Will Kerry fund real probe if House member seeks Ohio elector challenge?
by Tom Flocco
WashingtonDecember 13, 2004TomFlocco.comAfter listening to unofficial but stunning testimony concerning evidence of state-wide vote fraud during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on 2004 election irregularities in Ohio, ranking Democrat John Conyers (D-14-MI) was asked whether he would consider challenging the seating of Buckeye state electors on January 6 when Congress opens the presidential electoral college vote certifying the election of George W. Bush.
|According to pre-General Election filings and the Center for Public Integrity (11-1-2004), the Kerry Campaign has $51.6 million cash-on-hand--more than enough for recounts, legal battles, voting machine tabulator analysis and other investigations in Ohio in order to make a clear-cut case for vote fraud.
|Many Democrats think John Kerry's concession to George Bush at 11:00 AM on November 3 was a mistake--given the pre-election indications and signals that Ohio's Republican state election supervisor Kenneth Blackwell was going to play hard-ball by issuing massive vote challenges. Al Gore "un-conceded" in 2000 after he saw less evidence of "irregularities" in Florida than current Buckeye vote fraud lawsuits have turned up in Ohio.

Kerry. Bush won Ohio by 136,000 votes out of 5.8 million cast; but multiple lawsuits in Ohio regarding evidence of vote fraud may prove otherwise.

As of Tuesday, December 10, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Rockdale Citizen
CONYERS — Rockdale County employees won't have an additional holiday during Christmas week this year, following a vote by the Board of Commissioners Tuesday morning.
Based on the additional cost to the county, Post 1 Commissioner Oz Nesbitt and Post 2 Commissioner JaNice Van Ness opposed a resolution that would have designated Monday, Dec. 23, as a paid holiday.
During the presentation of the resolution at Tuesday's Board of Commissioners meeting, Finance Director Roselyn Miller said it costs approximately $100,000 per work day to pay all county employees. An additional holiday would cost the county about $50,000 more in order to pay employees who are required to work on that day.
Under the county's holiday policy, full-time, non-exempt employees who are scheduled to work on a holiday receive holiday pay as well as pay for the hours that they work during the holiday.
Full-time salaried employees who are scheduled to work on a holiday receive the holiday pay along with pay for hours worked during the holiday, not to exceed their regular weekly salary plus the paid holiday, according to county policy.
Van Ness pointed out that the county has already designated an additional holiday this calendar year, which was July 5. In her seven years on the board, Van Ness said she has never been asked to consider adding two holidays to the employee calendar.
While she said she supports the county employees, Van Ness said the county doesn't have the funds to add the holiday, noting that employees have personal days they can use.
Nesbitt agreed, also saying that he is a "strong advocate for our employees."
"Everything has a dollar amount attached to it; nothing is free," he said.
"I support the position of Commissioner Van Ness," he added. "I don't see that we can afford this at this particular time."
Commission Chairman Richard Oden said that county employees had requested the additional holiday but that he had placed it on the agenda for the board's consideration.
Van Ness made a motion to remove the resolution from the board's agenda. Nesbitt supported the motion, with Oden in opposition.
The county's normal paid holidays are New Year's Day, Martin Luther King's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

CARLSBAD The Cavemen found themselves on the wrong end of the score after Goddard Rockets quarterback Anthony Ornelas hit wide receiver Dean McDaniel on a 14-yard pass to stay undefeated and remain the state's top ranked team.
"Overall, our effort was great, but it didn't go the way we wanted it," Carlsbad coach Ron Arrington said. "I was proud how they handle themselves, and that was a good team we played out there."
The Cavemen scored all 17 points in the first half and had kept the Rockets in check for most of the night, but Goddard found a way to score when they needed most, leaving the Cavemen wondering about missed opportunities.
"Our kids played hard, but when you have the chance to put someone away, you have to take those opportunities,"
The Cavemen's opening drive stalled inside the Rocket's 10-yard line but kicker Justin Rhoades booted a 27 yard field goal to give Carlsbad a 3-0 lead with less than 10 minutes left in the first quarter.
The Cavemen lead was extended to 10-0 after a nine-play drive paid off with a six-yard pass from quarterback Rodney Holcomb to wide receiver Josh Miller for a touchdown with 38 seconds left in the first period.
Carlsbad missed the chance to extend the lead when a pitch play resulted in a fumble, turning the ball over in the redzone. The Cavemen defense held and the wind caught a Rockets punt to give the ball back to Carlsbad at the Goddard 31.
This time the Cavemen weren't going to let another opportunity in Rocket territory slip away as a pass across the middle from Holcomb to wide receiver Tyler Hyden to the three yard line, setting up a three yard plunge by running back Dillion Caddell for a 17-0 lead.
The Rockets finally got on the board after a fake punt was converted for a first down before Goddard running back Josh Quiroz danced his way to a 20-yard score to cut Carlsbad's lead to 17-7.
Goddard struck first in the second half after an eight-play, 55-yard drive ended in a 10-yard pass from Ornelas to McDaniel. The extra-point conversion was no good, leaving the Rockets down 17-13.
The Cavemen looked like they would be forced to punt again on the next drive, but a penalty before the play gave Carlsbad a second chance to convert the first down. The Cavemen then ran their way down inside the five yard line, but penalties, mistakes, and equipment issues lead to a missed 33-yard field goal for the Cavemen.
The missed field goal came back to haunt the Cavemen when the Rockets drove deep into Cavemen territory before facing a fourth down with 19 seconds left and Ornelas finding McDaniel for the game winning touchdown.

Hi there,
my husband and I are flying to Seattle in May and stay there with a friend for a week and will then rent a car and drive to San Francisco.
Any suggestions on what to see on the way. We like all kinds of things like parks,lakes, shops, museums, historical sites. We do hike a bit tooLYSs and Fabric stores included (ok that is more me than DH…)
Recommendations for small hotels/b&bs would be cool too, we'd rather spend a little more and stay in a nice place than paying little money and stay in an anonymus hotel….
And I would be happy to meet up with people somewhere along the road, so if you are in the area and would love to go for a coffeeI don't bite ;)
thanks!!! tini
------read my blog:
I recommend driving down the Oregon and Northern California coast instead of taking I-5 directly down. The drive is MUCH more interesting and beautiful with lots to do on the way.
Yes! Drive down highway 1 along the coast. There are lots of places to stop and picnic or hike along the way, as well as hotels and bed-and-breakfast places. Plan on taking 3 to 4 days, though.
ETA: Type a search for "Washington coast tourism" or "Oregon coast tourism" or "Northern California coast tourism" for a huge number of links with info about each state's coastal areas. -- Edited on 1/31/08 3:43 PM --
Sounds like a lovely trip! For your fabric fix, you want to plan some time in Portland, OR, as there are several very good fabric sources there. Friends recommended the Liberty School B&B in Portland; we haven't stayed there but they enjoyed it. And, while in Portland, you must go to Powell's, an amazing multistory (and multi-location) bookstore. You might even find some sewing books there! If there are specific types of things you'd like to do, list them and I'm sure you'll get some great recommendations. I'm just off I-5 in the Eugene, OR, area and would love to have a cup of tea or whatever.
Highway 1 is beautiful and often a very twisty road. Hopefully, no one gets carsick. In May, the drive from Ashland OR to Redding CA over I-5 is nice, with dogwoods and redbuds blooming along side the road and snowy Mt Shasta to look at. Ashland is the home of an excellent Shakespeare festival and their season will have begun by then. They do non-Shakespearean plays as well. It's a pretty town in a pretty setting so that's a thought. There are some good places to stop for a meal in Dunsmuir, just south of Mt Shasta. I'll be glad to fill in details if this interests you. We have stayed in the motel that is made of old railroad cars just south of town and loved it. Very clean and a beautiful view of Castle Crags rock formation. I-5 is pretty boring south of Redding since it's the north end of a 500 mile long valley with agriculture as its main interest.
In the Grants Pass area (north of Ashland), you can detour and take a trip on the Rogue River or you can cut over to the coast from there.
I won't go into northern California places because I haven't been there recently enough to be helpful.
R-r-r-ripping my way to fitting success
If you like antiques, quilts and knitting . . . come to historic Brownsville. Just east of I-5, about 2+ hours south of Portland. We have a brand new quilt shop, a knitting parlour and antique stores plus the Calapooia river, Moyer House and Pioneer museum. The movie Stand By Me was filmed here. This webpage will tell you all about us! Have a wonderful trip!
ETA: We hosted a boy from Germany last school year from near Dusseldorf. He was a joy! -- Edited on 1/31/08 7:26 PM --
I agree with the advice to drive down the coast on highway 1. The Skunk Train is an old fashioned train that meanders through the redwoods from Fort Bragg to Willits. Mendocino is a beautiful place, also has a botanical garden (although I've never been there - I hope to someday). My grandparents used to love to stay at Heritage House in Little River, just south of Mendocino, right on the ocean. Fort Ross is an old Russian Fort - there is a rhododendron reserve nearby. There's the Point Reyes national seashore. You could also go inland a bit and drive through Napa Valley if you like wine country. Then there's Sausalito, just before you cross the Golden Gate bridge into San Francisco. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Some of the things I would do in Seattle:
1). Go to the Ballard Locks. I am still fascinated by the whole procedure of lowering and raising water to get the boats through. There are some very nice restaurants in the Ballard area.
2). Go to where the Seattle World's Fair was, and go up the Space Needle.
3.) I would go to this: Experience Music Project
4.)Pike Place Market Go see the flying fish!
5.) Mount Rainier! Its absolutely breathtaking!
Mount Rainier
6.) Woodland Park Zoo Woodland Park Zoo
7.) On your way down, on I-5, there is also Mount. St. Helens to see....Mount St. Helens
Definitely take 101 from Portland down, my fav places are Astoria, Cannon Beach, and Tillamook. You have to stop at Tillamook's cheese factory and get one of the best ice cream cones you will ever eat!
I know this is a long list, but perhaps now you have some ideas as to what you might encounter on your trip and drive. If I hear of any B and B's from my Seattle friends, I will post.
What fun!

Hi Tini,
You and your husband are in for a delightful trip! The one hotel I can personally recommend is The Sylvia Beach Hotel in Newport, OR, especially if you have a literary bent. And the Aquarium, also in Newport, is fantastic - this is where the orca Keiko was rehabilitated before being set free.
If you do pass through Portland, in addition to Powell's Books - a must see for book lovers - the fabric stores Mill End Store, Woolen Mill Store and Josephine's Dry Goods are all fantastic, as is the Button Emporium. However, if you decide on the coast route, you may want to bypass Portland, although it is only about a two hour drive from the coast.
Cannon Beach USED to be a great artists' colony, but it was "discovered" and now real artists cannot afford to live there anymore. There are still numerous galleries and interesting shops. At one time in the 1970's (I think, or 80's) the mayor was Joe Police, a noted sculptor and watercolorist. And M. K. Wren's series of mystery books was based on the real Cannon Beach Book Store, complete with resident cat.
I agree with the others who posted various places along the coast, especially the Tillamook Cheese factory. When I first took the factory tour many decades ago, you were able to walk around among the huge vats, but for sanitary reasons, now you can only observe from the other side of large glass windows. I still buy Tillamook cheese, butter and ice cream for the quality, and because it is a local (sort of) business. Their Tillamook Mudslide ice cream (dark chocolate fudge ribbons in chocolate ice cream!!!) is my favorite.
I am not an outdoors person, so cannot recommend hikes etc. But you will find more than enough to keep you busy, active and entertained.
You did not state how much time you will have to spend; I would recommend at least two weeks for the coast route, although more time would allow for more things.
Do let us know how your plans develop. I'm sure many of us will be following them with envy!

Tini, if you do decide to go through Ashland, there is a historic hotel called Ashland Springs Hotel. It is wonderful!! There is a really nice little fabric shop that has a combination of quilting and some fashion fabrics. It is on the same street as the hotel, just a few blocks away..
Highway 1 at the Northern CA coast is gorgeous!! If you have the chance, go to Trinidad, a small coastal town. The state park - Patrick's Point, North of Trinidad is stunning.
Have a wonderful trip!! -- Edited on 1/31/08 9:27 PM --
Highway 1 is a torture test for people who get carsick. That road will suck all the enjoyment out of your drive faster than you can say barf bag! If carsickness is a possibility, be sure to stock up on dramamine.

Hirano Aya -- Yes, She Really Does have a Big Forehead
But as usual, Aya is perfectly willing to make a bit of fun of her own image. She tied her hair up in a topknot in order to remove her makeup and found that her forehead is "five fingers high."
Personally, I always think high forehead = big brain.
The pic is from a quick one-day trip to Okinawa for a photo shoot on Saturday. She left Tokyo Friday night, after some TV work.
On the TV side, she has a new gig as the Web page "navigator" for the business side of the Fuji TV network. Check out the Fuji TV Business home page. She works for the operation's editorial department.
Here are a couple of photos. First is a pic from the first photo session for the new job at Fuji. You'll see the same outfit on the Fuji Business home page.

I thought everyone has a big forehead when they pull their hair back. She doesn't look like she has a giant forehead in the last pics you posted.

I used to be an Aya hater.
Then I saw her reality show (Hirano Aya Dake) and realized she would be a pretty cool person to hang out with.
At least she has a sense of humor about her image.

LOL! What a hilarious photo! Of course the forehead looks bigger when you lean into the camera like that, look at the distortion on the chin; it's called foreshortening.
Anyways wasn't high foreheads an idealized form of beauty in the Heian period? Maybe she should do some period dramas. :D

I think that first picture is the prettiest one I've seen of her.
Again, everyone has a big forehead if they pull their hair back. But you said that before her medical problems earlier this year that she was losing hair, right? Maybe she's always had thin hair.
Minori Chihara was also in Okinawa recently for a photo shoot. Was Aya there at the same time, or was it perhaps a Haruhi event? I don't think Minorin mentioned bumping into Aya down there.

Big forehead or not I still love her as a fan.
She's talented.

Actually, having a big forehead is NOT really great.
Having big forehead means, you must always have hair fringes. Otherwise, it will make your forehead bigger. It restricts the hairstyle a person can have. Hirano Aya can never have a ponytail image, because her forehead is too big.
I feel for her.

I never get the haters. She's not doing bad as a voice actress, she's very good in fact, easily beating, say toyosaki san? (I never get the craze bout toyosaki san either). I not saying (toyosaki san) is bad, but Hirano surely deserve better credits in her efforts?

Fender GA45SCE Acoustic Electric Guitar with Case
What's to like about the Fender GA-45SCE … Everything! The shape, the sound, the tone, the neck, the playability, the action, the look. The electronics are awesome, it sounds incredible plugged in or unplugged!
The Grand auditorium body style has an excellent warm and full tone, and the size really lets the tone ring out. Great for blues, jazz, country, and slide style when using open tunings.
This is a good guitar for live shows because it looks great and stays in tune. The Fishman electronics work beautifully.
Fender`s Grand GA-45SCE guitar incorporates numerous features - body shape, bridge, and bracing that are Fender-designed and Fender-exclusive, like the Fender/Fishman® ACLR* Electronics system with accelerometer blend control.
This instrument also features a dove-tailed neck joint, abalone rosette, tortoise shell binding, solid AA Spruce top, solid back (Rosewood), Fender`s low-mass bridge design, and Grover tuning machines.
All in all, this is a guitar that sounds a lot more expensive than it is, and will last you a lifetime with its beautiful sound and versatility!
Fender GA45SCE Acoustic-Electric Guitar Includes:
- hardshell case

International Buyers – Please Note:
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying.
How do you pay for it?
We require Paypal payments at time of sale unless other arrangements are made prior to bidding.
Tennessee buyers or sales where the guitar will be shipped to Tennessee addresses, please note that sales tax of 9.25% will be added to the sales price at the time of payment.
So what's the story on our instruments?
Our guitars are not pre-owned. They have never been sold to a consumer.
We hand select all guitars that we offer for sale from the refurbisher's inventory of over 3000 guitars. We also test each guitar to ensure that all of the components work properly. As we offer each guitar for sale, we include information on any visible repairs and provide photos.
The refurbisher that we work with purchases guitars directly from the manufacturer. These guitars did not pass the manufacturers quality control or they were returned to the manufacturer from music stores unsold for one reason or other. Generally these guitars have minor finish imperfections, minor damage that occurred during manufacture, or minor issues with electronics or hardware. Music store returns may sometimes have been used as demos and may have light pick scratches or may have been overstocks of discontinued models.
The refurbisher uses a six step inspection process as part of their restoration process to ensure all issues are identified and corrected. We then inspect and test the electronics on all of our inventory before offering them for sale. Through this process we know that the guitars we offer have been MORE thoroughly inspected than their "new" counterparts. Our reputation is on the line with every guitar we sell and want to be sure that we offer only the best guitars.
So, what is the deal with the "used" stamp if these guitars are not "pre-owned"?
During the restoration process the guitar is stamped "used" in small letters on the back of the headstock. At the same time, the original serial number was removed and replaced with a serial number assigned by the refurbisher. This is done to prevent warranty claims as these guitars are offered without warranty.
How do we get it to you in one piece?
We will carefully pack the instrument. We prep the guitar for shipment by loosening the strings to reduce stress on the neck during shipping. The guitar will first be packed into a guitar box. It is then packed into a shipping box with additional padding for greater protection. We also have the shipment insured.

Now this is really important - What if there is a problem with the guitar once you get it?
We go the distance to make sure our customer's are satisfied with their new guitar. Satisfied customer make repeat customers. We take pride in our near 100% FEEDBACK SCORE. Here's your protection: You can return any guitar in the original condition within 3 business days of receiving it for any reason for a full refund.

The buyer is responsible for all return shipping costs. Our guitars are very high quality instruments and we're confident you'll really enjoy them.
International Customers - I am unable to offer a return policy on international sales. All international sales are final.
If the guitar is damaged when you receive it - You must notify us within 24 hours of receipt. Please retain all packing material. We will arrange for the return of the item and will handle all insurance claims. Once you have notified us of the damage we will give you instructions on what to do.
Feedback – We need your feedback.
Your feedback is critical to our success. Since we don't have a brick and mortar store-front, the only way new customers can get to know us is through the experiences of previous customers.
Once you have received your guitar and are satisfied with it (we are certain that you will be satisfied), please take a moment to submit positive feedback for us on ebay.
If (in the unlikely event) you are not satisfied in any way, please contact us with your concerns before posting feedback. We want to make sure you are satisfied with both your new guitar and with the service we have provided.

Gorman: Goodes living every amateur's dream
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Mike Goodes had his first pinch-me moment on the Champions Tour at the 2008 Regions Charity Classic in Birmingham, Ala.
Goodes shot a 65 for the first-round lead, putting him in the leader group the next day. On the third hole, he realized he was keeping the scorecard for Bernhard Langer, a two-time Masters champion.
The next moment came at the 2008 Tradition, when Goodes played in a threesome with PGA Tour icon Tom Watson and Fred Funk, who would beat Goodes by three strokes for his first senior major.
Five years later, Goodes (pronounced GOOD-ees) can't believe he's a professional golfer. And he's still scared to place an inch of skin between his finger and thumb.
"I don't want to pinch myself," Goodes, 56, said, "because I'm afraid I'll wake up."
Goodes is living the life most golfers only dream about. After an amateur career that included two North Carolina titles, he turned pro at 50 and took a shot at the senior circuit.
"He's a great story and a great guy," said Funk, his best friend on the tour. "He's such a genuine guy. That alone makes him so likable. Then the fact with his story, it's really unique. Not many can compete against guys that played PGA Tour golf for their whole career. A lot of guys think they can do it, and they just don't do it."
Not only is Goodes competing, but he's also in contention after almost two rounds at the Constellation Senior Players Championship.
Goodes was at 6-under-par through 32 holes, tied for fifth place with Funk and Michael Allen, when play was suspended because of rain Friday afternoon at Fox Chapel Golf Club.
That was after making five birdies and despite three-putting for bogey on Nos. 1 and 4.
If Goodes has a gripe with his game, it's that his putter isn't on par with many of the guys who spent their career playing golf.
"That's not surprising," Funk said. "If he just gets his putter going at all. ... He almost always is a great ball-striker. That's the strength of his game. He just needs to get it in the hole, just putt real solid, and he's going to be there.
"It's tough for him. He's made it, but he's got to do it every year. He's got to prove himself. He doesn't have that exempt status like I do, and other guys do who have the career money that they can just stay out here, so he's got to perform. That puts a lot more heat on him."
Believe it or not, the difficult part for Goodes was abandoning his amateur status. He didn't golf in college, married young and followed his father into the textile packaging business. He also owns a recycling company, so he was taking a major risk.
"I loved amateur golf," Goodes said. "It was a tough decision to give up my amateur status to come and play qualifiers. Losing my amateur status was big for me because it was a big part of my social life. I'm still in shock that I'm still playing out here, to be honest."
Now in his seventh season, Goodes has one victory on the Champions Tour (2009 Allianz) and four top-10 finishes. He has almost $3.5 million in career earnings, an unimaginable amount of money to him.
"And I love it," Goodes said Friday, while running on a treadmill after his round was stopped by the storm. "It's not work. It's what I did when I got off work. People say, 'Don't you want to take a day off?' This is what I did when I took a day off.
"The great thing is, you get to travel around the country and the world and play golf — and just write it off! Before, everything was after taxes."
Seriously, go ahead and name another sport where someone can turn pro at a time when his peers are planning retirement.
"I don't think there's any," Goodes said. "That's one of the great things about golf."
It's no wonder Goodes hears from aspiring amateurs, often in their late 40s, asking for advice on how to make the transition to the Champions Tour.
It's not as easy as Goodes makes it look. He had to qualify to qualify, so to speak, and earned $52,684 in his first season.
He found a partner to run his business, then went about working on his weaknesses.
"If I had a one-word statement to say how I did it, I'd write the manual," Goodes said. "It's been incredible. People say, 'You're living the dream,' but I never dreamt of this. This is way, way, way greater than anything I've ever dreamt."

CustomerBJ from San Diego CA
Very easy to use website. I put in model number, followed the parts to bottom rack, looked at picture, and selected the wheels and axles. Arrived quickly. It took only a couple of minutes to snap the wheels on the axles, and then snap them in place. Great experience! Made the dishwasher (bought in place with the new house) useable.

I removed the old ones (or atleast the ones that were still hanging on). I put the two pieces together (lower axle and wheel) and then just snapped them into place. Piece of cake even for a girl (which I am)
CustomerDanilel from Hillsborough NJ
replaced it.
CustomerLinda from Tucson AZ
I ordered both new wheels and stud that goes in the centers of each wheel. It took longer to cut the bags open than to install them. Works like a dream and no sqeaking and dishwasher works better since it is the correct distance from the water rotation arm on the bottom of the washer! Wonderful experience by an all thumbs do it yourselfer!

Territory police officer to appear in court for alleged dishonest dealings
- From: NT News
- April 23, 2014
A TERRITORY police officer has been suspended from duty for alleged stealing offences.
Debra Jane Carter, 53, was suspended after she was served with a "Notice to Appear" at Darwin Magistrates Court.
In a statement, NT Police said: "This information is released in accordance with the NT Police Transparency Guidelines."
No further details will be released as the matter is now before court, they said.
Carter was charged with two counts of stealing but the circumstances remain unheard in open court.
She is expected to plead guilty when she reappears next month.
Earlier this month, a 25-year-old police officer from Katherine was suspended from duty.
The suspension arose out of the member being subject to a criminal complaint regarding their conduct while off duty.

Having an iPod Touch 5 is almost like having an iPhone. The fifth-generation iPod Touch borrows a few specs from each of the recent iPhone generations. It has a display identical to the one on the iPhone 5, guts equivalent to some of those in the iPhone 4S, and a camera system similar, but superior. The new iPod touch houses a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera that shoots 1080p HD video and still images at 2592 by 1936. The front facing camera shoots stills at 1280 by 960 and video at 1280 by 720.
Like the iPhone 5, the latest iPod touch is taller than the previous one—measuring 4.86 inches versus the 4G iPod touch's 4.4 inches. It is 0.24 inches thick. And then there's the Lightning connector (a Lightning-to-USB cable is included in the box).
The battery life on the device seems to be excellent. Apple suggests that it will offer up to 40 hours of music playback on a full charge.
Height: 4.86 inches (123.4 mm)
Width: 2.31 inches (58.6 mm)
Depth: 0.24 inch (6.1 mm)
Weight: 3.10 ounces (88 grams)
The new Touch starts at $299, while the iPhone 5 — under an expensive 2-year carrier contract — starts at $199 (with the iPhone 4S at a mere $99).
iPod touch makes it easier and quicker than ever to stay in touch, with Facebook and Twitter integration, FaceTime, iMessage, and more. You'll have no problem staying in the know.

Representatives of Utah want congressional vote on Syria
A growing group of House members, including two Utahns, want a say in a potential U.S. military strike against the Syrian government in retaliation for the alleged chemical weapons attack that killed hundreds of civilians.
Reps. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, and Chris Stewart, R-Utah, were two of more than 116 signers of a letter urging President Barack Obama to obtain congressional authorization before going forward with the limited missile strikes that he is considering.
The White House says it has yet to make a decision on a response and will consult with congressional leaders, though the administration has given no indication that it would seek a vote on the military action.
Matheson, one of 19 Democrats to sign the letter, said Congress has a responsibility to be involved in such a decision and while the chemical attack in Syria is "horrific," he worries about the potential scope of any strike. He wants it to have a clear goal that avoids a long-term entanglement in the protracted civil war that has resulted in more than 100,000 deaths.
"It is not clear to me yet what that defined mission would be," he said.
Stewart said he signed the bipartisan letter sponsored by Rep. Scott Rigell, R-Va., to protect the nation's separation of powers. He gave no opinion on whether a military response to the alleged chemical attack is warranted.
"It only urges President Obama to consult and receive authorization from Congress before using any sort of U.S. military force in Syria," Stewart said.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is continuing to review evidence of the chemical attack but he says the brutal fighting there is not a threat to U.S. national security.
"I do not support military intervention," he said. "Before taking action, the president should first come present his plan to Congress outlining the approach, cost, objectives, and timeline and get authorization from Congress for his proposal."
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, hasn't called on Obama to get congressional approval but he has said the president needs to make an appeal directly to the American people.
"Make no mistake about it, the situation in Syria isn't easy," Hatch said. "But that doesn't mean the president doesn't have a responsibility as commander in chief of the most powerful nation in the world to lead. It's time the president deliver a prime-time address to the nation explaining what is happening."
Utah's other two members of Congress, GOP Reps. Rob Bishop and Jason Chaffetz, have not taken a position on a potential military strike against Syria.

the economy was brought stability predicted is pressure!!
Short change!! corporate leaders ability to strain, the market lesser
humiliate in shame!! not important ether, corporate leaders to blame!!!
Confess up!! peoples money accumulate to much debt,
put them out of the game!!
Success!! I assume you make a bet, made from the stockexchange wreck!!
Progress is lame the goverment speech intimidate with no guaranteed
to stimulate the game!!
Best market to aim, seek!! meduim bussinesses, franchise to grow maintain,
a formular growth, is where the risk is,
gain in confidence consurmers impulses,
gross profit is where the bussiness is, promised most.
The fact is it is a sustainable method to show,
intelluctual with Thomas poets to know.
Backed by small establishments pro's,
tradesmen, plumbers, builders, painters alone.
Texture fulfillment retail shops a facture perfomance strategy sale stocks!!
Financial gloss, investment, mentality predictable.
If meduim establishment product and sevices exceptable,
The ingredients of a investiors return is secure respectable,
for the rest of us, to learn a chain reaction firm,
meduim and small bussiness observed growth attain,
transaction reap then economy mixes both!! to gain.
Then the gross bussiness correction establishment concern to believe, to perfection.
Is not a economical value, when the economy is suffering.
Employment is the driving force that investors and the goverment official,
have to come up with a plan, to increase value in the stockexchange market.
Manufacturer and product and services, for everyday purposes, is their target!!!
The music industry, eg Europe mtv, etc around the world, have to wait on the income of other bussiness establishments to increase in profit.
Peoples focused is on other bussinesses to perform successfully in their industry.

Edward Robert Hughes
Edward Robert Hughes RWS (5 November 1851 – 23 April 1914) was an English painter who worked in a style influenced by Pre-Raphaelitism and Aestheticism. Some of his best known works are Midsummer Eve and Night With Her Train of Stars. Hughes was the nephew of Arthur Hughes and studio assistant to William Holman Hunt. He often used watercolour/gouache. He was elected ARWS in 1891, and chose as his diploma work for election to full membership a mystical piece inspired by a verse by Christina Rossetti's Amor Mundi. He experimented with ambitious techniques and was a perfectionist; he did numerous studies for many of his paintings, some of which turned out to be good enough for exhibition.
For a time, Hughes was an assistant to the elderly William Holman Hunt. He helped the increasingly infirm Hunt with the version of The Light of the World now in St. Paul's Cathedral as well as The Lady of Shalott. He died on 23 April 1914 at his cottage (no. 3 Romeland) in St. Albans, Hertfordshire.
His works can be seen in public collections including Bradford Museums and Galleries, Cambridge & County Folk Museum, Maidstone Museum & Art Gallery, Bruce Castle Museum, Kensington & Chelsea Local Studies, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, the Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston, and the National Trust for Scotland.
Birmingham Museums Trust is staging a retrospective exhibition, Enchanted Dreams: The Pre-Raphaelite Art of E.R. Hughes, from 17 October 2015 to 21 February 2016 at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.[1]

Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo has revealed that Ayrton Senna wanted to end his Formula 1 career at Ferrari and says a deal was talked about just days before he lost his life at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
Thursday will mark the 20th anniversary of the Brazilian's tragic death. At the time, he was racing in his first season for the Williams outfit and was chasing his fourth world title.
"He wanted to come to Ferrari and I wanted him in the team," di Montezemolo told the official Ferrari website. "When he was in Italy for the San Marino Grand Prix, we met at my home in Bologna on Wednesday 27 April.
"He told me he really appreciated the stand we had taken against the excessive use of electronic aids for driving, which didn't allow a driver's skill to shine through. We spoke for a long time and he made it clear to me that he wanted to end his career at Ferrari, having come close to joining us a few years earlier.
"We agreed to meet again soon, so as to look at how we could overcome his contractual obligations at the time. We were both in agreement that Ferrari would be the ideal place for him to further his career, which to date had been brilliant, even unique.
"Unfortunately, fate robbed all of us of Ayrton and Roland Ratzenberger over one of the saddest weekends in Formula 1 history. Of Senna, I remember his kindness and his simple almost shy nature, which was in complete contrast to Senna the driver, a fighter always aiming for the best."
He added: "I always appreciated Ayrton's style of racing. As with all great champions, he had an incredible will to win and never tired of seeking perfection, trying to improve all the time. He was extraordinary in qualifying, but also a great battler in the races, when he always fought tooth and nail"

November 30, 2015
NEW YORK (AP) - Justin Bieber is denying allegations he fathered a child and says he has never met the woman who filed the paternity suit against him.
The teen heartthrob said Friday during a brief appearance on NBC's "Today" show: "None of it is true."
He called it "crazy" that anyone would make up such a story.
The paternity suit was filed in San Diego Superior Court by Maria Yeater. She had just turned 19 when she says she and Bieber, then 16, had a brief sexual encounter after one of the singer's concerts last fall.
Los Angeles police have said Yeater could be investigated for having had sex with a minor.
Bieber, on hand to promote a Christmas album, returns to "Today" to perform live Nov. 23.

A large number of posters were presented with a wide range of topics from around the world. I was not able to view them all, but those I did manage to see are described:
Effectiveness of oral NADH in the treatment of CFS - Jose Allegre (Barcelona, Spain) concluded that oral NADH does not seem to modify clinical variables, but some benefits were seen in anxiety levels, but depression increased. In effort tests there was some significant reduction of maximum FC.
Partner relationship influence on functional capacity in CFS women - A. Blazquez (Barcelona, Spain) - Neurocognitive dysfunction correlated positively with the relationship and significantly influenced ventilation and supramaximal exercise.
Role of erythrocyte aggregation and deformability in CFS - Ekua Brenu (Gold Coast, Australia) - found that there were no abnormal changes in the rheological characteristics of erythrocytes in CFS. Deformability and aggregation are not therefore likely to be markers for CFS.
Post-Cancer Fatigue (PCF) is not associated with altered cytokine production - Barbara Cameron (Sydney, Australia) - findings argue strongly against the notion that PCF is mediated by peripheral inflammation.
Pacing as a dynamic embedded, embodied treatment/prevention strategy in CFS - Bruce Carruthers (Vancouver, Canada) - Pacing is a strategy that patients learn gradually to adjust their activity/rest sequences and treat their fatigue in a preventative way.
Oxygen toxicity as a locus of control for CFS - Paul Cheney (Ashville, USA) - Concluded that CFS is an oxygen toxic state. This is less a cause of CFS but a final common pathway downstream from etiologies, but which may determine outcome.
Cell associated therapy for CFS - Paul Cheney (Ashville,USA) - has found that therapy with low molecular weight peptides from cell-associated mammalian tissue homogenates (porcine) appear to offer significant benefit in CFS. Use of several tissue extracts appears to be more successful than only one.
Oxymatrine for the treatment of CFS associated with chronic enterovirus infection - J. Chia (Lomita, USA) - This treatment showed significant benefit, with a shift in immune response in the Th1 direction, which correlated with symptomatic response. Oxymatrine maybe an effective immune modulator in CFS before definitive antiviral therapy becomes available.
Serving Students with CFS and other chronic illnesses - Patricia Fennell (New York, USA) - described a workshop for educators to discuss the needs of those with chronic illnesses. As a result educational services can be improved for students using the Fennell Four Phase Model.
US Government strategy and funding of CFS research compared to similar illnesses - Kenneth Friedman (Newark, USA) - Of the US Government research effort into neuro-endocrine-immune disorders (NEIDs), Lyme disease has shown the most progress. Despite the government spending more on GWI there is still no diagnostic test or specific medication. New research strategies and funding mechanisms are needed for illnesses such as CFS.
Amygdala retraining techniques may improve outcomes for patients with CFS - Ashok Gupta (London, UK) - had done a clinical audit of subjective outcomes. This revealed higher rates of improvement in comparison to remission rates in other intervention studies. No control or placebo group was used and future studies will incorporate this.
Treatment of Cryptostrongylus pulmoni, a new parasite found in CFS - Lawrence Klapow (Santa Rosa, USA) - This is a chronic roundworm parasite found in a number of patients studied. It reproduces in the lungs and GI tract. It appears to trigger CFS symptoms during its reproductive stage. Symptoms were relieved with Ivermectin, weekly inhalations with nebulised ethanol and treatment of the GI tract with anthelminthics.
Predictors of fatigue in patients with MS - Anners Lerdal (Drammen, Norway) - The main predictors of fatigue were fatigue scores and fatigue caseness at baseline. Poor general health and perceived cognitive impairment also predicted higher levels of fatigue.
Is there an association between exposure to chemicals and CFS? - Luis Nacul (London, UK) - existing evidence remains inconclusive as to the association between exposure to chemicals and CFS, and there is need for well designed epidemiological studies.
Similarities of CFS and autism spectrum disorders: comparison of blood co-infections - Garth Nicolson (Huntingdon Beach, USA) - Chronic infections are similar in both those with CFS and a large subset of patients with neurobehavioral disease. The 3 infections seen were mycoplasma species, Chlamydia pneumoniae and HHV6.
Effects of a dietary weight supplement on fatigue, appetite suppression and weight-loss: implications in CFS - Garth Nicholson (Huntingdon Beach, USA) - The product used was an amaylase inhibitor plus NT factor (HealthyCurb). Notable appetite suppression occurred coupled with significant weight loss. The group showed an overall decrease in fatigue, with improvement in lipid profiles and cardiovascular health. There were no adverse effects clinically or biochemically. This seems a safe option for those with CFS wanting to lose weight.
Improved renal function in CFS patients with IV immunoglobulin treatment - Tae Park (Seoul, Korea) - Improved renal blood flow as a result of this trial may be evidence of corresponding cerebral blood flow, as patients on treatment experienced improved cognition. A further poster looked at the risk of CFS patients developing chronic kidney disease. The risks showed decreased glomerular filtration rate in many CFS patients, and recommendations are that kidney function should be checked regularly in CFS. Cognitive function was further investigated in another poster with positive outcome in those treated with IV immunoglobulin.
Lymphatic drainage of the neuroaxis and the central rhythm impulse - Ray Perrin (Preston, UK) - hypothesized a model for pathological links to CFS. Cranial rhythm impulse may be the rhythm produced by a combination of cerebrospinal drainage of the neuroaxis and sympathetic induced pulsations of the central lymphatic drainage. Osteopathic manual treatment can reduce the severity of CFS.
Muscle fatigue in CFS and its response to a novel manual therapeutic response - Ray Perrin (Preston, UK) found that post-exercise muscle function in CFS is improved following specialized osteopathic intervention. Fatigue in this disorder is considered not due to myopathic changes, but a consequence of other extrinsic causes, such as a reduction in lymphatic drainage.
VDR receptor competence induces recovery from CFS - Amy Proal (New York, USA) - has a working model of CFS in which a micorobiota of chronic pathogens accumulate a metagenome that is able to dysregulate the innate immune response, and cause the systemic inflammation characteristic of the disease. The process has been reversed using a VDR agonist (olmesartan medoxomil) and sub-inhibitory antibiotics.
A parent advocacy guide advising how to obtain educational services for children with neuroimmune disease - Laura Baker (Santa Barbara, USA) and Karla Rogers (Nevada City, USA) produced a comprehensive resource guide to assist parents meet their child's educational needs.
Utilization of CFS continuing medical education courses - Hao Tian (Atlanta, USA) - this course was described and confirmed as an important online source for continuing medical education. There is a well utilized Primary Care course and one for allied health professionals. In a 5 month period, 283 participants received CME certificates.
The self-regulatory model in women with CFS and MS: illness representations, coping strategies and outcome - Elke van Hoof (Brussels, Belgium) - Patients were shown to determine the degree of dysfunction and illness related behaviors in relation to their subjective experience of the disease. Findings in the study will help determine what strategies may be effective in improving function.
Treatment study of methylation cycle support - Richard van Konynenburg (Springfield, USA) - Treatment designed to support the methylation cycle appears very promising and seems worthy of a more controlled study. Results are consistent with the glutathione depletion-methylation cycle block hypothesis for CFS. Treatment included hydroxocobalamin, 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and folinic acid, with nutritional support.
Post-infectious fatigue syndrome following giardia infection - an ongoing multidisciplinary five-year follow-headed by Prof Harald Nyland - presented by Eva Stormorken - (Vaaler, Norway) - Findings support the existence of PIFS following giardiasis. Interventions consisted of medical care, clinical assessment and an educational course. Currently a work-related rehabilitation program is taking place. Prospective studies are required to determine functional outcome.
6 years experience in a specialized unit in the diagnosis of CFS - José Alegre (Barcelona, Spain) - The SFC is the main tool for diagnosis in this specialized unit. A variety of diagnoses of fatigue are described. Analytical, imaging and psychiatric assessment did not provide diagnostic tools adequately.
Family response when a parent has CFS - Julie Donalek (Chicago, USA) - A wide range of effects on the family are presented such as "a changed life", "a shrinking exterior world", reorganizing family management", "struggle for normalcy" etc. These issues need to be addressed for the family as well as the patient.
Socio-demographic variables, depression, sleep quality and functioning, and the relationship to fatigue in the acute phase of a stroke - Anners Lerdal (Oslo,Norway) - Symptoms of depression and poor general health are related to the experience of fatigue in these patients, suggesting the need for further research into the complex nature of fatigue.
Prevention of CFS - Phillipe Tournesac (Dijon,France) - A questionnaire has been developed to identify patients described as "hypersensitive" and more likely to develop illnesses such as CFS and FM. This could provide a means of identification and preventing the evolution of toward CFS and related syndromes. Many simple preventative approaches can be included such as sleep, nutrition and exercise.
Could CFS be caused by allergen-induced immune activation in individuals who respond with excessive and prolonged cytokine production due to variant genes, and who have enhanced susceptibility to cytokines. - Gina Watkins (Sydney, Australia). A literature search was presented together with further study from the Dubbo infection outcomes. This confirmed that further research is needed looking at the immune response and cognitive function following allergen exposure.
Remodeling of lymphocyte-cytokine networks in GWI under challenge - Gordon Broderick (Edmonton,Canada) - Characteristic immune responses occur spontaneously in these patients after exercise challenge, and resolve once the challenge is removed. Results suggest a potential shift in the regulation of body fat and energy metabolism in GWI and a bias toward Th2 mediated humoral immune response.
A comprehensive analysis of serum cytokines in PIFS: a masked case control study - Barbara Cameron (Sydney, Australia) - The data did not support the hypothesis of ongoing cytokine activity in the circulation in the pathogenesis of CFS or PIFS.
Comparison of immunoperoxidase staining of stomach biopsy, neutralizing enterovirus antibody and whole blood viral RNA testing, for the diagnosis of chronic enterovirus infection in patients with CFS - John Chia (Lomita, USA) - EV VP1 staining of stomach biopsy is more sensitive than either commercially available neutralizing antibody test or qualitative enteroviral RNA determination of the blood, for the diagnosis of chronic enteroviral infection. Elevated EV antibody titre can confirm the particular serotype involved.
Decreased perforin and granzyme protein expression of cytotoxic T cells and NK cells from CFS patients - Deborah Goetz (Reno, Nevada) - this study corroborated the Klimas et al study. NK cells showed altered expression of PRF1 and GZMB not due to increase in CD56 subset. T cell abnormalities suggest prior antigen exposure and possible impaired memory function.
A re-analysis of the Dubbo Infections Outcomes Study post infective fatigue cytokine dataset. - Brian Gurbaxani (Sydney, Australia) - Cultured cytokine values do appear to oscillate over time. The oscillations may help distinguish PIFS cases from controls within each infective group, and appear to be different for each of the 3 infections studied. (EBV,Ross River Virus and Q fever)
Ion channel function and CFS - Susan Hagan (Glasgow, UK) - Identification of changes in gene expression of a number of ATPase enzymes and ion channels using DNA microarray indicates a potential role for ion channels and ATPase function in the pathology of CFS. This may help formulate a rational hypothesis for the pathogenesis of CFS.
The RNAseL antiviral pathway and its role in chronic inflammation and CFS - Vincent Lombardi (Reno, USA) - Results confirm that proteosymal degradation of RNaseL is triggered by PMA in human cell lines, and this inflammatory response can be prevented by anti-inflammatory agents that block NF-κβ.
TGFβ-1 in the treatment of autoimmunity in CFS associated with HLA DR by PCR - Ritchie Shoemaker (Pocomoke, USA) - The ability of losartan (up to 50mg daily), an angiotensin receptor blocker, labeled for treatment of hypertension, to lower TGFβ may affect TH17 cells that in turn affect T regulatory cells. Losartan may have a role in the innate immune abnormalities in CFS.
Measuring fatigue pre and post exercise using SF-36, MFI-20 health and wellbeing surveys - Katie Baroni (Stockton, USA) - the SF-36 and MFI-20 clearly differentiate between CFS and controls. The SF-36 did not detect significant pre to post test changes in the CFS group.
Functional impairment in an environmental clinic sample - Alison Bested (Toronto, Canada) - a wide representation of the profiles of 128 CFS patients diagnosed with CFS,FM and MCS. Results were consistent with findings in other countries and patients' reported difficulties working and caring for homes and families. Early comprehensive assessment and medical management, social support, and assisted non-discriminatory access to consistent financial means could avoid deterioration associated with prolonged illness.
Diagnosis of CFS - Bruce Carruthers (Vancouver, Canada) - describes clinical experience with comments regarding the influence of different attitudes on the process of diagnosis of CFS and other syndromes. 3 issues are covered: nominalist attitude, complementary attitude and causal influences felt directly in everyday life. He comments that we do need to pay more attention to the earlier phases of diagnosis not just the end point.
Unusual dietary intake among CFS patients - Alexandra Caspero (Stockton, USA) - a diet history questionnaire (NIH) was used. Dietary interventions maybe efficacious as adjunct therapy.
The emergence of fatigue science - Fred Friedberg (New York, USA) - A study of literature on pain and fatigue were reviewed. The study provides encouraging signs of increased scientific attention to fatigue. The future direction of fatigue research is uncertain as there is no clearly delineated domain of fatigue with respect to both peer review journals and federal funding.
Replication of an empirical approach to delineate heterogeneity of CFS - Brian Gurbaxani (Sydney, Australia) - Data support the contention that chronic medically unexplained fatigue is heterogenous and can be delineated into discrete endophentypes, and this should be pursued further. This could help understand etiology and provide more patient focused treatments.
Frequency and content analysis of CFS in medical textbooks - Leonard Jason (Chicago, USA) - Findings suggest that CFS is underreported in medical textbooks. There is a need for CFS to be more represented in text books, with more comprehensive coverage provided to include etiology, prevalence, criteria and treatment options.
A closer examination of cardio-pulmonary test-retest effects in CFS - Kylie Kumasak (Stockton, USA) - Reductions in VO2 max were similar to previous studies. The reductions seen in VO2 max on test-retest were not due to differences in maximal effort. Future test should include prescreening criteria of post exertional malaise to increase the likelihood of observing metabolic abnormalities in CFS.
Prevalence and risk factors for CFS in women in S Brazil - Luis Nacul (London, UK) - CFS and probable CFS are not uncommon in the study. Different factors were identified in these 2 groups, and the importance of using specific diagnostic criteria and subgrouping of cases in research and clinical practice was emphasized.
Trends in knowledge about CFS by Brazilian doctors - Luis Nacul (London, UK) - the ability of doctors in Brazil to diagnose this illness remains poor, but there is a trend towards a move from psychological to medical interpretations of a typical patient with CFS. Education of health professionals and the population about CFS is thus warranted.
Trends and predictive value of CFS diagnosis labels given by GPs in England - Luis Nacul (London, UK) - Diagnostic labels vary in time and across GP practices. This needs to be taken into account when estimating prevalence of CFS in primary care.
A survey of the health needs and experiences of people with CFS in a NHS specialist service in England - Sue Pemberton (Leeds, UK) - These patients have varied needs, necessitating the importance of a multidisciplinary team. The interpersonal skills and engagement with the patient are as important as the intervention itself. A model is being developed to guide professionals dealing with this illness.
An audit of the clinical outcomes of a multi-disciplinary service for CFS - Sue Pemberton (Leeds, UK) - Minimum data set was used in this audit done at one year from entry into the service. There was a positive overall effect, particularly in symptom related outcomes. Functional outcomes did not show significant change, but this may be due to patients being asked to balance out activity levels initially.
