Broader measure of NC jobless rate now down to 13.6%
The broadest measure of North Carolina's unemployment is down to 13.6 percent, a continual decline since peaking at 17.9 percent three years ago.
The measure, known as the U6 index, includes the under-employed and those who have given up looking for work. Because it captures a broader representation of the unemployed, some consider it the most complete snapshot of the state's job market.
The U6 is issued every quarter by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. It's usually about 75 percent higher than the conventional jobless measure, the U3 rate, which doesn't include the under-employed and discouraged job seekers. That measure, which is a running 12-month average, was 7.2 percent in the first quarter.
In terms of raw numbers, the U3 jobless rate shows 335,000 North Carolinians unemployed in the first quarter, whereas the U6 rate shows 644,200 unemployed in the state.
The state's monthly jobless rate, the commonly circulated jobless figure, was 6.3 percent in March.

Rodgers: Suarez on Bale's level
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers remains insistent striker Luis Suarez is not for sale, but admits if he were he would be worth a sum closer to the £100million being touted for Gareth Bale.
Real Madrid, who were expected to be the summer suitors for the Uruguay international, are chasing Tottenham midfielder Bale with a world-record bid.
Rodgers argues, with some justification, if Bale is worthy of a nine-figure sum then Suarez, whose 23 Premier League goals last season was two more than the Welshman, must be valued at far more than the £40,000,001 offered by Arsenal in their second bid.
Reports have suggested Suarez is considering handing in a transfer request and taking legal action in order to leave, but Rodgers remained steadfast in his stance.
"It is very, very simple: he is a top player and we don't want to sell him," said the Reds boss, who spoke with Suarez on Friday.
"We are trying to build something here so there is nothing new to report.
"Of all the speculation which has happened from the end of the season, and all the clubs he was supposed to be going to, we've had two bids from one club and that was nowhere near the valuation in the market for a top player.
"Until there is anything dramatic that changes he is still working, we have to get him up to speed for when he is fit.
"I was on the phone last night quite a bit with the owners and they know what we are trying to do: we are trying to build a group up and we are in no hurry to sell Luis or any other player.
"Of course, throughout the world every player will have a value but you only have to look at the market and £40million and £1....Gareth Bale they are talking about nine figures. Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez were arguably the two best players in the Premier League and you can't say Gareth Bale is valued at more than 100 per cent more than Luis Suarez.

"Every single player will be open to that (right bid), but it is not even something we are thinking about it. We are very strong in the belief in what we are doing and there will be no-one moving out of here."
Suarez was warmly welcomed by a sell-out crowd for captain Steven Gerrard's testimonial on his first appearance at Anfield since being banned for biting Branislav Ivanovic in April.
His second-half substitute appearance in the 2-0 victory over Olympiacos, settled by goals in either half by Joe Allen and Jordan Henderson, was far from his usual all-out action role, but he by no means looked like a player angling for a move.
"It is not quite the reception you guys (the media) thought," said Rodgers.
"It just shows you the class of the Liverpool supporters. There has been a lot of speculation about Luis and what sort of reception he would get, but they love their own and Luis is still very much part of the team.
"He can't start the season because he is suspended, but they have given him everything and, even when they may have had an excuse (not to), they backed him to the hilt and it was great for them to do that.
"He was probably humbled by it. There may have been some trepidation in terms of the reaction he would get, but people who have been at this club much longer than me and know the Liverpool way always respect their own.
"Luis is still very much a part of what we are doing and that was another message from them that they love him. We only want players who are totally 100 per cent committed to being here and I've spoken to Luis countless times over the summer.
"Speculation can be difficult for players. There are a lot of stories that have gone on around Luis but there is no change in him. He is working well and he got a great reception here today.
"The more he is around the group and the great support here - in addition to days like today - he will understand. If ever anyone wanted to know the status of Liverpool it was while we were on tour and days like today.
"It is a truly remarkable club and you don't want to leave one of the biggest clubs in the world in a hurry, and I think he knows that."

War of the apps heats up in China
Publication Date : 21-02-2014
Raising a hand to flag down a taxi by the streets could be passé in China, or at least in the eyes of the taxi booking app developers.
Two popular mobile apps, Kuaidi Dache and Didi Dache ("dache" means taking the taxi), make it possible for passengers to hail a cab without flailing an arm, but just tapping on their smart phones.
The war between the two apps, which are backed by Chinese Internet giants Alibaba Group and Tencent Holdings Ltd respectively, has gotten more intense this week.
On Monday, Didi Dache announced that it was going to revive its 10-yuan (US$3.91) rebate programme for users who book a cab and pay via Tencent's instant messaging app Wechat.
Every passenger is entitled to receive a subsidy of 10 yuan each trip, for up to three trips a day.
For taxi drivers in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Hangzhou, a reward of 10 yuan awaits for up to 10 bookings they successfully respond to through Didi Dache.
Cabbies in other cities will receive 5 yuan for the first five trips and 10 yuan for the next five trips.
To prevent users from cheating, Didi Dache said it would block passengers and drivers who reach mutual agreements to use the app only after the passengers get into the cabs, with the motive of earning the rebates.
Didi Dache reportedly poured in 1 billion yuan for this round of subsidy.
Kuaidi Dache was quick to follow up with an "always-one-yuan-more" reward.
Users who hail a cab through its app and pay via Alibaba's mobile payment service Alipay Wallet were promised that they would always enjoy one yuan more than users of its competitor.
It is not the first time these two apps are using these tactics to entice users.
In January, Didi Dache rolled out the 10-yuan rebate promotion, prompting Kuaidi Dache to offer the same rebate in response.
When Didi Dache reduced the 10-yuan incentive by half on Feb 10, Kuaidi Dache seized the chance to announce that it would retain the 10-yuan offer.
Now that Didi Dache has readjusted the rebate back to 10 yuan, Kuaidi Dache has decided to have the upper hand by pledging "always-one-yuan-more".
However, just a day after these announcements were made, Didi Dache upped the rebate once again. Passengers would now receive between 12 yuan and 20 yuan per trip.
Kuaidi Dache followed suit to offer a subsidy of at least 13 yuan per trip.
While Didi Dache offered 10,000 free trips a day to lucky passengers, Kuaidi Dache pledged 15,000 free trips a day.
It appeared that there was no end to this intense price war.
This "war" between the two apps is only one segment of the fierce rivalry between the two Internet companies, Tencent and Alibaba.
Tencent owns Wechat while Alibaba has developed a similar app known as "Laiwang".
Alibaba bought 18% stake of the popular Twitter-like service Sina Weibo last year, which is the contender of Tencent's Wechat.
Last week, Alibaba offered to purchase mobile mapping app AutoNavi. Tencent, meanwhile, already has a mapping service that boasts a similar function to Google's Street View.
This latest contest in the taxi-booking app was seen as a tactic to encourage smart phone users to adopt the habit of using mobile payments.
During the just-concluded Chinese New Year holiday, Wechat users went gaga over the electronic angpao.
They had to first link their bank accounts to Wechat before they could give or receive money among their circle of friends.
According to Beijing Times, from the eve until the eighth day of Chinese New Year, more than 40 million angpao were handed out in the activity participated by more than eight million people.
Even Alibaba's founder Jack Ma described the phenomenon as a "Pearl Harbour attack".
In a poll on finance.ifeng.com, 70.42% of some 5,600 respondents felt that the war of taxi booking apps between Tencent and Alibaba was not a vicious competition.
Almost half of them believed that what mattered most at the end of the day was the product experience.
They were of the opinion that the company with the better service would prevail, in contrast to only 23.38% of the respondents who predicted that the one with bigger financial capability would eventually be declared the winner.
With the two giants locking horns and trying to outdo each other, many believed that the consumers are the biggest beneficiaries.
The rebates did not have a reported deadline. Until the cash rewards are withdrawn, users can continue to enjoy the subsidies to save some pennies.

My second rushed work for S3 "Fairytales". It's snowwhite, obviously. I know, it's "super original" but it started as a speedpainting so it's not a studied work. Background sux because i worked almost without time but i like a lot the witch facial expression.
View the whole exhibition here: http://www.slashthree.com
Your art is very inspirational to all of us artists and at Shadowness we like to thank our amazing artists for all they do, to show our appreciation for you, your artwork has been featured in todays Daily Inspiration #395

Over at the Times, Florence Fabricant resolves a long-standing food-world mystery, that of the location of Noma co-founder Claus Meyer's Nordic Food Hall. René Redzepi's old kitchen buddy has a complex of retail establishments and restaurants, including a fine-dining option, planned for several thousand square feet of space in Grand Central Terminal. Questions loom: Is this the "master-leased artisanal food market" planned for the area that we've been hearing about? Will the MTA and Metro-North Railroad green-light the project at the full board meeting next Wednesday? While we wait on answers, let's take a look at it.
The more casual food hall would occupy 16,000 square feet in the 48-foot-high, Beaux Arts–style Vanderbilt Hall, include the balcony space, and cover "all price points from a cup of coffee to fine dining," the paper says. The 100-seat brasserie would be adjacent to the hall, and plans all depict a grab-and-go area that's currently home to Hot & Crusty. Because of Grand Central's landmark status, all food-hall fixtures would be free-standing. Meyer tells the Times the project is a "Nordic concept," but teases that the cuisine "is very much about capturing the local flavor" and he will not rely too heavily on imported ingredients. Meyer and his partners will pay a reported $1.8 million a year; the amount will increase annually for the ten-year term.
So even if all goes well, it's going to take some time to get all this new Nordicness off the ground. Assuming officials give the ambitious project the green light next week, the Times reports the entirety of Meyer's project is "expected to be in operation in two years."

Miriam Axel-Lute looks at three examples of suffering commercial centers that are attempting to use a community land trust model (which has been primarily used for preserving residential districts). Examples include San Francisco's Japantown, Albuquerque's Sawmill and downtown New Orleans' business district. But implementing a CLT in a commercial environment is raising some difficult questions, says Axel-Lute:
"What would be the legal stake the CLT would have in the property, given the complicated existing ownership-deed restriction? air rights lease similar to residential CLTs' ground leases? What entity would have sufficient equity to take on the development?"
"Perhaps the widest open question for CLTs who want to forge a shared-equity economic development strategy is what 'stewardship' will mean for commercial properties."

CERCIE stands for Commitment, Excellence, Respect, Compassion, Integrity and Enthusiasm. We ask employees to submit CERCIE certificates to recognize their peers on a quarterly basis.
Employees Exemplify Company Values
Debbie Lacey
CERCIE is the award we've created as a company to recognize our employees who exemplify RehabVisions' company values. It is an acronym that stands for Commitment, Excellence, Respect, Compassion, Integrity and Enthusiasm. We ask employees to submit CERCIE certificates to recognize their peers on a quarterly basis.
Katie S., a PT in North Dakota is one of our CERCIE recipients for Quarter 1, 2014.
Five Things Your Rehab Department Should Be Doing
Todd Lohr
Is your rehab department maximizing its potential? This post is the first in a series. It's based on some items RehabVisions focuses on when we manage therapy departments, but it's also a conversation starter about some things you could be doing differently.
Whether your department is in a hospital, skilled nursing facility or is an outpatient clinic, we're betting you can take something away from this series. Enjoy!
PT Aids in Miracle Recovery
Bill Mannewitz, PT
As physical, occupational and speech therapists we see life-changing events almost daily. Dedicated patients push past their perceived limitations under our individualized care. Occasionally, we are blessed to participate in miraculous events. Kilah Dunn, PT had such an experience. Patient Anthony Crump has agreed to let us share a small portion of his story.
Ol' Switcheroo Works Out for Two Employees
Tracy Milius, OT
One of the many benefits of working for RehabVisions is the ability to transfer to other RehabVisions' contracted locations to better meet your career goals or family needs. I personally experienced this opportunity early in my career when I moved from the SNF setting in the greater Omaha area to a hospital setting in Harlan, Iowa. Then later I relocated back to Omaha to pursue a management opportunity at the Home Office. The ability to change my clinical setting and geography at that point in my career is one of the dominant factors in why I have remained with this company for over two decades.
RV Welcomes Compliance Manager
Stacy Ashley Murphy
RehabVisions added a new position to our Operations Department recently to to stay on top of regulatory points and provide expertise to our hospital clients.
Brenda Kemling, PT started in her role as Hospital Compliance Manager in June. So far, she has been training RehabVisions' hospital staff on Functional Limitation Reporting (G-codes with severity modifiers), completing chart audits, and assisting in the establishment of electronic medical records in all of our facilities.
Happy Anniversary, RehabVisions
Stacy Ashley Murphy
May marks the 30th year that RehabVisions has been in business. To commemorate this important event, we put together this video about how we started, where we've been, and what the future holds for us as a company. Enjoy!
Customer Values RV's Integrity
Stacy Ashley Murphy
When Bethany Lutheran Home CEO Mike Van Sickle went looking for a new therapy provider, integrity was number one on his list.
Bethany Lutheran had been caught up in a costly, multi-year Corporate Integrity Agreement from the Office of the Inspector General relating to their previous therapy provider. They were investigated for their billing practices. "We didn't have the sophistication or the experience to know it was happening," Mike said.
The Election Is Over. What's Next For Therapy?
Darrell Metcalf
With the election past us, budgets being completed and the impending "fresh start" of a new year, it seems like a good time to take stock and figure out "where we are." With all the rhetoric about Obamacare, fiscal cliffs and the drum beat of impending doom, amazingly enough, people are still getting sick and injured and requiring healthcare services.
The Power of Perception
Deb Kirchhoff, SLP
Check out this article about patient experience from Hospital Impact. It speaks to how very important perception is within our jobs in healthcare.
Nancy Groff Named Home Health Therapist of the Year
Home Care and Hospice Association of Washington voted Nancy Groff, PT the Therapist of the Year this past April. Nancy, a 23-year RehabVisions' employee, works in Prosser, Washington.
In her acceptance speech, Nancy said that the award was "probably the highlight of my 47-year career" and thanked RehabVisions for "the support, freedom and confidence in the past 23 years to be the best I can be."
Toot Your Own Horn. It's Good For Business.
Jean Herauf, SLP
Top-of-mind awareness is a vital marketing term. Its definition is obvious – when people think about therapy, we want them to think about our rehab departments and staff. This happens when people see and hear your name again and again. Jean Herauf, SLP, an area manager for RehabVisions in North Dakota, is especially good at keeping her clinic name and therapists in the news and in front of important referral sources.
Assisted Living Therapy is a Win-Win
Jennifer Caskey, PT
Are Assisted Living Residents getting the therapy they should? Some fall through the cracks because they don't qualify for home health services and others may not have transportation. Our therapists in Des Moines travel into these assisted living communities to reach patients who do not have easy access to PT, OT and ST services.
What Is The AlterG?
Steve Finn, PT, DPT, OCS
The AlterG is a revolutionary Anti-Gravity Treadmill. The concept of unweighing to facilitate a faster, more effective, recovery of rehab patients has been around for many years. Many of us have been fortunate enough to work in facilities that offer aquatic rehab or advanced harness unweighing capabilities.
A Patient's Poem
Customer Service Is Always Key… Even In Therapy
Rick Larmore
Too often in healthcare, we tend to forget that our patients (customers) have choices in where they can receive their care. This may seem obvious in metropolitan areas but frankly, it's also true in rural America even where local competition doesn't seem to exist. After all, it may only be a 20 to 40-minute drive to the next nearest community with a rehab clinic. As professionals within the rehab profession, I think we all need to remember that many times in a patient's mind, not much separates one rehab clinic from the next. Oh sure, we can fall back on the mantra that if the referring physician tells a patient to go for treatment, that's where the patient will likely go. But what about those instances when the decision is left up to the patient and that patient has to choose between two, three or even four options? How do we stand out above the rest? Well, why leave it to chance?
CEU Opportunities Available and Important
Bill Mannewitz, PT
Continuing education plays a crucial part in our ability to treat patients under the expectations of best and evidence-based practice. I'm excited that RehabVisions, as a company, is committed to providing opportunities for Continuing Education and to tapping into the expertise of our own therapy family.

Don't Adjust Too Often
Citing research done by author Jim Collins for his book "Good To Great," Harnish said many companies are constantly changing their compensation plans as they try to grow. That can cause confusion and even resentment among employees, hurting productivity along the way. That's not to say an executive shouldn't ever tweak a company's compensation strategy. But Collins found that great companies tend to establish a compensation system and then leave it alone.

Is this a list for the 5 scrubbiest Titan players?
He should be gone after this season. That was pathetic. With a competent coaching staff, a few OLine men, and a safety - this team will do SERIOUS...
The players played their hearts out...minus Chris Johnson's effort on that Harper tackle...but what was Palmer thinking running? killed the clock....
The future is very bright for this team. VERY VERY bright, and honestly its clear Locker is ready. It's time to hand over the keys.

Study guides for nclex and critical thinking skills?
0 Hi allnurses.com so my professor recommended to practice nclex questions. For those who have taken the nclex or are studying for the nclex, what books have you found helpful. I have read a few post about using the Kaplan book, but which Kaplan book? I am not taking the nclex anytime soon but I would like to start practicing for it and building my critical thinking skills.Last edit by sirI on Feb 1, '13 : Reason: relocated thread0Jan 31, '13 by Stcroix, PhD, RNBoth the Saunders (for content) and Kaplan's review for the NCLEX RN are good. These were my primary sources for the NCLEX. Also, when you actually start studying for the NCLEX use online test banks such as the NCLEX 4000 or Kaplan's Qbank. To get additional information, take a look at the NCLEX support area on Allnurses. You will get lots of folk's opinions0Jan 31, '13 by VintageTxFlare, RNSaunders Review has a CD that has thousands of questions. You can also do Kaplan QBank.0Feb 1, '13 by Stcroix, PhD, RNI did not purchase it, I simply used the review book. For questions I used the Saunders CD, Kaplan CD (practice test), an ATI 3 day review (with review book) and the online NCLEX 4000. I passed in 75 questions. Frankly, with one month of hard studying I felt I was well prepared. When I got done with the exam, I wondered what all that studying I did for me. By that I mean very little of what I studied really related to the test. The test was more a test of thinking based upon an overall understanding of nursing and an overall knowledge. I guess the studying gets your brain into a thinking mode, but the specific information doesn't really come into play. That's how I saw it anyway. I know people who loved the Qbank and swear by it, but I would have felt overwhelmed if I had any more source material. Too many resources can do that.
Good luck0Feb 1, '13 by Stcroix, PhD, RNOh, yeah I forgot. You MUST have Lacharity's Prioritization, delegation and assignment book. It drills you into thinking about these issues as the NCLEX tests. Very good resource, and an easy read.0Feb 4, '13 by nursetobe15Thanks everyone for the posts. Howvever I am confused about the Kaplan. Is it the Kaplan online that you sign up and pay for or is it an actually book. I've seen a Kaplan book but it was more about strategy then questions.0Feb 4, '13 by kemifairQuote from nursetobe15You can pay for qbank with questions or pay for a online class.Thanks everyone for the posts. Howvever I am confused about the Kaplan. Is it the Kaplan online that you sign up and pay for or is it an actually book.

White non skid
Hey guy's, Have searched around and really haven't found what I need.
A model in the shop needs to have some non skid put on her decks. Is there anything available out there? |
Cool! . I'll update you to show when she's done. Thanks a bunch.
Visit a garden store and buy some landscape fabric. spray the white gel coat (light coat) on the deck and place the cut pieces of fabric on top of gel coat. Once gel coat is close to hardening, "peel" off the landscape fabric leaving a rough surface.
You can also so similar with gel coating, add salt or sugar. When cured simply "melt" the salt or sugar crystals away by soaking/dissolving in water. |

I wouldn't use salt is using a polyester gel. It absorbs water and water does not mix well with uncured polyester resins. I have built a lot of windsurfer boards and used sugar with great results. Brush on a coat of resin, then stand back and toss sugar up and onto the surface. The further you toss it, the more even the finish will be. You will get sugar all over the place, BTW.
If you want a pattern, I have also used fiberglass cloth, and like a post above, peeled it off once the resin has partially cured. It leaves a nice cloth weave pattern. I don't know how these would work with paint, I have used them only with resins. Always try it on a scrap beforehand. |
I ended up using Badger airbrush grit that I had been given, mixed with paint.
I thing it looks pretty good with just a touch of traction in it. Thanks all for opening my eyes. |

Seahawks Fans Watching Super Bowl Is Pure Agony [VIDEO]
As dirty as you may feel watching Bill Belichick's reaction to winning the Super Bowl, you'll feel that awful watching Seahawks fans react to losing it.
As dirty as you may feel watching Bill Belichick's reaction to winning the Super Bowl, you'll feel that awful watching Seahawks fans react to losing it.
Warren Sapp, former defensive lineman for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was arrested Monday morning in Phoenix for allegedly soliciting a prostitute, according to TMZ.
Sapp was in Phoenix covering the Super Bowl for the NFL Network.
Novak Djokovic may have topped Andy Murray to claim his fifth Australian Open title over the weekend, but it's who he beat along the way that will really open your eyes.
Cleveland Browns quarterback and Tyler native Johnny Manziel has entered a treatment facility, according to multiple media reports.
If you say you knew who Malcolm Butler was before Super Bowl 49 kicked off, most people will call you a liar.
The Super Bowl, that great, unofficial American holiday, is history. So, what sporting event are you clamoring for next?
Malcolm Butler made a game-saving interception of a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line, and the New England Patriots held on to beat the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24, in Super Bowl XLIX in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday.
Sure, you know the Seahawks and Patriots will square off in the Super Bowl, but there's plenty more of knowledge to be had when it comes to the big game.
Despite what you may have heard, Marshawn Lynch has no problem with providing good quotes to interviewers -- it just has to be the right subject matter.
Wow, this Deflategate scandal continues to get bigger and bigger.
We already knew Aaron Rodgers was a good guy. This just further proved it.
It's hard to believe that the biggest story before the Super Bowl is about the amount of air in some footballs, but Deflategate continues to be the scandal that won't go away. With that in mind, the New York Times decided to do some investigative reporting to show fans just what goes on in a Wilson football factory.

The known Euler-Lagrange equation for (intrinsic) biharmonic maps is unsuitable for the study of some of the critical points of the corresponding functional, as it requires too much regularity. We derive and discuss a variant of the equation that does not have this shortcoming.

Tanjung Leman Recce Bike Trip 18 & 19 Sept 2004
i saw this place 3 weeks ago when we passed by it while on our way to recce Pulau Tinggi.
i wanted to cycle here to check it out, so i managed to con some cycling friends to come along.
Tanjung Leman is about 113km from Johor Bahru. the last 28km is the most arduous - with BIG hill climbs and fierce headwinds. we were lucky - we got those plus heavy rain for the first 10km and hot sun till we reached the beach.
the way home was the most eventful and memorable.
Tanjung Leman Beach
lunch was cheap & good
a little bit of stretching to loosen up tired muscles
after being pounded by heavy rain...
and 28km of this in the hot sun....
Tunjuk Laut Beach Resort Reception

Edmund in dreamland...Zzz..zz..
morning walk around the beach

getting ready to leave
the people who got conned to come along. luckily the place is pleasant or else i would have been lynched.
nice ride out....
until we hit the hills...
big hills for everyone!
first rest-stop
susan proposes that we detour someplace else to avoid the rest of the hills
we travelled 16km in 10 minutes towards the other direction
...that was pretty fast...
that was fun...
the only way is down towards the coast.
Sedili Besar -- a ferry is the only way to get to the other side - Sedili Kecil.
but first things first..... dessert stall
we occupied most of the ferry
getting off - Tanjung Sedili Besar
Tanjung Sedili jetty
lunch at a quaint coffee shop
while the rest had seafood lunch at Hup Chong
roadside fruitstall
a much needed break - just after Mawai baru
we stopped at Ulu Tiram
dinner before we set off for Johore Bahru

Campaign themes
Tuschy's website highlights the following campaign themes:[1]
- Excerpt:"The best solution for job creation comes from the private sector and free markets. Lower taxes, fewer regulations, less costly permits and licensing are all ways to stimulate the economy and job growth."
Taxes and Spending
- Excerpt:"Lowering taxes will leave you more money to take care of yourself and your family, and it will allow businesses greater opportunities to hire new workers, increase current salaries, and expand their companies."
Corporate Income Tax
- Excerpt:"Minnesota's corporate income tax rate (9.8 percent) is fourth highest in the nation and reducing or repealing the corporate income tax would greatly improve Minnesota's position to attract new businesses as well as our ability to keep and even expand our existing businesses."
Free Market Economics
- Excerpt:"Government should not be in the business of handing out money or supporting one line of business over another. "
Personal Liberty
- Excerpt:"My support of an individual's right to make choices in life does not mean that I necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices. The lives and actions of people are their own responsibility, not the government's."
Tuschy ran in the 2012 election for Minnesota House of Representatives District 52B. He ran unopposed in the Republican primary on August 14 and was defeated by incumbent Joe Atkins (D) in the general election on November 6, 2012.[2][3]

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN Georgetown Hotel & Suites Washington DC
Large rooms, responsive staff
I stayed here at the end of January 2005. It is within a 10-minute walk of the George Washington University metro stop, and I felt safe walking at night in this neighborhood. It takes about 45 minutes from hotel to Capitol Hill buildings, with a change of metro lines en route. I appreciated that breakfast was included (with a microwave the possibilities were greater than the usual continental breakfast) and that there was an attendant to replenish items. There is also a shop on the first floor where one can purchase sundries and snacks, although there were apples and bananas at the guest check-in desk. The first room I was given had an unpleasant odor of stuffiness (perhaps someone had smoked in a non-smoking room) and the heat did not seem to be functioning properly. The front desk responded immediately to my request to be moved to another room. About half an hour later a staff person called to inquire whether everything was satisfactory. The rooms are LARGE, with in-room refrigerator, and the sleeping area separated from the living area by a room divider with a TV that could be swiveled to watch in either area. When I arrived home and tried to make a reservation for a stay about 4 weeks later, I realized that this hotel is deservedly popular as it was fully booked! For my subsequent trip I stayed at the Holiday Inn Central, which was fine, but this Best Western room was larger and less expensive. If you are a member of their Gold Crown frequent stay program, be sure to include this in your reservation or at least upon arrival. I would stay here again.
Are we talking about the same hotel?
I read the previous reviews before I stayed at the BW New Hampshire Suites but it much worse! For the price ($89, booked directly with hotel) I didn't expect a 4-star place, but the conditions were dreary and old. Workers were there every day (I stayed 4 nights), so improvements are being made, but they left behind trails of mud and plaster dust that were never cleaned up and increased each day. Dirty linen, a vacuum and unemptied wastebaskets sat piled in the hall for 2 days.
My room had new bathroom fixtures (nice quality and installed well), but the new wallpaper was hung badly, with wrinkles and sagging. The couch was so old (stained, worn, and lumpy cushions) that I laid out my coat if I sat down on it. Water pressure was poor and hot water was unreliable (made the 6 am shower a real waker-upper!). Dresser and nightstand were flimsy and an empty potato chip bag was in the top drawer.
Common areas ranged from dirty (elevator mirrors and doors were smeared, hallways had gouges and smudges on the walls) to difficult (three steps up from driveway to doorway, three more steps up to reservation desk, no ramp for rolling bags).
Good news - continental breakfast was well-stocked and fresh, with good variety. Employees were pretty helpful, but housekeeping standards were dreadful. I kept washing my hands, trying to get the feeling of "creeping crud" off of me. I'll pass on this hotel for any future visits to DC.
Really good !
Great value for money..........very clean & big room, good breakfast, good location (safe,near to shops, etc). Highly recommend for a stay in a great city.
Great Place
We stayed at this hotel during a sight seeing trip to DC. The staff was friendly and helpful and the hotel was conveniently located to the Metro. The rooms were clean and everything was in good working order. I would recommend this hotel.
Clean, Convenient and Friendly
This was one of the best Bestwesterns we've ever stayed.
It was one of the cleanest hotels.
We were treated like family. The Associates were not only helpful but respectful and very friendly.
The breakfast was great but the associate, running it, needed a helper. When I told the front desk they seem to listen and responded as if someone would hear about my suggestion.
We are already planning a return trip and are looking forward to the blessing of such service.
Enjoyable stay
Stayed here on the views of others on this site. Very happy with the recommendation staff very helpful and pleasant We thought the rooms were clean but a little dark. Free breakfast good & staff would provide all that was needed.
Not Bad
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend for the dedication of the World War 2 Memorial. The front desk staff was very friendly. The room was very nice. Housekeeping was terrible. When asking for directions or recommendations for sites and restaurants the front desk was terrible. Would not stay there again.
Okay for a night
It's okay for one night, but wouldn't want to stay longer. Our room wasn't really a suite, just a large room with a TV cabinet to divide it from the pull-out couch. Clean, nice bathroom, pleasant staff. But it would get old pretty fast for more than two people. Easy walk to Dupont Circle with lots of good restaurants nearby. Shop for specials, they're usually available. Reasonable (outside) parking across the street.
Good Buy
After much searching we found a wonderful value at this Hotel. Spacious, clean, friendly staff, very adequate breakfast, 2 blks to the Metro and a great Asian restaurant down the block. We would definately chose this location again.
Go for it!
We were tipped out of our pre-reserved DC hotel, which had overbooked, into the New Hampshire Suites - and were very happy to be there, especially as we saved some money. The management was welcoming, as was the staff. The room was huge and very comfortable (#200) and the complimentary breakfast excellent. The linen was changed daily without question and we felt totally at home there and would have no hesitation about returning on our next visit to DC.

The talks were much like what I've seen on TED.com. The biggest difference is that the videos include very little of the talking between speakers. It turns out, there was quite a bit of that.
When the talks were over I headed back to my hotel.

Viktor was born in the spring of '44
And never saw his father anymore
A child of sacrifice, a child of war
Another son who never had a father after Leningrad
Went off to school and learned to serve the state
Followed the rules and drank his vodka straight
The only way to live was drown the hate
A Russian life was very sad and such was life in Leningrad
I was born in '49
A cold war kid in McCarthy time
Stop 'em at the 38th Parallel
Blast those yellow reds to hell
And cold war kids were hard to kill
Under their desk in an air raid drill
Haven't they heard we won the war
What do they keep on fighting for?
Viktor was sent to some Red Army town
Served out his time, became a circus clown
The greatest happiness he'd ever found
Was making Russian children glad and children lived in Leningrad
But children lived in Levittown
And hid in the shelters underground
Until the Soviets turned their ships around
Tore the Cuban missiles down
And in that bright October sun
We knew our childhood days were done
And I watched my friends go off to war
What do they keep on fighting for?
So my child and I came to this place
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
He made my daughter laugh, then we embraced
We never knew what friends we had until we came to Leningrad
