text: La Casa is privately situated on one-half acre of ocean-front land surrounded by Mother Nature's landscaping with the Atlantic Ocean below. Anyone looking for a private getaway will find this the perfect location. The house is a durable concrete structure with high ceilings and a Caribbean architect. Many glass doors, windows and fans give the house an openness and steady fresh ocean breezes. There is also a two car garage and caretakers quarters. To ensure 24 hour electricity there is a 15KW generator and 3 invertors with batteries. All furnishings are included with the house. The outdoor bar area rapidly becomes the gathering place. The bar itself is framed with humpback whale bones collected from the Atlantic Ocean as they washed ashore. Multiple seating and lounging areas add to the comfort and create a perfect area for cocktails, grilling and reading. The swimming pool is overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and has benches, bar stools and waterfalls. The zero entry and infinity edge make you to feel as if you're plunging into the ocean. The yard is tropically landscaped with many palms and native trees. Just a short distance away rests one of the world's most stunning golf courses, Playa Grande. Driving range, chipping green, practice greens, club rental, golf lessons, carts and caddies are all available. Just a few minutes from the villa are four stunning soft-sand beaches; Playa Grande, Playa Caleton, Cabo Frances and La Entrada. Each beach is naturally landscaped with tropical coconut palm trees. Other activities close-by include hiking, waterfalls, horseback riding, whale watching (seasonal), wind-surfing at close-by Cabarete, scuba diving, fishing, eco tours and more.

Thanks for the feedback. I've fixed those issues. I see a lot of people mentioning typography in these types of threads but it's not 100% clear to me what the issue is. Is it the font size? Most of the fonts in the theme are using the default bootstrap sizing. Is it the font face? The demo uses Open Sans, which is a very common and popular google font. What am I missing?
Hi all,
I've recently started building custom Shopify themes and have found that I really enjoy the work. I built one for a client and another that I submitted to ThemeForest recently, but it was rejected for aesthetic reasons (I assume, since they didn't provide any feedback whatsoever).
I would really like to pursue this niche but I think my design skills just aren't up to scratch. I'm looking for a designer who would like to team up with me. Basically, you would build e-commerce PSDs, send them to me, then I would code them into a Shopify theme that we could sell and share profits.
As for me, I have about 16 years of experience with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and have worked in the web industry my whole adult life.
If you would be interested in a partnership, I'd love to hear from you. I can be reached at info at vectorthemes dot com. Please send some samples of your work.
Hi all,
I just submitted my first Shopify theme to ThemeForest and it was rejected. The email says it cannot be resubmitted, which is confusing to me. Does this mean that even if I work on it and make it better, I can't submit it again at all?
No specific advice from the reviewer was provided. It's frustrating considering I've spent dozens (maybe hundreds) of hours working on this, but I do know that I still have things to learn. If you could provide any constructive criticism about the theme, I would greatly appreciate it.
Here's the link:http://vector-theme.myshopify.com
Thank you!

You can downclimb from the Hostess Gully routes (also Big Time) by going to the north side and downclimb the narrow arete to a big ledge, then move back southwest onto the vertical face and with some back and forth traversing, you end up at the top of the Hostess Gully - should you ever find yourself on top without a rope.

Omya receives OK for LNG facilityBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | November 15,2012The Public Service Board has signed off on a liquefied natural gas storage facility for Omya Inc., a decision that will allow the company to switch from more expensive No. 2 fuel oil to run its Pittsford calcium carbonate plant.
In its order of Nov. 9, the PSB issued a certificate of public good for a 120,000-gallon liquefied natural gas storage facility, consisting of eight, 15,000 gallon vertical tanks.
The tanks will be built within a concrete impoundment area capable of containing all 120,000 gallons in case of a spill.
The PSB has regulatory authority over LNG storage projects under Section 248. It is the first facility of its kind in the state to be issued a certificate of public good.
Jim Stewart, Omya plant manager, said Wednesday that with the CPG in hand the next step is to complete the final design and submit that to the PSB for approval. Stewart estimated that the $8 million LNG facility would be built and online a year from now.
Omya grinds marble ore thats mixed with water to produce both a wet, or slurry, product and a dry product, both for a variety of industries.
Half of the plants production is dry product which requires the use of six dryers using No. 2 fuel oil. Omya also heats its buildings with three boilers using fuel oil.
Stewart said the Omya plant consumes an average of 900,000 liters of fuel oil a month (238,000 gallons).
According to the findings outlined in the PSBs order, liquefied natural gas has several advantages over fuel oil: it is half the price of fuel oil and has a relatively stable price and supply forecast.
There are also environmental benefits with liquefied natural gas reducing emissions, including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Omya expects two LNG deliveries a day in tanker trucks which have a maximum capacity of 13,000 gallons.
The company has identified LNG suppliers in Boston and Montreal.
The LNG storage facility could also reduce the cost for L F Carter, a Pittsford trucking company, to haul marble ore from Omyas Middlebury quarry.
Were in discussions with him to convert his fleet to LNG, Stewart said.
He said for Carter to fuel its trucks at the LNG facility requires PSB approval.
In addition to submitting its final design plans for review and approval, the CPG includes other conditions, including meeting provisions of the National Fire Protection Association.
Omyas project encountered no opposition. At a June 13 hearing at the Pittsford town offices, only one member of the public showed up and did not comment.
The state Public Service Department, the consumer advocate in utility cases, offered no objections to the project and entered into a stipulation with Omya in August.

We visited Lions Rock last weekend and had a lovely weekend, spoiled by the pouring rain on Sunday. The Lodge is very comfortable, our room had everything we could have wanted, staff were very friendly and the food was excellent. I would recommend this lodge.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the rough road to get there, although the condition of the road is pretty good. I did suggest that lighting was needed over the mirrors.
The friendly management and staff. A unique experience visiting a game farm and sanctuary at the same timeq
People who are passionate about animals! Their compassion for animals, humans and preserving our planet touches your soul! Will defanetly go back!
The early morning construction! Almost Completed!
Excellent service, friendly staff, great room, beautiful views, walking trail. Passionate people that form part of a great cause to care for mistreated or neglected big cats. We will definitely return to this lodge.
The dirt road from the Bethlehem turnoff to the lodge
Lovely aspect of Lionsrock Lodge overlooking the valley below. African style of our chalets and outdoor braai on the patio outside. Lions roar could be heard at night. Tasty breakfasts each morning in the restaurant. Excellent work the staff and volunteers are doing at this big cat sanctuary as experienced on our game drive. Easy drive to Clarens and Golden Gate National Park for exploring the area.
Problems with the water supply to our chalet on first 2 days of our stay necessitating a change of chalet after unpacking but resolved on the second day. WiFi connection was weak and only available at the main reception which closed early in the evening.
When you realise that just by being there you are helping these majestic beasts. Its an amazing feeling. my 2 small kids loved the friendly atmosphere and the animals.
Food needs to be worked on. Although its important to have good food, everything else more than makes up for it.
Accomodating and informed staff. Inspiring mission. Large menu for dinner. Great Value for money. Amazing to hear the lions roaring as you fall asleep.
The wind
The perfect place to simply unwind and re-charge your battery without any electronics! Long slow walks, sundowners on the deck and lovely sights for the artist to capture not to mention the breathtaking sun sets and lion roars. Quad bikes and swimming pools ensure there's something to do for eveybody. The staff and service was exceptional making our stay pleasant and comfortbale. The passion and dedication to provide a safe, peaceful and dignified resting place for the big cats were evdient and touched our hearts deeply. The game drive was not only informative but filled with background information on the cats and where they came from making us realise that they are truly now in paradise.
The dirt road was challenging but it was worth it!
The service was excellent and the staff was very friendly. The food in the restaurant was outstanding and the chalet we stayed in thoroughly cleaned every morning.
The road to the lodge is not in a good condition, with a gravel road of about 12 km. It will be great if more hiking trails can be established, with only one presently available, while movement on the farm restricted by guided game drives only.
We loved minute of our stay at Lionsrock. Accomadation, food, beautiful views & especially the big cats. We will definately book again. Thank you Lionsrock for a fantastic experience.
the location, the views, the friendly staff, the work they do there
The accommodation was really great and the staff very friendly and helpful. Waking up and going to sleep with the roar of lions and the laugh of the hyena. What more could one ask for. For peace and tranquillity, this is the place to go to.
We could not really find fault. The only one worth mentioning is that the rooms need a bit of maintenance done. They are still great and clean, but attention is needed.
Very nice venue, a difference is that it is focused on a charitable cause and not totally commercial. It is very good value, and for a 2 night stay, relaxed and laid back. The food is good and well prepared, and the staff really go out of their way to help. The "game drive" is informative, and does touch a nerve with the cruelty to animals that is still prevalent!
Stupid parents that take their spoilt bratish offspring on the game drives and have no idea of how to control their loud obnoxious offspring! I should of got off when they climbed on and waited for the next slot.
The views of the mountains and countryside. Proximity to wildlife.
Did not have the fridge in the room as advertised. Windows need updating.
The lodge as a hole my new friend jessy the dog all the cat's and wild life. sun set and sun rise the hold Experian's of the good thing lionsrock is doing for the cats. and other wildlife
leaving the lodge.
The setting of Lions Rock is very special. The roar of lions in the night is amazing and the staff are all very friendly.
There is no assistance with luggage if your room is far from the parking area. During my stay there were also quite a few things on the menu that were not available. The staff were very apologetic though.
The whole lodge and location. The game drive Pet friendliness 4 Paws project
Crockery in the chalet limited No clean dish cloths
Game drive where you see the different big cats was great - the guide was knowledgeable and gave you time to see the cats and take pictures etc. Restaurant food was great too.
Not much to do there besides the game drive. The hiking trail was badly signposted. I think you'd only need one night there and you would have done everything there is to do.
The setting was amazing
Food was very basic
Game Drives to sanctuary very interesting
Game drive even spotted a cheetah
Food was delicious was very restful and insightful experience. Staff was very friendly. Nice place to break away from the hustle of city life. The bathroom mirror had a light above it which were nice to see clearly.
The TV were a bit low and far from the bed. Would've been nice it were on that arms to be able to turn it. And the fridge and kettle couldn't be plugged in at the same time as the plugs were too big.
The whole experience & the good cause of the lodge. Amazing views.
Once we came off the main tarred road, one had to travel on a very rough rocky dust road for about 22km. Not suitable for a car, but is accessible.

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Place arctic char skin side down on a large piece of plastic wrap. Mix 3 Tbsp. grapefruit zest, 3 Tbsp. salt, both sugars, 1 Tbsp. crushed green peppercorns, and crushed juniper berries in a small bowl; sprinkle mixture over fish, spreading evenly and pressing gently so spices adhere. Wrap plastic tightly around fish, then wrap with another large sheet of plastic. Gently poke 24 small holes through plastic (not fish) on both sides of fish with a thin skewer or the tip of a sharp knife to allow juices to escape. Put fish on a rimmed baking sheet. Top with another rimmed baking sheet; weigh it down with two 15-oz. canned goods. Refrigerate for 2 days, turning fish after 1 day.
Remove canned goods and top baking sheet. Unwrap and discard plastic, keeping cure intact. Rewrap in clean plastic and poke holes in plastic as before. Place in a clean resealable plastic bag; refrigerate, skin side up. Chill for 1 more day. Gently scrape off cure.
Whisk crème fraîche, 2 tsp. dill, and remaining 1 tsp. crushed green peppercorns in a small bowl. Season with salt. Thinly slice gravlax on a diagonal and serve on crackers. Top with créme fraîche and garnish with re-maining 2 tsp. grapefruit zest and 1 tsp. dill.

Cyndi Lauper Discusses Longtime Support for HRC in Memoir
September 18, 2012 by HRC staff
This post comes from HRC Editorial and Digital Media Intern Leanne Naramore:
Music legend Cyndi Lauper discusses her longtime alliance with HRC in her book Cyndi Lauper: A Memoir, which was officially released today.
Lauper has supported and partnered with HRC for several years. She won HRC's National Equality Award in 2005 for her dedication to LGBT advocacy, and she performed at HRC's 2011 National Dinner. She co-founded the True Colors Fund to "inspire and engage everyone, especially straight people, to become active participants in the advancement of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality and to raise awareness about and bring an end to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth homelessness."
The True Colors Fund has partnered with HRC to raise awareness and campaign for funding on Capitol Hill to address LGBT youth homelessness. She dedicated all proceeds from her "True Colors" tour to HRC, the Matthew Shepard Foundation, PFLAG, and CenterLink, and she has long been among the most active celebrities working towards LGBT equality.
In her book, Lauper writes about her "True Colors" tour: "We never made a profit from the tour, but we did raise a lot of money and awareness for those nonprofits. And I think we changed some perceptions about the community by talking about what was going on. You see, the only thing that the LGBT community wanted and still wants is to be full-fledged citizens, with the same rights as any straight American. They pay the same taxes but they don't have the same rights."
She also tells the story of watching President Obama's inauguration at HRC's watch party in 2009: "And I looked around me in the room, at folks watching so hopeful, arm in arm. I couldn't help thinking that love is love and that maybe, someday, everybody will understand that."

On Friday, a panel of judges from the Fifth Circuit will consider whether the State of Texas should be allowed to immediately enforce the provision of HB 2 requiring abortion facilities in the state to meet the building requirements of ambulatory surgical centers.
The hundreds of lawsuits challenging the birth control benefit in the Affordable Care Act fit into a larger picture of health-care reform opponents using the courts to undermine the success of the law.
Challengers claim the administration's latest attempts to accommodate religious objections to covering birth control "change nothing."
The decision is the third from a federal appeals court to find state level marriage bans unconstitutional, as Judge Richard Posner calls out marriage equality opponents for using "unsupported conjecture" in legal arguments.
On Wednesday, a federal court in Louisiana became the first to rule against marriage equality since Windsor. Is the decision an outlier or a sign of trouble ahead at the Supreme Court?
"The national same-sex marriage struggle animates a clash between convictions regarding the value of state decisions reached by way of the democratic process," U.S. District Court Judge Martin Feldman wrote, "as contrasted with personal, genuine, and sincere lifestyle choices recognition."
The order prevents authorities in Louisiana from enforcing the law while clinics and providers continue to try and secure hospital admitting privileges.
Johnson, a college wrestler who's been charged with "recklessly infecting another with HIV," offers us a lens through which to examine how Black gay men are particularly vulnerable to HIV criminalization.
The lawsuits challenging the contraception benefit in the Affordable Care Act are less about birth control and more about a larger strategy to use the First Amendment to challenge government regulatory power.
Rarely, if ever, are Black women interviewed in the neighborhoods where they live and asked about a policy's impact on their lives. As such, I felt it was high time for me to ask Black women in my community about their lived experiences with, and connection to, the laws that secured their right to vote.

Definitions for jinja
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word jinja
Princeton's WordNet
a city in Uganda on the north shore of Lake Victoria
Shinto shrine
A Shinto shrine is a structure whose main purpose is to house one or more Shinto kami. Its most important building is used for the safekeeping of sacred objects, and not for worship. Although only one word is used in English, in Japanese Shinto shrines may carry any one of many different, non-equivalent names like gongen, -gū, jinja, jingū, mori, myōjin, -sha, taisha, ubusuna or yashiro. Structurally, a Shinto shrine is usually characterized by the presence of a honden or sanctuary, where the kami is enshrined. The honden may however be completely absent, as for example when the shrine stands on a sacred mountain to which it is dedicated, and which is worshiped directly. The honden may be missing also when there are nearby altar-like structures called himorogi or objects believed capable of attracting spirits called yorishiro that can serve as a direct bond to a kami. There may be a haiden and other structures as well. However, the shrines' most important building is used for the safekeeping of sacred objects rather than for worship.

"Tantorum" Assigned to Santorum By Romney Campaign: Santorum Loses Cool with Media
Published on March 26th, 2012 @ 09:54:43 am , using 564 words
FRANKSVILLE, Wis. -- What started as a good day for Rick Santorum took an abrupt turn on Sunday after the GOP presidential candidate grew frustrated with reporters asking him to clarify his remark that Mitt Romney is the worst Republican in the country to take on President Obama.
During his final campaign stop of the day here, Santorum said of Romney, "Pick any other Republican in the country, he is the worst Republican in the country to put up against Barack Obama." The comments, Santorum would clarify, were in reference to the similarities between Romney's and the president on the issue of health care. It is a common critique he levels against his chief rival, but never has the former Pennsylvania senator called Romney the "worst Republican in the country" to go head-to-head with the president.
When pressed by reporters to clarify his statement, Santorum said, "On the issue of health care. That's what I was talking about, and I was very clear about talking about that. OK? Come on guys, don't do this. I mean you guys are incredible. I was talking about Obamacare, and he is the worst because he was the author of Romneycare."
But the questions struck a chord with Santorum, and when he faced the same question again, he used a profane word and accused the media of "distorting" his speech.
However a press release sent out from the Santorum campaign shortly after the rally here seemed to double down on the candidate's comments. "Rick Santorum spoke plainly and clearly that of all the Republicans in the field, Mitt Romney is the worst possible candidate to take on Barack Obama, because Mitt Romney authored the blueprint for Obamacare and the issue of healthcare would be off the table," the release said.
Santorum has done a lot of clarifying lately, with recent comments suggesting Obama would be a better choice than Romney in a general election and saying the unemployment rate will not affect his campaign. In both cases, he accused the media and his opponents of taking his words out of context. But in both cases, the Romney campaign used his own words against him.
Sunday's remarks were no exception, with Romney spokesperson Ryan Williams telling reporters, "Rick Santorum is becoming more desperate and angry and unhinged every day...He's panicking in the final stages of his campaign."
Before his last event, Santorum had been all smiles on the trail the day after receiving nearly double the amount of support Romney did in the Louisiana primary. Along with two rallies today, the GOP hopeful also fit in brunch at the Machine Shed and, for the second time in as many days, a few frames of bowling. In an earlier rally in Fond du Lac, WI, Santorum drew an overflow crowd.
But by Sunday's end, Romney advisers were using the hash tag "Tantorum" to draw attention to past instances of the former senator losing his cool. The response blasted out by the Santorum campaign no mention of his use of a not so family friendly word.
Santorum heads to Washington, DC where he will spend Monday before returning to the Badger State later in the week.

Disgruntled Adult Easter-Egg Hunters Prompt Event Cancellation: Parent's Aggressive Involvement Key
Published on March 26th, 2012 @ 09:30:53 am , using 439 words
MyFox21, Colorado
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Sorry kids, but there will not be an Easter egg hunt in Old Colorado City this year.
The free Springtime event held at Bancroft Park attracts hundreds of families every year. Thousands of candy-filled plastic eggs are scattered across the park for kids to collect. But, thanks to greedy parents, the annual event has been cancelled.
"It's sort of got out of hand," Dave Van Ness, executive director for the Old Colorado City Associates, said.
Organizers of the hunt said parents are getting to be too aggressive when it comes to gathering eggs with their children.
"There were disgruntled people because there either weren't enough eggs to go around or some kids didn't get one," Van Ness said. "Parents would get aggressive."

|Special court helps veterans
Van Ness said it is unfortunate that parents have seemingly taken the fun out of what was meant to be a fun-filled community event, but that they had no other choice but to cancel the yearly tradition.
"Rather than create ill will, let's just not do it," he said.
Chris Greene, a father of six, said he is disappointed by the parents' actions.
"What kind of role model are you as a parent if your actions are cancelling an event your child is going to remember for the rest of your life?" Greene said.
Not only is the cancellation disappointing to some parents, but owners of businesses located near Bancroft Park are upset, too.
"We're very disappointed that the exposure that we would normally have we're not going to get this year," Molly Smith, owner of Republic of Paws, said.
Van Ness said the egg hunt event was also designed to help attract customers to businesses in Old Colorado City but that hasn't really been the case.
"It's a catch 22," Maureen Bird, an employee of Nice 'N Naughty, said. "You get the people in Old Colorado City, but you also get people who are here for a family event and they're not shopping."
Whether or not the event creates revenue for nearby businesses, those that live and work in the area said they want to see parents act their age.
"Just chill out a little bit," Jennifer Reid, a teacher in Old Colorado City, said. "Let these kids enjoy it!"
Van Ness said he is not sure if the Easter egg hunt will be back on next year.

Obamacare's Survival at Supreme Court: Unpopular Law Promotes Win-Win Scenario For US Right-Wing
Published on March 25th, 2012 @ 11:51:27 pm , using 1149 words
By JIM KUHNHENN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON The Supreme Court's ruling on the constitutionality of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is likely to shake the presidential election race in early summer. But the winners in the court will not necessarily be the winners in the political arena.
No doubt, a decision to throw out the entire law would be a defeat for Obama. His judgment and leadership, even his reputation as a former constitutional law professor, would be called into question for pushing through a contentious and partisan health insurance overhaul only to see it declared unconstitutional by the court.
But it would not spell certain doom for his re-election. In fact, it would end the GOP argument that a Republican president must be elected to guarantee repeal of the law. It also could re-energize liberals, shift the spotlight onto insurance companies and reignite a debate about how to best provide health care.
If the court upholds the law, Obama would be vindicated legally. Republican constitutional criticisms would be undercut because five of the nine justices were nominated by Republican presidents.
But opposition would intensify in the political world. Without legal recourse, Republicans would gain new energy to argue that the only path to kill the law would be to elect a Republican president and enough GOP candidates to control the House and Senate. They might be wary of promising overnight repeal because a filibuster-proof Senate majority seems beyond their reach in the November election.
Central to the dispute over the law is a provision that requires individuals to have health insurance by 2014 or pay a penalty. Polls show that this mandate is opposed by 3 of 5 Americans. Among Republicans, calls for its repeal are a surefire applause line.
Of the four federal appeals courts that have ruled, two upheld the law, one struck down only the insurance mandate and one punted, saying an obscure tax law makes it premature to decide the merits until the main coverage provisions take effect in 2014.
With the court hearing arguments Monday through Wednesday, operatives from both parties have been playing out the potential outcomes. It's a calculation complicated by the intensely polarized public attitudes toward the law, by the still unsettled race for the Republican nomination and, most important, by the range of potential decisions by the court.
"A lot of the arguments that are being made against it right now are that they violate basic constitutional rights and principles," said Tad Devine, a veteran consultant of Democratic presidential politics. "If the Supreme Court, controlled by Republicans, doesn't agree with that, I think it's going to be hard to make that argument."
"If they strike down the mandate," he added, "it takes away a lot of the attack against the president on that issue."
White House and Obama campaign officials would not publicly discuss the options ahead, worried they would be perceived as trying to influence the court. But the Obama campaign has begun to draw attention to the benefits of the law, hoping to counter the beating the law has taken from the GOP presidential candidates.
This past week, it posted a new health care app online where users can find out how the health care law affects them. It also launched a website that features testimonials about the law.
The campaign's Obama Twitter account drew attention Thursday to that "Faces of Change" website and to the law's second anniversary, a day after White House spokesman Jay Carney dismissed any observance of the bill's signing as something "that only those who toil inside the Beltway focus on."
On Friday, the White House released a report that promoted achievements such as coverage for young adults and omitted any mention of problems, including the little or no progress toward carrying out the law in many states. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a statement the law "gives hard working middle-class families the security they deserve."
Privately, many Democrats concede that repeal of the law would be represent a huge public relations problem for Obama, though one he could overcome if the court issues its opinion in June, as expected.
Republicans appear divided on the results.
Republican strategist Greg Mueller, who works on many conservative causes, said that if the law is upheld, the conservative base will be energized; if the law is declared unconstitutional, it will display Obama's overreach.
"I don't think there is a bad scenario for Republican candidates," he said.
Not all see it that way.
Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa said this past week an Obama victory would be more assured if the court strikes down the individual mandate, as King would like.
"I think then that there is more risk that President Obama will be re-elected because people will think they are protected from this egregious reach into our freedom," King said.
"If the Supreme Court finds it constitutional," he added, "then I believe Barack Obama will not be re-elected because they will understand that they have to vote him out of office to repeal it."
The public's broad respect for the Supreme Court as an institution is also a factor.
"I think a wide swath of the people will say 'if the court says it's kosher, then it's kosher.' I think in many ways that will be the final word," said John Feehery, a former top Republican House leadership aide. "That doesn't mean the controversy is going to go away because this law is so massive and has so many parts that haven't been implemented yet, including the individual mandate."
The court's decision could affect the Republican presidential contest, too.
A court opinion in June would come at the tail end of the GOP primaries and ahead of the Republican National Convention.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania has elevated the health care law to his top campaign issue. He argues he would be best equipped to carry the repeal banner. Front-runner, Mitt Romney, as governor of Massachusetts, signed into law a health overhaul similar to Obama's, with an insurance requirement as part of it.
Romney has said he would seek to repeal the federal health care law, but has stood behind Massachusetts'. He argues these decisions should be left to states.
"Well, that's pretty compelling," Santorum countered sarcastically Wednesday at a rally near the shores of Louisiana's Lake Pontchartrain.
"Why would conservatives, Republicans, take the biggest issue in this race - freedom, and its impact on the economy, on your life, on your economic well-being, on your religious liberty - why would we take that issue and turn it around and give it to Barack Obama instead of using it like a sledge hammer?" he asked.
It's a case that Santorum pledges to take all the way to the floor of the convention, if he somehow manages to accomplish his long-shot goal of denying Romney enough delegates to win the nomination outright.

Mitt Romney's Cousin Speaks Out on Mormonism: Park Romney , Former Mormon Priest, Quit Church
Published on March 25th, 2012 @ 11:07:42 pm , using 739 words
BBC news
"I became convinced that it's a fraud," Park Romney told the BBC, explaining his reason for leaving the Mormon fold.
The two visions of Mormonism the Romney cousins present could not be more starkly opposed.
Park Romney, 56, is a former Mormon high priest, who turned against the church.
On the stump Mitt Romney, 65, has avoided mentioning Mormonism, instead talking generally about his faith, but he has been an active lifelong member of the church.
"If that is what they believe, it's probably a good thing they leave, because we're not a cult"~Jeffrey Holland Mormon Church Elder
He was a Mormon missionary to France in the 1960s, studied at the almost-exclusively Mormon Brigham Young university and rose to become first bishop, then "Stake President" (diocesan leader) in his home state of Massachusetts.
He led Sunday services, ran Bible classes for children and looked after a 4,000-strong congregation in Boston for five years in the 1980s.
Like all Mormons, he is expected to give 10% of his annual income - no-one knows how much he is worth, but it is estimated at anywhere from $150 million to $1 billion - to the Church and not drink tea, coffee or alcohol.
Committed Mormons wear special under-garments, and Romney is believed to follow this tenet of his faith too.
Park Romney's criticisms of the church are fundamental.
Along with other ex-Mormons, he questions founder Joseph Smith's prophecies - for example Smith's translation of an Egyptian scroll, part of the Mormon book of Abraham, which Egyptologists say is a fraud.
"There's compelling evidence that the Mormon Church leaders knowingly and wilfully misrepresent the historical truth of their origins and of the Church for the purpose of deceiving their members into a state of mind that renders them exploitable," says Park.
Such accusations are rarely heard in the US, a nation founded on the principle of freedom of religion.
"It's not something you're supposed to talk about," says Prof Robert Putnam of Harvard Kennedy School.
"Whenever the issue of Romney's Mormonism has come to the surface, there's been lots of condemnation across the political spectrum for raising the issue of his religion," says Putnam.
"I'm not saying it's not relevant, but it's not talked about in polite company."
Mitt Romney's biographer, Scott Helman, agrees.

"There are plenty of ways in which people try to cause alarm among some voters over it, but it's not something you're allowed to say explicitly," he says.
"But a certain function of reminding voters who might have some predisposed notion about Mormonism that maybe it is strange, maybe it's weird."
Ex-Mormons tend to be the church's most outspoken critics.
One thing that particularly agitates them is "shunning" - allegations that former church members are denied access to family members who remain in the church.
Park claims this has happened to him.
"I am alienated from my family," he told the BBC.
"Their doctrine, their protocol and their culture as enforced by bishops encourages the families to disassociate themselves from the apostate."
Mormon Church elder Jeffrey Holland denies shunning occurs.
"We don't use that word and we don't know that practice.
"If I had a son or a daughter who left the Church or was alienated or had a problem, I can tell you I would not cut that child out of family life," he states.
The Mormon Church maintains that it does a great deal of good. Its leaders say they have given more than $1bn in aid around the world since 1985.
The allegation that the Church is a cult, made by Park Romney and other ex-Mormons, is denied by Elder Holland.
"If that is what they believe, it's probably a good thing they leave, because we're not a cult.
"I have chosen this church because of the faith that I feel and the inspiration that comes, but if people want to call us a cult, you can call us a cult," Elder Holland says from behind his desk.
"But we are 14 million and growing."

While on a Santa Claus themed bar crawl this weekend, I witnessed many people, who had been downing holiday shots for several hours, throwing up the goods. This unfortunately ingrained memory made me cringe just slightly when I saw the title of J. Nolan and Yung B's newest single Throw It Up, but thankfully the song does not feature anyone puking, heaving or praying to the Porcelain God. What it does feature are two very talented emcees, backed by a crisp, had-nodding beat, courtesy of Yung B. As the chime-based beat rolls, B and Nolan deliver straightforward verses, highlighted by Nolan's interesting, speedy delivery on verse two. Though non-alcoholic, the duo's chemistry and authentic hip hop sound may have you feeling a little intoxicated. For more check out the duo's forthcoming LP The Upbringing, out next week.

I can remember a time when my grandparents would joke about their forgetfulness. I can also remember my mother searching throughout her home for her glasses and muttering under her breath, "I am becoming my mother."
But I also remember a few years later when no one in our family joked about my mother's forgetfulness because like millions of other families we were living with Alzheimer's, and our mother's health was deteriorating rapidly.
A talented young reporter once seemed stunned to hear me say that one day most people probably would get all of their news, including their hometown news, from Web and mobile devices.
One of my favorite authors described the importance of George Washington as the "Founding Father" this way: "Fatherhood, as any society understands it, is the result of training and an act of will. A man who would be a father in name only as well as fact must go beyond what is merely natural. A father is a man who follows through."
With summer thunderstorms rumbling through town nearly every afternoon or evening, it is important to have on hand several items in the house. Things like flashlights, candles and matches are all important, but I learned there is one more: nine-volt batteries.
Attention, single people: If you meet a reporter through online dating site eHarmony, run the other way.
Not because reporters make bad partners — not that I'm saying they make good ones, either — but because eHarmony put out a list last week of the "15 reasons to date a reporter," and little on the list resembles the people in any newsroom I ever worked in or passed through, so I question whether the reporters on eHarmony are telling the truth about their occupation.
Superlatives are funny things.
Those are the words we use when we describe things that are extremes – the most, best, least, worst, first, last, highest, lowest, only, and on and on and on.
But superlatives are kind of like statistics. You can use them accurately, but without context they can mislead the listener.
For instance, consider the boast last week by Senate leader Phil Berger that "more North Carolinians are going to work today than ever before."
Months before my graduation from Western Carolina University I was already counting down the weeks to crossing the stage and taking my empty diploma holder out of Chancellor David Belcher's hand. Week after week, I wiped down my little chalkboard and wrote in the new number of how much time was left. I'd even snap a photo to display on Facebook and remind everyone else how I was already out the door mentally when it came to my schooling.
This past week has been a most interesting week involving education in our county.
When I was in sixth grade, an F1 tornado ripped through my neighborhood in Mount Holly, outside of Charlotte.
That evening, bulbous, anvil-topped clouds inched over the neighborhood while my family and I took our evening summer stroll. Already nervous of storms, I kept pointing out the clouds to my parents.
Today much is being discussed throughout the country when it comes to increasing access to healthier foods, and Caldwell County is no exception. Some refer to this as the "from the fields to the table movement," which would seek to grow more food locally and increase access to healthier foods for everyone. Some counties, like Caldwell County, are trying to develop a Farm and Food Council.
First, let's get the crazy out of the way: What would be great is if someone would build a six-story apartment building downtown with a rooftop-patio restaurant.
That's not going to happen, but if you could see the view that place would have, you wouldn't think the rooftop restaurant part of that idea was crazy.
Item in the news last week: "Facebook is rolling out a new tool that allows its users to track their friends in real time.
"Flipping on the feature in the Facebook mobile app lets you share your general or specific location with friends."
Last week, along with Matt Underwood, Keith Nordan and Jenny Wheelock, I attended the North Carolina Main Street Conference in New Bern. This annual meeting was originally scheduled for January but had been postponed due to a winter storm.
New Bern itself is an interesting example of what can be done on Main Street.
After some students at Hudson Middle School mistook a knife in a man's belt in the parking lot for a gun on Thursday, law enforcement officials recommended "soft" lockdowns (where the outer doors are locked but the school day otherwise is supposed to go on as normal indoors) of 11 schools.
And then we saw a demonstration of how information spreads today.
Who are the most important people in a community?
Some would say the company owners and company officials. Others would say government leaders, while still others would mention teachers, police and fire staff.
But I would venture to say the most important person in Caldwell County is a volunteer.
Let's be 100 percent clear about this: There is no survey that designated the Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton area as one of the nation's "most miserable cities," no matter what you read on Facebook or in a newspaper or saw on the Charlotte TV news.
One part of history here that is written down in various places is that Lenoir used to host annual furniture market trade shows. I had forgotten about that until I interviewed Alex Bernhardt Jr. and Rountree Collett last week about the 125th anniversary of the founding of Bernhardt Furniture Co., and the topic of "the Market" came up.
You can find at least elements of the history online, though it takes some work. But much of the history you won't find.
Yes, spring has finally, and with it comes a forecast of possible snow this week. Who said life was fair?
You know why incorrect use of certain words has become common usage? Because not enough people have bothered to learn what's correct. That isn't a good reason to lower your standards. It's like the language equivalent of grade inflation -- if no one can earn an A anymore, just lower the bar so what used to get a B grade is now worth an A.
Winter has been with us a bit longer this year. In fact two weeks ago when it was snowing someone asked me if it reminded me of my time in Minnesota, and my response was, "Yes, spring in Minnesota."
Last weekend, when I returned for a visit to my former home, I was once again reminded that a few days of snow in North Carolina hardly compare to winter in Minnesota. I was attending the wedding of a family friend, and it provided a wonderful opportunity to see other friends. The entire time I wondered, "How do these people stand the winters, and did I really do this for 10 years?"
Election season has barely begun, but the letters to the editor and phone calls tell me that primary season may be a rough one for local races.
That makes this a good time to brush up on the News-Topic's guidelines for election-related letters.
This past Tuesday really was a great day to do business in Caldwell County.
The Caldwell County Economic Development Commission hosted its annual celebration, and like last year there was a great deal to celebrate. Seventeen companies, or the Class of 2013, were honored for their growth and expansion in 2013, with millions and millions of dollars invested in the county and hundreds of new employees added.
Now just a cotton-pickin' minute here.
Do you mean to tell me that someone is trying to move Mayberry out of North Carolina to some spot way up North?
Uh-uh, naw sir, that won't do. That won't do ay-tall.
I'm much less worried about an endless academic study of newsroom behavior (which, believe me, is more seat-of-the-pants than anyone on the right or left would like to believe) than I am the complete separation between the reality I live in and the one that some others live in.
Like many other North Carolinians concerned about our environment, I have been watching the news of the Dan River with great interest.
Environmental tourism is a large contributor to the economic vitality of our state, whether it's the mountains, the beaches or our many winding rivers. People choose to visit here and live here because of the beauty of our state, and all of our companies need to be outstanding stewards and protect our resources.
