Every Thursday MPR meteorologist Paul Huttner joins Kerri Miller on The Daily Circuit for "Climate Cast" on MPR News Stations to talk about the latest research on our changing climate and the consequences that we're seeing here in Minnesota and worldwide.
These days it seems like we are witnessing climate changes unfold right before our very eyes.
It's not our imagination.
The nature of our seasons is changing. Spring blooms come earlier. Summer is more humid with a documented increase in extreme localized flash flood events…and more frequent droughts. Fall lingers longer. Lakes freeze up later. Winters are trending shorter and noticeably, measurably milder. New plants are able to thrive in Minnesota's milder climate.
We're all living witnesses to rapid climate changes in our lifetime. This is no longer your grandparents "Minnesota."
In 2013 at MPR we're devoting more coverage to the science behind and the growing effects of our changing climate in Minnesota and around the globe.

You can hear me discuss the week's top climate stories in our new "Climate Cast" every Thursday morning at 9:50am with Kerri Miller on The Daily Circuit.
Climate Cast for May 23rd, 2013
Tempting as it is to chalk up a severe weather event to climate change, the killer tornado that hit Oklahoma has no clear link to global warming, according to Paul Huttner, the Chief Meteorologist for MPR News.

Moore, Oklahoma: Ground Zero in Tornado Alley
Incredible timelapse of Moore, OK tornado captured by an Oklahoma City news helicopter Monday
If there is an "Epicenter" in Tornado Alley, it has to be Moore, Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma City suburb has seen 3 direct hits from EF-4 to EF-5 tornadoes in the past 14 years.

Jeff Masters has noted that the latest Moore tornado likely to be one of the five most damaging tornadoes in history.
The Moore, Oklahoma tornado of May 20, 2013 is now ranked an EF-5, making it one of only 59 U.S. tornadoes to achieve that distinction since record keeping began in 1950. The National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma announced Tuesday that their damage survey teams found an area of EF-5 damage near Briarwood Elementary School, with winds of 200 – 210 mph indicated.
There were no EF-5 tornadoes observed in 2012, and the last time the U.S. had an EF-5 was on May 24, 2011, when the Oklahoma towns of Calumet, El Reno, Piedmont, and Guthrie were hit by an EF-5 with 210+ mph winds that killed nine people. The maximum width of the 2013 Moore tornado's damage swath was a huge 1.3 miles. Detailed damage survey information in Google Earth Format provided by the Norman, OK NWS office shows that the typical width of the EF-0 and greater damage swath was about 0.6 miles, and the EF-4 damage area was about 0.1 miles across at its widest. EF-4 damage occurred along approximately 4 miles of the tornado's 17-mile long path. The damage swath from the May 20, 2013 tornado as it cut through the most densely built up portions of Moore was roughly 1.5 times as wide as the one from the May 3, 1999 EF-5 tornado. That tornado was the 4th costliest in history ($1.4 billion 2011 dollars), so it is a good bet that the 2013 Moore tornado will end up being even more expensive. This morning, the Oklahoma Insurance Department said the preliminary tornado damage estimate could top $2 billion. This would make the 2013 Moore tornado the 2nd most expensive tornado in history (as ranked by NOAA/SPC) or 3rd most expensive (as ranked by insurance broker Aon Benfield.) The nine billion-dollar tornadoes (2013 dollars) are:
1) Joplin, Missouri, May 22, 2011, $2.9 billion
2) Tuscaloosa, Alabama, April 27, 2011, $2.3 billion (not in SPC's list)
3) Moore, Oklahoma, May 20, 2013, $2 billion
4) Topeka, Kansas, June 8, 1966, $1.8 billion
5) Lubbock, Texas, May 11, 1970, $1.5 billion
6) Bridge Creek-Moore, Oklahoma, May 3, 1999, $1.4 billion
7) Hackleburg, Alabama, April 27, 2011, $1.3 billion (not in SPC's list)
8) Xenia, Ohio, April 3, 1974, $1.1 billion
9) Omaha, Nebraska, May 6, 1975, $1 billion
But is climate change a factor in producing more of these these monster EF-5 tornadoes?
Probably not.
Some facts:
-Oklahoma City has suffered the most direct tornado hits of any US city…at least 100 since 1890.
-Overall tornado stats show no real "frequency trends" to suggest a clear connection between violent tornadoes and climate change.
Image: NOAA
-EF4 & EF5 tornadoes compose less than 1% of all tornadoes…but produce 70% of tornado fatalities.
Image: tornadoproject.com.
-Warming trends in the US may produce more T-Storms overall, but also may create less wind shear that is necessary for tornado formation.
-There is some evidence tornado alley may be expanding northward. Annual average tornado numbers in Minnesota have nearly doubled since the 1950s.
-My analysis of SPC data for the past few decades shows the number of tornadoes in Minnesota has actually trended closer to Oklahoma. The chart below shows tornado numbers by decade since the 1950s. Oklahoma is the top line, Minnesota below.
Bottom line: There appears to be no discernible link between climate change and the increase in frequency of violent tornadoes in the US. There may be some evidence "Tornado Alley" is expanding northward.
Here's the NOAA "State of the Science Fact Sheet" on what we know, and don't know about climate change and tornadoes.
Thankfully EF-5 tornadoes over 1 mile wide are rare beasts.
Climate Central's Andrew Freedman has another look at how the Moore tornado fits in other bigger context of climate change.
Based on data from 1982-2011, Oklahoma City was the likeliest spot in the country for seeing severe thunderstorms on May 20. Tornado statistics show that the Oklahoma City metro area has had the most direct tornado hits of any American city, with at least 100 since 1890. That's according to the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., which is situated just down the road from Moore, and whose forecasters were forced to take shelter as the storm moved through.
Similarly, there is no evidence to indicate that EF-4 and EF-5 tornadoes — like the one that decimated a large swath of Moore — are becoming more frequent or severe. Such tornadoes are rare — they comprise less than 1 percent of the total number of tornadoes — yet they are the most reliable killers, accounting for 70 percent of tornado fatalities. The record annual number of EF-4 and EF-5 tornadoes occurred in 1974, when 36 such tornadoes scarred the landscape of the Midwest and Great Plains. Between 2000 and February of this year, there were 129 EF-4 and EF-5 tornadoes, according to a Storm Prediction Center database.
Disappearing mountain snow cover: An important indicator of climate changes
Mountains are like water towers around the world. They collect and store massive amounts of snow and ice, then give it back as water through snowmelt in the warm season.
Recent trends show a clear signal that high mountain snow and ice is disappearing faster in spring that it did 50 years ago.
Tim Radford from Climate News Network has more.
LONDON – Around 20 percent of the snow cover in North America's greatest mountain range has been lost – because of warmer springs in the last three decades.
Scientists from the American Geophysical Union and the U.S. Geological Survey report that they had established a pattern of snowfall in the northern and southern Rockies: when the snowpack was large in the northern Rockies, it might be correspondingly meager in the southern mountains and vice versa.
But since the 1980s, snowpack declines have occurred simultaneously along the entire length of the Rocky Mountains, with unusually severe declines in the north.
Climate Change Mitigation: What you can do

text: Guys, I am looking to upgrade my air filter to either a K&N induction kit or replacement panel filter. I have heard many stories of the oil from the air filter, getting into the mesh on the Mass Air Flow sensor and stopping it from working correctly. Is this a myth or has it actually happened to anyone here? Also, what are your opinions on the comparison between Induction kits and repalcement filters... Do they really differ in power increase or is it just the engine tone which changes? Cheers Dave.

STOCKPORT, NY — More trouble for a small town already facing an incredible budget shortfall with a quarter of a million dollars missing.
Angry Stockport citizens walked out of the town meeting as the town board passed the 2013 budget in less than five minutes.
"This is not how local government should function," yelled on concerned homeowner as he walked out.
The budget calls for a 309% increase on the water rate setting it at $7.50 per thousand gallons. It's water they say comes out brown and cloudy. "I've been drinking the town water ever since they put it in," said town board member Norma Kirker.
Murell said,"They are entitled to their own opinions. They have had four to five meeting to voice their concerns."
Murell says the increase had to take place in order keep Mike McCagg's job. The community has rallied around McCagg in support of him. However, now that he back on the payroll residents will get hit with a higher water rate in order to keep his position on the budget.
The head of the water department is also retiring and Murell says they need to set aside money for his replacement. Murell says they have yet to pinpoint where $250,000 disappeared to, but the audit that is underway will be completed at the end of November.

Japanese curryMay 5, 2011 – 1:05 pm
Super easy using the rue,
I had lots of ripe tomatoes since Hong Kong supermarket sells those veggies that needs to be eaten on the day of, for dirt cheap.
I got like 6 tomatoes for $1.
So, like my mom made last time I was in Japan, I put 2 tomatoes in the curry.
It makes it sour but it's really good! And I added bunch of spices in addition, as always.
And then the salad on side, is what I made up recently, to use the vegenaise that we don't use as often as we used to.
And the bean noodle that I always have so much of.
All it's got is the noodle, drained well, carrots and cucumbers, julienned, and mix vegenaise, sea salt and peppers and the secret flavor, soy sauce.
Very very good! ;)

Choosing a Preschool
4 Oct
If you are the parent of a young child, 'tis the season to be preschool "shopping." With so many options to choose from, it's important to identify your family's preferences and priorities at the outset. As a first step, ask yourself, do I need:
- A full- or half-day program?
- The option of extended days?
- A five day program or only one or two days of care?
- A play-based program, one that is more structured and curriculum-based, or something in between?
While each preschool's approach and schedule may vary, it's essential that any center you consider is licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Early Education and Care. Equally important, be sure to determine each teacher's qualifications, their education, background and how long they have been associated with the program.
But remember, nothing you can ask will tell you more than seeing, first hand, the interactions between teachers and children. Look around; are the children busy, happy, engaged and relating to one other? Is the teacher getting down to the child's eye level to speak with him/her? Are the facilities clean, well-lit and organized? Are outdoor activities built into the schedule? Is it a warm and caring environment?
Stories, arts and crafts, words and numbers should be part of the preschool day. But children should also have ample time to play. This is their "work." Play helps preschoolers learn how to share, cooperate, and take turns. Through play children can be creative, observe how things work and develop language skills. It can also be a time of self-discovery and for building self-confidence.
There are many types of preschools that serve a variety of children and family needs. A quality preschool should focus on the development of the whole child: cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. There should be activities, toys and games that help the child strengthen each of these skills every day.
Remember, YOU have to feel comfortable with the school, its philosophy, rules, philosophy, size and location. Trust your instincts. When it comes to choosing a preschool, parents know best.

BAGHDAD — U.S. officials said Wednesday that a military campaign in the stronghold of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has succeeded in nearly eliminating the deadly rocket and mortar attacks launched from the area.
U.S. and Iraqi forces have been battling for weeks in the capital's Sadr City neighborhood against Shiite fighters tied to Sadr's Mahdi Army militia. The U.S. military said at least 142 suspected militant fighters have been killed, including at least 15 Tuesday night.
American officials said the mission in Sadr City was to stop attacks on the heavily fortified Green Zone, the center of U.S. military and Iraqi government operations here. The barrages had risen sharply since Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki launched a campaign against Shiite fighters last month in the southern city of Basra.
"We accomplished what we were trying to do, which was to stop the indirect fire," said Col. Allen Batschelet, chief of staff for Multinational Division-Baghdad.
At least 697 rockets and mortar rounds have been fired since March 23, mostly from Sadr City, according to U.S. military statistics. The data showed that 292 struck U.S.-led coalition forces, 291 hit Iraqi neighborhoods and 114 fell in the Green Zone.
At the Baghdad division's headquarters at Camp Liberty, U.S. officials emphasized the distinction they see between members of Sadr's Mahdi Army (known in Arabic as Jaish al-Mahdi, or JAM in military parlance) and those who have split from the group, which the military calls "special groups" and "criminals."
According to U.S. military briefing materials, members of the Mahdi Army are obeying a cease-fire declared by Sadr last summer and are working to "avoid future escalations of violence."
Members of the "special groups/criminals" are not adhering to the freeze and account for 73 percent of the attacks that kill or wound U.S. soldiers in Baghdad.
On another front Wednesday, an Arab satellite news channel reported that a man suspected of being Izzat Ibrahim Douri, a former official in the Saddam Hussein regime who tops Iraq's most-wanted list, was captured by Iraqi soldiers in the northern part of the country.
The Al-Arabiya channel said the suspect was caught during a raid in the Hamrin Mountains.

In the news recently we have heard how personal injury claims have been on the rise. They are thought to be at their highest figure for a few years. Now, there could be a number of reasons behind this. Let's look at why there may have been a rise, and what it could mean for victims.
Why the Rise?
Success of Other Claims
Over the past decade, the process of personal injury compensation has skyrocketed. There have been plenty of cases of claimants winning and getting compensation. It's likely that this has led to an increase in the number of claims. There might have been cases where victims were unsure if they had a case. But looking at the success of other claims has no doubt encouraged them to pursue theirs. If you've ever filed a claim for compensation you may have been influenced by past successes.
Accidents Common
Another reason for the rise in personal injury claims might be due to the rise in workplace injuries. Now, there may not be more instances of accidents than in the past. But there are certainly more options for dealing with the aftermath these days. Many workplaces are understaffed or don't adhere to the correct safety procedures. And these factors can result in an increase in injuries and accidents. We all know how common workplace accidents can be. And there are plenty of other daily situations where you're at risk from injuries too.
You need to remember that personal accidents and injuries can be debilitating. A lot of people who suffer accidents develop serious injuries. These can have huge ramifications on their lives. So because of this a lot of people feel like they want to take legal action. A sense of justice is important to many of us. So if you've suffered an accident that wasn't your fault you need to get in touch with injury lawyers. Doing this will help push your case forward.
Huge Financial Implications
Perhaps the main reason for the rise in these claims is the huge financial implications involved. As previously mentioned, accidents can be debilitating. Think about it this way, if you're holed up in the hospital how are you supposed to work? If you can't work, you're not going to be able to earn money. So many people in this situation decide to file for compensation. They feel they need to be recompensed for their injuries and loss of earnings. Being out of work can have a huge strain on someone's finances. This can lead to strains on personal relationships and make home life difficult. There might be other expenses to cover with regards your treatment. Personal injury can have a big impact on your finances. This is perhaps the biggest reason for the rise in personal injury claims.
What This Might Mean?
Misleading Advertising
One of the problems with the increase in claims is the increase in firms offering support. Now, normally this would be a good thing. But the problem is that it's led a few of these practices to falsely advertise their services. This has led to a firm being set up to protect consumers from bad marketing practices. The problem is that accident victims may fall foul of these unethical marketing practices. If you want to file a claim for compensation you need to use reputable lawyers. Try to choose ones who specialise in personal injuries.
Smaller Settlements
Another side effect of the rise in personal injury claims is more cases going before the courts. The result of this is likely to be a reduction in the amount of money offered for settlements. Because there are more and more cases it could well result in smaller pay-outs. This may mean that victims might not be getting all the money they should be getting. The trouble is that from your perspective there's not much that can be done about this. All you can do is file your compensation claim as quickly as possible. You need to hire expert lawyers and make the claim as detailed as possible. That will give you the best possible chance to get the compensation you deserve.
More Choice
Because of the rise in the number of personal injuries it's meant new firms have popped up nationwide. There's a market for personal injury lawyers, so supply and demand is a big factor in this. There is now more choice than ever before for those who've had accidents or injuries. With the increase in claims people are realising they do have options. They're figuring out that they don't have to suffer in silence. After their accidents, there is plenty they can do. Personal injury solicitors are taking advantage of these opportunities. As such people have much more choice when it comes to dealing with their case.
Stricter Working Conditions
A side-effect of this could be that working conditions become stricter. Employers are going to be wary of health and safety issues. They won't want to get sued, so they will be going massively over the top to make the workplace safe. They might even retrain staff and make them take health and safety courses. This way it means companies are covering their backs in the result of an injury. You might find that your workplace becomes much stricter as a result. Many might look at this as a negative, but it's surely only a good thing. Businesses want to protect themselves, so in turn are helping protect their workers.
It's clear that personal injury claims have risen and continue to be on the rise. This is invaluable for accident victims. It gives them a chance to get the compensation they deserve. It seems like the number of claims may continue to rise over the next few years.
There are plenty of firms in place to deal with the claims people wish to make. Sure, there are some that may not be as they appear. But it's just a case of research and common sense. You may have had an accident or injury and felt you're entitled to compensation. So don't hesitate to make a claim today!

AS WE GO MARCHINGJohn T. Flynn Doubleday, Doran ($2).
While fascism's beatings, blood lust and bombings have been getting the headlines, Economist John T. Flynn has been burrowing deep into pre-fascist history for the story behind the headlines. His findings, as set forth in As We Go Marching, are a model of pamphleteering clarity. For onetime America-Firster Flynn strikes a deadly parallel between what happened in Italy and Germany and what is now happening in the U.S., provingto his own satisfaction, at leastthat it can happen here.

Watch Alice Cooper Perform 'Welcome to My Nightmare [Live From Wacken 2013]' – Exclusive Video Premiere
Subscribe to Ultimate Classic Rock on
Alice Cooper's new take on 'Welcome to My Nightmare,' premiering exclusively here at Ultimate Classic Rock courtesy of UDR Music, arrives just in time for the shiver-inducing Halloween season. The Blu-ray / CD set will hit stores tomorrow (Oct. 21) via UDR, and you can order it through Amazon.
The song is part of Cooper's forthcoming 'Raise the Dead: Live at Wacken' concert project, which he has said was conceived as equal parts horror and comedy. This new take on an old favorite is tightly focused on the former. Building toward a classic blood-curdling screech from Cooper, 'Welcome to My Nightmare' hints at a spiraling journey into madness — with guitarist Orianthi's fiery asides following every step downward.
Recorded at Germany's Wacken Open Air Festival on Aug. 3, 2013, 'Welcome' is part of a 22-song CD/DVD package set for release tomorrow. 'Raise the Dead: Live From Wacken' finds Cooper and his crack band mixing some of his best-known songs with covers of tracks by the Doors, the Who and Pink Floyd. A full track listing can be found below.
At least Cooper is scaring the bejesus out of you for a good cause: A portion of the proceeds for 'Raise the Dead,' which kicks off a series of Wacken performances presented by UDR, benefit the Wacken Foundation, whose goal is to support the growth of new hard-rock and heavy metal bands.

I took a drive from Helena to Bozeman this week to do a little sight-seeing. Bozeman is one of the fastest growing cities in Montana, and there are certainly problems that come with that distinction.
Exhibit A is the influx of big box stores like Wal-Mart that are becoming a bigger problem for the local community. The Bozeman City Council has been looking at ways to make the company pay for the economic and environmental costs it often imposes on its host community (for more, see this previous post).
According to the Associated Press, the Bozeman City Council "currently has a moratorium on any retail store more than 75,000 square feet in size" and the only way retailers can exceed the limit is by agreeing to fork over cash to the city government that is then used to offset potential economic impacts of their stores.
This commonsense policy seems straightforward. The only problem is, Wal-Mart and its well-connected allies have made the argument that the policy illegally discriminates against big box stores. And, as a new report shows, without a strong state or federal law empowering Bozeman and other communities to stand up to Wal-Mart, it's possible the mega-store could win that argument in court, and effectively undermine the city council's ability to regulate the company.
This quandary is a perfect example of why issues surrounding Wal-Mart cannot be wholly solved only at the local level. The company is so powerful, and its reach so pervasive, it requires strong state and federal laws governing its conduct and backing up local regulations. Montana is considering such a state law. Will Washington, D.C. politicians pay attention and follow suit, or will they continue to pocket Wal-Mart's campaign cash and look the other way?

Music: Animal Collective's Brian Weitz: The New Gay Interview
Brian Weitz, far left, and the rest of his Animal Collective band mates in a myspace photo by Benjamin Corrigan.
What if Charles Manson had actually joined the Beach Boys?
Though Dennis Wilson's relationship with the California psycho produced only one song, 1968′s "Never Learn Not to Love," it is easy to imagine that any further collaboration between the two would have produced something very close to the work of Animal Collective. The Baltimore natives are almost preternaturally gifted at melding pop hooks and noisy, psychedelic repetition until you don't know whether to hum the songs or carve them into your arms. Grass, off their 2005 album "Feels," has the particular ability to play on such a maddening loop in my head that Sharon Tate, even in her present condition, starts to look pretty cute. (Too soon?) That doesn't mean, however, that I don't want to immediately listen to it again.
Brian Weitz, better known as Geologist, is in charge of samples and electronics for the Collective, and also lives near Eastern Market when he is not touring or recording. Weitz was nice enough to answer some of my relevant questions about his music, some less than germane inquiries into his opinions on gay culture and some truly inane queries on his past drug use.
Animal Collective is currently touring behind the just-released album, Strawberry Jam, and enjoying a lot of press for their ability to make indie noise-pop so accessible. They are playing at the 930 club tonight. Doors open at 10.
The New Gay Zack: How much is Animal Collective actually a collective?
Brian Weitz: We have different roles in the band, Dave [Portner, better known as Avey Tare] and Noah [Lennox, Panda Bear,] write melodies. Noah does rhythms, Josh [Dibb, Deakin] does guitar and I do electronics. If you have an idea, and you're the only one that can hear it in your head, you just do it in the studio.
TNG: You live in DC, but other member of your band live as far away as New York City or Lisbon, Portugal. How does this affect your creative process?
BW: It hasn't been too bad. We've been playing together for so long that we can anticipate each other's sensibilities and tastes. We come [to the studio] with all these focused, produced ideas and we put them together. When we lived together we'd start from the skeleton, from scratch. That's the main difference.
TNG: You live in DC right now. After all the time you spend on the road, are you excited to be playing at home?
BW: I'm counting the hours. We're driving in from Chapel Hill, NC, and we have an early sound check, but after that I get to hang out with my cats all day and sleep in my own bed.
TNG: Anything you're looking forward to doing while you're in town?
BW: I don't really leave my house if I can help it. its nothing against dc, but I'm on the road so much. I love my house and my girlfriend. If you spend five or six months a year sleeping in foreign beds, you really start to appreciate your own space, especially after sharing it with six other people.
TNG: You grew up in Baltimore but live in D.C. Which city are you more attached to?
BW: I feel more attached to Baltimore. I moved here [to D.C.] for work, we stay here for my girlfriend's job. Baltimore and Philadelphia were the towns I spent my childhood in, they're similar in a blue collar sense, they're defined by their middle class. D.C. doesn't have a middle class, everyone there that would be is transient and intellectual and they have lofty career goals.
TNG: You're set lists can vary between new songs, old songs and songs being played for the first time on that tour. What will you be playing at the 930 club?
BW: There'll be a mix. Josh wanted to take a break to do some traveling, so there's a lot of songs we can't play because his guitar parts are the main element. We've reworked some old songs from [our albums] Sung Tongs and Danse Manatee in this formation, and we have ten new songs we've recorded since Strawberry Jam, we'll play those as well. We make the set-list twenty minutes before we get on stage.
TNG: What are some of your current favorite bands?
BW: I rarely get to listen to a lot of bands, we're around music so much that sometimes I retreat from it when we're not on tour. A lot of our friends in NY are still favorite, like Black Dice and Gang Gang Dance. I really like more mainstream pop, I've liked the last two Kylie Minogue records and Daft Punk is always amazing.
TNG: What are some of your influences?
BW: I don't have too many musical influences to just point to, I was always inspired by horror soundtracks, things that use unconventional sounds and textures as music. I'm interested in how abstract sounds can have the same impact on the listener as traditional musical sounds.
TNG: Your music is widely considered to be pop, but that is also the label applied to someone like Britney Spears. How do you reconcile your kind of music with her kind of music if they both fall under this same umbrella?
BW: I don't think they need to be reconciled. Someone like Britney Spears is referred to as pop because they are popular for the masses. Other indie bands, like The New Pornographers, are power pop. When they talk about that they refer to a catchy melody and song structures. When people refer to us as pop that's what they mean, its like you're not all noise, you have catchy ear candy in there.
TNG: Is it hard to be melodic and experimental at the same time?
BW: I don't know, we don't even think about it, it's just naturally what we end up doing when we make music. Only when we were younger did we try to sound like bands we looked up to, at a certain point we just said we'll throw into the mix everything we like about music. We're not really playing around with lofty academic musical ideas, we just do what sounds good to us.
TNG: Your band makes songs that could be considered stoner music. How do you feel about this?
yle="font-weight:bold;">BW: The way people listen to my music is up to them, if they're enjoying it that way, good for them. It can be a bummer to be labeled as a drug band, if we become associated with that people think we're on a lot more drugs than we actually are. When you get stuck with that label it bums my parents out. I hope my music appeals to people that aren't on drugs as well.
TNG: Pardon me for asking, but what are or were your favorite bands to get high to?
BW: I was a very together kid, I wasn't a total burnout, I got into a decent college [Columbia] and got good grades and everything. But we were really into Pink Floyd, The Dead, Pavement, Sun City Girls, Silver Apples, and a lot of European psychedelic music from the late sixties and early seventies
TNG: This is way off the subject, but as someone on the indie vanguard do you see any similarities between gay culture and indie culture?
BW: I've never really thought about that . If people pass me in pickup trucks on tour we get called fags, if you wear tight fitting clothes, if you're wearing something like a tie die, anything different, they assume you're gay.
TNG: As someone on the outside looking in on gay culture, how do you think it has changed or advanced in recent years?
BW: With the people I'm friends with, like Antony [of Antony and The Johnsons], or [Deerhunter's Bradford Cox,] or Xiu Xui, the gay thing gets tagged on to them as an afterthought these days. I think its kind of amazing. Its not like what it was, I remember the way people talked about Boy George, the gay came first before the music. With the handful of artists I've mentioned it seems like whether or not they're gay has been pushed as a secondary issue behind the fact that they are making great music, which I think is the way it should be.
First time here? See what we're all about... Get involved... Send us a tip!...

Independence Party still not planning Klobuchar challenge
Minnesota Independence Party officials have been saying for months that they don't plan to run anyone in the 2012 U.S. Senate race, intending instead to sit back and watch the Republicans try to unseat popular Democrat incumbent Amy Klobuchar.
But the issue was raised again this week, and Party Chairman Mark Jenkins was quoted by AP again saying there are no plans to run a candidate in the race:
"In my years with the Independence Party I've always seen the Senate race as a distraction from having our best and brightest engaged in state legislative races," Jenkins said.
Party founder Dean Barkley, who was appointed by Gov. Jesse Ventura to fill out the last days of the late Sen. Paul Wellstone's term, and who got 15 percent of the vote in 2008 in the Franken/Coleman drawn out Senate race, agrees that there doesn't appear to be a formidable party standard bearer for the race."
"I would have assumed that if someone was serious about it I probably would have heard about it by now," Barkley said Thursday. "I'm usually one of the first ones they call upon and my phone has not rang."
Of course, someone could come along next summer and file for the race without leadership approval.
"We can't keep someone off the line on the ballot," Jenkins said. "So to some degree we need to work to make sure it's not a complete embarrassment to the party."

Pope Benedict Delivers Final Address
A sea of pilgrims packed St. Peter's Square in Vatican City today to be a part of history.
They came to listen to Pope Benedict the 16th deliver his final public speech.
Tomorrow, the 85-year-old Pontiff will officially resign, making him the first Pope to do so in nearly 600 years. In addressing the massive crowd today, the Pope said although he'll no longer be the leader of the world's one-point-two billion Roman Catholics, he is "not abandoning the cause."

Every week I try one item and downgrade the brand, and this one week the item was Bleach, as I shop at Tesco, I have seen the Daisy brand, so I thought I would try the 3 in 1 Thick Bleach.
I always keep a supply of beach in the bathroom as it gets used what feels like a daily basis.
=Price and Availability=
I got this from Tesco and paid about 65p for a 750ml bottle. My bottle was the original fragrance.
This looked very similar in design to branded products. It is 750ml in size. The label covers the front and back of the bottle, the "reading" aspects are clear and easy to read.
The top is spouted and this has a child safety cap.
=The Product Claims=
What is the product supposed to do and does it do the job?
- Kills Germs and is useful in fighting in E Coli, Listeria and MRSA - without a microscope and science kit we have to take their word for it!
-Helps get rids of odours- YES - I can say it does the job no longer need a clothes peg for visits to the bathroom after Mr Thrifty
-Deters Limescale - YES - Have cleaned the bathroom taps with it and there is no build of limescale.
=Ways I use the product=
I use this for the toilet bowl, to help kill germs, get rid of stains (sorry that sounds like too much info!) the fresh smell does smell sweet in the bathroom
Use in plug holes - I pour some down the plug holes and the shower trap (we have a walk in shower and the plug hole gets so dirty and pluggy with hair). Leave for 2 minutes, then rinse
Pour down the outside drains to have some freshness
This can be used for many ways as a diluted wash - eg when cleaning the bathroom floor and the kitchen floor, window ledges, - The bottle recommends you put 60ml of bleach to 5 litres of water.
=Is there any warnings=
There are care warnings as to using the bleach, these are standard warnings, and are clearly legible, and are the usual warnings such as
-Don't put the bleach into another container
-Keep away from eyes and skin
=My thoughts=
With this being the original version there is no smell with the product, but when I use in the toilet it looks fresher, for other uses I have found it works ok, I have had no problems using it and found it did a good job.
=My Niggle=
The only niggle I have, is that it is described as a thick bleach, but compared to other thick bleaches I have used previously this is defiantly not a thick bleach
and is quite runny, so you need to take extra care when pouring out, as risk of splash backs.
This is a 5/5 product but the lack of the thickness loses it 1 star.
I have always used Easy bleach, but I am now considering changing to another, and these new caps on the bottle are a nightmare for people with arthritic hands, I appreciate they are for safety reasons for children, but I asked my 34 year old son to open one for me and even he had trouble, if these caps are to remain I will have to move on.
I never spend huge amounts on this type of product, but as someone who regularly has to keep toielts/bathroomsclean because of sticky messy fingers and the occasional accidents thanks to little ones on the house, I always have to keep a good supply of bleach in the house so the brand for me is never important, as long as it can allow me to keep certain areas clean and fresh.
I didnt buy this product myself, it was bought for me as an errand of mercy from a friend when I realised my supply had all but dried out, and was bought on my behalf. I got a pack of 2 for the cost of £1.00 ( it was marked on the packaging ) and it was in the original fragrance.
Very similar in look to other bleach brands.750ml in size.Label clear ( on front and back ) clear to see and read. Spouted top with child sagety cap that needs to be squeezed while gripped and to be turned anti clockwise.
What does this product supposed to do?
Its a liquid that is used for cleaning. Its supposed to:
1. Help get rid or odours.
2. Kill germs and is useful in fighting against E Coli, Listreia and MRSA.
3. Deters limescale.
Antonic Surfants
How do you use?
You can use this product in a variety of ways, such as:
1. Can be used neat around the toilet bowl to help kill germs and to get rid of stains. This will also help the area be fresher in scent.
2. A small amount can be poured into a plug hole. LEave for 2 minutes then rinse.
3. Pour into drains, neat, to kill germs and help get rid of any nasty smells.
4. Can be used diluted on surfaces and floors to clean and freshen. Ration of 60ml of bleach to 5litres of water.
Any warnings?
The packaging advises not to use on certain materials such as silk, wool, leather etc.
Dont put product into another container.
Dont use on baby feeding equipment.
ALLspillages are wiped up asap and rinsed with cold water.
Dont mix with other products.
Keep out if the reach of children.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
To be honest, its all the usual warning that you would expect, so common sense is only really needed.
How do I rate this product?
It does the job, I use it in the bathroom, mainly placed neat under the rim of the toilet and it cleans it and keeps it fresh. Its the original version so has no real smell to it, except bleach of course, but at least it makes the toilet smell clean rather than anything else..... Its easy to use, only disappointment is the packaging states its its very thick bleach, slightly disagree.Its thick, but could be alittle thicker in my opinion.
Overall, with the product costing just 50p each, cant complain. The thing that I really like is the fact it has the child safety cap, despite the cheap cost of the product.I have bought similar bleach like this in the past for the same type of money, and normally its just a screw cap, so feel alittle nore reassured with that.
When it comes to bleach, in my home its something I use rather often. My Mum was/is a huge bleach fan and I guess that, that has rubbed off on me somewhat and so I now swear by it.
Getting through so much of the stuff I am always on the lookout for a bargain when it comes to buyin git and tend to buy a thick bleach usually mainly for my toilet really and this I bought a bottle of for a mere 39p in my local B & M Store and usually buying a 750ml bottle (which this is) of Domestos if it is on offer at a pound a bottle this seemed a reallly good saving to me and every penny counts for most of us at the moment eh?! lol.
The Packaging:
Well I bought in this in the original scent though I am aware that this is also available to purchase in a citrus, lemon and a lime scent though personally I haven't seen those and this one was the only one available to me at the time I bought it. The bottle for the original version is dark blue with a red push on and twist lid/cap to the top of its angled head and on the front of it we are told of course that it is Easy 3in1 Bleach and that it kills germs for 24hrs and deters limescale, neutralises odours and is safe for septic tanks and of course that it is the original version is made by Jeyes. On the back of the bottle we are told a bit about the product (This is meant to kill all germs including Salmonella, E-Coli, Listeria and MRSA), we are told how to use it and given a lot of precautions and warnings are given, the size is stated (as I have listed already) and contact details fo the manufacturer are given. Nice enough and highly informative bottle this is and I do like the nozzle on the end of the angled head for ease of use to use around my toilet rim.
Using It:
Well it may have a nozzle to the top of it but it isn't only meant to be used for the toilet. This thick slightly golden coloured transparent liquid can also be used down drains, in and on sinks and basins and on floors and surfaces. I also use this for cleaning my ceramic tiles down and little odd jobs such as that.
Like all bleach I have to be very mindful of my clothes as this will take the colour out if it comes into contact with them, so do be aware of that of course!
This has a very strong 'original' smell to it. I have no idea what it smells of really but it isn't floral or fruity ust clean smelling really and rather chemically and when in use I do have to open my windows close to where I am as it does settle on my chest and make my breathing feel like its struggling a bit. I also wear gloves with this as like other bleaches it does make my hands really sore if it comes into contact with my skin.
Just yesterday I have been using this! My ceramic sink was mucky so I used this neat on a cloth and wiped around it and then rinsed it off thoroughly. It brought my taps up lovely and shiny and removed the bits of toothpaste that were living in the sink. This I find removes rusty marks from the side of my sink too which happens when I leave my cheap jewellery on there which I do often. I tipped a lot of it down the plughole in my bath as I feel that the water is running out of it too slowly and I may have a blockage and shoved some up the rim of my toilet to make sure its germ free and I use it to clean my seat neat with and in the bowl.
I also wiped down my kitchen surfaces with it and had a candle stain from a red candle that dripped wax down my ceramic tiled shelf on my kitchen window and all I did was squirt a little out, left it for a couple of minutes and then went and wiped it off and the stain came off with it.
I have used this diluted on my laminate floors and allsorts and basically if your familiar with any bleach this is simply the same stuff though probably cheaper and can be used for all types of tasks.
Do I recommend this? Absolutely yes...I do. A little of it goes a very long way indeed, its a multi tasking product...just watch your clothes and skin when using it and wave goodbye to grease, grime and dirt whenever you want to and really easily!
Available from all good discounts stores, my local B & M stores always have this on sale at 39p a bottle.
This is a review of easy thick bleach. Its available in most shops i've been to and comes along in the usual 750ml plastic bottle and it cost me £1 for 2 bottles. The bottles i picked up were yellow and green, or citrus and pine fragrnace as the bottle described. Each bottle has the usual curved top for reaching beneath the toilet rim and the standard child proof lid.
The bottle says that its 3 in 1, aka kills all germs, cleans and helps prevent limescale and is extremely thick. It comes with the standard precautions and instructions on back of the bottle for using in toilets, sinks, floors, etc.
Although bleach is generally versatile for cleaning around the house i actually only use bleach for the loo personally. I am concious that bleach is not a very eco product, being a stanch eco and veggie girl, but i do cut a line at my usual not killing etho when it comes to killing germs and the toilet is always my main gripe. I have to say that i normally like to use domestos bleach in my toilets in my house and normally ecover products for the rest of my house these days, but having used this before when i used to clean peoples houses before i became pregnant i was aware of this product, plus when i went to iceland my usual domestos was not available for some reason, and seeing as it was on a double offer for £1 i thought none the wiser. Bleach by its very nature kills germs anyway so thats good enough for me!
Using it in my loo i was aware that the bottle said it was an 'extremely thick bleach' so took my time when squirting it around the toilet to make sure that the whole toilet bowl was imersed. The bleach was fairly thick. Probably not as thick as my usual domestos but thicker than some cheap supermarket brand bleaches i have used when given by people to clean their homes. The bleach is clear unlike the yellowy domestos or parozone i have used but i was able to see the whole bowl was covered. I normally leave the stuff to work for 5 minutes whilst i shower. I used to leave bleach for hours on end when i knew the toilet would not be used but i have since discovered that bleach kill any germs within seconds anyway from that wonderstuff tv programme on a few months ago that explained how cleaning products worked. Anyway, the fragrance as with all bleaches i have used domestos included just smelt of chlorine, none of the claimed citrus or pine fragrance, but to be honest i quite like the clinical germ kill chlorine smell i toilets. Its just gives the impression that its clean to me. After 5 minutes and the flush the toilet is left with the usual foamy water and it leaves the loo looking sparkling as any other bleach.
All in all this is a good bleach. Its thick enough to cling to the toilet and does the job of killing the germs which you ask for ot to do. I have since returned to my usual domestos since i have last been shopping just because thats what i like to use, but its good to know that i have a couple of bottle of this stuff in my cupboard should i run out of bleach in the future so would thoroughly recommend anyone to use this, especially when its so cheap compared to other bleaches and toilet cleaners.
One cleaning product that I cannot manage without is bleach, I seem to use a ton of it and always run out before my next big shopping trip so end up buying more. But I have noticed recently that the cost of the well-known brands of bleach have become more expensive like almost everything else. So on a trip to my local Iceland store one day I spotted a twin pack of this Easy bleach on special offer so though it would be worth a try.
The two 750ml bottles came bound together with a clear plastic wrap and cost just £1.00 which I though was excellent value as you can pay this for just one bottle of bleach now.
I was also surprised to see that when I had separated the bottles that the bleach was actually made by Jayes. I can remember my mum using cleaning products by this brand when I was younger and saying that they were very good quality so I was even more pleased with my purchase.
You do need to take extra care with bleach as it can be a very harsh chemical, there are lots of warnings on the back of the bottle to advise you of the precautions to take. Also the bottle is fitted with a child safety cap. This means that you have to squeeze the sides of the cap as well as twist it to get it off.
Now I know that some people are very fussy about bleach and have to use the ones that are very thick as they say they cling to the surfaces better when using the bleach neat. But to me bleach is bleach it all does the same thing and that is to kill germs and bacteria. This bleach did state on the front of the bottle that it is 'seriously thick' and using it I would not say that this is quite the case but it is not the thinnest I have used either. But to me this was fine as the only time I use the bleach neat is when cleaning my toilet and sink the rest of the time I add it to hot water to wipe down surfaces or mop floors with it diluted.
I have been very pleased with the cleaning results of this bleach and will certainly be buying it again while it is on offer. It works brilliantly when used neat or diluted and leaves no unwanted residue behind. So for clean germ free surfaces for a great price then I will certainly recommend Easy bleach!
I try not to use too many chemical products in the home as it's bad for the environment, and bad for my daughter's asthma. I can't use bleach when she is around, and tend to keep the house well ventilated when using any chemicals.
However, I have to use bleach sometimes, so when I saw this bleach, whilst food shopping in my local Iceland store, priced at two bottles for one pound I thought it was well worth a try.
I use various bathroom cleaners but after rinsing these off (As the warning on the bottle says- Do not use with other products. May release dangerous gases (chlorine), I like to squirt a little bleach around the lavatory bowl and around the plugs and overflows in the bathroom. Easy 3 in 1 thick bleach is ideal for this because it squeezes out easily and I can usually manage to aim it exactly where I want, without making a mess on the bathroom floor.
There is also a problem with bad condensation in my bathroom so when the little black bits start to appear bleach seems the best and quickest solution.
This bleach is made by Jeyes, an old and trusted name. It comes in a blue bottle with a red child proof lid. I don't find it easy to open myself!
The two bottles which I purchased were 750ml in quantity and last me a long time. The bleach really is quite thick so goes a long way.
I am pleased to read on the label that the liquid and its ingredients haven't been tested on animals.
It claims to: Kill all germs, even after flushing and to be effective against E-coli, salmonella, listeria and MRSA. I don't know how effective!
Effective against mould. I do find it has to be left on a bit longer than another well known brand.
Neutralises odours. Well, I would say it overpowers them!
It also claims to deter limescale.
As it's the original the smell is simply of bleach and quite strong. I quite like this as the smell allows me to feel I've done a good job cleaning, but as I've said, I open windows and rinse well as I don't think the smell or chemical content is good for you.
I would recommend this product as it does it's job adequately and is a good price for a thick bleach.
As it was coming up to Christmas the pennies were tight I was browsing in my local supermarket for some cleaning products because I was running low on few them, bleach being one of them. Away to the cleaning isle I went and there sitting on the shelf was a brightly coloured yellow bottle with the name Easy on it written in big, bold, blue bubble letters, very eye catching if I must say so myself. I picked the bottle up and attached to it was another bottle I thought that it might be a little expensive seen as it was a pack of two but when I looked down at the price that sat below the product it said that it was only a £1. £1 for a pack of two surely this wasn't right, but who was I to argue that surely it wasn't right so I picked up 2 packs (that's 4 bottles for £2) great value indeed.
Easy bleach is available to purchase in four different fragrances Lavender, Citrus, Original and Lime zest all have different coloured bottles to make it easier to pick out in store. The 750ml bottles are plastic and have an angled neck. According to the packaging Easy bleach is effective on all germs and viruses. There is a nice smell that comes from the bleach, but you can only smell a hint of the citrus, but it is still a pleasantly nice odour and just as strong as brand named bleaches. To be completely honest with you I honestly can't tell difference between a brand name and this cheaper version.
Easy 3 in 1 Thick Bleaches are also effective against Salmonella, Listeria and E-coli.
My over all opinion on this product is that I would highly recommend it to anyone I mean bleach is a thing that most people use apart from those that prefer the to make up the old method of cleaning products that have no toxins in it. I don't see the point in paying £1 for a 750 ml of Domestos bleach when you can get a product that does the same for cheaper well.... ok false advertisement here as you are getting one for £1 and getting one free or 2 for £1 if u want to look at it that way. I would rate this product 10 out of 10. Hope you switch to Easy the same as me look after those pennies and the pounds look after themselves EASY!!
I have just finished using the Orange Burst fragrance version of this. It comes in other fragrances but I have not tried those.
On the front label it says "Easy 3 in 1, New Thicker Bleach"
It also says that it kills all germs, deters lime scale and neutralises odours.
I have been using it for cleaning my toilets with the aid of a toilet brush. Mine was in an 825 ml container (including 75 ml "free") and cost me £1 from a "pound shop".
The plastic container has a child safety cap on it which is essential for all bleach products. When you push in and unscrew the cap there is an angled nozzle which when you then squeeze the main body of container fires a jet of the fluid out of it. This design feature makes it very easy to point and shoot accurately into the toilet bowl or on to any area that you wish to clean.
It says on the back that it contains 5% bleaching products. This I feel is a low percentage and it was noticeable that it hardly smells of bleach when you use it. If I had noticed the 5% thing I probably would not have bought it.
It seems to me, based on my usage that this is a diluted bleach product with some orange fragrance in it. I didn't find it particularly effective at cleaning my toilet and had to use a lot of it for it to have any impact.
I cannot really judge the germ killing or lime scale deterring qualities of it as I am not a scientist.
The fragrance was quite nice and did make the toilet bowl smell fresher.
I will not be buying it again as in my opinion it is just a thin bleach that happens to be in a fancy looking container with a fancy label and a fancy sounding name to it.
Standard bleach, which is far cheaper, would be my preference for general cleaning/germ killing cleaning jobs that require bleach.
Dedicated toilet cleaning products bought from Lidl have worked far better for me than this Easy 3 in 1.
I first came across this bleach in Pound Stretcher, it was quite cheap, (sorry not sure of the exact price) so I decided to buy the citrus fragrance as my intention was to use it to clean up the back garden as we have a dog.
Brief description
Easy bleach is available in four different fragrances which are Lavendar, Citrus, Original and Lime zest, and they come in either a 825ml or 2 litre bottle. The 750ml bottles are plastic and have an angled neck with "Easy" wrote across the bottle in blue writing. According to the packaging Easy bleach is effective on all germs and viruses.
Is the bleach thick?
When I first used the bleach I was pleasantly surprised at how thick it was when poured out, it was just as thick as any brand named bleach.
The smell
There is a pleasant smell from the bleach, however you can only smell a hint of the citrus, but nonetheless still a pleasant odour and just as strong as brand named bleaches.
First use
My first use was out in the back garden, to eliminate any bad odours due to the dog, once the back was cleaned all odours were gone.
I decided to use the bleach about the house and again I was pleasantly surprised, it was good at removing stains and left a nice clean fresh odour around the house.
Would I buy this bleach again?
Up until the point when I bought Easy bleach, I would`nt use any other bleach apart from the brand names but now I will buy Easy bleach for both the garden and the house as it is just as good. so yes I will be buying this bleach again. Highly recommended!!!
Thanks for reading
Lime Zest is the BRAND NEW Easy bleach fragrance, now offering Easy consumers even wider choice across the bleach category / Easy 3 in 1 Thick Bleaches are also effective against Salmonella, Listeria and E-coli / The original, citrus and NEW lime zest are also available in 2L bottles.

Early Voting Begins Tuesday, With Democrats Taking The Lead In Cities
Beverly Lloyd is with the Cleveland chapter of the Coalition of 100 Black Women and a member of The Word Church. She says the church plans to bring 1000 people to the Cuyahoga County Board of elections Tuesday.
"This year we have made an emphasis on having a choice and getting out there, voting early," Lloyd said, "so that we might do some other kinds of things, help others get to the polls on voting day."
Cuyahoga County Board of elections Director Jane Platten says the downtown Cleveland office is ready when it opens at 8:00.
"We have 48 voting stations that will be up and running, so we know that we can put a lot of voters through in a short period of time," Platten said.
Democrats rallied at Board of Elections offices in five Ohio cities, including Cleveland, last night.
Republicans, who in past elections have lagged behind democrats in early voting turnout, are making a concerted effort to get more of their supporters taking that option this year.
Unlike in 2008, in person early voting will not be held in Ohio on weekends. The exception could be the three days prior to Election day, if a lawsuit by the Obama campaign succeeds in forcing the Ohio secretary of State to allow voting on those days. A decision is still pending.

A bill that would mandate sex education in public schools was killed Wednesday by the House Education Committee.
The vote was three in favor and 10 opposed.
State Rep. Patricia Smith, D-Baton Rouge, pleaded with the panel to approve her bill to help combat Louisiana's high rate of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
"It is about time we think about the children," Smith said. "There are children being abused because no one talks about it."
Opponents questioned the need for the proposal — House Bill 369.
"I don't think it is the responsibility of schools to provide sex education," said Jim Crumling, president of the Acadiana Patriots.
Under current law, public schools can offer sex education but they are not required to do so.
Backers and opponents disagreed on how common the practice is now.
Smith's proposal, which has sparked arguments since 2010, would apply to students in grades four through 12.
The measure would require "age appropriate" instruction on human sexuality, the health benefits, side effects and proper use of approved contraceptives and lessons to help students "make responsible decisions about sexuality and relationships."
The legislation would require that abstinence be taught as the most reliable way to avoid pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.
It would ban any advocacy of abortion.
Students could be excused from the classes on the written request of a parent or guardian.
The associate director of the Louisiana Conference of Catholic Bishops, Rob Tasman, criticized the bill.
Tasman told the committee that, while Catholic schools offer sex education, it is done in the context of faith and morality.
He also objected to a provision in the bill he said would pave the way for schools to distribute contraceptives.
Smith said she planned to remove that section on the legislation and later did so through an amendment.
Smith said she attended Catholic schools, heard little discussion about sex but now lives in a reality of exploding rates of teen pregnancies, chlamydia and other diseases.
She said cases of pregnancies at the ages of 10 and 13 show "We have a problem in this state that needs to be addressed."
Debate on the bill spanned two days.
The committee spent about 30 minutes on the measure on Tuesday, ran out of time and resumed debate on Wednesday morning.
Smith said that, rather than encouraging teens to engage in sex, her bill would ensure that they get medically accurate information and hear the importance of healthy relationships.
The committee voted quickly and without debate after public testimony and Smith's closing comments.
The same panel has considered sex education bills for years.
In 2012 a similar proposal failed in the House Education Committee on an 8-8 vote, one short of the majority needed.
A few days later the vote was 9-9, with three Republicans joining six Democrats in favor of the effort.
The vote on Wednesday was a party line vote — Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed — with state Rep. Dee Richard, No Party-Thidodaux joining the opponents.
Voting FOR sex education in the public schools (3): state Reps. Wesley Bishop, D-New Orleans, Ed Price, D-Gonzales and Patricia Smith, D-Baton Rouge.
Voting AGAINST HB369 (10): state Reps. Steve Carter, R-Baton Rouge, Chris Broadwater, R-Hammond, Henry Burns, R-Haughton, Simone Champagne, R-Jeanerette, Cameron Henry, R-Metairie, Paul Hollis, R-Mandeville, Barry Ivey, R-Central, Dee Richard, No Party-Thibodaux, Rob Shadoin, R-Ruston, and Jeff Thompson, R-Bossier City.
