Heidi Heitkamp
Heidi Heitkamp is a Democratic member of the United States Senate, representing the state of North Dakota. She was first elected in November 2012.[1]
Heidi Heitkamp grew up in North Dakota and served as State Tax Commissioner and State Attorney General, both elected positions. In each of those contests, she won over 60% of the vote and voters still rate her very favorably.
Heitkamp is remembered more than two-to-one positively for her job as State Attorney General, and has high favorability ratings. As attorney general, she was a leader in the national settlement with the tobacco companies that required them to pay restitution to the states.
Heidi Heitkamp grew up in modest circumstances in North Dakota and is one of seven children. When she was young, she worked for the Equal Rights Amendment and became very interested in the environment. She graduated from Lewis and Clark School of Law in Oregon, which has a special focus on the environment.
Heitkamp became an environmental attorney with the Environmental Protection Agency, but left when Ronald Reagan became President. She realized in stark terms that who is elected makes a real difference. She returned home and began to work for Kent Conrad, who was then state tax commissioner in North Dakota.
At the age of 28, she lost her first election in a close race to become N.D. Auditor. When Conrad ran for the Senate, Heitkamp stepped up to serve as State Tax Commissioner. Two years later she ran for the office and won. She was a popular two-term attorney general, but lost her quest to become North Dakota's governor in 2000. The contest was close, but she was handicapped when two months before the election she was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer, which has long been in remission.[2]
2012 CLW Senate victories
2012 CLW Senate Victories were;
Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Bob Casey (D-PA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Martin Heinrich (D-NM), Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Chris Murphy (D-CT) Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Jon Tester (D-MT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI).[3]
The Council said of Heitkamp;
- As a candidate for the U.S. Senate, Heitkamp stands for sensible foreign policy and endorses withdrawal of U.S. combat troops from Afghanistan and the reset of U.S. relations with Russia. She supports ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and the goal of securing and retrieving vulnerable nuclear-weapons usable materials worldwide within four years.[4]
Filibuster reform
The Communications Workers of America is to make filibuster reform a top cause and they're trying to bring the rest of the union movement along. The union reiterated that goal in post-election comments.
"The 2012 election makes the reform even more paramount," it said. "Seven Democratic senators-elect - Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Martin Heinrich (N.M.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Tim Kaine (Va.), Chris Murphy (Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) - have all already pledged to Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., to support rules reform. And Maine's Independent candidate, former Gov. Angus King won on a platform included filibuster reform as a major campaign issue.
"The American people want their elected officials to debate and address the major issues of our time and to move past obstruction for obstruction's sake," added CWA Legislative Director Shane Larson.[5]

DURHAM – Housing for New Hope, a local nonprofit that helps homeless people find permanent housing, is helping residents forced to move from financially troubled Lincoln Apartments find new housing.
Terry Allebaugh, executive director of the nonprofit, said Sunday that Housing for New Hope will match up to $5,000 in community donations to help the apartment complex's remaining tenants with housing deposits, rent and utilities.
"That would give us at least $10,000 to help the remaining tenants," Allebaugh said. "We're hoping the community responds so we can help them all."
Allebaugh said he believes 20 more households in the complex still need assistance. The majority of the 150 families that lived there have found other housing on their own.
He said Housing for New Hope volunteers with trucks helped two families move from the complex last week and will assist at least three more this week.
"We have about 20 other tenants who might need some help moving," Allebaugh said. "We will help them with that and we'll also be helping them find apartments that they can afford."
Allebaugh said the crisis at Lincoln Apartments highlights a need in Durham. "We need more affordable housing options," Allebaugh said.
Lincoln residents were told in September that the complex would close due to financial problems.
And while residents were initially told they had to leave by the end of October, the apartment complex's management has recently said it's open to allowing the remaining tenants to live their month-to-month until the end of the year provided they are current on their rent.
The 150-unit apartment complex is owned by the Lincoln Hospital Foundation Inc.
The foundation's bylaws call for it to transfer its property to the Durham Housing Authority or another nonprofit group if it goes out of business.
Its leaders offered the apartment complex to the Durham Housing Authority (DHA) last year, but DHA turned it down out of fear of having to shoulder a massive renovation bill.
Durham Rescue Mission founder Ernie Mills told The Herald-Sun earlier this month that he's been talking to the Lincoln Foundation about his organization perhaps acquiring the apartment complex.
Anyone wanting to help Housing for New Hope assist Lincoln residents can mail checks to Housing for New Hope, 18 W. Colony Place, Suite 250, Durham NC, 27705. Donations are tax deductible.
Volunteers and trucks are also needed to help move tenants to new locations.

One Small Thing Google Could Do to Increase the Amount of Paid Apps Being Bought
Maybe this is a little too obvious, or maybe it won't make a big enough splash, but here it is:
"Gift cards". Or rather, prepaid cards, much like iTunes cards.
I personally don't have a credit card, being a teenager, which means I'm limited to free apps on my GNex. I could sideload, but I don't believe in piracy.
Compare that to my iPad, where I can buy prepaid gift cards with whatever cash I have at the time, and then buy premium apps (and in-app purchased, such as coins on DrawSomething or brushes in Paper).
It's not too difficult, and I personally would use them. I'm not sure how big of a dent it would make, but think of it this way:
Apple - Uses credit cards and gift cards. Very successful with paid apps.
Amazon - Uses credit cards and gift cards. Successful with Paid apps.
Google - Uses credit cards. Not successful.
Just a thought.

Regulatory approval could actually be an untapped area for found time and money when it comes to getting medical devices to market. ThatŌĆÖs right, the very thing that many blame for slowing down the whole time-to-market process could actually be a good thing.
As the Medical Device Program Manager at the National Standards Authority (NSAI) of Ireland in Dublin, I have extensive experience helping clients obtain CE Markings for their medical devices so they can sell them in Europe. But requirements for getting FDA approval can be similar. While gaining a CE Marking doesnŌĆÖt automatically mean you can get approval by the FDA - or vice-versa - the data and information you use to get either approval will often be the same. By working with your notified body and letting it review the documents, easy-to-fix errors can be discovered and fixed. It sure beats having to wait weeks only to be told that your official application contained avoidable omissions and having to then go back and fix the problems.
I started to see the rise in popularity of pre-submission evaluations with CE Markings over the last year-and-a-half, after the European Union strengthened the requirements for clinical evaluations of medical devices one-and-a-half years ago. While the EU tightened the restrictions on companies being able to put off a clinical trial in favor of citing existing clinical data, it also was more explicit about how a medical device should be approved. Its MEDDEV 2.7.1 Rev 3 document, issued in late 2009, offers an excellent roadmap for how companies can work with Notified Bodies to get a product approved. By using this document as a guide, organizations such as NSAI have been able to help companies ŌĆ£get their ducks in a rowŌĆØ before formally submitting their technical file to support their application, resulting in much more definitive turnaround times.
Here are some tips for speeding up your CE Marking approval as well as almost any other regulatory approval.
Know the process. It sounds simple but understanding exactly what a clinical evaluation is and what the process for approval is will help you better prepare and respond to questions. For a CE Marking, we follow a five-step process that is outlined in the MEDEV document:
1. Identify the scope of the clinical evaluation. Are there any design features of the new device that requires specific attention to certain populations? The more new features, the more information youŌĆÖll need to provide.
2. Identify any clinical data that is used for existing devices that can be relevant to the new device and its intended use. This can be tricky because companies often will try to cite data and avoid having to stage a clinical trial. More about that later.
3. If yes to number two, then evaluate that data in terms of its suitability for establishing the safety and performance of the device.
4. If the existing data is insufficient, youŌĆÖll have to generate any clinical data needed to address outstanding issues, typically through a clinical trial. Additionally, if the device is high risk (based on new technologies with little track record) or creates a new clinical use for an existing device, you will need to perform a clinical trial regardless of what data is on the market.
5. Bring all the clinical data together to reach conclusions about the clinical safety and performance of the device. If there are any gaps, go back to #1 and restart the process to fill in the holes.
Be honest about the need for a clinical trial. As stated in steps two and three, while a company can use existing data to support the safety and performance of its new medical device, oftentimes there will be holes that need to be filled with a clinical trial.
No one is thrilled at the prospect of having a clinical trial for their product because of the cost and time involved. But if you think about it, a new medical device should offer new benefits to the marketplace. To obtain these benefits there may be risks involved or the product may do things that other devices have never done. So while a company can follow the ŌĆśliterature routeŌĆÖ by citing existing data in the marketplace for much of what a new device can achieve, the company should also plan on at least a limited clinical trial to fill in those gaps of existing data and new data required to certify the device. The less a company resists this idea, the quicker they can start the trial and be done with it. And remember, all the data you acquire from your clinical trials may be applicable to other regulatory applications.
Use an expert. When doing your pre-submission assessment, you really need to have it done by someone who is an expert in the field represented by the medical device.
Ask yourself, ŌĆ£Am I choosing this person to evaluate the information because I know that they are an expert or because theyŌĆÖll give me the answers I want to hear?ŌĆØ Whomever you choose to do the evaluation they should be suitable and qualified in the particular industry the medical device is designed for. They should know how your device will be used and the methodology behind it. Choose to work with someone who is up-to-date and knowledgeable in your particular industry. Trust me, itŌĆÖll get you better results and speed up the formal review of your technical files.
You want questions. Lots of questions are good sign of a quality pre-submission evaluation. This means the technical file manager is really doing her job and looking at the technical file.
To speed up the process you need to have a report that will stand up to not only the initial evaluation, but will be correct even after the technical file is approved. What many people donŌĆÖt understand is the Notified Body is assuming a lot of risk by granting a CE Marking to a product. Our name and Notified Body number are right there with the CE Marking of conformity. We are essentially saying ŌĆ£yes, this device is safe to use.ŌĆØ If it turns out that product isnŌĆÖt safe, the path will lead back to the auditor and the Notified Body to determine how an unsafe device ever received approval. So the more data you can show that demonstrates the tests of the product and the more you are peppered with questions during the pre-submission evaluation the better. That just means smoother sailing and faster approval when the technical file is formally submitted for review and approval.
The thing is, while many companies see Notified Bodies as a necessary evil, the relationship need not be antagonistic. By working together to assure that all the pieces of the puzzle are there and organized, the final submission will be smoother and approval will be faster, resulting in faster time-to-market. When that happens, businesses profit and life-saving products proliferate. In short, itŌĆÖs a win-win.

According to a press release issued this morning and widely circulated across the social media, The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) will be joining the fight against Canada's ridiculous child pornography laws, and against Canada Customs' search/seizure powers at the Canadian border. More specifically, the CBLDF " is forming a coalition to support the legal defense of an American citizen who is facing criminal charges in Canada that could result in a mandatory minimum sentence of one year in prison for comics brought into the country on his laptop."
I've been aware of this case since just before I gave my talk on comics and censorship this past February, and every aspect of it makes my blood boil. That 'manga' is targeted as a buzzword that encourages Customs agents to do more thorough searches, that an illustration of a person or act is the same thing as the person or act under Canadian law, that Art has no legal defense in Canada anymore. It's all awful, and I am very, very glad that the CBLDF has stepped in to provide funding and support for this case, to ensure that at the very least this man is rigourously defended, and with any luck a precedent can be set under Canadian law.
If you are a fan of any manga or anime, if you are a fan of comics, if you have even one comics page, anime clip, or "dirty" picture on your computer, tablet, or phone, this is about you. This is about you being pulled aside, searched, your electronics confiscated to be sent away for weeks and months, all because you've got scans of Naruto on your desktop. This isn't about "child porn" or any variation thereof, this is about legally equating a description of a thing–written or drawn–with the real thing.
As Neil Gaiman recently wrote:
"Freedom to write, freedom to read, freedom to own material that you believe is worth defending means you're going to have to stand up for stuff you don't believe is worth defending, even stuff you find actively distasteful, because laws are big blunt instruments that do not differentiate between what you like and what you don't, because prosecutors are humans and bear grudges and fight for re-election, because one person's obscenity is another person's art.
"Because if you don't stand up for the stuff you don't like, when they come for the stuff youdo like, you've already lost."
If you can afford anything, I urge you to donate to The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. You can do so at this page, they even take PayPal amongst other avenues of payment: http://cbldf.org/contribute/
A Canadian group called The Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund will also be starting a Fundraising drive over the coming weeks and months, and as soon as their contribution information comes together I'll be happy to pass it along as well.
So again, and in closing, this is about the government deciding what is or isn't art, about what you can or can't read, and very deliberately confusing the thought of a crime with the crime itself. This is something worth taking a stand about. Please do so, and if you can, contribute.

Brandon Daniel's ex-girlfriend Jenna Feland described his behavior in the months after the two broke up before the deadly shooting.
"He was on a downward spiral," Feland tearfully explained. She testified as the first witness for the defense.
The two met on the campus of Colorado State University. While dating, the two would smoke marijuana and Daniel would do mushroom, acid or Ecstasy. The drug usage and drinking scaled back when they moved to Austin. Daniel accepted a job with Hewlett Packard that he was proud of.
Feland wasn't working and Daniel paid for everything which created tension. Late 2011, the couple split but still stayed in touch. She says Daniel started to take Xanax. About an hour before the shooting she received an incoherent text from Daniel while she was asleep. She woke up the next morning and tried calling him back because she said she felt like something was wrong.
Prosecutor Gary Cobb tried to discredit her as a witness. He caught Feland off guard when he asked her about a selling Daniel's story for money.
The jury was excused while Cobb played a video from the jail that shows Feland and Daniel on the video conference system. Daniel says a reporter tried to reach out and talk to him. Daniel says maybe he would talk after the trial for $100,000 and Feland responds "or a mil."
Prosecution ends case with emotional testimony.
Jaime Padron's older brother Johnny was the last witness to testify for the state. He described his brother's dedication to his community and family. While he loved being a police officer Padron said his brother loved his two daughters even more and would make an effort to try to see them every day.
"The world turned ugly for us that day," Padron described for the jury. He recalled the day he learned of his little brother's murder. He received a call from a Sergeant with the San Angelo Police Department about the shooting and had to tell his Mom and Dad.
Wrapping up the state's case prosecutors called several experts and analysts to the stand. Toxicology reports show Daniel had Xanax and Marijuana in his system the time of the murder. Chief Medical Examiner David Dolinak explains Padron's gunshot wound using graphic pictures. He tells the jury the bullet hit Padron's voice box and two arteries. In his professional opinion, there wasn't much that could be done to save Padron.
Prosecutors played a phone call Daniel made to his mother, Mary O'Dell, from the Del Valle Correctional Complex. On the call, O'Dell is relieved to hear from her son. She tells him not to worry and she will take care of whatever she can. Daniel talks about getting his stuff back from his ex, Jenna. "Don't say anything to her she's the root cause of why I'm here," Daniel said to his mother referencing his ex.
The two go on to talk about Daniel's defense strategy. He says he wants to fire one of his attorneys. "I know there's no hope but he won't even consider another defense," said Daniel to his mom. The two talk money and how expensive Daniel's defense will be possibly around $500,000.
Daniel brings up other people who have taken Ambien and done crazy (expletive). His mom agrees and says she's researching. The phone call is cut short because Daniel runs out of minutes.
Detective David Fugitt who is the lead investigator says he's downloaded every single call Daniel has made. Fugitt was called back to the stand Wednesday morning. During examination defense attorney Russell Hunt tried to point out inconsistencies in what the surveillance video showed and what Daniel told investigators.
Fugitt agreed with some of the inconsistencies but said Daniel gave a very detailed description of the shooting. Fugitt has investigated more than 300 homicides and says sometimes people in shootings can forget details.
Hunt says on the video Daniel expresses remorse. Daniel told investigators he'd taken Xanax the night of the shooting and breaking up with his girlfriend Jenna had taken a toll on him.
Sticky notes found inside Brandon Daniel's apartment after the shooting show he wanted to 'step down pills over the next week.' He also scribbled 'stop (expletive) yourself up.' Other notes seem to show Daniel couldn't let go of Jenna. The notes scribbled read buy Jenna shoes, buy cat stuff for their pet Hans Solo and to take Jenna to Town Lake.
Defense attorneys are arguing Daniel was too drugged up to know the impact of his actions. Prosecutors are pushing for the death penalty.
Padron, a former Marine and father of two, was answering a call about a suspicious person possibly shoplifting on April 6th, 2012.
If convicted, Daniel faces the death penalty.

Labor unions and community activists in the Bay Area and beyond have a responsibility to condemn the received view of police violence and to demand a modicum of justice for Oscar Grant. They can do so by responding to the call by the International Longshore & Warehouse Union (ILWU) Local 10 to unite on Saturday, Oct. 23, at Oakland City Hall in support of "jail for killer cops."

Mercedes Martin is one of the new young emerging political artists out of the Bay with a whole lot to say. The thing is that she does not rock a mic or joust with her pen; she is a political jewelry maker who tends to hover around personalities like Oscar Grant, Malcolm X and political musicians.

Supporters of killer cop Johannes Mehserle rallied in San Jose Aug. 2 with no counter-demonstrators. KTVU was there and last week presented two features on Mehserle's life story, presumably intended to soften his public image and engender sympathy for him as the Nov. 5 sentencing date approaches. Justice for Oscar Grant supporters will protest in the parking lot outside KTVU on Thursday, Aug. 12, 12:30 p.m., at 2 Jack London Square, Oakland. Be there to honor Black August! And Oscar Grant supporters are asked to demand the maximum sentence for Mehserle.

After a POCC People's Investigation into the Oakland 2010 Rebellion's shutting down of Foot Locker, what baffled me was that many people could not politically put together that liberating merchandise was putting political pressure on downtown to pressure government to prosecute the criminals that killed Oscar Grant on New Year's morning of 2009.

A rally staged in support of former BART police officer Johannes Mehserle in Walnut Creek July 19 drew hundreds of protesters, dozens of journalists and photographers and plenty of police.

Who benefits? Who feels threatened by groups of people in our streets united to demand changes? Who wants to make the public hate and fear demonstrators and afraid and unwilling to participate in public gatherings for civic purposes? Who wants to make us feel afraid of each other?
July 15, 2010
Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums had a chance to shine last Thursday, after the verdict was announced in the murder trial of transit cop Johannes Mehserle for the Jan. 1, 2009, killing of 22-year-old unarmed Black man Oscar Grant. But instead of standing with the people, Dellums stood with his police chief, and together they proceeded to criminalize the entire community.
July 15, 2010
A sampling of reactions from small and independent news reporters during the July 8 protest rally called by the Los Angeles Coalition for Justice for Oscar Grant is recorded in these videos. The rally was called in response to the involuntary manslaughter verdict handed down by a Los Angeles jury just hours before.
July 14, 2010
On the 8th of July, 2010, the people of the world took to the streets of Oakland to make our displeasure felt at the non-verdict delivered to the killer cop who assassinated Ancestor-Warrior Spirit Oscar Grant III in cold blood on a BART platform a year and a half ago, 1 January 2009. And it wasn't "outside agitators" who consistently outflanked and outmanned the so-called finest of several different police departments – most of whom were definitely from outside of Oakland. It was thousands and thousands of us who don't have shit. It was the lumpen proletariat that George Jackson spoke of.
July 13, 2010
Oscar Grant's family told reporters Saturday that the letter of apology from Mehserle should have come much sooner and should have been directed to them personally. Mehserle's attorney, Michael Rains, told KGO-TV on Sunday, "I don't think that when the family remains that hostile and that nasty and mean-spirited that Mr. Mehserle should be out there offering olive branches because they will not be received."
July 10, 2010
"I AM," shouted the speaker at the Oakland protest of the verdict in the trial of ex-BART cop Johannes Mehserle; "OSCAR GRANT!" roared back the crowd at 14th and Broadway. The cold-blooded killer of Oscar Grant had just gotten off with an involuntary manslaughter conviction in a trial in LA. After less than two days deliberation, a jury with no Black members cleared Johannes Mehserle of second degree murder.
July 10, 2010
Addressing those fretting about civil unrest, Michael Walker concluded the press conference by declaring: "For anybody out there who feels like people are against peace, if you really want peace in this city, then fight for justice, and I guarantee you'll have peace."
July 10, 2010
More than one hundred people met in Leimert Park in South Los Angeles on July 8 to protest the verdict of Involuntary Manslaughter for Johannes Mehserle, the murderer of Oscar Grant III. The rally lasted more than three hours as organizers, activists and concerned citizens called for justice for Oscar Grant and for accountability and control of the police in Black and Brown communities.
July 9, 2010
At 14th and Broadway, the community was invited to share what was on their hearts. No one was censored and all views were respected. People surrounded the speakers. No one needed to be alone on a day like today. In African traditional healing, the health of an individual is tied to the well-being of community. Oscar Grant's relatives and friends called for love and respect for life and each other, as they named the enemy: this corrupt judicial system that allows killers to go free. I noticed another rally in front of City Hall. Just a handful of people were there.
July 8, 2010
"They've made Johannes Mehserle into a victim in this case and he's nothing but a brutal killer," said Aidge Patterson, leader of the LA Coalition for Justice for Oscar Grant. He believes a lack of media coverage of the first cop to be tried for murder in California was intended to quiet people down. "This is obviously one of the most historic cases in the entire country and it should be on every news station, but they're good at keeping people ignorant." Thank Minister of Information JR for convincing the Black press to cover the story.
July 3, 2010
In New York, spreading factual information about the Oscar Grant case, I said that Oakland may not have it all right, but we are definitely in the ring battling these big trees with our small axe, and everybody has to admit, whether we win or lose in court, the people of Oakland have declared once again that we are a force to reckon with.
July 3, 2010
THE VERDICT is INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER. Justice for Oscar Grant says: ' All out to Broadway and 14th!' And heed these wise words: 'Requesting Activists and Citizens over 50 years old to show up at 14th street and Broadway. HANDS AROUND OUR YOUTH! We the older generation need to be present to protect our youth from possible police brutality. We must bear witness to our youths right to assemble and peacefully demonstrate. Let OPD know these are our children and deserve to be respected as full USA citizens with the right to peacefully demonstrate without police or outside interference. Come and protect our children.'
June 30, 2010
After 13 days of testimony, the defense rested Tuesday in People v. Johannes Mehserle with the calling of Dr. Thomas Rogers to the stand. Dr. Rogers authored the autopsy protocol which stated Grant's cause of death was a gunshot wound to the torso. Rogers stated there was evidence of blunt force trauma to the left side of Grant's head. At this point Oscar Grant's mother began to weep uncontrollably.
June 26, 2010
On Friday, the BART cop who pulled the trigger unjustifiably killing Oscar Grant on a BART station platform in East Oakland, Johannes Mehserle, wrapped up his testimony in one of the most important murder trials of the last 20 years. The courtroom was filled to capacity with reporters, Grant's family and friends, and concerned community members. Six out of the seven Black males under 40 and three Black journalists were excluded that day from the Los Angeles Jim Crow courtroom of Judge Robert Perry.
June 25, 2010
Day 10 of the People v. Mehserle trial – Thursday, June 24 – ended with the defendant, Johannes Mehserle, taking the stand. The former BART police officer is accused of murder in the death of Oscar Grant. Defense attorney Michael Rains, seeking to humanize his client, asked what he was voted "most" of in high school: Mehserle was voted "Most Huggable."

SEVIERVILLE (WATE) - A Sevier County family is asking for your help to give their little girl a new way to get around.
MaKayla Glenn, 8, was born with cerebral palsy. She has always been in a wheelchair, and her family says as she has gotten older it has become difficult to transport her.
The family currently has a 2000 Ford Astro van, which has a long list of problems. The family is hoping the community can help them get some new wheels.
MaKayla is a pretty special young woman. Her older brother loves her a lot.
"She likes when I get down on the floor with her," said MaKayla's brother Michael Glenn. "She likes to hug me."
Over the years, it has been more difficult to get MaKayla where she needs to go.
The family is desperate to get a new wheelchair accessible van.
"It's important because she's getting bigger and heavier to lift," said MaKayla's mother Ginger Glenn. "It's hard to transport a wheelchair in a car."
Their current van's problems include no air or heat, no working taillights, and a water leak which is causing mold.
MaKayla is also outgrowing this van.
Since the family does not have the money for a new van, they have gone online to get help
"I never thought about doing an online campaign, except I was on Facebook one day, and found Gofundme," said Ginger Glenn. "I thought that was something we could do."
They are trying to raise at least $10,000 for a used van. A new van would be more than $40,000.
MaKayla's family is praying the community will see their need and help make her life much more easy.
"I started it in September," said Ginger Glenn. "I had secretly hoped to have it by Christmas, so it would be a Christmas miracle for that to happen."
MaKayla is on Medicaid, but beyond paying for her medical care and wheelchair there is no funding for a wheelchair accessible van.
The family has already raised close to $3,000 with their online campaign.

GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS along with Higher Ground Presents are pleased to announce the lineup for the 4th annual Grand Point North Music Festival taking place on Saturday, September 13th and Sunday, September 14th, 2014 at Burlington, Vermont's Waterfront Park.
After a summer playing dates with the likes of the Allman Brothers Band and Tedeschi Trucks, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals brought it all back home to Vermont for Grand Point North, the two-day music festival they host at Waterfront Park on the banks of Lake Champlain in downtown Burlington.
Let me get the lede out of the way right at the top: Grace Potter & The Nocturnals and The Avett Brothers are two of the hardest-working, hardest-rocking live bands you can see at any venue, any time.

During the holidays, soldiers returning from the war are seeking a sense of normalcy. But in many cases, being reunited means coming face to face with wounds you can't see.
It can be scary and a bit overwhelming for soldiers experiencing the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder; it not only changes the way they view the world, but also the way their families see them.
"All the things that he had done and saw killed the person that left." Libby Busbee describes the way her son felt after returning from his third tour in Iraq. He suffered a traumatic brain injury overseas and was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder.
"He would sleep walk, he would walk around with his knifes and would have stuff with his hands and I would have to wake him up." Busbee says.
In March, Busbee saw her son end his life; an act that she says could have been prevented. "You wait so long for them to get here and for them to die at their own hands its ridiculous."
Although William Busbee sought medical treatment, a new center, not available at the time, can now help victims dealing with the disorder.
"A veteran is a veteran and we will find the resources that they need." Team leader Tim Staebell says the Bay County Vet Center opened its doors in June and offers services to combat veterans and their families facing readjustment issues, which includes PTSD.
"Once they would receive a diagnosis, I would hope they would act on that. I really truly do, because there's help." Staebell says.
Through the course of his employment here, Staebell estimates about half of the veterans they serve, have PTSD. "I want people to know that we are serious about them and that we are here for them."
Initially the Vet Center ran out of the Delwood Clinic in Bay County and wasn't completely staffed as it is now. Since Staebell took his post, outreach has improved. In the last three months, they saw half the amount of veterans, the center saw over two years.

US President Barack Obama Friday announced a compromise to defuse a row over access to birth control which prompted election-year Republican critics to claim he was waging a war on religion.
In a concession, Obama said his government would no longer require religious organizations to offer free contraception on employee health plans and decried opponents he said had turned the issue into a "political football."
But he stuck by the principle that all women should have free access to such services, putting the onus on insurance firms to offer birth control to those working for religious employers like Catholic hospitals.

Scientists and engineers must join together in a major new effort to educate the public and decision makers on a crisis in providing Earth's people with clean water that looms ahead in the 21st century. That's the focus of a comment article in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society.
The struggle to obtain maximum temperature comfort for building tenants at an affordable cost has long been a challenge in the commercial real estate market. With new commercial HVAC technology coming into the marketplace every day, the innovative performance of two-stage water source heat pumps are starting to become more widely accepted for achieving maximum comfort at minimum cost.
The Home Electrical Fires report estimates that an electrical failure or malfunction factored in 45,000 to 55,000 home structure fires reported to the U.S. fire departments every year since 2000.
An old microwave oven headed for the dumpster may lead to significant developments on the solar energy front. Sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.
The United States ranked first among 21 countries most actively using the tax code to influence sustainable corporate activity, according to the inaugural edition of the KPMG Green Tax Index, reflecting the country's extensive and long-established program of federal tax incentives for energy generally, including specific incentives for energy efficiency, renewable energy and green buildings.
Let this stat sink in: 98% of lamp's energy goes to lighting the street instead of the night sky.
Streetlights illuminate the night, shining upon roadways and sidewalks across the world, but these ubiquitous elements of the urban environment are notoriously inefficient and major contributors to light pollution that washes out the night sky. Recent innovations in light emitting diodes (LEDs) have improved the energy efficiency of streetlights, but, until now, their glow still wastefully radiated beyond the intended area.
Contractors are reporting high use of safety practices, but fully-inclusive programs are not yet taking place in smaller firms, according to a new study by McGraw-Hill Construction on safety management in the construction industry.

This is an interesting development as news from the industry during recent economic times can be less than promising. Could this be a sign of an industry bounceback?

I heard if you go to Jeremy's house and say the magic word, he has to play you any soundtrack song you request of him. From what I understand, it's the Track Team code.
If you don't know the magic word, though, I got nothing for you. I haven't heard anything about a soundtrack release, but I'd be just as excited as you if it happened.

Pfizer awarded Ketchum a global assignment for Lipitor as the pharmaceutical company prepares for its top-selling drug to go off patent at the end of this year.
GlaxoSmithKline tapped Omnicom's PHD as media agency of record on all of its healthcare products, ousting incumbent WPP's MediaCom.

Sanofi-Aventis put its global media buying and planning account up for review, a spokesperson for the company confirmed today.

Astrotec AM90
" I purchased these IEMs after reading about them in ljokerl's Multi IEM review thread. Needless to say, the sound was different than what I expected. Build - These are very, very well built IEMs. Iron housing, good stress relievers, and a cable that flexes with ease. Build was absolutely stunning. Isolation - These isolated very well, at least for me. Never had better..." --pro1137
Astrotec AX-30
" Review: Astrotec AX-30 Tuesday, April 15th, 2014 by Bowei Zhao & Ethan Wolf For several years now, Astrotec has been a name familiar to enthusiasts as a manufacturer of value-conscious, yet quality-engineered, balanced armature IEMs. This past year, they began shifting over to hybrid IEMs en masse. As the smaller sibling of their AX-35,..." --bowei006
Astrotec AX35
"Astrotec has been mostly into budget IEMs until recently, when they introduced their AX60, AX7 and now their AX30/35. The version I have here today is the AX35. I'm not sure of the prices yet, but from what I hear, the AX30 will be around $65 while the AX35 will be $80 (USD). The AX30 is supposed to be the bassier model of the two while the AX35 was tuned to be more neutral. Me generally..." --lin0003

Astrotec AX7
"Astrotec seems to be a relatively new company to join the higher end IEM business and when I was offered an opportunity to borrow the AX-60 for a week for me to give my impressions, I jumped at the chance. I enjoyed that a lot that I was prepared to buy it, until I walked into the Noisy Motel and Billy showed me the AX-7, the model under the AX-60.

Starting from the straight plug, it's very sturdy and well relieved. The housings, while are made of plastic, feel very sturdy too. They are lightweight but a bit on the large side.

"Audiofly has made the most comfortable IEMs that I've placed in my ears. They are probably the easiest to insert as well.

As pressure builds for the Dec. 12 West Coast port shutdown, the capitalist owners and their media have begun a battle of ideas to blunt this powerful threat to their profits and control.

81. So I was thinking of some kind of prize other than the esteemed title of the GREAT PREDICTILATOR AND BUC PROGNOSTICATOR (though seriously who wouldn't put that on their business card if they win) then I thought back to RookTakesyou's excellent idea to have Eric LeGrand's #52 Jersey benefit spinal cord research. So I thought why not double dip towards the charity arena….I bought 3 today (1 for myself 2 youth sizes for charity) …but you can make me buy more. With 11 entrants (counting myself) the number is perfect for me(Caps the # I have to buy and ship at exactly 10). The rules are simple…you choose the charity from the list below (yes I know there are many others that are great but I've worked with these before and are my favorites). If your score is better than mine at the end of the season…I'll send a youth jersey to the charity you choose from the list below (Even if I have to buy 10). So lets see what your made of…I don't usually taunt but you can throw a 15 yard flag on me for this one – I simply don't think more than 2 of you can luck out and beat me, care to prove me wrong?
If you beat DP….which Charity do you want the Extra LeGrand Jersey to go to?
A. The Spring, Tampa FL http://ez-websites.net/tp40/page.asp?id=241080 might seem odd to donate to a battered woman's shelter but many of these women are mothers and I know they are always trying to find Birthday/Christmas
B. Martha's Table, Washington DC http://www.marthastable.org/our-programs.html Martha's Table sells or auctions off clothing donations and accepts cash donations in order to provide daycare and educational activities for underprivalleged children in N. Virginia, S. Maryland , and the District of Columbia.
C. GoodWill, All Over http://www.goodwill.org/get-involved/donate/ A very classical catch all charity that helps numerous other charitable causes and sells clothing in that persuit.
D. Ronald McDonald House of Tampa, FL http://www.rmhctampabay.com/houses.php Provides services to families who have a child in the hospital, allowing them to stay closer to their young sick one and providing essential services during their stay.
--And Yes If you'd like I can send it in your log in name..or you can e-mail me at my draftphantom address the real name when/if you win.

For me nothing gets me fired up when my beloved Dolphins take the field like some good 'ol rocking tunes. In years past they used Hells Bells by AC/DC & The Immagrant Song by Zepplin, which are solid choices & certainly seem to get the crowd all jacked up. But, I'm a little more METAL than that !!!! I have a ton of songs in mind as I only have about 6K on my Ipod, So, here are some I might go with.
Who is more metal than Pantera ? So, here I got two to choose from being Walk or Cowboys from Hell. Dimebag,.....You shred ....PERIOD !!
Then what about Metallica ? Yes, they too have a tune or two that works for me. I have never listened to Battery without want to punch someboby right in the face !! One word.......BRUTAL !!!
Another band I'm high on, but might fly under most folks radar is Anthrax. If you don't know it, you should check Piss & Vinegar. Any band that work the lyric " I charge like a bull with his balls tied" works for me. SICK !!!
Just the name of this band gets me fired up, Rage Against the Machine!! Again so metal I can't pick one. No Shelter or Know Your Enemy. WOW......musical muscle right here boys !!!
Here I have to come full circle and go back to Dimebag ( I miss you buddy ) !! F**CKING DAMAGEPLAN !!!!! WHAT DO THE DOLPHINS HAVE THESE DAYS........I'LL TELL YOU !!!!! NEW FOUND POWER !!!!!
I wish I was as computer savey as some of you good folks so I put up the links, I can barely figure out the picture thing. How do I narrow this list down from 7 to 1 ? I don't know & I'm glad I don't have too !! So, I guess what I really done is given you a sample of my tailgate tunes!!! LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED !!
What tunes would you choose ??? Metal, rock, hip hip.........J-Lo??

For the first time since 2008, tails was the winning side for the coin toss, kicking off a night of ridiculous prop bets during Super Bowl XLVIII. After five consecutive years of heads ending as the winning side of the toss, tails snapped the streak on Sunday, as the Seattle Seahawks correctly called the toss.
Here are the other Super Bowl prop bets that were decided on Sunday:
National anthem was finished quickly
The length of the national anthem has typically been under two minutes; however, a two minute and 35 second rendition from Alicia Keys in the year prior coupled with the first ever opera singer performing led sportsbooks to set the over/under for length at two minutes, 25 seconds. Renee Fleming didn't come close to that mark though, finishing in a swift one minute and 53 seconds.
Knowshon held it together
The more ridiculous national anthem bet was whether or not Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno would cry during Fleming's rendition. While the fifth-year back had an emotional moment on the sideline earlier in the year that was caught by cameras, he didn't cry on Sunday which was a win for the heavily favored "no" that carried a line of -700.
It was cold, but not THAT cold
From the day MetLife Stadium was announced as the site of Super Bowl XLVIII, the weather of the game was discussed and eventually analyzed. The over/under for temperature was set at 34 degrees, which would have been the coldest in Super Bowl history. However, it was 15 degrees warmer, which was still the coldest game since Super IX, but far from the chilly night some expected.
Safety to start
The first play from scrimmage in the Super Bowl was a snap that went past the head of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and resulted in a safety that gave the Seahawks a 2-0 lead. For those that were crazy enough to bet that a safety would be the first score of the game, it was a good night, as the odds were set at +4000 for the event.
No hat for Bruno, no shirts for RHCP
There were a few prop bets for the halftime show, including a couple based on the fashion choices of Bruno Mars and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. While the favorite was that Bruno Mars would wear a fedora during his performance, he elected to go without a hat, which paid 2/1. Anthony Keidis and Flea for RHCP both elected to go shirtless during the performance as well, which satisfied the -140 favorite that at least one band member would be shirtless.
Additionally, "Locked Out Of Heaven" was the first song performed by Bruno Mars, which was initially the favorite but was passed by "Treasure" before game time.
Orange comes out on top
The Gatorade bath for Super Bowl XLVII, or lack thereof, was a big loser for bettors, as John Harbaugh wasn't given the traditionally celebratory dunking. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll wasn't as lucky on Sunday, as he was hit with a bath of orange Gatorade. Orange was one of the favored colors at 3/1, but wasn't the favorite, as clear was receiving 2/1 odds.
SB Nation's Super Bowl coverage
• Ufford: Deserve had nothing to do with Seattle's win
• Godfrey: The Super Bowl, or why the NFL always wins
• Trains in vain: The Super Bowl vs. New Jersey Transit
• NFL mock draft: Believe in Bortles | (Early) 2014 power rankings: Philly favored
• See the Super Bowl commercials again | Watch the mini-Seinfeld reunion
• Jon Bois' crazy Breaking Madden Super Bowl basically came true

1.0 b2 on WP MU 2.7 so far…
I have installed a fresh WP MU 2.7 and it's going well. I then installed Buddypress 1.0 b2 that was just released.
The home theme did not work for me. It gave me a few lines and links on a white page.
I had to go back to the last version and install the home theme while keeping all the other new components from 1.0 b2.
1) Is there a problem with the new default home thing?
2) Has anyone else experienced this problem?
3) Would it be OK to mix and match from 1.0 b and 1.0 b2?
Other than that, it's all awesome. It's beautiful. THANK YOU all and Andy

The USC games from this weekend are now up! Also, if you were downloading the UCLA game this weekend and it seems like it has stalled, I recommend you re-download the torrent file and start it up again that way . . . it should just start where you left off as long as you save it in the same place (my internet was screwed up for a good 24 hours on Saturday-Sunday). http://gobears.doesntexist.com:6969/ Names 2013USC.mp4 = Cal MBB vs. USC @ Galen Center 2013uscHOME.mp4 = Cal MBB vs. USC @ Haas Pavilion 2013WBBusc.mp4 = Cal WBB vs. USC @ Haas Pavilion 2013WBBatusc.mp4 = Cal WBB vs. USC @ Galen Center
