Now ask yourself...Do you really think that he's going to come back stronger after that???Yeah, yeah, yeah.....Chris Young is a fierce competitor, blah, blah, blah.....but, DOMINATING????Come on. Get real.Yes, he does have his moments and can get you K's but is it really worth it to hold on to this guy until the ASB hoping that when he does come back he turns into the 2001 version of Randy Johnson?? I actually dropped him for the Big Unit the day after his injury. Wanna know why? Because I've played Fantasy Baseball for years and I've played the "Hoping/Waiting" game before. It doesn't work. Let somebody else assume the risk while your team moves forward.Yes, it IS flippin' May and you should get a clue before it's too late and all the viable pitchers on your WW are all gone.Here's some more advice: Don't take Yahoo rankings , etc.. as the final word. Use your own judgement sometimes. They had Andruw Jones's O-Rank at 78 at the beginning of the season...LOL!!!!Out.

Young still can't taste food and that his sense of smell hasn't returned. Black said it's too early to even begin talking about when Young might be able to start pitching again."Well that doesn't sound very good. I'd cut Young too at this point if I had someone like Tulo taking up my DL spot.

VANDALS who ran amok in a Cubbington churchyard smashing gravestones have been branded the "lowest of the low" by police.
A reward of £500 is being offered to help catch the culprits who attacked 20 graves at St Mary's on Church Hill overnight on Monday March 26 - leaving families heartbroken and with hefty bills to repair the graves of loved ones.
It comes in the wake of similar attacks which saw around 50 graves vandalised in two separate incidents at St Mary Magdalene Church in Lillington, on January 31 and February 28.
Sgt Dave Kettle of Warwickshire Police appealed for anyone with information to contact them.
He added: "This is the lowest of the low. A cowardly act. Someone is going to know who they are and we are linking it to the two gravestone attacks in Lillington.
"The shock of the community is shared by us and we are doing all we can to catch those responsible, including upping patrols in the area."
St Mary's Church Warden Richard Spicer added it was impossible to understand why anybody would do such a thing.
He said: "We've had incidents nearby in Lillington, and don't know if this was a copy-cat attack, or if those responsible were egged-on or just bored.
"Our thoughts are with the next of kin. The graves attacked were in the graveyard we are currently using, and there were fresh flowers on some from Mothering Sunday.
Mr Spicer added while a number of graves had been pushed over, and would probably just require re-cementing to the bases, others had actually been broken.
Cubbington parish councillor David Saul said the village was in shock.
He added: "This has affected the whole village and left people very upset and angry.
"It is an outrage. How could anyone stoop so low?
"We all want to see them caught and in my view it should carry a custodial sentence for what has been done."
Anyone with information should call Leamington Police on 01926 451111 and ask for Sgt Dave Kettle.

You can't say they didn't warn him. The Smoking Gun Web site, known for unearthing sordid details about celebrities' lives, dug up a 1977 interview that the Calif. gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger did with the now-defunct magazine Oui, in which he described experiences with drugs and group sex plus his views on penis size and posing for gay magazines, Reuters reports. In the interview, Schwarzenegger admitted to joining in on an orgy with one woman and several other bodybuilders at a Gold's Gym in Venice, Calif and also said men "shouldn't feel like fags just because they want to have nice-looking bodies ... Gay people are fighting the same kind of stereotyping that bodybuilders are: People have certain misconceptions about them just as they do about us." Reuter reports Schwarzenegger recently spoke on a talk radio show in Los Angeles, to discuss his views on topics such as abortion (he's pro-choice), gay marriages (he is against them) and illegal immigrants (he doesn't believe they should be allowed to get driver's licenses). When asked about the Oui interview, Schwarzenegger simply replied, "I haven't lived my life to be a politician."
Kill Bill Pas Deux
Miramax will release the Volume Two of Quentin Tarantino's three-hour bloody opus Kill Bill Feb. 20, Variety reports, thus alleviating any worries about Oscar campaigning for the two halves at the same time. Kill Bill Volume One is set to hit theaters Oct. 10.
Cash Hospitalized With Stomach Problem
Country music icon Johnny Cash was hospitalized in Nashville, Tenn., Thursday with a stomach ailment, Reuters reports. The problem, however, is not related to Cash's chronic nervous system disorder called autonomic neuropathy, which makes him susceptible to pneumonia and other illnesses. His spokeswoman told Reuters he watched the MTV Video Music Awards Thursday, hoping to win for his music video "Hurt."
Sandler, Diaz Top Best Paid List
Adam Sandler and Cameron Diaz both topped the 2004 Guinness World Records edition as the biggest earning celebrities for the year 2001 in the male and female categories, Reuters reports. Sandler earned $47 million, supplanting Bruce Willis, who had the top spot in 2000, while Diaz earned $40 million, taking over from Julia Roberts. The book cites last year's Forbes' "Celebrity 100" list, Reuters reports.
Photographer Pleads Innocent in Trying To Extort Diaz
Photographer John Rutter pleaded innocent Thursday to allegations he tried to use photos he took of Cameron Diaz--some which allegedly show Diaz topless-- to extort $3.3 million from the actress, The Associated Press reports. The photos were taken before Diaz had made her break in the 1994 The Mask. Rutter's lawyer told AP, "You'll be surprised how tame some of these shots are." Rutter was arrested Aug. 12 and a judge ordered the pictures, as well as a videotape found in Rutter's apartment, sealed. The hearing is set for Sept. 12.
Jack Osbourne Gets British Series
The wiry-haired, wire-rimmed wearing Jack Osbourne will host his own TV series for Britain's Channel 4, AP reports. Called Union Jack, the series will follow the 17-year-old son of Ozzy Osbourne as he goes to Hollywood parties, premieres and celebrity haunts and will feature his opinions on the latest movie and music. Channel 4 told AP the show would "give a fresh take on all things cool and strange in Hollywood."
Place Your Bets on Next Survivor
After the 16 Survivor: Pearl Islands contestants were introduced on CBS' The Early Show Thursday, bets were placed immediately on who would win the $1 million prize, Reuters reports. The Web site BoDog.com claimed to be the first site to let fans place bets on the outcome of the next Survivor, which premieres Sept. 18, and it quickly listed Burton Roberts as the 4-to-1 favorite.
Omar Sharif Awarded Golden Lion
Omar Sharif, best known for his classic films Doctor Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia, was honored by the Venice Film Festival Friday with a Golden Lion lifetime achievement award, Reuters reports. "This is my 50th year of being a professional actor. That already is worth an award, just to survive 50 years," the Egyptian-born actor said at a press conference.
A sequel to the Vin Diesel actioner xXx is currently in the works, but the original director Rob Cohen may not take over the helm this time around. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cohen has first right of refusal, and if he plans to make Columbia Pictures' Stealth as his next feature, the reins will likely go to Lee Tamahori (Die Another Day), who is also in discussions to direct the xXx sequel. No word yet on whether star Diesel will reprise his role.

A Hospitable History: The Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site |
by Lyndel MeikleDan Gard From Montana The Magazine of Western History, 52 (Spring 2002), 72-75; this article is presented courtesy of the Montana Historical Society. All rights reserved, © 2002. | |||||||||
Among the historic travelers who have passed through the Deer Lodge Valley was the anonymous correspondent who, in December 1865, wrote to the Virginia City Montana Post, telling of the booming young town of "Cottonwood, alias Deer Lodge" and describing a visit to the Johnny Grant home, a house that stood out in an era of one-room cabins and the occasional tent:
Still as attractive and as welcoming as it was in the 1860s, the ranch house is now a part of the Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historical Site that commemorates the open-range cattle era as well as the twentieth-century ranching industry through the stories of John F. Grant, Conrad Kohrs, John Bielenberg, and Conrad K. Warren. John Francis Grant, the first owner of the Deer Lodge Valley ranch, was born the son of a Canadian Hudson's Bay Company agent in the Edmonton, Alberta, area in 1831. Young Johnny was raised by his grandmother in Three Rivers, Quebec, a pampered child who never so much as carried in a handful of kindling, but in his mid-teens, he joined his father at the Hudson's Bay post of Fort Hall, Idaho, and was plunged into a rough and hard-working world. As the fur trade era gradually faded, Fort Hall traders had discovered that they could swap fresh livestock to immigrants heading for Oregon and California, generally getting two footsore animals for a fit one. The entrepreneurs rested the tired animals in Montana's sheltered valleys during the winter and herded back them to the Oregon Trail in the spring. After wintering livestock in the Deer Lodge Valley in 1857, Grant decided to settle there, first at present-day Garrison in 1859 and later on the north edge of Deer Lodge in 1861, and he built a life for himself in the valley. His alliances with women from several tribes in Idaho, Montana, and Canada resulted in twenty-one children, and he also good-heartedly opened his home to several abandoned and abused children, adopting them as casually as he might have picked up stray puppies. Eventually, Grant's cattle, mostly fine English breeds, ranged across thousands of acres of public land in the valley. His home was also a trading post, stocked with goods purchased in St. Louis and brought by steamboat to Fort Benton. There everything from blacksmith's tools to groceries to papers of needles was loaded into Grant's twenty-eight freight wagons for the 180-mile journey to Deer Lodge. Grant's home was open to all, and his hospitality was legendary. Charmed by Grant, gold seeker Edwin Ruthven Purple wrote:
Unfortunately, the "invasion" Purple had hoped would not occur was already in progress. The 1862 Montana gold rush brought not only miners to the territory but all those who-legally and illegally-preyed upon the miners. Grant disliked the changes and in 1866 sold his ranch to Conrad Kohrs and moved to Canada. One hundred and five other families, an eclectic mix of Mexicans, Canadians, Americans, and members of several tribes, shared his feelings and left at the same time. Many settled near Grant in the Carmen, Manitoba, area. Conrad Kohrs, a German immigrant whose gold fever had led him to California and Canada, arrived in Montana in 1862, first finding work as a butcher's assistant in the boomtown of Bannack. In four years, he owned his own shops and his ranching ventures, including the ranch he bought from Grant for $19,200, were providing a storage facility for the beef that supplied his shops. Kohrs eventually purchased, homesteaded, or leased nearly 30,000 acres in the valley.
With his half brother and partner John Bielenberg, Kohrs came to control about 1 million acres in eastern Montana, and their cattle grazed on 10 million acres of public land in four states and Canada. They shipped nearly 10,000 head of cattle a year to Chicago. At the home ranch, they built a reputation raising registered Shorthorn and Hereford cattle as well as Thoroughbred and draft horses. In 1868 Kohrs married Augusta Kruse, also an immigrant from Germany. It was Augusta who created the ranch house's Victorian elegance, adding her own fine needlepoint to the furnishings from Chicago, New York, and Europe. Ornately framed English and German prints on the walls revealed to guests her European background; indeed, her classical tastes may have made her unsympathetic to the work done by a cowboy employed in their eastern Montana operation: Charles M. Russell. With their fortunes secure and homesteaders gradually fencing the open range, Kohrs and Bielenberg sold their eastern Montana holdings and all but 1,000 acres surrounding the home ranch in the opening decades of the 1900s. The ranch might have disappeared entirely, as so many did in response to drought, depression, and sodbusters, had it not been for Kohrs's grandson, Conrad Kohrs Warren. Long employed at the ranch, first as a cowboy, then as foreman, Warren bought the old headquarters in 1940 for $407,000 and preserved it intact. Warren brought the operation into the twentieth century, raising registered Hereford cattle, though not without setbacks. A noted breeder of Belgian draft horses, he found his team drivers and his market disappearing as World War II took men from agriculture and hastened the transition from horse power to tractors. A genetic disorder, dwarfism, that devastated the Hereford industry in the mid-1900s did not spare the Warren ranch. But throughout his economic struggles, Warren never considered breaking up the home ranch, and it stands today as much a testament to his dedication as a monument to Grant, Kohrs, and Bielenberg. In the late 1960s, the National Park Service (NPS) was looking for a site to tell the story of the open-range cattle era, and Warren was looking for a way to preserve the ranch beyond his lifetime. It was a perfect match. In 1972 Congress designated the ranch a National Historic Site, and on August 25, 1972, Richard M. Nixon signed the legislation making the designation official. The 1,500-acre ranch today is a virtual time capsule of ranching history. Furnishings and buildings from Johnny Grant's day, the Victorian elegance of the Kohrs' tenure, and the more prosaic structures of Conrad Warren's time remain. Using the meticulously kept records of financial dealings and correspondence, the nps can document every aspect of ranch operations from the 1860s to the 1970s. Visitors can see eighty-eight historic structures, take a self-guided tour of outbuildings (not to be confused with outhouses, of which there are two, including the Roosevelt Room, built during the Great Depression), and tour the ranch house with a park ranger. From rocking chairs on the back porch of the ranch house, visitors can enjoy the view enjoyed by presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, who sipped lemonade there while passing through on his campaign train in August 1897. The nps, which administers the ranch, raises cattle and keeps horses to perform traditional ranch work. Particularly in the summer season, there are often demonstrations of blacksmithing, and under the shade of enormous cottonwood trees, a chuck wagon cook spins trail-driving yarns. A stroll to the Clark Fork River may reveal deer, fox, and an astonishing variety of birds. Grant-Kohrs Ranch National Historic Site is open year-round, closing only for the New Year's, Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Admission is free. The ranch is open 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with extended hours in the summer. School groups are welcome. On the second full weekend in July each year, the ranch celebrates Western Heritage Days with branding, music, children's programs, and a variety of other special activities, and on August 22-25, 2002, artists from across the United States will set up set up their easels to capture the ranch's essence in a variety of media. Every year on the first Sunday of December the ranch hosts a holiday open house with Victorian decorations and special activities. For further information, call (406) 846-2070, or visit the Grant-Kohrs website at www.nps.gov/grko. LYNDEL MEIKLE is a National Park Service ranger whose thirty-three years in the nation's parks include twenty-six years at Grant-Kohrs Ranch, sixteen as the site's blacksmith. She is the editor of Very Close to Trouble: The Johnny Grant Memoir (1996); contributor to Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Montana History (2000); and writes a long-running weekly column that appears in the Helena Independent Record. 1.

Hm... I'm in such a strange mood. I want to watch torchwood, right, but it's like... I wanna watch the two episodes that are the only episodes that I can say I dislike. Not gonna say which episodes, cuz I don't wanna give anything away, but.
Not only that, but... I dunno, I'm just in a weird mood. One of those moods, sort of, that you have too much muse but you can't follow that muse at all, so you can't get rid of it. Except, my mood is a variation on that, so I don't know what it is at -all-.
In any case, it's confusing. And... oddly enough, I could use a really sad tv show or movie or something. Either that or a comedy sort of thing. I don't even know what I'm getting at here, I'm just typing whatever. Maybe then I'll figure out what's happening. *sigh*
So, I was about to write about how today Iw ent to the mall, but then I noticed that I have chocolate on the palm of my hand. So I'm gonna lick it off, then write about the mall.
Mmkay, 'sall good now. In any case, went to the mall with my best friend, who I haven't seen since school. I dunno how we managed it, but she's always gone when I'm here and vice verse. It was fun enough, but I'm not always the biggest fan of the mall, really, so when it got to the fourth hour I was getting kinda tired. I managed to get a new pair of jeans though - fifteen bucks from hot topic. It's miraculous!
Also, I'm excited, cuz I'm ordering a customized messenger bag - all doctor who like and all that. It'll be sweet once it gets here. :D
Kay I'm done ranting. I have nothing else to say, and I'm still in a weird mood... oh well.
You could watch Loving Annabelle, it's kind of sad...
Or Lost and delirious. That made me want to bawl my eyes out.
Oh and nice score on the jeans. Lol.
Thank ya much for the suggestions... I guess for now I'm just gonna stick with british scifi and will and grace. I'll definitely watch those at some point though.
"Assets, what are our assets?"
"Well I've got a banana, and in a pinch you could put up some shelves..."
Hmmm... I'm also in a very weird mood. Oh well, good luck with yours! I'm giving into temptation tonight (my weird moods always coincide with a very strong need to do certain stuff).
Btw, I support Merric's comment. I second it, actually.
Off to seeing a pack of Dunhill disappear, cheerio!

Best time to take a vacation to Hawaii
With Hawaii weather, you'd be hard-pressed to find a bad time to go. Leeward (southwestern) coasts are sunny and arid, and the windward (northeastern) sides are mountainous with jungles and pounding surf. The uplands are cooler and the landscape is rural. From December to March, Hawaii sees an influx of crowds and hotel rates are competitive. Fall and spring are little slower and discount hotel rates are easier to find. Winter brings rain, but the temperatures rarely dip below 60 degrees.
Events populate Hawaii year-round, but if you want to join the largest crowds, hit Aloha Festivals on Oahu in September, the Ironman World Championship on the Big Island in October, and the Honolulu Marathon on Oahu in December.
Insider tips for Hawaii travel
Side Street Inn (Honolulu, Oahu)
Experience Hawaii like a local at this Honolulu haven. Located on Kapahulu Avenue, drinks are reasonably priced and the pork chops are a house specialty.
Pearl Harbor/USS Arizona Memorial (Hawaii)
Honor the thousands who lost their lives here, most famously at the USS Arizona Memorial, which is accessible only by boat. Beneath the memorial is the sunken hull of the battleship where more than 1,100 sailors lost their lives. Admission is free, with tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Rancho Vitorino (Kapaau, Hawaii)
Hit the trails with smooth-riding Hawaii Paso Finos -- gaited horses ideal for all ages and skill-levels. The Vitorinos specialize in historic horseback rides on Hawaii's North Kohala Coast, including rides through plantations and rainforests.
Tunnels Beach (Haena, Kauai)
This is one of Kauai's top sites for snorkelers, scuba divers and swimmers. The massive hook-shaped reef features inner crevices teeming with sea life and tunnels and caverns along the outer reef. Check the reports before heading out, especially during winter, when the sea is consistently rough.
The Maui Theatre (Lahaina, Maui)
Experience Hawaiian mythology and history at "Ulalena: A Story of Hawaii's People" where the stage lights up with acrobats, hula, traditional dance and music.

Hawaii highlights
Kilauea Volcano (Hawaii)
This scorching beauty on the southeastern side of the Big Island is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Loop the Crater Rim Drive where you'll zip through a rainforest, see steam vents, treeless plain cliffs and Halema'uma'u Crater, plus the Jaggar Museum abuzz with seismographs and stunning views.
Diamond Head Crater (Oahu)
This Oahu beauty mark was left after a volcano exploded some 300,000 years ago. Experienced hikers hit the dramatic Diamond Head Summit Trail, a 1.6-mile loop to the summit and back with views of the southeastern Oahu shoreline.
Waikiki and Honolulu (Oahu)
These Oahu hotspots are Hawaii's most popular, studded with hotels, beaches, Asian-fuelled eateries and shopping. Head to Waikiki Beach for swimming and surfing, and bring the kids to the Hawaii Children's Discover Center.
Polynesian Cultural Center (Oahu)
Explore the traditions of Polynesian culture and the people of Hawaii, Easter Island, Fiji, Samoa, Tahiti and more. Swivel your hips in an authentic luau, watch a canoe pageant and join hands-on activities such as tree climbing and tiki carving.
Haleiwa (Oahu)
Time moves a little slower in this historic surf town. Hang ten at Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and Ehukai (Banzai Pipeline) -- the area's most famous. Surfers dig the big waves in winter, while summer brings much calmer shores. Put a hibiscus in your hair, then hit the town's boutiques or pineapple plantations in nearby Wahiawa.
Hanauma Bay (Oahu)
This curvaceous bay 10 miles east of Waikiki draws snorkelers to its calm waters. Come face to face with colorful fish, manta rays and turtles. (The beach is closed on Tuesdays.)
Na Pali Coast (Kauai)
Plan your arrival to this rugged 15-mile stretch, inaccessible to automobiles. Arrive via boat or helicopter tour and spend the day sailing, rafting and hiking.
The Road to Hana (Maui)
The town of Hana is on the east side of Maui, but it's the road getting there that people rave about. This 68-mile drive from Kahului is more like a three-hour obstacle course with hairpin turns, one-lane bridges and narrow roadways. But the white-knuckle grips offer ongoing rewards with spectacular views, and a coastal rainforest with lush vegetation.
Haleakala National Park (Maui)
Located less than two hours from Kahului, a trip here is not the jetlagged or tired: The best time to hike Mount Haleakala is 3 a.m. to reach the summit in time for sunrise.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Native American Rights Fund (NARF) is a non-profit organization that uses existing laws and treaties to ensure that U.S. state governments and the U.S. federal government live up to their legal obligations. NARF also "provides legal representation and technical assistance to Indian tribes, organizations and individuals nationwide."[1]
The Native American Rights Fund was founded in 1970.[1] John Echohawk (Pawnee) co-founded the organization and currently serves as Executive Direction.[2] NARF is governed by a volunteer board of directors composed of thirteen Native Americans from different tribes throughout the country with a variety of expertise in Indian matters. A staff of fifteen attorneys handles about fifty major cases at any given time, with most of the cases taking several years to resolve. Cases are accepted on the basis of their breadth and potential importance in setting precedents and establishing important principles of Indian law.[1]
In September 2001 tribal Leaders met in Washington, D.C., and established the Tribal Supreme Court Project in an effort to "strengthen tribal advocacy before the U.S. Supreme Court by developing new litigation strategies and coordinating tribal legal resources."[3] The ultimate goal is to improve the win-loss record of Indian tribes in Supreme Court cases. The Project is staffed by attorneys from Native American Rights Fund (NARF) and the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and consists of a Working Group of over 200 attorneys and academics from around the nation who specialize in Indian law and other areas of law that impact Indian cases, including property law, trust law and Supreme Court practice. In addition, an Advisory Board of Tribal Leaders assists the Project by providing the necessary political and tribal perspective to the legal and academic expertise.
The Tribal Supreme Court Project does the following:
One of NARF's earliest cases resulted in the 1974 Boldt Decision, in which a U.S. district judge ruled that Washington State must uphold tribal treaty rights, specifically fishing rights.[4]
NARF has represented Native peoples in the case, Cobell v. Salazar, initiated by Elouise Cobell (Blackfeet) over the U.S. Department of the Interior's mismanagement of trust funds. The historic 13-year case resulted in a $3.4 billion settlement.[5][6]
NARF publishes literature pertaining to Native American rights. They currently are co-publishing a book about tribal employment law.[7]

Hiding marijuana magazines behind the counter won't do any good

Re: "Marijuana rule defies First Amendment," [1] May 13 editorial.
A proposed rule forcing pot magazines behind the counters is not only in violation of the First Amendment, but it is just plain stupid. If the under-21 crowd wants information on marijuana, they only need to check their smartphones. Print magazines are sooo last decade, dude.

Susan's last sentence really cracked me up! While stating the obvious, it's also stating the obviousness of our dumbed-down legislature, trying to serve the public good. Akin to "just saying no." Thanks Susan for making my day!

The elimination of cross endorsements, which has been proposed by a legislative committee, could soon have a significant impact on state and local elections.
Out of nearly 40,000 votes cast in last year's 13th District state Senate race, only 279 votes separated candidates Democrat Dante Bartolomeo and Republican Leonard F. Suzio. And while the race had just two candidates, five political parties endorsed either Bartolomeo or Suzio.
Suzio was endorsed by the Republican, Independent and We the People parties. Bartolomeo, who went on to win, was endorsed by the Democratic and Working Families parties. State Sen. Donald Williams, D-Brooklyn, suggested to the Government Administration and Elections Committee earlier this week that eliminating cross endorsements makes sense.
"Our goal is to make the voting process as convenient and as clear as possible," Williams, the Senate's president pro tempore, said in a statement Wednesday. "At least 44 (states) do not allow candidates to appear on more than one line for the same office. It is confusing for voters to have the same candidate appear on two or more lines on the ballot and causes problems such as over-voting."
The Independent and We the People parties that endorsed Suzio made up more than 10 percent of his 19,655 votes in the 13th District, which includes Meriden, Middlefield and parts of Cheshire and Middletown. The 965 votes Bartolomeo received from Working Families made up just under 5 percent of her total vote.
Bartolomeo said that she is "just watching and listening" to the debate about cross endorsements, but is "interested to see" what comes of it. The bill was proposed by the General Assembly's Government Administration and Elections Committee, of which she is not a member.
An endorsement from the Working Families Party helped Gov. Dannel P. Malloy edge out Republican Tom Foley in the 2010 election.
The issue is not split down party lines, noted Democrat David Zoni, who won the 81st House District in 2012 after being endorsed by Democrats and Working Families.
"I'm a big proponent," Zoni said of cross endorsements. "It does change elections ... I think it is part of the democratic process."
On the local level, the bill could have a significant impact, especially in Meriden. Though the Democratic Party heavily outweighs other parties, Republican and We the People candidates have teamed up to win some City Council seats.
In 2009, Bob Williams won an Area 4 Council seat by 62 votes over Democratic incumbent David Salafia. Williams had 587 Republican votes and 444 from We the People, compared with 969 Democratic votes for Salafia.
Republican Town Chairman Dan Brunet said he was surprised the state would get involved in municipal elections.
"I don't see why it's necessary at all to outlaw those," Brunet said. "It's a political process; it's democracy. If a third party did enough to get a line on the ballot, then they should be rewarded to endorse whatever candidate they choose."
Brunet lost his council bid in 2007 when We the People opted not to cross endorse him. Brunet lost to Council Majority Leader Brian Daniels by 314 votes, with a We the People candidate earning 587 votes. Brunet received a cross endorsement two years later and won his seat.
If passed, the bill would not go into effect until 2014. Still, Republicans may not want to expect any cross endorsements in the upcoming municipal election, according to We the People Chairwoman Lois Demayo.
"I think it looks bad for the party" when there are cross endorsements, Demayo said. Demayo became chairwoman of the party after the 2011 election, in which the former chair jumped ship to the Republicans, leaving a bad taste with We the People members.
On the state level, Williams also suggested that super PACs (political action committees) leave the process.
"Our elections should be decided by the campaigns and ideas of our candidates," Williams said, "not by groups able to game the system."

Character Connections
Figured I'd make a thread to discuss how our characters are connected, if they are at all.
Post what your character has been up to for the past few months/years (Unless of course you don't want anyone to know.) Maybe we can have some tie-ins excreta and start knowing each other. |
Churr'Ipa is from Tatooine originally. Anyone else from Tatooine?
For the last two years he's been working as a technician/engineer on a transport/multiple transports and so he is well traveled. Fellow crew members? Passengers? Persons of note on a planet? On the side he makes/repairs droids to sell. Anybody own a droid? Want one? |
good idea thanks Fitz
Erich is a doctor that's working on Tatooine, so if anybody's been injured or ill at any time (sandpeople attack, heatstroke, indigestion, etc.) then he could have treated them.
Erich fixed Currr'Ipa's broken collar bone about a year ago. Churrr'Ipa paid his debt in droids. One worked fabulously to carry tools and hold IVs, but not much more. The second droid was quite disastrous. It broke two of Erich's patients and a nurses shoulder bones. Thanks to the doctors quick thinking and a well placed drop kick the clavicle-crushing robot was put out of commission. Under an X-ray the pattern of bone breaking on all of the robots victims was remarkably similar to the pattern in which Churrr'Ipas bone was broken.
Sound good? Feel free to edit if you want Lemaya: need a engineer/crew for your ship? |
Just for clarity Lemaya doesn't have a ship that was part of the character sheet template that Jeiserus hasn't changed yet
Hi guys. If chosen, then Hadirak could have been encountered if you had some minor dealings with Jabba. He could have been used as muscle to obtain money due to the crime lord. Perhaps he even took back a speeder you had purchased on credit and couldn't repay. :)
He would even take a job from any of you if you needed some protection. |
ya'll could have also decided to collectively work on this job and have decided to purchase a ship from Jabba...
just a suggestion...to get ya'll a ship |
I'm all for us to have been together for a short time. Anything to bypass the whole 'trust issue' stuff I get from a lot of tabletop games. :) Hadirak would need blaster repair occasionally for his blaster rifle as it is old. With the current group I would focus on investigation, streetwise and security skills. Tracking people and objects and getting into the places that contain them would be a specialty.
I'm ok with ya'll all knowing each other, traveling together, or anything like that in the past ...ya know people ya go to and say "Hey I got this job...ya'll want to make some credits."
so that is what I would suggest... |

Power measurements on LED lights
Just a quick post to flag a Test & Measurement article that touches on LEDs – Testing for energy efficiency
Guest columnist Clive Davis of Yokogawa Europe describes how measuring technologies play their part in the drive to design more energy efficient systems and products, both from the point of view of ensuring optimum energy efficiency and meeting the compliance targets of international standards and the related legislation.
Power measurements on fluorescent and LED lights are another key application. Since the switching frequency of fluorescent lights can be tens of kilohertz, a wide range power measurement is required. In addition, dimming control using PWM modulation circuit is used with LED lights.
The new analyser provides a wide range from DC to up to 5MHz to allow the resultant harmonic signals to be evaluated.

Tax Administration:
Changes to IRS's Schedule K-1 Document Matching Program Burdened Compliant Taxpayers
GAO-03-667: Published: May 30, 2003. Publicly Released: Jul 9, 2003.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
About $1 trillion in income was distributed in 2001 by flow-through entities such as partnerships and trusts. These entities do not pay taxes on flow-through income. They report it to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on a Schedule K-1 and their partners or beneficiaries pay any tax. Concerned about underreporting, IRS began matching the flow-through income reported on Schedule K-1s with that reported on individuals' returns. In 2002, IRS began sending notices to taxpayers about suspected noncompliance. After complaints that many notices were going to compliant taxpayers, IRS stopped sending notices. Concerned about the burden, Congress asked GAO to, among other things, (1) describe the burden caused by the notices and IRS's rationale for stopping them, (2) assess IRS's management of the program, and (3) describe the steps IRS will take to address any problems.
IRS stopped issuing Schedule K-1 notices after complaints about the burden the program imposed on compliant taxpayers. Originally, IRS intended to focus the program on two categories of income--interest and dividends--wherein matching was straightforward, and therefore the number of notices sent to compliant taxpayers could be minimized. However IRS changed the matching program to cover additional categories of flow-through income without clearly informing taxpayers and tax preparers. Matching these additional categories of income was less straightforward. As a result, IRS sent notices about suspected noncompliance to more compliant taxpayers than it intended. In fact, about two-thirds of the notices were sent to taxpayers later determined to be compliant. After taxpayers complained, and after sending out about 70 percent of the planned notices, IRS responded by stopping the notices. IRS has assessed about $41.4 million in additional tax from the notices that were sent and approximately $26.9 million was directly attributable to Schedule K-1 underreporting. IRS did not timely implement two parts of the plans for managing the Schedule K-1 matching program. First, IRS did not test the feasibility of focusing the program on interest and dividend income until after recommending such a focus and communicating the recommendation to taxpayers, preparers, and other stakeholders. Second, after changing the plan, IRS did not clearly communicate the changes. IRS is taking steps to improve communications and reduce the burden on compliant taxpayers. However, neither IRS nor GAO knows whether these changes will improve communications and reduce burden while maintaining the effectiveness of the Schedule K-1 matching program as a compliance tool.

With TNA iMPACT! hitting shelves last week, we thought we'd remind you of the other colossal wrasslin' game this fall, the lengthily titled WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 09. This year's annual (don't call it an update) installment celebrates ten years of SmackDown-iness.
THQ "conveniently" happened by the GR tower last week to give us a better look before Smackdown! hits shelves this November. Not only were we incredibly impressed, but our expectations were subverted as well. Read on for why you should give a damn about this season's three-count.
1) Road to Wrestlemania mode
Let's get the big one out of the way: season/career mode has been revamped and replaced with six individual (and non-overlapping) story modes featuring specific World Wrestling Entertainment grapplers. Everybody - THQ included - was disappointed with last year's ho-hum season mode. Now, Road to Wrestlemania enables you to play through the three months leading to Wrestlemania as either Triple H, CM Punk, Undertaker, John Cena, Chris Jericho and, in either single or co-op play, Batista and Rey Mysterio.
We were disappointed to hear this at first, considering we were just recently underwhelmed by TNA's non-branching story mode and the idea that we wouldn't be able to take our created wrestlers through the mode. THQ calmed our fears on the latter, cryptically alluding to a new unannounced feature. On the other hand, once we got a good look at Jericho's story in action, our fears were alleviated.
After a hilarious introduction to Jericho, RAW started with all the fireworks, credits and camera angles we've been accustomed to seeing on TV. After winning a quick match against Jeff Hardy, Jericho's "Save_Us" TitanTron entrance video went on the fritz, displaying the message "Terminate Jericho." This completely shocked us, as this type of storytelling is usually reserved for television.
Immediately, we began to warm to this character-specific storyline, rather than an all-encompassing and ultimately boring regular season mode. THQ promises 5-6 hours of gameplay per story, ultimately creating about 30 hours of gameplay just from Road to Wrestlemania alone.

Donna Heath, 37, from Singleton will compete in the Electric Run UK at Wembley Park, London, in aid of Breast Cancer Care next month with family members and friends.
Donna, who works with adults with autism and learning difficulties, was diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago when her daughter Amie was just a year old.
She had a lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy but three years later the cancer returned and Donna had a mastectomy.
She said: "When I was first diagnosed Breast Cancer Care helped me immensely. I was so scared and talking to other ladies the same age with similar diagnoses on the forum was so very helpful. I also used the helpline a few times when I was very anxious.
"Mummy's Lump has been very a valuable resource as we read it together and my daughter asks questions and seems to understand what is going on. My partner Daniel Bunn was my rock throughout my diagnosis and treatment, I am not sure I could have got through it without him.
"Daniel has also benefited from reading some publications from Breast Cancer Care such as In It Together for partners of people with breast cancer.
"My team for the Electric Run is a mixture of family and friends who have stood by me and supported me. By the time the run comes around I will have finished my current treatment and the run is a great way to mark that!"
Donna is currently on sick leave from her job as a service manager at a charity in Lympne.
Electric Run is a night-time 5km run or walk where participants become part of a show that sees them travel through "lands" of light and sound in an electric wonderland.

text: New cassette tape could hold 47 million songsDoug Gross, CNNUpdated 8:26 PM ET, Sun October 12, 201450 years of the cassette 17 photos50 years of the cassette – In 1963, Philips Electronics officially introduced the "compact cassette," which contained a length of audio tape approximately 3.15 millimeters wide that ran at 1-7/8 inches per second. It was intended to replace the bulkier reel-to-reel tape and be used for dictation, but over the next 50 years, it would prove to be far more versatile. Lou Ottens, shown here, led Philips' team.Hide Caption 1 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosKeith Richards' secret weapon – One of the cassette's early supporters was Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, who bought an early machine to record off-the-cuff demos. He liked it so much that he used it to record the layered guitar parts for such songs as 1968's "Street Fighting Man" and "Jumping Jack Flash," overloading his machine for distortion. "I wish I could still do that, but they don't build machines like that anymore," he wrote in his memoir, "Life."Hide Caption 2 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosThe 8-track challenge – For more than a decade, the cassette's chief competition in the portable tape market was the 8-track cartridge, invented in 1964. Eight-tracks were divided into four programs, each with two-track stereo (hence 8 tracks). Automobile manufacturers adopted the 8-track quickly, but the format had its flaws -- it wasn't rewindable and the programs sometimes split songs in two. By the late '70s, the cassette had won the tape war.Hide Caption 3 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosForward motion – The car was a major driver of the cassette's popularity. Some cars had tried offering phonographs, but the needle would skip with every bump of the road. Cassettes were portable and easy to use. Suddenly, drivers no longer had to listen to their AM/FM radios, but could play tapes of music they liked.Hide Caption 4 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photos'Is it live ... ?' – An ongoing problem with cassettes was fidelity -- they just didn't have the same capabilities as LPs or reel-to-reel tapes. But as the technology improved, manufacturers pushed to showcase the cassette's audio possibilities. One of the most famous ad campaigns was from Memorex, a tape manufacturer that used Ella Fitzgerald's vocals to ask the question, "Is it live? Or is it Memorex?"Hide Caption 5 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosBlown away – Maxell, another tape manufacturer, promoted its fidelity through an iconic photograph of a man sitting in a chair, literally being blown away by the quality (and probably the loudness) of his taped music. For years, makers such as Maxell, TDK and Denon touted the abilities of their tapes and the magnetic substances that coated them.Hide Caption 6 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosTape snarls – There were drawbacks to cassettes. If your equipment was misbehaving, your tape could start unwinding in the machine, leaving you with a mess. The classic way to get the cassette back to normal was to stick a standard hexagonal pencil in a tape spool and spin it to tighten the tape back together. If the tape was broken, however, you were probably out of luck.Hide Caption 7 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosSingled out – The UK band Bow Wow Wow, led by 14-year-old Annabella Lwin, put out "C-30 C-60 C-90 Go," the first cassette single, in 1980. It was a celebration of taping that had a caustic edge: the lyrics promoted home taping, which record companies associated with piracy.Hide Caption 8 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosArising from the Dead – The record companies weren't necessarily wrong. Many people borrowed LPs from friends and made their own tapes from them; others took their tape recorders to concerts and made bootleg live recordings, which were then traded or sold on the black market. At least one band, the Grateful Dead, turned the practice into a virtue, however. The Dead encouraged fans to tape their shows, leading to a thriving exchange that continues to this day ... though the technology has changed.Hide Caption 9 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosMixing it up – Who needed a radio station or DJ to play music? With cassettes, you could make your own "mix tape" and use it to romance prospective dates, impress new friends or simply entertain yourself. There was an art to the mix tape, from establishing the flow of one song into the next to simply making sure that you didn't run out of time on your C-90. Authors such as Nick Hornby ("High Fidelity") and Rob Sheffield ("Love Is a Mix Tape") romanticized the idea.Hide Caption 10 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosThe personal player – Sony's introduction of the Walkman in 1979 revolutionized music consumption. No more plugging your headphones into a component stereo; now you could listen to your tapes on the go. The device was the forerunner of other personal music players, including the Discman (Sony's personal CD player) and Apple's iPod.Hide Caption 11 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosThe boombox – In some respects, the boombox was the opposite of the Walkman, a giant radio and cassette player with huge speakers. You could, of course, play it in your dorm room, but more common was to tote it around in public, sharing your tastes with the world. It became associated with hip-hop culture: LL Cool J's "Radio" LP featured a boombox on its cover, and Spike Lee's "Do the Right Thing" featured a character, Radio Raheem, who carried one around.Hide Caption 12 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosPop culture playback – Naturally, the cassette became prominent in popular culture. It played a key role in such movies as "Wayne's World" (where it played "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the car); "Sneakers" (as a voice ID); and, of course, "Say Anything," where John Cusack's boombox will play Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" forever.Hide Caption 13 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosOccasional flops – For all its versatility, the cassette wasn't always a success. The "cassingle," an attempt to replace the 45-rpm single, flopped. The UK magazine SFX marketed itself as "the only music magazine on C-60," but failed in less than a year.Hide Caption 14 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosFading away in the digital age – With the rise of the CD, introduced in 1982, the cassette started fading from the music scene. In 1992, prerecorded cassettes still accounted for more than half of music sales; four years later, it was down to a quarter. When recordable CDs came out, it seemed like the cassette was doomed -- and downloadable music didn't help. Hide Caption 15 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosThe cassette comes back – But there's always a place for audio technologies. Underground metal acts latched on to the cassette as a lo-fi medium attuned to their needs. Major labels quickly caught on, and acts such as MGMT released recordings on cassette. Like vinyl, also left for dead a few years ago, cassettes found a new willing market.Hide Caption 16 of 1750 years of the cassette 17 photosCassette Store Day – The new interest has led to Cassette Store Day, celebrated September 7. At least 100 stores participated in the promotion, and a number of artists -- including Suicidal Tendencies and the Flaming Lips -- put out releases. The cassette may never regain the cachet it had in the '80s, but as an audio medium that's cheap, fun and tactile, there's obviously room for a playback. Hide Caption 17 of 17Story highlightsSony has made a cassette tape that can store more than 1,100 iPod ClassicsA single cartridge can hold 185 terabytes of dataIt may be sold, but likely not for personal media (CNN)Forget the cloud, and rework your mental image of those mysterious data centers. Sony has reinvented a tool for storing a mind-numbing amount of data:A cassette tape.But this isn't one of those rattling plastic tapes you used to compile your ultimate summer road-trip jams and, too often, were probably forced to rewind with a pencil.Sony's record-breaking magnetic tape technology allows it to store 180 terabytes of data on a single cartridge. That's the same amount of storage as 1,184 iPod Classics, Apple's roomiest music player, which can hold about 40,000 songs. Using that number, Sony's new cassette could technically store about 47.3 million songs of its own.That's enough jams for a really long road trip -- say, driving in Atlanta during a snowstorm.If you're more of a movie buff, think of it this way. The cartridge, which stores 148GB of data per inch of tape, has room for 3,700 Blu-ray discs full of your favorites.The number obliterates the standing record, set in 2010 when Fuji developed a tape that could hold 35 terabytes of data.Sony, which worked with IBM on the tape, presented the new technology over the weekend at InterMag Europe, a magnetics conference in Dresden, Germany.In very simple terms, the technology involves shrinking the microscopic magnetic particles on tape that store data. On average, the new particles are 7.7 nanometers wide. There are 10 million nanometers in one centimeter.In a news release, Sony said it would like to pursue a commercial use for the new cassette tape technology, as well as continuing to improve it.But if you're dreaming of someday popping that tape into some sort of digital-age boombox and pushing "play," you may be in for a bit of a disappointment.Tape has the potential for massive data storage, but it's unwieldy to actually use. Recording to, and retrieving data from, tape takes a lot longer than digital storage devices and players we've become accustomed to in an era of Web streaming. So, it's a lot more likely that tape will be used to back up huge databases than to save, and play, our music collections. That's too bad. We liked the idea of needing only one cassette for a cross-country drive.More from TechIs Apple profit too dependent on the iPhone?Laser procedure can turn brown eyes blueEl CibercaféPowered by Livefyre
