Pollutant Effects on Neurophysiological Recordings from Sensory And Motor Neurons Of The Crayfish
Proper sensory input and motor output relies on constant nervous system activity. We proposed to test the neurological effects of a chemical pollutant on crayfish, Orconectes propinquus. Nonylphenol is a chemical used in detergents and pesticides that is commonly concentrated in crayfish, fish, and birds. Crayfish were exposed to 0.20 µL of nonylphenol for seven days. At the conclusion, crayfish sensory and motor neuron capabilities were tested by allowing crayfish to find food in a Y-maze. Data recorded included percent success finding food, time to find food, time spent motionless, and time spent in the food arm of the Y-maze. In phase two of experiments, primary sensory and motor neurons will be isolated to test changes in membrane potential across axonal membranes. By doing so, we will elucidate any alterations in neuronal signals due to nonylphenol exposure. For example, a reduction in neuronal signaling would indicate the pollutant directly affects the crayfish nervous system.

MANATEE -- Family members of the slain Jazmin Catano are trying to raise enough money to return her remains to her native Colombia.
The family created a bank account for family and friends who have been chipping in to help defray the expensive cost of transporting her home, according to family friend Julian Aguilar.
Catano was found dead in her new apartment just before midnight June 23.
Ex-boyfriend Andres Collazos remains the only person of interest identified in the Manatee Sheriff's Office investigation.
Detectives are still trying to build a case strong enough to issue an arrest warrant, according to Manatee County Sheriff's Office spokesman Dave Bristow.
"He is still a person of interest," Bristow said. "But if the case goes a different direction, then so be it."
Collazos was named a person of interest after detectives trying to find him for questioning discovered he had flown out of Ft Lauderdale to his native Colombia the same day Catano's body was discovered.
"We are hopeful and confident that it will lead to an arrest," Bristow said. "In these cases it takes several days and in some cases several weeks to process evidence and get the results."
Once an arrest warrant is issued, the Manatee County Sheriff's Office could work to extradite him from Colombia, since the United States has had an extradition agreement with the country since 1982.
Catano was an employee of the Manatee County Clerk of Courts criminal division. She had a 12-year-old son and a 3-year-old daughter with ex-husband of 11 years, Jorge Carvalho.
The children celebrated birthdays last week without their mother.
Catano separated from her ex-husband in March 2011 and started dating Collazos later that year. She lived with Collazos until just before her death when she moved into her own apartment.
Manatee detectives report family and friends insisted Collazos be interviewed following her death.
The Manatee Sheriff's Office investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call MSO at 941-747-3011, ext. 2518 or Crime Stoppers at 866-634-TIPS.

WOODBURN -- Police shot a man who was reportedly firing rounds and pointing a shotgun at passing vehicles and at a person walking down the street early Friday, police said.
Three officers exchanged gunfire with a 20-year-old man around 9:30 p.m. outside a home in the 1100 block of 5th Street in Woodburn, said Lt. Gregg Hastings with Oregon State Police.
The man was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
None of the officers was injured during the encounter and police did not release the name of the suspect.
UPDATE: The officers involved in the shooting were identified Monday as 31-year-old Sergeant Andron Shadrin and 32-year-old Corporal Shawn Hershberger, who have both been with Woodburn police for six years, and 38-year-old Officer Thomas Courson, who has worked for Woodburn police for five years.
They were all placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation, Hastings said.

The New Rochelle City Council heard at a recent meeting options for the disposition of the Department of Public Works facility on East Main Street.
At issue is whether the city wants to approve financing to move the yard to city-owned property on Beechwood Avenue, renovate and modernize the current location or put off any action which would cancel proposed plans for the development of Echo Bay.
If the city were to build a new facility on Beechwood, it would cost $18.6 million, according to figures presented at the council meeting. Built into that is $2 million in contingency costs.
That figure is up from a previously estimated $14 million.
The Department of Development has estimated that it would cost $24.4 million—including $4.5 million in contingency costs—to modernize the current City Yard.
Not doing anything for three years—in other words, deferring the job, but losing the possibility of developing Echo Bay—would cost the city $21.4 million.
Factored into that number is over $1.7 million in inflation, estimated at 3 percent per year, and $600,000 in short-term costs from emergency repairs and salt loss.
Mayor Noam Bramson said a real pocketbook choice the council has to make is whether to finance the project by having the taxpayers pay the entire amount or to reduce taxpayers costs through a private-public partnership with the Forest City Residential development team.
The developer proposes to build 200-300 residential units at what is now City Yard on East Main Street with up to 50,000 square feet of retail space.
A key component of any agreement to develop Echo Bay would be helping to offset the cost of moving the public works department's facilities.
Under a development agreement, the city could receive $15.8 million over 20 years in permit and other fees, payment in lieu of taxes, refuse fees and sales and utility taxes.
It the project is completed, Echo Bay could also bring in over $24 million in revenue to the county and the library.
The agreement with Forest City regarding the schools is that they will pay all projected school costs, based on 22 projected students and marginal per pupil expenses of $17,500, which would increase 2.5 percent annually.
"That is way Echo Bay is relevant to the project," Bramson said.
Mayor Noam Bramson was clear on what he thought was the best approach.
"In my opinion, the evidence argues strongly in favor of relocating our public works yard and that doing so would benefit the city from a fiscal economic and planning perspective," he said.
"Among the worst decisions in the history of New Rochelle would be to modernize the City Yard on the site on East Main," he said. "It would be throwing tens of millions of taxpayer dollars into the garbage can."
Bramson said moving the yard to Beechwood Avenue and improving Echo Bay by a developer would be much better for the city and its residents.
"It would have a better bottom line and make a stronger economy," he said.
Property on Beechwood Avenue, which is zoned for light industrial use, was selected years ago, Bramson said, after a search of the entire community and was determined to be the most viable location from an operational and fiscal perspective.
Bramson said it was likely the council will select one of the options at its next meeting Nov. 16.

Songs on "Here And Now" that would/would not make great singles
I think Nickelback didn't want to have 8 singles on their newest album this time. I'm going to share with you the songs that would/would not make good singles.
GOTTA GET ME SOME - This one definitely would of made an awesome single, and I bet the music video for this would probably be very hot!!!! I guess Nickelback wanted to leave it the way it was instead of being played to death on the radio I can understand that.
TRYING NOT TO LOVE YOU - This is my favorite song on the album like I mentioned before, this song SCREAMS "single" but it's kinda nice that it wasn't one. I think the songs we like the best on the albums are the ones that don't make it as singles.
DON'T EVER LET IT END - This is a beautiful closure song for the new album, it reminds me of "See You At The Show", I'm not saying they both sound the same lyrically, just the pacing of it and the overall vibe is awesome!!! This is a song worthy of a single, maybe Nickelback didn't want their new album to have 8 singles like 'Dark Horse' was. I still don't know why there were 8 singles on 'Dark Horse' it's silly if you ask me.
MIDNIGHT QUEEN - This song is badass!!! this would make a great single too, but I have a feeling that Nickelback didn't want to make another raunchy/sex song as a single considering they already had songs like that already "Something In Your Mouth", "Shakin' Hands", and "Animals". This song deserves to be left alone, I think it would lose it's spark if you turned it into a "radio friendly tune".

Original Report: A two-vehicle crash on northbound Highway 17 north of the Laurel curve is backing up traffic on Tuesday morning.
At 10:16 a.m., CHP and Scotts Valley Fire responded to reports of the accident, involving a black Cadillac Escalade and either a white van or pick-up truck, dispatchers said.
The SUV was still laying on its side 30 minutes after the crash with an ambulance on the way, CHP Officer Sarah Jackson said.
The accident is blocking the right lane, but traffic is still moving slowly past the wreckage in the right lane, Jackson said.
According to dispatchers, one person called in to report that a dog running in the highway had caused the accident. That has not yet been confirmed.
Adding to the traffic is a minor accident just before the Laurel curve involving a black Mazda Miada.
It is not yet known if anyone was injured in the bigger crash. Stay tuned to Patch for more details.

This Is What It's Like When The Tea Party Invades Washington
Grace Wyler/Business Insider
For the uninitiated, CPAC is an annual opportunity for right-wing Americans to really let their freak flag fly, away from the prying eyes of the liberal elite. Thousands of conservatives descended on Washington this year for three days of Republican pageantry, during which even the fringey-est elements of the GOP are allowed to make their presence known.
The entire spectrum of American conservatism was on display for the opening day on Thursday. Candidates of conservative past (Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry) were on hand, as well as candidates of the movement's future (i.e. Rand Paul, Marco Rubio).
Away from the main stage, white nationalist Peter Brimelow spoke at a panel on the "failure of multiculturalism," convicted Iran-Contra propagandist Elliot Abrams talked about the relative merits of the Arab Spring, and "juggler/pickup artist" Wayne Elise schooled young conservatives in the perils of bipartisan dating.
Overall, it was a spirited start to what promises to be an eventful election-year CPAC. We can only hope that this is a preview to the 2012 RNC in Tampa this summer.

It's almost time to 'spring forward' again.
At 2 a.m. on the morning of Sunday, March 11, we'll set our clocks forward one hour to 3 a.m.—and lose an hour of the weekend—for the beginning of daylight saving time. The good news: Sunset will be an hour later.
This year, daylight saving time will run from March 11 until Nov. 4—unless you're in Arizona, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands. They don't do daylight saving time.
Around the world, about 75 countries and territories have at least one location that observes Daylight Saving Time, according to TimeandDate.com. On the other hand, 164 don't observe the time change at all.
Daylight Saving Time History
According to the Huffington Post:
Benjamin Franklin has been credited with the idea of daylight saving time, but Britain and Germany began using the concept during World War I to conserve energy, the Washington Post says. The U.S. used daylight saving time for a brief time during the War, but it didn't become widely accepted in the States until after World War II.
In 1966, the Uniform Time Act outlined that clocks should be set forward on the last Sunday in April and set back the last Sunday in October.
That law was amended in 1986 to start daylight saving time on the first Sunday in April, though the new system wasn't implemented until 1987. The end date was not changed, however, and remained the last Sunday in October until 2006.
Today, daylight saving time begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The time change will precede the first day of spring and the vernal equinox, which is set to take place at 1:14 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 20.
Check Smoke Detectors When Changing Clocks
The switch to daylight saving time is a good reminder to check smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. You should:
- Change the batteries in your detectors whenever you're changing your clock for daylight saving time, so once in the fall and once in the spring.
- Clean out the detectors and the area around them, since they can get dusty just like anything else in your home. Use a vacuum with a bristle attachment to vacuum out the devices, and don't use cleaning solvent or anything wet to wipe them out, as that could damage them.
- Replace the smoke detectors themselves every 10 years.
- Take five minutes to talk with your family about general fire safety, since the topic is at the forefront of your mind. Make sure family members know the best routes out of your home in case of a fire, and agree on a meeting place outside.
- If you have a fire extinguisher, make sure that's accessible and in working order.
Fan of daylight saving time, or not? Tell other Patch readers why in the comments section below.

Classic Fit Slim-Sation Pull-On Ankle-Length Pants 10 10
Fun comfy slimming pant I was skeptical. Actually, the panel doesn't do much but the pants are constructed in such a way that they are slimming. The fabric is part of the reason. The fabric is surprisingly elegant so these pants can go casual or dressy depending on your top. I am 5'4" and the ankle pants hit right at my ankle. Cute slits at the ankle. Very nice pants. July 12, 2014
Comfortable and sharp I don't think the panel in the front does anything at all. But the pants feel really great on and they drape nicely. Can be used professionally or casually depending on the top/jacket. I think the pants run a little large in the waist but if I sized down, the legs and hips would be too tight. So I will stick with the larger waist. I like pull on pants for one reason....no zipper/button bumps under clothes. Bonus is the comfort. I am ordering another color and searching for places where I can find more. July 4, 2014
The Best the most comfortable pants I have ever owned. Love them the full lenght pant is also great!! June 28, 2014
Liked them but shrunk a lot I really love these pants, even though the length shrunk UP a LOT after washing and drying. Otherwise, very comfortable pants and look nice. I'll buy another pair and air dry them next time. May 13, 2014
Not flattering I found these to be loose in the waist & not slimming at all. The fabric was thin & the white see-through. May 1, 2014
Slimming and nice but too short for me These were a nice quality material and very slimming and comfortable. I think these would be perfect if you a about 5'5" or if you like the look of ankle length. I wish these came in tall because they were just a bit too short for my taste. I am 5'7". June 11, 2014
Surprisingly Comfortable & Stylish I typically take a size 2 in Jag jeans but the smallest size in these was a size 4. So I thought I would give them a try. To my surprise they fit perfect! They do run a bit small which is why I can get away with a size 4. I have laundered them but did not put them in the dryer & there was no shrinkage at all. Overall very pleased with these pants & will be ordering more colors. June 1, 2014
Smart look-Comfortable fit These pants fit very well, trim but not too tight, comfortable for travel and just all day wear. I just wish they came in brown and green as well. June 3, 2014

The Duncan Banner
Much can be seen by one person in 100 years and Fanny Russell of Duncan, who celebrates her centennial birthday today, has seen a lot and still has quite a bit of spunk.
Russell was born Dec. 7, 1912, in Wynnewood but grew up in Hennepen as an only child. Her mother was Chickasaw and her father Choctaw and she says her childhood was nothing exciting because there were no siblings to run around with.
If you ask Russell what has been a big part of her secret to life, she will tell you cooking. This is an activity she has been doing since she was young, both as a pleasure and a job. When she was 14 in the mid-1920s, she left her mother to go work for a young family.
"I met a lady in Tulsa, Mrs. Gordon Fisher, and I worked for her and moved around with her," said Russell. "She traveled where there was water because she had a yacht."
From Tulsa, Russell went with Fisher and her family, which included two children, to Atlanta, Ga., then on to Baltimore, Md.
Fisher cared for Russell much like she did her own children, as whenever they were given something, Russell was also given the same. There are many fond memories of that time, she said.
"We got lost in Washington D.C. and traveled through the Smoky Mountains," she said. "There was a lot of fun and a lot of beauty during that time."
They stayed in Baltimore for several years and while there in 1940, Fisher had a larger yacht built and the day of its christening Russell was supposed to travel to Denver, Colo., for the summer but Fisher told her to put it off for a day.
"She told me, 'Fanny, I'm going to take you where you'll see something you'll never see again," Russell said. "We went in a limo and I sat in the front row on the ground in front of her at the changing of the color guard at West Point."
After the ceremony, she was able to see three battleships that were anchored near the school, one of which was the USS Oklahoma. Soon after that day, Fisher went on a trip to Brazil and returned to the states ill. She was taken directly to California and Russell stayed in Colorado, never to see her again.
"I had a beautiful life working and living with that family," she said. "I lived in Denver for a while and cooked for different families until I got old."
Her final job was working for a Catholic priest until she herself became too sick to continue working. Russell moved to Duncan in 1999 where she is cared for by her cousin. She has had two cancer operations and a cracked hip, yet she feels at peace.
"You never know what's next for you but you go with what God has for you," she said. "God's been good to me and has blessed me and I love Him with all my heart and all my mind. He's showing me the way."
Russell's family is having a small get-together Saturday, in celebration of her milestone birthday.

******We sprinkled updates into this blog. We're highlighting them like this.******Thanks to TechCrunch, U.S. tech reporters are about to spend another weekend working instead of playing. UPDATE: Or maybe Kara Swisher at All Things D will save them!******Two sources told proprietor Michael Arrington that Google "is in late stage negotiations to acquire Twitter." He wrote:***
We don't know the price but can assume its well, well north of the $250 million valuation that they saw in their recent funding.
Twitter turned down an offer to be bought by Facebook just a few months ago for half a billion dollars, although that was based partially on overvalued Facebook stock. Google would be paying in cash and/or publicly valued stock, which is equivalent to cash. So whatever the final acquisition value might be, it can't be compared apples-to-apples with the Facebook deal.
Why would Google want Twitter? We've been arguing for some time that Twitter's real value is in search. It holds the keys to the best real time database and search engine on the Internet, and Google doesn't even have a horse in the game.
******Later, he updated his entry to say that another source told him talks are at an early stage and could amount to a deal to build a Google real-time search engine. Who knows how this one will shake out. Web operations like Twitter can't get popular without people starting to fit puzzle pieces together to see which company ought to buy them. That might be why The San Francisco Business Times picked up Wired and Industry Standard founder John Battelle's blog entry that Twitter would go to Rupert Murdoch's News Corp for $750 million. Turns out it was an April Fool's joke.******Then Swisher at All Things D said this:***
While the "news" that Google was in "late-stage" talks to acquire Twitter, which TechCrunch reported last night, certainly sounds exciting, it isn't accurate in any way, according to a number of sources BoomTown spoke to close to the situation.
******She also covered herself with a "to-be-sure graf," as hacks like me call them:***
Google or anyone else could plunk down more than $1 billion in cash and I cannot imagine Twitter's investors would or could resist. Nor should they. And, what if, for example, Microsoft (MSFT) offered some huge cash payday for Twitter? In that case, I am certain Google would jump into the face-off, backing up a giant Brinks trunk to the door of Twitter's San Francisco offices.

How HPP Works
Why is it that young children are served juice? It is a fairly easy way to supply them with beneficial vitamins and minerals. Most children do not resist juice like they do vegetables, so many parents rely on it as an inexpensive way to give their children nutrition. But what process is involved in turning fruits into fruit juice and does it harm the nutrients? Unfortunately, yes. Words like pasteurized can often appear on food labels without receiving much consideration from consumers. Pasteurization is the process that various foods undergo which involves heating in order to kill harmful microbial growth. This process is commonly used for canned foods, dairy products, vinegar, wines and juice. While effective at killing bacteria, pasteurization damages the nutrients of the foods. The result is a product with low nutrition. The food companies continue to boast the nutritional benefits of their products at the expense of the consumer. The process of pasteurization can also involve the use of chemicals and additives, resulting in a longer shelf life. In turn, increased profit for the food companies means less nutrition for the consumer.
Fortunately there is a process under which fruits and vegetables can go that will not render them lower in nutritional value. This process is called pascalization and it differs from pasteurization in that food is treated with high pressure water rather than high heat. In some cases more than 80,000 pounds of pressure is applied per square inch, inactivating pathogens and harmful micro-organisms, while preserving enzymes, vitamins and minerals. At o2living our fresh, organic cold pressed juices, Green Vitality, Lemon Twist, Carrot Kick, Red Radiance and Almond Envy are PASCALIZED, unpasturized, or HPP'd. This means that you are receiving the high vitamin, live enzyme nutrition that your diet needs. You can be sure that our healthy juices will detox your body, help you look better and increase your energy.
When it comes to fruits and vegetables, it is always most beneficial to consume them raw, as to not alter their miraculous enzymes. Drinking our live o2living raw juice will always deliver fruits and vegetables just as they should be consumed.

Western Pennsylvania Democrats had some harsh words for Gov. Tom Corbett's proposed 2013-14 state budget, which he presented Tuesday, while state Republican Party Chairman Rob Gleason called the governor's plan a "balanced and responsible budget that reinvests in Pennsylvania."
"The plan presented by the governor is disappointing," said Senate Democratic Leader Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills. "It was long on politics but short on solutions."
State Rep. Erin Molchany, a newly elected Democrat serving South Hills communities said the governor's "Band-Aid budget does little to make up for the hurt this state has felt from his deep cuts."
State Rep. Robert Matzie, a Democrat representing the Sewickley area, said: "New Jersey has Chris Christie as its governor, but we have Kris Kringle as the governor tried to portray himself as Santa Claus when mentioning the funding of some line items that have been woefully underfunded under his watch especially human services."
House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods, though, had praise for Corbett's proposals.
"More than 100,000 family-sustaining, private sector jobs have been added to the Pennsylvania economy since Gov. Corbett took office in January 2011," Turzai said. "The state of Pennsylvania has without a doubt weathered a difficult national economy better because of the leadership and the initiatives of this legislature along with Gov. Corbett."
See what some of the legislators representing the region's Patch areas had to say in reaction to the budget proposal:
State House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Bradford Woods
(See attached video.)
Senate Minority Leader Jay Costa, D-Forest Hills
State Sen. Jay Costa said that he was concerned that the governor has turned to linking one issue with another which he said has been correctly described as Washington D.C.–style politics which have been rejected by citizens. The governor bases his budget on the passage of controversial measures that he thinks will be approved by the General Assembly.
Costa said the governor planned to rely on pension savings and the sale of liquor stores while infusing $200 million into discretionary education spending this year and that was problematic. Costa said it is highly unlikely that his liquor and pension reforms will pass.
The governor also did not provide leadership on job creation, leaving Pennsylvania families still struggling to make ends meet, the Democratic leader lamented.
"We should not be linking anything to education. Pennsylvania students and taxpayers need the governor to invest in our schools without strings attached," Costa said. "The governor is exporting our Lottery to England and importing Washington-style politics to Harrisburg."
(See attached video.)
State Sen. Matt Smith, D-Mt. Lebanon
State Sen. Matt Smith blasted the governor's plan to privatize the state liquor stores and funnel money to education. The newly-elected senator said he thinks those two policy issues should "stand alone" and not be merged into the debate.
"(The governor) is saying on one hand that we need more education investment, but saying the only way we have to do that is by privatizing the state stores," Smith said. "That should be a stand-alone issue. You don't make (education funding) dependent on privatizing the state stores."
Smith suggested that the legislature reopen the debate on a Marcellus Shale severance tax to bring more revenue into the state's coffers. The state enacted a natural gas drilling local impact fee that spreads money across municipalities.
"I think when you're talking about a priority like education, you have to look at all funding options and all opportunities," Smith said. "And I think that's a big one that's out there."
Smith did praise the governor's plans to bolster transportation funding. He hoped the governor's budget could be a starting point to reach a bipartisan solution to the state's crumbling transportation infrastructure.
"It's a long-overdue debate that we should have," Smith said. "We need to put everything on the table and engage and educate the public. Everyone agrees there is a problem with funding bridges, funding roads and funding mass transit. But I don't think the public has been engaged in the debate."
State Sen. Tim Solobay, D-Canonsburg
"The budget proposed by Gov. Corbett today will certainly see dramatic changes before it will be passed by the General Assembly.
It's hard to believe that after a year and a half of delay, the transportation plan is only half of what the administration's Transportation Funding Advisory Commission recommended. It would pretty much guarantee that wear and tear on roads would be more than we could keep up with. Making a more aggressive investment in transportation infrastructure would create thousands of construction jobs and make Pennsylvania a more attractive state for businesses.
The idea of tying education funding to a liquor-license auction is bad public policy that has little support on either side of the aisle in either chamber. Making it the centerpiece of the budget and the chief source of money for schools is only adding delay to the process.
Nearly a million people in Pennsylvania have no health insurance and depend on the emergency room as the family doctor. The federal government is offering to pay 90 percent of the cost to insure these people and save hospitals billions. It makes no sense that we ignore that offer and continue to let health problems bankrupt working families and community hospitals.
While it's good that this budget includes no structural tax increases for families, it leaves giant corporate tax loopholes wide open and ignores opportunities to reform, reinvest and revive our economy."
State Rep. John Maher, R-Upper St. Clair
"Every governor's budget presentation winds up in the end as merely a first draft. Even as a first draft, it is a very good start. I perceive bipartisan consensus on the vast majority of budget line items," Rep. John Maher said.
State Rep. Erin Molchany, D-Mt. Washington
"In my district, most people didn't watch Governor Corbett's budget address. They went to work and to school. It was disappointing to me that as I watched the governor's address, I heard little that promised an easier commute or a smaller class size for those I was elected to serve.
"In Pittsburgh and surrounding communities, we need smoother roads, safer bridges and improved public transportation. Instead, the governor proposed new funding which falls far short of the minimum recommended by a bipartisan, expert commission.
"We want a better education for our children, which will do far more to secure Pennsylvania's economic future than continuing giveaways to corporations making questionable promises of jobs and revenue. Instead, the governor offered a few short years of funding from his 'Liquor for Schools' scheme, restoring just a fraction of education cuts from his previous budgets while putting thousands out of work and inviting increases in underage drinking and drunk driving.
"We want to support and take care of the most vulnerable in our community—our seniors and those who lack access to quality health care. The governor promised a backroom deal with a foreign company to fund our most vital programs for seniors with gambling parlors in our neighborhoods. He then announced that he would not accept federal funding for a Medicaid expansion which would cover more than half of Pennsylvania's uninsured without spending one state tax dollar."
State Rep. Robert F. Matzie, D-Ambridge
"The governor had a chance to rehabilitate his image and commitment to the people of Pennsylvania today but failed. His plan regarding transportation and education, especially, continue the attacks from his first two budgets against middle-class working families.
"Gov. Corbett has wasted two years before deciding to address the state's transportation crisis. First, he decided to set up a transportation study commission. Then he ignores the commission's findings and now he comes up with his 'bold' transportation plan to lift the tax cap on oil and gas companies, which he says isn't a tax. Well, governor, just admit it. It is a tax, and it will indirectly be passed on to consumer at the gas pump.
"Transportation isn't the only issue where Gov. Corbett has a poor track record. Education is another. There are no specifics in the plan regarding how to accomplish funding the budget as much as it is predicated on uncertainty, specifically regarding education as the governor is counting on the privatization of liquor stores. But the fact remains that public education, as with many line items, is flat funded and still retain the drastic cuts that he handed down over the past two budgets."
State Rep. Frank Dermody, D-Oakmont
Democratic House Leader Rep. Frank Dermody, who represents Oakmont and a portion of Plum, said Corbett's proposed budget "falls short in many areas."
Dermody said that while the proposed budget does offer a "slight" increase in basic education funding, it doesn't make up for the cuts in the last two years. He also remarked that the proposed funding for transportation is "not anywhere close to adequate."
Dermody lamented that the state's unemployment rate has been at or above the national average for five months, and said the governor is making the wrong choice when it comes to healthcare.
"The governor says Pennsylvania's best days are ahead of it. I certainly hope so—because these are not our best days right now," Dermody said Tuesday.
"To sum up, we expected much more. We expected better leadership from this governor. We did not get it."
State Rep. Harry Readshaw, D-Carrick
"Gov. Corbett's budget appears to be a magic act.
"The governor's proposal to add $90 million to basic education amounts to just one-tenth of the money he slashed from public schools two years ago.
"The governor's plan to link liquor store privatization to education funding is short-sighted educational stimulous plan that will result in a fiscal cliff for public schools after four years.
"The governor is gambling with our senior citizens' programs, handing over control of our successful lottery to a British company at a potential cost of bllions of dollars over 20 years that would otherwise go to programs that help older Pennsylvanians. This is outrageous!"
State Rep. Joe Markosek, D-Monroeville
State Rep. Joe Markosek, who represents a portion of Plum, said Corbett's budget "is full of misguided policies, missed opportunities and failed promises."
Like Dermody, Markosek said the small funding increases reflected in the current budget proposal won't make up for the cuts in previous years.
Markosek said policy makers should be concerned with education, state pensions, liquor privatization, lottery privatization, healthcare expansion and transportation funding. As chairman of the transportation board, Markosek said Corbett's budget fails to adequately address the state's crumbling transportation infrastructure in a timely fashion.
"He [presented] a plan to us that is woefully short of the $4.5 billion need to 'fuel' our economy," Markosek said Tuesday. "His proposed solution doesn't even get us halfway there. It's the equivalent to an air ball when we need a slam dunk."
State Rep. Jesse White, D-Cecil
"In his third budget address to the legislature, Gov. Corbett reminded Pennsylvanians from across the political spectrum whose side he is really on," White said. "From increasing the wholesale tax on gasoline in his vague transportation plan, to continuing a love affair with corporate welfare by giving hundreds of millions of dollars in favors to special interests, the governor's proposal appears to be another shell game in which real Pennsylvanians—workers, families, students and seniors- continually lose.
"The governor proposed a plan to add $90 million to basic education, but failed to mention this is just a fraction of the money he slashed from public schools two years ago, leaving local taxpayers to carry the weight through higher property taxes. He's trying to gamble our senior citizens' programs by handing over control of our successful lottery to a British company, potentially costing the state billions of dollars that would otherwise help older Pennsylvanians. And he had the pure nerve to refer to Act 13 as the 'most comprehensive environmental and safety regulations on gas drilling in the nation,' which might be funny if it wasn't so damn disingenuous, infuriating and borderline delusional.
"Unfortunately, the failed rhetoric, gimmicks and short-term fixes recommended by the governor make it clear that the House and Senate, although both firmly in Republican control, will have to stand up for what's right for the people of Pennsylvania. The consequences of allowing Gov. Corbett to push his agenda are too serious to ignore."
State Reps. Marc Gergely and Bill Kortz, D-Dravosburg
State Reps. Marc Gergely and Bill Kortz released the following statement in response to Gov. Tom Corbett's 2013-14 budget proposal delivered to the state legislature today.
"The governor's budget has more trap doors than a Vaudeville stage," Kortz said. "This budget continues the governor's reckless schemes of cutting education, giving away the state lottery and state liquor stores while giving huge tax cuts to big businesses and failing to close the Delaware loophole which allows 85 percent of corporations doing business in the state to pay less income tax than a family earning $36,000.
"The rich get richer while the students, seniors, and working class take it on the chin once more. Gov. Corbett is a believer in the 47 percent claim by Governor Romney and his budget proves this. His scheme of close your eyes and privatize is flawed," Kortz said.
"Pennsylvania should be investing in the education of young people and growing our economy to create jobs. Instead the governor is fighting to end the Capital Stock and Franchise Tax and cut other businesses taxes that would force more of the burden on to struggling middle-class families." Gergely said. "Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana said his party needs to stop being the party of 'stupid ideas.' I guess our governor didn't get that message."
- Education: "Parents and property taxpayers are still reeling from the $1 billion in state funding cuts for public schools under this governor that have forced property tax hikes, larger class sizes and program cuts," Gergely said. "He's ignoring the state's broken school funding formula that puts poorer school districts like Duquesne at a disadvantage." "This governor has again proven his indifference to providing a good education for our young students," Kortz said. "His proposal to add $90 million to basic education amounts to only one-tenth of the state funding he slashed from public schools two years ago. Contrary to the governor's 'spin' his education cuts of $1 billion from two years ago are locked in. Gov. Corbett's budget leaves all children behind. These cuts have hurt school districts and communities. Governor, you either educate or incarcerate."
- Transportation: "His transportation plan is weak, almost two years late, and billions of dollars short," Kortz said. "We need at least $3.5 billion to fix our crumbling roads, bridges and mass transit, but the governor is committed to only about half the job," Kortz said. "We have nearly 5,000 structurally deficient bridges in this state and 100 currently shut down. Every day the governor waits to seriously address the problem, the cost to fix our transportation problem goes up." Gergely said: "The Pittsburgh region has the highest rate of problem bridges in the country. We need the governor to join us to fix the problem, not more Band-Aids. Building modern roads and bridges and adequately supporting the Port Authority would create thousands of construction jobs and show the world that Pennsylvania is open for business."
- More Business Tax Cuts: "Again, the governor wants regular people to open their wallets to pay for massive tax cuts for big businesses," Gergely said. "Under this governor, state budget cuts have forced millions of residents to pay more local taxes. Now he wants to give more tax breaks to his corporate friends." "He is the guardian of the Delaware loophole allowing businesses to escape from paying their fair share of taxes in this state," Kortz said. "Gov. Corbett has put his pledge to national Republican power elite like Grover Norquist over his pledge to the people of Pennsylvania."
- Health Care: "Over the last two years, this Republican governor cut $63 million in child care. This budget prevents 500,000 people from getting health care coverage. That's morally irresponsible," Kortz said.

John McQuaid, Contributor
I write about dysfunctional America.
Nostalgia for the days when bipartisanship was actually occasionally practiced in Washington still dominates among the political establishment and media. The example of Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill negotiating over tax reform is held up as something that still might be possible, if only. Of course, that's not going to happen as the fight over the sequester cuts and debt limit approaches. It's going to be messy and acrimonious and possibly catastrophic. Because the basic dynamic has changed. Washington operates by customs and behavioral norms as much as it does by laws and parliamentary rules. And in recent years customs and norms have increasingly gone out the window, and a basic, civics textbook approach to political negotiation that has accomplished many things in ordinary circumstances has been replaced by insane forcing mechanisms.
Using the debt ceiling as a hostage in a negotiation was unthinkable before 2011. Now, it is expected. Eagerly anticipated by some, rationalized by others. Take this column by Sen. John Cornyn, which prepares the ground for a government shutdown (and, presumably, default) as necessary measures:
The coming deadlines will be the next flashpoints in our ongoing fight to bring fiscal sanity to Washington. It may be necessary to partially shut down the government in order to secure the long-term fiscal well being of our country, rather than plod along the path of Greece, Italy and Spain. President Obama needs to take note of this reality and put forward a plan to avoid it immediately.
This is irresponsible. Cornyn is basically trying to force Obama to take political risks the GOP itself is unwilling to take (that is, outline entitlement cuts and restructuring), while directly threatening the economic chaos that would ensue when the government stops meeting its obligations. It threatens an actual, immediate catastrophe as a condition for dealing with a thus far distant, thus far imaginary one.
There is no good policy rationale for this radical approach. The economy is slowly recovering; threatening to submarine that recovery serves no one. The broader problem is, though, that this kind of crazy stunt has now become business as usual. As Alec MacGillis writes, in the months leading up to the 2011 debt ceiling fight, the idea of debt hostage-taking was seen as nearly unthinkable. Then, suddenly, it became routine, an ordinary part of the Washington game.
The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza was more blunt in casting the debt-ceiling limit as the natural next step in negotiations: "Make no mistake: No deal on the fiscal cliff was a political loser for Republicans; this is an issue they needed to get off the table in order to find better political ground — debt ceiling — to make their stand."
So: a threat to plunge the nation's into default and with it imperil the nation and world's economy, seen only a year and a half ago as the political equivalent of a nuclear option, is now viewed as "better political ground." What to make of this? The shift in mindset is surely in part a function of basic human nature: our remarkable ability — for good or ill — to adapt ourselves to new realities. More than that, though, it is a function of that far more Beltway-unique tendency, to report and comment on politics and governance as pure gamesmanship in such a way that conveys savvy but not judgment. And if it's all a sport, who's to object if one side has radically shifted the goalposts? Good for them, if they can get away with it. And after all, the higher the stakes in the clash, the better the story.
As the Republican Party has moved to the right, its policy goals have become simultaneously more extreme and more vague, to the point of incoherence. Combine this with the decline of shared rules and limits on behavior. More crazy, dangerous stunts are inevitable, and will be seen as business as usual. (Unless, maybe, the media decide to persistently point out just how crazy and dangerous they are.) And, in all likelihood, very little of substance will actually be accomplished.

Mr. McQuaid, it's obvious that you are one of the "under-informed."
Exactly how long do you think we can keep borrowing 40c of every dollar we spend? 1 year? 5 years? 20 years? 50 years? Please give me a number.
The only thing Sen. Cornyn got wrong is thinking that Obama cares. He clearly does not. Obama would welcome a government shut-down because it would create the "crisis" that always benefits Obama.
You remember "Godfather" Rahm Emanuel's famous quote, don't you?
Barack Obama is not a "conventional" president.
It is a physical and mental impossibility to negotiate with him.
If he's at 10, I'm at 5, a reasonable person would argue that we'll eventually end up near 7.5, right? So I come up to 6 and he moves up to 12. I come up to 7 and he moves up to 14.
How do you negotiate with a bozo like that? Seriously. The answer is YOU CAN'T. Why? Because the man wants chaos. The man wants crisis. That is, after all, how you get things that weren't obtainable under normal conditions.
"An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent." Saul Alinsky – "Rules for Radicals"
I'm thinking you haven't read it. I have, and it's who Barack Obama is.
Mr. McQuaid,
Apparently, you are suggesting that Mr. Obama "chose to compromise" rather than fall off the cliff. He has shown us plebians many times how he chooses to lead. And lest we forget these words of our leader:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit."
Senator Barack Obama on March 16, 2006
That's a totally different context, John. Obama made that statement after Bush's Congress permitted two unpaid-for wars and the prescription give-away for seniors. TODAY, we are still climbing out of a recovery after, yes, doing some significant borrowed spending to keep the country afloat, which we did (fact!) far better than any other country suffering from the recession WE caused.
As I say over and over again, the biggest problem with conservatives approaches to spending is that they never, ever, EVER identify specifically what they would cut, WHY or what the effect would be. Wanna cut veterans benefits (so we only support the active military then, huh)? Medicaid (so what happens to the poor sick-let 'em die on the streets…or just die a lot sooner than if they got adequate care)? Medicare (so let seniors try to figure out how to make their "vouchers" stretch further)?
All ridiculous proposals and all usually made while our bridges and roads crumble and public education (which I know a lot of conservatives don't even support, just like they don't really support the social safety net at all–and still without a thought to what to do with folks who'd fall through it after they cut holes in it). Indeed, the out-of-context issue I started commenting on illustrates the conservative problem of blame, blame, blame: It's ALWAYS someone's fault. It's NEVER a reflection of reality-on-the-ground.
For example, reality-on-the-ground is that the country is NOT getting smaller. Nor is it getting simpler. And yet Republicans are always arguing like reducing the size (and complexity) of government makes sense. If they argued with specificity for making government more efficient and effective, I'd listen. But all they ever do is just say reduce its size, willy-nilly. People who are thoughtful instead of just resentful realize how silly that approach is.
Obama didn't go off the cliff because he got everything he wanted! Ok, he got 96% of everything he wanted. Instead of $200/$250 he had to "settle" for $400/$450. He also had to "settle" for a slight adjustment in the estate tax. He got everything else Mr. McQuaid. The BIG win was no spending cuts! And remember this, it was Biden who had to finish the job. It was Joe Biden who convinced Obama to take it.
You don't "think" Obama is a community organizer? You don't "think" he wants chaos? You don't "think" he wants crisis? You don't think he's a bully? You don't "think" he has no interest in negotiating anything? You don't "think" he's a radical?
Ok, you're obviously entitled to your opinion, but I've read the book. You haven't. Obama taught a class on Alinsky methods at the University of Chicago. Please tell me you knew that, please!
Thanks for the discussion Mr. McQuaid.
I'll say this. No Republican should be threatening a full or partial government shut-down without having the guts to actually do it.
Frankly, I hope it happens. Long-term, it'll be good for the country and we'll get through it just fine.
[As the Republican Party has moved to the right, its policy goals have become simultaneously more extreme and more vague, to the point of incoherence.]
I understand it: Punish US citizens who do not want the Constitution replaced with the Bible for electing that dirty "black".

Oklahoma City —
Easter and the spring season is the time of year when baby poultry, including chicks, ducklings, goslings, and baby turkeys are given as gifts or put on display in stores for children to touch and hold. Unfortunately, these popular springtime pets often carry salmonella, a bacteria that causes diarrheal illness. To avoid the risk of illness, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) urges Oklahomans to use caution in handling baby poultry.
Live baby poultry can carry salmonella and not appear sick, but the bacteria can still spread to people. People are exposed to salmonella by holding, cuddling, or kissing the birds or by touching items where the birds live, such as cages or feed and water bowls. The bacteria can contaminate the hands, shoes, and clothing of those who handle the birds. People are infected with salmonella when they put their hands (or other items that have been contaminated with bird droppings) in or around their mouth, or when they prepare food without first washing their hands. Children are especially at risk of illness since they are less likely to wash their hands and have more frequent hand-to-mouth contact.
Symptoms of salmonella include fever, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps and usually last four to seven days. In persons in poor health or with weakened immune systems, salmonella can invade the bloodstream and cause life-threatening disease.
The OSDH offers the following simple steps when handling baby poultry to protect yourself and others from getting sick:
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water right after touching baby poultry. Use alcohol-based hand sanitizers if soap and water are not readily available. Parents should supervise hand washing for small children.
• Supervise children when handling baby birds.
• Consider giving soft toy animals for Easter gifts as a safer alternative.
• If baby birds are purchased, avoid keeping them in a household with children younger than 5 years of age.

Please take time to take care of yourself so that you can care for your daughter. I am sure that you can find some good tools that will help you cope better.
I hope things will work out for you and please keep us posted on how you are doing.
Take care and good luck.
Divorce is a death and it is can be liberating or frighteneing I am thinking you are have the first experience. Hoping for that.
I have learned that being surrounded with love is a valuable place to be and it is clear oyur daughter will help with that. Otherwise the negative life will eat you up.
It seems this disease can be a crusher on relationships with not understanding and us closing in when in pain....and pain is not a visual thing....just the push away.
I am sorry for the split but I am hopefulfor your future.
Good luck and post anytime! Nancy B
I had postpartum depression with our second child, and that was a very big stressor on our marriage, too. Fortunately, we made it through that. I didn't have fibro at that time.
I believe that you're going to make a great life for yourself and your daughter. You sound like quite a strong woman. I pray that your life will be blessed!
Take care,
I only wish I could get away from him. I had planned to leave him last year but my pain was bad and I was very depressed. I had to stop work, I have debt, no money and no family or friends to turn to. I decided to stay in the end because I have no where to go and no means of supporting myself. When we talked I agreed that I would stay if he would try to be more supportive and understanding (of fibro) Of course, he told me he would. And now here I am, with so much anger towards him. I see a social worker once a week but that's all I have.
Good luck with everything. Your daughter will bring you so much joy. You have that.
About the custody thing-- you might want to thing about you too-- as in-- maybe a little extra time off from childcare would help you deal with all you need to and get rest. Just a thought.
Praying for you.
I think it was surprisingly better when he took them too. They need both of you.
I think I'd be a little concerned too that if Daddy doesn't have a big part right from the start, it will be very hard to change that later.
Such a tough decision, I know. Will keep praying for you.

Midwives and their supporters in New York have occasion to cheer these days. A few nights ago, the legislature approved the Midwifery Modernization Act, which removed requirements for midwives to have written practice agreements with doctors and/or hospitals. Despite opposition from the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [1], the bill now awaits the signature of Governor David Paterson. Let's listen in on a few of the celebrations "¦
Radical Doula [2] reports,
Well, we finally won one! It's incredible and in many ways unexpected, but a bill was introduced by some amazing and fierce activists in New York State called the Midwifery Modernization Act. This act would remove the requirement for a Written Practice Agreement between midwives in New York State and obstetricians, the contract that was keeping many midwives from practicing because doctors and hospitals did not want to sign them.
Thanks to some amazing lobbying on behalf of birth activists and advocates (and an incredible number of phone calls from folks like YOU) the MMA has passed both the NY State Assembly and Senate.
Hopefully within a short time (as long as Governor Patterson signs the bill) this will mean that midwives across New York State can practice without being beholden to the signature of one OB or hospital.
This doesn't mean that the midwives won't be using hospitals to transfer when necessary, but this one signature won't be the determining factor for their practice.
Free Our Midwives [3] thanks the women who love their midwives:
Why did this bill pass during such a difficult time in New York State politics? Because women — and those who love and support them — stood shoulder-to-shoulder with midwives despite formidable opponents, limited resources, and little time to get organized.
Together, women strategized, fundraised, spread the word, and gathered supporters. The result was a truly grassroots effort that was able to stand up to established and powerful opponents. Thanks to your time on the phone, writing e-mails, and sending faxes, legislators were able to learn the truth about the importance of birth choices for women.
Thanks to your efforts, women will continue to have access to midwives in New York. Before this law was passed, many currently practicing midwives were in jeopardy — now they can continue to care for women. In other areas of the state, midwives will now be able to practice, thanks to your hard work. There are women pregnant today who will now receive the high quality prenatal care a midwive can provide, thanks to you.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Tonawanda News — Niagara County Legislator Paul B. Wojtaszek, R-North Tonawanda, announced Tuesday that he's running for state Supreme Court in the Eighth Judicial District.
Wojtaszek, who's already running unopposed for re-election to the 9th District Niagara County Legislature seat, said he's seeking judicial "rating" by various area bar associations and nomination by one or more political parties to be their candidate in the November election to fill the Supreme Court seat vacated earlier this year by Justice Janice M. Rosa.
Last month, Justice Jeremiah J. Moriarty III was appointed in Rosa's place by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, but the appointment is temporary, since Moriarty will reach mandatory retirement age, 70, later this year. Thus the seat is going to election.
Wojtaszek, a law clerk for Erie County Supreme Court Justice Russell Buscaglia, ran for a Supreme Court justice post in 2010. He finished sixth among 10 candidates for five open seats.
A Republican, Wojtaszek said he'll pursue nomination by all political parties at their judicial nominating conventions in September.
If Wojtaszek lands at least one party's nomination, he said he'll have his name taken off the ballot in the 9th District legislature race — which is allowed at this point only if the candidate dies or runs for Supreme Court — and the GOP, Conservative and Independence parties that backed him will authorize a substitute candidate for legislature. The Democratic, Working Families and Green parties did not put up a candidate in the Ninth District.
In addition to Wojtaszek, several attorneys in Erie County, including Jeffrey Marion, Dennis Glascott, Mark Montour and Buffalo City Court Judge/acting Erie County-Family Court Judge E. Jeannette Ogden, reportedly are seeking judicial rating ahead of the conventions.
State Supreme Court justices are elected to 14-year terms.
