ALBANY -- State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says a deal today at the Capitol limiting his ability to conduct certain pre-audits of state contracts "undermines'' a needed check on state spending.
The relaxed oversight, sought by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, will apply to potentially billions of dollars worth of state and local government contracts in New York and affects centralized procurement deals overseen by the state Office of General Services, the comptroller said.
"It is a mistake to erode this independent oversight,'' DiNapoli said of the deal by lawmakers and Cuomo. "Eliminating review of contracts potentially worth over billions of dollars undermines the accountability and transparency New York taxpayers deserve. Checks and balances are essential to fiscal responsibility.''

It was a good feeling, but I knew that there was a lot of work ahead of me and there still is, Martinez said. It really was a dream come true.
Nearly three years later, Martinez has settled into the team and into his position as a key part of a strong group of defensemen on the roster.

Kyle Smith, Contributor
I write about economics, politics, media, business and film.
As the Steve Jobs era ends, it turns out that the famous Apple "1984" ad was more prescient than anyone suspected at the time. Except Steve Jobs wasn't the woman throwing the hammer. He was Big Brother — a high-tech giant revered by slackjawed multitudes from his domineering position on every video screen. And like Big Brother he was a spooky, weird control freak who cultivated not so much fans as thought-slaves.
Big Brothers love to unify us around their selves and their image. They love to make it look as though they, alone, are responsible for all good things. (Daimler makes some nifty products too — quick, picture its CEO. But you don't have an image of Jurgen Klummsdorf or Hans Sitzkrieg in your mind, do you? You don't even know the guy's name.) No, Steve Jobs didn't invent the iPod. And what is the iPhone except an iPod Touch that's been wired up? What's an iPad but a really big iPhone?
As with all tyrants, Jobs made the absurd seem routine. A few months ago I walked by my local Apple store — a gleaming transparent palace that looks like a drop of sweat from the gods frozen into a perfect ice cube as it fell to earth — and encountered a long line of what (in an only slightly different context) George Harrison termed the "Apple Scruffs." The ragged fanboys camped outside the headquarters of the Beatles' Apple Corps record label were now the wired-up, tech-drunk, expensively bespectacled masses of the strenuously clued-in. The iPad 2, was about to be released.
But not that day.
The new gizmo wasn't to be sold until the following day, yet the conformist crew was lining up nearly 24 hours in advance, with their folding chairs and their coolers, in order to have the privilege of throwing away a day's wages plus the cost of a device on something (if they were this devoted) they already possessed, albeit in a version a micron or two thicker and a supermodel's eyelash heavier. Also, the iPad 2 has cameras for video chatting – much like the cameras on the iPhones every Apple Scruff already possessed (and every minimally-improved version of which they had likewise queued for).
Across the street, where Best Buy would be selling exactly the same item at exactly the same price at exactly the same time, there was no cult, no fever, hence no line (and no wasted productivity). That's right: Fanatics would rather waste 24 hours advertising their zeal at an Apple store than simply walk into a Best Buy. Five hundred years ago, the Apple Scruffs would have been mortifying their flesh as a Jobs-like cleric urged them on.
In the 1984 commercial, Big Brother speaks of "a garden of pure ideology, where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests of any contradictory true thoughts." Can there be a better description of your local Apple store, with its fresh-faced armies of uniformed nerdbots kindly doling out status-defining electronic accessories to slavering coolhunters, than "a garden of pure ideology"? At the stores, the Cult of Jobs commands "Full loyalty, no negativity," said the headline of a recent Wall Street Journal story that also revealed that (as instructed in a hefty manual approximating the bulk of "The Marx-Engels Reader") that the maximum leader requires "intensive control of how employees interact with customers, scripted training for on-site tech support and consideration of every store detail down to the pre-loaded photos and music on demo devices."
Apple store workers are paid about the same as any retail sales clerks — nine to 15 bucks an hour — so why is Apple able to attract such a savvy work crew, the kind who couldn't even imagine themselves scanning cappuccino makers at Bed, Bath and Beyond? Because the kids are under the impression that making a good showing at an Apple store could lead to a job with corporate in Cupertino. This seems about as likely as the guy who sells pennants outside Yankee Stadium being tapped on the shoulder by Joe Girardi: "Grab a bat, you're pinch-hitting for Jeter."
Your title is a great example of the Fallacy of False Choice.
Your "essay", if you want to call it that, is nothing more than a bunch of Ad Hominem attacks.
We get it. You don't like Steve Jobs.
But as Robert Scoble says, "Who are you ?"
are the two mutually exclusive? Could Steve Jobs be both a creative genius and a tyrant? I say that he is both.
Wonderfully rich phrasing!! Love the article, not to mention the thought. I have only bought mp3s, listen to them on my Android phone. I hate the clunkiness, but I truly chafe at the snowJobs.
Apparently, it bothers you that consumers are enthused enough about a user experience, unparalleled by any other company's products, to wait in lines for them, at stores which go out of their way to cater to customer needs. Demeaning customers with the term "Apple Scruffs" makes your agenda clear.
I stopped running flash on my Android, because of the ridiculous drain on the battery that it causes. The trade-off: a more prolonged and overall better user experience. Flash sites crash on the Android more often than not, and suck battery life to no end.
Having a removable battery is absolutely necessary with Android phones, since they have about 30% of battery/performance of an iPhone. To match an iPhone's battery life, I need to carry around two charged spares – no thanks. Battery packs/cases exist for the iPhone for those occasional 12 hour international flight. Other than that, this is a non-issue.
Planned obsolescence vs technological advancement.
Each year, new features and design refinements make for compelling reasons to upgrade. Besides, the cost to replace a worn iPhone battery is comparable to that of the cost of the battery itself. Again, a non-issue.
Apple, with their business model, has single handedly revived the music industry, helped the film and TV industry, and is greatly assisting the journal/magazine/subscription industry as well. A 30% cut for a 50%+ increase in business is a no brainer.
If you're wondering why "The Cult of Jobs" retail business is the most successful around, perhaps you ought to ponder the unwarranted suffering people have endured in dealing with PCs, Windows, and third rate products. Blaming Apple for striving to offer first rate products and user experiences would be analogous to blaming a five-star restaurant for serving uniquely tasteful food.
Consumers vote with their wallets – blame them.
I made a Forbes account just to tell you what an idiot you are. Way to be an extremist, yeah jobs is a little crazy but apples products deliver the best user experience (in my opinion), and people wait in line a day ahead of time for ALL kinds of electronics, like xboxes. Idk I just got very annoyed by your coy writing style and smug arrogance while bashing a man who has created (and re- resurrected) a company that has become the most valuable brand name in the world and at the same time the most successful retail store per square foot. Good day sir.
A contrarian article that brings in eyeballs, nothing more.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am sorry that you have not realized the great things that Steve Jobs has done for our world. No single person has made as much of an impact on technology since Thomas Edison. Even though Steve Jobs was not the inventor of the iPod, he still helped with the development and marketed the product to the entire world. He has never thought of his fans as slaves and even replies to some of them personally when they have a question about the functionality of new Apple products.
In what way is Steve Jobs a tyrant? He does not take credit for Apple products in any way. For the past couple of years, he has not even been able to host Apple's WWDC conference due to health products. People appreciate Steve Jobs for the great things he has brought to this world, not because he tells them to. Fans wait outside of Apple Stores to buy new products on their release date because they want to. There is no reason to be angry at Jobs for attracting a lot of customers.
Just because you do not personally like a certain company, does not mean that you need to write an article saying that the CEO and his entire company are evil. There is nothing evil about not supporting a piece of software on a device that you sell. If the customer needs this software, they have the option not to buy the product. You also mentioned that Apple was "stealing" by charging 30% for magazine subscriptions. It is not stealing for a company to provide a price for their services. Steve Jobs created one of the best corporations in the world and it has given us more than any other company in history.
Nick Svanascini
Can't agree with the allegations of this article. The reason people are loyal is not because Steve is a tyrant and controls everything. It is because Apple borugh products to market that didn't suck as bad as the current offerings that limited function, joy, and ultimately desireablitlity. Do you not remember the crappy mp3 players? The music you couldn't download affordably? The mobile phones that offered only lame ass software from the carrier?
Are you serious about attacking Steve Jobs for the historical valididity of it? You're barking up a long discredited line of criticism. Apple delivers products that are better than the competition.
Sad rant Kyle but a classic example of those that do DO and those that cannot teach or in this case write.
What Jobs did was create a technology evolution that has created more Jobs ( pun ) than all the $ billions of stimulus money the US has and will throw away
creatingbliss succinctly said everything I would have said except he didn't call you out as a click-whore.
I'm doing that.

AllWebMenus javascript menu builder has unique features
for advanced integration with FrontPage*.
You can take advantage of not one, but two different methods of integration
between your FrontPage and AllWebMenus.
Method 1: The AllWebMenus "Import FrontPage Navigation"
FrontPage users usually create Navigation
Structures inside their Webs, so that navigation buttons
appear throughout their published web sites. However,
this kind of navigation is not as powerful as a menu-based
You can now easily replace your navigation
buttons with neat menus using the "Tools->
Import FrontPage Navigation" feature of
This is how it works:
Go to "Navigation View" in FrontPage (View -> Navigation):
This is how the Navigation Structure
of your FrontPage Web may look like:
The Import FrontPage Navigation
Structure tool lets you import this navigation
structure into AllWebMenus and create a menu structure
out of it, like the one we are using in our web site!
In order to do so, you only need to select
the folder where your FrontPage Web is located...
...and your FP Navigation Structure is imported into AllWebMenus:
Now, you have to compile the menu and link it to your web pages.
Click here for detailed instructions on this process.
If you
want your menus to show in all your frontpage pages without linking to each one separately, you may use the "Support Shared Borders in FrontPage" option of AllWebMenus:
(press F1 when you are there and you will find detailed documentaion on this feature in the Help file)
Method 2: The AllWebMenus FrontPage Add-In
AllWebMenus provides an easy solution for truly cross-browser
navigation menus for your FrontPage Webs.
For your convenience, the special FrontPage Add-In is included inside the AllWebMenus distribution; no separate download is required.
This method requires that you installed the FrontPage Add-In during the AllWebMenus installation process. If you did not install the Add-In, please re-install AllWebMenus and make sure that you check the related FrontPage checkbox when asked to install additional components.
Just read below to see how easy it is to create stylish
menus using the AllWebMenus FP Add-In.
Open your Web:
Select Navigation View…
…and setup your Navigation Structure:
(example of a Navigation Structure)
The red notes show how AllWebMenus interprets the Navigation
Structure in order to create your Web's navigation
When you installed the AllWebMenus FrontPage Add-In, a new menu item was added on the FP menubar:
Click "AllWebMenus" and then click
"Setup Navigation Menu":
This action opens AllWebMenus.
AllWebMenus immediately imports the Navigation
Structure from FrontPage!
(Note that the Menu Structure cannot be edited from inside AllWebMenus. The Menu Structure is always updated by the FP Navigation Structure every time you use the FP Add-in, therefore the correct place to edit your menu structure is the FP Navigation Structure itself)
You may select from a variety of ready-made
themes for your navigation menu through the
AllWebMenus Theme Gallery!
Now you only need to "Compile your Menu",
so that all the necessary menu files are created inside
your Web Folder.
Click "Compile Menu"…
…and the menu is immediately compiled inside your Web Folder.
You can now switch to FrontPage. In FrontPage you only
have to specify which pages you want the menus to appear
This is quite simple, as it is achieved through the FrontPage Shared Borders functionality:
Check the "Bottom" Shared Border for all your pages that you wish to show the menu.
Et voila! Your menu appears in all pages that
use a Bottom Shared Border!
Note: In contrast to Integration Method 1, there is no "Support Shared Borders in FrontPage" option in the Project Properties, as this option is automatically enforced through the Add-In.
*Support for FrontPage integration under Vista environment is limited due to Microsoft's shift from FrontPage to Expression Web.
Download now the AllWebMenus trial version to find out more about
its capabilities.

time and energy. AllWebMenus is the ultimate tool for stylish cross-browser

The U.S. may not leave any troops behind in Afghanistan
- By Dashiell Bennett
- The Wire
- January 9, 2013
- Leave a comment
After previously suggesting that some American forces could remain in Afghanistan for decades to come, the Pentagon says it's considering the possibility that no U.S. forces could be stationed there after 2014. NATO and American forces are planning to withdraw all combat troops from the country by the end of next year, but its been widely assumed that some would remain to assist the still-wobbly Afghan army with training and security, as well as anti-terrorist missions.
However, during a press conference on Tuesday, Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes became the first Obama administration official to raise the possibility of a complete withdraw. Rhodes says the Pentagon is considering a range of options, including keeping any where between 6,000 and 15,000 U.S. soldiers on the ground at all times. There are currently about 66,000 troops in the country now, down from a peak for more 100,000 at the height of the 11-year-old war.

The Daily Item
LEWISBURG — The Public Library for Union County will host a screening of the documentary, "Nrityagram: For the Love of Dance," at Wednesday, Feb. 27.
The screening, which is free and open to the public, is sponsored by the Weis Center for the Performing Arts at Bucknell University. The library is located at 255 Reitz Blvd. in Lewisburg.
The documentary was produced by videographer Nan Melville, who first met the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble when they were far from their home base near Bangalore in India. She was assigned by The New York Times to photograph their debut performance in New York in 1996.
Melville was so enchanted by the dancers, and the concept of Nrityagram — a village devoted to dance — that she jumped at Protima Bedi's invitation to visit the school in India. Her mission was to capture for posterity the story of the dance village and the dancers, and how they promote and develop the Odissi dance form.
The screening is held in conjunction with a performance by the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble at the Weis Center at 8 p.m. Friday, March 1.
Regarded worldwide as one of the foremost dance companies of India, the Nrityagram Dance Ensemble incorporates mythology, Sanskrit, yoga, meditation and the martial arts. With exceptional synchronicity, compelling physicality and emotional honesty, the ensemble has earned national and international acclaim for its ability to redefine both dance and theatre, to create and communicate with powerful imagery and captivating dance.
Tickets for the performance are $20 for adults, $16 for seniors ages 62 and older, and $10 for children under 18. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.bucknell.edu/BoxOffice, in person at any Box Office location, or by calling the Campus Box Office at 577-1000.
For more information about this event, contact Lisa Leighton, marketing and outreach director at 577-3727 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Office of Minority Health
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
May 7, 2007
Contact: Office of Minority Health
Federal Health Leaders Unveil New Programs to Recruit More Minorities into Clinical TrialsTwo Projects among First to Address Cultural/Linguistic Barriers
Houston, Texas; May 7, 2007 - With mounting evidence that minorities and the poor are the least likely to have access to clinical trials, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Office of Minority Health today announced the inauguration of two complementary initiatives designed to accelerate the participation of underserved populations in these research studies.
"The Office of Minority Health is pleased to play a role in this important effort, which will provide new methods and culturally appropriate materials necessary to improve minority participation in clinical trials," said Garth Graham, M.D., deputy assistant secretary for minority health. "Without the adequate representation of racial and ethnic minorities, women and the elderly in these studies, researchers cannot learn about the potential differences among these groups, which are so essential for medical discovery."
In conjunction with leaders from the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities and the Office on Women's Health, Dr. Graham announced federal participation in two complementary projects that are among the first to apply National Standards on Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services to the clinical trials process. The two projects are CLAS-ACT (Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Standards And Clinical Trials) and BackPack (a set of tools for researchers).
The projects will be part of a four-year initiative, Eliminating Disparities in Clinical Trials (EDICT), which is conducted jointly by the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine and the Intercultural Cancer Council, a national organization based in Houston that seeks to eliminate the unequal burden of cancer among racial and ethnic minorities and medically underserved populations.
Intended to provide new recommendations and materials for health professionals by April 2008, the projects will be conducted simultaneously by two separate research teams. Through CLAS-ACT, one research team will develop new guidance so that scientists and health professionals will be able to utilize CLAS standards when designing and recruiting minority patients into new clinical trials. This will be complemented by the BackPack project, which will identify and make available vetted resources, examples, models and policies that will further help those who conduct clinical trials to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in recruitment and retention.
"Culture defines how health care information is received and how patients make choices about their treatment," said Wanda Jones, DrPH, director of the Office on Women's Health. "By understanding, valuing and incorporating culturally and linguistically appropriate standards when designing and recruiting minority patients into new clinical trials, healthcare practitioners and organizations can support a health care system that is truly inclusive and serves the needs of the most vulnerable."
In addition to applying the federal CLAS standards to clinical trials design and recruitment, the new EDICT projects reflect a growing consensus that disparities in clinical trials remain a serious problem for the medically underserved. According to statistics compiled by the Intercultural Cancer Council:
- 88.8 percent of those enrolled in clinical trials between January 2003 and June 2005 were whites, compared to 8 percent who were African Americans, 2.8 percent who were Asians/Pacific Islanders, 0.5 percent who were Native Americans/Alaska Natives and 0.1 percent who were other races. Examining the same data by ethnicity, only 5.6 percent of all patients were Hispanics compared to 94.4 percent who were non-Hispanics;
- Nearly two-thirds of cancer patients are aged 65 years and older. This age group accounts for less than one-third of clinical trial enrollees;
- Regardless of race or ethnicity, low socioeconomic status has a negative impact on clinical research participation.
"From existing data, we know that racial and ethnic minorities, the elderly, those who live in rural areas and the poor represent the smallest percentage of clinical trial participants," said John Ruffin, PhD., director of the National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities. "Eliminating health disparities in clinical trial design and accrual is therefore a critical goal, which is why these new projects are so significant."
"Without adequate representation of ethnic and racial minorities and other underserved populations in clinical trials, patients suffer and so do researchers, who are hindered in their assessment and generalization of clinical trial results," said Armin Weinberg, PhD, director of the Chronic Disease Prevention and Control Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine and co-founder of the Intercultural Cancer Council. "The goal of these projects is to equip researchers, advocates and providers with the tools to affect meaningful change."
The chronic disease program at Baylor develops and applies bio-behavioral research models among culturally diverse, at-risk populations. The Intercultural Cancer Council operates under the auspices of Baylor College of Medicine and is an advocacy organization whose mission is to advance policies, programs, partnerships and research to eliminate the unequal burden of cancer among racial and ethnic minorities and medically underserved populations. EDICT was launched in 2005 with a $5.5 million grant from Genentech, Inc.

text: Mitt Romney Changed Positions on Abortion Then and Now: Mitt Romney's Positions on Reproductive Rights by Anne Scudder 10/03/12 4 Reactions 9 Shares Print 0 2 3 4 0 Happy presidential debate day! You can join us for our LIVE debate preshow and postshow on PopSugar as President Obama comes face-to-face with his challenger, Mitt Romney. When running for the Senate or governor in liberal Massachusetts, Romney took nuanced positions on topics like abortion and emergency contraception. But over time, some of his positions on reproductive rights have changed in significant ways. In the '90s, he said, "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country," while today he wants to see the end of Roe v. Wade and abortion limited. Still, Romney has been somewhat consistent on a few issues and has offered some explanations on others, saying he simply changed his mind on abortion and that it's OK to. Let's evaluate Mitt Romney's reputation as a flip-flopper to see where he stood and now stands on issues crucial to women voters. Source: Getty Abortion: Then What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When he was running for the Senate against Ted Kennedy in 1994, Mitt Romney called on his personal experience to prove his pro-choice credentials. During a debate, Romney said: "I had a dear, close family relative that was very close to me who passed away from an illegal abortion. It is since that time that my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter. And you will not see me wavering on that." Source: Getty 1 / 10 Abortion: Now What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Despite his previous statements that he didn't "believe that it's appropriate to legislate one's personal view for the entire country," Romney changed his mind and would now work to limit abortion. He now states: "I believe people understand that I'm firmly pro-life. I will support justices who believe in following the Constitution and not legislating from the bench. And I believe in the sanctity of life from the very beginning until the very end." He thinks "abortion should be limited to only instances of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother," allowing for some exceptions in extreme cases, something other Republicans like Rick Santorum do not. Source: Getty 2 / 10 Overturning Roe v. Wade: Then What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In addition to supporting abortion rights in the past, Mitt Romney was content with abortion rights being defined nationally by the Supreme Court. In 1994, Romney said, "I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I believe that Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, that we should sustain and support it, and I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice." Source: Getty 3 / 10 Overturning Roe v. Wade: Now What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mitt Romney now considers Roe v. Wade bad law and thinks abortion laws should be made state by state, explaining: "I would like to see each state be able to make its own decision regarding abortion rather than have a one-size-fits-all blanket pronouncement by the Supreme Court." Source: Getty 4 / 10 Birth Control: Then What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Romney has always supported contraception, and as governor he did not challenge a law that would require church-affiliated employers to cover birth control. Source: Getty 6 / 10 Birth Control: Now What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Romney has stayed pretty consistent on supporting contraception, and unlike Rick Santorum he doesn't think states should have the right to ban it. He says, "I can't imagine a state banning contraception. I can't imagine the circumstances where a state would want to do so." In Romney's words, "Contraception, it's working just fine. Just leave it alone." But while Massachusetts required all insurance plans to cover contraception while he was governor, he called Obama's similar plan an "assault on religion." Source: Getty 6 / 10 Emergency Contraception: Then What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On a 2002 Planned Parenthood questionnaire, Romney wrote that he supports efforts to increase access to emergency contraception. And in 2005, after an initial veto, then Governor Mitt Romney signed a Massachusetts bill that required all hospitals, including religious hospitals, to provide emergency contraception to rape victims. Source: Getty 7 / 10 Emergency Contraception: Now What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Late last year, Mitt Romney said he would support a personhood amendment to his state's constitution that would define life as beginning at conception, which would lead to the outlawing of abortion, as well as some contraception, including the morning-after pill and perhaps even the traditional pill, since both can prevent a fertilized egg from being implanted. So while he says he supports contraception, that position would be inconsistent with a personhood amendment. The confusing position led Rachel Maddow to explain how birth control works to the GOP candidate last Fall. Source: Getty 8 / 10 Planned Parenthood: Then What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mitt and Ann Romney attended a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in the '90s and even cut a check to the organization. In 2002, he filled out the group's questionnaire and marked that he supports Roe v. Wade and funding abortion services to low-income women through Medicaid. Source: Getty 9 / 10 Panned Parenthood: Now What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "As president, I will end federal funding for abortion advocates like Planned Parenthood," Mitt Romney claims. Romney says, "Look, the idea that we're subsidizing an institution which is providing abortion, in my view, is wrong. Planned Parenthood ought to stand on their own feet, and should not get government subsidy."

Great shoes, love them I'm a big fan of the shoes they look great and are decently comfortable. The sole is a little thin though and since I'm a bigger guy I need more support for my feet, but I put some inserts in and now they're my favorite shoes. Be aware they run about a size big. July 11, 2014
highly recommended... ...for their comfort, quality and styling. Desert boots as they should be. July 11, 2014
Super cute! My bf loves this..he is soo picky..likes wearing jordans all the time ..this is for the times I dont want to see him in sneakers..So sexy even with casuals! July 8, 2014
I love this product, second to none I been buying this product for long long time ( desert boot classic ) and some other style my fault I order size 91/2 my size is 81/2 went to Cracks Store and exchanged for my right size, been inside the store I bought 2 more pair of shoes (boat style) love it July 2, 2014
desert boot suede One of my favorite shoes. Does require a little breaking in. I have high arches and wide feet. I usually order them a half size large to allow for it to stretch to my width and allow for my high arches June 21, 2014
Most comfortable shoe ever I am on my 3rd pair of the men's desert boots and I still have my previous 2 pair that I wear for kicking around. Comfortable in every way. June 17, 2014
Classic look and very comfortable to wear all day Simple review I love these shoes I'm on my fifth pair. June 12, 2014
Comfortable, stylish, cool I love these Clark's. I got the Navy, but didn't like the color, so I swapped them out for the sage with the yellow soles. You don't buy these shoes for long walking expeditions. And the soles do have a tendency to slip on wet cement, so watch out! But, for everyday padding around the house, getting in and out of the car, dressing up a little, they're great. May 24, 2014
Elegant shoe, even classy with some clothes The dark brown desert boot looks good with khaki, gray, and even charcoal slacks. It is one of the few shoes I've worn that is comfortable and reasonably priced. May 16, 2014
Sizing is way off. I ordered a pair of 10's. They were labeled 10, but they had to be at least an 11 - maybe larger. I returned them and don't feel I can buy Clarks on line now. I'll have to go to a store to figure out their odd sizing. May 13, 2014

The Center on the Digital Economy at The Heartland Institute works to advance this simple notion: The Internet is not "broken," and government attempts to "fix it" will retard the enormous potential for economic growth fueled by advances in telecommunications and technology.
Heartland believes that rules for the Internet and electronic commerce should result from private collective action, not government regulation. We believe protection of private property rights is an essential condition for effective planning and the long-term growth of the digital economy.
And we believe that effective free-market advocacy and education are required to overcome the statist special-interest groups who have for too long had the ear of policy-makers who are eager to regulate. If the public is to benefit from the many opportunities and efficiencies made possible by the digital revolution, then the market, not bureaucrats, must lead the way.

A group of Newtown residents came together Tuesday to push for state and federal legislation they say will prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
The newly formed group, Newtown Action Alliance (at first Newtown Never Again, which was discarded for having negative connotations), met for the first time Tuesday night at C. H. Booth Library, where they discussed proposals for gun control legislation, the hearings being held by the Bipartisan Task Force on Gun Violence Prevention and Children's Safety, last Saturday's and the upcoming Feb. 14 march in Hartford.
The 50-plus attendees included current and former Newtown residents, Sandy Hook parents, teachers, a former police officer, a retired army officer and a few gun control advocates from around the local area, many with connections to Newtown and Sandy Hook. But most of the people in attendance categorized themselves as newcomers to activism with a sincere desire — and in some cases a self-described compulsion — to get involved and affect meaningful change.
"What I've been hearing from people is a desire to take action but they're not really sure how to start, where to go, what to do," the group's founder, Dave Ackert, explained. "After coming back on Sunday, after the march [in D.C.], and hearing from people who were there how profound a day it was," he was moved to create an "action-based organization."
This intent behind Newtown Action Alliance (NAA) separates it from other local groups, like Sandy Hook Promise, in that the new organization plans to take a firm position on legislation to curb mass gun violence and be fervent activists in the cause.
"We want to ensure what happened in Newtown never happens again by coordinating actions that can be taken to make a difference," Ackert said.
Resident Jennifer Killin, who has two first graders at Head O' Meadow, said she has had a hand in some activist causes since college. But gun control legislation "has for the last six weeks consumed me, as I'm sure it has everyone else."
"I have to be part of the solution," she said. "It's not a choice."
Miranda Pacchiana, a mother of three children who went through Sandy Hook Elementary, was at both the march in Washington and the first public hearing on Monday. She said there has to be a sensible approach that may not please everyone, but that most parties will agree is valid — a sentiment that carried through much of the group gathered Tuesday.
"I think that we're hearing a lot of extreme points of view but there's truth to both sides," Pacchiana said. "We have to understand that not everybody lives in Newtown — people live in different environments with different challenges."
Many members of the group stressed that they are not against the Second Amendment so long as there are regulations, such as limits on high-capacity magazines, background checks for all gun purchases and permitting for ammunition.
Pacchiana also mentioned the culture of violence in America and suggested that the group make that a focus of their efforts as well.
"In the last 20 years the balance has shifted so far to being a more violent society," she said. "It's really out of balance and we need to put it back in balance."
Newtown resident and former police officer Darren Wagner agreed, speaking to the culture and atmosphere guns produce.
"For 10 years I was paid to carry a gun; when I was off duty I carried a gun — it generates a sense of paranoia," Wagner said.
"These kind of guns, you don't need them," he added, speaking specifically of assault rifles like the AR-15. "As officers, we don't want to face them… they don't give us a chance. I've had friends killed, seen what it does to families. I've seen it all — now I've seen it in my own town."
After Dec. 14, Wagner, like almost every attendee in the room Tuesday, said he couldn't sit idle anymore.
"Our family decided to speak up and that's what we're going to do," he said.
"We didn't ask to be in this fight, but we are now," Ackert said, urging residents to show up Wednesday night at Newtown High School for the second hearing of the Task Force. "Even if you choose not to speak, showing up matters."
Ackert also implored residents to write their representatives in Hartford and Washington, "now, everyday for the next 30 days," while lawmakers consider critical legislation on gun control.

Personal Safety Tactics is a new column that will appear regularly in Patch. You'll find that one of the themes running through most of these tactics is that you always need to be aware of your surroundings. Considering all the diversions that are part of daily life, that can be more difficult than it sounds. So in addition to considering individual safety tactics, make it a practice to pay as much attention to your surroundings as you do to your cell phone.
One of the definitions of "tactic" is "a method of employing forces in combat." While the term "tactic" may seem a bit inappropriate when used in connection with personal safety, when criminals are looking for potential victims, they consider methods of employing force. It's only fitting that a tactical approach be used as an approach to personal safety.
The Scenario: You're on your way home from work, school, dinner, a shopping trip or a night on the town. You pull into your driveway, open the door and BAM, you're suddenly fact-to-face with a thug who is obviously not a member of any "welcome home" committee.
His intention is clearly to rob you or do bodily harm.
The Personal Safety Tactic: Ideally, you checked your vehicle before getting in and started monitoring your surroundings as soon as you started driving. Chances are, however, that you didn't because you didn't feel the need to, and depending on the location, that's a perfectly natural reaction. If you're well-acquainted with a particular area, there's no reason to be suspicious, but there's also no reason to assume that trouble isn't brewing.
That may seem like you're on the road to paranoia, rather than home, and it may well be the case. However, as the old saying goes, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you!" So your safety tactic is to develop a plan that splits the difference between paranoia and blissful ignorance.
Even if you check things out at the beginning of your trip, pick a "trigger spot" about a half mile to a mile from your destination. It can be a building, traffic signal, sign, tree or any other object along the way. When you see it, start checking your rear view mirror and make note of the vehicles behind you. (That's "vehicles" plural. If someone is following you, he may choose to "hide" by staying a car or two behind.)
As you turn into your subdivision or office park, keep checking, and if the same vehicle is still behind you, drive past your destination. If it's just a coincidence, and the vehicle is not following you, it should turn off at some point. If it doesn't, proceed to a safe location (police station or somewhere with a lot of people around).
Don't pull to the side of the road and use your cell phone to call for help. Once you stop your vehicle, you put yourself at greater risk unless you're in a well-lit location with a lot of people on site.
Nine times out of ten, it will just be a coincidence that a vehicle seemed to be following you. But, it only takes once for a seeming coincidence to become a life-threatening problem.

Joplin police this week reversed the course of recent online sting operations and nabbed johns instead of prostitutes at a local motel.
Detectives with the Joplin Police Department have been calling the numbers listed in escort services ads on Backpage.com over the past nine months and either arresting or citing those who showed up for dates. They reversed the sting Wednesday, according to police Sgt. Chad Allison.
"We posted the ad and had johns respond to us," Allison said.
Detectives arrested one man and cited three others for soliciting prostitution when they arrived at a designated motel room with an intention of paying for sexual favors, he said. Their ages ranged from 36 to 67, and all were from the Joplin or Springfield areas.
Allison said the johns face the same misdemeanor charge with which police have been booking the prostitutes who advertise on Backpage.com. He said the decision to target johns instead of prostitutes reflects the department's acknowledgment that customers contribute to the problems prostitution brings to the city.
He said detectives posted an ad under the female escorts section of Backpage.com with a picture of a woman and the proverbial promise: "For a good time." The ad included a "trucker friendly" enticement.
"But none of (those who responded to the ad) ended up being truck drivers," Allison said.

- Pour water, 1/2 cup coconut milk, and rice into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tofu and cook until golden-brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. When browned, stir in green beans, curry powder, and 1/4 cup of coconut milk. Simmer until the green beans are tender, then serve over rice.

This is a good base recipe, but I had to make a lot of changes. I doubled it, added 2 tablespoons of sugar to the rice and coconut milk, used a tablespoon of butter, sauteed the tofu with the curry powder, and added garlic, ginger paste, salt and a little sugar to the sauce. I also used light coconut milk, steamed the green beans before adding, and added some baby corn. It turned out to be fantastic. I'm definitely making this again.
I really liked this recipe, but agree it needs salt and a little extra curry powder. I added about a tsp of sugar, raisins, and onions too. When I make it again, I will definitely steam the green beans before I add them to the mixture. They take forever to get tender and the sauce nearly disappears!
This recipe was great once it was tweaked. I was afraid it would be too bland, so I added 1/4 tsp Madras curry powder (in addition to the regular curry powder), 1/4 tsp cumin and 1/4 tsp salt. I also added an extra 1/4 cup coconut milk for more sauce. I will definitely make this again!
