CNN is reporting that Hunger Games assistant director Peter Rodger and his wife received a 140 page manifesto from their son and immediately tried to find him and stop him from carrying out his plan to kill people. The parents had previously called police about their 22 year old son Elliot Rodger, and police investigated, but did not take any action because they had not seen the YouTube videos that Elliot had made. I don't understand that part. They called the police because of the videos he posted, but the police never looked at the actual videos before determining nothing could be done?
After the couple received the manifesto they drove from LA to Santa Barbara but heard about the shootings on the radio as they were driving. Their son killed six people before killing himself and leaving 13 people injured.

Library exhibit shows life at Governor's Mansion
Step into life at the South Carolina Governor's Mansion through the words of the governors, their wives and their children in a new exhibit on display in the Ernest F. Hollings Special Collections Library at the University of South Carolina.
The exhibit will run through Aug. 31 and is free and open to the public.
"Life in the Mansion," compiled by South Carolina Political Collections (SCPC), offers a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of South Carolina's first families. Through text panels and illustrations, the exhibit paints a full picture of life at 800 Richland Street, including First Lady Iris Campbell's revelation about how the state's hard-won deal with auto manufacturer BMW was drafted on a cocktail napkin. Also featured is a story by First Lady Ann Edwards about Victoria, the family cat, which refused to leave a dinner being held for dignitaries.
Information for the exhibit was drawn from interviews with the first families conducted by the late George Terry, former dean of University Libraries. The "narrators" of the exhibit range from Ernest F. "Fritz" Hollings, governor from 1959 to 1963, to James H. Hodges, governor from 1999 to 2003, and members of their families.

Three-point barrage leads Tornados over Bulldogs, 85-65November 26, 2011
Brevard hits five in a row during second half in improving to 4-0 on the season
Brevard, N.C. - Lindsay Brendle and Micheala Watkins each scored 17 points, leading four Tornados in double figures as Brevard connected on 12 three-pointers in the contest in beating the visiting Tennessee Wesleyan Bulldogs on Saturday evening in Boshamer Gymnasium, 85-65.
Taylor Hiatt added a career high 10 points, including two three-pointers as Brevard (4-0) hit eight treys over a span of 17 possessions in the second half, including five in a row by three different BC players as the Tornados pulled away in the second half, going up by as many as 24 points before recording the victory over the Bulldogs (4-4).
Anna Schlobohm was also in double-digits with 14 points as Brevard continues their winning streak to open the 2011-2012 season. Micheala Watkins added six rebounds and four assists, while Alyssa Cutshaw had eight points and seven rebounds as Brevard shot 41.4 percent (29-70) from the floor in the contest, 12-for-23 from behind the arc in the victory.
Leah Frazier led Tennessee Wesleyan with 13 points, while Jaryn Davis and Christine Lumbasio were in double figures off the bench for the Bulldogs with 12 and 11 respectively as TWC shot 54.0 percent (27-50) from the floor in the contest. Candace Cain added eight points, six assists and six rebounds for the Bulldogs who fell for just the fourth time this season.
Rochelle Davidson's layup opened the game, but the Tornados answered with an 8-0 run over the first three minutes of the contest as Watkins hit a three-pointer and Brendle went in for a pair of layups to build the early lead. The Tornados lead surged to nine twice in the first half, but the Bulldogs fought back, bringing the game back to within two at 27-25 at the 4:38 mark as Lumbasio hit a jumper in the paint to narrow the BC lead.
A layup by Hiatt extended the BC lead to four and after Lumbasio hit another short jump shot in the paint, Brevard went on a 12-0 run sparked by a Brendle layup and capped by a pair of three's by Schlobohm and Watkins to go up 43-28 with 2:12 left in the first half. Davis answered with a three-pointer in the closing seconds to cut the lead back to 12 as the teams went into the break with Brevard holding the 43-31 advantage.
Cody Houck scored the first basket out of the half, going in for the layup off the fast break to put the score at 43-33, and the lead remained at 10 at the 16:39 mark after another Houck layup at 49-39.
The Tornados began their largest run of the second half at the 15:48 mark as Watkins went in for a pair of layups and Schlobohm hit a three-pointer go up 56-39 with 14:50 to play. Over the next several possessions, Hiatt and Cutshaw each hit two three-pointers, Asheley Watkins connected on a trey and Katelynne Poole and Chezney McJunkin also hit from deep at Brevard built their largest lead of the game at 76-52 with 8:28 to play.
Tennessee Wesleyan continued to battle back in the game as Michelle Davis score six consecutive points for the Bulldogs and Lumbasio hit a pair of free throws, but Frazier's three-pointer was answered by Poole as the Tornados closed out the contest at home, 85-65.
The Tornados defense forced 20 turnovers in the contest, led by Brendle's three steals and set a program record for least amount of turnovers, only giving the ball up four times in the contest. Brevard also won the battle of the boards, 36-35 and had 14 rebounds on the offensive glass.

On Wednesday, Frank J. Zamboni & Co., Inc. delivered its 10,000th production machine since it was founded more than 60 years ago.
For six decades, the Zamboni Company has built its famous ice resurfacing machines by hand, one at a time in Paramount, and for the past three decades in its Brantford, Ontario, plant in Canada. To commemorate the production of the 10,000th machine, time-lapse cameras were used to record its assembly and the footage will be posted on the Zamboni Company's website, zamboni.com.
The machine, an electric Zamboni Model 552, was delivered to the National Hockey League's Montreal Canadiens.
One of the NHL's Original Six teams, the Montreal Canadiens was the first of the NHL's Canadian teams to receive a Zamboni ice resurfacing machine, which was delivered in November 1954.
"I know that my grandfather would feel a great sense of accomplishment in reaching this production milestone," Frank Zamboni, Zamboni's executive vice president, who also runs the factory/operation in Brantford, said by e-mail. "He built the first machine to maintain his rink in Paramount ... and as the business grew, so did his commitment to continually improve upon his original invention. It's a significant achievement for our company and we're looking forward to its delivery to the Montreal Canadiens."
Frank Zamboni introduced the world's first electric-powered ice resurfacer during the Squaw Valley Winter Olympic Games in California in 1960.
Since that time, the company has manufactured more than 10,000 electric resurfacers for use in arenas all over the world.

BWW Interview: JIMMY KIMMEL On Going Head-to-Head With Jay Leno
Starting tomorrow, Tuesday January 8, 2013, Jimmy Kimmel, host and executive producer of the Emmy Award-nominated JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, the ABC Television Network's late-night talk show, moves to his new time slot at 11:35 pm.
Kimmel recently spoke about what the time change means for his show as well as why he still holds a grudge against 'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno.
I began by asking Kimmel how he goes about the Herculean task of writing his nightly monologue. "Something I did on the show last night, just a little thing - I talked about how Santa Claus might be the biggest prank ever pulled, this kind of ruse that we engage in to trick our children into believing this mythological creature exists and brings them toys. It's really a prank when you boil it down. And this is something I thought about as I was lying in bed at like 6:00 in the morning, and then I fell back asleep. And I didn't remember it until I was writing the monologue that night. And it hit me and I thought, 'oh, yes, that's right.' Usually, I take little notes whenever I think of something I might use on the air. But you really always - when you do a show like this or a radio show, you need so much material that you evaluate - if you're doing your job, you're evaluating everything that you consume and everything that happens to you and deciding, oh, is this something that I could use for the show? Is this something that people will be interested in hearing my take on? And so, I do that constantly. I mean it really never ends - and it's exhausting!"
Kimmel believes that beginning the show at an earlier time should have little or no impact on how things are run; "...at 10:00 a.m., I get the 27-page packet from the writers with all of the ideas and jokes for the day, and I start going through those and then I hand those off to the writers to make into scripts, the things I've approved." explains Kimmel. " And so [in the new time slot] it will be identical to the way we've always done things. The only big difference is in the past, taping at 7:00 p.m., which was later than everyone else, we'd get a chance to see who won "American Idol," who won "The Voice," you know, you get to see the results of these shows and we won't have that now. So because we're on earlier that will change it a little bit."
The host emphasized that moving his show up twenty-five minutes earlier can make a big impact in the ratings race. "The big deal is that for some reason, people go to sleep at midnight - you lose a lot of people at that time. I think people look at their clock and they say, 'midnight is the time I am going to go to bed.' And so, the audience is just much bigger. There are a lot more people up watching television at 11:35 than there are at midnight. It's as simple as that. And on top of it, there is - and maybe this is just something that we in the industry are more interested in than the general public is, but there's a mythology and traditions surrounding that 11:35 time slot that started with Johnny Carson and then became a big deal when Leno went up against Letterman. And so, people are interested in it from that standpoint as well."
But Kimmel maintains that despite the new hour, he has no intention of changing what has proven to be a successful formula. "I think there's this idea that you need to broaden the show or make it - you know, make it more wholesome or something like that. And I think that's a little bit out of date, that perception. Now, I think things have become so fragmented that you can continue doing the show that you've been doing and have success at 11:35, although I could be wrong. I guess only time will tell."
That being said, the host is not afraid to experiment with some new ideas for the format. "...we've been trying the different things for the last few months to see what we might want to add to the rotation. And we have added some things that have - we've gotten some really good response from, like, this thing we call "Lie Witness News" where we ask people questions and, basically, we lead them into lying.... we asked people who they thought won the first lady debate during the election, and, of course, there wasn't a first lady debate, and we asked people what they think of the new iPhone and we hand them the old iPhone and then they give us their opinions on it. And we've been trying some man on the street type bits out and so those things will become regular parts of the show. But it's not like we're going to go on the air with some new character or some new member of the show "Family." It will pretty much be the same show that we've been doing."
Kimmel does not seem at all concerned about the competition he will face at the earlier hour, including long-time talk show host Jay Leno, who reportedly will move his start time up a minute earlier to get a head start out of the gate. "I think NBC has had a lot of success moving Jay Leno earlier so it makes perfect sense... I think it's an interesting strategy. I think, to me, it tells me that maybe they're a bit concerned. And I'll be curious to see how long they're able to keep that up, because I would assume they have to give a minute of commercial time away in order to do that. So, I'll be curious to see how that goes," he continues, "But, you know what? That's a trick, I would assume is designed to boost their ratings a little bit during the first month or so. And this really isn't about the first month or about the first week or about the first night, you know, it's a long-term thing. And, you know, if we do well the first week, I'm sure there will be a lot of press given to that. But what really matters is how you do in May, and that's when we'll really know where we stand, I think."
When discussing his long time idol David Letterman however, Kimmel clearly takes on a more reverent tone. "I would think that if I was David Letterman, none of this would matter to me at all. I mean, he's earned his place as a legend in broadcasting and probably the biggest comedy influence of the last 20 years on everyone who followed him, and I think that - if I was Dave, this wouldn't - I wouldn't bat an eye."
Speaking of Letterman, the recent Kennedy Center Honor recipient paid a visit to JKL when it was broadcast from Kimmel's home town of Brooklyn, New York in November. "It might be pathetic to say, but it was probably one of the most meaningful moments of my life," he gushes when speaking of the guest appearance. "I mean for everyone that's known me, since I was a kid - I mean, I can't overstate how crazy it was. I mean, this is somebody that - you know, when I was in high school, everyone knew me as the guy who watched David Letterman. I mean, it was ridiculous. And to be to be on his show was strange enough but to have him on my show was beyond anything I could've every imagined."
Beyond Letterman, I asked the host who else would make his list of comedic influences. "Howard Stern," he quickly answers, and adds, "SCTV is a show I loved. I think it's one of the great shows. It's something I watched a lot. Martin Short, I'd say Bill Murray, Steve Martin. A lot of black comedians. I loved Richard Prior, Jimmy Walker. We used to listen to Jimmy Walker's comedy album over and over again. Red Foxx was someone I loved. Jackie Gleason, Don Rickels, there are - almost everybody you could think of I'd put in that category, really."
One comedian who probably would not make the cut is Jay Leno, who Kimmel believes cheated Letterman out of his rightful place as successor to Johnny Carson as host of NBC's 'Tonight Show' "...to take something from someone that I admired, I mean, that's what did it for me, I guess. And this scheming seems to have continued. But, you know, listen, Jay's just another guy doing a T.V. show. I don't hate him or anything like that...the fact of the matter is NBC is going to have to make a decision, at some point. I mean, as much as he would like it to be the case, Jay Leno is not going to be able to stay on television forever. And, obviously, I think Jimmy Fallon is the heir apparent and he's doing a great show and so it makes sense that people would talk like this. But, you know, with that said, never count Jay out. He's a - he's like Jason in "Friday the 13th." He seems to pop up just when you think he's dead. He comes back to life. And he's got a hatchet!"

As an alternative, they offer the rich flavor of their Cappuccino, with a complex, indulgent coffee taste that seems impossible for such a nutritionally-stellar product. But delicious flavor speaks for itself, and we're sure you'll love their Cappuccino.

Their goal is to improve health and wellness with the best-tasting, most nourishing foods possible. By combining the finest all-natural ingredients, they create drinks that are nutritious and delicious. History:California Natural Products, the parent company of CalNaturale Svelte, was founded by Pat Mitchell in 1980. CNP was originally a Research and Development company; Pat and his team did much of the early development work on the natural pre-biotic inulin, including several patents. CNP also created and patented many of the original organic rice syrup formulas and rice ingredients. To this day, CNP is one of the nation's largest purchasers of organic rice, and their innovative rice ingredients are found in hundreds of leading organic and natural products sold in every natural foods store and supermarket. In the 1990's CNP built the nation's highest-quality aseptic processing plant and created the leading rice milk beverage along with many other products including the leading soy milks, chai teas, organic soups, broths, sports drinks and nutritional beverages. They also created the nation's leading hemp milk, which was awarded "product of the year" in the natural industry. These products were created for their contract customers and are marketed under the brands of those customers. In 2009, they expanded this tradition of excellence with the introduction of their own brand, CalNaturale. To date they have introduced two branded product lines; CalNaturale Svelte, the sustained energy protein drink, and CalNaturale wine, the premium wine made from organically grown grapes. Through all of the years and innovations, the constant for us has been their commitment to highest quality with no compromises. They are also dedicated to creating only the finest organic and natural products which meet nutritional needs at an excellent value, while always providing delicious taste.

Extending Cage's Legacy, Lecture in Music Theory
Rob Haskins, Professor, University of New Hampshire
Friday, March 29, 2013, 1:25pm
Bezanson Recital Hall, UMass Amherst campus
ABOUT THE LECTURE: Since the late 1980s, many scholars have wrestled with Cage's ideas with varying results. The lecture will offer a provisional assessment of Cage's achievement, including both unjustified and justified criticism of that achievement by other scholars; it will point toward productive ways in which we can engage with and creatively extend Cage's important legacy, using theater as the principal example.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Rob Haskins, Associate Professor of Music History at the University of New Hampshire, holds a D.M.A. in harpsichord and Ph.D. in musicology from the University of Rochester, Eastman School of Music. He specializes in American music in the second half of the twentieth century, especially the music of John Cage. He has presented papers on Cage in Germany, Canada, and the U.S. His most recent book is John Cage (Reaktion Books). He recorded for Mode Records and served as musical Director for Alarm Will Sound's 2012 new production of John Cage's Song Books at the Holland Festival Abrons and River to River Festival (New York).

The Evolving CML Market – which drug to give when?
One of the enduring legacies from the development of imatinib (Gleevec®/Glivec®) for the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is the long-term survival data from the IRIS (International Randomized Interferon versus STI571) trial that enrolled 1106 patients between June 2000 and January 2001.
Hagop Kantarjian, M.D. Professor and Chair, Department of Leukemia at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston told the 2012 Chemotherapy Foundation Symposium (also known as the Greenspan Meeting in honor of the late Ezra Greenspan, M.D.) that:
the 10 year survival rate is 85% in patients treated with imatinib, and that this rises to 90% if you exclude deaths not related to CML.
No second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (e.g. nilotinib, dasatinib, bosutinib) has yet to show a superior long-term survival benefit to imatinib. Dr Kantarjian noted that "whatever comes as a new treatment in the frontline therapy has to be able to beat that time, of a 10 year survival, if there is a big cost difference."
The IRIS trial survival data for imatinib remains the gold standard by which other tyrosine kinase inhibitors will be judged.
In other words, notwithstanding the myriad of published CML data that shows second generation TKIs offer a deeper or more rapid molecular response, there's still no data that shows you will actually live longer if you take any of them instead of imatinib.
That's not to say there are no benefits to the newer second generation TKIs.

Thoughts On Thumbsucking
Hi Mummies,
I am a little bit worried about my daughter's thumb-sucking habit. She's 20 months old now, and I wanted her to get rid of sucking her thumb. She might catch a lot of germs and get sick. Do you have any thoughts or ideas on how I can help my daughter stop thumbsucking? And is it really true that her teeth can be deformed or protrude because of thumbsucking?
All the best,

Hello Kriziela,
Thumb sucking can cause teeth to grow crooked because of the pressure the thumb puts on the teeth. Teeth will move under pressure. Think about how braces work. If you have crooked teeth that need to be straightened, the dentist will put pressure on the teeth (tightening braces at each visit) in order to get the teeth to move, ever so slowly, into the correct position.
With thumb sucking, you are doing the same thing. Putting pressure on the teeth, and it can cause the teeth to move. Of course the amount of tooth movement will depend upon how much pressure is being applied to them throughout the day/night. If she just sucks her thumb for a short time, every so often, it may not affect the tooth alignment at all. If she loves to suck her thumb and does it often, then the teeth will tend to move more.
So how can you help your daughter to stop sucking her thumb? This can be a challenge, because usually children suck their thumb for security... it soothes them, and is something they use to help pacify them.
So the first thing I would do is make life very routine and secure for your little one. If you've been away on vacation and you're returning home, you'll need to recognize that a 20 month old doesn't have good long term memory yet, and she may have to readjust to her "new" environment all over again.
When I worked as the Office Manager for a preschool, we enrolled children who were 2 1/2 years old. There were some parents who only wanted their children in preschool 2 days a week, and our 2 day a week program was on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
So here's a child who has been used to being home, with mum, for 2 1/2 years, and all of a sudden mum thinks that preschool is going to be a fun experience for their child. She drops her child off the first day, only to learn, upon pick-up, that her child cried the entire time. NOT the "fun" she thought her child would have.
But though preschool can be a fun place to be, the child was placed into a brand new situation. The room is new, the caregivers are new, the other children are new and the activities are new. The only thing familiar to this child is the clothing she has on her body and possibly the blanket and lunch box she brought with her.
So I quickly learned that a young child coming into a 2 day a week program would benefit from starting out coming 5 days a week, for just the morning, leaving right after lunch. The reason for this is because a child who comes on Tuesday is going to take a long time to adjust, but might actually be "okay" by the time they are picked up - having cried most of the time.
When the child is dropped off on Thursday, they will cry, but for a shorter time. Now, the child is picked up on Thursday and is home Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and when she's brought back to preschool on Tuesday, it's like starting all over again.
So often we started these "two day a week" children by having them come every morning for one or two weeks, to get them adjusted as quickly (and painlessly) as possible. We even encouraged mum to visit with the child as often as they wanted, before the child's actual start date.
The point I want to make is that security is super important for little ones and they don't remember well from one week to the next. I once knew of a family that was having marriage problems. They had 4 children, the youngest of which was 9 months old. The mother moved out of the home for a few weeks, and when she returned the 9 month old viewed her as a "stranger" because they forget so quickly.
If daddy is away for a period of time, you may find that Ryden clings to you when daddy is in the room and this is simply because she is insecure because he hasn't been around enough. When daddy leaves to go to work, she may think he will come back in a few minutes, as if he has gone to pick up milk at the store. If he doesn't come right back, she may start to wonder if he is ever going to come back. Now, though her little mind may not think in the same "conversations" like ours does, her body will tell her whether this is a comfortable, secure situation for her, or whether she's becoming anxious and unsettled and it's not comfortable for her.
The number one biggest help you can give your daughter to help her stop sucking her thumb is to make her little life as secure as possible. This means routine.
If you've returned from a vacation, spend a lot of time at home so she becomes familiar with that space again.
If you do go out, be sure you are her only caregiver. If she has been away from daddy, and he wants to spend time with her, make sure you are present to give her added security and comfort while she "warms up" to daddy again.
When you are home with Ryden, make sure you are giving her a lot of one on one attention. Read books to her while she sits on your lap. Eat meals with her - make it a special time for the two of you. Make play dough and work the play dough together. Do coloring with her. Do crafts with her. Sing with her. Play with her. The goal is making her feel totally secure and this may just take a week, but it will be a week of a lot of focus on her.
If Ryden is still taking a bottle, this focused week may be the perfect week to wean her off the bottle, and if you are still giving her formula (you posted before that she still drinks formula) then this week may be a good week for tansitioning her off of formula and onto whole milk (can be cow milk or goat milk or almond milk, etc.). Raw milk from a reliable source is best because it has lots of digestive enzymes which have not been killed off by the pasteurization process.
My guess is that as you bring routine into Ryden's life, you will see her suck her thumb less and less. If you're holding her on your lap, and she puts her thumb in her mouth, you can give her something to hold (like having her hold a book between her two hands while you read to her) or you can redirect her to "busy her hands" rather than sucking her thumb.
I also think that stopping the bottle and offering a cup or even a sippy cup will be a benefit to her (and her teeth) as well.
If you want to take this week to just give her lots of focused attention and establish a routine, and then you want to work on removing the bottle next week you could do that too. It's pretty much a matter of how much attention you can give her this week. If you can fully focus on her, you may be able to do both in a week. If your attention is divided and you can't spend as much time with her as she needs, then you may have to work on routine this week and weaning next week.
There's a page on this website that lists some parenting courses, and one that caught my eye is this one:

Kate provided you with an awesome, thorough explanation and some tips for breaking the habit. I would like to add something from a discussion I recently had with my chiropractor. She says some of her baby patients suck their thumb as a way of self-adjusting. They are pressing on bone in the top of the mouth that may be out of place, especially following a difficult or traumatic birth. You may want to consider taking her to a pediatric chiropractor for evaluation and adjustment.

I've seen Cranio-Sacral adjustments done by putting pressure on the hard palate and/or soft palate of baby's mouth (it looks like the baby is sucking on the practitioner's finger) so I understand what mom2many is saying about babies "self adjusting".
I would definitely consider taking Ryden to a Chiropractor or an Osteopath or other type of practitioner who does structural manipulation to be sure that everything is in alignment.
If you just want to discourage thumb sucking, you could try putting mittens on Ryden's hands. She may pull them off, but if she leaves them on they may be a reminder not to suck. Not sure how well that will work.

She had a traumatic birth indeed, right I will have to take her to a chiropractor, just to make sure everything's okay.
I noticed there's lesser thumbsucking now that she's back on her routine. She only sucks her thumb when she's about to sleep. The "attention" really worked. I already tried mittens before and it didn't work, I even tried wrapping her whole hand tightly with cloth but not too tight that it will affect circulation. She managed to take it off using her teeth
She already know how to drink from a sippy cup hurray! I'm happy that she learned it easily. I'm excited when she's totally off her bottle. It makes me feel that she's growing up too fast. LOL.
Thank you so much for the great insights.
All the best,

You're addressing the root of the problem by giving her extra attention during her transition back to home and her normal routine, and that's the best thing to do.
Sometimes it's hard to see your child wean from a bottle because it can make you feel like you don't have your "baby" anymore. They do grow up quickly. But if you completely take the bottle away from her it will be a good thing. Let her have her sippy cup when she has her meals, and at 19 months, she should only need her milk then. Whether you're giving her a snack or a meal, make it a rule to only let her have her cup/drink at the table or in her high chair.
This will help her not to be attached to the bottle (it's much harder to wean a child off the bottle as they get older) and it will also help her not to get too many calories from her milk and not enough from other, healthy foods. You don't want her developing a preference for milk over raw or freshly steamed vegetables and fruits. The higher calorie foods can add weight that's not needed to your child. Whole milk is fine. Avocado is fine, but be sure she's getting a variety of other fruits and vegetables too.
Warm Regards,

Supreme Court Asked for Emergency Order on Texas Abortion Law
The Planned Parenthood Foundation of America today asked the U.S. Supreme Court for an emergency order blocking the enforcement of a state law that has forced one third of the abortion clinics in the state to stop performing the procedure, 1200 WOAI news reports.
In a filing today, the group says 'more than a third' of the clinics in Texas have stopped performing abortions after the law requiring all abortion clinics to have a physician on duty who has admitting privileges at a hospital within thirty miles was allowed by an appeals court to take effect on Friday.
Pro choice activist Jody Jacobsen says supporters of the law say it is written to protect women, but the true reason behind the law is different...and unconstitutional.
"To eliminate early and safe abortions by making women go through so many hoops that they can't possible access it," she said. "This is to make it so women primarily in rural areas and outside large cities have trouble gaining access."
The three judge appeals court panel already said that a so called 'En Banc' hearing of the full court would take place in January, and a trial court in Austin still has to consider the merits of the law at trial.
The filing was addressed to Justice Antonin Scalia, who oversees emergency matters from Texas. Scalia is the most socially conservative justice on the court.

Hello again!
I'm back with my yearly cake run, lol. October, November and December are big cake months for me due to consecutive birthdays in our family. This year my Husband requested a specific cake design, which he never does, so without further ado, here is my attempt at recreating the original Nintendo system, the NES of the 80's.
It was so difficult! I've never made a square cake like this with fondant before, or a carved cake/funny shape, of all the cakes I've done which is pretty funny.
I used Rose's "Rose Factor" to make this with the Yellow Cake Base from TCB. It is filled with a strawberry puree inspired by Rose's conserve recipe (I had to alter it due to not having two days to wait for gelling) then a typical confectioner's buttercream and a simple syrup with rum. It is all from scratch, but from other authors. I know, boooh! I don't have the bravery yet to attempt Rose's frostings! I came *this* close to trying the mousseline or neoclassic for under the fondant but after reading about how finicky they are temp wise, and being that I am after all in a desert with very high humidity and a very warm kitchen due to cooking constantly (mixed with freezing bursts of air conditioning) I decided to go the sure fire way I knew. This cake design had me all freaked out due to the weird way the bottom is beveled. My fondant acted so weird today due to the intense humidity too, so I am actually glad I went the safe way. Someday!
Hubby was very happy with it! Thanks for reading!

First what did you expect to see from the machine in the nmap results?
Second, you should read up on arp spoofing as the issue you're experiencing is not surprising.
I have runned from ideas. When I try to scan machine that use Edimax usb wlan card I get:
Starting Nmap 5.35DC1 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-01-31 20:08 CET
Nmap scan report for 192.168.3.2
Host is up (0.0017s latency).
All 1000 scanned ports on 192.168.3.2 are filtered
MAC Address: 00:1F:1F:69:X:X (Edimax Technology Co.)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 21.68 seconds
I can't arp poison/spoof using linux / windows. When I'm trying I don't see any packets!. I didn't forget about:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
and other commands.
When I'm trying to poison 'victim' is 'getting disconnected', nothing more.
Please tell me what I do wrong. All the techniques works fine against other machines.
Thanks in advance
//Victim is my 2nd notebook (was VM, now local WinXP installed) + firewall
First what did you expect to see from the machine in the nmap results?
Second, you should read up on arp spoofing as the issue you're experiencing is not surprising.
I'm a compulsive post editor, you might wanna wait until my post has been online for 5-10 mins before quoting it as it will likely change.
I know I seem harsh in some of my replies. SORRY! But if you're doing something illegal or posting something that seems to be obvious BS I'm going to call you on it.
read up on other scans and scripts on nmap, if you have time to run the udp scans as well and scan all ports instead of just the top 1000. Also can you provide more info about the victim? it shouldn't really matter that its edimax. um you do own the victim right?
Wielder of the spoon of doom
Summercon, Toorcon, Defcon, Bsides, Derbycon, Shmoocon oh my
Come hang out with hackers on twitter @gunrunr556
Of course!
Victim was VM, now is firewalled (system firewall) Windows XP (also tryed Win7). The problem is last time all was working, when I was using on victim normal wlan adapter, when changed to Edimax usb wlan, all gone wrong.
Tell me what I'm doing wrong, thanks.

Open letter to the Republican and Democratic Committees for the election of our next President.
Re: Symbols of September 11th
The Republican and Democratic parties and their candidates are now beginning what we hope will be an intense debate in the coming months. As they do, Families of September 11 asks they remember this. For the tens of thousands of us who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001 the wounds inflicted that day are still raw. For us the visual images of the planes, the smoke and wreckage at Shanksville and the Pentagon, the collapsing World Trade Center buildings, the rubble and, later, void at Ground Zero trigger painful mind-videos of what our loved ones suffered as they were symbols of our democracy.
They were (and we are) a microcosm of the diverse ingredients of the great melting pot that is America and stand, not for any one political persuasion or view – in favor of or against any one issue or candidate - but for the composite, the whole, that makes this country great. It is that symbol of unity in diversity that was attacked on September 11th.
The use by either party or any candidate of symbols associated with the mass murders of our loved ones, in an effort to influence the outcome of this year's Presidential election, would inevitably misrepresent many of our loved ones and us. For every position advanced by one party or candidate to gain political advantage over another, our loved ones - were they alive - would likely agree and disagree in equal numbers. The same is likely true of us. Any claim to the contrary would be false arrogance.
The images of death on September 11th should not become the fabric of a rope, strained and torn in a tug of war for the presidency. Were this to occur, what message would be sent to us and the rest of the world - that our loved ones are pawns moved by powerful players in a game where their deaths can be manipulated in the hope of some strategic advantage? We believe they stood for much more than that on September 11th.
They died as means to the ends of terrorists, whose views are the very antithesis of what America stands for. We urge both political parties: Do not reuse the deaths of our loved ones as domestic political vassals. They (we) deserve more. To suggest that their deaths and our suffering better symbolize one party than another, one issue than another, one candidate than another is, not only false, it diminishes us, them and what they stood for on September 11th.
We ask both parties to use constraint. Debate the issues, including those related to the deaths of our loved ones. This we want. But do not punish us in the process nor lay false claim to our allegiance or that of our loved ones. What was attacked on September 11th is too large-scale, too precious to suffer at the hands of partisan political struggle in this country. After all, that is what happened on the world stage that awful day. Please, do not repeat it here in the coming months by gratuitous use of the images and symbols associated with the deaths of our loved ones.
Families of September 11

Last season began with Cedric Benson looking like a solid fantasy football sleeper as the starting running back of the Packers. This season, the Packers and fantasy owners could be in a similar position with another running back. Except this player is six years younger and 4 inches shorter. That would be DuJuan Harris , a second-year undrafted free agent who got his shot during the final month of the regular season and became the Packers' leading rusher, averaging more than four yards per carry and scoring four touchdowns in six games, including playoffs.
The Packers signed Harris to their practice squad in October, something that head coach Mike McCarthy wishes would have happened sooner.
"I wish we'd have had DuJuan earlier," McCarthy said via Jason Wilde of ESPN Wisconsin. "... Once he got ready, I felt great about the way DuJuan finished the season."
Fantasy Analysis:
However, at just 5 feet 7 inches tall, Harris will inevitably be involved in some kind of committee. Heck, the Packers might even bring Benson back to go with James Starks and Alex Green . It's a murky situation right now, but Harris looks to be the leader. He also showed pass-catching prowess along with good quickness. He'll be worth monitoring over the course of the summer and into training camp. He could be a valuable mid-round fantasy draft pick.

Prince To Pauper: In Chap. 11, Prince Tennis To Join Marilyn Monroe, TapouT Group
By Barry Janoff
May 1, 2012: Prince Sports and its U.S. affiliates said they have filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.
Prince has also filed with the bankruptcy court its proposed plan of reorganization plan and related disclosure statement and "expects to move expeditiously towards confirmation of its plan."
Executives said the company would be taken over by Authentic Brands Group, which recently obtained the company's debt. New York/Los Angeles-based ABG is a brand development and licensing firm whose management investments also include MMA company TapouT and the estates for Marilyn Monroe and Bob Marley.
Ironically, a commercial running on the Prince Web site under the umbrella tag, "Who's Next," begins with the words, "Greatness is fleeting. There is always the next one."
Current endorsers include the world's No. 1 ranked doubles players Mike and Bob Bryan; top-ranked men's singles players David Ferrer (No. 8), Gael Monfils (No. 14) and John Isner (No. 19); and top-ranked women's players Vera Zvonareva (No. 7), Marion Bartoli (No. 9) and Daniela Hantuchova (No. 24). Products have been used by Maria Sharapova, Martina Navratilova and other top-ranked players.
The company was founded in 1970 by Robert McClure, who named it after his residence of Princeton, NJ. It has had numerous owners, including since 2003 Benetton Group, Lincolnshire Management and most recently Nautic Partners.
"We anticipate to emerge from this period as a more efficient, performance racquet sports brand with a more competitive model in the market."
Prince said it would will utilize the Chapter 11 process to "develop a more competitive business model." Prince also said it has "secured a commitment of debtor-in-possession financing that will give its vendors and suppliers confidence in its position to operate in Chapter 11. This proposed restructuring would relieve the Company from a debt burden in excess of $60 million of secured indebtedness."
"We anticipate to emerge from this period as a more efficient, performance racquet sports brand with a more competitive model in the market, while eliminating the economic constraints that have prohibited the brand from achieving its potential," Gordon Boggis, president and CEO of Prince Sports, Inc., said in a statement. "The Board of Directors, the senior management team and I would like to underscore our appreciation for the hard work and loyalty of our employees. Prince continues to be a world leader in bringing to market meaningful, visible and proven product innovation within the racquet sports market and our employees have contributed greatly to that."
Prince products include racquets, footwear, tennis balls, strings, bag and accessories. Prince Sports' portfolio of brands includes Prince (tennis, squash and badminton), Ektelon (racquetball) and Viking (platform/paddle tennis). Prince is distributed in more than 100 countries.
"Prince is, and will continue to be, a great, global brand in the racquet sports business. This filing does not change that," said Boggis. "We have a long history, and are planning for an exciting future, focused on game-changing, product innovation, engineered to take players' games to the next level. Securing this protection will help us to continue to focus on that vision."

Box Score (PDF)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team got a glimpse at the future of the Ivy League on Friday night at Harvard, and quite frankly it had to be disheartening.
Harvard's Siyani Chambers, a freshman, controlled the game. Wesley Saunders, a sophomore, was dominant in the first half. In the second half another Crimson sophomore, Kenyatta Smith, did it at both ends as he finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and an astounding 10 blocked shots. For good measure, another sophomore -- Steve Moundou-Missi -- had 11 points and seven rebounds off the bench.
The end result was a 73-54 Harvard win that was every bit the blowout it looked.
As a team, the Crimson (14-7, 6-1 Ivy League) blocked 15 shots and it seemed like a lot more than that. They were also efficient on offense, shooting 52.3 percent from the field, while Penn was just 22 of 63.
Penn (5-18, 2-4) was down just 12-11 after eight minutes, but then Harvard scored seven in a row and never looked back. The Crimson lead reached double digits a few times before halftime, and it was a 37-27 game at the break.
Penn came out of the half and ran a nice play to get Darien Nelson-Henry a lefty layup. However, Harvard scored nine of the next 11 points to make the score 46-31, and Penn got no closer than 12 points after that. The Crimson's lead swelled to 20 with nearly 13 minutes still remaining and hung around the number the rest of the night.
Nelson-Henry scored 14 points to lead Penn, while Cameron Gunter nearly pulled out a double-double with 10 points and nine rebounds.
Penn returns to action tomorrow night at Dartmouth; the Big Green will also be licking its wounds, having lost 73-55 to Princeton on Friday night.
Game Notes: For the first time in six games, Penn trailed at the half ... Penn's bench players had more points (33) than the starters (21), the fifth time that has happened this season but the first time since Jan. 5 at La Salle ... Harvard set an opponent high in the Jerome Allen coaching era at Penn with 15 blocked shots ... Harvard set an opponent season low in field goal attempts, with 44 ... Junior Cameron Gunter scored 10 points for his first double-figure scoring game since he had all 12 of his freshman-year points at Columbia on Feb. 12, 2011 ... Gunter also had a career-high nine rebounds, putting him one board shy of his first collegiate double-double; Gunter entered the game with 10 points and 10 rebounds for the season ... Freshman Darien Nelson-HFreshman Darien Nelson-Henry led Penn with 14 points, his eighth double-figure scoring game in his last nine outings (12.2 ppg in that span); in the lone single-digit game, he was injured and played just 18 minutes ... Nelson-Henry led Penn in scoring for the second time this season, the other coming against Saint Joseph's ... Junior Miles Cartwright scored eight points; he now has 974 for his career and needs 26 to become the 38th player in Penn history to reach the 1,000-point mark ... Cartwright missed the first of his two free throws on the night, ending a streak of 26 makes in a row dating back to Temple on Jan. 23 ... Freshman Tony Hicks had seven points, ending a modest three-game streak of double-figure scoring ... Hicks went 3-of-3 at the foul line; he has hit 11 in a row heading into the Dartmouth game ... Hicks is now tied for second on the team in points scored with junior Fran Dougherty, both with 166; Dougherty has missed 11 of Penn's 23 games this season ... Sophomore Camryn Crocker had three assists and one turnover; in the last 11 games, his assist/turnover ratio is 2.77 (36/13) ... Sophomore Greg Louis had five rebounds, giving him 17 in the last three games.

'Fresh Prince' theme song causes school lockdown
The theme song to the television show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" is being blamed for putting schools in Beaver County, Pennsylvania on lock down.
According to timesonline.com, there was a heightened alert for all schools in the county for 20 minutes after a line from the theme song was taken as a threat.
The strange misunderstanding began when a local eye doctor's office called a phone belonging to 19-year old Travis Clawson to remind him of an upcoming appointment. The Ambridge High School student did not answer and the call went to his voice mail. The voice mail greeting features Clawson mimicking the line from the "Fresh Prince" theme that says "and all shooting some B-ball outside of the school."
Apparently, the receptionist misunderstood the message for a threat about "shooting people outside of the school." She then called the police, who put local schools on lockdown and searched for Clawson. They eventually found him in the high school guidance cousellor's office and took him into custody.
James Mann of the Ambridge Police department says Clawson told them he only meant to imitate Will Smith's song from the "Fresh Prince." Mann also believes that "everyone acted appropriately" to keep the local children safe.

Thursday, July 16 2009 - Truth Movement News
AE911Truth.org Events in Washington, DC this week
Architect to Speak in DC on 9/11 World Trade Center Destruction
Berkeley, CA -- Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17, the nonprofit group DC911Truth will bring San Francisco Bay Area architect Richard Gage, AIA, to Washington, DC, for a series of public events and meetings with congressional representatives. Gage represents more than 700 architects and engineers who cite evidence for explosive demolition as the cause of the destruction of the three World Trade Center towers on 9/11. After careful examination of forensic data inconsistent with the official account, these professionals are calling for a new, independent investigation into the 9/11 attacks.
A practicing architect for more than 20 years, Gage is the founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth). Comprised of more than 4,500 total petition signers, members, architects, engineers, physicists and scientists, the organization contends at its website, AE911Truth.org, that the official FEMA and NIST reports fail to explain the towers' destruction. The group's evidence includes the admitted free-fall of Building 7, the constancy of the acceleration of the North Tower, and nanothermite residues in the WTC dust. Events
Key Evidence -- WTC 7
AE911Truth points in particular to the destruction of the third skyscraper, 47-story World Trade Center 7. This building was not hit by an aircraft, yet collapsed straight down in less than seven seconds for more than 100 feet fell of free-fall -- showing no resistance at all. Experts note that this undisputed fact alone rules out the official collapse explanation, which is based only on fire. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0GHVEKrhng)
Free-fall means that virtually all of the supporting heavy steel structure was shattered and moved out of the way by something other than the weight of the upper section. If the upper section had been crushing weakened, overloaded steel, the collapse would have proceeded at a slower pace than free-fall. This is high school physics.
AE911Truth bases its conclusions solely on forensic evidence and does not engage in conspiracy theories or in assigning blame for the destruction. The group's conclusions are shared by hundreds of scientists, senior-level military, intelligence and government officials; pilots and aviation professionals; scholars and university professors; 9/11 survivors and family members; and media professionals around the world.
Explosive Residues Found in World Trade Center Dust
A Danish chemist, AE911Truth petition signer Dr. Niels Harrit, was interviewed by Danish network television on April 6. The interview, now viewed nearly 250,000 times, discusses the advanced nanoengineered explosive residues found in the World Trade Center dust by an international team. These residues point to the use of nanothermite in the Towers' destruction. Nanothermite was developed in the 1990s by US national laboratories and defense contractors. These troubling new findings are shown in Gage's presentation. For the original peer-reviewed article, see http://www.benthamopen.org/pages/content.php?TOCPJ/2009/00000002/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM.
Not a Fringe Phenomenon
The 9/11 Truth movement, which Time magazine called "a mainstream political reality," is gaining rapid momentum. As AE911Truth's own influence grows, Gage has embarked on numerous speaking tours covering 19 U.S. states and 10 countries. The organization recently staffed a booth at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Convention in San Francisco, where another 50 architects and engineers signed the petition. Fox TV's KMPH (Fresno) interview of Gage has attained over 200,000 YouTube views in two weeks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO2yT0uBQbM

Legislative requests highlight USC's innovation
By Liz McCarthy, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-2848
Flexibility, affordability and accessibility. That's the message university President Harris Pastides delivered to S.C. lawmakers Wednesday as he laid out USC's legislative priorities.
"Business as usual in higher education will not work any longer in South Carolina or in the United States," Pastides said as he described USC's two innovative programs launching this year -- South Carolina Palmetto College and On Your Time Graduation.
Thanking the General Assembly for its past support of S.C. Palmetto College, Pastides asked lawmakers to consider an additional $2.1 million in permanent funding for S.C. Palmetto College to match the $2.9 million the online degree program currently receives.
"South Carolina Palmetto College may be the most significant investment the General Assembly has made to increase flexibility, affordability and accessibility to four-year baccalaureate degrees in high demand, employable fields," the president said.
S.C. Palmetto College will offer seven majors in the fall, including business, criminal justice and education, allowing place-bound South Carolinians a way to earn a degree without leaving jobs, families or communities.
Pastides presented his vision for the university's On Your Time Graduation initiative that will allow students to complete degrees quicker and reduce overall tuition costs and loan debt by creating a full 12-week summer session with a variety of course options.
On Your Time Graduation redefines the traditional academic calendar, providing flexibility and maximizing assets.
"What this program represents is not business as usual," Pastides said. "It's a sea change, a culture change at USC."
The university is seeking $5 million in permanent funding for this unique program that will serve as a model for other institutions across the country.
To support this effort, USC will also ask lawmakers to consider changing how lottery scholarships are used so that students could apply financial aid to the new semester.
USC Beaufort Chancellor Jane Upshaw also spoke with legislators about equitable parity funding, urging lawmakers to fix funding inequities among state universities. Currently USCB's $1.4 million in state funding is the lowest per-student funding among the state's teaching-focused public universities.
Upshaw asked lawmakers to support the university's request for $8.3 million for the USC system to match the statewide average.
"These institutions are critical to building a highly skilled, professional workforce for the future of our state," Upshaw told the Island Packet after the meeting. "We are simply asking for a level playing field."
The remaining $22.25 million in the request would go to deferred maintenance on all eight campuses, including $15 million that would add much needed classroom space at Hamilton College.
Pastides' presentation comes a week before Carolina Day at the State House Feb. 6 when alumni, faculty and staff from the eight campuses visit state lawmakers in support of the university and voice their support for these ground-breaking initiatives and critical needs.

Hi, can anyone tell me if its possible to enable crossfire with a asus M4A88TD-M EVO with an onboard radeon 4250 hd and a pci saphire radeon 6670 HD? all the hardware is crossfire compatible and im using fglrx 11.8. Thank you.
No announcement yet.
how to enable crossfire on a asus 88TD-M w/onboard 4250 hd & PCI 6670 HD
new posts
I would be surprised if it worked, since the two GPUs are so far apart in capabilities.
IIRC one GPU has 480 ALUs while the other has 40, so the overhead of splitting work between the GPUs would outweigh the benefit you get from the second GPU. Splitting work between GPUs works best when the GPUs are identical, and you can sometimes get a speedup between 2:1 and 3:1, but not 12:1.
Thanks for the reply
Thanks for your reply brigdman. I have tried to crossfire the two chips but with it hasnt worked... both chips are activated but it seems to use only the main gpu 6670. i was wondering if its possible to use both in an independent way, to use with blender cycles or slg using openCL. Is it possible to distribute the workload between them to accelerate the rendering calculation of this two rendering programs, without the two chips being directly associated?Thank you.
It is possible to use CrossFire (AMD now prefers to call it "Dual Graphics") the 6670 with Llano integrated graphics (A4, A6 and A8 series) on socket FM1 mobos. The 4250 IGP can only be crossfired with a 2400 or 3450 afaik.
Even if CrossFire is not supported, the two GPUs can still be used together with SurroundView.
Hi chithahn, thanks for your reply. As you mention on your answer thats how i actually manage to keep the to cards active, with surround view. but im only using one display. So 4250 is not actually in use. Somehow the ACCCC dosent identify the card properly it detects as active but dosent name it correctly, but under the cmd line aticonfig -lsc the card is identified correctly.
My question is :" is it possible to activate both cards to work on parallel (to distribute the workload) on rendering processes under blender/cycles|SLG , using openCL ?"(slg allows you to use multi openCL plataforms)(multi openCL o/i). At the moment the card is not used at all ...neither by slg (wich states that only cpu and turks is in use), glmark only uses 6670HD. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for both your answers. nevertheless i have one last question... since my desktop becomes laggy after running rendering on slg gpu rendering v2(and cycles gpu rendering), would it be possible for the 4250HD to draw the desktop and the 6670HD used only for the rendering?Thanks for your patience.

Brevard, N.C. - Anna Schlobohm reached 1,000 career points early in the first half and Lacey Singletary set a Brevard single game record with nine blocked shots on Saturday afternoon, but Wingate battled back behind Nikki Burton and Simone Rutledge as the Tornados fell to the Bulldogs in Boshamer Gymnasium, 65-61.
Schlobohm hit her first three shots of the game to reach 1,000 career points, becoming only the fifth Tornados women's basketball player in modern program history to achieve this mark, draining a jump shot from the top of the key at the 9:57 mark in the first half to join Samantha Winn, Holly Krogman, Kris May-Richardson and Ayana McWilliams in the BC 1,000 point club. Singletary recorded six blocked shots in the second half to go with three redirections in the first half to break Amanda Whitaker's single game record of seven, set back on January 9, 2010, against Mars Hill.
Schlobohm led all scorers with 23 points, going 8-for-15 from the floor as the Tornados (5-11, 0-8 SAC) shot 36.1 percent from the floor in the contest. Micheala Watkins added 12 points and five assists, while Lindsay Brendle had 11 points and eight rebounds in the loss.
Burton paced the Bulldogs (11-5, 5-3 SAC) with 21 points off the bench as Wingate outscored Brevard 43-25 between the reserves. Rutledge added 10 points and 12 rebounds, while Tish Logan added nine boards as the Bulldogs held the 52-35 rebounding edge in the contest.
Wingate opened the contest scoring the first six points on three layups before a Brendle lay-in put Brevard on the scoreboard at the 16:32 mark. The Bulldogs continued to press their advantage early, going up by double-digits with 11:34 remaining in the half on a pair of Sarah Wollett free throws, but Brevard battled back, cutting the lead to three points on a Singletary jumper in the paint to put the score at 18-15.
The Bulldogs carried the lead into the halftime break, going up by as many as 15 points on a Burton layup at the 1:20 mark, putting the score at 38-23, but Schlobohm scored the final four points of the half on a jumper and a pair of free throws as Wingate held the 38-27 halftime lead.
Wingate continued to hold the lead throughout the second half, remaining up by 10 points at 60-50 with 1:43 remaining in the game on a jumper in the paint by Janitsha Williams, but Brevard responded with one final run in the game.
A three-point play by Watkins sparked an 11-3 run as the Tornados cut the score down to two at 63-61 following an Asheley Watkins three-pointer from the top of the key with nine seconds remaining. However, the Bulldogs closed the game from the free throw line as Burton drained a pair with five ticks on the clock and Micheala Watkins' three-pointer bounced out as the Bulldogs held on for the 65-61 victory.
Brevard returns to the road as they close out their first go-round in the South Atlantic Conference as they travel to Newberry, S.C. to take on Newberry College on Wednesday, January 25th. Tipoff between the Tornados and the Wolves in Eleazer Arena is set for 6 p.m.

GE formally announces Fort Edward plant is closing
Bad news in Ft. Edward as General Electric makes its formal announcement that it will close its capacitor plant sometime after next September and transfer the work to a plant in Clearwater, Florida idling about 200 employees.
Earlier this week, Local 332 president Scott Gates said they could not come to an agreement to save jobs and said at that time, GE was not negotiating in good faith.
Local 332 said it offered to cut jobs by 10% and modernize equipment in Ft. Edward.
GE says however that proposal fell well short of the savings that would be realized by a move to Florida.
Here's the formal announcement from General Electric:
FT. EDWARD, NY – November 21, 2013 -- GE Energy Management announced today its decision to close its Fort Edward, New York, manufacturing facility.
GE Energy Management informed its employees today of its decision to close the Fort Edward facility and move manufacturing operations to an existing manufacturing site in Clearwater, Florida where the company will create a new manufacturing Center of Excellence. The closure will occur no sooner than September 2014.
The decision was made after completing the 60-day decision bargaining period and carefully considering the union's proposal. Throughout the bargaining process we answered the union leadership's questions and described Ft. Edward's difficult competitive situation. The proposal submitted by the union fell well short of the savings and efficiencies that would be generated by the proposed move to Clearwater – savings that are critical to the future of the business.
The Fort Edward site has been losing money for several years and it has been difficult to win orders in an extremely challenging marketplace. To be competitive, GE Energy Management must reduce its costs.
This was a difficult decision and we fully understand the impact it has on our employees, their families and the community. The decision is not a reflection on the diligent efforts of our Fort Edward employees, who have worked with us to make the business more competitive. Regrettably, those efforts have not delivered the cost reductions needed to position the business for the future.
We thank our employees for these efforts and will do our best to help them through this transition, including exploring other job opportunities within GE and providing comprehensive benefits.
We also thank local, state and federal officials and community leaders for their concern and willingness to engage during these discussions.
GE will continue its environmental remediation work on the plant site and will meet its environmental commitments to New York State.
GE remains committed to the Capital Region where we have more than 7,000 employees. In the last several years, GE has created more than 1,600 new jobs, invested nearly half a billion dollars, and hired more than 450 manufacturing employees locally.
