HEART OF THE VALLEY KING SIZE SHEPHERDS Diana Hartvig what she thought she was getting was a puppy NOT abusive emails and scammed!! Oroville Washington
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Hello, I am writing this to warn everyone about a horrible experience I had with a breeder in Washington state!! I thought I was getting a puppy from a woman named Diana Hartvig of Oroville, WA. But instead I got abusive emails and completely ripped off!
Upon first contacting Mrs. Hartvig I was told that I would be putting a deposit down in the amount of $400.00 for the purchase of a female pick from her dog that was set to have puppies in 6-8 months. After several attempts to contact her and 9 months later I emailed her asking for my deposit back. I felt as though I had given her suficient amount of time to produce a puppy to which she could not perform.
I was told that I will not receive my $400.00 back either. No explanation of why I wasn't able to receive my money back, simply she wanted to "see what I could do" and informed me that, "I would love to see what legal acts you can demand LOL". Plain and simple, I just wanted my deposit back because I did not receive a puppy! I thought that was pretty simple, however in this case I was sadly mistaken.
I want to warn everyone out there about this scam artist and fraud! She will take your deposit and produce no puppy. Here i sit, 9 months later, with no refund, no puppy and apparently have been black listed throughout the king shepherd breeders list. I can't believe someone could take money in such a happy time in someone else's life. She plays on peoples emotions and takes their money in the middle of the night like a theif! She should not be allowed to do business in Washington state and continue to scam anyone else out there!

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 02, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, April 02, 2014
While we are not a company but just breeders of great dogs with a kennel name, I would like to point out that the person filing this complaint has never even seen our dogs in person. She has not received any of our pups and due to her slanderous remarks and threats, she never will. She put a non-refundable deposit down on a female puppy. The b***h whos littter this pup was to come from has not yet even come into heat. But she then sends an email saying she is going to take legal action to get her deposit back because she did not receive updates. Well there were no updates so far, as you can not breed a b***h when they are not in heat. There are many others waiting for pups but she put her deposit in early to have first choice female. I have already forwarded her threats to several other breeders across the country so they may aviod this same situation.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Good morning from The Oval. It is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, which drives President Obama's schedule today.
This morning, the president and first lady Michelle Obama will participate in a community service event. Later, Obama welcomes a group of senior citizens and their grandchildren to the White House to discuss King's legacy.
Tonight, the Obamas attend a Let Freedom Ring concert at the Kennedy Center.
Obama and aides figure to work on other things behind the scenes, particularly the relief effort in Haiti. Frustration is growing in that ravaged nation, according to Marisol Bello and Donna Leinwand of USA TODAY.
The White House is paying attention to health care negotiations and the special Senate race in Massachusetts -- two events that are related.
Obama campaigned in Boston yesterday for embattled Democratic candidate Martha Coakley, whose vote in the Senate would ease the path for health care legislation.
Also in the news.
Wednesday is the one-year anniversary of Obama's presidency. Oval colleague Mimi Hall looks back at the president's inaugural address.
People are thinking about the U.S. role in Haiti after the television cameras leave.
The capital of Afghanistan is under attack.
And pro football is down to its final four. On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings play the New Orleans Saints, and the New York Jets visit the Indianapolis Colts, for the right to play in the Feb. 7 Super Bowl. The Oval likes the Saints and the Colts.
The Oval will be here throughout the day to report on the president and other White House activities. Enjoy the holiday, but don't forget to click in.

Between Colonialism and Diaspora: Sikh Cultural Formations in an Imperial World
€ 23,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
August 2006
BeschreibungAnalyzes historical construction of Sikh identity in the context of colonial modernity and post-colonial diaspora, with an emphasis on competing narratives of religious and ethnic identity arising from cross-cultural interactions.
PortraitTony Ballantyne is Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Otago in New Zealand. He is the author of "Orientalism and Race: Aryanism in the British Empire" and a coeditor of "Bodies in Contact: Rethinking Colonial Encounters in World History," also published by Duke University Press.
Pressestimmen"Moving between the Punjab and Britain, Australia, and the United States, Between Colonialism and Diaspora tracks moments in the making of Sikh identities across imperial and postcolonial encounters, from military masculinities to bhangra, from the 1840s to the present. Tony Ballantyne is establishing himself as one of the most exciting voices amongst a new generation of historians."--Catherine Hall, author of Civilising Subjects: Metropole and Colony in the English Imagination, 1830-1867 "Between Colonialism and Diaspora is a major new work on Sikh history and culture. Tony Ballantyne has framed historical events and personalities within the broad context of transformations emerging from colonial rule. His treatment of Sikh memory and the past is provocative, and the final section on bhangra explores the broad implications of how a distinctly Punjabi cultural tradition has changed and in turn influenced international dance and music."--N. Gerald Barrier, coeditor of Sikhism and History

There was outrage - but only from a minority of MPs - at reports that the new Standards Commissioner, who takes over next year, will be barred by contract from talking to the media. Mr Martin was also locked in continuing battle with the outgoing Commissioner, Elizabeth Filkin.
The Speaker last night decreed that Mrs Filkin had failed to substantiate claims of a "whispering campaign" against her involving named civil servants and ministers.
Mr Martin had demanded a letter from Mrs Filkin to substantiate her charges. Last night, after receiving the letter, he declared: "No Members or civil servants are named in the letter. Mr Speaker has therefore written again to Mrs Filkin, once more asking her to substantiate these allegations."Reuse content

A Guide to Women's Shoe Care & Cleaning
It's important that once you've invested in a pair of women's shoes you look after them properly, this will prolong
the life of your shoes and ultimately save you money.
Small tricks can make the world of difference to the life of your shoes, from looking after them when you first get them, to how you store them can all add a good amount of time to how long your shoes willl ast you.
Canvas is a fabric, which in some respects makes cleaning canvas shoes easier than cleaning leather or suede.
There are a number of different way to go about cleaning your canvas shoes and they all use things that you'll
probably have around your house.
You may be able to machine wash them, check the label before putting them in the washing machine though. If you do wash
them in your washing machine, add a few towels to the wash. This will reduce noisy banging whilst they spin.
To clean dirt marks off them without running them through the wash, it's possible to use baking soda, washing up
liquid or washing powder.
Washing Up Liquid
You can use washing up liquid by putting a blob of washing up liquid into a small amount of warm water and mixing until
the water is foamy. Use a toothbrush in circular motion to scrub any stains of the canvas and leave to air dry.
Most trainers can be run through the washing machine, but again, check the label of your shoes just to make sure.
If they can't be washed in the machine, follow the steps above with washing powder or washing up liquid.
If your shoes get wet, it can be difficult to know what to do for the best.
It's important to dry your shoes properly to make sure you don't cause any damage or end up with misshapen
The best option is to let your shoes dry naturally, but if you want to speed up the process, stuff them with
tissue or newspaper to absorb the moisture. If you're using newspaper,
try to avoid sheets with lots of dark ink or pictures, this will help avoid the ink bleeding on to your shoes.
Check on them in an hour, and if necessary, remove the paper and replace it with fresh, dry pieces. Repeat this
process until your shoes have dried off.
It's important to keep them in a dry area, especially if they're made of suede or leather. If you have
space, keep them in the boxes or in dust bags as dust can accumulate and leave grey marks - especially on suede.
It's also very important to make sure that your shoes are clean before you put them away for storage -
the longer you leave dirt the harder it is to get out.
It's a good idea to store your shoes by type and season - it will save time if your summer shoes are at
the front of your storage space when it's summer, the same for Winter, Spring and Autumn.
The best place to store your shoes is somewhere cool and dry - make sure they won't get too hot during the
summer or freezing cold during the Winter. The fluctuations in temperature will make the fibres of leather and
suede break down, and it's not ideal for any trimmings that may be made of plastic either.
When you've found a place to keep your shoes and you've made sure they are clean, there are things you can do
to make them even more protected whilst they aren't being worn.
Make sure you stuff the toe end of your shoes with balled paper - ensure its acid free as well, just to be on the safe
side. Avoid using newspaper as it could colour stain your shoes. Cut up toilet rolls also work well!! Avoid storing suede
or leather in plastic, airtight bags… the material needs to breathe or it will become mouldy.
Before you throw away on pair of tired shoes, there are many repairs and fixes you might want to consider.
You can re-heel stilettoes when they get to that inevitable stage of the caps falling off, and you can re-
sole a good quality pair of shoes. If the inner sole of your shoes has slipped due to heavy wear, these can be
replaced, as can laces and zips.
You'll find shops and chains that can mend all types of shoes and boots on every high street and it might not cost as
much as much as you think to get things repaired or replaced.
Re-heeling stilettos can cost as little as around £7-8 from well-known high street brands, this can
give new life to a pair of shoes you love, so it-s well worth taking the time to drop them off with a cobbler.
You can even have a go at trying to re-heel your own stilettos, which will cost you just the heel tip. These can be
picked up online for less than £2.

Maybe you remember United Airlines dropping its pre-boarding policy for families four years ago. Families weren't happy. It took a while but United ultimately got the message.
LISTEN: Travel pro Rick Seaney has flown with little ones many times.
Early Boarding for Families Returns
As the Associated Press reports, the return of early boarding for families doesn't mean for every family.
- New policy won't go into effect until Feb. 15
- Only families with children aged two and under can board early
- These families are allowed to board ahead of first class, elite members
Other Airline Early Boarding Policies
Most U.S. airlines allow some form of pre-boarding for families but many don't let them board until after first and business class. Plus, the cut-off ages of kids varies; Southwest seems to have the most generous policy, allowing early boarding for families with children aged six and under – but those families can't board after Southwest's "A" group boards.
When in doubt, ask the gate agent.

Swirls - labyrinthrider
With one final clink of her pickaxe the hidden tomb of a long-gone pharaoh was opened.
"You've been waiting for this your entire life," she whispered to herself before stepping into the chamber. "All of the unknown secrets of the past are in there waiting for you."
Motioning for her crew to stay behind she took the first step and gasped.
Covering the walls, the pottery, and even the ancient sarcophagus were swirls of all shapes and sizes. Swirls. No incantations, no artwork of any other kind except the lovely swirls.
Slowly she sank to her knees in disappointment. "…but…what could they mean?"

The changes that the Texas legislature made to the Children's Health Insurance Program, or CHIP, during the last legislative session has seen enrollment increase substantially since September. Houston Public Radio's Rod Rice reports.
Barbara Best, the Executive Director of the Children's Defense Fund of Texas says enrollment has increased by 52,000 statewide and by 9,600 in Harris County, but she says while that is very good news, there is still a lot to do in Texas.
"We still have the highest rate of uninsured children anywhere in the United States with one in every five lacking coverage. That's one-point-five-million uninsured children in Texas. 850,000 of them are eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program and Children's Medicaid."
Best says all uninsured Texas children can and should have health insurance. The Children's Defense Fund is working toward that goal with two aggressive enrollment programs. The first is with HISD which has for the first time included questions about health insurance on all enrollment form. This is HISD's Evelyn Henry.
"On the form there's a question, 'does your child have health insurance, does your child have the Gold Card, does your child have CHIP, does your child have Medicaid, do you have private insurance or none?' We take that data and enter it into our computer system and that way we can identify and know those children with no health insurance."
The effort to reach all of those HISD students without health insurance has been funded by three Houston hospitals, St Luke's, Texas Children's and Memorial Hermann.
The second enrollment effort will take place on Saturday, February 23. Winell Herron with HEB says 21 area HEB stores will take part.
"We'll be conducting a one day enrollment drive from 10 in the morning until 3 in the afternoon. We'll have volunteers on hand and parents and guardians can come, bring their information and get their children enrolled with great health care coverage."
The information needed for enrollment is the child's birth certificate, proof of household income, such as a recent pay stub and proof of residency such as a child's social security number. Herron says the goal is largest CHIP enrollment in a single day.
The Children's Defense Fund's Barbara Best says the cost of insuring all Texas children is much less than the cost of providing health care at emergency rooms.
"Went to the Harris County Hospital District and asked them how much it costs to treat an asthma attack. It costs a $100 to treat an asthma attack in a doctor's office. If the child is untreated and there is a serious attack they have to be hospitalized for three days, which is the average length of stay, its $7,300. One hundred dollars for the preventive visit versus $7,300 for the hospitalization, we do the math and know that preventive care is the much wiser investment."
CHIP costs the state $40 a month per child. With federal matching funds, U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison says CHIP enrollment is "…a matter of simple fiscal conservatism."

Fluctuation limit of branching processes with immigration and estimation of the means
M. Ispány, G. Pap, and M. C. A. van Zuijlen
We investigate a sequence of Galton-Watson branching processes with immigration, where the offspring mean tends to its critical value 1 and the offspring variance tends to 0. It is shown that the fluctuation limit is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck-type process. As a consequence, in contrast to the case in which the offspring variance tends to a positive limit, it transpires that the conditional least-squares estimator of the offspring mean is asymptotically normal. The norming factor is n3/2, in contrast to both the subcritical case, in which it is n1/2, and the nearly critical case with positive limiting offspring variance, in which it is n.

David Reviews
The morning after the May 2017 CraftWorks show, 76 director Alan Friel and Just So's Matt Diegan joined DAVID to pick through the bones.
Partizan have signed up-and-coming director Olly Jennings to their UK roster.
American filmmaker and commercial director Dax Martinez-Vargas crosses the Atlantic to join Dirty Films.
Film production company Familia have persuaded Toby Walsham to join their ambitious operation.
Having escaped their milky prison, Royal Blood find themselves on more familiar ground in this performance-driven promo for Hook, Line, and Sinker. Strobe lights and crunching riffs abound as the Brighton two-piece mark their homecoming in a sweatbox.
What the video lacks in finesse, it compensates for in bullish intensity. Shaky cam footage places the viewer in the crowd jostling for position, while director Ben Lowe captures some nifty shots of the band in full flow. Should get fans revved for the duos upcoming tour.
I bet the person who 'really' voted poor won't own up...

Self-stimulating, ritualistic behavior. 10/3/2015 4 Behavior Human Behavior Behavior is LEARNED Behavior is a function of the environment Therefore… New behaviors can be taught Old behaviors can be unlearned We change behavior by changing the ENVIRONMENT 10/3/2015 5 ABA APPLIED Refers to the social significance of the behavior (of immediate importance to the individual or society) BEHAVIOR Behavior is in need of improvement Behavior must be observable and measurable ANALYSIS Believability Demonstrates a functional relationship between behavior and intervention 10/3/2015 controls the occurrence and nonoccurrence of a behavior 6 Three-term Contingency ANTECEDENTS What happened immediately preceding the behavior 10/3/2015 BEHAVIOR CONSEQUENCES What happened immediately after the behavior 7 ABC Data Antecedent Events or interactions that happen before the behavior occurs: immediate or delayed/internal or external Behavior The behavior or sequence of behavior which occurred Consequence Events/interactions which happen after the behavior: what one gets and what one avoids 10/3/2015 8 Functional Behavioral Assessment: The ABC'S Antecedent Behavior Consequence Immediate/Delayed Medical Physiological Environmental Interactional Personal/Control What a person says or does Social Attention Tangible Activity Escape Avoidance Combinations 10/3/2015 9 Sample ABA Sheets 10/3/2015 10 10/3/2015 11 10/3/2015 12 Behavior Contract The behavior contract is a simple positive- reinforcement intervention that is widely used by teachers to change student behavior. The behavior contract spells out in detail the expectations of student and teacher (and sometimes parents) in carrying out the intervention plan, making it a useful planning document. 10/3/2015 14 Behavior Contract (continued) Because the student usually has input into the conditions that are established within the contract for earning rewards, the student is more likely to be motivated to abide by the terms of the behavior contract than if those terms had been imposed by someone else 10/3/2015 15 Steps in Implementing a Behavior Contract Staff decides which specific behaviors to select for the behavior contract. When possible, staff should define behavior targets for the contract in the form of positive, pro-academic or pro-social behaviors. 10/3/2015 16 Included in contract a listing of student behaviors that are to be reduced or increased. The student's behavioral goals should usually be stated in positive, goal-oriented terms. Also, behavioral definitions should be described in sufficient detail to prevent disagreement about student compliance. The teacher should also select target behaviors that are easy to observe and verify. For instance completion of class assignments is a behavioral goal that can be readily evaluated. If the teacher selects the goal that a child "will not steal pens from other students", though, this goal will be very difficult to observe and confirm. 10/3/2015 17 Included in Contract a statement or section that explains the minimum conditions under which the student will earn a point, sticker, or other token for showing appropriate behaviors. For example, a contract may state that "Johnny will add a point to his Good Behavior Chart each time he arrives at school on time and hands in his completed homework assignment to the teacher." 10/3/2015 18 Included in contract the conditions under which the student will be able to redeem collected stickers, points, or other tokens to redeem for specific rewards. A contract may state, for instance, that "When Johnny has earned 5 points on his Good Behavior Chart, he may select a friend, choose a game from the playmaterials shelf, and spend 10 minutes during free time at the end of the day playing the game." 10/3/2015 19 Included in contract bonus and penalty clauses (optional). Although not required, bonus and penalty clauses can provide extra incentives for the student to follow the contract. A bonus clause usually offers the student some type of additional 'pay-off' for consistently reaching behavioral targets. A penalty clause may prescribe a penalty for serious problem behaviors; e.g., the student disrupts the class or endanger the safety of self or of others. 10/3/2015 20 Included in contract areas for signature The behavior contract should include spaces for both teacher and student signatures, as a sign that both parties agree to adhere to their responsibilities in the contract. Additionally, the instructor may want to include signature blocks for other staff members 10/3/2015 21 Example Contracts 10/3/2015 22 10/3/2015 23 10/3/2015 24 CREATIVE CHILD CARE INTERVENTIONS "TOOLS FOR PARENTS AND CHILD CARE STAFF (based on STEP – Systematic Training for Effective Parenting, by Don Dinkmeyer) 10/3/2015 25 Behavior is a student's communication Behavior communicates special education needs and one (primarily) of the following: 10/3/2015 I am looking for attention I want to feel powerful I am angry and want revenge I feel deeply inadequate 26 Possible behavior where a student's needs are attention: If misbehaving, student looks for adult reaction (example "running away") Even with help ,and what appears to be useful help, the mistaken behavior persists Behavior persists even when adults deliver consequences, lectures, express disapproval Student may not differentiate between positive and negative attention Student may/may not want peer attention as well 10/3/2015 27 Possible behavior when a student's need is to feel powerful: Insist on one way in face of evidence of new learning being desirable Insist on one way in face of evidence that a different behavior is desirable Often argumentative, and not "hearing/seeing" adult input May act in ways indicating the student has a trauma history (startles easily, needs to not be approached from behind 10/3/2015 28 Possible behavior when student is angry and wants revenge: (This one is the most RARE, usually when we assume this is a student's primary motivation, we are wrong. The older the student, the more common, rare. Do not be confuses, many students are angry, but it is not the PRIMARY motivation for their behavior) May violate boundaries, tries to trip others, pretend hits, snatches items May hold grudges May plan opportunities for revenge o ranger outlet, will look for when staff aren't alert Believes staff and peers are angry, when they are not Likely to have been exposed to domestic violence 10/3/2015 29 Possible behavior for students who feel deeply inadequate: (This one is much more COMMON than we tend to realize) Express frustration at the beginning of a task May prefer to NOT be noticed, not receive one on one help May prefer to not work as part of a class group, or read aloud Avoids new work/academics 10/3/2015 30 Determining if child is primarily misbehaving to communicate: I am looking for attention I want to feel powerful I am angry and want revenge I feel deeply inadequate 10/3/2015 31 Creating Behavior Interventions and Interactions based on this Determination 10/3/2015 32 Looking for attention tools Planned ignoring Positive attention for any appropriate behavior, or absence of negative behavior Refusing to give negative attention Separate consequences and attention 10/3/2015 33 I want to feel powerful tools Cueing/signaling for "+" behavior Rehearsal of appropriate behavior Taking space by child; giving space by parents or child care staff When behavior is appropriate; give opportunity for leadership, or "king for the day" Give chores and activities to do which help the child to feel important Be quick to respond to appropriate requests, and make a point of responding to such requests 10/3/2015 34 I am angry and want revenge tools Matter of fact consequences/display of calm Remove potential "victim" when child begins to escalate Emphasis on consistency and clarity of behavior which is considered angry or vengeful Emphasize boundary concepts Discussions about anger and control when calm Identifying "what's in it for me" aspects of dropping revenge behaviors Consequences for negative behavior include doing something nice for the person harmed (doing their chores, giving them a favorite item) 10/3/2015 35 I feel deeply inadequate tools Creating incremental (one small step at a time) success experiences Frequent practice of skills which child is successful with, this doubles as a "flooding" behavior intervention for anxiety-filled experiences Asking child to create non-verbal signals for "overwhelm" that are understood by all Identify strengths and weaknesses together, with emphasis on strengths Establishing goals and "what is success" together, keep visual display of "goals reached" and "things learned" Determine if child wants to usually try new feared experiences alone, together, or different combinations 10/3/2015 36 Shaping of Problem Behavior Shifting topographies of behavior Accidental shaping/Accidental reinforcement How do we do this? Prompting Fading Reinforcement Extinction 10/3/2015 38 Shaping Example For example, John never does his math homework. You would like to have him complete his homework on a daily basis. You realize that if you wait for him to complete his homework before you reinforce him in some way, you may never (or infrequently) have the opportunity to administer a positive consequence. 10/3/2015 39 Shaping Example John will write his name at the top of the worksheet. John will complete one problem of his choice. John will complete five problems of his choice. John will complete either all the odd numbered problems or all the even numbered problems. John will complete all problems except one. John will complete all problems. 10/3/2015 40 Prompting Stimuli provided before or during a behavior to facilitate the performance of the behavior to access reinforcement 10/3/2015 41 Types of Prompting Response Prompts Modeling/Imitation Verbal Prompts Gestural Prompts Visual Prompts Physical Prompts 10/3/2015 Partial Full 42 Fading Gradual removal of prompts until the behaviors occurs in the presence without prompts 10/3/2015 43

The new 2010 model ProForm XP 690T treadmill offers a variety of programming, decent cushioning, a roomy tread belt, and a fold up design, but is the retail price too much of a turn off?
The ProForm XP 690T treadmill has a LCD Grafixx™ display showing speed, time, distance, pulse, and calories burned. Underneath the screen are individual control buttons so you can set your workout with just a single touch without having to scroll through levels of speed and incline.
The specs include:
UPDATE: The ProForm XP 690T has been discontinued. Check out the new ProForm lineup here to find a comparable machine:
Most Popular ProForm treadmills on Sale Now at the Online Store!
While the ProForm XP 690T isn't a serious treadmill for training, it does offer a walking user some nice features and programs to pass the time while getting in the daily indoor miles. The ProForm XP 690T treadmill comes with 10 pre-programmed performance workouts and 6 weight-loss workouts, as well as the option to use an iFit workout card (sold separately).
The 2.5 hp motor and weight capacity are solid enough for an average size person but treadmill pros don't find much about the design, quality, or engineering of this one to recommend it.
ProForm releases a new treadmill model every 5 minutes so it's difficult to keep them all straight. They take the same frame and components, change a color and the console design, and voila – they've produced a new treadmill. Since there aren't many reviews posted on the XP 690T yet, you can get a general idea of ProForm quality – which has been lacking in the budget models recently. ProForm treadmill reviews indicate issues with assembly and quality control of these Chinese made machines, and the Icon Fitness customer service reputation is even worse.
While most ProForms are made for the budget category falling between $400 to $1,000, about 20 percent of their machines are in the highly competitive $1,000-plus market. And that is the problem with the ProForm XP690t treadmill (MSRP $1,299).
There is almost no reason to buy this ProForm at this price when you can get a better treadmill with quality components and outstanding warranties from Sole, Smooth, Nordictrack, or the new line from Livestrong. Compared to other ProForms, you'll find a better deal with the ProForm Power Series (models 690, 990, and 995) which have better motors, cushioning, console displays, and sale prices.

Shippers, carriers and terminals swapped accusations in their filings with the Federal Maritime Commission that their positions on detention and demurrage charges are being mischaracterized.
Monitoring by the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission, however, shows individual ocean carriers within each vessel sharing alliance continue to "independently and vigorously compete on pricing," according to Acting FMC Chairman Michael Khouri.
Container throughput at Port of Virginia terminals has increased 7 percent so far in the fiscal year that will end on June 30, according to recent figures from the Virginia Port Authority.

With low poll approval ratings and the prospect of his congressional allies in Congress taking a drubbing in November, it's hardly surprising the liberal media are looking for any silver lining for Obama that it can find.
Enter Time magazine's Kate Pickert, who on the magazine's Swampland blog yesterday claimed that a ruling upholding ObamaCare's constitutionality yesterday was a "significant victory for the Obama administration."
A temporary boost, perhaps, but significant? The ruling was at the District Court level, and the public interest firm representing the plaintiffs plans to appeal to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Plus Pickert herself noted that there are plenty of other court challenges against ObamaCare, and they are not all bound to come down the same way District Court Judge George Steeh ruled yesterday.
What is significant is how Judge Steeh's reasoning profoundly obliterates the scope of the Constitution's interstate commerce clause to define refraining from commerce as commerce. It's an open question if appellate courts agree.
From the ruling (emphasis mine):
The health care market is unlike other markets. No one can guarantee his or her health, or ensure that he or she will never participate in the health care market. Indeed, the opposite is nearly always true. The question is how participants in the health care market pay for medical expenses - through insurance, or through an attempt to pay out of pocket with a backstop of uncompensated care funded by third parties.
The plaintiffs have not opted out of the health care services market because, as living, breathing beings, who do not oppose medical services on religious grounds, they cannot opt out of this market. As inseparable and integral members of the health care services market, plaintiffs have made a choice regarding the method of payment for the services they expect to receive. The government makes the apropos analogy of paying by credit card rather than by check. How participants in the health care services market pay for such services has a documented impact on interstate commerce. Obviously, this market reality forms the rational basis for Congressional action designed to reduce the number of uninsureds.
[P]laintiffs in this case are participants in the health care services market. They are not outside the market. While plaintiffs describe the Commerce Clause power as reaching economic activity, the government's characterization of the Commerce Clause reaching economic decisions is more accurate.
With that reasoning, Judge Steeh thoroughly unmoors the commerce clause from its concern with actual economic activity that Congress can regulate to a more amorphous realm of "economic decisions" which apparently include the decision to NOT enter into commerce at all.
That's the true significant aspect of yesterday's ruling, and it will prove interesting to see how the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals would handle Judge Steeh's reasoning and conclusions.
But a significant victory for Obama? It's far too early to tell, although it's understandable why Obama cheerleaders in the media would like to paint it that way.

Chapter 3
Aha, I spotted the tourist. Any other of her kind would have tinted green with envy at the sight of her, draped in money. She was dressed in a Chanel vest, with a cashmere shawl, Armani jeans, and Christian Louboutin shoes. Expensive taste. Of course, how was I supposed to know? To me, just another walking target. But one thing caught my experienced eye; the [Dolce and Gabbana] shoulder bag slung behind her? Big mistake. Slipping through the crowd as silent and unseen as a ghost, I followed her for a street or two before I made my move. Within moments I was crouching behind an urn about 2 foot away from my earlier leaning post, 50 dirham tucked in the homemade waist pouch tied onto my skinny frame. Not for me of course, I didn't need money to survive, but Ma tried to make an honest living, and needed money for the weekly market to buy food for the rest of the family.

The SaviorMature
"Hurry up, we're gonna miss the fight!" yelled a teenager, running.
"Don't worry, we won't miss a thing!" yelled another. In Hiroshima, there were many fights, well, underground at least. They were held at some caged in area near a construction site. These fights were only for guys, so girls could only watch. Fights were fist to fist, not some rigged phony matches that you see on TV. They always have someone who is certified in the medical department so no one dies. Today's match is against a six and a half foot man against the champion, a young teenage boy.
The young boy smashed a pipe against his opponents face, making him fall to his knees.
"Damn you . . . " said the man in agony. He got back on his feet, blood dripping from his upper right eyebrow, and ran at the young boy who was just standing there, hands in pockets. For some odd reason, he felt someone staring at him, he looked near the cage opening and saw two men staring at him. It was really strange because he had never seen them before now. Before he knew it, the man was already up close to him. He dodged his punch and hit a pressure point on the man's neck, making him stop in is foot steps and fall to the ground. Everyone around watched and waited to see if the man would get up, but when he didn't, they cheered and applauded the young boy. "Nice job kid," said the boys manager. "Here's your 12500 yen for tonight's winnings." The guy handed him the money and went alone with the rest of the crowd. Everybody left, either going to party and get drunk, or home. The boy looked around to see that the two men had already left. He stood there for a while, thinking, then decided to go home.
The young boy always walked home instead of taking the train. It was was way too crowded and hot. As he walked home, he counted his winnings only to find that his manager cheated him off a few thousand yen. He cursed to himself and put it back in his pocket. That was his food money for the month. He continued to walk around the corner and saw to guys arguing in suits. "The girl lives down this street," said the black haired fellow in a white suit. "No, she's not, you got lost. I bet it was because you wanted to take a detour to watch that stupid match," said the man with white hair and a black suit. The boy noticed that these were the people he saw staring at him. And for a slight moment, he had a sudden urge of deja vu. He shook off the feeling and continued walking past them. "Hey, that's the kid from the match. Maybe he knows. Do you know where we can find a girl named Kyūseishu Kairī?" asked the black haired man.
"What of her?" the boy stated, pulling his hat low, covering his face.
"It's very important that we find her. Please, do you know anything about her?" the white haired man said calmly. "My name is Shiro and my brother here is Kuro." The boy looked up in shock.
"Aren't those dog names?" the boy laughed, "Why do you need to find this girl so bad?" Kuro scowled.
"That's on a need to know bases. Are you going to help us or not?" stated Kuro, impatiently. The boy stepped back, then took off. "Oh great, our only lead and he runs away."
"Then lets go after him, we need to find her or else," yelled Shiro, running after the boy.
"Why run when you can just appear," whispered Kuro. The boy was running so fast that he could barely see Shiro behind him. He smirked then ran into something hard. He rubbed his head and looked up to find Kuro right in front of him. How did he get there so fast. "Stop playing around kid and tell us what you know," he said angrily, as he picked up the boy by his jacket. Kuro paused for a moment. He felt this sudden spark, but he didn't know why. Shiro finally showed up a moments later.
"Don't hurt the poor boy," he said, almost out of breathe.
"This isn't a boy," Kuro stated. "Shit," the boy whispered. He hit the pressure point on Kuro's neck, but got no reaction. He tried hitting other areas and still got no reaction. "What the hell are you?" said the boy.
"I could ask the same thing," Kuro said. He pushed the boy up against the wall and unzipped his jacket. "This boy is a girl." Shiro looked in shock, the boy was clearly a girl because she had curves.
"Let me go you ass," yelled the girl. She thought a moment, then kicked Kuro in his sack. He let go and fell to the ground, grabbing his genitals, moaning in pain. The girl made a run for it but got caught by Shiro, keeping a good distance. She felt a certain aura when Shiro grabbed her, and finally gave in. "You bitch!" groaned Kuro.
"Just tell us where Kyūseishu Kairī is and we'll let you go," said Shiro politley. She looked at both of them and then answered sadly.
"You cant tell anyone that I'm a girl, and by anyone, I mean the streetfighters."
"Yeah Yeah, just tell us already," said Kuro, getting up from the ground. The girl looked down at the ground.
"I'm Kyūseishu Kairī." Shiro quickly let go, looked at Kuro, and they both bowed to her. Kairī stared at them like they were crazy. " I'm going home now, it's a long walk home and yer both freaking me out."
"We will come with you, for we are your guardians," Shiro replied. "We will protect you from now on. It has taken us many years for us to find you." Kairī gave them the same look.
" . . . what the hell?"
"Just shut up and let us take you home. We will explain to you more in depth there. Shiro walked up close to Kairī and looked down at her, "Can I get your address for Kyoto?"
" I live here in Hiroshima," stated Kairī, embarrassed.
"I thought you lived in Kyoto?" asked Kuro, confused.
"No, I go to school there, but i live here." Kuro and Shiro looked at each other, then back at Kairī. They asked for an exact address, she gave them.
"Hang on and shut your eyes," commanded Shiro, picking up Kairī. She gasped and shut her eyes. She heard Kuro chant something, then, her heart jumped. She opened her eyes and saw that they were outside her apartment. "Here we are," Shiro said, putting down Kairī. "Well, I think you need to sleep to soak all this in. Are your parents home?" Kairī looked down.
"My parents don't live here." She took out her keys and went inside the apartment. Kuro walked by Shiro, "Nice one bro," then continued going inside. Shiro stood there for a while, then walked in as well. As they walked in, Kairī had already set out some futons. "You guys are gonna sleep here right? Then yer going to tell me everything tomorrow."
"Of course Kyūseishu Kairī," said Shiro, getting into his futon.
"Sure, anything for you," Kuro said sarcastically, batting his eyes and holding his hands together. Next thing you know, he got a pillow thrown at him so hard that he fell backwards.
"Oops, soory 'bout that. You guys can just call me Kairī." She walked into her room, shut her door, and went to bed. Karī knew that her live was going to take a 180 turn to hell.
