Advisory Committee Co-Chair, National Organization for Women
In 1992, Carol Moseley Braun made the leap to the national political arena: She ran for the Illinois seat in the U.S. Senate, looking to unseat incumbent Democratic Senator Alan Dixon in the Democratic primary. Up against a seasoned politician who had spent decades in office, Braun appeared to be the underdog. But many responded to Braun as a chance for political change. Although she had tough opposition from her Republican opponent, she was endorsed by NOW PAC and had NOW activists working with her campaign. She won the election, becoming the first African-American woman to win election to the U.S. Senate. As a senator, Braun tackled many issues, including women's rights and civil rights. She served as the first permanent female member of the powerful Senate Finance Committee. Moseley Braun served as Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa. Ambassador Braun is a former candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. After nearly 30 years of public service, Ambassador Braun transitioned to the private sector and started an organic foods company called Good Foods Organics.

Ottawa is the capital of Canada, and the fourth largest city in the country. The city is located on the south bank of the Ottawa River in the eastern portion of Southern Ontario. Ottawa borders Gatineau, Quebec, and together they form the National Capital Region. Founded in 1826 as Bytown and incorporated as "Ottawa" in 1855, the city has evolved into a political and technological centre of Canada. Its original boundaries were expanded through numerous minor annexations and ultimately replaced by a new city incorporation and major amalgamation in 2001 which significantly increased its land area. The name "Ottawa" is derived from the Algonquin word adawe, meaning "to trade". Initially an Irish and French Christian settlement, Ottawa has become a multicultural city with a diverse population. The 2011 census had the city's population as 883,391, the census metropolitan area population as 1,236,324, and the National Capital Region population as 1,451,415. Mercer ranks Ottawa with the second highest quality of living of any large city in the Americas, and 14th highest in the world. It is also rated the second cleanest city in Canada, and third cleanest city in the world. In 2012, the city was ranked for the third consecutive year as the best community in Canada to live in by MoneySense.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia

Here are the Parliament buildings, the Governor-General's residence, a Roman Catholic cathedral, numerous colleges and schools, and a great library. There is some flour-milling and some iron-working, but the chief industry is lumber felling. Half the people are French Roman Catholics. It became the capital of the Dominion in 1856, and in ten years after the government was installed in its new buildings.

New London - The chance of being captured on video during a traffic stop in New London is diminishing these days, thanks to aging equipment in police department patrol cars.
Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard said last week that seven of the 17 cameras installed in vehicles are out of service. They are part of an older system that needs replacement, he said, but even the newer models have their quirks and are showing signs of age.
The subject came up at a recent police Community Relations Committee meeting in which members asked about the recording of an incident that was the target of a complaint against the department.
"As a matter of policy we routinely place vehicles with working cameras in service on all shifts," Reichard said. "However, at times when those are out of service, vehicles without cameras are required to be used."
Reichard said the video is helpful in prosecutions and more often than not helps to clear an officer of wrongdoing when an allegation of misconduct is made. One of the more famous cases linked to a police video, however, occurred in 2010 and involved allegations of misconduct by New London police officers. City resident Lance Goode complained that a police vehicle video shows Office Roger Newton, who has since resigned, dropping a bag of pills at the scene of his arrest.
Goode has a pending civil suit against Newton, five other officers and the city. U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton issued a ruling March 14 denying motions to dismiss claims against patrolmen Todd Lynch, Wayne P. Neff, David McElroy and Kyle Gorra, Sgt. Lawrence M. Keating and the city.
The cameras are not the only equipment aging at the department, for which the newest patrol vehicles were purchased in 2010. Half of the fleet of 30 patrol vehicles, consisting of the now discontinued Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors, have each logged more than 60,000 miles.
"We're in desperate need of at least six patrol cars immediately," Reichard said at the recent police committee meeting.
Reichard said the highest-mileage cars, which are used around the clock and spend countless hours idling, have reached the critical point. As in many municipalities hindered by financial woes, New London's likelihood of funds becoming available this year is slim.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio, responding to questions about funding, said no decisions have been made.
"The City Administration and Police Administration will review the budget that was passed to assess how best to address staffing, equipment, and vehicle needs," Finizio said.
Public Works Director Tim Hanser said the city council has yet to act on the capital budget proposed for fiscal year 2014, in which police have requested $200,000 for four vehicles. The city is more than two months into the fiscal year. The council did not act on the department's request for $322,000 in the last budget.
Hanser said the city is attempting to revise its replacement schedule and that the police department is not alone in the aging vehicle department. Public Works, he said, has a "front line" plow truck that dates back to 1986.
The fire department also has a 20-year-old pumper in need of replacement, which could cost in the neighborhood of $500,000.
Hanser said that mileage is not the only determining factor in whether a vehicle is replaced, especially for police vehicles whose engines are running constantly while they sit at roadway projects and have logged mostly city miles as opposed to highway miles.
"Idling a car is brutal on an engine," Hanser said.
As the fleet ages, the need for maintenance increases, he said.
One of the highest-mileage vehicles at the department is used by K-9 Officer Todd Lynch, the local union president, who said his vehicle has more than 122,000 miles.
Lynch said K-9 officers drive their vehicles home at night because of the dog, which may account for some added mileage, but added, "I don't know how comfortable you're supposed to feel chasing another vehicle at high speeds with that kind of mileage."
"The most important thing for me is the safety of our officers," Lynch said.
Reichard said the city's information technology department is looking for ways to pay for new equipment, and a formal request for vehicle cameras has not yet been made. Reichard is also part of the working group researching camera systems for the downtown and crime hot spot areas.
The department, Reichard said, is exploring the idea of leasing marked patrol vehicles in three-year cycles, which would replace about a third of the fleet on regular rotations.

As an African-American, would laser surgery be effective for my dark skin?
There are usually three types of acne scars that patients really do not like; ice picks, gouges and craters. All involve scaring down to the deep level of the skin called the dermis. Often minor surgery is required to address these acne type scars in Afro-Americans. Before you consider any treatment for acne scars please make sure your adult acne is under control, not active.
We have a large number of Afro-American patients in our practice. Please do not consider laser resurfacing unless a series of test spots are first performed. Laser resurfacing in Afro-American patients can result in severe scaring and depigmentation of the skin. Please review your concerns with your Dermatologist BEFORE the procedure. It might be of benefit to consider a second opinion with an ASAPS member in your area familiar with your condition.

Cong Flays BJP for Giving Clean Chit to Gadkari
NEW DELHI, Nov 07(Agencies): Congress today attacked BJP for giving a clean chit to its President Nitin Gadkari facing charges of owning shell companies, alleging it has shown the "bankruptcy" of the opposition party's leadership and the "mask" has now come off "exposing its real face".
I and B Minister Manish Tewari told reporters that "this is a strange process and an incredible mechanism in which the informer, investigator and the judge is the same".
He was apparently ridiculing the move by BJP to get a detailed presentation on investments made in Gadkari's company Purti Sugar and Power by chartered accountant S Gurumurthy.
Gurumurthy, an RSS ideologue, was specially invited at the meeting of BJP Core Group yesterday, after which the party announced its backing to Gadkari.
Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh fired a fresh salvo at the BJP for backing Nitin Gadkari, reminding that its president had defended former Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurppa over the corruption issue.
"Gadkari on Yedurappa corruption "Immoral but not illegal". BJP response to Gadkari's fraud companies "Neither Illegal nor Immoral" Jai Ho BJP," Singh commented on Twitter.
The AICC general secretary, who has been frequently attacking the BJP, also said sarcastically, "My admiration for Advani has gone up for his principled stand on Gadkari. Advani sangharsh karo Jaswant, Yashwant, Ram Aapke saath hain (Advani you struggle. Jaswant, Yashwant and Ram Jethmalani are with you)".
Singh's comment has come in the backdrop of the public demand made by eminent lawyer and BJP MP Jethmalani seeking Gadkari's immediate resignation with apparent backing of some senior leaders including Jaswant Singh and Yashwant Sinha.
"The mask is off. The real face of BJP, which used to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh every now and then, stands exposed now," Congress spokesperson Renuka Chowdhary said at AICC's media briefing accusing the party of "double speak" on the issue of corruption.
AICC general secretary B K Hariprasad said BJP's giving a clean chit to Gadkari shows "bankruptcy" of the party leadership and its ideology.
In a stinging remark, he advised Gadkari that he "should close political office and to be back to his business...His Purty group".
Chowdhary described as "divide between RSS-members and non-RSS members in BJP" the demand by Ram Jethmalani for Gadkari's immediate resignation with apparent backing of some senior leaders including Jaswant Singh and Yashwant Sinha.
"That is for Jethmalani and BJP to sort it out. There is a clear divide between RSS-members and non-RSS members within BJP."
Senior Congress leader Suresh Pachouri alleged that RSS and BJP are "adopting" double standards on Nitin Gadkari.
"Both BJP and RSS have double standards on the issue as despite having clear cut proof against Gadkari they gave him clean chit in the matter," he said.
"It has been established that charges against Gadkari were right and therefore he should resign from his post on moral grounds," Pachouri told reporters in Bhopal after attending a function organised by teachers.
On Gadkari's remarks equating IQ levels of Swami Vivekananda and underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, the senior leader said it shows the "mental bankruptcy" of the BJP chief.
Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Kantilal Bhuria said that "by giving clean chit to Gadkari, BJP has proved that it always stands with the corrupt."
Bhuria demanded that Gadkari should step down immediately in view of the seriousness of the allegations against him.

sweet potatoes,(about 1 lb) thinly sliced
2 Tbsp
olive oil
1/2 tsp
cayenne pepper
2 c
reduced fat sour cream (or greek yoghurt)

limes, juice and zest of
2 tsp
sea salt
2 pinch
3 Tbsp
sriracha sauce (monitor for heat sensitive tasters)
1/4 c
fresh minced cilantro
Directions Step-By-Step
1Preheat oven to 425; spray 2 large cookie sheets with non-stick spray. Toss sliced potatoes in oil and cayenne and spread (single layer) on sheets. Bake, turning once, about 25 minutes or until crisp. Season with salt, if desired.

3.5" Front 2" Rear Lift/Level Kit
Reviewed By Edward S (Avoca, PA) Reviewed for a 2014 Dodge Ram —7/26/2014 9:45 AM
Looks great, customer service is awesome (I had a question on torque specs for radius bar bolts). I was skeptical on the quality because of the price, I was surprised how good the quality is. This kit is a heck of a lot cheaper than the big names for my truck. I installed 35's on my truck and wish I had gone bigger because this kit gave me the room for the bigger tires. The only thing I would do over is order longer travel rear shocks for use with this kit.

Top Five Ice Cube Album
Here's my list from 5th to 1st, wonder what you all feel bout it.
5. Raw Footage, Cube best album of this millenium in my opinion. This album deals with a variety of issues from social commentaries to politics, evironmental issues, religion, and profers solutions to a better life. Favorite songs include Take me away, Why me, Do ya thang, Gangsta rap made me do it, Stand tall, Get Used to it, I got my locs on & Hood Mentality.
4. Predator, Cubes' highest selling album, multi platinum as with quite a number of others, this album took Gangsta rap to another level with tracks like wicked, the classic it was a good day, check yo self, u cant fade me - classic story telling. This album truly is masterful and great, could be higher in the opinion of others.
3. Amerikka's most wanted, Cube's first album and one of the 1st albums in hip hop to get 5 star rating by so may magazines and the media alike. This album was raw with wicked flows even though a lot of beats now sound outdated but it's still one of the most influential albums of all time in Hip Hop, love Jackin for beats, the Nigga u luv to hate true Anthem.
2. Lethal Injection, This has to go down as Cube's best in terms of production, the beats on this album are true classics & if it wasnt for the message and the effect my No 1 on this list had on the hip hop community this album would be No 1 period. You Know How We Do It still remains my best Hip Hop song of all time, play it day in day out, my ring tone on my fone, the song was made to make me happy daily. Classic is truly an understatement to describe this song & when u play it alongside classics from Dre, Snoop, 2Pac, Biggie, Nas and other great MCs who ruled at one point its still No 1. There's still What Can I Do, Make it rough make it smooth, When i get to heaven - controversy in its purest form. This album is truly masterful & few albums in Hip Hop can be compared to it.
1. Death Certificate, this album had so many messages and controversy that it has to be No 1. It is truly a Hip Hop classic, I still bump Horny lil devil, I want to kill sam, Us, doing dumb shit, true to the game, the wrong nigga to fuck with, color blind, this album had the best intros i ve ever heard on a rap album the life side and the death side creativity at its highest. Daeth certificate is truly the greatest rap album Cube has ever worked on and is definitely top 5 rap albums of all time.
There are other albums of note but this five ve to be top, war & peace have great songs to, then lets not forget Laugh Now Cry Later with great powerful tracks.

Dell's Compellent Deal Looks Compelling
ROUND ROCK, Tex. ( TheStreet) -- Dell's (DELL) $876 million attempt to acquire Compellent (CML) may have sent the storage maker's shares into a tailspin, but could ultimately prove to be crucial to Dell's long-term enterprise strategy.
The two companies announced on Thursday that they are in advanced discussions about a possible merger, with Dell looking to pay $27.50 a share for the Eden Prairie, Minn.-based outfit.
Compellent's stock, however, plunged $4.61, or 13.70%, to $29.94 on Thursday. Dell shares rose a penny, or 0.08%, to reach $13.69, as the Nasdaq gained 0.03%.
The move is a positive for Dell. "I feel like it's been a long time coming -- it is a good deal," said Vanessa Alvarez, an analyst at Forrester, in an email to TheStreet. "Compellent, from a technology perspective, has what it takes to move Dell forward in the storage market."A combination of servers, networking and storage is the tech sector's must-have trifecta, and chatter about about a Dell buy of Compellent has swirled in the months since Dell lost out to HP (HPQ) in the battle to acquire 3Par (PAR). Compellent, which competes with HP and EMC (EMC), touts tiered storage products that shift older data onto less expensive storage media. Forrester's Alvarez predicts that this technology will help Dell compete more effectively in large enterprises. "The biggest challenge enterprises face today is the large amounts of unstructured data they are sitting on, and in order to effectively manage it, technologies such as those from Compellent (and 3PAR) are needed," she said. Compellent recently posted strong third-quarter results and has successfully tapped into growing demand for virtualization. Dell has made other plays in storage M&A, spending $1.4 billion to acquire EqualLogic in 2008 and snapping up Exanet for an undisclosed fee earlier this year. Alvarez, however, thinks that we're unlikely to see a repeat of the tug-of-war which saw HP walk off with 3Par. "There will be no bidding war, because although I've said and continue to say
