County pitches meals tax to legislators
Henrico County officials made their pitch for a 4-percent meals tax to the county's General Assembly delegation last week, telling the group that the proposed tax was their last resort to create revenue and close an $18-million shortfall in next year's budget before raising real estate taxes, cutting services or laying off employees.
Henrico lacks the authority to implement such a tax on its own, so officials want the General Assembly to grant it that authority, with the provision that the county's Board of Supervisors must unanimously support it.
A total of 204 other Virginia localities already have meals taxes, including 45 other counties – four of which were specifically granted the right to implement the tax by the General Assembly.
"We have evaluated all the alternatives, and this has the very least consequence," County Manager Virgil Hazelett told the nine delegates and senators who attended. "People will object – some people – but they will not object to police officers, to teachers [and other county services]."
Hazelett and Finance Director Brandon Hinton presented an impassioned argument to the Assembly delegation, recounting how in just their past three fiscal years, they have trimmed nearly $97 million from their total budget and eliminated or frozen 721 vacant government and school positions in an attempt to compensate for $84 million in lost revenue from declining real estate taxes and state funding.
The county also has refunded $317 million in debt through bond refinancing since 2009 and has weathered the storm without cutting services, laying off any employees or raising taxes, Hazelett said.
But a significant jump in the amount localities must pay into the Virginia Retirement System on behalf of employees looms large on the horizon, as do road maintenance and construction needs in Henrico that total $418 million but have no current funding source.
County officials have pointed to the fact that Henrico is the only state locality that maintains its own secondary road system but lacks the authority to collect a meals tax. (Arlington, the only other county that maintains its own roads, was granted the right to implement such a tax in 1990.) Locally, Richmond imposes a 6 percent meals tax, Ashland a 5 percent tax and Louisa County a 4 percent tax.
Henrico officials estimate that about 40 percent of all prepared meals purchased in the county are bought by non-Henrico residents, which would lessen the impact of such a tax on county residents. And unlike a real estate tax increase, residents would be free to avoid a meals tax by not dining out or by limiting their dining excursions, Board chairman Dick Glover said.
"A meals tax is not something we'd impose on them that they can't dodge if they want to," Glover said.
A 4-percent meals tax would generate between $18 million and $20 million annually, Hazelett estimated. He and board members told the Assembly delegation that they likely would not designate that money for any one particular use but rather apply it as needed.
Delegate Jimmie Massie wondered aloud whether it would be difficult to convince other members of the General Assembly to support a tax increase for just one locality.
Deputy County Manager John Vithoulkas, who will assume Hazelett's position in mid-January, suggested that the delegation could take another route by supporting the passage of language that would authorize all counties that maintain their own road systems to have the same taxing authorities as cities. (Cities inherently have the right to implement meals, cigarette and admissions taxes.)
Henrico could enact a meals tax if a majority of voters supported the idea in a referendum, but they seem leery of trying that route again after voters defeated it in 2005 by 153 votes.
Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson told the delegation that without the Assembly's approval of the issue, Henrico's would not survive unscathed.
"If you can't support a meals tax, then our issues are not going to go away," he said. "This is a last resort. A tax is going to come up or we will have to cut services or lay people off. We don't do that in Henrico, and we don't want to do this, but this is where we are. We need your help."

Western Henrico Rotary helps fund Midwives For Haiti Jeep
Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Johannes Martin Kränzle was voted "Singer of the Year" by »Opernwelt« magazine in 2011. His roles in Frankfurt during the 2013/14 season are the Music Teacher in Ariadne auf Naxos, Der schwarze Geier/The Dark Fiddler in Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe/A Village Romeo and Julet - both new productions – and Bluebeard in Bartok's Herzog Blaubarts Burg/Bluebeard's Castle. Guest engagements by this internationally sought after baritone during the 2013 Wagner year included Alberich (Der Ring des Nibelungen) at the Berlin Staatsoper and La Scala Milan (he returns to both houses during the 2013/14 season), at the BBC Proms in London, the Lucerne Festival and Klingsor in Parsifal at the Teatro Real in Madrid. He will sing Gunther in Götterdämmerung (a role he sang for the first time at Oper Frankfurt in 2012) at the Grand Théâtre in Geneva in 2013/14. Roles with which he has thrilled audiences here with in recent seasons have included Papageno, Paolo Albiani (Simon Boccanegra), Cim-Fen (Leoni's L'oracolo), the Herald (Lohengrin), Giovanni Morone (Pfitzner's Palestrina), Dandini (La Cenerentola), Jaroslav Prus (Janáček's Die Sache Makropulos/The Makropoulos Case), the Duke of Gloucester (Reimann's Lear, available on CD - OehmsClassics), Don Giovanni and Don Alfonso (in Christof Loy's award winning production of Così fan tutte). His enormous repertoire, more than 100 roles ranging from the lyric, cavalier and, increasingly, character baritone parts, has taken Johannes Martin Kränzle to leading opera houses all over the world and many festivals, including Salzburg and Glyndebourne. He enjoyed great success at international singing competitions earlier in his career, including those in Vercelli, Rio de Janeiro, Perpignan and Paris (Plácido Domingo). His opera Der Wurm/The Worm was very successful at a composition competition in Berlin, where it was performed for the first time. Johannes Martin Kränzle will be a Guest Professor at the Highschool for Music and Dance in Cologne during the 2013/14 winter semester. His latest CD will be issued soon: "Limits of Humanity" - songs by Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann on Challenge Records International.

You guys might enjoy this...lol
There was a local cop working a detail over here and he has a pro streeted 94 Camaro with a big blower sticking out of the hood that's almost level with the roof,wig wags hidden inside and the town decals all over it.It's pretty awsome.
So this was parked in front of my garage when I pulled into my driveway. I walked over to the officer and said, he you want to do a quick photo shoot when you're off duty?
He started laughing and goes why what's hiding in the garage, so I told them I had a 92 Mustang in there.
I fired up the Mustang and he goes "Hey you've got a blower too,why haven't I seen you around town" so I replied "I was hiding from yah"...LOL
So I pulled out the stang and we staged the cars and took a few quick pictures. It was allot of fun.
I sent a picture of it to Vortech superchargers, and said it stinks when your 12 second Mustang gets pulled over by a 9 second police car.They got a good laugh at it.
That's pretty cool, but why does a Mustang need a blower to be a 12 second car?

I've seen a cop perform CPR on someone who was horrifically injured.
A cop followed me into my parking lot as I was coming home alone late one night and lit up my doorway because the power was out in my subdivision and it was completely dark outside.
A cop helped me relax a little by making me laugh after I'd been very shaken when a deer ran into my car.

I have seen one take christmas gifts to a house after he took a report that day of someone stealing money from a single mother in the projects around christmas time.
I have seen various deputies save a number of lives......I did one of them.
Car 4I would like my country back. I used to believe that one man could never destroy this country. Not so sure anymore!
-On several occasions, after we drop off desserts at one of the departments, an officer will take home our containers and wash them out for us.
-Just this past week, a deputy saved us from having to make another trip and did a delivery of cookies to another department for us.
-And again, years ago, a deputy saved us a trip in foggy conditions and made a delivery to another department.
-Helped us get through my daughter's accident by offering to answer any questions we had (and she was at fault) and asking how we were doing emotionally. Very supportive.
-A Chief offered to do whatever it took to help my daughter and I go on a Citizen's Academy field trip to a corrections facility. (We haven't yet but just the offer of doing whatever it would take, stands out in my mind).
-Several officers getting together to raise money ($380) for an officer injured in the line of duty.
-Many, many more instances of officers willing to do anything for someone they barely know, no matter how small or how inconvenienced they were.http://www.odmp.org/officer/16551-de...l-eron-shannon
Police Officers put themselves at risk for strangers every day. Some do not make it home to their families. Next time you think of saying something negative about the police, remember...YOU are one of the strangers.
I've seen a Police Officer fish a GI Joe out of the sewer for a sad little kid.
A nice officer kept feeding me alcoholic drinks for a DUI wet lab and then made sure I had a ride home.
A Trooper sent his final report to me soon after he had concluded his part of the investigation of a workplace fatatlity I was working. (It was my first case on my own).
When we were in Beijing, we were lost and looking for a Science Museum. Our interpreter/guide was scared to death of the Chinese police, but we had no problems going up to a marked police car to get directions. Through our limited Chinese and his limited English he was able to direct us to the museum.Verified Libra- There sure are a lot of people born in August around here.

I watched a state trooper in a charger smoke a county boy in a crown vic while i was on my way home from the dragstrip. (im a mopar guy)
one time after a monster truck rally in the dead of winter. we were standing outside and they were packing people into the shuttles like sardines, a few officers drove up and gave rides to people with children.
when i worked for the DPW a city cop literally stopped 4 lanes of traffic to let school kids cross the street.
at my cousins funeral the day after christmas the police came out and stopped traffic because our procession was over a mile long.
i know the last one was asked of them by somebody but it still sticks out in my mind.
To the extent of asking for directions: Me, my aunt, and younger cousin were stopping in Knoxville to grab something to eat on our way back from WV. We got lost and ended up in a not so good looking part of town. We happened to see a KPD car and flagged him down and got directions. He was very nice about it.

This is one of my favorite threads here, and the following reasons are probably the biggest factors that lead to me choosing LE.
I was a young kid, maybe 6 or 7, living in a nice LA suburb. I was riding my bicycle with my folks, wearing a helmet because they always made me. An Officer stopped, and gave me a coupon for a free ice cream cone because I was wearing my helmet.
While at college, I was waiting in line at Chic-Fil-A, and there was a cop joining his coworkers in the line next to me. When he got up, the employee said "The lady in front of you is paying for your meal, and she said thank you." The Officer ordered, then laid down a 10 dollar bill and said buy the next guy's meal with this. The Officer didn't even think, just laid down the bill, and said that so quietly and confidently. I was impressed like you couldn't believe.
Because of these, I make it a point to do these sorts of things for the people we don't see very often, like the citizen who goes to work, mows his yard, raises his kids, and loves his wife. Ya, tell me the last time you talked to one of them! Over the summer I went into a locally owned sandwich shop to grab some lunch on duty. While sitting there 3 skateboarders came inside and had a seat on the couches, just enjoying the A/C I'm sure. I knew they weren't/couldn't buy anything, but they looked like good kids, probably 12 years old or so. Jeans that fit, decent shirts, etc. I don't know, just completely opposite the wannabe gang bangers I'm used to seeing here. I went up to the counter, and bought them each an ice cream cone, then as I walked out, I told them to go grab their ice creams. Their jaws hit the floor and I got a thank you from each one. I'm not saying this to toot my own horn (The cones were 49 cents each!), I'm saying it because, there is not a single other thing I've done at work that gave me as much pride in my job, my department, my city, and my badge than what I did that day. It felt amazing. Try it sometime, I'm serious, it brightened my entire life up.
I watched as two separate cops simultaneously ponied up cash for an elderly lady who had given her last $20 to a neighbor kid to go buy her a couple of grocery items from the corner store. When the kid didn't show back up, the two supervisors just handed her the cash, without even discussing it with one another, and in spite of her protests over it. They both just had the same thought, at the same time, and did it as if without even giving it a thought.
I knew right then that I had two of the finest men I've ever worked with as my direct-line supers.

one that i will never forget, i was 12 years old. just found out my grandpa died (was like a dad to me) and i ran out of the house a nervous wreck. it was about 1am and a LEO spotted me at the park and came to ask me what i was doing out. when he noticed i was crying he sat down next to me and talked to me for about 20-30 minutes. he then brought me home talked to my mom for a bit and was on his way. for about a month he would stop by to see how i was doing. maybe something similar happen to him when he was younger but he definetly went out of his way. i still have small talk with him when i see him around.
another one was me and my friends were playing baseball at the park and a few older kids took our ball. an older lady who saw it called the cops. when the cops got there they asked us what happen and left. he came back 10 minutes later with a bag full of new ones.
i cant just point out these 2 occasions though. by me they really try to be close with the community. they do tons of things with the kids which i think makes a big impact.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks and really love it!Blemish & Age Defense - 6/9/2014 5:56:43 PM Excellent serum! Even after a week of use it makes my skin feel great. I'm not sure about the wrinkles, but it certainly helps clear up blemishes. I've been using it for a while; it's a must buy!A must - 6/7/2014 9:15:28 AM I am currently using retinol from the same brand and living in miami requires extra protection.

Use it before your moisturizer and it hydrates as promised. I have seen an improvement in the suppleness of my skin. Love it!Better than CE Ferulic! - 5/29/2014 9:35:07 AM Why is it better? Because Resveratrol can actually promote collagen synthesis and doesn't oxidize like crazy how L-Ascorbic acid does. By the time you get your CE Ferulic and most other liquid L-Ascorbic acids, the stuff has already oxidized to a degree. It should be clear if it hasn't been oxidized yet! Its usually a shade of yellow by the time you get it and then turns brown. If you are applying oxidized CE Ferulic to your face you are also applying free radicals to your face. Leading to further inflammation, damage, and definitely a decrease in collagen production. You may get some UV protection from it, but its not going to boost any collagen. For the price, there are better options that protect and boost collagen! Don't get hung up on a name brand, because they sometimes rest on their laurels once they have a big following going. That being said, their new Resveratrol BE is a very good product. Its a very potent Anti-oxidant that is less prone to oxidation and is also being protected by the vitamin E in it for preservation. This stuff shrinks your pores, has evened out my skin tone after a few weeks, and after using it a month, I have noticed the fine lines around the side of my eyes fading to almost nothing! For the money, I would go with this Skin Ceuticals Resveratrol BE over their CE Ferulic any day. You wont have to worry about sticking it into the refrigerator either to slow down oxidation. To me the best vitamin C form, bar none, is the Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate. It has an 18 month shelf life from the dreaded oxidation, it penetrates deep, and binds in with the lower lipid layer in the skin so it can do its work. Also, some people are resistant to attaining the collagen synthesis benefits of the L-Ascorbic form of vitamin C for some reason. Those same people have achieved the collagen synthesis benefit, from the THD form of C. It is also much less aggravating to the skin compared to L-Ascorbic acid. All I am saying is, after much personal trial & error, money spent, and research done, there are better Vitamin C serums out there for UV protection AND the boosting of Collagen Synthesis. Do your homework first, before spending the money on a hyped product. Rant over!, The SC Resveratrol serum is a great product. To me it is similar to the Premier Cru Caudalie line, but has a highly potent concentration of the vital Resveratrol ingredient in the SkinCeuticals product.Love This Sun Product - 5/28/2014 10:58:25 AM This has been the best sunscreen for my face that I have ever used. It's lightweight and does not clog my pores and cause breakouts and red spots like other sunscreens. I have some brown spots I'm treating with products that emphasize using sun protection. Plus, I've had sunspots removed that my doctor said were a sign my skin has had too much sun exposure. This is my foundation and sunscreen for the summer. It works without the white opaque look of some products and soaks in leaving a smooth finish and no harsh chemicals!I've been waiting for this all of my life! - 5/26/2014 9:12:22 AM I've been a Skinceuticals devotee for more than a decade and the proof of SC's superior science and ingredients is my face. At 49 I have the skin of a healthy 35 year old. With regard to sunscreens, I've always relied on drug store brands but have never used it consistently because of the ghostly whitening effect on my already alabaster skin, the stickiness, and unpleasant aromas, even when unscented. This formula is cosmetically elegant and I can use it anywhere. While even unscented formulas have some kind of aroma, I find this pleasant. I will continue to use this sunscreen on my hands, arms, dcollet, throat, ears, and face on a daily basis. With a history of skin cancer in my family, and my dark hair, ivory skin, and green eyes I must do all I can to protect myself and Skinceuticals is my best defense.Great Product! - 5/25/2014 8:46:20 PM This cleanser is great! I have very oily skin and I'm prone to blemishes. Deal with facial hair growth since now I'm in my 30's. Light complexion african american. This does not over dry just cleanses and leaves skin soft. Also bought the conditioning toner and spray it directly on my face. That feels great to and doesn't over dry. Also can wear under make up. There isn't a strong fragrance at all. I'm a customer that has tried Murad, proactive, Dr. Thomas and Bioderm. Those products didn't work well if not at all.Best Retinol I've Ever Used - 5/22/2014 12:13:42 PM I stopped using this product for a few years and BOY did I notice a difference in my skin. I suffered from more breakouts (despite skin on the dryer side) and my skin lacked the glow that it used to have. And now that it doesn't come in that annoying pump that pumped out tiny amounts and didn't work half the time...it's perfect! I LOVE the new packaging even though I probably use more than I need to since it's so easy to dispense. The only con for this product is that it works best if you let it sink in for 30 minutes before applying moisturizer. I tend to wash my face rightbefore bed, so that's kind of annoying. If you've never used retinol before, start with the .5 forumula and work up to the 1.0. Trust me!

Hayward offers the very latest in pool filter technology ensuring your pool water is clear and clean. Our filters' simplistic operation and low maintenance requirements set new standards for performance, value and molded of tough, durable, colorfast reinforced thermo-plastic Hayward filters deliver reliable, all-weather performance with minimal care.
D.E. Filters
Many pool professionals consider D.E. filtration to be the finest, because it is capable of removing smaller particles than either sand or cartridge.
Cartridge Filters
Cartridge filters are known for their water conservation because there is no backwashing required. While water passes through a cartridge filter, the surface of the cartridge element screens out dirt.
Sand Filters
The oldest and most popular method of filtration is sand. Sand filters share two things in common: 1) When in the filtration mode, water always flows from top to bottom; 2) They all have some sort of lateral or underdrain with slots to hold back sand.

Travel Information for travelling to Bristol
Click on the buttons on the bar above for links to other web sites which have route planners and helpful information on getting to Bristol. Click on the globe for a Google Map Satellite image of the stadium. You will also be able to use Google's route planner to map your journey.
Whether you're coming from east or west exit the M4 at junction 19 and join the M32. Travel along the M32 for 3.1 miles until you reach junction 2 - here, exit the motorway and take the third exit signposted Horfield and Southmead and follow the road through a division and a roundabout both of which have clear signs reading Memorial Stadium. Once through this area you join Muller Road and should continue to drive along it for 1.4 miles until you come to a signal-controlled crossroads. Signposted right is Horfield Health Centre and Library. At this junction ignore the sign and turn left into Filton Avenue where the ground is located almost immediately on the left.
Exit the M5 at junction 16 signposted A38 Thornbury and Filton. At the roundabout head right signposted A38 Filton and join the A38. Travel along the A38 (Gloucester Road) for 4.3 miles as you enter the outer suburbs of Bristol. On your trip you'll pass Filton Airport on your right, the Royal Mail sorting office, an American Golf retail outlet on your left and the Royal George and Wellington pubs. At a set of traffic lights immediately past a small shop called Satellite Warehouse and before Polypipe Timber take an unsignposted left turn into Filton Avenue where you'll see the ground is on your right after just a couple of dozen yards.
You'll be extremely lucky if you can find a space on Filton Avenue unless you arrive a couple of days in advance. All of the areas around the ground are residential and you'll have to battle for spaces with the locals as well as other home and away fans. With very few exceptions, finding a space within a five to ten minute walk is relatively easy - parking on Muller Road is a popular choice as is Gloucester Road although this is often more difficult. If Muller Road and Gloucester Road prove full then there are many other roads across the other side of Gloucester Road - travel past the Wellington pub along Kellaway Avenue and you'll find another area of roads often used for matchday parking.

A collection of photos documenting the Islamic holy month.
On Being Blog
I wanted to share a tremendously informative piece of writing that came into my inbox yesterday — an essay by Omer M. Mozaffar about the passing of Warith Deen (often referred to as W.Deen) Mohammed titled "American Islam Enters its Next Phase." Mohammed was a gentle but towering figure in the history of Islam in the U.S., yet remains little known in the culture at large.

My family and I had a wonderful all day tour with Mr. C K Low. We highly recommend a day trip with this friendly, informative and courteous tour guide. C K went out of his way to make us comfortable and took us to many wonderful Penang sites, where he knew a lot about the history and stories of the area. If you go to Penang then hire C K Low for the day, you won't regret it!
I am interested on the Firefly Tour. We will be staying at Paradise Sandy Beach Hotel on 9 or 10 Dec. How much does it cost for 2 adults and 3 children ? We have another family of 3 adults and 1 child. What's the price like ?

Greetings from HK. would want to know if you do regular durian farm tour; if so, are there any dates/itinerary with approximate price for 1 day tour. Am thinking of going to Penang this year (June?) with mother and brother (3 pax at the moment, maybe more later) and would like to know the cost and logistics so that I may do planning.
regards, Susan
Hello Rasa Malaysia Great info keep up the great recipes coming Thx:)
Dear CK Low,
On the 13t July 2102 with a group of 8 adults we were lead by Alex for a 9 hour food tour. We were very pleased with the service. The guide was very friendly AND patient throughout, very flexible arrangement and at the end of the day we extended to another 5 hours of tour the next day where he patiently brought us over to Butterworth through the Penang bridge and back by ferry.
Strongly recommend this service for Penang tour.

Hey all. I just got some new speakers from my friend. Considering my current financial situation (broke!!), I'm actually quite happy with them. I was wonderin' if anybody would recognize them, as they have no badging or anything.
I'm also thinking about replacing the drivers with some from Radio-Shack. I know they don't have anything that's good, but won't it be better than what is already in there? Where else could I go to get drivers? Another thought: couldn't I put car speakers in them? They ought to be of better quality than Radio-Shack's stuff. I know they'd be less impedance, but couldn't my Yamaha RX-V1400 handle it?
Let me know what you think about the speakers and the drivers.
P.S. What kind of ware should I look for on these kinds of drivers? I don't see any signs of ware.

ALEC's Corporate Legislative Agenda Protested
Cristina Francisco-McGuire on December 2, 2011 - 1:06am
This week, as the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) convened its annual States & Nation Policy Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona, labor, civil rights, and activist groups took advantage of the opportunity to highlight ALEC's role in advancing conservative legislation on everything from voter ID to SB 1070 copycat bills. National groups such as Common Cause and MoveOn joined the state AFL-CIO, Occupy Phoenix, and others to plan five days' worth of events during the duration of the conference to highlight the detrimental effects that ALEC-backed policies have had on the economic security of families in both Arizona and states across the country — and to warn about elements of their destructive agenda that may be introduced in coming legislative sessions.
"ALEC is the mechanism companies use to control public policy," said former Arizona State Rep. John Loredo at a press conference held outside the state house with other community members highlighting the effects of right-wing legislation in Arizona. "This is policy designed to enrich the richest corporations in the country at the expense of the middle class and the voters."
ALEC's close ties to corporations — who pay hefty membership dues and provided nearly 85% of their funding stream in 2010 — have been highlighted by many observers as the real motivation behind their extreme, right-wing efforts to limit government and curb industry regulations. Its partnership with the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), for example, was widely reported as a main impetus behind Arizona's notorious anti-immigrant SB 1070, which, by sending thousands of undocumented immigrants to prison, would equate to millions of dollars in profits for CCA and its cohorts in the private prison industry. While similar anti-immigrant bills were filed in dozens of states this year, the vast majority failed to advance. Meanwhile, the few states that did see passage of SB1070 copycat legislation — including Utah, Indiana, Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina — have seen their laws challenged in costly court battles and their state economies teeter from the impact of reduced tourism and taxpayers fleeing to other states.
Similarly, ALEC's cozy relationship with Blue Cross Blue Shield, which sits on their Health and Human Services Task Force, has ensured that insurance industry representatives have a captive audience to whom they can pitch legislation designed to increase their own bottom lines while undermining the effectiveness of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for families. As former insurance executive turned industry watchdog Wendell Potter wrote in The Nation this summer, ALEC's health care policies over the years have aimed to "not only undermine the consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act," but to "shred the social safety net for the most vulnerable among us: older, disabled and poorer Americans, and those who become victims of a system that is supposed to heal, not harm." The threat from ALEC to the health security of families will continue in sessions next year, after the group adopted model legislation this week that would further weaken the ACA.
Another ALEC policy priority failed this week in New Hampshire, where a months-long drama orchestrated by conservative House Speaker William O'Brien ended as the state House of Representatives called a vote on but failed to override Governor John Lynch's veto of anti-worker "right-to-work" legislation. Republican State Rep. Gary Daniels spoke out against the bill, saying, "Let those who wish to associate with unions to freely do so, but let's also show compassion for those who choose not to associate with unions." Despite the widespread failure of ALEC-backed "right-to-work" bills intended to weaken private sector unions this year, and despite the election results earlier this month that indicated a backlash against attacks on workers, Indiana conservatives indicated their intention to press ahead with similar legislation next session.
Common Cause and People For the American Way Foundation released a report this week highlighting the specific effects that ALEC policies have had on Arizona families, finding that the 22 major companies represented on the group's Private Enterprise Board have spent a total of $16 million in Arizona state political campaigns over the past decade. As legislators and citizens alike learn more about the secretive group's agenda, they are seeing that ALEC's narrow-minded, corporate-directed priorities are increasingly out of line with the needs of working families and the 99%.

- Health Info
- Kids Health
Playing sports is a great way to have fun and stay fit. And anyone who has played sports knows that you have to pay some extra attention to your health. If you play team sports, you may have had a sports physical. A sports physical is a visit to the doctor to make sure you're in good enough shape to play the sport you want to play.
Sports physicals aren't just for kids. Even sports superstars need to go to the doctor to make sure they are healthy and strong before they hit the field.
You might think of going to your doctor as something you do only when you're sick or maybe once a year for a checkup, but your body works hard when you run fast, kick, throw, swim, and tumble. That's why a sports physical is important, especially when you're just starting to swim competitively; do gymnastics; or play a team sport, such as soccer, baseball, football, or basketball.
What Happens During a Sports Physical
There are two main parts to a sports physical: your medical history and the physical exam.
Your medical history includes questions about illnesses and injuries you have had, such as asthma or a broken leg. It is important to know about medical problems that run in your family or any medicines you take on a daily basis. For example, has anyone in your family had heart trouble? Another important question is whether you've ever passed out, felt dizzy, or felt pain in your chest while running or playing. You should fill out the form with your mom or dad so the answers are the same. Your doctor may ask additional questions during the exam.
During the physical exam, the doctor will:
- measure your height
- check your weight
- take your blood pressure
- listen to your heart and lungs
- feel your abdomen
- look in your ears, nose, and throat
- check your eyesight
- test how strong and flexible you are
This is also your chance to discuss any other questions you have about your health and playing sports.
What If the Doctor Thinks Something Is Wrong?
The good news is that almost all kids can play the sports they want to play. If you have a health problem, you can usually take medicine or get treatment that will let you play your sport safely. If you have an old injury, the doctor may be able to suggest exercises and other treatments to help you fully recover from it. Even kids with serious health problems often find a sport in which they can participate.
Where to Get a Sports Physical
Some older kids may be able to get a sports physical at school. Sometimes schools will set aside the gym or another large space for sports physicals, and several doctors will set up stations. You then go from station to station, and each person does a different part of the overall exam.
It's up to a parent to get you an appointment for a sports physical. It's a good idea to do it about 6 weeks before the sports season starts, so make sure to plan ahead. Even if you get a sports physical, it's still a smart idea to have an annual checkup. Your regular doctor knows you better and will be better able to spot changes in your overall health.
Once you've had your physical and the doctor gives you the OK, you can start the fun part: becoming the best athlete you can be!

Report: Microsoft to Focus on Gaming with Windows 8by Brian Leahy, Dec 23, 2010 3:00pm PST
According to a report by TechRadar, Microsoft could be eying gaming as a big focus for the forthcoming Windows 8. TechRadar claims that "the software giant [is] ready to put its weight behind the platform once more."
Microsoft has also hired Rahul Sood, who came over from Hewlett-Packard and Voodoo PC and is also the guy that blogged that Microsoft scrapped plans for PC and Xbox 360 cross-platform multiplayer because "the console players got destroyed every time" sparking Internet arguments about controllers versus mouse & keyboard.
Last month, Microsoft launched a redesigned Games for Windows Marketplace, which sells digital games and downloadable content. Microsoft's biggest competition will obviously be Valve's Steam platform, which is currently the undisputed king of PC gaming.
Microsoft has quite a large mountain to climb, especially after Games for Windows LIVE.

Well,after several hrs relistening to my music library on the DacMagic Plus with the new Kimber USB,I am thoroughly convinced of one thing! I would have a very hard time telling the difference between a cd,and the DacMagic Plus with the Kimber in place! Some recordings sound less than perfect when I buy computer music! On almost all my cd's,songs sound perfect on the Rega!(thanks Dawgfish) On the well recorded music I buy through the computer,this cable has taken the music up a notch! The difference the Kimber made is the last small step to cd quality! I've noticed less harshness,and more resolution in the music.The music is all around you,like a cd! Not right in front of you! Theres a wonderful soundstage! It sounds fabulous!
I use the balanced outputs on the DacMagic with Analysis Plus Copper Ovals,and now the Kimber Cable USB. Anybody looking for an awesome DAC,in the $700 price range,would be a fool not to try this combo out!
Big thanx to thsmith for the awesome karma!

So I am looking at setting up a Netflix account either tomorrow or Tuesday. The question that I am curious about is how I should get my Netflix. I'm running an Oppo-93, and will have a networked Panny 50VT20 delivered on Tues.
Does anyone know if there is any difference between units? I'm curious whether it would be better to stream via the BRP, or the TV.... or does it make no difference? Would there be any differences in the user interface, or is that standardized now?
The obvious would tell me to just try them both and see what happens. I'm just looking to see if anyone else has run into this when having more than 1 networked component. (I'll be throwing a networked receiver into the mix in the near future too)

NIDDK Scientific Director Ira Levin, Ph.D. is honored by NIDDK Director Griffin P. Rodgers, M.D., M.A.C.P. at a celebration in honor of Levin's retirement from the NIH after 48 years of Government service.
NIDDK Scientific Director Ira Levin Retires
From NIH Record
By Rachel Greenberg
When Dr. Ira Levin, a world leader in vibrational spectroscopy and NIDDK scientific director since 2009, retired from NIH recently, he left a huge mark, both on his field and on NIH. In nearly 48 years at NIH, Levin's career included 235 publications, 135 published meeting abstracts and 20 awards and honors, including the Pittsburgh Spectroscopy Award, the top award in the field.
"For the past 48 years, Ira's work has focused on developing new and innovative spectroscopic methods and their applications to a wide range of problems," said Dr. William Eaton, chief of NIDDK's Laboratory of Chemical Physics. "From his early work initiating the field of infrared imaging, to using both infrared and Raman measurements to characterize the structure of lipid bilayer systems, and to his latest work applying vibrational spectroscopic imaging to medical diagnostics, Ira has been the acknowledged leader and among the most cited spectroscopists of his generation."
Levin's scientific career was matched, if not exceeded, by the strong relationships and accolades that marked his administrative roles at NIDDK. Levin's colleagues described their mentor as the "captain of their ship," saying he will be much missed.
"Ira is the epitome of modesty and unpretentiousness," said NIDDK director Dr. Griffin Rodgers. "When he popped in on scientists and staff he was a colleague and mentor—not the 'scientific director.' I will miss Ira's gracious guidance and insights, his love for science and his support for the people behind the science."
"If NIDDK had an award for 'mensch laureate,' Ira would be the leading candidate for that award," said Dr. James Balow, NIDDK clinical director. Balow will serve as acting scientific director until a new SD is named.
Since the mid-1990s, Levin held several management positions with the NIDDK Division of Intramural Research while continuing to lead the molecular biophysics section of the Laboratory of Chemical Physics until 2009.
"The same talents you hone over the years as a scientist work well for an administrator," said Levin. "I'd listen carefully, go to meetings, hear others' ideas and then flesh out new thoughts."
Balow explained his colleague's administrative success otherwise. "I'm convinced that Ira's mastery of fine spectral signal discrimination formed the underpinnings and created the model for his success," said Balow. "Ira could detect the key elements resounding from the chorus of requests and competing interests of his constituents in NIDDK. He was a master at separating the wheat from the chaff, the frivolous from the important."
Levin's ability to distribute resources fairly in the face of shrinking budgets earned the respect of his colleagues and supervisors alike.
"In his unswerving dedication and commitment to NIDDK, Ira exhibited a deep understanding of the concept of the common good," said Balow. "His decisions were based on what was good for NIDDK as a whole, and ultimately, the good of the public, which entrusts us with its treasure chest of support."
Reflecting on his career at NIDDK, Levin said he was most proud of his colleagues' passion and intellect, their readiness to exchange ideas, and the outstanding ratings NIDDK received from the board of scientific counselors. Of himself, he said, "As administrator, you want to carry on your most creative, innovative and strongest research. Maintain the enthusiasm of the enterprise and do it all by remaining invisible."
Fortunately for NIH and the field of spectroscopy, Levin's influence was anything but invisible.
