Washington, District of Columbia
Washington, D.C. formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington, the District, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States, founded on July 16, 1790. The City of Washington was originally a separate municipality within the Territory of Columbia until an act of Congress in 1871 effectively merged the City and the Territory into a single entity called the District of Columbia. It is for this reason that the city, while legally named the District of Columbia, is known as Washington, D.C.

To check that you have the correct font file, compare the font version of your font file to the font version provided in the Release Notes section below.
HistoryOrator is a monospaced typeface made up of capitals and small capitals only; it can be used for tabular material or technical documentation. The name Orator comes from the notion that capitals and small capitals are clearer than upper and lowercase letters, thus making it useful for speech notes. It was designed for IBM typewriters by John Scheppler.
Menu Names And Style Linking
In many Windows® applications, instead of every font appearing on the menu, fonts are grouped into style-linked sets, and only the name of the base style font for a set is shown in the menu. The italic and the bold weight fonts of the set are not shown, and but can still be accessed by selecting the base style font, and then using the italic and bold style buttons. In this family, such programs will show only the following base style font names in the menu:Orator Std
The other fonts in this family must be selected by choosing a menu name and then a style option following the guide below.
|Menu Name
|plus Style Option...
|selects this font
|Orator Std
|Orator Std Medium
|Orator Std
|Orator Std Slanted
On the Mac OS operating system, although each font appears as a separate entry on the font menu, users may also select fonts by means of style links. Selecting a base style font and then using the style links (as described above for Windows applications) enhances cross-platform document compatibility with many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Adobe® PageMaker® software, although it is unnecessary with more sophisticated Adobe applications such as recent versions of Illustrator®, Photoshop® or InDesign® software.
One should not, however, select a weight which has no style-linked variant or is itself a style-linked variant, and then additionally use the bold or italic styling button. Doing so will either have no effect, or result in programmatic bolding or slanting of the base font, which will usually produce inferior screen and print results.

The first Intermountain Equifest at the Eastern Idaho State Fairgrounds concluded Sunday evening.
The Equifest featured horses, trainers, vendors and concessionaires. Trainers came from Colorado, California and Coeur d'Alene.
Trainer Aaron Ralston from Silt, Colo., demonstrated bridleless horsemanship. He worked with a 4-year-old Appaloosa stallion named Chief who had been ridden 20 times.
FORT HALL — One man is dead following a one-car rollover near Fort Hall about 1:10 a.m. Saturday.
Cullen Fights Over, 19, of Fort Hall died at Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello of injuries he suffered in the rollover, according to an Idaho State Police report.
Fights Over and Danae Jimmie, 19, of Blackfoot were passengers in a 1999 pickup which Kendall Perry, 21, of Blackfoot was driving on Philbin Road when Perry lost control and went off the road. The vehicle rolled into a field.
Jimmie and Fights Over were taken to area hospitals for treatment.
ROSE — The Wild Adventure Corn Maze has a new owner and location with the old price, said owner Richard Johnson.
The new location is one-quarter mile west of Exit 98 on Interstate 15 (the Rose-Firth exit). Coming from Rose, the maze is located east of the Rose corner.
Last Wednesday, Shawn Stolworthy and Chayce Whitworth were at the corn maze doing some trim work.
The Rose corn maze was planted with the insignia for the 75th anniversary of the Idaho Potato Commission. The corn maze covers 10 acres with five miles of trail.
Shawn Stolworthy designs and cuts mazes into field corn.
BLACKFOOT – Jesse William Allen Whipkey, 67, accepted a plea agreement to aggravated assault with an enhancement for use of a deadly weapon in committing a felony Thursday afternoon.
He faces a maximum sentence of five years for aggravated assault with an additional 15 years for using or attempting to use a firearm in commission of a felony.
The aggravated assault charge states Whipkey intentionally tried to do violence to another person, namely his daughter, Amy Mayer, when he aimed a .22 pistol at her and pulled the trigger.
BLACKFOOT — Blackfoot teens Cameron Baker (vocalist) and Josh Spencer (pianist) had their first taste of performing live music together in a large concert venue Tuesday evening in Salt Lake City and now have their first music video out on Youtube.
The teens were chosen from an audition tape to open for popular singer Dia Frampton (well known for being a runner up on the reality TV show - 'The Voice') at the concert venue 'The Complex'.
"I was a little nervous stepping out and singing that first song," Baker said, "but then I was able to relax a little and enjoy the moments."
SHELLEY — Shelley school board trustees approved the school district's budget for school year 2012-13.
"There are no real surprises," said Shelley Business Manager Trish Dixon.
"The first 10 days of enrollment will determine if the trustees need to decide on an emergency levy for the coming year," said Dixon.
In Shelley, an emergency levy is based on the first nine days of enrollment compared to the first nine days of the previous school year, she said. If there is an unexpected increase in the number of students, a certain formula is applied to cover costs of the unexpected students.
POCATELLO — Shane Parkinson scattered three hits over seven innings while Cash Cardona and Travis Robertson reached base eight times between them as the Snake River Panthers picked up a big road win against the Pocatello Rebels on Wednesday evening.
"We had men on base in every inning it seemed like," Snake River head coach Tom Strickland said. "The kids were just really hitting the ball well and really, this game could have been a ten run ball game if not for a couple of balls that we hit right at them."
BLACKFOOT — The trial of Jesse William Whipkey, age 67, started Tuesday afternoon before Seventh District Judge David C. Nye.
A jury of six men and seven women are impaneled to hear this case. The 13th juror hears the case but will not deliberate with the other jurors.
Whipkey faces two charges. On count one, Whipkey is charged with attempted murder. Count two is an enhancement charge for use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Both charges are felonies.
Tuesday, Whipkey's daughters explained the circumstances that led up to this alleged crime.

JON CARDINELLI writes that great goal-kicking was the difference in the Brumbies' 37-25 victory over the Hurricanes in Wellington.
How did the Hurricanes conspire to throw this match away? They scored their fourth try in the third quarter and looked to be cruising to an important win, but faded badly in the last 20 minutes and allowed the visitors to score 19 unanswered points.
It will be regarded as an ugly win for Jake White's team even though they bagged five log points from a difficult visit to Wellington. It was also ironic that some form of kicking would propel the Brumbies to a fantastic result, as their kicking from hand was nothing short of aimless.
They controlled the earlier periods of play and shot to a 10-0 lead, but were subsequently punished for some poor tactical punts. Too often the high balls or tactical probes were too long, allowing a dangerous Hurricanes back three to collect and counter-attack with damaging results.
The Hurricanes forwards also came back strongly, and TJ Perenara scored in the 17th minute after the heavies had set a great platform. Victor Vito added the hosts' second from a neat set-piece move, and the Hurricanes looked to have seized the initiative right before half-time.
Perenara snatched his second after the break, finishing an opportunity that was rooted again in strong forward play and poor kicking by the Brumbies.
Rookie flyhalf Zack Holmes managed to goal a penalty during this period, but the Canes kept on coming, and another strong drive from the lineout had the Brumbies defence stretched. Reserve prop Jeffrey Toomaga-Allen barrelled over from a subsequent surge, and at 25-16 the Canes were set for a fine finish.
But while the Canes had done well to win the battle for territory and punish Brumbies errors, they had failed to capitalise via an accurate goal-kicking performance. Following Toomaga-Allen's try, they were nine points ahead, but wayward goal-attempts meant they had left a further nine points out on the field. It was this inaccuracy, as well as an unforgivable lapse in the last quarter, that would result in them losing the game.
The Brumbies were guilty of poor kicking out of hand, but they stuck to their tactics and began to enjoy the benefits in the dying stages. Their forwards also came back strongly, and it was some neat inter-passing between the visiting tight forwards that resulted in a try by lock Sam Carter.
They looked to have botched a scoring opportunity when they knocked on five metres out from the Canes' tryline, but won a tighthead at the ensuing scrum. Michael Hooper swooped on the loose ball and emerged from a pile of bodies. The accurate goal-kicking boot of Holmes ensured that they made the lead five points instead of three.
The Brumbies flyhalf completed a memorable first start with a seven pointer moments later, and at 37-25, the game was over. The Canes attempted to close the gap in last 10 minutes but coughed up possession at the critical moment. In the end, a determined Brumbies defensive effort denied the Canes a losing bonus point.
The result sees the Brumbies consolidating their place at the top of the Australian conference and keeping the Reds at arm's length. Following such a gutting loss at home, the Hurricanes should struggle to stay in the play-off race.

Term limits, now
Friday - 2/1/2013, 2:00am EST
A few months ago, Congress was talking about extending the 2011-2012 federal pay freeze (still in effect) even longer. Then it got cold feet and proposed, instead, that if it doesn't get its own act together its members should go without pay. That would be a hardship, but not much of one because so many of our elected leaders today are millionaires.
Although they work for the same government and are paid from the same source (the U.S. Treasury), representatives, senators, presidents and Cabinet officers are very different from rank-and-file civil servants. They can make "mistakes" with their taxes that would get the typical IRS employee fired on the spot.
They can and do tailor congressional districts so that the party that controls the state legislature can almost guarantee that its candidate for the House will win. Again and again. What that means is that in many districts the people don't decide who gets elected, but rather that the politicians decide who can vote for them. Both political parties have done it. And both continue to gerrymander congressional districts. Most people agree that the worst example (and there are many bad ones) is Maryland's 3rd Congressional District. It is home to tens of thousands of feds in the Washington-Baltimore area and it looks more like a paint splatter than a voting district.
Lots of feds feel they have sacrificed enough and are tired of being used as a political football. Here's a note from one who says it's time for term limits:
"As you know, with threats from Congress of layoffs and shutdowns to make themselves look good with the voters, the public really doesn't understand what's going on. When House Speaker Newt Gingrich and President Bill Clinton had that little tiff a few years back, they told the public that they were shutting down the government but, in fact, you know that wasn't the case. They shut down selective parts of the government but this never occurs to the general public. Were they to shut down the entire federal government, the country would come to a complete standstill! If the population were to understand this, they might not be so quick to criticize federal workers who are loyal, hard-working civil servants and the whipping boys and girls that Congress uses whenever they find themselves in the hot seat.
"This is the worst do-nothing Congress this country has ever had and it isn't the fault of the federal employees! Since they aren't doing anything, why don't we not only furlough them but fire them for non-performance. No pay is a ploy, how about "NO JOB!" We can hold special elections across the country and replace them quickly if we put our minds to it but that would mean instead of being a nation of sheep which is what we've become, we would start to get our frontier spirit back and get some you know whats!
"If we don't demand a good government, we won't get one! They have had their way with us for far too long and are taking more and more liberties with our laws and the Constitution in the dead of night or in closed-door sessions or in tacking on bills that would never pass on their own merit to other bills that have to pass. They can give themselves raises. Huh? The people should vote whether they get a raise or not, don't you think. It's our money! They have also exempted themselves from the laws they passed but we have to live by . huh? What's good for the goose is good for the gander! If they had to live by the laws they passed, there would be far fewer laws on the books.
Time for a personnel change on the Hill, Mike: One six-year term for everybody — Congress, Senate, President! — An old grumpy Washington guy!

That sort of fear makes watercolorist Joan Pinney just grin.
Pinney, the Schack Art Center's Artist of the Year for 2014, is the focus of the current show at the Schack in Everett.
Maren Oates, a Schack spokeswoman, calls Pinney an accomplished watercolorist "who draws inspiration from her extensive travels in the Pacific Northwest. Dramatic skies, sun-washed houses, mountains, waterfalls, quiet harbors, lighthouses and sailboats across (the region) all contribute to her creativity and provide the themes for many of her paintings."
Since 1992, the Schack — formerly the Arts Council of Snohomish County — has annually honored one artist who is recognized by his or her peers for their considerable accomplishments and contributions to the visual arts in Snohomish County.
Pinney, who lives and works in Snohomish, has produced paintings that have been selected by jury in regional and national shows, including the Northwest Watercolor Society's annual show and the Frye Museum's Puget Sound Area Exhibition.
In 1999, Pinney received the Northwest Watercolor Society's purchase award. Foss Maritime has selected her paintings for six company calendars. In the 2008 West Coast Paper Exhibition, one of her paintings was chosen for the third place award. Her commissioned work can be seen in many collections, including on the eighth floor of the Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett.
Pinney, 69, is a "signature" member of the Northwest Watercolor Society and a founding member of the Sky Valley Artists Guild and the Arts of Snohomish Gallery, where she maintains an exhibit of her work. The Schack gift shop also carries numerous prints of her paintings.
In the current art show at Schack, look for "Golden Light," a seemingly impossible representation of the morning sun coming around the corner of an island ridge somewhere in the Salish Sea. Or find the glowing image of Mount Rainier.
In order to capture that light, "Watercolor must be planned and painted in stages, sometimes actually masking areas off while other parts are painted," Pinney said. "You have to be sort of a scientist to know what needs to happen when."
Pinney, who starts painting early each morning, often uses a water spray bottle, a dribble of paint and the rotation of her paper to get her ideas flowing.
"These scenes just come out of my head."
In one corner of the show, see a number of small vertical paintings, primarily of wilderness waterfalls, most of which had a start with that spray bottle. Along with paint brushes, Pinney uses everyday household items such as an empty toilet paper roll to help shape her scenes, including the ledges of those waterfalls.
Some of the paintings in the show are separated twins.
"The good thing about painting on paper is that you are just a razor blade away from something new, like two paintings," Pinney said.
The show includes scenes of her trips to Europe, some portraits, florals and houses in historic Snohomish. However, her forte may be landscapes and seascapes.
"I know I have succeeded with a painting if I can smell the air in the scene or I can hear the running water," she said.
Pinney was "dumbfounded" to be named the artist of the year.
"It is a great honor and very humbling, considering all the great artists we have in this area," Pinney said.

Mark Campbell - Head Coach
Coaching Records
Mark Campbell has just finished his fourth year as head coach of the Lady Bulldogs. This past season, he led Union to their best regular season in school history with 30 wins before the post season tournaments. Campbell also helped continue the dominance as Union won their eighth straight conference championship, including all seven TranSouth Championships. Campbell and the Lady Bulldogs finished the season 34-3 overall and a 15-1 record in the TranSouth Conference.
Campbell spent five seasons as a player for the Lipscomb Bison basketball team and graduated from Lipscomb University in 1994 with a Bachelor of Arts degree and from Union University in 1996 with a Master of Education.
After red-shirting his freshman season at Lipscomb, Campbell went on to excel in the basketball arena. Campbell currently ranks 12th in all-time scoring at Lipscomb with 1,509 prints. The 724 assists he accumulated during his career places him in the top five at David Lipscomb for career assists. Campbell helped guide the Bisons to five national tournament appearances, a 129-19 four-year record, and a national record of 42 wins in a season.
After college, Campbell joined Union's men's basketball coaching staff as the graduate assistant in 1994 and then became the full time assistant coach in 1996. He worked under the guidance of fellow Lipscomb graduate and current Union men's head coach Ralph Turner for five seasons until being named the new women's basketball coach in 1999. Over the past four seasons as Union's coach, Campbell has been named as the TranSouth Coach of the Year twice (2001, 2002) and has an overall record of 128-20 (.864).
Mark Campbell is married to the former Molly Graves of Jackson. They are the proud parents of their first child, Gray, born on July 10, 2002. The Campbell Family is also expecting their second child in mid April of 2004.
Katie Woodruff - Assistant Coach
Katie Woodruff is now in her third season with the Lady Bulldogs. She joined the Lady Bulldog coaching staff in 2001 from Kansas City. There she worked for K-Life, Inc. on their women's staff helping to develop female volunteers to effectively disciple small groups.
As a player for John Brown University in Arkansas, she was an All-Conference performer on the court while participating in the Sooner Athletic Conference with NAIA powerhouse teams such as Oklahoma City and Southern Nazarene. After graduating from John Brown University in 1996 with a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology, Woodruff worked for two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at the College of the Ozarks. In 1998, Woodruff began her graduate work at the University of Arkansas in recreation management. As a graduate assistant, she served as the program coordinator for the school's "Champions of Character" program which included activities such as leading small discipleship groups and developing character training programs for student athletes. She also became very involved with the Arkansas Athletes Outreach program on campus. In addition to her responsibilities at the university, Woodruff taught physical education to children in kindergarten through fifth grade at a local elementary school.
With extensive experience in the game of basketball as a player and coach and the recipient of several honors, Woodruff believes she has all of the qualifications necessary for her new job, not only because of her many years of experience, but due to her passion for working with student athletes.
Tonya Tuggles - Graduate Assistant
Tonya Tuggles is beginning her first season as a graduate assistant coach for Union after spending last season as a student assistant. She is a 2003 graduate of Union University with a Bachelors of Science degree in Physical Education and Health. Currently, Tuggles is working on her masters of Art and Education and looks to finish in December of 2005.
After graduated high school from Bradford in 1998, Tuggles played four years of basketball for the Union Lady Bulldogs. During her time at Union, the Lady Bulldogs won all four TranSouth Conference Championships and participated in one NAIA Final Four, two NAIA Elite Eights, and one NAIA Sweet Sixteen. Over her four years, Tuggles played in 136 of 142 team games for the Lady Bulldogs, including every game during her freshman, sophomore, and junior seasons. She scored a total of 943 points and grabbed 707 career rebounds. Union compiled an overall record of 125-22 during her four years. As a freshman, Tuggles was a member of, NAIA Hall of Fame coach, Dr. David Blackstock's final Lady Bulldog team.
Tonya is the daughter of Georgia B. Tuggles of Bradford, Tennessee.

Hormone Therapy
Traditionally, hot flashes have been treated with either oral or transdermal (patch) forms of estrogen. Hormone therapy (HT), also referred to as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or postmenopausal hormone therapy (PHT), consists of estrogens alone or a combination of estrogens and progesterone (progestin). All available prescription estrogen medications, whether oral or transdermal; are effective in reducing the frequency of hot flashes and their severity. Research indicates that these medications decrease the frequency of hot flashes.
However, long-term studies (the NIH-sponsored Women's Health Initiative, or WHI) of women receiving combined hormone therapy with both estrogen and progesterone were halted when it was discovered that these women had an increased risk for heart attack, stroke, and breast cancer when compared with women who did not receive hormone therapy. Later studies of women taking estrogen therapy alone showed that estrogen was associated with an increased risk for stroke, but not for heart attack or breast cancer. Estrogen therapy alone, however, is associated with an increased risk of developing endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) in postmenopausal women who have not had their uterus surgically removed.
More recently, it has been noted that the negative effects associated with hormone therapy were described in older women who were years beyond menopause, and some researchers have suggested that these negative outcomes might be lessened or prevented if hormone therapy was given to younger women (prior to or around the age of menopause) instead of women years beyond menopause.
The decision in regard to starting or continuing hormone therapy, therefore, is an individual one in which the patient and doctor must take into account the inherent risks and benefits of the treatment along with each woman's own medical history. It is currently recommended that if hormone therapy is used, it should be used at the smallest effective dose for the shortest possible time.

Scans have revealed that Francois Louw's neck injury is not as serious as initially feared and the flanker will be available for the Springboks' tour to Europe.
Louw hurt his neck in a Premiership game over the weekend, and Bath coach Gary Gold said afterwards that the injury looked serious. However, following scans and tests on Monday, Gold told Beeld that the injury has nothing to do with the flanker's veterbrae, and Louw just has a stiff neck.
Gold suggested that Louw could even be utilised in Bath's Premiership match against London Welsh this Sunday. It bodes well for the Boks' tour, which starts next week with a fixture against Ireland in Dublin.

The Blues Bulls will face the Pumas in the U18 Craven Week day four feature match in PE.
The Bulls are one step away from qualifying for this year's unofficial final. They'll need to beat the Pumas on Thursday, which will be the day four highlight game.
The Bulls impressed during their 47-27 victory over WP, scoring three tries in the final quarter to breakdown a 27-26 half-time deficit. They boasted a physical, mobile pack and their backline exposed a weak WP defensive system.
The Pumas eased past to a 48-24 win over the Griffons on Tuesday, but should struggle against the schoolboys from the Pretoria union.
In other matches, WP will tackle SWD – a side they lost to in a warm-up game a few weeks ago.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul has made some interesting speeches lately. Clearly, he's attempting to set himself up for a run of some kind in the future.
However, on closer inspection his comments are worth noting.
First, Paul performed a 13-hour filibuster, in which he railed against the executive power of drone attacks. A few weeks later, the junior Republican senator from Kentucky talked about immigration where he said, "I think the conversation needs to start by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants. If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you."
Let's examine the first statement. As for the "executive power" to prepare, plan and execute drone attacks, I would say this is an extremely gray area. The irony here is the roots of this issue can be traced directly Rand's own party and the Patriot Act. This unprecedented legislation gave our federal government the ability to exercise significant powers over our citizens by expanding the government's authority to wiretap and lowering standards of probable cause and allowing significantly more search warrants and subpoenas.
Executive Order 13223 further muddies the water by allowing the executive branch to claim executive privilege over documents concerning their administration. President George W. Bush also changed the landscape by setting the stage for America to circumvent international organizations and ignore international treaties. This allows the U.S. to act in its own self-interest and make war if the president thinks an attack is imminent.
Right or wrong, these decisions have put an enormous amount of control in the president's lap and, when combined with the exploding technology of drones, has set the stage for what it taking place today.
Personally, I had major issues with the PATRIOT Act and EO13223 from the get-go. It straight-up tramples our civil rights while hiding behind the American flag. The ironic part is that it is a bill written, produced and pushed through by Rand's own party's leadership.
To bring up these inconsistencies now just reeks of partisan politics, but the sentiment is as much needed now as it was when the bill passed the first time around. There is no question in my mind this is an area that needs to be addressed.
However, it's Rand's timing that I question. If President Bush were still aiming the drones, would we be having this conversation? I think not.
Paul's statement of "No American should be killed by a drone on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found guilty of a crime by a court. We are a nation of laws protected by the constitution where all citizens are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The question of "How can you kill someone without going to a judge, or a jury?" would be comical if it didn't contain some credibility. The fact is I question whether Paul's comments were about President Obama or our citizens' civil rights.
Paul kicked things up a notch a few weeks later when he said, "Immigration reform will not occur until conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. That's why I am here today to begin that conversation and be part of the solution. I think the conversation needs to start by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants. If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you."
Wait, what? You ARE NOT going to deport all the illegals? Interesting.
The so-called "Pathway to citizenship" has been the crux of the immigration argument from the beginning. Those on the right have clamored about deportation and so forth for so long it has completely stalled any attempt at true immigration reform.
The idea that you can deport all of the illegal immigrants is just stupid. How are you going to pay for something on this massive scale? Think of the sheer manpower required to gather up, detain and ship 12 million people out of the country. That's a ton of employees needed and we haven't even begun to talk about equipment (buses, trucks, etc.) and housing that would need to be built.
I happen to agree with Paul for the most part on his view of immigration. You have to start with the idea the people already in the U.S.must be given some sort of "amnesty." Call it whatever you want but you have to start here.
Next, you can tackle border security. It is pointless to attempt to herd all the illegal immigrants while our borders are like sieves.
The irony to me is that while we focus attention on our borders in the south, the terrorists from 9/11 came through Canada. We can argue all day about the reasons behind our preoccupation with the Mexican border and true reasons behind our obsession/problem. In the end, I could care less if someone wants to come to Americato work in our produce fields but I am a bit concerned about those wanting to fly a plane into our buildings.
We have lost sight of what is truly important here: our security and freedom is what is important. I would much rather live in a country other people strive to come to than the alternative.
Paul's remarks also carry extensive repercussions within the Republican Party.
His talk about drones flies in the face of the traditional "macho" image of the Old Guard Republicans, who have given at least the perception they were war-ready. Any talk of "rights" and limited "war powers" has, at least in the past, traditionally been linked to the Democrats.
As for immigration, even acknowledging that deporting all of the illegal immigrants is 180 degrees from the bulk of the Republican Party.
It's interesting that one of the leading Libertarian-Tea Party voices has such differing opinions on these explosive issues than the core of his own party. I think it's possible these may be more popular opinions amongst conservatives than the more traditional views held by Speaker Boehner and so of his cohorts.
Does this suggest a widening divide within the Republican or even bigger news of a shift in the party's ideology? Or is this the rise of a true Libertarian Party? Who knows, but it should be interesting to see where conservatives fall on many of these tough issues in the near future.

Customer Reviews for Living Room White / Off-White Semi-Opaque Panel Track Window Blinds
"Love These Panels!"
By PanelFan from St. Louis, MO
These panels are so much better than the vertical blinds we used to have hanging in front of our sliding glass door. When they are closed they still let in light, but give you the privacy you want as well. They are so different from anything I've seen before. Everyone that comes to our house comments on how stylish they look. They have transformed the eat-in area of our kitchen to the coziest place in the house! We are so happy to have found these.View this product
"Just right"
By Panel fan from Missouri
We were looking for a simple, easy to maintain treatment for our sliding glass doors. These panel track blinds are just right. They stack to the left of the door giving us full advantage of the light. The customer service rep was very helpful talking us through the measurements and finding out just what our goal was for the sliding panels.View this product

Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule and Milk
On April 18, 2011, EPA published a final rule amending the SPCC regulations to exempt milk and milk product containers, associated piping and appurtenances. EPA believes that certain specific construction and sanitation standards and requirements address the prevention of oil discharges in quantities that may be harmful. The capacity of the exempt milk and milk product containers, piping and appurtenances should not be included in a facility's total oil storage capacity calculation to determine if the facility is subject to SPCC. The Agency is also removing the compliance date requirements for the exempt containers.
Regulation: Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Rule - Final Amendments (PDF) (9 pp, 212K, about PDF)
Fact Sheet: Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Final Rule - Exemption for Milk and Milk Product Containers, Associated Piping and Appurtenances (PDF) (2 pp, 51K, about PDF)
Frequent Questions
Question: Why did EPA regulate milk in the first place?
All kinds of oils, including animal fats and vegetable oils, have been considered oils under the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rule based on the legislative definition of "oil" in the Clean Water Act. Milk is considered an oil and its storage and handling have been subject to the SPCC rule, which is intended to prevent damage to the inland waters and shorelines of the United States.
Question: Is milk currently regulated by EPA under SPCC?
During EPA's rulemaking efforts, we provided extensions to revise SPCC Plans. EPA also delayed the SPCC compliance date by which a facility must address milk and milk product containers until the Agency could issue this final rule.
Question: What action is EPA taking for milk and milk products?
EPA is amending the SPCC rule to exempt milk and milk products containers and associated piping and appurtenances from the SPCC requirements. The Agency is also removing the compliance date requirements for the exempt containers.
Question: What milk and milk products are covered by the exemption?
The exemption will cover all containers, piping and appurtenances of milk and milk products. For example, milk products include cheeses, yogurts and ice cream. Additionally, transfers and milk handling associated with these containers and appurtenances and exempt from the SPCC requirements.
Question: Are all milk farms and milk producers exempt?
The exemption is for all milk and milk product containers, piping and appurtenances, but does not exempt containers that store other oils, such as petroleum oil at dairies, milk producers and milk product manufacturing facilities. These facilities will not have to account for, or address the exempt milk and milk products containers in their SPCC Plans. As a result of this exemption, some facilities may either be no longer subject to the SPCC rule or eligible for streamlined requirements as qualified facilities.
Question: What is the basis for the exemption?
EPA is finalizing this exemption because we believe that milk production is already subject to other standards and requirements that will help prevent spills.
Question: Is there any public health risk created by this exemption?
No. Milk and milk product containers, piping and appurtenances are subject to regulatory standards and requirements for safe human consumption. These standards also serve to prevent discharges to waters of the U.S.
Question: Why did the milk container exemption take so long to finalize?
EPA started developing an exemption when the issue was raised by the milk industry, which led to the 2009 proposed rule. Since then, we have been completing the steps required to finalize a rule, including soliciting and considering public input, evaluating the impact of the rule, and making final decisions on the rule.
Question: Does this rulemaking only address milk and milk products?
Yes. This rulemaking does not exempt any other non-petroleum or petroleum based oil from SPCC requirements. EPA developed this rule for milk and milk products because they are subject to certain specific construction and sanitation standards and requirements that also serve to prevent discharges to waters of the U.S.
Question: What should I do if milk, milk products, or other oils are spilled in significant quantities (such as from a tanker or storage facility) into an inland waterway or shoreline?
You must report the spill to the National Response Center (NRC) at 800-424-8802 or 1-202-426-2675. The NRC is the federal government's centralized reporting center, which is staffed 24 hours per day by U.S. Coast Guard personnel.

Four golfers finished inside the top-40 overall including Weinberger at 18th. One stroke behind him was A.T. Cashwell who shot a 71 and 76, good for 20th place. Tying for 39th overall were teammates Nathan Bull and Zach Weaver who each shot 150.
Wingate won the men's side with a score of 574, three shots ahead of Mount Olive. Pfeiffer shot almost identical team scores in the two days, posting a 297 on the first afternoon and a 296 on day two.
Lauren Lyle paced the women's team, shooting 157 over the two-day event. Lyle's 75 on the first afternoon of the tournament was the best score for Pfeiffer, as she finished 17th overall. Narrowly behind her was sophomore Danielle Haizlip who shot a 158, good for 22nd place. Sarah Baldwin and Georgi Hoeksema rounded out the Lady Falcons top four with scores of 176 and 188 respectively.
Saint Leo won the women's title, firing a 609, 11 shots better than the second place squad. The Lady Falcons shot a 659 on the par 72 course and had 11 birdies, led by four from Stefania Valgeirsdottir.
The golf teams are back in action on Monday, Oct. 14 but head to different tournaments. The men will compete in the State Farm Collegiate Invitational at Tazewell, TN, while the women stay local and compete in the Patsy Rendlemen Invitational in Salisbury.

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
I think your mixing them up with PETA. They have a very high kill rate, something like 98%
Yes, I have stopped anything to do with the RSPCA in UK because of these reasons, I now support local and volunteer organisations and no kill shelters like the Dogs trust.
how sad I would like to thank all the people that saved these poor dogs!
The bad thing is ASPCA will not let me have more than 4 dogs in residential home even though my home is large enough and have several rooms dedicated to dogs. Get secure yard and more. So I have adopt from recue centers who don't care how many dogs I have as long as they are all well taken care of. I have six dogs and room for one more but ASPCA I fear might want me to get rid of some of my dogs. Not happening. I would sell my home first. They need to change the rules for residential based on the ability of the home owner.
I heard the town or area you live in matters how many dogs you can have. Also the nuisance of barking they might create too. I have five and I train them the best to control barking at night mostly, but daytime they can go have fun. They are not crazy barkers and even daytime barking can both the neighbors too.So no one would even guess that I have five they are so quiet. Shelter adoptions do no question mostly but you do have to have all your dogs come meet the new dog at the shelter before the adoption is approved. Remember, you don't want to become a hoarder either and be able to provide more than food and water. For every dog added there is more strained attention time for all the other dogs. Love can be spread, but dogs will be begging for your attention, too many dogs and hard to be there for all of them. You only have one lap to share too.I make sure none of my dogs feels less loved than the others, but still they do crave YOUR undivided attention instead of shared attention.
Many rescue groups are looking for good homes. ASPCA, Hope for Paws (check out the videos), your local shelter, Humane Society. Mill Dog Rescue (check out their videos). The list goes on and on! Please take a look at these groups on the internet and I am sure that you can make an animals dream of a forever home come true! Keep us posted.
In Colorado there is everycreaturecounts.org, they could help with this also, or google puppy mill rescue dogs for adoption and add your state !
Debra, it's amazingly easy. Most townships and cities have at least one or two shelters. Just look one up, visit, and fall in love with a cute dog or puppy! When you adopt from a shelter, you're helping the shelter and saving a life.
Search on the adoption link thru ASPCA website. Don,t take locale too seriously my last came up from down south. He was heartworm positive and his foster mom in upstate NY who picked him up finished the treatment for me so bringing him into our home was perfect. there's many angels out there saving and rehabilitating animals for a fit in a forever home.

Here you can find all of DxOMark's measurement publishing announcements, along with a selection of reviews, print and blog articles from the photo press and communities that talk about DxOMark or reference DxOMark results.
Committed to retaining its sales lead in numerous countries, Canon views its new EOS 650D as a strategically important product. What improvements can we see with respect to its sensor, which Canon claims is new? How does this latest camera in the EOS line compare with its predecessor, the EOS 600D, and with its rivals, the Nikon D3200 and the Sony SLT-A65? The answers lie in our sensor test results for the 650D.
Panasonic has added a new member to its highly esteemed Lumix G-line. The 16-megapixel Lumix DMC G5 adopts the Japanese brand's mirrorless and Micro Four Thirds technology, and it replaces the one-year-old G3. But did Panasonic's renovation of features and design for the G5 extend to the camera's image quality? DxOMark has some answers.
The NEX-F3 is one of three Sony mirrorless camera models released in 2012, and it's the company's eighth since the launch of the NEX line in 2010. The NEX-F3 borrows heavily from higher-end models, but also taps much of the technology found in its predecessor. So is there any big evolution in sensor quality for the NEX-F3? Or were most of the changes to the camera cosmetic? DxOMark has some answers.
World-leading photography website dpreview.com today announces that it is adopting DxOMark technology for its reviews, with the first lens reviews using DxOMark measurements to be available in the coming days. This partnership confirms DxOMark's unique position as an independent camera and lens testing laboratory for leading photography press publications and websites.
Olympus caused a sensation when it revived the legendary OM line that had enjoyed its heyday in the silver halide era. The Olympus OM-D E-M5 successfully revisits the OM design in terms of its ergonomics and workmanship. Olympus has quite precisely taken advantage of this new family in its line of compact hybrid micro 4:3 cameras to introduce a new 16 Mpix Live MOS sensor. What is this new sensor all about? Does it represent an improvement over current Pen sensors? Does it help the micro 4:3 category to catch up with the APS-C hybrids (with the Sony NEX in the lead)? Our sensor review provides the answers.
Nikon's recently released consumer-oriented full-frame sensor DSLR, the D600, has just gone through DxOMark's image quality evaluation tests. And the verdict is in: the D600 is an affordable camera that places a high premium on image quality, as it ranks just behind the top performing Nikon D800 and Nikon D800E. It is also a significant improvement over the high-end professional flagship DSLRs, the Nikon D3X and the Nikon D4. Here are the DxOMark test results for the D600.
Canon updates the high-end two-year-old PowerShot G12 with the PowerShot G15. The latest addition to the PowerShot G-series slims down in size, but increases in performance: including faster and brighter optics and higher Full HD video resolution. Check out the highlights of the PowerShot G15 in DxOMark's preview.
Much like the K-5 from whom it borrowed all the technical essentials, the Pentax K-30 comes equipped with a 16-Mpix APS-C CMOS-technology sensor that one assumes is of Sony origin. (This is the same sensor used in the Nikon D7000 and D5100 as well as in the Sony NEX-5R / NEX-5N and SLT-A57.)
The compactness, flexibility for interchange lenses, and touchscreen focus and interface makes Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GF5 an attractive companion for amateur photographers who want the usability of a point-and-shoot, but the versatility of a DSLR. But with a number of similar hybrid cameras entering the market, is the GF5 right for you?

The enthusiast compact sector has undergone a distinct revival in recent years, with every major manufacturer now producing a model or two that offers full manual control and RAW format recording, aimed as a second camera for enthusiasts who usually carry an SLR. These cameras have generally fallen into two distinct camps - those featuring either fast lenses or long zooms with lots of external controls, and smaller-bodied 'shirt pocket' cameras. The latter category was more-or-less owned by Canon for several years with its S-series compacts such as the Powershot S100, but has recently been shaken-up by the arrival of the Sony Cyber-Shot RX-100 with its relatively large 1"-type sensor. Now it welcomes a new contender - the Fujifilm XF1.

In May this year Panasonic announced the first premium, constant maximum aperture zoom for a mirrorless system, the Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm ASPH Power OIS. Now, after months of teasing and showing of prototype models at trade shows and press events, it's come out with a telephoto companion, the Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm F2.8 OIS. Clearly both lenses are designed to complement the company's new flagship camera, the Lumix DMC-GH3, and feature a matching dust- and splash-proof design.

The Pentax smc DA Star 55mm f/1.4 SDM is a prime standard lens that allows users to dream up pictures with incredible artistic aesthetics thanks largely to its medium focal length and extra wide aperture of f/1.4. The latter also gives it a leg up in dark conditions. But how does the lens compare to similar Pentax lenses, or similar pieces of glass made by its rivals?
Affordable. Light. Compact. And a classic. The two-decade-old Canon EF 100mm f/2 USM is a popular lens known for producing high quality images. Its wide aperture and medium focal length make this Canon product ideal for newbie photographers looking to enhance their portfolio with a portrait lens.
Are you a Canon or Nikon photographer looking for a versatile prime standard lens? The Tokina's AT-X M35 PRO DX AF 35mm f/2.8 Macro might be the lens for you. It gives users myriad shooting options: you can take portraits, photograph detail oriented macro pictures, or snap landscape images. DxOMark takes a look at how the lens performs on select Canon and Nikon cameras, and how it stacks up against rivals.
Sony's latest expert compact camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX100, incorporates a 1-inch sensor that is larger than the 1/1.7" and 2/3" sensors of its competitors. Sony has already surprised us over the past few years with its highly efficient CMOS sensors. Will this be the case for the RX100? Our DxOMark tests reveal the answer.

The Alpha NEX-F3 ($599) is Sony's entry-level mirrorless interchangeable lens camera. It's the replacement to the NEX-C3, with the most significant change being a new 3-inch LCD that can flip upward 180 degrees and face your subject. In addition, the F3 now sports a built-in flash, so you'll no longer need to carry around an external one. It also has a wider ISO range, an improved movie mode, and a new Superior Auto mode.

The Samsung NX210 is, apart from the addition of a Wi-Fi mode, as good as identical to its predecessor Samsung NX200. In this article we have therefore concentrated on the new features of the camera but also included our usual studio test scene. However, to get the full set of test data and information that you expect from a dpreview review please also read our Samsung NX200 review from earlier this year in addition to this article.

After an intense year spent testing digital cameras — taking one photo every 10 seconds! — the DxOMark teams are working even more, despite the shining sun, to offer you new features. DxOMark will return in September with even better ways to help users compare products, along with new sensor and lens reviews of all the latest and greatest camera gear. In the meantime, DxOMark asks all its loyal button pushers to keep their camera shutters clicking!
Canon's 18-megapixel EOS M is sure to turn heads, as it combines some of Canon's famous DSLR and video technology and stuffs it into a point-and-shoot like camera body. Here's the scoop on Canon's first mirrorless model and some of its accessories.
The Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L USM is the ultimate wide-angle lens. It allows photographers to take pictures with unusual angles and in tight spaces. But the lens was tripped up in DxOMark testing in one important category.
Samyang's 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC for Canon would make a quality lens for photographers who have a knack for manually focusing their images. The lens excludes an autofocus system, which helps bring down its price by hundreds of dollars.
Pentax's smc DA 35mm f/2.8 Macro Limited is a versatile lens that allows photographers to capture detail shots, portraits, and medium-sized candid pictures. How does this prime lens stackup compared to similar lenses made by Pentax and other similar lenses?
The Nikon D4 is a cheetah reincarnated into a camera body, capable of shooting a speedy 9 to 11 frames per second. But what kind of lenses would make the best companions for this high octane camera? DxOMark has some recommendations.
Bridge cameras often suffer from so-so image quality and cheap finishing touches. How does this premium bridge from Fuji compare to such expert compact cameras as the Canon Powershot S100 or G12? Does it use the same sensor as the Fujifilm X10? What differences in performance can we expect when pitting it against an APS-C hybrid? Here are the DxOMark.com test results for the Fujifilm FinePix X-S1.
The Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM would make a great companion for wildlife photographers – it is Canon's longest lens in its macro category. And as an added selling point, the lens performed above average in four out five DxOMark evaluation categories.
The Tamron SP AF 180mm f/3.5 Di LD (IF) Macro 1:1 Canon would make an ideal lens companion for nature and wildlife photographers who are on a budget. Affordable and lightweight, the lens excels in many of DxOMark's image quality tests, but it is also tripped up in one important category.

MarieClaire.com recently asked a few of us lady comedians to answer the question "What Makes a Man"?
…and it came out somethin' hilarious ;)
It's a cool lil slide show of different "manly" film/TV characters, with our definitions of men beside each pic. I was STOKED that mine were matched with literally my top celeb crushes, Spock/Zach Quinto and Chuck Bass/Ed Westwick (and Walker, Texas Ranger/Chuck Norris)!
Here's one of my blurbs:
That's just one!!! So check out the piece!
I think we did women everywhere proud – we being "some of the funniest women in the country": myself, Carolyn Castiglia, Sara Benincasa, Jamie Lee, Chelsea White and Alison Rosen. We also commentated it up on a previous MC piece, A Girl's Guide to the Late Night Fight.
Not all my material was used, so here are a few of the rejects that did not make the cut:
Reject #1 – A man owns lotion, but does not care to use it unless his skin is cracking on top like an oatmeal cookie.
Reject # 2 – A man can tell the difference between the "Family Guy", "American Dad", and "The Cleveland Show"
Reject # 3 – A man never orders anything with the word "Chai" in it.
Reject #4 – A man is someone who, as an individual, should never purchase a Bichon Frise.
Reject # 5 – A man is someone who does not realize how awesome shoes are.
