Majority Believe Obama Policies Will Fail
A new CNN/ORC poll released Monday, found that a majority of Americans — 56 percent, now think Obama's policies are likely to fail in coming years. According to the new CNN poll, only 37 percent think Obama's policies will succeed will succeed. The finding is a reversal from a year ago when CNN polling found 54 percent that President Obama's policies would succeed, while 39 percent | Read More »

Let's be real: breakups suck. A lot. Telling your friends, giving back his fave hoodie, and updating your Facebook status to "single" can feel overwhelming, but hey, it happens to the best of us, right? Katy Perry's new movie Part Of Me shows how hard splitting from your former love can be, but Katy comes out ahead in the end. Instead of wallowing in bed watching The Notebook, she wipes off her tears, puts on her candy costume, and rocks it on stage.
Channel your inner Katy and get over your ex for good (or give this playlist to a newly single friend and help her out) by listening to Seventeen's "Get Over A Guy" playlist. This is not a breakup song compilation — there's no Adele or any lines moping about "somebody that you used to know" on here. These songs will have you singing, dancing, and thinking about eying some new cuties in no time.

Trey Hillman's Pregame Dugout Interview
Soria shelved
Kansas City Royals closer Joakim Soria is going to be out a minimum of 3-5 days due to tightness in his right shoulder. The good news is the MRI showed there is no structural damage.
I'm back
Kansas City Royals RF Jose Guillen is probable for tomorrow's game against the Detroit Tigers. His status has been upgraded due to his consistent effort with regards to weight training and the strengthening of his hip. Hillman stated he would most likely like to see Guillen in right field, and is excited to find a spot in the line-up where his power can be utilized. Guillen will continue to monitored and days off are not out of the question. Guillen has been on the disabled list since April 10 with a partially torn right hip flexor.
Here I come, Orel
Manager Trey Hillman was bombarded with questions about the ever-consistent and amazingly steady Zack Greinke. Many reporters were asking the Royals manager, "What do you expect from Zack, what can we expect." His response, "I won't ask him to give me what we have been seeing, you can't expect that from him, it's not fair". The Skipper went on to say that to maintain and stay relatively consistent is of more importance. One reporter asked, can you give me two words or less to describe Zack, he said, "fantastic". I think we all agree with that last statement. To date, Zack Greinke has pitched 34.0 scoreless innings, 25 shy of the all-time major league record set in 1988 by Dodgers great Orel Hershiser. Although to be fair, Hershiser did it all in one season.

Since 2006, the Ohio Smoke-Free Workplace Act has banned indoor smoking at public establishments and places of employment, making Ohio the first Midwestern state to enact a state-wide ban. Despite controversy and contestment, that ban will continue to be enforced statewide.
The owner of Zeno's Victorian Village in Columbus who attempted to combat the law was shut down by a unanimous 7-0 vote in the Ohio Supreme Court today, which ruled that the state's six-year smoking ban is constitutional.
Ohio's ban affects some 280,000 establishments across the state of Ohio, according to the Ohio Department of Health (ODH).
According to the Supreme Court of Ohio's case summary, Zeno's was cited 10 times for violations of the ban from July 2007 and September 2009, receiving multiple fines, none of which were paid. In protest of the violations, the director of the ODH filed a complaint against Bartec Inc., the corporate entity that owns Zeno's, requesting the bar to pay all outstanding fines.
Bartec and legal representative 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, a nonprofit legal center, asserted that the smoking ban was unconstitutional, a violation of the state's policing powers and that prohibiting smoking in an adults-only liquor-licensed establishment such as Zeno's is "unduly oppressive," according to the case summary.
The ban and its enforcement, argued Bartec, constitutes an unlawful taking of property, meaning an improper confiscation of the owner's control of the indoor air.
"The goal of this legislation is to protect the health of the workers and other citizens of Ohio. ... It does so by regulating proprietors of public places and places of employment in a minimally invasive way. We therefore hold that the Smoke Free Act does not constitute a taking," wrote Justice Lanzinger in her opinion.
In her written opinion, Justice Judith Ann Lanzinger also cited 2002 Supreme Court decision, D.A.B.E., Inc. v. Toledo-Lucas Cty. Bd. of Health:
"We have previously stated that the General Assembly has the authority to enact a public-smoking ban. ... Although the Smoke Free Act was ultimately passed pursuant to a ballot initiative, the voters of Ohio also have a legitimate purpose in protecting the general welfare and health of Ohio citizens and workforce from the dangers of secondhand smoke in enclosed public places. By requiring that proprietors of public places and places of employment take reasonable steps to prevent smoking on their premises by posting 'no smoking' signs, removing ashtrays, and requesting patrons to stop smoking, the act is rationally related to its stated objective."
According to the Columbus Dispatch, the bar owes the state approximately $33,00 in violation fines, and the state has threatened to seize and foreclose the bar if the fines aren't paid.
See how Ohio's public smoking laws compare to those in other states across the U.S. here.
America is a country at war. While the war in Iraq ostensibly drew down in December 2011, the United States has been quagmired in a war in Afghanistan for more than a decade.
But we're also in the midst of a number of other wars — cultural wars. It started with Nixon's War on Drugs, then quickly escalated.
President Barack Obama's environmental regulations on coal mining caused proponents to claim he had declared a War on Coal. The Affordable Care Act's mandate that companies pay for employee contraception caused many faith groups to claim a War on Religion.
Statements from Republican politicians about "legitimate rape" and "binders full of women" caused some Democrats to claim the GOP had declared a War on Women.
And the ever-vigilant conspiracists news hounds at FOX News have exposed a scheme by Jesus-hating liberals to wage a War on Christmas for trying to remove constitutionally questionable dolled-up trees and pastoral scenes of babies in unsuitable barn-life cribbery faith-based displays from public property.
But by far the most heinous altercation being waged originated with Republican Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, who has declared a War on Babies.
As first reported by The Enquirer, conservative groups this week sent out a press release vilifying Niehaus for killing tons of babies in a mass effort to wipe out the state's youth population a 17-month old bill that would give Ohio one of the strictest abortion laws in the nation.
Niehaus moved the so-called Heartbeat Bill — which would ban all abortions after the first detectable fetal heartbeat — from the Health Committee to the Rules and Reference Committee to avoid a forced vote on the legislation. He also removed staunch anti-abortion Senators Keith Faber and Shannon Jones from that committee.
"I'm shocked by Tom Niehaus' war on pro-life women," wrote Lori Viars in the news release. Viars is the vice president of Warren County Right to Life and vice chair of Warren County Republican Party.
Viars called for Republicans to remove Niehaus from Senate leadership. Niehaus is term-limited and will not continue on in office after this year.
Niehaus blamed Romney's loss for his decision to kill the bill, saying that the Republican's victory would have increased the likelihood of a U.S. Supreme Court lineup that would uphold it against a likely challenge.
Since the Watergate-era, Ohio has had a panel with authority to penalize those who deliberately disseminate false information during elections. Cincinnati's conservative anti-tax group COAST — which has been outspoken against the streetcar project — has chafed that it might someday run afoul of the Ohio Elections Commission for spouting off. COAST sees the Election Commission's job of policing political discourse as creating a government-controlled censorship panel. It asked: How could anybody in Columbus have the power to decide what is true and false in political advertising? Free speech should trump the Election Commission's power to zip lips, or levy penalties over false statements.
So COAST went to court and filed a challenge last year that asked a U.S. court in Cincinnati for an injunction putting the Ohio Elections Commission on ice. Last week, U.S. District Judge Michael R. Barrett (a former chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party) tossed the COAST case out of court.
Barrett agreed with COAST that the back-and-forth of political speech is an important right. But he declared COAST had not shown its ability to make provocative statements had been damped, or "chilled," by the existence of the Ohio Elections Commission. The lawsuit is styled COAST Candidates PAC, et al v. Ohio Elections Commission, el al, Case No. 1:11cv775, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio.
Barrett said that if COAST had admitted it planned to lie it might have a better case. He wrote: "Plaintiffs responded that while they do not intend to engage in false speech, their speech has been chilled out of fear that any provocative statement might be challenged as false by political opponents. ... Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate something 'more' than a subjective allegation of chill in this case."
Barrett said there was no proof of actual or imminent harm. In other words, nobody had tried to make COAST shut up. Barrett wrote off COAST's worries as veering into sheer fantasy.
would need to make some statement in the future, then Cincinnatians for
Progress, or some other group or individual, would need to file a
groundless complaint against plaintiffs and defendants would then fail
to follow the provisions in Section 3517.22. The scenario is far too speculative."
The legal battle started last fall over the streetcar referendum and 20 different COAST-linked tweets against the project. One said the Cincinnati Fire Department had been browned out because city money had been used to "pay for streetcar boondoggle." When streetcar backers filed a complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission last year, the panel cleared COAST. After citizens voted to continue the streetcar project, COAST said they were under ongoing threat of being hauled before the state commission and filed the federal lawsuit.
The challenged state law against political lies says nobody can, "post,
publish, circulate, distribute or otherwise disseminate, a false
statement, either knowing the same to be false or acting with reckless
disregard of whether it was false or not, that is designed to promote
the adoption or defeat of any ballot proposition or issue."
And it is still on the books.
In the Ohio House of Representatives, the difference between a Republican supermajority and a normal majority is now 14 votes. That's how many votes are splitting Republican Rep. Al Landis and Democratic challenger Josh O'Farrell. The small difference has already triggered an automatic recount and likely a series of lawsuits from Democrats over counting provisional ballots. The supermajority would allow Ohio House Republicans to pass legislation without worry of a governor's veto and place any measure on the ballot — including personhood initiatives — without bipartisan approval.
City Manager Milton Dohoney Jr. unveiled his 2013 budget proposal at a press conference yesterday. The proposal will pursue privatizing the city's parking services to help close a $34 million deficit. The privatization plan has already faced some early criticism from Democrat P.G. Sittenfeld. The budget will also make minor cuts elsewhere. In addition to the 2013 budget, the Tentative Tax Budget proposal, which Dohoney passed to City Council and the mayor yesterday, also raises property tax rates.
Meanwhile, the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners approved the 2013 budget in a 2-1 vote. Democrat Todd Portune was outvoted by Republicans Chris Monzel and Board President Greg Hartmann. The final budget was basically Hartmann's "austerity" proposal, barring some minor tweaks. The cuts could cost 150 or more Hamilton County jobs.
Councilman Chris Smitherman is facing a challenge for his spot as president of the Cincinnati chapter of the NAACP. The councilman's opponent is Bob Richardson, a former officer of Laborers Local 265 and former president of the Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Council. Richardson's son told WVXU, "I think we have seen the NAACP veer off its core principles and turn into a tool for Smitherman and his conservative ideas."
In a promising sign for the local economy, Greater Cincinnati banks are taking in more money from deposits.
The 21c Museum Hotel opened yesterday. But the hotel has critics, including Josh Spring from the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition. Drawing a comparison to the situation between Western & Southern and the Anna Louise Inn, Spring said the hotel ended up displacing far too many people.
Cincinnati Children's Hospital is taking up research into how autism develops.
A new report found expanding Medicaid in Ohio could cost the state $3.1 billion. The money would be enough to insure 457,000 uninsured Ohioans. Previous studies found states that expanded Medicaid faced less health problems.
One concern with the state's "fracking" boom: water supply. Some are worried that the amount of water needed to fuel hydraulic fracturing, a drilling technique for oil and gas, will drain Ohio's wells and reservoirs.
After some sentencing reform, Ohio's inmate population is not decreasing as fast as some state officials would like. As the state deals with prison overpopulation and more expensive prisons, Gov. John Kasich's administration has turned to privatization. CityBeat looked at issues surrounding private prisons and the connections between the state government and private prison companies here.
Ohio women are having fewer abortions in the state. The drop seems largely attributable to increased access to birth control. Better access to health care and improved health education are also factors.
Ever forget to take some medication? No longer. There is now a pill that can inform others when it's taken.
When CityBeat profiled the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in May, just after the conservative organization held a private meeting in Cincinnati, some of its members downplayed conspiracy theories about the group and its love of secrecy.
Fueled by corporate donations, ALEC is credited with working quietly behind the scenes to draft legislation that can then be introduced by elected state lawmakers. Among its efforts, ALEC spearheaded the push in Ohio, Wisconsin and elsewhere to introduce bills that limited or abolished collective bargaining rights for public-sector labor unions.
The membership list that contains the names of the roughly 2,000 state legislators and about 300 private-sector supporters who belong to ALEC is kept confidential.
State Sen. Bill Seitz (R-Green Township), who sits on ALEC's board of directors, noted in the CityBeat article that the identity of its sponsors aren't kept secret. They include the American Petroleum Institute, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., Coors and the National Rifle Association.
Now with the help of Aliya Rahman, an activist based at Miami University in Oxford who organized the Cincinnati protest, The Nation magazine has obtained more than 800 documents representing decades of ALEC's model legislation. The treasure trove of materials is featured in The Nation's Aug. 1-8 issue, which currently is on sale.
[UPDATE: Read more about Rahman's path to unearthing the documents here.]
In conjunction with the Center for Media and Democracy, The Nation asked policy experts to analyze this never-before-seen archive.
As The Nation's John Nichols writes, "Inspired by Milton Friedman's call for conservatives to 'develop alternatives to existing policies (and) keep them alive and available,' ALEC's model legislation reflects long-term goals: downsizing government, removing regulations on corporations and making it harder to hold the economically and politically powerful to account. Corporate donors retain veto power over the language, which is developed by the secretive task forces."
A full archive of the exposed ALEC legislation is available here.
A new website called Cuts Hurt Ohio shows the impact of the state government slashing budgets. It gives a glimpse into how each county has been affected by cuts in education and local government aid programs.
For Hamilton County, the website shows cuts of $241 million in
the 2012-2013 budget. Education funds in Hamilton County were cut by a
total of $136 million, while other funds have been slashed by $105
million. The website also reports budget-related news headlines for
Hamilton County: "Cincinnati superintendent salary to be cut in half,"
"Townships may not have any police presence when they lose sheriff
patrols" and "Report: Children services in Cincinnati stretched."
For all of Ohio, cuts total $2.88 billion. Education programs were cut by $1.8 billion statewide, and aid provided to local governments was reduced by $1.08 billion.
Innovation Ohio and Policy Matters Ohio opened created the website to raise awareness and show the differences between former Gov. Ted Strickland's 2010-2011 budget and Gov. John Kasich's 2012-2013 budget. The numbers are based on data provided by the Ohio Department of Taxation and Ohio Department of Education.
Since some cuts are due to the loss of federal stimulus funds, not all the cuts are directly linked to the state government slashing its budget. But the 2012-2013 budget will pull funding to the Ohio Department of Education down to $9.8 billion in the 2013 fiscal year, which is lower than the amount of funding education received before Ohio obtained federal stimulus dollars.

The tougher reading standards could potentially hold back 12 percent of Ohio third-graders, according to The Columbus Dispatch.
With the new rules, kids would be tested every year starting in Kindergarten. Any kids who are below standards would receive special tutoring, and any who fail to improve to "proficient" or above by the time of the third-grade reading test would be held back.
Similar standards were passed in Florida a decade ago. While it was rough at first with 13 percent of third-graders in Florida being held back, scores have begun improving, Patricia Levesque, former education advisor to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, told The Dispatch.
However, research shows holding kids back hurts them more than helps. After reviewing decades of research, the National Association of School Psychologists found that grade retention has "deleterious long-term effects," both academically and socially.
Kasich has also proposed tougher grading standards for schools and districts, which he hopes will hold schools more accountable.
Republican critics don't necessarily oppose all the reforms, but they would like to see the reforms implemented more carefully and slowly. School officials, state education groups and teachers unions have repeatedly asked for more time to tell parents and teachers about the upcoming changes.
The news comes at a time when states around the country are moving to enact education reform after years of disappointment. In 2010, the U.S. fell to a rating of "average" in the international rankings released by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development. The U.S. ranked No. 14 out of 34 OECD countries in reading, No. 17 for science and a below-average No. 25 for math.
One bright spot was found earlier this year when a report showed U.S. high school graduation rates had increased to 75.5 percent in 2009, up from 72 percent in 2001.
President Barack Obama has tried to encourage widespread education reform with his "Race to the Top" initiative. The program pushes states to compete for funds with education reform plans. The states with the best programs are then rewarded federal funds as they implement reform.
Former Gov. Ted Strickland won funds for Ohio with his reform plan, and U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan congratulated Ohio for being on schedule with reforms earlier this year.
Cincinnati inched closer to equality after moving forward Monday with a measure that would allow city employees in same-sex and other partnerships to receive health insurance benefits.
With a push by Chris Seelbach, the first openly gay councilman in Cincinnati, the measure passed the finance committee with the support of all council members except Charlie Winburn, who abstained.
The approval came after a city report found that same-sex benefits could cost as much as $543,000 a year if 77 partners took advantage of the benefits.
The report suggested City Council mimic a system already in place in Columbus, which requires partners to prove financial interdependency and that they have been together for six months.
If the measure passes City Council, Cincinnati would be more caught up with other cities, states, countries and companies that already grant health benefits to same-sex couples. Earlier this year, the Human Rights Campaign estimated that 60 percent of Fortune 500 companies offer health benefits to same-sex couples, including Procter and Gamble and Fifth Third Bank.
Altogether, it seems like a small step toward equality. What's unfortunate is none of it would be required if same-sex marriage was legal in Ohio. If it was, same-sex couples could get marriage benefits, including health-care coverage.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine on Tuesday approved the petition language for an amendment that would overturn Ohio's 2004 ban on gay marriage. The new amendment would define marriage as "a union of two consenting adults, regardless of gender."
The amendment now moves forward to the Ohio Ballot Board. If approved, it will then require 385,253 signatures from registered voters and, finally, voter approval.
Ohio banned same-sex marriage in 2004 with a majority vote of 62 percent. But Ian James, co-founder of the Freedom to Marry Coalition, told the Huffington Post that he is optimistic things will be different this time, citing recent polls that show the nation is moving toward support of gay marriage.

What are your thoughts on Steens Mountain?
What are your thoughts on Steens Mountain?
Just be careful all those wind turbines don't slice you and take ear buds to block out the constant drone
I saw pics of a few mediocre to nice bucks that were killed down there this year but no real wall hangers. Overall populations are way down along with all of SW Oregon due to a predator pit situation caused by an abundance of cougars.
Bottom line is it isn't worth the amount of points it takes to draw the tag but that is more or less across the board when it comes to Mule Deer in Oregon. The good news is it is incredible country and you stand a good chance of spotting a cougar to kill....
I wouldn't waste points on it unless you are elk hunting. More elk down there now than deer.
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

May 30, 2016
Gov. Robert Bentley has not yet announced a decision on whether he wants Alabama to create a health insurance exchange or leave it to the federal government.
Friday is the deadline for states to notify the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services about what they intend to do.
Exchanges are mandated by the Affordable Care Act for each state, but they can be state-run or federally-run.
A spokesman for the governor, Jeremy King, told the Montgomery Advertiser that Bentley is speaking with other governors and will let the federal government know by the deadline.
States that want to create exchanges have to give federal officials a blueprint by Dec. 14.
The exchanges will give the uninsured a place to price insurance and apply for subsidies.

Queers who think they're racist and yet listen to rap and think they are the shit because they wear Skin, Famous star, Alpine star, and SRH shirts and ride dirt bikes and do drugs. They usually wear Electric or Spy sunglasses. They are typically fans of Cotton Mouth Kings and Metal Mulisha. The average truck that a bro drives is a Ford F-150 with stickers of the brands listed above. Bro's typically live in Southern California. They date girls that are called Bro hoe's
Kyle hates those guys in the SRH and Famous Star shirts because they are bro's.

A redneck of sorts. Usually a white ugly short guy who wears big belt buckles(often iron crosses) and drives a lifted pick up truck. They have ugly ass girl friends who they have to be with 24/7 and they beat them too. Always hang out with other bros and are often wiggers and but always faggots. Also they like Metal Mulisha and make sure everyone knows that by putting big ugly ass stickers on their back window of their car. Just fags.
Check out that bro's lifted F-350! Thats tight bro!

White, annoying pieces of shit from somewhere around Orange County, or Las Vegas, or Phoenix who always wear tank tops/wifebeaters, exclusively drink Monster energy drinks, advertise Monster on their shitty hats and shirts, drive shitty trucks, listen to bullshit like Hollywood Undead and Skrillex, call themselves a "bro" all the time and somehow are not really "fat", yet their width is longer than their height. They stand around 5'3" on average and think that the Xbox 360 is the only gaming console in existence and that the Gears of War series is "beast". Relatively simple concepts like philosophy, as well as post-7th grader vocabulary such as "relatively" go right over their empty fuckin' heads.
"Bro, dude, bro! You know I'm a bro, right? Fuck man, last night I went to Hollywood Undead, PARTIED, and drank six Monsters! It was BEAST! WOOP WOOP! Fuck fucking shit!"

Brother shortened. The best friend in life you'll ever have. A bro is your brother, whether related or not. Bros are always there to help eachother out. A bro sticks with you through the hardest times in life. Someone who you can just sit back, smoke some pot, and chill with.
Bros before hos
Bros always got eachothers backs
Bros for life

That guy on the football team who loves The Dave Matthews Band and can (and frequently proves that he can) play the opening stanza of "The General" by Dispatch on the guitar. If he's lucky, he may have a Rasta friendship bracelet.
Jonny: Whoa, cool song, bro. What's it called?
Dan: "The General" by Dispatch.
Jonny: Nice, bro. I'll check it out.
Allison: (from afar) His jeans are so ripped! I wish he'd give me a friendship bracelet.

A guy who replaces the name of his guy friends, in some extreme cases girls too, with bro, man, or dude. A bro plays lacrosse, and/or ultimate frisbee, if he surfs that is a bonus. He always wears a hat, either backwards trucker hat or any pastel colored hat (usually sporting a logo such as vineyard vines, C+M, nantucket, etc) with slippers, topsiders, flip flops, or birkenstock sandals, usually paired with light jeans and a flannel shirt wore in some cases with a fleece vest over. When the weather gets warmer the previously stated may be replaced with brightly colored shorts and lacrosse pinnnies. He and his fellow bros are very touchy feely with each other. Most frequently used words in his vocabulary are chill, bro, sick, awww yeahh.
NOTE: He doesn't have a speach impediment, "ski" and "seff" may be added to the end of every other word out of his mouth."

1993 Ford Mustang Interior - In The Hot SeatWritten by on October 1, 2010 Project Fox Starts Looking Like A Street Car Again, As We Reinstall And Rehabilitate The Interior.
Sure, 532 ci goes a long way in shoring up driveability, but can you really call something with a 273/280-at-.050 solid-roller cam a true street car? From the very beginning, we've made no bones about the fact that our 1993 Ford Mustang street/strip car will lean more on the strip side of the formula than the street side. After all, few things are as pathetic as a car that can't figure out if it's a street cruiser or a drag machine, and consequently, drives like junk and lays down miserable e.t.'s. Even so, when the mission at hand is achieving covert speed, scaring off potential challengers with a gutted interior isn't a good thing. Although installing a custom 10-point rollcage required completely removing Project Fox's innards, the resulting austerity was enough to convince us that we had to put it back in. Fortunately, with some careful fat trimming, it's easy to have a full interior while still shedding some weight.
The simple plan called for chucking the portly stock front seats for some lightweight buckets from Procar, installing a set of RCI five-point harnesses, replacing the fuzzy stock gauge cluster with Auto Meter instrumentation, and modifying the stock center console to accommodate a TCI shifter. To maintain as close to stock appearance as possible, the factory carpet, rear seats, dash, and door panels were reused. Likewise, the power door locks and windows were retained. While aluminum seats would have yielded additional weight savings, the prospect of sitting on a slab of metal during the 200-mile round-trip to the track isn't very appealing. Furthermore, we thought that confining all the gauges in the stock location, instead of having an assortment of pods spread throughout the cabin, would lend a far less cluttered look.
Granted, the interior rehab was rather straightforward, but Fox Mustangs aren't Torinos or Chevelles, and have rather cramped interiors. As a result, installing the bulky seats required a fair amount of finagling, and the rollcage and stock door panels occupied a good chunk of the available real estate. Headroom was at a premium as well. The solution was bending up some elaborate door bars while constructing a rollcage that snakes between the seats and the door panels. Custom seat brackets were also fabbed up to position the seats as low in the cabin as possible for maximum headroom. Many thanks again to Bill Buck Race Cars in Austin, Texas, for helping out with the interior rehab.

If you don't have $800 to spend on a set of seats, Procar's buckets are an outstanding value at $156 each. They're offered in both vinyl and fabric upholstery, and can be had with gray, yellow, red, and blue accents. At 28 pounds, they're 10 pounds lighter than the stock Fox Mustang seats.Procar also offers generic sliding seat brackets with its seats, but due to the limited headroom inside the Fox cabin, we decided to fabricate a custom set using two bars of angle iron. Slotted tabs welded to the angle iron anchor the seats to the floorboard, and allow for roughly 2 inches of adjustability. That's not much, so the brackets were measured up with the driver's preferred seating position in mind.NHRA rules require SFI-approved five-point harnesses for cars running 11.99 or quicker in the quarter-mile. With the seats bolted down, the RCI harnesses were snaked into place. The lap belts bolt to the factory seatbelt anchors, while a new hole must be drilled into the floorboard to attach the crotch strap. The RCI belts feature 3-inch webbing all around. Note the kink in the door bars necessary to clear the seat bolsters and door panels.Choosing between a cam lock and a latch-and-link belt fastening system is a matter of personal preference and cost. Cam locks typically cost twice as much as standard latch-style belts. Your results may vary, but from our experience, it can sometimes be difficult to determine if the belts are fully engaged inside a cam lock, which is why we went with a latch-and-lock system.Since nylon degrades and weakens over time, all harnesses must be re-webbed or replaced every two years. To help tech inspectors, SFI-approved harnesses are tagged with the date they were built. Most manufacturers offer services where they will recertify their harnesses for a reasonable fee. A nice perk about the RCI Platinum harnesses used in Project Fox is that the company offers a free one-time recertification after the first two years.Aftermarket harnesses are offered in several different shoulder belt configurations. We opted for V-belts that bolt to a single mounting tab welded to the shoulder bar of the 'cage. Alternately, harnesses are also available with individual shoulder belts that require two mounting tabs. Wraparound-style shoulder belts are still offered, but aren't legal at all tracks.After 17 years of duty, the stock gauges were getting difficult to read no thanks to a fuzzy lens. Fortunately, we found a slick billet plate that fits inside the factory instrument panel, and has room for two 3 3/8-inch, and four 2 1/16-inch gauges. The only part of the factory gauge cluster that needed to be reused was a plastic support ring, so we unscrewed the lens to extract it.The trick MC Machine gauge plate is machined from 3/8-inch-thick billet aluminum, and features backlit cutouts and bulbs for the turn signals, high beam indicator, and warning lights. It's available for Fox Mustangs and Mercury Capris for $150. The plate houses a bevy of Auto Meter Ultra Lite II electric gauges including a speedometer, tach, fuel level meter, voltmeter, oil pressure, and coolant temperature gauges.
The MC Cluster and Auto Meter gauges are secured into place using the stock fasteners and boltholes. The finished product looks racy without being garish. The nice thing about using aftermarket gauges with any engine swap is that they minimize the need to monkey around with the factory wiring harness. The speedometer picks up its signal from an electric sender mounted on the transmission tailshaft, and the coolant temperature and oil pressure gauges use their own senders as well. The tach wires into the MSD ignition box, while the fuel level gauge hooks up to the stock sender.The TCI Thunder Stick shifter is compatible with three- or four-speed GM, Ford, and Mopar automatics. It includes 5 feet of heavy-duty shift cable, and features Park and Neutral safety switches, and a Reverse lockout to meet NHRA requirements. The shift knob is also equipped with a button that can be hooked up to a transbrake or a line lock. Since Project Fox was originally equipped with a five-speed manual, we enlarged the shifter opening, then attached a custom aluminum plate upon which to mount the TCI shifter.

The Fray Concert Tickets
Piano rock on the radio? When The Fray does piano rock, it sounds like nothing but power. This Grammy nominated group has become virtual superstars over night- why? Because The Fray is original and who else can incite intense emotion with a piano, we're thinking Elton John & Billy Joel.
Bumping into each other at a local bookstore in Denver, CO, old school buddies Isaac Slade and Joe King began a two man jam band that expended quickly. The two liked what they heard and added a few more significant players to the mix including drummer Ben Wysocki, guitarist David Welsh and Slades younger brother Caleb who was later asked to leave. The conflict would result in The Fray's first charting single "Over My Head (Cable Car)." The Fray, who have been compared to bands like U2 and 3 Doors Down got their name from a suggestion bowl during a graduation party.
It was local airplay on KTCL radio that increased the band's exposure, when "Over My Head" played on radio waves. After being voted "Best New Band" by a local Denver newspaper, The Fray was signed to Epic Records. Their debut album, How to Save a Life was released in 2005, the title track off of the album has been featured as the theme song on Grey's Anatomy and an epsiode of Scrubs; The single hit the number one spot on US Adult contemporary charts. The Fray tickets would soon go on sale for a The Fray tour with Weezer and then Ben Folds Five (now Ben Folds). To promote How to Save a Life The Fray performed on shows like The Late Show with David Letterman, Rove Live and The Tonight Show.
After a string of The Fray tours, The Fray was nominated for the Grammy Awards Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "How to Save a Life" and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for "Over My Head (Cable Car)" - not bad for thier first album huh? Their most recent self-titled album was released in February, 2009. The single "You Found Me" would find fans scrambling for The Fray concert tickets and now that they're on tour, The fray tickets are becoming harder and harder to find. So pick up your cheap The Fray tickets here and listen to "How to Save a Life" live.

Issuma being a boat, there is, of course, always work to be done. Here, Christina and I are working on getting some of the old rigging wires off.
One of the reasons for taking this route thru the canals was that bringing the masts down was an opportunity to replace a lot of the rigging wires in what seemed an easier way than doing it all by climbing aloft.
How is the 'Sigmar' diesel heater working out? I notice the chimney pipe on the deck.

The purpose of the guard gate is to prevent large amounts of water from being released if there is a break in the canal wall in a long section between locks. The gates are normally up, so boats can pass through.

Comments about Maranda Enterprises Double LADDERBALL:
We used the Double LADDERBALL by Maranda for a neighborhood ladderball tournament. The set worked great. You do have to be careful putting it together since it is still plastic. It would be nice if it had a way to keep score on the ladderball game itself like the Sportcraft model.
We also used the Sportcraft ladderball version as well. By comparison, the Maranda set is much better than Sportcraft's. I think for half the tournament players had to keep untangling the Sportcraft's bolos. The sportcraft set kept coming apart too.
Between the two sets, I would recommend the Maranda set.

Comments about Maranda Enterprises Double LADDERBALL:
We use this product when camping. You can even use one of them inside the house on rainy days or way to hot days. Everyone in the house enjoys this game from 7 to 38 years old. The only thing that I don't like about it is the design for the stablilty. The bars are way to long and get in the way. Don't make the mistake of stepping on one they will break and there is sand inside of them.The price was right but I should have sprung the extra money and got a different one.

Mali: Struggling to deliver aid to rebel-held north

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Mali: Struggling to deliver aid to rebel-held north, 24 September 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5062c89c2.html [accessed 30 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
The advance by African Union troops (AMISOM) on the insurgent-held Somali port city of Kismayo brings into focus a challenge often faced by humanitarian actors in conflict zones: how to help those in need without associating themselves too closely with warring parties, even those which enjoy international backing.
On 19 September, AMISOM Deputy Force Commander Maj-Gen Simon Karanja "appealed to humanitarian agencies to come to the aid of the people fleeing [Kismayo] to areas liberated by AMISOM and Somali security forces," according to an AMISOM statement.
"We stand ready to facilitate any efforts to ease the suffering of the population," Karanja said.
Kismayo is the last major stronghold of the Al-Shabab insurgency.
Humanitarians keeping away
UN Security Council Resolution 1772 mandates AMISOM establish "the necessary security conditions for the provision of humanitarian assistance."
AMISOM has a Humanitarian Affairs Unit which, according to the force's website, works with UN agencies and NGOs "to establish coordination mechanisms and the sharing of information."
Many UN and NGO staff travel in conveys protected by AMISOM vehicles. AMISOM field hospitals, set up to treat its troops, have also served the civilian population.
But many aid workers remain leery of AMISOM and its humanitarian aspirations and have resisted rushing into areas where AMISOM and government forces have dislodged Al-Shabab. Such deployment by UN staff members is dependent on clearance from the UN's Department of Safety and Security.
"The people who live in these regions have had no basic facilities, be it for health, education and water, but since [government and allied forces] have regained control….there have been few aid agencies covering the demand," Mohamed Farah, a government spokesman, told Radio Ergo.
"We are calling again on the international community, international aid agencies and the United Nations to come to rescue these people," he said.
Heads of state from the Inter-Governmental Authority on Development meeting in November 2011 issued a similar plea, to address the needs of "drought and famine-stricken communities in a more effective manner."
Blurring lines
While security considerations may partly explain the unmet demand, humanitarian principles also come into play, according to Tanja Schumer, Focal Point for the Somalia NGO Consortium.
Only if principles such as impartiality are "preserved at all times, and with the support of the local communities, are we able to work and deliver aid effectively. The blurring or perceived blurring of humanitarian and security objectives jeopardizes the delivery of vital assistance to the Somali people," she told IRIN.
"The perception that humanitarian actors are linked to political and/or military agendas, including support for AMISOM, or a stabilization agenda, directly endangers humanitarian staff and supplies, and in so doing further diminishes the capacity of aid agencies to assist a population in extreme need," she said.
Asked about how civilians in Kismayo would be assisted in the event of Al-Shabab's departure from the city, Russell Geekie, a spokesman for the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, also stressed the need for humanitarians to remain "strictly independent of political and security processes."
"In line with humanitarian principles, contingency plans for Kismayo are based on civilians' needs and would be implemented independently of any side's military or political objectives. However, we do engage in regular dialogue with a wide range of actors to help reduce civilian casualties and suffering and to facilitate humanitarian access to those in need," he said.
For one UN staffer, who worked in Somalia in the early 1990s with another organization, "what's important is to keep your ethics - do no harm - but adapt your principles with the reality on the ground."
"If in the name of your principles people die because of your way of operating, maybe it's better to leave and let other people do the job," he said.
But he added, "humanitarians risk being associated with foreign forces attacking Somalia. Al-Shabab can use this, making it harder for them to operate easily. It takes a long time to change such a perception."
Speaking of his earlier experience in Somalia, which entailed dealing with clan-based warlords, he said, "The rationale was: do you want to save lives or not, and what is the price of that? It's an old debate."
A debate that is now "very fraught", according to a UN official in Mogadishu. "Should people be denied assistance because they live in a war zone and are caught up in the politics of it?
"Kismayo brings all the issues to a point, because it's a city, because it's the lifeblood for so many people…If the water and sanitation systems stop working… the rains are about to start soon… There are IDPs [internally displaced people] there… do you ignore them?

Bozeman paramedics make holidays happier for some assisted living residents
Roanne Kundert is excited to spend Thanksgiving with her family.
"My grandchildren will be there, just our happy family days, like we've always had," says Kundert.
She's a resident at Emeritus at Spring Meadows Assisted Living and hasn't been home since Easter, as it's become more difficult for her to move around. Plus, getting in and out of the house is stressful for both her and her family.
But not this Thanksgiving.
Folks with Bozeman's American Medical Response are picking up Roanne and taking her home. They'll also pick her up, all for free.
We followed Roanne to her daughter's home where her family was waiting.
As special as the trip home is for Roanne, it also means a lot to her family.
"Her face lit up. It was just great to see her and some of the aids that were there were saying all morning that's all she could talk about is she's coming out here for Thanksgiving. And how excited she was and it makes you feel good as a child that you can do something like this to make your parents so happy," says Roanne's daughter Kaye Orosz.
Two of her grandchildren were there to give her hugs, one of Roanne's favorite things. Before long, she was sipping coffee and telling stories, while her granddaughter worked on Thanksgiving dinner.
"It's great. Already I hear the laughter and smell the goodies cooking because I've got some good cooks in my family. Maybe they learned it from me. Did you?" Roanne looked at her daughter, stuffing mushrooms by the stove.
Paramedics with AMR say they usually see people at their worst. That's why bringing folks like Roanne home to see their familys is so rewarding.
"It touches our hearts in a real nice way and that joy that we're bringing to the families. This makes us happy," explains AMR paramedic Kevin Lauer.
For Roanne's family, it's certainly a Thanksgiving they'll never forget.
"I don't know how to even thank these guys for doing this. It's so wonderful, what they're doing to make our day special," says Orosz.
Roanne agrees.
"What an experience? This will go in my book, records book of things I've done. I'll just have to find my book first," she says.
American Medical Response will also provide the service Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. For more information, contact AMR at 586-0037.

Financial Updates

Facilities Financing Revenue Increases 26% in FY14
With four of the five revenue sources that support the financing plan for Intercollegiate Athletics facilities showing double-digit growth for the 2014 fiscal year, total proceeds for the 12 months from July 2013 through June 2014 exceeded $29.4 million – a 26.4% increase from FY13.
While income from pledge seat sales declined to $9.9 million, the fact that overall revenues increased significantly shows that the revised, multifaceted approach for financing the facilities, which was updated from the original model in 2012, has helped stabilize the financial model to meet debt service payments for California Memorial Stadium and the Simpson Center for Student-Athlete High Performance.
Reports on Athletics Facilities Financing
For the 2014 fiscal year, premium seat revenue (non-pledge) grew to $885,166 (up 27% compared to FY13), philanthropy and other commercial revenues were over $7.7 million (up 78%), leasing and rental revenues were $540,477 (up 184%), and investment earnings were $10.3 million (up 52%).
As a result, total cash received through June 30, 2014, was $77 million and the balance of the Fund Functioning as an Endowment (FFE), considered a key metric to the financing model, was $63.4 million, or $7.9 million ahead of the forecast base-case scenario. Should the FFE remain on track to meet forecast base-case figures through 2053, it would have a balance of $394.1 million against an outstanding principal balance of $75 million that would be due in 2112.
"With strong growth in new revenue categories, we are beginning to see the expanded model pay off," said John Wilton, Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance. "Although pledge seat sales did not hit the target for FY14, we saw a record amount of cash received. We acknowledge that vulnerabilities do remain, and we will continue to monitor our findings on a quarterly basis and provide a report at the end of each fiscal year. We are also committed to transforming California Memorial Stadium into a multiuse facility that serves academics, athletics, and our broader campus community."
A good example of staff's efforts to increase revenue is reflected in winning the right to host an international soccer match between European powerhouse teams Real Madrid and FC Inter in July that generated significant revenue for the stadium and other campus entities. The game drew a sellout crowd that attracted many fans who would not normally attend events on campus. The Maxwell Field parking structure, currently under construction, will open just after the start of the New Year and will enable Berkeley to host other special events of various sizes.
During FY14, Intercollegiate Athletics also began to receive lease revenue from agreements for the Haas School of Business Innovation Lab and Recreational Sports fitness facility, which both opened early in the fiscal year. There are several additional tenants with long-term leases who are expected to move into the stadium in FY15, including the Center for Executive Education, the College of Engineering and the Goldman School of Public Policy.
The philanthropy and other commercial revenue collected for FY14 includes the annual payment from the 15-year, $18 million field naming rights partnership with Kabam, Inc., which was announced in December 2013.
Total pledge seats sold at the end of the fiscal year in June 2014 was 1,664, down from 1,780 at the end of FY13. When including perk season tickets, premium group tickets, University Club bundle seats and Field Club bundle seats, the total premium full-season equivalents sold at the end of FY14 was 1,941 seats. An additional 73 pledge seats, which were in progress at the fiscal close, were collected by the start of the 2014 football season, raising the pledge seat number to 1,737 seats.
"The current financing model shows its merit given the disappointing pledge seat sales last year," Wilton said. "Although seat sales are a major component, there is much less vulnerability due to multiple sources of income, and thus the ability to generate sufficient revenue to meet debt service payments is less dependent on their success or failure. The probability of future financial challenges is not zero; it can't be. But this more robust model gives us the ability to proactively respond and adjust to changes in circumstances and opportunities. Our staff has done an excellent job and deserves our congratulations."

Fulda : Michelin's recommendations
The striking Baroque core of Fulda, which has a long religious past, can be seen in its palace, belfries, ramps, doors and monumental balustrades. St Boniface, the Apostle of Germany, had a monastery built here from 744. He was massacred by the Frisians ten years later and buried in the monastery. The abbey subsequently became a centre of religious worship, art and scholarship.

Fla. House ready to vote on $74 billion budget
Published: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 12, 2013 at 8:44 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The Florida House is poised to approve a $74 billion budget.
The House is scheduled to give a final vote Friday on its spending plan. The Florida Senate passed its rival budget earlier this week.
Lawmakers have until early May to reach a deal and pass a final state budget. The new budget will cover spending from July 2013 until June 2014.
There are differences between the two budgets. The House, for example, has proposed a six percent tuition hike.
The Senate and House also differ on pay raises for state employees.
The Senate has proposed a three percent across the board raise. But the House is offering a $1,000 a year increase as well as a $400 bonus based on merit.

Staying Well When The Kids Are Sick
by Chris Malone
posted Feb 25 2013 5:05AM
At the office when someone isn't feeling well, we are quick to banish them to home so that we don't catch whatever they have. But when it comes to your family there is little to avoid catching what they being home. So here's some helpful advice on what you can do to ward off the flu season sickness from the experts. I'm sure common sense has taught you most of what covered but there are a couple of things I didn't know about and will certainly begin until the sickness season is over!
-Chris Malone
Practical Defense
The common sense ways of avoiding the spread of germs are well known to most parents, but it doesn't hurt to go over them again. Sometimes, when your child is sick, you're so focused on being a caretaker that you can easily lose sight of these simple ways to avoid becoming ill.
Wash your hands frequently. If you're dealing with a sick child, make sure you wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water after coming into contact with the child. Make sure your hand washing is effective; a quick swish under the water probably won't do the trick. According to The Centers for Disease Control, a 20-second scrub should be enough. A gel hand-sanitizing product also comes in handy. It can kill germs hand-washing may have left behind, or it can be used in a pinch when you can't get to a sink.
Most respiratory illnesses, like the common cold or flu, are spread through the air. When a sick person sneezes or coughs, their germs find their way into the air and can be inhaled by other people. Teach your children to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze. You can also use a spray disinfectant to kill airborne germs.
Don't forget that germs can live on surfaces. Use disinfecting wipes or sprays to attack germs on surfaces your children frequently touch, such as computer keyboards, refrigerator handles and doorknobs.
Kids like to wrap themselves up in their coziest blankets when they're sick and these comforting objects can pick up lots of germs. Wash sick kids' bedding in hot water to make sure they're extra-clean.
Immune Boosters
Even when you follow all the rules for keeping germs at bay, some are bound to make their way into your body. Thankfully, our bodies have an immune system to help fight these germs off and keep them from becoming full-blown illnesses. In healthy people, the immune system does a great job fighting off illness, but it can always use a little extra boost, especially when cold and flu season comes around.
Eating a healthy balanced diet is one important way to keep your immune system strong. This is easier said than done, but it's definitely not impossible. Make sure you're getting adequate protein and other nutrients in your diet. A good-quality multi-vitamin can give your diet some extra help.
Keeping hydrated is another way to keep your body at its best. True, water can taste a bit boring, but you can always jazz it up with some flavoring. Flavored herbal teas work well for this, and they're caffeine free. Another simple and tasty way to flavor water is with lemon juice.
Lemon is a great immune booster because it helps balance your body's supply of healthy bacteria. For sweetness, add some honey or stevia. Stevia is a plant-based natural sweetener that is fairly new on the mainstream market. It's about 300 times sweeter than sugar so a little goes a long way.
Staying fit doesn't just help you look great; it benefits your immune system too. Even during the frosty days of cold and flu season, be sure you make time for some physical activity. Walk around the block, take the stairs at work, or go sledding with the kids
Do your best to maintain good mental health. When you're stressed or anxious, your body can't properly fight off illness. Use relaxation techniques and other stress-management strategies to help keep your mind in a positive place. Seasonal depression can affect the immune system, too, so be sure you're getting enough sunlight. Get outdoors on sunny days and talk to your doctor about treatments for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Natural Remedies
Echinacea is the most popular natural immune-system enhancer available. Many people swear by it, and wouldn't go a winter without it.
Probiotics help maintain a healthy stomach, but they also contribute to the overall health of the body's immune defense. You can take probiotics year-round to keep your body working in top condition.
Occillococcinum is a difficult to pronounce but easy to use homeopathic treatment for flu. It's said to be effective against flu symptoms when taken at the first signs of illness. It has performed well in clinical trials and is available at many national drugstore chains.
There are many natural supplement products that have (or claim to have) immune-boosting potential. Always do some homework before shopping for these products so you get one that's right for you.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has expressed concern that lingering scandals in Albany are causing people to lose faith in the state Legislature. There's one way Cuomo can address that head-on: Make reform a key part of the 2014 agenda when he delivers his State of the State message today.
Cuomo said Monday that trust in the Legislature is eroding because of bad acts by lawmakers. He's right. The latest scandal: Accusations by former aides to Buffalo-area Assemblyman Dennis Gabryszak who say he harassed them so severely that they had to quit. In recent years there have been a number of lawmakers in both the Assembly and the state Senate charged after federal public corruption investigations.
If Cuomo is serious about restoring public trust, he should use his office's extensive powers to push reforms. That can begin with campaign finance laws that have not seen any major changes since the 1970s and do little more than empower incumbents and discourage challengers.
As for ethics, though laws have been made, they are essentially useless, especially with oversight by a board (the so-called Joint Commission on Public Integrity) that falls short of transparency or accountability.
Call for reforms, governor, and you might restore some public trust.
