One of the local clubs trains in a HUGE warehouse in the winter. I have worked with them a few times. They have a great set-up.
Here are some photo's to help get an idea of their set-up.
They use the stuff you would lay a track down and then some heavy duty grass carpet down. It actually is a pretty nice set-up.
I have a video that shows the whole area better:
I really liked training there. Our club is looking for a place similar close to our field. Some dogs don't do well with the noise/acoustics but other's thrive on hearing their own voice.
|i have also trained in a warehouse. the flooring reminded me of the wrestling mats we used in high school, only larger. this also had ac in the summer and heat in the winter. imho, if you are starting a training school, the average pet owner with a poodle or other companion dogs as well as the larger mountain dogs, would most likely find a school with ac. if you are starting a working dog shutzhund type training club, you could do with out the ac. having said that , i would think you would need some really heavy duty and large fans if you plan on training in the hot months of georgia.
We do when the k9 unit invites us out to work with them. We use warehouses, abandoned water plant and other buildings, and even an old navy ship. Pretty neat places to train!
Most of the time, all power is turned off..... so it's hot and other then window light... it can be dark. The warehouses have too much light, and can get a bit rough. But, not everyone goes in there all at once... you work your dog and then put them in their crates outside with a good amount of water. So it's not so bad.
Most of the places I've been to with my training group has had some strange footing. We've had them on very slippery footing, some that were metal and you could see through the bars, and the one I wasn't able to go to (thanks to work) also had some wetlands. The warehouses are always really slippery here. We are very careful to make sure the dogs don't get hurt, otherwise, it's a great learning experience.
Luckily, the cooler weather is coming now, so getting overheated is one thing we don't have to worry to much about.
Edit- To keep the warehouses cool, the Police here use large fans and open the bay door. And when we want better footing for working the dogs seriously, we use rubber mats (like what you use in horse stalls and barns). We've never had AC in any of them. The dogs stay in kennels outdoors with water, and during the summer, most use cooling pads. It's much cooler outdoors then indoors at that point. It's a huge benefit to use the warehouses, especially when it's storming outside... which is most of the year here.
Sorry for the late response.
Gayle and Lies, Thank you for the input! I think we have decided to forego the a/c (unless the leasing company just wants to do that for us).
My biggest concern is will the average Joe come out and train if it is hot.
We are looking at some ceiling mounted fans right now.
Any comments on footing?
|I trained in a large, old, metal quonset hut that had been converted into a chicken coop ... does this count? Before they moved to the Prince Frederick Fairgounds, the Chesapeake Kennel Club of Maryland used to hold their training classes in a chicken coop ... no heat in the winter, no a/c in the summer, sand on the floor that had to be watered down every day, bare light bulbs above, and lots of little creatures scurrying around to grab a dogs attention on long sits and downs. In the Winter we wore heavy coats and long undies, Spring and Fall were delightful, and Summer classes were suspended until sometime in September. Our instructor raised sheep so she held summer classes at her house in one of the pastures (lots of good distractions for herding breeds). Fortunately the instructor was excellent, the best I've ever had and was well worth the inconvenience ... it prepared us well for showing in unsavory conditions including lots of different distractions for both indoor and outdoor matches and shows, unexpected sights and odors, and bad weather conditions .
|We train flyball at a local dog place that is basically a warehouse. It does get BEASTLY hot in the summer. We open the loading bay doors (two facing south and one facing west) and then on the north facing wall there is this huge fan thing that we're allowed to turn on. You don't really feel a breeze but it does move air (have to open at least one of the bay doors or the motor will fry). It's also really loud but we're doing flyball so noise is a given!
Training in a warehouse, need some input
Does anyone here attend training that is located in a warehouse?
We are looking to lease a building that is about 2200 sq ft of warehouse space. It does have insulation and is not a stand-alone building. The front portion is climate controlled. It does have a heater.
However, I am really concerned about the heat in the summertime.
If you train in a warehouse......
what is the setup like?
where is it located?
What is used to cool the place?

thanks yall! sorry it took so long to get the pics
Congrats akfiend, that looks super sweet! I need to get a ppsh kit ordered before they're gone.
thanks moleman! if you do you might wanna consider building one with the 9mm conversion since all the surplus 7.62x25 has dissapeared lately!
How hard is it to remove the barrel? If I understand it correctly it is held in by a flange at the chamber end and a rivet/pin through the trunion. Is the pin accessable? If so I may do both as I cast and reload 9mm as it is.
Hello moleman,
The PPSH-41 barrel is retained by the 12mm pivot pin which is an easilly removeable takedown as well as the barel lip. There were several styles of pivot pins used. Some were like the 2-piece MAC take-down pins, Some were like pop pins. Some were fixed by a small set-screw from the bottom of the trunion.
9mm ammo feeds well from the PPSH-41 box or drum mags. Just set the round to the rear of the feed device for best results. Schillstrom quad mags and Sten mags can be adapted for the 9x19mm ammo for te PPSH-41.
In WW-II the Nazis captured about one million PPSH-41's from the commies. The Nazis made a mag well adapter to employ their Schmeiser MP mags and rebarreled the burpguns to 9x19mm Parabellum ammo. Those conversion kits are HIGHLY collectable today.
It would seem that the Suomi and PPS-43 drums could be adapted for the 9x19mm conversion.
PS: akfiend, that is a cute carbine you built !!!!! Congrats !!!!
What VD said, look at the pic again, that large pin in front of the mag is the pivot pin he's talking about. After that's out the barrel comes out toward the rear.Quote:
How hard is it to remove the barrel?
That's great, thanks for the info. I really like the wood stocked subguns like the ppsh41 and kp31.
Thanks for the post, great work

any more progress on this build?
I just bent my flat this afternoon, super easy! 3/4" rod drilled and bolted to a piece of plywood. I used a couple of 1/4" steel scrap as a pry bar, about 20 min of work including some tweeking befor eI spot welded it.
Does your bolt carrier and cocking tube fit in the receiver?Quote:

seems like the thread stalled so here are 2 pictures of what your trigger parts should look like before reassembly
Cocking tube and trunnion welded in
remember the headspacing is done with feeler guages so the gap between bolt head and bolt head carrier are between.004-.020
if you use a cast receiver you will need to polish the inside of the cocking tube and the trunion hole for them to fit
I chose grip, stock, mags, receiver(CIA cast, roll your own wasn't available yet) and removed the barrel threads and crowned to come in under the parts count because at the time it was all I could get.
when all was said and done this is what I got
This is thanks to Diablo and rusty pirate from the now defunct cetmerifles.com for all of their help.
have not seen any cetme kit around sure would like get one myself I missed out years ago when they where lots of them around anyone seen any or have any extra for sale
Could some one please tell me where the best place to get Cetme flats is and also what is the best procedure to bend them correctly......where is the best places to get Cetme Parts???? Thank you....
You can get flats at Ohio Rapid Fire,same flat as HK91, Apex gun parts has cetme parts, and robertg.com has some cetme parts and info about cetme and HK compatability.
Hey, Thanks For The Info......Just Great.....Have A Safe New Years.....

Dont buy a converter until you know what cam youre running
Thumpr cams are not a good choice
A-body cutlass will fit 28" tire with out cutting, 29 1/2 will require triming of wheelwell lips at front and back
Pump gas?
The fuel you want to run will determine the sort of compression you can run which will determine the cam you can run.
I only recommend rollers for BBC, and I would go with a solid lifter if it were up to me.

"Was so happy to learn I could customize the invitation to my color, even though it only showed three colors on the website. Customer service was very helpful and knowledgeable. Followed my directions and loved the final product. Thank you!"
"I am flabbergasted by how beautiful my daughters invitation turned out!! I chose with the pearl shimmer and it just makes the photos so exquisite. We have received many many compliments by friends and family on the quality of the invitation, this is for sure an invitation people will keep and not throw out. I am EXTREMELY satisfied to say the least."
"I was very impressed and pleased with our daughter Birthday card invitation, It was very easy to personalize,The designer work with me all the time, He was very professional and He was asking me for every little detail. We can get the color the we want. When we received the box by mail we cant wait to opened it. The most beautiful invitation ever see !! Colors, size, quality and presentation its exceeded my expectation. Thanks so much!! ""
"I created a sweet 16 invitation using this card as my template. The designers at Tiny Prints worked with me to remove the original text for a quincerra and even took off some extra scrolls and curly qs because my daughter is more of an outdoorsy girl. It turned out so beautiful and we will treasure it for years to come in her scrapbook of the birthday. Thank you Tiny Prints!"

Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
Take the 4k and run!!!!
There is no way to know the actual value of a boat this old. And a boat with a mixed bag of improvements and work needed to be done. Granted the boat gave you and your family a lot of good times but to a objective buyer it is what it is. And what it is, is an old boat.
IMO, you are getting in over your head offering financing. Even at full price, 8k ain't a ton of dough. If someone can't come up with that amount they aren't the kind of people you want to be trusting to make payments. Boating on a shoestring budget usually doesn't work out. That, and what are you going to do if they stop paying you? Sue them long distance? How much time and money is that going to take? And if you do sue them how are you going to defend yourself against claims that you defrauded them by misrepresenting the condition of the boat? Of course it's BS!!! It just gets so deep that even hip waders aren't enought to deal with the mire you are setting yourself up for.
I'd take the 4k and consider the rest of whatever you have into the boat as an investment in family entertainment. IOW, money well spent. Then move on.
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity

If you need a tax deduction, fine. Of course, the IRS is going to want you to be able to clearly explain how you determined the boats value. I can guarantee you that "I think $8K is a good value" is absolutely NOT going to satisfy them.
If you don't really need the tax deduction, then you would probably be money ahead to accept the fact that the boat is not worth as much as you think, and negotiate a deal with one of those "lowball" buyers.
Good luck, whatever you do.
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
Your boat, your decision.
I think $4-6K is a fair number so you shouldn't be insulted. Sell the Honda for real money and throw the boat up there for $4K without engine.
Just my $.02
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
Well, if you really want to donate your boat, why not contact a local disabled sailing association, such as Footloos Disabled Sailing Association, in Seattle?
If, otoh, you're just wanting to donate it bc you're pissed off at people who do not see the "intrinsic value"? Um, yeah, sure. Cut off your nose to spite your face. That's the ticket. Sure it is.
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
Donating to the Sea Scouts would be really nice if they intend to add it to their fleet and not sell it. It would get great use. I see the local Sea Scouts go out constantly here.
There is absolutely no way you come out financially ahead by donating the boat. You sure aren't hurting the prospective buyers, there's plenty of boats out there.
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
I have gotten 2 boats form Charity, take the cash pay for your classes,

Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
Thanks - I'm actually taking the CPA exam in two weeks so this may come in handy. Individual taxation is heavily tested.
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
At least a decade ago, the IRS plugged the loopholes of charity vehicle deductions. If you donate a car or boat to a charity today, and they keep it and use it for two years (as Sea Scouts might) then you get the "book" value of the vehicle.
If the charity puts it up for auction and sells it, as most will, you get a receipt showing what they actually sold it for, and that may be peanuts.
Selling the boat to a lowballer and giving the money to a charity might actually work out better, if you're looking to endow a charity. Heck, you could always put in on Craigslist and watch all the money orders from Nigeria come in. (G)
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
Let's see.....
$4000 cash in my pocket vs. maybe a $2000 tax deduction which might net me $400-700 at tax time....
Hmmm....sounds like a no brainer to me.
Even if you were somehow able to swing a $8000 tax deduction (which ain't going to happen) you're still only going to net $2000-3000 at tax time. Now, if you're well off and can afford to donate and help out the Sea Scouts, go for it.
|SV Glossa
Re: Donating my Cal 29 to Charity
If I got nothing for this boat, buying it was still one of the best purchases we've ever made and the memories and the experiences that we've had on her far outweigh what we paid. I'm not really concerned about the tax benefit.
Now what are you considering low ball? You say it is worth at least 8,000 but that is what you are asking. If someone is asking 8, I would likely start negotiations at 5 or so
I don't know if the economy is completely to blame. I often wonder if Craigslist has maybe tipped the scale in favor of the buyer, where negotiations are often carried out via email or text, sometimes before the buyer has even looked at the boat or car. It's very easy to email or text a low-ball offer but I have yet to have someone look me in the eye and offer half of my asking price. But it appears to be effective.
I'd rather not finance but given the choice between $6,000 or $6,000 and a promissory note, it's not a hard decision. There seems to be plenty of interest but I'm running out of time and my give-a-*******'s almost broken. I might wait a week or so but Sea Scouts is sounding like a better option, the more I think about it.

House Safety Maintenance Checklist – Do It Now
All of the house safety maintenance checklist items listed below are extremely important for household members, especially for children. While performing home inspections I've noticed that many home owners, parents of small children, are simply not aware about the critical safety issues in their homes. They don't realize that sometimes things need to be updated / replaced to perform as required, and to provide protection.

i'm planning to make a clone paratrooper helmet from pepakura but most of the links are dead.
I've been wondering the same thing. I believe Fierfek is working on some pep files of one but idk if that project is still alive
You can ask Augusto (user: HD1138)
He have done amazing jobs on other SW helmets...
Here is a thread on clonetroopers.net: Hass Dardo Pepakura Models
Hope it helps, best regards from Argentina...
thanks for the tip, he has some great work!. I talked to him and he said that he wont be getting to the movie helmets for some time yet. I did find this thread with a very low poly model. Pepakura Star Wars Clone Sniper Helmet - 405th Infantry Division The download link is dead now though. I would email ChuKoNu directly but the site won't let me register and it says he hasnt been active in almost 3 years. probably a dead end but if anyone is registered to the 405th they might try talking to him.
ok, after a bit of a miracle I found the helmet file for you, meep. its extremely low poly and looks pretty rough, but its a paratrooper helmet. Clone Sniper Helmet [FINAL] - Download - 4shared

You're in for a big surprise. Microsoft is winning one of the most important battles in the digital world: The battle for the TV. The TV battle is important for reasons you already know: TV consumes more time than anything else and it generates annual revenues from $140 to $160 billion each year in the US alone.
But the stakes of the battle have risen sharply. The fight over the TV is really a fight over the next massive consumer platform that is coming up for grabs. Of platforms there are few: Google owns search, Amazon owns digital retail, Facebook owns social, and Apple owns consumer devices. Microsoft owns, well, nothing at the moment, despite its handsome revenue stream from Windows and Office.
That could change soon. Microsoft's Xbox 360 is already the most-watched net-connected TV device in the US and soon, the world. With more than 70 million consoles in households worldwide – as many as half of them connected to the Internet, depending on the country – Microsoft can rapidly drive new video services into tens of millions of households.

All that just to win a pet snake?!
A few years ago (here in Utah,) a mom died from drinking too much water in a contest. She was trying to win her kinds a Wii.
From reading the article, we don't know if it is the bugs that killed him. Since those bugs were raised to be lizard food, I doubt it is the bugs. We'll know more when the autopsy comes out.
Whatever it was, it seemed to hit him quickly.
Darwinism at it's finest.
Does the runner-up get the python now?
I'm not into autopsies in general, but that one - I'd want trauma pay!
I had much the same reaction. I'm not sure I could eat a cockroach if someone's life depended on it, let alone to win a snake.
I noticed a discussion in the article comments as to whether this is the sort of case a medical examiner would welcome or not.
That one surprises me. I thought with all the interest in marathons and running people were aware of water poisoning. Too much water and not enough sodium upsets the electrolyte balance and causes heart arrhythmia.
I'm sure they've actually seen worse...
I don't know, it's still not really common knowledge, IMO. Cause you're supposed to drink lots of water daily, right? Many people may just assume that more can't be unhealthy...
Oh god, I want to barf reading that story.
I really enjoyed the quote though: "Some of the snakes are pretty expensive. I thought if I could eat bugs to get one, it'd be a good idea." No. It is not a good idea. Go home.
The disease organisms/cockroach defecation doesn't make sense to me. Wouldn't that take time? He died too quickly for me to believe it was the bugs. Unless they were still alive and somehow moved into an area that could cause him to stop breathing, or something like that. Don't know if that's possible, thug.
Part of that contest was that they had to drink XX amount of water within a certain amount of time and they were not allowed to urinate. Just plain stupid!
There are consequences for extreme stupidity.
What is the liability for whoever thought of this?
Supposedly the contestants all signed a waiver so I would think and hope that they are not liable. No one was forced to participate.
I also don't think it could be any kind of poisoning. If it was something so severe to kill him so fast then surely other people would have at least gotten ill or died as well. I am almost tempted to think it was something coincidental like a heart attack or brain aneurism. Maybe the excitement from the contest got his blood pressure too high and it was the straw that broke the camels back?
All the contestants signed a waiver ... but of course no one though one could die from eating cockroaches.
I wouldn't necessarily call the contestants in this competition stupid. It wasn't like they picked up random roaches from people's apartments and ate them. They participated in an eating competition, and the roaches were supposedly raised in a clean environment as pet food (although all roaches are disgusting to me, regardless of where they were raised). The other contestants that ate the roaches didn't die.
I remember reading somewhere that the TV show "Fear Factor" is coming back to TV. The producers should think twice about having contestants eat disgusting things on the show.
I am totally not reading this article.
While I'm not a medical examiner or a doctor, what comes to mind as to what caused this guy's death would be something akin to either an allergic reaction of some sort (people can be allergic to roaches just like they can to other insects, fish, shellfish, and other animals) and died of anaphylaxis, or from aspirating vomit and dry-drowning.
Um, don't the contestants know what they're signing up for being on Fear Factor? If you're brave/stupid enough to be on FF, you get what you get.
I don't know about you, but if I was responsible for a show I certainly wouldn't want anyone to die on my watch, even if accidentally.
I think it's premature to call for an end to all "eat disgusting things" contests when we don't even know what this guy died of.
There are lots of TV producers who would LOVE to have someone die on their watch--it would make great ratings.
Until they get sued.
Long time ago there was a show on British TV (ITV?) where people sent in their names to do a daredevil stunt. A name was picked each week and a wheel spun to come up with a stunt which they had a choice of agreeing to or not. They were given a weeks worth of expert training and then the attempt was live. One week it was a long bungee jump from a huge crane in a parking lot. The ropes/clasps/something failed. The show was canceled immediately although it was quite popular.
http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/10/02/oregon-farmer-eaten-by-his-own-hogs/?iref=obnetwork Death by Hogs!!!
I'm sorry, but anyone stupid enough to enter a contest like this has to suffer the consequences. I agree it's probably an allergy, but smart contestants should test that out before they participate by eating small amounts of the various insects involved. Why anyone would do that, however, bewilders me.
Guess he wasn't feeding his pigs properly and they were really hungry.
Some allergies have been linked to trace amounts of insect parts in food, so I guess an even greater quantity of bugs consumed would have a more severe effect for someone who's allergic.
For some reason I keep reading the thread title as death by Bugs (Bunny).

Anthropology is broadly defined as the scientific study of humanity, and includes most any investigation concerned with how people from different cultures and different times behave, think, and interact. For this reason, anthropology has useful applications in many fields including business, public service, consulting practice, and medicine.
Anthropology combines biological, cultural, linguistic, and material approaches to understanding the human condition. An undergraduate major in anthropology at IPFW combines the study of each of anthropology's four subfields:
Although anthropology is divided into four subfields, many anthropologists combine aspects of each of these fields to create unique approaches for explaining human behavior and biology. This holism is one of anthropology's strengths. Because of these diverse interests, anthropologists create syntheses of both behavioral and biological data to increase our understanding of the human condition.

Health Information
Folic AcidSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Though supplements containing 0.8 mg of folic acid are available over-the-counter, tablets and injectable forms that contain more than 1 mg of folic acid are available only with a prescription. The vitamin is used to treat anemia caused by folic acid deficiency, which may result from poor absorption, a dietary deficiency, or pregnancy .
Common brand names:Folvite, Deplin
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Though some studies indicate that supplementing with folic acid reduces blood levels of zinc, most show no interaction between the two nutrients when folic acid is taken at moderate levels.1 Therefore, until more convincing evidence is available, people taking moderate amounts of folic acid do not need to supplement with zinc. Zinc supplementation is recommended when folic acid intake is high. A doctor should be consulted to determine the appropriate time to add zinc supplementation to folic acid therapy.
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine
Vitamin B6
Folic acid and vitamin B6 have been used to reduce elevated blood levels of homocysteine , which has been associated with atherosclerosis . One controlled study showed that taking 0.3 mg of folic acid together with 120 mg of vitamin B6 reduced homocysteine levels more than taking either vitamin alone. The study also revealed that long-term supplementation with vitamin B6 alone might reduce blood folic acid levels.2 Therefore, people with elevated blood homocysteine levels should supplement with both folic acid and vitamin B6.
Reduces Effectiveness
One controlled study showed that taking folic acid together with an antacid containing aluminum and magnesium hydroxide reduced the absorption of the vitamin.3 Therefore, individuals should take folic acid one hour before or two hours after taking antacids containing aluminum and magnesium hydroxide.
Potential Negative Interaction

I have an hp-mini running BT4 that I use to monitor my network. It has a built in Broadcom BCM4312 wireless card. I am currently using a RAlink2573, switching between monitor and managed modes as needed because the broadcom card will not show up in any wireless programs or iwconfig. What i want is for both cards to work so that i can use the ralink in monitor mode and the broadcom in managed. When I go to hardware drivers it says broadcom b43 wireless driver is activated but not currently in use. I have tried toggling the switch while booting, installing numerous other drivers to the point where i had to reinstall BT4, but still can't get it to work, any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Scientists from GlaxoSmithKline (Other OTC: GLAXF.PK - news) are to study how traditional Chinese medicine can be applied to modern drugs as part of a revamp of the company's research and development.
Britain's biggest drug maker last week unveiled the outcome of a review of its 38 groups of scientists, known as Discovery Performance Units (DPU), saying it would close three units and open four.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the new units will look at traditional Chinese medicines, investigating how their principles can be applied to making new, synthetic, molecules.
"Within our discovery organisation in China we have created a DPU that will marry traditional Chinese medicine with modern drug discovery and clinical efficacy," said Moncef Slaoui, Glaxo's chairman of research and development. "With modern technology we have the potential to yield new molecular entities with significant efficacy."
The new unit will be based in China Glaxo launched an R&D centre in Shanghai almost five years ago.
With its pharmaceutical market forecast to mushroom to more than $100bn (£63.5bn) by 2015, China is one of the most important battlegrounds for drug companies facing pricing pressure and more competition from generics.
Glaxo's move reflects a wish by drug companies to adapt their research to particular regions. Six (SNP: ^SIXY - news) years ago, AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN.L - news) established a centre in China to study diseases prevalent in Asia, such as liver and stomach cancer, and lung conditions.
Last October, Astra also said it planned to invest $200m in a new Chinese factory making intravenous and oral solid medicines.
Astra's sales in emerging markets, including China, grew 10pc to $5.8bn last year, while Glaxo's Asia Pacific (Chicago Options: ^RASPUSD - news) revenues grew 7pc to £1.8bn.

text: The last 1:30-2:00 minutes of the game or whatever time was left after Stuckey put them up 3 I was expecting and dreading the Hawks 3 pointer that was going to tie it. That being said my jaw hit the floor when Horford hit that "three". It hit the floor again when ATL stole the inbounds pass after it was ruled a two. I've always felt Tay is pretty bad at inbounding the ball. He must lead the league in either inbounding the ball or calling timeout at 4.99 seconds. The one flaw I see in Drummond's game is that he doesn't play with his hands very high and/or he's not very long. He doesn't seem that disruptive if he switches on a pick and roll and is trying to defense against a pass. I only watched the 2nd half mostly but it didn't seem like the bench with Daye and CCG et al was insanely hot. They still were far from being picked apart by ATL for their deficiencies. Did Singler play? Maybe he was rusty from his time off, but Stuckey looked like a flat tire out there with 2nd group.

I got this problem that just seems to have surfaced within the past week. The first time I noticed, I started the car and the navigation showed my position about 12 miles away in the next town over. Now its been doing the same thing nearly every time I start up the navigation. I can correct it sometimes by going into settings/position on map and manually moving the cursor to my correct location. I say sometimes it works, because 50% of the time I can move the cursor to the position I'm at and it will then work just fine but other times the nav will have my heading completely wrong (I'm going north, but nav has me going south) and it will not correct. Sometimes it will just slowly drift off my real position and eventually it won't even be on a road anymore.
Tonight, no matter how many times I tried to correct the nav by moving the cursor, it kept my heading well off of where it should be, practically 180 degrees from the way I was actually going. So as soon as I started moving again the maps would be totally off.
Anyone ever experience this?

The Weekly Health Quiz: Pool Parasites, Death Rattle and Food as Medicine
June 23, 2017
Aplastic anemia is a condition in which the bone marrow does not make enough new blood cells. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue in the center of bones.
Recent findings and perspectives on medical research.
Anemia, the most common blood disorder, has been viewed for far too long as an "innocent bystander."
Aplastic anemia results from injury to the blood stem cells. These are immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all other blood cells types. The injury causes a decrease in the number of every type of blood cell. These cells are the red cells, white cells, and platelets.
Aplastic anemia can also be caused by certain medical conditions such as pregnancy or lupus. Exposure to certain toxins or medicines, including chemotherapy, can also lead to aplastic anemia.
Symptoms result from the bone marrow not being able to make new blood cells. Symptoms may be severe from the start or gradually worsen over time.
Low red cell count (anemia) can cause:
Low white cell count (leukopenia) causes an increased risk of infection.
Low platelet count (thrombocytopenia) can result in bleeding. Symptoms include:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam.
Blood tests will show:
A bone marrow biopsy shows fewer-than-normal blood cells and an increased amount of fat.
Mild cases of aplastic anemia may require no treatment. Symptoms are treated as needed.
If blood counts become lower, patients receive extra blood and platelets through transfusions. Over time, transfusions may stop working, resulting in very low blood cell counts. This is a life-threatening condition.
Bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant may be recommended for patients under age 40. This treatment works best when the donor is a fully-matched brother or sister. This is called a matched sibling donor.
Older patients and those who do not have a matched sibling donor are given medicines to suppress the immune system. These medicines may allow the bone marrow to once again make healthy blood cells. But the disease may return (relapse). A bone marrow transplant with an unrelated donor may be tried if these medicines do not help or if the disease comes back after getting better
Untreated, severe aplastic anemia leads to rapid death. Bone marrow transplant is very successful in young people. It is also used in older patients or when the disease comes back after medicines have been tried.
Call your health care provider or go to the emergency room if bleeding occurs for no reason, or if bleeding is hard to stop. Call if you notice frequent infections or unusual fatigue.

text: What a great season for the Canadian ladies! Kaetlyn Osmond earned two berths for Canada in Sochi and we have a potentially great battle for the second spot. And Gabrielle Daleman and Alaine Chartand (the front runners for that second spot) just missed getting three spots at next years junior worlds, but amazingly they did get two spots per JGP next year, and there's enough talent coming up in junior and novice to use those spots! For next season, I think Daleman and Chartrand should do the senior Grand Prix. It's unlikely that they'd get a non host pick based on their season best rankings though. I'm not sure what to do with Julianne Séguin, who is actually higher on the season best list than Chartrand, but I think she could benefit from another year on the JGP, especially with a solid triple loop. I also wonder who will get the second spot to the world team trophy. Do they have to send Lacoste due to ISU ranking or can they send Chartrand? I'd love to see Chartrand with a chance to improve her season best score. So let's see how this thread evolves. I know there's at least one FSUer who identifies as "Canadian ladies über friendly."

Security guards working for the the Dubai-based security company, United Resources Group, were escorting a civilian convoy through the streets of Baghdad when they came to an intersection. One of the guards signaled for an Oldsmobile to move over so they could speed on, but apparently, the driver of the Oldsmobile did not act fast enough. According to shopkeeper Ammar Fallah who observed the incident, 'when she failed to do so they opened fire, killing her and the woman next to her. The women were both shot in the head." Witnesses said the convoy then sped away "like gangsters."
This incident is not unusual, it is merely one of dozens that daily occur in the streets of Baghdad. The Iraq war is the first in American history in which our military has abrogated its responsibilities for safety and security by turning over duties formerly performed by trained soldiers to mercenaries working for private security companies. America has entrusted its future to hired gun men who are not bound by any laws of either Iraq or the United States. It is interesting the women were both shot in the head, this indicates someone took aim, knew their targets, and fired. Is this the best way America can bring democracy to Iraq?

Wednesday 13th April 2011
As a town, and even the locals we spoke to agreed, Blackpool has seen more prosperous times. The fact remains though that I personally have enjoyed some of the most entertaining weekends of my life in this seaside location. With football the latest excuse for being there, this was definitely no exception.
There is no doubt it always had potential to be the perfect tonic after what can only be described as a difficult and frustrating period culminating in what has been widely described as arguably our worst performance of the season at home to Blackburn last week.
On a personal note it was a day where I got to experience something very new and special as a business contact of mine kindly invited me to join him for an afternoon in the Diamond Club. Despite the quite wonderful surroundings, food, drink and spectacular match views, my host Steve and I felt the same disappointment as we all did at dropping two points in a game where three were almost essential.
The fall-out from the playing and coaching staff was there for all to listen to and read and mirrored our own thoughts I feel. That's football I suppose and if I can try and remove the match from my thoughts I can only thank my host for allowing me to enjoy such a wonderful experience on the day.
The build-up to Blackpool almost felt like the same emotions when just about to go on holiday, especially in the latter parts of the week when it was apparent the whole weekend could be graced with glorious sunshine! In Blackpool, in April... incredible!
Near on 30 of us made the trip for the full duration and it was clear many hundreds of travelling Gooners had done the same. Like us, I'm sure each and every one certainly made the most of it.
Friday's traffic was expectedly heavy but bearable all things considered and preceded a night where we all pushed it to the limit in the usual fashion.
Saturday as a result was met with a large chunk of nausea but there can be no better way to ease the pain than by relaxing in the hot sunshine talking about the previous night's exploits and preparing to do it all over again!
Sunday's sunny morning meant checking out of our 'interesting' accommodation and the build-up to the game of course. Stupid headwear was purchased in one of the many seafront stalls (like you do) and we made our way down to Bloomfield Road, for most of us the first time we have done this to see our team.
We have reached the stage in our season where we simply had to win. No other result would be good enough. Add that pressure to the noise provided by the colourful home fans and this was not going to be an easy game.
The first goal was crucial for me and my man of the match Abou Diaby provided just that before Manu slammed home a fine second minutes later to give us the perfect start.
Come half time it could have been four or five but having not taken our chances we all knew the 15 minutes after half time would be crucial. Unfortunately our lead was quickly cut in half and for ten minutes or so we were seriously under pressure, surviving a couple of clear-cut openings and a penalty decision going in our favour.
Theo's pace, just like in the opposite fixture back in August, definitely brought us a dimension that our hosts struggled to handle and RVP slotted home his pass in one such passage of play pretty much securing the all-important three points.
Simply a fine end to a stupendous away day. Just like our own team I'm sure we all hope they too win all their games until the end of the season!
Liverpool come to London N5 next in what is always a mouthwatering fixture in any season. They arrive off the back of a good result against Manchester City on Monday night and with hopes of European football next season.
We need to continue where we left off on Sunday, it is as simple as that.
The headwear, however, will be staying at home as a memory of a fine weekender!

DC Republicans Bow to Big Media "Friends", Fire Pro-Copyright Reform Staffer

Termination comes after RIAA and MPAA "went ballistic"
While corruption in Congress is nothing new (see:
), with the rise of modern lobbying things have reached impressive new proportions, as chronicled on
, and other well-researched online voter resources.
I. MPAA, RIAA Get Republican Staffer Fired
One of the most active lobbying influences in Washington D.C. have been media corporations, represented by trade groups like the
Motion Picture Association of America
(MPAA) and
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA). Recent estimates indicate that big media
paid 10 percent of members of Congress's
total reelection budget in the previous election cycle -- and the payments almost paid off as
big media's Orwellian SOPA
(Stop Online Piracy Act) was
only struck down
in the eleventh hour
amid a
storm of citizen lashback
Now comes word that a top traditional conservative (or in some source's words "Libertarian-leaning") staffer on the
Republican Study Committee
(RSC) has been terminated for his stance on
copyright reform
The fired staffer's name is Derek Khanna, and he turned heads in mid-November when he authored a pro-reform memo [
], which was thoroughly vetted and published by the RSC, a key advisory body to the conservative wing of federal Republican Representatives in Congress.
In his memo, Derek Khanna took issue with the RIAA's traditional rhetoric that piracy is a crime worth punishing with fines of up to $150,000 USD per song. [Image Source: RIAA]
In the memo (available below), Mr. Khanna argued that
punishments of up to $150,000 USD per work
for private citizens found guilty of filesharing are grossly out of line with reality.
Republican Study Committee Intellectual Property Brief
According to
's sources:
As soon as [the Khanna memo] was published, the MPAA and RIAA apparently went ballistic and hit the phones hard, demanding that the RSC take down the report. They succeeded.
RSC director subsequently complained that the memo had been published without adequate review, denying that the vetting process (which did occur) was sufficient. He essentially bowed the RIAA and MPAA demands, disavowing the Libertarian/reformist memo.
Representative Steve Scalise
(R-Lous.) recalls being "approached by several Republican members of Congress who were upset [about Khan's memo]", according to
The Washington Examiner
. Among those representatives (according to
The Washington Examiner
) was
Rep. Marsha Blackburn
(R-Tenn.), who
according to
The Center for Responsive Politics (OpenSecrets) received more money from the music industry than any other Republican Congressional candidate.
Funded by the music industry, Rep. Blackburn demanded Mr. Khanna be sacked for his comments, which offended her corporate masters. [Image Source: AP]
In the wake of the not-so-invisible hand exerting its influence on the elected officials, Rep. Scalise reportedly successfully pushed the RSC to fire Mr. Khanna, who will not be returning when Congress reconvenes in January.
II. Disavowing the Conservative Wing to Placate Special Interests
The move potentially puts the end to the career in the Republican party of the prominent-tech savvy 24-year-old, who many viewed as among the faces of young conservatism in the party. Active in Republican politics during his undergraduate education at University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Mr. Khanna's first official post was working as an advisor to Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.).
Mr. Khanna has international experience, having studied in the Middle East, and was a key advisor to the RSC in cybersecurity with
his resume
[LinkedIn] citing his interest in "building computers and beta testing software" and experience in "C++, Backtrack, Python, Sql, Java, Dreamweaver/Photoshop, statistical modeling".
Derek Khanna, former RSC staffer [Image Source: ArsTechnica/Derek Khanna]
The firing represents a key schism in the Republican ranks. After all, Mr. Khanna may be singled out as the sacrificial lamb in the face of RIAA and MPAA wrath, but his sentiments were clearly shared to an extent by fellow staffers who vetted the memo.
Conservative authors and IP analysts Chris Sprigman and Kal Raustiala echoed Mr. Khanna's sentiments in a
post-election commentary
, suggesting the Republican Party shift to a position of copyright reform to court young voters and libertarians. Likewise,
Jerry Brito
, a scholar at the conservative/libertarian
Mercatus Center
think-tank, has just published "
Copyright Unbalanced: From Incentive to Excess
", a book which was honored by a special discussion panel by another top conservative/libertarian think-tank,
The Cato Institute
In other words, Reps. Scalise and Blackburn may have succeeded in firing one voice of reform, but their actions are dividing the Republican Party from its conservative/reformist backers. In that regard the copyright reform question is perhaps a microcosm of the more macroscopic search for identity and the balance of special interests with principles that is occurring among Republicans on The Hill.

Student Works to Improve Local Public Access Station
Posted by Jayce Koester '16, Center for Small Towns on Monday, Nov. 19, 2012
Seth Elsen '13, Shelton, Washington, is currently working with the Center for Small Towns (CST) and the City of Morris Public Access Television channel to improve the practicality and usability of the station. Elsen, along with City Manager Blaine Hill, began work on the project in October. The goal of the project's initial phase is to create a plan that will streamline the channel, which currently utilizes a system of DVDs and alarms to schedule programming. This current arrangement leaves dead air time and may not be the most effective way of delivering programming.
Elsen plans to provide a list of possible grant and funding sources to the organization as well as a tentative plan for streamlining the station's processes. Changes that Elsen plans will be aimed at using air time constructively, delivering media that consumers want and need, and making the broadcasting system as efficient as possible. At the end of the planning and preliminary process this spring, the City of Morris hopes to implement a new broadcasting system.
Elsen has been working with CST for three years since transferring from the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, Washington. As a political science and resource management major, he sees significant benefit to working with CST, as it offers him practical experience aligning with what he may pursue as a career. Working with CST has allowed Elsen to gain experience in understanding and working with tribal policy and sustainable energy integration as well as the SUN-E project, which helped create more sustainable energy resources for the Morris campus. Elsen is excited to be working with the Morris community to help improve the public broadcasting system.
The University of Minnesota, Morris Center for Small Towns is a community outreach program that serves as a point-of-entry to the resources of the University of Minnesota. Small towns, local units of government, k-12 schools, nonprofit organizations, and other University units are able to utilize the Center's resources as they work on rural issues or make contributions to rural society. Their mission is to focus the University's attention and marshal its resources toward assisting Minnesota's small towns with locally identified issues by creating applied learning opportunities for faculty and students.

Elizabeth Williams also had 24 points and Haley Peters scored 17 for the top-seeded Blue Devils (30-2).
Tierra Ruffin-Pratt had a career-high 25 points to lead the third-seeded Tar Heels (28-6). The senior standout averaged 21.3 points over three games in Greensboro to earn first-team all-tournament honors. Latifah Coleman, who's incredible performance Saturday pushed UNC into the final, and Waltiea Rolle were second-team selections.
Williams reached double figures for the 19th straight time against an ACC opponent and set a league record by blocking a shot in her 65th straight game.
The most lopsided ACC title game since North Carolina beat Duke by 21 in 2005 capped an otherwise tight four days in Greensboro. In nine of the first 10 games, the outcome of was in serious doubt heading down the stretch. But Duke never led by fewer than 16 during the final 17 minutes of this one.
Both of Jones' best games have come against the Tar Heels: She hung 22 points on them eight days earlier at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
She put the Blue Devils up by 20 for the first time with a free throw with 17:21 left, and a few seconds later, she made the Tar Heels look silly by stealing the ensuing inbounds pass and converting a layup to make it 49-26.
That had Duke well on its way to improving to 6-1 without Chelsea Gray, the ACC co-player of the year whose season is over because of a knee injury.
The Blue Devils won by 21 points last month in Chapel Hill and beat UNC 65-58 last week in Durham. The two teams met for the ninth time in an ACC title game, with eight of those coming since 2000, and Duke improved to 6-3 in those matchups.
In this one, Duke erased an early six-point deficit with a 29-6 run over an 11-minute stretch late in the half, a burst that included streaks of 11 and 14 consecutive points.
Williams scored nine points during the spurt, starting it with a three-point play with 11:48 left and capping it with a jumper with about 42 seconds remaining to make the score 39-22.
Coleman and Rolle added 10 points apiece for North Carolina. The Tar Heels, who missed 19 consecutive shots in their visit to Durham a week ago, went cold again - missing on 15 of their final 17 attempts of the half as they fell way behind.

Men's Soccer Adds Two Transfers to Roster
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's soccer team has added two transfer players to its roster effective for the spring 2013 semester, head coach Dan Popik announced Thursday morning.
"I'm excited to welcome Jean Carlo and Taurean to the program and expect both players to have an immediate impact within our team." Popik said. "We added two players from successful college programs who understand what it takes to win. Having both Jean Carlo and Taurean enroll in the spring will be beneficial to their individual growth and to our team preparation for the Fall."
Junior Jean Carlo Perez (New York, N.Y.) comes to Green Bay after a successful stay at Monroe College, a junior college in New York City where he played in the NJCAA National Championship game during the 2011 season, his last season with the program.
"Jean Carlo is a quick, athletic goalkeeper with excellent shot stopping ability." Popik said. "Perez has the potential and ability to be a very good goalkeeper in the Horizon League."
Perez, who will be a junior for the 2013 season, was selected as an All-American following the 2011 season after logging a 0.56 goals against average.
"I'm very excited to be a part of this team and its tradition, and I knew as soon as I met the coaching staff when I was back in New York I'd enjoy playing here in Green Bay," Perez said.
A transfer from High Point University, Tauren Greenidge (Bridgetown, Barbados) is a midfielder that will also be a junior for the 2013 season. Greenidge is a native of Bridgetown, Barbados, and played in 17 games last season for the Panthers.
"Tauren is a talented midfield who will add speed and athleticism to our group. He can cover a lot of space in the midfield on both sides of the ball," Popik said. "He played an important role on a very successful High Point team that was ranked in the Top 25 last season."
Greenidge scored a goal in a 6-0 win over Northern Kentucky last season, the same team Green Bay defeated 1-0 on August 24.
"Coach Popik was really nice and is well-educated about the game, so it made my decision to come here a lot easier," Greenidge said.
Not only is Popik pleased with adding two talented players, he's pleased with the fact they chose to transfer to Green Bay from outside the state and even outside the Midwest.
"This is a special program with a great history that has a track record of not only producing professional soccer players but student-athletes who are successful in their post college careers. Having players from different parts of the country and world provides a good learning environment for our student-athletes on and off the field," Popik said.

Ok deal is I have fiberglass Gauntlets (not a big deal) but the left one keeps twisting on me. Now ive tryed to take some of the weight off and I have a Velcro strap in there to get it tight on my arm but it still doesnt work. Was thinking about replacing the flame thrower with something a little lighter, so any ideas where to get or make a lighter flame thrower would help. But the twisting thing is the big problem.
Im about tired of it twisting!! Might just get new ones that are lighter!!!

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by FSWer, Jan 19, 2013.
Does anyone know what she is doing now? As we haven't heard much of her.
From Wikipedia:
She hasn't skated in a while. I doubt we will see her again.
Danielle Kahle's last competition that I know of was in November 2011 - she placed 5th at Pacific Coast Sectionals and missed qualifying for 2012 U.S. Nationals by one place (top 4 advance).
From an early 2011 local article on Kahle:
"A Cal State Northridge freshman majoring in film directing, screenwriting and editing, she plans a career in front of or behind the camera."
So she's Retired now? Who is Danielle coaching? Does she coach Basic Skills Learn to Skate? How old is she now btw.?
She is 23. I can't answer the rest of your questions.
She coaches at Simi Valley Iceoplex. I see her sometimes.
Question, was she one of the three girls that was shown on television at Nationals sometime during the 2002-2006 quadrennial? Yep, I'm sure it was her, along with the one that looked exactly like Tara Lipinski (skated like her as well, forgot her name, but she wanted a pink Hummer, that I do remember ), and the last girl was the one & only lovely Kimmie Meissner. I recall the speculation of who among them would stand out, and it was Kimmie that panned out during that quadrennial.
Thanks for bringing it up, FSWer, brings back some wonderful cherished memories of that time...
The third girl in that trio was Katy Taylor.
Katy Taylor was the one who wanted a pink Hummer, I think she grew out of that wish.
If you are talking about the show Ice Diaries, the four girls were Katy, Danielle, Bebe Liang and Alissa Czisny.
It was Sandy Rucker, not Katy Taylor, on that show.
But they're talking about what, if I remember correctly, was a fluff piece shown during Nationals. The only thing I distinctly remember about that fluff piece was Katy's hummer wish.
What is Katy Taylor doing now, anyone know?
According to Wiki, Katy gave birth to her first child in September, but no source is cited.
Thanks everybody for Katy's name, that's the one. And, yes, I'm talking about the little snippet from Nationals one year during the 2002-2006 quadrennial, wherein three young junior girls were sitting on a couch giggling. And, no, never watched Ice Diaries nor any other ice skating reality show except for Johnny Weir's.

Have you tried the 10mm talk forums?
I am just curious if there are any other 10mm shooters out there. Granted, there are not many new guns chambered for this cartridge anymore, but it really is a fantastic round.
My custom Delta Elite has been an almost constant companion for many years and has proven itself to be a reliable and effective piece of equipment. Whether for target shooting, competition, or defensive use, loaded with appropriate ammo, there are few other cartridges that can match the 10mm's performance and versatility.
When Loaded with light weight bullets (135grn), it is a very fast, flat shooting round that is not difficult to control. With medium weight bullets (155-180grn) loaded to moderate velocity, it becomes a potent self defense cartridge. And when hand loaded with heavy weight bullets (200grn) and driven hard, true magnum performance, suitable for hunting and protection from large four legged critters, can be achieved.
So any other fans out there??

Thread: What Do You Do When?
What Do You Do When?
Well let me start by saying hello to everyone. Tell me does anyone have this problem. I have brand new Mathews Switchback (about a month now), possibly, no definatly the the best bow I have every shot hands down. Smooth, fast, completly vibration free. Just a sweet shooting machine. The problem is that after less than 500 shots the end serving on the string moves and breaks and starts to unwind were it goes around the cam (at the let-off point). Now I dont mind going to the shop and getting this fixed, but how about when you half way through the R100? Does anyone else have this problem or am I the only one. Also this is the new Zebra Baracuda sting that is supposed to be so great. Is there a fix to this situation. I once heard of someone putting high tack rubber cement on the center serving to keep it in place (a lite coating on the area to be served). I would think this would not be good after the stuff dries and hardens.

Six Point
Just went down to my den to check out my Switchback after I read your problem. I have been shooting my since Jan. indoor league and 3-D -----
should be well over 500 shots. I hate to tell you this but I looked real close and couldn't see any problem. I do agree of the bows I have owned in my 40 plus years of bow hunting this is the sweetest.
Last edited by skip hershey; 04-27-2005 at 08:46 PM.
Thanks Skip. I believe in my first post I may have said it was on the string and its on the actually cable, sorry sometimes my fingers cant type what my brain is thinking. LOL. Took it back to the dealer yestarday and said he have it by Friday, wish it was sooner, I have some new fletching combo's I want to try. He's going to reserve it. Does not have cable and I want for 3-D this weekend. Well anyway have to head off to work, thanx for the info. I will be keeping an eye on it after this.
Hey Bowman,
I was at my local archery shop today (claim to be the largest Mathews dealer in the world) and I ask about your problem. He said the earlier Switchbacks had some quality problems with the cable and that the problem has been corrected and that Mathews replaced them without question. Hope this helps.

Veggie-Packed Black Bean Chili
It's been unseasonably rainy and cool in Sydney lately, save the beautiful weekend that just past. Since it's expected to carry on like this for another month (I don't think this has anything to do with Ground Hog's Day, but I can't be sure) – it's best to just happily embrace it.
At least undesirable weather gives me an excuse to cook hearty meals that make staying inside a little more fun. And let's face it: a big pot of chili is always a good time!
Don't worry, I have a garnish that will make the meat lovers come around to this otherwise vegetarian chili. A generous sprinkling of crispy chorizo on top of this colorful chili will kick it into omnivore territory and add another layer of smokey flavor.
Good tortilla chips, avocado and a nice sharp cheddar are strongly encouraged as additional garnishes.
Veggie-Packed Black Bean Chili
(Serves 4-6)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 medium sized red pepper, roughly chopped
1 medium sized green pepper, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons mild chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups of cooked black beans
1 can (1 1/2 cups) of diced tomatoes
- Butternut squash is particularly good for holding its shape. For tips on pealing and dicing your squash, here's a Food52 video.
- If I have leftover roasted squash on hand, I'll use that instead – cut it into 1-inch chunks and add to the pot in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- If I can't find chipotle peppers in Adobo (like when I'm in Australia) I use 2 tablespoons of smokey BBQ sauce.

Program That Helped Alleviate Hardship, Create Jobs Set to End Thursday
Sep 29, 2010
Pacifica Radio posted a segment on the TANF Emergency Fund's expiration that quotes Ms. Lower-Basch. Listen to the segment.
Most of the tens of thousands of individuals working at jobs subsidized by the TANF Emergency Fund will work their last day tomorrow, receive their last paycheck, and then try to figure out what happens next.
This is because on Sept. 30, 2010, the TANF Emergency Fund expires. States will no longer be able to receive federal funding for increased spending on cash assistance, short-term benefits, or subsidized jobs. This is incredibly disappointing. Millions in the nation face unprecedented hardship, and this program helped to alleviate some of that hardship.
The TANF Emergency Fund was created in February 2009 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to assist states in expanding services during the recession. At that time, most people did not realize how deep or long-lasting the recession would be. Congress did not expect that in September 2010, unemployment would still be stuck at nearly 10 percent. CLASP has been calling for an extension of the Emergency Fund since January, and such an extension was included in President Obama's budget proposal for FY 2011. The House has included such an extension in several bills, but the Senate has failed to pass an extension of the Emergency Fund.
The last attempt occurred Tuesday, when Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Robert Casey (D-Penn.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) sought "unanimous consent" for a stop-gap measure that would have extended the program for three months. However, Wyoming Sen. Mike Enzi objected to the motion, and it failed.
Although this program has received widespread and bi-partisan support at the state and local levels, the Republican leadership in the Senate has refused to allow it to be included in the Continuing Resolution, the bill that will extend government operations until all FY 2011 budget bills pass.
Fortunately, all is not lost for some workers. Illinois used TANF Emergency Fund dollars to employ more than 26,000 people since April through its Putting Illinois to Work program. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn announced recently the state would use its own funds to continue the program for two months. This will allow workers to stay on the job while the state waits to see whether Congress will revive the Emergency Fund when it returns to session after the November elections.
