You have nothing wrong with your kite. The ripstop material bends, twists, wrinkles like most products out there. They have to pump your kite up and fold it before its packaged for sale. It's not like an imaginary machine does it perfectly and VOILA! its crisp in the bag.
This is common for all kites not just yours. The tape is for entra reinforcement in stress areas that are prone to un stitch under certain loads and conditions. If I were you, I would stop being anal and go kite!

Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::ProhibitOneArgSelect - Never write
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
Conway discourages the use of a raw
select() when setting autoflushes. We'll extend that further by simply prohibiting the one-argument form of
select() entirely; if you really need it you should know when/where/why that is. For performing autoflushes, Conway recommends the use of
IO::Handle instead.
select((select($fh), $|=1)[0]); # not ok
select $fh; # not ok
use IO::Handle;
$fh->autoflush(); # ok
*STDOUT->autoflush(); # ok

Pavelski, Stalock lead Sharks past Jetsby Eric Gilmore
SAN JOSE -- When the puck dropped Thursday night at SAP Center, San Jose Sharks backup goaltender Alex Stalock had waited a week to get back in net after his first career shutout.
As it turned out, rust was not a problem.
Stalock stopped all 20 shots he faced for his second straight shutout, and Joe Pavelski scored the game's only goal at 6:48 of the third period, leading the Sharks to a 1-0 victory against the Winnipeg Jets.
"Obviously it feels good to get a shutout," said Stalock, who started in place of Antti Niemi. "I think in the last two games, maybe a total of 40 shots. You see that sometimes in one game, and it says a lot to spread that out among two games. You put it on a team effort, clearing away rebounds, and it makes it a lot simpler."
The Sharks won their fifth straight game and snapped the Jets' four-game winning streak, handing coach Paul Maurice his first loss since replacing Claude Noel on Jan 12.
Stalock extended his shutout streak to 140 minutes and 59 seconds. He posted his first career NHL shutout in his previous start, making 24 saves in a 3-0 road win against the Florida Panthers on Jan. 16. Before that he made 35 saves in a 3-2 shootout victory against the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Jan. 5. He hasn't allowed a goal since Chicago's Michal Rozsival scored at 4:01 of the third period.
"It's awesome," Pavelski said of Stalock's play. "He's come in and played great for us. He's made some big saves along the way. It's really good for the team obviously. [Niemi] has been great. Al steps in on the odd nights and has been phenomenal."
Pavelski continued his torrid steak with his 28th goal of the season, moving him into sole possession of second place in the NHL, seven behind Alex Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals.
It was Pavelski's sixth goal in three games and his 19th in his past 21 games. This time he batted a rebound out of the air past Jets goaltender Ondrej Pavelec from close range after Justin Braun's soft backhand from the slot.
"It was one of those that's just kind of hovering and you're going to the net hoping for something like that and I just touched it," Pavelski said.
Winnipeg came into the game off a 3-2 victory Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks -- Anaheim's first regulation loss at home this season. The Sharks improved to 18-2-3 at home, but not before the Jets gave them a scare.
"I like a lot of what I saw defensively," Maurice said. "It's what we are trying to do. Our offense needs to improve. I like this group; they are still young and have potential. These guys are willing and they listen."
Pavelec made 31 saves and continued his own hot streak. He had won his four previous starts, posting a 1.74 goals-against average and a .933 save percentage during that stretch. He made 40 saves in the Jets' victory at Anaheim on Tuesday.
"It was a good road trip for us," Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba said. "They got the bounce and we didn't. [Pavelec] certainly did a great job to keep us in it. We can take a lot of positives out of this game."
Early in the third period, Pavelec was shaken up stopping a wicked slap shot by Sharks forward Brent Burns that appeared to hit him in the shoulder. He caught the puck against his body but went to the ice in pain. He was examined by a trainer but remained in the game.
Stalock and Pavelec each made 11 saves in a scoreless first period, but the Jets had two power plays to none for San Jose and had more prime scoring chances. Stalock came up with his best save late in the first, denying Andrew Ladd on a 2-on-1 rush. As Ladd fired a shot from the left circle, Stalock did the splits in the crease and made the save with his right pad.
"They made a cross pass to him and he was streaking in," Stalock said. "He was going to have to lunge for it, so I just wanted to make it over there. I didn't think he was going to be able to get it up. We had a d-man on him under his stick, so he wasn't able to get much on it. It was a good play to eliminate a scoring chance on him."
One of the Sharks' best scoring chances in the first came shorthanded during Winnipeg's second power play when forward Andrew Desjardins went in on a breakaway. But Pavelec stopped Desjardins' wrist shot and his backhand on the rebound.
The Sharks appeared to break through for the game's first goal with 5:52 left in the second period when Pavelski ripped a power-play rebound past Pavelec. But the goal was immediately waved off for goaltender interference on Sharks captain Joe Thornton, who appeared to have been knocked on top of Pavelec by Jets defenseman Mark Stuart.
"It felt like my feet kind of like got kicked," Thornton said. "I don't know if it was the goalie. I just kind of went down. Too bad, but thank God it didn't affect the game."
The Jets went on their third power play of the game at 16:33 of the second after San Jose's Mike Brown sent Trouba hard into the boards with a hit from behind, earning two minutes for charging. But for the third straight time, the Sharks' penalty killers prevailed.
"It was a tight game," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said. "I thought both teams played that way. Not many chances at either end, and when there were, both goaltenders played well. We're lucky enough that [Pavelski] batted one out of the air. Get away with the win. Good to see our team play a tight game. I thought against Calgary we weren't anywhere near that. We were sloppy. Great to see Alex get another shutout. We're all excited for him. There's some good things tonight."

On June 5, World Bank Vice President for Sustainable Development Rachel Kyte will host a live online chat about Rio +20 and sustainable development at live.worldbank.org. Submit questions now, and then join Rachel Kyte and economist Marianne Fay on June 5 at 14:00 GMT/10 a.m. EDT.
Rio +20 is coming up in a few weeks. Some 75,000 leaders, advocates, scientists and other experts are expected in person, and tens of thousands more will be watching online to see how the world can advance sustainable development.
Many of us have been advocating for greener, more inclusive growth since before the first Earth Summit at Rio 20 years ago. We've seen economic growth lift 660 million people out of poverty, but we've also seen growth patterns run roughshod over the environment, diminishing the capacity of the planet's natural resources to meet the needs of future generations.
The growing global population needs world leaders to do more than just check in at the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, Rio+20 – it needs them to move the needle now toward truly sustainable development practices.
We're seeing that kind of leadership in Africa, particularly on natural capital accounting, and in South Korea and parts of Latin America and the Caribbean that are embracing inclusive green growth.
Restoring ocean health is another of our key priorities. Through the new Global Partnership for Oceans (GPO), we are working with a growing coalition of ocean stakeholders – representing public, private and civil society interests – around the goal of restoring global ocean health so that oceans contribute more to food security and the global economy.
On World Environment Day, June 5, I'm inviting you to join me and economist Marianne Fay for a live online chat to discuss expectations for Rio+20 and how the world can move forward with inclusive green growth and better measurement that takes natural capital into account.
I'd like to know what you're seeing locally as cities, regions, and some countries shift toward more sustainable development – and what more you think needs to be done. What do you think the world needs to do to get to sustainable development? What will it take to create a greener and more inclusive world? How can countries ensure that their natural resources are properly valued and managed for sustainability?
Two weeks ago, I was in Gaborone listening to African leaders describe how they were taking the first steps in countries like Botswana and South Africa to measure their natural capital for better decision making. Africa's strong growth path has put the continent in a position to demonstrate leadership in natural capital accounting. Our new report "Moving Beyond GDP" describes how that's happening.
You can also read about how countries are shifting to inclusive green growth and the steps many more countries can take to get on the path to sustainable development in two more new reports: "Inclusive Green Growth: The Pathway to Sustainable Development" and "Inclusive Green Growth in Latin America & the Caribbean."
Bring your questions, ideas, and insights, and join the conversation on June 5. We'll be chatting online in both English and Spanish.

well, yes...it's the same principle as the electron shield she used in the latest chapter of rail gun against mikoto, she moves electrons to form a shield...in the same way, she should be able to move electrons to form an arm...
or something like that, someone with more knowledge about either toaruverse or physics could likely give you a better answer...

if you prefer lightning over atomic reaction then good for you. The lightning is = 1 billion tsun tsun dere situation but the atomic reaction is rain of limit of melt down. Its her way of showing her yan yan dere side of love.
That could explain her temporary arm but I prefer if frog face do something for it.
With gunha having a mystery power well all gem stones are mystery and had no particular category that they belong with to begin with. So they only assume with its maximum or rather its power out put.

his a gem. Crowley said that their are 3 confirmed gemstones. Touma, Gunha and Aisa.
And can you categorize their ability? answer ............ NO
Aisa's deep blood can't be even identified or clarified except its an ability meant to kill vampires and also Gunha. His ability makes me do wonders but doesn't fall on a certain category. And finally touma. Its not even detected in the test and it can't be seen or rather its full of mysteries.

Sorry for sounding dumb, but can you elaborate on the 3 gems? Like their purpose and stuff.
If it was ever shown in the animes or partial translations of the TAMnI LN, then I'd even take Mugino's yandere pwnage as mental compensation.

there are less than 50 gems around the world and most likely 3 in the city and so far it seems their abillities are a mystery even to themselfs
i got this idea that maybe touma is adopted and that might hide the truth behind imagine breaker his parents (the true ones) but since he lost his memories he wont notice so that must be the whole reason that the writter made him lose his memories

Question about The Queen, what are the specifics of her power? Well, terms of use, you could say. Like, before Touma got amnesia, I believe he stated something along the lines of 'an esper than can alter memories with a single touch', so does she have to touch them to perform any memory altering abilities? Hell, can't really imagine anything but her telepathy being ranged for being ranked fifth.

less than 50 in the whole world are gemstones and less than 20 in the whole world are saints.
While the power of the saints equates the power of nuclear weapons. Academy city's number 1 and 2 said had their own. The one who bears the power of god and the one who equates the god.
Gemstones and Saints are Talents that had been the point of envy of anyone thus leading on the creation of espers as for people who can't become espers they become magicians.

Kaori is compare to nuke weapons. That's why its bad if she gone wild hunt against the Royal Knights of England. It will turn into war and that result on Laura sending Styl to get index with touma and get the book of law plus ursula before kaori will go all out war.
The power of saints are massive that if they run wild they could destroy the world. That's why they are been in constant check by the churches.

I believe Kanzaki hasn't shown her real powers yet.
I imagine her having some kind of overlimit mode where she unleashes her true powers thanks to that Stigma.
And it isn't said that she can survive a nuclear bomb, but her power reaches that of one.
If she was an ordinary magician I wonder if she would have been able to defend against Misha in the Angel Fall arc.
And I personally don't compare the magic side with the science side as for who's stronger etc.
Kanzaki and the Level 5 espers are all strong in a sense but they all have weak points, too.
Edit: Toma pwns Accelerator anyway, so guessing who can beat who is kinda meaningless. XD

[This entry originally appeared on Clare Lynch's blog, goodcopybadcopy]
Pity the poor apostrophe. Whenever he threatens to make an appearance you find yourself coming over all nervous. It's nothing personal – you just can't help feeling a little intimidated around a character so hard to comprehend. In fact, that little chap with the scarily Hellenic name is such hard work, you're tempted to drop him altogether.
Not so fast. Like Capricorns and rottweilers the apostrophe just takes a little bit of time to get to know. Respect him – and take the time to understand his apparently complex but wonderfully consistent ways – and you've got a friend for life. Why? Well, aside from stopping you appearing illiterate, he'll help you avoid a whole host of ambiguities.
I won't overload you with all the intricacies of the apostrophe in one go. Instead, I'll explain his mysteries in several blog entries. That way, you can get to know him slowly – so you've no excuse to abuse him out of ignorance again.
Let's begin with when you shouldn't use the apostrophe: namely to denote plurals. One group of people known for being all too familiar with our superior little friend are grocers. It's hard to express the pain caused to grammar geeks by squares of cardboard felt-tipped with phrases such as "Banana's 50p", "Pears' 1.30p a pound" or "All Apple's On Sale".
So remember this: if all you want to do is convey the fact that there are more of a particular item than one, this is not your moment to forge a relationship with the apostrophe. Learn to love the words "bananas", "apples' and "pears" (and all other nouns in their plural form) in their beautifully unadorned, apostrophe-free state – and don't fall into the trap of using the grocer's apostrophe.
Or should that be grocers' apostrophe? But that's for another blog entry . . .

Frontiers Records is excited to announce the signing of the next Melodic Metal sensation from Sweden SAINT DEAMON,In Shadows Lost From The Brave" on January 25th 2008. for the release of their debut album "
This Swedish/Norwegian band, named after a fictive ghost rider called S. Deamon, was formed in 2006 by drummer Ronny Milianowicz after a 7 year long successful era with Swedish/German melodic metal band Dionysus.
He rejoined his forces with Dionysus bass player Nobby Noberg, which Ronny describe as "The best bass player in the business", along with the exceptional guitar virtuoso Toya Johansson, which Ronny knew back from their studying together at the University Of Music, in Örebro Sweden.
The band scanned the whole internet to find a singer that would do their magnificent music justice and in the spring of 2008, they finally found the ultra talented voice of gold, Norwegian Jan Thore Grefstad, most known for his impressive singing in Norwegian power metallers Highland Glory and for being the singer in TNT guitarist Ronnie Le Tekro's second band Wild Willy's Gang, a position he took over after Jorn Lande.
The Saint Deamon line up was then complete and started to work on the debut album, under the guidance of the high acclaimed monster producer Jens Bogren, best known for his excellent work with Symphony X, Hammerfall, Opeth, Katatonia and Dionysus. The musical idea of Saint Deamon is to mix four very talented musicians dream and ideas and come up with a unique form of music that varies from apocalyptic riffing and shredding to visions of historical musical landscapes, from Gregorian hymns to the sophisticated aggression of the SAINT DEAMON stylish trademark of metal.
For those who haven't heard about SAINT DEAMON and their members, think again, this band has an armada of song writing credits.
Ronny Milianowicz has been co-writing metal anthem singles like "Seven Seals", "Fighting The Darkness" with Primal Fear, "Red Light" with Cans as well as some classic hymns for Dionysus; Toya have been co-writing immortal songs for Sinner and Ride The Sky and in 2006 together with Joacim Cans (Hammerfall), Uli Kusch (Ride The Sky, Masterplan, Helloween) and Ronny, co-wrote the Football World Cup Metal Hymn "Glorious" where some of the world's leading metal singers such as Ralf Sheepers (Primal Fear), Tobias Sammet (Edguy), Edu Falaschi (Angra), Timo Kotipelto (Stratovarius) joined forces and blew of the roof entering on position # 7 in the Swedish charts: the highest position for any of the members ever in Sweden!
Final tracklisting of "In Shadows Lost From The Brave" will be:
The Exodus (Intro); My Judas; In Shadows Lost From The Brave; My Heart; The Burden; No Mans Land; Ride Forever; Black Symphony; Deamons; The Brave Never Bleeds; My Sorrow; Run For Your Life.

March 2, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The United States Coast Guard Academy entered Sunday's final round of competition at the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Men's Swimming and Diving Championships with a healthy lead, and that lead would only grow larger, as the Bears pulled away from the pack to win their third consecutive title. The champions finished the meet, hosted by MIT at the Zesiger Pool, with a staggering 991 points, outdistancing runner-up MIT (868) and third-place finisher Springfield College (741).
Senior Bobby Brown got Sunday evening's finals session underway in spectacular fashion for Coast Guard, finishing the 1,650-yard freestyle in a blistering 15:41.81. The time reached the NCAA "A" cut and also broke Brown's own NEWMAC Open, Championship and pool records, which had all been set in 2005. He was pushed the entire way to the bell-lap by MIT's Michael Dobson, who finished closely behind in 15:46.70, also reaching the NCAA "A" cut and securing Second Team All-Conference accolades. Senior Jeffrey Meyer, of WPI, reached the NCAA "B" cut with a time of 16:07.21.
The Bears continued to widen their lead in the next event, the 200-yard backstroke. Freshman Timmy Berry touched the wall first in an NCAA "B" cut time of 1:53.37 to garner First Team All-Conference plaudits, while runner-up Justin Zook, of Springfield, finished in 1:56.30.
Springfield senior Roy Burch, who was impressive all weekend long, then notched his fourth First Team All-Conference honor in the 100-yard freestyle, clocking in at 45.59 to reach an NCAA "B" cut. Also reaching the "B" cut were MIT's Laurent Charpentier, who secured Second Team accolades with a finish of 46.11, and Burch's Pride teammate, Greg Pearsall (46.39).
The host Engineers made a splash in the next race, the 200-yard breaststroke, in which they took three of the top five spots. Sophomore Rastislav Racz won the event with an NCAA "B" cut finish of 2:05.22, besting all of his competition by over four seconds and missing out on beating his own NEWMAC Championship record by just 0.16 seconds. Springfield's Ryan Mackstutis grabbed Second Team All-Conference recognition with his runner-up time of 2:09.63, and he was followed by Coast Guard's Mark Tatara and MIT's duo of John Walk and Kalvin Kao.
WPI's Mason Ruffining picked up his first career First Team All-Conference nod in the 200-yard butterfly, finishing the race in an NCAA "B" cut time of 1:53.61. He was followed by Coast Guard's Doug Fallon, who also reached the NCAA "B" cut with a finish of 1:54.53.
The three-meter diving competition belonged to Springfield, which placed four of the top five finishers. Senior Ben Casavant, who also won the one-meter event on Friday, scored highest with a mark of 543.60, while his freshman teammate Brian Sobol earned Second Team All-Conference honors for a second time with a score of 519.85. Both divers' tallies surpassed the previous NEWMAC Open record of 506.75, set by another Springfield diver, Mike Shaw, in 2004. Babson College's Aaron Paradis placed third (504.85), while Matt Fitzgerald (477.75) and Michael Osborne (450.50) rounded out the Pride's dominance in the event.
With the result of the meet already decided heading into the weekend's final race, the 400-yard freestyle relay, it would've been no surprise to see times trail off a bit. However, the desire of the competitors to give their all until the very end shown through, as Springfield's quartet of Matt Manoni, Greg Pearsall, Anthony Bruno and Burch ended the Championships with a record-setting time of 3:04.62. The mark not only reached the NCAA "B" cut, but also established new Championship, Open and pool records, while it also earned the squad First Team All-Conference honors. MIT's crew of Luke Cummings, Peter Wellings, Jeff Zhou and Charpentier nabbed Second Team accolades with a "B" cut time of 3:05.40, while Coast Guard's team of Brown, Dale Cressman, Jack Shadwick and Jim Okorn also met the "B" cut.

"Now the same Benelli M4 used by the U.S. Marine Corps can be your home defense shotgun of choice. When the U.S. Marine Corps went shopping for a shotgun, they bought the M4 — the 12-gauge shotgun that functions the first time, every time. Its unique Auto Regulating Gas Operated (A.R.G.O.) system developed by Benelli engineers has dual stainless steel, self-cleaning pistons located just ahead of the chamber that operate directly against the bolt assembly.
The M4 Tactical comes standard with a Picatinny rail for optics, a fully adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and fixed-blade front sight and a black synthetic pistol-grip style stock. An optional standard stock is offered. With features and reliability that do it for the U.S. military, the Benelli M4 is an excellent choice for your own home defense plan." - [url="http://www.benelliusa.com/shotguns/benelli-m4.php"]SOURCE[/url]
When searching for what I considered the ultimate defensive scatter-gun I had never really considered the Benelli M4 due to its price point. I had heard many great things about them, but believing theres only so many ways you can reinvent the wheel I just didnt see how I could justify spending $1,700.00 on a shotgun when there are so many great choices for half the cost. Lucky for me, my wife Vicki thought differently by surprising me with a Benelli M4 for Christmas!
The weapon is shipped almost completely disassembled. After spending much of the morning assembling presents for my young daughters the last thing I wanted to do was to assemble yet another gift. After I began the assembly process however my mood changed as this gave me a great opportunity to gain indepth knowledge of my new shotgun. Before I began the assembly process I first continued to completely strip the weapon and in doing so I grew to appreciate the genius in the design of this weapon.
[size=4]What I Like:[/size=4]
Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (A.R.G.O.) system: On August 4, 1998 Benelli delivered five shotgun samples featuring the A.R.G.O. system to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland. The guns were put through an intensive, grueling test for safety, function and performance. Subjecting them to mud, sand, baking heat and extreme cold, the guns beat out the competition to be chosen as the new U.S. "Joint Service Combat Shotgun." Benelli's patented Auto-Regulating Gas-Operated (A.R.G.O.) system has more than met the needs of the U.S. Marines' M1014 semiautomatic Ð an ultra-reliable, battle-proven shotgun.
The A.R.G.O. Piston-Driven System is also the heart of the Benelli's R1 and MR1 rifles, featuring simplicity, sturdiness and accuracy, all packaged in an ingenious design.
Upon firing a Piston-Driven gun, single port, located just forward of the chamber, bleeds gases where they are hotter and cleaner. The results are less fouling and more reliable cycling. A short-stroke, self-cleaning piston and two tappet pistons push directly against the R1's bolt body, eliminating the need for connecting linkages or heavy action bars. Because the pistons push directly against the bolt, they move only ½-inch for complete and rapid cycling with minimum vibration. - [url="http://www.benelliusa.com/innovations/argo.php"]SOURCE[/url]
The above quote is what Benelli has to say about the ARGO system. I included this because what I have to say about it can be summed up in just a few words: "Freakin' Incrdible!". I have never found anything so effective at reducing felt recoil. This system is so effective in fact that it enables small women to handle 3" Magnum slugs with relative ease.
Shooting the Benelli M4[/url]
While the video may show how unexpected the recoil was, keep in mind that we (including two small and recoil sensitive women) are shooting 3" Magnum slugs! Shooting 2.75" slugs and buckshot was even easier.
Ergonomics: Everything is right where it needs to be both for comfort as well as effortless and instinctual manipulation.
Aesthetics: Since form isnt comparable to function I put little value on the aesthetic properties of any defensive weapon. That said, this shotgun just looks viscious and I value this due to the mental impact the mere sight of this weapon should have on a potential threat. While I wouldn't depend on this alone to prevent an attack, the less confident your attacker is the less likely you are to be forced to shoot him and his confidence is based on his mental state.
Accuracy: Although recoil anticipation is a shooter issue and not a gun issue, since I don't anticipate excruciating recoil with this shotgun I don't flinch when shooting 3" Magnum slugs. Because of this, I shoot this shotgun with more accuracy than any other I own and I've only had it twenty four hours.
Simplicity: If you've ever field stripped an M16 you already know most of everything there is to know about the bolt assembly. All the tools you need to disassemble this shotgun are built into the shotgun (bolt handle serves as pin removal tool).
[size=4]What I Don't Like:[/size=4]
If you have followed my reviews in the past you know that I always find something that I don't like about the weapon I am reviewing. For the first time ever I just might have found an exception as I honestly can't find anything to gripe about with this shotgun. I suppose I could bitch that it should come with night sights standard but this isn't an expected item on any gun. I could bitch about how much it cost but I find value to be the more important consideration. I don't think it matters what something costs so long as you are getting what you pay for and that is certainly the case with this shotgun. In fact, had I shot one in advance I would likely be willing to pay even a little more. This weapon is such a smooth shooter (both in action as well as diminished felt recoil) that I'm absolutely certain that my wives could use it defensively and effectively even with the hardest hitting loads available today and how can you put a price on confidence like that?
[size=4]How Does It Compare?[/size=4]
In order to determine overall value and appeal I am comparing the Benelli M4 to a comparable size Remington 870 Tactical and a Browning 1300. While I would have liked to have used truly comparable (automatic short barrel) shotguns, all of my other autoloading shotguns are 28" barrel trap shooting shotguns.

The Benelli M4 Tactical shotgun is one of the "great ones". If asked to describe this weapon without using pictures, phrashes like "nasty little bastard" and "dirty son-of-a-bitch" come to mind. After a few hundred more failure-free slugs/buckshot shells are ran through this weapon it will without a doubt become my primary home/vehicle/camp/remote job-site/etc. defense weapon.
I have absolutely no valid criticism of this weapon. I will likely ad a red dot sight and a single point sling, but these are personal enhancements to suit me and the lack of them doesnt affect the value found in this shotgun. I would encourage everyone to not make the same mistake that I did for so long. Don't let the price point turn you away from this weapon. To put it simply, its that good.

Ask: Are both sides of the road fenced? (This is usually part of investigating officer's report.)
Utah Code 47-2-2 "Open Range" defined. The term "open range" means all land not privately owned, and includes all roads, outside of private inclosures, used by the public, whether the same have been formally dedicated to the public or not.
Yes (open range) Past court history and tradition - auto owner pays for damage to car and cow - must yield to livestock in open range situation.
If different result is wanted, must be determined in civil court.
No (not open range) Refer to Utah Law 41-6-38 (livestock on highway). Note: Livestock on high-way. No presumption of negligence by owner. Must be proven in civil court. Usually resolved by insurance dealing with wrecked auto, and livestock owner dealing with injured cow.
41-6-38. Livestock on highway - Restrictions - Collision, action for damages.
(1) A person owning or in possession or control of any livestock may not willfully or negligently permit any of the livestock to stray or remain unaccompanied by a person in charge or control of the livestock upon a highway, both sides of which are adjoined by property which is separated from the highway by a fence, wall, hedge, sidewalk, curb, lawn, or building. This subsection does not apply to range stock drifting onto any highway in going to or returning from their accustomed ranges.
(2) A person may not drive any livestock upon, over, or across any highway during the period from half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, without keeping a sufficient number of herders with warning lights on continual duty to open the road to permit the passage of vehicles.
(3) In any civil action brought by the owner, operator, or occupant of a motor vehicle or by their personal representatives or assignees, or by the owner of the livestock for damages caused by collision with any domestic animal or animals on a highway, there is no presumption that the collision was due to negligence on behalf of the owner or the person in possession of livestock.

With the 2009 hurricane season rapidly approaching, a University of
Tampa communications professor and student have created a new tool for
journalists, educators, and weather enthusiasts to help understand the
science and history of hurricanes, tropical storms, and severe tropical
weather. Created by Donovan Myrie, instructor of communication,
and J.J. Paolino, a senior majoring in electronic media art and
technology, StormFacts.net is an Internet-based resource for anyone
seeking information on severe weather during the Atlantic basin
hurricane season. The database is designed for easy and quick
navigation for users via computer or cell phone, and provides worldwide
desktop and mobile access to uncomplicated and important weather
information. StormFacts.net
has basic storm terminology, forecast information, a glossary, Internet
links, and historical data. In addition, the site contains detailed
information on Hurricanes Andrew and Katrina, and the 2004 and 2005
hurricane seasons. The site officially launches on March 28, 2009. The
catalog of information grew from an idea during coverage of storms in
the 2005 hurricane season. As a freelance field producer for NBC News
Channel, Myrie found himself constantly gathering facts and tidbits to
help reporters better understand and accurately cover storms. "As
the notes grew in number, I had the idea to digitize my efforts for
easier dissemination," Myrie said. "With technology, it is a fairly
simple process to aggregate the mass amount of storm information into
one easy-to-navigate site. More importantly, this information has been
vetted and comes from a trusted resource, as opposed to someone without
qualifications or credentials."
For more information about StormFacts.net, contact Donovan Myrie at (727) 460-2823 or J.J. Paolino at (401) 301-0725.

Widows seek salvation in India's holy city
Varanasi, India's holiest city, attracts millions of pilgrims seeking purification in the waters of the river Ganges.
For many, a journey here is the highlight of religious life - the most important pilgrimage a person can make.
While most pilgrims to Varanasi take their blessings and move on, others come to stay.
Widows, often shunned and stigmatised by their families and communities, go to Varanasi in the hope of eventually dying there.
Punigali Devi, a 93-year-old widow originally from Nepal, married at the age of 12 and became a widow one year later.
"All my family died," she said.
"I came to Varanasi 40 years ago, looking for shelter and hoping to gain salvation."
Another widow, 37-year-old Anapurna Sharma, married when she was 21 and was widowed five years later.
"As soon as my husband was cremated and the death rituals performed, my in-laws threw me out," she said.
"I had nowhere to go. My life was over."
She led a hand-to-mouth existence as a widow for 13 years.
Recently she started getting help from the NGO Sulabh International, along with 25 other widows in the city.
Anapurna Sharma now receives a small monthly stipend and the widows' refuge for the first time boasts clean water and a steady electricity supply.
"I have more confidence," she said.
"I want to return to studies and become a teacher."
Anapurna Sharma's hopeful life is an exception among Varanasi's widows.
Most of the city's widows continue living on the edge of society and in the desperate hope of a better life in a future reincarnation.
Vinita Sharma, Program Coordinator at Sulabh International, says widows in India are often stigmatised and are forced into poverty.
"In India, a husband is considered to be the head of the family," she said.
"Once a lady becomes a widow, people consider her as a burden.
"They are in need of food, in need of clothes, many basic requirements."

For the first time since Delta Air Lines bought 49 percent of Virgin Atlantic Airways, the two airlines released a joint summer schedule of flights. The new schedule is designed to maximize the combined slots and resources of both airlines.
The new schedule starts on March 30, just three days before Delta moves its arrival and departure terminal to Virgin Atlantic's in Heathrow Terminal 3. This includes its London to New York-JFK, London to Boston and new London to Seattle services. The two airlines will co-locate on all New York and Boston flights to London Heathrow.
The move will allow for easier connections and a more seamless experience for customers flying with Virgin and Delta, including access to Virgin Atlantic's Clubhouse for all business class passengers.
"We already co-locate together at New York's JFK airport and moving some of Delta's key business flights to join Virgin Atlantic at Heathrow's Terminal 3 will enhance convenience, and reduce connection times," said Craig Kreeger, Virgin Atlantic's CEO.
Delta, in co-operation with Virgin Atlantic, also will operate a second daily service between Heathrow and Detroit's Metropolitan Airport beginning June 2. The service will feature early morning arrivals in London. This additional flight will complement Delta's previously announced new West Coast route between Seattle and Heathrow, which will launch on March 30.
Virgin Atlantic is moving its VS1 Heathrow to Newark service from a late afternoon departure to a morning departure. This flight will appeal to business travelers by allowing for 'same-day meetings' to be held in the New Jersey area, while an earlier departure on the return flight means passengers can be in central London for the start of the working day.
Altogether, the two airlines will fly nine daily flights between Heathrow and New York with departures every 30 minutes during the early evening peak and then hourly until 10.30 p.m. from JFK to Heathrow and a spread of seven daily flights from Heathrow to JFK, including two late afternoon and early evening departures. It also includes two departures to and from Newark.
Virgin Atlantic has also retimed its Heathrow to Boston service to depart two hours later in the afternoon. This offers more flexibility for the two airlines' customers with Delta's Heathrow to Boston service departing in the morning. Virgin Atlantic's evening departure from Boston will also move two hours later, giving greater schedule choice to travelers. In September Delta and Virgin Atlantic welcomed the decision by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to approve the carriers' joint venture by granting antitrust immunity on routes between North America and the U.K.

nice seat, wish the mustang logo was on the skirt and not in middle of seat
Great seat but would not fit the REPLICA SEAT POST & T SET : 800-974
I've used this seat on my Shovel and have recommended it to many other Shovel riders. FINALLY my Wife listened to me and I got this one for her.....she LOVES it!!!!!! Thanks to J&P for provide quality pricing on Mustang seats!!! You just can't ask for anything more period!

Very comfortable.
Perfect fit, fast delivery, as ordered.
great seat just put it on havent got to ride yet but it feels great and looks just right thanks jp
nice well built seat
Awesome seat, looks good, feels good. easy to install. I put it on a 93 Harley Softail Springer ( TRIKE )
Sits too high for me.
This seat is AMAZING. I use a Pachago fat bob gas tank on my 86 1250cc, it looks amazing. The tank always looked big with the stock solo seat, and I was worried that the seat would look too big, together they are a perfect match, and complete the bike. HIGHLY recommened.
Replaced the original seat on my 93 Sportster with the Mustang wide. Great improvement. Very comfortable.
Wrong Seat. Will not work on 883 fitted with a King tank. Needed a 800-328.
Comfortable Seat - easy install
This is the best seat made for a Sportster. I would highly recommend the Mustang wide vintage touring seat to anybody looking to make their sporty comfortable for longer rides.
WAY more comfortable than the OEM, quality construction and great looks
Yes this seat is like a sofa!!!
Sits you up a lot higher, completely ruined the ride.
Fits and looks great on my 2005 Fat Boy. Amazing upgrade from the factory seat.
get seat way better than stock
I purchased this seat for my wife. She loves it. On a 200+ mile day her back hurt with the stock seat, but with this Mustang seat she has no pain. She said this is the most comfortable seat she's had on any of her motorcycles (Four, so far). I like the quality of the materials and workmanship. I'm sure it will last for many years.
best seat ever!!! I could not do more than 100 miles with the stock seat. I could (and have) ride all day and my ass is not sore. My wife is very happy with her seat also. Should have bought this when i first got the bike!!
Nice seat. Exactly as described.
This seat is so much better than stock that it at least doubled the time I can ride w/o having to get off and rest my butt. Improved overall geometry as well. Went on a Sporty Hugger.
This Wide Vintage Solo is the best thing I have bought for my 2008 Nightster 1200. Perfect fit , no problems at all. Highly recommended .Can just keep ridin. THANK YOU !
I love this seat on my '08 XL1200N. It makes the ride so much more comfortable. The only issue that I have is that the seat "bunches/wrinkles" because it has to be pushed forward enough so that the retaining screw will thread in. Otherwise it looks awesome! I highly recommend Mustang and will buy again in the future!
So much better than the original seat
I love this seat - made a huge difference on comfort and how far I can ride. I did 345 miles with no issues. I would recommend this seat to anyone looking to upgrade.
Very good fit
Bought for my 09 sporty 883. doubled riding time. very comfortable seat. even brand new sat on it and made a world of a difference.
Very comfortable!
Very comfortable and looks great!!!
great experience.
I have a Harley Sportster. As most of you know, there is some vibration at higher speeds. The seat that was on the bike did nothing to help. I purchased this seat with the help of J&P's assistance. So far, this has been an excellent seat and much more comfortable on my tush too!! Thanks J&P for helping me select the seat and the wonderful quality also. Great shipping!!
this is a great seat can ride for miles looks a feel great on my sportster XL883l superlow 2013
Mustang seats are among the best, the fit is always perfect. I had one on my 1997 Virago and bought one for my new 2014 Sporty with out a second thought. If you still have a stock seat and pile on the miles, you owe it to your butt to replace it with a Mustang seat. You won't regret it. They're super comfortable and built to last the life of your bike. And the folks at J&P are great, good service and fast shipping. Shop with confidence.
Extremely comfortable seat, good for long rides or all day on the road as well as short trips around town. If you're looking for a huge improvement over the stock seat the wide vintage won't disappoint.
Great seat super comfy. Great customer service hassle free
Just took a 5 day trip on my FXSTC and my wife on her FLSTSC. We put Mustang solo seats on both bikes before we left. What a HUGE difference in comfort. Usually on a 1 day trip with the stock Harley seat we would both have a little discomfort in our tailbones. We had no such issues with the Mustang seats and no driver fatigue. I highly recommend these seats!
this is absolutely the worst seat I've ever set on! The stock seat that is only an inch think is more comfortable than this seat. You will set up about 3 or 4 inches higher than stock and it's a brick! might as well just be setting on the frame!

The Paces Foundation, which operates out of Smyrna, Ga. went before Port St. Joe city commissioners to present plans to build 50-70 single family apartment homes to create affordable housing in North Port St. Joe.
The Paces Foundation, which operates out of Smyrna, Ga. went before Port St. Joe city commissioners to present plans to build 50-70 single family apartment homes to create affordable housing in North Port St. Joe.
The need for such housing was spearheaded for months by County Commissioner Tan Smiley and during the Wednesday workshop, Paces President Mark du Mas detailed the plans for a parcel of city-owned land off of Clifford Sims Road.
Paces would pay for the community using a tax credit program that would require the foundation to go to Tallahassee to compete for housing credits. Once awarded, Paces sells those credits to banks in order to fund their communities. After 15 years, ownership of the housing communities reverts to Paces can be sold to residents interested in purchasing their homes. During the 15-year period, the communities can be expanded based on the needs of Port St. Joe.
Paces recently opened the Panama Commons community which received a LEED Platinum status from the U.S. Green Building Council, the highest housing status in the panhandle, in energy efficiency. The Panama City community is a four-story, family-oriented apartment building that features high-efficiency plumbing fixtures and appliances, close proximity to public transit, and drought-tolerant trees and shrubs and Paces aims to bring these same efficiencies to Port St. Joe.
Ron Thomasson, President of Accrue Planning in Panama City, is a consultant for Paces and has a certification in land use, housing and economic development.
�We can�t do anything without the community�s support,� he said. �There are benefits other than affordable housing.�
Thomasson explained that the land in North Port St. Joe was chosen due to the location being close to the Commerce Park and can act as a gateway as new jobs are created with the opening of the Port.
Residents have the potential to walk to the industrial sites and green technology will save costs on utilities making more funds available to be spent locally.
According to the foundation�s plan, the city would deed the land to Pace after all grants necessary to build were approved, a process that would take approximately one year.
City attorney Tom Gibson said that the project may face potential issues if the number of homes on the parcel climbed above 100 due to zoning restrictions. The parcel is currently zoned as R1 which allows for a maximum of five units per acre.
�That is sufficient for phase one,� said Thomasson.
Rick Haymond, a development associate with Paces, showed off past projects completed in the panhandle as well as Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and South Carolina.
Each community includes a swimming pool, computer lab, fitness center, picnic area, playground and outside grills. All properties are professionally managed by Royal American Hospitality out of Panama City. Contractors for projects are hired third party vendors.
�The market is strong enough to make this project work,� said Haymond.
Projected rent levels for the units will start at $419 a month for two bedroom homes, $468 for three bedrooms and $508 for four.
Rent will be calculated according to the occupant�s income and budget. Potential renters will also be required to undergo a credit and background check, though occupant decisions will not be made solely from the results.
Mayor Mel Magidson was supportive of the idea, but wanted some time to factor the latest city budget numbers to his decision.
�It�s a great project,� said the mayor. �We need it.�
Though the project will cost the city $2,500 to get the paperwork and grant process started, Magidson asked city manager Jim Anderson to work with Gibson to ensure that the paperwork didn�t call for any additional out of pocket costs.
Once the contracts had been explored by the city, a vote could be held at future official meeting.
The Housing Credit program is governed by the U.S. Department of Treasury and awards each state an allocation based on the per capita amount of $1.75 times the state population plus the state's share of the national pool annually.
Since its inception in 1987, Florida Housing's Credit program has allocated $201 million in credits toward the production of more than 53,000 affordable rental units across the state.
The mission of the Pace Foundation, a not-for-profit, is to provide affordable housing to communities in need.
The groupis not underwritten by a large corporation and is not faith-based. The development fees that they collect on each project are rolled over to the next project.
�We�re here because we made a successful development fee somewhere else,� said Mark du Mas, president of Paces. �We�re a tool in your toolbox.�
Numbers presented showed Paces� ability to find grants and tax credits to build their properties and boasted $300 million in collected tax credits, $22 million in home loan funds and $5 million in Affordable Housing Program loan and grant funds since the group became incorporated in 1991.
The foundation is also part of the Community Housing Development Organization which requires a third of their board to be low-income residents from within their communities.
The foundation is ready to break ground on a 92-unit senior housing community in Pensacola and a 26-unit community for the mentally ill in Covington, Ga.

Scientists warn: Ultraviolet radiation from sunbeds increases skin-cancer risk
According to an opinion of the Scientific Committee on Consumer products (SCCP) to the European Commission released today, the use of ultraviolet-radiation devices, tanning lamps and sunbeds, to achieve and maintain cosmetic tanning, is likely to increase the risk of malignant melanoma of the skin. Therefore, scientists recommend that people with known risk factors, such as skin with high sunburn susceptibility, none or poor tanning ability, the presence of freckles, atypical and/or multiple moles and a family history of melanoma should not use tanning devices for cosmetic purposes. Equally, individuals under 18 should not use tanning devices since the risk of melanoma seems to be particularly high when using them at a young age. The Commission calls upon Member States and the sun-bed industry to ensure that appropriate warnings and instructions are provided with the product to prevent misuse. The Commission will also call upon standardisers to introduce UV limits in product standards, introduce guidance for industry and consumers and asks that Member States ensure that solariums apply these recommendations (see below, What will the Commission do).
Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry policy said: "The Commission calls upon Member States and the sun-bed industry to ensure that appropriate warnings and instructions are provided with sun-beds in order to reduce the risks of users developing related skin cancer. We call on Member States and industry to ensure an appropriate use of sun beds."
Commissioner Markos Kyprianou, responsible for health and consumer protection policy, has declared: "I am concerned that indiscriminate use of these tanning devices for cosmetic purposes could lead to an increased incidence of skin- cancers. We need to act rapidly in order to raise public awareness of the risks associated with sunbeds. We also need guidance to consumers to help them recognise whether they have risk factors and should not use these devices. I will propose initiatives in that respect without delay".
The main source of exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is the sun, but for some individuals substantial exposure occurs from artificial sources including sunbeds for cosmetic purposes, industrial lamps, arc welding and medical UVR therapies. There is evidence that UVR can cause damage to health. The cosmetic purpose of using a sunbed is to achieve a tan.
UVR tanning devices were not in widespread use before the 1990s and the full health effects of their use are not yet known. It will take several years before the real picture of the role of the UVR tanning devices in inducing skin cancer becomes fully apparent. Devices in use by solariums use the more powerful UV-B type of radiation.
People with known risk factors for skin cancer, especially malignant melanoma, should be advised not to use UVR tanning devices. Specifically, these are (i) skin phenotypes I and II and the presence of freckles, (ii) multiple and/or atypical moles and (iii) a family history of melanoma. Risk of melanoma seems to be particularly high when using sunbeds at a young age. Thus UVR tanning devices should not be used by individuals under the age of 18 years.
What will the Commission do?
The Commission will study the opinion and examine possible measures that could be taken, both legislative and non-legislative. The Commission considers it a high first priority to inform consumers about the recommendations of the report, and is contacting consumer organisations and Member State authorities to this effect. The Commission will prepare a guidance fiche in all official EU languages with the co-operation of European Dermatologists Association to raise public awareness on risks and guide consumers in recognising whether they are at risk.
Finally the Commission will ask that the relevant standard (EN 60335-2-27:1997) be amended, taking into account the recommendations made including those concerning irradiance.
European harmonised standards are developed by the European Standardisation
Organisations and the Commission request to change the standard will follow
under the "Low Voltage Directive" 73/23/EEC which sets the health
and safety objectives for sun-beds.

Out of sorts from start, Waino takes blame for loss
BOSTON -- Six-foot-7 Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright rose to take the mound Wednesday, banged his head on the roof of the dugout at old Fenway Park and could not have known that his World Series start was about to get even worse.
Burned by disastrous defense and mechanics so out of whack he described it as an "out-of-body experience," Wainwright slipped into a five-run deficit by the end of the second inning. While he would recover, the Cardinals never could, and they lost Game 1 to the Red Sox, 8-1, with Wainwright asking for all of the blame.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- Six-foot-7 Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright rose to take the mound Wednesday, banged his head on the roof of the dugout at old Fenway Park and could not have known that his World Series start was about to get even worse.
Burned by disastrous defense and mechanics so out of whack he described it as an "out-of-body experience," Wainwright slipped into a five-run deficit by the end of the second inning. While he would recover, the Cardinals never could, and they lost Game 1 to the Red Sox, 8-1, with Wainwright asking for all of the blame.View Full Game Coverage
He stood amid a sea of camera and microphones outside the Cardinals' clubhouse and discussed a "terrible" night, then navigated the cramped visitors' clubhouse, found more cameras and microphones waiting and discussed it some more.
In the end, when the room finally emptied, Wainwright was the last man talking.
"I watched my game back. I've seen every pitch," he said. "From the very first pitch on, I was terrible. When you come out after the fifth, you have a lot of time to watch the game over."
Now he has a lot of time to think about taking the baseball again, perhaps as early as Game 4 of the World Series on Sunday in St. Louis on three days' rest. Game 2 is on Thursday (6:30 p.m. CT air time on FOX, 7:07 first pitch).
"We're not ruling out anything moving forward," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said.
Wainwright's history suggests that his next start will be much better than this one: Five innings pitched, six hits, five runs (three earned), one notable walk and four strikeouts. He'd already thrown 60 pitches and trailed, 5-0, after two innings. He held the Sox scoreless from the third through the fifth, but took little solace in that.
"To be honest with you, I still made a lot of bad pitches," he said. "The only positive I can take away from this is I didn't show them anything that I can normally do. So next start should be a fresh start again."
Wednesday's start began inauspiciously, with the head bump followed by a walk of Boston's Jacoby Ellsbury. Seven pitches into the game, Wainwright had equaled his walk total from his previous 32 1/3 postseason innings spanning five starts, back to last year's National League Division Series.
Shane Victorino lined out to left field and Dustin Pedroia singled to center field before the Cardinals botched a potentially game-changing play. It began with a David Ortiz grounder to second baseman Matt Carpenter, and every Cardinals player, from catcher Yadier Molina to Wainwright to shortstop Pete Kozma, thinking "double play."
Instead, the Cardinals did not record an out. Carpenter's feed ticked off Kozma's glove, and while second-base umpire Dana DeMuth initially ruled Pedroia out, the call was reversed after the umpires converged.
Red Sox first baseman Mike Napoli followed, saw a 2-0 cutter he could handle, and drove it to left-center field for a bases-clearing double and a 3-0 Boston lead.
"That's what great hitters do -- they hit horrible pitches hard," Wainwright said. "You can say what you want to about the play at second base, but if I don't go out there and cast the ball in the middle of the plate, we probably get out of that inning.
Later, in the clubhouse, Molina wanted to know, "Did [the umpires] get it right?"
When the response was yes, he shrugged and said, "So it was a good call. You want the call to be right."
Even though things quickly went wrong for the Cardinals.
"That was huge. If we turn the double play right there, it's going to be a different game," Molina said.
More trouble followed in the second inning that should have begun with an easy Stephen Drew popout to the pitcher's mound. Wainwright and Molina converged, but neither caught the ball, and Drew was awarded the first of Boston's three hits in an inning that also included another Kozma error and a potentially serious injury for Cardinals right fielder Carlos Beltran.
Beltran bruised his right ribs robbing Ortiz of a grand slam in that inning and left the game. Ortiz settled for a sacrifice fly, and the Red Sox settled for a 5-0 advantage.
"That whole second inning could have been avoided if I catch the ball," Wainwright said. "The first guy pops up to me. The second guy [David Ross, who blooped a single over second base], if we're not playing double-play depth, he's back a little more and he catches that standing up, no problem, and then we've got a 1-2-3 inning. Those are the kind of mistakes you can't make against great teams, and we're in the World Series, so we're playing a great team in Boston ...
"I didn't take charge on the mound and I didn't take charge on that play, and it cost us a lot of runs."
When was the last time Molina saw Wainwright struggle like this?
"It's been a while," Molina said. "He doesn't make mistakes a lot."
Wainwright insisted his team's mistakes had nothing to do with jitters.
"I don't know what happened," he said, "but I can tell you that their starting pitcher set a bad tone. That's all I know. Hopefully, the next start I have, they'll feed off me in a positive way rather than a negative way."
The one positive?
He wasn't too badly hurt when he smacked his head on the dugout, unless you count his pride.
"I'm all right," Wainwright said. "This is a dugout made for shorter people. Trust me, that did not have anything to do with anything. It may have knocked the sense out of me. Apparently, it didn't knock it into me."

COLLEGE PARK, Md., Oct. 2 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama, as much as House Republicans, shut down the federal government. He isn't willing to compromise on just about any issue, leaving the GOP with no other options.
In 2008, Obama won 53 percent of the popular vote and commanding Democratic majorities in Congress.
Faced with an economic crisis and carrying a mandate to accomplish universal access to health insurance, Obama was justified to take bold actions. However, as the leader of a democracy, he had the obligation to weigh the views of the 47 percent who voted for U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and forge consensus where possible.
Yet, over Republican objections, the president abused a fund established to aid troubled banks to bail out GM and Chrysler. To reward autoworkers for campaign support, he confiscated private property by awarding 55 percent of the stock to the union healthcare trust instead of Chrysler's creditors as U.S. bankruptcy law requires.
He rewarded Wall Street bankers who supported his campaign with new lending regulations that help them acquire regional banks. Now, more than half of the nation's deposits are concentrated among a handful of Manhattan casinos, middle-class Americans can't get decent rates on savings and small businesses can't get adequate credit.
Obama imposed other regulations in manufacturing and energy production that reward his constituents, punish his opponents and slows growth in an economy increasingly challenged to create enough well-paying jobs.
Prior to the Affordable Care Act, every major piece of social legislation was accomplished by seeking a bipartisan consensus.
Instead, Democratic leaders Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Harry Reid, D-Nev., wholly excluded Republicans from deliberations and created an unpopular system that compels businesses to purchase health insurance for employees and individuals lacking employer polices to purchase plans through government-run exchanges.
Through town meetings, polls and a U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, Americans expressed opposition. Yet, Democratic leaders packaged the final legislation into a budget reconciliation bill, avoiding the need to win any GOP votes in the Senate -- an unprecedented maneuver for such a major piece of legislation.
The individual mandate also raised serious constitutional challenges but Obama proceeded to warn Chief Justice John Roberts not to mess with his law at the 2012 State of the Union Address. Caving to pressure, Roberts wrote a decision whose legal reasoning few ideologically neutral legal scholars could approve.
Micromanaging one-sixth of the U.S. economy is proving to be a nightmare. Facing huge rate increases and burdensome regulations, businesses are dropping insurance coverage Obama promised ordinary Americans they would be able to keep.
In 2010, Republicans won control of the House on a platform to curb spending and repeal ACA. Obama's 2012 re-election was hardly a mandate to implement the law without substantial changes because Republicans again won the House on promises to repeal the law.
Congressional Republicans behaved badly -- demanding wholesale repeal of the law, when they simply don't have the votes in the Senate and Obama is still president.
However, in the more recent effort to craft a continuing resolution to keep the government funded, they have indicated significant willingness to deliver what Americans expect -- compromise.
Asking the president to postpone the individual mandate one year, as he has done for the employer mandate, and requiring member of Congress and their staff members to obtain health insurance on the same terms the ACA requires for ordinary Americans are quite reasonable. The president's refusal to accept any changes in the ACA and special treatment for politicians is tyranny.
Terms Republicans have laid down for raising the debt ceiling -- more development of offshore oil, rethinking financial reform and changes to other regulatory policies -- are broadly consistent with the public sentiment for a focus on jobs creation.
If the debt ceiling isn't raised by Oct. 17, the United States need not default on its debt as the president threatens. The U.S. Treasury continues to collect taxes and the president will simply have to prioritize what bills he pays, what services he suspends, and place interest payments ahead of other items.
Realizing presidents shape the public dialogue in crises, Obama is pressuring House Republicans to deny their obligations to constituents lest he put on them the blame for a government shutdown and perhaps a default.

Hello readers of my horribly neglected blog. I'm truly sorry to have been missing in action for so many weeks! Fall is upon us and school is in full swing (as you all know). Time gets away from me when life is busy and life is busy.
I am presently recovering from pneumonia and let me tell you it's taking it's sweet time leaving me. Gratefully I have the support of my wonderful assistant and amazing husband who can fill in for me and make this place continue to run smoothly.
I'm very blessed to have such supportive people in my life. Today I visited the children on the playground so they wouldn't forget my face. The cheers and hugs were such an unexpected gift to walk out and receive. I almost teared up.
I love my job. Running one's own preschool/child care program is a lot of work. But the rewards are countless. Nobody is getting rich doing this work but I do feel valued and important and everyday is worth all the work that goes on behind the scenes. This week is our first of four family pot-lucks. I can't wait.
Hopefully this time I will remember to take photos!

Gunman Warned Girlfriend Before Killing 5, Himself in Kentucky Factory Rampage
HENDERSON, Ky. – A man who killed five people and himself in a rampage at a western Kentucky plastics plant called his girlfriend two hours before the rampage to warn her that he was going to kill his boss, police said Wednesday.
Police said Wesley N. Higdon, 25, had an argument with his supervisor about wearing safety goggles and using his cell phone while was at his press machine Tuesday.
Later that night, as the supervisor escorted him from the building, Higdon shot him, apparently using a .45-caliber pistol he kept in his car. Then, he charged into a break room and the plant floor and kept shooting before turning the gun himself, police said.
"He just walked in, looked like he meant business, and started shooting at everybody," Henderson Police Sgt. John Nevels said at a news conference.
A man who called 911 frantically described the violent scene to a dispatcher, tallying up the number of dead around him.
"There's more than two people dead. There's like one, two, three, four, five people dead," the man said. "The supervisor is dead, too."
The killings stunned the sleepy Ohio River town of about 28,000 people, where a local leader said many residents know or are related to a worker at the plant. The plant, operated by Atlanta-based Atlantis plastics, employs about 150 people and makes parts for refrigerators and plastic siding for homes.
Henderson County Coroner Bruce Farmer identified the supervisor as Kevin G. Taylor, 30, of Dixon. The slain co-workers were Trisha Mirelez, 25; Rachael Vasquez, 26 and Joshua Hinojosa, 28, all of Sebree; and Israel Monroy, 29, of Henderson. Shooting survivor Noelia Monroy, Israel's sister, was hospitalized in nearby Evansville, Ind.
"Our whole community is in shock," Henderson County Judge-Executive Sandy Watkins said.
Employees at the company were sent home Wednesday, but the company said that it hoped to resume limited operations at night. Atlantis Plastics CEO Bud Philbrook told The Associated Press in an interview in Atlanta that the company was reeling.
"It's just total shock. It's something you read about in the paper," Philbrook said.
Investigators were trying to piece together the timing of the shooting spree. Philbrook said that Higdon didn't appear to have any previously disciplinary problems at the plant.
Nevels said family members told detectives that Higdon kept a .45 caliber pistol in his car almost all the time, which is permissible in Kentucky.
Four of the victims were members of St. Michael's Catholic Church in Sebree, Ky., said the Rev. Jason McClure, who had spent much of the morning with the victims' families.
"They are very upset and hurting deeply and just trying to figure out what to do next," McClure said.
In a news release on the company's Web site, Atlantis Plastics said it is a leading U.S. manufacturer of three kinds of products: polyethylene stretch films for wrapping pallets of materials, custom films for industrial and packaging uses, and molded plastic pieces used in products such as appliances and recreational vehicles.
The company has annual sales of $110 million, according to business directory Hoovers.
