Farming out the turnpike
We will leave it to social sci- entists to explain how an issue that just five years ago helped define Republican gubernatorial candidate Kenneth Blackwell as out of the mainstream and led to his defeat is now on the verge of fait accompli by Ohio's new governor, John Kasich. We're talking about the proposed lease of the Ohio Turnpike, which is one of a number of social engineering issues that was insinuated into the budget passed by the General Assembly and signed by Kasich Thursday.
Whatever the explanation, the sale or lease of the Ohio Turnpike remains a bad idea. And it remains an idea that is neither politically conservative nor fiscally prudent.
The turnpike is an asset that has been built and maintained over a half century by the users of the turnpike — some, but not all, of whom are Ohio taxpayers.
Eager to 'share the wealth'
One of the "arguments" being posited by leasing proponents is that the turnpike presently only benefits northern Ohioans, but its lease would allow all Ohioans to share in the profit.
But that twisted logic points out the very reason why the turnpike should be left alone to function as it has. The turnpike was not designed as a cash cow for the taxpayers of northern Ohio or Southern Ohio — and certainly not for politicians in Columbus.
The Turnpike Commission was created to insulate this important roadway from the grasp of politicians looking for something for nothing. The commission collects tolls with which it pays its debts and maintains, polices and improves the road. The fathers of the turnpike recognized that the motorists and truckers who pay the tolls are not cash cows. They should not be forced to pay a premium that is diverted into the state's general fund, other highway funds or into the profit statements of a johnny-come-lately foreign consortium that buys a lease.
Risking the independent and successful operation of the turnpike for short-term profit and political gain is many things, but none dare call it conservative governance.
I don't agree with all the editorials here, but I do agree with this one. Remember the hue and cry when some of this country's major ports were sold to not only foreign interests, but Middle-Eastern foreign interests? Who's going to lease or buy the Ohio Turnpike?
And, anybody who thinks the tolls will drop and/or the services provided will get better is delusional. When you add the desire to generate a profit into the equation, something's got to give to allow that almighty dollar to be made. Presumably the Turnpike is at an equilibrium now - tolls taken in are turned around and spent on upkeep, employees, and the other functions that keep traffic moving. If someone wants to make a profit on top of that, less will be available to be spent on upkeep (paving, keeping the lights and interchanges in good repair, etc.) or employees - we could end up with maybe one human taking tolls - can you imagine the backup of cars whose drivers don't have the EZPass device, with only one tollbooth open to take cash?
Privatizing the Turnpike is a bad idea.
The sale of our turnpike is ONE-TIME MONEY! Kasich will sell our turnpike to foreign investors....just brilliant....
Please read article below, this is an identical situation going on throughout our country bridges, pikes, etc
NoBS.. Is the current turnpike system revenue neutral or a net gain? If it is, then I see no need to privatize. If it's not, why should taxpayers fund a roadway that is a net loss on the books?
Do you have an ATM card or a Credit Card? Do you only deal in cash? I think we have the technology to have some new fangled machine thingy that makes change. I don't see how that takes significantly more time than a human. Does that mean toll takers will be out of a job? Probably. Does that mean the salaries paid to toll takers would be used to maintain the roads? Probably. Sucks to be a toll taker, just like it probably sucked to be a buggy whip maker back in the early 1900's.
Tolls will continue to be collected and I assume that toll money will be required to be forwarded to Columbus to be spent as it is now.
Why do you think if toll booths are migrated from state control to private control the roads will fall into disrepair? Seems rather counterproductive to me.
Mgourley I see you haven't had any problems with the new fangled machine thingy. Well wait if you happen to go into machine run lane and all you have is twenty dollar bill and thats all you have with you.. You might not get your change for weeks while the pike employee checks to see if the machine has balanced at the end of the day.. If it balances you will not get your money. If it doesn't you will wait for weeks to get it back.Where if you deal with people its returned immediately. Take you chose!
Agree with you 100% NoBS. Another bad idea for our state.
I may be in the minority here, but I generally keep a good supply of 1's 5's 10's and 20's in the wallet, as well as probably 5 bucks or so in change in the cup holder. You must be one of those rich, fat cats that eschew anything under a 20.
Again, debit cards have been around for what, 20 years? I'm sure that's valid tender.
mgourley, if the Turnpike is operating at a loss, I'm not aware of it. They seem to have the money to be adding a third lane to much of it. But as it is now, taxpayers AREN'T funding it, win or lose. Those who actually use it are. When sold, those who use it will continue to fund it, PLUS fund whoever owns it. Either tolls will go up, or employees and maintenance will go down. One of those things MUST happen.
Do you have an EZPass? Does everyone you know have one? Why not? The technology has been around for years. Should we all be forced to buy one, even if we only travel on the Turnpike once or twice a year? Should we pay that monthly fee for nothing, just in case we want to take a ride on the Turnpike? How many people do you suppose use the Turnpike who aren't from around here? Should they have an EZPass?
If you've seen debit cards being used to pay tolls, please tell me what planet that was on - it sure ain't around here!
I travel the Indiana turnpike for work at various times and the Indiana pike was sold. Maintenance and snow removal will be worse if similar to Indiana. Also, the automated only toll booths will cause problems when the credit card machine doesn't accept a credit card. A lot of horn honking when a car is stuck without the ability to pay and no one is around to help.
I want a living human being at the Turnpike toll booths. A machine can't come to my assistance if I need it. I can't report trouble on the road to a Turnpike ATM. And besides, why is the Republican governor so hellbent on increasing the number of unemployed Ohioans?
Here's the Deal,..
Leasing or selling state assets aren't just a bad idea it's even a HORRIBLE proposal,..
My stance against it isn't partisan politics. Because I aligned with Pennsylvanians against it. Even when Dixiecrat Ed Rendell, tried to pull it off a few years back when he was their governor.
It's a corporate based fleece scheme that offers absolutely nothing but front load pennies to the citizens. In return for fleecing them long term and bilking the living hell out of them to use it.
There's not a single state where it's been done that shows it's been anything but a ripoff of the taxpayers.
Which is irrefutable fact and absolute private profit ponzi plan precedent.
@ dimebag
You're trying to say Wha?
The first question here is to ask are you lying on purpose? Or are you lying because you genuinely don't know any better,.. which is it?
See in comparison for starters as an electorate Indianans are known for being historically statewide stupid. To wit that ingrate perched as Indiana governor is none other than the re-elected Mitch Daniels, that in fact did lease their toll roads for $3.8 Billion back in 2007. He sold the state knuckle heads on a volley of false promises and he's now in the process of finishing that state off.
In those first 3 years of Mitch Daniels, corporate clip job positioning. He steered the state into a financial deficit just shy of one Billion dollars,.. http://www.journalgazette.net/article...
Then he sprung that " Major Moves plan " virtually sold it for that duration is 75 YEARS of the " Lease." Not only is it NOT working for Indiana but that 75 YEARS out outsourced ownership. Is actually a lifetime " sale " of the state asset for a couple generations of Indiana residents,.. did you know that?
To include cash grab kingpin Goldman Sachs & Co. is reported to have received more than $20 million in fees for just putting the ITR swindle transaction together.That new ITR is what orchestrates that the taxpaying residents of Indiana. Won't get control of their toll roads back until the year 2082,..
To wit that's no profit sharing plan. That's an absolute pilfer the populous PLOT !!!,.. try denying it.
In 2006, Mitch Daniels continued his crusade to axe state employees by signing privatizing the enrollment service for the state's welfare programs into law. Indiana's welfare enrollment facilities were replaced with outsourced call centers operated by his corporate cronies over at IBM.
After 3 years of suits, expanding welfare and pending legislative challenge of unconstitutionality. In mid-2009, after complaints of no service, poor service and non availability. Mitch Daniels canceled the swindle with IMB and returned the enrollment service back to the public sector
That's the same Indiana governor Mitch Daniels, that's now presiding over a state. That's running on a corporate scheme of smoke and mirrors. That when federal legislation for decreasing corporate tax immunity tax effect.
The citizens of Indiana that Mitch Daniels has hoodwinked. Will find that selling state assets to snake oil salesmen will leave them paying for triple fold by proxy,.. paying to use what they'd already once rightfully owned.
Look who's already carrying the load,.. http://www.agecon.purdue.edu/crd/loca...
Leasing the turnpike gives Ohio money to do other things. It's an acceptable plan in these hard times.
@ Dimebag
Check this out toke till you choke,..
First off you're a liar and to address the most relevant one you've told,..
QUOTE - The State of Indiana was losing money on their Turnpike. - end QUOTE
That's a patented Mitch Daniels, LIE that you're trumpeting in a VuVuzella manner. See I recall the Indiana toll roads being described as " minimally " successful. Those profit numbers were hovering in the $1 million per year range when that lease was orchestrated in 2006.
Where mysteriously now post " Lease " those reviewable Indiana toll road revenue charts. Has been removed from the viewable link it used to be posted on,.. all that exists now are vague downloadable PDF forms
That is aside from all there are in reference-able circulation. Are none other than Mitch Daniels, quotes. That are alleging the toll roads being a financial loss to the state since his perch,.. got that?
One has to be smart enough to question not only why those previous charts have now been pulled. As well as how would any " Investor " sees fit to pay $3.8 Billion borrowed dollars to a state. Just to seize control a non profitable deity see it in anyway fit, financially feasible and or lucratively logical. To assume control, cost and liability of it for 75 YEARS,.. surely you'll not answer that.
1.} Vehicles will be charged " double " if the residents don't open a revolving account with them,.. https://www.getizoom.com/tollRates.do
NOTE: All passenger vehicles from out of state toll road users. By design will pay " double " the privatized rate. For not having established an " I Zoom " account.
2.} Which is an account that requires authorization of giving that " private owner . " Direct access to ALL information and withdrawal access to your personal credit card or checking account,,.. https://www.getizoom.com/faqs.do#FAQ6
Check all the other traps and snare out,.. https://www.getizoom.com/faqs.do
And there's even MORE,..
With Mitch Daniels having steered the state into corporate tax giveaways debt in his initial term. That were giveaways designed to play to such the 75 YEAR plot. Is in fact a textbook ponzi ploy. That on initial launch will give a fiscal appearance of immediate relief when sprung. Where in fact in Indiana specifically, it came in the sum of $3.8 Billion minus the $20 Million Goldman Sachs took off the top,.. call it $3.6 Billion.
However, Indianan's and everybody that now uses that roadway are also already paying an increased rate. To include look at what's happening when somebody even tries to utilize that money for what t was allegedly intended for.
Educate yourself,.. http://www.indystar.com/article/20090...
That money on paper is just being used as some quick fix facade. I'd bet it's in amortization bonds and full payment of the $3.6 Billion isn't even there in any total form of liquidity. If it were then why isn't it all accessible? To include why would Mitch Daniels try scalping Women's and children health care?
Here's that look,.. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/artic...
Even all that aside,.. can you imagine { or would you even understand } the profit projection. Of approx how much private profit is going to be sucked out of Indiana toll roadways patron's pockets in that span of 75 YEARS,.. do you?
Via rate hikes that toll road is now churning that outfit's revenue up. To the tune of more than 15 percent private profit from $169.2 million in 2009 to $195.6 million in 2010,.. magic huh?
Here's the view,.. http://www.southbendtribune.com/news/...
Rep. Vernon Smith, D-Gary, said it best - " We've got to understand, any time we get privatization people have to make a profit," Smith said. If they don't earn money, "we have a situation where we have an unstable commodity that we really don't have any control over."
The kicker to that is when you're talking about the state no longer having any authoritative control over roadways that can dictate residents affordability to travel. As well as a private ownership that can make or break the states commerce with no recourse,.. that's a pilfer the populous PLOT !!!
So where is this new freeway in Indiana? Where are the new Toyota and Honda plants with this new freeway?
Unionforever (yea right)
So we should just take something that is "Acceptable" because of the bad times. Our bad times won't last 50-75years. Now if it was a GREAT OFFER, that is something different.
Leasing the OHIO turnpike is a REALLY bad idea. Why sell OHIO property to another country to profit off of? STUPID idea to give away something OHIO can profit off of for 50-75years.

Verve Project Parade - Caught Being Kind
I've created a little project inspired by my son's elementary school. I love his school's Caught Being Kind program, where teachers can award children who go above and beyond normal good manners and kindness, and the children who are caught have their names read on the next morning's announcements.
I know you'll be shocked {wink}, but my 8- and 5-year-olds (one boy, one girl) sometimes have "issues" getting along. Sound familiar? I'm thinking Caught Being Kind would be a great program to try at home as well. The idea is pretty much the same as the school's. Mom and Dad issue the awards, but instead of having their name read during announcements, the child will get a Caught Being Kind ticket at dinnertime and the family will make a big fuss over both the child and the act of kindness. To make the whole ticket thing a little more exciting, I created a special book to store the tickets. I love that they'll be able to keep track of how many they've earned, but even more, that they'll be able to read back through them as a reminder of what they did to get each ticket. Right now, I'm thinking we'll let them cash in their tickets for special rewards, like a movie date or a special breakfast out with Mom or Dad.
The cover and inside pages are cut using Stampin' Up's Top Note die. The title is done with JustRite Stamper products. I embellished with two brown-embossed hearts from Hundred Hearts. The inside pages are Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, and Baja Breeze, accented with scraps of Sassafrass Lass dp and stamped with the background pattern from Hundred Hearts.
I didn't want to set myself up for having to make a whole new page for every ticket, so I designed the inside pages to hold removable tickets. As they redeem their tickets, we can take them out and keep re-using the pages of the book.
The book I'm showing today is for the 8-year-old boy. I'll make something more girly for the 5-year-old next. (Had to get the harder one done first!)
Want to play along and be "A Kid At Heart?" To play, just link your project to THIS POST and you'll be entered to win a $25 gift certificate to Verve Stamps. Please be sure that your entries are linked there no later than 8PM (Mountain) on February 5th. The winner will be announced on the Verve blog on February 6th. Have fun and good luck!
Stamps: Hundred Hearts (Verve Stamps); JustRite Stampers
Paper: Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze (Stampin' Up); dp (Sassafrass Lass)
Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU); Old Paper and Walnut Stain Distress Ink (Tim Holtz/Ranger)
Accessories: 7Gypsies book ring; SU ribbon, ticket punch, slit punch, jumbo eyelet, Top Note die, paper piercer, 1/4" circle punch, crystal effects, dimensionals; BossKut die; Spellbinders die; brown embossing powder; Pink Hedgehog Paper Crafts burlap string

Noumea, on the largest island in the New Caledonia archipelago, is brimming with beautiful beaches and colonial architecture. But the city itself is just the beginning of the adventure: It's also a diver's playground. Hotels in Noumea are the gateway to the world's largest lagoon system and the second largest continuous barrier reef.
Things to Do in Noumea
The islands of New Caledonia just barely peek above the turquoise waters, as if they're trying to stay hidden from view. But below, a whole world of marine life awaits. Accommodation near Noumea Harbour is the best starting point for aqua-holics. Take a day tour out into the lagoon and you'll see shades of blue and green you didn't even know existed—but it's the teeming coral reefs that will really take your breath away.
When you're done discovering the ocean dwellers, learn about the impressive history of the people and region at Musee de Nouvelle-Caledonie. Did your energy swim away with the fishes? Just kick back in a French cafe near the Noumea Cathedral and take in the scenery before heading back to your Noumea accommodation.
Getting To & Around Noumea
New Caledonia's airport, La Tontouta International (NOU), is about 40 km north of the city. The country is still a bit of an undiscovered destination for tourists, so public transportation from the airport to the city is sparse. However, there are plenty of shuttle lines waiting outside the terminal, and many Noumea hotels will organise a ride for you. To really motor around, Wotif has great car hire options as well.
You don't have to be a philosopher to have "deep" thoughts. If you dream of diving into adventure, book one of Wotif's Noumea holidays. You can easily choose the perfect combination of flight and accommodation—all you have to worry about is packing your sunnies.

Barberton — Around 100 youth volunteers from eight area high schools raised money for Southwest Washington Red Cross Disaster Services on Halloween by "Trick or Treating for Disaster."
The students, who surpassed their goal of raising $1,500, collected more than $2,600 during the evening.
Students from Evergreen, Prairie, Battle Ground, Mountain View, Hudson's Bay, Columbia River, Fort Vancouver and Union High Schools worked together to support relief services for local disaster victims.
In the past fiscal year, the local Red Cross responded to 107 fires, 10 floods and three storm-related incidents, and mobilized relief to 149 families affected by local disasters. The services are free to those affected by disaster thanks to the generosity of local donors.

The stream editor sed
Working with a text editor can be difficult if you need to handle frequently recurring tasks or multiple files. sed can save a lot of typing.
The Streamline Editor is a popular text editor for Unix and Linux systems. In contrast to editors such as Vi and Emacs, sed is not interactive. Instead, users define text to delete, modify, or add at the command line. You can also script sed commands and run them as a single batch job. If you need to modify a number of characters in one or multiple files, sed saves you from typing till your fingers bleed.
sed normally reads texts for processing from standard input (stdin), however, you can alternatively specify one or multiple files. sed will apply the specified commands to each line, writing them to a buffer. The output of the buffer will be sent to standard output (stdout), unless you change the default. The generic command syntax is as follows:

Oklahoma City Barons: Houston downs Barons in a shootout
HOUSTON — The standings point might play a positive role once the playoff races begin.
For now, though, the Oklahoma City Barons' penalty kill unit continues its subpar play relatively early in the American Hockey League season. And it cost them a third consecutive win.
Jason Zucker scored a game-tying power play goal with 2:11 left in regulation, and then Mikael Granlund added the game-winner in the shootout as the Houston Aeros escaped with a 4-3 victory before 9,304 fans at Toyota Center. Houston (14-8-4) picked up two standings points after it recovered from 2-1 and 3-2 deficits against an Oklahoma City team coming off impressive back-to-back victories against San Antonio in the Cox Center.
Oklahoma City (13-9-4) received one point for going past regulation. But the Barons could have notched both standings points had Jordan Henry not taken a slashing penalty with 3:38 left in regulation. The Aeros capitalized against the AHL's worst penalty-killing team as Zucker scored his 13th goal of the season.
The Barons flirted with losing the game in the five-minute overtime when defenseman Martin Marincin was whistled for holding, giving the Aeros a 4-on-3 man advantage. But Oklahoma City managed to get the game into the best-of-3 shootout, where Houston scored twice. Aeros goaltender Matt Hackett stopped shots by OKC's Mark Arcobello, Jordan Eberle, Justin Schultz and Taylor Hall.
Arcobello, who had four assists Saturday night against San Antonio, had a goal and assist Sunday. His seventh goal of the season, with 8:49 left in regulation, gave Oklahoma City a 3-2 lead. Eberle, who had four goals Saturday night, was held to an assist on Arcobello's goal. Hall and Schultz had Oklahoma City's other regulation goals.
The Barons' next game is a Friday-Saturday series against the Texas Stars in the Cox Center. Both games begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the Cox Center box office.

Well, I've got everything I need for my tour, just about. I just need to pick up some shorts and jerseys. There are so many options, i was just curious what kind of clothing all of you ride in.
i was also looking at the clothes that said they were made for mountain biking. they look a little more loose fitting, and like they might fit in better when i'm not riding my bike and just walking around. does anyone have any thoughts on those sorts of clothing?

Posted on 02/13/2012 7:47:33 PM PST by TheBigB
NEW YORK Shes a Florida girl whos comfortable in a bikini, and now 19-year-old model Kate Upton is on the cover of the 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
She wears a tiny red-and-brown, sparkle-covered string bikini with a view of the waters of Australia behind her as she poses for the magazine cover, which is scheduled to be unveiled on TV Monday night on Late Show with David Letterman on CBS.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
I'm glad she's picked herself up and is moving forward in life. She took it really hard when I dumped her.
I told you to stay away from my girl!
THEN she goes and gets a restraining order against me! Wutz up wit dat?
All of you people here are a bunch of perverts sickos
I fit right in
8 posts and no one thought to ping the authority?
Me, too.
Oh Mamma!
Beautiful teeth.
Good choice. Uh huh.
He is like a vampire to women's beauty.
That photo is an optical illusion. If you stare at it long enough a beach magically appears in the background. I don't believe it though.
Best thread of the day...by far!
If you stare at her teeth long enough, the bikini bottom dissapears.
"Im glad shes picked herself up and is moving forward in life. She took it really hard when I dumped her."
She was only using you to get to me anyway. Sorry.
You just had to do that, didn't you.
I'm pretty sure posting that pic on this thread is an act of domestic terrorism...
A distant relative of mine used to be the Mayor of Melbourne. Does this give me a "First In Line" card?
Ummm...Bush's fault?
Gimmie a couple hours to try that and I'll report back with my findings ;)
Normie - Wandering Druid of Pervhenge
Enjoy, fellas... ;-)
Two hours with that and ....... Oh, never mind.
All you'd report would be a dozen of these: (:
2 of them are naked sluts, without any clothes on at all, just paint.
That girl needs to be spanked, might as well be a porn star
No, I must do this...for science! ;)
I sense a breakthrough is imminent....
Line forms to the right. No cuts.
YKK malfunction?
nice belly button
I sense a breakthrough is imminent....
You must be deliberate and take your time in such matters.
A 'scientific' breakthrough..... God you people.... ;)
You too? I just couldn't afford those Brazilian bikini wax sessions every other week any more.
It's a thankless job to be sure. But science is not for the weak willed.
No Lint!
Meh. Wouldn't want my wife to trade bodies with her. At least some of the OTHER pictures of her are attractive. But this is just rather porny without the X rating.
Well...her teeth ain't perfect but the rest of her sure is!
Where did you get these Pics of my wife?
Journal entry 1:
After nearly an hour of close scientific observation, I remain unable to locate the beach said to appear in the background. Eyes seem unable to focus outside the primary viewing area. I wonder if this has to do with the photo's lighting.
Faithfully, I press on...for SCIENCE!
Dave, you're gonna get my wife in trouble posting stuff like that.
Schick and Gillette are totally dropping the ball if they don't they don't take advantage of this photo-op.

THREE judges of the Supreme Court issuing a short judicial order dated June 19, 2012 and consisting of only two pages has led to two dramatic consequences.
Firstly, the removal of prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, who enjoyed the support of an overwhelming majority in the National Assembly. Secondly, the acceptance of judicial defeat by the political elite leading to political change in the form of a new prime minister.
In short, unlike the unconstitutional coups of the military elite, the Supreme Court has emerged as an independent constitutional vehicle for political/government change in Pakistan on the basis of legal, and not political, grounds.
But let us think about this in more generic analytical terms. What is the nature of this Supreme Court which brings about a political/government change? What are the reasons behind the rise of such a Supreme Court? And what are consequences of such a Supreme Court?
From independence to activism to sovereignty: In the beginning, it was all about 'judicial independence'. The period between March 9, 2007 (i.e. suspension of the chief justice) and Nov 3, 2007 (i.e. Musharraf's second coup) is characterised as a struggle for judicial independence.
But after the restoration of all the judges in March 2009, judicial independence was no longer an issue but rather a presumption of the superior judiciary regarding itself. The battle moved on from judicial independence to judicial activism in the period between March 2009 to November 2011.
This period of judicial activism was characterised by rigorous judicial scrutiny of legislative and executive/government actions of the political elite and of human rights and other legal violations by private individuals/organisations and a check on the de facto power of the military elite.
But none of the decisions and actions of the Supreme Court was a direct challenge to the power base of the political elite. For example, even on the NRO issue, judicial restraint was exercised by the Supreme Court for over two years before contempt proceedings were finally initiated in January 2012.
However, December 2011 seems to have been a turning point with the 'memo case' at the Supreme Court. The judgments in the 'memo/Haqqani case', the 'contempt case' against the prime minister and the latest short order in the 'disqualification case' against the prime minister indicate a shift from judicial activism to judicial sovereignty.
This judicial sovereignty indicates the confidence of the Supreme Court to directly challenge the political elite by posing a judicial threat to its leadership and the threat to restructure the democratic system in the judiciary's image. In short, the Supreme Court is exercising relatively absolute power like any other sovereign, being externally checked only by public opinion and by the countervailing power of the political and military elites.
Reasons for the rise of judicial sovereignty: Four main reasons can be identified. Firstly, apart from initially resisting the restoration of an independent judiciary till March 2009, the PPP political elite has not been able to put in place any institutional or non-institutional checks/ resistance on judicial independence or judicial activism. Therefore, the lack of systemic political resistance to judicial independence and judicial activism created the conditions for judicial sovereignty.
Secondly, conflict within political elites (PPP versus PML-N) and intra-state conflict (PPP versus the army), requiring judicial adjudication (e.g. contempt case, memo case), dramatically increased judicial power. In short, the judiciary exercises sovereignty because its political and military opponents are busy fighting among themselves.
Thirdly, there is always a rise in severe judicial dissent against the government in the last year of any government in a transitional democratic state. Judges give major political decisions against the ruling political elite because they know that the government is on its way out. In Pakistan, this 'judicial dissent/defection' in the last year has been expressed in the form of judicial sovereignty.
Fourthly, the perceived legitimacy of this judiciary is not based merely on constitutional legitimacy but also on popular or public legitimacy. The exercise of judicial sovereignty in removing prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani was politico-constitutionally possible because of the perceived unpopularity of his government and the lack of popular resistance to such judicial removal.
Consequences of judicial sovereignty: Judges exercise tremendous power over the destiny of Pakistani citizens. Such judicial power is three-pronged. Firstly, the constitution controls our destiny and the judges control the constitution because they are the ultimate interpreters of the constitution.
Secondly, judges are the final decision-makers in disputes between political elites, intra-state institutions and private individuals. In short, unless set aside in heaven by God, the judgments of the superior courts determine our destiny because they ultimately decide our disputes.
Thirdly, this present judiciary has initiated a process of judicialisation of state and societal issues meaning that the constitution and law are being promoted as a supreme moral value and as a solution for all problems affecting Pakistan. Our political, social, cultural and economic problems have been legalised and judicialised.
But are there any checks on or accountability of this judicial sovereignty? The answer to this question is simple: very little. There are actually no institutional or constitutional mechanisms to check and hold the judiciary accountable for a completely wrong or absurd interpretation of the constitution or a completely wrong or absurd resolution of a legal dispute.
Moreover, since the appointment and removal of the judges is, in reality, in the hands of the judges themselves, serious questions arise whether any accountability about the conduct of judges is possible in such a system.
As Dr Arsalan Iftikhar's case clearly indicates, short of initiating proceedings under Article 209 of the constitution for the removal of judges, there are no institutional, or constitutional, mechanisms for checking and addressing allegations of unethical or improper judicial conduct.
Judicial sovereignty is a judico-political reality, which will be difficult to reverse but judicial sovereignty without accountability is a constitutional anachronism, which cannot be accepted. Therefore, the task ahead is not to engage in either irrational optimism or pessimism about our superior judiciary but to begin the patient task of initiating judicial reforms for judicial accountability.

So what's different? Well, the weather, for one thing; and rather than the 60p a kilo supermarket flour of my last few attempts I went for a more expensive flour from Bambuni (Shipton Mill, I think), which I'm sure Huey will consider the absolutely crucial determinant; I'm now using a starter that I, erm, started from scratch; I'm also now using a proving basket and a peel (to transfer the dough onto the heated stone in the oven lickety-spit); but, really, I reckon it's mainly down to three factors:
- I've ditched the overnight sponge palaver, my thinking being that maybe the length of time was causing the lack of the sour tang taste I was after.
- I've upped the amount of starter added to the dough for the same reason, and also because I thought this might help achieve a wetter texture and larger holes in the crumb.
- I've adopted Richard Bertinet's slapping/stretching method (see the video below) instead of a traditional kneading method or the 'just stretch and fold a few times' method.

A little dab'll do ya!
By Mimi
from Rockport, texas
This product is being used to stamp fabric. Indian wood blocks, metal tjaps, rubber stamps, acrylic stamps and my own craft foam stamps were all inked with this product. The thickness makes it easy to achieve a clean result with no runny edges. Truly only a small amount is necessary making it a real bargain product as other inks made for this purpose are runny needing more ink on the stamp which can leave globs. I mixed white with som tubes to lighten the ink, but mixing colors is sort of pain unless you need a large amount.Make sure you let the inked piece cure for a couple days. Hand of fabric remains fine.

Great multipurpose ink
By Morphee
from Maine
I use these inks to block print both on paper and fabric. I like the high-tack factor, it rolls on smooth with only occasional lumps ( though I have noticed as it ages in the tube, there are more clump).On fabrics, once ironed it does not fade, and it does not stiffen the fabric it is on. It does take a full three days to dry, so you need to plan ahrad. I love the easy clean-up with soapy water, and I use baby wipes to keep my work station in clean operation.

Hate this ink
By Melissa N
from union, ia
I used this to print blocks on paper and fabric. Rolled it out and was dry almost instantly. Created terrible prints, and to be able to use it I'd have to add glycerin to extend the working time. I bought two packs and am very unhappy with the quality of the product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Love this product

Used this to block print on t-shirts with non-arty kids. Worked really well, doesn't wash out and easy to clean up.

What they're saying at Big 12 Media Days
Kansas coach Charlie Weis: "One issue, the one that everyone sees, is the fact that we're 2-10 and 3-9 over the last two years … the other one, which I think is maybe even more important, were not the losses last year but how badly they lost so often."
West Virginia receiver Tavon Austin: "You see all the people here, you see the mascots, cheerleaders. You see all the players walking around; you don't really say much to them. You look at them; they look at you. We're definitely ready to hit the field."
Baylor coach Art Briles, on being without Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III: "How do you adjust not having the best football player in the United States of America last year at the collegiate level? That's the thing that inspires us. That's the thing that makes our guys comes together and fight for each other and work to prove themselves, because we're in the proving business."
OSU coach Mike Gundy: "Five, six years ago when I was at these meetings and saying that our goal was to win a Big 12 championship and play for a national championship, there was just a small percentage of people that believed, and probably 99 percent of those people were in orange."
West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen: "What's awesome about the Big 12 as opposed to where we were last year (Big East) is just the national exposure, and it's going to be West Coast to East Coast. And they're going to be put in some venues to be able to shine, if they can handle that."
Texas cornerback Carrington Byndom, on if he would miss playing Texas A&M: "We put TCU in that spot. So, no. Not at all. They left, and we've replaced them with TCU."
OSU tailback Joseph Randle, on all the congratulations from the 2011 title season: "It's nice. We had a great season last year. We're just trying to do it again. I don't want it to stop. I don't want the party to stop."
Kansas quarterback Dayne Crist, on what drew him to KU: "It wasn't so much what they said but more the feel that I had from those guys. You could tell there was a definite desire and eagerness to win and be successful and improve ... they're very excited to make a name for themselves this year and help start turning this thing around."
Texas coach Mack Brown: "We had a great defense last year by the end of the year, and our defense was really led by seniors. So who will be the guy to step up and take the leadership role?"
Baylor quarterback Nick Florence: "I'm getting a free education and hopefully two degrees about it. I'm thankful for football."

The owners of a Franklin gas station charged with selling synthetic marijuana agreed to pay $88,000, part of which will go to police and prosecutors; but they will get to keep their business.
Nachhattar Singh and his wife, Harinder Kaur, agreed to the settlement in the forfeiture case, in which the city was seeking to take ownership of the businesses, cars and other property that was seized during a December raid. The settlement is among the largest payments ordered in a forfeiture case in the past 20 years, Johnson County Prosecutor Brad Cooper said.
About $40,000 of the settlement is being paid to the Franklin Police Department, while $17,000 will go to the prosecutor's office. Those funds can be used for new equipment or training for officers or prosecutors who work on drug cases. The remainder, about $31,000, will go toward legal fees.
Police raided the Phillips 66 gas station at 400 E. Jefferson St. after a two-year investigation in which police said workers were selling synthetic marijuana, also known as Spice, at the business.
Singh, Kaur, their adult son Veerpartap Singh and another relative face felony charges of dealing a synthetic drug in the case. Nachhattar Singh, Kaur and Veerpartap Singh have pleaded guilty to charges and have a sentencing hearing set in July.
"We took $88,000 of ill-gotten gains away from some Spice dealer. And whether that goes to the city, or the lawyers we had to hire to do it, or to me, or the police department, it's not being kept by them," Cooper said.
Attorneys Dan Vandivier, who represented Singh, and Carrie Miles, who represented Kaur, did not return phone calls on Friday.
The money is being taken out of 11 bank accounts and a safe deposit box that were frozen by a court and ordered to be closed, according to court documents. Singh and Kaur have to make payments of $5,000 to $7,000 every other month starting in June, plus interest of
8 percent on the total. The total amount will be paid in 18 months or less, said attorney Doug Cummins, who represented the city and prosecutor's office.
The prosecutor's office recently used some of the money in its forfeiture fund to pay for part of the training cost for a new Indiana State Police drug-sniffing dog, which will be used to search for drugs on interstates, Cooper said.
Franklin police typically use money from forfeiture cases to purchase equipment such as cameras or audio recorders or pay for training for investigators. Franklin Police Chief Tim O'Sullivan was not available Thursday
or Friday.
No property, such as the gas station, its inventory or vehicles, that was seized by police was forfeited in the agreement, Cummins said.
The city originally considered trying to seize the building and gas station property, but the process might have taken two years or longer to resolve, so the idea was dropped, Franklin Mayor Joe McGuinness said.
If Franklin owned the gas station, the city could clean up or redevelop the property for some other use, since several business owners have fixed up historic homes and turned them into new shops nearby. The gas station doesn't mesh well with other shops in the area and had drawn complaints from nearby residents in the past, he said.

The window worked fine then, until I went over a big curb. Immediately the window sounded very gravelly and stopped working correctly. I have been told I now need to replace the 'window motor regulator'. How do these repairs relate to each other and what then would be the difference between these repairs and a 'door window motor replacement'? I've been told the repair is for "the cables"...I need some enlightenment. Thanks! I have a great mechanic, but these bills are adding up and I'd like to know if this repair will fix it completely.

Heat helpersJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton from East Randolph blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Linda Morse's home in Williamstown on Friday.
Heating a home during a cold Vermont winter is expensive. To help ease the pain, many are turning to weatherization projects. The Central Vermont Community Action Council has five crews working year-round to button up homes in our area. These services are free of charge to central Vermonters who meet income qualifications. Others can hire these trained crews for audits and renovations. People who go through the process typically save 30 to 35 percent on their heating fuel usage. On Friday, a CVCAC crew was at the home of Linda Morse in Williamstown. Above, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton, of East Randolph, blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Morse's home. Scott was on the job as part of his "Vermont Everyday Jobs Tour."

Celebrity 'loser' pumps up students
A self-professed former fat kid stopped by Holladay Elementary School Sept. 20 to present an interactive assembly designed to help students avoid struggling with their weight as he did.
Austin Andrews, who lost more than 200 pounds as a contestant on NBC's Biggest Loser 2011, had HES third-, fourth- and fifth-graders singing, shouting and dancing as he peppered them with information and questions about exercising and making good nutrition choices.
The visit was sponsored by Wholly Guacamole, which brought the "guac mobile," a 55-foot trailer shaped like a bowl of guacamole, to Holladay from its previous visit to a Sterling school.
Wholly Guacamole staff members giggled as they described their travels down the East Coast in the brightly-colored, oddly-shaped truck.
"Driving down the highway, you see all the people hit their brake lights [as the "guac mobile" looms in their rear view mirrors]," said one staff member. "It's a trip!"
Although there were no guacamole samples to be had ("The Baltimore Farmers Market cleaned us out," said a staffer), students posed for photos with the truck and teachers were given coupons to distribute later.
From Richmond, the "guac mobile" was heading to North Carolina, where Andrews would take the "Check Your Choice Tour" and his presentation about healthy habits to additional elementary schools.
A finalist on Biggest Loser 2011, Andrews noted in an interview following the presentation that after feeling so badly about his size as a child, he can't imagine a more rewarding pursuit than helping to curb the trend toward childhood obesity.
While other children weren't necessarily cruel to him about his weight, said Andrews, "I felt bad enough just to go through that. . . . And I don't want to see students go through it."
He also pointed out that in addition to targeting children ages 6 to 14 "the range you have to make an impact" -- the campaign also is designed to educate parents and get them involved in anti-obesity efforts.
"If parents aren't modeling good behavior," said Andrews, "it's hard to get [children to cooperate]. It's good to see schools taking care of that."
During his presentation, Andrews had two student volunteers hold up a t-shirt and pair of pants that he wore when he weighed more than 400 pounds, and pointed out that the weight equaled that of several third-graders.
To loud cheers, Holladay Principal Angela Allen then presented Andrews with a considerably smaller HES t-shirt emblazoned with the school motto, and inducted him into "The Dream Team" as students shouted the motto in unison: "Dream, Lead and Inspire!"
Wholly Guacamole staff members reported afterwards that they immediately began getting feedback from viewers across the country who were inspired as they watched the presentation on the "Check Your Choice" blog.
One viewer posted the message, "What a wonderful school motto! That is the kind of school I want my kids to attend."

Mike Marjama notched a team-high third stolen base on the way to scoring Monday's winning run.
March 7, 2011
Long Beach, Calif. - Long Beach State got things rolling on the basebaths for the kind of win befitting their nickname, scoring three runs without the benefit of a base hit and getting the winning run on a stolen base by Mike Marjama plus an extra base on a wild pitch to beat Hawaii 4-3 on Monday.
The Dirtbags got going quickly on Monday, taking a 3-0 lead through two innings. Brennan Metzger and Matt Hibbert led off the game with back-to-back singles, and then on a double steal, an overthrow by Rainbow catcher David Peterson scored Metzger to put the Dirtbags on the board. An RBI groundout by Matt Duffy then scored Hibbert unearned to give LBSU a 2-0 lead.
Back-to-back singles got the Dirtbags started again in the bottom of the second against Hawaii starter Jarrett Arakawa, who then walked Metzger with two outs, and plunked Hibbert to bring home a third run in the game. Arakawa would settle down at that point, allowing no more runs over five total innings to keep the Rainbows in it.
Hawaii would eventually tie the game at three. The Rainbows started by scoring a pair of runs in the fifth inning off of Ryan Strufing, with the damage coming off of an RBI single by Sean Montplaisir after Strufing walked the leadoff batter. Strufing had six strikeouts over 4.2 innings, and allowed just two runs.
Kyle Friedrichs finished out the fifth inning, but had a run score in the sixth on an RBI triple by Pi'ikea Kitamura, tying the game. That would be the only hit allowed by Friedrichs in 3.1 innings, though, as the Dirtbags headed to their half of the eighth tied at three.
Marjama got on base by beating out an infield single, and after being pushed over to second base, set off to steal third on a throw that got away from Peterson behind the plate. Marjama was able to come all the way around from second to score the winning run at 4-3.
Josh Frye loaded the bases in the ninth inning, due in part to a dropped fly ball in the infield during a gusty day at Blair. Frye was able to induce a groundout to Kirk Singer at short to end the game, collecting his first save of the season and becoming the third different Long Beach State pitcher to finish off a tight game this season.
Long Beach State takes its first true road trip this weekend, playing three games at the AT&T Tournament hosted by California and played at AT&T Park in San Francisco, home of the San Francisco Giants. The Dirtbags play No. 18 Rice on Friday, followed by San Francisco on Saturday and close the tournament with a Sunday game against the host Bears.

I'd bet the Jazz have an offer on the table to the Clips, and the Clips are debating whether to take it. That's why they'd hold Bledsoe out, but Millsap hasn't been shut down yet.

Cruisin Ocean City - Hot Times In The CityWritten by Chuck Vranas on October 1, 2009 19th Annual Cruisin' Ocean City
One of the coolest things about being a hot rod or custom car owner is the ability to hit the open road with your ride to enjoy both local events and the occasional fun-filled road trip. With so many different types of shows spread across the country, it takes careful research and planning to determine which ones are just right for you. You'll find everything from massive events to those that are smaller and tightly focused, to others that are lifestyle-driven. One thing is for sure, a get together like none other in the country evolves each year in Ocean City, Maryland, and is known as Cruisin' Ocean City.
Where else can you arrive to a seaside community of 8,000 residents who open up their 10-mile strip to over 3,000 enthusiastic car owners determined to burn as much high octane fuel as they can for the duration of the weekend? Ocean City isn't a place where you should plan on arriving and parking your butt in a lawn chair, 'cuz this is truly a driving event. It's where horsepower rules and you'll be certain to wear out the soles of your shoes soon after you arrive. Now in its 19th year, it seemed only fitting that it was the very first event stop for the annual AMSOIL/STREET RODDER Road Tour led by Jerry Dixey as he began laying down the miles on the magazine's new '52 Chevy Road Tour car. This seaside community rolls out the red carpet for car owners who, in turn, are treated to some of the finest manicured beaches on the right side of the country, including plenty of exciting night life and great restaurants.
Once you have checked into the event your first stop should be to The Inlet, which serves as the epicenter for the weekend's festivities. As you get settled, there's plenty to check out from a diverse manufacturer's row with plenty of new products being showcased. For some old-time fun, there is a vintage boardwalk that stretches for miles and is adjacent to the inlet packed with arcades, the scent of hot popcorn and fried dough, and loads of amusement park rides, making you think you just stepped into a time warp. If you don't mind waking up early, you have a chance to participate in one of three boardwalk cruises that take place on each of the Thursday-through-Saturday mornings, and it's the only opportunity you'll ever have to say you motored down the historic boards. The inlet has a capacity of 1,500 cars which fills up quickly but, thanks to the exciting array of other shows along the strip throughout the weekend, there's always a chance to find a parking spot. When the call to burn more fuel hits, it's time to leave the inlet and head out to the strip to check out many of the other well organized mini-events. Downtown, the Convention Center promises another jam-packed show along with a few surprises inside the building. This year's visitors lined up to have the chance to meet one of Hollywood's most charming actresses, Cindy Williams, and talk with her about her illustrious career. Rock 'n' roll legend Bowzer was also in town for the scorching Saturday evening concert extravaganza featuring his band, the Stingrays, along with Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon and the Dovells. There was also a collector car auction on Saturday showcasing some of the hottest rides around looking for new owners.
Pacing yourself is the key for this event as there is just so much to take in. Once you stopped to grab a bite and refuel your ride, there were plenty of other gatherings to check out at Harley Davidson of Ocean City, Hooters, Phillip's Crab House, and Crab Alley, to mention but a few. Even though the inlet and Convention Center close at 5 p.m. daily, the strip comes alive with the sounds of nasty V-8's snarling from light to light 'til the wee morning hours. Where else would you have the chance to see Rod and Tina Saboury's '63 Corvette packed with a twin turbo, 2,200 horsepower, small block motoring alongside a Flathead-powered Deuce? Only in Ocean City. By the time Sunday rolls around, it's time for the legendary awards program to kick into full gear with many trophies and prizes being awarded. This is an event where over 100,000 visitors stop in so, with next year being the 20th anniversary, it'll be one to sign up for in advance as the show always sells out. You can check what they have planned at www.specialeventpro.com.
Turtle Wax presents
Street Rodder Top 100
Turtle Wax Tech Tips
Two Myths About Car Care
(and the truths behind them)
1) The longer the duration of a wax job, the better the shine and protection. True: Generally, the quality of the final vehicle appearance is proportional to the time and care that goes into detailing the vehicle. It also is important to note that protective and shine qualities of various wax products generally differ; it is best to use well-known high-quality wax products, like Turtle Wax, rather than unknown bargain brands.
2) Waxing once a year is enough to take care of a car's exterior. False: Car care requirements depend on a variety of environmental conditions. Usually, car wax beading is a great indication of when a car needs to be re-waxed. If the beads are smaller than a quarter in a rainstorm or after washing, the wax barrier is still active. If water starts to form elongated beads or a thin sheet on the horizontal panels, it is time to re-wax.
