Our latest addition to our TCM line of products: a multi-layered TCM
membrane with a flat black reinforced bottom membrane that can be
stapled up without worry of it falling down over time like other radiant
barriers that are not reinforced.

Thermal Control Membrane is a multi-layered, thin film material that is very effective at controlling heat flow.. This means infrared heat, the most basic type of heat, changes direction and goes back where it came from. We then suggest our German attic fan to exhaust this rejected heat.
TCM is a proven approach at increasing comfort and reducing energy consumption. Click here for a recent testimonial and installation pictures

TCM is the only reflective insulation (radiant barrier), that is impervious to
performance degradation due to the accumulation of dust and also the only
reflective insulation product that has a lifetime performance warranty. Make
sure the product you are about to purchase has some kind of performance
warranty. Dust is the Achilles Heel for radiant barrier products except TCM.

Much more effective and efficient that fiberglass batt products in both winter and summer applications. Why? Here's the question: Given the choice, would you rather resist (r factor), the movement of heat or change the direction of heat? That's the primary difference between how insulation works and the effects of TCM.

Our home was hard to cool, the heat pump ran continuously during triple digit days and the house was always uncomfortable. While shopping for a new heat pump, every contractor we talked to suggested increasing the capacity from a 3 ton to a 3.5 ton. That was until we got a quote from Horizon Energy Systems. They suggested going to a smaller unit (2.5 ton), and installing Thermal Control Membrane in the attic with a German fan exhauster. This energy package was a bit more expensive than our highest bid but it made sense.
We had this work done and our home is now more comfortable (winter and summer), the unit stays off longer than it runs and our APS bill has dropped by 50% from last year as shown on our bill! One reason is being able to take advantage of the off peak power as suggested by Horizon Energy Systems. If you are considering a new system this is the way to go. Obvious is the performance of the TCM6 as we now have a smaller unit and the house is much more comfortable.
We are really happy with the professional installation, follow up and support. On a ending note, I had installed a new thermostat which has a timer on it. I wired it wrong and when it came time to use the heat only the fan would run.
With a measured outside temperature in the morning last week of 34F the house stayed at 68F USING NO HEAT for days on end. The Thermal Control Membrane in the attic is just an amazing product! We called Horizon to fix the thermostat and even though is was not related to the heat pump installation they re-wired at no charge! Thank you!

"What about dust?" Good question. Only the reflective attic insulation products from Horizon Energy Systems has multiple layers with air spaces in between each layer. This is where the performance comes from and why our products are more expensive that other reflective insulation products. This is also why our products do not degrade in performance over time because of dust accumulation. More information on how dust affects reflective insulation click here.

Belding's Caitlin Alkire to play softball at Sewanee
BELDING — Yet another Belding player is heading off to play college ball somewhere.
This time it's softball player Caitlin Alkire, who will be playing for Sewanee, the University of the South, next season.
Alkire was really sold on going to the Division 3 school located between Chattanooga and Nashville, Tenn.
"I just really liked the campus and the area that is around there," Alkire said. "It's a beautiful place. I really love the coach so I decided that was the best fit."
Sewanee wasn't the only college trying to recruit her. Calvin College also wanted Alkire.
"Part of it was the financial. Sewanee was cheaper," Alkire said. "The other part was I really love the area. I've always wanted to move south. It's more like home."
Alkire isn't sure what type of a role she will play for the Tigers.
"The coach seems pretty intent to play me a lot," Alkire said of coach Amber Gillam. "She's excited to have me come down. I'm just going to go down there, work hard, try my best and what happens happens."
Gillam is looking forward to having Alkire there.
"I am thrilled to have Caitlin join our softball team as a member of the class of 2017," Gillam said. "She has been a joy to recruit and will be a fantastic addition to our growing program. Caitlin's accomplishments and abilities combined with her work ethic will prove to be the ideal foundation of her continued career."
Alkire's current coach, Belding coach Mikayla Linebaugh, was happy to see Alkire get a chance to play in college.
"I'm very excited for her (Alkire)," Linebaugh said. "I think it's an exciting thing to move south and go to college and on top of it playing softball is just awesome for her."
Linebaugh believes Alkire's work will help the Tigers.
"I don't know a lot about that school and their program," she said. "But Caitlin works hard and I'm sure she's going to fit in just great."
Alkire will be joining a team that was 5-29 this past spring, including a 24-game losing streak to end the season. 22 of the 24 were in the Southern Athletic Association, Sewanee's conference.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan (Hindi)
Genre: Romance
Director: Yash Chopra
Cast: Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Anupam Kher
Storyline: A bomb disposal expert teases death after his lover makes a deal with God to keep him alive and a documentary filmmaker becomes obsessed with this story of the man who cannot die.
Bottomline: The film that cannot end.
Every generation has a love story to tell. One that reflects the angst and conflicts of their times. And the master of romance, Yash Chopra has explored most of these barriers, some way ahead of his time.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan, though not written by him (the story and dialogues are by his son Aditya Chopra and the screenplay is credited to Aditya Chopra and Devika Bhagat), tells us the story of a generation that has lost faith. Not in God. But in love.
Given that nothing lasts forever, a die-hard romantic is an anachronism in today's world. Samar Anand is probably among the last few avatars of Shah Rukh Khan's lover boy persona. Today, he has retired hurt from love, and waits for an elusive death (as a bomb-disposal expert). He's forsaken his world and taken up a life of solitude until he finds a young spirited girl who makes him smile again. Despite its three-hour running length and ridiculous plot twists that are better interpreted metaphorically than literally, Jab Tak Hai Jaan works in mysterious ways. If you are a fan of the Bollywood romance genre, you may end up liking it for the same inexplicable reasons you liked Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
The film is divided into two acts — the cause of his condition (he cannot die) and the effect. The first is where a spunky, competitive, rejection-allergic girl Akira (a loveable Anushka goes annoyingly over the top) from today's terribly described "instant make-out, instant break-up" generation comes across a love story from the diary of the bomb expert.
Poor musician Samar (Shah Rukh, more effective and charming as the stubbly soldier than the young lover) falls in love with spoilt, rich brat Meera (Katrina is mostly convincing). He teaches her Punjabi, she teaches him English. He shows her who she really is only to fall in love with her and she falls right back in love, except that she's about to get married. But just in time, fate introduces her to her mother — who left her father because she never loved him. And we get a glimpse of a previous generation that had chosen the arrangement of a marriage over love only to later realise that to make others around you happy, you need to be happy.
The first act manufactures nostalgia and you look back at how love has evolved in India. Lovers who gave up on love and lived in denial, out of their respect for elders. Lovers who eloped only to live miserably, without the love of family. Lovers who died alone…
Until Aditya Chopra struck gold when he decided to manufacture consent for romance by negotiating with the previous generation with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. With no more conflict, love stories in cinema needed a new villain and context. What better villain than God Himself? Faith in Him versus Faith in love.
In the second act, the Chopras in their attempt to make this love story all the more epic, rope in the services of Jesus Christ who decides to have a little fun with this triangle — the lover, the ex and the next. He puts them in different continents, engineers accidents, toys with memory and defuses the tension, giving the star-crossed lovers the ultimate test of love.
But strip down the metaphors and deconstruct the divine "accidents," this is essentially the love story of this generation. We live in a world of broken relationships where almost everyone has a past. And there's always the one waiting in the wings. Today's love stories are about unresolved issues that heal only with time. Nothing lasts forever, except in the old world. Jab Tak Hai Jaan is the kind of film Bollywood stopped making. The kind we almost began to miss. Probably the last time we will see Shah Rukh Khan wooing a girl with a guitar. Or at least hope. Please, Sir Jesus!

Man Gets Deterrent Sentence for Hacking MSN
An individual was accused for stealing identities of several women on Instant Messaging and for even blackmailing one. The man aged 24 years was sentenced to 27 months of incarceration on January 15, 2007.
Song Yick Biau was a lonely man incapable of adjusting socially. So, he probably sought the help of Internet where he disguised as different persons to win friends. But he applied a tactic too far and was accused of ten charges - nine for violating the Computer Misuse Act and one for committing criminal offense.
In November 2005 Song came to know about a program that helped him to gain access to another person's PC by duping him. Song would chat with such people and in the meantime send them the program. If any of them clicked on it, a fraudulent MSN login would appear on the screen.
As soon as the targeted person entered his username and password, an error message flashed. Song would troubleshoot and eventually get access to the person's identity. This simple tactic worked that even surprised Song. He would now change the password so that the person could not access his account. Then he would take up the victim's identity to chat with people on the person's address list.
Song also manipulated images of some of the women by pasting their heads on nude bodies. Once he blackmailed to expose the picture of one victim if she did not send naked photos of her. The woman lodged a complaint with the police.
On January 8, 2007 Song pleaded guilty at the Subordinate Court. His lawyer trying to defend him said that Song had started it all as an experiment that ended up giving 'cheap thrills'. According to the lawyer's mitigation plea when Song learnt of the software he thought no one would be duped enough to try an unknown program and respond by sending him their data.
The prosecution stressed for a prison sentence arguing that it was necessary to tell everyone that no next person could do what Song had done. Thus Justice Liew Thiam Leng passed the deterrent sentence on January 15, 2007.

Old silly men needs to stfu about a womans right to choose!
Since: Oct 08

#49 Jan 28, 2013
Really Red, so you believe it is only the woman's right to choose??? You believe in Partial birth abortions, where the child is almost born, but is a girl, so it is aborted? Where do they stop Red, Do we abort Black children because they are Black or whites because they are white or Mexican because they look mexican??? Where do YOU draw the line on a "woman's right" to choose??
#50 Jan 28, 2013

And, be sure your kids NEVER attend a soccer game or go to a night club. They could end up burned or trampled to death, by a larger percentage than if they spend the night in the home of legal, responsible gun owners.

#60 Jan 28, 2013
Let's ???
Sure, you have a point, but it's simply you need to insult folks anonymously, to feel like you're a man, when you're not.
If you were, you'd understand, gun nutcases, like you=THE PROBLEM !
#61 Jan 28, 2013
Who said I was insulting you?
Don't you support gun control?
Or you just a innocent school children hating gun lover?
I'm trying to help a fellow progressives cause by doing what is right.
If I cant get your support of the most partisan progressives....
Where do I turn?
Now lets do the right thing slew.
Help me get these signs out.
You round up guns or 49.99 in seperate envelopes for me.
Then send it to me and I will send you signs.

#62 Jan 28, 2013
Isn't this amusing, watching the "respect" you actually have for intelligent discussions ??? Of course, you're not intelligent and merely want to pretend you're not the problem, when you CLEARLY are, just like drunken con/crass et al....
Pretty cute, pretending you make my choices, gotta be frustrating, being a powerless loser, huh ???
Keep up the childish analogies, they show YOUR childish "mind" being wasted

You forgot the one about the he/she from Seattle who bought guns from "friends" without any ID or background check. Wonder if he/she has brought them to one of the many buy back programs that are in place so as not to appear a hypocrite.
#64 Jan 28, 2013
Looks like you have no friends, who know you...
Sad... Too bad, you obsess on me, but since you cantgetitup...
perhaps women are a painful reminder ??
#65 Jan 28, 2013
I like trollish liars.... Poor obsessive guys, who need to define reality, are like the little kids who complain the bullies are picking on them when they want to pitch or Qb the school team, but don't have the talent..
Recognize your shortcomings and quit blaming the messenger...
Of course, blame is the teabbager attractant.
#66 Jan 28, 2013
Just to clarify what your stance is, as long as you buy from friends who know you; there should be no background check or registration?
#67 Jan 28, 2013
So you don't blame Bush or guns?
#68 Jan 28, 2013
Why will I buy more guns, again ??? As for clarifying my stance, ask cantgetitup, he seems to know all you need....
#69 Jan 28, 2013
Only person lieing is you to yourself.
Your ignorance is limitless.
your stupidity is infinite.
Your posts only ring in your head.
No one takes what you say seriously.
Cause you have no motive for your partisan ramblings.
You have no cause.
You don't even know why you post.
You are running in a hamster wheel doing what you think you should be doing as a so called progressive but dont know why?
Do you know why you post everyday?
Its not because you want to convince others. Or change the mind of a reader.
You don't know why you do what you do.
Therefore you are just a tool.
A dull one at that.
You are nothing but a biproduct of our duopoly political system.
A waste product that failed to properly flush.
You are nothing more than an accident.
Too stupid to contribute to society....
But just dumb enough to understand rhetoric....
Society has no purpose for you.
Elites don't see you as an asset. You are not a herder.
You are a wanna be herder that doesn't understand the farm.
Do you know WHY you still post the same rhetoric over over...day after day..?
I don't think you do.
You don't know why you are running in the hamster wheel.
Its all you know.
Too bad its all you will ever know.
Your ignorance is limitless
your stupidity is infinite.
You are a tool that doesn't know why you are a tool.

Iraq and Iran form alliance within OpecIran and Iraq are forming a strengthening alliance insideOpec, raising concerns among moderate Arab Gulf producers like Saudi Arabia and increasing the potential for discord in the oil producers' group.Withthe EU sovereign debt crisis worsening and growing fears for the global economy, the deep divisions within Opec risk undermining the organisation's ability to do its job of effectively managing oil supply and preventing violent price swings.High quality global journalism requires investment.
A person familiar with the matter said Opec's meeting in Vienna on Thursday was overshadowed by "strong disagreements" over issues ranging from the acceptable price of oil, to the global supply-demand balance, to who should replace the current secretary general of the organisation.High quality global journalism requires investment.
A particular bone of contention was a proposal by Venezuela – backed by other Opec hardliners like Iran, Iraq and Algeria – that the group should protest against the EU sanctions against Tehran over its nuclear programme. The move was rebuffed by Saudi Arabia and other moderates including Nigeria, Libya and Kuwait, who argued that such protests were the preserve of foreign ministers, not oil ministers.High quality global journalism requires investment.

It is important to note that this 1893 map is an Arabic map, so it can't be brushed aside as a misunderstanding of the Ottoman Empire or Western propaganda.
IQ al Rassooli, who emailed this map to the JawaReport, notes:...the area of Israel is called " Wilayat Soorya" meaning "Province of Syria." This land was under the domination of the Ottomans for almost 500 years and NO WHERE can one read the word Palestine or Palestinian on it.

Biden Says the 'Great' Cities Are in China, Not America"If I blindfolded Americans and took them into some of the airports or ports in China, and then took one of them to any of your cities in the middle of the night just so that they could see it,"Biden said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Student activists have wasted no time in taking advantage of the Universities and University Colleges Act (AUKU) 1971 amendments that allow them to engage in political activity.You can bet that the Malaysian government will be listening. Listening for anyone with unauthorized Islamophobic opinions.
The newly started Barisan Nasional Youth Volunteers (BNYV) movement is one such outlet, boasting over 400 members despite having been around for just over a month.
The brainchild of Umno Youth Chief Khairy Jamaluddin, the movement has members as young as 18 and from all ethnic groups and walks of life.
Izzati Aisyah Adnan, a 19-year-old law student, said that joining the movement was "the best choice I've ever made".
A team member, Izzati, said she had a passion for local governance that she was not allowed to express before the amendments were made.
"We can use BNYV to connect and bring our enthusiasm and unique perspectives to the table," she said late Friday night at a tweet-up.
Izzati and a crowd of other members had gathered at NZ Caf in Jalan Ampang for a a tweet-up with Khairy, who engaged with the crowd and answered questions for two hours.
"I'm doing this so we can see a new culture in BN, of your own initiative and intention," he told the rapt audience.
"I want to prove that the youth of this nation can make a difference."
BNYVs will engage in public campaigning, voter education workshops, social work, communications, and even hope to set up voter registration booths for unregistered voters.
25-year-old Loganesh Sivabalan joined to contribute to society.
"The government has done a lot for youths. We have so many energetic youngsters in Malaysia who are interested in politics, and some are influenced by the opposition," he said, criticising the Pakatan Rakyat-led state government for not stepping up to the plate during the recent PTPTN freeze on Selangor-owned university Unisel.
28-year-old Zaidel Baharuddin, who is BNYV's project coordinator, echoed this sentiment, saying that it was a platform for youths to have their political opinions heard.
"Unlike Pakatan Rakyat, we don't hijack the voice of the youth and claim to speak for them. We listen to you," he said.
The Egyptian Supreme Constitutional Court has just invalidated the parliamentary election there. The parliament, 75 percent of whose members were Islamists, is being dissolved. The military junta has taken over total authority. The presidential election is still scheduled for a few dozen hours from now.Go read the whole thing.
In short, everything is confused and everything is a mess. All calculations are thrown to the wind. What this appears to be is a new military coup. What is the underlying theme? The armed forces concluded that an Islamist takeover was so dangerous for Egypt and for its own interests that it is better to risk civil war, a bloodbath, and tremendous unpopularity than to remain passive and turn over power. I believe this decision was made very reluctantly and not out of some lust for power by the generals. They have decided that they had no choice.
Yes, it is under legal cover, but nobody is going to see it as a group of judges — appointed by former President Hosni Mubarak, remember — looking deep into the law books and coming up with a carefully reasoned decision based on precedent. In theory, this will be seen by every Islamist — whether Salafi or Muslim Brotherhood — and by most of the liberals — who feel closer to the Islamists than to the government — as if the 2011 revolution has just been reversed. In preparation, the army prepared a new regulation allowing itself arrest anyone.
Prediction: massive violence.
Still, there's something strange going on. So far, the Muslim Brotherhood and Salafists have not reacted so strongly. Is it that they were caught unawares, or want to keep quiet because they think they'll win the presidential election, or maybe there will be some kind of deal in which the Muslim Brotherhood backs down, most of the parliamentary members will be allowed to stay on, and the military will retain a lot of political power? Everything is up in the air? So far the Brotherhood doesn't seem so upset by the decision. Why is that?
With typical journalistic "neutrality," CNN's Ben Wedeman reported from Cairo: "Those who don't want to see a return to the oppression of the past … are very unhappy with this ruling." What about the people who don't want a radical Islamist regime and a Sharia state to become the oppression of the future?
(CfSP).Washington, DC, June 14, 2012: Five influential Members of Congress called yesterday for the inspectors general (IGs) of government departments with national security responsibilities to investigate whether their agencies are being subjected to influence operations mounted as part of what the Muslim Brotherhood calls its "civilization jihad."
This initiative holds out hope that a grave, and largely unremarked, threat may thus be recognized and thwarted in time.
The authors of letters sent to the IGs for the Departments of State, Justice, Defense and Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence are:
- Rep. Michele Bachman, a member of the House Intelligence Committee and Chairwoman of the House Tea Party Caucus
- Rep. Trent Franks, Chairman of the House Judiciary's Subcommittee on the Constitution a member of the House Armed Services Committee
- Rep. Louie Gohmert, Vice Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security
- Rep. Tom Rooney, Deputy Majority Whip and member of the House Armed Services Committee
- Rep. Lynn Westmoreland, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee's Oversight Subcommittee; andIn a joint press statement, each of these congressional leaders expressed profound concern about the dangers posed by the Muslim Brotherhood and the need to understand that threat here in the United States. What is more, they cited in their letters evidence of the penetration of Brotherhood operatives and allies inside the Obama administration, and examples of policies that appear to have been influenced as a result.The legislators explicitly draw upon documentation of that evidence contained in Parts 8 and 9 the Center for Security Policy's new, ten-part online video curriculum: The Muslim Brotherhood in America: The Enemy Within (www.MuslimBrotherhoodinAmerica.com).Center President Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. said:"These five key legislators are to be commended for their exemplary leadership on a matter of utmost peril to this country – namely, the stealthy effort being made by avowed enemies of this country, the Muslim Brotherhood, to destroy us 'from within.'Their request for the five inspectors general to conduct investigations of the Brotherhood's progress toward that end – and report back within ninety days – will hopefully be seconded by others in both parties and be swiftly addressed by the IGs, given their responsibility for conducting such independent inquiries within executive branch agencies.The Center for Security Policy's extensive research, and the online course that presents it, shows those inquiries are fully warranted and urgently needed – as are, for that matter, corresponding investigations by the Congress, as well."
"I always go to the White House prepared with questions for our president. I timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting the President of the United States. I know he rarely takes questions before walking away from the podium. When I asked the question as he finished his speech, he turned his back on the many reporters, and walked away while I and at least one other reporter asked questions."Wonder if Tingles or Madcow or Sgt Schultz would have gotten the same treatment?

President Obama will announce a new immigration policy this morning that will allow some undocumented students to avoid deportation and receive work authorization.Update:
Under the president's "deferred action" executive order, students in the U.S. who are already in deportation proceedings or those who qualify for the DREAM Act and have yet to come forward to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, will not be deported and will be allowed to work in the United States.
An estimated 1 million young people could benefit from the deferral. To be eligible, applicants have to be between 15 and 30 years old, live in the U.S. for five years, and maintain continuous U.S. residency. People who have one felony, one serious misdemeanor, or three minor misdemeanors will be ineligible to apply. "Deferred action" will last for two years and can be renewed.
Obama is expected to speak about this new policy later today.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration will stop deporting and begin granting work permits to younger illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The election-year initiative addresses a top priority of an influential Latino electorate that has been vocal in its opposition to administration deportation policies.
The policy change, described to The Associated Press by two senior administration officials, will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants who have lived in fear of deportation. It also bypasses Congress and partially achieves the goals of the so-called DREAM Act, a long-sought but never enacted plan to establish a path toward citizenship for young people who came to the United States illegally but who have attended college or served in the military.
Today, Mitch McConnell is going to speak at AEI (11:30 eastern, livestream here) and he gave Breitbart News a preview:
"This is a dangerous, radical administration," said McConnell.
"I'm going to lay out a long litany of abuses pursued by the Obama Administration and its allies against its political opponents," McConnell said. "It's reminiscent of the Nixon administration. It's much more pervasive than Clinton. They have their enemies list. They're checking it twice. They're going to go after those that have been naughty and not nice."More:
McConnell is incensed over the administration's use of government and nongovernmental resources to target its political enemies. "They've used the IRS, the FEC, the FCC, the SEC, their allies in the Obama campaign to go after people who disagree with them. The Obama campaign has rifled through the divorce records of a major donor to an opposing super PAC. The government itself is intimidating donors. Appointees at the IRS and other agencies are pursuing similar efforts to ferret out who is contributing to outside groups critical of the administration so that they can scare them off the playing field and shut them up."
Most frightening of all, says McConnell, is that David Axelrod, head of the president's re-election campaign and former White House honcho, has stated that "he wants to amend the First Amendment – the ultimate act of radicalism – to give to the federal government the ability to control the speech of American citizens who band together to pursue a political cause.
Sen. McConnell says that there is a "full-scale effort underway to intimidate and harass their opponents. It wouldn't surprise me if they're coordinating with outside left-wing groups to be supportive of their causes. That's their prerogative."

Michael Baroneis correct, Obama really needs to stop taking advice from wealthy, limousine liberals.If you were looking for advice on how tell a story that would impact millions upon millions of people, would you go to a director whose last four films were "War Horse," "The Adventures of Tintin," Indiana Jones 4," and "Munich?"Nope.But Team Obamadid, and what they got in return was a continuation of the ongoing Spielberg flop-streak:At DreamWorks Studios, Steven Spielberg spent three hours explaining how to capture an audience's attention and offered a number of ideas that will be rolled out before Election Day. An early example of Spielberg's influence is RomneyEconomics.com, a website designed by the Obama team to tell the story—a horror story, by their reckoning—of Mitt Romney's career at Bain Capital. Afterward, Spielberg insisted that Messina sit down with the DreamWorks marketing team. Hollywood movie studios are expert, as presidential campaigns also must be, at spending huge sums over a few weeks to reach and motivate millions of Americans.

Egypt's highest court on Thursdaydeclared the country's parliament invalidand cleared the way for a member of former President Hosni Mubarak's regime to run in a presidential election runoff this weekend.The Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that parliament must be dissolved, state TV reported. An Egyptian constitutional law expert told CNN that following the court's decision, a political decision would be made about whether to dissolve parliament.Following the ruling, Egypt's interim military rulers claimed to have full legislative control of government. Parliament had been in session for just over four months.The court had ruled that about one-third of Egypt's members of parliament were invalid because they ran as independents and later joined party blocs.
The court also ruled that Mubarak allyAhmed Shafiq is allowed to run for president in elections that begin on Saturday, invalidating a law that bars members of the ousted dictator's party from participating in political life.Incensed revolutionaries called the two decisions the death of Egypt's revolution, and declared the dissolution of parliament and Shafiq's participation in the landmark presidential vote the final steps in a military coup.Protesters clashed with security forces outside the courthouse minutes after the decisions were announced."This ruling means that the next president will work without institutions, he will face huge criticism and rage," said Sobhi Saleh, a leading lawmaker from the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party.
CAIRO — Egypt's Islamist-dominated parliament is likely to be suspended after a high court ruling Thursday that one-third of its lawmakers were elected unconstitutionally, officials said.
Local newspapers and Arabic television channels reported that Egypt's military rulers were going to take over legislative power in the country and planned to announce the dissolution of the lower house of parliament later Thursday.
The court also ruled that Mubarak ally Ahmed Shafiq is allowed to run for president in elections that begin on Saturday, invalidating a law that bars members of the ousted dictator's party from participating in political life.
Incensed revolutionaries called the two decisions the death of Egypt's revolution, and declared the dissolution of parliament and Shafiq's participation in the landmark presidential vote the final steps in a military coup.
Protesters clashed with security forces outside the courthouse minutes after the decisions were announced.
"This ruling means that the next president will work without institutions, he will face huge criticism and rage," said Sobhi Saleh, a leading lawmaker from the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice party.
Among Egypt's old guard, Saleh claimed, "there was outrage over the Islamic majority of the parliament. And there was a plan to destroy it."
The court said that political parties unlawfully fielded candidates for the one-third of seats in the lower house of parliament that were supposed to be set aside for independent candidates.
As a result, lawmakers elected to those seats likely will lose their posts. Maher Sami, a spokesman for the constitutional court, told reporters that the ruling effectively calls for the dissolution of the entire lower house of parliament.
"Both decisions empower the Mubarak status-quo, which is no surprise, as the judges of the court were appointed by the latter, and represent a part of the so-called 'deep-state,' " Omar Ashour, an Egypt expert at Exeter University, said in an e-mail.
Shafiq will compete for the presidency against Mohamed Morsi, a Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Morsi and his allies say Shafiq wants to return Egypt's government to the repressive tactics Mubarak favored. Shafiq, in turn, says a Morsi victory would transform Egypt into an ultra-conservative Islamic state.
The judges on the top court are Mubarak appointees and seen as sympathetic to the old order. That perception could fuel confrontations between protesters and security forces, who were recently given vast powers to detain civilians.
The lower house, known as the "people's assembly," is the most powerful part of the parliament. The Muslim Brotherhood, which controls just under half the seats in the lower house, stands to lose the most from the decision.
The question of Shafiq's eligibility to run for office centered on whether Shafiq ought to be subject to a recently passed law that bars senior members Mubarak's disbanded National Democratic Party from political life for 10 years.
The court ruled the law was unconstitutional.
Amr Darrag, another leading member of the Freedom and Justice Party, said his party would respect the judicial decision regarding Shafiq's fitness to run for office and would continue to strive to beat him at the ballot box.
"Our position was to do our best to legally isolate Ahmed Shafiq from the post of president," Darrag said. "If we can't do that then the people will isolate him with the vote."

President Barack Obama told a crowd of donors in Philadelphia on Tuesday that his "vision" for America "is more consistent with our history and those moments when we've been most successful as a country" than his opponent's, according to a transcript of his remarks.
Despite presiding over a crushing economic recession and historic levels of national debt, Obama maintained that he will uphold a "bargain": "If you work hard in this country regardless of what you look like, where you come from, what faith you hold, who you love, that you can make it if you try."
Obama said that he would ensure Americans are "doing their fair share, so that we're not just relying on cuts to programs for the vulnerable or for our kids." He also will ask "those of us who have been incredibly blessed to be born in this country, for us to give a little back and to think about the future."Quite frankly, boys, it sounds like this here Obama fella has invented a new thing. Let's call it, "Schmapitalism".

While the introduction of an Arab character might be welcomed as bringing more diversity, the portrayal of the new Green Lantern on the cover of Green Lantern #0 is generating quite a bit of controversy. If the character is an Arab, many fans are pointing out that permanent tattoos are forbidden in the Islam religion. However, others have also pointed out that the tattoo could be non-permanent, and thus permitted. It's also possible the new Green Lantern could be an Arab but not Muslim.Well if he's not a Muslim like that Nightrunner character in Batman Inc, and is just simply of Arabic descent, then there's really no worries there. But that handgun? Just what is that supposed to be for?

Allies Urge Barack Obama to Go It Alone on Causes
By Steven T. Dennis
Roll Call Staff
June 11, 2012, Midnight
Important parts of President Barack Obama's political coalition — Hispanics, the gay and lesbian community, and women — are looking to the White House to act on its own via executive order given that their issues are going nowhere in Congress.
The White House so far has resisted executive orders on the DREAM Act and discrimination by federal contractors as it continues, publicly at least, to push for legislation that appears doomed.
But Obama's allies on Capitol Hill suggest it's time to reconsider that cautious approach — and they say the White House is taking another look.
"You'd have to say that the last year and a half of tea party dominance in the House has been a very unproductive period, and they've been unwilling to take and even consider some of these issues, so I can understand the frustration of many people on the outside and the dilemma facing the White House," Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said. "I wouldn't rule it out. ... The president needs to consider taking action by executive order when Congress will not respond to a major national challenge."
Durbin said the White House is actively looking at preventing deportations of people who would be subject to the DREAM Act, for example.
"It's being researched by legal counsel, I know that, in the White House and outside," Durbin said. "I know they're going through this calculation right now, weighing this and deciding whether to move with the executive order."
The DREAM Act, which Durbin has championed in the Senate, would provide a path to citizenship for illegal immigrant children who go to college or join the military.
Durbin acknowledged that an order wouldn't come without risks.
"You could get a political backlash with an executive order. ... I'm sure there's a calculation," he said. "But I'd have to say, in all fairness, we've gone a year and a half without a serious overture on DREAM other than Sen. [Marco] Rubio [R-Fla.]. ... There comes a point again where you've just got to say that there's an awful lot of vulnerable people out there."
Although those affected would still face some legal uncertainty should a new president rescind the order, they are subject to deportation now, Durbin noted.
And a new president would be faced with a new status quo — one where people have been granted protection.
"I think there's more pressure for him to continue that protection," Durbin said.
Gay rights groups, meanwhile, have been pressing the Obama administration for an order banning LGBT discrimination by federal contractors. And there have also been rumblings about an executive order applying pieces of the filibustered pay equity bill to contractors as well. So far, the White House has resisted.
Press Secretary Jay Carney has faced repeated questioning on the LGBT executive order, including after Exxon Mobil Corp. shareholders recently rejected anti-discrimination protections for its workers. He said the White House remains focused on a legislative strategy to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Carney repeatedly pointed to the success of repealing "don't ask, don't tell," which happened in the 2010 lame-duck session after the White House resisted calls for executive orders. Advocates, however, have noted that the DADT repeal happened when the president enjoyed big majorities in both chambers. ENDA, on the other hand, is going nowhere in the current divided Congress.
They contend that, in the meantime, Obama could take an important step to ban discrimination by contractors, which include numerous major businesses from coast to coast.
And before last week's vote on the pay equity bill, senior Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett rejected consideration of an executive order on pay equity on a conference call with reporters.
"Our efforts right now are devoted to getting this act passed," she said then. "There is no interest right now in talking about a fallback."
The strategy has been a contrast to the "We Can't Wait" campaign on economic issues, where Obama has announced numerous executive initiatives aimed at creating jobs. But the White House has been somewhat more cautious when it comes to executive orders on social issues. That's not to say that it hasn't issued any — indeed, protecting the president's executive orders has been a priority of the White House as it fights GOP policy riders during the annual spending bills.
Several liberal lawmakers, however, say Obama would help his constituencies by acting more on his own.
"Slow isn't working," said Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-Calif.), a liberal who has long complained of a too-cautious White House. "These groups need to know that there is support for them. The time for not ruffling feathers is past. It's not worked. It's time to ruffle feathers and show the people that support this White House that he supports them."
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), co-chairman of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said, "We would far prefer that they move forward and vindicate people's rights as soon as possible." He noted that when Obama came out for marriage equality, it helped, not hurt, and that his base would like to see more.
"You can have tepid support or you can have enthusiastic support, and we can use all we can," Ellison said.
It's not a question of progressives voting for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, it's a question of them voting at all, advocates of a more aggressive White House said.
Rep. Charlie Gonzalez (D-Texas), chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, said the White House has been wrestling with the CHC over whether it has the legal authority to stop deportations of people affected by the DREAM Act for nearly two years. Already, Obama has asked immigration authorities to prioritize deportations of illegal immigrants who have committed other, more dangerous crimes. Still, potential DREAM Act beneficiaries continue to be deported.
Obama shouldn't wait to act, Gonzalez said, if the administration determines it has the authority.
"The White House has to recognize that this Congress, in this election year, is basically frozen," he said. "The executive order would be more like an emergency room physician who would simply deal with the most pressing issue right now knowing there will have to be follow-up later. ... He has nothing to lose, and the DREAM kids have everything to gain."
Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) reiterated his push for an order with an item on the Huffington Post last week following a New York Times editorial pushing the executive order. And almost 100 law professors signed a letter to the White House asserting that the president has the authority to issue the order.
Rubio told Roll Call that he's not sure whether the executive order would help or hurt his efforts to line up Republican votes for the compromise legislation that he is drafting. But he said he would prefer the legislative route.
Democrats, however, have been largely skeptical that Rubio can deliver a product that will both be worthy of their support and get Republicans and Romney on board.
The drumbeat for an executive order will only grow louder as Obama faces a tough re-election fight — and one where he will need Hispanic voters to put him over the top.
The White House remained noncommital last week. "The President is deeply committed to doing all he can to improve people's lives and ensuring that Congress fulfills its responsibilities to act on measures important to millions of Americans," a senior administration official said.

In some states, the roads within a municipality's boundaries are the sole responsibility of the municipality, in other locations, the major roads within a municipality are owned and maintained by the state's Department of Transportation (DOT). If you live within a municipality, you will want to contact the public works department, transportation department or planning department to discuss crosswalk installation. They should be able to tell you who maintains the roadway section(s) in question. If you live outside a municipality, you can contact your county government and they should be able to tell you if the road is maintained by the county or state. If state maintains the roadway, you will want to ask the county for the contact information of the person or division that deals with state-maintained roadways within your state's DOT. Once you have identified who to talk with, you can then make your request known. Something to be aware of when you take your request to the appropriate department is there are situations where crosswalks are warranted and others where simply installing a crosswalk without other types of engineering treatments may not help. The appropriateness of where to install a marked crosswalk can vary from intersection to intersection. We have some crosswalk information in the engineering section of our online SRTS Guide that can help inform your discussion with your local transportation engineer.
As for funding the crosswalk installation, there are different mechanisms such as the city's general road maintenance budget and a capital improvement program. There may also be funding through your states Department of Transportation's Safe Routes to School program. To learn more about the Safe Routes program in your state program please visit our Find State Contacts page and click on the state of interest from the interactive map or drop down menu.

I never knew it would be so difficult to get tickets to a match at Anfield. Sure, I've been following the game of football since I was the age of 7 or 8 — 30 odd years now — but here's what I found when I tried to get a ticket to the Champions League match in late November against PSV Eindhoven.Although I'm not a Liverpool supporter, it's hard not to admire the club especially after I grew up in the UK during my formative years of the late 70s and early 80s. Liverpool was the greatest team in the world at the time.In anticipation of my first visit to Anfield, I purchased a Liverpool FC Fancard more than a year ago. However when details of how to purchase a ticket were announced late last week, I was disappointed to see that you could only buy a ticket to the PSV match if you had already purchased a ticket on the same fancard to the Galatasaray match from late September or the Bordeaux match from this past week.For someone like me, who doesn't live in the UK, the ticket policy makes it almost impossible to see Liverpool play. Sure, I completely understand that Liverpool is trying to reward those loyal supporters who go to many matches, but in this case, Liverpool has already qualified for the next round of the Champions League so the match against PSV is virtually meaningless.The irony is that my Aunt lives less than half a mile from Anfield and this may be my first and last chance to see a match at Anfield before the club moves to a new stadium. However, I'll try to visit the Anfield Stadium Tour to at least capture the history and excitement of visiting one of the greatest clubs in English football history.

Popular pony: Ford's Mustang is on track to outsell the Australian-built Falcon that ends production in October this year.
21 March 2016
By BYRON MATHIOUDAKIS
FORD has revealed that its recently launched but supply constrained Mustang
coupe and convertible is selling at more than 50 per cent above its initial
sales forecasts.
However, with only 4000 vehicles allocated for Australia this year, and orders
currently at slightly more than 6000 just three months after launch, dealers
are now quoting a late-2017 delivery timeframe.
This is despite Australia being a priority market for the Mustang, according to
Ford Australia president and CEO Graeme Whickman, speaking to GoAuto at the
launch of the Falcon Sprint in Tasmania last week.
"We said previously the [Mustang] waiting list was out to early next year. That
is now looking like mid-to-late next year," he said.
"That (original 4000 orders) number has increased significantly. And when I'm
talking significantly I'm talking not in the hundreds."
Mr Whickman added that his team is lobbying Ford's Dearborn, Michigan
headquarters to secure more stock from America.
"It's a great place to be and we're working hard," he said. "We've got our
hands up for more. We're a priority market (for Mustang)… and we're working
with them to get more, as we are with the Focus RS and Ranger Wildtrak."
At the current order rate, the Mustang will easily eclipse Falcon sales, which
– at 656 registrations to the end of February – might struggle to hit the 4000
mark by the time production ceases for good on October 7. Mustang, meanwhile,
is sitting at 745 units.
Whether this means Ford will hike up prices again is anybody's guess, with Mr
Whickman refusing to deny that more rises may be imminent.
A jump of up to $2500 occurred just prior to the Mustang's Aussie relaunch,
with unfavourable currency exchange rates being blamed.
The EcoBoost Fastback coupe with the 2.3-litre four-cylinder turbo manual
powertrain rose by $1000 to $45,990 plus on-road costs, while buyers of the GT
V8 equivalent copped the biggest increase, as it now starts at $57,490 plus
on-road costs.

Pecos hosts service veterans
Michael Murphy of the Patriot Guard shakes hands with students at Pecos Elementary, Friday morning. Mark Wilson Photo
Jack Fox and several other members of the Veterans Motorcycle Riders pulled up to Pecos Elementary School on their motorcycles toting large American flags and [auth] were greeted by about 430 beaming faces all excited to greet them: A drastic contrast to the reception he received upon returning from Vietnam decades ago.
He served in the Navy for three years and did three tours from 1965-67. He said coming back to the states wasn't easy.
"We got spat on, called names," he said. "It was hard to adjust because people would look at you. When we got home, we immediately changed into civilian clothes at the airports because we didn't want people hollering at us and calling us names."
The kindergarten through fifth-graders made sure the vets felt highly respected Friday as they lined up around the bus lane and encircled the veterans. They held banners and posters, waved mini American flags all while wearing red, white and blue clothing. The students then sang "America," "You're a Grand Old Flag" and "God Bless America." The veterans then walked around and shook each child's hand. Many of the youngsters thanked them for their service before loudly chanting "U.S.A." For Fox, the chance to interact with the kids and see that they understood the sacrifices he and other soldiers have made, meant a lot.
"It's wonderful seeing the kids and they're learning to support the troops and honor them. I was just glad to see the smiles on their faces and a couple of them had pictures of their dads who are in the service," he said. "They understand what we went through and what other families are going through now. They have to know and remember the people that are helping to provide them with the safety for their country and their opportunity to grow."
Principal Debbie Ryan said there was method to the way the ceremony was held.
"We wanted to do something a little bit more personal," she said. "I want my students to understand what a veteran is. When we try to explain that to them, they don't understand it, but to have a veteran come and shake their hand gives them a different meaning."
She added that "solider" is no longer just a term to them, they understand it is a living, breathing person who fought in war for their freedom.
In classroom, discussions took place explaining what Veterans Day is about and just how important it is to honor those who serve. She noted that the lessons coupled with the actual meeting of veterans really helped kids understand the gravity of Veterans Day.

No. 5 USC Punishes Panthers in 3-0 Sweep of No. 23 Northern Iowa
Aug. 31, 2012
LOS ANGELES - On a night when senior opposite hitter Katie Fuller went off for a career high 19 kills, the fifth-ranked USC women's volleyball team (4-0) produced a 3-0 sweep (25-18, 25-20, 25-16) of No. 23 Northern Iowa (3-2) in the third match of the 2012 Luxe City Center Trojan Invitational at Galen Center on Friday, Aug. 31.
Fuller attacked at a .457 rate (3e, 35att) and added seven digs and four blocks to her final line. The Trojans also received valuable contributions from their outside hitters, who each posted double-doubles. Junior Sara Shaw terminated 16 plays with kills (6e, 32att, .312) and had 10 digs while freshman Samantha Bricio put up 13 kills (3e, 36att, .278) and 10 digs.
Sophomore setter Hayley Crone notched a different type of double-double as she logged 38 assists to go with 10 digs. Junior libero Natalie Hagglund led the team with 15 digs and senior middle blocker Natasa Siljkovic was effective at the net with five blocks.
For the Panthers, Krista DeGeest had nine kills (1e, 14att, .571) and Candice Burke led all players with 20 digs.
The Trojans opened up the match on a tear as they scored six unanswered points, but the Panthers replied to chip away at the USC lead. A UNI service ace pulled it to within two points at 13-11, but a second Panther ace completely erased the Trojan lead and knotted the set at 13-all. Shaw broke the tie when she put down a ball from Siljkovic, but it was Fuller who extended the lead to three with a pair of kills of her own. The Panthers scored the next point but got no closer as USC went up by as many as seven points at 23-16 when Bricio went off-speed on the left side for a kill. Bricio knocked a ball off the UNI block to end the set, 25-19, for USC. The Trojans posted a .300 attack rate in the first set with 18 kills (6e) on 40 attempts. The Panthers had a .071 outing on 28 swings (7k, 5e).
Bricio added six of her kills in the second set without error on 12 swings to help the Trojans to a 25-20 win and a 2-0 lead in the match. Though USC walked away with the set at the end, Northern Iowa put up a fight throughout and led by as many as three points at 12-9. It took 10 rallies, but the Trojans finally broke through and reclaimed the lead when Bricio tipped a shot out of the back row for the kill and a 17-16 USC advantage. The Women of Troy extended to a four-point lead when Fuller knocked a shot off the Panther block to make the score, 23-19. Fuller and junior middle Alexis Olgard teamed up for a block to put the Trojans at set point before Olgard polished off the set with a kill on a quick-set from Crone. The Trojans added 18 kills to their total in the second set (5e, 42att) and attacked at a .310 rate. UNI was held to a .146 hitting percentage on 41 swings (12k, 6e) as the Trojans posted 4.0 blocks in the second set.
The third set was little of a contest as the Trojans ran ahead from the get-go. Fuller went high off Panther hands to push USC ahead, 5-1, and went down the line twice in a row to make the score 7-2. Northern Iowa got within five points at 11-6, but Shaw went off for five kills in 10 rallies to help USC grab a 17-10 lead. Even as the Panthers made a bid to get back into the set, their own mistakes had them facing a nine-point hole at 21-12. Shaw went down the line for a kill and a 24-15 lead before USC closed out the set for a 25-16 win. The Trojans posted a .286 attack rate in the third set with 17 kills (5e, 42att) and held the UNI attack to its 10 kills on 41 swings (6e) with a .098 hitting percentage.
The Trojans are back in action with matches against Boston College (4-2) and Mississippi State (2-2) on Saturday, Sept. 1. USC gets the Eagles in a 10 a.m. PT match and the Bulldogs at 8 p.m. Earlier in the day, Northern Iowa defeated Boston College and Boston College defeated Mississippi State; each in four-set outcomes.
