House and Senate chairs resume talks on VATHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | July 26,2014
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., right, with Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, July 24, 2014, on the Veterans Administration. The chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees offered competing new proposals to fix a veterans health care program scandalized by long waits and falsified records covering up the delays. (AP Photo)WASHINGTON A day after offering competing plans to improve veterans health care, the chairmen of the House and Senate Veterans Affairs committees are again attempting to find a compromise.
Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the House veterans panel, and his Senate counterpart, Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., had a public spat Thursday that appeared to jeopardize efforts to agree on a plan to fix a veterans health program scandalized by long patient wait times and falsified records covering up delays.
Miller said Friday he spoke with Sanders on Thursday night and planned to speak with him again.
Were working, Miller told reporters, adding that he was here if necessary.
A spokesman for Sanders called the discussion productive and said Sanders stands ready to return to Washington if needed to advance the negotiations. He traveled to Philadelphia for a conference and was also planning to go home to Vermont.
The House and Senate are set to adjourn next week until early September, and lawmakers from both parties have said completing a bill on veterans health care is a top priority.
Sanders announced a proposal Thursday that would cost about $25 billion over three years to lease new clinics, hire more doctors and nurses and make it easier for veterans who cant get prompt appointments with VA doctors to get outside care.
Millers proposal would require only $10 billion in emergency spending, with a promise of more spending in future years under the normal congressional budget process. His bill would keep most of the provisions in the Senate-passed bill and also would authorize about $100 million for the Department of Veterans Affairs to address shortfalls in the current budget year.
Both bills cost significantly less than bills approved last month by the House and Senate.
Meanwhile, the House adopted a nonbinding resolution Friday that endorses a Senate-passed provision aimed at improving VA care for survivors of military sexual assault.
The resolution was sponsored by Rep. Julia Brownley, D-Calif., who said the 213-193 vote sent a strong message that the House supports improving care for veterans who are victims of sexual assault. Twenty-two Republicans joined 191 Democrats in supporting the motion to accept the Senate language as part of the final bill.
A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said House negotiators, led by Miller, are continuing to work to find common ground on bipartisan, bicameral legislation to begin to address the scandalous treatment of our veterans.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

NEW YORK — First, it was the Houston Texans.Then, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Then, the Cleveland Browns. And on it went with even the Dallas Cowboys passing on him.Johnny Manziel surely didn't lose count, though he insists that wasn't the case.The Texas A&M quarterback sat in the green room as 21 teams called other players' names. The look on his face, as well as his body language, told the entire story: He was anything but happy.The Browns, after passing on him twice — at No. 4 and again after trading back to No. 8 — finally traded up to get him. Manziel became the 22nd overall choice, as Cleveland traded up from 26, leaping the Kansas City Chiefs."It's a great story," Manziel said. "It's great for me to end up there, the team that has fans that are as passionate as I am on the field and play with a lot of heart. Those guys are very passionate about a team that hasn't had an incredible amount of success, and they still are very diehard, very loyal. That means a lot. At the same time, it means a lot this team traded up to take me."Manziel to the Cowboys, though, seemed like a match made in football heaven. The Cowboys are the team Manziel grew up rooting for. He and team owner Jerry Jones have established a relationship over the past two years, too, with Manziel even attending the NCAA Final Four in Jones' suite.The Cowboys, though, went with Notre Dame offensive lineman Zack Martin."I don't know if the world could have handled that, honestly," said Manziel, who wore a blue suit. "…I took every pick the same. Obviously, my relationship with Jerry and getting to know him a little bit over the past has been well documented. But I feel like they got a great player, and they did what they needed to do to help better their team."Manziel's fall served as the biggest surprise in a draft of surprises.The first two choices were minus drama as the Texans made South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney the first defensive player selected first overall since they took Mario Williams in 2006. That year, Houston passed on Texas quarterback Vince Young much to the chagrin of some fans.St. Louis followed by taking Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson.Then, Jacksonville selected a quarterback not named Manziel, taking Central Florida's Blake Bortles with the third overall choice, and Buffalo traded up to No. 4 to nab Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins.Not only was Manziel not the first quarterback off the board, but he wasn't the first — or the second — Aggie.A&M offensive tackle Jake Matthews went to the Atlanta Falcons at No. 6, and Aggies receiver Mike Evans followed to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a pick later.Manziel gave the Aggies three first-round picks for the first time since 1994, though they had hoped to have all three go in the top 10.It was a long wait, almost three hours until he got the phone call from Browns general manager Ray Farmer.The crowd erupted when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the selection, and Manziel did his trademark "cash out" sign — rubbing his thumb and fingers together — as he walked onstage."I felt going into this that everything would work itself out, and I was a true believer in that," Manziel said. "Obviously, there were some spots where I thought I might end up, but when it didn't happen, there was no list or no bitterness or grudge there."Browns fans already are in love with Manziel, even changing his nickname. They interrupted his press conference with chants of, "Johnny Cleveland!""It's cool," he said, smiling. "I'm ready to get to Cleveland."

I have always been a little crazy about the crispy, succulent goodness of fried chicken. Ryan on the other hand, is not a fan. Crazy right? I would always throw it in there as an option for dinner and he would nix it right away. So this time I upped the ante and promised creamy pan gravy along side. That did the trick.
In my mom's house people always went after the coveted chicken drumstick making it difficult to get unless you had extremely quick hands. A fight would ensue and there would be threats of going to our rooms without dinner. Perhaps that is why whenever I make fried chicken, I only use chicken drumsticks. I'm not sure why they are so coveted maybe it is because they stay so perfectly juicy and are the easiest pieces to eat. However, if they are not as popular in your house substitute a whole fryer chicken so you can get a variety.
As far as the gravy goes, I just cannot watch all of those lovely fried pan drippings go to waste so gravy is a natural accompaniment to fried chicken for me. And don't think I am trying to be all healthy buy using fat free milk, it was pure laziness. I didn't have any other kind and I was not keen on the idea of going to the store. The gravy did turn out perfectly creamy though so the saved calories were just a bonus. Although if you are counting calories, I'm not sure that this is the meal for you.

The Dark Knight Rerelease
The Dark Knight to Get Another Round in Theaters, January '09
by Entertainment 20 Reactions 0 Shares Print
Even though The Dark Knight has gone above and beyond the line of duty at the box office, earning an estimated $512 million domestically, Warner Bros. has announced it will get a re-release in January 2009. The Hollywood Reporter notes:
Warner Bros. domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with IMAX execs over the prospect of restoring the Christian Bale starrer to some giant-screen venues in January. It's uncertain if Dark Knight also will reappear in conventional venues at that point.
January, eh? Also known as: Oscar season!
So, what do you think? Over-hyped and political? Or yay? The DVD will already be out in December, though I still haven't seen The Dark Knight in an IMAX theater as many times as I'd like, so this might be fun come the new year. Also, a re-release could certainly help the movie beat Titanic as the biggest earner ever.

Totally unnecessary! They should bolster the DVD to increase DVD sales instead. If this film truly deserves an Oscar nom, it will get one.

I never got to see The Dark Knight in IMAX, so I guess it could be a good idea. I don't know if I will if the DVD comes out before that. I'd probably just buy the DVD and keep it at that.

First Harry Potter is delayed until July, now the WB is trying to milk more cash out of the Dark Knight in 2009 too? These money grubbers are just looking to improve their annual fiscal reports.

Ironically they did this with Titanic as well and look how many Oscars it won. That said, I don't think anyone who has seen this movie will have any problem remembering it. Just give me the DVD for Christmas and I'll be happy.

well i'm sure that a lot of people will go to see it again for a fresh watch. i just mentioned to my man that i'd see it in IMAX a 2nd time - but that's probably the only way that i would pay to see it again. it was great - but i shouldn't throw money away like that.

Helen DePrima: How Obamacare worsened my health insurance
Besides robbing us of our original insurance plan, Obamacare is further penalizing seniors by reducing Medicare funding over the next four years for physical, speech and occupational therapies as well as home care services. I had shoulder surgery last November, making sure to schedule it before the end of the year while still on my old policy. I started physical therapy in December, continuing into 2014. Then I learned — at my rehab facility, no less — that as of Jan. 1, Medicare would pay for only 15 visits. That seemed adequate (I had no complications) until the billing clerk explained that 15 visits would be my total allotment for visits of any kind for the whole year.

Of the many contributing causes to American violence, I don't think video games are an especially high priority. But neither do I think the possibility can be ignored. These attrocities have to end, and we should all be willing to consider all potential causes. I love video games, but if a thorough and valid scientific inquiry shows a causal or aggravating relationship between violent video games and real-world, violence, then I would be willing to accept restrictions on sales to minors.
I will be insistent that the NRA and other pro-gun groups contribute constructively to the debate and possible solutions, and be willing to compromise, and gamers need to be part of the conversation too.
By all means, let's not over react, and knee-jerk reactions are not helpful, on either side of the question. But there are no sacred cows.
Yes, there is a sacred cow. It's called Freedom of Speech.

BP appeals judge's ruling in Gulf spill settlement
BP has appealed a federal judge's interpretation of settlement terms governing payouts to businesses that claim the company's massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico cost them money.
BP on Wednesday asked the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review last month's ruling by U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who appointed Lafayette attorney Patrick Juneau to serve as claims administrator for a multibillion-dollar settlement between BP and a team of private plaintiffs' attorneys.
BP claims Juneau violated the settlement in the way he used a complex formula to determine the payments to businesses, but Barbier upheld Juneau's interpretation.
Barbier scheduled a hearing Friday on BP's separate request for a preliminary injunction to block what could be billions of dollars in settlement payments to businesses.

From the Publisher"The Man from Primrose Lane is a well-told story filled with darkness, horror, humor and surprising tenderness. And that's just the first part. There is a moment in this novel when the story moves in a way so unexpected I actually had to put it down and catch my breath. Go ahead, see what I mean. I'll wait here for you." —Charles Yu, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe
"The Man from Primrose Lane is one of those novels that will leave you torn: you'll want to read it slowly, in order to savor every scene, but you'll feel compelled to rush through the pages to discover what happens next. With uncommon skill and intelligence, James Renner weaves an intricate story of murder, abduction, and obsessive love. An incredible achievement—beautifully written and dazzlingly plotted, full of well-drawn characters and unexpected twists." —Harry Dolan, author of Bad Things Happen and Very Bad Men
"The Man from Primrose Lane is a haunting, wickedly clever book. Part Dennis Lehane and part Murakami, the twist of H. P. Lovecraft mixed in gives it a taste like no other. James Renner starts off his fiction career with a bang." —Jonathan Carroll, author of The Ghost in Love
"Set in the near future, this ambitious, genre-bending debut novel from investigative reporter Renner (Amy: My Search for Her Killer) opens with the brutal torture and killing of an elderly hermit, known as "the Man with a Thousand Mittens" (because he wore mittens in the summer), in West Akron, Ohio, and passes through the agonized aftermath of the presumed suicide of the beloved and troubled wife of bestselling true-crime journalist David Neff, who's charged with the hermit's murder. David, obsessed with finding the real killer and saving his four-year-old son from his worst fear, that the boy will grow up to be just like himself, painfully sets about clearing himself of the murder charge. He becomes involved with scientist Victor Tesla, whose time-travel vehicle takes multiple Davids on dizzying hunts for alternative-time child abusers, rapists, and homicidal maniacs. Punctuated by moments of desperate tenderness, this unusually demanding and grim tale provokes troubling reflections on guilt and innocence, good and evil, revenge and redemption." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Fully fleshed characters . . . vividly rendered. Renner's feints toward horror add quirky interest . . . those who [make the leap] will be well-rewarded." —Booklist

Stylish & Earth-Friendly? You Betcha!
Choosing reusables when you can is a beautiful way to pamper the planet — and show off a little personal style at the same time!
For example, if every American uses a reusable shopping bag just ONCE a week this year, we'll keep 16 billion bags out of landfills.
There's a world of stylish reusables to check out, like these clever examples:
- Biodegradable, recyclable cotton napkins come on a perforated roll like paper towels, and they're washable up to 6 times — perfect for picnics, portable lunches or casual dinner at home (ElleDécor.com loves them for summer entertaining).
- When you can, ditch the drab disposable in favor of your own classy spill-proof mug (or travel tea cup).
- And how about using your own utensils? Our friends at TheKitchn.com created a roundup of nifty reusables with a little something for everyone (and nothing for the trash can)!
I came to check it out also and was going to comment through my e-mail but I think I've done that before and it bounces. Then I saw this comment area and decided to sign in and comment here. I also don't have facebook and don't want facebook. Just like I don't tweet or pin etc. Not only do I not care to do so, I don't have time for such things. I would have appreciated being able to get one on the website also.
Many people who purchase organic foods and live a "green" lifestyle are not registered on Facebook. A lot of us use mobile phones only as a "last resort" and do not have a data plan for texting. How about recognizing those of us who support your company, but do not support Facebook or cannot afford a data plan for a cell phone?
I agree with Nathalie C. - as unbelievable as it may seem, there are still many people who choose not to participate in Facebook. While I would love to have a chance to win the bag, I won't join FB in order to do it. Please make ALL giveaways available to ALL of your consumers. :)
You can get a facebook account without adding any friends. You can simply :like" the companies/orgnaizations that you are interested in so you can learn about their upcoming events, new products, and giveaways like this one. That is what I did. I have a facebook page that is completely private, so people cannot search for me and request to be my friend etc. Perhaps this would be helpful?
Nice bag. Unfortunate that quite a few of us are disqualified from entering in on this giveaway due to our objection to having to enter on facebook/mobile texting. Agree with everyone who suggested the giveaway be done via the website so all could participate..
I am SO glad to hear that other people are upset that the giveaway is only available to Facebook users. I don't have Facebook for many reasons, and I get frustrated by all these companies that only offer their coupons or contests to Facebook users. Please include those of us who don't spend all our time engaged in social media!
It is true that many, many individuals today are choosing not to participate on Facebook. I would like to suggest to Earthbound that these are quite likely to be individuals who prefer to donate their time and energies to improving the world through their work with environmental groups, as well as by directly interacting with friends and family members to make environmentally sustainable choices. Remember, in life there are always trade-offs. You can choose to buy organic and sustainable food, and you can also choose to spend you time in more meaningful ways than posting mindless photos and You Tube clips that do nothing to improve this planet. Think it over, Earthbound Farm. The comments that have been posted should make you reassess the manner in which you present offers to your customers in the future. I would suggest you do this before you lose your neglected customers to your competitors. (FYI: I just read Walmart is entering the organic food market.)
I use the few reusable bags I have as much as I can and opt for paper if i dont have them on me by chance. I also love to give reusable bags as gifts. Whether their present is "wrapped" in a reusable shopping bag or I have one made with their own pictures on shutterfly. Spreading the green!

Enjoyed climbing for the last 20 odd years, moved to Sheffield 7 years ago to climb and drink more, work gets in the way but I always have a plan. Biggest ambition in climbing is not to have 1989 as my best climbing year. Ever the optimist "the best is yet to come"
Ambition update. Think I can now call 2010 my best year so far, plan 2011: Complete masters degree by July the 31st then get really strong. New ambition not to have 2010 as my best year!!
Best Climbing Experience
Training and getting better, feeling light, Deep water soloing 7A all alone, going out at 6:30 finding the rock wet so having a cup of tea with a friend while watching the sun come up.

Salt Lake CIty, ut
It just goes to show how sheepish we have become as a society. We are all told that black Friday sales SAVE US MONEY. So many many people go out and buy stuff they don't need thinking its a great deal. Prices can go from 1 for 50 cents or two for a dollar and most think they got themselves a great deal. DUR... We have declined so far as a country that the uninformed and willfully ignorant have become the majority. The election of Obama case in point.

BQM: At the initial launch on the apps, 40% of those who bought Chapter 1 were new users to those apps. I've heard over and over again that Smallville continuing as a comic opened the doors for folks who had never picked up a comic before to enter that wonderful world. Comics are amazing, and it's great to know that our Little Book that Could helped welcome new readers to the larger party.
CS: Ha ha - I was going to say the same thing. I've consistently had people come up to me at comic book conventions to tell me Smallville is the first comic book they ever picked up and now they are hooked.
What was your favorite storyline in the comic?
BQM: "Olympus" - hands down. It was by far the most fun to write and gave me a chance to get a take on Wonder Woman down on paper that I'd been itching to write for a long time.
CS: Sorry for the lack of diversity, but "Olympus" was my favorite too. That was some good writing, Mr. Miller. I loved the take on Wonder Woman's origin and how the two universes were tied together through Lois. Bryan wrote a fantastic Wonder Woman.

A new addition to Clark's family as heavily pregnant Chloe finally gives birth.
Lois and Clark share some much needed and much missed time together as comic book history's first couple. The scene with Lois parachuting away was a skillful yet quiet hint at what Lois was before the New 52 ruined her character. I'm also glad Clark finally after so long embraced the moniker we all know and love - Superman!

Author information
Scott Robertson graduated with honors with a B.S. degree in Transportation Design in April 1990. He began teaching at Art Center College of Design in 1995, first with a year-and-a-half stint at Art Center Europe in Vevey, Switzerland (now closed), and then in Pasadena, California. Some of his clients have included the BMW subsidiary Design-works/USA, Bell Sports, Raleigh Bicycles, Mattel Toys, Spin Master Toys, Patagonia, Scifi Lab, Minority Report feature film, Nike, Rock Shox, Universal Studios, OVO, Black Diamond, Angel Studios, Rockstar Games, Sony Online Entertainment, Buena Vista Games and Fiat to name just a few. To date, Robertson's company, Design Studio Press, has published 28 titles on art and design, with 9 of these titles having been translated into Japanese by the publisher Born Digital. He has authored or co-authored 8 books on design and concept art. Scott works as a design consultant to the entertainment industry, and is the president of Design Studio Press. He is married to film editor Melissa Kent. To see more of Scott Robertson's personal and professional work, please visit www.drawthrough.com. Annis Naeem was born in 1987 in Pakistan. He moved to New Jersey when he was 10 and thought he was destined to be a doctor or a lawyer, based on his family's expectations. At 18, he realized that his love for drawing and painting was greater than just the sketches in his chemistry class notebook, and he prepared for a move to California in hopes of receiving an education in concept design at Art Center, he applied and was accepted. In his first term he met Scott Robertson who convinced him that the new entertainment design program had the balance of design and illustration Naeem was looking for. He soon switched majors and landed an internship with Robertson the next summer through which their first collaboration book, DRIVE resulted. From the beginning, Daniel Gardner had a passion for art. Born in 1989, he grew up in a family of creative people and designers. He took figure drawing, painting and animation classes in high school along with product and transportation design classes through Art Center College of Design's Saturday High program. Gardner had always dreamed of attending Art Center to major in transportation. Although, after a year at Pasadena City College, ready to apply to Art Center, he became aware of entertainment design and how it was going to become a new major at the school. Having immediately fallen in love with concept design, he changed his focus, but still has an immense love for automobiles.

It's one of our most important rights, and a group is out in Wausau this week helping younger people exercise that right.
The New Voters Project is hitting the streets in downtown Wausau and on the fairgrounds this week, hoping to register young adults ages 18 to 24 for the November election.
"It's a chance to voice your opinion and tell everyone what you think, especially candidates, and let them know what issues your interested in," said Casey Schepp, of the New Voters Project.
To be registered you need a photo ID or your social security number and about two minutes to fill out the paperwork.

An interview with Benedict Cumberbatch.
Faithful readers know I'm not fond of heights. That doesn't mean I object to them in movies. I responded strongly to Tom Cruise clinging to the walls of the world's tallest building in "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol." With a movie like "Man on a Ledge," however, I feel toyed with. The movie cuts back and forth between two preposterous plot lines and uses the man on the ledge as a device to pump up the tension.
Fair enough. I've played along with more than one absurd plot in my life. But how should I react when the man on the ledge doesn't take it seriously? I believe if you are standing on a 21st floor ledge in a fair wind, you take it very seriously, indeed. To be sure, the man is threatening to commit suicide, so if he fell, that would fit into his plan. But since we know he's not serious, what is this goofball thinking?
His name is Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington). He's an ex-cop, serving a prison term. Let outside for a day under armed escort to attend his father's funeral, he escapes from his guards, ditches his prisoner's uniform, makes it into Manhattan, checks into a hotel, tucks into a big breakfast and climbs out on the ledge.
At this point, if we're experienced moviegoers, we have a good idea he isn't going to jump anytime real soon, because then the movie would be over, get it? No, we're going to get a lot of point-of-view shots looking straight down past the toes of his shoes. Man, is he high up. He collects a big crowd, which brings traffic to a halt.
At the same time, the movie cuts away to David Englander (Ed Harris), a wealthy master of the universe whose offices are in a high rise across the street. He's preparing to unveil his grandiose scheme to erect a skyscraper. I've forgotten its name, so let's call it the Englander Tower, in honor of the Donald.
Now we cut between Nick Cassidy, David Englander and Joey (Jamie Bell) and Angie (Genesis Rodriguez). Why do I always think people named Joey and Angie are New Yorkers? I'm sure there are lots of them elsewhere. Anyway, Angie emulates the new breed of female action heroine by squeezing herself into a skin-tight latex costume that incorporates a push-up bra designed along the same lines that made the facade of the Sydney Opera House possible. Then she begins crawling through air shafts.
Across the street, a cop named Jack Dougherty (Edward Burns) arrives in the hotel room to talk down the jumper. Soon he's replaced by an NYPD psychologist named Lydia Mercer (Elizabeth Banks). Down below, on cue, the crowd chants jump! jump! while hoping to film the death on their iPhones and pick up some change from "Eyewitness News." TV news reporter Suzie Morales (Kyra Sedgwick) breathlessly covers the story. Her station's NewsChopper helpfully flies so close to the ledge that its downdraft threatens to blow Nick into a thousand YouTube postings.
How much should I reveal? I could explain the connection, if any, between the events on both sides of the street. Let me just say it's all part of a tricky scheme to steal the world's largest diamond. Therefore, Nick's role is to attract attention and tie up traffic, right? Yes, and pretend to almost fall at just the right moment so an explosion will be overlooked, and so on.
But hold on. What we have here is a master plan that absolutely depends on Nick (1) being released for the funeral, (2) escaping two armed guards, (3) getting safely into Manhattan, (4) checking into a room on the correct floor and side of the hotel and (5) not falling off the ledge prematurely, which would not only kill him but spoil the whole plan. And meanwhile, Joey and Angie have to find the world's largest diamond, which is not where it's supposed to be. Maybe it has been disguised as a diamond-plated Ferrari? No, that was "Tower Heist." And there also has to be time for the TV reporter to sum up the meaning of everything and bring about the happy ending.
You say that all sounds plausible to you? OK. But here's what I doubt. You know those big air mattresses that firemen inflate to break falls from high places? Do you believe that when it becomes urgent for Nick to be at street level right now, he would take a deep breath, get a running start on the ledge, jump into thin air and land safely after his fall of 21 floors? That's where I draw the line.

Local groups join forces
Winnebago County Taxpayers Association (WCTA) and the Libertarian Party have joined R.E.A.C.H. in effort to force District 205 to place a backdoor referendum on the ballot.
If District 205 uses a backdoor referendum to pay back tax protester refunds, WCTA and the Libertarian Party will join R.E.A.CH. to spearhead a petition drive to force the district to place it before the voters in the spring. A backdoor referendum would allow District 205 to raise Rockfords taxes without voter approval. It is unbelievable that after the voters supported two referendums to help District 205s financial crisis that the district would pay Rockfords citizens back this way.
These groups, which have a combined membership of more than 1000 individuals, want to send a very clear message to the District 205 administration and new board majority that the community doesnt want a backdoor referendum. These groups realize that the district will simply be wasting precious tax dollars on interest payments to pay for the bonds and on attorneys fees because they will have started a new legal battle. Attorney Michael OBrien will help with the petition drive as well as provide expert legal advice to make sure the drive is done correctly.
In less than a week after R.E.A.CH.s unanimous vote, Sen. Dave Syverson, Ald. Doug Mark, School board members, Ted Biondo, Patti Delugas, Stephanie Caltagerone and David Strommer have offered support. Former school board member Bill Neblock has also pledged support. Local businesses such as The Rock River Times, Answer USA and other individuals have also offered to distribute petitions and collect signatures.
To get involved, call 749-1900 and leave a message. A volunteer from R.E.A.CH. will get back to you.

Was Michael Brown's death an "execution"?
Rev. Jesse Jackson shares his thoughts on the events in Ferguson, Missouri.
AP National Writer
They've lined the streets with police in riot gear, brought in a new black commander with an empathetic manner, imposed a curfew, lifted it and deployed the National Guard -- and still the violence erupts nightly in the town of Ferguson, Missouri.
After more than a week of unrest following the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown, an unarmed black 18-year-old, law enforcement and political leaders are left struggling for answers to a frustrating question: What can we do to restore peace to the community?
"It's the question of the week, the month and the year: How do you bring this to a conclusion?" asked Thomas Nolan, a former Boston police officer and criminal justice professor at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.
One answer, Nolan said, rests with police, who should take the initiative to meet with nonviolent protesters, pledge to scale back some of the more military-style methods of crowd control, such as sound cannons, and increase the recruitment of black police officers -- something the city said it plans to address. Only three members of Ferguson's 53-person force are black, even though about two-thirds of the residents are black.
"If the police keep showing up every night in force with a military presence, these protesters are going to keep showing up," Nolan said. "Something has got to give. ... Police are trained not to back down. I think they need to reimagine this and realize their responsibility ultimately is public safety and not to save face. If it takes making some concessions and meeting people they're not enthusiastic about meeting with -- that's what needs to be done. If not, who can say how long this goes on?"
On Tuesday, Ferguson officials released a statement, saying they plan to "learn from this tragedy" and vowed to take steps that could increase the number of black applicants to the police department and offer incentives to encourage city residency for police officers.
The statement also urged residents to remain home at night Tuesday to "allow peace to settle in," following Monday's street demonstrations that once again turned violent. The trouble began after dark when some protesters resisted police orders to disperse.
Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, who is overseeing security in Ferguson, said Molotov cocktails and bottles were thrown from the crowd and some officers came under heavy gunfire. Two fires also were set.
"These are not acts of protesters but acts of violent criminals," Johnson said at a news briefing where he also announced two people had been shot. Police fired tear gas, threw flash grenades and deployed ultra-loud sound cannons to repel the crowds.
It was the first night the National Guard was on the scene, though soldiers kept their distance from the streets. Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon, who lifted the midnight-to-5 a.m. curfew he'd imposed two days earlier, deployed the Guard for a "limited mission" to restore calm. Ferguson's violence, looting and vandalism have been sparked by the Aug. 9 fatal shooting of Brown by a white police officer.
Johnson also noted in his briefing that some of those arrested have come from out of state and said agitators intent on creating havoc are hiding among the crowds of peaceful demonstrators.
Police reported 57 arrests Monday night and Tuesday morning. Just four of those arrested live in Ferguson. More than a quarter of those arrested are from out of state, including Washington, D.C., Brooklyn, New York, Austin, Texas, San Diego and Chicago, according to a St. Louis County spokeswoman.
Dominique Adams, 30, who lives in an apartment complex near where Brown was shot, said she doesn't recognize many people she sees at the demonstrations. "I believe that the trouble is not caused by a lot of people who live here," she said. It's the outsiders, she said, who are causing the problems that force police to use tear gas. "They (the outsiders) are messing up my neighborhood," she added.
That situation just adds to law enforcement's troubles, said Eugene O'Donnell, a former police officer and prosecutor who teaches at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.
"It's exquisitely complicated in the sense that you have people there who are legitimately protesting," he said. "You may have people there intending to do civil disobedience, break the law and accept the consequences. And you may have people there who just want to go head-to-head with the police."
It's that third group, he said, "that can very well hold the cards. It's a democratic country. You have people bent on violence coming (to Ferguson) for seven seconds of cable TV glory. Unless you use repressive tactics, they may have the upper hand."

"In his blog, Barton Goldsmith has done something unique. He has assembled a remarkable list of ideas and exercises for couples that will actually work. And he has done it without the befuddlement of theory, yet every post exhibits a theory of change. It's simple. What would make marriage work for everyone is not rocket science. It is commonsense. Not a single suggestion or exercise is exotic or complicated or requires a college degree. All of them ring of commonsense. The only way a couple could fail is to not do the work." —Harville Hendrix, Ph.D.

Choosing work uniforms for your staff can be a daunting task. With so much choice of workwear on the market, it can be hard to get the right garments for the job. Here is some advice and tips on how to choose the right uniforms from workwear experts, Workwear Express.
Office Wear
Business and office wear needs to look smart, as well as being comfortable enough to sit at a desk all day.
Trousers and shirts in colours such as black, navy and white create a professional look. For a stylish edge, add your company colours in accessories such as scarves and ties.
Workwear Express now offer no minimum order for printed T-shirts thanks to their new Direct to Garment T-shirt printer.
We can now print full colour designs onto T-shirts with no set up fees, no design constrains and a fast turnaround from as little as 1 T-shirt per design.
By investing in a DTG machine, Workwear Express has increased T-shirt production capacity to 2,000 T-shirts an hour.
Direct to Garment printing is the latest technology in T-shirt customisation.
Much like an ink jet printer, the Direct to Garment machine prints a digital design directly onto a garment with specially formulated inks which are set with a heat press. A digital design is output straight from a computer and onto the garment via the DTG printer.
Workwear Express will be taking orders throughout the Christmas period, but to guarantee delivery before Christmas, you will need to order on or before the following dates to ensure your delivery reaches you before 24th of December
Workwear Express can now deliver printed and embroidered clothing even quicker with their new 72 hour Express Range.
The new 72 hour express range has just been launched for customers with a tight deadline.
Workwear Express always put the needs of their customers first, so when they asked for a faster service for their last minute promotional clothing and uniform needs, Workwear Express listened.
T-shirt printers, Workwear Express has worked with yet another high profile reality TV show. MTV recently asked us to supply printed T-shirts for their new reality TV series, The Valleys.
The white T-shirts feature a simple but eye-catching black print of The Valleys logo and a Twitter hash tag from the show.
Having worked with us in the past, MTV approached Workwear Express as they knew they would receive great quality printed T-shirts with a fast turnaround.

NEW Ron Paul Anti-WAR Site!Submitted by Robert Timsah on Tue, 10/11/2011 - 20:24
Send PROGRESSIVES to - http://ronpaulendthewars.com
This is a very simple page designed to focus on the wars as a means to get new Ron Paul supporters and donations.
The video might change, but as of now I'm going to go ahead and use the LibertyPAC video because I think it's the best out there when it comes to the anti-war push.
So from now on, if you wanna send someone to this video - send them too RONPAULENDTHEWARS.COM
If I could have it my way I'd embed a donate now FORM on the site and take donations directly from it. The campaign should be doing this. Creating issue-specific donation pages/sites for advertisements.
- I know the domain name is long, but it's actually easy to remember and logical. Feel free to e-mail to people. There are no ads and there will never be any ads. It's just a simple .html page with a video and highlights of Ron's positions. Trying to get them over to RonPaul2012.com.
Comment and vote up to increase awareness of this site. It only cost me $8 for the domain. So it's not too difficult to do.

I really like the layout
nice job and great idea. Very timely since the war drums are starting to beat for Iran.

NY prisoner shot twice in cell with Taser dies
WEST BABYLON, N.Y. — Police say a New York man in custody after a dispute with his neighbor was shot twice with a Taser stun gun in a prison cell and died.
Suffolk County police say officers used the electrical weapon in an attempt to subdue 40-year-old Daniel McDonnell after he began "acting irrationally" Friday morning while being held in a police station cell.
After the Taser, police say McDonnell suffered "respiratory distress" and was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Authorities say his death is being investigated.
The Taser was initially conceived as an alternative to deadly force. In practice, it's often fired by police officers hoping to avoid a physical struggle or to get someone to comply with an order.
McDonnell was arrested Thursday after a dispute with a neighbor in Lindenhurst.

I couldn't connect with main character
I ordered this book because I live in Alaska and I wanted to see how the author portrayed Alaska and Alaskans. (Also I live in McGrath Alaska and the author's name is McGrath.) I am an avid reader and mystery is my genre of prefference. I found I could not connect with the main character at all. The author gave bits and pieces of explainations as to why Ms. Kinglatuk was the way she was, but I just couldn't warm up to her. In fact, I did not finish this book. That is something I rarely do.
