Defense Minister Ehud Barak told the Keshev Committee tasked with replacing the
"Tal Law" on Thursday that the IDF and security services could make use of 50
percent of the annual intake of haredi men of military age, and that the
remaining potential recruits should go to civilian service
Speaking to the committee tasked with drawing up a proposal for
recruiting ultra-Orthodox men into national service, Barak said the new law was
crucial to several aspects of Israeli society.
"Creating a more equal
share in the burden of national service; increasing the size of the workforce;
increased opportunities for further education; and the "recalibration" of
mechanisms for supporting religious institutions [can all be achieved] through
the replacement of the Tal Law," Barak said.
The Tal Law, which provided
a legal framework for haredi men to indefinitely defer military service to
pursue Torah studies, was ruled unconstitutional by the High Court of Justice
back in February and will expire on August 1.
During his address to the
committee, Barak also stressed the importance of conducting a dialogue with the
haredi community which was not "bullying or coercive" in its manner, but instead
"mature, responsible and aimed at reaching an agreed solution, as much as
"The haredi community is an essential element in the mosaic of
Israeli society and the link of the state and the Jewish people to its roots,"
Barak averred.
As to the specifics of the new arrangement, Barak said
that the quota for those exempt from service on the basis of being exceptional
Torah scholars should be no more than 10% of the total number of haredi men
eligible for service in a given year.
Citing IDF statistics, Barak said
that approximately half of the remainder would be able to be drafted into tracks
within the military and security services.
Of these, a third could serve
in active duty units such as the Nahal Haredi battalion, a third in the IDF's
Shahar track in which recruits fill advanced technological positions in the
army, and a third in the police force and the prison and firefighting
The remaining 50% of the annual intake of haredi recruits could
be drafted into civilian service programs.
Barak added, however, that the
civilian service requires revisions to ensure it is providing "real benefits to
society, does not steal the livelihoods of citizens and does not duplicate the
civilian security services."
Barak said that national service should
remain obligatory, but that there is no desire on behalf of the state to fill
prisons with people who do not fulfill their obligation to serve.
such, he continued, the new arrangement needs to define clear benefits and
rights for those who serve which will give them substantial advantages over
those who refuse to do military or national service.
The defense minister
added that he hoped the committee would not be deterred from creating an
equilibrium between demands by the High Court of Justice and civil society to
equally distribute the burden of national service; the requirements of the
Israeli economy; and the public and political discourse with the haredi
Barak also said that those who serve in IDF combat units should
receive greater compensation for their service than those serving in other
arenas of military and national service.

The Cure for Cam
"Last November, Blinn (Texas) College, behind quarterback Cameron Newton, beat Fort Scott 31-26 for the junior-college national title. Blinn won it on an 84-yard punt return with 15 seconds left after David seemingly sealed the win for Fort Scott with a fourth-down stop of Newton, the runaway Heisman Trophy winner this year at Auburn. In fact, David spied the quarterback for much of the game. He tackled Newton 18 times, according to Sims. How? That's just what David does. He makes plays."

Oceana U: Report from Connecticut College
Last semester (for those of you who still think in those terms), I started working with a young and dedicated oceans advocate at Connecticut College. Check out her story below:
Hi! My name is Olivia and I'm a sophomore at Connecticut College. I'm from Newport Beach, California and was fortunate enough to be introduced to the remarkable work that Oceana does to protect our oceans.
I was so shocked by how little I knew about the devastating statistics and lack of governmental enforcement to protect the sea creatures that are very close to extinction, so I felt a need to find a way to participate. After volunteering for their Sea Change event in Laguna Beach, I contacted a member of Oceana about starting a college branch. I was the first student to approach them with this idea and they were very excited to get started!

the southeast facing dihedral is the classic route on the chair.it is the one you can see from the highway. one of erics books has a write-up of our climb..someone should repeat this route. what a BEAUTY.get hold of one of us for details. also, buttes of the cross. best climb i ever did. we had #2. check bolts. totally rotten in 2005 when we were there.there is new first ascent 5 pitch route we are planning to do.totally wild and dirty. we are 68 and 69 years old. not much left to lose, being old people, so why not? will keep you posted. rat
Me and a buddy are going in there to climb on and around Jacob's Chair. Any way you could send me some more info on your route? It would be very much appreciated. Thanks Brian
hey brian, I'm also interested in climbing out by Jacob's Chair, and live locally (monticello), but am having a tough time finding anyone to go out there with me. If you're interested, PM me about your plans and timeline. Maybe we can join forces out there? My profile is pretty accurate if you want to check my credentials...
I might be in that area first/ second week of march. I have wanted to climb jacobs chair for a while but i can not find any beta on it other than one line in the desert rock IV saying it is a 5.10 II let me know if some one would be down to go climb
got beta re j. chair. we did 2nd.overall ascent, new route at the time. i notice several posts showing interest. reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com. this is written up in eric's parks and recreation areas book, i think it was. note diedrich and calhoun names. well known in the community. we have several other goodies as well, prob. not published anywhere.
Brian Sohn and I are going to be in the Jacob's Chair area around Mar. 19-23. Our tentative plan is to climb the Chair, maybe via a new route, and explore some of the other stuff in the area, especially the climbing in North Wash. We're psyched about FA possibilities. If there's anyone who knows this area pretty well and is willing to show us around, we'd be really appreciative.
Any updates on Jacobs Chair? Christopher did you guys do a new route?

Antonio Margarito took a pounding at the hands of Manny Pacquiao, but survived all 12 rounds to send the fight to the judges. Pacquiao opened a nasty cut under the right eye of Margarito that continued to deterioriate throughout the fight, eventually swelling shut as the fight wore on. The win propelled Pacquiao to his eighth title in as many weight classes, clearly establishing Manny as the finest pound-for-pound boxer in the sport right now.
From beginning to end, Pacquiao used his impressive speed and a flurry of punches from all angles to completely neutralize the sizeable weight advantage Margarito held. Margarito finally did some damage to Pacquiao at one point, landing a flurry of punches in the sixth round with Manny up against the ropes. Pacquaio said he was surprised by the power of Margarito's punches and his vicious uppercut after the fight, noting that the sixth round left him stunned.
In the 11th round, Pacquiao began looking to the referee as if to ask "will you end this already?" By the 12th round, Pacquiao let off the gas, showing some compassion for a clearly battered opponent. With the fight well in hand, Pacquiao was content to walk out with a judges' decision.
The fight was scored 120-108, 118-110 and 119-109, all for Pacquiao. It was Pacquiao's 52nd career win and 16th straight victory. Margarito put up one heck of a fight, but Pacquiao continues to be in a class all of his own in the sport.
With Margarito disposed of, the focus turns to the next opponent for Pacquiao. Will we finally get the mega-fight everyone has been waiting for? The next logical step is for Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s camp to hammer out details of a fight the public so desperately wants. As we saw in the last round of negotiations, that's easier said than done. Pacquiao said he's still focused, ready to fight and will take on anyone that's put in front of him in an interview after the fight, though he was non-commital about who that opponent would be.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement has issued an alert for two missing children believed to be endangered.
Trieu "Kiah" Firth, 2, and Chieu "Kristin" Quan Firth, 4, have been missing since Thursday. They were last seen in Melbourne with their parents, James Firth, 43, and Mai Dang Firth, 31.
The Department of Children and Families (DCF) had been investigating alleged threats made by the children's parents, to kill their daughters and then kill each other in a "suicide pact."
The family resides in Vietnam and traveled to the United States to obtain treatment for Kristin who has autism. DCF officials said the parents were frustrated and distressed over the cost of the treatment.
Before DCF could shelter the children, the family disappeared. They were last seen near the Florida Institute of Technology. James Firth has family in Florida (Ormond Beach), Michigan and Arizona. The family may be traveling to San Francisco to board an international flight to Vietnam. They may be traveling in a 2002, silver Lexus SUV, FL tag number 612PGW.
Kiah was last seen wearing an all pink sundress with flower print and Kristin was last seen wearing a dark blue sundress with a belt and a bow tie in the back.

Should You Floss Before or After Brushing Your Teeth?
One night, shortly after my wife and I got married, we were getting ready for bed and she noticed that I brush my teeth after I floss. She had always brushed before flossing. We probably would've discussed this fascinating subject in more detail if we hadn't been so tired...
Interestingly, we had both been brushing and flossing in a different order for twenty-some years of our lives before we met each other and we both had pretty good results to show for it.
My thought process goes like this: it wouldn't make sense to wash your hands, and then pick out all of the stuff under your nails because that would just get the dirt all over your freshly-washed hands. So why would anyone in their right mind floss after brushing?
Well, here's why: Those who advocate flossing after brushing state that when you floss first, you don't brush the plaque away, you simply push it back into the spaces between your teeth where it can grow and cause cavities.
So who's right? Should you floss before brushing your teeth? Or should you brush your teeth before flossing?
Should You Floss Before or After Brushing?
After plowing through several dental hygiene-related textbooks, I couldn't find any information on whether you should brush or floss first.
After reading online, I noticed that there are people who are very passionate about this subject — as this forum post demonstrates!
I think the reason that there's not really any concrete recommendations about whether you should brush or floss first is because it really doesn't matter whether you brush or floss first.
The main reason we need to brush and floss is because every time we eat or drink fermentable carbohydrates, the little bugs that live in our mouth grow, reproduce, and build homes on our teeth. Their waste products are what harm our teeth.
Learn more about plaque by reading What Every Human Needs to Know About Plaque.
The best way to combat plaque is to disrupt it, or destroy the intricate colony that it has built on your teeth. When the bugs are floating around in your mouth, they don't harm your teeth. They only harm your teeth when they have attached to your teeth and grown into a layer on top of your teeth. By brushing and flossing, you remove the bugs from your teeth temporarily. They will re-attach, but then you can simply brush and floss again to disrupt their little home once again and put them in their place.
As long as you are disrupting the bacteria that live between your teeth regularly, they won't be able to cause cavities. When you floss, you scrape them away from their home and it will take them a some time to regroup, get organized, and start growing again between your teeth.
Does It Matter If You Brush or Floss First?
It really doesn't matter! In fact, you don't even need to brush and floss at the same time. As long as you're eating good foods, brushing twice a day, flossing once per day, and avoiding these ten common flossing mistakes, you should be fine.

This is great! My husband and I had the same discussion. I say brush first, then floss, and a quick rinse with water to top it all off. I'm glad to know it doesn't really matter!
There is a thought that, by flossing first, the bacterial film is disrupted so that the fluoride in the toothpaste can get to the tooth surface more efficiently, thereby facilitating remineralization.
My RDH co-workers and I have discussed that exact same theory in the past--that the fluoride-rich plaque can actually can hold the fluoride on the tooth. It's hard to say if leaving cariogenic plaque on the tooth for the purposes of remineraliziation is still a viable theory or not--it used to be, however. The instructions that come with a newer fluoride and calcium/phosphate toothpaste suggest that adults shouldn't rinse after two minutes of brushing (expectorate only) but children should. Personally, I still rinse because I don't want to swallow excess fluoride, but a higher cavity-risk individual or someone with demineralized enamel may benefit from leaving the excess paste in the mouth.
Dear friends, I have a factual reason it is better to floss before brushing. Prior to flossing there is food particulates such as meat etc stuck between your teeth. If this remains when brushing the fluoride can't make contact with the surface between teeth because the food is obstruction the toothpaste. I don't think it will matter much however, if you floss and brush everyday regardless of what order, but I do think what I say is true. God's blessings to you and your family. Rüdi J Calkövsky
This is great, I'm blown away by how no one knows what is best. I flosss then brush, the reason being is because I know the bio-film I just disrupted is still in my mouth which tastes horrible. Sometimes I brush after a teeth cleaning at the dentist too, the scraping of the plaque there that leaves a terrible taste is the same crud your taking out after you clean you teeth. Its kind of like if your hair was full of nasty muck and your body was dirty, it wouldn't make sense to go to town on your face and body with a wash cloth, then shampoo all that mud and have it remnants of that muck on you, would it?
My question is.... When you floss I know its important to wrap the floss around the tooth somewhat and not just go in straight. But- should you do a back and forth sliding motion or a root to crown "up and down" scraping motion? I use ribbon floss so I wonder what does what.
Hi Brian, I believe absolutely you should floss back and forth (most important), and up and down if possible. The back and forth motion "pulls" the food out of between your teeth. Especially meat. Be sure to go down both sides of the "V" of the gums and pull the floss out and in gently without cutting your gums. For me, my teeth are tight together except at the base of the gums so I can't really go up and down much without the floss tearing. To everyone, if we are all talking together about flossing it shows that we truly care about our oral hygiene so we should all have great teeth regardless. God's blessings to you and your family. Rüdi J Calkövsky
If flossing causes bleeding then you must brush first so that you introduce as little bacteria into your gums and bloodstream as possible. Think of it like disinfecting a surgical site before cutting. However, it is also important to clean away the plaque that is loosened after flossing as occurs by flossing afterwards. So, you want to minimize plaque and bacteria before flossing and remove the same after. This can be accomplished by brush-floss-brush, anti plaque rinse-floss-brush, or brush-floss-rinse. Note also that you are probably not currently doing any of these steps adequately. It's harder than even good flossers and
and brushes realize. JMF, DDS.
what is your opinion on dry brushing first, before using toothpaste?
Dry brushing would be a terrible idea. Not to insult anyone or come off as rude but the purpose of the water is not only to activate the suds of a toothpaste but also to lubricate the tooth. Dry brushing is scraping/sanding your enamel far fast then brief wet brushing sessions. You may develop dark brown spots, this is your dentin exposed. Exposed dentin on a tooth results in a huge risk of cavities on the tooth of which is exposed. I'd like to hear back from you and see weather of not you have any dark brown spots already from previously dry brushing.
How long does it take for you guys to floss effectively? Sometimes I'm in there a good 5 minutes flossing. lol.
@brian I have read quite a bit of good things regarding dry brushing. also the brush is less abrasive then the toothpaste itself. there was a recent study done stating the effectiveness of dry brushing, google it. also check mens health magazine. Plus toothpaste is way more abrasive than a dry toothbrush.(per abrasion studies)
This study seems like it was favoring tooth pastes like Crest Pro Health and other flavor crystal/grainy toothpastes. A perfect example to disrupt their control in their theory/study would be a specimen like Sensodyne Iso Active pure foam toothpaste. But I see what you mean when you say dry brushing is less abrasive then wet brushing grains into your teeth.
On this blog page, instead of @Naming people, there is a reply post-it next to (beneath) the posters name your referring to. That way posts are more organized in a outline/bulletin format.
Lastly it would help others a great deal instead of just remarking "google it" to in the future go the extra mile and leave a few reputable sources on the matter, more importantly the one your argument is favor of.
Hope I helped.
Dry brushing removes more plaque and significantly reduces gum bleeding. The article was in a recent issue of mens health magazine.you should read it BEFORE commenting. Hope THAT helps
I'm just baffled as to why someone would phrase a question later to become hardened into a statement without the input they were wishing to receive? What was the point?
relax.... I was just wondering if anyone actually dry brushed? Calm down, it was just a question.
also ... Per my dentist, toothpaste is not even needed at all. Have you looked at all the dangerous chemicals in the ingredient list? I use tooth powder containing xylitol. Research the benefits of xylitol for dental care. Also in addition to flossing use a rubber tipped gum massager, it breaks up plaque formation where the floss cannot reach. I have picture perfect gums due to good oral care,flossing, but MAINLY using a gum massager. I obtained mine from my dentist, but I noticed bed bath and beyond sells them now for $2.99. I would never go without it.
My god. You people are ridiculous.
Why the hell would you make an article about a question, if your answer is going to be it doesn't matter? If the answer doesn't matter then your article doesn't matter.
After reading several different internet posts, the consensus is that the cleaning result is the same either way. However, one post did mention that if you floss first, it will allow the fluoride toothpaste to better get in the spaces after flossing. And I was not previously a "floss first" advocate.
Does it matter what type of floss or if the floss is waxed or not? I was told to use waxed, ribbon floss but to be sure to floss before brushing.

2013 Va. General Assembly Q&A
Members of Henrico's delegation discuss the 2013 session
The Henrico Citizen invited each of Henrico's General Assembly members five questions about the 2013 session. The answers of those who responded by the deadline appear here.
1. What is the most important issue facing the General Assembly this year? Why?
Farrell – With it being the governor's last year in office, he has presented proposals for major changes in education and transportation. In regards to education, the General Assembly will have to consider, among other issues, the best method of determining teacher compensation to ensure optimal performance in the classroom. We must also decide on the best strategy to assist Virginia school systems that are struggling. When discussing transportation, the General Assembly must address the ever-growing issue of budgetary shortfalls over the past decade for new road construction. The governor has proposed eliminating the gas tax and a 0.8-cent increase in sales tax as a solution, and it will be up to us to decide if this is the best formula going forward to ensure the viability of Virginia's transportation funding system. Improved education and transportation systems are the pillars of a strong economic future for Virginians.
Loupassi – Education reforms. The governor has proposed a number of reforms for K-12 education, and those are likely to have a great amount of discussion. Additionally, mental health spending and the budget considerations will occupy much of our time.
Massie – The most important issue facing the legislature this year is economic growth and jobs creation. Since 2009, numerous private businesses have invested $10 billion in expanding their existing operations or starting new ones, announced 1,027 economic development projects and created 60, 865 jobs. Our investment in job- creating economic development activities here in Virginia has really paid off. Our unemployment rate in Virginia is 5.5 percent, the lowest in the Southeast and the second lowest east of the Mississippi. The national unemployment rate is 7.9 percent. As we continue to compete with other states and other countries to attract business, we need to stay energized and creative. Our citizens need the jobs and our government services need the revenues.
O'Bannon – The most important issues this year will be the budget and transportation. Both are vitally important to keeping Virginia's economic and job growth going. Transportation problems have cost us rankings nationally, and we need to deal with this problem.
McEachin – The most important issue facing the General Assembly this year is the option for Medicaid expansion. By expanding Medicaid, we will provide working Virginians with health care, create jobs and stop our federal tax dollars from going to other states. Most significantly, we will do this at absolutely no cost to Virginia for the first three years. Even after that, the federal government will always pick up at least 90 percent of the costs. In other words, we can create jobs, help our fellow Virginians and keep our hard-earned dollars in Virginia simply by supporting Medicaid expansion. Expanding Medicaid will insure between 300,000 to over 400,000 Virginians who have no health insurance, create more than 30,000 new jobs and save the state money spent for indigent care.
Stosch – On the budget side, Virginia is one of the largest beneficiaries of federal spending, particularly with the large concentration of military bases and ship building in Hampton Roads and federal workers in northern Virginia. We can deal with adversity; we can deal with good news. It is more difficult to deal with uncertainty which is what we face at this time with potential added budget pressures on our Commonwealth from federal action (or inaction). As examples, the national healthcare plan can add hundreds of millions to state spending at a time in which state funds are stagnant; how and when federal sequestration is resolved could result in significant job losses in Virginia. And, of course, there are many other implications which will impact our economy in Virginia. So, until we understand more of the specifics of impending federal action and how those actions will impact Virginia, our best course is to continue to be frugal, plan carefully and build our rainy day funds.
2. What legislation do you plan to introduce during this year's session?
Farrell – I have always made a point to support legislation that gives local government greater flexibility, and four of my bills this session do just that. House Bill 1331 provides that any county or city and certain towns may establish and maintain a defined contribution retirement plan for its employees instead of any other retirement plans. House Bill 1332 allows a local governing body to request an audit from the Auditor of Public Accounts at any time upon a majority vote. House Bill 1333 allows localities to amend service district boundaries after notice and a public hearing. House Bill 1620 allows a county to adopt an optional form of local government upon the vote of a majority of the members of its governing body.
Loupassi – I have proposed a number of bills that relate to public safety, legal efficiencies and spending. I have introduced legislation to outlaw texting while driving and synthetic drugs. I have introduced legislation to stop the government from charging separate fees for toll transponders. I have introduced a constitutional amendment to control runaway governmental spending.
Massie – My primary legislative focus this year is education. I believe that our K-12 education policies and funding are paving roads to success for our youth. Virginia is ranked the fourth-best state to raise a child in. Virginia, and in particular Henrico County, has wonderful public schools. We also have the finest system of public higher education in the country. During this 2013 session Governor McDonnell and the House Republican Caucus are proposing major education initiatives and reforms including: a 2 percent salary increase for teachers, a strategic compensation program, improving teachers' continuing contracts, improved reading achievements, a solution for failing schools, major charter school initiatives and many others. I support the governor's education reform agenda. Last year, my Educational Improvement Scholarship bill passed the General Assembly and became law. It allows for tax credits for donations to approved foundations which award scholarships to economically disadvantaged children to attend a school of their parents' choice. I will again introduce a bill for educational improvement scholarships to improve the practical applications of the scholarship process.
O'Bannon – I'm introducing a constitutional amendment to guarantee secret ballot voting in union elections in Virginia. I'm also introducing a bill to allow citizens to directly contribute to the Virginia 529 College Savings program from their state income tax refund.
McEachin – I have a variety of bills that I will be introducing. Here are three examples. I am going to introduce legislation to prohibit discrimination based on sexual identity in state employment. I also plan to introduce a bill to ensure that citizens who apply for an absentee ballot are able to request confirmation that the ballot was received. Just like voting on Election Day, Virginians should know that their votes have been recorded and will be counted. I am also introducing a bill prohibiting the governor from unilaterally imposing tolls on the interstate highways here in Virginia without General Assembly approval (and I would oppose such tolls).
Stosch – In the case of personal legislation, as the chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, I typically do not introduce specific legislation other than the budget and bond bills.
3. Will you support Henrico's request to gain authority to implement a meals tax? Why or why not?
Farrell – Given the results of the 2005 referendum, the citizens of Henrico at that time clearly did not support such an increase. Therefore, I cannot support a measure that will overlook the opinion of the citizens of Henrico as illustrated by the results of that referendum in favor of the opinion of the General Assembly. I am happy to work with county officials to come up with solutions to budgetary shortfalls anticipated with the decline in real estate tax revenue which can be presented to the citizens for their approval.
Loupassi – I believe that we have a process in place for the voters to consider such a tax. Henrico voters rejected the tax a very short while ago. I think if it is to be raised, then the voters need to be asked again directly.
Massie – In the past I have voted across the board to give local elected officials the authority to manage local tax and spending decisions. However, in the case of the current Henrico County meals tax proposal, this issue was voted on, and defeated, by public referendum in 2005. Therefore, I believe that the public's decision should not be put aside now in favor of local authority. Rather I believe that the county should rely on public input for a meals tax decision. I will work with the county and my constituents to establish that channel of input. Also, I will work with the county to explore other avenues to replace depleted real estate tax revenues of recent years so that the high quality of county services can be upheld.
O'Bannon – Since Henrico recently held a referendum on this which failed, I believe we'll need to engage our constituients on this. Have placed this question on my legislative district survey and will be discussing with people in my district. Henrico is well run and has limited choices for generating revenue, especially with the real estate tax base dipping so much. Residents may feel more comfortable with a meals tax option for consideration.
McEachin – Yes, I will support this legislation. Localities should have the option to make their own decisions.
Stosch – Henrico's request for authority for a meals tax came about as a result of the county administration reaching a conclusion that current and future Henrico transportation needs cannot be met without adequate revenue from either additional real estate tax assessment or other revenues, such as a meals tax. They expressed a preference for a meals tax. An alternative would be for the state to increase its reimbursement to Henrico for maintaining what would otherwise be a state responsibility. Of all of the counties throughout Virginia, only the counties of Henrico and Arlington currently pay for their own roads. This is a matter we will have to evaluate further before the best informed decisions can be made by the legislators and the County officials to see how Henrico can be treated fairly.
4. Do you believe that Virginia should toughen gun standards, in light of the Connecticut school shooting? If so, how?
Farrell – The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., sadly highlights a growing issue stemming from many concerns. As we await the pending new federal gun regulations in Congress, carefully measured action should be taken at the state level in order to ensure lasting, positive results. I believe that we should engage in a multi-faceted approach and look at all aspects of reasonable and responsible reform, such as mental health and school safety, including school resource officer expansion. For example, Governor McDonnell has proposed $5 million for specific adult and child crisis services and an additional $1 million for children's mental health services.
Loupassi – I believe the problem is related to mental health. I will carefully consider any bills brought to me, but the devil is always, as they say, in the details.
Massie – This is not an area of public policy expertise for me. However, I do believe that school safety depends on mental health preventative practices as well as safe gun standards that do not offend the U.S. Constitution.
O'Bannon – The governor has convened a work group to deal with this. We had a school massacre at Virginia Tech and have updated our laws regarding mental health. I am not supportive of more gun laws but am very supportive of improving mental health care in the state. I am serving on this commission.
McEachin – I believe in some common sense safety measures while still supporting the Second Amendment. We need universal background checks that ensure that suspected terrorists, dangerous convicted felons and those suffering from mental illness are not able to circumvent our background check law to obtain guns. Unfortunately, now, more than 40 percent of guns are sold without background checks. The vast majority of background checks take less than two minutes. I also support a ban on high capacity magazines. Hunters and citizens using those guns for protection do not need high capacity magazines. These magazines exist simply to create violent mayhem. If the magazine size had been limited, many more victims might have survived in recent mass shootings.
5. Do you support raising the gas tax? Why or why not?
Farrell – New fuel economy standards will increase to 54.5 miles per gallon of gas by 2025, causing the gas tax to become a declining revenue source. That being said, I am willing to listen to all revenue-generating plans that help fund transportation.
Loupassi – The governor has proposed a comprehensive transportation package and we will consider all aspects of that proposal.
Massie – I don't support raising the gas tax. I believe that sustained revenue growth is best achieved through economic growth. Economic growth is best achieved via lower marginal tax rates, less regulation and litigation. This approach will yield a correlated increase in tax revenues which may then be used to fund core essential services of government, including transportation.
O'Bannon – The gas tax is certainly one option. We will be reviewing a number of proposals, some of which are quite complicated. I could support a proposal to index or raise the gas tax so long as additional revenue from some other sources is also provided.
McEachin – I support a long-term, sustainable solution to the transportation crisis. We need to repair cracks and potholes, fix our old and substandard bridges and renovate our crumbling tunnels. To do this, we must have a steady, dependable revenue source as well as make appropriate cuts and efficiencies in other spending. The gas tax is one possibility to address this problem, but I am open to certain other solutions also. However, I do oppose putting tolls on I-95 as the governor has proposed.
Stosch – Additional legislation regarding public safety, how to deal with traffic congestion and how to best maintain roads throughout Virginia will be important topics for discussion, all of which will require much debate and evaluation before any final decisions can be reached. I, along with my legislative colleagues representing Henrico, am proud of our county and will serve its citizens as faithfully and professionally as we can.

Members of St. Susanna's National Junior Honor Society took on a fundraising challenge and broke a record by collecting $1,000 to help buy infant warmers for the Special Care Nursery at Hendricks Regional Health.
As a group, they decided to create a "Coins for Cribs" challenge, with the winning classes from grades K-2, 3-5, and 6-8 receiving ice cream sundaes.
In addition, school administrators agreed to award the entire study body a dress down day if a goal of $300 was reached. Needless to say, students enjoyed their dress down day with $1,000 contributed, and sundaes were enjoyed by the three winning classe,s plus seventh- and eighth-grade students in the National Junior Honor Society.
Julia Mulholland, a Hendricks Regional Health Foundation board member, told the students about the need for the new warmers and invited them to participate.
"The students took the idea and ran with it," she said. "During my visit with them, I wasn't sure what they would come up with, and I'm proud of the outstanding result."
Mulholland visited the students with Foundation director Sue Bogan to express their thanks and let them know they were the first school to contribute.
"We would love for every school in Hendricks County to take part, in some way, in this meaningful project in which Hendricks County kids can help Hendricks County kids," Bogan said. "Our volunteer board members are contacting local schools to invite their participation either this spring or next fall. Fundraising efforts will continue through December, so if it's too late to plan something before school ends, we're happy to work with them in the fall. So far, Tri-West High School, Tri-West Middle School, North Salem Elementary, South Elementary in Danville, and Avon Intermediate School West have expressed interest in participating."
To join in the fundraising, contact Bogan by calling 745-7376 or by e-mailing to email@example.com
The mission of the Hendricks Regional Health Foundation is to build healthy families by supporting the needs of patients and programs at Hendricks Regional Health that enhance patient comfort, safety, and medical care. For more information, visit the website at www.SupportHendricks.org.

PEORIA, Ill. -- District 150 officials have confirmed they are looking into the possibility of selling Peoria Stadium.
The historic stadium is currently being used for Central, Manual and Peoria Notre Dame football. The District is has a long-term lease with the Peoria Park District, which could complicate a possible sale.
District Officials say the stadium is in need of repair and they are exploring all options. They say they have had talks with a developer who says Wal-Mart is showing interest in the land.
City officials said they have heard many ideas for the property.
However, no city, school or park district officials would go on camera to talk about this issue saying it is too pre-mature at this point.

The tax credits allocated to PIDC and The Reinvestment Fund, Inc. are geared to help economically distressed communities attract private investment capital
WASHINGTON, June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Congressman Chaka Fattah (PA-02) announced today that two community development entities (CDEs) in Philadelphia have received allocations from the Treasury Department for tax credits to spur private investment in the city's low income neighborhoods.
The Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC) was allocated $38,000,000, and The Reinvestment Fund, Inc. was allocated $43,000,000 in tax credits through the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program.
Fattah, who will deliver a keynote address to the NMTC Coalition tomorrow, June 10 in Washington, said the program is critical for drawing and expanding investments in areas with high rates of poverty and unemployment. Every development project assisted by NMTC is designed to bring new goods and services, economic opportunities, and jobs to these areas.
"At a time when we must be doing everything we can to spur economic development and job creation around the country, I am thrilled to see more than $80 million in new market tax credits allocated to support Philadelphia," Fattah said. "These two organizations have done extraordinary work throughout our community and these new allocations will fuel even more investment to revitalize some of the area's most economically depressed neighborhoods."
PIDC and The Reinvestment Fund were two of the 87 CDEs nationwide who received an allocation of the total $3.501 billion in tax credits announced late last week. Last fall, Fattah wrote to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew in support of PIDC's application, praising their history of success stimulating investment in the city, including two community health centers, two supermarket-anchored shopping centers in communities lacking fresh food options, and a social service center that provides health, education, and legal services to low income residents.
"PIDC is delighted to have been selected again for an allocation of New Markets Tax Credits," said John Grady, President of PIDC. "We have already invested $110 million from prior allocations into projects that are eliminating blight, creating over 950 jobs, and transforming communities. As the only awardee exclusively focused on Philadelphia, we look forward to deploying this new allocation of credits to attract additional investment and create jobs in the neighborhoods of Philadelphia that need it most."
The New Market Tax Credit Program was established by Congress in 2000. It attracts investment capital to low-income communities by permitting investors to receive a tax credit against their Federal income tax returns in exchange for equity investments in Community Development Entities. For every $1 invested by the federal government, the NMTC program generates over $8 in private investment.
"The NMTC program has had a transformative influence in Philadelphia, allowing TRF and other local CDEs to invest in the revitalization of long-neglected communities," said Don Hinkle-Brown, President and CEO of The Reinvestment Fund. "TRF's NMTC-supported projects have helped bring healthy food access, quality educational opportunities and more than 1,500 permanent jobs as well as over 4,700 construction jobs to Philadelphia. We're excited for the opportunities TRF's new $43 million award will bring."
Congressman Fattah, who serves a chairman of the bipartisan Congressional Urban Caucus, has been a staunch advocate for the NMTC Program. He recently authored a letter of support with his Caucus co-chair Congressman Michael Turner (R-OH), calling for an extension of the program, which expired at the end of 2013.

Patrick Ewing has interviewed with the Detroit Pistons for their coaching vacancy, according to NBA.com's David Aldridge. Ewing has been an assistant with the Orlando Magic for the past few seasons, and before that, he spent time in Houston tutoring Yao Ming.
But since retiring a decade ago, Ewing has always sought a head coaching role, and the Pistons are the latest team to give him a look as a potential head coach. From NBA.com:
"It's disappointing that I haven't moved to the next step to getting a head coaching job, but all I can do is keep working hard and keep on preparing myself for whenever that opportunity arises," Ewing told the New York Daily News earlier this month. "A lot of people try to pigeonhole me into just a big man's coach and I'm just not a big man's coach. I'm a coach."
It's unclear if there's a second interview planned, but in any case, he's on the Pistons' list of candidates, and that's a start.

A 70-year-old Kansas City grandmother was found dead inside her house and police are investigating her death as a homicide.
Marise Barrett's family celebrated her 70th birthday Saturday at her house on East 33rd Street near Cypress Avenue.
On Sunday, they are gathered together again, but this time they were confused and mourning the woman they called their rock.
Barrett lived her life surrounded by family.
"She was the glue that held this family together. She means everything to everybody," Barrett's great-niece, Christy Wilson, said.
Now, those who love her can't believe they are seeing her home surrounded by crime scene tape.
"The call was just like what? It didn't make any sense to me, and it still doesn't," Wilson said.
Police say Barrett's husband told them he went into her bedroom Sunday morning and found her body. Authorities are not yet releasing the cause of death.
"Just in disbelief and shock," Barrett's granddaughter, Sabrina Barrett, said.
Marise Barrett was the rock of her family, taking in and raising several of her nieces, nephews and grandchildren, along with her own three children.
"She was a mom to everyone, everyone went to her," Sabrina Barrett said.
And that extended beyond family into the neighborhood.
"I'm close to tears because it is bothering me now because I know she's gone," neighbor Darell Kilby said.
She was known to do little the things for her neighbors.
"When I was in the hospital (for) back surgery, she sent me a card and $50. She just helped all she could," Kilby said.
Another neighbor remembers her for her compassion.
"I've got a little doggy here that he sometimes would run away, but he knew where her house was and when we'd find him, that's generally where he would be. That's how she was, she was a caring person," Leon Franklin said.
Marise Barrett was handicapped and wheelchair-bound but still managed to garden. Neighbors saw her out on the warm days last week and a bag of mulch in her front yard shows the plans she had, now cut short in a way no one saw coming.
"Why anybody would do this to her if they did anything to her I don't know why. It doesn't make sense. She was a good woman," Kilby said.
Crime scene investigators were still on scene late Sunday evening processing the house, but did not reveal any new information.
Family members say they saw a window broken out at the back of the house, leading them to question if someone broke in.
The victim's husband was at the home overnight, sleeping in a separate bedroom. He is disabled and legally blind.
The family is asking anyone with information to come forward and call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

Last Christmas, Noah Wyatt was just a face in an ultrasound photograph.
This year, he is a beautiful baby with blue eyes, reddish blond curls and an irresistible urge to get his hands on our Christmas tree and all the presents under it.
Wyatt doesn't know much about Santa right now, but he understands the spirit of Christmas better than many adults.
"Joyful" is the best description I can give of my son. Wyatt smiles at everybody, from the cashier ringing up our groceries to the nurse who just gave him a flu shot.
Like all little boys, Wyatt can be frustrating at times. Then he grins or giggles and I forget why I wanted to pull my hair out.
His good mood is contagious. I can find peace at the end of any stressful day while holding my sleepy, snoring chunky monkey.
Lately, some of my favorite nights have been when Zac and Wyatt curl up on the couch together while I wash dishes.
When I finally get to sit down, I turn off the television and watch my handsome husband and son sleeping, bathed in the glow of Christmas tree lights.
The house is warm and silent. Sometimes, I start thinking about the little family similar to mine who were involved in the first Christmas.
I can't imagine carrying the Son of God, but I was almost as shocked by my pregnancy as Mary was by the angel's news.
At least I had been married for two months and had the support of family and friends.
I'm sure Joseph was a proud father like Zac, and we know how far he was willing to go to protect his son. Zac would move us to Egypt tomorrow too if Wyatt's life was in danger.
In some ways, baby Jesus might have been a lot like Wyatt.
I wouldn't be surprised if he bumped his head a few times while learning to crawl, got fussy when his first teeth were coming in and opened all of Mary's cabinets without permission.
Wyatt's birth certainly wasn't as miraculous as that of Jesus, but he is a miracle to me. I can't believe that I am the mother of someone so smart, so gorgeous, so innocent.
Last year, my Christmas column was called "A baby changes everything." Wyatt has turned my world upside down in ways I couldn't have predicted.
I always get a little melancholy around Christmas. I've never really understood why.
It is one of my favorite times of the year, but it can also make me feel like George Bailey in "It's a Wonderful Life."
If I, like George, got to see a world in which I had never been born, would it really be much different?
I've never saved anyone's life or career. As far as my own career goes, I'm not climbing the ladder of success quite as quickly as I always imagined that I would.
Some days it feels like I put a part of my heart and soul into stories that no one cares about but me.
I don't need a George Bailey breakdown to make me appreciate my simple yet wonderful life, though.
I'm not rich, but I can pay my bills.
I'm not famous, but I know how it feels to love and be loved.
I may never have a corner office or win a single journalism award, but the walls around my desk won't be empty. I'll always have pictures there of the happy, beautiful boy who gives me a great reason to wake up every morning.
I enjoy my job but not nearly as much as I do being Wyatt's mother.
He pays me the only way he can -- in smiles, laughter and sweet little snores.
Those gifts will last a lot longer than anything Santa puts under the tree for me this year.

By JEFF MEYERS and ANDREA VAN VALKENBURG Press-Republican
---- — PLATTSBURGH — Tina Arena knows firsthand how devastating multiple sclerosis can be.
Her mother, Pamela LaPlante, suffers from the chronic disease that targets the central nervous system, and she struggles with the disabling physical affects every day.
"It's a tough thing," Arena said.
"Some days she just doesn't have the energy and is in a lot of pain. Some days are good, and some days really aren't so good."
LaPlante was diagnosed with MS in 2002 but physicians believe it had been present for more than two decades before it was finally identified.
Arena, from Clintonville, will be among those gathering at the U.S Oval on Sunday to support research and community programs to assist people living with multiple sclerosis.
The second-annual Walk MS is set for 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with opening ceremonies set for 9:55 a.m.
"Last year was our inaugural event in Plattsburgh, and it went very well," said Stephanie Bradshaw, director of development for the Upstate New York Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
"We're really excited about continuing that success this year."
In 2012, 380 walkers participated in the walk, and they helped raise $49,000.
"Our goal (in 2012) was to raise $29,000," Bradshaw said of the tremendous support that helped exceed the goal by $20,000. "This year, we're hoping to raise $53,000."
Funds raised by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society are used for two main purposes: to support MS research and to provide local programs for people with the disease and their families.
"We spend millions and millions of dollars on research, but a portion of the money raised always stays in the community," Bradshaw noted.
For instance, a recent educational program was offered in Lake George to update people living with multiple sclerosis on current medical breakthroughs and what may be on the horizon in treatment of the disease, she explained.
"We're spending more money on research now than ever before," she said.
"It is an exciting time (for MS research)."
A recently approved oral medication is the first drug of its type, Bradshaw said. Traditionally, MS treatments involve medications that are injected with syringes.
The walk brings in donations through sponsorship, she said. Walkers collect pledges beforehand, and some also contribute themselves.
"Every little bit helps," Arena said of Sunday's fundraiser. "The more people know about (MS), the more people will get involved."
Arena said she and her mother have confidence that research will provide improved treatments and, someday, a cure for MS.
"They're getting closer to bigger things," she said. "With more funding, we could see big improvements."
The Upstate New York chapter has 203 registered people with multiple sclerosis living in Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties. Events like Sunday's walk also help new people connect with the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Bradshaw explained.
The regional chapter covers 50 counties in northeastern New York and provides services for 12,000 registered clients.
"The Plattsburgh walk is important for us because we don't have a big presence in that area," Bradshaw said. "The closest office is in Albany, so we wanted to institute an event (in the Plattsburgh area) to help people rally together (in support of MS research and education)."
Email Jeff Meyers:firstname.lastname@example.com
Walk MS 2013 is set for Sunday at the U.S. Oval in Plattsburgh. Registration is at 9 a.m. with opening ceremonies set for 9:55 a.m.
A 1-mile and 5K walk are scheduled.
Participants can also register in advance at www.nationalmssociety.org and also find information on the latest development in research.

Success stories of sport stars from South Gloucestershire in 2012
8:00am Monday 31st December 2012 in Yate and Sodbury Sport By Rob Iles, Sports editor covering the Thornbury, Dursley and Yate areas
MAKO VUNIPOLA has proved his former rugby coaches at Thornbury Broncos and The Castle School right by breaking into the England team this year.
The 20st prop was tipped from a young age to go far in the game and earned a shock call-up to the senior England squad at the age of 21 in November.
He came on as a replacement in all four autumn internationals, making his debut in the 54-12 win over Fiji, and was part of the side that recorded an historic 38-21 victory over world champions New Zealand at the start of this month.
Former England international Duncan Bell, who grew up in Hawkesbury and lives in Chipping Sodbury, announced his retirement in April and the Bath prop also became one of the most high profile people in the sport to speak out about his battle with depression.
Runners Hannah Alderson and Dan Studley have also gained international honours this year at under-23 level.
Tytherington-based Studley finished 38th overall on his England debut in the Burgos Cross Country International in Spain last month, while Alderson of Old Sodbury represented Great Britain for the first time at the prestigious European Cross Country Trials in Budapest, Hungary, earlier this month, although her race was marred by an ankle injury.
Footballer Gary Warren, who grew up in Olveston, has played at Wembley, Celtic Park and Ibrox in a memorable year.
He led Newport County out in the FA Trophy final at Wembley in May, although they lost 2-0 to York City, and one month later moved to Inverness Caledonian Thistle, managed by former England captain Terry Butcher in the Scottish Premier Division.
His time north of the border has already seen him be part of the side that beat Rangers 3-0 in a League Cup tie in October – where he scored – and a 1-0 win at Celtic in November, which was Inverness' first win there.
Another sports star from Olveston, Paul Nicholls, added the only major prize missing from his trophy cabinet when Neptune Collonges won the Grand National in April to secure the trainers' trophy for the seventh year in a row.
However, stable star Kauto Star was unable to win a third Gold Cup after winning the race to be fit for the Cheltenham Festival in March and Nicholls announced his retirement in October.
Yate-based motorbike racer Luke Hedger has also had a successful year, clinching the British 125GP Championship with one round to spare at Silverstone.
In golf, Thornbury junior member Charlotte Heeps was named in an England youth squad for the first time in November.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - For the fourth time this year, Ford is recalling the 2013 Ford Escape, but this time the 2013 Fusion has been added to the list. The recall, which affects more than 89,000 vehicles, is because of a problem with the 1.6 liter Ecoboost engine in both vehicles.
"There is a potential for this [engine] to overheat and it could result in a fire," said Virginia Payne with Downtown Ford.
Owners of the two recalled cars should bring their vehicle into a Ford dealership and they will be given a rental car until it is fixed. They do not have a timeline of how long it will take for the recall to be fixed.
Payne said they have not seen any damage among the recalled cars that have been turned in to her dealership.
"At my store I haven't seen anything, so I don't know," said Payne. "I don't know what's going on. We haven't had any of these come back with any kind of oil leak, or any kind of fuel link, or any type of fire issue at my store."
Payne said Downtown Ford customers are telling her they are happy with the vehicles and noted how proactive Ford has been in fixing any potential problems.
The Escape is made at Louisville Assembly Plant on Fern Valley Road. The Fusion is produced at a plant in Flat Rock, Michigan.
