President Barack Obama has signed into law legislation protecting hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for New York City's mass transit system, which U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) called "the city's lifeblood."
Schumer and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), who fought against attempts to severely cut mass transit funds, announced passage of their transit rescue legislation last week.
The legislators also said they had negotiated some $200 million for transit in New York.
"Mass transit is the lifeblood of New York, Long Island and Westchester, but if the House of Representatives had their way, straphangers would have been left on the platform with no train in sight," Schumer said. "I'm pleased that we were able to stop this wrong-headed plan dead in its tracks, which was designed to take away needed funding for our subways, commuter rails and buses."
"This was a hard-fought victory for millions of New York residents who commute to work every day using mass transit," Gillibrand said.
New York congressional members had sounded an early alarm at a news conference last winter at Grand Central Terminal.
"This is a bill aimed like a dagger at the heart of cities and suburban areas," said U.S. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-Manhattan).
U.S. Rep. Joseph Crowley (D-Jackson Heights) said at the Grand Central news conference "what the Republicans are trying to do would cost New York City $1.7 billion. Quite literally this will massacre our mass transit system."
Earlier this year the House Ways and Means Committee, which handles the financial portion of the Surface Transportation Reauthorization legislation, passed legislation that would abolish the Mass Transit Account, remove fuel tax funds for mass transit and other transportation projects that reduce congestion or improve air quality and would create a new Transportation Alternatives Account, making these programs subject to the annual appropriations process.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee also made several attempts to slash funding procedures for public transportation programs by as much as 37 percent.
Schumer and Gillibrand had urged members of the Conference Committee to preserve the procedures.
They announced they were also able to restore the dedicated transit fund system, in which transit money is automatically sent to mass transit systems such as New York City's. The House proposal would have abolished automatic transit payments and forced transit proponent legislators to fight annually in Congress for such money with other lawmakers seeking more funds for highways.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood called the House of Representatives proposal to remove hundreds of millions from mass transit "the worst transportation plan I have ever seen."

Robert J. Pekkanen
Seattle Campus
Explores a fundamental link between citizens and political representation: how electoral systems shape party systems, what kinds of people become candidates, how parties work, representation, and policy. Covers effects and mechanics of the various voting systems. Offered: jointly with POL S 472.
Class description
How you count determines who wins. The importance of electoral systems is as inescapable and pervasive as the drumbeat of a Presidential election campaign. This course offers a comparative analysis of electoral systems. Electoral rules are critically important in politics; these rules translate votes into seats and thus determine who wins elections--and different ways of counting lead to different political results. An obvious recent example is the 2000 US presidential election, where one candidate won a majority of the popular vote but lost the election because of a peculiar electoral system (the electoral college). Redistricting and gerrymandering are perennial topics in the US, too. But, outside of the United States, electoral systems vary widely and this dramatically affects the politics of those countries. An important part of this course will be studying how electoral systems affect party systems, candidate selection, party organization, (gender, ethnic, and other types of) representation, and policy outcomes. We will also learn the mechanics of the various voting systems, from nominal systems (such as the single member district system we use in the US) to proportional representation systems, with assorted twists (open vs. closed party list) and eccentric systems (SNTV, STV) throw in for good measure. Moreover, patterns of electoral system reform in both advanced industrialized democracies and developing states from the adoption of proportional representation in the 19th Century to ballot reforms driven by donors in the 21st Century illustrate reciprocal influence and global interactions in den this critical and inextricably domestic institution. Students will leave the course with a solid understanding of what electoral systems are and how vitally important they are for politics.

An interesting thing about the S&P/ASX 200 on Tuesday was sector performance. We ended seven up and three down, but the way I see it, there was some unexpected weakness in those favoured yield sectors.
At the close, the best sectors were materials (2.04 per cent), IT (1.41 per cent) and energy (1.14 per cent).
These three had been the leaders just 10 minutes before the RBA move, and had gained by about half a percentage point or more in the remainder of the session.
Weakest at the close were consumer staples (-2.18 per cent), financials (-1.13 per cent) and telcos (-0.97 per cent).
This is where it got interesting. These sectors, as we had been pointing out, had been weak all day. They were weak on Monday, too. After the RBA cut, we did see a bit of an improvement in high-yield sectors, but this didn't really last.
Much of the thinking was if the RBA cut rates, stocks paying a relatively high dividend would see a decent bid as investors go hunting for income. Going by the performance over the past two days – and especially after Monday afternoon's price action – this trade is off to a very sluggish start. Or resources are back.
The RBA's commentary
A few thoughts from the RBA's rate cut commentary.
Note we have April employment data due on Thursday – a very important data release – and also the RBA's Statement on Monetary Policy on Friday, where it will update its inflation and growth forecasts. We might wonder whether those releases will come in a bit ugly.
But let's zero in right to the final paragraph – the one that matters – of the RBA policy statement and we get the sense an easing bias is still in place. That is, we're probably going lower from here.
"The Board has previously noted that the inflation outlook would afford scope to ease further, should that be necessary to support demand. At today's meeting the Board decided to use some of that scope. It judged that a further decline in the cash rate was appropriate to encourage sustainable growth in the economy, consistent with achieving the inflation target."
That may not be too much of a surprise to the market. Ahead of Tuesday's meeting, quite a number of economists expected one – if not two more – rate cuts over the course of the year. So that's one down.
More room to move
Picking through the language, it's probably the phrase "use some of that scope" that we should focus on. Now, it is mathematically true that with a cash rate of 3.0 per cent, the RBA certainly had scope to cut. And it's also mathematically true that a 0.25 percentage point cut would classify as using "some" of that scope. And there's still room to move.
Tuesday's cut, obviously, puts paid to some views the easing cycle was over. The question now is how much more?
Traders are pricing in 38 basis points of cuts over the next 12 months.
The other thing emphasised in the commentary is encouraging sustainable growth.
We have discussed previously – in the wake of the recent G-20 and IMF meetings and the subsequent downplaying of currency wars, and also commentary from other major global central banks – that policymakers are fully committed to promoting economic growth at home.
Encouraging sustainable growth
As long as your central bank policy says the primary goal is to promote growth or sustain a recovery, then everything is above board. That means if your currency happens to depreciate as you quantitatively ease or cut rates (for those who can), you won't get in trouble because you're not competitively devaluing your currency.
The RBA this month has decided it needs to "encourage sustainable growth" whereas in April, it would "continue to assess the outlook and adjust policy as needed to foster" it.
The "foster" terminology was introduced back in December, when the RBA cut rates to the historically low level of 3.0 per cent.
So the case is that in the past five months, the economic outlook has softened enough to warrant the RBA stepping in to try and prop things up.
In any case, Australia may have entered the currency war that no one wants to say is a currency war. But we're in it.
This comes less than a week after the European Central Bank on May 2 cut its main refinancing rate by 0.25 percentage points to a record low 0.50 per cent, and a month after the Bank of Japan started its aggressive new quantitative easing program.
On Thursday, the Bank of Korea holds its policy decision. While they're not expected to do anything, policymakers have this year unveiled stimulus packages and tried to smooth the volatility in the won in a bid to foster growth.

Mark Emmert, the president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the almighty overseer of American college sports, likes to think of himself as a reformer. A few months ago, after he'd been on the job for a little more than a year, he pushed through a series of improvements, including slightly higher academic standards for college athletes, a full-scale review of the N.C.A.A.'s fat rule book and a new provision giving universities the option of offering four-year scholarships. The current one-year deals are, believe it or not, renewable at the discretion of coaches, who can effectively cut injured or underperforming "student athletes," as the N.C.A.A. likes to call them.
And one other thing: With Emmert's backing, the N.C.A.A.'s board of directors, composed of college and university presidents (Emmert himself is a former president of the University of Washington), agreed to make it permissible for Division I schools to pay their athletes a $2,000 stipend. When I saw Emmert in November, shortly after the new rule went into effect, I told him that the stipend struck me as a form of payment to the players. He visibly stiffened. "If we move toward a pay-for-play model — if we were to convert our student athletes to employees of the university — that would be the death of college athletics," Emmert retorted. "Then they are subcontractors. Why would you even want them to be students? Why would you care about their graduation rates? Why would you care about their behavior?" No, he insisted, the extra $2,000 was an effort to increase the value of the scholarships, which some studies estimate falls on average about $3,500 short of the full cost of attending college annually.
At the time I spoke to Emmert, high-school athletes were signing binding letters of intent to attend a university — letters that said they would get the $2,000. But over the next month, college athletic directors and conference commissioners began protesting the new stipend, claiming they couldn't afford it. Within a month, more than 125 of them had signed an "override request." And so it was that just a few weeks ago, the N.C.A.A. decided to suspend the payment. For legal reasons, those athletes who were already promised the $2,000 will most likely still get it. But any athlete granted a scholarship after the stipend was canceled may not. (The N.C.A.A. plans to review the issue on Jan. 14.) In other words, some lucky handful of incoming freshmen will be handed $2,000 without jeopardizing their status as amateurs. Yet any other college athlete who manages to get his hands on an extra $2,000 — by taking money from an overenthusiastic booster, say, or selling some of their team paraphernalia, as a few Ohio State football players did — will be violating the N.C.A.A.'s rules regarding amateurism and will probably face a multigame suspension. Behold the logic of the N.C.A.A. at work.

To SCOTUS & President Obama: My Uninsurable Child Thanks You
No issue has ever drawn me into a two-hour debate on Facebook; last week's Supreme Court announcement upholding the Affordable Care Act did it.
Voices of parents raising children born prematurely, or with disabilities, have not been the loudest in this debate. I want us to be heard now so that those of you clinging to old, Tea Party/Limbaugh-inspired rhetoric about how you have lost something (you know who you are), that it's violating your individual freedoms, etc, can begin to realize that this decision is not about you. This decision is about my child, about a child you know, about a child or grandchild you might someday have, and about millions of others who are rejoicing with the recent SCOTUS decision confirming the constitutionality of the ACA.
First, a quick thanks to recognize the wisdom and courage of Chief Justice John Roberts on this, and the four others that voted with him. We parents of children with special needs are rejoicing today and are significantly less fearful of the future.

Bradley A. Buckles, who served ATF for 30 years and was named director in 1999, will become head of the Anti-Piracy Unit of the Recording Industry Association of America, the trade group announced Tuesday.
"Brad's appointment should signal to everyone that we continue to take piracy, here and throughout the world, very seriously," said Mitch Bainwol, RIAA's chairman and chief executive officer.
Over the past six months, RIAA has filed more than 380 copyright lawsuits against computer users its says are illegally distributing songs over the Internet. The RIAA also says music copyrights are increasingly threatened by easy-to-produce counterfeit compact disks.
Attorney General John Ashcroft praised Buckles for "the seamless transfer" of ATF from the Treasury Department to the Justice Department, which was part of the law creating the Homeland Security Department.
Buckles' retirement is effective Jan. 3. No replacement was immediately named.

BlackBerry Finally Gets Some Love… in Nigeria
BlackBerry (RIMM) might be struggling to gain market share in the United States, but that's not the case in Nigeria.
Of the four million smartphones owned in the country, two million (HALF!) are BlackBerrys.
Why does the company have such a large presence there? Its free text messaging service, BlackBerry Messenger, has a lot to do with it.
Robert Bose, the company's managing director in the region, says, "We think BlackBerry Messenger is very strong, has a very strong community, has a very strong connectedness that Nigerian society enjoys."
Indeed, for many of Nigeria's two million users, BlackBerry Messenger is key. As one resident in Lagos says, "You can reach your families; you can reach your friends through pinging – without spending much money."
If only BlackBerry Messenger had such cachet globally.
But with free text messaging services like iMessage for the iPhone and Kik Messenger (which works for Android, iOS, Windows phones and BlackBerry), the company needs to figure out a new way to generate market share.

This color was a huge disappointment! To see this on my nails, keep reading..
Just Spotted The Lizard is from the new OPI Spiderman Collection. I was so excited about this color. In the bottle it looks like a gold, green, blue, and orange duo-chrome. However, once on my nails, all I saw was an ugly green color. I was so upset it didn't give the same effect as it did in the bottle.
The only time I saw the blue and orange come out was in the shower or while washing my hands… Basically when my nails were wet it looked AMAZING!
This is two coats and I had no issues with application. I do not recommend this shade.
What do you think?!

About MeI am a professional photographer and I only have time to shoot paid gigs. Therefore whenever I use a model for a shot, he or she GETS PAID. I do this as a business and take my job very seriously. It's over 15 years of experience that has given me the poise and accuracy that keeps me in business today.
I like to capture the real essence of the models that I am photographing and am not interested in working with anyone who has preconceived notions of what they want to look like. My shots portray live, natural atmospheres; ones that are fun and exciting no matter where I choose to take them. My models are expected to be on time, every time, for my time is very valuable. Therefore, rescheduling must be done with at least 1 days notice, never on the day of the shoot. I work with all different kinds of companies promoting all sorts of different products. I am not working to make creative images. I'm working to make money and looking for models who wish to do that same.

13 AssassinsClose
For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that 13 Assassins is an incredibly violent samurai action movie, from the maverick Japanese cult director Takashi Miike, who is known for some of the most intense movies of the past ten years (including Audition). The final 45 minutes of the movie is a bloody, sustained battle sequence that literally includes rivers of blood, spraying and spurting blood, and hundreds of dead bodies. Weapons used include swords, bows and arrows, fire, and bombs. Rape, the murder of women and children, and the act of hara-kiri are all portrayed off-screen. Most disturbingly, we see one of the villain's victims: a naked woman whose arms, legs, and tongue have been cut off. Additionally, there's some sexual innuendo and some sake drinking. This review applies to the American theatrical release and the DVD/Blu-Ray release, which runs 126 minutes. The original Japanese version, which is not yet officially available in the U.S., runs 141 minutes.
- Sexual Content
- There's no sex, but a naked woman is shown; she's the victim of the main villain; her arms, legs, and tongue have all been cut off. Needless to say, it's not a sensual image, but rather a violent and disturbing one. There's also some sexual innuendo in the form of dialogue among the men. A small naked boy is seen urinating.
- Violence
- Not much happens until the movie's final third, when it turns into one of the longest, bloodiest, and most sustained battle sequences ever filmed. There are literally rivers of blood flowing from the hundreds of dead bodies slain on the battlefield, in addition to spurting and spraying blood. We see one of the villain's victims, a woman with her arms and legs chopped off (and her tongue cut out). It's a gruesome, disturbing sight. Characters use swords, bows and arrows, bombs, and fire. We see bashing, stabbing, and beheadings. Bulls are lit on fire and sent into battle. The villain rapes women, and kills women and children (all off-screen). A man commits hara-kiri (off-screen).
- Language
- Not applicable.
- Social Behavior
- The movie's main theme is revenge, although the target is a sociopath so unspeakably evil that his death feels like a good deed. (It is implied that killing him will save the lives of many future victims.) Characters bravely and calmly agree to risk their lives and work together to stop him.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- The men drink sake in one scene, in a social setting.
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

The Atlanta Braves and Washington Nationals have postponed Monday's series opener at Nationals Park in the aftermath of the DC Naval Yard shooting Monday.
The shooting, which left 12 dead, resulted in many streets in DC being blocked off. Players and coaches were also permitted to enter the ballpark around noon, and the Braves' team bus left their hotel on schedule, but that didn't keep the events of the day from affecting the game.
Monday's game will be made up as a split doubleheader Tuesday, with game times of 1:05 and 7:05. The series will wrap up on Wednesday, as originally scheduled.
The postponement gives the Braves two days off this week – Monday and Thursday – but the earliest they could clinch the National League East is still Tuesday if they sweep the doubleheader. Their magic number is four.

Label: Brainfeeder
Release Date: Mar-19-2012
With his sophomore album
Ghost People
appearing on 2011's end of the year charts for the likes of Mixmag (# 6), Clash Magazine (#9), DJ Magazine (#9) and Data Transmission ('Album of the Year'), Martyn returns to Brainfeeder to release a follow-up single this March.
The single leads with 'Hello Darkness,' previously unreleased and exclusive to the single, Martyn shuffles through a rhythmic bassline and feeling of, indeed, darkness from the very first beat. In typical Martyn fashion, the track skips its way through genre conventions, landing in a flux between 2-step, driving techno and old rave (the latter specifically heard in his ethereal and scaling upper melodies). 'Hello Darkness' could lend itself to the rawest, grittiest warehouse, yet simultaneously breeds a subtle feeling of elation and release, and keeps the listener guessing with a variety of quirky sound collages.
It also features a remix of 'Bauplan,' Night Slugs bosses L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok bring the most sinister corners of London into their remix, with a heavy grime lean and a pervading feeling of tension. Erratic samples (sounds of a tweeting bird one moment, the cocking of a gun the next) appear in-between a snap beat, metallic stabs and an apocalyptic build-up of percussion and aalbsynths. Pulsing in and out of a highly volatile atmosphere, almost as if the track is alive and breathing, this 'Bauplan' almost feels like an unrelated beast until Martyn's melody lines start to unfold halfway through the track.
To finish there is an exclusive remix of 'We Are You In The Future,' a favourite from the
Ghost People
LP amongst critics and DJs across the board. Techno's notorious man in the red mask - Redshape - steps up to create a deep and dark Detroit interpretation of Martyn's freewheeling, sci-fi-enhanced joyride. Laced with ominous vocal samples ("It may be an accidental side effect of the drug"), the future takes on a slightly more dystopian feel with Redshape's melancholic strings, unpredictable percussion builds and a lingering, creeping reinterpretation of the track's original melodies. A definitive nod to the epic work of Derrick May and Carl Craig, with a hint of Kenny Larkin's intricate builds.

Estate Law
Estate Law Questions? Ask an Estate Lawyer.
Yes, she is on Medicaid. As her POA I would have her decertified, pay her expenses, then recertify her if she survives her assets. I'm interested in potential of protection of assets in the event she dies before the assets are exhausted.
Here it may be possible to set up a special needs or other medicaid trust.This would allow her to shelter funds while maintaining eligibility.You are going to need a local NAELA lawyer to help you set this up and then the funds are transferred to the trust to avoid denial of eligibility.NAELA--national academy of elder lawyers are specially trained to create such trusts and make sure the funds are received into the trust and there is no loss of eligibility.Another option would be to get the executor to hold back any payments while she is alive and then her heirs here either by will or law would take the inheritance.That way she remains eligible and the state cannot seek any recovery since it passes straight ot the heirs.Usually the executor doesn't want to hold the funds indefinitely but I have seen this done as well.But it would be critical to have the trust set up prior to her receiving funds.Otherwise it makes her financially ineligible here and she would have to spend down virtually all of it to regain eligibility as a private pay resident.Another possible option is that the lawyer can have executor purchase an annuity with her funds.This gives her monthly income below the limits and again preserves eligibility.The botXXXXX XXXXXne is that time is short if you want to avoid loss of benefits.The NAELA lawyer can help you shelter the inheritance.Pleas use the referral I gave you so that this can be done prior to any payment being received.If she cases a check without such a trust again they will deny her benefits.I appreciate your patience tonight.Please let me know if you have more follow up.Thanks again and good luck here.
A will will not protect her it has to be a trust, annuity or other shelter before she touches the money.NAELA..http://www.naela.org/Public/About/For_More_Information/Find_an_Elder_Lawyer/Public/About_NAELA/Public_or_Consumer/Find_an_Elder_Lawyer/Find_an_Elder_Lawyer.aspx?hkey=01d28480-72a3-4294-8d32-554931fc26b4


text: Hi all, Unfortunately I can´t post a picture at this moment, but I´ll try to accurately describe the problem. The shoulders of all my suits and odd jackets seem to fit all wrong. Of course, I didn´t realise that until after I bought them and started getting interested in the art of dressing well. My shoulders seem to push into the front of the jacket. In turn, I have some extra space in the back of the shoulders. This is, most likely, due to the fact that my shoulders "lean" forward a bit. I have quite good posture, but it´s just the way my shoulder bone is formed. Especially in one of my unlined sports coats you can see my shoulders pushing through the fabric, and the shoulder of the jacket is slight behind my actual shoulder. Wow...never said shoulder that many times. My question is, is there any way of fixing this? If so, how and will this be extremely expensive? Also, if I have a bespoke suit made, will a suit maker take this into account? It gets a bit uncomfortable, especially after a day of wearing jackets that are already a bit snug in the first place.

I'm a bit of a noobie at "complex" setups but here's my problem, if anyone
can help I'd be hugely grateful as this is causing me a major headache.
We have 2 servers, BOX1 & BOX2, as well as m0n0wall installed on an old OLD
box doing nothing but m0n0wall.
On BOX2 we have email and web server, on BOX1 we have our version control
software, the problem is, until last thursday everything was on the single
box, anyway, our version control software also uses port 80, as does our web
server (apache 2.2.4) on BOX1.
How can I get it so that e.g.
VCS.DOMAIN.COM:80 will work correctly on BOX1 and,
ANYTHINGELSE.DOMAIN.COM:80 will work correctly on BOX2
Currently domains are setup correctly under DNS forwarding, however under
Firewall RULES and NAT, both point port 80 to BOX2, is there a way I can get
port 80 to point to both boxes under certain circumstances or indeed an
advance rule?
There must be some way to do it, E.G. a further rule that says ...
If incoming domain request eq VCS.DOMAIN.COM:80 then point to BOX1 else BOX2
Thanks for this, my MD is going crazy at me for not finding this our before
we installed the new box, so anything you can help with would be great.

> Is there any way, we can apply bandwidth restriction to HTTP
> DOWNLOAD without restricting the General Browsing ( eg.
> google, hotmail, yahoomail, etc, )?.
I think the only way you'd be able to do this is by using a proxy for web
browsing. I do something similar to what you're trying to do using squid on
a separate machine. Squid has a wonderfully well-commented .conf file so
configuring it isn't particularly difficult. You've got 2 options here:
1) Configure squid to prevent a user getting more than x bytes downloaded
per connection. Then, configure your users' browsers to use squid for web
browsing and tell 'em to use something else for downloads. I use getright,
but there are plenty of other download tools out there. You should be able
to write an autoconfiguration script that'll automatically bypass the proxy
for common download file types (zip, exe, rar, etc.)
2) Configure a squid acl to reject any http requests for download file types
and present the user with an error page telling them they need to bypass the
proxy to download files of this type. (note, if you've got the autoconfig
script set up properly the user will rarely if ever see this page, since the
autoconfig will have already told the browser to bypass the proxy for that
Whichever approach you take, you now need to tell m0n0wall what's going on.
Personally I just prioritize all traffic from the Squid machine above the
rest of the network, but if you *only* expect your users to be doing web
browsing, you could class anything else as really low priority.
I'll be the first to admit it's an inelegant solution, but it does work
reasonably well.

The pain is sharp, directly between my breasts. Putting pressure on the area does not relieve the pain. Have had this pain pretty constant for the last 2 weeks. Can't find anything to relieve it. This is the first time I have had a pain like this.
I do have a grandbaby that weighs 18 lbs now. I carry him around a lot. Not sure if this would have anything to do with this or not..it is the only thing different I can think of.
I have also gained about 10 pounds in the last 2 months, would this affect anything like this??

Katy Perry Nearly Robs Rihanna
Is Katy Perry about to find herself in another high-profile chanteuse catfight?
Yahoo reports that the "I Kissed a Girl" singer, 24, received—and was quickly stripped of—an award that was intended for Rihanna at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France, on Saturday.
Ouch! And all this while Perry is still trying to get over her breakup with Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy. Poor gal.
Perry was initially granted the International Song of the Year award for her jaunty tune "I Kissed a Girl." However, at the end of the event, the show's host announced that there was a mistake in the vote-counting process, and the award instead went to 20-year-old singer Rihanna (born Robyn Rihanna Fenty) for "Disturbia."
Wow; all the chaos and drama of a Minnesota Senatorial race, combined with the glamour of Cannes. It must have been quite a night!
Perry didn't completely lose out, though; she did snag Best International Album honors for One of the Boys.
Hey; at least she had a little bit of recognition to fall back on.

Robert E. Fleming 1931 – 2011
WARREN - Robert E. Fleming, 80, of Warren, died Sunday, Dec. 25, 2011, at Hospice House in Poland.
He was born July 31, 1931, in Ashland, Ky., the son of Claude E. Fleming and Stella Louise Day Fleming.
Robert E. Fleming came to Warren in 1958 as the director of bands at Warren G. Harding High School. He proceeded to establish an outstanding band program that became the model for high school bands.
Mr. Fleming then became the director of bands at Youngstown State University. The marching band and concert bands immediately exhibited the visual excitement and outstanding musical qualities that had become his trademark.
After his retirement at YSU, Mr. Fleming became a professor of music and director of bands at Hiram College. His teaching excellence and commitment to concert bands continued as he developed a College-Community Concert Band that was exemplary in every respect.
Robert retired from the W.D. Packard Concert Band on July 25, 2004. He joined the band in 1959, performing on the trumpet, and became co-conductor in 1983. He also has directed the Big Band Sound of Packard, the Packard Jazz Quintet and the Packard Dixieland Band.
The W.D. Packard Concert Band Executive Board and the Packard Park Board of Trustees have conferred upon Mr. Fleming the honorary designation of Conductor Laureate and Conductor Emeritus. In his honor, the Robert E. Fleming Concerto Competition has been established to present outstanding high school musicians as soloist with the W.D. Packard Concert Band and earn a scholarship for study at the college level.
Mr. Fleming also was instrumental in developing the Top Notes in 1961.
Surviving are his wife, Shirley Ann Fleming of Warren; two sons, James Robert (Joanne) Fleming of Canfield and Mark (Sherri) Fleming of Warren; granddaughter, Patricia (Thomas) Krewson; great-grandson, Connor Krewson; and granddaughters, Jennifer Martin and Jacquelyn Martin; and great-grandchildren, Chuck, Cassie and Tiana.
Friends may call 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the McFarland & Son Funeral Home. A private family graveside burial will be held at Rose Hill Burial Park, Ashland, Ky., with the Rev. Harvey officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to American Cancer Society, www.cancer.org, and Hospice House, 9803 Sharrot Road, Poland, OH 44514
Arrangements are entrusted to McFarland & Son Funeral Services Co., 271 N. Park Ave., Warren, OH 44481. Please visit www.mcfarlandcares.com to view this obituary and send condolences.

Harding Honors Former Director
WARREN - A surprise to anyone who had him as a band director: Robert Fleming's own band director was a pretty intimidating guy.
"My high school band director was a tyrant, but he was a good man, and I learned a lot from him," Warren's legendary band director said last week during an interview in his home. He was honored Sunday with a concert and dedication of the Harding band shell.
Band director John Lewis of Ashland High School in Kentucky recruited Fleming from the minors, so to speak. Fleming said Lewis picked him out of the seventh grade musicians to play with the older school band. For the lack of a better practice space, Fleming practiced with his first trumpet inside the school's boiler room.
Shows under Lewis were intense, disciplined things. Fleming remembers walking to the school for a basketball game one day. There was a light drizzle, and he had his band uniform on. When Lewis lined the band up for inspection, he noticed some rain spots on Fleming's uniform and sent him home.
But, according to Fleming, who spent a dedication ceremony in his honor on Sunday thanking everyone who helped him through his long career in music, that was a valuable experience. And years later, Fleming had the opportunity to give his old band director a gift for his birthday, a recording of one of his bands. Fleming watched as the hardened band director teared up.
This probably shouldn't be interpreted as a student-becoming-the-master story, because Fleming also pointed out that Lewis began that meeting by claiming he could still play high C on the trumpet better than Fleming could.
Then he pulled out a trumpet and proved it.
Students with the Warren G. Harding music department had a concert in Fleming's honor Sunday at the high school cafetorium. The ceremony was to dedicate the Robert E. Fleming band shell on the high school football field. Fleming, when accepting his honors, thanked several people who have helped him. For example, he wanted to thank Barney McCauley for his support of the band shell.
He said during the interview at his home last week that he learned an "awful lot" from working with different band directors, musicians, students and music fans over the years.
"I love all the schools I taught at. I love all of my students, no matter how hard I treated them. But I especially love the W.D. Packard Concert Band. ... Warren has been good to me," he said during the dedication ceremony.
Fleming became director of bands at Harding in 1958 and established a band program that was modeled by others throughout the country. Under his direction, the Panther Marching Band achieved national acclaim, performing at football half-time shows and on national television. He was with the school district until 1968.
"He impacted band music and performance throughout not only Ohio but the United States," said district Superintendent Kathryn Hellweg at Sunday's dedication.
Fleming was also the director of bands at Youngstown State University. Following his retirement there, he became professor of music and director of bands at Hiram College.
The W.D. Packard Concert Band Executive Board and Packard Park Board of Trustees conferred upon Fleming the designation of Conductor Laureate and Conductor Emeritus.
In preparing for Sunday's honors, Fleming got to practice with the band. He directed one song, "The Star-Spangled Banner," during the concert. He also had some advice for current students: Don't be afraid of making mistakes.
"If you're going to make a mistake, be like Burger King, make it a whopper. Everyone makes mistakes. I know I've made plenty," he said, noting that sometimes student musicians tend to hold back while playing, so if they make a mistake it will be less obvious.
And though the band shell now - officially, anyway - carries his name, the former band director seemed to be proud that his legacy was being carried on in other ways: in his students that have gone on to be teachers or musicians on their own. Looking around the district's music facilities, he thinks the next generation of musicians are in good hands.
"The desire is still there to have a fine band," he said.

Top Notes pay tribute to big band era
By ANDY GRAY Tribune Chronicle
July 10, 2008
The last of the Dixie Docs is counting off the beat for The Top Notes.
The long-running local dance/big band got its start in 1960 as the Dixie Docs, a band filled with doctors who also were musicians. Its first performance was a holiday party sponsored by the county
Medical Society.
Dr. John Vlad was part of that original band and has been the one constant as it evolved into the The Top Notes under original bandleader Hank Suchanek and later under the direction of Robert E. Fleming. Vlad, who plays saxophone and clarinet, became music director in the mid-'90s and will lead the band when it performs
at the Warren Community Amphitheatre as part of the Summer Night Specials series presented by the
Fine Arts Council of Trumbull County
Dr. John Vlad at the Warren Community Amphitheatre on July 12, 2008
�As the only original doctor member there, the others in the band thought it would be a good idea for me to continue on (as director) if I wanted the job,� Vlad said. �It's no challenge because the people in the band are excellent. They know what they are there to do, and all I have to do is count off the beat.�
Vlad credited Fleming for making the band what it is
. As the doctors dropped out, Fleming replaced them them with his students from Dana School of Music, many of whom went on to become band directors in the area and continue to play with the Top Notes.
Since the
concert lineup at the amphitheatre has been dominated by classic rock tribute bands, Vlad decided to continue that with The Top Notes' concert.
�We're going to make it a tribute to all of the big bands,� Vlad said. �We�ll do music from all of the popular big bands, starting in the 1930s and '40s and up to the present time.�
The crowd can expect to hear songs by Count Basie, Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, Les Brown, Harry James and Stan Kenton, and The Top Notes will even do a song by Jimmy Buffett.
�We have a very large library of music and we try to stay current with current arrangements of all the old tunes,� Vlad said. �It�s a diverse group. We're not stuck on just playing dance music. We play jazz, swing and also current songs.�
Vlad said he has seen big band music grow and wane in popularity during his musical career, and he believes its enjoying a resurgence now.
�This type of music hasn't been in the fore all the time, but it keeps sticking its head back in,� he said. �The show �Dancing with the Stars� has brought it back.�

As a working mother of four, Senator Buono has dedicated herself to ensuring the welfare of New Jersey's families. She knows first-hand the struggles of balancing home and work lives, as well as the pressures of getting children off to day-care and school.
Senator Buono is making sure our children are able to learn -- safely, securely and with the best chance to get ahead in life. That's why she authored New Jersey's School Funding Reform Act, which ensures that every child receives a quality education regardless of where they live. Senator Buono also sponsored the bill requiring criminal background checks for childcare workers and established the Commission on Bullying In Schools. She strengthened the state's anti-bullying laws to keep parents better informed of the protections their children are entitled to and imposing penalties for non-enforcement. Buono was also responsible for writing the law establishing a School Violence Prevention Week in every New Jersey school, as well as legislation prohibiting schools from posting personal student information on their websites.
Whether making sure our children are safe on their bus ride to school, expanding healthcare to make it more accessible and affordable or developing an action plan for schools and communities, Senator Buono always looks out for our families.
Buono has also been a consistently strong advocate for women, their health and their safety. She has reformed New Jersey's stalking laws to protect victims, and she authored a bill establishing a public awareness campaign regarding domestic violence. Senator Buono also fully supports access to safe and legal family planning and to reproductive health services and education.
Barbara Buono always puts our families first. She helped usher the Paid Family Leave Act through the State Senate. This law provides parents and family members with newborns financial security and protection to care for loved ones. Buono also sponsored the bill requiring employer notification to workers regarding temporary disability benefits. In 1995, as an Assemblywoman, Buono authored legislation requiring insurance companies to cover at least a 48-hour hospital stay for mothers giving birth -- ending so-called "drive-through deliveries" here in New Jersey.

The graves of Captain Scott and his companions are not in a fixed position but on an ice shelf which is slowly moving towards the sea
Sir, Captain Scott and his two companions do not quite lie where they died (letter, Dec 21); during the last 100 years they have moved on. Their last camp was on the Ross Ice Shelf, afloat on the Ross Sea, where the ice is approximately 110m thick. The bodies are moving slowly towards the ice front, while being buried ever deeper as snow accumulates. They have already travelled about 60km and will reach the sea 350km away, in the year 2470, about 560 years after the journey began.

Agriturismo Baglio Donnafranca Wine Resort
Top Boutique Hotel
The views of Erice is great and food as well GPS gives misleading directions to Baglio Donna Franca (across the vineyard)
Relaxing atmosphere, hospitality is outstanding. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast.
Very nice and fresh location. friendly staff, and extremely convenient when we had an early take off the next morning the rooms were a bit small, and even though the route descriptions for the hotell are very easy, are there very few sings for the airport.
Luxurious room in wine-cellar style. Very quiet location, close to the airport. An own car is recommended. We luckily looked up the location on a map before arrival. Other guests told us that navigation systems would not contain the exact location, but well a neighbor street. From the hotel you can see the coast and the vineyards. Well english spoken reception. Good medium-price restaurant with home-grown wine. The room lights are dim and the window is small (but hey, its a wine cellar ambiente!). Warm water failed one night. That might be due to strong winds that day (storm at night).
New installations, good size of rooms and bathrooms. Internet in rooms, kindness of personel and very helpful. No Air Conditioner, breakfast was not very good, not a lot of options to chose.
Fantastic rural location in a vineyard with spectacular views . Very helpful staff with some english spoken. Nice large comfortable bedrooms, impresive stone buildings and courtyards. Although I would say a beautiful quiet spot for adults to relax they were child friendly and the remote location made it safe for them to run around. This hotel only has 16 bedrooms so it is not overflowing with staff but what they do have are very kind, warm and helpful. Continental breakfast was good with fresh coffees made to order. No lunch was available when we were there but most guests go out for the day. Dinner was good and their own wine was 10 and 12 euros so very reasonable. Soft drinks/water in bedroom fridge were complimentary. No lunch served but I understood as there was little demand. Pool was very cold but I was delighted to find it was still open for my grandaughter.
Staff, food and facilities
Excellent restaurant, very friendly and helpful staff, tranquil hilltop location, great coastal views. Unaware it was 10km from Marsala and hire car essential
The atmosphere was wonderful. Peaceful and quiet place in the middle of vineyards. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice room. Delicious dinner.
The entire experience. This hotel is very hard to find.

Response to
I think you answered your own question.
As Jim says - think back through - why do you
to tell her?
Is it because you suspect she will treat you inappropriately in a "hand job" or "blow job"?
Well, if the Name of the Game is casual blow jobs, being a "safe" substitute for uncommitted intercourse and that is indeed what you expect to do, well apart from getting moving
right know
with the stretching we describe here, you probably
have either to risk being "manhandled", or
to her that your foreskin does not come back and requires a
different and more careful form of attention.
Can't have it all - or at least, not in a hurry. Are you starting with the stretching now?

We really enjoyed our stay at Funky Fes! Mohammed (I hope I spelled it right) checked us in, and was incredibly gracious, polite, and kind. Give that man a raise! All other staff members that we encountered were equally as helpful and friendly. The location was just on the edge of the medina, and a short walk to many of the cultural hotspots. We both felt very safe and comfortable in our private suite, which came at a VERY affordable price. Thanks for everything Funky Fes!

BART Cummings is quietly gaining confidence in his bid for a 13th Melbourne Cup win with a most unlikely horse - the little-known German galloper Illo.
The 83-year-old master was initially deflated when he first saw Illo, who flew into Melbourne from London on September 24. His first impressions were that the horse was small and slight, but he was full of smiles when the six-year-old stallion galloped with partner Cosmonaut at Moonee Valley yesterday.
And bookmakers are keeping the horse relatively safe in the Cup market at $31.
''There's no problem,'' Cummings said. ''He's put on 18 kilograms and he'll be 20 [kilograms heavier] before he runs [on Saturday].
''It doesn't say much for the Poms and the way they feed them.
''He looks better, too. He ran a mile-and-a-half [2400 metres] at evens, running home his last three [furlongs, or 600 metres] in 38 seconds. What more do you need?''
Cummings asked his trusty sounding board and longtime track rider Joe Agresta what he thought of the gallop when Agresta returned the entire to his stall.
But stony-faced Agresta has been around long enough to say too much in front of the press. ''He's not going to say anything while you blokes are here,'' Cummings said.
The trainer is relying on Illo to step up and show his wares as the stable is light on for Melbourne Cup horses this spring.
At this point, with second acceptances still to be taken, Cummings would have a healthy handful of hopefuls, but this year just the moody gelding Precedence, who won the Moonee Valley Cup last year, and Illo, are likely contenders.
Illo makes his Australian debut on Saturday in the Moonee Valley Cup in a run that will indicate whether the Melbourne Cup is a pipe dream for the horse part-owned by Richard Pegum, who also part-owns December Draw and the injured weight-for-age horse My Kingdom Of Fife.
Illo has never started outside of Germany where his form has been reasonable at best in 15 starts.
He only became fully qualified for the Melbourne Cup at his most recent start in July with a listed win over 2400 metres. But that win was considered good enough for him to be handicapped at 53 kilograms for the Cup - half a kilogram more than last year's Epsom Derby runner-up At First Sight.
Illo is assured of a Melbourne Cup run, being 27th in order and sure to rise. Steven Arnold is set to ride Illo on Saturday but as he has just 53 kilograms in the Melbourne Cup, Cummings will need another rider for the $6.2 million race.
Melbourne Cup-winning rider Michael Rodd was yesterday confirmed as the rider for Ed Dunlop's visiting stayer Red Cadeaux in this year's race.
Follow The Age From The Track on Twitter for betting updates, tips, results and news from this year's Spring Racing Carnival. We'll be kicking things off on Cox Plate Day this Saturday, with full coverage to come on Derby Day, Melbourne Cup Day, Oaks Day and Emirates Stakes Day. @AgeFromTheTrack

The 6-foot-5, 220-pounder, who has a 3.7 GPA and is rated as a three-star prospect by Rivals.com, gave his recent official visit to Stanford high marks.
"I had a lot of fun," Jackson said.
When reached via telephone moments ago, Jackson was checking into a hotel in Chapel Hill, N.C.. He's on an official to UNC as we speak.
As you can imagine, Jackson didn't have much time to talk.
But, he did say he isn't quite ready to name a leader.
Jackson's top eight includes Stanford, Iowa State, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ole Miss, USF, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest.
