If you looked up and down the statistics of the Oak Harbor Lady Rockets softball team, there are several things you won't find.
You won't find a single player with a batting average anywhere near .400 or anyone with double-digit RBI totals. There has been exactly one home run hit for Oak Harbor in 18 games, and ironically, it came off the bat of the team's ace pitcher.
What you will find is a team that is 15-3 overall and sitting atop the Sandusky Bay Conference standings with an 10-2 mark, all while being guided by a first-year head coach not far removed from college.
"In the wins we've had, we've simply found a way to get the hits when we needed them," Lady Rockets head coach Ashlee Donahoo said of the lack of gaudy stats. "Our hitting has been very streaky, but when we play solid defense, put the ball in play and play our game... Then we play very well and fortunately we've been on the right side of that for most of this season.
"We have also had some luck go our way. There have been some games where calls have gone our way and found some bloop hits when we needed them. The girls don't let down either, they fight all the way to the end and that's something we haven't had here in the past couple years."
Donahoo, a 2000 Firelands High School graduate who played softball at the University of Findlay, had been the varsity assistant at Oak Harbor the past three seasons before taking the reigns this spring.
"I just want to relay to the girls my love of the game," Donahoo said about taking the head coaching position. "I love the game of softball and want to teach the girls the right way to do it and spread my knowledge around with them. I want to see them enjoy something that I got to enjoy growing up as well."
The offensive stats may not be eye-popping for Oak Harbor, but the pitching stats for senior ace Liz Weber certainly are.
Through Thursday, Weber is 14-2 on the mound and has an ERA of 0.84 with 158 strikeouts compared to just 27 walks in 108 innings of work. She has thrown a five-inning no-hitter to go along with the full seven-inning no hitter against St. Mary Central Catholic and Port Clinton, respectively.
In a Division II sectional championship win over Perkins Thursday, Weber fired a two-hit shutout to advance the team to a district semifinal against Clyde Tuesday.
"It's her senior year and she wants to have a successful season and has done that so far," Donahoo said of Weber. "I can't say enough good things about her because she's definitely the driving force to our defense.
"Just recently we were joking as a team that the few groundballs the defense got was the most action we've had in the field all year because every game she is out there averaging 10 strikeouts per game when we only need 21 outs or sometimes less than that. She's just very effective on the mound and we'll definitely miss her next year, that's for sure."
Offensively, Dayna Setzler leads the team with a .383 batting average through Thursday while Courtney Atwater leads the team with just eight RBIs. Julia Konieczny is batting .340 with seven RBIs and had just one strikeout through the team's first 14 games. Weber hit the team's only home run in a win over Port Clinton Thursday.
Oak Harbor opened the season with a 3-0 loss to Milbury Lake and reeled off 11 straight wins until a 5-0 loss to Margaretta April 26.
However, Donahoo singled out a 1-0 win over Clyde in late April as a turning point for her team.
"It was a huge win for us on many levels," she said. "It was just a well played, great game to be associated with and watch, but Clyde is also one of the top teams in the conference that obviously made state last year so it was a great win.
"I think our 3-2 win over Margaretta the first time we played them was big, too. We got the clutch hit when we needed it and they had just come off a win over Perkins and they are also one of the top teams in the conference. I think those two wins showed us we could compete with those top tier teams and it gave us a boost of confidence."
Oak Harbor is at Perkins today with a chance to clinch a share of the SBC crown and will play Clyde Tuesday in the district tournament game. It will finish the regular season Friday, playing Clyde once again.
The biggest key to the Rockets success this season, Donahoo said, is the underclassmen making the smooth transition to the varsity level.
"We've got quite a few juniors on the team and they were undefeated the past two years at the junior varsity level," Donahoo said. "But it is a big jump from JV to varsity and for the most part, they've accepted their roles nicely and done that."

WHEN a meeting is billed as determining the future of humanity, few will be surprised if it fails to live up to expectations. And so it is proving with next month's climate change conference in Copenhagen: the Danish government has announced that time has run out on the possibility of delegates securing a watertight successor to the 1997 Kyoto protocol (see "Climate deal delayed - again").
In truth, the downgrading of Copenhagen has been on the cards for months. The most it can now achieve is a political declaration that will lay the foundations for a concrete agreement to be formalised next year in Mexico City or in Bonn, Germany.
Though that delay may not spell certain catastrophe, every month's delay makes the task ahead more daunting. There are several immovable deadlines looming. The first is 1 January 2013, the day the Kyoto protocol expires. From then on, the ...

Fast-flowing creations by master of hand-drawn animation, Jake Fried
Seeing as it's nearly autumn and the sky is clouding over, I'll just take the liberty of whisking you away into a dark chasm of snowy trees, brick walls and terrifying woodland via the impressively fast-paced animations of Jake Fried. In his latest animation entitled Sick Leave, Jake drags us naked and screaming through a world made of ink and white-out to enjoy the scenery that he has so painstakingly created. It's not as torturous as it sounds, it's actually extremely enjoyable, and one of the most stubborn and original styles we've seen in a long time.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — Former Tyco executive Dennis Kozlowski was denied parole Thursday, according to a spokesman for the New York State Department of Corrections.
The fallen CEO was sentenced to 8-1/3 to 25 years in prison in 2005 for his part in stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from the manufacturing conglomerate (TYC).
A three-member parole board denied Kozlowski after a hearing held Wednesday, despite a clean disciplinary record and what the board called "progress and achievement" while incarcerated.
Kozlowski was informed of the decision Thursday.
"Your discretionary release, at this time," the decision said, would not be "compatible with the welfare of society at large, and would tend to deprecate the seriousness" of the offenses and "undermine respect for the law."
Kozlowski will next be eligible for parole in late 2013.
The parole ruling says Kozlowski is being held at the Lincoln Correctional Facility, a minimum security jail for males in Harlem — just north of Central Park in Manhattan.
Kozlowski was previously held at Mid-State Correctional Facility in Marcy, New York.

Michael Savage: Obama makes a man 'paranoid'
Posted By Drew Zahn On 02/10/2013 @ 5:46 pm In Front Page,Politics,U.S.,WND TV | No Comments
Government officials in cahoots with Islamist regimes, federal agencies buying up bullets, attempts by lawmakers to restrict private gun ownership – it's enough to make a man "paranoid," says radio host Michael Savage.
"Here's a news story for you: Hagel linked to Iran lobby," Savage said on his Friday program this past week, quoting a WND exclusive that revealed secretary of defense nominee Chuck Hagel's work for organizations that aid Iranian causes. "It doesn't get any worse than this."
"If you want to get paranoid, Obama can really help you in your work," Savage continued. "Why would Homeland Security be buying 22 million more rounds of ammunition? Can anyone explain that to me? I mean Big Sis Napolitano – why does she need 21.6 million more rounds of ammunition to add to the 1.6 billion bullets [DHS] has already obtained over the last 10 months?"
Several news agencies have reported a growing stockpile of ammunition by federal agencies unconnected to the U.S. military. No significant explanation has been offered for the massive acquisitions.
"This is shocking," Savage said. "I want to remind you of something: Hollow-point ammunition is outlawed by the United Nations. Why would they need 10 million .40-caliber [and] 10 million 9mm jacketed, hollow-point bullets? Tell me why."
Savage continued, "Now when you couple this with the fact that the DHS has secured over the last 10 months 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition, and now you couple that with Hagel linked to the Iranian lobby, now you couple that with the man who wants to take over the CIA who has suspicious relationships as well, now you couple that with Obama being a very, very strange fellow to say it in a very polite way – I'll tell you something. It will give you pause for thought, to put it mildly.
"Why would the Department of Homeland Security have purchased 1.6 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition over the last 10 months at the same time they're trying to disarm the average American citizen?" he asked.

4 BITS: Chris Walker, Casey Prather join other Florida Gators in 2015 NBA Summer League
1 » It may have taken a bit longer than others, but it appears as if Florida Gators center Chris Walker has found a home for the 2015 NBA Summer League. As first reported by FOX 26 sports director Mark Berman, Walker could join the Houston Rockets for summer league play in Las Vegas from July 10-20. OnlyGators.com has confirmed that Walker is listed on the roster the team submitted to the NBA of projected players, though we were cautioned that could change ahead of the event in two weeks if the team does not like what it sees in tryouts. A league source has also told OnlyGators.com that forward Casey Prather will be a member of the NBA D-League select team after succeeding as a member of the Bakersfield Jam last season.

In my earlier post I suggested that traditionally farming was men's work and post-harvest processing women's work.
That may be the general pattern. There are lots of exceptions though. Women do a whole lot of farming, including the staples in many societies. Men do a lot of post-harvest processing, threshing of grains, for example. In Hawaii men traditionally cooked the sacred staple, taro. Preparing was forbidden to women, though in fact they apparently did so when there were no men about.
In Mexico, though, although women helped farm, men did not grind. Absolutely not. The women who taught me to grind progressed from amazement to nervous titters to outright hilarity when men friends of mine tried their hand at it.

The Secret Servant (Gabriel Allon Novels) (edition 2008)
by Daniel Silva
Work details
The Secret Servant by Daniel Silva
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Following right in the footsteps of the previous Silva entry, this one ratchets up the tension somewhat as Allon seems to be more emotionally involved in the kidnapping of a diplomat's daughter. This pursuit leads to the discovery of a massive terror plot, and the culimination of these events near the end of the book make for a fast, exciting read. Silva is really in stride with the character of Gabriel Allon and what his limitations and capabilities are.
Quite a guilty pleasure, these Gabrielle Allon books. Israeli James Bond with a conscience, no frivolous sex and always ready to sacrifice himself. You can guess who the bad guys are.
Anyway, after four books, I've figured Silva out. For this book, I skipped the setup chapters, much of which is a recounting of previous books or re-introduction of characters anyway, and went straight to where the action gets going. And when I've had as much as I can take, I quit before the wrap-up ... until the next Allon book on my reading list.
A disadvantage of series novels is the amount of exposition some authors feel they need to include to explain relationships and actions from past stories that affect the current book. The clunky technique of dropping exposition into dialogue and the plot slows things down. Maybe there's no other way, unless you exclude it and trust the reader to deduce a few more things on their own. The Secret Servant is front-loaded with a ton of inelegant exposition, and it detracts from the story.
Another problem is that I spent the first quarter of the book being unconvinced and thinking "that wouldn't happen" or "they wouldn't do or say that." I've read Silva's books in the past and don't remember if this is just his style. So after I fought my way through those distractions, the plot picked up and became readable.
Silva obviously does his research and pays attention to the details and methods of the intelligence and governmental organizations he writes about, and when he gets to the action scenes, he does them well. But trying to flesh out the life of his recurring character, Gabriel Allon, while telling a detailed and nuanced story, seems like a kind of torture in itself and doesn't serve the story within the novel.
Many thanx to Donna828 for turning me on to Daniel Silva! I love Gabriel Allon! He's a hero, but he's real enough to get his butt kicked in the process. I liked him in The Messenger, but I'm hooked now and ready for the next one.
Silva does a magnificent job of using current headlines and trends to make his plots believable. I like that he explains at the end of the book that he made up many of the places and organizations in the book so that conspiracy theorists can recognize that this really is fiction. :)
Silva also gets the dialogue right. Books are so much better when characters speak like real people! Phil Gigante's narration is great.
I found this work to be very current to our post-911 age. Having read one of Silva's novels years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see how well he continually writes in this genre. Toward the end of the novel, Gabriel's revenge tends to take some time, and that's the only negative I can think of.

Amazon Exclusive Essay: Daniel Silva on Gabriel Allon and the "Accidental Series"
Writers tend to be solitary creatures. We toil alone for months on end, then, once a year, we emerge from our dens to publish a book. It can be a daunting experience, especially for someone like me, who is not gregarious and outgoing by nature. But there is one aspect of promotion I truly love: meeting my readers and answering their questions. During each stop on my book tour, I reserve the bulk of my time for a lively conversation with the audience. I learn much from these encounters-indeed, some of the comments are so insightful they take my breath away. There is one question I am asked each night without fail, and it remains my favorite: "How in the world did you ever think of Gabriel Allon?" The answer is complicated. In one sense, he was the result of a long, character-construction process. In another, he was a bolt from the blue. I'll try to explain.
In 1999, after publishing The Marching Season, the second book in the Michael Osbourne series, I decided it was time for a change. We were nearing the end of the Clinton administration, and the president was about to embark on a last-ditch effort to bring peace to the Middle East. I had the broad outlines of a story in mind: a retired Israeli assassin is summoned from retirement to track down a Palestinian terrorist bent on destroying the Oslo peace process. I thought long and hard before giving the Israeli a name. I wanted it to be biblical, like my own, and to be heavy with symbolism. I finally decided to name him after the archangel Gabriel. As for his family name, I chose something short and simple: Allon, which means "oak tree" in Hebrew. I liked the image it conveyed. Gabriel Allon: God's angel of vengeance, solid as an oak.
Gabriel's professional résumé-the operations he had carried out-came quickly. But what about his other side? What did he like to do in his spare time? What was his cover? I knew I wanted something distinct. Something memorable. Something that would, in many respects, be the dominant attribute of his character. I spent many frustrating days mulling over and rejecting possibilities. Then, while walking along one of Georgetown's famous redbrick sidewalks, my wife, Jamie, reminded me that we had a dinner date that evening at the home of David Bull, a man regarded as one of the finest art restorers in the world. I stopped dead in my tracks and raised my hands toward the heavens. Gabriel Allon was complete. He was going to be an art restorer, and a very good one at that.
Over my objections, the book was entitled The Kill Artist and it would go on to become a New York Times bestseller. It was not, however, supposed to be the first book in a long-running series. But once again, fate intervened. In 2000, after moving to G.P. Putnam & Sons, my new publishers asked me what I was working on. When I mumbled something about having whittled it down to two or three options, they offered their first piece of advice. They really didn't care what it was about, they just wanted one thing: Gabriel Allon.
I then spent the next several minutes listing all the reasons why Gabriel, now regarded as one of the most compelling and successful continuing characters in the mystery-thriller genre, should never appear in a second book. I had conceived him as a "one off" character, meaning he would be featured in one story and then ride into the sunset. I also thought he was too melancholy and withdrawn to build a series around, and, at nearly fifty years of age, perhaps a bit too old as well. My biggest concern, however, had to do with his nationality and religion. I thought there was far too much opposition to Israel in the world-and far too much raw anti-Semitism-for an Israeli continuing character ever to be successful in the long term.
My new publishers thought otherwise, and told me so. Because Gabriel lived in Europe and could pass as German or Italian, they believed he came across as more "international" than Israeli. But what they really liked was Gabriel's other job: art restoration. They found the two opposing sides of his character-destroyer and healer-fascinating. What's more, they believed he would stand alone on the literary landscape. There were lots of CIA officers running around saving the world, they argued, but no former Israeli assassins who spent their spare time restoring Bellini altarpieces.
The more they talked, the more I could see their point. I told them I had an idea for a story involving Nazi art looting during the Second World War and the scandalous activities of Swiss banks. "Write it with Gabriel Allon," they said, "and we promise it will be your biggest-selling book yet." Eventually, the book would be called The English Assassin, and, just as Putnam predicted, it sold twice as many copies as its predecessor. Oddly enough, when it came time to write the next book, I still wasn't convinced it should be another Gabriel novel. Though it seems difficult to imagine now, I actually conceived the plot of The Confessor without him in mind. Fortunately, my editor, Neil Nyren, saved me from myself. The book landed at #5 on the New York Times bestseller list and received some of the warmest reviews of my career. After that, a series was truly born.
I am often asked whether it is necessary to read the novels in sequence. The answer is no, but it probably doesn't hurt, either. For the record, the order of publication is The Kill Artist, The English Assassin, The Confessor, A Death in Vienna, Prince of Fire, The Messenger, The Secret Servant, and Moscow Rules, my first #1 New York Times bestseller. The Defector pits Gabriel in a final, dramatic confrontation with the Russian oligarch and arms dealer Ivan Kharkov, and I have been told it far surpasses anything that has come before it in the series. And to think that, if I'd had my way, only one Gabriel Allon book would have been written. I remain convinced, however, that had I set out in the beginning to create him as a continuing character, I would surely have failed. I have always believed in the power of serendipity. Art, like life, rarely goes according to plan. Gabriel Allon is proof of that.

Gabriel Allon investigates clues pertaining to an Amsterdam-based terrorism analyst who was murdered by a Muslim immigrant, in a case with ties to a terrorist organization and the abduction of an ambassador's daughter.

Let's be bold together. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
I'm secure and happy with myself, but … life is meant for 2! I'm a happy single and live a fulfilling life. However, it would be great meeting you and seeing where it may lead us. A little bit about me: I enjoy traveling (domestic and international), tent camping within our beautiful state parks, downhill skiing, enjoying our local theatre, hiking and biking our miles and miles of trails, and trying new things. I am self-sufficient, ethical, and optimistic with a great sense of humor. My family and friends are very important to me. I'm attracted to someone who is intellectually curious, shares similar values and goals, dependable and loyal, and financially stable. I'm looking for a man who will emotionally support me, yet still tell me if I'm wrong and will want me to do the same for him. I'd enjoy getting to know you to see what happens. Contact me. Sharon

A FEW kilometres is a long way in meteorology. For example in Scotland, usually thought of as the frostbitten extremity of Britain, subtropical plants grow near Stranraer in Dumfries and Galloway, while only a few kilometres away the hills are often capped by snow in the winter. Now a computer model developed at the University of Leeds can forecast how the microclimate of an area will differ from that of another just 5 kilometres away.
The model was developed by John Turner, who is professor of genetics at the University of Leeds and a keen lepidopterist. He was interested in how local climate affects the habitats of butterflies.
Unlike standard meteorological maps, which portray the weather as if the entire area were at sea level, the Leeds model takes into account each location's altitude, its distance from the sea, the slope, and 13 other topographical factors which affect the local ...

GOP House candidate says Sansom has to go
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
A Republican candidate for a House seat in Pinellas County is calling on Ray Sansom to resign from the Legislature.
Fabian Calvo owns a Real Estate Investment Trust and a property management company in Clearwater. He also hosts a daily radio show on WTAN 1340 AM in the afternoon.
And heâs now one of three candidates to enter the District 45 seat currently held by Tom Anderson of Dunedin, who will leave the seat next year because of term limits.
Calvo says that Sansom, currently awaiting trial on charges of perjury in connection with his handing of millions of dollars in public money for a project at Northwest Florida State College that benefited a friend and financial donor, must go.
Other candidates in the House 45 race include attorney Richard Corcoran and Pasco School Board member Kathryn Starkey.comments powered by Disqus

Rated 3 out of 5�by Elitefishermen1 Best rod ever owned until eyelets broke Bought this rod as I wanted to get something more expensive that wouldn't break and last a long time. I have bought rods from shimano and carrot stix that were high quality rods for a few months and then would snap on a hookset or cast . I had this rod for 2 months and it has landed me a couple 6+ pounders and one day as I went to cast, the first two eyelets snapped. This rod was not in any missue. Overall, I was very disappointed that the rod eyelets snapped and more money wasted, I love Abu Garcia but their rods need some work! July 5, 2013

The Sag Harbor Village Planning Board has not yet decided whether a proposal to expand the Harbor Heights Service Station on Route 114 has the potential to cause a significant environmental impact. So on Tuesday night, the board asked developers to provide more information. Specifically, they'd like to see more detail in terms of traffic, noise and the impact the project could have on the character of the surrounding residential neighborhood.
Owner John Leonard has proposed to demolish the existing Harbor Heights building and construct a new gas station and convenience store on the property. He is also proposing to slightly expand the adjoining Sag Harbor Service Station and move gas pump islands further into the property.
While the project has had support, it has also been met with opposition by some neighbors as well as the not-for-profit Save Sag Harbor. That group recently hired East Hampton attorney Jeff Bragman to represent them while the planning and zoning boards review's Leonard's application.
Before the zoning board of appeals can weigh in on a number of variances needed for Leonard to move forward — most importantly deciding whether or not he should be able to construct a convenience store several hundred square-feet larger than what is allowed under the village code — the planning board must determine if the project should be subject to comprehensive environmental review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act.
On Tuesday night, the planning board continued that debate, with Bragman seated in the audience taking notes.
Leonard's engineer, Chris Tartaglia, presented a new landscape plan that doubles the number of white pines Leonard proposes to plant around the perimeter of the property. Tartaglia said Leonard has also agreed to eliminate a number of perimeter lights and presented a noise study that he said showed once the Sag Harbor Service Station is able to move much of its work indoors, as proposed, noise levels will be reduced.
Tartaglia added that any new noise generated from people using the store or gas station at extended hours falls below a decibel level the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) deems "an adverse noise impact."
Sag Harbor Village Environmental Planning Consultant Rich Warren said he would also like to see a study that addresses the potential noise impact when considering the ambient noise levels of the residential neighborhood. As the project moves the station further onto the property and towards houses, that should be assessed, said Warren.
In terms of other impacts, board member Gregory Ferraris said he would like to see details presented on a drainage trench meant to catch stormwater runoff, but also oil in the event of a spill, in order to ensure Havens Beach would be protected if such an event occurred.
Board chairman Neil Slevin said he would like the village's historic preservation and architectural review board (ARB) to weigh in on the impact the project could have on the character of the neighborhood and aesthetic resources. He noted that resident Elinor Spalten had sent in photographs of a similar station and store in Georgia and that the images had an impact he would like the ARB to discuss.
While a traffic report states that the project is expected to increase car trips to the property by 10 cars in the morning and 15 in the evening hours, Slevin questioned whether or not traffic would increase more because of the addition of the store.
"I don't think people will come from somewhere else just to go to the convenience store," said board member Jack Tagliasachhi.
"I think we would be kidding ourselves to think there would be no increase in traffic as a result of this project," said Ferraris.
Tartaglia's study, said Warren, states that only three additional cars would come to the improved station if it includes a store. Warren said the board could ask for a study based on local stations rather than the industry standard.
The next Sag Harbor Village Planning Board meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 22 at 5 :30 p.m.

|Jerrell Powe DT Ole Miss
|Ht: 6'2″
Wt: 335
|Prototypical size for a nose tackle. A space eater who can take on multiple blockers and hold his ground. Strong against the run.
|Limited athleticism. Doesn't provide much of a pass rush. Probably limited to playing nose tackle at the next level. Won't be a great fit for every defensive scheme. Struggled with academics throughout his career; ruled academically ineligible on multiple occasions. Suffers from dyslexia which contributed to his struggles in school. Already 24 years old.
|Powe's ability to play nose tackle will make him an intriguing prospect for teams looking to fill that hole in the draft, however, his lack of versatility limits his value. In the right system he could flourish, but some teams may not have a place for him. Teams will want to learn more about his academic struggles, specifically about how it may impact his ability to learn an NFL playbook.

Fire Protection Research Foundation report: "Lithium-Ion Batteries Hazard and Use Assessment"
Author: Celina Mikolajczak, P.E., Michael Kahn, Ph.D., Kevin White, Ph.D., and Richard Thomas Long, P.E., Exponents Failure Analysis Associates, Inc.
Date of issue: July 2011
Lithium ion batteries are in widespread use in consumer electronics. As electric vehicles enter the U.S. marketplace, there is an expectation of a step increase in the number and size of battery packs in storage and use. The Foundation's Property Insurance Research Group initiated a study of the hazards associated with lithium ion battery storage, with an aim of developing fire protection strategies to mitigate loss associated with fire incidence with these batteries in bulk storage and distribution, alone and in manufactured products.
The overall aim is to develop the technical basis for requirements in NFPA and other standards which prescribe protection requirements.
The first phase of the project, described in this report, is a literature review of battery technology, failure modes and events, usage, codes and standards, and a hazard assessment during the life cycle of storage and distribution. It lays out a research approach toward evaluating appropriate facility fire protection strategies.

"Sixteen-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is "highly accurate" in the detection of in-stent restenoses and can be more accurate than coronary angiography in some cases. When compared with the accuracy of coronary angiography it was found that the 16-slice MDCT could detect in-stent restenosis with high accuracy. It is a promising method for noninvasive assessment of in-stent restenosis."

MEA and others file lawsuit to invalidate illegal 'right-to-work' law
Lawsuit: Michigan Legislature violated Open Meetings Act by passing right-to-work bills while citizens were illegally barred from entering Capitol
EAST LANSING, Mich., Feb. 1, 2013 — Michigan's new "right-to-work" law should be overturned because the state Legislature violated state and federal open government laws when passing it, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the Michigan Education Association and others in Ingham County Circuit Court.
Without a single public hearing, the state House and Senate passed legislation on the afternoon of Dec. 6 to make Michigan a right-to-work state. Simultaneously that afternoon, state police barred citizens from entering the Capitol, despite state law that requires the Capitol to remain open when the Legislature is in session. In addition, partisan legislative staffers were also ordered to fill the public galleries in the House and Senate to stop regular citizens from observing the votes.
According to the lawsuit, Michigan lawmakers violated the Michigan Open Meetings Act, the state Constitution and the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"By allowing state police to block citizens from entering the Capitol, Lansing politicians not only violated the basic American principles of open and transparent government, they also violated specific state and federal laws designed to protect the rights of citizens," MEA President Steven Cook said. "We're confident the courts will agree that the Legislature's actions on the afternoon of Dec. 6 constituted a clear violation of the Open Meetings Act and should be invalidated."
The Michigan Open Meetings Act requires that "[a]ll decisions of a public body shall be made at a meeting open to the public." It also states that a "decision made by a public body may be invalidated if the public body has not complied" with the act.
Joining the MEA in the lawsuit is the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, along with a coalition of labor unions and citizen watchdogs.

Why are Newborns Screened for CF?
Why is it important to screen for cystic fibrosis (CF) at birth?
It is important to diagnose CF early, so that CF health care providers can help parents learn ways to keep their child as healthy as possible and delay problems related to CF. Research shows that children who receive CF care early in life have better nutrition and are healthier than those who are diagnosed later. Good nutrition in CF is important for overall health and well-being.What does the CF newborn screening test check for?
The CF screening test checks for a chemical made by the pancreas, an organ that helps with digestion. This chemical is called immunoreactive trypsinogen, or IRT. It is normally found in small amounts in the body.
When the pancreas is stressed before a baby is born, more IRT is released into the baby's blood. The IRT can be high if a baby is premature or had a stressful delivery, or for other reasons. The IRT tends to be high in people who have CF.
However, most states now do a second blood test on the first newborn screening blood sample to check for changes in the gene that causes cystic fibrosis.
Yes. Each state's CF newborn screening program begins with a test on blood from a baby. In some states, a second blood test is done when your baby is about two weeks old to find out if the IRT level is still high. This is called an IRT-only method of newborn screening.
A newborn-screening method called IRT-DNA, provides more information about how likely it is that a baby has CF. It is important to remember that even this DNA testing is still only a "screen" for CF. It is not a diagnosis.
Your baby's newborn screening report will show whether genetic testing was done and what the results are.
How can I tell which screening method my state uses: IRT-only or IRT-DNA?
All 50 states and the District of Columbia screen newborns for CF, but the method for screening may differ from state to state. Using the map below, click on the state where your baby was born to see which newborn screening method is used.
For IRT-only states, how was my baby screened?
If your baby was born in an IRT-only state and had a high IRT level on the first blood test, he or she will need to have the IRT test repeated at your pediatrician's office. In many IRT only states, all babies routinely have a repeat newborn screening test (blood test) when they are about two weeks old.
If the IRT remains high on the second test, you will be asked to bring your baby to a CF Foundation-accredited care center for a sweat test to find out whether or not your baby has CF.
For IRT-DNA states, how was my baby screened?
If your baby was born in an IRT-DNA state and had a high IRT level on the first blood test, he or she will automatically have a blood test to check for changes, or mutations, in the CF gene.
Based on your baby's newborn screening results, you may be asked to bring your baby to a CF Foundation-accredited care center for sweat testing.
The number of CF gene mutations found in your baby's newborn screen helps to find out how likely it is your baby has CF. Your baby's newborn screening report may list how many and what kind of mutations were found on the newborn screening result.
Does newborn screening find all babies who are CF carriers (meaning they have only one CF gene mutation)?
No. CF newborn screening finds babies who have cystic fibrosis. However, some states include DNA testing for some CF gene mutations. The DNA test may find some but not all babies who are CF carriers. If you have questions, please contact a CF Foundation-accredited care center or talk with your doctor.

Comments about Tony Lama Women's 3R Series Roper Boots:
My boyfriend got these for me for my birthday and I must say, the pictures on here do not do these boots justice! They are much cuter in person and I have gotten many compliments on them. I am also able to dress them up or down. To top it off, they are Tony Lamas and the comfort is off the charts. I wore them for three days straight at a country music camp-outing and did not experience one blister, hot spot, or a bit of discomfort the entire time (while everyone else I was with was experiencing issues with their Ariats :P...which I do like too). I would highly recommend these boots to anyone!

This is a very good wax, I've actually used the paste and the liquid. Both waxes give a very nice slick shine. The paste get the job done quicker, but you can put the paste over the entire automobile instead of doing a panel at a time then remove it and get an even slicker finish, and with the liquid after it haze you're going have an awesome wet look as well. You can't go wrong with either wax !

Dr. Helen Caldicott was born on August 7th in Melbourne, Australia. She was raised in Australia most of her life. She went to school and studied to be a physician. She devoted herself to the treatment of children with cystic fibrosis. She is a wife and a mother of three children. She was an instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School, specializing in cystic fibrosis. She was also on the staff of the Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. She tells an interesting story about herself which gives us insight into her beliefs and value system. When she was nineteen she read a book that changed her life. It was called On the Beach. An Australian writer wrote it. It is the story of the final months in the lives of five people living in a world that had been hit by a nuclear bomb. It took place in the city where she grew up. She knew personally the places described in the book. It really frightened her. She had already decided to become a doctor, but after reading this book it really confirmed it. She said, "I just couldn't go through medical school and settle into a nice, cozy, well-paid niche somewhere, as doctors in Australia were apt to do. I wanted a husband and a family, certainly, but somewhere in me was a conviction that I had other work to do as well. When I read that book, I started to realize what that work might be."
She was a woman of great accomplishment. She has accomplished in a few short years, what all of us put together could never do in a lifetime. She has devoted the last 25 years to an international campaign to educate the public about the medical hazards of the nuclear age, and the necessary changes in human behavior to stop environmental destruction. In 1971, Dr. Caldicott played a major role in Australia's opposition to French atmospheric nuclear testing in the Pacific. In 1975, she worked with the Australian trade union to educate members about nuclear testing. Also in 1975, she founded the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at Adelaide Children's Hospital. In 1978, while living in the United States, she founded the Physicians Social Responsibility. This is an organization of 23,000 doctors committed to educating their colleagues about the dangers of nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and nuclear war. In 1980, she founded the Women's Action for Nuclear Disarmament. She returned to Australia in 1987, where she ran for Federal Parliament, as an independent. She defeated the leader of the national party, but lost the overall election by 600 votes. She currently resides in Long Island, New York.
Dr. Caldicott has also won many honors, prizes, and awards for her work. She has been a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, a winner of the Peace Medal Award, Integrity Award, Peace Award, SANE Award, Ghandi Peace Prize, the Norman Cousins Award for Peace-making, and the Margaret Mead Award.
She has also written several books. Some of them include Nuclear Madness, If You Love This Planet, and A Desperate Passion. She has also been the subject of several films, including, Eight Minutes to Midnight, which was nominated for an Academy Award in 1982, and If You Love This Planet, which won an academy award in 1983 for best documentary.
We would like to share a few quotes from addresses she has given that give a little insight on what she believes. "If World War II were fought today, Europe would become uninhabitable for the rest of time. Why? Because all the nuclear reactors would melt down. It only takes a very tiny explosive to destroy them."
"Your tax dollars should be used for you and your children-and not to build bombs to blow up the Earth."
"One chlorine atom eats up about 100,000 molecules of ozone over time. If the space program goes on as planned over the next 10 years, it could indeed destroy 10% of the ozone layer in Australia. Malignant melanoma has doubled in the last ten years. Each 1% decrease in ozone is a 5% increase in skin cancer. Therefore, we've got to stop destroying the ozone."
"The Pentagon is obsolete. There is no enemy. The Cold War is over. All America needs to protect itself is the Coast Guard so the Pentagon can be disbanded. A lot of the expertise can be transferred to the United Nations."

10. Mark Schwarzer (Unattached to Chelsea) - Free
The sensational Australian international was released by Fulham at the end of 2012-13 and fellow London club, Chelsea were on the look-out for a back-up goalkeeper for Petr Cech after releasing Ross Turnbull.
The Blues moved promptly to complete a move for Schwarzer on a free transfer with the player delighted with the deal, acknowledging Chelsea to be one of the biggest clubs in Europe. He would provide the perfect back-up option that Chelsea have been searching for years.

CAAH was formed in November 1993 as a result of the Governor's Interagency Council on Homelessness and incorporated in 1998 to better fulfill its role as the "Continuum of Care" (CoC) agency for the seven parish area of the Capital Area Human Services District II. From its inception, CAAH membership has been open to any organization or individual involved or interested in the alleviation of homelessness.
CAAH members provide Emergency Shelter, Transitional Housing, and Permanent Supportive Housing for chronically homeless individuals, persons with a range of disabilities, and families experiencing homelessness for the first time. In addition to housing, our members offer a range of services that include outreach to the homeless, behavioral health referrals, substance abuse treatment, veterans services, life skills training, job training/placement, youth shelters, and literacy/GED classes. Since 1996 CAAH agencies have received over $20,000,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's McKinney-Vento Supportive Housing Program.
The first McKinney-Vento award included funding for Options Foundation's "Project Shines," St. Anthony's House, O'Brien House Main Street Shelter, and the Transitional Housing Program at Salvation Army. These projects served clients suffering from mental illness, substance abuse, and HIV. Each of these projects and agencies still serve the homeless in Baton Rouge. Subsequent years saw funding for outreach to the homeless (Bishop Ott Day Program for Women and the VOA Drop In Center), homeless families (Urban Restoration's "Home Sharing" and VOA's "Housing Families First"), runaway youth (Youth Oasis), and formerly incarcerated (Catholic Charities' Joseph Homes).
CAAH and its members continue to address homelessness and its root causes. CAAH members have responded to the shortage of affordable housing in Baton Rouge. Member agencies have moved into the housing development arena with over 150 units either completed or under construction. Alliance members responded to the Hurricanes of 2005 and re-housed many Katrina/Rita evacuees. Nine agencies received Homeless Prevention Rehousing Program funds through the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act and are now working to alleviate housing crises that have occurred as a result of the recession.
Another major accomplishment is the implementation of our Homeless Management Information System which became operational on November 1, 2004. We now have a tool that enables us to document the number of homeless persons and the services they received. This HUD mandated system prevents duplication of services and provides data for the national Annual Homeless Assessment Report that goes to Congress.
The Capital Area Alliance for the Homeless constantly seeks to improve its efforts. This led to the development of a One Stop Homeless Services Center which opened on November 10, 2011. Capital Area Alliance for the Homeless and its partner providers welcome and offer services to 130 homeless clients daily offering programs to address the barriers to housing. Our state of the art facility streamlines the process of re-housing homeless families and individuals by locating a broad range of services at one location.
