Wis. lawmakers respond to Walker's health exchange decision
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin lawmakers are weighing in on Governor Scott Walker's health exchange decision.
On Friday morning, Walker announced Wisconsin will not set up a state-run health insurance exchange under President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act. Walker told the Obama administration that he will leave that responsibility to the federal government.
Democratic Congressman Ron Kind said he's disappointed in Walker's decision. Earlier this week, Kind, Senator Herb Kohl, Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin, Representative Gwen Moore and Representative-elect Mark Pocan sent a letter to Walker asking him to implement a state-run health care exchange.
Kind's entire statement is below:
"Governor Walker put partisan politics before people today. Instead of allowing Wisconsin to run its own health insurance exchange, make key health care decisions for Wisconsinites, and better meet the needs of families and businesses here at home, Governor Walker punted that responsibility to Washington.
"Health insurance exchanges are based on the SHOP Act, legislation I authored, and have always had bipartisan support. They allow small businesses, family farmers and individuals to choose amongst competing health care plans which are coupled with tax credits to make them affordable. What's not to like?
"I'm disappointed in Governor Walker's decision and hope that we can find a way to rise above the politics, work together, and provide access to quality, affordable coverage for the people of Wisconsin."
Baldwin also released a statement on Walker's health insurance exchange decision. Her entire statement is below:
"The people of Wisconsin sent a clear message last week that they wanted to move Wisconsin and our country forward by having both parties put progress ahead of politics.
"I joined others in reaching out to Governor Walker and made it clear I was committed to working with him to advance health care reforms that work for Wisconsin. Instead of leading and working together to move a "made in Wisconsin" health insurance marketplace forward, Governor Walker chose to pass the buck and reject the opportunity to take ownership of this issue.
"I will not let politics stand in the way of progress; that is not what I was elected to do. I remain committed to bringing people together to make health care reform work for Wisconsin. I will work to ensure Wisconsin families and businesses get what they deserve: a health insurance marketplace that provides affordable and accessible choices, strengthens Wisconsin's economic security, and moves our state forward."
Democratic Congressman Gordon Hintz said he's disappointed in Governor Walker's decision. His entire response is below:
"I am disappointed in the Governor's decision to give up developing a Wisconsin based health insurance exchange in favor of letting Washington develop one for the state. It is incredibly short- sighted to disregard the expertise of Wisconsin's private health insurance companies and health care providers.
"At what point is Governor Walker going to actual govern and make decisions with the people of Wisconsin in mind instead of the Tea Party? The Governor seems incapable of making decisions without politicizing every action at the expense of the well-being of Wisconsin citizens.
"The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is the law of the land. Numerous business and insurance agents have expressed frustration that Wisconsin would risk turning over regulation of Wisconsin's insurance market to Washington to make a political point against a health insurance law. Our strong private insurance market would benefit from participating in the development of the health exchange system that addresses cost and access."
Republican Senator Frank Lasee praised Governor Walker for his decsion on "Obamacare" exchanges. His entire response is below:
"Governor Walker was faced with a tough decision today. He decided to lead Wisconsin away from an unpopular, bureaucratic, expensive government run Obamacare state health insurance exchange. This was the right decision for Wisconsin. This decision will save Wisconsin taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
"Obamacare will add nearly a trillion dollars to our nation's debt of $16 trillion, that's irresponsible. Governor Walker and Wisconsin Republicans support fiscal responsibility while President Obama continues his spendthrift ways. Because of the decision by Governor Walker, Wisconsin employers will avoid paying a $2,000 Obamacare fine for each employee they do not provide health insurance to.
"In addition, non-government free market health insurance exchanges already exist without government control or taxpayer subsidy. For those people looking for health insurance on the internet, you can go to HealthCare.com, IndividualHealthQuotes.com, and HealthInsuranceSort.com to name a few. Millions of people have purchased their health insurance using these and other sites.
"I praise Governor Walker for his leadership and good judgment."

Princeton researchers moderate chat on single dads
Posted November 22, 2000; 09:53 p.m.
postdoctoral fellows in Princeton's Center for Research on Child Wellbeing will moderate a weeklong online chat about single fathers beginning Monday, Nov. 27.
Marcia J. Carlson and W. Bradford Wilcox will moderate the discussion about challenges facing single fathers and the policies and programs that can help them stay connected to their children. The chat is sponsored by Connect for Kids, an online publication of the Benton Foundation.
To participate, visit Connect For Kids and log in.
Recent findings by researchers at the Center for Research on Child Wellbeing have shattered myths about unmarried parents and single fathers. For example, their research shows that despite common perceptions to the contrary, most single dads want to play a role in raising their children.
Connect for Kids is an award-winning multimedia project of the Benton Foundation. The foundation works to shape the emerging communications environment in the public interest and bridge the worlds of philanthropy, public policy and community action.

gilbou: Enjoy the cb500. My first bike was a 1982 CB750. It was a wonderful bike once I realized that the front brake fluid had never been changed. This was a problem since the bike was 20 years old when I bought it. I currently have a 1997 VFR. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it in Chicago since the streets suck and the traffic is horrible. It is nice to have a way to get around while my wife is at work with the car.
nutella: No rush, whenever you have a lull at work.
I got the schemers guide and have been learning scheme. I used LISP a little bit a while ago. I think the treatment of generators is really cool. Unfortunately, it doesn't talk about IO at all. My typical toy project to learn a language is to write a simple webserver and template language in it. I think I would like to do this in LISP/SCHEME. Unfortunately, I still haven't found anything good on IO. I know how to use (read) and some of the (with-open-file) stuff, but unfortunately, HTTP requests typically aren't sent as lists making read useless, and character IO is a pain. I guess I will start writing a more usable IO toolkit. Does anyone have any other suggestions on resources for IO in lisp/scheme?
I went to my first mentor meeting for YCTP on Saturday. It was a really good experience. I enjoyed helping out. We worked on social networking. It amazed me how easy it was for everyone to talk when they were just relaxing. As soon as they started roleplaying with me in a position of authority, they stumbled and lost their words. I think more than anything else these kids need confidence in themselves and their abilities.
I also went to a resume writing session yesterday. It was very interesting to see the backgrounds and work experience. I always forget how difficult it is to write your first resume. I think most of them are off to a good start.

Fred Williams painted numerous portraits of friends and family over the years. In 1960, at the age of thirty-three, he met Lyn Watson. She recalls that they met at Sherbrooke where he was having a Christmas break with friends. 'They said they wanted a change from the landscape and asked if I would come and sit for a portrait. I did that in the afternoons and that was how I first met Fred. When I came back to the city he wanted to finish the portrait, so he said! So that was the beginning of it.'The portrait of Lyn with her red hair gently combed back and wearing a black shirt with a Chinese collar is simple and elegant. Lyn and Fred Williams married in 1961 and would remain together for the rest of his life.

An Afternoon with Tom Chapin
Original proposal submitted in January 2010
Event occurred May 2010
Website: http://eastgate.mit.edu/images/Chapin.html
Tom Chapin is a Grammy-nominated children's musician whose music is noted for its intelligent lyrics and inspiring messages, many with science themes. This one-time event brought him to campus to give a free concert followed by a reception.
Graduate students with children are sometimes overlooked in MIT event programming. Holding an event with top-notch children's entertainment brought together many graduate student families from both on and off-campus, as well as families of some faculty and staff, for one unique and inspiring event. The reception afterward promoted interaction between people who would not normally meet.
This proposal was submitted by the spouse of a graduate student as an individual (rather than on behalf of a student group). After funding was in place, she recruited volunteers and got help from various student groups and house governments to help plan, advertise, and run the event.
An estimated 175 people attended the concert and mingled after the reception. Comments collected from attendees after the event indicated a strong interest in additional events of this nature. This event gave graduate families an opportunity to connect with each other and to celebrate their contribution to the diversity of the graduate community. It also exposed them to the groups who helped with the event.
Weekly Wednesdays
Original proposal submitted in February 2003
Website: http://web.mit.edu/muddy/weekly_wednesdays.html
The Muddy Charles Pub hosts a diverse cross-section of MIT graduate students from every School, department, lab, residence, and affinity group in an informal setting each Wednesday. After establishing itself over the first two years of funding, this series is now funded on an ongoing basis. This is one of several successful Grant programs that are marked by inclusiveness, broad participation, and a consistent schedule.
Open to the entire graduate community, it builds community by providing a casual gathering place on a regular basis where all are welcome. A consistent favorite, Weekly Wednesdays has acheived broad participation.
This event has a very low cost per person, as the budget includes only chicken wings and other nibbles. Guests purchase their own beverages. Weekly Wednesdays has responsible leadership on an ongoing basis, and a permanent venue in the Muddy Charles.
Weekly Wednesdays allows people to mingle outside of a strictly academic setting. Attendance estimates are kept, which show a consistent strong attendance from across the Institute. Comments about the personal impact are also collected from attendees.
FamilyNet website
Original proposal submitted in October 2006
Website: https://familynet.mit.edu/ (certificates or login needed)
MIT FamilyNet is an online community where members can network and share information via the searchable member database and member-initiated groups and forums on a variety of topics, which include parenting, child care, English language learning, housing, health and insurance, employment, and educational opportunities, among others. This project accomplished quite a lot in its original funding cycle, and funding was renewed to continue and expand the work. This is one of several successful grants that create a lasting structure through which the MIT graduate community can connect.
Of particular interest on this site were features that allowed parents to meet each other online, and to exchange babysitting and other child care information. Through this online medium, parents and families form new connections.
The proposal included both professional programming, and substantial volunteer involvement. Issues such as security and usability were rigorously examined. Proposals of this nature should have a well-researched plan for implementation.
The networking and support that happens online goes beyond cyberspace to "real world" interactions that makes life easier for MIT families. Metrics include number of users, and frequency of use.
Science Policy Bootcamp
Original proposal submitted in October 2006
Website: http://web.mit.edu/spi/activities/index.shtml#bootcamp
An intensive five-day seminar takes place during IAP to introduce graduate students in science and engineering to the "nuts and bolts" of science policy. The seminar includes a series of lectures by the Director of the MIT Washington Office, Dr. William Bonvillian, on the mechanics of science policy and federal research budgeting. This grant was well-run in is first year, and received a funding renewal. It is one of several successful grants that are marked by an intensive structure, substantial content, and a focus on a smaller group of people.
Students emerge with a sharper understanding of science policy and a cohort of peers at MIT. Through the intensive structure of the event, lasting connections are formed between individuals.
Projects like these enjoy a well-developed program of events, a strong moderator/lecturer, and a team of organizers. There should be a way for individuals to keep in touch an continue the conversation.
The goal is to get people with this common interest together to learn and promote thoughtful discussion, and create long-lasting relationships. The success of the program is determined by participant numbers and other "vital stats," as well as the degree to which participants interact and keep in touch.

Binghamton University finalizes climate action plan; Plan outlines carbon neutrality goals
BINGHAMTON, NY – Binghamton University today released its Climate Action Plan, which outlines its long-term goal of reducing the campus's carbon footprint and enhancing its overall sustainability. Endorsed by President Lois B. DeFleur, the plan will help move Binghamton University towards an overall goal of climate neutrality by 2050.
Binghamton's plan fulfills the pledge that President DeFleur made to the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACCUPCC) in 2007, which called for the University to assess its greenhouse gas emission levels and submit a long-range plan to reduce its carbon footprint. President DeFleur was a charter signatory among the first of over 650 colleges and universities to sign the pledge.
To develop the plan, a group of students, faculty, and staff was formed review the University's operations and activities. The result is a series of strategies related to three of the University's most significant emission contributors: purchased electricity, on-campus heating fuels and campus commutes. After extensive review, the task force identified a range of feasible technical and cost-effective solutions.
These include:
- Enforcing LEED silver or higher standards on all new construction and renovation.
- Enhancing energy efficiency projects.
- Expanding solar energy projects and initiatives.
- Exploring the conversion to biomass for heat production.
- Lowering hot-water temperature output to improve boiler efficiencies.
- Offering incentives for car-pooling, including reserved preferred parking.
The plan also includes renewed focus in the University's sustainability education, research and community outreach activities. This focus includes enhancing sustainability courses and practical learning opportunities as well as continued efforts in research areas such as watershed conservation and solar power. The plan also includes continued community outreach efforts such as the Go Green Institute.
Progress on the campus action plan will be tracked using billing data and measurements for areas such as purchased electricity, renewable energy credits, etc. The University will also track progress made in the areas of education, research and community outreach.

Do you know what's even higher up the moronic scale than babykinis? Pole dancing for children.
Canadian dance studio Twisted Grip has announced it's going to offer a regular Saturday class called "Little Spinners pole-dancing lessons", and its owner Kristy Craig wonders: Why the disapproving looks, everybody?
"There is nothing provocative. There is nothing sexual about it... It's pure fitness and strength and fun. I mean, kids love climbing trees. They will climb anything," she said.
"Do you see anything provocative going on here? Because there isn't. This is strictly about fitness."
She's right, of course. There is nothing sexual about stripper poles at all. Especially not according to her website, which promises, "Your muscles and libido will be on fire the next day, guaranteed."
To be clear: I have no strong feelings about adult women spinning around poles in the name of fitness and faux liberation, if that's their bag. They're old enough to know what it represents and to ignore that accordingly. (Even if, as social commentator Ryan Gosling said in Crazy Stupid Love, "We won [the battle of the sexes] when women started pole dancing for fitness.")
But little girls - that's different. If little girls were all suspended in a bubble high above the earth where no cultural connotations or expectations could touch their malleable brains - and a long metal pole was therefore just a long metal pole - I might relax a bit. I might also wish I were tiny again, just for a minute, because OMG floating in the clouds like Carebears.
But I'm pretty sure that's not the case. That is, I'm pretty sure little girls are walking around with the rest of us and know full well what's expected of them. What they should do and how they should look and act to be a woman.
Alas, Kristy Craigs are popping up all over the show:
Last year, London studio Make Me Fabulous offered pole dancing classes to children as young as three. "The girls love it. But it's not a wise idea to announce at school that you let your children pole dance," said one mother, whose daughters aged three and five both joined.
In Scotland, the Up Yer Pole studio accepts girls of six.
And in 2010, another Canadian pole dance instructor - Tammy Morris - offered classes to girls of five. Also president of the Canadian Pole Fitness Association, she said: "The kids just love it. They have no association with it or think there is anything wrong or bad about it. That's an adult putting that on them." Her classes were called Bellylicious, Sexy Flexy, Pussycat Dawls and Promiscuous Girls.
Sorry, I have to go now. My brain just exploded.

Navy Leading Charge Against Climate Change, Region's Biggest Threat, Says Pacific Commander
Posted On March 13, 2013 by Guest Blogger
Everyday we prepare for things based on forecasts – or what you expect will happen. You bring an umbrella if there might be rain. You put on sunscreen, even though you're not sunburned yet. Now take that idea and expand it by $510 million and the 900,000 sailors, marines and civilians in the Department of the Navy.
Just last week, The Boston Globe's Bryan Bender reported on the commander of the U.S. Pacific Command Admiral Samuel J. Locklear III's comments that climate change is the "biggest long-term security threat" for the region, saying it "is probably the most likely thing that is going to happen . . . that will cripple the security environment, probably more likely than the other scenarios we all often talk about."

Well, the Jedi Council and Geonosian War Room sets look perfect! I'm really excited to get these.
I threw out a lot of choices of which all of them I'd want to see happen. However, I'm voting for the Hoth set, because I'd like to see General Riekeen, Torryn Farr, and Major Derlin, and this would be the most intelligent way to release them. It's one of the last ways The Empire Strikes Back can have a screen scene with all new figures, too - the bounty hunters have been offered a lot of ways, and some dudes I want, like General Veers, could be made cool enough to sell carded anyway. Sure Riekeen could also sell on a card, but this way we get some of his more obscure command crew. "So hey Sammy, what do you think about that?"
What are you guys MOST hoping for next from the screen scene department?

Add this to the list of things I learned last week: Liam and Chris Hemsworth are brothers. Though I'd heard both their names floating around in relation to upcoming projects, I didn't connect the dots until just now. Although these two hunky Australian boys are seven years apart, their careers have been intertwined for quite some time… enough that we're clearing up a few questions about their well-known roles and romances.

Makeup, Bowling Balls, and Other Toxic Products You UseThe EPA wants to classify coal ash as hazardous waste—and you can find it in your home, backyard, and medicine cabinet.
Every year, coal-fired power plants generate about 130 million tons of coal ash—leftover sludge containing arsenic, mercury, and lead. The industry recycles around 55 million tons of the stuff annually, sticking it into a variety of products, from cement to cosmetics. No wonder it wasn't too happy about an EPA proposal to classify coal ash as hazardous waste. Here's where you can find recycled coal ash, in order of increasing creepiness.

Anderson Cooper implied that the founders didn't want to get rid of slavery siting as an example that George Washington owned slaves. Washington did own slaves but he knew it was wrong and wanted to abolish slavery just couldn't survive without them. Economics locked farmers into needing slave labor because they were competing with other farmers that also had slaves. In 1769 he sponsored a bill that would forbid further importation of new slaves. In his will all of his slaves were given there freedom and during their time with him his humane policies toward them nearly ruined him financially. Bottom line is he did want to abolish slavery. maybe Anderson Cooper is the one that needs a history lesson.


text: I had the same problem with my pup and she also did the panacur and had her on a bland diet during the treatment. She gave me a few suggestions on dog foods such as hypo-allergenic foods (trout & sweet potato or venison & sweet potato) I did have her on lamb & rice but switched her to chicken and rice(grain-free) . I had read that some labs have a sensitivity to lamb. Not sure how true that is but she eventually did firm up. Good luck.

GENIUS--congrats to you and your husband.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
GENIUS--congrats to you and your husband.
That is sew cool. Which I had a room big enough for one.
That was a wonderful wonderful idea. and your quilts are just beautiful even unfinished. thx for sharing your idea
SMILE- it will make everyone wonder what you are up to.
Stay strong and keep looking up.
Love that design. I also love your T pattern. The colors are great. That's on on my ever growing to do list.
That is an awesome design wall.
Love it, I wish I had room for one like that. Always need more since we always seam to work on multiple projects at once. You have the problem solved!
Wow, that is so neat. I bookmarked your blog for future reference.
Everyone is born right handed, only the gifted overcome it.
I have already committed my felonies, so people don't have to worry. (Russell Means)
I swear to you, I am guilty of only being Indian. That's why I am here. (Leonard Peltier)
Marcia, what a great design wall. I think this idea might just catch on. Your DH is so very creative and talented.
Love all your works in progress too!
no act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. Aesop
I would love to see a picture of it.
wonderful wall.. I don't have enough room to swing one out like that. Mine is a sheet of insulation board cut in half and hinged with duct tape so I can have a narrow one or open it for when I need wider. Not real pretty but it works for me.

G1570, Estimating Residue: Line Transect Method

Missouri producers have chosen conservation tillage as part of their conservation compliance plans. Conservation tillage means leaving 30 percent or more of the ground surface covered with residue — measured immediately after planting.
The line transect method is a quick and effective method to estimate the amount of residue present on the soil surface. All that is necessary is a 100-foot measuring tape (options using 50-foot tape are also provided in this publication).
The basic steps in determining the residue cover of a field by the line transect method are:
Lay out the 100-foot tape measure across the crop rows at a 45-degree diagonal to the row direction (Figure 1). Both ends should be anchored in a row.
Walk along the measuring tape and look straight down at each 1-foot mark. As you look down, always choose the same side of the tape, to be consistent.
Count the number of times that a piece of crop residue intersects the tape measure at the 1-foot mark (Figure 1).
Figure 1Lay out a 100-foot tape measure across crop rows at a 45-degree diagonal. Anchor both ends in a row. Look straight down at each 1-foot mark, always choosing the same side of the tape. Count the number of times that a piece of crop residue intersects the tape measure at one of the 1-foot marks. Example: the 1-, 3-, 8- and 9-foot markers have residue, while the 2-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- and 10-foot markers do not have residue.
This will require some judgment calls. To decide whether the residue intersects the mark, ask yourself this: If a raindrop falls at this point on the tape, will it hit crop residue or bare soil? If you have any doubt whether the point intersects residue, or if the piece of residue looks too small to intercept a raindrop, don't count it.
The total number of intersections you found equals the percentage of surface covered by residue. If 44 out of 100 foot-marks intersect residue, then you have 44 percent residue coverage in this area of the field.
Repeat the measuring procedure five times in each field and average the results to arrive at an estimate of soil cover for the entire field.
If a 50-foot tape is used, there are two ways to calculate residue:
For example, if 12 out of a total of 50 points are intersected by residue:

BARKLEY: Obviously I feel sorry that young kid got killed but just judging by the evidence, I don't think that guy should have went to jail the rest of his life. Something happened bad that night, obviously.
BARTIROMO: I like what the juror said, they both should have walked away. And if there is a shadow of a doubt, there is a shadow of a doubt.
BARKLEY: And let me tell you, Mr. Zimmerman was wrong to pursue -- he was racial profiling. I think Trayvon Martin, God rest his soul, I think he did flip the switch and started beating the hell out of Mr. Zimmerman. But it was just a bad situation. And like I said, the main thing I feel bad for, it gives every black and white person who is racist a platform to vent their ignorance.
That's the thing that bothers me the most because I watched this trial closely and I watch all these people are television talking about it. A lot of people have a hidden agenda. You know, they want their racist views, whether they are white or black --
BARTIROMO: The bias comes out.
BARKLEY: The bias, it definitely comes out. It was a bad situation, we all lost. And I feel bad for his parents. You don't ever want to see anybody lose a kid. (CNBC Closing Bell, July 18, 2013)
it gives every black and white person who is racist a platform to vent their ignorance.
they both should have walked away.
Um what
ignorant White people
There are a lot of folks here
Also, is this code for "you people"?
How about all these black thugs quit being black thugs and then we'll stop profiling and stereotyping
The vast majority here in the other thread agreed with everything Barkley said and thought he hit the nail on the head.
I wish people would shut up claiming he racially profiled. Maybe he did and maybe he didn't, but people profile for an effin reason. How about all these black thugs quit being black thugs and then we'll stop profiling and stereotyping. Stereotypes are stereotypes for a reason. Quit thugging and we'll quit seeing you as thugs.
I'm not so sure about that. There doesn't seem to be much empathy for the Martins on this board IMO.

Asia and the Pacific: World Humanitarian Day celebrations across the region
6 September, 2012
The World Humanitarian Day (WHD) 2012 campaign is being hailed as the most successful yet due to its massive social outreach, which resonated in the world's most disaster-prone region: Asia and the Pacific.
This year's campaign, which was launched in advance of WHD (19 August), made social media history by sharing more than 1 billion messages of hope, and encouraging people to do something good for someone else under the theme "People Helping People".
International superstar Beyoncé and Grammy-winning song writer Diane Warren donated the song, "I Was Here," to the campaign, encouraging everyone to do something good for someone else. Every year, WHD honors those who have lost their lives in humanitarian service, and those who continue to bring assistance and relief to millions.
This year's WHD campaign asked people to mark their good deed on a global interactive map. Thousands of people around the world have now done so, adding their location and a description of their action, and promoting it via social media to inspire others.
"The response has been overwhelming, with six pins being dropped every minute on the map. In the first 24 hours, more than 10,000 people had contributed," said David Ohana, the WHD Campaign Coordinator. Pins have appeared all across Asia, with strong support in Australia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand.
An unexpected source of social media activity was the Chinese-language microblogging site, Weibo, which is a hybrid of Twitter and Facebook and one of the most popular sites in China. More than 160 million people were reached through the UN account on Weibo, and the campaign videos were viewed 300,000 times on three major video-sharing websites in China.
With the help of UN agencies in China, high-profile actors, journalists, moderators, writers and Olympic gold medalists from the Chinese community encouraged their followers to make their voices heard, and more than 60,000 Weibo users supported the campaign by reposting the messages.
"It is truly inspiring to see a simple message like 'People Helping People' resonate globally, and lead to acts of genuine kindness," said Oliver Lacey-Hall, the Head of OCHA's Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.
In addition to the social media campaign, countries across Asia and the Pacific hosted events to commemorate the day. In Myanmar, more than 170 representatives from national and international non-governmental organizations, UN agencies and the Government commemorated the day with a photo exhibition of humanitarian work in the country and a performance by a youth choir.
In Sri Lanka, the UN Secretary-General's message was read in English, Tamil and Sinhala at an event commemorating humanitarian workers who lost their lives while helping the people of Sri Lanka. One OCHA staff member organised food deliveries to ten families in Colombo Fort through her local Rotary Club as a way of making a difference in her community.
Bangladesh commemorated the day on 29 August with a theatre performance organised for schools in Faridpur. In Thailand, the World Humanitarian Day music video was shown in cinemas.
There were also numerous events held in Australia, including a lunch for the homeless people hosted by the UN Association of Australia in Adelaide. They also organised debates in Melbourne and the National Parliament in Canberra, and the video was shown in public spaces in several cities.
In Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Fiji in the Pacific, a number of debates and panel discussions on television and radio helped to further raise awareness of the Day.

The giant fabric breasts clustered on the floor are the first thing you notice when you visit Raquel Paiewonsky's great show, "im propia," at Yellow Peril Gallery (60 Valley St, Providence, through July 14). The Dominican artist's Bitch Balls: Mentirosas are 12 beach balls upholstered in shades of creamy white and suede tan and chocolaty brown. The nipples are long and upright like traffic cones.
There are many breasts here, and lots of hair, as well as a few penises. It's the body disembodied, turned beach ball fun and sexy and a bit strange so that you can feel it afresh. With echoes of feminist and African-American art — in particular the sculptures Senga Nengudi made in the 1970s with fleshy pantyhose stretched, twisted, and bulging, in places, with sand.
"My work explores the relationship between our essence and our surroundings, the impact of stereotypes and cultural constructions, always taking as a reference our instinctual selves and the ways in which the primal component of our nature is affected by the new and ever-changing contexts of contemporary life," writes Paiewonsky, who was born in the Dominican Republic, spent the 1990s in New York, and returned to Santo Domingo in 2001. She has shown in biennials in Venice, Havana, and Panama City.
Paiewonsky is a touchy-feely artist — even in her photos. Or especially in her photos of naked guys wearing fake breasts or a strapped-on pregnant belly, and naked ladies with fake penises and hairy chests and armpits. It's goofy dress-up, but you get the tactile sensation of all that curly hair —or that long brown hair like a horse's mane decorating someone's crotch.
It's about the skin and touch that links us. One of Paiewonsky's Enlace photos shows a man and woman standing facing each other, naked except for a bra that stretches from her breasts to his outstretched arms. In another, the woman is costumed in a skin-tight suit made from men's underwear that resembles bandages; a tube of fabric stretches from her crotch to the man's crotch.
Muro is a 9-foot-tall wall of hundreds of fabric breasts in a United Nations of pinks and browns and creamy whites. So another thing you might notice here is race — and how skin color often has determined standing in the Americas. It might also make you think of "nude" pantyhose or the "flesh" colored crayon that Crayola renamed "peach" in 1962 as the civil rights movement reminded everyone that people come in many wonderful hues.
All these breasts seem to also be about motherhood — about nursing breasts. Many of the photos here burlesque notions of gender — with hair and swapped parts. It can be disorienting at times in our semi-liberated age when all those parts get all functional again and traditional gender reasserted as you talk about babies and mothers and fathers and the links between generations via biology and skin and all those messy bodily fluids.

As a young man, Salman Rushdie considered becoming an actor. But he stayed true to a more primal ambition and became a writer. Today the world is his stage, and ― although he may have wished otherwise ― he has become perhaps the most famous writer in the world. That distinction was thrust upon him 10 years ago, when the Iranian government placed a bounty ― a fatwa ― on his head after the publication of his novel The Satanic Verses.
Although some Islamic fundamentalist groups would still like to see him dead, the Iranian government backed away from its fatwa last fall. In the wake of that decision, life for Rushdie has become more relaxed, yet hardly casual. He still travels with armed guards. But even though his movements are still cloaked in a degree of secrecy, he moves more freely than he has in years.
In recent weeks Rushdie has indeed been on the move, publicizing his most recent novel, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, which was simultaneously published in 12 nations ― an act of creative (not to mention commercial) affirmation that clearly pleases Rushdie.
Even for this most protean of talents, TheGround Beneath Her Feet is a startling and sprawling novel. To simplify: it is a rock-and-roll story. To amplify: it is a retelling of the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. To sum up: its ambition is epic.
Perhaps the most succinct summary of the story comes from Publishers Weekly: "Ormus Cama, a supernaturally gifted musician, and his beloved, Vina Apsara, a half-Indian woman with a soul-thrilling voice, meet in Bombay in the late '50s, discover rock and roll, and form a band that goes on to become the world's most popular musical act. Narrator Rai Merchant, their lifelong friend, is a world-famous photographer and Vina's `back-door man.' Rai tells the story of their great abiding love (both are named for love gods: Cama as in Kama Sutra, and Vina for Venus)."
Rushdie's fame as a controversialist is, as he explains below, unwarranted and unwelcome. Before the publication of The Satanic Verses, he already enjoyed an international reputation as the man who, said the New York Times, "redrew the literary map of India" with the publication of his 1981 novel Midnight's Children.
Before Rushdie, the tone of Anglo-Indian literature was decidedly cool. There was, for example, the sensitive reserve of E.M. Forster and the stiff upper lip of Rudyard Kipling. Rushdie's prose is more pungent, his range of reference more polyglot, and his world-view playful to the point of daring.
Although I suspect that Rushdie ― who exhibits a sort of muscular diffidence ― might shiver at the suggestion, he comes as close as anyone in public life to matching Hemingway's ideal of courage: grace under pressure.

I am brand new to training a hunting retriever. My pup, Kimber is now 15 weeks old and coming right along. She understands all of the basic obedience commands, she is enthusiastic about retrieving her canvas dummy-I typically take her out for a few easy retrieves on land after work. She is going to AKC Star Puppy class once a week to be socialized, and we often go on walks through fields and woods and getting her used to water by crossing shallow creeks. I've introduced the gun from a distance while she is eating, and seems to not mind.
With all of this, is there something I should be focused on, introducing, or even avoiding at this point? My only sources of training research are "Training Your Retriever" by James Lamb Free and the DVD, Sound Beginnings with Jackie Mertens, and of course help from forums.
Any help would be absolutely awesome! This is my first time and I just want to get the best dog I possibly can, but also learn as much as I can for the future.

Nothing much to say... I've been keeping busy lately. I should release a new cgvg soon with a nifty built-in pager patch from a LKML reader. The cscope is doin' fine so far... just taking a short break from it to sit back and stare at it a bit. I got some new toys to play with over here, so life is good in that regard.
My hunt for the "SPARC Architecture Manual v8" is over. It's a book that's been out of print for a while sadly, and it describes the cpu used in all sun4m machines (like the SS4, SS5, SS10, SS20, Classic, LX, etc.)... which there are differences from the latest and greatest, the v9 (or sun4u, aka. the UltraSparc machines... which I already had the book for as it was easy to find). Of course, I had to poke and prod several places for it... even my favorite bookstore in Los Angeles, OpAmp Technical Books... and they had an order in for me but I was able to cancel it because of my good fortune. I just happened to stroll across the Sparc International webpage and noticed that they both had it available for download and even orderable in hardcopy. So I did this and it got sent... and *nobody* else had the book in print still. It is kinda funny, though... the book has the v9 book's cover, except it says "v8" and the ISBN number is different, but the backside text of the book and the cover photos are identical... so it describes the v9 book on the back of my new v8 book. Of course, I also ordered the "SPARC Technical Papers" book, another book that is out of print and I really want, which I might still get, but even then, the search continues.
Ah, but today is a good day... I'll be spending it at the Sony Metreon in SF, doing stuff like video bowling, eating sushi and watching Fantasia 2000. The funny thing is I've already done a night just like this one before, except last time it was with phil... and this time with Doris, who is much cuter than him (sorry, dude). :) This is, of course, to have fun and celebrate 4 years with her... the 4 best years of my life...
Oh yeah... and it would be a crime to not mention how much harold rocks. He totally rocks! Thanks again, dude! :)

Deeplinks Blog posts about Patents
As you head home for the holidays, perhaps passing through a checkpoint or two, take some time to think about U.S. Patent No. 6,888,460, "Advertising trays for security screening." The owner of this patent, SecurityPoint Holdings, Inc., has sued the United States government for infringement. SecurityPoint recently won a trial on validity [PDF] and the case will now proceed to a damages phase. So, unless the validity decision gets overturned on appeal, we'll soon be paying tax dollars for the idea of moving trays on carts.
A district court judge has issued a disappointing ruling reversing an earlier decision to require an abusive patent litigant to pay an EFF client's attorney's fees. Judge Jerome Simandle of the District Court of New Jersey held that, even thought the patent was invalid, the relevant law was too uncertain to find the case exceptional and award fees.
The Supreme Court has granted certiorari in TC Heartland v. Kraft Foods, a case that effectively asks the court to decide whether patent owners can sue in practically any corner of the country. EFF supported TC Heartland, the petitioner, at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and as well in asking the Supreme Court to hear the case. The petition to the Supreme Court became necessary after the Federal Circuit issued a disappointing decision that maintained the status quo.
The Supreme Court issued an important ruling today in the long-running patent battle between Apple and Samsung. The appeal involved some of Apple's infamous design patents on rounded corners. The Federal Circuit had ruled that Apple was entitled to all of Samsung's profits from the infringing phones. Samsung appealed, arguing that the law did not require such a steep penalty. As Samsung explained, if the Federal Circuit's rule were allowed to stand, then a car company sued for infringing a design patent on a cup holder could be liable for the total profits from sales of the car.

A quarterback that never completes a pass? Or a wide receiver who spontaneously fumbles his only reception?
Pat White
A quarterback that never completes a pass? Or a wide receiver who spontaneously fumbles his only reception?
the second round pick, of course.
Benefit vs. Cost
P. White without contest
Sorry about the spelling, english it's not my main lenguage. Thanks.
Pat White, no question about it. He was a 2nd round pick, Naanee was a low salary free agent pick up.
Naanee at least had respectable stats for a year. Pat didn't complete a freakin pass!
At least Naanono could block once and a while.
This all depends how you look at it. (being it's kind of asked 2 different ways) Did anybody really know what White may do in the NFL? With LN we had tape to look at, should have known what he was about. PW at least seemed to have promise in the Wildcat back then.
If we are asking worst pick up...then yeah, White and his 2nd round price tag. This title just says worst player though. In those terms I give it to Naanee. At least catch a dang ball. White wasn't hired/drafted to be starter, just a gimmick guy.
Now when the question then reads who tarnished the franchise more. yeah, it would be the PICK of Pat White, not White himself.
Pat White got a first down and at least one yard.

The Radha Krishna Temple
On 22nd August 1969, The Beatles assembled for a photo session, their last ever, at John Lennon's new country estate, Tittenhurst Park, a Georgian manor house set in 27 acres within the village of Sunninghill, near Ascot, Berkshire.
One of the photographs taken that day was used for the cover of their American compilation album Hey Jude. With dark colours and muted tones, it shows The Beatles standing in the doorway of what became known as The Temple. The name applied to the Radha Krishna Temple, the central place of worship for members of the Hare Krishna Movement in Britain.
When the Radha Krishna Temple arrived, Tittenhurst Park came alive with a new colour, the vivid saffron worn by male devotees that signified a chosen path of abstinence. The temple members opted for a vegetarian diet, meditation, the studying of scriptures, and the chanting of the holy names of Krishna.
The Tittenhurst Temple was a temporary base, and the devotees soon relocated to a site in Bury Place, in Bloomsbury in central London, provided for them by George Harrison. George later donated what became the movement's permanent home in the UK, another manor house in a rural setting, the one now known as Bhaktivedanta Manor, in the village of Aldenham, near Watford in Hertfordshire.
The name of the manor comprises two words, bhakti and vedanta, in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit. It translates as "devotional service to genuine knowledge of the Lord", and refers to the movement's founder and spiritual master, His Divine Grace Tridani Goswami A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
In Sanskrit, Srila means "learned", and Prabhupada is an epithet name that means "at whose feet all other masters sit." Srila Prabhupada founded the Hare Krishna Movement, known formally as the International Society For Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON), in the USA in 1966, and brought it to the UK in 1968.
ISKCON is the modern face of a Hindu denomination from eastern India, today's Bangla Desh, that dates to the 16th century, and is based on traditions stretching back thousands of years. Prabhupada
was the tenth disciple in his line, and the religious tenets he conveyed, and which ISKCON promote today, is a monotheistic belief within the wider context of polytheistic Hinduism.
For ISKCON, the focus is twofold: the worship of the one God, the supreme deity that is the "all-attractive" Krishna, and the worship of his female consort, Radha. The religion's principal text, the 5,000-year-old Bhagavad Gita, or 'Song Of God', tells us that "Krishna enchants the world, but Radha enchants even Him". The two are eternally linked, hence the Radha Krishna Temple.
Srila Prabhupada was 72 years old in 1968, and had travelled widely, seen much and written even more. His vocation had been to establish temples for Krishna around the world, and his London mission became successful like no other. Through the universal medium of music, Krishna's message of piety and harmonious living crossed cultural and religious boundaries in a most unprecedented and rewarding manner.
Released at the end of August, 1969, the Apple Records single, 'Hare Krishna Mantra', climbed to No. 12 in the UK, and prompted two appearances on the BBC's pre-eminent music show Top Of The Pops. The record was a hit elsewhere too, and did particularly well in Czechoslovakia and Germany. In early 1970, a second single, 'Govinda', became a Top 30 UK hit. The Radha Krishna Temple (London) album, containing both singles, followed in May 1971 and, like the singles, was produced by George Harrison and arranged by Temple member Mukunda Das Adhikary.
Radha Krishna Temple is an album of Sanskrit hymns both to Krishna and to the movement's spiritual masters. It includes a specially written song, 'Bhaja Hure Mana', addressed to the human mind — a reminder that physical life is illusion and that the origin and meaning of existence is not to be found on this earthly plane, but in the spiritual realm. This newly remastered edition of the album includes a previously unreleased bonus track, 'Namaste Saraswati Devi', which translates as "I bow to you, the goddess Saraswati," who is the Hindu goddess of knowledge, music and the arts.
The repeated chanting of mantras such as 'Hare Krishna Mantra' and 'Govinda Jai Jai' is designed to achieve the goal of 'Krishna consciousness', which means transcendent, or out-of-the-ordinary, self-realization. As George explained: "Prabhupada told me once that we should just keep chanting as much as possible. The response that comes from chanting is in the form of bliss, or spiritual happiness."

Red Knots: Calidris canutus
Red Knots Foraging On Horseshoe Crab Eggs
One of the most impressive migrations on the planet is carried out by little birds called red knots (Calidris canutus). How does a little bird make it so far? Well, it helps if you know all the finest dining establishments...like Slaughter Bay!
Of course, things can become crazy at Slaughter Bay, especially when the scientists show up with their cannon!
Recent work by scientists has supported how important horseshoe crab eggs are to red knots, but they also found out some unexpected relationships about how the red knots fare when they leave Slaughter Bay. You can find out more here http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=2843#.UIINdFR-Q3g

If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- How far do red knots migrate every year?
- What are believed to be the two main causes of horseshoe crab population declines? Explain your answer fully.
- How do the horseshoe crabs affect the annual survivorship of the red knots? Explain your answer fully.
- Why do horseshoe crabs coordinated their egg laying with the tides?
- What is the significance of it taking 28 days for a horseshoe crab egg to hatch? How could this have been selected for in the species?
- What effects may climate change have on red knots and horseshoe crabs? Think of both positive and negative effects as you consider your answer.

Revolutionary Anarchists Call for International Solidarity 15:35 Tue 04 Jun 0 comments
Last week a group of protesters started guarding action after some trees were taken down illegally in the name of urban gentrification projects. In the second day of the protest, very early in the morning, the police attacked the protesters heavily with gas bombs, presssured water and plastic bullets and wounded many protesteds. A spark began against this event of state terrorism and spread accross the country turning into a massive action and organized the big revolt. The public organized against increasing attacks, state terrorism and police violence and have been turning the streets into the area of resistance. This public revolt has been streaming for four days and is constantly spreading. [Italiano]

Greece: Democratization of information & updates 21:31 Sun 14 Dec 2 comments
The democratization of information has been an important aspect of the Greek rebellion. Students in the city of Patras recently entered the T.V. station "Super B" and broadcast their views and demands on the Greek political situation. In Xanthi, approximately 400 demonstrators assembled in the city center, briefly occupying the municipal radio station to transmit information; police attacked the people gathered outside and street battles erupted. In Athens, "Flash FM" radio was occupied to transmit information, but the signal was terminated. Athens IndyMedia reports that the Athenian radio stations 98 FM and 1431 AM have been liberated.

Greece: Creditors and States are nothing ... Jul 04 0 comments
Therefore there are not dilemmas. If the broader class, base, social movement in Greece can gradually and through perseverance and faith in the struggle to oppose resolutely and practically the confide of the lives of workers, unemployed, pensioners, immigrants in the hands of State, governments and authority generally wherever it comes from, and put into immediate operation and extend grass-roots structures like those cited above, this will be a great victory, a huge (re)starting forward, especially now, these critical moments for everybody - now that the masks have been fallen.
Greece: Let's go one step further Nov 11 0 comments
At the time of the writing of this article the ruling class is continuing to search for the "right" person who as "transitional" prime minister can guarantee implementation of the unpopular measures to be taken against the people of Greece, squeezing them once again and ensuring continuation of the most savage exploitation in recent history.

Greece & the crisis: Seeds of Hope Oct 31 0 comments
Kostas Avramidis of Irish Anarchist-platform WSM, piece, on current conditions in Greece gives a flavour of what is going on in one of the small number of countries in Europe where there is ongoing mass public action against the austerity agenda. He draws our attention to community campaigns against unwanted capitalist projects, where the traditional political system has been bypassed. Kostas sees this as a symptom of a rising political consciousness among ordinary Greeks, but he poses his own concerns if this will be enough to transform the plight of the Greek working class in a radical way.
Returning as Shadows Aug 04 0 comments
It is the people that have already passed the threshold between indignation and resistance that constitute this square which is trying to find other squares in order to provide them with the ground for locality in terms of resistance, claiming and creation, it is this square that brought together tens of thousands of people, it is this square that fought a tenacious battle in the center of Athens on June 28th and 29th. It is this square that by passing the threshold etches a new path and keeps the door of future and hope open for others, it is the social pioneer of the Greek society, it is the rival to the one-way course imposed by capitalism, it is the shadows that will always return through the teargas clouds

All austerity measures forced on Greek people since 2010 constitute a small hors d'oeuvre in relation to the upcoming tsunami of social poverty and squalor that will be served to them as the main course by the capital and the Greek government, the IMF and EU directorate.

We, the oppressed ones, are every day living days when the states make our lives poorer through their injustice, when the powers steal our lives through corruption. Today, what the war between the AKP constituents has showed us, is not only the theft of this government but also the reality that all governments would be thieves. Because beyond the governments, the states are stealing our lives.

|Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna
There were always rumors even before of Jessica Biel's and Justin Timberlake's break-up, after three years of being together. But always, and it never fails, that as soon as the reports hit the news stands, JB and JT are photographed holding hands the day after. So what happens after is that it would turn out that whoever made the break-up story is a lying bitch who is lusting over JT but JT never returns the favor. (Sounds like Lindsay Lohan, hmmm.)
And now, it happened again: Star reports that Justin dumped Jessica for a third party, who they say is Rihanna. But a day later, the couple were seen out and about together (see photos). This twist and turn of events confuse me. So what's the real score between these two? I say, BREAK UP ALREADY. Judging from the looks on their faces from these photos, I think they already hate each other now but choose to stay together because… Who the hell knows?

Kariudo wrote:Why?I Fight For The Users wrote:Flatten the hierarchy.
That's how the current layout is, save for Org Supported Contests and Video Editing Software. Part of the goal here is to clean up the board index, another part is to keep things visible, yet another is to group things logically. Flattening would run counter to at least one of those goals.
I don't see "maintain unnecessary complexity" as a goal, but that's what the proposed hierarchy does.
There is no need to separate AMV scene discussions from an Anime Music Videos board; a post about the former is perfectly on-topic in the latter, and a board without that additional hierarchy is a simpler one. People tend to use their browser capabilities (i.e. history, bookmarks) and forum capabilities (notifications) to come back to popular threads.
Retrieval and query can be addressed in ways that don't involve unnecessary, vague categorization, like curated tags or (better yet) not using a discussion forum as an information repository.
Kariudo wrote:It'd be a general name . If we change to "General [X]" into X, we'd have X appear twice in some locations (Category - Anime, Forum - Anime...same with AMVs when no contests are running) which comes across as tacky.I Fight For The Users wrote:There is no need for "General [X]". Seriously, what kind of category name is "General"? You might as well just call it "Other" or "Uncategorized". Move "General [X]" into X.
Then flatten the resulting duplications into the same forum, and eliminate unnecessary categorization. "Anime" is fine as a top-level board; "Anime Discussion" is redundant, because it's an online bulletin board system. Of course it's discussion; you don't need to put that in the title.
"Anime Music Videos" and "Anime" are not the same term, so that's fine too.
Kariudo wrote:I count on people following naming conventions as much as I count on people reading stickies before posting. I believe there's still value in maintaining the visual separation. It cuts down on the scanning that people experienced with a particular program have to do when looking for a thread they can help in. It also makes a clear delineation for new(er) members looking for help.I Fight For The Users wrote:There is no need to separate video software help by program; people tend to include a popular name of the program in their post title.
Permit posts in those forums to be tagged as program-specific; get moderators to maintain those tags. That eliminates some scanning. Make those tags selectable and you'll eliminate all scanning.
Your last point doesn't make a lot of sense, as the program-specific sub-boards are currently only visible as small text on the main index. It's much easier to ask for help in a "video software help" board with useful filtering than it is to go through a tediously small list of links.
Kariudo wrote:Why merge them? The sub-forum is achieving its goal in my eyes.I Fight For The Users wrote:Merge Org Redesign into the top-level Website forum, and grant me the ability to sticky selected threads in that subforum.
How naïve do you think I am?
The sub-forum has achieved dick. The proportion of people who seem to be interested in reworking this site to those who have actually commented on the active product remains frustratingly, hugely tilted towards the former side.

Garbage scattered on the banks of Boltz Lake prompted Wanda Hammons, magistrate of the 2nd district, to work with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, Grant County Judge-Executive Darrell Link's office and Jailer Terry Peeples to clean up the area.
Inmates from the Grant County Detention Center in the Class D program visited the lake Aug. 5 and picked up trash and debris, as well as mowed and did some weedeating.
Maintenance crews from the fish and wildlife are assigned to Boltz Lake and visit at least twice a year.
Three of the four city councils in Grant County will have new members in 2013.
Voters elected three challengers in the race for Williamstown City Council, failing to re-elect two incumbents.
The Dry Ridge City Council will have two new members with one incumbent not receiving enough votes to reclaim her seat.
In Crittenden, there also will be a new council member, but no incumbent lost their re-election bid.
Brian Linder is heading from the Grant County Courthouse to the capitol building in Frankfort.
The Dry Ridge resident, who has spent the past five years as magistrate on the Grant County Fiscal Court, rode a decisive victory in his home county to win the bid for state representative.
He will fill the vacancy left by long-time legislator Royce Adams, D-Dry Ridge, who decided to retire at the end of his term.
Linder received more votes than his Democratic challenger, Wanda Crupper Hammons, in each of the three-county 61st District.
The Grant County Fiscal Court heard arguments for and against a proposed emergency services taxing district Nov. 20 in the first of at least two community forums.
The pews in the upstairs courtroom at the Grant County Courthouse were filled as the issue of a new taxing district was debated for three hours.
"We're not asking for million dollar trucks," said Crittenden Fire Chief Lee Burton. "We're asking for the funding to do the job that has been requested of us by the people of our districts, by Grant County as a whole."
Sen. Damon Thayer, R-Georgetown, is looking toward the future after overwhelmingly being re-elected for a third four-year term.
In the four-county 17th senatorial district of Grant, Kenton, Owen and Scott, Thayer nearly doubled the vote totals — 35,343 to 17,926 — of Democratic challenger David Holcomb.
Thayer received 5,782 votes in Grant County compared to 2,594 for Holcomb.
Voters will be choosing the following in the upcoming Nov. 6 election:
The top race on the ballot is for president and vice president of the United States. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Democrats, are hoping voters will return them to the White House for another four-year term, while Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan hope voters will choose them to run the country for four years.
Other races include:
• Circuit Clerk - Voters will choose between Shirley Wilson, the incumbent, or Tina Beach Melton, her challenger.
Residents interested in filing to run in a nonpartisan race in the Nov. 6 general election only have a few weeks remaining.
The deadline for candidates to file is 4 p.m. Aug. 14.
Forms can be picked up at the Grant County Clerk's Office at 107 N. Main St. in Williamstown during regular business hours.
Frankfort - As Kentucky's May 22 primary election nears, the state's voters are being encouraged to use the state Board of Elections' www.elect.ky.gov website as a resource for voting. For example, the website can tell voters their polling place and the races in which they are eligible to vote.
Brenda Bishop received what she called an early Mother's Day gift May 11 as her late son was honored with a memorial highway in Grant County.
SFC Jason Bishop, 31, of Williamstown, was killed Jan. 1, 2006, while serving in Bayji, Iraq.
Bishop's memorial highway will be from the intersection of KY 22 to the intersection KY 467 on US 25 (Dry Ridge Bypass).
"When you lose one of your children, you lose everything," Brenda said. "I'm glad that Grant County is honoring him. They're showing him some respect."
The City of Williamstown is moving forward on construction of a new $16.6 million water plant.
The city's first step was to purchase 55 acres of land on Waterworks Road for $355,000.
This land is at the top of the hill from the city's water storage tank and adjacent to property the city already owns.
"It was the best location we could have had," said Williamstown Mayor Rick Skinner.
The city's current water plant was built in 1964 and has a capacity of producing 2.5 million gallons per day.

Dirs. Lars Jacobson and Amardeep Kaleka
AKA Baby Blues
Head over to Eye for Film to read my review of this taut, yet grim little shocker.
Cradle Will Fall is a chaotic and deeply upsetting film about a young mother who snaps under the pressure of trying to raise four young children on an isolated farmhouse while her husband works away from home. Going utterly berserk, Mommie Dearest (a thoroughly deranged Colleen Porch) starts offing her sprogs in increasingly grisly ways...
A sort of Flowers in the Attic for the Eli Roth generation, if you like.
