Hahajima (母島, meaning "Mother Island") is the second-largest island of the Ogasawara Islands or Bonin Islands south of the Japanese main island chain. It is about 21 km2 (8 sq mi) in area with a population of 440.
The highest points are Chibusayama, (literally "Breast Mountain"), approximately 462 metres (1,516 ft), and Sakaigatake, 443 metres (1,453 ft). The largest island of the group, Chichijima is located approximately 50 km (31 mi) to the north. Together with nearby smaller islands like Anejima and Imōtojima and Mukōjima, Hahajima forms the Hahajima Rettō (母島列島), or in former times, the "Baily Group".
The island is within the political boundaries of Ogasawara Village, Ogasawara Subprefecture, Tokyo, Japan.
The first European discovery of the Bonin Islands is said to have taken place in 1543, by the Spanish explorer, Bernardo de la Torre.[1] Hahajima was originally called Coffin Island or Hillsborough Island and settled by Europeans before becoming part of Japan. In World War II, the Japanese government removed the locals and fortified the island; it was the target of several attacks by US forces during World War II. What is left of the defense works is now one of the tourist attractions of the island. The island can be reached by ferry in about two hours from Chichijima. The economy of Hahajima is based on commercial fishing, as well as a state-run rum distillery.
Today Hahajima has a population of 450, but the population was 1546 in 1904 and 1905 in 1940. There is one road from the (now-abandoned) village of Kitamura (北村) at the north end of the island to the village of Okimura (沖村) - formerly "Newport" at the southern end of the island, where the harbor is located. Ogasawara Village operates the island's public elementary and junior high schools. Tokyo Metropolitan Government Board of Education operates Ogasawara High School[1] on nearby Chichijima.
Hahajima is of considerable interest to malacologists because of its endemic land snail fauna, including the eponymous Lamprocystis hahajimana. Due to the widespread presence of invasive species including goats (which destroy habitat) and rodents, flatworms and the rosy wolfsnail (which eat the native snails), it was feared that many of the endemics had become extinct.[2]
But most if not all of the endemic land snail species seem to persist on the remote Higashizaki peninsula on the eastern coast. This is a quite pristine expanse of ground, scenic but very hard to reach (one has to climb Mt. Chibusa before descending to the peninsula). It consists of sheer seacliffs surrounding a plateau with Chinese fan palm (Livistona chinensis), pandanus and broadleaf (e.g. Persea kobu, a wild avocado) forest, and appears to be untouched by invasive species at present. It has been proposed that access to the area should be monitored, so that visitors will not inadvertently contribute to destroying this unique area.[2]
All of these snails are endemic at least to the Ogasawara Islands.
- Boninena callistoderma - Endangered, now restricted to Hahajima and nearby Anejima[2]
- Gastrocopta boninensis - Vulnerable
- Hirasea acutissima - Endangered (believed extinct, rediscovered 2003), endemic to Hahajima[2]
- Lamellidea biplicata - Vulnerable
- Lamprocystis hahajimana - Endangered
- Mandarina hahajimana - Data deficient, possibly a new taxon[2]
- Mandarina polita - Data deficient
- Ogasawarana yoshiwarana - Critically endangered (believed extinct, rediscovered 2003), endemic to Hahajima[2]
- Ogasawarana arata - Data deficient
- Paludinella minima - Data deficient
- Ptychalaea dedecora - Vulnerable
- Tornatellides tryoni
Among birds, the Bonin white-eye (Apalopteron familiare), a gaudy-colored passerine, seems to occur nowhere else anymore than on Hahajima[verification needed]. The extinct Bonin grosbeak (Chaunoproctus ferreorostris) is sometimes said to have occurred in the Hahajima Group (though not on Haha-jima itself), but this seems not to be true. Columba janthina nitens, the Ogasawara subspecies of the Japanese wood-pigeon, used to occur on Haha-jima. While it is not precisely known when it vanished from this island[verification needed], the taxon apparently became completely extinct during the 1980s.

Why do individuals go deep into medicine? Or become societal employees? Or psychologists? And naturopaths and homeopaths? Why go through years of training together with nasty, unsettled medical internships? You could begin to enter into economics or potentially weapons producing or lobbying?
Next, search for a translator that knows something (a great deal of something, preferably) about your target audience. Ask each professional translator (not your nephew that did a 3-month trip with the peace corps in Costa Rica) you interview about their relationship with the target audience.
Secondly, parking can be really hard and pricey. It's exceptionally unusual to discover a totally free parking spot in Europe and the cops have the tendency to be extremely stringent about implementing the guidelines. You will most likely park in a parking garage which procedure, in and of itself, can be an experience since it's commonly a computerized procedure. Thankfully, the devices generally provide instructions in English, but you can't always depend on it. Parking garages and some spaces in parking lots also tend to be on the little side. If you drive peace corps volunteer a larger automobile, it could be a challenge to park it without losing a side mirror. You'll certainly desire to review parking in tight areas.
Although the sadness for deaths of our young and brave might never be forgotten, the country experienced a vibrance with our triumph in WWII; this feeling beginning with VJ Day. America became a country providing wonderful opportunities. The oneness of its citizens then was so gorgeous. As an American, I felt called to do something – I considered going back to college for an MBA, however decided no. Rather, I really wanted to be a participant right then, so I ended up being a test pilot and tested the F4U Corsair which was the most able Naval/Marine boxer aircraft being produced at that time. In fact, the F4U Corsair, along with the Air Force's Mustang, had actually established our air superiority in the Pacific.
I suched as the huge hot tub even better than the pool, but to access it, you need to go outdoors! That's not a lot fun in late January! Fortunately, the shock of the cold is peace corps job brief lived, because the hot tub is close to the lodge. The jacuzzi has to do with two and a half feet deep and there are 2 areas that run bubbles in cycles as well as a fountain that's terrific for getting a little aqua massage.
Photography is an activity that works in combination with practically any other pastime you might pick. With today's incredible and surprisingly economical automatic video cameras, and digital equipment, virtually any individual can be a professional photographer. And with the easy-to-use camera you can even be your own film producer.
I wish my readers have access to hot showers whenever and wherever they want one. If rotten luck strikes, however, understanding how to take a bucket bath can make the ordeal easier to manage.

Sorry. I know you and I disagree about this, but it has to be reiterated. Many people are no longer going to trust Tony's judgment. It doesn't matter if CDBI is OK if we're afraid the author's going to threaten us with legal action, take down the mailing lists, or that others are going to fork CDBI to avoid these problems.

Right now, I'm very hard-pressed to think of any way I could recommend CDBI.

"If you don't know where you're going, you'll end up someplace else." ~Yogi Berra
There are a lot of businesses on Facebook these days. Most likely you're one of them. Why not? It's the most frequently checked site on the Internet. There are 852 million daily logins and 25% of those users log on 5 times a day. Of course your customer is there and that means you should be too.
It's one thing to create a Facebook page (anyone can do that). It's quite another to manage your page successfully. Don't fool yourself. Social Media platforms may be free but the strategy, training, planning, effort, time and budget are not. Jumping into Social without a plan is like driving in a strange city without GPS. You may think you're taking the right path to your destination but even if you make it to where you thought you wanted to go, you don't know exactly how you got there.
I make myself fairly available to my readers who have questions about Social Media and online reputation management. Every time someone reaches out to me, I reply with their answer and then ask them, "What's your biggest challenge with Social Media". It's a great way for me to keep my finger on the pulse of dealership operations and what's important to dealers regarding their Social marketing.
I asked that question recently to a dealer who'd attended on of my presentations. He replied, "I don't think we have a big challenge with Social Media. We seem to be allocating the resources available to do a good job." Wow, I thought, that's pretty cool…no challenges. Then I shook myself back to reality knowing that every marketer has challenges. So, I took a gander at their Facebook page: 200 likes and not much engagement. That's success?
Then it occurred to me – how does this dealer really know they're doing a good job on Social? Did they plan their strategy, set their objectives, identify their brand's traits and customers' interests? Judging by their numbers, that answer is no.
I spent 70% of my automotive retail career as a CFO or GM. That's one reason that makes me different from all the other peeps out there who are in the automotive Social Media space. I bring the NUMBERS into it. If you set objectives, plan your strategy and execute it correctly, you can measure what you've done and know where your efforts are best spent. Know what you want. Numbers don't lie.
The ONLY way to know if you're succeeding on Social Media is to know if you're meeting or exceeding your objectives.
You must measure everything you do in Social marketing. Measurement is about more than just results. It must tie back to your objectives. If you don't know what you want, how will you know how to get it?
To illustrate my point further, I must share a snippet (ie: promotional marketing article) about an "automotive social media agency" who recently posted the "outstanding" results of a Texas Kia dealership's Facebook page/promotion. This "agency" boasts about all the things they did for the dealer but the reality is that the dealer's Facebook page has 1,274 likes with 17 People Talking About It. With an engagement level at 1%, there's not really much happening in that community, least of all leads and sales!
If people aren't interacting with your content, you're not having conversations with them. Every sale starts with a conversation – whether it's on Facebook, email, phone or in person. Sales happen both when people are talking and when you're running specific campaigns.
Now that you know how important it is to set objectives, you're probably wondering what it is you need to measure so you can tie those results back to your objectives. Here are my top 5:
- Weekly engagement
- What posts got the most attention, likes, comments and shares
- How many likes were obtained and where they're from (should be your market area)
- How many leads were generated
- How many sales were closed
Social is like any other marketing medium in that your end goal is to generate leads and sales. But to pave the way you need specific objectives that point to your ultimate goal. Develop a roadmap for your Social marketing and you'll sleep better at night knowing that you truly are succeeding on Social Media.

This section is about some of the things that inspire me, my hobbies and interests etc. and of what gets me going.
You may have been asked yourself the question: "Well, what's your passion?" And for me this is a question that has been teasing me a lot cause I don't have just one passion and have loads – always have and probably always will. Just as in business where I like to engage in many different things then I love to engage in many varied things out of interest, pleasure, sports and recreation.
Thus you will find me drawn to anything from art to zoology. In this section I will give you a glimpse of some of these areas of interest.
I must apologize to my visitors. Analytics say that this particular page is actually one of the most visited pages currently and yet (along with pages on my newest venture that is giving me huge returns and in which you could become a part and make same kinds of returns), I have nothing posted here as of yet.

Paratracheal Mass
What is a paratrachial mass which has been located in the right lung?
Thank you for your question. A paratracheal mass is an abnormality located next to the trachea or "windpipe." The cause cannot be determined without a biopsy.

The Escondido Creek Conservancy is in the running for a $25,000 grant that would help the nonprofit expand its education program.
The conservancy has been nominated for the 2013 ECO Ambassador Award for its Elfin Forest Interpretive Center education program. The San Diego River Park Foundation, San Diego Gas & Electric, and CBS Channel 8 are partners in the award to raise awareness in the region of innovative environmental programs. The conservancy program hosts elementary school children for field trips to the center to learn about watershed preservation.
The online voting campaign ends Thursday. One vote per person, per device per day, is allowed at cbs8.com/ecoambassadors or facebook.com/Earth8SanDiego.
Other finalists include: Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation; Bayside Community Center; City Heights Community Development Corp.; Groundwork San Diego Chollas Creek; Outdoor Outreach; San Diego Archaeological Center; and The Tree Frog Project.
The creek conservancy's education program is a partnership with the Olivenhain Municipal Water District, which manages the Elfin Forest center, said Jeff Swenerton, vice president of conservancy board. The conservancy raised $500,000 for the building, which opened five years ago west of Escondido.
"The mission of (the conservancy) is to preserve the creek," Swenerton said in an interview. "If we're going to preserve the creek, we have to do it through education programs. … We probably had 1,000 kids go through school education programs this year."
Children visit from schools across North County, including Escondido, Encinitas and Poway, he said. They learn about litter and the effect on the watershed of sending pollution downstream.
"I like to think the water quality has improved since the education visits (started)," Swenerton said.
Funding from SDG&E, the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy and the San Diego Zoo helps provide transportation for the field trips for low-income schools.

Summer has lived with Aunt May and Uncle Ob since she was six years old. Now, six years later, Aunt May has died. Summer, who misses May with all her might, is afraid something will happen to Ob. Most days, Ob seems like he doesn't want to go on.
But then Ob feels May's spirit around him, and he wants to contact her. Cletus Underwood, a strange boy from school, reads about someone who could help him do that. Summer wants to hear from May, too.
Ob and Summer don't know what to expect when they set off on their search for some sign from May. They only know they need something to ease their sorrow and give them strength to go on living, always knowing they will never stop missing May.

Earth, air, fire, and water—the four basic elements of our physical universe. We'll bypass the periodic table of the elements here, since Old Gold couldn't grasp its meaning in junior high science class. Talk about the basic four, though, and he is in his scientific comfort zone. The fact that The University of Iowa is home of the renowned Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research makes that zone even more meaningful.
IIHR, one of the world's foremost research centers on water and fluid mechanics, is a testament to the foresight of Floyd Nagler. The Michigan native and graduate of Michigan State College and the University of Michigan joined the UI College of Engineering faculty in 1920 as a professor of mechanics and hydraulics.
In his 13-year tenure he established a research center occupying the stately five-story structure that hugs the western bank of the Iowa River below the Burlington Street Bridge. The building, completed in 1927 and restored in recent years, is a familiar and historically significant landmark on Riverside Drive.
Since its inception, the institute—today officially known as IIHR-Hydroscience & Engineering—has collaborated with federal agencies including the Department of Agriculture, the Army Corps of Engineers, the Weather Bureau (now National Weather Service), and the U.S. Geological Survey. Areas of research at the institute have included ship hydrodynamics, hydrometeorology (the science of moisture in the sky), river diversion and control, and factors specific to settings most anywhere in the world.
Consider a 1990s proposal to build a causeway at Nome, Alaska, a coastal community facing the Bering Sea. A model of the causeway created at IIHR predicted the likelihood of ice floe blockage during the winter.
More recently, IIHR researchers have received National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA grants totaling nearly $1.5 million. They include an NSF grant to Witold Krajewski, director of the Iowa Flood Center, which is helping researchers develop better ways to predict the course of floods, and a NASA grant to Thanos Papanicolaou and colleagues who are exploring the impact of intensified corn production on soil erosion.
To learn more about the fascinating history of this unique research center, check out Cornelia Mutel's thorough and informative book Flowing Through Time: A History of the Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research (Iowa City: Iowa Institute of Hydraulic Research, 1998).

The Japanese government will soon reach formal agreement to settle a massive class-action lawsuit involving people who contracted hepatitis B through childhood vaccination, expected to cost up to 3.2 trillion yen ($39 billion) in damages to compensate hundreds of thousands of victims.
The long-fought lawsuit, originally started in 1989, is a legacy of the time when needles and syringes were routinely reused to inoculate a number of children to save costs, a practice that persisted in Japan until 1988. Victims' groups estimate nearly half of the nation's 1.3 million hepatitis B patients and carriers had contracted the virus this way. The government's damages estimate is based on projections that a total of 33,000 patients and 400,000 carriers will seek compensation over the next 30 years.
The breakthrough in the case came when a national umbrella association of plaintiffs accepted on Saturday the terms of a settlement recommended by a district court in Hokkaido, one of the 10 locations where the case is being fought across the nation. The court recommended on Jan. 11 more generous payments to victims than those proposed by the government: 36 million yen ($440,000) for those with liver cancer or serious cases of cirrhosis. Furthermore, carriers with no symptoms will receive 500,000 yen, plus the costs of biannual checkups.
The plaintiffs had hoped their case would reach a successful settlement under the government of Prime Minister Naoto Kan, who had earned fame while serving as health minister in the mid-1990s for holding public-health officials responsible in a case involving HIV-tainted blood products that made many Japanese sick. In a speech delivered at the opening of a parliament session Monday, Mr. Kan pledged "sincere effort" to respond to the latest court settlement. The government announced its intention to settle the case after the Jan. 11 court recommendation.

KENDRA WILKINSON ix-nays minor league hubby's family expansion plans, say sources.
Kendra is in a furious tug-of-war with her football-playing husband Hank Baskett – and the future of their family is at stake.
The former NFL player, who once earned $800,000 a year, is pushing for a second child, but the 26-year-old "Playboy" beauty insists Hank is not making enough as a minor-leaguer and needs a better paying job before expanding the family, say sources.
Two years after appearing in the Super Bowl with the Indianapolis Colts, the 29-year-old wide receiver has dropped down to the United Football League, and is currently a free agent.
"With the UFL, Hank makes about $40,000 for the eight-game season," a friend told The ENQUIRER. "That's chump change compared to what he was getting in the NFL. Kendra sniffs and says, 'I can make that just showing up in Las Vegas for an event.'
"She says as long as she's the breadwinner, taking time off for a pregnancy is not an option."
In sharp contrast to her husband, the 26-year-old stunner keeps scoring big with her career. She rocketed to fame in 2005 on the E! reality show "The Girls Next Door," which focused on her life with then-beau Hugh Hefner at the Playboy Mansion. Her spinoff series "Kendra" has become an even bigger hit in its three seasons on the air.
The blonde bombshell also competed on "Dancing with the Stars" this past season, has appeared in movies and TV shows, and is set to release her second book.
Meanwhile, Hank is desperately hoping to land a spot on an NFL team later this year.
"It's emasculating that Kendra can lord it over Hank with what she makes when he gets paid much less than her," said the friend.
Still, Hank is pressing for a second child, revealed the friend, "but Kendra is putting up roadblocks."

I was looking for a neutral daytime eye shadow duo and decided to try Tempting Taupe. I always apply an eye shadow primer before applying eye shadow. This duo is very soft, not much pigment and looked bland on my eyes. The light shade has a slight pink undertone and not pigmented. The darker color is taupe and also lacks pigment. Overall I was disappointed in this duo and would not repurchase.

The highlighter color in this duo is a shimmery peachy pink which I do not wear often as it doesn't work well with my pale skin tone. The darker color in the pan is a fairly nondescript matte dark taupe grey, nothing really special or attractive about it. When applied dry it does have a lot of pigment but the color is just ordinary. However, when worn with a liquid eyeshadow converter, this turns into a wearable neutral brown with just enough pigment to give definition but still look professional.
This is a great basic duo but hundreds of other cosmetics lines have this shade for far cheaper than Arden. I am torn between buying this or finding another brand with the same color. I like to wear bright eyeliner shades sometimes but sometimes a neutral eye is needed (for my work for example). This isn't a 'wow' duo but it is good for daily use. As always, the quality of the shadows is pretty good and they blend really well.

Sydney - Australia have ended lengthy New Zealand winning streaks twice in the last four years and this weekend it is again the Wallabies who stand in the path of what would be the longest the top tier of the game has ever seen.
The All Blacks go into Saturday's Rugby Championship opener at Sydney's Olympic Stadium (kickoff 1005 GMT) as unquestionably the world's best team with 17 consecutive test victories behind them.
An 18th straight triumph to kickstart what New Zealand hopes will be a third successive southern hemisphere title would allow them to surpass the feat achieved by the 1965-69 All Blacks and South Africa side of 1997-98 and claim the record outright.
The All Blacks were on a run of 15 wins when the Wallabies beat them in Hong Kong in 2010, though, and had managed 16 in a row when the injury-ravaged Australians, 7-1 outsiders in a two-horse race, earned an 18-18 draw in Brisbane in 2012.
However, as any modern sportsman will tell you, records are achievements to be admired after retirement and both New Zealand and Australia are resolutely focused on the 80 minutes immediately ahead of them.
Such is New Zealand's grip on the international game, Australia would welcome any victory, whatever its implications, over their trans-Tasman rivals.
It has been 12 years since the Australians last held the Bledisloe Cup the countries compete for over the two Rugby Championship tests - the second is in Auckland next week - and a third match later in the year.
Ewen McKenzie, who lost three times to the All Blacks in his maiden season as coach last year, sprung a major surprise by naming Kurtley Beale as his flyhalf in a gamble his opposite number Steve Hansen described as dumbfounding.
Hansen expects the Wallabies to try and run the All Blacks off the park but indicated by putting Ben Smith at fullback in place of Israel Dagg that the ability to run the ball rather than put boot to leather is just as important to his gameplan.
The Wallabies have built a seven-match winning streak of their own and will have been boosted by a superb season for Australian teams in Super Rugby, which ended with the New South Wales Waratahs claiming the title.
As always in modern rugby, the breakdown will be crucial to deciding who wins the match, while the strength of the replacements benches will be key if the score is close in the last quarter.
Australian fans will be counting the minutes until hulking young lock Will Skelton comes on, but it could be Waratahs' flyhalf Bernard Foley, omitted for Beale despite his superior place-kicking, who has the final say.
Australia: 15-Israel Folau, 14-Pat McCabe, 13-Adam Ashley-Cooper, 12-Matt Toomua, 11-Rob Horne, 10-Kurtley Beale, 9-Nic White, 8-Wycliff Palu, 7-Michael Hooper (captain), 6-Scott Fardy, 5-Rob Simmons, 4-Sam Carter, 3-Sekope Kepu, 2-Nathan Charles, 1-James Slipper
Replacements: 16-James Hanson, 17-Pek Cowan, 18-Ben Alexander, 19-Will Skelton, 20-Scott Higginbotham, 21-Nick Phipps, 22-Bernard Foley, 23-Tevita Kuridrani.
New Zealand: 15-Ben Smith, 14-Cory Jane, 13-Conrad Smith, 12-Ma'a Nonu, 11-Julian Savea, 10-Aaron Cruden, 9-Aaron Smith, 8-Kieran Read, 7-Richie McCaw (captain), 6-Jerome Kaino, 5-Samuel Whitelock, 4-Brodie Retallick, 3-Owen Franks, 2-Dane Coles, 1-Wyatt Crockett
Replacements: 16-Keven Mealamu, 17-Ben Franks, 18-Joe Moody, 19-Steven Luatua, 20-Sam Cane, 21-TJ Perenara, 22-Beauden Barrett, 23-Malakai Fekitoa.

Jolly will introduce flood insurance legislation for commercial properties, second homes
Newly elected U.S. Rep. David Jolly said on Wednescday that he plans to introduce legislation to reduce skyrocketing flood insurance rates for commercial properties and second homes.
Jolly, a Republican, defeated Democratic candidate Alex Sink March 11 in the special election to succeed longtime Republican U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young.
Changes in federal flood insurance rates, which threatened to double or quadruple some individual homeowners' premiums, became a big issue in the race.
Last week President Obama signed a law passed by Congress which undid the changes it passed in 2012. The new law: reverses a provision that said government-subsidized rates would disappear when a person sells a primary home; provides a refund for those who already got hit under that provision; and maintains protections that were scheduled to sunset for "grandfathered" properties built to code after a community adopted its first Flood Insurance Rate Map.
But Jolly says the flood insurance changes still have the potential to do a lot of damage to families and businesses in Pinellas County, which is the reason behind his legislation.
He said the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce has contacted him with concern about the effect on commercial properties. Also, he said the higher rates shouldn't apply to people who have second homes for their own purposes, which he called "owner-occupied second homes." He said the exemption he is pushing would not apply to investment properties, such as a beach house that someone rents out to tenants.
Asked if these additional changes would be an uphill battle in a Congress that wants to reduce spending on large-scale government programs, he said yes. But the successful fight to stop increases for individual homeowners was as well. Without these changes, he said he anticpated "the same crippling of the commercial real estate market" that occurred with the residential market.
Jolly also said he had met recently with FEMA Director Craig Fugate, a former state emergency management director in Florida, to discuss flood insurance issues.

TALLAHASSEE — Legislative leaders are swiftly carrying out one of their priorities by bringing back once-reviled "leadership funds," unlimited soft-money accounts under direct control of a few influential lawmakers.
Reform-minded legislators outlawed the funds in 1989 amid a growing perception of "pay to play" politics. Special interests donated vast sums to powerful lawmakers (Democrats at that time) right before or during the legislative session, and lawmakers unopposed at election time would funnel their unspent campaign money into a leadership fund, only to be handed choice committee chairmanships.
In reality, the leadership funds never really disappeared. They functioned underground as part of the two political parties' vast fundraising apparatus, with big-money donors being asked to write checks to "House Victory" or "Senate Victory" funds. But the cash was homogenized into the parties' bottom lines.
Now, Republican lawmakers are packaging the re-creation of the funds as an act of "transparency" intended to reinforce the "who gave it, who got it" principle of Florida's campaign finance laws. A secondary motive for the funds' resurgence was revelations of lavish spending by Republican Party ex-chairman Jim Greer.
"The public will be well served if we bring back transparency to the process," said Sen. J.D. Alexander, R-Lake Wales, chairman of the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee. "Under the current system, there's no way to see how much money they have raised or see from which interests they have raised that money."
SB 880 cruised through the committee on an 8-3 party-line vote Tuesday. With the outcome preordained, Democrats did not bother even debating against the bill.
Democrats called the "transparency" argument a cynical ploy by Republicans that will actually result in less transparency than currently exists. The leadership funds, which would called Affiliated Party Committees or APCs, would report donations and expenditures quarterly, the same as political parties, and would not required to have Web sites and report transactions within 10 days, as other lawmaker-controlled committees must.
The four lawmakers who will control the funds are the incoming Senate president and House speaker and the Democratic or minority leaders of the two chambers.
Voting against the bill were Democratic Sens. Charlie Justice of St. Petersburg, Arthenia Joyner of Tampa and Nan Rich of Weston, the incoming Senate Democratic leader, who said: "This bill opens the floodgates to special interest money and the influence it buys."
The House version of the bill, HB 1207 by Rep. Seth McKeel, R-Lakeland, will be considered today by the Economic Development and Community Affairs Policy Council.

hi point. 45apc
Founf a hi point 45 cheap. Polyner frame. I was wobdering if anyone has had any orovlems with these guns
Hi Point is making Armored Personel Carriers now?
Who'da thought? j/k
Not the most sterling reputation in the firearms business...but my goodness they make AWESOME paperweights!
I worked at a gun shop for a few years and we sold hi-points there... We probably sold 500 of those things and we only had one customer report problems (that I know of) but if your looking for a cheap gun that u can go do some plinking around with that should work
Seems most all the bad reports I've read are by those that do not own them & base their comments on what they've heard & on their cheap price. Any feed issues that I've heard about have been promptly taken care of by the manufacturer & they pay the freight both ways.
All my purchases, since I became licensed to carry, have been for pistols I wanted to add to my carry rotation, otherwise I would own one. I do intend to have one if I can find a used one at a cheap price. Since their warranty stays with the gun, doesn't make much sense to buy a new one.
The HP .45 is a great inexpensive gun. Mine ran flawlessly. The only reason it's gone is someone offered me enough to part with it. I'd buy another if it comes along at the right price.
I went ahead and ordered one for $150. after seeinng a bunch of you tube videos seems like bottom line gun but for the price i ll try it. Problems posted were feeding which was corrected by new mag or 1911 mag spring. Its no replacement for my 1911 caspian but its gun that seems to take abuse well
I know a few people that have bought them they ain't pretty but the ones I've shot have ran fine never really had any problems look up the torcher test it's crazy.
If you are trying to impress your new girl friend they might not be the gun to show but if you want an inexpensive ( I did not say cheap ) 45 that will do the job they are great.
Heavy, ugly but reliable.
I have the hp 9mm it was the first gun I bought myself, saw it a gunshow cheap and i wanted a 9 and didnt have much money. I turned out after I built a pretty good collection it is one of my most accurate and I've never had a problem. I even took it to my cc class and I the intructor said i would probably have a problem passing with that gun and I shot the best grouping in the class. 48/48 all center mass. My wife and daughters like shooting it better than any of my others because it is heavy so the recoil is minimat but they have trouble pulling the slide because it is a little tough. But for the money it is hard to beat.

The buy-out proposal, announced on Monday, has triggered a sharp sell-off of Retail Food's shares and is likely to force analysts to reappraise assessments of the consumer group.
The shares were down again yesterday by 6.8 per cent to $2.45.
Observers were dumbfounded by Monday's $94.7 million approach as the two companies support entirely different business models.
One analyst of the fast food retailer, who preferred to remain anonymous, said the unexpected pitch for Oaks "has changed the investment parameters around which you invest in [the firm] regardless of whether the bid is successful or not".
He said the slide in Retail Food's share price stemmed from the lack of clarity around the fresh buy-out bid.
"Investors are not getting any information on what drove this decision," he said. "There are no conference calls, no road shows. It's just here's the deal: like it or lump it."
He confirmed he would be altering his guidance on the listed retailer as the management had demonstrated its acquisitions were no longer focused on "core business".
The new approach for Oaks has also provoked disbelief from the hotelier's largest shareholder, Minor International.
The Thai conglomerate won a bidding war for a 34.4 per cent parcel of shares last week, bolstering its stake in the group to 54.3 per cent.
But the purchase is contingent on regulatory approval from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
Oaks' directors have urged shareholders to ditch Minor's bid in preference for Retail Food's proposal, which is 5 per cent more generous than the Thai group's offer.
Yet this instruction comes from a minority of board members as the company has insisted that two of its directors, John Cowley and Colin Archer, have been excluded from all merger negotiations due to their positions on Retail Foods' board.
Another Oaks director, Brett Pointon, the hotelier's founder, who was ejected as chief executive recently, has been frozen out of the discussions, while the final board member, David Wu, has disappeared after cashing in his 5 per cent stake in the company to Minor for about $10 million a few months ago.
Dillip Rajakarier, the chief operating officer of the Thai conglomerate, questioned the transparency of Oaks' board. He insisted Minor had sent letters outlining its intentions to all of Oaks' directors, and argued that Mr Cowley and Mr Archer should have stated their potential conflicts of interest "far earlier in the game".
A decision from ASIC on the Minor share purchase is expected later this week.

Shopping consciously is a lot easier when there are toy companies out there dedicated to manufacturing products in the U.S. While made-in-the-U.S. toys may not have been one the biggest trends at Toy Fair this year, we still wanted to round up some of the fantastic products we saw, that you all should keep an eye out for this year!
COMMENTARY: These Toys Are Full of All-American Goodness
Q&A with John Gessert, President, American Plastic Toys
The Toy Book (TTB): Which toy categories do you expect to expand in 2015? Which do you expect to contract?
John Gessert (JG): We are starting to see more interest at the consumer level in toys that promote or support basic play patterns. We have received notes from consumers that complement our products not only for being made in the U.S., but also for providing a basis for good basic role playing that results in active play that promotes imagination. Another role-play area that seems to be increasing from initial line reviews for fall is in doll-related play. It appears that demand for doll accessories has increased for 2015.

Roughly 348 companies exhibited their latest product lines, including Alexander Doll Company, American Plastic Toys, Famosa, Hape, Inc., Melissa and Doug, Playmobil, Ohio Art, Blip Toys, Safari Ltd., and Razor USA. In sponsorship with Techno Source and presented by Carlin West Agency/NFL Rush Zone, the opening night party for the event raised funds for the Toy Industry Foundation and allowed participants to meet with Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware.

Which ACL Headliners Will Play Houston?
Who knew the Eagles shot their publicity stills for The Long Road Out of Eden at ACL 2005?
When the Austin City Limits festival lineup is released every spring, one of Rocks Off's favorite parlor games besides wondering what sort of Biblical weather-related calamity God will visit on Zilker Park (this year: Locusts!) is speculating which of the festival's major acts will book dates in Houston on their way to or from Austin. We know at least a few of them will; we just don't know who.
Most artists, ACL or not, have only just now begun to make their fall touring plans, and according to Pollstar, all of Houston's major venues are available. That doesn't necessarily mean they are, of course, but Rocks Off does love to play armchair promoter.
We thought we'd rate the chances of a pre- or post-ACL Houston show for the first 20 artists on the festival roster released overnight Monday. For the record, we have no inside information whatsoever - this is all speculation and intuition on our part. That's what makes it fun.
The Eagles Last here: December 2008, Toyota Center Rocks Off says: As one of the very few ACL performers this year that actually gets radio play in Houston (do they ever), the Eagles could play here whenever they want. Rocks Off has a feeling Don Henley and "friends" want to play up their ACL-closing appearance as an event, though, so a better time to look for them might be at the end of next month - the band just added a date June 26 at Dallas' American Airlines Center.

Muse Last here: March 2010, Toyota Center Rocks Off says: By ACL, Muse will have been on the road for a solid year, first opening for U2 and then headlining arenas behind U.S. breakthrough The Resistance. Muse released the final dates of its tour this morning, and heads back to Ohio right after the festival.
Phish Last here: 1998, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion
Rocks Off says: It's been longer than a Trey Anastasio guitar solo since Phish has been here, but the jamlords' ACL date smells like a one-off to us. At least we think that's what we smell.
The Strokes Last here: March 15, 2006, Verizon Wireless Theater Rocks Off says: Pencil these guys in - there's even a Betty White/SNL-style Web page begging Julian and his towheaded friends to play here. Could have their choice of fellow ACL acts as support, too - most likely LCD Soundsystem, the National and/or Houston virgins Vampire Weekend.
M.I.A. Last here: November 2007, Club V at Verizon Wireless Theater Rocks Off says: M.I.A.'s Club V show was lights-out if lightly attended, but after "Paper Planes" went Top 40 and all the hullabaloo over her new "Born Free" video, that shouldn't be a problem this time. Forecast: Headlining Warehouse Live.
Flaming Lips Last here: 2002, Jones Hall (with Beck) Rocks Off says: Summerfest, anyone?
LCD Soundsystem Last here: 2005, Meridian Rocks Off says: We're thinking it's high time James Murphy broke his five-year Bayou City drought. A Verizon tripleheader with the Strokes and Vampire Weekend would be perfect.
Spoon Last here: April 22, 2009, Warehouse Live Rocks Off says: Yes. Whether or not it's around ACL, we should be seeing Spoon soon.
Vampire Weekend Last here: Never Rocks Off says: See the Strokes.Next Page

text: Well, it was posted last year...so perhaps it could still win last year's thread of the year award. Prep is such a thing that those who are Prep are loathe to see it being commercialized. The faux nature of the glossy families and young men and women all wearing a brand of clothes, made in Bangladesh by folks who would appreciate a basic state education and clean water for their children, and hocked off to members of the aspiractional classes (and unsuspecting preps) is quite odd. Perhaps it was always thus, and we never knew. But In This Small World In Which We Live and the Search Engine Age, people Now Know These Things. They've taking something special away, and mis-appropriated it for the benefit of some fashion label owned by a private equity company (which in turn is probably run and staffed by a bunch of my old friends from prep school). Trail of Prep Tears.

To attend the stage in Informatics, I realized that many equipment customers took to repair were forwarded to other companies for a diagnostic laboratory or even to repair. What causes an increase of 50 to 60% of the repair cost value.
What is an "assault" the portfolio of anyone!
Not to mention the "normal" values the hour that the technical lead and sometimes lead people to prefer to buy new than repair at a price quite lower.
And with this preference equipment almost become "Disposable" not showing everything they have to give.
An update, or operating system formatting becomes a huge bill. After all those who prefer to "x" for a "Repair" when by "x" + a little purchase new equipment.
The store would be computer repair computers, POS and Smartphones, as well as whole and which hardware at low cost, truly low cost values.
Amounts less than 50% of the usual sites.
You need to format your computer? Add more RAM? Hard disk with a higher capacity?
Broke the screen of your notebook? Aims to improve the Graphic? Install Anti-virus? Forgot the keywords required to enter your Windows, Mac, or mobile phone? Has Solution!
As our store is different from existing in the current market?
All repairs will be made in our store, so there is the additional cost of having to send your equipment to the diagnostic laboratory, everything will be done in our store what makes the repair price is significantly cheaper.
We will also create assistance contracts with many companies and existing plants. Technical assistance hardware and software, made-to-face level or through remote assistance.
We can also purchase your old equipment and so and updates after selling this equipment to price much, much smaller and so people do not have much money available will be able to have equipment at low cost.
Of course we sell new and pre-owned.
By doing the equipment repair (when necessary) If the customer's will may still opt for extreme repair Low Cost, ie the parts when necessary (and always at the customer's choice) would be parts in good condition but used.
Of course, all customers who so desire may spread to the store and see their equipment to be repaired in time and get a new experience.
To clarify that all repair and equipment will guarantee shop and a repair guarantee within 72 hours.
Benavente, it's just 30m from Lisbon, lack of a "store" so … Low Cost…
The whole country needs a FIX UP – Low Cost!
