One of our more cherished beliefs, or at least desires, is that democratic governance is a key to a stable, productive society in which differences can be worked out through the political process.
Recent riots, murders and displacements in Kenya might cause some to question whether the most visible sign of democratic rule, elections, are more likely to exacerbate societal divisions than heal them.
On the politically unstable continent of Africa, Kenya has long been seen as a refuge of relative stability and productivity. It emerged from near-dictatorship under notoriously corrupt former president Daniel arap Moi five years ago when Mwai Kibaki, then allied with Raila Odinga, who beat Moi's hand-picked successor.
Something of a civil society emerged. Most Kenyans embraced a Kenyan identity, helped along by the fact that traditionally members of the 40 tribes in Kenya have intermarried and done business with one another.
But a contest for power can bring out the worst in political leaders. In Kenya, Odinga split from President Mibaki and challenged him in the presidential election held Dec. 27. Mibaki is a member of the Kikuyu tribe, traditionally dominant, while Odinga is of the Luo tribe. This was the first time members of different tribes had opposed one another in an election.
Beneath a veneer of stability Odinga and members of other tribes believe the Kikuyu have gotten more than their fair share of government benefits. During the campaign both leaders exploited latent ethnic hostilities to curry voter favor, urging people who had been friends and neighbors to start seeing one another through suspicious tribal eyes.
When Kibaki was declared the narrow winner in what was almost certainly a rigged election, violence erupted immediately. The leaders reaped the tribal hatred they had sown and the people suffered — an estimated 600 people dead by now and 250,000 displaced, some fleeing to neighboring countries.
An effort by Ghanaian President John Kufuor to end the political crisis has failed and former U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is giving mediation a try.
The crisis is a reminder that when the power of government to take property through taxation and rule by force is at stake, the raw side of political power — brute force — often rips aside the mask of democratic civility.

Threshing Day
Iowa Public Television
In the heat of July, binders leveled the field of oats leaving them in bundles, which were stacked into shocks to dry the stems. On threshing day the separator rattled up the lane behind the massive steam-traction engine and the neighbors converged on the farm—not only to work, but to swap news and to socialize as well. All this fuss, merely to separate the tiny grain from the straw.
When we were kids, when they were threshing, we would go out there and watch the threshing machine and how that would thresh and just sit around there and watch and that was wonderful. We had this good meal, this great big meal, and that was really the highlight of the year.
Everybody had to help. It used to take about from 8 to 10 teams and racks to haul the bundles in to the big threshing machine that could thresh 2,000 bushel a day. And then it would take about 3 or 4 teams and wagons to haul the thresh grain away. Usually the one who owned the oats, it was his job to stack the straw—and that was a hot, dirty job. And you always had to feed the gang. We had a great big table in here and the missus used to always kill about a half a dozen chickens and dress them the day we threshed, so then we had fried chicken for dinner.

The Pleasures Of Her Rack!
Klaudia Hot
The Pleasures Of Her Rack!
Klaudia sucks his cock some more, tittie-fucks him, and then rides him reverse cowgirl style, pressing her hands into her soft alluring boobies. She turns around and faces him, slipping her nipples into his mouth while she continues to ride his rod. As things heat up further, she lays upside down with her head on the floor and her butt still on the couch, as Marcus powers his prick into her from above. Her nummies hang down as he bangs her, giving us many nice views! Then she lays back on the couch for the finale, taking his tool first in her veeg and then between her bells, sucking him as he slides forward in her D-cup ditch until he blows a load on her mouth, on her neck, and at the top of her knockers. Hot fuck, Klaudia! Can we be next??

U.S. National English & Science Education Standards
The Cassini Scientist for a Day Essay Contest can be used as a classroom writing assignment in either English or Science classes. The assignment involves both inquiry-based learning and problem-based learning.
The essay contest meets the following U.S. National Standards for English and Science:
National Council of Teachers of English / International Reading Association
Standards for the English Language Arts:
(Source: http://www.ncte.org/standards )
7. Students conduct research on issues and interests by generating ideas and questions, and by posing problems. They gather, evaluate, and synthesize data from a variety of sources (e.g., print and non-print texts, artifacts, people) to communicate their discoveries in ways that suit their purpose and audience.
8. Students use a variety of technological and information resources (e.g., libraries, databases, computer networks, video) to gather and synthesize information and to create and communicate knowledge.

National Science Education Standards:
(Source: "National Science Education Standards" by National Research Council, National Academy Press 1996.)
Grades 5-8 -- Content:
Earth and Space Science – Earth in the Solar System – Most objects in the solar system are in regular and predictable motion. Those motions explain such phenomena as the day, the year, phases of the moon, and eclipses.
Grades 5-8 -- Process:
History and Nature of Science – Science as a Human Endeavor – Women and men of various social and ethnic backgrounds – and with diverse interests, talents, qualities, and motivations – engage in the activities of science, engineering, and related fields such as the health professions. Some scientists work in teams, and some work alone, but all communicate extensively with others.
Grades 9-12 -- Process:
Science as Inquiry – Understandings About Scientific Inquiry – Conceptual principles and knowledge guide scientific inquiries. Historical and current scientific knowledge influence the design and interpretation of proposed explanations made by other scientists.
– Scientists rely on technology to enhance the gathering and manipulation of data. New techniques and tools provide new evidence to guide inquiry and new methods to gather data, thereby contributing to the advance of science.
– Results of scientific inquiry – new knowledge and methods – emerge from different types of investigations and public communication among scientists. In communicating and defending the results of scientific inquiry, arguments must be logical and demonstrate connections between natural phenomena, investigations, and the historical body of scientific knowledge. In addition, the methods and procedures that scientists used to obtain evidence must be clearly reported to enhance opportunities for further investigation.
Science and Technology -- Understandings about Science and Technology
Scientists in different disciplines ask different questions, use different methods of investigation, and accept different types of evidence to support their explanations. Many scientific investigations require the contributions of individuals from different disciplines, including engineering.
– Creativity, imagination, and a good knowledge base are all required in the work of science and engineering.
History and Nature of Science – Science as a Human Endeavor – Individuals and teams have contributed and will continue to contribute to the scientific enterprise. Doing science or engineering can be as simple as an individual conducting field studies or as complex as hundreds of people working on a major scientific question or technological problem. Pursuing science as a career or as a hobby can be both fascinating and intellectually rewarding.
History and Nature of Science – Historical Perspectives – Usually changes in science occur as small modifications in extant knowledge. The daily work of science and engineering results in incremental advances in our understanding of the world.
History and Nature of Science – Historical Perspectives – The historical perspective of scientific explanations demonstrates how scientific knowledge changes by evolving over time, almost always building on earlier knowledge.

Anyone gone to a conference and had to pump? I'm trying to figure out where I can go, and my only options seem to be the ladies room or my car. I can't skip the lunchtime session because I'll be in pain by the end of the day.

I've had all-day mediation sessions and other events where I've had to come up with a pumping solution on the fly. Worst case scenario, I bring a hand pump and use the ladies' room. Keep in mind that you may not have access to electrical outlets in the ladies' room. Otherwise, your car might be more comfortable, if you can get away for that long. It's worth asking the conference site if there's another option, too.

My little boy is my everything.
Under similar circumstances, I have pumped in my car, usually in a dark-ish parking lot, many times. It's really not so bad. I use a nursing cover to cover up the pumping parts, and I just read my book and listen to music (I idle my car so that I can use the car's A/C outlet rather than the pump batteries - not the greatest thing for the environment, but you do what you gotta do, it's not something I do often, just when I need to). Honestly, for me this is easier than asking about an area for pumping. No one needs to know what I'm up to.
You can call me JoMo!

I had a late flight once, couldn't get a late check-out, and I hate pumping in airports, so I asked the front desk ahead of time if there was any place I could use. This hotel had a spa, and they had me call up there. The lady FELL ALL OVER HERSELF accommodating me - brought me a glass of water w/ a slice of orange, pillows for my back, the works. I used one of their massage rooms and it worked out perfectly. Best pumping output I had the whole trip

I've been to conferences that actually had a mother's room (AVMA conference) where electric outlets, comfortable chairs and some privacy were available. I've been to others where none of that existed, and I just found an unused room and plugged my pump in there

i just got finished with a two day conference and used my car the whole time. I work with primarily males, so pumping is just not understood/accounted for. If I were to do it again, I would definitely ask the hotel directly for a place to pump. I only had the battery pack and it just does not work the same way as an outlet. It is nice in a sense because I sat out there and listened to music and relaxed, but it took me twenty minutes to pump when it usually takes me ten.

Thanks for the input. I've got a freestyle pump, so I don't need to worry about an outlet, thankfully. When I called the location, the guy offered me the bathroom. I'll probably just use the car, unless I can find a better solution. The site has free wireless, and it would be really cool to sit in my car and surf the web while pumping.
I'm also feeling kinda like a freak at this point, pumping for an almost 18 month old. A couple other women in my group had kids the same time as mine, and they stopped nursing a while ago. Oh well.

You don't have to tell anyone that your baby is 18 months old. And stopping pumping doesn't equal stopping nursing.
Congrats to you for pumping this long!!

Top UBS executive Carsten Kengeter to exit
Top UBS executive Carsten Kengeter, who oversaw a period of instability and big losses at the firm's investment bank, is set to resign, people familiar with the matter said late yesterday.
Kengeter's departure marks the latest bout of turmoil at the troubled Swiss company, which has been rocked by a long string of setbacks and scandals in recent years. He is the head of UBS's non-core division, which manages the billions of dollars of assets the bank is looking to shed as part of a restructuring.
Until last autumn, however, he oversaw UBS investment bank, which suffered a number of severe blows under his watch. In 2011, a so-called rogue trader on a UBS equities trading desk in London racked up $2.3bn in losses. That scandal ultimately led to the departure of UBS's then-chief executive, Oswald Gruebel.
UBS announced the departure of Kengeter, 45 years old, in an internal memo yesterday evening that was reviewed by the Wall Street Journal.
The memo said Sam Molinaro, a former top Bear Stearns executive who joined UBS last March, will be replacing Kengeter as head of the non-core division.
Kengeter's departure comes after the Journal on Friday reported he had been a recipient of internal emails in 2009 regarding a UBS derivatives trader named Tom Hayes. US authorities have charged Hayes with attempting to manipulate benchmark interest rates including the London interbank offered rate, or Libor. One email of which people familiar with the matter say Kengeter was a recipient noted that Hayes was "invaluable" to UBS because of his ability to sway Libor.
A person familiar with the circumstances surrounding Kengeter's departure said it was already in the works and wasn't related to Libor. This person said the departure stemmed in part from Kengeter not having a close relationship with UBS chief executive Sergio Ermotti and having lost authority last year after veteran dealmaker Andrea Orcel joined UBS from Bank of America.
Kengeter's departure follows UBS moving more quickly than expected to get rid of billions of dollars worth of unwanted assets. The memo said Kengeter will leave after a "short transition" and in the meantime will continue to advise UBS on the unwinding of the non-core portfolio, the memo added.
UBS is now scaling back. The bank last year announced plan to cut about 10,000 jobs, many of those in the investment bank. That unit also is exiting large swaths of its businesses, a recognition that it lacked the heft to compete against Wall Street giants in areas like bond underwriting.
Kengeter joined UBS from Goldman Sachs in late 2008, just as UBS was buckling under the weight of toxic assets and needed to be bailed out by the Swiss government.
In 2009, Kengeter was named to head the investment bank, alongside a colleague, before eventually taking sole responsibility. Last summer, UBS hired Orcel from Bank of America to co-run the investment bank. The pair shared power for about three months before Orcel became the unit's lone boss.
Molinaro, whose new job begins immediately, will report directly to Ermotti. Molinaro joined UBS last March as chief operating officer of its investment bank and was most recently operating chief of the non-core portfolio.
He had been finance chief and chief operating officer at Bear Stearns before that firm was absorbed by JP Morgan Chase in 2008, one of the first major casualties of the financial crisis.

One issue that challenges all of us and does not discriminate by region is the drop out problem. One student that drops out is one too many.
Just this week, the Daily Illini, the
According to the article, titled "Academy gives dropouts second chances," last fall Jessica Long gave up on school. "I needed a better life," the 17-year-old said. "High school wasn't for me." She added that she had never been a good student and finally stopped going altogether.
But she found that a life of working at Subway, McDonald's, and at the mall and crashing with friends wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. This past winter a friend suggested that Long obtain her General Equivalency Degree. Five weeks after enrolling in Lincoln's Challenge Academy (LCA) in Rantoul, Long had already filled out an application to Parkland Community College, where she plans to study dental hygiene.
I'm afraid to say, and many of you will likely affirm this, that there are many students out there similar to Long, who give up but unlike her never start over.
Studies have repeatedly shown that the future for students who drop out of high school is often a bleak one. Dropouts are almost twice as likely to be unemployed as recent high school graduates, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Dropouts are more than twice as likely to receive some sort of government welfare benefit as graduates, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And they are far likelier than graduates to end up in jail. Almost 70 percent of state prison inmates did not finish high school, according to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics.
Senator Miguel Del Valle and other legislators have brought this issue to the forefront. He has sponsored Senate Bill 2918 to offer incentives for school district to re-enroll students in a graduation incentives program. The bill also provides means for school districts to recover costs of offering such programs.
Our input on this issue is vital to preventing our students from dropping out. We need to find successful and creative ways to stem the tide of dropouts and implement programs that will assist us in preventing students from and capturing them if they do leave school.
I am familiar with a successful program offered in the

Legislative Update
The Senate
Education Committee finished the last of three statewide hearings on Senate
Bills 3000 and 3001 last weeks in
Most of the testimony last week, similar to the other hearings, was from superintendents and local business officials who oppose both Senate Bills 3000 and 3001. I think what came out of these hearings is that local superintendents and school boards have a great deal of questions and concerns regarding the Governor's plan, including:
· The apparent swapping of one bureaucracy for another.
· The lack of information on how school funding will be addressed.
· A great loss in local control over purchasing and construction.
The potential for education in
· The apparent unconstitutionality of the proposal.
It has been three months since the Governor announced his education plan, yet most legislators and educators still have more questions than answers:
· How will a Department of Education reduce bureaucracy?
· How will the Governor reduce the headcount of his proposed education agency by 300 employees without impacting services?
· What effect will this have on districts?
· How will his plan save $1 billion over four years?
· How will this address student achievement?
· Will a new Department of Education advocate for adequate school funding?
· What rules and regulations will be eliminated?
As the General Assembly returns next week, I encourage you to contact your legislators to voice your concerns about the Governor's education plan.
In addition there will be several important hearings next week that I will be testifying on. On Tuesday, I will be appearing before the House Appropriations committee to discuss Poverty Grants and on Thursday I will be appearing before the Senate Appropriations Committee to discuss the proposed ISBE FY05 budget. The Committee will be taking public testimony, so for those who are able to do so, I would encourage you to join me on Thursday at in room 212 of the Capitol.
E-Grant Workshops Begin Next Week

text: I had a preemie baby who had a horrible time learning to suck and swallow effectively, so I have been pumping and giving him bottles for the last 7 weeks. I have had to stop because of a few medical problems that need immediate medication that would be harmful to him. I feel a little guilty about it. My question is... how long after you stop lactating can you still relactate? I don't know that I will try it or not later, but I was just wondering in case things get better in like 4 months..

The strike force will also target passenger vehicles that interact unsafely with commercial vehicles. Counties targeted will be McMullen and Dimmit.
Deployment of the strike force in McMullen county will cover SH-16, SH-72 and county roads. In Dimmit county US 83, US 277, SH-85 and all roadways which has been identified as having high concentrations of unsafe commercial vehicles and/or drivers.
The DPS will implement two waves in October 2012. Wave 1 will start Oct. 24-26 with the second wave from Oct. 29-31. Although Texas has experienced a reduction in commercial vehicle related crashes over the last few years, we continue to maintain the unenviable distinction of leading the nation in these types of crashes. The oilfield boom has resulted in a significant increase in commercial vehicle traffic in these counties. Commercial vehicles transporting oilfield equipment and hazardous materials to job site locations have accelerated damage to highways in these counties. Complaints of reckless driving behavior by commercial vehicle operators require prompt action to combat CVE and passenger vehicles crashes.
With these enforcement strike force operations, personnel will enhance inspection activities of commercial vehicles and drivers on designated highways and routes with high concentrations of unsafe commercial vehicles drivers on highways with known criminal activity involving commercial vehicles.
Inspection activities will include the enforcement of overweight/size violations, registration and permit violation, hazardous material violations, and traffic enforcement violation of aggressive CMV drivers such as speeding, unsafe lane change, following too close and any and all other violations.
These operations will ultimately improve highway safety by targeting unsafe commercial vehicles, and passenger vehicles interacting unsafely with commercial vehicles.
Total personnel for the strike force includes 42 DPS Trooper and four supervisors.

Two hikers have died from injuries suffered on Oahu's trails over the weekend.
The latest is a man in his 70s, who reportedly fell 30 feet head first into some boulders off Mariner's Ridge Trail in Hawaii Kai Sunday morning.
According to emergency responders, the man died at the scene.
The man was part of an excursion of the Honolulu Korean Hikers Club.
Investigators say he was on the trail near the scenic lookout when he lost his footing and fell.
The Honolulu Fire Department transported the hiker to Kamiloiki Community Park, where ambulance crews were not able to revive him.
Meanwhile, a hiker who fell off the ridge in Ka'a'awa Saturday died on Sunday.
A friend hiking behind her tells KITV4 it happened all too quickly.
Aaron McClendon says Elizabeth Tarpey arranged the weekend hike on the Pu'u Manamana hiking trail.
The three friends had already been hiking for three hours when they started going down the back side of the trail, down the Kahekili Manamana Loop near Crouching Lion.
McClendon said Tarpey stepped on a patch of loose soil, slipped and fell 300 feet.
"The whole thing happened in slow motion," McClendon told KITV. "I remember seeing her go over and seeing her face while she was going down the side."
As Tarpey started to fall, she screamed. McClendon was behind her and tried to save her life.
"One of her legs went over and I was right behind her," McClendon described. "I reached out to grab her but I was too far back. Then her entire body went over and I saw her fall about a hundred feet before she disappeared."
The Honolulu Fire Department was there within minutes.
They made more than five attempts before they were able to get to Tarpey.
She was transported to the trauma center in serious condition where she later died.

According to the latest report from the office of State Comptroller Susan Combs, sales tax rebates for both entities were down, based on sales made during the eleventh month of the year.
Beeville's rebate was $315,954.82 for this month. That was a decrease of 9.11 percent when compared to the $347,642.44 the city received last January.
Bee County saw a similar drop in sales tax rebates from Austin.
Combs' report showed that the county received a rebate of $151,840.47 this month, also based on sales made in November.
That was down by 11.68 percent from the $191,939.13 the county received last year.
Sales taxes are collected by businesses and sent to the comptroller's office, either monthly or quarterly, depending on the size of the business.
Combs' office then rebates the portion of the sales tax collected in the taxing entity, depending on the percentage collected in that entity.
Statewide, $573.5 million was sent out to cities, counties, transit systems and special taxing district across Texas.
Cities across the state saw rebates increase by 7.4 percent to $375.1 million. Counties collected $36.4 million for a decrease of 0.4 percent compared to that collected last January.

All Grown Up Now1 of 10
By Denise Wolfe
By 35, we're certainly not old, but we're older. Wiser. More experienced. We've got a story or two under our belts. We've learned from, and can laugh at, (some of) our mistakes. And while that doesn't mean we're total pros at relationships, we're a little more discerning. We're pickier in some ways, less so in others. We know what we want, and what we don't want. Read on to find out what it's really like to be a woman dating in your mid-30s and beyond.
Meet & Greet2 of 10
You are modern in the ways you meet men, even if you're traditional in your values. Of course you're Internet savvy, and you're on more than one dating site at a time. You're chatty when shopping or in an elevator. (You never know where or when love will strike.) You've learned to play safely: You always meet strangers in a public place, and you never enter a new man's car or apartment without telling a trusted someone where you are. You urge your friends to set you up. Suppose it's a horrible date—so what? You've survived worse.
Forget Fairy Tales3 of 10
It's not about lowering your standards. It's about choosing better standards by which to judge. No longer "OMG, he's gorgeous!" Rather, "I feel so happy and relaxed when I'm with him." So what if he drives a beat-up 2003 Saturn and wears tasseled loafers with plaid socks—he makes you laugh (with him, not at him) and leaves generous tips. By 35, most women have let go of impossible notions of Prince Charming and have embraced instead a more realistic depiction of Mr. Right.
Friend Alert4 of 10
You no longer desire a clinging-vine kind of romance. That might have been fun when you were younger ("You hang up first," "No, you hang up first"), but now it's more than OK that he plays baseball weekly with the guys, and you have your book group. He doesn't have to love Downton Abbey just because you do, and he's on his own if he wants to hit a NASCAR race. Being apart makes being together even more special.
Me Time5 of 10
Because you've learned how to date a man without submerging yourself in him, you've also come to enjoy your alone time. After all, it may have taken you 25+ years to understand yourself but, now that you do (or at least you're on the way), you won't give that up.
For What It's Worth6 of 10
You want a man who's financially stable. Not necessarily a gazillionaire … just a grown-up. He understands hard work; he knows paychecks don't grow on trees; he can handle delayed gratification. Conversely, you can earn more than he does. Traditional expectations—that having a breadwinner wife is emasculating, or that if/when you have babies, he has to be provider and protector—have changed.
Gut Feelings7 of 10
You recognize red flags earlier, and you trust your gut instinct. You no longer put up with macho posturing or the least bit of misogyny. If he ever seriously calls you "the little woman" or "the old ball-and-chain," you're out the door. Yes, you're in love, but you're not stupid.
Listening Skills8 of 10
You believe what a man says about himself. If he growls, "Baby, I'm trouble!" you run. If he says he isn't looking for anything serious, you run. If he tells you he doesn't want kids, you don't stick around trying to change his mind. He's not wrong; he's just not right for you.
Baggage Check9 of 10
You have baggage; he has baggage. You have learned to accept that he has loved women before you. He may have even been married. He may have kids. While still daunting, these things no longer terrify you in quite the same way, just as you would expect for a guy not to be scared off by our own relationship history.
The End...10 of 10
If you want kids or think you might, then by 35, you can't ignore your biological clock. The loud, reverberating tick-tock is a constant reminder that the stakes are higher. That doesn't necessarily mean you want babies RIGHT THIS SECOND. Or that you even want to get married. You've realized that your definition of happily ever after is an evolving one, and although you may not know exactly what you want, you are most definitely thinking along different lines than you did in your 20s and early 30s.

Businesses may charge online tax
PARKERSBURG – Taxing online sales leves the playing field for retailers, lawmakers and businessmen say.
The West Virginia Legislature passed the bill, HB 2754, during this past regular session. The bill requires online retailers to start applying West Virginia's sales tax if they or a subsidiary have a physical presence in-state.
The bill was approved by the governor on Tuesday. It is effective July 12. Amazon.com recently opened a customer service center in Huntington.
A complaint from a number of companies here is they have to charge sales tax while the Internet companies do not.
The bill passed the state Senate 34-0 and passed in the House of Delegates 84-12 with four delegates not voting on it.
All of the delegates and senators representing Wood County voted in favor of the bill.
Delegate Dan Poling, D-Wood, said the bill helps small businesses around the state.
Poling felt Internet retailers were getting an unfair tax break in the state, which amounted to an unfair advantage.
"Small businesses are struggling," he said. "Many of these businesses have played by the rules for years.
"This bill does not give some an unfair advantage over others."
Delegate Bill Anderson, R-Wood, said it was a "matter of fairness."
There are a number of businesses in the state, with physical locations in West Virginia, who retail to the public and have to pay the state sales tax.
"Those businesses are already at a 6 percent disadvantage to Internet retailers," Anderson said. "These are the businesses that provide jobs to many of our communities.
"This bill helps put everyone on a more level playing field, he said.."
With Internet sales on the rise, there has been an erosion of the state sales tax collections and the state having difficulty meeting the cost of basic services.
The state's budget had to be cut by 7.5 percent, which will result in higher tuition costs to college students to make up some of the cuts made to higher education.
Collecting sales tax from all businesses in the state with physical locations here will help make up some of the lost revenue the state has to deal with, Anderson said.
"It is a matter of fairness to businesses as Internet sales continue to increase," he said.
Sen. David Nohe, R-Wood, said if a company has a physical location in West Virginia it is doing business from then it needs to charge the sales tax, then it doesn't need to charge the sales tax.
There is a move in the U.S. Congress to put a sales tax on everything sold online, Nohe said.
He is hopeful it will not pass.
Many lawmakers looked at the state's bill as a way where the sales tax would only apply to companies with physical locations in the state and the state would not try to get into trying to collect from companies elsewhere without a physical location here.
"Many looked at it as a compromise," he said.
Delegate John Ellem, R-Wood, said there was a concern by many over fairness in that many retailers in the state already have to factor that tax into the price of doing business and it impacts the prices retailers charge. Many felt there was an unfair advantage for Internet retailers who did not have to factor in that tax.
"Many businesses already have the cost and burden of figuring out that tax and getting it to the state," he said.
Ellem said he had received a number of emails in support of this bill from people around the state. He did not receive anything from anyone opposed to it.
"This bill evens the playing field," he said.
Local business leaders have said the bill puts businesses on more of an equal footing across the board.
"This legislation is intended to make a more level playing field between local retailers and out-of-state online retailers with regard to sales tax requirements," said Jill Parsons, president/CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of the Mid-Ohio Valley. "If an online retailer has a physical presence in the state, they are already collecting sales tax on purchases made in their storefronts; this legislation would also require the retailer to collect sales tax on online purchases made by residents."
Online retailers historically argued that collecting state-specific sales tax was a burden, Parsons said.
"With computerized programs, state interfaces and the national Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement adopted by many states including West Virginia, this argument is essentially negated," she said. "This legislation is a component of the national Marketplace Fairness Act and as the name implies is designed to make commerce fair across all forms and markets."
The legislation is still awaiting the governor's signature to be passed into law.

Big Island police say a fire in the Keaukaha area of Hilo caused the closure of Kalaniana'ole Avenue for several hours Thursday.
At approximately 8:18 a.m., South Hilo patrol officers responded to a report of a fire on the 1900 block of Kalaniana'ole Avenue.
Upon arrival, they found an older single-family dwelling and surrounding shrubbery burning and Fire Department personnel fighting the flames.
Fire officials say the home was engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. The fire apparatus could not get into the driveway because it was too narrow, according to fire officials. The driveway was also about 225-feet-long.
There were no occupants in the house at the time of the fire.
Due to the location, traffic was stopped all the way to Richardson Beach Park until firefighters were able to bring the fire under control. The road was reopened at 12:30 p.m.
Fire Department personnel are investigating the cause of the fire.
Damage is estimated at $45,000.

Last month, on the day my period started, I had a few cramps, felt a little bloated, was slightly irritable, and noticed a lovely little pimple just to the left of center on my forehead. On most days, making all that go away (except the pimple) would be as easy as going out for a run. But on that day, lacing up my sneakers was too daunting. I felt exhausted, and gearing up for a workout seemed incredibly difficult. So I skipped the run—and didn't feel better until the next day.
Why So Tired?
I didn't think much about why I felt too tired to exercise that day, but if you have ever experienced something similar, there may be an explanation. A study from the University of Adelaide in Australia suggests that the phenomenon is quite real and probably related to hormone levels, which vary dramatically throughout the course of the menstrual cycle.
According to the study, exercise is most difficult from approximately three days prior to beginning the menstrual period to ovulation. During this time, two of the principle menstrual cycle hormones, estrogen and progesterone, are low.
Researchers believed that these hormones may influence the body's energy metabolism at rest and during exercise. They suggested that when these hormone levels are low, women may end up contending with more waste products—such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide—from the metabolic consumption of carbohydrates. This can contribute to muscle soreness and premature fatigue.
Testing Their Theory
In the study, a group of women went through the same exercises at different points during their menstrual cycles. Although the women completed the same exercise test in both phases of the menstrual cycle, the exercise test conducted at the beginning of the month took longer to complete and the women reported feeling more physically and mentally fatigued at this time point.
Exercise Could Help (If You Weren't So Tired)
The fact that hormone levels may lead to difficulty with exercise during the menstrual period is unfortunate. Exercise is a good remedy for the symptoms many women encounter before and during their periods. Exercise can improve your mood, increase your metabolism, and help reduce bloating. In addition, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises women to exercise to help alleviate menstrual cramps.
According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, all adults need at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity aerobic physical activity each week, which amounts to 30 minutes a day.
What About Your Diet?
If period fatigue is in fact a result of low levels of estrogen and progesterone leading to poor metabolism of carbohydrates, then limiting your intake of simple carbohydrates like refined sugars just before and during your period may help combat the fatigue. Also, limiting salt may help reduce bloating and limiting caffeine might help with irritability.
There are also nutritional supplements that may help with premenstrual syndrome symptoms:
- Calcium can reduce pain, cramping, and mood swings
- Magnesium can reduce headache, fluid retention, and mood changes
- Vitamin E can help with breast tenderness
Talk to your doctor before you begin taking any vitamins or supplements.
Medication May Help
Every woman's menstrual cycle is different. Track your symptoms over time to learn your specific patterns and share them with your doctor if you are concerned. If you have severe symptoms and fatigue before and during your period, even after incorporating lifestyle changes, there are medications that might help. Talk to your doctor about your options.

I usually breastfeed from the time I get home from work till the next morning. I am worried that if I try to pump in between feedings after work that I won't have enough milk to mix with the cereal. Our pediatrician recommended feeding a little bit of formula with the cereal before breastfeeding. Will that damage my supply? I can't afford even the slighted decrease in supply as I am making just enough for her now!

I've always used the above in a negative sense: "I don't get out much anymore."
Recently I've begun hearing/reading it without the negative: "It's too cold for me anymore" or "All I read is Nora Roberts anymore."
Is this an USn regional thing? Or does it cross ponds?

Dear AS: your first quote was part of a popular song, which can have helped its currency. The phrase itself looks to the past, and often to something lost or regretted, so repetition impossible or undesired. I'm having difficulty thinking of use of it omitting the negative, unless I use it as two separate words.
Your second two quotes seem rather awkward.

I'd never heard of this usage, so I was surprised to see lots of examples show up on the Harvard dialect survey of US English:
See questions 54 to 57. The first two are rated as massively unacceptable (only about 5%), but the latter two have about a 20% or more acceptability. I'm not clear what the grammatical situation is that makes them different.
Traditional "some" is for positive statements, "I've got some", and "any" is for questions and negatives and suchlike, "Have you got any?" and "I haven't got any".
With "any more" I can make questions and negatives "Do you go there any more?" and "I don't go there any more" but there doesn't seem to be a positive: you have to say "I still go there", I suppose.

In reply to:

This may be how the rule is traditionally formulated, but I'm not sure it's correct. It doesn't take into account such positive sentences as "Any of them will do."

Recently I've begun hearing/reading it without the negative: "It's too cold for me anymore" or "All I read is Nora Roberts anymore."
I have heard this usage. A typical example to me would be something like It seems like all we ever do is fight anymore. It expresses a recent trend that is a departure from the way things used to be. Both of the examples you gave fit this pattern. It's too cold for me anymore (but I used to be happy with the climate). All I read is Nora Roberts anymore (but I used to have wider reading interests).

"Any of them will do."
"Any" also occurs in positive conditionals: "If you've got any". It's used anywhere that isn't an ordinary positive statement.
I think the "any" in "Any of them will do" -- oh look, and "anywhere that" -- is a quantifier, like "every". It's the difference between "I want to go somewhere warm" and "I want to go anywhere it's warm": one is some indefinite place, the other ranges over all such places.
The dialectal use of "anymore" must be a reinterpretation of some aspect of this -- non-real, or quantified, or something, but I couldn't see what was the bit of grammar or meaning that was actually doing it.

"It's too cold for me anymore"
I haven't heard 'anymore' used in that way on this side of the pond. It seems as though it is perhaps being used in place of 'nowadays'.

"I haven't heard 'anymore' used in that way on this side of the pond. It seems as though it is perhaps being used in place of 'nowadays'."
Yes, that's how I've heard my older relatives use it. As kind of a synonym for "these days"

Interesting, what Gurunet says (from AHD). I have to say, I hadn't realized it was alloneword.
an·y·more (ĕn'ē-môr', -mōr')
a. Any longer; at the present: Do they make this model anymore?
b. From now on: We promised not to quarrel anymore.
Chiefly Midland U.S. Nowadays.
REGIONAL NOTE In standard American English the word anymore is often found in negative sentences: They don't live here anymore. But anymore is widely used in regional American English in positive sentences with the meaning nowadays: We use a gas stove anymore (Oklahoma informant in DARE). Its use, which appears to be spreading, is centered in the South Midland and Midwestern states, as well as in the Western states that received settlers from those areas. The earliest recorded examples are from Northern Ireland, where the positive use of anymore still occurs.
For reasons lost in the mists of time, I have the idea that saying any longer is the grammatically correct version.

To me, there seems to be a subtle difference between 'anymore' and 'any more.'
The former has a negative connotation, as debated above, but the latter is more universal.
I would say "I have not found any more mushrooms." but, "I don't seem to be able to find mushrooms anymore."(especially if I was speaking toConnie!)
I would never say, "Have you got anymore mushrooms." - it would be, "Have you got any more mushrooms."
Does this obscure things a little better?

Staff writer | November 18,2012MONTPELIER Gary Sachs of Brattleboro was a long way from the gates of Vermont Yankee or the headquarters for Entergy on Saturday. He was in Montpelier, bringing his protest against the aging nuclear power plant and its owner to the steps of the Statehouse.
I think it is important for those of us who know about Entergy and Entergys role in the state to be here and call them out on it because they are not being fair. They have not honored their word. They have violated agreements they have made with the state. They have not done what they said they would do, Sachs said, standing outside Montpelier City Hall, waiting to line up to march down Main and State streets to the Statehouse.
Sachs, a longtime and vocal opponent of Vermont Yankee, drove up with several other activists and protesters from the Brattleboro area. In the crowd of about 125 people many of them holding props, signs and slogans Sachs said about 20 of the people were from his neck of the state.
He said they will go where they need to to make sure their message is heard.
Shortly before 1 p.m., the crowd, under police escort, made its way through the capital city. A three-piece band led the march, which included protesters as young as 4 and several in their 80s. Many of the protesters in Montpelier on Saturday were grass-roots activists, including members of town energy committees and church groups. Protesters from Keene, N.H., a town located across the border from Vermont Yankee, as well as individuals from neighboring Massachusetts towns, also were in the crowd.
They carried signs that stated Put er down and Freedom from corporate tyranny. Many protesters carried pre-printed cards stating, Retire Vermont Yankee as planned.
At the Statehouse, the group led by a dozen speakers reiterated many of the reasons why they believe the Public Service Board should reject Entergys Certificate of Public Good, a request to remain licensed for another 20 years: reliability, lack of economic benefit, waste, pollution, broken promises, and more.
But there was one notable irony that lobbyist Bob Stannard pointed out to the gathering.
You know you are making history today, he said. You know why? This is the first time people have come together in the state of Vermont to support the Public Service Board.
On Monday evening, at locations across the state including the Department of Labor in Montpelier, members of the public will have the opportunity to testify before the board, outlining their concerns about keeping the nuclear power plant operational.
Historically, the PSB has been the target of much of the activists concerns on the Vermont Yankee issue.
And while the plea to offer testimony on Monday evening was repeated throughout the protest, the crowd was well aware of their efforts up to Saturday, and the rallying cry to keep up the fight at all levels was made.
Johanna Miller, the energy program director for Vermont Natural Resources Council, told the crowd, Thank you for showing up today. Thank you for showing up on so many days before, and for investing countless hours to do the right thing and say goodbye to Vermont Yankee-Entergy. ... It has served its useful life. It is time for it to go. I am glad to see we are here in solidarity. We have a brighter energy future ahead of us (without Yankee).
(Entergy) is very persistent. They have a lot of money at stake in this debate, said Sen. Anthony Pollina, a Progressive who represents Washington County. Unfortunately for them, they are not as persistent as Vermonters are. We have even more at stake in this debate. ... That persistence is going to pay off.
Inside the Statehouse, the Progressive caucus was meeting. At one point, as a show of solidarity, the entire caucus about two dozen members also joined the crowd.
Pollina pointed back to 2010, when the Vermont Senate voted against the relicensing of Vermont Yankee. He described that day as a homecoming for citizen activism because of all of the people who were crammed into the Statehouse for that historic vote. We got here today because of all of you and all of us ... It is that kind of work that has to continue.
Deb Katz of the Citizens Awareness Network yelled to the crowd, We are Vermont Yankees employer and we are saying youre fired. Weve had enough.
Katz was critical of Entergys management in regard to informing state leaders about maintenance, underground leaks at Yankee, as well as questions raised about testimony given to officials that proved inaccurate. When they talk about reliable, you talk about how they cant be trusted.
Katz also urged the crowd to tell the PSB to turn down Entergys request.
It is essential we all stay involved at this point, she said. It is essential the Public Service Board has our support. They need to know we still care, and that we still say no.
Organizers said given all of the other activities that were scheduled Saturday that took away some of their numbers, they were pleased with the turnout.
Sachs summed up, We come because we know its important. We will always come out because of that.

Come for the snow and blow all your dough
Let me start out this entry on a positive note. My oldest daughter Naomi (22) is back home for a while and we're glad to have her. She'll be with us on Rockies opening day🙂. Tomorrow for the first time in too damn long the family and I are going snowboarding.
(<——-Krista on the bunny hill)
We're heading out to Eldora Ski Resort because through my employer they have a deal for lift tickets for thirty bucks and a free lunch.
Here in Colorado that's a pretty good deal which leads me into an official Rant.
Been a while huh?
WTF is up with the prices that the ski resorts are charging? Have you seen what sheet costs lately?
It's been two years since I've really checked into the prices and let me just say they were whacked two years ago.
Let me give you some ski resort facts, this will blow your mind.
The price for a lift ticket at:
Keystone Ski Resort– Adult $ 92.00 Child– $49.00
Oh yeah, if you don't have any equipment:
Snowboard Rental- $44.00
Ski Rental- Adult (cheap skis) $32.00 Child- $20.00
Better hope you remember all of your outerwear because if you forget something and have to purchase it at the resort, be prepared for prices that make a baseball stadium prices look cheap.
Why is this sport so damn expensive? Yes there are deals if you ski multiple days and deals if you buy early and deals if you buy a family pass. But who has over a thousand to shell out before Christmas?
I'm snowboarding Eldora with my wife and three kids tomorrow. I'm going to use Eldora's current prices for my "In your face" example of how ridiculous it's become.
Eldora Ski Resort, smaller resort, close to Boulder, very close to where I'll be living.
Adult full day pass: $62.00
Half day pass (starts 12:30) : $52.00 …world of advice, the best snow is in the morning.
Junior Full day pass: $37.00
So my total is up to $260.00 for three adults and two juniors.
In this example we do not have our own equipment so we'll need to rent.
Snowboard Rental: $41.00 a day for an adult and $35 a day for a child.
So we have three adult snowboard rentals and two children = $193.00
Total so far = $453.00
After we got there I realized Mylee for got her Jacket and Hunter forgot his snowboard pants. No worries the resort rents those items also.
Mylee's jacket– $20.00
Hunter's pants– $20.00
Total so far = $493.00
Remember now I haven't added gas for the trip = minimum $20.00
On the drive up you've got to stop for that fast food breakfast = $30.00
Total so far = $543.00
So ponder this,….if a resort charges twenty bucks to let you wear a jacket for a couple hours. Imagine what they charge to put a meal in your stomach that'll hang with you for a while.
Most resorts don't post their food prices otherwise I'd have a few listed. But lets go cheap and say lunch will be $12.00 each (That's cheap for a ski resort believe me).
Tack on another sixty bucks for lunch and another twenty minimum for hot chocolate.
Total = $603.00
Remember this was the cost for smaller resort Eldora not Keystone.
Please don't hit me with a bunch of comments about how you can pack a lunch, and buy used snowboard equipment, and purchase an early season pass. Remember the above scenario was only an example.
If anybody can do Colorado on a budget,…its me.
We all have our own equipment except for Hunter who outgrew his board and Naomi who doesn't have a snowboard.
That's the reason we're taking advantage of this great deal for us from Eldora Ski Resort.
So as long as you don't get the munchies or run out of sunblock, this day of fun in the Colorado mountains will cost you $ 603 hard earned dollars for a family of five to go snowboarding.
That my friends is F'n ridiculous. So thank you Colorado Resorts for taking one of the coolest family sports and making the whole experience so expensive my only fix is to watch Warren Miller re-runs.
By being a resident of Colorado you should rewarded with a free "All Mountain Pass".
(<——-Me after a day of snowboarding)
Don't worry Colorado Ski Resorts the loss would be minimal, I'm sure you could compensate by raising the food prices a bit more or how about charging for parking?
Some resorts already do.
Am I out of line here? How often do you spend $600.00 on a days entertainment?
My advice is if you want to ski in Colorado don't have children or get a second job and start saving now.Look for some spectacular video and pictures tomorrow and I'll show you a picture of what a free lunch at a ski resort looks like?

I hope you still have a great time! Me? I ready for the snow to go away!
Have fun! As a random note, I'm now rooting for Chris Iannetta because he wears #20 and that's the number I have for softball.
Go Chris!
Despite the fact that those prices are absolutely insane, have a great time. There's nothing better than spending time with your family. And am I mistaken, or is that a pug sleeping on your shoulder? 🙂 By the way, thanks for your advice on getting autographs. I only got three, but I have a much better idea of what to do next year!
Hey D,
First I gotta say "Pug puppies! How adorable!"
Man, I haven't skied in years but had no idea that's how much lift tickets had gotten to. Dang, that's ridiculous. I think they should give a resident discount like they do for the recreation centers only in this case for Colorado residents. (Oh, and I love the pict with the snowboard. Ha! Ha! Ha!).
You countin' down the days? I can barely stand the wait. Hoping for decent weather.
JULIA-Me too, but you've got to play in the snow every once in a while.
ELLIE-you picked a really good Rockie to root for.
JEN-That's exactly as many autographs I got my first spring training. You see how good I did on my second trip. Yes it's my pug, I have two pugs and a puggle. Elway, Nugget and Bronco.
R-LUV-Thanks, yes I'm counting, I totally agreee on the Colorado resident discount….D
Hey D, just think, instead of spending $600 going snowboarding, you could buy:
3 adult rockpile tix and 2 kids rockpile tickets for $14 total
That gives you $586 left to buy food, so you could each buy roughly 10 Rockies Dogs, 2 Squishies, 2 Caramel Corn, 4 Large Sodas, and some nice souvenirs🙂 I hope you are hungry lol!
Whoa! Now I remember why I decided skiing was not for me. Well, the cost plus the fact that I really don't like to be cold. After skiing a few times and seeing how expensive it is and how much "stuff" is needed, I decided I much preferred to vacation by snorkeling in warm water – a snorkel and swimsuit take up a lot less room in your luggage too! Try to have fun anyway, and don't think about how much you're spending.🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
And that my friend is one reason why I have never been to a Ski Resort to ski, snowboard, and/or tube. Other than that reason, I am also one who isn't a fan of snowboarding, so, count me out. It sucks lint was the only thing left in your pockets at the end of the day but what about the good family times man? You gotta respect what family does for you, and from reading your blog thus far, I'm aware you my friend, are a family guy! The regular season gets closer and closer every day D!
– Donnie
Wow. I haven't skied since I was seven, and I got two black eyes from falling and rolling down a mountain. UNCOOL. I think I'll stick with sleds, snowmen and hiking, because those are significantly cheaper or free.

Goliad County Sgt. John Pape said Torivio "Toby" Gutierrez Jr. and Louis Michael Flores were transferred Friday to the Live Oak County Jail. A third suspect, Endalesio "Andy" R. Pompa IV, was released on $100,000 bond and a $25,000 personal recognizance bond last week.
"This is such a high-profile case and a lot of high emotions, the jail felt it was safer to have them elsewhere for their own safety," Pape said.
Deidre Warrick, who was charged along with Gutierrez, Flores and Pompa with engaging in organized criminal activity, was released last week on $100,000 bond, according to Pape.

In January, the Friends of the Mill Valley Library will present film biographies of two American musicians whose rags to riches stories transformed their innate musical talent into worldwide acclaim.
Ray (2004)January 14th, Monday @ 7:30 p.m.
Jamie Foxx plays Ray Charles but it is Ray Charles who we hear singing in the film. Foxx had the opportunity to work with Charles before he died, so the film has Charles' blessing. Also starring are Kerry Washington as wife Della Robinson and Regina King as Margie Hendricks Ray's other major lover. Ray Charles Robinson went totally blind at the age of 7. Ray was sent to the Florida School for Deaf and Blind where he developed his musical talent and began to perform. With both parents dead, at 15 he went to Seattle (as far away from Florida as possible) where he performed and wrote songs. His big chance came when he signed with Atlantic Records. "I Got a Woman"--a mixture of gospel, blues and jazz--brought him national acclaim. His career was interrupted by numerous drug arrests and time in detox. Jamie Foxx won the Oscar for Best Actor. Ray also won the Oscar for Best Sound Mixing and was nominated for 4 other Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director (Taylor Hackford), Best Costumes and Best Editing..Doors open at 7:00. This series is sponsored by The Friends of the Mill Valley Library. For more Programs and Events at the Library, see the Library Events Calendar.

"I have been listening to you on EWTN for about one year now. I left the Catholic Church 42 years ago and have been attending Protestant churches. After many struggles during this last year, I finally went to confession on Sunday. Thank you all so much for helping me on my journey home."
"In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him as he then may hear by his deeds what he is to do [in the way of penance]."

When Gary Mass, supervisor of the Town of Cochecton, heard that there were about six residents of a seasonal community who registered to vote in Sullivan County, he said he was not really concerned. But when that number rose to 24, a figure that represents about 5% of the voting population, he decided he should take action.
Maas, in a phone interview, said that he challenged 24 voter registrations that listed the Lake Huntington Summer Community, which on its website sells itself as "a cooperative three-season community of 50 plus families." Maas said he also challenged the registrations of about five others who stay in seasonal homes.
Maas filed a challenge on each individual voter with the Sullivan County Board of Elections (BOE), which will in turn send a questionnaire to the challenged voters and examine any evidence Maas presents before making a determination on the validity of the registrations.
If the BOE follows the ruling it issued in 2009, there is a chance the two election commissioners will determine that the registrations are not valid. In 2009, the BOE commissioners determined that about 150 summer residents, who registered in the Town of Bethel, were not eligible, at least in part because the local addresses they listed as homes were bungalows, or buildings that were not heated and had no wintertime plumbing, and therefore could not be lived in during the winter months.
But the difference with the Lake Huntington voters is that the latter own the co-ops in the community and therefore return to the same one each year, and use the co-ops in the same way that the owner of a winterized second home would use that home.
Another difference between the two cases is that the bungalows in Bethel must receive a temporary residency permit from the New York State Department of Health. The owners of the Huntington Lake co-ops, being members of a homeowners association, do not need to obtain such permits.
In 2008, an appellate court ruled that several second-home owners were entitled to register to vote at their homes in Bovina, even though they spent more time at their homes in New York City.
Their lawyer, Bruce Kraus, said at the time, "These voters care deeply about Bovina, and knew in their hearts they had the right to vote there, even when election officials disagreed. Despite official threats of criminal prosecution for trying to exercise their right to vote, they persevered."
It's not clear if the Lake Huntington voters will be judged to fall into that category, but Bruce Ferguson, the driving force behind the vote-where-it-counts effort in western Sullivan County, which this year has attracted a significant number of second-home owners, said he believes the registrants would qualify to be local voters.
That decision, at least initially, is up to the BOE commissioners. There are two such commissioners representing both major political parties. Commissioner Ann Prusinski was elected by the county Democratic Party, and commissioner Rodney Gaebel was elected by the county Republican Party.
When a voter's registration is challenged, if one commissioner supports the challenge and the other commissioner does not, the challenge does not stand, and the challenger has the option to appeal the decision in court.
If both commissioners support the challenge, it is upheld, and the registered voter has the option of appeal.
Members of Lake Huntington Summer Community could not be reached for comment.
