Political Soaps: The Weather and Politics

They say that if you do not like the weather in Texas, hang around for a bit and it will change. Same as politics. If you have buyers' remorse, never fear, you can do a "re-do" on Nov. 6.
If one would just sit back and be objective when watching the news or listen to a complete speech from the candidates, you would see that Obama can only tell voters to register, and to get out and vote for him. He constantly mocks Governor Romney, but never has any depth in his rhetoric as to why he should be elected.
He sounds more like a college student running for class president - not the President of the Unite States. Obama's henchman, Robert Gibbs, calls Governor Romney a Liar and horrible person. The Associated Press can only put out a picture that is not an accurate portrayal of the situation, and on and on.
Now the truth has been revealed about Obama. As President, he is responsible for the security of all American Citizens, but this does not appear to be happening. Overseas, our Military and State Department personnel are allowed to be put n harm's way. If you watched the hearings yesterday (I am sure CSPAN will rerun this weekend), surely it was obvious that this Administration was lying to the American public about the deaths of the four Americans on 9-11 in Libya.
Through all of the negative personal attacks on Governor Romney, the debates have opened the eyes of many. They are asking themselves after the debate, "where is the person that was portrayed by Obama this last year?" Think about it. Even Obama said it in 2008, "When a candidate is desperate, they turn to a negative campaign against their opponent"!
Take a moment if you are a Democrat, to watch Governor Romney while he is at a rally. There is depth, information, and most of all, in a decent way, he puts Obama on notice that as President he has failed to produced what he promised in his 2008 campaign.
Yes, there may be some 'pain' and changes under a President Romney, but, be honest with yourself. If you were so in debt that you had to start cutting expenses in order improve the financial position for you and your family, would it not be worth it to lower your debt?
It is called "financial discipline."
If one believes all of Obama's unkept promises, then "go for it".
If one prefers to: (1) bring America back to the strong and respected Nation we were before Obama, (2) bring back our Freedom provided for under our Constitution, (3) affirm a strong commitment to our Allies and project strength to our Enemies, and (4) lower the US Debt and Deficit through responsible spending and cutting unnecessary programs, then consider voting for Governor Romney.
Forget Republican/Conservative versus Democrats/Liberals, Vote to save America from Socialism. It is your choice, make a wise and informed decision when you vote!

Summer program focuses on LEAP remediation
Through the Webster Parish LEAP Summer Remediation Program, students who struggled to pass the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program test can receive remediation and a second chance to pass the test.
"Traditionally, the State Department of Education provided funding to conduct LEAP Summer Remediation classes and for retesting students," said Connie Busby, Webster Parish School Board Elementary Supervisor. "However, last summer state funding for this program was cut completely, yet the remediation program is mandated by BESE (State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education)."Subscribe to Read!

A. JLC associate editor Andrew Wormer
responds: According to John Kurz of the International
Staple, Nail, and Tool Association (ISANTA), the pro market for
drywall nails has largely dried up, as most drywall contractors
now use screws instead of nails to install gypsum board and
accessories like corner bead. Screws have greater holding power
than nails and aren't as likely to pop with structural
movement or when framing lumber shrinks; also, the IRC requires
more nails than screws when installing drywall. Says Galway,
N.Y., drywall contractor Myron Ferguson, "Ten or 15 years
ago, we used nails around the perimeter of each sheet, nailing
the drywall up as fast as we could and then coming back later
with screw guns to finish off the centers. But as screw guns
improved and we realized how much less screws pop than nails,
we eventually stopped using nails altogether."
Because drywallers like Ferguson use screws almost
exclusively, Kurz suggests that some retailers may be stocking
cheaper drywall nails targeted to DIYers, and it's
possible that some of them don't actually meet code. The
2009 IRC calls for drywall nails to meet ASTM C514
specifications, and while there aren't any specific
requirements for corrosion resistance, there are for shank
diameter, head diameter, and length. When used with 1/2-inch
drywall, for example, ring-shanked nails should have a minimum
diameter of 0.098 inch and a minimum length of 1 1/4 inches
(table R702.3.5, 2009 IRC).
Both the cement-coated smooth-shank drywall nail (far left)
and the blued ring-shank drywall nail (left) meet code
requirements, but they're more likely to pop than a
drywall screw.
I found code-compliant drywall nails from Grip Rite
800/676-7777) at the two major home centers in my area and at a
local hardware store (see photo above); similar nails are
available online from sources like National Nail
800/521-1115). The annular ring nails have a sturdy 12
1/2-gauge shank and a blued finish, which is a thin methyl
oxide coating designed less for corrosion resistance than to
help the nail hold more securely. The smooth-shank nails are
cement coated, a finish that can rub off when the nails are
Ferguson notes that in addition to being more closely spaced
than screws, nails should be installed in pairs to avoid
damaging the paper face and core of the drywall. He spaces the
nails in each pair about 1 1/2 inches apart and hits each nail
alternately until the face is dimpled and the heads are set
just below the surface of the drywall.

High-risk pregnancy
Pregnancies at high risk of fetal or maternal complications. There are many factors that contribute to complications during pregnancy and delivery. Chronic medical problems in the mother, past history of repeated preterm delivery, and abnormalities of the fetus or placenta all increase the risk of complications. Women with high-risk pregnancies should be seen and treated by someone who is experienced in caring for complicated pregnancies. Usually, this is an obstetrician or a perinatologist, an obstetrician with additional training in treating high-risk pregnancy problems. In some cases a consultation with neonatologist (specialist in the care of sick newborns) can prepare you for what to expect if your baby has problems. Some hospitals have high-risk pregnancy units, where mothers stay during part of their pregnancy to receive the care they need. This is one of those conditions that is best treated by a hospital that has a high volume of these types of patients.

Steven M. Malinak, Ph.D.
Office: SWA 300D
Degrees: Ph.D. The University of Michigan; B.A. Albion College
Areas of Study
Steven Malinak is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry. His specific specialty is inorganic chemistry, however, being the product of a liberal arts education, he is interested in a wide array of subjects. Dr. Malinak teaches introductory organic chemistry, introductory and advanced inorganic chemistry, and advanced synthetic methods in the Chemistry department. He also routinely teaches an interdisciplinary course through the religious studies department called "Human Origin: Scientific and Christian Perspectives," looking at the complexity of the debate between scientific and Christian worldviews.
Dr. Malinak tries to pass along his enthusiasm for the liberating nature of education by being an active participant in our Freshman Forum program, having most recently offered a seminar entitled "Evolution and…," which looks at human uniqueness, human behavior, and our place in the natural world through the lens of science.
His research interests include the synthesis of potential new metal-containing liquid crystals and exploring the works of modern Christian, philosophical and scientific scholarship as it relates to human origin. Dr. Malinak is also an unabashed fan of Star Wars.

Comments about Five Ten Camp Four Approach Shoe (Women's) New:
I purchased these shoes at the recommendation of a friend for an upcoming 10 day backpacking trip in the high Sierras. My old hiking boots were badly in need of replacing and my friend extolled the virtues of the Camp Four. While I appreciate their robust design, low profile, and great gripping soles, the shoes were just not that comfortable. They rubbed in an uncomfortable spot on both my heels and pinky toes on each shoe. The shoes felt too small and narrow for their size. I'll be returning them but will continue to order from Rock Creek.

It's seems it is not peanut butter jelly time at Henderson elementary schools, at least on Fridays.
The lunch time favorite has been taken off the menu, and that's not welcomed news.
When asked if it bothers Adrian Posey that they're going to stop serving peanut butter and jelly on Fridays, he said," Yes! Because, I really love peanut butter sandwiches."
Posey is a fourth grader at East Heights Elementary School in Henderson. He's one of many students who will no longer have the option of PB and J on Fridays.
"That is due to our new regulations based upon the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act," said Sabrina Jewell, the Director of Child Nutrition for Henderson Schools.
Signed into law by President Obama in 2010, and amended in 2012, the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act calls for regulations on students' caloric intake during school lunches.
"For the elementary schools, we were over on our breads and our calories. To bring that into compliance, we have opted to not offer the peanut butter and jelly on Fridays," Jewell said.
In addition to the removal of PB and J on Fridays, the school corporation has handed out lunch guides to cafeteria staffers in order to make sure students are eating what the government mandates.
"Every meal that we serve, we get money back from the government. So, if we don't meet the guidelines, they don't pay us the money," Jewell said.
14 News asked some students how healthy they think the lunches are.
"On a scale of one to ten, they're probably an eight," 4th grader Coltan Evans said.
Students now know that eating healthy sometimes means making changes and that's something they're ok with.
Jewell says reconstructing the elementary schools' lunch menu was difficult. She says if you would like to suggest alternative changes, you are encouraged to contact the Henderson County School Board.

Hello all,I am seeking advice on what you would do in my situation. Thanks for your timeBackground:I have been put into a situation by Factor X (Mike Angel), whose expert engine building experience has left me with an immobile NSX for pretty much the last year.The story is a very, very long, albeit, an interesting read for someone on the sidelines. But, for me, it's a very long, extremely painful and very expensive one. I'll shorten it considerably:Day one:July 2007After a couple lengthy conversations with Mike (aka Mikey) from FactorX, he successfully convinced me that they were very competent NSX engine builders with values and at least a satisfactory level of customer service. ERROR #1After being promised a turn around time of 2-3 weeks for a complete build, I decided to go for it. (I figured that the extra expense to ship it would be worth it for the peace of mind of having an expert NSX engine builder with vast experience working on it rather than a local unknown.) ERROR#2Car arrives Monday the 6th of August. Mikey promises me a schedule and bi-weekly updates including photos. (I never received one. And every status report was receive after trying to track him down for in most cases several days to weeks)He promises me that the engine would be dropped by the following Monday due to delays. On the following Tuesday he says another customer is keeping him busy, so moves the date to Friday the 17th.Engine is pulled eventually and the build is started (already easily 2 weeks into the process. no big deal, I never expected it to be complete within the 2-3 week promised timeline).Delays push promised completion date to September 10th.Oops. sorry, how is October 10th?After many efforts to contact Mikey, I finally get a confirmed promise date of October 23rd. Being a little concerned due to the flip flopping of completion dates, I ask him point blank if the car will be completely done and ready for me to test drive upon my arrival. I told him that I didn't want to fly out if the car wasn't fully complete. His response, "Absolutely". I book my flight and fly out to Vegas.I arrive at Factor X and the car isn't remotely close to being finished. I was promised a complete car that I could test drive and ship back, and the car barely ran. He told me to drive it up the street being careful not to step on it, and come back. The trip was a complete waste of time and money.Mikey promises to finish the car by the following week and ship.Car arrives on November 17th.I had to travel for the holidays, so pushed the car into the garage (wouldn't start) and waited to test it when I got back.Arrived back on the week of the 26th. Got it started. Took a short drive about 4 miles or so from my house. While driving down a back road near a local movie theater, the oil light comes on, so I immediately pull over and shut her down. At the time of shutting her down the engine had begun to emit a slight grinding sound.I look under the car and notice that the oil scavenge pump return line was mounted to the sway bar (yes, sway bar) and the hose had pulled loose which resulted in all of the oil being pumped to the street.So, I walked through the rain to find a phone (this was a very short test drive so I didn't anticipate having to get out of the car so didn't bring my phone or shoes unfortunately) Finally, I find a restaurant that allowed me to use their phone (despite my wet feet and clothing) and proceed to call my wife to bring tools and oil.I call Mikey and tell him the story. He is confident that there is no major damage, so I reattach the hose and add the oil and take her home.I spend over a hundred dollars trying to fix the hose with new custom AN fittings and braided line. The .25cent hose clamps that they used were not holding well. I also created a sleeve that allowed the pump to stay in a fixed spot while the sway bar moved. This worked as a temporary solution until I could relocate the pump.The car never ran properly. Idle jumps to 2k-3k and randomly cuts off while driving. (Quite embarrassing and annoying when you are at a stop light and your car is idling at 2-3k)While driving on the freeway, the car decided to shut off completely rendering me stranded on the shoulder. I waited for a few minutes and started it back up. I drive 2-3 miles home at a snails pace, and notice that oil pressure is low. Check oil and there are bubbles in the oil.Mikey continues to suggest the motor is sound.Next day I take the car for a test drive down the street from my house. Motor is cold, so oil pressure looks good. As motor becomes warm, the oil pressure begins to drop. Engine violently shuts off while driving and produces a big 'banging' sound. I immediately pull over into a school parking lot and wait for a neighbor to come to my rescue. I start the car up and notice a loud clanking sound as if someone dropped a rock into one of the cylinders.We tow it back about a mile to my garage.I call Factor X and leave a message, Mikey doesn't call back. Try again a few hours later and he answers. I proceed to tell him the story, he finally starts to show some concern and says he had to go, but would call back in 10 minutes. Never calls back. (same story every time)I call again the next day and Mikey does answer, but, once again has to go quickly and promises to call back. Never does.2 days later, I call once again and Mikey tells me he couldn't talk. But, he did promise to call back again, but, of course never does. (This is the pattern during the entire experience.)I finally get him on the phone days later and arrange to send the car back to rebuild on Factor X's dime. I appreciated him standing by his work since there was a contractual warranty. And he even promises to pay for shipping. I appreciate the kind gesture and set up a pick up date.January the car goes back to Factor X in Las Vegas.I express concern about rebuilding the motor correctly since Mikey informs me that all that needs to be done is to replace the broken rod bearing. I am a bit concerned since many metal particles traveled through the entire engine after the last catastrophic failure. Mikey assures me that it will be perfectly fine simply replacing the rod bearing.March arrives and there is absolutely no progress on the car. Many, many, many phone calls that are not returned. I start to get frustrated as anyone would. But, I remain extremely calm and understanding.April Mikey gives me a verbal progress report and extends the promise date to May 6th.Throughout the month of April I have even a more difficult time reaching Mikey. Dozens of calls with no call backs. I'm starting to think the car is stolen or worse.May arrives and I continue to make Mikey aware of a hard date that I had in June due to an event that I was obligated to. "Absolutely not a problem" he reassures me every time.June arrives and the car is still not complete. I reiterate the importance of the ship date and try to schedule a final trip out for testing prior to shipping.I also remind him of how unacceptable the condition of the car was during the last trip out and wanted reassurance that it would be complete this time."Absolutely, not a problem sir!" He once again promised.I arrive in Las Vegas and he informs me that the car needs to go to the dyno for final tuning. He tells me to get race gas at the nearby gas station (which of course I have to pay for).After we spend several hours at the dyno they hand me the bill. (I thought that was part of my original tuning fee that I paid??)I drive the car back to his shop and it starts to shut off on me on the freeway. (let me tell you, driving this car since Factor X has touched it has been nothing but constant stress and anxiety. Not knowing if you are going to break down in the middle of a busy intersection or on a crowded freeway really isn't a good feeling) I call Mikey who is driving in front of me on the cell and he suggests we pull over into the nearest gas station. He takes a quick look and diagnosis it as an electrical problem and promises to fix it by ship date. "Absolutely, not a problem"I fly back home, once again without any confidence in the car and that much poorer.Days pass and Mikey says the electrical problem was worked out.The car ships back and arrives the day before I have to take it to my event.When I receive the car it is in absolutely filthy condition and one side skirt is hanging off. One fender has cracks at the bottom and the hood sticks up about a centimeter higher than the fender on one side. The rubber strip between the hood and bumper is completely missing (although he did provide a new one in the car). The alarm no longer works, the plastic interior piece on the passenger door is missing and he neglects to ship back my spare tire. These are just some of the issues.I spend the entire night cleaning the car and securing the side skirt etc.Morning comes and I pack the car and my passenger and I begin the journey. About 1 hour along the way the car completely shuts off. I pull over on the freeway and wait a moment. I start it back up and continue to drive. About 3 miles later it shuts off again. At this point we decide to return back to my house and get a rental car. This puts us pretty much a full day off of schedule and more importantly without the NSX which was part of my obligation to show it. But, what's new, it's been a year long hell already.After my trip I take the car out to test again. Short trips here and there to monitor if it shuts off or not. I did notice the oil pressure appearing low so I call Mikey to inform him. He tells me that the pressure gauge is incorrect and not to worry about it.After about 5 - 6 hrs of driving since I returned from my trip. I noticed the motor sputtering a bit on the freeway. It then began to emit a sort of fluttering/clanking sound. I take it home and shut it down. I inform Mikey of the problem and continue to diagnose the problem. I'm told by some reputable sources that it sounds like another rod bearing failure. I try to start the car again and it doesn't hold idle, smokes and rattles and clanks like crazy.That's where I am. The car has been collecting dust in my garage for the last 3 months as I've been trying to get a hold of Mikey. He cancelled his phone number so I attempted to reach him through Ken. Ken was very responsive and did show concern for my situation. He promised to tell Mikey to call me and informed me that he was in no way affiliated with FactorX (the shop).Weeks later I send an email stating that I'll have to pursue legal action due to his unresponsiveness and unwillingness to contact me to resolve the issue.Shortly after, I receive a call from Mikey. At that time he promises me that he will go to his bank on Saturday and review the invoices to issue a full refund. Monday comes and he calls to inform me that he didn't have a chance to go to the bank, but will go that day and call me back. After not hearing from him by Wednesday, I call him to no avail. Finally, I reach him on Thursday and he promises me that he would go the bank that day and will call me back that evening.That was over a week ago and I have not heard back. I have left numerous messages and emails.That is a summarized version of this hell that I've been going through with Factor X over the last year+. All I wanted was what they so confidently promised. A fully built motor that was reliable, and a level of customer service that would make me feel like I was in good hands. The entire experience couldn't have been more of the opposite.Oh, and of course I never received a dime for shipping. That's nearly 8k in shipping alone. That's how much I trusted in their expertise and professionalism.So now, I sit without a car, in the hole more money than you would want to know. What would you do?Thanks for your time.
suckssss, i would take that mikey guy to courtcompletely bogus how he pretty much ignores you and how irresponsible he was to fix your caryou sound like you were more than patient
sounds like I could run a better business
well i agree with the first responce. take him to court and sue the *** out of him. then take some of the money you make off him and go to slow motion. its a performance shop that will do a great job. i have had many cars done there and many of my friends cars done there. not one complaint. its in columbus ohio. they keep their deadlines and dont screw around.

AT&T Wireless to offer mobile communications in cruise ships
Posted on 17-Mar-2004 08:27.
Filed under:
AT&T Wireless and Maritime Telecommunications Network (MTN) announced that cruise ship passengers may soon enjoy the convenience of using their wireless phones while at sea.
The companies have formed a joint venture, Wireless Maritime Services, to develop and launch a communications offering that will rely on a combination of satellite and wireless services to provide the cruise line industry and its passengers with on-board wireless service. The joint venture will combine MTN's expertise in providing satellite services to the cruise industry with AT&T Wireless' expertise in delivering wireless services to consumer and business travelers. Financial terms were not disclosed.
"We look forward to our joint venture with AT&T Wireless delivering truly global mobile service to ships in international waters," said David Kagan, Chief Executive Officer of MTN. "Using this service, staying in touch will be as convenient for cruise ship passengers as pressing the send key on their own mobile phone."
"We will make it possible for cruise passengers to place and receive calls, use short message service, and access the Internet using their own wireless phones, just as they do at home," added Jordan Roderick, President of AT&T Wireless International. "We offer our customers the largest global voice and data coverage area of any North American carrier, and through this agreement we hope to extend service to the high seas."
AT&T Wireless uses GSM technology, which serves nearly 70 percent of the world's wireless users. The company has an ever-growing list of roaming agreements around the world, currently enabling its customers with GSM/GPRS devices to make voice calls in more than 130 countries and access data services in more than 50 countries. In addition, many subscribers to wireless carriers outside the U.S. can use their GSM phones to roam on AT&T Wireless' network when visiting the U.S. and parts of the Caribbean. These subscribers may also be able to take advantage of the new offering from Wireless Maritime Services.
The companies are currently working with several cruise lines and expect to introduce the service later this year.

nounarchaic Back to top
early 17th century (as a noun): of unknown origin; perhaps related to skate1. The sense 'render temporarily harmless' is based on an emendation of Shakespeare's Macbeth iii. ii. 13 as 'We have scotch'd the snake, not kill'd it', originally understood as a use of scotch2; the sense 'put an end to' (early 19th century) results from the influence on this of the notion of wedging or blocking something so as to render it inoperative.

Comments about Gibraltar SC-AM1 Cowbell Mount:
I use it for a cowbell on my hi-hat stand when I need to play it with my left while playing the hi-hat with the right (think Hendrix "Stone Free"). The holder stays put, and the cb grips it well. (I usually use the cb on a bass drum holder, but with an 18" bd it's a bit too low to hit with my left. With both holders set up, it's any easy switch.)

Comments about Gibraltar SC-AM1 Cowbell Mount:
Does exactly what it should. Be interesting to see how it copes with two attachments in the future.
Comments about Gibraltar SC-AM1 Cowbell Mount:
I recently bought this cowbell mount from musicians friend and I must say, I couldn't be happier with it. It mounted my LP Black Beauty right on to my Mapex crash stand, no problem. Since I put it on, it has not moved an inch and it always stays tight when I am playing on my cowbell. A great product!
Comments about Gibraltar SC-AM1 Cowbell Mount:
Just picked this up at my local music store. Stays tight (it's the worst when you have to constantly adjust during a show), and has enough space to mount a medium sized block and a cowbell.
Comments about Gibraltar SC-AM1 Cowbell Mount:
These are great mounts. I use one for a quick-draw tambourine on my percussion rig, and two on my drum kit; one for a cowbell mounted from a tom arm over the kick, and one for a mounted tambourine under the hats. They're quick to mount and dismount on road gear, and they hold solid under a barrage of abuse.
Comments about Gibraltar SC-AM1 Cowbell Mount:
I needed a bracket to hold my quick draw mounted tambourine on a stand, and needless to say, it works very well. It would only need a swivel at the mid point of the arm, for greater movability, to rank among the better brackets. Would recommend.

NEWPORT NEWS -- Police have arrested an ice cream truck driver who they say made inappropriate comments to a young girl and touched himself inappropriately.
Erick Alexander Pena-Carrillo, 33, of the 700 block of Dinwiddie Street in Portsmouth, was arrested at his home Thursday.
Pena-Carrillo is charged with two counts of taking indecent liberties with a child and one count of indecent exposure.
According to police, around 4:45 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 12, Pena-Carrillo was operating an ce cream truck in the 1000 block of Garden Drive in Newport News.
A ten-year-old Newport News girl told police that while she was attempting to purchase ice cream, the suspect made inappropriate comments to her and touched himself inappropriately.
The suspect's truck was later stopped by police in a different neighborhood and officers obtained his identifying information.
During the investigation, detectives identified a second ten-year-old Newport News girl who was also a victim in this incident.
After detectives identified Pena-Carrillo as the suspect, they obtained warrants and he was arrested in Portsmouth.
Anyone with information is asked to call Newport News Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.

Court injunction stops B.C. sales tax exemption
Published on Thu, Jul 8, 2010 by
By Tara Nelson

A Washington state sales tax exemption for B.C. residents is on hold following a recent court decision.
Skagit County Superior Court judge Susan Cook issued a temporary restraining order June 30 halting the implementation of a recent state ruling that would allow Canadian shoppers to forgo paying sales taxes on some purchases in Washington.
The injunction comes after to an action filed by the city of Bellingham and Whatcom County that challenged the ruling, calling it a "flawed interpretation" of the province's "harmonized sales tax" and saying it would unfairly impact Whatcom County retailers and governments.
The exemption is based on the Department of Revenue's interpretation that the new "harmonized sales tax" which took effect July 1 in B.C. is not a sales tax but is a value added tax. As such, it qualifies for the Washington sales tax exemption.
The change would only apply to items purchased for use in Canada.
Canadians would still have to pay taxes on non-tangible purchases such as lodging, meals, haircuts and other retail services provided in the state.
The exemption is optional for businesses to offer and is limited to sales of goods for use outside Washington and does not apply to sales of services or retail activities such as golf.
"While our community welcomes Canadian shoppers, the loss of sales tax revenue, if the ruling prevails, presents significant challenges to already-financially-strapped local governments," said Bellingham mayor Dan Pike.
Pike said while no public or private organizations have collected all the data needed to make a close estimate of how the loss will affect Bellingham, he said Bellingham's largest retailers report that as much as 30 percent of their shoppers are Canadian residents, and about 20 percent of all retail transactions are from people who live in Canada. According to those figures, Bellingham finance director John Carter estimated the city's sales tax collections will be reduced by at least $600,000 to as much as $1.3 million per year.
Carter added that while the exemption could attract more B.C. shoppers, the added revenue would not make up for the loss of sales tax revenue to local governments.
Ken Oplinger, president of the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce and Industry, added that while it may encourage some Canadians to shop here more, the difference would be marginal because they already enjoy a cost advantage. In May alone, more than 700,000 Canadians visited Whatcom County, up from 500,000 in May of last year, he said.
"There's already a cost advantage for Canadians to come down here, so to make that argument work you'd have to show there is a huge number of people who would be coming and I just don't think those people are there. It will increase traffic but not in a significant way and in no way will it offset the loss in sales tax revenue to the cities and the state."
Oplinger said he estimated the exemption could have as much as a $3 million loss in sales tax revenue for the county, $1.2 million just for Bellingham.
And while he did not have figures for Blaine he said the new rule would have a significantly large impact there.
"We're down to cutting bone now, there's no fat to cut," he said.
Blaine city manager Gary Tomsic agreed, although he said Blaine city officials' estimates predict the relative impact to Blaine would be less than in Bellingham because of the type of goods that are tax exempt. Those include larger items, which are largely sold outside of Blaine.
Tomsic said figures presented by the Department of Revenue estimated that the percentage of retail sales in Blaine was 5 percent and that the loss of sales tax revenue to Blaine in 2011 will be only $9,000.
This would amount to .7 percent, or seventh-tenths of 1 percent, of the total sales tax received by the city of Blaine.
"We believe that the estimate is low and could be as high as 10 percent," Tomsic said. "However, in this economy where sales taxes are down significantly, any additional loss is significant."
City and county officials say retailers should wait for further instructions from the Department of Revenue before changing any sales tax collection practices.
A hearing on the tax has been postponed to July 16 in Skagit County Superior Court.

The Festival Wood is wild forest regeneration initiative from A Greener Festival. It is not an offset scheme. The Festival Woods is an opportunity for the festival community to give something back to the great outdoors that we love to enjoy. A festival legacy that will grow and grow.
A Greener Festival chose to team with Trees for Life to create the Festival Wood, due to their proven and outstanding commitment to restoring, protecting and nurturing the wild forests in the Scottish Highlands.
"Trees for Life's vision is to restore a wild forest, which is there for its own sake, as a home for wildlife and to fulfill the ecological functions necessary for the wellbeing of the land itself."
Trees are planted in natural distribution patterns at sites that offer maximum benefits for biodiversity. Trees for Life's focus is on native species grown from locally collected seed, including Scots pine, willow, rowan, birch, hazel, alder, holly, aspen and bird cherry. The Festival Woods are beginning in Dundreggan, an area of 10,000 acres of wild land near Loch Ness.
We invite festivals, festival-goers, artists, suppliers and the whole festival community to get involved and donate trees, at £5 each, to this lasting positive restoration. We hope to one day see the Festival Woods flourish to become a diverse Festival Forest, rich with biodiversity and protected wilderness.
The first 300 trees are donated by our friends and coach travelers with Big Green Coach, the team at A Greener Festival and a wonderful 100 tree donation in loving memory of Aidan 'Tig' Challis.
Visit and Volunteer
Dundreggan has a visitor area so if you wish to see the Festival Wood you can! There is also opportunity to volunteer to go and plant trees with Trees for Life's Conservation Holidays. There are also educational walks and opportunities to observe the areas wildlife.
If you are a festival and want to get involved with the Festival Woods project contact firstname.lastname@example.com

BELOIT, WI (WTAQ) - A woman accused of kidnapping her baby nephew near Beloit last week has used multiple names and birth dates which may have gotten her out of jail in November.
Authorities said 31-year-old Kristen Smith of Denver was arrested last Thursday in Iowa. But the AP says court records and warrants indicate that she was charged elsewhere as 32-year-old Kristen Pearson.
Smith did get married last year -- but she was listed as having differing birth dates on various court records. The AP said it might have been why the woman was released from a Colorado jail November 3rd, while she was wanted for felony crimes in other states.
She was arrested just hours after she allegedly left a home near Beloit with the five-day-old son of her half sister, Brianna Marshall. Marshall has said she was not certain about her half sister's last name.
Officials said they tracked down the woman along Interstate 80 in Iowa, where she reportedly left the child behind a gas station in bitter cold temperatures. He was found unharmed 29 hours later, and was later returned to her mother.
The suspect was listed as Kristen Smith when she was held last week on outstanding warrants from Texas.
In Marathon County, she was known as Pearson when she was fined $434 for misdemeanor theft by fraud November 1st. She previously spent nine months in jail as Kristen Pearson, for four misdemeanor convictions of writing bad checks.
She faces possible federal charges in the baby's kidnapping. The FBI continues to investigate.

The Labradoodle story begins with Wally Conron, the head breeder of the Australian Guide Dog Association, who coined the name in 1989 when he bred a litter of Labrador Retriever - Standard Poodle cross pups. Pat Blum had lived with vision impairment for many years, but never could apply for a Guide Dog because of her husband's problem with allergies. Pat approached Wally and was overjoyed when the AGDA agreed to breed a litter of Labradoodle pups, hoping the Poodle cross would lessen the likelihood of an allergic reaction.
Harley the Standard Poodle was bred to Brandy the Labrador Retriever and three pups, Sultan, Sheik and Simon were conceived. As Pat and her husband lived in Hawaii, fur samples of the 3 pups were sent to Pat at different ages. Sultan's coat was the only one that caused no problem at all. Sultan trained well as a Guide Dog and was united with Pat for the first time at eighteen months old.
Labradoodles became very popular among the blind in Hawaii, and Wally has said that 29 of the first 31 Labradoodles he bred were successfully trained as Guide Dogs, although only one in ten were reliably allergy friendly. The Australian Guide Dog Association continues to breed one or two litters of Labradoodles a year due to their popularity. Dr. Kate Schoeffel, a friend of Wally Conron, is an honours geneticist and Vet in Condoblin, New South Wales, Australia. Kate was the first to breed pet Labradoodles, and still breeds miniature Labradoodles to this day.
In the early 1990's two associated kennels in Australia, with a background in Spoodles (Australian for Cockapoos, a Cocker Spaniel - Poodle mix) began to breed Labradoodles to Labradoodles and Labradoodles to Poodles, breeding toward a consistently allergy friendly and nonshed dog. Other breeds were introduced into the mix as well. (The IALA is in the process of confirming the use of these purebreds)
In 1999 these new lines of dogs were introduced to North America where they took off like gangbusters! Those breeders who carefully selected breeding dogs and promoted health testing joined together to form the first association created to protect the qualities of the multigeneration Labradoodle, the Labradoodle Association of Australia (LAA).
The LAA was founded in June of 2000, and began a computer database to record and track the pedigrees of the multigeneration Labradoodle. As the founding parent body of the Australian Labradoodle, it is their goal to submit the Australian Labradoodle breed standard to the Australia National Kennel Club (ANKC) for breed recognition when the required criteria are met.
The International Labradoodle Association (ILA) was incorporated in 2004 and began to work with the LAA towards the protection of the Labradoodle's future. Their goal is to focus on nurturing the development of the Labradoodle and promoting uniform breeding standards to insure the health and integrity of the breed.
First generation Labradoodle - (First filial generation - F1) a Labrador Retriever and Poodle cross
First generation backcross Labradoodle - (F1b) a Labradoodle bred back to one of its breeds of origin, usually a Poodle
Multigenerational Labradoodles - (F2 or F2B, F3, etc.) Generations of Labradoodles and Labradoodle backcrosses
In 2005 The International Australian Labradoodle Association, IALA, was founded as a global organization, uniting the existing sister organizations. These sister associations include :
the Australian Labradoodle Association, ALA (formerly the LAA)
and the Australian Labradoodle Association of America, ALAA (formerly the ILA )
Working together, the breeders have developed stringent guidelines in health testing and a more comprehensive breeding program.
One of the most important qualities for a healthy, viable new breed is to build a large and healthy number of foundation stock with a broad genetic diversity. The IALA oversees new lines being added from around the globe, each bringing renewed health and vigour into old lines.
They have compiled the largest Labradoodle database in the world. As of September 2006, there are almost 3000 registered dogs and over 3000 additional ancestors in the database.
Health Testing
As science moves forward, the IALA breeders embrace new technologies that offer them more insight into their breeding programs. Although each sister organization has its own specific code of ethics and conduct, all IALA members are recommended or required to administer certain tests to their breeding dogs.
Breed recognition is many years away, both in Australia and in the U.S. New breeds develop through a series of processes -
ANKC Breed Recognition
Breeders in Australia have contacted the ANKC and discussed more specifics on the requirements for breed recognition, and have updated and improved the breeding program accordingly.
AKC Breed Recognition
The ALAA has contacted the AKC, although the Australian Labradoodle does not currently meet its definition of a possible purebred, the ALAA is taking all the necessary steps to allow the AKC to accept the ALAA's database into it's foundation services program at a future date.
The IALA encourages all Member Breeders to health test their breeding stock. Recommended basic tests include hip and elbow exams, yearly physicals with CBC and biochemical profiles, and annual EYE/PRA exams.
Breeders who have submitted DNA parentage identification profiles on all breeding dogs an IALA/ALAA member may place the following statement on their website.
"Our breeding dogs are IALA/ALAA DNA profiled. All of our breeding dogs have been DNA'd and their DNA profiles have been submitted to the IALA/ALAA. This has been done to protect the buyer and support parentage identification. The IALA/ALAA strongly recommends this profiling of its members and we are proud to be an IALA/ALAA/DNA breeder."
Pacific Rim Labradoodles
All IALA/ALAA members have pledged to a stringent Code of Ethics which includes Rules & Regulations that are updated quarterly. The ethics code is extensive and includes;
standards in housing and caring for dogs and pups
candor about all aspects of the breeding program
ethical treatment of dogs and choices in breeding practices
identification and record keeping requirements
a pledge to represent the dogs honestly and provide materials to better educate owners
Some of the statements in the Code are broad and open to interpretation, and so with each new quarter year, new procedures and standards of excellence are sent to all the breeders, refining and defining specific parts on the Code.
Bi-monthly letters are also sent out with updates in health testing, or any issues that may affect the health of these foundation lines of Australian Labradoodles.
Many thanks to Krista Waitz of Rainmaker Ranch Australian Labradoodles and the IALA, and to Kathy Young from Cloudcatcher Labradoodles and the AALA, for all their efforts in helping to put together this informational page.

From Washoe County:
With the extreme heat, dry conditions and the upcoming July 4 holiday, the Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District (TMFPD) is reminding Washoe County residents that, with the exception of approved public fireworks displays, fireworks are illegal within Washoe County. "While it may be legal to purchase fireworks in some locations outside of Washoe County and on Tribal Lands, it is illegal to possess or use fireworks and/or pyrotechnics within the TMFPD, which includes the unincorporated areas of the County," said TMFPD Fire Marshal Amy Ray. "Illegal possession or use of fireworks can result in fines up to $1,000 and/or up to six months in jail for each offense." According to the National Fire Protection Association: •In 2011, fireworks caused an estimated 17,800 reported fires, including 1,200 total structure fires, 400 vehicle fires, and 16,300 outside and other fires. These fires resulted in an estimated 8 civilian deaths, 40 civilian injuries and $32 million in direct property damage. •In 2011, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 9,600 people for fireworks related injuries; 61 percent of 2011 emergency room fireworks-related injuries were to the extremities and 34 percent were to the head. •The risk of fireworks injury was highest for children ages 5-19 and adults 25-44. •In an average year, far more U.S. fires are reported July 4 than on any other day, and fireworks account for two out of five of those fires, more than any other cause of fires. •Should an individual choose to use fireworks, and this use causes property damage or injury, the individual shall be held responsible both legally and financially. Individuals who use fireworks and start a fire will be billed for the cost of response and suppression activities. TMFPD is also recommending those using barbeque grills be mindful of safety. While gas grills contribute to a higher number of home fires than their charcoal counterparts, all grills pose a risk for fires and burns. Some tips to remember when grilling this summer: •Propane and charcoal grills should only be used outdoors. •Charcoal grills are prohibited for use in an apartment complex. •Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grill area. •Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grill and from trays below the grill. •Never leave your grill unattended. •Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it. •If you use a charcoal grill, be sure to let the coals cool completely after grilling before placing them in a metal container, soaking them in water, and then disposing them after checking them again. For more information, contact Truckee Meadows Fire Protection District's Fire Prevention Division at (775) 326-6000 or visit www.washoecounty.us/tmfpd.

LEWISBURG, Pa. – On the strength of six Patriot League championships in 2006-07, Bucknell has claimed its 13th Patriot League Presidents' Cup in the 17-year history of the conference.
"Winning the Presidents' Cup for the 13th time in 17 years is a tremendous accomplishment, and we commend Bucknell's student-athletes and coaches for continuing to set the pace for excellence," said Bucknell President Brian C. Mitchell. "The honor shows the commitment our hard-working student-athletes have made to excel athletically as well as academically. We have a remarkable group of student-athletes, and it has been a pleasure to watch them continue the long history of success to which Bison Athletics has become accustomed."
The Bison racked up 126.25 points in the Cup standings, the most ever for Bucknell and the second most in league history, just .75 points shy of Army's 13-year-old standard.
Navy was a distant runner-up with 103.25 points. The 23-point margin that separated the Bison and Mids was the second largest in the history of the league. Army (99 points), Lehigh (87.25), Colgate (85.25), Lafayette (73), American (64) and Holy Cross (60.25) rounded out the standings.
In addition, the Patriot League awards all-sports trophies for both men and women, and Bucknell swept those, winning the women's trophy for the 13th time and the men's for the sixth time. The Bison women broke their own record margin of victory from last year as they defeated second-place Colgate by 18 points. Their point total of 66 was the second most in Patriot League history, just four shy of last year's record-setting figure. The men posted the fourth-highest point total (60.25) in league annals to claim their first crown since 2003-04, when they shared it with Navy.
"Claiming the Presidents' Cup once again is a credit to the outstanding performance of Bucknell's student-athletes, coaches and staff this year," said John Hardt, director of athletics and recreation. "Our record-setting point total shows how committed Bucknell Athletics is to continued excellence in all sports. It is satisfying to know we can have this remarkable athletic success in such a competitive league while also holding true to our student-athlete model."
