1. Arizona Amendment Legislation to Legalize recreational possession and use of Marijuana 2016
A petition was filed to allow for circulation on April 17th, 2015. ALL LEGALIZATION go through the initiative process. This may appear on November 8, 2016 ballot in Arizona as an initiative state statute.
We the undersigned need to push for approval to Legalize the possession and consumption of Marijuana by persons who are 21 years of age or older. People permitted to grow 6 plants in their homes. Taxes will be enforced 15% to be levied for the sales of Marijuana, revenue from tax would be allocated to education and health care.
Initiative proponents need to collect 160,000 signatures by JULY 7TH 2016. TO MAKE THE MEASURE LAND ON OUR BALLOT ELECTIONS TO VOTE FOR THIS TO BE LEGALLY PRIVILEGED RRECREATIONAL for citizens with regulations and age restrictions.
2. Bring HB 3785 to a vote - Texas Needs Medicine
The fate of hundreds of thousands of patients in Texas are in the hands of Rep Myra Crownover and the Public Health Committee she chairs. The facts about the medicinal benefits of medical marijuana are known to her Committee. The only unknown facts are the ones that are influencing her decision to delay HB 3785.
The bill will allow patients with cancer, seizure disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other debilitating conditions to access medical marijuana if their doctors recommend it. And it would establish a tightly regulated system of licensed marijuana cultivators, processors, and dispensaries to qualified applicants.
Thousands of patients in Texas are needlessly suffering because they have no access medical marijuana. Right now patients face fleeing the state or participating in the criminal market to simply access the medicine that works for them. It's cruel and it's time for reform.
We can't do it without you. Stand with seriously ill Texans and urge your legislators to approve safe and legal access to medical marijuana.
Please contact Rep. Crownover today and ask her to bring the bill to a vote!
It has been done for, but not limited to, the following reasons:
It would allow vets, as recognized identifiers, to confirm ownership once scanning has been completed.
It also has the potential to discover any stolen pets.
It would give breeders the choice of either reclaiming or re-homing a pet if it has been surrendered, abandoned or lost.
This has the potential to uncover any breeders/sellers who are either unsuitable themselves or who are selling to unsuitable buyers.

4. Support Gender Identity Non-Discrimination Legislation in Wisconsin
Today, 18 states and the District of Columbia have surpassed Wisconsin in the enactment of vital protections for the transgender community.
Sign to show your support in the pursuit of non-discrimination legislation and move Wisconsin forward to equal rights for all.
Feel free to contact the author with any and all questions you may have.
Thank you for your time and support.
5. Support Spiritual Crimes Legislation
Many protective laws against the use of malicious witchcraft remain stricken from the books. That is a travesty of justice because it denies the true criminal nature and intent of those who practice it to harm and manipulate others.
This results in helping it remain under the radar of law enforcement when perpetrators use it to hurt others and those people need the help of resources and laws that protect them.
6. Regulate the Domestic Use of Spy & Terminator Drones -- Allow Voter control of SkyNet
ADS-B is the new form of GPS-based radio beacon required for most aircraft operating in American skies by January 1, 2020. This new system enables precise tracking of all aircraft and will be required also for drones. As such, it is also the greatest point of vulnerability and leash against future SkyNet and Terminator bots run rampant on U.S. soil.
This petition calls upon the President, House, and Senate to enact law requiring a system for voters at local, state, and federal levels to control the use of drones in American skies.
The simplest and most reasonable solution is for voters and community planners everywhere to GIS designate boundaries, no fly zones, authorized airspace, operation times, emergency conditions, and operational conditions for any unmanned aircraft activity.
Through legislation that the Federal Aviation Administration must record all such ADS-B data and share it publicly, the ability of voters and governmental agencies to monitor, litigate, and prosecute any violations of law is enabled.
This petition calls for a bill to further empower the Federal Aviation Administration with supremacy over all law enforcement flight operations -- making any drone flights outside of boundaries and controls set by the voter to be federally illegal and subject to enforcement action by the FAA, which may include revocation of Certificate of Waiver (COA) to operate such drones and other penalties.
Anti-drone legislation exists in the states of New Jersey, Oregon, Florida, Texas, Idaho, Montana, and Virginia. What is further needed to leash the drones at their weakest point is: 1) Software reporting of their position; 2) Litigation and Prosecution where operations exceed boundaries, limits, and manner set by public will.
This petition also calls for a bill to further clarify that the desire of a police state to use airborne drones in any form of attack upon American citizens -- lethal or non-lethal (tear gas, rubber bullets, deployed nets, etc.)-- is a clear violation of existing FAA regulations that no aircraft operator may engage in hazardous operations or the dropping of objects upon the public (14 CFR 91.15).
This petition seeks to return authority over American skies -- the Public Use Airspace; the citizen's airspace -- back where it belongs: to the public, the FAA, pilots, and manned air traffic.
7. Breed specific ban VS sexual predator acceptance
8. Stop Abortion being legalised in Ireland
The majority of Irish citizens firmly hold that the sanctity of the life of each unborn child in Ireland be protected.
9. Take affirmative action in changing firearm legislation
In the wake of this attack many families and friends are left to mourn their losses. All the way across the world I cannot be there to comfort them in our arms but we can help sign this petition and take it to the US Government and force change.
10. Reverse Ontario Anti-Strike Legislation
I am not a teacher and do not work in the education sector but I know that there are two things that Ontarians need to fight for - One is health care and the other is EDUCATION!
11. Australians against Government censorship
We can either sit back and watch this Legislation be abused to a point where a Government will have a complete profile on each of us, or we can act now and ensure even if this Gillard regime doesn't reverse it, the Coalition is left with no doubt we do not want it and we expect them to reverse it if they win the next election.
The book 1984 had the administration divided among four Ministries:
the Ministry of Truth, which deals with news, entertainment, education and fine arts,
the Ministry of Love which maintains law and order,
the Ministry of Peace which wages war and the
Ministry of Plenty which handles economic affairs.
The very vocabulary of the people was under Party Control; a system called "newspeak" was encouraged. One of the most dreaded words in the arsenal of Newspeak was the most heinous offence according to the Party – that of "thoughtcrime" which was sure to be punished by the Thought police.
The slogans of Newspeak are "War is Peace" Freedom is Slavery" and "Ignorance is Strength."
12. Support a Student Bill of Rights
Students in the United States are blessed to have legal rights, freedoms and protections. These include constitutional, civil, contract, consumer rights and rights specific to higher education. They are scattered, however, through a number of legal documents and court decisions making it hard for students to find them.
Please sign this petition for the creation of a National Student Bill of Rights which clearly states what rights exist to protect students and how they are applied in institutions of higher education.
It doesn't matter which country you live in or where you are from, please, show your support. Press the sign petition button at the bottom of the page. You have nothing to lose and students have everything to gain.
13. Petition to Change Criteria to Receive Canada Pension Plan Survivor Benefits
This 47 year old legislation does not allow a survivor under the age of 35, unless they are disabled or have children, to be eligible to receive these benefits until they reach the age of 65. For 31 years they are not entitled to receive CPP Survivor Benefits.
In particular, it confirms the importance of motherhood and fatherhood and seeks to protect children's biological identity.
15. Enough is Enough - NYS-County Medicaid Boycott
The State must take action to take financial responsibility for the program in an effort to lower property taxes in New York State.
Until the State takes responsibility for this burdensome program we are advocating that Counties withhold Medicaid payments made to the State of New York.
Objective: Passage of a bill that requires the State to take over the funding of Medicaid.
Strategy: Build a Coalition of support to withhold Medicaid payments to New York State through the Boycott Petition.
[11/17 Update: In Chautauqua County, the Tea Party Chapter and friends are also circulating a paper petition. This is especially important for those that support the effort but are not online. At present they've collected over 300 signatures. To download a copy usable in any county, go to "www.sttpp.wordpress.com"]
16. Freedom To Brew and Distribute in Florida
This "3-tier system" creates an oligopoly and goes directly against the concept of an open and free market system. While over 30 other states have a right to self-distribute, Florida does not.
Therefore, we are petitioning for an amendment to the regulations over beer manufacturers and the creation of a third type of license for beer manufacturers that allows for different avenues of self-distribution.
17. Abolish breed-specific legislation and prevent innocent dogs from being destroyed
18. Support Pure Honey in New York State!
Answer: Say "yes" to pure honey!
Legislation is in the NYS legislature to define pure honey (S3321). Due to adulterated Chinese honey entering the US food stream, a more definitive description of pure honey is needed. This Bill is needed to protect the image of pure honey and to protect the consumer from adulterated honey or honey pretenders.
New York beekeepers also need a level playing field to compete with cheap adulterated imports by having an established reasonable standard for all products labeled "honey".
This legislation should not affect the majority of honey producers in New York, but may weed out and discourage those seeking to sell substandard honey in New York.
This legislation has the support of major beekeeping organizations in New York and is almost identical to the California standard of identity for honey, which has been in place since 2009.

19. Pass Bill C-393 now and save lives
three decades, greatly facilitated by the expanding
influence of neoliberalism in international economic politics,
has advanced the internationalization of pharmaceutical
research and has influenced the ways in which it is market,
researched, and developed. In lieu of all the benefits they
bring, the pharmaceutical industry's biggest companies
face a battle between the goals of corporate wealth and
public health. A small number of corporations have come to
dominate the research agenda and operate in a system
which the relentless pursuit of profit takes priority over
public good. While the majority world suffers because they
are deprived of essential medicines and die of neglected
diseases, people in the minority world still benefit. The
reasons for lack of access are diverse and complex, but in
many cases the high prices of drugs are a barrier to needed
treatments. Prohibitive drug prices are often the result of
strong intellectual property protection ('t Hoen, 2002). The
devastating consequences of implementing patents on
pharmaceuticals and the influence of the market on
prioritizing research and development has led to a
perpetuation of global inequality.
Thousands die of preventable or neglected diseases like
malaria, HIV or tuberculosis every day (Albright et al.
2005). The reason why not enough attention is called to
the matter is because the people who are dying are too
poor to command it. If the same situation was found in
developed countries it would most likely be lead news every
day and they would be devoting serious resources to
finding a cure as fast as possible. As it remains, just 10%
of the world's research and development on health is
targeted on diseases affecting 90% of the world's people
and sadly, of more than a thousand new medicines
developed over the last 25 years, just 1% were specifically
for diseases of tropical countries (Albright et al. 2005).
Similarly, it is Western Europe, North America, and Japan
who make up 80% of the world's pharmaceutical market
where as Africa is 1% (Robinson, 2001). The people who
need the most drugs are the people with the least access
to them. Therefore, they go without. Little money is to be
made in the developing countries that suffer from disease
pandemics. Therefore, they get neglected.
It is clear that the current state of modern medicine and
the pharmaceutical industry is not well. It needs an
accurate diagnosis and appropriate course of treatment.
The remedy to reversing the effects of the symptoms can
be achieved; it will be a challenge but it must not be
20. Stop the NT Cash for Containers Legislation
But we can all be doing more.
The Government believes the answer is a "Cash for Containers" Scheme, where consumers across the Territory will have to pay more for their bottles and cans at the shop (10 cent deposit plus a handling fee of up to 10 cents). Consumers would then have to take empty containers to a depot to have the 10 cent deposit returned.
The Environment Protection (Beverage Containers and Plastic Bags) Bill in its current form will see the introduction of an expensive and inconvenient system that threatens the viability of existing kerbside recycling systems.
A better alternative exists.
Responsible Recycling has already had discussions with the Northern Territory Government about a better alternative to the proposed "Cash for Containers" Scheme. Our Product Stewardship Model would see industry provide direct funding for projects that will have a real impact on recycling and litter reduction in the NT, while ensuring the viability and convenience of existing kerbside recycling systems is maintained.
So let's work together to build on what we already have, instead of threatening kerbside recycling with an inconvenient and expensive inconvenient "Cash for Containers" system.
The NT Government must suspend the debate on the current Bill until all options have been investigated.
21. Money for drug users and alcoholics but not for fulltime students?
Or would you rather your taxes go towards helping someone support themselves through college so that they can get a decent job at the end of it and pay back what they've claimed?
I am a young person living independently and trying to put myself through full time college whilst support my family at the same time. As it stands, I am not entitled to any money to help pay the bills or pay for household essentials, and what is this going to lead to? It's going to lead to me and my partner dropping out of college and claiming benefits for a lot longer than our 2 year college courses.
22. We Stand With David Pringle on raising the level of neglect awareness for children
More single mothers than fathers are in the news for killing their children. Fathers are having custody taken away despite hundreds of documents showing they are the primary caretaker for their children.

*Thank you!*
We have a vote and fully intend to use it wisely research the issues before us and separate the truth from the lies I'm asking you sir to introduce a Bill to bring about truth integrity & honesty. With strong penalties of their own expulsion should a representative or any government official including the president willfully misled the American people.
Bring this law not only to the capital but to the white house and the entire political process. We must demand that we get real and truthful facts to base our opinions (votes) on. We the people are ultimately responsible for our own destiny. However there can only be one true set of facts, we will no longer allow congress or the senate to lie or otherwise mislead the American people . This Is not politics Like the president said in the resent round table debate. It is simply seeing who can be the best story teller and convince the American people that a specific bill is in there best interest. WE deserve better and we know better we need to be assured that when the members of congress or the senate or the president speak it is with the same reliable truthful stabilizing voice reflecting the same set of true facts or numbers so there can be absolutely no confusion. This has become necessary because of the present policies in congress, senate and the white house. Additionally distorting the true facts of any candidate running for office in this land our land can not will not and should not be tolerated..
I simply can't believe I am writing this letter and it has become overwhelmingly apparent that Washington is out of control and needs the oversight of the American people to ensure we have truth in the legislative process. This is an important first step this has got to be done the American people will not allow you all to ignore the simple truth. WE the people are the most Important and powerful part of this republic.
P.S. I am sure you can agree that truth in legislation is a positive thing that will bring about a new era of trust in government
25. Smarter SRC = Less disruptive & destructive strikes
These people stay for years in these institutions so they can enjoy many benefits including free fees, etc.
Why are people consistently failing on the one thing that got them in the institution being allowed to lead fellow students ?
In high schools we see bright kids excelling in their studies and sports but also head their Learners Representative Councils, what happens to this aspiring leaders when they arrive in institutions of Higher Learning ?
Lets call on the Department of Education to pass Legislation that will force tertiary institutions to set out clear and sensible criteria for students' eligibility in occupying seats in the SRC's.
26. Retrospective Land Tax - Valuation of Land and other Legislation Bill 2010
This will have profound effect on home owners who have done any improvements on their property (excluding their house), property investment in Queensland and will result in an even more desperate rental situation that already exists. When you don't have investors you don't have rental properties. These charges will be retrospective to 2002. If you own a home YOUR RATES WILL GO UP, this does not just apply to investors or business.

28. Petition to Pass AB 1057: The Food Stamp Modernization Act
The Food Stamp program is needed to provide Californians under a certain income level with proper support for a healthy lifestyle. In fact, California has one of the lowest percentages of participation in the Food Stamp program in the United States. By modifying the system, 108,000 more Californians will be able to receive food stamps.
Currently, the Food Stamp system is wasteful and inefficiently bureaucratic. Families have to make an average of five visits to the registration office to complete all the steps to obtain food stamps, which decreases the amount of time they can spend working and supporting themselves.
Workers have to continually update databases unnecessarily, which increases the cost and wates time. By modernizing the system, the state of California will pay less toward the Food Stamp program while families in need receive more benefits. The state could save up to $50 million, which will help reclaim the $2 billion in federal funds that California is currently losing and it will in turn pump millions into our struggling economy.
Each year, free roaming animals cause millions of dollars in insurance claims, property loss and damage, medical bills, and loss of productivity. Animal bite injuries, property damage, and car accidents are major problems caused by animals allowed to run at large. Free-roaming dogs are a danger to local wildlife, they are traffic hazards, they spread disease and breed (causing an overpopulation problem) and in addition, some people just do NOT want these pests in their yard.
Dog owners, we therefore ask that you please have some consideration and either keep your dog indoors or put your dog on a leash when you let it out. We the undersigned feel that while it is everyone's individual right to own a pet, not everyone wants to come into contact with everyone else's pet.
Therefore, we would like to see a LEASH LAW enacted for dogs. We would like to see some official legislation on this topic.
30. Create a Commision to Examine Healthcare Reform
The current version of the bill, is titled, "America's Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009 (H.R.3200)"
"To provide affordable, quality health care for all Americans and reduce the growth in health care spending, and for other purposes"
The bill includes a measure that would create a government run health insurance company. The current bill was written over a few week period at the behest of President Obama. We do not believe that a law, which would impact 16% of the US economy and over three hundred million people, should be written in such haste.
We are proposing that before tackling the issue of reforming the US health care system, committing trillions of dollars and creating tax burdens and deficits for future generations of Americans, that a commission should be formed, made up of health care professionals, economists, health insurance professionals, US citizens and anyone else who can assist, to examine health care in America today.
A commission that would be charged with identifying the root cause of the problems with the system, discover the positives in the system and make educated, fact based recommendations on how best to reform US heath care, in order to lower costs, increase access and most of all to create a health care system that becomes the shining example to the world.

He's done it again. In There I Was, Matthew Neenan has created a new work of tremendous power, grace, and style. It's luscious, quirky, and startling - often within the space of a few seconds. And throughout, it shows off the technical prowess, dramatic skills, and individual personalities of the dancers in BalletX, which began a five-day run at the Wilma Theater on Wednesday.
I'm not convinced that the final sequence - an unsubtle antiwar message performed to Tom Waits' "Road to Peace" - really belongs here. But Neenan made me eager to see the piece again, to reexperience its dazzling duets; the deadpan Chloe Felesina, who effortlessly melds exquisite classical phrases with off-balance contemporary ones; newcomer Francesca Forcella, who draws the eye every time she picks her way across the stage; and the multitalented Colby Damon, a dancer whose superb (live) guitar playing and acting tie the work together.

I'm so happy to have found others! No one, not even my DH seems to understand what I'm going through. After years of complaining of joint pain and extreme fatigue I finally got a proper diagnosis for my symptoms. I always referred to the really bad times as "flare ups." I thought I had Rhuematoid arthritis and early onset Alzheimer's. Then after having my DD 17 mos ago, I had severe muscle weakness (couldn't even hold my coffee mug some mornings) and my usual memory lapses got scary. At times I didn't recognize my own neighborhood. I went to a new PCP and he ran a whole lot of blood work but didn't even tell me he was testimg me for Lyme Disease. I got a call one evening from the nurse saying, "We can't wait for you to come in to go over your bloodwork. We're calling in a prescription for you tonight. Your levels are through the roof!" I said, "What levels???" She said, "Your Lyme Disease." I said, "I have Lyme Disease?!?!" She said, "You didn't know!" And that was it. I was put on Doxycycline and every appointment with the Dr. has been pushed back because he's been out of the office. So now I just finished the Doxy and feel worse than ever. I also just finished Prednisone that the Podiatrist had me on for a heel spur so I'm wondering if that did something. I haven't been able to speak to any Dr. about this and I don't know where to turn for answers. I'm allergic to all Non-Steroidal anti-inflammitories so I can't take those. My next appointment with the Dr. is Jan 9th (let's hope he keeps this one). It seems like there is so much contradictory info out on the internet I don't know who or what to trust. I guess what I'm hoping for is that one of you can tell me that it gets better some day. I feel like I'm not being the best mommy to my little girl because I'm too tired and in pain to take her for long walks and run in the park with her. Does it ever get better?

Think of Beating Lyme as a marathon, not a short race. It takes time. A lot of Lyme doctors will keep patients on antibiotics until at least 1month after they are symptom free.
If your doctor is unable to get you in, then call and ask them to refill your prescription. Did your doctor mention breaking up the cystic form of Lyme? Does he have you on extra vitamins or supplements?
It is really important to find a doctor that has experience in not only treating Lyme, but helping patients beat Lyne.
My heart goes out to you. I "get it" and know what it's like to be around others who don't! I know it *REALLY* sucks and can be so painful, but trust me it can get better.
As you will find out, you need to take charge of yourself. There's no clear answer for Lyme, so you need to find the treatment that works best for you. Standard medical practice has trouble acknowledging Lyme. I highly recommend the documentary "Under Our Skin." Their answer is long term antibiotics, but recent research suggests this is bad for established cases and only pushes the bacteria to hide deeper in the body. Take a look at this study: http://www.canlyme.com/Sapi_et_al_2011.pdf
I did one round of doxy before I learned about the potential problems then I started Stephen Buhner's herbal protocol. See http://buhnerhealinglyme.com/ for more info. It definately worked for me. I'm SO much better now. It can't bring back the embryo we lost, but at least there's another one inside me now.
I'm curious as to when you think you got Lyme and how the symptoms were during the pregnancy if you had it then?

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!! That short conversation with the nurse tha night one month ago was the only conversation I've had with any medical professional - and it wasn't much ofr a conversation. I can't reach my dr. due to a death in his family. He will returni on the 9th so I have an appointment then.
Yes, I just finished the Doxy on New Years Day. I feel more achy and exhausted. Other than being told they had called in that prescription, I have not been told to take any vitamins or supplements. I'm gussing we'll go over all that at my appt on the 9th.
I can't be sure when I got it. I started comaplining to Dr.'s abou tjoint pain and fatigue about 9 years ago, but can't think of any time I was out in the woods then. I do however basically live at ground zero for Deer Ticks and they can be everywhere around here. I never noticed a bite or a ring. My pregnancy was basically a healthy one except for the extreme exhaution. I was in bed by 6:30 or 7pm most nights. After I gave birth is when I complained to any Dr. who would listen that I felt like my body has gone haywire out of control! I had severe back spasms, my diaphram went into spasm and I couldn't breathe properly, every bone hurt - even my chest plate above my ribs, I was depressed too. My former PCP and OB/GYN both said it was all just part of having a baby. After 17 months of almost no improvement and even getting worse mempry lapses and muscle weakness I tried this new PCP who did the test for Lyme. I'm so anxious to talk to him. I hope he can help. I'm trying to figure this out on my own but like I said, there's a lot of contradictory info out there and it's confusing to someone who has never even spoen to a Dr. about it. I'm going to look up that documentary though. Maybe if Dh watches it with me he'll understand more how I feel. Thank you again for taking the time to help me out!
ETA: Sorry for the typos. DD just woke up and I was trying to type this fast before I went in to get her.
It is all so confusing at first, but it gets easier to understand the more you read about it.
When I first got diagnosed, I had read very little (mostly online) about Lyme. The info. my doctor gave me was greek to me. After that appointment, I started reading everything I could- checking Amazon (for reviews on books) and getting them from the library, reading Lyme forums, and researching it as much as I could. The next time I went back to see my doctor, I was able to understand what she was telling me and was able talk with her about it all better.
There is a good Lyme group online: www.healingwell.com/community/defau... which has a nice mix of people that use both homeopathic meds., pharmaceutical meds., and other routes.
It is typical of a person with Lyme to feel worse when taking antibiotics. The antibiotics cause the Lyme to start dying off, which releases toxins into your body and then causes you to feel worse (which is called a herx reaction). It is important to look for ways to detosx- getting the toxins out of your body quicker so that you can feel better.
Under Our Skin may be available through your local library or you can try Inter-Library Loaning for free.
Be cautious on what info. you get on the net, but also be cautious in making sure you have the right doctor. Healing well has a thread on there about questions to ask a Lyme doctor. It would be a really good idea for you to look that over before you go in so that you can make sure you have the right fit in doctor.
Yes, herxing is the worst part of the whole thing. And I felt better while pregnant, so the worst part of the miscarriage was going back to herxing and knowing I was going to be sicker. It was so hard.
One of the ways to detox is epsom salt baths, but when I tried that I vomited. (I know, makes no sense, but that's what happened. Awful. And I took baths like that before Lyme with no problem.) I also tried Wobenzym N. I still take that. It's safe to use while preg. And I did a couple of weeks of foot detox patches. I'm not sure how much of the improvement was actually from the foot patches or from other things I was doing, but I really improved a lot then and the pains decreased.
It's great to find support online and learn as much as you can. You're the only one who knows exactly how you feel so you have to figure out what works for you. Doctors can be helpful, but remember you're only consulting them and you retain responsibility for your own health.

I've heard steroids can make your symptoms worse. But you likely feel worse because you're herxing... which happens when the bacteria are dying. You might be dealing with co-infections as well, which is common, and doxy treats those as well, so you could be killing a lot off right now.
I would suggest you detox with epsom salt baths to help with the toxins building up in your system. Are you getting in with a LLMD? Those are the best doctors you can find. Most regular MD;s will say a month or even just a few months on meds will be enough, but that isn't true.
Lyme disease can also cross the placenta, so it might be wise to get your child checked as well. I'm wishing you the best... Lyme disease can be healed but it does take time and there will be moments of worse before better. Hang in there!
Sorry, I have been so sick recently I haven't opened my laptop and been on babycenter. I am sorry you got the lyme diagnosis but now you know what you are dealing with and can start the road to recovery.
You can watch the documentary through streaming on Netflix or for free on Hulu. I wish you the best

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Unemployment variation over the business cycles: a comparison of forecasting models
Asymmetry has been well documented in the business cycle literature. The asymmetric business cycle suggests that major macroeconomic series, such as a country's unemployment rate, are non-linear and, therefore, the use of linear models to explain their behaviour and forecast their future values may not be appropriate. Many researchers have focused on providing evidence for the non-linearity in the unemployment series. Only recently have there been some developments in applying non-linear models to estimate and forecast unemployment rates. A major concern of non-linear modelling is the model specification problem; it is very hard to test all possible non-linear specifications, and to select the most appropriate specification for a particular model. Artificial neural network (ANN) models provide a solution to the difficulty of forecasting unemployment over the asymmetric business cycle. ANN models are non-linear, do not rely upon the classical regression assumptions, are capable of learning the structure of all kinds of patterns in a data set with a specified degree of accuracy, and can then use this structure to forecast future values of the data. In this paper, we apply two ANN models, a back-propagation model and a generalized regression neural network model to estimate and forecast post-war aggregate unemployment rates in the USA, Canada, UK, France and Japan. We compare the out-of-sample forecast results obtained by the ANN models with those obtained by several linear and non-linear times series models currently used in the literature. It is shown that the artificial neural network models are able to forecast the unemployment series as well as, and in some cases better than, the other univariate econometrics time series models in our test.

Joe Lynn Turner
In 1985, Turner struck out on his own and released his solo debut, Rescue You, however, the album received very little critical attention despite having a hit with Endlessly. Turner joined Yngvie Malmsteen's band for 1988's Odyssey and the following year's Live in Leningrad: Trial by Fire and also provided background vocals for and/or wrote songs with Bonnie Tyler, Billy Joel, Cher, and Michael Bolton during that time.
1990 reunited Turner with Blackmore in a reformed Deep Purple for Slaves and Masters; however, tension mounted between the band members and he was released from the group in favor of the band's original vocalist Ian Gillan. Afterward, Turner provided backing vocals for Bolton and Taylor Dayne, among others, and released his second solo album, Nothing Changed, in 1995. Turner also appeared on tributes to Deep Purple and AC/DC, and released two more solo albums before the end of the '90s: the all-covers releases Under Cover from 1997 and Under Cover 2 from 1999. Since then, he has released several albums worth of original material as well as teaming up with Glenn Hughes for the Hughes-Turner Project. ~ Heather Phares

Postcard commemorating the visit of the American 'Great White Fleet' in 1908. Although postcards were printed in all states to commemorate the visit, there were two distinct designs - one from Victoria and the other from New South Wales. This postcard is of the Victorian design and depicts the Melbourne GPO on one side and the national flags of Australia and America crossed on the other. This design was created by Melbourne artist Basil F. Magnus.
The postcard was sent from an unknown sender in Melbourne to an equally unknown (due to illegibility) recipient in Adelaide. The name of the recipient has been crossed out and the name 'Beth Kent' inserted instead. It is unclear why the change occurred, although it is possible that the change indicates that the postcard was sent to the wrong person or address.

One one side of the postcard there is a black and white print of a large building identified as the 'General / Post Office / Melbourne' along with a hand-written address. On the other side of the postcard is a colour print of two crossed flags accompanied by a hand-written message.
Prime Minister Alfred Deakin ignored Britain's concerns and established protocol when he invited the American fleet to visit. Sixteen warships arrived in Sydney harbour, welcomed by 80,000 spectators. Speeches were delivered, parties thrown and parades marched in honour of the occasion. As the fleet moved from port to port the welcome remained wildly enthusiastic. The visit was publicly associated with Australia's self-perception as a strong 'white' nation, 'free and clean'. -Forging the Nation: Australian War Memorial web site http://www.awm.gov.au/forging/.
'As a friendly hand across the Pacific comes to Australia - the Great White Fleet. In a flashing white it comes, as it were a symbol of a racial ideal to be upheld…Australia aspires but to hold her territory free and clean, in trust for the White Race. America's Pacific fleet helps to give us heart to hope that that ideal may be preserved.' - The Lone Hand

Anzhi Makhachkala. the Russian Premier League club, have been rebuffed in an attempt to secure Tottenham Hotspur's Younès Kaboul on loan ahead of the resumption of their domestic season next month. Kaboul, so impressive last season, has not featured for Tottenham since the opening game of the current campaign after suffering a serious knee injury which required surgery, but he recently returned to training and may yet play a role in the club's run-in as they pursue a top-four finish.

Signage legibility distances as a function of observation angle
Xie, Hui, Filippidis, Lazaros, Gwynne, Steve, Galea, Edwin R., Blackshields, Darren and Lawrence, Peter (2007) Signage legibility distances as a function of observation angle. Journal of Fire Protection Engineering, 17 (1). pp. 41-64. ISSN 1042-3915 (doi:10.1177/1042391507064025)Full text not available from this repository.
Signage systems are widely used in buildings to provide information for wayfinding, thereby assisting in navigation during normal circulation of pedestrians and, more importantly, exiting information during emergencies. An important consideration in determining the effectiveness of signs is establishing the region from which the sign is visible to occupants, the so-called visibility catchment area (VCA). This study attempts to factor into the determination of the VCA of signs, the observation angle of the observer. In building regulations, it is implicitly assumed that the VCA is independent of the observation angle.
A theoretical model is developed to explain the relationship between the VCA and observation angle and experimental trials are performed in order to assess the validity of this model. The experimental findings demonstrate a consistency with the theoretical model. Given this result, the functionality of a comprehensive evacuation model is extended in accordance with the assumptions on which the theoretical model is based and is then demonstrated using several examples

As property professionals, we are all used to preparing for the worst case scenario when it comes to emergency preparedness. That's why it's such a relief when our worst case scenario actually turns into a best case scenario. Many people breathed a huge sigh of relief last spring when the H1N1 outbreak that had such a menacing start in Mexico turned out to be a less virulent strain than predicted.
Round 2 of H1N1 is coming, and by the time this issue hits your desk it may be in full swing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) anticipates the H1N1 virus will spread again in North America this fall, with infection levels expected to meet, if not exceed, the severity of the spring. We are telling building managers to be flexible and develop a plan. Providing resources and education and maintaining open lines of communication with employees, tenants, vendors, and health officials are essential.
Should severity of the swine flu increase, it may be necessary for building managers to implement an operation continuity plan. BOMA Intl. is urging its members to reach out to key crisis vendors and tenants to determine their plans and to be able to provide a minimal level of service to the building. Managers should also plan for community-invoked social distancing strategies to reduce the spread of disease. Social distancing can lead to school and daycare closures, requiring employees to leave the workplace for an extended period of time.
Resources and Education
A key part of a preparedness plan is providing employees and tenants with resources and education. CDC's most recent guidance for business and employers includes:
Maintaining open lines of communication is critical. Since H1N1, like all influenza, is unpredictable, there's no telling just how severe the outbreak may be in your community. It's paramount that regular communication takes place between your building management team and your state and local health agencies to know exactly how widespread the virus is in your area.
Don't let complacency seep into your preparedness plan. If you take these steps to plan for the worst and hope for the best, you increase the chances that your building will continue to operate with minimal disruption. The real best case requires vigilance.

Many rookies will tell you that they equate the stage of an NFL playoff game to an annual bowl game in college.
It's their chance to shine in front of the millions of people watching on that given Sunday.
We all know that anything is possible in the NFL playoffs—that means NFL rookies can shine on the brightest stage too.
Not all of these guys had great games—in fact, this was a rather poor weekend for rookie performances.
However, these seven guys stood out to me as the seven best rookies of the NFL Divisional round weekend.

When CNN highlights alleged workplace discrimination, you can bet a federal investigation will follow. So when the cable network ran a report in 2010 alleging pervasive bias in the Federal Air Marshal's Service (FAMS), authorities braced for the worst.
The good news: The resulting government investigation didn't uncover widespread discrimination.
The bad news: Investigators found that many FAMS employees believe they have been discriminated against.
The investigation, which focused on operations at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and several other airports nationwide, grew from a whistle-blower's complaint that management insulted workers with a whiteboard designed to look like the question board on the "Jeopardy!" game show. Categories allegedly were derogatory nicknames for women, blacks, Hispanics, gays, lesbians and veterans.
Investigators could not document widespread discrimination, but did uncover attitudes among rank-and-file personnel that they "feel discriminated against, fear retaliation, and believe there is much favoritism."
A FAMS official acknowledged that poor communication might have contributed to worker perceptions of bias.

UF, USC offenses prefer to grind it out
Published: Friday, October 19, 2012 at 7:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 19, 2012 at 7:33 p.m.
If you took an industrial-sized Ambien more than a decade ago and just woke up from a long nap, you probably wouldn't recognize the offense Steve Spurrier is running these days.
Heck, Steve Spurrier wouldn't recognize it. Then again, he wouldn't recognize the offense Florida is running either.
In Spurrier's last year at UF, the Gators led college football by averaging more than 400 yards a game in the air. In Florida's last two games, the Gators have managed to throw for 138 yards or roughly a good quarter for Danny Wuerffel or Rex Grossman.
In the second halves of those two games — both Florida victories — Florida has thrown for 30 yards.
"When you hit 10 (running) plays for explosive plays, the bottom line is: Run them again. Run them again," said Florida offensive coordinator Brent Pease. "Let's not get greedy here as a coach and say, 'I don't like that. I'm throwing the ball because that's what we all love to do.'
"If Jeff Driskel can carry the ball 70 yards and out-run everybody, he's getting the ball. If Mike Gillislee can carry the ball and out-run everybody, he's getting the ball. And if our O-line blocks like they block, we're giving them the ball. I'm not going to be stubborn as far as playing off numbers every week. I'm going to do what's best for this team and what they create for us to be productive and score points and win football games."
When Spurrier came into the league in 1990, he changed the way football was played in the South. And now, it has changed back. They may be slinging it Spurrier-style in the Big 12, but the SEC has returned to being a grind-it-out league.
Florida, which is ranked second in the BCS, is ranked dead last in the SEC in passing.
"I didn't realize we were last in passing, but we're first in the East," said quarterback Jeff Driskel. "We're undefeated, we haven't dropped a game yet, and if you're winning, everything is all right. Obviously we got to get better in the passing game, but we're winning games and that's what matters."
Will Muschamp believes Florida can have a good passing game. And while Gator fans aren't going to complain about winning, I can't get a smoothie or a steam without being asked about Florida's vertical passing game. What's working is great, fans are telling me, but it can't work forever.
We'll see. Because Muschamp isn't one to force things.
"I saw in the spring where we were headed," Muschamp said. "At the end of the day, you gotta do what the players can do. That is what good coaches do. You have to identify your players and understand this is who we are.
"The downfield passing game will happen, but it will happen when the opportunity presents itself. We'll be able to throw it when it happens."
At South Carolina, Spurrier hasn't abandoned the pass but he certainly throws it a lot less than he did when he was at Florida. He went to South Carolina in 2005 ready to reclaim his mojo after an ill-fated stint in the NFL.
But by the time he got back to the SEC and waded into the suddenly reformed league, he noticed something. The league was about to go on its current streak of six straight national championships. And those teams were different defensively.
Also, there were no Wuerffels or Grossmans waiting for him in Columbia. A big reason Spurrier doesn't Fun 'n' Gun the way he used to is that he hasn't had that triggerman.
"It's a lot different from the guys we had at Florida," he said. "We had good pass protectors, passers and pass-catchers. For whatever reason, we haven't quite had that here."
But it's not just South Carolina's personnel that changed Spurrier to the point where his Gamecocks are 10th in the league in passing in SEC games this year.
"The defenses got faster and quicker every year," he said. "They're faster and the ball doesn't go through the air any faster.
"I don't think that (pass-first) style of offense can hold up too much because the quarterback would get hit an awful lot if you tried to throw 40 or 50 times a game," he said. "It'd be difficult. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I think it'd be a lot more difficult with SEC-type defensive players out there."
Said Muschamp: "This league is a little different because of the defensive linemen. It's tougher dropping back and throwing."
While there are six teams rushing for more than 200 yards a game in the SEC there are only two teams averaging more than 300 yards a game — Arkansas and Texas A&M. Whether they stay slightly above that high-water mark remains to be seen. In the last five seasons, only Arkansas in 2010 and '11 has passed for more than 300 yards a game.
The SEC is back to where it once belonged. I've never been a big believer in the adage about the team that runs for more yards will win the game. The team that is losing will throw more and skew the stats. The team that is ahead will run more to protect the lead and milk the clock.
But today in The Swamp, it's almost a lock.

LIKE EVERYTHING else in our celebrity-saturated society, the White House Correspondents Dinner has become a red-carpet affair.
Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan were invited, courtesy of Fox's Greta Van Susteren, and other news stations, magazines and news services now bring so many celebrities to the event, it's a wonder there's room for any journalists.
For example, Politico invited Charlize Theron and Eva Longoria. Newsweek/The Daily Beast brought in Reese Witherspoon and Viola Davis. Penn alum John Legend came courtesy of NPR. People nabbed Josh Hutcherson and Diane Keaton. Time saved seats for George Clooney and Steven Spielberg. USA Today made room for Martha Stewart and Kelly Ripa. Zooey Deschanel, Rashida Jones and the cast of "Modern Family" were also in the house. What was Reuters thinking inviting only politicians and ambassadors. They ain't getting any paparazzi photos with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
