TAMPA — Commuters heading out of Tampa toward Clearwater on northbound Memorial Highway Wednesday afternoon survived a major traffic shift.
Wednesday was the first time many folks used a new exit ramp on the right side of the highway to get onto the Courtney Campbell Parkway. The exit used to be on the left side.
But during rush hour there were no major hiccups or delays, said Sgt. Larry Kraus, a spokesman for the Florida Highway Patrol. Tampa police also didn't see an increase in accidents.
John McShaffrey, a spokesman for the Florida Department of Transportation, said, "I would tell people, again, to be cautious for the next few days. You should be okay if you follow the signs."
The shift happened at 5:30 a.m. Wednesday and caused no major traffic snags during the morning rush, McShaffrey said.
But McShaffrey said he expected most of the confusion to happen in the afternoons, when more traffic is heading north.

The War on Poverty: 50 Years Later – A House Budget Committee Majority Staff Report, March 3, 2014.
"Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty. Since then, Washington has created dozens of programs and spent trillions of dollars. But few people have stopped to ask, "Are they working?" In "The War on Poverty: 50 Years Later," the House Budget Committee majority staff starts to answer that question. There are at least 92 federal programs designed to help lower-income Americans. For instance, there are dozens of education and job-training programs, 17 different food-aid programs, and over 20 housing programs. The federal government spent $799 billion on these programs in fiscal year 2012. But rather than provide a roadmap out of poverty, Washington has created a complex web of programs that are often difficult to navigate. Some programs provide critical aid to families in need. Others discourage families from getting ahead. And for many of these programs, we just don't know. There's little evidence either way."

Janice R. Hylen
Janice R. Hylen was a dietary consultant employed by a BOP contractor. As part of her job, she visited USP Atlanta on a regular basis to assist with the planning of special diets. On November 21, 1979, Ms. Hylen was on duty at the institution, interviewing inmates with dietary problems and completing paperwork to develop special diets for them.
She was working in a room near the hospital library when inmate Robert Hogan passed by and saw that she was alone. He entered the room, then viciously attacked and brutally murdered Ms. Hylen. Inmate Hogan later admitted to having previously intended to kill a female staff member, but no opportunity had presented itself. At the time of Ms. Hylen's death, Hogan was serving a 15-year sentence for threat through the mail and sodomy.
After a brief stay at FCI Butner, inmate Hogan was transferred to USP Marion, where he later died (in June 1980), killed by another inmate. Hogan's murderer suggested that Hogan was killed because he bragged about killing two women; however, USP Marion staff believed the killing to be gang-related.
Janice, you will never be forgotten.

New Delhi, July 31 (ANI): A Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) professor has said there is a lot of anger against the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) for initially refusing to admit a critically injured 22-year-old student after a male classmate had attacked her in a classroom at the university on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old male classmate committed suicide after attacking the 22-year-old girl by consuming poison, while the victim remains in critical condition.
The victim has been identified as Roshni and the accused as Akash.
"We are very upset and we are very angry because like Nirbhaya this girl was not taken into AIIMS and was asked to go to Safdarjung Hospital. Now is there some quality control that JNU does not fulfill that students, teachers and karamcharis are not allowed? If the argument is that AIIMS is overloaded, which I agree, then why do you have just Safdarjung? Why not other hospitals close by? I think that that is a major issue which we have to take up," Professor Kamal Mitra Chinoy said here today.
Professor Chinoy also said that Roshni is still in a critical condition and is presently using a breathing apparatus at the hospital. " They were quite worried about her condition," Chinoy added.
Professor Chinoy clarified that he did not doubt the medical excellence of the doctors at AIIMS and Safdarjung amongst others, saying " I salute them for the great medical care and time they spend saving people. I am only making a suggestion for a further link, I am not criticizing them."
Chinoy said that precautionary health facilities must also be bettered at the university.
Contrary to the JNU account of the story, doctors at AIIMS have said that only Akash, the attacker, was brought to the hospital at 12:08p.m. today by the police. Akash was declared dead at 1:15p.m. this afternoon.
"The suspected cause of death is poisoning, but it is still not confirmed. He had minor to moderate injuries but (died) mainly due to poisoning. We could not revive him because he came in very serious condition. The confirmed diagnosis we will only come to know after the post-mortem," Dr. Sanjeev Bhoi said at AIIMS earlier today.
Police said the incident was reported at 11:15 a.m. Reports have suggested that the attack was pre-planned since Akash came armed with an axe and a knife. Police have also recovered a country-made revolver and a bottle of Sulphas from the spot.
Speaking to New Delhi Television (NDTV), Abhishek, a student said: "Akash was very disturbed. He had a country-made gun and threatened students. He was not allowing us to enter the classroom. But somehow we entered. He injured himself before we could do anything."
A fact-finding committee consisting of JNU professors has been formed and will submit its report by Wednesday evening.
According to the police both Akash and Roshani are B.A. students of the School of Language, studying Korean in JNU. The incident took place in room number 213 of the University. (ANI)

Since walking out of prison, "Hear Ye, Hear Ye" may be the best record Tip has had attached to his name. Clifford and Pharrell have been making music together dating all the way back to I'm Serious over a decade ago, and "Hear Ye…" provides visual proof the duo's musical comfort zone isn't fading anytime soon. More green screen effects than anything else, the video isn't anything write home about. However, the push for T.I.'s new solo album, aptly entitled Trouble Man, appears to be in the beginning stages of the promotion. Depending on whether records have some sort of impact on the public's musical tastebuds, this Pharrell collaboration could be more important than we're all giving it credit for.
That being said, the moment T.I. begins rapping about the night Big Phil was murdered in his verse here may be the best and most open he's been since "Dead & Gone" back in 2008.

What are the major differences between using a short term filler versus a permanent augmentation?
What Are the Risks of Having an Ultrasoft Lip Augmentation?
Doctor Answers 7
Lip augmentation: fillers vs. permanent implants
It is likely that you will get diverse opinions on this forum for this question. I agree with the last doctor who answered in that I prefer a patient to have a temporary filler, usually HA like Restylane or Juvederm before considering a permanent solution. And unlike some on this forum, I like lip implants (I prefer the Perma Facial Implant) as a means of achieving pleasing permanent augmentation. I also like Silikon 1000 as an alternate method of achieving permanent lip augmentation. Good luck!

What Are the Risks of Having an Ultrasoft Lip Augmentation?
Ultrasoft Lip Implants appear to be made out of Goretex which I quit using some 15 years ago because they had a tendency to move within the lip and get infected for no apparaent reason. IMHO, Alloderm Lip Implants are far superior to all other lip implants for Lip Augmentation. Alloderm produces soft natural fullnes and can be placed just below the lip mucosa.

Lip augmentation and permanent implants
Softform in the lip is a permanent implant. Experience with permanent implants has shown some capsular formation and the potential for shifting of the implant and changes in the smile.

Lip Augmentation
Short term fillers require you to have them performed every few months whereas a permanent augmentation does not. Some of my patients do not want others to know they are having their lips done and come in every few weeks to maintain a consistent fullness without waiting for them to go down. A permanent augmentation would prevent this.

Fillers vs permanent lip augmentation
Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane have several advantages over permanent implants. One obvious advantage is that surgery is not required. Another is that you can get either a rapid or a gradual correction depending upon how many syringes you have injected and you can decide as you go exactly how much correction looks good. Also, as your face ages it changes over the years. Touch up treatments are constantly being modified to fit the changing face. Filler injections typically last for at least one year and frequently patients do not need additional injections for several years. Lips can also be injected relatively painlessly using a "dental block" and ice as necessary. Fillers also now come premixed with lidocaine which also helps to reduce the discomfort.

Short term vs. permanent lip augmentation ?
Not all temporary nor all permanent products for lip augmentation are alike. In general, temporary solutions have the advantages of safety, predictability, and no donor site. More permanent products are so variable in their properties, it is impossible to generalize. Aquamid is my favorite, Permalip very safe but slightly firm, silicone more natural, but can become lumpy, and impossible to remove if problematic. Fat grafting may resorb, and dermis and ADM as well.

Lip fillers are always good to test the results before going to the permanent implants.
Once you decide on the size and look you like with your temporary filler, then switch to a permanent implant to give that great lip enhancement without having to get the painful shots every 3-6 months. sincerely,
David Hansen,MD

Incentive-based environmental regulation of domestic civil aviation in Sweden
In this paper we analyse the possibility of an incentive-based (IB) environmental regulation of domestic civil aviation in Sweden. From a regulation perspective, we identify important characteristics of domestic aviation. We discuss several, both practical and theoretical, critical aspects on IB regulation. In the short-run, the environmental performance of an IB regulation might be poor, since the most likely source of emission reductions is a reduction in the number of flights. However, we also find that the dynamic effects of an IB regulation are clearly better than for command-and-control regulations. Given this discussion, we investigate the prospects of implementing an optimal IB regulation and compare this with the present regulation and pricing of the infrastructure. We show that introducing an IB regulation could improve the over-all efficiency of the pricing system.

The House passed its version of health care reform on Saturday, and certain elements of the bill may affect how things are done in Minnesota.
The major parts of the bill say insurance companies can't deny coverage for pre-existing conditions, the uninsured can find coverage using a new health insurance exchange and that total out of pocket expenses would be capped. As part of the health insurance exchange, the government would offer its own health insurance plan called the public option.
The bill would require everyone to have health insurance and require most businesses to provide it. There are penalties for those who don't sign up for health insurance coverage and for businesses that refuse to provide it for their employees.
One major issue for Minnesota is the current differences in how the federal government reimburses doctors and hospitals who treat patients on Medicare and Medicaid. Many Minnesota lawmakers have argued that the current system penalizes Minnesota because it provides high-quality care at lower prices than other parts of the country.
Some Minnesota House members, notably Collin Peterson, say the House bill doesn't go far enough in equalizing these disparities. The House bill would require the Institute of Medicine to conduct two studies that analyze payment differences and design a new system to standardize payments. The federal government would carry out the Institute's recommendations unless Congress disapproves, a solution Rep. Betty McCollum helped design.
It's unclear how the House plan would affect Minnesota's health insurance programs such as MinnesotaCare and Medical Assistance. MinnesotaCare is a publicly subsidized program for Minnesotans who don't have access to affordable health care coverage, and whose average monthly enrollment in 2008 was 114,000.
The House plan creates a similar subsidized insurance system that would include more people than that in Minnesota so it's possible it could save the state money.
Medical Assistance is Minnesota's Medicaid program and covers an average of 527,000 low-income senior citizens, children, parents, and people with disabilities each month. It's jointly funded by the federal and state governments. The federal government's share was $3.1 billion in 2008; the state's share was $3 billion.
The Minnesota Department of Human Services said there are so many moving parts to the House reform legislation that it's too early to predict whether Minnesota will see a net loss or a net gain. The state legislature will ultimately have to sort that out if Congress passes a health care overhaul bill.
One of the ways the House bill funds reform would be a tax on high-income earners. Individuals who earn annually more than $500,000 or couples making $1 million or more would have to pay a so-called "health care surcharge."
In Minnesota, there are are about 8,000 households that would be affected or about .03 percent all the households in the state. Those in that income range would see their taxes go up by another 5.5 percent.
The House bill also imposes a tax on medical device makers. The House bill calls for a $20 billion fee on medical device manufacturers that would begin in 2013. That's about half the size of a tax being debated in the Senate.
The state's congressional delegation has opposed the tax increase because they say it would result in job cuts for medical device makers with a large presence in Minnesota. Supporters of the tax say expanding health coverage would create new business for the device manufacturers, and it make sense to ask them to help pay for the program.
Minnesotans would also see a change in what's called age-rating. This allows insurance companies to charge older individuals seeking insurance on the open market and some who work for small companies more solely because of their age. In Minnesota right now, insurance companies can charge those aged 50 to 64 three times as much as a younger adult. The House bill would cap age-rating at twice as much.
Passing the house bill was a significant step but only one step. It's now up to the U.S. Senate to merge its bills on health care reform. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada hinted the Senate might not be able to finish its work by the end of the year.
Several senators say the final version of a health care bill is likely to be dramatically different from the plan passed by the House.

Taste of Place, not quite to my taste
In Taste of Place: A Cultural Journey into Terroir, Amy Trubek looks at the definitions and manifestations of "terroir," or the idea that one can taste the place in which a product was produced. The term "terroir" is often used to describe flavors and varieties of wine, so Trubek appropriately begins with an examination of terroir in France's wine-making regions, but expands on her observations with examples from other products the United States. Across the distances between the locations of her various examples, she shows how the idea of terroir can have different meanings and implications in terms of culture, politics, economics, environment, and science. Ultimately, the reader comes to understand terroir as a multi-faceted idea that is itself largely dependent on where it is being used, but generally refers to how the process and place is made knowable in the product.
It was evident that Trubek was writing in the spirit of terroir. She attempted to bring the readers in to the places she was describing by detailing the landscape and scenery. While the intention was good, I found it made the book a labor to read. I felt like I was sorting through extraneous details that weighed down the book to identify her thesis. In addition to lengthy and repetitive landscape descriptions, I also found myself irritated at her almost excessive use of vocabulary and jargon. Upon finishing the book, I was not immediately or entirely sure what her final conclusion was, partially because I had been so distracted by too much extra information.
Despite these things, Trubek's book is still a thorough and valuable examination of the concept of terroir. As someone interested in ideas about localness and globalness, I was able to appreciate her book for how it demonstrates values about localness in a global world, looks at mechanisms with which to ensure or label localness, and presents dialogues happening around and about these ideas and implementations. She was not afraid to grapple with the paradoxes presented by the idea of the taste of place, addressing questions like how practice was actually meeting perception, or how terroir fits into American food habits. However, instead of verbose landscape descriptions, I would have liked to see Trubek deal a little more in depth perhaps about the consumer side of things. Is what is being made knowable being known? What messages being conveyed are actually being received? She does not necessarily ignore the consumer, but her ethnographic work focuses much more on the producers of the definitions of terrior and of food and drink to be sold under the values of terroir.
Ultimately, I found Taste of Place to be helpful in considering who is producing ideas about localness, and what social and cultural factors feed these ideas. Such considerations are crucial to a thoughtful and encompassing local food movement. In exploring the concept of terroir, Trubek also takes the reader further into dialogues about resistances of or alternatives to the industrial food system. Her book both reveals and presents the value and usefulness of having a cultural/scientific/political designation of taste. By exploring terroir in a variety of places and through a variety of products, Trubek has contributed an important analysis of the levels to which culture, science, and politics shape conceptions of terroir, and what terroir, in turn, does to producer and consumers' value systems.

Last summer it was Dr. Wirt, Gary, Ind., schoolmaster, who charged there was a "plot" afoot to undermine the existing form of government in the United States. Now it is General Smedley D. Butler, retired Marine Corps officer and platform lecturer, who charges that Wall street brokers tried to tempt him with a Hitler crown to set up a dictatorship in this country.
The Wirt charges were investigated by a Congressional committee, and after a thorough examination faded into thin air. But Washington got a laugh from the incident. As a matter of fact the affair now is a standing joke. Since the Wirt bubble burst the capital has been in dire need of a good laugh. Now along comes General Butler with his revelations before the House of Representatives Committee on Un-American Activities. And Washington, first irritated over what was termed General Butler's "publicity stunt," is inclined to have another good laugh.
Representative John W. McCormack of Massachusetts, committee chairman, is not inclined to pass judgment on General Butler's charges, but intends to get at the bottom of the affair. Representative Samuel Dickstein of New York, vice-chairman and author of the resolution which established the committee, has apparently become excited over General Butler's allegations.
Representative Dickstein took Dr. Wirt quite seriously and missed out on some of the laughs that Washington was then enjoying. There is great danger that he may miss out again in this sensational accusation by General Butler. Representative Dickstein is quoted as saying: "From present indications Butler has the evidence. He's not going to make any serious charges unless he has something to back them up. We'll have men here with bigger names than he."
General Butler made clear to the committee that he refused to be dictator. But nevertheless, he claims to have had the offer, and that is shocking. What will Senator Huey Long of Louisiana say?
Senator Long has gone no further than to give the country the general impression that he would like to be President of the United States by the Constitutional method. True, Senator Long is doing a lot of dictating in Louisiana, but then, it is only one State and Huey is having a good time.
No one is likely to get ahead of Senator Long in a race for dictatorship honors—not even General Butler, nor the wealthy Wall Street brokers.
As one editor put it, the American dictator will come neither from the ranks of retired generals nor from the United States Senate. This editor points out that if this country is to have a dictator, in all probability he will come from some obscure place.
Hitler was a house painter working by the day when he started his climb to head the German government. And that was not so long ago. Our future dictator may yet be in grammar school, or in a CCC camp, or in a cradle.
Contrary to what scare-heads have to say, this country has a long way to go before coming ripe for a dictatorship. Both Congress and the Supreme Court must collapse, as did the legislative and judicial branches in Germany and Italy, before the dictator may appear before them to be sworn to office for life. And General Butler and the wealthy New York brokers know this to be a fact.
Mrs. Florence P. Kahn of California, whose wit and clever repartee is well known to members of the House of Representatives, needed all of her store of good humor in the last Congressional campaign. And she never hesitated to use it, which may be one reason why she was re-elected while other Republicans fell by the wayside.
Always keeping her ear to the ground, Mrs. Kahn is interested in knowing what the home folk are saying about Florence P. Kahn. During the last campaign she was a trifle taken aback by reports from her grapevine wire. People were talking about her age. But it did not take long for Mrs. Kahn to spike the gossip. "I hear reports that I am getting old," she told one political rally in her district. "I don't know who started this, but I do hope talk of this kind doesn't get back to my mother."
Down in New Jersey, Representative Isaac Bachrach is having troubles over his re-election. The veteran Republican's re-election is being protested by his Democratic opponent.
Representative Bachrach won re-election by only 851 votes. Either a recount or a Congressional investigation will be demanded to prevent Representative Bachrach from resuming the seat which he has occupied for the last twenty years.
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace believes in going back to the Old Testament for ideas which he may apply to the government's farm adjustment program. The other day Secretary Wallace announced an "ever normal granary" plan through which a reserve supply of farm products may be kept on hand for use during an emergency period such as drought.
In announcing the plan Secretary Wallace pointed out it was the same in principle as that put into effect by Joseph in Egypt to conserve the bountiful crops produced in the seven years of plenty for the seven years of want.

Some Favor the United Railways,
Others the Willamette Valley
Traction Company, and
Kcsult Is Indefinite.
Jit the request of 11 Councilmcn, Mayor
Laxxc yesterday called a special session ol
the City Council for Thursday afternoon
jt 2 o'clock to consider the Front-street
franchise. The amended franchises -Kill
thn be presented to the Council, and the
majority and minority reports of the
street committee, the first favoring the
granting of the franchise asked by the
United Railways Company, and the latter
the Willamette Valley Traction Com
pany's franchise, will be presented. Inter
est In tho outcome of the session Is high
jmd In the meantime the interests Involved
kt explaining the situation to tho Individ
ual motnburs of the Council, with the hope
f winning them over.
Vote Xot Kusy to Predict.
The alignment of the Councilmcn when
the vote Is taken is hard to predict, as the
majority say they are not yet fully ad
vised and choose to reserve their opinions
until they read the amended franchises
Hd receive the report of the street com
mittee. Definite action on the Front-street fran
chwe matter Is probable. In view of the
fact that the Thursday afternoon session
te called Jor the express purpose of con
sidering and taking action on the fran
chise question. Public interest Is high on
the subject, inasmuch as the llnish of
the contest for the franchise is believed
to be in sight.
Favors Fulled Hallways.
John Annand. of the street committee,
when seen last night, said: "I think the
1'nlted Hallways Company has the better
proposition of the two by long odds and
for that reason voted In their favor in
the street committee. 1 am of the same
(pinion now that I was then."
H. A. Belding, when asked for an opin
ion on the subject, said: "I, have not yet
een a copy of the franchises, and so do
iit kiwff tho morltK of thp two nronosi-
l&Vons. I prefer not to dlscuF-s the matter
.jjntit I am more familiar with the offers
k the rival companies."
Frank S. Bennett said: "I am told tho
fcireot committee favors the franchise of
tho Unltod Railways Company, with equal
rights for the Willamette Valley Traction
Company on Front street. I want to find
out the offers of the two companies ex
actly, as I am not fully advised at prcs
rnt on the merits of the two propositions.
1 understand the city has not the author
ity to accept the line on Front street, as
proposed by the Willamette Valley Trac-
Company without having a vote of
the people on the question. I doubt If It
Ik best to hold up the propositions wc
have bofore us while we take a ballot of
the people to sec what they favor in the
George D. Dunning's Opinion.
Goorge D. Dunning expressed himself
in favor of the Willamette Valley Trac
tion Company's franchise. "I think tho
Willlamette Valley Traction Company
ought to have the franchise," .said he. "as
It seams to me that company has the bet
ter offor to make to the city and it ap
plied for the franchise prior to the appli
tntion of the United Railways Company.
2 intend to vote for the Willamette Valley
Traction Company, and I believe the
United Railways will have a hard time to
carry tho Council."
Thomas Gray said he has not yet made
up lils mind. "I have no preference yet.
and will go into the Council with an open
mind." Kttld he. "As I understand the
situation, the United Railways Company
has amended Its franchise to guarantee
the construction of a line to Salem. This
i a now feature of the situation, as pre
viously the backers of that corporation
made no definite statement of a road be
yond the city limits."
Dan Kdlahor. of the street committee,
wlio favored the Willamette Traction's
proposition during the sessions of that
body, said last night he has not yet
formed an opinion so as to be able to
announce how he will vote when the
question comas op Thursday afternoon in
the Council. "I want to se what proposi
tions will be made In the Council meet
ing bofore I vote." he said.
Position of A. X. Wills.
A. X. Wills favors the United Railways.
"I shall vote for the United Railways
Company." said he. "That company has
had one proposition all the way through,
while the Willamette Valley Traction peo
ple havo made a new proposition every
time we met with them. The United Rail
ways backers have brought their families
here to make Portland their home, and I
think we should welcomo them."
W. Y. Masters, of the street committee,
who voted In favor of the United Rail
ways Company, said: "I shall vote as I
did in the committee unless some change
comes up to make a material difference
in the situation. Taking It altogether, I
think the United Railways Company of
fers the better proposition."
Other Councilmcn Stand.
Of the remaining Councilmcn, it is
claimed that R. E. Menefee. R. A. Pres
ton. A. G. Rushlight and George S. Shep
herd favor the proposition of the Willam
ette Valley Traction Company, while W.
T. Vaughn and John T. Sharkey are un
questionably for the United Railways.
Hugh S. Wallace, the remaining member
of the Council, is considered a doubtful
quantity, and neither side claims to have
his support. Where his vote will be cast
cannot now be guessed.
As it takes ten votes to carry the fran
chise, a deadlock is possible, but enough
votes may be won to either side before
Thursday to carry the franchise for one
of the contesting companies.

At the meeting of the City Board
of Education last night. Director I. N.
Flelschnor excited no little comment
by proposing? that a room in each local
schoolhousc nhould be set aside for
the uso of teachers for luncheon pur
poses, and equipped with table, chairs,
cpok stove and such other utensils as
might add to their comfort.
In reply to tho argument that the
pupils might also demand the same
privileges, air. Flelschner explained
that the same conditions did not apply
to their case, as nearly all the teachers
resided at a long distance from the
schoolhouses. while the pupils gener
ally lived close by.
It is said the system has been in
vogue for some time In the Brooklyn,
Highland and one or two other schools,
and appears to give the utmost satis
faction. Mrs. I TV. SItton, chairman of the
board, coincided with Director Flelsch

tion ought to be decided at a full board
meeting. Director Williams being ab

Cost of Innovation.
"Why, it would cast $1000 to carry
out your ideas," said Wittenberg, ad
dressing the originator of the propo
sition. "It wo.uld be $1000 well expended,
then," responded Flelschner. Upon the
suggestion of delay, he continued:
"If you don't take It up tonight I
shall bring it up again, as I am de
termined to push it through."
"Then I admire your nerve,' was
Wittenberg's parting salute.
A letter was received from Chief Camp
bell, of the Fire Department, to the ef
fect that the outside stairs of the Fail,

and should be repaired without further
delay. A motion to that effect was carV
ried, and Supervising Architect T. J.
Jones directed to make the necessary re

of like character at the Couch School.

It was reported that the completion of
the East Side High School was serious
ly handicapped owing to the lumber fam
ine, caused by an abnormal export de
mand. About feet are required for
the first floor, the nondelivery of which
causes a corresponding delay in other di

- Complicity in Stcnnenbcrg
Murder Is Condemned.
Oregon Socialists met in state conven
tion yesterday afternoon and last evening,
named a full ticket for the coming
state election, adopted a platform and re
assured one another that the day of su
premacy for Socialism was close at hand.
The convention was held In Socialists'
Hall. 3CO Davis street, and was attended
by 121 delegates, many of them repre
senting remote counties and districts.
The convention was a most harmonious
onevjbroughout. A ticket was decided
upon at a caucus held behind closed doors
during the forenoon. The placing of theso
candidates on the ticket required short
time and little or no discussion when tho
convention was called to "order. The vot
ing was by acclamation, and tho choice
of every candidate was made unani
mously. Condemn the Arrests.
A resolution was adopted condemning
the arrest of Western Federation officers
in connection with the Stcuncnbcrg mur
der, and a subscription circulated for tho
purpose of adding to the funds for aiding
the defendants In their forthcoming trials
in Idaho. Other resolutions arc said to
have been passed, the nature of which
those in charge of tho meeting, as well as
the delegates, refused to reveal, saying
they concerned only those immediately in
terested in u.o cause of Socialism. R. R.
Ryan, of Salem, served as chairman, and
R. C Brown, of Albany, as secretary. Tho
platform records tho usual dissatisfaction
of the laboring man with the apportion
ment of the products of capital-and labor.
There are nine clauses in all. and among
them is a declaration supporting tho
cause of women in their struggle for the
right of ballot.
Text of riatform.
The nine clauses of the platform follow:
We. the Socialist party of the State of Ore

allegiance to the Socialist party of America
and aflrm our unfaltering adherence to the
principles and programme of International
revolutionary socialism. We bae our appeal
upon the following declaration as our plat
form of principles:
1. Labor produces all wealth.
Labor's share Is a mean and uncertain
portion of Its products.
3. The capitalist class appropriates products
of labor by the private ownership of the

should be preserved, not by; constant medication, but by careful avoidance of
every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a
remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence
should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial

Beckham looking for revenge against Croatia
David Beckham has claimed he is looking for World Cup revenge on Croatia after they dumped England out of the qualifying stages of Euro 2008.
Beckham, currently in Sydney with his club side the Los Angeles Galaxy, also repeated his hope that he will be able to reach 100 caps for his country as he still has the 'experience and the passion'.
England were yesterday drawn in the same group as Croatia for the qualifying stages of the 2010 World Cup, along with Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Andorra.
'It's a group that there's still some very tough teams in there and obviously Croatia's in there again and we have to try to get our own back on Croatia,' Beckham said.
'But it's important that we go into the qualifiers now with a positive frame of mind, there's going to be obviously a new manager in place by then I'm sure so we'll have to wait and see.'
The former national team captain said he hoped to add to his tally of 99 international caps and help England get to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010.
'I know how things can change so quickly in the national team - eight months ago if someone would have said to me that I'd be getting another cap and playing for England I probably wouldn't have believed them,' Beckham said.
'But I was brought back in and I got up to 99 caps and I want to go on from there.
'I believe that I can, I'm 32 years old, but I believe that I've got the experience and the passion still to play for my country.
'And I hope that when the next manager comes in that he gives me that chance but we'll have to wait and see.'
Tomorrow the Galaxy play a friendly against Sydney FC, whose line-up boasts former Middlesbrough playmaker Juninho and striker Michael Bridges, who played for England at under-21 level.
And Beckham warned his side to expect a tough challenge against the diminutive Brazilian.
'We know that they've got some talented players, obviously Juninho is one of the best players that I've played against in the Premiership,' Beckham said.
'It's great that he's here, it's great for their team and it's also great for the league.'

Discussion in 'College Football & the NFL Draft' started by HeartofHouston, Oct 12, 2006.
Would You Draft Garrett Wolfe?
Why or Why Not?
And If You Would, In Which Round?
I'd draft him yes, but not above the fourth round right now. He is extremely undersized and has only had one good year.
256 carries 1656 yrds 6.5 ypc 84 Long 18 TDs
242 carries 1580 yrds 6.5 ypc 76 Long 16 TDs
2006 (so far)
156 carries 1343 yrds 8.6 ypc 75 Long 13 TDs
If you wanna call that "1" good year then by all means go ahead but that looks like 3 to me and no history of injuries.
He was not bad in the years past. I know he is not playing against the best D's week in week out, but he has done real good this year, and not bad other years.
I would want to draft him, but I don't know in what round.
He did pretty good against Ohio State's defense, and he was their main target.
[Wolfe] totaled 171 yards on the ground and had five catches for 114 yards.
Yeah, I'd take him, first chance the Texans get. He has great speed and lateral movement, something the Texans sorely lack. However, based on highlights from the OSU game, he looks to enjoy picking his holes. I'm not sure if that will work in the Texans system.
he's undersized and isn't built for the NFL.
I think he's P-I-M-P, but I think he'd be another DD
5-7 and 177 pounds.
Barry Sanders: 5-6, 206 pounds
There's a difference, but not enough to make me think he won't be able to contribute. At the very least, the way this guy can explode off the ball, he could tear up the place as a returner.
Is he injury-prone?
Maybe in the 3rd.
Was DD in college? What I meant was that he'll take a beating in the NFL, not sure how durable he will be.
I would take him over Peterson right now, but I have mixed feelings about the NFL.
I'm a Buckeye, I was ticked how many yards we gave up, until I watched him in subsequent games and realized we DID restrict him.
I like him, and definately would draft him. He's a producer, and unlike the rest of his team, a winner. But no way would I take him earlier than the 3rd.
He is tearing up the MAC, and will probably continue to do so. But it is obvious to me that the talent is there. He reminds of Reggie Bush, but is smaller.
How long before we start comparing Peterson and Wolfe?
seems like every year some small back gets the "what about barry sanders?" question, and they always disappear.
besides, sanders was a tank. wolfe is a scrawny little thing.
Yep. 177 is no where near 206.
"he's tearing up the mac"
yeah...um...did you guys see him play the #1 team in the country, Ohio State? He ran for like 170 yards on them...He has pro potential..probably as a Kick/punt returner and scatback/#3 WR..obviously 170 is about 40-50 pounds too small to be a 15-20 carries a game RB in the pros.
Wolfe just had 25 yards against Western Mich. Did anybody see what happened?
Looks like he has Reggie Bush syndrom, every run in the high-light clip against OSU was to the outside.
Your kidding right?
I think he means in regards to college production. And seeing as AP is missing his collar bone, i would take wolfe too :bananasplit:
Separate names with a comma.

Bike Ride
219 ft
- Begins in:
- Saskatoon, Canada
- Created By:
- Jeff hehn
- Description:
- Starting from Caffe Sola take 23rd to the river and then follow the scenic Spadina Crescent to the north end. A few jogs to get over to Warman Road which then takes you north. Be careful on this stretch of road as the shoulder is narrow and there can be fair bit of traffic. Once you hit the 4 lane you will find a nice wide shoulder to Warman - take the first Warman Exit and follow it into the town and hang a left at the lights (main street I think). Follow nice country paved road through Martensville to the Dalmeny highway. Hang left back south - again be careful as this short stretch of road has no shoulder and some traffic. Cross over the yellow head (make a pit stop at the fruit truck if you time it right) and carry on down another nice paved country road to 33rd which can then be ridden back to the river bank. Complete your trip with lunch or treat and coffee at Caffe Sola (www.caffesola.ca)

Full-spectrum nails!
Just as ombre hair was on its way out the door, the trend has boomeranged back, only this time it's in the form of a manicure.
Take Lauren Conrad for example, who not only rocked blue-streaked strands at the HTC Status Social launch event in Hollywood on Tuesday, but also sported an ombre manicure.
From thumb to pinky, each of her fingernails was painted one shade of blue darker than the other -- from periwinkle to dark navy and black.
The Hills alum, 25, has a penchant for trying out new hair and makeup trends -- so much that in addition to penning her own style guide, she co-authors a blog, TheBeautyDepartment.com, with her hairstylist, Kristin Ess, and makeup artist, Amy Nadine. Here, fans can find step-by-step instructions on how to get everything from LC's giant ballerina bun to her edgy winged liner.
PHOTOS: Lauren Conrad's 10 best hairstyles
Currently the trendsetting star is getting ready for the launch of her new clothing line, Paper Crown, which is due to hit stores like Nordstrom and Fred Segal in early August. This will be Conrad's second stint at designing womenswear -- she also has LC Lauren Conrad with Kohl's.

Mutt experts - Mutt won't use the Maildir I specify in .muttrc
I'm posting this in the Debian because I have a suspicion it might be something inherent to the Mutt build for the distro (Debian Lenny). I have configured Exim to drop mail in ~/Maildir, and I want Mutt to read this directory automatically when started; however:
The reason I think this may be to do with the distro build is the 'MAILPATH' flag in the output of 'mutt -v':
Mutt 1.5.18 (2008-05-17)
For reference, here is the content of my .muttrc:
set mbox_type = Maildir
Mutt 1.5.18 started at Mon Aug 24 07:06:06 2009
I'm at work now (no Debian box to check here), but this works fine for me on Debian. My mail is found, even though it's in an odd place:
set mbox_type=Maildir
Yay - thank you.
After adding the 'set spoolfile' and 'set mbox' lines with my own directory paths, everything works as it should. I wasn't aware I needed to specify those.
More specifically, I wasn't aware of the $MAIL environment variable which is where mutt was getting the incorrect mail spool path from. So I added 'MAIL=/home/aaron/Maildir' to .bashrc and removed the 'set spoolfile' line from .muttrc, just in case any other programs look at $MAIL for their info.

Gul's comments came after the Constitutional Court decided on an appeal filed by the main opposition concerning the tenure of the president.
What is important for me is to do the best I can as a president, Gul told reporters in Izmir following a lunch with Austrian President Heinz Fischer.
Asked if he would run for presidency for a second term, Gul stated that there was plenty of time left to discuss this issue.
The Turkish Constitutional Court said on Friday regarding an appeal filed by the main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) to annul a law on presidential elections that incumbent President Abdullah Gul's tenure is seven years and that he is eligible for re-election.
The court heard an opposition plea on Friday and said the incumbent president's tenure is seven years and that he can be re-elected.
From the early days of Gul's presidency there were doubts over whether he was subject to a five or seven year term, and the opposition wanted the court to annul a law passed in January that said his term should end in 2014.

A federal judge has upheld a gay judge's ruling to strike down California's same-sex marriage ban.
The sponsors of Proposition 8 had argued that the original judge in the case, now-retired U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker, had a conflict of interest because he has had a 10-year relationship with another man and might want to get married.
Walker ruled last year that Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution.
In a 19-page ruling, Chief U.S. Judge James Ware said Walker had no obligation to divulge whether he wanted to marry his own gay partner before he made his decision on Proposition 8.
Tuesday's ruling doesn't settle the legal fight over Proposition 8 as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is still considering Walker's ruling.

I Was a Kaleidoscope
(Acoustic Version)
Death Cab for Cutie
Intro: / A - - - / D – Asus2 - / E – Esus4 - / D - - - / (x2)
A D Asus2
I put on my overcoat and
E Esus4 D
walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms
A D Asus2
And they were grouped in twos or threes, like a
E Esus4 D
Morse code message was sent from me to
A D Asus2
Me. And cars on slippery slopes were stuck: people
E Esus4 D
pushing through their mittens as I was beginning
A D Asus2
to feel it soaking through my shoes, getting
E Esus4 D (x2 measures)
colder with every step i took to your apartment, dear.
Riff 1
A D Asus2
And I was a kaleidoscope: the
E Esus4 D
snow on my lenses distorting the image
A D Asus2
of what was only one of you and I
E Esus4 D (x2 measures)
didn't know which one to address as all your lips moved
(w/Riff 1)
and this is when I forget breathe
and all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded.
And the look that you're giving me,
That tells me exactly what you are thinking:
"This ain't working anymore."
Repeat Intro
They got their mothers worked into a panic
sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
the parents layered clothes until the children couldn't move and then
left them outside 'til their noses were blue and
F#5 Dm/maj7
I got left there, too.
/ A - - - / D – Asus2 - / E – Esus4 - / D - - - /

I put on my overcoat and

walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms
A D Asus2
And they were grouped in twos or threes, like a
E Esus4 D5 (x4 measures)
Morse code message was sent from me to
Where is Riff One?
so, this tab has been on another website for months. it's the exact same. even claiming that there's a riff one when theres not. if you actually figured out this tab you get props for that because it's pretty damn accurate. but if you didn't then you should point that out and not claim someone else's work.

You may remember Fox News contributor Ben Carson for his comments comparing homosexuality to sex with animals and pedophilia. He's back with another head-scratcher of a theory, and this one is decidedly more elaborate. Gay marriage is a Marxist plot to impose a 'new world order'.
Video is AFTER THE JUMP, but the logic is tough to follow on a first listen, so I've transcribed below to help you follow along.
[America's] strength lies in our unity. And there are so many forces that are there to try to destroy that unity —the only way to bring America down. If you look in a lot of writings of the Neo-Marxists when they talk about the New World Order, they say there's only one stick in the mud: how do you get [America] out of the way and how do you change them? They said there were two things: their Judeo-Christian faith, and their strong families.
Here's the gist: America's "strong family values" and "Judeo-Christian faith" have made it the final pin to fall in the "New World Order" conspiracy, where a global power snatches control of all the world's countries. Carson was just announced as the keynote for Pacific Justice Institute; an organization recently classified a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. It bears stating that this is not the first time Carson has done a keynote for a group of such distinction.

Phone and utility bills. My husband, Avi, recently spotted two mistakes totaling $110 on our monthly phone bill. We were billed $80 for a home repair of our wireless network. The repair did not happen. We challenged both charges and were given credit.
Magazine renewal fees. Through a promotion, we had ordered several magazines for $2 per annual subscription. Last week, we received a postcard with details about an automatic renewal and discovered we were billed $120 to renew four magazines. We canceled the subscriptions.
Phantom monthly charges. After examining her Internet and cable television bills, my mother discovered recurring charges for features she had not ordered. She protested and had the charges removed.
Pay stub mistakes. Review work pay stubs. You may be responsible for tax or income errors. If you've been overpaid, your company could request immediate repayment. Likewise, a friend once faced a substantial tax penalty for a recurring tax error that was ultimately her responsibility.
Promotions. From free facials to complimentary cups of coffee, we have found useful discounts by reading promotional mail, including e-mail. Coupons for food, entertainment, merchandise and services have yielded valuable savings and services.

When I spotted a low carb pizza recipe with the crust made from a low carb flour tortilla on Tony's Food Chronicles, I knew that was a recipe that I wanted to try. Pizza is something I really like, and although the South Beach frozen pizza isn't bad, it's quite pricey for what you get. I like really thin crust pizza, so I thought this would be ideal. I shared Tony's pizza recipe in one of my "Food Blog Finds" posts where I spotlight low carb recipes found on other blogs.
I put the pizzas on a large cookie sheet which I had sprayed with non-stick spray and baked them (still at 400) for about 15 minutes. They smelled fantastic when they were cooking.
Here is how the pizzas looked when they were done.
I ate this for lunch with a salad of baby arugula lightly dressed with olive oil, lime juice, a couple of drops of red wine vinegar, salt and papper. It was a great lunch.
I made three pizzas and froze the other two. After I try one of the frozen ones I will let you know how they held up in the freezer. Thanks again Tony, for a great idea for low carb pizza crust.

Who's This Charming Man? Upcoming Morrissey Biopic Has Its Morrissey
British actor Jack Lowden will play Steven Patrick Morrissey in an upcoming biopic about the enigmatic singer and former frontman of the Smiths, Deadline reports.
Lowden, 25, recently appeared in the BBC epic War & Peace and won an Olivier Award for his stage performance in 2013's Ghosts. He's also reportedly in talks for a major role in Christopher Nolan's upcoming World War II adventure, Dunkirk.
Steven will tell the story of Morrissey's life before the formation of the Smiths in 1982. It'll be the first feature from director Mark Gill, who co-wrote the script with William Thacker, his collaborator on the Oscar-nominated 2013 animated short, The Voorman Problem. Producer Orian Williams was behind the 2007 drama, Control, about late Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis.
When news of the film's development surfaced in 2014, Gill told the BBC, "I can't deny that this is a love letter to Steven Patrick Morrissey and the dark satanic mills of Manchester."
Morrissey released an in-depth account of his life in 2013's aptly titled Autobiography and Steven is not an authorized biopic. Meanwhile, Moz is busy considering a mayoral run in London.
