that happens all the time.
Remember who we are talking about here- Boehner, McConnell, Cantor,etc. What in their history gives anyone confidence that they will even attempt to repeal it?
Each such abuse will now need be struck down in tedious, time consuming individual processes. In many cases after the damage is already done.
Striking down a law based on the failure of Constitutional compliance of one section or component (as this should have been) already had precedent. There is nothing new there.
What is new is that ANY law can be massaged by ANY Court to become compliant. Not just the Supreme Court.. remember the Supreme Court has set precedent for lower courts to allow this.
I would caution my fellow conservatives on the frustration they may be enticed to express at Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. It is unwarranted, and it is unwise.
The reason I state such is that it is my firm belief that the Roberts' decision on the Obamacare mandate will without question bring about ultimate doom to the government control of healthcare, and through the best means possible--not judicial activism--but through the democratic process.
In boxing terminology no one has pulled a "rope-a-dope" this effective since Muhammad Ali himself. In doing so, it is clear that John Roberts duped the liberal...

This fireplace is exactly what I wanted. The mantle is solid and very well made. It took about 30 minutes to put together, but my husband is amazIng at putting things together. I thought the directions could have been clearer, but he figured it out quickly. I love the heat it provides. It makes the bedroom so cozy.

Hair Loss Syndrome Strikes States Deer Herd CDFW Highlights Wildlife Stories of 2013 January 9, 2014 California, CDFW News California's migratory deer population is suffering from what wildlife experts call "hair loss" syndrome. However, the real problem appears to be from the infestation of non-native lice with symptoms that range from a scruffy looking hair coat to near complete baldness. Researchers are not sure how the lice arrived, but they do suspect it is having serious impacts to the state's deer population. Wildlife biologists speculate that the deer spend so much time grooming that they become easy targets of prey for coyotes, mountain lions and other carnivores. This impacts the survival rate of fawns, which is less than half of what it should be.

Rim Fire Impacts Deer Hunting in Stanislaus National Forest September 13, 2013 California, CDFW News ... CDFW considered recommending an emergency closure of the hunt zone for species conservation. The department chose not to because deer are an adaptable species that evolved with wildfire in the Sierra Nevada, that deer for the most part, had the capability to escape the fire, that the majority of the deer population in the area are female (does) and are not hunted anyhow, and that part of the zone remains unaffected and could be hunted. Typically in the Sierra Nevada, deer populations respond favorably to large wildfires because of the abundant growth of new herbaceous and shrub vegetation that deer rely upon.

Tweets Related to California Department of Fish and Wildlife The Decline of the California Deer Population As habitat disappears, so does California's deer population April 14, 2012 McClatchydc.com ... since 1990, California has lost nearly half its deer population, according to the state Department of Fish and Game... This forest icon is on the wane mainly for one simple reason: habitat loss... Deer require a particular type of forest habitat called "early seral." ... The natural sources of this deer food have been largely eliminated by a century of fire suppression in forests – the same problem that has caused forests to become overstocked with small, young trees that now pose an enormous fire risk. A paper describing how changing forest management practices have reduced deer habitat in California, CDFG, Habitat Guidelines for Mule Deer, 2007 You Wouldn't Know How Far The Deer Population in the State of California Has Fallen If You Relied on the Graphic on the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Website The bottom part of the graph below (dark blue line) was taken from the CDFW website, the brown line is the estimate from our population model that takes alternative assumptions for the reporting rate and the sex of the deer harvest then takes weighted average of the estimate for each year and applies a two year moving average against the harvest data. This estimate was presented to the Western Section of the Wildlife Society's meeting in 2014. The CDFW graph significantly distorts the deer population trend. Read the recently published peer-reviewed research paper [PDF] documenting this information. Issues with California Deer Management The harvest data for 2011 shows a steep decline, but the CDFW explains this as a result of the new tag sales system, Automated License Data System (ALDS) that was deployed in January, 2011, and a nearly 20 percent increase in non-reporting [California Big Game Hunting Digest 2012, page 21. This information was removed from the web site in about February, 2013. The harvest data for 2012 was not posted in time for public comment at the April Big Game Meeting to set tag quotas. Last year the data was posted around mid March. Other states have implemented similar systems without a significant drop off in reporting. Non-reporting is illegal and is estimated. This harvest data is one of the primary inputs into the state's deer population model. [double click image to enlarge] The CDFW's estimated increase in the deer population for 2012 contradicts the results of the deer harvest reports and many news articles included the the Deer Population News Archive on this site that indicated the deer population was suffering a severe decline. Using a simple estimate that hunters reported kill reflects the long term average of about 3.5 percent of the total population, the 2012 population estimate would be 294,000, well below the 489,000 provided by CDFW. In an effort to boost population, does are not often hunted legally in California. In 2011 the harvest of bucks by age class was: Two point bucks: 51.2%; Three point bucks: 29.9%; Four point bucks: 15.4%; Four point plus bucks: 2.7%. It is illegal to shoot a two point buck in many states. The very high proportion of immature bucks taken as harvest and the very low buck to doe ratio contrasts with the efforts of quality deer management that many states have enacted since 2000 where buck age restrictions and some balance of the buck to doe ratio has been considered essential in maintaining a healthy herd. For example, here is a recent article about reform of deer management in South Carolina: Deer hunters better off thanks to outreach of Bogart non-profit October 17, 2012 South Carolina, Oconee Enterprise [In 1988] South Carolina ... Bucks were overhunted, and does were treated like sacred cows. The annual harvest was dominated by bucks no more than a year and a half old. "They thought that it was because of inbreeding that bucks were getting smaller," said Joe Hamilton [of Quality Deer Management] ... Hamilton, a graduate of the UGA School of Forestry, was familiar with a book, "Producing Quality Whitetails," written by Al Brothers in Texas. For some reason, his methods had not made it beyond the vast state borders of Texas... A long time observer of the California deer expresses concern about current management policies: California Black-tailed Deer, where are they? September 15, 2012 Examiner.com, Jeffrey Banke [Jeff Banke is a freelance photographer who has been teaching Hunter Education for the California Dept. of Fish & Game for 18 years, is one of only 7 Master Instructors in the State.]... As a photographer ... searching for black-tailed deer to photograph became more and more difficult to locate animals this year ... interviewing Sierra Pacific employees who are in the woods logging for months at a time who have seen very few deer confirm this observers own research. It would seem in conclusion, that if we do not have some radical changes in both the wildlife management approach by the DFG ... then we are on a continuing downward spiral... Problems with Maintaining a Low Buck-to-Doe Ratio A recent study in Spain concludes " There is published evidence for undesirable effects of biased population sex ratio and age structure in these red deer populations. Our results indicate that this type of management may be unsustainable and recommend that harvest on males in open estates should be reduced and that on females increased, in order to maintain a more balanced population structure that may allow sustainable population dynamics and the operation of natural evolutionary processes." Hunters must adjust to Oct. doe season October 20, 2012 West Virginia, Charleston Gazette ... "The specific benefit to the deer herd is that it will compress the breeding season," Johansen explained. "When there are too many females in a deer population, the rut gets extended because it takes too much time for bucks to service all the does." Instead of taking a couple of weeks, the rut can stretch to almost a month... an extended rut inevitably leads to an extended birthing season for fawns the following spring ... "When the fawn drop is spread out over a long period of time, newborn fawns become much more susceptible to predators," he said. "Coyotes and other predators have several weeks to pick fawns off when they're most helpless." Officials hope for bigger early antlerless season October 19, 2013 West Virginia, Charleston Gazette ... By moving the bulk of the traditional antlerless season to October, DNR officials hoped to persuade hunters to take large numbers of female deer out of the population before the onset of the whitetail rut, or mating season. Biologists believed that reducing the number of females would compress the rut into a shorter time frame, which in turn would shorten the birthing season and reduce the amount of predation on newborn fawns... An ongoing study of deer in Wisconsin shows that predation is the second most cause of deer mortality after hunting, and "most predations occur within the first four to six weeks following birth" Study continues to monitor cause of mortality among Wisconsin deer February 6, 2013 WDNR Video discussing other problems as a result of low Buck-to-Doe Ratio Age
Matters September
23, 2012 Pennsylvania, BowHunting.com In 2012, Utah dramatically reduced the number of tags: 2012 general-season buck deer hunt begins Saturday with big changes October 18, 2012 Utah, Cache Valley Daily ... "Although deer herd populations won't see a big increase there will be an increase in buck-to-doe ratio," Douglas said. "This means for hunters that the quality of deer will go up. We may not see these increases in the next year but in the future that quality will increase." "Back in the 70s and 80s the number of tags given out was around 210,000. This year we have around 50,000 tags, 25 percent of that number. People have said for a long time that they would like better quality and fewer hunters." Fetal Surveys Showing Deer Management Isn't 'One Size Fits All July 5, 2013 Alabama, DeerandDeerHunting ... If there is one buck for her, she's going to be bred around the last week of January. But if there are 10 does to one buck, it might be February or maybe March before she gets bred." ... there a misconception about the number of does a single buck is able to breed during one estrus cycle... "He's going to go with her wherever she goes until she is ready to breed ... "Some people are saying they're going to save a buck to do most of their breeding for next year. But most studies show that a buck is only siring two to three fawns per year if they're lucky." ... In the study area on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, apparently mountain lion numbers have increased while deer numbers declined to about one-eighth their peak numbers in the 1950s.. In the study area on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada, apparently mountain lion numbers have increased while deer numbers declined to about one-eighth their peak numbers in the 1950s. Neal, along with George Steger (also with PSW), studied the California mule deer in the Sierra Nevada from 1970 to 1985 as part of an interagency effort to reverse the decline. This effort showed that the decline was primarily due to loss of fawns during the first 6-8 months of life. |

Finding a profitable niche is crucial to making it in the online world. If you're targeting the wrong niche, you're just wasting all your time and effort. That is why it is important for you to target the right niche from the onset.
Even though money on the Internet doesn't come quite as easy as it used to, it is still possible for new home business owners to enter the world of Internet marketing and reap substantial amounts of profit.
There are many work from home moms who have entered this arena and are making a fortune online. Internet marketing is continually expanding and parents that stay at home can certainly take advantage of this.
Working from home gives you more flexibility and control over your schedule. You can work during hours best suited to your life-style, which allows you to also enjoy the company of your children. The Internet makes it possible for work from home moms and dads to take care of their family at home while earning a healthy income online.
The quickest and easiest way to start cashing in online is to sell products as an affiliate. There are countless products sold online that target very specific niches, for example, dog shampoo. If you spend the time and effort to market these products, you can earn generous commissions from the sales you make.
Another way that requires a little more effort, but ultimately will be more rewarding as a business, is to start your own niche website. The great thing about this is your own interests can match your chosen niche or business.
I can personally vouch that it's an absolute delight when your hobby becomes your business. When I was little, I used to love coloring the pictures in those kiddie coloring books. Ever since then, I have loved using colors and creating all kinds of designs. Now I have an online business where I offer premium WordPress theme kits that focus on specific niches. The themes have top-notch functionality, and this enables anyone to quickly set up a professional-looking website with very little effort. …And I'm loving every minute of what I do.
But to get back on track, how do you determine the most profitable niches to target?
Keyword research is essential. Keywords can make or break you, so it is imperitive that you identify the most profitable keywords and phrases. These keywords are what online users type in search engine boxes. Highly searched keywords have great money-making potential.
You can use keyword research tools such as Google AdWords and Wordtracker to pinpoint the most popular keywords and phrases that belong to your chosen niche.
When trying to find niche with good income potential, go for one that is not too saturated, yet generates enough interest that it will be worth your time and effort.
Select niches with high popularity yet relatively low competition. If there is too much competition, it may be hard for you to enter that market and put yourself in an advantageous position.
You also need to consider the products available for the niche that you can sell. If you're at a loss as to what to focus on when selecting a niche, check out my premium WordPress theme kits that focus on specific niches for some ideas.

If Canelo is so confident in his star-power, he should put on his own PPV. Canelo/Angulo will be the main event, not sure what would be the other two fights though. It would be an interesting experiment to see how much GBP has really accomplished. |

Let's see what you can draw as a PPV a-side Canelo, fight Angulo (I would say Trout but I think Angulo while a much easier fight is the better seller) in March.
It is a risk but there could be some real benefits especially financial. |

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Joe Torre says he's not ruling anything out, but he doesn't anticipate managing anywhere else, including Chicago.
Torre's name has emerged as a possible candidate to replace Lou Piniella, who is retiring as Cubs manager at season's end.
"I don't want to rule anything out, but at this point in time I'm certainly not thinking of going anywhere else," he said Wednesday.

Hi-Rez - Growing Love
Artist: Hi-Rez
Producer: Ako
Album: The Window Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 4 total votes )
Hip-Hop is no stranger to personification. A classic example would be Common's I Used to Love H.E.R, but for a more recent case look no further than Hi-Rez, who treats Mary Jane, the plant, as if she were a real woman. While originally placed on his May '12 mixtape The Window, the visuals for Hi-Rez' single Growing Love are brand new. On the self-directed video, littered with news reports and pop culture references about the legalization of marijuana, Rez is seen lighting one up as he shares his love for the powerful and oh-so-popular plant. Backed by a drum driven production from Ako, Rez, despite his ever-blunted state, displays a crisp flow, used in a not-so-shy manner to trace the root (pun intended) of the topic at hand. Those who desire another hit of the Floridian's intoxicating style should check out his last Booth feature, December's The Remedy.

A-List Beauty
Have you ever wondered why celebrities have such smooth, glowing skin? Sure, they're blessed with great genes and a team of professional makeup artists -- but when it comes to real celebrity complexion perfection, it's regular facials that help keep them red-carpet ready. These are not just any facials; they know who to call to get the best, and her name is Joanna Czech.
Star-studded skin careJoanna Czech -- famed aesthetician to the stars at Paul Labrecque Salon and Spa -- regularly gives a bevy of red-carpet regulars and A-list celebs their enviable glow. Czech, whose regular clientele is a Who's Who of gorgeous stars including Kate Winslet, Uma Thurman, Kim Cattrall, Sting, Trudie Styler, Cate Blanchett, Kyra Sedgwick and Christy Turlington, is well regarded for her amazing beauty and skin treatments and advice. She let us in on some of her celebrity skin-saving secrets. When we asked what it is about her facials that has attracted such a star-studded following, she said, "Cruel honesty and personalized, customized treatments depending upon the client's age, day, season or month of the year." And the facials work. Skin care dos & don'tsCzech says over-exfoliating and over-peeling are two of the biggest skin care mistakes she sees her clients making. These two facial faux pas can lead to redness, irritation and an otherwise less-than-ideal complexion. Sun exposure, poor diet and not enough hydration are the other issues that lead to skin losing its luster. "The most common complaint is dehydration," Czech says. "I tell clients they can combat this with a proper moisturizing nighttime regime." Her must-have product picks include Environ and Nude Skincare. Nude contains pre- and probiotics, while Environ contains vitamins A, C and E and antioxidants -- all important skin-boosting ingredients. Must-have facialOf all the treatments Czech offers, A-listers line up quickest for Sapphire 3 Photo Abrasion Therapy -- an innovative exfoliation treatment that uses LED light therapy and granules of sapphire to erase fine lines and tighten skin. "After cumulative treatments, LED light application reduces the appearance of wrinkles, acne blotchiness and age spots," Czech explains. "LED therapy stimulates collagen production, promotes cell growth and faster healing, destroys bacteria and is a perfect anti-aging procedure." Czech also offers ultrasound water peels and soothing facials that incorporate products from Nude and Environ.

Charlie Nye / The Star / Charlie Nye / The Star
The Indiana Court of Appeals reversal Thursday of a lower court ruling clears the way for the state to seek up to $177 million in a breach of contract suit against IBM over a failed welfare-services system.
The appellate court sent the case back to Marion Superior Court and ordered it to determine a damage amount for the state.
In the most basic aspect of this contract providing timely services to the poor IBM failed, Chief Judge Nancy H. Vaidik wrote in the majority opinion.
Marion Superior Court Judge David Dreyer in 2012 awarded IBM $52 million and said the company was not in violation of its contract terms. The state fired IBM in 2009 and claimed breach of contract after hundreds of millions of dollars were spent for a system that generated widespread complaints of delayed benefits.
Although the appellate court on Thursday agreed with Dreyer that IBM was entitled to about $50 million for equipment and services provided, the court reversed the judge on the larger matter over breach of contract.
The ruling means the state could win up to $177 million, an amount based on what it originally sought in its suit against IBM.
This is huge, said John Maley, an attorney for Barnes & Thornburg, an Indianapolis law firm hired by the state. The whole paradigm has shifted.
The ruling indicated that the services the state did receive were not relevant toward fulfilling the terms of the contract.
Whether IBM materially breached the contract does not require balancing the number of benefits the State received versus the number of performance standards that IBM failed, the 92-page ruling said. Rather, the issue is whether any breach went to the essence of the contract to provide and expand access to services for welfare recipients in a timely, reliable, and efficient manner.
Then-Gov. Mitch Daniels outsourced the intake of welfare clients to private contractors led by IBM in 2006. But he canceled the 10-year, $1.37 billion contract with the Armonk, N.Y.-based company in 2009 after a flood of complaints about performance from clients, their advocates and federal officials. At the time, the state had paid IBM $437 million.
The legal wrangling began soon after, and in his earlier ruling, Deyer expressed exasperation with the entire affair.
Neither party deserves to win this case, Dreyer wrote in his 65-page ruling. This story represents a perfect storm of misguided government policy and overzealous corporate ambition. Overall, both parties are to blame, and Indianas taxpayers are left as apparent losers.
A spokesman for IBM said the company disagreed with Thursdays ruling.
IBM is disappointed with the conclusions in the majority opinion of the appellate court, IBM spokesman Todd Martin said in a prepared statement. We feel confident we fulfilled our contractual obligations and will continue to seek relief in the Indiana courts.
Daniels, now president of Purdue University in West Lafayette, said in a prepared statement that firing IBM was the right decision.
Todays emphatic victory confirms both the legality and the soundness of the decision to replace IBM in reforming a broken welfare system, he said. Changing from IBM to a different private provider produced an enormous success for welfare recipients, who now receive vastly better and fairer service than ever before, and for taxpayers, who are saving tens of millions every year.
David Sklar, past president of the Indiana Coalition for Human Services, agreed that welfare services have improved since IBM was fired. But, he said, the state should have seen the problems coming before IBM was hired.
A lot of questions were raised when the system was privatized, Sklar said. Was this the best system? Would they be able to handle it? It became clear to us it was not ready.
The trial court ruling that the state had to pay IBM had added insult to injury, Sklar said.
The state had spent a lot of money on the system, on litigation, and then had to pay damages, he said. It is nice to know that some problems have been placed on the contractor.

I have been looking for a red chest for a guest house. This one had two good reviews, and being an overstocks customer, I felt comfortable ordering it. It arrived in about a week, and when we opened the box, it appeared to be well packaged, and no damage. Of course, when we look it out and moved it into the room, it had the left rear corner that had been broken and repaired and repainted obviously in China. There was no signs of damage. Then we looked on the left size, and it was so broken, that I immediately called overstocks. They were nice, and offered a replacement, but I am afraid to try it again. This is Chinese furniture, and frankly I will not buy any of it again. The price was right, but when they start repairing damaged goods and shipping them to the US, I quit. Very unhappy.
I hemmed and hawed for at least six weeks about whether to buy this chest. The size, shape and seemingly sturdy quality were just what I was looking for as an accept piece in my living room The color, however, worried me. Not having other reviews to read and thinking this might just be too bright, I finally decided to go for it anyway. For me: too bright. Friends and relatives, however say it's a terrific color. Hmmmmm So.....I found furniture restorer will will paint it for $160 dollars. Worth it. It IS a sturdy, contemporary-ish piece. It arrived in perfect condition AND WAS FULLY ASSEMBLED EXCEPT FOR THE LEGS which were easy enough to screw in.
The color is a cherry red and I think represented well with the picture. The measurements are spot on and the quality is great. Nothing to complain about.

Fantasy island
A widely reported story, courtesy of the BBC, appeared last week describing the unusual case of Sandy Island, a south Pacific island between Australia and New Caledonia. Although the island appeared on Google Maps and Google Earth, a research team from Australia were unable to locate it when they went to investigate. Expecting to find a 'sizeable' strip of land, the researchers found instead 1,400 m of deep blue sea. In their defence Google commented that they did consult a number of authoritative data sources for their maps, and the island did appear to be a genuine feature.
It seems the island never really existed and was most likely the product of an error that had gone unnoticed and had been perpetuated over the years. This story touched on a number of issues we discussed in The GIS Guide to Public Domain Data including the use of assertive versus authoritative data sources. What does authoritative really mean and how far should we go to get the definitive answer? Should we no longer rely solely on the traditional sources of geographic data when it seems even they can't be guaranteed, and always get a second opinion? Prof. Michael Goodchild (Univ. of California, Santa Barbara) discusses a hybrid solution in a paper entitled 'Assertion and Authority: The Science of User Generated Geographic Content' and sees the merits in taking advantage of the expertise and knowledge accumulated by the traditional data providers (national mapping agencies, survey companies and so on) but also taking advantage of independent verification from volunteer groups, research teams and other interested individuals and organisations.
Future developments in data capture and verification will probably mean cases like this should be rare. However given the rate of change in both the physical and man-made environment and the ever-present possibility of mis-interpretation, the 'definitive map' will probably remain an elusive goal.
