, states spent on average $3,841 per child in their preschool programs. Adjusted for inflation this is a $1,100 dollar decrease since 2001-2002. Twenty seven of the 40 states that offer state-funded pre-kindergarten programs cut spending in 2011-2012. As funding decreased, enrollment in programs showed little change - forcing programs to do more with less. Programs served 1,333,663 children in 2011-2012 compared to 1,323,128 children in 2010-2011. Nationally, state-funded pre-kindergarten programs enrolled the same percentage of children as last year-28 percent of 4-year-olds and 4 percent of 3-year-olds. The District of Columbia served the highest number of both 3-and 4-year-olds, 69 percent and 92 percent, respectively. Florida and Oklahoma each served more than 70 percent of 4-year-olds in their state.
NIEER's annual Yearbook chronicles state investments and policies on state-operated preschool programs that provide early education at least two days per week to 3- and 4-year-olds. NIEER included state Head Start investments in its analysis, if those investments expanded access to services for additional children.
Across the country, greater investments in preschool programs are essential. Young, vulnerable children and their families depend on preschool and other child care and early education programs for critical support. To show our commitment to the investments the President is proposing for early learning, CLASP, together with our partners from the Strong Start for Children campaign, are collecting thank you notes from across the country and delivering them to the White House.
We hope you will join us in thanking President Obama by mailing CLASP your hardcopy letters (a drawing or hand print by a child on your letter would be great) to deliver to the White House. Please send your letters and drawings by Thursday, May 2 to: Emily Firgens, CLASP, 1200 18th ST NW, Suite 200, Washington DC, 20036 or email@example.com. Thank you, and please contact Emily Firgens at email@example.com or 202-906-8031 if you have any questions.

Spanish club Celta Vigo have launched their new adidas home and away kits for the 2013/14 season. The club was founded on 23 August 1923 and will be commemorating their 90th anniversary next season. The club have recently announced that former AS Roma coach Luis Enrique is the new club head coach.
The new Celta Vigo home shirt is mainly light blue with black detail. The adidas 3-stripes are in black on the shoulders with the adidas logo in black on the top right part of the chest. As for their away fixtures, Celta Vigo will be playing in primarily black shirts with the upper part of the chest in light blue. Club sponsor Citroen has its logo across the front of both home and away shirts.

It would be even cooler if we could actually buy them somewhere online 😉
Superb shirts, colours work well for the away shirt template.
Doctor's Your Uncle
The home shirt is great. I like the collar very much. The away shirt template makes the sirt look a bit cluttered. I wish they would use a simpler, one-colour Citroën logo, though.
El Patriato
superb kits!! the color combination stands out pretty well!!
Sául C'a
It is a template.
Good design but home should be blue/white. Away is good, colours work well.
Miki Mileski
Peter Cale
This looks awsome
oliver khan springs to mind.tho no bad looking they look like goalie tops
That's nice.
Even the sponsor looks nice.
Audrey Dixon
Best effort I've seen by Adidas in a long time, anywhere. And why? It's not a template.
i love the colours but its not Celta Vigo colours and the away works but i don't don't like that jagged line thing would look so much better if it stop at the collar on both sides
Rooney Is Soooo Ugly
lovely smart and classy home . really cool away kit too
Quality shirts right here!
Even though people will shout 'TEMPLATE'
These kits, especially the Away, probably because of Celta's colours, are GAWWWJUZZZZ
Very nice looking kits! I'd wear either one of them.
That away kit is something lovely.
Bob Martin Efc
wow!! that away is sublime!! colours work really well
WOW! Think I'm in love.

QR codes pop up at river museum
By Erik Hogstrom TH Staff Writer
Scan the matrix-like bar code with a smart phone app, and up pops promotional information for a film at The National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium.
"It's the next thing in marketing," said John Sutter, the river museum's marketing director.
The river museum is introducing a technology called QR codes into its marketing efforts, with an eye toward expanded use throughout the Port of Dubuque facility.
Developed in Japan in the mid-1990s, the QR code stands for "quick response code," because smart phones can decipher information packed into its square confines at high speed.
"It's a relatively new tool, and we're excited about it," Sutter said.
Bar code-reading applications scan the code using the smart phone's camera feature, then render the information into a website on the smart phone's browser.
"We talked to our ad agency about creating a mobile (river museum) webpage for smart phones," Sutter said.
That webpage should be completed in January. Once online, QR codes can direct smart phone users to that mobile page.
"With these QR codes, people can use that instead of typing a URL into a browser," Sutter said. "It makes it easier for people."
Sutter envisions placing QR codes for the museum in print ads, movie posters and other promotional material. "People won't have to carry around a brochure," he said. "A QR code could go to a page where they can download a PDF of the brochure."
Eventually, the museum could incorporate QR codes into exhibits. A code could augment an exhibit by directing smart phone users to videos, event schedules or other websites.
"The possibilities are enormous," Sutter said.

Green ID markers
Hello everybody I hope you are all well and earning enough. I have just recieved the new mini cab,sorry Taxi driver ID markers that I'm supposed to fit in the front and rear windows of my cab and I can't help feeling that they look very much like the identifying badges that are fitted in the windows of mini cabs.
I will get round to putting them in the windows,well I have got to haven't I,but I don't remember anybody asking me for my opinion. The thing that worries me is that any person that has a mind to can just take your badge number and make a complaint to TfL. I know that this is unlikely,but having beeen on the receiving end of a baseless complaint it is a bit of a worry. The other thing that I have noticed is that cabs with liveries that cover the rear windows obscure the rear label/badge/sticker or whatever it is called,very much like the way that you can't see the little badges on the rear windows of mini cabs that have blacked out windows.
Meanwhile in my world I have been thinking of going back to being a owner driver. I have been renting for a couple of years now and have loved the freedom of not having to worry if the cab goes wrong and would recommend my garage,Hexagon, to anyone thinking of going down the renting route. But I have had the longing for a newer cab and have decided to see what it will cost. Theres nothing set in stone yet but I have started to get some prices.
At the weekend I saw a piece in the paper about Diane Abbott, now I know that this story has been done to death but you have to wonder how somebody with her attitude can hold on to a place in parliament.
I often get asked,when people find out I drive a cab,why they can't get one when they need it. But when I ask if they look to make sure that the light is on and the driver hasn't already got a fare,or tell them that they have to make sure thay don't try to hail a cab when they are standing at a place where a cab can't stop, I;E red route,bus stop etc or even make sure they aren't with somebody that is so pis%^d and covered in their own lunch that they need hosing down,they look at me as if I'm mad.
Another thing that I've noticed is that a lot of cabs have now had the new chip & pin credit card machines fitted and they all seem to have a telly screen fitted in the back of the cab,it seems that a lot of drivers or punters don't like them as they seem to be covering them with coats etc. Now I know that Radio Taxis will be fitting all their fleet with these bits of kit in the next few months and therefore I'll be getting one. I do hope that they come with an on/off switch as some of the things that I have seen going on in the rear of my cab are best kept in the dark!
Well thats me done for now, I'll be back soon with more from the world of Cabby Del Boy.

Often if you spray the base dryer, use a fast reducer and let it flash good you can get away with it.
If it's a real small place you can get away with murder, you don't want to push this out too far though the adhesion can be poor because you aren't spraying wet enough for it to stick to the previous coat good.
But I have pushed this to the limit, I am talking "dusting" a little base over, NO WHERE NEAR coverage, I am talking something like "overspray" no where near a "coat". Just dust some, leave it for a while and come back and dust a little more, leave it. Build up a layer over the top of that sensitive area one dust after another until you have it covered. Then a "light coat" to distribute the metallic properly and to get it a "little" wet so it sticks around the edges. Let that flash a long time, depending on the shop temp, we could be talking hours. Then come back and clear over it.
This is a gamble, but you would be surprised how much you can get away with. Like I said, it's cheating and if you push it with too large of an area you are going to have trouble though.
But think about it, if the solvent in the base is what is causing this lifting, the and no solvent (paint) painted there it doesn't lift, there is a point of solvent you could apply there, a very tiny amount that won't lift it. So you do just that, apply that tiny amount. Then again, and again, and again until it's covered. Once it's covered it is often a barrier.
The best way is to sand that area out and get some primer down. But that too can lift it, and you have to spray the primer real dry too. Or use a water borne primer which will cover just about anything.

Global systems of production and consumption generate a complex mixture of environmental, social and economic costs and benefits — supporting livelihoods across the value chain, but also accounting for much of humanity's burden on the environment. Managing the diverse impacts is a central challenge in the transition to a green economy.
Efforts to monitor and manage society's pressures on the environment have tended to focus on production.
Yet there are good reasons for considering consumption — in both analysis and policy — to be of equal importance.
Consumption is today recognised as a core concern in long-term environmental and development strategies.
Globally, governments at the Rio+20 Conference in 2012 adopted the '10-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production'. The programmes set objectives and define activities and indicators, addressing issues such as sustainable lifestyles, education, tourism and buildings.[1]
In the EU, the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe[2] provides a framework for policies addressing production and consumption, and defines milestones to be met by 2020, for example phasing out environmentally harmful subsidies by 2020.
More recently, the 7th Environment Action Programme (7th EAP) is the first EU policy to include goals on reducing environmental pressures caused by European consumption, including impacts outside EU borders.[3]
Consumption consists of household final consumption expenditure (i.e. all purchases by resident households to meet their everyday needs) and government final consumption expenditure (i.e. goods and services provided to citizens and financed by tax revenues). This assessment focuses on household consumption, which accounts for approximately 60% of EU-28 gross domestic product (GDP), compared to about 20% for government consumption.
Household consumption expenditure in the EU-28, Iceland and Norway grew roughly in line with economic output in the period 1996–2012, increasing by 23% in real terms despite a slight fall following the economic crisis. EU-28 per capita household consumption expenditure was EUR 14 500 in 2012.[4]
Three broad consumption categories — housing and utilities, mobility, and food — account for approximately half of European household expenditure (Figure 1) and more than two-thirds of the direct and indirect environmental pressures caused by household consumption.[5][6][7] The EU prioritised these categories for action in the Roadmap to a Resource Efficient Europe and the 7th EAP in view of their comparatively large life-cycle impacts.
The resources and emissions caused during the production of products and services can be estimated using 'environmentally extended input-output analysis'. According to this method, most of the global environmental pressures associated with EU-27 household consumption declined or grew less rapidly than household expenditure between 1996 and 2009. Only water use increased more than expenditure in this period (Figure 2).
The dominant cause of this decoupling of pressures from expenditure was improved eco-efficiency in the production of goods and services, rather than changing consumption patterns.[5]
The growth in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions illustrated in Figure 2 contrasts with the decreasing trends for EU emissions calculated using production-based methods.[8] However, some uncertainties still remain with calculating the environmental pressures from consumption, and further development of tools and methodologies is needed.
While acknowledging these limitations, the data do indicate that an increasing proportion of the environmental pressures linked to European demand occurs in other parts of the world. In 1995, 13% of GHG emissions caused by EU domestic final demand (i.e. total consumption and investment expenditures) were released outside the EU during the production of goods exported to the EU. By 2008, this had risen to 24% (Figure 3). The figures are higher for other pressures.[9]
For some categories of goods and services a substantial proportion of final consumption is supplied directly by imported goods. Imports accounted for 87% of EU clothing expenditure in 2012, rising from 65% in 2005. Imports of electrical and electronic products accounted for 74% of EU consumption in 2012, up from 50% in 2007. Net imports of these products are somewhat lower but they are also increasing.[9]
Measures that alter European consumption can influence related environmental pressures globally. However, such gains may be offset by increased pressures elsewhere if consumption-oriented approaches are not complemented by broader efforts to reorganise production-consumption systems. For example, reducing food waste can reduce demand for agricultural resources, alleviating associated environmental impacts. But it may also leave a consumer with extra resources to spend on other consumption categories, resulting in a form of rebound effect.[10]
Global economic output is projected to triple in the period 2010–2050,[11] implying greatly increased competition for resources. In this context, Europe will need to find ways to adapt its consumption patterns as part of broader efforts to alleviate environmental pressures. A variety of approaches exist to make consumption patterns more sustainable. Some are already firmly established in EU policy, such as the Ecodesign Directive, the Energy Labelling Directive,[12] the Ecolabel Regulation,[13] and the Green Public Procurement Communication.[14] The European Commission has also adopted a harmonised method to calculate the environmental performance of products and organisations.[15] This method will help deliver more credible information to all stakeholders, including consumers.
While these approaches are important, substantially reducing the European environmental footprint will require deeper changes in lifestyles, including in the size and location of dwellings, commuting patterns and diets. Government measures are only part of the solution in effecting such transitions. Consumption patterns are shaped by multiple drivers, including income levels, prices and social norms. Producers play a crucial role in determining these factors, for example via innovation and advertising. Reshaping consumption therefore involves a complex interaction between governments, businesses and consumers.
Consumers can have a significant influence over production-phase impacts via their purchasing decisions, thereby incentivising corporate social responsibility and sustainable supply-chain management. Businesses can work towards transparent, sustainable supply chains and apply ecodesign and dematerialisation strategies in product design. They can also shape consumer choices via marketing and use of certification.[16]
Government policy at all levels can help incentivise social and technical innovation through the introduction of regulations and market-based incentives. For example, within the waste policy framework, bottom-up initiatives have emerged to enable waste prevention, repair and reuse. This has occurred via increased donation, sale and purchase of second-hand goods.
Collaborative consumption initiatives are likewise proliferating in many European countries. Such approaches could reduce the resource-intensity of consumption by meeting consumer needs through leasing, product-service systems and sharing arrangements, rather than purchases. Shifting away from a logic of maximising product sales towards one of service provision can fundamentally alter the incentives driving product development, encouraging a greater focus on durability and reparability.[17][18]
There are many business opportunities within such new approaches, as well as opportunities to build social capital at the community level.[19] Policies should enable and encourage initiatives with the highest potential to reduce overall environmental impacts from European consumption, and support up-scaling by developing favourable framework conditions. Structured monitoring of these innovations and their environmental effects, including possible rebound effects, will be crucial.]]>

Truffles are synonymous with Italy. The white Alba truffle is the principal prize in Piedmont. To sniff them out, dogs are specially trained using cheese scented with truffles. Black truffles from Norcia, in Umbria, are not as highly prized, but in my opinion have more flavor. Winter truffles, d'inverno, have more flavor than those of the summer, l'estate.
Serves 4
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 black truffle, sliced, or 2 ounces
dried porcini, reconstituted (see below)
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
a handful of fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
10 ounces spaghetti
a handful of fresh basil, finely torn
freshly grated Parmesan to taste
1. Heat the oil in a heavy pan, add the truffle or drained porcini, and cook gently for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the garlic and parsley. Return to the heat and cook gently for a few more minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
2. Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling, salted water until al dente. Drain thoroughly, then pile into a warm serving dish.
3. Pour the sauce over the spaghetti, mix well, then sprinkle the basil leaves over the top. Serve with plenty of Parmesan.
To reconstitute dried porcini, always use coldwater so as not to draw out too much flavor from the mushrooms themselves. Use a minimum quantity of water, for the same reason. Cover the mushrooms with water in a bowl and leave for 10 ininutes. Pick them out of the water rather than strain them through a sieve (thus leaving any grit in the bowl). You could use the strained soaking water as stock in another dish.

ELEVATE Volvo V50 Slotted Brake Rotors
- Sold Individually (Single Rotor)
- Top quality rotor castings with precise machining and finishing
- Aggressive, performance looks
- Optimized slot pattern for increased performance
- Bright silver zinc plated to resist rust and corrosion
- No Modifications needed – direct replacement
- Easy installation
- Sold individually
ELEVATE is proud to offer our performance engineered Volvo V50 Performance Slotted Brake Rotors. Designed as direct replacements for the factory rotors, but with several added benefits any enthusiast will appreciate. Starting with select, premium iron, our rotors are cast using the latest technology for superior strength and longevity. For precision performance, a double disc grinding process on the rotor friction surfaces ensures near zero run-out and quick bedding of the brake pads.
CNC machined slot pattern allows the edges of the slots to continuously clean and refresh the pad surface. This will allow the pads to have a maximized friction surface always available. Additionally, they prevent containments from collecting between the pad and disc interface. Slots also prevent the formation of a water film on the disc in wet weather, maintaining the best brake response. Finally, the machined rotors are bright silver zinc plated to resist rust and provide enduring good looks. ELEVATE does not offer nor recommend drilled rotors because drilled rotors will form cracks (no matter what "treatments" are done to them) under any high performance driving situations. Sold as individual rotors. An excellent value as replacements for factory rotors.

text: Because of all the recent scandals in PF.com fantasy sports leagues, the forum put out a directive to find an honest, fair, and dedicated commissioner who actually has some morals and integrity. Since no forum members fit that description, I have been appointed as the PF.com Fantasy Baseball 2008 commissioner. Last year, we had a head-to-head league consisting of 10 managers. The competition was fierce, but somehow Darth:winner_first_h4h:, Webz, and Roscoe ended up at the top of the standings when the dust settled. Their was a 13-year-old kid competing in his first fantasy sports league. I'm sure he must have just been lucky to beat the likes of Gazoo, Woody, and Jammer. Right now, I'm looking for managers. If you're interested in joining our league, please post below. It isn't as time-consuming as you might think. Plus, it should be a great time.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Your decision about what to do would be largely based on the outcome you expect. If you believe that this visit would only be a fling even if it involves sexual intimacy then that is all it is. If on the other hand you believe that he is going to seek a relationship even a long distance one it is another. Of course, with the distance being an issue, you've got to ask yourself what sort of a relationship that would be.
He may believe that sexual intimacy is possible because he knows how you feel about him. Yet, some things are best left in the past. Whatever you have had or could have had at one point in your life does not mean it would be the same now.
It may be best to do what is safer and not get hurt.
There is nothing wrong in seeing him and having some time to catch up on things. Your feelings serve you a purpose (whatever that is only you know)
You may be found of him and holding onto the feelings from the past (in a way wanting to re experience them) Change is good and there is always going to be change in one's life. As long as you know what you want, then pursue it (that involves risk taking).

Kings Of Leon's Jared Followill Is Engaged To Model Martha Patterson
Jared Followill, 25, popped the question with a four-carat cushion-cut diamond, set on a diamond band, which he designed himself.
His representative told Just Jared: "Yes, it's true! Jared proposed to Martha on April 11 at his home in Nashville and we're all excited for the newly engaged couple."
Jared wrote on his Twitter page: "It's true! I'm engaged! CANNOT wait to finally lose my virginity (sic)."
The couple plan to divide their time between their homes in Nashville and Los Angeles. Martha raised speculation that her rocker beau had proposed last month when she tweeted, "What a beautiful, wonderfully perfect day," and was spotted wearing the ring as they partied at Coachella music festival.
The wedding date has not yet been revealed.

Retroactive Child Support
Locate a Local Family Lawyer
What Is Retroactive Child Support?
Retroactive child support refers to child support payments that were missed or weren't paid in the past. Non-custodial parents often have a duty to pay child support. If a parent has failed to pay child support, the judge may order them to make up for the missed payments.
Retroactive child support is similar to what is known as "child support arrearages." With arrearages, the parent also must make up for payments they missed in the past. However, the retroactive refers to the time period before a permanent child support order was issued. Child support arrearages cover the time period after a permanent support order was issued.
When Is Retroactive Child Support Required?
First, the judge must determine whether the parent and child are eligible for this type of order. Retroactive payments may be awarded if:
- The non-custodial parent had concealed some of their assets or finances in order to intentionally avoid paying support
- The non-custodial parent acted in a way to delay a final hearing on child support
- The court concludes that there is a demonstrated need for retroactive support
How Is Retroactive Child Support Calculated?
Next, the court will make calculations to determine the amount of child support that must be paid. As in all child support and custody hearings, all determinations are made with the child's best interest in mind, and not those of the parents.
When calculating child support amounts, these factors will usually be considered:
- The needs and requirements of the child
- The income of the non-custodial parent at the time in question
- Whether the non-paying parent knew that support was needed
- Whether the non-paying parent previously paid support payments
Finally, one of the main issues that needs to be resolved is the period of time when payments were missed. As mentioned, the term retroactive usually only covers the time before a child support order was finalized. However, the time period can often go back as far as the date of the parent's separation.
How Can I Get My Child's Parent to Pay Retroactive Child Support?
A parent who wishes to obtain retroactive child support would have to request for this specifically in court. It is not mandatory or required, and a discussion regarding it is usually not a part of most hearings. A request can be denied if the judge determines that there is no evidence in support of the claim.
What If They Refuse to Follow the Order?
As with all court orders, a retroactive child support order is enforceable by law. Failure to follow the terms of an order can have drastic consequences for a non-paying parent.
Penalties for not paying child support can include possible criminal charges (such as contempt of court). This can result in a fine and/or a possible jail sentence. Failing to make the payments can also result in a loss of privileges, such as visitation and custody rights.
Finally, it is possible for the non-paying parent to be sued in a civil court, especially if it can be proven that the failure to pay had caused the child serious harm or loss.
Should I Contact a Lawyer for Help with Retroactive Child Support Payments?
If you have any issues regarding child support, a family lawyer can be of much assistance to you. Child support laws can be complex, and they may be very different from state to state. An experienced attorney can help you file the necessary forms and documents in court to support your claim.

More than 400 people have joined a social media group advocating for the preservation of the Top-O-Rock home, which is perched on the hill of Charleston's South Side.
Jennifer Peters, a Charleston resident, started Save Top-O-Rock on Facebook around 10 a.m. and had hundreds of members join in a matter of hours, she said.
"I was overwhelmed by the response," Peters said Wednesday evening.
The iconic home could be demolished. Rodney Loftis, Jr., of Rodney Loftis & Son Contractors said he and Dr. Mitchell Rashid — Top-O-Rock's current owner — are discussing the project.
The city's Building Commission received reports Monday that the 10,000-square-foot house and studio had been vandalized. Many of its windows were broken and graffiti now covers much of the structure's interior.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Loftis said a job had been agreed to, but a contract had not been drawn up or signed.
Rashid did not return the Gazette's calls for comment Wednesday.
Peters moved to Charleston in 1978 with her mother and said Top-O-Rock was one of the first places she saw.
"Whenever I drive back into Charleston, and I see that house, I'm welcomed home," Peters said. "I feel like I'm not giving it justice for what it means for me and the community, but I would hate to see a magnificent example of organic structure and design demolished."
Ted Elden, son of architect Henry Elden, who built Top-O-Rock, called the structure home and worked there for a time after he graduated architecture school. While he was uncertain about Top-O-Rock's future, Ted Elden said tearing it down would be a mistake.
"[Rashid] can do it, but he ought to get the shame of the city — to take down a pearl and replace it with cardboard," Ted Elden said of the building.
Ted Elden suggested — upon its restoration — Top-O-Rock could be used for public use, such as a museum or art gallery.
"People have always treated the building as if it was a public place, and we always responded the same," Ted Elden said.
Henry Elden not only lived in Top-O-Rock, but also housed there his studio and architects who worked under him. It wasn't uncommon for visitors to show up and wander around the property, Ted Elden said.
Charleston architect Lloyd W. Miller called Top-O-Rock "quite masterful." Miller interned with Henry Elden during the summer in high school and college. He came to work for him in 1978.
"It was a very good experience," Miller said. "As a recent graduate, Mr. Elden provided me an opportunity to develop and advance my skills. I progressed quickly."
Miller said he believes a building in disrepair can be brought "back to life again," and that applied to Top-O-Rock.
"It's possible to do, you just have to find someone with the wherewithal to do it," Miller said.
Peters said she hopes the Save Top-O-Rock group will be able to work with Rashid to come up with a solution for the home other than demolition. She is looking for ideas and resources that might help fulfill that goal. Peters said she doesn't want the group to focus on negativity or blaming anyone for Top-O-Rock's current state.
"What's done is done, but we can move forward from this," Peters said. "We have a chance to save a special place in Charleston."

Cumberland murder suspects in court
The two men accused of killing a Cumberland girl and her uncle could spend the rest of their lives in prison. Just ten days after the shocking crime, the prosecutor filed murder and other charges against the pair.
Michael Bell, 22, and Jeremy Priel, 25, left court knowing they may never be free again. If convicted, both young men could be sentenced to well over a hundred years in prison. They are charged with murdering 21-year-old Jeremy Crane and his seven-year-old niece Kyleigh as well as robbery and handgun violations.
The victim's family, who have spoken frequently of the crimes, left the hearing quickly and quietly. Bell was a close and trusted friend who lived with the Crane family at one point. It was the first time they'd seen him since the murders.
Deputy prosecutor Denise Robinson spoke for them.
"It is a trying time. They just buried their family members and now they are starting the court process which is overwhelming for anyone who's so involved with it, so they prefer to keep to themselves today," said Robinson.
The judge entered not guilty pleas and appointed public defenders to represent Ball and Priel. The conflicting statements both men gave police implicate each other for the murders.
"He's not a murderer," said Trisha Dunlap.
Dunlap says she's been friends with Michael Bell since the fifth grade. "It doesn't make any sense at all, why anybody would do anything like this. I still think he's innocent," she said.
Prosecutors say police collected a substantial amount of physical evidence, as well as witnesses statements. However, it is not clear which man actually fired the shots that killed the victims.
"It is not required to prove who pulled the trigger. Under Indiana law, both are equally culpable," said Robinson.
Still, at least one legal expert thinks not knowing who pulled the trigger could raise doubts among jurors and make the case more difficult to prove.
"It is not going to be a slam dunk, the same way when there is one person," said Joel Schumm, an Indiana University clinical professor of law.
Schumm says not knowing who fired the shots complicates the case.
"When the standard is beyond reasonable doubt and if you have lawyers vigorously contesting the evidence, it makes it a little more difficult than if you just have one person," he said.
The judge scheduled the trial to begin in late February. Given the seriousness and complexity of the crimes, it's likely that trial date will be pushed back.
Case background
Police say it was Bell's desire for a tattoo that led to a plan to steal video games from Jeremy Crane. It was a plan that ultimately led to the murders of Crane and his seven-year-old niece Kyleigh.
Bell told police he took Priel to Jeremy Crane's house. According to Bell, their plan was for Bell to go inside. Then Priel would come in and rob everyone.
Bell says once inside he went to the bathroom and he came out to see Priel shoot Jeremy Crane twice. Bell told police he grabbed the video games and ran outside and then heard another gunshot.
According to court documents, Bell wanted to steal the video games so Priel would do tattoo work for him. Bell's account differs from Priel's, who says he never went inside the Crane house.
Investigators say right now they don't know who pulled the trigger.
Suggested Links
Jeremy Crane's girlfriend doesn't care who did. She says both are responsible. The last time she heard from her boyfriend was via text.
"He was texting me right before. I thought he fell asleep. But when he didn't show to pick me up for school I knew something was wrong. I didn't know what, but I knew [it was] something," said Angel Dick. "But if you were there and you didn't stop it, you are just as guilty. I mean a seven-year-old who I'm sure had to be crying."
The probable cause affidavit says the Xbox and PlayStation Bell and Priel allegedly took were ultimately sold for $40 and an ounce of marijuana.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) announced today that Rep. Joe Heck (R-NV), an Army reserve physician, will highlight bipartisan efforts to combat veterans unemployment in the Weekly Republican Address for November 12, 2011. As part of a Veterans Day tribute, Rep. Heck will talk about how important it is to lend a hand to our veterans as they look for work in an economy struggling to create jobs. Last month, the House overwhelmingly passed the Veterans Opportunity to Work Act, which the Senate approved today.
"It is an honor to deliver the Weekly Republican Address on Veterans Day weekend. The men and women who risk their lives to protect our freedoms hold a special place in our nation's heart." Rep. Heck said. "As our veterans transition to civilian life, they face a new challenge: finding a good-paying job. The 12.1 percent unemployment rate among veterans who have served since 9/11 is above the average unemployment rate in every state except my home state of Nevada, which is 13.4 percent. Both are unacceptable. We must ensure all Americans have the opportunity to find gainful employment, and that's what we are working towards."
Joe Heck is in his first term representing the Third Congressional District of Nevada. He is a colonel in the Army Reserve with more than 20 years of service, deploying most recently in 2008 to Iraq. He serves on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Education and Workforce Committee, and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence where he serves as Subcommittee Chairman for Technical and Tactical Intelligence.
"Veterans Day affords us the opportunity to honor the brave patriots who have answered the call to serve and protect this great nation," Speaker Boehner said. "Joe Heck has served with our men and women in uniform, and is working to ensure they have our full support in the face of a tough economy."
The text and the audio of the Weekly Republican Address will be available tomorrow, Friday, November 11 at 3:00 p.m. EST on http://speaker.gov/. It will be embargoed until Saturday, November 12 at 6:00 a.m. EST, at which time it will be available here for viewing and here for downloading.

Unfortunately, many police chiefs and administrators are locked up in their ivory towers and have forgotten what it's like to be a street cop. I daresay that rank and file police officers, nationwide, are generally in favor of CCW laws.
Witness the ridiculous restrictive language in Ohio's CCW law that was demanded by the Ohio Highway Patrol. You can bet it wasn't the troopers on the road that wanted the restrictions in the law.
