The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Beginning with an old song as distant from our lives as it is embedded in our prepubescent psyches, Roche ends with an infantile term of endearment that suggests that what we call our lovers is as important as anything else. Between the two, a tone of wonder pervades the album, a wonder stretched beyond merely a sense of childhood recalled. It marks something more: a re-enchantment with the world, as simple as finding the beauty in "Yankee Doodle."

Enforce political ad rules, Pimentel urges Comelec
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) should strictly enforce political advertisement rules to ensure that rich politicians can't have an unfair advantage over the others, Senator Aquilino Pimentel III said Wednesday.
In a statement, he said that the rules on political ads were being misinterpreted by candidates to give them more media exposure.
"Of course, those who have more money can afford to have more advertisements and exposure on television and radios, while candidates who have less money cannot afford the high prices of advertisements," Pimentel said.
Under the Fair Election Practices Act or Republic Act 9006, national candidates are limited to 120 minutes of television airtime and 180 minutes for radio advertisements while local candidates are limited to 60 minutes for television and 90 minutes for radio, he said.
Pimentel clarified that the provisions should mean "total media time" of all advertisements in all media outlets but the candidates interpret it as total time allowed for each media outlet.
Rich candidates are taking advantage of their interpretation of the rules to get more than the allowed media time for advertisements, Pimentel said.
Comelec should issue a resolution that would properly interpret the provisions of the law in order to create a level playing field for all candidates regardless of financial capability, he said.

29 of 30 - Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up - Billy Crone - Ministry Videos
Embed bcrone1 1497 views 2010-10-02T01:06:56 Hear ye, hear ye! Read all about it! Millions of people right now are suffering from traumatic brain injury and dont even know it. A new epidemic is sweeping the nation thats causing untold numbers to completely forget who they are. So just who are these people? Believe it or not, its the American Church. Why? Because we say we know who we are as the Church, but half the time with our lips and lives, we're acting like weve forgotten who we are. We're suffering from practical amnesia. And this is not only detrimental in our walk with Christ. It keeps others from believing in Christ. Therefore, this series, Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up? seeks to remind Christians of their God-given identity in Christ. We are the Body of Christ, a Body of Brides, a Body of One, a Body of Hope, a Body of Joy, a Body of Love, a Body of Peace, a Body of Strangers, a Body of Disciples, a Body of Servants, a Body of Rebels, a Body of Worshippers, a Body of Warriors, a Body of Witnesses, and a Body of Winners. People the facts are this. If our country is ever going to survive the evil days that lie ahead, we've got to understand that we dont need revival in America, we need revival in the American Church! Therefore, Will the REAL Church Please Stand Up? before its too late!

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Ed BrockThere are many reasons why the Rev. Lanny Loe and the First Baptist Church of Jonesboro feel a connection to Romania. Primarily, there is the revolution against the former communist government there in 1989. "Romania is the only country that defeated communism with the shedding of blood," said Loe, who is senior executive assistant pastor at First Baptist of Jonesboro. "It began with a group of Baptists protesting the moving of (a pastor of the Hungarian Reformed Church.) The birth place of the Revolution was there in Timisoara (Romania.)" Loe's continuing work with First Baptist Jonesboro's missionary projects are one reason why he has been named the 2003 International Ambassador of the Year by the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce International Promotions Council. At a luncheon Monday on the Clayton College & State University campus Loe received a plaque, making him the first person to win the award under its new name. Previously it was the International Business Person of the Year award. Southern Regional Medical was named International Employer of the Year and Army & Air Force Exchange Services based in Fort Gillem in Forest Park was named International Transportation Business of the Year. Shortly after finishing the seminary in 1982 Loe and his wife Isabel went to the Uintah-ouray American Indian Reservation in Utah. "That was our first real activity in working cross-culturally," Loe said. After coming to First Baptist Jonesboro in 2001, Loe has ministered in more than a dozen countries and has helped send 500 people overseas to various countries to assist in projects such as church planting and music/cultural exchange programs. The church itself holds full Sunday services in Hindi, Khamir, Vietnamese, Laotian, Thai and Spanish and ministers to 30 different ethnic groups. It has sister churches in Serbia, Romania, Peru, Liberia and Central Asia. Loe went to Timisoara in Timis County in 2002 where he was knighted by the president of that county. The sister-church relationship that Loe helped foster with a church in Timis County eventually led to the creation of a sister-county relationship between Timis and Clayton counties. Last year Loe helped receive a visiting delegation from Timis and on Nov. 10 he will join a group from the chamber when that group arrives in Romania after traveling through Czechoslovakia and Hungary. Loe is just the kind of person the council wanted to include when changing the name of the award, Chamber President and CEO Shane Moody said. "The council felt that they didn't want to necessarily honor a person in international business but rather anybody who promotes international business," Moody said. John D. Hursh accepted the award for SRMC in recognition of the hospital's service to the international community in Clayton County. About 40 percent of the SRMC's 604 member medical staff are of an ethnicity other than Caucasian or African American and 10 percent of their in-patients and 20 percent of their out-patients are from the international community. AAFES Senior Logistics Operations Manager Gary Eckhardt accepted his organization's award for their work in providing food and supplies to 12,000 facilities worldwide during military operations such as "Enduring Freedom." Most of the internationally owned companies in Clayton County are scattered around Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport, said Clayton County Director of Economic Development Emory Brock. Some major foreign-owned companies in the county include European-owned Bosse Concrete in Jonesboro and Japanese-owned Toto Toilets in Morrow. W. Glenn Cornell, Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Industry, Trade & Tourism, gave the keynote address at the luncheon. "Perhaps the biggest single reason why companies continue to come and will continue to come (to Georgia), especially international companies from around the world, is the market," Cornell said. Those companies can chose to go to other areas of the country where the market is declining, Cornell said, or they can come to Georgia where the market is growing. "It's a pretty easy conclusion," Cornell said. Atlanta Custom Brokers also sponsored the luncheon.

text: Well, just as I was in first place for a good while in tonights race, my Titan just gave up on me. It was a good motor, but now I need something newer and faster, only thing is, money is kinda tight right now. Should I find a cheap brushless system or just hold off. I have a trinity motor in the slash for now. Dont think its as fast as a titan but it may have to do. Anything under a hundred bucks I could probably do without too much pain, so I guess thats my budget. I was hoping to get a VXL but I think I have to wait until my wife goes back to work for that. Any suggestions?

"Welcome to cheapskate's HomePage" cheapskate's Profile
From my fabulous Feb trip to Bali!!

Where to next?!
Feb 08 - Indonesia, Bali
May 08 - Hong Kong

No plans for the next destination, although i would really like to visit a beach resort in Da Nang. Any cheap and good recommendations?
Actually I'd appreciate any cheap and good recommendations for destinations too! Bear in mind that it has to be cheap if I am leaving from Singapore. :)
I shopped so much during my Dec'07 trip to Taipei and HK that I just put everything out and photographed it.. Terrible isn't it?
I love travelling and very often, travelling comes shopping...
Shopping and eating is a huge part of the HK culture and I love going there for a cultural exchange ;)
I loved the sunset here..
Probably one of the most crowded and touristy place in Bali but you can't deny its beauty :)
Isn't it gorgeous?!
I love to watch Lion and Dragon dances during the chinese new year. Last year i only managed to watch one in my estate.. but i totally enjoyed myself.. coz it was a 2 in 1 performance and more elaborate than usual too... dong chiang dong chiang!
This year.. i didn't see any...
stuck in my little world!
pretty... pink... sugar & spice and everything nice!
I went to Madrid Dec 2003.. i love the place and her people who have such a great outlook for life..
Have i told you how much i loooove Spain? Oh yes i do.. i really really do.. hehe..
I took a short trip with my parents to Siem Reap to finally visit the magnificent Angkor Wat. This trip was done via Bangkok.
It was a tiring trip but an experience of a lifetime.. I'll do it all over again.. anytime!
I've fallen in love with the Angkor Complex and i can't wait till the next time when i can visit it again to thoroughly immerse myself in its splendour.

The work will be completed without affecting pedestrian movement
The highways department will soon begin work to refurbish the pedestrian subway near the Head Post Office on Anna Salai
Once completed, the subway will have toughened glass arches and granite slabs on the sides. The steps too will get new non-slippery tiles. The Rs. 40-lakh work taken up under the Comprehensive Road Infrastructure Development Programme will take a month to be completed.
"We are trying to provide a uniform look to all subways. The facility near the Simpsons' signal was the first to be refurbished. The subway at the Head Post Office is over 30 years old, and though from time to time maintenance works have been carried out, no major alteration has been put in place," said a source in the department.
Pedestrian movement will not be affected during the time the works are carried out and the tiles would be pasted at night, the source said.
D. Ravikumar, who works on Anna Salai and uses the subway on a regular basis, said the cleanliness inside, compared to the state a few years ago, had definitely improved. "The hawkers, who used to spread their goods inside, have been moved outside and the lighting too has been improved. It is also quite clean. If the traffic police prevent pedestrians from crossing the road and direct them to the subway, more people would use it, making it safer," he said.
The city has a total of 17 subways, of which 11 are located on Anna Salai and Grand Southern Trunk Road. Poonamallee High Road and Kamaraj Salai have two each and Walltax Road and Rajaji Salai, one each.
The first subways in the city were constructed in 1973-1974 and these came up opposite the Chennai Central station, Park station and on Anna Salai beneath the Anna Statue. The subways were constructed as part of the Integrated Urban Development Plan I and II.

Ohio To Limit Solitary Confinement For Juveniles
Tuesday, May 27, 2014
Ohio is now one of a handful of states to restrict the use of solitary confinement for juveniles.
The move stems from a Justice Department investigation that found Ohio's youth prisons frequently use long-term solitary confinement, especially for prisoners with mental illness.
The new changes will apply to all children in Ohio's prison system.

Garrett Strange's goal with 22:26 left in the first half gave the Gremlins a 1-0 lead. Cody Berg scored off an assist by Juan Barajas with 19:28 remaining before halftime.
"I was very pleased with my team's performance in the first half," La Monte coach Drew Burris said of his team that fell to 6-5 overall and 4-1 in league play. "It was a back-and-forth game, just going nonstop."

The Idukki Lok Sabha constituency is set for a close contest this time with political undercurrents likely to play a major role in deciding the fate of the rival candidates, especially in the high ranges that witnessed a spate of agitations against the reports on conservation of the Western Ghats.
The main candidates are Dean Kuriakose of the Congress and Joice George fielded by the High-range Protection Council, but later adopted by the Left Democratic Front (LDF) as its candidate. The constituency comprising seven Assembly segments is topographically divided between the low ranges and the high ranges, and the two have conflicting positions on the Madhav Gadgil and the K. Kasturirangan reports on the Ghats. How the community equations would play out in the constituency is also being keenly watched. The influence of the Church on the voters' choice is a factor to be considered in the constituency, seen as a stronghold of the United Democratic Front (UDF). The Lok Sabha constituency consists of the Kothamangalam and Muvattupuzha Assembly segments in Ernakulam district and Thodupuzha, Devikulam, Idukki, Udumbanchola, and Peerumade in Idukki district. In the high-range belt, Tamil voters have a considerable say, and it is their affiliation with the political parties of Tamil Nadu that decides their voting preferences here. However, in the estate areas, the influence of the trade unions is a major factor to be reckoned with. In the 2011 Assembly elections, the LDF had won the Peerumade, Udumbanchola, and Devikulam segments and while the UDF was victorious in the Idukki, Thodupuzha, Kothamangalam, and Muvattupuzha segments.KC merger
Following the merger of the Kerala Congress(J) led by P.J. Joseph with the Kerala Congress(M), the UDF was able to make some inroads into the LDF pockets in the last Assembly elections. In the last Lok Sabha elections, P.T. Thomas of the Congress had a recorded thumping majority of 74,796 votes against Francis George, a leader of the Kerala Congress(J) which was then in the LDF fold. Mr. George was the incumbent MP when Mr. Thomas was fielded against him. But for a few LDF wins in parliamentary elections, the constituency has stood by the UDF. Unlike the previous elections, this time the election is being fought with a changed community affiliation, as the Idukki bishop has openly called for a vote against the Congress. He has been critical of the party for its stance on the Western Ghats reports. However, how this translates at the grassroots will be known only when the results are out, as it is difficult to change traditional voting patterns.
The division in the High-range Protection Council, following LDF decision to field Mr. Joice George as its candidate, had become evident when a meeting of the Council was held. Several Kerala Congress(M) and Congress leaders, who were active in the Council's activities, were absent from the meeting. These political undercurrents may influence the voters.
Non-traditional voters and new voters, numbering 76,000, would also be a major factor in deciding the poll outcome.Kasturirangan report
In the initial campaigning, both the fronts have made the Kasturirangan report their poll plank.
The UDF claims that it is its timely intervention of the State government that had resulted in the release of the draft notification seeking to exempt more areas from the category of Ecologically Sensitive Areas (ESAs) demarcated by the report, and there is no need for concern over the issue.
The LDF and the high-range council allege that it is the policy of the Union and the State governments that resulted in the publication of the Kasturirangan report, which would "adversely hit the farmers."
Issues that affect the public such as price rise and economic sluggishness have been conspicuous by their absence, while the farmers' issue has dominated the political discourse.

A new U.S. Senate poll released today by the Humphrey Institute and Minnesota Public Radio finds Norm Coleman and Al Franken virtually deadlocked in the Gopher State's U.S. Senate race.
While Franken's statistically insignificant 41 to 40 percent lead in the poll comes as a bit of a surprise – Franken had only been measured with a lead in 1 of the previous 17 public polls dating back to February 2008 – what should not come as a surprise to either campaign is the 8 percent support currently amassed by former Senator and likely Independence Party primary winner Dean Barkley.
The Coleman-Franken battle has been one of the most expensive and brutal U.S. Senate races in recent years nationwide. In a state where 'Minnesota nice' still has some meaning, it is only natural that some voters who are disgusted with the Coleman and Franken attacks, and the hate-filled diatribes ideologues have littered across the blogs, will gravitate to a third party – especially in a state that is not shy about supporting third parties.
The Independence Party and Barkley backers will insist they are not 'stealing' votes from anyone, especially Franken. In a democracy, this is, of course, technically true – no vote is 'owned' by any candidate or political party. IP supporters will thus likely tout Barkley's demeanor and credentials (as well as the Gopher State's independent streak) for any support he receives.
This may have been true once upon a time, when Independent Party candidates were more closely aligned with the GOP or had a reputation for being 'true independents.' In fact, a recent study by Smart Politics of state House races found the DFL to be the beneficiary of IP candidates getting on the ballot.
But recent statewide campaigns by 2006 Gubernatorial IP nominee Peter Hutchinson and Barkley in 2008 reveal the Independence Party's policy positions on many issues to be near carbon-copies of the DFL. As a result, in the 2008 U.S. Senate race, the HHH/MPR study finds Barkley is:
'Äú'ĶCompeting with Franken for the angry voter who disapproves of Bush and sees the country as off on the wrong track. Franken is only winning 51% of Minnesotans who are concerned that the country is off-track and Barkley is a major reason that the Democrat is not getting even more disaffected Minnesotans -- he is drawing 9% of these voters. A similar story is evident with regard to Minnesotans who disapprove of Coleman and Bush: Barkley is diverting 9% of these critics -- voters that might otherwise support Franken.'Ä?
A look at Barkley's issue positions reveals, in fact, a significant overlap with modern Democratic Party values:
¬∑ On gay rights: 'ÄúIt'Äôs long past time to acknowledge that the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution applies to all Americans, regardless of their sexual preference.'Ä?
¬∑ On the War on Drugs: 'ÄúAmerica'Äôs vaunted 'Äúwar on drugs'Ä? has been a costly and miserable failure. 'Ķ All we have succeeded in doing is to create a huge criminal enterprise that thrives on supplying outlawed drugs, and a huge criminal population for essentially nonviolent crimes.'Ä?
¬∑ On the War in Iraq: 'ÄúIt'Äôs now incontrovertible that our own government misled us into starting a war with Iraq. It'Äôs also now incontrovertible that this was a huge mistake. Didn'Äôt we learn anything from Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin?'Ä?
¬∑ On gas prices: 'ÄúWe must cut our oil imports and begin using clean energy alternatives such as biofuels, hydrogen cells, solar power, wind power and geothermal power as a substitute for oil.'Ä?
Admittedly, Barkley does pepper his campaign platform with a few examples of that libertarian streak (beyond the overlap with the war on drugs position above) that once helped to define the Independence Party:
¬∑ On the drinking age: 'Äú18-year-old citizens of the United States should be given all legal rights of adulthood. If they can vote, join the military, and fight our wars, they certainly have earned the right to legally have a beer.'Ä?
¬∑ On the 2nd Amendment: 'ÄúI believe that the second amendment to our Constitution is as important as any of the others. I believe that all law abiding citizens have the right to own and bear arms.'Ä?
But it is evident from the HHH/MPR poll that Franken and Barkley are largely going to fight over the same slice of the electoral pie: liberals and disgruntled moderates. In an election for which the Republican incumbent does not have a track record of being unpopular statewide (Coleman's job approval numbers have outweighed his disapproval numbers in 41 of 42 public polls since 2003), Barkley's presence in the U.S. Senate race was probably at the bottom of the Franken campaign 'wish list' this year.

Delta Air Lines has nearly completed installing Gogo inflight internet service on its eight A319s that are generally used for charter flights.
The installation of the service comes as the aircraft are re-configured into a Delta mainline configuration, with 12 first class and 114 economy seats, according to a Delta spokesperson.
For eight months of the year, the eight A319s are configured in a special 54-seat configuration for National Basketball Association (NBA) charter flights. During the rest of the year, the aircraft are configured for normal mainline service.
Delta inherited the practice from its merger partner Northwest Airlines after the two carriers merged in 2008.
The Atlanta-based carrier reported on its official blog that seven aircraft have been fitted with the Gogo system, and that installations are slated to be completed "by the end of June".
The spokesperson for the carrier told ATI that Delta is still deciding on how it will manage Wi-Fi on the A319s when they return to the charter configuration.

Title: IP Version 6
Duration: 1 Week
Venue: Nairobi
TARGET AUDIENCE:This course is aimed at the IT and Telecommunications professionals and managers who are charged with implementing IPv6 or who wish to keep up with the evolving next generation networks. PRE-REQUISITE: The participants should have good knowledge of TCP/IP version 4, networking principles and configuration of routing protocols. DESCRIPTION:
IPv6, or Internet Protocol Version 6, is the "Next Generation" protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to replace IPv4, the version that has been in use for nearly two decades. With the pervasive IP enable smart phones and other appliances the IPv4 addresses are getting exhausted at an alarming rate.
IPv6 overcomes some of the limitations of IPv4, such as the limited address space, while introducing a number of enhancements in areas such as routing, network device autoconfiguration, mobility, security and quality of service. With the momentum for migration to IPv6 growing worldwide, it has become an important area of study for all involved in internetworking.This course deals with all of the key issues of implementing and configuring IPv6 networks.

A new website asks members to sign up for frequent STD testing and lets them share their results with other members confidentially.

Very nice, clean Hotel with free breakfast. Close to restaurants and freeway for easy access. Nice layout of building. Overall good experience and will visit this hotel again in the future!
The water pipes made a large amount of noise while using the shower. One of the elavators stopped working after we arrived and there was a large event/function going on in the conference center that brought many people there. The pool area was overcrowded often so a larger area or an adults only time frame should possibly be implemented. The breakfast area easily got overcrowded for this size of Hotel.
Cost effective, clean room. Excellent breakfast. Easy booking, check in and check out.
Our room was right across from housekeeping, could hear them talking and laughing early in the morning
The hotel is clean well maintained. The room and bed were very comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good and included a healthy variety. The coffee was very good. Easy to find.
Truck noise was a bit of an distraction early in the evening with semi tractors "Jake breaking" on the highway. But I will definitely stay again if I can get a room facing away from the highway.
Location as it was in area that I was looking for.
We had to wait 1 hour for the internet to work as the clerk just couldn't seem to find the time to turn it on. Also the floor above us squeaked so loud that it woke us at 6:30 in the morning.
You had to go To the front desk to get a key card for the pool, no towels on pool room, you yet again had to Go to the front desk.. No blow dryer in room... You yet again had to go to the front desk.. And the front desk person did not like their job
Tiny bathroom, no do not disturb tag
Comfortable beds and cleanliness
Great location and staff was very nice
No shampoo or cream rinseNo blow dryer
Wow , it's all new
Friendliness, clean sheets, clean bathroom. Close to main attractions and Starbucks
Breakfast ends early, parking lot is tight.
The cleanliness of the hotel was great! For an older, low end Motel, it was in great shape, better than most Motel 6's I've stayed at. I would recomend this to anyone seeking a cheap and nice place to stay. Well worth the money.
Very nice place, cheap and exactly what we needed. Close to the dells and much cheaper than anything else. Super happy.

Loose lips get stars in hot water
The social media have become so extensive and pervasive in their influence and impact on how we relate to each other, that even show biz stars are feeling the pinch—and punch!
Any small remark they make off-the-cuff in public or even in private is recorded and speedily transmitted to many other people's eyes and ears, to hound them for weeks especially if they're snapped up by big TV magazine shows, which are now relying more and more on viewers' "reports," aside from the inputs of their own stringers.
Lying in wait
This new and much more intrusive reality requires stars to be on their best behavior all the time, not just when the official media are watching—or eavesdropping!
Who's to tell if that faceless neighbor or passerby isn't in fact an avid social media hound who's ever-ready to record and transmit a star's spontaneous outburst or accidental wardrobe malfunction, for all the world to gawk at and criticize?
To make things worse, big-time or colorum paparazzi lie in wait behind bushes and even at a seemingly uninhabited window across the street from a star's residence or hotel room, ready to shoot the very second the star decides to do something romantically spontaneous with his current partner of choice!
Worst of all, even when the star has made doubly sure that no microphone is within eavesdropping distance of his ultra-discreet person, TV networks now hire lip-readers and even body-language interpreters to divine even what has been left scrupulously unsaid!
That's it, stars know when they're licked, so the word's out: (Absolutely) mum's the word.
The latest celebrity to get into hot water due to his unintentionally loose lips is "The Voice" juror Adam Levine, who recently exclaimed on the show when one of his bets was eliminated from the singing tilt, "I hate this country!"
He didn't even shout the complaint—in fact, he merely muttered it under his breath—but, loudly enough for his microphone to pick it up and instantly transmit it worldwide!
It was one of those spontaneous outbursts that, the second the words leave the speaker's lips, he attempts to grab them back in mid-air, and stuff them back into his mouth again.
But, of course, it was too late for Levine, the deed had been done, the words had been said, and he probably knew that he would get a lot of flak for it!
Well, all the "haters" out there certainly didn't disappoint him. Instead of being more understanding (who hasn't thoughtlessly lost his temper in public, anyway?), they really let him have it, saying that if he didn't like how things were done in the United States, he should probably just leave the country.
Levine did try to do some damage control, but the haters were unmoved for a couple of days—until they found another and hotter stellar sinner to excoriate, (there's one born every day) and all was well with his world again.
Aside from Levine, other stars can learn a valuable lesson from his saddening and maddening encounter with the now pervasive powers of the social media:
They have to live public and private lives of absolute perfection! But since that simply can't be done, they have to be quick with the abject apology before the teapot tempest turns into a howling super-cyclone.

Some Republicans soften tough talk on unions
As in Wisconsin, the clash has drawn hundreds of protesters to the Indiana Statehouse and led most House Democrats to leave the state to shut down legislative business on the union bill and a slate of other issues. Daniels has appealed to the lawmakers to return because "their conscience tells them they should do their duty."
Republican Senate leaders in Ohio agreed to modify a bill that would have banned all collective bargaining by state employees. The GOP change - albeit minor - would allow workers to negotiate on wages but still would ban strikes.
Ohio Republican Senate President Tom Niehaus denied the protests had any effect, saying the decision came after listening to hours of testimony. Democratic leaders consider the change "window dressing" and still want the bill scrapped.
It was still unclear Thursday whether leaders in the Republican-led Ohio Senate would be able to muster the GOP support needed to pass the bill in its current form.
Meanwhile, governors in Michigan and Florida appear to be taking a more conciliatory approach to unions, hoping to avoid the full-fledged brawl in Wisconsin.
"That's not our path," said Michigan's Rick Snyder, who won election on a pro-business agenda. He said he wants cost savings, too, but "I and my administration fully intend to work with our employees and union partners in a collective fashion."
Likewise, Florida Gov. Rick Scott told a Tallahassee radio station, "As long as people know what they're doing, you know, collective bargaining's fine, but be honest with people, be honest with taxpayers. If you're going to give these benefits to people, whether it's pension benefits or health care benefits, let's all be honest about it."
Nelson Lichtenstein, director of the Center for the Study of Work, Labor and Democracy at the University of California, Santa Barbara, said the scope of the Wisconsin demonstrations seems to have caught Republicans by surprise.
"These guys in other states are equally conservative, but they don't want to create an unnecessary conflict which may prove politically embarrassing," Lichtenstein said.
But the polite talk doesn't mean Republican governors are backing down from other measures that could weaken union clout. Public employees in Florida, for example, are a focus of the Republican-controlled Legislature through proposals that would direct new hires to a defined contribution retirement plan, reduce health benefits and prohibit union dues deductions from paychecks.
In Tennessee, Republicans in the state Senate are moving forward on a bill to strip teachers of collective bargaining rights.
And union protests haven't deterred Republican lawmakers in Missouri from advancing a "right to work" bill that bars union membership or fees from being a condition of employment. Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Rob Mayer told The Associated Press that he intends to bring the legislation up for debate next week and is prepared for a lengthy Senate discussion.
"I'm aware that (protests) could take place and happen, but it will in no way keep me from moving forward with trying to implement the law," said Mayer.

Seminar Programme
Above: Alberto Alessi – Designing for the line
This year our seminar programme brought some of the industry's best creative and critical minds together on current and future hot issues facing design. Curated by the leader in the field, Aidan Walker, this year's themes explored Crossover and Collaboration.
"As the world changes, so does the practice of design and the key issues that face it. Boundaries between disciplines are blurring; old fashioned models of intellectual property are under pressure in the digital age; and the intense search for authenticity is leading us to new understanding of craft, design and the relationship between the two, especially in emerging economies."
– Aidan Walker

We arrived late at night and had a beautiful drive to the camp with the moon reflecting off the lake. It was such a gorgeous July night, that we would not be disappointed by the rustic cabins.

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio-Danny Smith celebrated his 40th year in racing with a win in the Pine Tree Towing 410 Sprint cars, and R.J. Conley found victory lane in the Gullion Ent.
Initially, in the Late Model feature, family patriarch Delmas Conley rode a close second, but R.J. proved to be the cream of the crop. Still in second, Delmas had lapped nearly as many cars as the leader, but was involved in a turn three crash with Lauren Longbrake. Chris Garnes, the defending AMRA Champion, running a strong third suffered the same fate a lap later after nearly flipping off turn two before regaining control.
While Conley's lead had appeared insurmountable, the late race cautions changed the complexion of the event. Conley had to hold off the charges of Greggie Oliver over the last three laps to bring home the win. Behind R.J. Conley and completing the top ten were Greg Oliver, Hot Rod Conley, Jason Montgomery, Kevin Wagner, Nick Bocook, Nick Latham, J.T. Conley, Delmas Conley, and Chris Garnes.
Ryan Broughton got the jump on heat winner and fast-timer Trey Gustin in the 410 Sprint Car main. Broughton led the first five laps. Smith took over on the 6th circuit and led to lap 17 while another great battle developed among the chargers of Broughton, Jimmy Stinson, Josh Davis and Mark Imler.
It took five starts to get the modified main underway. Some of the top dogs of the AMRA were on hand and anxious to make a good impression. Three straight spins sent the field reeling for position until finally a single file restart was summoned.
Both Rick Hensley and Kevin Dulaney, early leaders were victims of spins setting the stage for Kenny Johnson, the five time AMRA champion, to lead. Johnson lead for much of the duration until lap nine when his mounts slowed somewhat entering turn three, stumbled and never quite recovered. Pinkerton won the race.
The C&M Racing Equipment Sport Mods was another competitive event. Mike Brust led the first seven laps. Harley Martin after Brust ran in trouble.
In the street stocks, Tim Cutler made it a clean sweep for the evening. Cutler led twice during the event, jumping out to the early lead, only to have former champ Tommy Mossbarger take the top spot.
At the finish it was Cutler, Jamie Adams, Dean Boyd, Adam Jones, Dave Landman, Tommy Mossbarger, Justin Poling, Larry Highland, Derek Spencer, and Brian McQuay.
The rained-out Fire/EMS/PD Night will be added to the schedule on Saturday July 19th. This will be a $3,000 to win show for the AMRA Late Models and include AMRA Modifieds, Street Stocks and Sport Mods.

Headed down Lippencott road towards Saline Valley. I would end up on a road I was on three days ago which would take me either back over South Pass or north to the hot springs. Ride down Lippencott is mucho fun. I stopped and screwed around quite a bit at some old mining areas. Not sure which route I was going to take once I got back down into Saline Valley. The hotsprings were tempting but the weather was moving in from the west and I had no tent. It looked like it could get nasty tonite and the weather report I got the night before while in Beatty was calling for rain and cold temps at elevation. Hell with it, I'll enjoy the riding and make a decision later.
In the distance you can see Saline Valley with the road headed down.
Dropped down into the valley.
Arrived at the decision point. Left - back over South Pass or Right - hot springs with naked hippie chicks. I had seen on the map where there was an old hunter cabin up near South Pass. It would be cold but at least I'd have some shelter in the event of rain. I also might go to the hot springs and find some naked hippie chick that would take me in.... decisions, decisions. I turned left and headed for the pass in hopes that I would find the cabin empty. Back over the pass the weather was holding up and the riding good. Once I got back to the pass I turned left and according to the map had about 5 miles before a turn off to start looking for the cabin.
Heading up towards south pass
Looking west towards the cut off at South Pass. Took this headed back to the east in search of the cabin. Temps were dropping as the storm front was moving in and was running into some mud on this road from heavy rains the week prior.
Found it......sweet, won't be wet tonite!
Settled in for the night......

These are beautiful shoes but incredibly short. I have never taken larger than 38 in any European shoe brand. I often take a 37, so I thought I would order 38 to be on the safe side. My toes were hanging off the end! The fit seems to be at least one size small. I couldn't wear them at all, so I am returning them. Too bad ...

PARIS: As she eyes a fourth French Open crown, Justine Henin is keen to hang on to her lucky charm.
The only problem is that her mascot is an eight-year-old boy who cannot keep playing hookey in Paris.
The presence of Emmanuel Rodriguez, the son of Henin's coach Carlos, has always spurred the Belgian to success and she does not want to risk anything that could change her fortunes.
"I'm negotiating for him to stay. Emmanuel is lucky for me," the World No. 1 said after reaching the quarterfinals on Sunday. "He was there in Dubai and he was so happy to see my victory."
After the breakdown of her four-year marriage to Pierre-Yves Hardenne, Henin sought comfort with her coach's family.
Doing wonders
The 25-year-old feels their presence has done wonders for her form this year as she has already won three titles in 2007.
"Emmanuel brings a freshness and happiness and I'm very happy I have great people around me," she said. "His reaction at the age of eight tells more than when he was three or four.
"When I'm in a foreign country, he would call me. He's more and more interested, and even sometimes puts pressure on me, because he says, `Tin Tin,' that's what he calls me `You must win'.
"We love each other. Emmanuel's experienced many things with us and he is a great kid. It's just sheer happiness having him with me."
When reminded that she had never lost a match when Emmanuel was around, she whispered: "Shh, shh. This is something I don't want to talk about."
Too good to be true
Thinking people were making it up, Svetlana Kuznetsova logged on to the Internet to read the evidence herself.
When she saw it written in plain English, she had to pinch herself Roger Federer had picked out the Russian as his favourite player on the women's tour.
"I like her game, she plays well," Federer declared earlier in the week.
It sent Kuznetsova into a spin. "The Russian press told me and I thought `No, it was a joke'. So I wanted to check it myself and read this on the Internet," the third seed said after reaching the quarterfinals at Roland Garros.
"If I would have to choose a compliment from anybody, it's definitely the best I ever heard. Roger is a legend and to hear him say that is almost a dream.
"It's unbelievable to hear my hero say this about my tennis."
A runner-up in Paris 12 months ago, Kuznetsova is now eager to back up Federer's endorsement by winning the title on Saturday.
"If he likes my game, I would like to prove it more," she said.
She will next face rising Serb Ana Ivanovic for a place in the semifinals.
Duck, duck, goose
Serena Williams began to develop a cynical world view way back in kindergarten, when the games of "Duck, Duck, Goose" never went her way.
"It still hurts to talk about it," she said with a smile on Sunday. "I was never `Goose."'
Williams then delivered a detailed description of how the game is played, beginning, "Basically, all the kids from the class sit in a circle."
She continued: "I didn't have many friends. I never got chosen unless it was about time for recess to be over with."
Then, laughing at her own joke, she said, "Man, I need to talk to a shrink about this. I'm going too far into this. Never mind."
Unfit Venus
Turns out Venus Williams played the French Open on a bad knee.
Williams had her left knee checked out by a doctor when she flew home to the United States after losing in the third round at Roland Garros, her father said on Sunday.
"Her knee was swollen, and she shouldn't have played here," Richard Williams said after watching his other tennis-playing daughter, Serena, beat Dinara Safina to reach the French Open quarterfinals.
He said he wondered whether something might be wrong with Venus because of some awkward movement during a straight-set loss to Jelena Jankovic on Friday.
"I didn't learn 'till Venus got home that her knee was actually hurting her," he said, adding that joint has troubled her for years.
Stop the music
When her French Open opponent took an injury timeout on Sunday, Jankovic did what plenty of 22-year-olds would if they wanted to kill some time: She pulled an MP3 player out of her bag.
The chair umpire made the fourth-seeded Serb put it away before she got a chance to listen to any music.
"I didn't know that I'm not allowed to do that," Jankovic said after beating No. 18 Marion Bartoli, the last French singles player in the tournament. "But we're not allowed to have electronics while we are playing."
Bored while Bartoli was off court being treated for a leg problem, Jankovic got out of her changeover chair and hit some practice serves.
"I wanted to play with the ball boy," she said.
Bartoli thought she'd get a lot of help from the home crowd, but instead found herself overwhelmed by the circumstances.
"I felt the pressure when I walked on the court," she said. "Because when you walk on center court and have people applauding you, and you have French flags, and you have people ... that say, 'You're the last French player, fight it. It's the match of your life. What are you doing? You're not playing well.' I mean, that was a bit difficult for me to listen to." Agencies
