Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 1.14 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the first session.[5] For more information pertaining to Gosar's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[6]
National security
Gosar voted against HR 1960 - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The bill passed the House on June 14, 2013, with a vote of 315 - 108. Both parties were somewhat divided on the vote.[7]
DHS Appropriations
Gosar voted for HR 2217 - the DHS Appropriations Act (2014) Act of 2014. The bill passed the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 245 - 182 that was largely along party lines.[8]
Gosar voted against HR 624 - the CISPA (2013). The bill passed the House on April 18, 2013, with a vote of 288 - 127. The bill would allow federal intelligence agencies to share cybersecurity intelligence and information with private entities and utilities. The bill was largely supported by Republicans, but divided the Democratic Party.[9]
Farm bill
On January 29, 2014, the U.S. House approved the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2013, H.R. 2642, also known as the Farm Bill.[10] The bill passed by a vote of 251-166. The nearly 1,000-page bill reformed and continued various programs of the Department of Agriculture through 2018. The $1 trillion bill expanded crop insurance for farmers by $7 billion over the next decade and created new subsidies for rice and peanut growers that would kick in when prices drop.[11][12] However, cuts to the food stamp program cut an average of $90 per month for 1.7 million people in 15 states.[12] Gosar voted with 62 other Republican representatives against the bill.
2014 Budget
On January 15, 2014, the Republican-run House approved H.R. 3547, a $1.1 trillion spending bill to fund the government through September 30, 2014.[13][14] The House voted 359-67 for the 1,582 page bill, with 64 Republicans and three Democrats voting against the bill.[14] The omnibus package included 12 annual spending bills to fund federal operations.[15] It included a 1% increase in the paychecks of federal workers and military personnel, a $1 billion increase in Head Start funding for early childhood education, reduced funding to the Internal Revenue Service and the Environmental Protection Agency and protected the Affordable Care Act from any drastic cuts. Gosar joined with the 63 other Republicans and 3 Democrats who voted against the bill.[13][14]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 30, 2013, the House passed a final stopgap spending bill before the shutdown went into effect. The bill included a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate and would have also stripped the bill of federal subsidies for congressional members and staff. It passed through the House with a vote of 228-201.[16] At 1 a.m. on October 1, 2013, one hour after the shutdown officially began, the House voted to move forward with going to a conference. In short order, Sen. Harry Reid rejected the call to conference.[17] Gosar voted to approve the stopgap spending bill that would have delayed the individual mandate.[18]
The shutdown finally ended on October 16, 2013, when the House took a vote on HR 2775 after it was approved by the Senate. The bill to reopen the government lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[19] The House passed the legislation shortly after the Senate, by a vote of 285-144, with all 144 votes against the legislation coming from Republican members. Gosar voted against HR 2775.[20]
Federal Pay Adjustment Act
Gosar voted for HR 273 - Eliminates the 2013 Statutory Pay Adjustment for Federal Employees. The bill passed the House on February 15, 2013, with a vote of 261 - 154. The bill would prevent a 0.5% pay increase for all federal workers from taking effect, saving the federal government $11 billion over 10 years.[21]
Morton Memos Prohibition
Gosar voted for House Amendment 136 - Prohibits the Enforcement of the Immigration Executive Order. The amendment was adopted by the House on June 6, 2013, with a vote of 224 - 201. The purpose of the amendment as stated on the official text is to "prohibit the use of funds to finalize, implement, administer, or enforce the Morton Memos." These memos would have granted administrative amnesty to certain illegal aliens residing in the United States.[22] The vote largely followed party lines.[23]
Health Care Reform Rules
Gosar voted for House Amendment 450 - Requires Congressional Approval for Any Rules Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The amendment was adopted by the House on August 2, 2013, with a vote of 227-185. The amendment requires that all changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act be approved by Congress before taking effect. The vote was largely along party lines.[24]
Social issues
Gosar voted for HR 1797 - Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The resolution passed the House on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 228 - 196 that largely followed party lines. The purpose of the bill is to ban abortions that would take place 20 or more weeks after fertilization.[25]
Previous congressional sessions
Fiscal Cliff
Gosar voted against the fiscal cliff compromise bill, which made permanent most of the Bush tax cuts originally passed in 2001 and 2003 while also raising tax rates on the highest income levels. He was 1 of 151 Republicans that voted against the bill. The bill was passed in the House by a 257 - 167 vote on January 1, 2013.[26]

Collaboration with Ann Kirkpatrick
Gosar teamed up with his former 2010 campaign rival, Ann Kirkpatrick, in order to pass legislation that would allow one of the world's largest undeveloped copper resources to be mined by Resolution Copper Mining Co. The Southeast Arizona Land Exchange and Conservation Act would give 2,400 acres of the Tonto National Forest to the company in exchange for over 5,000 acres of land the company owns throughout the state for conservation.[29]
This is a rare bi-partisan partnership in which two former campaign opponents are both representing their state in the U.S. House and even collaborating to pass a significant bill. Kirkpatrick said the following about the partnership, "We both immediately put aside partisan politics for the needs of the people in the district. We were able to find common ground on something that should never be a partisan issue — jobs." Gosar echoed similar sentiments with his statement, "We were elected to serve our districts, and that demands putting bygones aside. That's what leadership's all about. You develop a thick skin. And once all the chips have been played, you make sure you're working on behalf of Arizona."[29]
Not everyone sees the collaboration as positive. Many environmental groups and American Indian tribes raised concerns about water contamination and the destruction of recreational and religious sites.[29]
Gosar's continued collaboration with Kirkpatrick frustrates some Republican strategists, who think that Gosar is giving Kirkpatrick an opportunity to campaign as a bipartisan figure in the 2014 congressional election. In response to Republican criticism, Gosar's senior adviser, Apryl Marie Fogel, said, "Paul is not interested in playing D.C. politics. Paul is interested in getting bills passed for Arizona. He is going to take the help that's offered, regardless of the letter behind the name."[30]
Campaign themes
Gosar's campaign website lists the following issues:[31]
- Second Amendment
- Excerpt: "As a gun owner and member of the NRA, I have done and will do everything I can to ensure that the federal government does not infringe on the right to bear arms. The right to bear arms is not only enjoyed by millions of Americans for recreation, but our Founders recognized that it was critical to include this right as the Second Amendment to our Constitution in order to allow individuals to protect themselves, their families, and properties."
- Health Care
- Excerpt: "As a health care provider for over twenty-five years and a member of the Doctors Caucus, Gosar has led the charge in the House to reform the health care system and put forth free market solutions to increase access and decrease costs to the consumer."
- Taxes
- Excerpt: "We must work together to restore common sense, no-nonsense values back to Washington before we lose this Republic all together."
- Immigration
- Excerpt: "The Federal Government has completely failed its constitutional, legal and moral duty to secure our borders. As a member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Homeland Defense, and Foreign Operations, Gosar has held the Obama Administration's feet to the fire over its failures to protect the citizens of Arizona and our country"
- Energy
- Excerpt: "Energy independence is a must. It is a matter of national security. Arizona is rich with natural resources and has diverse climates that make our state well-equipped for an energy driven economic recovery."
Gosar is running for re-election to the U.S. House in 2014. He will seek the Republican nomination in the primary election on August 26, 2014. The general election took place November 4, 2014.
Gosar won re-election in the 2012 election for the U.S. House, representing Arizona's 4th District. He defeated Ron Gould and Rick Murphy in the Republican primary on August 28, 2012. He then defeated Johnnie Robinson (D), Joe Pamelia (L) and Richard Grayson (Americans Elect) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[32][33][34]

Even Mainstream Pundits Are Now Saying, Republicans 'No Longer a Normal Governing Party,' 'Unfit for Government'
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Outrage is growing over Republican sabotage of … well, everything.
E. J. Dionne Jr. in the Washington Post, writing in It's our system on the cliff, (emphasis added, for emphasis)
The United States faces a crisis in our political system because the Republican Party, particularly in the House of Representatives, is no longer a normal, governing party.
The only way we will avoid a constitutional crackup is for a new, bipartisan majority to take effective control of the House and isolate those who would rather see the country fall into chaos than vote for anything that might offend their ideological sensibilities.
Michael Tomasky at The Daily Beast, in The GOP Brings Politics to a Crisis Point,
Really, what is to be done about this Republican Party? What force can change it—can stop Republicans from being ideological saboteurs and convert at least a workable minority of them into people interested in governing rather than sabotage? … They are a direct threat to the economy, which could slip back into recession next year if the government doesn't, well, govern. They are an ongoing, at this point almost mundane, threat to democracy, subverting and preventing progress the American people clearly desire across a number of fronts. They have to be stopped, and the only people who can really stop them are corporate titans and Wall Streeters, who surely now are finally beginning to see that America's problem is not Barack Obama and his alleged "socialism," but a political party that has become psychologically incapable of operating within the American political system.
[. . . They didn't come to Washington to govern. They came to sabotage. So our working assumption must be whatever the issue, sabotage is what they're going to do.
Andrew Sullivan, also at The Daily Beast, says Enough!, (emphasis added, for emphasis)
Between the humiliating and chaotic collapse of Speaker Boehner's already ludicrously extreme Plan B and Wayne La Pierre's deranged proposal to put government agents in schools with guns, the Republican slide into total epistemic closure and political marginalization has now become a free-fall. This party, not to mince words, is unfit for government.
[. . .] Enough. This faction and its unhinged fanaticism has no place in any advanced democracy. They must be broken. … We need a new governing coalition in the House – Democrats and those few sane Republicans willing to put country before ideology. But even that may be impossible.
Mark McKinnon, also at The Deaily Beast, All I Want for Christmas Is a New GOP, (emphasis added, for emphasis)
But here's the deeper point and the bigger problem for the GOP. Increasingly, it is becoming clear that the party is against everything and for nothing.
Nothing on taxes. Nothing on gun control. Nothing on climate change. Nothing on gay marriage. Nothing on immigration reform (or an incremental, piece-by-piece approach, which will result in nothing). It's a very odd situation when the losing party is the party refusing to negotiate. It may be how you disrupt, but it is not how you govern, or how you ever hope to regain a majority.
And so, we have a Republican Party today willing to eliminate any prospect for a decent future for anyone, including itself, if it cannot be a future that is 100 percent in accordance with its core beliefs and principles. That's not governing. That's just lobbing hand grenades. If you're only standing on principle to appear taller, then you appear smaller. And the GOP is shrinking daily before our eyes.

Charles: To suggest that, because of the closeness of the Franken/Coleman senate race in Minnesota, a runoff election be held, is an admission of the fallacy that "every vote counts." This same problem arose in New Hampshire a few years back. Recounts kept producing a different outcome, and so the state held another election to resolve the matter. When candidate "X" wins by 23 votes and, in the next recount, candidate "Y" prevails by 16 votes, there is no way – at least in major races – that one person's vote will determine the final outcome. I have heard mathematicians state that the recounting of ballots – where hundreds of thousands have cast votes – will never produce the same numbers as before. Thus, an election in which one candidate gets 567,456 votes and his opponent garners only 567,455, will be too indeterminate for the political system.
With the exception of a mayor's race in Mud Flats, Kansas, I am still awaiting being informed of any large-scale election (e.g., presidential, gubernatorial, senate or congressional race, etc.) in which the outcome was decided by one vote. This news may provide environmentalists with an incentive to stay home on election day, and stop wasting energy by driving to the polls.10:45 pm on January 3, 2009 Email Butler Shaffer

Bozeman - The historic Gallatin Gateway Inn shut its doors on Sunday.
The front doors are padlocked and a sign states the inn is closed until further notice.
On Sunday, a message on the hotel's Facebook page said, 'Thank you to all the employees that have worked with us through the years, for all the good times. We are so sorry about all our fun time coming to can end. Thank you again!!'
The sudden closure generated dozens of comments, with many people asking why the hotel is closing its doors. In response, a comment on the inn's Facebook page stated that an official statement will be released Monday evening.
According to Wikipedia, the inn is one of the "Historic Inns of America." It opened on June 18, 1927 and was built by the Milwaukee Road.

KEY COLOR NOTES What makes this blond so unique is the layers of dimensional color: A base of toffee blond is accented with ribbons of caramel and straw. We love this treatment for women who were towheads as children and are reticent to admit they're now light brunets. It also looks great on fair complected beauties with a pinkish hint in their skin; those with yellow notes can look too tone-on-tone.

Microsoft Hit by Open Source and Lawmakers
Microsoft had to report a 30% slump in sales for the last quarter. Their report to the U.S. SEC includes a rundown of their risk and competition factors. Among their concerns are Linux and open source untertakings, but also their own partners HP and Intel.
Part of Microsoft's nervousness is Apple's growing share in the U.S. market, but Linux is also taking a bite. Their Form 10-K submission to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission quotes their concern: "The Linux operating system [...] is available without payment under a General Public License, [and] has gained some acceptance, especially in emerging markets, as competitive pressures lead OEMs to reduce costs and new, lower-price PC form-factors gain adoption." They call out Red Hat and Canonical as competition in a number of categories and mention that even smaller open source enterprises and community projects have endangered their "money for software licenses" model. Add to that other threatening activity: "Partners such as Hewlett-Packard and Intel have been actively working with alternative Linux-based operating systems."
The Redmond giant also sees itself in a defensive stance with mobile devices in that consumers are migrating to them from conventional PCs. The market share of Internet Explorer is being continuously eroded by browsers from Apple, Mozilla and Opera, but especially Google: "OEMs have been working to make the Google Android mobile operating system more compatible with small form-factor PCs or netbooks."
Microsoft's declaration of principles on intellectual property issues vis a vis open source also came into play. One statement didn't leave much to the imagination in light of recent patent issues. Quote: "Certain 'open source' software business models challenge our license-based software model. [...] These firms do not bear the full costs of research and development for the software. Some of these firms may build upon Microsoft ideas that we provide to them free or at low royalties in connection with our interoperability initiatives."
Microsoft also attributes the first ever breach in their sales history to software piracy, the European Commission, U.S. anti-trust laws and lawmakers in general.
One statement should give software patent activists such as the Free Software Foundation pause: "Similarly, the absence of harmonized patent laws makes it more difficult to ensure consistent respect for patent rights." The FSFE has been warning at regular intervals that software patents could start making their way into Europe in the guise of "harmonization."
Microsoft takes a HITwell, the Monopoly Meister still exists, but the competition is also there.
Free, Stable and Able has always won out over being Told to repeat after me " the party line". "we Love Microsoft.. yeaaahs.. we LOVE microsoft. It's Better than every one else.. YEeeash.. its stable.. Internet Explorer is the Best Browser.. yeeeasshh.. Linux called their Hand and Microsoft has lost this one.
Microsoft could keep its strangle hold on the Computer market it they would listen to what people want.. Let has have a little freedom.. and stop pushing.. we want change to what we really need, and stop Forcing a New OS every 2 years.. which requires BIG money to get new hardware and new software, each time.
Close up your RIGHTS in the system.. so that any Tom Dick and Harry with a little code cant reach in and foul every thing up.
Any one stop to think about that? Linux is not Virus free because its obscure.. its virus free because it's Locked down.. make it nearly impossible to GET virused.
Maybe, Just Maybe.. Microsoft will learn a bit on this.. and Give us some thing We actually Wanted.
Microsoft Hit by Open Source and Lawmakers"Microsoft had to report a 30% slump in sales for the last quarter."
Hahahahaha.. long live Linux!

January 31, 2000. The electronic newsletter of the University Library, University of South Alabama, published irregularly as a service to the University Community.
Whither Libraries?
Dr. Richard Wood, Library Director
Will university libraries cease to exist in the next millennium? The answer I most frequently give to this question is that university libraries will play an increasingly important role on campus over the decades ahead for several reasons. (1) There are more books, journal subscriptions, and documents that are not available electronically to purchase than ever before. Books will continue to be an essential resource for faculty and students for decades because paper is still the preferred format for fiction and most non-fiction. (2) The library's role in ordering electronic databases and media is a relatively new, additional responsibility. (3) The library's instructional role has been expanding and now includes not only the use of traditional reference tools such as indexes and encyclopedias, but also use of the web-based tools and search engines. Journals articles, directories, handbooks, catalogs, and other reference sources are increasingly made available through the world-wide-web. Finally, (4) the library will continue to become the primary manager of all common information resources, print, audio, visual, electronic, or microform, databases and licenses on most campuses.
Thus, those who have predicted the demise of the book by now or in the near future are simply wrong, except for particular categories of materials. Many reference, scientific, technical, and medical sources, for instance, are only available in electronic format. That trend will continue. Meanwhile, Barnes and Noble and other bookstores will continue to prosper along with database producers and Amazon.com because all of these information sources are essential commodities. Even microfilm continues to be the preferred format for preservation despite advances in digitization.
In summary, the demise of the book might seem to be inevitable due to web access of a rapidly growing number of information sources, but this does not mean the death of books. For example, journals and web accessible databases that did not exist even five years ago, are now accessible electronically through USA's campus area network. Most students love the ease of access and nearly instantaneous ability to get articles, often without needing to visit the library. This is certainly the trend as database vendors contract with USA University Libraries. But almost none of the non-reference books the libraries purchase are, or will ever be digitized and available through the web because, in part, it is not economical for publishers to do so. Paper will be the preferred format for fiction and general non-fiction for many years. To conclude, University Libraries will continue not only to acquire printed books and journals for decades, but also increase access to electronic databases through the web.

Title I Schools Notification
To Parents/Guardians of Students at Seaside Middle / Los Arboles / Ord Terrace/ Crumpton / DRW/ Marina Vista / King / Highland:
Your child is attending a school receiving Title I federal funds through the No Child Left Behind Act (in English, referred to as NCLB). This Federal law requires that parents be notified of their right to know the professional qualifications of their child's teacher(s) in core academic subject areas, including the following:
1. The type of state credential or license that the teacher holds. Some teachers will have a credential in a particular subject area, such as English or mathematics, and others will have a multiple subject credential, which allows them to teach a variety of subjects, such as in elementary schools.
2. The education level and subject area of the teacher's college degree(s). All teachers have a bachelor's degree, and many teachers have graduate degrees beyond the bachelor's, such as a masters or doctoral degree.
In addition to the qualifications of the teacher, if a paraprofessional (teacher's aide) provides your child services, you may also request information about his or her qualifications. Many paraprofessionals have two years of college, and others have passed a test that verifies their qualifications.
If you would like this information, please contact Dr. Michael Bachicha at 831-392-3936.
Thank you.

Spiritual medium James Van Praagh, who is known for receiving communications from the dead and presenting them to the living, is more than just a messenger.
"In some ways I am a medium, a minister and a psychologist," said Van Praagh, who will appear on Nov. 8 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet. "I am sensitive to people's needs. I feel that people should have an understanding before I give them a message."
As such, Van Praagh takes particular care in his stage presentation to inform the audience of the process.
"In the show I quickly give my background — explaining that I could see spirits as a child," Van Praagh said. "Then we have a brief meditation, to bring the energy of the people together. Then I share with them the process, to let them know how it works."
Only after explaining the medium process does Van Praagh start to work bringing messages to people in the audience.
"I work with half a dozen to a dozen people in a show," he said. "It may be that someone wants to see their dead son, but the spirit world might have a different idea.
"I may only work with a few people in each show," he continued, "but it affects the whole audience. Everyone can relate to forgiveness or to losing somebody."
Van Praagh has been helping people relate to the deceased for more than 30 years. He introduced the world to mediumship when he was the first medium on NBC-TV's daytime television show "The Other Side" in 1994. Since then, he has appeared on numerous radio and television shows including "Oprah," "Larry King Live," "Dr. Phil," "Nightline," "The View," and "The Today Show," among others. Van Praagh also hosted a short-lived paranormal talk show called "Beyond with James Van Praagh," and he co-created and produced the TV series, "Ghost Whisperer," starring Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Van Praagh is the author of the books "Talking to Heaven," "Healing Grief," "Heaven and Earth," "Looking Beyond," "Ghosts Among Us," "Unfinished Business" and "Growing Up In Heaven," among others.
"I was the first medium on TV; the first one to open the door," Van Praagh said. "Being a medium is much more acceptable than it used to be."
And for people who may be skeptical of his work, Van Praagh thinks it is just a matter of educating them.
"If a cynical person sees the show, they leave uncynical," he said. "It's just their way of thinking. I have to teach them. If you are closed-minded, you close yourself off to many experiences."
Over the years, Van Praagh's messages have brought solace, peace and spiritual insights, and have changed the views of many people regarding life and death.
"I work with those who need healing from the spirit side of life," he said. "My work gives spirits the opportunity to do that. I don't work for the living. I work for the dead."

Victorian Ingenuity: Ivory Link Bracelet
The Grand Period in Victorian jewelry from about 1870 - 1890 had opposing aesthetics - the use of organic materials and an upsurge in fine diamond jewelry.
Each link of this natural ivory bracelet has been individually hand carved and then assembled to form a chain link bracelet. Ingeniously designed and constructed, the bracelet can adjust to any wrist size. The weight of the orb tightens down the links to conform to the circumference of any wrist.
Date: Circa 1870.
Measurements: 10-1/2 inches (27 cm) in total length. Chain and circle clasp are 9-3/8 inches (23.5 cm) in length. Orb is 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Links are 9/16 of an inch (1.5 cm) in width. Weight of 31.8 grams (20.4 dwt).
Condition: Excellent; in some areas light mellowing of the ivory color is typical of age.
Origin: Most likely English in origin.

Terence Tao has an interesting post on why many-worlds quantum theory is like Tomb Raider. I think it's de Broglie-Bohm theory that is more like Tomb Raider though, as you can see from the comments.

I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system.Barbara Levy Boxer
God willing, we shall come to a stage where the world looks at the Palestinian question, and Palestinian rights on Palestinian national soil, as well as the questions of the occupied Syrian and Lebanese territories. These are the bases on which peace will be built.King Hussein I
The security of our world is found in the advancing rights of mankind.George Walker Bush
Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.Martin Luther King Jr
We have always cared more about property rights than human rights in this country. You should know that.John Kilian Houston Brunner
The fears of one class of men are not the measure of the rights of another.George Bancroft
If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final.John Calvin Coolidge Jr.
"Freedom from fear" could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.Dag Hammarskjld
A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.Napoleon Bonaparte
I wouldn't go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.Smedley Darlington Butler
True democracy makes no enquiry about the color of skin, or the place of nativity, whereever it sees man, it recognizes a being endowed by his Creator with original inalienable rights.Salmon Portland Chase
We have already found a high degree of personal liberty, and we are now struggling to enhance equality of opportunity. Our commitment to human rights must be absolute, our laws fair, our natural beauty preserved; the powerful must not persecute the weak, and human dignity must be enhanced.James Earl Carter, Jr.
Human rights is the soul of our foreign policy, because human rights is the very soul of our sense of nationhood.James Earl Carter, Jr.
Prejudice and passion and suspicion are more dangerous than the incitement of self-interest or the most stubborn adherence to real differences of opinion regarding rights.Elihu Root
If democracy is destroyed in Britain it will be not the communists, Trotskyists or subversives but this House which threw it away. The rights that are entrusted to us are not for us to give away. Even if I agree with everything that is proposed, I cannot hand away powers lent to me for five years by the people of Chesterfield. I just could not do it. It would be theft of public rights.Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
For a successful revolution it is not enough that there is discontent. What is required is a profound and thorough conviction of the justice, necessity and importance of political and social rights.B. R. Ambedkar
The Declaration of Independence states that all men are created equal, and in 1776, that's exactly what they meant. Women could not vote, women could not own property, and blacks were considered property. After 200 years of enlightenment, we have realized that gender and race are inappropriate distinctions for determining who has individual rights. Anytime Gov gives you permission they let you know that you have permission by giving you a permit or a license. If you have a marriage license, what permission do you have to do now that you did not have permission to do before, who gave you that permission, and who gave them the authority to give you that permission in the first place?Michael J. Badnarik
Whenever there is a conflict between human rights and property rights, human rights must prevail.Abraham Lincoln
Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not only the political unacceptability of Israel's Occupation which makes the call for sanction urgent and obligatory, it is the massive violations of Palestinian human rights, of international law and of numerous UN resolutions that the Occupation entails. If Israel as the Occupying Power is not held accountable for the intolerable situation within its ability, indeed, within its responsibility to end, the entire international system of justice is rendered meaningless and empty. And that is what makes the Occupation an international issue. If Israel succeeds in defying the Fourth Geneva Convention and making its Occupation permanent, if an entire population is literally locked behind walls and its right of self-determination trampled, then the ability of human rights to win out over an international order founded on power politics and militarism is jeopardized. We all have a stake in ending the Occupation.Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
I have tried to impress on the PLO leadership, and every Palestinian or Arab I have met, that the quest for a protector in the White House is a complete chimera, since all recent presidents have been devoted to Zionist aims, and that the only way to change US policy is through a mass campaign on behalf of Palestinian human rights, out-flanking the Zionist establishment and going straight to the American people. Uninformed and yet open to appeals for justice as they are, Americans are capable of reacting as they did to the ANC campaign against apartheid, which finally changed the balance of forces inside South Africa.Edward Said
Muslim delegates concerned about rights in Palestine could have brought their enthusiasm closer to home by addressing the fate of black Christians being slaughtered and enslaved in the Sudan.Jack Schwartz
I heard an Israeli speaking on Palestinian human rights issues, an interesting guy, and he said "There's no military solution to terrorism. If there were, Israel would be the safest place in the world. But there's no military solution."Bradley Whitford
No man forgets his original trade: the rights of nations and of kings sink into questions of grammar, if grammarians discuss them.Samuel Johnson

IRS actions should concern and frighten everyone
I happened to catch some of the testimony given to Congress concerning the IRS targeting Tea Party members and other conservative groups who wanted tax exempt status. I have never been so afraid of our government. That such a scary and powerful agency like the IRS can be used as a weapon by a political party should frighten every American. Remember the IRS can cause a person unbelievable problems and even put you in jail! The left-leaning press and many Democratic leaders in Washington have successfully labeled Tea Party members and other conservatives as total wackos that should be shunned. I am more sure than ever that Tea Party people are the most normal of American citizens who just happen to care about the constitution and are afraid of the ever growing government.
Big governments throughout history always mean decreased liberty for its citizens. I also agree with the views of those who say the IRS was acting this way due to a culture of "attack your political enemies with whatever it takes to win" mentality. People forget all this was happening around a presidential election. Many donations that could have gone to the Republican cause were stymied by the IRS. Add this with the lies about Mitt Romney never paying taxes and he must be evil because he is successful makes his loss all the more devious. I just hope left-leaning Americans can have the clear thinking and forethought to put the shoe on the other foot. What if it was a Republican administration in office and the IRS was shutting down left-leaning causes or causing trouble for the huge donations to Democrats by unions. I think if that were the case we would be hearing a lot more about it in the media and hearing the word impeachment screamed from the hilltops.

Gary mayor should not give up airport for Republicans
Please Gary Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, don't give away our airport to the Republicans. They do not give a damn about Gary or its people. They want to take over our airport, but never tried to help get it going. It if wasn't for Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, Gary would have lost the airport. Now they see the airport will be worth more, and hire more people, than anything they have. Please do not let the governor have any appointee on the board, and don't give him veto power. I know you are smarter than that, at least I hope you are. Charlie Brown seems to be the only one who knows what the governor and the Republicans are trying to do.
Maybe the people of Gary voted for the wrong person. One who wants to give our airport to a bunch of Tea Party racists. The Republican governors have never cared about Northwest Indiana, especially Gary. And what the mayor said about Charlie Brown representing his constituents — that's what he is supposed to do. We are your constituents. Do you represent us or the governor?

Did you know that your gadget likes art as much as you? It's true. We've been talking to
your phone and it told us that all it really wants is to be fully decked out in one of the
zillions of amazingly unique designs from Redbubble's brilliant artists. So thanks to our cases
and skins we've got a few ways for you to appease your tech friend and hold off the inevitable
device-driven overthrow of humanity for at least another year.

toughest cases to protect your most precious of daily devices from getting hurt. Our cases come
in either a Snap or Tough variation and are constructed from the finest Amorphous Polymer, which

your skinny jeans. We know how important that is. The Tough is a clip-on case with a unique
inner silicon absorbing sleeve to take the stress from a drop. Ideal for people who lead rough or
accident prone lifestyles (or just like to sound dangerous).
We currently offer the snap & tough for the following styles:
We're not sure if you know this, but your phones, tablets, and laptops are very bashful.
And the fact that you insist on trotting them around town in their birthday suits is so embarrassing
for them. So why not clothe them while simultaneously protecting them from scratches and gut-wrenching
humiliation with one of Redbubble's new skins?
Each scratch-resistant, custom cut, vinyl skin is easy to apply and features mind-melting colours,
eye-popping designs, and the opportunity to express your unique sense of individuality and all the reasons

Maryland Transit Administration recording conversations on buses
Updated On: Oct 19 2012 10:47:24 AM EDT
What did you say?
The Maryland Transit Administration is recording conversations between bus drivers and passengers in what critics are calling a privacy violation.
The Baltimore Sun reported that audio recording began on 10 buses in Baltimore this week. The agency plans to expand the program to half its fleet by next summer.
MTA buses already have video cameras. The state attorney general's office said the addition of audio doesn't violate Maryland's wiretapping law. Signs on the buses tell riders they are being recorded.
But the American Civil Liberties Union said bus riders shouldn't have to sacrifice their privacy rights. Montgomery County Sen. Brian Frosh, D-District 16, said the General Assembly will likely set standards for oversight and accountability.
The MTA runs local buses in the Baltimore-Washington area and commuter routes serving outlying communities.

LCD Monitor Mount for Microphone Stands
Rugged mount allows attachment of small LCD video monitors to the top of microphone stands. Great for PC controlled equipment on the stage or in the studio. The mounting plate swivels 250° and is VESA 75 x 75 and 100 x 100 compatible.
Note: This mount requires a 3/8" to 5/8" adaptor for use with most standard mic stands.
I mounted a 12lb computer monitor on this mic stand adapter and it failed miserably because it won't hold it up. Not even close to holding it up, just falls down even with trying to tighten it as much as possible. The spec say max 11 lbs so I guess I can't complain, It was cheap. They should make this item with a better tightener. Uses the same type as for a microphone or sheet music holder. So you get the idea.
It is nice but what I ordered it for was to mount a clipboard to it and use it to hold scratch Lyrics in the studio. The heavy round bottom of a mic stand is sturdy and less prone to be bumped into and over in the studio than a light weight music stand. And it is sturdy enough that I can reach over and write on the paper without having to steady a music stand.
This thing is awesome, certainly a welcome addition for my mobile recording gig. I can set a small display anywhere a mic stand will fit. It fits a simple need, cue or teleprompter, this is it. On stage or set behind your mixer. I am buying a few more of these!

|Hi all,
My wife and I are planning on buying a house in or near Clinton in the next couple of months, so its time to start pre-planning for my greenhouse. I'm expecting to get a place with at least a quarter acre of land, and am looking for suggestions on what type of greenhouse to build and the cheapest way to heat it. I'm looking to have year-round fresh fruits (tomatoes) and vegetables (salad lettuces, carrots, etc.), as well as some ornamental plants. I'm considering a small pond within the greenhouse, and a small hot tub if I can fit/afford it. We're new to the area (and this will be my first greenhouse), so I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of planting conditions here. From what I've read so far, it seems like hoophouses are the best way to go to keep costs down, and the larger the better.

|Josh, welcome to our part of the country. I live in Joplin and have a hobby greenhouse. Your plans sound fabulous, and I'm sure you will enjoy the whole experience. Bring lots of $$$ for winter heat, though, unless you have a small wood stove.
GardenWeb has a Greenhouse & Structures forum which has knowledgeable people with all kinds of greenhouses. Do a search on hoop houses there and you will get all sorts of ideas on set-up, heating, etc. I like the idea of a pond in there and hopefully, some fish. You can use the water from it beneficially.
Good luck!

|Welcome Josh!
I don't have any experience with greenhouses, but the forum Sunny suggested has a wealth of information.
I'll link it below. There are two search features. The one about 3/4 of the way down will search just the Greenhouse forum. The one closer to the bottom will search all of Gardenweb. Best of luck.

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (7/8/14) — Madisonville-Hopkins County Chamber held a ribbon cutting for the newest member Marco's Pizza Tuesday, July 8.
Marco's Pizza founder Pasquale "Pat" Giammarco moved to the U.S. from Italy when he was 9 years old, and grew up working in his family's pizzeria. Later, he got on board in making high-quality pizza by using a secret sauce recipe he developed and refined with his father.
Marco's focuses on three key areas — dough, sauce and cheese. The dough is made fresh daily, the sauce is blended with imported spices and three types of vine-ripened tomatoes and it's topped with an exclusive mix of three fresh cheeses.
Today, there are 450 Marco's Pizza stores in 34 states and the Bahamas. Marco's menu has also grown over the years to include hot sub sandwiches, salads and Cheezybread for carryout or delivery.
Marco's Pizza is located on 17 E. Arch St.For more information, visit https://www.marcosorder.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/MarcosPizza.
