Need a little help with amount of food. I need to lose 20 pounds and reduce cholesterole. Planning my menus would be easier if I knew what amounts to eat, how much starch, is there a limit on fruit, servings of protein foods, etc. Or, is this the wrong approach?Can someone give me some direction on this please?thanks.
This program is has unlimited recommendations for fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes! The idea is that if you make this qualitative shift in your diet, the quantity works itself out. The fiber in these foods will fill you up along with abundant nutrients and fewer digestible calories.
What should be limited or eliminated are fatty foods like oil and highly-refined foods like sugar, white bread, etc.
So, there are no serving size recommendations with our meal ideas, because they are low-fat and vegan. Eat until you are satisfied.

I seem to have the opposite issue - the kickstart menu has much too much food for me. I'm a petite older gal, very active on my little farm, but can't eat the volume of food offered. I need to scale it down. Not sure if I can follow the menu ideas without gaining weight!
Luckily I love to cook, not so fond of eating, but I'm going to follow the menu, just eat small servings. This way I can cook extra of another day!
Great ideas! Lovin it! P

Hey reddog,
I so empathize with your concern - as a veteran dieter, portion sizes ruled the day to keep us in a correct calorie allotment and it can make you feel a bit out of control without those guidelines.
Susan underscores a note of huge importance - with a whole foods, low fat plant foods diet your body can be your guide. This is the only way those of us with a predisposition to easily gain weight (I fought my weight problem for 30 years or more and finally budged off my all-time high 17 years ago with whole foods plant-based, never to look back - if that helps! ) can eat according to appetite. And that is the beauty of it!
I find that when people come to me for help with 'how much' that they are best reassured when I show them how much I can - do - and MUST eat with this eating style. It's a wonderful way to live.

Great advice Deb and that's exactly what I suggest people do.
However, there's another component that I don't want to skim over - and that is the fear that comes up with stepping into eating freedom. It's the caged bird all over again, and is important to address. I recommend people in this kind of transition to practice stress reduction activity - such as any form of meditation or breathing exercise - to help deal with the anxiety of this change. It was critical for me.
Let me ask you DebR - do you think it is helpful for people to see a guide of amounts, not from a limiting standpoint, but from the standpoint of how much they can really eat? In my experience when people see that my meal included not "1/2 cup of rice' or '1/2 of a potato', but 1.5 cups of rice and 3 potatoes - they are always encouraged and the door to the cage budges open a bit more. Interested in your thoughts!
Not so much - for me, I look at it and think "yeah, but she does x amount of exercise or doesn't have y health issues, so that's way too much/too little/whatever for me." I do much better just seeing the 'standard' serving size and nutritional info (calories, carbs, fiber, protein, etc.) and then starting with one serving - "okay, I had one serving of diced alien stomach and I felt like this. It had this much of this and that much of that. next time, I'll try having less/more and see how I feel" (BTW 'alien stomach' is our family nickname for celery root no actual aliens harmed in the preparation of that food) But then again I do software testing for a living, so that test, evaluate, retry, type cycle is how I think.
Thanks. Just to clarify, then you would respond well to a description that said for daily consumption, x servings of vegetables, x servings of....? The need to have a guideline is so immediate and takes time to override.
PLUS people seem to think I exercise all the time - just because I teach and coach fitness. My message is simple, easy, moderate and when you get the food right everything else goes so much better.
That's pretty much what I do (based on the kickstart) - I try to get a certain amount of fruits, veggies, whole grains, proteins in each day and vary things (spinach, kale, bok choy, chard, etc. for leafy greens - not just one kind over and over). I know that, for me, if I start to get too grain heavy, it becomes a problem (weight, glucose) even if they're good whole grains (barley, quinoa, oats, brown rice, and so on). So, I try to keep to smaller portions of grains and lots of assorted veggies. Also, having someone say "4 servings per day of this" is what I'd consider a very flexible base point but I could end up finding that 2 servings of that, or 6 servings of that, is a better fit for me. Yeah, I want to make the decisions myself...control issues I guess --DebR

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Tuesday is a busy day for the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. First, the committee will examine the challenges and advantages of an increasing number of seniors engaging in entrepreneurial activity. It will also conduct a nomination hearing for Maria Contreras-Sweet, President Obama's pick to head the Small Business Administration. Meanwhile, the Senate Committee on the Budget will be reviewing the Congressional Budget Office's latest report — The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2014-2024. Other topics covered by hearings this week include: the rapid growth of wireless technology and the Internet of Things, regulatory burdens, open science and innovation at the EPA, monetary policy and the minimum wage.
Are governments wasting their time and money with all of their efforts to promote entrepreneurial growth in their communities and countries? Not quite, but they could certainly be spending their resources more wisely. A new report from the Kauffman Foundation argues "despite billions of dollars in government research expenditures, the presence of research universities and patents are not associated with higher rates of entrepreneurship" and "the public sector can affect few significant factors to encourage entrepreneurship."
The big topic on Capitol Hill this week is protecting consumer privacy with one committee hearing in the House and three in the Senate. In late 2013, Target suffered a massive data breach affecting up to 110 million customers and they will be represented at two of the hearings — along with representatives from Neiman Marcus, Symantec, Consumers Union, U.S. Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, Federal Trade Commission and more. Other topics covered by hearings this week include: the 2014 budget, inefficiencies in federal programs for small businesses, Dodd-Frank's Volcker Rule, financial research and the commercialization of space.
Bit by bit, entrepreneurs throughout the U.S. are picking up confidence along the road to economic recovery — and they are willing to put their money where their mouth is. The latest Startup Confidence Index from the Kauffman Foundation and LegalZoom shows a greater willingness from entrepreneurs to put personal savings toward new business ventures. Personal savings as a means for funding the startup jumped from 66 percent in 2012 to 86 percent in 2013.
Toward the tail end of 2013, we highlighted a couple of reports that pointed to a fairly stable angel market in the U.S. The latest from one of those reports, the Halo Report — from Angel Resource Institute (ARI), Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and CB Insights — may suggest reason for a bit of concern. According to the report, median angel round sizes are down $180,000 per deal since Q1 2013 ($700,000 to $520,000).
Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation--courtesy of Innovation America. Below, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories compiled from the last week on developing entrepreneurial ecosystems, Bitcoin, the Series A crunch, state-sponsored VC and entrepreneurship trends for 2014.
One of the most commonly cited — and ambiguous — laws of the internet is 'fair use'. Some consider it a loophole to copyright protection while others — like a couple of witnesses at an upcoming congressional hearing — have called it vital to creative communities or even "the secret sauce of U.S. cultural competitiveness." This week, the House Judiciary Committee examines 'The Scope of Fair Use' and whether or not Congress needs to adjust the current formulation of fair use in the Copyright Act. Other topics covered by hearings in the House and Senate this week include: financial research, fighting the war on poverty through economic growth, the small business trade agenda and the impact of the Affordable Care Act's employer mandate on full-time jobs.
The Securities and Exchange Commission is looking for feedback from entrepreneurs and small business owners on a proposed rule to implement equity-based crowdfunding as required by the Jumpstart Our Business Startup (JOBS) Act.

Midwest Living Review
It's funny that this place bills itself as a fudge shop -- looking back on our trip, we thought of it as a toy shop that sells fudge. No matter. You'll get quality either way. Located in a 1837 building along Madison's Main Street, Madison Fudge Factory tempts patrons inside by arranging colorful vignettes of stuffed animals and toys out front on the sidewalk. It worked for us (and we bought the stuffed collie sitting in the wagon!). Inside, you'll find creative toys designed to inspire kids' imagination. The wares here are of the Melissa & Doug variety -- good quality, well-made and nothing digital or video-game related to be found. It's a fun place to browse, but before you leave with just a new toy, head to the back room and try some fudge. There are dozens of kinds for sale, and it's smooth creaminess will make you want to take a box home with you.

No, it was a case of me posting and then going to check my facts and you posting in the meantime.
Apparently 'Sto Lat' is a song sung in Poland on birthdays and it means something like - 'may you live for a 100 years'.
I have no idea about Sto Helit, but I've often thought that 'Sto Plains' might mean 'Stop Lanes' as in those escape lanes you sometimes get on very steep hills. The Sto Plains are at the bottom of the Ramtops after all.

Ok, since I last posted I've gotten addicted to golf again. I've now got some more technical questions. I want to lower my ball flight off the tee.
I hadn't ever had my swing speed tested until last week. I went to 2 different Golfsmith's and tried a couple different simulators at each store. What I felt was a normal swing was consistently in the mid 130s. I still don't think it's accurate.
I hit all of my clubs very high. Which for the most part I like. If the wind is at my back or there is no wind I hit high long tee shots but if the wind is in my face I get it way up in that and my ball completely dies.
My current shaft is an 'Ahina 72 x-stiff with a Titleist 910 D3 head I adjusted it down to 8.75 degree. I've spent hours at the range and I've never once hit a low trajectory tee shot with it.
I've heard that adding lead tape to the shaft will help weight down the shaft and could lower ball flight. But does anyone know where I should add it? I would think not on the head because that would make the shaft flex more and increase my loft. Would I want to add it near the balance point of the shaft? I've googled it and most people talk about adding tape to the head.
Appreciate any help
I guess spin is what I'm looking to reduce. I guess is it possible to increase the shaft weight without buying a new shaft? After some more reading I'm not sure it's possible.
Couple pics from Mamala Bay Golf Course here on base in Hawaii.
The marine course has even more incredible views, but I have a new phone so don't have any of those.
From my perspective it could be a number of things. Do you have a high ball flight on all your clubs or just your driver? I am a high ball hitter, especially with my irons, but can somewhat control it with my driver. I am sure it has to do with the loft on my clubs as well as kickpoint (?) I think. I think that a high ball flight is a result of a steep downswing.
If its just your driver I would make sure that you have the ball positioned properly. If its too far forward you may be hitting it on the upswing causing a high flight. Also make sure that you aren't falling back when you hit the ball. If your falling back you are lofting the club at impact. That is all I have.
It is all my clubs. I didn't mind it when I played a lot in Indiana but in Texas there's never not a strong wind.
Since last night I've read that a lot of people are of the opinion that you can really only get accurate stats if you're using a launch monitor outside.
I'm very new at learning about different types of shafts. I've been told so many different things. I took a lesson with an old pro because it was cheap and his suggestion was to change my swing with the driver so it wasn't steep and try a flat swing. I really don't want to do that but I've considered it.
Obviously, the best way to go about this is to go to a good fitter and get hooked up on the launch monitor and have them measure launch angle and spin rate and try a bunch of different setups. But short of that, there are things you can try.
With that high a swing speed, some people have had success switching to a heavier shaft. I'm guessing yours is a 70g shaft (72 in the name). That's on the heavier side for driver shafts, but some manufacturers recommend 80 grams for swing speeds that high. Or you may need a higher "swingweight" (I'm not going to try to explain that here). Adding a bit of lead tape to the clubhead would accomplish that.
You can also have them "tip" the shaft, which is just fitter lingo for trimming more from the tip of the shaft and less from the butt than standard to get to the right overall length. This will will generally reduce spin, but can reduce feel for some players.
I used to be a real geek about this stuff and I have experimented with all kinds of setups. That's the benefit of doing all my own shafts. It's not hard to do and you can usually find high quality shafts used online. But I found a setup that works for me across all my clubs so I haven't kept close to it. But I recall the most popular low launch low spin shaft being the Diamana whiteboard. I think the Axivcore green and Proforce V2 red were also considered good quality shafts with this profile, and less expensive than the whiteboard.
Do you ever tee off with a fairway wood? How is your launch on that?
I need a new 3w. Mine was older and the head cracked sometime last year. I don't think I could really take much from how i used to hit that anyway. It was cheap and an R flex. I should probably spend a little money and get a good one.
Hit your buddies and/or demo some. Then head to ebay to see if you can get one lightly used but half the cost. If it doesn't say Titleist you can find a deal.

A face-lift (rhytidectomy) is a cosmetic surgical procedure to improve the look of your face and neck.
During a face-lift, facial soft tissues are lifted, excess skin is removed and skin is draped back over the newly repositioned contours. A neck lift (platysmaplasty) is often done as part of a face-lift.
You might choose to have a face-lift if your facial skin is beginning to droop — a common occurrence with aging. A face-lift might also boost your self-confidence.
A face-lift, however, won't affect the quality of your facial skin. If you have wrinkles or sun damage, you might also consider a skin-resurfacing procedure. A face-lift can be done in combination with some other cosmetic procedures, such as a brow lift or eyelid surgery.
As you get older, your facial skin changes — sagging and becoming loose. This can make the lower part of your face appear rectangular in shape. A face-lift can give your face a more youthful heart-like shape.
You might consider a face-lift if:
A face-lift isn't a treatment for superficial wrinkles, sun damage, creases around the nose and upper lip, or irregularities in skin color.
A face-lift poses various risks, including:
Like any other type of major surgery, a face-lift poses a risk of bleeding, infection and an adverse reaction to anesthesia.
A face-lift isn't for everyone. Your doctor might caution against a face-lift if you:
Initially, you'll talk to a plastic surgeon about a face-lift. During your first visit, your plastic surgeon will likely:
Before a face-lift you might also need to:
A face-lift can be done in a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility. Sometimes the procedure is done with sedation and local anesthesia, which numbs only part of your body. In other cases, general anesthesia — which renders you unconscious — is recommended.
Techniques used to remove facial skin and reposition facial and neck tissues vary depending on your desired results. The specific technique your plastic surgeon chooses will determine the location of the incisions and the resulting scars.
Your doctor might use one or more of the following techniques:
After making the incisions, your doctor will sculpt or redistribute fat from your face, jowls or neck and redistribute the underlying tissues. He or she might also use a suction technique to remove fat (liposuction). In some cases fat suctioned from other areas of your body might need to be added to specific areas of your face.Your skin will then be draped over the new contours and excess skin will be removed. Stitches or tape will be used to close the incisions.
A face-lift generally takes two to four hours but might take longer if other cosmetic procedures are done at the same time.
After a face-lift, your incisions will likely be covered with bulky bandages that provide gentle pressure to minimize swelling and bruising. A small tube might be placed under the skin behind one or both of your ears to drain any excess blood or fluid.
In the first few days after a face-lift:
Avoid drinking alcohol — which can cause blood vessels to widen and lead to bleeding — for at least two weeks.
Ask your doctor when it's OK to resume daily activities, such as washing and drying your hair, bathing and other routine physical activities.
You'll probably see your doctor the day after your face-lift. The doctor will likely remove your drainage tube, apply antibiotic ointment to your incisions and place new bandages on your face. Two to three days after your face-lift, you'll likely be able to switch from wearing bandages to an elasticized facial sling.
Your doctor will likely remove your stitches during separate visits within five to 14 days after your face-lift. He or she will also carefully check your incisions for ingrown hairs, which need to be removed to prevent infection and inflammation.
Your incisions will crust as they begin to heal. Don't pick at the crusts.
You might prefer to remain home while you're recovering from a face-lift. A week after your face-lift, you can begin using makeup to the edge of your scars to conceal any redness or bruising. Avoid unprotected sun exposure until your scars are no longer pink.
After a face-lift, contact your doctor immediately if you have:
By smoothing loose skin, a face-lift can give your face and neck a more youthful appearance.
Women typically achieve better results after a face-lift than do men. This is because men have thicker facial skin and larger parotid glands — a type of salivary gland located in the cheeks — than do women. As a result, men's cheeks might still appear full after a face-lift.
Keep in mind that face-lift results aren't permanent. As you age your facial skin might begin to droop again. Sun damage can also age your skin.

Use this search to find birth announcements and notices in the historical newspaper archives. This online collection contains birth records as published in U.S. newspapers from 1767-1999.
Broad Birth Record Search
When searching birth announcements in the newspaper archives, you may initially try entering the first and last name of the child and the year that child was born.
Note that birth notices are sometimes published in newspapers before the newborn is named. If you do not find your target person, follow up by searching using only the surname and expand the date range spanning a year or two before and after when you think the child was born. You may need to select a location in order to narrow the birth record search results.
Search for Siblings
To search for siblings in the birth records archive, search using the family surname and follow up with a search using the father's first and last name along with a 100-year date range. Births, marriages, and obituaries often named the parents and other relatives of the target person. Gathering all of the relevant articles about a family will help you to complete your family tree.

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Most Americans greeted the 20th century with optimism. The early decades saw economic growth and the expansion of democracy as women gained the vote. But two world wars, the Great Depression, and the nuclear age later tested such confidence.
Representing a Changing Nation
While foreign affairs tugged at America's attention, the House remained focused on the home front. Early in the century, many Midwestern Populists and Progressives held strong pacifist and isolationist beliefs, rejecting international involvement. A major concern of many members was the 1920 Census and its potential effect on redistributing House seats among states.
Even as the unsettled climate abroad threatened, domestic concerns continued to dominate the House in the 1930s. Representatives eagerly rallied behind a plan to combat the Great Depression by paying veterans an early advance bonus, and supported President Roosevelt's "100 Days" legislation.
A Domestic Focus
Why did the House concentrate primarily on domestic concerns, leaving foreign policy to the presidency? Two factors kept representatives' attention at home. First, as domestic policy grew increasingly technical, it demanded greater expertise—and attention.
Second, presidents consistently showed superior leadership in foreign and economic policies. Compared with the more fragmented chorus in the House, the president's ability to speak with a single voice and take a broader approach to these national issues gave the executive branch an important advantage.
Every decade, the Census determines the size of each state's House delegation. Before 1913 (when membership reached 435), total House membership expanded steadily as the population grew—with some states getting more members while others kept the same number even if their population decreased. The chamber became increasingly crowded, forcing members to abandon individual desks on the floor in favor of compact theater-style seating.
The 1920 Census raised a new dilemma. More than half the population now lived in cities and towns. Rural states fought suggestions to shrink their delegations. Other members, meanwhile, resisted enlarging the already packed House. Congress broke the stalemate before the 1930 Census by deciding to keep the number at 435, with individual states gaining and losing seats after each Census.
The Great Depression devastated families and shattered lives. By 1933, one in four American workers was unemployed. People were desperate. Representative Wright Patman of Texas, a World War I veteran, introduced a bill for early payment of a $1,000 veterans' bonus, originally scheduled to be awarded in 1945.
Veterans rallied behind the idea. More than 20,000 of them marched on Washington to show their support. The House passed Patman's bill. The Senate did not. Standing on the Capitol plaza, Patman personally announced the results to the veterans. Most left Washington—but not all. A few weeks later, the U.S. Army forcibly removed the remaining "Bonus Marchers." Press photos and news-reels of their eviction turned many against the Hoover administration, which had ordered the action.
"He had just as well try to sweep back the waves of the ocean with a broom."
—Representative Wright Patman of Texas on President Hoover's dilemma with the Bonus Marchers, 1932
In 1916, four years before women nationwide won the right to vote, Montana's Jeannette Rankin—the first woman elected to Congress—captured a House seat. (Montana granted women the vote in 1914.) A fighter for woman suffrage, the dedicated pacifist also was among 50 House members opposing U.S. entry into World War I.
Rankin narrowly lost a race for the Senate in 1918 but returned to the House in 1941. That December, as Pearl Harbor still smoldered from the Japanese attack, Rankin cast the sole vote against war. "As a woman I can't go to war," she said, "and I refuse to send anyone else." After the vote, Rankin had to barricade herself in a phone booth until the Capitol Police escorted her to safety.
"As a woman I can't go to war ... and I refuse to send anyone else."
—Representative Jeannette Rankin of Montana, 1941
Nazi Germany occupied Western Europe. Japanese forces were expanding across Asia. Many Americans became convinced that the United States faced grave threats. Were we ready? Early in 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress to extend the term of military service. But draftees, conscripted for one year, wanted to finish and go home. Could America afford to let them go?
"Things are changing fast," observed the new House Speaker, Sam Rayburn of Texas, "and matters are becoming more complicated and dangerous every day." As the Senate passed an 18-month extension for draftees, Rayburn lobbied House members to go along. That August, in a roll call vote, the extension squeaked through the House by one vote, 203–202. Four months later, Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor. America was at war.
"The responsibility rests solely with the Congress."
—President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1941

The Stroble Center for Liturgy at Saint Louis University will present monk, musician, and spiritual teacher Fr. Cyprian Consiglio in concert on Friday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m.
The concert will be held in the St. Louis Room of Busch Student Center at Saint Louis University and is free and open to the public. Fr. Cyprian will also lead a Lenten retreat on Saturday March 19 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the same location. There is a suggested donation of $15 for the retreat, and reservations are required by calling 314-977-7200. Event details are available at liturgy.slu.edu/events.
Fr. Cyprian Consiglio, a contemplative Camaldolese monk, is an internationally-known performer, recording artist, and composer. He has published numerous collections of sacred, world and liturgical music. A student of the world's spiritual traditions, he has offered retreats and conferences around the globe.
The concert, "Compassionate and Wise," will include world music from a variety of spiritual traditions. Fr. Cyprian will combine music, prayer, and contemplation to draw his listeners into a meditative experience. The retreat, "Dying and Rising: Preparing for Easter" will include morning prayer and two spiritual presentations, and will conclude with the celebration of the Eucharist.
Well-known liturgical composer Fr. John Foley, S. J., calls Fr. Cyprian "one of the finest musicians I have ever heard. He not only plays and sings music, but he becomes the music. If you want an experience that touches your soul, come and listen."
The Stroble Center for Liturgy at Saint Louis University enlivens, enriches and deepens the celebration of the Eucharist by enabling Catholics to participate more fully in the Mass, by advancing the composition of liturgical music, and by teaching students about the riches of Catholic liturgy.

Thank you for your help so far. And a few final questions before I send the translation on Monday
1) Is papervine a real plant or another invention by the author?
2) When Cookie was describing the "coffin" harpooner, he said: "Had more tattoos than the Edinburgh festival" What did he mean?
3) Before his fight with the Nation chief, Cox complained: "You wouldn't find the Brigade of Guards coming over all treasonable like this, my word, no!"
Thank you!

My name is Aaralyn Oakley-Wheeler, and lost my husband to the merciless disease of early onset Alzheimers/Picks Disease in December of 2009. Jim was a retired officer of the U.S. Marine Corp. A tall, straping handsome man. He was diagnosed in early March of 2006, upon finding out that he was having difficulty performing his job. He had retired for the Marines in 1995 and worked as an Infrastructure Analyst at DSCC (government facility). To say that my life stopped on a dime that day would be an understatement.
My father just passed away 3 weeks ago from Alzheimer's disease. I am his daughter...I was his caretaker for a year and half before he passed. His life was an active healthy life till this happened. We never knew what hit us. It was a slow and very long nightmare. It was heartbreaking and exhausting. It was enlightening yet hopeless. He was brave put powerless to stop his brain from dying a slow death. He was helpless and so were those who loved him. He would never again have a normal life....there was no more normal for him or those who cared for him.
My Mother will be 87 in June. She has had Alzheimers for 10 years. When we could not longer care for her at home, she was placed in a great facility for Alzheimer patients. Through the 10 years, my Mother has been so very happy, cordial, loves music, dances, and loves people. On the other hand, she knows not her family, knows not what she eats, where to go, where to stay, and has to be shown and helped with all aspects of her care. I wrote my grief down on paper, and wrote a song called "Fading Memories", had it recorded, and thought I could really do some good for Alzheimers.

Affordable Cross-Ram
If you are looking for something radical to make your early small-block Camaro stand out from the competition, check out Ground Up's new cross-ram setup. This heavy-duty cross-ram setup is a sure way to get noticed at car shows, and the manufacturer claims it will boost horsepower and low-end torque on the track. It differs from other cross-ram kits on the market in that it does not feature original GM part numbers or stampings of any kind, making it a great lower-cost alternative to an original GM cross-ram setup. It's also perfect for a Z/28 re-creation. The kit includes two 600-cfm double pumpers and a fuel line set. Ground Up also sells a variety of add-on accessories for a complete installation. For more information call Ground Up at 866.358.2277 or visit them online at www.ss396.com.
Precision Flow Injectors
New low-impedance injectors from FAST are designed for high-horsepower, boosted engines looking for a single-injector set solution. While other performance and racing applications may need to run two injectors per cylinder to flow a high volume of fuel, FAST Precision-Flow 220-lb/hr low-impedance fuel injectors are each designed to flow 220 pounds per hour for applications making up to 3,500 horsepower. Featuring a minitimer connector, they measure 2.550 inches from O-ring to O-ring. They are compatible with both gasoline and alcohol fuel. FAST Precision-Flow 220-lb/hr low-impedance fuel injectors are XFITM compatible and feature the iconic FAST logo. Available individually or in a complete set of eight. To learn more call FAST at 877.334.8355 or go to www.fuelairspark.com.
Second-generation Cams
The latest Lunati asymmetrical camshafts, the new TL2 (flat tappet) and the TR2 (solid roller) designed for small- and big-block Chevrolet racing engines, are quite the marvels. Both series of camshafts were designed using the latest technology and feature increased lobe lift—therefore greater valve lift. They were specifically developed for short track Modified applications, Dirt Late Models, Sprint cars, and drag and street/strip vehicles. Depending on valvetrain weight, the new TL2 and TR2 camshafts provide stability up to 8,800 rpm. TL2 prices start at $187.06 and TR2 at $337.16 with custom grinds available as further attractive options. For more information contact Lunati at 662.892.1500 or visit www.lunatipower.com.
Wiredless EFI
MSD Performance is proud to introduce its next generation of Atomic EFI—the all-new Atomic LS platform. Where last year's Atomic TBI consolidated electronics and sensors into the throttle body itself, the Atomic LS platform incorporates the electronics into the fuel rails. The Atomic LS wiredless design mounts simply and cleanly on the engine, greatly improving the overall aesthetics under the hood. MSD Atomic EFI systems were designed with two major goals: to simplify EFI and deliver better overall performance to your engine. Simplicity is achieved through wiredless technology to ease installation, plus the Atomic is simple to program with no PC required. Performance is delivered through advanced control of the fuel and ignition. Two master kits are being launched, PN 2950 for LS2/LS3 engines, and PN 2960 for the LS7. These kits are designed for factory-style intake manifolds and injectors. For more information, call MSD at 915.855.7123 or go to www.msdperformance.com.
Strong Arming
Eliminate wheelhop on the street and launch harder at the strip in your fifth-gen Camaro with a set of adjustable trailing arms from BMR Suspension. Superior to the factory stamped steel arms, these adjustable trailing arms are constructed from 1.25-inch DOM steel and 3⁄16-inch CNC laser-cut mounting plates. The BMR adjustable trailing arms (PN TCA033) utilize low-friction, Teflon-lined spherical rod ends to eliminate bind and provide length adjustment. When used in conjunction with other adjustable rear suspension links (control arms and toe rods), the BMR adjustable trailing arms allow a wider range of alignment settings for various racing applications. Available in black hammertone or red powdercoat. Visit www.bmrsuspension.com or call 813.986.9302 for more information.
LED the Way
The Eastwood Company has launched a new SMD LED retractable work light flashlight combo. SMD, otherwise known as Surface Mount LED, is the next level of LED lighting. The Eastwood work light features 30 powerful SMD LEDs that emit over 200 lumens and are two times more powerful than the same count of regular LEDs. Featuring a retractable body, the user can control the amount of light with a simple sliding action. This rechargeable work light is fully charged in 4-6 hours and offers 1.5 hours of run-time. This light is tough enough for automotive and shop use but also great for around the house. For more information go to www.eastwood.com/cp713 or call 800.343.9353 source code CP713.

And the winner of the Derby Day Giveaway is....... kinglilman
We will draw a winner for the Derby Day Giveaway contest in the next week or two and post the results. The winner will receive $1500 in place of the original trip to the FL Derby or SA Derby.
We are continuing to make progress and some things should hopefully start happening in the next month or two. Thank you for your patience.
We just wanted to give an update that we are continuing to move forward on the migration. As mentioned previously in our introduction the migration is taking some time as we knew it would. It is difficult to estimate the exact amount of time in relationship to the work that needs to be done but we can say that we are well into the process.
It's been almost ten years since we moved this game to the web, and I want to thank everyone for being a part of this great journey and transition! I'm so excited to announce that Virtual Sports, the absolute leader in horse racing games, is in the process of taking control of our company. The final phase of the hand-off will occur at the end of next month.
Some players have recently been inquiring about what is going on. We just wanted to say hello and make an official announcement that we are indeed in the middle of a migration to Virtual Sports, Inc. The overall process is going to take some time but will be a positive to HorseRaceGame.com once completed.
I want to congratulate all the annual winners and the December winners. You all did a great job managing your horses and stables. What an exciting year! December and Annual Bonus Rewards winners will be posted in the community by tomorrow. All winners should receive a private message notification from our prize team within the next couple of days.
We are having a technical issue trying to publish Blue trainer tournaments. We know what the issue is and will resolve by Monday . I am sorry for any inconvenience this is causing for our players.
As mentioned in my post a few weeks ago, we're rolling out the new White Tournaments, which are singe-race events and structurally similar to Greens.
As mentioned last week, a whole slew of game features are being released over the next several days. Some of these features are already released. All of them will be available no later than Thursday.
First, we want to apologize for not communicating or providing any significant updates over the last couple of months, particularly since we announced potential changes in the stable management program.
In order to enhance player activity, we are going to try to motivate players to become more active with the horses sitting in their stable. In order to do this, we may be required to implement a fee (game points) for all horses sitting in a player's stable that have not entered a tournament over a certain period of time.
We have been making and are about to complete some small changes to stay compliant with the fantasy and skill gaming laws which allow us to accept major credit cards. The Puzzle Program and the Championship Race Program will no longer have cash payouts. The payouts have been modified, and where applicable for VIP players, have changed from gift cards to game points.
I'm proud to announce that Horse Racing Park and Horse Race Game, two long-time highly-respected horse racing games, have formed a synergistic working relationship to increase the overall quality of each respective game and eventually provide additional engaging features.
With the new desktop client release, some players are asking about why their retired horses are no longer showing. It's a two-step process which I'm sure most of the players have already figured out. After you have installed the new desktop client extension, the first update puts all your horses in the Trainer 9000 file including your old retired horses, if they had a BSR above, I believe, 135.
All the modified change to the desktop client are finally now available. These include resolving issues for players who were not able to open the game or the game would not start. In addition, the following other changes have been made:
• Community Horses – In the update we have reverted back to the old community horses and their attributes.
Tournament races are based on the official server time

It's said that good things come in small packages. But when Laurie Hekking's '59 Corvette first arrived at Jim Barr's shop, Barr's Performance in Naples, Florida, more than five years ago, it came in small packages, big packages, really big packages-the very definition of a basket case.
"There was nothing there," recalls Jim. "Most of the parts had been lost over the years."
Laurie had purchased the '59 from a friend after that friend lost interest in the project. His efforts stalled when he realized how much time (and funds) would be needed to bring this '59 to NCRS standards from, basically, nothing.
But this basket case had one big advantage over other Vettes that have been similarly blown apart. Its frame had been modified to accept C4 steering and suspension, and the chassis hardware from a '91 Corvette had already replaced the long-gone OE pieces. Jim has plenty of good words for the guy in Connecticut who did the conversion work. "He did an absolutely beautiful job grafting the C4 stuff to the original '59 frame," he says. "It was rolling. All the coilovers were in place, and all the geometry was welded in place."
As for the body, let's say it was in bad shape. "The body was half-assed on the car, and most of the parts were gone," Jim says of what he started with. "I just had a shell, essentially. We bought all the pieces and parts to finish the car and spent the next two years building it."
The '59's build had to wait, however, as Laurie had a '63 Sting Ray in the Barr Performance shop that Jim and his crew were upgrading. Once the Midyear was done, their attention turned to the '59. Attention is what it got, because it needed it. Not just to rescue the body, which Laurie said had stress cracks all through it, but inside as well.
"There was more than a little work done on the inside of that car," says Jim of the tailoring done to the '59's cabin. "When we initially mocked up the car, he couldn't even get in and out of it," he says of the six-foot-five owner. "We had to modify the car extensively to get Laurie into it. In doing that, it became extremely comfortable to drive and easy to get in and out of."
Those interior mods included a Flaming River tilt steering column that put the smaller-diameter Momo steering wheel closer to the dash, a reworked dash panel that was relocated farther forward for more room, and a pair of '62 Corvette seats. Why those, instead of the '59 buckets? "The '62's design allows the seat to go an inch farther back into the car," Jim says, adding that he modified the '59's floor to lower the seat frames below the stock locations. "We didn't change the pedal locations because they're actually quite good."
Also quite good: the upgrades to the rest of the chassis, as well as the powertrain. Collier Machine in Naples built the stroker small-block. "It's a 383 with Edelbrock Victor cylinder heads and a mild Edelbrock camshaft," says Jim. "It was an entire upper-end engine package from them. It doesn't heat up, it idles nicely, and you can get in and drive it around like anything else."
Jim also says that the engine, while not radical, is plenty to move this C1 around. "It was toned way down from the '63 that we built for him," he says. "It's designed so his wife could drive it." Street drivability for Laurie and his wife was also the reason why a Turbo 350 automatic went in instead of a six-speed manual gearbox.
In addition to the C4 steering and suspension that were already on the frame when the build started, Jim added more hardware, including springs for the coil-overs that helped this C1 ride just right. "AFCO was extremely cooperative in getting the right spring rate," he says. "We went through probably four or five different coil spring setups to get the spring rate right for the weight in the car." Jim also mounted 13-inch Wilwood disc brakes all around, with six-piston calipers in front and four-pot calipers in back.

Obama Hits Mitt Where It Hurts
The latest advertisement from the Obama campaign—which will air in Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Virginia—is, so far, the most important one of the president's re-election effort. Take a look:
This is a brutal attack on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital, and far more effective than anything launched by the former Massachusetts governor's Republican opponents in the GOP primary. The workers are given space to speak for themselves, and the result is a focus on the human toll of Romney's career. The ad insinuates that this is what a Romney presidency has in store for America. When coupled with continued emphasis on Romney's opposition to the auto bailouts, it presents Romney as a cold, cruel plutocrat.
Here's why this is crucial. If President Obama has built his" brand" around honesty and likeability, then Mitt Romney is trying to center his on competence; you may not like the former Massachusetts governor—you may not even trust him—but you know that he can fix the United States, and turn around the ship. It's why he focuses so heavily on his career in venture capitalism, and why—as Politico describes—this morning, the Romney campaign is devoted to "steadily building up Romney as a safe and competent alternative to President Barack Obama."
Indeed, the idea that Romney is competent is key to building a perception of moderation for the GOP nominee. In American politics—or at least, the coverage thereof—"moderation" is tied to affect. In truth, Howard Dean was a left-leaning centrist, but his loud opposition to George W. Bush made him an "extremist." On the other end, Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan wants to drastically reshape government with low taxes on the wealthy, and deep cuts to programs for the poor, sick, and infirm. But because of his affable, wonkish persona, he's perceived as a mainstream figure, despite how radical his agenda is. Romney is on the Paul Ryan side of the ledger, with a budget plan that would shred the social safety net. He needs voters to see him as a reasonable and competent steward of their affairs, and not as a stalking horse for the right-wing.
The Obama ad (and its corresponding website, Romneyeconomics.com) is a direct attack on Romney's competence. In much the same way as Karl Rove, the campaign is trying to turn Romney's strength—his private-sector experience—into a weakness. "Yes, Governor Romney was a skilled generator of wealth, but he did so at the cost of families like yours. Just imagine what he'll do in the White House." The Romney campaign has been trying to do the same to the president—and may well succeed—but for now, it's a half-step when compared to this effort.
The good news for Romney is that voters are willing to accept his claim to competence. In the most recent survey from Pew, Romney wins 48 percent of those who say that jobs are the most important issue in this election. Likewise, according to Gallup, 61 percent say that Romney would do a "good or very good job" of handling the economy if elected president.
The bad news, however, is that Obama has space for his message; according to NBC News and the Wall Street Journal, 71 percent say that they would be more likely to vote for a candidate who says "America is better off when everyone gets a fair shot, does their fair share, and plays by the same rules," and 76 percent say that they are more likely to vote for someone who promises to "fight for balance and fairness and encourage the investments needed to grow our economy and strengthen the middle class." This is the core of Obama's message, and one of the themes highlighted in his attack on Bain Capital.
The last time Romney was in a close election with a formidable opponent, Bain Capital proved to be the decisive factor in his defeat. I doubt will see a repeat of that, but even still, the Romney campaign can't be happy about Obama's compelling attack on the governor's most vital asset.

Would this ad really work?
I looked at the first Gingrich ad about Bain Capital and I thought, "what are the republicans thinking?". I felt the same joy that I felt when McCain selected Sarah Palin. How stupid can one be? This means Obama would win by a landslide if the one single thing they could have held against him --- that he had less managerial experience in than a safeway assistant manager has-- was neutralized by choosing a person whose job it is to be a "heartbeat away" who was even less experienced. Are they going to lose Indiana again?
Now, I am not so sure. This is not 2008. Now we have Citizen's United! Look at the army of the responders who will defend their man in every corner of the media. Gobbles said if you tell a lie a thousand times, people will believe it. We may actually see a man, who, as described by Governor Perry, lived like a vulture capitalist, win a landslide, backed by the very same white working class on whose blood he built his empire.

This article is a joke. Right?
Are you not aware that the steel mill was closed two years after Romney left Bain, and while he was involved with the Olympic Games? And are you not aware that 17 other steel mills closed that same year due to dumping by the Chinese? And do you not understand what Bain Capital does? They take failing companies (most on the verge of bankruptcy) and save them. Do you realize that they had a success rate of 78%? Do you understand how amazing those results are? And do you realize that one of the other investment firms that "helped the steel mill" is an Obama campaign donor that he met with just a few days ago?
I'm sorry, but if this is the best you have against Mitt Romney, then you have a totally losing campaign...but then I think most people are already figuring that out from the rise Romney has seen in the polls.

Dream on "Progessives", your hit pieces aren't working. The left-wing Lame Stream Media has invented another bogey man aka the Koch Bros. The Bain Capital record is one of saving companies and saving peoples' jobs. Bain looks to buy companies that aren't doing well to turn them around. Of course, being capitalists, they want to make money when they can. Only 22% of the companies Bain invested in during Romney's time went under but only because they were riskier (WSJ). And guess how many people are employed by Staples, a start-up that Bain supported; 90,000. There are many other examples.

If you want the truth here are all the facts any thinking person needs to know.
Bush average annual deficit averaged $300 Billion over 8 YEARS.
Obama average deficit $1.45 TRILLION over 3 years.
When Bush left office in 2008 US NATIONAL DEBT
was $9.3 TRILLION
US Nation Debt today is $15.75 TRILLION
On Mar13 2016 PROJECTED US NATIONAL DEBT are:
43 Presidents combined from 1789 – 2009 = $6.3 Trillion
Obama first 3.5 years $6.477 Trillion.
One debt downgrade and another one in the rumor mill. Hows that hope & change working out for the US?
These days I think it sucks myself. My grandkids grandkids will still be paying of this debt.

The only problem with this "compelling" political ad is that it is highly misleading.
Americans aren't as stupid as Axlerod and Ploueff believe them to be. Romney hadn't work at Bain inr two years when that steel company failed. And even if he had been there, steel companies were failing left and right during that period.
In the real world, not every company, no matter how hard working their employees might be, makes the cut.
This dishonest campaign ad is from the same geniuses who bought us the imaginary "War on Women." How'd that work out for them?
Wed, 2012-05-16 23:27
Jamelle just regurgitates. You hear it again and again that the Paul Ryan wants to reduce the taxes on the rich when the call is for reduced taxes for everyone. I am not sure how you feel but we all give too much to the government to waste.
For Jamelle and our President to criticize the mechanisms we have in place such as private investment firms such as Bain is disgusting. These companies are part of the financial community and we need them. The steel industry no longer is important in this country. They just cannot compete. We now do other things in this country. For this Presidents campaign to assemble these fools to put out his anti capitalistic message is truly disgusting.
Wed, 2012-05-16 23:41
Are you kidding? This is one of the best campaign fodders yet. If Team Obama keeps this up, Romney will win in a landslide. I won't repeat what has already been said in defense of Romney. However, for those of you who worship at the throne of King Hussein, KH attended a $40,000 a head fundraiser hosted by Hamilton "Tony" James, President of Blackstone Group, the largest private equity group in the U.S. on the same day the above ad was released. You cannot get any more hypocritical than that.

I am curious. So many extreme right wing people, reading and commenting in American Prospect! Would some of you please explain, why you read the American Prospect? Why have be left totally unmoved by the excellent scholarly articles in it? Why do you keep reading it? Does anyone pay you to write these letters? if, so, how much? If somehow, I became needy, if the price is right, who knows?

I went to work for a company that had just been bought out by Bain. This was a very successful company, had a good business model, had a ton of cash in the bank, a known brand name. Bain drained the accounts and then borrowed heavily against the business. They were looking for a sucker to buy them out and complete the flip, but it was at a downturn in the economy.
So instead, they laid off 95% of the workforce and brought in contractors from overseas. That is what passes for good business practice these days. Take that money directly out of the American economy and send it overseas. Bain makes a profit on the books, managers get their bonuses, and who cares about the quality of the product or the long-term effect of taking millions of dollars out of our economy?
What they have now is a company that is barely functional but all of the balance sheets say its profitable because of the cheap (and worthless) labor force. Project work is at a complete standstill and their corporate website has been down for weeks at a time because they don't have anyone who knows what they're doing. I can honestly say I've never really seen greedy and immoral people until that experience.
Romney is the guy who invented this takeover model, and the only people who think it's a good thing are those who have not been on the bought-out end.

For all those without jobs or a college degree, do you think the vulture capitalist is your best friend- by the way, Romney bought a house in La Jolla Ca for millions, tore it down and built another mansion- does anyone posting here have that kind of money? Romney is really out of touch with the 99%.

ESTO — The Esto Town Council approved of the first reading of Ordinance 13-01 during their April 2 meeting, which will increase the water rates in Esto beginning in May, following the second and final reading a public hearing.
The rates will increase to $19 inside town limits and $21 outside the town limits for the first 3,000 gallons and $4 per thousand gallons over 3,000 gallons as well as $1 per month per meter for fire protection, $125 for security deposits, $200 for connection fees and $500 for tap-in fees.
"I'm actually disappointed no one showed up for the public hearing," said Town Clerk Jody Sellers. "You'd think people would want to be more involved in what's going on with their town."
Chairman Danny Powell said that landowner Brady Well made an offer to sell his property to the town, which has been used by visitors as extra parking during the Two-Toe Tom Festival.
"He's wanting $36,000 for two acres because it's considered in town," said Powell. "It's nice of him to let us use his property for the festival but it is well over-priced."
The council agreed to table the offer until the next meeting.
Sellers informed the council that they have negotiated with the town's auditor to reduce his invoice from $10,000 to $9,000, which would mean that the town would only had $3,000 left owed and the town approved to pay in increments of $500 a month until it was paid.
During the March 5 meeting she informed the council that she had received an invoice from their auditor for $10,000 for his services.
"He quoted me an estimate of between $6,000 and $7,000," said Sellers. "Now he's changed his mind and is requesting $10,000."
The council agreed to draft a letter stating insufficient services and requesting the return of owed files and to make necessary contacts to hire a new auditor, this time under the prerequisite of having a contract as suggested by Goodman.
"We were able to find the engagement letter that was signed stating that his expenses would not exceed $9,000," said Sellers. "Our files have been returned, we've got a quote from a new company that is closer that says they will not exceed $6,750 and we should be getting another quote soon so we won't have to deal with this auditor any more."
The council was informed that a circuit rider for Florida Rural Water Association gave Sellers a list of benefits the town is entitled to because the town is a member of the Florida Rural Water Association.
"It's amazing the things we have available to us free of charge," said council member Darlene Madden. "Most people don't know what service are provided to us because this is a small town."
Powell also informed them that the Florida Rural Water Association might help paint the water tower.
During the previous meeting Sellers had informed them that the town had received a letter from the Department of Environmental Protection stating that all the requirements to get the water system up to code was almost complete, but the last requirement was also the most expensive.
"We need to paint the water tower and it needs to be done by April 2014," said Sellers.
Sellers told them a representative would be present at the June meeting to discuss what the Florida Rural Water Association could do to help.
Powell informed the council that the Dollar General had applied to Bonifay for an alcoholic beverage license and a tobacco permit because the corporate branch failed to realize that even though the store had a Bonifay address it was in the town of Esto.
"After we discussed things and I went over the town's ordinance concerning an alcoholic beverage license and that it just wasn't possible they were very understanding," said Powell. "Now, they did get their tobacco permit and they are selling tobacco products now."
Madden gave an update on the 2nd Annual Two-Toe Tom Festival, which will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 13, at John W. Clark Park in Esto.
"We're still seeing about getting Jerome Jackson to perform for us," said Madden. "He's asking for $600 and we're trying to talk him down on the price, especially since he's only going to give us 45 minutes and last year he came for $450 and that was for an hour and a half."
She said she got a lot of interest from Swamp People and that it was possible to arrange to have them at next year's event.
"It's getting bigger and bigger," said Madden. "Last year we got between 1,500 and 1,600 and we're estimating around 1,800 to 2,000. We've got to be able to accommodate to the increase."
Powell said he agreed, however the Town needed to also focus on maintaining what they have and keep in mind that whatever they expand must also be maintained.
"Even if we break even on this event we did what we were meant to do," said Council member James Daniels. "That's bringing hundreds of people to come and see Esto."
Sellers also added that this year there was going to be a vender with a large assortment of alligator items to purchase as well as a vender to sell food made from alligators.
The next Esto Town Council meeting is set for 7 p.m. on May 7 at the Esto Town Hall.

If you can make healthy eating and activity a 'matter of fact' way of life instead of a big production or discussion, you and your family will be way ahead of the curve," says Pauline Williams, Clinical Nutrition manager at Primary Children's Medical Center. "Though you may need some planning and discussion to get started, it's really the most effective way to encourage your entire family to maintain a healthy weight."
In response to the health crisis facing Utah—studies estimate that about one in four Utah children are overweight with nearly 10 percent of all Utah kids classified as obese—Williams and a host of experts at Intermountain Healthcare have joined forces in a multi-year statewide public service campaign to get Utah's children to be more physically active and eat healthier. Named LiVe, the campaign's main focus is with children ages 11-15, but is also designed to help parents gain tools and knowledge to help their children.
"Your attitudes and actions can make all the difference in your kids' future health," says Williams. "The simplest things can make the biggest difference in the long run." Here are some of her suggestions for encouraging positive attitudes about food and weight for a lifetime of good habits:
The LiVe website, IntermountainLiVe.org contains free, helpful materials for parents and kids.

2012-2013 Speaker Series
Be part of the solution
In 2010, the Sharing Responsibility, Improving Community Health Speaker Series aimed at strengthening the capacity and effectiveness of community organizations by providing information on the latest practice and evidence based approaches to address social determinants in order to reduce health disparities in the St. Louis region.
The conversation will continue in 2012-2013 with six new sessions that will provide attendees with information about strategies to address health inequities and disparities, as well as opportunities for partnership development. An underlying theme will be how social determinants, such as poverty, race, and living conditions impact each other and ultimately impact health.
This series is an invigorating learning opportunity to hear prevalent issues within the community and nationwide directly from public health professionals with experience. It also represents a great opportunity to meet working public health professionals from the St. Louis area.
Health Disparities in St. Louis
As the most densely inhabited and industrial city in the metropolitan area, the city of St. Louis supports over 350,000 diverse residents. It ranks as the 7th most cost-competitive location to do business among 20 U.S. cities with populations exceeding two million.
The city's downtown area is booming with renovation of buildings, new outdoor attractions, and the opening of a gourmet grocery store. St. Louis recently received over $110 million in funding for health and medical research to be conducted at the city's leading academic and research institutions.
However, within this thriving metropolitan area, many significant health problems and disparities exist. St. Louis leads the nation in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases. It tops the list for infant mortality and its prevalence is aligned or greater than some developing countries. Heart disease in African Americans is twice that of Americans overall.
Why do these disparities exist?
Whose responsibility is it to reduce and eliminate these disparities?
What are we currently doing to address these disparities?
This series is designed to address these and other questions. The purpose of the conference is to engage business, community, government and academic partners in the St. Louis region to share evidence and practiced-based strategies that can improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities. After all, everyone benefits when St. Louis city residents are healthy.
The Sharing Responsibility, Improving Community Health Speaker Series is sponsored by the Saint Louis University College for Public Health & Social Justice and School of Medicine with support from the Saint Louis University Presidential Research Fund (PRF). Our Advisory Board consists of members representing business, policy, community and academia.
Dedicated to the memory of Terry Leet, PhD

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida House on Tuesday voted — once again — to overhaul the state's elections law, this time by partly undoing changes from 2011 that were blamed for confusion and long lines at the polls in the last election.
On the first day of the annual legislative session, House members approved 118-1 a bill (HB 7013) that increases the permitted days of early voting from eight to 14.
It allows early-voting polling places at more kinds of sites, like fairgrounds, civic centers and convention centers. And it sets a 75-word limit on proposed initial ballot summaries to constitutional amendments.
The bill also restores the possibility of early voting on the Sunday before Election Day, when blacks often vote after church in a tradition known as "souls to the polls."
The perception of the state's voting process is a sore spot for many Floridians. Desiline Victor became a symbol of early voting obstacles when the 102-year-old was forced to wait three hours on line to vote in Miami-Dade County in 2012. President Barack Obama later invited her to his State of the Union address.
And no matter their political leaning, Florida residents still smart over their state's reputation from 2000, made famous by hanging chads, butterfly ballots and an aborted presidential-election recount.
Two years ago, Rep. Dennis Baxley, an Ocala Republican, led a drive to change voting laws. His bill, which was passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Rick Scott, reduced early voting time, cracked down on voter-registration drives and made voters use provisional ballots if they updated their name or address at the polling place.
"No election is ever going to be perfect," Baxley said on Tuesday. "They're always going to be close in Florida. But I believe this bill goes a very long way to correcting and preventing problems that can occur in the election process."
House Speaker Will Weatherford, a Wesley Chapel Republican, told reporters that "the Legislature has some responsibility for some of the challenges we had in 2012."
"That's why we passed (this bill) on the first day," he added. "We're not going to let any grass grow under our feet."
House Democrats said they wanted more in the measure, citing online voter registration, automatic voter registration upon renewal of driver's licenses and a path to restoring felons' right to vote.
But the bill as passed is "a good first step," said Janet Cruz of Tampa, the top Democrat on the House Ethics and Elections Subcommittee.
Rep. Dwayne Taylor, a Daytona Beach Democrat, did complain that the bill contains no money to allow local supervisors of elections to get better equipment and hire more staff for longer early voting at more places.
"We've got to allocate those dollars because they're going to need them," he said.
A companion bill (SB 600) is now in the Senate and covers many of the same provisions as the House bill.
The lone vote against was cast by Rep. John Tobia , R-Melbourne Beach, who left the floor of the House right after the vote.
"We were all hoping for a unanimous vote," Weatherford said. "But people have their own positions on issues."
An earlier version of this story is posted below:
TALLAHASSEE — The Florida House has voted to once again overhaul the state's elections law by expanding the time allowed for early voting and the number of early voting locations.
House members on Tuesday — the first day of the annual legislative session — approved 118-1 a bill (HB 7013) that increases the possible days of early voting from eight to 14. It allows early-voting polling places at more kinds of sites. And it sets a 75-word limit on proposed initial ballot summaries to constitutional amendments.
The bill reverses many of the changes to the state's elections law made in 2011 that many blame for confusion and long lines at the polls last year. A companion (SB 600) to the House bill is in the Senate.

Without a doubt I would play ball, archery seasons will come and go, but high school happens once. Wished I had played, I chose hunting instead. One of many regrets.
I think everyone is giving you the right advice, get out there and play ball! I would take winning a game and hangin out with the cheer squad and "fans" over a stinky hunting partner any day.
I guess I'm the odd man out... I never played organized sports cause it interfered with hunting.. Looking back, I absolutely do not regret all of the time that I spent in the woods with my Dad, Grandpa and various friends. Those are all memories that I'll have for a lifetime, same as the memories you'll make playing ball.
My Grandpa died while I was a sophomore in college, if I hadn't spent so many weekends in middle school and high school hunting with him, I think I'd regret it today, as a majority of my memories with him were made during those times.
Oh, and Jay, my girlfriend in high school was on the cheer squad ;)
My hunting partners were also stinky though...
Play for sure, you can still sneak out during rifle season, leave after the game Friday night and be back for school Monday. I remember bye weeks during football season in Oct, damn near half the team including the coaches headed up to hunt for the off weekend.
