Kay Bailey Hutchison on Government Reform
Republican Sr Senator (TX)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT): I am cosponsoring the legislation to provide a House seat for DC and an additional House seat for Utah. Representation and suffrage are so central to the American system of self-government that America's founders warned that limiting suffrage would risk another revolution and could prevent ratification of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held in 1820 that Congress' legislative authority over DC allows taxation of DC. Do opponents of giving DC a House seat believe that DC is suitable for taxation but not for representation?
Opponent's argument to vote No:Sen. JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ): I make a constitutional point of order against this bill on the grounds that it violates article I, section 2, of the Constitution. I appreciate the frustration felt by the residents of DC at the absence of a vote in Congress. According to many experts, DC is not a State, so therefore is not entitled to that representation. Also, one has to raise the obvious question: If DC is entitled to a Representative, why isn't Puerto Rico, which would probably entail 9 or 10 Members of Congress? [With regards to the seat for Utah], this is obviously partisan horse-trading.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BYRD: In 1978, I voted for H.J. Res. 554, that proposed amending the Constitution to provide for representation of D.C. [That amendment passed the Senate but was not ratified by the States]. While I recognize that others believe that the Constitution authorizes the Congress to "exercise exclusive legislation" over D.C., the historical intent of the Founders on this point is unclear. I oppose S.1257, because I doubt that our Nation's Founding Fathers ever intended that the Congress should be able to change the text of the Constitution by passing a simple bill.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. HATCH. There are conservative and liberal advocates on both sides of this issue,and think most people know Utah was not treated fairly after the last census. For those who are so sure this is unconstitutional, [we include an] expedited provision that will get us to the Supreme Court to make an appropriate decision. It will never pass as a constitutional amendment. There are 600,000 people in D.C., never contemplated by the Founders of this country to be without the right to vote. They are the only people in this country who do not have a right to vote for their own representative in the House. This bill would remedy that situation.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. DOLE. I am proposing a commonsense measure to uphold the integrity of Federal elections. My amendment to require voters to show photo identification at the polls would go a long way in minimizing potential for voter fraud. When a fraudulent vote is cast and counted, the vote of a legitimate voter is cancelled. This is wrong, and my amendment would help ensure that one of the hallmarks of our democracy, our free and fair elections, is protected. Opinion polls repeatedly confirm that Americans overwhelmingly support this initiative.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. FEINSTEIN. If one would want to suppress the vote in the 2008 election, one would vote for this because this measure goes into effect January 1, 2008. It provides that everybody who votes essentially would have to have a photo ID. If you want to suppress the minority vote, the elderly vote, the poor vote, this is exactly the way to do it. Many of these people do not have driver's licenses. This amendment would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to actually carry out. It goes into effect--surprise--January 1, 2008 [to affect the presidential election]. I urge a "no" vote.
For example, I am a big fan of McDonald's. What about the kids working behind the counter? Would they be considered registered lobbyists because McDonald's has lobbyists? Would I not be able to go to lunch with my longtime friend who owns 12 McDonald's?
Introductory statement by Sponsor:
Sen. CLINTON: I rise today to introduce legislation that will create an undergraduate institution designed to cultivate a generation of young leaders dedicated to public service. The US Public Service Academy Act (The PSA Act) will form a national academy to serve as an extraordinary example of effective, national public education.
The tragic events of September 11 and the devastation of natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita underscore how much our Nation depends on strong public institutions and competent civilian leadership at all levels of society. Congress must take a step forward to ensure competent civilian leadership and improve our Nation's ability to respond to future emergencies and to confront daily challenges.
This legislation will create the US Public Service Academy to groom future public servants and build a corps of capable civilian leaders. Modeled after the military service academies, this academy will provide a four-year, federally-subsidized college education for more than 5,000 students a year in exchange for a five year commitment to public service.
The PSA Act will meet critical national needs as the baby-boomer generation approaches retirement. Already, studies show looming shortages in the Federal civil service, public education, law enforcement, the non-profit sector and other essential areas.
Unfortunately our young people are priced out of public service careers all too often. By providing a service-oriented education at no cost to the student, the PSA Act will tap into the strong desire to serve that already exists among college students while erasing the burden of enormous college debt.
The establishment of a United States Public Service Academy is an innovative way to strengthen and protect America by creating a corps of well-trained, highly-qualified civilian leaders. I am hopeful that my Senate colleagues from both sides of the aisle will join me today.
A bill to improve procedures for the collection and delivery of absentee ballots of absent overseas uniformed services voters. Congress makes the following findings:
A bill to require Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws.
Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise explanation of the specific constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act. The failure to comply with this section shall give rise to a point of order in either House of Congress. The availability of this point of order does not affect any other available relief.
Constitutional Authority for This Act: This Act proposes to establish new procedures by which legislation shall be considered by Congress and is enacted pursuant to the power granted Congress under article I, section 5, clause 2, of the United States Constitution establishing that each House may determine the rules of its proceedings.

Hey look, it's a St. Louis-area baseball writer writing about Albert Pujols even though Albert Pujols hasn't played for St. Louis since last October. It's like, get over it already, right? Except actually it's not like that at all. Here's Bernie Miklasz discussing Pujols' wildly uncharacteristic struggles with the Angels, and while some of what he says is uninteresting and some of what he says we already knew, some of what he says is extremely insightful. In this author's opinion. I just assume that all your opinions mirror my own. Here are my two favorite parts of Miklasz's analysis:
* One disturbing sign for Pujols: the ball isn't traveling as far when he hits it into the air. (I'm talking fly balls, not liners or pop-ups.) According to the web site beatthemaps.com, Pujols fly balls are traveling an average of 266 feet so far this season. That's a drop from an average of 313 feet in 2010, and 303 feet in 2011. (Hat tip to Fangraphs for alerting readers to the beat the maps site.)
* Pujols seems to be awfully anxious to end his home-run drought. He's been pull-crazy so far, yanking way too many batted balls to the left side. According to STATS, 41 percent of Pujols' batted balls have been grounders to the left side. This year 27 percent of Pujols' batted balls have been hit in the air to left field. So if you add it up, 68 percent of his batted balls have been pulled to left. Last season 40 percent of Pujols' batted balls were pulled to left. Big difference. Pujols has always been at his best when he's shooting hard-hit balls to all parts of the field, especially the middle.
If you analyze virtually any player's slump, you'll probably find some negative indicators. Some reasons for that slump's very existence. Otherwise the player probably wouldn't be slumping. Far more often than not, the indicators reverse, and the player pulls out of his slump and goes back to being himself. I think the expectation is still that Albert Pujols will be more or less fine when he gets going.
But it's interesting to think about where Albert Pujols' new true-talent baseline might be. The fact of the matter is that he is now doing some things he hasn't done, or hasn't done as much, in the past. He's getting older, and he's around the point at which we expect players - even the great ones - to get worse. Pujols is under contract for a very long time and already, with just a month in the books, we're wondering if he's even Albert Pujols anymore.
Pujols will improve on his .547 OPS. Mario Mendoza posted a career .507 OPS. Will Pujols improve by two hundred points, three hundred points, four hundred points, or five hundred points? We don't know right now. Which is ... well, it's crazy, is what it is. He's Albert Pujols!

Cicero —
With more than half of the field ranked in the top-20 in the state, the Zionsville golf team knew Monday, May 13's Hoosier Crossroads Conference Tournament was going to be a tough test.
And despite not playing their best golf of the season, the Eagles showed they will be contenders when the postseason rolls around.
Zionsville shot a team-score of 315 to finish in a three-way tie for second place.
"The golf course was brutal today," Zionsville head coach Steve Simmons said. "That is some of the thickest rough I have seen and the greens and fairways were really fast. We had a pretty good start, but we started to get down on ourselves a little bit on the second half of the front nine because we weren't making things happen. Once they started hearing some of the scores and knew they were in it, they started playing better."
Avon, ranked second in the state, placed first with a 309. Zionsville - ranked 13th, No. 3 Hamilton Southeastern and No. 4 Westfield all shot a 315.
Avon's Keegan McKinney was the individual medalist, shooting a 72 — one shot better than Zionsville's Adam Wood.
"Avon really beat us because of their top two kids," Simmons said. "They had two guys shoot really well, shooting a 72 and a 74, and the rest were in the 80s."
Wood earned All-HCC honors with his secondplace finish, as did Trent Pancake, who shot a 79.

HDTV 60Hz to 120Hz...what a difference!!!
HI-DEF VIDEO with the right tools is simply stunning.
For several months now, I've had a nice LG HDTV (42 inch screen, 1080p 60Hz). It was great to watch blu-rays on, (via my Sony PlayStation 3) and play video games with. But, even when watching Blu-Rays, I could tell something was amiss. The blu-ray movies really didn't look much better than DVD's, except maybe just a little sharper.
That all changed today, when I got my new HDTV from Samsung (46 inch screen, 1080p 120Hz). Amazing what a difference another 60Hz made.
Granted, right now, the top of the line TV's are 240Hz or better, so by some standards, I got another out-dated TV. However, since I'm not entirely sold on the whole "3D TV" hype yet, 120Hz would suit my needs. And it has served well.
I inaugurated my new purchase by watching the 2009 movie of Star Trek. I could IMMEDIATELY tell the difference as soon as the Paramount logo blazed on the screen at the start of the movie. The stars were sharper, and more vivid, the mountain looked less like a CG model, and more like a physical model. After going through the opening logos, my jaw dropped as the first actual footage from the movie came up. It was simply stunning. The contrast was razor sharp, the characters and foreground objects stood out. And the movie that I had been so used to seeing in a rather film-grain visual now looked like it was shot on videotape (and I say that in a good way). Shiny objects looked much more lifelike. I felt like I was there on the bridge of the Kelvin. And the spaceship shots.....WOW! They looked less and less like CGI models, and again, more like physical models...the way the hull reflected light. To some degree, the live character shots looked almost like something you'd see in the old PBS/BBC Doctor Who productions....but with better quality.
I actually had to pause the movie and step away a few times, I was so stunned with what I was seeing. (BTW, I gave my old HDTV to my roomie, since his HDTV had burned out....yeah, I'm a generous guy like that. He, in turn, is going to cover my Special Edition Halo Reach Xbox 360 purchase.)
Well, I finished watching the movie, and decided to see how my blu-ray of the Star Trek Original Series Season One would look. I popped on my favorite episode, "Balance of Terror". Again, I was blown away.
If anyone remembers the classic look of the older series "Dark Shadows", that's what the blu-ray presentation of Star Trek Season One reminded me of. Again, the contrast, the characters, and even the space shots just gave me pause. I could not believe I was watching a show from 1967. The grainy look was gone. It was as if, just with the Star Trek movie, the series had been shot with a completely different camera.
I'm anxious now to see how my video games will look.
I realize, again, I've bought relatively outdated tech, but for my purposes, there's no buyer's remorse here.
Dark Shadows? I use to rush home after school to catch the last 15-20 minutes of the original afternoon broadcasts. Most remembered are the on set mistakes that always made it through to viewing. Seems that there were practically no "retakes" on the budget the show had. Imagine if ST had the same restrictions, though I do know the budget was pretty tight toward the end.
Yeah, that would kinda suck if you didn't have the budget to do retakes of a shot....almost as if DS was shot live. And yeah, imagine if the original ST lacked a shooting budget that permitted retakes.
It does deliver a certain bit of honesty in the performances though, eh?
I only just got a Blu-Ray player and while it's not played on a TV that size it is a HD TV and even with upscaling the results were impressive between that and the DVD played through my old DVD player.

yeah...120 is life like...
after coming from 60 it looks like you're watching everything prerecorded...at 120...it's like everything is live. It's the only way to watch TV.
240 is even better.
Indeed, I imagine 240Hz is off the hook. I wanted to get a 240Hz, but those were out of my price range for the moment.
If I recall correctly, I think I've even seen a couple of plasma TV's with a 500Hz range. If that's the case, I couldn't even imagine it.
However, I'm not a big fan of plasma TV's. (Video games and computers are not good for plasmas, even though current model Plasma TV's do apparently have some kind of burn-in rectification feature, I just wouldn't wanna chance it.)
I've got the entire series of the new Battlestar Galactica on Blu-Ray, and started watching the miniseries last night again. Holy FRAK! It looks like a completely different show in 120Hz.
60 MHz is enough to fool the eye.
Normal long tube florescent lights flash at exactly 60 MHz. But the moment they begin to fail you start to see them strobe in some cases this looks like simply flashes in other cases it looks like pulse traveling from one end of the tube to the other.
Past around 100 MHz the human eye can't really tell the difference 120 is more than enough and 500 is simply excessive. What it does do however is make slow motion functions on the DVR clearer and blur far more reduced when observing action and adds to clarity but this isn't typical movie watching.

Wow, that's some crazy sh*t, I am still happily living in the last millenia with my small old-school CRT TV.
When you tell the truth and take a stand, sometimes it means that you will walk the streets with a burdened heart. Sometimes it means losing a job, means being abused and scorned. It may mean having a seven, eight year old child asking a daddy, "Why do you have to go to jail so much?" And I've long since learned that to be a follower to the Jesus Christ means taking up the cross. And my bible tells me that Good Friday comes before Easter. - MLK, Why I Am Opposed to the War in Vietnam
I only bought a Blu-Ray player because my DVD player went kaput. When the TV I have goes, then I'll upgrade to one the size of a window!

LEBANON, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Marion County Sheriff's Deputy has died after being shot during a traffic stop early Wednesday morning.
Kentucky State Police Trooper Billy Gregory tells WDRB it happened around 2 a.m. on U. S. 68 near Lebanon.
That's where KSP officials say 31-year-old Deputy Anthony Rakes was shot during a traffic stop involving a 2007 Kia that was stopped in the middle of the road. We're told Rakes was out of his patrol car when the suspect -- identified as 49-year-old Dewayne Shipp of McDaniel, Ky., shot Rakes with a small caliber handgun.
Rakes was taken to Springview Hospital where he died during surgery.
Police weren't sure if Shipp was inside or outside his vehicle when he fired the shot.
Police say Shipp took off on foot but was later arrested in Campbellsville by Kentucky State Police and officers from the Campbellsville Police Department. Shipp was taken to the Taylor County Hospital but later transported to University Hospital to treat a gunshot wound to the leg.
Police say the Shipp's gunshot was self-inflicted. He has since been charged with murder of a police officer.
Late Wednesday afternoon, police released information on the preliminary autopsy. The results indicate that Rakes died from injuries sustained from two gunshot wounds located in the abdomen and upper torso area. A final autopsy report will be released at a later date.
Rakes was a Marion County native and a 6-year veteran of the Marion County Sheriff's Department, who previously served with the Lebanon Police Department. "He was kind of a quiet, unassuming guy," said KSP Trooper William Gregory, "but always wanted to be a police officer and served his county and community well."
"Anthony was a studious young man," says James Followell, one of his former teachers. "He was very responsible, very quiet, very disciplined, really thought of well by all the students at Marion County High School."
"He was a decent man," said Lebanon resident Don Webb. "He wore his uniform, performed his job like he was supposed to be doing, treated people right as far as I know."
After Rakes's body was autopsied in Louisville, it was escorted by a police caravan back to Marion County.
Bosley Funeral Home in Lebanon will host visitation starting at 5 p.m. Friday.
Visitation will continue at 11 a.m. Saturday at Marion County High School; the funeral will begin at 1 p.m., with hundreds of law enforcement officers and other first responders expected to attend.

Supermarket floral execs are making big plans for Mother's Day May 12. At Price Chopper in the Northeast, Jon Strom expects sales to grow aggressively at its Central Market Florist departments. "Some of the growth will come from cut-flower sales, including a Magnificent Mom 18-stem rose bouquet," he told The Produce News in an interview. Mr. Strom is vice president for new business development at Price Chopper.
"We continue to hold our Build a Bouquet workshops for children and dads on the Saturday before Mother's Day," Mr. Strom noted. "And we have started a new program for our outdoor nursery, selling the HGTV Home Plant Collection this year. We believe that since it has been a cool spring this year in the Northeast, there will be a lot of interest and sales for outdoor bedding, potted and hanging plants for Mother's Day."
Price Chopper is an 81-year-old chain with headquarters in Schenectady, NY, for its 129 stores in six Northeastern states.
At Schnuck Markets in St. Louis, expectations are also high for floral sales on Mother's Day. The chain has 101 stores in five Midwestern states. "We are planning for record sales this Mother's Day," said Michael Schrader, director of floral for the chain. "It is a cut-flower holiday, but the outdoor program will be expanded, too. Additional add-on sales with complementary items like cards and balloons will also help drive sales."
In the Southwest, a floral executive who did not want to be named said hopes were high for the holiday. "In general, we're pretty bullish for this Mother's Day. We expect strong sales growth. I'm a bit concerned that Mexican Mother's Day may be a bit softer than it was last year because it falls on a Friday. We'll be focused on fresh custom vase arrangements as usual. Helium supplies continue to be a big concern for Mother's Day and graduation as well."
A floral supplier in Boston also weighed in with a positive update. Nick Fronduto, chief operating officer of Jacobson Floral Supply Inc., said orders came in early and showed strong trends. "From a hardgoods wholesaler's perspective," he said in an email message, "the bulk of our business occurs in the weeks leading up to Mother's Day as florists and supermarkets look to both capitalize on early sales and stock up on their non-perishable hardgoods early."
Mr. Fronduto observed that he has seen a "big movement this year toward colored glass pieces and natural moss and bark containers. Fiber clay, unique tin, cement and other eclectic styles are also very much in demand."

In this day and age of practicing "hurried" medicine, for Dr. Mondkar the patient comes first. It's so reassuring to know that still are doctors whose main concern is the well-being of the patient and not making as much money as possible by advising them to go through unnecessary procedures and even surgeries. Dr. Mondkar is the epitomy of an outstanding doctor, and kind human being. This is not only my opinion but also that of 5 other members of my family who are his patients.

NEW ORLEANS -- Wednesday was the last day for Orleans Parish property owners to meet with the assessor's office to challenge their tax assessments. The process of waiting for hours on end challenged the patience of people who feel their assessments are unfair.
It was like a scene from a nightmare, the line of property owners waiting to contest their tax assessments snaked up and down the first floor of City Hall and continued on the 4th floor where the assessor has offices.
"This is cruel and inhumane. This is ridiculous. I mean what other business can treat people like this? Because it's the city government they get away with it. It's terrible, absolutely terrible," said Earleen Boisdore, a property owner.
The wait to actually get to the assessor's office stretched for hours. Michael Printy said he got there about 5 hours before we talked to him.
"I would say there was probably about 80 people ahead of me already," said Printy. "And that was at 6 o'clock. The first guy got here about 4 o'clock in the morning."
Printy said it was almost a riot at one point as property owners waited for assessor's office employees get here.
"People started raising their voices, screaming. Where is everybody at? They need to get in here. We've been in here waiting. Where they heck are they? What time did they arrive? I believe they arrived around 9 o'clock."
"You gotta laugh to stop from crying," said Ethan Crawford.
Adam Krob said he waited for nine hours Tuesday, then he was given a ticket and told to come back Wednesday. Krob said he was relieved after meeting with the assessor.
"And they did make a correction to an error that was in their database. They had my property listed at the wrong number of square footage," said Krob.
Everyone has advice for improving this mess -- at very least extend this process from two weeks to a month or two.
"This is just cramming way too many people into such a short period of time," said Jolie Monteverde.
Assessor Erroll Williams and his staff met with property owners until 9 p.m. Tuesday. He has pointed out that Louisiana law limits the current process to two weeks. He said he would like to see that changed to give people more time.
If you're still not happy after meeting with the assessor, you have until Monday to file an appeal with the Orleans Parish Board of Review.

Carriage Towne News
---- — Support HB370
I have spent many years advocating for adequate state aid to education. I support public schools, and public charter schools, because they are accountable to the state, and towns in their use of precious state and local money.
In contrast, the voucher bill passed in the last legislative session allows for private schools to receive state money and without such accountability. It will reduce by millions the amount of money being distributed to local public schools, hence allowing for either a forced reduction in local programs, or a raise in local taxes.
This makes it imperative that Senator Stiles and Senator Prescott support HB370 which repeals this voucher bill.
I have heard Senator Stile's argument that it is not a good idea to repeal a law passed in the last term, in the very next session because, I assume, this is too chaotic, given the short two year time frame. Generally, Sen. Stiles make a good point. But this law, unlike most others, is unique in that it is less about policy, than as a mechanism that directs a sizable (many millions) revenue away from the general fund. That lost revenue is crucial to the local public schools that are struggling mightily with their own budgets.
At this time of revenue crisis, it makes it even more essential to maximize funding to local public schools who serve, and serve well, the great majority of children here in NH. I believe your constituents will hold you both severally responsible if you do not modify your stance.
We can ill afford that revenue loss to local districts at this time. Therefore, I respectfully ask that you both support HB370.

Ben (Duane Jones) delivers that line in Night of the Living Dead, directed by George Romero and released in 1968. He's referring to the zombies outside of course who will continue to move forward, never stopping, unrelenting. When Harry Cooper (Karl Hardman) argues for everyone moving to the cellar Ben assures him the house is boarded up and "those things have no strength." Ah, but Cooper argues, having had his car turned over, individual strength doesn't matter when faced with overwhelming numbers. If they're enough of them, they will have strength.
So what's more frightening? The single inhumanly strong force (Vampire, Werewolf, Monster) or the weak in strength but strong in numbers pack (Zombies, Pods from Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the Borg from Star Trek)?
I vote for the pack. A single panther on the hunt is scary, like the hunter of the Predator movies, but can be defeated with a plan. A wolf pack however must be outlasted. There is no plan other than destroy, destroy some more, and keep destroying. Hopefully, before you die of exhaustion you will have destroyed them all. If not, you're dead. And that's your plan. That's one of the many reasons I believe Night of the Living Dead touched on such a nerve upon its release in 1968 (and no I'm not going to get into zeitgeist baloney about Vietnam): Because horror had for so long been based around a superhuman beast like Dracula or a mad killer like Norman Bates. But Living Dead gave us unthinking, unblinking multitudes. The fear was in the numbers. And isn't that what most of us fear the most? Do you fear a demagogic leader, or the unthinking, unblinking multitudes that will follow that demagogue and give him power? Unthinking multitudes with no plan, no strategy, just instinct. Relentless, driving instinct. It's always been a fear. It's always been a dread, deep down in those places we don't like to visit very often. And Romero was among the first to tap into it for all its horror was worth. Dracula as a character interests me and fascinates me but the living dead touch on something real. Something you can't think your way out of. You simply must outlast it. And endure.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

Playmobil toys give a child the world in the palm of their hand. For more than 25 years, Playmobil has been inspiring children to create their own adventures and let their imaginations soar! The cornerstone of Playmobil is the 2 3/4 inch figure. The figure has legs that bend, arms that move, and hands that grasp. It is perfectly sized for the hand of a child and the pleasant facial expression makes it ideal for any play situation. Unique themes that stimulate imagination and creativity have earned Playmobil numerous awards. But what's the real magic behind Playmobil? Since all Playmobil figures are compatible with Playmobil play worlds, accessories and vehicles, it's not unusual to see a knight helping with chores on the farm or a police officer exploring the ocean in a submarine. Now that's imagination!
Sorry, there are no products to display.
It's that time of year again! Gearing up for school and finding just the right backpack and all the coolest stuff to fill my pencil box was such a fun time for me growing up. A brand new
note book full of blank pages always felt like a fresh start, and brought to
mind a whole school year's worth of possibilities. This year we're sharing our
favourite finds to help bring FUN back to school…

Interview: How To Go Further With Jeremy Jones
It won't surprise you to hear that Jeremy Jones is really good at snowboarding. What might surprise you is that Jones, at 37 years old, is riding the most serious terrain he's ever ridden, a product of 25 years reading the mountains and building his skill set. That should give any rider cresting into middle age hope that the best days are still yet to come. But what's the key to making sure that happens? Stay at your fighting weight. Protect your days on the hill. Don't be afraid to back down when it's not the right conditions. Don't ride through pain. Get out of the resort and splitboard more. And don't bomb frozen moguls. Follow these directions, and your biggest days won't be at 25, but at 35, 40, even 50 years old.
Interview by Ryan Dunfee
Jeremy Jones summits a peak this past spring in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska while filming for his two-year snowboard movie Further. Photo by Chris Figenshau.
As I've had more success, I've had to deal with more business. When you're coming up trying to make it as a pro, no one's asking you to do anything, and you get to snowboard all day, everyday, and go home and get ready for the next day. As you have success, you start getting pulled in all different directions. You have to really protect your days on the hill. … I've always been pretty good about blowing off the real world and prioritizing snowboarding everyday, and I'm still really good at doing that.
From a risk perspective, I'm much more selective on the days that I hit serious lines, but I'm riding bigger, more serious terrain than I've ever ridden. I've always tried to stay away from secondary exposure… and in general, I've gotten really good at turning my back on the mountains and backing down and waiting ample time for lines. I turn back way more than I used to.
For me, I've been able to look at guys that are 10 or 15 years older than me, you know, Laird Hamilton-type guys (48), or Jim Zellers (47) or Tom Burt (48) who all continue to kick my ass in the mountains and I see that people have gotten smarter about how to get in shape, how to recover, what's going to hurt you down the road, what's not, etc. Having these phenomenal athletes who are farther down the road than me, and studying them, has been a huge help for me.
You have to stay fit. Weight is a huge deal with a lot of people. There's a lot of people that put on an extra 10 or 20 pounds [as they get older]. That's going to do more harm than anything. That's that much more stress on your ligaments. Trying to stay at your fighting weight is something that is really important.
Jeremy Jones drops in to a line this past spring in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska. Photo by Jeff Hawe.
I'm also being really selective on airs and charging in hard snow. I ride a lot of hard snow, but I'm not bombing hard moguls like I used to. That kind of abusive riding will catch up with you. I can watch a lot of guys who are 25 and know that unless they change their riding style drastically, it's only a matter of time before they start getting injuries. That's, generally, just guys going big to flat and stomping flat landings. That eventually catches up with you, and as soon as you have an injury, you blow your knee or wreck your back, it becomes very hard to go back to being able to go 40 feet to flat again.
I listen to my body and I don't push it. If I'm in pain, I really back off my riding. I won't ride through pain.
I spend so much time splitboarding now that I actually have a lot less aches and pains than I used to have 10 years ago. … I used to ride about 70 percent resort freeride days, and even on pow days there's still a lot of abuse if you're riding in-bounds. [While splitboarding] it's generally smooth conditions, it's not a lot of chattery, hard, moguly conditions. And [by virtue of splitboarding], the vert I'm getting in a season is way down.
The stuff I'm doing now, I couldn't have gotten here five years sooner. I look for terrain and mountain scenarios that require my full skillset, and I'm doing stuff now that I couldn't have done even two years ago. I've spent a lot of time progressing in steep terrain, and you can't ever skip steps. It's so much about reading the mountains — the riding is almost secondary.

Recently released with a host of updates, Martin Professional's Maxedia Digital Media Composer is enjoying a season on a number of top tours, special events and television productions, just after coming off a Eurovision 2006 show in which 20 Maxedias were networked for one of Europe's top television events.
Kelly Clarkson, Sting, Reba McEntire, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzfest 2006, American Idols Live!, Ricky Martin, New Cars, Moody Blues, George Strait, Poison/Cinderella, Gianna Nannini, and Hilary Duff are just a few of the top names using Maxedia manipulated effects on their 2006 tours.
Several special events and television studios are also benefiting from the digital media server's ease of use including VH1 Rock Honors, JC Penny Jam, VH1 Decades, KODO, GLEC Worldwide, and the PokerDome Series, as well as various TV shows such as NBC's top game show, Deal or No Deal, and even permanent installations like Australia's Yaralla Sports Club.
Some of the above use Maxedia's new pixelmapping feature to drive large LED systems or in some cases to generate color effects for complete moving light systems. Maxedia, which has integrated DMX control, includes an extremely user friendly and intuitive graphical user interface that saves programming time and promotes user creativity. It offers several other advantages as well such as running up to 20 layers simultaneously while using as little as 24 DMX channels. It also offers 3D effects with unique real-time manipulation features.

JEFFERSONVILLE, IN (WAVE) - It seems like the best ideas are the ones that are the most simple. Think about all of the things that have caught on and become wildly popular but seem so basic. A Jeffersonville man hopes he has the next big thing on his hands, an idea that came to him by simply trying to make his children's bike ride better.
Some old plastic bottles, a couple of pieces of aluminum and a girl's bike become a treasure when in the hands of Joe Clevinger. His daughters were fascinated by bikes with a bit of a bigger bang.
"There were a couple of Harleys coming down the road and they heard that loud rumble coming through there and they were trying to figure out how to do it on their bike," said Clevinger.
So dad thought back to, "when I was a boy growing up. I tried everything in the world to put a card on there. We had fenders on our bikes where you could hook a clothespin."
Then he got creative, inventing the wheel popper. Now the bikes of Brianna, Jasmine and Joanna attract attention wherever they go and the buzz is spreading.
"When all the other kids in the area were coming up and saying, 'Where did you get that at,' 'Where did you get that,' 'Where can I get one of those?' ... I thought, 'Well if they're interested in them, then it might be worth something to pursue,'" Clevinger said.
Clevinger has given the wheel popper to a few lucky kids in the neighborhood, but his thoughts now are more global, entering contests to put the wheel popper in position to pop up on store shelves.
"I'm hoping for the best," said Clevinger. "You know, basically I'm doing it for the girls and trying to teach them something to show that with a little bit of imagination, you can put something together and come up with an idea."
Clevinger doesn't know if this is his million-dollar idea or one that will earn any money at all, but he says he's already gotten the best reward.
"It won't create world peace and it won't end world hunger, but it sure does put a smile on the kids' faces," Clevinger said.
This is not Clevinger's first foray into invention. He actually designed a modified pick axe to cut into the ground help make it easier to remove stumps from the yard. The Earth Axe is sold now at some area hardware stores. Clevinger believes the wheel popper has the potential to be much bigger than that.
We'd like to thank our partners at the News and Tribune for giving us a heads up on this story.

Ever wonder what goes on in the kitchen of your favorite restaurants? We've gathered details about the Tampa Bay restaurants that received the most violations during inspections conducted from March 3-7, 2014.
Each restaurant is shown in the slideshow above. The total number of violations the restaurant received is shown in the plate on the left side of the slide. Some details from the inspection report are listed below the slide.
While researching this article we found that one restaurant received violations so serious, the restaurant was closed. On March 5, inspectors temporarily closed the Parthenon Cafe at 9393 Florida Ave. so the staff could fix the violations. The restaurant received a total of 35 violations.
Inspectors discovered the restaurant had some problems with rodents. Inspectors found nine dead rodents. One was found dead under a cooler. A rodent was found decaying under a freezer. One dead rodent was found behind a cooler. One decaying rodent was found on a sticky pad (a rodent catching device). A decaying rodent and a fully decayed rodent were found under a cooler on the cook's line. One rodent was found under a cooler on the cook's line. Two dead rodents were found on a sticky pad under another cooler.
Inspectors mentioned that they found a total of 110 rodent droppings at various locations in the kitchen and they also saw rodent gnaw marks along the walls and ceilings.
The restaurant also received a violation because inspectors observed ants on a prep table.
The Parthenon Cafe also had some problems when it came to storing food at safe temperatures. Inspectors say American cheese and potatoes were being held at temperatures greater than 41 degrees. Eggs were being stored at room temperature greater than 45 degrees. Eggs were also found stored with cracks or broken shells.
The restaurant's license was also expired.
On March 6, inspectors returned to the Parthenon Cafe and found fewer violations. Of the 19 total violations, none were for rodents, ants, or food being held at improper temperatures. Most of the violations were classified as "basic" and involved the improper storage of supplies.
See the March 5 inspection report https://www.myfloridalicense.com/inspectionDetail.asp?InspVisitID=5011792&id=2189469
See the March 6 inspection report https://www.myfloridalicense.com/inspectionDetail.asp?InspVisitID=5202073&id=2189469
The restaurants included in this week's Restaurant Ratings report are listed below, along with their addresses.
Inspectors from Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation conducted the inspections. The department cited violations of Florida's sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code.
While most establishments correct all violations in a timely manner (often during the inspection), the division's procedures are designed to compel compliance with all violations through follow-up visits, administration action or closure when necessary, according to the Florida DBPR website.

Source Newsroom: University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston
Newswise — To address the forecasted public health workforce shortage, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) and The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio have created a four-year Doctor of Medicine (M.D.)/Master of Public Health (M.P.H) program.
Researchers from The University of Texas School of Public Health, part of UTHealth, and the School of Medicine at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio, assessed the four-year dual degree program based in San Antonio for its perceived impact, student satisfaction and areas for improvement. "In medically underserved regions like South Texas, in the face of rising national and local public health threats, there is an urgent need for well-trained public health and prevention-oriented physicians," said Sharon Cooper, Ph.D., professor and regional dean at the UT School of Public Health San Antonio Regional Campus.
Results from the assessment are published in the April issue of Texas Medicine.
The academic partnership is the first in Texas to offer a four-year M.D./M.P.H. degree program. The program provides a means of addressing critical problems such as obesity, diabetes, infectious diseases, environmental health concerns and border health issues.
"This dual degree program is an important option for all medical students as a means of addressing pressing health issues in our society," said Cooper. "The program can train students in public health as well as medicine in order to address the predicted public health workforce shortage." The Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) forecasts a need for an additional 250,000 public health workers, including public health physicians, by 2020.
"Students in the program are able to engage in discussions with other medical school students about the public health perspective of medicine, which has the ability to enhance everyone's education." said Claudia Miller, M.D., M.S., professor and assistant dean for the program at the School of Medicine in San Antonio. "In addition, savings in time and money are advantages of the program."
Cameron Culver, a student in the first M.D./M.P.H. class said, "Within the first year, many students felt that the dual degree program had already shifted our perspectives in career- and life-changing ways." Culver has been named the incoming chair of the American Public Health Association's Student Assembly.
The Institute of Medicine defines a public health physician as one whose training, practice and world view are based in a large part on a population focus rather than individual practice. A public health physician assures the availability of essential public health services to a population using skills such as leadership, management and education as well as clinical interventions.
There are currently more than 75 M.D./M.P.H. programs across the country; however, less than 10 offer a curriculum that can be completed in four years, according to Cooper. The UT School of Public Health currently offers five-year M.D./M.P.H. degrees with The University of Texas Medical School at Houston and Baylor College of Medicine.
In addition to traditional courses, online courses allow students to begin their public health studies prior to beginning their medical school curriculum. According to Cooper, this contributed to the viability of the program. M.P.H. classes focus on five core disciplines: biostatistics, epidemiology, environmental health, health administration/policy and health behavior. Students may also choose an M.P.H. concentration in global health.
For more information on the program, visit: http://www.sph.uth.tmc.edu/sservices/prospective.aspx?id=5511 or call the UT School of Public Health San Antonio Regional Campus at (210) 562-5500.

Nobody likes paying taxes, but some folks in Beaufort could soon be paying more. It's all connected to property values and the housing market.
City officials say taxes might go up because property value might go down.
Early estimates have the city's property tax base decreasing from more than $62 million to $58 million. Based on those numbers, it appears the average property in the city will decrease in value by 5.62 percent.
If those estimates are true, city manager Scott Dodson said that would leave the city short on revenue, and the city will have to make that up some how. One of those ways is by raising property taxes.
The city says another option is increasing the fee for business licenses.
The city won't have exact number until the final reassessment data is in, which will be after April 1. Then, they will be able to provide information about how much your taxes may increase.

After months of clamoring for a ramped-up police presence following a spike in crime, Coconut Grove residents are getting what they asked for: A new Miami police substation will open in the heart of the West Grove Saturday.
This will be the Grove's first and only permanent police substation, at 3727 Grand Ave. There will be a community celebration at 10:30 a.m. Feb. 8 to commemorate the opening.
"The primary objective is to bring the police department closer to the community where they work. I think there's been a disconnect between the police department and the community," said Commander Manuel Morales, a neighborhood enhancement officer for Coconut Grove.
"We depend tremendously on the help that we get from the community to focus our efforts," he added.
The substation will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and will be staffed with narcotics and undercover operations expert Sgt. Albert Pacheco, four problem-solving team officers, five beat officers and two neighborhood resource officers.
Pacheco's assignment is no accident: "One of our main focuses is going to be to combat the sale and distribution of illegal narcotics in the West Grove," Morales said.
The substation is made possible by a $36,000 donation from the Sarnoff Foundation, a nonprofit founded in 2012 by District 2 City Commissioner Marc D. Sarnoff to raise private funds for civic projects. Additional donations were made by County Commissioner Xavier Suarez.
Sarnoff has been a vocal advocate for more police hires, demanding during the city's budget discussions that $10 million be allocated for raises and 100 new officers be hired. The city ultimately hired 25 new recruits.

DALLAS –– Of all the members of Congress who represent North Texas, just Sen. Ted Cruz would speak about the Senate plan that will avoid a national default and end a 16-day partial government shutdown.
"Unfortunately, once again, it appears the Washington establishment is refusing to listen to the American people," Cruz told News 8 from his Washington D.C. office. "The deal that has been cut provides no relief to the millions of Americans who are hurting because of Obamacare."
Cruz was part of the tea party-aligned lawmakers who forced the 16-day shutdown by demanding President Barack Obama gut his health care law in exchange for a bill to keep the government running. On Wednesday, Cruz blasted the Senate.
"What are we doing to provide real life to the people who are hurting because of Obamacare?," Cruz asked. "And unfortunately, today, the answer is the U.S. Senate and the Washington establishment is doing nothing."
Cruz and other senators agreed to not take any action to delay the bill, however. Fearful of the economic impact of a default, House Speaker John Boehner announced that his chamber would also not delay the bill's passage.
"We fought the good fight and just didn't win," he said.
A spokesman for Sen. John Cornyn, Cruz's senior colleague, said his office had not seen the final bill and would not comment until it came across the senator's desk.
Rep. Michael Burgess, R – Lewisville, also had not seen the actual language of the bill, nor had Rep. Marc Veasey, D – Dallas, or Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson, D – Dallas.
Other regional congressional members did not return messages requesting comment.
