If Missouri politicians had theme songs, what tune would accompany U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan? Would it be Dont Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult? Hit the Road Jack by Percy Mayfield? How about Survivors Eye of the Tiger?
Perhaps Carnahans detractors would choose the first two songs, especially since Missouri must give up a congressional seat for the 2012 election cycle. With a population decline in St. Louis City and a robust Republican legislature, many assumed Carnahans days as a federal lawmaker were numbered last year when Missouri lost a congressional seat.
For instance, Isaac Wood, who analyzes U.S. House races for political scientist Larry Sabato, said Carnahan was one of the most vulnerable lawmakers in the country even before the first redistricting maps were released. He said it was likely Carnahan would be forced to run against another congressman, either Republican Todd Akin or Democrat Lacy Clay.
That prediction seemed to come true when House and Senate committees revealed redistricted maps with St. Louis City encased in a single congressional district. Even a Democratic alternative kept St. Louis City in one district.
If Carnahan ran where he currently lives, he would have to go up against Clay in a Democratic primary. And if he ran against Akin, he would be battling in a district that could lean Republican.
Both Carnahan and Clay blasted the House proposal, saying in a joint statement the map emphasizes partisanship over fairness. Yet with big majorities in the House and Senate, Republicans may have enough votes to get their preferred map through the legislature.
But all might not be lost for Carnahan, whos experienced his share of harrowing electoral ring work. For one thing, Gov. Jay Nixon can veto any map that the GOP-dominated General Assembly passes, and House Republicans will be four votes short of having a supermajority. He told reporter Charles Jaco in February that the state is clearly split between the parties and it would be difficult to draw a 25 percent Democratic map without stretching the lines.
Judging from those words, a map that effectively takes Carnahan out of the congressional equation will not be viewed kindly by the governor. Unless Republicans can find at least four House Democrats to switch and make sure their members vote affirmatively, the GOP may have to temper their expectations.
Also worth considering: Carnahan may have a fighting chance of winning if he decides to run in the reconfigured 2nd District. While the House map features Republican strongholds of western St. Louis County and portions of St. Charles County, it also includes some Democratic-leaning municipalities throughout St. Louis County. The Associated Press noted earlier this month that Akins new district would be more competitive for Democrats than the current configuration.
Competitiveness may not be a bad thing. On the cynical side of things, a competitive seat would feed consultants of both parties for a few election cycles and give hope to a slew of St. Louis area wannabe congressmen. From a more good-government perspective, congressional districts with a more even partisan divide could organically force lawmakers to be less ideological and more attune to their districts.
Regardless, Carnahans future is at a crossroads. His path depends partly on a legislature that wants him to disappear. But it also depends on his political skill to survive.

floating sticky menu
Hey guys, I'm creating my first website and I have been playing with a few tutorials and learning some neat tricks but for the sake of simplicity I will get straight to the point.
I am using HTML5 and have started by making a large header which has a parallax effect, that works just fine, underneath that I have a container div for the entire site and inside that for testing purpose I have a logo, centred, bellow that a menu bar, also centred, and the 'page' which is basically where the content will go
What I want is for the menu bar to stay in the position i have placed it but upon scrolling down I want to to stick to the top of the browser with no easing effect just simply glued to the top until i scroll back to top, then I want it to get back into its position.
I have tried many, many, many times but I just cant seem to make it work
so if any one can either explain how to do so or direct me to a detailed tutorial
This is the exact effect I want(the 'help' button/menu);
except my menu is in the centre of the page!
My mark up is as follows;
<!DOCTYPE html>   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>test</title>     <link href="stylesheet2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

and the css is;
@charset "UTF-8"; #parallax { position:relative; overflow:hidden; width:100%; height:632px; background:url(backgroundp.jpg); background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat; } #back { position:absolute; width:95%; height:615px; background:url(back.png); } #smallballs { position:absolute; width:98%; height:622px; background:url(smallballs.png) } #bigballs { position:absolute; width:90%; height:605px; background:url(bigballs.png); } body { background-color:#f6f6f6;text-align:center;margin:0 auto; } #logo { background-image:url(logo.png); width:514px; height:154; margin: auto; } #page { width: 963; height: 4572; margin: auto; } #main { width: 963px; margin: 0 auto; } nav { width: 514px; height: 41px; margin: auto; }
so now what?

There's the sticky-float jQuery plugin that you can use. The demo page shows it with some easing, but that's only because it has a duration. When you specify a duration of 0 there is no easing.Programming Group Advisor

Matsui to have knee drained
Torre doesn't expect slugger to miss any time in ALDS
BALTIMORE -- Hideki Matsui left the Yankees to have his troublesome right knee drained in preparation for the postseason, the team announced on Saturday.
Matsui, 33, prepared to head back to New York during the Yankees' 11-10 victory over the Orioles at Camden Yards and will miss the club's regular-season finale on Sunday.
Yankees manager Joe Torre said that the procedure is not expected to change Matsui's status for the American League Division Series, which will begin for the Yankees next Thursday at Cleveland.
"It's nothing that is serious, but there was enough fluid in there to want to drain it," Yankees manager Joe Torre said.
Torre had said recently that he intends to use Matsui as a designated hitter throughout the playoffs, citing Johnny Damon's fresher legs in left field.
The knee issue had been a long-standing concern for Matsui, who batted just .185 in 81 September at-bats. The Japanese icon completed his fifth Major League season batting .285 with 25 home runs and 102 RBIs in 142 games for New York.

It remains to be seen if today's slight push past resistance holds as the bulls try for the third-straight session to clear AND hold resistance. All signs continue to point towards a breakout and new highs into March but we mentioned the Fed Head's testimony tomorrow could play a key role in helping or hurting the bullish case for stocks.
The zombies will be eager beavers to get more details on Janet Yellen's comments from the recession following the release of the Fed transcripts from 2008. In addition, the recently declining economic numbers and outlook have been atrocious so they will be asking questions on quantitative easing.
We are also taking a wait-and-see approach as we prepare for a possible breakout or breakdown. We have listed a few index options on our Watch List to play the market's next major move and our portfolio is in great shape to add new trades as we continue to cash out call options on the market's rebound.
While we do have a few put positions that are underwater, they are still a good insurance policy at this point. We learned our lesson from last February not to load up on false breakdowns and this is what happened at the beginning of the month this year. The market has been resilient ever since the 6%-8% dip in the indexes and we have penciled-in higher fluff targets and a possible rally into March.
Again, today's close and tomorrow's reaction to the Fed Speak should give us the clues we are looking for to confirm the next leg higher – along with Friday's close.
As we make the turn, the Dow is up 40 points to 16,219 while the S&P 500 is higher by a 4 points to 1,849. The Nasdaq is gaining 22 points to 4,309 and has cleared 4,300 again. The Russell 2000 is advancing 10 points to 1,184 and is testing its official/ unofficial all-rime highs.
The one troublesome sign for the bulls is the S&P 500 Volatility Index ($VIX, 13.91, up 0.24). The VIX is up 2% and has kissed 14.49. A close above 15 would be bearish but the bulls have wiggle room up to 17.50 that is now the new no flinching target until triggered.
We will be watching the close like we always do and while we don't have a New Trade as we head to press, we could have one by the closing bell. There is one trade for the Daily and another one for the Weekly Wrap we like so stay locked-and-loaded. Subscribers, hit the Members Area for the current option trade updates.

Rushville Republican
A plane crash claimed the lives of four individuals Sunday evening.
According to reports from Greensburg Police Department (GPD) Detective Bill Meyerrose, the Decatur County Sheriff's Department (DCSD) received an emergency call at approximately 6:19 p.m. Sunday from a local resident claiming a plane had crashed.
At about 6:30 p.m., the GPD received a call from the FAA asking if an investigation into the missing aircraft was being conducted. The plane had been tracked via radar, but the signal had been lost approximately one and a half to two miles south of the Greensburg Municipal Airport.
More than 125 law enforcement officials and emergency responders from fire departments throughout the county soon arrived at the Decatur County fairgrounds and set up a makeshift operations center in the fair buildings.
The craft was finally located at approximately 10:45 p.m. Det. Meyerrose confirmed the four casualties shortly after midnight.
Responders used ATVs to reach the crash site, which was said to be about a mile to a mile and a half south of the airport.
Det. Meyerrose told media the families of the victims had been notified late Sunday evening, but he declined to release the names of those killed in the crash.
The FAA and Decatur County Coroner Charity Banks are expected to be on the scene Monday morning to investigate the crash further.
Meyerrose said the coroner's office will release the names of the victims at a later time.
Earlier reports identified the aircraft as a Piper PA-46.
The Daily News will have more information on this story as it becomes available.

That's That Shit: 10/24/2012: Iron Man 3 Trailer, Archie and Glee Crossover and Lebron JamesA comics news article
Last Week's News, This Week's Comics for 10/24/2012
Hi. That's That Shit is exactly what it says above -- we talk in-depth about everything that happened in the comics world last week, and then look forward to some notable releases slated for this coming Wednesday.
Your panel of judges are Comics Bulletin Managing Editors Danny Djeljosevic and Nick Hanover, who pretty much have paper and ink in their blood, and CB Columns Editor Andrew Tan, who got his start in comics late in life through Adrian Tomine and is slowly dipping his toes into the broader aspects of the medium. So we deliver the news, Andrew asks the questions and hopefully everyone learns something.
Bang on.
P.O.S. is in need of a kidney transplant. So if you have an extra kidney, let him know. Otherwise, the least you could do is buy his new album, We Don't Even Live Here.
The Iron Man 3 Trailer is Out
Just moments after the teaser trailer came out, actually.
Danny: Remember the days when we thought it was totally ridiculous that Marvel Studios was leading their big cinematic push with an Iron Man movie? We were very dumb, but the movies were a hit and now we have our first post-Avengers Marvel movie, where Tony Stark appears to be reeling from the events of 2012's big team-up movie and the Mandarin and Guy Pearce are set on destroying his life. It's a bit Dark Knight Rises what with the enemies from the first movie coming back to fuck shit up. But it's directed by Shane Black so it'll have lots of pithy comebacks and such.
Nick: The involvement of Shane Black essentially guaranteed I'd be buying a ticket to this opening day, since the last time he and RDJR teamed up it was on the wonderful (and career reviving, in RDJR's case) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which remains one of my favourite neo-noirs. In Downey Jr., Black has a perfect vehicle for those pithy comebacks and I'm reasonably confident that no matter how formulaic the plot winds up being, the chemistry between director and lead will more than make up for it.
Andrew: I am very excited about this movie and I can't help but hope for the return of Evil Ben Folds, aka Justin Hammer. Also, do you guys know if the Mandarin spoke in a stereotypical Kato-like accent a la the Green Hornet?
Nick: Does this answer your question, Andrew?
Andrew: Oh god.
WB Gets Serious About Justice League Film
Wants to Know If That Joss Whedon Fellow is Available
Nick: Warner Bros' track record when it comes to adapting DC franchises is less than stellar, but given the success of that Avengers movie you may have heard about and the recent court decision that effectively secured their ownership of 50% of Superman, WB is now speeding up development on their long gestating Justice League film. Of course, much of Marvel's success with their films has been attributed to the shared continuity of the properties they hold the film rights to, which allowed the core figures of the Avengers -- Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Hulk -- to have their own wildly successful films before their team-up hit theatres this summer. DC not only lacks that shared continuity, but of the planned Justice League roster, only one hero (Batman) has had a successful franchise in the past two decades while two of the other JL characters (Wonder Woman and Flash) have yet to appear in films at all. WB seems to hope that a Justice League film (and the potential success of the upcoming Man of Steel) will be provide the boost that DC needs with its film properties.
Andrew: Honestly, it's hard for me to imagine this succeeding with all the points you bring up Nick. You're basically asking everyone to care about characters they'll be meeting for the first time and kind of undermining any drama of the next films because any villain after Justice League has to be smaller in scope.
Danny: I think doing the reverse of Marvel's method might work for DC -- the fact that it'll be a movie where Batman and Superman occupy the same screen will draw audiences, I think -- but their problem is that, judging by Green Lantern, they can't seem to figure out who to hire to make these films. Meanwhile Marvel Studios have made some pretty daring choices (Jon Favreau, Kenneth Branagh) and some serious no-brainers (Joss Whedon, Joe Johnston).
Live Action Family Circus Film in Development
Humanity Prepares for Inevitable Live Action Funky Winkerbean
Film Doomsday Event
Nick: Because Marmaduke was such a rousing success, Fox has now moved forward on making a Family Circus film and they've even hired two basically unknown screenwriters with hardly any experience to bring it to life. Because, hey, who needs actual, quality screenwriters and original ideas when you can just get two random hacks to adapt the world's second least beloved comic strip for you? Especially when said quality screenwriters can't stop laughing long enough to actually respond to you when you ask if they'd like to write a live action Family Circus film.
Andrew: A mini-economy of at least 100 people will be built around said Family Circus, a one panel/one sentence comic, film. And people say we're in tough economic times.
Danny: I'm so stoked that a Family Circus film is going to exist. I'm never going to watch it, but I think it needs to be made or else we'd be wondering, "Huh, why haven't they made a Family Circus movie yet? Not that I'm going to watch it, but you'd think they'd have made one by now."
Glee and Archie Are Crossing Over
Finally, Glee reaches a medium where we don't have to listen to Glee covers.
Danny: Archie #641 will kick off a multi-part crossover with the cast of Glee written by Glee writer Robert Aguirre-Sacasa and drawn by Archie regular artist Dan Parent, Comics Alliance reports. I love Archie and Glee shot itself in the foot after the first half of Season 1. Graeme McMillan points out that three of the Glee actors were obviously redrawn on that cover, which reminds me of the time they redrew Superman's head in all those Jack Kirby comics and completely puts me into a rage worse than the last time I saw an episode of that prime-time-karaoke-ass show.
Andrew: How can anyone genuinely think something from Glee can survive without an a capella version of some current pop song? Will the comic come with a download card?
Nick: Well, this kind of gimmicky crossover isn't new to comics, since in the past it's given us such bizarre mash-ups like the Avengers & David Letterman and that time Savage Dragon endorsed Obama. Archie and Glee is almost perfect synergy, though, since recently Archie has tied itself to gay rights in a way that Ryan Murphy wishes he could pull off. Plenty of comic fans don't know about Archie's progressive bent, let alone Glee fans, so the likelihood of this opening Glee fans' eyes to the series is good. If you ask me, this is the type of partnership Marvel and DC should be looking for, rather than, say, giving basketball players their own power fantasy in panel form.
Andrew: Also, what's the deal with the redrawn Superman head Danny?
Danny: When Jack Kirby jumped ship to DC Comics from Marvel, he decided to take over their lowest selling book (Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen) so that he wasn't putting anybody out of a job on any of their more successful books. Jack Kirby draws unmistakably like Jack Kirby, and I suppose DC had a problem with putting out a comic where Superman didn't look like their milquetoast DC house style, so they had some regular Superman artists redraw the head to resemble the guy appearing in Action Comics. It's really dumb, but it makes for a hilariously bizarre effect.
Marvel Made a Lebron James Comic
Correction: Marvel Made a Lebron James Comic Where HE HAS ROBOT LEGS
Andrew: I know next to nothing about professional basketball, but if this doesn't involve a chaos dunk I'm not interested. Also seriously, why didn't they hire Chef Boyardee of Barkley, Shut up and Jam: Gaiden to write this one?
Nick: Because they're too busy writing the Shaq equivalent of JCVD, obviously.
Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity #1 (of 4)
(Brandon Graham; Image)
Sexica and her Werewolf boyfriend Nikoli travel across a sci-fi, fantasy Russia smoking singing cigarettes. Meanwhile the organ hunter, Nura is sent out with a severed head and instructions to find its body.
Danny: New Brandon Graham comics make us happy. Fairbanks already reviewed it, but lemme tell you what makes Brandon Graham so great: he's a distinct voice in comics with a penchant for puns that puts Andrew and I to shame. He's a great artist whose work branches out into manga-style territory (King City), European barbarian sci-fi (Prophet) and even porn (Pillow Fight). So, yeah -- I'm excited for this book.
Nick: Graham is my favourite kind of comic creator, one who effortlessly fits in to both the pop and art comic worlds, with his incredible imagination and willingness to toy with the structures and forms of the medium wherever possible. 2012 has been a huge year for him and I don't think he'll be slowing down any time soon.
Andrew: Don't forget, Graham also draws the ROUNDEST BUTTS IN THE BIZ. Seriously how close do you think the butts in this book will approach the proper x2 + y2 = r2 ?
Nick: I don't remember that formula appearing in the lyrics of "Baby Got Back," are you sure you've got it right?
Andrew: Apparently the fine folks over at MANswers have uncovered a better equation anyway.
Danny: [cuts off penis out of shame for own gender]
Wolverine MAX #1
(Jason Starr, Roland Boschi, Connor Willumsen; Marvel)
ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES! Your favorite X-Man done the way you wanted to see him--in a no-holds-barred MAX series! Written by award-winning crime novelist Jason Starr (PUNISHER MAX, The Chill). In modern-day Tokyo, Logan gets pulled into a terrorist's plot...or was he the target all along? A new look at Wolverine's past!
Danny: Marvel's traditionally been a bit reluctant to do adults-only MAX comics based on the characters they make toys from (save The Punisher), so it's surprising to see Wolverine MAX existing, especially while the publisher is owned by Disney. From this, I expect a gritty, ultraviolent bit of comic book pulp. If Wolverine MAX isn't a hit, I'll be shocked.
Andrew: Do you think this is the leadup before another Wolverine reboot considering how the last Wolverine movie completely tanked?
Danny: Another Wolverine movie taking place in Japan is already shooting. I can say with confidence it won't be nearly as bad as the first one.
Nick: Honestly, I think this is happening because in the Marvel U, Wolverine has suddenly gone from Marvel's Premier Loner to a guy who has suddenly found himself incapable of saying no to teams that offer him membership. A MAX series makes perfect sense because it allows the old school Wolverine to have a designated outlet, where he doesn't have to be involved in a team for every letter of the alphabet and where he can be the brutal samurai Chris Claremont and Frank Miller turned him into way back when. I don't think the film really enters into the equation, especially since it's not a Marvel production and since it's likely going to be PG-13 again anyway.
That aside, I have to say that I'm a little disappointed in the creative line-up here. Starr's Vertigo Crime entry The Chill was one of my least favourite releases in that line and I'm not sure a crime novelist is the right fit for Wolverine, who doesn't solve crimes so much as he causes and expands on them. Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but this isn't something I'm going to rush to pick up. I mean, come on, look at that plot summary! Is this the Wolverine version of Taken??
Andrew: Nick, you've now implanted the image of Liam Neeson playing Wolverine and I must thank you.
Came the Dawn and Other Stories
(Wally Wood; Fantagraphics)
From the legendary Wally Wood, Fantagraphics proudly presents one of two premiere releases in our highly-anticipated new EC reprint line. Ranging from supernatural shockers from the Tales from the Crypt and The Haunt of Fear to pointedly contemporary crime thrillers from Crime SuspenStories, these compelling and superbly crafted classics will be accompanied by extensive essays and notes on these historic stories by EC experts.
Danny: I've probably said this before, but Fantagraphics puts out a nice mix of new stuff and beautiful-looking archival material. Here we've got a collection of EC Comics by Wally Wood, one of the unsung legends of comics. He's not known as well in the superhero crowd aside from co-creating T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents and drawing some Daredevil, but he's a master of the form, and if you even remotely care about the process of making comics you've studied his "22 Panels that Always Work!!" I've got it taped to the wall next to my desk.
Nick: The last couple years have been great for reevaluations of lesser known comic figures and Fantagraphics has played a big part in that. Wood's EC material is amongst his finest work and even if you're unfamiliar with him as a creator, EC itself is an easy recommendation for exploration.
Andrew: Wally Wood? More like you all-ey should buy this comic right?
Ghost #1 (of 4)
(Kelly Sue DeConnick, Phil Noto; Dark Horse)
The enigmatic Ghost, along with paranormal investigators Tommy and Vaughn, takes to the streets of Chicago in search of the crystal-powered machine that first conjured her, hoping to find clues to her mysterious past life. But the machine's original owners have a deadly agenda of their own. Picking up right where Ghost #0 left off, Ghost #1 continues Kelly Sue DeConnick (Captain Marvel) and Phil Noto's (Angel & Faith) reimagining of Dark Horse's greatest heroine!
Danny: I always thought Ghost looked like a cool character, even though I hadn't read a damned thing of it except for the #0 issue collecting the serial from the new Dark Horse Presents, which I liked (Zack Davisson wasn't as keen). So I'm stoked to read more of Ghost. DeConnick's a fun writer who's getting a lot of work these days, and I always appreciate Phil Noto when I get him.
Nick: I'm loving the changes Noto has made to Ghost's design and Kelly Sue DeConnick has more than proven herself capable of reinventing lesser known characters with this year's Captain Marvel series, which has breathed new life into Ms. Marvel, formerly one of Marvel's most confusing and poorly treated characters. I'll admit I barely remember the original character, and even then only because I wound up with all of those "Comics' Greatest World!" Dark Horse titles only after I bought the entire comics inventory of a Half-Price Books in Houston once. Still, I can tell you that Ghost was way better than Vortex and Barb Wire. Not that that says much.
Danny: I won't rest until I'm writing a relaunch of Rebel:
Bravest Warriors
(Joey Comeau, Mike Holmes; BOOM! Studios)
Based on ADVENTURE TIME creator Pendleton Ward's brand new animated series!
Join Chris, Wallow, Beth and Danny, four 16-year-old heroes-for-hire, as they warp from galaxy to galaxy, saving alien races with the power of their...emotions. They're noble, righteous and totally bodacious! This new series of original comics based on the new series from ADVENTURE TIME creator Pen Ward is sure to be a smash!
Danny: It's already sold out and gone to a second printing, so catch it if you're into that sort of thing. I am -- I loved the original Bravest Warriors short and hiring Joey Comeau of A Softer World to write it is as inspired as getting Ryan North to script Adventure Time. And Mike Holmes is a supremely talented artist who once drew himself in the art style of pretty much every major comic creator, so this is likely going to be a solid read.
Andrew: I am so unbelievably jazzed for just about everything that has anything to do with Pendleton Ward.
Nick: OKAY GUYS I GET IT I NEED TO GET UP TO SPEED ON ADVENTURE TIME ENOUGH ALREADY.

Superintendent Lawsky reminds banks of the procedures for emergency closing of offices
Because of possible storm damage from Hurricane Sandy, including flooding and power outages, senior management of New York-chartered banking organizations may wish to familiarize themselves with the statutory procedures for emergency closing of bank offices. The Industry Letter, which summarizes the authority and procedures for emergency office closings where the Governor has not declared a bank holiday, may be found here.
In brief:
Definition of Emergency
An emergency is any condition which may interfere with the conduct of normal banking operations, at one or more or all offices of a banking organization, or which poses an imminent or existing threat to the safety and security of persons or property, or both, including floods, wind, rain, hail, snow storms, power failures, transportation failures, and any similar or different condition which may interfere physically with the conduct of normal banking operations.
Determinations by Bank Management
Where the Governor has not declared a bank holiday, the General Construction Law relies on the officers of the banking organization to make a determination whether the bank can conduct normal operations and functions at its offices. The following summary covers different situations that may apply and whether prior approval or after-the-fact notice of a closing is permitted. Please note that the Superintendent has delegated the authority to receive notices and grant authorizations to Deputy Superintendents. Notice may be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
Closing of Non-Principal Office or Offices
- Bank's officers declare emergency, i.e. normal business cannot be conducted at the office or offices.
- Office or offices may be closed provided business functions are relocated to principal office or another office.
- No Superintendent prior approval required.
- Notify Superintendent of office closing immediately.
Closing of Principal Office
- Emergency affects principal office operations.
- Without prior approval, principal office may be closed if principal office operations relocated to another office. Notify Superintendent immediately.
- Only with prior approval of Superintendent, principal office may be closed if operations cannot be relocated to another office.
Closing of Certain Businesses or Functions at the Principal Office but not entire office
- Emergency affects the conduct of certain businesses or functions at principal office.
- Bank must try to relocate functions to a non-principal office.
- If not feasible to relocate:
- With prior approval, bank may discontinue the businesses or functions.
- Without prior approval, bank may discontinue the businesses or functions but only if a good faith effort has been made to contact Superintendent to obtain approval to discontinue businesses or functions. Notify Superintendent immediately.

Second beer of Cinco De Mayo!!!! Aguila Light is what you would expect it to be...similar to the Miller Lites. The color is golden and clear. There is decent carbonation, but there is no head. There smell is non-existent and the taste is a solid light beer. Standard hints of grain. The beer is very light on the mouth and easy drinking. Crack one when its hot out and you will not be dissappointed.

Predominant corn aroma.
Refreshing taste of an adjunct lager without much off-flavors while cold. Very mild bitterness, with sweetness from adjunct and malt (also mild).
Watery body with good carbonation and a crisp feeling.
I was quite thirst and this beer hit the spot. Meaning, for this time it did fit its purpose, don't expect too many flavors.

'05 Re-review:
Its just the Aguila throwing a sort of Corona spinoff. Bright pale straw coloured (transparent bottling too), bright white fizzy and thin head to match. Sour smell, skunked with some hops to it as well. The taste is quite tangy too, but just seems so watery you'll have a hard time finding anything interesting within. lots of gas for such a tasteless brew.

This is water with an alcohol content IMO. Pours gold in color with little to no head. A hint of hops in the aroma, taste is about the same not much to it, I've had some sugar water with more flavor. Some carbonation and a descent mouthfeel nothing great about this just that you can drink a ton of it. This is more like the beer that you drink after 8 hours of hard labor in the sun something to refresh you before you move on to something better.

Stephen Fincher on Government Reform
Despite congressional reforms over the past several years to reduce pork barreling and increase earmark accountability and transparency, earmarks continue to figure prominently as the "currency of corruption" on Capitol Hill, undermining the federal budgetary process and our democratic system of government. In an effort to encourage more members of Congress and candidates for office to kick the earmarking habit, CCAGW has launched a new no-gimmicks, anti-pork pledge.
Congressional Summary: Resolution Disapproving of the President's appointment of four officers during a period when no recess of the Congress for a period of more than three days and expressing that those appointments were made in violation of the Constitution.
Text of Resolution:
OnTheIssues Notes:Pres. Obama attempted to appoint Elizabeth Warren to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in May 2011; House Republicans disapproved of Ms. Warren. House Speaker John Boehner disallowed the Senate's adjournment resolution, which meant the Senate was legally not adjourned and Pres. Obama could not make a "recess appointment" which would otherwise be allowed. This Resolution brings the issue to the fore again, for another set of Obama appointments for which House Republicans disapprove.

ESSEX — Four local school districts are among 25 in 11 states honored by College For Every Student.
The program has cited Crown Point Central School, Plattsburgh High School, Ticonderoga Middle School and Willsboro Central School.
The Essex-based organization, a national nonprofit, helps underserved students prepare for, gain access to and succeed in college.
For its Schools of Distinction honor, it chooses districts that "create high levels of college readiness and (raise) aspirations among their students," a press release said.
The award recognizes schools with exemplary programs that incorporate the three College for Every Student core practices: leadership through service, mentoring and pathways to college.
At Willisboro Central, for example, every junior and senior student has a community leader as a mentor who helps guide them through the college process, the release said.
The mentor/mentee pairs work together for two years, visiting colleges and building college and financial-aid knowledge.
Every student in the class of 2013 at Willsboro Central School earned college acceptance, the release said.
The process that College for Every Student follows to choose its Schools of Distinction is rigorous. Schools are assessed through end-of-year portfolios and final reports. Through photos, statistics, writing samples and written initiatives, schools document their leadership through service activities, mentoring programs, campus visits and college knowledge attained by their students.
They also demonstrate student gains in attendance, academic achievement and citizenship, the release said.
"These schools are the best of the best, and I congratulate them for their great work in giving their students opportunities that are putting them on the path to college," CFES President and CEO Rick Dalton said.

Kitchen Makeover in 2 Days
Installation DescriptionA glue-up ceiling installation using Cambridge White Ceiling Tiles, and Decorative Strips.
Customer Testimonial
This is the second project I have done in my home with your ceiling tiles. My home was built in 1980 and had the traditional 4'x8' recessed light well in the kitchen with the four plastic panels mounted flush with the ceiling. Too much HGTV for my wife and she wanted something done to change it. I wasn't interested in a major kitchen remodel so I made my own plan for a change. I removed all the wood trim holding up the plastic panels and removed the fluorescent light fixtures. A sheet of masonite to cover the ceiling of the well, 2 new light fixtures and on went your tiles. Matching beadboard on the sides of the well, new trim and walla, it was done in 2 days and we think it looks great! Thanks for making a great product that is reasonable in price.

Wallace ready to end his drought for Burnley
9:55am Friday 7th December 2012 in News By Suzanne Geldard, Burnley FC reporter
ROSS Wallace is a man on a mission – to fire Burnley up the Championship by finding his shooting boots, and play his way to a new Turf Moor deal.
The winger is one of seven senior players whose contract is up at the end of the season.
Wallace insists he would jump at the chance to stay.
"I love it here," he said.
And he feels if the Clarets can keep the nucleus of the squad together – particularly through the January transfer window, and tie up deals for others, they can be a team to watch in the promotion push.
"We've got a good squad, we just need to build on that," said the Scot ahead of tomorrow's trip to Nottingham Forest.
"We've got a few players out of contract and I think it's important we get that sorted early doors.
"I've not heard anything yet – I don't think anyone has – but I'm pretty sure the board will have one eye on it.
"You're trying to build some-thing then if you've got six or seven out of contract – with five or six of those in the team – it wouldn't be very good if all those players left. But I'm pretty sure the board know what's happening, they're not stupid. I'm sure it will get sorted."
Wallace added: "Like everybody you'd be lying if you said you didn't have one eye on the situation. But it's not up to me, it's up to the manager to decide what he wants to do.
"If he asks me to sign a new contract, well, I love it here."
Wallace has weighed in with some impressive performances under new boss Sean Dyche, and provided assists for four goals this season.
But after a number of near misses he can't wait to add to the scoresheet himself.
"I've been disappointed that I've not scored yet this season. I've been gutted. But it's not for the want of trying," said the Scot, who last season went on a run of scoring in four straight league games – the first Claret to achieve such a streak in six years.
"I've had a lot of good shots recently. I had the one at Hull off the bar and keepers have made a couple of good saves.
"I've been practising shooting.
"This time last year I had a few games where I was scoring. Hopefully I'm saving them for towards the end of the season when we're up there maybe.
"I feel like I'm getting closer.
"Hopefully if I get one they'll just continue."
Overall, however, Wallace is happy with his current form, and believes he is benefiting from playing in the 4-3-3 formation that Dyche has largely utilised, with Wallace and Martin Paterson either side of central striker Charlie Austin.
"It's helped me get further up the pitch. The manager's tried to get me closer to Charlie - me and Pato," said the former Celtic, Sunderland and Preston wide man.
"With Deano (Dean Marney) bombing on as well and playing further forward I think me and him have been linking up really well in midfield. We've been getting up the pitch, and that gets Tripps (Kieran Trippier) up the pitch as well.
"With us all being down that right hand side we've been dominating games there and getting balls in for Charlie."
Wallace added: "We've changed slightly with one up front, with Charlie on his own.
"He's doing a good job of leading the line but to be fair I'm coming inside and Pato's coming inside on his right foot so we're never that far away from him.
"People say he's up on his own but he's not really – we're only ever 10-15 yards away from him."

Appalling treatment of city studentFebruary 21,2014After reading the article State: City schools violated students right to education, I was shocked. How could a student in the Rutland City Public School system have been treated this way? How many others have received this unfair treatment? This student was physically restrained (pinned to the floor by four to six adults holding wrists and ankles) and left in an empty room for hours a day with no educational instruction for three months. Reading this bothered me so much that I looked into it more. The details of what occurred are even more appalling.
The school district needs to admit that what they did is wrong and provide and use the proper training with staff members and educators who work within our school system. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the students and educators.
Rutland City Schools has an anti-bullying program that encourages people to speak up when someone is being treated unfairly. Looking the other way is not an option. So I encourage others to let the school know how you feel about their actions.
This is a subject that cannot be ignored.

(C) 1973 This Record Co. Limited.
(P) 1973 This Record Co. Limited.
By 1973, Elton John & Bernie Taupin had already logged enough hits to become a part of rock history, but even as their fanbase continued to grow, they hadn't yet reached their peak. When HONKY CHATEAU became Elton's first #1 album in 1972, it proved that he was not just someone FM radio played all the time, even AM listeners (and the biggest single-buyers) had taken notice as well. Continuing with the breakneck pace of his early `70s days, Elton turned up DON'T SHOOT ME I'M ONLY THE PIANO PLAYER early in '73 & won his first #1 single with "Crocodile Rock". Whether or not, Elton & Bernie had a sudden burst of creativity or wanted to give their fans more bang for their buck, they decided to make the next LP a double, which as rock history has dictated many times before, is almost a no-win situation. Rarely has a double album been great with every single song & needless to say, Elton & Bernie's certainly wasn't. But even their lesser songs were still darn good, making GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD not only their crowning achievement, but a good example of how a double album should be made.
Right from the grandiose opener, Elton & Bernie certainly did their homework on the ways of a double album. "Funeral For A Friend/Love Lies Bleeding" shows the influence of progressive rock on music of the time with its spacey synthesizer intro (not done by Elton) before leading into the piano-pounding rocker that details the end of a love affair in musical terms. Naturally, this had to have made one hell of an opener in Elton's concerts of this period & even when you just listen to it now, you can almost hear the possibilities for a stage performance of this song.
After that opening, ROAD takes the listener on many twists & turns through just about every conceivable genre of music that inspired Elton & Bernie throughout their careers up until that point. They namecheck reggae on "Jamaica Jerk-Off" (which sure is catchy, but not one you listen to a lot), R&B on the #1 hit "Bennie & The Jets" (it was also a hit on R&B stations, as well), Stones-based rock & misogyny on "Dirty Little Girl", more prog rock on the Yes-inspired "Grey Seal" & 1950s rock on "Your Sister Can't Twist [But She Can Rock & Roll]" (best when played as a segue to "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting"). Occasionally, some songs sound better musically than lyrically, but you'd be a fool not to enjoy yourself either way.
But through all the genre experiments, there are still the perfect melodies & intelligent lyrics that have always been Elton & Bernie's fortes & ROAD still has plenty of those to spare. These include the #2 hit title track, the Marilyn Monroe tribute "Candle In The Wind" (a song that sounds good in both versions, believe it or not!), the heartbreaking closer "Harmony" (which has just that, beautiful harmonies equal to the Beach Boys) & cinematic epics like "I've Seen That Movie Too", "Ballad Of Danny Bailey [1909-34]" & "Roy Rogers".
Even with the hectic schedule Elton & Bernie put themselves on back in the 1970s, maybe a panoramic statement like GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD didn't seem all that impossible. But the fact it was Elton's second album of the year made it all the more astounding. With 3 major hit singles (the title track, "Bennie & The Jets" & "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting") & considerable airplay for about all the other songs on here, ROAD's runaway success was more than justified. While the follow-up would indicate maybe the duo had written themselves out, GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD still showed Elton John & Bernie Taupin at the top of their respective games & even today, it's something they should still be enormously proud of.
Elton John - Candle in the Wind
. This is the original and absolutely the best--the performance, his voice, the strange muffly sound, Marilyn's film clips, those candles in the dark, his modern Mozart wig... the whole thing is inspired.

I love that elton recorded this once, and played publicly once. When asked either he would play it again he replied that he would play only at the command of two people: William and Harry. Even if the queen asked him to he would say no. God bless you Elton,

FTD Uses ProCurve Network to Remain Atop the Floral Industry
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
As one of the world's leading purveyors of floral-related products and services, FTD serves florists in addition to consumers. Its network of roughly 20,000 "member florists" works directly with FTD to send, receive and fulfill customer orders. Over the years, the communication and technology linkages between FTD's corporate offices and its cache of partners had become splintered between Windows, Unix and modem-based systems. To standardize and improve its business interactions with member florists, FTD created the "Total Floral Shop," a robust system that provides order processing, accounting, GPS and email marketing capabilities. Based in part on HP ProCurve Networking switches, the solution has enabled FTD to reduce operational costs, improve partner support, attract new member florists and boost revenue.

Two Richmond groups are asking a judge to let them publish documents that could put the lives of Richmond Police officers and their sources at risk.
In December, NBC12 told you about an injunction, which ordered two Richmond groups to take links to sensitive police files off their websites. Now, those groups want the injunction dissolved.
Lawyers for The Wingnut Anarchist Collective, Virginia CopBlock and Richmond Police Department were in court Monday and will be back again Thursday. From the documents we're learning more about a hard drive containing sensitive files and just how dangerous police believe they can be in the wrong hands.
For a time, Richmond Police officers, their families and confidential informants were breathing a sigh of relief. Links to documents that listed their names and addresses were taken off the internet and out of the public eye.
But representatives of The Wingnut Anarchist Collective and Virginia CopBlock, which are known for ruffling feathers and holding authorities accountable, are still fighting what they see as a first amendment issue over a police hard drive.
We learned Tuesday, that USB stick in question belongs to Capt. Martin Harrison. Court documents reveal he used to transport documents from his office in headquarters to a weekly Monday meeting in another room in the building.
On November 15th, Harrison became aware of the files posted online.
That's when he discovered the hard drive was missing. Court documents reveal he searched his office and the meeting room. Both are in secure areas inside headquarters. They also explain the captain doesn't recall ever taking the hard drive outside of that building.
Lawyers for RPD wrote in their court filings no one with the authority to do so gave the information to anyone outside the department. And according to the lawsuit, they wouldn't.
There's a phrase on the streets: "snitches get stitches." Cops are afraid of dangerous retaliation if the information gets out. It mentions confidential sources, some of whom have worked with police on drug buys.
The documents say the consequences could affect public safety, reducing the ability of those sources to continue to operate and deterring others from assisting investigations.
A lawyer for The Wingnut Anarchist Collective and Virginia CopBlock did not return phone calls Tuesday. In an earlier interview, Andrew Bodoh said the first amendment protects the public's ability to publish truthful information and that his clients simply posted links to it.
