An Ohio house committee has recommended a bill that would re-prioritize funding for family planning services so that Planned Parenthood would be last on the list. The organization estimates that could cost it more than $1 million for birth control services it provides to low-income Ohio women and men. But backers of this plan say it's about giving women more choices when it comes to family planning services. Ohio Public Radio's Jo Ingles has details.
Planned Parenthood of Ohio is eligible for state and federal dollars to help pay for family planning services for low-income women. John Coates, the executive Director of Ohio Right to Life, says there are many other community health clinics and private practices that have been providing those same services to low-income women. And Coates says they deserve to get funding, too.
COATES: "Furthermore, there are many hospitals and free clinics around the state that provide these same services in addition to primary care and comprehensive health care, often at little or no cost to the patient."
Backers of the bill say it would reprioritize funding for family planning to allocate it more fairly and provide more options for health providers for women. Republican lawmaker Jay Hottinger says Planned Parenthood focuses its services on low-income women in urban areas, leaving many women in rural areas without these services. And he says even in urban areas, there are a lot of clinics providing important services for women that should be getting government dollars, too.
HOTTINGER: "For example, in Cincinnati, there are four planned parenthood. There are 33 breast and cervical cancer screening centers in Cincinnati. Cleveland, I talked about two Planned Parenthood facilities. There are 11 breast and cervical centers. Dayton goes from one to 18. Toledo one to 16. Columbus five to 12. Youngstown one to 11. In regards to access, how is this not significantly—a significant improvement?"
Denise Leipold, Executive Director of Right to Life of Northeast Ohio says while Planned Parenthood is not allowed, by law, to use government money for abortions, the money it does get for other services allows the organization to free up its own dollars for that purpose.
LEIPOLD: "91 percent of all pregnant clients that go into Planned Parenthood come out with an abortion. That is clear statistics that show that abortion is indeed a method of family planning at Planned Parenthood."
Planned Parenthood disputes that claim. It says federal money is separated and not used for abortion. And it says abortion makes up only a very small part of the services the organization provides.
As lawmakers came out of the committee hearing, they were greeted by a long line of Planned Parenthood supporters who lined the hallway, chanting.
After the hearing, backers of Planned Parenthood told reporters why this bill should not pass. Dr. Rob Crane, from Columbus, says Planned Parenthood saves the government money in the long run. And he cites a study that shows the more access women have to reliable birth control, the fewer unintended pregnancies and abortions.
CRANE: "So they should be actually providing Planned Parenthood with more money to give good long-acting contraception rather than reducing it. This is not just a war on women. This is a war on reason."
Democrats say majority Republicans in the Ohio Statehouse should not be trying to defund Planned Parenthood. State Senator Nina Turner says she's sick of the legislature, made up of mostly men, trying to take good birth control options away from Ohio women.
TURNER: "You know, the GOP, if they had their way, the Grand Old Party had their way, they'd want women barefoot, pregnant and back home by 5 o'clock p.m. to cook dinner with no voices and no choices. And, as one woman tweeted me yesterday, back in a binder."
Turner says lawmakers should have gotten the message in last week's elections that most Ohio women do not want lawmakers to be tackling these types of issues.
TURNER: "It is funny that our Republican colleagues always like to wax poetic about smal government while they want government small enough to fit inside a woman's womb. And we are sick of it, we are tired of it and we are not going to take it any more."
Even if the plan ends up getting full approval in the Ohio House, it would still have to pass the Ohio Senate before becoming law and the clock is ticking. The two year legislative session ends when the year ends.

Memorial Stadium Closed for Structural Assessment
Charlotte, NC- The
American Legion Memorial Stadium
is closed while an engineering firm is being sought to assess the structural integrity of seating areas and to provide recommendations for repairs. A portion of the seating area was closed and repairs made in 2010 due to an underground drainage system collapse. Park and Recreation officials estimate that it may take up to six weeks to complete the assessment phase. As a precaution, the Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation Department will contact groups and organizations that have booked the facility to assist them with finding other event sites. The community will continue to be updated on the status of the assessment, the recommended repairs, and if possible, a schedule for the re-opening of the facility.
The stadium has been the site of a variety of events such as high school and collegiate football games, the Shrine Bowl from 1937 through 2000, concerts, including Pearl Jam, Hootie & the Blowfish, and K.C. & The Sunshine Band, a viewing area for the July 4th fireworks shows, professional wrestling matches, motocross races, one of the 2008 presidential campaign stops, and most recently, filming of the movie "Leatherheads," featuring George Clooney.
The American Legion Memorial Stadium opened in 1936 as the first major sports facility erected in the City of Charlotte. Funding for the facility was part of relief programs extended to cities during the Great Depression.

Barley grass is better than any of the pharmaceutical medication I have ever been prescribed. I ran out 2 weeks ago and thought I would try the prescribed medicine and I now have chronic cough, sore stomach (acid burns) lethargy and poor complexion, Have just bought a supply of barley grass and will never return to my prescribed medication as I never had any of these symptons with barley grass - my complexion was complimented on repeatedly.

Legend is a 2011 dystopian young adult novel by Marie Lu. It is the first book of a trilogy, followed by Prodigy and Champion.[1]
Day, the Republic's fifteen-year-old most wanted criminal, breaks into Los Angeles Central Hospital in hopes of stealing a cure for the plague that threatens his family. He also kills Metias Iparis, a military captain, as he struggles to escape and loses his special pendant.
June Iparis, a fifteen-year-old prodigy, is chosen to find and capture Day, who is charged with the murder of Metias Iparis (June's older brother), amongst other crimes against the country. Though born into an elite family in one of the wealthiest districts in the Republic, June poses as a girl from the slums in order to search for Day, coincidentally collecting Day's fallen pendant as she observes the crime scene. When attempting to lure Day by pretending to be a merchant with a plague cure that doesn't work, June decided to look for Day herself.
After getting injured in a 'Skiz' fight, June is circumstantially taken into the care of Day and his young partner in crime and only friend, Tess. Day and June realize that they're falling for each other, they kiss, but still keep their true identities secret. Though Day trusts June almost blindly, June gradually realizes who her companion is through several clues, including the occasion when Day subconsciously reaches for his pendant at his throat - the pendant June has in her pocket. She follows Day to his home and notices a marking on the door of his house which indicates that someone inside is infected with the plague. Remembering her hatred for Metias's murderer, June then turns Day over to the authorities.
The next morning, military medical trucks and soldiers surround Day's home. As Day rushes to save his family, June follows him, but the military captures Day's family, forcing Day out of hiding. He tries to resist capture, but Captain Thomas, Metias's and June's close friend, shoots Day's mother under order, killing her. Day reacts by trying to kill the soldiers in vain. Commander Jameson, June's commanding officer, shoots Day in the leg.
Day wakes as a captive of the Republic. After June returns from her mission, Thomas starts pursuing her romantically. Day is questioned by June, Commander Jameson, and eventually Thomas, who has a personal hatred for Day because he kissed June.
The more Day speaks with June, the closer they grow and the more they come to understand each other. She finally researches Day's real identity - Daniel Altan Wing - and discovers he scored a perfect score on his Trial, just as she did. The authorities have told Day that he had failed his Trial, which is what Day has come to believe. While June was moved into a prestigious program because of her high Trial score, Day was experimented on and abandoned, supposedly dead like the others who failed their Trial.
Day insists that he did not kill Metias. June takes a closer look at the pictures of the scene of her brother's murder and comes to the conclusion that Day is indeed right, and suspects that Thomas was the murderer. Along the way, she discovers a series of coded messages from her brother, who had stumbled upon a conspiracy and knew his life might be in danger. Metias had learned that their parents (who supposedly died in an automobile accident) were murdered after investigating the truth about the plague - that it is genetically engineered by the Republic in order to kill off people with "weak genes." It is then revealed that Thomas did indeed kill Metias.
June seeks out Kaede, who is the one who injured June in the Skiz fight and one of the Patriots, a group of anti-Republic rebels. She finds that Tess has taken refuge with them after Day is taken by the Republic. June negotiates with the Patriots for their help, freeing Day on the morning of his execution. The plan does not perfectly execute, as Commander Jameson moved up the execution time, and Day's older brother John sacrifices himself by posing at the execution as Day so June and Day can escape.
Three days later, June and Day take shelter in an old train car and plan to go to Las Vegas, where the Patriots are, so they can check on Tess before heading out to find Day's little brother Eden. Day also explains why he chose his nickname, saying that everything happens each day, and that everything can be possible the next day. "'You try to walk in the light.'"
Lu has said that she was inspired by the movie Les Miserables, and sought to recreate the conflict between Valjean and Javert in a teenage version.[2]
Susan Carpenter, writing in the Los Angeles Times calls Legend "a taut and exciting romp for all readers with enough inventive details to keep things from becoming cliché",[3] while The New York Times' Ridley Pearson called it "[a] fine example of commercial fiction with razor-sharp plotting, depth of character and emotional arc."[4]
Legend's film rights have been sold to CBS Films, with Twilight producers Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen to produce. Jonathan Levine, director of 50/50, is currently set to direct the film, with newcomers Andrew Barrer and Gabe Ferrari writing the script.[5]

I was a little taken aback when I got my receipt from the funeral parlor, on the bottom of the receipt, after the bill, it read, "Thank you. Please come again."
Enjoy our collection of death humor, after all that's what they are here for!
There is nothing fun about a funeral, but despite that, I had a good laugh at the following reaction by my two children.
We, along with a bunch of other relatives, were following the hearse of my late great aunt. When my daughter, who always tends to focus on the morbid things in life raised the dreaded question, "Dad, what's going to happen to us when you die?" My son who was busy texting one of his friends at the time barely glanced up from his phone. "We'll go in the limousine dummy."
A man hears from a doctor that his end is near so he heads over to a lawyer to write a will. The secretary watches as the man walks into the Lawyer's office and as three minutes later the man walks off in a huff. "Can I help you?" asks the secretary, dashing after the obviously upset man. "HELP ME? THIS GUY IS CRAZY! I asked him to help me write a will and he says to me: 'sure, let me just ask you a few questions and then leave it all to me.' "I've heard before how lawyers are dishonest but this just takes the cake!"
Suzie was all alone. It was two months since her dear Herbie had passed, and she just couldn't seem to move on. "Listen here Suzie", said her good friend Barbara, "maybe you should go see a psychic? One of my friends did it after her husband died and it made her feel so much better knowing that her dearest was happy."
So that's how, on the next Tuesday, Suzie found herself in a dim room with a crystal ball and a psychic talking in a calm voice. "Is he here?" Suzie asked. "Yes, I sense him," was her reply. "Can you ask him if he's happy?" Suzie hesistanly asked. "He's putting his hand to his mouth like he wants to smoke" said the psychic.
"Oh, of course" said Suzie, "he needs a cigar. Herbie can never last more then a few hours without a cigar. I guess they don't have cigars up there. Did he say where he is or how I could get one to him?" Questioned Suzie urgently. "Hmm", said the psychic. "I can't seem to get that question across to him. But then again," said the psychic after a brief pause, "he didn't say anything about needing a lighter!"
Bobby was sitting on the porch talking to his Grandpa when he innocently asked, "Grandpa, do you know how to make animal sounds?"
"I sure do" Grandpa replied. "What sort of animal sound would you like to hear?"
"How about a toad? Do you know how to sound like a toad?"
"Sure", said Grandpa, cupping his hand to his mouth, "croaaak croaaak, how did you like that?!"
"Yipee!" screamed Bobby jumping up and down, "We are going to Miami!"
"Huh?" Questioned Grandpa. "Why's that?"
"Because Grandma said so," Bobby patiently explained, "she said that after you croak we'll all go to Miami!"
So, I'm sure you all heard of John Hoki, the inventor of the Hoki Poki. While John's life is well known, what's not so well know, is a story that happened at his funeral in the late 1940's.
Being that John was quite a popular fella, mostly due to the Hoki Poki, which spread like wildfire through his small Middle Eastern town, thousands showed up for his funeral, all coming to bid him farewell.
Well, it happened right before the ceremony was about to begin, when the undertaker gently lifted John up to place him in the coffin. The problem that arose was that as soon as they put his right foot in…….(I'm sure you can figure out the rest.)
Adam woke up suddenly, sweating all over. "What's the problem", asked his wife. "Are you OK?" "I just dreamed that I died!" responded a shaken Adam. "And it was so bad up there, and that's why you're sweating all over?" asked his wife. "You bet!" exclaimed Adam. "I got up there, and was right in front of G-d himself, when he suddenly sneezed…..and I didn't know what to say to him! Whoa was that traumatic!"
"What the heck is going on here?" said an angry man storming into the florist shop. "I just lost one of my main clients and it's your fault!"
"Why don't you calm down a bit" said the lady behind the counter, "and let us know what exactly happened."
"Well," said the man "My biggest client moved to a new location, and to be nice I called you guys up and asked you to send him some flowers with a note saying "congratulations on your new location."
He calls me up and says to me "what's the big deal with sending me a note that says "rest in peace?!"
"Oh no!" she sighed, "now I know why I got a nasty message from the funeral parlor!"
Eddy was just a regular guy. Except for the fact that he was an only child and the fact that his billionaire father was breathing his last.
Since Eddy was a soon to be billionaire it only made sense that he should have a woman to share his riches with. Eddy approached his childhood crush. "Hey Sandra, I may look like a regular guy, but I'm soon gonna be a billionaire! Do you wanna come home with me?"
"Sure thing" Sandra replied, "I would love to come home with you."
And that's the story how Sandra became Eddie's Stepmother.

here are some mistakes that happen to me during a game: - Bug Splash - Disconnected with the "attempting to reconnect" legend, but never reconnect (have not internet problems). - Cant use skills or summoner spells - the camera "freeze", i can still move and see the other players move, but cant move the camera... - the game turns into sepia color and start running framed. i had format the pc, reinstall the game, update all drivers, but these errors still happens. Any ideas how can i solve this?
any idea?
If you can't move the camera in game, try pressing Y? I mean, Y locks the camera to follow only your hero, or i got you wrong.

Yep them suckers are indeed dangerous !www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,583377,00.html An enraged and hungry wild boar attacked a hunter, who then bled to death. In recent months wild boars, whom zoologists consider to be Germany's "most dangerous animal", have expanded their comfort zones with city centers now also falling under their reign of destruction. This year alone, boars chased a pair of policemen onto a balcony in a suburb of Frankfurt, sent a pensioner to the emergency room in Berlin, and broke into a home improvement store before being shot to death at the checkout counter in North Rhine-Westphalia. Now the stakes are even higher as an unlucky hunter, a married 72-year-old man from Berlin, lost his life when trying to dispatch a wild beast spotted feasting on maize in a cornfield 70 kilometers outside Berlin. By the time other hunters found the man, he was lying on the ground bleeding heavily from his knee. They called an ambulance but it was too late. The boar warrior had punctured a major artery and the 72-year-old sportsman bled to death.

I've shot more than my fair share of wild boars here in Texas. Probably several hundred anyway. My S&W PC 629 Hunter 44 Magnum thrownig a 305 grain hardcast semi-wadcutter bullet powered with 25.5 grains of H110 and ignited with CCI Magnum primer... It's a ONE-SHOT KILL every time. Give me a round-trip ticket to Berlin... and I'll kill them all.

Project done for Benoy Architects (London)
The "Chanel Bag" and the "Wai Thai"
The "Chanel Bag" and the "Wai Thai"
Location, Scope & Challenges . Located in the center of Bangkok right by Chao Phraya Riverfront, this shopping mall is integrated in a masterplan designed
by Foster & Partners, which comprises 2 residential towers, 1 shopping
mall, 1 observation tower and 1 riverfront plaza. Our scope was to design this 9 floors stories high shopping mall,
which basically challenged the standard scale / height of these type of
commercial buildings. The other challenge was the client itself, which allowed
us very little "conceptual room" to maneuver, since she (a very wealthy and
well travelled Thai lady) had very strong ideas concerning the design direction
for which the project should go for. Consequently, the result of this project
was a mix between some our of client's very specific ideas and requests with
others of our own.
General & Spatial Concepts . The shopping mall was divided in two main areas: an exclusive riverfront facing luxury mall area, to be treated conceptually as a partially independent building and on the back a generic shopping mall area dedicated to high street retail spread vertically along 9 floors, each one of these with its own different character. The ground floor would be a modern reinterpretation of a traditional Thai market (which included water canals, as requested by the client) and the last floor would be and open rooftop terrace, which included a multipurpose auditorium, roof gardens, sports facilities and panoramic rooftop restaurants. Internally the idea was to create a fluid circulation space based on a figure of "8" by overlapping slightly different shape voids around one big central space and two "buildings within buildings", which would be treated and cladded as such. The result was a "cathedral type space" where natural light flows from the skylights located 8 floors above creating a pretty impressive spatial retail environment.
Massing & Façade Concepts . As requested by the client, the main building should work as a simple backdrop for the luxury building. It should be "simple and elegant like a Chanel bag, mainly white and with golden or silver accent lines" (client's quote). Our minimalistic approach was equally simple, objective and pragmatic. We proposed the simple rectangular massing to be cladded in diamond shape white concrete panels, which unfold along the façade towards the river like Japanese origami. The edges of these panels would form recessed 20 cm "U" shape channels cladded in golden aluminium panels, from which at night continuous LED lights would glow. The luxury building in another hand, according to the client request, was to be more impressive and based conceptually in a "Kratong", a lotus flower shape offering that Thai people place floating down the rivers in special occasions. In alternative we offered the client a second option, which we felt was much better and appropriate for the site, since it was more abstract and not so much figurative and/or "tacky" (even) as the "Kratong". Yet, deeply rooted in Thai culture. We called it the "Wai Thai" option and its basic inspiration was the "Wai", the typical Thai gesture of putting two hands together as a sign of welcoming, tribute or respect. The profile or movement of the "Wai" also coincides with the shape of the traditional Thai roofs and it was this basic shape that we used and reinterpreted in a bold contemporary architectural language. The client liked it. However, unfortunately, she end up choosing the first option, which corresponded in fact to her fist, somehow, preconceived idea.

Probe: Justice Dept. Vetted Applicants for Political Beliefs
The Justice Department is being accused of a discriminatory ideological bias in the hiring of new lawyers over the last six years. In a new report, the Justice Department's inspector general says top officials illegally rejected many qualified applications because they were deemed as "liberal." The applications were part of a recruitment program tapping young law school graduates. The shift began under then-Attorney General John Ashcroft in 2002 and was said to accelerate under his successor, Alberto Gonzales. Emails show applications were vetted for "leftist commentary" or "buzz words" like environmental and social justice as grounds for rejections. Membership in groups such as the American Constitution Society, Greenpeace or the Poverty and Race Research Action Council were seen as drawbacks, while membership with the right-wing Federalist Society was seen positively. The inspector general's preliminary findings are the first in an ongoing probe into the overall politicization of the Justice Department.
House Delays Medicare Payment Cuts
On Capitol Hill, the House has voted to delay a cut in payments to physicians who treat Medicare patients. The Bush administration's plan to reduce payments by ten percent has stoked fears many doctors will opt out of treating Medicare patients altogether. The measure now goes to the Senate, where it's expected to be closely fought.
Drug Lobby Spent Record $168M in 2007
New figures show another record year for drug industry lobbying on Capitol Hill. According to the Center for Public Integrity, pharmaceutical companies and their trade groups spent a record $168 million last year, up 32 percent from 2006. More than 90 percent of the spending came from forty companies and three trade groups. Overall, the pharmaceutical industry has spent $1 billion lobbying the US government over the last decade.
Immunity-Backing Dems Netted Higher Share of Telecom Donations
Meanwhile, a new analysis shows Democratic Congress members who changed their vote to support immunizing telecom companies in last week's FISA bill have on average received thousands more from phone companies than those Democrats who have voted consistently against immunity. Ninety-four Democrats voted against immunity as recently as March but changed their votes to support it last week. According to MAPlight.org, these Democrats have received an average $8,000 in telecom contributions over the last three years. The 116 Democrats who remain opposed to immunity received on average nearly $5,000.
Mugabe Dismisses Calls to Delay Vote
In Zimbabwe, President Robert Mugabe is defying international pressure to cancel a run-off election marred by allegations of intimidation and the withdrawal of his opponent. Addressing a rally of supporters, Mugabe said he would proceed with Friday's vote.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe: "Raising a lot of noise for nothing, absolutely nothing. We will proceed with our elections. The verdict is our verdict. Other people can say what they want, but the elections are ours. We are a sovereign state, and that is it."
Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai won the first round of elections in March but withdrew from the run-off, saying he could not ask people to die voting for him. Tsvangirai has sought refuge in the Dutch embassy in Harare out of what he says is concern for his life. On Tuesday, Tsvangirai said he was prepared to emerge from hiding but renewed his call for the election's delay.
Morgan Tsvangirai: "The government can do what it wants. There will be no election, because I, as the contender, will not be part of that election. The people will not be part of that election, because it is ridiculous to go in an election of that kind. It's a one-man competition and therefore self-delusionary to think that one can go in a one-man race."
Tsvangirai and his supporters say forces loyal to Mugabe have killed dozens and displaced thousands in a campaign of intimidation. Meanwhile, in the United States, Mugabe has come under criticism from the civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jackson and Mugabe have known each other for decades and worked together in the campaign against South African apartheid. Speaking on CNN, Jackson called Mugabe a "heresy to democracy."
Rev. Jesse Jackson: "Well, he was a hero. Now, he's kind of a heresy to democracy. That's why the AU and others must step up their diplomatic initiatives, one, to get humanitarian relief back into Zimbabwe; two, to get a free press back in to talk to both leaders about some kind of reconciliation. The opposition withdrawal today is really a way of saying they cannot take the heat of violence. And so, the people there deserve an open, free and fair democracy. And we must somehow reconcile these two extremes. We cannot, as it were, leave Zimbabweans suffering in isolation."
Israel Closes Gaza Border, Launches Attacks
In Israel and the Occupied Territories, the Israeli government has re-imposed border restrictions on the Gaza Strip that were slightly eased under a ceasefire with Hamas. Israel says it reinstated the closures following rocket fire from militants with the group Islamic Jihad. The rockets came in apparent response to the killing of two Palestinian militants in the West Bank where the ceasefire does not apply. Speaking at a donor's conference in Berlin, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad called the Israeli attack a provocation.
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad: "I am now departing from the written text to tell you that as early as the early morning hours of today, there was yet another incursion in the city of Nablus where two people actually were killed. This is an example, precise example, of the kind of activity that has to stop, and stop immediately and promptly, if in fact we are going to be able to succeed in the provision of security to our people."
Palestinian medical officials say Israel has launched attacks in the Gaza Strip despite the ceasefire. An eighty-year-old Palestinian farmer was reportedly shot twice shortly after the border restrictions were re-imposed. In Gaza, Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri criticized Israeli actions but said Hamas would respect the truce.
Sami Abu Zuhri: "Hamas is keen to maintain the deal on calm and for that is interested in treating any problems that occur through dialogue. Hamas is following up what happened with the Islamic Jihad and other factions to ensure
maintaining the agreement over the calm."
US Defends Palestinian Boycott
Meanwhile, back in Berlin, the US is facing criticism for its refusal to support lifting the international boycott on the Palestinian government. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice defended the US stance.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "To my good friend Amr Moussa, I just want to make certain that we understand fully that no one would be happier to see a reconciliation of the Palestinian people than I would. I think it would be very good for the Palestinian people. But that reconciliation has to take place on a basis that at least observes the international agreements to which the Palestinians themselves have signed on, because you cannot have reconciliation for peace if there is not a partner that respects the right of the other partner to exist."
The US has been accused of hypocrisy because it refuses to demand Israel also respect international agreements or recognize Palestine's right to exist.
7 Americans Die in Iraq Attacks
In Iraq, at least seven Americans have died in attacks over the last two days. Earlier today, three US troops and an interpreter were killed in a roadside bombing in Baghdad. The attack came one day after ten people, including four Americans, were killed in a bombing in Sadr City. At least twenty-five US servicemembers have died this month. Meanwhile, Tuesday, at least ninety Iraqis were injured when a bombing struck a café in Mosul.
White House Rejected EPA Ruling by Ignoring Email
In environmental news, the New York Times is reporting the White House refused to accept an Environmental Protection Agency ruling on pollutants by simply ignoring the email containing the ruling. The ruling called greenhouse gases pollutants that should be regulated and controlled. EPA officials say the White House informed them the email containing the ruling would not be opened. The document was the EPA's official response to a Supreme Court ruling ordering it to determine whether greenhouse gases endanger the environment. The EPA is finally set to respond this week with a watered-down version that only considers the issues raised by following the ruling to issue a judgment.
5 Killed in Kentucky Plant Shooting
In Kentucky, a plastics plant employee killed four co-workers earlier today before taking his own life. Two others were injured in the shooting.
San Francisco Residents Seek "George W. Bush Sewage Plant"
And in San Francisco, residents are proposing an unusual memorial for President Bush once he leaves office. A group calling itself the Department of Damned-With-Faint-Praise is planning to ask voters to approve renaming a water treatment sewage plant the George W. Bush Sewage Plant. The proposal would go on the ballot this November.

First off, you'll all be pleased to know that I figured out how to use the Closed Captioning on my TV so as to prevent mistakes like last week's "incompetent"/"incontinent dog" fiasco. Mind you, I lost the instruction manual for my TV a long time ago, so it took me a great deal of time and effort to figure out how to get the closed captioning to work. And now I don't know how to make it go away, so I have words all over my screen all the time. But that's how much I care about you guys. Anyway, we open on a pizza place filled with arcade games and a giant rat mascot that is totally not a Chuck E. Cheese's. I used to beg my parents to have my birthday party there but they said no and I could never understand why. Now that I am an adult, I understand. And to be truthful, that animatronic robot band and the ballpit that was just a little too deep always kinda scared me, so it was for the best. A harried-looking young man passes a girl and tells her to get her own soda refill on his way to a table full of birthday partiers. He asks them if they're ready to sing the "Ralphy's Rumpus Birthday Rump Shake," which sounds pretty risqué for a children's song. The waiter and a guy in what could either be a squirrel, rat, or some sort of grey beaver costume dance in circles and sing the Ralphy's Rumpus Birthday Rump Shake song until the waiter looks sick and gets double vision. I'm pretty sure that happens to every adult who enters one of those places, though. Then he pukes all over the kids' table and collapses, holding his chest. The Magic School Bus Cam zooms inside his chest into his heart, which is zapped back to life by some EMTs with a defibrillator. The soda girl from before and a younger boy run up and say that the waiter is their brother. The EMT tells them to call their parents. The girl says that their parents are dead. The EMT just makes a face like "Ooh, that's hard luck, kiddies."
Post-credits, Wilson's car is being towed. He's confused as to why until the tow truck operator hands him a "love note from Detective Tritter" and I don't even get five minutes into this episode before I have to be extremely pissed off at the Detective Shitter, Omnipotent God of New Jersey storyline.
Over at PPTH, House has no sympathy for the eighteen-year-old orphan raising his brother and sister, since House has seen it all before on Party of Five, which he claims was "The O.C. of its day" even though it wasn't. Fox executives pat themselves on the back for getting not one but two of their shows mentioned in the same scene. House guesses that the stress of being a new parent and dealing with dead parents explains all of Patient Jack's health problems except for itchy feet, which Cameron explains away as athlete's foot. House accuses her of ignoring a symptom, and she gets huffy. Foreman is a neurologist, so he thinks they're looking at a brain problem. Chase thinks Jack caught something from one of the "feral kids" at the restaurant; Jack has barfed up so many fluids that he got an arrhythmia, causing the heart attack. And also, somehow, itchy feet. House says he knows the answer, but that he won't tell the Cottages. Instead, he'd rather make a game out of it and let them figure it out for themselves. Much like Encyclopedia Brown could only ask one question before solving his case, the Cottages get one test each to help them make a diagnosis. Their (literal) deadline is lunchtime. House scribbles something on the back of an envelope and posts it on the Whiteboard O'Symptoms. "The game is a itchy foot," the envelope Sherlock Holmes.

The Warm Weather Has Brought The Bee's Back Out
Yesterday the weather outside was quite nice, the warmth brought the Bee's back out. Hopefully the Bee's being out is a sign that Spring is near. I cannot wait until the weather warms up stays warm. I cannot wait until the Spring when the Frogs, Lizards, Snakes, and insects will be back out. The bee in this photo is a Honeybee I am not the exact of Bee it is. I took this photo with a Canon Eos7d and a Canon 100mm macro lens.
Two Bullfrogs
This is a photo of two American Bullfrogs out in the pond behind my house. The photo is actually combination of two images taken right after each other with different frogs in focus, merged together to make one picture with both of the Frogs in focus. Below is a video I made that shows the process of manually focus stacking or merging photos of the same subjects with different parts of the image in focus to make one image where everything is in focus. I hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to the youtube channel and leave a comment.
Tree Hopper
The insect in the photo above is one that I have never seen before. I found this insect while I was out in the grassland area my house looking for Bees to photograph. The insect in the photo above is a Tree Hopper. There are over 3200 species of Tree Hoppers in the world. I believe that the Tree Hopper in this photo is a Buffalo Tree hopper. Tree Hoppers are rarely seen outside high up in trees except for when they are young, for a period of about six weeks when they feed on grass and plants down near the forest floor. before they go to spend most of the res of their lives up in the trees.

Rough Green Snake
Rough Green Snake Opheodrys Aestivus (Scientific name) This snake is called the Rough Green Snake due to its scales being rough to the touch. The Rough Green Snake is found throughout the Southeastern United States. These Snakes can be found from Florida to New Jersey and from Indiana to Central Texas. These snakes spend most of their time high up in Trees foraging for insects and Occasionally Tree Frogs to eat. I took these photos in October of 2013 with a Canon Rebel T4i and a Sigma 70-300mm lens.
I have been working on a new type of photography lately, time lapse photography. This is a time lapse video of the fog burning off over the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Red Shrooms (Vermilion Hygrophorus)
These bright Red Mushrooms in these photos are Vermilion Hygrophorus. Vermilion Hygrophorus can range in color from Blood red like the one pictured below to pale Orange. Vermilion Hygrophorus can either be smooth or have a rough texture such as the ones in this picture. The texture on this mushroom almost looks like a spikey apple to me. Vermilion Hygrophorus can grow individually or can grow in clusters. Vermilion Hygrophorus can grow in soil, in grass, moss, or dense forest. These two mushrooms were tiny it was less than half an inch tall I took this photo with a Canon Rebel T4i and a Canon 100mm Macro Lens.
Bullfrog Eyes
This is a photo of an American Bullfrog I took with a Canon Rebel T4i and a Canon 100-400mm lens, out in the small pond behind my house. Frogs have large protruding eyes which give them a near 360 degree field of view, due to the positing and design of their eyes.

Eastern Fence Lizard
The Eastern Fence Lizard scientific name Sceloporus Undulatusis is among the biggest Lizards Found In North Carolina. The Eastern Fence Lizard ranges from 4-7.5-7 inches long. The Eastern Fence Lizard spend a lot of time in the trees which is how they got the nickname of the Pine Lizard. The Eastern Fence Lizard can be found from mid Florida to Upstate New York and as far West as Northern Texas and as far west as Colorado. Fence lizards can live to be up to five years old. The males can be distinguished from the Females by the presence of Blue Spots on the Lizards underbelly. Typically males also differ in color from the females the males are typically brown in color while the females are typically Grey with horizontal black stripes on their blacks.

This is a photo of a Copperhead. The Copperhead is a Venomous snake found all over the Eastern Half of the United States. The Copperhead is found all throughout the eastern half of the United States, the Copperhead can be found from New Hampshire to Texas. The Copper head is referred to as a pit Viper Due to the heat sensing pits which are located on the sides of the snakes head between the snake's eye and nostrils. In North Carolina there are fiver Pit Vipers, the Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Timber Rattlesnake, Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake., and Pygmy Rattlesnake. Pit Vipers such as Copperheads can see both in the infrared and the normal spectrum. These heat sensing ports give Pit Vipers like the Copperhead the ability to sense heat radiating off of things in the range of 5-30 Micrometres. The heat sensing abilities of Pit Viper snakes is so precise that even blind Rattle Snakes are able to strike vulnerable parts of their prey. Scientist estimate that the heat sensing abilities of Pit Vipers are at least 10 times better than the most sensitive Infrared Cameras manufacteured by humans. The ability for pit Vipers to see in Infrared allows the snakes to be able to see and hunt for prey such as field mice which are warm blooded in total darkness. The heat that a field mice gives up shows up very bright in a snakes heat vision. The heat vision in these Snakes is made possible through the utilization of heat detecting membranes located under the Snakes pits. The heat sensing membranes have about 1600 infrared receptor cells that collect infrared light. Nerves transmit the data from the heat sensing membranes to the Snakes brain for processing. The information from the Snakes heat detectors are merged with the information from the snakes eyes, which gives the snake the ability to see in infrared and the normal spectrum at the same time. I took this photo out in the backyard with a Canon 100-400mm lens and a Canon Rebel T4i.

The Lizard in this photo is a Carolina Anole. The Carolina Anole is referred to as the American Chameleon due to its ability to change colors. More information about Carolina Anoles and their ability to change colors can be found by clicking on the link below. I took this photo with a Canon Rebel T4i and a Canon 100-400mm lens
Painted Turtle
This is a photo of a Painted Turtle. I took this photo with a Canon 100-400mm lens and a Canon Rebel T4i. The Painted Turtle is the most common Turtle Found in North America. It can be found from Canada to Northern Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. The Female painted Turtle is larger than the males, male painted Turtles are have shells that are 7 inches long on average while the females can have shells 9 inches long.
Red Bellied Water Snake
This is a photo of a Red Bellied Water Snake. The Red Bellied Water Snake is often miss identified as a Cottonmouth snake. Due to the snake having a white interior inside their mouth and has similar outward appearance as a Cottonmouth. The Red Bellied Water Snake are known to spray attackers with a bad smelling musk and bite them. The Red Bellied Water Snake is found near swamps lakes and rivers. The Red Bellied water snake eats mostly Frogs, Toads, and Salamanders. I took this photo with a Canon 100-400mm lens and a Canon Rebel T4I
The Eastern Newt, also referred to as the Red Spotted Newt ,is found all over the East Coast of the United States. The Eastern Newt is found from Canada to the Great Lakes and as far down south as Texas and Alabama. The Eastern Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens) is the only species of Salamander that is native to North Carolina that has rough skin. Eastern Newts can be found in ponds, marshland, and slow moving streams. I found this Red Spotted Salamander while I was hiking in the Black Mountain Campground in the Pisgah National Forest located in Western North Carolina. I took these photos with a Canon Rebel T4i and Canon 100mm macro lens.
American Bullfrog
Bullfrogs as well as other types of Frogs are very patient they will sit in the same spot for hours and wait for an insect or anything really that gets to close to the Bull Frog will stick its long sticky tongue out and try to make a meal of the insect, or anything else that gets too close the the Bullfrog. The act of a bullfrog snatching up a meal with its long tongue something that I have been trying to get some photo or video of for a while, hopefully this summer that will be something I can capture. This photo was taken with a Canon 100-400mm lens and Canon Rebel T4i.
Frog Hearing
If you have ever been outside on a warm night you know just how loud Frogs and Toads can be. Frogs and Toads call to attract mates. Male Frogs and Toads call to attract females. Below is a video of an American Toad Calling to attract a mate. I took this video in a pond behind my house using a Canon 100mm macro lens and Canon Rebel T4i.
You can see in the video the Toads eardrum is the circular indention behind their eyes. You can also tell from the video that this toad calls quite loud, Frogs and Toads are able to call at upwards of 90 decibels. Frogs and Toads have quite sensitive hearing, it begs the question how do they not damage their eardrums and deafen themselves with their loud calls. Scientist have discovered that Frogs hear with both their ear drums and their lungs and a pressure system builds inside the Frog that minimizes vibrations from internal noises made by the frog. To further elaborate on this I need to talk about how a frogs ear drum works. A frogs ear drum is called a Tympanum. A frogs Tympanum works in ver much the same way that our human ear drums work. A frogs ear drum, just like a humans ear drum is a membrane that is stretched across a ring of cartilage like a snare drum that vibrates. There is rod that is connected to the ear drum , which vibrates by sounds that come at the frog.Remember from school that sound is just pressure waves. The rod sloshes around in the inner ear fluid, which causes microscopic hairs to move, which send signals to the frogs brain for interception. A frogs ear lungs also vibrate when sound waves come toward the frog, although they are less sensitive than the frogs ear drum. Some frogs like the Spring Peeper, pictured right
have a call that are so loud that they heard for up to one mile away. These creatures are so noisy that it is a wonder that they do not hurt their ears and deafen themselves with their own calls. Frogs have a very clever method of making sure that their own loud calls do not hurt their own hearing. In 1988 Scientist Peter Narins who is a professor at UCLA of Physiological science found have found that frogs have an internal pressure system, a closed air loop. that keeps the frogs own ear drum from vibrating excessively from its own call. Scientist have found that pressure builds between their lungs and ear drum, which then equalizes the pressure between the inner and outer surfaces of the frogs ear drum, which greatly cuts down on the vibrations that a frog experiences, from their internal calls. It is also believed that another purpose of the closed loop pressure system is so the Frogs can detect the direction a sound is coming from with its lungs so frogs can escape danger while calling. Being in the vicinity of frogs calling can subject a human to sounds so loud that they are upwards of 90 db ,which can cause discomfort and hearing loss for humans.

Frog Eyes
Frogs due to the positioning and design of their eyes have nearly a 360 degree view. This makes up for the fact that Frogs
are not able to turn their head and look behind them like other animals can. Frogs with their nearly 360 degree of field of view make it difficult for predators to sneak up on them. Frogs also are unable to move their eyes within their eye sockets like humans and other animals can. This causes a Frog to have to turn his head to line up with its prey. Frogs cannot see while they are attacking prey, so they must have their prey lined up when they go in for the strike. Frogs are unable see their prey while they are making a strike because, when their sticky tongue comes out to snatch up an insect their eyes retract into the top of their head. Frogs are near sighted they do not see very well at a distance. Their eyes are extremely sensitive to movement if a Frogs prey does not move they will not detect it. Frogs also have excellent night vision, due to having a mirror like layer in the back of their eye called a Tapetum. The Tapetum helps Frogs reflect and collect ambient light between the back of the eye and the Frogs Cornea. Frogs also use their eyes in a rather interesting way, frogs are unable to swallow like Humans and other animals so they actually push their eyes down into their head to push their food into their stomach.Frogs eyes come in all different colors, Frog eyes ranger from copper to bronze to gold to silver in color, to orange and red, like the Eyes of the Red Eyed Tree Frog.
Frogs have three different eye lids. The third eye lid of a frog is the most interesting. The third eyelid is a clear membrane, it is called a Nictitating membrane, and this eye lid helps the frog to see underwater as well as to hide from predators.
American Toad Calling
It is Spring time here in North Carolina, and the warm weather has brought the toads back out from their burrows, and they have come out of hibernation. The American toad, as well as other frogs , have one thing on their mind after they come out of hibernation ,that is reproduction. The male toads call for the females, and the female toads select the males with the loudest calls as their mate. I took this video on the bank of a pond behind my house. Below we see a male American toad who has climbed onto the back of a female who he has attracted with his calls. When a male assumes this position it is called amplexus, which is a fancy word for mating position. As the female releases her eggs into the water in a long string ,then the male fertilizes them. I took this video and photo with a Canon Rebel T4i and Canon 100mm Macro lens. For the lighting I used a Newer CN-160 led light pod mounted to the top of my camera. Now that the weather is warm, and the frogs and toads have come back out and I am working on some documentary clips about frogs and toads of North Carolina.
American Bullfrog
The Frog in this photo is an American Bullfrog. American Bullfrogs are the largest Frogs found in the United States. American Bullfrogs can measure up to 8 inches from their snout to the back of their bodies. American Bullfrogs often times sit for hours submerged in water, with all but their heads exposed, waiting for prey to come by. American Bullfrogs have a long sticky tongue that they use to snatch up prey that gets too close to them. Hopefully this Spring/Summer I will be able to either get a photograph or a video of a Bullfrog snatching up some prey with its long sticky tongue.
Southern Leopard Frogs Calling
Its Spring Time here in Central North Carolina the Frogs are back out and they are calling. After a long hard winter we see that the Frogs are ready to reproduce. We can see the first Southern Leopard Frog in the video's calls were successful in attracting a Female. The video below is a video that I shot with a Neewer 160 Led light pod and Canon RebelT4i and Canon 100mm macro lens. My next goal is to try get some video of the illusive spring Peepers calling.

The Rain Has Brought The Tree Frogs Back Out
The first warm rain has brought the Tree Frogs back out of hibernation. The Frog in this photo is an American Green Tree Frog. I took this photo with a Canon Rebel T4i and Canon 100mm Macro lens. This was the last photo I was able to get before the battery in my camera died. Hopefully in the coming days I will have time to go out and look for more Tree Frogs to photograph.
Spotted Salamander
This is a photo of a Spotted Salamander. I took this photo in the small, shallow pond behind my house. I took this photo using a Canon Rebel T4i and a Canon 100mm Macro lens. The Spotted salamander is one of the Largest species of Salamanders found in North Carolina, the Spotted Salamander can be up to 9 inches in length. In the wild Spotted Salamanders can live to be up to 20 years old. The Spotted Salamander can be found in heavily forested areas in the Mountain and Piedmont regions of North Carolina. The Spotted Salamander is most active at night, and Is rarely seen because it spends most of its time underground. The Spotted salamander only comes out at night to find prey, as well in the Spring when its mating season. In my previous located below post I talked about how Spotted Salamanders lay their eggs in the early Spring in shallow pools.
sources, and more information about spotted salamander
Spotted Salamander Laying Eggs
The spotted Salamander is a a large Salamander, it is one of the largest Salamanders found in North Carolina. The Spotted Salamander can be found all through the deciduous forest of Canada and the Eastern United States, The Spotted Salamanders can be found from Nova Scotia to Southern Georgia and as far west as Eastern Texas. The Spotted Salamander ranges in size from 5.9 inches to 9.8 inches long. The Spotted Salamander can live up to twenty years. Spotted Salamanders usually range in color from black, to grey, and to dark green, with yellow spots. Spotted Salamanders spend a lot of their time underground, and are rarely seen. The Spotted Salamander only only comes out after a rain and to look for food, at night. Spotted Salamanders diets consist of earthworms, snails, spiders, centipedes and other insects. Salamanders like other amphibians hibernate for the winter. Spotted Salamanders come out of hibernation in the early Spring to breed. I took this photo on a warm February night of 20014, after some pretty heavy rains had fallen. The photos show a female Spotted Salamander laying and attaching her eggs to a small twig underwater,in a very shallow pond behind my house. I took this photo using a Canon 100mm Macro Lens and Neewer 160 Led Light attached to my camera. After the eggs are laid Green Algae grows over the eggs to help camouflage the eggs so that Fish, and Frogs will not eat the eggs. Hopefully I can get some photos of these Eggs hatching as well as some photos of Spotted Salamanders on Dry land.

Not many Law firms handle Legal Malpractice dealing with Criminal defense and I have found 2 Law firms that do but they said they were not able to represent me because they had a relationship with my former Attorneys Law firm. I feel I have a good case and have been told after posting my situation that if I have proof that if My former Attorney had acted without negligence the result of my sentencing would have proved different. And I do because my 2nd sentence was reversed by the Court of Special Appeals. Please read my other questions for a detailed account of my case.
I am not licensed in MD, but in almost all States you can have your attorney associate with local counsel and get admitted on a case by case basis on a pro hac vice motion. Every State is different, and in some, the trial court judge can grant, and in others, the State Supreme court has to rule on the motion.
Generally an attorney would have to file a Motion requesting permission of the Court. The attorney would have to certify that he or she is familiar with the civil procedure of the State that he or she wants to practice in as well as that he or she is familiar in the subject matter of the litigation.
I am sure it is different for each State, however; your best bet is to hire an attorney from the State where you want to file suit. I understand your situation - maybe you can have a co-counsel situation where 2 separate people jointly represent you. Good luck.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Sixteen-year-old Jenny learns the ways of the world in the coming-of-age drama "An Education," but there's a revelation in store for us, as well. We get the pleasure of meeting an exciting young actress who surely deserves to become a star.
Carey Mulligan is radiant as a suburban teenager in 1961 London who is curious and clever beyond her years but still rather innocent and impressionable. Although she's a diligent student and dutiful daughter on track to study at Oxford, she sits alone in her bedroom at night longing to be adult enough to live in Paris on her own, basking in the culture. Mulligan maintains a beautifully believable balance of these contrasting forces, even as Jenny gets drawn from the sedate and boring life she knows into a glamorous new one.
Her guide is David (Peter Sarsgaard doing a solid British accent), a thirtysomething man with whom she has a chance meeting one rainy day and experiences an immediate connection. He whisks her away in his flashy sports car to nights filled with concerts and late-night suppers and, eventually, weekend trips out of town. Even her protective parents (Alfred Molina and Cara Seymour), who are initially skeptical of David's intentions because he's twice her age, fall for his urbane charms. And we do, too, Sarsgaard is so smooth — even though we should know better.
David is funny and attentive, generous and sweet. He takes good care of her and seems genuinely interested in spending time with her, never pressuring her to have sex. And under his tutelage, Jenny positively thrives. She was pleasingly cute in her schoolgirl uniforms, but once she begins dressing fashionably, wearing her long hair in a twist and carrying herself with a more sophisticated air, it's easy to see the gorgeous woman she was always meant to become. (And the details in the production and costume design are all flawless.)
Danish director Lone Scherfig and writer Nick Hornby find just the right touch here with some tricky material, based on the memoir by Lynn Barber. (It's a rare example of Hornby, author of "High Fidelity" and "About a Boy," adapting someone else's work.) The challenge is: How to make David, and this ill-advised relationship, seem thrilling rather than creepy? Through Jenny's eyes, we get caught up in the excitement, too, but as bystanders we know it can't last — even before David's dark side starts to surface — and that's what gives "An Education" an inescapable tension.
Dominic Cooper and Rosamund Pike ideally round out David's clique as the wealthy, worldly Danny and his beautiful but vapid girlfriend, Helen. With the icy, blond looks of a Hitchcock femme fatale and a stylish wardrobe of gowns and furs, Helen may appear perfect but she's clueless when Jenny drops French phrases here and there in her speech, and their unlikely friendship provides "An Education" with some comic relief.
Olivia Williams and Emma Thompson also function as strong female role models in Jenny's life, co-starring as her English teacher and the school's headmistress, respectively. And Sally Hawkins, so lovely in "Happy-Go-Lucky," has one great scene in which she provides Jenny with a less pleasant sort of education.
You may think you know where the film is going, but its ecstasy and heartbreak will stick with you afterward nonetheless. It's one of the year's best.
"An Education," a Sony Pictures Classics release, is rated PG-13 for mature thematic material involving sexual content, and for smoking. Running time: 95 minutes. Four stars out of four.
Motion Picture Association of America rating definitions:
G — General audiences. All ages admitted.
PG — Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children.
PG-13 — Special parental guidance strongly suggested for children under 13. Some material may be inappropriate for young children.
R — Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
NC-17 — No one under 17 admitted.

Nemo Achida - Stoop Music
Artist: Nemo Achida
Producer: Northern Lights
Album: Nemotional
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 7 votes )
Ask any native west coaster what their favorite Stoop Music is and they'll look at you with a blank stare: "You mean what's my favorite Snoop music?" But those outside of Cali, like Nemo Achida, know exactly what music's needed for an afternoon posted on the stoop. His first feature since July's reader-approved John Stockton, Stoop Music (finally in high quality, CDQ form after leaking earlier this year) gets its sonic heart from Northern Lights, who puts together an appropriately organic and mellowed-out beat complete with soft strings and shaking percussion. From there it's up to Nemo to paint the scene as he takes listeners on a ride from the stoop to the whip to wherever you are: "This is that posted on the stoop music / imagining you and your brothers in the coupe music/ flying above the seven seas like you're used to it." Regardless of your proximity to the nearest stoop you'll want to keep an eye out for Nemo's upcoming, cleverly titled album Nemotional, dropping for free stream and direct download on November 15 via The DJBooth.
