MARIETTA - Marietta Municipal Court's move to a new location meant little change as far as spending, revenue and case loads were concerned in 2012.
The numbers were recently released in the court's annual report.
"Nothing really sticks out this year. But that's generally a good thing," said Municipal Court Administrator Jason Hamilton.

Probation officer Melanie Ferrell shows a poster that she put together highlighting the fire hydrant community service project of 2012. The project was a major reason why Marietta Municipal Court ordered more than double the community service hours in 2012 as it did the year prior. Many spending, revenue and case load numbers remained largely unchanged this year according to the court's annual report.
The court spent $769,613.14 of its total general fund budget in 2012. It's a $5,036 increase over 2011's spending, or less than a 1 percent increase.
In addition, the court stayed comfortably within the $778,720 budget that is appropriated by Marietta City Council, said Hamilton.
"It's good to see what was spent was just a little less than the budget," he added.
Fact Box
By The Numbers: 2012 vs 2011
* New felony filings: 409 vs. 352.
* New misdemeanor filings: 1,823 vs. 1,795.
* Total new criminal and traffic filings: 8,976 vs. 8,855.
* Total general fund expended: $769,613.47 vs. $764,576.77.
* Payment to the general fund from fines and cost: $508,738.11 vs. $513,142.70.
* Payment to the general fund from probation funding: $229,230.90 vs. $218,128.
* New probations: 902 vs. 832.
* Court-ordered community service hours: 4,920 vs. 2,330.
It is even better to see considering the court had approximately $71,000 less in its general fund budget than in 2011.
A variety of things factor into that budget, said Hamilton. The lower number could be because a couple of retirements in 2011 meant the court would need less funding for salaries in 2012, he added.
While civil cases continued a downward trend, criminal cases rose slightly in every category - felonies, misdemeanors, OVIs and traffic violations.
In all the court handled 8,976 criminal cases, the highest number in four years.
"You don't want to see people get in trouble, but it does mean higher court costs and fines revenues," pointed out Hamilton.
The court was able to pay approximately $6,700 more toward the general fund this year.
One number that did stick out was the amount of court-ordered community service hours.
"By far the biggest change has been the community service project," said Municipal Court Judge Janet Dyar Welch.
The court ordered more than twice as many community service hours in 2012 as it did the previous year and many of those hours were put toward the fire hydrant painting community service project, overseen by Probation Officer Melanie Ferrell.
The project started out as a way to do something beyond typical community service assignments, particularly something that would have a measurable impact on the community, said Ferrell.
Those assigned to the project repainted more than 700 fire hydrants within the city, color-coding them according to the pressure of water they released, she said.
"We started out with maybe four people and by the end there were probably about 45 people who participated," she said.
The move itself was another reason the court-ordered community service jumped from 2,330 hours in 2011 to 4,920 hours last year, said Marietta Chief Probation Officer Dale Wilson.
"We used a lot of people on community service to help us move here and to help us dismantle this building when we were getting ready to remodel," he said.
The move and community service project provided more opportunity for offenders to perform community service in lieu of jail time or in order to pay off fines, said Hamilton.
While the move has not had a direct impact on the court's caseloads or revenues, it has made a significant impact on those people who use the court, said Welch.
"It doesn't really change anything substantively. It means you don't have victims sitting across a 10-foot hallway from the person who victimized them. It's more accessible, safer for the public," she said.
The move has also streamlined the process for adult probation, which is now in the same building as the court, said Wilson.
"We weren't in the same building before. People who were in court had to come across the street for their probation. It works a lot smoother here," he said.

Use straw man in a sentence
Kevin's boss was being incredibly secretive about the parties involved in the lawsuit, so it was no surprise that the papers sent to Kevin for review were straw man documents and not the real thing.
I realized my mother was using a straw man argument because she was attacking a misrepresented version of my argument.
Straw man arguments often arise in public debates such as a (hypothetical) prohibition debate: A: We should relax the laws on beer. B: No, any society with unrestricted access to intoxicants loses its work ethic and goes only for immediate gratification. The proposal was to relax laws on beer. Person B has exaggerated this to a position that is harder to defend, i.e., "unrestricted access to intoxicants". It is a logical fallacy because Person A never made that claim. In a 1977 appeal of a U.S. bank robbery conviction, a prosecuting attorney said in his closing argument[11] I submit to you that if you can't take this evidence and find these defendants guilty on this evidence then we might as well open all the banks and say, "Come on and get the money, boys", because we'll never be able to convict them.

Anxiety UK today joins other mental health charities in welcoming the Government's plans revealed yesterday to provide greater support to those affected by mental health issues. Waiting times and patient choice have been targeted in the Government's plans to put mental health treatment on a par with other care.
Patients will be given the right to choose where they are treated under the new plans. Crucially, patients will also be given the same waiting time targets as those with physical health problems, all in a bid to shift attitudes around mental health.
"We know how long waiting times can impact on a person's ability to be able to manage their anxiety," explains Nicky Lidbetter, Anxiety UK's chief executive. "By the time someone has sought help and support for their anxiety, waiting for months for an appointment with a therapist can make mental health problems more entrenched and difficult to manage. Seeing mental health as important as physical health by improving waiting times is a welcome step in the right direction."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who revealed the plan (Closing the Gap: Priorities for essential change in mental health), blames stigma and lack of understanding for the poor mental healthcare some have received.
"It's time for us to bring mental health out of the shadows and to give people with mental health conditions the support they need and deserve," he said yesterday.
Conditions like panic, anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) are more common than people think – affecting 1 in 4 people over the course of a year – and can be managed if treatment is sought early. According to the Centre for Mental Health, mental health problems cost the economy around £105 billion a year.
Also included in the plans are expanding talking therapies to 300,000 more patients, more support for children and investment of £43 million for pilot projects for better housing for people with mental health problems and learning difficulties.
If you or a loved one are experiencing anxiety, Anxiety UK provides access to reduced cost therapy within two weeks for members. For more information about how membership could help you, call our helpline on 08444 775 774 or click here.

The section of roadway on Peacock Road was closed by the department on Aug. 1. Fortner Street was closed on Monday, July 29 and was only supposed to be closed for two weeks.
Rain delays caused roadwork to Fortner Street, causing the roadway to remain closed until Aug. 14.

By Mark Petrie, Ph.D.
Fall 1962. Hunters willing to trade $3 for a duck stamp faced the most restrictive regulations in the history of waterfowl management. Those in the Mississippi Flyway found themselves restricted to a 23-day season and a two-bird limit. Hunters who insisted on shooting only mallards were required to retrieve their decoys after a single bird. That's right, a one-mallard limit! Selective or not, duck hunters in the Mississippi Flyway shot just three birds each on average that year but were not alone in his misery, as restricted seasons were enacted from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Fewer duck stamps were sold than at any time since 1939, when America was still in a 10-year vise of depression and drought. Waterfowlers reluctantly extended their fishing seasons, or turned their attention to deer. Hardware store owners complained of unwanted shells. Dogs paced. Spouses rejoiced.
How had it gotten this bad? Just three years before, hunters had enjoyed long seasons and generous bags.
The 1950s not only brought an economic boom to post-war America, the decade also delivered a string of wet years to the prairies breeding grounds. You could afford to hunt and there were ducks to be hunted. By 1959 all that changed. Winter storms that had reliably filled potholes for a decade now stayed bottled up in the Arctic. By 1961 the prairies were in the midst of a ferocious drought. Hunters with long memories nervously recalled the 1930s, wondering if they were facing another decade of dust and disappointment. In the end they would harvest just 4 million ducks in 1961, the lowest number ever recorded before or since.

Locite # 242 Blue.
Red State
June 7, 2010, 02:02 PM
Yup, Blue works fine and is very secure. I use it on base/mounts, but I dont use it on rings.
Should you need to remove the bases/mounts, just apply a little heat (I use a propane torch from a distance) and it loosens right up.
June 7, 2010, 02:35 PM
Pretty much anything you use loctite for will use the blue variety (and no, it doesn't have to be the actual brand, there are several other types). Just remember to let it set a bit. I attached an antenna to my motorcycle, and had to redo it because I didn't let it dry, and the antenna mount drooped over.
The red stuff if the really nasty compound, I've never had cause to use, and will result in you never getting anything apart. Don't use it if you don't absolutely need to.
June 7, 2010, 02:36 PM
Red 271 if you'll be leaving that scope on that mount/rifle, otherwise blue is better.
Ruger Redhawk
June 7, 2010, 02:42 PM
Red I believe #262 if I remember right you don't want to use period on a firearm. That stuff is way to powerful and you'd never get it back apart. I used it on a trailer Ball once. I heated it up and it still took allot of pounding from a 1/2 impact wrench.
Some say the Purple is okay but I have never tried it. Stick with the Blue 242 and you'll do fine. I've never had anything loosen up using it.

June 7, 2010, 05:44 PM
242 works great for most applications. You dont have to get a big bottle, a little tube will last you a good while.
Should you need to remove the bases/mounts, just apply a little heat (I use a propane torch from a distance) and it loosens right up.
Someone here once recommended a soldering iron.
June 7, 2010, 08:23 PM
^^Just don't use your mother's hairdryer, she gets mad. Same as when you use her iron... funny people, mothers. Haven't used them on loctite, but when you need heat, you gotta use what you have.

Red is good for automotive work - Suspension members, motor mounts, axle shafts - anything you wouldn't mind whacking with a real big hammer or heating up with a torch.
Funny thing though, the Blue Loctite (or off brand) can come in a red bottle.

I used all different types of Loctite for years. All of them came in the same Red bottle. Make sure what number you're using. I can't say if 242 is the only Blue Loctite but I believe it is.
June 7, 2010, 10:18 PM
If it is not new, give it a quick dip in acetone (some nail polish removers are acetone). This will get rid of any grease/oil that may be there and let it dry away.
Makes the Blue LocTite work better than if there were gunk around.

June 8, 2010, 05:27 AM
Blue. Only use red for things you NEVER want to come apart. Red Loctite must be heated to 300 degrees to get it to release. Blue Loctite can be broken with a little bit of elbow grease, but is sufficient to keep things from vibrating loose. Not gun-related, but blue Loctite also works wonders for sealing the threads of air fittings up to 1000 PSI or so.

Hummm...And I have been using "Low Strength" 222 for years. It's red.
June 8, 2010, 09:38 AM
I use the wifes nail polish....it's the same stuff.
June 8, 2010, 11:33 AM
I use purple (222, low-strength) for all my scope/ring/base screws. Loctite recommends purple for fasteners smalled than 1/4". I've never had a screw vibrate loose, and also never had a problem removing a screw.
Big thumbs-up to cleaning the fastener with acetone or brake cleaner (or gun scrubber, if you want it expensively cleaned :) ) first before applying the loctite. It bonds a lot better if it's got clean metal to stick to.
June 8, 2010, 11:34 AM
When I went to replace my old depleted bottle of Loctite 242, the Ace hardware didn't have that brand . . . I've now got Permatex "medium strength threadlocker blue" and it's he same stuff. Apparently, the numbers seem to be a generic formula designation that works across brands. Get 242 or blue, and it will be fine.
June 8, 2010, 02:29 PM
i use blue

I used the red stuff on a Colt Navy where the arbor pin came loose. Subsequently I had to get it off again because I had left it one turn too far out. Heated it with a gas torch and it came loose.
June 9, 2010, 11:34 AM
This may help you out http://www.type2.com/library/chemicals/loctite.htm
Note that there are 15 different "blue" and 13 different "red" loctite formulas.
There is a lot more to it than "red", "blue" etc. even with the same manufacture different compounds use the same die color and certainly with different brands you will have vastly different compounds with the same color. Personally I almost never use thread locker on bases and never on rings and have had exactly zero come loose in decades. I have however seen a lot of damage caused by the use of thread lockers on the small screws common on firearms.

June 9, 2010, 11:48 AM
I use Blue 242 on my M1 gas cylinders that are just a tad loose instead of peening the splines (I 'peen only if they won't tighten up with the 242). I don't routinely remove them, but if I do, it's a simple re-do, and I haven't had one come loose from shooting yet. Loctite says the blue "removes with hand tools" and that has been my experience - haven't needed heat yet.
June 9, 2010, 10:39 PM
For scope bases and ring's there is no need to use locktite in the first place.Have never had a scope come loose yet.

You will sooner or later.I guess you've been lucky. I agree you don't put it on the rings but the base it's highly recommended . I hope you don't miss a nice shot because your base worked loose.
I'll continue to use Loctite on mine.

Buy ZZYZX's Book!
Posted 2 years ago by Lemuria - 6 comments Link: http://phi.sh/b/53a9fb34
We've known him as ZZYZX (a monicker he adopted from a southwestern road name for his persona on Phish.net and elsewhere), the guy with the (original) Phish Stats site (and don't miss IHOZ more generally, nor the related page on Facebook), "The Timer" (for recording song lengths, stopwatch and clipboard in hand), and David Steinberg (his birthname, or what we know of it). Now, we know him as author.
David's This Has All Been Wonderful - A Travel Monologue from Summer 1994: The Year Phish Became Phish was released in late April. And ever since Relix dropped a bomb of an excerpt May 7, reviews have been raves, with ratings on Amazon higher than for Puterbaugh's quasi-official Biography (4.5 vs 4.3; gotta have the stats!)
Unlike most of what you may know from him, it's not (much) about stats, but about the man and the experiences. It's a great, smooth read, about a lost time in Phish fandom. Plus, a portion of sales support the non-profit, volunteer-run Mockingbird Foundation. All for only nine bucks!!
If you liked this blog post, one way you could "like" it is to make a donation to The Mockingbird Foundation, the sponsor of Phish.net. Support music education for children, and you just might change the world.

I Need You by LeAnn Rimes
Last year, between lawsuits, LeAnn Rimes announced that she was working on a pop-leaning new album, one that would mark the beginning of a new era in her career.
This is not that album.
No, I Need You is more of a clearing house, with four soundtrack songs from the last two years and six previously unreleased tunes of uncertain vintage.
That said, how you feel about I Need You will largely depend on whether you see LeAnn's shift toward pop as a positive development. Most of the songs have only a tenuous connection to country. Last summer's pop hit "Can't Fight The Moonlight," in particular, wouldn't be out of place on a Britney Spears album.
But if genre worries don't bother you too much, there's much to enjoy on I Need You. Taken out of its former religious context, the title track works fine as a simple, yearning love song—in fact, every song here is about love lost, found or persisting.
"Can't Fight The Moonlight," one of three tracks penned by award-winning songwriter Diane Warren, is still a grabber, and "One Of These Days" is a disarmingly dramatic breakup number.
While the songs are all solid, the star—as always—is LeAnn herself. Throughout the album, she brings out all the supple curves and corners of her marvelous voice with both power and restraint.
The now 18-year-old LeAnn isn't a child prodigy anymore, and I Need You is an encouraging sign that the little girl who sang "Blue" is ready to stand on her own.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are going to have trouble winning games if they don't have players on the court. Of course, they'll have players on the court, but they have been missing starters. Last night, the Wolves were without three players - Nikola Pekovic, Brandon Roy, and J.J. Barea.
According to Jon Krawcynzki of ESPN.com, Brandon Roy hopes to play Friday, but it doesn't seem likely. Pekovic and Barea should return soon, but they don't have an exact date. The team as a whole has six players currently injured.
Roy, is battling a sore knee. This is especially troubling considering his history. Roy breifly retired because of continued issues with his knee. Now, he is hoping to return soon, but he understands the unpredictability of a knee injury.
"Since it is my knee, we all know they're not 100 percent," Roy said. "Anytime I have something in that area, it's always a little concerning. I just try not to think about it that much and just try to get better. Coach and the team they all tell me to just keep taking my time. Nobody's putting any extra pressure on me."The Timberwolves, surprisingly, are 5-2 on the season. Even without six players, they have managed to win games. That will be difficult to maintain with the litany of injuries they've suffered. The team should get Pekovic, Roy, and Barea back soon, and they'll need them.

Agri Leader
Ag expo unifies farms, shares ideas
AGRI-CULTURE "Farming ain't for sissies." I can't take credit for that quote, but boy it sure rings true. Challenges that Florida farmers face include international competition, stifling regulation, rising business costs, labor concerns, urban encroachment, and pests-and if that isn't enough, there's always the threat of bad weather wiping out the crops.The quote was on a presentation slide during the Florida Ag Expo, an annual event held last week at the University of Florida/Institute of Food and Agricultural Services, Gulf Coast Research and Education Center in Balm. During a discussion on the challenges and opportunities in Florida agriculture, a few themes emerged from the panelists. First, finding and keeping good farmers and farm workers keeps this crowd up at night. When you tell young people about farming's 24/7 schedule, it doesn't usually get them flocking to the door. Michael Hill of Lakeshore Growers in Clermont, the youngest of the four panelists, said he always felt drawn to farming - his family business - but knows he's the exception. "You almost have to go work at a big corporation or be born into it," he said. Yet the heavy role that technology now plays in farming can help attract the younger generation to the business, said Paul Orsenigo, of Grower's Management Inc., in Belle Glade. Panelist Jamie Williams, who works for the large tomato grower Lipman in Immokalee, noted that he sees well-educated young people trained in areas like computer technology and plant physiology who are in the business. They may not do the day-to-day grunt work, but they are part of the staff at commercial farming businesses. Ultimately, farmers need to mentor those in the younger generation who are interested in farming to make sure they will continue to enter the business, said Tom O'Brien of C & D Fruit & Vegetable Company in Bradenton. On the other side of the labor coin, the panelists fretted about the tenuous state of immigration reform and how it could affect the many farm workers that they constantly need. They noted that there simply aren't enough workers in the United States to do the work that needs to get done on farms. Another big challenge for Florida farmers is competition from countries like Mexico and Chile, both of which can provide cheaper produce for retailers to sell. It will take farmers educating consumers about the value of what U.S.-based farmers have to offer, such as a fresher product. "We're almost trying to bypass the retailer and get to the consumers," said O'Brien, noting that this is not always an easy thing to do. Hill, a blueberry farmer, shared the story of some retailers who won't buy Florida blueberries till April 1, even though Hill's farm might pick their berries as early as the second or third week of March. "Those retailers will buy fruit from Chile that's been on a boat for three weeks, and ours was just picked," he said. That's an ideal example of why farmers need to do a better job of getting their message out better to consumers. The use of social media for marketing came up several times. Although three of the four panelists do not use Facebook, they all acknowledged the value of direct-to-consumer marketing via social media. Social media marketing that targets certain population groups-such as moms who make food purchases for their families-is a way to potentially boost business and get the word out about the benefits of Florida agriculture, said Hill. Direct-to-consumer marketing, farm field trips, school-based education, and participation in local farmers' markets will help teach adults and children about the health benefits of Florida agriculture and where to buy the state's ag products, the panelists said. Growers should get out the message that they have the healthiest fruits and vegetables in the world - and that most of us need to eat more of them, O'Brien said. The Florida Ag Expo was presented by Florida Grower magazine, the University of Florida, Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, Florida Strawberry Growers Association, and Florida Tomato Committee. In my column next week, I'll share more news and tidbits from the expo.

Game Info
GAME NAME: F1 Race Stars
DEVELOPER(S): Codemasters
PUBLISHER(S): Codemasters
GENRE(S): Arcade, Racing
RELEASE DATE(S): 13 November 2012
You're on the starting grid, you can hear the massive V8 engine growling beneath you, desperate to release its fury and destroy the tarmac. Suddenly all that power is rushed to the wheels that release a high pitched squeal as you thrust forward at a ridiculous high speed. The other drivers around you are in your rear view mirror, for a brief moment you feel like a true F1 Race driver. Until the first corner where you fly off the tarmac and smash into a tire barrier because you hit the brakes much too late, and were travelling as fast as a supersonic jet mid flight. Bits of your car are now sprinkled everywhere like expensive Ferrari confetti, and your opponents begin to lap you as you try find the track. If any of this sounds like you when playing an F1 racing simulation, then F1 Race Stars is for you.
Developers Codemaster are no strangers to the asphalt, with many racing titles under their collective belt. The fact that they have tried something off the simulation track is refreshing. However this is a cart racing game and there are certain things that do not work in a cart racing game. Consider the way that they have managed the handling of the cars. We know that this game is by no means a simulation of the sport and in real life an F1 car would only drift if they were spiralling out of control or being driven by one of the G3AR members. But not having the ability to drift your cars around the comical themed tracks in a cart game is like going to a Linkin Park concert with ear plugs. It feels off and you get the feeling that your car is going to drift around a tight bend all the time, but instead your wheels are glued to the track. The handling feels like an almost sneeze and is just as irritating.
It wouldn't be allowed to call itself F1 Race Stars if it didn't have some of Formula 1's most famous faces. All of the sport's biggest names are here from Fernando Alonso to Sebastian Vettel, sporting heads almost as big as their real life egos. The cartoonish style looks great with drivers looking like caricature bobble heads and with all their little quirks captured nicely. The 11 tracks share the same cartoonish style as the drivers and parody their real world counterparts, with famous landmarks making appearances. The tracks are fun the first few times but since there's only 11 of them you'll burn through them pretty quick.
Of course another fundamental in the great book of what makes a great kart racing game are the crazy weapons. F1 Race Stars has some interesting ways in dealing with your opponents. You pick up weapons on the track by driving over illuminated stars. Then the weapons quickly cycle by in the left hand corner until the player stops it, like a slot machine of weaponry awesomeness. You can trap other drivers in bubbles or even transform your car in to an unstoppable missile that lets you storm past opponents. One of the most irritating to fall victim to are the balloons filled with confetti that fill up your screen, making it hard to see. The weapons add most of the fun factor to the game but are not as unique when compared to other karting titles.
The most enjoyment out of a karting game is found in taking on your friends in some split screen action. This is where you will get the most miles out of F1 Race Stars, as the AI is brain dead and not nearly as fun as taking out your buddies. However kart fans seem to be spoilt for choice with karting titles this year and unfortunately F1 Race Stars is not in pole position.
The F1 references are great, as is the chance to play as your favourite drivers. But the small selection of tracks and features makes it feel like it should have been a downloadable title on one of the market places. Karting fans will most likely get more kicks out of the recently reviewed Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed. Unless you have a Ferrari-themed duvet cover and live and breathe F1, this title might have you only going a few laps before being disqualified for sleeping at the wheel.

Nine elderly Irish women, survivors of the Magdalene Laundries now living in the United States, will not receive the health care coverage recommended in Justice John Quirke's 2013 Magdalene Commission Report.
Contrary to Justice Quirk's recommendation that all Magdalene survivors be afforded a medical card or equivalent health coverage, the Irish government announced this week that health benefits will only be given to survivors currently living in Ireland.
It's believed the decision to restrict health care coverage will impact differently depending on where the women now live. Survivors in Britain – where over 100 have applied to the scheme – may already be well served by the UK's national health service.
"But it's a very different prospect for women living here in the United States," says James M. Smith, an associate professor at the English department and Irish studies program at Boston College and longtime campaigner on behalf of Magdalene survivors.
Smith, the author of 'Ireland's Magdalen Laundries and the Nation's Architecture of Containment,' gave an example of one Magdalene Laundry woman.
He was first contacted by the 79-year-old Magdalene survivor after she read his book in 2008.
"This is a women who at 79 years of age relies on charity. A family who knew her in Boston in the 1970's moved her to the midwest. They pay her rent and have helped her with her health insurance. Butt she can't afford to make up the shortfall and she doesn't want to tell them, for fear of becoming more of burden than she already is.
"What this means is that at 79 she cannot afford the $22 dollars it costs to buy her multivitamins. For her a lump sum payment is well and good, as she might be entitled to somewhere south of $50,000. But the fact is that's a weeks hospitalization here."
Justice Quirke's report was submitted to the government in May and published on June 26. After that date Magdalene survivors could apply to the scheme for financial assistance. A lump sum payment was recommended by the report, with the sum determined by the number of years or duration of stay of each woman in a Magdalene Laundry, with payments ranging from a minimum payment of between €10,000 and €12,000 ($13,500 - $16,000) up to a maximum of €1100,000 ($150,000).
"The Irish government announced this week that nine Magdalene survivors living in the US have applied for assistance. All will be denied health coverage. The survivor here in the U.S. that I am very familiar with, and on whose behalf I've previously lobbied the government, is now in her late 70's and living with medical issues and experiencing pain on a daily basis.
"She will receive her lump sum entitlement and she will receive a statutory old age pension, as she is entitled to having worked in a Magdalene laundry for a number of years, but she will not have her health care paid for and this was something that was recommended by the Quirk report," Smith said.
The Irish government accepted the Quirke report in full and in principle, Smith adds. "But this week the Irish Minister for Justice Alan Shatter, in response to a question from Independent Minister Deputy Maureen O'Sullivan in the Irish parliament, seems to have moved away from that commitment."
The first recommendation in Quirke's report states that all Magdalene women should have access to the equivalent full range of services currently enjoyed by holders of the Health Amendment Act 1996 Card (HAA Card). The card entitles its holder to extensive health services equivalent to those provided to the holder of a HAA Card. It was recommended it should be given to each woman who worked in a designated Magdalene laundry.
"There is no language in Justice Quirke's report that qualifies their entitlement in terms of people living in Ireland and people living outside of Ireland," Smith says.
But in a statement on Tuesday Shatter wrote: "In line with the recommendation of Justice Quirke these services will be provided in this state." Shatter's response came a week after Deputy O'Sullivan called the Irish Department of Justice on Smith's behalf to make specific enquiries about the 79-year-old Irish survivor who now lives in the midwest.
"O'Sullivan was told that this woman would qualify for the lump sum payment before Christmas (once she signs a waiver that stipulates she will not attempt to sue the State). She will also receive a pension, but she will not be receiving a Health Card (HAA CARD) or its equivalent."
Recognizing that some former Magdalene Laundry women now live in other jurisdictions including the U.S., Canada, Australia and other countries, Quirke wrote in May: "Although my terms of reference do not refer to those women, the observations I have made apply with equal force to their circumstances, their tax liabilities and the social and other benefits to which they are entitled."

Willie Nelson and Louis Armstrong made it famous in song.
"Flowers drop and sigh ... You're much sweeter ... Honeysuckle rose."
With 200 species of honeysuckle, finding them around the countryside should not be too difficult. The bush honeysuckle are deciduous shrubs with long arching branches that usually grow 6 to 20 feet.
"I love honeysuckle, but it's very invasive," said Master Gardener Nancy Jenkins, 62, of Marietta. "Be careful where you plant it, it acclimates. Either you have to bury down 6 inches or plant it in pots. It's very pretty, and I love the smell of it in the spring."
For a nature lover, honeysuckle is a magnet for humming birds, bumble bees and fruit-eating birds.
"You will either like them or dislike them," said Joan Fontaine, a 69-year-old Belpre resident and Master Gardener.
The flowers have all gone, taking the colors with them, but the vines will remain through the remainder of the summer and into the fall, Fontaine said.
However, Fontaine said the honeysuckle is not as annoying as other plants such as multiflora rose, which seems to anger more people when it appears on their property.
Invasive plants can be found in forested areas across the state. Those plants also affect the health of the trees.
From multiflora rose to Ailanthus (or tree-of-heaven) to kudzu, the list of non-native invasive plants seems to be ever-growing.
"(Honeysuckle is) kind of like a vine," Greenleaf Landscaping employee Hannah Lang, 18. "If it has area to cover, it will in the woods. You can see it going up a tree."
Several methods are available to rid a property of honeysuckle.
Lang suggested a product that kills the plant and sterilizes the soil for a year.
A more active approach, Fontaine said she learned years ago to soak the soil in the area of ground where the honeysuckle needs to be removed and use pruning shears at a 45-degree angle and chop them up, even the roots.
Jenkins said she prefers to mow it down as close to the ground as possible and cover it with a weed-preventing cloth.
Although the plant can spoil someone's yard or cause some blood, sweat and tears, honeysuckle can be used in more joyful occasions, Fontaine said.
Some people like eating the flower or making tea or sorbet out of it. It can also be added to frosted cakes because it is edible.

China, Fighting 'Porn,' to Restrict Medical Information on Internet
As China expands efforts to clamp down on access to Google and other Web sites it claims are spreading pornography, it appears that the Chinese Health Ministry has now gotten involved.
The ministry is issuing "sharp restrictions" on Internet access for medical research papers on sexual topics, according to the New York Times. Earlier this week, the ministry posted regulations requiring medical-information providers to restrict access to such articles, or face penalties of as much as $4,400 and potential criminal prosecution, the NYT says.
The ministry says its new rules are intended to improve accuracy of all medical-health Web sites, and are part of broader regulations that will take effect July 1, according to the WSJ. Only government-approved medical institutions will be able to provide information about sexual topics on the Internet after that point.
China says its interest in protecting young people from pornography is the reason for its broader crackdown on Internet access, including its mandate to makers of PCs that new computers sold in the country as of July 1 must have Web-filtering software installed. U.S. trade officials are calling on China to revoke the mandate.

September 27, 2012 - The Honda Foundation, a public-interest incorporated foundation created by Honda Motor's founder Soichiro Honda and his younger brother Benjiro Honda and currently headed by Hiroto Ishida, is pleased to announce the Honda Prize 2012 will be awarded to Dr. Denis Le Bihan for his leading role in establishing the Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Diffusion MRI) modality as a universal method to study and diagnose acute stroke and other neurological disorders. The Founding Director of France's NeuroSpin for Ultrahigh Field MRI, Dr. Le Bihan also teaches at Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine's Human Brain Research Center. Dr. Le Bihan is the 33rd laureate of the Honda Prize*1.
Dr. Denis Le Bihan is a pioneer of the Diffusion MRI concept from theorization of water diffusion measurement by MRI to its application in clinical practice, and his innovative imaging techniques have rapidly spread throughout the world. Combined with the advance of intravenous thrombolytic therapy, Diffusion MRI has spared many patients suffering acute stroke by drastically shortening the time required for diagnosis within just minutes to a few hours after the stroke onset, when brain tissue is still salvageable. Crisp Diffusion MRI images also facilitate the diagnosis of other neurological diseases and the determination of the extent of tumor dissection before performing surgery, leading to a drastic decline in the risk of damaging white matter fibers associated with bodily function during surgical procedures.
Indeed, Diffusion MRI has also become a powerful tool to map the wiring of the brain, which has been on the front line of modern neuroscience research, especially in such related field as cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, and neuroeconomics. The Diffusion MRI technology is opening up new lines of inquiry to investigate faulty brain connections associated to brain illnesses, such as aging and neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson's disease), mental health disorders (autism, schizophrenia), addiction and other neurological diseases, because by analyzing Diffusion MRI images one can determine exactly which and how nerve fibers are lost or damaged in the brain due to these disorders.
Another promising application of Diffusion MRI includes early detection of tumors and metastases as diffusion of water in cancer lesions (liver, prostate, breast) is deeply affected.
The principles and measurement techniques underlying Diffusion MRI are rooted in the classic formula proposed for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) by E. O. Stejskal and J. E. Tanner in 1965. Dr. Le Bihan studied NMR imaging intensively and suggested that diffusional movements of water and other molecules inside the body could be used to visualize microscopic structure and function of the organs and tissues being observed with MRI. Dr. Le Bihan devised the Diffusion MRI method for clinical practice by noninvasively visualizing behavior of water diffusion inside the brain when water molecules move in a strong magnetic field gradient.
Dr. Le Bihan's Diffusion MRI method has spread across the world for the immediate treatment of acute stroke and other neurological disorders and has saved large number of lives. The Honda Foundation believes his services to society are appropriate for the Honda Prize as an embodiment of the ideals of ecotechnology*2.
The 33rd award ceremony for the Honda Prize will be held at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo on November 19th, 2012. In addition to the prize medal and certificate, sub-prize money of 10 million yen will be awarded to the laureate.

Saint John (Spanish: San Juan ; Dutch: Sint Hans; French: Saint-Jean ; Danish: Sankt Jan) is one of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea and a constituent district of the United States Virgin Islands (USVI), an unincorporated territory of the United States.
At 50 km2 the smallest of the three main US Virgin Islands, Saint John is located about four miles east of Saint Thomas, the location of the territory's capital, Charlotte Amalie. It is also four miles southwest of Tortola, part of the British Virgin Islands. Its largest settlement is Cruz Bay with a population of 2,700. St John's nickname is Love City.
Since 1956, approximately 60% of the island is protected as Virgin Islands National Park, administered by the United States National Park Service.[citation needed] The economy is based on tourism.[citation needed]
Saint John is 50.8 km² (19.61 sq mi) in area with a population of 4,170 (2010 census).[1] As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the total population of the US Virgin Islands territory was 106,405,[2] comprising mostly persons of Afro-Caribbean descent.[1][2]

Saint John was first settled by the Taíno Indians who migrated north from coastal areas of present-day Colombia and Venezuela around AD 300. The Arawak inhabited the island until around the year AD 1300, when they were driven off by the more aggressive and warlike Carib. Extensive archaeological work started in 1996 at Cinnamon Bay. The artifacts from this dig are being studied and are expected to yield more detailed information on pre-Columbian civilization in the US Virgin Islands.
Explorer Christopher Columbus, traveling on behalf of the Spanish Crown, is credited with being the first European to see the Virgin Islands in 1493, during his second voyage to the New World. A Catholic, he named the group of numerous islands as Once Mil Virgenes (Eleven Thousand Virgins), in honor of the feast day of Saint Ursula and the 11,000 virgins who were martyred with her.
Colonization and settlement[edit]
The Danish West India and Guinea Company represented the first Europeans to settle the island in 1718. They are also credited with naming the island Saint John (Danish: Sankt Jan). The Danish crown took full control of this and nearby colonies in 1754, including those founded on the similarly named islands of Saint Thomas and Saint Croix.
Sugar cane plantations, such as the famous Annaberg Sugar Plantation, were established in great numbers on Saint John; the intense heat and fertile soil provided ideal growing conditions. The establishment of sugarcane plantations created a high demand for labor. The indigenous Carib and Arawak were used as slave labor but their population was quickly decimated by new infectious diseases.
The planters imported many slaves from Africa in an established slave trade dominated by Portugal in the early years, but which Britain also entered. In 1733 Saint John was the site of one of the first significant slave rebellions in the New World. Enslaved Akwamu from the Gold Coast rebelled and took control of the island for six months before being defeated by a combination of better armed forces.
The Danish defeated the enslaved Africans with help from French colonists of Martinique. Instead of submitting to captivity and slavery, more than a dozen men and women shot and killed themselves before the French forces reached them. It is estimated that by 1775, slaves outnumbered the Danish settlers on Saint John by a ratio of 5:1. Denmark finally abolished slavery in Saint John and its other islands on July 3, 1848.
In 1917, during the First World War, the United States purchased the U.S. Virgin Islands for $25 million from the Danish government in order to establish a naval base. It was intended to prevent expansion of the German Empire in the Western Hemisphere. As part of the negotiations for this deal, the US agreed to recognize Denmark's claim to Greenland, which they had previously disputed.
During the 20th century, private investors acquired properties on the island, redeveloping some plantation houses as vacation resorts, such as Laurence Rockefeller's Caneel Bay Resort. The islands became popular and tourism and related service jobs developed as a major part of the economy.

Since 1917, the U.S. Virgin Islands are an organized, unincorporated territory of the United States. Its residents are U.S. citizens, but they cannot vote in presidential elections.
Until 1970, governors of the territory were appointed by the US President. Since that year, residents of the island have elected a territorial governor and lieutenant governor, and fifteen senators to the legislature, representing all three islands. Seven are elected from the district of Saint Croix, seven from the district of Saint Thomas and Saint John, and one senator at-large (who must be a resident of Saint John) are elected for two-year terms to the unicameral Virgin Islands Legislature.
Residents of the Virgin Islands also elect a delegate to the US Congress, who has non-voting status in that body.
Saint John has no local government; however, the Governor appoints an administrator for the island. Having no official powers, this figure acts more as an adviser to the Governor and as a spokesperson for the Governor's policies.
The main political parties in the U.S. Virgin Islands are the Democratic Party of the Virgin Islands, the Independent Citizens Movement (ICM), and the Republican Party of the Virgin Islands. Additional candidates run as independents.
Virgin Islands National Park[edit]
In 1956, Laurance Rockefeller donated his extensive lands on the island to the United States' National Park Service, under the condition that the lands had to be protected from future development. The remaining portion, the Caneel Bay Resort, operates on a lease arrangement with the NPS, which owns the underlying land.
The boundaries of the Virgin Islands National Park include 75% of the island, but various in-holdings within the park boundary (e.g., Peter Bay, Maho Bay) reduce the park lands to 60% of the island acreage.
Much of the island's waters, coral reefs, and shoreline have been protected by being included in the national park. This protection was expanded in 2001, when the Virgin Islands Coral Reef National Monument was created.
Saint John is divided into the following subdistricts (with population as per the 2010 U.S. Census):
Activists filed a lawsuit on September 20, 2011 in the federal US District Court of the Virgin Islands seeking the right to be represented in Congress and to vote for U.S. President. The case is Civil No. 3:11-cv-110, Charles v. U.S. Federal Elections Commission et al. The case alleges the 1917 Congress, with all-white members, denied the right to vote to island residents due to racial discrimination, as the island had a majority of people of color. The case was dismissed on August 20, 2012.[3]
The main export of Saint John used to be sugar cane, which was produced in great quantity using African and Indian slave labor. However, this industry declined after the abolition of slavery, when it became dependent on free labor. In addition, in that period, it had to compete with sugar produced in other areas, including by the use of sugar beets in northern locations.[citation needed]
The economy of Saint John is now almost entirely founded on tourism and tourism-related industries, real estate development, guest houses, and hotels.[citation needed]
The waters surrounding the US Virgin Islands are patrolled by United States Coast Guard cutters out of Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.[citation needed]
While St. John does not have an airport, there is a seaplane base[4][5] in the town of Cruz Bay although there is no scheduled airline service. Antilles Airboats provided regular service until it was sold by Maureen O'Hara.[6] The Virgin Islands Seaplane Shuttle used to offer services to that seaplane base using Grumman Mallard air boats prior to Hurricane Hugo.[7][citation needed]
A ferry service runs hourly from St. Thomas and daily from Tortola; regular ferries also operate from Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and Anegada.[citation needed]
Major port-town[edit]
Cruz Bay has become the principal town on the island as it has the landing for the ferry service from St. Thomas, which became the main route of entry to the island. Previously, Coral Bay was the hub of economic activity on the island.[citation needed]
Its natural port offered protection to the sailing ships of the day. In addition, it was an easy sail by smaller boats, with minimal tacking, to the nearby British Virgin Islands. Until the late 20th century, the residents of Coral Bay and East End had easier and more frequent access to Tortola than did those of either Cruz Bay or St. Thomas.[citation needed]
According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Saint John has a resident population of 4,170 people, most of whom live in either Cruz Bay or Coral Bay on the eastern end of the island. However, being a U.S. territory, its population is not included in the overall U.S. population count.[citation needed]
St. Thomas-St. John School District operates schools for the island residents. Saint John has one public school, Julius E. Sprauve (JESS). Private and parochial schools include Gift Hill School (formerly Pine Peace and Coral Bay), Saint John Christian Academy, Saint John Methodist School, and the Saint John Montessori School.[citation needed]
The only school that includes a high school is Gift Hill, along with their programs in elementary and middle school. The only other middle school on the island is at 'JESS,' which also has an elementary program. Other schools are either age 3-3rd grade or k5-6th grade.[citation needed]

Ethel Walbridge McCully, the grandmother who went to Washington to ''raise a little hell'' on Capitol Hill in 1962, died Dec. 21 on St. John in the Virgin Islands in the home she successfully defended against condemnation by the National Park Service. She was 94 years old. Mrs. McCully was a secretary in New York City in 1947 when, on one of her frequent trips to the Caribbean, she first saw the island of St. John. She swam ashore with a basketful of belongings because the captain of her English cruise ship declined to dock at the then undeveloped island. Mrs. McCully, a small, outspoken woman, bought four acres, designed her dream house and spent 11 years struggling with suppliers, boat captains and workmen to build it. She described her tribulations in a book entitled Grandma Raised the Roof. Her home, called Island Fancy, was jeopardized in 1962 by a clause in a Congressional bill calling for the enlargement of the Virgin Islands National Park. The clause would have let the National Park Service acquire land on the island by condemnation. With other island homeowners, Mrs. McCully lobbied to get the provision struck from the bill. Some years ago, Mrs. McCully reluctantly sold the house to the Park Service with the proviso that she would have life tenancy.

Three passengers involved in a single car accident Monday morning
in the northbound lanes of Interstate 59 near the Savoy exit were reported in good condition.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol said the vehicle apparently ran over a metal rod, blew a tire and crashed into trees in the median.
State Trooper Johnny Knox said the accident would have been much worse if the occupants had not been wearing seat belts.
"This is a clear use of seatbelts. If they'd not been wearing their
seatbelts they could have been seriously injured," said Knox.
Local law enforcement officers say they are monitoring holiday traffic closely.

Take a pulsing bass. Add some menacing laughter. Throw in a cowbell or three (gotta have more cowbell). Add a dash of piano and some guitar feedback. Cook for precisely one minute, slowly building to a cacophony. That's pretty much "Title Track," the eighth track on The Siket Disc. "Title Track" has not yet found its way to the Phish stage.

Skeptics Guide was my intro into critical thinking podcasts and really got me going on rationality in general. I've avoided getting into the details but given how much this entire situation has blown up I can't help but finally dig in. I have to say, and I really have zero concern for which box people might try to force me into, I've been disappointed in the arguments coming from the camp raising major concerns about misogyny/privileged atheists. In these debates, saying something like that would immediately be twisted into accusing one of being a misogyny apologist and doing that is very poor argumentation.ReplyDelete
