Governor Denies Veto Mistake
A he said, she said is playing out at the Texas State Capitol where Houston Democrat John Whitmire accuses Governor Rick Perry of vetoing the wrong bill.
Whitmire's bill would have limited the number of truancy tickets handed out to students in lieu of counseling and other measures.
"In Houston we found a 14-year-old girl got a ticket because she wasn't coming to school, they went to her home and found she was pregnant and had no maternity clothes," Whitmire tells KTRH News.
"That's not a crime, she has a problem we should deal with to assist her to attend school," he says.
"I understand how serious truancy is, you've got to get kids to school or they're going to get behind a drop out," says Whitmire. "You don't write them a $500 ticket with an $80 court cost which solves nothing, often times they're already broke."
Rich Parsons, a spokesperson at the governor's office insists there was no veto mistake. He pointed out several conflicts of codes between Whitmire's bill and companion legislation.
"The governor's decision was made after a very thorough, thoughtful and deliberative process in determining the best process going forward," Parsons told KTRH News.
Whitmire plans to re-introduce his measure next session.

"Alice Cottage stands facing the sea, surrounded by pasture, with generous space to the left and to the right: An airy fence is all that stands between you and a golden beach, clean of trash, easy to walk and swim in. Easy to forget everything in.
The beach it stands on is one of the prettiest in southern Jamaica, a convenient 10 min drive south of the other Treasure Beach restaurants and bars. The community surrounding the beach is one of the safest in Jamaica, an intact village where everyone knows everyone and noone locks the doors to their houses.
The house is a impeccably clean, simple cottage with a very nice veranda towards the sea, three spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The house does not have air-conditioning, but we did not find this to be in any way uncomfortable. There is always a gentle breeze around and all bedrooms have mosquito netted windows on two sides for the breeze to enter. The kitchen is large and has everything you could need.
Marsha cooks divine Jamaican and international dishes, for instance barbecue lobster and fresh fish (her husband is a fishermen!). Aunt Sally is a local community authority and an can organize drivers to explore nearby waterfalls, mountain hills, the amazing sea-food temple "Little Ochie" and much more. The two of them offer the warm interactions with local Jamaicans that should be part of any trip to this amazing island with its amazing people.
The experience at Allice cottage is a little like the barbecue lobsters: prepared in an unassuming simple way, it boasts incredible natural luxuries. You won't find pool or jacuzzi, but you will find a devine sky over a generous pristine beach, Marshas gentle genuine smiles, her warm care and fresh meals with fresh fruits, walks along the beach and chats with local fishermen, etc."

"You forget that I do not know the name of the lady in the yashmak," objected Alexander.
He kissed his mother and then caressed the hair under the cap of the yashmak.
The lady of the yashmak, he informed me, was a member of the household of a wealthy Moslem in the neighborhood of Damascus.
She lowered her yashmak and looked at him with burning eyes.
yashmak, yash′mak, n. the double veil worn by Moslem women in public, the eyes only being uncovered.
Here you, my dear, Emruld, put your yashmak up a bit higher.
On her head she wore a white turban; from her forehead a veil, or yashmak, of purple wool fell down to her shoulders.
Which scarce her yashmak serves to hide, see Turkey gliding past.
Beside her a tall slender figure, in black tcharchaf and yashmak, made its appearance.
Despite the gloom of the place and the yashmak which she wore, it was manifest that she was good to look upon.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
Thank you.
It is possible that you might have a corneal ulcer. This is commonly happens when you sleep in your contact lenses and then have a red, painful eye.
How do I know and what is treatment??
This is really something that needs to be evaluated and possibly treated before the morning......does your eye doctor have someone oncall for her practice.
I have used eye drops from Whole Foods and Soothe too.
The only way to know is to have a slit lamp exam by an eye doctor. Treatment consists of prescription drops.
No, I will have to wait till tomorrow to call them.
Ya....those drops just won't do it.
How long has your eye been hurting and red?
Well, I will call tomorrow as I work 1/2 day and will have to do it after that. Can this affect my vision? I have my old glasses on. It has been red and hurting since yesterday afternoon.
Yes. This can affect your vision. I've even had a patient a few years ago who had to have her eyeball removed due to a serious corneal ulcer.
From what you have said I do not believe you are infected with the same, nasty, bacteria she had, but -- when it comes to eye infections -- the sooner treatment is started, the better things turn out in the end.
I do understand that and already have a scheduled appointment for next week but will call tomorrow and hopefully get in then. Thank you as I agree with you about the NOT having an infection as all was fine till I wore my contacts to bed and rubbed my eyes.
My advice is to go to the ER is there is no other option to obtain care tonight. You might say "but this has been already going on for a day...what's the rush?"
Well, maybe there is no rush, but as I've said, in the course of over two decades of working as an eye surgeon, I've seen enough disasters to be afraid of waiting....
Well, I DO have to wait. Probably not what a doctor wants to hear but I will wait till tomorrow.
You probably scratched your eye when you rubbed it, which gave the bacteria a place to get started and now you have, most likely, a corneal ulcer.
I fully understand :-)
I will get off here now and thank you for your help.
My pleasure. I wish you the very best.

Vatican's top ex-cop on abuse: Mahony must 'decide in conscience'
John Allen: In an interview with an Italian newspaper, Bishop Charles Scicluna said Cardinal Roger Mahony made mistakes and will have to decide if he will vote in the conclave.
John Allen: In an interview with an Italian newspaper, Bishop Charles Scicluna said Cardinal Roger Mahony made mistakes and will have to decide if he will vote in the conclave.
John Allen in Rome: Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet has the brains, the languages and the life experience to be pope.
NCR Today: John Allen wrote about Cardinal Peter Turkson's chances of becoming pope but made one omission: Turkson's beliefs on homosexuality.
Small tents don't work in national elections -- that's one of big lessons from the vote in November and one Catholic leadership may want to consider heading into the upcoming papal election.
The November ballot may have marked the "end of a Catholic Moment," according to Ross Douthat, a Catholic and right-of-center columnist for The New York Times.
John Allen in Rome: Cardinal Roger Mahony has become a symbol of the church's failures on the sexual abuse scandals, and his participation in the papal election is stirring controversy.
John Allen in Rome: Today, meet Cardinal Peter Turkson, who figures prominently on the short list of possible African candidates for pope.
John Allen in Rome: For the first time, an American pope seems thinkable, and Cardinal Sean O'Malley has gotten surprising buzz.
Vote: Who do you think will be chosen to lead the world's 1.2 billion Catholics after the next conclave?
John Allen in Rome: One of the men most talked about as the next potential pope is Cardinal Angelo Scola, but does he have what it takes?
John Allen in Rome: The Vatican spokesperson says there's a chance conclave could begin before the usual 15-20 day waiting period.

Many prescription and nonprescription medicines can cause
symptoms related to the nervous system. A few examples are:
Nervous system problems are often side effects or symptoms of overuse
of prescription and nonprescription medicines. Almost every drug is capable of
producing nervous system problems. Be sure to review a complete list of all
your medicines, both prescription and nonprescription, with your doctor or pharmacist. Medicines can also interact with each other and
cause problems.
Frequent use of nonprescription medicine to control a troublesome
symptom should also be discussed with your doctor. Symptoms such
as headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision may be a sign that further
evaluation is needed.

Like most times in life, when you lie you are only punished when you are caught. This is no different with lying on your car insurance application. Most people will lie about drivers living in their home, claim they have no accidents or tickets and state they have prior car insurance all in the name of getting a cheaper rate. Some of these people actually think they are smart but little do they know that insurance companies hire underwriters that pull reports based on your driving history. These reports show everything from claims history such as at-fault accidents to how many and what types of tickets you have. These reports can also be used to infer how many drivers are in the household.
How they Catch You
For example, if you are a 55 year old married male, it is likely you have a wife that drives and even more likely you have children that drive as well. The underwriter will need clarification from either you or your broker on how many drivers are in the household. In addition, your driving history known as an Autoplus report will not only show the prior insurance policies you have had but also show the names and driver's licence numbers of any drivers on your prior policies and accidents they may have had. Thus, making it incredibly easy to discover any misrepresentations you may make.
What are the Consequences?
The consequences of lying to insurance company depends on when the lie is caught. If it is caught during the underwriting process which is when you send your application in for approval, you will either be asked to provide an explanation for the misrepresentation or be cancelled for failing to provide information. If however your lie is caught when you are involved in a claim, you may be cancelled for misrepresentation which would make it very difficult for you to find insurance elsewhere. You also may have your claim denied and could also be charged with insurance fraud.
I've Been Caught, What Should I Do?
It depends if they are cancelling you for misrepresentation or insurance fraud. If you are cancelled for insurance fraud you are pretty much screwed as no standard insurance company will insure you. You'll have to find a broker who specializes in placing non-standard risks, which simply means bad drivers. Yes even though you lied on your application, you are now lumped in with all the bad drivers. Expect to pay as much as 50 to 100% on your car insurance.
The same is true with being cancelled for misrepresentation except you'll have more options of which insurer you can go with. Don't forget to tell your new insurance company what you've been cancelled for as they will ask you on the application. You absolutely positively do not want to lie again otherwise you can pretty much kiss your car goodbye.
It's Not Worth It
Is it worth lying to your car insurance company? In the end, it's probably not a good idea to lie to your insurance company as they have access to all types of sophisticated reports that can find out the truth about your driving history, claims, tickets and even credit score. You'll also have to consider the financial burden and stress you'll have to endure as a result of being caught.

All crew are accounted for, no injuries reported and communication with the vessel is ongoing. Tug boats with fire-fighting capability remain on the scene fighting the fire.

Tyga was arrested this weekend in Las Vegas after cops discovered he had a warrant out for his arrest.
According to TMZ, it was during a routine traffic stop that cops discovered the "Rack City" rapper had a warrant for four other traffic incidents, including driving without a license, registration violations and unlawful acts of financial responsibility.
The 22-year-old Compton rapper was arrested, booked and jailed at the Clark County Detention Center. He was released the next day on his own recognizance.

Tyga's album, Careless World, will be released January 24. —Gina Montana

Great technology gifts don't need to cost a fortune. You can find fantastic tech toys for everyone on your list for about $50. Here are some of my favorites.
Let's start with the kids. They love remote control helicopters. So, why not give the child on your list something even better? Wowwee's Bladestar ($40) flies and hovers like a helicopter. But it's designed for indoor use. Sensors prevent it from crashing into walls.
TECH TIPS: Ask Kim
It can even be guided with your hands. Pair two Bladestars and you can have an in-air dogfight.
What do road warriors want more than anything else? Something to remind them of the comforts of home. HP's DF300A1 portable photo frame ($55) features a sharp 3.5-inch screen. It accepts a variety of memory cards and has a rechargeable battery.
Go the extra yard and include photos with the frame. Load the internal memory with up to 45 photos. Or, put the photos on a memory card.
Shopping for a true geek is never easy. So, get them something they'll use. A Mimobot flash drive combines fun and practicality. These designer flash drives are shaped like fictional characters. Many are limited editions.
I recommend a Star Wars Mimobot. For example, choose a 2-gigabyte Luke Skywalker or Boba Fett for $50. Nothing appeals to geeks like Star Wars.
Few things improve photographs like a tripod. Tripods prevent blurring associated with shaky hands and allow long exposures. Your favorite photographer probably has a full-sized tripod. But, you can give one that attaches to virtually anything.
Joby's Gorillapod has flexible legs that wrap around objects. There are several versions of the Gorillapod for different camera types. Buy one for a point and shoot for about $20. You'll spend $45 on one that works with an SLR and zoom lens.
Give your favorite runner the Nike+ iPod Sport Kit ($30). It connects to an Apple iPod Nano to track running time, calories burned and more. If your runner doesn't have a Nano, consider the Nike+ SportBand ($60). It offers the same features, but no iPod is required.
Nike+ only works with specially designed shoes. That is, unless you throw in Switcheasy's RunAway Anyshoe Adapter ($10). It works with any lace-up shoes.
Grandma may not use the computer much, but that will change when you buy her a webcam. A webcam will let her and Granddad video chat with the grandkids.
Logitech's QuickCam Communicate MP ($50) works with all major instant-messaging services. RightLight technology improves image quality. And there's also a built-in microphone.
Additionally, the Communicate MP's Fun Filters add fun effects to video chats.
Many music lovers have iPods. And there's one feature missing from all iPods: FM radio. Apple's iPod Radio Remote ($50) fixes this omission. It adds FM reception to the iPod Classic and Nano. It also doubles as a remote control.
For older iPods or the iPod Touch, consider Griffin's iFM ($50). It provides similar features.
Buying gamers new games is a bad idea unless you check to be sure you're not selecting games they already have or games that are incompatible with their game systems. But Jakks Atari Classics ($20) is perfect for gamers young and old. It looks like an old-school Atari joystick, but it contains 10 classic games like Centipede, Asteroids and Pong.
If in doubt about a gift, let the recipient decide. Gift cards are always welcome. Both traditional stores and online merchants offer gift certificates. You can also buy them at your local grocery or convenience store.
Exercise caution this year, though. Like the rest of us, retailers face tough times. Don't buy gift cards from retailers that are going out of business.

no you dont, looks like your other stuff...remove the uglyness on the d, do a normal kinda e, do not connect just two letters at least not the way you did it. try to paint more smoothly..
My stuff is still very toy but I'm trying.
Goms: I like that silver wost. I think you can leave the length on the T if you put a similar piece on the W to give it some symetry.
Debut: I'm liking this better than your previous work. Clean it up a bit. I agree with disconnecting the U and T. Keep it up. I like that B a lot.

thanks for the crits norfsuthr. I normally don't listen to phil because he sucks. I know I'm whack, but I also know that I'm constantly trying harder and harder to progress. Definitely not gonna let someone that paints 100 times less than I do bring me down.
Phil talks to my e-hand right now, so he get e-gnored
but thanks for the comments, guys
Yep, I paint 100x less than you do because I don't post it on Bombingscience.
anyway, your letters have bad structure, are flared incorrectly, those thin spaghetti lines going around your letters look stupid and have no flow, your drips are going in the wrong direction, as well as not looking anything like drips (look at some real drips to get an understanding of how they clump together to drip, instead of dripping individually. It'll help you a LOT), the H's shoes look too different from each other, as well as being different sizes without perspective difference in the letters, The anarchy A is hilariously overplayed, boring, and hypocritical, especially because you're some fat fuck who moderates a graffiti forum with an iron fist wrapped around your limp dick. Your T is too covered up, as well as having too much dead space, and the kink flips in the wrong direction. You should have it facing another way in order to accentuate flow. Your 2 also has bad structure, your outline is boring, those drips are GODAWFUL, and those quote things on the left and right of your piece throw off your flow even more.
No, I wasn't fucking with him. His graffiti sucks total dick since the first time I saw it. The only good thing I can say about this piece is that the fill is simple enough to not make me want to vomit everywhere.
phil speaks da truth. phat you got really good control but the pieces are wack as fuck
yep phats shit is pretty wack he needs to drop only simples for a year then move on from there
my e-hand is listening, phil... keep going.
I know you paint 100x less because you posted a flick of one of your painted bullshit once. and gooood was it dissapointing... with all the smartass comments, wise cracks and good shit you post from your blackbook, one would assume that you'd be some kind of god at ACTUAL graffiti. Your wall practice is zero my man. out here giving crits on theory, when you should be practicing your application instead. come preach to me about flow and techniques when you've got some proper outdoor skills yourself... for real, looks are decieving.
but after all was said, I appreciate that you've made the effort to actually write that little paragraph... I thought you weren't gonna be provoked into hating and ultimately, critting. I love it when shit works.
and of course, behind every old user on here, comes a pack of dick sucking, ass kissing lackeys providing useless and unnecessary hate support for some e-fame

A group of residents are up in arms after receiving fines for parking on the access to their drives, something they have been doing for up to 40 years.
Several car owners on Riddlesdown Road, in Purley, woke up on September 22 to find their cars had been ticketed.
Residents say this is the first time they have ever received a ticket for parking on the access to their drives.
The tickets were issued for parking on a footpath but residents claim they have never been informed that putting their cars there was illegal.
Richard Swiatkiewicz, 45, said the decision to give tickets out was bizarre and that parking on the road was not a good alternative.
He said: "I have been living here eight years and I have never been given a ticket.
"If I park on the road I basically block my neighbours in their drive as the road is so narrow.
"Croydon Council want us to park on the road, but the way I was parked was not blocking anybody, it was not doing any harm. I don't see what the benefit of it is, apart from making money.
"I have basically been fined for parking in front of my house."
Pat Sellar, 83, has lived on the road for 43 years said there should have been more communication from the council. He said: "For the council to suddenly plaster a fine on your windscreen without any prior warning, it is not the way to behave is it? This is downright crass.
"If there is a change in the regulations, then tell us."
Simon Collins, 34, has lived in Riddlesdown Road for seven years and parked his car at the same spot each night.
He said: "We have never been told what we were doing was wrong. There has never been any communication from the council about it.
"I can't understand that after years and years of living here, they have suddenly decided to give out tickets."
A council spokesman said: "It is against parking regulations to park on a footpath or verge unless there are signs and lines indicating that it is allowed."

Even Eddie Jordan can't watch the mess he's made of this team. The Philadelphia 76ers are legitimately one of the worst teams in the NBA right now and with each game played under this buffoon they're moving further and further away from legitimacy. Last night's drubbing in Utah was a perfect example.
Let's kick things off with the graphs and a few notes on each:
Note not one second at SG for Andre Iguodala, not one second at SF for Thad Young (who only played 32 minutes total). Need to get Willie and Lou their burn, right?
Jordan's "offensive" lineup put up a stellar 81.98 offensive efficiency rating last night. The good news is it wasn't their worst offensive performance of the season.
I don't have a lot of specific notes from last night's game. It was pitiful to watch. The team was clearly out-manned and out-coached in the first half, if one was the cause of the other is irrelevant. Whatever special spark this team has had in the past three seasons which made them rise to the occasion and perhaps play above their heads has been systematically beaten out of them and right now we're watching a group of pissed off individuals on the floor. How each player handles the situation may be telling in and of itself, but that's not really the kind of evaluation I care to be making right now.
In the second half, we saw an entire roster say, "Fuck it, I'm getting mine." It was nothing but one-on-one basketball, long jumpers and pretty much zero defense, especially from the starting back court. At one point, Jordan even benched Green and Lou, bringing Ivey and Holiday into the game. The Sixers picked up 6 points, but it was short-lived. Jordan just had to get his guys back in there, and then the onslaught continued.
After the game, the press fanned the flames of Elton Brand's comments, seeking out Speights for a response. This was the closing line in reference to Brand saying he never passes:
"They know I'm a good shooter and a good scorer," Speights said about his teammates. "They make fun of me, but they know I can score the ball, so it's cool."
This farce has gone on long enough. Right now, you've got Andre Iguodala being basically the only regular who you can honestly say still cares. Unfortunately, his desire to win is manifesting itself in too many shots. At some point, each one of these players is going to reach his breaking point. Personally, I think Brand and Dalembert are already there. Thad is closing in. Lou and Speights are too immature to look beyond their own points per game. Willie is just happy he's still got a job and won't say a word to jeopardize is undeserved starting spot. Jrue has to be confused. Absolutely has to be. The only way he's allowed to stay on the floor is when he's scoring the ball, so he takes too many shots, too many bad shots. When he hits them, he gets more minutes. His playing time is in no way tied to the defense he plays nor the way he sets his teammates up for high-percentage looks. Essentially, the strongest parts of his game are shit on by his coach. What kind of long-term damage is that going to do to a 19-year-old kid?
I'd love to know where Ed Stefanski is in this whole mess. We haven't heard anything from him in a couple weeks, since he refused to lay the blame on his coach, saying "top to bottom" they needed to improve. Well, I'm assuming he's watching the same games we are. He sees how his coach has alienated essentially every meaningful player on the roster. And now, as of last night, he's seen how I'd say 10 of the 13 players on the roster have quit. Have cashed in their chips. Have devolved into the worst stereotypes of overpaid, under-motivated NBA players. Yet he still remains silent.
Player of The Game: Deron Williams. The first time I've handed this out to a non-Sixer.
Team Record: 7-22
Up Next: Another loss, in Portland. The debut of the Iverson/Lou back court. Can't wait!

The Edward Cullen of 'Twilight Saga' is offered to take part in 'over-the-top Spring Break video shoots' for the adult entertainment franchise.
Robert Pattinson's joke that he'd like to mingle with "Girls Gone Wild" stars to "get [Edward Cullen] out of his shell a little" has been responded by Joe Francis. The founder of the adult entertainment franchise sends the British actor a letter, offering him $100,000 to appear in a Spring Break video.
Pattinson mentioned "Girls Gone Wild" when visiting "The Kevin McCarthy Show". "Maybe the Hogan Knows best cast," he jokingly said when asked what cast he would like to see his "Twilight" mates hang out with. "I was gonna say Girls Gone Wild but like...Girls Gone Wild would be better."
In his response, Joe tells R-Pattz as quoted by E! News, "I was pleased to hear your mention of Girls Gone Wild." "Per your positive comments," the 39-year-old entrepreneur would like to give the boyfriend of Kristen Stewart a "unique opportunity to make those comments a reality."
"The beaches are packed with amazing girls during Spring Break and it would be a major bonus not only for us, but for the millions of Twilight fans to see you with a camera in your hands filming alongside our talented crew at some of the biggest beach parties in the country," Joe reasons.
"The action is non-stop and it would definitely be something worth marking of your bucket list," he adds. In his letter to the "Cosmopolis" hunk, he proposes some "over-the-top Spring Break video shoots in a location of your choosing over the course of 3 days."
Joe asks Robert to "keep in mind" that the paycheck could be donated to "a charity of your choosing once the shoot is complete." There is no word on whether the actor accepts the offer or not.

Not enough has been said
regarding how to make homemade wine that
will turn out right by using the correct sort of cork to
seal off the wine bottle. Genuinely, the type of cork you
pick to seal your wine bottles is of crucial importance – it
can make the difference between producing quality wine and
Your local wine making
store will probably offer you the "agglomerated" lot of cork
for your wine bottles. Agglomerated cork is cork
manufactured from smaller pieces of cork compressed
together. It further happens to be the lowest quality of
cork available for vintners to use.
If you long to use
quality cork when learning how to make homemade
wine, then do try to get cork that has been cut out
of only one piece of cork bark rather than individual pieces
glued together somehow. The cork that was cut out of the
cork bark as one piece is the top quality cork that wineries
use today.
Your run-of-the-mill
agglomerated cork will sell for around 20 US cents per part.
The top-quality cork that wineries use cost about 75 US
cents apiece. Though the agglomerated cork may sound to be a
cheaper and superior preference for making homemade wine,
the agglomerated cork tends to bring leakage of your
valuable wine, leaving the wine inside the bottle
contaminated by outside odors.
Wineries use the
top-quality cork to cut down on any spoilage of wine. At
present, about 5% of wine produced by commercial wineries is
lost by cork spoilage. This is identical to spoilage of one
out of 20 bottles of wine.
Cork spoilage is
attributed to fungus that has tainted your wine bottle
cork. The prevalence of tainted cork is the cardinal
ground that wineries have switched to using the synthetic
nature of cork or the screw-top assemblies instead to
bottle wine. You might be surprised how many top-quality
wine makers are using the metal screw-top assemblies
rather than straight cork nowadays and it is all to avoid
pricey spoilage of their homemade wine. Please read our
article on bottling and aging
wine and racking and
clarification tips if you have not already done
The bark-based cork is
currently being utilized now because it is the conventional
way to seal off wine bottles, has been in use for centuries,
and routinely looks superior to synthetic cork or metal
screw-top assemblies. But there are distinct advantages to
shifting to synthetic cork to seal off your wine bottles
Synthetic cork is a
viable preference if you want a good option to the
button-down top-quality winery cork. There are sundry
advantages to using synthetic cork.
One is that synthetic
cork is cheap – you can buy a bulk amount of synthetic cork
for 20 US cents each. This means it is as cheap as the
agglomerated cork. But synthetic cork is superior to
agglomerated cork because cork spoilage is avoided. You can
relinquish doing those particular actions to limit cork
spoilage like turning empty wine bottles upside down or
letting them lie down.
There is no need to keep
synthetic cork wet either to use them to bottle your wine.
You can keep the synthetic cork upright instead of on its
side and it will still be usable. Plus, synthetic corks are
not affected by the humidity level of your storage
organization like cork bark-based cork is. This allows you
to buy synthetic cork in bulk quantities then store them for
even a long time and they will still be useful for
Though synthetic cork can
be easier to use for wine bottling than conventional cork,
their disadvantage is that they are difficult to use with
hand held corkers for sealing your wine bottles. To seal the
bottle properly with a synthetic cork, you have to have a
floor corker around.
Natural cork bark-based
cork producers have also invested a lot into research and
development as to the causes of cork spoilage and how they
can make cork that will not cause wine spoilage – this has
led wine spoilage attributed to bad cork to go down
significantly. Frequently too, it is the winery that is at
fault too because of the way they handle corks prior to
stopping up the wine bottles, so wineries have to take care
that corks are not contaminated prior to sealing off the
One first problem in cork
use is that you require a corkscrew or maybe a cork puller
to remove the cork prior to drinking the wine. This could
also be a problem with use of synthetic plastic corks. By
using a corkscrew, you damage the cork generally beyond the
point where it can be re-utilized. It is embarrassing for
restaurant employees to have to sieve out bits and pieces of
the cork that winds up in the wine liquid only so customers
can drink it. It then becomes a problem for both staff and
the patron as to how the leftover wine in the bottle can be
stored – should it be thrown out after the wine bottle has
been left open at the patron's table for hours, or can a
better preference for covering the bottle be created once
the cork has been badly damaged?
To prevent damaging the
cork during the sealing off stage (after the wine has been
made and you need to seal it off for storage) you should use
a floor corker – preferably the kind that uses an iris to
insert the cork. This may be more costly than the particular
lever, twin lever, and compression corkers about but the
iris type floor corker is easier to use and is more rigorous
for inserting the cork into the bottle. Hence, there is less
potential injury to the cork, and less resulting damage to
the wine inside.
Once corking is
practiced, it is advisable to let your bottles stand upright
for another 24 hours so that any extra compressed air in the
wine bottle can leak out. If you store the bottle on a rack
horizontally straightaway after corking, the compressed air
from within may even push out the cork itself resulting in
wine spilling out. After 24 hours, the wine bottle can be
safely stored horizontally and this is even better because
the wine touching the cork inside the bottle will prevent
leaks by letting the cork remain
If you have read this far you have learned there
are several reasons why you can fail or produce wine of
fair quality. To help avoid these issues, please read our

By Chris McGuinness
Killeen Daily Herald
State educator organizations and school administrators are questioning the effectiveness of the No Child Left Behind Act after a majority of Texas school districts failed to meet federal accountability standards.
According to a report by the Texas Education Agency, more than 70 percent of the state's public and charter school districts failed to meet Adequate Yearly Progress, or AYP, standards as required under the Act for the 2011-12 school year.
Locally, school districts in Central Texas followed a similar trend. Twenty-seven out of 46 Killeen Independent School District campuses, including all four high schools and eight of its 11 middle schools, failed to meet the federal standards. Six of the 10 campuses in the Copperas Cove School District also failed to make AYP.
According to reports from the agency, the Killeen, Temple, Belton and Florence school districts all failed to make AYP as well, with only Salado and Lampasas districts actually meeting the standards.
A 'disconnect'
The failure of districts like Killeen and Cove to hit federal accountability targets comes despite the fact that those same districts, and some of their campuses, garnered favorable ratings from the state's own accountability rating system.
Both Killeen and Copperas Cove earned a "recognized" status from the state for the 2010-11 school year, and the Belton, Temple and Florence districts received an "academically acceptable" rating.
"I anticipated that there would be some difficulty, because of the disconnect between the federal accountability system and the state accountability system," said Robert Muller, Killeen's superintendent.
Deann Lee, president of the Association of Texas Professional Educators, pointed to that "disconnect" as one of the many failings of No Child Left Behind.
"NCLB is absolutely not an effective way to measure the success of a school district," Lee said. "What we are seeing is a very clear demonstration of why Washington shouldn't interfere with local education decisions."
Lee said much of the difference between the state accountability system and the federal AYP requirement was a result of how districts were measured.
For instance, the percentage of students who need to meet proficiency targets for AYP increases each year. For the 2011-12 school year, 87 percent of Texas students needed to hit proficiency targets in reading/language arts, and 83 percent had to be proficient in math. Those standards were increased by seven to eight percentage points from the previous year.
For the upcoming 2012-13 school year, those numbers will be bumped up to 93 percent for reading/language arts, and 92 percent for math. Those requirements will increase to 100 percent by the 2013-14 school year.
In addition, AYP also requires districts and schools to hit proficiency targets for seven sub-groups of students, and takes into account test participation rates, attendance and graduation rates. If a district does not meet the requirements for any of those groups, it fails to make AYP.
It is extremely punitive, and it does not reward or encourage districts who have made progress from one year to the next," Lee said.
Seeking a solution
When it comes to finding a solution, both Lee and Muller suggested revamping the federal accountability system, and tackling the problems inherent to No Child Left Behind.
"I think our state leaders need to work with the federal government to align the systems," Muller said. "I'd like to see a situation where there is an alignment, and we don't have two completely different systems."
Lee agreed.
"We need to address the problems in NCLB and have a system that is more flexible, reasonable and has much more room for local and state decision making," she said.
However, Lee was skeptical of lawmakers in Washington's ability to fix the perceived flaws in NCLB. The federal education law, of which NCLB is a part, has been due for congressional reauthorization since 2007, but is stalled due to congressional gridlock.
"Unfortunately Congress has been unable to put politics aside and do what's best for students," Lee said. "At this point they're more concerned with elections then trying to give our children a better education."
Lee and the association are strongly in favor of the state seeking a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education, which allows states to opt out of No Child Left Behind.
Since the waivers were introduced by the department in 2010, 33 states and the District of Columbia have been granted such waivers.
Texas, however, is one of a dozen states that has not sought a waiver.
Suzanne Marchman, a spokesperson for the Texas Education Agency, said the state has declined to seek a waiver because of certain requirements from the federal government, some of which might conflict with the state's own education laws.
"Those waivers come with strings attached, which is why we are hesitant to seek one at this point," Marchman said.
Marchman also said the agency initially asked the department for a waiver because the state was making the switch to a new accountability test, but it was denied.
Lee argued that Texas' accountability rating system and standards already meet many of the requirements to obtain a waiver, and called on Gov. Rick Perry to initiate the waiver process.
According to the department's guidelines, the governor must initiate the application for a waiver.
"The benefit for Texas students far outweighs any strings attached," Lee said. "Until the governor asks for a waiver, more than five million Texas students will continue to suffer under No Child Left Behind."
Perry's office did not respond to a request for comment on the matter.
While the battle to find a solution to the problem continues, districts like Muller's are left trying to explain and cope with current system.
Despite the federal ratings, Muller said he was confident of his district's ability to educate its students.
"We have effective learning going on, and the district is very focused on providing quality education to all our students," Muller said. "I think there is evidence to support that we are delivering for our students."

Two-Out Runs Prove Fatal in Tides 9-1 Loss
May 5, 2011 7:39 PM ET
Matt Hague put the visitors on the board with a two-out, two-run homer in the first inning, and it proved to be a sign of things to come as the Indians (9-19) scored seven two-out runs in their blowout victory. Chase d'Arnaud gave the Indianapolis ballclub a 5-0 lead in the second inning with a two-out, three-run homer off Tides starter Chris Jakubauskas.
Jakubauskas (0-1, 18.90) started in place of Ryan Drese after being optioned to Norfolk earlier in the day. The veteran righty lasted just 2+ innings and was relieved by Drese after giving up a leadoff single to Alex Presley in the third inning; Presley eventually scored on a groundout by Jason Jaramillo. In all, Jakubauskas allowed six runs on five hits with two walks and two strikeouts.
The Tides bats got off to a promising start against Indians starter Brian Burress. Ryan Adams and Nolan Reimold knocked back-to-back one-out singles and gave the home team a chance to cut into the early two-run deficit, but Brandon Snyder grounded into a double-play to end the inning. Burress (1-4, 5.34) allowed just one more Tides base runner to get into scoring position and gave up only four more hits during his 6.2 innings on the hill.
Nick Green got the Tides on the board with a solo home run in the seventh inning that made it 9-1 in favor of Indianapolis.
Dusty Brown added a solo home run of his own in the sixth inning off Drese.
Drese lasted 5.0 innings of relief, giving up three runs on seven hits. He struck out one and walked one. Armando Gabino pitched 2.0 hitless innings to close out the game; he issued one walk and struck out three.
The two teams will meet again Friday night when it will be Teacher Appreciation Night at Harbor Park. Teachers from Hampton Roads can receive two reserved seat tickets for $5.00 or two box seat tickets for $6.50.
The Tides will send RH Rick VandenHurk (1-4, 7.03) to the hill opposite RH Sean Gallagher (0-4, 8.74) as they try to even up the series. First pitch is set for 7:15 p.m.

Oil industry seeks wider role for drones
Updated 7:20 pm, Friday, January 3, 2014
A Federal Aviation Administration decision to permit the testing of drones in Texas and at other sites throughout the country will open the door to greater use of unmanned aircraft by oil companies.
The oil industry has been a leader in the use of drones for surveying land and equipment. ConocoPhillips received a permit from the FAA for the first-ever commercial drone flight in U.S. airspace, which it conducted in September.
Commercial drone flights otherwise have been prohibited in the Unites States.
ConocoPhillips flew a drone over Alaska's Chukchi Sea in a 36-minute flight that tested the aircraft's sensors and navigation systems.
Business Channel
It launched the 40-pound drone from a ship in Arctic waters about 120 miles off Alaska's north coast, according to the company.
"We are still figuring out all the ways drones can be valuable to us from an operational and economic standpoint," John Hand, a technology program manager for ConocoPhillips, said in the most recent edition of the company's Spirit magazine. "But our main interest is in the ways they can spare our people from exposure to potentially hazardous conditions. That will always be their biggest value."
Drones also can operate at much lower costs than manned aircraft.
Inspecting an Alaska pipeline with a manned aircraft costs about $8,000 per hour, compared with $300 an hour for a drone, ConocoPhillips said.
Drones also remove the complications of sending humans into rugged terrain to inspect and examine equipment and oil fields.
Additionally, drones can fly lower and slower than manned aircraft, allowing for more detailed inspections of pipelines, Hand said.
The oil industry has been studying the use of drones in a variety of capacities.
Models on display at the 2013 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston included a programmable plane that could examine onshore oil fields.
Other types of drones included underwater robots that could survey pipes and other systems along the seafloor.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it will allow testing of commercial drones at sites in several states, including Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. The agency also approved testing at sites in Alaska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota and Virginia.
The oil industry is especially active in three of those states: Texas, Alaska and North Dakota.

The Time Bomb
"This category is about something that everyone is doing… we are doing it, you are doing it, everyone is making their own Stoner Schematics. Wait! You might be asking yourself, what in the hell is this… Stoner Schematic? Well I am glad that you subconsciously reached into your head and spat out a question such as this for us. Stoner Schematics are Stoner's ('hence the name') Schematics (blueprints, instructions, whatever your vernacular…). It is what the Stoner creates, be it cannabutter, some crazy rolling technique, or even just a great way to blow smoke… that is a Stoner Schematic." ——–> Got suggestions for schematics? E-mail Dignan
Recently, the heavens opened up unto me to reveal this grand masterpiece submitted by Dubteeff, a regular user on the Trees subreddit, known as the Time Bomb. While its origins are uncertain at the moment, Dubteeff has been kind enough to present to us his method for preparing the Time Bomb. Appropriately named like something straight out of an H.G. Wells novel, this Stoner Schematic is bound to be an upcoming craze in smoking circles, dare I say, the next cross joint. To quote Saul Silver from Pineapple Express, "This is it, man. This is what your grandchildren are gonna be smoking." If you want to create one for yourself follow these steps to success; however, please stay cautious of retrocausality.

Oslo, Norwary (SPX) May 02, 2011
In urban communities, less than 1 in 100 inhabitants died from Spanish flu in 1918, but in isolated communities up to 9 out of 10 died. An important explanation for the differences is due to different exposure to influenza in the decades before the Spanish flu came.
Those living in urban communities probably had a higher degree of pre-existing immunity that protected against illness and death in 1918 than those living in very isolated rural areas. This is shown in a new study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
Previous studies have suggested that an important reason for the large regional differences in mortality must be that people living in cities were more frequently exposed to similar viruses to the one that caused the Spanish flu earlier in life than those living in rural and extremely isolated areas.
"It is not inconceivable that there was a different geographical spread of the virus in the 1800s and early 1900s, at a time when intercontinental communication networks were less developed" said Svenn-Erik Mamelund, a senior adviser in the Division of Infectious Disease Control at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.
"No one knows exactly which influenza viruses circulated before 1918. But a leading theory is that there were H1-like viruses circulating in the period before the last major pandemic, the Russian pandemic of 1889-90.
Some viruses circulating prior to 1889 may therefore have been related to the virus that caused the Spanish flu in 1918, A (H1N1). This would mean that some people who were older than 28-30 years in 1918 may have had some protection against severe infection and death from Spanish flu because of previous exposure to similar viruses," he said.
First to confirm anecdotal information from 1918 with quantitative data
However, similar analyses for isolated communities, such as in Labrador, Canada, and Alaska, USA, showed that mortality for all adults over 30 years was very high, and up to 90-100 per cent.
"Data from church records for Okak, Hebron, and Brevig also supported the historical anecdotes about the high mortality in these isolated communities," said Mamelund.
The study also shows that it was mainly people belonging to indigenous populations who died in the worst affected areas.
Findings suggest, that to a greater extent, the geographically isolated indigenous groups had risk factors associated with influenza, such as co-morbidities e.g. pulmonary tuberculosis, cramped living conditions and poverty compared to Caucasian populations living in cities and countries with a high degree of urbanisation in the West.
In addition, loss of caregivers due to high mortality was an indirect cause of many fatalities. Genetic explanations may also have played a role, says Mamelund.
The study is published in the latest issue of the Epidemics journal, and is based on quantitative data from archives and church records and ethnographic data from Scandinavia, North America and Oceania.
What conclusions can be drawn from this study?
"Secondly, we conclude that without adequate immunological protection for large parts of the world's population, Spanish flu would probably have claimed many more lives than the most widely quoted estimate of 50-100 million dead.
"Mortality rates during the recent A (H1N1) pandemic in 2009 were lower than during normal seasonal influenza. This may be partly due to similar mechanisms that were at work in 1918 also being in operation in 2009.
Those who are older than 65 years usually have the highest mortality associated with seasonal influenza, but because of pre-existing immunity, few elderly people became ill and died in 2009.
Serological studies from Europe, Japan and the USA have shown that pre-existing immunity was highest among those born before 1918, but also those born later had some protection. Those born after 1949 had little or no immunity against the A (H1N1) virus in 2009."
Do historical studies have relevance for future pandemic preparedness?
The studies show that models of morbidity and mortality for future pandemics should include the significance of pre-existing immunity," concluded Mamelund.

Update 2011 - Palestine
Following Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, the Jahalin Bedouin, together with four other tribes from the Negev Desert (al-Kaabneh, al-Azazmeh, al-Ramadin and al-Rashayida), took refuge in the West Bank, then under Jordanian rule. These tribes, who number well over 13,000 people in Area C of the West Bank and thousands more in Areas A and B, are semi-nomadic agro-pastoralists living mainly in the rural areas around Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Jericho and the Jordan Valley.
These areas are today part of the so-called "Area C" of the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT). "Area C", provisionally granted to Israel in 1995 by the Oslo Accords and which were due to cease to exist in 1998, represents 62% of the West Bank. It is home to all West Bank Israeli settlements, industrial estates, military bases, firing ranges, nature reserves and settler-only by-pass roads, all under Israeli military control.
The Greater Jerusalem plan threatens Bedouin communities
he Israeli army plans to forcibly relocate some 20 Palestinian Jahalin Bedouin communities living near East Jerusalem.1 These communities are located in areas of strategic importance to the Israeli Greater Jerusalem plan. This plan will endanger the viability and contiguity of a future Palestinian state and constitutes yet another unilateral Israeli "Judaisation" measure, creating "facts on the ground" which, if carried out, would not merely affect final status issues but would threaten any possible peace negotiation.
The Israeli Civil Administration plans to begin by relocating these communities, involving over 2,300 persons to a site near the main Jerusalem refuse dump. This will seriously affect the lives of these vulnerable people, just as it affected some 200 families similarly removed to that site in 1997. It is also Israel's stated intention in the coming years to forcibly displace a total of some 27,000 Bedouin and other herders within the entire "Area C" to various permanent locations, thereby committing a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions.2
Dispossessing the Bedouin
The planned population transfer is the continuation of a pattern of dispossession spurred on by the fast growing but, according to international humanitarian laws, illegal Israeli implantation in Area C. The Bedouin in the OPT lack basic infrastructure and suffer from land confiscations and movement restrictions. According to UN statistics, over 1,094 Palestinians in the OPT were forcibly displaced in 2011 due to 622 home demolitions, and 139 were displaced due to settler violence; over 5,258 people were affected by demolitions, 40% of whom were Bedouin.
The inability to move freely, to find grazing land or to access markets to sell their animal products has increased Bedouin vulnerability, and food insecurity in 2010 ran at 55%.3 The building of permanent infrastructure–such as water tanks, power lines, schools and health clinics–is not allowed in Area C without a permit4 and, according to the UN,5 such permits are almost never granted.
Some of the most vulnerable Bedouin are the 2,300 or so living close to the Israeli settlement of Ma'ale Adumim, the third largest Israeli settlement, just east of Jerusalem. Many of the men are still without permits to work in nearby settlements (their source of work for many years), after having tried to assert their right to education, development and self-determination.6 Their children's access to school is also affected. The Khan el Ahmar School, built in 2009 using old car tyres and mud, is a case in point.7 Although a demolition order was immediately issued, court proceedings allowed the school–staffed by seven teachers provided by the Palestinian Authority and serving 80 primary students–to remain in operation in 2011. Its future is precarious, not least since three nearby settlements have sued for its demolition, claiming in the Supreme Court that the Jahalin are occupying their land (it actually belongs to Palestinian villagers of nearby Anata) and threatening their security.
All Negev Bedouin displaced to the West Bank as refugees suffer from restrictions limiting their access to natural resources, such as water and grazing land, and many are subject to incidents of settler violence. This is also the case of the isolated Bedouin communities in the Jordan Valley, who are living in abjectple represent the human face of Israeli occupation policies and settlement expansion based on ethnic discrimination. As refugees, they call for their right of return to their ancestral lands inside Israel. As people with human rights, they ask that their camps be recognized as official villages through the establishment of a fair planning and zoning policy. As indigenous peoples, they demand the right to preserve their traditional lifestyle, for their needs to be respected and that they be informed and give their free consent if they have to move. At the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) hearings in Geneva in November 2011, the Israeli delegation, when questioned by the Committee, refused to recognise the Bedouin inside Israel or in the West Bank as an indigenous people, thus indicating the general mindset of the Israeli authorities and the problematic nature of this relationship.
According to international humanitarian law, Israel, as an occupying power, is responsible for administering the Occupation in a manner that does not harm the local Palestinian population. In addition, under international human rights law, all people have: the right to a life free from discrimination, the right to have access to effective legal remedy and the right to enjoy an adequate standard of living, housing, health, education and water. Israel is therefore grossly disregarding this body of law by forcing the Bedouin to abandon their herds and traditional lifestyle, and to live under conditions that press them to become dependent on humanitarian assistance.10
The international community must urgently require Israel to halt the planned forced relocations immediately, to respect international human rights standards, and to review the long-term nature of the Occupation.

Scores of people were killed or wounded in Yemen, Egypt and Syria, and Libyan rebels were battling loyalists in three cities, as protests against entrenched regimes shook the region.
Yemeni security forces fired on demonstrators in three cities on Friday, leaving many wounded, and Syrian forces shot at a funeral for protesters killed in an earlier demonstration. Egyptian military leaders blamed "outlaws" trying to "thwart the revolution" for killing at least one person when soldiers broke up a protest in central Cairo, which also left 71 injured.
Almost four months after Tunisia exploded over social, political and economic conditions, protesters in a half-dozen countries are trying to sweep away regimes that have ruled for decades. Countries from North America, Europe and the Middle East itself are also struggling to contain Libyan dictator
"We're obviously in a period of unravelling of the old, and violence is a part of that," said Robert Danin, a senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington.
Colonel Gaddafi's troops battled rebels for control of Misrata and Ajdabiya on the Gulf of Sidra on Friday. His forces also shelled the city of Zantan, a spokesman told Al Jazeera.
The Cairo shooting came after thousands gathered in a downtown square demanding prompt trials for ousted president
Security and army troops used batons and fired shots in the air to drive out some protesters who attempted to camp in the square, witnesses said.
At a news conference in Cairo, Major General Ismail Etman, of Egypt's ruling military council, said soldiers "acted correctly". He said "elements" he did not identify were trying to split the people and the army to "thwart the revolution".
Palestinians fired more than 20 rockets and mortar shells from the Gaza Strip after the Israeli air force struck a vehicle there and killed a Hamas militia commander and two aides. An Israeli school bus was hit by an anti-tank missile last week.
