(WBIR) The state legislature reconvened Tuesday, and one hot topic lawmakers will discuss this year is the fight against meth.
Sen. Doug Overbey of Maryville and several house representatives announced Monday a bill they plan to sponsor, hoping to curb meth use. The bill would require a prescription for medicines with pseudeophedrine, which is the key ingredient in meth.
Several cities and counties have passed local ordinances requiring prescriptions, but under this bill, it would be a requirement statewide.
If the bill passes, pseudoephedrine would require voice, e-script or faxed prescriptions. Pseudoephedrine sales would also have to be reported to the state's controlled substance monitoring database.
Along with local lawmakers, doctors, pharmacists and police support the proposal even though it may be inconvenient for consumers. But Sen. Mae Beavers said putting this extra burden on consumers isn't the answer.
"While I certainly agree with the Sen. Overbey and others that something must be done to further address
Tennessee's meth problem, a prescription requirement would place a significant burden on law-abiding Tennessee families and fail to address the core causes of problem," wrote Beavers in a statement. "Forcing honest citizens to pay to see a doctor every time they have congestion is an unreasonable policy that punishes responsible consumers for the crimes of a criminal minority. It does nothing to deal with the near-constant flow of meth from across the Mexican border, or the treatment of those who suffer from serious drug addiction. It is the same policy that was rejected during last year's legislative session after it was determined that it was both imbalanced and ineffective."
Sen. Beavers was the original Senate sponsor of anti-meth legislation that implemented a real-time tracking system within the state, a meth-offender registry, and strict penalties for meth-related crimes.
In a release, Sen. Beavers argued that the state needs to strengthen its current policies.
"We should not be concerned with passing new laws until we fully apply those already on the books, such as the state's meth offender registry," wrote Sen. Beavers. "Policies that unfairly penalize law-abiding citizens for crimes they did not commit represent the worst kind of government overreach. We need to pursue laws that target criminals if we want to see real progress in this fight."
But, Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp disagrees, saying more laws, despite their inconvenience, are necessary to fight the meth problem.
"Prior to 911 we could go and board on an airplane. We didn't have to go through the security checkpoint. I will tell you I don't particularly like to have to take my belt and my shoes off, but I think America is safer today because of legislation and things that went into place after 911. I think this is just another good opportunity for us to have a good law that would aid us and assist us with this rural meth," said Maryville Police Chief Tony Crisp.
Last week, a report was issued saying it was "inconclusive" whether requiring a prescription has reduced meth cases in localities that have passed similar measures.

FOX Sports Daybreak: Alex Marvez
Andy and Mike caught up with FOX Sports 1 Senior NFL Reporter, Alex Marvez this morning. Marvez was live at the Senior Bowl and says Alabama Quarterback, A.J. McCarron's decision not to participate has rubbed some people the wrong way.
Alex Marvez: "From what I've been told, A.J. McCarron is not doing the Senior Bowl. I don't even know if he throws at the Combine... And one of those reasons is, if you're a top 20 pick - you act like a top 20 pick. That's that whole theory... But there are a lot of people in Mobile, Alabama who are really upset that A.J. McCarron wouldn't play in a game in his home town, wouldn't go ahead and compete... This is a game he went to as a kid. He's a big deal in Mobile... And instead he goes ahead and snubs and decides he's gonna go ahead and concentrate on his other Football work. I guess that's great but to me it sends up a whole bunch of red flags about, why doesn't this kid want to compete at this event? Why doesn't he want to show off his arm?"

Benchmark's Guide for Audio Playback using Mac
A Simple Guide to Configure Your Mac for Optimal Audio Quality
Set the correct sample-rate and set word-length to 24 bit
These are set in the 'Audio MIDI Setup' control interface, which is in the 'Utilities' folder:
(Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup).
In the drop-down menu titled "Properties for:", select the output device which you are using
Under "Audio Output", the "Format" should be set to the appropriate sample rate and '2ch - 24 bit'.
For iTunes versions earlier then 7, we recommend setting the sample rate to match the sample rate of the media (music) being played
For iTunes versions later then 7, we recommend setting the sample rate to the highest sample rate that your device is capable of
For iTunes versions later then 7, iTunes must be launched after the sample rate is set in AudioMIDI. Any sample rate changes made in AudioMIDI while iTunes is open will not change the sample rate of iTunes until iTunes is re-launched. Consequently, it will cause CoreAudio to sample-rate convert the audio coming from iTunes. The result of CoreAudio sample-rate conversion is significant distortion.
Set iTunes volume to "Full"
Volume settings below "full" may cause severe distortion, especially on version 6 and earlier.
The volume controls in iTunes versions 7.X and 8.X will not cause significant distortion. The user should not hesitate to use the volume control in iTunes v7.x and 8.X
This does not refer to the track-specific "Volume Adjustment" settings found in the "Get Info" menu. The "Volume Adjustment" setting should always be set to "None" for all tracks.
Read more about how digital volume controls affects audio
Bypass all audio DSP and plug-ins (EQ and any other audio 'enhancer')
For iTunes, disable 'Sound Enhancer' and 'Sound Check'
These settings can be found in iTunes by going to:

"Obama Willing to Use Executive Orders on Guns" - NY Times - 19 of them in fact!
At a news conference on Monday, exactly one month after the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., Mr. Obama said a task force led by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. had presented me now with a list of sensible, common-sense steps that can be taken to make sure that the kinds of violence we saw at Newtown doesnt happen again. He added: My starting point is not to worry about the politics. My starting point is to focus on what makes sense, what works.
Representative Jackie Speier, Democrat of California, said Vice President Biden had informed lawmakers during a two-hour briefing on Monday that there are 19 independent steps that the president can take by executive order. Ms. Speier said the executive action is part of the most comprehensive gun safety effort in a generation.
Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago and Mr. Obamas former chief of staff, joined the debate on Monday and said that the president should clear the table by doing whatever he can administratively so small issues do not get in the way of the bigger legislative fights over access to guns.

"common-sense steps that can be taken to make sure that the kinds of violence we saw at Newtown doesnt happen again"

2. the grammar is slightly off, i guess?
it should be 'kind of violence'.
but the idea-
Hes putting together a pretty comprehensive list of what could be done to make a difference in this area, said Representative Mike Thompson of California, who is heading a Democratic task force in the House. Theres some huge, huge holes in the process that are set up to keep communities safe. We need to close those holes.
maybe one of those 'its so crazy, it might work' things?
silly, as in totally obvious and a no-brainer, sure...
oh yeah!

3. How the Government Stifled Gun Research - Live Science
What's left is piecemeal and often small-scale research that fails to answer big questions about effective restrictions, the link between gun violence and mental health and cultural factors such as media, said Frank Farley, a psychologist at Temple University and former president of the American Psychological Association. Farley has been calling for what he dubs a "national violence project" that would approach the question of gun violence with the same gusto as the Manhattan project developing the atomic bomb, or the Apollo missions to the moon.
"I don't think we're going to get there by piecemeal efforts," Farley told LiveScience. "It's got to be big."
How we got here
In the 1980s and 1990s, research on gun violence in the United States was going strong. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) funded studies on gun violence, and research was bearing fruit, said Fred Rivara, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington and Seattle Children's Hospital. In particular, Rivara said, agency-funded research had revealed that residents of homes with guns had a higher likelihood of violent death in the home. [The History of Human Aggression]
However, once those findings came to the attention of the National Rifle Association (NRA), a political firestorm ensued. Congress members who supported the NRA first attempted to remove all funding from the NCIPC. That failed, but Congress did manage to remove $2.6 million from the CDC's overall budget, the exact amount spent on firearm injury research in the past year, Rivara wrote Dec. 21 in a commentary in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
More chillingly, Congress added language to the budget appropriations bill forbidding any CDC funding that might "advocate or promote gun control."
"The net effect is that we don't have any research going on in the public health sector about ways to prevent gun violence," Rivara told LiveScience.

4. What are the 19?
I dont't have the greatest understanding of what could actually be done through these 19 executive orders. From what I gather, they can really only be used to enforce current law, or shore up minor loopholes?
Can anyone shed some light?

5. later this week.. tomorrow, maybe? gotta start somewhere
It was all focusing on enforcing existing law, administering things like improving the background database, things like that that do not involve a change in the law but enforcing and making sure that the present law is administered as well as possible, said Rep. Bobby Scott (D-Va.).
The White House declined to comment on the details of what Obama will propose.
But Biden did indicate that the remains of the Obama campaign apparatus may be activated in the effort.
He said that this has been a real focus on the policy and that the politics of this issue, that a strategy on the politics of the issue hasnt been undertaken yet, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) told POLITICO. He did remind us that the campaign infrastructure is still accessible.
Biden did not address two of the more significant issues in the gun debate: the appointment of a permanent director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the role violent images in the entertainment industry play in the nations gun violence.

6. he's sacrificing the bishop of the "AWB' to put the NRA's queen of BS in a defense position
if that makes any sense
I think everybody acknowledges that the assault weapons ban is a challenge, but other things like the size of the magazines, the background checks, straw purchases are all things that have a good chance of passing, Scott said.
Speier said she told Biden the White House should do as much as it can on its own.
I urged him to do as much by executive order as possible, she said. Frankly, I dont have a lot of confidence that this Congress is going to do anything significant.
And Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Democrats Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, said the magazine ban and universal background checks would be far more effective than an assault weapons ban without the political cost.
Probably the most recognizable thing you can say in this debate is ban assault weapons, Thompson said. But the other two issues forbidding high-capacity ammunition magazines and requiring universal background checks for gun purchases those two things have more impact on making our neighborhoods safe than everything else combined. Anytime you try and prohibit what kind of gun people has it generates some concern.

Everybody stop.
Just stop. Take a breath. Step back. Chill out.
Politicians, stop politicking. Forget about focus groups and pork spending and back room deals and war room strategies. Democrats aren't evil and neither are Republicans, so stop treating people with whom you disagree as enemies. We're all Americans, so stop!

While Will Stein and Teddy Bridgewater prepare to handle the quarterback position at Louisville this season, Missouri transfer Tyler Gabbert will be looking over their collective shoulders to ready himself for 2012.
It's unofficially official that the younger brother of quarterback Blaine Gabbert — the 10th overall pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in April's draft — will be in Louisville's August camp. (Although the announcement may not come until just before camp starts.)
Tyler Gabbert was in competition with James Franklin during spring practice at Missouri to follow his brother as Missouri's starter. Franklin won the race, and Gabbert decided to transfer.
Louisville quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson recruited the Gabbert brothers while he was offensive coordinator at Nebraska. Both originally committed to the Huskers before going to Missouri.
Gabbert will have to sit out the 2011 season, but will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Since the ancient times, makeup has been considered significant in human life. While it may seem like a modern concept, makeup has actually existed since Ancient Egypt, with Egyptians using different powders and pigments to adorn their faces and show their symbol and status in their society. Until today, makeup is still incredibly important to society, as it dictates how one is seen by society. In a way, it provides us with some semblance of control on how the world sees us.
It also allows us a medium of expression, which gives us the opportunity to use our own faces as our canvas to show how we feel. While often a controversial topic in society today, we should look into what makes makeup such a widespread thing in our world, both then and now.
There is no record of when makeup was invented, but many postulate it was around the ancient times. Many ancient Egyptian artifacts depict its people wearing makeup such as eyeliner, eyeshadow, and lipstick. Romans also wore makeup, although it was frowned upon at the time. Chinese and Japanese people also wore makeup in the ancient times.
Today, makeup is a widespread trend, with men and women around the world using it as a tool and a medium of expression. In this society, however, there are some controversies surrounding the use of makeup, with many misogynists considering its use as "false advertising" of women. The use of makeup, however, is still popular with people today, with it helping them look, feel and act more confident, as well as helping them in various aspects such as in their occupations. Makeup companies are also growing in size and net worth, helped by society's use and with the help of the media and the enforcement of beauty standards.
One of the most popular kinds of makeup today is lipstick. It is one of the most important because it is one of the most commonly used cosmetic products. It comes in various shades, colors, and hues. The most popular, however, is bright red because it gives off a powerful vibe and lets makeup users confidently express themselves. Shades of pink give off a more feminine vibe, and dark shades show off a little more mystery.
It is interesting to see how lipstick affects people's perceptions of one another, and again, as with all makeup, it is used as a tool to control the way people see us and to change society's perception of us.
Lipstick is also a popular topic in makeup communities, with many people having collections of hundreds of shades of lipsticks. It is often talked about and many brands are recommended. Many makeup users also like to create videos and posts dedicated to lipstick on their YouTube channels and blogs.
Recently, there has also been a rising trend of makeup subscription boxes. These are monthly or bimonthly subscriptions for packages of various makeup items, usually sample sizes. These subscriptions help makeup lovers try out new brands to see which ones they like, and help them save a little than if they were to buy a larger sized product. This also helps makeup companies widen their market and attract new customers.
Throughout the years, makeup has evolved in society and while its uses remain much the same, makeup lovers have found new ways to innovate and spread their love for makeup, providing a unique and fun experience for everyone to enjoy.Tags: basics of makup, Makeup 101, makeup subscription boxes

Subject: OBIT-LUDIVINE MENEGAY HATTRIA, STARK COUNTY
Date: Sat, 23 Oct 1999 15:49:34 EDT
The long life of Mrs. Ludivine Hattria drew to a close shortly after
nightfall on Tuesday. For weeks her condition was such that her death was not
unexpected at any time. She lived far beyond the years of the average person
and was one of Louisville's oldest residents.
Mrs. Hattria's maiden name was Ludivine Menegay and she was born in
Mandeau, Department of Doubs, France, August 15, 1821. She came with her
parents to America in 1848, during the time of the up-rising against the
royalty of Europe. The family passed through Paris at the time Louis Philippi
was forced from the throne of France. They came to Louisville which at that
time was largely made up of French people, and Mrs. Hattria lived here for
sixty years. There were seven children in the family and all have passed away
save Louis E. Menegay, of Louisville. Joseph Hattria, husband of the
deceased, was killed in the old Star Mill at Louisville, 55 years ago. He was
caught in the fly wheel of the engine, and his life was crushed out. For
many years Mrs. Hattria resided with her son, Charles Hattria, who provided
every comfort and care for her. He is the only living child of a family of
Funeral services will be held at St. Louis Catholic church at 9 o'clock
sun time, Friday morning, and will be conducted by Rev. Francis Senner.
Burial will be made in the Catholic cemetery.

But how many of them remember the CNN host who asked whether the Russian meteorite had been caused by global warming?
For example, a common type of meteorite has similar mineral content to Earth, but a lot less deuterium.
When the network of metal is more or less disconnected the meteorite is a meso-siderite.
In the "Iliad," Zeus is said to have sent Athena as a meteorite from heaven to earth.
Here a dozen people squabbled over the behavior of a meteorite.
The stone is perhaps a meteorite, set in a corner at a proper height for kissing.
Aside from that there was the constant danger from meteorite falls.
If I cut this black cement in the base of the bullet, I come to the meteorite; am I correct?
A shooting-star to northward filled the sky with the green blink of a meteorite dissipating itself in our atmosphere.
It didn't look like the kind of hole a meteorite would make.
A meteor that reaches the Earth's surface because it has not been burned up by friction with the atmosphere. Meteorites are believed to be fragments of comets and asteroids. ◇ Meteorites that consist mostly of silicates are called stony meteorites and are classified as either chondrites or achondrites. ◇ Meteorites that consist mostly of iron are called iron meteorites. ◇ Meteorites that consist of a mixture of silicates and iron are called stony-iron meteorites.

GARY Whild could add yet more reinforcements to his Kidderminster Harriers squad as they prepare to challenge for the play-offs.
The new manager, who took over from Andy Thorn on Wednesday, has already introduced a new face at Aggborough by recruiting Amari'i Bell from Birmingham City on a youth loan until the end of the season.
Bell, 19, can play in a variety of positions down the left and could be included in the squad for today's Skrill Premier match at Wrexham (3pm).
He made his Blues debut in the Championship in the 2-1 defeat at St Andrew's against Leicester City in January, as well as playing 19 games on loan at Nuneaton Town in non-league's top-flight earlier this season.
Whild is looking for Bell to provide cover and competition for places in Harriers' final 13 games of the season and has hinted at more additions.
The Harriers boss, who has also drafted in former Premier League-winning keeper Tim Flowers as a coach, said: "Games will be coming thick and fast so we need to help the lads who are here by bringing one or two in.
"We have looked at Amari'i, he's already played in the Championship and he is someone who can play in a number of positions.
"It's good to bring someone like that in and it gives us a bit of cover on the left-hand side."
Meanwhile, chairman Ken Rae has insisted that poor results was not the reason behind the dismissal of Thorn.
Harriers won just two of their eight league matches during the former Wimbledon defender's tenure.
Rae knows Whild from their time in the same roles at Redditch United, when Whild kept the Valley Stadium outfit in the Conference North.
The Kidderminster chief said: "The decision to remove Andy was not based on results, the board of directors felt we had to do something. We wish him the best of luck in the future."

To flee or stay: gang locked in deadly dilemma
Page Tools
Captured ... a man alleged to have been one of the hostage takers.
The terrorists who took over the school in Beslan argued heatedly about whether to abandon the siege in the moments before the firestorm of explosions and shooting that killed hundreds of children and adults, Russian officials said.
Special services had a surveillance tape of the guerillas arguing about whether to stay or flee just before a bomb they had planted in the school gym went off and prompted Russian commandos to storm the building, a senior Kremlin official, Aslanbek Aslakhanov, said.
As details surfaced about the massacre, a picture emerged of the guerillas and the four men who led them into the school, where investigators say they took orders by phone from a Chechen commander, Shamil Basayev.
The leaders, they said, included a Basayev bodyguard and a former police officer who turned against authorities and led a bloody attack in the neighbouring republic of Ingushetia last June. All four leaders were killed in the battle at the school, authorities say.
Mr Aslakhanov said more than 20 Russian commandos were killed in the day-long battle, many of them accidentally shot in the back by armed civilian vigilantes who rushed to the school to fight for their children.
The previously undisclosed death toll, he said, surpasses any in the history of the famed Alpha and Vympel special forces units.
Officials said they have concluded that the strike against a target outside Chechnya, the scene of nearly 10 years of intermittent fighting, was part of a broader strategy to reignite the entire North Caucasus, a historically volatile region of mixed ethnic and religious groups.
While the Government has admitted lying about the scope of the hostage crisis at first, its analysis of the goals and Chechen sponsorship coincides with that of independent specialists.
To bolster their version of events, officials put a Chechen man they identified as a captured guerilla on state television on Monday night to make the first public statement by any of those involved in seizing the school. The prisoner, visibly injured, had trouble talking as he described one of the ringleaders giving the orders for the attack.
"We gathered in the forest and the Colonel - it's his nickname - and they said we must seize the school in Beslan," the man said. The orders had come from Basayev and another Chechen commander, Aslan Maskhadov. This group included Arabs and Uzbeks as well as Chechens and other nationalities. "When we asked the Colonel why we must do it, he said, 'Because we need to start war in the entire territory of the North Caucasus'."
Many of the guerillas who seized the Beslan school took part in raids in Ingushetia in June that killed 90 people, investigators said.
Musa Apiyev, the deputy Interior Minister in Ingushetia, said: "They're travelling, they're moving from place to place, exploiting the weak spots in our positions, and they're running from spot to spot committing their dark crimes."
Ingushetia and North Ossetia, south and west of Chechnya, are dominated by different ethnic groups and fought a brief war over territory in 1992. Relations have remained tense.
The four leaders inside the school represented the spectrum of the region's ethnic groups: a Chechen, a Russian, an Ingush and an Ossetian, according to tentative identifications by Russian officials.
What remained unclear was the extent of the involvement of Arab fighters, if any.
Russian officials initially said that 10 of the hostage-takers were Arabs, but surviving hostages said they saw no Arabs and not one was identified as a leader to outside negotiators.

Working conditions send the nurses walking
By Kathleen Fackelmann, USA TODAY
Nurses in several cities around the country have taken
the debate over their working conditions to an extreme level: They've walked
Health policy experts and nursing advocates warn that the
strikes will likely continue if administrators don't address the poor working
conditions in many of the nation's hospitals. The administrators contend that
they are doing the best they can to serve patients despite a severe nursing
shortage as well as cuts in Medicare and other funding sources.
On strike today:
The nurses are out on the picket line because the hospitals
have cut staff, often forcing nurses to work double shifts caring for severely
ill patients, says Susan Bianchi-Sand, director of the United American Nurses
(UAN), which represents the nurses in Youngstown and Minneapolis. The same dangerous
working conditions drove the Brockton nurses to strike, says David Schildmeier
at the Canton-based Massachusetts Nurses Association.
Some experts warn that the strikes represent a larger problem,
one that affects hospitals nationwide.
Linda Aiken, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania,
says many hospital nurses in the USA are burned out because they're working
longer hours, and with less help.
"You have tired nurses working in critical situations,"
says Linda Warino, a striking Youngstown nurse. She says Forum Health hospitals
often requires nurses to work four to eight hours on top of a normal shift,
bringing them up to a total of 16 hours straight. "I think it lays the groundwork
for errors," she says.
Warino, who is part of the negotiating team for the Youngstown
nurses, says she and her colleagues are asking for an end to mandatory overtime
as well as a pay raise.
Minnesota nurses don't have to deal with mandatory overtime,
but they say they often must work double shifts or leave their colleagues with
a crushing burden of patients.
"The nurses believe patients are at risk today," says Jan
Rabbers of the Minnesota Nurses Association.
Nursing advocates warn that the stressful working conditions
will if not addressed drive more nurses to the picket lines.
"In the last couple of years, we've seen an increase in
strikes because nurses don't feel they're being taken seriously," Bianchi-Sand
In 1995, there were four strikes by registered nurses.
Last year's total was 10. So far this year, the nation has seen seven strikes,
according to the UAN, which is the labor arm of the American Nurses Association.
Strikes won't solve the underlying issue, counters the
American Hospital Association's Pamela Thompson. Many hospitals have had to
cut costs and staff because of reductions in funding, including Medicare payments,
Thompson says.
Complicating matters, she says, hospitals in many parts
of the USA face a shortage of registered nurses. She says managers as a last
resort will ask nurses to work longer hours or face a ward full of patients
and not enough staff to care for them.
The Department of Health and Human Services says young
women have spurned the nursing profession, leaving the USA with a projected
shortfall of 400,000 nurses by the year 2020.

Examining cognitive attributes in student-teacher and student-student online interactions PROCEEDINGS
Dorit Maor, Murdoch University, Australia
Global Learn, in Penang, Malaysia ISBN 978-1-880094-79-2 Publisher: Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE)
This paper explores whether the source for cognitive attributes is in teacher-student interactions or student-student interactions. Quantitative data analysis suggests that there is no conclusive answer. However, there was a higher-level of cognitive attributes in the teacher-student interactions than student-student interactions, in particular in the cognitive category of Sharing information, but less so in other higher-level cognitive categories. When using qualitative discourse analysis, an interesting finding emerged. It appears that teachers can intentionally raise the level of cognitive discussion by providing certain types of stimulation, especially challenges, to the group of online learners, constantly presenting higher-level cognitive tasks.

Concerts give music lovers the chance to gather together to hear their favorite artist and share one giant, meaty party sub. Share a moment with this GrouponLive deal to see The Australian Bee Gees at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. For $35, you get one ticket for VIP seating (up to a $74.55 value, including all fees). Shows run Saturday–Thursday at 7 p.m., with doors opening one hour before showtime.
The Australian Bee Gees
The Australian Bee Gees pull off a feat of musical mimicry with their uncannily similar sound and comparable appearance to the celebrated musical group. The concert offers favorite classic tunes augmented by contemporary multimedia, rather than disco balls and a poster of Richard Nixon in Saturday Night Fever. With dance-friendly tunes sure to disarm even the disco-averse, each set covers the full career trajectory of the brothers Gibb. In addition to essential hits such as "Stayin' Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love," the Aussies drape their harmonic tapestry around soulful early classics such as "To Love Somebody" and "Holiday."<p>

Final steps to bombers' executions
Indonesia Correspondent
Page Tools
INDONESIAN President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has supported hastening the execution of the original Bali bombers, but warned the "letter of the law" must be followed.
Presidential spokesman Andi Mallarangeng said Dr Yudhoyono was not concerned about a terrorist backlash against any executions, despite a warning from Bali police chief I Made Mangku Pastika that it could provoke further attacks.
Both Dr Mallarangeng and a spokesman for Attorney-General Abdul Saleh emphasised the need for all legal steps to be followed. Authorities in Bali want to speed up the execution of bombers Amrozi, Imam Samudra and Muklas by ruling they have abandoned their right to a presidential pardon if they do not seek it immediately.
Mr Saleh will make the final recommendation on the executions, but his spokesman was reluctant to answer questions. "They haven't completed the steps. Why would we talk about it?" he said.
The Attorney-General's office could decide on Amrozi's execution by the first week of November, with the bombers' families being requested urgently to either seek a pardon or waive the right on their behalf.
Two of those sentenced to death for their role in the October 2002 blasts that killed 202 people have the right to further judicial reviews, although Amrozi has exhausted all legal steps.
Asked about the public demands to execute Amrozi in the aftermath of the second Bali bombings, Dr Mallarangeng said "of course we would like to speed up the process but of course we have to allow the legal process to come to an end with application for pardon.
"If they are not going to use their rights to ask for pardon, then of course, the final decision about that issue will be made as soon as possible," he said. "If the law says it's time for execution, then it is execution."
General Pastika, who captured the 2002 bombers, has warned Amrozi's execution would provoke a backlash.
More details have emerged of police fears that further suicide bombings are imminent, with the central Java police chief Chairul Rashid claiming terrorists have recruited at least 35 new suicide bombers in Indonesia.
According to the Kompas newspaper, General Rashid told worshippers at a mosque in Magelang that many of the recruits were drug addicts, including some of the three bombers behind the attacks earlier this month.
Meanwhile, a senior Indonesian military officer named an Islamic cleric in Sulawesi, Muhama Salman, as one of those behind the October 1 bombings. The provincial commander said he named Salman on the basis of interrogation of five recruits caught being sent to the Philippines for terrorist training.
However, police said they were unaware of the claim. The five alleged recruits have been released due to a lack of evidence.

No. 2199
NEW YORK-- The Federal Reserve Bank of New York today announced that effective April 5, 1999, the routine time for the trading desk (the Desk) to announce temporary open market operations with primary dealers will shift one hour early to around 9:30 AM EST.
The main motivation for this change is to operate on a routine basis during the time when the market for repurchase agreements in government securities is more liquid.
Limitations in the availability of data, which provide the basis for internal daily forecasts of the supply of reserves in the banking system, previously have prevented the Desk from entering the market earlier than 10:30 AM on a routine basis.
Recent improvements in the flow of reserves data within the Federal Reserve System and between the System and the Department of the Treasury enable the reserve forecasters to receive most of the essential reserve supply data about an hour earlier.
On some occasions the Desk may choose to enter the market earlier than 9:30 AM, which usually will reflect a judgment that earlier entrance will better enable the Desk to complete the total amount of desired transactions for that day.
There also may be occasions, particularly around tax payment dates, when the Desk may choose to operate somewhat later in the morning, or choose to conduct temporary operations more than once in a day. This usually will reflect the impact of late-arriving reserve supply data on the Desks forecast.
