The Civic Federation gets it right in a report due out Thursday when it points out a failure by the Chicago Public Schools to detail a plan for cutting Chicago teacher pension costs.
Top CPS officials and the mayor, especially in the last few months, have uttered the phrase "pension reform" innumerable times, citing it as the main solution to Chicago's budget woes. After a three-year partial pension holiday, CPS' pension bill goes up by $404 million this year.
But Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and her top lieutenants never spell out publicly what reform they want the state legislature, which sets pension benefits, to pass — raise the retirement age? lower retiree cost-of-living increases? increase employee contributions?
Mayor Rahm Emanuel went to Springfield in May 2012 and laid out an aggressive and detailed pension-cutting plan for all city unions, including CPS. But in the last year, those details have rarely been discussed publicly by CPS, which he controls.
For this omission, CPS gets a big rap on the knuckles by Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, a non-partisan government research group, in its analysis of CPS' proposed 2014 budget, which is up for a vote next week.
"The [school] district knew this budget crisis was coming and should have been aggressively advocating for their own pension reform proposal," Msall said in a news release. "Silence on these critical issues is a grave disservice to the district's students, parents, teachers and taxpayers."
We support pension cost-cutting as strongly as Msall does — a bitter pill for teachers but an absolutely essential one for the long-term financial health of the school system and pension fund itself.
But we don't share the Civic Federation's enthusiasm for severe knuckle-rapping.
Emanuel and CPS want pension reform desperately — but apparently they think the best strategy is to work behind the scenes rather than to make themselves vulnerable to attacks by the Chicago Teachers Unions by laying out a detailed cost-cutting plan.
There's logic to that approach.
The leadership in Springfield has long made it clear it wants to first reform the state retirement systems, including for teachers outside Chicago. The hope is to get that passed and then, in short order, apply the same or a similar model to CPS and other city unions. If the state cuts pensions for some teachers, the argument will be, it should cut them for all.
From CPS' perspective, there is little to be gained — and much to be lost — to be out front calling for severe cuts to pensions, particularly in a turbulent and contentious year that included a teachers strike and a vote to close 49 elementary schools and one high school program.
Moreover, CPS has for the last year been trying to negotiate a pension bill with the teachers union. That has produced little, but talk of a detailed pension-cutting plan outside the negotiations certainly wouldn't have helped.
This strategy, of course, relies on getting the state Legislature to act — and the mayor and CPS should be doing far more to win over legislators.
As lawmakers dawdle, CPS makes severe cuts to staff and programs across the city.
As lawmakers dawdle, CPS does damage to schools and children it may never be able to reverse.
A strategy to pass pension is in place, as is clear evidence of a pressing need to lower pension costs.
All that's left is for the Legislature to act.

Ottawa city commissioners unanimously approved a fundraising plan at their meeting Wednesday night to help establish and maintain a dog park in Ottawa.
A group of community members who want a dog park in the city are proposing that when pet owners renew their annual dog licenses in January they could receive a tag shaped like a bone for an additional $5, Wynndee Lee, the city's director of planning and codes administration, told commissioners. Those additional funds would go to the dog park project.
The city licenses about 750 dogs annually, city staff estimated at a recent study session. Dog owners who do not want to make a donation would receive the conventional small, round-shaped tag, Lee said.
The city's current license fee for neutered/spayed dogs is $5 and $15 for canines that have not been neutered or spayed.
Cathy Sutton of Sutton's Jewelry, 207 S. Main St., Ottawa, a proponent of the dog park, has offered to engrave the tags with the dog's name and the owner's address and phone number for an additional $5, Lee said. That engraving fee also would benefit the dog park project, she said.
The owner of a neutered dog, for example, could pay $10 and receive a bone-shaped tag, or $15 and get an engraved, bone-shaped tag, Lee told commissioners.
City staff have been working with a group of community members who would like to establish a dog park in Ottawa, Lee told commissioners at a recent study session. The group has not identified a site for the dog park as of yet, Lee said Wednesday night, but the park's boosters are working in partnership with Prairie Paws Animal Shelter, 3173 K-68, Ottawa.
Prairie Paws representatives had estimated the fencing and other costs associated with starting a dog park could total $20,000 to $25,000 — depending on the size of the park, Lee said at a recent study session.
While the tag fundraiser would not cover all the expenses associated with a dog park, Lee said, those additional funds would help offset the park's costs.
Commissioners said they thought a dog park was needed in the community, and they liked the idea of establishing the fundraiser.

Addictions (Graduate Certificate)
Other Information
- Admission requirements
- Program details
- Course descriptions
- Internship information
Department: Community Psychology, Counseling and Family Therapy
Graduate Director:
Dr. Barb Vesely firstname.lastname@example.com
Program Location
This graduate certificate is offered on-campus and is also available for completion on-line.
Program Overview
- This graduate certificate program provides academic and experiential training intended to prepare persons in counseling for chemical dependency counselor licensure.
- Our curriculum prepares you for the Minnesota License Alcohol and Drug (MLADC) comprehensive examination and to become credentialed as a Board Certified Counselor (BCC).
- Prospective students should study additional details and forms on the LADC license process.
Admission Information
- Careful attention will be given to previous work experience, academic background, scholarship, interpersonal skills, and commitment to the field of addictions.
- Applications are reviewed once a year for a fall semester start.
Gainful Employment
Certain undergraduate and graduate certificates at St. Cloud State University prepare students for employment in specific fields and do not result in a degree. Federal law requires publication of data associated with those programs of study, including approximate program costs, program length, and employment statistics. The Minnesota State Colleges and University's (MnSCU) Chancellor's office has provided this report containing the aforementioned information for all required programs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have personal experience with chemical dependency or treatment to become an addiction counselor?
No. The science and practice of counseling individuals and groups who are affected by addiction requires advanced education and training in counseling and in understanding addiction and treatment. Personal experience with substance abuse, chemical addiction, or treatment does not make a person more qualified to effectively counsel individuals affected by chemical addiction than a person without personal experience.
Can I work as an addiction counselor if I have been treated for chemical dependency?
Yes. Agencies and clinics require at least two year's sobriety prior to placement in an internship and prior to hiring. All applicants seeking state licensure are required to sign a statement verifying a minimum of two year's sobriety. The state of Minnesota may deny, suspend, or revoke a license if an individual has "habitually overindulged in the use of or the dependence on alcohol within the past two years" and/or has engaged in the illegal use of any controlled substance within the past two years.
Applicants to SCSU's chemical addiction certificate program must provide written verification of one year of abstinence from drugs if chemically dependent and in recovery.
How will an addiction counseling certificate help me in a counseling career?
Most counselors will have clients who have problems related to chemical addiction during their career, and therefore could benefit from advanced education and training in this area.
Does the certificate meet Minnesota Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counseling (LADC) requirements?
Yes. The certificate program is approved by the Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (MnBBHT), which is the state agency responsible for licensing addiction counselors. The program provides academic and supervised, experiential training intended to prepare individuals for the Minnesota LADC licensure examination.
Where do I apply for licensure?
The Minnesota Board of Behavioral Health and Therapy (MnBBHT) http://www.bbht.state.mn.us/
Can credits I've earned elsewhere be applied to the certificate program at SCSU?
Maybe. With approval of program faculty, it is possible that some credits from previous coursework might apply to prerequisite or Addiction Counseling certificate core courses. It is important to meet with a program advisor to determine which, if any, previously earned credits may be applied to the certificate program requirements.
Can my previous work or volunteer experience count toward certificate requirements?
No. Students are required to complete all prerequisite and core courses, and the supervised internship.
Why is it important that I apply for admission to the graduate program?
Several requirements must be met for a student to be admitted to the certificate program. It is not possible to earn the certificate without being admitted to the program. The list of requirements is available in the Graduate Catalog.
Do I have to take the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) and obtain a certain score to be considered for admission to the certificate program?
No. The GRE is not required for the Addiction Counseling certificate program.
How long does it take to complete the program?
It depends. Full time students who have completed all the prerequisite courses could complete the core courses in 1-2 semesters, and the internship in 2 semesters, for a total of 3-4 semesters. Part time students, students who need to complete prerequisite courses or students with other extenuating circumstances would need more than three semesters to complete the program.
Can I include the certificate in a Master's degree program?
Yes. Many students include Chemical Addiction certificate coursework in their Master's program.
Do I have to take the courses in a specific order?
No. Courses can be taken in any order, but all courses must be completed before the internship can begin.
Where can I learn more about careers associated with this certificate?
Mental Health Counselor career information is available at http://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/21-1014.00
Substance Abuse and Behavioral Disorder Counselor career information is available at http://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/21-1011.00
State job postings can be found at https://statejobs.doer.state.mn.us/JobPosting
Are there professional organizations of chemical addiction counselors?
Yes. The nation's largest professional organization is the National Association of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Counselors (NAADAC). The association's web address is http://www.naadac.org/ The Minnesota Division of NAADAC is at http://www.naadac.org/component/staff/?StateID=MN

George Washington: No Torture on My Watch
Posted by PowerToThePeople
"Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country."
- George Washington, charge to the Northern Expeditionary Force, Sept. 14, 1775
It seems that after the battle, the Continentals were preparing to run some of the British Empire's German mercenaries through what they called the "gauntlet." General Washington discovered this and intervened... Washington then issued an order to his troops regarding prisoners of war:
'Treat them with humanity, and let them have no reason to complain of our copying the brutal example of the British Army in their treatment of our unfortunate brethren who have fallen into their hands,' he wrote. In all respects the prisoners were to be treated no worse than American soldiers; and in some respects, better. Through this approach, Washington sought to shame his British adversaries, and to demonstrate the moral superiority of the American cause.
In the worst of times - when foreign troops literally occupied American soil, torturing and murdering American patriots - and few believed that the cause of the revolution could ultimately win against the might of the British Empire, the first Commander in Chief of the U.S.A. set the precedent that this society is to lead even our enemies by "benignant sympathy of [our] example." To win the war against the occupying army of Redcoats, the American revolutionaries needed right on their side.
And it worked. Many of the German Hessians in fact joined the revolutionaries in their fight against the English and stayed here in America to be free when the war was won.
From [thestressblog.com]
"When they say there's not enough money, they mean there's not enough money for YOU." - Jill Stein, Green Party presidential nominee.
I would like to comment, the definition of torture was limited to physical abuse then, if tortur ewas defined at all.
The fact physical abuse occurred at all is an embarrasment enough for the US, but I don't think that mental stress and/or humilitation is abuse. Now, is it disrespectful?...yeah, and doesn't have any good reason to occur, but inhumane...NO.
Any physical abuse rightfully should be prosecuted to the fullest extent directly to the top of the chain-of-command(which includes SECDEF, and CIC).
Any other mental stress/physicial humilitation and disrespect should be punished if neccessary via the UCMJ according to NJP if appropriate. Take some rank, and dock some pay...that should fix the problem as far as the military is concerned.
However, the contractors...that is a different story, or those whom work for different government agencies and the UCMJ isn't as strongly enforced even though it is federal law civilians are subject to follow in certain circumstances.
Does being deprived of sleep for days count as torture? Chained squatting on your haunches? Waterboarding? Wrists chained to the wall and subjected to loud music for days? Threatened with vicious dogs? Screamed at for days without pause, your tormentors working in shifts? Anal penetration? Thrown into a pitch dark cell for days to await the next round of "enhanced interrogation?"
Would George Washington have found these acts to "demonstrate the moral superiority of the American cause?"
gw - should we care what he thought? he sold out the country by signing the law that brought us the first bank of the united states (think private banking controlling money creation, like the federal reserve). the bank of england's policies are what started the revolutionary war.....they didnt like the colonies creating their own debt free money -
the first bank ruined the country within a short time -- which lead to the americans revolting against it....which brought us the war of 1812.....which ended with the creation of the second bank of the united states (so we lost the war of 1812).....which lasted until andrew jackson courageously put it down (he survived assassination attempts during the process).
we are now on the third bank of the united states (the fed). jfk was our last jackson (until ron paul)...
others that died fighting this fight - huey long, garfield, mckinley, louis mcfadden
Torture doesn't work. That's the first point. Secondly, it's a reflection of the person (or country) inflicting the torture. Why would you want to put someone in a stress position? Are you that small of a person that you feel you need to demonstrate your "superiority" by belittling or inflicting pain on someone you have already conquered? When DICK Cheney said "we might have to go to the dark side" - why didn't the person interviewing him ask the obvious question... why? Are you a dark person, DICK? Do you get some kind of twisted thrill out of inflicting pain? Why would the veep - a guy who has absolutely no contact with the enemy - be even suggesting such a thing? Because he was obviously one incredibly sick person. And anyone who agrees with him is also mentally ill. They need to get help.
It was far more complicated than that, tx. The prosperity of the American colonies was a temporary one based on Government credit with no asset backing. It was a bubble that would burst. Further, the comparison that Franklin dre was invalid. Britain incurred huge debts fighting the European powers that would have taken you over. America contributes almost nothing to that cost.
Aslo, the colonies actually ignored the British edict and continued to print paper money. Interestingly, that was the right path and one that Britain later followed BUT asset backed.
Your follow up about the war of 1812 is silly.
At the Scopes Monkey Trial, Clarence Darrow gave a brilliant speech, but the cynical journalist H.L. Mencken told him "You may as well have shouted it up a waterspout in Outer Mongolia for all the effect it will have on your listeners ..
Ditto here.
Eliot Spitzer has shown great interest.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
President Eisenhower
Like Cheney hiding in a bunker duh.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

If you want a kecleon you might wanna have a registeel, since kecleons are level 90 if you
steal from them. Registeel is best for battling them. Have a friend bow, apples/gummi, and oran berrys if your pokemon isnt level 90 or 100 and some One-Room Orbs. Optional alternative is bring reviver seeds. Now that we've got the items out the way you need to shoplift from a kecleon and kill each one that comes in the room.If you have a one-room orb, use it. That way kecleons wont waste time finding you. I hope this helps!

|Teamsters UAL Negotiators Fail in Negotiations; IBT to use Continental contract at United
June 18, 2010 UAL IBT negotiators announced that they will now use Continental's contract as a guide to negotiate your UAL contract. The UAL membership will now rely on a contract from Continental mechanic negotiations which does not contain our seniority protections, outsourcing limits, work protections or other critical scope that mechanics at United have fought and sacrificed for over the last 25 years.
You can view the Continental contract at www.mechanicsforchange.com. Continental mechanics have stated there have been basically no improvements in this contract over the last 12 years of Teamster representation at Continental.
The Teamsters have failed to enforce our existing contract; they have failed to negotiate any contractual improvements with United over the past year and a half of negotiations. This announcement from the Teamsters negotiators clearly demonstrates their lack of experience. The IBT appointed negotiators are willing to scrap UAL contract language built by our mechanics over the past 25 years for a contract being negotiated by the IBT at Continental.
Teamsters and their appointed UAL negotiators are again showing their inexperience representing the mechanics at United.
In May the UAL SFO-OV Chief Steward stepped down under threat of recall for dereliction of duty. Appointed Business agents allowed him to remain on the UAL IBT negotiating committee, until SFOOV shop stewards found out and demanded his removal from the UAL Negotiating Committee. Teamsters Business agents pleaded for understanding to settle this issue "in house".
These actions are a clear reflection of the appointed representatives in the Teamsters union who are currently negotiating your contract with United Airlines. They have not enforced many areas of the contract over the last 2 years. Will they now surrender these rights and protections we have fought for over the last 25 years? Seniority rights, furlough protections, lifetime recall rights, C-check, Component and Engine Shop work area furlough protections, OSV annual audit language and grievance procedure rights and legal council.
The leadership of the IBT sent a clear message during the on property meetings at SFO and other UAL stations. IBT leaders stated negotiations were going nowhere and that any changes in language would have a cost…where does this leave us? The IBT has surrendered your right to negotiate a contract here at UAL.
The UAL Mechanics and Related now stand to lose seniority rights, job security provisions and critical scope language that protects our work and our membership during these IBT closed door negotiations.
Over the last two years the IBT has failed to enforce outsourcing language, contract mediation rights, grievance language and other CBA rights. The number of grievances on file by the SFO membership has doubled over the past 2 years. The only solution the IBT had was to remove the third step grievance rights and to shove grievances into their desks and pretend they don't' exist. Grievances have doubled and the "IBT Board of Adjustment" is a surrender of your contractual rights! The United Airlines mechanics need to change representation before the IBT destroys what is left of our contract and our membership loses all of the rights we have fought for over the last 25 years.
With the IAMAW and the AFL-CIO United mechanics can and will enforce the existing contract and negotiate the best contract possible for our UAL Mechanics and Related. Only the IAMAW has the negotiating history, resources and structure to properly represent the mechanics at United Airlines.

Hillsdale College remembers Trustee Emeritus and alumnus Phillip M. Crane, '52

Although Kristiana Mork currently plans to double major in Politics and Speech, her first encounter with both subjects in high school debate was less than favorable.
"My parents told me I had to do two years of high school debate, and initially, I hated it. I wanted to do something more artsy, like creative writing or dance," she laughs. "However, I grew to love debate, especially the public policy elements of it. I actually cried at the end of the two years and told my parents, 'I need to keep doing this!'"
It was in this context that Kristiana first heard about Hillsdale College. Her debate coach recommended that she consider applying to Hillsdale, so she decided to visit campus during her junior year. During this visit, she had a transformational conversation with Fred Schebor, Associate Director of Admissions Marketing.
"Mr. Schebor and I talked about understanding truth outside Christianity and free will," she recounts. "It was fascinating to hear him approach our discussion from a philosophical perspective, as opposed to a religious one, though he did stress the connection between these things and Judeo-Christian values. Coming from a strong faith background, I was primarily looking at applying to Christian colleges. However, even though Hillsdale is not a church-affiliated school, I was struck by how Mr. Schebor and the students that I met talked about things like truth, goodness, beauty, theology, morality, and religion. The environment here was intellectually stimulating, and I knew that it would strengthen my faith as well. Compared to some of the Christian colleges I had visited, the students and faculty here seemed so much more alive in their faith, and I decided that I wanted to be a part of the Hillsdale College community."
Krisitana laughs when asked about her classes. "Right now I'm taking Western Traditions of Rhetoric, and we're reading a ton of classical authors on the art of rhetoric. Then, back-to-back, I have Philosophy 101, in which we see Socrates blast the very same sophists I was just studying! It's a great dynamic, and one of my favorite things about a liberal arts education: you develop a truly well-rounded perspective."
Interestingly, especially for someone majoring in the Humanities, Kristiana says that her favorite class is Physical Science, one of the core requirements for all Hillsdale students. Whereas some might find the natural science course requirement to be a distraction from their chosen fields, Kristiana felt that this class enhanced her education. "I'm not a science person, but Dr. Hayes presented the world to us in such a different, compelling way. I love studying philosophy as a Politics and Speech major, but it's very different from the amazement that you feel when you see the Milky Way for the first time, or the satisfaction you get when you begin to comprehend how the planets move. Dr. Hayes opened up a whole new dimension in my understanding of world around me."
Kristiana really lights up when she talks about student life at Hillsdale. "I love the community here. You really get the sense that we're all in this together. My roommate and I are in the same philosophy class, so we'll both stay up late discussing what we're reading. She's a Socratic, while I tend to be more Aristotelian, so we go back and forth for hours on the merits of rhetoric and oration. At some point during this discussion, several friends will pop in, and the discussion will move to how philosophy relates to organic chemistry, or music, or whatever they are studying. My room gets crowded, but it's so much fun!"
Between pursuing a double major, working in the George Washington Fellowship Program, competing on the Mock Trial Team, and participating in the ballet programs on campus, Kristiana is a typical busy Hillsdale College student. But despite the enormous work load and the challenges of balancing her many activities, Kristiana genuinely enjoys her Hillsdale College experience. "Hillsdale has been everything for which I've hoped and dreamed. Classes are challenging, but the professors strive to make sure you learn and enjoy the process. Every Hillsdale student talks about how they're crazy busy and all over the place – but it's a good kind of crazy busy, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."

Drug Deaths Prevented by FDA
Executions postponed due to shortage of lethal injection drug - Scotsman.com News
Some executions in the United States have been put on hold because of a shortage of one of the drugs used in lethal injections.
Several of the 35 states that rely on lethal injection are struggling to secure supplies of sodium thiopental - an anaesthetic that renders the condemned inmate unconscious - or considering using another drug.
As for the possibility of obtaining the drug elsewhere, the Food & Drug Administration said there are no FDA-approved manufacturers of sodium thiopental overseas.
I gather the drug is being used for an "off-label" use anyway - the manufacturers are a bit sniffy - "Hospira provides these products because they improve or save lives and markets them solely for use as indicated on the product labelling." So why do they need FDA approval, what's the worse side effect that could happen, a rash?

More light snow on the way Sunday
Updated On: Feb 03 2013 09:36:13 AM EST
Sunday should start dry, but more light snow is on its way to Metro Detroit.
The next in our series of weak storm systems will bring more light snow into the area by midday, and continuing through Sunday afternoon. You'll likely have some snow to drive in on your way to a Super Bowl party, although accumulations should be only up to an inch. The snow should end by kickoff.
Highs will be in the low 20s Sunday. Another system brings another inch or two of snow to areas south of M-59 Monday, and another system on Tuesday brings more light snow. After a break on Wednesday, more light snow moves into the area on Thursday. Then things quiet down (and temps get closer to normal) for the start of next weekend's Motown Winter Blast…come downtown for all of the fun!

My husband and I started a weight loss challenge about three weeks ago. We weighed about the same at that time and were both very aware that we needed to shed some pounds. Our goal is to get to a certain weight and maintain that weight for at least two weeks. The first person to do this gets to decided what we will do for our anniversary in August. My husband wants to go camping. That is motivation enough for me to really work at this. So far, I have lost about 8lbs. My hubby has lost 3lbs.
I have really been watching what I eat and counting calories...for the most part. This past weekend I went to an amazing women's conference with my three best friends and had a blast. We heard about the plans God has for each of us, how to embrace our "Spice" and what it means to be a Christian woman...and then we ate. We went to Stake n Shake, we went to Krispy Kreme, we had Panera for lunch. It was not good. I had soda (and now I crave it again all the time). So now I am trying to get back on track....wish me luck!

"We Are Planning for Things to Get Worse"
(Remarks prepared for delivery before the Westport Board of Finance, Nov. 5, 2008)
I welcome the opportunity to bring you up to date on how Westport is faring in these tough economic times.
We've known for some time that the economy has been worsening and that Westport was not immune. The New York Times Sunday story was only belated confirmation to the world what we have long known.
With an estimated 20 percent of our residents involved in finance, Wall Street, real estate and related industries, the Times story was old news. I like to think by making us the poster child if you will of bad times in good places, that this—much like the bear appearing on magazine covers in years past—marks the start of a turnaround.
But that's not something we can count on. We have been poring over the numbers and the changing statistics daily. The good news is that we appear, so far, to have been hit less than other communities.
The other good news is that we have showed a surplus in our just completed 2007-08 tax year. Finance Director John Kondub will go over the details with you. The bad news is that we are planning for things to get worse.

5 takeaways from Chuck Todd on the Chris Christie scandal and the unifying force of Hillary Clinton
Jazz hands! Photo: (Pool/Getty News)
In a new episode of the Political Wire podcast, we talked with Chuck Todd, NBC's chief White House correspondent, about New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's (R) political headaches, the potential for infighting in the two major parties, and the forces that could shape the 2014 and 2016 elections.
Here are five takeaways:
1. The political headaches for Christie are just beginning. Christie has taken a beating in the headlines over emails between aides who appeared to be discussing lane closures on a bridge as political retribution. Still, Christie for now continues to enjoy rock-solid approval ratings, and some polling suggests Americans aren't following the unfolding scandal very closely. But with multiple bodies investigating the bridge debacle and his administration's use of Hurricane Sandy relief funds, the narrative of scandal will continue for now. Said Todd: "This is not the beginning of the end — it's the end of the beginning." What's less certain is how much this hurts Christie. "At a minimum, this becomes just a thorn in the side," Todd said.
2. Christie's biggest political asset has become a potential liability. Part of Christie's appeal as a potential presidential candidate stems from his perceived no-nonsense, straight-talking personality. But Todd noted that politicians often experience their downfall when their biggest asset becomes a negative: "That's something that Christie is experiencing right now." There's still nothing directly tying Christie to the lane closures. But the sensitive nature of the scandal could make Christie tighter-lipped, eroding some of that straight-talk image. Christie's political ambitions may yet survive this scandal, depending on what new findings come out and how he handles the matter. But he could sure use a more positive news story to help his cause.
3. Continuing partisanship and gridlock in Congress may alienate the middle, depressing turnout in 2014. Congress starts 2014 with an abysmal 13 percent approval rating. The public image of Congress as a polarized, dysfunctional body may only keep worsening as the parties continue grandstanding and bickering ahead of the midterm elections and as progress on hot-button items such as immigration reform languishes. The partisan sniping could rally the parties' bases but turn off independent and centrist voters, causing them to stay home in November and depressing overall turnout, Todd argued. Still, he noted a caveat to that prediction: Virginia's gubernatorial election in 2013 featured a highly divisive campaign as well, but there were no signs of such a turnout drop-off among independents and moderates.
4. Democrats can avoid major infighting between their progressive and centrist wings in 2016 if Hillary Clinton runs for president. Progressives have received a jolt of energy from the elections of New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) in 2013 and Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) in 2012. Some observers wonder whether progressives' growing presence in key offices, coupled with many Democrats' push for progressive policies such as a minimum-wage increase, will lead to infighting in 2016 between the party's more business-oriented centrist wing and its progressive wing. Clinton could prevent the infighting, Todd said: "You'd only see it if Hillary Clinton decided not to run."
5. President Obama's NSA reforms likely won't satisfy his critics. But they also may further bring out the GOP's national security divide. After the botched ObamaCare rollout, the National Security Agency's secret surveillance programs arguably comprised the most damaging story Obama faced in his difficult 2013. With political pressure to rein in the programs continuing, Obama is set to announce a package of reforms that will likely contain some measures from a report by a president-appointed advisory panel. The reforms, Todd explained, likely won't be sweeping, leaving NSA critics wanting more. The NSA debacle may also further bring out divisions on national security in Republican Party between the hawkish wing, led by the likes of Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), and libertarian-oriented wing, led by Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY). This policy debate could spill over into the 2016 presidential nomination season.

What a testimony for choosing life!
This morning I put the following quote on our Facebook page:
"Society as a whole must defend the conceived child's right to life and the true good of the woman who can never, in any circumstances, find fulfilment in the decision to abort." -Pope Benedict XVIIn the comments under the quote, the following testimony was given. I have been given permission to share here on the blog:
In 1975, at age 17, I went to PP for a pregnancy test... it was +. They were very convincing that I should abort, gave me a form for my parents to sign (but said no one would check the signature *wink wink*). The day before abortion, I changed my mind. I called to cancel appt, & they harangued me. But I rebelled! I chose life without even being a Christian.
I clung to my baby's life even when my parents' insisted I have an abortion when they found out (I ran away & got married). My son is 36 and such a blessing to me! Years later, I went back to PP for a pregnancy test - this time I was married and excited about the + sign. PP (a different "clinic") still pushed the abortion option saying I was still a bit young to have a child (I was 26). My daughter is now 28 and a teacher! Eleven years later I converted to Catholicism - finding the perfect expression of my faith in the fullness of Truth.
Now I pray outside our local PP. And I grieve for babies lost and families destroyed. I know first hand... you see, PP did manage to murder one of my children... my first grandchild. The grief was so overwhelming for those involved. If people would only listen to the Truth, no one would willingly choose such mass destruction.
Choosing life is definitely not the easy choice. But it's the better choice. Which can lead to other choices. Like adoption (my niece & nephew are adopted - we love them so much!!!) I have made many bad choices in my life - but choosing life was not one of them.
For those who have had abortions, my heart aches for you! You are loved and precious and I hope you have experienced God's infinite mercy in healing - because He wants that for you.
Pro-lifers should always embrace with love and compassion those who chose abortion... we're supposed to be pro-ALL life. A "problem" pregnancy is an opportunity for everyone to pitch in to help, be the BEST version of ourselves God created us to be, and reach out to those in need of our help.Thanks to Barbara for the beautiful testimony for life!

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.

Texas Business reports: A Texas man has devised a way of manipulating the heavy gas bottles used in welding.
Benton F. Baugh of Houston recently received U.S. Patent 8,262,336 for "Method for Handling Welding Gas Bottles."
Baugh filed for the patent more than two years ago on March 12, 2010.
The field of this invention is that of the handling of gas bottles onto the back of welding machines.
A typical restriction on what can be expected of workers in an industrial environment will be to lift 20-80 lbs. occasionally and 1-25 lbs. frequently, and 10 lbs. constantly. With these OSHA type restrictions on exertions which can be expected of employees, the handling of weld bottles has been a startling exception. Welding gas bottles are normally associated with welding as an inert gas shield is desirable to shield the hot weld area from atmospheric oxygen. Exposing the hot weld area to atmospheric oxygen can substantially reduce the quality of the welds. Other applications of the welding gas bottles are to provide oxygen and acetylene for cutting metal to a desire shape in preparation of welding it together. Welding gas bottles are typically removed from storage by picking up on the flat bottom plate of a 2 wheel dolly and moved to an area near the end of a welding mobile machine. The bottles will typically weigh about 185 lbs. each.
The mobile welding machine will have a support tray about 3 inches above the floor to accept the welding gas bottle. The welder will then "bear hug" the 185 lb. welding gas bottle, pick it up about 6 inches off the floor, rotate his body around about 45 degrees while holding the load, and land the welding gas bottle on the support tray. The welder does on a daily basis what is unimaginable within OSHA guidelines. Overhead cranes and gib cranes have been outfitted with slings to pick up the bottles on a safer basis, but the inconvenience of moving the welding machines to a position suitable for crane loading and waiting for one's turn to use the crane typically make these methods too inconvenient to use. For the past 100 years, millions of welding gas bottles have been man-handled at OSHA defying and back wrenching loads for one simple reason: they had no better choice. The present invention provides the choice not seen for the past 100 years, the safe and ergonomic handling of welding gas bottles. Baugh's invention does not require individual welders to lift excessive loads. A second object of this invention is to provide a method of handling welding gas bottles which is convenient enough to use that welders will use the method. A third object of this invention is to provide a method of handling welding gas bottles which will take the handling operations to the location of the welding machine rather than the welding machines needing to be taken to the handling location.
The invention is landing a welding gas bottle in a predetermined location on a support tray on a welding machine by providing a non-supporting area between two supporting areas and a having a hand truck which provides a welding gas bottle support which will fit between the supporting areas and allows the hand truck support to pass between the support areas of the support tray and thereby transferring the support of the welding gas bottle from the hand truck to the support tray by a pivoting of the handle of the hand truck.
The Texas News Scrawl is a handy reference to stories Texas Business recommends from other news sources. Some of the stories that Texas Business currently suggests include: Texas regulators not aware of potential CFTC manipulation probe, Irving spends incentive dollars to lure two corporate headquarters and almost 2,000 jobs; Hotels, restaurant operators prep for record Final Four; Star-Telegram presses roll one last time; Robert Rodriguez breathes new life into an old vampire favorite; ClubCorp buys Prestonwood Country Club in Dallas and Plano; Office Depot overcharged Dallas by up to $3.6 million, city auditor finds; Texas power market monitor resigns amid unresolved reform debate; and more.

Measuring small...concerns
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 10-23-2008 - 3:43pm
I had my 33 week appointment today, and my doctor says I am measuring small. I have had three ultrasounds so far, and in each one I've measured behind my official due date (12/5)...the latest one was a week behind, and that's where I usually fall. I've never been overly concerned about just a week's difference, but this time, on top of that, I had not gained a single ounce of weight since my last appointment two weeks ago (I've gained 15 pounds so far total). She ordered another ultrasound for two weeks from now to be sure everything is okay. She didn't seem overly concerned...just told me to eat healthy, which I feel like I do. She also said that if I notice a difference in movement to give her a call...she's never mentioned that before. So now I'm concerned that something could be wrong.
For any of you BTDT moms out there...anyone else have a similar experience? I know I shouldn't worry because I was just in the doctor's office this morning and SHE didn't seem worried, but you know how we mothers are! I already worry about being 42 and pregnant and all of the risks associated with that, so this doesn't help. My BP is good, and everything else looked fine. I also feel fine. I guess I just need to slap myself and tell myself not to worry anymore! Just looking for a little reassurance!
Thanks so much!
|Sat, 11-08-2008 - 3:42pm
Hi~I was lurking because I am considering starting over and I just turned 40 and just wanted to hopefully ease your mind and let you know that I measured small when I was pregnant with both.
|Fri, 10-24-2008 - 5:42pm
I did not have that problem (I gained over 40 pounds and measured the size of a baby cow<---just kidding, but it felt like that).
However, my daughter measured very small. She was 6 months pregnant before she even started showing. She didn't measure big at all of course and they kept changing her due date later and later (by 3 weeks). She didn't like this of course and SHE kept her original due date (when telling others what her dd was). But, she still delivered on her ORIGINAL dd was...the EXACT date.
Now, the reason I put my weight gain was because my daughters baby actually ended up being BIGGER than my baby with my size. ;o)
|Thu, 10-23-2008 - 6:11pm
I woudlnt worry to much, as for the movement changes, My doc always said to pay attention to the babies movements and I didnt have any complications at all, you are far enough along that if you went into labor your baby would have an excellent chance of survival so, if your fetal movement does diminish you should be aware of it, and act on it.
My doc said to lay down and I should feel the baby move about 10 times in an hour.
I am sure he/she just wants to you be aware of how your baby moves. Just in case.
as for weight gain, how big a baby you want? you may have gained in ounces, and im sure that the doc's scare doesnt measure oz, plus you have to deal with different people using the scale different clothing different shoes.. so who knows how totally accurate the scale is... so you could have gained a pound And it didnt register.
OH PS.. dont slap your self it will hurt!
Good luck

Chicken fingers aren't just for kids anymore. We've given this tired school-cafeteria classic an adult update with cayenne, Parmesan cheese, cilantro, and cumin. Using panko crumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs gives these juicy tidbits an extra crunch.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Cut each chicken breast on the diagonal into 7 strips. Mix the egg, mustard, and cayenne pepper together in a shallow bowl and toss the chicken strips to coat them.
In another bowl, mix the panko, Parmesan, cilantro, and cumin. Add half the chicken pieces and toss to coat them well. Line 2 baking pans with parchment and arrange the breaded chicken on the pan, leaving some space between the chicken pieces so that they will brown nicely. Drizzle with the butter. Repeat the process with the rest of the chicken.
Bake the chicken fingers until nicely colored and firm to the touch, about 25 minutes. For even browning, it helps to rotate the pans halfway through baking. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve the chicken fingers arranged on a platter, garnished with cilantro, with a bowl of the dipping sauce.
Make-ahead: Before baking, the chicken fingers can be breaded and kept, uncovered, in the refrigerator for up to 8 hours.
Tip: Panko crumbs are Japanese dried breadcrumbs. They can be found at Asian markets and most grocery stores.
Nutritional information is based on 21 servings, 1 1/2 lbs of boneless, skinless, chicken breast, but does not include Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce with Horseradish. For nutritional information on Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce with Horseradish, please follow the link above.

If you have ever watched a freight train you have probably noticed at one time or another tank cars in the mix, usually carrying some type of chemical commodity. This type of railroad car has also become more prolific and diversified in recent years hauling increasing types of materials such as food-based products, petrochemicals, and ethanol. However, at one time this was not the case and in many ways the tank car is "specialty" freight car, meaning that its creation came about to haul a specific commodity or commodity type. While the perception has started to change in recent times for many years, even through the latter half of the 20th century, railroads have been quite stubborn about accepting new technologies or any change at all for that matter. So, when new oil companies began to spring up after oil reserves were discovered in the 1860s railroads were, not surprisingly, hostile to developing a new type of car to haul the commodity.
However, on the continued insistence of these companies change did begin to take place. Before this, and with almost every type of commodity (liquid or solid), railroads used a combination of boxcars, flatcars, and gondolas to haul everything from lumber and coal to crude oil and water (by use of barrels). The inefficiencies of hauling liquids this way (barrels meant much less of the commodity could be transported and barrel construction was never seal-tight so they often leaked or were easily damaged in transit) quickly became obvious not only by the oil companies but also other businesses which had their liquid goods shipped via railroads.
The earliest version of tank cars, or oil car as it was known at the time, began to appear in the early 1860s still during the Civil War. Essentially, a standard flatcar was employed with two or three vertical vats placed on top. Unfortunately, the design had several flaws; the most obvious was that it could not hold very much product due to height and width issues. Additionally, however, the wooden vats leaked. By the late 1860s following the war the first true tank car began to take shape, transitioning from an early vertical vat-on-flat-car design to a horizontal iron tank which was mounted to a traditional flat car, roughly similar to what is commonly used today featuring a top dome to load the product as well as a discharge valve at the bottom. This new design allowed for much more of a commodity type to be shipped via one car and quickly became widely used, especially to haul crude oil.
By the 1870s and 1880s tank cars were in widespread use across the industry not the least of which was due to the fact that the oil/petroleum business was growing into a very profitable venture for railroads. Despite the better design the car was still traditionally built with wood at this time where the horizontal tank was fastened to a flatcar. However, as the 20th century progressed the car was constructed of better materials. For instance, with the development of steel and welded seams the car was much stronger and thus could be built larger to haul much heavier loads. Also during the 20th century many more commodity types became available from eatable liquids to various oil products, which required differing types of tank cars to be built (such as those with interior glass-linings to accommodate edible commodities and chemicals).
Despite the widespread use of the tanker by the late 19th century railroads still found the car somewhat of annoyance since it typically could only be used to haul one product. For instance, a car carrying oil could not haul any other type of liquid, such as a food-based product. This led to the rise of privately-owned rail car fleets, especially within the petroleum and chemical industry. Throughout the first half of the 20th century the car's demand continued to climb, first with the introduction of the automobile and then later during both World Wars with a brief decline during the great depression. Today, most tankers are privately owned and as mentioned above carry a wide range of products from industrial to food-based.
Over the last half-century or so the tank car's overall design has not changed significantly, with any alterations within the general design itself to accommodate various commodities (such as differing positions of the dome, walkways, and pressurized/non-pressurized railroad cars). If you are curious as to what a car may be carrying their product is usually labeled on the lower-right hand corner of the car along with other reporting marks (and will say something such as "ammonia," "chlorine," or some type of acid). Given the fact that today there are so many differing types of bulk liquid commodities to carried on the railroads the tanks car will certainly always be one type of freight cars used by the railroad industry for years to come.
For more reading about tank cars consider the book, Freight Train Cars, from Mike Schafer, one of the leading authors covering all corners of the railroad industry (from its history to present day operations). The book gives an excellent general history and overview on all of the common freight car types and if you are interested in learning more about them, or you are simply looking to better understanding their history and development you should very much enjoy Mr. Schafer's book.

The Best Double Strollers
We're so happy to welcome Eli Gurock as the newest member of our team of expert contributors. Eli will be our resident gear expert.
Usually twice as much of something is a bonus—like, if I offered you a double espresso, you'd be psyched, right? Double strollers, on the other hand, are more challenging than singles. They're bigger, heavier and you have two children's needs to consider, whether you're having twins or transporting siblings. But a great double stroller is your ticket to freedom as you juggle your new life with two kids. Believe me when I say you will be so happy and liberated with your new set of wheels built for two.
Here are a few of my favorite double strollers:
This Bugaboo Donkey Duo is quite pricey, but it is so worth it. The Donkey has unparalleled design and engineering. You can transform this stroller from a single to a double in seconds, and it enables you to adjust the seats so the children can face you or face the world.
Bugaboo Donkey Duo ($1,499)
With 10" wheels and a width of only 25", the Mountain Buggy Duet side-by-side double stroller is incredibly narrow. You get all of the benefits of a side-by-side but in a small package.
Mountain Buggy Duet ($499)
If you're looking for a serious jogging stroller with the flexibility for all-terrain walking, the Bob Duallie is a great choice. It doesn't recline fully for newborn, and it's 32" wide (tough to get through doorways), but it's easy to fold and is great quality.
Bob Duallie ($659)
With sixteen different combinations, the Baby Jogger City Select offers great flexibility. The children can face you, face the world or a combination of the two.
Baby Jogger City Select ($499)
While test-driving double strollers, you should also think about the distance in age between your children. If you're having twins or your kids are under two years apart, you may want to consider a stroller that allows you to recline both seats fully flat.
If you live in an urban environment where you walk out your front door and go for long walks, consider a stroller that is more fully featured with larger wheels. If you live in the suburbs and drive everywhere, you may want to choose something more lightweight that's easy to get in and out of the trunk.
Welcome Eli! It's about time we had a real gear guru on board! Wish I had this info back when I was choosing a double stroller. There is certainly a lot to think about when choosing any stroller and you have given some great pointers. Thanks.
http://projectnursery.com/ PN_Melisa
So wonderful to have you on board Eli! You are are going to help so many of our readers with your valuable advice!
Thanks, Pam and Melisa. So grateful to be a part of this wonderful PN team.

Okay so I know everyone would love to share some personal time with Trey on a level where they felt there heart melt. But here's my biggest question.......
Do you believe Trey would treat his women like an Angel. and don't just say yes because you love him like i do.
The realness of it all balls down to Trust. Dealing with someone in the industry comes with lots of females attached as well as much time spent apart; due to traveling and making things happen. How would you handle yourself if you were in that position with Trey?
P.s. Knowing a person mind, body, and soul is a way of winning there heart. Sometimes it's not all about the wealth and fame, it's about the connection being able to finish you partner sentence without even having to think, being able to discuss anything without hiding it and making sweet love to one another is just a plus to. Relationships comes with a lot dealing with a celebrity or not. If I had it my way I would definitely want to give trey all my love that god as allowed me to grow into.. Love is so under rated and people don't really know it it stands for, but to love someone is to know someone and accept them for who they are, and who they are not..
Anyway it's cool to just dream about that one day when I might be able to meet Trey..
As I always say through the lord " With man it's impossible; with God all things are possible" So I will always hold faith.
Remember to love with all you can, and with all your heart !!!

Parents line up overnight to shop at Christmas House
EVERETT - Moms and dads are coming to Everett's Christmas House in hopes of providing a good Christmas for their children.
Parents from across Snohomish County are still lining up overnight hoping to shop at the nonprofit located at the Everett Boys & Girls Club.
Christmas House collects new toys throughout the year to give away each December.
Last Wednesday, Dec. 11, was the first day Christmas House didn't have to turn anyone away, group vice president Jerry Thomas said. The nonprofit gives out 180 shopping vouchers on weekdays.
Alijah Evans wept as she picked out toys for her four children.
"We hadn't planned a Christmas, just a tree," Evans said.
Her family lost everything over the past two years while battling a series of medical issues. They lost all of their belongings before moving to Everett.
She carefully picked out electric razors for her daughters and a notepad.
"It's been really hard," Evans said. "This made it better."
Nathan Chernobieff, a 27-year-old dad of three, has shopped at Christmas House the past few years because he hasn't been able to work after a work accident.
He'll be taking home a bigger bicycle for his growing son thanks to Christmas House. The group will be giving away more than 100 bikes this season.
There's a story at every turn, Thomas said.
Hani, who came from Iraq 20 years ago, was able to find a new pink coat for his daughter. His family of four lives in Lynnwood.
Meanwhile, Irina, a mother of seven from Everett, picked out toys to supplement her family's Christmas. "I'm glad to be here because it helps my family," she said.
"For most people, this is Christmas," volunteer Chad Kvangnes said.
Last year the nonprofit provided toys and clothing to 9,360 children from 3,345 Snohomish County families. More than 400 homeless children received toys and clothing.
The last shopping day is Monday, Dec. 21.
To shop, you must be a Snohomish County resident earning 150 percent below the federal poverty line, which for a family of three means earning less than $29,295 a year, or about $536.37 a week.
The nonprofit is 100 percent volunteer-run. To learn more, visit www.christmas-house.org.
As she carefully browsed the items inside Christmas House, Evans' overwhelmed look gave way to a big smile.
"This is going to be the best Christmas ever," she said.

Fans were treated to a high-scoring affair last weekend as the Charleston MoJo outscored the Chattanooga Phillies 10-8 in seven innings.
The teams totaled 19 hits in the game. The game was back-and-forth heading into the seventh, with six lead changes. The MoJo finally managed to grab the lead after a strong seventh inning.
Koltyn Plumb had an incredible game at the plate, racking up three RBIs, two runs and three stolen bases on three hits for the MoJo.
He singled in the first, fourth, and seventh innings.
Even though Jacob Sampson allowed eight runs over five innings, only three were earned runs and he still recorded the victory. Sampson struck out seven, walked four and gave up six hits. He is now 1-1 on the season with a 3.50 ERA and a team-leading season total of 31 strikeouts.
Joseph Martin was charged with the loss for the Phillies. He allowed 10 runs and 11 hits in 5 2-3 innings, walked five and struck out four.
The MoJo jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first. The MoJo rally started when Plumb singled. A stolen base then moved Plumb from first to second. Elijah Haynie singled, scoring Plumb. The MoJo added more runs when Sampson and Haynie scored on a two-run double by Jeremiah Dills.
The Chattanooga Phillies quickly matched the MoJo's strong inning with a three-run inning of their own in the first. The Phillies scored on a fielder's choice, a passed ball, and an error.
The MoJo went up for the duration of the game after the seventh inning. Additional runs came from a sacrifice fly by Colby Dills; with that RBI he has a team-leading 10 RBIs on the season. Charleston went up for good on an RBI single by Jacob Sampson off Martin, plating Haynie.
Nick Clerc came in the bottom of the seventh to pitch to close out the game. Clerc shut down the Phillies to get the save. Randy Smith recorded the final out of the game on a sweet dig out of the dirt on a shot to third base.
The MoJo's Smith finally broke his "0-for" slump by getting his first hit on the season.
Smith had two stolen bases, two runs scored and was walked twice.
Cecil Thompson added a hit and Jon Crowe added a stolen base and a run scored on a hit.
Josh Walker gave the MoJo fans a scare on his steal of second base as he severely sprained his ankle.
The Mojo are now 3-5-1 on the season; they will be home in Charleston on June 1 against the Ooltewah Cardinals at 1:30. Admission is free, so have some family fun and come watch your local team play Americas game in a truly intense, competitive fashion.
If interested in trying out for the MoJo or another Tri State Adult Baseball League team contact Jeremiah Dills at email@example.com or 423-381-7234.

A local location is among 33 J.C. Penney stores closing nationwide.
We've learned one of them is located at the Bristol, Virginia Mall. The closures will result in 2,000 job cuts across the country.
The company says the decision is part of its turnaround efforts to focus on its highest potential growth opportunities.
J.C. Penney says this action will result in an annual savings of about $65 million beginning this year.
Final closings are expected to be complete by early May.
