Public Comment
Letter to Diana Alvarado, U.S.Postal Service, re proposed relocation and sale of Berkeley Main Post Office (NEPA)
Dear Ms. Alvarado:
Several of the historic and civic individuals and organizations testifying before your hearing this evening have asked me to provide comment on the applicability of the National Enviromnental Policy Act (NEPA) to the proposed relocation and sale of the Berkeley Main Post Office.
By way of qualifications a brief biographical summary is attached. As an individual I am familiar with the Berkeley Main Post Office as a frequent user of it, most recently to obtain passport renewals for my daughters, who attend Berkeley High School within one block of the building.
In my opinion NEPA applies to the proposed action of the United States Postal Serivce (USPS), under NEPA the relocation and sale represent a major federal action affecting the human enviromnent, no categorical exclusion can lie, and therefore before taking any official decision on relocation or sale, an enviromnental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared and circulated for public review.
- NEPA applies to the Postal Service. City of Rochester v. United States Postal Service, 541 F.2d 967 (2d. Cir. 1976); Chelsea Neighborhood Associations v. United States Postal Service, 516 F.2d 378 (2d Cir. 1975); 39 C.P.R. part 775.
- The "major federal action" --the "whole of the action" -- defined by your notice is that of relocation and sale. ("If this relocation is approved, USPS anticipates selling the current Berkeley Main Post Office building.") The action cannot be segmented into relocation only when the driving force for that action is the intended sale. 40 C.F.R. §1508.25 ("connected actions ... should be discussed in the same impact statement").
- Assessment of the relocation and sale must take place at the earliest possible moment to ensure that impacts are acknowledged, alternatives identified, and both the proposal and impacts are assessed before decision and in time to allow meaningful public participation. 40 C.F.R. § 1502.5 (EIS "shall be prepared early enough" to contribute to decison-making .and "not be used to rationalize or justify decisions already made"). Assessment after relocation will prove meaningless, because at that time the remaining alternatives will only ask how to deal with an empty, publicly-inaccessible building.
- Substantial, indeed overwhelming, evidence to be presented tonight supports the conclusion that relocation and sale of the Berkeley Main Post Office will produce an adverse impact on the environment, which includes both the loss of an historic resource and community disruption. City of Rochester, supra; 40 C.F.R. § 1508.14 ("human environment shall be interpreted comprehensively" to include "physical environment and the relationship of people with that environment").
- USPS cannot rely on a "categorical exclusion" to escape the duty to prepare an EIS. The regulations of both the Council on Environmental Quality and U.S. Postal Service itself do not allow categorical exclusions in cases such as this, representing "extraordinary circumstances in which a normally excluded action may have a significant adverse effect." 40 C.F.R. § 1508.4; 39 C.F.R. § 775.6; see also 39 U.S.C. § 404 (no Congressional NEPA exemption for closure or consolidation of post offices).

Yes, that's my real age
Even if some people may like her new appearance, I however did not. She looks more like a guy with her hair cut short like that. As if her previous hair wasn't short enough. How disappointing... I liked Rukia

Eew she's so ugly now, tbh.
Is the current arc worth reading? Maybe I should give it one more try.
WHAAAA.....i like her new hair now

Oh god I'm glad this Troll bring arc is over...
Life is full of shit but it's the delicious part that makes it worth it.
im just glad she is finally being recognized for her ability, i mean she killed a f-ing espada, sure it was the weakest by far and he was only a gillian class arrancar, but still im just glad her got promoted she deserved that much
in another note why the hell aren't renji and ikkaku captain yet, is it b/c they both love to kiss the ass of their captain so much they cant move on in life cuz they just love the taste of it? i mean wtf?
i really hope rukia stays in the story more it was better when she was one of the main characters ever since the rescue from soul society arc she kind of got shafted.
You kind of spoiled it anyway by putting "Rukia" in the title. BUT when i first saw her at the end of Deathberry chap i was totally spazzzing! I'm all like "OMG SHE'S A VICE CAPTAIN AND SHE CUT HER HAIR AND NOW ICHIGO GONNA GET HIS POWERS BACK!" Now I'm calm and happy to see she's back.
Phew looks like everyone in the chapter has a new look and Toushirou even let his hair down...So the point of this arc is...just a plot device to get his powers back and the Troll Bring is pretty useless..from what i could tell..
Life is full of shit but it's the delicious part that makes it worth it.
So glad Rukia is back and I like her new look! Hopefully Kubo remembers that she's an important part of Bleach this time around.
The Fullbring idiots are about to get what they deserve.
I think if any events changed in the year and a half that ichigo's lost his powers I hope that Kenpachi has realized Yachiru is his zanpakuto and can at least use his shikai.
Anyone else glad Byakuya ditched those hair pieces he had?
Nakama mada irukara. Sorede iie
I'm reading this fullbring arc and this shit makes no sense at all bleach is just going downhill...
I'm up for a NAFTA
The short haired Rukia reminds of a character by Seo Kouji and almost feels like "Dude great and all that we got these characters back but at least dont be stealing the main chick from Suzuka or one from Kimi no Iru Machi"
Looking far out into the distance will make you trip on your own feet.

I thought they were markings for his noble status? Aside from that, I thought they look unique. He does have an Aizen-esque overcoat now.

Indiana Prosecutor Threatens Redbox With Criminal Charges If It Doesn't Remove R-Rated Movies
from the let-me-introduce-you-to-the-constitution dept
And, of course, the true story behind this threat is found early on in the article. It has nothing to do with "protecting the children" at all. Instead, this is a bunch of independent video rental stores trying to shut down the competition:
"I'm not on a crusade," said Paul Black, an Evansville attorney who says he suggested the inquiry to Levco's office on behalf of a client who operates several video store locations. "We're just looking for a level playing field here."That's not leveling the playing field. It's trying to block competition -- and doing so with bogus charges of criminal behavior.

Round about now I go on a mad search in my wardrobe for my collection of Fred Perry's. When that search proves fruitless I normally treat myself to a polo shirt or two, one from here or here and another cheapo from a High Street store. If that's you cunning plan too, here is a round up of some of …

I read Robert Elms' marvellous book The Way We Wore last week. If you haven't read it it is a fascinating, and very personal dissection of British youth cults and the clothes that were associated with them, throughout the 70s and 80s.

Ralph Lauren polo shirts – They're not just for Chavs anymore
The thing about brands is that different
people have different relationships with them. For people like the fabulous Henry Conway,
Ralph Lauren polo shirts might conjure up images of days out at Ascot, Croquet

of Chavs, or as they were called back in my day, Essex boys. Without giving you
my life story – I'm saving that for another post – when I was at secondary
school, fake Ralph Lauren polo shirts were all the rage. In those days, you
spotted a fake by looking at the number of legs on the horse of the logo. Fakes
had 3 or less, real ones had 4. This led to a horse-logo-checking habit that's
stayed with me to this day.

For the Media
Indoor Air Pollutants to be Discussed at Next Clarkson University Science Cafe Wednesday
[A photograph for media use is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/ferro2.jpg]
Indoor air pollutants will be discussed by Clarkson University Prof. Andrea R. Ferro at the next Science Cafe at Jack & Wezzie's Coffee House (formerly Fields Coffee House) in Potsdam this Wednesday, October 29, at 7:30 p.m.
Her talk will focus on how emitted pollutants become inhaled pollutants and what can easily be done to mitigate inhalation exposure.
Science Cafes bring together scientists and townspeople in a relaxed, informal setting, where a guest scientist makes a short presentation about a topic in his or her field, and then opens up the floor to discussion.
In describing her presentation, titled "The Rule of 1000 Determines Our Exposure to Environmental Pollutants," Ferro says, "To protect human health, we measure outdoor air quality, but it is actually indoor air quality that results in pollutant dose and potential health effects. The Rule of 1000 states that the fraction of material released that actually enters someone's breathing zone is 1000 times higher for a pollutant released indoors than for a pollutant released outdoors.
"To reduce your exposure to indoor pollutants, the most important thing you can do is control the source in your home or business. This may seem obvious, but current practices do not consider this direct exposure route. How many kitchens are built without an adequate exhaust fan above the stove?"
Be sure to arrive early to get a good seat, or to place your food or drink order.
The last Science Cafe for the fall is on November 12 and will feature Prof. Kathleen Fowler on "Coffee, Gossip, and Math."

Why do people put such a low price limit when jeans shopping? Don't give me the price nonsense either. If you spend £50 on jeans which develop holes after 3 months, then you'll need to replace them. Do this 3 or 4 times a year and you'll spend £150-200 on the same awful pair of jeans. So why not save that money up and get these Acne Jeans?
Denim on Denim – It can be done
For eons, I've had the denim on denim look as the sole preserve of builders and creepy men in clubs. But seeing this picture at the Sartorialist has changed my mind for good. Although it's best left for the colder months, the look can be recreated with this LVC 1936 type 1 Jacket.
Dolce & Gabbana grey Jeans/trousers – Jousers?
For some weird reason, Grey jeans are still hard to come by. That's what makes these Dolce & Gabbana light jeans a god/allah/thereisnogod-send. While I love trousers, they can be slightly too flimsy for my tastes.
Surface To Air et Justice pour tous
Electro darlings Justice have announced a collaborative effort with fellow Parisians Surface To Air, for their new clothing line 'Justice for All'.
Clearly heavily influenced by Xavier de Ronay's leather jacket fetish, 3 have been designed in a 150 piece run (including a rather nice biker jacket, fuelling the resurgence) along with 2 pairs of jeans.
Acne collaborate with Fantastic Man for their 'Gentleman's Jeans'
The Dutch duo behind the beloved Fantastic Man magazine have teamed up with Acne to produce the 'Gentleman's Jeans', a pair of slightly tapered slim-ish fitting dark denim jeans. The Fantastic Man editors Gert Jonkers & Jop van Bennekom describe it thus:
"It's reminiscent of a style that we'd see on our fathers and uncles — the dreaded pleated denim chino — but then updated and made wonderful for today and for ourselves."
Uniqlo's Vintage Chinos
Chino's are the perfect mix of jean and trouser, but it was excruciatingly difficult to get hold of great fitting chino's as they're still a rather American item. This all changed with Uniqlo's Vintage flat front chino's. Whilst the price point is usually the selling point with Uniqlo – and at £25, it's a great price – the detailing is what makes this piece stand out.
Shorts and trousers from Full Circle
Spring Summer ranges are in and Full Circle have got some great basic trousers and shorts. The linen shorts are perfect for anyone who tentatively wants to take the plunge with shorts as they are smart but not over-tailored; they also come in a wine colour and mink.
Trousers trends multiply, so take your pick!
S/S trends from left: Martin Margiela, Alexander McQueen, Prada, Burberry Prorsum.
Trouser styles have been skinny for a long time, but mirroring womenswear trends the fashion-forward kecks seen on a trendy young man could just as easily be voluminous double-pleated, geek chic cropped, wide-leg, bootcut or dropped-crotch.
Topman Dynamic Denim Feature
Topman has perfected the art of online retailing. Constantly changing and adding to their list of online sub-stores, there is a separate store for denim, t-shirts and even summerwear. The latest addition to the website is the Dynamic Denim feature. An essential to every man's wardrobe, see after the jump for my pick of the label's latest denim lovelies.
You Would If You Could: Denim Like Dean
Poor Daniel Bedingfield- he crooned about his ability to be James Dean and next thing he knew he was blown out of the entertainment water by his own sister.
Short shorts, the debate goes on…
As you may have noticed, Short shorts are a major topic of debate around Brandish. In fact, having failed to get my local MP to ask this at the House of Commons, I went to this week's recording of Question Time. In between questions about the budget, I got up and yelled 'but what about short shorts? Yay or Nay?' I've got a funny feeling they won't be airing that segment. It's a shame really.
'Man Alive'- Style Magazine, Sunday 16 March
Until it's short shorts weather don a pair of Topman slacks
While we're getting all hot under the collar about the short shorts debate (seriously, is there a more important current affiairs topic?) the weather hasn't quite caught up with us.
My Theory- The Future of Short Shorts
"You were on my mind at least nine tenths of yesterday, it seemed as if perhaps I'd gone insane. What is it about you that has commandeered my brain? Maybe it's your…" Kimya Dawson's brilliant lyrics ring through my head as I realise that it appears I have nothing better to do on a Saturday night than listen to the Juno soundtrack (heads up my friends,) and appear pensive and philosophical while typing away at my laptop. That is until you know what is causing me so much mental frustration- I am deciding upon my 'theory' (as labelled by Jason and furthered by Isabelle) regarding the devious short shorts trend.
Khakis fashioned from WWII tents
You can't get more authentic than a pair of khakis re-fashioned from tents used in World War II.
You Would If You Could… The Awkward Lengths
The next look to make our list is the awkward length. This was a hard one to put into this feature as some do manage to pull it off but not everyone is Terence Koh and it only took a look at the local fashionisto's crash and burn outfit of Kriss van Assche-style combat with tight tee to know that this was one to be hastily put down.
dVb- Men's jeans by Victoria Beckham
The latest news on the fashion circuit is of Posh Spice's interesting new venture-into the world of men's jeans. According to an article on DNR, Beckham "despises skinny jeans on men."
BluWash: we can finally start washing our jeans again!
I'm in no way obsessive enough to do wrench rubbings on my back pocket with sandpaper but I do care about how my jeans look. This basically means that for certain pairs I try not to wash them until the smell makes me dry-heave.
Grizzly Bear show how to wear short shorts
We were talking about Grizzly Bear at Shiny Towers today and when I had a look at their website I was struck by how well they wear short shorts.

In 2005, according to UNAIDS (The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS), it was estimated that there were 2.3 million children around the world living with HIV/AIDS. This number represented about 6% of the total world population living with HIV. In 2005, about 90% of children living with HIV lived in sub-Saharan Africa.1
About 90% of HIV cases in children are due to "vertical" transmission – transmission from mother to child. Most of these cases of transmission happen during the last trimester of pregnancy, during delivery, or through breastfeeding.2
Direct Testing is required for HIV in children less than 18 months of age who were born to a mother with HIV, as opposed to tests that just look for the HIV antibody in the patient's blood. Any child above 18 months of age can be tested according to general HIV testing guidelines.2
Many infants or children living with HIV are known or suspected to be infected because their mother's HIV status is already known. However, some cases in children are not recognized until the child starts to develop symptoms.
In infants and children, signs and symptoms of HIV infection include:
When an individual with HIV begins to progress towards AIDS, they will usually contract opportunistic infections (OIs). OIs are rare infections that affect individuals with suppressed immune systems. Children with HIV are less likely to acquire toxoplasmosis (an opportunistic parasitic disease) than adults. However, children with HIV are susceptible to pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) and to serious infection due to cytomegalovirus (CMV). Children with HIV are also more likely to develop lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis (LIP), which is rare in adults. Adults with HIV often develop thrush in their mouths due to candida, a type of yeast, while children with HIV often but can also develop severe diaper rash due to candida.2
The principles of antiretroviral treatment are similar for both adults and children. Usually a strong cocktail of drugs should be used in order to prevent the virus from becoming resistant to medication. However, there are special considerations when dealing with children. Some antiretroviral medications are not available in liquid form, and others cause side effects that are less acceptable in children than in adults. An HIV specialist can advise which antiretroviral medications are appropriate for children with HIV.
Many infants who are known to have HIV will not demonstrate any symptoms of HIV until they are toddlers or school-age. However, an HIV specialist might recommend that they be started on medication even if they are asymptomatic, in order to improve their long-term survival and general health. The recommendations for when to begin an antiretroviral treatment regiment in infants and children are based on whether the child has symptoms of HIV, as well as their CD4+ T-cell count/percentage and HIV viral load.3
Children with HIV, like adults, must have routine laboratory tests done every few months to monitor the state of their HIV infection and their immune system. This is done by testing for the number of HIV present in the blood (called viral load test), as well as the number of specific white blood cells called CD4+ T-cells. The CD4+ T-cells are targeted by HIV, and therefore, a low level of these cells in a HIV positive person can mean that the disease is progressing, or that the virus is becoming resistant to certain medications.
In children less than 6 years old, it is important to pay close attention to the percentage of T-cells that are CD4+, since the absolute number of cells can be misleading in small children.
Children with HIV are more likely to have developmental delay and learning disabilities, and should be monitored for difficulty in school. It can be emotionally and psychologically difficult to have a chronic infection like HIV that is often misunderstood, and parents and health care providers should be especially aware of the challenges these children face. Usually at least one of the parents of the child is also HIV-positive, and this can add to the complexity of caring for a child with HIV.3

Today, Google announced the rollout of its Knowledge Graph, which will cause a big change to how results are delivered in the SERPs. Basically, the intent behind the Knowledge Graph is for search engines to think more like a human -- and deliver results that reflect that. It's gradually rolling out in the U.S. as we speak, but you might not see it for yourself quite yet. After the initial rollout is complete, Google will expand the Knowledge Graph to searches on mobile and tablet devices, then to languages other than English.
As Google puts it, Knowledge Graph, "taps into the collective intelligence of the web and understands the world a bit more like people do." Wait. What exactly does that mean? Let's take a deeper look at this rollout, and try to make things a little clearer!
What is Google's Knowledge Graph?
To explain the Knowledge Graph, let's all pretend we're conducting a search in Google for the term 'Taj Mahal.' Before the Knowledge Graph, Google simply saw that query as a string of characters; but it means much more than that to you, a human, right? If only search engines could understand 'Taj Mahal' like you understand it, the results would be much more relevant to you! That's exactly what the Knowledge Graph will help Google do, and as a result, users will see improved search results.
So think about it -- what does Taj Mahal make you think of? A historic monument? A casino in Atlantic City? A musician?
I guess it depends on the person -- and that's what makes this update so cool. As Google puts it, Knowledge Graph, "understands real-world entities and their relationship to one another: things, not strings."
How does it do that, though? Well, it taps into public sources of information like Wikipedia, Freebase, and the CIA World Factbook for information, couples that with information pulled from more than 500 million other objects, and augments it all with more than 3.5 billion facts about and relationships between those objects. If you want more in-depth understanding of how this works on the backend, well, get a job as a Google Engineer, I suppose. Or at the very least, watch this video before we get into why the Knowledge Graph is so cool!
Why is the Knowledge Graph Cool?
Because it will make Google search results better, plain and simple. It's doing this in a few ways:
1) Searchers are more likely to find the right thing. Like we referenced above, a search for 'Taj Mahal' could mean you want information about the monument, the musician, or something completely different. With the Knowledge Graph, you'll be able to narrow your search results to only include what you really want. Just click the link of the Taj Mahal you really want as indicated in the image below, and you'll see the results you actually wanted to see. Now Google can understand the nuanced meaning behind queries of this nature like the searcher intends the search engine to.
2) Searchers get an accurate summary of facts. Because the Knowledge Graph allows Google to better understand a query, it can them summarize content related to that topic. For example, a search for 'Marie Curie' could yield facts like her birth date, education, and scientific discoveries. To determine which facts searchers actually want to see, the Knowledge Graph looks at what other searchers have been asking Google about the item. For example, searchers may have been more interested in Marie Curie's scientific discoveries, and less interested in, say, her favorite food, so facts are displayed to reflect those interests.
It is also able to pull in relevant facts because, like we stated earlier, the Knowledge Graph understands the relationships between entities. So the Knowledge Graph understands that Marie Curie is a person, she won a Nobel Prize, she had a husband named Pierre Curie, and Pierre Curie claimed her third Nobel Prize -- all of these facts are linked within the Knowledge Graph as items that have a relationship, not just disparate, unrelated objects.
3) Searchers discover new information they wouldn't otherwise find. With all of these new facts popping up in search results with the Knowledge Graph, searchers will be able to learn information about their query that could open up a whole new set of inquiries. Google uses The Simpsons as an example to demonstrate this benefit:
Apparently, Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, got the inspiration for the name of three of his main characters from his parents and sister! Google hopes that this will help them "answer your next question before you've asked it, because the facts we show are informed by what other people have searched for. For example, the information we show for Tom Cruise answers 37 percent of next queries that people ask about him." Think of it kind of like the ecommerce recommendation engine ... but for organic search!
Does the Knowledge Graph Change How Marketers Do SEO?
To put it plainly, we don't know. Google made no comment on whether the Knowledge Graph would affect search results -- although if it was going to harm any businesses, we're confident some statement would be made. But my educated guess is that the Knowledge Graph only serves to solidify the statements Google has been making surrounding its Panda and Penguin algorithm updates. Essentially, write for humans, not for search engines. That also means you should be creating comprehensive content. Not only do humans want the whole story, but the Knowledge Graph will likely see content that covers all of the facts (and their relationship to one another) as incredibly useful to humans and their surfacing of relevant facts. So if you're a good content creator and legitimate search engine optimizer, the Knowledge Graph should be in your favor -- but as always, we'll keep you updated if we learn anything different.
What do you think of Google's Knowledge Graph? Do you think it will change the way marketers approach SEO?

"This is a historic day for the City of Rochester and the University of Rochester as we move forward with College Town," said President Joel Seligman.
On Wednesday, Dec. 19, the College Town project received $4 million from New York's Regional Economic Development Council program, as part of a total $96.2 million award to the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council representing the state's investment in projects aimed at creating 50,000 new jobs in the region over the next five years.
College Town, at the intersection of Mt. Hope and Elmwood avenues, is a planned, mixed-use development project that links the University's presence with the community to create a friendly atmosphere for students, residents and shoppers alike.
"This project will create a vibrant neighborhood, enhance the quality of life for this community, and spur economic development by adding hundreds of jobs and millions in tax dollars to the city and region," continued President Seligman. "Let me express my sincere gratitude to the outstanding partners who have made College Town possible, including Mayor Tom Richards and the City Council, College Town of Rochester development partners Fairmount Properties and Gilbane Development, the Mt. Hope Task Force and our neighbors, and the many others here who worked on this great project. I want to especially recognize Ron Paprocki for his vision and leadership, persistence through the many steps of this extremely complex project, and the outstanding coordination efforts by him and his team with our partners.
"I also want to extend a special thanks to Governor Andrew Cuomo, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Rep. Louise Slaughter, and the state officials who have provided unwavering support of this transformative project."
Paprocki, senior vice president for administration and finance and CFO, said: "With the University as one of several partners in the College Town project, I'd like to express my gratitude to Governor Cuomo and New York State for a $4 million investment into our community. College Town is one of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council's 2012 Priority Projects that advances our region's strategic growth and vitality, and with this support we now look toward a formal groundbreaking early in the new year."

Their love story started off with a whirlwind trip around the world — and now J.P. and Ashley Hebert Rosenbaum's journey has taken them right into parenthood.
The former Bachelorette and the recipient of her final rose — her husband! — were showered with love during a travel-themed baby bash at General Assembly on July 19 in New York City.
"J.P. and I have also done a ton of traveling throughout our relationship, so it only seemed appropriate since travel is such a huge part of our lives," the mom-to-be tells PEOPLE exclusively.

As they made their way into the party, which was hosted by Minted, the expectant parents — who will welcome a son in October — stopped to pose for pictures outside of the restaurant before joining family and friends inside.
Although the travel motif she chose for baby boy's nursery was incorporated into the chic shower, Hebert was shocked by all the sweet surprises and decorative touches around the room.
"I really didn't want to know anything about the shower prior to my arrival," she says. "My vision for the baby shower was to have a small, chic gathering with my closest friends and family. I wanted to be sure that I had time to sit and chat with each and every person that took time out of their lives to celebrate with us!"
Kristy May Photography
Guests — who were invited to the event with Minted's Petit Rattle invites — were surrounded by cake stands adorned with toy airplanes and baby books as they noshed on platters of red quinoa, fava and avocado, tomato hummus and an assortment of sweet treats.

And while Hebert couldn't get enough of the delicious delicacies, the most memorable moment of the shower came when she was presented with a custom album filled with pictures of her partygoers posing in the photo booth to accompany a few words of wisdom for the future family of three.
"Each guest took a Polaroid in the photo booth and adhered it to a page in a scrapbook along with a piece of advice for us and a wish for baby R. So cute!" Hebert says of her "favorite memory."

The afternoon's activities also included a fun "Who Knows Mama Ash?" quiz and a paper airplane station, complete with instructions on how to build a mini model for baby boy. After everyone had a chance to make their own, the paper planes were strung together to make a mobile for the couple's nursery.
"The travel and Petit Rattle theme were perfectly blended for an elegant baby event," Hebert says. "On that same note, we chose the Sea Fever print for Baby R's nursery because it went along with the travel theme."

Surrounded by her group of girlfriends, Hebert opened her pile of presents, including a onesie adorned with a red rose, a blanket from Little Giraffe, a teddy bear and a blue anchor sun hat — which the mom-to-be happily tried on herself.
Before guests headed home, Hebert and her gal pals were gifted luxe travel bags from Henri Bendel.

The couple aren't done traveling just yet: they recently packed their bags and moved from New Jersey to their new home in Florida.
"My most cherished moments were the ones we were able to spend with our family and friends for the last time all together in New York City," Hebert shares. "Our move even goes along with the travel theme!"

And with the big move behind them, the mom-to-be is focusing on her future. "I am most looking forward to spending some quiet, quality time with my little baby boy and my big baby boy," she says.
"I keep telling J.P. that I daydream about giving Baby R a bath, lathering him with lotion, then putting him in the cutest sleeper and rocking him to sleep."
She jokingly adds, "I'm not sure if it will all happen as peacefully as I imagine, but I can't wait to find out!"

Dean's Lecture to Focus on Constitutional Interpretation and Policymaking
ONU Law will present the 2013 Dean's Lecture on Friday, April 26, at 4:20 p.m. in the Small Moot Court Room. The program will feature a presentation by Dr. Mark Miller, director of the Law and Society Program and professor of political science at Clark University, called "Constitutional Interpretation and Policymaking: Courts, the President, and Congress in Dialogue."
Miller graduated from ONU in 1980 with a Bachelor of Arts in public administration and political science. He holds a Ph.D. in political science from Ohio State University and a J.D. from the George Washington University College of Law. He is a former judicial fellow at the U.S. Supreme Court and a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Leiden. His current research interests include the interactions between Congress and the courts, constitutional law issues involving the powers of Congress, and comparisons of judicial politics in North America and Western Europe.
The Governance as Dialogue Movement argues that the U.S. Supreme Court does not necessarily have the last word on interpreting the U.S. Constitution. Instead, constitutional meaning comes out of an inter-institutional conversation among the courts, the Congress, the president and other political actors. This lecture will examine some of the recent interactions between the Congress and the federal courts on the one hand, and between the president and the federal courts on the other, as each institution attempts to participate in the constitutional dialogue. At times, the relationships between the courts and the other institutions are cooperative, but sometimes they are highly conflictual.
While the federal courts, and especially the U.S. Supreme Court, are clearly political policymakers in our separation of powers system, their decision-making is different from the other branches because the courts must justify their decisions using legal analysis and legal reasoning. The lecture will explore how Governance as Dialogue scholars analyze these institutional interactions.
This event is open to the public.

Miscellaneous Topics
From MeritBadgeDotOrg
Scout Spirit, Active, Special Needs, Eagle Projects, Scoutmaster Conferences,
Boards of Review, Appeals, Courts of Honor, Time Extensions, and more.
| The official source for the information shown in this article or section is:
Guide To Advancement, 2011 Edition (BSA Supply SKU #637685)
A number of topics are common to all phases of the scouting program. These subjects are discussed individually in order to form a handy guide for the council and district advancement committees as well as for the unit leader and unit committee.
Extended Absence From Scouting
Many times Scouts become active again after dropping from other units because of other interests, moving within the community, or relocating to another part of the country. Youth who were members of a ''dropped'' unit also may become active again.
A proper term for such a Scout is ''separated- reregistered.'' When this happens, the tenure for a Scout's rank is often questioned.
Upon reregistration, the youth should assume the last attained rank verified by documentation from the council service center. His previous verifiable service time in that rank applies toward qualification for the next rank and should commence with his reregistration and with guidelines set down by his new unit leader.
Lone Scouting
There are many boys of Cub Scout and Boy Scout age who, because they live in isolated areas or because of disabilities, do not have the opportunity to be a member of a traditional Cub Scout pack or Boy Scout troop. These boys can apply to the local council service center to become a Lone Cub Scout or a Lone Boy Scout.
A Lone Scout works with a designated Lone Scout Friend and Counselor. This friend is responsible for the Scout's learning, testing, and reviewing, and for awarding his badges.
Lone Scouts may meet monthly (or less frequently) with others in the area. These meetings may provide the opportunity to give additional instruction and counseling so that the boy has a better chance to advance. This also is an excellent time to award him his rank and recognize his achievements.
Advancement Procedure
Lone Scouts are not registered with a Cub Scout pack or a Boy Scout troop, and must rely on their Lone Scout Friend and Counselor for leadership and guidance. They are not expected to meet the specific advancement requirements in the same way a member of a regular pack or troop does.
The Boy Scouts of America allows the Lone Scout Friend and Counselor to suggest alternative requirements. This is important, since the boy cannot meet all the advancement requirements because he is not in a unit.
All such alternative requirements should be equal to the replaced requirement. Alternative requirements must be approved by the local council advancement committee. Any unequal or dissimilar requirement should be allowed only in extreme circumstances, or when such like requirements could not be met without extreme hazard or hardship to the boy. See the Lone Scout Friend and Counselor Guidebook, No. 14-420A, for more details.
Youth of Other Nationalities
A youth from another country who either temporarily resides in, or has moved permanently to, the United States may join a BSA unit and participate in the BSA advancement program. He must present to the council ser vice center available evidence of membership and advancement level from his previous association. Having done this, he then must appear before the district or council advancement committee with at least one member of the receiving unit committee present to review his previous advancement work and to determine which BSA rank he is qualified to receive. This policy applies to all ranks except Eagle Scout. The BSA rank of Eagle Scout cannot automatically be considered the equivalent of another association's highest rank. A Boy Scout who holds his association's highest rank could qualify for the rank of Life Scout, and the district or council advancement committee should prescribe certain merit badges for him to earn before consideration for the rank of Eagle Scout. He must also fulfill all other requirements for the rank of Eagle Scout.
This policy also applies to members of the BSA who, while living abroad, have earned advancement in another Scouting association.

I have plenty of mechanical experience, but no experience working in commercial HVAC. I am interested in learning as much as I can in this field. I would gladly take a position as a helper if it afforded me the opportunity to join a local union. Is there anyone out there who can point me in the right direction? I have applied for many jobs and haven't gotten any responses. Thanks

Irrigation Management
Irrigation water in Carbon County is a limiting resource. Due to the poor quality of almost all groundwater in the county and low annual precipitation, livestock, culinary and crop production water are dependent on excess precipitation, particularly snow, from higher elevations. The primary claim on water in the Price River Drainage is for agricultural purposes. During years when snowpack is average or above there is sufficient water to meet the needs of all water users in the County. When snowpack is significantly below average accumulations water users need to be more conservation minded.
For homeowners this may mean making sure water for lawns and gardens is rationed or at least the delivery systems are properly maintained and operated. Homeowners should have an irrigation system audit done on a regular basis. Click here for a link to an Excel spreadsheet that will do the mathematical calculations for a sprinkler system check. If you have an older version of Excel click here. For more information about sprinkler system audits contact your local County Extension Office.
For businesses this may mean a rationing of water or implementing water conservation practices. It is critical for all residents to use water efficiently and effectively.
For agriculture producers this may mean installing more efficient irrigation systems and/or running the systems more efficiently.
This first link is to an Irrigation Field Guide developed by Carbon County Extension Agent, Ron Patterson, to help irrigators keep records of irrigation and field practices. This information was originally designed to be carried in a pocket so as to be handy for record keeping and informational purposes. For information on how to obtain the pocket-sized version contact the Carbon County Extension Office at 435-636-3233.
This second link is to an Irrigation Scheduling Program developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to help crop irrigators determine the best average time to irrigate specific crops in a given geographic area. The irrigation scheduling program, used in conjunction with the irrigation field guide, can help producers avoid wasting water and improve profitability of their operation.

|I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
the bright blessed day, dark sacred night
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
the colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying "how do you do?"
they're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
they'll learn much more than I'll ever know
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world

[caption id="attachment_1708" align="alignnone" width="300" caption=" NOLVADEX FOR SALE, Ricky Stenhouse (6) and Carl Edwards slide across the finish line after crashing at the end of the NASCAR Nationwide Series U.S. NOLVADEX online cod, Cellular 250 at Iowa Speedway. (Photo by Jason Smith/Getty Images for NASCAR)"][/caption]
The day after Saturday's wild finish to the NASCAR Nationwide Series U.S. Cellular 250 — Ricky Stenhouse Jr., purchase NOLVADEX, Online buying NOLVADEX hcl, and Carl Edwards crashing just yards from the start/finish line, with the collision pushing Stenhouse across the line first — brings some lingering questions about what comes next for the track's relationship with the series, NOLVADEX natural.
• Will there be two NNS races at the track next season? NASCAR hasn't released its schedule yet, but there's no reason why there won't be, NOLVADEX FOR SALE. Ordering NOLVADEX online, Both events were well-attended — there were less fans at the May race, but they didn't have the temporary seating available for the race, NOLVADEX no rx. Where can i cheapest NOLVADEX online, And both were good shows.
NASCAR seems very comfortable in its relationship with Iowa Speedway, get NOLVADEX, NOLVADEX price, coupon, and there's no doubt it will continue.
• That said, NOLVADEX from canada, Fast shipping NOLVADEX, will there be any Sprint Cup drivers competing? Only two were at Saturday's race — Edwards and Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne. NOLVADEX FOR SALE, Still, that didn't keep the crowd down.
What will be interesting is to see what the future brings, taking NOLVADEX. NOLVADEX dangers, Car owner Jack Roush's words after the race seemed to indicate that he didn't want Edwards racing in Nationwide Series events that weren't held at tracks where there are Sprint Cup Series events going on the same weekend.
If next year's schedule of races at Iowa Speedway is similar to this year's, NOLVADEX samples, Purchase NOLVADEX online no prescription, Edwards would likely race at the May race — it came the day after the All-Star Race in Charlotte — but not the August race. He had to fly from Pocono after Saturday's qualifying, buy cheap NOLVADEX, Purchase NOLVADEX online, and flew back after the race to compete in today's Sprint Cup Series race.
Brad Keselowski seems to have his car owner's blessing to race full-time in both series, but if he becomes a serious contender for the Chase in the Sprint Cup Series, will that continue, NOLVADEX FOR SALE.
• So, buy NOLVADEX from canada, Discount NOLVADEX, would the field have more Sprint Cup drivers if Iowa Speedway got Nashville's Nationwide Series date? With Nashville out of the picture for future events, one bone NASCAR could toss Iowa Speedway is a July date on what is the Sprint Cup Series off weekend, NOLVADEX pharmacy. NOLVADEX forum, Nashville had that race this year, on a Saturday night, NOLVADEX no prescription, Rx free NOLVADEX, but the field was similar to the Iowa Speedway races — Edwards, Keselowski and Bayne were the only Sprint Cup drivers there as well, order NOLVADEX no prescription. NOLVADEX street price, • What about the rest of Iowa Speedway's schedule for next season? All of the major series that race there still haven't released their 2012 schedules.
There's been talk of an IndyCar Series doubleheader — one race on a Saturday night, NOLVADEX class, My NOLVADEX experience, then one on Sunday afternoon. NOLVADEX FOR SALE, Expect the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series to come back as well. Could that be a weekend doubleheader with the Nationwide Series, NOLVADEX gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release. It's possible, but the track likes having four weekends of racing, and making the CWTS the main event for one of those weekends certainly pleases NASCAR.
• A Sprint Cup date? Don't hold your breath.
Not because it wouldn't be a great race, not because it wouldn't bring in an impressive crowd, not because the track would have to deal with logistical issues.
The reality is, there's no date available, NOLVADEX FOR SALE. The Sprint Cup Series schedule is packed, and no track, at least for the time being, seems to be close to losing a date — although you can make the case that one less Pocono race would eliminate one boring event.
And, as I pointed out last night, NASCAR will want to make absolutely sure — especially after the Kentucky Speedway traffic debacle — that a new track can handle such an event.
There are traffic and parking issues that Iowa Speedway officials would have to work out for a Sprint Cup event. Plus, a sponsor for a race would have to be found and seating capacity would have to be expanded.
It's a chicken-and-egg thing. Does Iowa Speedway make all of those plans and then hope for a Sprint Cup race, or does NASCAR give Iowa Speedway a date before those plans are completed.
It's a moot point until a date becomes available. Until then, Iowa Speedway still has an impressive schedule of events.

As expected, American Crossroads, the largest Republican super PAC during the 2012 general election, has announced that it will also become a player in Republican Senate primaries in the upcoming cycle. The Karl Rove-led group explained, via its president Steven Law:
There is a broad concern about having blown a significant number of races because the wrong candidates were selected. We don't view ourselves as being in the incumbent protection business, but we want to pick the most conservative candidate who can win.
The New York Times provided a more provocative spin:
The biggest donors in the Republican Party are financing a new group to recruit seasoned candidates and protect Senate incumbents from challenges by far-right conservatives and Tea Party enthusiasts who Republican leaders worry could complicate the party's efforts to win control of the Senate.
The merits of American Crossroads' move turn on the difference between these two descriptions of its mission. If, as the Times says, the purpose is to protect incumbents from all challenges from "far right conservatives" and "Tea Party enthusiasts," then the project is ill-conceived. So-called "far right conservatives" and/or Tea Party backed candidates have shown they can prevail even, when conditions are right, in non-Red States, and then become good conservative Senators (see Ron Johnson in Wisconsin).
But American Crossroads says its purpose is not to protect incumbents but rather to support the most conservative candidate who can win (i.e., to apply the "Buckley rule"). That project makes sense, at least in theory.
I don't mean to suggest that Karl Rove and his fellows at Crossroads will be able infallibly to apply "the Buckley rule." Rove's track record is mixed, as are the track records of other national organizations such as the Club for Growth and the Tea Party Express. But American Crossroads will, I believe, have a built-in "sagacity advantage" over groups that simply reject or ignore "the Buckley rule," as the Tea Party Express seemed to do when it supported Christine O'Donnell in the 2010 Delaware primary.
Beyond that, we will have to wait and see whether American Crossroads (1) is true to its mission statement and (2) makes good judgments in practice. As a general matter, though, I find its intervention in GOP Senate primaries no less appropriate than that of other national organizations such as the aforementioned Club for Growth and Tea Party Express.
My hope is that the events of the past 8 years have made each of these groups wiser, and that the expression during GOP primaries of their disparate points of view (hopefully not as disparate as the New York Times supposes) will produce better Senate candidates.

About this leaflet
This leaflet may be helpful if:
It includes:
They are a range of medications that are used
for some types of mental distress or disorder - mainly schizophrenia and
manic depression (bipolar
disorder). They can also be used to help severe
anxiety or depression.
They all affect the action of a number of
chemicals in the brain called
neurotransmitters – chemicals which brain cells need to
communicate with each other. Dopamine is the main neurotransmitter
affected by these medications. It is involved in how we feel:
It is also involved in the control of muscle
If parts of the dopamine system become
overactive, they seem to play a part in producing hallucinations,
delusions and thought disorder.
Although these medications were known as
'major tranquillisers' in the past, they are not designed to make
you calmer or sleepy – so they are not the same as medications like
Valium or sleeping tablets.
The basic aim is to help you feel better,
without making you feel slowed down or drowsy. However, high doses
may well make you feel too sleepy or 'drugged up'. They can be used
in higher doses if you become very overactive, agitated or
distressed - but this should usually only be for a short time.
For the past 10 years or so doctors have
talked about two different groups of antipsychotics:
Recent large independent research studies -
not paid for by the drug companies – suggest that the new drugs are
not really different – but are, in some situations, easier to
Most antipsychotics seem to be equally as good
at controlling psychotic symptoms – Clozapine is the exception and
is described later. Even so, individuals react differently to them,
particularly with the side-effects. We cannot predict how well a
particular person will respond to a particular drug – even whether
a newer, or older drug, will be more helpful. It can often
take some time, negotiation and 'trial and error' to find the best
antipsychotic for a particular person.
Older antipsychotics: these
first appeared in the mid-1950s. These older drugs are often called
'typical' or 'first-generation' antipsychotics. They all block the
action of dopamine (see above), some more strongly than others.
Side-effects include:
If you have any of these symptoms, you
are probably on too high a dose. It should usually be reduced until
the side-effects disappear. If you do need a higher dose to stay
well, these side-effects can be controlled with anticholinergic
drugs - used to treat Parkinson's disease. Orphenadrine and
Procyclidine are the two most commonly used anticholinergics in the
A longer-term problem is tardive dyskinesia
(TD for short) – continual movements of the mouth, tongue and
jaw. This affects about 1 in 20 people every year who are
taking these medications.
Some older, 'typical'
Usual daily

Max. daily dose
Newer antipsychotics : over
the last 10 years, newer medications have appeared. They still
block dopamine, but much less so than the older drugs. They also
work on different chemical messengers in the brain (such as
serotonin) and are often called 'atypical' or 'second-generation'
antipsychotics. This is misleading - they have many of the same
effects as the older drugs.
The newer antipsychotics are also being used to help treat some
people's depression. There is growing evidence that this can be
effective when combined with an antidepressant. Your psychiatrist
will talk to you if this is an option to consider.
Compared to the older drugs they seem:
They may also help 'negative symptoms' (poor
motivation, lack of interest, poor self-care), on which the older
drugs have very little effect. Some people find the side
effects less troublesome than those of the older medications.
Some of the newer 'atypical'
Clozapine: seems to be
the only antipsychotic medication which works better than any of
the others. It also seems to reduce suicidal feelings in people
with schizophrenia.
It has many of the same side-effects as other
newer antipsychotics, but can also make you produce more
It is different in that it seems to have very
little, if any, effect on the dopamine systems which control
movement, and so causes hardly any of the stiffness, shakiness or
slowness that you can get with other antipsychotics. Although it
does tend to make you drowsy, some people are prepared to put up
with this because it makes them feel less sluggish than on the
older antipsychotics. It also does not seem to produce the
longer-term problem of tardive dyskinesia and can be used to help
relieve this.
The main drawback is that it can affect your
bone marrow, leading to a shortage of white cells. This makes you
vulnerable to infection. If this happens, the medication is stopped
at once so that the bone marrow can recover. So, if you take
Clozapine you will need weekly blood tests for the first 6 months
and 2 weekly blood tests after that. It can also cause weight
gain, constipation, over-production of saliva and make
epileptic fits more likely.
These problems mean that Clozapine is usually
only suggested after at least two other antipsychotics have been
tried. It is a difficult drug to monitor and can be difficult to
take, but some people find that overall it gives them a much
better quality of life.
The word 'depot' means that the medication is
given not as tablets, but as an injection every 2 to 4 weeks. It
releases the medication slowly over this time. The effects are
generally the same as medications taken by mouth.
What's good about having a depot
Unlike tablets, you only have to think about
it once in a while. As there is someone else to remind you, it can
be easier to remember to take than tablets.
What's bad about having depot
How are the injections
Where can you have the injections
You can usually decide yourself where to have
the injections. This might be:
Some common depot
Normal 2-weekly dose
Haloperidol decanoate
4 weeks
Flupenthixol decanoate
2 weeks
Fluphenazine decanoate
Pipothiazine palmitate
Zuclopenthixol decanoate
Risperdal Consta
There is work in progress to make new depot
medications from the second generation antipsychotics and these may
be available soon.
This depends on a number of factors.
If you have had just one episode of
schizophrenia, you have roughly 1 in 4 chance that your
symptoms will not return after you get better. So you may well not
need to carry on taking an antipsychotic.
For most people with schizophrenia, the
symptoms will continue or come and go over the years. Some things
to consider are:
Bipolar disorders will almost always return
although, during the first episode, it is hard to predict how often
this will happen.
The symptoms will usually come back - not
immediately, but usually within 3 – 6 months.
If you decide you want to stop taking an
antipsychotic, talk it over with your psychiatrist. You and the
psychiatrist may disagree about this, but there is a way that can
help both sides to feel happier. You can:
Antipsychotics are not addictive, but your body does get used to
having them in its system and stopping them suddenly may make you
feel physically and/or mentally unwell. If you decide to stop,
reduce the medication gradually, giving each reduction a few weeks
to take effect.
This means that your symptoms are not likely
to suddenly return. If they do start to get worse again, you can
think about what to do next while you are still well.
If you do stop medication completely, keep in touch with your
psychiatrist or mental health worker, even if you have been well
for a few months without medication.
The evidence is very clear that nothing else
works as well as antipsychotic medications in the treatment of the
more troublesome symptoms of psychotic illnesses. For many
people, antipsychotics alone are not enough to get them back to a
full and active life. Other ways of helping will usually be added
to antipsychotic treatment rather than replacing it. These
This is a talking treatment which can be helpful if you have
distressing psychotic symptoms. It can help you to control them and
to feel less distressed by them. It can also be used to help
you identify if your symptoms are returning again.
This helps you to find out more about your disorder, how to
manage it and the treatments available. The purpose is to help
everyone (including families) understand the illness better so that
they can cope better and be more supportive.
Professionals will meet with the whole family. The aims are:
We know that these tensions can make it more likely that the
symptoms will get worse.
People who have
similar experiences of hearing voices get together to discuss their
experiences and how they cope with them.
Not all of these are available in all areas,
and they may not be helpful for everybody – if you feel that one of
these might be helpful for you, talk it over with your psychiatrist
or mental health worker.
There are no antipsychotics that are clearly 'better' than any
others. Clozapine is more effective, but has potentially dangerous
side-effects and means that you have to have regular blood
NICE guidelines (England and Wales) suggest that one of the
newer antipsychotics should be tried first and then one of the
older ones, depending on how well the medication works for
you, and any side-effects they give you.
The best thing is to weigh up the benefits and risks of the
different medications with your psychiatrist. Write down the things
you are worried about before the appointment so that you don't
forget anything important.

Celebrity hairstylist Cervando created the hair look for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at the 2013 Golden Globes. He went for a modern, chic hairstyle, inspired by the fashion runways of Paris. Rosie's hair gives an effortless elegance to her Saint Laurent Paris gown.
Here's how Cervando created Rosie's look:
1.First start by prepping wet hair with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Repair & Finish Spray to protect hair while blow-drying it.
2.Rough blow dry hair until it's 75% dry. Starting at the nape of the neck, blow dry hair in small sections using a medium sized boar bristle round brush.
3.Starting at the part, twist hair along the hairline until the temple, and then create a small roll. Place a small metal hairpin in the roll to build height. Spray the area with Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extra Firm Hold Hairspray and let it set for 20 minutes, allowing the hair to take form around the pin. Remove pin and spritz with hairspray for control.
4.Apply a small amount of Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extreme Smooth Combing Crème to smooth hair and tame flyaways.
5.To finish, sweep hair over one shoulder and spray Vidal Sassoon Pro Series Extra Firm Hold Hairspray to hold in place while leaving it with lots of natural movement.

Key U.S. senators announce deal on background checks for gun buyersBy JOHN WHITESIDES and RICHARD COWAN
April 10. 2013 12:06PM
WASHINGTON - A Democratic and a Republican senator said on Wednesday they had struck a deal to expand background checks for gun buyers, boosting prospects for passage in the U.S. Senate of at least some of President Barack Obama's gun-control proposals.
The deal by Democrat Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania set the stage for a likely Senate debate on the gun-control package starting on Thursday, when the Senate is expected to defeat an attempt by conservative Republicans to block the bill from reaching the floor.
The proposal for expanded background checks appears to be Obama's best hope for meaningful gun-control legislation in the aftermath of the December massacre of 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
The senators said their measure would expand criminal background checks for prospective gun buyers to include sales made at gun shows and online, although sales among friends or family members would still be exempt from the requirement.
The agreement, which the senators said would help keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and the mentally ill, would close one major loophole in a system that analysts say allows as many as 40 percent of gun buyers to avoid background checks.
More controversial parts of the president's plan - such as a ban on rapid-firing "assault" weapons like the one used in Connecticut and limits on the capacity of ammunition magazines - appear to have a slim chance of clearing the U.S. Senate.
Even if the Senate passes a package of gun-control measures, it would still face a tough road to approval in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
"Today is just the start of a healthy debate that must end with the Senate and House hopefully passing these common sense measures and the president signing them into law," Manchin told reporters in announcing the agreement on Capitol Hill.
He said Democratic leaders have promised the background checks agreement will be the first amendment offered to the gun-control bill on the Senate floor.
Obama's proposals to curb gun violence have been strongly opposed by the powerful gun lobby the National Rifle Association, which did not immediately respond to the agreement.
The president's plan has been the focus of intense lobbying by gun-rights supporters such as the NRA and by gun-control advocates such as Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a group backed by Michael Bloomberg, the media magnate and New York City mayor.
Obama, who has described the day of the Dec. 14 Newtown shooting as the worst of his presidency, has used a campaign-style approach to pushing for gun-control legislation. No major gun-control legislation has passed the U.S. Congress since 1994.
Several family members of victims from the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown flew to Washington on Air Force One on Monday to urge lawmakers to take action, and First Lady Michelle Obama was scheduled to give a speech on guns on Wednesday.
Manchin's participation in the deal on background checks could bolster the prospects for the legislation. The freshman senator from West Virginia represents a state where gun ownership has long been passionately protected and where attempts to regulate guns have been strongly opposed.
Toomey, a conservative Republican from Pennsylvania, said he did not believe expanding background checks amounted to gun control.
"It's common sense," he said. "What matters to me is doing the right thing, and this is the right thing."
Senators Mark Kirk of Illinois, a Republican, and Chuck Schumer of New York, a Democrat, also participated in the negotiations.
On Thursday, the Senate is scheduled to hold its first test vote on a gun-control bill. More than a dozen conservative Republican senators have threatened a filibuster aimed at preventing consideration of any gun restrictions.
But with public opinion polls showing up to 90 percent of Americans favor expanded background checks, other Republicans have said Obama's proposals should get a Senate vote.
The measure likely to pass the Senate could also include funding for school security and tighter restrictions on gun trafficking.
That package would fall short of what Obama had pressed for, but would be far more extensive than the NRA would like.

Older adults often take a number of medications including prescription drugs, over the counter medications, vitamins, herbal supplements, personally concocted home remedies and more. Though medications often provide powerful benefits throughout the lifespan, natural age-related changes and challenges cause differences in how drugs are absorbed, metabolized and excreted. The mix of aging and medications pose increased risk for adverse drug events (ADE) including reactions, interactions, over-dose, poisoning and even death. The following facts remind us of the seriousness of safety issues posed by the older adult-aging-medication connection:
The CDC considers ADEs, to be a "large public health concern".4 Annually, ADEs cause significant problems for older adults and many challenges to the health care system including:
Health professionals need to be hyper-vigilant in recognizing age-related factors that contribute to the increased potential for "medication mishaps" in older adults (e.g., complicated regimes, discomfort asking questions, lack of med. knowledge, living alone, memory problems; poor vision and unsafe habits - alcohol use, sorting, taking).6 As a reminder, we share the following evidence-based guidelines to help enhance medication safety for older adults: 7
Each visit with a health professional needs to include education about: the 5 Rs (right drug, right time, right place, right amount, and right route), reporting side effects immediately, and keeping an updated list of medications (e.g., wallet card).

In anticipation of Saturday's release of the iPad — which doesn't run Flash — Apple has published a list of "iPad Ready" websites.
The sites are all big league sluggers like CNN, The New York Times, People Magazine and MLB.com. Surprisingly, there are also a few video-heavy sites in the mix (Vimeo, Flickr, and TED) which would traditionally rely on Flash Player for video playback.
And why would Apple ever ease up? The more the web relies on open technologies, the more iPad buyers will be able to do with their shiny new devices, and the more satisfied they will be.
In the two months since the iPad was announced, Apple has been waging a campaign urging web developers to stop using Adobe Flash Player and to use HTML5 for video playback instead. But while the most forward-looking developers are rushing to optimize their websites for Flash-less mobiles and tablets, many are wary of embracing open video whole hog. There's no agreed-upon video format for HTML5, and the support varies greatly from browser to browser.
It puts developers in a pickle: build a killer video experience for Apple devices, but leave Firefox, IE and Opera users out (Google Chrome offers different support on different platforms).
Some are going the route of falling back on Flash for any users not browsing with Safari. But that path — coding multiple versions of a website for multiple browsers — is precisely what developers have been trying to avoid for the last decade. It also opens up a can of patent license worms.
It's also important to note that HTML5 isn't just for video playback. It's a substantial redesign of the way web pages are assembled (with an emphasis on semantic markup), and it includes various APIs for building full-blown web applications.
Not to be overly critical of Apple — anyone pushing for open web standards deserves kudos — but the company seems more deeply concerned with digging Flash's grave than it does with promoting semantic markup. The page on Apple's website mentions HTML5 ten times, and nine of those mentions refer explicitly to video playback.
Apple has posted some technical guides at the bottom of the page to help "ensure that your website looks and works great on the iPad." It also has a form you can fill out to submit your site for its gallery of iPad-ready sites.

Sprint Nextel Corp., whose investors backed a takeover by SoftBank Corp. yesterday after an eight-month fight, is now preparing to use the firepower of its soon- to-be parent company to target Verizon Wireless and AT&T Inc.
The company stands to get about $5 billion from Tokyo-based SoftBank to help bolster its network and make acquisitions. While Sprint would have received more cash under a previous agreement that was changed to increase the payout to investors, the long-struggling company now has the wherewithal to better challenge its larger rivals.
"Now that the drama of the battle for Sprint has ended, SoftBank can focus on building a better wireless-data network that is needed to compete with AT&T and Verizon," said Walt Piecyk, an analyst at BTIG LLC in New York.
Sprint, a distant third to Verizon and AT&T in the U.S. wireless market, is counting on a speedy new LTE network to win over customers and bring service to a range of devices. For SoftBank, a Japanese carrier with global ambitions, the idea is to apply its expertise in building fourth-generation networks and use Sprint as the stepping stone to a mobile-phone empire.
The combined company will be the sixth-largest telecommunications company globally by revenue and the second- biggest among mobile Internet carriers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Sprint shareholders overwhelmingly approved the $21.6 billion deal at a meeting yesterday, with about 98% of the votes cast favoring the transaction. SoftBank, which has three of the four regulatory approvals needed to do the Sprint deal, still requires a final nod from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.
More Competitive
"Sprint will be in a stronger competitive position, with greater financial flexibility, increased scale and additional industry knowledge and perspective," said Scott Sloat, a spokesman for Overland Park, Kansas-based Sprint.
Mark Siegel, a spokesman for Dallas-based AT&T, declined to comment on the threat from Sprint following the merger. Brenda Raney, a spokeswoman for Basking Ridge, New Jersey-based Verizon Wireless, also declined to comment.
Sprint shares rose less than 1 percent to $6.94 at 9:58 a.m. in New York. The stock had gained 21 percent this year, as of yesterday, lifted by the bidding war. SoftBank fell 0.2 percent to 5,420 yen at the close of trading in Tokyo, paring its gain this year to 73 percent.

CLEVELAND — What a difference 24 hours made for the Rockford IceHogs. A night after a dominating 5-2 win over the Lake Erie Monsters, the Monsters gave it back to Rockford on Saturday, topping the IceHogs 5-1 at the Quicken Loans Arena.
Lake Erie claimed the game's first goal when Karl Stollery beat Antti Raanta with a point shot at 3:17.
Lake Erie outshot Rockford 13-0 over the first five minutes. Overall in the frame, Lake Erie outshot Rockford 20-4, a night after Rockford outshot the Monster 19-6 in the first period and led 3-0.
Even after Rockford finally got a couple of opportunities on Sami Aittokallio, the Monsters sustained their momentum and pushed their lead to 2-0. On a power play, Andrew Aggozino cleaned up a pretty pass from Bryan Lerg at 12:12 for his first goal of the season.
In the second period, Rockford's hole was dug deeper after J.T. Wyman snuck his first goal of the season under Raanta at 3:55, making it 3-0. Another crack on the power play made it 4-0 Monsters later in the stanza. Mark Olver tipped a Matt Hunwick shot past Raanta for his second marker of the season at 14:33.
Rockford made it a 4-1 game in the third period with a power play goal. Alex Broadhurst set up Brad Mills at 3:18 and the center buried his second goal of the season. Mills has points in all four of Rockford's games in 2013-14 so far.
Looking to reduce the gap to two goals with another power play opportunity, Rockford pulled Raanta at 13:19 of the third period, but Lake Erie won the faceoff and Lerg buried the short-handed empty net tally at 13:25.
Rockford was outshot 36-31 in the contest.
