LOS ANGELES - Kings defenseman Drew Doughty can verify that losing used to have its rewards as an NHL player in Southern California.
"Back in the day, we could pretty much roll in anywhere, and there was no way anybody would know who you were. No possible way," Doughty said. "Now, it seems like everywhere we do go now we are getting recognized. ... It's more like when you are home in Canada."
Doughty has played a major role in making the Kings more recognizable and and giving the franchise a stronger presence in the marketplace since they won the Stanley Cup in 2012. He's an engaging, witty personality and he's a dominant defenseman, similar to the impact Denis Potvin had with the New York Islanders.
One of the New York Rangers' primary missions in Saturday's Game 2 (7 p.m. ET, NBC) will be figuring out how to diminish Doughty's effectiveness.
CAUCUS: Conn Smythe Trophy favorites
RANGERS: What N.Y. needs to do to even series
It's a given that goalie Henrik Lundqvist will have to play Conn Smythe Trophy-quality hockey for the Rangers to win this series. But it's not as simple to say that goalie Jonathan Quick is the Kings' most important player.
Unquestionably, Quick is essential because of the position he plays. But Doughty is a critical component of the Kings' hope of a second Stanley Cup in three seasons because he triggers their offense, fortifies their defense and fuels their passion.
The Norris Trophy is given to the top regular-season defenseman, but if postseason play were considered, Doughty would be a finalist because of the way he has played this spring.
"(And) he's a long ways from being as good as he is going to be just because of his age," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said.
He's 24 and has won two Olympic gold medals with Canada, and he will have two Stanley Cup rings if the Kings win this series. He already has Hall of Fame credentials and he might have 15 years left in his career.
"That guy can play and play and play every night," said his defensive partner Jake Muzzin. "He's a freak."
PHOTOS: Stanley Cup Final
Muzzin theorizes that with all the playoff and Olympic games Doughty has played in recent years, the defenseman is in the top three in the NHL in minutes during that span. Doughty is averaging nearly 28 minutes per game over the 22 games in these playoffs.
"He still brings energy and still has energy throughout the game," Muzzin said.
Doughty also offers offensive magic, as he showed in Game 1 with a sweet between-the-legs move for the tying goal in the 3-2 overtime win.
He is physical. He is vocal. He is the guy on the bench pounding his stick to get officials' attention so he can point out their errors in judgment.
MORE: Defensive changes likely in Game 2
Doughty is also the guy who answers the questions for the news media most nights whether his team wins or loses. He holds himself accountable.
"Sometimes I get down on myself and don't play my best games," he said. "But my teammates have helped me with this and now I see myself as one of the leaders of this team."
He's honest in his self-appraisal. He concedes that he misses the days when he could be anonymous in LA because he liked doing what he wanted in his free time "and not get in trouble for it."
The change in the number of times players are recognized has been drastic, he said.
"The beards we have don't help," Doughty said.
But he certainly is not willing to trade his championship ring for anonymity.
"I'd rather have the problem and be a winner," Doughty said, "than not to have the problem and lose."

Pueblo West is the next stop for vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan as he continues his three-day swing through Colorado.
Colorado Springs was first on the list for Ryan, who spoke in front of over 1,000 people packed into the Jet Center by the Colorado Springs Airport Sunday.
In his speech, Ryan pointed out the difference between Romney and Obama on looming military cuts. The congressman promised that he and Romney would avoid budget cuts to the armed forces in order to keep the military strong.
"If he can't tackle our problems like the debt crisis, if he can't get our economy growing, if he can't honor the men and women who put the uniform on by giving us a strong military, then I say we change presidents," Ryan stated.
The rally in Pueblo West will be held at Vision Mechanical on 35 Laser Drive. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. Ryan will speak at 11 a.m. Tickets can still be obtained by clicking here.
Ryan will then head to Durango for an afternoon rally before attending a debate watching party in Grand Junction Monday night.
Ryan and Mitt Romney will appear together at a rally Tuesday at the Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver.

A$AP Rocky has a few thoughts on Y-3. "For me I feel like Y-3 defines my fashion," he writes in the epilogue of 10 YEARS OF Y-3: THE BOOK. "It has the high-end edge but it still reminds you of sports street wear. And that's my world, there."
It's as prosaic a personal observation as an arbiter of taste could have for a label that connects to the individual by connecting the dots of comfort, movement, and luxury. If I could venture to add something to Rocky's statement, it would be that it isn't just his world, right there—it's everybody's. The aesthetic language of Yohji Yamamoto and his decade-long collaboration with adidas has achieved a universal scope, sending ripples through the entire industry and long-projecting the titanic shift of luxury goods toward activewear. Y-3 has paved the way for many brands and collaborations that have surfaced in its wake: adidas has gone on to forge collaborations with Stella McCartney, Raf Simons, Jeremy Scott, and Rick Owens, to name a few. Alexander McQueen famously took to the streets with Puma. Bernhard Willhelm's work with Camper owes a gratitude, as does the Yeezus sneaker, Kanye West's collaboration with Nike (whose seasonal Gyakusou collection with Jun Takahashi flies off the shelves). Where would emerging labels like Astrid Anderson, Hood By Air, Nasir Mazhar, Telfar, and Shaun Samson be without the elastic influence that adidas and Yamamoto cast over the younger generations? Y-3, to put it bluntly, is the mother.
And she's only 10 years old.
To celebrate a decade of epic shows, vital campaigns, and iconic collections that have ranged from hypercolorful to darkly poetic, Y-3 is unveiling 10 YEARS OF Y-3: THE BOOK, designed and art directed by PL Studio, the consultancy founded by Stefan Pietsch and Georgina Lim. A carefully curated mix of "chaotic" images, the book is an immensely personal look back at the inspiration and the iconography of Y-3. "Sifting through the archives of Y-3 has taken us on a journey through all imaginable sartorial interpretations of sportswear," Pietsch and Lim said in a statement. "Y-3 forged new paths for others to follow. It's a creative partnership that has defined a new genre in fashion and inspired those who have been fortunate enough to work with the brand."
To those fortunate ones, the book is a special sort of artifact: printed in a limited-edition of 2000, it will not be for sale, but gifted to brand ambassadors and collaborators through the 2013 holiday season. For those dismally left outside this enclosed loop, the book will be on view at all Y-3 boutiques, and is vieweable on Y-3.com. Check out product shots above, and view the book in full at Y-3.com/BOOK.

Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - Cory Conacher scored the go-ahead goal in the
second period and Craig Anderson made 18 saves as the Ottawa Senators ended
the Washington Capitals' eight-game winning streak with a 3-1 victory at
Scotiabank Place.
Kyle Turris scored twice for the Senators, who are currently the No. 6 seed in
the Eastern Conference playoff race after winning four straight on the heels
of a five-game slide.
Braden Holtby was much busier in net than Anderson and stopped 35 shots, but
his turnover led to Conacher's tally and Washington's first regulation loss
since March 26 against the Islanders.
Mike Ribeiro lit the lamp for the Capitals, who still lead the Southeast
Division with four games remaining.

(b) Amounts necessary for the pay, subsistence, transportation, and other proper expenses of any part of the National Guard of a State, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, Guam, or the Virgin Islands participating in an exercise under subsection (a) may be set aside from funds allocated to it from appropriations for field or coast-defense instruction.
(c) Members of the National Guard participating in an exercise under subsection (a) may, after being mustered, be paid for the period beginning with the date of leaving home and ending with the date of return, as determined in advance.

Been trying tomincrease my presence in the online content/media realm. Made a good start of it, bought a couple of websites.
Been wanting to produce my own content and did launching two new websites.
1. Vbulletin cms suite
2. Wordpress site with a vbulletin forum attached
3. Was a subdomain vbulletin application onto an existing forum i bought
Every last one has malware issues and i'm upset because I paid a developer to do them, he did, everything was fine until these wormy, slimy malware abusers infiltrate somehow.
Ultimately i don't know what to do about the problem now, or in the future.
For instance, problem 1 & 3, i have a great solution -- amputation, shut it down.
For 2, i shut the forum down, but the wordpress site i have content there and i don't want to kill it.
And then finally on an ongoing basis i need a cms that isn't going to be subject to this, or I need to be able to grapple with it myself.
I don't need complicated instructions on how to fix things, i need a name because frankly this is a learning curve i do not want to go down.

Emlyn, "saw this lady at a VERY muddy steeplechase (horse race, My Lady's ManorSteeplechase in Baltimore, MD) this weekend, I knew she'd be the perfect submission for Advanced Style!! It was cold, rainy and unbelievably muddy and this woman bravely navigated the path to the paddock with grace and style, amidst the total chaos of cars being hauled out of the mud with tractors etc. Isn't she wonderful?

The total number of pediatric deaths linked to this flu season in Colorado is up to four, including one in El Paso County, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment reported Tuesday.
According to a news release from the CDHPE, as of January 12, the state has reported a total of 674 cases, from 36 counties, of people hospitalized with the flu. The report confirms the death in El Paso County along with another in Denver County.
"Anyone who has not already been vaccinated should do so now," said Dr. Urbina in the news release. "It's important to remember that people who have severe influenza illness, or who are at high risk of serious influenza-related complications, should get treated with influenza antiviral medications if they get flu symptoms – regardless of whether or not they got vaccinated. People who are ill with the flu don't need to wait for a positive laboratory test to start taking antivirals."
State officials say vaccinations are still available, and recommend starting by asking for one at your doctor's office. If your doctor doesn't have the vaccine, some may be available at grocery or drug stores. It's best to check the store's policy about giving the vaccinations before making the trip to get immunized.

3120™ Head
Item #: 03587590
Some amplifiers are destined for glory.
That's where the 3120 fits into guitar history. Following the path of destruction left by amplifiers like the Peavey 6505, the 3120 is poised to redefine metal guitar tone with its unique character and onslaught of extreme high gain, 120 watts of power and three fully independent channels of all tube tone.
Built for players who want the most intense tone shaping possible, the 3120 is a total control freak. The amp's versatile Lead and Rhythm channels feature gain and volume controls plus an active three-band EQ, while the Clean channel offers nicely rounded tones crafted by a passive three band EQ and volume control. A global master volume governs the amount of power put out by its four EL34 or 6L6GC power-amp tubes--the amp ships with EL34s but can use either--while the gain controls on the Lead and Rhythm channels adjust the amount of 12AX7 gain saturation.
The 3120 rear panel hosts a unique Peavey custom tone control feature: a three-setting damping switch that alters speaker resonance to create tight, medium and loose response, from a precise punch for rhythmic attack to a full, widely resonant sound. Also on the rear panel is a footswitchable effects loop with dedicated send and return controls and a line out with level control.
- Four EL34s and four 12AX7s
- Power amp switchable to use EL34s or 6L6GCs (ships with EL34s)
- Three footswitchable channels
- Clean channel: volume, bass, mid, treble (passive EQ)
- Rhythm channel: gain, volume, bass, mid, treble (active EQ)
- Footswitch included
- Master volume
- Footswitchable effects loop with send and return controls
- Damping switch: tight, medium, loose
- Line out with level control
- 120 watts into 16, 8, or 4 ohms (switchable)
- Lead channel: gain, volume, bass, mid, treble (active EQ)

There is no way to know for sure if you're going to get esophageal cancer. And there is no sure way to prevent it. Certain factors can make you more likely to get this type of cancer than another person. These are called risk factors. Here are the known risk factors for esophageal cancer. Tell your health care provider if you feel you may be at risk.
Using tobacco (cigarettes, chewing tobacco, pipes, etc.) and drinking alcohol are both risk factors for developing esophageal cancer. Together, they form the highest risk of getting esophageal cancer. Smoking and drinking are risk factors for other cancers too, such as cancers of the head, neck, and upper airways.
The risk for esophageal cancer goes up as you get older. Most cases are in people older than 55, but younger people can still develop esophageal cancer.
Men are 3 to 4 times more likely to get esophageal cancer than women.
If your esophagus is irritated for a long time, cancer is more likely to occur. Irritation happens when fluid from your stomach comes up into your lower esophagus. This problem is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Some esophageal cancer cases are related to GERD. Over time, the reflux may cause the cells in the esophagus to change. This condition is called Barrett's esophagus. In some cases, Barrett's esophagus leads to esophageal cancer. People with this condition are much more likely to develop esophageal cancer than someone without the condition.
People who are obese are at higher risk of the adenocarcinoma type of esophageal cancer. If you are a man who develops this type of cancer and you are obese, your risk of dying from the cancer is also higher compared with men who aren't overweight.
Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins and minerals that may help prevent cancer, including cancer of the esophagus. If you eat few fruits or vegetables, you may have a deficiency of these vitamins and minerals. This could put you at greater risk of developing esophageal cancer.
Drinking very hot liquids frequently can increase your risk for some kinds of esophageal cancer.
These more rare factors may also lead to esophageal cancer:
I have achalasia. This rare disease affects the muscles of the esophagus. When the opening between the esophagus and the stomach is too tight, food does not pass easily into the stomach.
I have tylosis. This disease is inherited and changes the cells that line your palms, soles, and esophagus.
I have Plummer-Vinson syndrome. This syndrome is characterized by anemia, brittle fingernails, and esophageal irritation.
I have had other occurrences of head or neck cancer.

Clorox Cleans Up with Disney Online and The Jim Henson Company
According to AdAge, Disney Online is poised to present a new web series titled The Possibility Shop which was produced with The Jim Henson Company and will be sponsored by Clorox. Although the online series was created to help showcase the Clorox family of cleaning products, the products won't be mentioned by name during the show itself as the characters constantly clean up around the sets. Instead, Clorox-branded vignettes will accompany the episode demonstrating how Clorox could have helped the show's cast out.
This represents the second time a promotion has created by Disney that's specifically tailored to a sponsor's needs, the first being the 'Rock out Your Zone' campaign with Walmart.

Four wooden sticks are loosely connected with an aluminum profile. The loose system gets very stable by the weight of the clothes.

Is that a girl trout or a boy trout?
Some people who hunt and fish have a real affinity for not taking or keeping female species.
The catch-and release theory for females is more prevalent by bass fishing enthusiasts, especially during the spring spawning period. The large, bloated belly of the female bass makes it easy to identify, and most anglers simply will enjoy the catch and release the fish to return to the nest.
If it's your intent to release females, other species can be much more difficult to identify, including trout.
Some characteristics appear only during the spawning season. The problem is, not all trout spawn at the same time. German browns spawn in the fall, and rainbows spawn in the spring.
If you have any hope of gender-typing your trout, you'll need two things: a calendar and a trout.
If and only if it's their spawning time, the female will have the evident bloated midsection. A distended abdomen, however, is no sure thing, as that trout may have just eaten.
Secondly, checking the trout's head is something you can pretty much do year-round. A male generally will develop a hooked snout, or "kype," on its lower jaw. And, male trout generally will be more elongated and have brighter colors than a female, whose body usually is more rounded and its colors duller.
Even with a trained eye of a professional, such as a marine biologist, gender identification isn't easy and is an inexact science. The only positive way to figure out whether it's a girl or boy fish is to sacrifice the fish and examine for the presence of eggs or sperm.
Current fishing
The weather has warmed. Finally. Anglers are hitting waterways on all fronts — and so are water recreationists. There is still a lot of snow on some hills. It's melting quickly, and creeks, streams and rivers are roaring. Not good for fishing.
While most mountain lakes are open, waters are still rising due to the continuing snowmelt and waters from the highest elevations to valley rivers are much colder than normal for this time of year.
Lake Almanor: The lake is expected to rise another couple of feet and be within a foot of the spillway. The Diversion Channel, Bailey Creek and Hamilton Branch are still raging, and if the water levels rise as high as expected, part of Chester will be flooded.
Fishing at Lake Almanor is picking up. In one day, we netted one king salmon that weighed 2½ pounds, two brown trout, the largest going about a pound and a half, and one spotted bass that went about a pound and a half. In addition, I lost three hookups, Linda lost one, and we each released one small salmon. All of our action came from trolling around the Big Meadows on the east side, out four to five colors of lead core or down 15 to 20 feet on the downriggers, mostly on night crawlers but also getting bit on Rainbow Runners, Speedy Shiners, Mepps Syclops and even a small Rebel.
There were several boats drifting the same area, and some big brown trout were being caught. Hanging a crawler or three or four grubs on a No. 4 hook near the bottom has worked well. Boats also are anchoring on the eastern shoreline near the spillway, hanging cut anchovy near the bottom and doing quite well on stringer loads of king salmon to four pounds.
Fort Bragg: Pat and Karen Heaviside, skippers of the 32-foot Boston Whaler party boat, the "Bragg-n," told me they'd contact me when or if the fishing ever broke loose in that region. It did, finally. The seas were relatively flat, and they limited multiple days in a row. They reported their bigger Chinooks hit nearly 30 pounds. The boat generally only holds four anglers and is one of the best on which to hitch a ride. The weather can be a big factor, so call ahead for reservations or a forecast. Call (707) 961-9692 or (408) 888-5485.
New Hogan: Stripers are the main topic, but the lake also holds brown bullheads and channel cats and fishing for them after the sun goes down has been good. Stripers are scattered, but marinate a chunk of anchovy in a Pro Cure scent, drop it down 10 to 30 feet around the dam, the South Bay or Wrinkle Cove, and you could tally a lineside or two, mostly five to six pounds.
Clear Lake: The bass are either cruising the shallows from one end of the lake to the other or still around beds. Try white lizards or baby Brush Hogs and you can fill a stringer. Catfishing is great, but the weather hasn't been stable long enough for the crappie or bluegill to break loose.
Feather River: Word has it the rod-bending action for stripers remains blistering. The hottest area is from Star Bend south. Minnows drifted under a bobber will work, but soaking bait such as sardine, anchovy or pile worms have worked best. One guide with two clients caught and released between 60 and 70 fish with the largest hitting 12 pounds. Action isn't going to last much longer in this area, so if it's a striper you want, this is where to go.
Camp Far West: The spots are still spawning, and the action is great. Just about anything is working: one-eighth-ounce dartheads, plastics. Just bang the bottom with it and work it slow. Some of the better bass are going more than three pounds. Rock Creek arm and coves in the Bear River are producing. The lower end of the lake, around the rocks of the dam, should also kick out plenty of bass.
Bay Area: The sturgeon bite, especially for this late in the year, has been phenomenal in San Pablo Bay and Suisun Bay. Any shrimp baits or roe on an outgoing tide, and you'll find yourself with a takedown. Some boats have been doing catch and release, the action is that good, all over both bays. Stripers soon will be a main topic, as they complete their spawning activities in rivers and head back to the salt waters where they crave one thing: food.

On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected a farm bill that sets agriculture and food assistance policy for the next five years. That has implications for Maine, which not only has its share of farmers, but also a quarter-of-a-million people who receive food stamps. As the bill lies in limbo in Congress, Maine food pantry operators and dairy farmers are crossing their fingers that lawmakers can create - and pass - a better bill. Patty Wight reports.
The bill was rejected by both Democrats and Republicans, mostly over one overriding issue: $2 billion in annual cuts to nutrition programs - that is, food stamps. For many Republicans, that slice was too small. For Democrats, like Maine 1st District Rep. Chellie Pingree, the slice was too big.
"It isn't now a farm bill that reflects the national needs of this country," Pingree says. "And, unfortunately, that's a challenge - this is a really important program that has everything from school lunch funding to housing assistance. This is a vital piece of legislation."
Pingree says beyond the steep cuts to the food assistance program, conservative Republicans had rejected proposed amendments that would have provided more support to small farmers and local food access. "I would say in the last week or two, the process was just breaking down on every front," she says.
The fact that it didn't pass has Mark Swann of the Preble Street Resource Center in Portland breathing a sigh of relief. Preble Street operates food kitchens and pantries.
"Maine is, unfortunately, a poor state," Swann says. "We've seen significant increases at food pantries and soup kitchens. You know, we're serving 1,200 meals a day at our soup kitchens here in Portland. And all over the state, pantries and kitchens are just flooded. So, you know, there's a lot at stake here."
"There are never enough food donations, enough financial donations, to meet the entire need," says Clara McConnell Whitney, a spokesperson for the Auburn-based Good Shepherd Food Bank, which provides hunger assistance throughout Maine. "So if additional people are going to be in need of assistance, we'll, of course, do everything we can to meet that. But we're already stretched thin, so it's going to be very difficult."
Maine's other U.S. representative, 2nd District Democrat Mike Michaud, also voted against the farm bill. In a statement, Michaud says he couldn?t vote for the bill in good conscience because it made devastating cuts to nutrition programs and did nothing to address the challenges Maine?s dairy farmers are facing.
Julie-Marie Bickford of the Maine Dairy Industry Association says she has mixed feelings about the bill's rejection. "For Maine farmers, what it just drives home for us is two things: One is that we are so grateful that the state has taken some efforts to help put some safety nets under our farmers."
Two, Bickford says: The Maine Dairy Association is just about ready to propose an alternative, more stable, milk pricing system to the USDA that's not connected to the farm bill. Bickford says at the very least, she'd like the U.S. farm bill to recognize that the current pricing system is not working, and to reflect the regional differences of milk production.
"Because producing milk in Maine is a whole lot different in cost, in production methods, and all of that, than producing milk in New Mexico or Idaho or California, you know, or Wisconsin."
Last year, the farm bill expired when Congress couldn't reach an agreement on a new version. Lawmakers passed an extension of the 2008 bill to buy time to work on it this year. Rep. Chellie Pingree says she's hopeful this time around they'll pass a five-year bill. But for now, it's back to the drawing board.

Follow the story of Admiral Robert E. Peary and his life-long dream of being the first to reach the North Pole, plus his love affair with his summer home on Eagle Island.
Admiral Peary was born in Cresson, PA in 1855. His father died when he was three years old and he and his mother moved to Cape Elizabeth, Maine. He attended Portland High School and in 1877 graduated from Bowdoin College with a degree in Engineering. After graduation he set up shop in Freyburg, Maine as a surveyor. Eventually he took a job in Washington D.C. as a draftsman and later joined the U.S. Navy Civil Engineering Corps as a Lt. He led a team that surveyed an alternate canal route across Nicaragua, but continued to dream about Artic exploration. He obtained a leave of absence from the Navy several times, to persue his dream in the artic. After seven expeditions , Peary's dream was realized on April 6, 1909 when he, Matthew Henson and some Intuits – after traveling more than 400 miles over treacherous Artic ice, finally reached the Pole.
Admiral Robert E. Peary: The Man and his Island is a production of The Friends of Eagle Island.

One of the challenges the country faces in the education sector is how to get each child attending school a desk to sit on and the required textbooks to comfortably engage in the learning process.
For going by media reports, the problem of desks seems to be overwhelming. In the just ended week, we saw troubling pictures of children, crouching or on their knees, their exercise books on the classroom floor, painfully struggling to copy lesson notes from the notice board as their teacher scribbled them out.
Though experts have stated many a time that it is very difficult to expect such children to develop legible handwriting, it is also true that the posture is physically exhausting. It interferes with the children's learning process.
In short the images of the children on classroom floors imply that the campaigns mounted by the government, NGOs and private individuals to provide desks to all schools must be scaled up if we are to get on top of the problem.
We are relieved that soon, unless something goes seriously wrong, more of our school children will get not only desks, but textbooks too, thanks to the impending release of the radar money.
Last week Tanzania and Britain finally agreed that the billions of shillings relating to the controversial purchase of radar equipment from UK's BAE Systems will go into educational projects in the country, buying among other items, desks and textbooks.
It was stated that the money will be used to buy textbooks for all 16,000 primary schools in the country, benefiting 8.3 million children.
The emphasis will be placed on the key subjects of Kiswahili, English, Maths and Science.
Besides textbooks for the pupils, the funds will also be used to provide all 175,000 primary school teachers with teachers' guides, syllabi and syllabi guides to help improve their teaching skills.
"Up to £5 million will be spent on the purchase of desks to benefit primary school children living in nine districts where the need for investment in education is considered greatest," the statement said, adding: "The availability of these materials will support the Government of Tanzania's priority to improve education quality in primary schools."
But positive as the infusion of the resources is, the desk deficit remains huge, especially when considered against those needing replacement.
That is why two steps must go together-bigger drive for desk funds and close monitoring of the funds raised through institutional and individual efforts, to ensure that they are used for the intended purpose.
For it is true that while efforts by well meaning institutions and individuals have raised millions of shillings towards the campaign, it has also at times proved difficult to ascertain proper use of the funds in ensuring desks among other facilities are acquired.
That is why we welcome the statement by the governments of Tanzania and UK that the procurement of the education facilities will be rigorously and independently monitored to ensure monies are used solely for the benefit of the Tanzanian people.
Secondly, it must be noted that textbooks, teachers' desks have a lifespan. Therefore a sustainable replacement plan must be put in place now as we make efforts to fill the gap.

The recent unveiling of White House plans for PATRIOT Act II has raised concerns nationwide about the state of American civil liberties in a time of crisis. Since the attacks on September 11 and the enactment of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Bush administration has clashed with civil libertarians over allegations of constitutional violations and the excessive use of government powers. With an expansion of the PATRIOT Act now before Congress, what do the American people stand to gain or lose from its passage? Is the increased power of law enforcement a necessary response to terrorism or a reckless assault on our constitutional protections?

Tallahassee, Florida -- Marco Tarafa was stunned to find that
his homeowners' policy is increasing by nearly $1,000 a year - all
because inspectors couldn't get into his attic, where there was no crawl
space and about 24 inches of insulation.
was a customer of state-backed Citizens Property Insurance Corp. for
eight years, and his rates had been stable during much of that time -
until now. Tarafa pays $2,200 for his policy on his 1,800-square-foot,
ranch-style home in Miami Gardens. Unless something changes between now
and when the policy renews in May, he's looking at a $980 increase, a
hike of nearly 45 percent.
"Just because of that, they can't get into my roof!" Tarafa said.
is among thousands of Florida homeowners forced to take coverage
offered by Citizens and a target for being moved to another company in
Citizens' attempts to downsize.
Tarafa and millions of other Florida businesses and homeowners,
property insurance rates keep soaring even though a hurricane hasn't
made a direct hit over the state in seven years.
average Florida homeowner is paying twice as much for insurance than
just six years ago, according to industry statistics. In some areas, the
increases are much higher.
from the New York-based Insurance Information Institute show
homeowners' claims are up by an average of more than 17 percent in the
past decade. They are virtually due to non-catastrophe claims involving
water. In many instances, they are claims for issues ranging from leaky
toilets to burst water heaters. Florida's rates have also been hurt by
soaring claims on losses from sinkholes.
more industry-friendly Office of Insurance Regulation, pressured by
Gov. Rick Scott and a Republican-led Legislature, means consumers pay
There is
little competition in the Florida property insurance market because many
consumers can buy from only one company - usually Citizens. Founded by
the Legislature in 2002 for homeowners who could not get private
policies, it has become the state's largest property insurance company
with more than 1.3 million customers after shedding some 160,000
policies in recent weeks to private companies.
Scott, of course, wants premiums to go up and he wants Citizens to be
depopulated at any cost to the policyholder," said state Rep. Mike
Fasano, whose west Florida district encompasses the highest
concentration of Citizens policy owners in the state. "Citizens is only
there because, unfortunately, so many couldn't find insurance anywhere
Citizens says it would need a 16.4 percent premium increase on all products in 2013 to be actuarially sound.
