Horses require human guidance to keep from brushing against barbed wire, eating poisonous rocks, and galloping triumphantly into the ocean. Take the reins with this Groupon.
The Deal
- C$50 for one-hour guided trail ride for two (C$100 value)
Groups of two gather in 49 Rivers Ranch's indoor stable to pair up with horses based on size and ability. Ranch hands then teach horse-handling basics, which riders can perfect over the next hour on a leisurely trot around the farm's 160 acres.
49 Rivers Ranch
At 49 Rivers Ranch, horses leisurely graze on 160 acres of natural-grass pasture as the farm's two young ranch hands tend to a 30-stall barn and indoor riding arena. Against this idyllic backdrop, owner DJ Dale sparks riders' passion for equestrianism with Western and English lessons and trail rides through miles of pastoral wilderness. The ranch also hosts birthday parties, inviting revellers young and old to ride horses indoors, interact with cuddly residents from the petting zoo, and enjoy the great outdoors.

Kelly Brook Premieres Piranha 3D
Granted, Kelly Brook naked on the cover of Love is only one post below this, it'd be a crime against the art of cinema if I didn't post these pics of her at the premiere of Piranha 3D last night immediately. For those of you who don't know, Piranha 3D is a movie featuring Kelly Brook completely naked – IN 3-GODDAMN-D. So we're basically talking the version of Citizen Kane Orson Welles would've made had he possessed the ingenuity and foresight to realize movies about sleds bore me to tears. To prove my point, 100 years from now, some genius director will release a movie where the British starlet physically fellates you in the theater and people will be calling it the Piranha 3D of their generation. You don't have to agree with me now, but let's all plan to meet up at that time and give me high fives at its premiere for being right. I'll be the guy in the top hat.

Revlon Nail Art Neon Reviews
Fun and Flirty!I love these colors, but I'm finding them increasingly harder to find because everyone else is evidently enjoying them as well. Revlon debuted them in lovely spring duos--pink and white; green and yellow; taupe and shimmery copper; pink and blue, and more. Some have glimmer; others have matte finishes. Only your imagination can limit the looks you can create with these. — 4 years, 3 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

why doesn't this form get submitted once the onchange event is triggered (I thought that it gets triggered once the element is used?)
Try changing the name & id of the 'Submit' button from 'submit'. I imagine that the this.form.submit reference is referring to the input element, not the event method.
that did not help (I probably messed up) but I changed the name of the submit button to upload (When I use the onChange event, It doesn't seem to find the $_POST['upload'] variablehttp://fixmysite.us/asp/providers/test1.phpI have this if statement in upload.processor.php
// check the upload form was actually submitted else print the form
or error('the upload form is neaded', $uploadForm);
But seems to see it if the submit button is clicked herehttp://fixmysite.us/asp/providers/test.phpIs that right? why doesnt the event act as if the submit button is clicked?
Let me explain what I'm trying to do as you might have a better way for me to do this...I'm trying to upload an image the moment the onchange evert is triggered so that the image in thumbnail size appears so that the upload is confirmed to the stupid, also how can this be done without refreshing the page as ill have abnother form on the page I dont want to reset?
Thanks a lot...
I believe that the 'upload' value won't be sent unless you explicitly click the Submit button. I'd put in a hidden input 'form_marker' with a value of the name of the form you're submitting. Then you can check for $POST['formmarker'] == 'form_name' in your PHP code.
Re: the inline submitting, are you avoiding using an existing library for a reason? If you're not adverse to trying an existing script, I'd recommend using http://www.plupload.com/

Fire destroys Colfax area Lutheran church; seaplane crash claims Hayward man; both sides await Walker's budget plans, more state briefs
MENOMONIE -- A Saturday night fire of unknown origin destroyed the 99-year old St. John's Lutheran Church, a Wisconsin Evangelical Synod parish with about 60 members.
Firefighters from Colfax got the call from a passerby that flames were visible at the Dunn County church, about 10 miles north in the town of Grant, the Eau Claire Leader-Telegram reported Monday.
The church, which was unoccupied at the time, was a total loss.
The congregation would have celebrated the church's 100th anniversary next year. The newspaper reported they just finished a project to expand the entryway and install a lift for handicap accessibility.
Pastor John Toppe also serves St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Ridgeland, where members of the Colfax church worshipped on Sunday.
Colfax firefighters received water- and manpower assistance Boyceville, Ridgeland, Elk Mound, Sand Creek, Menomonie and Prairie Farm fire departments.
The fire remains under investigation by the Dunn County Sheriff's Department.
Hayward man -- flight instructor -- killed in FL seaplane crash
SARASOTA, Fla. --A flight instructor from northwest Wisconsin was killed during the weekend when a seaplane he was piloting crashed near an airport in Sarasota Florida.
Witnesses said 70-year-old John Ardoyno of Hayward did not gain enough altitude when his craft took off from the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport. Officials said the single-engine plane dipped in the air, and abruptly crashed in a field on the New College campus - about 100 yards from a campus building.
No one on the ground was hurt. Ardoyno's passenger, William Jackson, 63, of Ann Arbor, Mich. was on fire when he escaped the aircraft. He was flown to a hospital in Tampa where he was in critical condition at last word. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
Ardoyno is a member of the International Seawind Pilots Association, and the group lists him as a flight instructor.
In September, Ardoyno made an emergency landing in a lagoon, when another seaplane lost its oil pressure and engine power. His passenger owned that craft, and no one was hurt.
Businesses will pay more if Walker rejects Badger Care expansion, says advocate
MADISON -- A health care advocate says Wisconsin businesses would pay $120 million more in federal taxes if Gov. Scott Walker says no to taking federal funds to expand Badger-Care. Robert Kraig of Citizen Action says Wisconsin businesses would get a large tax hike if the state turns down federal money to expand Medicaid, which Badger-Care falls under.
The Obama health reform law requires companies with more than 50 employees to pay a tax penalty for every worker who gets care under an insurance exchange. But advocates say the penalty would not apply to employees who end up in Badger-Care, a state Medicaid program for the working poor.
Walker is expected to announce next month whether the state should accept $12 billion-dollars over the next decade to help expand Medicaid.
The decision is expected to be included in the massive state budget that Walker will submit to the Legislature.
State Health Services Secretary Dennis Smith recently told Congress that Medicaid needs major reforms to stay viable. Without them, Smith says states cannot expand their programs - and they'd pay more than what the Obama package would save.
Senator wants to waive school spending cap for safety improvements
MADISON -- A Wisconsin senator wants to let public schools exceed their state-mandated taxing limits to improve their safety, but the Assembly leader says he won't go along with the idea.
Democrats agreed in 2009 to let schools exceed their revenue limits by a total of $86 million-dollars to pay for safety measures but Gov. Scott Walker dropped the exemption in the current state budget. Senate Democrat John Lehman of Racine wants to bring it back in the wake of the Connecticut school massacre.
Senate Education Committee chairman Luther Olson, a Republican from Ripon, said he would consider bringing the revenue exemption back. He said people are interested in making their own schools safer, in the wake of what happened in Newtown.
But Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says schools already have enough money to improve their safety without sacrificing the quality of their education and he says the tax increases caused by the cap exemptions are not necessary.
Dan Rossmiller of the Wisconsin Association of School Boards said he was not aware of any schools scrapping plans to add safety measures after the revenue exemption was cut out. He said the group would discuss the matter when it meets later this month.
New leader expected for Accountability Board
MADISON -- Wisconsin's Government Accountability Board is expected to choose a new chairman Monday.
The six retired judges on the panel will take part in a tele-conference, in which new officers will be picked in a random drawing.
Current chairman David Deininger pulled his own name out of a glass bowl a year ago. Board director Kevin Kennedy will conduct the drawing this time.
Also, the Board is expected to certify five statewide candidates for the spring ballot - Vince Megna, Ed Fallone, and incumbent Pat Roggensack for State Supreme Court - and Don Pridemore and incumbent Tony Evers for state school superintendent.
Coldest days of winter experienced
Wisconsinites woke up Monday to one of the coldest mornings of what's been a very mild winter.
Temperatures were in the single digits and teens at five this morning and Sparta was the southern-most location where the mercury hit zero. Winds were light, but wind-chill factors are still below zero in nearly all of Wisconsin.
Antigo had the coldest wind-chill at 5 a.m. at 14-below. A low pressure system brought light snow and freezing rain to much of Wisconsin during the weekend. Edgerton in Rock County had 1.7 inches of snow-and-sleet Sunday morning. Waukesha County had more than two dozen traffic crashes and spin-outs early Sunday, caused by the freezing rain but it all cleared out by evening, and forecasters say it will be dry for most of the week.
There's a chance of isolated flurries Monday, and maybe some snow showers on Wednesday and Friday. It will stay in the teens Monday except along Lake Michigan, where it will be a few degrees warmer.
A warming trend is expected throughout the week - and much of the state could be back above freezing by Wednesday.
RNC won't force Wisconsin to change electoral systems
The head of the Republican National Committee says his group will not try to make Wisconsin and other battleground states change their electoral systems for choosing the president but Reince Priebus says he personally would like to see Wisconsin do it as well as other states whose legislatures are run by Republicans but whose presidential votes to go Democrats.
Last month, the National Journal said senior Republicans in Washington were pressing to get Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan to drop their winner-take-all systems, and approve something which would give the GOP more electoral votes and a better chance to win the presidency.
No Wisconsin lawmaker has proposed this in the new session, but GOP Gov. Scott Walker says he's intrigued by the idea.
All states but Nebraska and Maine currently give all their electoral votes to the winner of the statewide popular vote. Instead, Republicans are pushing to have the winner in each congressional district would get an electoral vote, and the statewide winner to get two.
Had it been in effect last year, both President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney each would have gotten five electoral votes in Wisconsin - even though the Democrat Obama won the statewide popular vote by 7 percent.
Assembly Democrat Jon Richards of Milwaukee says Republicans are only trying to change the rules because they lost and Assembly Democrat Fred Kessler of Milwaukee says Wisconsin would no longer be a competitive state, except in a couple of House districts. Kessler says White House candidates would make fewer appearances here and run fewer ads.
Pewaukee school to host benefit for Connecticut school shooting
PEWAUKEE -- Students and teachers in Pewaukee are putting on a rock concert this month to benefit the survivors of the Connecticut school shooting victims.
The event, called "Rock to Remember," is set for 2 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 27th at Pewaukee High School.
Teacher Mike Callies, who's organizing the concert, says local performers are donating their talents. Student musicians will also be on the program. Various types of rock and acoustic songs will be performed, geared toward those 14 and older.
Proceeds will go to the Newtown Memorial Fund which is helping families in Connecticut meet immediate needs. It's also creating a scholarship fund for the victims' classmates, and future Newtown students.
Feds may help Wisconsin force criminal suspects give DNA samples
Wisconsin Republicans who want to make criminal suspects give their DNA to the police when they're arrested might get some help from the federal government.
President Obama signed a bill last week that gives $10 million to states that begin collecting DNA upon arrest. Police could add those samples to a database which helps investigators track down criminal suspects.
It's not known when states can apply or how much a state like Wisconsin could get, but Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen say any federal money could help the state off-set the price tag for the measure.
Right now, the state collects DNA from convicted felons and sex offenders and the new proposal would collect an extra $68,000 DNA samples each year at a cost of $7.2 million for the first two years.
Van Hollen has made waves by proposing that the new samples be funded by taking Justice Assistance grants away from things like gang-prevention efforts, school programs, and public defenders.
The American Civil Liberties Union, which opposes collecting DNA samples from anyone who's not convicted, says the new federal grants would only cover a little of the state's expenses.
Brown County will honor Donald Driver
GREEN BAY -- The Brown County Board plans to honor Green Bay Packers' receiver Donald Driver this week for his contributions to the community.
Driver, 37, is the team's all-time leading receiver but he's not expected to return to the Packers after 14 seasons and county supervisor Bernie Erickson says he wants to honor Driver before he leaves town.
The board plans to recognize him for creating a foundation that deals with homelessness and education.
Driver has also hosted an annual charity softball game with his Packer teammates. Erickson says Driver has given both his talents and his money to the community and now is a great chance to honor him.
County officials say the board meeting is on Driver's schedule, but it's subject to change. Green Bay has been Driver's only NFL team since he was drafted in 1999.
He says still he wants to play until he's 40 but he may also retire as a pure Packer. He hasn't made that decision yet.
Former UW-M student among first subject to longer kiddie porn sentencing law
MADISON -- A former U-W Madison doctoral student will spend at least three years in prison under a new state law passed in the last session that toughened penalties for possessing child pornography.
A mandatory three-year prison term for all child porn cases has been on the books since April and Jay Babcock, 31, of Madison will become the first Dane County resident to be sentenced under the new law Monday. Three men in other counties have also received the mandatory prison time.
Assembly Republican Mark Honadel of South Milwaukee proposed the measure, and it got support from both parties. He said judges were letting too many child porn convicts stay out of prison. Babcock was charged last June with 10 counts of felony child porn possession. He pleaded guilty to four counts, and the other six were dropped in a plea deal.
Former Antigo coach-principal heading to drug trial
ANTIGO -- A trial is scheduled to begin Tuesday for a former Antigo football coach and elementary principal charged with dealing marijuana.
John Lund, 48, is charged with seven felony counts of manufacturing and selling pot, and maintaining a drug trafficking place. A jury is expected to be picked in Langlade County Circuit Court in Antigo, and Lund's trial is scheduled to run for four days before Judge Fred Kawalski.
Lund is accused of running the school portion of a drug ring which sold marijuana to teachers in Antigo and Merrill. That part of it was exposed in late 2011, and Lund resigned soon after he was charged last January.
Since then, authorities have said the school cases were just part of a drug ring that stretched as far south as Wausau.
John Hunter of Antigo was charged five months ago with 50 felony counts of selling both cocaine and marijuana. He has pleaded innocent, and the status of his case will be reviewed on Feb. 4th.
As of September, 15 people have been charged - mostly teachers accused of using marijuana sold to them by former assistant football coach Scot Peterson. He was sentenced to six months in jail for his role.

Exclusivity is about the worst thing developer can do with an app. Exclusive for 2520? So just about no one right?

So many of the positions that the Brown government has taken, particularly in education, are a pale shadow of Tory thinking - it is hard to decide who is copying whom. The ability to fire ammunition back at HM opposition is severely limited by the fact that a direct hit might also be a self-inflicted wound. Needless to say, last year's Tory Opportunity Agenda, given another push after Easter by the shadow children's secretary, Michael Gove, is based on the charge of Labour failure and accompanied by a collective case of amnesia about 1997 when, after 18 years of Conservative government, only 45% of pupils got five good GCSEs, primary schools' reading and maths scores were at least 10% lower than they are now, and capital investment in most schools was non-existent.
The opening chapter of the Opportunity Agenda education paper flags up a world in which people will be trusted and liberated from Gordon Brown's statist, backward-looking mentality. The "top down" centralising control of schools will be replaced by legions of "new" academies, the third version to date of the old city technology colleges model, which will be funded by, and therefore effectively run by, guess who - central government. Over 200,000 new places will be created in these schools (at a time of falling rolls), and all will, of course, be "good". Why? Because in the London borough of Hackney, which has record numbers of "old" academies, contextual value-added (CVA) has shot up. No matter that none of the Hackney academies has yet produced a GCSE cohort and current CVA success is exclusively down to the achievements of its maintained schools. That is just an irritating fact that is simpler to ignore.
And so it goes on, verging on the comical. Any local authority school that fails will be whipped out of council control; this revolution of opting out will apparently bring more democracy, although there is no mention of what will happen to the academies that fail. Maybe they will be brought back into local authority control and someone will invent the "new" community school to save us from the horrors of inadequate sponsors.
Schools will be "free" but forced to teach in the traditional way, with compulsory setting by ability and children required to wear blazers, shirts and ties. Parents will be coerced into legally enforceable home-school contracts to manage their children's behaviour which, along with the pledge to allow heads to kick out any child they want, will give lawyers a field day, especially if parents try to enforce their side of the contracts.
Only the emphasis on smaller schools and the "pupil premium", which confers a financial bonus on disadvantaged pupils, have real merit, although there is an inherent contradiction in wanting small schools to flourish and urging popular ones to expand, and too little detail about how disadvantage should be defined and how big the bonus should be to override some schools' natural inclination to choose the pupils most likely to succeed.
It is understandable that floating voters no longer want to drill down into the detail of policy initiatives as all the main parties appear to be saying exactly the same thing, especially when it comes to education. It is also clear that, while the Tories may be ahead, the polls also suggest a lack of real enthusiasm for any of the parties. Maybe someone will realise soon that it is because we want something different.

I'm not sure that the President really runs much anymore. Besides, the administration and Congress are basically bought and paid for. It's a structural deficiency that national level politicians must continuously raise money for obscenely expensive campaigns due to a misguided application of the Constitution's First Amendment guarding free speech.
Yes, Chris, there is a difference between the two major parties, but it is fast becoming a difference without a distinction.

Unfortunately, while the D's usually get the science right, they don't seem to understand real world economics.
As bad as the former guy was with the deficit, this current guy is about 4 or 5 times worse.
If you get out of your shack and do some grocery shopping you'll notice that the price of food is much higher than it was last year.
What we need is someone who gets BOTH. Not sure I see anyone like that on either team.

RADICAL improvements must be made to the areas around York's historic Bars, a masterplan for city streets has claimed.
City of York Council's "streetscape strategy", designed to guide the future of York's streets and public spaces, also says major work is needed to make the "confusing" and poorly-designed route from York Station to the city-centre more welcoming.
The review, due to be discussed by councillors tonight, says navigating York can be "complex and difficult to understand", the city-centre is too cluttered and lacks enough public art, cycle-parking and seating, and more should be spent on cycling schemes but pedestrians using footstreets may need extra protection from bikes.
It says funding will be limited, but proposes immediate steps including considering banning "for sale" and "for let" signs in conservation areas and looking at whether street performers should be able to use amplified sound. The report says York does not have a "consistent street environment" and many parts of the city-centre lack "harmony".
The document was recommended by several parties - including urban design expert Professor Alan Simpson, who produced 2010's "New City Beautiful" vision for York – with organisations including English Heritage and York Civic Trust taking part in a consultation.
The strategy said roads and footpaths either side of the Bars should be improved to "enhance the special qualities of these remarkable structures", saying: "These are the main historic gateways into the city and their settings should be dramatically improved."
New lighting schemes between the station and the city-centre have been suggested as one way of improving the route, while the document advised planting more trees on "gateway" roads and considering riverside public art installations in locations such as New Walk, Terry Avenue and next to the Museum Gardens. It said Exhibition Square could house temporary or permanent art displays or performances.
Other suggestions include extending a city-centre "decluttering" campaign to other areas and explaining York better. The strategy said: "Museums and other attractions do an excellent job, but streets, public spaces and their relationship with York's urban landscape are sometimes difficult to understand."
It also said the council should work with estate agents to ban signs in conservation areas, as they often stayed in place for long periods and their commercial effectiveness was "questionable".
In his consultation response, York Civic Trust director Peter Brown supported reviewing use of amplifiers by street artists, saying some "take it to extreme levels", and said the Trust was "greatly encouraged" by the document.
Tracy Dearing of the RNIB charity voiced concerns a "shared spaces" approach – such as removing signs, road markings and kerbs - could be taken, increasing risks for blind or partially-sighted people. Conservationist Alison Sinclair said Micklegate should be promoted as an alternative route from the station to the city-centre "to assist its regeneration".

Jeweler gets probation over poor record-keeping on sale
A Latrobe jeweler will serve one year on probation for failing to complete required paperwork at his shop.
Leonard Shepler, 45, of Ligonier Township, pleaded guilty Wednesday to two misdemeanor offenses after police learned that he had purchased jewelry, valued at $5,000, that had been stolen from a Latrobe home.
Police said Shepler, the owner of Len's Jewelry and Repair, failed to fill out required paperwork detailing the sale. Those documents must be submitted to the state police.
"The situation is the unfortunate result of poor record-keeping on the part of Mr. Shepler," said defense attorney Chris Nakles. "He is doing all he can to make sure that the victims here are compensated in full."
As part of the plea deal approved by Westmoreland County Judge Rita Hathaway, Shepler paid $2,000 to the owner of the stolen jewelry as restitution. He will be required to repay another $3,000 that is owed to an insurance company.
Suspects from the jewelry heist told police they did not show Shepler identification or sign any documents related to the sale, according to court records.
Investigators found that Shepler failed to file information about the precious metal purchases he made between March 21 and May 12.
In addition, police charged Shepler with failing to keep records at his Latrobe shop from Oct. 25, 2011, to May 17, 2012.
Precious metal dealers are required to hold valid licenses for that work. The licenses are sold for $50 by the county sheriff's office.
Shepler told police his precious metals license expired in 2001. According to the sheriff's website, Shepler now has a valid license.
In return for his guilty plea, prosecutors dismissed 20 additional charges of failing to keep records and a related offense of receiving stolen property.

The Calgary Stampeder alum and Olympic bobsledder Jesse Lumsden joined forces with fellow bobsledder Justin Kripps and took on the Mantracker, outsmarting Outdoor Life Network show host Terry Grant.
Although he had a partner, Lumsden is the one being credited with the triumph after he and Kripps got separated in the forests just outside of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario – the athlete was armed with nothing but a map (Kripps had the compass and was caught by Grant shortly before reaching the finishing line).
"I can't believe it, it's almost too good to be true," Lumsden said after reaching the finish line, as reported by The Canadian Press. "I beat the trackers."
"Mantracker," now in its fifth season, follows wilderness expert Grant and his sidekick Phil Lemieux as they "track" a team of two (known as "the prey") through dense brush and forests. The prey only have 36 hours and the help of a map and compass to trek 35-50 kilometres without getting caught.
It wasn't the first time the Mantracker battled professional athletes – Olympic freestyle skiers Steve Omischl and Jeff Bean along with Phoenix Coyotes star Shane Doan and his brother Brook each took on Grant and Lemieux – and both of those sportsmen teams prevailed. However this time around, Grant was satisfied that he had at least successfully caught Kripps.
The episode was filmed back in September 2010 when Lumsden later signed with the Calgary Stamps. He retired from the CFL this past May to focus on his bobsledding career in preparation for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.

Activities at the July 1 Family Forum meeting chaired by Mike Schwartz of the House Family Caucus and Amy Ridenour of The National Center for Public Policy Research.
Molestation Case Points to Need for Parental Consent Reform
Tamara Meijian of the office of Rep. Ernest Istook (R-OK) discussed Rep. Istook's intention to propose a parental consent amendment for Title X to the FY98 Labor, HHS and Education Appropriations Bill, which will be marked up the week of July 15. An immediate incentive for proposing this amendment is an Illinois case receiving headlines in which a 37-year-old gym teacher began molesting an 8th grade girl, and drove her to a McHenry County health clinic where she received a shot of the controversial contraceptive drug Depo-Provera without a parent's consent. The clinic had had a rule requiring parental consent for minors but had been forced to give up this requirement in order to be eligible for federal funding. Istook's amendment would require minors receiving federally-funded birth control services to receive the permission of a parent or guardian. Mike Schwartz commented that the only possible reason to oppose this amendment is if one believes that parents are abusive and pose a greater threat to children than child molesters. Schwartz also discussed the epidemic of sexually-transmitted diseases among teens, and a need for federal policymakers to that the STD threat into account when setting policy. Contact Tamara Meijian at 202/225-2132 and Mike Schwartz at 202/225-2701.
Bill to be Introduced to Restore Rule Saying that Federal Agencies Must Keep Families in Mind
Mike Schwartz of the House Family Caucus announced that on July 9, following a 9:30 am press conference at the Capitol, legislation will be introduced to reinstate President Reagan's Executive Order (recently abolished by President Clinton) requiring federal agencies to consider, when developing regulations, the impact the regulation will have on families. Contact Jacqueline Halbig at 202/624-3019 or Mike Schwartz at 202/225-2701.
New Bill Lets Parents Know What's Happening at School
Mike Schwartz of the House Family Caucus reviewed Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS)'s "Parental Freedom of Information Act." The act, to be introduced in July, is designed to guarantee that parents have access to the same information about their children's school experiences as do school personnel. The bill, if approved, would give parents the statutory right to know the content of school materials, tests, the particulars of medical exams and so forth. Under this law parents would not, however, be granted access to materials school officials themselves do not see, such as the composition of SAT tests. Contact Chris Israel in Rep. Tiahrt's office at 202/225-6216 or Mike Schwartz at 202/225-2701.
It's Not "Needle-Exchange" Any More, Say Activists, but "Syringe-Exchange"
Shepherd Smith of Americans for a Sound AIDS/HIV Policy reviewed U.S. needle-exchange policies. He noted first that pro-exchange activists have developed a new, more politically-correct name for the program: "syringe-exchange," because the program hadn't been popular with the public under its original name. Smith then reviewed the results of a scientific study of the effectiveness of these programs, which he distributed. The study concluded "Very high HIV and HCV prevalence rates suggest that needle sharing is normative despite an active [needle-exchange program] which currently exchanges >2 million needles per year." Smith noted an irony: "The very people who are against teen smoking are for needle exchanges. They don't say use smoke-filtered cigarettes. They say smoking is wrong." Currently the HHS Secretary has the authority to lift the federal ban on federal funding of needle-exchange programs, but the Appropriations Committee may restore this power to the Congress. Contact Shepherd Smith at 703/471-7350.
The Supreme Court Makes King George Pale by Comparison, Says Analyst
Mike Schwartz of the House Family Caucus discussed the Supreme Court's decision striking down the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Schwartz said that the Supreme Court made a mistake, which, as it itself as acknowledged, it commonly does. In this situation, he said, they did so in 1990 when they said that the free exercise clause essentially doesn't mean a thing. So Congress in 1993 passed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as a check on the Supreme Court. The Court has now thrown out Congress' action. Schwartz added: "When the Supremes claim that the Constitution means whatever they want it to mean and no one else can say anything to the contrary, they are imposing an aristocracy on this country that makes whatever King George did to make us mad pale by comparison." Schwartz is promoting a strategy to get Congress to approve several resolutions expressing its views on the free exercise clause and then a bill circumventing the Supreme Court's appellate authority. This latter action would be based on authority explicitly granted to the Congress in the Constitution, Schwartz said, although it has not been used by the Congress for the last 130 years. Following this, Schwartz said, Congress should pass RFRA again, and this time the Court may not find RFRA unconstitutional. Schwartz opined that "if we fight for RFRA through a constitutional amendment, we surrender to the Court." Contact Mike Schwartz at 202/225-2701. *

Pastin: Final edition on tap for editor
Retiring is hard work.
There are the medical and social security benefit bureaucrats, online snafus and holding on the phone for extended periods of time — finally getting an automated voice telling you how to get a real person by hanging on longer.
I am tired of hanging on and hanging up, and waiting and waiting at the Social Security office. I do not need the Social Security security guard telling me to be quiet and to take a ringing phone outside — as he listens to a FANS sports show at full volume.
Tick, tick, tick.
It's time to say goodbye to the work-a-day world and find new problems. My last day is Friday.
Forty-one years in the business — 24 in sports and 17 in news.
Daily papers. Weekly papers. Big ones. Small ones,
Fifteen years as editor of The Signal Item - a stint in the 90s and another over the past 11.
The Bridgeville Area News for about 10 years. And the South Hills Record for the past year or so.
Certain moments and people are frozen in time:
• The Flood. It is difficult to freeze 37 years into a lasting snapshot, but now-retired police chief Jeff Harbin reached his zenith on the night of Sept. 17, 2004, when Hurricane Ivan blew into town and caused unprecedented flooding in low-lying Carnegie and Bridgeville and surrounding municipalities.
More than 20 people were stranded on the Mansfield Boulevard bridge, fearing for their lives. Harbin kept them calm as he mapped out a strategy to secure several rescue boats to get the trapped people out of harm's way.
• The Inferno. On Oct. 15, 2005 around 2 a.m., fire units were dispatched to the Red Onion Grille on West Main Street. A kitchen fire turned into an inferno. By the time firefighters got it under control, half a city block and a lot of Carnegie's history were gone.
Marcella McGrogan's Historical Society of Carnegie in the Husler Building was severely damaged and never fully recovered.
• The fortress on the hill has been spared from disasters.
But if it hadn't been for Maggie Forbes, the Andrew Carnegie Free Library — Carnegie Carnegie — might today be something other than a wonderfully restored library and music hall. She led the charge of the Chartiers Valley Partnership to raise more than $7.5 million.
She retired but took a mulligan and returned to the same job this past year.
Quick hits
• Honus Wagner starred for the Pirates in the early 1900s but his legacy survives locally. The vintage T-206 Wagner card, circa 1909, fetched $2.1 million in 2013.
A mural on the American Legion building on Jane Street pays homage to Carnegie's favorite son.
• John Oyler, college professor, newspaper columnist and Bridgeville's preeminent historian. A gentleman and a damn fine storyteller.
• The late Mary Woods, who wrote the Cubbage Hill column in this newspaper for more than 50 years. Struggling with the use of modern technology but still devoted, she once began a column longhand on notebook paper and finished it on the back of an electric bill.
• Bob Fryer. The Bridgeville Connection. Cares about progress. Has a book of ideas that he is willing to share with any reporter who'll listen.
• The late, great Edith Hughes. My first boss in this company. Later a dear friend and confidante. Serious journalist. Fought for her people. Loved Oakmont Bakery.
• Leading the shift from blue-collar mill town to a more refined community were Phil and Jean Salvato and their 3rd Street Gallery. Now a source of tremendous pride and a fixture in town, people wondered how long it would last in this environment.
B.C. —Before Carnegie.
Name the only sports editor in America to suffer the loss of two NFL franchises? Why, me — the Baltimore Colts and St. Louis Cardinals.
Grown men wept as the Colts were whisked to Indianapolis in Mayflower vans under the cover of darkness.
St. Louisans were indifferent toward their Big Red football team, feeling they would be rewarded with a new franchise after the team fled to Arizona. They were. They got the Rams.
There was San Berdoo — The San Bernardino Sun-Telegram, and covering the Los Angeles Dodgers and pro golf and being close to my journalistic idol, LA Times columnist Jim Murray.
Being insulted by manager Tommy Lasorda for no reason.
Watching baseball in wondrous Chavez Ravine.
Playing tennis at spring training with Toni Tennille of Captain and Tennille fame and singing with her to "Love Will Keep Us Together."
Witnessing the St. Louis Cardinals painfully blow World Series chances against the Kansas City Royals in 1985 and the Minnesota Twins in 1987.
Don Denkinger dart boards are still selling in St. Loo. He's the ump whose blown call cost them the '85 Series.
The best of times and the worst of times.
Onward and upward.

It's hard for us to look at a mannequin's uncovered, plastic head and keep our pants on. They're just that hot. The synthetic and/or sculpted hair, the fake, vacant eyes, and the total lack of resemblance to a real live woman just gets the blood flowing in our nether regions. Aww, yeah.
OK, so obviously that's not true. They are mannequins. They are inanimate. We do not have a lady boner for them. But apparently the Iranian government is very concerned about the power of the mannequin to seduce and corrupt.(Because they totally don't have bigger issues right now.) In order to curtail the use of unduly sexual mannequins, the IRNA, Iran's press organ, has been told that "using unusual mannequins exposing the body curves and with the heads without hijabs (Muslim veils) are prohibited to be used in the shops." And we're kind of betting that shopkeepers will comply so as to avoid the violent law enforcement that's fairly commonplace in Iran these days.
All we're saying is, next time you get turned on by a mannequin, be glad you don't live in Iran. [The Cut]

Now all of you that just purchased the Verizon Galaxy Nexus, are as happy as  little Android geeks could be to have the latest and greatest that Android has to offer. Many of you also probably are going to purchase a car dock so you can utilize the phones functions as you drive. This might get you a little upset.
Well my Verizon friends, they messed up. An awesome feature of the Galaxy Nexus, is that it has the three-pin contact of the side of the frame so that you can connect and disconnect the phone from the car dock very easily.  Seems this cheap little car dock they are selling is missing that three-pin contact feature, yet the GSM version has it along with micro-USB and mic ports built into the dock. Can you say OOPS! The picture above shows the two different car docks. The one on the right is the Verizon version while the one on the left is the UK version for the Galaxy Nexus. So why did they do this? Only answer I can come up with is, because it is Verizon.

Danny Davis has told people that he will not be coming to iMPACT! as part of Gut Check any more.
With Bruce Prichard gone, and the recent cutbacks, the feeling is that the TNA Gutcheck may be done.
I think they should return it to how it started off, a behind the scenes thing. If someone gets signed as a result of it all well and good, but when they made it a monthly TV thing and were seen to be hiring all this new talent and then releasing them it totally killed it.
good they kept messing with gut check and how it was ran too much anyways. if you want to sign people just sign them
from what ppl have said on gutcheck. the idea was to pull back the curtain and show fans how they find talent and how they sign them. it could with being a part of a 2nd show really.
the starting idea was good. but they could always improve it little bits about it. should have had the promo seg before and after the match imo instead of on the following show.
Gut check was becoming ridiculous so I wont be too upset if its gone.
I thought Gutcheck was ridiculous especially how they were 'signing' all these wrestlers knowing that few will be used since they have a full roster where some are having trouble getting TV time.
I dont think it was that bad of an idea but they just gave the contract to pretty much everyone then they get released and we never really got to see them
Shame. Gutcheck was one of the things that got me excited for iMPACT.
Gutcheck itself was a cool & novel idea. The problem is the missteps:
1) They hired virtually everyone.
2) They never gave the wrestlers they didn't bring on constructive criticism (i.e. what they needed to perform). The in-ring segments were too rushed. They should have allotted a few more minutes and taught the wrestlers (and fans) a few things. At the very least, post a video critique on Youtube or something and promote it on the show.
3) They needed to give the judges the authority to actually hire the people. Instead it was pre-determined when they came to the ring. It was phony and we all knew it.
4) Can we all say "Alex Silva". True, Ric Flair should have never changed his mind. Don't get me started on that. But it was worse when TNA held it against him. Remember – he was a judge (see #3). Give him the ability to say "yes".
5) They incorporated it into a story line. HORRIBLE IDEA! Seriously, the Wes Brisco thing compromised any remaining integrity it had at that point.
I'm not surprised, I liked gut check but after the release of almost every gut check winner I suspected it would be gone soon. Hopefully it returns but after this Tito Ortiz shit storm calms downs.
The concept of Gutcheck was a great
Idea but all the issues they had like
Losing judge after judge (flair & Prichard)
Rejecting Taz since he's with Aces & Eights
and the dropping 90% of the gutcheckers
Last tile I looked it was Jay Bradley & Lady
T'aid as the only knes left it was going
Down hill fast better to drop it now
Then to destroy it even more than what
They did to it
TNA never seems to understand its fan base. By doing this fans are hating TNA. GutCheck created zero stars.

Claggett: A woman of the people seeking re-election
Alice Claggett considers herself a woman of the people. Maybe that's because she has always been around so many of them.
She grew up with 13 siblings, raised seven children of her own and has 11 grandchildren.
Her past jobs at a cafe, several hospitals, a nursing home and a senior center kept her surrounded by customers, patients and clients.
Outside of work and family, she has met even more people through her involvement in numerous volunteer organizations.
Over the years, her network of friends and acquaintances grew so large that it ushered her into the mayor's office in 1998. Claggett, 77, is now counting on that network to win a fourth consecutive term.
"I do feel that I know a lot of people in town, they know who I am and they know what I stand for," Claggett said. "And that's never going to change, no matter what."
What Claggett stands for, she says, is the golden rule. As a child growing up in the small, central-Minnesota community of Pierz, she was taught by her mother to respect everyone.
"Her thing was you treat people the way you want to be treated," Claggett said, "and there's no other way."
Claggett remembers her mother rising at 5 a.m. most mornings to cook, clean and garden for the large family. Claggett's father took on many jobs, including farming, blacksmithing and raising dogs.
The children also were expected to work hard. Claggett got her first real job during her high school years, when she was hired to manage a café while the owners vacationed in Europe.
After high school, Claggett underwent nurse's training at a hospital in Minneapolis. She worked as a nurse in Montevideo, Minn., for 14 years before relocating to Mitchell during the 1960s.
During her first years in town, Claggett worked at St. Joseph's Hospital and enrolled at Dakota Wesleyan University. She earned a degree in psychology and social work during the 1970s.
Claggett then left nursing and spent the rest of her professional career assisting the elderly at Firesteel Healthcare Center and the James Valley Community Center. She developed a passion for the work and came to value the wisdom of the city's older population.
"There is so much expertise out there," she said, "and we kind of shove it back because they're elderly."
Throughout her life, Claggett, a divorcee, has tried to balance family and work with her involvement in groups such as the YWCA, Eastern Star, Kiwanis, Lions, AARP, the Methodist Church, the Shrine Circus and her children's Scout troops.
"I was chairperson of almost any fund-raiser there ever was," she said.
After Claggett retired, she joined the 1998 mayor's race somewhat by accident. Her son, Paul, had planned to run but withdrew from the race just before the nominating deadline.
"I went and thanked everybody for supporting him," Claggett said, "and one of the gals said, Why don't you run?' "
Claggett entered the race and won an upset over two-term incumbent Mayor Don Dailey. She followed up with a win over former City Councilman Ed Anderson in 2000, and another win over former Davison County Sheriff Lyle Swenson and local businessman Bob Wieger in 2003. On April 11, she will face Lou Sebert and Rube Adam.
During Claggett's time as mayor, she has seen explosive economic growth and presided over multi-million-dollar city projects, including the construction of a Missouri River water pipeline and a new aquatic center. She has had disappointments, too, including the failure of a convention center proposal and the departure of a balloon museum from a city-owned building.
Through it all, she said, she tried to keep her focus on people. She pledges to do the same if she wins another term.
"I think I would be described as open to anybody, and I think I would listen to everybody," she said. "And there's no answers to everything, but I think the listening part is the most important thing."
If Claggett wins another three-year term, she will break a tie for the second-longest mayoral career in the city's history. Her eight years of service so far match the eight-year tenures of A.E. Hitchcock (1908-1916) and Leonard B. "Bud" Williams (1986-1994). The longest serving mayor was George Fredericks, who held the office for 12 years from 1928 to 1940.
Claggett seems ready to accept whatever the voters decide.
"If the people in the city of Mitchell want somebody else, that's OK with me," she said. "But I feel I am doing a pretty good job. And I certainly have learned an awful lot from people that have come in to talk to me."

Commentary: EM.TV: A How-Not-To Guide for German Investors
Otto Welschak figured he could supplement his modest pension with an investment in EM.TV & Merchandising. And why not? All the experts said the Munich children's programming company had a fabulous future. The experts were wrong. Welschak, 63, who used to work for the German Automobile Club, figures he lost about $5,700 when EM.TV shares plunged more than 95% in the past year, to less than $5, on shoddy bookkeeping and big shortfalls in predicted sales and profits.
Now, Welschak thumbs through the German stock-picking magazines that urged him to buy and wonders how it happened. "The analysts and [EM.TV CEO Thomas] Haffa really pulled one over on us," says Welschak, who lives in Geretsried, about 40 kilometers south of Munich.
It's hard not to concede Welschak's point. As late as November, long after warning signs began to emerge, bank analysts continued to recommend EM.TV stock. They weren't the only ones to get it wrong. Haffa, 48, had the imprimatur of Germany's business Establishment. When his stock was riding high early last year, Haffa was the keynote speaker at business events and was photographed, tuxedo-clad, with luminaries like Mark Wossner, former CEO of Bertelsmann.
MYOPIA. Why was everyone--including BusinessWeek--so myopic? It's a good time to ask. Haffa's tarnished empire is effectively passing into the hands of his former employer, Leo Kirch. The Munich media king is acquiring 25% of EM.TV's voting rights (17% of equity) and a hefty dose of control. Haffa is still CEO, but it's hard to see how he'll survive the shareholders meeting in July.
The EM.TV story is coming to an end, and, with hindsight, it's possible to draw lessons from the disaster. They won't help Welschak or others who were burned. But maybe they'll avert debacles in the future and teach investors how to act more wisely.
Lesson one: Make sure the company visionary has adult supervision. Everyone agrees that Haffa is a heck of a salesman. His strategy wasn't bad either: Assemble a cast of venerable cartoon characters, then milk the merchandising and broadcast possibilities. But Haffa needed someone to keep him from overextending EM.TV's financial and management resources. Chief Financial Officer Florian Haffa, the CEO's younger brother, wasn't that person. Since the ill-prepared younger Haffa resigned in December, successor Rolf Rickmeyer has been struggling to make sense of the company books. Rickmeyer is a finance veteran, the ex-CFO of a subsidiary of utility RWE. If he had been there from the start--and if Haffa had listened to him--things might have turned out differently.
Lesson two: Scrutinize the deals. EM.TV was paying eye-popping prices for its new properties. True, amid the Internet frenzy, almost any price seemed reasonable. It's also true that Haffa covered part of the tab with EM.TV's own overpriced stock, which reduced cash outlays. Still, he raised eyebrows when he paid $680 million for Jim Henson Co. Some thought Henson's 30-year-old Muppets were past their prime and valued the Henson company at half that. But nobody cared.
DISCREPANCIES. Lesson three: Scrutinize the partners. Haffa's watershed deal was the acquisition in 1998 of 10,000 hours of children's programming by forming a joint venture with Kirch Gruppe. Now, it looks more like an arrangement designed primarily to raise badly needed cash for Kirch. After all, the main venue for the programming is German station SAT.1, which Kirch controls. Investors were dreaming if they thought Haffa had gotten the better of a sly dog like Kirch.
Lesson four: Watch for discrepancies in the company's announcements. Last March, EM.TV bought a 50% stake in the company that owns the rights to broadcast Formula One races. The company press release said EM.TV was "in discussions" about acquiring an additional 25%. Later, Haffa owned up to analysts that he had committed the company to paying nearly $1 billion for the additional stake--a risky obligation. Now, all of EM.TV is worth $1 billion.
Lesson five: Don't be afraid to break up the party. Nobody wanted to be a naysayer when EM.TV shares were soaring and early investors were racking up paper millions. Next time, perhaps, investors will know better.

I'm here to talk beauty again. It's time to go over some of the beauty trends for this spring! That's right, this SPRING. I know it's hard to believe but it's kind of around the corner. Well not really, we don't even have any snow yet but, a girl can pretend, can't she? Here are some of the top beauty trends for this spring and summer:
1. Stop the Curls – It is all straight this spring! Straight, straight and need I remind you? Straight! I'm not totally sure how I feel about this trend. First, I feel like this is a rule more than it is a trend. Once Spring gets here am I going to feel guilty for going all natural with my locks in the morning? I sure hope not. On the other hand, who doesn't absolutely love the look of straight, straight locks? Especially with a perfect middle part! LOVE. It's so sleek and glamorous and always fashionable.
2. Brown the Skin – Duh! I mean, is there ever a Spring/Summer season that the bronzed look isn't in? No, not so much. It's perfect and it's gorgeous. A bronzed look just tells you it's summertime, and there absolutely, positively nothing better than summertime. So find the right one for you and take it with you everywhere you go!
3. Liner: Black and Heavy – My ultimate favorite beauty accessory. It's a must have for every woman. Heavy, black liner is truly transformative, isn't it? There are mornings that I think no amount of makeup will do the trick, but the liner always pulls through! It's like, the all powerful beauty essential. What woman doesn't have a black liner? None. So don't go light this spring!
4. Nail Art – This isn't going anywhere, no worries. All that fun you've been having with your nails and your friend's nails, it will not end. According to the catwalks, nail art is definitely here to stay. No new fad, but don't be afraid to keep it going.
