By Congressman Robert Hurt
I am pleased to report that last week, for the first time in five years, Congress agreed upon a federal budget. The House of Representatives passed the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 by a vote count of 332-94.
Everywhere you look it is clear that Christmas is here. Christmas carols play on the radio, store windows are filled with elaborate displays, parades make their way down the street, and children line up to meet Santa Claus.
By Steve Everett
With Thanksgiving shortly behind and the constant and continual bombardment of "gotta do this, gotta do that," I find comfort and joy that I can just pause and reflect a few moments on "Christmas As I Remember It."
Perhaps others of my generation who were privileged to grow up in the 1960s-70s era or maybe someone just a little bit older can relate to some of my memories.
Virginia is a blue state now
It's glorious for Democrats to be able to state that as simply as noting the color of the sky or the sea.
Yes, with the Democratic sweep of the 2013 statewide elections, the "Old Dominion" is officially transformed. As I've said previously, this isn't your grandaddy's Virginia.
I don't know what Santa Claus is bringing President Barack Obama for Christmas. Santa was here for the Elks National Home Christmas Lighting and stopped by the Bulletin to pick up some back issues. Our news stories have featured a few folks who I'm sure have made his "naughty" list. He did tell me that he isn't bringing lumps of coal anymore, as coal is too expensive. This year, he's bringing dirty socks.
Throughout the first session of the 113th Congress, the House of Representatives has continued to pursue an agenda designed to create jobs, end economic uncertainty, and make America more competitive in the global economy.
By Frank E. Landrey
What does December mean to you?
December is a month of tremendous depression, tears and sadness. While being a month of multiple parties and loud music, the number of family fights in December tops all other months of the year.
Just before the House of Representatives left for the holiday season, Speaker John Boehner engineered a bipartisan budget deal that was passed 332 to 94. Astounding, but true.
The bill, not thought of as perfect by either side, was easily the most impressive act of the largest chamber of the Congress during a time when most people see it as a desperate failure.
With unemployment remaining unacceptably high across the Fifth District, Congress must focus on passing legislation that will spur job creation for Americans. Fifth District Virginians know that the federal government's role is to promote policies that create opportunities and increase access to capital for our entrepreneurs and small businesses to hire and expand.

Bangladesh's admission to the Asean Regional Forum (ARF) was recommended by the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean).
"(The ministers) welcomed and agreed to Asean's consensus on the admission of Bangladesh as the 26th participant in the ARF," the meeting's final statement said.
Bangladesh's membership will become effective when ARF foreign ministers meet again next year in Malaysia, the statement said.
The Vientiane meeting formally accepted East Timor as the ARF's 25th member.
ARF was established in 1994 to foster dialogue and consultation on political and security issues.
In addition to Asean members Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, it groups the European Union and 14 other nations, including the United States, China and Japan.

Jay Cutler's Injury: Caleb Hanie's Inexperience and What It Means for the BearsNovember 21, 2011
As you've likely already heard, Jay Cutler is likely out for six to eight weeks with a broken thumb that requires surgery.
Coming off a five-game win streak, the Bears were primed to make a run for the playoffs, if not the division. But how do things change now that Cutler will be watching from the sidelines?
Caleb Hanie has played well when called upon, but he has never made an NFL start.
Make no mistake, ladies and gentlemen, there is a big difference between coming in and relieving an injured starter and being that starter.
When a player enters a game in relief, he is facing a team that didn't game-plan for him and that didn't spend the week watching film of him.
In Hanie's case, there isn't much film to watch. He's thrown 14 regular-season passes in his career, leading to eight receptions and one interception.
There is that film of the NFC Championship game from last season, but even that is fairly useless, considering that the Packers didn't game-plan for Hanie. In that game, Hanie went 13-of-20 with a touchdown and two interceptions.
So the league doesn't know much about Hanie, and neither do we.
Here's what we do know. Hanie is a confident kid. His arm is decent, but he's no Cutler. His legs are decent, but again, he isn't Jay. He doesn't have the mobility to escape pressure that Cutler has.
We know that he can make good decisions and some good throws. However, we also know, as BJ Raji and Sam Shields could tell you, he can make some really bad ones, too.
We also know that Mike Martz hasn't ever been sold on Hanie. In fact, Martz was down enough on Hanie to bring in Todd Collins last year and down enough to leave Collins in the second-string position, even after the horrible four-interception effort against the atrocious 2010 Carolina Panthers last season.
Almost immediately upon the world waking up and reading the news of Cutler's injury, we'll see speculation of the Bears looking for another quarterback to bring in.
Don't be fooled. Martz thinks highly of Nate Enderle. The Bears aren't going to chance dropping Hanie. And Jay Cutler will not be placed on injured reserve under any circumstances short of Cutler being absolutely positively certain to be out until after February. And the Bears aren't going to carry four quarterbacks.
But the biggest reason you can forget the Bears adding a QB is this: There isn't anyone available to play that is assured to be a better gamble than Hanie.
Who are they going to bring in? They can't trade for another team's backup as the trade deadline is long passed. So that leaves little out there.
Are the Bears going to try to talk Chad Pennington and his busted shoulder or Marc Bulger and his busted head out of retirement?
Behind them, the cream of the crop would be JP Losman, Charlie Frye, Jim Sorgi or Jake Delhomme. Would the Bears sink that low?
God forbid, would this be the time we start hearing about the possibility of another Brett Favre return to the NFC North for one last chance to crush the dreams of his former team and ruin his chances of ever mending the fences in Green Bay?
Even worse, could Martz still have Todd Collins' phone number?
The speculation will be out there, but it will die down quickly.
So what does this all mean?
The Bears won't panic here. Remember 2005? Kyle Orton was hot garbage on fire. But the Bears set him up to manage games and they won 10 straight with Orton at the helm.
Hanie might be an unknown, but he can't be worse than a rookie Kyle Orton. He's shown the poise and guts to lead. And Mike Martz can plan a game around his weaknesses. And remember that Hanie is as unknown to the league's defensive coordinators as he is to us, which makes him hard to game-plan for.
It is often said that it takes around five to six straight games to get enough film on a quarterback to accurately portray them as a player and build a somewhat reliable game plan for them. Think Grossman in 2006. After teams got five games of film on him, they were picking him apart. But before that point, he was the NFC offensive player of the month for September 2006 and was widely—and prematurely—being discussed as the league's future MVP.
Well, teams don't have film on Hanie. And they have no idea what Martz will do with Hanie. This gives the Bears an additional advantage, as long as Hanie and Martz can execute and capitalize on it.
Fear not, Bears fans. The Bears are still in playoff contention and they still have a serious shot at a deep playoff run.
This team is still led by a turnover machine of a defense and the best special teams unit in football. The offense still has Matt Forte and Marion Barber. And Hanie proved he could move the ball down the field against the best team in the league in the highest pressure situation imaginable last year in the NFC Championship Game. He's inexperienced and raw. But he has good potential and has been sitting behind Jay Cutler for two-and-a-half years learning and growing.
The Bears will be alright. And Cutler may be back for the playoffs.

by Rachel Reynolds
as told to Julie Weingarden Dubin
On January 20, 2009, while Barack Obama was taking the oath of office, we learned that our 3-year-old daughter had an orange-size tumor in her brain. Two days later, she had a surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. Once the pathology returned, we learned it was a primitive neuroectodermal tumor, or PNET — a type of brain tumor that is very rare and very aggressive. Over the course of that year, Charlotte had three more brain surgeries, multiple rounds of chemotherapy, proton radiation, and other various treatments.
Unfortunately, despite intervention from some of the best doctors in the country, the tumor continued to grow. On January 7, 2010, Charlotte's body finally succumbed to the tumor that had invaded her spine and central nervous system. Charlotte was almost 4 1/2 when she passed away peacefully at our home.
I work full-time as a principal of a private school for kids with autism, and I'm used to helping others, but it was difficult to learn how to welcome help from people when Charlotte, my only child, was ill.
Roger and I were amazed by the support that we found in our community. It came in large acts of kindness, such as the freezer the parents from Charlotte's preschool bought us for storing extra food. It came in airplane tickets bought to help with our travel expenses, food brought to our door many nights, and the donations (large and small) that people made to help with our daughter's medical care. It also appeared in small acts: the anonymous plate of cookies left on our doorstep, or the offers to babysit Charlotte so that Roger and I could continue working. It came in simple notes that said, "I'm thinking about you." There was never a time when we didn't feel supported by our community.
I've always thought of myself as an optimistic person. Losing Charlotte has definitely been the darkest and lowest period in my life. I move forward one step at a time. I find strength in knowing that my daughter endured more in her short life (medically) than her father and I have in our combined (almost) eighty years. When you face challenges like these, you do have a choice. It's never easy, but you can move forward by taking small steps. That's how I cope.
Charlotte loved to sing and read books. She just wanted to soak up life and experience it completely. Charlotte taught me how to see the world like a child and appreciate the time that we have.
I realized after Charlotte died that I could turn my thoughts and feelings about our journey into something that may help others. I wrote the book, Four Seasons for Charlotte: A Parent's Journey with Pediatric Cancer, hoping that it helps families experiencing challenging times like ours, but I also hope that it can provide insight for medical providers, community members and the many other team players who are called upon to support families in their time of need.
Even before Charlotte's brain tumor was deemed terminal, we knew that we wanted to give back to the community as a way to thank everyone for the tangible, monetary and spiritual support we received. We created CJ's Thumbs Up Foundation (CJSTUF) in Charlotte's honor to pay-it-forward and help others in need. CJSTUF supports families in situations like ours by providing financial assistance grants (in $500 increments) to families of children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. We also partner with other community organizations to provide healthy meals to caregivers in the hospital and other emergency assistance when we can.
Roger and I are encouraged and uplifted by our community. Friends and strangers surrounded us in our time of need. Through the foundation, we can be a lifeline of support for as many families as possible. We've turned our grief into something positive and we're here to help other parents in Charlotte's honor.
Accept help! As moms, we are always doing things for others and we tend to put our needs at the bottom of the list. I learned very quickly that I couldn't do everything. There were many people willing to help, and I needed to accept that help.

Ask a Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi, welcome to Just Answer. I will help you with your question.
Why does your employer want a CRB check?
We have a new Practice Manager and wants everything done by the book. We all have to do one
Okay. It's best to comply with this type of request and allow them to obtain a DBS/CRB check as a failure to do so, may permit the employer to dismiss.
If there is a legitimate reason, it would likely be viewed a reasonable requirement under your contract of employment to obtain the check, and in fact, your employment contract might require this anywya.
so can u tell me then does is get wipped off after 5 years or not
It does not get wiped off after 5 years and could remain there indefinitely under current rules.
I have already done the dbs on line but im worried what might come out and also I have to sign a form stating that I have not committed any offences.
our contract doesnot same anything about this
Is there not something about following the employers reasonable instructions?
Or words to that effect?
not too sure I wud have to check.. I am willing to comply but worried now if it comes to light is it grounds for dismissal ?
Even if not, that type of term would be employed anyway into a contract of employment.
It's not likely to be grounds for dismissal so long as you didn't lie when you were asked about convictions when you applied for the job.
I was never asked
Then I expect you should be okay.
If it was revealing offences involving children, then I could see some merit in saying that this was a problem. But, this is a different thing, and you have served your punishment, and so you're as entitled as anybody to look for work again. I don't think this should necessarily impact upon you working in a Drs surgery.
I feel kind of nervous saying "u think" this would have any impact. Ive been told by associated that this is the case, that is why I am asking for legal advice.
At the end of the day, its up to your employer what to say and whether it dismisses you - you cannot stop them doing that if they choose to. However, if they do, then you're going to likely claim for unfair dismissal. So, nobody can guarantee what effect it might have or not on your job as this is down to the people that employ you, but my feeling is that they will not dismiss you due to the risk of you suing then for unfair dismissal.
so if thats all you can say is you think I do not feel this is an adequate answer. thank u
I dont understand your point?
How can I tell you what your employer will choose to do?
Can you help me understand your point?
If I went to a solicitor in an Office I would hope to come out and feel satisfied and secure with their answers .... yours do not as you say " think" all the time which I cannot feel comfortable with. soirry
How about "I believe"?
And I used the therm "I think" once.
There is no guaranteed answer as I have no crystal ball. I cannot tell you what your employer will do.

My doctor is pretty adamant I should work from home or, at the very least, in town. Due to, yes, the vertigo. Which seems to have a bit of a mileage meter on it. Ten minutes of drive time and I am fine. Over that and it is pushing it and will generally trigger mild, moderate to severe vertigo. The more I do it, the worse it gets. One of the reasons I had to go on leave was it was getting to the point bouts were severe and I couldn't, in fact, drive to get to work.
This is a problem for me. I tried to do as she said. I looked and looked and looked some more. I applied. And nada came of it.
It is a pickle since there isn't actually any way to treat the vertigo. It is vestibular migraines and that is that. I have tried preventatives in the past but my response record to preventatives is pretty nill. Botox is working well for me though, just not for vertigo. Just for intensity of pain really. And neck pain.
I am short on time for a solution though. There may simply not be a viable one.

The banner year for North Adams basketball at all levels continued on Saturday, Feb. 13 as the finals of the Southern Hills Athletic Conference Tournament came to Seaman and the second game of the evening pitted Coach Shannon Staggs and his seventh grade Lady Devils on their home floor to face the Fairfield Lady Lions in the SHAC championship contest. It was a match up of the top two records in the SHAC regular season standings, with North Adams going unbeaten at 7-0 in conference play, while the Lady Lions went 6-1.
The Lady Devils had moved to the title game with an easy 46-12 win over Eastern, while Fairfield had advanced with lopsided wins over West Union and Lynchburg. Now, with the title trophy on the line, the two faced off in what turned out to be a rather lackluster affair, but still a crowning moment for Coach Staggs and his girls as they knocked off the Lady Lions 51-35 to finish off the SHAC sweep of regular season and tournament.
"I am very proud to be a part of a great program here at North Adams," said Coach Staggs. "I am very proud of both of our junior high teams for all of their hard work. It was a lot of fun to be coaching in the championship game, but we have to always remember how we got there with player development and getting our system put in."
"I'm already looking forward to next season with these upcoming eighth graders and a new bunch of seventh graders."
Though there were times when they didn't look real sharp. the Lady Devils were never really seriously challenged in this seventh grade title game, against a Fairfield squad with only five available players. With Delaney Harper dominating inside the paint and racking up 9 first quarter points, North Adams jumped to a 17-10 advantage after one.
The status quo was held in the second period as both teams scored 12 points, with the Lady Devils getting three-point goals from Karissa Buttelwerth and Wylie Shipley to lead at the half 29-22.
Holding serve on their home court, the Lady Devils scored 10 points in the third quarter, six of them from Shipley plus baskets by Brooklyn Tolle and Harper. The stubborn Lady Lions score 8 of their own and after three quarters of play, North Adams still led 39-30.
The fourth quarter was a matter of just holding on and maintaining their advantage and the Lady Devils performed that task admirably, outscoring Fairfield 12-7 to start the celebration as SHAC champions, winning the final game by the final count of 51-35.
North Adams finishes the season at 14-1, just a single basket from an undefeated season as their only defeat of the year was a 27-26 loss to Wheelersburg.
In the tournament final win, the Lady Devils placed two girls indouble figures, Delaney Harper with 17 points and Wylie Shipley with 13. Karissa Buttelwerth added 8 and Marah Call 7 for the champions.
Fairfield's Smamra Cannon led all scorers with 20 points.
FJH (35): Hattan 2 1-2 5, Cannon 7 6-9 20, Crum 5 0-0 10, Team 14 7-11 35.
NAJH (51): Shipley 6 0-4 13, Buttelwerth 1 5-6 8, Call 3 0-0 7, Robinson 1 0-0 2, Tolle 2 0-0 4, Harper 7 3-6 17, Team 20 8-16 51.

Boston fans are a bit emotional when it comes to their team's success. They may be even moreso than usual because of what happened during the Stanley Cup Finals a couple of months ago. The Bruins were up 2-1 and just minutes away from winning the Cup in Game 6 when the unthinkable happened. The Blackhawks scored twice within 90 seconds to snatch the championship and the souls of the many watching.
So there's probably going to be a few fans watching this World Series between the Red Sox and Cardinals with fragile hearts. This means there were a few hurt feelings after that obstruction call that gave the Cardinals the run and the win. Fans love to express themselves on Twitter, of course. Let's see what happens on this Twitter Reaction.

Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore (Paperback)
Staff Reviews
An unemployed web designer takes a job working the night shift at Mr. Penumbra's. He is given one absolute rule: not to read the books. He can't resist and ends up swept into a Pynchon-like conspiracy. TImely & engrossing.— Keith
October 2012 Indie Next List
"Booksellers and book lovers alike will adore charming Mr. Penumbra and his towering stacks of mysterious, code-filled tomes, as well as the array of eccentric old men that make up the store's late-night clientele. I now want to keep a log of our bookshop's customers by Mr. Penumbra's criteria: 'You must keep precise records of all purchases. Time. Amount. The customer's appearance. His state of mind. How he asks for the book. How he receives it. Does he appear to be injured. Is he wearing a sprig of rosemary on his hat. And so on.' Wonderful!"

Our Brewer HaploGroup I2b1c
Our Brewer family ancestral Haplogroup descendancy
A haplogroup is defined as the group of all the male descendants of the single person who first showed a specific rare mutation on the Y-chromosome called a Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP, pronounced snip) which may occur once in a period of tens of thousands of years. Haplogroups represent branches of a genetic tree for Homo Sapiens and every male in the world can be located on one branch or another based upon the specific Y-chromosome mutation he carries. The major branches of the Y-DNA tree of Homo Sapiens are labeled A through R. These major branches have additional branches where a haplogroup is broken down into sub-haplogroups. SNP tests taken to determine the haplogroup of the descendants of Johannes Brouwer show that the Elias Brouwer and John Brewer lines belong to the haplogroup now designated I2b1c, in particular haplogroup I, subgroup 2-b, clade 1c. NOTE: the subgroup 2-b designation was adopted by the Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC) in May 2008. It was previously designated as 1-c. In 2008. Researchers led by Dr. Hammer published an updated Y-chromosome haplogroup tree in "Genome Research" and in May 2008 Family Tree DNA adopted the updated nomenclature of that publication. While the name of the haplogroup branches changed, and will continue to change as new branches are discovered, the test results and interpretation remain the same. Further information may be found at
Sept 8, 2010: I2b1 has been further subdivided into 5 subgroups, one of which is I2b1c
The Haplogroup of the Jan Brouwer descendants is I2b1c based on being positive for SNP P78. Further, the 67 marker Y-DNA test results show the Jan Brouwer descendants have a unique and very rare allele value of 7 at STR DYS565. Typical values are 9 to 14, the value of 7 only occurs in about 0.01% of the population and defines the Family branch of Jan Brouwer within the general I2b1c clade. For further detail on this unique allele value click here. I2b1c has the highest frequency in Germany, Netherlands, Denmark and England. The distributions of haplogroup I2b1 comprises less than 10% of the total Y-Chromosome diversity of all populations outside of Lower Saxony and seems to correlate fairly well with the extent of the historical influence of the Germanic peoples, being found in over 4% of the population in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
Sequence of SNP mutations that define our Haplogroup I-2b, and their date of occurrence:
M168 (C->T) 60, 000 ya ( years ago) out of North Africa->Middle East
Defines the common ancestor of every non-African person
-> M89 (C->T) defines Super Haplogroup F, 45, 000 years ago, origin Middle East
represents 90-95% of all non-African populations
-> M170 (A->C), defines Haplogroup I, 22, 000 years ago, origin Europe
During the Gravettien and Solutreen age
-> P38 defines HgI-2 followed by our specific Brewer family mutation,
-> M223 (C->T) defines HgI-2b, 15, 000 years ago, origin S. France
During the Magdalenian Age
HgI-2b today: principle locations -- Netherlands, N. Germany, S. Scandinavia.
principle languages -- Germanic (Dutch, German, English, Scandinavian)
Population genetics provides the means to read a record of ancient human migrations in the DNA of living people. The human genetic code, responsible for features such as eye color, hair type, etc., also contains stretches of code with no apparent function at all. Once in many thousands of years, a harmless SNP mutation can occur in one of those functionless stretches which is then passed down to all of that person's descendants. Generations later, finding that same mutation, or marker, in two people's DNA indicates that they share the same ancestor. By comparing markers in many different populations, it is possible to trace their ancestral connections and discern when and where different groups of people seperated as they migrated around the world. This is a project goal of the current Genographic project headed by Dr. Spenser Wells, and one that you may participate in as a member of the Brewer surname project at FTDNA. More information about the Genographic project and how to join can be found at www.familytreedna.com/ftdna_genographic.html
Our "Deep Time" Genetic Journey:
Our own male line of ancestors (some 700 generations of descendants of the genetic founder of our haplogroup) goes back 15, 000 years from the present to our prehistoric origins in a cave in southern France during the Last Ice Age. There, we discover our family "Adam," the individual who was first marked with a Y-chromosome mutation called M223 and who founded the northwestern European population group designated Haplogroup I-2b.
The genetic mutation at marker M223 that defines our haplogroup I-2b is the latest mutation in a genetic journey that began with one of the earliest mutations 60,000 years ago when, in one individual, the common ancestor of every non-African person in the world, a random DNA transcription error occurred at a location on the Y-chromosome called M168. We Brewer family males, in common with all non-Africans, now carry that mutation at that specific location in our DNA. Similarly, 45,000 years ago, a new mutation occurred in an ancestor in the Middle East which is designated M89 and which marks about 90-95% of all non African populations. Another mutation, designated M170, occurred 22,000 years ago in an individual in Europe and the descendants of that man are now grouped into what is called Haplogroup I. Then, 15,000 years ago in southern France, our Brewer ancestor passed on a SNP mutation called M223, forming a subgroup within the Haplogroup I called 2-b. We male Brewers in the Johannes Brouwer family lines now carry all the above markers, and so, according to the current (2008) classification adopted by the Y-Chromosome Consortium (YCC), we are assigned to Haplogroup I-2b -- which lineage, as mentioned earlier, is believed to have its roots in southern France. Today it is found most frequently within Viking/Scandinavian populations in Northwestern coastal Europe, principally in the Netherlands and northern Germany.
When the modern humans from whom we descend migrated north from the Middle East and were replacing Neanderthals, the continent was significantly colder than it is today. Around 29, 000 years ago the last Ice Age began and the weather became even colder with glaciers pushing south until they were within a few hundred miles of today's Amsterdam, Moscow, and Stonehenge. At the height of the last Ice Age, between 20, 000 and 16, 000 years ago, modern humans were forced to leave northern Europe, abandoning what is now Britain, northern France, the Low Countries (i.e. Netherlands), and Germany. These proto-Europeans retreated to warmer areas in southern France and Spain around the Pyrenees and to the Balkans north of the Black Sea. All human habitation ceased above the line of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Then, about 14, 000 years ago, as the Ice Age ended and the ice began to retreat, resettlement resumed and the survivors of the glacial period, including our direct paternal ancestors, slowly moved back into northern Europe, reclaiming the areas we call the Netherlands, England and northern Germany.
Some 15,000 years ago, about 1,000 years prior to the end of the Ice Age and resettlement, our paternal ancestor became the first male to carry a mutation in the nucleotide sequence of his Y-chromosome, known today as marker M223 where, during the transcription of the Y-DNA code, there was a substitution of a "T" (thymine) where previously there had been a "C" (cytosine). It was a mutation that would not have any physical consequence for the boy, but it would mark him and his male descendants forever as a special group; diverging from the genetic signature we call M170, or Haplogroup I, carried by his father and his earlier paleolithic European-specific ancestors by the addition of this new marker. The descendants of this boy increased in number until they would eventually come to represent 18% of today's total European Gene pool, forming the group to whom we give the designation Haplogroup I-2b. It is from this boy, the originator of the M223 genetic marker mutation, that our Brewer paternal family line traces its specific lineage.
Of the three main areas of refuge from the Last Glacial expansion, two of them recolonized the nordic populations of Scandinavia -- which, as mentioned above was completely depopulated during the last Ice Age:
1) the Iberian Peninsula/southern France (which was the source locale of our male founder of the M223/Hg I-2b subgroup, as well as a later branch designated M253/Hg I-1b), and
2) the Ukraine/Central Russian Plain (who also represent the M253/Hg I-1b subgroup ). A third group comprised the P37/HgI-2a subgroup, which, isolated from the others, persisted in the area of present-day Austria, the Czech Republic, and the northern Balkans.
About our early European ancestors
We do not know what language our subgroup founder spoke but his early ancestors, 26, 000 years ago, spoke a proto-Indo European language representative of the Gravettian culture that had spread across Europe from the river Don in Western Russia. When the Glacial Maximum forced his European hunter forefathers into the geographically separate refuges, the isolation and increased local interaction gave rise to the emergence of the three Indo-European language families in Western Europe -- Italic (including today's Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese), Germanic (including English, Dutch, German and Scandinavian languages), and Celtic. By the time of our M223 mutation, between 16, 000 and 14, 000 years ago, both the HgI-2a and HgI-2b haplogroups migrating north from southern France apparently spoke an early form of Germanic language which they carried to the areas of England, Germany, and southern Scandinavia. Many of the ancient river names of Germany, France, and England -- such as "Rhine," "Rhone," and "Thames" -- appear to arise from a common system of naming, and although these names are Celtic in form, they do not appear to be Celtic in origin. There has been a great deal of lively argument as to what this "Old European" language might have been, but it is widely accepted that it was Indo-European and most likely an early form of Germanic. These Haplogroup I subgroups played a central role in the process of human recolonization of Europe from the isolated refuge areas. The first to repopulate the northern European plains were Magdalenian [Note 1] reindeer hunters from southern France. The Brewer family haplogroup I-2b formed a part of the Magdalenian population. They developed new technologies, such as spear throwers around 14, 000 years ago and by that time they had reached England (which was then attached to the continent, due to lowered sea levels), the Netherlands, and Germany. A thousand years later, they had also pushed north into Denmark and southern Sweden and east as far as Poland and southern Lithuania .[Note 2]
The clan, or community into which our M223 "Adam" was born, probably consisted of between 20 to 50 people at most, and the population density at that time was on the order of one person per 15-50 square kilometers, no more. This means that each community in the refuge areas controlled and hunted in an area between 750 to 2,500 square kilometers. Even though this is a sparse density in today's terms, it represented a period of far more social crowding than before and the result was one of great innovation, as we have seen. In spite of the slow reproductive start, we have noted above that our ancestor's offspring would eventually produce a family line that was responsible for 18% of northwestern Europe's population, in particular the Netherlands, northern Germany, and parts of Scandinavia --- and would make up much of the later highly mobile pre-Roman Celtic tribes that were centered initially between the North Sea, the Seine, the Rhine, and the Danube, as well as the populations that later comprised the main Germanic tribes in Western Europe i.e. the Saxons, Angles, Jutes, Frisians, Franks, Goths and Vandals.
After the migration into the north country, and about 7, 000 years ago, our Brewer family ancestors were confronted with a new and dramatic change of lifestyle, referred to today as the Neolithic revolution, and they eventually had to choose between continuing the life of their hunter-gatherer fathers, or adapting to newly imported techniques of agriculture and accepting the cultural modifications such a move would entail. After the conclusion of the Upper Paleolithic (or Mesolithic) about 10, 000 years ago, began a period called the Neolithic, which in Europe is strictly associated with the appearance of agriculture. The introduction of farming and animal domestication did more to transform mankind's way of life than anything before or since. It created permanent, settled communities -- the beginning of civilization as we now understand it.
For nearly a thousand years a clear frontier existed, [Note 3] a boundary where to the east and south of the line were farmers and scattered bands of hunter-gatherers and to the west and north were hunter-gatherers, including a good part of our Brewer family Hg I-2b population, who, as they began to experiment with agriculture, also began constructing immense stone megaliths. Those monuments were large stone dolmens (burial chambers with vertical flat stones capped by flat stones placed horizontally) or menhirs (tall standing stones), and appeared in the regions along the Atlantic coast of Europe from the Iberian Peninsula to Denmark, and along the western coasts of England and Ireland. Stonehenge in England is the most famous example.
It is quite certain that our Brewer family progenitors encountered and understood the significance of these monuments. They likely participated in the construction of one or more. These 4,000-5,000 year old megalithic stone graves and structures from the Neolithic lie in a belt, which stretches from east of the Netherlands, over Westphalia, Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Saxonia-Anhalt; exactly where the majority of our Haplogroup I-2b lived, and still live, and so encompassed the area in which our Brewer family ancestor of that period lived, fathered, and raised his family.
Because agriculture supported higher population densities than the old foraging techniques, populations rapidly increased and by about 3, 000 years ago (1, 000 BC) there were about two persons per square kilometer. Over the territory of the present Netherlands, there must have been about 80, 000 inhabitants. I am assuming that our Brewer family ancestors settled there and made up part of that population; alternatively, they may have settled in northern Germany and eventually migrated further northward to the Netherlands. Either way, they were soon to become part of the Celtic culture. In the first millennium BC, the Netherlands were invaded by Celts, a people who were successful farmers and excellent copper smiths. They were descendants of the Iron Age communities that were named for Hallstatt in western Austria and La Te`ne in Switzerland.
The Celts were, and still are, a conglomeration of peoples speaking a series of related languages. They are a linguistic group, not really a national, ethnic, or racial one. The Celts laid great store on language and on the culture which the language conveyed. The early Celtic heartland, around 2, 800 years ago ( 800 BC) has been determined to be in the region of the upper reaches of the Rhine, the Rhone, and the Danube, These rivers still retain the Celtic names. [Note 4] The Celtic influence was spread not only by movement of people but also by the export of culture and language. In the last centuries of the first millennium BC the Celts acted as middlemen to the expansion of trade between the Mediterranean and the people of the north and west, trading wine, salt, swords and fine jewelry with the growing Roman Empire. The Celtic community reached its peak from 400 BC (2, 400 years ago) to 200 BC. [ Note 5] Although Celtic was the "Lingua Franca" of the time, the northern German and Netherland tribes, Anglo-Saxon and Franks, retained their germanic language. Our Brewer ancestors likely spoke both a Celtic dialect and early Dutch or German.
The Low Countries [Note 6] , inhabited by Celts and Germanic peoples, were on the eastern border of Celtic Gaul, the Roman province of Gallia. The land south of the Rhine was brought under Roman rule in 51 BC by Julius Caesar as governor of Gaul. The Frisii and Batavi were within the Empire as part of the province of Germania Inferior from AD 14 but the Saxons to the north of the Rhine remained independent. The Frisians and Saxons were among the Germanic tribes who invaded Britain after the Romans left, many of them settling permanently and establishing new kingdoms.
A wave of Goths passed through the Netherlands around 400 AD, followed by Huns around 450 AD, and by the Germans around 800 AD. Both Frisia and Saxony were eventually incorporated into the Frankish Empire and converted to Christianity. As the Empire was weakened by Viking and Magyar raids, Frisia became divided into Hainault, Brabant and Upper Loraine. Like Saxony, they were part of the Kingdom of Germany after the 10th century (900 AD) and remained within the Holy Roman Empire despite French annexation of neighboring Flanders. Local feudal lords, headed by the Count of Holland and the Bishop of Utrecht, were almost independent although they owed allegiance to the Holy Roman Empire. In the late 14th century and early 15th, the Dukes of Burgundy built up a chain of territories which included the 17 separate provinces of the Low Countries, some of the richest lands in Europe and presumed ancestral home of our Brewer family.
In 1500 AD, the population of the geographic region of the Netherlands counted between 900, 000 and 1, 000, 000 inhabitants. This number increased to 1.85 million people in 1650, and then growth came almost to a standstill. During the 1500's the Protestant Reformation spread through the Low Countries. There was widespread persecution of the Protestants in an attempt to stop the threat to the Roman Catholic church. In 1566, 1572 and 1576, the Dutch rebelled against the central government of Philip II in Spain which they feared was destroying their traditional liberties. The seven northern provinces were united as the Northern Provinces by the Union of Utrecht in 1579 and armed opposition continued until 1609, forcing Spain to recognize them as independent and they became the Dutch Republic under the Treaty of Westphalia. The remaining area to the west, now Belgium and Luxembourg, was reconquered by Spain and was known as the Spanish Netherlands. These events would have occurred during the lifetimes of the father (b~ 1600), grandfather (b ~ 1570) and great grandfather (b~ 1540) of our first documented ancestor, Johannes Brouwer (b ~1632). The great grandfather of Johannes was likely to have been the first of the family to be referred to by the surname Brouwer, acknowledging his occupation as the brewer of ales for his village. They were all likely to have been Protestants, and we know our Johannes was a member of the Protestant Reformed Dutch Church.
17th century Netherlands and our Brouwer surname.
Around 1632 our first historically documented direct ancestor was born; Johannes Brouwer. He was presumably born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, though it is possible he was born in northern Germany and immigrated first to Amsterdam before later emigrating to America. He emigrated to New Amsterdam (New York), in 1657 under the auspices of the Dutch West India company. He was by trade a Blacksmith, though his surname, Brouwer, indicates that in the past, when family surnames were adopted, perhaps by 1500 AD, his ancestor was by occupation a brewer. As mentioned earlier, the great grandfather of Johannes was likely born around 1540 AD and so may have been the first of our ancestors to use the surname Brouwer. Surnames were first adopted in Europe in northern Italy around 1000 AD and the practice gradually spread northward into the Germanic regions and eventually to all of Europe. By 1500 AD the use of occupations for family names, such as Brauer (brewer), was more common in German speaking regions than in almost any other culture, and in the Netherlands the Dutch name would be Brouwer (brewer). Both names are pronounced identically, as the English would pronounce "Brow-er". Brouwen in Dutch is the verb "to brew" as is Brauen in German, and the suffix -"er", added to the stem indicates "one who brews" . Before 1500, communities were so small that everyone would know who "Johannes" was so it is unlikely that any of our ancestors had any need for a surname to distinguish themselves. Johannes, pronounced as in English "Yo-hannes" was a Dutch forename taken from the Bible, meaning "John" in English (as in John the Baptist of the New Testament), and the diminutive of Johannes was Jan. In Dutch, sons were often referred to with "sz" attached to the diminutive of the father's forename, so John's son, would be "Jansz" and when he was grown he would be called Johannes Jansz Brouwer, signifying John, John's son. This fact is used by some to conjecture that since our ancestor Johannes Brouwer did not use such a patronymic, that he was possibly not of Dutch origin but German. Until further data is available as to who the father of Johannes was and where he lived, I will continue to assume that Johannes was Dutch, born in Amsterdam, where we know he was married to Jannetje Jans and where their daughter, Jannetje Jansz, was born before the family emigrated to America.
We have now reached the age of historic record of our ancestor, having traversed some 15, 000 years and between 600 and 750 generations of our family.
[1] The Magdalenian, refers to one of the later cultures of the Upper Palaeolithic in western Europe. It is named after the site of La Madelaine in the Dordogne region of France. Originally termed the age of the reindeer the Magdalenian is synonymous with reindeer hunters although Magdalenian sites also contain extensive evidence for the hunting of red deer, horse and other large mammals present in Europe towards the end of the last ice age. The culture spans the period between c. 18,000 and 10,000 BP (Before the Present), towards the end of the last ice age. The later phases of the Magdalenian are also synonymous with the human resettlement of northwestern Europe after the Last Glacial Maximum. The Magdalenians are known for their elaborate worked bone, antler and ivory which served both functional and aesthetic purposes. Cave sites such as the Lascaux contain the best known examples of Magdalenian cave art. The earliest Magdalenian sites are all found in France.

[6] The Low Countries: Comprising the lands around the Rhine delta and extending north to the Frisian coast, these regions have had an influence on European and world history all out of proportion to their size, owing to their strategic location and the patient enterprise of the inhabitants. East (German) Frisia and West (Dutch) Frisia are coastal regions in the northern Netherlands, extending into Germany as far as the mouth of the Weser. The Frisian people have lived on these sandy strands for ages, and are notable to speakers of English as having the language most closely related to English. This is unsurprising, as these are the shores from which the Anglo-Saxons embarked upon their conquest of Britain.

Determining Healthy Hoof Proportions
How to get as close as possible on almost any hoof, using the plexiglass guide as a tool.
by Sabine Kells
Includes the Hoofcare Professional Angle Guide Template (updated) from THH 63
This article is intended to briefly touch on some of the basics behind hoof form, and give the parameters common to every healthy hoof: certain values which are determined by the anatomy every equine shares and are non-negotiable if hoof health is to be maintained. These common parameters were noticed by Dr. Strasser in the course of nearly 40 years of research studying live horses and cadaver hooves of various breeds all around the world. This article also offers a tool which may be used to help guide the trimmer's eye in how to best shape a misshapen hoof into the proper proportions, or as close as the amount of horn available will allow. ...Click here to read the rest of the article...

If the proposal was initially only that, and it was a potential plan that the employer was going to implement, then you could have still raised a grievance but until the employer knew it was actually going to go ahead they may have been unable to hear your grievance properly and it may have been pointless in doing so in the event that it did not actually go ahead.
The issue is that apart from an internal grievance, you cannot challenge their decision at this time. A tribunal cannot hear your complaint and issue a judgment at the present time. You can only take your case there once your employment has terminated. You would then be able to try and argue for unfair dismissal, or if you resign first it would be for constructive dismissal, but you must have left the company first before you can get to a tribunal. So that is why at this stage you cannot take your case anywhere and have a third party getting involved with the employer's internal affairs and any proposals they are putting forward.
Hope this clarifies your position? If you could please let me know that would be great, thank you

When we put this pair of Fran Roxas-built V-16 Cadillacs on the cover of the June 2012 issue of Hemmings Classic Car, it began a fun and surprising chain of events. While they're not unknown cars, they've kept a low profile for decades in a private collection. Their gestation is a complicated story, but they were created after a group of designers including Strother MacMinn saw drawings in period Fleetwood catalogs, and built the two cars that never were. They emerged for RM's Milhous Collection auction last winter, then once again got tucked away.
That's why they were such a surprise when Clay Dean saw his copy of HCC. Clay is a GM employee… well, that's perhaps too modest. He's just been promoted to GM Director of Global Advanced Design, but he spent five years before that as Cadillac Design Director. He, too, had seen the drawings, and was also inspired to build a car. Only his was not a recreation; it was a concept car.
The Ciel phaeton is a knockout and debuted at Pebble Beach last year. Jay Leno's site has a video of him and Ed Welburn examining it. But until the Cadillac design department saw our cover, they had no idea Roxas and company had actually built cars from the Fleetwood drawings. Needless to say they were excited, and they got GM VP of Global Design Welburn–a genuine car guy–interested, too. They were so excited they thought they'd show the Ciel all over again, but this time in a context which showed its connection to the Fleetwood designs of the Thirties, "The Era of Dramatic Presence," as Clay called it. Their idea was to build two mock-up design studios, one with the Roxas V-16s, and one with the Ciel, and tie them together thematically. The only problem was, they didn't know where the V-16s were. So with my name on the story, that's who they went to.
Speaking of Leno, years ago he called up our editor-in-chief Richard Lentinello to compliment him on a Toronado story; Rich nearly hung up on what he thought was a crank call. I had the same reaction when Clay contacted me: "Get outta here, buddy." Fortunately, he's a nice guy, and I was able to help. Fran Roxas can be reclusive, but for some reason he takes my calls, so together we were able to convince the current owner, who for now wishes to remain anonymous, to talk to GM. I think dropping Ed Welburn's name as backer of the idea may have sealed the deal.
Now all the pieces are in place and the two Fleetwoods and Ciel will be the centerpiece of Cadillac's display at Pebble Beach next week. Clay and company have located many of the sweeps, templates and drawings used by MacMinn for his designs, and of course have all of their own studies of the Ciel. Their descriptions and teaser images sound incredible, and we can't wait to see the final result. We provided PDFs of the HCC story for the display, so we hope that will be up, as well.
Hemmings is proud to have been part of making this happen. Cadillac will be making their announcement on Monday, and I'll include their press here.
UPDATE: Here's GM's press release from Tuesday, August 14:
DETROIT – A pair of one-of-a-kind Cadillac Fleetwood V-16s that were available but never ordered by customers during the Great Depression will be among the cars on display at the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in Carmel, Calif., this week.
Cadillac's exhibit, open to the public Aug. 16-19 at Peter Hay Hill, features Cadillac's newest cars, along with the two custom-built Fleetwood Convertibles from 1934 and 1937. Each has a historically significant pedigree.
A 1934 rumbleseat roadster model 5802 and a 1937 Phaeton model 5859 were part of Cadillac's made-to-order Fleetwood collection, featured in the "build books" that customers used to select options for their cars. All other body styles were built for customers, but these two lavish models went unselected.
Decades later, noted automobile restorer and coachbuilder Fran Roxas built the Phaeton 5859 and Roadster 5802 from scratch, relying only on the original blueprints of Cadillac designer John Hampshire. Both have won best-in-class awards at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.
The two one-of-a-kind models were rarely seen until being profiled in a recent Hemmings Classic Cararticle.
Each recently sold at auction. The Phaeton 5859 sold for $962,500 and the Roadster 5802 for $1,001,000. Both vehicles are powered by Cadillac's legendary16-cylinder engine. Cadillac designers recently used the original drawings as inspiration for the Ciel Convertible concept car shown for the first time in the Cadillac exhibit at Peter Hay Hill in 2011. It will be on display again this week.
Held annually since 1950, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is a premier exhibition of pre- and post-war automobiles and motorcycles, as well as concept cars from manufacturers across the world. In order to be showcased, vehicles must be a well preserved or accurately restored model of the original and offer "historic value" in the form of engineering and design and craftsmanship among other factors from the vehicle's time period.
"The Cadillac Phaeton 5859 and Roadster 5802 are literally unlike any other vehicle ever built," said Clay Dean, Cadillac design director. "The Cadillac design team is still inspired by these two vehicles as we dream and conceive of future Cadillac entries."
Cadillac will also showcase a 1953 LeMans at this year's event. The LeMans, a relatively small and athletic design, is one of the famed Motorama show cars of the 1950s.
Cadillac has been a leading luxury auto brand since 1902. In recent years, Cadillac has engineered a historic renaissance led by artful engineering and advanced technology. More information on Cadillac can be found at media.cadillac.com.
WOW! Hope there's an article after the show!
Fantastic story, Fantastic cars, Stuff like this makes this hobby so exciting and full of history. It brings the cars to life and the people involved a bit of immortality. (Hopefully that doesn't sound too 'over the top").
Interestingly, a Dutch enthusiast and friend currently is building (in Holland) a similar Cadillac V-16 roadster "that never was". The chassis, motor and transmission all are authentic Cadillac parts; as for the body, it is being built from original Fleetwood photos and drawings. Completion date has not been set but I expect it won't be before 2014. Expect another "winner", in the Roxas vein.
According to Fran, there is another pair out there somewhere, too.
Dear Sir, I have kept the issue of Hemmings with these two amazing Fleetwood Cadillac designs and have sent color copies to all of my car guy/girl friends. Both vehicles are the ultimate in creative artistry by the man who built them and the people who funded the project. They are the most impressive and amazing vehicles to be scratch built from vintage drawings in recent memory. This feat in the present economic times has to go down in history as being one of the most impressive accomplishments of the last 50 years. I hope someone makes a model of the Ciel to go along with the West Coast Die Cast version of the Cadillac 16.
Hemmngs hit a home run with this one and should be very proud of their accomplishment and participation in getting the vehicles to PB.
Best Continued Success,
Joe Rybicki

Just one more reason why Hemmings amd Staff are so important to all of us and the Hobby.
I'm not a fan of big cars, but I'd make an exception for the Ciel. It was probably the best-looking car outside the main show.
This is the sort of blockbuster exhibit for which Pebble Beach is justly renowned, I can't wait for Sunday the 19th!
I once had the privilege of having lunch with Strother MacMinn and my meager automotive knowledge was embarrassed in the presence of such automotive erudition. These cars will be automotive porn!
The Ciel is a handsome car, and a worthy design for Cadillac. I suppose it's a "parade car" without any provision for a top?
I think that there are enough people out there with enough tremendous, old-school, Rockefeller-Vanderbilt-pre-income-tax-like-wealth, in this country alone, that it seems as if GM could sell a ton of these concepts. The Ciel, Sixteen; not to forget the Converj and the Cien, which might still be my favorite, after the Sixteen. I know the tooling and craftsmanship costs for these types of cars are over the top, but wouldn't there be some benefit in at least breaking even on these? Just think of the PR value, the cachet, the the the.. ok, I'm not going to talk anyone at Cadillac into doing these concepts..
Cadillac has had some of the best, coolest concepts in the last 10+ years, in my opinion. But, they rarely, if ever, put them into production, unfortunately.
Very Nice Cars but when did Pebble Beach start letting people bring in Custom cars to be shown as real?
Pebble's New Classics class was established about 30 years ago specifically for the black Sport Phaeton. However, these will not be on the show field, but in the Concept Car area at the Lodge.
In fact the original show admitted one-offs as well as contemporary cars. It was not until 1955 when Phil Hill's 1931 Pierce Arrow 41 Le Baron Town Cabriolet won Best In Show that Classics took the top honor.
~ as i recently was told Phil Hill ran from the paddock after winning the race in a Ferrari to accept the Best In Show award for his Pierce Arrow.
Kudos to all involved. It's great to see the appreciation some modern car designers have for historical cars. Also, thanks to the Pebble Beach Concours for showing the sport customs this year including the Kurtis sports car that became the Muntz Jet. Exciting times for the car hobby! Sorry, I can't attend this year. I live on the right coast ( New Jersey). Spent my money in Prague salivating over the Tatra in their National Technical Museum. The Ceil is a beauty. Shows what passion can do in the design world. Love to see one in two tone. After all the sky is many colors!
~ please don't overlook Geoff Hacker's incredible Kurtis-Omohundro featured in several recent Daniel Strohl articles.
Absolutely beautiful cars!! And GM should gear up and BUILD that gorgeous convertible!! I'll bet they would sell like hot cakes-if not priced outrageously too high….
Thanks to David and ALL his help with this whole event. It wouldn't have happened without his support, directions and enthusiasm. Also Sam Pack, the new owner was just so accommodating, a huge Thanks go out to him. . .Fran Roxas was GREAT to speak with and provided wonderful insight , in addition to building those doggone things. . . . and to Steve Nannini who provided the Line drawings from the builds. What a great Display it was . . It really was fantastic to get all three cars together,and to also take a few photos of the three together. We also really appreciate all the great comments about the CIEL . . We're doing our best, and we're very proud of it . .stayed tuned for next year's Pebble Concept. We think you all might like it!
Beatuies that suite my style.
I run across one of these V 16Cadillacs about a late 30's early 40's a few years ago and I believe its still in the barn and I believe the people do you know that it was some money its in California

Romney Raises Bar on What Constitutes Good Unemployment Rate
Mitt Romney raised the bar for what comprises an unemployment rate worth celebrating as he used the latest jobs figures to criticize President Barack Obama's management of the economy while campaigning in Pennsylvania.
"Anything over four percent is not cause for celebration," the presumptive Republican presidential nominee said inside a warehouse of a specialized cement and corrosion- resistant materials manufacturer in Pittsburgh.
"I'm going to get America working again," Romney told supporters. "I'm going to get America strong again."
The former Massachusetts governor called it a "sad time in America for people who want work and can't find jobs."
Employers in the U.S. added fewer workers than forecast in April while the jobless rate declined as people left the labor force, underscoring concern that the recovery by the world's largest economy may be losing speed.
Payrolls climbed 115,000, the smallest gain in six months, after a revised 154,000 rise in March that was greater than initially estimated, according to Labor Department figures released today in Washington. The median estimate of 85 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 160,000 advance.
The jobless rate fell to a three-year low of 8.1 percent, from 8.2 percent in March.
While the jobless rate has declined since its peak during Obama's term of 10 percent in October 2009, the drop has been slow and halting. It was stuck at about 9 percent through the first three quarters of last year.
Obama's campaign responded to Romney's speech by calling it "filled with dishonesty and distortions" about the president's record and his own.
Romney "can't change the fact that the president brought the economy back from the brink of another Depression and we've now seen over 4.2 million private-sector jobs created over the last 26 months," Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said in a statement.
Referring to Romney's business experience as a private equity executive, Smith said "he profited handsomely by laying off workers and outsourcing American jobs."
Pushing Jobs Bill
Alan Krueger, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, said private payroll growth shows the economy is on the mend. More needs to be done, he said in a statement, and Obama will keep pressing Congress to pass the components of the jobs proposal he laid out last year that have been rejected by Republicans.
"Despite adverse shocks that have created headwinds for economic growth, the economy has added private sector jobs for 26 straight months, for a total of 4.25 million payroll jobs over that period," Krueger said.
Romney, speaking to several hundred people crowded into the warehouse, said Obama has taken repeated actions that strained the free enterprise system.
"We have a president who is continuing to push against economic freedom," he said. "The right course for America is not to repress freedom, but to encourage freedom."
Romney said his economic game plan would include slowing the growth of the federal government.
"One thing I know I'm not going to do is go hire a bunch more people in the federal government," he said.
Coal Industry
Speaking in a region that mines coal, Romney said Obama has made the industry's existence more challenging.
"He sure doesn't like coal," Romney said. "He's making it harder for the people to mine coal and harder for enterprises to use it."
Proposals by the Environmental Protection Agency under Obama to reduce pollution from coal-fired power plants have earned criticism from the industry and plaudits from environmental advocacy groups.
Obama is leading Romney in Pennsylvania 47 percent to 39 percent, a Quinnipiac University poll released yesterday shows. The survey was taken April 25-May 1 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 2.9 percentage points.
In an opinion article in today's Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper, Romney welcomed Obama to Ohio ahead of the president's planned campaign visit to the state tomorrow.
"Mr. President, your promises now ring hollow," Romney wrote. "If you have brought new ideas to Ohio for creating jobs, why have you waited three years to unveil them? Have you suddenly had a revelation, or is it because 2012 is an election year? Whatever the case, what you are offering Ohio now is too little, too late."
Before his campaign event, Romney met privately with former Senator Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who emerged as his main rival in the race for the Republican nomination. Santorum, hasn't yet formally endorsed Romney, ended his campaign on April 10. Romney's campaign had no immediate comment about today's meeting.

In a quaint, quiet forest a mole went around, tilling the earth and digging the ground. He was searching for worms, his slimiest prey, when he discovered a farm that would fill him for days.
There were so many worms, he ate himself fat. On writhering thrones, he slurped and he sat. When he was finished, there were still many worms who attacked him in strong, slimy squirms.
Sifting the soil, the worms trapped the beast, bathed him in grime, and made him their feast. The mole was too gorged to put up a fight. An ironic twist to his utopic night.
The worms then thrived for three thousand years, devoid of thought, worry, or fears. They evolved into a race of omniscient beings, finding all answers and gleaning all meanings.
One sunny day, a boy dug them up, washed off their dirt, and filled up his cup. He used them as bait when hunting for fish. Catching a trout was his number one wish.
Grabbing a long, wriggling worm, the boy set to stick the hook through its form. Just before the point pierced its soft side, the worm told the boy, "I want to survive!"
The boy dropped the worm in startled alarm, stumbled backwards and tripped over the farm. The pile of worms slopped out of the cup, raced for the edge, and dropped in a plop.
In the cool water, they raced for the shore, unaware of what the fish had in store. Within a minute they were swallowed up whole, which really was this story's one goal.
You see, the fish were part of a plot to show you what the mole begot: the beginning. And the moral of the story is this, my dear, faithful friend, nothing matters when it comes to the end.

To be clear, this is just a play, a game, a making fun of life when life gets all too monotonous. Do not take this seriously, it is seriously semi-serious in nature.
