Sweet Water equipment sale OK'd; proceeds to pay down bad city loan
The City of Milwaukee will hire a local auction firm to sell equipment formerly used by the now-insolvent Sweet Water Organics Inc., with the proceeds to help reduce the city's loss from a defaulted loan to the company.
The Common Council's Community and Economic Development Committee on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution allowing the Department of City Development to contract with Betthausers' Auction Service Inc. to hold an auction to sell the collateral.
The department also was authorized to sell the equipment through an online auction operated by Wisconsin Surplus Online Auction.
Auction dates haven't yet been set. The equipment includes a tractor, a compost mixer and a partly completed aquaponics growing system for vegetables and fish.
The council in 2011 approved the loan over the department's objections.
Sweet Water spent $206,699 from the $250,000 loan, with the remaining funds returned to the city. The company owes the city $137,205.
To avoid making annual loan payments, Sweet Water was required to have 10 employees by the end of 2011; 21 by the end of 2012, 35 in 2013; and 45 in 2014. Sweet Water met its 2011 job target, allowing the company to skip its first $62,500 loan payment.
A Journal Sentinel article in April 2012 raised questions about how that target was met.
Workforce numbers were boosted by including Sweet Water's two founders, who hadn't drawn salaries until job numbers were certified by the city. Also, wages paid by Sweet Water were far below what the company had projected.
At the end of 2012, Sweet Water had only 2.35 jobs - allowing it to skip just $6,994 of this year's loan payment.
Sweet Water operated at a former Bay View factory at 2151 S. Robinson Ave., where it raised fish and grew produce for area restaurants.

Comments about Cardone Engine Control Computer - Chrysler/AMC:
I thought of first hitting a local salvage yard, and buying a used computer for my 97 Cherokee. After speaking with several junk yards, and finding out how particular this part is to this certain year of Jeep, I decided to buy new. I'm GLAD I did. This new computer was a deal for sure, with free shipping, and fast shipping too, it was just an all around great deal. And, no programing needed either, just plug in and go! I'll definitely be buying more new parts, and thanks to Advance Auto Parts! I returned the core, and they instantly debited my money back on my bank card! Very, very good customer service! I'd give them a AAA+++

Through 'live well', centra removes 125M CALORIES from SHOPPER'S BASKETS AS CUSTOMERS SWITCH from sugary DRINKS TO HEALTHier ALTERNATIVES
#LiveWell @CentraIRL
26th July 2016: Ireland may be on track to becoming Europe's fattest nation by 2030, according to the World Health Organisation; but today Centra have revealed research, conducted by RED C, that shows a shift in shopper behaviour towards healthier options. Centra's findings show that two thirds of Irish adults admit to making more of an effort to live healthy compared to 12 months ago. 4 out of 5 people feel they are more conscious about their food intake compared to a year ago, with two thirds of the nation now admitting to consciously checking the ingredients in what they consume.
Anticipating shoppers' needs, Centra have decreased shelf space for sugary drinks over the past 12 months and promoted healthier alternatives instead, helping to reduce the calorie intake of their customers by 125 million calories. This is the equivalent of 7.8 million spoons of sugar taken out of shoppers baskets in the past year. This achievement forms part of Centra's Live Well programme, which launched 12 months ago, and encourages customers to make healthy choices and promotes healthy living. Showing consumers growing appetite to seek out healthy alternatives, Centra has seen sales of €17 million in Live Well products since launching a year ago.
Centra's research, undertaken by RED C, reveals a genuine attitude shift with 85% of Irish adults saying they are more conscious about the products they consume, by monitoring more closely their fruit, veg, water and sugar intake compared to 12 months ago. This shift in mind-set has been witnessed in shopping trends in Centra stores. Sales of nutritional bars - such as Bounce protein balls, Fulfil and Naked - have seen 50% growth in the last year. Since the launch of Live Well, sales of salads are growing 58% faster than hot deli food such as breaded chicken, sausages and bacon. Salads are also growing two thirds faster than the traditional sandwich option at the cold deli.
Accordingly to Centra's research, Irish adults are claiming to drink a higher amount of water than this time a year ago, with younger people drinking more water than other demographic. Centra's customers are staying hydrated with sales of water growing 20% ahead of sugary alternatives since the launch of Live Well a year ago.
More than just healthier alternatives in-store, Live Well encourages people to get active. Over 11,500 children got active at Centra's hurling events and Centra got over 200,000 people walking last year through their pink walks in aid of the Irish Cancer Society's Action Breast Cancer programme. Finally, Live Well aims to educate and inspire shoppers. The Live Well hub on www.centra.ie includes dedicated Live Well videos that have achieved 1.6 million views over the past 12 months, providing nutritional advice, recipe ideas and exercise tips.
Sarah Keogh, Consultant Dietician with Eatwell.ie and a member of the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute, said, "When we started this Live Well journey with Centra a year ago we found that many Centra shoppers were confused about healthy eating or thought that it is simply too difficult and expensive with many doing the all-or-nothing approach. Centra is not a health food store but with over 460 stores in communities nationwide it has actively taken steps to make healthy eating easier and more convenient for people. We will continue to build on the success of our Live Well initiative and work towards a more health-aware Ireland."
Speaking at today's launch, Centra Ambassador Pippa O'Connor said, "This shift in shopper attitude towards healthy choices definitely applies to me. In the last year, I've become more conscious about what I put into the shopping basket and my family have really seen the benefits. Initiatives like Live Well make it easy to make those healthy choices especially when I'm short on time so I like to grab-and-go but always want to eat well."

Pacific put the finishing touches on an outright, unbeaten Four Rivers Conference boys basketball championship with a win Friday at St. Clair High School.
The Indians (19-4, 7-0) secured the league crown with a 41-33 victory over the Bulldogs.
"Going undefeated in the conference is a good accomplishment," said Pacific Head Coach John VanLeer. "There are a lot of good players and coaches in the conference, so to be 7-0 is something to be proud about. I'm happy for our kids."
St. Clair (6-16, 3-4) suffered their 10th single-digit loss of the season.
"Pacific plays really good defense, maybe the best I've seen all year," said St. Clair Head Coach Casey Korn. "We tried to do too much at times, which hurt us. A lot of that was because of the way they played defense."
The Indians jumped to a 13-4 lead after one quarter.
For the next three quarters, St. Clair held a 29-28 edge.
"I'm proud of our guys for sticking in there until the end against a good team," Korn said.
"Defensively, we played pretty well," VanLeer said. "We never got into a flow offensively."
Cullen VanLeer paced Pacific with 14 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. He was injured in the third quarter, but returned to the game.
"Cullen turned his ankle and missed about four minutes of the third quarter," VanLeer said Monday. "It's not too serious. He'll practice today."
Noah Boyer finished the game with nine points, four rebounds and three assists.
Tanner Brown added seven points, three rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Jeffrey Hinkle collected four points, three rebounds and two steals.
Chris Klenke had three points, five rebounds and two assists.
Stephen Johnson and Jacob Klenke both had two points.
"We were 6-6 from the free-throw line in the fourth quarter. Tanner, Jacob and Noah each hit two of them," VanLeer said. "We persevered and found a way to win."
Darrell Martin and Kevin Cox both scored eight points for St. Clair. Martin also had four rebounds. Cox grabbed two rebounds and kept the Bulldogs close with a pair of three-pointers in the fourth quarter.
"Darrell did a nice job early of keeping us in it offensively," Korn said. "Kevin has been working on his shot all year. I've been wanting him to shoot it more with confidence. He did and knocked some down."
Reno Jones added six points, four assists and three rebounds. Damon Arnold collected five points and two steals. Ben Feddersen scored four points. Kyler Waldo had two points.
Playing at home Tuesday, Feb. 18, Pacific defeated Hermann, 67-45.
"We started five seniors on senior night. Our starters did a nice job," VanLeer said. "Chris Klenke hit two three-pointers to start out, which helped give us the lead."
Cullen VanLeer came off the bench to lead Pacific with 27 points, seven rebounds and five assists.
Chris Klenke finished the game with 10 points. Boyer and Brown both had eight points.
Johnson collected five points and four rebounds. Jacob Klenke netted four points. Hinkle and Tristan Moore both scored two points.
Logan Armstrong finished with one point, five rebounds and two assists.
Hermann (9-16, 3-4) was led by Craig Winkelmann, who scored 26 points.

Nvidia's first DirectX 10.1 card pictured
Up to now Nvidia kept a tight lip about the new Geforce graphics cards which are based on TSMC's 40 nm architecture - although those cards are DirectX 10.1 compatible. We were told that "those are OEM versions". PC Games Hardware nevertheless organized a Geforce G210 which now arrived at our office.
The Geforce G210, which was taken from a complete PC system ad offered on ebay, is an entry-level device based on the smallest of the new GT21x chips, the GT218.
According to the Nvidia website it offers the following features - Nvidia did not reveal more detailed information.
• 16 Shader ALUs
• GPU frequency 589 MHz (core) / 1,402 (Shader)
• GPU performance: 4,172 GTex/sec. 44.8 GFLOPS/sec. (MADD)
• VRAM: 500 MHz, DDR2, 64 Bit
• VRAM performance: 8.0 GByte/sec.
• Shader Model 4.1, DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.0
• Max. power consumption (card): 30.5 watt
Until we have finished our benchmarks and can deliver a full review, you can pass the time with the pictures in our gallery. The CPU-Z screenshots have been made with a special version of the tool from Techpowerup.com which delivers improved recognition for the GT218. At this point we would like to thank the author of GPU-Z, w1zzard for his support.

You are herecontent / Ask Conyers to Allow Kucinich to Present Impeachment Articles to House Judiciary Committee
Ask Conyers to Allow Kucinich to Present Impeachment Articles to House Judiciary Committee
On Thursday Congressman Dennis Kucinich, who had already introduced 3 articles of impeachment against Cheney and 35 against Bush introduced a single article of impeachment against Bush charging him with misleading Congress into a war on Iraq. Also on Thursday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the media that she expected the Judiciary Committee to consider the matter. And Kucinich held a press conference at which he said that what he wants is an opportunity to present his proposals to the Judiciary Committee.
Let's make sure that Committee Chairman John Conyers grants this request. Phone him now at 202-225-3951. Post here what he tells you.
If you're able to speak with Conyers or his staff at any length, please remind them that Bush and Cheney and members of their administration are refusing to comply with numerous subpoenas and even contempt citations, as well as refusing to answer questions by claiming "executive privilege." During an impeachment hearing, there is no executive privilege. The Judiciary Committee should hold an impeachment hearing of Bush and Cheney on refusal to comply with oversight. It's the fastest way to justice and the only chance of establishing any oversight.
- Login to post comments
- Email this page
- Printer-friendly version
"One thing is clear, however — there will be no move to remove Bush from office, despite Pelosi's comments this morning, or Kucinich's resolution."
This administration and its likes infiltrating the Republican Party is destroying the country, wreaking havoc upon the rest of the world and corrupting the GOP. Too many good people are leaving the Republican Party to become Independent. Unfortunately, you loose effectiveness as an Independent because they are not really organized. And impeachment needs to be a non-partisan issue to succeed. We need Republicans backing impeachment, yes they're out there and they are plentiful (they feel betrayed by lack of fiscal responsibility, small government, state's rights, non-international intervention, family and moral values - Bush & co. have betrayed all!)- we just need them to come forth instead of dropping out in disgust. I run Republicans for Impeachment.com The site received over 4,000 hits the very next day! We include ex-Republicans. Visit republicansforimpeachment.com and sign the petition. Call Republican reps to come for impeachment. I believe they are ready - they are disgusted with Bush & Co, too. Once they do, it's a done deal!
Under this Administration we are less safe, less free. To best protect America, we should be an example of democracy and a free society to the rest of the world. Support Impeachment, the ultimate democratic tool.
- Susan, Northeast Impeachment Coalition
...and it is OK for you to evolve if you discover that you are being deceived!
I agree with your comment about the need for republicans to contact and lobby their representatives for accountability, too. And, I wish they would. But, as a Democrat and having written hundreds of letters and phone calls I inevitably became completely disgusted with the Democratic Party. I have Feinstein and Pelosi as representatives. Finally, I left to join the Greens.
I agree with your comment about the Independent Party being too vague and disorganized. But, what about the Green Party? They have many well defined platforms and are gaining ground in many city governments. Their most important/progressive platform would be instant run off voting. We will never have instant run off voting if we wait for the Republicans and Democrats to adopt it.
Our founders were against the party system. Instant run off voting would put an end to the two party stranglehold that the predators have on us. -Always voting for the lessor of two evils.... how insane.
Join the Greens, then vote strategically. But, do not endorse that which you oppose!! I don't mean to come off all preachy... I'm searching, too.
But, If these two political parties begin seeing their base leave in disgust, perhaps then, they will change their trajectory.

I followed your advice and asked for him to allow Congressman Kucinich to present the case in front of the full committee!
She said the normal thing: I'll give him the message.
You have done an immense service to the nation with your long, strong dedication to the causes of impeaching Bush and Cheney. I honor you, and respect you, for the monumental service you've been providing to this embattled Democracy.
But to judge from recent interviews you've conducted, and to judge from the recommendations you make in this article, you appear to suffer from a superiority complex that makes you condescend to such people of quality as Vincent Bugliosi, John Dean, and John Conyers.
Mr. Conyers has served in the House for approximately your entire lifetime. He knows a thing or two about how to conduct himself, and how to chair the Judiciary Committee, and HE DOES NOT NEED INSTRUCTION FROM YOU, OR ME, IN HOW TO DO HIS WORK.
Please try to trust in the possibility that Conyers and Kucinich and their colleagues have been working quietly, steadily, stealthily behind the scenes to set the stage for the drama that is about to unfold.
Please ENCOURAGE Mr. Conyers and his colleagues -- without presuming to INSTRUCT them.
Thank you again for your admirable service to us all, and to our nation. And thank you for allowing me to express this constructive criticism.

i also know some of what you think i'm guessing
trust me :-)
Do you actually contend that Conyers is unaware that members of the executive branch have been refusing to comply with subpoenas, and too stupid to realize that this represents a threat to the Constitutional system of checks and balances under which Congress is supposed to exercise oversight over the exeutive branch?
Here's some possible enlightenment for you:
Posted 7-10-08 in The Huffington Post
By John Conyers
Today was the deadline for a Judiciary Committee subpoena issued to Karl Rove, demanding his appearance before the Committee to testify on his role in the politicization of the Department of Justice and the politically selective prosecutions of Democrats. Unfortunately, Mr. Rove chose not to show up.
The claim that Mr. Rove and the White House make is that high-level aides to the president are totally immune from compelled congressional testimony. Not that there are certain subjects they cannot discuss in a public hearing, nor that the White House has a right to review questions that are asked, but that they are in a class entirely by themselves -- a separate group that is above the reach of a subpoena and, consequently, above the law.
Over the past 18 months, congressional inquiries have uncovered a level of politicization that runs the breadth of the administration and profoundly threatens one of the core elements of our democracy -- equal justice under law. We have seen it in the firing of nine U.S. Attorneys for partisan political purposes, in the hiring practices at the Justice Department, and apparently in the politically selective prosecution of Democrats like Alabama Governor Don Siegelman. Thorough investigation of these abuses of power requires that Congress get answers from the Executive Branch. By ignoring the Judiciary Committee subpoena, Karl Rove and the White House once again showed their utter disregard for our system of checks and balances, for Congress as a co-equal branch of government, and ultimately for the American people.
The question that now confronts the Judiciary Committee and, ultimately, the full House of Representatives, is what action to take in the face of such blatant defiance of the rule of law. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I am considering all options. Regardless of the path we take, the end result must be the same: the full restoration of our Constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no one -- not Karl Rove and not the president -- is above the law.
the point is to tell him what we are aware of and what we insist on and what we want and to push him to seriously consider taking this particular action
is that Conyers is not the sort of man who is going to respond well to being told "what we insist on," or to attempts "to push him ...."
I simply hoped to persuade you that with a man like Conyers, you are more likely to win him over if you treat him with respect, with the kind of courtesy appropriate to one of his age, and with deference to his position as Chairman, than by cursing him, instructing him, or pushing him to see and do things your way.
In any case, thanks for allowing me to express myself.
Having tried that for 3/4 of the time allotted, and with the future of our Republic on the line, it's worth pushing him. I'm sorry that you've fantasized that this must involve cursing at him. I intend it to involve his phone ringing off the hook all day and night with requests that he begin impeachment. You should get as many people to call as possible whom you can advise to speak to him and his staff with exactly the attitude you think best, but please get them to call!
As I understand it, AfterDowningStreet is your blog, and under your control. You, yourself, "moderate" the comments before you permit them to be published.
I have not "fantasized" the fact that the comments that YOU publish in YOUR blog are often full of character assassinations of John Conyers, and much cursing at him. Would "Fuck John Conyers" qualify as cursing at him, in your lexicon? And since you show so much concern about other people's honor, are you honorable enough to take responsibility for what you choose to publish?
Since you evidently could not keep your superior self from issuing instructions to me, too -- "You should get as many people to call as possible..." -- please be advised that I will ignore your unwanted instructions, and continue to wage my own campaign for the impeachments of Bush and Cheney in my own ways. Your way is your way -- but contrary to what you seem to think, your way is not the only way.
And nothwithstanding my disagreements with you over the most effective ways to deal with people, I will continue to honor the great efforts you have made, and I will continue to hope that your efforts will help to achieve what we are all working for.
those who say honor and respect Conyers or those who say fuck him, but that doesn't change the fact that I didn't ask anyone to call him up and curse at him - I asked them to call him up and ask him to hold impeachment hearings - which is actually how our democracy was designed to work and ow good representatives want it to work. It is actually not an insult to a representative to call them up and tell them how you'd like to be represented - not in a democractic republic.
"The political tide begins to be turning and that is why I feel so strongly that we should aggressively push for inherent contempt for Karl Rove and impeachment hearings for President Bush and Vice President Cheney."
A lot of people have been pushing for a long time. Conyers has the example of Martin Luther King but apparently he does not have the courage of Martin Luther King. He believes that if by some miracle we get Mr. Two-faced Obama elected all our troubles will be over.
Not so! Impeachment is needed to cut out the cancer that is eating our nation's soul and its values. If we do not come to the aid of our country now, November will be too late and January will way past too late.
Whether we instruct, advise or beg we need to politely tell Mr. Conyers that sometimes silence is betrayal.
David has every right to tell the guy at Burger King EXCACTLY how he want's his burger made..... And when the guy brings him the OPPOSITE of what he ordered than send the @*%#@$# back with instuctions that are easier to understand than the last time..... And when it happens every time you order ......for years...... than David has every right to go back to the kitchen and look over his @#$*%#@ shoulder until it gets done right... Now........just because this burger dude may or may not have 40+ years of burger making experience...and maybe the burger he gives David is just fine in Burger Kings book.. It's still not the burger that David ordered(and had every right to order)..... it is Davids duty to make sure that the burger he's forced to pay an arm and a leg for is the burger that he ordered regardless of wether or not Burger King wants to make it that way......PERIOD. This situation is ecxactly the same situation as with Conyers...... only people have more choices at Burger King than they do on election day!(where's the dollar menu)

And make it an even dozen. :)
Exactly nothing.
Apparently Mr. Conyers and many others actually do need to be instructed.
We have public admissions from George W. Bush himself, of not just his approval for illegal warrantless wiretapping, but also his approval of an illegal torture program.
We have the 935 documented Bush administation lies in the run-up to the illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.
We have the finding of the Senate intelligence committee, that Bush knowingly lied to "justify" the invasion of Iraq.
We have the results of the 2007 GAO study that reveals Bush's actual violation of at least 30% of the laws that he claimed the non-existent power to violate via his illegal signing statements.
We have the refusal to comply with subpoenas, which was precisely one of the Articles of Impeachment drawn up against Nixon.
We have a 350-plus page book from John Conyers himself, Constitution in Crisis (released in 2006), which impeccably documents the impeachable offenses of the Bush administration.
We have eighteen months since John Conyers became Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
And we have yet to have impeachment hearings.
That's not just unacceptable. It smacks of willing complicity in the crimes of the Bush administration.
The time for being nice has long passed. Mr. Conyers needs to do his job or step aside for a House Judiciary Chairman who is actually willing to support and defend the Constitution.

You are so right on, John Perry !
There is no excuse for John Conyers not having initiated Impeachment Hearings on the very day that he took over chairmanship of the Judiciary Committe in January of 2007 ... some 18 months ago. All the evidence and even admissions of impeachable offenses prior to that day were overwhelming ... only to have more and more come forward every day since ... each, while for each death of an American GI in Iraq there are also about 250 deaths of Iraqi civilians. John Conyers, and every other member of the House of Representatives (both Democrat and Republican) who has not called for and signed on to an Impeachment Resolution, is knowingly and willingly an accessory to the crimes of the Bush-Cheney Administration. To me they are just as criminal as Bush and Cheney and they should be treated by all the American People, their employers, as such !
Phil Restino
Co-Chair, Central Florida Veterans For Peace (VFP Chapter 136)
John Conyers has done absolutely nothing.
He has refused to arrest Karl Rove, Harriet Miers, Josh Bolton, Dick Cheney, etc. for failing to comply with subpeonas and other legal obstruction of judical proceedings.
He has refused to even hold a single hearing on Dick Cheney's willful abuses of power and treasonous acts -- even though he stands at 18% in the polls and few people other than Bush (and FOX News) would risk their own reputation to ever defend him.
John Conyers has, like a doormat, let this administration just do whatever it pleases and make a total mockery out of the existence of the House Judicial Committee. Anyone in the Bush adminstration can just flat out refuse to testify, thumb their noses at subpeonas, lie about anything with total immunity, all with no serious penalty or action ever taken against them.
This is all okay with John Conyers. He just wait another 5 days and send them one more letter (for them to laugh at and throw in the wastebasket).
Richard Nixon is rolling in his grave today wishing that John Conyers and Nancy Pelosi had been in charge during the 1970s. Not only would they have been no impeachment, Spiro Agnew would have still been in power along with Nixon, and the Vietnam War would have gone for another 3 years.
John Conyers is a fraud.
I called the number & got the HJC and they transferred me to Rep. Conyers office.
I told a staff person who I was & where I was calling from (Charlotte, NC). I asked that Rep. Conyers get the HJC to grant a hearing on Dennis Kucinich's Article of Impeachment that he was introducing today, or may have already introduced by now.
I told her that Bush & Cheney had ignored numerous citations & refused to answer important questions claiming Executive Privilege. I told her that during impeachment hearings they would not be able to claim Executive Privilege.
I asked that they please hold impeachment hearings.
She was very polite, told me should would pass my message along, and thanked for me calling.
Action Center For Justice
HJC answered & took note of my call for Conyers to have a hearing for Kucinich to present this impeachment article to be considered.
They do take note of every call.
Generally 10-20 calls on any single issue are considered a priority. A hundred is a major issue.
Can't we get 10,000 people to call? How many readers are there on ADS?
~ Mikael Rudolph
on a slow day
I called the judiciary committee number, got a staffer who listened and said she would be sure to pass my message on at 1640
The House chair granted it right after Dennis offered Bush's impeachment resolution. So, he's "out of the office" this afternoon.
I talked to a Conyers' staff member named Mr. Morgan. I reminded him that it was Conyers' duty to start impeachment hearings against the most criminal administration in history. He responded by saying there weren't enough votes. I said that the Constitution was not a political document and it does not state that elected officials should only be impeached if there are enough votes to convict. He said he didn't want to argue with me.
Chris Dorsey
I beg your ppardon for my ignorance; I haven't been very active politically before. When I call Conyer's office, what do I say?
And another newbie question. . .does it even matter now anyway? Bush/Cheny have done an enormous amount of damage to our country and the world; they should have been impeached years ago. But at this point in the game, will it matter? They are almost out of there - will anything good come of impeaching them at this late date?
Bill McLaughlin
Called and got a staffer who was polite and seemingly attentive. At the conclusion of a somewhat lengthy discussion he said he'd let Rep Conyers know of the call, I then asked if the content of the discussion would be passed along and he said : "no, we are just keeping a tally of those for and against." So it appears that citing all the reasons is in vain...only the tally matters...something that can easily be grossly altered by Rethuglicans or Wimpocrats.
And BTW it is my belief that the most compelling reason to impeach is to prevent a catastopic attack on Iran...the drumbeat for war gets louder with each passing day as Congress debates b.s. items and ignores real possibilities that should not be taken lightly.
Look, when some murderer and felon has their hands around your throat and is choking the life out of you - that is not the time to debate, consider alternatives, weigh strategies, etc. NO, it's time to grab the offender by the balls and carry on from that point. The entire Bush administration is a murderous felon that will not stop choking the life out of the United States and OUR Constitution... what's your problem, Mr. John Conyers? Fight back you old fart or make room for someone who will!
The machine said "messages would be checked periodically," which I interpret to mean "when the cows come home."

I called the HJC today and said I wanted Impeachment Hearings started, and also, that I wanted Karl Rove arrested. I watched Dennis on the floor of the House today. Then I called his office in DC to thank him. And I mailed a letter to John Conyers this week.
many weeks (last I heard, six) pass before snail mail gets to congress since anthrax. Think it is a good idea to send a letter, but I suggest emailing it and send letter so they have to see it again.
I just sent this fax to Mr Conyers,
Mr. Conyers,
Proceed with impeachment hearings on the article of impeachment presented by Dennis Kucinich! The complete contempt displayed to subpoenas by Bush administration officials can not be tolerated! The damage to this country caused by the totally unnecessary Iraq war undertaken for falsified reasons rests squarely on the Bush administration. This would certainly be a "high crime" under the constitution and MUST NOT escape investigation!
Do NOT ALLOW Nancy Pelosi's narrow-minded political agenda to stand in the way of this moral imperative! If the evidence dictates a senate trial it must happen no matter what Pelosi wants! She is a corrupt politician and should be impeached as well!

After speaking to "John F." of the Judiciary Committee staff, he switched me to a voice mail system. I left the following voice mail message on Friday, July 11 at about 09:15 ET:
Chairman Conyers:
Please invoke your power of inherent contempt to forcibly bring Bush Administration officials before your committee to answer the questions of its members.
The matters of inquiry contained in Representative Kucinich's articles of impeachment are many and very substantive. They are of grave importance to our republic.

P. S. Thank you, David Swanson, for all that you have done for our nation and for all that you continue doing for it.

Chairman Conyers:
Nothing less than the preservation of accountable, representative democracy requires that you invoke your power of inherent contempt against all U. S. government officials who have ignored the subpoenas that your committee has issued.
The matters addressed in Congressman Kucinich's articles of impeachment and in you own book are of grave importance to our nation.
Have integrity, take courage and act swiftly! Direct the Sargeant At Arms of the U. S. House Of Representatives to take custody of Carl Rove and others who have ignored subpoenas and bring them before your committee.
Mark Venzke
Here is a copy of the email i sent to Congressman Conyers
I teach my students that the President is not above the law. Karl Rove is not either so he should not be allowed to ignore subpoenas.
Please invoke your power of inherent contempt to forcibly bring Bush Administration officials before your committee to answer the questions of its members.
The articles of impeachment are very well written and contain serious charges that should not be ignored.
Allow Kucinich to present Impeachment articles to the House Judiciary Committee.

"Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity."
i called today
All he said was "thank you ill pass that along to the chair."
I do not understand, will never understand, why this Congress has allowed this Executive branch the blank check to continue W's war as well as disregard checks and balances, bill of rights etc. Bush and Cheney, Karl Rove they ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW, CONSTITUTION. Dennis is brave enough to speak the truth and the media ignores or makes fun of him?
I called this morning (7/11) asking that Kucinich's request to present to the judiciary committee be granted. The representative said he would pass the message on to Conyers.
I called approximately one hour ago. It's five thirty in florida and the aide (forgot his name darnit) said that he would be happy to pass the message along and asked if I were willing to leave my name and #. (OF COURSE!!!! but I'm sure you have it on record LMAO !)
Left my name and number, told him a joke to make him smile and asked if a lot of people had called. EMPHATIC YES !!!!
Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.
Called Nancy's DC office today, the phone just rang and rang, no answer afer more than 20 rings!!! So I called her SF office, and left a message saying that I want both Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney impeached, and I want Karl Rove arrested. I said that I would be arrested for ignoring a subpeona, and Karl Rove does not deserve special treatment.
Every week, Monday,Wednesday and Friday mornigs without fail at 6am[catime]i get on the phone and call conyers office.
Some days i start off by calling him a traitor who will himself windup being tried for war crimes.
Others begin by asking how much dust has accumulated on the file of cheneys impechment articles, and where in his office does he keep them, is it some place prominant?
If someone truly obnoxious answers i ask for them to justify how the good representitive found the spare time to write a book on the very resaons for impeaching the criminals, but yet finds it more important to investigate what the stains on mc guires pants were rather than the bussiness of the day.
This week i was in rare form, this was the first opportunity since their undeserved break so i had been chomping at the bit.
I wanted to know if it was conyers natural position to greet known hostile wittness before his committess prior to their testimony with outrageous comments such as those we we treated to when yoo and axelrod where at the sub-committee hearing.
"I want you to know i come to this hearing giving you both the bennifit of the doubt" was his opening slavo. WTF.......What doubt? And for whose benifit were those statements made?
After been treated with nothing but combatevness, arrogance and hostility in all of their answers over the many hours yoo and axelrod were there, what did conyers do?
He had the audacity to thank them both for thier cooperation and asked if they would come back again. To which axelrod ever defiant told him " you can always supena me again and we can go thru all of this all over again".
Perhaps its the fact he has been in office more than 35 years.
Perhaps he just getting old, tired and as senile as mcsame.
Or worse the real reson i believe that we will never see impeachment happen is because ot the infamous gang of 8.
This long forgotten cabal of insiders withinthe heirachy of our convoluted, crooked twisted government is up to bush's antics up to and way over their collective heads.
Pelosi and Harmon themselves were members at the time that:
illegal wire tapping started taking place prior to 9/11
Had front row seats for the non information was being packaged for sale in the buildup for the war.
Sat thru and watched all the proceedures to be used on POW's that they KNEW to be considered torture.
Knew of the video's that were made of the same torture.
Condoned the continual illegal wiretapping programs even after the "cat was out of the bag".
All members of the Gang of 8, knew every violation the divider was making along the way, sat back and allowed everything to take place without so much as a word.
Hiding behind the cloak of "national security" trumping their oaths to protect the constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC, they just assumed the unity president just would never go so far.
One must remember, each and every time the divider got caught with his pants down around his knobby knees he always made a point of saying, " members of congress at the highest level have been informed at every step of the way"
Well folks, the high members were the gang of 8 and who they were then have now come back to bite them on the butt as to who they have become now.
How would it look for the vaulted positioned Speaker of The House, next in line for the acendency to the very person we are seeking to impeach, should we be able to elliminate old man cheney too, suddenly have her dirty panty hose hung out to dry across the Rotunda?
Why folks, i believe it would be enough to make all of the botox begin to slip and slide out of position and it would nevr do to have Dorean Grey next up into to office now would it?
Or is he already there?
First, read the article linked below. Be sure to read the punchline at the end of the piece.
Seven Republican Members of House Judiciary Call for Impeachment out of Duty to the Constitution
I faxed each of these 7 a letter containing their words, and cc'd all of the letters via fax to Pelosi, Conyers, Waxman and Kucinich, plus the LA Times, and I'm going to cc via fax all the other members on the Judiciary Committee for good measure.
By the way, Sensenbrenner's fax no. is wrong on there - it should be: 202.255.3190
Here's my letter:
Hon. [Rep name]
I present you with your own words of nearly 10 years ago, and ask if they do not still apply today, and if not, why:

I look forward to your earliest reply.

Things I liked: Wanted a heavier weight pellet and these are heavy.
Things I would have changed: As has been said multiple times- QC is dismal. Being as how these pellets cost more than many .22 rimfire rounds per pellet, they should be defect free, within reason.

Things I liked: I recently purchased a tin of these at a store and after returning home dumped these out on a towel and started going through them. I found that 88 out of 150 had badly deformed skirts. I took the good ones and put some through my Nitro Fury and they did shoot well. Had good groupings with these, thus the only reason I gave it 2 stars for overall rating. 62 good pellets for what I paid made these awful expensive to shoot.
Things I would have changed: They need to establish a good quality control at the factory and also change the way these are packaged.
What others should know: If you buy these just know you will only be using a portion of them.

I was wondering if the copper and black nickel layering was damaging to the barrel and if so, is it noticeably damaging, or just technically more damaging. Also is the 10.5 gr weight of the pelket more damaging than a 7.9 gr pellet to the spring, or is there no difference. Any advice is helpful. Thank you in advance. Kris

Watch this awesome naughty amateur video featuring a hot sexy petite brunette babe Hailey as she seductively stripped down her clothes and then gave a nice hand job to the guy who was video taping her until he cums so hard on her tits. It all started as this fine looking hot babe Hailey was wearing only her underwear. She was standing on the bed and removing her clothes one by one. Seductively moving her body, Hailey removed first her top to flaunt her nice perky small titties. The guy who was holding the camera couldn't even resist as he immediately grabbed and squeezed Hailey's titties. She afterwards turned her back, bended over and slowly removed her panties. Hailey lie down on the bed and spread her legs wide open to show her yummy nice pussy to the guy. She then went straight to the guy who was holding the camera and started giving him a hand job. She stroked the cock really good until the guy was about to cum. The guy afterwards cum so hard and exploded all his jizz on Hailey's titties and she definitely enjoyed it.

I have my network scan setup with the pcs I want to scan daily per schedule. Occasionally, I would like to scan a single pc to get the most up to date info, but I don't want to have to click skip on all the other listed devices. While they're all in the same subnet, most have static ip's and not necessarily within a range. So I had to list most of them individually. (I inherited the network with it's present IP scheme and can't easily change without breaking several operations)
So the question is, is there a way to establish a second network scan section for individual, on the spot scans?
May 13, 2009 at 12:14 UTC
If you go into the details of your device, you can hit the refresh button which will re-scan that particular device.

May 13, 2009 at 11:30 UTC
I don't believe that you can do this in the network scans. Are you in a position where something like the Stand Aline Agent would solve your problem?
See DinkLock's How-To at http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/show/178 for details on the agent including how to set it up.
May 13, 2009 at 11:50 UTC
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but can't you just click "Click Here To Add A New Scan Entry" and put in that one computer?
May 13, 2009 at 12:04 UTC
Thanks for your replies.
Justin - I'll take a look at your suggestion.
Timmy - yes, that's what I've done for most of them but if I don't want a full network scan of all systems I have to manually click the skip checkbox on all the systems i don't want to scan at that moment. And, I can't leave them checked or the next scheduled scan will skip them.
Thanks again.

Victims can get their stolen items back
Published May 29th, 2014
Loading Video...
Marion County, Florida -- Deputies with the Marion county sheriff's department filled a trailer today with stolen items from victim's homes and cars.
Next week these people will have a chance to get their possessions back.
More than 200 items will be on display.
Most items are from burglaries in the southern portion of the county.
But more than a dozen items involved a citizen who found the property and turned them in.
Items include tools, backpacks, lawn equipment and dvd players to name a few.
Clarence Bolden, Gainesville: "I've had computers, laptops stolen, nothing necessarily that's like jewelry or nothing like that but just the fact that you feel violated after something like that happens and knowing you can get a part of that back makes you less violated."
The event is scheduled for Monday, June 2 at the Marion county sheriff's department multi-purpose building from 1-4 p.m.

Michael Jackson's "Beat It" Acapella
Michael Jackson's personal demo of "Beat It" has started floating around online. If you've never heard it before, it's pretty awesome. Plus, you get to learn something cool about Michael's process for presenting music.
Michael Jackson couldn't play a ton of instruments. He played a little bit of piano, and could obviously sing. So, Michael would write all the parts for a song in his head, including the string and horn sections. He would then record each part and arrange them to make a song. It was that finished product he would hand off to people that could play those instruments. They would record the parts and Michael would go in and sing.
Check out Michael's acapella version of "Beat It."

SSH and catos
- Purple, 4500 points or more
We currently have all our catos accepting both SSH and telnet sessions . We need to turn off telnet now . For most except our distr. boxes we do not have any permit lists applied. What is required on catos to shut off telnet for both boxes that do currently have a permit list and ones that do not. To shut off on ones that do not have a list I would think you would enable a telnet ip permit command with no permit list applied but I'm not sure and cannot find docs to support this . any help appreciated.

By Joan Biskupic, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON For months before she became a Supreme Court justice, Elena Kagan, then the U.S. solicitor general, was nearly as much a fixture in the majestic courtroom as the nine justices.
Today, she joins her new colleagues for the first time in an arguably more hallowed space: the justices' private, oak-paneled conference room. It is where, with no law clerks or secretaries present, they decide which cases to take up and, later, how they should be resolved. In the first of these private sessions for the new term, which officially begins Oct. 4, the justices will sort through thousands of appeals filed over the summer to decide which should be granted hearings.
"Nothing makes the difference between the ninth justice and the so-called 10th justice (as the solicitor general has been dubbed) more apparent than the conference," says Paul Clement, a former solicitor general. "Even someone like Justice Kagan, who has served as both a law clerk (for the late Justice Thurgood Marshall) and the solicitor general, cannot know quite what it is like to join in the discussion of cases. The conference room is where all the most important decisions are made, and they are made by the nine justices and no one else."
PHOTOS: Elena Kagan
FULL COVERAGE: Latest from Supreme Court
SUPREME COURT: Upcoming cases
A prominent feature in the relatively spare room off the chambers of the chief justice is an oil portrait of Chief Justice John Marshall, who served from 1801-1835. The nine take their seats, in order of seniority, around a rectangular table.
Many justices in recent decades, including now-retired Sandra Day O'Connor, have spoken of how intimidating the first private session can be. Last month, in a speech in Hawaii, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the first conference with a new justice can be anxiety-producing for veteran colleagues as well.
"We do get nervous when we go into conference," he said, emphasizing that the venue is where justices stake out their own legal positions. "A new justice reminds us again that we must be committed to being as excellent as possible."
Kennedy added, "When you have a new justice, you kind of strut your stuff all over again."
Among the many appeals pending on today's agenda are those testing whether the president's advance team can exclude people from a public speech based on their views and whether a corporation that has filed a report with a federal agency may claim a "personal privacy" exemption to the Freedom of Information Act to block disclosure of the material. An order listing some of the cases granted review would come Tuesday.
Kagan, who was sworn in Aug. 7, has already set up her chambers in the marble-columned building and mingled there with some of the justices. She most likely is not unmindful of the burden of her first conference and the established relationships among the justices.
Last year, Justice Sonia Sotomayor broke the ice by bringing to her first meeting cookies from an Italian bakery.

text: The effects of obstetric complications on the health and socio-economic wellbeing of women and their families in 1 Burkina Faso The effects of obstetric complications on the health and socio-economic wellbeing of women and their families in Burkina Faso (V Filippi, N Meda, R Ganaba, S Murray, T Marshall, S Russell, K Storeng, P Iboulo, M Akoum) Hewlett Foundation / ESRC funded 2 Types of health / well-being outcomes with examples of negative consequences of maternal near miss infertility no living child damaged pelvic structure anaemia impaired functionality Physical health consequences marital disharmony household dissolution depression Mental health consequences Social consequences migration suicide social isolation impaired productivity Economic consequences stigmatization asset depletion borrowing & debt income poverty food insecurity 3 Well-being following a pregnancy, childbirth or complications [The delivery] is a little bit dangerous. But there is also happiness. After the delivery, if everything went well, and you see the child, you are happy (Burkinabè mother) Because I was losing urine, I did not want to get pregnant before my fistula was repaired. [My husband] used to threaten me with a knife, accusing me of having sexual relationships with other men (18-year old Burkinabè woman with vesico-vaginal fistula) 4 Well-being following a pregnancy, childbirth or complications "Even yesterday they were speaking about it. They were saying that if it hadn't been for the cost of my operation, the problem of buying [food] wouldn't have been as bad, because we could have spent the money that we spent on the operation to buy millet. When they say things like this, I just get up and leave the room and wait until they have finished before I go back in and join them". 5 Rationale • Burden of disease from maternal causes underestimated due to lack of attention to outcomes after pregnancy • Emergency medical care saves lives, but those surviving near miss may face potentially disabling consequences. But inadequate support for those women who survive such experiences • The research also relevant to wider social protection debates. Illhealth is a shock to household resources and livelihood activities impoverishment • Identify factors influencing vulnerability and resilience to such shocks • Inform social protection policy, including health policy, to enhance resilience. Growing research in this policy area but not for maternal health. 6 A "near-miss" event operational definitions • Dystocia: uterine rupture, bandl ring • Haemorrhage: blood loss with shock, blood transfusion, hysterectomy or troubles of coagulation • Infections: hyperthermia, hypothermia, with 'foyer evident' and signs of shock • Hypertension: eclampsia and severe pre-eclampsia • Anemia: HB<4g/dl or 4-7 g/dl with signs of shock or blood transfusion • Others: renal dysfunctions, ICU admission etc • Maternal deaths before discharge are not selected 7 Our basic hypotheses • Near-miss complications are likely to be associated with long-term health, social and economic consequences • The consequences experienced by women will depend in part on the type or child outcome of near-miss complication experienced by the woman. 8 Overview of longitudinal design First cohort study (2004-6) Current follow-up study (fieldwork now ongoing) Live birth n=199 Women with near miss (n=337) Early pregnancy loss n=64 Still birth / neonatal death n=74 New control group Women with normal delivery (n=677) Months postpartum 2004 0 3 6 12 2005 36 2006 2007 2008 48 2009 9 First study - Key findings 10 High mortality after hospital discharge Women's survival 2% of women died after discharge in the near miss group, equivalent to a MMR of 1800 100% 98% 97% 96% 95% 0 3 6 9 12 Follow-up time since end of pregnancy (months) Severe obstetric complications Infants' survival Uncomplicated deliveries 100% 95% 8% mortality in babies born to women in near miss group Survival (%) Survival (%) 99% 90% 85% 80% 75% 0 3 6 9 Follow-up time since end of pregnancy (months) severe obstetric complications 12 11 Uncomplicated deliveries Morbidity – mental health, risk of depression % women with K10 score ≥14 30% Depression – K10 score NM live birth 25% NM early pregnancy loss NM perinatal death 20% Normal delivery 15% 10% 5% 0% 3 months 6 months 12 months Follow-up time 12 Morbidity – mental health, suicidal thoughts Suicidal thoughts in past year % women reporting suicidal thoughts in the past year 16% NM live birth 14% NM early pregnancy loss 12% NM perinatal death Normal delivery 10% 8% 6% 4% 2% 0% 3 months 6 months 12 months Follow-up time "Have you ever thought about taking your own life, even if you knew you weren't actually going to do it?" 13 Social impact: relationship with husband Unhappy relationship with husband Worse relationship with husband compared to before the end of pregnancy NM live birth 25% NM early pregnancy 25% 20% 15% 20% NM perinatal death 15% Normal delivery 10% 10% 5% 5% 0% 3 months 6 months 12 months 0% 3 months Physical abuse since end of pregnancy/last interview 8% 6 months 12 months Sexual abuse since end of pregnancy/ last interview 8% 6% 6% 4% 4% 2% 2% 0% 3 months 6 months 12 months 0% 3 months 6 months *including only women reporting as married/cohabiting at recruitment 12 months 14 Economic impacts: long-lasting burdens • Higher fees and direct cost burdens for nearmiss cohort • Higher levels of debt • Slower repayment of debt among debt-takers who had near-miss complications: 12.0% in debt vs. 3.7% at 12 months • Small levels of debt contributed to everyday struggle for survival for poor households • But in general economic findings more limited in first study 15 Summary of findings • High level of postpartum morbidity for all women • Evidence of near-miss effect but also 'no baby' effect • Near-miss effect: – – – • • Significant increased mortality in near-miss women and babies after discharge negative feelings, lack of self esteem up to a year postpartum More likely to have debts up to 1 year postpartum 'No baby' effect: – Women with early pregnancy loss at much higher risk for severe anaemia& ill health – Women with perinatal mortality at increased risk for mental health problems – Marital disharmony in early postpartum, and sexual violence remains at 12 months – Pressure to have another pregnancy again quickly Limited role of socio-economic status in explaining health findings 16 Methods for follow up study • Find the women in the original cohort and seek informed consent to do follow up visits • Re-visit the women in the cohort at 36 and 48 months • Add a comparison group of women who delivered at home or in a health centre (neighbourhood sampling approach) • Select a small purposive sample for in depth qualitative follow up 17 Re-recruiting women for the study % of previous sample found Re-recruiting women to the study (as at September 2008) 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 BoboDoulasso (n=173) Dédougou (n=113) Houndé (n=67) Nouna (n=82) Ouagadougou (n=284) Tenkodogo (n=26) TOTAL (n=745) Location % of previous cohort found % we still hope to find 18 Quantitative data collection Interviews with women at 36/48 months on economic and social well being: • Subjective health measures: perceived physical health and mental health (K10), child health and mortality (incl. children born after the index birth) • Objective health measures: rapid medical check up at home (haemoglobin, anthropometry, urine tests, fever, blood pressure) • Physical assets: household construction and items • Food security index Interviews with men • Physical and natural assets (Housing, HH items, livestock…) • Food production • Key expenditure items Standardised instruments and questions developed on the basis of literature A note on socio-economic concepts: a multi-dimensional approach to socioeconomic well-being / poverty measurement: assets, command over commodities, and functionings and capabilities (Sen) 19 Qualitative data collection 1. The effect of a specific traumatic event on social and economic well-being: caesarian-section (n=20) – C-section incurred high / catastrophic direct costs – Has implications for subsequent pregnancies and delivery 2. Long–term consequences of economic shock on women's livelihood and socio-economic well-being (n=22) – Explore changes in women's lives, e.g. relationships and social status – Coping strategies and outcomes 4 years later – resilience? • Taped interviews. Analysis using Nvivo software and joint analysis workshops 20 Ethical dilemmas • Big debate among team, and some disagreement, on whether and how the research project can act when suffering and dangers to health identified among research subjects, especially during in depth repeat visits. • In first study overwhelming amount of suffering found in repeated visits: depression, fistulae, extreme hunger, violence, • At that time difficult to decide on a threshold at which to intervene • Team has now established some basic guidelines for the researchers in the field on whether and when to take action, and what action to take. • Length of questionnaire also a concern • At end of first study, community dissemination with theatre forums well received and well attended 21 Policy implications • Programmes must consider the implications of severe, near-miss complications with sequelae for women who survive, not only in evaluation but also programmatically. • Rethink postnatal care: target 'near-misses' in the post-partum as they may have long term ill health • It is essential to develop innovative mechanisms for financing maternal healthcare that do not place the burden on the household and contribute to further impoverishment • Greater government provision for expensive emergency care, not just skilled birth attendance • Measures to increase awareness of risks in pregnancy and initiatives to address gender inequalities that place some women at disproportionate risk • • E.g. White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood (in Burkina Faso) E.g. Income generating schemes for women? 22 Further research needed • Intervention studies testing innovative strategies, not only before or during pregnancy or delivery, but also after complications have occurred • Evaluate effects of changes in user fees or other financing mechanisms to protect the poor on long term economic outcomes 23 Acknowledgments • Funders: • Immpact (Burkina Phase 1) • Hewlett Foundation/ESRC (Burkina Phase 2) • Research teams: • Burkina Phase 1: Veronique Filippi, Rasmane Ganaba, Thomas Ouedraogo, Tom Marshall, Issiaka Sombie, Melanie Akoum, Fatou Ouattara, Becky Baggaley and Nicolas Meda • Burkina Phase 2: Veronique Filippi, Rasmane Ganaba, Tom Marshall, Melanie Akoum, Nicolas Meda , Susan Murray, Steve Russell 24 Concepts and indicators Wellbeing dimension 1 The resources that a person can command 2 What they are able to do and achieve with those resources 3 Meanings of what they do/ achieve Functionings & capabilities Livelihood activities, being busy Concepts / variables Assets Human Physical Natural Financial Social Entitlements Food security Health service access Command over other commodities Physical health Mental health Relationships Taking part in family life without shame Taking part in community life without shame Motherhood and being a 'normal' mother Self-esteem Agency – decision-making and choices about future reproductive health Measures indicators HH size No of adults able to work House floor material Water supply Land Livestock Debt / saving level Meals per day Portion size Skipping meals Frequency going hungry etc… (food security index) Paid hospital bill Expenditure on key items Main occupational activities Main reproductive / HH activities Women activity days Child development indicators Mental health measures / scores Physical health measures – objective (BMI, haemoglobin…) Subjective health measures 25

Former Tamilnadu CM Jayalalithaa was today elected the leader of the AIADMK legislative party and would soon take over as the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu. Jayalalithaa was forced to quit as the CM last year as she was jailed under the disproportionate assets case, and O.Paneerselvam took over as the CM during her absence. Now that she has been acquitted of the charges a few weeks back, she is all set to return to the top post in Tamilnadu as she no longer has an active conviction judgment against her.
The re-election of Jayalalithaa as the leader of the legislative party took place today morning as Mr.Paneerselvam quit the post. She is expected to take over shortly and it's reported that the state might see elections sooner than next year, when her term ends.
