Beverley is a western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is located in the City of Charles Sturt.
The suburb is mainly bounded by Port Road, East Avenue, Ledger Road and Grange Road.[8]
Beverley incorporates the formerly separate suburb of York,[9] site of the skin and fertiliser works of Crompton and Sons.[10] Other once important manufacturing businesses of the area were Pope Products Ltd. on Princess Street, Adelaide Potteries Ltd. on Toogood Avenue and a number of independent brickworks.
Beverley Post Office was open from 1 January 1881 until 1901.[11]
The 2006 Census by the Australian Bureau of Statistics counted 1,362 persons in Beverley on census night. Of these, 51.6% were male and 48.4% were female.[2]
The majority of residents (67.1%) are of Australian birth, with other common census responses being England (2.5%), Greece (2.3%) and Italy (2.1%).[2]
The age distribution of Beverley residents is similar to that of the greater Australian population. 68.3% of residents were over 25 years in 2006, compared to the Australian average of 66.5%; and 31.7% were younger than 25 years, compared to the Australian average of 33.5%.[2]
Local government[edit]
Beverley is part of Beverley Ward in the City of Charles Sturt local government area, being represented in that council by Edgar Agius and Mick Harley.[5]
State and federal[edit]
Beverley lies in the state electoral district of Croydon[6] and the federal electoral division of Port Adelaide.[7] The suburb is represented in the South Australian House of Assembly by Michael Atkinson[6] and federally by Mark Butler.[7]
St Michael's College is located on East Avenue.[12]
Facilities and attractions[edit]
Adelaide Arena[edit]
Adelaide Arena, located between William Street and Toogood Avenue, is an indoor basketball stadium and function centre.[13] Also known as Distinctive Homes Dome and, formerly, Clipsal Powerhouse, the facility was constructed in 1991, replacing the former Apollo Stadium. It is the home of the Adelaide 36ers and the Adelaide Lightning.[13]
Beverley is serviced by Port Road, connecting the suburb to Port Adelaide and Adelaide city centre, and Grange Road, which forms part of its southern boundary. East Avenue, on Beverley's eastern boundary, links Port and Grange roads.[8]
Public transport[edit]
Beverley is serviced by public transport run by the Adelaide Metro.[14]

If you search the forum you'll find answers to all of your questions. To save you some trouble, the big concern with 545's is the coolant pipe that runs through the V in the V8. It often develops a leak that can cause oil dilution and/or fry the alternator (if coolant drips onto it). Factory fix is very, very expensive ($5K+) and an aftermarket fix (with an expandable replacement coolant pipe) is also available that most reputable indy shops can install for ~$2.5K total. I'm sure some 545's never develop this leak and will run for 100's of thousands of miles, but you'll probably hear horror stories from some members and may decide that the 550 is a better choice, despite the higher cost.
So look for leaks -- coolant and oil. Also, have the oil checked for the presence of coolant -- if any is there (even a tiny amount) you are probably heading for big trouble.

Aspirin / oxycodone Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Warnings
Aspirin / oxycodone is also known as: Endodan, Percodan, Percodan-Demi, Roxiprin
Aspirin / oxycodone Pregnancy Warnings
Aspirin-oxycodone has not been formally assigned to pregnancy category by the FDA. Aspirin has been assigned to pregnancy category D by the FDA and oxycodone has been assigned to pregnancy category B by the FDA. Salicylates readily cross the placenta and inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, which may cause constriction of ductus arteriosus resulting in pulmonary hypertension and increased fetal mortality. Use of aspirin in pregnancy has been associated with alterations in both maternal and fetal hemostasis. Maternal aspirin use during later stages of pregnancy may cause low birth weight, increased incidence of intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants, stillbirths, and neonatal death. Use of aspirin during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, should be avoided. Use of narcotic analgesics in late pregnancy has been associated with the risk of neonatal withdrawal. There are no controlled data in human pregnancy. Aspirin-oxycodone should only be given during pregnancy only when there are no alternatives and benefit outweighs risk.
Aspirin / oxycodone Breastfeeding Warnings
Aspirin is excreted into human milk in small amounts. Peak milk salicylate levels have been reported at nine hours after maternal dosing (and measured at 1.1 mg/dl). Because of a single case report of metabolic acidosis, the American Academy of Pediatric characterizes aspirin as a drug that has been "associated with significant effects on some nursing infants and should be given to nursing mothers with caution". Oxycodone is excreted into human milk, but the clinical significance is unknown.

The System: LightSquared Interference with GPS
And the Beat Goes on
Developments in the LightSquared saga came fast and furious in June; highlights are listed below and briefly recapped in the adjacent news story. It will be dated by the time you receive this issue, as it went to press three weeks prior.
For current events, see Top Story and Latest News, and the full versions of stories abridged here. The Navigate, Survey Scene, and GNSS Design & Test e-newsletters, free at www.gpsworld.com/subscribe, will keep you up to date.
In chronological order, from late May to late June:
- LightSquared Las Vegas Test Towers Flawed, FCC Filing Shows
- House Bill Ensures FCC Takes No Action that Would Harm Military Use of GPS
- Test Data Shows LightSquared Slams Medium, High-Precision GPS Receivers
- PNT Advisory Board Finds Interference, Says Move It
- LightSquared, FCC Rebuttals Distort Record
- NPEF Report on Military Receivers Calls for FCC Recision
- LightSquared Asks for, Receives Extension on Final Interference Report
- Claims of LightSquared Solution Discounted
- Air Transport Association Tells Congress to Protect GPS
- Interference with GPS Poses Major Threat to U.S. Economy
- LightSquared Applies to International Telecommunications Union for Global Signal
Flawed Test Towers
Results from a key round of field tests conducted near Las Vegas, Nevada, may show overly optimistic results regarding the effects of the LightSquared terrestrial signal on GPS receivers. According to a LightSquared addendum filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) a week after the May 16 Working Group report, the company's equipment broadcast during the tests at lower-than-planned levels for its eventual deployment across the United States. Further, LightSquared may not currently be prepared or equipped to broadcast according to the terms of its business plan or its conditional waiver.
LightSquared does not appear to have developed the full software suite nor possess the full equipment to implement the plan the company says has been in preparation for many years. Critical testing was conducted under conditions that do not truly replicate what may be the case should the FCC allow the plan to go forward.
House Bills Target the Waiver
On May 27, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill stating that the FCC shall not provide final authorization for LightSquared operations until Defense Department concerns about GPS interference have been resolved. The bill then went to the U.S. Senate for its action.
On June 23, the House Appropriations Committee approved action that would stop the FCC from expending any funds related to the LightSquared conditional waiver until all concerns have been resolved about interference with GPS. The amendment passed in a unanimous voice vote by the full committee, underscoring growing congressional concern about harm to GPS.
The House actions and a letter to the FCC signed by 32 U.S. senators may presage a showdown over the issue between Congress and the president, who has promised increased broadband access. A 4G wireless network providing this access could be facilitated by LightSquared sales of service via its tower transmitters to wireless carriers. LightSquared has already signed a $20 billion, 15-year deal with Sprint.
Tests Slam High-Precision Receivers
Data from Las Vegas field tests show that wide-bandwidth, high-precision GPS receivers started feeling the effects of the LightSquared transmission about 1,800 meters from the tower. Medium-bandwidth high-precision GPS receivers started feeling the effects of the LightSquared transmission at about 1,200 meters from the tower. In each case, there was about a 200-meter buffer from when the GPS receivers started to feel the effects of the LightSquared transmission to the GPS receiver being jammed, at 1,600 meters and 1,000 meters respectively.
GPS World has received further details of the tests but has not been authorized to publish them yet.
Deere & Company, a major provider of precision agriculture equipment and services, notified the FCC on May 26 of substantial interference with its GPS receivers by the LightSquared signal. Deere receivers registered impact of and interference by the LightSquared signal as far away as 22 miles from a transmitter. Further, the company has found no practicable technical solution to the problem.
PNT Advisory Board: Move ATC
At its June 9–10 meeting, the National Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) Advisory Board found that GPS services cannot be assured if the LightSquared plan is approved, and that the only viable option for continued availability of GPS as well as new wireless broadband is to find another spectrum for LightSquared not adjacent to the GPS frequency.
The formal recommendation reads: "The provision of GPS services cannot be assured if the LightSquared proposal for satellite and terrestrial broadband provision using the MSS L-Band receives final approval.
"The only reasonable and viable option to continue ubiquitous availability of GPS and the provision of a new 4G wireless broadband capability would be for the FCC to assign an alternate frequency spectrum to LightSquared that has little or no probability of affecting the delivery or utilization of GPS/GNSS services."
During the discussion, one advisory board member, a former goveronor of the state of Wyoming, told presenter Jeff Carlisle of LightSquared, "Your definition of mitigation seems more tied to a legal argument than a common-sense argument."
Rebuttals Distort Record
Claims by LightSquared's Carlisle and FCC chair Julius Genachowski, that the GPS industry knew long ago about LightSquared's plan for powerful terrestrial transmitters, contradict the truth. Examination of FCC filings show that the GPS industry knew about and agreed to a plan by a previous ownership of the company, for a different purpose, with a different business concept, and employing a completely different technological approach, one that would not have harmed GPS transmissions and disabled GPS users the way the current LightSquared plan does.
The terrestrial broadband operations first unveiled in November 2010 cannot be described as ancillary to the purpose for which Lightsquared predecessors Motient, MSV, and SkyTerra received their spectrum and licenses — that is, to provide a service that was primarily a mobile satellite service. The November letter to the FCC described a new business model that turns the original concept on its head. LightSquared for the first time revealed plans to build a "nationwide network of 40,000 terrestrial base stations," and stated that "the capacity of its fully deployed terrestrial network across all base stations will be tens of thousands of times the capacity of either of [its] satellites."
The deviations from established policy required to accommodate LightSquared's new business model are not technicalities. They represent a fundamental change to a complex and interrelated set of rules that were carefully designed to protect GPS users from interference.
The predecessor companies had to protect their own primary satellite operations from interference. The protection that their own satellite operations required was also sufficient — at that time — to protect GPS receivers. The terrestrial network and powerful signal LightSquared now proposes bear no resemblance to the operations the FCC authorized in 2003.
Military Report Calls for FCC Retreat
The National PNT Engineering Forum concluded after testing classified and GPS receivers under LightSquared terrestrial transmission conditions: "Significant concerns remain that operation of an ATC integrated service as originally envisioned by the FCC cannot successfully coexist with GPS."
The NPEF report calls for rescinding the FCC waiver for LightSquared terrestrial transmissions, conducting more thorough studies on impacts, and revisiting the 2003–2010 authorizations. The group tested a variety of military receivers under classified categorization, also known as "government receivers."
Final Report Withheld
At the last minute of a June 15 deadline for the final Working Group report on interference, LightSquared asked for a two-week extension. Federal regulators granted the request, and the final report is now due on July 1.
A spokesperson for the Coalition to Save Our GPS revealed that "The Working Group results show devastating interference to GPS and no proven method of mitigation. Delay will not change these results. These results are the same results the FCC had had before it granted the waiver."
Some Solution. Three days after requesting the delay, LightSquared announced it had solved the problem, by proposing to broadcast only from the lower end of its permitted spectrum band. GPS experts countered that this would still disable the functioning of high-precision receivers.
Air Transport Opposes Waiver
The Air Transport Association and the Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association told Congress that the only acceptable mitigation is for LightSquared's operations to be moved outside of the L-band and away from GPS. "With so much of the early evidence showing that LightSquared's proposed network would potentially endanger nearly every flight operating in U.S. airspace, it seems evident that no further development of this system can be allowed."
Going Global
LightSquared has filed documents relative to the International Telecommunications Union, signaling intent to use its entire band at the full authorized power. The company's goal appears to be to work internationally, circumventing U.S. regulation, to obtain permits to broadcast a terrestrial signal globally.

Okay, you can do much better! Buy a bag of Natural Choice Wholesome Essentials kitten in the light green bag from any major pet store. Your kitten should be introduced to solid food by nine weeks. Mix it in with the pouches until they are all gone and she is eating only solid food. Over the long run, a half pouch every other day as a treat is okay, but the hard food is better for their teeth and will save you on vet dental treatments later in your cat's life. When kitty is six months, you can try all the different flavors of greenies dental treats, in flavors like fish and catnip... Yummeow!!

Many would like to have a secured network, however most have no inclination as to how they would accomplish such a goal. What they may not be aware of, is that there is two major layers of security to a network that protect computers against attacks. Each individual layer adds additional protection to stop people from gaining access to your network. More importantly, it prevents them from having access to your personal computer and sensitive information.
Hard line networks that only use cables are extremely difficult to gain access to, but not impossible. Wireless, though, is fairly simple for those that know what they are doing. That is why it is so important to maintain a secured network. If your network is not secured, they could gain access from right in front of your house to your Internet. This will slow your connection down as you are now sharing it with someone else. After they have gained access to your router, they also will have access to your computer, and all files that you have shared.
This is where multiple layers of network security come into play. You will be required to use a password to gain access to the router in the event they try to change your network settings, as well as a password to access the network itself, and yet another password to access your personal computer. If you fully utilize all available layers of network security, it will be incredibly difficult for anyone illegally to access your network, or personal computer.
The process is actually simple, but is broken down into two different subcategories with step-by-step instructions for each individual layer. Below you will find the process to properly secure your network.
Important Reminder: Each layer of security will make it more difficult for you to bypass. Remember these steps, in the event that you need to disable them temporarily. You may also see "How To Create Windows Firewall Exceptions [1]" if you need to allow specific programs through your windows firewall.
At The Router Level (First Layer of Security):
Steps to access your Router:
1) Go to Run (Win+R is the keyboard shortcut) and type cmd. This will bring up the command line.
2) In the command line, type ipconfig and hit the Enter key.
3) Locate where it says Default Gateway. This is the IP address to your Router. Usually it is 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1
4) Open your browser and input that IP address into your URL box.
5) This will now open a screen to Login to your router. The default password will vary from router to router, so see your instruction manual to locate this.
After accessing your router, there are a few additional steps that you should take to increase the security to your router. The result, listed as the exact steps, will vary based on each individual router company.
– Change the Default Administration Password: This will aid in preventing people from accessing your router and changing the settings around, which could allow them easier access to your network.
– Disable Remote Login: Makes it so they are unable to even access the router, even if they have the information from remote locations.
– Change the network name (Also known as SSID): By default, a lot of network names have the product name, giving hackers a starting point, as many default passwords are the manufacturer's name.
– Turn off SSID broadcasting: This will prevent your router from sending out the name of your network on a consistent basis as most do by default.
– Add the individual IP address of each computer you use, and filter out the rest: This is also called IP filtering/Mac Filtering.
– Enable your routers wireless encryption: Most will have WPA ,WPA2 ,WEP, and several others. The best for personal use is WPA or WPA2. WEP is only basic encryption, and could be broken within a few hours by someone who has the right knowledge or tools. Change the password to something you will not forget. With this password you can allow others access to your network, while blocking out unwanted visitors.
– Update your Router Firmware.
The exact steps in this section vary quite a bit. However, most will be found under security, or admin of your specific router.
Network And Sharing Center (Second level of security):
Windows offers an additional layer of security within the Network and Sharing Center. To access this area, and properly secure your computer from the network follow the steps listed below.
1) Press the Start Icon
2) Click Control Panel on the right hand side
3) Click Network
4) Click Setup File Sharing
This is the Network and Sharing Center for Windows.
The next steps are fairly simple to ensure the highest level of security. You may change a few settings based on how often you have others accessing your files, or you may just turn them on as necessary.
Make sure under Sharing and Discovery the settings below are changed:
– Network discovery- Off
– File sharing- Off
– Public folder sharing-Off
– Printer sharing-Off
– Password protected sharing-ON
– Media sharing-Off
You can also change your network name through Windows in the Network and Sharing Center. To the right of your network name, you will see Customize After clicking Customize, you can rename the network as windows identifies it. You also may select either a Public or Private connection.
Of course these are only a few levels of security you can add to protect your network, and your personal computer. This is not factoring in your personal programs like Zone Alarm, which blocks all Internet and LAN activity when you hit Stop Traffic, or other anti-virus software. Many of which will block, and attempt to trace the IP of anyone who attempts to hack through their programs.

It says it has a seiko movement in it, but otherwise how is it different. Looks a lot like any other seiko Ive seen, is it just a difference in the branding? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FCGOA Defeats UGSOA at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Headquarters in Wash DC
UGSOA TROUBLES continue to mount as more and more UGSOA members reach out for help to FCGOA.
With over 100 officers eligible to vote in this election UGSOA's Troubles are just beginning as FCGOA Defeats UGSOA at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Headquarters in Washington D.C. Today.
"Today's VICTORY by FCGOA against UGSOA and it's UGSOA Local 44 sends a clear message to UGSOA President Desiree Sullivan that all is NOT Well at UGSOA" Stated FCGOA President Guy James.
James also stated " that a Strong Labor Union requires that it's members understand that the Union is theirs and that the Union leadership be attuned to the desires of the members. Obviously UGSOA President Desiree Sullivan doesn't understand this...BUT FCGOA Does.
That's one of the major differences between the FCGOA and UGSOA". The Security Police Professionals working at the National Defense University found that out after voting FCGOA YES just last month.
On September 7 the National Labor Relations Board in Washington D.C. will be counting the ballots to decide if the 240 Justice Protective Service Officers working for WSI which are also members of UGSOA Local 44 in Washington D.C. are also going to join the 100 plus INS Security Police Officers who voted today in favor of joining FCGOA.

Congrats! to FCGOA and congrats! to MVM.
To all WSI personnel:
MVM got it right! Now, it is our turn to get the representation that we deserve. I am glad to have had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Guy James (P) and Mr. James Napolitano (VP) of the FCGOA International staff.
Listen. These guys know what is up! Federal Government Security is in a very high demand these days especially after 9/11/01, DON'T FORGET!!! I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence. But, rest assure the FCGOA is ready to represent us to the highest level and we definitely need it.
They actually walked around to checked up on us... WOW!! That is awesome!!! I actually felt respected for a change. I made sure that the brand new JPSO standing next to me at the time was clear that they are going to be our new union representatives.
In other words, VOTE FCGOA!!!
FCGOA is also awaiting the results of an election in case 16-RC-10932. FJC / UGSOA / FCGOA Texas which was filed back in April of 2010. At this time UGSOA President Desiree Sullivan is refusing to allow eight (8)challenged ballots to be opened and counted in this election despite several NLRB rulings in favor of the FCGOA to count these challenged ballots having her attorneys file appeal after appeal on every ruling.
"UGSOA President Desiree Sullivan continues to deny these UGSOA officers an opportunity to have their voices heard knowing that these eight (8) challenged ballots would give the FCGOA a clear victory in this election". Stated FCGOA President Guy James.
UGSOA TROUBLES continue to mount as more and more UGSOA members reach out for help. In Washington D.C. the FCGOA has just signed a stipulated agreement to represent 130 Watkin Security Officers working at various DC school districts after UGSOA Desiree Sullivan DISCLAIMED INTEREST in this group after selling them off to SEIU 32 BJ. Press Here to Read
Now these same officers are in jeopardy of losing their jobs as SEIU 32 BJ puts pressure on the DC Council and it's DC Mayor Adrian Fenty to remove these contractors in their attempt we believe to bring in a friendlier contractor willing to recognize SEIU 32 BJ as their collective bargaining agent without a NLRB vote or certification. Both the FCGOA and former UGSOA Watkins Security officers are calling for an investigation by both the Department of Labor and Washington D.C. Attorney General Peter Nickles to investigate this matter.
UGSOA Local 80 in Washington D.C. is also having its troubles as UGSOA President Desiree Sullivan has placed this local under trusteeship. The Department of Labor has already started an investigation of this trusteeship and UGSOA Local 80 finances.
On July 29th 2010 UGSOA Vice President and Director of the Fed Division Michael Hough resigned from UGSOA citing he had no longer any confidence in the leadership of UGSOA President Desiree Sullivan or UGSOA. Michael Hough is now working for the SPFPA as their Western Regional Director. Press Here to see letter

Letters of Support
To: Officers, MVM Ice/FPS contract
From: Officer Gogniat
Subject: Response to UGSOA Letter dated July 27, 2010
Date: July 30, 2010
Ms Desiree Sullivan's, President UGSOA perspectives of Mr. Harsleys achievements are in error!
Ms. Sullivan believes that UGSOA local # 44 President Mr. Harsley has collected and/or accumulated, through bargaining, some enormous amount of money for us over the past 12-13 years. Actually he has negotiated our salaries downward more than 20 % below the market of other security contracts in the Washington, DC Metro area that covered the same period of time. Mr. Harsley accomplished this by informing us at each and every Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) negotiation time that this is the best he could do for us and that we needed to accept his conclusion so that we would at least have a new CBA Contract in hand before the new federal contract was awarded to a perspective vendor.
By voting in the new perspective Federal Contract Guards of America (FCGOA) Union, our dues will be less than the amount charged by UGSOA for the past 12-13 years for having accomplished nothing. They have given us only headaches and misery when trying to deal with incompetence and inequities in our expectations to have them support us in an honest and professional manner.
All international unions train their perspective union heads, local executive boards, and shop stewards. Training is not only unique to UGSOA as Ms. Sullivan implies.
Mr. Harsley's 12-13 years of serving our membership under local # 44 as president has been pure hell. He has abused his power and authority, misused his position, and undercut our benefits with his manipulations by telling un-truths in order to accomplish his goals by deceiving the officers into accept his untruths. It's time to replace Mr. Harsley, UGSOA Local # 44 and UGSOA international with a new and more progressive, honest, user friendly, officer oriented organization that serves the union membership needs, not their own needs, wants and desires.
The grievance process, proceedings and methods that Mr. Harsley has used to fulfill, and accomplish our needs and objectives have been misused and distorted to support the corporation more than the offices. When grievances are filed and the findings support the officers positions, and a request is made to forward a grievance to the next level, the local executive board votes and declares the grievance unworthy of their time, and spending of additional funds to process it further, in favor of the company and against the officers. Mr. Harsley has hurt officers benefits causing officers to lose money for 4 hours additional holiday pay, and overtime pay for all hours worked over 8 hours in 1 day by cancelling the arbitration meeting that was to take place this past June, 2010 with MVM Inc in order to settle this disagreement and grievance with them. Mr. Harsley said that he wasn't prepared or ready to go to arbitration at that time. This was another favor for the company against the membership security officers by Mr. Harsley.
Mr. Harsley still continues to inform security officers who fail the firearms training course that they do not qualify for unemployment compensation after failing the range, as MVM Inc has advised him. Mr. Harsley reinforces the company policy onto the offices so that they do not file for unemployment benefits after being laid off. There are many other issues, however, we need to help and support the security officers on the FPS/MVM Inc. Ice Contract.
We need a new environment and union to accomplish this, and I believe and support The Federal Contract Guards of America (FCGOA), Mr. Guy James and company, to be the best selection for us to accomplish our goals and objectives.

Subject: To: Local 44 Membership and Non-membership
TO: UGSOA Local 44 Membership
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
As an outsider looking in, I was new to most of what's happening or happened with local #44. I constantly heard complaints about Local 44 but so what! Everybody complains about everything I said. There's no perfect world. Then I started really paying attention to what was being complained about. A union that wasn't stepping up to the plate for the members. I saw decent men and women dismissed from their jobs with MVM, Inc. as building guards because they couldn't pass pistol qualification on a course that is designed for soldiers going to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Then there came a point when MVM Management attempted to soften things to the betterment of the Guards/PSO's who failed the range and were fired. They were willing to let them maintain their seniority and the union said NO. What makes a union so despised, want to press on after making one capricious decision after another. WE DON'T WANT YOU, PERIOD! One job saved means everything. Many of the problems we've encountered could've been circumvented through common sense negotiations.
A good union must know how to negotiate when things are not necessarily in our favor and this local lacks those skills. Name calling and fits of rage have no place as it applies to us putting forth meaningful efforts to get changes for the better.
Sometimes you just don't know and that's not a crime as long as you don't know that you don't know, but when you don't know and know that you don't know, THAT'S FRAUD! Don't be fooled by International Stats that have been publicized. Ask local 44 what cases right here within our local, all these great lawyers have represented our guards on. The general attitude of our union leaders are one of "They don't come to the meetings so to hell with them!" Meeting are important, but so is ones dedication to the office he's been appointed to up-hold. It's time for change. God Bless America.

Subject: RESPECT
Dear Guy F. James,
Today I noticed instant respect, compliments of Lt. L. Cardoza, in reference to allowing me to take a sick day. He only asked, upon revealing to him it might be due to food poisoning, what food I might have ingested to cause the incident. He then agreed I take the time off. No hassle what so ever. Not to worry I have safe guarded my issues via email.
This is the kind of respect I feel that not only I, but all members of FCGOA should receive on a continuous basis, unless member abuse is more than evident, therefore we manage the situation ourselves prior to being in favor of management. Finally, the day has come.
I received a complaint from a fellow co-worker Amanda Salinas, that after advising Lt. L. Cardoza, she contracted Strep throat and feared spreading the air-borne disease at work, he still forced her to work the post without regards to the gov. employees, federal contract employees, or the general public. This is unjust, unprofessional, and needs to be corrected.
If you decide, that I, Jason Gonzalez, has what it takes to run shop steward position. I give you my honest to god word that no grievance will be presented without merit, nor direct proof of unprofesionalism shown towards members and non-members alike. None the less will be adamant in enforcing rules and regulations as come to be expected of any members, by the Company, FPS, or Client to avoid such problems. In any case, the issue will be immediately brought to your attention, and actions taken will be not without your knowledge or consent.
Again this new found sudden respect is flattering at best, but I will not rest till every member of FCGOA receives the same. Unlike my adversaries in the UGSOA Local 218, I wish to spread respect to all members evenly, for they are the sole reason we exist. I strongly believe once neighboring unions catch wind of our attributive actions in the name of our members they will surely follow and wish to recruit FCGOA as their representative, thus making us, sooner or later the core union to deal with, once congress or senate decides to federalize us. I strongly believe that day will come and when it does we should, by then, have the majority of federal contract security officers in our favor, putting FCGOA as the newly FCGOA (Federal Guards of America). Dream Big.
I recently commended you on your actions in the recent hearings involving NLRB resulting in our favor. I wish to retract my commendations for the re-assertion of another, not only did you manage to gain favor of NLRB hearing agent, but forced recognition of Michael P. Hough upon himself, as incompetent and unable to resist following the foot steps of his predecessor, James Carney.
I look forward to making history in your legacy, sir. Again on behalf of everyone, thank you.

Press Here to Read The UGSOA Local Union Letter
Michael Hough's Thoughts about UGSOA. "For The Record, under Sullivan's lack of experience and leadership, the UGSOA is in total chaos and losing major revenue. Sullivan's record of backroom deals, lack of service to members, firing of loyal office employees and recent nepotism made it clear to me as a member of their Board that the UGSOA would not survive and that it was time to leave".
" I feel that the organization (UGSOA) has Lost Focus on its Purpose".

Former UGSOA Representative Ryszard Zurek
Congrats to FCGOA!
I have stated many times and will continue that Ms. Sullivan is "NOT" suited for the position she currently holds and should have never been put in that position. Mr. Carney has doomed her to failure! Her lack of educatio...n, work experience, business background, and work ethic will cause the demise of UGSOA.
The perception that UGSOA has lost its focus is not exclusive to Mr. Hough, as he has stated in his resignation letter, but to most UGSOA office staff and members of UGSOA. The office staff will not come forward because they fear they will lose their jobs. Ms. Sullivan's track record for firing personnel will support this claim.
Mike, Congratulations! Sometimes we all have to make a decision for ourselves and our families. UGSOA does not appear to understand this. This was why I was terminated because I made a statement relative to the fact that should I become "lai...d-off" I may have to go to another Union such as SEIU or SPFPA so that I may continuing payi...ng my bills and taking care of my family.

UGSOA Local 80 Trusteeship Letter
UGSOA Local 80 WSI Letter
Email From Levet Brown
The UGSOA International Refuses To adhere to the Members Request to Stop UGSOA Local 80' s Request to halt an internal Election at this time.
A Petition was Filed by 106 UGSOA Local 80 Court Security Officers CSO's.
From: "Donna Huff"
Date: August 3, 2010 15:31:24 EDT
Subject: Update for Local 80
The International received a petition from Levet Brown trying to stop the current election process from going forward. However, there was not a majority of members in good standing (dues payers) who signed the petition (total of 106 signed, 39 confirmed dues payers, 34 confirmed not dues payers and 28 not legible enough to identify), thus we are going forward. Ron Mikell and Levet Brown are trying very hard to disrupt the Local for their own benefit. First, Ron Mikell, was once the president of a UGSOA Local and he was removed FOR CAUSE, by his own admission. Ron led his local into Trusteeship not once, but twice. He used union funds for his own benefit and later was forced to return the money. Ron Mikell has been banned from UGSOA for the last five years and has only become eligible to join UGSOA as of July 1, 2010. See attached settlement agreement. Ron is being used as a "salt" by a failing union that is funding the start up of yet another new union. It is not a coincidence that Ron Mikell shows up on the east coast working in not one, but two UGSOA Locals in Washington, DC. Ron was on the west coast when he was the president of UGSOA Local 38. Unions will sometime use a "salt" – a person that gets a job in a specific workplace with the intent of organizing that workplace. Legitimate unions may use this technique in organizing the unorganized, especially where the employer is very anti-union, however, this failing union and the new union they are funding is using this "salt" technique to RAID UGSOA Locals, not for your betterment, but for their own self interests. It is no secret that Ron Mikell hates UGSOA, we caught him and put him out of commission for awhile, but now he is there in your own backyard, seeking to destroy your bargaining unit. He has been key in the raid on UGSOA Local 44 by the new union that is being funded by the failing union. Levet Brown (previous treasurer for Local 80) saw the opportunity to jump on the bandwagon with Mikell, just so it would take the pressure off of him to explain how he has failed to keep the funds of UGSOA Local 80 up front and in compliance with Local 80's own By-Laws and Department of Labor and Internal Revenue Service laws and statutes. The Department of Labor is investigating the past Local officers of UGSOA Local 80 and we at the International are reviewing the copies of Local 80's records. See attached e-mail to Levet Brown.
The International will prepare a financial document, once we have finished reviewing the records. We did get copies of the invoices for attorney's fees and are reviewing them as well, and will report back to the members as to what the former officers were spending the local funds on. There is no evidence of missing funds, just mostly payments to Ava Ramey for union business, without any explanation of exactly what she was doing. All of the vouchers with her payments just stated, "___ hours at $____ for union business". It appears at first glance she collected the same hourly rate as the CSOs.
Nominations for Local 80 officers must be in by
Thursday, August 5, 2010.

U.S. Security failed tests in which inspectors were able to sneak weapons through checkpoints, reported The Washington Post on Sunday. "D.C. taxpayers pay U.S. Security more than $40 million dollars a year to protect our schools and city buildings," says SEIU 32BJ, "but the company is not making the grade. The Fenty Administration should put U.S. Security's contracts out to bid." The local represents 1,500 private security officers who safeguard District offices and educational institutions. In May, reported the Post, "U.S. Security Associates, based in Roswell, GA., had eight weapons violations and 12 other infractions that resulted in up to $3,560 in fines for the firm and its subcontractor, Watkins Security." With the company still the security contractor at more than 76 schools and municipal buildings, Local 32BJ is concerned that U.S. Security's actions threaten to undermine the union's work with "responsible security contractors and elected officials to raise industry standards and improve life for security officers in DC," says Jaime Contreras, 32BJ Capital Area Director. "DC taxpayers and our kids deserve reliable protection at our public buildings and schools." Click here to urge Fenty to take action. - Chris Garlock ----BUT BEFORE YOU DO READ BELOW

UC Davis gets a new Genome Center in Sac in collaboration with BGI

Translational Science Seminar – Dan Michael Cooper, M.D. – November 4, 2011, 2:00 PM – GBSF
Longevity epigenetic inheritance in C. elegans
Read the complete article via the theguardian by Ed Yong.
Photograph: PA
"Long-lived worms can transmit their extended lifespan to the next generation by passing on changes in the way their genes are used, rather than differences in DNA itself.
A study has shown that nematode worms can inherit a 'memory of longevity from their parents, even though their genome remains unchanged.
It is not clear if the same processes apply to humans, but Anne Brunet from Stanford University, who led the study, noted that some genes that affect the lifespan of nematodes were later found to influence human longevity too. 'In several cases, the worm has proved to be a good model for humans, who live 2,000 times longer,' she said…"
Cancer resistance to DNA damage-inducing treatments
Research led by UC Davis' Professor Wolf-Dietrich Heyer discovered how recombination reverses itself which enables cancer cells to become resistant to radiation and chemotherapy treatments.
"An international team of scientists led by UC Davis researchers has discovered that DNA repair in cancer cells is not a one-way street as previously believed. Their findings show instead that recombination, an important DNA repair process, has a self-correcting mechanism that allows DNA to make a virtual u-turn and start over.
The study's findings, which appear in the Oct. 23 online issue of the journal Nature, not only contribute new understanding to the field of basic cancer biology, but also have important implications for potentially improving the efficacy of cancer treatments.
'What we discovered is that the DNA repair pathway called recombination is able to reverse itself,' said Wolf-Dietrich Heyer, UC Davis professor of microbiology and of molecular and cellular biology and co-leader of Molecular Oncology at UC Davis Cancer Center. 'That makes it a very robust process, allowing cancer cells to deal with DNA damage in many different ways. This repair mechanism may have something to do with why some cancer cells become resistant to radiation and chemotherapy treatments that work by inducing DNA damage.'"

Four inch single cell amoebas
Where? In the depths of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of our world's oceans. These amoebas (Xenophyophores) were discovered by researchers at the Scripp's Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. Check them out in this brief clip. At this depth and pressure, these organisms are surviving in one of the most uninhabitable places on Earth.
Here's a close up of the Xenophyophores found in the Galapagos Rift:

Epigenetics: money and methylation
DNA may now carry a memory of your upbringing:
"Family living conditions in childhood are associated with significant effects in DNA that persist well into middle age, according to new research by Canadian and British scientists.
The team, based at McGill University in Montreal, University of British Columbia in Vancouver and the UCL Institute of Child Health in London looked for gene methylation associated with social and economic factors in early life. They found clear differences in gene methylation between those brought up in families with very high and very low standards of living. More than twice as many methylation differences were associated with the combined effect of the wealth, housing conditions and occupation of parents (that is, early upbringing) than were associated with the current socio-economic circumstances in adulthood. (1252 differences as opposed to 545)…"

I ordered some 1.5 coil spring steel traps from cabelas and planning on trying them out whenever i get home, I will be tryin my hand at coons mostly and would like to catch a fox if possible. Can some of you give me some techniques on what works for you as far as the best spots to set them and how to set them up once youve found a good spot and all that good stuff. My sets will be mainly land sets and the occasional water set. Also is there anything that needs to be done to the traps prior to setting them out? They looked like they were silver in color on the internet, is that gonna be a problem as far as concealment goes? Sorry for all the questions just want to make sure that im doing everything right.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations and advice that may be givin.

After having a huge lunch a J & B Seafood Restaurant, we strolled the streets. Ella really wanted an Asian paper umbrella. This confused our friend and tour guide Meggie.
"What are you going to do with that?" she said, "I'll show you where I used to go shopping when I was a kid. You'll love it."
She directed us down the escalators in The Elizabeth Center Gift Shops. The upstairs of this shopping center features doctor's office and cosmetic stores, but the downstairs is filled with small stores filled with oddities and trinkets. Meggie said this is where students of all ages hang out after school. Her parents used to give her a few dollars and she would roam in and out of the shops, searching the bins for small hair bows, notebooks, pens, and (my favorite) erasers. It took me a few minutes to get a grasp of the stores.
At first glimpse everything looked straight out of the dollar store. But watching Ella jump from bin to bin, digging her hands in the baskets, trying on bows, I could see how a kid would find these stores magical. Everything cost around $1-$3. We spent around $10 and had a bag full of pencils, erasers and bows to bring home. It delighted Ella to no end.
Elizabeth Center Gift Shops to experience an everyday joy for a kid growing up in Chinatown. Next up, one of my joys: Ice Cream!
Her one rule was that we were NOT allowed to get typical ice cream flavors like chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. We had to get flavors unique to Chinatown. She limited us to five options: Black Sesame, Red Bean, Taro, Lychee, and Green Tea. I didn't see Avocado, Wasabi, Zen Butter or Ginger flavored ice cream when we were there, but I'm sure she would approve of those flavors too if I asked. Check out the complete menu here.
I got two scoops! Black Sesame and Red Bean. How those flavors made for a perfect ice cream combo is beyond my understanding, but it was delicious! Ella got Taro and Lychee. She loved it too. Imagine ordering Oreo Cookie or Mint Chip at a place like this? I very well might have if it weren't for Meggie pushing me to try new things.
As if we hadn't eaten enough, after we finished our ice cream, Meggie disappear for a second on the corner of Mott and Canal St. She came back with a small white bag filled with tiny warm cakes. I popped one in my mouth and enjoyed it's slight sweetness. She said the woman's recipe is a guarded secret. Meggie told me about another food cart that made even better cakes down the block. The line for cakes would be endless. Then one day, the woman disappeared. No one has heard from her since and the recipe is gone forever! I wonder what happened?! Spooky.
|I'm putting a pic of the cart for reference :)
Probably one of my favorite things we did was go to a typical grocery store called New York Mart. I loved seeing all the everyday items. Not a single jar of spaghetti sauce or box of mac and cheese in the whole store. I really felt like I had traveled to China. Meggie started filling my basket up with her favorite foods (treats she had growing up, her favorite frozen meals and sauces). She helped Ella pick out chopsticks. Meggie pointed out the things that even looked disgusting and bizarre to her.
Walking around the grocery store was the most untouristy part of the day. If you really want an authentic experience in Chinatown, go shopping in New York Mart. Before I went in, a woman wished me luck and warned me not to go in. I can't understand why, because it was a great experience! A little packed, but fine.
Next we took a minute to experience Columbus Park. It's worth checking out for sure!
And finally--as if we really hadn't already eaten enough, she took us to get some pork buns at Hop Shing Restaurant. Oh my. GO HERE! It will be your reward for reading this long post! Order roasted pork buns from the counter and eat them immediately. So good, so cheap. I brought a bunch home to the boys. The buns were just as good the next day. I have to go back for more.
Meggie told me Chinatown is all about the food and to truly experience Chinatown, be ready to eat! I couldn't agree with her more. As proof, I was holding a million red plastic bags filled with yummy food. Have you ever noticed all the red bags in Chinatown? Meggie told me she thinks the bags are red for good luck. Before leaving, I grabbed this dragon fruit and gained one more red plastic bag. I was feeling really lucky at this point.
Lucky to have met Meggie. Lucky to exsperience all the food. Lucky to live in such a wonderful city!
Now you know all of Meggie's favorite places to visit in Chinatown. What's yours?
After the jump: My least favorite food I ate in Chinatown. At least I tried it! The name alone gives me shivers.

For Release Sunday, November 18, 2012
© 2012 Washington Post Writers Group
Hurricane Sandy delivered New York, America's premier world city, a devastating blow. Literally millions of lives were affected. Damage estimates for the city and its environs – exclusive of New Jersey and Connecticut – run as high as $18 billion.
Sandy's horrific destruction confirms beyond reasonable doubt that extreme weather events ¬– all coinciding with the forward march of climate change – will impact our coastlines throughout this century.
There are clear global response models. The Netherlands, responding to the North Sea tidal surge of 1953 that pushed water 18.5 feet above sea level and took 1,836 lives, has made storm protection a national security issue. The Dutch have constructed a complex series of levees. Included is a gateway of huge swinging steel arms, twice the size of the Eiffel Tower, to protect Rotterdam from storm surge.
Britain, defending its crown jewel city of London, has constructed a massive flood barrier on the Thames River. Venice is building a massive system of moveable barriers which will rise from the seabed to protect the city from high tides.
Assume similar protections constructed on the seaward sides of America's most exposed major metropolises – New York, Miami, Houston, New Orleans, Boston, San Francisco, Baltimore, the Tampa Bay and Virginia Beach areas and others. The costs would run into the tens and hundreds of billions.
But with rising global temperatures (both air and sea water), with huge and growing proportions of Americans choosing to live on our coastlines, usually in or near our major cities, is there really any other choice? And isn't it imperative to protect our overwhelmingly metro area-focused national economy?
Hurricane Sandy's blow on New York represented a direct hit on lower Manhattan and Wall Street – the epicenter of global finance, peopled with master financial planners. Yet here is an irony: "Wall Street," notes infrastructure expert Michael Likosky, "continues to build Chinese, Middle East and North African, Indian, and other nations' infrastructure and pipelines. It needs to do more at home."
With a national infrastructure bank of the type endorsed by President Obama and many top fiscal experts, there'd also be a strong spur to attract big financial capital pools now on the sidelines.
But Likosky offers a warning not to "silo," or consider as stand-alones, the massive sea walls and other engineering projects needed to protect cities and shorelines. He'd look for ways to integrate the new flood safeguards with major water supply and energy and transportation projects, fostering synergies and economies to maximize the resilience of cities and metropolitan regions.
And there's another wrinkle. In contrast to "hard" engineering, we need to examine the promising "soft" side to hurricane and storm resistance. By some estimates, coastal wetlands provide more than $2 billion a year in storm surge and flood protection along U.S. coastlines.
Yet careless development practices can trigger severe marsh erosion and collapse. A top example is the oil and gas industry's vast network of canals and pipelines that puncturing the Mississippi River delta, radically increasing storm vulnerability. Likewise, the East Coast's massive oyster reefs, once a natural sea wall for New York, were decimated by decades of city-discharged pollutants.
A top solution for us now, insists my New York developer friend Jonathan Rose, is "to recreate a wetlands barrier – the systems that protected our coasts for hundreds of thousands of years."
One New York study, in fact, suggests active steps to create an archipelago of islands and reefs to dampen storms currents. There's even a sliver of hope that water quality improvements begun after passage of the Clean Water Act could speed revival of the historic oyster reefs.
What's likely needed is a mix – big engineering projects such as sea barriers, but also a range of environmentally friendly "soft" solutions.
Sandy, however, is raising another troublesome issue: the future of intense building activity on our shorelines. The massive destruction Sandy inflicted on the Jersey Shore and Long Island, Rose notes, underscores the folly of building and rebuilding on vulnerable outer reefs and other exposed locations.
State laws forcing carriers to keep insuring such exposed properties, as well as the availability of federal storm insurance, foster building in highly vulnerable areas. Some 40 percent of federal claims go to 2 percent of properties that were repeatedly flooded.
An added factor, Rose observes: the enormous stresses that serious storms place on oceanside fire and police and road systems, as well as public utilities.
Do we want to keep tolerating – and insuring – rampant coastal development? Should post-storm claim awards only be usable for development in safer spots? Those are tough next questions for public debate.

Healthcare Communication Strategies

Discuss how you handled a communication experience that led to a conflict. What created the conflict?
When my son was in 6th grade, he told me that his teacher wouldn't let him run for student council. I was livid and . . .
Please post "Go on" and I'll complete this experience and tell you how I handled it.
"Go on"
Thanks for responding. We get a lot of posts where we think the poster doesn't come back to see our answers.
I called the teacher in charge of the student council. After she looked into the situation, she called me and told me that the kids hadn't nominated my son. Both the student council teacher and I had been so sure that Bob would be the treasurer that year, that he couldn't bear to face me with the real facts. I waited several weeks before I talked with him about this lie. He admitted it and explained.
Thank goodness I didn't call his sixth grade teacher and ream her out!
Moral of the story -- make sure you have all of the facts before jumping to conclusions.

2002 and 2003 side mirror plug configuation
I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado with power and heated side mirrors. I want to put on a set of power and heated towing mirrors. I would like to get the kind that have the built in turn signal like on the 2003 to 2006 models. The rep from Kool Vue Discount Mirrors says the plugs are the same and I would just have to add the turn signal wire. Has anybody worked with both style mirrors to know if they will plug right in? The 2002 mirror has one plug, the 2003 mirror has 2 plugs. Could be the mirror plug is the same and the other plug is for the signal.
Thanks for the help

I am not kind to my hostasPin It
There are some plants that are picky about being moved. Take poppies...have I ever properly been able to transplant one?? NOPE. Luckily, there are plants that almost seem to like being battered and broken and slung into the ground. One of those plants is the ubiquitous hosta.
|Hosta :: Guacamole
So anyway, back to dividing. For small hostas, you simply wait until there is a good rain and then grab the hosta by the base and gently pull it from the ground. If it is large, you will need a good shovel. If you want to completely move the hosta, go around the plant with the shovel cutting the roots and then dig the whole shebang out of the ground. If you want to simply take a piece, you can drive the shovel straight through the crown of the plant, take off a piece, pile some soil up around the original plant and you are good to go.
If you have a whole plant, you can usually just pull the pieces off. The hosta will almost fall apart where it is ready to divide (kind of like brisket after 10 hours in the crock pot). Dig a hole for each plant (or just use your hands and scoop away a chunk of soil), place (plop) the plant in and press down gently, but firmly around the edges of the soil to finish. Basically, just throw it in the ground. It will grow.
Many times I even end up breaking a bunch of leaves, especially on large specimens like this 'Sum and Substance', The poor plant looks tortured. He will be ok though. IN fact, this photo was taken 2 or 3 days ago. Today, there is quite a bit of leaf growth. By 2 weeks out, the plant will be back to his former glory.
Here are sections of a hosta. The first is the leaf and a little bit of crown (the whitish/purplish part at the bottom). The second is a clump of roots that fell away from the plant when I was dicing it. I planted both. The leave went about 2" deep into the ground. The roots were buried about 2" under the surface. I am about 90% certain both will grow.

Simple Import/Plot Question
I'm on the bottom of the Mathematica 3.0 learning curve and need to
perform an insanely simple task that is a breeze in other packages.
I need to import ascii data from a text file. The ascii data is in a
matrix form such that the data in the first column is (for example)
"Time", the data in the second column could be the temperature at
location 1 at the time indicated by the position of the row, and
Column 3 is the temperature at location 2 also at the time indicated
by its row. . . . etc.
In other words, if the first value of the first column is zero, then
the first value of the second column is the temperature at time zero
etc. In this way, all values on a given row share the same Time value
(very similar to how you would construct a spreadsheet).
I need to import this data into mathematica and maintain the
"columnized" format of the data by assigning a name to each individual
column. Then I need to plot Column 1 vs Column 2, Column 1 vs Column
3 and Column 2 vs Column 3.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
I've tried ReadList but I don't see how to tell it that I'm talking
about distinct column vectors.
Thanks in advance

Hobby Lobby
All FDA-approved methods of birth control are considered preventive care, and the health law requires nearly all health plans sold on the individual and group markets to cover preventive care without any out-of-pocket cost to consumers. The Supreme Court decision didn't change that. Continue reading
Worker-ownership adviser Christopher Mackin sees the American workplace lagging behind our political democracy, where "one person, one vote" is the law of the land. But he's hopeful that anger about the Supreme Court's recent Hobby Lobby decision will fuel a wider appetite for democratic ownership and management of American companies. Continue reading
The Supreme Court temporarily exempted a religious college from the contraception coverage provisions of the Affordable Care Act. The decision, which comes just days after a ruling in favor of some businesses objecting to provide birth control, has provoked sharp rebuke from the court's three female justices. Judy Woodruff gets the details from Marcia Coyle of The National Law Journal. Continue reading
Recent data from the IMS Institute document a sharp change during 2013. The share of privately insured women who got their birth control pills without a copayment jumped to 56 percent, from 14 percent in 2012. The law's requirement that most health plans cover birth control as prevention, at no additional cost to women, took full effect in 2013. Continue reading
While the Supreme Court united on cases concerning presidential appointments and mobile phone searches, there was stark division on issues like campaign finance, contraception and religion. Jeffrey Brown looks back at the big decisions at the court this year with Marcia Coyle of The National Law Journal, Constitutional lawyer Erin Murphy and former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal. Continue reading
More than half the states have "contraceptive equity" laws on the books that require most employers whose health insurance covers prescription drugs to also cover FDA-approved contraceptives as part of that package. Unlike the ACA, those laws do not require that coverage to be available without deductibles or co-pays. Continue reading
The Supreme Court ruled that family-owned corporations with religious objections are not required to pay for the contraceptive coverage of employees or their dependents. Marcia Coyle of The National Law Journal offers background on the case and Judy Woodruff gets debate on the potential fallout from Elizabeth Wydra of the Constitutional Accountability Center and attorney Kevin Baine. Continue reading
There is no question that Monday's Hobby Lobby Supreme Court decision is a blow to the Obama administration and the Affordable Care Act. But while conservatives celebrate the narrow 5-4 decision striking down the law's contraception mandate for "closely held" companies with owners who have religious objections, the ruling could ironically help Democrats fire up a key part of their base.
