During a press conference Monday, President Obama said that he would pursue executive steps that he can take without the need of Congressional approval to fix immigration reform. Obama said House Republicans' refusal to pass immigration reform has led him to adopt changes unilaterally, without further delay.
Obama said that he didn't want to use administration relief because he preferred to see "permanent fixes" through bipartisan legislation, but criticized House Republicans for failing to "pass a darn bill." He has ordered Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to conduct the review.
"If House Republicans are really too concerned about me taking too many executive actions, the best solution to that is passing bills," he explained. "Pass a bill. Solve a problem. Don't just say no."
"I'm beginning a new effort to fix as much as I can on my own," he said. "As a first step, I'm moving available resources to the border. We're going to refocus our efforts when we can. … I will see what additional actions that my administration can do on our own to fix as much of the immigration system as we can."
Obama also addressed the unaccompanied child crisis, calling on Congress to authorize a $2 billion emergency fund to stem the influx, such as stepping up deportation efforts and sending more immigration judges to South Texas.
"The problem is that our system is so unclear that folks don't know what the rules are," he added. The Republican "argument seems to be that because the system is broken, we shouldn't make the effort to fix it.
Obama announced that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) told him last week that the House would not move on immigration reform this year, according to the Associated Press. Obama previously ordered a delay for the DHS Secretary Johnson to release a review of the administration's deportation policies. Obama had hoped that Congress would approve an overhaul on immigration reform, which would provide a permanent pathway to citizenship that would outlast his presidency in a way that an executive action would not.
House Democrats announced last week that they would put pressure on the President to halt deportations and distributed a manual to Congressional members that guides them to intervene with deportation proceedings. Activists have also turned up pressure on Obama, whom they have labeled as the Deporter-In-Chief, to expand his presidential initiative known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which establishes temporary legal presence and a two-year deportation reprieve, to all immigrants who have not committed serious offenses and are not national security risks.
A reporter shouted out at the end of the press conference if the President would expand the DACA program, but the President did not respond.
By some accounts the Obama administration has already authorized more than two million deportations by April.

52-Week Money Challenge
Could you use an extra $1300 in 2014? I thought you could! Join me in taking the 52-Week Money Challenge. My dad sent this challenge to me in December so as a family we could all save some much needed money. I made a printable worksheet for you all who want to take this challenge with me.
There are two ways to approach this money challenge. You can choose to do the sequential approach or the reverse sequential. Here's the break down:
Sequential | You save the amount of money for each week of the year. So basically on week one, this week, you save a $1, on week two you save $2, on week three you save $3 and so on and so forth. By the end of the year on week fifty-two you will save $52 and have a total savings of $1,378. Awesomesauce!
Reverse Sequential | If you deem it harder to save larger sums of money during the holiday season you can try this method of going backwards. On week one you will save $52, on week two you will save $51, on week three you will save $50. Your weekly savings amounts are being reduced as the year draws on instead of increasing like the first method.
Depending on your financial situation, either method is a sure way of squirreling away some cash. If you have a hard time saving, you might want to consider the sequential method. It allows you to get use to the fact of saving a small amount of money so when you get to the larger amounts you would have become use the concept and able to follow through.
So who's with me? It doesn't matter if you are saving just to increase your bank account or for a much needed vaca, as long as you are saving my friends. Feel free it grab a printable. See ya soon and save on!

Police commissioner accused of implying domestic abuse is women's issue
Devon and Cornwall's police commissioner has been accused of implying domestic violence is mainly a women's issue.
At a conference on domestic abuse in Cornwall on Wednesday, Tony Hogg reportedly said: "At an event like this, it's bound to be mostly ladies".
Councillor Hanna Toms said it resulted in groans and some people walking out.
Mr Hogg said dealing with domestic violence was "very high on my agenda".
'Groan of disbelief'
Police and crime commissioner Mr Hogg was the last speaker at the conference at the Headlands Hotel in Newquay.
Falmouth Penwerris Cornwall Councillor Hanna Toms tweeted that Mr Hogg offended "half the room in his opening sentence", resulting in "people leaving fast".
Speaking to BBC Cornwall, she said: "He started with, 'Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen although, at an event like this, it's bound to be mostly ladies.'
"There was a groan of disbelief at our table and this rattled across the room. It hit the wrong note for so many people there."
She said several people - including herself - walked out, adding: "People may have been leaving anyway. It may have been a genuine mistake. But he's elected and should know these things, and that it does not just affect women.
"Men are also victims; children, and people in same sex relationships too."
Mr Hogg said he was "well aware of the issues that domestic abuse and sexual violence causes to all members of society" and he had been "pleased to be invited to close this event".
He added: "I am concerned that anyone in the audience could misconstrue my comments, but I know this is an incredibly sensitive area and it disappoints me that someone should leave the event feeling that way.
"The effects of domestic abuse are very high on my agenda and my office works very closely with partners to make sure that we commission the very best services for victims - be they male or female, adult or child - and to hold the police to account for how they deal with such crimes."
He invited Ms Toms to meet him to discuss the issue. She said she would accept the invitation.
Clarification: This story has been amended to correctly reflect Tony Hogg's response to the accusations.

The aftermarket specialists at Regula Tuning have recently pulled the wraps off their latest creation, a so-called "grandiose" body kit for the Audi R8.
The Audi R8 is probably one of the most tuned supercars out there, together with its "sister" the Lamborghini Gallardo, and the latest example is coming from the guys at Regula Tuning, who are offering probably one of the strangest body kits out there which, compared to other upgrades available for the German vehicle, comes at just 7,698 euros.
"Due to the TÜV-certified quality management system, all REGULA-Tuning mounting parts have the TÜV-technical report and can therefore easily be registered with each examiner. The body kit costs 7,698 euros and is available for the presented here V10 version, as well as for the models V8 Spyder (from May 2010) and Coupé", as the tuner is saying in its official press release.
According to the tuning company, the Audi R8's body kit has been made out of aramid (aromatic polyamide) fibers and it includes a new front bumper, a spoiler, a ventilated rear fascia, an integrated diffuser, mesh grille inserts and a fresh set of 20-inch Oxigin wheels, 8.5 inches wide at the front and 11 inches wide at the rear. A Performance modification is also available for the model, which is allowing the V10 engine to produce 560 HP (412 kW) for 1,398 euros.

ABC News' Michael Falcone reports:
So much for the party. Organizers of the planned Tea Party Nation Convention, which had already been postponed once, announced this week that the gathering was being scrapped entirely.
The reason? Slow ticket sales, according to Judson Phillips, one of the ring leaders of the event, which was to be held in Las Vegas next month. The cost of the convention, which ran as high as $399, was just too much for many of the movement's devotees.
"This decision simply came down to a matter of economics," Phillips, the founder of Tea Party Nation who is affiliated with the group FreeAmerica.org, told The Daily Caller. Phillips said the event fell victim to the "Obama economy."
The convention, which had been modeled after an event earlier this year in Nashville, was scheduled for Oct. 14 at the Palazzo Hotel. The Tea Party stars who were slated to make appearances included Andrew Brietbart, Lou Dobbs and Nevada Senate hopeful Sharron Angle.
But the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported earlier this week that many local grassroots conservative leaders did not mind that the Tea Party Nation Convention was nixed, especially after the controversy that plagued the Nashville event, which cost as much as $500 to attend.
"They were kind of opportunistic," Frank Ricotta, the former state director of a Nevada Tea Party group and a county-level GOP leader said in an interview with the Review-Journal's Laura Myers.
The convention's cancellation also raises larger questions about what's next for the Tea Party. As Phillips wrote in a recent e-mail message to supporters, many of the original Tea Party followers are concerned about what he called the "rise of Big Tea" -- the growth of national organizations like Tea Party Nation, Tea Party Express and Tea Party Patriots.
Phillips wrote: "For many of the grass roots activists who started this movement eighteen months ago, myself included, may look and ask the question, "Dude, where's my movement?" There is no question the movement has changed. The evolution of Big Tea is the logical result of where this movement must go."

Vintage Telephone Pillow from West Elm
Brrring, Brrring, It's For You!
"Hello, operator! Can ya give me number nine?!"
Anyone else love the convenience of their cell phone but secretly think it's really romantic to have had to sit at a designated telephone chair and then talk to the local switchboard operator about whom you needed to phone?
OK, yeah, so I guess speed-dialing and visual voice mail is pretty great too. I really wouldn't give it up, but I will be laying my head on this old school Telephone Pillow ($29) from West Elm. And making "BRRRING BRRING" noises and asking Alice to connect me to Mrs. Ada Stevenson in Murray Hill.

Over the past many weeks, RateMyDrawings has been working with a great legal team to ensure we are following all the necessary laws and policies required by us. These include general operation of our business, our website terms, copyright issues, and privacy concerns.
More will be posted on each of these topics, but I did want to touch on a very important topic first - Privacy, specifically for those under the age of 13.
I've been working very hard with our legal advisers on how to meet the necessary rules governed by COPPA - The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. Learn more about this here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%2 … ection_Act
Parental Consent will be required to be a member of RateMyDrawings
Without going into too much detail, what you need to know is that due to the information we collect (such as your email address), we are required by law to obtain parental consent to allow under 13's to register for our website. There will be various steps to obtaining parental consent which you will learn more about as we implement these new policies. Existing members will also be required to comply and obtain parental consent to continue their membership.
If you are a member who has an age under 13 in your account settings, it may be good to start speaking to your parents and let them know how much you love RateMyDrawings and that you may need them to help you soon with obtaining their permission to continue your membership on our community.
I have (and still am) very proud that RateMyDrawings has enabled so many young people to learn, embrace and enjoy their artistic skill on our community. I have very mixed feelings about these new rules, and have concerns that these rules will limit some children from the ability to join and enjoy our community, however we must ensure we are following all the necessary laws that were created to protect children and also ensure we are doing the right thing as a website operator.
More detailed information will be posted as these policies are implemented.
Many of you have noticed a message in your profile page talking more about these policies. We have begun implementing and allowing children under 13 to obtain their parents consent and send it to us.
Please direct your parents to this page where they can obtain this form and learn about how to send us their consent:
http://www.ratemydrawings.com/community … _coppa.php
Some common questions and answers:
Q. My parents won't sign and submit the consent form, what do I do?
A. Do your best to let your parents know how much you love our community and how important it is that you continue as a member. Make sure you send them to the consent form here http://www.ratemydrawings.com/community … _coppa.php so they can read more about why we are implementing this new policy. If they still do not wish to send the form in, you have a few options:
- If you have your parents permission, you can get your parents to edit your account, and enter their information so the account is theirs and not yours. You must however then be under their supervision while using our website and never submit any personal information of your own to our website.
- You can wait until you turn 13, then return and continue your membership. See below for more details on this.
Q. What happens if I do not submit parental consent?
A. At the end of this year, for those who are under-13 who have not sent us parental consent:
- Your account will be made inactive until we receive consent
- Your drawings will NOT be deleted, they will still be visible on the website
- Your email address and profile information will be deleted from our system
- You will not be able to log into your account your account except for the ability to do two things: (1) To change your age in case you have now turned 13 years old and (2) To submit parental consent so we can re-activate your account.
- It is VERY IMPORTANT you remember your account password, so you can access your account in the future. Since we will no longer have your email address, you will not be able to use our "forgot password" feature.
Q. Why are you doing this to under 13's? It is unfair!
A. We are required to do this by laws that were made to protect under 13's privacy. We have chosen to strictly adhere to these laws so we may continue operating our website safely for your protection and our protection as a website service provider.
Q. I sent in my consent form, how do I know it has been received and processed?
A. Go to Edit My Account, select Privacy from the left menu, then down the bottom of this page is a section called "Parental consent for childred under 13" that will let you know if your consent form has been processed and added to our system.
As the final step to our Under 13's policy, all accounts for Children under 13 who have not provided us with parental consent - your account will be made inactive on January 1, 2010.
Your drawings will remain on the website so that if you do re-activate your account in the future, your drawings will still be safe.
After this happens you will have the option to either:
- change your birthdate to indicate you are 13, which will activate your account
- provide us with parental consent so we can activate your account

Subclass of:
273 - Amusement devices: games
273348000 - Target
Patent class list (only not empty are listed)
Deeper subclasses:
|Class / Patent application number
|Number of patent applications / Date published
|EMERGENCY STOPPING SYSTEM FOR TRACK MOUNTED MOVABLE BULLET TARGETS AND TARGET TROLLEYS - An emergency stopping system for track mounted movable targets used divergent cables to stop a target trolley which has not been otherwise stopped before coming to the end of a track. As the trolley passes over the diverging cables, the cables are forced together, causing the trolley to dissipate kinetic energy.
|TARGET APPARATUS - A target apparatus including a portable case; a target; and a drive contained within the portable case, the drive having a drive shaft accessible through an access opening in a side of the portable case. When the target is connected to the drive shaft for rotation relative to the portable case, the portable case provides stable support to the target apparatus.
|Moving target system for defensive training - A moving target system for defensive training includes an elongated ground-based track defining a track axis, a trolley operable to move along the track, the trolley having a target support facility, a driver operable to move the trolley along the track, and the target facing in a direction angularly offset from perpendicular to the track axis. The target support facility may be operable to fall from a vertical position when the trolley reaches an end of the track. There may be an actuator operably connected to the driver to initiate movement of the trolley when actuated.
|Bag Wheel Game - A bag tossing game comprised of a selectively rotatable wheel target suspended on a frame and controllable by an adjustable brake. As the game is played, players take turns tossing projectiles at the wheel target. As the projectiles contact the wheel, kinetic energy from the tossed projectile is imparted onto the wheel based on the speed and trajectory of the projectile which may, in turn, cause the wheel to rotate. Further, a projectile that lands on the wheel may also alter the weight distribution of previously tossed projectiles still on the wheel, which may be located in various bins formed along the wheel's circumference, thereby causing the wheel to rotate in either direction. Depending on the wheel's direction of rotation, previously tossed projectiles may slide off of the wheel, or conversely, keep other projectiles 'in-play', where they will be scored accordingly.
|Remote control target base - A remotely controlled, motorized shooting practice platform is described that includes a chassis with a bottom wall having an upper surface, and a removable top wall with an upper surface; a plurality of wheels carried on fixed axles supporting the chassis; a plurality of DC powered motors operatively attached to the axles, whereby the wheels rotate when the motors are energized; a battery mounted on the bottom wall upper surface; a controller mounted on the bottom wall upper surface for controlling the amount of current from the battery to each of the motors; a receiver mounted on the bottom wall upper surface providing control signals to the controller; a transmitter remote from the chassis to transmit control signals to the receiver; target attachment means mounted upon the top wall upper surface of the chassis; and a target extending about the chassis and attached to the chassis with the target attachment means.
|AMUSEMENT GAME WITH ROTATING TARGET - An amusement game with a rotating target displays different targets to players on opposing teams. Players on each team throw objects at the targets to score points. The rotating target includes sensors that sense if the object hits the target.
|TARGET POSITIONING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - The system includes a rotation disengagement mechanism configured to disengage a rotatable shaft from a powered drive unit such that upon disengagement the powered drive unit is no longer able to rotate the shaft. After disengagement, the rotatable shaft may reengage the powered drive unit at only one rotational position relative to the rotation disengagement mechanism. A target coupled to the shaft is thus always in a known home position. The systems and methods further comprise smart positioning logic that assigns a number designation to four rotational orientations spaced 90° from one another.
|SHOOTING RANGE TARGET ASSEMBLY - A shooting range target assembly and a method for moving and positioning the target in a controlled manner are disclosed. The assembly includes a conveyor line containing a carriage, a drive, a target assembly, a turning and positioning mechanism and a programmable logic for setting and controlling the movement of the carriage. Controlling the movement, positioning of the target and maintaining target position are accomplished by properly balancing a torque force applied onto a pulley wheel, a drag force applied by a detent assembly and a force applied by a brake. The assembly is configured for moving the target along the conveyor and turning it such that the front side, the back side or an edge faces the shooter.
|EMERGENCY STOPPING SYSTEM FOR TARGET TROLLEYS - An emergency stopping system for track mounted movable targets used divergent cables to stop a target trolley which has not been otherwise stopped before coming to the end of a track. As the trolley passes over the diverging cables, the cables are forced together, causing the trolley to dissipate kinetic energy.
|LAUNCH AND TARGET GAME - An apparatus for playing a game is provided. The apparatus may include a base, a plurality of projectiles and a first target platform moveable with respect to the base. The first target platform may include a collecting position, in which the plurality of projectiles are collected at the first target platform, and a dispersing position, in which the plurality of projectiles are dispersed from the first target platform. The apparatus may further include an actuator mechanism configured to actuate movement of the first target platform from the collecting position to the dispersing position and a first launcher attached to the base and configured to project the plurality of projectiles toward the first target platform.
|Shooting Target Management Systems and Related Methods - A shooting target management system and related methods are provided. The system includes at least one target dispensing device having a plurality of targets. A user control unit is in communication with the at least one target dispensing device and is positioned remotely therefrom. At least one switch is in communication with the user control unit, wherein at least one of the plurality of targets is dispensed from the at least one target dispensing device upon activation of the switch.

What will the government do with the Massey Tunnel?
The Massey Tunnel has been a feature of Richmond and Delta for over 50 years. And for most of that time, so has the congestion that can make the trip across the Fraser River take hours longer than it should.
While public consultations have been under way for months, none of the candidates in Richmond East will take a firm stand on what should happen to the tunnel.
Linda Reid, the Liberal candidate for Richmond East, said that traffic will always "be an evolving issue" for the island city but that she won't predict the outcome before more public consultations are held.
The Massey Tunnel has only 10-15 more years before major components will need to be replaced to keep the tunnel up and running safely. In an attempt to increase the efficiency of the tunnel, the BC Liberal government has proposed five options to replace the current tunnel.
The proposed options are:
- Maintaining the tunnel as is, with minor upgrades and no increase in capacity.
- Replacing the tunnel with a new, larger-capacity tunnel in the same location.
- Replacing the tunnel with a bridge in the same location.
- Keeping the existing tunnel and adding a new bridge or tunnel beside it.
- Keeping the existing tunnel and building a new bridge or tunnel from No. 8 Road in Richmond to the South Fraser Perimeter Road in Delta.
The first option would be the least expensive, something that could be key considering B.C.'s tight fiscal situation. Gian Sihota, the NDP candidate for Richmond East considers putting in a new tunnel and bridge "not very workable" due to the large amounts of agricultural land such a plan would use up.
Some residents in Richmond East fear that any new construction will displace more farmland, which could be devastating to the many farmers who make their home in the eastern part of the city. There's also concern over how any changes will affect the already crowded Steveston Highway interchange, something Nathaniel Lim, the Conservative candidate for Richmond East is troubled by.
"I think the options need to look at how to relieve congestion over at Steveston and No. 5," he says, "When I went to consultation, I did not hear much about that part."
Something that's not yet clear is how the Liberals plan to finance any new tunnel or bridge, as the replacement of the Massey Tunnel has not been factored into their recent budget. There is a possibility that the new crossing could be tolled, much like the Port Mann Bridge is now, but that could lead to the same issues that have been seen with that bridge: people making detours to other crossings in order to avoid the tolls.
Consultations about the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project have been going on since late last year and the second phase has just been completed. For more information, please visit http://engage.gov.bc.ca/masseytunnel/.

Had my 2.0 140 CR(Eng code CBAB) for 2 years now no issues with DPF so far
How can determine the engine version?
I know my car is the common rail spec from the year of the car also the engine code is printed a the sticker either on boot floor or the service book on the inside of the front cover 4 letters next to the number 3 on the left.
Issues depend on driving style and journey length I think every car will have issues if they don't have the correct conditions to regenerate properly.
Are you talking about the PD or CR version? The 140PD has no DPF.
I have no idea, I'm just looking at getting a new A3 as my 53 (8P) seems to developing every fault going lately. I was looking at a Mazda 3 Sport 2.2d but then I read about DPF issues and I thought I'd check to see if other engines suffer.
Is it a lottery whether it's PD or CR or is an age thing? I was looking for a post 58 plate, for the face lift.
Danny is right...the PD140 had no DPF unless it was specified on manufacture. The CR140 however have them fitted as standard I believe, but are not dogged with problems like the 170 version.
2008 was the swap year from the PD to the CR spec engines with the facelift cars from then onwards DPF's were fitted to all,on the PD spec only the 170 and DPF with have caused issues for some. I've yet to see my DPF light come on if it has one at all.
OK thanks for your help.

CLEVELAND -- Indians ace Justin Masterson will pitch again before the regular season is complete, but it won't be as a starter.
Manager Terry Francona said Tuesday that Masterson, who has been sidelined since Sept. 2 with a strained left oblique, will pitch out of the bullpen tonight or in the series opener at Minnesota on Thursday.
A return to the rotation is not an option for Masterson over Cleveland's final five games, but Francona said the right-hander could start again should the Indians qualify for the postseason and make it past the Division Series.
Regardless of the role, the Indians are happy to have Masterson in the fold at all. Normal recovery time for oblique strains is 4-6 weeks.
"What ended up possibly being a big negative for us, having Masty not around, all of a sudden has a chance to be a big weapon for us moving forward," Francona said. "He makes the point that he wasn't down that long, and it shows. He's worked really hard."
"I started feeling good about a week and a half (after the injury)," said Masterson (14-10, 3.52 ERA), who pitched a simulated game at Progressive Field after Sunday's game. "It was a real nice process. Hopefully we can help the team out in (the relief) role."
Masterson has experience pitching out of the bullpen, beginning his big league career as a reliever with Boston, before converting into a starter shortly upon joining the Indians.
Francona wasn't sure when he would use Masterson but said he would not have the pitcher enter during an inning.
"He's (relieved) before. He actually was really good at it," Francona said.
Masterson has missed being part of the playoff push, but he's remained optimistic.
"It's great 'cause we're winning ballgames," said Masterson, whose team entered the night with a one-game lead for the second wild-card spot. "Everyone else is picking it up. They don't need me. I'm just here to encourage and smile and give them hugs, and it seems like that's working right now."
Different approach?
With a playoff bid on the line, Francona was asked if he would manage differently over the remainder of the regular season.
"I think you go to the bullpen a little earlier because we have numbers and you try to take advantage of that," he said.
Fortune reversal
Ubaldo Jimenez got off to a disappointing start to the season, with many feeling the right-hander was on the verge of losing his spot in the rotation. But Francona stuck by him.
"I actually remember what I said, "I said we don't want to run away from our guys. We want to help them,"' Francona said. "That's how we feel. Every time someone struggles, you can't just release them or go get somebody else. That's not the mentality we want to have."
The approach more than paid off, with Jimenez becoming one of the majors' top starters since the All-Star break. He entered his 31st start Tuesday with a 12-9 record and 3.39 ERA, going 5-5 with a 1.77 ERA in 10 second-half outings.
"He's gotten himself to a point where we're trying to line up days so he can pitch," Francona said. "That's pretty impressive on his part."
Jimenez is scheduled to start the regular season finale Sunday at Minnesota, but with Masterson no longer an option, the Indians might choose to save Jimenez should they clinch a spot in the wild-card game next Wednesday.
Winning big
At 86-70 through Monday, the Indians had increased their win total by 18 from last season.
It currently accounts as the fourth-largest year-to-year win jump behind 24 (1985-86), 20 (1915-16) and 19 (1991-92, 1953-54, 1928-29).
Roundin' third
The Indians entered Tuesday night with a 15-6 record during the month of September. ... Cleveland entered Tuesday 63-24 when scoring first. ... The Indians' bullpen had posted a 1.35 ERA over the last 11 games through Monday. ... Tonight, 7:05, WTAM 1100-AM/WMMS 100.7-FM. Salazar (1-3, 3.09 ERA) vs. Axelrod (4-10, 5.72).
