Sen. Lindsey Graham says :Criminally mentally ill 'should not be able to' buy guns: introduced legislation Wednesday afternoonSubmitted by clynbrit on Thu, 03/07/2013 - 08:39
This could be abused by labeling whoever you want disarmed as mentally ill; such as war vets, dissidents. You can be picked up without a warrant and held indefinitely. Do you trust this government not to abuse this legislation?
WASHINGTON (WCIV) - Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mark Begich (D-AK) introduced legislation Wednesday afternoon aimed at preventing gun violence through stronger background check prosecutions.
The bill, dubbed the NICS Reporting Improvement Act of 2013, clarifies when a person loses his or her rights to purchase or own firearms based on mental illness.
Graham and Begich, along with Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Mark Pryor (D-AR), introduced the bill that targets people who have been determined by the courts to have met a series of criteria, including being a danger to themselves, being found guilty but mentally ill in a criminal court, found not guilty by reason of insanity, being found incompetent to stand trial, and requiring involuntary treatment at or commitment to a psychiatric hospital.
"The best way to prevent crazy people, mentally unstable people, from getting a weapon is to identify them somehow before they try to murder," he said.

Graham is criminally and
Graham is criminally and mentally ill, and has admitted that he owns an AR-15. By his own logic, he should be the first to be disarmed.
Resist the temptation to feed the trolls.
Power to the Quacks
Such legislation will ultimately empower and give more authority to Psychiatrists, who are frequently the most incompetent people in the medical field to start with, and who are then indoctrinated into a "specialty" which is largely devoid of anything that resembles objective science. Allowing them to call themselves M.D. tarnishes the rest of the profession, indeed many would disgrace even the title of witch doctor.
"Sen. Lindsey Graham says :Criminally mentally ill 'should not be able to' buy guns".
Well that definitely disqualifies Lindsey. People of South Carolina, why do you vote for this man? He IS NOT a conservative!
"The best way to prevent crazy people, mentally unstable people, from getting a weapon is to identify them somehow before they try to murder"
Does this include armed drones?
This is a huge issue
I am concerned about this issue, and have been ficusing my attention to it here in my county where there is a battle to put "Laura's Law", which is like New York's "Kendra's Law", into action. Some call these laws "forced medication", because anyone, that anyone deems "mental", does not have to be veiwed by a doctor, but by a judge, with no arrest or charges, or crimes, except someone, could be anyone said that person was "mental". I imagine, it's going to occur of the level of public help to homeless homes.
Because there are battles being waged around the USA, it seems the feds are moving into capitalize (because this is going to help the pharmcuetical companies tremendously) in the name of gun laws, which are a threat, because of the UN arms treaty.
It's not just the secind amendment that's up for being lost, but the fifth, as Rand, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz pointed out last night.
Ashamed of my senator (Pryor)
Ashamed of my senator (Pryor) and happy I never voted for him!
It is easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled. – Mark Twain
does anyone really believe
that making the insane or criminals illegal to have firearms will stop them? How stupid.
Like the post below. If you've served your time then all rights are restored. If you are not in an asylum then are rights are protected.
Why is that so hard to understand?
The convicted felon who has served time and released really wants a gun he will get whatever he wants unknown to anyone.
The crime is not the possesion of the gun but what someone does to someone else.
I really hate these victimless crimes. Total BS
They will disarm us through attrition.
As it stands now individuals convicted of a low level second class misdemeanors, felons and mentally disabled are prohibited from possession of firearms. The Feds have a threshold of any crime punishable by one year in prison while my state, Pa., has a two year threshold. How can these conflicting regulations be reconciled? Anyways, the government will continue to lower the bar to strip individuals of their Constitutional rights until things such as a traffic violation will brand you a criminal and place you in the category of second class citizen with no Constitutional rights. Hey, look at it this way, we've already been stripped of our protections affording us trials and such by "Licensed to kill,James 007 Obama" and his handler "M" Holder. Is it true that Michelle just had a fitting for a crown?
There are no politicians or bankers in foxholes.
We already strip convicted fealons of right to bear arms
and courts all over this land feel free to order certain citizens not to own or possess.
Lindsay is such a snake.
Be brave, be brave, the Myan pilot needs no aeroplane.
maybe jaywalking will become a felony
that is how these gun control nuts work. they will use any method to disarm the people.
If you are not incarcerated why should your rights be restricted
If the government has no right to keep you locked up then they have no business oppressing you by restricting and abridging your rights.
A free man is not free without his right to defend one's self.
Lindsey Graham is pandering to democrats and doing his best to keep gun control legislation alive in congress.
Lindsey Graham believes in attacking the rights of free men and women.
Question: If someone is too sick to have a gun, shouldn't that same person be locked up so that they don't grab a knife and stab people? Why is the gun the issue?
Question: If someone is too sick to have a gun, shouldn't that same person be locked up so that they don't jump in their car and run over people? Why is the gun the issue?
I say let everyone have their guns everywhere they go, even the weirdos. Then we can repel any non-sense where ever we find it.
A person who has committed no crime should have their rights protected. A person who has served their time and who has been released back into the public should have his or her rights restored upon release.
Whats the litmus test? Which
Whats the litmus test?
Which statement best describes you?
1 Pro big government
2 Anti big government
Yes. Thou shalt not speak against government
or point out any error of government, unless you want to be labelled and deemed unworthy to own a gun, and perhaps worthy of a drone execution..
Criminal mentally ill
Doesnt that describe most of these sold out puppets who go to washington dc to enrich themselves at the Rothschild false debt, slave, hog trouth.
Mr Graham you seem to fit my criteria for cimmminaly mentally ill, what should we take away from you.
Damn I really hate these people
The 2nd amendment is very clear. There aren't any exceptions to who can and can't be armed. Crazy people have a right to protect themselves as much as anyone else.
At first I thought your
title was saying Graham is criminally ill and shouldn't be allowed to buy guns. ;)
Which segues me into the topic of psychopaths. The ones who can't adjust to "the game" become criminals. The ones who play it well find a way to get in power. And one of the many reasons we find ourselves being treated as criminals is that old psychology term, projection. The psychopaths in power know how to use our morality and fears against us, but don't truly understand them so they fill in the gaps of understanding our potential with their own potential.
For the legislation, yes, it'll be abused. Psychopaths will find weapons when they want them. If they're going to violate the natural law of not hurting people, they sure won't care about Graham's legislation. Yes, we should be afraid of how full the world is of psychopaths. All the more reason not to curb our access to weapons.
And if they identified psychopaths young, Graham would have been tagged, too, because he wouldn't have known how to play the game yet.
Defend Liberty!
Thanks. changed the title a little.
"The ones who can't adjust to "the game" become criminals. The ones who play it well find a way to get in power."
Your insight begs the question of WHY the world is full of psychopaths? And where do the masses of non-psychopaths fit in? Why do the psychopaths need to rule over others?
Why do most of us feel no desire to rule over others?
If psychopaths know the potential
of other psychopaths, then they are going to believe the only way to stop them is controlling them.
The research on child psychopaths sounds pretty hopeless. No matter what they do to try to get through to them, the children are just learning how to manipulate the game. The more sound the moral approach, the more kindness they try to show by example, it's all a game the children learn to use to their advantage. The only thing they can do is implement behaviorist controls (rewards/punishments), exactly the opposite of what I advocate for parenting in order to build trusting relationships, in order to make conformity in their best interests. It has nothing to do with raising them right, it's just more convenient to raise them in a controlled way. The "best" outcome is that they stay out of jail, which just means they'll be on the outside causing harm and knowing how to avoid the negative consequences for it.
Psychopaths want to control people because that's the way they get the most perks. Power means acquiring more pleasures and avoiding negative consequences or just the negative things the rest of us might encounter. Their carnal motivations are simple in comparison to ours, though their lives may look just as complicated on the surface as they try to conform for the perks not being found out offers them.
Non-psychopaths can want to control people, too, but it has to do with believing they know what's best or fear. Psychopaths in power use that fear against us to talk us into letting them control us in exchange for the promise of controlling those scary masses, too.
Defend Liberty!
Thanks for the insightful explanation.
So in the end maybe psychopaths need to control others because they fear them. As you said
"If psychopaths know the potential of other psychopaths, then they are going to believe the only way to stop them is controlling them."
And the non-psychopaths who think they know what is best for everyone just want to control "those scary masses, too."
So it is fear. That seems to me to be dealing at an animal human predator level, where territory is established and defended. The alpha rules the territory and controls the others in the herd or tribe, and keeps all the females for himself to preserve his strong bloodline.
I've been talking about this bait and switch for a while.
I KNEW this was going to happen. The COMMIES scare the crap out of everyone that they are going to confiscate ALL guns and then the "conservatives" compromise to avoid it.
ABSOLUTELY this will be abused. The PLAN -> Is to gradually segment off our society into groups which can be singled out and then one by one people's guns are taken away.
THERE WILL BE NO MASS CONFISCATION -> Everyone waiting for the proverbial "SHTF" is CLUELESS!!!
The SHTF EVERYDAY - 100s of times PER DAY - > Depending on WHO you ARE!

They get what they wanted in the end.
This allows data collection from a young age and elimination of whoever the PTB deem unworthy. In Hitler Germany this data collection opened the door to eugenics; elderly first, then disabled, then anyone they chose to kill.

Cognizant uses more experienced and efficient resources to deliver quality compared to other outsourcing companies. The top management (the CE grades) has their visions and drives better than others delivering growth and dynamism. The policies and processes are flexible when its a question of business win or profitability. The reinvestment is fueling more than other companies which is feedback looping the growth.Cons
Like any other outsourcing company, Cognizant too does not hesitate to deprive resources whenever a chance found and by exploiting by every possible means. There is a nasty open scret as any other regionally dominated companies have, which nobody cares or dares to change is regional and racist lobbying.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Q: Is there any advice you can give a financially struggling parent whose daughter was accepted to a top university but won't be able to foot the $50,000-a-year tuition bill? If I could put my kidney on eBay for a good price to cover her tuition, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Meet with financial aid advisers, guidance counselors, investment gurus and people who know a heck of a lot more about money than I do. Have your daughter check out every scholarship she might possibly qualify for (Granddaughters of Pinochle-Playing Half-Armenians, anyone?).
And keep an honest dialogue going with her. Let her know you take her feelings seriously, you truly want the best for her and you will try your hardest to make her dreams work. But you also need to help her realize that the "best" path doesn't usually involve driving your family into the ground with financial stress in order to get a certain diploma, or letting her graduate with decades of debt. There are many schools that could be right for your daughter (schools whose acceptance letters hopefully have also graced your mailbox). Treating her feelings with respect will go even further than a kidney.
Q: I have a co-worker who insists on doing my job, not helpfully, but in a sneaky way. On our last project together, she withheld critical information. When the project seemed to fail, she miraculously used the information to save the day. My supervisor has a "house of cards" theory regarding our team: If we cannot see eye-to-eye as an organization, we will ultimately fail. This makes it hard to approach him regarding the situation because I may be viewed as a defector. Am I being too critical, or even paranoid?
If it's too critical to be frustrated by someone stealing and sabotaging your work, then I'm curious about what workplace behavior would actually be deemed unacceptable.
So your supervisor believes that the workplace team is a delicate "house of cards." Then he should most definitely be bothered by one of his employees coming at it with a leaf blower. You've got concrete and specific evidence of situations where she has hurt the team for her own gain. Use it. Conceptualize it not as you being victimized but as concern about future projects. I can't imagine anything more in the interest of teamwork than that.

PPL crews responding to initial outages
PPL Electric Utilities crews are busy repairing scattered power outages across the utility's service area Monday ahead of the main assault from Hurricane Sandy, expected this evening into Tuesday, states a release from the utility.
Crews restored power to about 8,500 customers by 4 p.m. Monday in all areas of its service territory in eastern and central Pennsylvania. About 8,600 customers were without power at mid-afternoon, about half of which were in the Lehigh Valley.
"Storm conditions are expected to deteriorate this afternoon through Tuesday morning," said David Bonenberger, vice president of Distribution Operations for the utility. "With forecasts showing the brunt of this storm is yet to come, we still expect significant tree and line damage."
Utility officials said it's too early to say how long power restoration efforts will last, but multi-day outages -- possibly a week or more -- are possible in some cases.
"We're working around the clock, and we've arranged for more than 1,600 additional outside personnel who will help with damage assessment and outage restoration. Nearly all of those additional workers are already here, with more on the way," Bonenberger said. "They are coming from states as far away as North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana and Missouri and we're glad to have them."
PPL Electric Utilities reminds its customers to stay safe during the storm and be watchful for downed power lines. Severe weather conditions also may make it unsafe for utility workers to perform restoration work at times.
Customers are reminded to report power outages at 1-800-DIAL-PPL (1-800-342-5775) or online at www.pplelectric.com. Customers need to register their account to report outages online, and the Outage Center web site is adapted for mobile phones.

In seventy years of life, not even seven moments? Then what have you been doing here - torturing yourself and others? Yes, you cannot find even seven moments, because the nature of those moments is such that when they are there, they take you over totally, they possess you - yes, that is the right word - they possess you completely. But when they are gone, they dispossess you as completely as they had possessed you, so only a memory is left. And how long can you live on the memory which proved so deceptive?
After a few days you start doubting whether it happened or: "Was I just imagining?" Because in your whole life's experience that moment is so contradictory: years pass, then one moment perhaps. And that too is not in your hands; when and where it is going to happen, you cannot decide. So, years of dragging, and a certain moment which has remained just a memory. Slowly, slowly, even the smoke of memory starts disappearing.
So even if you ask a man seventy years old, he cannot say that there were even seven moments. And as you become older, there is less and less possibility of those moments. There is more and more disillusionment, more and more disappointment. In the future there is only death and darkness, and in the past nothing but deception.
The religions had a beautiful space through which to exploit you - and they did well all over the world. For thousands of years they have found the greatest business - greater than anybody else's: they have been selling you paradise, and almost for nothing.
All they ask is: "Renounce this momentary life and the eternal world of ecstasy is yours." Hence renunciation became a foundational belief: the more you renounce, the more you become worthy, and the more you can be certain that you are coming closer. So people have tried to renounce everything.
Mahavira was going to be the king. His father was old, and he was continually asking Mahavira, "Now let me retire. I am tired; and you are ready, young, well-educated - I am perfectly satisfied. Where can I find a better son than you? Just be ready to relieve me."
But Mahavira had other ideas. While he was being educated by the priests and the monks, they had poisoned his mind. They had told him that if he could renounce the kingdom, "Then the kingdom of God is yours." The greater the renunciation, the greater, of course, will be the reward. That's why the twenty-four great masters of the Jainas were all kings.
I have been asking the Jaina monks, "What is the secret of this? Was there nobody else in the country who could attain, become a great master - a warrior, a brahmin, a scholar, anybody - why only kings?" They don't have any answer. I used to tell them, "I am not asking you for the answer because I have the answer. I am just asking you the question so that you start thinking about it."
The answer is simple: because they renounced the kingdom, the greatest reward had to be theirs. A poor man can renounce whatsoever he has - but what has he? He cannot become a tirthankara, the supreme-most master. Even in paradise he will be living somewhere outside the town. He won't get in because they will ask, "What have you renounced? In the first place what have you got to renounce?"

Tone-Deaf Arizona Democrats Now Rely on Washington, DC Liberals to Shore Up State Campaigns
After Preventing Competition in Primary Election, AZ Democrats Suddenly Interested in Voters?
PHOENIX - Today Arizona Republican Party Chairman Robert Graham reminded Arizona voters that state Democrat leaders unilaterally chose their nominees, deliberately avoiding providing meaningful choices for voters in the August primary election. Graham said no amount of participation from national Democrat leaders now can overcome the resulting weakened state of the Democrat candidates in Arizona.
"Bringing in a figure as controversial as Debbie Wasserman Schultz only serves to show how tone-deaf Arizona Democrats are about the role of voters in their own elections," said Robert Graham, Chairman of the Arizona Republican Party. "You'd think lobbyist Fred DuVal, who is trying to reposition himself and shed his well-deserved liberal image — that he would join his fellow party insiders and stay away from her hyperpartisanship as leader of the Democratic National Committee."
While the nation today is celebrating National Voter Registration Day, Democrats still face an uphill battle. In Maricopa County, which contains more than 60% of the state's voters, Republican voters outnumber Democrat voters by 12 percent. And low registration numbers are only part of the Democrats' problems: Republican turnout in the last month's primary election was also 12 percent higher than that of the Democrats.
"It's no surprise that Fred DuVal would campaign with Debbie Wasserman Schultz considering she is a fellow Washington, DC liberal who supports increasing taxes, more regulations on employers and amnesty for illegal immigrants," said Jordan Rose, founder and president of Rose Law Group, Arizona's largest female-owned law firm. "Wasserman Schultz's record of advocating for policies that hurt hardworking families is a perfect fit for DuVal, a lobbyist, who intends to run up the debt, explode the size of government and pass the bill on to taxpayers."
POLITICO recently reported that many of Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz's fellow Democrats "have lost confidence in her as both a unifying leader and reliable party spokesperson at a time when they need her most." But Fred DuVal and other Arizona Democrats apparently can't wait to rally with her in Phoenix.
Arizona voters have the chance to hear from the DNC Chair who:
- Can't Even Get Along With A Democrat President. "Obama and Wasserman Schultz have rarely even talked since 2011. They don't meet about strategy or messaging. They don't talk much on the phone … The DNC chair … isn't involved in the strategy talks with the president. They don't want her there." (Edward-Isaac Dovere, "Democrats Turn On Debbie Wasserman Schultz," POLITICO, 9/17/14)
- Is Called "Completely Unprofessional And Rude" By Her Fellow Democrats. "When [White House aide Valerie] Jarrett found out that Wasserman Schultz had had her daughter sit in on the interview with Wicks at the end of July 2013, she called to register her dismay, describing Wasserman Schultz's behavior, according to people familiar with the conversation, as 'completely unprofessional and rude.'" (Edward-Isaac Dovere, "Democrats Turn On Debbie Wasserman Schultz," POLITICO, 9/17/14)
- Suggested That Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker And Tea Party Members Beat Women. "In Milwaukee earlier this month for a women's roundtable, Wasserman Schultz said that Gov. Scott Walker has given the 'back of his hand' to women. 'I know that is stark. I know that is direct. But that is reality,' she said. 'What Republican tea party extremists like Scott Walker are doing is they are grabbing us by the hair and pulling us back' … [Walker's] Democratic opponent, Mary Burke (who wasn't at the event), quickly distanced herself from Wasserman Schultz's remarks … [P]eople people say Wasserman Schultz would only be a liability if she returned. 'Her ineptitude during her last visit makes it impossible to go back before the election,' said a person familiar with the Burke campaign."(Edward-Isaac Dovere, "Democrats Turn On Debbie Wasserman Schultz," POLITICO, 9/17/14)
- Received A Taxpayer Score Of "F" From The National Taxpayers Union. "The Taxpayer Score measures the strength of support for reducing spending and regulation and opposing higher taxes … A score significantly below average qualifies for a grade of 'F.' This failing grade places the Member into the 'Big Spender' category." ("NTU Rates Congress, 113th Congress, First Session [2013], National Taxpayers Union, 9/16/14)
- Supports President Obama's Unilateral Action On Immigration. "Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said President Barack Obama should use his executive power to grant work permits to millions of immigrants in the U.S. illegally. 'The irresponsible thing to do is to do nothing,' the Florida congresswoman said today at a Bloomberg Government breakfast in Washington. 'The president should do within the boundaries of his executive authority what he can do if Congress refuses to act.'" (Lisa Lerer, "Wasserman Schultz Backs Broad Obama Action On Immigration," Bloomberg, 7/30/14)
Southern Arizona Republicans Make Blacklist
In a very close race between Republican Martha McSally and Democrat Ron Barber every vote counts. During the time Ron Barber has been in congress, his votes have hurt southern Arizonans through more regulation, higher taxes, more spending, higher debt, weakened national security, increase healthcare premiums and deductions, less quality of care and the list goes on.
Sadly, those who would call themselves "Republicans" went public in their support for Ron Barber and his support of the Pelosi, Reid, Obama agenda that is hurting southern Arizonans.
We thought you ought to know who these Republicans are and bring their name out in the public arena.
Our recommendation is that NONE of these pseudo Republicans be invited to Republican events sponsored or hosted by the Pima and Cochise County Republican Parties, the Arizona Republican Party and the Republican National Committee. This means not being invited to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in 2016. Whether or not you choose to support their businesses is your choice but they have decided to work against the mission and goals of the Republican party to restore fiscal sanity to our local, state and national government.
Here is the list of their names. They are on the official blacklist.

"Go and Vote" Jeff DeWit for Arizona State Treasurer
August 20, 2014 – Phoenix - Recently AZGOP Chairman Robert Graham issued a statement asking candidates for positive messaging that builds the Republican Party.
In response, Jeff DeWit, CEO/Investment Professional and Arizona State Treasurer candidate, has introduced his family friendly, upbeat, positive campaign video titled "Go and Vote" which can be found on Jeff DeWit's YouTube Channel here – http://youtu.be/ToUE8zT8Tno – or through the News section on JeffDeWit.com.
"Too many negative messages are flooding the airwaves," said DeWit. "I hope this sets an example of a different way to encourage Arizonans to vote. Our goal is that this will bring smiles and goodwill to Arizona voters, while showing that there is a better way to get our message out."
Jeff's wife, Marina stated, "Anyone who knows Jeff knows that he is very serious about being Arizona's next State Treasurer and understands the responsibilities of the office.

Proven Record. Great Momentum.
As I've been traveling throughout our state, introducing myself and sharing why I truly believe I'm the best candidate to serve as Arizona's next State Treasurer, the support I have received has been astounding and incredibly humbling.
Each and every individual I meet on the campaign trail reminds me of the reasons why I want this job – to protect and serve the future of our great state while preserving and furthering Arizona's financial prosperity.
The primary job of the State Treasurer is to protect Arizona's investment portfolio, worth over $12 Billion. This portfolio needs to be entrusted to a proven financial professional from the business and investment community, not a career politician. I am that proven professional.
My personal experience and professional background in the financial industry gives me a solid foundation for my duties as State Treasurer. My experience allows me to begin my first day in office with decades of proven investment results, successful corporate leadership and hard-learned lessons behind me.
My background includes:
• Investment Professional for over 20 years, one of the youngest members of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade.
• Founded a financial services firm and served as CEO from our Phoenix HQ for 14 years.
• Degree in Business Administration with a minor in Finance and an Accounting degree.
• Lifelong Republican; Precinct and State Committeeman in LD22.
• Married to Marina; Father of three beautiful girls and reside in the Northwest Valley.
Please visit my website at JEFFDEWIT.com to learn more about me, and be sure to follow our campaign on Facebook.com/JeffDeWitAZ – and please *LIKE* our Facebook page.
I need a minimum of approximately 6,000 signatures to be listed on the voting ballot and would be honored to have your help. Signing the online petition is very easy to do! Just grab your driver's license and click here. I appreciate your help.
If you have any questions or comments, just ask! I'm here for you and the future of our state and hope to earn your trust (and your vote) for Arizona State Treasurer!
Looking forward to visiting with you on the campaign trail!

They were set to depart on one of the world's longest non-stop flights, from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, to Brisbane, Australia. Instead, passengers spent the longest night of their lives sleeping on a plane grounded by the weather.
Passengers on board Qantas flight QF8 were set to depart on Friday at 10 p.m., but because of weather conditions the plane was forced to return to the terminal and park at the gate.
"The passengers were given the option to stay on the plane or to go around the terminal," Qantas spokeswoman Sharna Rhys-Jones said in a statement. "Due to the congestion at the airport from other cancellations, many passengers chose to stay on board."
Black ice affecting the roads surrounding the airport meant that authorities couldn't transport passengers to the hotel rooms they had organized for everyone after the flight was cancelled.
Passengers were provided with blankets as well as catering and entertainment such as movies while they camped out on the Being 747, airport officials said.
"Qantas was able to obtain hotel rooms, but not transportation for its passengers," airport spokesman David Magana said. "They offered to the passengers the option to stay on the plane if that was more comfortable for them. Doors remained opened, passengers could get in and out as they wished."
Many passengers did go back and forth between the plane and terminal, according to a tweet from DFW Airport, and were able to go to the hotel once the roads reopened.
The airport also tweeted this afternoon that about 400 departures had been cancelled so far today. It said it is prepared for the coming ice storms with "de-icing equipment and top-of-the-line snow plows."
The roughly 17-hour flight from Dallas to Brisbane has been rescheduled for 11 p.m. tonight.

Selected as a 2011 University Press Book for Public and Secondary School Libraries
•Rated S — Special Interest
Today's shoppers don't just consume; we investigate and categorize the impact of our decisions on climate change, animals, our health, our political views, geopolitical relationships, working conditions, and more. Yet when we actually try to live according to our principles, it can be so overwhelming, contradictory, and demanding that we want to scream. Do I buy imported organic or local nonorganic? Is it terrible if my child wants watermelon out of season?
Veteran journalist and levelheaded mom Fran Hawthorne sets out to answer these questions–and spark more. En route, she interviews activists and ordinary consumers alike, including officials from PETA, the AFL-CIO, the Sierra Club, an organization of "EcoMoms," and the rabbinical group that has redefined kosher. She learns from ethicists, psychologists, Wall Street analysts, child-rearing experts, and policy wonks, while examining everything from Barack Obama's union-made inaugural ball tuxedo to the conundrum of how electric cars might obtain their electricity. And she delves into socially responsible investing at a moment when the wheels have come off the economy. Her odyssey will be all too familiar and often funny for consumers who have thrown up their hands and wondered, "What's a good liberal to do?"
"People are quickly learning that living a simple, low-impact life actually isn't so simple. Thankfully, there's much-needed relief to be found in Fran Hawthorne's funny, poignant, and often eye-opening way of sorting through the dilemmas–and solutions–facing socially and environmentally minded consumers."–Greg Melville, author of Greasy Rider: Two Dudes, One Fry-Oil-Powered Car, and a Cross-Country Search for a Greener Future
"With a welcome mixture of facts and humor, Fran Hawthorne highlights the dilemmas of living an environmentally virtuous, healthy life in a fiercely consumption-oriented culture."–Michael F. Jacobson, PhD, executive director, Center for Science in the Public Interest

Joey Lawrence Gives Away a Brand-New Car!
It's a family affair for Joey Lawrence!
The Melissa & Joey star brought his adorable daughter Charli Lawrence to the 5th Annual March Of Dimes Celebration Of Babies (pictured in November) and continues his good work today -- by giving away a free car!
The Dancing with the Stars alum personally tested nine of the most popular small and midize SUVs in the $29,000 SUV Shootout, ultimately choosing the Chevrolet Equinox for his family. Cars.com generously purchased the same make and model to donate to his charity of choice.
March of Dimes plans to use the vehicle in conjunction with 2011 campaign efforts along with Farmers Insurance.
