to the community from Luren E. Dickinson:
Shaker Library is pleased to be an active participant on the
South Shaker Neighborhood Council, a group formed two years ago to take part in
the Cleveland Foundation youth development initiative. Last month, we learned
that the SSNC's grant application for $103,000 to
support local efforts for youth during the 2009-2010 school year
was approved.
The Cleveland Foundation initiative is now called MyCom, which stands for My Commitment/My Community. Last year,
South Shaker Neighborhood Council was one of two non-Cleveland neighborhoods
that received MyCom planning dollars to develop a
network of out-of-school-time activities for youth. With these new funds, our
plans can become a reality.
The library's portion of the grant will provide $10,000 for
our Homework Center, which began with a $1,700 gift in November 2003, from the
Shaker Heights High School Class of 1973. Friends of the Shaker Library
supported the Homework Center with a $4,000 gift in 2007 and an $8,000 gift in
2008. These funds have allowed us to hire a well-qualified individual to
supervise the center and to pay teachers to serve as tutors. Funds also enabled
us to purchase three laptop computers for the children to use.
The Homework Center is located on the second floor of the
Main Library and is open to students in grades 2 through 6 from 4:00 to 6:30
p.m. Mondays and Wednesdays. It offers a place where students can complete
their assignments in quiet surroundings with help from tutors. During the
2008-2009, school year, 48 students attended an average of six or more
sessions. This was a 45% increase over the previous school year. If current
statistics are an indication, we should see another increase in 2009-10.
The MyCom grant has had a ripple
effect on youth programs at the Shaker Library.
Some programs will be hosted at the Library and some programs will be
partnerships. The Library and the Shaker Heights Youth Center will collaborate
on "Teen Yoga," a series of classes for youth ages 12 – 18. Other groups in Shaker, including the Shaker
Heights Chamber of Commerce, Change Builders, Peace in the Hood, and Open Doors
will hold workforce training for youth, college prep sessions for teens and
parents, enrichment and life skills programs, and prevention/wellness in the
Library efforts in the area of
academic improvement continues this month when the Princeton
Review comes to the Main Library to offer a two-part ACT Workshop for students
in grades 10-12. A full-length ACT Practice Test will be offered from 9:15 to
2:00 p.m. Saturday, November 14 followed by an ACT Score-Booster Strategy
Session from 9:15 to 11 a.m. Saturday, November 21. The free workshop is
limited to 50 teens and registration begins November 2.
For the other end of our educational spectrum, Shaker
Library will host its
Seventh Annual Preschool Fair on Thursday evening, November 5 at
the Main Library. Representatives from area early childhood programs will be on
hand to answer questions and to help parents and caregivers explore preschool
options for their children. For school-age children, we continue our popular
American Girl Doll series with a program on American Girl Doll Addy set for November 14 at Woods Branch.
In 2009, the
Library received two prestigious designations: one as a five-star library by
the 2009 Library Journal Index; the other as a Top Ten Library by the Hennen American Public
Library Rankings 2009 Index, which placed the library among the top 100 public
libraries in the nation. To continue this tradition of excellence, we need your
support. Join our Check-Out Challenge
by borrowing our books, movies or music and help the Library surpass last
year's circulation. Help us keep our
five-star rating!

After being accustomed to the wide keys on the roomy keyboards of a desktop, the compact keyboards and little keys on a notebook tend to feel rather cramped, and some notebooks have especially inconvenient keyboard features like condensed or unconventionally placed Enter, Shift or arrow keys, which is a further nuisance while typing.
Keyboard size isn't the only element of consideration and the shape and size of the key is just as important since wobbly keys are a hindrance to typing accuracy. The best notebook with a full sized keyboard has either flat, individual keys or Classic tapered ones which have a concave surface for the fingertips, to allow hassle free typing.

Filed under: Digestive Health
Pyloric stenosis is an uncommon condition affecting the opening (pylorus) between the stomach and small intestine in infants. The pylorus is a muscular valve that holds food in the stomach until it is ready for the next stage in the digestive process.
In pyloric stenosis, the pylorus muscles thicken, blocking food from entering the baby's small intestine. Pyloric stenosis can lead to forceful vomiting, dehydration and weight loss. Babies with this condition may seem to always be hungry.
Pyloric stenosis can be fixed with surgery.

Lake J seeks state help for dam, sediment
Written by Bibeka Shrestha- Ski Junaluska Weekends pair Christian fellowship with downhill fun
- Slow day at Lake J
- Lake Junaluska merger proponents preparing for round two
- No bailout for Lake Junaluska
- Lake Junaluska navigates choppy political waters
- Lake Junaluska merger bill off the table indefinitely
- Rags to riches: Unlocking the value of antiques rarely results in a jackpot
- With merger in limbo, Waynesville budget sent back to the drawing board
Lake Junaluska Assembly is asking Haywood County commissioners to help it land state grants for maintenance on the lake and dam.
The Assembly faces two major issues: repairs to the aging dam and sediment removal from the lake. An engineering study is needed for the spillways and gate controls in preparation for improvements to the dam.
Meanwhile, removing silt from the lake has become a regular maintenance chore every three to four years.
Lake Junaluska hopes to get $30,000 or 50 percent of the cost for the engineering from the state. The lake is seeking either $440,000 or 66.6 percent of the cost for the sediment removal project. In both cases the state would provide whichever is less.
The Assembly will pay for the rest from its own funds, according to Jimmy Carr, director of Lake Junaluska Assembly.
The Haywood County Board of Commissioners plans to vote on an endorsement of the application at its next meeting on Sept. 21, after wording on the proposal has been changed to ensure financial and legal responsibility for the projects rests solely with the Assembly. Once approved, Haywood County would request the state funds on the Assembly's behalf.
The Assembly has already spent $3.3 million on renovating the dam over the past six years. While Carr says the dam is "very safe" and no critical improvements are needed, work on the dam is not over.
According to the Assembly, the spillway is not in as good a shape as hoped, but that there is no cause for alarm. The study would be part of a general effort to maintain the dam.
The goal of the proposed dam study is to have engineers determine the extent of problems with the spillway, so the Assembly can make financial and structural plans to fix them.
At the moment, the more costly project deals with sediment removal, with much of the expense going toward creating a disposal site on top of Sleepy Hollow Road on property the Assembly already owns.
While the cost of building such a site is "a big unknown," the proposed disposal site could be used for decades to come, said Buddy Young, director of residential services, at Tuesday's commissioners meeting.
Since 2001, the Assembly has done extensive sediment removal from Lake Junaluska.
"In one year, we removed 5,500 loads of silt from the lake," said Carr. If it isn't removed, it could fill the lake up over time, Carr said.
As development has increased on mountain slopes in recent years, so has erosion. Sediment washing off construction sites and into creeks is ultimately deposited in Lake Junaluska downstream.
According to Carr, there has been a lot of community support, both from Haywood Waterways Association and county officials, to enforce erosion policies.

Quint Kessenich: What to look for at the NB Zip MLL Championships
Quint Kessenich - 8/14/2008
The Philadelphia Barrage have pulled off the feat three times in the previous four seasons. But will the endless trek (18,000 miles and counting) they've been on this spring wear thin at the worst possible moment? Will Rochester finally break through on a championship weekend? Or will a western team etch its name in the record books as an MLL champion?
Those questions loom a week before things kick off, so we've asked IL Analyst Quint Kessenich to break down what you should be looking for next weekend as part of our NB Zip Championship Coverage.
Fine tuning on Friday
Friday practice sessions at Harvard are critical for the installation of semifinal game-plans. Are players missing? Late? Or stuck in the airport?
The most significant tweeks to the game-plan occur on the defensive end and in the specialty situations. Wholesale changes won't work, they're too radical and complex. It's a fine line that the four coaches (Brian Reese, John Tucker, BJ O'Hara and Tony Resch) must walk. It's important for MLL coaches to explain defensive match-ups and determine who and when they are sliding. We'll see some of our best defense of the summer in Saturday's Semifinals.
Regular season results meaningless
Don't be fooled by regular season success or failure. History has shown that prior meetings don't matter. Toss them in the trash. As my ESPN announcer friend Dave Armstrong has always said, "It's not what's in the rear view mirror; it's all about looking through the windshield at the road ahead."
Quick turnaround gives game #1 winner a slight advantage
Semifinal #1 finishes at 2.30 p.m. on Saturday. Winning players have a three hour head-start in their attempt to refuel, rest and scout the game #2 winner. It may not seem like much but with less than 24 hours until Sunday's MLL final - it's a big boost.
60-Second Shot Clock
Playoff tempo is more deliberate - it's ideal as far as I'm concerned...faster than the college game but not out-of-control and overwhelming. Offenses will grind further into the shot clock working for the best available shot. The ball has value. Semifinal scores are typically in the 23-29 total goal range, which is ideal for fans.
Injuries are always a strong storyline on Sunday because of the quick turnaround between semifinals and finals. Ankle injuries to Dan Denihan and Mark Millon limited their production and changed the complexion of past finals. Denver's Jeff Sonke was less than 100% in the 2006 final. How do teams react and adapt to injuries?
Hot Goalies
Rochester will rely on a two-goalie system with Mike Levin getting the starting nod and Brett Queener playing the second half. It has worked well in late July and August. Queener's out-of-goal antics are more successful when field players are gassed in the late stages of a game.
Philadelphia's Brian Dougherty has a career .590 save percentage in the postseason with a 12.42 goals against average. He is 6-1 all-time in the playoffs. Denver's Jesse Schwartzman went 10-1 in NCAA playoffs games while at Johns Hopkins.
Colsey and Streibel are Clutch Performers
Philadelphia's Matt Striebel has 16 goals and 10 assists in six career MLL playoff games. Line-mate Roy Colsey has 22 goals (3 two-point goals) with five assists in six career playoff games. They are a big reason why Philadelphia's won back-to-back titles.
Grant Jr. a Lock for MVP
Just an opinion...Rochester's John Grant Jr. will receive the MLL's MVP award for the second consecutive year. But Grant's Jr.'s 91 goals over the past two seasons are not the most in a two-year span. LA's Jesse Hubbard recorded back-to-back 50-goal seasons with New Jersey, which are the only times that a player has scored 50 goals in a season. Hubbard had 104 goals during that span and looked like his old self last week against San Francisco.
It's About the Ring
Hard to believe but this will be the eighth MLL Championship. Brian Spallina is the only MLL player to win four MLL championships. Other members of the Barrage have won three titles including: Brian Dougherty, Ryan Boyle, Michael Springer, Colsey, Striebel and Brian Kuczma.
Quint will be in Boston covering the MLL Championship for ESPN. He welcomes your emails, questions, predictions and opinions at email@example.com

Rock Revival Lavinia Ankle Skinny Stretch Jean 1 1
Beautiful Jean! Sooo I was in love with these the moment I saw them - almost didn't try them on I liked them so much.To start, I'm happy to see that RR finally made their ankle skinnies a little shorter - I have another ankle skinny style and I could nearly wear them as a full length jean. These hit right above my ankle when cuffed. The length is awkward uncuffed.Fair warning, these are tight in the waist. I did stay true to size because they're SO stretchy through the thigh and calf, but I almost couldn't button them.... However, after wearing a couple times they're very comfortable and the waist doesn't feel NEARLY as snug. I think these are just a great fall jean. The stitching color is on point, and the "bling" is just enough. July 30, 2013

2012 Presidential Campaign |
James Richard "Rick" Perry (born March 4, 1950) is an American politician who is the 47th and current Governor of Texas. A Republican, he was elected Lieutenant Governor of Texas in 1998 and assumed the governorship in December 2000 when then-governor George W. Bush resigned to become President of the United States. Perry was elected to full gubernatorial terms in 2002, 2006 and 2010 and is the fourth Texas governor (after Allan Shivers, Price Daniel and John Connally) to serve three terms. With a tenure in office to date of 13 years, 81 days, Perry is the second longest serving current U.S. governor – after Terry Branstad of Iowa. Perry served as Chairman of the Republican Governors Association in 2008 (succeeding Sonny Perdue of Georgia) and again in 2011.2 Perry is the longest serving governor in Texas state history. As a result, he is the only governor in modern Texas history to have appointed at least one person to every eligible state office, board, or commission position (as well as to several elected offices to which the governor can appoint someone to fill an unexpired term, such as six of the nine current members of the Texas Supreme Court).
Perry won the Texas 2010 Republican gubernatorial primary election, defeating U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and former Wharton County Republican Party Chairwoman and businesswoman Debra Medina.3 In the 2010 Texas gubernatorial election, Perry won a third term by defeating former Houston mayor Bill White and Kathie Glass.4
On August 13, 2011, Perry announced in South Carolina that he was running for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2012 presidential election. Perry suspended his campaign in January 2012 and eventually endorsed Republican nominee Mitt Romney.
On July 8, 2013, Perry announced that he would not seek re-election to his fourth term in the 2014 election, planning to retire instead.5 Unnamed sources said to be close to Perry told the National Review that Perry may focus on another White House bid for 2016.6
Early life, education, and military service
A fifth-generation Texan, Perry was born in Paint Creek, about 60 miles (97 km) north of Abilene in West Texas, to ranchers Joseph Ray Perry and the former Amelia June Holt. Perry's ancestry is almost entirely English, dating as far back as the original thirteen colonies. His family has been in Texas since before the Texan Revolution.789
His father, a Democrat, was a long-time Haskell County commissioner and school board member. Perry has said that his interest in politics probably began in November 1961, when his father took him to the funeral of U.S. Representative Sam Rayburn (D-TX),10 who during his long public career served as speaker of the Texas House for a short time at the age of 29 and then later for 17 years as the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Perry was in the Boy Scouts (BSA) and earned the rank of eagle scout; his son, Griffin, later became an Eagle Scout as well.1112 The BSA has honored Perry with the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award.13
Perry graduated from Paint Creek High School in 1968. He then attended Texas A&M University, where he was a member of the Corps of Cadets, a member of the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity, was elected senior class social secretary, and was also elected as one of A&M's five yell leaders.1415 Perry graduated in 1972 with a Bachelor of Science in animal science.1617
Perry said that the Corps of Cadets gave him the discipline to complete his animal sciences degree and earn a commission in the air force. In a 1989 interview he said that "I was probably a bit of a free spirit, not particularly structured real well for life outside of a military regime, I would have not lasted at Texas Tech or the University of Texas. I would have hit the fraternity scene and lasted about one semester."16 Perry was a prankster in college: he once placed live chickens in the closet of an upperclassman during Christmas break and used M-80 firecrackers to prank students using the toilet.16
In the early 1970s, Perry interned during several summers with the Southwestern Company, as a door-to-door book salesman. "I count my time working for Dortch Oldham [president of the Southwestern Company] as one of the most important formative experiences of my life," Perry said in 2010. "There is nothing that tests your commitment to a goal like getting a few doors closed in your face." He said that "Mr. Oldham taught legions of young people to communicate quickly, clearly and with passion, a lesson that has served me well in my life since then."18
Upon graduation in 1972, Perry was commissioned in the United States Air Force and completed pilot training in February 1974. He was then assigned as a C-130 pilot to the 772nd Tactical Airlift Squadron at Dyess Air Force Base. Perry's duties included two-month overseas rotations at RAF Mildenhall in England and Rhein-Main Air Base in Germany. His missions included a 1974 U.S. State Department drought relief effort in Mali, Mauritania and Chad, and two years later, earthquake relief in Guatemala.19 He left the U.S. Air Force in 1977 with the rank of captain, returned to Texas, and went into business farming cotton with his father.20
Early political career
Texas Legislature
In 1984, Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives as a Democrat from district 64, which included his home county of Haskell. He served on the House Appropriations and Calendars committees during his three two-year terms in office. He befriended fellow freshman state representative Lena Guerrero of Austin, a staunch liberal Democrat who endorsed Perry's reelection bid in 2006 on personal, rather than philosophical, grounds.
Perry was part of the "Pit Bulls", a group of Appropriations members who sat on the lower dais in the committee room (or "pit") who pushed for austere state budgets during the 1980s.21 At one point, The Dallas Morning News named him one of the ten most effective members of the legislature.22
In 1987, Perry voted for a $5.7 billion tax increase proposed by Republican governor Bill Clements.23 Perry supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries and worked in an unspecified capacity for Gore's campaign in Texas.24 On September 29, 1989, Perry announced that he was switching parties, becoming a Republican.25
Agriculture Commissioner
In 1990, as a newly minted Republican, Perry challenged Jim Hightower, the incumbent Democratic Agriculture Commissioner. Hightower had worked on behalf of Jesse Jackson for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1988, while Perry had supported U.S. Senator Al Gore of Tennessee.
During 1990, Hightower's office was embroiled in a FBI investigation into corruption and bribery. Three aides were convicted in 1993 of using public funds for political fundraising, although Hightower himself was not found to be involved in the wrongdoings.26 Perry narrowly defeated Hightower in November 1990.
As Agriculture Commissioner, Perry was responsible for promoting the sale of Texas farm produce to other states and foreign nations, and for supervising the calibration of weights and measures, such as gasoline pumps and grocery store scales.27
In April 1993, Perry, while serving as Texas agriculture commissioner, expressed support for the effort to reform the nation's health care, describing it as "most commendable".28 The health care plan, first revealed in September, was ultimately unsuccessful due to Republican congressional opposition.2930313233 In 2005, after being questioned on the issue by a potential opponent in the Republican governor primary, Perry said that he expressed his support only in order to get Clinton to pay more attention to rural health care.34
In 1994, Perry was reelected Agriculture Commissioner by a large margin, getting 2,546,287 votes (62 percent) to Democrat Marvin Gregory's 1,479,692 (36 percent). Libertarian Clyde L. Garland received the remaining 85,836 votes (2 percent).35 Gregory, a chicken farmer from Sulphur Springs, Texas, was on the Texas Agricultural Finance Authority with Perry in the early nineties, as a Republican. He became a Democrat before running against Perry in 1994.36
Lieutenant Governor
In 1998, Perry chose not to seek a third term as Agriculture Commissioner, running instead for Lieutenant Governor to succeed the retiring Democrat Bob Bullock. During this election, Rick Perry had a notable falling out with his previous top political strategist Karl Rove, which began the much-reported rivalry between the Bush and Perry camps.37 Perry polled 1,858,837 votes (50.04 percent) to the 1,790,106 (48.19 percent) cast for Democrat John Sharp of Victoria, who had relinquished the Comptroller's position after two terms to seek the lieutenant governorship. Libertarian Anthony Garcia polled another 65,150 votes (1.75 percent).35 Perry thus became the state's first Republican lieutenant governor since Reconstruction, taking office on January 19, 1999.
Governor of Texas
Perry assumed the office of governor on December 21, 2000, following the resignation of George W. Bush – who was preparing to become President of the United States.11 He won the office in his own right in the 2002 gubernatorial election, where he received 57.80% of votes to Laredo oilman and businessman Tony Sanchez's 39.96%.35 He was re-elected in the 2006 gubernatorial election against three major opponents, polling 39% of votes against runner-up former U.S. Congressman Chris Bell of Houston with 29.8%. In the 2010 gubernatorial election, Perry became the first Texas governor to be elected to three four-year terms, polling 54.97% of votes to former Houston Mayor Bill White's 42.48%.
In his three gubernatorial campaigns, Perry received hard-money campaign contributions of $102 million, half of which came from 204 donors.38
In the 2001 legislative session, Perry set a record for his use of the veto, rejecting 82 acts, more than any other governor in any single legislative session in the history of the state since Reconstruction.39 4041
Fiscal policies
In his presidential campaign, Perry has highlighted the economic success Texas achieved under his governorship, although the true success of his policies has been questioned.424344454647 A proclaimed proponent of fiscal conservatism, Perry has often campaigned on job growth and tax issues, such as his opposition to creating a state income tax. Perry refused in 2002 to promise not to raise taxes as governor, and in the following years did propose or approve various tax and debt48 increases.49505152 In 2009, Perry signed Grover Norquist's pledge to "oppose and veto any and all efforts to increase taxes".
Texas began borrowing money in 2003 to pay for roads and will owe $17.3 billion by the end of 2012, increasing total state debt, from $13.4 billion in 2001 to $37.8 billion in 2011.53 The state's public finance authority sold $2 billion in bonds for unemployment benefits, and it's authorized to sell $1.5 billion more if necessary. Texas federal borrowing topped $1.6 billion in October 2010, before the bond sales.54 Texans voted November 8, 2011 for a Water Works Bill with an additional $6 billion of debt and against new tax breaks for landowners.55 A Republican on the Natural Resources Committee laments "we couldn't get the votes" which would break Perry's pledge not to raise taxes.56
In 2003, Perry signed legislation that created the Texas Enterprise Fund, which has since given $435 million in grants to businesses. The New York Times reported that many of the companies receiving grants, or their chief executives, have made contributions to Perry's campaigns or to the Republican Governors Association.57 Perry has been criticized for supporting corporate tax breaks and other incentives, while the state government was experiencing budget deficits.5859
As Governor, Perry has been an outspoken opponent of federal health-care reform proposals and of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, describing the latter as "socialism on American soil".60 Perry's focus in Texas has been on tort reform, signing a bill in 2003 which restricted non-economic damages in medical malpractice judgments.61 Perry touted this approach in his Presidential campaign, although independent analysts have concluded that it has failed to increase the supply of physicians or limit health-care costs in Texas.6062
During Perry's governorship, Texas rose from second to first among states with the highest proportion of uninsured residents at 26%, and had the lowest level of access to prenatal care in the U.S.60 Perry and the state legislature have cut Medicaid spending.6063 The Los Angeles Times wrote that under Perry, "working Texans increasingly have been priced out of private healthcare while the state's safety net has withered."63
Perry's office has said that Texas represents a model private-sector approach to health-care. His spokeswoman stated that "Texas does provide an adequate safety net to those truly in need... and many individuals simply choose not to purchase healthcare coverage."63
Perry is pro-life and has signed bills with rules or restrictions for abortion procedures and funding for them.6465 In December 2011, Perry said he had undergone a "transformation" and now opposed all abortions, including in cases of rape and incest. The next day he clarified that he would allow an exception for abortions that would save a mother's life.6667
In February 2007, Perry issued an executive order mandating that Texas girls receive the HPV vaccine, which protects against some strains of the human papilloma virus, a contributing factor to some forms of cervical cancer.68 Following the move, news outlets reported various apparent financial connections between Perry and the vaccine's manufacturer, Merck.6869 Merck's political action committee has contributed $28,500 since 2001 to Perry's campaigns.70 The order was criticized by some parents and social conservatives, and a lawsuit was filed later that month.71 In May 2007, the Texas Legislature passed a bill undoing the order; Perry did not veto the bill, saying the veto would have been overruled, but blamed lawmakers who supported the bill for the deaths of future cancer victims.72
In 2011, Governor Perry both had adult stem cell surgery, in Houston by Dr. Jones, and started "laying the groundwork" for the commercialization of the adult stem cell industry in Texas.7374
Perry grew up in the United Methodist Church, and he and his family have been members of Tarrytown United Methodist Church since the 1990s (the same church that former President George W. Bush attended in Austin, Texas) until 2010 when Perry and his family began attending the large, nondenominational evangelical megachurch, Lake Hills Church that is also located in Austin.1 The Statesman reported that the Lake Hills offers a completely different service performance than what Perry experienced within the United Methodist Church services: "They dunk," Perry said. "Methodists sprinkle." In 2006, Perry stated that he believes in the inerrancy of the Bible and that those who do not accept Jesus as their savior will go to hell. He later clarified, "I don't know that there's any human being that has the ability to interpret what God and his final decision-making is going to be."75 In his 2008 book On My Honor, Perry expressed his views on the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. "Let's be clear: I don't believe government, which taxes people regardless of their faith, should espouse a specific faith. I also don't think we should allow a small minority of atheists to sanitize our civil dialogue on religious references."76 In June 2011, Perry proclaimed August 6 as a Day of Prayer and Fasting, inviting other governors to join him in a prayer meeting hosted by the American Family Association in Houston.7778 The event was criticized as going beyond prayer and fasting to include launching Perry's presidential campaign.79
Perry has called himself "a firm believer in intelligent design as a matter of faith and intellect", and has expressed support for its teaching alongside evolution in Texas schools, but has also said that "educators and local school officials, not the governor, should determine science curriculum."80
Perry has repeatedly attacked the Robin Hood plan to provide court-mandated equitable school financing for all school districts in the state. In 2005, following rejection of Perry's proposal to replace the Robin Hood plan, Perry vetoed all funding for public schools for the 2007–2008 biennium, saying he would not "approve an education budget that shortchanges teacher salary increases, textbooks, education technology, and education reforms. And I cannot let $2 billion sit in some bank account when it can go directly to the classroom."81 Following a second rejection of Perry's bill, Perry asked John Sharp to head a task force charged with preparing a bipartisan education plan, which was subsequently adopted.8283
In 2001, Perry expressed his pride in the enactment of the statute extending in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants who meet Texas' residency requirements. It also required the undocumented students to pledge to apply for permanent residency or citizenship if this became a possibility for them.84
In 2002, Perry described the Texas same-sex anti-sodomy law as "appropriate".85 The United States Supreme Court's civil rights decision in Lawrence v. Texas (2003) struck down the statute Perry referred to the following year for violating the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Perry supported the 2005 ballot proposition which amended the Texas constitution by defining marriage as "only a union between a man and a woman" and prohibiting the state from creating or recognizing "any legal status identical or similar to marriage".86 In 2011, after New York legalized same-sex marriage, Perry stated that it was their right to do so under the principle of states' rights delineated in the Tenth Amendment.87 A spokesman later reiterated Perry's support for a federal constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, saying that position was not inconsistent since an amendment would require approval by three-fourths of the states.88
In his first book, On My Honor, published in 2008, Perry drew a parallel between homosexuality and alcoholism, writing that he is "no expert on the 'nature versus nurture' debate", but that gays should simply choose abstinence.89 During the 2012 presidential campaign, he criticized the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell".90 He said that using foreign aid as a policy tool against foreign countries which do not give full rights to homosexuals was "not in America's interests".91
Eagle Scout Perry has called on the Boy Scouts to continue their ban on homosexuality and blamed America for not living up to the ideals of the scouts.92
Perry's campaigns for lieutenant governor and governor focused on a tough stance on crime. He has supported block grants for crime programs.93
Jeff L. Blackburn, chief counsel of the Innocence Project of Texas, said of Perry that "He has done more good than any other governor we've ever had ... unless, of course, it involves the death penalty. On the death penalty, Rick Perry has a profound mental block."94
In 2007, Perry signed a law ending automatic arrest for marijuana possession.95
Death penalty
Perry supports the death penalty.96 In June 2002, he vetoed a ban on the execution of mentally retarded inmates.93 As of December 31, 2013, Gov. Perry has presided over 268 executions97-more than any governor in U.S. History. 98
Cases in which Perry has been criticized for his lack of intervention include those of Cameron Todd Willingham, Frances Newton, and Mexican nationals José Medellín and Humberto Leal Garcia.99100101102
Perry commuted the death sentence of Kenneth Foster, who was convicted of murder despite evidence that he was only present at the scene of the crime.103 Perry also pardoned Tyrone Brown, who was sentenced to life in a Texas maximum security prison for smoking marijuana while on probation.104 Perry's actions in both these cases were following the recommendation of the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles,103104 without whose recommendation the Governor of Texas cannot issue pardons.105106
In 2001, Perry proposed the Trans-Texas Corridor, a $145+ billion-dollar project that would build multi-lane highways, rail lines and data lines from Oklahoma to Mexico, and from east to west in southern Texas. Instead of paying for the project with taxes, Perry proposed that it be partially financed, partially built and wholly operated by private contractors, who would subsequently receive all toll proceeds.107 All of Perry's gubernatorial opponents opposed the corridor project, as did the 2006 state party platforms of both the Democratic and Republican parties.108109 After much contentious debate between supporters and opponents, an official decision of "no action" was issued by the Federal Highway Administration on July 20, 2010, formally ending the project.
Gun ownership
Perry has an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association.110 He possesses a Concealed Handgun License (CHL)111 and has signed a number of bills that increased CHL access.112
2012 presidential campaign
Until 2011, Perry persistently denied aspirations to higher office; he was originally included on the 2012 Presidential Straw Poll ballot at the Values Voter Summit in September 2009, but his name was removed at his own request.113 In April 2008 while appearing as a guest on CNBC's Kudlow & Company, he specifically stated that he would not agree to serve as Vice President in a McCain administration, stating that he already had "the best job in the world" as governor of Texas. Further, during a Republican gubernatorial debate in January 2010, when asked if he would commit to serving out his term if re-elected, he replied that "the place hasn't been made yet" where he would rather serve than the governor of Texas. In December 2010, when asked if he was a "definite maybe" to run for President in 2012, he replied, "a definite no, brother".114
On May 27, 2011, he said he is "going to think about" running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination after the close of the Texas legislative session.115 Perry said in a response to a question from a reporter, "but I think about a lot of things," he added with a grin.116
On August 11, a Perry spokesman said that he will be running for President in 2012, with plans to announce his formal entry into the race the next day, August 12.117118 Perry himself confirmed it on a visit to KVUE, the ABC affiliate in Austin. As the Associated Press bulletin announcing his entry into the race came across the wire, Perry signed and dated a printed copy of the bulletin.119
On August 13, Perry officially announced that he will be running for president.120
After announcing his candidacy, Perry immediately became a serious contender for the race, with a poll released by Rasmussen Reports on August 16, 2011 showing him leading in the Republican field at 29 percent, with the eventual Republican nominee Mitt Romney at a distant second at 18 percent and the then-front runner Michele Bachmann at 13 percent.121 Perry hoped that Texas' own record of job growth in contrast to the rest of the country could persuade voters that he could reverse the economic downturn.122 However, by September Perry's campaign began to suffer following a number of poor performances at debates. Perry suffered even further following a November 2011 debate in which he was unable to name one of the three government agencies that he would eliminate as president; he later identified the third agency as the Department of Energy.123
In October 2011, the Washington Post reported that Perry's family leases a hunting camp once called "Niggerhead". According to some local residents interviewed by the Post, the Perrys used the camp for years before painting over a large rock with that name on it, which stands at an entrance to the area, and during this time Perry hosted friends and supporters at the camp.124 Perry's campaign disputed the claims, stating that the Perrys painted over the rock almost immediately after acquiring a lease on the property in 1983.125126 The Washington Post news reporter filing the October 1, 2011 news report interviewed seven people "...who spoke in detail of their memories of seeing the rock with the name at various points during the years that Perry was associated with the property through his father, partners or his signature on a lease."127
On December 6, Perry released a Presidential campaign video on YouTube called "Strong" discussing his religious beliefs, as well as criticism of Obama's governance.128 The video states "there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military, but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school." The video has been largely criticized in the on-line community and has received over 750,000 dislikes on YouTube.129
Perry came in fifth place in the Iowa caucuses and skipped the New Hampshire primary. With polls showing Perry trailing in the upcoming South Carolina primary, Perry announced on January 19, 2012, that he would be dropping out of the 2012 presidential race. Perry initially endorsed Newt Gingrich, but then endorsed Mitt Romney in April after Gingrich announced that he was suspending his campaign.130
In September 2012, an article stated that Perry "had major health issues too – a serious but previously undiagnosed sleep disorder [sleep apnea] that was discovered just as the front-runner label was slipping from his hands", which contributed to his losing the candidacy.131
Political future
By the end of his third full term, he will have served up to 14 consecutive years in office once his third full term expires. The University of Texas at Austin–Texas Tribune Poll released on June 17, 2013, showed Perry leading potential primary challenger Attorney General Greg Abbott by double digits, 45–19%.132 In February, the same poll had Perry leading by a 3-to-1 margin (49–17%) of 32 points over Abbott.133
Perry decided not to run for re-election to a fourth full term, announcing on July 8, 2013 that he would retire instead in front of family and supporters at the Holt Cat Headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.5 Perry will retire with the 10th longest gubernatorial tenure in United States history at the end of his term on January 20, 2015 at 5,144 days.134 Unnamed sources said to be close to Perry told the National Review that Perry may focus on another White House bid for 2016.6
Political views
See: Political positions of Rick Perry
Rick Perry has written two books:
- On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts are Worth Fighting For was published in February 2008.135 In his book, Perry celebrates the positive impact of the organization on the youth of America and criticizes the ACLU for its legal actions against the Boy Scouts of America.136
- His second book, Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington, was published in November 2010.137 Perry's second book discusses his support for limited central government.
Perry has also written a lecture about the role of the federal government and the military in disaster management titled Federalizing Disaster Response.138
Personal life
In 1982, Perry married Anita Thigpen, his childhood sweetheart whom he had known since elementary school. They have two grown children, Griffin and Sydney. Anita Perry attended West Texas State University and earned a degree in nursing. She has spearheaded a number of health-related initiatives such as the Anita Thigpen Perry Endowment at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, which focuses on nutrition, cardiovascular disease, health education, and early childhood development.139 Anita has also helped develop and host the Texas Conference for Women.140
Perry has played himself in minor roles for several feature films, including Man of the House, Deep in the Heart, and Hating Breitbart.
In 2001, the American Cowboy Culture Association, based in Lubbock, handed Perry its "The Top Cowboy of Texas" award. In accepting the honor, Perry cited the importance of his father, Ray Perry, and a former neighbor in Haskell County, the late Watt R. Matthews (born 1899), who Perry said taught him "not only about Texas and [its] history ... but also about the importance of the values that we learned growing up in a rural environment".141

My thought is that they were looking to tell a specific story when it came to the Phoenix Force and none of them wanted to deal with prior hosts or it's prior history with the X-Men. So they wrote a story to suit the needs of making the Phoenix Force an Avenger story. My assumption is due to Rachel's time-travelling past, plus all the Phoenix stuff and the future stuff, the writers felt to exclude her from the event. Sure she had a cool moment in AvX 3, but to really have any discussions of Rachel's connection to the Phoenix you had to go to the tie-in books. And even then it was really just Wolverine and the X-Men and Secret Avengers that actually mentioned Rachel was the most successful host at controlling the PF. So really, her history and lack of notoriety amongst the non-X readers helped allow the writers to sit her on the sidelines.
Well Rachel has always yearned for a connection to 616 Jean as her mother died when she was an infant. She always has had a relationship to 616 Scott in some way. So it would be nice to see her interact with Teen Scott. But with Teen Jean here, and needing a psychic to help her control her newfound telepathic powers, it only makes sense that Rachel should be involved. My HOPE is that sometime soon their scene happens. It would be wild for Jean, and humbling for Rachel. Or lots of lousy tears. Either way it has the ability to be epic.
I would hope that Bendis, Aaron, or both would seize the opportunity to write this scene, as it seems that readers are interested in seeing it happen. We'll see. In the meantime it seems that Rachel is just noticeably absent when showing most of the adult teaching staff and other mutants at the school and people just think it's weird.

Former Putnam County K9 Officer Honored Posthumouslyfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Taisha Walker Videographer: Matt Durrett Web Producer: Taisha Walker Reported: Sep. 3, 2013 12:31 PM EDT Updated: Sep. 3, 2013 4:34 PM EDT

, West Virginia
A longtime member of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office was honored posthumously on Tuesday. Flint Vom Rubohaus, who was a German Shepherd, was inducted to the Police Hall of Fame in August. His handler, Sgt. Shane Shamblin, accepted the award on the deceased dog's behalf Tuesday outside the Putnam County Sheriff's Office in Winfield. The 11-year-old dog passed away in July after serving eight years with the department. Shamblin described Flint as a loyal, goofy, fun-loving dog that was very much a member of his work and personal family. Shamblin said Flint was vital in the discovery of narcotics and bad guys. Shamblin said Flint was a dedicated officer. "When we're doing the job, you don't think about what you're doing." Shamblin said. "It's just part of the job, it's what he liked to do. I think now you look back and see what great things he did and how amazing he was." Flint also enjoyed being around kids.He often worked security and conducted searches in schools. The German Shepherd retired from the department in October, 2010 and passed away July 25th. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS
