Wow, I'm not only an iPhone expert but an Apple expert as well! I so want one. Fortunately, I'm in the market for a new cell phone so if I can't win it guess DH is gonna have to buy me one. Our anniversary is in two weeks so maybe I can get this for a present:)

Never once looked at Steve Jobs' feet, never even thought about them. I do wish him well with his new liver. Never thought about that either until recently... I have the new iPhone 3Gs for business and it is without question the best gadget out there, fun and useful and so cool in so many ways. Problem is my husband keeps playing with it. I can't write off another one and certainly can't afford it. Our 7th anniversary is coming in 2 weeks. Please let us win so we can avoid the 7 year itch (the iPhone claims to do everything, right?!) ;-P

Please use HTML for your online race ad. This permits race information, like almost everything else hosted on or linked from the NCNCA site, to be accessible from older computers as well as cell phones, PDAs, and other portable devices. The NCNCA publishes these accessibility guidelines so that riders will be able to lookup directions, start times, and other important information from any internet-connected device, including handhelds. This is not only handy while en route to a race, it also saves paper and last-minute phone calls.
Have your ad up at least 4 weeks, and preferably 8 weeks, before the race date. Notify email@example.com [1] as soon as it has been approved by the chief ref.
Please try to include all the key information on a single page, including start times, dates, fields, field limits, course info, directions, contact email address and phone numbers (as listed on the USCF permit), and entry fees.
Please do not use Flash for key page elements. Many racers own computers that are not supported by this Adobe product (old systems or new unix/linux 64bit, ...). Version incompatibilities are also a common problem. If you must use flash try to take advantage of its browser validation and provide an HTML alternative for readers that cannot view flash content.
Please do not use MS .DOC, .PPT or other proprietary formats. These non-web file formats have all the problems of Flash and PDF and put readers at risk of viruses and trojans.
If at all possible do not use PDF. The webmaster receives the largest number of complaints about PDF race info due to missing fonts, version incompatibilities, slow downloading, etc. If you must use PDF make sure it is version 5 compatible.
Please do host your own race info web page. Several registration companies will host your race info with the sign-up form at their website, however, we receive a lot of complaints of incomplete information, broken links, and poor reliability at these sites.
- Send pre-race announcements, for things like field limits filling, rain-cancellations, time or venue changes to the NCNCA email list [2]. This is the official location for late-breaking race news. A copy can also be sent to the webmaster [1] for the Updates [3] section of the road calendar, and posted to the Forums [4].
Send your results to firstname.lastname@example.com [5] as soon as they are final.
Use a standard results format: spreadsheet, CSV, HTML or text, without tables, javascript, asp/jsp/php or other "bells and whistles". We do need field sizes though not race, rider, or license numbers. Good examples can be found at: PinoleTTTResults [6]WenteCritResults [7]
, and
Please make it easy for us to archive results on the NCNCA website. We will link to results that are only found on the promoter's site, however, a large number of results are lost this way every year. Promoters change, webmasters change, file formats change, volunteers delete old files, etc. Good examples of results formats that cannot be easily archived include: www.seaotterclassic.com/2006/results_list.htm [8]www.carrerasanrafael.com/results.html [9]www.ncclassic.com/news.htm [10]berkeleybike.org/events/berkeleyhills_2006-results.html [11]www.mclanepacificcyclingclassic.com/grandprix_results [12]
, and
(see the HTML source, CTL-U, if it's not obvious).
If this sounds like a lot of work consider the volunteer and near-volunteer NCNCA webmasters, who receive requests and complaints every week, year-round. Consider too that riders, their friends and families, search engines, and who knows who else, will be looking for these results years and decades from now.

Black Bandhani Shirt, Skirt, and Pants
Buy the Black Bandhani Shirt and Skirt Set for $99.00, Buy the Black Bandhani Shirt and Pants Set for $99.00,
Bandhani is a tie-dyeing technique practiced mainly in western India. Intricate patterns are created by wrapping the fabric with string before dyeing it. When the fabric is untied, natural patterns appear in the places where the string prevented the dye from taking hold. Bandhani cloth is often used for women's shawls, but here the technique is adapted for a silky pair of travel-ready garments. Made of a black knit viscose rayon, these pieces drape beautifully and expand your travel wardrobe by working as separates or as a set. The shirt also features appliquéd circles of bandhani. Relaxed-fit, capri-length pants have an elastic waist.
For a complete travel ready-look, our Black Bandhani Shell coordinates perfectly with the Black Bandhani Shell also coordinates perfectly with the Black Bandhani Skirt, and the Black Bandhani Jacket makes a great additional layer.
Made in Jaipur, India.

By Traci L. Moyer The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — ANDERSON — Uncertainty surrounds a new law that requires people to have work search histories reviewed, in person, after four weeks of collecting unemployment benefits.
"The unknown is what the volume is going to be for us," said Greg Richmond, office manager for WorkOne, 222 E. 10th St., Suite B. "Based on the month of July, a year ago, we would have seen 160 people. If we get that kind of response, it is going to be a lot of traffic."
Richmond said the law, which went into effect on Oct. 1, will put people in touch with the services offered at the local WorkOne offices. WorkOne is a workforce development system that offers free employment services, education and training to job seekers.
Joe Frank, spokesman for the Department of Workforce Development, said the new state law is the same one the federal government required after claiming 26 weeks of unemployment benefits. Since 2010, the federal government extended unemployment benefits through weeks 27 to 63 for qualifying circumstances, he said.
"We noticed it was a very successful program," Frank said of the federal requirement. "We want people to get a good orientation of our WorkOne services so they can take advantage of them earlier."
Frank said some of the services offered through WorkOne include review of resumes and interview techniques.
"You will have to show you have searched for three jobs," he said. "We are really going to dig into their work search and see if we can give them some pointers."
Richmond said letters of notification are being sent this week to people who have collected four weeks of unemployment benefits. The first orientation and in-person work search review will be Oct. 16.
He said people will be required to bring a current government-issued picture ID and to log into Indiana Career Connect to review labor market information, complete a skills assessment and register to look for work.
Frank said if people are unable to make their scheduled visits they need to make sure they contact their local WorkOne office.
"Ultimately we will delay your benefits until you do get in," he said. "We are not trying to kick you off the program. We don't want to withhold your benefits, but we will require you to call us."
While the WorkOne services are always available, the in-person review of work search histories is only required once, Frank said.
He said the new law will also help to cut down on fraud.
"If we see they are not doing a bona fide work search, then we can cut them off," Frank said. "That is one of the added benefits — we are going to catch fraud."
WorkOne can help people complete their education with classes for the high school equivalency exam and provide training for certification programs. He said labor market information can also be provided if someone is considering changing their career path.
"That's what it is about, getting people back to work as soon as possible," Frank said.

Notifications All Hoosiers receiving unemployment insurance benefits will be notified by mail of the requirement, including the time and date of visit, what is required to bring to the visit and what to do prior to the in-person visit. All unemployed individuals must make sure their address is correct in Uplink, Indiana's online filing system to ensure the notice is received. If the in-person visit is missed, unemployment insurance benefit payments will stop. Source: www.in.gov/dwd

Synching Most-Recent Articles & Random Article
When a user chooses a "Section" (e.g. Finance) from the top menu, he/she is taken to a "Section Landing Page", which includes a listing of related "Sub-Sections" (Economy, Markets, Investing).
Under each "Sub-Section", there are two areas:
On the right will be a listing of the "4 Most Recent Articles" displayed as hyperlinks.
On the left, will be a "Featured Article" which will have a Thumbnail and Short Summary (designed to highlight the article).
Now on to my MySQL questions...
First, I need to retrieve the "5 Most Recent Articles". (Easy enough)
Code SQL:
SELECT a.heading, s.name, a_s.primary_section, a.published_on FROM article AS a INNER JOIN article_section AS a_s ON a.id = a_s.article_id INNER JOIN SECTION AS s ON s.id = a_s.section_id WHERE s.name = 'finance' AND published_on < '2012-01-15 00:00:00' ORDER BY a.published_on DESC LIMIT 5
Next, I want to randomly grab one of those records and use it for the "Featured Article" on the left.
Then, the remaining 4 Articles will be used in the right area.
(**The KEY is that the same Articles should never be displayed in both areas.)
Follow me?
Honestly, I'm not sure if this is a MySQL problem, or if I should be handling this with PHP, but I'll see what you guys think...

Saranac Lake rallies past Saranac to capture Class C title
CLINTONVILLE — Saranac Lake went into this season as the three-time defending Section VII Class C champion, but it had lost the majority of its starters and faced questions at quarterback.
But players filled new roles all season and sophomore quarterback Tristan Fitzgerald proved clutch, leading a scoring drive in the final minutes of Saturday's Class C final for a 30-28 victory over Saranac.
"For the fourth year in a row, it feels great," senior Dylan Gunther said after the game at AuSable Valley. "And I didn't want to be a part of a team that wasn't going to get the Class C championship, so it feels wonderful."
The Red Storm (5-4), who were seeded first in Section VII, move on to meet Section X champion Ogdensburg Free Academy Friday in Massena.
Although Saranac Lake trailed for much of the game, it took a 24-21 lead into the fourth quarter thanks to Dustin Fischer's 28-yard interception return for a touchdown early in the third.
But No. 2 seed Saranac fought back, putting together a short drive that ended with a 1-yard scoring run by John Maye with 4:23 left in the game. Paul Herrera's PAT gave the Chiefs a 28-24 edge.
The Red Storm got the ball back on their own 31-yard line and muscled their way to Saranac's 25, picking up four first downs along the way. Then Fitzgerald threw a perfect pass to Gunther on the left sideline, and Gunther sped to the end zone.
"I tried to sell it as best I could. We tried to fake the outside zone," Gunther said. "I tried to get open, and our quarterback threw a great ball. It was wide open. It put us on top."
The kick missed, and Saranac Lake clung to a 30-28 lead with 1:03 on the clock.
Gunther came up huge again, picking off a Saranac pass to seal the victory.
"I mean, what opportune plays at exactly the right time," Saranac Lake coach Eric Bennett said, referring to the game's two interceptions. "We worked very hard on getting our drops and high point of the ball because the last time we played them, they made some huge plays downfield in the passing game."
Gunther totaled 78 rushing yards and a touchdown to go along with his 85 receiving yards on five catches. Fitzgerald was 9-for-13 for 104 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran for 36 yards — 15 of those on the game-winning drive.
Trent Fitzgerald ran for a team-high 86 yards.
Running back John Maye led Saranac (4-5) to a 21-10 first-half advantage. Maye had touchdowns of three and 35 yards in the second quarter to put the Chiefs in front 14-7, and he added a 12-yard scoring run to make it 21-10 after Saranac Lake's Ty Marmion kicked a 22-yard field goal.
Maye took 33 of the Chiefs' 43 carries and rushed 219 yards, putting him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Ethan Goslin ran 64 yards and completed one pass to Ryan Kneussle.
Gunther ran 35 yards down the sideline for a Saranac Lake touchdown in the first quarter, and Dan Strack's touchdown catch put the Red Storm within 11 points 43 seconds before halftime.
The Red Storm lost to the Chiefs in a regular-season matchup two weeks ago, and then they dropped a crossover game. Bennett said they stayed relaxed and didn't panic despite trailing late in Saturday's game.
"We came into this game on a two-game losing streak. We'd been behind the last two games," Gunther said. "And we tried to battle as much as we could and not look at the scoreboard much. Tried to just play as a 0-0 game and tried to take the lead every possession we got.
"And when we looked up at that scoreboard at the end of the game, we had the lead."
Saranac Lake managed that lead even though two-way standout Lance Ackerson was sidelined with an injury.
"Anytime you lose a first-team (All-Star) outside linebacker, first-team fullback and your captain, that's a big hole to fill. But to our kids' credit — our t-shirts even said at the beginning of the year, 'Next man in,'" Bennett said. "For instance, Trent Fitzgerald ran the ball tremendously from that position (Saturday).
"So just proud of our kids. They work hard. They're resilient, and I think they're growing up a lot and it's great to see."

Sara Lee to close Milwaukee bakery plant
Sara Lee Bakery Group plans to cease operations at its Milwaukee plant by mid-October, leaving 105 employees without jobs, according to a report by bizjournals.com. The Clayton, Mo.-based division of Sara Lee Corp., Chicago, announced the planned shutdown in a notice with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development. Initial layoffs are expected to begin Sept. 16 and be completed by Oct. 15, according to the notice. Sara Lee''s Milwaukee plant, located at 918 W. Somers St., primarily manufactured Sara Lee and EarthGrains wide-pan breads for distribution in the upper Midwest. D''Italiano breads and buns and Sara Lee, Holsum and Gardner''s hot dog and hamburger buns also are produced at the facility. Sara Lee management said the company will transfer production to other Sara Lee bakeries in the region, including Dubuque, Iowa, and Rock Island, Ill. The company will continue to serve Milwaukee area grocery retailers with a full lineup of bread brands and products. Sara Lee Bakery also operates plants in Madison and La Crosse. A plant in Eau Claire was closed in 2003. Sara Lee also announced it is ceasing production at the company''s plants in Birmingham, Ala., and Redding, Calif., resulting in a loss of 65 jobs between the two facilities.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Gerrit Cole (RHP, UCLA)
As predicted by pre-draft rumors, the Pittsburgh Pirates selected UCLA ace Gerrit Cole with the first overall pick in the draft. A 6-4, 220 pound fireballer, Cole had an erratic season for the Bruins, going 6-8, 3.31 with a 119/24 K/BB in 114 innings.
But scouts remain entranced with him, focusing on his 95-99 MPH fastball, power slider, and excellent changeup.Despite his inconsistency this spring, his K/BB ratio was outstanding and reflects the excellent gains he made with his command and control in college. Although he showed a volatile personality in high school, he has emerged as a very positive makeup player and scouts have no doubts about his intangibles at this point. He's also smoothed out his delivery, enhancing his command.
Cole projects as a definite number-one starter in the majors. He turned down the Yankees as a first-round pick in 2008, 28th overall, and it looks like he made the right decision.

What the Nov. 6 results mean -- and don't mean
Lee didn't even endorse Prop. A until a few weeks before the election, and played almost no role in raising money or campaigning for its passage (see "Words and deeds," 9/11/12). Yet it got a higher percentage of the vote than any of the three measures that Lee actively campaigned for: Props. B, C, and E.
Then there's Prop. C, the Housing Trust Fund. Lee's office played a central role in drafting and promoting the measure -– but it wasn't exactly a Lee initiative. Prop. C came out of the affordable housing community, and Lee, who has strong ties to that community, went along. There were tough negotiations -– the mayor wanted more guarantees and protections for private developers -– and the final product was much more what the progressives who have spent decades on the housing front wanted than what the mayor would have done on his own.
The way the mayor envisioned business-tax reform, the city would have eliminated the payroll tax, which tech firms hate, and replaced it with a gross-receipts tax -– and the result would have been revenue-neutral. It was only after Sup. John Avalos and the progressives demanded that the tax actually bring in more money that the outlines of Prop. E were drafted and it received strong support from groups across the ideological spectrum.
"You had a lot of consensus in the city about these ballot measures," political consultant David Latterman, who usually works with downtown-backed campaigns, said at SPUR's post-election round-up.
The supervisorial races were a different story, with unprecedented spending and nasty messaging aimed at tipping the balance in favor of real estate and development interests. Mayor Lee didn't get directly involved in the District 1 race, but he was clearly not a supporter of incumbent Sup. Eric Mar.
The real-estate and tech folks who are allied with Lee spent more than $800,000 trying to oust Mar -- and they failed miserably, with Mar winning by 15 points. While Mar did have the backing of Chinatown powerbroker Rose Pak, who raised money and helped organize ground troops to help, Mar's victory was primarily the result of a massive outpouring of support from labor and progressive activists, many reacting to the over-the-top effort to oust him.
Mar, who voted to put Lee in office, won't feel a bit indebted to the mayor for his survival against a huge money onslaught. But in District 5, the story was a whole lot more complicated, and impact more difficult to discern.
Before we get into what happened in D5, let's dispel some of the simplistic and self-serving stories that circulated in the wake of this election, the most prominent being that Olague's loss -– the first time an incumbent was defeated in a ranked-choice election –- was payback for crossing Mayor Lee and voting to reinstatement Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi.
It's certainly true that Lee's allies went after Olague and supported London Breed, and that they tried to make an issue of domestic violence, but there was much, much more to this district election. Breed is an SF native with a compelling personal story who ran a strong campaign –- and that three strongest progressive candidates in the race each had major flaws that hurt their electability. By most accounts, the Olague campaign was a disaster until the very end. Equally important, the progressive community was divided over D5, leaving room for Breed to slip in.
"It's hard to unravel what happened here," Latterman said.
San Francisco Women for Responsibility and an Accountable Supervisor was an independent expenditure group fronted by domestic violence advocates and funded by more than $100,000 from the families of Conway and fellow right-wing billionaire Thomas Coates. It attacked Olague's Mirkarimi vote as being soft on domestic violence -- but it also did a last minute mailer criticizing Olague's vote for CleanPowerSF, muddling its message of moral outrage.
Would he have less power if he'd been elected by less, or more if by more? Either you're the Mayor or you're not.
I think by that criteria there will be very few landslides, then.
used is getting 60% or more in the final runoff. the last mayoral election gave Lee just over 60% when all candidates bar Avalos were discarded.
I've seen no evidence that a real runoff would have given a different result - 3 people chose Lee for every 2 that chose Avalos - that massive.
Whether a candidate gets less than 50% of the vote depends on how many are in the field as much as anything.
it would be if there was some way to filter out your habitual mendacity from this forum. The only positive aspect of it is that your lies are so transparent that it is a good object lesson for how dishonest the "moderates" are.
other candidates were eliminated had Lee at about 60.2% and Avalos at 39.8%
If you have a cite showing otherwise, please furnish it. But gainsaying me without offering an alternative is weak.
for engaging in dimwitted mendacity and the basic fingerprint of your nonsense is no doubt obvious enough to everyone, but:
And, by the way, owing to the persistent failure of the elections department to fully implement the instant run-off voting system passed by voters, there were a large number of "exhausted" ballots in the race -- over 50,000. These were almost entirely the ballots of voters who voted for more progressive, and mostly less-machine-connected (at least by perception) candidates such as Dennis Herrerra, Jeff Adachi, David Chiu, and Leland Yee and who *did* *not* vote for Lee.
If you factor in all those ballots as you trog types who persistently denigrate IRV do, Lee won less than 50 percent of the vote. He won fewer votes than did Ross Mirkarimi by every measure.
Fat difference that makes.
Oh, and your theory that the exhausted votes would have changed the outcome is ridiculous. They would have all had to have fallen to Avalos, but there is zero evidence that they would have fallen any way other than how the non-exhausted votes fell out.
The number 3 and 4 candidiates were for Herrera and Chui, and neither ran a particularly progressive campaign. The simple fact is that Lee won any which way and would have won under any system of voting.
IOW, a Landslide.
And, yes, I *did* demonstrate why according to basic logic that Lee garnered *far* less than "landslide" support even if ingoring the widespread vote fraud.
The fact that he ended up with a handful less than that does not make Lee's victory any less emphatic, and therefore doesn't alter my premise one iota.
No voting system could have given victory to a candidiate who was as far short of Lee as Avalos was.
switched their allegiance from Davis to Olague when the demaning revelations about Davis became public?
That was your biggest doozy of last week.
You might want to go back and look at the Clean Slate for the election. However, you're right that the Guardian ran a couple of pieces that unofficially endorsed Olague.
Olague like a syphilitic rash. They couldn't say enough good thigns about her. If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is.
The amount of people who read this blog pales in comparison to people voting off the Guardian slate card. Especially with it being D5, I wouldn't be surprised if Olague being on the slate card would have pushed her over the top.
A few probably do but then they'd probably vote for the left anyway. I doubt many undecided moderates read the SFBG let alone are that influenced by it.
And of course Olague lost despite being endorsed by the SFBG. While in 2010 the mayor and at least two supe races went against the SFBG slate.
If anything, a SFBG endorsement is a net negative for a candidate.
You just said Olague lost despite being endorsed by the SFBG. She wasn't endorsed by them. That was actually the point of my comment.
Take anecdotal evidence for what its worth (not much I know), but as a 20-something in this town I have a number of friends who are liberal but don't know anything about local politics. They all vote the Guardian slate for local races because they read the Guardian, basically agree with its editorial views on things, and don't follow local politics.
That being said I don't have any proof. A couple additional things I can think of include how the Guardian slate was able to take the DCCC in both 2008 and 2010 and that Campos was the Guardian's number one endorsement in D9 in 2008 and he ended up winning. Of course districts like 5 and 9 are going to be where more people read the Guardian, and therefore more likely to vote the slate, that's why I thought Olague's omission may have made the difference here. I wouldn't say that about a race in D10 for example.
when Davis's true nature was exposed and when Olague voted to bail out the hapless Ross. In the last couple of weeks SFBG shilled desparately for Olague, having previously criticized her for being a Lee/Brown puppet. She lost.
If you only know 20-somethings then you may see some influence from a left-wing organ like SFBG. As Churchill said: "if you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain".
Plenty to say, but anytime anyone drops that quote its time to bail.
Obviously Lee won over Avalos at the last election by "sizable margin" (quoting lilli), Breed won, Mar won and Olague will never win an election ever after voting in a Domestic Violence Abuser.
Avalos, Campos, Kim; will have an uphill battle in future elections when other candidates will only have to bring up the Mirkarimi reinstatement vote of a DV
The big losers, the SFBG and the Progressives that support Ross!
Credibility has all but disappeared along with integrity and dignity.
even while the State and Federal elections moved to the left. It takes a special kind of stupid to lurch right when the rest of the country lurches left, but somehow the SF Progressives managed it.
And that was only partly because Ross, Davis and Olague all self-destructed.

The Arkansas Razorbacks' search for Bobby Petrino's replacement continues, even if it still appears that Garrick McGee is the front-runner for the position. But that hasn't stopped Arkansas from reaching out to eminent names in the field, including Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, according to a Fayetteville TV station.
Carroll was reportedly contacted by Arkansas, but turned the school down. He has been in Seattle since 2010, when he left the USC Trojans to accept the head coaching position in the Emerald City.
Carroll's success at USC is well-documented, but Arkansas fans likely remember Carroll's Trojans teams better than most. In 2005 and 2006, USC handed Arkansas teams two beatdowns by a combined score of 120-31.
In addition to reporting that Carroll turned down Arkansas, the station reports that NFL Network analyst Steve Mariucci contacted Arkansas about the coaching vacancy. Mariucci was reportedly interested in the job earlier this week.

A new excuse for doing nothingNovember 20,2013The New York Times said the following in an editorial:
With unrestrained glee, Republicans are using the calamitous debut of the Affordable Care Act as their latest justification for undermining all of health care reform. But theyre not stopping there.
The Obama administrations fumbling is apparently a good excuse for them to do nothing on immigration reform, on a budget agreement, and on any other initiative coming out of the White House.
We dont want a repeat of whats going on now with Obamacare, said Eric Cantor, the House majority leader, explaining last week why party leaders would not allow the Senates immigration bill to come to a vote, or even to be the subject of negotiations.
Their opportunistic theme is clear: If you cant trust President Barack Obama on this issue, how can you trust him on anything else? Unquestionably, the White House handed them this gift through two kinds of incompetence: the technical failure of the health-exchange website, and the political failure of the president in falsely promising that no one would lose an insurance policy they already had.
But just as these blunders are not the end of the health reform, they will also, in the end, not stop the long march to immigration reform, more jobs or desperately needed improvements to education, transportation and other fundamental functions. The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, was right to urge Democrats on Sunday not to be knocked for a loop by the Republican feeding frenzy. Most people, she said on NBC News Meet the Press, still support progressive goals like guaranteed health insurance, a humane path to citizenship for immigrants, background checks for gun ownership and ending workplace discrimination.
Republicans want the country to believe that this months debacle shows the overall weakness of what Rep. Paul Ryan on Sunday called big government in practice. In fact, Americans have long been quite happy with big government programs, as long as they work. They dont like failure, and they hate being misled. But what people really care about is results, and once the health care website is working, millions will realize that what they are being fed by Republicans is largely bunk.
Millions of Americans will pay less next year for health insurance, or get it for the first time, because they will be eligible for the big government program known as Medicaid. Half of those who buy policies on the individual market will qualify for subsidies; they will get as good or better coverage than they had. And millions of people whose policies have been canceled or denied because of illness will now be insured.
What is the Republican alternative to this government program, flawed as it is right now? There is none. Party members simply want to repeal the health law and let insurers go back to canceling policies at the first sign of a shadow on an X-ray. They have no immigration policy of their own. They have no plan that will stimulate job growth. They are in favor only of shutdowns and sequesters and repeals, giving the public no reason to believe they have a governing vision or even a legislative agenda.
Over time, that will prove to be a far more serious failure than momentary incompetence. Democrats may be stumbling right now, but at least they are trying.MORE IN CommentaryAccording to a recent report in The Times, there is dissent at the Fed: An increasingly vocal...

Seahawks top Rams to finish 2012 perfect at home
Russell Wilson tied Peyton Manning's record for most touchdown passes by a rookie with 26, and Seattle finished the season 8-0 at home with a win over the Rams.
The Seattle Seahawks have finalized their contract with free agent defensive end Cliff Avril, adding another needed pass rusher along their defensive line. The contract, reportedly for two years, was finalized on Thursday.||||||| Avril immediately addresses Seattle's need to add someone who can pressure the quarterback. Avril had 9 1/2 sacks last season, but the best of his five years with Detroit came in 2011. Avril had 11 sacks - good for seventh in the NFC - along with six forced fumbles and an interception. His long, lean frame fits the mold of the type of defensive ends that Seattle coach Pete Carroll wants.
A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that Avril and the Seattle Seahawks have reached agreement on a deal that addresses one of Seattle's big offseason concerns.||||||| The agreement was reached on Wednesday and is still pending a physical. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the team had not announced the deal. NFL.com first reported the deal. Avril immediately helps Seattle's most glaring offseason need in adding depth along the defensive line. Seattle is unsure of the status of defensive end Chris Clemons due to a knee injury suffered against Washington in the playoffs.
Avril (back) is probable for Monday's game at Chicago.||||||| Avril suffered the injury last week against Minnesota.
Avril left Sunday's game against Minnesota with a back injury.||||||| Avril slipped awkwardly while rushing the quarterback in the fourth quarter and lost his footing. He remained down for a little while being tended to on the field, but he was able to walk off gingerly. He also missed the start of Detroit's next defensive series.
Avril has reported to Detroit Lions training camp. Detroit Lions spokesman Bill Keenist confirmed Avril signed his tender Sunday morning.||||||| Avril will make $10.6 million this season as franchise-tagged player. He didn't report with his teammates to training camp on July 26 and missed more than a week of practice. Avril is the only NFL player with at least 19 1/2 sacks, nine deflected passes, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries the previous two years.

East Lancashire celebrates royal wedding
5:00pm Friday 29th April 2011 in Mellor
WEDDING Kate Middleton and Prince William are married by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey
Prince William and Kate Middleton are now married - and East Lancashire's street party celebrations are well underway.
The couple, who will one day be king and queen, are now HRH the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after the ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
Across East Lancashire, there are 61 official street parties where road closure orders have been obtained by residents.
More than 700 people tucked into sausages, burgers, pizza and ice cream at the party in Church Lane, Mellor.
The beginning of the event was signalled by the ringing of the church bells and it was officially opened by the Mellor Rose Queen, Eve Summersgill at 2pm.
Graham Tipper, from the street party committee, said: "It has been a tremendous day so far and everyone is really enjoying themselves.
"The party atmosphere is fantastic."
Raynor Pepper, organiser of a party in Lindsay Park, Worsthorne, said: "It's been a bit stressful, you don't realise everything that goes in to organising a street party.
"It was well worth it though, we had around 150 people attend and we had a sack race, lads and dads football, karaoke, egg and spoon race, bingo and even dads dancing.
"It has been a bit windy but we managed to get through it, there has been a real community spirit."
Around New Bank Road, Blackburn, hundreds of people are attending a street party organised by members of the Muslim community with magic shows, children's games, a live rock band, as well as food, bunting - and community leaders in stocks.
Catherine Murphy, who owns Bacup Hub off Burnley Road, let the Bacup Community Association use the building for a free knees-up, and declared it a big success.
Around 60 people attended, with many watching the ceremony on two big screens and projecters inside and outside the hall.
Catherine said: "There was a sweetie hunt for the children and a very good buffet put on by the association chairman Dave East.
"There was a real jovial atmosphere, with people as pleased to have a day off work as they were patriotic.
"The high point was when everyone cheered at the kiss."
More than 60 residents tucked into vol-au-vents and salmon sandwiches at a get-together in Abbeyfields and Abbots Croft, Whalley.
Residents gathered under a marquee with tables brimming with sweet treats including cakes and trifles.
Gill Taylor, said: "It's been a bit blustery but everybody is having a lovely time.
"The road is closed so the children have taken the opportunity to ride around on their bikes.
"They are having loads of fun and it has been great for the new residents as welll as they have got to know loads more people."
Luke Hamleton, 32, and his partner Nicola Owen, 28, organised a street party in Witton Street, Brierfield.
Luke said: "Getting ready for the party has been a long process but one that has been very worth it.
"It's been great to get all the neighbours together as we often don't say more than a fleeting hello.
"I remembered the Jubliee and we wanted to create some of our own magic."
Jacqueline Cronshaw, 42, of Garfield Street, Accrington, said their small terraced street had been transformed into a sea of colour.
Along with bunting and flags, the party saw guests arrive kitted out in Union Jack and princess costumes, which were completed with the party's face painting activities.
She said: "Today has been really exciting for the children and the street has been filled with people. It's not just the neighbours because all the extended families have come too.
"We have got going with really traditional games for the children like pass the parcel and egg and spoon races.
"We've had a great barbecue on as well as a buffet and everyone is smiling and having a ball".
The royal wedding began just after 11am in front of a congregation of 1,900 at Westminster Abbey and a potential global television audience of up to two billion.
Miss Middleton, resplendent in an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail designed by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen, arrived at the abbey on time.
Her bridal flowers contained a tribute to her husband-to-be - her bouquet included sweet William.
Hundreds of thousands of well-wishers flocked to the processional route from the abbey to Buckingham Palace, ready to catch a glimpse of the happy couple.

The 'New Labour' brigade for instance. They really must be feeling rather let down after not being invited to the royal wedding celebrations. But perhaps the reason is because of the royalty military connections and the lives lost because of New Labour perhaps?
Chin up Jack, you've gotten away with the Iraq war disaster so far so just pretend your not boverd!

No: they are now TRH - Their Royal Highnesses and it is not certain that they will become king and queen. Given the longevity of Charles' parents, the first-in-line seems likely to wait a while before his reign. Catherine and William may suffer some mishap along the way - consider the history - or they may not, but we don't know.

why did I only get £84 for matching 4 numbers in the Eurobillions Lottery...
and £6.50 on the other ticket..
my winning £13Millions would have ended my poverty...
I would be so rich that I could afford to buy a copy of the Lancashire Telegraph, instead of reading it online.
I'd buy a pub, a brothel and pizza shop. Phone my Boss, on a reverse charged call and tell him to shove it..
build a mosque, without planning permission, then invite the EDL, to burn it down.
bribe a politician, to be totally truthful, when questioned...
buy Boris Johnson a colouring-in book and crayons...
a sundial, that works in the dark..
hire somebody with a strange accent, to answer the phone, when that bloke called Dave in Mombai rings me at 3am.
take up alarm clock shooting, as a pastime..
if only I were rich..
if only...
I only have a candle, a needle and bit less than a pound of Stork..
if you own a porcupine, let's meet...
and improve our chances.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 30, 2012 CONTACT: Pamela Weaver, (601) 270-4100
Statement by Secretary Hosemann on Sowers v. State of Mississippi:
"I applaud the Supreme Court, the Attorney General and Tunica County District Attorney Brenda Mitchell for upholding our most important right—the right to cast a ballot in a free and fair election. In this case, Ms. Sowers was convicted of casting absentee ballots for individuals who never requested an absentee ballot or were dead.
There are those who would argue voter fraud does not exist in Mississippi. This is a prime example that not only does voter fraud exist, but those who are found guilty will be prosecuted and their prosecutions upheld. Voter fraud will not be tolerated in our State."
In 2012 approximately 8.3% absentee ballots were cast in the Presidential Election.
