Australia in brief
Visiting Australia
The beauty of Australia's natural landscapes, from pristine coastal areas to lush rainforests and red deserts, makes Australia a desirable travel destination. About six million visitors come to Australia each year attracted by beautiful beaches, unique fauna, friendly people and a relaxed atmosphere.
Tourism is an important industry, contributing more than $42 billion to the Australian economy in 2012–13. The tourism industry directly employs more than 500,000 people and, with 46 cents in every tourism dollar spent in regional areas, tourism is also of considerable importance to Australia's regional communities.
Australia has some 9,700 protected nature areas such as national parks, and can offer visitors a vast and diverse array of nature-based tourism opportunities. Indigenous culture is also a unique and growing attraction for the Australian tourism industry.
Food and wine tourism is expanding, in line with Australia's growing international reputation as a producer of high-quality wines and a supplier of fresh, regionally based food products.
Travelling in Australia
Australia is a big country. Sometimes international visitors underestimate distances and travel times between cities and to rural centres in Australia. Australia stretches about 4,000 kilometres (2,485 miles) across – about the same distance as New York to Los Angeles, London to Tehran, Bangkok to Tokyo, Singapore to New Delhi or Hong Kong to Mumbai.
Visa and immigration requirements
Australia welcomes millions of overseas visitors each year. Anyone who is not an Australian citizen needs a valid visa to enter and spend time in Australia. There are different visas for family and skilled migrants, tourists, business people, sports people, students and others. Many visas can be applied for online, and the Electronic Travel Authority can be applied for through travel agents and airlines. New Zealanders are granted an electronic visa on arrival in Australia.
Food, plant material and animal products from overseas, including many common souvenirs, could introduce some of the world's most serious pests and diseases into Australia. To avoid devastating our valuable agriculture and tourism industries, and our unique environment, such imports may need to be confiscated and destroyed.

There are many passionate responses from education leaders today to recommendations from a National Rifle Association- sponsored study that schools hire armed security officers and allow trained staff to carry weapons to prevent another Newtown tragedy by reducing response time. The recommendations were released at a press conference today.
Here is a statement from Marian Wright Edelman, president of the Children's Defense Fund:
"Why is the NRA afraid of the truth? The truth is there is no evidence that armed guards or police officers in schools make children safer. Columbine High School had an armed guard, and Virginia Tech had a full campus police force.
Today's report is nothing more than a continuation of the NRA's attempts to prey on America's fears, saturate our schools with more guns and turn them into armed fortresses. It must be soundly rejected.
It is long past time for us to protect child safety instead of guns. We must not allow the gun lobby to enrich gun manufacturers at the expense of our children's education and safety. "
Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federal of Teachers, said:
"Today's NRA proposal is a cruel hoax that will fail to keep our children and schools safe. It is simply designed to assist gun manufacturers flood the nation and our schools with more guns and large magazine clips, which will simply lead to more violence.
The NRA is trying to distract the American people from the real, serious gun problem we face in America Adam Lanza broke into Sandy Hook Elementary School and fired 155 bullets into innocent children and educators in less than five minutes. That America can't do something to prevent future mass shootings with this kind of weaponry and ammunition is unacceptable and outrageous. The NRA proposal will do nothing to stop another gunman with similar weapons and munitions from shattering the safe sanctuary of our schools.
"If we are serious about protecting our children and our communities, Congress must reject the NRA's dangerous posturing and follow the lead of the Connecticut Legislature in enacting bipartisan, commonsense gun safety legislation, including comprehensive background checks, and a ban on large magazine clips and military assault weapons. These reforms would strike at the heart of America's gun violence epidemic.Schools must be safe, nurturing learning environments for our students, which is why we are opposed to proposals to arm educators or turn our schools into armed fortresses. Safety personnel and safety plans have their place in schools, but we must leave those decisions to the people who know our schools best—not to those acting as a proxy for gun manufacturers. Ironically, the NRA proposes extensive background checks for the people they want to guard our schools, but opposes those same background checks for anyone else.
Here are the details from AJC.com:
Schools across the nation should train selected staff members to carry weapons and should each have at least one armed security officer to make students safer and allow a quicker response to an attack, the director of a National Rifle Association-sponsored study said Tuesday.
Republican former Rep. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas made the remarks as a task force he headed released its report, which included a 40- to 60-hour training program for school staff members who are qualified and can pass background checks.
"The presence of an armed security personnel in a school adds a layer of security and diminishes the response time that is beneficial to the overall security," said Hutchinson.
Asked if every school would be better off with an armed security officer, Hutchinson replied, "Yes," but acknowledged the decision would be made locally. "Obviously we believe that they make a difference," he said.
Hutchinson said the security could be provided by trained staff members or by school resource officers — police officers assigned to schools that some districts already have. The report was released a week before the Senate plans to begin debating gun control legislation.

Notice how the liberal media's campaign against the Second Amendment hasn't yielded anything? Even Democrat Senate Leader Harry Reid won't publicly back it. Meanwhile, Sandy Hook recedes farther and farther into history.

Anybody willing to argue that APS should get rid of its armed Resource Officers?
I didn't think so.
But hey, if we decide to to disarm school employees completely and let them take their chances, I'll be right behind you, Randi Weingarten. Literally right behind you.
April 2nd, 2013

Interesting point, who / what kills people?
<iWe are fond of saying Guns don't kill people, people do… But we could also say that Mentally unstable people who can't obtain assault rifles or even pistols are far less likely to commit mass murder.
It would be dishonest to leave out the part about governments kill people, too.
April 2nd, 2013

this is such a blatant attempt to sell more guns and not secure the safety of our nation's children!! if the American people believe and accept this INSANE solution, they need to have their heads and hearts examined!!!!!!
April 2nd, 2013
3:36 pm
@Maureen I know metro systems have an armed presence on campuses to varying degrees & in different forms. Any way to present a survey of what our schools currently have? After Sandy Hook it seems schools wanted to assure parents that they had "systems & plans" in place, but I suspect some wouldn't want it to be very public revealed exactly what that is. But we all seem to know what APS high schools have or say they have.
April 2nd, 2013
3:38 pm
@Maureen; Perhaps the opinionated piece you cite is accurate, perhaps not. The writer does include disclaimers, I notice. And is by no means against armed guards.
And by the way, virtually all Israeli males are soldiers in reserve units until their forties.
April 2nd, 2013
3:41 pm
@Maureen Your point on Israel is well-taken. It's always seemed to me that their different reality demands different approaches – as in air travel security – they don't look for bombs so much, they look for terrorists.
I was wondering on the moderation – but I understand. Looking not so much for inappropriate posts, but rather for abusing posters?
April 2nd, 2013
3:44 pm
It is not the gun but the gun owner. Have background checks on those who purchase guns. Also, enforce the rules that are already in place. But let's be realistic, nothing will be done because Washington is a joke. They can't get anthing right except promote entitlement!!!!
April 2nd, 2013
3:44 pm
I think we should do away with schools. Our kids are getting their education from television while munching on their super sized meals, so lets keep them safe at home. Then we will not have to hire security guards art added taxpayer expense and we can save ourselves even more money. No further tax expenses for schools, teachers, or any of that rubbish.
April 2nd, 2013
3:45 pm
I will never vote to allow school personnel to carry guns. We have security in cooperation with police and sheriff's departments. They do a great job. Our teachers and administrators are there to provide education.
April 2nd, 2013
3:45 pm
I'll bet you that there are male, and possibly, female teachers who are secretly packing a weapon in their purse or briefcase.
I don't pack any heat, but if I were armed, I would promise you that I would bring down a flaming lucifer-like lunatic to the ground with a few shots to the chest and head.
April 2nd, 2013
3:49 pm
That heat isn't instant – it was spring-loaded ever since the Columbine, Va Tech, and Newton slaughters. Not enough bodies yet for a logical defense when liberals can continue to scream for gun free zones.

American needs to change and get over their violent gun culture. Every country with strict enforced gun control laws have much lower violence and gun related deaths than the US has. Actually the US has one of the highest per capita gun related violence in the world. Within the US, a recent research has shown that states that have tougher gun laws like New York have much lower gun violence than states that do not like Arizona. Guns kill and the last person you need to be holding a gun is a teacher. That destroys the intellectual image of a teacher and sends the wrong message to the small children who is growing up.
April 2nd, 2013
3:52 pm
There are only 2 things wrong with this article, the style and the content. The very simple fact is that firearms are not responsible for violence. People are, and that is where the efforts need to be made.
April 2nd, 2013
3:54 pm
A shooter walks into a schoolroom with his automatic weapon at the ready. His FIRST target is the armed teacher. Then what? So you thjink arming teachers is the answer? Great for the gun industry. A myth as a solution to mass shootings in schools or anywhere alse for thatmatter.
April 2nd, 2013
3:55 pm
Well, there may not be any evidence that armed guards or police officers in schools make children safer; however, there is ample evidence that laws and regulations don't stop criminals.

A shooter armed with an automatic weapon at the ready. His FIRST target would be the armed teacher. Then what?
April 2nd, 2013

So our government needs to spend money that it doesn't have to protect itself from people who are calling for lower taxes. Who get the money? The people selling weapons to nuts who don't trust the government.

While you are occasionally moderating, please answer the following for us:
The AJC kept publishing Friday through Monday that the 35 could turn themselves in any time by Tuesday, and predicted a flood Monday morning to be bailed out after a 11AM Hearing. Only 3 attempted, and were turned away. The AJC later on Monday published that it was a paperwork snafu, but a spokeswoman for Fulton District Attorney Paul Howard said the defendants were to surrender "on Tuesday" and not before. Nothing more about the mix up from the AJC.
One of these versions is/was very wrong, and the vast majority of the 35 went with district attorney's office. Which version is correct?

An armed security guard stopped a shooter intent on committing mass murder in a huge Colorado Springs church a few years back. Surprise! Armed guards do work.
The legislation that has been attempted in congress such as an "assault weapon" ban would have no effect. A shooter could use several pistols with 10 round magazines to equal or more devastating effect (easier to hide). Without a gun, a crazy could crash a SUV into a classroom of kids or make a bomb (Oklahoma City where over 160 killed).
An armed guard could stop shooters armed with any weapon and also possibly stop a SUV driving maniac if in the right place at the right time.
Liberals just do not want to admit the NRA is on the money with the best suggestion so far. They would rather just attempt to ban guns in as many places as possible and create easy prey zones for criminals and crazies.
April 2nd, 2013
4:12 pm
I agree with everything you wrote about the photo from Israel,BUT…We have the right in the USA to keep and bear arms and they don't, so arguments to the contrary notwithstanding, we have a different reality here than they do there. And lack of individual gun ownership hasn't protected the innocent bystanders from being maimed and killed when a suicide bomber succeeds.
April 2nd, 2013

Many rich and powerful people send their kids to schools with armed guards including our president, if it is good enough for him it is good enough for me. Edelman-Wright brings up Columbine as an example of a school having a guard and suggests that guard did nothing to prevent tragedy. The fact is that guard engaged one of the killers in a gun battle, time that the killer could not use to kill any more kids. The shooter then killed himself. Can Edelman-Wright tell us that that the guard that risked his life did not save anyone ? If it were not for that exchange who is Wright to say the killer would not have killed anyone else in that time frame. Maybe the ammo spent trying to kill the Columbine guard would have been used on another student. One thing is for sure, if a threat occurs in our schools, the people called to the scene to help are armed, why ? If armed guards are bad why would you then call in armed guards in a time of need ?
April 2nd, 2013
4:21 pm
Back on topic is US school safety. The writer of the article does not want to focus on school safety: just bash the NRA. Perhaps the writer should actually read the report about Columbine before making the statement of an armed guard there. The guard was not in the building but away from campus, drove back to campus and as such was protocol at the time, did not enter the building.
Maureen was the guard inside Columbine HS or outside when the shooting started? How long was it until the police entered the building?
Texas has had "guardians" (armed teachers) in some of their schools since 2007. The reason they are there is the time required for the police to get to certain schools (sometimes almost an hour). Local communities with elected school boards can decide for themselves what policy will work for them. If the school district decides police can arrive in an acceptable time then so be it. To attempt to turn school safety into a gun control debate is wrong.
If you want to debate gun violence then lets talk about that and not link it to school safety.

A little puzzle with gun-based entertainment media. I don't know what to make of it. I consume a lot of action movies from Hong Kong and India (both have huge film industries). They have lots and lots of excessive gun-based action movies, but it usually some poetic twist, Robin Hood mode, or the good guys done wrong must put down the mafia. Meanwhile, both of these countries, cities, etc. are not suffering the political and media initiatives being recently applied in the U. S. Meanwhile, in the U. S. in the last decade or 15 years, there has been much gun culture in movies and tv (things I would not approve for prime time), but it is often police or government-based gun use in the shows. I can't make any sense of it, except that it seems like we have a lot of constructed-reality occurring in the U. S. political / media. And now, this sort of hype is being bandied about as policy initiatives, filling the space of media where, instead? we might be discussing food quality (a serious contemporary issue) or the nuts and bolts of education, or the peculiar high prices of U. S. medical procedures, or maybe the speed and distribution of internet and how to use it – real things that affect quality of life.

My kids high school and middle school in Alpharetta already have an armed security guard at the schools and they like them. The cops/guards talk to the kids and they love it. What's the big deal?
April 2nd, 2013

Just out of curiosity, why is it that every time the second ammendment is referenced, you always hear the part about the right to bear arms, but seldom is a word spoken about the other part… You know, the "well regulated" part?

""Why is the NRA afraid of the truth? The truth is there is no evidence that armed guards or police officers in schools make children safer"
Is Marian Wright Edleman interested in evidence? Her organization favors a ban on "assault weapons" and limiting magazines to 10 rounds. Does she have evidence that these measures work?
Does she know what an "assault weapon"is? Could she define the term? Could she distinguish an assault weapon from a hunting rifle that is not an "assault weapon"?
Does she know how easy it would be for a killer to carry five or six magazines carrying only ten rounds each? Does she know how long it would take this killer to change magazines and continue shooting? Does she think she herself could rush him and disarm him as he removed one magazine and inserts another? Does she know how many large capacity magazines already exist? Does she know how easy they are to make?
Evidence? Marian Wight Edelman has no interest in evidence.

I consider myself to be on the liberal side of the political spectrum, but I have no problem with guns or responsible gun ownership. That being said, we need to realize that, when it comes to the NRA's leadership, we're not dealing with a full deck. People like Wayne LaPierre keep trying to convince people that Obama is coming to take away their guns, and nothing could be further from the truth.
Bob, I seriously doubt that you or your children face the same type of threats as the President, so please stop with that line of "if he can send his kids to school with armed guards, then so can I."

Now that is reality from Clutch,take notes people.You could ban all guns,and you will still have criminals with guns,knives,and many other weapons.This is not Europe, guns have been in our culture for many moons,they are embedded in our society. First response from NRA was to protect our children,obama's first response was to ban guns,not once did he suggest secure our schools.Nra will not give in because they know where the aministration is headed.No matter how much people has deamonized the NRA and lawful gun owners,they never gave up on our kids,as they continue to fight for the constitution,as they always have,and for the last 20 years,the Govt,has been trying to ban weapons.Think about it,If they really believed that we would be safer,why ban the guns and mags,and let us keep them?but register?We all know where we are headed to socialism, and they cannot achieve this with the bill of rights in place,FACT.There is obviously a lot that some of you do not know about,Put aside your wants,and use logic,crime will get worse, police will be too busy on other calls as they are in Chicago, the more gun control they have, the worst it gets, or have you not noticed. The once lawful gun owner can not fight back. Been there,i have seen it.Good luck with your agenda.

As for why we need guards in schools, the criminal individuals will always be active, If you think you have better odds on saving our loved ones without a weapon, go for it.It is not a guarantee for total success with a gun, but your odds are better.

Think of it this way: there's 1 cop for about every 400 people in the US, and since most schools are at least that size shouldnt they be appropriated a cop/security? You've got a huge group of citizens captive and contained 8 hours a day, so it should really even be easier for the police than if they tried to serve that many citizens throughout their jurisdiction

Who is going to pay for all these new guns, gun training, hired guards and additional liability insurance for every school in US – the cost has to be staggering?? I thought we were under a severe budget crisis?? Are we looking at more tax increases?? Or does the NRA propose to cover all these costs?? I suspect this NRA Study did not assess the short and long term costs. Perhaps this is a chance for the NRA to put their money where their mouth is…

@Mikey D. – there are 2 parts to the 2nd Amendment, whereas "well regulated" refers to the state militia. You know, "a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state". Then there is the second part – "the right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." In the Constitution, it is the only Amendment that contains the wording "shall not be infringed". So, still wanna discuss the 2nd Amendment Mikey?

William Casey
So you think she is right? You think that there is evidence that the kinds of gun control she and her organization favor work?
Incidentally, I do not favor any proposal to arm people in all schools. Guards or teachers or whatever.
I do favor eliminating any rules that prevent teachers, coaches, staff from having legal weapons at school. But this should be a local decision. If Chicago wants to tell teachers they must leave their guns at home, that is fine with me.
As for armed guards, that too is should be a local decision. If the Atlanta school board believes armed guards are needed in some schools or all, board members can vote to do it and local taxpayers can pay for it. If the Union County school officials think that no guards are needed, that is their choice.
April 2nd, 2013
6:15 pm
This is what we're reduced to, armed kindergartens, middle schools, high schools, churches? Give me a freaking break. This is stupid. It's outrageous that a so-called civilized society is so damn violent, so damned agressive, that we need armed guards to protect children. It's BS. The goddamned 2nd Ammendment does not grant the right to terrorize the country. Gun ownership should be strictly regulated and that can be accomplished without affecting anyone's rights in the slightest. No matter what your argument is for preserving your rights, it doesn't trump my right to live in a world free of gun violence.
April 2nd, 2013
6:30 pm
I have no problem with armed police officers on school grounds. I was glad to have three full time officers at the high school where I used to teach. But staff members do not need to be armed. Principals, teachers, etc. are there to educate. That's what their job description entails and that's what they're trained to do. They are not trained in the use of force, nor should the use of firearms be part of their job description. Educators should educate. Officers should keep the peace.
April 2nd, 2013

Maureen you are so right! I sold guns of all types for over 10 years and the only time that our sales shoot through the roof no pun intended was when a democratic president is elected. The NRA membership spread the rumor that the democrats are going to ban all guns.The mere talk of banning assault weapons increased sales to record numbers. AR15 are designed to hunt people not deer and the people who buy such weapons know this. I remember when the Street Sweeper was banned it didn't cause much of a commotion because those weapons where used mainly by gang members and the NRA keep silent while those weapons where banned. The assault rifle in the preferred weapon of white gangs. The gun industry use the 2nd amendment to keep their sales up.

Paul Georgy serves as president/CEO of Allendale, Inc., a worldwide agricultural advisory and research firm that provides agricultural commodity price research and risk management alternatives for producers, major food companies, international corporations, foreign governments, and major news vendors.
Good Morning! Paul Georgy with early morning comments for November 5, 2013 at 4:45 am. Grain futures are quiet and slightly higher on short covering.
With the USDA Report on Friday, the trade is looking for some fundamental news to key on between now and then. The rainfall in South America has relieved their drought conditions and planting progress is near normal.
Did you miss our October Ag Leader Webinar where we spoke to Geoff Cooper of the Renewable Fuels Association? Watch the recording here.
Harvest progress in MN and IA worked at a record pace to gather their crops last week, says USDA. Overall 73% of US corn is harvested versus 71% normal. Soybean harvest is 86% complete versus 85% average. The winter wheat crop is off to a great start with 63% Good/Excellent which 2% better than last week. Last year's wheat conditions were rated at 39% Good/Excellent.
Traders are watching spreads as index funds roll out of the December futures contract. Deutsche Bank is buying December '14 contracts and selling December '13 contracts in corn, meal and soyoil for the next few days. On Thursday, the Goldman roll begins which is the time when they buy March and sell December '13. Index funds are doing some rebalancing and traders believe they could be buying a sizable amount of corn contracts.
Corn traders are looking for an increase in yield, a reduction of nearly a million harvested acres and still come up with ending stocks of over 2 billion bushels on Friday's report. Traders are finding it difficult to expect any bullish news for corn out of this report. This is usually a sign to be cautious.
Soybean production, acreage and probably demand adjustments could make for a very interesting report results. Contact your Allendale representative for some trading ideas.
Hog producers are holding back sows as evidenced by sow slaughter running at 7% below year ago levels. The effects of PED could have a big impact on Dec and 1st quarter slaughter. Pork cutout values were up .87 on Monday.
Cattle carcass weights have declined since feedlots have stopped using Zilmax. Beef production for Dec through March still suggests very tight supplies. Beef cutout values are higher with choice up .96 and select up .29. The CME Feeder Index is 164.52 down .59.

The Suzuki B-King was introduced a few years ago on a market apparently eager for a naked version of the notorious Hayabusa, but the sales charts have disappointed Suzuki and the project represents too much of an investment for them to simply discontinue it, so the solution is to make it more attractive for potential buyers. That goal appears to be accomplished on the 2010 model year, which gets a nice blue/white color scheme and 1970s style gold rims.
This is the only bit of information about the 1300cc Japanese naked, but the bike appears to be unchanged apart from that. Sure, you all could have lived with shorter silencers, but Suzuki is keen on the rocket-launcher ones, so that's what you'll keep on getting.
It is not yet confirmed if the flashy color scheme will be available for bikes shipped over to the US and the price will be announced.

HANCEVILLE — With under three minutes left in the Northwest Regional Class 3A girls semifinal, Paul Wilson pulled his Danville players to the sideline.
Centered in the middle of the girls basketball players, he put his hands together and urged them to keep going, the echoes of his voice carrying across the floor.
As seconds ticked away, there were no surprises, no upsets, no shake ups, as the Hawks finished their season with the 46-26 loss to Madison Academy. With the win, the Mustangs advance to play Lauderdale County at 3:40 p.m. Saturday.
For Danville (26-9), the team young and small, it will be filed as a learning experience. With a starting lineup that includes an eighth-grader and no seniors, all of the Hawk players stepped onto the court at Tom Drake Coliseum as newcomers to the regional tournament.
"If I could liken it to something, it was kind of like studying real hard for Bible drills and you walked in and saw that Jesus was your opponent," Hawks coach Paul Wilson said.
Magnificent or not, Madison Academy (26-8) had the size advantage and used man-to-man pressure to keep Danville scoreless through 12 minutes of play, opening on an 18-0 scoring run. Shots bounced off, rolled around and missed the mark completely as the Hawks totaled an 18.9 shooting percentage for the game.
"It was really hard, shooting so many times and it not going it," said Sydni Shelton, the team's 6-foot forward, the only player with size.
Jesse Oliver scored the first basket for Danville.
"I had almost every shot blocked, and then that one went in,"
Oliver said, relieved that she finally scored.
Sierra Jones led the Mustangs with 14 points, while Libba Gillam scored 10 and Lauren Hargett added eight. Gracie George, who regularly advances the Hawks from the 3-point mark, was limited to two shots from outside the circle.
Shelton led Danville with nine points and six rebounds. Tara Tuck, the speedy point guard, added five points.
Charlee Anderson left the game at halftime with what appeared to be a dislocated knee. Three and a half minutes into the third quarter, Tabetha Hutto went down near the baseline — in the same spot where R. A. Hubbard's Tony Harris went down Wednesday night — with a knee injury. Anderson contributed one rebound in the game, while Hutto grabbed three.
Despite the loss, Wilson said the team is encouraged in its first regional appearance since 2011, when the Hawks won the regional title.
"We've got bright days ahead," he said. "They're not going to quit and they're going to work."

Equinox Sunrise near Sydney
Dear Hearts
Equinox was just after midnight here in Sydney so I went for my traditional Sunrise celebration to the cost site near Sydney. Share with you my picture taken today first Sunrise after Equinox as the Sun is on a journey South.
'Here comes the Sun' from Beatles was my song for this Sunrise.

I had nice meditation with my crystals on the beach after Sunrise.
I got messages from guides who said that we will hear soon about the discovery of subteranian tunels in South America that were discovered in April but information was not released. My guide said that this tunels lead to a portal of interdimensional travel connecting Earth with Alpha Centuri.
I was also told that within 24 hours there will be 3 earth quakes near South America ,Africa and in south Atlantic Ocean than a big volcano will also erupt from under the ocean.
Ok I write this messages as I heard them, now it will be interesting to see if any will come true or if it was just my imagination.
Today I also visited a Hindu Monastery and it was a day of great celebrations a Genesha Festival so I took part of praying with them.
Had a great day and released my past and open for new like Genesha will be reborn again.Love and Light Basia

Socialism isn't coming; it's here
While mortally grave but at the same time sidesplittingly hilarious, the "Marxist in Chief," Barack Obama, daily attacks the free enterprise system for America's ills.
For you uninformed out there, the left with the help of the feckless Republicans, destroyed capitalism and liberty decades ago and replaced it with an unconstitutional and destructive central government.
Well if it walks like socialism, and quacks like socialism, it's socialism. God save us all from what's coming.
Frank Santolla, North Lima
Parents get a break at the mall
I don't live in Ohio; I live in Vir- ginia. The Cafaro Co. owns a retail mall near my home, Spotsylvania Town Centre.
Recently, Cafaro decided not to renew a contract with a service in our mall, Wiggle Worms. Wiggle Worms is a drop off entertainment center for children ages 12 months to 10 years old. Without Wiggle Worms, many local mommies and daddies would not be able to shop, grab dinner, or have a quiet date night with their significant other. They provide a much-needed service to the community.
After their closing was announced, hundreds of mommies and daddies raised concerns with Cafaro, who then decided to renew Wiggle Worms' contract and give them an even better space in the mall.
The management at Cafaro heard our pleas, and for that we are truly grateful. Other companies probably would have ignored us.
Jennifer Homendy, Fredericksburg, Va.
""Wiggle Worms is a drop off entertainment center for children ages 12 months to 10 years old.""
All Jennifer needs to do is hire a babysitter.
Hey Frank - go cash your Social Security check...and don't forget your next doctor's appointment, which, of course, will be covered by Medicare. Apparently, the willing ignorance of the Tea Party is only overshadowed by its own shameless hypocrisy.
Socialism!!! "God save us all from what's coming." God, I have a much easier and far better request; save us all from loons like Frank Santolla. Hey Frankie, if Obama was a Marxist, like Stalin, you sure would have heard a knock on the door by now and, if you were lucky, you'd be sent to spend the rest of your life a mile down working in a uranium mine in Nevada. And for sure you wouldn't be able to write the conspiracy-theorist tripe that you and the rest of the extremist right-wing spout daily. No, you and your colleagues who use more Social Security and Medicare benefits than you ever paid into it are the real keepers of "socialism". The best thing for you Frankie-baby is to go into your bunker, do an inventory of your MRE's and stay out of that North Lima sun. Yo' po' haid can't take much more!
Frank is absolutely wrong. We've somehow decided in America that we can't just disagree about policy any more; we have to demonize the people we disagree with. We have to label them and call them names. Most importantly, we have to insinuate that these people we disagree with aren't even real Americans in the way we understand the term, *wink wink*.
It's distrubing to watch so many people play this stupid game when we have real problems that aren't being solved because no one wants to look weak.
no one read it after that first idiotic rambling you call a post juggie, your not worth reading because its all ficitious gibberish
@ jojuggie
You make fun of those who watch MSNBC and CNN in one post and then quote O'Reilly of Faux News in another. You do realize that you're getting just as biased news ( if not more biased) watching Fox as those channels you mock? Then again, I doubt you do realize it.

APOSTLE ISLANDS, WI (WTAQ) - One of Wisconsin's Apostle Islands is now closed altogether, as a hungry bear continues to make trouble.
National Park officials closed Sand Island to overnight camping on Monday, after reports that a bear entered campsites and ate people's food.
On Wednesday, officials said a bear entered a beachside boat in search of food – so Sand Island is now closed to daytime visitors as well.
Superintendent Bob Krumenaker of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore says the island will stay closed indefinitely, and the situation will frequently be re-evaluated.
Sand Island is among 22 islands in the Apostles' chain.

Man accused of using company credit cardAugust 05,2014Man denies misuse
of company card
BENNINGTON A Brandon man is facing criminal charges after his former employer accused him of using a company credit card to buy items for himself.
Troy M. Hale, 19, of Brandon, pleaded innocent on Monday in Bennington criminal court to a misdemeanor charge of using false pretenses to obtain items worth less than $900.
Hale was originally scheduled to answer to the charges in March, but at the time, the state referred the case to the court diversion program. If Hale had successfully completed the program, the charge would have been expunged from his record.
Although no reason was given, court records show that Hales failure to complete diversion was reported on July 2.
In an affidavit, Trooper Lauren Ronan, of Vermont State Police, said the owner of Waterworks, a treatment plant and service company in Sunderland, reported Oct. 16 that Hale had misused a company credit card.
Ronan said that after some investigation, she identified the card was used three times between Sept. 10 and Oct. 1, for purchases that seemed to be outside the allowable uses set by the company. The total amount for those three charges was about $90.
Ronan said the card was used at a convenience store and a fast-food restaurant.
Hale was released without bail on Monday but was ordered not to have contact with Waterworks employees.MORE IN This Just InBy Josh O'Gorman Full StoryBy Gordon Dritschilo Full StoryCASTLETON - Police have released a picture of a man who robbed a convenience store Monday night. Full Story

Bad Poetry Day is August 18th, and apparently, a good contender for worst poet ever is Scotsman William McGonagall. Around 1877, when he was about 50 years old (it's hard to say for sure, because his exact birthdate is unknown), he believed God spoke to him and told him to write; and that's what he did for the rest of his life, which amounted to about 25 more years. McGonagall seemed oblivious to all criticisms of his work and retained an amazing level of self-confidence in his abilities as a writer.

A little about me...
Most people who meet me say I am always happy and have a wonderful smile. I have been blessed with good genes, a warm and caring heart, an intelligent mind and a solid moral compass.
I love to laugh... I laugh at commercials with talking animals, re-runs of "Everyone loves Raymond" and... I can also laugh at the sometimes silly, ditzy "blond" things I may do or say.
My children are now young adults and I love them dearly. They bring me much joy and pride. My family and friends are an important part of my happy and content life.
I believe that honesty, friendship, respect , and a bit of chemistry, are all essential for a strong and solid relationship. I am a kind, warm, loyal, supportive and dependable person...someone who will always be in your corner, no matter what.
I enjoy gardening, walking or hiking, traveling to new places, fine dining with wine and good conversation, going to plays, musicals and movies, but I also enjoy quiet time at home, just watching a good movie, reading or listening to music. I also love to watch football and baseball. I am a New England and Red Soxs fan.
At this stage, I am looking to meet someone who enjoys the same activities as myself. Time will determine if there is a connection :)

I'd just like to add...

Clowe told reporters following the morning skate Friday that the surge of physical play "starts right from the beginning" of a playoff game, and the Rangers need to be prepared to bring that tonight when the Caps most likely will come flying out of the gates on home ice in this 2-2 deadlocked series.

Rat run drivers ignoring ring road left turns ban (From thisisoxfordshire)

Rat run drivers ignoring ring road left turns ban
6:00am Thursday 9th January 2014 in News By Andrew Ffrench, Reporter covering Didcot and Wallingford. Call me on 01865 425425
A BAN on traffic taking a rat run from Oxford's ring road through the Cutteslowe estate in North Oxford is not being properly enforced, according to a leading city and county councillor.
Councillor Jean Fooks, who is Liberal Democrat city councillor for Summertown, and county councillor for Wolvercote and Summertown, said residents have raised concerns about the number of vehicles ignoring the left turn ban from the A40 Elsfield Way into Jackson Road.
Mrs Fooks flagged up the problem with police and was told that when they fined drivers the fines were returned because the traffic regulation order introducing the ban was not properly in place.
Mrs Fooks said: "Drivers have been ignoring the ban on and off since it was introduced.
"When residents raised the matter with me I mentioned it to police but was told they have had to return fines because the ban could not be legally upheld.
"As a result I have raised this with county council officers and I'm waiting to hear back from them.
"Drivers with local knowledge are turning left into the estate to avoid the queue for the Cutteslowe roundabout and get through to Banbury Road."
Allie Noel, manager of Cutteslowe Community Centre in Wren Road, who lives in Harefields, North Oxford, said: "Residents in Cutteslowe are very concerned about this.
"It's quite dangerous to make a left turn off the A40 into Jackson Road now because of the road layout. It's supposed to be a 20mph speed limit on the estate but the drivers taking a rat run don't stick to that.
"Parents who take their children to school in the area will not be pleased to hear that there is a problem with the ban on left turns."
The ban was first introduced by the county council in 2005 as a safety measure to cut out rat running by drivers heading west from the Headington direction.
The restriction was first brought in on a temporary basis as an experimental traffic order.
County council spokesman Marcus Mabberley said: "This traffic regulation order was made permanent in 2007. It is legal and enforceable. We were made aware by the police earlier this month about the difficulties they faced regarding fixed penalty notices issued at this location."
Inspector Andy Thompson, of Thames Valley Police, said: "If there is a problem with the left turn ban we will work with the council on behalf of residents to rectify the matter."

I doubt that. I suspect you'll do a single high profile operation that will last for a few hours, after which everything will return to normal until you do it again. That will keep happening and the issue will never be resolved.

A no left turn, then a 20mph sign; the signage is out of date then.

As drivers approach in the morning from Water Eaton to Summertown they cross the roundabout but end up blocking it because there's a million bus stops and traffic lights stopping their progress in to town. This then causes everyone coming west from headington up the A40 to sit in traffic (as I did for 45 minutes this morning from the marston slip up to Cutteslowe) people fed up with the congestion either then take the Marston ferry road or they take this cut through.
Why not try:
Traffic controlled lights that are video monitored and only operational at peak hours eg 7:30 - 9:30am. So when it blocks in to summertown they go red to allow A40 drivers to progress. if it isn't blocking then run them on a timed loop.
more radically levy huge congestion charges on all of oxford for any non-resident, or person without specific need to enter in a motor vehicle. Make exemptions for hospital visitors. Encourage the park and rides, build a couple more and increase parking at each site.
Try what they've done in Bath - fine single occupancy cars and provide benefits to car-sharers.
There's so many pinch points in Oxford where the solution is simple - take St Clems/south park left turn up marston road. It's on red when straight ahead up headington hill is green. Why would that left turn present a danger?? nothing is coming from any other direction. All it does is cause jams up to the plain roundabout in the morning.
The plain roundabout - people cross wherever they want. How about railings to prevent that and putting a proper crossing on each approach road.
I think the council is just staffed by idiots on their own agenda's and they'll never agree anything as that means everything will be perfect and they'll do themselves out of their petty nit-picking roles!

Seems to me the issues are simply about speed, in which case speed bumps should sort that out, and a standard indignation from 'concerned residents' that people aren't following the rules; I might be bold and say the story did not originate from the young lady pictures with pram, rather one of the other picturees.
