Putting in a first-class mailbox is a simple way to add to your home's curb appeal and to put your personal stamp on your property.
Your local True Value hardware store has the products and expert advice you need to make this project a success.
Step 1. Choose a MailboxBefore you begin, contact your local post office to check mailbox regulations. If you are moving your mailbox or mailbox support, the Postal Service needs to approve your mailbox. Find out how high your mailbox needs to be and how far it should be from the road. The common mailbox regulation height is 42" from the bottom of the mailbox to the ground. You will have to place it away from the curb about 6 to 8" from the side of the road. Your mailbox must also be on the right-hand side of the road and in your mail carrier's direction of travel. This allows the postal worker to safely pull over to deliver your mail.
There are a variety of mailbox kits to choose from and many include mounting posts. When choosing the style, consider the architectural design of your home. You can go with a practical, no-nonsense mailbox or choose a more creative option to add your own personal touch.
Step 2. Dig a HoleUse a post-hole digger and excavate about twice as wide as the diameter of the post and about 2' deep. Add 6" of gravel at the bottom to help with drainage. Place the post into the hole and check to see if your mailbox will meet the height specifications per your post office's regulations.
Step 3. Prepare ConcreteFollowing the manufacturer's directions, mix quick-drying concrete and water in a large bucket or wheelbarrow.
Step 4. Plant the PostHold the post so it's centered in the hole. It helps to have someone hold the post steady as you shovel the prepared concrete mix into the hole. Use a level to make sure the post is straight. Slope the concrete around the base of the post to allow for water runoff. Level the concrete off with a shovel, just a few inches on top of the hole. To reduce any air pockets, poke a small stick into the concrete in a few random places.
Step 5. Attach MailboxLet the concrete dry overnight. Once it has set, follow the instructions to attach your mailbox to the top of the post.
Good job! Your attractive new mailbox boosts your curb appeal. For all your home projects, head to your local True Value hardware store for all the tools, products and expert advice you need to start right.

NYC Woman Who Was 73 When raped: 'Rot In Hell'
NEW YORK (AP) - A New York City woman has harsh words for the rapist who victimized her when she was 73 years old and watching birds in Central Park. The woman called David Albert Mitchell a "sexual terrorist" as he was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison. She described the attack and injuries including a damaged jaw and told Mitchell: "May you rot in hell for all eternity."
Mitchell pleaded guilty this month to raping and robbing her in September 2012. The 43-year-old Mitchell is from Jenkinjones, W.Va., and has a long criminal record. It includes being charged with but not convicted of sexually assaulting two women over age 70. He also went to prison in the abduction of an ex-girlfriend.

The NBA is revamping its popular All-Star Weekend festivities and Wade and Los Angeles Clippersstar Chris Paul have been chosen as captains in a new format that will pit the conferences against each other. The league will get final say on the participants but Wade and Paul have been consulted.
Wade said former Marquette teammate and New York Knicks forward Steve Novak would be in the contest and that current Heat teammate Ray Allen would not be so Allen could have the time off.

4 Stars Garden Markers
I love gardening and these are perfect for labeling my plants, e from VA wrote (March 19, 2012):
Only thing I did not like is that the magnets are not well mounted and they cause some of the name plates not to hold evenly. They are high quality being that they are made of cast iron and should last for years to come. They have a vintage look and look very nice in my garden.

THUMPERS // Velveteen
Unfortunately, the disconcerting reality is that so many of the new bands that us music blogs construct new ways to be hyperbolic about won't actually make it round to making an album of any note that will be remembered in one year's time, let alone ten. So the fact that THUMPERS are having to give away faultlessly put together disconsolate pop songs like 'Velveteen' that didn't even make the cut of their debut 7", 'Dancing's Done', is more than encouraging.
It's hardly like melodically driven indie pop is much of a startling revelation, so it says a lot that that description actually comes nowhere close to conveying the appeal of the London based duo. Essentially, it's a simple idea, but one that THUMPERS are doing immeasurably better than most of their contemporaries. 'Velveteen', though more reticent than their singles, draws you into a patiently more insistent vocal which swells into an emotionally charged male/female chorus. It feels unmistakably disconsolate, yet somehow euphoric, and for pulling off that balancing act alone, you may as well go and pick up their debut 7". You never know, if all goes according to plan, you may even find yourself picking up an LP of theirs' one day – for my self-respect, let's hope so.

Posted Mar 30, '11 at 11:31pm
I'm not sure if my voice falls on deaf ears but I'm postponing continuing the game again until sunday probably because I've been buried in work and getting home really late. I'm still taking charge of this unless someone who used to be active on this gives me a good reason they should help.

Yes but with this is type of game with more programmers i can get more done and besides for that its a community project.
There aren't really many programmers in the community and even less that are active.
You should just work on it yourself, if you make a new thread you are unlikely to get many people and after a few days lose most of them anyway. Look now, only you and I are active in this thread. If I were you I would just work on it myself, maybe in the future as this community grows, the new website gives us the ability to post code blocks and edit posts we might see a resurgence of interest.
Posted Mar 31, '11 at 6:50am
If you thinks it's pointless to try to get more people involved i won't.
Posted Mar 31, '11 at 10:50am
Well I'm not saying it's pointless but this thread has been here a while and not many new people have responded.
Posted Mar 31, '11 at 6:27pm
Than i guess I'll try but if not enough people respond (maybe 5 people) than i won't use any of them.

Posted Apr 2, '11 at 8:54pm
I havent done anything recently due to a lot of work but I have 5 games made and when I get time I'm starting another thread to recruit people.
Posted Apr 3, '11 at 1:05pm
what about the menu? the sound? music? graphics? style?
Posted Apr 3, '11 at 1:43pm
Menu - We'll work on after
sound - also after
graphics - each programmer makes their own
style - same as graphics and probably simple

There's some troubleshooting information (and walkthroughs and stuff) on the wiki. People have reported scenes not loading; we had to put them in separate Flash files because they're so large. You can go to our website and download the offline version.
If that doesn't help your problem, send me a bug report in a private message. Be sure to include lots of detail about what happens...and make the subject 'Bug report' so I know it's important!

This paper focuses on the dynamics of international financial integration for a set of 13 industrial countries including Australia over the period 1990 to 2003 by analysing data on the level and composition of foreign assets and liabilities. The study provides insights into the broad trends on cross-country holdings and investigates the correlation of international asset positions with various 'explanatory variables' such as the degree of financial restrictions, the depth of financial markets, the openness to international trade, etc. The results show that the growth in goods trade and stock market capitalization are the main determinants of the growth in the scale of international balance sheets.

Vision Statement
Our vision, guided by our Catholic Identity, Dominican heritage, and University commitments, is to best prepare our students to become who they were called to be.
Call to Our Students
"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire." -St. Catherine of Siena
Student Centered
Students are active participants in their learning and development and we attempt to empower them to assume responsibility for their college experience so that each one might begin to self-author their own transformation into leadership. Recognizing the unique attributes and characteristics of our students, our work in student affairs focuses on providing programs and services that integrate students' needs and interests with the Barry University mission and core commitments.
Respect for Self and Others
Individuals must first demonstrate dignity, humility, integrity and pride in and of themselves before they can expect to earn these qualities from others. In the spirit of community, individuals should extend the same courtesies and privileges to others that are extended to and expected of oneself.
Self-Discovery and Discernment
A vibrant an engaged campus life provides opportunities and experiences for students to question, explore and uncover Who they are and Who they were call to be. We believe individual transformation and achievement is inherent and we strive to assist students in the process of discerning and responding to their values, beliefs, interests, passions, and convictions.
Integrated Learning
Our programs offer opportunities for students to reflect upon, connect, synthesize and understand knowledge and experiences in a way that enables them to apply skills and competencies in various personal and professional settings.
Spiritual Formation
We invite our students, where they are, into an active and meaningful relationship with the Divine that is intended towards deepening one's faith and understanding their capacity to live in a value based community.
Reflection & Application
Opportunities to mirror, observe, deepen or add complexity to one's understanding of an idea, concept, or reality, and then to put to special use or purpose what one has realized in the deepening of their understanding is essential.
Personal & Social Responsibility
We believe that students can live up to high standards of personal behavior and demonstrate character and virtue. The human person is both sacred and social. By recognizing one's self in relation to the others and the world, everyone has a social responsibility to contribute to the greater good of Barry University and society.
Diversity & Social Justice
Grounded in our Catholic identity, we believe the inherent dignity of each unique individual is where the moral vision for the Barry community begins. We seek to explore and understand the multiple dimensions of our identity in a safe and nurturing environment. We strive to create inclusive and welcoming communities that are characterized by compassion, respect and understanding which in turn cultivate dialogue, exploration, and understanding of our diversity. In doing so, we will move beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity so that a more humane and just society may prevail.
Service Excellence
Resource allocation will be matched with our vision, mission and actions to ensure goals and expectations are achieved in the interest of student success.

Marketing is changing. Fifteen top agency leaders share how the role of the agency is changing along with it.
Now that the recession is arguably over, direct marketing agencies are in an especially fortunate position. Given their efficiency and accountability, they're poised for success in the data driven digital marketing revolution — and business is finally beginning to grow, according to many agency heads.
Agencies finished last year with improved revenues and are racing to scoop up new business as marketers begin to shop again. This year, as Direct Marketing News interviewed executives at dozens of the leading firms, the message we heard over and over again was "revenues are back."
Marketing budgets were slashed in the recession, which led to reduced agency headcount and a strong focus on ROI. Agency leaders look to innovation and recovery for growth.
In DMNews' first annual Agency Business Report, we found that DM agencies continue to evolve in order to stay relevant in a complex age of cross-channel marketing.
A growing number of marketers are making digital marketing a top-shelf priority.
Think of telemarketing as a long-term activity, built on a solid database marketing approach, and you'll reap its greatest rewards.
Sales attribution is imperative for a company and its growth.

Air Streamin Beefy Ty Lebeouf and his pal Race Cooper are two good ole boys, parked on a couch next to their double wide, gettin drunk on cold beer and each other. Ty falls onto Races crotch and gobbles up his juicy dark meat, deepthroating it down to the base. Then Race goes to town on Tys slim jim before burying his face between those peachy asscheeks for a liquored-up rim job. Next he lubes up his hot rod and hes off to the races as he skewers Tys asshole, fucking him hard and dirty until both of them bust a nut.

Time for one great meal in Manhattan
I'm in and out of NYC later this week and have the time and the budget for one great kosher meal. I'd be grateful to hear opinions on who the leader of the pack is at the moment.
The one thing you need to know--and which accounts for the varying responses about the same restaurants--is that you have to ask whether Chef is "in the house" on the night you're planning to dine there. That's true if you read non-kosher reviews as well; on Chef's night off, the food definitely declines in quality and presentation, so one evening at Mikes' is fine and another is awful, or Prime Grill can be great on night and terrible on the next.
you might want to specify
what is your definition of
"budget" and "great".these are the best money can buy;

Oprah.com | December 05, 2006
She's a nine-time Grammy winner and designer of her own fashion line. Gayle talks to the beautiful Beyoncé Knowles about her starring role in the new movie
The film, adapted from the Tony award-winning musical, tells the story of a 1960s girl group on their quest for fame. Beyoncé plays Deena Jones, a backup singer whose stunning good looks quickly thrust her to center stage. "I knew in my heart that it was the role for me," she says.
To prepare for her part, Beyoncé says she lost 20 pounds. "Trust me, I love my fried food, I love my mom's food, I love my donuts," she says. "But when it came time for the movie, I was in the zone."
Gossip column rumors have swirled about an alleged rivalry between Beyoncé and co-star Jennifer Hudson. Beyoncé says nothing could be farther from the truth, and blames the press for its preoccupation with female feuds. "I don't think it's personal, but because we're females, unfortunately, that's how the media works," she says.
With both her music and acting career on fire, Beyoncé says she truly is living out her dream. "I really do feel like this cannot be real," she says. "Everything that's going on in my life...it really is a dream!"

When criticism is constructive it is very important to allow such, but your post offers nothing to users of this forum. You are clearly just promoting another sponsor of the forum on a topic designed to hurt a business rival.
If you can't pick up the phone to speak to Simon or another chap there then what is the whole point of you criticising them?
Emails disappear, messages don't work, people can't wait around for messages all day. Use common sense.
I am not hoping to receive anything free at all and we haven't actually bought from CPLTD but Simon did quote me for a big order and he was excellent.
For reasons that don't matter we didn't actually go with them in the end but I can assure you they were not about any lack of service.
Service from CPLTD at the quote stage was outstanding - fast, polite, professional & courteous and we certainly will be using them in the future.
I think accusing people of praising the company because they are getting freebies is outrageous and you should be ashamed of saying something like that with no evidence whatsoever!
You have no right to say that those complaining are genuine, and those supporting Simon are only out for what they can get!
I find that exceptionally insulting and gratuitous - I will say positive things about good suppliers, and negative things about bad ones, and I think that 90% of the members on here are the same, freebies or not.
BTW, I don't think that 'over 3 people' (what IS that, 4?) people complaining is really that good, given the number of members we have.
You are right, a thread should not be closed just because it refers to a supplier who pays to advertise on the site.
But it SHOULD be closed when the negative remarks and general nastiness have expanded to not only include the poor supplier (who, if you READ the posts, has contacted the OP and now everyone is happy) but the general membership
One thing I can say for a fact Jose DID send CP a PM and received no response I have found.
As a general rule I would make new threads per issue where as everyone has *jamp* on this thread in both + and -.
BTW this was posted AFTER the lock....

As a consequence of the design of a framework I'm targeting with a plugin, I've implemented a part of my code as a singleton. This class is responsible for handling connections to an external program with which I'm communicating from within the framework.
Enabling the external communication is a runtime setting, however, and if it is disabled, I don't want to allow access to it from models within the framework. I've implemented it using the version which is frequently recommended here:
class Communicator {
static Communicator& getInstance() {
static Communicator instance;
return instance;
// ...
static bool ServiceEnabled;
// Constructors, operator=, etc ...
Now, given that ServiceEnabled
is false
, I don't want to allow getInstance
to return a valid Communicator
. But since I return a reference, I can't simply return 0 or some such... What would proper behaviour be? Note that it is perfectly valid to continue execution even if ServiceEnabled
is false, so I can't just abort if it is.

Sponsor | Rep. Van Hollen, Chris |
Committee | House Administration |
Date | June 25, 2010 (111th Congress, 2nd Session) |
Staff Contact | Sarah Makin |
H.R. 5175 is expected to be considered on the floor of the House on Thursday, June 24, 2010, under a structured rule, allowing five amendments in order. The rule provides for one hour of debate, extends suspension authority through Friday, and also allows for the same-day consideration of H.R. 4213, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act of 2010. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) on April 29, 2010.
H.R. 5175 was introduced by Rep. Van Hollen (D-MD) in conjunction with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in late April. The Committee on House Administration marked up the bill on May 20, 2010, on a party-line five to three vote. After weeks of being unable to reach agreements on H.R. 5175, Democrats have accepted language that may help them get the necessary votes for passage.
The proposed legislation is a punitive measure for associations of persons who choose to exercise their right to free political speech as guaranteed by the Constitution, and affirmed in the Citizens United v. FEC case. The bill's disclosure requirements and limits on foreign corporations and government contractors target only the political speech of corporations, with no effect on unions, including foreign-influenced labor unions, public-employee unions, or government grant recipients.
Government Contractors: The bill prohibits independent expenditures and electioneering communications by anyone with a government contract over $10 million (this was increased from $50,000 to $10 million by the rule). This prohibition is not applied to unions in collective bargaining agreements with the government, unions who receive dues from government payroll deduction, or grant recipients.
TARP Recipients: The bill prohibits independent expenditures and electioneering communications by TARP recipients who have not fully repaid their federal funds, but does not prohibit unions of TARP companies from such communications.
Foreign Nationals: The bill bans independent expenditures or electioneering communications by corporations where: 20 percent or more of the company is owned by foreign nationals; the majority of the board are foreign nationals; foreign national(s) have the power to control the decision-making process of the corporation with respect to its interests in the U.S.; foreign national(s) have the power to control the decision-making process of the corporation with respect to political activities.
The bill would also require that CEOs (or the other highest ranking official of the corporation) certify, under the penalty of perjury, the company's eligibility for political spending to the Federal Elections Commission. The bill excludes U.S. based corporations with U.S. employees and revenue from political participation, and prohibits those corporations from forming PACs or making PAC contributions.
The bill does not apply the same prohibitions to unions with foreign members, non-citizen members, foreign board representation or other foreign agreements/affiliations.
Coordinated Communication: The bill defines "coordinated communication" as a covered communication which is "made in cooperation, consultation, or concert with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, and authorized committee of a candidate, or a political committee of a political party; or any communication that republishes, disseminates, or distributes, in whole or in part, any broadcast or any written, graphic, or other form of campaign material prepared by a candidate, an authorized committee of a candidate, or their agents."
The bill defines "covered communication" as a public communication that refers to a clearly identified candidate for Federal office and is publicly distributed or publicly disseminated.
The bill sets 120 days prior to the first primary for the office of the President as the applicable election period. The bill expands the period in which coordinated communication is treated as a contribution to start 90 days before all other Federal election primaries and end at general election.
The bill excludes the political party committees from the contribution rule for coordinated spending on public communications unless the communication is "controlled by or under the direction of" the candidate.
As noted by the Committee on House Administration Republican Staff, the new definition of coordination based solely on conduct may conflict with court holdings, or lead to a finding of coordination where a candidate had no control or knowledge of the communication. The expansion of the covered period may also mean issue ads would be subject to coordination limits for an extremely long period (up to a year in some states).
Internet Communications: An amendment authored and accepted by Rep. McCarthy (R-CA) would provide that communications disseminated over the internet would not be treated as a form of general public political advertising subject to the Federal Election Campaign Act, provided that the communication was not laced for a few on another person's Web site.
Express Advocacy: The bill expands the definition of independent expenditure to include express advocacy or its functional equivalent, and would require the filing of independent expenditure reports within 24 hours regardless of when the expenditure is made. The bill sets the threshold amount at $10,000 during the period up to the 20th day before an election, and $1,000 during the period after the 20th day before the date of an election.
Electioneering Communications: The bill expands the definition of electioneering communication from 60 days to 120 days before the general election and would require a report on any and all electioneering communications. The bill also requires that any person who is required to file a statement in electronic form do so in a form accessible by computers, and in a manner that makes it searchable, sortable, and downloadable.
Additional Reporting: The bill would require that an organization report all campaign-related donations over $600 for independent expenditure reports, and $1,000 for electioneering communication reports. The bill requires that all independent expenditures not made from the Campaign Related Activity Account over $600 be reported, and if from the Campaign Related Activity Account, report all donations over $6,000. Similarly, if electioneering communications are not made from the Campaign Related Activity Account, they must report all donations over $1,000; and if made from the Campaign Related Activity Account, they must report all donations over $10,000.
The bill would allow transfers to other entities be deemed for independent expenditure/electioneering communication and reported as such. The bill applies this to corporations, unions, 501(c)(4)s, 501(c)(5)s, 501(c)(6)s & 527s. However, as modified, the bill includes a provision that would allow 501(c)(4)s an exemption if they meet these criteria:
**This provision was originally crafted to exempt specific organizations and has since been manipulated to now exempt even more organizations.
The bill treats amounts transferred between affiliates as attributable to regular dues or assessments from individuals, and requires no reporting on such a transfer.
Donor Intent: The bill would allow donors to avoid reporting donations to the FEC so long as there is a mutual agreement that donations will not be used for campaign related activity. Donors making this agreement must receive a certification from the CFO that their donation will not be used for campaign activity.
The bill would require that the donor and the recipient entity agree at the time a donation or payment is made that it would not be used for campaign activity. However, the bill would not require union members to reach any agreement when dues are deducted from their paychecks. Members may be concerned that these requirements turn the presumption of voluntary compliance on its head and that these provisions would deter speech because of the unnecessary burden.
Campaign Related Activity Accounts: The bill defines a new category of accounts called "Campaign Related Activity Accounts" and circumvents holdings in the Citizens United vs. FEC case that allow general treasury funds to be used for political speech.
Stand by your Ad Requirements: The bill greatly expands current "stand by your ad" requirements by requiring the head of the organization and the organization's largest donor to be named and provide approval statements during the communication; the organization to be named up to three times in each disclaimer; and the five largest donors to be listed on screen (with the two largest stated in radio ads).
While the bill includes language that would seem to require regulations be promulgated to allow for exceptions to be made if the bill's new requirements create a "hardship" by "requiring a disproportional amount of the communication's content to consist" of these requirements, it is unlikely that any regulations would actually invalidate the concerns of many small organizations with even smaller budgets. Additionally, the "hardship" exception is effectively meaningless for 2010 because it does not go into effect until the FEC issues rules. While the bill's requirements take effect immediately, the exception is delayed and would not be made available until much after November of 2010.
Members may be concerned that the disclaimers required by the bill could take an estimated 14 seconds to cite, and when combined, can use up much of the time of a 30 second advertisement. Members may feel that the disclaimer is designed to deter speech rather than provide useful information. Furthermore, the bill does not address how an organization would comply with these onerous regulations if many donors gave the same amount.
Political Robocalls: The bill would require a disclaimer at the beginning of political robocalls identifying who is funding the call.
Lobbyists: The bill would require registered lobbyists and organizations to report spending on independent expenditures and electioneering communications.
Web site Reporting: The bill would require annual reports that list each disbursement for campaign related spending be made available on the company's web site, in machine-readable format, linked directly from the organization's home page.
Judicial Review: The bill would provide for judicial review through the D.C. District Court, D.C. Court of Appeals, and then the Supreme Court. The bill also provides for actions and challenges brought by Members of Congress.
According to the House Committee on Administration Republican staff, this new process for judicial review is in conflict with the review provisions in both Federal Elections Campaign Act and the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, and will likely lead to delays for litigation to determine the correct review procedure. Members may be concerned that this section is intended to make a quick resolution of constitutional challenges impossibly before the 2010 election.
The bill would take effect 30 days after enactment, regardless of FEC rules.
In 2008, Citizens United, a nonprofit corporation, produced a documentary film critical of then-Senator Hillary Clinton. Senator Clinton was, at the time, a candidate for the Democrat party's nomination for president. Citizens United wanted to make the film available to cable subscribers through video on-demand within 30 days of the primary elections. The organization produced television ads, but due to its concern about McCain-Feingold's civil and criminal penalties, Citizens United sought declaratory and injunctive relief, arguing that civil and criminal penalties were unconstitutional as applied to the ads for their documentary.
On January 21, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court held that independent political advocacy (expressly advocating for the defeat or support of a political candidate on the federal level) by corporations and labor unions could not be limited under the First Amendment. The court also overturned the ban on corporations' and labor unions' use of their general treasury funds to make independent expenditures for "electioneering communication." An electioneering communication is any broadcast, cable or satellite communication that fulfills each of the following conditions: (1) the communication refers to a clearly identified candidate for federal office; (2) the communication is publicly distributed shortly before an election for the office that candidate is seeking; and (3) the communication is targeted to the relevant electorate (U.S. House and Senate candidates only). While the court's decision did not overturn the general ban on direct corporate and labor union contributions to political parties or candidates, the Democrats, attempting to suppress one of the nation's foundational rights—the right to free speech, especially political speech, guaranteed by the Constitution—have scheduled consideration of H.R. 5175 to restrict political speech and defy the ruling of the court.
The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5175 would cost $2 million in fiscal year 2011 and about $10 million over the 2011-2015 period, subject to appropriation of the necessary funds. Those amounts would cover additional administrative costs for the FEC to ensure compliance with the bill. Enacting H.R. 5175 could increase revenues and direct spending from the collection of civil and criminal penalties; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures would apply. However, CBO estimates that the net budgetary effect of any additional penalty collections would be negligible for each year.
The manager's amendment is incorporated into the bill through the rule on a self-executing basis. The amendment makes the following notable changes to the underlying bill:
Government Contractors: The bill prohibits independent expenditures and electioneering communications by anyone with a government contract over $10 million (it was $50,000 in the original bill and $7 million in the reported bill).
Carve out for Organizations: An exemption from the bill's reporting requirements is added for organizations that:
**This provision was originally crafted to exempt specific organizations and has since been manipulated to now exempt even more organizations.
Another Union Loophole: If a transfer is made between affiliated entities and the transferred funds are attributable to regularly paid dues, fees, or assessments paid by individuals based on a per-individual calculation, then the transfer amount is attributable to the individuals rather than the organizations and would not be reported – regardless of the aggregate amount – unless an individual's share exceeded $50,000. The definition of affiliated entities includes two entities that are affiliated with the same entity, so the ability to move funds among organizations is quite far-reaching.
Reasonable Beliefs: In order to receive the lesser reporting requirements of a Campaign-Related Activity Account, the amendment would require that organizations spend money from the account "on the basis of a reasonable belief" that the disbursements are for exempt functions per section 527(c)(2) of the tax code. The amendment also treats Campaign Related Activity Accounts as separate segregated funds for purposes of section 527 (f)(3) of the tax code.
SpeechNow Entities: The amendment includes expanded language to deal with the treatment of entities authorized under the SpeechNow decision.
Suppression of Free Speech: Legislative proposals to reduce or limit the political speech of corporations can only result in the suppression of speech by those who choose to advocate through associations, a fundamental right guaranteed by the Constitution. Any proposed "remedy" is certain to infringe upon that right. Writing for the majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy stated, "If the First Amendment has any force, it prohibits Congress from fining or jailing citizens, or associations of citizens, for simply engaging in political speech."
Union Loopholes: Democrats have previously pledged to apply the same restrictions and requirements on unions as they do business corporations. Republicans understand that anything short of equal treatment of unions is an attempt to provide traditional Democrat allies with an unfair advantage.
Furthermore, according to the House Committee on Administration Republican staff, the bill's new thresholds for reporting will likely have little effect on unions (whose average annual dues per employee were only $377 in 2004) but a huge effect on associations and advocacy groups. The bill requires highly complex reporting requirements that would likely come with high compliance costs—disproportionately affecting small organizations.
Violates Principle of Federalism: State corporate law traditionally governs corporate governance issues, producing a diverse set of corporate governance structures that has allowed the U.S. economy to be the most prosperous in the world. Yet, Democrats are determined to essentially federalize corporate governance despite proven success on the state level.
False Claims Regarding Foreign Influence: In his State of the Union address, President Obama stated that the court's decision would "open the floodgates for special interest, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections." However, current federal law and Federal Election Commission regulations already ban foreign corporations from participating directly or indirectly in American elections (see, 2 U.S.C. § 441e and 2 U.S.C. 437g).
Effect on the November 2010 Election: Members may be concerned that it will be impossible for the FEC to pass regulations before the bill takes effect. Organizations would have to risk possible legal action to speak without detailed guidance from the FEC, especially on sections that are ambiguous or require forms or procedures.
1.) Rep. Ackerman (D-NY): The amendment would require covered organizations to report required disclosures to shareholders, members or donors in a "clear and conspicuous manner."
2.) Rep. King (R-IA): The amendment would eliminate all limitations on federal election campaign contributions.
3.) Rep. Kucinich (D-OH): The amendment would prohibit those with leases on the Outer Continental Shelf from political spending.
4.) Rep. Pascrell (D-NJ), Rep. Grayson (D-FL), and Rep. Perriello (D-VA): The amendment would broaden the definition of foreign nationals by prohibiting political expenditures by corporations with significant foreign government ownership and corporations that have a majority of shares owned by foreign nationals.
Rep. Murphy (D-PA): The amendment would enhance advertisement disclaimers to include the city and state of the ad funder's residence or principle office.

From stunning mountain valleys to high forested peaks, from rich coalfields to the birthplace of a river, God's handiwork surrounds you in Tazewell County, Va. In fact, folks say that God even left his thumbprint in this part of Appalachia.
Perhaps the most amazing find is a place locals call "The Garden." Located in the eastern part of the county, this stunning farm-filled valley resembles a large crater about 10 miles long and five miles wide. Burke's Garden is completely sheltered by mountains.
From the air it is easy to see where it gets its nickname as "God's Thumbprint." At about 3,000 feet above sea level, this rural farming community is Virginia's highest valley. The average temperature is just below 50 degrees, making it an area where northern varieties of plants thrive.
In the mid 1700s a man by the name of James Burke stumbled upon this amazing place. Legend has it he buried potato peels here when breaking camp so as not to be discovered by Indians. A year later he returned to find potatoes growing at the campsite, a testament to the rich soil in the valley. Many years later, scouts for George Vanderbilt tried to buy up Burke's Garden as the site for the famed Biltmore Estate which now sits in Asheville, N.C.
You will find only one paved road into Burke's Garden. It squeezes through a narrow gap created by Wolf Creek, the only drainage source for this remote valley. Dozens of simple black-and-white wood signs line up along posts here. Each slat provides a family or farm name as well as the distance to it to help visitors navigate "The Garden."
About a mile down the road is its only store, which recently closed and is now for sale. The old school serves as a community center and gathering place for community events, including a Fall Festival in October.
From here the valley spreads out in all directions, a seemingly endless array of fertile fields, a few homes, barns and silos. Cattle, goats and a few sheep join in calling Burke's Garden home along with camels, llamas and alpacas. This is also black bear country.
A steep and winding gravel road is the only other way in and out of Burke's Garden by car. However, there is a small private airstrip here, and the Appalachian Trail runs along part of the rim surrounding the valley.
Coal was once king in Tazewell County, and it remains a vital part of life here. In the late 1800s engineers were sent in to find coal in a remote area next to the West Virginia state line. The result was the discovery of a 13-foot-high coal seam in what is now the town of Pocahontas.
This was once a boomtown of as many as 5,000 people from all walks of life and from all over the world. Today, the population is about 400, and the town is slowly fading into history, but not without a fight. There are signs of historic preservation scattered among abandoned and crumbling buildings, homes and an aging cemetery that is a history lesson unto itself.
The biggest remnant of the past is the Pocahontas Exhibition Mine. Opened to tourists in 1938, the mine is listed on the National Register of Historic Sites. This is where the region's coal story began and is still told today by guides like Raymond Comer, a miner for 40 years.
As you look down into the mine, layers of fine mist shroud the passageways. No matter what the temperature is outside, it is around 50 degrees in the mine shaft. Walk through the mine to learn about the evolution of mine techniques and safety and to get a better understanding of just how important these coalfields have been to the region and to the country.
Just a few miles in West Virginia is the town of Bramwell. It is difficult to understand the history of one town without knowing the history of the other. In its heyday, this small town on a peninsula in the Bluestone River was home to more millionaires per capita than any other city in the country. Today, the evidence of that wealth is still very much evident as you walk the streets.
The Pocahontas coalfields run through several counties in both Virginia and West Virginia. At the other end of Tazewell County is the town of Richlands, which lies on the Clinch River. In front of the town hall is the Virginia Coal Miners Memorial, a serene place reflecting the many sacrifices miners have made throughout the years to fuel the nation's growth.
Nearby, a large mural covers the side of one of the many historic buildings in the town. This artistic endeavor depicts the history of the town through its ties to coal and the railroads. Nearby communities like Raven, Doran and Jewell Ridge are reminders of the hundreds of coal camps that once dominated the landscape here.
Just a few miles south of Richlands is "The Cove." This wide valley was the backdrop for the 1994 motion picture "Lassie." It is a quiet and peaceful farming community where you will find the community of Maiden Spring, a place where a river flows out of the mouth of a cave.
In the same valley lies the county seat of Tazewell. Main Street is lined with many buildings dating back more than 100 years. It was also the site of a small street car line that ran from the train depot and is still home to the Tazewell County Courthouse.
A walk through the historic district today offers examples of many different types of architecture, including a brownstone that once housed a bank. Tazewell is also home to former Virginia Gov. George Peery, who led the state during the Great Depression. A small red brick building that once housed his law offices still stands.
Two forks of the Clinch River come together a few miles from downtown, a subtle start to a river that eventually makes its way to the Tennessee. State Route 16, a.k.a. "The Back of the Dragon," also runs through town. The two-lane stretch between Tazewell and Marion, VA crosses three mountains and has become a haven for motorcycle riders and people who love a truly scenic drive.
Last but not least is the town of Bluefield. Because of its elevation, the town has earned the nickname of Virginia's "tallest" town. Originally known as Graham, the city was renamed in the 1920s in a sort of "marriage" to the city it borders in West Virginia. Today, the downtown is filled with several shops, an old fashioned soda fountain, and a farmer's market.
Tazewell County is a place where big dreams helped forge a nation's history. It is also a place where big valleys and big mountains quench one's thirst for both adventure and solitude. Best of all, Tazewell County is just a few hours away and waiting for you to visit.

What's the camera like? how do the images produce stack up against other 8MP offerings?
The new Motorola Razr smartphone.
Motorola has resurrected its iconic RAZR brand in a bid to resurrect some of its former glory. The result is the all-new Motorola RAZR: an Android smartphone that claims to be the thinnest in the world at just 7.1mm thick. We've just got our grubby mitts all over the RAZR, so how does it stack up?
• Motorola RAZR preview
• New Motorola RAZR exclusive to Optus, coming soon
First things first, the name. Motorola is clearly betting on the RAZR brand in a bid to boost sales. The RAZR, originally a flip phone, sold over 130 million units worldwide in a five year period from 2004-2008, but lost its sharpness as the world moved to smartphones. Though we believe Motorola hung onto the RAZR name for way too long when smartphones started to become popular, we think bringing back the RAZR name is a good decision. It's a brand many consumers can identify with and it is likely to be a positive move for Motorola's marketing department, too.
Any phone called the RAZR has to be thin and the new Motorola RAZR is just that. It's just 7.1mm thick at its thinnest point — over 2mm thinner than the iPhone 4S and thin enough to claim the title of the thinnest smartphone in the world. To be fair, the RAZR isn't 7.1mm thin all the way along: at the top of the phone is a bump that sticks out at the back and houses the camera lens, LED flash and speaker. This actually makes the RAZR a little top heavy, so it often feels a awkward to hold.
The Motorola RAZR is a very large phone. It's slightly longer and slightly wider than the Samsung Galaxy S II despite sharing the same sized screen — we think users with small hands may find its size a little too big. There's a fair bit of wasted space surrounding the screen as the bezel is pretty wide. The RAZR has slightly curved edges but the phone has a squarish, industrial looking design: we found the Galaxy S II's rounded edges a little more comfortable to hold than the RAZR.
The RAZR may be a little large but its fit and finish is amongst the best we've seen on any smartphone to date. Motorola says the phone combines a diamond cut aluminium frame and a case that's made from Kevlar fibre. The Kevlar backing is soft to touch and really gives the RAZR a distinct look and feel. As a comparison, we much prefer it to the etched plastic backing of the Galaxy S II, which does feel a little cheap. A downside to the RAZR's thinness is that it has a non-removable battery.
Aiding the Motorola RAZR's design is a Gorilla glass display and a splash-guard coating that makes the phone water-repellent. Motorola says both the phone itself and many of its internal components have been coated with the splash-guard material, so it is expected to hold up well to the elements. Unfortunately, our review unit has not been coated in the splash-guard treatment, so we can't test it. We did however see it in action at Motorola's media launch and can confirm it works and is genuinely impressive. The water beads then slides off the surface of the RAZR very easily. It looks very similar to water beads rolling off a car when its just been polished and waxed. Keep in mind the coating makes the phone water-repellent, not completely water-proof, so don't expect to take the RAZR swimming with you.
The Motorola RAZR has a 4.3in Super AMOLED display with a qHD resolution of 540x960. The screen is excellent: it's just as bright and vibrant as the Galaxy S II, but its higher resolution makes text crisper and details finer. The screen is responsive to touch and has good outdoor visibility.
We haven't had enough time to play with the RAZR to give a definitive view on its software and performance, but a few things stand out as soon as you start using the phone. First of all, Motorola's Motoblur service is no longer mandatory. That means when you first turn on the RAZR, you aren't forced to create a Motorola account (this time called a MotoCast account) to use the phone. Motorola has also scaled down the amount of customisation it has made to the standard Android interface. It still uses many of its own icons and widgets, but most of them look attractive and don't clutter the interface.
The Motorola RAZR is also a fast smartphone: we haven't had any issues with performance, apps load almost instantly, nothing has crashed and everything seems to run silky smooth.
We'll publish a full, detailed review of the Motorola RAZR next week, but in the meantime if you have any burning questions about the RAZR ask us in the comments below!
What's the camera like? how do the images produce stack up against other 8MP offerings?
Is it a pentile display?
Can the battery be removed?
Drop test? wireless charging?
Will the operating system be upgraded to the the 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich" system?
Battery Life on standby and when in use?
@geert: The camera is good, probably on par with the Galaxy S II. It's a step below the iPhone 4S though, iPhone images have less noise and better colour.
@Ace: Yes, it's a pentile display. No, the battery can't be removed.
@Ron: No wireless charging as far as I'm aware. We haven't done a drop test yet but I can tell you build quality is excellent.
@Charles: Yes, Motorola has already confirmed the RAZR will be upgraded to ICS, most likely early in 2012.
@George: Battery life is quoted at 304 hours standby and around 9 hours talk time. Its enough to last a full day, but not much longer.
How will the phone keep 'power'ed-off' if we cannot remove the battery? With the Droid X, phone restart's itself after 'power'ing off', only thing keeping it off is a battery removal. Check out the motorola blogs regarding this issue.
do we have to keep computer turned on to use moto cast?
Can you please tell me when will be the phone available in Indian Market ?? Do you think it will be available in FIRST week of december at least. Do you have any idea about availability of Defy plus. It's been nearly 2 months since it's announced, I am eagerly waiting for it, but no updates anywhere. Lastly, does your site offers any help regarding which is the best phone to buy etc. If yes, please lemme know.
Non non removable
A non removable battery is a deal breaker for me, how could they not make a removable battery, ? Thats one of the biggest complaints that batteries done lady long enough, so we replace then with higher mah batteries. And what happens when the battery just stops holding a good charge? Send it in to motorola to have it replaced? Yeah right. Stupid move motorola......
Hope your are for lots of time wasting. I've been trying to activate the phone for 3 days and counting. Every time we call the phone carrier they give us a different reason why the phone can't be activated. One of the reasons we were told you can't even activate the phone is because our area does not have 4G coverage and you can use the 3G coverage but it has to be activated under 4G coverage. That is just plain retarded.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

$55-Million is the proposed settlement in a law suit involving corrosive Chinese drywall. WGNO's Vanessa Bolano has the details.New Orleans Federal Judge Eldon Fallon has his hands full with the multi district toxic Chinese drywall lawsuit. According to the Chinese Drywall Complaint Center instead of 10,000's of homes infected with it,100,000's are, and the case is unfolding in New Orleans Federal Court.
- Chinese Drywall Settlement Awards Homeowners Hundreds of Millions
- Chinese Drywall Distributor Reaches $8M Settlement
- Senator Julie Quinn Will Not Seek Re-Election This Fall
- $55-Million Dollar Settlement Announced For Homeowners Dealing With Tainted Chinese Drywall
- Justice System

This morning a $55-Million settlement was announced between Banner Supply and plaintiffs. Nearly a year ago the supplier was found liable for knowingly selling defective drywall. Although most of their clients were in Florida. The case means big things for Louisiana homeowners dealing with this mess.
"This is the largest settlement case to date, but it will not be the largest settlement by the time we're done," says Gonzalez.
Attorney Russ Herman says, "This is the third settlement being announced, so it means a great deal. It means we're making progress. We're not at the top of the ladder yet, but we're going to get there."
It's progress Penny Alexander hopes to see soon. She moved out of her home over a year ago, but the corrosive Chinese drywall is still in there, and what's worse is she's paying her mortgage every month, but can't even enjoy her home.
Back in October of 2010 Alexander told WGNO News, "I've lost so much; the refrigerator, the air conditioner, three televisions, ceiling fans. I've lost a lot."
"These are people that own their homes, many of them veterans, mostly middle class folks who have worked hard all of their lives and now see that their home, their castles, are being destroyed and they're completely innocent," says Herman.
Attorneys say three other settlements are currently in the works. Litigation on the tainted Chinese drywall began two years ago.
The $55-Million settlement is still pending court approval.
