I suggest that everyone who has to go through the scanner reach down into their pants and stick their finger into their butt hole just before they have to point their finger at the detector.
Why do it yourself, when it only takes a *little* encouragement before THE TSA offers to insert THEIR finger in your butthole?
Keeping in mind that THE TSA will not stop until their knuckles are knocking your uvula, or further press-the-digit-ation is blocked at their shoulder (whichever comes last).

MADISON (WSAU) Penalties are being ramped up for individuals who hit, shove or kick a Wisconsin lawmaker or his or her family members. State Representative Garey Bies is the sponsor. The Republican from Sister Bay says harassment of lawmakers has long been an issue, but it has become worse since the law ending collective bargaining for most state workers was signed into effect two years ago.
Bies says he supports freedom of speech, but he says there's a line people shouldn't cross. Republican state Representative Samantha Kerkman and Democratic state Senator Lena Taylor are co-sponsors.
More than two dozen states have similar laws on the books.

September 7, 2012
Weekly Show
Did Obama's appeal to the nation for a second term resonate? How did Democrats rebut Republican attacks? Plus what was Bill Clinton's ultimate contribution to the convention? Also, did Friday's job numbers boost or quell Obama's post-convention shine? Joining Gwen: Dan Balz, The Washington Post; Peter Baker, The New York Times; Michael Duffy, TIME Magazine; Jeanne Cummings, Bloomberg News.
On the Webcast Extra: How did past political conventions compare to this year? Did both parties use their prime time effectively? Did their message reach independents?
Lessons Learned in Tampa and Charlotte
Gwen's Take
CHARLOTTE -- I am typing this while sitting in a darkened arena. From my vantage point high above the convention floor, thousands of happy Democrats are cheering a video collage of Barack Obama's campaign and Presidency. In this version of pro-Obama utopia, the hits fly by -- the misses not so much. We watch Sarah Palin dismiss the President's background as a community organizer, and immediately cut to video of then-candidate Obama brushing off his shoulder Jay Z-style and singing a little Al Green. Oh, and then he orders a hit on Osama bin Laden.
Five Things to Watch in Charlotte
Gwen's Take
Charlotte, N.C. — We dodged a hurricane, survived the gripping humidity and thrived for a week in the belly of the beast — a national political convention that one first time attendee Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc), said reminded him of a trade show.
So let's rinse and the repeat, this time in the Tar Heel State, where Democrats are already descending to renominate Barack Obama. The incumbent gets the privilege of the last word when it comes to scheduling events like these. So expect much of what you see here to be reactive.

Just when it seemed as if there could not possibly be any more red, white and blue speeches ringing across the airways from the convention floor, the Democrats are unveiling their counterpunch to the Republican show that has been under way all week in Tampa.
Obama team sharpens attacks on rivals' character
Essential Reads
As the Obama campaign heads into its convention next week, Democrats see openings both to fill in unpopular details of Mitt Romney's agenda left unsaid by Republicans in Tampa this week and to raise new questions about Mr. Romney's character after widespread criticism of misstatements by him and his running mate, Paul D. Ryan.

The counterprogramming punch that Democrats planned to land on the GOP at its national convention has been pulled.

"It caught my eye," Bernstein told National Journal. Bernstein immediately fired off an email to the intern who took the notes to make sure it was accurate and not a rough or garbled translation. "I thought, 'Did he really say that?'" To his dismay, the intern wrote back that those were Obama's words. Verbatim.

Your Clever Toddler in Week 78: Encouraging Compliance
What your child learns this week
Your Child's Brain in Week 78
Because your child learns to climb during this second year, you might find him one day standing in the center of the dining room table. Nervous, your response might be, "Get down from there right now!" Will your child quickly and apologetically descend from the table with haste? Probably not.
Children do begin to comply with parents' commands between 12 and 18 months, but it's sporadic at best—older kids have a better track record when it comes to being responsive to Mom and Dad's requests (until adolescence, when compliance is challenged all over again!). What we know about this age group is that regardless of their temperament, toddlers who feel more supported by their parents are the ones who comply more frequently. This means that if you don't want your child to standing on your table, you must be willing to gently guide him to climb down—without excessive scolding.
What the Research Shows
In one study, researchers observed mothers and their toddlers at play, then continued to watch them during clean-up time to see if they noticed any correlating behaviors between the two activities. After analyzing their observations, researchers found that the children whose mothers were more "emotionally available" during playtime were more likely to go along with the clean-up task. What does that mean?
Researchers gave this label to mothers who were responsive to their kids throughout the play session, ones who seemed to have developed a rhythm, of sorts, with their toddlers. These were moms who knew when to step in to assist with a task—if, say, a play situation became frustrating—and when to offer emotional support, especially when their children were sad or distressed. These "emotionally available" mothers communicated genuine affection for their toddlers, and refrained from becoming annoyed with their children's behaviors. Each provided some structure for her child's play but once the child was engaged, Mom would allow the child to lead the activity; then she extended the play theme to keep it interesting for her child.
It appeared to researchers that in exchange for these positive parenting traits, which all express love and trust, the toddlers would grant more "Ok, Mom!" behaviors at clean-up time. Fascinating!
Week 78 Brain Booster
Indeed, being routinely supportive of your toddler—really, in all settings—can increase her compliant behaviors. But let's be real: No matter how responsive a parent you are, there will be moments when your toddler will dig in her heels and shout "No!" to even ice cream or a trip to the playground.

New policies will eliminate co-pays or deductibles for some services.
This post comes from Mark Huffman at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
Starting Sept. 23, a range of preventive health care procedures, including colonoscopies and mammograms, must be provided to consumers at no out-of-pocket expense under any new health insurance policy.
The White House said Wednesday that under the health care law passed earlier this year, insurance companies must cover preventive services without the policyholder paying a deductible or co-payment.
Cut the cost of visits to animal attractions year-round.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Consumers visiting animal attractions this summer can count on encountering lions and tigers and -- bargains.
While most of the leisure attraction industry, including amusement parks and museums, struggled to draw consumers during the recession, many zoos and aquariums reported record attendance. The North Carolina Zoo, for example, saw its highest attendance in 13 years during its last fiscal year, which ended June 30. In total, 749,627 people visited -- 20,210 more than during the previous year.
The combination of low entry fees at zoos and aquariums and their proximity to home is a draw for people on a budget, says John Gerner, managing director of Leisure Business Advisors LLC, a Richmond, Va.-based consulting group.
Here's how to save:
They clearly have a significant value conflict. Can they reach a compromise?
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Recently, I posted an article about setting goals with your partner. In the comments, Brittany left a wonderful question that I felt deserved a post all its own:
What if you have your shared goals, but one partner doesn't have the financial gumption to see it through? I'm not married, not even engaged, but I'm in a relationship that looks like it might be heading for the long term. But my partner is awful with money and even worse with savings. We have a few shared long/medium-term goals (and one is a life goal of his, so I'm positive it's not my goal; I'm just calling "ours"), but my partner isn't making any progress toward the goal. He's far more likely to make a bunch of little frivolous purchases now. ("Eh, it's just $10 … it's just $20 … I'll save when I have a reasonable amount to save.")
U.S. Tax Court rules that nonprofit status would not be appropriate.
How thoughtful is this? A California sperm bank is willing to donate its product to wannabe moms, who would otherwise have to pay if they can't find their own supplier. Sperm can cost anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars a vial, and you generally need more than one. That's pricey.
So why couldn't that sperm bank obtain nonprofit, tax-exempt status from the IRS? The U.S. Tax Court recently ruled against the Free Fertility Foundation, settling a six-year dispute.
The court cited a couple of reasons, Kathy Kristof reports at CBS MoneyWatch. Most important seems to be that the sperm bank has only one donor -- the foundation's founder and director, Donor fwcn02453.

Buying most cell phones takes minutes, but getting one of the must-have new smart-phone handsets is an endeavor that could last weeks.
Apple's iPhone 4, which sold out of pre-orders for its June 24 launch, currently has a three-week wait through the company and AT&T. The HTC Droid Incredible, launched in April on Verizon Wireless' network, ships within a month of ordering, and Sprint's Evo 4G (another HTC phone) is backordered indefinitely -- the company's site isn't taking orders, and refers customers to check back later.
Cities are using special toll lanes for drivers who are willing to pay for the privilege. Are "Lexus lanes" fair?
Would you pay more to drive faster through high-traffic areas?
Highway officials in a number of cities are deciding that many drivers would be willing to pay to escape highway congestion.
They're installing what are known as HOT (high-occupancy toll) or express toll lanes, where you pay a toll to be able to drive in what used to be the carpool lane or, in some cases, newly constructed lanes. In some cities, vehicles with more than a certain number of occupants get a free ride.
Cities, states experiment with how to force banks to clean up rotting properties.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Health officials in Orange County, Calif., are pondering whether mosquitoes breeding in the 6,000 to 7,000 stagnant swimming pools in abandoned homes there are helping spread the deadly West Nile virus.
The bugs pick it up from birds and pass it to humans, says The Orange County Register, noting elsewhere that distressed homes make up 31% of all properties for sale in the county.
All across the country, abandoned homes -- a legacy of the economic and mortgage meltdown -- are creating blight and trouble for neighborhoods and cities.

'Recently, CIA Director David Petraeus made headlines with a speech given at the summit for In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital firm. In this talk, Petraeus discussed the emerging "internet of things" and the implications it will have for increased levels of surveillance. Petraeus explained that, because of the rise of gadgets which are connected and controlled by apps, intelligence agencies will no longer need to place spy devices inside your home – you will do it for them.
In conjunction with a recent unveiling of a new low-powered computer chip by ARM, one of the world's largest chip companies, the fact is virtually every piece of electronic equipment (including appliances) can be controlled via apps and Internet-based systems. It is for this reason that Petraeus stated that the CIA will be able to read these devices via the Internet and even radio waves outside of the home.'
'New technologies are making the work of CIA Director David Petraeus a whole lot easier. According to him, the advent of wireless and web-connected devices has caused citizens to bug their own home, effectively allowing the spy agency to collect a wealth of information with great ease. If that wasn't enough, people now readily share the most (in)significant details of their lives through Facebook, which now displays all of this information in a very convenient time-line.
Another concept that is brushed upon in this article is cloud computing. Touted as the next big thing in computer technology, cloud computing is about storing all of your data in "remote secure servers" – ultimately eliminating the need for computer hard drives and storage devices such as USB sticks. While this technology sounds very convenient, it is set to cause a drastic change in the world of computing: In just a few years, almost all of the personal files, pictures and data of computer users across the world will be stored in gigantic servers that will be owned by only a few mega-companies. Apple already has a system called iCloud that automatically copies the contents of iPhones and iPads (including pics, contacts, etc.) to a remote server. As Pertraeus himself says, all of this information is now "located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled" by the CIA – and whoever else. Here's an article about Petraeus love of new technologies from Wired.
CIA Chief: We'll Spy on You Through Your Dishwasher
More and more personal and household devices are connecting to the internet, from your television to your car navigation systems to your light switches. CIA Director David Petraeus cannot wait to spy on you through them.
Earlier this month, Petraeus mused about the emergence of an "Internet of Things" — that is, wired devices — at a summit for In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital firm. "'Transformational' is an overused word, but I do believe it properly applies to these technologies," Petraeus enthused, "particularly to their effect on clandestine tradecraft."
All those new online devices are a treasure trove of data if you're a "person of interest" to the spy community. Once upon a time, spies had to place a bug in your chandelier to hear your conversation. With the rise of the "smart home," you'd be sending tagged, geolocated data that a spy agency can intercept in real time when you use the lighting app on your phone to adjust your living room's ambiance.
"Items of interest will be located, identified, monitored, and remotely controlled through technologies such as radio-frequency identification, sensor networks, tiny embedded servers, and energy harvesters — all connected to the next-generation internet using abundant, low-cost, and high-power computing," Petraeus said, "the latter now going to cloud computing, in many areas greater and greater supercomputing, and, ultimately, heading to quantum computing."
Petraeus allowed that these household spy devices "change our notions of secrecy" and prompt a rethink of "our notions of identity and secrecy." All of which is true — if convenient for a CIA director.
The CIA has a lot of legal restrictions against spying on American citizens. But collecting ambient geolocation data from devices is a grayer area, especially after the 2008 carve-outs to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Hardware manufacturers, it turns out, store a trove of geolocation data; and some legislators have grown alarmed at how easy it is for the government to track you through your phone or PlayStation.
That's not the only data exploit intriguing Petraeus. He's interested in creating new online identities for his undercover spies — and sweeping away the "digital footprints" of agents who suddenly need to vanish.
"Proud parents document the arrival and growth of their future CIA officer in all forms of social media that the world can access for decades to come," Petraeus observed. "Moreover, we have to figure out how to create the digital footprint for new identities for some officers."
It's hard to argue with that. Online cache is not a spy's friend. But Petraeus has an inadvertent pal in Facebook.
Why? With the arrival of Timeline, Facebook made it super-easy to backdate your online history. Barack Obama, for instance, hasn't been on Facebook since his birth in 1961. Creating new identities for CIA non-official cover operatives has arguably never been easier. Thank Zuck, spies. Thank Zuck.

אלימות יס"מ בפינוי בסלמה 6 בתאריך 04/10/2011 (by 0543344770)
Israeli police forcibly evicting Palestinians from their home
'Sameer, father of 4 children, arrived to Jaffa tent about six weeks ago after his mother who supported and helped him died. About a week ago burned the tent where the family lived and he was looking for his family housing solution. A few weeks ago his sister Znab invaded an abandoned apartment in Selma 6 Street, and near the apartment that was another abandoned apartment, his family decided to invade.
04 oct 2011 15:45. Large forces of Riot Police arrive to evacuate three families who invaded to the housing complex on 6-8 Salameh Street in Jaffa. The cops arrived without any police woman or social workers, and as soon as riot police forces approach to the family who sits outside the house, Sameer grabs his daughter Diana and ran with her into the building. The riot police forces was running after him, taking him with his daughter, knocking them to the floor, and begin to beat Samar'
'The police will be given a public order power allowing them to clear the streets and tell the public to leave an area during a riot or other disorder, under proposals for curfews outlined by the Home Office.
The power entitles a police superintendent to declare a specific district a public "no go" area for a limited time – for the first time since the Riot Act was removed from the statute book for England and Wales in 1973.
A Home Office consultation paper published on Thursday stops short of making it a criminal offence to be outdoors in a curfew zone, but says it would be an offence to refuse a police instruction to leave the area. It leaves open the question of what penalty might be imposed.'

Understanding the fundamentals of organizational behavior and change management are essential for facilitating innovation in any organization. In this course, education professionals examine the role of instructional designers in managing change within an organization. They evaluate leadership qualities and practices that foster and sustain innovation in various settings, such as corporations, higher education, K–12 education, government, healthcare, and nonprofit organizations. They also explore the resistance to change and barriers to innovation as well as problem-solving techniques that promote competitive advantage.
Effective instructional design begins with an understanding of the learning process. The behaviorist, cognitive, constructivist, and social learning theories, and their relationship to instructional practices and course design, is also examined. Factors that influence learning, such as learning styles, motivation, and engagement, are also explored.
In this course, educators learn the foundational principles and elements of the instructional systems development process, from analysis through evaluation. They explore commonly used instructional design models, such as ADDIE, and they learn how to apply them in an education or training environment. They gain an understanding of the preliminary phases of instructional design models, such as writing instructional objectives and conducting analyses. Educators also focus on incorporating sound instructional strategies into the design and development of instructional systems and into the development of prototypes in real-world instructional settings.
This course is designed to extend educators' knowledge and application of the instructional design process. Educators gain a deeper understanding of best practices for implementing and evaluating education and training programs. They engage in a variety of assignments that emphasize the delivery of instruction and the various strategies for assessing student learning both during and after instruction. Educators demonstrate their understanding of course concepts by solving a real-world instructional or performance improvement problem. (Prerequisites: Intended to be taken after EIDT 6100.)
In this course, educators take a systematic approach to the design and development of multimedia for instruction. They combine their knowledge of effective instructional strategies with the basic principles of visual literacy, Web design, and multimedia design to develop effective and usable learning objects. Applying concepts learned in the course, educators gain practical experience creating an interactive learning experience, which they beta test in a learning management system.
An introduction to the principles and processes of research is provided in this course. Education professionals explore the various steps and considerations of the research process.

Additionally, they consider the ethical responsibilities of the researcher.
Online education could be the driving force that transforms education and training practices in the 21st century. Through this lens, education professionals explore the current trends impacting the field of distance education and their implications for the design and development of distance-learning programs. They examine the different models, theories, and technologies used in the development and delivery of online education and training programs. They also explore the implications and considerations of designing instruction for blended, fully online, instructor-led, and self-paced learning environments.
Purposeful and careful planning is a key element to the success of any program. In this course, education professionals explore the systematic approaches to project management. Education professionals learn to use various project management tools, procedures, and methodologies, which they apply to projects in a real-world education or training environment. They also analyze the interrelated nature of the triple constraints of time, cost, and scope as well as their influence on the overall quality of the project.
Program evaluation is the final step in an effective systematic approach to instructional design. In this course, educators explore the models, principles, and practices employed in conducting effective and thorough evaluations of instructional and performance improvement programs. They learn how to select an evaluation approach; develop an evaluation plan; design or select data collection tools; and collect, analyze, and interpret data related to authentic cases.
This course is the culminating experience for the program. Educators are provided with the opportunity to exhibit their knowledge, skills, and creativity in an authentic situation. They demonstrate their ability to integrate instructional design principles and practical skills and apply them to a real-world learning or performance problem. Educators work with a client in a consultative capacity or explore a case study that may include front-end analyses; design, development, and implementation of performance support and instructional materials; and/or evaluation of an instructional or performance support program.

Technology is rapidly changing the way people learn throughout higher education, businesses and government agencies. With the advancement of emerging technologies, the dynamics of how people learn, both onsite and online, is much more accessible and interactive. The web, social networking applications, on-line applications and mobile learning are redefining the way we communicate information.
Realizing this, organizations are focused on hiring and developing talented and knowledgeable personnel to help reshape the way information is created, integrated and delivered. Instructional Designers are becoming a very important part of the curriculum development process. Those who can analyze learning or training needs and design technology-supported instructional materials have seen double-digit career growth within the last four years.
The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis released data in April 2008 that indicate strong, continued growth for this field. Technology enhanced earning trends will continue to open doors to job opportunities in explosive growth areas as online learning in P–12 and higher education.

In a new study commissioned by The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership entitled Educators, Technology and 21st Century Skills: Dispelling Five Myths, light was shed on the debates and the intersections of technology and 21st century skills from the underexplored vantage point of school-based educators.
The study addresses five myths about technology use in education—particularly by teachers—and educators' perceptions about the effects of technology use on student learning, behaviors and skills.
The findings, based on a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. K–12 teachers, principals and assistant principals, suggest that teachers have a vital role to play at the intersection of technology and 21st century expertise—modeling their confidence with technology, guiding young minds toward constructive educational purposes, and teaching students the tried and new skills for college and career readiness in a competitive world.

In Search of Value: Funeral Homes & Mega Banks?
John is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Legendary mutual fund Guru Peter Lynch once said he loved "hated companies with ugly names in boring, out of favor businesses". Seems rather intuitive the masses would not pile into companies that fit that dubious description. And that may imply favorable pricing. Lynch said his idea of a great name is "John Black Funeral Home".
In that spirit, following the 2008 near death experience of the financial industry--where can you find an uglier, more hated business than banking...specifically, big bulky Mega Banks...more specifically....and its almost painful to say..Bank of America (NYSE: BAC)?!
There's a lot to hate. Return On Assets of 0.34%, a third of the mediocre Industry Average. Thats not just bad, its microscopic. Scared of debt? Even after recently paying it down, Long Term Debt to Capital is 54.4%, comfortably above the average of large Banks. BAC customers left in droves in 2009 and 2010. The bank was the poster child, possibly even the inspiration for, the Occupy Wall Street movement.
A Brilliant Bubble Bath
So why did Warren Buffett, relaxing in his Bath Tub at home in Omaha, come up with the brilliant idea of phoning BAC CEO Brian Moynihan with a plan to invest $5 billion in the struggling behemoth? Better yet, with BAC Bonds yielding 7%+ and BAC Preferred Shares yielding about 8%....why would Buffett negotiate a deal paying him only 6%? Because he got warrants for 700 million shares he can exercise over the next decade at just over $7/share..... the approximate price at the time of the August 2011 deal.
There is still great value in Bank of America for the patient investor. With the stock at $9.80, Book Value is $20.40 and Tangible Book Value is $13.48 a share. BAC sells for a 52% discount to Book Value and a 27% discount to Tangible Book Value.
There are major challenges. Bank of America trails all of its major competitors in revenue growth. Its 2 percent Deposit Growth is a fraction of other Big Banks. And Loan Growth, which Moynihan says this week will be higher this year compared to last year--still trails other large Banks. Comparatively, Bank of America comes up short by almost every metric of Growth. But a Value Investor asks instead "so what do I get for each dollar I invest"? You simply are not paying for Growth.
The risk of overpaying for Bank of America stock appears small.
Price to Sales Ratio:
Bank of America 0.52%
Citigroup 0.56%
Wells Fargo 1.65%
US Bancorp 2.50%
Investors today price Bank of America stock at just 0.52 times Sales. Only Citigroup (NYSE: C), among its major competitors, is nearly that cheap. Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), for example, will cost you 1.65 times Sales. So Investors say each buck of sales at Bank of America is worth about 2/3rds less than Wells. Better yet, Mr. Market values a buck of Bank of America's sales at one-fifth the value it assigns to each Dollar of US Bancorp (NYSE: USB) sales. Talk about low expectations!
The Market Says BAC Has a Negative Franchise Value
So the stock market says Bank of America has NO franchise value. The market assigns a Franchise value of minus 27% (discount to Tangible Book). But what type of businesses sell at a steep discount to Book and Tangible Book ? Businesses with declining Book Value, businesses sucking cash, businesses that are deteriorating. BAC's Tangible Book Value not only stopped declining, its been slowly and steadily increasing. The mortgage write downs are turning into mortgage write ups as the value of BAC's mortgage portfolios have risen sharply with US home prices up 7% the past year. BAC consumer and business lending is up year over year. Global Wealth and Investment Management is a Powerhouse with assets under management up substantially to $2.3 Trillion.
BAC continues the dirty work of shedding Branches, selling non core assets, eliminating costs, and reducing Employee Count as it trims down to a leaner Operation.
Analysts expect regulators to permit BAC to return Capital to shareholders in 2013. Its not unreasonable to expect the paltry 0.4% payout to increase 5 or 6 fold to 2.0 to 2.5%. Regulators should acknowledge what Buffett observed recently: Big US Banks "have Capital coming out of their Ears".
And its not like Wall Street hasn't noticed...Year to Date Bank of America is no less than the number one performing stock on the Dow 30. Talk about climbing a Wall of Worry!
Year to Date Bank Stock Performance:
Bank of America UP 76.98%
Citigroup UP 30.06%
Wells Fargo UP 18.19%
US Bancorp UP 16.93%
But what if regulators determine Bank of America is too big to fail? Or management decides BAC is too big to SUCCEED? That could be the biggest near term bonanza for shareholders. The question then is--what multiple would BAC assets fetch starting with a baseline of $13.40/share Tangible Book? The average large Bank commands a share price of 1.25 Times Book Value and Merrill Lynch would fetch a good deal more than that multiple.
The obvious big negative is-- BAC seems to face endless litigation risk. But this is widely known and acknowledged and management believes its adequately reserved for that risk. The challenge for BAC is to step up its profitability and get growth from its core operations. Higher rates will boost profitability and the company will continue to benefit from an improving US housing market defined by rising home sales and higher prices. But its not without risk. Especially if housing or the general economy turns south.

The bill to allow horse slaughter in Oklahoma cleared the Senate and is now on Governor Mary Fallin's desk. Channel 8 spoke with a Claremore horse dealer who hates the idea of horse slaughter but calls it necessary.
"We have to have slaughter. I don't like it," said Rodney Payne of Arrow P Equine Sales. He has worked with horses for 50 years and said he loves them. However, he said he sees many horses sold to Mexico for slaughter. He said horse meat is a delicacy in Mexico, Europe, and other areas. The Oklahoma bill would allow the meat to be sold to other countries for consumption.
Payne said there is an overpopulation of horses and many of them are abandoned with high feed prices and other factors. He said keeping each of his 60-70 horses costs him about $5 per day to feed. He has rescued several horses from slaughter and wishes more people would do the same.
"There's not enough people out there to take care of all these horses," said Payne.
Channel 8 has heard from many opponents of the bill, saying killing horses borders on being inhumane.
Payne said people are given the opportunity to buy horses before they are currently sold to people that slaughter them in other countries. He said allowing slaughter in Oklahoma would mean more regulation of their deaths. He believes not many people are educated about the cruelty some abandoned or mistreated horses are subjected to.
The bill passed the Senate 32 to 14 Tuesday. The bill's author has received death threats.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

What to wear sailing?
In our opinion the three layer system is the starting point for all your marine sailing clothing requirements. Adapting it to suit the individual requirments, such as when, where and type of sailing. For example we would recommend a base layer, such as a Gill i2 tech or the Helly Hansen Lifa, which will transport body moisture away from the skin, keeping you warm, comfortable and dry. Then you'd look to add a mid layer, Gill, Henri Lloyd and Musto all do good fleece salopettes and jackets. They're inexpensive and an extremely effective insulating layer.
Finally the protection layer, namely the 'foulies', such as the OS2 range from Gill, the MPX from Musto, the Fjord from Helly Hansen and the Explorer from Henri Lloyd, all offer laminate, breathable fabrics, with all the necassasry technical detail to protect you day or night, come rain or shine.
Then you can look to footwear, we stock a wide range of boat shoes like the classic leather deck shoe from the likes of Sebago and Dubarry boots, the sailing trainer from top brands such as Henri Lloyd and Harken, and the performance deck shoe from Musto, plus the ever popular waterproof boots. We also stock the top rated sailing boots, the Dubarry Ultima boot, especially popular with hardcore sailors, and the similar cheaper alternatives from Quayside.

Weather forecasters say many parts of Michigan will be meeting or beating high-temperature records.
TV5 Meteorologist Catherine Bodak's forecast says Mid Michigan's recent weather will resemble conditions closer to what we would experience in the spring rather than the middle of winter. Rain is likely today and tonight as a very strong low pressure system lifts through the area pulling additional warmth and moisture. Thunderstorms and heavy rain are possible as well as areas of dense fog and freezing rain. Temperatures will be in record territory this afternoon as they soar into the mid/upper 50s. The combination of melting snow and rapid runoff on the frozen ground will bring the potential for localized flooding. Much colder weather will make a return to the area by the end of the workweek.
Meteorologist Matt Mosteiko of the National Weather Service in Oakland County's White Lake Township says the Detroit area is expected to reach Tuesday's high temperature of 58 degrees set in 1914. He says the temperature Wednesday is expected to top the record of 53 for that day in 1969.
He says Flint, Saginaw and other areas also are expected "to make a run" at their record temperatures in the low 50s.
Mosteiko says strong south winds and a strong jet stream are bringing temperatures and precipitation more typical of the southern U.S. The weather pattern also has brought dense fog and flooding.
He says the winter warmth ends with a cold front coming Wednesday.

Woodson tipped his hand tonight, giving strong indication combo guard Tour'e Murry is close to nailing down roster
Woodson tipped his hand tonight, giving strong indication combo guard Tour'e Murry is close to nailing down roster
spotg. The big guard shot 5 of 7 for 14 points in his second straight bonanza game. With small forward C.J. Leslie getting a DNP, it's clear the undrafted North Carolina State forward is headed toward the chopping block. That's the opening Murry likely will get. Murry played excellently in the summer league in Las Vegas and hasn't disappointed. Woodson said afterward he believes Murry can make it as "a good pro.'' Leslie? His erratic play in Vegas and during camp means at best, the Knicks try to keep him for their D-League team in Erie after cutting him in an attempt to develop him. After all, they did give him half a guarantee - more than $200,000. Lots of scouts on hand tonight in Baltimore, perhaps partly to see Leslie and center Cole Aldrich, who is being outworked by Ike Diogu and Josh Powell in the battle for the final big-man spot. Leslie is not deserving of one of the 15 slots even though Grunwald loved him coming out.

When lifelong racing enthusiast Gary Zarounian, awoke in IU Health Methodist Hospital for the first time in five days, some of the first words he heard were "Do you believe in miracles?"
IU Health Physicians Cardiologist George Revtyak, MD, spoke them as Gary woke from a medically induced coma after collapsing outside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
On Sunday, July 28, 2013, Gary had just attended the Brickyard 400 and was walking across the parking lot when he collapsed onto the hood of a car and fell to the ground. Fortunately, his friends spotted him and summoned help. Immediately a nurse he never met performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and compressions on his chest. Soon after, a state trooper took over and called paramedics.
Gary was rushed to IU Health Methodist Hospital where he was placed in a medical coma to help him recover from cardiac arrest. The physician expertise and level of care provided by the Level 1 Trauma Center was critical to Gary's successful recovery over the course of 13 days.
Back on his feet and ready for more racing – Gary looks forward to supporting Methodist Health Foundation and IU Health Methodist Hospital during the month of May at Rev. He's invited Dr. Revtyak, the former state trooper who was at his aid, Sargent Wix and several paramedics to be his guest at this year's event.
"I want to help them save many more lives – just as they helped save mine."

Reporting from the Northern Neck of Virginia
My father's family landed in 1942 Los Angeles as if by immaculate conception, unburdened by any past.
Growing up, I knew all about how my mother's grandparents came to California from southern France and Sweden. But my dad's side was a mystery.
All I heard were a few stories about my grandfather as a youth in Hannibal, Mo., how he found a tarantula in a shipment of bananas at his dad's corner store, how he and a friend once rode motorcycles out west. But no one talked about Mozingos further back, or where they came from.
I might never have given the subject any thought except for a strange word: our name. All my life, people had asked me about it.
I began to look into it, and the more I learned, the more I realized our history had been buried. My curiosity turned to compulsion. I had to unearth the truth about our origins and the forces that had obscured them for centuries. I wanted to know my forebears and feel myself among them, to see if their forgotten personalities and struggles and secrets somehow still lived within us.
I set out last year to learn our story, traveling from the Tidewater of Virginia to the hollows of Kentucky and southeastern Indiana and beyond. At times, I struggled to absorb what I was finding, and I met Mozingos who were skeptical of it, or ambivalent, or fiercely resistant.
I learned that our early ancestry reflected not so much a quirk of American history as the messy start of it, seeding a furious internal conflict that continues today.
With us, the whole battle was embodied in a family — and a name.
My parents always said they thought "Mozingo" was Italian. But this was offered only as theory.
We were open to suggestions.
One came from an acquaintance who said he found a bunch of Mozingos in a phone book in the Imperial Valley and was told they all were Basque shepherds. On this authority, we became French Basque.
Next we heard that "Mozingo" was an Americanized version of "Mont Zingeau," a mountain in France or maybe Switzerland I could never find on a map.
All of this was beginning to feel a bit dubious when I met Sherrie Mazingo, whose name is a variation of ours. Sherrie was a broadcast journalism professor at USC when I was a grad student there in 1996.
She was black — and she had news.
She'd learned from genealogists at a family reunion in North Carolina that the Mozingos probably descended from a "Bantu warrior" from the Congo who became an indentured servant in Virginia in the 1600s.
That would mean that all Mozingos in America — including me, who grew up in Dana Point, the blue-eyed, surfing son of a dentist — had a Bantu last name.
My first reaction was to laugh. But upon further reflection, it seemed feasible. Ten or so generations had passed. Traces of a race could easily disappear in three.
My family took the news as a great lark, while duly noting that my grandmother would roll over in her grave.
In search of the meaning of 'Mozingo'
Curious about his unusual name, a journalist and father traces his lineage to the 1600s — and unearths a conflicted past.
Joe Mozingo explores the creek near Warsaw, Va., where his forebear, Edward Mozingo, grew tobacco and raised livestock as a tenant farmer after suing for his freedom in 1672. (Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times)

Says she won't go see his new movie out of principle!!
THAT is a great wife!!!
And now, in the interest of equal time, here is a message from the National Institute of Pancakes: It reads, and I quote, **** waffles.......G Carlin
You know you're an obsessed football fan when you read the title of this thread as:
"My wife loves Riley Cooper...."
Mark Wahlberg is a great actor too, but...
On the other end of the spectrum, I normally can't stand that Patton Oswalt guy, but...
Insanity, with "Eye of the Tiger" playing in the background, accumulated the highest point total this week and beat Hakeem Nicks 137.95 - 100.75, overcoming an 18.22-point spread.
The movie is called "Silver Linings Playbook" with Robert DeNiro. I'll stick with watching Cooper's more well-known role in the Hangover movies. I don't see how anyone should be spending money to watch a romance movie involving the No-Superbowl Eagles. That's just a double screw up.

EcoSaver is a powerful new energy management feature of XFINITY Home. Smart enough to let you "set and forget," it helps you reduce air conditioning and heating costs automatically. EcoSaver works with your XFINITY Home thermostat to help run your home's heating and cooling (HVAC) systems more efficiently
How much does EcoSaver cost?
EcoSaver is included with the XFINITY Home - Secure 350 and XFINITY Home - Control 150 tiers of service. XFINITY Home - Secure 300 or XFINITY Home - Control 100 customers who purchase and install an XFINITY Home thermostat can add EcoSaver for $6.95 a month.
How do I get EcoSaver?
If you would like to add XFINITY Home or the EcoSaver feature, just call 1-800-XFINITY. Existing XFINITY Home Secure 350 (formerly Premier) subscribers may call 1-877-790-1907 and select option 1 to opt-in to EcoSaver.
What do I need to run EcoSaver?
EcoSaver requires a subscription to XFINITY Home and an XFINITY Home thermostat.
What is an XFINITY Home thermostat?
Any model of thermostat purchased through Comcast for use with the XFINITY Home system.
How does EcoSaver work?
EcoSaver takes note of your XFINITY Home thermostat schedule, behaviors (e.g. manual temperature adjustments), plus high/low external temperature readings and how long it takes to heat and cool your home. Your XFINITY Home thermostat then communicates with our secure cloud server, and a series of algorithms uses this information to assess how to more efficiently run your heating, ventilation and cooling (HVAC) system, while keeping in mind your personal preferences to ensure your comfort. After learning and evaluating the temperature conditions in and around your home, EcoSaver automatically adjusts your thermostat settings slightly, throughout the day. These slight adjustments maximize your home's heating and cooling efficiency to help lower your energy bills. You can easily log into your XFINITY Home Subscriber Portal to view your HVAC performance or "run time" usage reports.
What is run time?
Run time is the number of hours your HVAC system operates before your home reaches the desired temperature. Longer or unnecessary run time can increase energy use and your energy bill. You can view all your energy savings and HVAC run time by the year, month, and day or as a cumulative value in the Subscriber Portal. Run time can vary due to many different factors, including outside temperature, other HVAC units in the home, open windows and changes in your schedule.
Where do I go to review my system's run time?
Once you've subscribed to EcoSaver, first go to your XFINITY Home Subscriber Portal then select EcoSaver Reports under the Thermostat tab or click on the View EcoSaver Reports link below your thermostat information.
When will usage reports be available?
HVAC run time at the hourly, daily and monthly levels are typically available on the subscriber portal within 24 hours. Inside temperature and high/low external temperatures should be available even sooner – often within a few hours.
How long does it take EcoSaver to learn about my HVAC usage?
It takes EcoSaver approximately 30 days to learn your home's heating and cooling patterns.
Could EcoSaver's learning period go beyond 30 days?
In conditions like mild weather or minimal HVAC use, observable activity may be too small to give EcoSaver enough data to manage your home efficiently. It may need additional learning time.
When can I start to see my energy savings?
Once EcoSaver's initial 30-day learning period ends, you can view your first energy savings report by clicking on the View EcoSaver Reports link in your XFINITY Home Subscriber Portal. After that, an estimate of your monthly energy savings resulting from EcoSaver is reported on the third of each month for the prior month.
Can I override the EcoSaver adjustments?
Yes. You can manually adjust the temperature any time through your XFINITY Home Thermostat, Subscriber Portal, TouchScreen or mobile app. You can also activate the Hold option with your desired settings to permanently override EcoSaver until the hold is turned off.
Note: Activating Hold will also prevent your XFINITY Home Thermostat schedule from making temperature changes until the hold is disabled.
Will overriding EcoSaver's actions affect my energy savings?
Yes. EcoSaver will learn from your manual overrides and make smaller adjustments to your thermostat that can result in less energy savings. Activating Hold will override EcoSaver altogether and prevent EcoSaver from generating energy savings until the hold is turned off.
Do I need to do anything to my XFINITY Home Thermostat before using EcoSaver?
To help EcoSaver learn how to manage your home, make sure you eliminate any possible system conflicts by deleting any existing schedule rules that tell your thermostat what time to turn on or off. Next, use the XFINITY Home Thermostat Scheduler on your Subscriber Portal to set up a schedule that matches your heating and cooling preferences. You can make changes to your schedule or manually change the temperature at any time. EcoSaver will learn from your adjustments.
Can I set a limit for my system – for example, can I set a maximum or minimum temperature?
No. The only limits are that of the thermostat itself. If you find that you're uncomfortable, simply adjust your thermostat at will. EcoSaver will learn your preferences and adapt.
A link to "Learn More About EcoSaver" will be sent via email.

Study shows New Orleans losing small business
New Orleans is tops again, on an undesirable list.
According to a study commissioned by Visa Inc. The Crescent City is losing more small businesses than any other metro area nationwide.
The research conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, ranks metro areas based on the number of business establishments lost since 2006.
New Orleans fared the worst, losing 5% of its smallest businesses – those with less than five employees.
The study shows results may reflect the exodus following Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Cleveland was close behind with a 4% drop.
The city reports a resurgence of entrepreneurial small business activity due to tax breaks and other incentives.
After more than one year running a Mexican food bar called the Riverside Grill, Vladimir Irula is throwing in the towel, "Business was definitely good in the beginning. And then after the oil we started seeing a drop in sales. We started cutting down on employees and pretty much reducing menu items."
But the Riverside Grill, you could say, is going out of business and going into business at the same time.
"You never know. Nothing beats a failure but a try," says the new Riverside Grill owner Leah Mann.
Mann is taking over the business, keeping the name and changing the menu, "It's more of a need for soul food," says Mann.
Mann says she'll rise above the Visa Inc. study which shows New Orleans tops nationwide losing small businesses, "It doesn't bother me because I'm a native from New Orleans. I feel with the business plan I have in place, things are going to be good."
Meantime Irula is already trying again, starting up a "pizza in a cone" business.
He says it's a new concept out of Italy.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

A long-time area landmark near Pampa now lays in ruins on the ground after being imploded Sunday evening.
The 300 ft. stack and a coal boiler at the former Celanese Plant site near Pampa came crumbling down about 5:30 p.m. Universal wrecking company out of New Jersey was contracted to perform the demolition. Hundreds gathered to see the exciting action Saturday and after a large boom, and even shaking of the ground, some residents who came out to spectator said not seeing that building standing there every day is going to take some getting used to.
"Everybody started honking their horns as soon as it all came down," said Pampa Resident Ricky Morgan. "Probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my lifetime. It's definitely weird not having it there. Just the instant it came down I was like man, that's something that's always been a part of Pampa and it's probably something that will always be a part of Pampa."
The implosion was arranged by the Pampa Economic Development Corporation as it paves the way for new development.
