President Obama and I believe that every child deserves a world-class education. When the president says every child, it is not just rhetoric--he means every child, regardless of his or her skin color, nationality, ethnicity, or ability. The truth is, however, that virtually everyone professes to believe that all children deserve a world-class education.

I am pleased that the Department is issuing this Dear Colleague letter on athletic programs today. I think this reaffirmation of longstanding policy will help to bolster Title IX and assure that educational institutions that receive federal financial assistance do not discriminate on the basis of sex.

Chairman Harkin, Ranking Member Cochran, Members of the Subcommittee:
I planned to begin today by talking about education reform because there is a lot of good news to reportbut before I do I want to talk about education jobs.

If there is a message that I hope you will take away from today's conference it is this: The arts can no longer be treated as a frill. As First Lady Michelle Obama has said, "the arts are not just a nice thing to have or do if there is free time or if one can afford it... Paintings and poetry, music and design... they all define who we are as a people."

Secretary LaHood is a tough act to follow. But I am delighted to be here today to talk about a cause that is urgent and personalnot just for me but for all of us gathered here today. As President Obama has said, there are "any number of actions we can take as a nation to enhance our competitiveness and secure a better future for our people.

Classic Faucet
By Roxanne R. from Richardson, TX on Oct 20, 2009
We replaced the old cheezy bar faucet (installed by builder: skinny,shiny chrome that looked like it belonged on a dentist's spit bowl) with this one and it made a dramatic difference in the way that area looked. Also, since our bar is only plumbed with cold water, it is a lot more logical to operate. Since any throw of the lever delivers water and the lever is centered, it doesn't look like a mistake like a two lever faucet. This faucet also rotates, which is a great feature but not something we expected. The finish was as advertised, the operation smooth, and flow rate perfect for a bar. Very happy with it and wish we changed out years ago.

UFOs And Visits From Reptilian Dinosaurs
By Mike Perry
Let's think a little today outside of the norm. Something not to be taken too seriously but, there again, perhaps it should be! Let's start with dinosaurs. Though we can't be absolutely sure, scientists tell us they existed between 230 and 65 million years ago, see evolution website. In other words they were around for about 165 million years before they became extinct – probably following an asteroid collision, though there are other theories.
So that's the dinosaurs, now lets look at us Humans.
Homo Sapiens (modern man) are said to be about 40-50,000 years old, though human origins date back 3, 4 or 5 million years. All well and good. Dinosaurs lived for 165 million years and us humans for, say, 5 million years. Isn't there something odd about this? In 5 million years of evolution humans are what they are today, with our modern technology, trips to the Moon and Mars and so on. But what happened in the 165 million years of the dinosaurs evolution? Not much it seems.
Or did it?
This is where we start thinking differently. Supposing the dinosaurs did actually develop more than we believe. What if some of them did advance and started to use forms of tools and maybe developed technology, towns and … well, whatever. Remember they had 165 million years to do this – 33 times longer than humans. Okay, it does sound like fantasy land but what if they had developed space travel as well? With their technology they would be aware of that disastrous asteroid approaching so some would have left earth. Could, therefore, some of the occupants of UFOs, seen today, have originated on earth?……. continues

Meet Emory, the Peregrine Falcon!
Emory here is a small "soft" sculpture, and is completely original and one of a kind. Emory looks a little grumpy, but don't be fooled, it's just those dark broody falcon eyes that give the impression.
Emory has been hand crafted using epoxy, glass eyes, a wire armature, foam, and faux fur (no real fur used!), paint, and glue.
Emory is 4" tall.

The gorgeous 'Scandal' actress showed off her baby bump in a fun embellished crop top at the SAG Awards on Jan. 18, enjoying the fact that she doesn't have 'anything to hide' about her pregnancy anymore!
Kerry Washington absolutely glowed on the red carpet of the 2014 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Jan. 18, and her sparkly embellished top and high-waisted black skirt simply stunned! Kerry showed she has come a long way from hiding her pregnancy in oversized dresses and looser silhouettes, because she bared her midsection in a sophisticated pink crop top! Do YOU love her daring maternity fashion statement?
Kerry Washington Pregnant At SAG Awards — Prada Crop Top
Kerry, 36, looked so beautiful in a custom-made Prada design that featured a boxy crop top! Only Kerry could pull off such a daring statement look with ease and look like a total rock star!
"I don't have anything to hide anymore," she told E! News of her decision to bare her midsection.
The pink embellished top emphasized Kerry's pretty pregnancy glow, and really just made her sparkle! She kept her hair and makeup look super natural and pretty and let her blinged out outfit (and growing baby bump!) be the stars of her look.
Kerry Washington's Pregnancy Style
We love that Kerry is now embracing her pregnancy and flaunting her baby bump in all its glory!
Kerry previously hid her frame in oversized, drapey shift dresses and kept mum about the baby updates during the first few months of her pregnancy, but she officially confirmed her pregnancy and showed off her growing bump at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 12.
Kerry's maternity style philosophy is surprisingly simple: "I look for that things that fit," she told E! News. "That's the first rule—what fits."
She admitted that her pregnancy hasn't changed what's important for her to look for in her fashions. "I mean it's the same for me [from before pregnancy,] I just have to feel good in it and like it myself so that I feel comfortable all night," she explained of her style.
What do YOU think, HollyMoms? Do you think this is Kerry's best maternity fashion look yet?

Lindsay Lohan loses UK record contract due to laziness
Lindsay Lohan's partying lifestyle is not just affecting her movie work - it's affecting her pop career too.
Lindsay's British record company, Island, has decided to terminate their relationship with the star after she failed to promote her music in the UK.
An industry source told the Sun: "A single was a huge flop over here because Lindsay couldn't be bothered to get off her bum and promote it. In the end they didn't even bother releasing the album, called 'Speak', in Britain."
"She didn't bother to come over to the UK to do interviews or make TV appearances to help sell the album. Island have now decided not to do another one with her."

I personally think spectral evidence is a waste of time, energy, and breath. No one cares if you saw someone's uncles, or if the dog tells your best friend to make a deal with the devil. I think if it doesn't make sense it needs to be proven.
Taking people's word for it today would get you shot on sight, therefore, if you want to accuse someone of a horrid crime like choking you with them not even being in the same room, let alone surrounding area, maybe you should set up a hidden camera.
As for these moronic, bored girls of the 17th century, they're all in hell for being idiots so there's no need to worry about them.

Serena Williams will be fit to play in the Brisbane International later this month, according to tournament officials.
Williams had minor surgery on both big toes last week and subsequently withdrew from a scheduled exhibition match in Thailand on December 29.
With the Brisbane tournament starting the next day, the American's participation in the WTA's season-opener had been called into question.
However, having spoken to Williams' agent, tournament director Cameron Pearson said on Thursday that he expected the world number three to play.
"She'll be fit and ready for Brisbane," Pearson told AAP.
"She just needed a little bit more time than what the Thailand exhibition match gave her to be ready.
"I guess it's a bit of a compliment that she wants to tailor her preparation (for the Australian Open) around playing Brisbane."
The Brisbane International is due to feature eight of the world's top 10 players, including world number one Victoria Azarenka.

TV Use in Stillwater
Here's more about cable TV in Stillwater, PA than you were probably looking for, from the TV nerds at CableTV.com. For instance, did you know that a third of Americans own four or more televisions? That means that in Stillwater, there are 66 residents with at least four televisions in their home. American use of the DVR has jumped 7% since 2006, when it was only 2.2%, but there are still around 167 people who plan their viewing around a network schedule. And 72% of Americans bundle their Internet and cable subscriptions. That makes 145 residents with a bundled contract.

Is it Time for a New Radicalism?
The folks at ACTIVE have come up with an interesting idea. They're calling for a nationwide strike of citizens against the government, turning the international socialists' tactics against them and possibly launching a movement which will have even more impact than the Tea Parties have had.
At a time when the extreme left has become the establishment, those who support traditional American values of liberty and free enterprise are by default the radicals, just as we were in 1776 when we opposed the tyranny of British rule. I don't agree with all of the beliefs and methods which groups like ACTIVE and the Patriotic Resistence and Bureaucrash advocate, but this idea of adopting the methodology and rhetoric of the radicals of the 60s in the fight against the growing power of the leftist state in America is very appealing.
Back in the early days of the Libertarian Party this is very much the approach which we took. As editor and a columnist for Liberty magazine back in those days I was constantly writing articles which sought to capitalize on the enthusiasm of student radicalism and direct it against the terrible policies of the Carter administration. In the SLS we were borrowing ideas from the SDS which had preceded us by about a decade, and we were drawing on the hardcore anarchism coming out of the anti-government riots and the punk music coming out of England in the late 70s. At the time there was only so far we could go with the idea, because Carter's incompetence made his administration too soft a target and the entire dynamic changed when Reagan came into power and drew a lot of libertarians including myself more into the political mainstream.
The days of Reagan are long over now and the champions of liberty are the underdogs again. This time we have a statist establishment to oppose which is much more powerful and much more dangerous than Jimmy Carter ever dreamed of being. The time really is ripe for a liberty revolution, and the tactics of the revolutionaries of the past are now ours to use. The liberty movement has made a lot of strides in the last couple of years and generated a huge diversity of organizations and issue groups, both inside the Republican party and among independent voters, but it's clear that a lot of these groups are looking for opportunities to take action in more radical and dramatic ways.
The Tea Parties brought a lot of different groups together with a common goal, but their effectiveness is inherently limited and they have been successfully undermined by a media disinformation campaign to portray them as "astroturf" events because of the involvement of Republican party groups and big money advocacy groups like FreedomWorks. As an idea they have also lost momentum from being overused and have pretty much run their course as an effective protest campaign.
Whatever succeeds the Tea Parties needs to go even deeper into the grassroots and nothing could do this more effectively than a protest which is purely based on individual action. Instead of gathering together into a group and marching or rallying, every person can take action on his own, but coordinated on a nationwide basis. That's what makes something like a general strike such an appealing idea. If enough people can be involved to really represent the high level of dissatisfaction in the country, the results could be impressive and impossible to ignore.
The only problem is the timing. I assume that those who have proposed a date of November 4th picked that date because it's the one-year anniversary of the election and because it gives plenty of time to organize a nationwide protest. The problem is that by then it's likely to be too late for even a wildly successful strike to have any impact on the most serious threats from the Obama regime. If we don't stop Obama and Pelosi as quickly as possible we are going to be out of luck. Cap and Trade and ObamaCare will be done deals by November 4th and we'll be well and truly screwed as a nation. These socialist programs will never be reversed once they are implemented, so we need grassroots protest on a huge scale before the end of the Summer.
I love the irony of using classic radical tactics against this government, because the truth is that they may have started out as radicals, but they are now the establishment and we are the radicals. So grab a copy of Rules for Radicals, Steal this Book or Stir it Up and learn the tactics that used to drive our enemies, because they're ours now and it's time to turn the tables on them.
This nation was founded by radicals and it will take a new generation of radicals to reclaim our stolen liberty. Founding radical Sam Adams said: "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." We are the new irate minority – sons and daughters of liberty like Sam Adams – and a general strike might be just the kind of brushfire we need.
November 4 would be the worst possible date
All it does is underline the fact that power was lost at the ballot box - it delegitimizes the protest even as the protest is underway. And, anyway - what does a "strike of citizens against the government" look like? We all jaywalk? Block the entrance to the DMV so others can't get their driver's licenses renewed?
The only thing that matters is voting. The time and energy spent organizing this would be better spent developing local volunteer efforts in preparation for the 2010 elections. In the month before the last election the visits I received from "Vote for Obama" volunteers outnumbered those by "Vote for McCain" volunteers approximately 25 to 0. (The first number is a guess, the last number is a certainty.)

The WIAA began sponsoring a tournament program in girls hockey in 2001-02. Initially, six schools sponsored the sport as an interscholastic activity. In 2011, the number of programs has increased to 33. The qualifiers of the first tournament were Hudson, Viroqua/Cornerstone Christian/Westby/Youth Initiative, Fond du Lac/Waupun and Onalaska. Hudson won the first two championships. The Raiders defeated Viroqua/Cornerstone Christian/Westby/Youth Initiative, 3-2 in overtime, in the 2002 championship final. They defeated Fond du Lac/Waupun in the 2003 championship final by the same score in overtime. Fond du Lac/Campbellsport/Waupun won the title in 2004 by defeating Superior 2-1. Superior proceeded to win the 2005 championship with a 3-0 win over Onalaska.
Fond du Lac/Waupun won the title in 2006, and Appleton West/North/East captured the title in its first year as a program in 2007. The Mosinee co-op program with D.C. Everest, and Wausau East and West won the 2008 championship. The 2012 championship was won by the same group of schools but was identified as the D.C. Everest co-op. The titles from 2009-2011 were won by two different versions of the River Falls co-op program. The Mosinee co-op, renamed the D.C. Everest co-op in 2012, has seven appearances. Onalaska has participated in six of the State Tournaments with an additional three appearances as a co-op program. The Fond du Lac/Waupun co-op has been to seven State Tournaments, but the addition of Campbellsport to the co-op for two years and St. Mary's Springs for two years have created separate listings of teams to qualify. Superior has qualified for four State Tournaments. Three River Falls co-op combinations has also qualified four times. The River Falls Co-op has won the most games in State Tournament competition with six. The Mosinee, turned D.C. Everest Co-op, is next up with five wins. Hudson has won four games at State, and Superior, Fond du Lac/Waupun are next with five wins each. Twenty-seven different programs, including all variations of co-op programs, have qualified for the State Tournament. All 10 tournaments have been held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison in conjunction with the boys hockey State Tournament.

What's the difference between the two? I can see one has a 3.5mm" jack and the other is XLR - besides that, is there any difference?
Reply: The two mics sound the same when plugged into an unbalanced high-impedance mic input. The Sound Grabber II loses bass (low frequencies) when plugged into a low-impedance mic input (as in a mixer or audio interface), while the PZM-185 does not. In other words, the PZM-185 has better bass reproduction than the Sound Grabber when used with quality audio gear. Both mics sound the same in the treble (high frequencies).
I'd recommend the Sound Grabber II for camcorders and for recording meetings. The PZM-185 is better for recording music, plus it works on phantom power as well as its internal battery.

BLM releases scoping report on proposed Northeast Nevada Wild Horse Eco-Sanctuary |
ELKO, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Wells Field Office, has completed the Northeast Nevada Wild Horse Eco-Sanctuary Resource Management Plan Amendment and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Scoping Summary Report. The scoping report summarizes all of the issues raised and comments received during the initial public scoping period for the proposed Northeast Nevada Wild Horse Eco-Sanctuary. Three scoping open houses were held during the scoping period which ended Sept. 19, 2012. The comments received will be used to develop a range of alternatives for analysis in the EIS. The Scoping Report is available for review on the Elko District's website at www.blm.gov/rv5c, under the proposed Northeast Nevada Wild Horse Eco-Sanctuary Project Page. This scoping was the first opportunity for public involvement in the Resource Management Plan amendment/EIS process. The BLM will use the information collected to formulate alternatives and prepare the Draft RMP Amendment/EIS, which will be published in 2013. Release of the Draft RMP Amendment/EIS will be announced in a Notice of Availability in the Federal Register and in the local media, and additional public meetings will be held to solicit public comment on the draft document. The Northeast Nevada Wild Horse Eco-Sanctuary proposal is to create a wild horse eco-sanctuary of a non-reproductive herd on most of the existing Spruce Grazing Allotment, including about 14,000 acres of private land and 508,000 acres of public land, approximately 25 miles southeast of Wells, Nev. The wild horse eco-sanctuary would be operated by Saving America's Mustangs, a non-profit group, which has purchased the Spruce Ranch and acquired the associated grazing permit in the Spruce Allotment. The proponent also seeks to develop an eco-tourism operation in conjunction with the wild horse eco-sanctuary. For more information, please contact Terri Dobis, project manager at (775) 753-0290 or Lesli Ellis, public affairs officer, at (775) 753-0386. |
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to manage and conserve the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of multiple-use and sustained yield. In Fiscal Year 2013, the BLM generated $4.7 billion in receipts from public lands. |

Obama's health care act upheld
Employers urged to explore options
Debra Melani
In June, as health-reform advocates were dancing in the streets and opponents were vowing a re-energized fight following the U.S. Supreme Court's monumental upholding of the Affordable Care Act, Bill Lindsay was fielding an onslaught of calls from employers: What does this mean? What do I do? His answer: It's time for everyone, political opinions aside, to stop the foot-dragging and get prepared if they want to survive the health-reform ride that lies ahead.
"A lot of them have been sort of hoping and wishing that this would go away," said Lindsay, president of Lockton Employee Benefits Group. People are now finding that playing the waiting game in hopes that the law would be thrown out did not make good business sense, said Lindsay, who specializes in health reform.
Even with a renewed oath of repeal from Republicans and an intense November election likely, history shows dismantling major legislation doesn't happen quickly. "If businesses are waiting to see what happens, they could be waiting forever," said Dede de Percin, executive director of the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative. "As long as it's the law of the land, this is what we need to be doing."
For employers, that means bracing for increased costs and new regulations at the insurance-renewal table again this fall, planning for industry transformations such as the health insurance exchange, and finding the educational resources needed to keep them apprised and afloat.
Some business owners might be blind-sided by a number of new rules affecting them when renewing policies this year, many of which increase costs (see changes sidebar). "Some of them are soft costs, because they are purely administrative. But some of them are actually going to result in hard costs," Lindsay said. Just one example: Beginning this renewal period, all employers will face a fee of $1 per covered life (including spouses and dependents), which increases to $2 per covered life the following year. Neither Bob Deibel, president of a 350-employee group of companies that includes OfficeScapes, nor Tony Gagliardi, state director for the National Federation of Independent Business, was aware of the fee.
"The complexity of the law is so great and so deep, it's hard to find anyone, quite frankly, who really fully and completely understands top to bottom, A to Z," said Deibel, whose company recently went to a partially self-funded plan to help mitigate the changing pressures of the health industry. Gagliardi said his ignorance on the $1 fee exemplifies what employers will be facing: a number of surprise costs from the ACA. "There's like 26 hidden taxes in there, and I've only gotten through the first two. That's what happens when you have a plan written behind closed doors."
Most business owners won't be surprised to hear that they should gird for a premium increase, although, for the first time in years, the Colorado Division of Insurance has predicted an average increase in the single, not double, digits, at about 8 percent. The Department of Health and Human Services recently attributed the new federal rate-review process in part to the lower premium hikes, saying President Obama's law is working. Lindsay rejected the notion.
"That comment presumes that insurance companies are raising rates just whimsically," he said. In reality, rates are a reflection of past health-care costs and utilization, with the recent economic slump leading to the lower rates, Lindsay said. When times are tough, economists say, things like elective procedures and maternity rates fall, decreasing utilization. "And health care tends to be a lagging indicator," Lindsay said, explaining why, with signs of a recovering economy, the lower rates are hitting now.
But Commissioner Jim Riesberg, whose Colorado Division of Insurance began reviewing rate increases before the federal government did, doesn't discount the idea that the process serves as a motivator. "I think in order to avoid that review, some companies probably had a little sharper pen," Riesberg said. When linking the review process to lower rates, HHS noted that states reported a 4.5 percent decrease in the number of proposed rate hikes in the last quarter of 2011.
While the increase bucks Colorado's long double-digit trend, it's not likely to send employers into celebration mode. "We know premium rates have been increasing faster than inflation and wages in most areas," Riesberg said.
Moreover, the increase is just an average, Gagliardi said. "I got an email yesterday from one of my members who was just hit with another 17 percent increase. The only way they can get the rate back down is to go to a higher deductible or less coverage," Gagliardi said. "The law does nothing to address the true costs of health care, and that's what drives premiums."
Gagliardi predicts that increasing expenses and continued uncertainty will drive out more small business owners this year. "I hear from members all of the time. They are saying: I just don't want to play in this arena anymore." Others might be forced to stop offering insurance to their employees, he said.
A Towers Watson survey of employers in 2007 found 73 percent said they were confident that they would be offering health insurance in 10 years. The number dropped to 38 percent in 2010. The ACA does not require businesses with fewer than 50 employees to offer insurance. But, by 2014, because the high court ruled to let the ACA's individual mandate stand, their employees will suffer penalties at the tax table if they do not have coverage.
Yet it's not all dark news. There are other options out there and on the horizon, and becoming educated about health reform means small businesses can find the life preservers being tossed their way.
"I still talk to so many business owners who don't know they are eligible for a small business tax credit," de Percin said. Businesses with fewer than 25 employees that pay average annual wages below $50,000 might qualify for a tax credit of up to 35 percent to help pay for health insurance right now (up to 25 percent for nonprofits). "And that increases to 50 percent (35 percent for nonprofits) in 2014," de Percin said.
Couple tax credits with the impending Colorado Health Benefit Exchange, and offering insurance for small businesses could become easier down the road. "Business owners really want more affordable health plans," said Patty Fontneau, CEO of Colorado's exchange. "In addition, they want more choice and they want to have the burden of administration taken from them." And that's what the virtual exchange, which will offer an individual marketplace and a small-business marketplace known as SHOP (Small Employer Health Options Program), aims to provide, she said.
On track for an October 2013 launching, Colorado's exchange is being created to meet the state's specific needs by its own stakeholders, whose numbers have been steadily increasing at the planning tables, Fontneau said. States that banked on a different June Supreme Court ruling will not be so lucky, Lindsay said.

Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?
- Posted by Johanna on November 23, 2009 at 8:22 am
- Category: Graphic Novel Reviews
- CREDITS: by Brian Fies
- PUBLISHER: Abrams ComicArts; $24.95 US
Brian Fies wrote and drew Mom's Cancer, one of my Best Graphic Novels of 2006, so I was greatly anticipating his followup, especially once I heard that he was tackling the question of technological progress.
Unfortunately, while I appreciated all the themes and concepts of Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, together, they didn't gel the way I hoped. I was left thinking that I might have enjoyed the material more as an essay than a graphic novel.
The main content is a set of stories of a boy and his dad, set in five eras roughly 10 years apart, plus "tomorrow". This part of the book has caused confusion, as the characters don't age fast enough to match the labeled decades, although Fies does try to explain his intent in an introductory author's note. The pair do such period-representative things as attend the 1939 World's Fair, build a fallout shelter in 1955, or watch a 1965 rocket launch. By 1975, the growing generation gap parallels the U.S. backing off from space exploration.
Much of this material is captioned illustrations, full of text which demonstrates Fies' excellent research. However, that's a big part of why I found myself wishing for a different format for this work. His word pictures are so well-done that the images pale in comparison, seeming rather generic. I found myself paying close attention to them only when Fies included photo reproductions, showing what a particular era truly looked like.
There is the occasional illustrated piece that transcends the reporting approach. The two-page spread from the 1939 chapter where the child has his greeting to his dad broadcast over early television stands out, for example. Four quarter-page panels move diagonally over a background of faded circuit diagram, combining human emotion with technological wonder. The spaceflight section also takes advantage of the comic medium. Many more of the layouts are staid, though, page after page of one to four rectangular images where the pictures don't tell us much beyond setting.
The chapters are separated by faux comic books telling the adventures of Commander Cap Crater and his sidekick the Cosmic Kid. They're meant to show how the general public thought about science in each era, but read closely, they're also cautionary tales. The villain, "the mad Dr. Xandra", is always defeated, even though his actions are the most realistic to today's reader. His sterile cities cause ecological damage, or his drive for atomic power causes radioactive fallout, although he makes a good point about the hypocrisy of those who want to control science to political ends.
Although Fies expresses a hopeful note, the parts of his book that ring most true are those that aren't so positive. The boy tosses his comics in favor of moving pictures. Dad expresses fear that he wasn't prepared for the new world, obsolete while he's still a healthy adult. Later, his reactions to the way his kid's school is dealing with the possibility of nuclear destruction range from foolhardy to heart-breaking. In the comic book sections, the female character has the best suggestions but is always brushed off because she's female.
The best thing about this book is its design. The partial dust jacket shows the nostalgic olden days, with the gleaming spires of yesterday's vision of the future in the background. Under the jacket is the same scene, set in tomorrow. The bright white paper shows off future visions, image reproductions, and the simple art style well. The comic book inserts are, in contrast, on yellowed newsprint, adding to the feel of reading something from a past era. A short endnote section credits image sources and inspirations, a nice touch, especially when it came to those who influenced the look of the comics in different decades.
Fies, in his introductory author's note, expresses his hope for the future, his dismay over lost optimism, and his wish that his attitude was once again popular. So it's a book with a clear point of view, and one I would have liked to have seen expressed more directly with more clarity. I also thought some connections were missed. For instance, after reading about the layout and purpose of the World's Fair, and then about Walt Disney, who's mentioned in a couple of places, I was surprised to see no mention of EPCOT carrying on the same vision, technological promotion combined with glimpses into other world cultures. It may not be as great or gee-whiz as it was in the 30s, but at least it's trying.
An online preview is available, and the publisher has a website. Find out more about Fies at his blog. (The publisher provided a review copy.)

Dubai: The assault case in which an Emirati man beat an Indian driver over a minor traffic accident should be seen as an isolated incident that should not be used as a stereotype against each of the cultures represented, say members of the Emirati and Indian community.
UAE | Society
Emirati and Indian community: YouTube beating was a one-off
Communitty leaders say incident should not be used as a stereotype
I must appreciate how Dubai police took charge of everything.. And I believe that it was a natural reaction which was shown by the Emirati guy... although a bit out of control. But don't give this incident another direction; anyone would have reacted like that.
Anonymous, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
This is just about two men.. it is not about two countries or two nationalities.. we shouldn't make it such a big issue better we need to solve it.. we are just human beings, not God. Sometimes good people also make mistakes. So, plz just try to make it peaceful in the country.
Saroj, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
dvrma, dv, United Arab Emirates
I adisagree with bharat kumar shahs comment 'if any other influential government official was involved in this type of incident in any other part of the world, including India, nothing would have happened'. i believe one shouldnt give their opinion on something if they havent lived in any other part of the world, this might be the case in india but not where i live where the queen, prime minister or anyone gets the same treatment and trial as normal citizens. there are biased judgements taking place sometimes but people are scared about their future and well being and never comes into light
charles, london, United Kingdom
This is just a small incident that media is trying to make it such a big deal. This is a fight between 2 men not between 2 countries so stop printing this news.
saif, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Good that this incident is brought to lime light. Of course UAE is a safe and peaceful place to live comparing to other countries. To maintain this we should not show any partiality towards law and order. it is shocking to see this. Now after this incident, these kind can increase, if not handled properly and the guilty is not punished. its true that we should solve things amicably, but not all. Dropping the charges and withdrawing the cases are not happening for everybody, only selective people get this facility. Law should be same for all, manhandling should not tolerated or compromised.
Subhan, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I'm afraid I have to disagree with this article. The idea that they are all equally to blame is absurd. No matter what the driver may have said justifies the beating which he endured at the hands of the official publicly. And let's be honest how many people all over the world film acts of crime and violence are then subsequently charged with defamation? None, instead most are commended for capturing the crime. This is just my opinion. I would also like to add that the nationalities of the individuals are irrelevant and lazy stereotypes should not be drawn from them. People should be judged based on their behaviour and always treated equally.
Uncomfortable truth, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Most of the people agree that this small incident was made big issue, this is a small personal case where i dont see any reason to point on UAE for this. My Family always feel that UAE is safest place for us and all my relative who lives in UAE agree the same. Plus with this incident most of the UAE resident have been aware of the rule that taking video/picture in public without permission of concern person is against the Law of UAE.
Syed Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Have been in the UAE for quite some time ,One should really appreciate the courtesy shown by the Local population of this nation No nation is perfect and no body except god is perfect,Overall UAE is one of the best places to live
MATHEW, SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates
It was nothing but a hue and cry made by someone who intentionally or unintentionally tried to show unwell action of the individual. In fact, the UAE is one of the safest and the ethically serene place where people flock from every corner of the world in search of a safe, peaceful and nuisance free life. We must exhibit our royalty and reliability towards the country and its Nationals.
omar kafil Ahmad, abu dhabi, United Arab Emirates
The video, which went viral on YouTube, has gathered a great deal of public interest due to the fact that it occurred on the side of the road in broad daylight but nevertheless, residents representing both cultures agreed that all three parties were at fault, including the Indian man who uploaded the video online.
The chapter was finally closed as it was reported on Sunday that all charges against the Indian man who filmed the incident and uploaded it on YouTube have been dropped by the Emirati man's family, and that the assault charge against the Emirati was also dropped by the mini bus driver.
"The UAE is a collage of cultures that are blended together, and that peacefully live with each other. You cannot judge a whole society by the actions of an individual… and I don't think the video has tarnished the image of Emiratis. Everyone must stand up for their own actions," said Nasif Kayed, general manager of Shaikh Mohammad Centre for Cultural Understanding.
"It is a pity because we are an imperfect species and all have our weaknesses, and his weakness is that he was unable to control his temper. Everyone has the option to do wrong or to do right, and in this case, he failed miserably in controlling his anger," he explained.
Kayed explained that all parties were at fault, and that no one person should be blamed for the incident.
"The way the man burst out in anger was uncalled for, the other man should have stopped the fight instead of filming it, and the Indian man should have defended himself and tried to stop [the assault]," he said.
Senior members of the Indian and Emirati communities have praised the role of police and the government, who detained the assailant and the Indian man for recording the incident and defaming the suspect.
KV. Shamsudheen, director of Barjeel Geojit Securities, who has been living in the UAE for 43 years, pointed out that in all his years, he has never come across a violent incident between people of the two nationalities.
"Everybody involved was at fault but rules are rules that applied to everybody, whether they are a government official or not. Any individual can make a mistake on certain occasions, but this should not change people's outlook on the UAE being one of the most peaceful countries in the world," said Shamsudheen.
Bharatkumar Shah, chairman of Al Mustaneer Trading, who has lived in the country for more than 30 years, said: "Residents of Dubai must know that if any other influential government official was involved in this type of incident in any other part of the world, including India, nothing would have happened to that official. Nobody would have dared to touch him. I salute to the government of Dubai who took immediate action to detain the government official."

Obama fundraiser to pull in $900K
POSTED: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 11:30am
UPDATED: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 11:34am
NATIONAL NEWS (CNN) — President Barack Obama will only have to travel four blocks to his campaign fundraiser in Washington Wednesday, but the event will boost his reelection bid's coffers by nearly $900,000.
A campaign aide said the evening event, held at the Jefferson Hotel, would be attended by 25 supporters paying $35,800 per ticket. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee of Obama for America, the Democratic National Committee and several state Democratic parties.
Last week Obama's reelection team filed fundraising records with the Federal Election Commission showing they had raised $53 million in March, an increase of $8 million from the month before.
In total, Obama's team has just over $104 million cash on hand, a ten-to-one advantage over likely GOP nominee Mitt Romney.
All together, Obama's campaign and the Obama Victory Fund have raised a combined $291 million through March 30.

Last year, my girlfriend, Katie Hughes, and I each applied for 2011 spring turkey quota hunt permits. You see, we have permission to hunt on a few small tracts of private property, but most of them have no turkey populations. Katie had never bagged a turkey before, so I really wanted her to have an opportunity to get one.
I was hoping the "guest permit" would increase the odds of us being able to hunt together. If I got drawn, we would obtain a guest permit in her name, and if she got drawn, she would take me as her guest.
After comparing our calendars and making sure we didn't have any prior commitments, she put in for five hunt-date choices—on wildlife management areas (WMAs) near where we live, in Tallahassee. I did the same, except I applied for five different choices—to increase our chances for getting drawn.
I was not successful that year in drawing a spring turkey quota permit, but Katie was, drawing a hunt on a nearby area.
For those who didn't get drawn, missed the application period or want even more hunting opportunities, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has several WMAs where you don't need a quota permit to hunt during all or parts of the spring turkey season. All you need in most cases is a hunting license ($17 for residents, $46 for a 10-day nonresident license), a management area permit ($26) and a turkey permit ($10 for residents, $125 for out-of-state hunters). On a few of them, you also need a daily quota or daily use permit, both of which are free and given out at the management areas' check stations on a first-come, first-served basis.
Hunting pressure can be a bit higher on some of these non-quota management areas, especially on those with the better turkey populations or those closer to metropolitan areas. But, if you've done your homework, including adequate preseason scouting and studying aerial photographs, you can have a successful hunt.
Whenever someone from out of state, perhaps going for a wild turkey grand slam, asks me which WMAs (not requiring a quota permit) offer the best chance of taking the highly coveted Osceola, I refer them to Green Swamp, Bull Creek, Three Lakes and J.W. Corbett. And of the WMAs that are inhabited by the eastern subspecies, I recommend Joe Budd and the Spring Creek and Snipe Island units of Big Bend.
Hunting spring turkeys on WMAs is much like hunting them on private property, except for a couple of things. The first exception is that you may not shoot a turkey past 1 p.m. on a WMA. On private lands, you may hunt them until sunset. The other thing I need to mention doesn't have anything to do with legal requirements, but is arguably more important, and that is, that you don't know who else is hunting around you on a WMA.
On private property, you may be the only person hunting a particular small tract of land. In the case of a hunting club or large piece of leased property, you might have to stay within a designated area or maybe have to mark where you're going to be hunting that day on the camp's check-in map. That way, everyone knows where everyone else is going to be.
On WMAs, however, you don't have that luxury, so you should take even more proactive steps to ensure safe hunting. The FWC and National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) stress to hunters to always positively identify your target before pulling the trigger.
As crazy as it sounds, in the past 30 years, 76 percent of turkey hunting accidents were a result of the victim being mistaken for a turkey.
Here are a few things you can do to help prevent such unwanted incidents:
Some of the turkey hunters you're likely to run into out there are so good at their "calling" that it's sometimes hard to tell if it's a nearby hunter making those sounds or if it's the real thing. Always assume such questionable sounds and movements are being made by another hunter, until you can positively identify the source.
And if you do come across another turkey hunter, and you're not sure if he sees you, wave your arms and whistle, or say something loud enough for him to hear you, to announce your presence.
Speaking of turkey calling, we brought with us your standard mouth (diaphragm) calls, slate, box call, crow call and owl tube, but there's one turkey call I left at home, and that's my gobble tube. I don't mind other hunters thinking there may be a crow, owl or hen turkey nearby, but I sure don't want to be shaking a gobble tube (imitating a gobbler) in the brush and have any hunters within hearing distance start heading my way—or, worse yet, make a hunter within gunshot range think there's a big tom in the bushes.
While I might have left my gobble tube behind, one thing that we did bring and use, even though it's not required during spring turkey season, is hunter-orange vests. We wore them when we walked to and from the truck and our set-up points. But, as soon as we settled in and got into position, we removed them and placed them out of sight of any approaching turkey.
As a safety precaution, the NWTF urges hunters not to stalk turkeys. But, when Katie and I did decide to pick up and go after a bird that was "henned up" and not responding to our calls—in order to get better position on him—you bet we both wore our orange vests.
Good luck and be safe out there, y'all. Oh, and if you're wondering if Katie ever got that turkey, just look at the picture at the top right.

Tell Bank of America: Please Condemn Anti-LGBT Bigotry
Rev. James C. (Jay) Leach is a minister at Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte
The message below went out to Standing on the Side of Love supporters on Tuesday, June 28, 2011. You can sign-up for these emails here.
Last Friday, thousands of Unitarian Universalists gathered for an inspiring "Faith Community Rally Against Homophobia & Transphobia" in my hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina. With debate about an anti-LGBT constitutional amendment all but guaranteed in an upcoming special session of our legislature, the Standing on the Side of Love campaign partnered with local faith leaders, Equality North Carolina, the Human Rights Campaign and others to raise our voices against this bigoted proposal.
Our rally was widely covered in the press and we successfully gathered hundreds of signatures to business leaders and legislators expressing our opposition.
Many of you recently signed on to our petition calling on leaders of North Carolina-based corporations to oppose this effort to write discrimination into our state's constitution. With more than 2,000 of you taking action, these businesses, including Bank of America, are starting to hear us, but they have NOT yet come out to oppose this discriminatory legislation.
Because I live here, I can tell you: Bank of America holds tremendous power in North Carolina and could influence other businesses to join them in calling on our state legislature to reject this proposed anti-LGBT amendment. While the bank is progressive in offering same-sex partner benefits, they need to understand that offering this benefit without also opposing this legislation leaves their LGBT employees vulnerable and creates an environment that is bad for business.
I am asking for your immediate help. We need to persuade Bank of America to oppose this legislation in the state where they are headquartered. Will you join us in letting Bank of America know that institutionalized discrimination is unjust, bad for business and bad for our community? There's an easy action you can take that has the potential to make a big difference.
Please take a moment and make a quick phone call to Bank of America spokesperson Scott Silvestri.
Scott Silvestri, Spokesperson, Bank of America: 1-980-388-9921
Please let Mr. Silvestri know that we are asking Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and other bank executives to encourage state lawmakers to reject this anti-LGBT amendment. Please leave a message if you are unable to speak to anyone.
Here is a script you can use:
"Hello, my name is ________. (If you are a customer at Bank of America please say that.) I am calling to urge CEO Brian Moynihan and others at the bank to oppose the effort to add an anti-gay amendment to the North Carolina state constitution. Please ask Mr. Moynihan and others to publicly denounce the amendment because it is bad for Bank of America's customers, bad for Bank of America's employees and bad for business. Thank You."
After you make the call, please share how it went on our Facebook wall or by responding to this email:
Standing on the Side of Love Facebook Page:
The thrilling victory in New York last week shows us what can happen when we join together. Now we need your help in my state. Please, join this important effort to head off anti-LGBT bigotry. Standing together on the side of love, we really can make a difference!
In faith,
Rev. James C. (Jay) Leach, Minister
Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte
6 Responses to "Tell Bank of America: Please Condemn Anti-LGBT Bigotry"
I will do this immediately as soon as you tell me the specific wording of the proposed legislation.
Thanks for your good work. -
Congratulations on your efforts to get the Bank of America to not sponsor an anti-gay amendment to the NC constitution.
I've called the Bank and left a message to that effect. Your wording of the message was perfect!
I talked to Scott and he had no knowledge about an anti-gay amendment. He said he was not the person to talk to about it.
I've called the bank and left the above message on their voice mail.
Hey all, contacting a specific person or spokesperson at the bank may not yield the results you desire. I happen to work for Bank of America and the Bank does have several LGBT based groups that you may want to contact, as well as their PAC. A PAC is a political action committee. Most large businesses have this and it may be wiser and more fruitful to go through the PAC and get them to state something on behalf of the bank. Here is the info I found: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=71595&p=irol-govcontact
Contact the Board of Directors
Persons seeking to communicate with the Board of Directors, any director, non-management members of the Board as a group or any committee of the Board should send a letter to the Corporate Secretary at Bank of America Corporation, 214 N. Tryon St., NC1-027-20-05, Charlotte, NC 28255. The letter should indicate to whom the communication is intended. The Corporate Secretary or the secretary of the designated committee may sort or summarize the communications as appropriate. Communications that are commercial solicitations, customer complaints, incoherent or obscene will not be communicated to the Board or any director or committee of the Board.Other info on the PAC should be shown here: http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=71595&p=irol-govpac

Route 11 crash closes lane
SELINSGROVE – Traffic is snagged on Route 11 due to an accident. According to PennDOT, a crash has closed the northbound lane of Route 11 in Snyder County. The crash occured between the intersections of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission boat ramp and Wagner Hill Road in Chapman Township. State Police are on the scene.
SnyderCounty 9-1-1 says it was a minor accident that has been mostly cleared. They are currently waiting for crews to move a tractor trailer from the scene.
The crash does seem to be due to slippery conditions. Please use extra caution if you must drive in this weather. (Codi Jade)

276 Tons of Rx Pills Collected at National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day
On April 28th, the fourth annual National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day, the DEA and its partners around the country collected 552,161 pounds—276 tons—of unneeded prescription medication. This initiative is an important piece of our strategy to decrease prescription drug abuse, especially in light of our recent data analysis showing new Rx drug abusers are more likely to get their drugs from friends or family.
Volunteers at two of the 5,659 take-back sites across the country were visited by senior leaders from our office. In Washington State for official travel, Director Kerlikowske stopped by a collection site in Des Moines, WA, where residents dropped off more than 290 pounds of unneeded prescription drugs.
Back in D.C., David Mineta, our Deputy Director of Demand Reduction, showed his support with volunteers at Bolling Air Force Base.
We applaud everyone who made last Saturday such an overwhelming success, bringing the four-year total of collected medication to 1.5 million pounds, and we look forward to marking a new record next year.
