The Florida Supreme Court was asked today to compel legislative leaders to disclose their conversations with political consultants before they drew new political boundaries. The once a decade redrawing of maps was supposed to be different in 2012 because of the Fair Districts Amendment, but the amendments sponsor believes lawmakers violated the citizen mandate.
By an almost two to one margin, voters in 2010 approved the Fair Districts Amendments, the amendments prohibit lawmakers from intending to favor a party or a person. Now the League of Women Voters, who sponsored Fair Districts, is before the State Supreme Court trying to force lawmakers to talk about conversations with political consultants. "The intent is in the Constitution, we should be able to inquire into all the facts relating to intent. But those facts include 'what did you consult with outside of political operative?'" says Sandy D'Alemberte, Attorney LWV.
But state lawmakers say they are exempt from any inquiry into what they did and why. "That's prohibited ground, that's your position on this? It seems to me that other privileges don't fall into the category," says Justice Fred Lewis, Supreme Court Justice.
Afterwards, Attorney Raoul Cantero said forcing lawmakers to explain their intent would be a first. "If the court would order depositions in this case, they would be the first court in the country to do so. We just want them to do what every other state has done," says Raoul Cantero, Attorney for legislature.
But the League of Women Voters has already uncovered evidence of conversations with political operatives during the map drawing process. They want to learn more. "Out of discovery from third party consulting showing that there was backroom dealings here that we believe show violation of the Amendments," says Adam Schachter.
The case before the court right now only pertains to Congressional Districts.
It could be expanded to include state lawmakers if unlawful intent is found.

How to use OpenOffice 2.0's database tool
OpenOffice expert Solveig Haugland walks users through the process of creating a database and entry forms to conveniently configurate data entry.
The built-in database tool in OpenOffice.org 2.0 is one of the most eagerly-awaited features in the new release. I know a lot of people were also eagerly awaiting the ability to convert Excel macros to OpenOffice.org macros but, unfortunately, those people are still waiting. Right now, let's take a tour of the database tool.
I'm not a lifetime database devotee, but I do know my way around the different data types -- string, integer, etc.-- and used to be the tech report writer for Great Plains Dynamics. I've also been known to discuss CLOBS and BLOBS; though, never in mixed company.
|Solveig Haugland, Site expert
So, let's get going on my overview of the OpenOffice 2.0 database tool's new features: the database, the forms, mail merging in from those databases, and, generally, how easy it is to use. Since this is a huge topic, I'm going to be covering this in several articles that will be published over the course of the next two months.
In this article, I'm going to go over the basics of creating a database from scratch. With that comes creating tables as well as making a simple data entry form as another way to get information into the database.
There are a host of other complex, juicy topics that I'll get into in subsequent articles, such as queries, reports, the ever-present limitations of spreadsheet-based databases, linking to existing data, linking fields in separate databases or tables of the same database, and more.
So, you want to make a database from scratch?
Let's say your data doesn't exist yet; you're going to be entering it in the future when you start running your bed-and-breakfast or consulting business. Or you have so little that you don't mind typing it in again. At any rate, you're ready to create a fresh new database from scratch.
It's really not too difficult. OpenOffice 2.0 has a nice, new wizard interface that's not overly hand-holding, as some of the mail merge wizards have been.
Step 1: Creating the database
It all starts logically enough with File > New > Database. (As a long-suffering user of "Insert > Envelope," I'm always excited when you can create something new by choosing File > New.)
You get this window, where you choose New Database. Select Create a New Database and click Next. The options are pretty self-explanatory.
Follow the wizard all the way through to the end. Don't choose Finish prematurely in this window or any of the other windows.
Save the database using some appropriate name like customers_database.
You'll see the main database configuration window, where you can create tables, queries, forms, and reports.
You don't actually have any data yet, so the next step is to create at least one table.
Step 2: Creating a table
You can create lots of tables for each database. I'm just going to create one for my customer's database.
In the main database configuration work area, select the Tables icon on the left. You can create a table with the wizard or in design view.
If you're a techie type, you might enjoy the design view.
That's a cool view, but I'm sticking with the basics this week; so, I'll walk through how the wizard works. When I double-click the Use Wizard to Create Table option, I get the first window of the wizard. You get a whole bunch of default fields you can use, in multiple sample tables: Employees, Expenses, and more. You can pick and choose, using different fields from the different sample tables. The options here are to provide a quick way to enter an assortment of related fields, such as employee addresses or invoice information and also to give you default data values. Names are always character values, etc.
Select your sample tables, select a field or ten from each, and use the arrows to put them in the Selected Fields list. Be sure to put them in the order you want them, in the Selected Fields list.
Click Next, and the next window lets you change the default data structures, if you're so inclined. It's pretty much a no-brainer; if you cared about control of these values, you'd be in design view. Look at them to make sure they meet some criteria of what you want, then click Next.
The next window lets you choose the primary key. Note that the default value is to create a separate field that is autoincremented and functions only as the primary key. If you like that, great; if not, choose to use an existing unique field or field combination like CustomerID.
In the proceeding window, you will name the table, something like Customer Names, and save it. If you leave Insert Data Immediately and click Finish, you'll get the window where you can enter as little (none) or as much (lots) data as you want. Here's what it looks like.
You'll notice that I didn't put the fields in the right order when I set up the table; Address is the first field. But I'm passing the fruits of my mistakes onto you. Always put your fields in the right order when you create tables; it's helpful here and when you create data entry or data viewing forms.
Start typing away. As you get to the end of the row, you can either click the Save icon on the object bar at the top left to save, or just press Tab and the row will be saved. This means you can close and not worry about saving; it's already saved.
I entered a few rows of data and closed the table. It's listed now in the main database configuration window. You can see the data if you choose document from the dropdown list at the right side of the work area.
Tables are great. But getting more data in there....you're going to do it eventually, and it would be nice not to have to allow all your users to get into the table configuration window to do so. A data entry form would be convenient.
Continue on to part two for the rest of this how-to, and you'll find instructions for creating a data entry form and entering data.

Minnesota deer farm puts $9,400 price on buck's head
VERGAS, MN(AP) — A Minnesota deer farm owner has turned to social media to advertise a chance to shoot a captive trophy buck for $9,400.
Mike Summers of Summers Game Ranch near Vergas tells WDAY-TV Tarzan is 4 years old and won't be bred. So he's offering hunters the change to bag the buck on his 25-acre farm in northwestern Minnesota. He says Tarzan had 30 scorable points last year.
More than 500 Minnesota farms raise deer or elk. Several let hunters pay to shoot trophy animals on their fenced-in property. It's legal, but the sportsmanship remains controversial. John Young of the Clay-Wilkin Deer Hunters Association says he wouldn't want to do it.
Summers says it's not for everyone, but some people would rather hang a mount than a picture on their wall.

Mags... our prayers go out to you in your time of need.
As for me, the newest find was a pair of japanese made walkie-talkie radios for $5... maybe from the 60's. They boasted "9 transistors" on the front label. Well, most of those transistors turned out to be germaniums, which if you know your guitar pedals, are the expensive little basterds that good fuzz pedals are made with. I made a Tonebender MKII fuzz pedal clone out of them... GEEZLOUEEZE!!!! You could rip the wallpaper off the walls with this thing!
Anybody need wallpaper removed in their house?

How to Use the Images
The Thurmond train depot shown on Illustration 1 and and in Photo 2 is approximately 152 feet long and 16 feet wide at the base. It is situated along a set of three tracks.
Questions for Illustration 1 & Photo 2
1. Study Illustration 1 and Photo 2. Do you think the town's geography influenced the depot's architecture?
2. Note the topographic increments on Illustration 1. The elevation gets progressively higher further away from the depot and railway area. Using the scale, calculate the approximate distance in feet from the depot to the rail workers' homes (located above the depot). Why do you think the workers built their homes so far above the tracks? (Students may want to refer to Photo 1.)
3. The signal operator worked on the second floor of the Thurmond depot and coordinated the signals used to tell train engineers to slow down or stop. Examine Photo 2 and locate the windows in the overhanging office. Why was the depot designed with a section extending further out than the rest of the building?
* The illustration and photo on this screen have a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Illustration 1 and Photo 2, but be aware that each file will take as much as 51 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

ROCKFORD — Detectives are investigating the possibility Rockford's latest homicide victim was killed during an armed robbery gone tragically wrong.
Winnebago County Coroner Sue Fiduccia identified the victim as 25-year-old Dujuan Walker of Rockford.
Walker was shot twice at 6:19 p.m. Sunday outside Lee's Dry Cleaners, 947 School St. He was taken by Rockford Fire Department ambulance to Rockford Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 7 p.m.
It is possible he resisted or refused to fully cooperate with two men who attempted to rob him at gunpoint, Deputy Chief David Hopkins said.
Rockford Police Officers responded to a report of a shooting in a parking lot in an area located between a convenience store and the cleaners.
An autopsy confirmed Walker died of multiple gun shot wounds. Toxicology testing was expected to take several weeks.
Hopkins said detectives are also attempting to determine if the incident was connected to another shooting that took place about 3:30 p.m. Sunday in the 900 block of Broadway. A man in his 20s was said to have suffered injuries that were not life threatening.
Anyone with information is asked to call Rockford police at 815-987-5824 or Crime Stoppers at 815-963-7867.

The Voice-Tribune
Google, well, Google, and you'll find much evidence of a culture of collaboration in the corporation's workplace. You'll also find a culture of fun.
Googlers, as they call themselves, "consider each other not just colleagues, but friends and family, too,†according to their website. "We play on Google sports teams together, have happy hours and throw each other birthday parties, baby showers and engagement celebrations – we like spending time together and we have fun and celebrate successes in many different ways.â€
Over the years, those of us in management at The Voice-Tribune have studied Google and listened to what past and present Googlers have had to say about the company's culture. We've adopted some of their practices and made them our own.
When it comes to brainstorming stories, photo projects, events, even simple things like sales fliers, it's not unusual to find Voicers from every department collaborating together.
Sometimes, we spend lunch together outside of the office doing silly things, like skating on the faux ice at Fourth Street Live in costumes (or tutus) or playing bumper cars and Dance Dance Revolution at Gattiland.
We get together during off hours, stay connected via Facebook and Twitter, attend one another's celebrations and involve each other in our outside interests.
On occasion, some or all of us will participate in impromptu photo shoots with Chief Photographer Chris Humphreys, just because. Or, we'll all stop to watch a crazy YouTube video, listen to a new song or play a game of Cards Against Humanity (don't ask) before leaving for the day.
We work hard. We have to. We have a small staff with ever-increasing duties. But, taking time to play – in short increments, not all day – gives us a quick reprieve, generates creativity and it keeps us from taking ourselves more seriously than we should.
Perhaps one of our favorite ways to collectively play is designing a popular movie or television promotional poster using the faces of Voicers and their friends, like the ones pictured here. We hope you enjoy – we sure did.

Try it with Blackberry Brandy sometime. It's pretty awesome, too!

I make this with rum instead of brandy and use 2 cans of citrus punch instead of the lemonade and orange juice. It is delicious. I keep some in the freezer all summer. Just add 7up or Spite and enjoy!

I can't wait for summer to make this- have used peach/ginger tea and it is also yummy- I do leave my tea steep for a while/had better flavor
Dec 11, 2011
Your recipe doesn't include the sugar. You need to divide the water - steep tea in 2 cups boiling water. The rest is mixed with 2 c. sugar until boiling and dissolved; then allowed to cool. Mix everything together and freeze. You can add more brandy - I use 3 cups; this will keep it a bit slushier & the edges won't get so hard like another reviewer said. Variations should include a sweet & a sour - hence the lemon & orange combo.
Aug 8, 2011
Love this! I have had a bottle of brandy sitting in the cabinet for a while now and was so excited to find this recipe. It was very good, perfect for summer. Sounds gross, but I also added a splash of citrus vodka with the soda and it was good also.

I started making this while in college in the 1970's but we used rum instead of brandy. Try it with Blueberrry Vodka.

I've been making this for a long time. I use cherry vodka instead of the brandy for a change.
Jun 6, 2011
Excellent recipe. I've been making it for years. It helps if every couple hours you stir the slush til it's frozen. Otherwise it's extra slushy in the center and hard on the outside.

Walking-Beam Transfer Line Epitomizes Flexibility
VIDEO: Nine-Press Walking-Beam Transfer Line Defines Flexibility at Great Lakes Metal Stamping
The hallmark of any job-shop metal-stamping facility has got to be flexibility—the ability to fit production capabilities to most any job that comes down the pike. While few shops can afford to no-bid too many projects these days, at the same time capital dollars are more precious than ever. That combination of factors has job-shop stampers looking hard at fully utilizing every minute of available press time.
Nothing could be truer for the 50,000-sq.-ft. plant of Great Lakes Metal Stamping (GLMS), located in Cusseta, AL. GLMS, primarily a Tier Two and Three automotive and appliance OEM supplier headquartered in Bridgman, MI, opened its southern plant in 2007 to serve one customer—Benteler. It's since developed an impressive knack of infiltrating the supply chain for the region's automotive and appliance manufacturers.
Case in point: the plant recently took on a big project supplying 30,000 stamped parts per week to Tier One automotive supplier Mando America Corp., in nearby Opelika, AL.
One Big Transfer Press, or an Automated Press Line?
The project in question required GLMS to produce three stampings that Mando assembles into brake boosters for a variety of vehicle platforms. Early in 2012, GLMS president Keith Hettig assembled a team to review its options for stamping the parts. They immediately dismissed progressive dies, he says, because two of the stampings required a hemming operation. So, stamping the brake-booster parts boiled down to either investing in a huge transfer press, or in a series of smaller presses linked with automation. The latter concept won out, after Hettig and the team took a close look at costing, and of course, the goal of optimizing flexibility to position to press shop to be able to take in additional work.
The nine-press transfer line at Great Lakes Metal Stamping features two walking-beam transfer units (AP&T Monobar 80 units)—one links the first five presses in the line (far left) and a second links the last four presses in the lineup. In between (and where the press operator stands in this photo) is an AP&T Shuttle that moves stampings between the two transfer bars. Here it's shown guarded by fencing. Watch it run.
"We looked at robotic transfer and traditional transfer-press technology," says Hettig. "At the time, our decision (on linking the nine presses needed to complete the work) came down to equipment delivery time. We had a tight production schedule, with just a few months provided for testing (scheduled for August 2012); production launched in October 2012."
The nine-press line and its automation equipment (supplied by AP&T) landed at the GLMS plant in July 2012. Featured are nine Seyi mechanical presses—a 275-ton lead press followed by eight 220-ton presses. All sit at the same die height to allow the AP&T walking-beam transfer system (two Monobar 80 units, and an AP&T Shuttle) to easily index stampings down the line. The equipment sits in a new 15,000-sq.-ft. addition on the back of the plant.
Presses Called to Action, As Needed
The three brake-booster stampings comprise a front and rear cover, of 0.029-in.-thick low-carbon steel, that sandwich an 0.045-in.-thick diaphragm plate, also of low-carbon steel. Material feeds from 15,000-lb. coils of stock 13 to 16 in. wide. The front cover requires five dies, run in the first five of the nine presses in the lineup. Stamping the diaphragm requires the first seven presses in the line, while stamping the rear cover requires the full nine-press lineup. Here's where the line's design and the flexibility it affords really pays off. Says agent Mike Gruber (who helped Hettig and his team develop the automated press line), of local industrial sales group Variegate Inc., Huntsville, AL:
"For the past decade it has been common to see four or five C-frame presses in Japanese and Korean plants in the United States lined up in a row with a transfer passing parts between them. Great Lakes Metal Stamping took this idea to the next level, to minimize its overall project cost and be much more flexible than had they invested in a large transfer press. With the two transfers and shuttle, they can run the line as a nine-press transfer or any combination less than nine. It can run as two separate transfers (five-press and four-press) or as a five-press transfer with four hand-fed presses."
The shuttle mentioned by Gruber is an AP&T automation device that sits between presses five and six; the Monobar units link presses one through five, and six through nine. An exit conveyor rides on casters to easily move from the end of the line to between presses five and six. Monobar 80 specs, per AP&T: 39-in. x-axis travel and 8-in. z-axis travel, with a maximum weight capacity of 176 lb. The units mount directly to each press frame.
Complete transfer-line control rests on the shoulders of a Siemens control; cam switches on each press control trigger on-off pulses of lubrication nozzles plumbed sporadically throughout the line, depending on the die arrangement. Each press boasts a Wintriss tonnage monitor. Sensors on the transfer mechanisms look for verification of part presence and vacuum pressure; light curtains guard the front side of the complete 105-ft.-long line.
A Truly Globally Sourced Project
The press line runs at 16 strokes/min. to supply Mando with 10,000 of each of the three stamped parts weekly. That has GLMS changing out the line every 1.5 days, "a 90-min. process that includes changing out the Monobar transfer racks (equipped with vacuum-cup grippers)," explains GLMS general manager Joe Sikes, "and changing out the dies." Die store on nearby racks and move quickly onto and off the presses via rollers and locating pins on the bolsters.
Asked if automating the brake-booster job posed any unique challenges, project manager and plant engineer Ben Jones noted a little tweaking required to take the job from an initial run rate of 8 strokes/min. up to the specified run rate. Jones managed the project from its inception, over a 20-week period.
"Ordering the presses from Taiwan (Seyi, with U.S. operations in Tullahoma, TN), the automation from Sweden (AP&T, with U.S. headquarters in Monroe, NC) and the tooling from China," says Jones, "challenged us to get everyone on the same page, and share specs. In particular, we weren't able to provide detailed drawings or specs for the transfer equipment to our tooling source. That required us to make some adjustments to the tools to allow the transfer system to properly locate the stampings as they go to pick them up and move them station to station."We also, over time, have optimized the transfer-motion profile," continues Jones, "which initially was square and eventually became smoother—more sinusoidal. This allows the transfer system to run faster, only slowing to pick up and place parts. There also is a 'safe zone' that allows each transfer mechanism to start its moves in and out of the press as the press cycles down and up, rather than waiting for the ram to reach top-dead center."

The Fat Loss Factor is a program for weight loss that is developed and maintained by Michael Allen, an expert in the field, that utilized breakthrough techniques; such as calorie shifting and short exercises that will promote rapid weight loss. It is a very effective weight loss system that will shows you
step-by-step exactly how to successfully burn body fat and lose those pounds
using solid principles of a healthy diet and exercise.
The author Michael Allen, claims that by using the techniques included in Fat Loss Factor it is possible to lose 26 pounds of fat in only 7 weeks. It is also claimed that the system will provide the user with significantly more energy, boost their immune system and flatten their stomach.
Fat Loss Factor combines three elements to helps you shed body fat:
1. A correct and healthy nutrition.
2. Proper workout routines to promote accelerated fat burning.
3. Guidelines on developing a powerful mindset for long term weight loss.
Click to Download The Fat Loss Factor Program
How does Fat Loss Factor Work?
The Fat Loss Factor program is based on Michael Allen's combination of strength training and nutritional guidelines. Cardio plays a small role in this program. The main key is how by developing more muscle mass (without getting bulky if you don't want to) you can boost your metabolism and turn yourself into a sort of Fat Loss Factor.
The program begins with a two week detoxing phase which Dr. Allen states helps to clean your body of nasty toxins and makes it easier to shed fat fast.
During those two weeks you need to eat natural foods such as organic fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and so on. This is the toughest part of the entire process, but as it only lasts for two weeks and the benefits may include fat loss, higher levels of energy, better sleep, and reduced food cravings, it may very well be worth the effort.
Fat Loss Factor is the details of how he and his wife managed to shed over 100 pounds of their combined weight. It's also the story of how a person without a formal expertise in fitness and nutrition can find his own way and manage to succeed where the advice of so many experts has failed.
And indeed, this is one of the reasons why Fat Loss Factor appeals to so many men and women. It's a program which people can relate to and Michael Allen is someone with whom you can easily identify.
The program is easy to read and the guidelines are simple to apply. However, this program does require a lot of commitment on your part. You will have to change your eating habits and to workout regularly in order to succeed. If you're not prepared to make an effort, there is little chance of losing weight and keeping it off.

Playing outside until it got dark, having respect for your elders and knowing your neighbours have been
named as some of the best things about being a child 50 years ago – according to the over 60s in Scotland.
New research showed that simple pleasures like climbing trees, collecting shells on a beach and making
dens are what the over 60s in Scotland most treasure about their childhood.
Owning a few toys and playing with them, sweeties costing a penny and playing hide and seek were also listed as cherished memories, the poll by the UK's leading retirement housebuilder, McCarthy and Stone, found.
According to the poll, 57 per cent percent of adults in Scotland aged 60 and above, said it was better being a child 50 years ago, than it is now.
89 per cent said children were much better at making their own entertainment years ago. And 73.9 per cent in Scotland said they learned far more practical skills 'back in their day'. Fortunately, 77.6 per cent of grandparents in Scotland said they passed on their wealth of knowledge to their grandchildren.
Good table manners, riding a bike and how to plant a seed were among some of the skills Granny and Grandad share. As were skimming a stone, knitting and putting up a tent. Over 30 per cent of all Scottish grandparents have taught their children's children to identify plants and flowers and how to polish their shoes.
Lorraine Paterson, sales and marketing director for McCarthy and Stone, which conducted the poll to mark
its 40th anniversary and partnership with older people's charity, Royal Voluntary Service, said: "These
findings illustrate how things have changed in the last 50 years and how grandparents are shaping their
grandchildren's childhoods by sharing their own experiences of growing up.
"They also show that practical skills are being passed down through the generations such as baiting a
fishing hook and cooking a traditional Sunday roast. By passing on these talents the older generation are
ensuring valuable and practical skills won't die out."

WASHINGTON - Hardly any endeavor so unnerves members of Congress as policing each other's conduct. Now, a temporary ethics panel that went in to rescue a troubled investigation of senior Rep. Maxine Waters has emerged with a warning Tuesday to avoid partisan infighting when investigating congressional wrongdoing.
New rules, it said, are needed when potential conflicts of interest arise for lawmakers and their staffs.
In fact, the House Ethics Committee is designed to encourage bipartisan cooperation - it has five members from each political party. But that system suffered a total breakdown by last February, when political bickering caused all five Republicans and the ranking Democrat to step aside from the Waters case to avoid the public perception of a tainted investigation.
The new panel brought in to finish the Waters investigation issued a strong rebuke Tuesday, saying the ethics committee's mission "calls upon members to step out of their partisan framework...." It called for committee members to "constantly evaluate their actions ... to ensure that they are living up to the highest standards of this committee."
The unusual statement comes after the group's findings last week in the case of Waters, D-Calif., second-ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee, who could head that panel if Democrats win back the House.
Acting chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and the top acting Democrat, John Yarmuth of Kentucky, said in a statement that the panel concluded in a 10-0 vote that there was no "clear and convincing" evidence that Waters tried to steer federal bailout money to a bank where her husband is an investor.
The temporary panel also determined unanimously that while Waters undertook efforts to avoid a conflict of interest, her chief of staff and grandson, Mikael Moore, tried to assist minority-owned OneUnited Bank despite his boss' instruction not to do so because of her husband's investment in the bank.
The committee sent Moore a letter admonishing his conduct.
The substitute committee followed the recommendations of Billy Martin, an outside counsel who had to be hired to first investigate the original committee members and then the actions of Waters and her chief of staff. He found the original committee members did not violate House rules.
The turmoil in the committee began in 2010, when former Democratic ethics chairman Zoe Lofgren of California - and the chief counsel she appointed - accused two committee lawyers of communicating their investigative findings only to Republican committee members. Lofgren suspended both lawyers.
When Republicans won control of the House in 2010, and the new Congress took over, Lofgren and the four remaining Democrats then on the committee resigned and all five Republicans remained.
The new Republican chairman, Jo Bonner of Alabama, invited the two staff members back but they declined the offer. Internal documents later surfaced showing that partisanship had been affecting the work of the committee.
Goodlatte and Yarmuth said in their statement that the committee must "be sensitive to appearances that may be created if only particular staff members are routinely relied upon by members of a particular party." Such actions breed distrust that "should raise a red flag" among committee members, the statement said.
The statement said the former chief counsel hired by Lofgren, Blake Chisam, had a partisan background, and recommended that the panel "avoid hiring professional staff who have previously served as partisan staff."
When potential conflicts of interest arise, the panel said the lawmaker should inform all staff members, as well as the entity involved, of the member's decision to step aside from any further involvement - even if the entity is a constituent, the statement said. It added that the House should adopt policies or rules requiring a congressman to immediately notify staff of any financial or other conflicts with constituents.
The temporary panel also took aim at Waters' decision to hire her grandson as chief of staff, saying that "employer-employee relationships with grandchildren can be just as fraught with risk as other familial relationships in the workplace."
Waters has insisted that when she sought a meeting at the Treasury Department to help ailing minority-owned banks, she was doing so on behalf of all minority-run banks that were financially threatened by their investments in troubled mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
OneUnited, where Waters' husband owned stock, eventually received a $12 million bailout but Treasury officials have testified that Waters had nothing to do with that decision.
The key conclusion in the concluding ethics report was that Waters disclosed her financial interest in a public hearing, listed the investment in her public financial disclosure report and told Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., while he was chairman of the Financial Services Committee that she was stepping aside from any legislation involving OneUnited.
"It is the Waters Committee's belief, and hope, that most members understand that they cannot take official actions that would assist a single entity in which the member has a significant interest, particularly when that interest would clearly be affected by the assistance sought," the ethics report said.
"Certainly Representative Waters seemed to understand that principle."

Rosie the Riveter Costume
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Women
This homemade costume for women entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Jennifer, the 'Rosie the Riveter' costume creator:
I (Jennifer Tongate), am wearing the costume in the photos. I wanted a costume that still said "sexy" without showing skin you see on so many, yet is still empowering for women. What better icon than Rosie the Riveter to accomplish this?!
The costume cost me a whopping $3.20. I simply borrowed a friend's work shirt (auto repair), purchased a red bandana and paired it all with a pair of high-waisted jeans I've had for years. For the name badge, I took a red marker, made an outline and in the center wrote "Rosie" and taped it over my friend's name. For a Halloween party I attended, I wore a pair of red pumps to spice it up. The costume even won first place for "sexiest costume"! For Halloween at work as a beauty advisor in a department store, I traded in the red pumps for some old flat heeled riding boots that really fit the part. It was rewarding to receive the compliments from the customers passing by who were a part of the WWII era, when Rosie was such an iconic figure.

I want to resue a control on a form, and change the data in it from a fixed number with 2 decimals to text and back depending on which datasource I am pulling.
The issue I am having is that when I put in straight text - there is a # in the text and in truncates the rest of the string after the #.
I tried to make a custom format me.txt00.Format = "@ " and I am still getting truncated data.
How do I tell the control that it is not a number format or a date format so it stops truncating the text after the #.
I simply made a new control and didn't format it as a number and the data shows up fine.
So how can I go back and forth using the same control?
Will it break on me later if I just use my new control?
Any thoughts or directions would be greatly appreciated.

Anthony Calvillo, Alouettes roll over Roughriders
No S.J. Green. No Brandon London. No Brandon Whitaker.
No problem.
With their top two receivers and starting running back out hurt, the Montreal Alouettes showed their resilience posting 356 yards of net offence in a 34-28 win Saturday over the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Jamel Richardson caught eight passes for 161 yards and third-string tailback Chris Jennings (regular backup Victor Anderson missed the game with injury too) had 125 all-purpose yards as Montreal did just enough to stave off a late Saskatchewan comeback.
"That's all we preach is team-first," said Richardson, who set up Montreal's first touchdown — an 18-yard pass from Anthony Calvillo to Bo Bowling — with a 51-yard grab of his own.
"That's why I was never mad about my production because other guys were stepping up, and right now this is a total team effort."
Richardson was referring to his diminished role in Montreal this year. He led the league in receiving last season with 1,777 yards but entered Saturday's game third on the team and 12th overall with 793.
In his last two games, however, Richardson has caught 11 passes for 270 yards.
"The coaches leaned on me a little bit," he said. "They told me they were going to feed me and I'm hungry. I've been missing the whole season and now it's time to step up and time to win a championship."
Growing lead
The win extended Montreal's lead atop the CFL's East Division by six points over the Toronto Argonauts. The Alouettes (10-6) clinched first place Friday when Toronto lost 44-32 to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Saskatchewan (8-8) meanwhile missed a chance for the second straight week to clinch a playoff berth, though a Hamilton Tiger-Cats loss to the Calgary Stampeders later Saturday would guarantee the Riders at least a crossover spot.
Montreal made the most of the breezy conditions, scoring their first 27 points with the wind at its back
With the wind gusting to over 50 km/h at kickoff, Saskatchewan capped its first possession with a one-yard TD toss from Drew Willy to fullback Graeme Bell. It was Bell's first touchdown since joining his hometown team in 2011 and third overall of his seven-year CFL career.
Montreal took advantage of the wind in the second quarter and put up 13 unanswered points on three consecutive possessions.
Calvillo found Bowling in the end zone in between Sean Whyte field goals of 23 and 52 yards.
But the Riders regained the lead with two minutes left in the first half when Dressler ran a punt back 66 yards for Saskatchewan's first punt return score since Jason Armstead did so in 2007 against the Edmonton Eskimos.
Backup QB Adrian McPherson's one-yard touchdown run in the third quarter gave Montreal the lead for good. He scored at 8:23 of the third after a pass interference call negated a goal-line interception by Chris McKenzie and an unnecessary roughness penalty to Odell Willis set Montreal up at the Riders' three-yard line.
Calvillo rushes
Calvillo then ran in two touchdowns for the first time in his CFL career to cap a run of 21 unanswered points and put the game out of reach. He completed 14 of 26 passes for 256 yards.
"I'm trying to pick up first downs with my feet," said Calvillo. "I told myself I was going to do that as we get closer to the playoffs. It just helps our football team move forward and it just happened to be that I was running close to the end zone."
It was a botched onside punt by Sandro DeAngelis that gave Montreal the ball on the Riders' 45 and set up Calvillo's first score of the game.
They needed all of them too, as Saskatchewan answered back in the final quarter with Dressler's 12th TD grab of the year and Kory Sheets' 10th rushing score.
"We've been challenging ourselves to play consistent football which we have not done," said Calvillo. "We did a decent job last week against Toronto and we wanted to follow up with a great game which today we did."
Riders quarterback Darian Durant went 24-for-40 for 219 yards and one TD.
Sheets ran 10 times for 45 yards but had two late-game passes go through his fingers, and Taj Smith led Saskatchewan's receivers with four catches for 52 yards.
"My biggest concern is to make sure this team is winning football games," said Roughriders head coach Corey Chamblin. "The playoffs don't start today. They start when they start. It's about winning football games.
"Looking too far down the road you can't do anything unless you take care of today and today we have to learn how to win football games."

To use a footballing cliché, Giovani dos Santos looked over the moon after Mexico's 2-0 win over Gabon in their second Group B match in the Men's Olympic Football Tournament.
It had been a while since the diminutive yet incredibly gifted forward had looked so happy, but he had every reason to smile on Sunday after his brace of goals secured his team's first win of the competition and gave them every chance of qualifying for the next round. And all that after only coming on as a second-half substitute.
"It is such a good feeling to be able to help the team today," the affable 23-year-old told FIFA.com exclusively after the game, but this was only half the story. The match was something of a release for Dos Santos, who has had to bide his time before getting a chance to showcase his immense talent on the big stage. It was certainly worth the wait for the Mexican, who looks to have hit top form at the right time. "I think I showed what I'm capable of," he said, "and this is certainly the best way to go about getting a place in the starting XI."
Dos Santos undoubtedly showed how important he can be for his country against Gabon in Coventry, with El Tri looking a much more fluid team once he had come on up front. He was permanently looking for the ball, and whenever he got it, there was danger in the air.
"Having Dos Santos on the bench is such a luxury," said coach Luis Fernando, "and he showed that has really improved in footballing terms. He's fitted in nicely and has always played well whenever he's come on. If he carries on like this, he'll get his opportunity. He needs to get into a rhythm if he's to keep on improving."
After spending a frustrating period waiting for his big chance at Tottenham Hotspur, Dos Santos is eager for more and is desperate to help Mexico finish on the podium of an Olympic Football Tournament for the first time in their history.
"This win gives us so much confidence," he told FIFA.com. "It was incredibly important but now that we're on a roll, I think that we can definitely go on to win a medal." Opposition defenders take note - Dos Santos is on a mission.

A bomb which went off in the southern suburbs of Beirut on Saturday targeted a car used by Hamas members and two people were killed, security sources told Reuters. The news agency also reported that ambulances were at the scene of the blast and barricades shut off the area about 200 meters from where the bomb exploded in a Hizbullah stronghold.
The blast was "the result of three bombs placed under a car whose owner is said to be a member of Hamas," the state NNA news agency said, adding that two people were wounded in the explosion.
"At least two people have been killed and a number of others injured in an explosion in the southern suburbs" of Beirut where the Hizbullah movement has its headquarters, another official told AFP. "The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined," the official added.

Written By: Yale Sports Publicity
NEW HAVEN, CT - Paul Harkins, who has spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach at New Mexico State, has been named men's cross country, middle distance and distance coach at Yale. David Shoehalter, Yale's Mark T. Young '68 Director of Cross Country and Track and Field, made the announcement Monday.
Harkins helped the New Mexico State women's cross country team to the first WAC championship in school history in 2009, just two years after he took over a team that had finished seventh in 2006. He was also a part of the men's cross country team's highest finish in school history -- second place in 2010. The men were coming off a seventh-place finish when Harkins arrived in Las Cruces in 2007. He worked at Brown prior to that.
"After an extensive national search it was clear who our top candidate was," said Shoehalter. "Paul's experience with turning around the program at New Mexico State along with his time working in the Ivy League made him the best possible choice for our program. He's going to hit the ground running, since the cross country season begins in just a couple of weeks!"
Harkins was named the WAC Conference Women's Coach of the Year in 2009 after leading the Aggies to the league title. That same season he coached the WAC Women's Cross Country Freshman of the Year. In 2009 and 2010 he coached the WAC Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Year. All told, Harkins coached five individual WAC champions and 53 all-conference honorees, including the Aggies' first male cross country runner to earn back-to-back all-conference honors since 1971-72. His runners set nine school records and made 60 additions to the school's top 10 list.
Harkins' teams also achieved success in the classroom, as both the men and the women were recognized as USTFCCCA All-Academic teams in 2009 and 2010.
Prior to joining the New Mexico State staff, Harkins spent a season as an assistant at Brown and two seasons as an assistant at Missouri State. He coached at Nathan Hale High School in Seattle, Wash., from 2001 to 2004.
Harkins received a B.A. in economics from the University of Washington, where he ran cross country and track, in 2000. He also has a Master's of Science in health promotion and wellness management from Missouri State.

Wood trying to be a sponge in first Major League stint
ATLANTA -- When Alex Wood took the mound for his Major League debut on Thursday night, the University of Georgia fans in attendance reminded the rest of Turner Field exactly where the Braves left-hander came from, as only they can. Amid all the emotions of his big moment, Wood heard them loud and clear.
"The biggest thing for me was hearing all the Bulldog fans barking out there when I stepped up on the mound a few nights ago," Wood said. "I usually don't pay attention to that too much, but when you hear that, I was trying hard not to smile out there, because it was pretty cool."
After completing his career at the University of Georgia, Wood was selected by the Braves in the second round of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft.
The support from the hometown fans was one of the few familiar things about Wood's first inning in the big leagues. Though Georgia and Georgia Tech have played one game out of their season series at Turner Field every year since 2003, Wood never appeared in the annual matchup in his three years as a Bulldog. The left-hander was a starter throughout his college career and his time in the Minors, but he was called up from Double-A Mississippi on Thursday to add depth to a Braves bullpen that shouldered seven innings of work the night before.
All that newness has led to plenty of learning in the first 72 hours after his callup. While manager Fredi Gonzalez said Wood wouldn't be used as a "traditional reliever" because of his lack of experience out of the bullpen, Wood is looking to learn as much as he can from Atlanta's late-inning regulars as he continues to feel out his new role.
"There's a bunch of great guys. I'm just trying to pick their brains on how they go about their daily routine and stuff," Wood said. "A lot of my stuff will translate over in terms of just taking care of my body, in terms of the running and what they do during the game, when they stretch and how they start getting prepared to go into the game."
Wood faced the minimum in a scoreless ninth inning on Thursday night, getting some help from a pair of crisp defensive plays up the middle by Ramiro Pena and Andrelton Simmons to close out an 11-3 win over the Blue Jays. With Thursday night's appearance, he became the first Bulldog to suit up for the Braves since catcher Clint Sammons, who appeared in 31 games for the Braves between 2007-09.
