Huffington Post senior media reporter Michael Calderone is raising questions about a Washington Post report that named and implicated a White House volunteer in the 2012 Secret Service prostitution scandal based largely on an unnamed "eyewitness," without substantial corroborating evidence. The White House volunteer had been investigated and cleared of wrongdoing, as other media outlets had noted in 2012 reports that protected his anonymity.
The Washington Post reported on October 8 that in addition to several Secret Service agents and members of the military who were punished for hiring prostitutes during a 2012 presidential visit to Columbia, then-White House volunteer Jonathan Dach may have engaged in similar activity. The Post's evidence was a single anonymous Secret Service agent who "said he saw Dach with a woman he believed was a prostitute," and a hotel record that stated Dach had registered a woman into his room. The White House had investigated in 2012 and cleared him after determining that Dach denied any wrongdoing, that Dach's fellow White House travel aides reported no wrongdoing, and that the hotel records were inaccurate and had previously triggered the erroneous allegation that an innocent Secret Service agent had brought a prostitute to his room.
So why then did the Post decide to name him now, two and a half years after it broke the news of the scandal and 9 months since reporters began communicating with his attorney? Letters obtained by The Huffington Post show the attorney, Richard Sauber, rebutted the claims and offered countervailing evidence in letters sent to top Post editors. The decision to publish Dach's identity regardless raises questions about the threshold news organizations must meet when revealing the name of someone accused of lurid activity without independently confirming the claims.
Though The Post did not conclude that Dach hired a prostitute, it nevertheless crafted its story in a way that could give the impression of guilt or impropriety. ... Sauber denied the allegations and expressed concern that the inclusion of Dach's name in a story on the prostitution scandal could significantly damage his professional future. Sauber wrote on Jan. 16 that the publication of the charge "will be devastating to this young man just as he embarks on his career after law school."

Fox News media critic Howard Kurtz echoed his colleague Shepard Smith's admonishment of media for irresponsible Ebola coverage, highlighting his own network's reporting failures.
Kurtz called out media figures like Fox host Bill O'Reilly, who has demanded the resignation of CDC director Tom Frieden, for reducing their response to Ebola "to a question of which heads should roll."
He contrasted coverage like O'Reilly's to that of Fox's Shepard Smith, who made headlines this week for blasting media's "irresponsible" and "hysterical" Ebola coverage. Smith "challenged his own profession to stop scaring people," Kurtz explained, asking, "Will the media listen?"
From Kurtz's October 17 column:
There's a growing media drumbeat on how to fix the Ebola crisis.
Tom Frieden should resign!
[D]oes anyone really believe that turning CDC over to an acting director will quickly boost the agency's performance?
Bill O'Reilly has demanded that Frieden be fired, calling him the "chief propagandist" for the "dumb and dangerous" approach of expecting airport screening to be able to keep infected people out of the United States.
Another doctor, Fox contributor Manny Alvarez, says:
"I am more convinced than ever that CDC director, Dr. Tom Frieden is not the right person for the job. And I say this because this latest press conference consisted of him telling a room of reporters what anyone who has ever dealt with Ebola in the past should have known...
"Frieden showed up late to the game again on Ebola, which is not acceptable when lives are at stake."

Fox News' Megyn Kelly dishonestly criticized the Obama administration for allegedly endorsing an anti-terror handbook which advises against referring to terrorists as "jihadis," as it "emboldens them," failing to mention that the Bush administration made a decision to stop using the word "jihadist" to describe terrorists in 2008.
On the October 15 edition of The Kelly File, Kelly hosted National Review Online's Andrew McCarthy to discuss the State Department's Twitter "endorsement" of a handbook that aims to prevent the recruitment of young people by terrorist groups. Kelly quoted the handbook, which was created by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and two Canadian Muslim organizations, as saying jihad is "noble," and said that "our State Department sends this out saying, enjoy." McCarthy stated that this is "the position of the Obama administration. It has been from the beginning of the administration," and criticized CIA chief John Brennan for saying in 2010 that "we can't use the word 'jihad' in connection with terrorism because jihad is a noble concept in Islam."
But this shift in language used to discuss terrorism predates the Obama administration. In May 2008, UPI reported that "U.S. officials are being advised in internal government documents to avoid referring publicly to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups as Islamic or Muslim, and not to use terms like jihad or mujahedin, which "unintentionally legitimize" terrorism." The report continued:
Instead of calling terror groups Muslim or Islamic, the guide suggests using words like totalitarian, terrorist or violent extremist -- "widely understood terms that define our enemies appropriately and simultaneously deny them any level of legitimacy."
By employing the language the extremists use about themselves, the guide warns, officials can inadvertently help legitimize them in the eyes of Muslims.
"Never use the terms 'jihadist' or 'mujahedin' ... to describe the terrorists," instructs the guide. "A mujahed, a holy warrior, is a positive characterization in the context of a just war. In Arabic, jihad means 'striving in the path of God' and is used in many contexts beyond warfare. Calling our enemies Jihadis and their movement a global Jihad unintentionally legitimizes their actions."
"There are some terms which al-Qaida wants us to use because they are helpful to them," Daniel Sutherland, who runs the Department of Homeland Security Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, told United Press International in an interview.
"This is in no way an exercise in political correctness ... we are not watering down what we say."
Fox has attacked the Obama administration for adopting this uncontroversial understanding of jihad in the past. In 2013, Sean Hannity asked if Brennan was "stupid and naïve" for describing jihad as a legitimate tenet of Islam. In 2010, Fox host Brian Kilmeade called a ban on references to jihad "insulting" -- again, without noting the Bush administration's similar policy, which former Bush advisers said laid the groundwork of the Obama administration policy.
Conservative media are denying recent reports that sliding financial support has stalled research on infectious diseases and vaccine development, ignoring evidence that funding shortfalls have handicapped the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The director of the NIH, Dr. Francis Collins, told The Huffington Post on October 10 that "a decade of stagnant spending has 'slowed down' research on all items, including vaccinations for infectious diseases." Conservative outlets pivoted off of Collins' statement to misleadingly claim that an overall increase in the CDC's budget proves that a lack of funding has not hindered research on and the response to diseases like the Ebola virus.
On the October 14 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, host Steve Doocy said that the "CDC budget wasn't cut at all" and told viewers to "remember that money to [the CDC and the NIH] actually went up rather than got cut." On the October 13 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh similarly argued that "the CDC got plenty of money," including "significant budget increases."
But both the NIH and agencies inside the CDC have experienced funding problems over the past decade. As The Huffington Post pointed out, the NIH's purchasing power has dipped significantly:
NIH's purchasing power is down 23 percent from what it was a decade ago, and its budget has remained almost static. In fiscal year 2004, the agency's budget was $28.03 billion. In FY 2013, it was $29.31 billion -- barely a change, even before adjusting for inflation. The situation is even more pronounced at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, a subdivision of NIH, where the budget has fallen from $4.30 billion in FY 2004 to $4.25 billion in FY 2013.
Fox News ramped up its attempted character assassination of CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden with direct calls for his resignation, suggestions that he is uninformed on the spread of infectious disease, and a comparison of the public servant to Saddam Hussein's one-time propaganda minister.
On the October 14 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, contributor Laura Ingraham attacked Dr. Thomas Frieden, the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), for his handling of public relations in the wake of the first confirmed case of Ebola contraction in the United States. Ingraham assailed Director Frieden, claiming that he "is on the verge of becoming the Baghdad Bob of the health care community," and claimed that he seems less like a health care professional and more like a member of "the Obama spin room." Co-host Brian Kilmeade joined the attack, claiming the Frieden talks to the public "like children" before promoting the idea of appointing former Republican Senator Bill Frist to run the United States' Ebola response:
Ingraham's use of "Baghdad Bob" is an allusion to former Ba'ath Party spokesperson and Iraqi Information Minister Muhammad Saeed Al-Sahhaf, who gained international notoriety in 2003 for repeated and obviously false claims that American troops were being rolled back by the defensive forces of Saddam Hussein's regime.
After spending much of 2009 complaining that President Obama's appointment of "czars" was akin to the crowning of monarchs and Russian practices, Fox & Friends is now calling for the appointment of an Ebola Virus czar.
Fox host Steve Doocy responded to news of the first Ebola diagnosis contracted within the U.S. by calling for an "official Ebola czar" on the October 13 edition of Fox & Friends, echoing the demand of Republican Sen. John McCain. According to Doocy, "We probably need one" because Obama isn't doing enough to fight the virus:
DOOCY: So every time there's an incident like this, you see Thomas Frieden, the guy who heads up CDC, but is he the official -- there he is right there -- Is he the official Ebola czar? We probably need one, because the president isn't, you know, he's not --
KILMEADE: Sen. McCaul is calling for one.
DOOCY: Absolutely. So with all this bad news --
KILMEADE: Congressman McCaul.
DOOCY: Where was the President of the United States over the weekend? Right after he talked to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, he went golfing.
But the Fox program has a long history of mocking previous Obama administration czars.
In 2009, then-host Gretchen Carlson mocked the term and alleged, "You know when I looked up 'czar' in the dictionary, or Googled it, the word that came up was 'king.' And I was wondering to myself, why we are having so many czars/kings now in America?" Doocy added, "When you think about it, 'czar' is a Russian word." Fox then aired an altered graphic of Obama's cabinet members in Russian czar attire displaying the question, "And Now We're Russia?" Doocy went on to compare administration cabinet members to Russian monarchs:
The same year, Carlson asked whether czars in the Obama administration were "just friends of Obama who need work or payback a favor?", while Kilmeade previously questioned whether the appointment of a czar was evidence "of a new culture of corruption."
From the October 10 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File:

Fox News is drawing sweeping and unsupported conclusions to accuse the White House of covering up a volunteer's role in a 2012 Secret Service prostitution controversy. Fox's "bombshell" claims are undermined by the fact that it has long been known that a White House volunteer was implicated in the controversy, and by the fact that a bipartisan Senate committee did not substantiate allegations that the White House tampered with an independent investigation into the controversy for political reasons.
Fox News analyst Peter Johnson Jr. suggested that the government was at fault for the shortage of ZMapp, an experimental Ebola treatment yet to be approved for widespread public use, and slammed the first U.S. diagnosis of an Ebola patient as a "poor example of federal government intervention." But in truth, the government has "set records" in approving drugs to address Ebola outbreaks and has provided crucial funding for research and development.
On the October 7 edition of Fox & Friends, host Steve Doocy and Johnson discussed why there is a current shortage of ZMapp, suggesting that a reliance on federal grants by the pharmaceutical company who produced the medication may be to blame for the shortage. Johnson faulted the Centers for Disease Control and Preventation (CDC) for not having the capacity to produce more of the drug and slammed the fact that ZMAPP has been "supported by federal grants only." He went on to suggest that if the government is "not doing the job they should be doing," perhaps they should be "stepping out of the way and let private industry do it":
But Johnson ignored the fact that the federal government has greatly sped up the drug approval process in order to address the public health threat posed by Ebola. According to an October 6 article from The Hill, the FDA recently approved the use of two experimental drugs that treat Ebola -- an act that "set agency records" for a process that "typically takes years."
The reason ZMapp shortages have occurred is not due to government failure, as suggested by the Fox figures. As ZMapp manufacturer Mapp Biopharmaceautical noted, the drug's production has been slow because "Ebola is a relatively recently discovered disease with sporadic outbreaks," and "most new drugs take a decade or more of development work prior to commercialization."
Long production times are also at fault for the shortage of ZMapp. An October 5 article from CBS News explained that the drug is made from a special "biologically-engineered tobacco" that takes some time to grow:
Making more ZMapp takes a long time because the drug is made from a certain type of biologically-engineered tobacco that's currently being grown at Kentucky BioProcessing, in Owensboro, Kentucky. "It takes time for tobacco to grow; it's a certain kind of tobacco," said Turner. "It's very special, and has been carefully developed to produce authentic human proteins faithfully." He declined to estimate how much longer it would take, or how big the supply would be. Turner added that his team is currently reviewing other ways they could feasibly produce the drug at a faster rate.

Conservative media have rallied around calls to enforce travel bans from countries in West Africa affected by the Ebola epidemic, despite the fact that medical and military experts have repeatedly noted that travel bans would hamper relief efforts and impede workers' ability to properly address the outbreak.

Rate Dr. Shon W. Cook
Dr. Shon W. Cook's Ratings
I felt very disrespected by Dr. Cook after going to his office. I heard him saying nasty things about another patient on the other side of the door before coming in to address my problem. I have been going to many doctors to figure out the issues with my back and it is a very hard for me and my family since we cannot find a solution. We were recommended to Dr. Cook as an option and he treated us like a waste of his time since surgery is not the answer. I am sure he is great in surgery which is luckily not the solution for my problem but he has terrible bedside manner. I normally do not post reviews but I felt it was necessary to warn others about this poor attitude of Dr. Cook.

I felt well informed about the procedure and confident in his surgical ability. I had no complications afterward. I was impressed that he phoned me the following weekend to check on how I was doing. Someone from the surgical center called also and I was asked to fill out and mail back a questionnaire awhile after the surgery. I had a good experience and would recommend this doctor to others.

What a blessing!! My mother had a stroke last year. We where extremely fortunate that Dr. Cook was on call at SW Medical in OKC when she arrived at the hospital. Dr. Cook cancelled his clinic and rushed to the hospital to check on her status. As soon as the doctor arrived and saw mom she "crashed" again and he immediately sent word to get the OR ready. He performed a craniotomy to relieve the pressure on her brain. Mom is nearly a year post op and is able to walk and function fairly well. It was a blessing that Dr. Cook was has the skills and training to react as quickly as he did to save her. He definitely saved her life that day. I also know of some friends that have had treatments or surgery from Dr. Cook and have also had excellent results.

After speaking with Dr. Cook, sudden and unexpected brain surgery was scheduled in 3 weeks. After speaking with him, my family and I were completely at ease. I was never scared. Had complete confidence that the surgery would go perfectly. It did. I only took 1 week off work, had very little discomfort and returned to normal activities, even back to the gym within 3 weeks following a Craniotomy. I wish everyone concerned about me would have had the opportunity to visit with him as they were far more worried than I was. Unbelieveable experience, Dr. and Staff!

Dr. Shon Cook and his staff are wonderful! Having been through 2 brain surgeries, (one for a colloid cyst removal, & the other to move a vein off of a nerve that caused twitching), I feel that I know them well. He and His staff are all most professional, caring, and knowledgeable. I have and will continue to tell everyone I know that they are the "Best of the best". Dr. Cook and his staff spent time with me explaining the procedures, making sure I was comfortable with each process. Believe me, I made a few nervous calls. Each time I spoke with someone~ either Misty, or even Dr. Cook himself, (who sometimes had to call me back). My questions were always answered. His bedside manner was both caring and reassuring. When contemplating a second surgery, I looked no further. I had FULL confidence in his ability!! Dr. Cook knows his stuff, He actually helped design the tool he uses for endoscopic brain surgery. Cool, Huh? I strongly feel like he was Heaven sent... Our God is Good!!

I am more than incredibly impressed with Dr. Cook and his office. The office staff is the best I have ever worked with, Dr. Cook was able to figure out how to fix my problem when in 4 years no one else could and his PT prayed with myself and my family which told me they appreciated thay what they were doing was life changing for my family and me.

Home → Accessibility → Policies & Standards → Website Accessibility Policy → Guideline 14
Web Accessibility Policy of the State of Maine
Back to Policy Table of Contents
Implementation Guidelines
14. Applets and Plug-Ins
14.1 – Avoid plug-ins if possible, but when necessary use accessible applets or plug-ins.
"Applets" and "plug-ins" refer to a variety of newer web technologies, such as Java and Flash, that can be used to create advanced, interactive content on web pages. Both require additional software to be downloaded, installed, and run before the content can be viewed or used. Applets and plug-ins also operate with their own user interfaces, which are separate and different from that of standard web pages.
Because applets and plug-ins have their own interfaces, they must be accessible in and of themselves. If essential content or functionality is presented using an applet or plug-in that is not accessible, it will not be usable by individuals with disabilities.
Check with the manufacturer and/or developer of each applet or plug-in to determine if and how the technology is accessible. Whenever a link is provided to content that requires an applet or plug-in, the text should indicate the applet or plug-in that is required and provide a link to an accessible download site for the plug-in (e.g., "Flash Player 6 required to view the presentation."). If an accessible applet or plug-in is available, provide users with a link to any special instructions or software that is necessary.
Ref: WCAG 8.1; 508 m
14.2 - If an inaccessible applet or plug-in must be used, provide an accessible alternative that includes the same content and functionality.
If an applet or plug-in is inaccessible, it may be possible to provide both the original applet or object and an equivalent accessible alternative.
The same features that make an applet or plug-in inaccessible to some users may actually improve accessibility or usability for users without, or with different, disabilities. By providing both the original and accessible versions, the same content and functionality can be available to all users.
Wherever a link is provided to an inaccessible applet or object, also provide a link to an equivalent accessible version. Make sure that the information and functionality is completely equivalent and up-to-date. Be sure to consider whether the inaccessible version is actually necessary.
In cases where it is impossible to create an equivalent accessible version, such as with some geographical imaging and mapping systems, exceptions may be necessary.
Ref: WCAG 6.2, 11.4; 508 k

Kass: Money Doesn't Talk, It Swears
Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying....Old lady judges watch people in pairs
Limited in sex, they dare
To push fake morals, insult and stare
While money doesn't talk, it swears
Obscenity, who really cares
Propaganda, all is phony-- Bob Dylan, " It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"
Arguably "It's Alright, Ma" is the best written Bob Dylan song. It was written in 1964, covered by Roger McGuinn on the soundtrack for the 1969 movie Easy Rider and performed regularly by Dylan and The Band on the 1974 tour during the Watergate scandal.
The song is 20 stanzas long, and the rhyming, imagery and emotional depth are unparalleled. It is dark in content -- a message from the mid-1960s, shedding light on society's flaws. The song starts with an apocalyptic tone, which was not only a recurring Dylan theme early in his work but it was also a sign of the times. The body of the song deals with the remorseless working of things -- that whatever is wrong can't be stopped. No doctrinaire optimism will turn the ship around by itself. In the fifth stanza, Dylan relates how the actions of powerful people impacts us all.As some warn victory, some downfallIn the first line below, Dylan sings that if you've read enough history and/or have been a keen enough observer of human nature, you kind of learn what to expect. The second line might be a warning to watch out for people's partisan political agendas.
Private reasons great or small
Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl
While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred
An' though the rules of the road have been lodgedHe dishes it out to both optimists and pessimists and their partisanship hang-ups. Later, in the reference to the president of the United States, the minstrel reminds us that even the most powerful are fallible. "Although the masters make the rules/For the wise men and the fools" points to the anger and disdain that Dylan has for policymakers. And "he not busy being born is busy dying," used by President Carter in his 1976 acceptance speech for the Democratic Presidential nomination and also by Al Gore, means that powerful people will be judged. Toward the end of "It's Alright, Ma" Dylan submits that a life unexamined is an empty vessel and is not worth living. Below is how I see Bob Dylan's message in the song and its application to the investment business:
It's only people's games that you got to dodge
And it's alright, Ma, I can make it
- Read enough history, Dylan relates, and you can learn what to expect in the future. (History and markets rhyme.) The song matches the massive importance we place upon our past and the events that have led us to where we are today and where we might be going into the future.
- Money has great influence, though sometimes its impact is perverse. Think of quantitative easing's impact on markets, the growing schism between the haves and have-nots, and the threat of screwflation that poses risks ahead. (Note: The Fed's legacy of Ben Bernanke might be judged harshly in the fullness of time.)
- The song does not express optimism in the possibility of political solutions. Think of our inert and partisan leaders in Washington and their unwillingness to address our cyclical and structural fiscal problems.
- We are all being fed a false picture of reality in terms of economic growth and corporate profit prospects. Think of the gap between rising P/E ratios and the lowly 10-year U.S. note yield.
- We shouldn't live our investment lives with our heads down and our eyes closed. The investment masses are sometimes ignorant of the fate that awaits them. Think of being a contrarian.
- As Socrates wrote, "the life which is unexamined is not worth living." Investors who don't have a zest for knowledge are doomed to poor investment returns. If you invest without the ambition to garner as much information as possible, you will not likely succeed... "you'd just be one more/Person crying."
While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir
Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher
But rather get you down in the hole
That he's in

Dr. Lorenzo Pelly, a board-certified physician with 36 years of experience, leads a team of laser-wielding technicians while providing relaxation and aesthetic services. A certified laser technician consults with patients to discuss their problems and concerns before laying out a custom treatment outline. Plans often center around the use of laser technology, which can support Laser Derm's virtually pain-free hair-removal, skin-tightening, and teeth-whitening treatments.
At Sudarshan Eye Experts, Dr. Alexander Sudarshan and his team of certified technicians aim to correct vision problems such as farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism through blade-free laser eye surgery. Once a preprocedure consultation determines that their baby blues are equipped to handle surgery, patients return to the office for comprehensive eye exams to ascertain their corneas' health and clock ocular 40-yard-dash times. During the surgery itself, lasers expertly reshape corneas in a humidity-controlled, air-conditioned chamber. 3-D ActiveTrak technology and a CustomVue light map helps ensure accuracy by instantaneously adjusting corrective lasers to minute, involuntary eye movements, such as those caused by breathing or tap-dancing eyebrows. At a follow-up appointment, the next day or soon after, doctors will check vision, eliminate eyedrops, and take other measures to ensure that brows remain free of eyeglass shackles.
Situated on the shores of Laguna Madre, South Padre Island Golf Club spans 6,931 yards of coastal, palm-tree-lined terrain. Though the seaside locale affords aces a veritable bunkerful of picturesque vistas, ocean winds and hole-hugging water hazards demand precise drives, pinpoint approaches, and earplugs to guard against caddying sirens. The course's challenging nature is tempered by five different tee options, making the links surmountable for developing divoteers but still engaging for workaday wedge wizards. Steer your included, obedient golf cart right along the coast on holes three through eight and gawk at the South Padre Island skyline, or reenact the most memorable events from the Texas Senior Open, which was previously hosted by the course. The club also houses a practice driving range, putting green, and a short-game area for testing windmill-thwarting mini-golf approaches.
While working as a firefighter and paramedic, CrossFit Brownsville owner Jonathan Jones counted on the CrossFit system to stay in shape for the grueling demands of his job. Today, he and his team teach the method to others, incorporating Olympic lifting, gymnastics, cardio, and resistance training into their workouts. That mix, combined with everyday motions, fosters a full-body workout, and one that readies participants for all kinds of physical activities. Instructors can scale CrossFit workouts to suit anyone, including grandparents, marathon runners, and those just getting into a fitness routine. To ease into the system, students start off with a three-day Fundamentals class that introduces CrossFit's fundamentals and techniques.
Galvan's Martial Arts' instructors possess a broad range of specialties. They combine striking arts such as karate and kicboxing with grappling-focused combat forms such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and aikido. And while the philosophy behind each technique may differ, the instruction also includes how to blend the different styles into a broader method of combat for use in mixed martial arts or practical self-defense.
The expert trainers of PÜR Fitness & Health work one-on-one with clients to create personalized workout regimens. They use all the gear in the well-stocked studio, incorporating TRX suspension training, weight lifting, and battling ropes. With boot camps, they combine the same intense workouts with the camaraderie of a group environment.

Cop raid nets blasters, detonators
Comment on this storyRustenburg - A Mozambican national has been arrested for possession of explosives in Boitekong, near Rustenburg, North West police said on Friday.
"On Thursday, members of the K9 Phokeng and Rustenburg explosives and bomb disposal unit followed up information about a certain house in Boitekong where explosives were apparently hidden," Colonel Sabata Mokgwabone said in a statement.
Police found five blasters, 18 electric detonators, and 50 blasting current indicators in the house.
Mokgwabone said the 28-year-old's arrest would help police crack syndicates involved in underground copper cable theft from mines.
The man was expected to appear in the Rustenburg Magistrate's Court on Monday on a charge of possession of illegal explosives.

Joining a growing list of western and New England states, Maine has just enacted a paint collection program for "post-consumer" paint. The law establishes the framework for a program – but it is unlikely to be established before July 1, 2015.
The good news: The program should apply to paint that a purchaser or user wishes to dispose of, regardless of hazard, and should be available to businesses as well as individuals. The limits: Containers of five gallons or less, and excludes industrial, original equipment or specialty coatings. The expected news: Fees will be added to the sale of new paint to fund the collection and recycling or disposal, projected to be in the range of 75 cents per gallon, or $1.60 per five-gallon container.
The delay until 2015 is necessary to allow paint producers to propose a program to the Maine Department of Environmental Protection, and for Maine DEP to review and approve the program. Over the next two years, the features of the program should become clearer.
Hoarding paint until collection is available in 2015 may be tempting, but would not be allowed if the paint would be a hazardous waste and held by anyone not a "household." Under those circumstances, hazardous waste rules would apply and require disposal.

Pop diva Beyonce kicked off the November 9th, 2008 World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco with drama and style.
Beyonce, a devout fan of British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, wore a getup from his Fall 2008 military-inspired collection and rocked it with cache, panache and a bad-ass femme fatale attitude.
The diva wore her Gareth Pugh Freddy Krueger-like hand accessories as she performed "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)."
Dresslikestarz noted, "Beyonce opted for a gold detailing and ornate trims set off slick military cut jacket from Alexander McQueen, perked up with shiny skinny leggings from Temperley London and strappy golden killer heels to create an ultimate military rock chic style!"
Check out more of Alexander McQueen's military-inspired couture in the gallery's last two photos.

The first edition of Radical Honesty became a nationwide best seller in 1995 because it was not a kinder, gentler self-help book. It was a shocker! In it, Dr. Brad Blanton, a psychotherapist and expert on stress management, explored the myths, superstitions and lies by which we all live. And this newly revised edition is even worse!
Blanton shows us how stress comes not from the environment, but from the self-built jail of the mind. What keeps us in our self-built jails is lying.
"We all lie like hell," Dr. Blanton says. "It wears us out...it is the major source of all human stress. It kills us." Not telling our friends, lovers, spouses, or bosses about what we do, feel, or think keeps us locked in that mind jail. The way out is to get good at telling the truth, and Dr. Blanton provides the tools we can use to escape from that jail of the mind. This book is the cake with the file in it.
In Radical Honesty, Dr. Blanton coaches us on how to have lives that work, how to have relationships that are alive and passionate, and how to create intimacy where none exists. As we have been taught by the philosophical and spiritual sources of our culture for thousands of years, from Plato to Nietzsche, from the Bible to Emerson, the truth shall set you free.

"Loved it!!!"
This is definitely in my top 3 books that I've bought on Audible.com.
My favorite part is when he tells why he wrote the book and what he wants from writing it. He speaks from the heart and says most things people won't say, but could, if they were being honest.
Not so much. I guess I was inspired at the idea of being honest and what it can do for your life, mentally, emotionally, and physically. I really related to what he was saying from where I was in my life and seeing that a lot of what holds me back or creates the way I feel is from withholding what is true for me.
I love the idea of being honest in as many areas of life as possible! It's not always going to be easy, and like they say anything worth earning takes some effort. I also like how he describes the difference between being and mind. A distinction that isn't always covered in western society, and yet from my experience is key to knowing "yourself" so you can be honest about "who you are".
"Super man!"
Han gjorde om mig till superman;)
Vissa tillfällen när jag lyssnade förstod jag allt ,tog åt mig osv.
tala sanning ,det ledde till bråk,därefter till skön tomhet.
Bra bok overall.dock läste han lite halv kasst
"Poor recording"
Yes. Brad Blanton is an though-provoking author. Unfortunately the recording is very bad.
One part of the book repeated... It may have been a whole chapter. Also, the way it was read was difficult to listen to.
The recording was poor.
"Worst book on auible"
No one. The book contains no real story. All there is is "tell he truth". That's it, I told you the whole content of the book. Plus, the narration is really bad, don't know how audible permits this. Not always the author is the best narrator. You can hear him pauisng and stopping, breathing. Volume goes up and down, etc.
That there is no story at all. Or that all can be said in "tell the truth to everyone". That's it.
Not at all. Waste of money and time. I didn't finish the book, I tried to listen to it until chapter 11. I couldn't more, it was so boring. Once I listen to it during insomnia; it worked fine.
Don't buy it.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

1939 - 2012
Walla Walla – Local Veterinarian, Dr. Perry Hugh Price Jr. , 73 passed
away September 1, 2012, at home surrounded by his loved ones.
Perry arrived in this world on his Mother's Birthday, April 3, 1939 in
Eugene, Oregon, to Perry H. Price Sr. and Gladys Bibee Price. His
formative years, with sister Linda, were spent in Big Arm, Montana
near his grandparents, Golden and Hattie Bibee. It was on their farm that Perry was set on his
path of life, caring for animals. He attended the one room school house, sometimes riding his horse to school and graduated from Wallowa High School in Oregon in 1957.
Spending summers in the Wallowa Mountains building trails for the US Forest Service helped him earn his degree at Colorado State University with his Doctor of Veterinary
Medicine Degree. Upon graduation in 1963, his first job was in Walla Walla, Washington until he was drafted by "Uncle Sam". From 1965 to 1967 Perry was assigned to the 3rd Army's 15th Field Hospital in support of the US Army's 82nd Airborne Division Inter-American Peace Force in
the Dominican Republic where he achieved the rank of Captain. In 1966 Perry and Freda Kay Harris were married on December 17 in Waitsburg, Washington.
With his service completion in 1967, they moved from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, to resume his career in
Hermiston and The Dalles, Oregon. In 1970 they purchased Blue Mountain Veterinary Hospital and the family returned to the Walla Walla Valley. Dr. Price practiced for the next 42 years until he closed the doors of his business but not his love for the animals and owners he had known.
Perry was a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Life Member of the Walla Walla Elks Lodge #287, member of the Waitsburg Gun Club and the National Rifle Association. His volunteer excursions with the Game Department and the Wild Life Rehabilitation work with Shirley Miller were the highlights of his veterinary practice.
Perry's greatest accomplishment was his family. He is survived by his wife at the home; two sons: Kelly Price,
Spokane, WA and KC Price (Svetlana Legetic), Washington, D.C.; his seven daughters: Sarah Price (Masayuki Nagao) of Tomano, Japan; Laura Price (Patrick Holtz); Mary Price (Craig Dreher); and Megan Price of Walla Walla, Washington; and his three daughters at home – Cailin, Ceriann, and Maillie Price. He was so proud of his grandchildren: Hana and Joshu Nagao, Liam Price-Dreher, and Griffon Price-Holtz. He is also survived by his sister, Linda, and brotherin-law Larry Prager of Fallbrook, CA; his nephews, Daniel and David Prager; his mother-in-law, Rose Harris and sister-in-law, Donna Harris, both of Spokane, Washington. He was preceded in death by his parents.
His family would like to thank all friends who have supported him and his family through his journey in life and his battle against cancer – especially Dr. Doug Dunham, the Providence St. Mary Cancer Center and staff, the doctors at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and Walla Walla Community Hospice.
Perry was not much for organized religion but he knew where he came from and where he was going. He liked the quote, "All Creatures, great or small, the good Lord Loves them All."
Memorial contributions are your choice through Mountain View-Colonial DeWitt, 1551 Dalles Military
Road, Walla Walla WA 99362; however, the family hopes you will consider those organizations in our community that serve cancer patients, their loved ones, and pets.
A Celebration of Life for Perry H. Price Jr. will be held at The Elk's Lodge, 351 E. Rose Street, on Saturday,
September 22, 2012 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon. Friends may write memories and sign the online guestbook at www.mountainview-colonialdewitt.com

CHARLES TOWN — Students return to the classroom Monday, but changes in middle school policies won't happen until the start of the 2015-16 school year.
Jefferson County Board of Education members on Monday decided to form a task force to find ways to better meet the needs of middle school students.
Board members made their decision following presentations by a number of speakers, including Lee Ebersole, school improvement specialist for the county; Wendy Lochner, coordinator of the office of school improvement for the West Virginia Department of Education; and John Hough, vice president of community relations at American Public University.
Hough, who has more than 35 years of K-12 and higher education experience, said not enough attention has been paid to middle school students.
He told the board that more research has been done on elementary and secondary students than on middle school pupils, but that the academic achievement a student makes by the eighth grade "has a larger impact than high school."
School superintendent Susan Wall said middle school students need special attention.
Board president Scott Sudduth said the board needs data on the performance of middle school students. Ebersole said that data was available and would be given to board members.
The board heard numerous requests for additional planning time for middle school teachers, but board member Gary Kable said extra time would mean additional costs. He emphasized that the school system budget is tight.
Wall said decisions from a task force would have to be made in the next few months because they would affect hiring decisions for the next school year.
Sudduth said he is compiling a list of task force members.

I've been using Format Factory, this is just as comprehensive and the configuration options are much more useful. The interface is clear and drag'n'drop is supported - the preview pane is a great idea. Seems fast too. Niggles? Not much - would like to change the icons and put it in the context menu, but then the look of Format Factory is much worse.. Excellent, thanks.

Lore has it that Hog Island – a little spit of land off the coast of Far Rockaway that was said to resemble the back of a hog -- was washed away in the hurricane of 1893. But though this story is trotted out every time New York City is threatened (like now) by another hurricane, contemporaneous sources suggest a more gradual end.
J.B. Beers, New Map of Kings and Queens Counties, 1886
The beginning of Hog Island, no less than its demise, has been subject to hyperbole. According to a New York Times article which appeared on December 17th, 1895, "Hog Island rose from the ocean in a single night, thirty years ago," i.e., in 1865. A more likely creation story is provided by Alfred H. Bellot, who writes in his History of the Rockaways that the island was "formed gradually by the ocean depositing sand on its westward sweep from Long Beach."
However fast or slow it may have formed, at some point after the Civil War, the "island" – actually a peninsula also known as Far Rockaway Beach -- was deemed well-enough established to support several bathing houses and "two or three restaurants furnishing refreshments and entertainment" (History of the Rockaways, p. 94-95). An 1874 article in the New York Times about local "Holiday Resorts" described Hog Island as "a sandy island several miles in length" on which "all the surf-bathing grounds [of Rockaway Beach] are situated," and reported that "the majority of the visitors to Far Rockaway spend almost all their time on the island, enjoying the cool ocean breezes to be found there, even in the most extreme heat."
On the night of August 23, 1893, a hurricane now classified as Category 2 triggered 30-foot storm swells off of Coney Island, flooding lower Manhattan and uprooting trees in Central Park. Although the storm did considerable damage, it did not, as has since been reported, destroy the entire peninsula. As late as 1902, Hog Island was still operating as a resort, as the Brooklyn Eagle reported after yet another storm hit the area in April of that year:
The bathing beach, which is known to the residents as Hog Island, is a long, low and narrow sandbar which lies several hundred feet off shore, with the waters of the inlet flowing between it and the mainland. A long footbridge leads out to it, all of which is owned by [James] Caffrey. Storms in the past have done considerable damage to the property and often threatened to wipe Hog Island off the map. Through all these trials and losses, the owner, James Caffrey, has been undaunted and has rebuilt and improved the sand beach every year. Even yesterday he had a number of men at work saving what was left of his holdings, and he promises to have everything in ship shape again when the season opens.
The final demise of Hog Island is apparently undocumented, but it seems to have washed away with the tides sometime in the 1920's.
When the Hotel Pennsylvania opened in 1916, it was the world's largest hotel, a stately complement to the grand Pennsylvania Railroad Station across Seventh Avenue. Its guests enjoyed a rooftop restaurant, Turkish baths, and Roman decorative flourishes. Now, close to a century later, it merely lingers while the building's owners make plans to replace it with a controversial skyscraper.
Hotel Pennsylvania, 1919. PR 042, McKim, Mead & White Architectural Record Collection
McKim, Mead and White, the firm that built the hotel, along with the original Penn Station, had a leading role in introducing Beaux-Arts architecture to American cities and towns. By the time it started work on the hotel, McKim, Mead and White had already made its mark throughout the country with buildings that gave the Gilded Age a classical and ornate setting.
Penn Station, however, which is considered by some to be the firm's masterpiece, met its end in 1967. The fate of the Hotel Pennsylvania depends on how quickly its owner, Varvato Group, is able to finalize plans to build a 1,215 foot tall tower in its place.

Naturally, preservationists have argued against this proposed demolition, and while their efforts may ultimately be in vain, we can at least say that the nearly 2,000 architectural drawings for the building are safe and sound in the Library's collection.
Detail, Bar Room, Hotel Pennsylvania Design Drawing. PR 042, McKim, Mead & White Architectural Record Collection
Starting in 2009 with a grant from the Save America's Treasures program, the New-York Historical Society is in the midst of an extensive project to preserve these as well as an estimated 58,000 other McKim, Mead and White drawings, all relics of an architectural golden age.

It may come as a surprise that the so-called concrete jungle of New York City has no fewer than 54 outdoor pools maintained by the Department of Parks and Recreation.
Astoria Park Pool. Geographic File, PR 020.
New Yorkers have been taking the plunge in the Big Apple since the late 1800s, when the state legislature passed a law mandating free bathhouses in cities with populations over 50,000. The state, along with then-Mayor William L. Strong, believed it was necessary to provide bathing facilities for families in overcrowded tenements, where sanitary issues were a major concern. Bath houses, the predecessor of the swimming pool, were initially used for cleansing and therapeutic purposes but became more geared towards recreation over the years.
Interior of Swimming Bath, Harper's Weekly, August 20, 1870. Geographic File, PR 020.
Along with bath houses, New York City also boasted "floating baths," along both the East and Hudson Rivers. These wooden baths were filled with river water and secured by pontoons, boasting dressing rooms for men and women. However, these scenic watering holes were short-lived because of the increased concern of river pollution and the limited number of seasons they could be in use.
Floating Bathhouse, Battery Swimming Baths (1939). Geographic File, PR 020.
In the 1930s and 1940s, under the direction of Parks Commissioner Robert Moses, the Parks Department became the authority of bathhouses and in conjunction with the Works Progress Administration (WPA) began a large scale project to create several grand bath houses and outdoor pool complexes. Each pool in the extensive project boasted cutting-edge techniques and were the epitome of architecture, design and cleanliness. The WPA pools functioned out of season as well, becoming venues for dancing, shuffleboard, ice skating and various other activities. Another major pool project happened in the 1970s with the construction of "vest-pocket " or mini pools and Olympic-sized pools in order to answer the increasing need of more recreational facilities. Today many of the City's original pools are still in operation and most have received a substantial face lift. Most residents tend not to realize these free oases that are literally in their own backyard. This summer pool season began on June 29th and will remain open through Labor Day.

BHUBANESWAR: The Mahatma Gandhi Marg (MGM) here turned into battlefield following a clash between some school teachers ( Gana Sikshyak) and police on Tuesday. Ten cops and 35 teachers, including some women, were injured in the skirmish.
Hundreds of Gana Sikshyaks, who have been sitting on dharna on MGM since the last six days, allegedly penetrated the police barricade and attempted to march towards the Assembly. The agitating teachers wanted to meet the school and mass education minister Pratap Jena, seeking fulfillment of their longstanding demands like regularization of jobs, hike in salary, training for untrained Gana Sikshyaks, etc. There are around 60,000 Gana Sikshayaks in Odisha.
All hell broke loose when police prevented the mob from heading towards the House near Lower PMG Square. Clash broke out as police used baton to placate the mob, causing injuries to some teachers. "Some teachers first pelted stones at our personnel, leading to injuries. We were forced to resort to mild lathicharge and spray water to defuse the mob," Bhubaneswar DCP Nitinjeet Singh said. "We had not intended to use force. Despite several appeals, the agitators broke the police barricade," Singh said.
Teachers said police misbehaved with them and tried to suppress their peaceful movement. "Police stopped us from meeting the minister and intimidated us when we insisted on the meeting," said Umakant Nayak, president of State Gana Sikshayak Mahasangha. "We were forced to challenge the security personnel as the latter misbehaved with women teachers," said Bishnu Narayan Panda, a teacher from Ganjam.
Nayak accused the government of creating such a situation, leading to violence. "The government has all along been indifferent to our demands since long. It is the government's inaction, which triggered clash between us and police," Nayak said.
After the scuffle, a seven-member delegation of the teachers went to meet chief secretary and other senior officials of the school and mass education department in the evening to iron out the crisis.

Turner Field
Attendance: None
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Joba Chamberlain was solid on the hill and Francisco Cervelli clubbed his first major league home run, as the New York Yankees doubled up the Atlanta Braves, 8-4, in the middle test of a three-game set from Turner Field.
Chamberlain (4-2) lasted 6 1/3 innings and gave up three runs -- two earned -- on seven hits while fanning five without a walk. Mariano Rivera struck out the final four batters to earn his 16th save of the year and the 498th of his illustrious career. "Mo" also had the second at-bat of his big league career, flying out with the bases loaded in the ninth.
Sparked by the ejection of manager Joe Girardi in the sixth inning for arguing a pick-off call, the Yankees snapped a three-game slide but are still 2-5 over their last seven. Nick Swisher added a solo homer for the Yankees, while Alex Rodriguez drove in a pair of runs. Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira had one RBI each in the triumph.
"The good news for me is I feel very good about the way my body has reacted the last two days. I think there is a lot of good things to come," said Rodriguez.
Kenshin Kawakami started and lasted three innings before Chamberlain hit a liner back to him that caused a contusion on the right side of his neck. Kawakami, who did not receive x-rays and is listed as day-to-day, had a perfect game going prior to his departure. Kris Medlen (2-3) absorbed the loss after yielding three runs on as many hits in 2 2/3 innings of relief.
Jeff Francoeur went 2-for-4 with a homer and knocked in a pair of runs for the Braves, who are 2-3 over their last five games. Martin Prado and Nate McLouth were responsible for the other runs in defeat.
"It was very weird. Medley (Kris Medlen) came in and did a great job. It just seemed like the ball didn't go our way tonight," said Braves catcher Brian McCann.
Trailing by a score of 4-3 in the eighth inning, Eric O'Flaherty was on the mound trying to keep the Braves in it. Damon and Teixeira singled before both moved up on a wild pitch. Rodriguez was intentionally walked and Robinson Cano hit into a 3-2 grounder, but the throw to first hit Cano in the back which allowed Teixeira to score and left runners on the corners.
Swisher then grounded out to score Rodriguez, giving the Yankees a 6-3 cushion.
Brian Bruney was on the mound for the Yanks in the home portion and walked leadoff man Chipper Jones. McCann and Garret Anderson were both retired but Casey Kotchman drew a free pass. Francoeur followed with an RBI single and Rivera was called in from the bullpen.
Damon had an RBI single and Teixeira an RBI double off Manny Acosta in the ninth to account for the final margin.
Francoeur opened the fifth inning with a homer to left field, making it 1-0.
Brett Gardner led the sixth off with a walk off Medlen to give the Yankees their first baserunner of the game. However, he was subsequently picked off even though the replays showed Gardner had gotten back to the bag before the tag was applied. That's when Girardi was ejected by first-base umpire Bill Welke.
Cervelli then took a 2-2 curveball over the fence in left to tie the game and end New York's 14-inning scoreless streak.
Chamberlain lined out but consecutive singles from Derek Jeter and Damon made it first and third. Teixeira then drew a walk to bring in Jeff Bennett from the bullpen before Rodriguez, mired in a 1-for-24 slump, clubbed a two-run single to center to give New York a 3-1 edge.
Swisher led the seventh off with a shot to left field that bounced off the top of the wall and over for a 4-1 Yanks lead.
The Braves rallied in the home seventh. Kotchman led off with a single before Francoeur popped up to Teixeira in foul territory. Kelly Johnson then laid down a sac bunt which Chamberlain fielded cleanly, but his throw to first was off the mark and all runners were safe. Pinch-hitter Prado offered an RBI single down the line in right.
Phil Coke was then summoned from the bullpen and gave up a sac fly to right, which cut it to 4-3, before getting Yunel Escobar to fly out to end the threat.

The problem is that I have one heating/ac unit for my house. It is controlled by a thermostat on the first floor. I have two story ceiling in my living room. I don't want my my bill to be super high but I also want my family to be comfortable. I have read that it is energy efficient to turn down your thermostat at night. This way when it gets cold, your heat isn't coming on and going off all night as much. Also at night most people are covered with blankets or comforters so the cold isn't a big deal to most.
I have a little one that isn't old enough to keep a blanket on her all night. Most of the time she kicks it off and when I check on her she is curled up like a ball because she is cold. I think that she is so cold that she as a restless night. We do try and dress her in warm PJs but she is still cold.
Right now I have my heat set to this. It always is a bit chilly in the house especially at night. My house is poorly insulated. I am paying a fixed rate of 63 cents per therm.
6 am 67F
10am 66F
4pm 66F
8pm 67F
11pm 66F
So is there a better way to set my thermostat so we can be more comfortable without jacking up my bill?
I am afraid if I jack up the temp by 2 degrees at night and maybe 1 degree during the day, my bill could be much higher. In the middle of the winter my bill is around $300 with the above settings. I do not want it to jump to say $400 or so.
By the furnace there is a diverter(don't know the actual name) that I can close off and divert all the heat to the downstairs. Heat will then rise so this makes sense BUT last time I tried this it seem to always be a tad bit cooler upstairs since no heat would come out of the vents upstairs.
I also tried using ceiling fans and even switching the rotation of them. Didn't really have any effect either.

Arizona Cardinals
Ray Horton: Interviews with Cardinals, Browns and Bills have gone well
Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator Ray Horton is in the midst of the interview process to become a head coach somewhere.
Thought to be a likely candidate to replace Ken Whisenhunt in Arizona, Horton has already twice interviewed with Cardinals president Michael Bidwill as well as the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills.
And, as Arizona Sports 620's Kyndra de St. Aubin is reporting, all three interviews went well.
Horton thought interview w/ Cards went really well & felt he didnt say anything or do anything 2 lose job
— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) January 2, 2013
Horton thought interview w/ Browns went extremely well-they called his agent after interview & said it was outstanding
— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) January 2, 2013
Horton says interview with Bills also went really well. Rapid fire question & answer session. Felt good about it.
— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) January 3, 2013
St. Aubin also tweeted Horton has not yet heard from two other prominent teams that are in search of a new head coach.
As of Wednesday evening Horton has still not heard from his agent about SD or Chiefs.
— Kyndra de St. Aubin (@Kyndra620) January 3, 2013
Horton interviewed for the St. Louis Rams vacancy last season, with the team brass apparently leaving very impressed. While he has been a coordinator for just two seasons, many believe he is ready to take over a team.
Monday, before news of Whisenhunt's dismissal was made public, some Cardinals players expressed hope Horton would not be leaving for a job somewhere else.

Respond to Review of Mildred's
by vegan girl 24
Review: i was so excited for this place after reading the reviews. however, my family and i were a little disappointed. the staff were terribly unfriendly-glaring at us for every word we said, not serving us at all really. we got the artichoke crostini which was fabulous-the spread it is served with is tasty. i got the ale mushroom pie with mushy peas which was delicious. my brother had the burger of the day which he liked and my dad had the burrito which wasn't that good. for dessert we got the apple/apricot crumble with custard on the side. the custard was fantastic. one of the best things i have had in a while. however, the boys left still feeling hungry, which was surprising with such a high bill. add that to the bad service and we didn't have the best experience.
