DETROIT (WKZO) -- Defense-industry companies in the Metro Detroit area are bracing for possible job cuts.
Employers say that thousands of jobs could be lost if Congress and President Barack Obama don't reach a deal before the end of the year to prevent defense cuts. If a deal is not reached, the Defense Department faces a 50 to 60-million-dollar cut in January.
Michigan's defense sector could see a loss of over 14-thousand-jobs.

Customer Reviews
other than bent parts, looks good.
It was everything i expected it to be.
Love it, we have built fires roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, the granddaughter really has fun helping build the fires.
This stove is made of sheet metal. It is much thinner than expected. Easy to assemble, but I don't expect it to last for very long.
It was timely on arrival and went together real easy. Plan on using it at BBQs for the parents to supervise their kids and cook a hot dog if desired. I have it on the patio when not in use and it is small enough to be cute.

You may be getting sick of my What You Wish You Would Have Known series but has it generated a lot of response. I received many comments, emails, and forum posts with many of your thoughts as to what you wish you had known prior to placing your child for adoption. Many of them sang the same tune over and over, just in different words. Many of the birthmothers wish they had known the lifelong grief they would experience as a result of placing their child for adoption. I posted some of the responses in other blog entries and kind of thought I was done with the series.
But then I received the following reply to that post from Nicole, a birthmom to a daughter who is now years five years old and is raising a daughter who is two years old. Her reply was like no other I had received. She recounted the pain many of the other birthmothers shared, but she spoke of it in such a touching way that made my heart smile and frown at the same time, as I read her words. I couldn't resist sharing it with you.
I wish someone would have told me that getting up in the middle of the night with a hungry, crying baby is not all stress and frustration that it actually gives you some of the best memories, best bonding moments, sweetest feelings in a lifetime.
I wish someone would have told me that once you become a parent, all your prior hopes and dreams aren't nearly as important to you as just being with your child, watching your child grow, and seeing your child flourish.
I wish someone would have told me that all expectant parents have doubts and fears, that you learn as you go, and that having fears actually is a good sign because it means you're open to growth and learning.
I wish someone would have told me that one goodnight kiss from my child would be worth more to me than my college degree.
I wish someone would have told me that feeling a toddler's arms wrapped around my neck and hearing her whisper "Mommy, I love you too" would make all the day's stresses and frustrations disappear.
I wish someone would have told me that staying home and having pillow fights on the couch can be more fun than going out for a night on the town.
I wish someone would have told me that the amount of joy parenting brings far outweighs any sacrifice.
Thank you Nicole for sharing your touching point of view to What You Wish you had Known.
PS… If you might be wondering why I have loved snow globes as the picture for this series it is because my son calls snow globes "wish wishes."

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
you need to know that this bag loads from the top, not the side seam like a conventional day bag. That means the bag has to be flat on its bottom to get your board in or out. I usually leave my bag on its side in my van and just pull the board in and out, so a "top loader" wont work for me. Too bad because this is a well built bag for the price, as good or better than the FCS and Prolite bags I own.
Will this fit a 8'6 surf board

I've said it before, and I'm hardly alone. Many have observed it. Liberals revere tolerance. They practically worship it. It's like a religion to them. Well, now comes a study that supports the point.

According to WNMU officials, the individual data in the training program will not be collected and stored by the university but will use the data in its entirety to determine what types of support services the school should implement on campus.
"We understand that the titles of these sessions may be out of the norm for some but we want to assure the public that they are well intentioned."

Don't forget: Honesty is the best policy. If you have every intention of having sex later on with the woman you're dating regardless of how she feels about it, tell her directly that there is every chance you will rape her. If you don't communicate your intentions, she might take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her and inadvertently feel safe.

Gwen's Take | Journalism 101: Getting It Right
Gwen's Take
It had already been a hectic, headlong week when a reporter I like, respect and admire made a big mistake. In the rush to get the news fast and first, he got it wrong.
I'm not interested in beating up on him, because it could have easily been me. We all want instant solace. When the President declared to the mourners gathered at Boston's Cathedral of The Holy Cross: "Yes, we will find you. And, yes, you will face justice." We got that. That's how the story ends, right? The bad guys get caught.

Taking Voters At Their Words
Gwen's Take
Pundits. Analysts. Historians. Political scientists. The landscape is lousy with them this election year, and I love talking with them.
But in our PBS NewsHour political coverage this year, we are making a special commitment to seek out the opinions of the people who actually cast the votes. And in each of the contests we have covered so far, we have found they do not disappoint.
Stop the Press
On The Radar
Iraqi journalism—which Washington had hoped would ensure a democratic, transparent government—faces an intense government crackdown.
Dog Whistle politics:
Gwen's Take
You talking to ME?
The past several days have handed me a cluster of excuses to return to one of my favorite topics: what happens when politicians speak in code. Known in some circles as dog-whistle politics – saying one thing intended to be heard only by those with sensitized hearing – it's recently been on varied display.

Program Officer, Cyber Initiative
"Never stifle a generous impulse," was a favorite saying of entrepreneur William R. Hewlett, who established the Hewlett Foundation with his wife, Flora Lamson Hewlett, and their eldest son, Walter B. Hewlett. The personal generosity of Mr. Hewlett, who passed away in 2001, made the Hewlett Foundation one of the nation's largest, with assets of more than $8.5 billion and annual grant making that is approaching $400 million.
The Foundation has ambitious goals, with programs that work on topics as varied as improving global governance, mitigating the threat of climate change, strengthening the K-12 curriculum nationally, securing better reproductive health and rights worldwide, supporting vibrant performing arts in its community, advancing the field of philanthropy, and supporting disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The Foundation recently announced an initiative to begin building a field of neutral experts to work on public policy for cybersecurity and Internet issues. Hewlett identified three obstacles to such work at present: (1) the field is fragmented, making it difficult for relevant actors to work together; (2) there are too few independent thought leaders with the necessary political and technical knowledge to address the problem; and (3) the technical nature of the issues makes it difficult for the general public and policymakers to understand and embrace solutions.
The Cyber Initiative will seek out or create independent institutions capable of bringing together relevant actors from government, industry, academia, and other relevant sectors. It will support and nurture experts who possess a sophisticated understanding of the problem, who can and will think independently about long-term policy needs, and who are supportive of sharing information. The Initiative is agnostic about particular solutions, looking rather to generate a rich marketplace of ideas that will set the stage for a better debate. A critical element of the work will be to draw additional funding into supporting this kind of independent policy analysis.
The Hewlett Foundation take an outcome focused approach to grantmaking. This approach is includes the following expectations:
- Grantmaking staff define program objectives, make grants, and engage in other activities with a focus on the problem or problems to be solved; this includes identifying indicators of progress and criteria for evaluating success.
- Because solutions to serious problems can seldom be known with certainty, grantmakers must be prepared to experiment and take risks. This, too, requires setting clear goals and articulating reasonable ways to measure success as conditions and the nature of the problem permit. Willingness to acknowledge and learn from failures is important.
- Grantees are and are treated as essential partners. We work with and learn from them. This is why such a high proportion of the Foundation's grants are in the form of general operating support.
The Foundation is seeking a Program Officer to develop and lead the Cyber Initiative. The initial grant making budget for the program is $4 million per year for five years. The Program Officer will report to the President and is expected to develop and implement a strategy to achieve the Initiative's goals.
Specific responsibilities include:
Initiative Strategy and Leadership
- Lead the development, implementation, communication, evaluation, and dissemination of the Cyber Initiative's strategy and outcomes.
- Develop and manage the Initiative's operations and budget.
- Ensure robust and consistent measurement and evaluation.
Leadership in the field
- Represent the Foundation and its work to grantees, governments, nonprofits, business, and civic leaders. Engage these actors in the work as necessary and appropriate.
- Help develop and strengthen organizations that are central to the Initiative's success, focusing on their goals and strategies, governance, staffing, financial health, communications and fundraising.
- Help attract other funding to support the Initiative's goals, whether from foundations, high net-worth individuals, government, or private industry.
Candidate Profile
The following performance and personal competencies are required for the position:
Knowledge and Experience
The candidate must have:
- substantive knowledge of cybersecurity and Internet policy;
- experience working with civil society, government, and industry to build and leverage multi-stakeholder networks and working groups;

- a sophisticated understanding of emerging technologies;
- a demonstrated body of work that reflects unconventional, creative thinking;
- a demonstrated capacity to make clear, timely decisions;
- demonstrated expertise about how to help individuals and institutions develop comprehensive analyses of cyber problems and solutions; and
- the ability to attract new funders and additional funds.
The candidate must be:
- able to develop and implement a strategy in the context of rapidly evolving policy and technology;
- a strong communicator, able to listen to and learn from key stakeholders inside and outside the Foundation and to encourage openness, innovation, and free expression;
- able to curate new ideas, to challenge colleagues, and to reach beyond the conventional;
- an adaptive learner who can commit to strong goals but remain flexible about tactics and course correct if and as necessary;
- an effective collaborator, able to foster constructive and transparent dialogue among people who may, at times, be on opposing sides of sensitive issues; and
- a strong supporter of the Foundation's mission of achieving significant, lasting and measurable results in its areas of interest and commitment;
- willing to pursue the Foundation's objective in a non-ideological manner and without any separate political or philosophical agendas.

Want to use my Fort Lauderdale home for a few weeks? OK, provided you've got a place for me to crash in Manhattan.
This post comes from partner site Money Talks News.
The single most expensive part of any vacation is almost invariably the hotel, especially when your travel plans include Earth's truly expensive spots: places like San Francisco, London, New York, Tokyo or Paris.
Adding to the pain is the fact that while you're paying big, you're ending up in a comparatively tiny space with far fewer amenities than you have at home. But there's a simple solution to this expensive dilemma.
More people are giving themselves higher marks for being money-savvy, but survey indicates many still need help.
In the weeks preceding Financial Literacy Month, the fourth annual Consumer Financial Literacy Survey asked people to grade themselves. Are they getting smarter about money?
"In 2009, 41% graded themselves as C, D or F, with only 34% falling into that category in 2010," says the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, which sponsored the survey.
The survey showed that people have gotten a bit more money-savvy in the last few years, but the results were a mixed bag. Considering that April is Financial Literacy Month, isn't now a good time to take stock of yourself? Ask yourself these questions:
Computer firm returned the souls and confessed to an April Fool's prank. But much of life's fine print isn't as amusing.
You know it's dangerous to skip all the fine print you're asked to read when you sign up at a website, but there's so much of it.
An April Fool's Day prank by a British online game seller demonstrated how few people really do read the fine print: 88% of the site's customers agreed to give up their immortal souls in order to buy goods from GameStation, according to a report by Fox News.
By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions.
Nobody cares more about your money than you do.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
There's been an influx of new readers at Get Rich Slowly lately. To serve as an intro to the new folks (and to celebrate the site's fourth anniversary, and in honor of Financial Literacy Month), today I'm going to review my financial philosophy. Although we covered each of these points in turn last autumn, it's been awhile since I collected these core values in one location.
Based on my research -- and my experience with what does and doesn't work -- I've compiled a list of 14 guidelines that form the basis of everything I write.
Which to fly if you have lots of baggage, want to arrive on time and more.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
It's report card time for the airlines.
Each year, the W. Frank Barton School of Business at Wichita State University and the Department of Aviation Technology at Purdue University release their Airline Quality Rating (AQR), an analysis of Department of Transportation data on topics like: Which airline does the best job at getting bags to their destination? Which has the best arrival and departure records?
Why do you suppose most bankers aren't trying as hard as these Texans to modify troubled mortgages?
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
You get the impression from reading the news that banks and loan servicers -- the companies that collect payments -- are resisting demands and pleas from homeowners and the government (and common sense) to get moving on modifying failing mortgages.
Banks seem to drag their feet. Currently, about 6 million homeowners are behind on their payments and banks have modified only a fraction of them (and even "permanent" modifications aren't really permanent). Banks foreclosed on 2.8 million homeowners last year.
So it's kind of amazing to read, in this report from HousingWire reporter Diana Golobay, how some servicers are pulling out all the stops to button-hole delinquent homeowners and get them into mortgage modifications.
With enrollment mostly flat, many camps are holding the line on prices.
This Deal of the Day comes from Elizabeth Trotta at partner site SmartMoney.
Want to send Junior to camp this summer but worry about high fees?
The good news is you probably won't have to pay more, or at least not much more, than last year. Enrollment for 2010 looks steady, at about 11 million campers, according to the American Camp Association. (In the ACA's most recent survey, three-quarters of participating camps said enrollment this year would be the same or higher than last summer.) So, without a surge of new business, many camps are simply holding the line.
Free fries, BOGO meals and coupons for free drinks among the offerings. Don't forget free entry to national parks.
It's finally Friday, and it's time for food deals and freebies.
The Earth Day deals we posted about are still on, including free admission April 17-25 to all national parks that charge an entry fee. This is also the weekend for lots of free local Earth Day events.
Even though April 15 has come and gone, a few of our Tax Day deals are still valid, including free HydroMassage and a BOGO coupon from Boston Market, both good through April 18. And don't forget that some of last week's deals are still good.

This is the greatest make-up remover I've ever bought. Make-up easily glides off in just a couple of swipes and considerably inexpensive. However a little goes a long way as it's kind of too oily.
This product really works to take off waterproof mascara as well as the MAC liquid liner I use. You get a lot of product for the money and you only have to use a tiny bit!
I don't really wear much eye make up - when I do it's only eyeliner and mascara. This stuff is quite good at getting it off (haven't tried it on waterproof mascara though), but it is really oily.
It's really good value though - £3 for 150ml, which will last for AGES because you only have to use a tiny amount on a bit of cotton wool.
The bottle makes it look all organic and quite expensive, even though it's really easy to knock over or spill it when you are putting it on cotton wool.
So I guess this is quite a good eye make up remover, especially for it's price, but I really don't like the oilyness of it.
I'm currently on my third bottle, and I've no plans of stopping there! I love this make up remover, like most oil-based remover it's got the two different layers which you've got to shake before use. It removes all my eye make up, even waterproof mascara-without any form of tugging or pulling of the skin! Before I would swish it on a cotton pad three times, enough to soak it, and place it on my eye for 3 seconds. It quickly removes the make up, it does it so well that you can still see how the make up was applied, almost as if someone had drawn it on the pad.
It does have an oily feel to it, but I've experienced worse. Although I found that if you don't wash it off completely it does leave a residue that can cause dryness so much so that you can see flecks of dry skin.
My current rituals involves this being used in conjunction with Ponds make up wipes, I use half of the sheet for my face and the rest soaked with a tiny amounts of Boot MU remover then wipe the residue off with the other side.
Will continue to purchase this as the bottle is quite sturdy, I take it with me everywhere! I love the metallic cap, doesn't come off.
Highly recommend it!
I bought this as a less expensive alternative to Lancome's ever so popular and well loved eye makeup remover. The label read 'removes waterproof eye makeup', but I was skeptical at first since other products that claim to do that have fallen short on results. Well, I give this one a huge 2 thumbs up! I only wear waterproof mascara and black eyeliner, so it's pertinent that I find something that'll easily remove them without having to scrub my eye and stretch the delicate skin. This product does exactly that and exactly replicates the Lancome product minus the hefty price tag. It doesn't leave any greasy residue. It also leaves the skin around my eye feeling silky soft. I will definitely repurchase this in the future!
First of all you have to shake it before you use it which is annoying. It leaves a horrible oily residue on your face which means you have to go tugging at you eyes with a cleanser to get it off and aswell as all that it burns!! Never had such painful skincare product...seriously ouch :( Would not but again.
Have been using this for a while, have tried the clinique TTDO and lancome bi-facil, this is basically the same product but way cheaper. the packaging is not great especially when trying to take make-up off in bed! It takes my super industrial waterproof mascara off in seconds and I also use it all over my face to take every scrap of make-up off. You do have to use a toner after tho as it leaves a oily film that could lead to break out central! For just under £3 it's a real must have.

You know the story, I bought this when Botanics was first launched in the UK, so that was maybe 10 years ago, thought it was good but never repurchased again it until recently. I was concerned that the remover I was using was making me tug too much on my eyelids, so I wanted an oilier consistancy. I decided on this because of the dual level, similar to Clinique's TTDO but without the hefty price tag. This is under £3 in the UK and works really well. I shake it well and use a cotton pad and a cotton bud to take off any e/l residue. It takes off almost everything without needing to rub or tug at the eye. I would like it if the lid was more secure but other than that I think it's great, and good value for money.
I debated on getting this for a while, but I finally picked it up this time. My Almay non-oily makeup remover pads weren't doing much. The bottle sucks, but I use it with the Almay pads and all my eye makeup comes off, even the really stubborn Lash Blast. Amazing.

This is the best eye make-up remover i have used to date. Although it is oily, it is gentle on my eyes, and removes my waterproof mascara quickly and easily. I really have no complaints with this except it is annoying to have to shake it before use and the lid isn't extremely practical. Still, a great product - i would recommend!

UN mission 'failing to protect DRC civilians' | The Journal
THE INTERNATIONAL Crisis Group has penned an open letter to the UN Security Council warning of the risk of a major escalation in violence and criticising its mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo of failing in its mandate to protect civilians.
The ICG warns that "history is again repeating itself" in eastern DRC where there is "a risk of serious escalation of violence".
The group also accuses the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the Congo (MONUSCO) of failing in its core mandate of stabilisation and the protection of civilians, saying that the mission's stabilisation strategy has been too heavily centred on "an expectation that the 2008-2009 rapprochement between DRC and Rwanda was enough to contain the conflict in the Kivus".

text: content LE Magazine February 2004 The "Strength Supplement" that Improves Brain Power By Dr. Edward R. Rosick Some researchers believe that creatine may even be useful in combating the debilitating mental effects of Alzheimer's disease. In cultured rat neurons, creatine has been shown to prevent the toxic effects of b-amyloid, a significant component of Alzheimer's disease. With this in mind, the authors of a recent study that examined elderly patients who have the ApoE genotype (known to be a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's) stated: "… the potentially therapeutic effects of creatine in cognitive impairment and AD [Alzheimer's disease] might merit further inquiry and should perhaps best not be overlooked."9 Keeping Mind and Memory Strong While creatine may prove useful in combating some of our most debilitating neurological diseases, recently published research highlights how creatine can help people without neurological disorders maintain optimal brain function and even improve memory. Several well-researched studies have conclusively demonstrated that brain creatine levels are tied to optimal memory ability and retention. One study published in 2000 examined working memory ability—defined as the brain's capacity to "hold" information for future use without the use of external cues—in children using magnetic resonance spectroscopy to measure various brain neurochemicals.10 The researchers found that children with the highest levels of creatine had the most robust working memory, and concluded: "… we speculate that higher resting creatine levels may allow for greater in-task activation [and] facilitate processing." Brain creatine levels also have been found to correlate with memory ability in older adults. A study published in February 2003 examined via magnetic resonance spectroscopy changes in the brain in 20 older adults (average age of 70) during memory training tasks.11 The researchers found that brain creatine levels rose during memory training. Another article published recently in Neuroscience Research examined the effects of supplemental creatine on mental fatigue in 24 adult men and women.12 In this double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, subjects who took 8 grams of creatine daily over a five-day period showed significantly less mental fatigue while performing simple mathematical calculations compared to the subjects who did not take creatine. The authors noted that while they did not know the specific mechanism of action, creatine appeared to help increase oxygen utilization in the brain. Maintaining Optimal Brain Health A study published in October 2003 sheds additional light on creatine's ability to increase memory and even intelligence.13 The researchers used vegetarians as their subjects, postulating that creatine supplementation might be more effective in vegans because they do not derive much creatine from their diet (creatine is found mainly in meat). Forty-five subjects (12 men and 33 women) aged 19 to 37 were enrolled in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study for a period of six weeks, during which some subjects were supplemented with 5 grams per day of creatine while the others received placebo. Both groups then took a battery of tests examining their memory and analytical skills. This was followed by a six-week "washout" period, during which no creatine or placebo was given, and then another six-week trial during which subjects who received creatine in the first trial were given placebo, and vice versa. Following this, another battery of tests for memory and intelligence was administered. As in earlier studies, subjects who took creatine scored significantly higher on tests for both memory and analytical skills compared to those who took placebo. The study's authors concluded: "creatine supplementation had a significant positive effect on both working memory and intelligence, both tasks that require [mental] speed of processing. These findings underline a dynamic and significant role of brain energy capacity [and creatine] in influencing brain performance." However begrudgingly and slow, mainstream medicine appears to be coming to the acceptance that the brain and body are one. Many have long held the notion that one has to forsake the brain to develop the body, and vice versa. Creatine, however, has been shown in multiple studies to be a safe, effective supplement that nourishes both the mind and body, helping each to achieve greater levels of functioning. References 1.

Residents in a south Fulton County neighborhood said they were surprised to hear that a pit bull attacked a killed a 2-year-old boy. Beau Rutledge was killed by a family pet on Wednesday after authorities say the mother went to the bathroom.
Lakisha Moss rushed into the home after hearing the screams from the boy's mother three doors down. "When she came out she collapsed to the ground and my mother just kind of grabbed her and held her and I ran to see what it was. And I opened the door and when I opened up the door I saw the baby laying there. He had been attacked by the dog and there was a pool of blood," said Moss.That dog remained locked in a bathroom for hours after the attack while police retrieved the little boy's body and investigated.Lakisha says that the mother had locked the dog away right after the attack and when she went into the home, it sounded like the dog was trying to come through a bathroom door."He was going off. He was really aroused. He was really barking. He seemed like he was trying to scratch against the door and things like that, trying to get out," Moss said. The dog's behavior yesterday surprised neighbors who know the family."Not vicious at all. It was a family pet. I don't know what went through the dog's mind but it wasn't a vicious dog," Kendra Clopton said. Friends and neighbors are grieving over the tragic loss of this child."It's probably something that could have been prevented but it wasn't. And there's nothing you can do now to change it but pray," Tammy Ellis said. A memorial for the boy has been placed outside the home. The pit bull was taken to the Fulton County Animal Shelter. Authorities have not said what will happen to the animal.

Fire crews responded to the Rockin' C Ranch in northern Smith County Saturday evening after a fire broke out at the lodge building. This is off of County Road 325 just off of Highway 14.
Officials tell KLTV that the fire in the fireplace spread into a part of the lodge building. Heavy smoke then quickly spread. Fire crews from Red Springs, Hawkins, Winona and Lindale all responded to the scene and extinguished the fire.
It is not yet clear if anyone was in the lodge at the time of this fire, but no injuries have been reported.

The first time I ever voted was a Saturday.
This was back in 2008, when I was a senior in high school. My mom and I spent over an hour one October Saturday waiting to cast our ballots at our local library. As a first-time voter, the excitement and energy was almost tangible — even weeks before Election Day.
Almost everyone I knew in high school who was also eligible to vote in that election voted early. Sometimes out of convenience, sometimes out of sheer excitement for then-Sen. Barack Obama's candidacy. And I'm glad to say early voting seemed to be just as popular this time around, with my Facebook feed blowing up with statuses about early voting the week before the election.
Nonetheless, over 48 hours after the electoral victory was given to the president, I still don't know whether my home state went red or blue.
That's right: I'm a Floridian.
Thankfully, unlike 2000, the presidential election didn't hinge on the returns out of Florida. Still, if one or two swing states had gone in favor of Republican challenger Mitt Romney, we may have woken up today without a president-elect.
Voters line up in the dark to beat the 7 p.m. deadline to cast their ballots at a polling station, Tuesday, Nov. 6 in Miami.
The pending count in Florida, however, does have congressional implications, USA TODAY reports. Rep. Allen West, a Republican, is trailing Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy and may pursue legal action to call for a recount.
Three elections after the infamous 2000 recount, and Florida remains, in layman's terms, a hot mess when it comes to voting.
The problem this time around, however, isn't hanging chads or other ballot malfunction issues (unless you count the length of the ballot — my absentee ballot was 12 pages long with numerous proposed state amendments).
On Election Day, in some areas of the state, particularly the very diverse and liberal counties in South Florida, voters stayed in line to vote past midnight — after the major television networks called the election in favor of Obama. (The polls in Florida close at 7 p.m. local time on Election Day, but those still in line may remain wait to cast their ballot.)
I commend those late-night voters and their tenacity in exercising their right to vote. Unfortunately, however, the state government has not made it any easier for eligible voters to do so.
Among the problems election officials faced were longer early voting hours over fewer days, fewer polling locations, a late flood of absentee ballots and heavy volume, according to NPR.
In an interview with USA TODAY, political scientist Charles Stewart called on the state to "professionalize its elections management, increase access to polling places, adopt best practices used elsewhere and expand absentee and early voting."
The District of Columbia and 32 states allowed early voting. Obviously, at least this election around, voters aren't waiting for the results from a state without early voting. That may not always be the case. A Tuesday in November — a work day during a season with severe weather (I'm thinking of the superstorm and nor'easter that sandwiched Election Day in the northeast) — is too inconvenient and too narrow a time frame to allow for high voter turnout.
Along with early voting, voter education is obviously key. Some Floridians reportedly took over 40 minutes to finish their ballots, and according to The Miami Herald, nearly 21% skipped those lengthy state amendment questions. So not only are voters having to endure long lines, but once in the voting booth, they aren't fully exercising their rights because they are unprepared or unconcerned.
Let's just hope this isn't the case come 2016. Get it together, Florida.

TALLAHASSEE -- A measure that would tighten oversight of Florida's 3,000 assisted living facilities and penalize those that abuse or neglect their residents was approved unanimously by the Senate Health Policy Committee on Thursday.
The bill (SB 646) requires the Agency for Health Care Administration to inspect ALFs, rate them for consumers and revoke or deny the licenses of those whose staffers deliberately harm residents. The bill would increase fines for repeated serious violations and require additional inspections in those cases.
Last year, a similar measure passed the Senate, but the House didn't take it up. This year, however, a flurry of related bills was introduced in the House.
• HB 187 by Rep. Mike Fasano, R-New Port Richey, would revoke the license of a facility for violations that resulted in a resident's death and fine and/or discipline the administrator.
• HB 1319 by Rep. Eddy Gonzalez, R-Hialeah, authorizes AHCA to suspend the license of facilities with repeated violations and establishes the requirements to qualify as an ALF administrator.
• HB 865 by Rep. Dennis Baxley, R-Ocala, would require the certification of ALF administrators; Sen. Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, is sponsoring the Senate companion.
• HB 1313 by Rep. Erik Fresen, R-Miami, designates the responsibilities of the Department of Children and Families, along with mental health service providers, for ALF residents who have a mental illness. It also provides an inspection schedule.
• HB 1015 by Rep. Ken Roberson, R-Punta Gorda, reorganizes the Office of State Long-Term Care Ombudsman and the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman Advisory Council, which have been the focus of much debate. The bill also would require long-term care facilities to provide inspection officials with access to facilities, residents and records. Sen. Darren Soto, D-Kissimmee, is the Senate sponsor.
AHCA has been under fire since a 2011 series by The Miami Herald, "Neglected to Death," depicted a series of hair-raising abuses at assisted living facilities that resulted in patients' deaths, an average of one per month at that time.
Representatives of the assisted living facility industry have maintained that only a handful of subpar facilities were responsible.
After Thursday's vote in the Senate Health Policy Committee, Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, the Senate sponsor of the bill, said she thought AHCA was fully committed to cracking down on bad actors among the ALFs. "And if they're not, they better be," she said.

The story of Team Bourbon Street
De Wotring
Ultimately, this trip was the greatest experience of my life. Not only did I get to meet so many extraordinary survivors of Katrina, but I also had the opportunity to become closer with the other members of our class. Furthermore through this trip, I really learned what hospitality and generosity was and by meeting Joyce, Maryland and Roger I was exposed to these two characteristics. All of us went down to Louisiana with the idea of helping families get back on their feet. I was expecting to see many who were so devastated and distraught due to the storm, however, Joyce, Maryland and Roger changed my whole perspective. They were so kind, funny and definitely proved that while the storm was catastrophic, it in no way broke their spirit. Out of the kindness of their hearts, the family went out of the way to give back to us. They catered us to scrumptious Louisiana cuisine and just showed us the most incredible time. I was so amazed by this family giving back to us in a time of their personal trial. I also felt somewhat guilty that even though they lost so many of their possessions, they went out of their way to show us a good time. Essentially this family is one that I will never forget. They will always be in my heart and not a day goes by that I will not think of them.
Lauren Shivone
Throughout this trip I was able to meet several people; each one influenced my life in a unique way. There are countless moments and interactions that will stay with me forever. One of these was shared with a homeowner, and one of my new found friends, Roger. We had just finished up working at his sister-in-law's home and were headed over to finish up some work at his mother-in-law's house. Riding in his truck he talked about the city, and how things were before the storm. He pointed out where houses had been completely picked up and moved to the center of the road, where cars and signs had been misplaced, and spoke of friends and family that still hadn't been contacted.
But the most significant thing he spoke of was in reference to his town, Gentilly's, evacuation. Gentilly, a predominantly black area is located on one side of the Mississippi river. The West Bank, a predominantly white area, is located on the other side of the river. The two are connected by a bridge that runs over the Mississippi. He explained how during the time of the hurricane, people from Gentilly tried to evacuate towards the West Bank by means of the bridge; only to their surprise they were denied entrance. There were armed individuals who would not allow them into the West Bank. On some accounts, there were even some individuals who were shot at. This story made me sick to my stomach. Already knowing the answer to my question, I couldn't help but ask Roger "why did this happen?" He said that while he hates to say or believe it, he acknowledged it as a race issue.
As a sociology major, I have learned a lot about race and its significance and existence in our country. But somehow reading about these types of things just does not compare to how I felt hearing it first hand. My first reaction to the story was a sick feeling in my stomach, and then it turned to frustration, anger, and disappointment. Why hadn't I heard of this story yet? Why hadn't it gotten more publicity? The media had been showing all kinds of footage on looters and other chaos that was occurring in New Orleans after the hurricane – this seemed like an unjust situation that deserved to be recognized with the rest. After working so closely with the people of Gentilly, I found that story extremely upsetting. While there are several things that I have taken away from this trip, I know this is a story that will stay with me forever.
Elisabeth Crichton
There are a lot of stories from this trip that I will carry with me through the rest of my life. I wish I could share them all with everyone, but for the sake of everyone's sanity I will share one story which left me really thinking about New Orleans and Katrina's effects.We were working with Joyce, probably the hardest working homeowner I had met, one morning to help her clear out her home. When we arrived we found all of her personal possessions to be destroyed by water, there was mold all the way up her walls, her roof was leaking, her ceiling and walls were destroyed, and there was still 3 inches of standing water in her front room. Joyce had survived the storm because she was able to leave at the last minute to go stay with relatives, but she was not able to take her dog with her and she has not been able to find him since the storm.
As we were outside taking drywall and insulation from her home to the FEMA trash pile (which at this point was about 20 feet wide and as tall as Joyce) an older couple drove up in their shiny silver Lincoln town car and asked Joyce for directions to the Ninth Ward. She told them that they were nowhere near the Ninth Ward. The man gave her an impatient look and proceeded to tell her that he wanted to get to the Ninth Ward because he wanted to see firsthand all the real destruction caused by the hurricane. At this point I felt like walking over to the man and telling him to open his eyes and look right in front of him to see the destruction. Instead, Joyce, wearing her white coveralls, rubber boots, rubber gloves, and surgical mask to protect her from the destruction within her own home, calmly told him that he needed to get back on the interstate to get to the Ninth Ward. The man, with a look of disgust, rolled up his window and drove away.
I'm not sure if the man ever made it to the Ninth Ward, but that day, as Joyce, me and my team continued to work to clean out her home, I realized why New Orleaneans had been flicking us off as we drove through their devastated neighborhoods in our brand new Scenic America tour bus with Virginia tags. They know that there are people who will come to the city not to help, not to donate their time or energy, but to gawk and selfishly observe the pain and suffering of so many people. It saddens me to think that these people still just don't get it, that 5 months later they just don't understand.
Richard Davis
On my trip to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina I learned that deep southern hospitality is indeed better than above the Mason-Dixon Line. This was represented in many instances. The first instance was when Chris's mom invited us to eat at their house while they were still in the process of rebuilding after flood damage. They were very nice and even offered their house as a place to stay during Mardi gras. One afternoon during lunch break we went to a Po-Boy shop called Cast-Net. The people who worked in the store were very friendly. Even though they were extremely busy, they still found time to walk the food out to all 32 of us in addition to the many people already in the restaurant. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was also friendlier than the same old food chains as seen throughout the rest of the country that everyone is so acquainted to. The third act of hospitality would have to be when we gutted the three black families' houses. They bought us fried chicken, chips, and drinks for lunch the days that we worked at their house. Later in the week they thanked us by taking the entire class out to eat where we had seafood gumbo, ribs, chicken, rice, enchiladas, salad, pound cake, strawberry short cake, ice cream, and king cake. In addition to the fine meal they provided us presents that varied from potato chips to t-shirts. Part of the family even said that they would come to our graduation for the next four years in order to thank us. Last but not least they even offered us their house for Jazz Fest and Mardi gras next year. This family tremendously showed us gratitude by their actions while other families showed us the same gratitude, but did not have the means to thank us the way that family did. Overall the hospitality of the people of New Orleans is like something I have never witnessed in any other part of the country.
Luke Marshall
This trip to New Orleans was by far the best overall experience of my college career and my life. Not only was I able to help several families restore a sense of normalcy, but I also became much closer to my classmates. I didn't know half of the people going on the trip when we first met and now I'm good friends with all of them. Working constructively and having to live with a group definitely has its ups and downs. However, we have a bond between us now that was worth working and living in close quarters. We came together to achieve a common goal and change people's lives who had been affected by the hurricane. We disproved, or I should say the people we helped disproved the stereotype that New Orleans is just a city made up of uneducated and deliquent black people. That statement is not true or fair at all. The people are wonderful, intelligent, and compassionate people and deserve to be given help to rebuild their homes and lives. And in the case of the Collins family, their generosity knows no real bound. Two out of the three days we worked at Joyce Collins' home we received fried chicken for lunch. Furthermore, the night before we left they invited us to dinner at their family restaurant and gave us gifts like t-shirts and mardi gras masks.
On a more serious note, however, I fear that the city of New Orleans has a long way to go to succeed in recovering from Hurricane Katrina. The city might not ever be the same. Yet, that does not mean we should abandon the relief effort. New Orleans is home for more than 400,000 people, and to give up on trying to rebuild their home would be inhuman. How ever long the relief might take, whether it be ten years or twenty years, it will be worth it simply to see the smile on the homeowners face after you have helped them in their struggle.
I wrote in my journal about the fact that i didn't mind paying money to travel to New Orleans. And the fact that i didn't care one bit that i wasn't getting paid to help these people. There is no price or fee on changing a person's life. There is no price on forming new friendships and a bond with classmates. Lastly, there is certainly no price on love. Love helped us find the will and strength to work hard for the families even when we didn't feel like it. That alone is what i remeber the most about my New Orleans experience long after other memories have left me.
