My wife and I are now enrolled in full-time college, and with 3yr old twin boys and a 4 week old baby girl, it's near impossible for me to go to CARE (drug rehab). They want me to go to CARE once a month and a drug counseling class once a week, but I cannot do that as it will affect the lively hood of my family. I told him this, and he wants me to try to get my children in daycare so I can do all of this, but I think that still won't be enough. What are my rights if I try to refuse?

Best answer
It depends. If you agreed to a case plan, or were ordered by the court to complete a case plan after an adjudicatory hearing, then your failure to complete the case plan in a timely manner will either result in the case plan being extended, or in a worst case scenario a petition being filed to terminate your parental rights. If you haven't agreed to a case plan or been ordered to complete one and these are just things that DCF is suggesting they want you to do, you need to consult with your attorney on how to respond. If you don't have an attorney, you can ask the court to appoint one for you if you are financially unable to afford one.
An attorney-client relationship is NOT created by the answering of this question. If you would like to discuss your matter more fully with my office, please contact me to set up an initial consultation.
Family Law Attorney
You may lose your kids! Then you have nobody to work for. So I recommend that you hire a local dependency attorney. This is not to be taken lightly. Also, if you have three small children, it is not in their best interest to have a parent who uses drugs. Look at it from DCFs perspective. I urge you to get help

Who Are The Long-Term Unemployed? (In 3 Graphs)
Originally published on Thu February 6, 2014 11:54 am
When you are out of work and looking for 27 weeks or longer, you become part of a group the Bureau of Labor Statistics calls long-term unemployed. The share of long-term unemployed workers hit its peak in May 2010, when 46 percent of the unemployed were long-term unemployed. It has hovered around 40 percent of the unemployed in the three years since.
In tonight's State of the Union address, the president is expected to talk about helping the long-term unemployed. He is expected to press big American companies to pledge not to discriminate against them when they're hiring. Dow Chemical, Bank of America and Xerox have reportedly already signed the president's pledge.
That got us wondering, who are the long-term unemployed?
One thing to note — this is a rough measure. It doesn't distinguish between meaningful employment and seasonal employment. That means workers who happen to pick up a shift or two somewhere or find a job for a season won't appear in these numbers.

They announced the waiver claim during a rain delay in Detroit on Wednesday. Seattle designated Wells for assignment March 31, when the Mariners kept Jason Bay as a backup outfielder. Wells hit .228 with 10 home runs in 93 games last year in his first full season with Seattle. He played for Detroit in 2010 and at the start of 2011 before being traded to the Mariners in a midseason deal that sent right-hander Doug Fister to the Tigers.

The Prologue
In 1918 up to forty million people died of a disease that circled the globe � more than died in the Great War itself and more than died of bubonic plague in the epidemic that swept across Europe in the 14th century. They died of a particularly virulent form of pneumonia, which caused their lungs to fill with blood and mucous until they could no longer breathe and effectively drowned in their own secretions. In the United States, the disease affected so many people - one quarter of the entire population � that in certain areas there was a shortage of coffins and gravediggers. Panic was such that travel between certain towns and cities was banned without certified permission. The epidemic alone was responsible for lowering the average life expectancy in the USA by ten years. The disease was influenza.
I had a little bird,
Its name was Enza.
I opened the window,
And in-flu-enza
Children�s skipping rhyme
from the time.
It is estimated that one fifth of the world�s population was affected by the influenza pandemic of 1918 � 1919, its spread mediated by troops returning home from the war in Europe. Of those American soldiers who fell in Europe, half their number succumbed to influenza rather than enemy fire.
The great influenza pandemic is now beyond living memory to all but a handful of the world�s population but the disease itself is as familiar as the common cold. In fact, the two viruses are often confused - particularly by those seeking to excuse their absence from work � flu sounds just a little more serious than a cold.
Influenza breaks out every winter but is not considered a deadly disease - except perhaps for the very frail or very old - but it still retains the potential to wreak havoc as it did nearly a century ago. The flu virus is a master of disguise, constantly changing the structure of its protein coat and challenging the human immune system in being the equivalent of a moving target. These almost annual changes lead to a situation where the virus will be more virulent in some years than in others � 1957 and 1968 were particularly �bad� years although both pale into insignificance when compared to the ravages of the 1918 strain.
In recent times it has been possible for scientists to study and �reconstruct� the pandemic strain from biological material recovered from the preserved tissue of dead American soldiers who died of flu after returning from the First World War. The wisdom of doing this has been questioned in some quarters and although the scientists concerned claim that such studies will help them to understand the virus better, there are those who suggest that creating a monster in order to understand it is irresponsible in the extreme.
There are also arguments over the level of containment necessary for experimentation with such a dangerous virus and unease expressed over the decision of certain workers to downgrade the requirement from BL-4 (the highest level of containment possible requiring workers to wear full-cover body suits and hoods - to BL-3, a lower grade involving �half suits�. The argument against downgrading is simple. If a laboratory worker should contract the disease and take it out of the lab, flu is so infectious that it would spread like wildfire. If the transport systems of 1918 permitted the virus to reach every corner of the globe, how much more convenient would it find travel in the 21st century? Once the genii is out of the bottle, they maintain, global disaster must surely follow.
The existence of the 1918 strain � even if held in secure laboratories � brings the spectre of terrorist threat into the equation. Pandemic flu would be a fearsome weapon in the hands of those whose only motive is the destruction of Western society. A flu pandemic would disrupt the functioning of the entire civilised world.
As with all virus- caused disease, prevention is better than cure. Antiviral drugs are still in their infancy and nowhere near as effective as antibiotics are in the fight against bacteria. Antibiotics are ineffectual against viruses � although misunderstandings about this still arise. People suffering from viral disease are often prescribed antibiotics, leading to the belief that this is to combat the virus. It is not. The antibiotics are given to prevent secondary bacterial infection moving in and causing complications e.g. bronchitis or streptococcal throat infection. When it comes to fighting viral diseases, tender loving care and the antibodies present in the body�s immune system are the only weapons in the human armoury.
It therefore follows that prevention through vaccination � wherever possible - is the best way to tackle viral disease Vaccination has proved very effective in wiping out killer diseases of the past. Smallpox has been completely eradicated and polio is no longer the scourge it once was. Influenza however, with its ever changing protein coat presents the vaccine designer with special problems. A vaccine effective against last year�s flu virus might well prove useless against this year�s variant. This leads to annual decisions having to be made by medical authorities over which strains to include in the vaccine for the following winter.
Best guess science.
These decisions have to be made early in the year because of the long process involved in flu vaccine production. The chosen virus strains (typically three) have to be grown up in fertile chicken eggs � some 90 million of them � over the course of several months before being harvested and processed prior to distribution into injection vials for the immunisation of between 12 and thirty million people. Approximately one week after vaccination, the B-cells and T-cells of the human immune system will be ready to do battle with the flu virus � provided the scientists guessed right.
Whatever the merits of the scientific study of the 1918 strain, one outcome has been to illustrate just how little genetic difference there is between it and the avian flu viruses that have been causing havoc in bird populations in South East Asia in recent years. It has even been suggested that the 1918 virus itself arose from a mutation in a bird flu strain, which enabled it to cross the species barrier. There is little comfort to be gleaned from further research that indicates that there is actually very little in the way of a species barrier to prevent avian strains crossing to human hosts and cases of avian flu in the human population are already being recorded. Many scientists now believe the re-emergence of a pandemic flu strain to be inevitable. A case of when rather than if. They warn that every effort should be put into vaccine design with this in mind.
While scientists may disagree about many things concerned with the flu virus, there is general agreement that time is not on our side. An effective vaccine is the only conceivable defence against the threat of another pandemic - whether it materialise through natural mutation of a human strain, genetic variation of an avian strain or through malicious intent. But the will and the resources to come up with one have to be in place. Flu vaccine production is an expensive, risky business at the best of times and unpopular among the dwindling number of pharmaceutical companies willing to take it on. The commercial risks are great and compliance with the myriad regulations surrounding production very demanding. There can be no guarantee that a �1918 strain�, reconstructed specifically for vaccine production, would provide protection against the variant of the virus that finally appears. The slightest of antigenic changes in that virus might render such a vaccine useless.
In addition to this uncertainty, it is not unknown for production problems to arise during the long and delicate manufacturing process of flu vaccine. If such problems cannot be eliminated quickly, there will almost certainly be neither the time nor the resources necessary to start over, leaving the pharmaceutical company facing large losses without compensation.
In October 2004, Chiron, a major flu vaccine supplier based in Liverpool, encountered a problem with bacterial contamination in the vaccine they were preparing for the following winter. Despite their best efforts, the company failed to eradicate it and the British authorities were forced to withdraw their license.
Forty million doses had to be destroyed without recompense.
As Chiron had been one of only two manufacturers contracted to supply flu vaccine to the American market by the US Food and Drug Administration, the USA suffered a severe shortage of flu vaccine in the winter of 2004 � 05 � something that even became an American election issue with Senator John Kerry accusing President George W. Bush of failing to protect the vulnerable of US society. Ironically the UK government had licensed six companies to provide flu vaccine so the shortfall was not as marked in the UK.
It is against this factual backdrop that the fictional �THE LAZARUS STRAIN� has been written.

KEN McCLURE: THE LAZARUS STRAIN (Allison and Busby HB/PB)
When a top research institute is broken into and vandalized, the police believe that it is animal rights activists taking things a step too far. That is until they discover one of the institute's eminent scientists, Tim Devon, brutally murdered. Dr Steven Dunbar, working for the Sci-Med Inspectorate, an elite government agency, is sent to investigate. A few of the dead scientists' research animals have also gone missing and top level authorities are strangely obsessed with hunting down and killing the purportedly harmless animals. Was the attack on Devon and the institute really the work of extremist activists or is something far more sinister going on? Encountering excessive security measures enforced by unknown authorities, Dunbar realises that those who might hold the keys to the mystery are not prepared to help him, and those who have unleashed it will stop at nothing to fulfil their apocalyptic ambitions. Alone in a race against unspeakable tragedy, the ex-Special Forces medic must imagine the unthinkable - and all he knows is that, when the storm breaks, it'll already be too late... With Avian 'Flu still a hot topic, this book is both timely and pertinent. Grisly in parts, but very well written and readable.
The Scotsman
Appliance of science a winning formula for Ken
JOANNA VALLELY (firstname.lastname@example.com)
NOVELIST Ken McClure is getting used to the medical thrillers he writes being described as having a prophetic quality. His previous novels have predicted BSE and preempted an outbreak of flesh-eating bug necrotizing fasciitis. But the Lothians writer could scarcely believe his eyes when, having just penned his latest book The Lazarus Strain about the possibility of a deadly flu virus being released, he caught a newsflash about people dying of bird flu in Asia.
Ken recalls the scene, which happened several years ago during one of his twice-yearly breaks in The Canary Islands: "I remember I was in Tenerife and I'd just finished the book when I saw something on the news about bird flu. People were getting it and dying in Thailand and I thought 'My God, it's happened'."
The gap between writing the book and its publication yesterday was, in retrospect, perhaps rather fortuitous for the father-of-two and grandfather-of-one, who recently moved with his wife Mina from Currie to East Saltoun, East Lothian. It allowed time for bird flu to trigger enough public alarm to allay the 64-year-old's original concerns that readers might not believe flu could pose a serious enough threat.
But Ken is nothing if not sure of his facts thanks to his background as an award-winning medical scientist who began his career studying infectious diseases in the bacteriology lab of the City Hospital at Colinton Mains.
"It's my world," he shrugs. "I'm really careful that everything I say in the book could happen, even if it is extremely unlikely."
In The Lazarus Strain, Ken taps into today's underlying fear of terrorism and biochemical warfare. Al-Qaida operatives get hold of a deadly virus from a government lab and Ken's hero, high-tech crime investigator Dr Steven Dunbar, fears the terrorists plan to wreak maximum havoc by unleashing it in a public place. It slowly emerges that al-Qaida's aim is to go one step further and substitute the virus for the vaccine to wipe out a population which thinks it's being protected.
In his pristine living room of his rural retreat, Ken says that the inspiration for The Lazarus Strain - and its title, referring to a strain coming back from the dead like the biblical Lazarus - came from hearing about a group of US scientists who decided to resurrect the 1918 flu virus from the frozen tissue of First World War soldiers. The virus that wiped out 40 million people now exists in a secure lab.
"It's not something we should be happy about," says Ken. "The explanation was that if they understood more about it they would be able to combat it. In common with many people, I thought they were creating a problem just to create a solution."
The spread of the flu in 1918 sparked a ban on travel between states in the US, where they ran out of coffins and graveyards to cope with the high number of deaths. Ken believes that another outbreak of Spanish flu, as it was known, would have catastrophic potential. "It could be even worse because travel is so easy now. It would be round the world in a flash."
The softly-spoken scientist says that every year there is a new strain of flu for which a vaccine must be invented and the risk of a pandemic - whether through natural means or malicious intent - is a tangible threat.
"What came out of this reconstruction was just how similar the 1918 virus was to bird flu. Bird flu kills in the same way as the 1918 flu - your lungs fill up with blood and you choke up and die.
The link is that every time there is an outbreak of bird flu that increases the chances of a new strain emerging - the bird flu virus mutating into a type of virus that will pass from person to person. The general view is that a pandemic is a matter of when rather than if and until the killer virus appears you can't design a vaccine," he says authoritatively.
On a more upbeat note, Ken is still awaiting news on Sean Connery's interest in making a Hollywood blockbuster from his novel The Gulf Conspiracy. The author sent Connery a copy after getting a message on his answering machine from the actor, which he initially thought was his son Mike, 40, playing a prank.
More than a year on, Ken says: "As far as I know it's still in the pipeline. The guy who sells the rights is back in touch with Sean's people so I'm hopeful."
Ken, who went full-time as an author in 2000, has published 19 books. His work is translated into 23 languages and he regularly tops the bestseller lists in Poland. With the recent wave of immigration, he notes that libraries in the Capital have started stocking his books in Polish. He laughs modestly: "As my family say, it will be on my tombstone: 'Big in Poland'."
His next book will be set in Edinburgh and will deal with cancer, he can reveal. It's a subject he knows through his scientific work as well as having been through it with members of his own family, about which he will only say: "Several people in my family have died of cancer and not just elderly relatives."
Although The Lazarus Strain tackles a subject matter that is scarily possible, Ken hopes terrorists setting loose a deadly flu virus will remain in the realms of fiction. "I have no pleasure when people say my work is prophetic. It's an unfortunate side effect," he says with a grave expression. "I write books about possibilities. This is the one I would least like to come true because of the enormous implications."

Interaction with Guests
I am retired so I am available to answer any questions you may have and am free to give you tours. Just pay the low cost taxi fares and buy me lunch and I will show you why I love this city so much.
The Neighborhood
My neighborhood is the safest with 24/7 guards. It has the best restaurants at the lowest prices. It is full of parks with views of hills dotted with Inca Ruins. It is just off of Ave. de la Cultura that gives you quick access by bus or taxi to the Plaza de Armas. Note: The closer you are to the Plaza de Armas the more expensive EVERYTHING is. Also you are constantly being sold something. In my neighborhood you are left alone and can relax.
Getting Around
Just two blocks off of Av. de la Cultura with bus stops and taxis everywhere. A taxi to plaza de armas costs $1.50 and takes 8 to 10 minutes. A bus costs 25 cents or 70 solis and takes 10 to fifteen minutes. You can walk to Inca Ruins in 30 minutes with no tourists or admission costs.
Other Things to Note
After living here for years there is no other place that I would rather be.
You will have your keys and can come and go as you please. If you cook just do your own dishes. No pets please. No smoking inside but you can smoke on the front porch.

Richard was a fantastic host! His home and rooms were clean, spacious, had great wifi, hot water and a hair dryer (nice for the cold Cusco nights). He couldn't have been more welcoming or flexible- he let us drop our bags off before check in time and took us on a full day your of the city. We really enjoyed staying in his quieter, residential neighborhood were we could escape the touristy plaza area and the inflated prices that come with it. It was incredibly easy and cheap to take a taxi to the center and home. We had a great experience!
Richard's place is very spacious and got everything we need. He is very helpful and provide us much useful information such as places to go, route recommended, etc. The site maps are extremely useful especially when they are not available in most of tourist sites in Peru.
We stayed with Richard for three days and had a great time. He is an extremely helpful host and went out of his way to help us plan our travels in Cusco and the surrounding areas. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the history of Peru. His neighborhood is good too. Very authentic and Peruvian area where the locals live. If you prefer to stay out of the 'touristy' areas, this is a good place to do so. It's only 4-5 Soles (around $1-$1.50 USD) to catch a cab to Plaza de Armas and most restaurants around his place are much cheaper than the touristy areas. There is also a big shopping mall close by and its very close to the airport (don't worry, its not noisy and very few planes fly, usuallly only in mid-late morning). The place is nice too, huge room and comfortable bed. The only drawback for my wife was using the shower as she said it was difficult to operate but I managed ok. Other than that, for the price and proximity of just a 5-8 minute cab ride to Plaza de Armas, it was a good experience. Richard also offers tours around the city and other areas if that would be of interest.
Richard is a great host. He was very thorough about explaining his neighborhood and the accommodation. He also took us on a day tour of Cuzco, which was very nice. He is very knowledgable about his city and we were happy to stay with him.
Richard was a perfect host with a wealth of knowledge of the area, especially if you are looking for trekking opportunities. The room was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The area felt very safe and it is also very calm, though the taxi from the Plaza de Armas only costs 4 Soles. There is a bakery and many minimercados as well as a new big Western mall and a Mega market in close walking distance. Absolutely recommend for staying!
Staying with Richard was amazing. The area is quiet and only a 5 min taxi ride to downtown. The area is better than downtown since we got to experience more local flare and away from tourist mayhem, lots of good restaurants around. Richard helped us in arranging transport to Ollynta by a private driver named Armando. If you need any transport to Ollynta, asked him about Armando and he will hook you up. Overall, it was a great experience and made our stay in Cuzco more memorable.
It's hard to thank Richard enough. From the moment we arrived (earlier than expected) he made us feel at home. He took us on his tour of the city, pointing out lots of interesting things and taking us into buildings we would have missed alone. He took us on his tour to nearby ruins which are free to wander through (but that looks set to change - so go soon!). He told us about the good places to eat and helped us plan our trekking. In short he is the best host we have ever had on airbnb - a really good man with a kind heart and a beautiful home!
About the Host, Richard
Retired in Cusco for three plus years after living in Costa Rica and Ecuador. I offer one half and full day hikes to neighborhood Inca Ruins and city tours that are included with stay. Knowledgeable of Inca history and night life options of eateries and music clubs. I once played in a local Rock and Blues band. My neighborhood has the best food at the lowest prices in Cusco. Stay with us and experience the best of Cusco at the lowest prices. A new mall is now open just a few blocks away that features an 8 plex movie theater just in case you get tired of hiking. Richard

Hello friends! I just wanted to share my most recent way to get to the scarab gun bridge on Metropolis. This time, I crash the phantom by overloading the game with a dead body pile. I move it to a good launch spot with the wraith. Then I trigger a checkpoint so I can launch by flipping it around and I land on the bridge to get the scarab gun! Also, I was able to corner ride back down to the street but this time I used the scarab gun itself to launch into the corner ride. [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ORS2FXYb5M[/url] Thanks for watching guys, I hope you enjoy it! -bizz
Multijirachi5/20/2012 1:49:48 AM PermalinkThis looks harder than that rocket jump to the bridge... Amazing! Also, did you just use the Scarab gun to help stop the countdown timer? That was a risky move.
Dr Bizz5/9/2012 7:31:26 PM PermalinkHey thanks! This was a really fun project. I'm glad it happened for me since you can't save the checkpoint, it had to be setup every time.

Geometric rug
The pic shows block multicolored squires touching. 3 squires by 4 squires. I got a mostly cream colored rug with huge rectangles not even close to one another and are so big that along the length of the rug they are cut in half I have never sent anything back but have decided to go through the trouble to ship it back. This can't be the same rug.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Not even close.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. So disappointed in what arrived the quality can not be considered.
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The picture is totally different.

Getting rid of the crust for this clever play on quiche Lorraine is a win-win: The cooking process is simplified, and you're left with the very best part of the quiche.
Leave a Review
I've probably made this at least twenty times. A few changes have crept in. I always make this in ramekins. Substitute bagel crisp crackers for the bread crumbs. Easier and makes a better bottom. I'm a purist. The ratio for perfect custardy quiche is one-half cup of heavy cream per whole egg. Yes! to grated nutmeg. Milk? In quiche? Excuse me... I've made this with fresh mushrooms, dried porcini mushrooms (soak them first), broccoli, asparagus, ham or bacon, with and without cheese. Infinitely variable, this makes our winter meal cycle about every fifteen days. Better slightly undercooked (and creamy) than slightly overcooked (and rubbery). I always make four. One for me, one for my wife, two for leftovers' lunches. Keeps me happy three days running.flag if inappropriate
Add 1-2 more eggs. And, I'm a fan of freshly grated nutmeg. Otherwise, good base recipe to fiddle with.flag if inappropriate
Love this - made it yesterday for father's day. A great addition to our low-carb eating plan. I too used 5 eggs. Found the onions made the quiche a little wet.flag if inappropriate
This is one my most favorite recipes I have found on Epicurious. It is simple, elegant and delicious.flag if inappropriate
enjoyed this recipe. I look forward to getting creative and adding other veggies next time I make it This time I also added an extra egg, used fat free half and half and 2% milk, shallots, ham and gouda cheese. YUM!flag if inappropriate
I followed others' advice and used a fifth egg. Perfect. This is a great base quiche recipe. I added some sauteed zucchini, garlic, and spinach, and it was delicious. I'll be making this again and switching up the ingredients.flag if inappropriate
I got rave reviews from my guests and it was so quick and easy, which makes it perfect for a brunch. I followed other reviewers' suggestions and used an extra egg.flag if inappropriate
This turned out great. I used fat-free half&half instead of the cream and it turned out a little watery and took quite a bit longer than 25 minutes to cook. I also subbed freshly grated gruyere for the swiss, canadian bacon for the ham and I used chives instead of onions. It was very tasty and easy to make.flag if inappropriate
DH and I loved it. I toasted the panko breadcrumbs first. I also did not have heavy cream on hand so I used 3/4 c milk + 1/4 butter instead. Next time, I will try the 5 eggs.flag if inappropriate
I forgot the breadcrumbs and used 2 cups of heavy cream (didn't have any whole milk). Also increased to 5 eggs per previous suggestions. It puffed up beautifully, nicely golden in 25 minutes.flag if inappropriate

|Help Us Put the Spotlight on ALEC
ALEC Exposed
Through ALEC, Global Corporations Are Scheming to Rewrite YOUR Rights and Boost THEIR Revenue
|Through the corporate-funded American Legislative Exchange Council, global corporations and state politicians vote behind closed doors to try to rewrite state laws that govern your rights. These so-called "model bills" reach into almost every area of American life and often directly benefit huge corporations.
In ALEC's own words, corporations have "a VOICE and a VOTE" on specific changes to the law that are then proposed in your state. DO YOU? Numerous resources to help us expose ALEC are provided below. We have also created links to detailed discussions of key issues, which are available on the left.

ALEC News
Scott Walker: The First ALEC President?
Walker's speech at ALEC will be a reunion of sorts. Walker was an ALEC member as a state legislator in the 1990s, and the agenda that Walker has championed throughout his long political career has closely tracked the policies promoted by ALEC and its corporate funders, despite public opposition to many of those measures.

So a Lobbyist and an ALEC Legislator Walk into a Bar...Caught on Tape by NBC
In a new report aired on Atlanta's NBC TV Channel WXIA 11, Georgia investigative reporter Brendan Keefe went behind the scenes at ALEC's spring meeting in Savannah, Georgia, where he chatted with lobbyists and lawmakers--and was summarily ejected by uniformed off-duty deputies for trying to film public officials at the task force meetings where future state laws are written.

More ALEC News
The ALEC-Backed War on Local Democracy
After the town of Denton, Texas passed a ballot initiative banning fracking in November 2014, the oil and gas industry reacted with outrage and swiftly filed suit. Politicians in the state capitol responded with a fusillade of bills to preempt local authority over public health and safety and to subject local ballot initiatives to pre-approval by the state attorney general. There was even a bill to end local home rule altogether.

ALEC, NFIB Push Prevailing Wage Repeal
As unions and working people battle "right-to-work" legislation in several states, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and allies have opened another flank in their war on good jobs. Targeted this time are state prevailing wage laws, which require public construction projects to support local wage standards instead of undercutting them. Studies have repeatedly found that prevailing wage laws do not harm taxpayers but are effective in providing something increasingly rare in regional labor markets, upward pressure on wages.

BP Dumps ALEC; Tally at 102
BP announced that it was cutting ties with the American Legislative Exchange Council, the controversial corporate bill mill. It is the third major fossil fuel company to sever ties with ALEC, after Occidental Petroleum in 2014. ExxonMobil remains on the ALEC private sector board.
As of March 2015, at least 102 corporations and 19 non-profits--for a total of 121 private sector members--have publicly announced that they cut ties with ALEC. You can see a full list of companies that have cut ties here.

"Death by a Thousand Cuts" and ALEC's Local Strategy for Attacking Unions
The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) made headlines after Wisconsin Republicans introduced a virtually word-for-word copy of the ALEC "model" Right to Work Act, following on the heels of Michigan and other states that have taken up the ALEC-inspired anti-union measures in recent years.
But ALEC and its allies have also been pushing a new and unprecedented approach to defunding unions on a city-by-city basis through an ALEC offshoot, the American City County Exchange (ACCE).

ACCE Wants Your Town to Subsidize ALEC-Style Corporate Lobbying
As the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) has reported previously, the American City County Exchange (ACCE) was formed in 2014 as a local government version of the state legislature-focused American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). The new group's structure mimics its parent organization, with corporate lobbyists paying between $10,000 and $25,000 to sit side-by-side with city and county elected officials and vote on legislation that all too frequently benefits ALEC's corporate members.

Sullivan was 9-of-15 from the field, including 5-of-9 from 3-point range. Mullery added 17 points and five blocked shots for Brown (2-3).

I'm thinking that the front discs are severely worn or there's a hard, crystallized spot on the brake disc which is slightly prominent and making noise when the pads are slightly contacting the disc. Could be the same thing in the rear drum brakes if the noise is coming from the rear. I'd recommend a brake inspection, the brakes may be due for service. If it appears that the discs are worn out or faulty, it's better to replace them (and the pads) than to try to machine a hard spot out, the cost is not much different if you look around for a good price on new discs and hard spots mean that the metal has crystallized and no good any more. If you want to find a Mazda specialist, here's a directory link for you: https://repairpal.com/directory?address=06051&car_brand_names=Mazda I personally recommend finding a Mazda specialist rather than, let's say, a muffler shop to do the job. Independent specialists use better parts and are more savvy. - Superbob

Camelot College was founded by Ronnie L.

Camelot College's first classes began on May 12, 1986 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at 2618 Wooddale Boulevard, through a classroom training contract with the Job Training Partnership Administration. They were licensed by the Louisiana State Department of Education on August 28, 1986. We are presently providing short-term job-specific training in Medical Assistant, Computer Data Processing, Cosmetology and Paralegal Studies. Camelot college has been a pioneer over the past fifteen years in assisting students to become qualified for career jobs in only ten months. Thousands of graduates from Camelot College are now employed and living successful lives because they made the decision to attend Camelot College. The college is nationally accredited as a business school by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools.

Larsen #3: And Now For the News
By cbishop 4 Comments

|And Now For the News
|(Blog) (Forum)

|Larsen #2
|Two years ago...
A lone figure stands in front of an appliance store, watching a TV in the window.
"Welcome to the Larsen Channel Seven News. I'm your anchor, Phillip Thyme..."
"...I'm your co-anchor, Paige Webb..."
"...I'm Rudy Day, with the weather..."
"...And I'm Duncan Shot, with sports."
"Our top story, today: The Gaslight City has been in a state of war for the last six weeks," began the anchor. "The death of Larsen's reputed top mobster, Lowell Mohne, also known as 'Big Wheel,' has created a power vaccuum that has underlings and rivals vying and dying, in an insane attempt to grab the reigns of power in this gang infested city.
"The list of known mobsters fighting it out for control of the city are: the Blowfish, Paleface, Poker Face, Rubberhead, and even the Recluse – a mob boss who some claim is only an unsubstantiated myth. Several public figures, believed by many to have ties to Larsen's organized crime families, have also been rumored to be involved in attempts to gain control of the The Gaslight underworld. Chief among them are noted philanthropist Benny Factor, and labor union boss Fortunato Amontillado.
"Adding to the confusion and the violence, a number of vigilantes are apparently waging their own private wars against the gangland forces that are vying for control of the city's vices. When asked if police were sanctioning these vigilantes, or at least turning a blind eye to their activities, we had this comment, from Chief of Police, Carlin Brown:"
A video clip of the Police Chief plays. He's at the head of a pack of reporters who are following him right up to the station doors. "Sanctioning? Don't be ridiculous! As far as I'm concerned, we don't know any more about these 'heroes,' than we do the thugs and gang bosses that are tearing this city apart. For all we know, these vigilantes are after the reins of criminal power for themselves! I'd just as soon take them down, as any gang boss in this city!"
The scene shifts back to Phillip Thyme in the studio. "Strong words, from Police Chief Brown, but are they enough? Already, public opinion seems to be shifting, from support of the police to support of the city's vigilantes. Our Man In the Street has more."
"That's right, Phillip," chimed Paige as the camera shifted to her. "Mike Rofon is standing by at the sight of what appears to be yet another vigilante action. Mike?"
The scene shifted to a tall brown man in a black wool overcoat, facing the camera with mic in hand. People milled around in the background, some trying to wave at the camera from several feet behind the reporter. "Thank you, Paige. I'm here live, in front of local nightspot, Songbirds, on the scene of what appears to be yet another gruesome slaying, perpetrated by one of the city's mysterious vigilantes. With me is Rusty Etticut - eyewitness to the horrific events of just a half hour ago. Mister Etticut, can you tell us what happened here?"
A man hyper on the night's adrenaline started, "Can I? Oh man! It was incredible! BLAM! That was it! The guy didn't say nothin', he didn't take nothin'! One minute, he's standin' on the corner, next minute, he gives the chalk outline there a new 'do, and my car's got a new paint job! Y'know what he did then? He just strolled on through the crosswalk, like nothing happened, and helps some blind woman across the street! It was crazy, man! The guy was just crazy!"
"Another grim eyewitness account of the vigilante activity on our city streets. With the Larsen Channel Seven News, I'm Mike Rofon. Back to…"
The lone figure turns away from the window, pulling his tattered trenchcoat a little closer, and starts down the street, thoughts livid. Moron. "Crazy," he calls me. What if that parasite had decided to prey on you, next? You ought to thank me. After all, it's your town too, and I just saved you, as a taxpayer, the cost of a trial, not to mention the daily expense of keeping the scum in jail. I just shot him in the head, like I'd do any sick animal. You just might make it home tonight, because some little hood hears what happened here, and gets scared I'll do him next. They know if I come down on 'em, there ain't no talkin' their way out of it, because I don't listen. Anybody who thinks you gotta listen to the badguys talk, while they figure out how to escape, has been readin' too many comic books. I shoot first, and don't ask questions. I'm doing you a favor, you little shmuck, because the street punks fear me. They've even given me a name… They call me "Scatterbrain."
|Meanwhile, high above the city...
|Please let me know what you think, and thanks! -cb

While the domestic oil pipeline network is rapidly expanding, so too are concerns about safety
Despite public opposition that has so far blocked the building of the Keystone XL pipeline, the fossil fuels industry has successfully—and quietly—expanded the nation's domestic oil network by installing thousands of miles of pipeline across the country, according to new reporting by the Associated Press.
Soaked with contributions from oil and gas interests, members of Republican-controlled House easily approve tar sands pipeline project
With members who receive large financial backing from oil and gas interests playing the dominant role, the House of Representatives passed a bill on Wednesday evening which would force the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. Having already been approved by the Senate, the passage sets up a promised veto of the measure from President Obama as it heads to his desk.
President Obama would veto a bill that would allow for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, the White House said Tuesday.
"If this bill passes this Congress the president wouldn't sign it," said White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.
The White House's announcement comes the Republican-controlled Congress was being sworn in – and whose members have pledged to pass a bill authorizing the pipeline's construction.
The pipeline's proponents fell one vote short Tuesday night.
WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats on Tuesday defeated a bill, 59 to 41, that would have approved the construction of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, rebuffing a Democratic colleague, Senator Mary L. Landrieuof Louisiana, who had hoped to muscle the legislation through in advance of her uphill runoff election fight back home.
House Democrats are not happy that their colleagues in the Senate are "playing a game" to help boost Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.) in her uphill December runoff by pushing through legislation that would greenlight the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
Lindsey Graham(R-SC) not only became the latest Republican to jump into the 2016 presidential race, he also became the latest Republican to signal strong support for deep Social Security cuts. "Washington's failure to do the hard but right thing has put Social Security and Medicare in jeopardy," Graham said during…
The party of the rich is now doing everything in its power to make sure those without money live in misery Last week my colleague Simon Maloy caught us up with the latest on Kanses Gov. Sam Brownback's famous Arthur Laffer "petri dish" experiment, in which he slashed taxes and government programs in order to…
The plight of non-tenured professors is widely known, but what about the impact they have on the students they're hired to instruct? Imagine meeting your English professor by the trunk of her car for office hours, where she doles out information like a taco vendor in a food truck. Or…
While technically Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) stand against the NSA yesterday wasn't a filibuster, any time a member of Congress talks for over ten hours without a bathroom break, it's close enough in our book.
'Together we will end the Patriot Act, and the sun can rise on a new day filled with freedom and privacy for all.' With the fate of the USA Patriot Act still hanging in the balance late afternoon Friday—and lawmakers eager to leave Washington, D.C., for Memorial Day barbecues and…
Because of irresponsible reporting by conservative sources, many Americans have been led to believe that social programs are bankrupting our nation. The mainstream media fawningly concurs, with statements like this from USA Today: "The massive deficits...[and] chronic underfunding...are largely the result of Washington's habit of committing too much money to…
When I graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School in 1990, students were graduating from college with an average of about $12,000 in debt. Today, the average student debt for undergraduates in Minnesota is more than $31,000 — the fifth-highest in the nation.
We can't fight the rich without fighting our own privileges. Last night, I asked my mom if she'd heard ever heard the term, "We are the 99%." After we spent a frustrating few minutes of her repeatedly asking, "But 99% of what?" she admitted that she'd heard tell of Occupy…
Despite what the New York Times would have you believe, Americans have said over and over that they want the wealthy to pay more.
The New York Times has a post by Neil Irwin headlined "Why Americans Don't Want to Soak the Rich." Irwin suggests a couple of different answers to this question, depending on your ideological point of view:
New report details perverse policies that are driving more people into hopeless, inescapable poverty.

YIELD: 16 Brownies
Preheat the oven to 300° F. Butter an 8-inch square pan. Line the bottom of the pan with wax paper, then butter and flour the paper. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate with the butter, stirring to blend. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, egg, salt, flour, walnuts, and vanilla. Spread in the prepared pan and bake for about 30 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack and peel the wax paper from the bottom. Transfer to a cutting board and cut in squares.
