Composite PVC Cards Description
Made of 60% PVC and 40% PET, composite PVC PET cards are more durable than standard PVC cards, making them ideal for use when cards will be frequently handled or used in harsh environments. Composite cards are also recommended for use in laminating and retransfer printers because they are more resistant to heat than standard PVC cards, as standard PVC cards may warp from the intense heat used in both of these processes. Composite PVC-PET cards are ideal for use in both direct-to-card and retransfer printers.
Composite cards are graphic quality and are the standard, most commonly used plastic card size, measuring 3.375'' x 2.125'' (the size of a credit card) and 30 mil thick. CR80 30 mil composite cards.

WOW---what a trip!
Guess the boys won't look at things the same again, huh?
Thanks for what all you do and for the great report.
Job well done, Shane! Thank you for posting. You have two very nice looking sons! I'm sure they are looking forward to the next adventure.
I am a little confused by post #5 by Cabal. ???
Your sons got more of an education in a few days than many will get in a lifetime.
DH is jealous.
Told him I would have left the boys in Beaumont.
DH said they aren't boys, they're men.

I just love retrosexual men...what this country needs more of !!!
WOW! That was breathtaking! What an awesome, brave, caring family! Thank you for what you did and for sharing with us. Get some sleep now.
You've obviously taught your sons well! We're proud to "know" you, Shane!!! Thanks for sharing your mission with us.
Thanks for filling in a little bit more of the big picture for us. First hand accounts are always edifying. Good job.

Thanks for the well written and interesting story. Good pix, too.

you really are awesome bro! i'm proud to know you.
The only rights we have are the ones we're willing to fight for.
Thanks Shane,
Incredible story and pictures! Glad you and your two fine sons got in and out of there safely!
Thank You, Shane !
Congratulations and thanks for a mission well done. I know you are very proud of the two fine boys you raised.
I love my country but as an American I am ashamed and angry but not surprised at the animalisic behavior of some of the citizens of NO. The guardsman said it well that he never expected to have to carry weapons to a rescue mission. God help us all.
It does my heart good to know if the disaster ever comes to my neighborhood there are people like you and yours sons that are willing to take the risks to bring in the goods. God bless you.
wow. what more can be said? we're proud of you Shane, and you must be really proud of your boys. what a story to tell the grandkids some day. thanks for sharing it with us. an account like that including you, your boys and all the LEOs and fire fighters gives me hope that we stand a chance.
Shane you are the real deal!
Any chance of posting up some vid clips?

As a father, I can only envy the relationship that you have now with your boys (perhaps you've always had it, because you obviously trusted them, and they trusted you, or you wouldn't have had them go along). Now, of course, you are bonded together as only soldiers who have survived combat are bonded together.
Such is a precious relationship, all too rare in today's society, one that harkens back to life on the plains or in the mountains of the old West. Fighting mauraders together built special relationships of respect, trust and love. You have given them a rare lesson in civics - there is a price to pay for civilization and the rule of law. The price is to risk your life in its pursuit. It is a lesson that will serve our Republic well!
You have been blessed by God, Shane. Doubley so because all of you survived the experience.
With great respect for your risk taking spirit,

That was gutsy of you!
Thank God you did it!
I'm still looking for our friend and his family! They lived on St. Maurice ave in New Orleans. The damn satelite photos show that street and his house were flooded... He was the Best man in our wedding....
I've checked a bazillion survivor lists....and haven't found any of them....
I pray he got help from someone like you!
Your report certainly clarified some things for me.
Fantastic report.......right up there with Geraldo!
Honored to be member of the same group as a you and your sons. Thank you for sharing, it is important, even vital for others to hear about TRUE exploits. It gives us more information and makes us better prepared for when something serious happens to us/our AO. Thanks
I feel the same way Shane. I salute you and your sons. Take care and God Bless!Originally Posted by Trooper
Are you like linked to the Devine or something??
We just got a text message from our missing friend right after I posted above! He said they are OK - but have lost everything......But they are OK!!!
They survived and that's what matters... homes can be rebuilt, you can get another job, your pictures and keepsakes may be lost, but you still have the memories... a lost loved one can't be replaced! I'm glad to hear your friends are safe!Originally Posted by expose'
Thanks cabal!
I personally cannot get this grin off of my face!
I have searched through every list on the net looking for his name or the names of his family for days!...You get to a point where you run out of places to search....(I hate that feeling!) I give it to God....what more can people do? Once again... He comes through.
This is an interesting piece of information for anyone trying to reach their loved ones in that region..
I have tried our friends home phone number and his cell phone and his email - the cell and phone lines are still jammed - all circuits are busy....but for some reason - *Text* messaging goes through!
This may interest our communications guru's here.....
What amazing photos and first hand account of what it was like to be there!
I have been unsure what to believe from the media. This I believe...
Thanks so much for sharing your story. You and your sons are going to have some incredible memories to share~
Great job, Shane. Good to hear a first-person report by someone on the board.

Talking the talk and walking the walk are two different things. It is indeed reassuring to know that America has some walkers left.
Shane, outstanding, sir.
1. Thank you for going into harms' way, a war zone, to help out.
2. Thank you for sharing this intel with us. You are one of the reasons I am thrilled with TB2K.
3. Haven't heard a peep from those...persons...here who have been whining about you. Hopefully, they've all SHUT UP!
God Bless you and your sons, sir.
echo of the sentiments already posted
Shane, did you hear any estimates of the number of armed unfriendlies? Did the sheriff really end up having to release the prison inmates in the city? Will you be able to grab any stills from your nightvision footage to upload here, or even host some video?
I'm guessing that the bad guys don't have a route to transport their loot out of the city, so the door-to-door searches to collect the dead are gonna be dicey, as looters defend their stashes.
Having BTDT, what are your guesses on what's gonna go down over the coming weeks and months?
Any word on the status of security concerns and evacs in regions outside N.O.? ...not much media attention on that, other than folks drowning as late as Friday due to continued rising water and lack of rescue teams.
All I can say is....what a magnificent display of
caring, courage and determination!
Now if we just had a thousand more with your
qualities working on the problem...this situation
would already be resolved!
And you stopped in Beaumont? Dang, you were
within spitting distance of me. I am in Orange.
Wish we could have made contact with each
other. I'd have been proud to shake your hand!
Four Things You Can't Recover: The stone - after its
thrown, The word - after it's said, The occasion -
after it's missed, and Time - after it's gone.
At a time when our federal govt has failed so miserably and in so many ways, it's people like you and your sons who make me proud to be an American.
The three of you are real life American Heros! Thank you for your caring and sharing.
As we like to say here in the South, "These children were raised right!"
Of course, they have a fine example - a true man that showed young men how to be. These wonderful sons learned things no text book can teach:
courage, fortitude, dependability, bravery.
May your house always be blessed.
Now that's impressive.

|Gwinnett Learning Center Acts of Caring Award, March 2007
Gwinnett, Georgia Learning Center Receives 2007 Acts of Caring Award
March 22, 2007
Congratulations to the Gwinnett SeniorNet Learning Center in Gwinnett County, Georgia. Their Learning Center was selected as a winner in the 2007 Acts of Caring Awards Program! The Acts of Caring Awards recognize the top county volunteer programs in the country. The awards program is carried out by the National Association of Counties (NACo) in partnership with Freddie Mac.
The Gwinnett SeniorNet Learning Center was chosen after a careful review by judges from the Points of Light Foundation, the American Red Cross, America's Promise—the Alliance for Youth, the Child Welfare League of America and the National Association of Volunteer Programs in Local Government.
Nancy Pluth, coordinator of the Gwinnett Learning Center will be accepting the award, along with long-time volunteer, Norman Briggs, and a representative from Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation Department. The awards will be given at a breakfast ceremony on Thursday, April 26th on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The Gwinnett leadership is planning to encourage their two Georgia U.S. Senators and John Linder, from U.S. House of Representatives, who are invited to this breakfast ceremony, to attend the event in hopes of increasing governmental awareness of the SeniorNet program.
The Community Foundation for Northeast Georgia is also hosting an Appreciation Event for the Gwinnett Learning Center on April 17th where even more volunteers will be in attendance. They also will very likely be awarding grant funding to the Learning Center at that time.
When asked about her thoughts on the award coordinator Nancy Pluth commented, "The Acts of Caring award belongs to our members. They have all worked so hard over the years to bring this Learning Center to the level of success and excellence it now enjoys. I am so proud to be a part of this group."
Again, congratulations for winning the prestigious Acts of Caring Award, and thank you to everyone at the Gwinnett Learning Center for your outstanding contributions to the SeniorNet organization!

Though Red Sox owner Harry Frazee exited the Fenway Park stage in 1923, the losing continued under new management. Still, Fenway Park's schedule of non-Red Sox events remained full in 1923 with football and amateur baseball.
Though Red Sox owner Harry Frazee exited the Fenway Park stage in 1923, the losing continued under new management. Still, Fenway Park's schedule of non-Red Sox events remained full in 1923 with football and amateur baseball.
Record: 61-91, 8th in American League
Manager: Frank L. Chance
Attendance: 229,688
In 1923, the Red Sox club ownership and field management changed. Frank Chance took over as manager before the season and on July 11, 1923, a group from the Midwest purchased the team for a little over $1 million. Bob Quinn became president of the club and The Sporting News, reflecting widespread antipathy to the departing Harry Frazee, suggested, "Hub May Make Date of Red Sox Sale New Holiday."
The 1923 season began with the Red Sox in New York for the grand opening of Yankee Stadium. By season's end, the team had won 61 games, the same as in 1922, and the Red Sox finished in last place again. Almost one-third of the team's victories were won by Howard Ehmke, who threw a no-hitter on September 7 and went 20-17. Joe Harris and George Burns led the offense, with 20 homers and 158 RBIs between them, and Burns earned himself a permanent place in the annals of baseball history with his September 14 unassisted triple play, a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy season.
Four high school baseball games were played at Fenway Park in September 1923 with North Cambridge's team appearing in all four but not winning a single contest. North Cambridge tied their first two games at the ballpark but then dropped the next two to finish a winless stretch.

On May 27, 1923, the annual war memorial service organized by the Spanish War Veterans and other groups was held at Fenway Park. After the Red Sox season, the fourth consecutive Columbus Day high school football doubleheader was played at Fenway Park and the following month, Dartmouth and Brown staged a Fenway rematch of their game the previous year.

Khang Le is the boss of Adhesive games, the studio behind the promising Hawken, a multiplayer mech shooter on PC. But he's not just the boss.
He's also the game's creative director.
There's a few Hawken pieces here, as well as some other mechs and robots. But there's also some beautiful environment pieces featuring fantasy landscapes, dilapidated futuristic cities and...ninjas.
You can see way more of Khang's stuff at his personal site. Also, check out this interview I did with him last year shortly after the unveiling of Hawken.

It's not about fat, but this quote from my fave advice columnist Carolyn Hax's live online chat is just startlingly accurate. Especially on a week when the whole fatosphere has been seeing increased troll activity (including just oodles of hate speech here that you guys thankfully never have to see), I think it's worth pinning up on the wall.
Speaking of stages, I think there are stages of perception: 1. When all you know or notice is yourself; 2. When you think everything that you have felt applies to others as well; 3. When you realize that others can go through the same thing as you but not feel the same way as you did; 4. When you can put yourself in other's positions and understand what they feel. Everyone knows Stage 1 is obnoxious, but people stuck in Stage 2 can almost be more so, because they think they know something about you.
This handily describes the problem with approximately 82% of the trolls we see around here, and as much as 96% of the similar people we interact with in our daily lives (since presumably a slightly lower proportion of those are just immature little knobs who get off on spewing hatred, at least if you're not in high school).
I think it's often handy to have a window into the minds of those who antagonize you, even if you don't really want to know what it's like in there. This is one of those windows.

21 February 2011 - United Kingdom. Greenpeace activists dressed in shark costumes hand out leaflets to Princes staff as they arrive for work, confronting them with the consequences of the destructive fishing methods used by Princes to catch their tuna. Other volunteers hang large fabric "dead sharks" from a balcony over the main entrance of tuna giant Princes headquarters in Liverpool, UK, demanding an end to the company's unsustainable fishing practices – which result in the deaths of sharks and other marine animals.

James Buchanan: A Lesson In Name Calling
The question "What is a homesexual?" is not one of the questions I feel comfortable answering. Neither is "What is oral sex?" or "What is virginity?" Believe it not these are questions I have been asked before during class. Was the inquiry a real wonderment on the inquisitor's part or was it for shock value to disrupt? I tend to think it is generally for the latter since these types of questions come up at the strangest times from students I suspect already know the answer. Needless to say I don't take the bait. I certainly don't need little Bobby or Sue to go home and say, "EHT says a homosexual is someone who…."
It's not my place.
My great blogging friend Michael over at the American Presidents Blog recently provided a link to a very interesting web site called Tall, Slim, and Erect. I clicked on several presidents and read the information presented there. The information concerning James Buchanan gave me pause. It reminded me of a predicament I got myself into soon after I had started teaching.
Fifth grade students were assigned a president to research. I have quite a collection of presidential trivia books, and our media center has an extensive collection of short presidential biographies, so it really is a good topic for fourth or fifth grade to put their research skills in action.
So that particular year one eager student was assigned James Buchanan. The student arrived on the due date with paper in hand along with the required poster. The poster was exquisite. It was almost too perfect, if you get my drift. As teachers we all experience this when we assign home research projects. Parents get involved and they finally get to do the project they didn't get to do because their parent horned several years before. It's a rite of passage, isn't it?
The student in question was one of those young men who was never organized, who had physician handwriting, and usually turned in things that looked like they had been up his nose or some other cavity before he turned them in. I usually needed a clothespin and rubber gloves to grade his assignments.
My fine young historian had elected to present his research in the form of a concept web on a red piece of posterboard. The name James Buchanan was in the middle written in crayon with fine script writing on white paper. Each entry was also framed with a piece of blue construction paper that peeked out from the edges of the white. The handwriting was an appropriate height. Black lines spread out from the middle to each concept and wrapped around the entries giving them focus and depth. It was a stunning poster…..you could read each entry from half a classroom away.
There were several ideas spread out around Buchanan's name….lawyer, state representative, senator, diplomat, and finally my gaze fell upon the final entry………gayfer. GAYFER. GAYFER?
I'd been had. Not just by a parent who relived their childhood by completing their son's project for them, but by a parent who wanted to push the envelope a bit to see what I would do.
Pushing the envelope is fine but in the immortal words of Dirty Harry, "A [teacher] has to know their limitations." Some envelopes are razor thin and leave nasty paper cuts if you push back too hard, however, allowing the poster to go up in the hallway with a slur towards a particular group of people would not do.
As far as James Buchanan being gay it is more than likely true. Head on over to the American Presidents Blog and read the remainder of my post including how I handled this push and shove match.

Well I learned something new today!

So glad to read a happy ending to this story! The happiness for me is in the student admitting that his (obviously homophobic) dad had made the poster. And "gayfer" is about as acceptable as the N-word, so it's good that the kid covered it with "bachelor president."
Like Onyx, I learned something new about the history of my America today. Thanks, EHT!
- EHT said...
I aim to please....thanks!
In this morning's USA TODAY, you are quoted from an earlier posting saying "to my colleagues and I".
I am going to assume that, as a college-educated teacher, you were exposed somewhere in your past to the objective case. Would you have said "it's exhausting to I"?
If one presumes to be a spokesperson for one's profession,especially a profession involved with shaping minds, one should communicate properly.

Yes, kderosa I believe you are corrent.
Reader, please understand that I gave the interview to USA Today by phone. I believe we are all aware that what we say and how we say it doesn't always transfer to the paper itself. I did not type the interview, have any control regarding the contents, or have any say so in how the report was revised or edited. Please refer any comments regarding typos or grammatical infractions to the author of the story or the paper.
Anonymous, it is very sad that you feel you have to resort to name calling. I won't allow that on my site. Sorry....
- EHT said...
Reader....one more thing. I appreciate you advising me regarding the problem. The correction had already been handled on my end. I have notified the paper.
I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. As a teacher of tenth graders, I wish they had the foundation you provide in elementary school.
On the topic, this week we are learning about Alexander the Great and their favorite question has been "Was he really gay?"
So important to our lesson, I am sure. Hollywood has helped them with that idea.
- EHT said...
Thank you anonymous. I agree with you that Hollywood brings many things into the classroom today that you and I would never have experienced in our day.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Inspectors from Greece's lenders have put a postponed visit to the country back on the agenda and will return early next week after Athens made a new proposal on filling a gap in the 2014 budget, the European Commission said.
The team of officials from the International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and the European Central Bank - known as the Troika - will decide whether to pay out the next tranche of loans under Greece's bailout program.
The inspectors visit Athens regularly to check progress on its bailout commitments.
Their most recent inspection began in September before being paused and was initially expected to resume at end-October and then slated for resumption on November4.
On Thursday, euro zone officials said the trip next week would be postponed because the parties had been unable to bridge differences over how to close a 2-billion-euro ($2.7 billion) hole in Greece's 2014 budget.
But the standoff was defused late on Friday when Greece sent the lenders information on how it could fill the fiscal gap and meet other bailout targets, including privatizations.
"We have (on Friday) evening received further information from Athens which means we can confirm our travel plans. Our team will thus be in Athens at the beginning of the coming week," European Commission spokesman Simon O'Connor said.
The International Monetary Fund said that its staff would resume work in Athens on Tuesday.
Greece has been kept afloat by a financial lifeline from the euro zone and the IMF since 2010, with 240 billion euros ($330 billion) pledged in exchange for spending cuts and reforms.
After a six-year recession that wiped out 40 percent of household disposable incomes and sent unemployment soaring to almost 28 percent, Greeks are saying they can take no more.
The coalition government argues it deserves some slack after delivering the biggest budget deficit reduction ever recorded in the euro zone, and Greece's president has said the country would not yield to pressure from foreign lenders to impose more budget austerity.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Confusion over money, missing funds and inadequate tracking of public dollars in school activities and sports are problems that extend far beyond recent concerns about Timpview High School, according to the Office of the State Auditor.
The office released four audits Thursday of programs at Davis, Cottonwood, Fremont and Alta high schools.
They found public funds improperly kept by Cottonwood booster clubs; inadequate oversight that left funds at Fremont, Davis and Cottonwood vulnerable to misuse; a lack of documentation of money collected through fundraisers at Alta and Cottonwood; and athletic construction projects at Cottonwood that may have violated state law.
The number of issues led auditors to conclude the problems may be pervasive in Utah.
"A significant amount of money is handled at schools through fundraising, donations, advertising, sponsorship and booster club activities," said a summary given to the State Office of Education. "Based on our review of a limited number of school districts and schools, we believe that similar problems would be found at other districts and schools."
Auditors examined the schools' financial practices after questions arose about finances within Timpview's sports programs. Allegations resulted in Timpview football coach Louis Wong's resignation.
Though auditors discovered troubles at all four schools, they found the most issues at Cottonwood.
They found the school's booster clubs kept money raised at various events that should have been considered public money that went directly to the school.
"District policies are unclear and confusing," the Cottonwood audit states, "which made the determination of whether the funds raised were public or private difficult."
The audit also shows Cottonwood construction projects funded by donations, including a weight room, baseball practice facility, press box and football field, were not properly overseen or accounted for by Granite School District. "Because these projects were funded by and constructed under the direction of the donors, the District abdicated much of their responsibility for the projects to the donors," according to the audit. "However, state law does not give any exemptions related to construction depending on the funding source; therefore, all state laws and rules apply to donated projects."
Cottonwood also made payments totalling more than $27,000 to a single vendor for multiple invoices without getting proper competitive bids. And it appears the school split purchases of baseball uniforms into multiple invoices, possibly to avoid bidding requirements and the district's involvement something the district's own accounting manual says is illegal.
Granite spokesman Ben Horsley said the audit's findings did not surprise the district. He said the district has been investigating the situation at Cottonwood for about a year. Granite passed a new donations policy this summer and is now changing other policies as well, he said.
"These problems didn't begin with some of the people we have in place now, but they're going to end with us," Horsley said.
He said it appears some of the individuals involved simply were not aware of district policies, which he said "is on us in some respects for not providing appropriate and ongoing training."
"Unfortunately, in some instances there are relationships between how donations are received and extracurricular opportunities for our students," Horsley said, "and we want to make sure every kid has equal opportunities to participate based on their skills and abilities and not because of donations or other outside influences."
Scott Cate was a Cottonwood booster for about a decade who donated millions of dollars to the school's athletics programs. He was also an assistant football coach during that time until he was ousted in July when the Granite School District enacted a policy preventing people who donate more than $300 in a year from being athletic coaches. He wasn't impressed by the talk of putting more controls over money donated to athletics.
"I'm out of the business of trying to help public high schools. I have no idea why anybody in the business world would try to tell you how to spend your money. It's a sad day, because I know a lot of people who try to do right by their school, and you have to wonder why even get involved," Cate said.
Leaders of the other three districts, however, also agreed to follow the auditors' recommendations to improve.
"The auditor really validated some of the adjustments that we've been making and we're pleased that, in collaboration with the auditors, we were able to identify a few other areas that needed attention, and we'll continue to work on to improve," said Jennifer Toomer-Cook, spokeswoman for the Canyons district of which Alta is part.
Auditors found Alta did not adequately document how much money was raised from certain fundraisers. They also found a lack of formally approved policies and procedures for fundraising. Toomer-Cook said the district has already purchased cash registers for concessions to better track sales and is updating the district's accounting manual and scheduling training sessions.
Weber district spokesman Nate Taggart said his district also welcomed the audit and is addressing the issues it raised at Fremont. Auditors found inadequate separation of financial duties at the school; a lack of policies and procedures related to football summer camp fees; and a lack of controls over cash receipt and fundraising.
For instance, when auditors asked about $1,425 in revenue missing from a choir fundraiser, the choir teacher found $1,100 of undeposited checks and cash in his office that were up to 8 months old.
Davis district also is working to address concerns, including inadequate separation of financial duties and inadequate controls over cash receipt, fundraising and cash payments, spokesman Chris Williams said.
Among other things, auditors recommended the State Office of Education develop best practice guidelines, including internal controls, for districts to include in their own policies on fundraising, donations, advertising, sponsorships and booster clubs.
The state office already held a number of training sessions for district employees earlier this year to address such issues, and is now creating a new rule to guide the use of cash related to school sports and activities.
Martell Menlove, state deputy superintendent, said the new rule should address most of the issues outlined in the audits. He said the state office hopes to help districts and educators avoid such pitfalls in the future.
"There are some individual situations that cause some concern," Menlove said, "but I think overall we have people who are trying to do what's right but may need some additional help."
Tribune reporter Kyle Goon contributed to this story.
Audits reveal financial issues at high schools
Cottonwood High • Granite School District did not properly oversee or account for construction projects funded by donations, including a weight room, baseball practice facility, press box and football field. Cottonwood also made payments totalling more than $27,000 to a single vendor for multiple invoices without getting proper competitive bids.
Alta High • Alta did not adequately document how much was raised from certain fundraisers, such as from ticket sales for a cheer event and concession sales for football games. Auditors also found fundraising policies lacking.
Fremont High • Auditors found inadequate separation of financial duties; inadequate policies related to football summer camp fees; and a lack of controls over cash receipt and fundraising.
Davis High • Auditors found inadequate separation of financial duties, inadequate controls over cash receipt and fundraising. For example, the drill team did not keep records of concessions sold at an event, making it impossible to determine whether all the money was properly deposited.

Why I decided to ride again

Why I decided to ride again
I rode London to paris 2014 with no intention of repeating the ride at all but what I found was a camerarderie beyond description and an event that surpassed my wildest dreams of experience and joy. Yes it was not easy nothing good ever is but with training and listening to others that have ridden multi-day events before it is easily do-able.
The feeling of euphoria every day was just amasing from the cheering crews out of every stop and in the next one, the ride captains (utterly amazing) the medical and masssage team, the catering, organisation, back up; oh and the weather was superb too.
I have made friends with people I never knew before and stayed in touch as well.
We have even had a re-union ride in the Vale of Belvoir that was appreciated by all and very enjoyable.

MSNBC on Tuesday continued its attempt to dismiss Republican candidates as extremist, hitting Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell and others as "mean girls" who are unqualified for office. Jansing appeared shocked that the Delaware candidate pointed out the phrase "separation of church and state" isn't in the Constitution. She then read from the First Amendment, but failed to find the words.
After playing a clip of O'Donnell from this morning's debate, Jansing sputtered, "I thought she had to be kidding." She then pulled out her "handy, dandy" pocket Constitution and quoted, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech.' Amendment number one. I don't even know where to go with that." [MP3 audio here. Click on the article for video.]
What Jansing was thinking of is the Establishment Clause. O'Donnell's point was that restricting the creation of the official religion isn't the same thing as walling off faith from public life. Despite the indignant tone of Jansing, "separation of church and state" isn't in the text.
Regarding other female Republican candidates, such as Angle, an outraged Jansing snapped to guest Michelle Bernard, "And, actually, I'm not finding any of this stuff funny any more. It actually kind of made me sick to my stomach because I feel like somehow we have got to find people who know a little more, can do a little more, something."
The "mean girls" label, which MSNBC used as a graphic, came from a Maureen Dowd column on Sunday. Jansing mocked Angle for saying this to a group of Hispanic high school students: "I don't know that all of you are Latinos. Some of you look a little more Asian to me."
No mention, of course, was made of any gaffes or odd statements of Democrats. Harry Reid, Angle's opponent, in August slammed, "I don't know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican. "Do I need to say more?"
A transcript of the October 19 segment, which aired at 11:03am EDT, follows:
CHRIS JANSING: From belittling the President's manhood to telling an opponent to man-up, are these Republican candidates the new mean girls?
GRAPHIC: New Mean Girls?
JANSING: And speaking of mean girls, Nevada senatorial candidate Sharron Angle manages to offend Latinos and Asians in one breath.
SHARRON ANGLE: I don't know that all of you are Latinos. Some of you look a little more Asian to me.
JANSING: With Angle and Reid separated by a hair in their Senate showdown, will comments like that help put Reid over the top?
JANSING: Okay, we can't make this stuff up. Last week Christine O'Donnell said she'd have to check on some Supreme Court cases she disagreed on. Now it seems she has to just simply check on the Constitution. Listen to this.
CHRISTINE O'DONNELL: Where in the Constitution is separation of church and state?
CHRIS COONS: An excellent point.
MODERATOR: Hold on, hold on, please.
JANSING: I actually, Michelle, let me introduce Lynn Bernard [sic], Michelle Bernard, president and CEO of the Independent Women Forum and MSNBC political analyst. Major Hillary Clinton supporter, Lady Lynn De Forrester De Rothchild. And Howard Wolfson Deputy New York City mayor and former senior aide for Hillary Clinton. I literally had to find out from our producer on the scene if she was kidding. I thought she had to be kidding. You know, handy dandy pocket, maybe I could send this, the Constitution. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof or abridging the freedom of speech." Amendment number one. I don't even know where to go with that. Did you think it was a joke, Howard?
HOWARD WOLFSON: I think if was a joke, whether she meant it as a joke, I don't know. She is a Saturday Night Live satire of herself. And last night in New York we saw seven candidates on the debating for governor. People who were obscure, people who weren't running in any serious way. You know, this just debases America's faith in the political system.
JANSING: I'm going to drive the control room crazy. But, If we have that set of clips from the New York governor's debate I want to bring it into this discussion, if we can. It will take them a minute to find them. But, Michelle, let me ask you, because, I sat and watch that governor's debate for an hour and a half. Then I hear about this comment. And, actually, I'm not finding any of this stuff funny any more. It actually kind of made me sick to my stomach because I feel like somehow we have got to find people who know a little more, can do a little more, something. This is such a serious time in our nation's history. How did we get to this point?
MICHELLE BERNARD: I don't know how we got to this point. I'm scratching my head also. Christine O'Donnell has had a lot of moments that just were not stellar moments. But, this was absolutely one of them. And, you know, Chris, I mean, the American public is bleeding and whether we're looking at independents, Democrats or Republicans, you know that most of the American public is looking at these clips, watching television, listening to these candidates on the radio and saying is there truly anyone out there that understands the suffering that we're going through? Unemployment is, you know, through the roof. The foreclosure crisis that we're seeing all throughout the countries. Banks deciding that they're going to start foreclosing on people's homes again. And then you have candidates who profess this love of the Constitution, but then don't understand the Constitution or seemingly haven't read it. People have to be saying, would I been better off moving to a different country? It's very, very, very sad. We need some politicians who need to know what they're doing.
JANSING: And do you know Christine O'Donnell claims she did graduate work at the Claremont Institute? On its website it displays a picture of the Constitution. Howard, since you brought it up, I do want to play that set of sound bites from this debate,. But, frankly, I think New York Times said it was nearly a farce. The Post says it was a farce. This debate for governor of New york, take a listen.
KRISTIN DAVIS (NY gubernatorial nominee): The career politicians in Albany are the biggest whores in the state. I might be the only person sitting on this stage with the right experience deal with them.
UNIDENTIFIED CANDIDATE: I'm not your typical New York politician. I've never been cught with a prostitute.
DAVIS: It will kill thousands of jobs and decimate our economies. In fact, businesses will leave this state quicker than Carl Paladino at a gay bar.
SECOND UNIDENTIFIED: Listen, someone's child's stomach just growled. Did you hear it? Gotta listen like me. Let's talk about the issues. People can't afford to pay their rent. My rent is too damn high.
MODERATOR: Okay, Mr. Cuomo. 30 Seconds for you, sir.
ANDREW CUOMO: Thank you.
JANSING: I mean, even Andrew Cuomo had to laugh, that gentleman was from the Rent is Too Damn High Party." And we don't know, I tried to find out why he was wearing the gloves. So, where do we go from here? We have Sharron Angle who, basically, won't take questions. You have Rand Paul who won't do debates and they're taking questions, they're having debates. At least, say for them, and say for Christine O'Donnell who was on the radio today, they're taking questions, they're having debates. Does it say more about what the Democrats have done or not done because that's where this anger is being fueled and it's allowing for some people who arguably don't have the credentials to run for serious high office.
LADY LYNN FORESTER DE ROTHSCHILD (Hillary Clinton supporter): Well, someone once said that Americans want to elect an eagle and they're given choices between a duck and a chicken. And our political system is so ugly the process that a person has to go through. The person you have to become to achieve elected office is so ugly that the best and the brightest among us are staying quiet, just like the Yates poem. Just like the Second Coming.
JANSING: Is that what is going on?
DE ROTHSCHILD: I really think that is what's going on.
JANSING: I spent a little bit of time in Washington, a lot of time on various campaign trails and people always sort of look at me with rolling eyes when I say to them, You'd be surprised how hard people work. You'd be surprised how good some of their staffs are and how much they genuinely do care. Is it the process that process that allows people who are not so smart to get in? Help us try to understand this.
WOLFSON: Well, I am always in favor of saying nice things about staff. In some of these cases, what you have is a tiny minority of a state's population voting in a primary and choosing the more extreme candidate whether on the left or the right over the more moderate candidate. That's what happened in Delaware. We had an excellent candidate there in Mike Castle. Mayor Bloomberg supported him, moderate Republican, been in the House of Representatives a long time, accomplished bipartisan, but he had to fight in a Republican primary that was tilted to the right and you have the result that you had. So, this person who is not qualified to be the Senate, she's not going to be the next senator is on tv and on the radio making embarrassing statements like that. And for the general public, for the person who, the vast majority of people who weren't voting for her in a primary, they just shrug their shoulders and say, how could the country, how have we come to this?
JANSING: Yeah. Really quickly. I want to go to that op-ed piece in the New York Times by the Maureen Dowd, who compared the ladies of the Republican Party, the races this year to the tween movie with Lindsay, Mean Girls. Quote, "We are in the era of Republican mean girls, grown-up versions of those teenage tormentors who would steal your boyfriend, spray-paint your locker and just for good measure, spread rumors that you were pregnant." So, Michelle, here's what I want to know: Are they the mean girls because you have to be mean or is this a case of sexism where you're tough and you're smart and successful you must be then, as a woman, mean. I won't use the word that rhymes with witch.
BERNARD: You know, Chris, I'm going to say, that if anybody is the mean girl in this, this is Maureen Dowd. I mean, the column she wrote where in the New York Times over the weekend where she's depicting the Republican and conservative female candidates as the Mean Girls, it's kind of ironic coming from a self-professed, progressive, liberal who wrote a column in July of this year for the New York Times where she said the White House wasn't black enough. You know, it's ironic coming from her and what we see with Republican and Democrat candidates, there's been an enormous sea change from the '60s, the '70s and even From the way female candidates ran in 2008. Women are running, whether they're Democrats or Republicans very differently now. You don't see a lot of female candidates of any political stripe talking about their children, their husbands, their families, their grandchildren. They are running for political office much in the same way that men have done and it's the first time we have seen so many Republican candidates on nationwide tickets whether they're running for governor, for senator or for House seats that are running in a very, very different way. And I think most of the nation has been caught by surprise by this but I think Maureen Dowd's column is way, way, way over the top. If she wants to talk about the candidate, she should talk about them on their merits. Are they good candidates or bad candidates. Do they know what they're talking. But, to say they're Mean Girls because, you know, Sharron Angle told Harry Reid to man up is ridiculous.

Poisson R-Square estimate possible?
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Ben Chapman
posted on Saturday, March 24, 2007 - 7:43 am
Hi--I have just purchased Mplus and fit a few path models in which observed outcomes are variously continuous, ordered categorical, and poisson. Estimator is MLR. While there is an R-square for the ordered categorical outcome (the source of which I see referenced on the board here), none is generated for the poisson outcome. Is it possible to obtain some sort of (pseduo?)R-square estimate for the poisson outcome?

I haven't seen this done and I cannot think of a natural way to do this. Other readers?

Thanks for the quick reply. I was just curious, having seen seen deviance-based R-square measures for poisson models, i.e. Waldhör et al 1998, but maybe it's not applicable here or wouldn't be a good idea. Thanks again.

That's a possible approach.

In answer to Ben Chapman's question about generating pseudo R-squared values for poisson regression... If you have access to a general purpose stats software program like Stata, for estimating regression (albeit, not for a path model), you can generate pseudo r-squared values for poisson, as well as negative binomial regression, and zero-inflated and zero-truncated versions of these models. If you have access to Stata, this is accomplished by using the "fitstat" ado user-written supplemental file. Again, this is for regression - not for path models.
posted on Monday, September 09, 2013 - 8:07 am
Dear Prof. Muthen,
I am running a zero-inflated negative binomial model. The model fits very well. Reviewers are asking for pseudo-R-sqr to be reported.
May I kindly request you to guide me to the formula which I can use to calculate pseudo-Rsqr from the output values produced by MPlus please. As I am not familiar with other software like STATA it would be great if you would advice to calculate this value within the MPlus environment itself. Thanking you so very much in advance.
Respectfully, Arun.

The negbin book by Hilbe (2011, 2nd ed.) gives the pseudo-R2 statistic on page 65. This is easily obtained by Mplus by doing two runs (see also Hilbe, pp. 65-66), one without the covariates (intercept-only model) and one with the covariates. Then
where LLF is the loglikelihood value for the model with covariates and LLI is the loglikelihood value for the intercept-only model. This type of R2 is also used with binary outcomes and called the McFadden R2.

Respected Prof Muthen,
Thank you so very much for your quick reply. My sincere gratitude to you.
Respectfully, Arun.

Professor Muthen,
In attempting to calculate the McFadden R2 for negbin how do I request an intercept only model? I thought this would be done by simply running without any covariates but my loglilihood for this model with only the count outcome is larger than my full model. This seems incorrect to me and thus I suspect I am not correctly running the intercept only model. I greatly appreciate any clarification you can offer.
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, April 28, 2015 - 5:31 pm
Run the model with all the covariates, but fix their slopes at zero.

In 2009 I posted about my tendency to talk in movie quotes that nobody got but me. This is a quick addendum to that fine list; two one-word lines from films I hope you've seen.
Mangoes! This is from Apocalypse Now, shrieked by Chef as he's being ordered to search a Vietnamese skiff for weapons. Keep in mind, Chef was prejudiced against mangoes since the tiger incident. Viewer discretion advised:
Firewood! This is from Force 10 from Navarone, elegantly delivered by Barbara Bach in a succinct staccato: "FIE whood!"
These have the unique disposition of being things I say out loud, non-sequitur, whenever I see or hear the words. They're also both exclamations, which leads to the fact that they both get me into awkward social situations. Especially at Hawaiian BBQs.

State Department will raise the temperatures to cut spending.
While the prospect of a hot war may preoccupy some State Department officials in Washington this summer, the certainty of a hot office is bound to be on the mind of every employee at the agency.
The department recently announced it will not furlough any employees this year. To reach the cuts required by sequestration, budgeters will rely on standard practices like a partial hiring freeze and a reduction in travel and conference spending.
State also threw in a new strategy, however: raising the temperature in department buildings to save money on energy bills.
"DOS target office temperature has been 72 degrees Fahrenheit in past summers and our plan is to raise that comfort set point to 75°F to 77°F this summer," a department spokeswoman told Government Executive. "Historically, our monthly electricity bill increases by 30 to 40 percent from winter to summer and the new set point adjustment will allow State to avoid/recoup some of the traditional increases. The amount of savings will depend on the average temperatures in D.C. this summer."
With the way D.C. summers have been trending lately, some State employees may have preferred furloughs; at least at home they'd be able to control their own air conditioning.

Harper moves in, hopes to move up
GREEN BAY — Chris Harper isn't getting comfortable. After what he went through last season, he's too smart to do that.
But at least the Green Bay Packers wide receiver is unpacking.
Last season, Harper was on three NFL rosters. He began the year with the Seattle Seahawks, who'd taken him in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft out of Kansas State but cut him at the end of training camp. As the 123rd overall pick, he was the second-highest draft pick in last year's class to be cut by his team – only Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson, taken and released by the Oakland Raiders at No. 112, was higher — and to put his release in perspective, Harper was picked in between Packers center JC Tretter (No. 122) and reserve running back Johnathan Franklin (No. 125).
The Seahawks had hoped to sneak him onto their practice squad, but their NFC West archrivals, the San Francisco 49ers, claimed him on waivers. After seven inactive weeks on the 49ers' roster, they cut him, too – just in time for Packers general manager Ted Thompson to put in a waiver claim on him on Oct. 18, after wide receivers Randall Cobb (leg) and James Jones (knee) had left the previous week's game at Baltimore with injuries. (Harper wound up being the only player the Packers were awarded on waivers last season.)
Harper wound up seeing action in three games with the Packers, primarily on special teams – he played two offensive snaps last season, without a reception – and lived out of suitcases for the balance of the season.
"The moving part was probably the toughest part," Harper admitted during a break in organized team activity practices last week – in advance of the mandatory minicamp, which kicks off Tuesday. "I have everything (now). I got cut in Seattle and then San Fran. I had all my Seahawk stuff sent to San Fran, and when I got cut from San Fran, I just shipped it all home (to Kansas). I just now got everything back up here like two weeks ago. I'm still unpacking stuff."
Despite a challenging depth chart that has four shoo-ins (if healthy) for the 53-man roster – Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb, Jarrett Boykin and rookie second-round pick Davante Adams – and battling a gaggle of other roster hopefuls for what might only be one roster spot (despite quarterback Aaron Rodgers' hope of keeping six receivers), Harper hopes to stick around for quite awhile.
His nomadic football life dates back to college, having started at the University of Oregon as a quarterback before moving closer to his Wichita, Kan., home at K-State. There, he led the Wildcats in receiving each of his final two years, catching 40 passes for 547 yards as a junior and 58 passes for 857 yards as a senior.
Now, after a strong start during OTAs – he missed the final week after tweaking his hamstring but vowed to be back on the field Tuesday for the first minicamp practice – he's hoping to recapture that form.
"Chris has really improved," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said after watching Harper make several terrific catches during the June 3 open OTA practice. "I still go back to his K-State film. You talk about a very talented, powerful, young player. He looks more and more comfortable with what we're asking him to do, and I don't think that was the case last year when he came here. So he's having a very good offseason."
While part of Harper's problem last year was having three playbooks rattling around in his head, he said he actually picked up the Packers' offense relatively quickly. His greater issue was undoing what the 49ers had done to him, having worked him as a tight end and H-back in hopes that at 6-foot-1 and 228 pounds and with a less-than-blazing 40 time (4.55 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine), he might be better suited for that position.
"I play receiver. I don't play tight end, which is what San Fran really had me playing," Harper said. "I don't even know how to get into a three-point stance. We had to work on getting into a three-point stance. In the NFL, you shouldn't have to work on a stance. I had to go back to like Day 1 of football. It was kind of – I don't know. I don't want to say it couldn't have worked out but it was during the season and I missed camp and all the basic stuff."
Now, that's exactly what he's getting in Green Bay – and exactly what he needs.
"I learned the offense and all that, but during practice, I was just thinking. I couldn't be out there and be natural," Harper said of last season. "That was probably the biggest thing for me. I knew the plays and I knew a lot of the stuff, [although] not as well as I know it now. I know the intricacies of our offense now, but it's just being natural. I don't have to think about it anymore. I can just go for it. I know exactly what everyone is doing. I can just go out there and play.
"Getting the whole offseason, it's a different world."
He'll need that kind of comfort to crack the 53-man roster. After the top four, the Packers are high on rookie fifth-round pick Jared Abbrederis of Wisconsin and seventh-round pick Jeff Janis of Saginaw Valley State; while holdovers Myles White (nine receptions last season) and 2013 seventh-round pick Kevin Dorsey are in the mix, too. Even if the Packers keep six wideouts, Harper will still have to make an excellent training-camp and preseason impression to be among them. If he succeeds, he'll get to line up against the Seahawks in the Sept. 4 regular-season opener.
"Yeah, that'll definitely be something I use [as motivation]," Harper said.
And yet, Harper clearly doesn't lack for confidence, as evidenced by what he told Rodgers when the two chatted during OTAs.
"[The number of receivers on the roster] pushes me, but I don't really think about it like that," Harper said. "Because like I said to 'A-Rod,' I'm not trying to beat anybody out to make the team, I'm trying to start. I'm trying to go for Jordy and Randall, I'm not trying to just play.
"I've done since this since I was little and I don't feel like anything changing just the guys around me and the teams, it's still football. That's how I look at it. I've been good since I started playing so it's definitely not going to change the way I feel about myself now."

I found these two enameled brooches on a garage sale.
One is stamped as silver, blue enameled with 4 little pearls. The other is also enameled with a light blue background with a bunch of colored little flowers. This last one has no mark at all but to see it's vermeil.
The period is probably the first half of the 20s. Have you any idea where these are used for?

If you are directly upwind of the kite, it will not slide all over.
That's the key, be directly upwind.
Let's say the wind is coming a bit from the left, but still onshore: Point your kite to the left until the downwind edge of your kite catches the wind( if too windy, put some sand or a wet towel on THAT part of the kite)
If you are upwind or even more to the left of it, and pull on the LEFT rear line together with your bar(just a bit more tension on your left rear lines), and walk back to get your kite inflated, then walk towards it to make it flip on the edge, then pull the right side...sheet out...and..giddy up.
PS: Works better with more wind, light winds and big kites..not so much

Top 9 Tips for Home Sellers this Spring
I know when you look outside, it's hard to convince you that spring is here. Yet, it will soon be time to get your house ready to sell.
Use these 9 tips to prepare your home for the spring market:
1. Lose it
Now that you can see the ground and temperatures are above zero, it's time for your things to go where they belong. For those awesome presents you received for Christmas… now is the time to decide their fate. A trip to a non-profit organization might be what the doctor ordered.
2. Rake it in
Get out the trimmer and cut overgrown vegetation, especially near windows and paths. Now you can dust off the rake and get all the dead leaves, debris, and newly trimmed clippings off the lawn so that you can move on to number 3…
3. Mani and pedi
As well as making your yard appear larger, mowing your grass diagonally shows potential buyers that you put extra time into the details, and they will already expect that you have done the same inside. Edge your lawn near sidewalks and curbs, as it shows clean lines.
4. Garden party
Everyone, especially after this long cold winter, wants to see some colour on the ground. Nothing does this better than transplanted flowers or flowers in decorative containers. Choose bright, complimentary colours that give a warm and inviting message.
5. Streak-free shine
Now that the outside is ready for buyers, it's time for a little TLC on the inside. Cleaning your windows inside and out is paramount to selling a home, especially in the spring. Sparkle doesn't cost you much, but it certainly sells.
6. Spring breeze
Before you crank open your windows, take a look at your window coverings. Could they use a wash? For plastic blinds, a quick bath in the tub will do the trick, and wipe down wood-based blinds.
7. Outside-in
Bring some fresh flowers inside, as the scent will carry throughout the home. There's nothing better than walking into a home that smells fresh and clean. Try tall, skinny vases, as you don't want to take away floor or table-top space.
8. Get detailed
Essentially, buyers are taking your home for a test drive, trying to visualize themselves buying and living in your home. Now is the time to rent that steam cleaner for your carpets, bleach or scrub down the grout around tiles, and make those wood floors shine.
9. Quick hitter
Some of the least expensive things you can do to your home will have the greatest impact. A fresh coat of paint or updated accents go a long way with potential buyers. Lose the dark towels, bed linens and throw pillows, and go for lighter spring-inspired colours.

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]s it a bird… is it a TABLET… is it a Notebook? It's a SONY ULTRABOOK!! Seriously… this thing is pretty cool. In fact, it is to date probably the best implementation of touch screen and Windows 8 I've seen. The Sony VAIO Duo 11 is thin enough and small enough to be a very usable field tablet, and powerful enough and feature rich enough to pull of the whole notebook thing incredibly well. The only thing you MAY miss is a disc drive of some type… but if you do miss that kind of thing I'd be remiss if I didn't say "Hardcopy is so yesterday". With the USB 3.0 ports, the built-in SD memory card slot (not just a memory stick! Big Kudos to SONY for not going with their proprietary stick, it was the right thing to do because this ultrabook is soooo convenient to use because of it).
The SONY VAIO Duo 11 Convertible Touch Ultrabook is the fastest booting system I've seen in a long time. It has a 128G SSD drive and the thing boots up from pressing the power button to logging in… in a crazy 6 seconds.
SONY VAIO Duo 11 Convertible Touch Ultrabook In Review
When you are in tablet mode it looks like a biggish tablet, it's still very thin, and because it has a real full blown 3rd gen i5-3337u processor and 6 Gigs of RAM… it has all the power you could need to handle all but the most daunting of tasks. For instance, we were able to play Need For Speed: Most Wanted on it. We had to turn the graphics down the lowest setting, but the game ran really very well on it. So did Far Cry 3. The Intel HD Graphics 4000 chipset really does a pretty good job. Is this a gaming machine? No and that's the point I'm trying to make. You can have a killer tablet, an awesome notebook and something that will actually play some of the most graphically intense games albeit on the low setting, but still…
When you are in notebook mode (you flip the screen up and the keyboard underneath is revealed) you have a full-ish qwerty keyboard, a little nub pointer (think IBM Thinkpad pointer) and the touch screen display. You can go with a USB mouse or Bluetooth your choice if you need a mouse. The touch portion of the screen in either mode is responsive and quick, and it comes with the full version of Windows 8 thanks to the full 3rd Gen Intel Core i5-3337u Processor.
The Image quality was outstanding, the video was crisp and clear, the games looked terrific, and it had WiDi which was pretty nifty. Another area the SONY VAIO Duo 11 Touch Ultrabook really shines is art. It has an exceptional two button stylus and software (Art Rage Pro) that really gives it appeal to anyone that can draw. With many levels of touch sensitivity you can do complex pencil sketches and charcoal prints. Very neat stuff.
My only complaint with the SONY VAIO Duo 11 Convertible Touch Ultrabook is the battery life. I'm not sure I ever got 3 hours out of it even though the specs say 4 hours and 45 minutes. So be prepared to be tethered to an electrical outlet if you are out for more than 3 hours. The first unit we got from SONY had an issue with the display (the touch screen didn't work after a few hours of use, you could see everything but touch was off). After turning the unit over it was clear that the Duo 11 we received was a pre-production unit (think beta version) so no ding for that issue, the second unit we received had no such problem. Both units suffered from the same battery issue though and because that was the case in both instances, there was no need to wonder if it was an isolated incident.

Democrats shook their heads at Texas lawmakers who said they were appalled by the White House's decision to cancel tours because of the sequestration.
In an email to Texas Democrats on Thursday, the Democratic National Committee posted the Houston Chronicle's article on the Republican reaction and scolded them for not budging on attempts to compromise and stop the budgetary cuts.
"It's sad to see the Texas Republican Congressional delegation is more concerned with sequestration cutting off tours of the White House than they are about sequestration causing furloughs at military bases and air traffic control towers all over Texas. They should stop complaining and start working with President Obama and Democrats on a balanced compromise that stops sequestration's indiscriminate cuts and replaces it by cutting truly wasteful spending and closing tax loopholes for the wealthiest Americans."
The White House announced the tours would be cancelled until further notice because of staffing cut backs caused by the sequester. After the Tuesday announcement, several Texas Republicans posted on social media websites that the White House "belongs to the people" and it was unfair for the president to shut them out.
