Lawmakers weigh assault rifle banJanuary 18,2013MONTPELIER Vermont lawmakers plan this year to weigh in on the national debate over gun rights following a recent spate of mass shootings, including one in which 20 Connecticut schoolchildren and six school staff died.
Sen. Philip Baruth, the majority leader in the Senate, is introducing a bill that would reinstate in Vermont the federal assault weapons ban that had been in effect for several years but no longer is.
Baruths bill also seeks to cap the number of rounds in a guns magazine to five.
He said the restrictions would not affect hunters or people who want to protect themselves at home.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Sears said, meanwhile, that his committee will hold a public hearing on gun legislation in early February.MORE IN Vermont NewsINDIANAPOLIS Donald Trump virtually clinched the Republican nomination for president Tuesday...

On Monday evening I had the rare chance of a night out for dinner without children. Obviously I jumped at it. The dinner was hosted by San Remo, to celebrate the fact that the Australian Netball Diamonds were in Adelaide.
Now, there are a few good reasons for me to get a bit excited by this -
1. My eldest daughter Olivia, who is nearly 8, is
4. My youngest daughter Lexie, at 5, is desperate to start Net Set Go, which is the starting point for all kids wanting to play netball, which is a joint venture between Netball Australia and San Remo
3. Despite the fact that I try to avoid carbs after lunch, I adore pasta. Hell, I adore carbs of any description, but particularly pasta.
3. I have a serious crush on Adam Swanson who is the San Remo brand ambassador chef. Three words - silver fox. Hot.
I had a brilliant night out. The food was sensational. I ate this, and it was truly divine. (The recipe is actually here - so I may well try and replicate it at home.)
More than all that though, I had the pleasure of meeting the Australian Netball Diamonds and seeing the passion in their eyes as they talked about the game, the team and the competition. It was inspiring and reminded me of how much I loved playing as a team, and why I am so grateful that my girls are discovering a love of the game too.
The Diamonds are playing New Zealand's Silver Ferns tonight, in Adelaide. I wish them the best of luck! I shall be watching on the TV, on the edge of my seat!
San Remo have kindly given me a San Remo Pasta Gift Pack to give away to one lucky reader - a pasta gift pack containing a whole stack of San Remo pastas, as well as an apron and cap.
All you need to do to enter is make sure you go an "Like" San Remo via their Facebook page and leave me a comment below, telling me your favourite pasta dish or your favourite silver fox - simple! (Available to Australian readers only. Winner picked at random. Closing date Tuesday 1st November.)
Did you play netball as a kid? Do your kids play now?

Twelve jurors and six alternates are being seated in the Chicago trial of the man accused of the 2008 slayings of singer and actress Jennifer Hudson's family.
Cook County Circuit Judge Charles Burns and attorneys will resume work this morning seating a panel after 14 people were selected on Monday.
William Balfour is accused of killing Hudson's mother, brother and nephew. The 30-year-old Balfour faces a maximum life sentence if convicted.
Hudson's name came up frequently during questioning, though most of the would-be jurors insisted that despite what they knew about her or heard in the media about the case, they could consider only the evidence presented at the trial.

Heather Ainsworth, AP
ENDICOTT, N.Y. — Google, Apple and Facebook get all the attention. But the forgettable everyday tasks of technology — saving a file on your laptop, swiping your ATM card to get 40 bucks, scanning a gallon of milk at the checkout line — that's all IBM.
International Business Machines turns 100 on Thursday without much fanfare. But its much younger competitors owe a lot to Big Blue.
After all, where would Groupon be without the supermarket bar code? Or Google without the mainframe computer?
"They were kind of like a cornerstone of that whole enterprise that has become the heart of the computer industry in the U.S.," says Bob Djurdjevic, a former IBM employee and president of Annex Research.
IBM dates to June 16, 1911, when three companies that made scales, punch-clocks for work and other machines merged to form the Computing Tabulating Recording Co. The modern-day name followed in 1924.
With a plant in Endicott, N.Y., the new business also made cheese slicers and — significantly for its future — machines that read data stored on punch cards. By the 1930s, IBM's cards were keeping track of 26 million Americans for the newly launched Social Security program.
These old, sprawling machines might seem quaint in the iPod era, but they had design elements similar to modern computers. They had places for data storage, math processing areas and output, says David A. Mindell, professor of the history of technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Punch cards carted from station to station represented what business today might call "data flow."
"It was very sophisticated," Mindell says.
The force behind IBM's early growth was Thomas J. Watson Sr., a demanding boss with exacting standards for everything from office wear (white shirts, ties) to creativity (his slogan: "Think").
Watson, and later his son, Thomas Watson Jr., guided IBM into the computer age. Its machines were used to calculate everything from banking transactions to space shots. As the company swelled after World War II, IBM threw its considerable resources at research to maintain its dominance in the market for mainframes, the hulking computers that power whole offices.
"When we did semiconductors, we had thousands and thousands of people," says Donald Seraphim, who worked at IBM from 1957 until 1986 and was named a fellow, the company's highest honor for technical achievement. "They just know how to put the force behind the entrepreneurial things."
By the late '60s, IBM was consistently the only high-tech company in the Fortune 500's top 10. IBM famously spent $5 billion during the decade to develop a family of computers designed so growing businesses could easily upgrade.
It introduced the magnetic hard drive in 1956 and the floppy disk in 1971. In the 1960s, IBM developed the first bar code, paving the way for automated supermarket checkouts. IBM introduced a high-speed processing system that allowed ATM transactions. It created magnetic strip technology for credit cards.
For much of the 20th century, IBM was the model of a dominant, paternalistic corporation. It was among the first to give workers paid holidays and life insurance.
It ran country clubs for employees generations before Google offered subsidized massages and free meals.
"The model really was you joined IBM and you built your career for life there," says David Finegold, dean of the School of Management and Labor Relations at Rutgers University. Transfers to other cities were still common enough that employees joked IBM really stood for "I've Been Moved."
The origins of the company's nickname, Big Blue, are something of a mystery. It may simply derive from IBM's global size and the color of its logo.

Publisher's Description
This American classic is as fresh and meaningful today as it was when it was first written in the 19th century. Largely based on the author's own childhood, Little Women is a timeless tale of the four young March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy — who grow to maturity in their mother's tender but strong care. As different in their personalities as they are alike in their devotion to each other, the girls vow to support their beloved mother, Marmee, by behaving their best while Father is away, serving as an army chaplain in the Civil War.
Literary-minded tomboy Jo develops a fast friendship with the boy next door, and pretty Meg, the eldest, finds romance; frail and affectionate Beth fills the house with music, and little Amy, the youngest, seeks beauty with all the longing of an artist's soul. Although poor in material wealth, the family possesses an abundance of love, friendship, and imaginative gifts that captivate readers time and again.
This inexpensive, complete and unabridged edition of this beloved novel is sure to delight a generation of new readers, as well as those reacquainting themselves with its warmth and charm.

You used to get the later BT3000 switch with the cover and the red rocker switch under the cover. Pressingont he cover woiuld turn off the switch, you could not turn it on w/o lifting the cover and flipping the rocker switch to on. There was a metal loop that went thru the cover so you could lock access to the saw switch.
Not sure if the BT3100 swicth had a different hole or not, but the BT3100 switch has its own set of problems. Tends to stick in the on position.

Oklahoma state schools Superintendent changes link on Facebook page
Facebook page
link changes
State schools Superintendent Janet Barresi has made changes to a link in her Facebook page on the state Education Department's website after a lawmaker complained, a spokesman for the state official said Friday. Rep. Ed Cannaday, D-Porum, issued a news release saying he would file a complaint with the state Ethics Commission over the Republican Barresi's website. He said he was concerned her Facebook page links to her personal website, which seeks political contributions. Damon Gardenhire, Barresi's spokesman, said the link was "simple human error" and it has been corrected. "A phone call would have been nice; he chose to do a news release," Gardenhire said.
Assistant DA given top position
The first assistant district attorney in Logan and Payne counties will move into the top spot. Gov. Mary Fallin on Friday selected Tom Lee, the first assistant district attorney in the 9th District, to succeed Robert Hudson. Hudson had resigned to take a position with the Oklahoma attorney general's office. Lee, of Yale, served as a police officer for the Stillwater Police Department and as an Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper before joining the district attorney's office for Logan and Payne counties. In 2010, he was named Oklahoma's

The Bush administration's Cuba policy has reached a dead end.
Regions / Latin America & Caribbean
U.S. pundits need to stop labeling the regions many progressive leaders as members of the good left or bad left.
It's time to let Americans go to Cuba, erode the embargo and open the island to cultural and political currents that might bring pleasant and democratic winds of change.
This op-ed ran in Newsday on July 14, 2006.
This op-ed ran in the Baltimore Sun on June 30, 2006.
This op-ed appeared in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on June 11, 2006.
Recent months in Mexico have been marked by a campaign of fear against López Obrador.
The White House has to be concerned about the potential election of another Latin American government allied to the likes of Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales, overtly challenging the flagging war on drugs, and highly critical of neoliberal, free market economic policies. Eying the runoff against Alan García Pérez, Ollanta Humala Tasso has softened his rhetoric in recent days; but to be successful in the May round of elections, he must retain the support of the core constituency that propelled him to victory in April.
Peruvian elections will be notable for either marking a new neopopulist victory by a former military officer or the first woman Peruvian president.
Costa Rica is making headlines for a dead-heat election.

Becoming X by Sneaker Pimps
Do You Like My Tight Sweater?
Warner Bros./Echo
WHILE THE RECORD industry looks for signs that electronica will live up to its hype as the latest instant pop trend, the real revolution has been long coming, taking baby steps all the way. Don't be fooled: Hardcore rave music won't impact the charts any time soon. Instead, techno-flavored music will ease into our musical culture (as it has for the past decade at least)--through the dilettante-ish likes of U2 and David Bowie, perhaps, but also through likeable young British pop bands such as the Sneaker Pimps and Moloko.
Both groups' debut albums have taken their time getting over here: Sneaker Pimps' Becoming X was released six months ago in the U.K., while Moloko's Do You Like My Tight Sweater? is almost two years old. The delay is not surprising--club music has long held mainstream appeal in England. What's more telling, though--at least in terms of their chances for U.S. success--is both take cues from American groups. The Sneaker Pimps combine standard rock guitar parts with trip hop beats and white-soul vocals; when strumming an acoustic guitar (as on the first single, "6 Underground") the trio is virtually indistinguishable from Luscious Jackson. Moloko, on the other hand, is far too distinctive for easy comparison, though the duo's blend of deep electro-funk groove, club beats, and hip absurdist vocals, along with a brightly colored retro-futurism, comes closest to Deee-Lite.
While both groups use electronica's signifiers--jungle's rattle, trip hop's dark churn, ambient's synth washes--Sneaker Pimps never stray far from the comfy world of the pop song. Becoming X's opener, "Low Place Like Home," is only one step from Alanis, while the rousing closer is as breathy and sunny as the Cardigans. Moloko, though, by flashing a truly loopy attitude with songs as fresh and thrilling as they are instantly catchy, make Tight Sweater one of the best debuts of the year--no matter if it's 1995 or 1997.

The long-awaited Beard-0ff, or Battle of the Beards as I like to call it, finally took place at the Funhouse last night. Terry Radjaw of Mad Rad played Sir Thomas Gray of Champagne Champagne in an epic battle of 1 on 1 basketball that will be remembered for a long time. I haven't seen that many photographers, videographers, and reporters at a random event in ages. With light bulbs flashing, cameras were everywhere and you would have thought real celebrities were playing. And lot's of local music industry insiders were on hand, from Jason Lajeunesse and Kerri Harrop to Jake One and Jonathan Moore. As Radjaw stated to me a couple of weeks ago, "We must have done something right in this city where even our beards are infamous." Unfortunately for the boys of Mad Rad, Radjaw lost! It was a close one though. And it was all in good fun. The place was packed with scenesters, which wasn't surprising, but the Funhouse was the place to be last night for all the hipsters rather than Capitol Hill.
Justin Dylan Renney
To an extent, it looked humiliating! But to Radjaw's credit, he took it in good stride. And those guys love each other dearly so there are no hard feelings. Considering they charged people $8 to watch them play basketball, sold merch, and had a blast, I'd say nobody lost. Gray's bandmate Pearl saved as much of Radjaw's beard as possible, threw it in plastic bag, and says he's going to try to get it submitted to the EMP. Not sure if they'll be interested, but he promises to try. Check out a full slideshow of the events.

Journals and conference proceedings represent the dominant mechanisms for reporting new biomedical results. The unstructured nature of such publications makes it difficult to utilize data mining or automated knowledge discovery techniques. Annotation (or markup) of these unstructured documents represents the first step in making these documents machine-analyzable. Often, however, the use of similar (or the same) labels for different entities and the use of different labels for the same entity makes entity extraction difficult in biomedical literature. In this paper we present a system called BioAnnotator for identifying and classifying biological terms in documents. BioAnnotator uses domain-based dictionary lookup for recognizing known terms and a rule engine for discovering new terms. We explain how the system uses a biomedical dictionary to learn extraction patterns for the rule engine and how it disambiguates biological terms that belong to multiple semantic classes.

I started riding when I turned 50. I was 350 pounds; my knees and back were shot; and the only exercise I could do was ride bike. I purchased a Motiv Comfort Bike from CostCo It weighed close to 45 pounds. It had front and rear shocks and the biggest seat you have ever seen. I bought it because it had the name "comfort" in it. I purchased Joe Friel's book on Biking after 50 and began his training. (Great Book) I lost 128 pounds in nine months. By October of the following year I bought my first Carbon bike (Giant). When I had the Motiv; Friel's book suggested that you start slow (15mph) then increase a mile per hour every week or two. Well, with the Motiv I could not get that thing up to 15 mph without dropping it off a cliff. To sustain 15 mph on the motiv I had to be pumping 400 to 500 watts. Well with the Giant a new world opened. Initially I thought there was something wrong with the bike. As I began to ride I heard this low whirling noise. Turned out to simply be the wind. I now ride at least six centuries a year and at least one event ride per month.
The bike saved my life. I had become pre-diabetic; developed diabetic neuropathy in my feet. If I had continued down that road I would be on insulin today. Plus it is just darn fun to ride a bike on your own power over 30 mph. I have had the Giant up to 46 mph in Solvang. It makes me feel alive

Building Materials & Supplies in Centertown
Below is a list of businesses listed within our directory. If you do not see your business within the list below, you can submit it for addition to this list. Adding your business will feature your listing above Standard listings.
Dennis Wolf Concrete - Centertown, MO - Phone: (573) 584-9497
Helpful Definition for: Building Materials & Supplies
Building materials are primarily of two types; natural and artificial or man-made. Natural materials are available in plenty in and around Centertown. One needs to be quite sure about the production of any particular material. Based on high demand of any material at any particular place, the rate might be cheap. However, man-made materials are more or less of same price at almost all places in Centertown. The supply of building materials is done not only within that specific area but is also sometimes imported. It requires a great deal of human labor to produce and supply material apart from the natural materials, especially in large quantity requirement for building industries.

Our families are driving us crazy. Help!
My boyfriend and I are expecting our first child and our families have totally taken control of the pregnancy. They tell me what to eat and drink, which doctor and hospital I should go to, and even what we should name our baby. We're really excited about the baby, but we just don't know what to do about our families. Any suggestions?

I think that as annoying as unwanted advice may be, it is a sign that your family and your boyfriend's family is concerned about you and the baby. Be polite and just know that you are lucky to have so many people concerned with the well-being of you and your baby.posted 12/20/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I sympathize with those who are having babies with boyfriends/partners instead of husbands. Sorry guys, but I think men these days are too wimpy to make a commitment and it truly SUCKS for a woman to have to go through pregnancy without the security of KNOWING someone will be for her in the long haul, to have to beg for help from people whom she might not want help from and swallow her pride when it comes to our mothers & in-laws. Even if a woman is making a million dollars a year (in which case, I'm sure every man on earth will be lined up to marry her), she still needs someone there beside her, someone COMMITTED to her needs and not just by his word but LEGALLY BOUNDED to be there. It may not sound loving, but love is a choice; we can choose to submit to the law that binds us to one another, both externally (court) and internally (love). When we get married, we are admitting that we cannot trust our own heart to love but need the law to hold us to our commitment to love. The same goes for parents. I watch Law & Order (too much) and some of the cases (which are based on real life situations supposedly) are astounding. I think to myself, "how could a mother suffocate her own child?" Yet I know that neither I or anyone else is 'above' committing such an act, esp. during stressful times. So there are laws governing parental love as well, for which I am glad.posted 12/20/2004 by amcgrrl
I am pregnant with twins and we have a 15 yr old and a 9 yr old. My problem is that my mother is also selfish. She stated that she had only one true daughter; one that she has turned against me and my other 2 sisters. This one true daughter gives my mother her money. My mother has made nasty and inconsiderate comments about my older sister and has even turned her and her family away from her door in the wee hours of the night after being on the road all night long. Because of her religious beliefs she even stated that my husband could not attend a family cook out at her house-that he would have to remain in the kitchen and eat alone or we could just drop off my children! She invited her self to my house this past weekend when my 9yr old has was running a fever. I find out she is coming through my oldest sister. I called her and told her I wasnt in an entertaining kind of mood and that my back was hurting and that my daughter was sick. She responds by telling me not to take it out on the kids!!! I told her I didnt do things like that and she replied " oh yes you do! I know you" which made me loose my patience!!! I told her she didnt know anything about me and that I had to go! Well here it is a week later and she still insists on coming to my house(she doesnt know where I live and wants me to pick her up from my sisters house-but I refuse)uninvited!! I dont want to be around her because she tries to use people and even made the comment to another family memeber that she would use my oldest sister for everything she has until she couldnt use her anymore. When she found out my husband had lost his job last year she didnt call to see how we were doing she called to ask for money for her car insurance! She has made every excuse in the book not to come and visit before and now since I am having twins she wants to come up. She has four grand kids that dont like her because she has never acted like a grandmother to them and now she wants to be a part of the twins lives. After all the crap she has said and done I now dont want to be bothered! Am I wrong?? How do I get over this?? When my sister wrote her a letter a few moths ago telling her about her self, she didnt repspond back! She wanted to act ignorant like she didnt have a clue as to what my sister was talking about! I dont feel like being fake and stressed out and so I dont want to be bothered with her! I havent asked her for anything for the babies; the only thing I want is to be left alone. If she is involved there is drama!! From her making comments about peoples houses to their children she always has something negative to say and I dont want any part of that!!posted 12/23/2003 by powerpuffs
Lee, In response to your negative attitude and post, I would say you are a very angry person with no valid advise accept hatred that should be addressed. Just because you had a bad time with your INLAW does not lump me in the same grouping. You really missed the Just of the message. I am not a controlling person as you put and I DID ADDRESS MY EXCITEMENT AT THE END OF MY MESSAGE. We have a wonderful relationship because lucky for me my daughter inlaw understood what you don't. We are all mothers!!!! We all have good and bad ideas. Many responses say advise is outdated, does this mean you don't value your grandparents or the elderly advise anymore? GET SOME RESPECT, YOU MIGHT FIND YOU TOO WILL GET ALONG BETTER WITH YOUR INLAWS. STOP BEING SO JUDGEMENTAL ALSO, IT WOULD DO YOU A WORLD OF GOOD. TAKE AN ANGER MANAGEMENT COURSE! How dare YOU to say the inlaw has less rights then the other parent. If it weren't for the father (likewise the mother)i.e. BOTH PARENTS CHILDREN, there would not be baby, how stupid of you. I do dare to say I am as important, I could lose two people also, sorry you are an arrogant know it all at best which explains your troubles with your mother in law. But thanks for sharing your ill mannered opinion. It's a shame you are even having children with a nasty attitude like that. Your type is whats wrong with some children today. I am Blessed with both my son and my NEW DAUGHTER (notice I removed the inlaw part) and soon to be Grandson. She and I together worked through our problems respectfully FOR HER GOOD , NOT MINE. There are more points of view then your own, what a shame you can't except other points of view with respect. I TOO AM A DAUGHTER IN LAW for many years now! To the rest of you lady posters there was no offense intended, just well meaning and long proven advise that works, no selfish intentions on my part. Blessings to all of you , I hope that my original message may help some of you better understand where a mother in law is coming from to better your relationships for your baby and your husband/bf's and your sake. I know most of you would rather get along or you wouldn't be seeking advise. Advise is made to be given, it's up to anyone whether they choose to accept it or leave it. I am thankful for my new daughter dispite our differences of opinion (thats what makes the world go 'round) and FOR LEES INFO. She will make a wonderful mother , she has respect and care for others.posted 12/21/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
Be greatful you have a mother and mother in law that cares enough to do things for you. What kinda complaint is that?? Try having no one to do for you or help you out. Bet you would change your mind in a hurry.posted 12/24/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
Be happy you're pregnant, I am not.posted 12/19/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
Being the so called "dreaded mother in law" mentioned here I would like to put in some input. Daughter in laws that are pregnant should take in to consideration that it is a first time grandparent thing for "in laws" as well and a very nerve racking time for all concerned. Making an effort to be polite and giving the same respect to an in law should be the same as you give to your own mother. It is selfish to not consider that the inlaw too is the mother of the father of the baby and only really wants to be a big part of her grandchildrens lives as much as your own parents. You do allow your mom that glory so be considerate to both your husband(boyfriend)and your inlaws. Your mom(dad)has had a life time with you to build a trust factor that allows them more time to back off and let you do your thing, inlaws have not. You may find you are greatful in the end you had the offers of help from both sides. After all they both are grandparents equally and the life your baby will have will reflect both sides of parenting. Assure your mother in law that she is just as important as your mom in the life of your baby. Both sets of parents have great advise, they have been there. To ignore them or become arrogant will not make for a loving future but opens doors to long term hurt that may never mend. Kindness and respect goes a long way. Your inlaws are not the enemy, they love your baby too. Its not a matter of it being "YOUR" baby,that is already understood, its a matter of it being "BOTH" sides of the families baby to love also. Well meaning advise can be aggravating only if you think you know it all already or you think the "inlaw"factor is consider an outsider unlike your own parents. Be open and loving to both sides. It will allow the inlaw that doesn't know you or hasn't built a long term relationship with you to relax and back off after trust has time to set in. It takes a while to build trust that they too count as grandparents, especially if the daughter in law has been unopen to allowing them to share in their pregnancy ups and downs etc. Being spiteful (saying its my baby)only fuels the fire and can destroy relationships all the way around even with your own spouse (boyfriend). After all the mother inlaw raised the one you love and did a good job of it or you would not be with HER child. Always remember your inlaw is no less a parent then you or your own parent. They only want to be a part of all the excitement as much as your own parents. It can be a much more meaningful time if you do your part to assure all parties that they are very important equally in the life of the new baby. It took a little while with our own daughter in law, but she has come to that understanding and all parties are having the time of their lives in anticipation of the new one we will ALL love. Thanks.posted 12/20/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
I know what your dealing with. My mother-in-law, not so much my own Mom, but sometimes, goes off on what to do and how things should be and I just think that being honest and up front with them is your best way to go. If you don't (respectfully, of'corse) say something now, things will just get worse later and then you could blow up and it might not be pretty. I told my Mom how my mother-in-law was making me feel and that I was so glad that I could come to her and vent, and that if I every had an issue like this with her, that I could come to her and she would understand and stop forcing her opinion on me. Then I went and told the same story to my mother-in -law, and played my Mom as the bad guy and used the same technique of her valueing my choices and that I was so glad I could come to her and she would lay off without being offended. and it worked! It made them feel like we had this special bond and it got the point across. Now when ever my mother-in-law starts with a comment. I just stop her by jokingly saying,"now Mom you remember what I told you?" and just the look on my face or tone in my voice will let her know not to go there. I really hope this helps.posted 12/21/2003 by a BabyCenter Member
I am a 1st time grandmother-to-be and I too give my son's girlfriend advice. (actually they have just recently broken up)Their baby is due the end of March. Anyway, when she did live here I would print out different advice from BabyCenter of things I thought might be helpful. Quite frankly she had not really been taking very good care of herself. We had found out she had been smoking behind everyone's backs. Also, she never ate anything healthy,no veggies, no salads no fruits barely any meats just very small quantities if any. Yes, I am concerned for her and the baby. So I did often make comments and suggestions. My son was also quite concerned and often told me to talk to her b/c she might listen if the advice would come from me as opposed to him. Well, many other problems that had been between them in the past became almost unbearable a few weeks ago and they ended up splitting up. Yesterday she started have contractions and had to be monitored for a few hours and again today. I'm sure the stress could have alot to do with it and even her unhealthy habits might be to blame. Needless to say there is sure to be a whole other list of problems they are already starting to face. My son wants to be civil for the baby's sake and he wants to have joint custody. She threatens him he will never see the baby and so on. Then the next day she will call and have a different attitude toward the situation. I told him her hormones are acting crazy and to ignore her threats but I feel he still needs to seek a lawyer now so that he can be prepared for the custody situation. What a horrible way to have my 1st grand-daughter. I just wish she would quit smoking b/c we are quite concerned about the health of their unborn daughter. Any advice???posted 12/22/2004 by a BabyCenter Member

Pre-kindergarten offer letters went out today to nearly 68,000 city children born in 2012 and 85 percent got an offer to one of their top three choices; 71 percent to their first choice. Those who didn't get a seat at one of the schools they listed on their application were assigned to a different program, according to the Department of Education. Every four-year-old is guaranteed a slot in a full-day program at a public school, a pre-k center run by the DOE or at an early education Center—although not necessarily at the school or program closest to your home. If you like what you got, make sure you pre-register at the program or school by May 20. If you're not happy with your choice or just want to keep looking, here's what you need to know.

John Mayer headlining Summerfest July 6
Mere hours after announcing the Eagles would headline Summerfest's final night, officials with the music festival have announced yet another act for the Big Gig: John Mayer will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on July 6.
Mayer announced his summer tour in a Google+ Hangout with fans Thursday night. He released a new album, "Born and Raised," last year, his first to stay in the top spot on the Billboard charts for more than a week. But he had to cancel a tour in 2012 after a granuloma in his throat was discovered. It was the second time in two years it surfaced, but Mayer underwent a second surgery and last January was able to sing on stage for the first time since April 2011. »Read Full Article(6)

Economic News & Analysis—July 16, 2012
Retail sales: Reopening the "supply or demand" quandaryBy Brian Jacobsen, Ph.D., CFA, CFP®, Chief Portfolio Strategist, and John Manley, CFA, Chief Equity Strategist
Monthly sales for retail trade and food services dropped in June from May, according to the advance report from the Census, which shows that:
The slowdown in sales is another piece of evidence that the economy is slowing. It will probably also rekindle debates about how to best rekindle the economy. Monetary policy is unlikely to have much effect on the economy (do banks not have enough excess reserves or are government yields not low enough?), though it could temporarily boost the financial markets. Fiscal policy seems to be hamstrung, not by a divided government so much as a divisive one.
What ails the economy—supply or demand?Some of the political debate about what ails the economy reminds me of the ancient question, "Which came first, the chicken or the egg?" Philosophers have debated this for centuries (I think even Plato and Aristotle disagreed about the right answer). Statisticians have tried to measure it without coming to a consensus.
Maybe the answer is neither came first—it was a tie.
Perhaps that's true for the economy as well. Some argue that the problem right now is a lack of demand: If you want the economy to grow, you need more demand, and the government can step in where the private sector has been lagging (labeled "Keynesian policies"). Others argue that it's a lack of supply: Managers of businesses need better access to credit and lower tax rates to spur production (labeled "supply-side policies").
This is an ancient debate in economics: Which came first, supply or demand?
The 19th century economist Jean-Baptiste Say said, "Products are paid for with products." In other words, to consume, you must first produce. John Maynard Keynes, the 20th century economist who gave birth to Keynesian economics, paraphrased (and—in my opinion—corrupted) Say's Law when he stated, "Supply creates its own demand." This has since been taken to mean that producers dupe consumers into buying things they don't otherwise need through advertising.
Keynesian versus supply-side economics—or something in the middleFor those who are interested in the economic origins of the debate, think of it as coming from different interpretations of a rather famous—and simple—model of the economy: Y=C+I+G+NX. Total spending (Y) is equal to consumption spending (C) plus investment spending (I) plus government spending (G) plus net exports (NX, which is exports minus imports, as part of domestic spending is on imported goods and part of domestic production is bought by foreigners). In an economy in which one person's spending is another person's income, total spending (Y) is also equal to total income (Y). Keynesians tend to think that if you want to spur the economy (increase Y) you need to focus on the right-hand side of the equation: Slow growth is due to insufficient spending. The government can then step in by being the "spender of last resort."
People with a supply-side orientation tend to focus on the left-hand side of the equation (Y). A supply-side orientation would tend to start with saying output (Y) is a function of the technology available and the various inputs into the production process (the "factors of production" categorized as land, labor, and capital). Thus, if you want more Y, businesses need to employ more inputs or improve the way they combine the inputs into making outputs. This creates more production, which creates more real income—income that can be spent. Government can help by cutting taxes on production, promoting freer global trade, lowering regulatory burdens on business, and lowering the costs associated with hiring more workers.
Tax policy can address both supply and demandNot increasing taxes is a solution that addresses both supply and demand at the same time. There are approximately 1.2 million businesses that are taxed at the individual level whose owners make more than $200,000 per year—the group President Obama wants to target for tax increases. Not raising their taxes could at least prevent a further obstacle to their expanding—or not contracting—their businesses.
There are also more than 142 million people employed in the U.S. that are affected by the two-percentage-point payroll tax cut that is expiring at the end of the year. Not forcing a pay cut on these people by extending the payroll tax cut couldn't hurt in terms of propping up—or at least not dragging down—consumer spending.
Don't expect any compromise or answer before the November elections. Most likely, the result will be an extension of current policy into early 2013, when the next session of Congress takes up the task of crafting policy. Until then—and even after then—expect to hear a lot of debate about which came first, the chicken or the egg.

ꀯ(⑈ꑒ᷅⺫ꑒ᷄) << this has been my face for the past month and a half, so needless to say: I'm so fucking done. lol. I can't with class anymore. I only have Korean class next week (with a presentation due Monday) and I'm so excited that this shit is finally over. For some reason this semester had me feeling pretty doomed. I wanted to quit so bad but I knew I wouldn't... Why? Because I feel like I HAVE to finish this. I need something to authenticate the time I've wasted in uni so far. My god, am I sick of uni. UGHHH~
Anyway! On a brighter note, the event at the National Museum in Copenhagen was a success! I had such a great time, met a couple of readers/viewers and even got to be the judge on the Noraebang competition (karaoke). This lovely Thai girl won and she actually gave her prize to her mom :') So precious! I'm so happy that she won. She definitely deserved it! Good job, girl! ^3^)/
To everyone who made it to the event - thank you so much for coming! I was mainly occupied by either the competition or by walking around with a cosplayer from Japan. Her name is KUROWKO and she was so cute! She's good friends with HOTARU whom I met at the cosplay event. Such a small world! Haha, we had a great time! After the event everyone in staff got a wee bit tipsy on beer and I totally forgot to tell my friends that I wasn't coming out for dinner after all, lol. Whoops (sorry, Haku xD)
Monday following the event, I went with Julie and Kurowko to go sightseeing around in Copenhagen. First I had to send off Yinnie to the airport tho and go to class myself. If you guys didn't know, Yinnie came over for the weekend from Friday-Monday. It was so weird to finally meet her! She and I have been mailing/chatting back and forth and even sent each other care packages back in the day. I've known her since 2007 and we haven't met until now! HOW CRAZY IS THAT?! Anyway, I had such a great time housing her and we saw many things with Julie, ate good food and caught up! Had a good ole chin-wag, hehehehe >: D She taught me British! Or well.. kind of. She introduced me to Chelsea slang/dialect and it's so funny, I can't even. xD
Anyway, since I have a bit of down-time right now, I figured I'd share some photos with you all. I'm so sorry for being such a shitty blogger, but there's been so much to do recently T_T; I've been trying to film youtube videos too, but it just doesn't work out at all. UGH SO FRUSTRATING! Anyway, just know that I'm still working on that :( sorry guys.
But photos! YAY! I'll add a little description for some of them, hue hue ^3^)/

My walks are still happening - tho not as often (because allergies). But late-night ones are the best anyway.. The trees look so nice atm :')
Some recent tattoo adventures! Whoops :'D
Was using this tattoo balm while healing, but I feel that the texture is too thick. It doesn't go on nice and smooth - it's very thick and almost sticky. Not a fan! I'm using my Beauté Pacifique body lotion for dry skin now, as it absorbs really well and has a high content of vitamin A - A for heAling? lol.
Tattoo sneak-peek! WEE!
Can you tell what it is? I tried searching Google for similar ones, but there are... NONE at all. I feel special :') A little bit.. hehehehehe

CLose-up of the dinner! Nomsss! Mozarella and curry-baked chicken breast with rösti (hashbrowns), salad and sauce bearnaise! Hnnnnng!
My recent book-get! The Ice Twins. I read two chapters and I like it so far. It gets right to business but it's still a little slow. I don't know. I'm used to books taking their sweet time to get to the actual plot, but this one is right in your face. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done ^3^)/
nom nom ice cream!
I have to get some sort of soda with ice cream because the acid kinda makes the stomach not so upset. I don't know how that works, but it works. So yay! Guest appearance by Dev!
Best pizza slices in town, baby!
They give you a huge slice for 20DKK! Student discounts ftw!

Good luck on your finals! (I managed to pass the two pre-tests for Science in Theory already. How did that happen? Who knows.. lol) Gotta prepare that presentation for tomorrow on Korean idol lifestyles. Can of course only gage to my own experiences and the information that I have, but oh well.. It'll be fun!
Thanks for reading!

Neighborhood News Roundup: Brown-Headed Cowbird Editon
A regular summary of irregular news and notes from neighborhood blogs and email lists around the District.
For the Birds, II: Brookland is all about bird-watching these days. After a discussion over the weekend on what plants might best attract hummingbirds, a member of the neighborhood email list notes, "We have a bunch of brown headed cowbirds in our backyard. This is the first time we have had them." Brown-headed cowbirds are unremarkable-looking (despite their very silly name), but according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, they're quite the moochers: "Females forgo building nests and instead put all their energy into producing eggs, sometimes more than three dozen a summer. These they lay in the nests of other birds, abandoning their young to foster parents, usually at the expense of at least some of the host's own chicks." That's not very neighborly.
Public Service Announcement: New Columbia Heights reminds readers that Columbia Heights' newest (and perhaps only) sports bar, Lou's City Bar, didn't actually replace Commonwealth Gastropub. The most notable dish at Jamie Leeds'—of Hank's Oyster Bar fame—restaurant seemed to be the Scotch eggs; inevitably, New Columbia Heights' post has tipped off a wishlist from commenters of what they'd like to see in the neighborhood. Two suggestions include "a Kebab/Mediterranean joint like the ones they have in Adams Morgan. On a day when I don't feel like making the trek– a Shwarma King or Astor Mediterranean close by would be heaven" and "a cupcake joint with a liquor license."
In Brightwood, Business is Booming: There's been lots of movement on and nearby upper Georgia Avenue recently. Last week, The Brightwoodian noted that Baltimore-based Red Tree would be opening a D.C. shop, Trohv. Over the the past week, Washington Deli has had its soft opening and should move to regular hours soon. There's a general consensus that Washington Deli's pizza and subs—which include vegan options—will be good for the neighborhood. Writes one commenter, "SO GLAD they've finally opened! I've been a fan of their vegan sandwiches and slices at the downtown location for some time–nice to have them in the neighborhood!" A new Brightwood blog, Almost Undefined, gives it a thumbs-up, too.
Best in the Business: Speaking of local businesses, there's quite an ode to Cathedral Pharmacy on the Cleveland Park email list. After Walgreen's and CVS both failed to secure a particular skin care product for a neighborhood resident, Cathedral Pharmacy was able to do so—by the next day—with little trouble. This prompted the resident to write, "The chains offer certain useful services; I do give them my business. For me, however, independents remain the leaders in what can only be referred to as good customer service when it comes to the diversity products they offer and the willingness to take the extra step for (even infrequent, such as me) customers. Our community has a few independent retailers –such as Cathedral Pharmacy– who go out of their way to serve this neighborhood. If we hope to keep them here, and to benefit from the services they offer, we need to remember that they count on us, and patronize their stores." As budgets for Main Street improvement programs get slashed, that's probably a good thing to remember.
