Each day, Innovation Daily checks the pulse of global innovation-- courtesy of Innovation America. Here, we take a look at a handful of relevant stories it compiled last week:
Earlier this summer, the Kauffman Foundation announced its ideas for a broad set of policy recommendations that would help accelerate the creation of new startups and stimulate the US economy. The Startup Act, as it was called, just received a bit of extra attention with today's copy of the Wall Street Journal.
Following the 11th hour deal last week that brought an end (at least for now) to the debt ceiling crisis, the House and Senate are observing the typical August / Summer recess. They are scheduled to return to Washington on Tuesday, September 6, following the Labor Day holiday.
Once or twice in the past we have pointed to the "White House White Board," a quirky feature on whitehouse.gov used to illustrate (and simplify) whatever it is the administration wants to talk about. Recently, it marked the first 180 days of Startup America with a self-conducted progress report on administration commitments to improve the environment for high-growth entrepreneurship.
A handful of hearings are scheduled for the week ahead, including: the House Committee on Small Business looking at how industry-led portable skills certification programs are meeting the workforce needs of new and small firms; and, the House Committee on Financial Services reviewing legislative proposals to reform the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As Congress nears the end-of-year holiday recess (which may or may not technically happen), all eyes are on the payroll tax deal negotiations and the expiration of the latest temporary spending bill. Meanwhile, several hearings are happening on Capitol Hill and of interest to PDE followers, including a look at the possible expansion of top-level domains through ICANN.
Several hearings are on tap for this week, including a pair in the House Judiciary Committee dealing with immigration and intellectual property concerns.
Last week, we highlighted a new piece of legislation introduced by Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Mark Warner (D-VA) that pulls a number of ideas from a collection of policy reforms suggested by the Kauffman Foundation. It wasn't the only new bill aimed at reviving the sluggish economy through new and young firms.

Many people do not want to work under someone else, be it in their profession, in any company or even voluntary service. The general notion is that when you work under someone, you lose your freedom, you have to be answerable. So, many people opt for business, wanting to be their own boss. But, in business, you are accountable to so many people. If you cannot be accountable to even one person, how can you be accountable to many? This is the paradox. In fact, being in business binds you more than the boss!
Refusing to work under someone is a sign of weakness, not strength. A strong person would not feel uncomfortable working under anyone, because he knows his strength. It is the weak and poor in spirit who do not like to work under someone else, because they are unaware of their strength. They can be neither successful in business nor in any profession.
And the same is true even in the field of social service - often volunteers do not want to work under someone else. This is merely an exhibition of their weakness. With such an attitude, they achieve very little. One who is timid and weak in spirit would be uncomfortable to work even under the Wise one; but one who knows his own strength can work effectively even under a fool!
Nityanand: But to work under a fool is frustrating!
SriSri: When you know your strength, with skill and intelligence, you can turn every disadvantage into an advantage. A fool can bring out the best of your communication skills! (laughter)
So watch out! If you feel uncomfortable working under someone, it clearly shows you need to strengthen yourself. Desiring freedom from circumstances, situations or people is no freedom at all. Knowing that nobody can take away your freedom Ö that is strength! And when you realize your strength is unshakable, you would not mind working under anybody.

That was about as decisive as things got during a marathon City Council meeting that began at 6 p.m. Monday and ended at - groan - 1:30 a.m. Tuesday.
I was there to provide gavel-to-gavel coverage for you, the reading public. This meeting and last week's were my first in the Pomona chambers in more than a year.
After attending too many Pomona council meetings to count, I shifted my attention last year to scandal-plagued Upland, whose meetings have proved a reliable source of news, entertainment and malapropisms.
Still, my attitude has been that if Pomona needed me, I'd be there. And learning the library was on the chopping block certainly qualified.
When I arrived, more than 100 people were rallying outside the Council Chambers on behalf of the library, which may close Aug. 15 to erase a million bucks' worth of red ink. It's the only public library for a city of 150,000.
One protest sign: "Even prisons have libraries."
The council had too much on its plate June 18 to tackle the budget and pushed that off to Monday's special meeting. It began with a proposal to close Fire Station 181 downtown to save $2.4 million and, as City Manager Linda Lowry put it, "keep our solvency for the next year."
Even that warning wasn't dire enough to stave off a debate that dragged on for two hours. A possibly chimerical alternative of joining the L.A. County Fire District, pushed by the politically powerful firefighters' union, will be studied, although early signs aren't promising.
The council did eventually decide to prepare to close the station in case that alternative flops, but actually closing it will require another vote, probably in September.
More fun.
Then came a slide show about the city budget. Basically, Pomona is screwed. Spending is dropping but revenue is dropping faster. The budget reserve is under $2 million, meaning the city's safety net has giant holes in it.
If $3 million isn't cut from the $78.5 million general fund budget, Pomona would be out of money in a year and filing for bankruptcy, Finance Director Paula Chamberlain said.
Two tax-raising measures on the November ballot - one on hotel stays, the other on property sales - would give Pomona up to $1.3 million in breathing room.
The property transfer tax "is the tax you pay if you sell your home in Pomona," Chamberlain explained.
I foresee a windfall if the cuts get so bad everyone in Pomona moves away.
"Now to hear from the public," Mayor Elliott Rothman announced at 10 p.m., four hours into the meeting.
And some people wonder why I stopped going to Pomona council meetings. Masochism will take me only so far.
(The cramped, airline-quality seating doesn't help either. Every time someone wants to leave their seat, everyone in their row has to stand, or even move into the aisle, to let them pass. I wonder for whom the Council Chambers were designed back in the 1960s. Was Pomona a city of midgets?)
When City Clerk Marie Macias counted the speaker slips and said, "We have a total of 113 speakers," people in the Council Chambers gasped, and then loud applause broke out.
Not surprisingly, after four hours of waiting around, much of the library-loving public had left. But somewhat surprisingly, many had stuck around. Bless their hearts.
Those left to speak - a couple of dozen folks, from teens to seniors - said the library ought to be spared and were stunned the idea was even on the table. Many didn't seem to know Pomona was in such bad financial shape.
Granted, the council has papered over the problems and assiduously avoided asking voters to raise taxes, but what did people think in 2010 when the library's schedule was slashed to a minimal 26 hours per week and disbanding the Police Department was debated?
At least some speakers seemed to have had enough. "Stop talking about what we can cut and start talking about how we can get revenue," one woman said.
Council members said they would do their best not to shutter the library.
"I'm embarrassed we would talk about closing a library, but obviously that struck a nerve. So many people came out and participated," Councilwoman Danielle Soto said.
"The situation is serious," she added. "I think we've got people's attention now. But are you going to go away?"
Multiple times Monday, back in the belly of the beast that is a Pomona council meeting, I weighed the idea of going away.
Up on the dais, there were redundant comments, circular discussions, weird digressions, the halting reading of a hundred names of speakers who weren't there and motions about the fire budget that appeared to have been written by the firefighters union.
Nearing 11 p.m., Rothman asked Lowry to share a proposal to save the library. Now they tell us.
Lowry said there is interest from Rancho Cucamonga in operating Pomona's library, as expressed to her by Rancho Cucamonga City Manager John Gillison, who happens to be a former deputy city manager of Pomona.
Two Rancho Cucamonga council members on a library subcommittee "suggested providing a proposal to operate our library as a branch. They're enthusiastic about it. They've asked if we're interested in negotiating with them," Lowry said. Current library employees would be interviewed for jobs, she added.
The arrangement might be short- or long-term and might involve formation of a multi-city "library district," Lowry said.
A budget number of $400,000 was named, and that amount of gas-tax money was shifted into the general fund to keep the library open for a year by Rancho Cucamonga if negotiations prove fruitful. (This shift would mean $400,000 less street paving, by the way.)
Pomona council members were delighted by the offer of assistance and eagerly signed on for talks.
Not so fast, Rancho Cucamonga officials said Tuesday.
I phoned Robert Karatsu, the city's library director, and Diane Williams, a member of the council's library subcommittee. Neither one seemed to know what Lowry was talking about.
"She's gone way farther down the road than we have," Williams said.
She and Karatsu said Rancho Cucamonga has offered to look at the Pomona library budget to suggest cost savings. Operating Pomona's library costs $1.6 million a year, the same as each of Rancho Cucamonga's two branches, which are open far more hours.
Still, Karatsu saw no way to operate Pomona's library for $400,000, one-fourth of the current cost, and said he couldn't see operating Pomona's library as a branch of Rancho Cucamonga's.
"They're not even in the same county as us," Karatsu said.
Librarians are alarmed about Pomona's straits and that was a major topic of discussion at last weekend's American Library Association conference in Anaheim, Karatsu noted.
I wonder if that national interest could be leveraged to help Pomona in some way. Meanwhile, a task force plans to meet at 10 a.m. each Monday through the summer at the Pomona Library to brainstorm ideas, and anyone interested is invited.
I don't know what to make of the back-and-forth about the library. Maybe Gillison has something up his sleeve and Lowry jumped the gun, or maybe Lowry read more into an offer than was there.
Either way, Pomona has set aside $1 million for its library for the next year, which might keep it open on some basis. (The line item is $400,000 to operate it and $600,000 to close the books, so to speak, on employee severance if everyone is laid off.)
The city budget was approved 6-0 and the meeting adjourned at 1:30 a.m.
A few of us mingled to gab.
"Just like the old days," Soto joked of the late night. "We haven't done one of these in a while."
"Your nostalgia is sadly misplaced," Councilman Steve Atchley said dryly.
Lowry asked if my presence meant Pomona was more interesting than Upland again.
Possibly. Then again, Upland's meeting had ended more than four hours earlier, and there's a lot to be said for that too.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Many West Virginians will be paying more for health care this year under rate increases the state Health Care Authority has approved for 15 hospitals.
The increases affect people with private insurance and those who pay out of their own pocket. They range from as low as 1.24 percent at Bluefield Regional Medical Center to as high as 8.7 percent at Fairmont General Hospital.
The Charleston Gazette says only one rate was lowered: Charleston Surgical Hospital's rate is falling by less than half of 1 percent.
Hospital administrators call the increases routine.
"It basically allows hospitals to keep up with rising costs on the other end," said Dale Witte, spokesman for Charleston Area Medical Center. "We think it's reasonable."
The other rate hikes include:
—4.3 percent at CAMC;
—3.6 percent at CAMC Teays Valley in Hurricane;
—6 percent at West Virginia University Hospitals;
—4.25 percent at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport;
—4.75 percent at Raleigh General Hospital in Beckley;
—6.5 percent at Summersville Regional Hospital;
—4.58 percent at City Hospital in Martinsburg;
—5.09 percent at Ohio Valley Medical Center in Wheeling;
—5.25 percent at Williamson Memorial Hospital;
—4.24 percent at Logan Regional Hospital;
—4.74 percent at Camden Clark Memorial Hospital in Parkersburg;
—6.97 percent at Greenbrier Valley Medical Center in Ronceverte;
—and 4.75 percent at Davis Memorial Hospital in Elkins.

The Historic Summit Inn
Farmington, PA
The closest inn accommodations to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater and his Kentuck Knob, the Summit Inn sits majestically atop Chestnut Ridge in the beautiful Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania, about 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. With its turn of the century splendor, the Summit Inn beckons to the modern day traveler to stop, rest, and journey back to a simpler time. A time when life was slower and the cares of the day were not as urgent as they are today. Situated on the historic National Road-America's first federally funded highway, the Summit Inn is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This historic landmark has hosted diverse travelers through the decades. From German outdoor enthusiasts embarking on a whitewater rafting expedition at nearby Ohiopyle State Park, to Australian architects visiting Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, they all agree that the Summit Inn is the center of both natural and major tourists' attractions in the Laurel Highland. Since its grand opening in 1907, the Summit Inn has played a key role in the history of the area. And like the mountains that it rests upon, it too has survived the passage of time. Long before man ever dreamt of flight, guests of the Summit were lulled to sleep to the sound of calm mountain breezes that blew outside its windows. Through four wars and one depression, the Summit Inn has afforded its guests a welcoming getaway where strangers meet and leave as friends.

A third lawsuit has been filed against New Birth Missionary Baptist Church pastor Eddie Long, claiming Long lured a former congregant into a sexual relationship in exchange for gifts and lavish trips.
Jamal Parris, a 23-year-old former church congregant now living in Colorado Springs, Colo., claims Long lured him into a relationship in his teens after his mother joined the church around 2001, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in State Court of DeKalb County.
Long faces two similar lawsuits filed yesterday. Anthony Flagg, 20, and Maurice Robinson, 21, in separate suits, claim Long forced the them into sexual acts in return for money, cars and trips.
The suit alleges that the sexual encounters began when both were 16 years old. The encounters began after both men were enrolled in Longfellow Youth Academy. Flagg was 16 and Robinson was 14 when they entered the Academy.
According to the website, the Longfellow Youth Academy's vision is "training our youth to live, love and lead."
Parris' lawsuit seeks a jury trial and unspecified damages.

............. i thought i was past this................
but I know I still have problems when I down a large glass of water at least 3, 4 hours after eating, (and all I've eaten today is 1/2 a medium, healthy pizza) .......... and then feel that I really need to purge. it's fucking WATER.

crino: good to hear you are resisting the urge to purge ; o thats really one of the stages in overcoming the cycle. you have to be willing to stand there and realize that it's not what you want for yourself and it does nothing to contribute to your well being. stress sucks. various forms of therapy seem to help me with stress.. and engaging a less stressful lifestyle helps as well. glad to hear things are progressing for you and you are moving along nicely in life despite weight issues. i think it's important to remember life is never going to be "perfect" but we can at least try to make the best of it.

Hi everyone!
I've had very little internet access all summer. I am doing...okay. I'm not completely freaking out over the five pounds I gained while at home this summer. I'm the only person I know who gains weight at home but loses it at school. Well, hopefully I'll lose it again. I dunno, because I'm not taking my usual dance classes, instead focusing on LSAT prep. mmm. It's exactly enough weight gain that my clothes all still fit correctly, but I am acutely aware of the small differences. Crinoboy swears I look exactly the same naked as I did three months ago, but what does he know? Anyway, I have resisted purging for a month now. However, I have binged a few times, really binged to the point of pain. I know it's stress related with school and everything. So yeah.

illness + 1 week off from gym + overdosing on carbs + 5lbs = catlady disproportional amount of guilt.
seriously, i walk a fine, fine line of body love and body hatred, and... sigh. friday night masochism. yum. hannah, i think we're almost doubly hard on ourselves once we've lost weight and it comes back. it's like we tell ourselves, "you got down to x lbs before, so one, you know it's possible for your body to be there, and two, how did you let it go back up?" maybesparrow, i get a little anxious too, when it comes to the end of the day and i need to go to the gym, but something comes up... and then i chastise myself for not having more self-discipline to get up in the AM instead, eventhough i love working out in PM to blow off post-work steam... so, i thought i'd try out octi's trigger list; some do overlap: triggers: old jeans that aren't even close to fitting anymore, not working out, the scale ( !), pms bloating and carb craving, fri night masochism & random bouts of loneliness anti-triggers: post work-out drenched in sweat or after summitting a mountain, wearing a trendy and comfortable well-put-together outfit, a good hair day, i wish i could think of more... and hugs for ((BUSTies)) all around in here... |

hi everyone! how are you doing? i'm ok. been trying to focus on working out and being kind to myself and taking good care of my body. but i've certainly gained weight since being at my skinniest, and i'm having a hard time accepting it and being ok with my body with a few extra pounds. i took an impromptu trip to my hometown to visit a few of my oldest girlfriends, and for some reason that sparked a lot of body panic and loathing. the last time they all saw me, i was much skinnier. i can't help feeling as if i have somehow failed. especially because a friend lost a lot of weight. everyone was commenting and complimenting her. nd she does look great! she's been doing weight watchers, which is how i lost all my weight. so of course i'm proud of her and happy for her, but it's so hard not to compare. i always assume people are thinking the worst of me and judging me, even if i'm def the harshest critic of myself. i'm just so scared that i can't eat healthfully and not obsessively and maintain a thin-ish weight. because i am still careful about what i eat, and am such a healthy person, and the moment i stopped restricting obsessively i feel like my body just wanted to gain and gain. it's been a while now. some days, i feel pretty and ok. some days, i feel deeply horrible about myself. more than anything, i'm so tired of the same thoughts, of still feeling the same way. i just wish i could get over it, snap out of it, spend my energy worrying about more interesting and productive things. i feel like i'm doing all these things that should help: i have a avery smart, supportive therapist, i am taking (pretty) good care of my body, trying to do things that make me happy and reinforce positive thoughts and feelings. but i still feel like i'm caught in this destructive, stupid cycle of self-loathing that i want so bad to escape! yikes!

((((sass)))) Sorry to hear about the outside influences (as if we need a voice other than one in our heads telling us to obsess over weight). I had an ex whose family was european and thought it was better if I lived off of coffee and cigs instead of being fat. They would poke my belly and shake their head when I would reach for something fatty. I was 17, and it took me 3-4 years to get over it. I really feel for you...having others be aware of your weight is so so so stressful. Just do what feels right for you!!! Hugs all around.
I've been doing pretty good, but I am still super obsessed with my fitness regiman. I panic when an occasion arises that will conflict with my gym time. I'm trying to see the big picture, will I really remember a day at the gym, or a day out with my in-laws. I need some perspective!!! -------------------- "Acquiring knowledge is like biting into a cheese that gets bigger with every bite" --Henry Miller

(((sass))): god i'm sorry. women can suck. especially in the work world because you're stuck being around people who arent really your type of people anyway.. you know they're not your friends, you dont CHOOSE to have them in your life. it's a necessary evil if you wanna survive cause you gotta work. ignore ignore ignore. turn your nose up. be sweet. whatever you have to do to maintain. but just remember that if they have the audacity to say that to another woman, they are not strong women, so their opinions dont mean shit.

Feeling a little better. I know it's been a couple of weeks, but it was just tough to deal with a judgemental mother. Especially when she knows that I'm on a med that causes weight gain!! Jeebus! My parents think my ED is bullshit. They think b/c I'm not thin, I don't have one.
Octinoxate, I agree with some of your triggers. It was hard dealing with some of these skinny girls at work. In fact I remember one of them called me "fat" one day! And other said I needed to be on a diet(which the woman that said was about 100 pounds overweight herself) I worked with about 95% woman, and there were some evil bitches. Sometimes it's just hard not to compare you know? Sass, I'm working on portion size myself. ((all ED busties)) |

Welcome, missjoy! I'm glad you've found your way in here! (And yes- I too loved sass's advice to u!) One thing I noticed in your post (and that echoed my own experience) is that mental health, physical health, and being a size 6 don't necessarily go together. I think it's so important to remind ourselves of that, because so often "healthy" is code for "skinny" -- and so often "healthy" just refers to the physical and ignores the mental.
I've been thinking about these connections lately, because for the most part I'm happy with my body and don't have many food/weight issues anymore, but there are times I falter. Times I feel fat, ugly, slobby, dissatisfied with my body and with my looks in general. I'm trying to figure out what exactly these times are-- what triggers me. Some things I've noticed that can trigger me: -seeing a super buff chick at the gym (not about her being skinny, but in awesome shape and muscular) -seeing my (judgmental) ex at the gym -having my knee pain flare up and thus not being able to do the physical things i'd like to do -not working out for a while -seeing a bigger number on the scale (or sometimes, seeing the same number on the scale, if i've been working out and i'm not seeing results there) -wearing one particular pair of tight-waisted pants i've got -seeing this tall, skinny, hot chick at work -having a bad break out -hearing my guy friends check out other girls and comment on their looks In contrast, I feel great about myself/my body when: -i've been working out and doing physical therapy -i work out early in the morning -i can lift a weight that's heavier than what I lifted last time -i hang out with body-positive women -i'm involved with a boy that digs my body -it's windy and i'm wearing a skirt -i'm in heels -my hair and skin look good -i'm happy otherwise -i'm in a good mood and smiling -i'm at a physical location that i feel at peace in -i'm wearing a sharp, well-fitting outfit -i'm hanging out with really old people -i'm the strongest woman in the room -i see a smaller number on the scale -my knee pain is not present -i've shaved -i'm swimming -i break a record of mine (eg, in time using the elliptical trainer, intensity of a phys therapy exercise, etc.) So.... I guess one rough generalization is that I tend to feel crappy when I'm in a situation that it's easy for me to compare myself to another woman whose "better" than me in some looks-related way... and I tend to feel good when I'm more focused on my personal best, and my non-looks strengths, and I'm doing healthy things. Anyone else notice any patterns about their own feelings? When is it hard for you to stay on the recovery wagon? When is it easy to fall off? I'd love to hear! |

sass: just wanna say that was phenomenal advice. it's like, "this is what works".. so simple yet we make it so hard. thanks for sharing, good to keep these techniques/practices in mind.
i'd also like to add that what's helped me stay focused is knowing why i am becoming healthier. i think once we keep in mind not only the how but also the why we are more likely to stick with it. -------------------- We adore chaos because we love to produce order. - M.C. Escher |

Missjoy: I'm so glad you came to this forum, welcome! I can relate to many aspects of your story, and it wasn't too long: talk all you want. Currently, what's helping me is to allow myself certain foods at mealtimes that, if I were being "super-strict", I wouldn't normally have (for example, foccacia bread with sun-dried tomato mayo). BUT, I eat a small portion and I don't eat any of my trigger foods (cheetos, sweets, ice cream, bacon, croissants, etc), and I don't keep any trigger foods in the house. The second thing that has helped me is to wean off things (what I call my methadone program). For ex: cheetos are my biggest problem, and I couldn't seem to limit the amount I ate. So I substituted a similar item, like doritos, and ate them for a couple of days, till the bag was gone. This allowed me to not feel deprived and to munch on something tasty that was not likely to set me off on a binge. After the doritos were gone, I substituted fresh, homemade popcorn (so much cheaper and healthier than the microwave kind), but added as much butter and salt as I wished. Now I was still not feeling deprived, and still getting great taste, but it was s-l-o-w-l-y becoming healthier. After a few days of this, I eliminated the butter and salt. The first few bites were really boring, and I almost gave in to the butter and salt, but I stuck with it, and a few minutes later, it tasted fine. Now, for my afternoon snack each day, I make fresh, plain popcorn, and I find that each day I'm eating less of it.
So, this is what I mean by doing things gradually and not being "all-or-nothing" about it (which is my usual way). The 3 main points are: 1. Limit portion size 2. Slowly substitute better foods that still provide a sense of "treating" yourself (otherwise, you'll feel deprived and binge) 3. Eliminate the trigger foods (as good as I'm doing now, if I were to eat cheetos or Ben & Jerry's Fish Food ice cream, I'd go straight off the tracks) I hope this is helpful and that I don't come off bossy or preachy. Also, one last thing: consider Overeaters Anonymous; anyone, whether anorexic, bulimic, or simply an overeater (basically anyone who struggles with food) is welcome. It is an amazing relief to be surrounded by loving, positive people who have all experienced the same as you, and who want the best for you. |

I haven't been into this thread before, not sure why since it could probably help me quite a bit... so here it goes.
I've never been a small girl - was always cubby right through high school. In college we had to eat around everyone else so I ended up eating nothing but salads because i was afraid people would judge me if I ate anything bad for me. So, I lost some weight in my first year of college. In my second year I exercised a lot and my constant schedule of drinking, dancing and being too hungover to eat caused me to lose a lot of weight. Then I started panicking when I didn't eat right so I started throwing up. After that for about 6 months I combined restricting food and then snapping and eating junk followed by purging (about once a day). I reached my lowest weight ever... I was a size 6/8 (usually a size 14). Then I started dating a guy I was comfortable with and reduced the exercising and we ate badly together... Anyway this story is getting long. Now I'm at my highest weight ever, around 215, and I just can't seem to control myself. I can eat well all day and then it is like something in my brain snaps and I have to eat... I'll eat a tonne of total crap and then purge because I'm already overweight and I want to try reduce the effect of the binging. I dont know what to do - it really is like a switch is flipped in my head and I have no control. So I'm hoping to find some support and just learn from you wonderful ladies. I've never, ever told anyone about this so this is all a little scary |

Well, going home was not good. My mother picked on me about my weight, and now thinks I have diabetes. I know this is not true. It's this mediation that I'm on for my epilepsy, and that's causing the weight gain. Besides, they're retired. I don't have 5 hours a day to work out!
It just seemed everything I put in my mouth was judged. However, my boyfriend and I are going to try to eat healthier. But right now I'm very depressed. So, it's back to eating junk food. And I'm PMSing. |

"Someone stole five government issued cell phones from a woman's bedroom while she was sleeping."
Are these the infamous ObamaPhones? Or are these phones the woman was, as a government employee, ready to distribute to or collected from other government employees? Wee these a part of her job?
If they were ObamaPhones then they could have gotten their own being unemployed and of the correct social status.
There is one other possibility. The woman in possession of the phones was acquiring these ObamaPhones free using different names possibly by fraud and identity theft.
Did she also possess any credit cards not in her own name?
More info please!

That is all the information provided in the part one crime report.

There is no such thing as an "Obamaphone" The program was conceived by Ronald Reagan and implemented under George W. Bush.
Can't you get anything right?
10:15 am on Saturday, December 8, 2012
The real question is Stevie, why do you seemingly enjoy being wrong so often?
Tell her they do not exist.
And your link is irrelevant since I have not made any claims about when or who started the free cell phone program. I do know that the program has exploded since 2009.
" In 2008 the program cost $772 million, but by 2011 it cost $1.6 billion."
"the FCC acknowledges that the costs of the program have ballooned in recent years. By 2011, Lifeline was costing phone subscribers $1.75 billion per year."
Now if you were not so fast to make yourself look like a fool you amy not look like a fool.

LAB MANAGEMENT TODAY · Business Strategies for Dental Laboratory Decision-Makers
Welcome to The BRIDGE, an online network from LMT dedicated exclusively for members of the Dental Laboratory community.
One of the misconceptions about home-based labs is that the owners never stop working. On the contrary, nearly half of surveyed home-based lab owners say they work fewer hours because their lab is located in the house. In fact, they work about six hours less per week than their non-home-based counterparts.

After 18 years, Fox's legendary reality chief is stepping down. Mike Darnell, a colorful provocateur who pioneered the genre, will
EXCLUSIVE: The reality TV landscape will never be the same. After 18 years at Fox, the dean of unscripted TV executives, Fox's president of alternative programming Mike Darnell, is stepping down. He will stay on though the end of June, when his current contract is up, and help with the transition. Darnell was offered a new long-term deal at the network but, after long deliberation, decided it was time to move on. Darnell faced similar agonizing soul-searching five years ago when he was offered rich producing deals elsewhere but ultimately opted to stay at Fox where he's had free reign on the unscripted side. This time around, he decided to leave the network, which he helped build, first with noise-making reality specials like World�s Scariest Police Chases and When Animals Attack! and then with tentpole series like American Idol and Family Guy. The colorful, unconventional, cowboy hat-wearing Darnell never shied away from controversy, relishing in the blockbuster attention projects like the Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? special and hit series Joe Millionaire brought on. In a� testament to Darnell's importance to Fox and parent News Corp., News. Corp chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch has weighed in on his departure. �Mike took risks at a critical time and was a pioneering force in shaping the reality programming genre that exists today," Murdoch said. ...

Marry Me or Break Up with Me?
I'm a 30-year-old divorced single mom with one kid. I've been with a guy (one year younger and has never married) for almost 2 years now. We have occasional fights here and there but in general we enjoy being with each other and I believe he's made my life a much better place with lots of laughter and amazing sex.
Early on in the relationship, we had both agreed never to get married. Neither of us believe in marriage. For me, it's quite obvious since divorce is a scary thing. For him, he was betrayed by his last girlfriend of three and a half years. He reasoned that since breaking up with her, he no longer believed in true love, marriage, etc.However, as time goes by, my feelings for him grow stronger each day and I can't imagine my life without him. Yesterday, during a conversation, I suddenly thought of a hypothetical question, just to test the depth of his feelings for me. I asked him, "If I gave you only two choices, marry me or break up with me, what would you do?" I also explained it's just for fun because I'm truly not ready for marriage at this stage of my life.
To my surprise, he answered without any hesitation that, "You knew beforehand my principle of never getting married, so if you gave me those options, I'd break up with you." I was, of course, devastated. I thought with time his feelings for me would grow and he would do whatever it takes to be with me just like I would do the same with him. I didn't think he'd give up on me that easily. However, I was proven wrong... very wrong.
I couldn't imagine how he'd be able to say such a cruel thing to me straight away. He could have said, "I don't know" or "I need time to think. I can't answer you now." That wouldn't be ideal but still better then his actual answer.What he said crushed my heart terribly. All those wonderful memories we have don't seem to mean anything to him. I'm now considering breaking up with him. It's just hard to go on with someone who doesn't love you. Even if he still treats me nicely like he always does, I'm sure things will never be the same after this, at least on my side. Last night after going home, I texted him saying, "Let's stop talking for a while. I need some time by myself to think and re-evaluate the relationship." I don't want to make a hasty decision.
Should I break up with him or not? Or is this the price I have to pay for being stupid enough to still believe in true love? It's a very hard decision for me because my life has been so much better since he came along. I can't imagine how I can go on without him. But his words truly break my heart.
A side note for those who may be concerned about my kid, she won't be affected at all by the breakup as I live with my parents and they don't allow me to introduce him to my daughter until we consider marriage as they fear our relationship won't last. Thank God they are so right about this, or else my child will be hurt too.

MILF proposal is designed to keep the country intact, not dismembered
The MILF proposal is designed to make sure that the country is not dismembered. Its purpose is to make sure that national integrity and national territory is preserved. This is the clear common ground of both the Philippine Government and the MILF.
But we do miss the obvious. We miss the things right in front of our very noses. Why? Perhaps because precisely it is how our minds are designed. We are constantly on the look out for what is complex. We are enamored by complex solutions and the more complex articulation of these complex solutions. If a solution is too obvious, our minds dismiss it right away as way too simple to be of any value. If it is too obvious, it must not be that important or effective.
Why do miss the point that the MILF proposal that seeks to preserve the national integrity and territory of the Philippines? Because the MILF use big, threatening words that immediately strike fear and anxiety in the hearts and minds of the super majority and which, in turn, is stoked and fanned by individuals and organizations that profit from the conflict in Mindanao. The word "substate", for example, is a word that sounds like "state" and triggers fear of Muslim domination and rule. Judging by the reaction of people to the proposal, everyone has a strong opinion on it. My question: how many of the political pundits, commentators, op-ed writers, radio talk show hosts, politicians, government officials, "twitter" revolutionaries and the population at large have seen or read the details of this so-called "substate" proposal? None. Zero. Nil. Why? Because only the GPH negotiating panel has seen it. Yet despite the clear ignorance, many people have strong opinions on it.
Clearly, both the GPH and MILF panels need to rethink this policy of confidentiality. Why keep the initial documents (GPH's "3+1″ and MILF's "substate" proposals) secret when it would benefit the negotiations if these were made public. If the parties continue to deprive the public of information about what these proposals really contain, the prejudices and the biases of the people will supply the details.
Lastly, negotiations they say is all about "trade-off" – you give up something valuable, important, an advantage, something that you possess dearly and the giving up of which diminishes you. The MILF, based on their proposal, gave up its demand for independence and seeks a solution that corrects the imbalance of the political relationship between the Filipino and the Bangsamoro under one Philippine citizenship, one Philippine flag and one Philippine territory. They are seeking the exercise of genuine self-determination within the context of one Philippines. Giving up the demand for independence is risky for any revolutionary secessionist group as the demand for independence is a source of power, myth and mobilization. Such decision opens the organization to internal splits and thus weakens it in the long run. What is not clear to me however in this initial exchange is what the Philippine Government, in its "3+1" proposal, gave up?

Coal City voters approve video gaming referendum
63 percent of voters vote 'Yes'
COAL CITY, Ill. — Coal City voters approved a referendum at the polls Tuesday to allow video gambling machines in village establishments that serve alcohol.
Just over 1,400 residents, or 63.55 percent of voters, voted yes on the non-binding referendum, while 812, or 36.45 percent, voted no.
The referendum stemmed from the village board's summer discussion of the topic, which was brought up when the Illinois Gaming Board approached the village at the opening of the application process for establishments.

The fight for the 30th Congressional District between Congressmen Howard Berman and Brad Sherman heated up further Wednesday with the launch of www.bradshermanfacts.com. A press release issued by Berman's campaign office announced the launch, and said that the site highlighted "Sherman's lack of accomplishments in office."
The site claims that Sherman has only passed three bills in Congress during his 15 years in office and failed to pass 84.
It also contains a document that it claims is an internal email from Sherman to his staff, instructing his staff on his policies on co-sponsorship guidelines. The site then states:
"Instead of writing bills or working to pass the ones he's written, Brad Sherman instructs his staff to look for opportunities to add his name to bills that already look like they're going to pass — except for appropriations bills, which require that he 'put in real thought.'"
Sherman's campaign press secretary, John Schwada, sent Patch an emailed response to the allegations:
"It is completely unremarkable that Cong. Sherman would seek to join forces with Democrats and Republicans to support legislation that has bi-partisan support. If this is the worst accusation Berman's camp can conjure out of this document then they're in far more trouble than even our recent poll shows (Sherman, according to our recent poll, has a 17 point lead over Berman).
"It would also be fair to say that a congressman's record - as has been pointed out by political scientists for decades - cannot be measured in terms of legislation authored. The congressional process is complicated, and Sherman has been a notable workhorse in congress - who, just for starters, helped prevent the three-quarters of a trillion dollar TARP legislation from becoming a disastrous boondoggle for Wall Street's biggest financial players.
"It should also be pointed out that our rival, Howard Berman, in the first 12 years he was in office did not author a single piece of legislation that was signed into law."
Sherman's campaign office also issued a press release that noted the Feldman Group's latest poll gives the Congressman a 17-point lead over Berman. An April poll also indicated that Sherman was in the lead.

In life when we want something different than what we have we must undergo a shift in our thinking and behavior to get there. It's the chicken and the egg.
What comes first? Most of us have to start from the bottom. To get from the bottom to the top, we have to drench ourselves in stories about the top. We have to see ourselves at the top. We have to visualize what it feels like to be at the top.
The reason for this is the law of attraction. In other words, what we focus on grows.
If a person is broke, it is most likely they are telling themselves a constant narrative about being broke. They feel broke. They think about being broke. Feelings become thoughts which become things. This person will tell everyone what they can't afford. They will attract other people and events in their lives that have an aura of "scarcity."
If all a person talks about is being stressed, sick, broke, tired, and taken advantage of–that's exactly what will happen. A person will attract things that make them stressed, sick, broke, tired and taken advantage of.
Did you know we are essentially a blend of the five people we spend the most time with? Think about that for a minute.
If we are feeling fat it's most likely that we will continue to exhibit behaviors that reinforce that feeling. We will eat unhealthy food, won't push ourselves when exercising, and we will continue to tell a story of fat.
Basically to achieve what we really want–underneath layers of ego and denial–we have to tell ourselves we're already there.
If we are not wealthy, we must tell ourselves we're wealthy to create an aura of plenty. If we are not at our goal weight, we must do things that make us feel sleek and beautiful even if we don't necessarily feel that way all the time.
We must act "as if."
After months of telling a new story the texture of life will begin to change.
A journey of change is never a straight shot. We make progress and fumble taking a few steps back. Then we get back up and continue in the direction of the dream.
If you want to change your life, you need to change that story. Start by being 5% more aware of what you say out loud. Look at the events and people in your life, and your reaction to those events and people. What is your state? Our friend Tony Robbins says if you want to change your life you must change your state.
He's right.

I always appreciate it when people give me thier experiences in reguards to gifts.
I think if you had said "don't buy that for kids because it celebrates war" or some other political/moral judgment, you'd be rude. I think pointing out physical danger or frustration elements with regard to age is just helpful - you're giving them relatively factual information they may not know that could help them make an informed decision on purchases.

Listened to this song a few times while taking the subway in New York. Now every time I hear it, I think of the Big Apple. Oh how I miss that place.
Unbelievable singer. If you like it check out his appearance on "Live @ Daryl's House"
