N.Y. man accused of fifth DUISeptember 07,2013NY man charged
with his fifth DUI
BENNINGTON A New York man is facing his fifth charge of drunken driving.
Tracy Moore, 49, of Hoosick Falls, N.Y., pleaded innocent to the felony charge Tuesday in Bennington criminal court. He was released without bail.
Police said Moores blood-alcohol content was 0.17 percent at a sobriety checkpoint on Hunt Street in Bennington at about 9:15 p.m. Friday. A second test around 11 p.m. recorded 0.147 percent, police said. The legal limit for driving in Vermont is 0.08 percent.
Tienken said Moores previous DUI convictions were all in New York: June 1987, June 1989, July 1997 and May 2008.
Moore was allowed to drive home to Hoosick Falls after his plea, but ordered not to drive after that.MORE IN This Just InRichard Rivers has settled his lawsuit against the Vermont State Fair. Full StoryVermonts lowest-paid wage earners will see a boost Jan. Full StoryKillington reviews Full Story

Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam Reviews
The Best Cleanser Out ThereI have used every product under the sun from Nutrogena to Clearasil to ProActive and this is the best product by far. I got this product (all three steps) from Sephora in the travel size to test out to see if I liked it and amazingly it made me change from proactive (which was bleaching all my clothes and bedding out). If you have tried everything...try this one I am sure it won't let you down. Plus you can always go buy it when it is Clinique bonus time and get free make up! — 6 years, 12 months agoTiff172 | 3 reviews

Love it!I was one of 1,000 lucky ones to win Cliniques 3 step acne solutions from from a magazine contest and I am just amazed how wonderful this product is. Without winning the contest I probably would not have bought it. I am so greatful. Ever since, I make sure I purchase the cleasing foam on a monthly basis and at a reasonable price for the good it does! It keeps my face soft, smooth and blemish free!!! Highly recommended!!! — 6 years, 12 months agomlbake1 | 1 reviews

Best Acne CleanserBefore using Clinique Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam, I had tried every acne cleanser under the sun, including ProActive and nothing seemed to clear up my skin. Clinique Acne Foam was the only thing that worked! I highly recommend this cleanser. — 6 years, 12 months agotgpez21 | 3 reviews
Finally!This really does work. I've been on prescription acne medication for years now but they never worked as well as this. I love it, my skin is so smooth and I very rarely have any spots. It's cost efficient too. This kit is only meant to last a month but it's been a month and half for me. — 6 years, 6 months agopurpleshells | 6 reviews

Just buy the barIt's awesome on its own. Those other products send my skin into a frenzy and make my acne worse. The bar on it's own does the trick, and it lasts forever. Lots of bang for your buck. — 6 years, 12 months agoHolliD | 3 reviews

Healthier skin than ever!!At first I was a little afraid to use this 3 step because of the ingredients, it seemed to be too strong. I started with the starter kit, and now I love it!! My skin now is not only blemish free, but it is smoother, and healthier than ever!! — 6 years, 12 months agoDulceramos | 6 reviews
Decent ResultsI've used this for a month now with pretty decent results - it has cleared up any blemishes that were present. The only downside is that I find it to be drying, so I occassionally alternate with a gentler regimen of products. — 6 years, 12 months agoBeamDP | 3 reviews
Didn't helpApparently my experience is the total opposite of the other people who have reviewed this product so far. The cleanser didn't feel like it really cleaned my skin and it actually dried it out. The clarifying lotion is okay for spot treatments bit it also made my skin super dry. Now you would hope that the face lotion would make up for that, but it had absolutely no effects, my skin was still super ...read moredry. The only thing that has worked even a little bit for me is the clarifying lotion, which I use for really bad breakouts because it dries them out better than any other acne spot cream I've used. The cleanser didn't cleanse and the moisturizer didn't moisturize. I will not purchase these products again and will stick to my drugstore cleanser. — 6 years, 12 months agojennger | 3 reviews

Fantastic CleansingAfter trying this great cleansing foam, I am hooked. It's easy to use and leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without that drying feeling I have gotten with other brands. I recommend trying this and seeing for yourself the deep clean and silky after feeling you get with this product. — 7 years, 1 month agolexie511 | 3 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

EEOC warns PTC Police Chief Clark: Stop intimidating witnesses
'... [T]he Commission has reason to believe that you may be engaging in conduct which has the effect of controlling or intimidating witnesses who could be required to testify during (the) investigation.'
Peachtree City Police Chief H.C. "Skip" Clark has been warned to "cease and desist" intimidating witnesses in a discrimination case pending before the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
What started in February 2011 as an EEOC complaint by former Peachtree City Police staff assistant Lisa Ficalore against Chief Clark on grounds of discrimination due to gender and disabilities has turned into two amended charges in April 2011 and an April 2012 letter from the Atlanta EEOC director telling Clark that the commission has reason to believe that he engaged in conduct that amounts to controlling or intimidating witnesses in Ficalore's complaint.
A new filing on May 18 by Ficalore is charging retaliation over the elimination of her full-time position with benefits in City Hall earlier this month by the City Council. Ficalore's was the only actively-filled position eliminated.
In mid-April, Atlanta EEOC Director Bernice Williams-Kimbrough sent Clark a letter informing him that the letter serves as a request to cease and desist from engaging in any conduct that could hamper, impede or affect the outcome of the EEOC investigation into the Ficalore complaint.
"The Commission believes it is currently in possession of sufficient information to justify filing a petition in the federal district court for preliminary injunctive relief to stop such conduct," the letter said.
"... [T]he Commission has reason to believe that you may be engaging in conduct which has the effect of controlling or intimidating witnesses who could be required to testify during (the) investigation. Any attempt to intimidate, coerce or retaliate against witnesses or otherwise affect witness testimony in an ongoing investigation is strictly prohibited."
Referencing federal law, Williams-Kimbrough noted that anyone who compromises the integrity of a federal administrative investigation can be subject to a fine and/or imprisoned for up to five years.
Supporting Ficalore's position, and filed with the second amendment to the complaint, were notes from city Human Resources Administrator Ellece Brown, who had documented two conversations with Maj. Mike Dupree, now retired, and one conversation with Capt. Stan Pye. Dupree was the second in command of the department under both Chief Clark and former Chief James Murray.
Though Ficalore's name was not specifically mentioned in Brown's notes on the conversations with Dupree and Pye, Ficalore's attorney Ed Buckley last week said that he had no doubt that their comments pertained to Ficalore and/or the internal investigation of the EEOC complaint.
Brown in the first conversation with Dupree, on March 16, 2011, began with Dupree saying he was concerned about what was going on in the police department.
Dupree told Brown that people were talking about many different things and that "everybody is very antsy." Dupree referenced a conversation that Capt. Stan Pye said he had with Clark earlier in the day. Dupree said he had a similar conversation with Clark.
"Major further explained that everyone was afraid of retaliation. You don't know who to trust; that's why he was talking in a low voice to me. All of us feel under the gun. 'It's not a good work environment,'" Brown said in her notes of Dupree's comments.
A second conversation between Brown and Dupree occurred on March 21, 2011. Brown's notes said that Dupree told Clark he did not want to put himself in the middle of the situation at which point Clark replied, "Well, you are in the middle of it," adding that he wanted Dupree to have his back.
"Major Dupree said, 'I am going to tell the truth.' Major Dupree explained that Chief Clark was really upset. Chief Clark said that he has got to know that Major Dupree is going to get his back. Then Chief Clark said, 'If you don't get my back, it will be bad,'" Brown's notes said.
Ficalore's amendment also contained Brown's notes from a March 16, 2011 conversation with Capt. Stan Pye that was made to confirm an appointment that day with city attorney Ted Meeker and Doug Duerr that had been scheduled by Human Resources. Pye had notified Clark of the scheduled meeting and asked if he was in trouble.
"The chief responded that it depended on how Stan answered his questions. Stan was perplexed and asked me if this meant he was in trouble with the chief if he answered questions in a certain way. Stan further explained that this was the climate in the police department. 'Everybody is scared to death.' Stan stated that the chief told him several months ago that it was easy to get rid of people. He said he could get rid of people in one day. Stan believes that if certain questions are asked in this matter, things could get really ugly. He is concerned about this and his job," according to Brown's notes.
Pertaining to the second amended charge, Buckley in April 2012 wrote to Atlanta EEOC representative David Hendrickson stating that it appears that Clark is engaged in the active intimidation of at least two witnesses in Ficalore's complaint. Buckley asked that EEOC investigate.
For the city's part, City Manager Jim Pennington on Tuesday said he had not seen the letter from EEOC to Clark and, besides that, he could have no comment since the matter involves an EEOC complaint and the city does not comment on those matters.
The various filings in the EEOC case include allegations such as Ficalore being subject to a hostile work environment based on gender and disabilities, that she was denied training that others received, that Clark changed Ficalore's score on a performance evaluation to a lower score, that Peachtree City Police Capt. Stan Pye and former Maj. Mike Dupree based on conversations with Clark told city Human Resources Administrator Ellece Brown that "everyone is afraid of retaliation" and that "everybody is scared to death."
Documents provided by Ficalore's attorney, Ed Buckley, also show an April letter from EEOC Atlanta Director Bernice Williams-Kimbrough advising Clark that the Commission has reason to believe that he may be engaging in conduct which has the effect of controlling or intimidating witnesses in the case.
And finally, the most recent filing on May 18 alleges retaliation for the elimination of Ficalore's full-time job in City Hall effective June 1.
The initial EEOC complaint was filed in February 2011 by former Peachtree City Police staff assistant Lisa Ficalore alleging discrimination based on gender and disabilities. Prior to Clark's hire in 2008, Ficalore had served as administrative assistant to former Chief James Murray.
Ficalore in the February 2011 complaint claimed that Clark demoted her and cut her pay in October 2008 when her position was "reclassified" from administrative assistant to staff assistant.
"In October 2008, Chief Clark asked the City Council to reclassify me, lower my job title, pay grade and class level as well as my pay and max-out salary while telling me he fought hard to avoid my pay being affected," the complaint said.
Ficalore in the complaint also contends that she received a score of "5 out of a possible 5" that is equivalent to "outstanding" on her job performance evaluations for six consecutive years prior to Clark's arrival. Things changed in October 2009 when she received a score of "3" on her evaluation, the complaint said.
The complaint notes that Ficalore suffers from chronic endometriosis and chronic allergies and has had to take medical leaves to treat those problems, with five surgeries in the past nine years. Ficalore said Clark was documenting her sick time and had sent her supervisors to the city's human resources department to inquire "what they could 'do to me' because of my use of sick time."
Ficalore said things changed even more in 2010 maintaining that Clark changed the score on her performance evaluation after it had been completed by her immediate supervisor.
"Between October 2010 and December 2010 I received three separate evaluations prior to finally getting my final evaluation two months late. I was told by my immediate supervisor, Claudia Stapleton, that this was due to the chief changing the scores she had written in. Claudia scored me in the high '4s' and the chief lowered it to a low '3.' Ms. Stapleton was clear with me that she did not agree with the chief and that I was doing a wonderful job and that she would have given me a higher score," the complaint said.
The February 2011 complaint stated that in August 2010 Clark required Ficalore to provide notes concerning her condition and prognosis and that in January 2011 prior to a scheduled surgery she was told to train a police sergeant who was on light duty to temporarily replace her. Later the same day she was told that she would be temporarily assigned to City Hall.
Ficalore in the February 2011 complaint also stated that she had been made to work in a hostile work environment, that she "experienced negative gender stereotypes from some of my coworkers and from the new chief in particular," that Clark had told others that she was "useless" and that "he wants to get rid of me." Ficalore said that Clark on one occasion wrote her up "for being two minutes late to work." And Ficalore maintains that in April 2010 she was denied training that others received.
An amendment to the February 2011 complaint was filed with EEOC in April of that year. The amendment, a claim of retaliation, stated that Ficalore believed she had been singled out due to her gender, had suffered a number of adverse actions and had been repeatedly singled out by Clark. This type of work environment continued until she was transferred out of the police department.
Another portion of the April 2011 amendment stated Ficalore's belief that the retaliation was also a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.
A second amended charge to the discrimination complaint was filed with EEOC in April 2012. In that amendment Ficalore said she had repeatedly applied for positions with Peachtree City for which she was well-qualified but had been rejected in favor of less-qualified applicants.
"Recently, I learned that the determination had been made not to transfer me out of my current position (in City Hall) as long as my EEOC charge is pending. I am not allowed to work comp time. I have been denied the opportunity to take vacation. I have been written up for taking even small increments of time off without pay. I have learned that since I filed my charge of discrimination the chief of police has intimidated witnesses, telling one that if he didn't 'get his back' things would be 'bad' and to another that it is 'easy to get rid of people.'"
Ficalore has remained at City Hall since her transfer there to a front desk position in January 2009. But that is about to change due to a move approved by the City Council earlier this month. Pennington in a proposal to reorganize City Hall recommended, and the council approved, that Ficalore's position be eliminated and two part-time positions without benefits be created. No other currently filled jobs in City Hall were recommended for elimination. Ficalore in response filed another document with EEOC alleging retaliation for the action that eliminates her full-time job.
"Shortly after I filed my second amended charge (on April 12, 2012), I was denied FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) leave. I have learned that my supervisor started keeping notes on her computer concerning my comings and goings on April 12. On May 16, my position was eliminated effective June 1. I have been given a choice between taking a part-time position and six weeks of severance. In the part-time position I lose not only my salary, but also my pension which will accrue at a much lower rate now, sick leave, medical and dental insurance, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability and the employer contribution to my 401k/457 plan, vacation, holiday pay and overtime pay. My employer did this knowing that because of my disability I need the sick leave and the short-term and long-term disability leave," Ficalore said in the May 18 retaliation filing.
For Lisa Ficalore, her time in Peachtree City government will either end on June 1 or will continue in a part-time position with a loss of benefits.
As for what the future holds and in terms of a law suit being filed, Buckley said, "If the city doesn't rectify it that's the next step."
I am sorry but boohoo..I am a woman and the whining stuff doesn't cut it in this world. I had pneumonia and worked half days for 2 weeks. I have worked with women that have "chronic" conditions and are real whiners. If she was really performing they would cut her some slack because great employees are hard to find. City employees have been asked to go above and beyond and sorry but that what it takes in this economy whether in the public or private sector.
Lisa is not a suck it up and go to work kind of person. She is always victimized and always looking for an excuse. All this is certainly just my humble opinion and therefore exempt from testimony or depositions. Yes, I have been threatened with both. My God, you have to love lawyers.
As I said before, when you have 2 jobs in a row where your job was eliminated and no one was assigned to replace you --- well, Helloooooo! Actually it is Goodbye.
I am not opposed to the concept, even if it involves a headcase employee. He simply needs to go, and the sooner the better. Turn the department back over to the professional law enforcement personnel already employed there who are more qualified and experienced to run the department than Skippy ever was in the first place.
I don't know what the Logsdon Council was thinking in hiring him in the first place, but I have no doubt that good 'ol Bernie had a major role in it also. Let's remove this mistake and carry on in a better direction.
I don't feel like working anymore, how about you? My dad worked after his stroke until the doctor told him he needed to stop...He was a class act. He wasn't trying to get SSI or disability or try to sue..He worked until the doctor told him no more and then unfortunately passed shortly after..
First we had the porn queen and now this. Its a good thing our pd sets quotas on tickets because we are going to need the extra money to pay for this one. How much are they going to raise our taxes to pay for this kind of incompetence?
The mayors runaway mouth is going to be cheap compared to this mistake. The penalties for retaliation in an EEOC case I believe still start @ a cool million dollars and go up from there.
Chief clark is just imitating the absurd and illegal behavior of the incredible bully who was his best pal - Bernie McMullen. The former city manager insulted, ignored, and pushed peole around like a street gang member, and Skip took his cues accordingly. Bernie set a strong and ugly tone for intimidation and corrupt practices for many years, and old Skip just towed the line. Why would anyone be surprised at any of this?
PTC is not going to pay for this anyway. Fayette county residents carry the corrupt PTC municipality. LIKE BEFORE.
Just like the water system, that Fayette County owns but PTC claims. Fayette County will pay to have the lake dredged. Fayette County also pays for the Reck department. PTC takes money (150K+ a year) from Fayette county taxpayers and then excludes residents from using the facilities or charges residents more than citizens of PTC.
How is it a land owning citizen that lives on Water Front Lake Peachtree pays less property taxes than a Fayette County Resident's property with no such amenities. PTC whores Fayette county residents. PTC is the living Hypocrisy of Fayette County.
Mut Kat are you the true PTC Aryan race? Do you think you are apart of the Delta dynasty that inbreeds the corruption of PTC.
Do you still wear you docker shorts and penny loafers?
How straight is your family tree mutkat? You probably do have a king's blood line minus the king. Try not to speak.
{{{{{{EDITED & WARNED — Read the terms of service again}}}}}}}
One good thing,PTC does have the Council, Manager, Chief working together. Not smart, but together.
Ouch, Ooo, stop, the satire is killing me. Seems as though you show a pattern of being curious.
Apparently I was wrong thinking you were just ignorant. Are you tired or just old? Nothing to learn here if you're not capable. I have to explain that the chicken excrement was a reference to your fowl mouth. (PUN) If you don't get it now I won't waist anymore of my time with you. Look at little deeper into your curiosity if you are capable. Oh wait. I am sorry, I gave you more credit than you deserve. I understand you are limited intellectually. It will be OK just keep complaining.
{{{{{{EDITED & WARNED — Read the terms of service again}}}}}}}
Some of us know binary code.
Mudcat, on Tuesday morning you should call the EEOC and file a complaint about this out of control government worker. She is way out of line for someone that works for the "government".
Now I know. 25 feet. That's pretty much all I learned from our newest member. Very curious indeed. What kind of disorder causes this?
Maybe it is our favorite foul-mouthed federal employee - aka Opinionatedwench with a second screen name so she can really cut loose when she gets out of her cubicle.
Bye HC "HAIL THE CHIEF" "JIP US OFF" Jerk, oh sorry it's Clark; have a nice trip to back to whatever snake hole in the sand you slithered out of...can we please get some real leadership on the council!?? A Mayor who might have the character to hold himself accountable for his *MISTAKE* which I'm sure cost us way more than $10K, and a City Manager who won't be the Police Chief's puppet at city hall, seriously, what is going on with this city!!?!??
What are Ms. Ficalore's disabilities?
OpinionatedWench should be warned...and mudcat banned for those comments. Completely uncalled for.
You work for the government?
Now don't deny it..... ;-)
You see I think you have it backward. OpinionatedWench should be banned and mudcat warned.
I would say that the EEOC should investigate who in their department handles these things, find OpinionedWench, and toss her out on her backside. She has gone completely outside her authority as a representative of the government agency she represents. There is no doubt a "law" that covers this misdeed.
She is what gives us the impression that those in positions of power, abuse it.
In case you haven't noticed we're all working for the government.:-(
No, I don't work for the government :)
What argument? Are we arguing?
I knew you would deny it. ;-)
The guy's credentials frankly were very medicore when he was selected and he's done a poor job since. Community policing became Community Ticketing and his asinine roadblocks haven't made anyone "safer." He's also managed to alienate the rank-and-file with his lack of leadership(gee, maybe he can be our next Mayor!)and it will be a good day when he hits the road back to somewhere in Florida to run a PD with a few hundred seniors on golf carts. This job is way above his pay grade.
"Got my back? Got my back?" What is he, 17?
Don't live in the area, but signed up just to respond...
I am a 'paper pusher' at EEOC, for over ten years now. I'm staying anonymous because I'm not speaking on the record as an official of the EEOC - I'm 'front-line' as opposed to 'management.' I wish I could sit at my desk and do nothing but push paper all day, but there's too much actual work to do & not enough people to do it.
Just wanted to let you & other people know, the letter sent by the District Director is NOT a standard form letter, and is rarely used, if ever. As I said above, 10+ years here - this is only the second letter of this kind I've ever heard of being sent. As VP Biden would say, it's a big********EDITED deal. The reason is, that we rarely have enough evidence to confirm that intimidation is in fact going on. Usually we *know* it is, but can't *prove* it to the level the law requires.
Just my humble opinion. That letter deserves more - respect, I guess - than it's being given.
Do a good job on Skippy and maybe you can get a promotion into the major-league harassment of businesses division where they try to close businesses and put honest hard-working employees out of work. Best of all you'll get to sell your house in DeKalb and move to Boston where you can get a studio apartment for $1400/month.
See the story of the terrible, evil coffee company that the federal government has decided is guilty of something.
Even though the situation with Marylou's has only a very slight racial component, that's the part that voters will remember come November.
I know that last part is irrelevant, but I'm filling in for David's Mom while she is on vacation.
Please take out the trash
Very classy and your bond with Joe Biden is duly noted.
Take your form letter and stuff it, OpinionatedWench. You working for the Federal Government is a waste of tax dollars. Come back and see us when you can actually prove something instead of bonding with the Fickle Ficlo. ficlori person. You gotta talk to this other wench before you make up your mind. Sounds like the 2 of you would get along - she uses the F-word a lot as well.
Did you actually say "Usually we *know* it is, but can't *prove* it to the level the law requires." You may want to consider obeying the law and stopping the witch hunt. We really don't need to be paying federal employees like you to persecute innocent people that you merely suspect of a crime. Keep your stupid form letters locked up in your drawer and count down the next 10 years to your pension. What if we "knew" you were actually born in Kenya, but could not prove it? What about that, OpinionatedWench?
Hope you live in DeKalb or Rockdale so you can look to Hank Johnson as a role model.
Cal, this woman is obviously fat, a minority , a single mother and certainly obscene. Why can't we dump her from here? This is Fayette County for crying out loud, not DeKalb.
And while you are at it, dump istilldontknow, since she obviously still does not know much about anything. Cleansing is good. Get rid of the fungus.
And dump Morgan while you dumping Sharika or whatever her name is. He's going to Maine for 4 months and is not taking a computer, not planning to vote in July and pretty much only cares about his own personal comfort and his stupid sailboat. Yes I'm jealous.
She? Interesting....
fat, a minority, a single mother....all logical constructs, indeed.
Perhaps we should all calm down a bit?
Sounds like the paper is participating in intimidation of the city since the city cannot respond publically to the complaint. Always good to see good investigative reporting - digging into the facts and getting information from all sides to put togther the truth.
Could, because it is not interesting now. Article is simply a bunch of old news surrounding the arrival of a form letter from a paper pusher at EEOC. If this thing actually goes to trial and we get to hear the saga of Major Dupree from the March 2011 threat from the chief, thru his job responsibilities being shifted to others, ending with his obviously forced retirement in December 2011. Now that would be interesting reading.
A far as Lisa is concerned, when 2 different departments eliminate your job and don't replace you, there is a pretty clear message in there. Add excessive absenteeism and poor people skills and you have the complete picture.
I don't personally know Ms. Ficalore nor do I know if her claim has any merit but being the top law enforcement officer in PTC, Skippy ought to know better than to circumvent EEOC procedures once a discrimination claim has been filed. That's just plain stupid! And if what is in the article is true, sounds like Skippy runs the PTC Police Dept with threats of retaliation and intimidation tactics. As far as poor people skills Mudcat, I don't think Ms. Ficalore is the only one at the PTC Police Department who can be hit with that accusation. When the curtain is completely pulled back on the administration of PTC Police Department once this EEOC claim has been adjudicated, maybe we will see why that is the case. I tell you, between this and Donnie's $10,000 problem, City Hall is a friggin' mess!

Franchi is considered a leader in the firearm manufacturing industry. Through the years, the company has learned how to make the art of making shotguns almost perfect, if not perfect. Franchi guns can be traced back to 1868. The company's products are defined by craftsmanship and skill making the brand of the most trusted in the market. Franchi started in the historical city of Brescia in Italy.
About six decades ago,
Franchi started making long-recoil 48 AL, which is said to be an ultimate
innovation among long-recoil autoloaders. Aside from this, the company also
introduced innovations in the field of semi autos and gas-operated guns.
Frenchi remains to be the chosen brands of many wing shooters because of its
superior feel and fast handling qualities.
Given the number of years that the company has been in the business, it automatically assumed a great role in the gun making industry. It has set the standards of perfection, specifically in terms of using new materials and imposing innovative production methods. Since it started, the company has been providing well-designed and well-thought products to meet the changing demands of gun users in the industry. Franchi also makes sure that its products are protected by patents, and these are renewed whenever needed. Also, the company does not stop in improving its existing designs without having to sacrifice both performance and style.
Franchi has an unwavering commitment in innovating shotguns and gas-operated loaders, among others. Up until today, Franchi continues to meet the needs of the market by looking into the buyers' changing needs. As much as possible, the company tries to adapt to these changes. The company has never lost track since it started.
The perfection in terms of style and quality is something that newcomers in the industry have never done the way Franchi has done in the past decades. Until now, the company remains an inspiration for many gun manufacturers not just in Italy, but in other parts of the world as well.

Today's Reads, Mostly Education, Some Educational
Working on other projects. I still read, though.
"Democrats are Standing up to the Teachers Unions: Can this be True?" asks little Ed over at Ed is Watching. Maybe he'll get some answers on September 19th [if the event doesn't run past his bedtime]. Yet another thumbs up for the DFER folks.
From RightWingProf, who came across this dandy fop opining out of San Diego: "Sarah Palin often uses lots of notes when she speaks, even going so far as to use tabs and different colors of notecards. This is just so unbelievably tacky and small town I am considering killing myself." Yipes. I know that frustration, though. I see it every time I obliterate, shame, or otherwise invalidate an argument made by someone who has contempt for ignorant, small town rubes [like me].
Brown University reformed its curricula in the late 1960s. I wouldn't have done it, and not the way they did, but no one asked me then. They're reforming things now – and ACTA says that it's not perfect, but that it's a step in the right direction.
Mike S. Adams has founded F.A.S.H.I.S.T. at UNC-Wilmington – Faculty Against Sexual Harassment Initiatives and Sensitivity Training. He asks whether "mandate" is sexist, and then says, "Five years ago the administration chipped in $60,000 to help bring Ludacris to campus. He sang a lot about hos. Shouldn't we be forcing the administration to attend mandatory sexual harassment training not the other way around?"
Haaaaaaaaaaaahahahha. Awesome.
An interesting video about Senator Obama and edu-huckster extraordinaire, Bill Ayers.
The Onion: The Word "Presumptive" Prepares for Another 4-year Hibernation.
BIG NEWS: Detroit Superintendent hung up the phone on someone. My school board members barked at me like junkyard dogs, used school facilities/organizations to campaign against me, and school employees used in-house computers to suggest that I was a drug dealer. I don't hang up on anyone [nor do I take or sell drugs].
Today is Battle of Britain Day in the United Kingdom. British resilience is a trait I love, and one that we in Upstate New York share. Let us hope that steely resolve makes a comeback in the wake of Sharia law.

Local Businesses Question Future Hiring
What's gone up in Sangamon county since the beginning of the year?
The unemployment rate. Local businesses find it hard to say if they will hire in the next few months.
"It doesn't look like there is a lot of job growth," UIS Survey Research Office director Ashley Kirzinger said. "The majority of responders said their unemployment levels are going to stay the same."
The Survey Research Office polled 174 local businesses. 29 percent believed they would see a small increase in hiring, while 1 percent believed they'd see a large increase.
"In the fall, they were very pessimistic about the economy over the next 12 months," Kirzinger said. "In this survey, they are more optimistic."
Kirzinger said the medical field is part of the sector that is booming.
"The medical district is really the future of the city of Springfield," mayor Michael Houston said.
Where the state of Illinois has dropped off in hiring, the medical profession is picking up. Houston has seen it coming for quite some time.
"It is the one area that has really has provided the economic boost to the entire community," Houston said. "It's not just the medical profession in itself. It literally just ripples through our economy."
Unlike the medical industry, education is struggling. Responders to the survey believe the field will not do any hiring in the near future.
"Respondents have seen a decrease in expectations in the education sector, and it's actually at it's lowest point now since fall 2010," Kirzinger said.
"As a result of the state funding of education, that is impacting all districts in this area," Houston said. "It's having more of an impact on School District 186 simply because of the numbers."
While it could be a long road to recovery for education, stabilization of local jobs--job security--is expected to remain the same.
In Sangamon County, Glenn Marshall, ABC Newschannel 20.

Best Deal for Art Collectors Denver 2014 - Community Supported Art Colorado
Community Supported Art Colorado
1007 York St.

Art collecting can be a tricky business, one that requires a shrewd eye, knowing what you like and a knack for telling the future. The CSArt Colorado project replaces that trickiness with a treat. It invites "shareholders" to join for a $400 annual membership; in return, they receive a selection of five diverse works twice a year, drawn from a pool of twenty participating artists, both established and emerging. Shareholders choose from two ten-artist packages offered each year; 2014's first distribution event will be an outdoor party at the Denver Botanic Gardens in May, while BMoCA will host a second distribution and reception in the fall. It's the way to go if you like art — and surprises.

Android and iOS, the number one and number two ranked smartphone operating systems (OS) worldwide, combined for 91.1% of all smartphone shipments during the fourth quarter of 2012 (4Q12). According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, Android smartphone vendors and Apple shipped a total of 207.6 million units worldwide during 4Q12, up 70.2% from the 122.0 million units shipped during 4Q11. For calendar year 2012, Android and iOS combined for 87.6% of the 722.4 million smartphones shipped worldwide, up from 68.1% of the 494.5 million units shipped during calendar year 2011.
"The dominance of Android and Apple reached a new watermark in the fourth quarter," said Ramon Llamas, research manager with IDC's Mobile Phone team. "Android boasted a broad selection of smartphones, and an equally deep list of smartphone vendor partners. Finding an Android smartphone for nearly any budget, taste, size, and price was all but guaranteed during 2012. As a result, Android was rewarded with market-beating growth."
"Likewise, demand for Apple's iPhone 5 kept iOS out in front and in the hands of many smartphone users," added Llamas. "At the same time, lower prices on the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S brought iOS within reach of more users and sustained volume success of older models. Even with the Apple Maps debacle, iPhone owners were not deterred from purchasing new iPhones."
The two horse race between Android and iOS has collectively accounted for more than 50% share of the smartphone OS market over the past two years. At the same time both BlackBerry and Microsoft have been working on competing platforms that have recently launched and are poised for competition. Microsoft launched Windows Phone 8 in 4Q12, and BlackBerry more recently released BB10 in January, marking the first time two new platforms have been introduced to the smartphone space in the past several years.
"With the recent introductions of two new smartphone platforms we expect some ground to be made by the new entrants over the coming years," said Ryan Reith, program manager with IDC's Mobile Device Trackers. "There is no question the road ahead is uphill for both Microsoft and BlackBerry, but history shows us consumers are open to change. Platform diversity is something not only the consumers have asked for, but also the operators."
Smartphone Operating System Highlights
Android continued its overall upward trajectory, reaching triple-digit growth for the year. Samsung was the biggest contributor to Android's success, amassing 42.0% of all Android smartphone shipments during the year. Following Samsung was a long list of vendors with single digit market share, and an even longer list of vendors with market share less than one percent. The intra-Android competition has not stifled companies from keeping Android as the cornerstone of their respective smartphone strategies, but has upped the ante to innovate proprietary experiences.
iOS posted yet another quarter and year of double-digit growth with strong demand for the iPhone. But what also stands out is how iOS's year-over-year growth has slowed compared to the overall market. The smaller volumes during 2Q12 and to a smaller extent 3Q12 underscore the possibility for a mid-year iPhone release in order to maintain market-beating growth. Speculation about the release of possible larger-screen and inexpensive models during the middle of 2013 continues to follow Apple, which would help sustain growth. But until any model is formally announced, speculation remains simply that.
BlackBerry's decision to postpone the release of BB10 to 2013 left the platform vulnerable in 2012 and reliant primarily on older smartphones running on BB7. As a result, BlackBerry's tight grip on enterprise users has loosened and its popularity within emerging markets has been diminished by the competition. Now that BlackBerry has unveiled BB10, the company is faced with migrating current BlackBerry users to upgrade while persuading smartphone users of other platforms, including previous BlackBerry users, to switch.
Windows Phone/Windows Mobile made market-beating progress in 4Q12 and 2012. The addition of Nokia's strong commitment behind the platform was the key driver in Microsoft's success. At the same time, the relationship has benefited Nokia, which amassed 76.0% of all Windows Phone/Windows Mobile smartphone shipments. Beyond Nokia, however, is a short list of other vendors who have been experimenting with Windows Phone while also supporting Android.
Linux has remained essentially flat from the previous year, with longtime supporters NEC and Panasonic moving to Android and newcomers K-Touch and Haier making up the difference. Linux will bear close observation in 2013 as new smartphones from SailFish, Tizen, and Ubuntu are all scheduled to launch this year. Still, these new Linux-powered operating systems will require time and investment to gain momentum in the market, making for a slowly growing trajectory.

A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time.
