On a roll... now Duncan vows to take on the PM
2:00pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News
THE first man to win a council seat in the east of Witney for the Labour Party has been picked as his party's candidate to face David Cameron at the 2015 General Election.
Father-of-two Duncan Enright, aged 49, will be Labour's parliamentary candidate for the Witney constituency – currently held by the Prime Minister – at the 2015 poll, and will be hoping recent good fortune for Labour in the area will be on his side.
He won the Witney East district council seat in 2012, the first time a candidate from his party had ever won in the ward.
In January 2011 he had won a town council seat in a by-election.
Then in May this year, Laura Price won the county seat of Witney South and Central.
Mr Enright, who runs his own publishing company and leads the Labour group on West Oxfordshire District Council, said: "I am proud of West Oxfordshire where I have lived most of my adult life, and would love to represent my neighbours in Parliament.
I believe local people deserve an MP from their own community. I have campaigned successfully against local Conservatives to make Witney a Fairtrade town, to stop wasteful useless schemes like Witney's Cogges Link Road, and to invest in local jobs so fewer people have to commute miles from our district.
"I believe power in our democracy rests with every one of us.

Preston Covington fundraising for Charleston Pajama Run
Preston Covington fundraising for The Medical University of South Carolina Foundation
I am participating in the Charleston 5K Pajama Run on December 8th and I need to raise at least $500. Won't you help?
I am participating in the Charleston 5K Pajama Run on December 8, 2012 and I need to raise at least $500 for the Hollings Cancer Center. Will you help me by donating to this good cause?
The Pajama Run (www.pajamarun.org) like me, envisions a day when cancer's silent killers, particularly those found below the waist like colorectal, prostate, ovarian and pancreatic will be preventable and someday curable. Preventing these cancers through proper screenings is essential to the Pajama Run's mission. Often these screenings carry social stigmas; stigmas that can carry a death sentence if the cancer is not discovered early. Therefore, increasing awareness of these screenings is one of the Pajama Run's main goals.
The Pajama Run also promotes major advances in scientific research and medical treatments that will someday lead to a cure of cancers below the waist. All donations you make are tax deductible.
Won't you please help by donating to this good cause today?

Albertus Magnus College has announced the appointment of Lorrie Greenhouse Gardella as vice president for professional and graduate studies, a new senior-level position reporting directly to the Office of the President.
Gardella will serve as a member of the College's Administrative Council, providing strategic and operational leadership focused on assessing and sustaining current evening programs and, over time, developing additional accelerated degree and graduate programs. She will hold the academic rank of Professor of Human Services.
"We are pleased to welcome Lorrie Greenhouse Gardella to the Albertus Magnus community and campus. She has had a distinguished academic career, including teaching and administrative positions. Her depth of experience with programs for adult learners will serve us well as we move ahead in this important area," President Julia M. McNamara said.
"I have long admired the innovative educational opportunities that Albertus Magnus College extends to adult learners. I will be guided by an appreciation of the transformative purpose of education and lifelong learning for individuals, families and communities," said Gardella.
During an academic career spanning 26 years at the University of St. Joseph in West Hartford, Lorrie Gardella was a distinguished member of the faculty and held increasingly responsible teaching and leadership positions, most recently as Professor of Social Work, associate dean in the School of Graduate and Professional Studies, and director of the University's Program for Adult Learners, where she guided the development of five bachelor's degree programs offering optional concentrations and accelerated paths to graduate studies.
Gardella holds a bachelor's degree from Smith College, J.D. from the University of Connecticut School of Law and a master's degree in social work from the University of Connecticut. In June she was named a Health Leadership Fellow by the Connecticut Health Foundation; in 2011, Syracuse University Press published her biography "The Life and Thought of Louis Lowy: Social Work Through the Holocaust."
Albertus Magnus College, a Catholic College in the Dominican Tradition founded in 1925, is a co-educational institution with nearly 1,700 students in its undergraduate and graduate programs.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, struggling in the cellar of the NHL and with seemingly no hope of moving from that spot, have finally made a move. It's not the one you were expecting.
Forward Mark Letestu has been traded across the state line to Columbus from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a fourth round pick in the 2012 NHL Draft. Surely, this will solve all the Blue Jackets' problems.
In all seriousness, that pick coming back to Pittsburgh will almost certainly be a valuable one. The Pens now hold eight picks in the draft including Columbus' fourth-rounder, and considering the Blue Jackets' position in the standings, that could be a very early fourth round pick.
For that reason, Columbus seems like a good team to make a trade with when you're just trying to clear a roster spot -- say for the return of Sidney Crosby. The Penguins will never say as much, but they need to make some sort of move in order to clear a roster spot for Crosby's return, which could apparently come as soon as this upcoming weekend. This is certainly speculation, but well, it's pretty justified speculation.
Trading away Letestu, who just happens to play the same center position as Crosby, makes total sense in that regard. The 26-year-old has just one point in 11 games this season, and he scored 27 points in 64 games a year ago. He's kind of an expendable piece for the Penguins, and the Blue Jackets can use all the help they can get.
For more on the trade from the Columbus perspective, check in with Blue Jackets blog The Cannon. For more from the other site of things, check in with SB Nation Pittsburgh and Penguins blog Pensburgh.

You've seen them and probably pinned them: the endless stream of photos of perfectly organized, perfectly labeled and perfectly color-coordinated pantries on Pinterest. That kind of organization can be totally overwhelming, but a realistic approach will help you achieve results that work. Here's what works for me.
Create a fresh canvas. Take everything, and I mean everything, out of the pantry. Set up a portable table and boxes as temporary storage while you sweep and wipe down empty shelves.
Pre-sort your food into three categories. Food to throw away includes expired items and dry ingredients that are providing homes to moths and worms. Food to donate or give to friends includes anything that doesn't fit into your current diet- perhaps you've gone gluten-free, or something has been sitting there too long but is still edible. The last category is food to consolidate into one single container. Am I the only one who thinks we're out of brown sugar every time I shop and has three opened bags and two new ones crammed in my pantry?
Group the remaining food into general categories. You don't necessarily have to keep all canned food together. If you love to bake, dedicate a shelf to baking supplies. In my pantry, dried fruit, nuts, crackers and assorted snacks are stored together, as are miscellaneous condiments and sauces. Everyone's shelves will be organized differently based on their eating habits and lifestyle.
Focus on food you use the most. Group your go-to meal staples together and store them at eye level. You'll be less stressed and less likely to resort to take-out or fast food if you can gather these items quickly. Plus, a quick glance will let you know when it's time to grocery shop.
Stick with the tried and true. Adjusting shelves to accommodate taller containers and adding a few basic accessories such as a Lazy Susan, can-stacking organizer and under the shelf baskets are all excellent ways to make the most of limited pantry space. Also, use containers to group small items. Any container will do. Repurpose shoeboxes, cookie tins and Tupperware with missing lids.
It doesn't have to be pretty; it just has to work. The best containers I've found to store bulk beans, rice and flour are 5-gallon plastic buckets from our local donut shop. Instead of recycling these heavy-duty containers that once held apple filling, the owners sell them to us for a dollar.
Label as needed. Now I'm not completely anti-label; I'm just used to the fact that I am the only one on the planet who follows my own system. On the other hand, if your kids are budding writers or list makers, let them give you an organizing hand. Maybe this whole label thing can work if someone else is in charge. While they're at it, hand them a clipboard and let them take inventory.
Don't over do it. A little organization goes a long way. Once you accomplish these basic steps, checking in with your pantry organization every few months won't be as daunting. In the end, who cares how it looks as long as it helps streamline meal time and grocery shopping, right?
How do you organize your pantry?

A former Augusta County sheriff's deputy pleaded guilty Tuesday to two misdemeanor charges of petit larceny.
Brian David Rose was with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office for four years - until investigators noticed a discrepancy between the former deputy's time sheet and clocked hours.
Commonwealth's Attorney Charles Ajemian said, "Police mark on and mark off when they go on and come off duty, they mark off the computer in their car. They also have a handwritten time saying how many hours you worked that particular shift."
The numbers didn't match up for Rose. Investigators believe the 41-year-old Waynesboro resident pocketed almost $4,000 for hours he never worked. Ajemian says there were times when Rose cut his hours short. Rose admitted to laziness, but stated that none of it was intentional.
Ajemian argued that Rose purposefully stole money in small increments over a period of two years. "It was a consistent series of overcharges to the county," said Ajemian.
Meaning Rose's actions affected taxpayers. Rose got a suspended sentence, but will have to pay back the taxpayers by May 2013. Ajemian believes that to be just.
"He's been convicted of a crime of moral turpitude, of two crimes of moral turpitude," Ajemian said. "And he's lost his job. That's a fairly substantial punishment this day and age I would think."
NBC29 talked with Sheriff Randy Fisher this past summer, and he said this was the first case of fraud he could recall in his 40 years with the Augusta County Sheriff's Office.

Many enterprise IT departments have attempted to respond to growth by adding servers and storage systems dedicated to specific applications, business functions, customers and geographic locations. This, however, results in a more complex, inflexible infrastructure that is costly to manage.
Consolidating resources through data center virtualization techniques ultimately enhances the ability of IT to meet all of the critical needs of the business. By combining server virtualization with storage virtualization, enterprises both large and small can immediately realize the full benefits of virtualization.

County to ban plastic bags at most checkout counters

This ban will not change anything. People who rely on plastic bags for their garbage or clean up after their pets will just start using paper bags. they think by forcing us to pay for paper bags we will switch to those reusable bags. As long as people have money to shell out for paper bags their use will not diminish but will increase. I would rather shell out money for paper bags knowing that no matter how much you wash reusable bags the bacteria in the bottom of the bag will always be there. I for one will not be told how and what I put my groceries in. If I have the money I will always ask for paper. This law is just another stupid law consumers have to deal with.

Bacteria, companions to us all ...
From a San Francisco Chronicle article, July 5, 2012:
The human body carries more than 100 trillion bacteria - up to five pounds of the tiny single-celled organisms. The mouth alone has several hundred species of bacteria. Each tooth is its own ecosystem.
Together, all of the bacteria in the body would be the size of a large liver, and in many ways, scientists say, the microbiome behaves as another organ in the human body.
Each of our bodies has its own unique microbiome, cultivated from birth and built from our genes and our diet, nurtured by our exposure to a family dog or cat, by how much dirt we ate out of the sandbox and the antibiotics we've taken for ear infections or strep throat.

At long last, we will be catching up to what Europeans have been doing for years. It's easy, and it's environmentally sound. You can bring recyclable bags to the check-out stand, or you can wheel your groceries to your car and place them in plastic crates that can be stored flat. No need for paper!

These 5 megalomaniacs just love telling us how to live our lives. We put them in office to work for us and instead they want to control our lives. So they inconvenience us and charge us for making our lives more difficult.
All that is needed is to require all supermarkets and convenience stores to use biodegradable bags and nothing more. Where do the Board of Stupidvisors get off telling retail stores that they have to charge for bags? It is none of the stupidvisors business. The decision whether to charge should left to the retail outlets. When government encroaches on businesses we have creeping socialism.
It would behoove all the cities in the Peninsula to reject this irrational ordinance and send a message to the County that the Cities are quite capable of making their own ordinances and we don't need the County to pressure the Cities. Back off Stupidvisors!
There is a problem using non-biodegradable bags and to respect the environment and each cty should pass ordinances to address the Problem.
My suggestion for an ordinance would be "All grocery stores and convenience outlets shall only offer their customers biodegradable bags". Nothing should be mention about the composition of the bags or whether the retail establishments should charge for these bags.

@ chris. Most urban Europeans don't have cars. The well-to-do, yes. They can afford parking.

At the Kentucky Lake Motor Speedway access road. Both drivers were wearing seat belt at the time of the collision.

- " Although located at the Chungking Mansions, where you can are offered have sex, hashish, watches and variety of cell phones, Tokyo Hostel is a really nice place. It's clean (daily room-service), the staff is very helpful, they've got fridge in the room and BBC on the tv.It might not be the cheapest one, but the price is considerable, and you pay for safety and cleanness. A very good option indeed. "

- " The room was clean. Very small according to the price. The owner was a dificult guy who couldn't hear 'no'. At night we couldn't sleep because of the rats or mice we heard scratching at the cealing above our heads. "

- " We booked a twin-room at Tokyo Hostel, but they put us in Australian hostel on 16th floor instead. Linen looked suspect first day, but got changed each day. Our room was rigth next to reception area, and our last night was spoiled by a strange melody-alarm that went of every 5 minuts all night long - it was like having an alarm clock going of all the time. I tried waking the guy in reception twice, but he said it was a fan alarm and he apparently couldent do anything about it. "

On Our Radar: Walter Pfeiffer-------
It does the great Swiss photographer Walter Pfeiffer no favors to suggest he's a kind of proto-Terry Richardson—if anything, the debt is in the other direction—but suffice it to say, it's hard to imagine the gritty, my-world-and-the-naked-young-friends-in-it style of Terry's Diary without him. Pfeiffer toiled in relative obscurity for years, producing amazing, seemingly tossed-off snapshots of the kids hanging out at his studio for landmark gay collections like Walter Pfeiffer 1970-1980 and Das Auge, die Gedanken, unentwegt wandernd (The Eyes, the Thoughts, Ceaselessly Wandering). In more recent years, he's been taken up by the fashion establishment—he shot an amazing series of guys and candy for Candy, and several seasons of Tilda Swinton for Pringle of Scotland's campaigns—but much of his early work remains out of print or hard to track down. All the more reason to be cheerful that my friends at the London shop LN-CC rounded up some of the best—thanks to Conor Donlon, the mastermind of Donlon Books, who curates their bookshop as well as his own—most signed by Pfeiffer himself. The most recent, Scrapbooks 1969-1985 (top), is a cut-and-paste compendium of seemingly everything the photographer saw, from his own work to clippings from Women's Wear Daily and obscure Swiss men's fashion catalogs. Tumblr before Tumblr. But better.
The Walter Pfeiffer collection, along with an interview with the photographer, is now online at ln-cc.com.
East London Calling, Online And By Appointment-------
As the creative director and buyer for the online menswear retailer Oki-Ni, John Skelton was well aware that more than a few women were shopping for dude's duds on his site. Now he's applying that unisex sensibility to his new store. LN-CC—which stands for Late Night Chameleon Cafe—launches online early next week with a mix of fashion-forward menswear from the likes of Raf Simons and Rick Owens, cult Japanese brands including Wacko Maria, and up-and-comers such as specs-maker Illesteva. Ladies' goods include clothing from Preen and jewelry from Lara Bohinc and Mawi. So far, so good—and Skelton has gone unisex one better by asking several of the menswear brands he's stocking to make versions of their apparel and accessories in women's sizes and fits. (A few of the women's labels at LN-CC will be returning the favor.) "We didn't want to get into anything girly," Skelton explains. "There's a certain sensibility at work here, that a certain kind of woman appreciates, and we're staying true to that."
Meanwhile, the LN-CC e-commerce site is only the tip of the iceberg. Skelton and partner Dan Mitchell are knee-deep in construction on the 5,000-square-foot Late Night Chameleon Cafe store in East London, an appointment-only space that is being designed in collaboration with set designer Gary Card and which will host a library curated by Donlon Books owner Conor Donlon and a wide-ranging selection of music titles. The shop is due to open in October. "We really felt strongly that we didn't want this to be a place people just wandered in and out of," Skelton explains, when asked about the decision to make Late Night Chameleon Cafe open only by appointment. "We want this to be a destination, a place people come to with a sense of purpose, and where they spend some time, and engage."

Grover Norquist Wants to Drown Your State
by Progressive States, Tue Jun 20, 2006 at 08:48:26 AM EDT
Grover Norquist famously said that he wants "to get [government] down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub." In fact, he's working hard right now to do that across the country including, quite likely, in your own home state.
Grover Norquist and the organization he leads -- Americans for Tax Reform -- are one of a small group of extremely well-funded radical rightwing groups attempting to put state spending in straitjackets. The straitjacket is known as TABOR -- the so-called "Taxpayers' Bill of Rights" -- and it is modeled on disastrous legislation passed and eventually suspended in Colorado. Check below the fold to find out more about Norquist's attempt to drown your state in the bathtub -- and what you can do to fight back.
Colorado's TABOR amendment is popping up all over the country. In most states, it has taken a different name -- Stop OverSpending (SOS) or Tax and Spending Control (TASC) -- but the basic idea is the same: aribtrarily limit growth in state spending based on only two factors -- population growth and the consumer price index (a common measure of inflation).
As Colorado's voters realized, the TABOR amendment is destructive -- it undermines essential health care and education programs. The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities reports drastic impacts from TABOR.
In 2005, voters in Colorado passed Referendum C to temporarily repeal TABOR and allow the state to shore up its suffering social services and public infrastructure. (For more info on how and why TABOR is so destructive and simultaneously fails to deliver on its promises of economic development, check out our primer at the bottom of this diary.
- Colorado ranks 47th in K-12 education funding as a share of state income.
- Colorado ranks 50th in the nation in on-time immunization rates....
- Colorado has eliminated its affordable housing loans and grants program.
- Probation officers in Colorado carry an average of 238 cases -- nearly double the national average of 130. Due to funding decreases, nearly 50 probation officers were laid off between 2002 and 2004....
- The high school graduation rate in Colorado fell from 76 percent in 1990 to 70 percent in 2004....
- The percentage of low-income Colorado children who lack health insurance rose from 15 percent in 1991-92 to 27 percent in 2002-03. (During the same period, the national proportion who lack insurance declined from 21 percent to 19 percent.) Among Colorado low-income adults, the rate rose from 22 percent to 32 percent while the national rate rose from 26 percent to 27 percent.
The Colorado vote was a major setback for Norquist and his cronies, but not so much that they have stopped. In fact, they are just warming up and are now pushing this idea across the country.
An Orchestrated Movement: The Backers of TABOR
Although TABOR campaigns across the country claim to be homegrown, the evidence suggests that nothing could be farther from the truth. In Michigan, Montana, and Nebraska, the amendment has received the name Stop OverSpending (SOS). The ballot issue committees for the organizations have striking similar names across the country -- in Montana the moniker is Montanans in Action, while in Oklahoma they are Oklahomans in Action. The Michigan amendment and Nebraska amendment are using the same website firm and design for their internet presence.
What's more, virtually all of the funding is coming from the same handful of organizations. At the forefront are Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform and Americans for Limited Government -- an organization closely associated with U.S. Term Limits and the Club for Growth, a PAC famous for its nastiness in fighting for a right-wing economic agenda.
A publication from the Heartland Institute a year ago highlighted these organizations, as well as such high profile far-right institutions as The Heritage Foundation and the American Legislative Exchange Council as being the major players behind the pro-TABOR movement, notwithstanding the local puppets' claims that the idea is homegrown.
And these folks are playing right in your own backyard.
TABOR in Your State
In states across the country, the far-right is pushing TABOR Amendments. Find out below how the issue is faring in your state:
- Colorado: This is the state where it all began. After living with TABOR for 13 years, voters approved Referendum C last year to temporarily repeal TABOR and allow the state to expand spending and get its social services and public infrastructure back on the right track.
- Kansas: Attempts at a legislative TABOR floundered after bipartisan opposition to the measure killed it in May. The Fiscal Focus Institute established TABORtruth.org as a way to educate Kansans about the implications of TABOR.
- Maine: Signature gatherers for TABOR in Maine failed to gather signatures quickly enough to qualify the measure under statutory rules, but challenged the law on the grounds that the Constitution did not authorize additional statutory deadlines for signature gathering. The courts agreed, striking down the law and allowing the TABOR measure on to the ballot. Citizens United, a large coalition, is organizing to oppose the issue.
- Michigan: With a goal of 320,000 signatures by July 10, Michigan's TABOR backers are expressing optimism at qualifying for the ballot. Opposition is being organized with the best resources available through the Michigan League for Human Services.
- Missouri: Signature gatherers under the guise of "Missourians in Charge" were advancing their version of the TABOR Amendment, named "People in Charge." The Missouri Secretary of State ruled that signature gatherers had failed to follow specific rules, knocking the issue off the ballot. Missourians in Charge has appealed that decision and a ruling is pending. The Missouri Budget Project has information on the dangers of the TABOR Amendment in Missouri, as well as information on the homegrown coalition being built to fight the measure.
- Montana: Petitioners have been working for months to qualify a TABOR Amendment, along with two other measures (and have come under fire for their practices, see our recent Eye on the Right). This Friday is the deadline for submitting signatures. Opposition is being organized by Not in Montana.
- Nevada: The organization backing Nevada's version of the TABOR amendment went to court to try to get a six-week extension to gather more signatures. The judge ruled against them and they must submit over 80,000 valid signatures by tomorrow. Despite asking for the extension, they have expressed optimism at qualifying. Local opposition is being organized by a group called Nevadans for Nevada that does not appear to have an internet presence.
- Ohio: Secretary of State Ken Blackwell had become a leading TABOR proponent, but ended up viewing the measure as a "political liability," prompting the conservative legislature to pass a statutory cap and allow Blackwell to back away from his own proposal. The statutory cap, though, is probably not enforceable according to a legislative report completed on the subject. TABOR backers like Grover Norquist have already pledged to try again for a constitutional amendment at a later time. Locals are organizing through the Coalition for Ohio's Future.
- Oklahoma: To qualify the measure, proponents had to submit nearly 220,000 valid signatures. They submitted almost 300,000, but now face a lawsuit charging that as many as 120,000 of those signatures were gathered illegally, requesting a judge toss them out. Both sides are publicly saying they are optimistic of victory. The Alliance for Oklahoma's Future has information on the anti-TABOR fight.
- Oregon: Initiative 6 has been circulating since last October. Its backers have until July 7th to qualify it with a little over 1000,000 signatures. Their efforts have come under fire (see our recent Eye on the Right). Our Oregon is organizing to oppose the measure and the Oregon Center for Public Policy is providing the intellectual firepower.
- Pennsylvania: The legislature is considering both constitutional and statutory caps, which the minority has labelled the Taxpayer Rights Assault Plan. The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center has more.
- Rhode Island: A group consisting of conservative activists, some legislators, and the Governor have put forward a bill to amend the Constitution with a TABOR. A hearing on the measure was held in late May. No further action appears to have been taken.
- South Carolina: A spending cap initially had the backing of the Governor and several legislators. Following disagreements between the Governor and legislative leadership, and with state revenues exceeding expectations, the legislature appears to have moved past the idea.
- Wisconsin: A legislative proposal to amend Wisconsin's Constitution died a quiet death. The measure was first gutted in the Assembly, where it was edited to only apply to state spending instead of all government spending. The Senate outright killed the measure in May. The defeat for TABOR-backers came after three years of organizing.
A TABOR Primer: Why the Policy is So Destructive
Why TABOR Fails in Theory
The core feature of TABORs that are being advanced around the country is the formula to limit spending increases to a rate equal to the rate of population growth plus growth in the consumer price index (inflation). This formula is meant to sound reasonable but is theoretically flawed for a number of reasons:
- Inflation for Consumers is Different from Inflation for Government. Inflation in the general economy is measured through a variety of standards, of which the consumer price index (CPI) is only the most common. The CPI measures inflation for a typical household budget, but households allocate their spending in a very different way than governments. And state governments in particular devote large portions of their budget to health care and education, two areas that have experienced more rapid inflation than other sectors of the economy.
- Populations Relevant to Government are Different from Populations as a Whole. Just as the inflation portion of the equation applies an unfair standard to government, the population growth standard fails to properly anticipate population changes of the greatest relevance to government. Government expenditures are tied to specific populations. Education costs increase with the number of children; corrections costs increase with the number of inmates; and health care costs increase with the number of seniors. Denying demographic changes by fiat does not make dealing with reality easier.
- The Formula Does Not Account for Emergencies. One-time expenditures occasionally become necessary in times of emergency or great need. Locked-in, one-size-fits-all formulas fail to address the realities of a complex world.
- Federal Spending Cuts Will Require Stepped Up State Efforts. Utah's government, acknowledging federal budget cuts, is turning toward charity to shore up the state's Medicaid budget. Whether federal cuts are made up through voluntary giving to state government or increased taxation, a pure limitation on state spending makes it impossible for states to shore up losses due to federal cuts. In other cases, states simply have increased burdens, such as what has resulted from the unfunded mandates of No Child Left Behind (NCLB).
TABOR's Disastrous Record in Colorado
As the people of Colorado realized during their state's disastrous experimentation with TABOR, these concerns are not merely theoretical. TABOR has a very real impact on people's lives. According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities:
- K-12 Education -- Funding for K-12 education plummeted, resulting in some of the lowest expenditures as a percentage of income of any state in the country. Colorado slipped further behind other states in their per pupil spending.
- Higher Education -- State spending on higher education fell by 31% when calculated in real terms. Students picked up the tab, facing 21% higher tuition rates between 2000 and 2004 after adjusting for inflation. In other states, students may not be able to make up the shortfall, since even tuition money may end up being considered state spending. In such a case, universities would simply cut budgets, with education quality suffering.
- Public Health -- Colorado's public health system, which used to be competitive with others around the country, suffered massive problems and became among the worst in the country in terms of access to prenatal care and vaccinations. Colorado schools actually "suspended its requirement that school children be fully vaccinated" against a range of diseases, due to lack of money to pay for the vaccines.
- Health Insurance -- Following TABOR's adoption, the percentage of children lacking health insurance almost doubled, from 15% to 27%. The Medicaid system was also gutted, resulting in Colorado being the second worst state in the country for Medicaid coverage.
Why TABOR Hurts the Economy
"[Business leaders] have figured out that no business would survive if it were run like the TABOR faithful say Colorado should be run -- with withering tax support for college and universities, underfunded public schools and a future of crumbling roads and bridges." -- Neil Westergaard, Editor of the Denver Business Journal
While advocates of spending caps rely on economic growth as a key argument, the business community in Colorado and independent research have made it clear that spending caps are a bad idea if the goal is good-paying jobs and a friendly environment for business. In fact, while far-right ideologues claim that Colorado flourished as a result of TABOR, the evidence indicates that the opposite may be true. In the twelve years prior to TABOR's enactment, Colorado grew at the typical rate for states in the Rocky Mountain Region. In the twelve years for which data is available after TABOR's passage (1992-2004), Colorado's economy actually grew slower than the typical economy in the Rocky Mountain Region.
In fact, many Colorado business leaders and associations signed on to raise money and spread the message that TABOR desperately needed reform. Why was TABOR so bad for the economy?
- TABOR Weakened Infrastructure. Businesses rely on investment in public infrastructure, like public roads, in order to be able to deliver for their customers. Potholes are bad for the economy.
- TABOR Weakened Education. Colorado's education system took a major hit from TABOR's passage. Education is one of the key policies for strengthening a state's economy. Without the money to keep schools strong, Colorado was likely to see real long-term problems if reform had not been adopted.

Sparkle Bought these for my five year old. Not only are they cute and comfortable, they clean up easily as well. March 22, 2014
Granddaughter loves them Ordered for my 8yr old granddaughter for a trip to Disney. She loved the pink and purple color, the mesh was cool & the sole cushioned her for lots of walking. She wore them everyday with & without socks & never a blister. Great shoe March 15, 2014
These shoes run HUGE! I was so excited to purchase these for my daughter. They are so cute! I bought the pink, which doesn't appear all that bright online, but let me tell you...they're bright! Daughter loved the look of them, however, they run HUGE! My daughter is currently wearing a 2, so I printed out the foot sizing guide from Garnet Hill and she measures closer to the 3. I inquired about the fit and was told that they run true to size. This is not true. The size 3 is so large, it looked like one of my shoes! In fact, I tried it on to see, and despite being a size 8, my foot actually fit inside (granted, it was a very tight fit). So...I'm not sure how many sizes to go down, but I have returned them and am waiting to try a size 2. I'm afraid they will also be too big, but hopefully they will fit with room to grow. Keeping my fingers crossed! February 26, 2014

Signs and symptoms of hemophilia vary depending on how deficient you are in clot-forming proteins called clotting factors. If levels of your deficient clotting factor are very low, you may experience spontaneous bleeding. If levels of your deficient clotting factor are slightly to moderately low, you may bleed only after surgery or trauma.
Signs and symptoms of spontaneous bleeding may include:
Emergency signs and symptoms of hemophilia may include:
At first, because of limited mobility, a baby with hemophilia usually won't have many problems related to hemophilia. But as your baby begins to move around, falling and bumping into things, superficial bruises may occur. This bleeding into soft tissue may become more frequent the more active your child becomes.
If you're pregnant or considering a pregnancy and have a family history of hemophilia, talk to your doctor. You may be referred to a medical genetics specialist or a specialist in bleeding disorders, who can help you determine if you are a carrier of hemophilia. If you are a carrier, it's possible to test the fetus during pregnancy to determine if it is affected by the disease.
If you have a baby boy, prolonged bleeding following circumcision may be the first indication of hemophilia. In girls and in boys who aren't circumcised, easy bruising when the child becomes more mobile may lead to the diagnosis. The first episode of bleeding generally occurs by the time a child is 2 years old. If your baby bruises easily as he or she becomes more mobile, see your doctor.

PLATTSBURGH — City of Plattsburgh councilors agreed to look further into a plan that could lead to a lucrative waterfront project.
"This is a good chance for the city make a lot of money and keep a great piece of lakefront property," John Ducatte told members of the council's Infrastructure Committee on Thursday night.
Biz News Ink
The city is exploring the idea of developing the waterfront property it owns at the end of Dock Street near Plattsburgh Boat Basin. There are docks in the water now that were installed to aid the several fishing tournaments that are held on Lake Champlain each year, but there is no management of them.
"People want to dock there — now they do it for free," Ducatte said.
Earlier this year, the city entertained two proposals from private companies to manage the waterfront property. Plattsburgh Boat Basin and Navtours both offered to provide boat moorings, dock space, kayak and small-watercraft rentals, as well as food service and other recreational amenities.
The council voted in favor of negotiating with Navtours, a Canadian-based company, which has been in business on the lake for 15 years, but no deal has been struck.
Ducatte works for the city's Public Works Department but has extensive marina experience, having worked at marinas around the world and spent time in the Coast Guard.
He submitted a plan that features a city-run marina that he says could generate as much as $3.2 million over a 10-year period.
The proposal calls for installing up to 80 moorings over time and renting out the dock space that exists. The moorings would be divided between the Dock Street site and Wilcox Dock to the north.
With rents starting at $50 per foot, and most boats being about 30 feet, Ducatte said, the city could see revenue of about $1,500 per season per boat to start with. Rental fees would increase gradually over a 10-year period according to his plan.
"Mooring rentals require zero labor except for the first day and the last day," he said.
"Otherwise, it's just people giving you money."
The dock space would be rented out for day use or overnight stays.
The plan calls for one full-time and one part-time employee to be hired.
After investing in equipment and labor, the first year is projected to yield the city only $774, Ducatte's plan shows.
But revenue would jump to $83,599 the second year, $199,801 the third year and $234,624 the fourth year, he estimated.
The projected eventual profit for 10 years is $3,228,950.
Navtours offered the city annual rent of $12,000, plus 10 percent of marina revenues, which the firm estimated to be about $10,700 per year for a total annual payment to the city of $22,700.
Recreation Department Superintendent Steve Peters said he spoke with his counterpart in Ogdensburg who runs a municipal marina. He said that operation, and many other municipal marinas around the state, seem to work well.
"It is done by others around the state, and the labor involved is not terrible," Peters said.
"This is worth a shot, in my opinion."
Peters said the public often seeks ways to utilize the lake inexpensively, and this plan would help provide more access.
"The challenge for us is to find a way to get people to the water, which is not that easy to do," he said.
Public Works Superintendent Mike Brodi said controlling the waterfront property has its advantages for the city.
"It's not like the hotel site that we have no control over, and we can't get out of that deal," he said, referring to an agreement the city made in 2003 with a Syracuse developer to build a waterfront hotel that fell through.
The case is tied up in legal action, preventing the city from going forward with any alternative plans.
"If we run it (marina) ourselves, then we can change it any way we want," Brodi said.
Councilor Chris Jackson (D-Ward 6) said he wants the city to take advantage of the waterfront property, but he was concerned about competing with private marinas on the lake.
"But we do need to manage that property better," he said.
George Rabideau (R-Ward 3) said the city already competes with private enterprise with its gym and garbage collection.
Mark Tiffer (D-Ward 2) said he would support looking into a city-run marina, but he wants to see a comprehensive plan for the city and how such a waterfront development would fit in.
"We need to answer a lot of questions first, and right now we are just talking," he said at the meeting.
"There is no guide."
After the session, Tiffer elaborated, saying it is difficult to gauge how a waterfront plan would affect the rest of the city without a deeper look into the future.
"We need a comprehensive plan for the waterfront, for downtown, for the entire city," he said.
"We don't know the feasibility of plans like this (waterfront plan) until we know all of that, and that needs to be a priority."
Jackson said no decisions will be made until more research is done and discussions held.
"But we will pursue this," he said.

I did something bad on my Thinkpad T43 2668, now I have black screen on booting, can't Access IBM, can't press any Function Key, can't boot from CD. Here's what I've done:
1. Got unwanted winxp sp3 automatic updates, then, Restored to pervious point via Winxp system restore, then, can't boot system; can't boot from Winxp CD either;
2. Boot from Linux Live CD, formate harddisk and install ubuntu, Hidden Area Partition is not removed, still there;
3. Can boot Linux OS, but black screen at booting. There's no way to see what's going on at booting; Pressing any function key or IBM bottons doesn't return any result, still boot into Linux;
4. Can't boot from any legal bootable CD except Ubuntu Live CD;
5. No way to access Bios to set boot sequence, so, can't boot from USB floppy either;
Any advise is appreciated!
PS. I tried Linux live CD a while ago before this trouble, clicked "Help me boot from CD", got installed something. I guess that's something installed out of box and that's why currently I can boot from Linux Live CD.
Solved! Go to Solution.
To enter BIOS you need to press F1 at boot, when you see the IBM logo.

Since the OS is formated, all the function keys are not functional now.
There's no IBM logo, totally black screen at boot.
Find and remove the bios backup battery for 5 seconds, replace and reboot.
May be under the keyboard?
If it now boots properly, enter bios and set it up, date, time, boot order, etc.
How to "Find and remove bios backup battery"?
it's now boots properly under linux. How to enter Bios under Linux without the function keys ?

Some dis-assembly required! If you are not comfortable with this idea,
don't bother. Explore other solutions first.
Download Hardware Maintenance Manual HERE
Look for section Removing and replacing a FRU, Backup Battery.
I noticed in your original post that BEFORE the problem started you
ran a Linux live disk that had a feature "Help me boot from CD"
Which distro?
I read the PDF you pointed, that's too complicated and risky for a dummy like me. I'd prefer sort out other solutions.
The distro is Xubuntu
Found your thread over at ubuntu forums. Ubuntu
You said "No, they are all inactivated without the R&R files to active them after formated OS."
NOT true. F1 for bios should always work, F8 is a windows boot menu key, if windows is installed.
"Press any key to boot from cd..." only shows when using Windows disks.
I still think that when you chose some option to "help boot from cd", bios was changed,
leading to the current problem. Just my feeling.
And post version of Xubuntu used, may try it later.
F12 at boot can also be used to select the boot device
