After playing Episodes one and two a few months back (and having loads of problems with the game working) I decided to wait a mont or so to let mac issues get handled with before playing episode 3. Well, when I attempted the game wouldn't load past the title screen. So to attempt to fix this problem I uninstalled the game and redownloaded it, instead of the game working, I can't even get to the title screen any more as soon as I try and start the executable this error message appears:
""TheWalkingDead" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash."
Just to make sure this wasn't just a fluke, I uninstalled the game again, and did the process over to the same results. (oh and between uninstalling and reinstalling I would reboot the computer.) So now I'm really stuck, any help from support staff, or others who understand how to fix this problem would be very appreciated.

:: Home > General News > Peace Corps waiting for applications from Romanian schools
09. 11. 09. - 17:00
09. 11. 09. - 17:00
The US Peace Corps is waiting for applications from interested schools for its volunteer programme, the US Embassy in Romania has said.
The programme features volunteers teaching English for a two-year period of time, and their service as English teachers is based on applications Peace Corps Romania receives from schools.
Effective immediately, Peace Corps Romania is open to receiving applications from interested schools in Romania. The deadline for submissions is 1 February 2010.
Since 1992, American volunteers have been teaching English at middle and high schools throughout Romania to meet local needs. Peace Corps Romania receives applications from rural and small-town schools, where no volunteer has been assigned before, in under-served areas that lack access to English-language education and human resources.
The Peace Corps is a United States Government agency established in 1961. Per the US and Romanian Governments Country Agreement, the agency has been running operations in Romania since 1992.
There are 65 volunteers teaching English at middle and high schools, working under the Teaching English as a Foreign Language programme. It is under the Ministry of Education, Research and Innovations supervision, per the project plan drafted by Peace Corps Romania in accord with Peace Corps guidelines.

OVER the past decade privatisation has been at the heart of the market reforms that have swept over Latin America. Except in Brazil. Since 1991, Brazil's government has quietly sold 55 companies, for a total of $15 billion. But most of these sales, of businesses such as steelworks and petrochemical plants, attracted little attention.
Now this privatisation programme is to be extended, and the scale of the proposed sales is breathtaking. On April 29th a controlling stake in Companhia Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), the world's largest miner of iron ore, is due to go to auction. That will mark the start of two years of further sales. They are expected to raise $50 billion, much of it from foreign buyers.
Another firm coming up for sale is Eletropaulo, the electricity distributor in Sao Paulo city, which is to be split up into smaller units for privatisation. This one company sells 15% of all Latin America's electricity. Yet another, Eletrobras, the federal holding company for electricity generation, is among the world's top five power companies by market capitalisation. Brazil's government is likely to collect more in its current auction of cellphone licences than Mexico or Argentina received in exchange for controlling stakes in their main telephone companies.
The government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso has a strong interest in seeing these privatisations through. On top of a desire to attract foreign capital and technology to modernise the country's infrastructure, it badly needs dollars to finance a growing trade deficit. Foreign investors look willing to oblige, especially now that the country's economic reforms have put an end to three decades of chronic inflation and the government has liberalised trade. A few local pioneers have reaped swift rewards: Bozano Simonsen, a financial-services firm in Rio de Janeiro, pocketed a $400m profit last year, when it sold minority stakes in two privatised steel makers it had bought for a total of $150m.
New openness to foreign investment will invite consequences that go far beyond the companies sold and the investors buying them. Privatisation will also affect local companies. In some cases, such as telecoms, the government is forbidding foreigners to buy more than a minority stake. That is forcing would-be buyers to find local partners. The resulting international joint ventures will change Brazil's previously introverted business world.
Iron will
CVRD's sale is a landmark because of its political sensitivity. Many Brazilians see this sprawling natural-resources conglomerate as a symbol of industrial virility. They think it should be kept in public ownership, and some are still fighting in the courts to that end. As well as being the world's largest producer of iron ore, with more than 18% of the global market, CVRD owns a railway system that carries almost two-thirds of Brazil's rail freight. Unlike many of its state-owned peers, CVRD is reasonably well-run. But it made an unexciting operating profit of 249m reals ($247m) on sales of 5 billion reals last year.
The government has set a minimum price of 3 billion reals for its 45% stake in CVRD. One well-connected bidder is a consortium known as Valecom, which already includes Votorantim, Brazil's biggest family conglomerate, South Africa's Anglo American group, and several Japanese steel makers. Valecom's likely rival is Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (CSN), a steel company privatised in 1993, which has already bought stakes in Light, Rio de Janeiro's electricity retailer, and in various railway companies. CSN's bid for CVRD is backed by America's NationsBank and a group of Brazilian pension funds.
Jose Pio Borges of Brazil's National Development Bank, the government agency in charge of privatisation, claims that in private hands CVRD can easily cut costs by a fifth. As an example he cites the rigid public tendering system that has, among other things, forced CVRD to buy a ludicrously diverse tractor fleet. (Its stockpile of spare parts is six times bigger than that of competitors.) Others reckon that livening up CVRD's engineering-led corporate culture will be a hard slog.
The CSN-led group might well speed things up by selling non-core businesses such as aluminium and cellulose. Valecom, by contrast, would keep CVRD intact for the first five years, according to Juvenil Felix of Anglo American's Brazilian subsidiary. That is because CVRD's non-iron businesses overlap closely with those of Valecom's members. (Last year Anglo American spent around $250m to buy a 27% stake in Aracruz, Brazil's biggest cellulose producer.)
Similar match-making and feuding is taking place in telecoms. Earlier this month, 15 consortia tendered bids for Brazil's first privately operated cellphone licences. These groups link a who's who of corporate Brazil with international companies such as America's AT&T, SBC Communications and BellSouth, Hong Kong's Hutchison Whampoa, Korea Telecom and Italy's state-owned STET.
The government has split the cellphone market up into eight different areas and has set a minimum price of 3.7 billion reals. It may in fact collect 6 billion reals. Bidders are excited by the country's pent-up demand for telephony of all kinds, which Telebras, the state-controlled monopoly, and its regional operating companies have been unable to meet. In 1995 Brazil had just 7.5 main telephone lines per 100 people.
Pyramid Research, a telecoms consultancy (owned by our sister company, the Economist Intelligence Unit), reckons that cellphone ownership in Brazil will rise from its current 2.7m to 16.2m by 2001 and that the number of fixed-line telephones will rise from 14.5m to 27.7m over the same period. Most people in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro live in dense concentrations of high-rise buildings, making infrastructure cheap to install. Corrado Varoli of Morgan Stanley, an American investment bank, says that Brazil's decision to allow only two cellphone competitors per city, compared with three or more in most cities in the United States, will bolster the firms' prospects.
A simpler Telebras
Encouraged by the aggressive plans of the cellphone bidders, the federal government has brought forward plans to privatise the country's fixed-line telephone monopoly. At present the government owns only 21% of Telebras's total equity, but it has a controlling interest in the voting shares; Telebras in turn controls nearly 30 operating companies, all of which are partly listed on the stock exchange. Now it looks as if the government plans to bundle, and then sell, this whole system as just five companies—four to handle local calls and the fifth international traffic.
Telebras's convoluted share structure is positively straightforward compared with that of the country's hydro-powered electricity system. In this case local governments are involved as well as the federal one. The federal government has already sold the only two distributors it owned (including a 55% stake in Light, sold last May for 2.2 billion reals to a group including Electricité de France and two American firms). But only one state government, Rio de Janeiro's, has got round to selling its distributor.
As regards electricity-generating assets, the government has yet to decide on a clear pricing formula and a regulator: both are essential if it is to lure energy investors away from Asia. Demand for power in Brazil grew 7% last year. Lawson Steele, an electricity specialist at Paribas, a French investment bank, says that merely to keep pace the country will need to more than double its current investment of $3 billion a year in power generation. Otherwise, electricity rationing is likely in three or four years' time.
All this implies that the path for foreign investors will be bumpier than they hope. It may be far from smooth, too, for Brazil's domestic businesses. The family conglomerates that dominate parts of the economy have been tested by Brazil's turbulent economy: they are famously flexible. Nonetheless, the formerly protected domestic market has made them insular. Privatisation gives them opportunities not just to buy near-monopolies in the utility business but also, through foreign joint ventures, to learn about the technologies and management skills that they now need.
In order to finance their new ventures, many family businesses will have to raise capital on public markets. In return, investors and foreign joint-venture partners will demand that the families abandon some of their autocractic habits in favour of greater openness. The ones that master these skills may yet become multinationals in their own right. Many more will find that Brazil's newly cosmopolitan economy is a difficult place in which to survive.

Shoot The Nets
Netherlands, 1952 (MIFF 1954, Peoples And Places)
Director: Herman Van der Horst
Shoot the Nets can be briefly described as a Dutch "North Sea". It shows the ceremonies and celebrations that usher in the herring season, the decking of the boats with flags, and the setting off of the herring fleet to the fishing grounds of the Dogger Bank. The climax of the film is the final battle between the fishermen and their sturdy vessel against the full fury of a North Sea storm.

What a perfect place for a family get away. The Clark Suite was perfect for our family of 7 adults. The kitchen was immaculate and well equipped with anything you needed. I enjoyed serving breakfast on the private patio. The beds were comfortable. There was plenty of room as the downstairs allowed the younger couples to have a place of their own. I was more than impressed. The location was ideal. We were able to walk to Wrigley Field and the L train was just a 10 minute walk.
Teri was great to work with as she replied to any emails I sent in a timely manner.
I would recommend the Clark Suite for those traveling to Chicago and we will defiantly stay there in any future trips. ( Already planning a Friends weekend and plan to book this again) more

What is so hard about capturing streams? You just need a sound card that can do full duplex (like, anything made after 1996 or so) playback and recording.
Failing that you just pop in two sound cards and run the output from one into the input for the other, either through software or using a cable.
I use Meda Center to record literally dozens of streams every week, timed using its Scheduler, convert into MP3, and listen to them in the car.
I'm pretty sure even iTunes can do this. Can't it?

text: There are many reasons why divorce recovery can be a slow and painful process: there's the plummet in your self-confidence after being rejected by a longtime partner; there's the loneliness, the feeling of not being whole without somebody to share your life; and there's the disillusionment in marriage as the great happily-ever-after, or at least in your own marriage as "the real thing." You'll grieve the loss of what you thought was marital bliss, and this is a normal and necessary stage. What could be more painful than the loss, however, is the fear of being single. How will I cope? you wonder. It's scary to start over by yourself after depending on your marriage for so long. You may have merged your identity so closely with your spouse's -- defining yourself as half of a couple, not as an individual -- that you can't imagine continuing on your own. Perhaps you don't know if you're strong enough to take care of yourself without a spouse's help. Or you're ashamed of singlehood in a society defined by relationships. Will I survive? Will I be of use? Can I still find happiness? The answer to these questions, hard to believe as it may be, is a resounding YES! More than you know, in fact, and in ways you can't foresee while in the early stages of divorce recovery. But it will take time and effort on your part. Reinventing yourself as a single person will be challenging, but through patience and positive thinking, you'll do it, and the rewards will be more than worth it.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Governor Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers announced a deal on Thursday that would allow limited access to medical marijuana and make New York the 23rd U.S. state to offer some kind of availability of the drug for therapeutic purposes.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
The program, which would bar smoking of marijuana but allow it to be eaten or vaporized, would be regulated by the state's Department of Health under the deal. It includes a "fail-safe" provision that would allow the governor to stop the program at any time, Cuomo told a news conference in the state capital Albany.
The plan still needs final approval in the state legislature.
"I always supported the concept of if you can get the medical benefits of medical marijuana to a suffering patient, clearly you would want to do that," said Cuomo, a Democrat. "My trepidation has always been the risk. This bill virtually eliminates the risk."
Under the plan, the Health Department would license five private companies to produce and distribute marijuana through dispensaries.
"Production, manufacturing and distribution all has to happen within New York state boundaries," Dr. Howard Zucker, the state's acting health commissioner, told the news conference.
The legislation has been the subject of heated last-minute negotiations as New York's current legislative session draws to a close. Versions of the bill have been approved by the liberal state Assembly on multiple occasions since the 1990s.
The current bill must still be voted on by the state Senate, where Republicans have a power sharing agreement with a breakaway group of Democrats.
In May, Minnesota became the 22nd of the 50 states, in addition to the District of Columbia, to allow some sort of access to medical marijuana, according to the advocacy group the Marijuana Policy Project.

A letter sent by 48 reproductive justice, drug policy reform, women's rights, and civil liberties organizations called on Attorney General Eric Holder and the Department of Justice to renounce a policy of enhancing a criminal sentence for crimes committed while pregnant.
An order issued Wednesday lifts an appeals court order blocking several portions of a 2013 North Carolina law designed to make voting harder in the state.
Amid reports of possible corruption and complaints of long waits for benefits have come calls for an investigation into the Medicaid privatization program championed by Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R).
Tuesday the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals struck two more state-level same-sex marriage bans, setting the stage for marriage equality in at least 35 states.
A measure on the Colorado ballot has been compared to "fetal homicide" laws in dozens of states, but the measure is more far-reaching, and could subject pregnant women to prosecution for everything from choosing abortion to driving without wearing a seat belt.
A West Texas abortion provider could face disciplinary consequences for following the mistaken advice of the Texas Department of State Health Services, which wrongly informed Hilltop Women's Reproductive Clinic over the weekend that it was exempt from the state's omnibus anti-abortion law.
The ongoing federal challenge to Texas' omnibus anti-abortion law made its way to the nation's highest court on Monday evening, with abortion providers asking Justice Antonin Scalia to put an appeals court decision on hold while their case makes its way through the judicial system.
Texas politicians have been telling us all along that they are passing onerous abortion restrictions out of concern for women's health. But today RNC Chair Reince Priebus said it was all about taxpayer funding of abortion, which doesn't exist in Texas. Hey, Reince? I'm confused.
Recent findings directly contradict the charge often made by anti-choice politicians that pushing through abortion restrictions is based on an overarching desire to protect the health and safety of women.
For a woman like "Maria," a representative 26-year-old living in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, obtaining a legal abortion procedure will now cost more than a month's wages, not to mention considerable lost time. The car ride alone will take her about seven hours—a trip you can experience yourself in the following videos.

Given its rampant crime, corruption and money issues, a lot of residents of Illinois publicly wish they could give Chicago away. They almost never had it at all.
The original proposed northern boundary of Illinois was a straight line from the southernmost tip of Lake Michigan to just south of the Rock and Mississippi River confluence - had it been approved, the northern 51 miles of the Illinois Territory would have become Wisconsin when it became a state in 1848.

ZOOLOGISTS ANNOUNCED THE discovery of a tiny, super-cute new primate which can kill a human by licking its elbow. I am not making this up.
The new species of loris found in the Philippines has a poison gland at its elbow, says the American Journal of Primatology. If the creature feels threatened, it attempts to grabs a slurp of poison before biting the attacker.

This Father's Day, for the first time in my life, I find
myself nearly struck dumb with fear. I am the proud father of a one-year-old
boy and a four-year-old girl whom I love more than the sun and the moon – more
than I love my own being. I am also the founder and CEO of an addiction
treatment center, where I see the horrors of what can happen to human beings
through their own bad choices and being taken advantage of by others. Until
this year my kids seemed so little, so young. They were at home; I could
protect them. This year, I am looking at kindergartens for my eldest and I
can't help but see the world through the lens of my profession.

Romney Supporter McCain Dodges On Whether Russia Is U.S.'s 'No. 1 Foe': In 'Many Respects' They Are
"Romney Supporter McCain Dodges On Whether Russia Is U.S.'s 'No. 1 Foe': In 'Many Respects' They Are"
Mitt Romney has been attacking President Obama for a comment he made to Russian President Dimitry Medvedev that he'd be more "flexible" on issues like missile defense after this year's presidential election. Romney called the comments "very, very troubling," because Russia is "our number one geopolitical foe." While some of Obama's political opponents are piling on, House Speaker John Boehner tried to rein in the attacks. "While the president is overseas I think it's appropriate that people not be critical of him or our country," he said.
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) — who attacked then-senator Obama for political gain while he was abroad during the 2008 presidential campaign — is choosing to ignore the Republican House Speaker on national security grounds. "I respectfully disagree with Speaker Boehner," McCain said on Fox News this morning, because, he said, "this is a very serious issue." And when asked if he thinks, as Romney does, that Russia is America's "number one foe," the Arizona senator wouldn't go that far: "I think in many respects":
MCCAIN: I understand John Boehner's point and I respect that but this is a very serious issue. No matter where the president is, if he makes a statement that I think could endanger the United States national security interests, I have to respond no matter where the president of the United States is. [...] All I can say is I respectfully disagree with Speaker Boehner. [...]
KILMEADE: Do you think they [Russia] are our geopolitical foe?
MCCAIN: I think in many respects, look at what they're doing in Syria right now, they're supplying arms and equipment to Bashar Assad while he slaughters and massacres his own people. Look at — they continue to prop up North Korea…and obviously now there is a president for life.
Watch the clip:
This isn't the first time McCain has differed with Romney on a foreign policy issue. The former Massachusetts governor said that under no condition should the United States negotiate with the Taliban to end the war in Afghanistan. However, McCain recently disagreed. "I think it's important to have talks wherever you can," he said.
Medvedev also criticized Romney yesterday. "I always get very cautious when I see a country resort to phrasings such as 'No. 1 enemy.' It is very reminiscent of Hollywood in a certain period of history," the Russian president said, adding, "My other advice is to check their clocks from time to time. It is 2012, not the mid-1970s."
McCain saw Medvedev's comment as meaning that Russia is in the tank for Obama. "They obviously want president Obama reelected, that's pretty clear," McCain told the Hill newspaper.

Oregon bill would make voter registration automatic
May 8, 2013
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Oregon's chief elections official wants almost everyone with a driver's license to be automatically registered to vote.
The plan, proposed by Democratic Secretary of State Kate Brown, would significantly redesign Oregon's voter-registration practices and potentially add hundreds of thousands of newly registered voters to the state.
Combined with Oregon's all-mail elections, the bill would mean that most adult state residents would automatically get a ballot in their mailbox. Republicans have reacted with caution, saying they're concerned about the potential for fraud.
The House Rules Committee heard public testimony on Brown's proposal Wednesday but did not decide whether to advance it.
"Voting is a right and a power afforded every eligible citizen in this state," Brown told the committee. "The purpose of registration is to identify eligible people, not to exclude them."
Nearly 40,000 people tried to register to vote but missed the deadline over the last three elections, Brown said.
The debate comes amid a fierce disagreement between activists in both parties over the mechanics of voting — how a ballot is cast, and how much proof of identity should be required.
Democrats worry that strict registration and identification requirements disenfranchise voters, particularly young, old and low-income voters who may have more trouble providing proof of their identity and address. Republicans fear that lax restrictions would make it easier for someone to illegally cast a ballot.
"Voter registration should be the responsibility of citizens, not the responsibility of state agencies," said Sandy Raddue of Beaverton, who leads the Oregon Republican Party's election integrity efforts.
Brown survived a tough re-election challenge last year and is widely viewed as a potential candidate for higher office.
The measure would require the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division to send names, ages, addresses, citizenship details and digital signatures to the Secretary of State's Office, the state agency in charge of elections. People who meet the legal requirements to vote would be registered if they aren't already, and they'd receive a letter with instructions to cancel their registration or join a political party if they wished to do so.
The move would significantly swell the voter ranks — Brown's office estimates an influx of about 500,000 new registered voters. With a population of 3.9 million, Oregon had about 3 million adult licensed drivers at the end of 2011, the most recent year available. There are currently 2.2 million registered voters. Some of the licensed drivers who aren't registered to vote would be ineligible to cast a ballot because they're not U.S. citizens or were convicted of a felony.
Oregon's voter turnout is among the highest in the nation. Last year, 83 percent of eligible voters returned their ballot.
Eight states and the District of Columbia allow voters to register on election day, and North Dakota doesn't require voter registration.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama outlined a campaign Wednesday to launch airstrikes in both Syria and Iraq. Obama said he doesn't believe he needs Congressional approval for this military action, which will be conducted with allies. He will seek Congressional support and additional money to finance the operation.
Here are comments from some of Minnesota's Congressional delegation after the speech:
Sen. Al Franken, Democrat: "I want to find out more about the potential ramifications of these actions on the civil war in Syria, for more specifics about the coalition the administration intends to build, and about their ongoing efforts to stifle terrorist recruitment activities in Minnesota and around the country."
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Democrat: "I support targeted airstrikes in Iraq and Syria as well as training and equipping the moderate Syrian opposition, and I also think it's critical that we work with our allies in the international community so we are united in our effort defeat this terrorist organization."
Rep. John Kline, Republican: "It's never a good strategy to telegraph to the enemy what options are off the table. As a 25-year Marine Corps veteran, the father of a son who has served three tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, and a member of the House Armed Services Commmittee, I will continue to ensure our allies and personnel in Iraq and around the globe are receiving the support they need to combat terrorism, while carefully reviewing additional military actions taken by the president."
Rep. Tim Walz, Democrat: "The president has the authority to expand strategic airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq. I believe he should exercise that authority. Before taking any warranted action against ISIL in Syria, however, I believe the president should consult with Congress."
Rep. Michele Bachmann, Republican (via Twitter)
"The president gave a poll driven speech that has nothing in common with defeating a brutal enemy that has declared war on the United States."
"The president's so-called strategy offered virtually nothing new, and it's clear he doesn't understand the threat of Islamic jihad."
Democratic U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison said he is "proud to stand" with fast-food workers protesting nationwide to demand a $15 minimum wage and the right to form a union.
Strikers gather Thursday in more than 100 cities, including Minneapolis, where Ellison joined workers in pre-dawn demonstrations.
A number of fast-food workers make close to the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, or roughly $15,000 annually. Some say that is not a living wage, especially for workers who are supporting families.
"Thousands of fast food workers will be out in the street today, demanding a living wage and the right to organize," said Ellison, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
"They're doing it because they have families to feed and parents to look after. They're doing it because they have basic needs that can't be met at $7.25 an hour. They're standing for the possibility of a better future and an economy that works for all Americans, not just the wealthy few. I'm proud to stand with them."
The National Council of Chain Restaurants, an industry trade group, took issue with the protests, which led to arrests in several cities.
"There are millions of workers in the food retail industry who find personal satisfaction in their work and appreciate the opportunities provided by the restaurants that hire them," executive director Rob Green said in a statement. "The activities being coordinated, financed and facilitated by labor unions - desperate for new membership dues - accomplish absolutely nothing."
The strike comes just days after President Obama voiced his support for the movement at a Labor Day speech in Wisconsin.
"All across the country right now, there's a national movement going on made up of fast-food workers organizing to life wages so they can provide for their families with pride and dignity," Obama said.
According to Federal Election Commission data, Minnesota's Eighth Congressional District race has attracted the most money from outside groups so far.
The contest between Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan and Republican Stewart Mills has already seen nearly $1.4 million in PAC spending, with much of it coming from Nolan supporters, such as the House Majority Fund and the AFSCME union.
In contrast, the race for the Seventh Congressional District seat, which Republican Torrey Westrom hopes to snatch from longtime Democratic Rep. Collin Peterson, has only seen $245,000 in independent expenditures. Interestingly, the last filing documenting outside spending in that race was from eight months ago.
Minnesota's U.S. Senate race, so far, has drawn relatively little interest from independent spenders. According to FEC filings, outside groups have spent about $140,000 to weigh in on the battle between Democratic Sen. Al Franken and Republican Mike McFadden.
The FEC calculations only include expenditures that represent, "spending by individual people, groups, political committees, corporations or unions expressly advocating the election or defeat of clearly identified federal candidates."

U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison supports a Congressional Black Caucus letter urging the Justice Department to conduct a complete, stand-alone investigation of the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo.
The caucus signed sent a letter to Attorney General Eric. H. Holder Jr., that expressed gratitude for the Justice Department investigation already underway regarding the incident, in which a Ferguson policeman shot and killed 18-year-old Michael Brown.
Police have said the teen tried to take an officer's gun, but at least one witness said the teen was shot without cause.
"Press reports suggest that Mr. Brown's shooting may be symptomatic of larger racial tensions in Ferguson," the letter to Holder read.
"We ask the Department to dedicate sufficient resources to investigate the legal and civil rights ramifications of the shooting and surrounding circumstances," the letter writers said.
"First, the St. Louis County Police Department may not be the most objective or credible body to investigate civil rights matters involving law enforcement given evidence of racial profiling in the past year," they continued. "Second, only the federal government has the resources, the experience, and the independence to give this case the close scrutiny that the citizens of Ferguson and the greater St. Louis area deserve."
Ellison used his Twitter account earlier this week to call for a "full, transparent investigation into the shooting of Michael Brown" and added that "Thoughts and prayers are with his family."
WASHINGTON -- Minnesota's eight House members voted mostly like the rest of the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday on a measure to sue President Barack Obama over executive powers -- the state's three Republicans supported it, the five Democrats voted against it.
At the heart of the House resolution, which authorizes GOP Speaker John Boehner to sue the president, is Obamacare. Republicans say the president has not adequately enforced the law, which they oppose, because his administration has delayed some parts of its implementation, including the requirement that employers provide health coverage.
Republican Rep. Erik Paulsen's spokesman sent over this statement Thursday:
"Congressman Paulsen is concerned about the continued growth of executive power and its impact on our political system. The vote made by the House seeks more accountability of the executive branch through this narrowly defined action. This is more about making sure the president – and any future president – is constitutionally required to faithfully execute our nation's laws or go through Congress to have them changed."
Joining Paulsen in a yes vote were GOP Reps. Michele Bachmann and John Kline.
Democrat Rep. Betty McCollum said ahead of the vote she was going to vote "no on the Boehner lawsuit and will instead focus my energy on the needs of the families of the Fourth District."
Democratic Reps. Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, Collin Peterson and Rick Nolan also voted no.
"Republicans have failed to get their work done in Washington and they use stunts like this lawsuit to distract attention from that simple truth," McCollum said.

Even though Brock Lesnar agreed to work more dates for the company, WWE still has reservations about having a part time world champion. Reports have surfaced that management is considering the possibility of having Seth Rollins cashing in on his Money in the Bank briefcase at Night of Champions. The move would require John Cena to regain the championship briefly.
September 6, 2014
According to backstage rumors, Adam Rose is clinging on by a thread since key members of WWE management, including Vince McMahon and producer Kevin Dunn, are not big fans of his character. Things might have gotten worse since his match at Money in the Bank 2014 against Damien Sandow was basically ignored by the live audience. Rose could be demoted from television very soon.
July 5, 2014
While he was widely viewed as one of the favorites to win the title at Money in the Bank 2014, Bray Wyatt was actually never in consideration as a champion by WWE. The company was dead set on putting the belt back around John Cena, as they felt that they needed their top star to be the face of the company while they're trying to win back the trust of the investors. Putting the belt on Wyatt might not evoke the same level of trust from people who might not necessarily follow the product as much as fans.
July 3, 2014
While there is still a chance that he was working the audience during his speech at Money in the Bank 2014, the topic of Daniel Bryan require a second surgery to repair his neck is a major issue for WWE. Reports are surfacing that if it is true that he needs to go under the knife again, there is a very good chance that Bryan could miss up to a year of action.
June 30, 2014
There was a bit of concern backstage for Randy Orton during the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Early on in the match, he was struck by a ladder, which caused him to bleed pretty badly. Medical personnel and Triple H immediately tended to him to stop the wound. While there were some fears of a concussion, Orton opted to finish the match. Afterwards, he was given nearly a dozen staples to close the wound. Orton reportedly is undergoing some tests today to check for concussions.
June 30, 2014
For quite a few weeks now, there have been rumors of Miz making his television return to Monday Night Raw. Some speculations have Ric Flair joining him on that return. With Money in the Bank 2014 in the books now, those rumors are heating up again. Some believe that tonight will be the night when they finally come back and start the push for Miz.
June 30, 2014
Since it has failed to reach expectations, the WWE Network has been a bit of a black eye for Vince McMahon and company. Things might be getting worse really soon, as quite a few subscribers attempted to cancel their service because of technical issues during the streaming of Money in the Bank 2014. WWE was already concerned about how to entice new people to sign up, so that they can finally break that million subscribers mark.
June 30, 2014
A lot of action took place in the main event of Money in the Bank 2014. Fans went crazy as they saw creative signature spots from Randy Orton, Sheamus, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Bray Wyatt. However, it was Cena, much to the dismay of online WWE fans, who climbed the ladder and captured the heavyweight championship.
June 29, 2014
To calm down the Money in the Bank 2014 audience, WWE opted to go with another divas match as a filler. Layla El and Summer Rae battled in a match, where Fandango served as the special guest referee. Fans were so disinterested in the segment that a CM Punk chant broke out. In the end, Layla caught Summer with a kick to gain the pinfall. Layla and Fandango kissed after the match, while a despondent Summer looked on.
June 29, 2014
In a rematch at Money in the Bank 2014, Alexander Rusev was successfully able to conquer Big E Langston again with his submission move. It was the typical match that you would expect from the two. There was a botched spot where Langston speared Rusev to the outside of the ring. However, the two of them more than made up for that by doing a great closing sequence.
June 29, 2014
In a very exciting match, Seth Rollins outlasted Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and Jack Swagger to capture the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. WWE wants to continue the war between Ambrose and the Authority, so they had Kane coming out and providing assistance to Rollins. Despite the heel tactic to win the match, the Rollins victory was actually cheered by a good amount of fans.
June 29, 2014
Since WWE needed a filler segment at Money in the Bank 2014 and wanted to showcase Adam Rose a little bit, he was given a quick match against Damien Sandow, who was dressed as Paul Revere. Match was not really all that noteworthy, and Rose got the win after hitting the Party Foul finishing move. This was a segment that belongs more on Monday Night Raw than a pay per view.
June 29, 2014
Naomi Knight was given a crack at the WWE Divas Championship at Money in the Bank 2014, but it was Paige that walked away as the reigning titleholder after a DDT and a pin. The match was designed to further the eventual split between Naomi and Cameron, who was at ringside and taking glee whenever her tag team partner was in peril against Paige.
June 29, 2014
Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso had their biggest challenge to date when Erick Rowan and Luke Harper challenged them for the WWE tag team championship at Money in the Bank 2014. The twin brothers delivered by retaining the belt. The Usos performed a double superplex on Rowan before finishing him off with consecutive flying splashes from the top rope.
June 29, 2014
Thanks to the help of Kane, Seth Rollins was able to climb the ladder uninterrupted and win the briefcase at Money in the Bank 2014. The Big Red Monster came to the ring and attacked Dean Ambrose to clear the path. Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Rob Van Dam were all laid out on the floor during the finale. WWE power couple Triple H and Stephanie McMahon came out afterwards to congratulate Rollins.
June 29, 2014
There is a feeling within the WWE locker room that management does not want Daniel Bryan back in the main event scene when he makes his return. Some are pointing out how he is being brought back in a minimum role at Money in the Bank 2014 as a sign of WWE downplaying his importance. Guys like Batista and Brock Lesnar would not be utilized in such a manner when they come back from their hiatus.
June 29, 2014
As of right now, WWE has a big match between Roman Reigns and Randy Orton penciled in for WWE Battleground 2014. The company could set up the feud during the title match at Money in the Bank 2014. There are some rumors floating around that Orton and Reigns could be battling for the title at Battleground, even though it's a bit early for the big push to begin.
June 28, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that Cameron will be doing a heel turn at Money in the Bank 2014. She will more than likely cost Naomi Knight her chance at the WWE Divas Championship. There is also speculations that the incident will then lead to a triple threat match at WWE Battleground 2014, which would also feature Paige as the champion still.
June 27, 2014
Over the last couple of months, Wade Barrett has been gaining momentum in WWE after receiving a little push. A lot of fans want to see him winning the gold at Money in the Bank 2014. However, the chances of that happening have decreased tremendously, as the Intercontinental Champion has suffered some sort of shoulder injury. Medical tests are still being ran, but rumors are strongly suggesting that WWE will pull him from the pay per view.
June 25, 2014
The rumors of John Cena winning the WWE title at Money in the Bank 2014 just got hotter now that the company has accidentally revealed a poster for Summerslam 2014, which features what looks like a main event match between Cena and Brock Lesnar. There has been speculations over the last couple of months that when the former UFC champion makes his return to WWE, he would be thrown into a title program.
June 25, 2014
A picture of Vladimir Kozlov doing MMA, in case you're wondering what the former WWE star has been doing with his time since leaving the company a couple of years back.
March 13, 2014
Since he left WWE a couple of years back, Vladimir Kozlov has been doing a little MMA training and a little acting. Based on his Twitter account, however, it seems like his full time job is living, as he is constantly posting pictures of himself at various social functions. He posted this picture recently of himself and his attractive girlfriend.
February 19, 2014
Former WWE star Vladimir Kozlov posted a picture of himself with his girlfriend on Twitter.
December 14, 2013
While WWE was in Florida this past week, Santino Marella met up with Vladimir Kozlov to hang out for a bit.
October 30, 2013
Approximately a month after being released by WWE, Vladimir Kozlov has rebounded and found a new job in the world of professional wrestling. He has signed on with Japanese legend Antonio Inoki and his Inoki Genome Federation. He will be utilizing the name Alexander Kozlov since Vince McMahon currently owns the rights to his previous moniker.
September 3, 2011
Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov walked into Elimination Chamber 2011 as the WWE Tag Team Champions, but they would walk away without the gold, as Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater, representing the Corre, were victorious in their match. Ezekiel Jackson and Tamina Snuka were both at ringside.
February 20, 2011
After scouting the MMA fighter for quite some time, WWE was finally able to sign Vladimir Kozlov to a developmental contract. Since he has limited experience with professional wrestling, the company plans on sending him down to Deep South Wrestling for some training.

Biggest little used bookstore in the world. From the Publisher The year is 1985. Brian Jackson, a working-class kid on full scholarship, has started his ?rst term at university. The usual freshman anxiety over ?tting in is compounded by the gap between his own humble origins and the privileged backgrounds of his better-off classmates. Brian also has a dark secret—a long-held, burning ambition (stoked by his late father) to appear on the wildly popular TV quiz show University Challenge—and now, ?nally, it seems the dream is about to become reality. He's made the school team, and they've completed the qualifying rounds and are limbering up for their ?rst televised match. (And, what's more, he's fallen head over heels for one of his teammates, the beautiful, brainy, and intimidatingly posh Alice Harbinson.) Life seems perfect and triumph inevitable—but as his world opens up, Brian learns that a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.Reminiscent of such classic coming-of-age works as The Graduate and Goodbye, Columbus, A Question of Attraction marks the literary debut of David Nicholls, one of England's most highly praised television writers. It is an unforgettable story of love, class, ?nding one's place in the world, and the all-important difference between knowledge and wisdom.

Hi Oscar
Sorry haven't replied,haven't been on the site lately,been livin lifea bit.Anyway what year and model is the bike,what model Keihin flat slide has it got,have these been fitted at a later date,or is your bike a R or SP and fitted with them as standard?Thing is the slides should just lift out of the top of the carb once disconnected from the lifters? the carb body's shouldn't be separated(don't dismantle by undoing the Torx screws) best thing to do is have them put in a sonic bath until everything comes good,lube up with a light spray oil,then keep an eye on them and keep them lubed up for the rest of there life.Scoring on the slides on flat slides doesn't make a lot of difference really unless its very excessive,(are your slides on rollers?) so don't worry about that,most flat slides are a bit loose and rattle a bit so don't worry about the fit to much.Hope this help a bit?Good Luck
Dunno why i put kehin they are mikuni t6 stamped on the side.
it's a 1986 gsxr mate and i can't see how they managed to stick shut unless the lifting bar had seized but i had a look at them the other day and they had stuck shut again currently got them spread across the dining room table ......all the jets have been cleaned out and it looks to me that these have an accelerator pump with a jet spraying into the mouth of the carbs a...ihave had these to bits...... just ain't tackled the slides yet going to do that in a bit ...all the accelerator pump holes in the float bowls were fuckin blocked solid and some fekker has bent some of the nozzles but i have removed them also and cleaned them out
the slides ain't on rollers how do the slides come out ???? looks like there is a r clip holding them in ....or do you need to remover the lifter bar or just detach the spring ? anyway given up for tonight and started on the brewskis
