Pressure mounts for Oklahoma legislators to reach a state budget agreement
It's expected the state has a budget hole of about $600 million after using $223.5 million from its savings account, the Rainy Day Fund, and the remaining $515 million of federal stimulus money. If no new revenue is found, either by generating more revenue through new programs, by raising fees or by cutting tax credits, state agencies are looking at cuts of about 10 percent. Most state agencies have been cut 14.5 percent since the start of this fiscal year as the state's revenues have come in below estimates because of low natural gas prices and the national recession. The large size of the budget hole in the 2011 fiscal year budget and concern over the 2012 fiscal year budget are making it especially challenging this year, Meacham said. The 2012 budget will be difficult to develop because so much one-time funds — such as the federal stimulus and Rainy Day money — were used in the 2011 budget, he said. Also, legislators and the governor, before taking up the 2011 budget, had to take care of a nearly $300 million deficit in the current 2010 fiscal year. The longer budget discussions take, the more clamoring for money or suggestions in how to find revenue occur. Three rallies from groups asking for more money occurred last week at the state Capitol. House Democrats held three news conferences last week calling for a cut or reduction in tax credits. "Everybody is feeling the effects of the cuts we've already done," Meacham said. "They're even that much more fearful of further cuts to come because they see all the damage that's been done so far," he said. Henry earlier this year proposed $750 million in revenue enhancements. They included repealing the rural small business and the small business capital credit programs, which would bring in nearly $50 million to the state coffers. But rural legislators complained, saying at least one city in a rural area was winding up transactions that required the use of the tax credits. A special Senate budget committee last week passed legislation that called for eliminating both of the small business credit programs. A special House budget committee failed to approve the measure. None of the House Democrats agreed to support the measure, said House Appropriations and Budget Committee Chairman Ken Miller, R-Edmond. Meacham said the governor and legislative leaders are "very close" to working out a compromise on the two tax credit programs. Other ideas suggested by the governor include collecting sales tax on Internet sales and expanding a crackdown on uninsured motorists by using an automated system that would check all vehicles driven in the state. Only Oklahoma motorists are checked now during traffic stops. He's also suggested refinancing bond issues at today's lower interest rate, possibly saving tens of millions of dollars. Legislators publicly haven't warmly embraced the ideas. The governor's also suggested merging several state agencies, but a bill seeking to merge or combine agencies has failed to gain traction.

Teenage Girl Problems: Episode 2
I'm 13, so obviously I don't know much about boys and relationships and all that. I've been in a relationship only once my whole life (if you're not counting the boyfriend you have in kindergarten, because if you are then I guess you could say I've been in two). Not to say he was a real boyfriend, though; we made physical contact once (we hugged for two seconds before he ran away) and we went on one date. Regardless, I do know a thing or two about boys that most girls my age don't know.
The boys don't treat girls with respect at my school. And to me, its unattractive when a boy is mean. There will be this really
hot attractive guy that I've noticed, but the second he does something really mean or disrespectful, especially directed to a girl, he's ugly in my eyes. And he always will be. The reality of today's generation of girls, though, is that it doesn't even matter how a boy acts, or his personality, or even if hes a good person, he just needs to be hot, most of the time. A girl is lucky if the attractive guy she choses to date just happens to be a good person too, but come on. He can't always have it all.
One girl at my school is constantly picked on by the guys about stuffing her bra. The stupid thing about it is that she doesn't even do it, but she still gets picked on. Once, a boy left some tissues on her desk and said, "I think you dropped these." It's really nosy and perverted that the guys do this to her but the annoying thing is that her boyfriend is one of the boys that does it. When I asked him why hes not defending her, considering she's his girlfriend, his reply was, "It's not my job to defend her." Uhhh, yeah, it kind of is? Whats the point in having a boyfriend if he cares more about being cool than you? Most girls don't get that, though. Its all about having the hot boyfriend. It may be making some girls jealous, but it's not affecting me.
Picking on a girl for stuffing her bra is bullying. So is boys calling girls sluts, whores and making fun of their appearance. You'd think with all the bullying awareness and bullying prevention assemblies they have, that schools would be more sensitive to this subject. When my mom went to the principal with this, the FEMALE principal said, "Oh, well, boys will be boys." All across Canada it's "Pink Shirt Day". It's the anti-bullying day where everyone in the school wears pink against bullying. Our school celebrated Pink Shirt Day. Everyone wore pink shirts and we had an assembly about bullying. So why isn't my school enforcing what they're saying is bad?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND! What happened?! Did girls lose their entire self respect? Didn't woman fight for their rights? If we did, why are girls letting boys walk all over us? I'm pretty sick and tired of being treated badly by boys. I can count the amount of guys in my grade that have never once said anything mean to me on one hand. What happened to being a gentleman? Instead of holding the door open for a girl today, he'll purposely close the door in her face. I'd like to sit down some of the boys in my grade and make them watch a few Ryan Gosling movies to show them how to treat a girl. Everyone says that when a boy is mean to a girl it means he likes her. Its so annoying! I'm not sure if a guy thinks it's the only way to get a girls attention or they're all just assholes, but to call her a slut or a whore, or comment on her appearance is not "cute". I'd rather if a boy liked me to actually get to know me, and treat me like a person.

TouchPad Pre-Ordering, Non-lagging demos, New York Meetups and more - From the Forums 10
If you've been thinking about pre-ordering your TouchPad in this final week before the official launch date, you might first want to read what other users have experienced as they've done the same. User dajlol77 has shared their experience here, with a nice bit of detail, and asked other members of our forums to do the same. Of course, you could just take the easy route and order it online through HP's website, but what's the fun in that?
Before putting in their own pre-order, re2st is wondering what to do about the lack of GPS on the Wifi only version of the TouchPad that is being released first. Will it be that big of a problem to not have GPS on the device when you already have it on your phone (and can even purchse NDrive, which requires no data connection at all to work)? Or should they wait until the 3G version of the TouchPad is released later this summer? Several users share their thoughts on the matter, and even talk about experiences with a Wifi only iPad, to help give the answer to everyone who's wondering the same thing.
In just a few days, webOS developers and fans will be uniting in New York City to talk about their latest app projects, device tips, community discussions and of course, the soon-to-be-launched TouchPad. It's all going down on the 28th, and they've set up a thread to discuss it here. Our very own Jonathan Ezor will be co-hosting the event, so you can bet it'll be one you don't want to miss if you're in the NYC area.
Lastly, for those of you who have commented on the "lag" that shows in TouchPad demo videos of old, user blinktreo has started a thread to share evidence that the device that is being built and shipped to consumers is anything but laggy. He's gathered together a number of videos and demos that have appeared over the last few weeks, and opens the thread for comments on how people are expecting the TouchPad to act once delivered. We'll leave it to you to join that discussion and read other opinions, but we like that idea of a fast and snappy device ready for release on July 1st.
The PreCentral forums are ripe for discussion and a great place to talk with other webOS users and fans. You can register for free and get started by clicking that link in our menu. Don't forget to share your favorite threads with us at firstname.lastname@example.com, we'll try to add them into the next From the Forums post next week!
10 Comments
Can someone please explain to me what is the point of pre-ordering the Touchpad?
Do you get a discount?
Do you get a free touchstone charger?
If not, then why would you pre-pay for something you haven't been able to test yourself? Especially when it's at the same price point as an Ipad2.
Am I missing something? If i could pre-order it for $400 and a free touchstone charger I would get it, but for $500 + $80 for the touchstone they would have to prove themselves first.
I decided to wait for a while, and read the review forums.
After the promises Leo made, after my two attempts to use a Pre Plus and it being incompatible with Verizon and Exchange only through forums, I think the trust factor has been lost.
The OS is super; marketing, specs, release, and price are dragging it down.
i think the point of pre order is to be the first to get them or if you think that they will sell completely out the first day of launch or dont want to wait in line. i dont think we would have to worry about either or.
The reason I preordered was to make sure I got one on July 1st. Best Buy gives you a $50 gift card if you preorder.
Here is my advice for pre-ordering if you want to save a few bucks. Pre-order the Touchpad from Amazon with one-day shipping. There is no sales tax to pay when purchasing from Amazon. Then contact a sales rep (chat/call), and say that you want the Touchpad delivered Saturday. They will say it is not available for Saturday delivery, and that you will receive it July 5th. Then they should offer to refund all shipping costs to compensate for the fact that you cannot receive it Saturday. This worked for me. If you have accessories you want to purchase, they are quite a bit cheaper at Amazon (touchstone charger, case, keyboard). So place a separate order for accessories and request the free shipping option. You could probably live without the accessories for a few days anyway. Hope that helps!
im affraid all these fan boys that pre odered the tp will see the same heart break of the early adopters of the pre-. im not in the market for them pads yet until they are fully functional as a laptop. i will keep a close eye on how it performs although i do not see a bright future for it..... wheres the pre 3.....probably another disappointment......
Well these people who are pre-ordering are also the reason why HP probably won't include a free touchstone or won't drop the price of the Touchpad in a month or two.
If no one pre-orders HP might get the message that they need to lower the prices.
Im pre ordered at best buy, cant wait for July 1st. pour on all the h8eraide you wan't but it will just reflect back at you.
on yes... she will be mine!!!
speaking of meetup, we're having one too!

What a day Saturday? As the cook said yesterday, helped by the fact Blackburn are shit, but they did beat us in September so that's one way to ram that back down their throats.
Despite the fabulous performance, Chambo, Theo, and RvP showing what they can do as a three, there were still mumbles of moans, pointing to the 'empty' stadium. Where were the bin liners though? I keep hearing we have dwindling attendances, but isn't it more that we have a lot of fans, club level, and above, who have so much money that they can afford to buy a season ticket and not bother going when it's just Blackburn, and it's a bit cold. Part Time I would call them! Worth bearing in mind though that Blackburn managed to sell about 500 of their 3000 allocation and we managed to then re-sell most of their unsold blocks. Not bad going I would say!
Whilst on that, is it worth papers like the Mirror and Metro doing a bit of research before putting out there talk about Gooners planning protests. It was bad enough a 'march' at the end of the season got so much coverage, but this, a dream of two 14 year olds in their bedroom in India. What fraction of our support does that cover? Perhaps using Twitter as a new source is not all it cracked up to be!
Mexican flop Carlos Vela doesn't want to come back to Arsenal, so can we can his contract now to save us some cash? He said;
I don't want to return to Arsenal. I have asked my agent to negotiate with Arsenal to stay here.
Fuck Off!
There's lots of Wenger talk today from comments made speaking to a Belgian paper about the potential of signing Eden Hazard. The boss said;
Hazard's profile fits a high-level club and Arsenal is a high-level club. But you should know that each season it is imperitive Arsenal make a profit of between £15m and £20m. And I would add that the purpose of a coach is to always buy at a price he sees fit.
That's pretty hand as we're about announce record interim profits, circa £50Mil, so we should have good surplus to go and get Hazard. Add to the fact there is £50Mil already in the transfer fund account, we should be fine to spend, and need to stop the bollox excuses. Why ask for financial fair play and then slap you're own extra rule on it, why do Arsenal Football Club need £20m profit? For Mr. Kroenke? He can poke it! If ain't careful they'll be a few people looking to poke it for him!
Redkrapp's trial sits again for the Verdict, I got the impression from the summing up, the judge was looking for lenience because of character, does he mean cos he's just like Del Boy……….

New man on the scene, Joe Manganiello, has made it plain he's got his sexy werewolf eyes set on Alexander Skarsgård's studly True Blood reign. And let's be clear: Skar's does have something to worry about here.
With his stunningly chiseled, muscled physique, Manganiello indeed has Skars kinda beaten in the god-like male specimen category. So is the sexy Swede worried?
"Hardly," gushed a True Blood insider before rhetorically asking (we think), "I mean, you've gotta be kidding, right?
Well, actually, no, we're not.
We here at A.T. take our Adonis competitions quite seriously. And besides, we already know Skars has been out more and more without his starved arm-candy, Kate Bosworth, so, maybe we thought the yummy and very ballsy actor might be feeling, dunno, a tad more vulnerable right now?
"Let's be clear," assured our T.B. vet, "[Skarsgård] is not nervous about Joe, or anybody else. There is no competition."
So glad to hear!

The North Loop ("Nordschleife") of the Nürburgring is probably the most beautiful, challenging and longest racetrack in the world. Just a few pilots can manage it in a fast and safe way, particularly as it requires a special car to overcome the 73 curves, 300 meters altitude change and 20.8 km length in less than 10 minutes.
Therefore, BMW offers you the unique opportunity to experience one lap as a co-pilot of "Ring"-experienced drivers, such as Sabine Schmitz, Claudia Hürtgen und Hans-Joachim Stuck. The latest BMW will be provided throughout the season, which offers racing technology as well as a high degree of satisfaction for every day use. To put it in a nutshell: the embodiment of a high-performance limousine.

Marriage Prediction Based on Date of Birth
Some of the most common questions asked of an astrologer are "When will I find love?" and "When will I marry?"
The answer, as is the case with any kind of prediction, is not clear-cut. In fact, it can be downright complicated.
This article attempts to put together some of the theories as to the timing of romantic periods in a person's life.
The following are pointers and tips culled from my own experience, research, and astrology practice. A real-life case study is included.
Some times the love marriage may be well with in the framework of
traditions, caste and creed, but many a time such love will have no
bounds and barriers. In Astrology we can see these reflections in
the birth chart of an individual.
For a lasting and a lovable marriage, the first and seventh
Moon & Sun, Venus & Mars in the individual chart shall have good
aspects between them and shall not be afflicted by other
Afflicted planets shall not house the first and seventh houses.
In a birth chart Fifth, Seventh and Eleventh houses from Lagna
signify Love, Marriage and Friendship respectively. Depending
on the planets in these houses and the rulers of these houses
and the aspects to them, the general significators of the
Moon and Venus in Boy's chart, Sun and Mars in girls chart and
aspects to them put together reflect the type of Marriage such
as Love at first sight or not, whether conventional or
whether it will be lasting or not etc. You can interpret likely
of marriage and its nature basing on the position of planets and
the aspects.
The presence of the following positions in the individual's
indicates the possibility of a love marriage.
1. Exchange of rulers of fifth and seventh house i.e. ruler of
fifth house in the seventh or vice versa. This exchange indicate
a love marriage and most likely, because the fifth house rules
the subjects like creative talents, sportsmanship, school etc.,
the development of their relationship may be in the fields ruled
by the house.
2. Exchange of rulers of seventh and eleventh house i.e. ruler
seventh house in the eleventh or vice versa. This exchange
that they may be friends or friends might have played a role in
coming closer leading to their love and marriage. It is also
that they might have come closer in meetings of clubs,
associations etc,
as the eleventh house rules those subjects.
3. Exchange of rulers of first and seventh house i.e. ruler of
house in seventh house or vice versa. This exchange indicates
appreciation and praise and mutual attractions. And the choice
partner is theirs and their love and affection for one another
is immense.
4. The Conjunction of first and seventh house rulers in fifth,
or seventh also indicate love marriage possibility.
If such aspects make a
good aspect with Saturn also then their nature will be more
durable one.
If the significators make adverse aspects with Mars on one side
and a good aspect with Saturn on the other, it indicates that in
of the problems in their marital relations, they hang on to the
If Venus and Mars only make good aspects and Sun and Moon are in
aspect in the individual chart, then they will have mutual
but may be mentally incompatible with misunderstandings and
emotional differences.
The rulers of 5th, 7th and 11th or the planets in these houses
in any
way related to other houses, then you can reasonably interpret
influence of those houses' ruled subjects on their love and
If 3rd house is related, you may say that attractions, because
neighborliness, friends of sister/brother, frequent visitor or
journeys, might have developed. If 4th house is related in any
you may conclude that one of them may be a relative of parent,
friendship at house, co-tenant etc. If 6th house, it may be a
co-worker or friendship at workplace and the like. It is not
comprehensive but only to show as to how to link the
Formulate a list of the following points and planets so that you can quickly and easily look for sensitive romantic/love times in a person's life:
Sun/Moon Midpoint.
Ruler of the 7th House
Ruler of the 5th House
North Node
Some of these points may overlap. For example, if Venus rules the individual's 7th house, you wouldn't need to note down the position of Venus twice, although it is helpful to make a mental note that Venus is likely to be a particularly sensitive point.
We will be looking for hard aspects to these points, as well as "soft" ones, in terms of transits and progressions. Hard aspects include the conjunction, square, opposition, semi-square, and sesquiquadrate. Soft aspects include the trine and sextile.
Although squares, conjunctions, and oppositions are fairly easy to spot, the semi-square (45 degrees) and sesquiquadrate (135 degrees) are not as intuitive. In order to organize your reading, the best thing to do is to calculate a list/table as found in the case study that follows this discussion.

By Christopher Horner
Book Description
Liberals are hiding the truth from you. What are you going to do about it, America?
Hailed by Glenn Beck as a "watchdog" and by Rush Limbaugh as a "go-to guy," bestselling author and attorney Christopher C. Horner is a leader in the fight against liberal tyranny in America – with his requests for information even declared "criminal" by the Obama administration. Revealing explosive new information obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and well-placed sources, Horner exposes the tightly kept secret of liberals running our government and schools: a carefully managed war to undermine the taxpayers' right to see what their government is up to.
What is the Obama administration hiding?
During his campaign, Barack Obama promised "the most transparent administration in history." Not only has this proven to be an empty promise, but he and his liberal allies systematically hide their activities from the public. They use private email accounts and computers, avoid creating records, stonewall information requests and otherwise delay or deny access to information every taxpayer has a right to know. This eye-opening book exposes the White House tricks, tactics and "tradecraft" now regularly used to keep Americans in the dark. You'll learn:
This is more than an exposé on the latest Washington cover-up. It is a wake-up call and how-to manual for all Americans to demand transparency from our leaders and defeat the liberal attack on open and honest debate. If you believe in America, you need to fight for your freedoms. You need to take a stand against the Liberal War on Transparency.
Editorial Review
The Washington Times
"An intriguing and painstakingly in-depth glimpse into the hypocrisy of the Obama administration, "The Liberal War on Transparency: Confessions of a Freedom of Information 'Criminal,'" catalogs the author's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) fiascos. In a rollicking tale of hilarious frustrations and disturbing government shenanigans, Christopher Horner shines the proverbial spotlight on some self-described spotlight-shiners who are anything but." – Ilya Shapiro and James Schindler

Indian government rules out coercion to curb population growth
Catholic World News - July 15, 2010
Despite population forecasts predicting that India will overtake China as the most populous nation in the world by 2050, India's federal government has said emphatic no to adopt coercive measures to reign in the boom in population.
Inaugurating a high profile run to spread awareness to mark World Population Day on July 11 in New Delhi, federal Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad ruled out coercion in the government efforts to curb population growth.
Indian population grows at a rate of 1.5 percent annually and is now estimated to be over 1.2 billion.
The federal minister pointed out that the government would try to enforce strict implementation of laws on age of marriage (18 for girls and 21 for boys) and educate couple to delay first child to stabilize population growth.

HOUSTON, Mar. 3 -- Front-month crude hit a new high of $103.05/bbl in overnight electronic trading on Feb. 29 before slipping below the previous session's record high closing, pulled down by the falling stock market.
On Mar. 3, the US Department of Commerce said construction spending fell 1.7% in Januaryits steepest drop in 14 years. The Institute for Supply Management also reported a contraction in US manufacturing during February to the weakest level in 5 years.
"The [equity] market fell 3% on [Feb. 29] and took the energy markets down with it, despite commodity prices [declining] less than 1%," said analysts in the Houston office of Raymond James & Associates Inc. They expect to see a second-quarter build in oil inventories that may dampen short-term prices, though second-half draws should provide further strength later in the year. "Looking to natural gas, we reiterate our bearish summer call, though bullish cold weather and continued short squeezes may bolster prices in the near-term," Raymond James said.
Despite the end-of-the-week decline in energy prices, Olivier Jakob at Petromatrix, Zug, Switzerland, noted West Texas Intermediate increased a total $3.03/bbl during the week, marking the fourth consecutive week for gains of $3-4/bbl. North Sea Brent gained about the same, up $3.09/bbl for the week. The April contract for heating oil "managed to more or less follow with an increase of $2.71/bbl, but RBOB gasoline was stalling and made a loss of 27¢/bbl," he said. Natural gas for April increased 1.9%, "and WTI is up $40.20/bbl from a year ago," Jakob said.
Meanwhile, the Ecuador government on Feb. 29 declared a force majeure on its oil exports after a mudslide ruptured some 80 m of the Trans-Ecuadorian Oil Pipeline System (SOTE) last week (OGJ Online, Feb. 29, 2008). Government officials estimated it would take 3-6 days to repair that pipeline that extends 312 miles from the Amazon region to the port of Balao on the Pacific Coast. That pipeline has a capacity of 390,000 b/d and carries an average of 360,000 b/d, primarily for the state oil company, Petroecuador, which exports about 167,000 b/d. Some 4,000 bbl of crude were spilled by the mishap.
In other news, Noble Drilling Corp. and Transocean Inc. are challenging the Nigerian government's plan to reclassify drilling rigs as ships, which would impose a 2% tax on revenues from those units. That would be "clearly bearish for both companies, but instincts point to resolution as such a move would push available capacity out of the region at a time when Nigerian oil output faces internal problems," Raymond James analysts said.
Energy prices
The April contract dipped by 75¢ to $101.84/bbl Feb. 29 on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The May contract lost 83¢ to $101.42/bbl. On the US spot market, WTI at Cushing, Okla., was down 75¢ to $101.85/bl. Heating oil for March slipped by 0.59¢ to $2.84/gal on NYMEX. The March contract for reformulated blend stock for oxygenate blending (RBOB) gained 1.66¢ to $2.51/gal, however.
The April natural gas contract lost 7.7¢ to $9.37/MMbtu on NYMEX. On the US spot market, gas at Henry Hub, La., increased 1¢ to $9.12/MMbtu.
In London, the April IPE contract for North Sea Brent crude dropped 80¢ to $100.10/bbl. Gas oil for March gained $7.50 to $915/tonne.
The average price for the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries' basket of 12 reference crudes escalated by $1.51 to $96.50/bbl. The average price for OPEC's basket of crudes so far this year is $89.63/bbl.

Ack! Nicole Scherzinger Nearly Has Wardrobe Malfunction With Thigh-High Slit Dress
Nicole Scherzinger learned a very important style lesson Wednesday night: leave the dramatic slit dresses to Angelina Jolie's right leg.
Attending the U.K. premiere of Men in Black 3, Scherzinger wore a strapless, black Cengiz Abazoglu Haute Couture gown boasting a risque, thigh-high slit--and had to be careful to cover up when a gust of wind nearly caused an humiliating wardrobe malfunction. (Though she was mocked for her over-the-top red carpet pose, Jolie stunned in a velvet Atelier Versace gown with a similarly high slit at the Academy Awards in February).

The former X-Factor judge--who appears in Men in Black's third installment alongside Will Smith, Josh Brolin, and Tommy Lee Jones--was accompanied by her on-again beau Lewis Hamilton.
Scherzinger, 33, and her Formula One star beau split ways at the end of 2011; soon after, the Pussycat Dolls frontwoman confessed to The Mirror that she still had feelings for her ex.
"I still love him," she revealed. "It's all very recent and it's hard for me to talk about."

Just before Valentine's Day, however, the pair reunited and have been going strong ever since.
Speaking to Hello! magazine, the singer explained she feels good about where she is with Hamilton, 27, whom she first met in 2007.
"I believe in [love] more with each year--every girl does," she said. "We all strive to find a soulmate. Have I found mine yet? Keep watching!"

There does appear to be a connection between gum disease, in particular, and heart disease. Research suggests that chronic inflammation causes heart disease, Ryan noted, and gum disease "is the most common chronic inflammatory condition in the world. Unfortunately, periodontitis -- or gum disease -- is often a silent disease that goes undetected and untreated."

Supporters stage Kan. vigil for 'Dream 9' group
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - Nine immigrant activists detained in Arizona after demanding re-entry from Mexico on humanitarian grounds are now on a hunger strike seeking their release, supporters and family members said Friday.
Among those pleading for the group's freedom were the Wichita sisters of 37-year-old Claudia Amaro, a member of the group dubbed the "Dream 9" following their detentions Monday. Her family spoke at a news conference and prayer vigil Friday in Wichita organized by Sunflower Community Action.
Amaro was brought illegally into the U.S. as a child after her father and uncle were killed in Mexico, family members said. She lived in the United States for more than 20 years but returned to Mexico six years ago with her U.S.-born son after her husband's deportation. Her husband was deported after pleading guilty to using a false Social Security card. Amaro had been charged with falsely representing herself as a U.S. citizen, but prosecutors dropped that case.
Her 31-year-old sister, Angelica Amaro, told reporters Friday that her own fear of deportation has kept her silent.
"Up to this point that fear has been greater than the fear of speaking out about the injustice immigrants face in this country. But no more," she said. "My sister made the hard decision too. I am proud of her and I am proud of her choice. ... She has chosen to put her body on the line to protect her family, to protect her son and to protect justice."
Claudia Amaro was arrested Monday when she and other activists who had been brought to the U.S. illegally as children and later returned to Mexico staged a well-publicized return to the U.S. at Nogales, Ariz. They were detained after filing applications for humanitarian parole.
Some of the activists were with the National Immigrant Youth Alliance. Mohammad Abbollahi, an organizer with the National Immigrant Youth Alliance, said in a phone interview Friday that the detained activists began a hunger strike at 2 p.m. Thursday seeking their release. He said group members have been threatened with solitary confinement if they skipped another meal.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement issued a statement late Friday saying the agency is limited on what case-specific details it can provide due to privacy concerns.
"ICE takes the health, safety, and welfare of those in our care very seriously," the agency said. "In 2009, ICE initiated fundamental detention reforms including the development of new detention standards and the agency is continually working to ensure these reforms are consistently implemented at all facilities that house ICE detainees."
Another of Claudia Amaro's sisters, 34-year-old Brenda Amaro, recounted for reporters the difficulties her sister's family encountered after returning to Mexico, a country she barely remembered, six years ago. The couple's 13-year-old son, who is now living with his grandmother in Arizona, was mistreated by his peers in Mexico because he speaks with an American accent. Her husband, Yamil Yaujar, was abducted by gang members and held until the family could pay his ransom, her sister said.
Brenda Amaro said her sister had "nothing to lose" when she joined the protest in Nogales.
"She joined them to expose the fact she is without no country, to expose harsh deportation policies of the Obama administration. She joined them to expose the harsh conditions in detention centers," Brenda Amaro said. "She is doing this not just for herself and her family, she is doing this for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in this country."
Claudia Amaro's husband was deported after pleading guilty in 2005 to misuse of a Social Security number and making a false statement, court records show. He admitted the couple opened a checking account using a false Social Security number. He also admitted using a false Social Security number on tax returns and in a bankruptcy case sparked by foreclosure proceedings on their home.
The case against his wife, who at the time was using her married name of Claudia A. Yaujar, was dismissed without prejudice, meaning it could be refiled. It was not clear from court records whether she too was deported. Federal prosecutors said at the time that they had an ongoing investigation and anticipated of filing additional charges against her in the future.

Abandoned mobile homes can be an eyesore, blighting the surrounding area. Abandoned mobile homes often become havens for criminal activities or partying youth. Unfortunately, they can also attract curious children, who can be trapped or injured inside.
The North Carolina Association of County Commissioners estimates that there may be as many as 40,000 abandoned mobile homes in the state. Identifying the problems associated with these deserted, dilapidated, and unused mobile homes has been the easy part. Finding a solution has been more challenging. Property owners are oftentimes unable or unsure of how to demolish and dispose of old mobile homes, and few companies specialize in such work. So, once a mobile home is no longer habitable, it is often just left behind to slowly rot away.
To help solve this problem and begin to rid Buncombe County of unused and abandoned mobile homes, Buncombe County Solid Waste is now helping citizens remove unwanted mobile homes in a responsible and nonpolluting manner. The costs to remove the mobile homes are covered by the County. Removal is free to the property owner.
This is a voluntary program, so property owners must request this service. Removal by the County is subject to these conditions:
If you own an unused mobile home or are aware of mobile homes in your area that appear to be abandoned, dilapidated, or unwanted, please contact Roger Presley at the Buncombe County Solid Waste Department at 250-5470.

In appearance, Golden Rule is an art gallery and boutique. In principle, it's "a social experiment in creativity and commerce." And in practice, it's an exercise in self-help therapy. One thing its owner, Wynde Dyer, wants you to know is that Golden Rule is not just a place where she sells her "dead mom's clothes."
Although it is that, too.
Tucked in the back of a chic East Burnside complex of stores and galleries, the space changes every month, as a new artist's work is showcased on the walls and a new inventory of clothing, jewelry, furniture and objects—including drawers full of family photos—are brought in from Dyer's collection and consignors to complement it. The eclectic, approachable 30-year-old calls this month "Mad Men meets Alaskan cabin in the woods." Primal, figurative black-and-white prints and drawings of ambiguous wildlife forms from local artist Lynn Yarne are complemented by classic 1940s-'60s women's fall fashion—feminine shapes in jewel tones and wool, along with Danish modern furniture and rustic odds and ends.
Eccentric objects with handwritten tags describing their history are carefully placed on every item, tucked into drawers and waiting to be discovered. Some labels are straightforward, like "denture mold" or "domestic cat pelt from Germany"; others are deeply personal—the tag for a sculpture made of nails reads, "made by Wynde when she went crazy in 2002."
A majority of the clothing sold in the store belonged to Dyer's mother, Morena Threse Faust, who passed away in March at the age of 56 from acute alcohol poisoning, complicated by a heart condition induced by long-term chronic stress. Faust had a hard life, and she dealt with it in a variety of destructive ways—alcohol, drugs, men, sex, overworking and overshopping. Faust was a hoarder, and clothes were her specialty. She left behind a home in Hanford, Calif., filled floor to ceiling with nearly every scrap of paper, toothbrush and pill bottle she ever owned—elements from every failed relationship and business endeavor—and an impressive collection of high-end vintage fashion from the mid-1800s to the 1980s.
At the end of 15 full days of cleaning and one massive yard sale, Dyer was left with a 17-foot U-Haul truck packed to capacity, half with clothing. At the time she didn't know she would open a store. She had recently left her job as a life coach and checked herself into an intensive out-patient care program in Portland after having a nervous breakdown—one of many in her life that have caused, in her words, "personal, professional and educational difficulties."
While cleaning out the house, Dyer found documentation that she had been sexually abused by one of her mother's boyfriends as a child. But she took the stuff to Portland and in June started a business that confronted these issues.
The space was to be called Golden, in honor of her mother—the color of her hair, the jewelry she wore and the state she called home. But Golden, Dyer found out amid branding, was taken by another business in Portland. She freaked out. But then her therapist suggested Golden Rule—a defining maxim for a space that eludes definition.
TIME WARP: Wynde Dyer's family photos of her mother, Morena Threse Faust. Photos courtesy of Wynde Dyer
Through Golden Rule, Dyer is honoring her mother, treating her and her possessions the way she would want to be treated. And then there are the 30-plus people, previously strangers to Dyer, who now volunteer at the space—the golden rule isn't lost on them either. They're emerging jewelry, clothing and furniture designers, photographers, artists, curators, aspiring small-business or gallery owners—creative people looking for a change, people exactly like Dyer—and her store has given them a space where they can learn, gain experience and take steps toward their creative pursuits.
And by sorting and selling her mother's stuff, categorizing and curating it on a month-to-month basis, Dyer is confronting her past, her problems and her own issues with materialism. She is taking care of herself—finally treating herself the way she wants to be treated. "Each month I use the changing over of the space as an opportunity to un-stick that shit and be like, 'I can let go of this…I don't need to let that event that happened to me or these events that I brought upon myself define me as a person,'" Dyer says. She uses the space as a conceptual framework for her mourning and healing, beautifying it and making it consumable.
"This is totally flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants crazy shit," says Dyer—referring to opening a business with no money or experience, flipping its entire inventory each month, trusting complete strangers as business partners and dealing with her past in a public way.
But she's paying the bills (just barely), and has an army of volunteers and artists booked through June of 2011. She's doing it—and part of that she attributes to her mother, who Dyer says, despite her faults, always encouraged her to do whatever she wanted. "She did the best with the limited resources that she had."
GO: Golden Rule, 811 E Burnside St., Suite 122 (around back), 477-5124, goldenruleportland.com. November show opening at First Friday, 6-9 pm Friday, Nov. 5. Show runs through Sunday, Nov. 28. Golden Rule is open noon-6 pm daily.

Fun Fun Fun
Reviewed: 07 December 2014 by Jrok, a Straight Married Male
Always up for something new, my wife and I have joked about getting a swing for a while, and finally did it. The first time out of the box it paid for itself. With a big mirror in the vanity area by where we hung it, we both got one heck of a view. We set it up and didn't wait a second to push it to the limit, which we still haven't found (including the spring).
We were a little worried about it supporting her but it quickly quelled our doubts. We moved the support straps around quite a bit for different angles and positions. We even have had it supporting both of us at the same time (of course this is going to vary couple to couple).
Honestly, I couldn't miss the perfect spots, as it put her at the right height every time. It even made my job easier, as I just stood there and swung her back and forth on me (not bragging, but this move isn't for everyone, because going too far and swing back can really hurt you both, if you know what I mean). It also gave me a very usable handhold with the cross bar, making me feel like I was flying into her at times.
Installation is easy with even the lowest amount of skill. We used a good load-bearing support above our vanity entry that opens to the bedroom (which is really wide and open so there were not limits on movement). The eye bolt stays in place at all times and if seen we just explain it away saying it was for a plant or something. The eye bolt is very strong and supportive. The spring is much stronger than I ever hoped it would be. The swing itself was very comfortable and very adjustable. The top frame piece is great as a handhold and helps to keep you moving without worrying about getting tired. I'll be honest, I have even been in it several times, with no complaints.
If your are shy, I would say don't be afraid, go for it. It makes a regular night of play better than ever. You will find yourself using it more than you ever thought.
- Pros
- Perfect for all angles and types of play.
- Cons
- Um, nothing.
- Bottom line
- Never a dull moment!

360 Degrees of Pleasure
Reviewed: 25 March 2013 by Labyrinth, a Straight Going Steady Female
I have been wanting a Sex Swing for who knows how long but have never taken the leap to getting on. So when the chance to review it cropped up, I *cough* swung in with the chance!
The swing itself comes very well packaged with some innovative ideas on the box to help you get started. It is easily assembled once you find the right place n the ceiling to locate it and off you go.
The faux fur lining to the straps is a lovely touch, as it makes the swing very comfortable to sit in, whether you are getting up to naughty business or just fancy a god old swing. Mobility is easy and you will be able to pull off a wide variety of positions, only so far as your imagination goes. The set also comes with a blindfold, to turn it into more of a bondage game.
I would highly recommend anyone to get themselves one of these. It is definitely worth the investment and will strengthen the your relationship with crazy new sex positions or just being silly in a swing! We have already had hours of fun and think this will become a regular in our night time antics.
- Pros
- Easily assembled, comfortable to be in.
- Cons
- Nothing!
- Bottom line
- The possibilities are endless! So much fun for the bedroom.

Adds some spice
Reviewed: 04 February 2014 by starstruck, a Straight Married Female
Bought this for my OH's Birthday!
We are both quite shy and I thought it might help break the ice. The huge grin on his face when he opened it said it all!
It is well made and we screwed the hook into a joist in the bedroom, which is not that obvious. It does get a little getting used to and there are plenty of ideas on the box for those who don't have the imagination for positions. I also looked up some positions on the internet.
It has certainly got us talking a little more openly about our likes and dislikes, which can only be a good thing. We have also had some great sex using the swing!
The 360 degree definitely adds something extra!
- Pros
- Adds some extra spice and some great sex.
- Cons
- Not as comfortable as I was hoping for.
- Bottom line
- 360 degree swing a little pricey, but has certainly added some extra fun.

The Good Wife: Pilot (series premiere)
As Alicia Florrick, the wife of a Chicago prosecutor who was caught sucking the toes of prostitutes and forced to resign, Julianna Margulies masters the shell-shocked, distant gaze. Her eyes, in fact, fixate on a stray thread on his suit. But the fog lifts quickly and away from the podium, reality comes in the form of a smack in the face. She delivers the smack, and from that moment, you're on her side. Maybe it was a cheap trick, but it worked.
The Good Wife is a very good show. It has the feel of Judging Amy, the kind of solid, character-driven drama that can get under your skin and keep you coming back for more. Alicia's no Tammy Wynette, although she does stand by her man in that she doesn't divorce him. It's the best Julianna Margulies' work since ER.
Six months after the scene at the podium, Alicia's dusted off her legal degree from Georgetown and -- using her connections -- landed a job as an associate with a law firm. It's not a lark. She needs the money, and has already sold the house and moved, with her two teens, into an apartment. It's realistic, and so is her visit to see Peter in prison (he's being tried for abuse of power) when she rejects his promise that soon everything will be back to normal. "It will never be normal again."
Alicia's thrown into the deep end of the pool at the law firm; it's sink or swim time. There are smiling faces in the firm ready to stab her in the back, many underestimating her, but Alicia finds the muscles she hasn't used for years and gets to work. A tip from Peter helps, but Alicia does the detail work to help her client.
Interestingly, she's stuck with Peter's last name and it works for and against her. But her success, at least in the pilot, is more about her due diligence. But just as she tastes victory and feels good about herself and her future -- including the hint of something-something with her boss -- she gets a phone message from her husband. He says "I love you" and it's all about him and his case. What does Alicia really want?
Other points of interest
• Alicia's ring tone is The Twilight Zone theme.
• The supporting cast is excellent -- many with fans from other shows, including Chris Noth, Christine Baranski, Josh Charles and Matt Czuchry.
• Really liked the chemistry between Margulies and Archie Panjabi, who played the investigator.
• In an ironic twist, which Alicia recognizes, her mother-in-law takes on the homemaker role and Alicia's forced to fill Peter's shoes.

Aaron Rodgers Returns In A Winner Take All Matchup
With the question of "will he" or "won't he" finally answered, we can now focus on the matchup between the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. The winner of this game will win the NFC North division and host a first round playoff game.
The Vegas line before the announcement Rodgers would play had the Bears favored by 3.5 points. The line after the announcement changed to favor the Packers by 2.5 points.
Clearly having arguably the NFL's best quarterback back under center is a game changer.
While having Rodgers back is a big positive for the Packers, there are two other phases of the game that will play a large part.
The Packers defense is currently ranked 26th, while the Bears offense is ranked 8th. The Bears have elite talent on offense and will pose a major challenge to a Packers defense that has struggled.
Bears wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall come into the game with 2560 receiving yards, and 18 TD's between them.
Running back Matt Forte has 1229 yards, and 9 all-purpose TD's.
The story in Chicago however is at the quarterback position where Jay Cutler has been re-inserted as the starter after missing four weeks with a groin injury. Before Cutler returned, backup Josh McCown was very productive averaging 352 yards per game, and a 9/1 TD to interception ratio over that stretch.
Since Cutler has returned he's struggled, averaging 243 yards, and a 4/3 TD to interception ratio.
In the Bears last game in Philadelphia, Cutler only completed 57% of his passes. Bears coach Marc Trestman said he is committed to Cutler and he will continue to start.
The Bears have also had their problems on defense. In Philadelphia, with a chance to clinch the division title, the Bears defense gave up an eye popping 519 yards and were beaten 54-11.
The Bears rank dead last in the NFL in rush defense, giving up 161.5 yards per game. The Packers rush offense is ranked 4th averaging 131.7 yards per game. Obviously the Packers will need to attack with Eddie Lacy, if cleared to play (ankle), and James Starks.
The Packers have had their problems stopping the run as well. They rank 26th overall allowing an average of 125.3 yards per game.
The Packers defensive line absolutely needs to be more productive. In the Packers last game against the Steelers, the defensive line didn't register one single tackle.
The Packers are extremely thin at outside linebacker with Clay Matthews ruled out with a broken thumb. Linebacker Mike Neal is also banged up, but should play. Between him and Andy Mulumba, they will have to step up and try to fill the void of Matthews' loss.
For the Packers offense, Randall Cobb will be activated and make his return after missing 10 games with a leg injury. Cobb may be limited, but has the ability to roll some coverage away from wide receivers Jordy Nelson and James Jones.
This will be a fantastic, high energy game with the winner moving to the playoffs, and the loser starting draft prep.
A lot of points will be scored in this game, and the team that takes care of the ball the best will win.
Go Pack Go!

Men's Soccer Claims Multiple MVC Honors
OMAHA, Neb. (Nov. 8) - The Creighton men's soccer team claimed three specialty awards and placed six student-athletes on Missouri Valley All-Conference teams, the league announced Thursday evening at the Men's Soccer Championship banquet hosted by Bradley.
Senior co-captain Jose Gomez became the 11th player in program history to take home MVC Player of the Year Honors. The Bluejays have won the award on 12 occasions as Ethan Finlay earned the accolade for a second time last season.
Fellow senior co-captain Andrew Ribeiro claimed MVC Defensive Player of the Year recognition. It marks the ninth time that a CU player won claimed the award.
The MVC recognized CU's Timo Pitter as the Freshman of the Year. Creighton first-year players have claimed four of the last five freshman honors in the league. Pitter is the seventh Bluejay to earn the laurel.
Sophomore midfielder Eric Miller joined Gomez, Ribeiro and Pitter on the MVC First Team. Sophomore Jose Ribas was the only CU member of the MVC Second Team. Freshman defender Brendan Hines-Ike joined Pitter on the MVC All-Freshman team this year.
Gomez, a senior midfielder, has started each game for Jays this season. He claims three all-conference honors in his career at Creighton earning first team honors in 2010 as well as this season after making the All-MVC second team last year. On Oct. 15 Gomez earned Men's College Soccer National Player of the Week honors from TopDrawerSoccer.com after posting six points in road victories at Princeton (Oct. 9) and at UCA ( Oct. 13).
He currently leads MVC with eight assists and 44 total shots. Gomez ranks second in conference with 50 total shots. He is second on the team and tied for fourth in MVC with 16 points (four goals and eight assists) this season. Gomez has posted at least one shot in each game this season and notched a shot on goal in 13 contests.
Ribeiro, a senior defender, has started each contest for CU this year. He was named MVC Defensive Player of the Week on three occasions this season. Ribeiro earned All-MVC Honorable Mention honors a year ago.
Ribeiro is also a threat on offense. He scored the game-winning goal off a header from 10 yards out vs. SIUE on Oct. 6. His first goal of the season and each of his last five goals have been game-winning tallies. This season he was named to Ameritas Classic All-Tournament Team and was also recognized as part of the Creighton Invitational All-Tournament Team. Ribeiro leads team with 1,660 minutes played this season while logging 77 minutes or more in each match.
Pitter, who has tallied five goals in the last five matches, leads the Jays eight goals and 26 shots on goal this year. His 54 total shots top the MVC rankings and he ranks first in the conference at 3.00 shots per game. Pitter leads the MVC with 18 points (eight goals, two assists).
His eighth goal helped CU clinch its 12th regular season MVC Championship at Evansville on Nov. 3.
Pitter won his first MVC offensive Player of the Week honor for his efforts at UE. He recorded his first two-goal match of career with two scores at Central Arkansas (Oct. 13).
Miller claimed his second career honor from the MVC this season after recognition on the 2011 MVC All-Freshman team. He has started all 15 contests for the Jays this season in which he has played.
He was one of 19 players selected to play for the U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team. He made his first start of the trip (Oct. 16), playing all 90 minutes in a 3-2 win over Azerbaijan. He played 69 minutes off the bench in a 2-1 loss to Canada (Oct. 10) and logged 63 minutes in a 2-0 win over Scotland (Oct. 12) at Marbella Cup in Spain.
Miller has logged at least one shot on goal in each of the last six matches. Off the field he was selected as 2012 Capital One Academic All-District VII First Team selection by CoSIDA in early November.
Sophomore defender Jose Ribas has started all 18 games for the Jays this season. He is second on the team with five assists and ranks third on the squad with 14 shots on goal.
Ribas is third on the team this season with nine points (two goals, five assists) and has posted at least one shot attempt in 15 of 18 games played.
Last week Ribas assisted on the game-winning goal at Evansville on a corner entry. He has been honored a conference high of three occasions this fall as the MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week.
Freshman defender Hines-Ike has played in each game this year and claims 12 starts. Despite playing primarily on the defensive end he posted first career shot on goal vs. St. Louis (Sept. 22). He kicked another shot on goal at Drake (Sept. 29)
Hines-Ike has logged 90 minutes or more on the pitch six times this season including each of the last three matches. His 1,214 minutes played this season ranks second in the freshman class behind fellow honoree Pitter.
The Bluejays enter this week's conference tournament seeking their 13th Valley tourney crown. CU has won 12 titles in 21 tournament appearances and is 31-8-1 all-time in tourney matches after claiming the postseason championship last season.
Creighton will face No. 5 Drake in the semifinals at 3 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 in Peoria, Ill., and will be streamed live, free of charge, by the MVC at Valley-Live.TV. Live stats and video links are provided at GoCreighton.com.
The Bulldogs upset No. 4 Evansville in a Wednesday quarterfinal 2-1 to advance. CU traveled to Drake to open the 2012 conference regular season on Sept. 29 and came away with a 0-0 draw in Des Moines. The Jays are 5-1 against DU in the MVC tournament and hold a 22-3-8 advantage in the all-time series with the Bulldogs.

OK, I know loads of people have had a similar problem to this, but I just can't get to the bottom of it...
I have followed the apache jakarta tutorial to get the pooling working, and it works a treat. So, I decided to get it working so that instead of http://localhost:8080... I would create a virtual host for the application. So, I put the appropriate line in the 'hosts' file, added the appropriate 'Host' tag in server.xml, then hit the application at http://blah.com:8080/.
This works, sort of. It successfully renders the default jsp page (as expected), but when I try and use any kind of datbase connection (log in) I get the proverbial "Cannot create JDBC driver of class '' for connect URL 'null'". Weird.
I have the application in a subdirectory of webapps, so I have /webapps/testapp/WEB-INF etc...
I get the same behaviour if I hit http://blah.com:8080/testapp - renders the page but get the error on attempting database connection.
The Context element in server.xml looks like this:
" docBase="testapp" crossContext="false" debug="0" reloadable="true" useNaming="true" override="true">
