text: Frisby is a 2 yr old deaf Border Collie that will be taken in by the Arizona Border Collie Rescue. He is intact and about 40 lbs. The receiving rescue will have him neutered. Very Sweet and Energetic and loves to Cuddle! There are volunteers for the Border Collie Rescue in Phoeix and in Tucson, so he can go to either city He is a healthy boy with health certificate in place, so he's needs to get transfered asap, as his health certificate expires in 10 days. Here is a link to Frisby's photo on Petfinder http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displa ... d=13302073. Would anyone be able to help this deserving boy get to Arizona? Even if the route goes towards Kansas City then Denver first, that may be doable (even though slightly out of the way). Of course, the most direct route would be best. Thanks All for all that you do for these wonderful furkids and helping to give them a second chance at life and love! Lynn email@example.com

Bye, Ivy. Finally. I could have designed some of her stuff and that's not a compliment.
Elie Tahari is my favorite designer but I wait for his stuff to go on sale before I buy it. Meaning a $500-700 dress is a LOT of money for almost everyone, and I wouldn't spend it on any of the dresses I saw tonight. That said, I thought AR's dress was the deserved winner, it actually looks like a Tahari design and will fit in well with the bright, structured look he favors.

General Information
The Muhlenberg College Mailroom is responsible for two main areas of operation: (1) campus mail, which handles incoming and outgoing mail for faculty, staff, and students and (2) standard (bulk) mail. In order to ensure proper handling and disposition of mail, please review the basic procedures noted below or call the mailroom at Extension 3162 with any questions or concerns. Additional information is included throughout this site under more specific headings.
- Each department's entire mailing account number must be included with all outgoing mail.
- Campus mail, domestic mail and international mail must be bundled separately and clearly marked. Also separate and bundle handwritten mail from typewritten mail.
- Outgoing mail in #10 envelopes should be nested and banded together.
- Larger-sized envelopes must be sealed. Clasps must be taped.
- All outgoing mail must face the same direction (not upside down or backwards).
- Mark "SEAL ONLY" on #10 envelopes with postage already affixed. Keep these banded together.
- Campus mail sent in inter-office envelopes should include the recipient's name and department. Cross out previous name or markings so that the name of the intended recipient is clearly identifiable.
- Mail for distribution to students should be submitted with a Student Mail Distribution request (see Mailroom Forms). Mail for specific groups of students must include their box numbers in ascending order. Mail for distribution to all students is not to be labeled.
- Standard (bulk) mail must include the bulk mail permit indicia, either on the envelope or on the mailpiece, and sorted in zip code order. See section on Standard (bulk) mail for more information.
Incoming mail is picked up at the local post office on Postal Road in Allentown each morning, Monday through Saturday. It is delivered to offices and student mailboxes the same day, except for Saturday's mail which is delivered on Monday.
Outgoing mail is picked up by mid-afternoon, Monday through Friday. Mail delivered to the mailroom after 3:00 p.m. will be metered the following business day. Please try to have large mailings at the mailroom as early as possible for same day dispatch. Notify the mailroom if special circumstances arise.
Packages are delivered by Federal Express (Express, Ground, and Home), United Parcel Service (UPS) and the United States Postal Service (USPS) usually by noon each day. Students are required to pick up packages at the Mailroom. (See Package Delivery information under STUDENTS). Packages for faculty and staff are delivered along with regular mail. Each department is responsible for arranging with Plant Operations for the delivery of packages over 50 pounds.
Personal mail may be mailed with outgoing mail provided adequate postage is affixed. In addition to postage, please include a return address.
Delivery Address Format
The delivery address is the most important information on your mail piece and poorly addressed mail (including illegible handwriting) could either be undelivered, misdirected, or delayed. Mail processing machines read addresses from bottom up, beginning with city, state, and zip code, followed by delivery address. Please note the following guidelines for the proper addressing of mail:
- Address fonts should be between 8 and 18 points. However, the USPS recommends a font size between 10-12 points. Addresses in an 8-point type size should be in uppercase to ensure OCR readabiility.
- San serif type styles (those without little tails or curves) with uniform stroke thickness are preferred as embellished styles (italics, script, condensed, etc.), are not OCR readable.
- Left justify each line of the address, in single space, leaving one space between the city and state and two spaces between the state and zip code.
- Avoid placing logos, slogans, or similar information below the delivery address as this could cause mail to be misdirected.
- Use ZIP+4 code, if known. Otherwise, use 5-digit zip code.
If using a window envelope, leave at least 1/8-inch clearance around the address. If using labels, make sure that no important information is cut off and that the labels are not skewed more than five degrees from the bottom edge of the mailpiece. Mail processing machines cannot read the address if there is not enough clearance space or if the address is not applied straight on the mail piece. A sample business address format may be found at http://jobsearchtech.about.com/od/letters/l/bl_envelope.htm. The diagram below shows the basic layout of address placement and readability on letter-size mail pieces.
Basic Layout for Address Placement and Readability
(Source: http://pe.usps.gov/text/qsg300/Q602.htm)
- 1. Dark-shaded area indicates free space for non-address printing.
- 2. Light-shaded area indicates preferred clear zone to enhance readability.
International Addresses
See https://www.usps.com/ship/international-address-tips.htm for information on formatting international addresses.
Military Addresses
See http://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/pub28c2_010.html for information on formatting military addresses.
In addition to mail collection and distribution, the Mailroom provides a variety of services including:
- Federal Express
- Media Mail
- Parcel Post
- Sale of Stamps
- Standard (Bulk) Mail (See section on Standard (Bulk) Mail)
- United Parcel Service (UPS)
- United States Postal Services (USPS)
- Certified Mail
- Express Mail
- First Class Mail
- International Mail
- Priority Mail
- Return Receipt
Contact the Mailroom for additional information or visit www.usps.gov.
Lost and Found
The Lost and Found Department is located at the Information Desk in Seegers Union. Any books, articles, etc., that are accidently left in the mailroom are forwarded to the Lost and Found Department.
Check List
Did you remember to...
- Complete and include any required forms with your job?
- Ensure that all envelopes are addressed?
- Ensure that all envelopes have something in them?

Monday 03 December 2012
Ten Barclays Premier League players have been included in UEFA.com users' Team of the Year poll, for which voting began on Monday.
The poll, now in its 12th year, gives UEFA.com users the chance to pick a team of players from European clubs who have impressed in 2012, and one quarter of the 40 players shortlisted hail from the Premier League.
Chelsea boast the most players from the English top flight with Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, Branislav Ivanovic, Eden Hazard and Juan Mata constituting half of the Premier League's contingent.
Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City are not far behind, however, with Vincent Kompany, David Silva, Yaya Toure and Sergio Aguero recognised for their title-winning achievements of last season. Manchester United's Robin van Persie, who is the Premier League's joint-top goalscorer this season with 10 goals, also features.
Voting will run until 11am on Friday 4 January, before the final line-up is announced on Wednesday 16 January.
More than five million voted for last season's team. Those wishing to do so this year can go to www.en.toty.uefa.com to cast their vote.

The Valdosta Daily Times
Being named the teacher of the year for your school is a proud accomplishment for any teacher. Being named the system wide teacher of the year is an even bigger accomplishment. That honor was recently bestowed upon Billie Ann Page, a teacher at Sallas Mahone Elementary School.
During the annual teacher of the year banquet, Page was chosen from a group of nine teachers of the year to go on to represent Valdosta City School's at the state level as system wide teacher of the year.
Unlike many teachers, Page did not aspire to be a teacher when she grew up. She had always loved to learn, but believed that she wanted to be a journalist. It wasn't until her son Dalton was born that her love for learning was reignited.
"It was after having my son that I began remembering how I fell in love with learning as a young child, and I wanted the same for him. As my son's first teacher, I realized my calling in life... seeing the light go off and seeing him learning something new was amazing. I have a passion for teaching my students to do what they thought they couldn't," said Page.
Page attended college at Valdosta State University. She received her undergraduate degree in early childhood education in 1995 and her Masters in Accomplished Teaching in 2010. She also received her reading endorsement from Georgia State University.
In 1995, Page began teaching at Sallas Mahone Elementary. From 1995 to 2005, she taught first grade, all subjects. From 2005 to 2010, she taught reading recovery and one on one and small group reading instruction, then from 2010-2012 she taught third grade, all subjects. Last year, Page was an intervention specialist for first, second and third graders, helping them in reading and math.
Currently, Page is an intervention specialist for first and second graders in reading and writing and she also works with the school speech pathologist in managing the school's student support team program. As an intervention specialist, Page works with first and second grade students needing additional support in reading and writing.
After 19 years of teaching, many teachers could get worn out or not be as excited for school each day. This is not the case for Page.
"I stay driven because of the students I teach. When they need you, it drives you to keep going. That's why I am here. That's why all teachers should be here."
She also credits her continued drive to the great people that she works with.
"I am thankful everyday for my job. Valdosta is a great system and Sallas Mahone is a great school. The teachers, parents and children here are awesome. When you are around people that challenge you, you're going to improve, and that happens a lot here," said Page.
"I have been asked why I work so hard and where I get my energy to do it. For me, teaching is not a job but instead a calling in which I get as much as I give. Student enthusiasm and growth in learning are the fuel that keeps me going and inspires me. Basically, I need my students as much as they need me," Page wrote in her teacher of the year application.
This is not Page's first time receiving the teacher of the year title. She was also named teacher of the year for Sallas Mahone for 2002-2003. In the 11 years since she was last honored, she has not lost her desire to see her students succeed.
"My favorite part of teaching is teaching kids to read, especially those who need additional support with reading. To see a student when they get to the point they can read more easily, there is nothing like that," said Page. "The hardest part is wanting to do more than you can. They leave to go home or leave for summer vacation and they are still on your mind. You truly feel connected to them and it is hard to let go."
As the system wide teacher of the year, Page will go on to represent Valdosta City Schools at the state level and will also be in the running for the state teacher of the year.
"I am so honored. I'll do my best, just like I did for the teacher of the year application. I am so proud to represent this system. There are so many awesome teachers that deserve this," she said.
"My greatest accomplishments lie in the everyday moments I get to live with my students. My goal of teaching is to inspire students to be life-long learners. I facilitate independent thinking and problem solving while building on and valuing the unique strengths, interests, and personalities of my students," said Page in her application.
After being named the system wide teacher of the year, Page was thrilled.
She said, "I hardly slept the night of the banquet. I am still on a cloud and haven't really grasped it yet. I feel like there is a reason and a purpose why I'm here and that God put me right where I needed to be. I am so honored and everyone has been so nice. Someone came up to me earlier and asked how I felt, and I didn't know what to say. I just said, 'I am just doing my job.'"
Page and her husband, Mike Page, have two children, Dalton, 23, and Madison, 15.

Garrett Gilbert and Paden Kelley won't be the only former Lake Travis Cavaliers re-uniting on the Texas campus in the fall. Gilbert's long-time friend and favorite target, receiver Cade McCrary, will be an invited and preferred walk-on at Texas. McCrary, of course, has connections to Texas football, as he played an important role in introducing Gilbert to the Longhorns through his father, Hardee, the former defensive ends coach and recruiting coordinator for Texas. My take: While McCrary is an excellent high school receiver, with more than 1,700 yards and 24 touchdowns last season, I would classify him as a product of the two systems in which he played and his close connection with one of the top quarterbacks in the country. Considering the incredible receiving depth in the state and the depth on the team or committed to play for the Longhorns, I just don't see McCrary seeing the field for the Longhorns unless the coaches really strike out on several evaluations.

And hi. I'm Gizmo, Patch's (3.7 pound) blogging doglet. Now listen, I hope you are all recovered from that big storm we had! My thoughts are with all of you who are still feeling the effects from Hurricane Sandy. I was fortunate to be able to go to the storm shelter at VCMS again this year, and spend time there as a therapy dog helping people who were frowning smile again, at least for a moment. It's times like these that give us pause to look around and reach out to those who are less fortunate, right? I saw a lot of that this past week! One fren was without power for almost 24 hours when she found a generator on her front step. Someone who didn't need it anymore set it there. Another fren is an elderly woman who lives alone, and her yard was a mess! Her family had arranged to come the next day to clean up the branches and leaves for her. When they pulled into the driveway, the yard was pristine – not a twig on the ground. Some neighborhood elves had taken it upon themselves to do the clean up! It was so exsillent to see all the helping hands, not only from the Red Cross and other organizations, but from the community. So, what's my challenge? Keep
Speaking of helping the community, did you know the Manchester High School Senior Class had a food drive for our frens at MACC last Friday? It was Senior Night at the soccer game (which we won!), and instead of spending time with each other just hanging out, they decided to do something really good to help our community! Can you believe it? In fact, there are so many great things happening at MHS now! It is a very exciting time of positive change. Oh and did I tell you? MHS adopted me! And I am the new Staff Reporter for their new
exsillent website, www.MHSRedline.com ! The website is already in the top high school websites in the state, and they are going for number 1 in the nation. I hope you can come to some MHS events this year. I might see you there! Still don't know what my challenge is? Almost there!
And now it's time for GIZMO'S CHALLENGE: Did you know you don't have to wait for a food drive to donate nonperishable items to the Manchester Area Conference of Churches Food Pantry? My frens there at 460 Main Street told me they are open Mon. and Wed. 1-5, Tues. and Thurs. 8:30-noon, and Fridays 8:30-6:30. Or you can even call 860-647-0440 to arrange a time to drop off food. In fact, I am going to set my paws out on a limb here and challenge all of you who read this! That's right, ALL of you. Don't live in Manchester? Then find a food pantry near you and drop off some food this month! You can buy some extra canned goods, or just find what you're not using in the back of your cupboard. Bag it up and take it on over. Tell them Gizmo Patch's famous blogging doglet sent you! Then post in the comments section that you met the challenge. Let's see how many of you can do it. I bet a lot of you can and will! Cuz we're frens!
I have one last bit of exsillent news. Patch reader Jenna Rodriguez commented on one of my blogs about a canine rescue in Simsbury called Boot n Kit. You can visit them on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/messages/#!/bootnkit?fref=ts They are a nonprofit, all volunteer, no-kill facility. I am so happy Jenna told me about them, because now I get to raise awareness and funds for them through my nonprofit, Gizmo's Frens, Inc., on Saturday, November 3 from 11 – 2 at the Wethersfield Pet Supplies Plus. I hope to see some of you there!
Hey listen! Did you do my challenge and bring some food to the food pantry? Or do you know of an exsillent rescue group? Or have you seen some of the great things happening this year at MHS or in the community? Leave a comment! I love hearing from my frens!
Sined, The Gizmo.

The threat of snow in Friday's forecast has prompted Charlottesville High School to reschedule its boys' varsity basketball game against Western Albemarle.
That game will now be played at approximately 7:30 p.m. Thursday, depending on when the JV game ends. Those games had originally been scheduled for Friday.
The Western and CHS girls will still meet in Crozet on Thursday night, as originally scheduled.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the other high school basketball games scheduled for Friday have not been rescheduled.

text: He didn't ask my opinion, but I think Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, should have declined an invitation to deliver the closing prayer at next week's Republican National Convention. I say that knowing that Dolan also was willing, if asked, to pray at the Democratic convention and that (to some considerable flak from conservative Roman Catholics) the cardinal has invited the president as well as Mitt Romney to address the famous Al Smith Dinner in October. That's the charity event at which, in 1960, John F. Kennedy famously bested Richard M. Nixon

Don't mind me. I listen to records like drinking a fine wine ... slow, methodical, and savoring multiple plays in order to experience the entire album. Many times, it takes the third spin when the music finally comes together and my soul is touched with its brilliance. A beautiful bridge, solo, lyric or fill comes to the forefront of my consciousness that maybe I missed previously. The radio single which initially grabs your attention opens the door to the slow burner that really seals the deal to make you fall in love with the artist's entire performance etched into vinyl or burned onto a compact disc. As my next chapter of liner notes is about to unfold, know that there is a reason for my madness. Although Cleveland is not part of the itinerary, this week I will touch on two new releases from three legendary performers that are touring the country together.
Richard Thompson has released a phenomenal album titled Electric that will have old fans buzzing and new fans discovering this legendary singer/guitar slinger. I was lucky to have a seat at the intimate Station Inn during one of the Americana Music Association showcases last fall where Thompson mesmerized the crowd with a solo performance of old and newly recorded songs. In the audience was the great Buddy Miller and it was very peculiar that he was not there to play, but to be a spectator. Little did we know that Miller was not only going to produce Thompson's new record, but that it was being recorded at Buddy's home studio in Nashville.
A little power trio was formed with longtime touring drummer Michael Jerome and session veteran Taras Prodaniuk on bass and mandocello. Electric is packed with several catchy radio singles that ranks right up there with his vintage 2007 record Sweet Warrior. From the opening rocking track "Stoney Ground", many of the eleven tracks will end up in your smartphone's personal jukebox. But Thompson mixes things up well as the album flows through folk songs like "Salford Sunday" and "Saving The Good Stuff For You" with female vocal harmonies provided by Siobham Maher Kennedy and fiddle provided by Stuart Duncan on the later track. A gritty blues number "Sally B" along with the jangly guitar driving "Good Things Happen To You" is mixed with ballads "My Enemy" and "The Snow Goose" which includes the lovely voice of Allison Krauss. Two of the highlights come from the big ballad "Another Small Thing In Her Favour" which includes a nice soft electric solo and "Straight and Narrow" with a little Farfisa sounding organ thrown in for good measure. Along with Dennis Crouch playing bass, Buddy Miller adds rhythm guitar to tracks on the New West Records label.
So if Thompson is the opener, who would be able to follow that on stage, you may ask? Well, it took about thirty-eight years for Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell to record a duet album, so this special pairing is the unique highlight receiving top billing. Again, longtime witnesses of this man and woman will not be disappointed as Old Yellow Moon incorporates something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue. The record was produced by Brian Ahern who was behind the boards of both Emmylou's 1975 Pieces of the Sky and Crowell's 1978 Ain't Living Long Like This debut albums. Crowell started his career being the rhythm guitarist and vocal partner to Harris in what was known as the legendary Hot Band which included James Burton (lead guitar), Glen Hardin (piano), John Ware (drums), Hank DeVito (pedal steel), and Emory Gordy Jr. (bass). Although the band reunites, with the exception of DeVito, to play on a select number of the record's twelve tracks, most of the backing band consists of Billy Payne (keyboards), Marco Giovani (drums), Dave Hungate (bass), and Ahern on guitar.

seen Rodney in Paris, way back, long time ago ; so glad I bought my ticket for the Berlin show on may 3o, Admiralspalast; brilliant venue, seating a thousand, perfect surrounding - never expected !
Thank you very much ... appreciate your comments. Very humbled from the responses here and on FB.
Thanks for the article Jay! I'm a huge Emmylou and Rodney guy since pretty much the beginning of their careers. I first saw the original Hot Band in the '70s when I was about 20. I have seen Rodney and Emmy many times since. A pretty cool show in San Francisco at Great American Music Hall a couple years back was Rodney solo, interspersing readings from his book "Chinaberry Sidewalks" in between tunes. The only NorCal stop on their upcoming tour is at Greek Theater in Berkeley, not one of my favorite places as I've gotten older though I enjoyed seeing the Dead and others there in the olden days. This will be a general admission, $45 plus the dreaded "convenience fee," and it means to get up fairly close one would have to camp out in line way in advance of the gates opening, and my wife informed me that isn't going to happen. This time I agree with her. But that's not the part that really bothers me. There will be no Richard Thompson on this leg of the tour, and Emmy & Rodney are "special guests" - concert industry parlance for "opener." Who are they opening for? She & Him. M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel. Now don't get me wrong - I think M.Ward is okay - I saw him as the solo "special guest " of Alison Krauss & Union Station at UC Davis in 2011. And aside from being cute as all get out, I do like some of Zooey's music. But She & Him as headliners over Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell? Please. Decision makers in this one should be ashamed of themselves. So unless more NorCal dates are added where it's Emmy & Rodney at the top of the bill I guess I'll have to be content with the new CD. The odds would seem good that they'll appear together at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in San Francisco in October, maybe that's when I'll get to see them together since I go every year.
Thanks Mark ... I can see how they are trying to position Emmylou & Rodney to a younger audience, but you are right that they deserve a little more honor and respect. I'm sure you saw a few old blues players as openers for young bands way back when. I've seen all three performers ... Emmylou with Spyboy band, Elvis Costello duet tour, and the many guitar pull shows she has been part of. Yes, I'm with you on seeing shows that are more intimate as I prefer 700 and under venues be it standing or sitting in the CLE/AKRON/KENT area. Unfortunately, some tours like this one won't pass through here or be within driving distance on a weekend date.
Mark, I'll copy your entrance here and mail it to some friends, if you don't mind;
Tommie, I don't mind a bit.
Jay, I see your point about positioning and yeah, back in the day at venues like Winterland I saw some older blues guys as openers for what were hot current rock bands. In the case of blues guys it was little different because they might never had been previously part of a twenty something's consciousness because the suburban white young folks they got their blues from Clapton and the Allman Brothers, and the black blues guys glory years centered around say Chicago were well behind them. This is different - Emmylou in particular is still top-of-the-bill material, it isn't like Jeff Bridges as the Bad Blake character in Crazy Heart, getting out there as the opener for the hot young country guy because his star has faded. I mentioned Hardly Strictly Bluegrass earlier. Emmylou always closes the festival on Sunday evening in front of a crowd that I would estimate at ballpark 30,000 many of which are hanging on her every word. Aside from the honor and respect aspect for Emmy and Rodney, and even taking into account the positioning thing to a younger audience it just seems like a weird business decision having them open for She & Him - kind of a head scratcher.
Rodney & Emmylou are the opening act for a ???. That's what I call "SACRILEGIOUS". To be followed next year by some d.j. with dual turn-tables a mixin' their tunes to his hip-hop fantasies.
O.K. Jay I just had to get that out of my system. I've seen Rodney a couple of times in the last 5 years and there would have been a third (if he hadn't gotten sick and had too cancel) at The Ark (sits around 300). He had Chip Taylor & Carrie Rodriguez open for him on one show and Paul Thorn the other so I get the idea about opening acts. We both know that Rodney and Emmylou are both by themselves music icons who could easily carry a show by themselves just "Look At" their body of work. So I guess you could say that seniority yet alone musical creativity and last but not least their being two of the pillars of Americana, Country, Alt. Country, Country Rock or whatever you want to call it (how about Damn Great Music).
I realize times change and you've got new young artist's hittin' radio playlists harder but it's hard to read something like this and feel that two of the icons of the music you love and care for are not getting the Respect they deserve!!!!!!!!
To be fair Joseph, on many of the tour stops on the itinerary so far, Rodney & Emmy are indeed the headliners with Richard Thompson as the opener. for some reason Richard isn't on the west coast dates, and Rodney & Emmy play second fiddle to She & Him. I can definitely envision Richard joining them on a few tunes and perhaps the vice versa in those tour stops. When Emmy is at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass she gets around a lot over the course of the weekend to sit in with different folks at the various stages, you can always count on her to show up for part of Buddy Miller's set. I saw Bob Dylan with "special guest " Mark Knopfler & Band at this same Greek Theater in Bezerkeley last October. I'm a huge fan of both, and I even enjoyed old Bob and his croaky voice with the bizarre delivery to where it took you like 30 seconds to recognize "Ballad of A Thin Man." It was a little weird seeing Mark K. as an opener since I've seen him as a headliner a bunch of time with his solo band and going back to the Dire Straits days. He said in an interview that he was okay with opening for Dylan because well - he's Bob Effing Dylan!

The Act's only purpose is to make it more difficult for women to obtain and pay for abortion care. Indeed, it is akin to imposing an additional tax on the procedure. Moreover, because the Act serves no legitimate state interest, it fails even rational basis review. And, by prohibiting women from purchasing insurance that covers all of their health care needs while placing no similar restriction on men, it impermissibly discriminates based on sex.
Kansas has also recently imposed several other abortion restrictions. Last week, the state filed an appeal seeking to overturn a federal judge's ruling [JURIST reports] that blocks a law [HB 2014 materials] preventing Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri (PPKM) [advocacy website] from receiving federal funding. Last month, a judge for the US District Court for the District of Kansas [official website] issued a preliminary injunction [JURIST report] to block a regulation [SB 36 materials] requiring clinics within the state to obtain a license to perform abortions. In April, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (R) [official website] signed two pieces of legislation [JURIST report] restricting abortions in the state. The Abortion Reporting Accuracy and Parental Rights Act [HB 2035, PDF] requires unemancipated minors to obtain notarized parental signatures before an abortion may be performed, and the "fetal pain bill" [HB 2218, PDF] restricts abortions beyond 22 weeks of pregnancy based on the belief that a fetus can feel pain at that stage of gestation.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Reserve Kyle Wiltjer scored a personal-best 24 points and a trio of freshmen sparked No. 3 Kentucky's 17-2 second-half run to beat Loyola (Md.) 87-63 on Thursday for the Wildcats' 42nd straight win at home.
Freshmen Wiltjer, Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist all had afternoons to remember as Kentucky (11-1) heads into a five-day break before the schedule begins to ramp up.
Baltimore-based Loyola (8-3) stayed close throughout the first half and pestered Kentucky, which was missing preseason All-America Terrence Jones for the second straight game after he dislocated the pinky finger on his left, shooting hand on Saturday.
Erik Etherly scored 14 points, Dylon Cormier 13 and Justin Drummond 10 for the Greyhounds.

If only America would pay attention
Just because it crossed my mind today....
We the People... This statement has been undermined since it's inception. Over years and years We the People have become complacent with our lives and with our government. What he says is true. Our government will continue to do what they are doing and worse, until We the People do something about it. However, along with "greedy bankrupt corporations" a vast majority of We the People have grown greedy as well. We the People have grown lazy. Why work when there is free tax money to give away? And give it away they do. On top of that how do you fight 11 million illegal voters? It is not only a shame that we have completely ignored our boarders we have allowed the border jumpers to vote! Just between political parties, disinterested and or confused Americans, illegal voting, and career politicians we are a doomed nation. What is even worse is that when someone does try and stand up to limit the governmental power the legislation is ignored, shot down or buried in some committee. I don't know what the answer is but I can say with a great deal of certainty that what is going on now and what will come is not it. Wake up America before it is too late. Your government is NOT on your side. Your government is self serving with your money. When the bad time comes they have concrete bunkers for themselves. We the People will be searching for caves.
Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me

Weatherford Democrat
— By CHRISTIN COYNE
A man posing as a U.S. marshal in an attempt to retrieve his vehicle, impounded during a DWI investigation, was arrested after reportedly making the claim to a real U.S. marshal.
According to information from the Parker County Sheriff's Office, a Parker County sheriff's deputy responded to the location of a towing company in the 1500 block of Ranger Highway on Jan. 18 and met 67-year-old Victor Barry Caster, who arrived at the location by taxi.
Weatherford police reported that Caster had identified himself as a U.S. marshal to an employee of a towing company while attempting to get possession of his vehicle, which had been impounded by a Texas Highway Patrol trooper on a possible DWI arrest. The towing company employees had also observed several firearms in the vehicle.
After identifying himself as a deputy, the responding law enforcement officer told Caster that it had been reported that Caster was identifying himself as a U.S. marshal with a badge, according to the officer's statement.
Caster reportedly told the deputy that he had retired as a U.S. Marshal in Washington, D.C., and handed him a badge located in a badge case that he had been wearing in his pocket.
The badge appeared to belong to the U.S. Marshals Service, the deputy wrote.
However, the case did not contain any identification cards identifying Caster, and Caster told the deputy that he had left them at home, according to the deputy's account.
The deputy – who is also commissioned by the U.S. Marshals Service, according to Parker County Deputy Danie Huffman – then made a call to the U.S. Marshals Office in Fort Worth.
While he was on the phone, a Weatherford police officer informed the deputy that Caster had admitted to lying about being a retired U.S. marshal, according to the probable cause affidavit.
Caster was arrested that afternoon and charged with impersonation of a public servant, a third-degree felony. He was released Monday on $10,000 bond.
Online resumés for Caster state that he has worked for more than 35 years as an information technology professional.
The Democrat left a message for Caster on his listed cell phone number but was unable to reach him Friday.

As with any federal agency, a career at the EPA is sprinkled with its fair share of politics. Some politicians call for EPA reform, others are happy to slash the budget. And others want to get rid of the EPA altogether. Not every scientist is comfortable under the political spotlight and facing potential scrutiny. Not everyone likes to know that someone is peeking over their shoulder as they work, especially if that person is a skeptical Congressman who is looking for an excuse to get on the EPA's case.

Earth Summit
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Rio Summit, Rio Conference, and Earth Summit (Portuguese: ECO92 [ˈɛku no̞ˈvẽtɐ j ˈdojʃ]), was a major United Nations conference held in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to 14 June 1992.
In 2012, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development was also held in Rio, and is also commonly called Rio+20 or Rio Earth Summit 2012. It was held from 20 to 22 June.
172 governments participated, with 116 sending their heads of state or government.[1] Some 2,400 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) attended, with 17,000 people at the parallel NGO "Global Forum" (also called Forum Global), who had Consultative Status.
The issues addressed included:
- systematic scrutiny of patterns of production — particularly the production of toxic components, such as lead in gasoline, or poisonous waste including radioactive chemicals
- alternative sources of energy to replace the use of fossil fuels which are linked to global climate change
- new reliance on public transportation systems in order to reduce vehicle emissions, congestion in cities and the health problems caused by polluted air and smoke
- the growing scarcity of water
An important achievement was an agreement on the Climate Change Convention which in turn led to the Kyoto Protocol. Another agreement was to "not carry out any activities on the lands of indigenous peoples that would cause environmental degradation or that would be culturally inappropriate".
The Convention on Biological Diversity was opened for signature at the Earth Summit, and made a start towards redefinition of measures that did not inherently encourage destruction of natural ecoregions and so-called uneconomic growth.
Twelve cities were also honoured by the Local Government Honours Award for innovative local environmental programs. These included Sudbury in Canada for its ambitious program to rehabilitate environmental damage from the local mining industry, Austin in the United States for its green building strategy, and Kitakyūshū in Japan for incorporating an international education and training component into its municipal pollution control program.
The Earth Summit resulted in the following documents:
Moreover, important legally binding agreements were opened for signature:
- Convention on Biological Diversity[5]
- Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
- United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
Critics, however, point out that many of the agreements made in Rio have not been realized regarding such fundamental issues as fighting poverty and cleaning up the environment.
Green Cross International was founded to build upon the work of the Summit.

dual boot with suse n rehhat
Hi all,
I goal is to install suse 10 and RHEL 5 on different LUNs, and in the bootloader i need to get option to switch.I have installed SUSE in LUN 0 successfully completed the installation it came up.For the second OS ie.RHEL i changed the boot sequnce in BIOS to LUN 1 and installed (with out boot loader) succesfully....I went to /boot/grub/menu.lst and added the the new OS to the grub like
title suse
kernal Path
initr path
But when i select SUSE in grub it is showing grub loaderror.
Can anyone tell me what are all the configuration changes i should make to achive my goal..
You Should be Close
This is a bit confusing, you installed SuSE and it boots, then you installed RedHat and it doesn't boot, yet the grub entries you're trying to "fix" refer to SuSE... I'll assume that that's a typo and it's actually RedHat that won't boot from the second drive.
The most likely problem is that you have the "root" entry incorrect, you're probably specifying the wrong drive.
Boot into SuSE and run:
$ grub --device-map=test.map grub> quit $ cat test.map (fd0) /dev/fd0 (hd0) /dev/sda (hd1) /dev/sdb
Use the map that grub creates to verify that the drive you've specified in your "root" entry corresponds to the drive that contains RedHat.
If that doesn't help post your menu.lst file here and also your /boot/grub/device.map file.
Also note that you probably made this more complicated than it needed to be, most modern Linux installers will allow you to install on a second drive and will correctly fix/install the boot loader so that everything works. At least in theory.

dual boot with suse n rehhat
I have checked the test.map file it is fine.and the output of /boot/grub/device.map is
(hd0) /dev/sda
(hd1) /dev/sdb
can u please tell me what are all the configuration changes should be made for SAN boot with single boot loader right from the installation of suse and RHEL.I am new to linux.During installation i have made only the changes like RHEL with bootloader at /dev/sda and SUSE with boot from root partition.Is it correct? If not can u guide me to do this..........
I am able to install windows in LUN 2 and i am able to boot from it....Then y is it not possible for SUSE..?Please guide me....
thanks in advance........
More Info
Post a copy of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and also a listing of the partitions that you have on the two drives. You can get a list of the partitions via:
$ fdisk /dev/sda ... Command (m for help): p ... Command (m for help): q
Then do the same for /dev/sdb.
Also, explain to me how you're getting Windows to boot from the second drive? Is it booting via grub or ...?

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.

|Laliberte Tabbed CAA Swimmer-of-the-Week
WILMINGTON, North Carolina – UNCW sophomore Jeff Laliberte was named Colonial Athletic Association swimmer-of-the-week after a pair of standout performances at the Virginia Tech Invitational last weekend.
Laliberte is the second UNCW swimmer to earn the award, joining junior standout Valtteri Halonen, who has been honored on five different occasions.
Laliberte won the 200 Butterfly with a time of 1:50.64, the fastest in the CAA this season and sixth fastest in UNCW history. He later finished second in the 100 Fly, touching the wall in a time of 50.12 seconds. That time was a career best for the North Providence, R.I., native.
The Seahawks continue their preparations for the conference championship, which will be held in College Park, Md., Feb. 26-Mar. 1.

By JIM AUSTIN and GREG KLEIN, The Cooperstown Crier
Cooperstown Crier
---- — It appears for the second year in a row, the village will have uncontested races for three seats on the board of trustees in the annual March election.
During party caucuses Monday night, the Democrats nominated a full field of three candidates for the positions, but the Republicans were only able to cross-endorse Bruce Maxson, who will also appear as a Democratic candidate.
"We approached people, and we let it be known we were looking for people," Republican caucus chairman Mike Trosset said. "The feedback I received was that because it has been so contentious lately, and this is such a small town, people were not interested in running."
Last year, the Republicans didn't nominate any candidates.
Maxson, 56, is a part-time public defender in the Otsego County Family Court division and has a private law practice. He is president of the Cooperstown Fire Department and was endorsed by all five of the Republican at the caucus. He is registered as an independent.
"He has excellent character," said Republican Glenn Falk, who works with Maxson at the fire department and is the husband of trustee Cynthia Falk, who is not up for election this year. "I think he would be an awesome trustee, and I think he would do a great job for the village."
The Republican caucus also heard from Lou Allstadt, a resident of 18 Main St. Allstadt, also an independent, was nominated by the Democratic caucus to run for an unexpired one-year term.
Although several members of the Republican caucus were willing to endorse Allstadt, he was not nominated by the caucus, which had already closed by the time he and Maxson arrived. Several Republicans said they would be open to nominating Allstadt in the future.
"I have only spoken to people about doing what we did during the caucus," Trosset said. "I am not comfortable doing something I was not authorized to do."
"I believe you earn the right to serve through your actions before you run," Republican and former state Assemblyman Anthony Casale said. "Being president of Friends of 22 Main St., Lou has certainly shown that he is willing to serve the village. He will do a great job and I certainly endorse him."
Allstadt, 69, was an executive for Mobile Oil in the 1990s. He is a graduate of the Merchant Marine Academy and served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. He has a Master of Business Administration degree from Columbia and is well-known in the area as an outspoken opponent of high-volume hydrofracking.
He said that he only recently decided to accept a nomination to run for the position, and would have liked to approach the Republican committee earlier for a cross-nomination.
Following his nomination by the more than two dozen Democrats at the caucus, Allstadt said that while working on the 22 Main St. committee he had witnessed what at times was "a somewhat non-functional board," but has seen progress in the last two years. He said he is in tune with the current board and the direction in which it is moving.
Maxson said that what tipped the scale in his decision to seek a three-year term on the board was that he was likely to be cross-endorsed by the Republicans. He said he has been an independent and will remain so.
The Democratic caucus also nominated Cooperstown and Otsego County Democratic chairman Richard Abbate to run for the second three-year term on the board.
Before his nomination, Abbate said he had believed there was a third candidate for the board, but that person had decided not to seek election.
"There is no one here that accepted. I would love to run with a full ticket," he said.
He was then nominated by Mayor Jeff Katz and endorsed by the Democrats.
Abbate, 53, said after the caucus he believed he still had 72 hours to find another candidate to fill the spot on the ballot, but if no one else accepts, he will run. Abbate ran unsuccessfully for the board in 2009.
He is retired and a resident of Westridge Road. He was an environmental protection investigator in New York City, a former business owner and was a Democratic state committeeman for 10 years.
"I think I can be an asset on the board," he said.
The annual village election will be held on Tuesday, March 19.

Washington (CNN) - If a rematch of the 2012 presidential election were held today, GOP nominee Mitt Romney would top President Barack Obama in the popular vote, according to a new national survey.
But a CNN/ORC International poll also indicates that if Romney changes his mind and runs again for the White House, Hillary Clinton would best him by double digits in a hypothetical showdown.
Washington (CNN) – They came ready, aimed and fired – calmly.
On Saturday, the first U.S. Senate debate between incumbent Democratic Sen. Mark Warner and Republican nominee Ed Gillespie was marked by zings - but also political politesse.
During civil exchanges across 90-minutes stood two Virginians pushing different ideas but also outsize caricatures of the other.
On one side: Gillespie's branding of Warner as a political lapdog for President Barack Obama who's responsible for job-killing policies and who promised to be independent – but is not. On the other side: Warner's attacks against Gillespie's resume that includes lobbying and stints in Republican Party partisan posts.
Washington (CNN) – After intense fighting among warring militias forced the evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Libya, one top House Republican criticized the Obama administration's overall policy towards the North African nation.
"I think having removed [Moammar] Gadhafi, the administration sort of took its focus off of Libya and things have been getting worse for quite some considerable time now," Rep. Ed Royce said Saturday in a CNN interview.
(CNN) – It was a mad dash to hug Hillary Clinton.
Toward the end of an event Friday at the Bronx Children's Museum, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor set dozens of kids upon the former secretary of state, urging them to hug her and other leaders who attended.
Updated 10:55 a.m. ET, 7/28/2014
(CNN) – Rep. Curt Clawson, a congressman for all of one month, made an embarrassing mistake this week when he confused two Obama administration officials with representatives from India.
At a Thursday hearing of the House Foreign Affairs subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific, Clawson talked how much he admired the witnesses' country.
CNN's POLITICAL GUT CHECK | for July 25, 2014 | 5 p.m.
— n. a pause to assess the state, progress or condition of the political news cycle
ISRAEL REJECTS PROPOSED CEASE-FIRE ... Israel's security cabinet unanimously rejected a proposed one-week humanitarian cease-fire with Hamas. The United States and Egypt were moving closer to an agreement with Israel and the Palestinians on a temporary truce, starting Sunday, but Israel turned it down and asked for modifications. – Elise Labott
KERRY: NEVER BEEN A FORMAL TRUCE PROPOSED … Secretary of State John Kerry said no formal truce proposal has been submitted yet, just a framework. Kerry called leaks that Israel rejected the proposal "mischief."
Washington (CNN) – Dan Pfeiffer, a longtime aide and senior adviser to President Barack Obama, told reporters Friday that recent talk of impeaching the President should not be considered a long shot.
"I would not discount that possibility," Pfeiffer said, pointing out that a CNN/ORC International poll released Friday indicated that a third of Americans think Obama should be impeached.
Washington (CNN) – There's not a lot of public appetite for a Republican push to sue President Barack Obama, or for calls by some conservatives to impeach him, according to a new national survey.
A CNN/ORC International poll released Friday morning also indicates that a small majority of Americans do not believe that Obama has gone too far in expanding the powers of the presidency.
(CNN) – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday there's far too many people sitting in prisons for non-violent drug crimes and called on Republicans to focus on people not just before they're born but after as well.
"I'm pro-life and if you're pro-life you have to be pro-life when they get out of the womb also," Christie said in an appearance at the Aspen Institute in Colorado, similar to comments he made last month at a major social conservative gathering in the nation's capital.
(CNN) — First lady Michelle Obama jumped into the White House fundraising spree on Thursday, prodding supporters in Chicago to hand over the maximum campaign contribution in an attempt to shore up Democrats' chances in upcoming midterm elections.
Her entreaty came as her husband, President Barack Obama, capped a three-day fundraising swing on the West Coast, bringing in millions of dollars for the committees charged with electing Democrats to office.
"We need you to write the biggest, fattest check that you can possibly write," Mrs. Obama told a crowd of donors in Chicago, her hometown. "Writing those checks is the single-most impactful thing that you can do right now."

Gatland takes to the road in hunt for Lions
ESPN Staff
April 2, 2013
Warren Gatland will take in five European matches this weekend © Getty Images
Warren Gatland will step up his search for the final pieces in the British & Irish Lions jigsaw when he takes in five European matches this weekend.
Gatland is set to unveil his squad for the summer tour to Australia at the end of April. He recently said that there are roughly a third of the squad's places still up for grabs and this weekend's quarter-final matches in both the Amlin Challenge Cup and the Heineken Cup could go some way to deciding who gets the call-up for Lions duty and who misses out.
The New Zealander will start off his schedule by taking in Gloucester's quarter-final against Biarritz on Thursday evening at Kingsholm. Their No.8 Ben Morgan has been injured recently but could make his long-awaited return to the field against the Top 14 side. Gatland may also be keeping an eye on England backs Freddie Burns and Billy Twelvetrees as well as Scotland second-row Jim Hamilton.
On Friday, Gatland journeys to Adams Park to watch Wasps' match against Leinster where the likes of Sean O'Brien, Jamie Heaslip, Christian Wade, James Haskell could feature. One man who looks set to miss out is Leinster's Jonathan Sexton with the province claiming he is "unlikely" to recover from an ankle injury in time to play Wasps.
After seeing Wasps' match, Gatland will go to the Recreation Ground on Saturday to watch Bath versus Stade Francais, with Wales prop Paul James likely to be at the centre of his attention, before then journeying to Twickenham to watch Saracens' Heineken Cup quater-final against Ulster.
There will be a host of players on show at HQ for Gatland to cast his eye across and this will also be the case at the Stoop on Sunday when he watches Harlequins' match against Munster. Quins skipper Chris Robshaw has been mooted as a possible tour captain and is likely to start against the Irish province while the 2009 Lions skipper Paul O'Connell could also feature as he looks to further his claims for a spot in the squad after a season blighted by injury.

THE DYFED HIGH SHERIFF WANTS TO GO M.A.D. IN LLAWHADEN! (From Western Telegraph)
Get involved: send your pictures, video, news and views by texting WT NEWS to 80360, or email us
Go MAD - Make a Difference RSS Feed
11:09am Monday 26th July 2010 in Go MAD - Make a Difference
David Pryse Lloyd, Dyfed High Sheriff, popped in to meet Llawhaden YFC & Community Hall chairperson Pam James and secretary Hannah Voyle (who was on the committee that built the hall originally) last week to look at work needed to be done on the hall.
Says Pam: "We're always raising money and doing repairs to the hall but it's a big commitment for a small community. Walls, doors and guttering need sorting. We also need to install a disabled toilet area. It's our 50th anniversary in October and it would be brilliant if the hall could be spruced up and given a new lease of life for our celebrations."
"As village post offices, schools and pubs disappear from our rural villages, community halls become ever more important in giving a focal point for community life," said David Pryse Lloyd. "That's why South Hook LNG and Milford Haven Port Authority have given us generous support. Unfortunately, the Go M.A.D. kitty isn't big enough to help all projects that have been short-listed. We badly need local businesses and people to give us help in kind, so places like Llawhaden community hall can get the support they deserve."
The Go M.A.D. shopping list includes kitchens, guttering, paint and painting equipment. If you or your business have redundant display stock, end of line materials or just a heap of good will that could make difference to a youth centre, village hall or boxing club, contact the High Sheriff's volunteers by picking up the phone and dialling 01834 891534 or emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ramones, 'Rocket to Russia'
Sire, 1977
The Ramones' third album took the gospel of three chords, a jackhammer beat and ripped denim beyond New York. Rocket to Russia was a polished bottling of the quartet's CBGB-stage napalm, bursting with Top 40 classicism and deepened by the lonely-boy poignancy of Joey Ramone's vocals.
