Perfect Childproofing
By Kelly
from Omaha, NE
My one year old daughter would constantly crawl over and under things to get to the power strip where she would turn the strip on and off. I wasn't able to hide the strip behind any furniture so I figured I would give this a try. It was so easy to use, and there is no way that my daughter can open the container. It is also designed in a way that it should fit any power strip.
Works well!

About Me Parent of Two or More Children
This prevents little hands from playing with the cords (plugging in and taking cords out) and from turning on and off power strip.

Works well for us
By Shannon
from Philadelphia
This only fits the smaller power strips. We bought 2 of these and so far they seem to be holding up. My little one can not get to the outlets ;)

They do the job
By CBD
from CA
They do the job of keeping busy hands from pulling plugs out. The construction is poor, as the plastic is slightly warped, making it difficult to align the closure tabs. Adding or taking out plugs becomes a chore. I have also successfully used this device for extension cords with 3 outlets, so it is more versatile than just power strips.

does what it says!
By prazenjc
from chicagoland
i travel a lot for work, so i have to remove my phone charger almost weekly. since it isn't the easiest to close, it can be a regularly frustrating experience. but, if you have a space where you won't have to remove the plugs/cords often, then no problem.
It would be good...but
By Abby's Mama
from Hot Sticky Florida
Well...this would have been great. However, it's not wide enough for my surge protectors. Also, it doesn't protect from the wires, just the outlet. My daughter is more interested in the wires, even though we want to protect her from the outlet as well. It would be good for surge protectors that are single strips, unlike my double strip.
Good product
By Melissa
from Humble, TX
Gave it a 4 instead of 5 because it's a little bigger than I thought it'd be. But if you've got huge ac adaptors, I can see reason for the size. Definitely gives peace of mind knowing that no one can mess with the power strip. It's difficult for any kid to open. My very busy crawler was attracted to the glowing on/off switch on all power strips in the house. This is the perfect remedy to her curiosity.
Functional and easy to use!
By Stay at Home Sara
from Minneapolis, MN
This product is perfect for keeping little curious fingers away from power strips. I like that there are two compartments; the first compartment for all of the plug in holes, and the second compartment for the power strip's on/off switch (perfect for turning off the power at night to save energy). Wonderfully designed product perfect for protecting little ones against electric shocks!
Excellent Product!
By Heather and Ronan
from Pauls Valley, OK
This is one of the best child-proofing products for our home. Older homes don't have many outlets, so we are forced to use a lot of power strips. Not only does the strip cover keep my 2-year-old from dangerous exploration, it automatically makes the mess look way better. If you have to have an exposed strip, you need one of these.
By msmscooby
from Canajoharie, N.Y.
The powerstrip is great to keep my 2 year old and my 5 year old from touching the outlets and getting shocked. The only bad thing is that I have a hard time opening it.
Childproof power strip safety cover
By 1st time mom
from NY
This is a great product. It keeps the power strip out of my son's reach. However, when installing it, we had some difficulty because the power strip we had was thicker than the full length of the product. The end part that slopes down got in the way of the cover closing fully. We changed the power strip and it worked.

It is with great pleasure that I announce that Marvins tremendous tenure as Facilities Engineer has, sadly, come to an end. He had asked to be able to step down, and after scouring hi and low I managed to scrape someone off a rock! Please welcome Daniel Hawton, formerly of Jacksonville ARTCC, to our humble halls. He has some big shoes to fill, but with a bit of cotton and some lessons from the circus I think he can manage it.
Please join me in congratulating the following people for having the Top 5 Hours in February 2013: Bob Baxter, Matthew McMahon, Ed Kraus, Jim Rosado, Marvin Palmer. Well done to everyone, lets keep up the great work and remember...the event is 22Mar!
Congratulations are in order for Nathan Tilley being selected as our newest mentor!
Congratulations to Robert Baxter, Jim Rosado, Ed Kraus, Matt McMahon, and Marvin Palmer on achieving the top 5 controller hours for January! That is 3 months in the top 5 list for Jim, well done indeed!
This was the best FNO I have been able to attend. Sadly there are so many controllers to say thank you to. From Seattle to Anchorage was a fantastic trip, a lot of traffic. All the controllers did a amazing job with professionalism. I have not sure what else I could ever say how much I enjoyed talking to them. Excellent service from start to finish great job!

If you've ever tried to jazz up a party with the speaker built into your iPhone, you know how pathetic that can sound. These days, everyone is coming out with portable speaker systems (don't call them boomboxes!) for MP3 players, but they all require one thing: Power. Now, we all love power, but AC power isn't always available where we want to party (eg. poolside or the beach). And while the battery run time on some portable players is impressive, it's not infinite and bringing spare batteries is a hassle. If only we could harness the power of, say, the sun to extend the battery life.
Eton is a company known for making portable radios, emergency weather radios, and even some hand-crank charging radios. Leave it to them to come up with a solar-powered speaker system. The Rukus compact system features a solar panel on one side. The panel's output can't quite keep up with the battery drain at max volumes but it does dramatically extend battery run time. If you're not playing, the panel can charge the internal battery for nighttime playback. There is also an AC charger to charge the battery and run the Rukus when AC is conveniently nearby. If you're near a pool — which isn't really a great mix with AC power — we recommend battery power.
Now, sure, power from the sun is certainly cool enough. No messy wires, right? Well, the Rukus is also equipped with Bluetooth, so no wires are required to get music into it either. So much coolness on a sunny summer day. Pairing was very simple - just press and hold the Bluetooth button for 3 seconds, and it searches for a Bluetooth signal in the area. The Rukus uses AVRCP for one-touch Bluetooth pairing and control and it has A2DP for good quality sound. I used the Jaybird iPhone apt-X adapter with an iPod Nano, and the signal was solid from about 30 feet away. Bluetooth connectivity is great because you can keep your phone in your pocket (or next to your deck chair) for taking calls or changing songs. This is also a standard mini-jack input for non-Bluetooth devices.
If you're worried that the Rukus will outlast your iPod, do not fear. The Rukus has a USB port (power only, not data input) that will use the sun's rays to charge up your iPod, iPhone, or any device that charges via a 5V USB port, including portable GPS devices. Eton claims 8 hours of Bluetooth playback on a single charge — I started mine 13 hours ago and it's still showing 50% charge. Be warned however, that charging a device via the USB port will decrease battery run time.
Conveniently, a handy elastic sleeve near the USB port holds your device while it's charging. A small nitpick: people who have used a true docking stand might be annoyed that you have to remove your device from this sleeve to skip songs. However, no one is forcing you to use the sleeve — if you're playing DJ, just set your device wherever it's handy.
The Rukus Solar is a nice-looking device. The two full-range speakers flank the large solar panel. Their wide set design gives the Rukus fairly good stereo separation; although we can't help thinking the speakers resemble Pringles cans. In addition to volume up and down buttons, there's a power button that illuminates with a green glow when the Rukus is on, a Bluetooth button, USB charging on/off button, AUX on/off button, and a bass boost. There is a small, simple E-Ink display that uses very little power. It indicates battery power, USB on/off, Bluetooth status, solar charging, and AUX on/off. The display can be switched between black or white backgrounds by holding the power switch for 5 seconds. Interestingly, there isn't any visual indication that the bass boost is engaged, nor is there a volume indicator. However, the power light will flash when you've hit either the minimum or maximum volume. It would be nice if there was some indication when you're raising or lowering the volume. What would be really cool is if the display sensed if the Rukus was standing up or on its side and flipped the display accordingly. Maybe the next generation will do that. It doesn't come with a printed version, but an instruction manual is available online; solar power and conservation — these guys think of everything.
When running off batteries, the Rukus doesn't play very loud — Eton claims 7 watts per channel, and it sounds like it might be putting out around 5. Plugged in, it plays a little louder. I listened to Train's "Drive By", and sadly, its driving kick drum lacked any serious deep impact. Even with the bass boost engaged (and I really wish there was a way of knowing if it's on or not) there wasn't any deep bass. The boost just increases the level of the lower midrange. Oddly, there is too much of this low midrange boost with it on — it would be nice to have it about half as loud as it is. The sound gets very thin at softer listening levels. The high-end is slightly veiled, but it has a good, clean and natural upper midrange and low treble.
Obvious sonic and interface limitations aside, for an outdoor system, it's more than adequate. The Eton Rukus Solar is a very clever product. Most rechargeable devices force you to plan ahead, making sure they're fully charged before you use them. With the Rukus, whenever the sun is shining and a party's starting, you're ready to roll.
Awesome review and it looks to be a great solar speaker. I use the Jambox along with my Droid phone while outside and in the sun for music and it works great. I use this 12w solar charging panel to charge my phone and JamBox at the same time which works perfectly. It took me awhile to find a panel powerful enough to charge my phone and speaker at the same time but I finally found a panel that does that.
This is a pretty awesome product! It fits perfectly for the backpacking/camping enthusiasts that have no access to a power outlet.

no, just the two. The diagrams below is for the potential wiring after a headlight housing swap. The first is how you would wire a dual hi/lo hid setup. The second is a more complex filament circuit that separates each side into two different circuits. The third is pretty much a fancied filament piggy back method.

Prime Minister's Olympic and Paralympic Challenges
Announced by the Prime Minister on 6 December 2011, the Prime Minister's Olympic and Paralympic Challenges (the Challenges) were nationally delivered sports participation/education programs for Australian primary school-age children (children aged between the ages of five and 12 years) which encouraged them to:
- participate in Olympic and Paralympic sports and activities;
- increase their understanding of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, sports and athletes;
- join a sporting club and continue their sporting journey after the Challenges finished; and
- enjoy participating in the Challenges.
Tapping into the spirit of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Challenges encouraged participation in Olympic and Paralympic sports and structured activities from 28 May 2012 until the conclusion of the London 2012 Olympics on 12 August (11 weeks) and the London 2012 Paralympics on 9 September (14 weeks).
Over this period, more than 42,000 children participated in the Challenges either on an individual basis or as part of a group, such as a class group, school, after-school care centre, sporting organisation or community group.
Prime Minister's Olympic Challenge
The Prime Minister's Olympic Challenge was a sporting challenge, based on accumulated activity time and the number of sports children undertook. Schools, after-school care centres, sporting organisations and individual children had the opportunity to participate in the Prime Minister's Olympic Challenge.
For the Olympic Challenge, all 26 Olympic sports (as well as 2016 incoming Olympic sports golf and rugby union) had a dedicated resource page with a history of their sport, Olympic results, an Ambassador with photo/video and inspirational quote and three suggested activities, aligned to that particular sport, that participants could do. There was close consultation with national sporting organisations to develop these sport pages.
In addition, the website featured updated news stories, coaching tips, safe activity guidelines and a series of resources for teachers/coordinators, parents/guardians and participating children. Resources were also available to help schools and sporting organisations hold mini-Olympic Days. An online tool was also available on the website to record all sporting activity during the Challenge.
Participating individual children, schools, after-school care centres and sporting organisations in each state and territory also had the opportunity to win sporting equipment vouchers during the registration period and each fortnight of the Olympic Challenge. A major prize draw also took place at the end of the Challenge with the opportunity to win a visit from an Olympic athlete. The total prize pool was $58,500.
The names of winners can be found on the Prize winners page.
Prime Minister's Paralympic Challenge
The Paralympic Challenge extended on the existing Paralympic Education Program and encouraged children in years five and six to get active and be inclusive of others whilst learning about some of the unique Paralympic sports and athletes.
In addition, the website featured updated news stories, a series of resources for teachers/coordinators, parents/guardians and participating children.
All participants in both the Olympic and Paralympic Challenges were able to earn a gold, silver, bronze or participation certificate based on their level of engagement in the respective Challenges.
The Prime Minister's Olympic and Paralympic Challenges encouraged more than 42,000 primary school aged children across Australia to participate in sport either on an individual basis or as part of a group, such as a class group, school, after-school care centre, sporting organisation or community group.
Over 4, 585 children participated in more than 60 minutes of sporting activity per day as a result of participating in the Prime Minister's Olympic and Paralympics Challenges.
During the Prime Minister's Olympic and Paralympic Challenges more than 1,955 children joined a sporting club.
The Prime Minister's Olympic Challenge and Paralympic Challenge websites can be viewed at the National Library of Australia archive.
A full evaluation report outlining the program details will be available soon.

It was yet another day for Logan, selling trinkets, weapons, and armor to those who came to his caravan's shop. North Urth was a very good place to trade all manner of wares, especially with all the traffic that comes and goes from here. After a rough day of bartering, he had retired to a bustling tavern called the Raging Boar for a drink. "Raging boar? Hah, must be quite a story behind that name." he said to himself. He typically tried to avoid particularly thriving or particularly desolate taverns; the former because they were too noisy and open to brawls, and the latter because when you take a drink in those kinds you end up chained to a bed with the bartender trying to extort money from you. Fun times.
Regardless, he had gone this particular day to the Raging Boar because he had a certain client that wanted to meet him here. Typically when a request like that was made they wanted some kind of contraband or otherwise dangerous object. Logan didn't mind fulfilling these requests on occasion, after all, money was good for these kinds of projects, just as long as the client didn't drag him into any gang wars or some wizard seeking a powerful artifact to take over the world or something. After some searching, he found the client.
"Ah, Logan, so glad you came!" said the client, a sharp dresser of a Neo said to him.
"And I'm glad to meetcha." he responded "Now then, what was it that you wanted." he asked, his voice lowering a bit.
"Oh, nothing much, just a MX-77 Accelerator."
"Huh...those are quite illegal and very expensive to procure. Mind if I ask why you want one?"
"Simple, you see, tomorrow there's a marathon going on, it'll give me quite the cash prize if I can win."
"I see, you do realize the...complications that tend to arise from that device yes?"
"Yeah yeah, but I'll only use it for one race. I'll pay you @5000 for it."
Now started the bartering phase. It was always Logan's favorite part of the deal, making as much money as possible while still keeping the customer happy. He knew that it generally took @6000 to actually get it and @500 more to make sure it isn't bugged or defective or whatnot. Logan soon made a counter offer.
"Hah! You'll need to do better than that partner, how's about @8000?"
"Err, okay, how about @6500?"
"Nah, I can't go much lower than @7500 buddy."
"WHAT? I only make @8000 if I win the race. You gotta get me a better deal."
"Sorry, but @7500 is as low as I can go."
The Neo, getting rather annoyed by this point, pulled out a laser and said "Look pal, I tried to be reasonable with you, but now I want that part for free, you understand?"
"Oh I understand, but you aren't getting it for free." Logan said. Immediately the Neo took a shot, but his aim was terrible and in no time Logan had pinned him to the ground. "Now then, you willing to give up or do I have to get messy?"
A few seconds passed without a reply, then the Neo, rather shaken by the ordeal said "Okay...@7500 it is...but I ain't paying a cent of it until you get it to me!"
"No worries on that front mate." Logan said, releasing his grip on the Neo. He then went to another corner, and tried to be as inconspicous as possible. Most of the patrons ignored what must have been a common occurrence with only a few paying much attention at all.

PARIS (AP) — Sex symbol-turned-animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot is threatening to join actor Gerard Depardieu in Russian exile unless France halts the scheduled euthanasia of two sick circus elephants.
The 1960s screen diva says authorities have ignored her "numerous proposals" to save Baby and Nepal, a pair of 42-year-old elephants dying of tuberculosis at a Lyon zoo.
In a statement on her foundation's website Bardot says that if the elephants are killed she will request Russian citizenship "to flee this country that is now just a graveyard for animals."
This week France was shocked to learn Depardieu, an Academy Award-winner and pillar of French cinema, had received Russian citizenship after he was called "pathetic" by France's prime minister in a bust-up over the country's proposed 75 percent income tax for the super-rich.

If your kids think visiting Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia on a family vacation is more like torture, don't be surprised if they say they would prefer to visit the Busch Gardens Williamsburg theme park. It offers an array of hair-raising roller coasters that get top billing.
"I like Alpengeist for all the twists and turns," says one young visitor.
"I love Apollo's Chariot for all the fun uphills and stuff like that," says another.
"I like Griffon, because I like the drop," says a third.
On a recent media visit, I got to experience Griffon's 90-degree drop first-hand at 75 mph, terrifying even with eyes closed.
If you're one who thinks these rides should be off-limits, the newest addition to the park is verboten — the Verbolten. This ride, just a bit longer than a New York minute, reaches 55 mph in less than two seconds with a surprise 16-feet free fall.
The European-themed resort, also gets accolades for its gentler side, a leafy layout, garnering raves from the National Amusement Park Historical Association.
Like its sister park in Florida, the Williamsburg park also has its share of animal attractions. On summer evenings, the day comes to a close with a short fireworks display, and there is a grand, porky finale that makes it worth spending the bacon.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg has a number of value-added online packages, including a twilight special in effect after 3 p.m. that includes dinner and admission for $50 per person. For more details, visit buschgardens.com.

A familiar face to Northwest Georgia lawmakers occupies the newest seat on the State Transportation Board.
Dalton businessman Roger Williams, who served 22 years in the state House of Representatives before retiring last year, was elected Tuesday as the 14th Congressional District representative on the board.
Due to last year's redistricting, Floyd County was placed in the newly created 14th Congressional District, which led to a new transportation board member. Chattooga, Polk, Walker and Gordon are among the other 11 counties in the district.
State legislators who represent any part of the new district held a formal nomination period on Tuesday and Williams was the lone nominee.
"I'm honored that my friends and former colleagues in the General Assembly have the confidence in me to select me for this important post," said Williams, who was nominated by state Rep. Tom Dickson, R-Cohutta.
"The things that make Northwest Georgia such a beautiful place to live and work are the same factors that give it such unique transportation challenges. I look forward to working with the Board and the Legislature to address those challenges," Williams continued.
State Rep. Katie Dempsey, R-Rome, said Williams' experience as a legislator and familiarity with the district will be invaluable. "As a former legislator, he has certainly worked in a regional and state-wide manner for many years, so I think he is going to be very engaged in the process as we move forward on transportation issues," Dempsey said.
Dempsey said she spoke with Williams about the importance of the U.S. 411 Connector to the people of Rome and Floyd County.
She said plans are being set up for him to visit Rome as well as other cities in the district in the coming weeks.
"We will try to schedule that soon, so he can get to know local leaders and understand the transportation desires of our community," Dempsey said.

U.S. stocks ended lower Monday, lurching into the final month of the year with all eyes on the stalemate in Washington over the nation's fiscal policy.
A survey of purchasing managers highlighted the cloudy outlook for the economy as lawmakers and President Obama remain at odds over tax hikes and spending cuts set to kick in automatically on Jan. 1, widely known as the fiscal cliff.
The ISM manufacturing index contracted in November, falling to its lowest level since July 2009. Economists said the drop in manufacturing activity was driven by concerns about the fiscal cliff, rather than disruptions due to Hurricane Sandy.
"This survey may indicate that businesses are concerned enough about the fiscal cliff to put spending and hiring decisions on hold," said Paul Dales, senior economist at Capital Economics.
Separately, the government said construction spending rose 1.4% in October from September. And car sales rebounded even more than expected in November after being hurt a month earlier by the storm that wreaked havoc on the East Coast.
After opening higher, the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 both fell nearly 0.5%. The Nasdaq lost 0.3%.
Investors are grappling with an uncertain political environment as the White House and Congress have just four weeks to come up with a solution to a self-imposed crisis that economists say could tip the nation back into recession.
Obama outlined an initial proposal last week by calling for $1.6 trillion in new taxes, among other things. Republicans issued a counter proposal Monday that includes tax reforms, changes to Medicare and other spending cuts worth $2.2 trillion over the next decade.
"The question now is whether enough common ground can be found to come to an agreement before the end of the year," said Jason Pride, director of investment strategy at wealth management firm Glenmede. He expects a last-minute delay of the fiscal cliff, "but we do not believe that the risk of inaction is immaterial."
After a go-nowhere November, some investors are expecting a rebound in December, if history is any guide. December has been the strongest month of the year for stocks over the past 30 years, as investors close out positions and square portfolios, according to research from Schaeffer's Investment Research. There hasn't been a negative December since 2007.

The land of forgotten toys: New Frisco Heritage Museum exhibit showcases childhood treasures
By Anthony Tosie,
Published: Thursday, December 6, 2012 2:58 PM CST
Growing up, most children have a favorite toy. Sometimes those toys don't stand the test of time, but a new exhibit at the Frisco Heritage Museum hopes to save the forgotten toys for new generations to experience.
"Toys! Toys! Toys!," which opened Tuesday and runs until Jan. 28, 2013, features toys from several generations for adults to reminisce, while children will almost certainly make those adults feel old by asking when those toys were popular.
Donna Anderson, a member of the Heritage Association of Frisco, said getting the community involved was a major part of the reason for the exhibit.
"All of the items came from local people, who have been gracious enough to let us play with their toys," she said. "Of particular note is the 1957 scale model Jeep that was built by S.W. Christie for his boys."
The Heritage Association didn't rely solely on contributions from other community members, however. Many of the association's members donated some of their own childhood toys for use in the exhibit.
Anderson contributed a "walking doll" from the 1960s that her grandmother bought her when she was just 6 years old.
"My grandmother brought me to Korvettes department store to help her find a gift for a 'poor little girl' about my age," Anderson said. "I fell in love with the walking doll, which at about 24 inches tall, was almost as big as me. My grandmother bought the doll, and I was disappointed because it was going to go to some other little girl because, we were pretty poor and I didn't really have any dolls."
Despite Anderson's immediate disappointment, however, things turned out just fine.
"My grandmother told me it would be okay and, on Christmas Day, I got to unwrap that doll," she said. "I loved that doll! Over the years she's lost her shoes, some of her clothes, and she doesn't walk too well. She went to college with me and sat in a place of honor on my dorm room bed. My doll is one of the few childhood treasures I have."
Linda Sutton, another association board member, also donated a toy from her childhood for the exhibit – a Madam Alexander doll she received for Christmas when she was 8.
"She came in a trunk with a few clothes and accessories," Sutton explained. "It had been years since I had opened the trunk, and when I did I was delighted to find doll clothes my grandmother had made along with my crude attempts at sewing. It brought back sweet memories of sitting on the floor by my grandmother's treadle sewing machine watching her make doll clothes and instruct me in cutting out patterns and hand stitching."
Sutton's experience with that doll actually helped her in her professional life, too. About 30 years after receiving the doll, she started her own business and began publishing Frisco Style Magazine, which she later sold in 2003.
In addition to Anderson's doll and the other old toys, there's also a couple of more modern entertainment experiences for children: video game consoles.
The exhibit features original Nintendo and Atari game consoles that are in working condition. In fact, exhibit attendees can play the consoles on 1970s televisions.
For Anderson, part of the fun is seeing the reactions of children when they discover what toys their parents and grandparents grew up with.
"I think this is a fun exhibit for all ages – it's definitely a trip through your childhood if you are a baby boomer," Anderson said. "It's fun to see grandparents and parents come through with little ones and show them toys that they played with and to see that there are certain toys that have endured for multiple generations, like Barbie, G.I. Joe and Monopoly."

After posting record growth in 2012, Canadian auto parts production is expected to expand at a more modest, but still strong pace in 2013, predicts a Conference Board of Canada report released Thursday.
"The Canadian auto parts industry has been in recovery mode since output fell by a staggering 43 per cent between 2007 and 2009," said Michael Burt, the board's director of industrial economic trends. "The parts industry continues to benefit from a turnaround in North American vehicle sales, which are on track to post their best results since 2007. Demand for parts has been so strong, that some parts manufacturers are running six days a week in an effort to keep up with the automakers."
Canadian auto parts production is forecast to increase by an impressive 22.4 per cent in 2012, says the board's Industrial Outlook: Autumn 2012.
Beyond the recovery in North American sales, production has been boosted by the return of Japanese automakers Honda and Toyota to normal operating conditions following last year's production disruptions caused by the earthquake and tsunami. Looking beyond this year, the two Japanese auto giants will continue to represent a big opportunity for Canadian parts manufacturers, the conference board said.
Japanese automakers are actively looking to move more production to North America in order to limit the impact of a strong yen and improve the durability of their supply chains.
Industry revenues are expected to rise 22.7 per cent this year - the largest one-year increase on record, the board said. Revenues will advance more moderately beyond 2012, but parts manufacturers will continue to benefit from healthy sales growth until North American vehicle sales fully recover.
The conference board expects revenues to increase by 11.4 per cent in 2013 and by 7.4 per cent in 2014.
Due to record growth in production and revenues, industry profits surged by an estimated 37 per cent in 2012, to $1.4 billion.
However, profit growth is expected to be more muted in the coming years, said the board's report.
Lower cost economies, such as Mexico and China, are capturing market share in North America and will place pressure on industry profits and margins.

LANSING (AP) — As rumors swirled Wednesday that Republicans were preparing to introduce right-to-work legislation, outnumbered Democrats in the Michigan House and Senate pledged to resist such proposals and said rushing them through would poison the state's political atmosphere.
Tensions rose at the Capitol late in the afternoon as hundreds of union members packed into the rotunda area, blowing whistles and shouting slogans such as "Union buster" and "Right-to-work has got to go." State police officers and staff security officers were on hand but the House and Senate sessions were not disrupted.
So-called right-to-work measures generally prohibit unions from collecting fees from nonunion workers, which opponents say drains unions of money and weakens their ability to bargain for good wages and benefits. Supporters insist it would boost the economy and job creation.
After saying repeatedly over the past two years that right-to-work wasn't a priority for him, Republican Gov. Rick Snyder told reporters Tuesday after a meeting with GOP legislative leaders that it was "on the agenda." No bills have surfaced, but many lawmakers and interest groups expect Republicans to push for quick approval in the waning days of a lame-duck session scheduled to end Dec. 20.
Majority Leader Randy Richardville told reporters after the Senate adjourned for the day that no decisions had been made.
"There's discussions that have gone on. They've gotten more complex," Richardville said, though he would not provide details or a timetable for when the issue might be decided.
Ari Adler, spokesman for House Speaker Jase Bolger, said there appeared to be enough support from GOP members to gain passage, although he declined to provide a specific number of committed votes. Still, he said, there's "nothing for legislators to look at" yet, only ideas of what such measures might look like.
Adler said Bolger, Snyder and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville are "in contact continuously" and seeking agreement on whether to proceed.
"There are layers of decisions that have to be made," he said. "The first decision (is), 'Do we go forward or not?' Once you have that, the others will fall like dominoes."
During a raucous Capitol news conference packed with union activists, Democratic leaders denounced right-to-work as a handout to corporate executives at the expense of workers. They said it was political retribution after organized labor unsuccessfully pushed a November ballot initiative that would have made such laws unconstitutional. Continued...
"They have launched an all-out war on the middle class in this state, and it's time we fought it back," said Rep. Tim Greimel of Auburn Hills, who will be the House minority leader next year.
He said Republicans, who lost five seats in last month's election, wanted to act quickly "because they know that a lot of their 'yes' votes on this do not have to face election again."
Republicans have commanding majorities in both chambers — 64-46 in the House and 26-12 in the Senate. Under their rules, only a simple majority of members elected and serving must be present to have a quorum and conduct business. For that reason, Democrats acknowledged that boycotting sessions and going into hiding, as some lawmakers in neighboring Indiana and Wisconsin have done in recent years to stall legislation unpopular with unions, would be futile in Michigan.
Still, they pledged to use all legal means to stop right-to-work. House Democrats already have begun withholding votes on some bills to show their displeasure.
"We're going to fight and we're going to make it as difficult as possible on them," Senate Minority Leader Gretchen Whitmer said. "We're going to look at every strategy we can."
Results of a poll conducted Nov. 27-29 by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA said 54 percent of Michigan voters generally favor right-to-work laws, with 40 percent opposed. But when asked how they felt about Michigan becoming a right-to-work state, 47 percent are in favor and 46 percent were opposed — a statistical tie.
Advocates on both sides continued furious lobbying efforts. A right-to-work advocacy group called the Michigan Freedom Fund hung a banner across the front of Capitol's steps promoting a website where people can sign a petition. The Michigan Chamber of Commerce this week announced its backing for right-to-work legislation.
United Auto Workers President Bob King joined the throng of union members. King, who previously met with Snyder, credited the governor for talking with labor leaders but said he must go further.
"We came to the Capitol in good faith to find creative solutions where we could work together," King told The Associated Press. "I think the governor needs to be leader. He has said for 2 1/2 years that right-to-work is divisive. He is the top leader in Michigan. He should say, 'I'll veto a right-to-work bill. Let's get to work together in creating jobs in Michigan.' "
King said wasn't optimistic. "The indications aren't good. We wouldn't be here if we didn't think they were going to put right-to-work on the floor." Continued...
Michigan State AFL-CIO spokeswoman Sara Wallenfang said her organization, which represents 56 labor groups, is helping to coordinate "lobby day" events at the Capitol, involving hundreds of union members.
"They ... go talk to their representatives about why they think this is a horrible economic path to walk," she said.
Shana Alderton, director of field services for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Michigan, was among the hundreds ringing the Capitol rotunda late Wednesday afternoon. Amid the din of banging, chanting and whistling, Alderton said the demonstrators hoped that lawmakers "will listen and understand that right-to-work is not good for Michigan."
Alderton said several unions and organizations have been mobilizing, and "the plan is to be here as long as we have to stop this foolish legislation."
In Grand Rapids, demonstrators chanting and picketing inside the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel called for Dick DeVos to end financial support for right-to-work legislation. DeVos is an heir to the Amway business fortune and a Republican activist.

Few Christian ministers can lead and preach like the venerable Will Willimon.
A United Methodist bishop, prolific author, scholar, and pastor – Bishop Willimon says leading is important because too many congregations have been trained to expect too little. And preaching is important because God has a lot to say to today's churches.
I was in awe interviewing such a luminary – seriously – where do you start? So we limited our 60 minutes to two of Will's strengths: leadership and preaching. Enjoy these sage words from one of America's best-known Christian leaders.

In the decades Will Willimon has been ministering he has noticed a change in the minister's role: they're no longer called just to care, but to lead. And much of that leadership finds expression in the pulpit, a place in which Bishop Willimon is very comfortable. Here are my notes from the interview:
Recalling Heifetz, will says we only need leadership if we want to go somewhere. Of course, Christians do, so Will defines it as, a servant willingness to be used by God to help the Church do the work it's called to do.'
Rooted in Call
Will thinks it's absolutely crucial for Christian leaders to recapture their sense of call – that leading a congregation was not their idea, but God's. Helping leaders articulate this sense that God really does have work to do for people, through people, is an important work for us all.
How I Prepare
Will begins in the summer, sketching out the program year – selecting Bible passages and themes, praying for direction. As the Fall unfolds, he puts clippings and ideas in files – and lets things marinate before taking on the task of sermons construction. All the while, rooting himself in the conviction that, 'I speak because Ive been spoken to."
About Will Willimon
The Reverend Dr. William H. Willimon has been a Bishop of The United Methodist Church since 2004. He leads the 157,000 Methodists and 792 pastors in North Alabama. For twenty years he was Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Christian Ministry at Duke University, Durham, North Carolina.

Tom Cruise Accused Of Wiretapping (December 21, 2012) |
Tom Cruise is embroiled in a $5 million lawsuit with a magazine editor. The actor is accused of wiretapping telephone conversations and was brought in for questioning on Tuesday. According to Radar Online, Cruise, his lawyer Bert Fields and a private investigator named Anthony Pellicano conspired to unlawfully tap Michael Davis Sapir's phone. Pellicano, who is now imprisoned, had already been convicted on several charges for wiretapping numerous people. The Sapir lawsuit, which has its roots in a different legal action, was actually filed in 2009 but Cruise was only able to be questioned Tuesday. He spent three hours at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in New York answering questions. "It was all very secretive," a source told Radar. "This battle has been ongoing and getting to the point where Cruise had to sit for a deposition that obviously took a long time." Sapir first dragged Cruise into legal action back in 2001. He claimed he had a video evidence of the actor in a gay activity and was willing to sell it for $500,000. Cruise sued the editor but settled it after Sapir admitted that there was no such video.

PDT Managing Editor
Carol Hieneman was tired of watching a vacant and overgrown lot in her neighborhood be used for prostitution and drug deals so she decided to do something about it.
The Portsmouth mother of two grown children — known in the neighborhood as The Lawn Lady — typically mows the grass for her elderly neighbors. With such little rain recently she had some time on her hands. That inspired her to start hacking away at tree branches, brush and vines ivy that infested the lot on Armstrong Avenue, which is two doors down from her home on Linden Avenue.
Hieneman said she has been working on the lot for two weeks and spending eight to 10 hours a day on the project. By Monday, she had revealed a clearing she said was used for illegal activity.
She said neighbors could easily see through the overgrowth what was going on.
"When it was all brush, all kinds of illegal activity, you know: prostitution, drug deals. They'd walk up in here and stuff," Hieneman said. "The kids in the alley could see it happening all the time. People would stop in their cars, get out and do their transactions. I said, by god, I want to see who's over there."
She said she has removed trash, tires and couches from the property. A majority of the work has been in poison ivy, she said.
"Urgent care knows me well," she said with a laugh.
She has been moving the debris and trash to the driveway of the vacant home that sits next to the lot. That house was burned earlier this year in a suspected arson.
Hieneman said she doesn't know who owns the land, and she has tried to contact the city for help, but no one has responded to her emails. She said she wrote an email to the City of Portsmouth and asked for a Dumpster.
"They don't even acknowledge my emails. So I thought, well, eventually they're gonna have to demolish this (house), they can take all this trash with them," Hieneman said.
So why go through all the trouble of clearing a lot she doesn't own?
"Being out in the fresh air helps me. I'd rather be outside," Hieneman said. "I've got multiple joint replacements. So the more I move the better I feel."
Hieneman also said she hopes the new open space can be used for something productive.
"People have stopped and asked me who they call to reserve it for a family reunion. I said, 'just come on,'" Hieneman said.

What could be harmful about health foods like grapefruit, licorice and kale?
While everyone can benefit from their nutrients and vitamins, they are also known to disrupt the efficacy of some prescription drugs.

According to the researchers' estimations, grapefruit has the potential to interact negatively with 85 different prescription drugs that are currently on the market, including popular statins like Lipitor, Zocor and Mevacor and the anticoagulant Plavix.
