Matt Calkins and Tom Krasovic break down the Chargers' 2013 schedule.
Week 1 Mon., Sept. 9: Houston; 7:20 p.m. ESPN
Tom Krasovic: They will return to the playoffs after offseason moves strengthen their receiving corps. Mission Bay High alum Arian Foster will run for two touchdowns at Jack Murphy Field in Houston's 18-17 victory. Blackout potential: Zero.
Matt Calkins: Houston was seventh in the NFL in both total offense and defense, and have an elite running back in Arian Foster. Not sure if the Texans will win 12 games again, but it will win when it comes to San Diego. Blackout potential: Zero.
Week 2 Sun., Sept. 15: at Philadelphia; 10 a.m. CBS
TK: Chip Kelly will find out that the Eagles aren't nearly as deep as his Oregon Ducks were. Corey Liuget and Kendall Reyes will combine for five sacks in San Diego's 33-25 victory booed by Eagles fans.
How does the 2013 Chargers schedule look to you?
They'll make the playoffs 35% (312)
They may break even 42% (381)
They'll do worse than last year 23% (204)
897 total votes.
MC: This is the one team that made the Chargers' offensive line look like Pro Bowlers last year. It all starts up front, and given Philly's profound weakness there, the Bolts will pick up a win.
Week 3 Sun., Sept. 22: at Tennessee; 10 a.m. CBS
TK: Jake Locker will show improvement but will struggle with his accuracy. Bernard Pollard will jar the ball from Eddie Royal, allowing the Titans to hold off the Chargers 24-23.
MC: Of the six teams Tennessee beat last year, none finished the season above .500. Chargers have more talent and should pick up a close win.
Week 4 Sun., Sept. 29: Dallas 1:25 p.m. FOX
TK: Tony Romo will laugh after receiving $29 million in bonus money. Derek Cox will lock up a 24-20 victory for the Chargers by picking off Romo's hitch pass meant for Dez Bryant, who ran a post. Blackout potential: low.
MC: Tony Romo won't need a $108 million performance to beat this year's Chargers. Dallas may tend to underachieve, but it will achieve a victory this year at Qualcomm. Blackout potential: Very low
Week 5 Sun., Oct. 6: at Oakland; 1:25 p.m. CBS
TK: The 2013 Raiders will be similar to the 2012 Raiders, who finished 4-12. Philip Rivers and a strong run defense will lead the Chargers to a 24-19 victory in San Diego.
MC: Oakland didn't make any serious upgrades to threaten .500 this year. The abhorrence for the Silver and Black mixed with home-field advantage will lead to a Chargers win.
Week 6 Mon., Oct. 14: Indianapolis; 5:40 p.m. ESPN
TK: The Horsheshoes will enjoy less good luck than they did last year. Andrew Luck will throw for 290 yards and two TDs, but Vincent Brown's two TD catches will rally the Chargers to a 31-24 victory over Tom Telesco's former team. Blackout potential: 50/50.
MC: The NFL story of the year was as inspiring as it was surprising, but it wasn't a fluke. Led by Andrew Luck, who will only get better, the rebuilt Colts will return to the playoffs and drop the Chargers along the way. Blackout potential: Low
Week 7 Sun., Oct. 20: at Jacksonville; 10 a.m. CBS
TK: They will have another stink-bomb season. Ryan Mathews will rush for 113 yards and say after the 37-17 victory that the Bolts were not complacent.
MC: As mighty as the Chargers' home opponents are, some of the road foes are mighty feeble. The Jags won just two games last season and will fall when San Diego comes to town.
Week 8: Bye
Week 9 Sun., Nov. 3: at Washington; 10 a.m. CBS
TK: Robert Griffin III will show that he is a fast healer. Two Chargers will suffer leg injuries in Washingonton's 22-20 victory and afterward blame it on the Redskins' beaten-up playing field.
MC: Healthy RG3 or not, the 'Skins proved they were capable at the other 21 positions when they slithered into the playoffs. Given the Bolts' road woes, Washington will come out with the victory.
Week 10 Sun., Nov. 10: Denver; 1:25 p.m. CBS
TK: Peyton Manning and John Elway will remain a winning combination in year two together. Ronnie Hillman will zig zag 33 yards, setting up Matt Prater's game-winning field goal in Denver's 27-24 victory. Blackout potential: low.
MC: Denver won't need any miracle second-half comeback to embarrass the Chargers in Qualcomm this year. Peyton Manning, who now has the system down pat, will lead his team to a big win. Blackout potential: Very Low
Week 11 Sun., Nov. 17: at Miami; 10 a.m. CBS
TK: They will win nine games behind a good defense and an improved offense. Clinching Miami's 24-20 victory, Ryan Tanehill will hit tight end Dustin Keller against a Chargers defense that sags in the humid heat.
MC: Miami was 27th in total offense last year and suffered a 34-point loss to the Titans. Chargers pick up a road victory here.
Week 12 Sun., Nov. 24: at Kansas City; 10 a.m. CBS
TK: They will win six games. The Chargers, flashing back to 2011, will muff a potential game-winning field goal in the 19-17 defeat at Arrowhead Stadium.
MC: It's always nice to have Kansas City in your division. Like last year, the Chargers will likely hit several bumps, but beating the Chiefs in Arrowhead will help round out their record.
Week 13 Sun., Dec. 1: Cincinnati; 1:25 p.m. CBS
TK: They will reach the playoffs for the third year in a row despite Andy Dalton's limited passing prowess. Two rookies drafted among the top 40 will contribute to Cincinnati's 21-17 victory. Blackout potential: 50/50.
MC: The Chargers blew another fourth-quarter lead to Cincinnati last year to watch their wildcard hopes fizzle away. And even though Andy Dalton and the Bengals shockingly surged into the postseason, home-field advantage will lift San Diego to an upset win. Blackout potential: 50/50.
Week 14 Sun., Dec. 8: N.Y. Giants; 1:25 p.m. FOX
TK: They will rebound from last year's dud of a season. Eli Manning, clicking with budding sophomore Rueben Randle, will outduel draft classmate Philip Rivers in New York's 27-22 victory. Blackout potential: 50-50.
MC: This team may have blown its chance to defend its Super Bowl title by slipping out of the playoffs. But Eli Manning and the Giants simply have too much firepower for the Bolts to handle and will come out on top.
Week 15 Thurs., Dec. 12: at Denver; 5:25 p.m. NFLN
TK: They will lead the NFL in fourth-quarter scoring and credit playing and training at high altitude. Wes Welker will catches eight passes in the 30-23 victory at Denver.
MC: This team was a botched play from knocking off the Super Bowl champs in the playoffs last year. Denver will dominate at home.
Week 16 Sun., Dec. 22: Oakland; 1:25 p.m. CBS
TK: They will tarp off 11,000 seats, resulting in the smallest seating capacity in the NFL. Philip Rivers will find Danario Alexander for two TDs against a weak Raiders secondary in San Diego's 27-13 victory. Blackout potential: low.
MC: Oakland fans can be intimidating – but not the Raiders themselves are not. Bolts win. Blackout potential: low.
Week 17 Sun., Dec. 29: Kansas City; 1:25 p.m. CBS
TK: They will be the AFC West's most-improved team after going 2-14 last year. Eric Weddle will intercept Alex Smith's downfield floater to secure San Diego's 21-20 victory. Blackout potential: high.
MC: This is the team that won half as many games as the Raiders last year – two. There won't be any easy wins for the Bolts next season, but this could be the closest thing. Blackout potential: high

LONDON — When the pope travels, the Vatican and the host government and local church prepare an incredibly detailed schedule. It's as if everything is scripted.
Even if Pope Benedict XVI does not appear to be as spontaneous as Pope John Paul II was, unscripted moments are always part of the program.
Today, the pope had lunch and a rest at the Vatican nunciature in London's Wimbledon neighborhood. Before the pope left to drive into town to meet the Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, television cameras outside the nunciature showed a woman coming out the front door with a child.
The woman, an Anglican, told reporters she was babysitting her granddaughter and just stopped by the nunciature to see what was going on. The police waved her in and she and the baby met the pope.
There could be serious envy further along the papal motorcade route. Right near Westminster Abbey, where the pope is expected in a few hours, there is a woman holding a colorful sign saying, "We love U papa more than beans on toast."
(In culinary terms, beans on toast is a VERY popular British comfort food.)

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...My wok has been sitting on the counter lately and never seems to get put away. This is one of the new recipes that have kept it busy. When I'm really busy, I tend to fall back on simple stir-fried meals that can be thrown together without sacrificing flavor to speed. There are many versions of Cashew Beef, and while this one is not an authentic Chinese dish, it certainly is easy to make and the finished concoction is really tempting. If your ingredients are set to go before you heat your wok, you'll have no problem with this recipe. I also suggest you have your rice cooked and ready to go before you start to cook the beef. Sitting improves neither the flavor nor the appearance of stir-fries and you want everything you plan to serve ready at the same time. The rice will keep. The stir-fry won't. If you are looking for a simple week night meal, I urge you to give this recipe a try. Here is how the dish is made.
Cashew Beef...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of The Learning Channel
1 beef top sirloin steak (about 1 pound)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1/2 cup water
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon Chinese chili sauce
8 green onions with tops, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 piece fresh ginger (about 1-inch square), peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup unsalted roasted cashews (about 3 ounces)
Fresh carrot slices and thyme leaves for garnish
1) Cut beef lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/8-inch slices.
2) Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. Add half of meat and stir-fry 3 to 5 minutes until browned. Remove from wok. Set aside. Repeat with 1 tablespoon oil and remaining meat.
3) Combine cornstarch, water, soy sauce, sesame oil, oyster sauce and chili sauce in small bowl; mix well.
4) Heat remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in wok or large skillet over high heat. Add green onions, bell pepper, ginger, garlic and cashews and stir-fry 1 minute. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to wok with meat. Cook and stir until sauce boils and thickens. Garnish, if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

PARIS - French designer Jean-Louis Scherrer, who dressed such fashion plates as Jackie Kennedy at the height of his career, has died. He was 78.
The French Couture Federation said the designer died early Thursday in Paris. The cause of death was not immediately known.
After training under Christian Dior, Scherrer launched his own label in 1962, holding his first show in a cellar. The house went on to become a symbol of uptown elegance in the 1980s.
But it went through hard times financially, and the house was sold. Scherrer, who had stayed on as artistic director, was dismissed in 1992. The fashion house closed in 2008.
Scherrer's funeral was set for Wednesday with a cremation at Paris' Pere Lachaise cemetery.

DES MOINES - Police said an Iowa boy accidentally shot his friend in the shoulder while they were playing with a handgun.
Des Moines police said both the boys are 13-years-old. The boy who was hurt, Alec Osborn, was conscious when officers arrived and was initially listed in fair condition.
The boys were at the home of another boy's family friend in south Des Moines Saturday. Police said the boy who shot Osborn didn't think the .22-caliber revolver was loaded when he pulled the trigger.
Police seized eight guns from the home where the incident happened. Prosecutors are considering filing child endangerment charges against the gun owner, who gave the boys access to several firearms.
The gun owner, 65-year-old Dennis Yohe, declined to comment on the incident.

Translated by Dr. Samuel Chani and Jenni Buch In 1897, a few months before the first Zionist Congress in Basel, a Dr. Buchmal came to see me in Brest, in the name of the organizing committee of the Congress. He brought with him a letter of recommendation from Dr. Herzl himself. His mission was to ensure that there should be more Russian Jewish delegates to the Congress.
I immediately called several of our Chovevei Zion (Lovers of Zion) members: Mordechai Sheinerman, Mordechai Padua, and Ben Zion Neumark. We discussed how to implement this matter. As was known, in Tsarist Russia, every meeting was seen as anti-government agitation and strongly prohibited. In spite of this, 20 people met at my home to hear Dr Buchmal speak of the necessity of participating in the coming Congress.
After the meeting, I remained alone with Dr Buchmal we discussed the future of Zionisn until 7am. Then he told me that he had been instructed by the Zionist organizing committee to print a leaflet proclaiming the coming Congress for the whole of Russian Jewry, and to send a thousand copies of this leaflet to Jews who had a Zionist orientation. Dr Buchmal asked me to print this leaflet and distribute it. The matter was dangerous and difficult to achieve in those days, but the principle of ' to do and to be heard' was vital to our cause. I immediately applied myself to carry out this task.
I approached all the printers in the city nobody wanted to print this leaflet fearing retribution from the authorities. It was obvious that the matter could not be accomplished then Ben Zion Neumark came to me and I asked his advice. He said that he knew of a place where this document could be printed. When I asked which printer, he replied, the Military printing press in the Brest Fortress.He knew a Russian officer there whom he hoped would do it for his own motives. The daily army orders were printed there by the lithography method. The printer was a friend and would possibly agree.
Neumark took the handwritten text that Dr Buchmal had prepared I advised him to print this proclamation without a signature, only signed the City of Brest and the month. Neumark took with him a bottle of brandy and a few rubles and went on his way to the fortress. A new dangerous world was before him, but later I saw him returning with a large packet that contained the printed leaflets.
The military printer had laid out the proclamation on the other side of the military orders during the printing suddenly an army officier arrived and the situation was most uncomfortable, but the printer turned over the lithograph stone and quietly worked on the military orders. He had hidden Neumark with the already printed leaflets in a large cupboard in the corner. Immediately after the officer left, Neumark was let out of his box and the two of them worked until the 1000 copies were done.
Then we had the problem of distribution firstly, we did not have addresses because there were no Zionist organizations allowed in Russia. We therefore had to write the names and addresses of the Chovevei Zion from memory. We occupied ourselves with writing addresses and used the list of leaders of the Odessa committee but we were afraid to send so many letters from the city post office. For a whole week we would go to the railway station twice daily and throw the letters in the post boxes of the many passing trains, so that they would not know where the letters originated.
After several days there was meeting at my place of over 50 people and it was decided to send a delegate from Brest to the Congress, and I was unanimously elected. I traveled directly to Basel. At the Congress I was appointed as a coordinator along with some other delegates it was not a great task. I remember that David Wolfson asked me to compile a list of all the delegates in exact alphabetical order. For half a day I went around to all the delegates one by one and compiled the list.
Upon returning from the Congress the main work of spreading the Zionist ideology began. Several months later I received an invitation from the Chief of Police to come to see him about an important matter. On arrival he showed me a copy of the leaflet. I pretended to read it carefully and remarked that it seemed that this leaflet was printed in the city of Brest, France, not Brest Litovsk. I remarked that I often got letters at my bank office addressed to Brest Litovsk but with a stamp of Brest, France. The officer liked my explanation and wrote in his report to the government authorities that according to his information, and after much investigation and questioning, this leaflet was not printed in Brest Litovsk. Besides Ben Zion Neumark and myself, nobody knew the truth of this matter for the next 20 years no one knew about the printing of this leaflet in Russian in Russia.
This was how the first Zionists had to operate in those days.

Translated by Dr. Samuel Chani and Jenni Buch Before W.W.1 a rabbi called Yakov Reines came to Brest. And so the Mizrachi organization was founded with Michael Rabinovitch at its head. I know little of its activities then, but I remember one evening in 1905 when I came into Rabbi Soloveitchik's study house and saw three bearded Jews seated there. They were studying the Ayin Yakov, and listening to a young man who was reading it aloud and beautifully and simply explaining the commentary. I got closer and saw a young Jew, a talented and gifted student who was discussing the laws and interpretations of the Sabbath and religious customs. At the Sabbath prayers, I met this young man again; he read a lesson in Hebrew, and again for the mid-day students of the Torah.
I found out that this young man was Shmuel Josef Halperin we befriended each other and became close. I saw and admired his greatness, his ideals and high standards, and his love of the Torah. I saw that despite his pressing need for income for his family, he gave himself wholeheartedly to the Torah and the public good.
Many years passed and he went to Israel. Later on we met again in the destroyed city of Brest. Shmuel Josef came to see me one day and asked: why are we silent? Why don't we form a chapter of Mizrachi here in Brest? Together we went to see Rabbi Israel Mashgiach and we decided to rent a five roomed house I myself paid the rent for an entire year, and there we founded a school named Chaim after Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik. In that school we taught Talmudic, Jewish, and general studies. Shmuel Josef channelled all of his energy into this school.
He himself was a grandson of Rabbi Chaim Volozhyner; he was religious and steeped in the Torah. He would come and listen to his students studying. At his instigation the Grayever Rabbi was appointed as the head of this yeshiva. His followers also brought the chass society into the school, and Rabbi Shmuel Josef would conduct a lesson daily, but he was far removed from seeking honor and awards. At a general assembly of over 300 particpants, the Mizrachi movement was re-established in Brest. The committee members were: Shmuel Josef Halperin, David Sussman, Asher Ashkenazi, and Naphtali Rabinovitch. The Mizrachi movement accomplished a great deal - its members participated in all community work, and worked for both the Keren Kayemet and Keren Hayesod. If not for Rabbi Shmuel Josef, Mizrachi would not have existed in Brest.
Once, he opened a meeting with the words: as long as we are visitors in a foreign land, we must look after ourselves and our causes. He proposed to obtain a permit to build a building on the empty lot next to the great synagogue. This was to be the headquarters for the Mizrachi and it's institutions. With the assistance of Shmuel Pomeranitz, they built the one storey Tachkamoni school in 1923. Rabbi Shmuel Josef was not satisfied with that and asked: what are we doing for our orthodox youth? He asked and replied to himself. He began to form the Mizrachi Youth, which combined Torah learning with work. He demanded a joinery where the students could work and learn carpentry and woodworking skills during the day, and to study Torah in the evening classes. The students themselves made all the doors and windows for the school.
Once on a Sabbath, he came to see me and proposed that we form a society for the orthodox women. Immediately the Mizrachi Women's Society was formed. Later on he built a second story on the Tachkamoni building for a high school with 16 classrooms and a great hall that held prayer services every Sabbath and Holyday. He advocated that besides Torah studies, students should also learn general studies and naturally, Hebrew. Studying general studies and culture would not harm a young person who studies the Torah.
In 1925, Rabbi Shmuel Josef Halperin settled in Israel. He lived in Tel-Aviv, later in Kfar Saba liked and respected by all. He was modest and retiring, he would study day and night. He gave lessons in Torah, which he himself constantly studied all his life.

Translated by Dr. Samuel Chani and Jenni Buch The religious Zionist movement was very active in all aspects of the community life in Brest, as well as Zionist activities and work. This included educational methods, the religious youth, and pioneer agricultural training before going to Israel.
This group attracted the best type of officials, and their influence was great in all layers of society. The Young Mizrachi and Mizrachi Pioneers were the best and most attractive movements in Poland. They had the best organization and influence over the religious youth, and contributed a great deal to the popularity of Zionism, and their concept of Torah and Work.
At the head of the movement stood Rabbi Shmuel Josef Halperin, (who died in Kfar Saba), David Sussman, N. Rabinovitch, S. Petrushka, Asher Ashkenazi, Baruch Kwiatkowski, Dov Hazan, Lieb Kravetski, Kalman Neiman (who died in Jerusalem), Ben Zion Menes, Gershon Kassovski, Josef Rosenberg, and Zelig Grynberg (killed in the Holocaust).
The first achievement of the Mizrachi movement was to build the Chaim school. Rabbi Shmuel Josef Halperin and Rabbi Chaim Gershon with their friends and associates built this institution where 100s of student attained knowledge and Torah learning. The Young Mizrachi and the Mizrachi Pioneers held evening courses in Hebrew, biblical studies, the geography of Israel, and had a large library, as well as a joinery workshop for the training of the pioneers in carpentry and woodwork. The movement was influential in the many Zionist activities including Keren Kayemet, Keren Hayesod, and the Shekel Bonds.
In the elections to the City Council, the Mizrachi successfully nominated David Sussman as their delegate, and Asher Ashkenazi was their representative and deputy chairman on the kehilla council. The Mizrachi Women's Organization participated in all the community and Zionist work. Especially active in this was Deborah Felsenstein.
The Mizrachi developed its educational institutions. The school at Pilsudski Square was too small for all their enrolments - after many stormy battles, they managed to obtain a block of land and a permit to build the Tachkamoni school, which became the definitive school in Brest.

Sick Days {Part two}
I almost like when my boys are sick...just a little sick though...not the coming out of both ends sick. I prefer the "just sick enough to slow them down, but not so sick we need to worry" kind of sick. You know, the kind of sick that doesn't need a doctor other than myself. The kind of sick that Children's Mucinex is perfect for.
Maybe it's because I have two boys. Who are active from the moment their little eyelids peel open in the morning to the moment those same lids force themselves closed at the end of the day. They never ever stop moving, or jumping, or hopping, or scaling the walls, or pretending to be hero-ing. They have 100% energy all day long, no matter the weather or the fact that it's Saturday morning and their parents want to sleep in.
When they are sick, however, it's then that they magically have time to stop and cuddle a bit with their mom. It's my favorite. {Not too} sick days make way for couch time, movies, puzzles and building blocks. Less time for running and being crazy people. No matter how old they are, they revert back to just little boys who need some time and their mom to make them feel better. No matter how tough or grown they are on healthy days, they always revert back to sweet little babies who need me. It's nice to be needed.
I also enjoy the forced slowness of a sick day. Life can get so busy and crazy that sometimes you need a real reason to just slow down. A nice cuddle on the couch with my sick boys, a little coffee and some down time goes a long way to making us all feel better. Sick days always seem to come at the right time, too, do you ever notice that? They seem to show up here when life gets too out of control and we need something to force us into sloooooooow. I'm also thankful for the flexibilty of my schedule that allows me these "take it easy" kind of days. I'm sure I may feel different if I wasn't my own boss.
Do you feel like this? What's your favorite part of a sick day? Is it the same way with little girls? I'd love to hear from you!
The next time your little one comes down with the inevitable cold, give Children's Mucinex a try!

I recently had my first "sick day" with my 4 year old boy. We snuggled on the couch, read and did puzzles. I loved being able to spend that one on one time with him, even if he is under the weather. My daughter, on the other hand, NEVER gets sick :)

Our go-to sick day activity is reading books...we may end up reading dozens by the end of the day. Makes my girls smile when they feel a little under the weather and makes me happy to slow down for a bit and get some sweet snuggles!

I performed a search on a specific mail folder (I organize my folders by client) yesterday and, as usual, the results were in my search box. I then ran a couple more searches on the same client folder and checked the box to delete previous results. A little later I went back to the client folder to look for one of the emails that I saw in a earlier search and I couldn't find it. It looks like the emails from the searches were not only deleted from the search folder when I did a new search. But were deleted entirely.
Do you think they are just hidden somewhere? Would compression help. or deleting the .ini file or other files? I see those as common solutions to different problems, but am not really sure which solution to try.
On another note, is there a way to append a date to automatic backups, so they don't over write each other?
Thank you!

At the recommendation of Jorge Segarra (Blog | Twitter), I got the book Daemon. Well, I actually got that about a year ago as a gift – but it was on my list of books to read because Jorge recommended it.
I have finally finished reading it and will be starting Freedom very shortly. I am glad I bought Freedom prior to finishing Daemon since the ending leaves to many open story lines. I really hate to finish a book on a cliff hanger and then have to wait for the next book.
While reading the book, you sit there and wonder if your servers are patched. You also wonder if the network has been properly secured against intrusion. But in the end, you accept that it doesn't matter how secure the network is because the most successful way to hack a network is via social engineering.
Reading the book from an IT perspective, you understand that much of it is plausible. You also find yourself slobbering over some of the tech that is described. I really want some of those security systems, at least two AutoM8s, and an omnipresence stereo system (for lack of a better term). A Razorback would be interesting to own too. 😉
I really enjoyed the book. There was plenty of talk of databases, data security, and data breaches. There was also a nice mix of espionage, treason, and mystery. The plot seems to continue to twist and turn – which kept me involved. At many points, you are also greeted with cold hard reality with some of the decisions that must be made and with regards to how politics work.
Go get this book and read it. I'm off to read Freedom now. I find myself expecting a myriad of possible conclusions while hoping for a better conclusion.

- 2. Members of the Freedom Caucus Speak Out about the AHCA's Bait and Switch
When the House of Representatives, mostly led by members of The Freedom Caucus, recently refused to pass the American Health Care Act (AHCA), it seemed like a treasonous debacle to the American people. Even President Trump expressed his anger. Several Pro-Life groups supported the AHCA, because it would have defunded Planned Parenthood.
But, what the American people didn't know was that the American Health Care Act would not have accomplished its primary mission and promise: Repeal and Replace ObamaCare.
The American Health Care Act was a kludge of a health-care policy. Described as a way to simultaneously repeal key elements of the Affordable Care Act and replace them with market-oriented reforms, the bill in its final form managed to do little of either. Freedom Caucus members were particularly concerned about the willingness of House leaders to leave the vast majority of Obamacare's regulations on the books — after Republicans spent seven years promising that the party would "repeal and replace Obamacare." Even the rationale that the AHCA would be better than nothing was hard to justify; it probably would have further destabilized the individual market, while millions fewer would have been insured. See It's Wrong for Trump to Blame Conservatives.
Even as Obamacare continues funding Planned Parenthood, the foundation supporting abortion is weakening through other means. Since the AHCA's defeat, President Trump has taken action to defund a UN agency that supports forced abortion. Also on March 31, Congress voted to "restore the ability of states to stop one stream of our tax dollars going to Planned Parenthood and redirect it to community health centers that provide comprehensive primary and preventive health care." See Major Victories for Life and Bill Passes to allow states to redirect funds away from Abortion Clinics.
And, on April 7, 2017, Judge Neil Gorsuch was confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards tweeted that Gorsuch's confirmation is "the worst" because Gorsuch has written that "the intentional taking of human life by private persons is ALWAYS wrong." See Why Justice Gorsuch will have an immediate (and big) impact on the Supreme Court.
Hear what several members of Congress, including the House Freedom Caucus, have to say about the disastrous flaws in the AHCA, and why they must be corrected.Click here to read more
- 3. Mr. Trump: Tear Down This Wall!
Which wall?
The laws, rules, regulations, executive branch and federal agency proclamations and issuances, memos, guidance documents, bulletins, circulars, announcements with practical regulatory effect, "significant" agency guidance documents, and thousands of other such documents that are subject to little scrutiny or democratic accountability, and that have stifled entrepreneurship, jobs, the economy, and innovation.
That Wall. Tear it down, Mr. Trump.
Of the 10 highest-ever Federal Register regulation page counts, Obama is responsible for seven. Obama keeps breaking his own record! 77,687 (2014); 78,961 (2012); 79,311 (2013); 80,260 (2015); 81,247 (2011); 81,405 (2010).; and 91,642 (2016). That's an Atlas-back-breaking total of over 570,000 pages. There are some "fact checkers" who quibble about number of pages versus number of regulations, blah, blah. However, the point is this: Americans are being strangled by regulations.Click here to read more
This is what the Regulatory Wall looked like in 2013, before Obama "hit his stride."
- 4. Rep. Bob Thorpe's Letter Regarding Transgender Bathrooms
Recently, Gilbert Watch published Arizona Joins Texas in Lawsuit to Stop Federal Overreach. Arizona joined this lawsuit following a letter from Arizona lawmaker Representative Bob Thorpe (R-LD6). Rep. Thorpe has provided the letter to Gilbert Watch, as well as the data for how the State, Local and Federal education funds break down for 2014-2015.
Dear Arizona Superintendent of Schools Diane Douglas and Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich:
Legislators have been receiving numerous complaints from constituents who are very concerned with the threatening tone of the May 13, 2016 letter from U.S. Attorney General Lynch and U.S. Department of Education Secretary King.
The letter coerces our nation's K-12 public schools and colleges to ensure that transgender students must be allowed to use the gender designated restrooms, changing rooms and locker facilities of their choosing, not necessarily that of their biological gender. It has been estimated that approximately 0.3% of U.S. individuals identify themselves as transgender.Click here to read more
- 5. Arizona Joins Texas in Lawsuit to Stop Federal Overreach
In response to a letter from Arizona lawmaker Representative Bob Thorpe (R-LD6), Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and State Superintendent of Public Instruction Diane Douglas announced that Arizona will Join Texas in a Lawsuit to Stop Federal Overreach. Co-signers of Rep. Thorpe's letter included Sen. Sylvia Allen (R-LD6), and Representatives Brenda Barton (R-LD6), Paul Boyer (R-L20), Karen Fann (R-LD1), Mark Finchem (R-LD11), Anthony Kern (R-LD20), and Vince Leach (R-LD11). (Please express your thanks to Bob Thorpe and the other legislators who signed his letter, as well as Mark Brnovich and Diane Douglas. See email addresses below.)
The COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF concerns the May 13, 2016 "Joint Guidance" issued by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education relating to requiring public schools that receive federal funding to allow transgender students to use whatever restroom or locker room they wish, based on how they identify their gender.
The threat to withdraw federal funding from any school that doesn't comply is very clear in this sentence: "Under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, schools receiving federal money may not discriminate based on a student's sex, including a student's transgener status."Click here to read more
- 6. Georgia ACLU director resigns over transgender fight
Liberal compassion towards transgenders ends when.....it negatively affects THEIR kids.
"Maya Dillard Smith, the head of Georgia's ACLU chapter, stepped down this week in protest of the civil rights group's challenge of a controversial North Carolina law that critics see as discriminatory to transgender people."
"I have shared my personal experience of having taken my elementary school age daughters into a women's restroom when shortly after three transgender young adults over six feet with deep voices entered," she writes. "My children were visibly frightened, concerned about their safety and left asking lots of questions for which I, like many parents, was ill-prepared to answer."
Want to know why those guys used that bathroom? Because they can.Click here to read more
- 7. House Ed. Committee Poised to Stifle Voice of Voters: SB1313
The first effort to strip our duly elected Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) of powers was during the Legislature's last session. Thankfully, HB2184 was held in the House. The second whack at our eleted SPI was brought forward this session by Sen. Jeff Dial, via SB1416.
SB1416 has been held by Speaker of the House David Gowan, until very recently, when he caved under pressure from Governor Ducey. Gowan is currently running as a "conservative" for U.S. Representative in CD1. Is "caving under pressure" a trait you seek in a U.S. Congressman?
SB1416 has now morphed into an even uglier SB1313, championed by Rep. Paul Boyer, known for his disdain for parental authority in matters relating to the education of their children. See Rep. Paul Boyer Won't Allow Parental "Opt Out" Bill to be Heard! , Boyer Blocking Parental Choice, Privacy Bills , and Boyer Tries To Dodge Public On SB1313, Education Overhaul
See below for a Summary of SB1313 by Vicki Alger, Ph.D.
Very simply, THIS BILL MUST BE STOPPED!
The House Education Committee will meet on Wednesday, March 16, at 2:00 PM, to vote on SB1313. Click HERE for the agenda. Please call, visit, use the RTS (virtual Request to Speak), email the following Committee members as soon as possible!Click here to read more
- 8. HB2115 Passes the Government and Higher Education Committee
"Everything at the City of Phoenix is geared toward the employees," DiCiccio said. "The taxpayers come last, always." See Undisciplined Bureaucracy: Civil Service Job Protections Make Disciplining a Problem Government Employee Complicated, Costly and Time Consuming
An extremely good bill, HB2115 passed its first Committee hearing on 1/28/2015: 6 in favor, 2 against, 1 absent. It would have passed 7-2, because Rep. Justin Olson (LD25), who was absent, was one of the bill's Primary Sponsors. But it has a long way to go to become law.
Please recall from my original article, Rep. Warren Petersen (LD12) crafted this legislation as a deterrent, making public officials think twice before illegally spending thousands of taxpayer dollars, thinking they can walk away with lucrative taxpayer-paid benefits or severance pay. After watching the committee hearing, including Phoenix Council member Sal DiCiccio's comments, it's clear that government employees enjoy far more "job protections and tolerance for bad behavior" than private sector employees.
In the case of Stephen Banta, CEO of Valley Metro, following an investigation by The Republic, they reported that Banta was reimbursed with taxpayer funds for flying first-class, buying alcohol, staying in $600/night hotels, and eating in some of the most expensive restaurants in Portland, charging all of it to the taxpayers, while running Valley Metro. This included 44 round-trip airfares between Phoenix and Portland from February 2010 to July 2012 for Banta and his wife. The Republic also found that Banta was reimbursed for dinners that included guests who said they didn't attend those dinners.
In spite of all this, Banta was awarded $265k in an annuity upon termination of employment.
Democrat Lela Alston (LD24), who voted against the bill, commented: "Maybe his contract should have read: 'You can't take your wife on vacations using public funds.'" Democrat Jonathan Larkin (LD30) agreed.Click here to read more
- 9. Support HB2115: No Payouts/Benefits for Public Officials Who Misappropriate Taxpayer Dollars!
Rep. Warren Petersen has crafted legislation that will have a chilling effect on public officials who illegally waste money and then walk away with lucrative benefits or severence pay. It's HB2115 Simple, straightforward, brief. (This bill is scheduled to be heard Jan. 28 at 9:00 am in the Government and Higher Education Committee. See ACTION at the end of this article.)
Should a public official who is caught and terminated for fraudulently, lavishly spending taxpayer dollars on meals, travel, hotels, entertaining, etc., go on to receive lucrative payouts, annuities, pensions, and other benefits?
Rep. Warren Petersen doesn't think so, and neither do the many other sponsors and co-sponsors of this excellent bill. HB2115 spells out that anyone who is found guilty would forfeit any future benefits. While there already are laws on the books against fraud and misappropriation of public funds, these cases don't always get pursued as the official is fired or even allowed to quit.
HB2115 ensures that these public officials forfeit any future benefits. States Petersen: "All too often, those who are caught and terminated leave with lavish payouts, annuities, pensions and other benefits. Termination from a high position in government office should not be like winning the Lotto. Rewarding someone for bad behavior can only encourage more of the same." See Petersen Seeks to Prevent Lavish Payouts to Errant Public Officials.Click here to read more
Two cases come to mind:
- 10. Obama's Radical War on the Navajo Nation and Rural Arizonans
In this video, you will see that West Virginia is suffering 6.9% unemployment, due to the Obama Administration's determination to shut down the coal industry with excessive regulations, thanks to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). There is no mention of the more than 50% unemployment suffered by 300,000 Navajos, or the destruction of jobs in Northern Arizona!

Decision on Delivery
Decision on Delivery
Cancel. I don't think they would hold on to your car until next year and I sure would not want to drive this car in Japan.
Yes, cancel and re-order. You'll get the latest doo-dads, and the delivery schedule will be shorter and more certain.
Once the car is finished you have 30 days to take delivery, or you forfeit your $5000 and they give your car to somebody else. Sounds like you should cancel.
What? I never heard anything like that. Don't jibe at the poor boy!
My advice would be to wait for now, assuming you have not gotten your configure email. Then once you know for sure if you will be assigned outside the US, or you get the configure email, call Tesla and see if they can work with you to keep your reservation but not fill it until you get back..
I have found them to be fairly accommodating when there are extenuating circumstances.
Or you could just call them now, if your worried about putting yourself too far back on the reservations list.
As the old saying goes "Never hurts to ask."
If you're definitely leaving, I would cancel. A lot can happen in a year, and your plans may change while you're away. By the time you come back, the backlog should be much shorter (assuming reservations don't increase at more than 20,000/year).
@BrianH - Greg is saying once you finalize your order, the deposit becomes non-refundable.
If he is already past that point, Tesla may be willing to consider alternatives given his situation.
Cancel your business in Japan. Find a local job and enjoy driving your Telsa Model S... ;)
@Brian: It's right in the MVPA:
"We will notify you when your vehicle is ready for delivery, and, unless we are in breach of this Agreement, you hereby agree to schedule and take delivery of your vehicle within 30 days of such notification."
Also in the MVPA:
"If you fail or refuse to accept delivery of the Vehicle, we may retain as liquidated damages any cash downpayment or deposit made by you, to the extent not prohibited by law."
I just combined the two clauses.
That's because you're naturally greedy. );(

Craig Peacock is a 24-year-old forward for the Belfast Giants, a team in Northern Ireland that plays in the UK's Elite Ice Hockey League. We once showed you Peacock and the Giants lip-synching their way through a Mariah Carey Christmas number. But this here is far less joyous. Peacock took a skate to the face during Saturday's loss to the Fife Flyers. He needed 29 stitches. He tweeted what his face looked like before he got stitched up. We kind of wish he hadn't. But Peacock has his reasons.

Earlier on Tuesday evening I was doing some research on Kolkata, India and was searching for some information about sex work in the city. I did a quick search for Sonagachi, which is the city's largest red light district. In fact, it's one of the biggest red light districts in all of Asia. Sonagachi is also the focus of the 2004 documentary Born Into Brothels. You can read about the crimes against women and girls that are committed in Sonagachi in a variety of places, or you can watch the documentary.
While doing my research to grab a couple those statistics, I discovered something disturbing: Sonagachi has a Facebook community page. Nearly 3000 people have liked that page.
The page is full of images of young women, many of whom are likely under age, as so many of the sex workers in Kolkata are. From what I have learned firsthand from people who work in Kolkata's red light districts, many of the sex trade workers are not there of their own volition. They are there because they have been kidnapped, sold, or enslaved. The photos on the Sonagachi Facebook page are of women who are likely the victims of human trafficking.
Because the fan page also features photos of totally naked women and women performing oral sex on men, I immediately reported it to Facebook. I know that Facebook has made some positive steps lately in responding to posts that promote violence toward women, so I was hopeful that they would take action against the page. I mean, it is basically a lookbook of available sex workers, featuring explicit pornography.
I asked some friends to join me in reporting the page.
Unfortunately, we all received this message:
Thanks for your recent report of a potential violation on Facebook. After reviewing your report, we were not able to confirm that the specific page you reported violates Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities.
Learn more about what we do and don't allow by reviewing the Facebook Community Standards: https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards.
Let me interpret this for you: Facebook is choosing not to take action against a page that promotes the sex trafficking of women and features pornographic images of naked women performing sex acts. Many of the women are likely under age.
This is despite their own community standards, which state: Facebook has a strict policy against the sharing of pornographic content and any explicitly sexual content where a minor is involved. We also impose limitations on the display of nudity. We aspire to respect people's right to share content of personal importance, whether those are photos of a sculpture like Michelangelo's David or family photos of a child breastfeeding.
This is unacceptable.
Unfortunately, there is not much that I can do from where I live in Indiana to help women who are being trafficked for sex in Kolkata. I will do what I can, but it's not much. One of the things I can do is ask the world's most popular social networking site not to be complicit in the sale of women and girls.
This is the link to the very upsetting (and obviously NSFW) Sonagachi Facebook page. Please join me in reporting it to Facebook and letting them know that this is unacceptable on their part.
Update: Although I don't have the stomach to look through the pictures and galleries, it has been brought to my attention that there are children featured in some galleries, posts have been made in the last 24 hours by the page community advertising women for sex, there is a photo series about taking a teenage woman's virginity. Please, if you choose to visit the site, REPORT IT. Don't just click through the images. Do something about this.
