Catholic Conference plans rally for religious freedom in Topeka on Friday
By SARAH TUCKERThe Wichita Eagle
The Kansas Catholic Conference will rally for religious freedom on Friday in Topeka.
Part of the "Fortnight for Freedom," sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the rally is intended to promote religious freedom as well as protest the mandate requiring employers to provide contraceptive coverage that is part of President Obama's health care law.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue its ruling on the Affordable Care Act today.
Michael Schuttloffel, executive director for the Kansas Catholic Conference, calls it a coincidence that the rally is scheduled for the day after the court's ruling. Regardless of the court's decision, the rally will go ahead as planned, Schuttloffel said.
"The mandate, while the most high-profile attack on religious freedom, isn't the only one," Schuttloffel said. "The theme remains salient regardless of what happens."
Ann Walden, a parishioner at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish in Wichita, plans to attend the rally with her oldest daughter.
"We want to raise awareness about the issue," Walden said. "It's not just about birth control; it's about religious freedom."
Bonnie Toombs, director of the Respect Life Social Justice Office in the Wichita Diocese, said she is going because she is morally opposed to the mandate. She doesn't know what the Supreme Court will decide but doesn't think it will affect the turnout. Organizers expect more than 2,000 people from across Kansas to attend.
All four Kansas dioceses are providing buses for some participants, and the Wichita Diocese plans to send 10 busloads of people. Dodge City is planning to send three buses, Salina five and Kansas City 19.
"It will either be a celebration or a protest," Toombs said, depending on the court's decision.
The rally is scheduled from 2 to 3:30 p.m. on the South lawn of the State Capitol. An assortment of speakers are scheduled to attend the rally, including the bishops of the four Kansas dioceses, Gov. Sam Brownback, U.S. Senator Jerry Moran and keynote speaker Cathy Ruse, senior fellow for Legal Studies at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. Prayers, scripture readings and readings of the nation's founding documents will also take place.
The event is open for anyone to attend, regardless of their religion.

"Which is tempting you more, my blood or my body?" Things are heating up between Bella Swan and her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen, in this sequel to the immensely popular Twilight (2005). Then Bella is injured at her birthday party, and the Cullens' reaction to her blood sends Edward's family packing. Bella is inconsolable until she discovers that reckless behavior allows her to hear Edward's warning voice in her head. To keep him close, she decides to live as dangerously as possible, acquiring two motorcycles and developing a close friendship with Jacob, who helps her rebuild them. Romantics will miss Edward's presence, but the suspense created by a pack of werewolves bent on protecting Bella from a vindictive vampire will keep them occupied until the lovers can be reunited. The writing is a bit melodramatic, but readers won't care. Bella's dismay at being ordinary (after all, she's only human) will strike a chord even among girls who have no desire to be immortal, and like the vampires who watch Bella bleed with "fevered eyes," teens will relish this new adventure and hunger for more.

Dear "Changeling" fans, The Daily Mirror appreciates your interest and feedback. Some of you may wonder why your comments aren't posted. The reason is that the Daily Mirror is dedicated to not spreading misinformation and some of your posts have errors--really bad ones. I'm speaking specifically of a message by "Lost" from ISP 18.104.22.168, (Typepad's commenting keeps track of Internet addresses, so firstname.lastname@example.com doesn't really help you). In the same way, I don't post links to other sites of unknown or dubious accuracy. So "bloodygoryphotosofbodies.com" is never going to see the light of day. The answers to almost all your questions about Christine Collins are here. The best way to find them is a Google restrictive search like this: site:latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror "Christine Collins" And thanks for reading! |

What is Hijab, what are Hijabs and what is Hijab Fashion?
Hijab is a broad concept that refers to the idea of modesty in Islam. The term hijab in Arabic means a 'screen' or 'partition' but in everyday use, the word hijab has come to mean anything from the general idea of modesty as it pertains to Muslim women, to the actual headscarf that is worn by observing Muslim women as an emblem of their faith. A Muslim woman who dresses modestly and covers her hair is said to "observe hijab" or "practice hijab" and also referred to as a "mohajaba" or "hijabi".
Hijabs (plural) always refers to the the Muslim headscarf . Muslim hijabs have over the centuries evolved and changed depending on many ethnic, cultural, geographic and socioeconomic factors such as who is the person wearing the hijab, where in the world the hijab is worn etc. The practice of wearing the Islamic hijab by a large number of Muslim women has resulted in the evolution of many different hijab styles with an established and thriving industry now devoted to hijab fashion.
There are many popular hijab styles in the Islamic hijab world. Let's start with the most tailored and most convenient option (but not necessarily the most fashionable), called the Al Amira hijab. This type of Muslim hijab is sewn and pulled on over the head, is commonly made of a stretch material and can be a one piece or 2 piece Al Amira hijab. 2 piece al Amira hijabs consist of a separate underscarf that covers the hairline and keeps any hair from showing and a top piece called a buknuk that covers the head shoulders and chest. The 1 pc Al Amira is similar but the underscarf and buknuk are sewn together into one hijab that you pull over your head. Since it stays in place without pins, the al Amira is suitable for the hijabi who wants a no-fuss full coverage option, and also for students and women who are physically active and play sports.
The simplest muslim hijab option is the oblong scarf called the Shayla hijab. This is basically a simple rectangle hijab that is generously sized so the wearer (called the hijabi) can wrap it around her head in any way she wishes. Shayla hijabs probably require the most creativity but also can look the most fashionable, because there are just so many different ways you can wrap your Shayla hijabs. Shayla hijabs also give the hijabi the opportunity to accessorize her hijab with pretty hijab pins and even hijab flowers, for a pretty, feminine, more dressed up look.
For hijabis who prefer the look of the Shayla hijabs but like a hijab that offers full coverage and don't want to spend as much time styling their hijabs, there is the in- between option, the Mona hijab. This has a tailored under cap with an attached oblong Shayla hijab. Just slip the cap on for hair coverage, and then drape your attached Shayla, and voila, you're ready.
Like square hijabs? Then check out Turkish square hijab styles. Also more fashionable, Turkish square hijab styles are often worn with the hair formed into a high bun or pony, and with the hijab peaked at the forehead and a headband underneath to cover the hairline. This gives the hijabi a more couture look with added height and looks graceful especially with professional and career wear.

19 September 2005 | News
The celebration for Valentino Rossi's new title has been postponed: a spill in Motegi kept the ace from winning the few points he needed to win the championship.
Although this was the first time that the champ from Tavullia failed to pick up points in a race, it only postpones the appointment with his 7th world title to the next race to be run on Sunday, September 25 in Sepang, Malaysia, where Valentino will surely claim revenge for the glory of his countless fans all over the world.
The honour of the Dainese Team in the heavyweight class was upheld in Japan by Max Biaggi, who thrilled the Japanese spectators in a one-on-one battle with Loris Capirossi. Although the Ducati racer got the upper hand at the very end, Max won the points he needed to rank second in command to only the Doctor himself in the standings.
In 250 cc competition, even with an aching shoulder brought on by a spill in the time trials, Daniel Pedrosa gritted his teeth and claimed an excellent 2nd place, showing a determination that some observers had not yet noticed.
This is the kind of toughness that Thomas Lüthi is going to have to show in his next Grand Prix races. Although he finished 2nd in his 125 cc class at Motegi, he was unable to step up to the winners' stand because a nasty spill on the 16th lap made the race judge call for the red flag. Although the Swiss racer won precious points, he now finds himself with a swollen ankle and a dislocated shoulder with just four days to get back in shape before the Sepang race. We're sure he'll make it in time.
The surprise in the Motegi race upset the predictions made by most D-Challenge players, so all the more credit to Firebolt in Brampton for guessing all the top 5 finishers.

Tucson, AZ (KOLD) - Sabino TE Matt Bushman came into the day with three options in terms of his collegiate destination, at days end, there was only one. The nations prep leader in receiving yards and touchdowns by a tight end, chose to attend BYU.
Bushman told me his mind was pretty much made up after his official visit at BYU. It didn't hurt that his parents, grandparents, and uncle are all alumni. Bushman's uncle Quinn Gooch played through the 2006 season. Bushman grew up a fan and it's safe to say there is a bit of family history there.

Brace yourselves, this might be the most hilariously embarrassing video we've ever seen -- sent by "Criminal Minds" star Thomas Gibson to a random stranger on the Internet ... after he got catfished hook, line, and sinker.
Here's the full story: a woman contacted Gibson on Twitter roughly two years ago, using a photo of a scantily clad woman, and told Gibson she was a huge fan. Gibson took the bait.
The woman -- who refused to tell us her age or name -- is from North Dakota. She says she carried on a 2-year relationship with Gibson (who's married) exchanging multiple explicit photos and video with him, using images she stole from various pornographic websites (including LoveGisele.com).
The result ... Gibson was smitten. Seriously, you have to watch the video, which he shot around Christmas last year in Utah. It's like the hot tub scene from "Austin Powers."
The woman says she actually developed feelings for Gibson too, and everything was going well until a few months ago, when she got a letter from Gibson's lawyers demanding she cut off contact ... because Gibson had discovered her pics were fake.
Shocker ... she says she hasn't heard from Gibson since. Too bad because the hot tub looked fantastic.
Another married man with some splainin' to do? Or did Tom spoof TMZ? I don't know, but I'll bet his wife will. Sigh.
hilariously embarrassing ??? The only thing hilariously embarrassing is TMZ posting this boring sh*t ........and the fact that i even come here and read or watch anything...well, thats just embarrassing, not hilarious..
why is this not shocking? white american males are the biggest creepers and liars,
but constantly call others out even tho they are the worst group of men...its pathetic.. I'm glad she exposed him for who he really is, a cheater and a liar to his wife.....but walks around calling others out and judging them...hypocrite as usual....run!!!
I hope she calls Nev and Max, who decide to film her story and we get to see the 350lb bulldyke confront Tom while he's in the hot tub with his wife. Now that''ll be hysterical
what a creeper
now his poor wife has to deal........
this is not his first time for sure,
a pretent husband and a pretend dad.....typical (w.A.m) hypocrite!!!
Hotchner, I mean Gibson, aren't you a little too old for this foolishness. First, you get a DUI and now this. Seriously, find a productive release to deal with these destructive urges because at this rate, you are on the verge of seriously screwing up your life if you're not careful. TMZ, that was not hilarious...sad is more like it.
Wow! You would think, being a celebrity, that he would have been WAY more cautious about who he was sending things to online.

CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (AP) -- A Massachusetts woman accused of posing as a teenage boy to prey on a West Virginia girl has pleaded guilty to one federal charge.
Twenty-five-year-old Carissa Hads of Quincy faces up to 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when sentenced on a single count of traveling across state lines with the intention of having sex with a minor.
She's currently in federal custody.
Hads appeared Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate John Kaull in Clarksburg.
Investigators say she pretended to be a boy on MySpace and began an online relationship with a Lewis County girl in 2010.
They say she visited the teen in West Virginia at least three times and had a sexual encounter with her in February.
Hads allegedly disguised her appearance with a back brace.

Sky Deutschland AG, branded as Sky, is a German media company which operates a Direct Broadcast Satellite Pay TV platform in Germany, Austria and Switzerland (through Teleclub) offering a collection of basic and premium digital subscription television channels of different categories via Satellite and Cable Television.
It was launched in 1991 as Premiere. The channel originally started off as a single analogue channel on the Astra 1A satellite, showing films dubbed into German as well as in original audio, live football matches from the German Bundesliga and Austrian Bundesliga (and at one time the UEFA Cup), as well as documentaries, and TV series. After the coming of the digital age, the service has since consisted of many channels with many new ones added over the years. On 4 July 2009, the service and its channels were re-branded as "Sky".
21st Century Fox owns 54.5% of Sky Deutschland; the remaining shares are owned by diverse shareholders.[2][3] The service owns 100 percent of its subsidiary Sky Deutschland Fernsehen GmbH & Co. KG (formerly Premiere Fernsehen GmbH & Co. KG).
Sky Deutschland topped 3,000,000 subscribers by the end of 2011. As of 31 March 2013 Sky Deutschland has 3,405,100 subscribers.
The German Sky has its origin in the analogue premium channel "Premiere". It was owned by Kirch Group, Bertelsmann and Canal+ and started broadcasting in 1991.
In 1996, Kirch Media launched a digital satellite platform called DF1 which offered several different channels, including premium movie and sports channels.
Premiere started broadcasting three digital channels in 1997, one channel mirroring the analogue channel and two showing the same content at different times.
Premiere and DF1 merged to form "Premiere World" on 1 October 1999. Many of the channels offered on DF1 were carried over to Premiere World, others were rebranded or closed.
In 2002, the service became known as simply "Premiere". Many of the channels were rebranded and the package structure was overhauled at the same time. At the same time, KirchGroup filed for bankruptcy. In 2003, investment group Permira stepped in and took control of Premiere.
Exclusivity was for a long time a major selling point for Premiere, and most of its channels were only available through the Premiere platform. This changed in September 2007, when Premiere launched "Premiere Star", a new satellite package made up of channels that weren't exclusive to Premiere. The new package Sky Welt/Extra. The package included TNT Serie, TNT Film, Sat.1 emotions, Kabel eins Classics, AXN, Kinowelt.TV, RTL Living, RTL Crime, FOX, Syfy Universal, Animax, Disney Junior, Disney XD, Boomerang, Cartoon Network, ESPN America, Eurosport HD, Eurosport 2, National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, MTV Germany, MTV Live HD and Nicktoons.[4]
On 4 July 2009, Premiere was rebranded to become Sky Deutschland. In conjunction with the relaunch, many channels would disappear from the platform, many would switch packages, many were renamed and several new channels were added. The rebrand resulted a return of News Corporation's Sky brand in Germany since the encryption of the Sky Channel (now Sky1) in 1993, apart from availability of Sky News.
An inside account of the rise of Premiere, DF1, Premiere World and then Sky Deutschland to become a major satellite TV provider in Europe is given in the book, High Above, which tells the story of the foundation and development of the leading European satellite operator, SES.
Besides private customers Sky Germany also has trade customers using Sky TV to attract and entertain customers.
The channels that make up the Sky package broadcast from the Astra 19.2°E satellite position, using the Astra 1H, Astra 1L, and Astra 1M satellites. Channels are uplinked by SES Platform Services.

I loved it Go back to school America and don't be afraid to lose your job! Enjoyed every moment of that movie! Tom and Julia are the best and all other actors super!
While there were some chuckles in this movie and Julia Roberts portrayed her character competently,, this superficial, unimaginative and trite movie was shocking in that it was the work of Tom Hanks who has played so many complex characters with depth and reality. In this movie Tom Hanks couldn't seem to find his footing--was he a diffident, loser-type guy, a confident, revel in life's

I got a bottle of this stuff, a billion years ago, but never used it. I just peeled off whatever it was I was trying to move with mixed results. More times than not, I tore my background paper. On my latest project, I needed to remove a large journaling velum. I had to be extra careful as the replacement would probably be smaller and translucent. So I finally grabbed my bottle of Undo to test it out. It instantly broke the adhesive gap and I was able to remove my old journaling and all of the adhesive without damaging the background paper in anyway. I LOVE this stuff! You think it's a lot of liquid but it dries quickly, does not discolor anything, and leaves no stains. As someone who is always repositioning things, I wish I had started using this stuff sooner.
I love this item. I have been using it for years and everytime I show it to one of my friends at work, church or craft class, they are amazed at what it can do. I usually demo it by using a piece of klenex tissue paper and putting a sticker on it. Any kind of sticker will do but I use the address kind that once they are down they are down for good. When they see that the sticker comes off the tissue paper without tearing the tissue and then they find out thta they can reuse the sticker -- it sells itself. This is the best product I have ever used as far as adhesive removers go and I have only one wish -- I wish I had discovered it first so I could be the one getting rich off of it. Try it -- you will love it. Nila Weekley
I was so happy to find un-do adhesive remover! As a scrapbooking mom, it is invaluable. I bought a bottle for myself and a bottle for a fellow scrapbooking friend. We have alerted all our scrapbooking friends that we have found un-do and scrapbook.com is the place to get it!
It's the best for removing old photos from those old magnetic photo albums. My husband had three albums that not only had the old magnetic pages, but these albums had been through, not one, but TWO house fires. Some of the pictures were WELDED to the pages, but un-do adhesive remover safely removed the photos without any damage to them. Way to go Un-Do! Thanks for carrying such a wonderful product!

5 "..FUN FIGHT FILM.."sdx800 | 02/05/2011 | See all sdx800's reviews (1725)Number 1 Reviewer Number 1 DVD Reviewer Top 100 Games Reviewer Top 10 Gadgets Reviewer Top 10 Toys Reviewer You dont need to be a fan of the game to enjoy this, its a fast paced quality action movie full of cool fight scenes and great characters, the cast was great and all the fighters where done well, the story was good too, personally I thought as a game movie it was done very well and fans shouldnt complain it could have been allot worse, im a street fighter fan and the last movie they made about that was rubbish beyond belief, Tekken is twenty times better and watchable and is worthy of spending a night in for a bit of popcorn fun, check it out if you love a good fight movie!!!
3 Moderatrely good....TheModerateShow | 09/03/2011 | See all TheModerateShow's reviews (1)This has to be the best cinematic adaptation of a beat-em-up game that I have seen. Although, its only contest is Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter and DOA.The acting is wooden at times, and the plot can be difficult for non-Tekken fans to appreciate. However, what really saves this movie is the fight scenes. They are well directed and well faught out. The fighting styles are exactly the same as the game characters and, watching them, you feel as though you are watching a live action version of the game.Overall, it is watchable. But prepare to forget it shortly afterwards.
3 Great fight scenes, lacks the humour of MORTAL KOMBATWingCommander | 03/05/2011 | See all WingCommander's reviews (48)Post apocalyptic martial arts movie based on the successful video game franchise. The characters from the game are recognisable Some very nice costumes, amazing to see a few of the in-game characters, Raven looked amazing and the ladies outfits showed good muscle tone !Overall I feel it just lacked on production value as the budget of $35 million must have gone somewhere, the entire film was shot at night or in dark buildings, after seeing low budget B-movie SKYLINE which cost $9 million you can forgive the actors being stuck in a LA condo and it made a large profit in the cinema excluding DVD/Bluray sales. Tekken however only took less than $1 million in U.S box-office sales and looks like a american TV movie!If you like classic Van-Damme movies you'll enjoy this as it reminds me of KICKBOXER, funny coincidence because he starred in STREET FIGHTER with Kylie Minnogue in Raul Julia last performance. The funky techno humorous MORTAL KOMBAT directed by Paul Anderson is still marginally the best film based on a fighting Game, mainly the infusion of humour also if Cameron Diaz had not had an injury she would have launched her career as Sonja Blade . DOA was an Xbox exclusive so didn't have the gaming followers of the playstation on nintendo and Eric Roberts as the big boss bad guy is debatable.
1 This is not what you think, it's worseTheReaperGR | 14/01/2013 | See all TheReaperGR's reviews (1)I have seen this movie. The only reason I am writing this review, is because the score I saw is too high for what it actually is. I am surprised to see people give 3 and even 5 stars to this movie, when it clearly is just a taunt for every self respecting cinefil. You don't need to be a fan of the game to see how bad it is. You just need to know some things about movies.The actors are unknown, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I was expecting that it would at least be a decent movie. However, The dialogues are crappy, the backgrounds are lower than bad and no one even tried to pay some attention to hide the fact that they were using plastic weapons. There is an axe towards the end of the movie that Jin steps on and its blade is shown to bend. That was the drop that made me go bersek.In addition, some stupid VFX, those gloves that Jin was using that hardly resembled gloves and a story that is sickly retarded, give you the result that every decent viewer does NOT want to pay for. And for those that already are aware of the game's storyline, prepare to be GREATLY disappointed. If you ever gather on a protest against the production of this garbage movie, let me know.And to reply to another mister who claims that the movie lacks the Mortal Kombat Humor, I have to say this:OF COURSE it does. This is not Mortal Kombat, it's Tekken. At least it's supposed to be...Do not get this movie. You will regret it, believe me. The Blu-Ray title may be dazzling, but I bet the scene with the bending axe hasn't changed. If you ignore this warning and go for it, remember what you read here after your certain disappointment.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); request for comments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The FHWA seeks public comment concerning use of the ``North American Uniform Out-of-Service Criteria'' (OOS Criteria). During roadside inspections, Federal, State and local safety inspectors use the OOS Criteria as a guide in determining whether to place commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) or drivers of CMVs out-of-service. The OOS Criteria is a list of those violations which are so unsafe that they must be corrected before operations can resume. Correction of other less severe violations can be deferred to a more convenient time and place. The FHWA is seeking public comment on the future scope and effect of the OOS Criteria, which are not part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The agency is also seeking comment on the need to formalize these guidelines. DATES: Comments should be received on or before September 18, 1998. ADDRESSES: Signed, written comments should refer to the docket number appearing at the top of this document and must be submitted to the Docket Clerk, U.S. DOT Dockets, Room PL-401, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001. All comments received will be available for examination at the above address between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Those desiring notification of receipt of comments must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope or postcard. [[Page 38792]] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert F. Schultz, Jr., Office of Motor Carrier Research and Standards (HCS-10), (202) 366-4009, or Mr. Charles Medalen (HCC-20), Office of the Chief Counsel, (202) 366-1354, Federal Highway Administration, Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. Office hours are from 7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., e.t., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Electronic Access Internet users can access all comments received by the U.S. DOT Dockets, Room PL-401, by using the universal resource locator (URL):http://dms.dot.gov. It is available 24 hours each day, 365 days each year. Please follow the instructions online for more information and help.

What is the ``North American Uniform Out-of-Service Criteria''? The OOS Criteria is a reference guide developed and maintained by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) to assist enforcement personnel in deciding whether to allow a CMV or driver, found in violation of law, to continue in commerce. The CVSA is an association of State, local, provincial and Federal officials responsible for the administration and enforcement of motor carrier safety laws and regulations in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The CVSA provides a mechanism for the development of consensus upon issues of common concern. The OOS Criteria is a detailed list of conditions which the CVSA membership has agreed are sufficiently hazardous to justify restricting further operation by a driver or a CMV. Each year the CVSA reviews the OOS Criteria, and makes necessary changes. How are the OOS Criteria Used? The majority of the safety violations found during inspections at the roadside relate to the condition of the CMV. Some of these violations can be corrected at the roadside; for example, a driver can repair a turn signal which is not functioning. Others must be corrected at a repair facility. If a particular safety violation presents no immediate or undue threat to public safety, it would be an unnecessary interruption in the flow of commerce and perhaps even cause a traffic safety problem to require the motor carrier to undertake corrective action on site. In such cases, the assessment of a warning, fine, or other penalty is sufficient; the repairs necessary to prevent further deterioration or ultimately correct the condition may safely be deferred to another time and place. In this sense, the OOS Criteria are usually less stringent than the FMCSRs. For example, a CMV with a single headlamp incapable of producing a low beam during night-time driving does not comply with the FMCSRs (49 CFR 393.9). The OOS Criteria, however, are not operable until both headlamps are incapable of producing a low beam. In this example, the inspector would cite the motor carrier for the violation of the FMCSRs, but permit the CMV to proceed so that repairs to the headlamp can be made at a more convenient time and place. In cases such as this, the OOS Criteria serve as enforcement tolerances because the violation of the FMCSRs is allowed to continue. In other instances, provisions of the OOS Criteria correspond precisely with the FMCSRs. For example, a CMV with only one rear turn signal working properly does not comply with the FMCSRs (49 CFR 393.11). The OOS Criteria also provides that the CMV should not be moved until both signals are in working order. State inspectors with general police powers have authority under State law to stop and seize summarily. All States participating in the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) have agreed that their inspectors will use the OOS Criteria when exercising this power. If an inspector, during an inspection activity, observes inherently dangerous conditions which are identified in the OOS Criteria, the inspector may issue an out-of-service order. Motor carriers and their drivers are able to anticipate reasonably uniform treatment of violations in all jurisdictions throughout this country because of the general acceptance of the OOS Criteria. The majority of drivers who are placed out-of-service are so treated because they are driving in violation of the maximum hours-of- service rules under 49 CFR part 395. Such violations are usually corrected by the driver being off-duty at least eight consecutive hours. An FHWA inspector at roadside may order a motor carrier's driver or CMV to cease operation.1 When conducting roadside vehicle and driver inspections, the FHWA uses the OOS Criteria in deciding whether to allow particular motor carriers, CMVs, or drivers to proceed in violation of the FMCSRs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ See 49 CFR 395.13(a), and 396.9(c). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- How has the OOS Criteria Evolved? Out-of-service criteria for drivers and CMVs have been in existence over forty years. Prior to its absorption into the United States Department of Transportation in 1967, the Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety (BMCS), a part of the former Interstate Commerce Commission, developed the first out-of-service criteria in carrying out its inspection function. Those criteria continued in use by the FHWA safety investigators thereafter. In 1980, the FHWA conducted a pilot program to assess the potential of States to enforce CMV safety rules at the same time they enforce the restrictions on the size and weight of CMVs. Four States participated and generated results which were a factor in the enactment of legislation in 1982 authorizing the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. That program, which provides funding to the States in their efforts to enforce motor carrier safety regulations, has been quite successful. The States were brought together on another front by their search for a solution to the problems created by the patchwork of diverse State laws and regulations governing motor carrier safety. The States came to realize that a larger number of motor carriers could comply with safety laws and regulations if greater uniformity in enforcement were achieved. Several western States and Canadian Provinces formed the CVSA to reach agreement on issues such as inspections and out-of- service criteria. With the subsequent encouragement and support of the FHWA through the MCSAP, the CVSA expanded dramatically. Soon all 50 States and the District of Columbia became partners with the FHWA by adopting and enforcing, with minor variances, the FMCSRs and the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs) of the Research and Special Programs Administration, and by using uniform inspection criteria. In 1988, the FHWA published a comparison of the OOS Criteria and the FHWA's inspection criteria in 49 CFR Ch. III, subchapter B, appendix G. The fact that this comparison is so outdated and of little use today demonstrates one of the issues discussed below in the options for further regulatory action. [[Page 38793]] The Motor Carrier Act of 1991 (the Act) prescribed certain penalties for motor carriers or drivers found to have violated out-of- service orders (49 U.S.C. 31310(g)(2)). The Act made the adoption of such penalties by the States, and a program of random reinspection of vehicles placed out-of-service, a condition for receipt of Federal safety funding under the MCSAP. The Congress also made a State's adoption of the penalties for violation of out-of-service orders a condition of continued receipt of the State's full allocation of highway construction funds (49 U.S.C. 31311). The FHWA published implementing regulations on May 18, 1994 (59 FR 26022) (codified in part at 49 CFR 383.5 and 390.5, definitions of ``out-of-service criteria''). What is the FHWA's Role in the Development of the OOS Criteria? The FHWA is a non-voting member of the CVSA, as are representatives of numerous trade organizations, such as the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the National Private Truck Council (NPTC), the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, Inc. (OOIDA), and the National Tank Truck Carriers, Inc. (NTTC). Committees of the CVSA consider and recommend modifications to the OOS Criteria, which are then accepted or rejected by a vote of CVSA member jurisdictions. The revised OOS Criteria are then submitted to the FHWA for its use. The FHWA's interest in the OOS Criteria is three-fold. First, as part of the MCSAP program, each State develops a Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan (CVSP) which the FHWA must approve before authorizing funds. At the present time, the CVSPs of all the States provide for use of the OOS Criteria in conducting driver, vehicle, and hazardous materials inspections at the roadside. Second, the FHWA's own safety investigators use the CVSA OOS criteria in the limited number of roadside inspections they perform each year. By following the CVSA OOS criteria in determining whether to place a driver or vehicle out-of-service, the FHWA is promoting consistency with these State-developed criteria and further uniformity in treatment of carriers nationwide. Third, the FHWA also uses the OOS Criteria indirectly in determining the safety fitness of motor carriers (49 CFR 385.5). The FHWA's safety ratings for motor carriers include three categories: Satisfactory, Conditional, or Unsatisfactory (49 CFR 385.7). The ratings are based on a number of factors, including compliance with the FMCSRs. The FHWA has recently placed greater emphasis on the safety performance of motor carriers in the rating process, and this action has led to additional emphasis on the OOS Criteria. The FHWA considers the vehicle out-of-service experience of motor carriers when calculating the vehicle factor, one of the six components of a motor carrier's safety rating. Rather than taking all roadside violations into account, the FHWA considers only out-of-service violations on the presumption that, because they are more serious, they are more likely to reflect on the inspection, repair, and maintenance programs of motor carriers.2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \2\ The out-of-service history is drawn from the nearly 2 million vehicle inspections which are performed each year by the States participating in the MCSAP. If a motor carrier experiences a ratio of out-of-service inspections to ``clean'' inspections of 34 percent or greater (minimum of 3 inspections), the initial rating for the Vehicle Factor is Conditional. The FHWA believes setting the ratio, commonly called the ``out-of-service rate,'' at 34 percent is appropriate because the national average is 33 percent. For a more detailed explanation of the Safety Fitness Rating Methodology, please consult FHWA Docket No. 94-22; FHWA-97-2252 (59 FR 47203), and see two notices: (1) Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Safety Fitness Procedures; Safety Ratings, May 28, 1997 (62 FR 28826), and (2) Final Rule, Safety Fitness Procedures, November 6, 1997 (62 FR 60035). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why is the FHWA Undertaking This Action? The agency believes that the OOS Criteria serve as guides for enforcement personnel in the exercise of discretion. The inspector determines if there is a violation of the underlying substantive safety regulation, whether it be the FMCSRs, a State law or regulation compatible with the FMCSRs, or the HMRs. When this determination has been made, the inspector faces a second question: may this particular driver or vehicle resume operations immediately in the face of this violation? The inspector exercises his or her discretion in answering this question. The OOS Criteria serve as guidelines to help the inspector determine whether the condition that he or she is observing is sufficiently hazardous to warrant placing the driver or CMV out-of- service, or conversely, whether the condition is not serious enough to prevent the driver and CMV from proceeding in violation of the regulation, deferring the repairs until a more convenient time and location. Thus, the OOS Criteria take on the character of enforcement tolerances. The FHWA is responding today, however, to a growing perception within the industry that the CVSA OOS Criteria play a significant role in the enforcement of the FMCSRs, and that publication of the criteria as a part of the FMCSRs is therefore warranted. The FHWA believes that the time has come for a full discussion of the OOS Criteria: what are they; what is their purpose; how are they used; who is responsible for implementing them; and whether they are regulatory or merely guides for the use of necessary discretion in the enforcement of motor carrier safety. The FHWA is undertaking this action because there has been criticism of the manner in which the CVSA OOS Criteria are currently utilized. On May 1, 1989, the Maine State Police petitioned the FHWA to incorporate the CVSA OOS Criteria by reference within the FMCSRs. On October 29, 1993, the CVSA, petitioned the FHWA to define ``out-of- service criteria,'' and incorporate the CVSA OOS Criteria into the FMCSRs by reference. On June 13, 1994, the OOIDA filed a motion with the FHWA to stay the imposition of certain final FHWA rules pertaining to penalties for violation of out-of-service orders, and cited in support of its motion the failure of the FHWA to formally incorporate these standards within the FMCSRs (FHWA Docket No. MC-92-13; FHWA-97- 2279 at 59 FR 26022). On April 20, 1995, the National Tank Truck Carriers, Inc. petitioned the FHWA to propose a rulemaking to establish the OOS Criteria as an appendix to the FMCSRs. On June 10, 1997, the FHWA granted the NTTC's petition, stating as part of the order entered that the FHWA would ``publish a rulemaking to discuss the entire issue and propose a resolution.'' This ANPRM initiates that rulemaking. Public comment on the issues raised in this ANPRM will assist the FHWA in determining whether any further regulatory action is required. What Should be the Future Scope and Effect of the OOS Criteria? 1. Maintain the current FHWA policy. As stated above, the FHWA uses the current CVSA OOS Criteria in several ways. The FHWA has treated these criteria as enforcement tolerances, as guidelines for its own staff, and as acceptable alternatives for States to use in their State Enforcement Plans adopted under the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program. Although these criteria are mentioned in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (see, e.g., 49 CFR sections 383.5 and 390.5, definitions of ``out-of- service orders''), the criteria themselves have not been adopted by the FHWA pursuant to notice and comment rulemaking. As [[Page 38794]] noted above, some industry representatives believe that the FHWA's use of these criteria has evolved to the point where adoption of the criteria pursuant to notice and comment rulemaking is warranted and desirable. As part of this rulemaking, the FHWA will consider the scope and effect of the OOS criteria and the use to which the FHWA puts these criteria. One possible alternative is to limit the use of the criteria in ways that do not require adoption of the criteria as regulations. Under its current policy, the FHWA considers the OOS criteria to be a tool to determine whether violations of the FMCSRs (or compatible State safety regulations) are so serious as to warrant ordering a motor carrier to cease using the driver or vehicle in question. The criteria themselves do not establish separate standards of conduct for regulated entities, nor is it intended that use of the criteria excuses other less serious violations of applicable safety regulations. Accordingly, comment is requested on the fundamental question of how the FHWA should use any OOS criteria. Comment is also solicited on the desirability of adopting the OOS criteria after notice and opportunity for comment, even if such opportunity for further public participation is not required. 2. Adoption of the OOS Criteria in the FMCSRs. Comment is requested on the alternative of adopting the OOS criteria as part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, either because of the use to which the criteria is or should be put or because of the desirability of the opportunity for public participation inherent in the process of adopting these criteria as Federal regulations. If the FHWA should adopt out-of-service criteria by regulation, can the FHWA avoid undermining the general principle that compliance with all applicable safety regulations is required? Should the FHWA specifically require the use of such federally adopted out-of- service criteria by States as a condition of MCSAP, or could the adopted criteria be one of several acceptable sets of criteria States could use? How would, or should, adoption of such criteria limit the discretion or Federal and State safety investigators to address discovered driver and vehicle safety violations at the roadside? Should investigators be limited to issuing out-of-service orders only to cases that expressly meet the adopted criteria? Should investigators be required to issue out-of-service orders in all cases where the criteria are met? How much discretion should investigators retain to address safety hazards discovered at the roadside that may not be precisely covered in the adopted criteria? 3. How should out-of-service criteria be adopted? In addition to the basic question of whether the FHWA should adopt these criteria as regulations, the FHWA is requesting comment on the most desirable way to accomplish any such adoption. As explained above, the existing criteria are developed by the CVSA. Section 12 of Pub. L. 104-113 (see 5 U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use technical standards that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The FHWA appreciates the work done by the CVSA in maintaining the current criteria, and recognizes the value of that effort. The FHWA is also mindful of the role of the States in the MCSAP program and the desirability of using State-developed criteria or standards in the MCSAP program whenever possible. Therefore, the FHWA is seeking specific comment on how the FHWA should adopt any out-of- service criteria. Should the FHWA, for example, consider adopting the CVSA criteria and incorporating them in the FMCSRs, either as an appendix to the FMCSRs or by seeking approval from the Director of the Office of the Federal Register to incorporate by reference the CVSA criteria into the FMCSRs? Should the FHWA set forth the text of any criteria adopted in the body of its safety regulations? What implications, if any, would there be for continued State development of out-of-service criteria if the FHWA adopts separate criteria or incorporates existing criteria? How can the FHWA best address the federalism implications of adopting out-of-service criteria that may be used by the States which have concurrent motor carrier safety jurisdiction? How can national uniformity be promoted, and how can maximum State and industry acceptance of the criteria be gained, by any proposed alternative adoption method? Request for Comments A copy of the CVSA OOS criteria has been placed in the docket and may be accessed and viewed electronically following the instructions provided at the beginning of the Supplementary Information section of this ANPRM. Copies of the OOS Criteria may also be obtained at offices of the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Motor Carriers located in each State. The telephone numbers of the State offices may be obtained by telephoning 1-800-832-5660. The FHWA invites public comment on the OOS Criteria: What are they? Who should be responsible for implementing them? How should they be used? Are they appropriate for regulatory treatment, or should they remain as guides to the enforcement of motor carrier safety by participating jurisdictions? What should the scope and effect of the OOS Criteria be? Should they be referred to in the FMCSRs? If so, in what manner? Should they continue to be used in safety fitness determinations? The FHWA welcomes the presentation of alternatives to the approaches outlined in this document. The FHWA is not, however, seeking comment on the substance of the OOS Criteria at this time. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices All comments received before the close of business on the comment closing date indicated above will be considered and will be available for examination in the docket room at the above address. Comments received after the comment closing date will be filed in the docket and will be considered to the extent practicable. In addition to late comments, the FHWA will also continue to file in the docket relevant information that becomes available after the comment closing date, and interested persons should continue to examine the docket for new material. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures The FHWA has determined that this action is not significant within the meaning of Executive Order 12866 or significant within the meaning of Department of Transportation regulatory policies and procedures. Due to the preliminary nature of this document and lack of necessary information on costs, the FHWA is unable to evaluate the economic impact of the potential regulatory changes being considered in this rulemaking. Based on the information received in response to this notice, the FHWA intends to carefully consider the costs and benefits associated with various alternative requirements. Comments, information, and data are solicited on the economic impact of any potential change. Regulatory Flexibility Act Due to the preliminary nature of this document and lack of necessary information on costs, the FHWA is unable to evaluate the effects of the potential regulatory changes on small entities. Based on the information received in response to this notice, the [[Page 38795]] FHWA intends, in compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), to carefully consider the economic impact of these potential changes on small entities. The FHWA solicits comments, information and data on these impacts. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The FHWA will analyze any proposed rule to determine whether it would result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year, as required by the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1532). Executive Order 12612 (Federalism Assessment) This action has been analyzed using the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12612. Because of the preliminary nature of this document, it is not possible to determine whether this proposal will have sufficient federalism implications to warrant the preparation of a federalism assessment. The FHWA is presenting this rulemaking as an opportunity to air complex issues. These issues appear to have federalism implications. For example, adoption by the FHWA of the OOS Criteria as part of the FMCSRs would have an effect on States and municipalities. By making the OOS Criteria a part of the FMCSRs, the FHWA would be exercising control over those criteria. The CVSA might experience a diminished role in the development of policy standards for the exercise of enforcement discretion. Its member States might likewise experience a reduced role in their relationships with the Federal government. Incorporation by reference within the FMCSRs might have less of a federalism impact. The FHWA would have to conduct a rulemaking whenever the CVSA developed revisions of the OOS Criteria. But, because the language of the OOS Criteria would be more directly under the control of the CVSA, the federalism impact would be less than in the first approach. Maintaining the current policy would appear to have minimal federalism impact. The State-Federal partnership which has been operative in this area would presumably continue, and the CVSA and its member States would continue to play a large role in the maintenance of the OOS Criteria. Executive Order 12372 (Intergovernmental Review) The regulations implementing Executive Order 12372 regarding intergovernmental consultation on Federal programs and activities do not apply to this program. Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Program Number 20.217, Motor Carrier Safety. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not contain a collection of information requirement for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520. National Environmental Policy Act The agency has analyzed this action for purposes of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and it has determined that this action would not have any effect on the quality of the environment. Regulation Identification Number A regulation identification number (RIN) is assigned to each regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations.

Expelled for profanity
An incident in Indiana raises the question: Should tweeting an F bomb get you kicked out of school?
Topics: Twitter, Teenagers, Life News
Austin Carroll is a 17-year-old high school senior in Garrett, Ind., who recently did something so outrageous that it got him expelled from school. He used profanity. On Twitter. Oh my stars and garters! What is the world coming to?
To hear even his own family describe him, Carroll sounds like a bit of a handful. Last month, he earned a suspension for violating the school dress code and wearing a kilt, and last fall, he ran afoul of the school administration for tweeting an F bomb via a school computer.
But Carroll insists his more recent Twitter tirade — which Indiana News Center colorfully quotes as "BEEP is one of those BEEP words you can BEEP use in any BEEP sentence and it still BEEP make sense" – was banged out from his personal account on his home computer. The school district says the post came from a school-issued device or the school's network. (Both Carroll and the district seem to agree that the post was not directed at any individual or the school itself.)
But students at Carroll's school are expected to sign a Respectable Use Policy that requires them to "consider the information and images that I post online," to not "flame, bully, harass or stalk people" or visit sites "that are degrading, pornographic, racist or inappropriate." There's no specific limit on word choice, which suggests that the school has now granted itself considerable leeway in interpreting its own rules.
Adding an invasively chilling element to the whole affair is the recent tweet from the Garrett School District's IT director, who said, "Freedom of speech is our right, but it doesn't (always) make it appropriate. Think before you type people. #austincarroll." Because your school is watching you, kids.
It's true that if more people thought before they typed, the Internet would be a markedly saner place. It's easy to forget your teachers or your parents might see the words you're banging out in what feels like perfect solitude. But Carroll wasn't threatening anyone or deploying hate speech. He was just using some naughty words. He may even have been doing it on his own computer on his own time. And his school appears to have never issued a specific policy on the words in question anyway. So we are left with a kid who will now have to finish out his senior year at a nearby "alternative" school, where at least he can ostensibly wear a kilt and curse on Twitter and nobody will care.

To Catch a Scoundrel
This is cleared up, and as a way of thanking her for her help, Rand commissions a brooch for his mistress. It seems he's unwittingly been a customer of Miss Wilson's before, but this time, the delivery is mishandled. Rand's soon-to-be-ex-mistress is given a paste copy of the real brooch, and Harriet decides she must find the mysterious baron and rectify the mistake. She takes her young cousins and heads for Leicestershire and Lord Dunford's hunting box.
Harriet is astonished when the first person she meets is the stranger whose head she bandaged. Rand, wishing to dodge his reputation as the rakish "Lord Care-for-Naught", gives his name as "Mr. Randolph" and offers to show Harriet and her cousins around the countryside. The story becomes a bit of a farce as Rand becomes trapped in his lies even as he's falling for Harriet.
There is a secondary romance between a plain daughter of a wealthy mine owner and a shirttail relation of Harriet's, and Rand's younger brother Dunford also plays a part. Rand has a painful family history that he needs to resolve, too. All in all, there's a lot going on, though the threads interweave neatly.
Two things kept me from enjoying this book as much as I might have. One was the author's tendency to lapse into rather fussy prose for no reason. These people don't eat, for example, they "break their fast", or "partake of a substantial breakfast". It seemed affected and it certainly distracted this reader. By the second half of the book, though, the action picked up and such mannerisms were largely forgotten in favor of more straightforward prose.
The second annoyance was Harriet's reaction when faced with the truth of Rand's deception. Or rather, Rand tries to explain, and Harriet lapses into the Regency version of "I won't listen to a thing you have to say!", which was utterly ridiculous and completely out of sync with her character up to that point. She does eventually recover, but it was a jarring note.
A subplot involving a villain from Rand's past is used to set up a climactic moment, but readers will see it coming. No surprises here, though it's handled intelligently.
Rand and Harriet are a good match. The tension between them builds nicely, and readers will be pleased at their happy ending.
Miss Wilson's Reputation is an enjoyable romance with enough twists to keep it entertaining. Consider this a solid Regency read.
