Crocs Canada Coupon Code: 25% Off
There's a friends and family event happening online @ Crocs Canada right now, in which they are offering 25% off many items on their site, with a few exclusions such as sale items.
Click here to use the Crocs coupon code online now
- Coupon Code: FF25
- Discount: 25% off regular priced items
- Expires: 9th June 2014
It's a shame the discount doesn't apply to the Crocs sale section to make for some more super bargains. But if you've had your eyes on any of their regular priced merchandise, then this is a good time to buy. However, some items are marked down and the coupon code applies on top of the prices shown, so it's worth popping some shoes in your cart to check the price, if you're interested in any particular style.
Sale items
I think Crocs are great for kids as the footwear is hard-wearing and durable, and can accept any traumas that a regular kid would put them through. Have a look at these Crocband Kids Lego shoes – how brill are these!? These were $39.99 and are now down to $29.99, but applying the coupon code brings the shoes to $22.49 in the friends and family event. So, as I said before, these Crocs were already marked down, but the coupon code works for a further discount – sweet.
These Baya Slide Kids Crocs are currently priced at $24.99, and they drop to $18.74 when you add the coupon code. You can choose the blue or the pink, or go for the black for non-gender specificity!
Who loves / hates Crocs?
Some people that I know, absolutely HATE Crocs footwear and would never be caught sporting a pair of the regular Crocs. I don't know why they've got such a hatred towards them! But maybe they haven't seen all the new styles and shapes that Crocs now offer. It's not just their basic pairs any more, they've got a really varied range of styles.
Do you wear Crocs? I have a pair which I use when working in the garden. :)
Shipping costs
Shipping is a flat rate of $9.99 on any order. This means that you maybe don't want to just order one pair, it could be a beneficial idea to spread that shipping cost out if you are ordering a number of Crocs shoes.
TOPICS: Shoes

- AstrogalI have a regular, clog pair of purple Crocs that I just wear around the house and no, wouldn't dare wear them outside. I also have a super comfy pair of stylish Croc wedge/platform sandals which I love wearing and the material as I said is soooo comfortable! They have a lot of stylish, standard looking pairs of shoes now that you would never guess are Crocs but have the same comfort of traditional Crocs. I would definitely recommend!
- Anna Waters EDITORThanks Astrogal, I agree! Some do look really stylish now.

This week in Superhero Movies: 'Man of Steel,' 'Avengers 2,' 'Wolverine,' more
It's officially Summer Movie Season, and news about the upcoming slate of superhero movies is coming at us fast and furious. Forthcoming titles from Marvel, DC, and beyond highlight such eclectic heroes as the X-Men, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Hit-Girl. Plus, an older title re-captures fans' hearts. But the real star this week is Superman, ask Zack Snyder's "Man of Steel" prepares for its June 14 opening with a bits of promotional material. Catch up on all this past week's news, photos, trailers and general buzz here.
"Man of Steel"
Superman is everywhere you look these days, as the new film approaches theaters. Our visit to the film's Chicago set answers some questions about the upcoming epic, but there's a lot more of the comic's expansive mythos that we'd like to see in a Supes movie.
"The Wolverine"
Director James Mangold reveals more about the movie's seeming resurrection of Jean Grey (Famke Janssen).
"The Dark Knight"
Sure, it's several years old, but the recently revealed peek at Heath Ledger's "Joker diary" is reminded fans what an extraordinary performance -- and film -- it is.
"The Avengers 2"
Mark "Hulk" Ruffalo can't wait to start shooting. And we can't wait to see it.
"Guardians of the Galaxy"
This cast just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Say hello to multiple Oscar nominee Glenn Close.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"
Meanwhile, the latest attempt at "TMNT" has added an Oscar-winner to its cast: The one and only Whoopi Goldberg.
"Kick-Ass 2"
A new theatrical banner features the grim visages of the sequel's two main heroes. Bansky would approve.

Hubbard: Reflections on Kobe and Phil .. and Their Differing Paths
Less than 48 hours and one unrelated storybook ending separated the two scenes involving Kobe Bryant and Phil Jackson. One was warm and fuzzy, perhaps only because the aging warrior was no longer a threat. The second was sad and unpromising, with the evidence suggesting the aging warrior is no longer a threat. On Saturday night, the Spurs celebrated the career of Bryant, who was visiting San Antonio for the final time as a player. It was touching tribute to an
Tweet of the Night: Manu Ginobili provides update after getting testicular surgery
It's inevitable that players will suffer one injury or another during the course of a season, be it minor, serious or even career-threatening. For San Antonio Spurs guard Manu Ginobili's latest injury, it's simply cringeworthy. On February 3, Ginobili suffered – and here comes the cringeworthy part – a testicular injury that forced him to get surgery and will sideline him for at least a month. There are no details as far as what exactly happened to the area, but you can only assume the
Hubbard: While excelling quietly, Spurs may be finding gems
Seldom has a team with a nine-game winning streak, 16 victories in its last 17 games and an overall record of 34-6 generated so little excitement. That's outside of San Antonio, of course. Spurs fans are aware as any of the Ripleys-Believe-It-Or-Not 36-2 start of the Golden State Warriors, but they have every reason to be excited and optimistic about their chances to win a sixth NBA title. The Warriors are defending champions, but the Spurs are only a year removed from winning
Sprung: Spurs Playing Their Best Defense Ever Under Popovich
After Monday's 106-79 road win over the deliriously dysfunctional Brooklyn Nets, the 33-6 San Antonio Spurs have matched the team's best start through 39 games in its storied franchise history. The Spurs have won five championships since Gregg Popovich took over as coach during the 1996-1997 season, but have never started the regular season with more wins than they have right now. And San Antonio isn't just beating teams, it's steamrolling opponents at a level not seen anywhere else in the league. The
Bernucca: Tim Who? Duncan's Donut Illustrates Spurs' Transition
In case you didn't notice, the transition into a new era for the San Antonio Spurs hit a milestone of sorts this past weekend. For the first time in 1,360 career games, Tim Duncan did not score. Coming off a three-game absence – one for rest and two due to knee soreness – the no-brainer Hall of Famer played just 13 minutes Saturday, missing all three of his shots and failing to get to the line. And it was no coincidence that in
Fantasy Spin: Warriors Score 135 In Latest Romp; Go For 18 Tonight
Saturday's 7-game slate again features Stephen Curry $10900 and the amazing Warriors, a two-touchdown favorite at home against Sacramento. Draymond Green $7400 triple-doubled as 17-0 Golden State scored 75 points in the first half; the MVP hit nine triples and scored 41 in just 31 minutes. [Read more…]

I do my share of complaining and grousing about daily frustrations, but really I'm not a negative person. This website is simply a place for me to write about my stuff, BS Today is all about the BS posted today (some of it bullshit, some of it just "Bob's Stuff")
This "stuff" will be mostly Drupal and work related, things that I will be experimenting with as I go about the challenges of the day. So it will probably be part blog and part sandbox for me to play around with Drupal 8, general web stuff and whatever else grabs my attention. Some of it will be published, but that will no doubt be only the tip of the iceberg.
Hopefully every now and then there will be something worth publishing and you'll find those on the "Latest News" appearing on this page.
Cheers and thanks for visiting.

'r kids Family Center
Rating: 4.93 stars 28 28 reviews
45 Dixwell Ave New Haven CT 06511 USA
The 'r kids Family Center mission is to provide specialized, quality services to children and families in transition. Our objective is to promote permanency, safety and stability for children by providing nurturing services to biological, foster, adoptive and relative care families.
Working with Department of Children and Families referred clients, 'r kids works with families who have been separated from their children. The goal is to provide intensive support services to allow for permanency either within the birth home, the relative care or adoptive home. Staff provide initially center based supervised visitation and individualized parenting support .Additionally assessment and treatment planning services are provided. The provision of unsupervised and in-home visits occurs for those families who have a plan of reunification. If reunification is not the goal, staff prepairs the families and children for a permanent out-of - home placement. Staff provide children with programming to meet specific individual needs, including referrals and transitional planning and support. Our services are on-going and multi-faceted, singularly geared toward the timely implementation and support of effective permanency plans.

Reviews for 'r kids Family Center
I am a Social Worker for the State Connecticut Department of Children and Families. In working with 'r kids Family Center throughout the years the agency has always assisted me in ensuring the needs of the families I worked with needs be met in a timely manner. 'r kids Family Center mission is to provide specialized, quality services to children and families in transition and they have done that and more. The community need more providers like this. ~Tracey
I interned at `R Kids family Center this past academic year in pursuing my Master's Degree in Social Work. I remember my first day and I was greeted by worker Anushka Saadat. She was eager to explain to me her role as a social worker and the different types of service programs that r Kids provided to children and families. Furthermore, sharing an office with workers; Melanie Vitelli and Steve Ingram was an inspiration. They were always there for me, whenever I felt inadequate in my learning. Melanie would always say, "Your doing fine Court!" Steve stated, "You're our hardest working intern yet!" Then having worker, Enna Garcia next door to us was a treat! She exposed me into learning how to work with children with multiple mental diagnoses and the importance of active listening. However, as a student and wanting to; embrace my passion in working with children and families, I felt that prominent supervision was to the key and I received just that!! So, I bow and commend Anne Steers for her; instruction, leadership, and having a listening ear when I needed, despite her busy schedule. Also, for entrusting me with some of the most challenging cases. As a student and juggling a lot: when I entered the Center, Cindy Fernandez would always put a smile on my face; by greeting with such warmth and compassion. Finally, to the founder and visionary, Mrs. Randi-Rubin Rodriguez, I commend you and thank you for allowing me to become a part of this small, but powerful organization. `r Kids Family Center doesn't just fulfill its mission, but also gives hope and life to children and families in the city of New Haven.

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg has added his voice to those criticising the Daily Mail for their depiction of Ed Miliband's father Ralph.
Speaking on London radion station LBC this morning, he said that the Daily Mail claiming that Ralph Miliband was "the man who hated Britain" was "out of order".
There has always been a dark undercurrent to some of the criticism of Ed Miliband. He is just a little too intellectual, too metropolitan, too "north London" for some tastes.
Add to this mix his refugee, Marxist father with a dubious loyalty to Britain, and the ingredients are all there for the kind of vicious attack published by the Daily Mail this week.
I had always thought that the Daily Mail, despite its Hitler-appeasing past and temporary admiration for the Blackshirts, in recent years had become converted to the idea of the Jews.
I thought it saw Jews as the one immigrant group it could tolerate: suburban enthusiasts for the enterprise culture whose arrival in this country was not buttressed by benefits and council housing.
You didn't have to be Jewish, to adapt an old phrase, to feel queasy at the Daily Mail's attack on Ralph Miliband. Plenty of Britons, including, I suspect, many Mail readers, will have disliked the notion of condemning a dead man who cannot defend himself and of suggesting a son should be blamed for the words and beliefs of his father.
After a week of analysis, comment, anger, defence and exhaustive media coverage, the Daily Mail's attack on Ralph Miliband has given the Labour leader's father wider name recognition than he ever enjoyed in his lifetime. Were it not for one thing, the JC would not be adding to that coverage. We do not as a matter of course report events solely because a Jew is involved.
The row over the Daily Mail's attack on Ed Miliband's father intensified this week when a leading campaigner against antisemitism accused the paper of an anti-Jewish slur.
In a tweet on Wednesday, John Mann, the chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism, called the article on the late Ralph Miliband a "classical age-old antisemitic smear about disloyal Jews".
Daniel Radcliffe has denied rumours that he will replace Sacha Baron Cohen in the upcoming Freddy Mercury biopic.
The Harry Potter star was widely reported to be lined up for the singing role after Mr Cohen pulled out of the film following creative differences with surviving Queen band members Brian May and Roger Taylor.
Broadcaster Vanessa Feltz and TV presenter Rachel Riley have both admitted to feeling nervous about competing on Strictly Come Dancing this weekend.
The pair are among the 15 celebrities taking part in the BBC One dance-themed reality show.
The Guardian newspaper has corrected an article that said female genital mutilation (FGM) is practised in the Jewish community.
In a piece published last weekend called "Female genital mutilation: Mothers need to say no'', Guardian staff feature writer Homa Khaleeli wrote: "Muslim, Jewish and Christian communities carry out FGM."
Media watchdog Ofcom has contacted German authorities over the publication and distribution of magazines which glorify the Nazis.
Der Landser, a German magazine that honours the SS, is published by a company owned by Bauer Media Group, which runs a number of British radio stations.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Downtown board extends grants for storefront fix-ups
Downtown officials on Wednesday extended an incentive program that has helped three businesses spruce up storefronts since 2012.
The Center City Development Corp., a Downtown Memphis Commission board, voted to continue storefront improvement grants at least through Aug. 31, 2015. The program had been scheduled to end Aug. 31.
The grant is a dollar-for-dollar match for exterior improvements such as signs, lighting, awnings and outside accessories. It's a carrot to offer businesses from an agency that also uses enforcement powers to deal with dilapidated buildings and overgrown lots.
"Rather than walking into a place and telling the owner it looks shoddy, you can walk in and say you've got some money to help," commission president Paul Morris said.
Grants have been approved for High Cotton Brewing at 598 Monroe, which received $50,000 for improvements to its microbrewery and tap room; Botto Jewelry Market at 43 S. Main, $5,310; and The Book Juggler at 548 S. Main, $3,814. South Front Antiques, 374 S. Front, won a grant but never collected it.
"I've had people tell me they really like the new jewelry store on Main Street," Morris said. Botto Jewelry Market, next to Flight restaurant, has been there for years, but changed its appearance by adding a large awning.
There's no cap on grants, and applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to see how much work is needed to make a positive impact. Projects must be in well-traveled pedestrian areas within the commission's jurisdiction, which stretches from Uptown on the north to Crump on the south and extends east into the medical center district. Incentive programs are funded by fees collected on Downtown development projects.
Board member Sharon Leicham, a South Main resident, said, "I think it's really important, both from the way Downtown looks and the way it can improve their business."

Other toxic deals
There are other toxic trade deals in negotiation:
TiSA: Selling off public services
The Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) aims to turn public services like health, education, water and sanitation into commodities for trade – essentially, to privatise them. It threatens to exclude millions of people worldwide from access to these vital services.
Negotiations on the TISA deal began in 2012. It involves 50 countries, including the UK and the rest of the EU. It was initiated following the stalling of talks on services at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), due to opposition from many, mainly poorer countries.
The TiSA deal aims to make it much easier for multinational companies to get involved in the provision of essential services. Public services play a crucial role in tackling poverty and inequality. But the TiSA deal would restrict the legal powers of governments to run services like education and water for the benefit of their citizens.
The TiSA would worsen the situation of migrant workers by limiting the ability of governments to protect their rights. It also seeks to further reduce regulation governing the international finance sector – despite the financial crisis which resulted from an already deregulated finance industry.
Global Justice Now is working with allies around the world to build the movement against TISA.

TPP: A trade deal across the Pacific
The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a trade deal being negotiated between 12 countries in North America, Latin America, Australasia and the Pacific. Like the TTIP and other trade deals, it aims to increase the power of big business over many areas of life, including public services and democracy.
But the TPP deal goes even further, by committing governments to allowing multinational companies access to all public and other services, unless they have been specifically excluded.
The TPP has provoked protests across the countries involved in the talks, including by Japanese farmers and New Zealand nurses.
The deal reached agreement in October 2015, but has yet to be ratified by governments, so there is still hope.

Tomorrow the Wings will hold a 'good old' charity game at Centre Ice Arena
by George Malik on 09/13/13 at 07:41 PM ET
Comments (0)
The tickets are sold out at present, but if you can find a way to snag a ducat for the Red Wings' alumni and charity game at Centre Ice Arena tomorrow night (the game starts at 7), I'd sure as heck suggest that you attempt to snag one. The Left Wing Lock's Sarah Lindenau posted the roster and the game's circustances (to benefit Centre Ice Arena), and this may be the only time you ever see the Wings' front office and coaches tangle on an ice rink:
The roster for the Alumni and Celebrity game scheduled for 7:00 pm on September 14th is below. All players and teams are subject to change depending on availability. Special jerseys will be designed specifically for the event and a silent auction for the game worn jerseys will take place for those attending the game. All proceeds from the event will support Centre I.C.E. and the cost of the event.
Dr. John Finley will also be on hand on September 14th to sign copies of his book, Hockeytown Doc: A Half Century of Red Wings Stories from Howe to Yzerman. Finley served as the Red Wings team doctor for nearly five decades and he shares stories of some of the more notorious sports injuries over the years.

The LA Times has a great article about the proposed hike in costs for citizenship and permanent residency applications. The application fees would go from $330 to $595, and other hikes include those for immigrant entrepreneurs seeking investor green cards, who would face an increase from $475 to $2,850. Work permits would rise from $180 to $340, and those for family visas would increase from $190 to $355.
Why the increase? The article points out that Emilio T. Gonzalez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said his agency faced a $1-billion shortfall for the next two fiscal years and was legally required to raise its own revenue to balance its books. In 2002, Congress gave it a five-year special appropriation of $460 million to eliminate a backlog that peaked at 3.8 million cases and to meet a presidential mandate to process applications within six months.
The Dallas Morning News points out that Mexican immigrants sent a record $23 billion home in 2006. The article cites reduced sending costs and increased migration for the rise, which is the fifth straight of its kind. Roberto Suro from the Pew Hispanic Center disagrees. He "noted that Central Bank figures show a doubling of money transfers from $10 billion five years ago, and illegal immigration hasn't doubled in that time."
NDN's good friend Sergio Bendixen, who will be speaking at NDN's forum next week, was also quoted, saying that part of the increase is because the prosperity of Mexican workers has swelled:
"These immigrants are making some good money in the United States, and, therefore, they are able to send more," Mr. Bendixen said.
"These immigrants are making some good money in the United States, and, therefore, they are able to send more," Mr. Bendixen said.
The Los Angeles Times has a great article on the potential of passing comprehensive immigration reform with a Democrat-controlled Congress. The article highlights the influence of Rep. Zoe Lofgren, saying:
In the House, where these conservatives could derail a bill, the job of finding that elusive middle ground falls to Rep. Zoe Lofgren. The San Jose Democrat, who heads the immigration subcommittee, has been buttonholing lawmakers, quizzing them between votes and hosting formal meetings.
"There's a way to deal with this," she said. "The Republicans I've listened to make it clear they're open to dialogue, to practical solutions."

NDN continues to fight for comprehensive immigration reform, and you can view our work on our website.
Congressman Becerra spoke clearly and persuasively on a range of issues last night, coming out particularly strong for Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Click the picture to watch the speech.
Bill Richardson isn't the first candidate to announce he's running for President by posting an online video announcement, but he is the first to do it in English and Spanish. It's worth thinking about how his appeal to Spanish-speaking voters might impact the Democratic primary campaign. As we've written about many time before, Hispanics are the fastest growing demographic group in the country and are increasingly disaffected with conservatives in the wake of the ongoing battle over immigration reform.
For those of eager to reform the nation's broken immigration system there have been some encouraging signs of progress in recent days:
- The GOP made a Cuban immigrant, and great champion of comprehensive immigration reform, the Chairman of their Party. It is an important sign of the President's commitment to passing a bill this year, and for Republicans it helps provide some distance from their shameful demonization of immigrants in last year's election.
- A new coalition of powerful grassroots groups has formed to pass comprehensive immigration reform this year. It is aptly named Alliance for Immigration Reform 2007.
- The Democrats pick Denver as their convention site in 2008. To fully capitalize on their choice of Denver in the 2008 elections, Democrats will want to show the Hispanics of the southwest and the nation that they helped fix the broken immigration system, and brought an end to a debate that has become seen in this community as anti-Hispanic.
- Finally, in his State of the Union Preview yesterday, Colorado Senator Ken Salazar made it clear that passing comprehensive immigration reform was an important Democratic priority this year.
Given how contentious this issue was in 2006, there is no doubt that it will take a lot of work to get it done in 2007. But I remain optimistic, and we will be using all means available to NDN to get this important legislation passed this year.

Por favor de prestar atención al anuncio que se ha dado: se informa que la Presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes, Nancy Pelosi, ha escogido al Congresista Xavier Becerra para emitar la respuesta oficial en español de los demócratas al Discurso del Presidente Bush sobre el Estado de la Unión.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – La Presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes Nancy Pelosi y el Líder de la Mayoría del Senado Harry Reid anunciaron hoy que el Congresista Xavier Becerra de California, Asistente de la Presidenta de la Cámara, y el único miembro del Congreso de California del Sur que forma parte del poderoso Comité de Medios y Arbitrios emitirá la respuesta oficial en español de los demócratas al Discurso del Presidente Bush sobre el Estado de la Unión el próximo martes, 23 de enero, 2007.
"Estamos orgullosos de que el Congresista Xavier Becerra emita la respuesta en español este año," dijeron la Presidenta de la Cámara Pelosi y el Líder de la Mayoría del Senado Reid. "Su intelecto profundo y su experiencia substantiva de la política pública le han hecho un líder nacional en cuanto a varios temas de importancia para los latinos y todos los estadounidenses. Como ex Presidente del Caucus Hispano Congresional y como integrante nuevo del Liderazgo Demócrata, como Asistente de la Presidenta de la Cámara, el Congresista Becerra fortalece las voces de los latinos y del Partido Demócrata por todo el país."
"Es un día nuevo y una dirección nueva," dijo el Rep. Becerra. "Me siento honrado que la Presidenta Pelosi y el Líder del Senado Reid me han dado la oportunidad de compartir con el pueblo estadounidense los pensamientos de los demócratas sobre el estado de la unión y las varias ideas y propuestas de política pública para fortalecer a nuestro país."
Se hará pública una trascripción, traducción a inglés, y una versión podcast MP3 en el sitio Web http://Becerra.House.Gov siguiendo la respuesta del Rep. Becerra la noche de martes.

NDN is a national leader in the effort to raise the minimum wage, and improve the standard of living for millions of working Americans. Our Spanish language media campaign to build support in the Hispanic community was a major factor in passing state ballot initiatives in Arizona and Colorado, and in keeping the pressure on Congress. And the outcome was bipartisan support in the House for this important measure:
The House yesterday overwhelmingly approved the first increase in the federal minimum wage in nearly a decade, boosting the wages of the lowest-paid American workers from $5.15 to $7.25 an hour over the next two years.
The 315 to 116 vote could begin the process of ending Congress's longest stretch without a minimum-wage increase since the mandatory minimum was created in 1938. In the past decade, inflation has depleted the value of the minimum wage to the lowest level in more than 50 years.

One of the most consequential battles NDN and its family took on in 2006 was the intense battle over immigration. I am very proud of the role we played, fighting hard and hanging tough for a bi-partisan bill that would go a long way to solving this vexing national problem. For more on our advocacy for comprehensive immigration reform, visit www.ndn.org/immigration.
The battle, of course, isn't over. The perception that the Republican effort to use immigration as a blunt instrument to beat up on Democrats in tough races backfired has created additional momentum for what was called the McCain-Kennedy approach. We are working with their offices, and the organized coalition, and plan to make this a major priority in 2007. I am optimistic that significant reform will pass both chambers and be signed by the President this year, but it is not assured. Thus we must continue to push, and push hard.
A few articles in recent days capture some of the early thinking on the icoming mmigration battle. The Hill has a piece today about Latino mobilization for 2007 passage of a bill. The Boston Phoenix had a very interesting piece about the 2006 elections, that included this quote from me:
Which is why this year's immigration debate was about much more than race and nationality, suggests Simon Rosenberg, president of the New Democrat Network in Washington. It was, he thinks, part of an even more fundamental decision to accept or reject the modern world — a world filled with people of different nationalities, languages, tastes, and sexual preferences.
By calling for the mass deportation of Latinos and the building of a wall to keep them out, "The Republicans may have made a decision not to be a political party of the 21st century," Rosenberg says.
And from this piece from Cox News:
Rosenberg said his party can build on the momentum it gained among Hispanic voters in the past election. "If Democrats want to take advantage of the opportunity that we now have with Hispanics, we have to pass immigration reform this year," he said.
There are many good reasons why immigration reform should pass. The most important, and the reason we will be fighting again, so hard, this year, is that it is simply the right thing to do.
More soon.

State secrets bill a 'threat to free press'
The Jakarta Post
The Press Council is calling for a rethink of the draft state secrets bill that has been given priority on the House of Representatives' legislative agenda for 2013.
If enacted into law, the current bill would jeopardize press freedom, which is one of the pillars of democracy, the council said.
The bill, drafted by the Defense Ministry, stipulates that state information about security, foreign relations, law enforcement, intelligence and encryption should not be made available to the public, Press Council member Agus Sudibyo said.
"The TNI [Indonesian Military], for example, is a public institution funded by a state budget, and thus has to be transparent," Agus said during a recent discussion at the Indonesia Institute of Sciences (LIPI) in Jakarta. "It will be dangerous if this bill is approved."
LIPI defense expert Jaleswari Pramodhawardani echoed Agus, saying that the bill would limit press freedom, since things such as the defense budget would remain top secret.
"I understand that things related to state security, such as defense strategy, should be kept secret. The defense budget, on the other hand, should be made available to the public," Jaleswari said.
Agus said that the bill would be at cross purposes with the 2008 Freedom of Information Law, which came into force in April 2010.
According to the law, all information, including that held by the TNI, should be made available to the public, as long as its revelation does not pose a threat to state security.
"Unlike the state secrets bill, the 2008 law regulates the type of the information that is confidential, instead of the institution," Agus said.
He criticized the bill for stating that whoever revealed a "state secret", as broadly defined by the bill, could be given hefty punishments, such as a maximum sentence of life imprisonment or required to pay a maximum fine of Rp 1 billion (US$103,231).
"This is so unfair. The punishments should be imposed on the officials and institutions who fail to protect the state secrets," Agus said. "Instead, the bill gives severe punishment to the public, including the media, who may not even realize that they have leaked classified information."
The council has repeatedly urged the government to revise the bill in accordance with the principle of freedom of information. Government officials and lawmakers failed to complete deliberations on the first version of the bill sent to the House in 2008, citing an unclear definition of what comprised a state secret.
The chairman of House Commission I overseeing defense, foreign affairs and information, Mahfudz Siddiq, said that the Freedom of Information Law mandated the enactment of a state secrets law.
He said that the House would focus on clarifying the concept of state secrecy before making a list of information that should be kept secret from the public. (han)

Add a splash of color to your favorite outfit wit this Cotton Candy Dreams Crocheted Cuff. Made up of crocheted circles in a variety of colors, this crocheted bracelet is great for using up yarn scraps. You could even use this same technique to create an amazing statement necklace. Simple enough for beginning crochet fans, this handmade bracelet is great to wear no matter what the season, and it also makes a wonderful gift for a family member or friend. Show off your awesome crochet skills with this cute and colorful Cotton Candy Dreams Crocheted Cuff.
Crochet Hook: F/5 or 3.75 mm hook
Primary Technique: Crochet
- 3.75 crochet hook
- Various yarn scraps (or BonBons yarn)
- Cabone circles
- Begin with a slip knot on your hook.
- Push the hook down through the circle. Grab the yarn and bring it back up through the loop to where you started so you have two loops on your hook. Grab the yarn again and pull it through both loops so that you're back down to one loop left on the hook. You've just made a single crochet stitch. Now do that over and over again until you've covered the whole cabone with neat little stitches.
- When you meet back up with where you started you'll need to join your circle together. If you have a favorite way of doing then, go for it. I just made another single crochet stitch by pushing my hook through one of my first stitches, grabbing the yarn, and then pulling through the loops as usual. Snip your thread and pull it tight, leaving about a two inch tail.
- For your second ring and every ring after, you'll start it just the same way. You always want to get your crocheting started before you reach a point where you'd have to join it to another ring, even if that's only a few stitches.
- Hold the rings how you want them to be arranged on the bracelet. Once you reach a point where they'll join up, begin just as you would a single crochet stitch. Push your hook down through the center of the ring, but when you come back up the other side, come up through one of the stitches on the other ring. Then grab the thread and pull it back up to the front and finish your single crochet as normal.
- Repeat this everywhere your rings touch, but to keep it good and stable I'd recommend at least three stitches to join each ring. When you're all done weave in all your ends and snip off whatever threads remain.
- Once you have your whole bracelet put together the way you want it, you'll need a way to keep it on your wrist. Luckily those cabones make perfect toggle closures all on their own, you just have to add the toggle part of it. On my last ring I joined the circle together as usual and then instead of snipping the thread I chained a few stitches. Then I threaded the yarn through the toggle and tied a great big knot.

Best Buy Co.NYSE
Yesterday, 10:58 AM
- Best Buy (BBY -1.1%) announces that it won't charge customers for shipping on all online orders executed through December 24.
- The company had the same margin-pinching policy last year amid intense competition for holiday season sales.
- Interestingly, Best Buy didn't wait to see what Target and Wal-Mart will do with shipping fees this year before pulling the trigger.
- Source: Press Release
Thu, Oct. 20, 10:07 AMGoogle's pop-up store opens in New York, deal with Best Buy Canada for in-store shops announced, Pixel available
- Google's (GOOG, GOOGL) getting more involved in the art of physically displaying and demonstrating hardware products, setting up shop in its own space in SoHo and within specially-designed areas at select Best Buy Canada (BBY +0.8%) stores as of today.
- Although Google doesn't span the globe with well-designed physical locations as does its target rival (NASDAQ:AAPL), these initial moves to showcase its new hardware portfolio could mark a sign of others to come.
- Made by Google (96 Spring Street), Pixel
- Earlier in the week: Google Pixel reviews overall positive ahead of release

- Cleveland Research is positive on Best Buy (BBY +3.2%) in the near term.
- The equity research firm expects the retailer to report Q3 U.S. comparable sales growth of 1.8% vs. 1.0% consensus. An EPS beat is also in the cards for Best Buy ($0.50 vs. $0.47 consensus), forecasts analyst Daryl Boehringer.
- Best Buy isn't due to report earnings on November 17.
- Shares of Best Buy are up 26% over the last 90 days.
Thu, Oct. 6, 9:40 AM
- Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT) management is talking quite a bit about e-commerce during its Investment Community presentation.
- While that's not a surprise, there's still an underlying tone that the company's strategy is to ride out the extra costs of tech and e-commerce investments in order to adapt and evolve.
- "We're moving with speed to position the company to win the future of retail," noted CEO Doug McMillon. He also said point blank that the world's largest retailer is going to look more like an e-commerce company over time. That's a stipulation that may have been inconceivable three or four years ago.
- Keeping with the e-commerce theme, guidance on store openings for the next two years was on the light side.
- Naturally, the $3B acquisition of Jet.com was a talking point
- The retailer also disclosed in a SEC filing yesterday that it has increased its position in JD.com to 10.8% of the shares that don't have voting power.
- Shares of Wal-Mart are down 2.69% in early trading after the company's guidance came in below expectations.
- The all-in bet by Wal-Mart on e-commerce has implications for other online sellers such as Target (NYSE:TGT), Staples (NASDAQ:SPLS), Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) and (of course) Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN).
- Previously: Wal-Mart execs in the spotlight at investment meeting (Oct. 6)

- Best Buy (BBY +2.1%) will open select stores at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on October 13 to allow shoppers a chance to get their hands on the new Sony PlaySation VR product.
- The highly-anticipated virtual reality goggles will also be available on Best Buy's website at the same time.

Thu, Sep. 15, 1:59 PM
- A new report from Moody's makes the argument that brick-and-mortar retailers such as Wal-Mart (WMT +1.2%) and Best Buy (BBY +0.1%) are thriving due to their sheer physical size. The ratings agency doesn't believe mass store closing are in the future, but sees a continuing trend toward "repurposing" of the store fleets to evolve to the multi-channel world.
- The pitch runs counter to the calls from some analysts for a mass reduction in square footage by major chains.
- Moody's on WMT: "Walmart's recent acquisition of Jet.com, while not a threat to Amazon's position, provides Walmart a speed advantage in boosting online growth by leveraging Jet's ready-made platform."
- Moody's on BBY:" Best Buy is an example of a retailer that continues to successfully transition online, with penetration approaching 20% of total sales."
- The interesting take from Moody's is probably relevant to other larger retail chains such as Staples (SPLS +1.8%), Target (TGT +0.8%), Walgreen Boots Alliance (WBA +0.3%), L Brands (LB +0.6%), Macy's (M +1%), and TJX Companies (TJX +0.8%) as well.
- Moody's press release
Thu, Sep. 15, 9:02 AM
- Retail sales fell in August on a month-over-month comparison. The drop wasn't a large surprise considering the onslaught of warnings from the retail sector on store traffic.
- 8 out of the 13 retail categories showed negative growth during the month, with the largest drops recorded in the building material/garden equipment/supplies dealers and miscellaneous store retailers categories. The broad weakness turned on its head the argument that money freed up from a lower level of auto sales would be funneled into other consumer purchases.
- Food services and drinking places showed a +0.9% M/M and +5.8% Y/Y increase in a somewhat surprising result considering the harsh read from Black Box Intelligence on August same-store sales in the restaurant sector BITE. Is the discrepancy an indication that independent restaurants are taking market share?
- On a year-over-year basis, retail sales were up 1.9%. As expected the Amazon-influenced nonstore retailers category did the heavy lifting with an 11% gain. Larger U.S. retail chains (WMT, SPLS, TGT, BBY, DG, COST, KR, WBA, CVS, LOW, HD, SWY) have been raising the issue of pricing pressure in recent conference presentations and guidance updates which could be a nagging sales deflator for the balance of the year.

Lone Star Trading Company: Metal Decorations
Our daughter bought this iron star for their family room/living room downstairs because she thought it appropriate for a cowboy/Texas based room. She had to go up and look up the charge slip in order to remember the name of the company that produced it. I took some pictures of it as we were speeding by in the car, but the name wasn't visible in my pictures. It turns out that they actually have 2 web sites.
What to buy: Wrought iron, cast aluminum, wicker, PVC, rustic cedar and pine furniture, pottery, patio sets, bird baths, chimeneas, pinon wood, statuary, bakers racks, bar stools, griffins, gargoyles, topiaries, trellises, arches, gates, bird cages and accessories.
The picture shows a large 3-D metal star in a circle (the horses head on the cabinet underneath is not part of the deal), and two shots from the car of the building at dusk.
What to pay: I did not ask my daughter what she paid. But according to their website, they won The Underground Shoppers 1997-98 award for HOME ACCENTS for exhibiting value excellence in Quality, Selection, Price, Personnel and Convenience and has also been featured on Channel 4 and on "Positively Texas" in a segment which features "the best deals in Texas."

Talk about an introduction.
In the first game of her collegiate career, Sydney O'Hara, a graduate of Cicero-North Syracuse and a freshman pitcher on the Syracuse softball team, threw just the seventh no-hitter in Syracuse softball history.
O'Hara took the ball in Syracuse's season-opener and delivered a 9-0 win over Austin Peay in the Mardi Gras Tournament in Mobile, Ala., striking out 12 of the 21 hitters she faced.
Here's how she, her catcher and her coach, remembered her debut.
Syracuse softball coach Leigh Ross: "We had practice in the morning and Jenna (Caira), my pitching coach, was scouting. I forgot to tell Syd she was starting until after practice. Oh, Syd, by the way, you're starting the first game, which is in ... three hours.
O'Hara: I didn't expect to start. When Coach told me I was going to start I got really nervous. A lot of things were going through my mind. I was thinking way too much. I started warming up and Jenna said, 'You need to calm down. You're OK. You're OK.' I talk a lot when I'm nervous. I was really quiet and then I was talking like crazy, just talking about anything, how the week went, what happened in class.
Ross: I had no idea what she was feeling because she puts on a pretty good front. I just forgot. I could tell as I walked away it was, 'Holy cow, let this digest.' We had a long delay, so that kind of helped her settle down.
Catcher Nicole Lundstrom: I couldn't tell at all. She looked really smooth, really loose. Her pitches were hitting her spots. She looked really confident.
O'Hara: I started throwing and I was like, 'Wow, my pitches are really, really good right now.' My curveball was on point. My riseball, I was hitting location. I was like, 'OK, this is going to be a good game.' I was really nervous still. The games were pushed back so I had to sit there and sit there.
Once the game began, O'Hara got off to a quick start, striking out the side in the first inning.
O'Hara: It surprised me, but it didn't surprise me. I struck out the first three batters and was like, 'OK, let's go second inning.' I feel like college is a higher level. Pitching and striking out the first three batters gave me a lot of confidence starting off the game.
The second inning started with a walk and a hit batter.
O'Hara: I was a little shaky. I hit a girl, walked a girl. I finally cooled back down and I felt like I was in control at that point. I felt like, 'OK, I got this. I really need to stay focused, buckle down, attack the batter.'
Lundstrom: After that she was fine. Sometimes it happens. You try to work them in and you hit them every once in a while. Sometimes you can tell if a pitcher hits someone and they're like, 'Oh my gosh, I have to worry.' They start freaking out. She never got that in her eye. She was focused on the next hitter. That's how I could tell she'd be fine.
O'Hara: Probably the third or the fourth inning I started thinking about (the no-hitter). And it's like, 'No, you can't think about it. Knowing me, I'll give it up.'
The best defensive play came in the fourth on a line drive to center field.
O'Hara: Shirley (Daniels) made an awesome catch in center field. It was a line drive. It was pretty hard. Shirley's awesome out there. She had to sprint to a spot.
Ross: It was short, coming in to Shirley's left. She had to charge it. It was a good play. She got a jump on it. I'd expect Shirley to make that play because she's Shirley, because she's so fast out there. It wasn't as scary as Syd thought it was.
Lundstrom: I knew Shirley would bust to that ball. It was never a doubt for me at least.
Ross: In the fifth inning I'm like, 'Huh, she hasn't given up a hit yet.' I was thinking initially maybe we should get (Christina Clermont) in. She's a freshman, too, just to get her in there. Then I realized she hadn't given up a hit and it's, 'Oh no, Clermont's not coming in. No way.' It was so cold that I think some of them were oblivious to it. You're trying to stay warm somehow, you're winning, it's easy to go into cruise mode. I know (outfielder) Alexis Partyka was next to me and we were looking at each other. You know not to say anything. You just ask, 'What inning are we in? The fifth. Oh, OK.' You know what that means.
With one out remaining in the game, Austin Peay second baseman Laurel Burroughs hit a hard groundball to shortstop.
Ross: It was a hard-hit ball to Corey (Ozanne) at shortstop. Corey's a phenomenal shortstop. I don't know that most even make the play. It hit her throwing hand so when she went to release it, she couldn't feel her throwing hand. As soon as the ball is hit, everyone is holding their breath. It really surprised me. The throw (was up the line) so I knew it would be an error.
O' Hara: I thought they counted that as a hit. I didn't realize it was a no-hitter.
Lundstrom: I didn't know until after the game when Jenna asked me how it was catching my first no-hitter. You don't focus on all that.
Ross: Her parents were right by the dugouts and they reached out and hugged her. That was the only time I didn't care that parents were by the dugout hugging my players. That's great. They've always been very involved with Syd. That was the point where I was like, 'I don't care, that's deserved.' No-hitter is a different story.
O'Hara: I came off the field and my mom was bawling her eyes out. I gave her a hug, gave her the game ball. It was awesome.
