Tolerance for Failure and Corporate Innovation
2014, Review of Financial Studies
Xuan Tian, Tracy Wang
We examine whether tolerance for failure spurs corporate innovation based on a sample of venture capital (VC) backed IPO firms. We develop a novel measure of VC investors' failure tolerance by examining their willingness to continue investing in underperforming ventures. We find that IPO firms backed by more failure-tolerant VC investors are significantly more innovative, and VC failure tolerance is particularly important for ventures subject to high failure risk. We show that these results are not driven by endogenous matching between failure-tolerant VCs and startups with high ex-ante innovation potentials. We also examine the determinants of the cross-sectional heterogeneity in VC failure tolerance. We find that both capital constraints and career concerns can negatively distort VC failure tolerance. Less experienced VCs are more exposed to these distortions, making them less failure tolerant than more established VCs.

Prior to his election to the United States Senate, Reid served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1983 to 1987.[1]
Based on analysis of multiple outside rankings, Reid is an average Democratic member of Congress, meaning he will vote with the Democratic Party on the majority of bills.
Reid was born in Searchlight, Nevada. Reid attended Southern Utah University and graduated from Utah State University. He then went to George Washington University Law School earning a J.D. while working for the United States Capitol Police.[1]
Below is an abbreviated outline of Reid's academic, professional and political career:[1]
- 1969-1970: Nevada State Assembly
- 1977-1981: Chairman, Nevada Gaming Commission
- 1983-1987: U.S. House of Representatives
- 1987-present: U.S. Senate
Committee assignments
U.S. Senate
Reid served on the following committee:
- Select Committee on Intelligence (Ex officio)
Key votes
113th Congress
The second session of the 113th Congress enacted into law 224 out of the 3215 introduced bills (7 percent). Comparatively, the 112th Congress had 4.2 percent of introduced bills enacted into law in the second session.[2] The Senate confirmed 13,949 out of 18,323 executive nominations received (76.1 percent). For more information pertaining to Reid's voting record in the 113th Congress, please see the below sections.[3]
National security
American intervention in Syria
- See also: United States involvement in Syria
Reid spoke to the Senate in support of military intervention in Syria. He said, "If we allow Assad's use of chemical weapons to go unchecked and unanswered, hostile forces around the world will also assume these terrible attacks of demons like Assad are permissible, they're OK. Americans cannot allow that. My mind returns to that turning point in the world history when the United States of America faced down an evil regime that murdered millions of innocent citizens. Millions and millions of civilians and prisoners of war were murdered by gas in Nazi death camps." Reid added, "Some prefer isolation. That's the easy thing to do. But sitting on the sideline isn't what made the United States of America the greatest nation in the world in years past. Sitting on the sidelines won't make us a better nation tomorrow."[4]
Reid on Syria
John Brennan CIA nomination
Reid voted for the confirmation of John Brennan as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. The nomination was confirmed by the Senate on March 7, 2013, with a vote of 63 - 34. Most Democrats supported the nomination, while Republicans were somewhat divided with roughly one-third supporting the nomination.[5]
Government shutdown
- See also: United States budget debate, 2013
On September 26, 2013, in regards to the government shutdown, Reid said that there would be no concessions from the Senate on Obamacare to avoid a government shutdown.[6]
Reid and other Democratic leaders said that they would only accept a clean continuing resolution. He refused to say whether he would accept a one-week continuing resolution from House members, which could be a last-minute safety valve if the two chambers cannot agree on a longer solution.[6]
"I'm not going to speculate on what they are going to do. We have all made it very clear: We'll have a clean CR," Reid said. "Right now, they do not know what they are going to do. They're throwing all this mud to see what sticks on the wall."[6]
During the shutdown in October 2013, the Senate rejected, down party lines, every House-originated bill that stripped the budget of funding for the Affordable Care Act. A deal was reached late on October 16, 2013, just hours before the debt ceiling deadline. The bill to reopen the government, H.R. 2775, lifted the $16.7 trillion debt limit and funded the government through January 15, 2014. Federal employees also received retroactive pay for the shutdown period. The only concession made by Senate Democrats was to require income verification for Obamacare subsidies.[7] The final vote on H.R. 2775 was 81-18, with all 18 votes against the bill from Republican members. Reid voted with the Democratic Party for the bill.[8]
No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013
Reid voted for H.R.325 -- No Budget, No Pay Act of 2013. The bill passed the Senate on January 31, 2013, with a vote of 64 - 34. The purpose of the bill was to temporarily suspend the debt ceiling and withhold the pay of members of Congress until a budget could be passed. The vote largely followed party lines with Democrats overwhelmingly supporting it and many Republicans in opposition to the bill.[9]
- See also: Healthcare.gov website rollout
Reid said that he was not worried about the Healthcare.gov difficulties impacting Democrats negatively in the 2014 election cycle. He said, "I think it's going to be good for them. By that time, there will be a lot of people on it that have already signed up. It'll be fine." He added, "We have 21 Democratic senators that are up, and … we're watching two or three of them closely, but to take over the majority they'd need six seats. I'm not cocky, but I am comfortable where we are. I think we're in pretty good shape." He also defended President Barack Obama's claim people could keep their insurance plans. He said, "Remember what the president said: 'If you like your insurance, you can keep it.' There is nobody in America that has the same insurance that … they had when he said this. We've had three different years. The policies are only for one year." He added, "I still go back and say what I said earlier. What he said was true. If you want to keep the insurance you have you can keep it. The problem is … we did not put the bill into effect that way. There's a lot of administrative things that kicked in, and there have been three changes in anyone's policy since then. It's not the same policy."[10]
Mexico-U.S. border
Reid voted against Senate Amendment 1197 -- Requires the Completion of the Fence Along the United States-Mexico Border. The amendment was rejected by the Senate on June 18, 2013, with a vote of 39 - 54. The purpose of the amendment was to require the completion of 350 miles of fence described in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 before registered provisional immigrant status may be granted. It would also require 700 miles of fence be completed before the status of registered provisional immigrants may be changed to permanent resident status. The vote followed party lines.[11]

Violence Against Women (2013)
Reid voted for S.47 -- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. The bill was passed by the Senate on February 12, 2013, with a vote of 78 - 22. The purpose of the bill was to combat violence against women, from domestic violence to international trafficking in persons. All 22 dissenting votes were cast by Republicans.[12]

IRS targeting
On May 10, 2013, news broke that various branches of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) had specifically targeted conservative groups' applications for tax-exempt status. This began during the tea party surge in 2010. The agency was separating tax-exempt applications by searching for political terms such as "tea party" and "patriot." In June 2011, an IRS official was briefed on these transgressions and asked that this practice end. The flagging continued, however, when the criteria was changed in January 2012 to look out for groups educating on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.[15]
The targeting included allegations that tea party groups were forced to provide information not asked of other tax exempt groups. Examples of this included requests for donor information, Facebook posts, resumes and political intentions of group officials and connections to other groups.[16][17]
On May 16, IRS Commissioner Steven Miller announced his resignation. He still testified at the hearings the next day.[18]
As a result of this scandal, Republicans and many Democratic members of Congress, including Reid, publicly called for a deeper investigation into these matters. The House Ways and Means Committee held a hearing on May 17 during which it was disclosed that the Obama administration was made aware of the targeting on June 4, 2012.[19]
On May 20, Senators Max Baucus and Orrin Hatch sent a written inquiry regarding the process for how the agency reviewed applications for tax exempt status. The letter also requested any correspondence between White House officials and the IRS mentioning 501(c) organizations.[20]
During the May 22 House committee hearing on the issue, Lois Lerner, head of the IRS tax-exempt organizations office, declined to answer questions citing her Fifth Amendment right.[21] The next day, May 23, Lerner was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation after Senators John McCain and Carl Levin called on IRS officials to place her on suspension.[22] Lerner retired on September 23, 2013.[23]
A Washington Post investigation in February 2012 revealed that 33 members of Congress helped direct more than $300 million in earmarks to public projects in close proximity to commercial and residential real estate owned by the lawmakers or their family members.[24] According to the report, Reid secured $21.5 million to build a bridge over the Colorado River, linking the gambling resort town of Laughlin, Nev., with Bullhead City, Ariz. Reid owns 160 acres of undeveloped land in Bullhead City.[25]
Criticism of Ted Cruz
Reid had harsh words for Republican Senator Ted Cruz in October 2013. He said he hoped that Cruz runs in 2016 for President because it would bring down the GOP. Reid explained, "If I didn't care so much about our country, I would hope he would get the Republican nomination for president, because that would mean the end of the Republican Party. With Ted Cruz, I am sure this will help him raise more money." He added he was not worried another shutdown would happen because of how badly the most recent shutdown damaged the Republicans poll numbers. However, Reid lashed out at moderate Republicans that voted with the tea party Republicans--"My disappointment in all of this is not the 80 or 90 people who live in some other political world that I don't understand. But my disappointment is the so-called moderates who went along with this vote after vote after vote. Einstein said this, pure definition of insanity is somebody who does something over and over and over again and expects a different result. So that was my No. 1 concern, that these so-called moderate Republicans went along with this crazy stuff." He also commented on an incident with Senator Tom Coburn. At a New York Young Republican Club meeting in October 2013, Coburn was discussing camaraderie in the U.S. Senate. He specifically mentioned a good relationship with Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), but when it came to Sen. Harry Reid, Coburn's sentiments were not so positive. According to attendees, Coburn referred to Reid as an "absolute a--hole."[26] Reid said that he didn't believe Coburn meant what he said and they had worked out their issues.[27]
"Nuclear option"
On November 21, 2013, Reid invoked the "nuclear option," cutting the 60-vote threshold required for executive branch nominees to reach the floor for confirmation votes to a simple majority vote. The rule change came after Senate Republicans blocked three D.C. Circuit Court judges from confirmation.[28] Tensions in the chamber have become increasingly hostile, and the decision to invoke the "nuclear option" is expected to make problems worse. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stated, "Some of us have been around here long enough to know that the shoe is sometimes on the other foot." He continued, "You may regret this a lot sooner than you think."[29]
The "nuclear option" was not popular with John McCain either. Prior to giving a speech on the floor criticizing the change, McCain told Reid, "I'm going to kick the crap out of you." Expecting the criticism, Reid replied, "John, I would expect nothing less."[30]
The rule change passed by a vote of 52-48, with three Democrats voting against the change.[28]
Opinion of Rand Paul
Reid has apparently grown fond of Rand Paul despite ideological differences. In December 2013, he said, "I met in the last few days with Rand Paul, spent a lot of time with him, and I have grown to really like him. He's — even though he has some set political views, he wants to get things done here. And I find that throughout the Republicans. I think they want to get things done. And I hope that's true."[31]
Floor time in 2013
According to analysis of CSPAN video by the Los Angeles Times, Reid spent 30 hours speaking on the floor in 2013. He was beat by Jeff Sessions, who held the floor for 33 hours.[32]
On November 2, 2010, Reid won re-election to the United States Senate. He defeated Sharron Angle (R), None of the Above, Scott Ashjian (Tea Party), Timothy Fasano (Independent American) and independent candidates Michael L. Haines, Jesse Holland, Jeffery C. Reeves and Wil Stand.[33]

About Kill The Noise
About Kill The Noise
No band worth its salt has ever asked fans to Kill the Noise. But plenty of music lovers have embraced a musical act by such a name, and the more noise he makes the louder they get.
Kill the Noise, of course, is the stage name of Jake Stanczak, an electronic music producer from upstate New York. Known for his baseball caps, sweat-soaked t-shirts and skull stickers, Stanczak plays night after night to standing-room only nightclubs, sold-out festivals and venues around the world. And what's so special about his shows? For starters, there's a series of 20-foot neon screens, plenty of turntables and bass-heavy sets that always get the crowd rocking. What else do you really need to know?
The thing about Kill The Noise that's even more impressive is the reach he's had and the popularity that's exploded over the last several years. After all, it was a bounce back and forth between 2006-2011 when Stanczak was also performing under the name Ewun. But when he made the switch to Kill the Noise, he dropped his debut EP in 2010 and has produced four more since. He also produced and was featured on "Narcissistic Cannibal" and "Fuels The Comedy," from Korn's tenth studio album in 2011. And last but not least, he stole the spotlight when he took the stage with the band to perform on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" on February 3, 2012.
Kill the Noise took a tour of Japan in 2013, and also visited France, Germany, Sweden, the Nethlerlands and Italy on the trek. The final date on the calendar was at Brancaleone in Rome on October 26, 2013.
Stancazak eventually kicked off 2014 on the radio show DVDASA on January 15, 2014. That's when his collaboration with Skrillex, Fatman Scoop and Michael Angelakos, "Recess," entered the UK Singles chart. It provide to be the perfect kickoff to a busy year for Kill the Noise, who is currently rolling through a crazy touring schedule of dates booked across the US through the end of November. He is also putting the finishing touches on a new album, and recently told the LA Music Blog, "A lot of work is going on behind the scenes to make the whole package something special."

I would like to know if I can have a sunglass frame made to fit my suncloud lenses. the old frame was shattered but the lenses are okay.
I have bought a pair of Bucci rose sunglasses and these are close to the sunclouds.

My old pair of Docini's broke and I would love to find a repair place. I recently spent $200.00 for a pair on ebay. As far as I know ebay is the only place to find original Suncloud, but you will pay big time for perfect ones.
Costa Del Mar sunglasses would be my second choice in glasses but they are only a faint second.

Is this real?
The logo looks the same, is it really and truly them? The website seems current...
When did this happen?! It seems I run this search at least once a month, how could I miss this?
There isn't a list of retailers, but several sites do come up with a Google search. Looks like they are running around $50. (a pleasant surprise!)
I've sent a request to customer service asking for a list of authorized retailers. I don't want to end up with an imposter.
It looks like they are all polycarbonate. I'm thrilled they'll be lighter than the old glass ones, but am worried they might not have the right shade, (tint?) whatever it is that made them so wonderful.
I'm sure I'll be ordering a pair - I'll report back with the good news!

They also did not have junk injected frames, basically the same as the $10 junk at the corner gas station.
They have really thin and cheap CR39 lens (the cheapest optical plastic lens made, just like the junk).
No metal hinges either, sure to break in a month or so.
These ARE DEFINATELY NOT like the old Suncloud we knew and loved. This is just someone using the name to sell $10 junk for $50-60.

KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional will consider allowing the implementation of the hudud law in Kelantan if PAS and PKR fully agree to it first, said Tan Sri Annuar Musa (BN – Ketereh).
Annuar, who is Ketereh Umno chief, said PKR must first prove that they are together with PAS on implementing hudud.
"It would be odd if PAS needs to ask Barisan, their political rival, to support hudud while their ally (PKR) does not agree to it," he said in the Parliament lobby.
Annuar said the PAS-ruled Kelantan state government needs to ensure that all parties including PKR, the state assembly and the implementing agency in the state, agree to carrying out hudud law.
Currently, Kelantan has no DAP elected representatives.
"If the implementation of hudud in Kelantan requires it to be brought to Parliament, then the same principle applies whereby all must agree to it.
"PKR must be ready to support the implementation when the matter is brought to Parliament.
"Only then will Barisan consider the move, based on the readiness of the party who is proposing to carry out the hudud law," he said.
Earlier, Datuk Mahfuz Omar (PAS – Pokok Sena) had proposed that Annuar helped to convince the Federal Government to allow hudud law to be implemented in Kelantan.
The PAS vice-president said the party was still discussing whether to put forward a motion to debate hudud law in Parliament.
It was reported that Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim who is in charge of parliamentary affairs, had said he was prepared to back a motion to debate hudud law in Parliament.
However, he said whether or not the motion would be passed depended on PAS' allies in the Opposition.

On September 30, 2010 supporters submitted an estimated 119,251 petition signatures. In order to qualify for the ballot, a minimum of 89,285 signatures are required. The Mississippi Secretary of State certified the measure for the 2011 ballot on October 25, 2010.[5][6]
This measure developed out of a 2005 United States Supreme Court ruling in Kelo v. City of New London. The court ruled that the city could in fact take away people's homes and give the property to a private party who could in turn develop the property. The court ruled that the tax revenue would benefit the public and therefore the property was used for the public.[7]
The original filing of Initiative 31 can be found here.
Text of measure
The title of the proposed amendment reads as follows:[8]
Should government be prohibited from taking private property by eminent domain and then transferring it to other persons?[9]
The summary of the amendment reads as follows:
Initiative #31 would amend the Mississippi Constitution to prohibit state and local government from taking private property by eminent domain and then conveying it to other persons or private businesses for a period of ten years after acquisition. Exceptions from the prohibition include drainage and levee facilities, roads, bridges, ports, airports, common carriers, and utilities. The prohibition would not apply in certain situations, including public nuisance, structures unfit for human habitation, or abandoned property.[9]
Fiscal note
According to the Mississippi Legislative Budget Office's fiscal analysis:[10]
- There is no determinable cost or revenue impact associated with this initiative.
The proposed measure is primarily supported by the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation. Farm Bureau President David Waide said, "Our policy has always been for stronger eminent domain laws. We have a real problem with just anybody taking property away from owners."
- Four 2011 candidates for the office of Mississippi Governor stated their support for the amendment. Those candidates were: Phil Bryant, Dave Dennis, Johnny DuPree and Bill Luckett.[11]
- Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation
- Sen. Lee Yancey
- Bob Usey, former State Senator
- Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood
- Two 2011 candidates for Mississippi Agricultural Commissioner, Cindy Hyde-Smith and Joel Gill
- Initiative organizer David Waide argued for the measure, stating, "I believe it's guaranteed in our constitution for every property owner to have the right to our property and not to be worried about government taking it for any reason other than true public use."[12]
- In a letter to the editor of the Sun Herald, state resident J.B. Brown argued for the initiative: "I have no problem with a person selling their property to a business. What I have a problem with, and what is so un-American about the situation, is that government can take your property away from you for a lower price than a business should pay. We can stop this from happening in Mississippi; there is a ballot initiative that would keep the government from taking property and transferring it to a business for a period of 10 years."[13]
- According to a column by Randy Knight, president of the Mississippi Farm Bureau Federation: "Farm Bureau's stance has always been that economic development situations are best handled with a willing buyer and a willing seller. Economic development can and does occur without the use of eminent domain. We need to do everything we can to inhibit government from using eminent domain for private economic development. I urge people to vote "yes" on [Initiative 31]."[14]
- Knight also stated: "The idea that the law protects people and there's no need for these is just untrue. Mississippi doesn't have the strong reform legislation and the Mississippi Supreme Court hasn't weighed in on it because eminent domain actions have been dropped."[15]
- State Senator Lee Yancey said, "Property rights are one of the most basic rights we have. It's wrong to take people's property and give it to a business so that it can profit off of it."[16]
- Bob Usey, former State Senator in Mississippi stated: "Mississippians should overwhelmingly pass Initiative No. 31. We already have eminent domain procedures in place for "justly taking land" when someone wants to stand in the way of a major highway, bridge, etc. The taking of private property through eminent domain by a governmental body and then transferring it to other persons in the private sector is not right in any society for any reason."[17]
- Incumbent Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood is a supporter of the measure.[18]
- Two candidates for the position of Mississippi Agricultural Commissioner, Cindy Hyde-Smith and Joel Gill, both gave their support for the measure, stating they believed it would protect ownership of private property.[19]
According to the state campaign finance database, there are no registered committees (PACs).
(last updated October 2011)
- Governor Haley Barbour
- Clarion Ledger Editorial Director David Hampton
- State Senator Johnnie Walls
- According to Clarion Ledger Editorial Director David Hampton, the initiative and referendum process brings up causes for concern. In a column, Ledger stated, "The idea of initiative and referendum has always worried me. It creates many more problems than it solves. It can result in some downright stupid and dangerous public policy." Later, Ledger commented on the three Mississippi initiatives that were certified for the ballot in 2011: Mississippians will be asked to vote on three initiatives this year, at least at this point. Two are being challenged in court and may or may not make the ballot in November. We'll see...In my opinion, not only are these items not needed, they actually can do some harm, especially the eminent domain and personhood amendments."[20]
- In a guest editorial in the Clarion Ledger, the writer, who was not mentioned by name, stated about the measure if stays on the ballot pending litigation: "The court case is likely to be argued on fairly narrow legal grounds, but if the state Supreme Court decides the initiative will stay on the ballot, voters will have to determine the issue on its policy merits. If that happens, voters will need to think long and hard before taking an important tool out of the hands of the people trying to secure jobs for a state that badly needs them."[21]
- Governor Barbour argued, "If this initiative were to pass and go into effect, it would gut state economic development efforts. There is a far better, more effective way to protect private property from improper takings than this."[22]
- According to Leland Speed, in a letter to the Laurel Leader-Call, he argued: "Eminent domain still would be used to acquire land for roads, bridges, airports and other infrastructure projects. Only economic development would be affected by the initiative, and Mississippi would be prevented from competing with other states to attract the jobs we so desperately need. Without eminent domain, Mississippi would never have competed successfully for Nissan, Toyota or the Stennis Space Center. We cannot afford to close the door on future economic development projects that would create thousands of jobs."[23]
- In 2009, the Governor Haley Barbour vetoed a bill that proposed limiting the state's authority to take property. Barbour argues such bills would hinder the state's ability to attract industry. Dan Turner, the governor's spokesperson said,"Eliminating eminent domain is a good way to severely hurt Mississippi's ability to compete for economic development and create more and better jobs."[16]
- State Senator Johnnie Walls said, "I have mixed feelings about eminent domain. People need jobs, and I would think the government needs to make sure that there's a valid reason for using (eminent domain)."[16]
According to the state campaign finance database, there are no registered committees (PACs).
(last updated October 2011)
Media endorsements
- The Clarion Ledger expressed their opinion of the measure in an editorial, writing: "What's really frustrating is that Mississippi's eminent domain law already bends over backwards to protect property owners. Unlike some other states, it's frankly just not an issue here. Rather than protecting property owners, the initiative would just kill jobs."[24]

Initiative process
It was reported on June 5, 2011 that a lawsuit was filed in Hinds County Circuit Court challenging the ballot measure. The lawsuit was filed against the Mississippi Secretary of State's office by Leland Speed, a Mississippi businessman who is the leader of the Mississippi Development Authority. However, Speed stated that he filed the lawsuit as a private citizen. According to Speed: "This initiative will hurt opportunities for thousands of Mississippians for better jobs and for better lives."[25]
Specifically, the lawsuit challenges that the measure is unconstitutional, as Speed argues that it attempts to amend the state's Bill of Rights, which he says cannot be changed by initiative.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for July 25, 2011.[26]
The court was scheduled to hear arguments on July 25, 2011. The presiding judge on the case is Circuit Judge Winston Kidd. A ruling is expected during that same week.[11][27]
Ruling and appeal
Kidd ruled on July 29, 2011 that the initiative could stay on the ballot. Kidd ruled that the initiative did not conflict with the Mississippi Constitution's Bill of Rights. According to Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, who is against eminent domain restrictions, stated that the ruling could be appealed in the Mississippi Supreme Court.[28]
A three-judge panel with the Mississippi Supreme Court will review the ruling, as justices agreed to expedite the appeal. They also requested that paperwork be submitted by August 12, 2011. The court has also not yet scheduled oral arguments for the case.[29][30]
Path to the ballot
- See also: Mississippi signature requirements
Initiative filing
When introducing a citizen-initiated ballot measure in the state, the first step is to file a typewritten copy of the proposed initiative with the Mississippi Secretary of State. The sponsor has the authority to accept or reject any of the recommendations from the Revisor of the Statutes, who receives the initiative from the secretary. The Attorney General will then draft the ballot title (not exceeding 20 words) and the ballot summary (not exceeding 75 words). The Attorney General will file both the title and summary with the Secretary of State, who will then notify the sponsor by certified mail of the exact language in the ballot title and summary. Once the ballot title and ballot summary have been finalized, the sponsor may begin collecting signatures.
- See also: Signature requirements in Mississippi
To qualify for the ballot, its supporters must have garnered about 89,284 valid signatures. According to Mississippi law, the number of signatures collected must be greater than 12% of the total number of votes cast for Governor in the last gubernatorial general election.
Mississippi has a distribution requirement: 20% from each of the five congressional districts. According to Section 273, Paragraph (3) of the Mississippi Constitution, "The signatures of the qualified electors from any congressional district shall not exceed one-fifth (1/5) of the total number of signatures required to qualify an initiative petition for placement upon the ballot. If an initiative petition contains signatures from a single congressional district which exceed one-fifth (1/5) of the total number of required signatures, the excess number of signatures from that congressional district shall not be considered by the Secretary of State in determining whether the petition qualifies for placement on the ballot."
According to September 12, 2010 reports, supporters announced they had gathered almost enough signatures to qualify the measure for the 2011 ballot. Supporters continued to circulate petitions in the old 4th District and 2nd District.
Signature filing and verification
On September 30, 2010 supporters submitted petition signatures. The Mississippi Secretary of State certified that 119,692 valid signatures were filed, exceeding the minimum requirements. The measure was referred to the 2011 ballot following certification on October 25, 2010.[5][31][32][33][34]
Legislative review
The measure is an indirect initiated constitutional amendment, which means that it was proposed by citizens through initiative and does not go immediately to the ballot after a successful petition drive to collect sufficient valid signatures. Rather, once the signatures are collected, the amendment that the citizens are proposing must first be submitted to the state legislature for consideration. Only after the state legislature has considered and possibly also taken a limited range of options that may affect the amendment does it go on the statewide ballot for consideration by the voters.
The Mississippi House of Representatives on January 12, 2011 passed a bill similar to the initiative. The measure will now be sent to the Mississippi State Senate. If the measure passed by the senate and enacted, this would forgo a November vote on the issue.[35]

|Supporters announced they had gathered almost enough signatures to qualify the measure.

Stephenie Meyer is ruining Rom-coms too now…
July 6, 2011 12:11:48 Posted at July 6, 2011 12:11:48
Written by Sarah Although, I suppose, there's not that much left to ruin anyway. I am a sucker for old romantic comedies—and I mean old, like Bringing Up Baby or It Happened One Night—which is why I'm so hard on modern rom-coms. Full Story

Written by Sarah I think you all understand my disdain for the Twilight Saga as "literature", and that I hold the movies to be only slightly better at best. I have zero respect for Stephenie Meyer as a writer. One of the few times I've ever been in synch with Oprah was when she had Meyer on her show and proceeded to treat Meyer like a housewife who won the lottery (which, basically, she did). Full Story

|April is National Occupational Therapy Month
Each year in April, occupational therapists, occupational therapy assistants, and students host a month long celebration showcasing the importance of Occupational Therapy (OT).
All Children's Hospital is pleased to recognize the 47 occupational therapists that work at our twelve sites located throughout west central Florida. These specially trained professionals make up part of the multidisciplinary team that makes a children's hospital unique. Their services encompass both acute care and outpatient evaluation and treatment.
Occupational therapy is a science-driven, evidenced based profession that enables people of all ages to live life to its fullest by helping them promote health, prevent-or live better with-injury, illness, or disability. The occupational therapist's care plan is designed for each individual and is supported by data, experience, and "best practices" that have been developed and proven over time.
Pediatric occupational therapy at All Children's Hospital helps children gain independence and promotes development of fine motor skills, sensory motor skills and visual motor skills that children need to function and socialize in their home, school, play and community environments. In the case of an injury or debilitating illness, our services focus on rehabilitating children, allowing them to return to their daily routines at their highest level of function.
Please join us in thanking all of our occupational therapists for their commitment and dedication!

It's been almost 3 years since I last posted a blog on my website. So much has happened, and there have been drastic changes in my life since that time. My blogs consisted of the stories/journey through which my songs were written, and I believe I didn't even get ½ way through before I stopped…before I fell in love... It's a little late to be recapping at this point in time, but I will encourage you to download or buy the album, "Make Everything Bright." It's almost Labor Day…you know, the big shopping and gift giving day of the year! *kidding* You can listen and make up your own stories of what you think the songs may be about!
Well, where to start? Right before my 2011 tour to Norway, I began corresponding with an old friend. I was living in Nashville, he, (on a ship most of the time in the Gulf of Mexico), living in Fairhope, Alabama. You know, that's what I get for writing that song, The Ocean (1 year before that point)! It all happened in this cosmic/Universal free & floating kind of way. Basically, to make a very long story short, we connected in a way I had not experienced before… I dedicated myself to THREE HOURS on the telephone the first day we talked. If anyone knows me well, they KNOW that I hate talking on the phone, unless it's to my mom or my close girlfriends. So, that was a HUGE sign. We corresponded back and forth writing emails, letters and chatting. Christmas rolled around and we finally got to actually see each other in person. And at that point, we both knew it was "going on!" One year later, we were married, and I relocated from Nashville to LA, Lower Alabama! Oh, I forgot to tell you his name….Wally Milham! And yes, you can laugh because I do it everyday when I say out loud or to myself, "Molly & Wally"!
I am now the proud step-parent of Wally's two hipster teens, Laney (17) and Caleb (15). I didn't just jump in, I dove straight in the deep end (Molly style) and started swimming (sometimes drowning, lol)! There have been challenges, as you can imagine…me having no kids of my own and now raising 2 teens. Do you now know why I took a break from music??? Well, we have all acclimated and settled in, and are feeling good! So, at this point, couldn't keep myself from trying to put a band together and get back to gigging.
Let me interrupt myself again…. 1994! I moved to Mobile, AL from Hattiesburg, MS to join a rock & roll band, Slow Moses. The drummer of that band was John Milham…..Wally's brother! That's how Wally and I first met. TWENTY years later, John and I have started a new band, along with a few other guys (John Keuler on bass & James Marshall Wamble), and we are calling ourselves, Molly Thomas & The Rare Birds. I mean, what a full circle! It's just crazy!
I don't like to write long blogs because I know most of you don't have time, and let's get real… they can be quite boring, But I did want to update you all and let you know I was still around and music just won't go away. We have our first gig as, Molly Thomas & The Rare Birds next month, Sunday, September 21st at Callaghan's Irish Social Club in Mobile, Alabama. I hope many of you can make it. My mailing list is full of people scattered through out the world. Please stay in touch, and I promise, I will record another record for your casual listening, in due time. My father always called me a late bloomer, and now I know why.
Until then, may you all have a peaceful week and love each other and hug everyone you can.
Peace & Love,
