For those who love 90's dance music, the is an excellent buy.The problems people have is thats it is basically the same songs as any other 90s album. This is true but ignores the fact that these are good songs and would do well in any collection.The songs are great and the albulm its self deserves 5 stars. Those looking for something with 90s originality will not find it here but that should be obvious from the song list they see prior to buying.

Decision time nears for Dunbarton school vote
The Authorized Regional Enrollment Area (AREA) agreement ends in 2014, and Dunbarton voters must choose whether to continue its 40-year relationship with Goffstown, or pursue a new partnership with the Bow school district.
Should Dunbarton choose to let the agreement with Goffstown expire, Goffstown could lose as much at $2 million in tuition revenue.
With about six weeks to go before the final vote, the Dunbarton School Board has held a public information meeting and arranged for tours of both Goffstown and Bow schools later this month.
At Wednesday's meeting, the Dunbarton School Board presented information highlighting the similarities and differences between the districts in areas, including test scores, course offerings and taxpayer cost.
Philip Pancoast, chairman of the Goffstown School Board, said the re-negotiated AREA agreement includes new provisions that will give both Dunbarton and New Boston a slightly lower rental charge and more say in educational decisions over the next 10 years.
"We've done all the things necessary to make sure those communities have a voice in the education of their students," Pancoast said.
Under the new agreement, school board members in the two towns will have a vote on school board sub-committees. "The sub-committees do most of the work of the school board," Pancoast said. "A vote on a sub-committee is meaningful."
The building rental charge paid by Dunbarton and New Boston, which is part of the tuition calculation, has been reduced to 2 percent from 2.5 percent, Pancoast said at Goffstown's school deliberative session Saturday.
"We're returning to where we were 10 years ago," Pancoast said. "We needed to have an agreement that was competitive on a price basis." Dunbarton School Board Chairman Rene Ouellet said that after much negotiation, the AREA agreement with Goffstown stacks up well against the one with Bow.
Pancoast also said the relationship among the three school districts has been beneficial to the Goffstown community.
"We've had a very effective marriage for the past 40 years," he said. "It's substantially important to this community."
A point of contention between Goffstown and Dunbarton lies in the repayment of an $800,000 bond that paid for improvements at Goffstown High School, which Pancoast said contributed to the school's accreditation.
Pancoast said Goffstown's position is that Dunbarton would still be responsible for repayment of its share of that bond, regardless of whether Dunbarton continues the agreement.
"Nowhere in the statutory scheme does it say you get to exit without consequence," Pancoast said. "You can't go to the statute to resolve this issue."
But Ouellet disagrees.
"Our position is simple," he said. "If we do not renew the agreement, it expires," adding that state statute doesn't address the repayment of any bonds.

The Pig Who Sang To The Moon: The Emotional World Of Farm Animals
By Jeffrey Moussaieff MassonBallantine
Although linked by a subtitle to his innocuous best sellers about dogs and cats, Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's The Pig Who Sang to the Moon reads suspiciously like a veiled attack on meat-eating—until page three, that is, when the veil comes off. It is a more muddled attack than we have come to expect from the animal-rights movement, but that may be why it works so well. Most of us want to be talked out of enjoying our favorite foods about as much as we want to be talked into studying The Watchtower in our spare time; we're more likely to let people try to convert us if we don't think they've spent years perfecting their harangue. Masson, then, may be just the sort of spokesman the animals have been waiting for. His approach is so divertingly amateurish, his logic so far from airtight, that we see no harm in letting him ramble on for just one more chapter—only to find we've turned the last page, and he has affected us by the simple decency of his example.
Unless the author thinks that quoting Gandhi is the way to cast an awed hush over neighborhood barbecues, he did not write The Pig Who Sang to the Moon for the average American meat eater. The publishers, for their part, must have known that the PETA crowd would be put off by the open-doored fantasy barn on the cover and the absence of grisly photographs inside. No, this book is aimed squarely at the James Herriot-reading fellow travelers of the animal-rights movement: those kindhearted people who are always looking for ways to help, even if it means donating a perfectly good exercise machine to the Humane Society thrift shop; the ones who are so appalled by factory farms that they've pretty much given up meat entirely, especially veal, unless, of course, they're at someone's house; these are the people who assume an air of solidarity with the movement that drives it stark raving mad. If Masson shares his comrades' urge to tell all these ovo-lacto-carno-vegetarians where they can put their Mr. Winkle calendars, he has done an impressive job of restraining himself—as well he should have. For better or worse, they're the closest thing to an audience the animal-rights movement has, and it's about time someone wrote something on this subject that they won't feel too upset to read.
Masson's main point is that animals, far from being dumb and unfeeling, are similar enough to human beings to suffer horribly from the conditions in which they are farmed and slaughtered. The dust jacket calls this "revolutionary" talk, but it's unlikely to elicit much surprise or disagreement even from the meat-eating mainstream. The idea that the animals we eat are mere moving things, though still widespread in Asia (the word for "animal" in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean means "moving thing"), is common in the West only in regard to fish, which we hardly think of as being slaughtered at all, and to the lobsters we boil alive. For the farm animal, on the other hand, we've always had more pity than Masson seems to think; not for nothing do we get choked up when reading Charlotte's Web to our children. But this is a false pity—what the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig defined in another context as "the heart's impatience to rid itself as quickly as possible of the painful emotion aroused by another's misfortune." Its main effect on our lives is to make us lunge for the TV remote (ill-temperedly, as if a trust had been broken) whenever a camera so much as points at a slaughterhouse across a cornfield. We don't support gratuitous cruelty—we're not monsters, for God's sake—but neither do we lose any sleep wondering what happens to farm animals when we're not looking. Still less do we care what goes on in their hearts and minds. Research could prove that cows love Jesus, and the line at the McDonald's drive-through wouldn't be one sagging carload shorter the next day. The ethological thrust of Masson's book is therefore no more likely to change our behavior than the other arguments he tosses in for good measure—philosophical and moral arguments that the animal-rights movement has spent decades preaching to a world that can barely be bothered to look up from its plate. As the heroine of J. M. Coetzee's Elizabeth Costello (2003) concludes in one of her lectures, our hearts are closed to animals; we have the capacity to imagine their suffering, "but choose not to exercise it."
This is precisely what makes Masson's style so important, a style that contrasts strongly with that of most well-known books on this theme. In Animal Liberation (1975), the bible of the movement, Peter Singer seems at pains to present himself as prickly and aloof, a man who has never felt the need for a pet, and he obviously wants non-vegetarian readers to see themselves reflected in a pair of cat-loving dimwits who once asked him over for ham sandwiches. A similar inability to relate to any but the already indignant marks Matthew Scully's Dominion (2002), an otherwise brilliant book that was reviewed in these pages. The cover shows a trussed ram, the inside jacket promises a "painful" read complete with a visit to a "hellish" farm, and the introduction starts like this:
It began with one pig at a British slaughterhouse. Somewhere along the production line it was observed that the animal had blisters in his mouth and was salivating. The worst suspicions were confirmed, and within days borders had been sealed and a course of action determined. Soon all of England and the world watched as hundreds, and then hundreds of thousands, of pigs, cows, and sheep and their newborn lambs were taken outdoors, shot, thrown into burning pyres, and bulldozed into muddy graves. Reporters described terrified cattle being chased by sharpshooters, clambering over one another to escape. Some were still stirring and blinking a day after being shot.
I don't know about England, but America certainly didn't watch that, and wouldn't have watched it for anything. Nor is it interested in reading a book that starts out like that. The reason a hurried "Oh, I hardly eat meat either" has become such a popular response to another's declaration of vegetarianism is usually not that we mean it, but that we now know enough about factory farming to want to stop Scully types from telling us any more. It's a cold-blooded squeamishness all right, like that of the German villagers who scowled into their handkerchiefs rather than behold the corpses in liberated death camps, but it does no good for activists to rage against it. This is a free country (for human beings), and the American meat eater doesn't need to consider anything he doesn't want to. Try forcing him, and he will only conclude, again like those German villagers, that the whole exercise has more to do with punishment than persuasion.

BASS officials took no chances Friday, canceling the second day of the tournament amid forecasts of high winds.
Lee Bailey, one of the first to weigh fish, told the crowd quite sincerely that "everybody needs to say a private prayer for the guys who are still out there."
High winds and rolling waves on Day One of the Empire Chase cracked boat hulls, overcame engines and swamped boats.
"The best thing about today," Niggemeyer said, "is that I've still got tomorrow."
The tournament will continue Saturday, July 21 and conclude Sunday, July 22 as scheduled.
After the first day of competition, co-angler Robert Suhr was a quick learner, bagging big fish and making it back to the weigh-in in one piece.
While most anglers never fish using deck seats, rough conditions on Lake Erie prompted them to install the seats for the first day of the Empire Chase.
The winds blew, the waves crested and the Bassmaster Elite Series pros dragged scads of smallmouth bass across the scales.
"I'm really hoping I don't have to throw mine out," angler Gary Klein said, "but depending on the wind it could be one, two or even three."
Recreational boating competition will be down. Fish-care penalties will be way up, with fish dying in rough livewell runs and from depressurizing too quickly when caught at depths of up to 40 feet.

Dear African leaders,
We can grow millions of jobs, feed Africa and create a better future if you keep your promises to invest in agriculture and support smallholder farmers, especially women.
Fidelis from Kenya can tell you why
Read ONE's report and find out why the potential for agriculture to drive economic growth, build food security and create jobs, is enormous.
"Today the Koko Master has become the Koko Farmer. Cocoa is very big in Ghana, but the people who grow it don't even have enough money to feed themselves – and they're farmers!"
"When I sleep, all I think about are the potatoes – they are helping my dreams come true."

I've lived in Des Moines for nearly 20 years. In that time, it's hard to believe I've never been to the Valle Drive-In. That all changed on Friday night.
We always start our summers with a fun list of things we want to do. Going to the drive-in was a must. So, when I saw "Maleficent" and "Million Dollar Arm" were held over for a second week – I knew we were in!
We piled everyone into the car and headed to Newton. A lot of you said to bring snacks – so we did. We packed a cooler full of water and juice boxes. My wife popped several rounds of popcorn and dumped it all in a large paper bag. Yum. Before we left town, we stopped by Subway for a few sandwiches to bring with.
Do you ever get nervous before going somewhere you've never been before? I do. I start worrying about making stupid mistakes and looking like an idiot to all the rest of the pros.
We got there with plenty of time to spare and settled into a spot up front. Just then, a nice young man working at the drive-in stopped by and asked me to select one spot, not two. I did think the spaces were a little roomy – and turns out I was taking up two of them. Dang it. Strike one. No problem. I quickly moved the car…and dinner was served.
We had a ball watching all the kids gather in the grass. Some were playing catch while others kicked around a soccer ball. My wife and I stared at each other. We were not prepared. So, my girls spent a few minutes playing "throw the stuffed animal." Curses. Strike two.
The first movie, "Maleficent" started about 8:45pm. I turned my car to "accessory" – just like it says on the sheet they give you at the entrance. As it gets darker, my wife says: "Why are we the only ones with our car lights on?" Hmmm. I peak around, and sure enough – we're the only ones with the lights on inside our car. I fumble around for my manual and cannot figure out how to turn em off. Ehhh. Now, I'm sweating. "No worries!" Back to the movie. Except when it ended, my car wouldn't start. Strike three…we're out.
The nice guy parked next to me walked around his car – knowing an amateur (me!) had parked next to him. He says: "Do you need some jumper cables?" He'd clearly done this before and was very prepared. Thank you, sir. Yes, yes I guess I do. Only, I can't remember how to do it. Negative to positive? Positive to positive? Ahhh! I don't want to torch either of our cars, so, I just stand there. The nice guy next to me stepped in and handled it from there. All good – and we were on our way home.
Believe it or not, we had a GREAT time. My wife called it "charming" several times. Sure, it was a little crazy…but we're already planning our next trip. So, take it from me:
- Park in right space
- Bring some games
- Figure out how to turn off the lights in your car so you don't kill your battery

New Soyuz spaceship for tourists: window or aisle?
Right now, tony tourists can book five-star hotels, first-class flights and luxury rental cars — everything the well-heeled traveler can ask for. In the very near future, you can add space travel to the list. Russian space manufacturer Energia announced that they plan to start building another Soyuz spacecraft specifically for tourists.
Russia had pulled the plug on space tourism to dedicate the Soyuz trips to support the International Space Station. Right now, Energia builds four Soyuz for trips to the ISS. However, by building just one more this year, the skies are open again for commerce. How much would you pay for a trip to space?

- " The experience was great, especially because the location of the hostel is fantastic. It is just outside the train station and there is a tram just 5 minutes walk away. Friendly staff. We got a 4 bed female one. We had one toilet that was shared between us. The room and toilet were clean when we arrived. The room was also air-conditioned, which was great given the weather in Nice. The issues we had were with the super creaky wood floor and there was only one power socket to share. "

How do you define success? It's different for all of us.
Yearly Archive for 2012
Shining The Light on the Matter
Today I participated in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk in Washington Park. Despite my loses over the year from breast cancer, I never attended any of the walks. This year I felt I needed to show my support. I walked with Touche Mishe's group, Shining Light on the Matter. It's […] [Read More]
The pink sweater gets a 'do over'
October is breast cancer awareness month, and my baby sister passed away two years ago. She still can bring a smile to my face. My sister's husband married a few months after her death, and my sister's things were relegated to our family's barn. I called him and asked if there was anything 'personal' that […] [Read More]
'How to Win Friends and Influence People' was written in 1937 and became an overnight success. I thought it was too simple to bother with. You can download it for free by the way. It wasn't until I read it for the third time that I realized he was on the money. His idea about winning friends […] [Read More]
Let the magic of success begin
I've been listening to what they call 'motivational tapes' and there seems to be a common theme. The theme is if you want it, it will come. Is this what they call magic? I wonder if all magic is just smoke and mirrors. Wanting isn't a bad thing but as my dad said, it's not enough. As a […] [Read More]
Do Jerks Make Better Leaders?
After years in the world of business and the Legislative communications, I have worked for my fair share of jerks – and while they seemed dysfunctional (at best) they still managed to secure leadership positions. A recent Washington Post article this topic gave me new insight but I still can't figure out why so many […] [Read More]
Just Because You Can't See It Doesn't Mean It's Not There
Yesterday I decided to clean the front of my black dishwasher. As I looked at the paper towel, I realized it was covered with a greasy orange slime; no doubt from frying tomato sauce. It was really dirty, and I didn't notice. Was this just the "tip of the iceberg" as they say? Am I […] [Read More]
Why Does "Why" Matter?
Most people are caught up in the "whys" of life. Why did this happen, why did he do that or why is this happening? You can spend your whole life wondering about the "whys" and never go anywhere. It took me a long time to figure this out. Like many of you, I thought if […] [Read More]
What's Wrong With You? Are You Too Smart?
People talk about success as if it were something that they're entitled to; if they're smart enough, it will just happen. Success is not so simple. Being successful is complicated. Some of the smartest people never become successful. Remember your high school yearbook and the person voted "most likely to succeed?" Typically, the person was […] [Read More]
Lance Armstrong: Is You Is Or Is You Ain't My Baby?
I can't help but write about Lance Armstrong; I love Lance but he has to come clean. It's time to find out if the charges are legitimate. I was so upset when I heard that Lance wasn't going to fight the charges; then I thought, maybe it's just too much work, too much money and […] [Read More]

The Americas
While I agree that the obstacles prospective visitors to America must face, and the consequent decline in tourism, are "disquieting", there is an even more disturbing aspect to America's overall policy towards those who would wish to come to this country. That is the Bush administration's extreme hypocrisy as it relates to Iraq's growing refugee and humanitarian crises. Mainly as a result of the Iraq war, almost 2 million displaced Iraqis are desperately seeking asylum abroad. Yet, the Bush administration has seen fit to, during the past two years, accept into our country only about 400 of these wretched people. I find it a supreme irony that this administration has no problem sacrificing American blood and treasure to supposedly give Iraqis freedom and "democracy," yet does not find these very same people worthy of refuge in our own country.

Get Hidaya (guidance) from The Creator and give Hadiyyah (gift) to His creation
Hidaya is currently supporting over 6,000 students under the Spread Education project!
The spread of basic general education among poor, rural populations is one of Hidaya's priorities. This project is divided among the following sub-projects, below - Please donate for these efforts, your donations will go a long way to build a bright future for the next generations in poor countries.
Support Poor StudentsHidaya Foundation provides partial or full assistance to poor students from primary school to university levels, who are not in a position to continue their education because of financial hardships. Areas of assistance include: admission fees, text books, tuition fees, exam fees, hostel fees, uniforms, backpacks, school supplies, stationery items, as well as a stipend which may range from $5 - $50 per month depending on local conditions and economic status of each student's family. Please Donate.
Female Education Drop-out PreventionHistory has proven that illiterate mothers will likely produce illiterate and ineffective members of societies. Alternatively, literate mothers will largely contribute to literate and effective societies. Hidaya strongly believes that women need to be properly educated as they are the future mothers of the next generation and therefore the most important building block of our societies.
In 2005, Hidaya's team conducted a research in Shikarpur, Pakistan which ultimately proved that due to lack of schools and poverty, the literacy rate for all women was below 3%. Among female students, 75% never go to school, and only 10% who even begin their primary school are able to complete their studies, as most parents can't afford even the essentials for survival, hence they decide to keep girls at home and, if at all even possible, they send only their sons to school.
Just $6 per month is enough to offer one student the opportunity to continue her education and bring a remarkable change to her life and in time, many such cases can bring change to the larger society. Please Donate.
Adult EducationIlliteracy is not only a concern for the young but also among adults. The true value of education throughout a family or community will be realized when the people who make up the community are educated themselves. Hidaya strives to teach adults basic education such as reading, writing, basic arithmetic, basic farming techniques and more. Adult students are able to attend fast-paced courses which give them an education level up to the 8th grade in just 6 months. Please Donate.
Language CompetencyEmployment opportunities can multiply for someone if they possess the ability to read and write in their native language as well as a foreign language. Hidaya intends to assist the poor by teaching them competency in their local language along with English. Future plans for expanding this project include teaching other foreign languages such as Arabic, Chinese, and Turkish. Please Donate.
Sports & Fitness TrainingHidaya is working towards organizing various youth sports leagues and competitions in poor & rural areas of Pakistan. There are many benefits of such activities such as fostering teamwork among young children and providing them with positive environments and good adult role models. Please Donate.
Sign up for Automatic Monthly Donation towards this project.
Hidaya Foundation was awarded Sitara-i-Eisaar (Star of Sacrifice) by the Government of Pakistan, in recognition of the results-oriented relief efforts during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.
Hidaya Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) with FEIN 77-0502583. All cash and in-kind donations are tax deductible. Hidaya puts it's best effort to utilize the funds donated for a specific project, sometimes circumstances dictate we use funds otherwise.
Warehouse for in-kind drop-off: 57 Bonaventura Dr, San Jose, CA 95134 (Open Sat & Sun 12 - 4pm)

An update on story posted earlier
OLYMPIA – Gov. Chris Gregoire said she's confident the federal government will come up with some $435 million in money for Medicaid reimbursements over the next 18 months, easing somewhat the cuts the state would have to make on health care spending to fill a projected hole in its budget
At a morning press conference to announce the number of jobs generated by federal stimulus money, Gregoire said she now expects both houses of Congress will extend the Federal Medical Assistance Percentages – commonly called FMAP – in a way that sends higher reimbursement for Medicaid patients to Washington. The state has traditionally has lower reimbursement rates than many other places.
Higher FMAP funding would reduce the amount of revenue the state would have to produce — through taxes or fees or federal grants — to "buy back" some state programs she proposed cutting in her December budget.
The FMAP proposal was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives, and has yet to pass the Senate, but is in President Barack Obama's 2011 budget proposal.
"I'm going to book it," Gregoire said, noting that other states including California have already factored into their budgets.

Johnson unveils 2010 Helmet of Hope Program
- Jul 09, 2010
- 48 Team
CHICAGO, Ill. (July 9, 2010) – The Jimmie Johnson Foundation announced that it will partner with Samsung for the 2010 Samsung Helmet of Hope program. In its third year, the program allows fans and media members to nominate their favorite charity to receive special recognition. New this year, nominations will focus on charities that assist children in need, and the program will include a grant of $10,000 to each selected organization. As in past years, the chosen charities will be featured on reigning four-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson's helmet. The helmet, custom designed by Jason Beam, will be worn during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., in October.
"Samsung and Lowe's have both been tremendous supporters of the foundation," said Johnson, who has won the past three fall Sprint Cup races (2007, 2008 and 2009) at Auto Club Speedway, twice while wearing the Helmet of Hope. "As we looked for ways to grow our Helmet of Hope program, partnering with Samsung was the perfect fit. They have been a great advocate for the foundation, and for my primary sponsor Lowe's. With Samsung's help, we will be able to reach a much larger audience and make a substantial contribution to help children in need."
The program will run for six consecutive Sprint Cup race weekends, beginning with the Brickyard 400 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and culminating at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Each week Johnson will select two charities, one from fan submissions and one from media submissions. Nominations currently are being taken and will be accepted until 5 p.m. ET on Sept. 1, 2010, at www.helmetofhope.org.
To kick off the program, Samsung selected an additional charity, Feeding America®'s "Kids Café" program, to be the first logo to adorn the helmet. The Kids Café program works to address the growing epidemic facing children's hunger.
In addition to the Samsung Helmet of Hope program, Samsung and Lowe's have partnered together for "48 Days of Samsung Savings" at Lowe's, which begins in store July 15th. Throughout the event, Lowe's will have special offers on various Samsung home appliances including refrigerators, washers and dryers, free standing ranges, over the range microwaves and dishwashers. New product offers in support of the Samsung Helmet of Hope program will be available throughout the 48 days.
"We are thrilled to work with our key partners, Lowe's and Jimmie Johnson in our latest initiative to Share the Wonder of Samsung with children in our communities," stated Tim Baxter, president, Consumer Business Division, Samsung Electronics America. "Samsung is the fastest-growing home appliance brand in the U.S. and when we are given a chance to leverage that leadership to make a difference in the lives of children, we embrace the opportunity and aim to sustain growth in both areas."
In conjunction with Johnson's Helmet of Hope, Lowe's will run a special No. 48 Lowe's/Jimmie Johnson Foundation paint scheme at the Auto Club Speedway race in October. This marks the fifth-consecutive year that Lowe's has run the foundation paint scheme.

Early Arrival
While on duty as a nurse in the obstetrics department at the hospital, I was checking a young mother-to-be. "Is this your first baby?" I asked her.
"Yes," she answered calmly.
"Are you having any contractions or pressure?" I continued.
"No," she stated.
"Are you having any discomfort?"
Again the response was no. Laying my equipment aside, I said, "Honey, may I ask you why you're here?"
"Today is my due date!" she replied happily.

An autopsy today on the missing Northwestern University student whose body was found in Wilmette Harbor Thursday reports the victim died of an accidental drowning but the manner of death is undetermined.
The body of 18-year old Harsha Maddula was discovered around 7 pm. Thursday evening in the water between two boats near the Sheridan Rd bridge.
His wallet, identification and cellphone were found in his pants pocket.
No signs of foul play were found on the body.
Students on campus today say they were holding out hope that Maddula would have been found alive.
Maddula's family members, who flew-in from New York to aid in the search, said they believe he did not kill himself or that his disappearance for six days was a result of a rare form of diabetes.
The Cook County Medical Examiner's office had no additional information about what may have led to the sophomore's death.

N.C. home-school regulations too lax, missing teen is proof
The nation now knows about the missing teen from North Carolina – missing nearly two years without having been reported missing.
If she had been in a public school system, someone from the school would have questioned her whereabouts.
But she was home-schooled, and even her adoptive mother said on national TV that N.C. home school requirements are very lax and did not require accountability for this teen.
North Carolina should return to requiring all children to attend public or accredited schools before more of our children fall through this crack.

City's closing of Trade Street for streetcar prep infuriating
Trade Street and Elizabeth Avenue have been partially or completely closed for months on end in the name of doing electrical and stormwater work to prepare for the streetcar line.
One of the purported rationales for the streetcar was "development" along the route. This never made sense, as the Trade Street portion, and much of the Elizabeth Avenue portion, was already fully developed.
I now understand: Keep the construction going so long that all businesses along those routes fail, making it ripe for redevelopment.
What other explanation can there be? The Observer ought to be asking the City what gives – and let the rest of us know.

In response to "The showdown over the shutdown" (Aug. 22 Editorial) and related articles:
Push to shut down government over Obamacare is irresponsible
Shutting down the government or defaulting on the debt is anarchy. It is irresponsible to advocate such ideas as a leader of our country.
Irresponsibility is also not a "conservative" value. To be conservative implies that you believe in order and stability.
To be conservative implies that you are not interested in upheaval or societal dysfunction.
There is not much that passes for conservatism today that my grandfather would recognize.

A mistake to rush Obamacare, we'll all pay a high price later
It's sad that the rush to just "get it done" on Obamacare outweighs the importance of doing it wisely and properly.
Of course it's always easy to modify it, delay part of it, apologize for the errors – after the whole poorly written law creates numbing changes in how companies and individuals have to deal with it.
Bill Kniegge
In response to "Rebels: Chemical attack killed hundreds" (Aug. 22):
Don't repeat mistakes of past, get facts on Syrian attack first
The United States needs to do three things in this matter:
1. Be absolutely sure a chemical agent was used.
2. Be absolutely sure we know which side used the agent.
3. Take immediate and severe punitive action against the user.
Chemical agents are way over the line. War is bad enough without adding to its brutality.
Let's not go off half-cocked like we have done at times in the past.

Pass the farm bill now, land conservation programs at stake
The writer is a Mecklenburg Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor.
Time is running out for Congress to pass a five-year farm bill. Only eight legislative days remain before the deadline.
In Mecklenburg County we have 200-plus farms, huge nursery operations, land in conservation, and soil erosion and stream pollution we need to deal with.
Failure to pass a farm bill means potentially devastating cuts to conservation funding, as well as funding for the Wetlands Reserve Program, and grassland programs.
Producers deserve a long-term framework to manage their land, resources and businesses.
Not passing a farm bill will have serious, irreversible impacts on the future of conservation in America.

Voting law changes put N.C. in another league, not a good one
With its full inventory of voter suppression laws added to its blatant gerrymandering, North Carolina Republicans have moved the state into a league with those other paragons of electoral democracy, such as Zimbabwe, Venezuela and Russia. Nice going guys.
John Huson
'Doing what they were elected to do?' This voter disagrees
North Carolina's lawmakers are swiftly and thoroughly implementing decisions that negatively affect minorities, the poor, the unemployed, women and teachers via dramatic changes to voting procedures, public aid, pay cuts and freezes, etc.
In response to the outcry from those opposed to these measures, I've heard N.C. politicians accuse the opposition of being "sore losers" and call the Monday protests "Moron Mondays."
Some of them have also said they are just doing what they were elected to do.
I am not sure who they are representing, but it sure isn't me.

MONTREAL — Transport Canada has ordered a reduction in the speed limit for Canadian National trains carrying crude oil through a South Shore municipality after tracks in the area were found to be in extremely poor condition.
As of late last week, all CN trains that pass through a specific six-kilometre stretch in Sorel-Tracy must reduce their speed to 16 kilometres per hour, down from the previous limit of 40 kilometres per hour. Railway speed limits, set by Transport Canada, vary across the island of Montreal and in the surrounding regions.
"Following an inspection of the Sorel subdivision that took place during the week of August 18, specifically Tuesday to Thursday, Transport Canada issued a Notice and Order for a portion of this subdivision," said Jana Régimbal, a spokesperson for the office of federal Transport minister Lisa Raitt.
Régimbal confirmed that the change was made in response to "the track condition" in Sorel-Tracy, located about 80 kilometres northeast of Montreal.
That condition has been described as "pitiful" by Vachon MNA and Parti Québécois transport critic Martine Ouellet.
"Citizens and elected officials in the region are worried, and with good reason," Ouellet said in a release issued Saturday. "Considering the pitiful state of the rails and the increase in rail traffic, Transport Canada must tell citizens and elected officials what action has been taken to ensure the security of residents."
Energy giant Suncor began shipping huge amounts of crude oil by train along the South Shore to Sorel-Tracy in mid-July. Once it arrives, the oil is off-loaded at a storage facility operated by Kildair Service ltée, which has the capacity to receive up to 60 rail cars per day. The facility is currently receiving about half that number, which works out to over 2.8 million litres of oil travelling along the stretch of track between St-Lambert and Sorel-Tracy each day.
South Shore residents, noting both the deterioration of the tracks and the sudden upswing in dangerous materials passing through their towns, raised the alarm earlier this summer.
In response to the increased traffic, CN — which is responsible for inspecting and maintaining its rail lines — has fast-tracked $9 million in repairs that were scheduled to take place next year. According to CN spokesperson Louis-Antoine Paquin, work began on Sunday to replace the stones (ballast) beneath the railway and to replace about a third of the wooden ties that run between the metal rails along the track. CN will also be completing repairs on two bridges, said Paquin, and installing new sensors that detect over-heated wheels and alert a train's crew the instant a wheel loses contact with a rail.
But simply repairing the existing problems isn't enough for community organizations like Alerte Pétrole Rive-Sud, which is calling for a moratorium on all transport of crude along the corridor until bigger changes are implemented.
"The fact that they've announced major work along the rail line tells us that there are major problems along the rail line," said Alerte Pétrole Rive-Sud spokesperson Rémi Tremblay. "And yet trains continue to move (along the lines). We don't understand why."
Once the work is complete, Tremblay predicted, "they'll simply increase the volume of the convoys."
Longueuil's city council recently passed a motion calling for the creation of a South Shore regional committee that would study rail safety and the transportation of hazardous materials, Tremblay noted.
"We need to wait for the committee's conclusions, that's what we're saying."
Alerte Pétrole Rive-Sud is also calling for an independent body to conduct railway inspections.

This is Part II of II Part Webinar Series on "How Generation and Gender Impact Physician Engagement"
Charlotte, NC (Vocus) August 26, 2009 -- Morehead, the human capital research firm, will host a webinar titled "He Said…She Said: How Gender Differences Impact Physician Engagement." The free hour-long webinar will be broadcast on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. EST.
In this second of a two-part webinar series, David Rowlee, Ph.D., Morehead's Vice President, Physician Research Services, and Megan Medvedeff, Ph.D., Morehead's Client Consultant, will discuss how gender factors impact physician engagement. Research confirms a meaningful connection between physicians' job satisfaction, their loyalty to the health system, and level of engagement. Not surprisingly, male and female physicians see the world differently in many ways, especially in how they perceive nurses, hospital administration, hospitalists, and work-life balance. In order to engage both genders, hospitals must understand these differences and how to address them.
In this webcast, participants will learn:

I love my P2000 SK...obviously, I've put my trust into it as it's my EDC weapon.
For those that own one (or who have fired one) - I was a bit worried about getting to the mag release under pressure at first...it's a bit awkward, but once you're used to it, it's a plus IMO...a quick tap w/my middle finger and I'm on my way.
So, HKers...why do you carry HK?
Curious as to why there's not many here w/HK EDC weapons...I assume cost is the biggest factor...I'd put just as much faith in a Glock (and others) to perform when needed...or is there something y'all know that I don't?
