Saturday Morning Fever with the Family
Mom's Morning
I remember a time when Friday night lasted till dawn and the actual day part of Saturday didn't get going until sometime in the afternoon. I'd open my eyes and see, half a pillow away, the face of an adorable man I'd spent untold hours kissing the night before. Sometimes I'd look at the clock -- only 11:30! -- and sink back into unconsciousness. Sometimes I'd slide across the pillow and launch Friday night all over again.
Not anymore. Here's how Saturday goes nowadays:
12:25 a.m. Friday night still bleeds into Saturday for my husband, Haywood, and me, but now it's because of our son Sam -- the result of all that kissing 15 years ago -- whose busy social life has turned us into a late-night valet service. Luckily, Saturday is the one day we don't have school or church, so we can switch off the phones (the better to ignore all the 15-year-old girl callers) and settle in for nine straight hours of peace and quiet.
5:17 a.m. Well, not quite: In three-part harmony, Haywood is snoring, the robins outside our window are singing, and two young Jedi fighters -- Sam's brothers, Henry, 10, and Joe, 8 -- are training for a light-saber battle just outside our bedroom door. I roll over and grab my sleep mask (the black sash from Henry's ninja costume) and wrap it mummy style across my eyes. For good measure, I slam a pillow over my head.
7:22 a.m. Fending off storm troopers gives Joe and Henry an appetite. "Why not cook some eggs and toast?" they think in that primordial way of children with no skills, no training, and no sense that skills and training would come in handy. I hear them banging around dimly, but I play possum. Haywood, a schoolteacher, leaves for work before 7 most mornings; it's his turn to feed them.
7:32 a.m. An argument is being conducted in stage whispers beside my bed: "She's going to get really mad when you tell her about the fire."
"Joe, it wasn't a fire!"
"So why is the smoke alarm going off?"
"The smoke alarm always goes off when you turn on the toaster."
"She's going to get really mad when you tell her about it." Henry's right. We live in a house with appliances that haven't been deep cleaned since the Reagan Administration, and the smoke alarm in our kitchen goes off almost every day.
7:33 a.m. I sit up, pushing aside pillows and Halloween gear. I say, "Where's Dad?"
"I think he's playing golf," Joe says.
I consider killing my husband.

By Times Staff
Gloucester Daily Times
---- — The head of a long-standing Fort neighborhood lobstering business has asked the city's Fisheries Commission for its support in dealing with the potential impact of construction along Commercial Street in connection with the proposed Beauport Gloucester hotel.
In a one-page memo to the commission, re-established last year by Mayor Carolyn Kirk as Gloucester and other New England fishermen continued to wrestle with federal regulations and related issues, Vincent Mortillaro of Mortillaro Lobster Inc. said he is "seeking support from the Fisheries Commission to mitigate negative impacts during this (development and construction) process."
The commission, headed by David Bergeron, is slated to discuss the issue as part of its regular meeting set for tonight at 5:30 in the first-floor conference room at City Hall.
The memo from Mortillaro aims to address both the planned construction of the hotel — being developed by Beauport Gloucester LLC, a corporation headed by New Balance owner Jim Davis and Cruiseport Gloucester's Sheree DeLorenzo, if they get City Council permit approval — and the overall Fort infrastructure improvements — for which the city has already begin engineering work. City officials had hoped for the infrastructure work to be funded by a state MassWorks grant of $5 million, but the state turned down Gloucester's grant request, city officials learned earlier this month.
Kirk and Department of Public Works Director Mike Hale have indicated that the infrastructure project, aimed at boosting water and sewer service along Commercial Street, will go forward, with officials looking into funding options. Beauport Gloucester, meanwhile, has provided $600,000 to fund design for the infrastructure work, even as the hotel permitting process moves forward. Both Beauport Gloucester and city officials have emphasized that the developers' grant is not, in any way, contingent on City Council approval of the project.
In his note to the commission, Mortillaro noted that "the project will impact the use of Commercial Street" as a whole, not just the area around the hotel overlay zone approved by the City Council in June for the former Birdseye property at 47-61 Commercial. The overlay zone essentially covers but does not supplant the marine industrial zoning designation that has been on place for years, and covers most of the historic Fort enclave.
"The entire length and width of Commercial Street is protected under the state Designated Port Area regulations for the transportation of marine fishery product and related commerce," Mortillaro's letter notes, "(and) infrastructure upgrades and construction could result in the existing marine industrial businesses being severely compromised."
In addition to Mortillaro's, adjacent marine industrial businesses include Ocean Crest Seafood, Neptune's Harvest, Intershell, and Cape Pond Ice.
"It is only necessary," Mortillaro wrote, "to protect the existing marine industrial businesses located on the opposite side of Commercial Street (and) ensure their daily operations are not disrupted and are given priority consideration during this period of transition."

PINE ISLAND, Minn. (KTTC) -- Cyril "Cy" Kubista began drag racing in the late 1950's. Nowadays, Kubista can be seen driving around Pine Island in his Ford Flex -- a far cry from the set of wheels he used to drive when he began his racing career in 1957.
"You didn't have that much rubber to the ground," said Kubista. "The wider the slick, the softer the compound, the better you could get a hold of the ground to come out of the hole."
Kubista competed at the National Hot Rod Association race in 1959. The same year he set a record at Minnesota Drag Ways for breaking 111-miles-per-hour.
"It's a heck of a feeling especially when you beat 'em," Kubista said.
Kubista knows the feeling well. He competed in hundreds of races from 1957 to 1964, racking up trophies along the way. His 1940 Model-T Ford was his pride and joy. He built it from scratch and it set him back $8,000. But it was worth it - it won him the ISCA National Championship in 1968.
"There were very few cars that had a lot of money to spend on...back then everybody was running on a shoestrings," said Kubista.
Eventually, Kubista traded in his racing gear to teach auto-mechanics at the Department of Corrections, but he never shied away from sharing his stories of the cars he drove and the people he met.
"That's what I value, more than anything," said Kubista. "I met a lot of good people."
Kubista is so well known in the local hot-rod community that this year the Rod Benders Car Club named an award after him. The Cy Kubista Award will be presented to an accomplished driver at each Marigold Days Car Show.

Safeway's two new recycling center closures add to impacts on small businesses and the poor
In the newest of the city's recycle-pocalypse saga, two Safeway recycling centers are shuttering their services, further narrowing the places in San Francisco where consumers can get their can and bottle deposits back from the government.
The Japantown Safeway on Geary Boulevard already evicted its team of recyclers, and the Safeway at Church and Market streets will soon follow suit.
Early media reports suggested the services would soon be replaced by reverse vending machines, but Safeway spokesperson Wendy Gutshall told the Guardian it's still exploring all of its options.
"In San Francisco, it is easy to recycle with curbside recycling," she told us. "The vending machines are a relatively new option and we have been testing them in other locations."
Safeway has two options for those locations, in lieu of a recycling center: Pay a state-mandated fee to offset a lack of recycling, or to use the reverse vending machines.
The vending machines are a growing problem for San Francisco consumers, advocates say, because they process only one can or bottle at a time, making it nearly impossible for consumers who bring bags full of recyclables to process their buyback in a timely manner.
Ed Dunn, the executive director of the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council, which formerly oversaw the recycling center at Kezar Gardens in Golden Gate Park, thinks this is a trend that may not stop.
"This wave of closures will trigger (more closures) in in-store recycling across the northern half of the City," he said. And the numbers back that up. There were 30 recycling centers in San Francisco as recently as 1990, and the state agency Cal Recycle shows there are now only 20 — an unspecified number of which are recycling vending machines.
Cal Recycle said only two of them are vending machines, but a visit to some of the sites revealed there are more than two, and that there may be a discrepancy in its data.
Safeway's option of just paying the fee is a growing trend, Cal Recycle said. As recycling centers in San Francisco go the way of the dodo, consumers and small businesses feel the pinch. The lack of recycling centers triggers state laws requiring local businesses to pay fees of up to $100 a day if they don't provide buyback when a nearby recycling center closes.
Supermarkets who make more than $2 million annually, like the two aforementioned Safeways, serve as "convenience zones," mandated by California law. Those zones cover a half-mile radius around a supermarket that are convenient places for consumers to bring their recyclables to get back their five or ten cents per can or bottle.
But when large supermarkets like Safeway apply for exemptions with the state at a cost of $100 a day, or $36,000 a year, the burden of recycling falls onto each one of the businesses in a half mile radius around those supermarkets.
That liquor store on the corner? They have to pay people for their bags of recycling, or pay the same fees as the Safeway. Many businesses can't afford either option, said Regina Dick-Endrizzi, the director of city's Office of Small Business. That, and they don't have the space available to put the reverse vending machines as an "out."
"When you're a transit-first city, it's harder. This law was really written for suburbia," she told the Guardian. "We're getting denser."
San Francisco's density means Safeway's decision can affect many local businesses. If a convenience zone in Santa Rosa closed, for instance, maybe five businesses would be affected — and they'd have plenty of space in a parking lot to deal with recycling.
But when the Haight Ashbury recycling center closed down, more than 50 businesses were affected.
They are not fine for the homeless people with their shopping carts full of cans and bottles. And that's a good thing given all the crime and squalor they bring with them.
I know what you mean, it is not quite simple, but I will do it like you said!
I know what you mean, I have the same opinion!
This is a good strategy, we should apply it!
Why not? I will apply the same strategy for sure for my needs!
A great excuse to get together with friends and have a good rest! After all, we have one life!

Beanie Wells: 'Excited' to be back after long absence
After a seven-game absence from the field, Wells will be back in action Sunday against the St. Louis Rams. It couldn't have come sooner.
The Cardinals haven't won in nearly two months and have a lot of youth and inexperience starting on offense.
"Any time, whether you win or lose, it's hard watching from the sidelines," Wells said. "You feel bad. I'm no different. I felt like I could have helped out."
Coming into Week 12, the Cardinals rank No. 30 in the league in rushing offense (82.3 yards per game).
So, Wells should give the running back core an instant boost.
"It feels good and I'm excited about [my return]," said Wells. "It's been a long seven, eight weeks and I'm ready to go out there and play football.
Wells' return comes as part of a new league rule implemented before the 2012-2013 season. Each team is now allowed to put one player on the IR/designated to return list with an opportunity to active that player eight or more weeks later.
Following Wells' injury against the Eagles, second-year back Ryan Williams went down with a season-ending shoulder injury two weeks later in a loss to St. Louis.
While LaRod Stephens-Howling (coming off a career-high 127 yards rush) and William Powell have been admirable substitutes, it's no small task trying to replace a 1,000-yard rusher like Wells.
He's back now, though, and ready to fill the void left from his absence, especially in short-yardage.
"That's one of the places we've struggled in over the past few weeks," said Wells of the team's inability to capitalize on short-yardage situations. "I certainly feel like one of the pieces to that puzzle to help us get going."
If there's anything that can help Wells shake off the rust early Sunday, it might just be his recent history against the Rams.
On Thanksgiving Weekend last season, the former first-round pick out of Ohio State ran for a career-high 228 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 road win over St. Louis.
Before his injury, Wells had 29 carries for 76 yards.

So I'm looking for a new multi-sport softshell and due to price and sizing am going to go with Marmot. But I've gone back and forth between the Rom, Up track and Super Gravity. I'll be using mostly for ice and snow climbs. Typically I wear the R1 hoody underneath. I'm thinking that the super gravity might be a bit heavier than I'm looking for since I'll be rocking a base layer anyways. Anything thoughts and opinions? I also can't seem to find much info on the uptrack and it seems to possibly be a mix between the other two.
If you're shaped like a pear and don't wear a helmet you're gonna love Marmot.
Disagree with Ray.. I have the Kingpin and dig it.
I use the classic capiline 1 / R1 Hoody / Soft-Shell system for most of my winter alpine adventures here in dry Colorado (occasionally substituting the soft shell for a light hard shell, and employing a light R2 vest over the R1 Hoody on really cold days). I've found the ROM Jacket to be an excellent soft shell on the lighter side of things with plenty of stretch - and very breathable (I love the Gore Windstopper side panels). I've also used the Marmot Zion jacket (waterproof neoshell) and it is a remarkable jacket on the other, heavier end of the spectrum. Also, consider the Pro Tour Jacket - the Pro Tour jacket and pants are a great combo - a little heavier (no side panels) than the ROM with great stretch and streamlined fit.
patagonias knifeblade seems like it would fit your bill if you can find it on sale. Arms have extra legnth so they dont ride up when ice climbing. also works well on someone who is kinda pear shaped. patagonia doesnt fit everyone great though.
I'm 6'4", with a positive index, and weight about 165 soaking wet. Definitely not a pear. Marmot jackets in medium fit me perfectly. Be careful with the ROM, the side panels are far more on the soft side of soft shells, very much an active shell.
The Marmot Kingpin has a nice athletic fit. It fits under a harness quite well and is long enough that it doesn't ride up. Also the arms have nice motion and don't ride up when reaching overhead. The hood has plenty of room for helmets. I did compare the Kingpin to other Marmot jackets and it is more athletic.
their 50% off sale should be soon though.
I climb in the Marmot Tempo Hoody and love it. It's cheap ($135 retail easy to find on sale for <$90). It has a helmet compatible hood, harness friendly pockets and super long sleeves that never result in exposed wrists. I was trying to decide between this one and the Uptrack and I just couldn't tell the difference except the price. The ROM breathes about as well as a plastic bag and does not accommodate helmets. It's not bombproof, in fact it's a rather thin jacket, but I've worn it (with R1 Hoody) on pretty cold and windy days (high in the low teens) without ever getting cold or feeling the wind. It also breathes incredibly well and I find my self wearing it for the majority of the approach. Get this jacket, you'll love it. $90 at 6pm $90 at Altrec
Methinks that with an R1 hood under your helmet, having a shell hood over the helmet is generally not super important with a snug collar. But I'm super warm natured and find over-the helmet hoods too stifling to offset the protection they offer.
I have the Tempo Hoody and would second the recommendation. Light and breathable for sure, and I agree with the other pluses mentioned. I have the Elementalist as well and also like it for much colder days, but it is easy to get a sweat going in that one.

Interesting. I didn't know that your normal lchf was so low. I would have thought higher, since you are tall.
As long as you MADE it To the bathroom, all's good!

the lchf after a fast should keep you close to the bathroom as well, forewarned is forearmed.
calories I started lowering my calories for lchf when I lowered protein. Unfortunately, that resulted in weightloss. Which may prove CICO is true for me. I do not do this as a sustained program. There are always higher cal days that happen in lchf. I will also have some higher cal days later in the month when I add carbs to try and survive my period.
While I think that CICO is technically true, I think the devil is in the details...ie. not being able to actually know how the body uses calories, the body adjusting to the lower calories, the body craving food to offset the lower calories, the body craving food to offset lower nutrients, etc.
I think that in the end it is about getting a program that will allow you to comfortably lower your calories with out the body sending you into a binging frenzy. I still personally believe that the binge is the body's way of fulfilling a need (which is sometimes emotional and sometimes physical)
thanks, but it comes from 40+ years of N=1
Stayed home fro school. My ear pain turned out to be an infection. I am on amoxicillin for 10 days.
To top it off, a slight groin pull I had been suffering all week turned into a full blown injury. I can't walk. I am going to the DR or ER today for anti inflammatory meds.
Wt. 217.5 Though it doesn't matter because I ate a 1/4 of a gallon of ice cream at 5 am. Tired, in pain and can't eat real food. I am very upset.
oh no!!! I hope the groin injury isn't real serious and you can get relief soon. So sorry you are sick with an ear infection. Take care of you and feel better.

Evansville Police have made 14 arrests during an on-going investigation into multiple east side burglaries.
EPD says the arrests were made possible by residents who were looking out for their neighbors and alerting police to suspicious activity.
Investigators used crime scene evidence and interviews with victims, witnesses, and suspects to solve many of the cases.
EPD says they have charged four of the individuals in connection with the burglaries.
The other arrests were on individuals who were suspected of being involved in the burglaries, but did not have enough evidence to support a burglary charge.
EPD says their charges ranged from meth possession, felony warrants, domestic violence warrants, and thefts from vehicles, to possession of a machine gun.
Police say they have not received reports of burglaries connected with this investigation in the weeks since the arrests were made.
Those facing burglary charges are:
Investigators from the Vanderburgh County and Warrick County Sheriff's Offices have also been involved in the investigation to see if any of the suspects were involved in burglaries in their jurisdictions.

Am I the only one tired of casual fans or "new" fans trying to pump up this Mayweather/Martinez fight? Fuck it, let it go, more than likely it wont happen. People are crying about Floyd moving up to 160 to fight Sergio, or Sergio coming down to 154...here's what will happen:
1. Floyd will possibly lose because of the weight (160) and other nuances that comes with it.
2. Sergio will come down to 154 and possibly hurt himself doing so (weight drained)
3. We've have a bunch of inbred trolls all over the net, arguing points #1 and #2
Dammit man, Sergio JUST fought 2 weeks ago, his knee or whatever the fuck it is, is jacked up, and his hand looks like shit. I haven't been reading around, but I've been hearing about him calling out Floyd. Not sure if these new bed-wetters out here are digging up old interviews of Sergio begging, or Sergio really wants another payday, regardless of his injuries.
Who in hell knows what Floyd is thinking about at the moment, either he's not thinking about boxing, or he's waiting for somebody to put on a big performance, to announce a comeback. Typical Floyd. Anyhow, Im tired of this retarded stuff, Floyd has only been out of jail for a little over a month, and Sergio is only 2 weeks removed from a fight that taxed his body in ways that he may not have wanted.
Maybe I'm just pissed up and tired of reading BS. Lol

The subject of this thread alone, has taken 3 or 4 different turns, no problem there. I was the one that made the "stupid" statement about believing what Arum said about Floyd only fighting when he's going broke. If you can read, then you'll know that I said it, so no need to say that "somebody" said it.
In the future I will make sure to point you out when making stupid statements...LMAO

Top retired general says, "USA can forget about winning the war in Iraq."
Original post made by It's Over on Jun 3, 2007
Web Link
Most Americans cannot imagine the nightmare they have unleashed with their arrogant negligence and will forever reap the sour rewards. Not only will their be no "winning" in Iraq, USA could triple its effort, money, and soldiers and still will not reach the starting line, much less finish the race.
The Untied States of Liars and Thieves is broken, the coffers are empty.
Our 'leaders' (heh) have erased any last trace of USA credibility in the world while we tuned in to watch American Idol.
It's all over but the shouting.
Its a befitting end.

I think you are completely right and I totally agree with you and Sanchez.
But just you wait. The local loyal fans of Bush will find something to denigrate you and general Sanchez... you'll soon be branded something between a defeatist, a "liberal" (horror!!), and a traitor.
Take care.
on Jun 3, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Oh, you can rest assured that the right wing venom machine is already working full time on turning general Sanchez into a traitor, coward and wimp. Remember, John Kerry was a weakling for spending two tours of duty as a decorated swift boat officer, and a traitor for protesting the war after his discharge while Bush was the intrepid hero for evading Vietnam and deserting from his Alabama Guard duty. Every single decorated general speaking against the war has been turned by the right wing venom machine into a fan of jihadist terrorism, a traitor and an anti-American cut-and-run coward.
on Jun 3, 2007 at 8:11 pm
Everyone knows that Iraq was handed over to State, and an ineffectual State at that, too soon. Sanchez was sandbagged for Abu Ghraib even though it was strictly a media event that should have been handled with one Court Martial, 5 company punishments and a letter in a company commander's jacket. Bush could have scotched the fuss but he didn't. Sanchez did good, and his criticism was on.
Some people think flying Continental Air Defense on a Delta Dagger hardly is shirking. Some people consider National Guard service to be draft dodging. Some people have so much hate that they can not see straight. Pity.

From NBA.com staff reports
News of Derrick Rose being out for the season following successful surgery to repair the medial meniscus in his right knee was met with nearly equal parts well wishes for Rose specifically and keep-your-chin-up thoughts for the Bulls at large. Here is a smattering of some of what notable NBA players, ex-players, media types and more had to say about Rose's injury:
Russell Westbrook called Derrick Rose shortly after his injury. "He's good," he said. "He's in good spirits. So he should be all right."—

Well, now that the so called "Superfight" is off the table and Pac and Arum rejected a 40 million dollar payday I often wonder how/what style/manner would Floyd have chosen to box/fight Manny?
We all know that Manny only knows one way to fight, he will come forward and dart in and out-never changing tempo, never counterpunching, setting traps or timing/measuring his opponent>>>contrary to what many of his fans believe>>>he was never a Boxer in the classic sense.
Floyd is the consummate Boxer, he uses his defense to create offense (except when someone tags him, then he goes on the attack) but he does all the things you'd love to see a true Master Boxer should: he uses the ring to circle his opponents with his legs or even stands in the pocket and circles, he sets traps, shoulder rolls, uses the caging method when on the ropes, rolls with the punches when they connect, ducks/dodges, slips, punches at angles, curls his gloves to catch punches, counterpunches and then spins out on the exit, jabs to the stomach and then feints a jab to the stomach and comes back to the head. I guess I could go on and on but we've all seen it everytime he fights.
The question is which style/manner would he had used in your opinion to fight Manny, here's my take:
Floyd is a defensive fighter first, he never takes punishment unnecessarily unless he's trying to entertain the crowd (see the Augustus and Cotto fights for reference) so given that we know his true nature that's what I believe he would've stuck to. Floyd is a notoriously slow starter (unless you crack him good and make him fight, see Mosley fight for reference), so given that we know this much about him it is likely that he would've taken about 4-5 rounds and figured out Manny's speed, angles and took away his right hook then the whuppin would commence.
I believe that he would've elected after the 4th or 5th to simply stand in the pocket and make Manny miss and then counter him all night, I don't believe he ever would've came forward because he knows that Manny will only go forward plus he'd have many more opportunities to counterpunch/potshot/pick him apart as he darted in and out.

He would fight Manny defensively at the start, counter punching and using his size (height and reach) advantage then towards the end of the fight i would think he'd start to bully Manny while still countering but more aggressively almost how Broner fights.
I don't think we would see him fight the way he fought Cotto (staying in the pocket, not trying to get off the ropes/out the corners) simply because he knows Manny is great at fighting people who do that.
If this fight would've happened it would have been a late stoppage and Floyd would be the victor relatively easily

"Aspis" (/ˈæspɨs/; Ancient Greek: ἀσπίς) is the generic term for the word shield. The aspis carried by Greek infantry (hoplites) of various periods is often referred to as a hoplon (Ancient Greek: ὅπλον).
According to Diodorus Siculus:[1]
... and the infantry who had formerly been called "hoplites" because of their heavy shield (hoplon), then had their name changed to "peltasts" from the pelta they carried.—Diodorus Siculus. The Library, 15.44.3.[2]
A hoplon shield was a deeply dished shield made of wood. Some shields had a thin sheet of bronze on the outer face, often just around the rim. In some periods, the convention was to decorate the aspis; in others, it was usually left plain. Probably the most famous aspis decoration is that of Sparta: a capital lambda (Λ) from Lacedaemon. From the late 5th century BC, Athenian hoplites commonly used the Little Owl, while the shields of Theban hoplites were sometimes decorated with a sphinx, or the club of Heracles.

Ah, youth. Ready to take on the world, today's generation of dynamic, tech-immersed youngsters have grown up alongside the Internet. Firsthand, and sometimes single-handedly, they have advanced some of today's hottest technology trends, from peer-to-peer networking, to massively multiplayer online games, to social networks and instant messaging. And along the way, a small, sociopathic number of them have behaved very, very badly.
[ For further tales of bone-headed cyberschnookery, see the original "Stupid hacker tricks" story ]
Even the very definition of poor online behavior has been advanced by these cyberschnooks. Armed with broadband and lots of unsupervised free time in front of the computer, shielded by the relative anonymity of the Web, they've managed to transform themselves from Those Neighborhood Kids Who Set Fires and Torture Small Animals into international menaces who destroy online communities, damage the reputation and utility of online services, and steal anything worth taking from the Net -- all while mangling the English language as thoroughly as possible.
Fortunately for the rest of us, while using the Net's multiplier effect to their nefarious benefit, most are as sloppy and egotistical as we've come to expect from the young and delinquent, leaving a bread-crumb trail a mile wide for authorities to follow. And when they cross the line, as many of these tech-savvy Nelson Muntzes eventually do, it's with more than a little schadenfreude that white-hat vigilantes posse up to take them down.
It is to these ne'er-do-wells that this latest installment of "Stupid hacker tricks" is dedicated. Call it Portrait of the Stupid Hacker as a Young Man.

Irish police watchdog to review Roma children cases
Ireland's police watchdog will review the cases of two Roma families having children removed from their homes amid claims they could not prove their identity.
Two reports have been ordered on the controversial action by gardai and health officials after a seven-year-old girl was taken from her home for 48 hours and a two year-old boy from his home overnight.
Both children were subsequently proven to be members of the families with the girl returned home after DNA tests.
The police watchdog, the Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission, said it has not received any complaints but has demanded copies of a report by the Commissioner Martin Callinan.
"We have requested this in order to inform ourselves fully of the circumstances of events so that we can take an appropriate position," a spokesman for the Ombudsman said.

He's been on the run for more than 10 years, but a doctor from St. Petersburg has finally been tracked down in Morocco.
He is accused of child molestation. His name is Rory Patrick Doyle, 58, and he was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Casablanca.
In July of 2000, Doyle was arrested by the St Petersburg and Treasure Island police departments on allegations of child molestation between 1994 and 2000.
While awaiting trial on these charges, Doyle fled the United States to avoid prosecution, authorities say. He went to Ireland and changed his name to David West.
When Irish police tracked him down a few years ago, he took off to Morocco. Interpol tracked him down last year at an apartment in Tangier.
Doyle is back in a Pinellas County jail awaiting prosecution.

Garden facelift boost for canal embankment in Burnley
9:00pm Thursday 22nd November 2012 in News
A STRETCH of canal embankment in Burnley which previously housed a rope factory, has been transformed into an £85,000 community garden.
The Ropewalk Community Garden on Burnley embankment, which opened on Sat-urday, has been designed as a place for residents and visitors to slow down, relax and enjoy the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
The area has been transformed with boundary walls repaired and a disabled access ramp, new steps built and picnic tables and benches bought so people can take in the views. Bespoke railings and de-corative planting have been put in place to try and make space more attractive for visitors.
Work to create the garden was carried out by local residents Veolia volunteers and Canal & River Trust staff who carried out tidy-ups and planting workshops.
£85,000 of funding for the garden was raised through grants from BIG Lottery Community Spaces, The Veolia Environmental Trust through the Landfill Comm-unities Fund and Lancashire County Council. Burnley embankment, also known locally as 'the Straight Mile', widely regarded as one of the 'seven wonders' of the British Waterway System.
The embankment carries The Leeds and Liverpool Canal 60ft above the town and is still regarded as an innovative solution.
The Ropewalk garden is next to the Canalside Comm-unity Centre on Lindsay Street, and will be tended by volunteers from the centre and Burnley Borough Council.
Brenda Rochester from Canalside Community Ass-ociation said: "Burnley Embankment is one of the iconic sights of the British canals and brought the Industrial Revolution to Burnley.
"The Ropewalk Comm-unity Garden has transformed an underused stretch of grassland into a great space for locals to enjoy, as well as benefitting passing boaters and walkers who want to stop for a picnic lunch."

MP Maria Miller hits back over home expenses (From Basingstoke Gazette)

Basingstoke MP defends record after Daily Telegraph story
12:40pm Wednesday 12th December 2012 in News By Adam Richards
BASINGSTOKE MP Maria Miller has hit back at what she says are "misleading and inaccurate statements" after a national newspaper reported she claimed £90,718 in expenses for a second home where her parents live.
On Tuesday, The Daily Telegraph detailed the Culture Secretary's expenses claims made between 2005 and 2009 for her home in Wimbledon, south London.
The article claimed that having her parents living there had put her "at odds with parliamentary rules". It said the Parliamentary Standards Commissioner had ruled that second homes must be used "exclusively" by MPs in fulfilling their parliamentary duty, and housing a politician's parents was "specifically prohibited".
The story revealed that during the relevant time between 2005 and 2009, Mrs Miller said the Wimbledon property was her second home and she claimed expenses on mortgage interest payments, utilities, and council tax.
In response, the mother-of-three has said her parents lived with her, her husband, and their children before she was elected in 2005, and she added that both need care for medical matters, which is recognised by the current parliamentary rules.
In a statement to The Gazette, she said: "For a considerable time before I entered politics, my parents have lived with me, my husband and our children as part of our family. I have always been open about these arrangements.
"Prior to my election as an MP, my father's health deteriorated, and shortly after I was elected in 2005, my mother suffered a severe stroke that has left her permanently incapacitated.
"Since 2005, my parents have continued to live as part of our family and I have ensured that they receive the support and care that they need.
"After I was first elected as an MP, I explained my family circumstances to the House of Commons fees office. They advised that I should designate my Basingstoke address as my main home as this is where I spent most time as a backbencher.
"The cost of maintaining each home was more than I claimed in relation to expenses. There was no financial advantage as to which home was designated."
"The current IPSA rules ensure that MPs with caring responsibilities are recognised within the expenses system, including those with responsibilities for disabled and elderly family members."
Mrs Miller, who has been at the heart of the debate over Press standards following the publication of the Leveson Report, has criticised The Daily Telegraph for speaking to her elderly father when they knew she was not at home. She said: "My father is ill-equipped to deal with such enquiries, and indeed the editor has apologised."
Mrs Miller concluded her statement by saying: "It is deeply regrettable that The Telegraph considers that it is right to run this story, despite the fact that I have given them the information as to the true picture.
"My personal circumstances, as a mother with caring responsibilities for elderly and disabled parents, does not fit into the traditional stereotype of an MP.
"Newspapers should be supporting MPs who take their family responsibilities seriously, thereby encouraging more diverse representation in Parliament."
Hours after the original story emerged, Labour MP John Mann urged John Lyon, the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to investigate the claims. The Bassetlaw MP said Mrs Miller's arrangement was ''identical'' to that of former Labour minister Tony McNulty, who in 2009 was required to pay back more than £13,000 in expenses claimed on a second home occupied by his parents.
However following her criticism of the broadsheet, a front-page follow-up article today said that Mrs Miller's special advisor warned Telegraph reporters of her connection with the debate over potential press regulation. The paper said it published the private conversation as a warning "amid widespread concern about the potential dangers of politicians being given a role in overseeing the regulation of the press".
Mrs Miller made her last claim relating to the London property in April 2009. Since 2011, she has declared it as her main home, which means she cannot claim expenses for it.

Bottom line - her party is preaching austerity to us, and does not seem to consider the legality when lambasting the tax arrangements of certain public figures and companies, so why should we listen to her 'it was all legal' excuse?
If morals are good enough for Jimmy Carr, Starbucks, Google et al. they should be good enough for her and she should get her nose out of the trough and resign.

It is a shame that people here on this site are prepared to judge without knowing the full facts. It is also very sad that the press (not the Gazette) have chosen to intrude into Maria's family and subject her family to the questioning. Maria is rightly private about her family – she entered politics not her parents or children.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- If you saw a man hitting a woman, would you get involved? One Pasco woman did, and she says she lost her job over it.
"She just looked so scared. I wasn't going to have it on my conscience if I read in the newspaper the next day that they found her body somewhere," said 24 year old Jessica Haines who used to work at the Lucky Bridge Casino in Pasco.
Thursday night, after being off the clock and out of her uniform, Haines said she had a drink at the bar when she noticed a man treating a woman very poorly. Haines said she then went outside and saw him strike her twice in the face and drive away.
"And she just looked out the window, and I've never seen anybody look so scared in my life, so I called the cops....and I would do it again and again, because its what I was supposed to do," she recalls.
Haines jotted down the license plate number and immediately called Kennewick Police. On Sunday, after she came into work, Haines says she was called into the manager's office and fired.
"He told me that I don't have a right to call the police. And I was like, not only do I have the right to call the police, but I have an obligation..responsibility to call the police. And he was like, well you're fired, they're letting you go," she said.
NBC Right Now contacted casino manager Pond Muony who signed Haines' termination papers. Muony said management didn't know about the fight until after the police were called and she failed to follow procedure. He said she should have notified management and security first. Muony also said there have been previous incidents with Haines not following procedures, like cutting customers off from drinking without checking with them first.
NBC Right Now asked employment law attorney Brian Davis of Leavy, Shultz, Davis & Fearing P.S. of Kennewick to look into what rights Haines has. Davis says the law typically favors the employer in Washington state.
"Because we live in an "At Will Employment State" An employer can fire an employee for whatever reason as long as its not an illegal reason like age discrimination, race discrimination," Davis said. However in this case, he says Jessica may have a case.
"In this case, the law would want to protect the policy of citizens protecting other citizens by coming to their aid or calling the police. And so if a person was terminated for one of these reasons, they may have a case for wrongful termination for violating public policy," said Davis.
NBC Right Now also contacted Kennewick Police, who say they never did find that couple or what happened to the woman. Haines says she is interested in filing a law suit, but cannot afford a lawyer. NBC Right Now put her in touch with Davis.

I haven't taken a poll, but I suspect that we harbor a couple of misconceptions about suicides and baseball.
The first is that the phenomenon is fairly modern. The second is that baseball suicides have been fairly rare.
Neither is the case.
Mike Flanagan shot himself to death two weeks ago. Earlier this year, Hideki Irabu hung himself. Both suicides made the headlines. But last year, 56-year-old Keith Drumright's suicide didn't make the headlines because Drumright, a second baseman out of Springfield, Missouri, played just briefly with the Astros in 1978 and the Athletics in 1981. Two years ago, two ex-major leaguers died by their own hands: Craig Stimac and Brian Powell.
Rare? Hardly.
According to Baseball Almanac, Flanagan is the 85th major leaguer or ex-major leaguer to commit suicide. Of course the actual figure is higher, as it doesn't include those men who wittingly killed themselves with drink or drugs.
Below, a few of baseball's more notable suicides. A word of warning: These tales are generally not suited for the squeamish. And if you come here solely for baseball news, now's a good time to hit the back button ...
Baseball's most shocking and tragic suicide happened in 1900, shortly into the new century. Marty Bergen was widely considered baseball's premier defensive catcher, and played a key role in the Boston Braves' National League pennants in 1897 and '98. But Bergen had real problems off the field, and after the 1899 season the Braves were trying to trade Bergen. That January, Bergen's father arrived at the house one morning and discovered a gruesome scene. As Sporting Life reported,
Martin Bergen's body and that of the little girl, Florence, 6-1/2 years old, were lying on the kitchen floor, while in the adjoining bedroom, were the bodies of Mrs. Bergen and her 3-year-old son Joseph. Mrs. Bergen was lying on the bed with her feet over the side, while her hands were raised as though in supplication or trying to ward off a blow. The little boy was lying on the floor with his brain oozing from a large wound in the head. Mrs. Bergen's skull was terribly crushed, having evidently been struck more than one blow by the infuriated husband. The appearance of the little girl showed that a number of blows had been scored upon the top and side of her head.
Bergen, by all accounts a devoted family man, had murdered his wife and children with an axe, then slit his throat from ear to ear with a razor.
During spring training in 1907, Boston Americans first baseman and acting manager Chick Stahl -- who'd resigned as manager just a few days earlier -- swallowed carbolic acid and died 15 minutes later, with roommate Jimmy Collins by his side. Stahl's motivation has long inspired speculation, but the best evidence suggests that he had suffered from clinical depression for many years. (In this biographical article, Dennis Auger sifts through the various theories.)
The great majority of suicidal players were ex-players; the great majority of the rest killed themselves in the off-season. Which is what made Willard Hershberger's demise so shocking. With his 1940 Cincinnati Reds in the middle of a pennant race (which they would ultimately win), Hershberger -- an outstanding backup catcher -- skipped a road doubleheader against the last-place Boston Bees. Instead of going to the ballpark with his teammates, Hershberger remained alone in his hotel room, and -- after spreading towels around the bathroom floor to avoid making too awful a mess, Hershberger used a razor to slice his jugular vein and bled to death. Twelve years earlier, Hershberger's father had committed suicide with a shotgun. (The best thing written about Hershberger is William Nack's article in Sports Illustrated, 20 years ago.)
Jake Powell, an outfielder with the Yankees in the 1930s, is today most famous (or infamous, if you prefer) for making a particularly ugly, bigoted statement during a radio interview in 1938. As insensitive as Major League Baseball might have been in those days when it came to such things, Powell was suspended for 10 days by Commissioner Landis. Roughly 10 years later, Powell, his baseball career over, was arrested in Washington, D.C. for passing bad checks. While in the police station, Powell drew a gun and shot himself.
Perhaps Don Wilson's death shouldn't be classified as a suicide. But shortly after a 1974 season in which the one-time power pitcher and author of two no-hitters, by now reliant on off-speed stuff, went 11-13 for the Astros, Wilson was found in his garage, dead of carbon monoxide poisoning after leaving his car engine running. Was it an accident? That was the official verdict. Most tragically, his wife, son and daughter were inside the house, and the carbon monoxide got to them, too. Wilson's son died.
In the 1986 American League Championship Series, Angels reliever Donnie Moore gave up a big home run to Boston's Dave Henderson. Less than three years later, Moore was dead. Beset by a bone spur near his spine, he'd pitched briefly but effectively in 1987. Following a five-hour surgery, he'd pitched briefly and ineffectively in 1988.
In 1989, Moore pitched for the Royals' triple-A farm club -- really ineffectively -- until June, when the Royals released him. Moore's wife left him. She had to. As Mike Sowell writes in One Pitch Away (the best source for Moore's story),
Tonya knew that once Donnie was out of baseball, he would take it out on her. She knew her life would be miserable. Donnie would be drinking more and trying to kick her ass more. So she moved out. After sixteen years of marriage, she got her own apartment nearby. She still did the family laundry, but she and Donnie were separated.
Tonya knew that if she stayed, sooner or later Donnie would end up hurting her. It was bound to happen someday. That was why she left. Tonya still loved Donnie. But she didn't want to be hit anymore.
That winter, Moore, his wife, and their three children -- 17-year-old Dee, 10-year-old Donnie Jr. and eight-year-old Ronnie -- were at their house, which was on the market. Moore picked up his .45-caliber handgun and shot his wife in the neck. She ran. He followed, and shot her twice more. Tonya finally escaped, with her daughter driving her to the hospital (she survived). Meanwhile, back at the house, Moore used the last bullet in the gun -- which had been a gift from his wife, just a few months earlier -- to shoot himself, with his sons still in the house.
For some years after his death, perhaps even today, Tonya Moore would visit Donnie's grave and ask him a simple question. Why?
Why, indeed? If there's a running thread through all these stories, it's that there were warning signs. Usually big red warning signs, outlined in bright neon colors. Which isn't to suggest that anybody could have seen Mike Flanagan's end coming. I don't have any idea. But after the fact, there have been a number of statements suggesting that Flanagan had been suffering from depression since being fired from his front-office job with the Orioles. And it shouldn't be surprising if we eventually discover that Flanagan had been clinically depressed, and perhaps even considered suicide.
These things are usually surprising, but only in their sudden finality.

Andrea Martin
It was Andrea Martin's friend, Hairspray Tony winner Scott Wittman, who serves as the creative consultant for the theatre-district nightspot 54 Below, who asked whether the Tony-winning actress would like to appear at Manhattan's newest cabaret.
"I said, 'Why the hell not? Before I die, I want to do cabaret! It's on my bucket list!'" Martin told me by phone from Toronto last week.
Although she has played small theatres, the artist, one of, if not the, greatest comedic actresses of her generation joked, "I don't think I've ever played any place with a two-drink minimum!"
A Tony winner for her hilarious performance in My Favorite Year, Martin will play 54 Below June 20-23, where she will be accompanied by musician-actor-Playbill.com columnist Seth Rudetsky.
About putting together her one-woman shows, Martin said with a laugh, "I work with as many people as I possibly can that I don't have to pay… but I will give them credit! Peter Flynn has been instrumental in helping me. He's not with this cabaret venue, but he's certainly been instrumental in helping me in the last couple of years when I've been doing a show with Seth. I've been [doing] a little tour, and he helped me put that together. That was two years ago, so I love him for that. And, Seth, of course… Can you beat Seth Rudetsky? The King of Broadway. Of course you know at Playbill! So, he's my musical director, and we certainly collaborate, and if a joke doesn't work in the middle of the show, he'll throw one out, and we'll try that. Very loose. Very fun.
"Well, it just doesn't get better," Martin continued. "[Seth] has an encyclopedic knowledge of Broadway and songs, and so if I want to try something new, we'll try it. He's so relaxed on stage and has just a crazy attitude of 'We're just there to have fun. Just interact with the audience.' For him, it's like one big conversation, really, with an audience. So I love that. He's a great person to have with me on stage."Continued...

Langford named 2013 Times-News Wrestler of the Year
Fri. April 05, 2013 at 11:49 p.m. | By Brittany Jackson

It's not for the purpose of bragging rights but sometimes when an athlete's raw talent is just heads above the rest, coaches have to get creative in their means of boosting them to success when the typical methods lose their effectiveness.
And sometimes that means getting right on their level. When it comes to North Henderson sophomore wrestling standout and 2013 Times-News Wrestler of the Year Mitchel Langford, North wrestling coach Heang Uy would know.
"It's a lot of fun to coach him just because he's such a great kid to be around and he works really hard and wants to get better; he doesn't feel like he's special out there," Uy said. "But it's also challenging because at his level there's a whole skill set that's beyond what a lot of kids in the practice room are able to do to help him. We've got to find ways to challenge him.
So, he does what any in-shape coach would do.
"I'll get in there and wrestle with him a lot," said Uy, a former wrestling standout himself. "He's a kid that hurts me all the time. After we get done wrestling; I'm like, 'Ouch, how did you do that?' "
In completing his second season as a Knight, Langford also pinned his way to his second straight 2-A state title at 106 pounds. His wins in the state tournament were three pins (48 seconds, 1:37 and 28 seconds) and one 18-2 tech fall.
He has already set program records at North as he finished his sophomore season undefeated — undefeated as in, 52-0. The record he set was for pins in a single season, with 41. His other 10 matches? They consisted of one tech fall, one major decision, one decision, one default and seven forfeits.
He set another record at the close of his freshman season: Wins in a single season, with 54.
Langford also defeated two state champions during the regular season, in North Carolina's 1-A division as well as Tennessee's Division I.
"He really has surpassed our expectations of him," Uy said. "We knew he'd be a great wrestler but some of the things he's able to do are just like, 'Wow.'"
Those "wow" factors continue to evolve for Langford. Even after he experienced a swarm of success his freshman season, Uy said Langford's success on the mat matched his success off of it.
"The biggest thing from last year to this year was that he's more willing and wants to take more of a leadership and ownership role in the team. He realizes he's going to be the face of the team so he's taken that on," Uy said. "Even as a sophomore the other kids have a lot of respect for him because he does things the right way and carries himself well."
But none of that positioning himself as the "face of the team" has him feeling entitled as he looks forward to his junior season; rather, it's a responsibility for him especially as his older brother and two-time state champion Colby Langford graduates and heads off to wrestle in college.
"A lot of what makes Mitchel different is his mindset. He has a lot of confidence in his ability and when it's time to wrestle, he doesn't mind just dominating an opponent no matter who it is," Uy said. "It's the neatest thing because he's such a great kid — very caring of his coaches and teammates — but when it's time to wrestle he'll rip your head off."
Langford's opponents scored a total of 13 points on him all season.
"I'm looking forward to having him for two more years just because he's such a talented wrestler and such a great kid to be around," Uy said. "If we could clone his personality and work ethic — not even his wrestling ability — teaching and coaching would be so much more fun because he just wants to please and he does what's asked of him."

First treatment machine delivered to Worcester's new radiotherapy centre
4:57pm Thursday 15th May 2014 in News
Worcestershire Acute Trust chairman Harry Turner, chief executive Penny Venables and lead cancer clinician Adel Makar with the next linac machine
WORCESTERSHIRE'S new state-of-the-art radiotherapy centre is moving closer to completion with the delivery of the first treatment machine.
The linear accelerator - also called a linac - uses electricity to create high-energy radiation that can be used to treat cancer.
It can be used to target tumours more effectively, causing less damage to surrounding tissue with less risk of complications.
By the time the centre opens early next year three machines will have been installed, with space for two more in the future.
The centre will provide radiotherapy treatment for the county's cancer patients, meaning they will no longer face long journeys out of the county for their care.
It is estimated it will save patients around one million miles of travel every year.
The trust's lead cancer clinician Adel Makar said: "This is a huge milestone for Worcestershire's cancer services.
"These machines will make such a difference to patients, who will soon be able to receive this radiation treatment closer to home."
For more on the new radiotherapy centre see the Your Health section of your Worcester News on Monday, May 19.

Mobile-home residents pack school board meeting

I have an idea, that might offer a better solution. It is akin to trading of carbon tax credits and could be called affordable housing credits. Here is how it might work:
1) The city buys the Buena Vista property from the developer at the price he paid the seller. The property stays a mobile home park. The seller is not affected. The developer will be the only unhappy one. I will come back to this later.
2) While I do not know the price at which Buena Vista was sold, lets assume as an example that it might have sold for 27 million dollars. There are 108 units so that works out to a cost to the city of $200,000 per affordable housing unit.
3) Developers are often required to build affordable housing. They could be given a choice to purchase one or more of the 108 affordable housing credits from the city in lieu of building one or more affordable housing units as part of the development. The city would eventually get its money back.
4) The benefit here is that Buena Vista is preserved, its community is preserved, all the Buena Vista residents can remain undisturbed, and the affordable housing count is not reduced even temporarily. This is also a very humane way to go.
What must occur. First, we need to make sure that there is no demolishment or other change that would not allow Buena Vista residents to live there until development plans are fully approved by the city. This is critical. Should demolishment be done, its game over. Second we need to get the developer to sell. Perhaps the 87 year old property can be declared an historical site. Perhaps the developer should be informed that the city is in no mood to approve of any of his development plans, and thus the approval process might take many years - if approved at all.

What it the city found a nice location in Professorville to move the trailer park? That would be a humane solution to the problem and would also accomplish the objective of providing affordable housing.
Of course, such a proposal is far-fetched to the point of being absolutely ridiculous. Folks in Professorville would consider the introduction of a trailer park into their neighborhood as extremely undesirable, and they would never ever stand for it.
If people in Professorville would have this reaction, can you fault people in Barron Park for having mixed feelings about having the trailer park in their neighborhood?
Our family couldn't afford to live in Palo Alto when we bought our first house, so like many people in the same situation, we lived in another town on the Peninsula, saved our money, and moved here after several years. Why should the government mandate affordable housing in Palo Alto in the first place? Is it right to reward "low income" families with a house here while penalizing families who don't meet the "low income" threshold but can't afford to pay market prices?
I'm socially liberal and all for providing help to those who need it. But mandating affordable housing in this way just seems unfair to those non-low-income families who are saving their money the way we did.
on May 8, 2013 at 11:10 am
I think Michael Morganstern's idea could be a viable plan. It certainly is creative and offers a solution to the problem rather than just opposing the demolition of a neighborhood and the construction of up-scale pet grooming, spa and condos.
I attended the PAUSD meeting last evening and was heartened to see over 100 people and hear from children as well as adults.
I lived in the Foothill Green area for many years and my children's classmates included kids from Buena Vista. Those families want what every family wants: good schools and safe neighborhoods for their children.
Palo Alto simply cannot allow these people to be displaced! This is an entire community--a neighborhood.
I urge EVERYONE in Palo Alto to attend up-coming meetings and rallies and to get on Winter Dellenbach's e-mail list. She is the leader of this movement to ensure a just and compassionate solution. Our neighbors at Buena Vista deserve support from each and every one of us!

The Herald-Tribune
BATESVILLE — With less than three weeks to go before the mandatory close of this legislative session, Indiana lawmakers are sending a flurry of bills to the governor for his signature.
Legislation that's already passed out the House and Senate cover a wide gamut of issues, from expanding the definition of a historic cemetery to banning welfare recipients to withdraw their cash assistance from ATM machines inside strip clubs.
As of Monday, Gov. Mitch Daniels had already signed nine bills into law, including the controversial "right to work" legislation that makes it a crime for employers to enter into labor agreements that require workers to pay union dues.
Another nine bills were on Daniels' desk by late Monday awaiting his signature. They include legislation that rolls back a "blue law" on Sunday motorcycle sales, and would allow the state's motorcycle dealers to sell their wares seven days a week.
By law, the 2012 "short" legislative session must wrap up by March 14. House Speaker Brian Bosma is predicting lawmakers may be done earlier, by March 9.
Of the more than 100 bills that Daniels is likely to sign into law this year, few are the headline-grabbers like the one that made Indiana the 23rd "right to work" state in the nation. A partisan fight over the bill stalled the first half of the legislative session, when House Democrats refused more than half-dozen times to show up for quorum calls.
Many of the bills headed to Daniels desk are like the cemetery bill that expands the definition of a historic cemetery that can be cared for with county tax dollars. It moves the date to be considered "historic" from 1850 to 1875; it also expands the definition to include cemeteries with the graves of Civil War veterans.
"It may not be the most important bill we pass, but it will be important to a lot of people who care about this issue," said Rep. Ed Clere, a Republican from New Albany who co-sponsored the bill.
While legislation that would have required state officials to start a drug-testing program from welfare recipients failed, a bill that further limits how welfare recipients can access their cash benefits passed, and has already been signed into law by Daniels.
Under the new law that goes into effect July 1, Hoosiers enrolled in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program are banned from accessing their cash benefits using an ATM inside a strip club. The current law already bars those TANF recipients from using ATM machines in casinos, horse tracks, gun shops, bars and liquor stores to access their cash benefits.
One big bill still up for debate is the statewide smoking ban that would prohibit smoking in most indoor workplaces. The House has already passed a bill that would give bars and taverns an extra 18 months to implement the ban, and with exemptions for casinos, cigar bars, and private clubs.
The full Senate is expected to take up the issue Tuesday. As of late Monday, at least 20 different amendments to the bill had been filed. Some would further limit the exemptions, while others would expand the businesses that would be exempt from the smoking ban. Even if the bill passes, it has to go to a joint House-Senate conference committee where legislators would work out their differences.
Daniels has made the smoking ban one of his priorities and has told legislators he wants few workplaces exempted from the law.
