Good morning desertflower…

Good morning Linda….
Happy Friday to you!
I use to listen to Eugene R., and then I just couldn't take the sounds of ummmm, ahhh, etc. No matter what his opinion was, he came back around and agreed with the jokester and the sidekick mika. Why say anything if all you are going to do is agree with their craziness?
Personally I can get past the umm and the ahhhh, but what I can't get past is that Eugene Robinson constantly let Joe punk him at every turn.
Is Tom Coburn pulling a Trent Lott ? Leave two years prior to the end of your term so you can become a lobbyist sooner ?
He's fighting a battle against cancer. Let's get him the benefit of the doubt…
Oklahoma Senator Coburn, battling cancer, to step down at year end
I don't wish cancer on anybody, but I do wish that everybody had the same resources as Senator Coburn does to fight this disease.

We've built the world's most comprehensive career test. Our questionnaire measures over 180 traits to match you against 500+ careers. Our mission is to help you find your calling in life.Take the Sokanu Career Test
Curators oversee collections, such as artwork and historic items, and may conduct public service activities for an institution. Most work in museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, or historical sites. Those who install and restore exhibits may be required to climb, stretch, and work with bulky objects.
Would you make a good curator? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
The work of a Curator typically involves the following:
Many objects and documents are important or historically significant. Curators preserve and organize the display of these materials.
Curators manage museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, nature centers, and historic sites. The museum director often is a curator. Curators direct the acquisition, storage, and exhibit of collections, including negotiating and authorizing the purchase, sale, exchange, or loan of collections. They also may authenticate, evaluate, and categorize the specimens in a collection. Curators often oversee and help conduct the institution's research projects and related educational programs.
Today, an increasing part of a curator's duties involves fundraising and promotion, which may include writing and reviewing grant proposals, journal articles, and publicity materials. In addition, many curators attend meetings, conventions, and civic events.
Most curators specialize in a particular field, such as botany, art, or history. Those who work in large institutions may be highly specialized. A large natural history museum, for example, might employ separate curators for its collections of birds, fishes, insects, and mammals. Some curators take care of their collections, some do research related to items in the collection, and others do administrative tasks. In small institutions with only one or a few curators, one curator may be responsible for a number of tasks, from taking care of collections to directing the affairs of the museum.
Most museums require curators to have a master's degree in an appropriate discipline of the museum's specialty—art, history, or archaeology—or in museum studies.
Some employers prefer that curators have a doctoral degree, particularly for positions in natural history or science museums. Earning two graduate degrees—in museum studies (museology) and a specialized subject—may give candidates an advantage in a competitive job market.
In small museums, curator positions may be available to people with a bachelor's degree. Because curators, particularly those in small museums, may have administrative and managerial responsibilities, courses in business administration, public relations, marketing, and fundraising are recommended. For some positions, applicants need to have completed an internship of full-time museum work, as well as courses in museum practices.
Students interested in further study might get a master's degree in museum studies. However, many employers feel that, although a degree in museum studies is helpful, a thorough knowledge of the museum's specialty and museum work experience are more important.
Because most curators work in museums, zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, nature centers, and historical sites, their working conditions vary. Some spend their time working with the public, providing reference assistance and educational services. Some curators conduct research or process records, which reduces the opportunity to work with others. Those who restore and set up exhibits or work with bulky, heavy record containers may lift objects, climb, or stretch.
Curators in large institutions may travel extensively to evaluate potential additions to the collection, organize exhibits, and conduct research. However, for curators in small institutions, travel may be rare. Most curators work full time.

Production Resource Group has acquired A-1 Audio Inc., prominent in the field of audio systems and, more recently, lighting systems, for concert touring.
A-1 Audio joins ProMix, Electrotec, and Burns Audio in PRG's Audio Group. With this acquisition, the group now offers a truly national service with key locations including New York, Orlando, Nashville, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, PRG says. It is also prominent in London.
"Our depth--in geography, personnel, and areas of expertise--is now unprecedented," says Lew Mead, PRG Audio Group president. "Our group consists of some of the best people in their fields. We now have a strong presence in Broadway theatre, concert touring, special events, television, corporate theatre, and installations."
A-1 Audio was founded in 1969 by Albert V. Siniscal as an outgrowth of his work for early 1970s tours with the Righteous Brothers and the Doobie Brothers. Says Siniscal, "We are proud to be part of the PRG Audio Group. We will now be able to provide the same quality service for the next 30 years that we have for the past 30."
Siniscal will continue on as a senior advisor to the PRG Audio Group. Gary Hardesty, Ted Leamy, and Tom Sorce will make up the core of the leadership team for the group's West Coast audio operations.
PRG, which christened its massive Las Vegas facility with a cocktail bash during April's NAB show, has made some other announcements. Sam Spennacchio, formerly the national sales manager of Crest Audio, has been hired as president of Northeast operations for Signal Perfection Ltd. (SPL), the cornerstone of the PRG Systems Group. Electronics systems contractor Ancha Electronics has been added to the systems group, joining SPL and Thoughtful Designs. And Minneapolis-based design and fabrication firm HaasMultiples, which PRG acquired last December, has changed its name to Entolo and added offices in New York, Las Vegas, and Houston for client convenience.

SWINDON TOWN: Town confirm sale of club
Updated 8:02pm Thursday 21st February 2013 in Sport By Sam Morshead
SWINDON Town have released a statement confirming that the Football League have formally approved the sale of the club to new owners.
The statement reveals that Seebeck 87 Limited, the company backed by Jed McCrory's consortium, has acquired more than 99 per cent of the shares in the club.
It was originally expected that Andrew Black would retain 15 per cent of his shareholding.
Chief executive Nick Watkins is to be kept on by the incoming owners, with Sir Williams Patey, Andrew Black and Russell Blackhouse stepping down from the club's board of directors.
They will be replaced by new chairman McCrory, Steve Murrall, Gary Hooper and Callum Rice.
The statement reads: "The Board are delighted to announce they have now received clearance from the Football League and have completed of the sale of Swindon Town Football Club to Seebeck 87 Limited, a company backed by a consortium headed by Jed McCrory.
Following completion, which has seen Seebeck 87 acquire more than 99% of the shares in the Club, Sir William Patey, Andrew Black and Russell Backhouse have stepped down from the Board. The Club's new board, chaired by Jed McCrory, retains Nick Watkins and welcomes new members Gary Hooper, Steve Murrall and Callum Rice.
Sir William Patey, outgoing Chairman, said: "Andrew Black and the outgoing Board leave Swindon as leaders of League One, with a good chance of back to back promotions to the Championship. The quality of our squad is the legacy of the very considerable investment that has been made, and I believe the benefits of this will continue to be enjoyed by fans for seasons to come. Notwithstanding all the challenges faced, we have comprehensively accomplished Andrew's key objective of passing the club onto the new owners in a good state of heath.
"Despite the manager walking out on the Club, its players and its fans the day before a vital game, Tuesday night saw a wonderful performance from the team under incredibly difficult circumstances. The Club's position at the top of the table is a testament to the efforts of those who will now go forward with the new owners. Losing our manager is obviously a disappointment but, as the result at Tranmere shows, Swindon is bigger than any one person.
"Certain members of the backroom technical staff have also left the Club, following the departure of the manager. In the interim, the Club has appointed Darren Ward and Tommy Miller as caretaker managers to handle the training and the lead up to Saturday's game against Preston North End.
"I have greatly enjoyed my brief but demanding tenure as Chairman and look forward to enjoying Swindon's achievements in the future. I wish the fans, players, management and new owners every success."
Jed McCrory, new Chairman, said: "This is a tremendously exciting time to be taking charge of Swindon Town Football Club. We are aware of the responsibilities we face taking custody of a Club with the heritage of Swindon and we take these responsibilities very seriously. We will do everything possible to ensure the sustainable long-term future of this fantastic football club.
"Following the resignation of Paolo Di Canio and members of his backroom staff, we have now begun the search for a top class manager and coaching team. We will not rush in to any decision, as we must select the right team to preserve our status at the top of the League. Once these new appointments are made, we will also seek to further strengthen the squad for the rest of the season. We will endeavour to keep fans as up to date with news as appropriate.
"On behalf of my fellow Directors and football fans, I am delighted to announce this agreement, and I look forward to seeing many of the fans at The County Ground through the rest of the season, one that I hope will bring Championship football back to Swindon."

Good riddance to Patey, Welcome McCrory (Jury still out on your guys), and so long DiCanio.
The only mistake you made was THE WAY you left the team at the top of the league, and i sincerely hope that decision doesn't come back to haunt you.
If my employers treated me like that, i would've walked too, its just we expected you to stick two fingers up and fight them to do it your way!

Thanks awin. I think I phrased this question incorrectly. I guess the question really is, is the 24 105 a good lens for a wedding photographer or should I save up the money for the 24 70 (partially be selling the 24 105)?
I am a wedding photographer, and I have a two-part kit for events.
Core zooms:
17-40 f/4L USM
24-105 f/4L IS USM
70-200 f/2.8L IS USM II
This is an excellent general purpose combo.
I frequently find myself at receptions where the room is really dark. Even worse, it's become trendy to paint the ceiling black, so bounce flash is just about useless. One stop in my core zoom lens isn't going to help me a whole lot here, really. So for those situations, I have my fast fixed lens kit:
24mm f/1.4L II
50mm f/1.4
85mm f/1.8
I find this setup to be much more flexible and usable in even the darkest venues. While an f/2.8 zoom is a very nice lens to have, in the dark places I shoot, it's just not fast enough. In places where it is, f/4 is usually just as good, especially when it has IS.

Survivor lets go of rage, 67 years later
By GIL SHEFLER
04/18/2012 18:46
Batsheva Dagan says she is amazed to reread the 'fire and brimstone' letter she published in a 1945 edition of the 'Post,' addressed to a notorious Nazi female guard at the Auschwitz death camp.
Irma Grese, a notorious female guard at Auschwitz, the Nazi death camp where Rubinstein was a prisoner for two years, was on trial, and the survivor wanted to see her former tormentor writhing in pain. So
she penned a piece
describing Grese's iniquity in detail, and the punishment she thought she deserved, and sent it to
The Palestine Post.
"We, your victims, do not want you to die," read the letter addressed to Grese, which the newspaper ran in full on October 29, 1945. "We would much rather that you live, as we had to, with billows of filthy black smoke from the chimneys of the crematoria constantly before your eyes.
We want to see you dragging heavy stones, barefoot and in rags. We want to see you beaten, cruelly and mercilessly as you, cruel and without mercy, beat us.
"We want you to go so hungry that you cannot sleep at night, as we could not. We want to see your blonde hair shaved off, as you made us shave our heads."
Last Monday, 66 years later, Batsheva Dagan – formerly Isabella Rubinstein – told
The Jerusalem Post
– formerly
The Palestine Post
– why she would not write the same letter today.
"Such a letter I would not be able to write and I'm amazed when I read it," said the diminutive woman in an interview held in the flower-filled living room of her apartment in Holon. "Its main issue was revenge, revenge, revenge."
In the decades since Dagan wrote her tirade, she has led a full and happy life. She married, raised a family, had a meaningful career as an educator and published prose and verse about her experiences during the Holocaust.
On Wednesday evening, the 87-year-old author will be among the six survivors honored by lighting a torch during the state ceremony for Holocaust Remembrance Day at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
Dagan is the first to admit she has been lucky.
"I even have a lucky number," she said and rolled up her sleeve revealing the number 45554, which the Nazis tattooed on her left arm as a means of identification. "It's a palindrome."
Dagan was born in 1925 in Lodz, the eighth of nine children. When the Nazis invaded Poland in September 1939, her large family scattered. One brother went to Palestine, another joined the Polish Brigade, others sought refuge in the Soviet Union. Dagan moved with her parents and younger siblings to the relative safety of the central Polish city of Radom.
"My father heard they were setting up a ghetto in Lodz and he didn't like the sound of it," she said, "so we moved to Radom and were spared being put in one for a little over a year."
But in 1940, a ghetto was set up in Radom and life suddenly became mean.
"You would not believe the deprivation, the lows that humans can sink to," she said.
Dagan joined the ghetto's resistance movement and on one occasion traveled under the guise of a gentile to Warsaw – where she personally delivered a dispatch to Mordechai Anielewicz, the heroic leader of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising – and then back again. When, in 1942, the Radom ghetto was about to be liquidated, she escaped using fake documents. She took on the identity of a non-Jewish maid and went to work for a family in Germany.
"I worked for a fervently Nazi family where I took care of two teenagers," she recalled. "Many years after the war I met them in Hamburg. The daughter was very cold to me, but the son was warm. They could not believe I survived."
Her ruse did not last long. Her real identity was discovered by the Gestapo and she was sent to Auschwitz in April 1943. There, she survived the worst horrors imaginable. She was given tasks like collecting prickly nettles, which were used to make tea, barehanded, and removing precious items from the bodies of those killed in the gas chambers. She survived by relying on the camaraderie of a group of eight women and a strict regimen of self-discipline.
"The most important thing was the suspension of gratification," she said. "Those who ate everything they had did not last but those who put a little on the side did better."
When the Red Army approached Auschwitz in January 1945, Dagan was forced on a death march to Germany, where she worked at two labor camps. Liberation came only in April 1945.
After the war Dagan quickly made aliya thanks to her husband, a British army soldier she met in Brussels. She was one of the first survivors of the Holocaust to arrive in Palestine, where she caught word of the trial of Grese, her former captor at Auschwitz.
"I wanted to travel to Germany to testify but the British, who ruled at the time, would not give me a travel certificate," she said. "So
The Palestine Post
's editor found me and asked me to write for them. It was a fire and brimstone piece. I could not write [something like that] today.
"Back then the urge for vengeance sought some release... nowadays I look for the human connection and I do not blame the younger generation for the sins of their parents or grandparents."
The incendiary letter to the
was the first in her literary career. She later wrote, in a much more subdued tone, children's books like
Chika The Dog in the Ghetto
Today the Siren Cried.
Dagan also wrote a collection of poems called
Imagination: Blessed Be, Cursed Be
, which was translated into English.
"Before my time is up I would very much like to see a new edition of one of my books appear," said the octogenarian, who is in good health. She said she "loves life" and is willing to "subscribe forever."
Despite the ordeals she lived through – the murder of her parents and siblings, the torture by the Nazis in the ghetto and the death camps, all of which she says is painful to speak of to this day – she remains an optimist.
Rubinstein, who sought aneye- for-an-eye punishment for Grese, has been mollified by Dagan, whose message of optimism permeates her writing.
"The Holocaust is not only horrors," said Dagan. "When I wrote for children about the Holocaust I had to give them a happy ending, and so I did. My stories always have a happy end."

Every page is packed with exquisite pieces and decorating ideas that have the creative side of my brain spinning with excitement. Though I would love to be able to click and buy an entire room as pictured, it is certainly out of my budget, and sometimes doing it yourself just isn't fun. So instead, I'm eying some key pieces and borrowing some decor ideas to help replicate the look on my own. Keep reading for seven ideas everyone can steal from the Fall catalog! Take a Step Back in Time What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure it's opulent, but 18th-century French furniture design, like the Mini Versaille Chair ($1,400), can provide a cozy nook for reading, resting, and just hanging out. Paired with more casual textiles, it's a look that can be replicated with either garage-sale or antique-store finds. 1 / 7 Reflect Your Surroundings What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Mirrors don't just have to hang on walls; they can take a central role in the room in terms of furniture. RH Baby & Child's new Ava Collection of weathered mirrored furniture looks great everywhere, from the baby's nursery to a big girls' room. Best of all, these pieces can grow with your tot and move around the home, as they look fabulous in virtually every room of the house. 2 / 7 Gray Is Here to Stay What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A year ago, we told you to welcome gray into the nursery. Now it's making an even bigger statement in the room. From upholstered canopy beds to tufted daybeds, gray is the new black when it comes to room design. 3 / 7 Give Them the World (in Their Bedroom) What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The new Voyager collection of desks, bookcases, nightstands, and more put the classic steamer trunk to work. The mix of brass and leather creates a warm look for any room, and the pieces will age with your tot. 4 / 7 Embrace the Industrial Look What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sure, you want to create a warm environment for your tot to rest, but that doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be filled with dark wood and colorful pieces. Industrial pieces, like this steel loft bunk bed ($1,000), pair nicely with warm linens and plush rugs to create a comfortable environment for kids. 6 / 7 Mix Metals What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Love the modern take on iron in the nursery as well as the traditional role of brass? Don't be afraid to mix them. The Winslow crib ($900) combines the two for a sweet and modern look for either a boy's or girl's room. 6 / 7 Papier-Maché Busts Are Not a Passing Fad What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's been a year since we first noticed an abundance of papier-maché animal heads showing up in kids' rooms. It looks like the trend is here to stay, as Restoration Hardware is now offering five different versions — all finished with white paper — to add an eco-friendly and trendy addition to the room. 7 / 7 202 0 6 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Kid RoomsRoom DecorDecorating Ideas To StealNurseriesEditor's PickRestoration Hardware Editor's Pick 10 Foundations We Love Under $10 4 days ago The Ups and Downs of Being a Back-to-School Parent 4 days ago Spaghetti Aglio, Olio, e Peperoncino 4 days ago A Melt-Proof Makeup Look That Can Withstand Sweaty August Days 6 days ago Grooming Gifts That Real Guys Are Actually Obsessed With 6 days ago 10 Essential Apps For College Students 1 week ago Link Love Mom forced to stop feeding baby homemade formula — BabyCenter Blog The easiest ways to save on organic food — The Stir A look inside Fergie's second baby shower — Celebrity Baby Scoop Danielle Jonas debuts her baby bump — People Moms & Babies 7 light and fresh recipes to take you through Summer — FitPregnancy Does where you live affect your risk for PPD? — The Bump Where to find the best deals on school supplies — Real Simple Now this is how you announce a pregnancy! — HuffPost Parents

Cell phones, laptops and tablets won't be allowed in Cook County courthouses starting Monday per an order by the county's chief judge who wants to make courthouses safer and protect people testifying in court.
Cook County Chief Judge Timothy Evans's order takes effect Monday, but there will be a three-month grace period.
The Circuit Court of Cook County and the Cook County Sheriff's Department will remind people entering a courthouse that communication devices are prohibited, Evans said in a statement released Friday. "It will be strongly suggested devices remain in the car," he said.
The Circuit Court is working to find a place for people using public transportation to put their devices, he said. If a person can't leave electronics in a car during the grace period, they can keep it as long as it is off. If anyone is caught using it, they could face charges.
Under the ban, prospective jurors, lawyers, people on official business, former judges, licensed attorneys, police officers, government employees, vendors and the media will be exempt.
Anyone caught with electronics that make audio or video recordings, including cell phones, laptops and tablets, could be charged with contempt of court once the grace period ends on April 15.
"We want to do everything we can to ensure that justice is properly done by preserving the integrity of testimony and maintaining court decorum," Evans said. "We understand this may be an inconvenience to some, but our primary goal is to protect those inside our courthouses and perhaps save lives in the process."
Judges informed Evans of concerns that people attending court proceedings were using cell phones to photograph witnesses, judges, jurors and prospective jurors, Evans said. People also appeared to be texting testimony to witnesses waiting their turn to testify outside the courtroom while others were attempting to stream live to media comments by judges from the bench, he said.
The ban is intended to send a strong message to gang members and others who attempt to intimidate witnesses, jurors and judges that such acts will not be allowed, he said. It does not affect efforts in the state to bring cameras and televise trials.
Thirteen courthouses are effected by the ban. The Richard J. Daley Center Courthouse is exempt since the ban will affect only courthouses where criminal matters are heard, the release stated. Courthouses affected are:
The George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building at 2600 S. California Ave., Chicago
The Cook County Juvenile Center, 1100 West Hamilton Ave., Chicago
The Domestic Violence Courthouse, 555 West Harrison St., Chicago
The Second Municipal District Skokie Courthouse, 5600 Old Orchard Road, Skokie
The Third Municipal District Rolling Meadows Courthouse, 2121 Euclid Road, Rolling Meadows
The Fourth Municipal District Maywood Courthouse, 1500 Maybrook Drive, Maywood
The Fifth Municipal District Bridgeview Courthouse, 10220 S. 76th Ave., Bridgeview
The Sixth Municipal District Markham Courthouse, 16501 S. Kedzie Parkway, Markham
5555 W. Grand Ave., Chicago (First Municipal District criminal branches 23 and 50)
2452 W. Belmont Ave., Chicago (First Municipal District criminal branches 29 and 42)
155 W. 51st St., Chicago (First Municipal District criminal branches 34 and 48)
727 E. 111th St., Chicago (First Municipal District criminal branches 35 and 38)

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
To avoid getting the flu, or to lessen the severity, you should get a flu shot each fall, especially if you are 50 or older, have a chronic health problem, are a health care worker or live or work around the elderly. A flu vaccination is your best chance to protect yourself. However, while the vaccine has a 67 to 92 percent success rate in healthy adults and children, it may not be 100 percent effective, according to the American Lung Association, because the flu strain it protects against may not be the same as the one that is going around in your area. If you are allergic to eggs, or running a fever, don't get a flu shot without talking first with your health care professional. The flu shot has been shown to be completely safe during pregnancy, but again, discuss this with your health care professional.
Because your immune system takes time to respond to the flu shot, you should get vaccinated in early fall -- six to eight weeks before flu season begins. Flu season begins around October in the Northern hemisphere and April in the Southern hemisphere.
However, if you can't get vaccinated then, it is still worth getting vaccinated any time right up to the beginning of the flu season. You start to develop some immunity from the shot within a few days to two weeks.
The vaccine itself cannot cause flu, but you could become exposed and infected soon after vaccination, before antibodies develop, then come down with the flu and attribute it to the shot. You may also become exposed to viruses other than the influenza virus, which have similar symptoms, and think you have the flu. The vaccine can cause side effects, especially in children who previously have not been exposed to the flu virus. The most common side effect is soreness at the site of the vaccination. Others include fever, tiredness and sore muscles that may begin six to 12 hours after vaccination and may last for up to two days. These symptoms are not influenza itself but an immune response to the virus proteins in the vaccine.

How Long Until I See Results?
Great question. Results may vary from person to person as there are various external and internal factors that may influence each persons experience while using this product. Some of our customers may see immediate results, while others have achieved great results within 4-6 weeks. We would suggest that you don't get discouraged as your body will begin to respond to the herbs that are being introduced to it, some of them probably for the first time.
Get Optimum Results with Regular Use
We suggest that you take this product consistently, and as specified. While pharmaceutical drugs treat symptoms, natural herbs go directly to the root of the problem, and look to alleviate the problem all together. This means that you should allow the herbs enough time to build up within your system, and thus become effective. Even after you feel as though your main cause of complaint has subsided, you may find that it is beneficial to continuously take a smaller dose for ongoing maintenance and support. Many of our customers take a regular dose as part of a preventative program in order to insure optimal health.

These economizers are designed to provide free air conditioning when outside conditions are appropriate. When the outside air is cool and dry enough, the economizer automatically opens to circulate this cool air, thereby eliminating the need to run the air conditioning compressor. This enables the user to lower his electrical costs and increase the life of the equipment. If the outside air becomes too warm or humid, the controller automatically closes the fresh air damper and the compressor begins to operate. The economizer is fully modulating and therefore will automatically mix the fresh air and the return air proportionally to get maximum energy savings. This accessory is not required for standard operation -- it provides additional convenience if desired.

How Many Text Messages Will Be Sent in 2011?
We already know that text messaging is becoming the more popular way to communicate (and besides emails, I send more texts than I do voice calls), but a new study estimates just how many texts will be sent in 2011. Can you guess the number?

To Gillnetter.
I would suggest that it is better to opt for the MA. Political science than burning midnight oil in learning more about English language. (I don't understand the last sentence.)
Regarding the last sentence.
As he has done MA English, and wants to study further; he asks me in this regard whether he should do Mphil. in English language or MA political science. I am suggesting to my friend that he should go for doing MA political science than Mphill English.

John E. Sununu brings nothing new to the sequester debate ("D.C.'s version of 'Who's on First,' " Op-ed, March 4). His extreme partisanship is exquisitely on display. When he speaks of finding the necessary votes for passage of any bill, his arithmetic is a simple majority of 218 for the House but 60 for the Senate, which is not a simple majority but the votes necessary for cloture.
That the Senate now requires a supermajority for passage of legislation has created a tyranny of the minority that has greatly contributed to the current stalemate.

Officer Sam Clemens says police were called just before 10:30pm Saturday to the BP station at 3308 West Russell Street:
Clemens says the man did not ask for money, and the woman didn't recognize him and has no idea why he did what he did.
The man is described as six feet to six-feet-three and weighing 200 pounds, was wearing a black sweatshirt, black jeans and a ski mask.
Anyone with information is asked to call Sioux Falls Police or CrimeStoppers at 367-7007.

Arts and Economic Prosperity IV Study
Posted by: Lincoln Arts Council
Did you know...
- The Arts generate over 53 million dollars in economic activity in Lincoln every year.
- There are over 15 hundred full-time jobs in the Arts in Lincoln.
- The city and state share nearly five million dollars in tax revenue from the Arts.
- Twenty one percent of our Arts audiences come from out-of-town.
- Our out-of-town guests spend an average of thirty two dollars each Arts event and that doesn't even include the cost of the ticket.
- An average of fifteen dollars is spent by every person at Lincoln Arts events over and above the cost of admission.
- So why do we capitalize the word "Arts"? Because they're a Big Deal, that's why.
Publication after publication lists Lincoln as "...a family friendly place to live," or "...best for singles," or "...one of the top five places to retire," and so on. Lincoln makes so many lists because it is stable, has low unemployment, and has a rich cultural life worthy of cities much larger. The Arts are a major contributor to that cultural life, and now you know, a major economic engine as well. The Lincoln Arts Council partnered once again with the Americans For The Arts in a national Arts economic impact study, gathering data in 2011. The results for Lincoln are up 14% from a similar study in 2005 and we're delighted to share the good news. We all know that Lincoln is a great place to live, and that the Arts are a big part our quality of life. We should also remember that the Arts contribute their full share to our economic prosperity as well.Arts and Economic Prosperity IV was conducted by Americans for the Arts, the nation's leading nonprofit organization for advancing the arts in America, with support from the Lincoln Arts Council and the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts.

I've walked past many times and finally went in for dinner. I don't get the decor. Grungy is how I would describe it. Service was pleasant and efficient. Good was not great. I ordered the combination of ribs and they were cooked well but rather tasteless and unexciting. About 6 St. Louis ribs. I left 2 behind. Glad I went so I know now not to go again.
Posted by Elizabeth on 01/25/2010
i called brother jimmys for the first time, wondering if they did just plain fried chicken wings; not knowing the answer the hostess went and asked, when taking my delivery order she asked for my name and information. she then repeated back my info as well as my order. then while hanging up she said have a good night elizabeth, she remembered my name!! great costumer service. ordered bbq wings, cornbread and mashed potatoes: with tip 20 bucks. wings were ahhhmazing. cornbread was a bit hard, and the mashed potatoes werent to my liking, but im picking with them. delivery took about 40 minutes, for the wings it was worth it. but for the rest of the meal it wasnt.

The foods not going to win any awards but it's consistent and good for what it is.

One of New York's best. I'm a vegetarian but I always find an abundance of awesome foodies for me to eat. My family loves the BBQ, etc. Keep putting it out there for us New Yorkers. Thanks
Posted by UpperWestSide on 04/01/2009
We moved around the corner from Brother Jimmys about two years ago. We have been there about 20 times and ordered delivery maybe 20 times as well. The food is usually good, although the macaroni and cheese side is always hit or miss, the rest of the food is pretty consistent. In addition, its a great place to go after my company's softball team has a game. We love the fishbowls and have fishbowl races after every game we have thats on the UWS. Tonight, we orderd from dinner from Brother Jimmy's and they told us it would be half an hour. About 50 minutes later we called and they told us it was on the way. About an hour and 15 minutes later we called and the girl couldn't find our order in the computer. She gave the phone to the manager who also couldnt find it in the computer. Ten minutes after that the manager called us back, apologized, and told us that the order was on them because they found it on a piece of paper next to the phone and they had never put it in the computer. It was really annoying to wait two hours to get food, however, I appreciated the manager trying to smooth things over by sending it asap and not charging. I will definitely be back again this spring and summer for softball season, and probably will order delivery again.

A court has heard of the nightmare ordeal of a Japanese tourist who was robbed and raped in Sheffield by a schoolboy - who was just 15 years old at time. She was attacked as she walked to visit a friend.
A judge today said she may never recover and said the teenager should be named and shamed as Jerone Thompson. He was caught after DNA evidence helped track him down as Martin Fisher now reports.

Local residents were out in full force at Thursday night's zoning board meeting at Glen Cove City Hall in opposition of a new 7-11 convenience store that is set to be built at the corner of 4th Street and Cedar Swamp Road. According to Stuart Grossman, chairman of the Zoning Board, the meeting was officially supposed to be focused on sign variances for the new store, but residents wanted to make sure their voices were heard.
New York State Assemblyman and Frost Pond Road resident Michael Montesano said that he hopes the board will deny the application for the new 7-11 because of the traffic impact and light pollution the new store will create.

Kids Can Do Good Too!
October 29, 2010 at 3:40 pm , by Julie Bain
In August I met a special young lady named Nora. I was in New Orleans to volunteer for a Rebuilding Together project to reconstruct homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina five years earlier. I hit it off with Nora and her mom while we were sweating and sanding together in the sultry New Orleans heat. Nora learned a thing or two about the power of community service, so I invited her to visit our offices at LHJ and write a guest blog about it. Here are her thoughts.
It all started when my Argentine grandmother, Lita, taught me to knit when I was 6. I put my hands on the knitting needles, and she put her hands over mine and guided the movements of my hands and the yarn. Once I knew the motions, I could do it myself at home. At first my knitted squares were loose and full of holes and dropped stitches, but I kept practicing and got better. Now my full ability is to knit scarves and hats. Sweaters and gloves are beyond my skills, although my grandma made beautiful ones.
When I was 11 or 12, I had a group of friends who all had learned to knit. In our religion class, the teacher suggested that we do some good with our knitting skills. She suggested we make a baby blanket and donate it to a hospital. So we each knitted several squares and then sewed them all together. It was in lots of pastel colors and was really cute! We thought it was amazing that we made it—it looked professional! And we were really proud to give it to someone in need.
It made me want to do more community service. So this past summer, my mom asked if I wanted to go to New Orleans with her for the 5th anniversary of hurricane Katrina and help rebuild some houses (below, that's me with Julie Bain and my friend Julia Collins). I wasn't sure what I'd have to do and was a little bit nervous, but I was into it.
I had painted sets for my school musical, but that did not prepare me for being on a ladder in 100-degree heat to prime and paint a two-story home. It was tough work. But what was so cool was that I could do it, and I painted a lot of that house. I also sanded almost the whole rebuilt front porch. We also met the owners and saw how grateful they were. They had lived there for decades before Katrina, and I thought it was so valuable to rebuild their home rather than tear it down and build a new one. I mean, they want to live in their own home!
Both of these projects made me want to do more. It's very rewarding, and I plan to go again next summer. Doing good really does feel good!

Helping Hands in New Orleans
September 7, 2010 at 9:17 am , by Julie Bain
Oh, the things you can do! With just a few volunteers and some hard work, you can change people's lives.
That's our Meredith crew, above, finishing up a house in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans on August 27. When you write a check to your favorite charity, you know you're doing good. But when you put your own sweat (and tears and maybe even a little blood) into a cause—and get to know the people involved—it can be inspiring and even life-changing. I can't stop thinking about New Orleans and the things I learned while I was there with Rebuilding Together for the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (see my previous blogs on it here and here.).
Kids make great volunteers. I was surprised at how many people brought their kids to help in New Orleans, and at how much they accomplished. I especially bonded with these two: Nora Gonzalez, 13, and Julia Collins, 12, both going into 8th grade in New York City. I was amazed at how both of them gamely climbed tall ladders to carefully prime and paint in the sultry August heat, without a complaint.
Later, when I was sanding the porch with Nora, we had a chance to talk. When I mentioned I was going to interview another homeowner, one who hadn't been as lucky as the ones whose house we were finishing, she asked if she could go with me. I happily took on my new apprentice. Here's what we learned.

Rebuilding Houses in New Orleans
August 27, 2010 at 7:14 am , by Julie Bain
At Ladies' Home Journal, we don't just write about others doing good. We also practice what we preach! I'm honored to be in New Orleans this week for Rebuilding Together's Fifty for Five project to rehabilitate homes damaged by Katrina. (LHJ's parent company, Meredith Corp., is a sponsor.) The Harris family bought this house in 1963 and it was almost completely destroyed by the hurricane floodwaters five years ago. Here's our gang priming up the siding on this beautifully rebuilt house in preparation for its final paint job.
That's Margaret Harris with me, right. When Katrina was coming, she said she didn't want to leave. She'd ridden out many a hurricane in that house. "I thought my home was safe," she said. She stocked up at Sam's, and got out the generator. But her son convinced Mrs. Harris and her husband to get in the car and evacuate. They made it to their daughter's house in South Carolina after more than 20 hours on the gridlocked roads, and they stayed several months. When her son could finally get into the house, he saw the devastation and said, "Mama, don't come back." But eventually they did come back and lived in a trailer for years while they worked to restore the house. Soon it will be a welcoming haven again for their five kids, nine grandkids and three great-grandchildren.
After filling, sanding, priming and painting all day Thursday, our group of volunteers was tired but happy. Mr. and Mrs. Harris were so appreciative, and let's face it, there's nothing quite as satisfying as doing a little good. So we're doing it again on Friday. It all culminates in a giant musical celebration to the renewal of the Gulf Coast on Saturday. I'll report back.

Two weeks ago, Torii Hunter was placed on the Los Angeles Angels restricted list. He needed to leave the team to return to Texas, where his son Darius had been arrested on allegations of sexual assault.
The Associated Press reports that Hunter has returned to the team after missing 14 games. Hunter hopes to be ready to come off the restricted list and return to action soon.
According to Hunter, the alleged sexual assault took place a week before his son was arrested, but was unable to comment much further about the case.
"Can't really talk about much," Hunter said. "I'm not a no-commenter. You know I want to tell you everything, but I can't do it. I've got to let the justice system play its part, and let my attorneys do what they have to do, and hopefully this thing gets dropped, but we're ready to go to court no matter what.
"I don't wish this on any father out there," he added. "I know a lot of fathers have been through it, but I don't wish this on anybody, to see your son go through this. All the embarrassment, all the lies that are out there - don't always believe what you read, because it's not even close. But it's a lot better."
The Angels are certainly glad that Hunter's family issues are being taken care of and will be grateful to have him back in the lineup soon.

Lancashire drink drive figures fall
5:00pm Sunday 26th January 2014 in News
MORE than 200 people were caught drink driving in Lancashire during the Christmas period.
A total of 17,400 tests were administered throughout the month of December, with 202 people failing the test and 19 people refusing to provide a specimen.
During the police's Christmas drink drive campaign, 18,964 tests were administered with 281 people failing the test or refusing to provide a specimen.
Chief Insp Debbie Howard said: "It is pleasing to see the number of people drink driving on Lancashire's roads has reduced.
"I hope that the message is getting through to people that drink driving is extremely dangerous and the consequences are high.
"A total of 221 people caught drink driving is still too many though.
"We are not complacent and will continue to carry out regular enforcement to take action against those who continue to break the law."
Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw said: "People who choose to drink and drive are not only putting their own lives in serious danger, they are risking the lives of everyone around them.
"The evidence is clear that you're many times more likely to cause a crash if you're over the limit than a driver who hasn't been drinking."

I personally think it should be 202 drivers that should be licence free an on a restricted holiday (HMP).It's probably more a revenue thing than a stop drink drivers.

But-the percentage of those found is similar to the percentage caught in stop and search-which is being reviewed.
Just saying!

Chicago, L.A. Add Ford Transit Connect Taxis
Modified vehicles run on compressed natural gas.
The next time you visit a major city, part of your travel may be powered by compressed natural gas (CNG). Chicago and Los Angeles recently joined a growing list of cities that use Ford Transit Connect Taxis fueled by CNG.
In Chicago, Taxi Medallion Management hopes to reduce its emissions by 25 percent by putting 12 CNG-powered taxis into service. Likewise, two cab companies in Los Angeles will put approximately 120 Ford Transit Connect CNG taxis on the streets of the second largest city in the U.S. Yellow Cab of Anaheim and Cabco Yellow, Inc. will have the full order of taxis delivered by the end of this year.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), CNG is less expensive and burns cleaner than gasoline, resulting in 30 to 40 percent less greenhouse gas emissions. The CNG-powered Ford Transit Connect taxis help reduce overall fleet costs of taxi companies and are a better choice for the environment. Engine prep packages are offered by Ford that allow conversions to both CNG and liquefied propane gas.
"We are adding CNG-powered vehicles to our fleet in order to reduce the effective cost of fuel for our drivers, and to introduce cleaner vehicles for the environment," said Michael Levine, CEO of Taxi Medallion Management, in a press release.
Also used as a delivery van by many businesses, the Ford Transit Connect offers a unique size and shape that is well suited for navigating narrow, congested city streets. The ample interior space also provides a comfortable ride for passengers with plenty of storage room for luggage or other items.
While Chicago and L.A. are the newest cities to take advantage of the Transit Connect taxis, several other cities are also onboard. In Connecticut, Yellow Cab Company of Hartford and Metro Taxi of West Haven recently ordered a total of 70 Transit Connect CNG taxis. Other cities to order the taxis include Las Vegas and St. Louis. Philadelphia, the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the U.S., is also expected to join the list soon.
California is expected to see a rise in the use of the new taxis after the California Air Resources Board (CARB) approved the use of modified Transit Connect vehicles to run on CNG. CARB is an organization designed to protect public health, welfare and ecological resources through reduction of air pollutants.
Using Ford Transit Connect taxis that run on CNG is a smart choice in many ways. These innovative vehicles are better for the environment, save money on the cost of fuel and provide city passengers with a safe, comfortable and convenient transportation option. Hail one of these taxis today and make the world a better place for tomorrow.

This project contains a spot for your COMPANY NAME, 2 PROJECT TITLE NAMES (front and end), 8 text holders and 10 video holders. The Colorful World contain two versions of the project. One project version is the full version, allowing you to change everything. Be aware that, for this version of the project you also need to have additional plug-ins used for this project (Video Copilot Optical Flares, Trapcode Particular and Trapcode Sound Keys). The other version of the project is fully prerendered, and the only thing left for you to do is to change text and videos in text holder and video holder compositions. This version has no need for additional plug-ins, and also is faster to render.
