AFSCME was the primary pusher of the MLK holiday in Oregon
On Jan. 21, Oregonians will
join citizens nationwide in honoring the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Unfortunately, for many people MLK Day comes and goes as just some
miscellaneous holiday, with little recognition of the man and the
accomplishments behind the commemoration. But for union members in general
— and AFSCME members in particular — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is
a celebration of particular significance.
Many people remember that
Dr. King was in Memphis, Tenn., in 1968 when he was assassinated. You might
even recall something about "striking garbage workers." The exact truth is that
Dr. King was in Memphis to support members of fledgling Local 1733 of the
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME). Local
1733 was a newly organized unit of mostly African-American men employed as
sanitation workers by the City of Memphis.
City leadership had refused
to recognize the union, and its members went on strike March 12, seeking both
better wages and equal treatment. One documented example: a group of street
repairmen were sent home early one day due to inclement weather. Black
employees were paid for the two hours they worked, but their white counterparts
were all paid for the full day. This was the culture Dr. King sought to change
when he arrived in Memphis to lend his support to the strikers.
Dr. King was, by 1968, the
acknowledged voice of the American civil rights movement. He had led the
Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, personalized by Rosa Parks. He had co-founded
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957 and served as leader since
its inception. The "March on Washington" and Dr. King's signature "I Have A
Dream" speech had come five years
earlier, in 1963.
Dr. King's arrival in
Memphis was delayed by a bomb threat against his plane. Once there, on April 3,
1968, Dr. King poignantly delivered what's become known as his "I've Been to
the Mountaintop" address. In what
would be his final public oratory, he concluded by referencing the bomb threat
and foreshadowing his own death, saying:
"I just want to do God's
will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And
I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to
know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm
happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine
eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
The next day, April 4, 1968,
James Earl Ray thought he had silenced Dr. King with the bullet that killed
him. Forty-five years later, we understand that bullet had just the opposite
We are proud of the
historical tie between Dr. King and our union; indeed, AFSCME was a key driving
force behind making MLK Day a state holiday in Oregon. But Dr. King's work went
far beyond the boundaries of organized labor, and we urge you to pause and
reflect on the legacy of this great American as we celebrate his birthday.

Calvin Klein's latest banned commercial
By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on January 29th, 2009
It's beginning to be par for the course – Calvin Klein creates a commercial, it's too hot for TV and is banned and gets more attention and buzz than it ever would have on the airwaves.
This time the commercial, above, and admittedly a little NSFW, was even banned from late night cable. But it looks like a toned down version will make it to your TV.

Conservative groups protest at Tampa IRS building
Roberto Roldan
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
As part of a series of nationwide protests, over one hundred concerned citizens lined the east and westbound lanes of Columbus Drive, outside of the Tampa IRS building this afternoon. Local conservative organizations stood with signs and megaphones calling on the federal government to hold the IRS accountable.
Members from Tampa Bay area Tea Party and 9-12 groups held signs and flags to speak out against extra scrutiny that the IRS has given to conservative groups. Sharon Calvert, co-founder of the Tampa Tea Party, hoped to spread awareness of what she called the IRSâs âegregious activities.â
âThis is a nationwide rally across the country for Tea Party, conservative, patriot organizations to stand together and bring to the forefront that we will not stand for the activities that the IRS â what we have seen, that has been reported on â occur. And we also know that organizations, including one of our partner organizations here locally, actually did get targeted by the IRS.â
The group Calvert is referring to is a local conservative advocacy group called Tampa 9-12. According to the groups chair, Tim Curtis, they originally filed their 501(c)(4) in February of 2010. In August, the group was asked by the IRS to submit what Cutis called âintruding questionsâ about their organization. It wasnât until January of 2011 that the IRS finally approved Tampa 9-12's tax-exempt status.
âBut certainly in retrospect we were wondering why they were asking us what courses are we teaching, what research material were we using to teach the courses, and Iâll tell you further, I wonder if they werenât, at that point, having someone come and sit in on some of our meetings. Which, oh by the way, would have been wonderful for me because maybe they could have learned a little bit about our constitution.â
While some protesters waved American flags and held up signs that read âFire Obamaâ, Tampa resident Henry McKay dressed in a revolutionary-era outfit and spoke to others about his own experiences being on the receiving end of an IRS audit that he believes was unfounded. McKay says the solution to the IRS scandal is to enforce constitutional limits on the federal government.
âWell obviously, the hearing thatâs have come out here recently where theyâve targeted people â thatâs power gone amuck. Theyâre not bound by the constitution; theyâre bound by political will, basically. And that we have to reign in this federal mafia, in a sense. So thatâs my function here today along with all these other people is just to say âIRS youâre out of the box. Get back in the box! Start following the rules! Start following the constitution, will ya?!ââ
Meanwhile, in Washington, Douglas Shulman, former chief of the IRS, told a Senate Finance Committee today that he had no knowledge of the targeting that occurred while he was in charge and that the issue should have been brought âup the chainâ to him.comments powered by Disqus

This is unfortunate. I'm not a fan of signing in to Feedly with a Google login, and this move to requiring Google+ to login is enough to push me to another service. As a result, I am willing to pay a yearly fee to Feedbin to stay as far away from the ever-expanding reach of Google, something I would have done with Feedly had Feedly developers also opted not to use Google for login.
And to be clear about something, Feedly does not have an alternate login option today, and the Feedly developers have indicated on their blog that alternate options will be coming over the next 7 weeks. 7 weeks! That's absurd.
Doesn't matter though as their alternate options are just as bad. Facebook? WordPress? Twitter? Really? How about your own, non-associated login option? How is that such a difficult concept for the developers to grasp?
Their blog entry, and the not-so-thrilled responses from users: http://blog.feedly.com/2013/11/07/google-authentication/

"THE lanky 15-year-old sidled down fetid alleys, past gin palaces and dance halls. Sailors hung out of windows, the gaiety of their boozy whores belying the squalor around them. The boy's predatory looks and patched clothes seemed in keeping. But his black eyes betrayed a horror at the sights: ten crammed into a room, babies diseased from erupting cesspits, the uncoffined dead gnawed by rats."
Having just told us that "the teenage Huxley is unknown", Adrian Desmond shows remarkable skill in painting such a colourful word picture of his subject as a drug grinder's apprentice in the East End of London of 1841. Nor does the pace slacken as he takes us through the life of a voracious and fiercely pugnacious intellect. Here epigrammatic, there frenetic, and never remotely boring, the prose is unusually well matched to the peerless characteristics of its subject.

Publisher's Description
We humans are prone to failure. Were experts at muddying, mixing, and messing up our lives. Who among us hasnt looked up from the bottom of a pit and realized he dug it himself? Who hasnt fallen so far, messed up so badly that she thought there was no hope? And its at these low points that we crave reminders that theres hope for the broken.
No reminder is quite as poignant as a story of second chances. A story of grace in action. Who couldnt use more stories of grace like this?
Second Chances releases just in time for Easter promotions and is an ideal companion to GRACE: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine. Filled with biblical, contemporary, and imaginative accounts of Gods grace in action pulled from Maxs previously published works, Second Chances includes tales of second chances for the rebellious, prideful, failure-prone, and more. From Peter to King David to a prodigal daughter, these stories will remind readers of the magnitude of the gospel of second chances.
Author Bio
More than 120 million readers have been inspired by the words of Max Lucado. He lives with his wife, Denalyn, and their mischievous mutt, Andy, in San Antonio, Texas, where he serves the people of Oak Hills Church.

Dr JSKAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5July 20, 2013Dr JSKAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5Second Chances: More Stories Of Grace, written by Max Lucado, is a book that strives to formulate a beautiful picture of grace, a picture that serves to remind us that forgiveness is always as near as God.
Who doesn't make mistakes? Who doesn't need the opportunity to receive a second chance once in awhile? Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone needs a second chance, and many of us would do almost anything to get that chance. Max reminds us, through this publication, that the God we love and serve is a God of second chances.
With the turn of every page, we are reminded of the endless love of God. We are reminded that His love is seen and felt powerfully every day within the blessings of His grace and mercy, both of which He chooses to extend to us freely, even though we are undeserving.
Max has divided this book into six sections: For the rebellious, For the regret-riddled, For the prideful, For the mistake-makers, For a faltering faith, and For those who hurt us. Each section contains a few stories that are focused on the topic at hand. While these stories are gleaned from previous works and complied together, they still help us focus powerfully on God's grace.
This book is a wonderful publication and is a recommended read or a good gift for someone struggling with their identity in Christ.

I find that Max's books are discrepant reminders and avid thought provokers. This book details God's mercy evident in many different stories of the Bible, in Max's personal life, and of friends/acquaintances. Jesus is open armed and ready to take your burdens and give you rest in exchange. So often, we complicate things. We make it so complex, we slave away to be in control and fix ourselves. Jesus is willing to take it, no questions asked. He will receive us and we can take hope and courage to leave it at the cross. I think one of the most powerful chapters I read in this book was the one regarding the thief on the cross. They mock him as a king. If he were crazy, they would ignore him. If he had no followers, they'd turn him away. If he were nothing to fear, they wouldn't kill him. You only kill a king if he has a kingdom.This thief is at the lowest, being penalized for his crimes. He has nothing, and Christ is now everything. I would recommend this book to anyone who is either to prideful to realize their need or too shameful to look up. It's a beautiful truth.

He shares in this book stories of how as humans we will mess up, fall and fail.
But then he presents the story that we all are titled to have - a second chance.
And who would want to deny that story?
Personally, this is just a good affirmation or confirmation of what Jeremiah 29:11 means to us all - we have hope.

Are you looking for a free fuck?
Are you looking for a girl you can fuck for free - or lots of girls you can fuck for free? You've found your way here so we're guessing that at least one of these statements must be true. And there's nothing wrong with that btw. That's the beauty of internet dating. Now there are literally thousands of dating sites helping people connect with exactly the type of person they are looking for. If you're looking for girls in uniform there are sites that will cater to that. If you're looking for redheads, small girls, tall girls, girls into poetry, girls with big boobs - there are sites catering for all of those. If, on the other hand, you're looking for chicks you can fuck for nothing, that's what we're all about! Sign up 100% free and start browsing girls' profiles straight away. As one of the UK's largest dating networks we have thousands of girls throughout the UK looking for uncomplicated free sex. You'd be amazed how many girls think exactly the same way as you do. Not all of them are looking for Mr Right. Some just want to go out for a few drinks and a few laughs then back to theirs/yours for some no-strings-attached sex. What do we mean by 'no-strings-attached'? Put simply, they are not looking for a relationship. They just want casual sex and that's it. They have desires too and you may be just the person to satisfy them. The most important thing is that no money changes hands. We guarantee that the women you meet on this site will be looking for a bunk up and will not be escorts touting for business. There are many horror stories about guys who meet chicks on dating sites only to find out later that they, in fact, want to be paid for their time. We will absolutely categorically not tolerate that! The members on our site are your typical English girls-next-door. The only difference is they are slightly more up-front about what they are looking for in a dating site - and they are not currently looking for 'Mr Right' - they are looking for 'Mr Right Now'!
Free local fuck
So if you are looking for action you really should give us a try. Once you sign up you'll be able to browse and search for profiles in your neighbourhood as frankly there's no point being a member of a dating site where all the prospects live miles away. You'll be able to input your postcode and then see who lives near you so you can narrow your search down to just local girls looking for fun and excitement. Once you find someone you like the look of you can choose to get in touch by sending private messages. In order to do that you'll need to upgrade to our trial membership but that only costs £3 and we think you'll agree that is a pretty small price to pay for a night of passion - or lots depending on how successful you are.
One piece of advice though - treat the girls well and you'll have a lot more luck. Even though the females on here are looking for sex it doesn't automatically make them slags or in some way not worthy of being treated with respect. They are simply modern women who know what they want. When you send messages treat them the same way as you would any babe you want to get close to and you'll find them a lot more receptive. Some guys seem to think they can be rude or aggressive and that will somehow be considered a turn-on. We're here to tell you it won't! Girls still want to shag a nice attractive guy with a good sense of humour who treats them well. It's just here you can cut to the chase more as there is less pussy-footing around. Sex is always on the cards - as long as you play your cards right that is. If someone you send a message to doesn't reply within the hour it doesn't necessarily mean she's rejecting you - she may just be busy or she may be very popular and getting lots of messages. Sometimes persistence pays - without turning into a stalker obviously! If a girl says she's not interested on she just doesn't reply then you need to take that on board and move on to the next one as there are plenty more fish in the sea.
So there you have it. If you're looking for some fun on your doorstep you've got nothing to lose by signing up and giving us a try! If you don't find anyone you want to fuck free then you've only wasted a few minutes of your time. If it turns out that the hot girl you see at the bus stop all the time is gagging for it then we'd have to say that should be considered a major result. Find out for yourself by signing up above, it will only take a couple of seconds to fill in the form then you'll be off-and-running. Happy Hunting!

youre the one nufocus who thinks you speak for everyone in birmingham. your remarks "They should not and must not be influenced by remarks by external critics who will discredit and criticize every step they take to address issues and matters that involve the city.", is assuming everyone in birmingham thinks like you. never, some of us have a mind of our own.
You and those thinking like you are promoting only the actions of criminals. And please don't assume all citizen of Bham have the same backwards thinking as you, because we do not. If this council wants to do something constructive, call a meeting of all the criminals and question their actions! Leave the police alone and support them in doing their jobs.
This is the most bogus bunch of crap i have ever heard. Each of those sitting idiotic council members, who are in campaign mode, are more focused on protecting the criminals, committing crime that protecting and adequately paying those enforcing the law.
A police chief and a department, who are doing their jobs, now they have these elected "officials", questioning their abilities, because criminals, caught in the act of committing a crime, and refusing to obey the police, putting everyone's lives in danger, are complaining. Two (2) complaints.
are the criminals the ones on the street or sitting on the council ? Next election cycle, if law abiding citizens do not vote all of these clowns off the council, we need our heads examined.
this change isstartn with the teacher so get over it
Who cares they can apply and should have better teachers,
@t least it going to the classrooms and students/. where do i donate to this program?
iF the teacher did their jobs and taught we wouldnt be here.
same schools same teachers same administrators same results.

We're Here to Help
What will my Acupuncturist do during my visit?
During the initial exam we will take a full health history and you will be asked questions regarding your symptoms, health, nutrition and lifestyle. Your Acupuncturist will check your pulses, look at your tongue and may conduct a physical exam.
Considering all these factors, as well as discussing your stress level and other emotional issues, your Acupuncturist will put together a comprehensive diagnosis and discern where the imbalances are in your body. After completing the intake and diagnosis, your Acupuncturist will formulate a treatment plan and insert needles accordingly. You will then have an opportunity to rest for about 30 minutes.
What should I expect to feel during the treatment?
At the point where the acupuncture needle is inserted you may experience a vague heavy sensation, tingling or dull ache. Sometimes people experience a sensation of energy spreading and moving around the needle. This is called the "Qi sensation". All of these reactions are completely normal.
Everyone experiences acupuncture treatments differently. After the treatment you may have a feeling of sleepiness and deep sense of relaxation or you may feel energized with a sense of well-being. Either way, listen to your body and act accordingly.
How many treatments will I need?
Since each person is unique and responds differently to treatment, the number of treatments will vary. Among the determining factors are the nature, severity, and history of your complaint, as well as your overall health. Usually one or two treatments per week are necessary when first starting out with acupuncture.
In some cases, symptoms will improve very rapidly with acupuncture and herbs. As a general rule, chronic problems require treatment for several weeks or longer while acute problems tend to respond much faster. As in any form of medical care, the patient's attitude, diet, determination, and lifestyle will affect the outcome and course of treatment.
Is acupuncture safe?
Acupuncture is an extremely safe form of healthcare when provided by a licensed professional. The State of California requires licensed Acupuncturists to use sterile, single use disposable needles. Furthermore, Acupuncturists in California are required to be certified in clean needle technique before sitting for the state licensing exam.
Does acupuncture hurt?
This is the most common question that people ask about acupuncture because many people have a fear of needles. Acupuncture needles are nothing like the hypodermic needles used to draw blood. In fact, they are hair thin and more like pins rather than needles. While some points may be more sensitive than others, most people barely even feel them upon insertion and are usually pleasantly surprised at how pain free and relaxing the treatment really is.
What is Chinese Herbal Medicine?
Chinese herbal medicine has been practiced for thousands of years, and has continued to develop as research points to new ways herbal medicine can help in healing, health and well being. The materia medica of Traditional Chinese Medicine is comprised of over 500 single herbs mostly coming from plant's seeds, berries, roots, leaves, flowers and bark. Every herb has multiple functions and they are categorized according to taste, temperature and main use. Single herbs work synergistically when they are combined into formulas and are rarely used individually. At Acupuncture Mama by Essential Points, Chinese herbal formulas are prescribed for each individual patient based on diagnostic patterns and principles.
Are Chinese herbs safe?
Chinese herbs are very safe when prescribed correctly by a properly trained practitioner. Over the centuries, herbologists have compiled detailed information about them and placed great emphasis on the protection of the patient. Allergic type reactions are rare, and will cause no lasting damage if treatment is stopped as soon as symptoms appear.
In California, Acupuncturists are the only licensed health care professionals who are required to be trained and tested for competency in prescribing herbal medicine. The California Acupuncture Board strongly recommends consulting an Acupuncturist before beginning any herbal therapy. It is also important to inform both your physician and your acupuncturist about all of the drugs, herbs, and other supplements you are currently taking so they can monitor and prevent any adverse reactions.

John Merzbacher, a former South Baltimore parochial school teacher convicted of raping a student, will remain in prison after the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a decision Friday that could have set him free.
In an emotional victory for the former students named in civil lawsuits and identified by prosecutors as his victims, the court ruled that Merzbacher is not entitled to a plea deal that his lawyers argued should have been offered to him nearly 20 years ago.
"This is a man who held a loaded gun to my head at ages 11 and 12 and 13 and threatened to kill me if I ever told," said Elizabeth Ann Murphy, a former student raped by Merzbacher in the 1970s at Catholic Community Middle School. "Well, I told, and he is in jail."
Merzbacher's could ask for a second review by the U.S. Circuit Court or appeal to the Supreme Court. It's unclear whether he will seek such a review, or whether either court would grant one.
The former teacher was convicted in 1995 of raping Murphy, and charges relating to 13 other alleged victims were dropped after Merzbacher was given four life sentences.
She hopes the court decision will bring to a close an 18-year fight to see Merzbacher kept behind bars. But she said her heart aches for several of her former classmates and Merzbacher accusers who didn't live to see the resolution.
"It is bittersweet," Murphy said. "This is a modicum of some kind of justice and peace."
Merzbacher was accused of threatening and harassing students, raping girls, sodomizing boys and forcing some of the children to have sex with one another, according to court documents. In Murphy's case, he was convicted in Baltimore of rape, child abuse and perverted practice.
Merzbacher, 71, is incarcerated at the Eastern Correctional Institution in Westover.
His attorney for the appeal, H. Mark Stichel, said he was disappointed by the decision. "I haven't had a chance to consult with my client to see what he would like to do next. Obviously, a petition to the Supreme Court is a possibility, but the decision will be his," he said.
News of Friday's ruling spread quickly online among Merzbacher's former students.
"Facebook is filling up with happiness," said Robert Duncan, 48, an accounting and billing professional who lives in Federal Hill. "It's just been consuming these last few months, and now it's just a big sigh of relief."
Duncan has accused his former teacher of verbal abuse, saying Merzbacher him an "idiot" and "stupid" when he was a young student.
Linda Malat Tiburzi, 51, of Brooklyn said she was overwhelmed after learning the decision. Tiburzi relocated from Boston to help fight Merzbacher's potential release. She has said in court filings that Merzbacher sexually abused her while she was a student between 1973 and 1976.
A criminal case concerning those allegations was dropped after Merzbacher was convicted of raping Murphy. Tiburzi later made similar claims in a civil suit.
"The first words out of my month were 'thank God and thank the judges,' " Tiburzi said. "It still has not hit home, because it has been such a long battle, but it will. I am ecstatic.
"I have the confidence that he will remain in prison until the day he dies. … If I could [give] one word of advice to anyone out there who has gone through what I have — what we have — never give up. Never give up."
The appeals court sided Friday with Maryland courts, which had ruled that Merzbacher should be kept locked up. A lower federal court later decided that Merzbacher should be given an opportunity to take a plea deal that his attorneys had discussed with prosecutors in judge's chambers.
The latest ruling turned on the state court's interpretation of whether the plea deal was definitive and whether Merzbacher would have taken it.
The appeals court judges said the state court was reasonable in finding that Merzbacher was "not credible when he stated that he would have taken the plea if it had been offered to him." The judges also noted that the deal contained a number of significant, undefined terms "of the sort that require substantial negotiation and compromise."

A 6-legged lamb has been born in a tiny village in the republic of Georgia and it's turning quite a few heads.
The 6-legged lamb was born in the village of Velistsikhe. It has four legs in the front and two in the back.
The lamb seems to have at least partial control of each leg.
The lamb also appears to be a hermaphrodite, with both male and female reproductive organs.
Shepherd Albert Abadzhanov says the little lamb is having some trouble walking, but appears to be developing normally otherwise.
In his 25 years of shepherding, he says he's never seen anything quite like this.
"I have been asking the other shepherds, but none of them remember such [a] case. There were three-legged lambs, one-eyed, but not [a] six legged, bisexual one," Abadzhanov said.
Veterinarian Otto Zardiashvili says the 6-legged lamb is an anomaly.
"Most probably there were twins, but then the embryos were united, and we've got a strange lamb," he said.

Almost everyone knows CEO pay is out of control. It surged 16 percent at big companies last year, according to the New York Times, and the typical CEO raked in $15.1 million.
Meanwhile, the median wage continued to drop, adjusted for inflation.
What's less well-known is that you and I and other taxpayers are subsidizing this sky-high executive compensation. That's because corporations deduct it from their income taxes, causing the rest of us to pay more in taxes to make up the difference.

|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|Governor Napolitano. She took over after the alt-fuels fiasco almost bankrupted the state and turned us around by including everyone into the conversation and continues to make the changes needed to move us forward by being inclusive.
|Has state government been spending too much money, the right amount, or not enough? Specifically, how would you change the state's approach to spending?
|The state legislature has done a poor job of spending the money effectively and efficiently. Not enough on education, transportation, air quality, water resources, renewable energy and lowering healthcare costs, and too much money on failed projects that used tax dollars to pay for the services of out of state vendors, allowed tax credits we could not afford to offer and ignored the issues Arizonan�s really care about.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too much money. Why?
|Given the recent cuts, I am not aware of any agency that is over-funded. I am concerned however when agencies outsource work outside the state, when Arizonan�s could perform the work, for less money and keep those revenues in-state.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too little money. Why?
|Office of Financial Institutions. Given the current mortgage crisis, this agency indicates that they only have a few investigators to inspect and investigate the thousands of mortgage companies and brokers that operate in Arizona. They are several years behind in their inspections/audits and indicate many unqualified businesses are operating unchecked in our state contributing to our record number of foreclosures.
|If you favor further state tax cuts, name one tax that should be cut and why.
|Right now, given the economic instability and the large deficits, I see no room for further tax cuts. Decisions were made without thought to the long term ramifications, and the new representatives elected this November will have to be willing to work hard and come up with long term solutions.
|If you oppose further tax cuts, name one strategy you would pursue to boost the state's economy.
|Strengthen public education and expand higher education opportunities to more people in Arizona. With a well qualified workforce, more technology based and other businesses would be attracted to Arizona.
|Are there any circumstances under which you would favor a tax increase to offset future state budget deficits?
|We need to do a comprehensive review of the existing tax cuts and exemptions and determine which have outlived their intended purpose. Some tax cuts and exemptions were enacted decades ago with the purpose of attracting certain businesses to Arizona or addressing problems decades ago. The new legislature needs to review all of these to determine which are still effective and what, if any, should be removed.
|Should Arizona take the lead in fighting global warming even if the federal government doesn't? If so, how?
|All states have to actively pursue ways to protect our resources, develop renewable energy sources, promote businesses that offer solar and green technologies. One state cannot do it alone, but Arizona can certainly lead by example as we are a natural fit for more solar options.
|What one state action do you think would work best to combat the problem of illegal immigration. Why?
|I agree with the Governor�s strategy that as a border state, she has been meeting with officials in Mexico and working on ways that they can bolster their own economic stability. People come to Arizona because they believe there are jobs to be had. If the United States encourages and works with Mexico to increase their own economic stability, people would be far less likely to leave their homes and families, breaking the law, risking jail time or prison to earn a living, when good jobs are available in their own backyards.
|If you could only introduce one bill in the coming legislative session, what would it be?
|Appropriately and permanently adjusting funding to education, so our children can complete in a global job market.
|Name one unsuccessful bill during the 2008 legislative session that you believe should have become law.
|I would have liked to see more movement on consumer protection issues and licensing requirements for mortgage brokerages operating in Arizona.
|Should the Legislature act to reduce the influence of state and federal courts over state government? If so, how?
|No. Our judicial system is set up under the framework of the Constitution to provide a system of checks and balances. No one arm was intended to overshadow the others.
|What, if anything, should the Legislature do to improve health care for its citizens?
|Look at other states programs for insurance pooling as a way to cut costs, expand self-insurance programs to include participation of small businesses and self-employed residents, evaluate health care system service delivery and prescription medication costs for more affordable alternatives, and craft a plan to suit Arizona.
|Do you support using state funds for bioscience research?
|To the extent that such research would assist in lowering health care costs, and training students interested in entering the medical science field, yes.
|Do you support the use of school vouchers? Why or why not?
|No. Constitutionally, we are to provide public education services to our children and until such time that public education is properly funded, vouchers should not be an option. When my daughter was very young, before she could attend public kindergarten, I enrolled her in Montessori private school. It was my decision and I paid for it, with no expectation that taxpayers should fund my choice.
|Should the AIMS test continue to be required for graduation? Should it be toughened?
|AIMS should be used as a tool to determine where an individual student is lacking, and then target those areas and help the student reach their maximum potential. The goal needs to be helping students become successful and ready for the highly competitive job market they will face as adults.
|Would spending more money on public schools increase the quality of education in Arizona? Why or why not?
|Yes. In other states and other countries that fully invest in their educational systems, children are more prepared to enter the job market and compete on a larger scale. Undercutting education does nothing to improve our economy or keep the United States competitive with other countries.

Set in a train station, this series of three paintings explores the psychological dimension of modern life's transitory nature. In The Farewells, Boccioni captures chaotic movement and the fusion of people swept away in waves as the train's steam bellows into the sky. Oblique lines hint at departure in Those Who Go, in which Boccioni said he sought to express "loneliness, anguish, and dazed confusion." In Those Who Stay, vertical lines convey the weight of sadness carried by those left behind.

About Me
Working with children with autism and other developmental disabilities has been my career and my passion since 2005. I quickly realized how much progress could be made with children when they are a part of a quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) program and returned to school to receive formal education in the field. I graduated from the University of Missouri-Kansas City with a Master's in Special Education and then completed coursework in ABA through Southern Illinois University. In January 2011, I became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
The effectiveness of ABA continues to amaze me and I love teaching others how to use the principles in their own daily lives. As a consultant, there is nothing greater than empowering others to use ABA effectively and to watch how a consistent therapeutic environment improves the quality of life in children with autism and their families. Initial language development, verbal behavior, play and social skills, and how to enjoy spending time with others are just a few of my programming specialties. Additionally, I am experienced in reducing aberrant behaviors while increasing pro-social replacement behaviors, family training, and staff training. Contact me to find out more about the wide variety of services that I offer.
ABA and VB Related Services:
Applied Behavior Analysis
ABA is the leading treatment for autism and is even endorsed by the surgeon general. Decades of peer-reviewed research have led to the development of effective interventions that use the principles of ABA. Just a few methods, styles, and interventions of ABA include:

Oops! Facebook jumps the gun on 'Prototypes'
Company pulls a post from its Twitter account announcing a feature akin to Google Labs, right before the company was slated to present at TechCrunch50.
It looks as if Facebook was a little premature in using its Twitter account to announce "Prototypes," a Google Labs-like operation that lets members beta-test new features for the social network and offer feedback.
The tweet offering a screenshot of Prototypes was swiftly deleted--but props to The Next Web for snagging it before it was pulled.
So what are the "prototypes" in question? Facebook seems to be experimenting with desktop notifications, content discovery, and upgrades to its Events invitation service. Next to each test feature is a star-based rating system through which, presumably, users can offer their feedback.
Facebook plans to take the stage at the TechCrunch50 conference in San Francisco early on Tuesday afternoon to make a developer-related announcement. It's pretty likely that this has something to do with it.

|The fourth installment in the Music Is...Awesome! series put together by the folks at Yo Gabba Gabba! is another wonderfully cute collection of songs that focuses on teaching kids lessons on how to live a good, fun life, and wants them to get up and dance at the same time. Short songs performed by the Yo Gabba Gabba! characters are sprinkled among tracks by big-name indie rock and pop bands like Metric, Belle & Sebastian, and Peter Bjorn & John, legends like George Clinton and Biz Markie, and some nice surprises (Japanese 8-bit group YMCK, the re-formed-just-for-this Rocket from the Crypt.) The songs are unfailingly bright and chipper, written by the team behind the show (except in the case of Belle & Sebastian's "You Can Do It If You Try") and delivered with just the right amount of wide-eyed innocence by the bands. While there are some undeniable musical highlights (RTTC's storming blast of good-time punk "He's a Chef," Cut Copy's "Fantastic Voyage," the Bird and the Bee's incredibly important "Cover Your Mouth"), the entire experience is top-notch children's music that should appeal to both ankle-biters and their parents. Especially if they are tired of kid's music that insults their intelligence and is the musical equivalent of sucking on a pacifier. Once again, the team behind Yo Gabba Gabba! exposes all age groups to positive messages and a wide range of well-written and performed music that will make you smile and dance, and that is definitely awesome! ~ Tim Sendra

NORWOOD YOUNG AMERICA, MN - April 26, 2012 - SPF roofing systems are the undisputed choice for the City of Norwood Young America in Minnesota, with much thanks to Kohls Foam Systems. After Kohls re-roofed a leaky waste treatment facility back in 2007, the city insisted that its latest public utility structure, a water treatment plant, be built to last with spray foam.
Kohls Foam Systems is a contractor that offers services in spray foam insulation, spray foam roofing, and weatherization. Although Kohls has installed SPF roofs all over the US, these particular projects were based in the company's headquarters in Minnesota. The two brothers behind Kohls were able to lend their expertise - and the superior quality of spray foam - to a project that will make their own city utility structures more sustainable and built to last.
The first collaboration, in 2007, involved the renovation of a public waste treatment facility. The original roof utilized a rubber roofing system and was prone to leaks.
"The roof leaking was very detrimental, because of computers and other electrical equipment located inside," said Bruce Kleaver, a sales representative for Kohls Foam Systems. "With the SPF roofing we alleviated that, and also saved the city a huge sum of money."
In 2011, a new water treatment plant was under construction in the city. The original plan called for another rubber roofing system, similar to the one that performed so miserably at the waste treatment facility. City officials rejected this plan, and instead called for another SPF job by the team at Kohls Foam Systems.
"The City of Young America basically insisted that the spec be changed to a spray foam roof," said Kleaver.
Kohls was called in as a subcontractor by Di-Mar Construction, Inc., who had won the bid to head up the total construction project. Kohls was the chosen contractor because of its superior service to the city in 2007, Kleaver said.
The job was completed in under two weeks in the fall of 2010. A team from Kohl's applied three inches of BASF FE 348 closed-cell foam to the 7,626 square-foot roof. On top of this, they applied a silicone base provided by BASF. A white topcoat, embedded with Sesco Roofing Granules, was the last step, transforming the concrete substrate into a leak free, cool-roof system built for longevity and sustainability.
The water treatment facility was up and running in mid-2011.
About Kohls Foam Systems:
Located in the Twin Cities, MN, Kohls Foams Systems has applied polyurethane foam roofing systems on thousands of buildings for companies across the nation. Brothers Pat & John Kohls and their roofing crews have been providing high quality roofing solutions for commercial and industrial buildings for over 20 years. Kohls Foam Systems specializes in spray Polyurethane Foam Roofing Systems for commercial and industrial roofs, flat roofs, metal roofs, traditional and irregularly shaped roofs.

Mountaineers, Goldberg Earn Bars Rankings
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University gymnastics team, along with freshman Alexa Goldberg, are nationally ranked on the uneven bars in this week's GymInfo Poll.
The Mountaineers (5-4, 0-1 Big 12) check in at No. 22 this week with a 48.813 season average. Goldberg, an Ivyland, Pa., native, ranks No. 32 with a 9.846 average. The rookie bars and floor specialist has earned a national ranking each week this season.
Today's rankings are based on season average. Rankings will be based on regional qualifying scores (RQS) beginning next Monday.
All three of the Mountaineers' Perfect 10 Challenge opponents are nationally ranked this week. Following a first-place finish at the Metroplex Challenge in Fort Worth, on Feb. 15, with a nation-best score of 198.175, Oklahoma has regained the No. 1 spot with a 197.446 average. Florida is No. 2 (197.392), LSU is No. 3 (197.379) and Utah and Alabama are No. 4 (197.135) and No. 5 (197.025), respectively. WVU will meet the Sooners, the Crimson Tide and No. 7 Michigan (196.65) this Friday, Feb. 21, at the challenge, held at the Cox Arena and Convention Center, in Oklahoma City, at 8 p.m. ET.
Regionally, the Mountaineers are No. 4 (194.458) in the Southeast. The squad ranks No. 3 on bars and No. 5 on vault (48.725), beam (48.296) and floor (48.625).
Senior Hope Sloanhoffer owns four regional rankings. The Cornwall, N.Y., native is No. 6 (38.962) in the all-around, a team-best No. 11 (9.825) on vault, No. 12 (9.821) on bars and No. 25 (9.708) on floor.
Freshman Nicolette Swoboda and sophomore Melissa Idell also own multiple regional rankings. Swoboda, a Westbury, N.Y., native, ranks No. 13 (38.754) in the all-around and No. 17 (9.804) on vault, while Idell, a native of Newark, Del., ranks No. 18 (9.7) on beam and a team-best No. 20 (9.733) on floor.
Sophomore Jaida Lawrence falls between Sloanhoffer and Swoboda in the vault rankings and checks in at No. 13 (9.821). Junior Dayah Haley ranks No. 21 (9.729) on floor.
Goldberg paces the bars unit and ranks No. 8. Senior Erica Smith follows Sloanhoffer at No. 15 (9.767).
Senior Amanda Carpenter ranks a team-best No. 11 (9.756) on beam, and junior Beth Deal follows Idell at No. 24 (9.654).
The Mountaineers rank behind the Sooners at No. 2 in the Big 12 Conference. WVU also ranks No. 2 on vault, bars, and No. 3 on beam and floor.
Sloanhoffer and Swoboda rank No. 2 and No. 4, respectively, in the all-around. Sloanhoffer also ranks No. 7 on vault and No. 9 on bars, while Swoboda ranks No. 10 on vault.
Idell ranks No. 10 on beam and floor, while Goldberg and Carpenter pace the bars and beam units at No. 7 and No. 8, respectively.
The Mountaineers are coming off a 194.45-194.125 victory over Pitt on Feb. 14 at the WVU Coliseum. Sloanhoffer scored her fifth straight all-around victory with a 38.7 showing. The Mountaineers took at least a share of each individual competition. Lawrence won vault (9.85), Goldberg won bars (9.825), Carpenter tied for the beam victory (9.8), and Sloanhoffer, Haley and freshman Mackenzie Myers shared the floor win (9.8).
WVU travels to Oklahoma City Wednesday, with a practice session scheduled for Thursday afternoon at Cox Arena and Convention Center. A link for live stats for Friday's meet can be found at WVUSports.com, and television information will be released later this week. The meet will not be streamed online.

The Bachelor
Bachelor 16's Emily O'Brien: 5 Things You Need to Know
You know she's a germaphobe with a fear of heights and a "gangsta" side. You know she was matched to her brother in an online dating site and kind of forced Ben Flajnik into the first kiss of The Bachelor Season 16. But what else do you know about 27-year-old Emily O'Brien? Grab some sanitizer and read on for five factoids about the new (now-eliminated) Emily of The Bachelor.
1. She was a psychology major at Duke University
Hence her quick Episode 3 diagnosis that Courtney Robertson – the contestant who most gets under her skin this season – has social problems and a personality disorder. It's funny 'cause Ali Fedotowsky was also a psychology major (at Clark University) and she clashed with Vienna Girardi on Jake Pavelka's Season 14 in kind of a similar way... and it was friend-less Vienna who made it to the end. Hmm. Also, in her ABC bio, Emily named "East of Eden" as her favorite book because "It's such a perfect story of good and evil and an amazing examination of human psychology." Double hmm...
2. She coulda been a Bachelorette contender
When Reality Steve "spoiled" some of Ben's bachelorettes in November, he wrote, "When I was informed about Emily over a month ago, it was told to me she is 'this season's Ames [Brown],'" Steve wrote, "Smart, attractive, well liked, and most definitely a front runner. Had no idea what an Epidemiologist was until I googled it. Easily one of the smarter women they've ever cast. Not hard to figure out if Ben doesn't pick her, you might wanna pencil her in for the next Bachelorette." Well, yes, but... wrong Emily!
3. She's a weekend stroke warrior
On The Bachelor, Emily is billed as a PhD student studying epidemiology. She's reportedly from Charlotte (like Emily Maynard) but she's now studying at the Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in N.C. If you have time, why not read Emily's research article, "Stroke Mortality, Clinical Presentation and Day of Arrival: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study," published last year. Here's the background:
Recent studies report that acute stroke patients who present to the hospital on weekends have higher rates of 28-day mortality than similar patients who arrive during the week. However, how this association is related to clinical presentation and stroke type has not been systematically investigated.
As impressive and fascinating as that is, she was smart enough not to talk stroke on her first date with Ben in Episode 3. (Buzz kill!)
4. She loves to dance
In her ABC bio, she's asked, "Do you like to go out dancing? If yes, what is your preferred type of dancing?" Emily answered, "Yes. I like to 'drop it like it's hot.' I try to replicate some zumba routines on the dance floor and usually end up getting made fun of." So, she's no Ashley Hebert on the dance floor but points for putting yourself out there!
5. She has a history of calling people out
In Episode 4, we're going to see Emily talk to Ben about Courtney's attitude and it sounds like this won't be the first time she goes public with what she considers unacceptable behavior. In her ABC bio, she completed the sentence "I hate it when my date..." with "Uses a coupon to bring the bill down to $4.32, then tips the waitress 67 cents. You know who you are." Skinflint!! Maybe he can hang out with Lindzi Cox's ex in Dumpsville.

The identity of the Gothic clock tower at the Palace of Westminster is like flypaper to pedants and counter-pedants. Any time someone refers to 'Big Ben', anywhere on the web, you can guarantee there will be a comment within minutes pointing out that Big Ben is the name of the bell, not the tower. It's like people have Google Alerts set up for such transgressions.
There are two levels of pedantry at play here. The amateur nitpicker will immediately leap in and declare that 'there's no such tower as 'Big Ben' – I think you mean St Stephen's Tower'. Look, see, the BBC are very careful to not fall into the Big Ben trap. Twice. Visit London are keen to point out the fallacy. The Independent concur. It's definitely St Stephen's Tower, and not Big Ben.
Talk about red rag to a bull (another myth, by the way). A second cohort of pedants stands guard, ready to pounce on such heresy. 'It's not St Stephen's Tower,' they cry. 'It's simply known as the Clock Tower. St Stephen's is the shorter, spired tower above Central Lobby'. And, technically, they're correct. Wired fell into the trap, but so have innumerable bloggers and photographers.
However, we'd like to fly the flag for the vernacular. The term 'Big Ben' is in such common parlance, and the phrase 'Clock Tower' so generic and ambiguous, that for the sake of clear communication it is much easier to refer to the tower as Big Ben. Our solution is to call it Big Ben in passing, and then add a cheeky tag as insurance against insistent pedants.
If you want to delve into this issue further, have a wade through this lengthy and monumentally pedantic Wikipedia discussion.

Calico Rudasil is a feature columnist for Sssh.com, the web's original erotic site for women by women. With over 16 years' experience of writing about and for the adult entertainment industry under her belt, Calico qualifies as something of a Web Porn Dinosaur; similar to a tyrannosaurus, only with far more attractive arms and a less pronounced overbite.
Today, Calico Rudasil comes to the Sex.com Blog to talk about the recent tragedy of a couple whose night of sex on the train tracks was ruined by an on-coming train.
Call me a skeptic, but….
A man in the Ukraine who survived an incident in which he was run over by a speeding locomotive, told the Ukranian Interior Ministry that he and his girlfriend "failed to overcome their natural passion when walking home" and decided to have a roll in the hay on a set of freaking railroad tracks.
What happened next was actually fairly predictable and pretty easily avoided, unless you have no idea what a train is, are stone deaf, and capable of such amazing sex that neither you nor your partner would notice several tons of steel, wood, counterfeit cigarettes (probably), Vodka (for sure) and Ukranian hobos bearing down on you at high speed: the intimately entwined couple got run over by – you guessed it! – a fucking train.
While I don't doubt that there are people out there who are both sufficiently horny and sufficiently dumb to consider doing the horizontal mambo on a set of train tracks, I do think it's quite fishy that the man survived to tell the tale (albeit in two pieces) and his girlfriend did not.
This all sounds a bit too much like something Charles Stuart would come up with, except he would screw up his story by claiming that the conductor was definitely a black guy who noticeably accelerated the train as soon as he spotted the impassioned lovers laying across the tracks, and he wouldn't have the Russian-bear-sized balls to permit himself to be nearly cut in half to enhance the verisimilitude of his tawdry truncation-by-train tale.
The survivor reportedly said that he and his girlfriend wanted to "experience an extreme sensation near the railroad tracks," but there's a difference between near the railroad tracks and ON the fucking railroad tracks; the difference, in case you aren't sure (or are Ukranian), is having a train go by right next to you while you're fucking versus getting run over by a train while you're fucking. It's subtle, I know, but an important distinction if you plan on doing this sort of thing more than once.
It's also possible, of course, that this incident really was sexual in nature, but just not quite as described by the survivor. If you're familiar with the damsel in distress literary cliché, it's not hard to imagine a couple wanting to engage in a little Perils of Pauline sex play that just got out of hand. Part of the thrill of being bound, after all, is giving over control to your partner – and what better way to demonstrate the depth of your trust than to allow your lover to not just tie you down, but tie you down to train tracks, to boot?
Maybe I'm being too harsh on this luckless (and possibly Lithuanian) Lothario; maybe things did go down just as he described. In that case, let his story be a cautionary tale for lovers everywhere, and especially those in former Soviet Republics: since Stalin kicked the bucket, the trains may no longer run on time, but, evidently, they do still run.
I, Chico Dusty, would like to just defend this stupid, stupid man by pointing out that he did lose both his legs.
It's not so much fishy, as it is just plain stupid. Unless losing his legs was a part of the murder plan…

Arian is a great representative of what's right with the NFL. Kudos to the Colts on their win Sunday. That Andrew Luck is going to go down in history as one of the greatest QBs who ever played the game.
Originally written on Next Impulse Sports | Last updated 12/30/12
Arian Foster honored Colts head coach Chuck Pagano, who returned to the Indianapolis sidelines on Sunday after completing treatment for leukemia, after his third quarter touchdown by heading over to the #ChuckStrong banner in the back of the endzone and giving it a little tap, followed by Foster's signature bow. Quite a classy and respectful move by Arian. Lot of props earned in my book. [The Big Lead] Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

NATO ministers mull Afghan drawdown
BRUSSELS NATO's top official joined the U.S. and France on Thursday in calling for Afghan forces to take the lead in all combat operations by mid-2013, a year earlier than originally expected, while Western troops would shift to back up roles in the fight against the Taliban.
Both U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and French President Nicolas Sarkozy have suggested in recent days that the coalition should gradually transition out of combat in 2013.
In 2010, NATO leaders agreed that Afghan forces would take control province by province until they have full responsibility for security in all of Afghanistan by the end of 2014. Until now, it was widely assumed that coalition troops would retain the lead role in military operations until that final handover.
But under the arrangement being discussed by NATO defense ministers in Brussels this week, coalition troops would no longer lead combat missions after mid- to late-2013, although they would still provide assistance to the Afghans.
Although some officials insisted publicly that the allies were united in the transition goals, a senior NATO official told reporters that there is some disagreement about the newly suggested timeframe.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss closed-door discussions, said the expectation is that no final decision on the timing is expected before the NATO summit in Chicago in May.
Speaking to reporters before the two-day meeting in Brussels, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Afghanistan remains the alliance's top operational priority, and that the coalition has been making progress in the war.
He said transition to Afghan security control, which started last year, will continue through mid-2013 with the Afghan army and police gradually taking the lead in all regions of the country.
"From that time the Afghan security forces are in the lead all over Afghanistan, and from that time the role of our troops will gradually change from combat to support," he said.
This process will conclude at the end of 2014, when most Western forces would withdraw, Fogh Rasmussen said. The allies are working on the details of a longterm partnership with Afghanistan, he said.
"But Afghans will not be left alone at the end of the transition process. We are committed to providing support to Afghanistan through transition and beyond," Fogh Rasmussen said.
British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said the allies were united on transition.
"We are actually all in the same place. We all recognized that in 2013 there will be an evolution of the mission, the Afghans will be having the lead responsibility for the security throughout the whole country," he said. "But we will remain there in the combat support role and we will continue to do so, in our case, until the end of 2014, and the USA has indicated that it may go longer than that."
Speaking to reporters on the flight to Brussels, Panetta said: "Hopefully by the mid to latter part of 2013 we'll be able to make a transition from a combat role to a training, advise and assist role."

- Crazy
- Nightlife
- Down Yonder
- Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys
- Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground
- On the Road Again
- Will the Circle Be Unbroken
- I'll Fly Away
Our YouTube channel has over 800 Farm Aid concert videos! Which ones should we post next?
