ATLANTA -- No doubt, the job market has been rough for adults. But it's even worse for teenagers competing with experienced, unemployed professionals for temporary jobs. This summer, the government is giving Georgia teens a leg up.
The state will spend $200 million in federal stimulus dollars to employ 15,000 teens and 5,000 adults. Employers who hire these workers will be reimbursed 100 percent of teen wages and 80 percent of adult salaries.
"We have a unique opportunity to put Georgians back to work, reinvigorate Georgia businesses and spark an economic recovery across our state," Georgia Department of Human Services Commissioner said in a statement. GDHS is managing the program.
Job applicants must have household incomes at or below three times the federal poverty level. That would be about $55,000 for a family of three and $66,000 for a family of four, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Resources.
Teens must be between 14 and 18 years old. The teen program runs June 1 to July 31. Applications are due Friday, April 16. For details, visit Georgia Teen Work.
Adults must have at least one dependent child. The adult program runs through September 30. There is no current application deadline. For more information, visit Jobs for Georgia.
Employers who've previously participated in this program include Chick-fil-A, Target and MARTA.

I'm really not sure where DailyKOS expects to go with this petition but I'd LOVE to see how many signatures they get. It would be very telling traffic-wise to know numbers on this one. Anyway, this pop up greeted me today as I went over to peruse the opposition.

Lansing police are trying to determine the cause of death for a body that was found in the Red Cedar River this morning.
Capt. Daryl Green says a jogger told police that he thought he saw a body in the river in the area of River and Spring streets.
The body recovered the body at about 2:30 p.m.
It has been turned over to the medical examiner's office for forensic testing.
Capt. Green says it's too early to tell how long the body has been in the river.
He says the identity, race and gender of the body also have not been determined.
However, a police officer at the scene told our staff that he thought it was a black male.
It's also unknown whether any foul play is involved.
Anyone with information should call Lansing Police at 483-4600.

New jobs and extra money for farmers per bushel of corn are in store for people living in and around Rochelle. A private group of farmers are coming together and investing in a $68 million ethanol facility.
The facility will only take a year to construct and economic developers in Rochelle say it's just one more project that will add to the growing industrial and transpiration facilities south of Rockford.
The plant will add 30 new jobs and save farmers in the area 3-15 cents per bushel of corn in shipment fees.
The rising demand for cleaner fuel has helped sparked the project. Economic development director Ken Wise says Rochelle is one of the best locations for the ethanol facility.
Major highways like I-88 and I-39, as well as access to Union Pacific and the Burlington Northern senate railroads are nearby. Before construction on the ethanol plant begins land will have to be annexed into the city of Rochelle, then rezoned from agriculture to industrial. It will cost the city around $3 million to run sewer, water and electric to the property.
The good news, taxes aren't expected to go up in Rochelle; in fact, depending on the success of the plant they may go down.

Blaskowsky Impacts Success On and Off The Court
AMES, Iowa – Sometimes in athletics a player comes along that brings much more to the team than what is seen on gameday.
That is precisely what freshman Kidd Blaskowsky did for Iowa State this season.
Sure the 5-7 guard performed admirably when called upon, averaging 6.6 points and scoring in double figures seven times, including five in Big 12 play.
But it might have been her fun-loving, high-energy personality that made the biggest impact on the team in her first season.
Not one to shy away from diving for a loose ball, Blaskowsky was the energy. She was quick with a fist pump after a big three-pointer. She gives high fives after a teammate's big play and is the jokester in the locker room.
In head coach Bill Fennelly's mind, Blaskowsky added a dimension that impacted the team as much as almost any basket she made.
"Kidd was a tremendous addition to our team," Fennelly said. "She has an amazing passion for life, her teammates and the game of basketball. The spirit and mood of our team was dramatically impacted by Kidd and that is almost unheard of in a freshman."
Blaskowsky had her big moments on the court. She ripped the nets for 27 points on eight 3-pointers against Air Force. She hit another five threes and scored 17 points in a January home win against Oklahoma.
A month later, Blaskowsky scored 11 second-half points as ISU beat Oklahoma for a second time.
"Kidd made some big plays for us in big games," Fennelly said . "She is a hard worker and if she continues to show that kind of energy and effort I think she will become a real fan favorite."
Blaskowsky's improvement from the start of the season to the end was impressive. The Sugar Land, Texas native was forced into a role of backup point guard, a position she was mostly unfamiliar with prior to arriving at Iowa State. With the Cyclones playing a rotation that consisted of six players much of the season, Blaskowsky was merely an extension of the starting five in Fennelly's mind.
Her improvement can be traced to her determination. In a late season meeting with the media, Fennelly recalled a moment earlier in the season following a road loss to Iowa that saw Blaskowsky go 0-for-8 from behind the arc. Before the bus had even left Carver-Hawkeye Arena, Blaskowsky tapped out a text message to associate head coach Jodi Steyer.
I'm tired of hurting my team.
Prior to Blaskowsky hitting send on that text message she was shooting 17.1 percent from behind the arc. In the 27 games that followed, Blaskowsky responded by shooting 37.5 percent from long range.
You can learn a lot about a person after a loss.
It was six simple words. Six words that said a lot about her as a teammate.

SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WUSA9) -- "There is a crisis of confidence," said State Senator Mark Obenshain about the gift scandal plaguing the Governor's office.
The candidates vying for Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's job reacted to the gift scandal and Cuccinelli's call for a special session.
Senator Mark Obenshain, who is running for Attorney General, made it clear when asked several questions that he would not put himself in the same predicament as Cuccinelli. The GOP Gubernatorial candidate is under pressure to return the cost of $18,000 in gifts he received from Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams.
"I think we need to adopt a new law imposing a $100 cap on gifts to elected officials and to members of their household. And, whether it's passed or not, if I'm elected Attorney General that will be the rule in my office," said Obenshain.
Cuccinelli has said that he cannot return the gifts, which include trips and a turkey dinner because they are gone. State Senator Mark Herring, the democrat running for Attorney General says Cuccinelli needs to do it.
"Ken Cuccinelli is just making excuses by saying this is some kind of bell that can't be unrung. We know what the fair market value of the gift he failed to disclose and he needs to return them. The public trust is too important," said Herring.
What if Cuccinelli can't afford to pay back $18,000?
"Then he needs to tighten his belt. And return the gifts. That's the right thing to do," said Herring.
Cuccinelli is asking Governor Bob McDonnell to call a special session now to address ethics and a new disclosure laws. The Governor has rejected the idea.
Here's Cuccinelli's response on his website:
"I am disappointed that Governor McDonnell and some others in state government do not support my call for a special session. I'm disappointed because I believe Virginians want solutions right now, not sometime down the road. The citizens of Virginia would appreciate our responsiveness to their concerns related to trust in their own state government. If we act successfully now, I'm confident that Virginians will ultimately react favorably; because they will be able to conclude 'wow, I had a real concern with trust in my own state government, and they all got together to not only fix the problem, but to do it quickly. That's not what I'm used to from government.'
"I'm not calling for it, that wasn't my statement yesterday," said Obenshain.
"I think it takes a lot of moxie for someone like Ken Cuccinelli to call for a special session," said Herring.
Herring says the general assembly should wait for the conclusion of the federal investigation into Governor McDonnell's acceptance of more than $200,000 in loans and gifts from Jonnie Williams.
The Governor has apologized and announced that he has repaid the loans and given back the gifts.

Hello All,
First of all, allow me to congratulate everyone involved in this project. Have recently migrated a network of 40 users to zimbra from exchange, for our NGO, I must say am really impressed with the performace and versatility and easy of installation of the product, qualities which are not normally synonymous with linux stuff, especially when it comes to ease of deployment.
My setup works great, and it has been doing so for the last 10 days now, and so I decided that some form of backup was necessary. My idea was to have a replica zimbra server, which would sync with the main server every 24 hours, in case of a major disaster, all that has to be done is update dns pointers, and 2 firewall rules.
I installed the 2nd server, and threw together a script from bits and pieces I found on the web to first export the ldap directory and then export mailboxes in tar.gz
the mailboxes part works great (if I re-create the users on the second machine manually)
/opt/zimbra/bin/zmmailbox -z -m firstname.lastname@example.com "//?fmt=zip&resolve=reset" "/email@example.com"
but if I export ldap contacts on "master" : /opt/zimbra/libexec/zmslapcat /mnt/backup_on_secondary_server/ldap_accounts
and import on the "slave" :
/opt/zimbra/openldap/sbin/slapadd -q -b "" -F /opt/zimbra/data/ldap/config -cv -l /backup/ldap_accounts/ldap.bak
the import appears to be succesful, it even throws errors for the users are already present, however, from that point onwards, the installation breaks down, I am unable to login to any mailbox (on the seconday server) or to restore any mailbox.
If I try to restore the mailboxes (using the command above) infact I get the following error :-
ERROR: service.TOO_MANY_HOPS (mountpoint or proxy loop detected)
https://server:7071 brings up the login screen but as soon as you enter the credentials the screen will freeze on loading
/var/log does not seem to contain anything useful.
The problem is apparently with ldap, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I am running Zimbra (7.2.0_GA_2669_CentOS6_64)
Thanks in advance

1957 Mercury M-100 - Analog MercuryWritten by on September 5, 2012 Gilles Dupras' 1957 Mercury M-100
When I met Gilles Dupras, I was cruising the Back to the 50's car show in a five-window pickup owned by Tim Tullo of Fatman Fabrications. I just happened to look to my left and spotted a Gilles' '57 Mercury sitting amongst the crowd of vehicles, and luckily for me he was sitting right next to it. I motioned Gilles to come over to the five-window and handed him a business card. I asked him to give me a call in a few hours so I could take some photos of the pickup. He stated he didn't have a cell phone or email, but he would call when he arrived back at his hotel. We were able to meet up the next day where I photographed the truck and got to know a little bit more about the project.
In 2003 after selling a 1957 F-100 4x4 truck that he'd had for a number of years, Gilles happened to be looking at the local Buy & Sell paper at work and came across an ad for a '57 Mercury short box, so he gave the guy a call.
After talking to the owner, it sounded like a good deal, so Gilles talked him into letting him see it that same night. He insisted on going to see it right after work because the owner had planned to show it to other callers that Saturday and Gilles wanted to beat them to it.
It had 78,000 original miles and had been sitting in a farm field since the '70s, untouched. The truck was complete, including the original owner's manual. It had rust, but it was in the usual spots (the cab corners, the front fenders, the body mounts) and had a brushed-on baby blue paintjob. After talking to the guy, he convinced him to sell it to him rather than those he was planning to show it to later that week. A deal was made and they both agreed on $800.
After plenty of contemplation, Gilles decided to paint the truck flat rather than the traditional glossy paintjob. The funny thing about this paintjob is that the paint only cost about $300. Gilles painted the truck himself. This $300 paintjob gets plenty more attention than he ever would have thought. Each year at Back to the 50's and local car shows, Gilles gets more comments about his cheap paintjob than some of the thousand-dollar paintjobs he sees on other cars. Funny how, in this case, cheaper paint got more attention!
Mercury trucks were never manufactured in the US. "Every year when I go down to Back to the 50's, I get plenty of comments from people, not only about how they didn't realize that Mercury made trucks, but I also hear plenty of comments about how people think that I made the "Mercury 100" badges myself and that the truck was a fake. My kids have told me time and time again to make a sign to prove to people that the truck is, in fact, a real Mercury pickup."

We are contemplating deploying the latest ZCS network edition, however i am abit nervous going this way after reading some articles with user issues/bugs etc..
From what we have seen so far ZCS ticks all our boxes, however I do not want to forge ahead and deploy this (seemingly good) platform and be inundated with support issues (x does not work, y isn't doing what we want it to).
What is the consensus amongst the more seasoned administrators as to how solid this platform really is? which version is going to give us usability and stability ?
We also want to use the outlook connector and proably the zDesktop. With a view to supporting mobile devices using imap.
Thanks in advance.

You live your life fully and richly, and you've got countless stories of adventure, pleasure, hardship, and perseverance upon which to reflect. Memories and wisdom aren't the only souvenirs of years of deep living, though: You'll also have picked up any number of cosmetic keepsakes, from sprays of crow's-feet around your eyes to hair that's not quite as thick and robust as it used to be. If you want a little revitalization to go along with your war stories, check out the Billy Jealousy Treatments line.
With Billy Jealousy Treatments, you've got easy-to-use products designed to minimize the appearance of aging signs and symptoms.

Nothing "cures" the aging process, but you don't have to feel depressed or disheartened by its natural function. With the Billy Jealousy Treatments, you can address some of the less desirable aspects while bringing out the kind of natural and timeless energy that comes with feeling and looking your best.
The Billy Jealousy Hair Raiser Follicle Revitalizer is there for you if you, like so many men, are worrying about thinning locks. Instead of resorting to awkward-looking comb-overs (which, more often that not, have the distinct ability to draw more attention to a balding head than anything else), you can employ the Billy Jealousy Hair Raiser Follicle Revitalizer to thicken and fortify your stands, bringing to your follicles essential nutrients and stimulating blood flow to your scalp. This treatment also wards against the formation on your hair-producing cells of Dihydrotestoterone, which has been implicated in hair loss in men. Clinical studies have shown that, after 120 days of continued use of the Billy Jealousy Hair Raiser Follicle Revitalizer, most men experienced some hair regrowth (though that won't occur if the hair follicles have been dead for more than a decade).

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am pleased that the Commission is now turning its focus to the nexus of energy and democracy. As the States of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) pursue energy security, we must address why it is that so many of the resource-rich countries in the world are not democratic and whether development of both democracy and energy resources is an incompatible goal.
In the search for energy security in the OSCE region and beyond, democracy is an important contributing factor. Endemic corruption is an impediment to democracy. Last year the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly adopted a resolution I authored on limiting immunity for parliamentarians in order to strengthen good governance, public integrity and the rule of law in the OSCE region. Just recently Chairman Hastings and I met with the President of Ukraine who told us that this was one of the first things he would like to see accomplished once a new parliament is elected this September. This is an important step forward for Ukraine.
Broad immunity for parliamentarians can serve as a cover for corruption. I believe that good governance is the key to a properly functioning democracy. In many of the oil-exporting states, corruption and kleptocracy have become the norm and prevent democratic ideals from flourishing. The United States must consider the impact of its dependence on these types of states for energy security.
Countries that are mired in corruption are not reliable sources of energy. According to Transparency International, six of the top ten oil-exporting countries to the United States are among the most corrupt countries in the world. A lack of transparency within governments and the energy sector poses both a threat to energy exports and the ability of governments to properly manage revenue for their citizens. These governments are not accountable to their citizens and have taken advantage of the resources of the nation in pursuit of the self-interest of a few corrupt leaders. The result has been increasing political instability, and in some cases violent attacks on pipelines and refineries.
Not only does political instability threaten the physical ability to export oil and gas, but it also has created a poor investment climate. If we are to support development of energy resources, U.S. policy should certainly take into account the investment incentives in these countries. Corruption not only weakens those incentives, but also prevents those investments from producing real results in terms of security of supply. There is clearly a positive link between development of democracy and development of energy resources, which can be seen in some of the recent improvements to both in countries such as Azerbaijan. Additional steps are absolutely necessary to increase transparency in oil-exporting governments, but initiatives such as the "Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative," and "Publish What You Pay," are moves in the right direction and need U.S. support.
In order to achieve energy security, not only must we work towards our own energy independence, for which I have introduced legislation, but we must also ensure that the countries from which we import oil and gas are reliable sources. Combating corruption and increasing transparency are part of the process of democratic development and must be supported by U.S. policy if we are to attain long term energy security.


text: Meet the men who spy on women through their webcams Technology 11 March 13 by Nate Anderson "See! That shit keeps popping up on my fucking computer!" says a blond woman as she leans back on a couch, bottle-feeding a baby on her lap.The woman is visible from thousands of kilometres away on a hacker's computer. The hacker has infected her machine with a remote administration tool (RAT) that gives him access to the woman's screen, to her webcam, to her files, to her microphone. He watches her and the baby through a small control window open on his Windows PC, then he decides to have a little fun. He enters a series of shock and pornographic websites and watches them appear on the woman's computer.The woman is startled. "Did it scare you?" she asks someone off camera. A young man steps into the webcam frame. "Yes," he says. Both stare at the computer in horrified fascination. A picture of old naked men appears in their Web browser, then vanishes as a McAfee security product blocks a "dangerous site.""I think someone hacked into our computer," says the young man.Far away, the hacker opens his "Fun Manager" control panel, which provides a host of tools for messing with his RAT victims. He can hide their Windows "Start" button or the taskbar or the clock or the desktop, badly confusing many casual Windows users. He can have their computer speak to them. Instead, he settles for popping open the remote computer's optical drive.Even over the webcam, the sound of shock is clear. "Stay right here," says the woman."Whoa... the DVD thing just opened," says the young man.The hacker sends the pair a message that reads "achoo!" and the young man laughs in astonishment. "Disconnect from the Internet," he says. "Your laptop's going to go kaboom next."The video freezes, the mayhem lasting for slightly more than one minute. Copies of the incident aren't hard to find. They're on YouTube, along with thousands of other videos showing RAT controller (or "ratters," as they will be called here) taunting, pranking, or toying with victims. But, of course, the kinds of people who watch others through their own webcams aren't likely to limit themselves to these sorts of mere hijinks -- not when computers store and webcams record far more intimate material."i enjoy messing with my girl slaves" "Man I feel dirty looking at these pics," wrote one forum poster at Hack Forums, one of the top "aboveground" hacking discussion sites on the internet (it now has more than 23 million total posts). The poster was referencing a 134+ page thread filled with the images of female "slaves" surreptitiously snapped by hackers using the women's own webcams. "Poor people think they are alone in their private homes, but have no idea they are the laughing stock on HackForums," he continued. "It would be funny if one of these slaves venture into learning how to hack and comes across this thread."Whether this would in fact be "funny" is unlikely. RAT operators have nearly complete control over the computers they infect; they can (and do) browse people's private pictures in search of erotic images to share with each other online. They even have strategies for watching where women store the photos most likely to be compromising."I just use the file manager feature of my RAT in whatever one im using and in [a RAT called] cybergate I use the search feature to find those jpgs that are 'hidden' unless u dig and dig and dig," wrote one poster. "A lot of times the slave will download pics from their phone or digital camera and I watch on the remote desktop to see where they save em to and that's usually where you'll find the jackpot!"Women who have this done to them, especially when the spying escalates into blackmail, report feeling paranoia. One woman targeted by the California "sextortionist" Luis Mijangos wouldn't leave her dorm room for a week after Mijangos turned her laptop into a sophisticated bugging device. Mijangos began taunting her with information gleaned from offline conversations. For many ratters, though, the spying remains little more than a game. It might be an odd hobby, but it's apparently no big deal to invade someone's machine, rifle through the personal files, and watch them silently from behind their own screens. "Most of my slaves are boring," wrote one aspiring ratter. "Wish I could get some more girls with webcams. It makes it more exciting when you can literally spy on someone. Even if they aren't getting undressed!"One poster said he had already archived 200GB of webcam material from his slaves. "Mostly I pick up the best bits (funny parts, the 'good' [sexual] stuff) and categorise them (name, address, passwords etc.), just for funsake," he wrote. "For me I don't have the feeling of doing something perverted, it's more or less a game, cat and mouse game, with all the bonuses included. The weirdest thing is, when I see the person you've been spying on in real life, I've had that a couple of times, it just makes me giggle, especially if it's someone with an uber-weird-nasty habit."By finding their way to forums filled with other ratters, these men -- and they appear to be almost exclusively men -- gain community validation for their actions. "lol I have some good news for u guys we will all die sometime, really glad to know that there are other people like me who do this shit," one poster wrote. "Always thought it was some kind of wierd sick fetish because i enjoy messing with my girl slaves."As another poster put it in a thread called ☆ ShowCase ☆ Girl Slaves On Your RAT, "We are all going to hell for this..." But he followed it with a smiley face.Welcome to the weird world of the ratters. They operate quite openly online, sharing the best techniques for picking up new female slaves (and avoiding that most unwanted of creatures, "old perverted men") in public forums. Even when their activities trip a victim's webcam light and the unsettled victim reaches forward to put a piece of tape over the webcam, the basic attitude is humorous -- Ha! You got us! On to the next slave!And there are plenty of slaves.How it's done RAT tools aren't new; the hacker group Cult of the Dead Cow famously released an early one called BackOrifice at the Defcon hacker convention in 1998. The lead author, who went by the alias Sir Dystic, called BackOrifice a tool designed for "remote tech support aid and employee monitoring and administering [of a Windows network]." But the Cult of the Dead Cow press release made clear that BackOrifice was meant to expose "Microsoft's Swiss cheese approach to security." Compared to today's tools, BackOrifice was primitive. It could handle the basics, though: logging keystrokes, restarting the target machine, transferring files between computers, and snapping screenshots of the target computer.Today, a cottage industry exists to build sophisticated RAT tools with names like DarkComet and BlackShades and to install and administer them on dozens or even hundreds of remote computers. When anti-malware vendors began to detect and clean these programs from infected computers, the RAT community built "crypters" to disguise the target code further. Today, serious ratters seek software that is currently "FUD" -- fully undetectable.Building an army of slaves isn't particularly complicated; ratters simply need to trick their targets into running a file. This is commonly done by seeding file-sharing networks with infected files and naming them after popular songs or movies, or through even more creative methods. "I seem to get a lot of female slaves by spreading Sims 3with a [RAT] server on torrent sites," wrote one poster. Another turned to social media, where "I've been able to message random hot girls on facebook (0 mutual friends) and infect (usually become friends with them too); with the right words anything is possible."For those who can't even manage this on their own, RAT experts hawk their slave-infecting expertise in e-books such as Rusty_v's Spreading Guide v 7.0, a 22-page tome that goes for $14.95 (£10.05) and which claims to be the best-selling book on Hack Forums. "Ever faced a situation where you have FUD server but cannot get victims?" goes the sales pitch. "Or maybe you're getting a lot less installs compared to the amount of work you are putting in?" Followers of Rusty_v's methods are told they can pick up 500-3,000 slaves per day. The book is "noob friendly" and features "many screenshots."And if even this handholding isn't enough, more successful ratters sometimes rent out slaves they have already infected. In other cases, they simply hand them off to others in a "Free Girl Slave Giveaway."Calling most of these guys "hackers" does a real disservice to hackers everywhere; only minimal technical skill is now required to deploy a RAT and acquire slaves. Once infected, all the common RAT software provides a control panel view in which one can see all current slaves, their locations, and the status of their machines. With a few clicks, the operator can start watching the screen or webcam of any slave currently online.The process is now simple enough that some ratters engage in it without knowing how RATs really work or even how vulnerable they are to being caught. Back in 2010, one Hack Forums member entered the RAT subforum worried about going to jail. He had hacked a Danish family's computer in order to get a child's Steam account credentials, but the Danish kid realised that something was wrong and called in his mother and older brother. The hacker included a picture of all three of them looking down at the computer, the younger kid crying, the mother stern."They told me they would call the cops, etc and im going to jail?!" said the hacker. "WHAT DO I DO!? DO I GIVE THEM THE SHIT BACK OR UNINSTALL THEM FROM MY RAT!?"Then, a few minutes later, when the hacker saw the mother with a phone in her hand, he returned to say, "im shaking irl [in real life]... I hope I won't get caught... hes mom & dad was at the phone calling the cops, while him & his brother was MAD crying, i already laughed for 30mins+ until it got serious about his mom & dad.""LOL, don't worry you ain't going to jail," another member responded. This is probably true; few such ratters are ever found. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

Cyclone Divers Prepare for the Iowa Invitational
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State divers begin a three-day competition on Friday, Dec. 6 as they travel to Iowa City, Iowa for the Iowa Invitational. In addition to the Hawkeyes, ISU will be competing against divers from Boise State, Denver, Milwaukee, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Washington State.
With five dual meets on the season, this weekend's action marks the first invitational for the Cyclone divers. The squad has been altering their practice routines to include longer workouts and more repetition to prepare for the event, according to team veterans Jessica Henderson and Elyse Brouillette.
Henderson, who has been hampered early in the season due to a quadriceps injury, feels that she is back to 100-percent and says she is ready to compete.
"I have been limited at the beginning of the year in practices, but I feel like I'm doing well," Henderson said. "I don't have any reason not to do well. I just want to make it to finals and get some points for Iowa State."
While her senior teammate looks to be a force on the board this weekend, Brouillette has set the bar high for herself, as well. During the TCU dual meet at home, Brouillette set a personal best on the 3-meter board with a score of 329.4, just 9.07 points behind the Iowa State school record held by six-time All-Big 12 honoree Tien Tran.
While the returning Iowa State most valuable diver has proven her ability in the diving well, Brouillette claims she still has to fight off some nerves when she climbs the ladder.
"I am a little nervous because I have never had a board quite that successful," Brouillette said. "It is a little bit a battle because there are always those self-doubts in the back of your mind, but I think that I am ready for it. I have found a routine at meets, I've found what works for me, and I think that it will be a good meet."
The Iowa Invitational will be the first time the Iowa State divers have competed in nearly a month, including a holiday break. While the long layoff has the potential to set the Cyclones back, Henderson claims that time away from the pool might prove beneficial.
"The break can either be an advantage or a disadvantage; it just depends on how you look at it," Henderson said. "When people come back from a break, they can actually dive better."
Freshman divers Rebecca Stochl and Julie Dickinson will have the opportunity to compete in a collegiate level invitational style meet for the first time in their careers. While it will be an eye opening experience for them, according to Brouillette, she feels that the Cyclone newcomers are ready for this weekend's competition.
The doors of the University Aquatic Center of Iowa City open at 7:00 p.m. on Friday morning, and final competition for the evening begins at 6:00 p.m. Prelims and finals for the women's 1-meter event will be held on Friday.

Good pump
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Like this pump a lot, but like any micro pump it doesn't get anywhere near the 165 psi it says it will. You'll be able to get 60-80 psi into your tires and limp home. Nice to have a backup if your C02 cartridge fails somehow or you get two flats in a ride.
Great System
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have been very happy with the pump that comes with this setup. It pumps quickly and is small enough that it stays out of my way. I really like how it can be mounted under the waterbottle cage, keeping everything very accessable. It also comes with a small rubber gasket that goes around the pump to keep it from vibrating against the frame which was a nice touch. All in all I am very happy with this purchase.
Great Pump. I would definitely recommend
I really like the other version of this pump, the pressure drive and like others, I have been on a ride and then realized I needed to tighten the removable stem. I happen to have a spoke tool on my multi-tool and it works fairly well. I have now made sure that I don't have any of those types of tubes. Riding for a handful of years recreationally, I am kind of curious why the stem is removable in the first place...it's not like you're going to need to replace it. Maybe I'm missing something but the removable and replaceable stem seems completely useless and only apparent when using a screw on style pump.
I see now they have this road drive CFH and I think I'll opt for this one next time and see if there's any difference in the pump since it'll go up to 160psi according to the specs.
Presta valves have removable cores so that Valve Extenders can be used to lengthen the valve stem (36mm, 48mm, or 60mm) to clear the rims and fairings on deep section carbon wheels. You remove the core, screw on the extender, and the screw the core back into the now longer stem.
Lezyne CFH
Lezyne CFH pump in use
P.O.S. Looks cool, works horribly.
Lezyne might have their marketing dialed, they might have Cavendish to promote their products, but my experience so far with all their product is less than satisfying. I've been around bikes my whole life, have used dozens of pumps and the Road Drive CFH straight up sucks. I bought one for my wife because the hose makes it easy to NOT break valve stemsbut 9 times out of 10 when you attempt to unscrew the hose from the Presta valve it unscrews the valve core letting all the air out of your tire. My wife had tons of issues with this, one on the side of the road. I figured it was her, so I tried to use the Road Drive again & again. It pulled the valve core every time! If you screw it on enough to get air in the tire it pulls the valve core, if you don't screw it all the way on it doesn't get air into the tire. It may look great but it's worthless.
There have been several claims of removing valve cores from individuals over the years. There are essentially two was to combat this. One is to tighten the valve cores before using the tubes. This can easily be done prior to your ride using a pair of pliers. This procedure can become like any pre-ride inspection just like checking your other essentials. This quick step can ensure that you will not loose air along the way, and when you do have the unfortunate event of a flat tire the tube can be patched or replaced with relative ease. The other way to combat the issue is to purchase tubes with a one piece valve stem/core, but that is not always an option in a pinch. The Road Drive CFH was designed to be a versatile essential to any ride combining the ease of CO2 with the reliability of our award winning Road Drive pump. All Lezyne products are built with the cyclist in mind as we at Lezyne are all cyclists... We use and abuse all of the products we design prior to release to the public.
In response to your advice about tightening the valve core, that's great, but unfortunately I don't carry as set of needle-nose pliers with me on my rides. Secondly, when I help out a fellow cyclist on the side of the road by attempting to add air to their tires, and end up pulling the valve core on their tube because THEY also don't carry pliers with them it's really frustrating. SO, I stand corrected, IF YOU BUY THIS PUMP MAKE SURE YOU ALSO PURCHASE A SET OF PLIERS TO CARRY WITH YOU ON EVERY RIDE BECAUSE INEVITABLY YOU WILL COME ACROSS A VALVE CORE THAT ISN'T COMPLETELY TIGHT... OR YOU COULD JUST BUY A BLACKBURN PUMP.
Also, if "there have been several claims of removing valve cores from individuals over the years," maybe Lezyne should fix the problem? Just a thought.
It's interesting that chaz is indicated as a current employee of realcyclist.com. Do all your employees tag the products you sell as "P.O.S."? How classy.
I do not own this particular pump, but I have the Lezyne Pressure Drive and the Classic floor pump, both using the same screw-on connector as this one. I've used these two pumps on seven bikes and a variety of tubes over the past two years. I've unscrewed a valve core exactly once. I've also used a Blackburn as chaz recommends, and I can't count the number of times I've bent a valve stem or ripped a hole in the tube due to torquing the pump directly against the stem, rendering the tube unrepairable. So which shall we blame? The pump or the POS tube? In the ONE case where I unscrewed a valve core, I blame the POS tube for not properly installing their core. It was easily fixed by tightening. In the many cases where I've ripped the valve from the tube, I blame the POS design of a clamp-on pump where you are forced to torque against the valve to achieve rideable PSI. Opinions vary. I think this review by chaz is unwarranted.
The better solution is to use Michelin or Vittoria tubes with non-removable value cores! The Vittoria tubes are about the best on the market. The Michelin A1 Airstop Tube holds air the longest. Now you can leave your pliers at home. BTW broken value stems often result from having too long of a value stem in the first place. Pick a shorter length stem to avoid this problem.
i too have had valve stems come out....easy fix use the the brass schrader adapter, works way better no air loss when unscrewing the hose, should have one on bike for gas station fills anyway...
You might have over-tightened the hose onto the valve stem and permanently smashed or cut the little red "O" ring to the point where it no longer functions properly. Replace the "O" ring, and your pulling-cores problem should go away.
Many of my training partners ride with Lezyne pumps, and we never have problems pulling cores. I personally ride with just the hose (purchased as a replacement part, sans pump) and some CO2 cartridges. It works great.
I bought a Pressure Drive CFH pump for my 12 year old Boy Scout so he could pass his Cycling Merit Badge. He was able to inflate the tires on his Trek to 110 psi by himself using both the pump, and the CO2, both without pulling cores. Did I mention he is twelve?

She was the first joint anything that Husband and I had.
She chose us, the only pup in her large litter to cross the room the moment the gate was opened, climb into my lap without hesitation, curl up, and go to sleep, as if to say, "You are my person. End of story."
She died quietly, her head in my lap, her recently sad eyes no longer suffering. Where we buried her, we will plant a lilac so that we can always remember her with a smile when that glorious scent wafts across the yard in the springtime.

By Jessie Halladay | The Courier-Journal
As a kindergartner, Janet Board's grandson kicked chairs, broke pencils, threw things.
His family didn't fully understand his behavior, which they now know stems from Asberger's syndrome and other disorders. But they're convinced school employees didn't help by carrying him when he refused to come in from the playground, pinning him to the floor when he was uncooperative or putting him in a utility closet transformed into a time-out room.
"It's just so detrimental," Board said of the tactics used in her grandson's Meade County public school. "I don't like what he went through, and it was unnecessary."
Meade County Superintendent Mitch Crump said he was not familiar with the case of Board's grandson, but that staff members receive training in restraint tactics and are required to document each incident of restraint or seclusion.
Board said once the Department of Protection and Advocacy intervened, the school district worked with her family to try to improve the conditions. She said her grandson is now 12, doing well in school and teachers work better with him.
While there is no Kentucky law governing how schools use restraint or seclusion, more efforts are being made to guide schools on properly using restraint and seclusion tactics with seemingly uncontrollable or difficult to manage children.
The state Department of Education, for example, is proposing administrative regulations creating guidelines for the use of restraint and seclusion in schools, as well as requirements for training teachers on de-escalating and other techniques, and practices for informing parents.
The regulations would allow physical restraint of students only when the child's behavior poses imminent danger of serious physical harm.
"The only intervention the proposed (Kentucky) regulations prohibit are those types of restraints that have been proven to kill children," said Lucy Heskins, attorney for the Kentucky Department of Protection and Advocacy. "The regulation does not prevent teachers from breaking up fights or intervening with students who are misbehaving or destroying school property."
The Kentucky Department of Protection and Advocacy late last month issued a booklet aimed at educating the public about restraint and seclusion in schools. The booklet documents cases from around Kentucky where children were harmed, as well as places where restraint tactics have been used properly and successfully.
Marsha Hockensmith, director of the Department of Protection and Advocacy, said the booklet is meant to illustrate the need for strict guidelines on using restraint and seclusion.
In the past five years, the department has gotten more than 100 complaints regarding the use of restraint and seclusion in public schools in 63 counties. The department has investigated more than 80 cases of injuries allegedly caused by those restraints or seclusion.
No Kentucky deaths have been documented and Congress' Government Accountability Office in May 2009 reported at least 20 child deaths as a result of restraint and seclusion.
The regulation's next step is consideration by a legislative subcommittee, expected sometime in the coming weeks.
Support has not been universal for the proposed new rules.
Wilson Sears, executive director of the Kentucky Association of School Superintendents, said many school officials and teachers fear that strict language spelling out the "imminent danger of serious physical harm" is too restrictive.
"What we fear is that staff members will be very reluctant to step in and use any restraint," he said, adding teachers will worry about being second-guessed about the seriousness of the incident. "We think this will ultimately create conditions in schools that are more dangerous."
Sears agreed that training and some guidelines about when restraint or seclusion can be used is needed, but he argues it should not be so specific.
"There are times in schools when restraint is necessary," he said.
But in the absence of any state laws on the the tactics, Katie Bentley, whose son, Will, was routinely restrained and secluded during his 21/2 years in preschool, said parents have little to lean on when they feel their children are being treated inappropriately in classrooms.
Bentley said the tactics worsened Will's seizure disorder and prompted an anxiety disorder. But because Will did not speak until nearing the end of pre-school, he could not tell his parents what was happening.
Once Will began to talk, Bentley said, he told her that hadn't been allowed to go outside with the other children. She started asking him questions and learned he often was separated from the others. She said Will has learning disabilities that make it hard for him to complete certain tasks, and the seclusion and restraint were used by his teacher as an attempt to motivate him to move faster or perform better.
"I'm appalled that we don't have" regulations, Bentley said. "If we'd have had a guideline, Will wouldn't have gone through what he went through."
Bentley said her son's teacher never reported when Will was separated from classmates, put in a closet, had his fingers pinched or was held down on the floor. Under the proposed regulation, schools would have to report to parents anytime restraint or seclusion was used.
Tracy Mann, assistant superintendent at Kenton County schools, said she could not comment on any case related to a former student. But she said the district has written procedures for using restraint and seclusion. Additionally, she said forms are filled out for school officials and sent home to parents when incidents occur.
Now 9, Will is home-schooled and can read but still battles fears and anxiety.
"They have set us back years with Will," Bentley said. "This is just not kids who misbehave. We have to protect all children."

Caravan Changes Make Room for Smiling Kids and Full Stomachs
Blog Note – The Royals Caravan was scheduled to head to Nebraska on Monday, Jan. 15. However, due to the weekend's winter storm, the trip was shortened by a day. Royals Director of Community Relations Ben Aken offered these comments on the day's activities.
When we received the disappointing news that we were going to have to postpone our trip to Nebraska for the Winter Caravan, we looked for alternatives for our day in Kansas City. Royals pitcher Ryan Braun took in a workout at Kauffman Stadium while we delivered the news to Nebraska media outlets and fans that the caravan schedule had changed. Following Ryan's workout, we decided to make the best of the day and took in some KC BBQ before visiting children undergoing treatments at a local hospital. While he has spent most of his off-season where Carolina style is king, Ryan was happy to see why Kansas Citians do BBQ better.
After stuffing our faces with more beef brisket than we should, we headed over to see the kids at the hospital. For over two hours, Ryan visited with children and their families. Ryan was a big hit when he distributed Sluggerrr dolls and Royals Build-A-Bears, along with signing many autographs.
While we were frustrated we couldn't travel to Nebraska for the Caravan today (a trip to his home state for this Royals Associate), it was such a satisfying time to create a few smiles for kids who probably have more on their minds than slick streets and winter storms.

One of our customers has made a policy decision that all email incoming and outgoing needs to be over a TLS encrypted channel. So they expect to send to us over TLS and expect us to send to them over TLS.
Can anyone tell me exactly what I will need to configure to allow this.
Our setup -
MX records point to external ISP mail relay/spam filters
ISP delivers mail to our mail server.
Outgoing mail goes directly from our mail server
They wish the configuration to require TLS - not to fall back to plain text if TLS cannot be established.
I have seen wiki articles Postfix PCI Compliance in ZCS - Zimbra :: Wiki and Outgoing SMTP Authentication - Zimbra :: Wiki but I'm still confused
Thanks in advance

Mayo Clinic offers appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System locations.
The Department of Oncology has one of the largest, most comprehensive cancer diagnosis and treatment programs in the world. It is closely aligned with the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, designated by the National Cancer Institute as a comprehensive cancer center. The Mayo Clinic Cancer Center ranks in the top tier of cancer centers in the United States for cancer research, treatment, and education. The Department of Oncology works in collaboration with other departments and divisions at Mayo Clinic to provide patients with all aspects of cancer care.
Each year at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, more than 12,000 patients are diagnosed and treated for 200-plus different types of cancer. Adults with cancer of the colon and rectum, breast, prostate, and lung comprise the largest number of patients seen at Mayo Clinic's Oncology Department. Specialists at Mayo Clinic also have extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of every kind of cancer, including:
Novel drug, immunologic, and biological targeted therapies and gene therapies are being studied intensively within the department to determine their potential for cancer treatment. This clinical expertise aligns strongly with the research programs of the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center. This alignment makes it possible for eligible patients to enroll in cutting-edge clinical cancer research studies, receive the most advanced treatments, and learn about their illness to actively participate in decisions about their treatment.
The Department of Oncology includes more than 50 oncologists and allied health professionals specializing in Medical Oncology. Members of the department work closely with colleagues in the Department of Radiation Oncology to provide each patient with accurate diagnosis and treatment using one or more types of cancer-killing therapies, and individualized care. They also collaborate with physicians and allied health professionals in related medical specialties — for example, Radiology, the Pain Clinic, Psychiatry and Psychology, Infectious Diseases and essentially all surgical subspecialties — to ensure that cancer patients and their families have access to total care for their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual needs. Mayo Clinic's Cancer Education Center complements these efforts by providing patients and families with a large library and resource service devoted exclusively to cancer information.
Since its founding nearly 100 years ago, Mayo Clinic has offered cancer treatment. More than 100,000 adults have been diagnosed and treated in the Department of Oncology. For some, coming to Mayo Clinic was a last resort. More commonly, patients choose Mayo Clinic early in their diagnosis to access more treatment options to fight their cancer, and experience better outcomes and higher rates of healing and survival.
Mayo Clinic accepts appointments in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota and at Mayo Clinic Health System sites.
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as one of the top Cancer hospitals in the nation for 2015-2016 by U.S. News & World Report

Rockford Police have received almost 80 calls from people who have filed a report. Police say there could still be more calls coming in and that could put the vandalism numbers in the hundreds.
Police say the east and northwest side specifically Harlem Boulevard were the hardest hit. Deputy Chief Dominic Iasparro says that he believes it's a group of youth that travel down various streets shooting a BB gun.
Rockford Auto Glass says it can cost anywhere from about $200 to $2,000 to fix the windows. In both of their shops they have about 80 car windows to repair and that means more manpower with a lot of overtime.
Rockford police say they have no significant leads. They are asking the community for help. If you have any information you are asked to call Rockford Police or Crimestoppers at 963-7867 or toll free at 1-888-769-STOP.

Young Racers' Club January 2011 - Dave DanielsWritten on December 1, 2010 This month's lucky YRC contest winner is Dave Daniels from Woodbridge, Virginia
Dave Daniels, Woodbridge, VA
This month's Young Racers' Club winner comes to us from Woodbridge, Virginia. Nineteen-year-old Dave Daniels has had a long history in racing dating back to 2001 when he competed in Soap Box Derby. Well, Soap Box led to karting at King George Speedway. Then the karts turned into a Legends car. The move to the Legends meant a move to Old Dominion Speedway. Daniels showed that he had the ability to win behind the wheel of not only the kart but the Legends car as well, and after two seasons he again made a move upward to the Mini-Modified division. Mini-Modifieds look like a Late Model stock car but are smaller in size, utilize lower horsepower motors, and many stock components.
Two thousand nine would be a big year for Daniels. First he graduated high school on the honor roll. Then, on the strength of 5 poles, 3 wins and 13 Top 5s in 13 races, Daniels nabbed the Mini-Modified championship at Old Dominion and Rookie of the Year title in the same year. This season has seen more of the same results. As of press time, Daniels has totaled seven wins on the year and already has clinched the 2010 Mini-Modified Championship. Could Late Models be in this young man's future?
Off the track, Daniels is attending Nova Community College, achieved a black belt in martial arts, and holds three separate welding certifications. Not too bad for a 19-year-old. Well, Dave, congratulations on the repeat championship and for being named this month's Young Racers' Club winner. A $250 gift certificate from our good friends at RHS is on its way to you!

MOONACHIE, N.J. (AP) - Authorities in northern New Jersey say the body of an unidentified man has been pulled out of the Hackensack River, which overflowed its banks and swamped two towns.
The body was recovered Tuesday from the river in the city of Hackensack.
Superstorm Sandy triggered a tidal surge that sent the river and its tributaries overflowing its banks during the middle of the night.
The towns of Moonachie and Little Ferry just to the south of Hackensack both suffered heavy flooding. Rescues of stranded residents continued Tuesday afternoon.
Bergen County officials say flooding also occurred along the river in Hackensack but was less severe than downriver.

Hi everyone
We run a small email newsletter service (3,000 subscribers strictly opt-in only, sent daily) and we're moving to an ISP that does not operate a mail relay.
I've been looking into various options and the best one for us appears to be renting a virtual private server. I have found a company and discussed this usage with them and they said it should be fine.
Basically I was looking to configure postfix as a private relay to send our newsletters through.
The server will be running CentOS 5 (I've only ever used ubuntu) and they will provide an installation of yum and webmin.
Is it possible to configure postfix as a private relay?
So we set our bulk email software (Group Mail Pro) to connect to the postfix SMTP server with a username/password, possibly with encryption as well, and send through that.
Is this possible?
Anyone have a list of postfix configuration changes I would need to make?
On our LAN we use exchange server (switching to Zimbra once v6 is out), and postfix as a local relay for our intranet DB interface with the relayhost directive.
So don't really know much about setting up access control with postfix, and getting it to send mail directly
Any comments/suggestions?
Cheers, B

Good morning all! SO I don't come here often, but when I do, I'm always floored by the number of amazing artists who contribute! I've seen a few of these mapping challenges, and I thought it was high time that I try one out. So tonight around 7ish I sat down and started making my Hex map.
The map has one central starting location, a Dwarven mountain stronghold. I'm basing it off of another map I did a while back, here's a link to that one. So far I've got the hexes done. Will be working on the map soon, will update when I have something more to show off!
Have a great evening err morning everyone!

Support the Women's Equality Agenda — all of it
(Page 2 of 2)
Judaism teaches us that the decision for choice is nuanced and difficult. Honest people, serious people, men and women who support Roe v. Wade, never do so lightly. They struggle. They tread softly because there are lives at stake here and because they know that all life is ultimately sacred. The right to decide about abortion must remain the personal decision of each family or woman.
Although I am convinced personhood does not begin at conception and I learn that from reading the Torah and the teachings of our sages, I will not make anyone else read the Bible as I do or believe as I do. Others can, and do, read it their way with great passion. Let them respect my interpretation and my religious beliefs.
My understanding of free choice is that the right to choose is a God-given right with which persons are endowed. Without choice, life becomes a meaningless routine and humans become robots. Freedom of choice is what makes us human and responsible. For women, the preeminent freedom is the choice to control her reproductive process. We must reinvigorate our efforts to protect this religious freedom, a woman's right of reproductive choice.
The Women's Equality Agenda seeks to establish justice for women as whole persons. This means we support our sisters need equality in the workplace and protections from any type of gender-based discrimination or sexual abuse; it also demands that we support their right to choose. Without reproductive justice, there is no social justice for women. I urge legislators to respect that fact and to trust women's intelligence and integrity and enact the entire Women's Equality Agenda.

Our friends at TheFrisky compiled a great list of "Things a Guy Could Say That Would Make Us Fall Truly, Madly Deeply In Love." They include statements like "You looked a little PMSy, so I baked you chocolate chip cookies and rented "Bridget Jones' Diary" and "Let me tell you how I feel about you" and "What size shoe are you? I saw a pair of Louboutins I think you'll really love." We made a list, too. It has different things on it.

text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor First on the agenda at last week's council meeting was a presentation sprinkled with praise from the city's auditor regarding how far Grant has come in the last few years. Members of council received the full audit report along with letters of findings and support from Terry Galloway of Almquist, Maltzahn, Galloway and Luth CPA firm in Grand Island. Galloway began his audit presentation by referring to various sections of the entire multi-page report and making comments on the assets, governmental funds, proprietary funds and overall budget. In referring to the section on governmental funds, Galloway said to the council, "These are very good numbers to have. You have strong cash reserves." In the general government portion of the audit, Galloway pointed to the budgeted figure of $152,000 and spending of $123,000. "You adopted a budget that's very realistic," he said. In referring to the street account, there was $230,000 budgeted with $204,000 spent. "I like how you manage overall cash," said Galloway. He commended council for replacing infrastructure on a timely basis and commented on water/sewer/waste, levy rates and property taxes, highway allocation, and services to the community such as police protection, cemetery/library/recreation and airport. Galloway said the thing he could suggest overall is that council take at look at the electric rates. Because of supplier increases, the city has a very low income-to-revenue ratio and risks losing money on electrical service if rates are not increased. The council was also provided a report on the city's electrical system showing it to be in very good condition to handle future forecasted loads. "You've done a great job in running the City of Grant," said Galloway at the conclusion of his report. "We have come a long way since 2006."One and Six Tom Werblow of TC Engineering was present for a 7:30 p.m. hearing on the proposed one and six year street plans. He presented council with a summary of what projects were accomplished last year that fit into the six-year plan, and encouraged future planning. Armor coating is budgeted for the current year and the bid process should begin in March. Werblow said the work will be done within the budget set and informed council that the cost of gravel has come down some even though the trend on everything has been upward for the past four years. Gas prices drive the economy and costs for delivery of anything, he said. The increased costs are amazing for street construction, Werblow told council. "Since 1983 [as Grant's engineer] the numbers are just astounding." Golf Course Well Further discussion was held on replacing the pump vs a new well at the golf course. Drilling a new municipal well, plus the costs associated with piping the water to town would be at least $1 million, said Werblow. City Administrator Dana Harris will pursue a meeting with the Economic Development Committee to check on funding for only a new pump which would cost approximately $54,000.Library Roof The bid notice for replacement of the library roof has been published. Bid opening will be Feb. 8, and the council will consider bids at their meeting on Feb. 12.

Dear Editor:
People (like Helen Delaney in her letter of Sept. 28) who wonder what the big deal is about asking voters for identification, don't seem to want to acknowledge that there lots of eligible voters in this country who haven't needed an ID since long before one was required in some states now to vote, which is only recently.
They have their Social Security checks sent directly to their banks, so they don't see any bank tellers; they don't fly; they are too old to be mistaken for under 21 if they buy alcohol; they no longer drive or maybe never did; they have had the same doctor for many years who won't question their identities.
A previous letter included being admitted to the emergency room as needing an ID. I don't believe that is correct, for ERs are required by law to treat all who present themselves as needing emergency care. I doubt that all those admitted to an ER have picture IDs.
There are those who have picture IDs and use them all the time. But a certain number of eligible voters who have voted for decades with no problem at all now have to go to extra trouble and expense in order to vote. Is that equal protection under the law?
To those who think voter fraud is rampant in the country, do a little research instead of taking some political propagandist's word for it. In a country that has an average 40 percent or so of eligible voters who don't vote at all, we need to make voting easier, not harder. Why would someone risk paying a fine or going to jail just for the sake of one extra vote? That makes no sense!
