Hello everyone!! I have a 10 month old son who is refusing to nurse during the day. For the past 3 months or so he has completely stopped nursing on the left side, only nursing on the right. Here lately he has been refusing to nurse on the right. We went to his 9 month appointment, and he hadn't gained much weight from his 6 month appointment; he only weighed 17.8 lbs at 9 months.
I saw that he hadn't gained much weight, so I now give him bottles of pumped milk when he refuses to nurse for a full feeding. I hate that he is refusing the right side now. He only like to nurse if its the middle of the night, or he just woke up from a nap. He won't nurse before his naps anymore.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do? I have noticed an increase in his weight now that I have been giving him bottles.
We feed him baby food, and have been trying to start finger foods. He ends up wearing 9% of the fresh fruits and veggies we give him. Any Ideas on when he will learn to SWALLOW his food rather than gum it and spit it out? He is like a little chipmunk, he crams as much in as he can, and then spits it all out. Hahaha
Thanks LAdies!!

Expert: 'Mini tornado' caused skydiver death
CALVERTON, N.Y. (AP) — A safety expert for a national skydiving association says a "mini tornado" caused the accident that killed a correction officer and injured his instructor during a tandem jump.
Gary Messina died in the accident Wednesday afternoon at Skydive Long Island in Calverton. His instructor, Christopher Scott, was critically injured.
Rich Winstock tells Newsday (http://nwsdy.li/1zzHqPX ) wind and dust churned into a funnel and made it impossible to control the parachute. Winstock is director of the United States Parachute Association and chairs its safety and training committee.
The FAA is investigating. It had no information Thursday about the accident's cause.
The National Weather Service said winds were in the 5- to 15-mph range at the time of the jump.
Messina would have turned 26 on Thursday.

|"You are really able to put your skills to the test to help control potentially devastating diseases…the kind of outbreaks you read about in history books."
Dr. Jane Ridky
What is the National Animal Health Emergency Response Corps (NAHERC)?
When an animal health emergency occurs, an immediate response is necessary to protect both animals and people. The United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will look to many sources to obtain the veterinary personnel needed to help meet the critical staffing needs of such an emergency.
In 2001, APHIS established the NAHERC to respond to exotic disease outbreaks and other disasters which affect livestock, poultry, companion animals, and wildlife. More volunteers are urgently needed to assure a decisive response to any potential animal health crises.

HAZLEHURST, Ga. — Atlanta. June 1936. A few patches of the horse-and-buggy Old South remained as the once slow-moving city first named Terminus and then Marthasville began emerging into the glass-towered mega-metropolis that it is today.
But during that summer, a big book titled "Gone With the Wind" was published by a little lady named Margaret Mitchell — she stood just under 5 feet tall — and perhaps for one of the first times the Civil War was told from a woman's perspective.
Three years later in 1939, the silver-screen version of the book heated up movie theaters with scenes such as the burning of Atlanta and the smooching between Scarlett O'Hara and her rascally beau, Rhett Butler.
Even today, plenty of Southerners have never really considered the book or the movie as fiction. Some would even call it, in the Southern lexicon, the gospel truth.
But no matter if it's partly fact or mostly fiction, today you can follow the recently designated Gone With the Wind Trail through Georgia on a voyage to discover the history, legacy, and legend behind the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and complex life of its author.
From Kennesaw and Marietta north of Atlanta and then to the heart of the city and finally south to Jonesboro, home of the fictional Tara, the trail identifies an established route of key sites connected to "Gone With the Wind."
"The lure of Southern belles, dashing gentlemen, and antebellum architecture act as a magnet to countless numbers of national and international tourists each year," says Theresa Jenkins, executive director of the Marietta Visitors Bureau.
The Gone With the Wind Museum in Marietta is a personal favorite stop on the trail. Located in an 1875 former cotton warehouse, the museum is a veritable circus of memorabilia from the private collection of Dr. Christopher Sullivan of Akron, Ohio.
Among the items, the piece d'resistance is the original Bengaline honeymoon gown worn by Vivien Leigh and one of only eight original costumes still known to exist.
Near Marietta is Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park that pays homage to the tumultuous 1864 battle where Confederate soldiers temporarily stopped the Yankees' advance toward Atlanta.
The trail goes on to Atlanta, where the Margaret Mitchell House & Museum is cocooned by the towering skyline of the city. Mitchell lived here, at the time the Crescent Apartments, with her husband, John Marsh, while she wrote the novel.
She named the tiny apartment that they called home "the dump," but today it is listed the National Register of Historic Places and operated by the Atlanta History Center.
Also downtown is the Atlanta-Fulton County Public Library, which has one of the most extensive collections of Mitchell's photographs, books and personal items in existence, in total about 1,500 pieces, including her 1937 Pulitzer Prize and the Remington typewriter she used to pound out the book.
Not far away is Oakland Cemetery, Mitchell's final resting place.
Other in-town stops are the Atlanta History Center, which has one of the largest Civil War exhibitions in the nation, and the Atlanta Cyclorama and Museum, with its three-dimensional panorama that realistically depicts the 1864 Battle of Atlanta.
As much as everyone wants to believe that Tara, the O'Hara plantation that figured so prominently in the storyline, was real, the grand home existed only Mitchell's imagination. But you can visit Stately Oaks Plantation in Jonesboro built in 1839 to get a sense of what living in the antebellum South was about.
All the attractions are open year-round.
Whether you consider yourself a "Windie" — a dyed-in-the-wool, always faithful fan of anything "Gone With the Wind" — or if you've only once seen the movie or read the book, you'll appreciate the efforts to keep the memory of Georgia's most beloved story alive.
Don't expect to see the trail all in one day, though. Take your time. Because as Scarlett O'Hara herself reminds us, "After all, tomorrow is another day."
On the Gone With the Wind Trail
HAZLEHURST, Ga. — Atlanta. June 1936. A few patches of the horse-and-buggy Old South remained as the once slow-moving city first named Terminus and then Marthasville began emerging into the glass-towered mega-metropolis that it is today.

#1 Al Jazeera Seeks a U.S. Voice Where Gore Failed01-02-2013, 11:59 PM
Wednesday, January 2, 2013
By BRIAN STELTER
9:16 p.m. | Updated Al Jazeera, the pan-Arab news giant, has long tried to convince Americans that it is a legitimate news organization, not a parrot of Middle Eastern propaganda or something more sinister.
It just bought itself 40 million more chances to make its case.
Al Jazeera on Wednesday announced a deal to take over Current TV, the low-rated cable channel that was founded by Al Gore, a former vice president, and his business partners seven years ago. Al Jazeera plans to shut Current and start an English-language channel, which will be available in more than 40 million homes, with newscasts emanating from both New York and Doha, Qatar.May the FORCE be with you!

Liberalism is what the stupid think is smart.
01-03-2013, 12:10 AMWoe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;
Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB
01-03-2013, 08:48 AMAl Jazeera did not disclose the purchase price, but people with direct knowledge of the deal pegged it at around $500 million, indicating a $100 million payout for Mr. Gore, who owned 20 percent of Current. Mr. Gore and his partners were eager to complete the deal by Dec. 31, lest it be subject to higher tax rates that took effect on Jan. 1, according to several people who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. But the deal was not signed until Wednesday.
A spokesman for Al Jazeera said that antitrust regulators had not expressed any objections to the deal.
Going forward, the challenge will be persuading Americans to watch — an extremely tough proposition given the crowded television marketplace and the stereotypes about the channel that persist to this day.
"There are still people who will not watch it, who will say that it's a 'terrorist network,' " said Philip Seib, the author of "The Al Jazeera Effect." "Al Jazeera has to override that by providing quality news."May the FORCE be with you!

I've heard that Time Warner cable has dropped Current TV (and thusly AJ) from its line-up. So much for those 40 million viewers...Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.

" To the world you are just one more person, but to a rescued pet, you are the world."
"A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!"
So, AJ wanted Current TV and it's 6 viewers? It got 'em. Good luck with that. Oh, and just so AJ understands, there is no official state run TV here in the U.S. so in order for you to be successful, you have to rely on your own merits in order to bring in sponsors and for the most part, most sponsors and products here don't take kindly to anti-Americanism so keep that in mind when you can't figure out why your station is failing.The American Left: Where everything is politics and politics is everything.
Time Warner dropped Current. Look for more cable subscribers to do the same. I am calling directv and tell them to drop them. I don't want that anti-american terrorist news organization on my tv!
Of course the obama comment is correct. He will welcome them with open arms. Then when they both think the same and have the same motives. Why wouldn't he?
I love my God, my country, my flag, and my troops ....

'Saturday Night Live' Five-Timers Club: Who's Hosted Five (or More) Shows?
When Ben Affleck hits the stage on "Saturday Night Live" this week, it will mark the fifth time the actor/director has hosted the show. And it will gain him entry into an exclusive club of "SNL" five-timers. The club was first mentioned by Tom Hanks during his fifth hosting gig in 1990 and was the subject of a sketch with other five-timers; the sketch was revived when Justin Timberlake hosted for the fifth time earlier this season. Who else is part of the club?

cookiesFriday, June 06, 2008
I haven't been a total slacker with our Cookie of the Week. It is just that the cookies really haven't turned out that well.
This was last weeks cookie. Well, you know last, last week's cookie. Still wanting to make only slice and bakes, I used a recipe over on Smitten Kitchen. I added dried cranberries, and sprinkled them with powdered sugar. The problem was, that this was all I got out of that batch. I was reading blogs, and totally ignored the timer. Twice. They were delicious, and perfect with coffee. It's a shame my kids don't drink coffee. :)
And this week, I made whole wheat peanut butter slices. Twice. Both times the dough was so dry that when I tried to cut it, it just crumbled into little pieces. Which resulted in odd shaped cookies.
It didn't stop the kids from eating them. But it was totally aggravating. I am going to try to tweak the recipe. If I get it right, I will let you know.

I hate when that happens! I made some oatmeal chocolate chip cookies a few weeks back and the dough was too soft. Even adding flour didn't stiffen up the dough much. The cookies melted on the pan. A week later I tried again but this time I had run out of brown sugar. So, I made some. And that didn't work either. Third time is the charm. Very frustrating especially with a tried and true recipe.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
I'm definitely guilty of not watching the timer when baking cookies. That always gets me:)ReplyDelete
Happy Friday!
The Smitten Kitchen recipe looks great. One of those recipes you can add whatever you have on hand. Thanks for the link. I will have to give them a try.ReplyDelete
What a bummer about the cookies! I have tried cookie recipes that turned out disastrous. I think it is great that you try to tweak them to make them work. I just give up and try something new! Let us know if the Peanut Butter ones work out - I would love to give it a try.ReplyDelete
Have a great weekend!
Wait, cookie of the week is going on summer hiatus? How about 'summer lunch of the week', Leslie? Can you help us out with that one?:)ReplyDelete
I really should make some slice and bakes. I love making cookies, but I get a little tired of pulling batch out of the oven and then dropping the cookies by teaspoons.ReplyDelete
Last week I made chocolate chip meringue cookies. Not bad despite kind of goofing on the recipe.
Leslie!! I am so, so happy that you called me out in Columbus - what a thrill to finally meet you and your mom in person! I hope you guys have (had?) a great trip home - I got in at midnight last night and I'm pooped!ReplyDelete
Cookies are about the only things I can actually make without burni.ng or other mishaps. Love the goodies you recieved, the bag is darlingReplyDelete
I love cookies and I love seeing what you make. I don't bake too many any more because I eat too many.ReplyDelete
Oh Yummo, those look delicious, both of them. Whole wheat pb sounds delish, but I can image a crumbly dough would be difficult.ReplyDelete

One of the costliest mistakes senior leaders make is spending too much time IN the business instead of ON the business.
When senior leaders focus too much time on the technical and tactical aspects of the business, and playing the role of project managers, they fail to look at the strategic aspects of the business and the longer term plan.
This typically results in ambiguity of roles and responsibilities and a lack of alignment.

Pennsylvania clerk loses bid against gay marriage
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. Supreme Court justice has rejected a Pennsylvania county clerk's bid to stop gay marriages in the state while she tries to get standing in a legal case to stop them permanently.
Without comment, Justice Samuel Alito on Wednesday rejected an appeal by Schuylkill County Orphans' Court Clerk Theresa Santai-Gaffney. The clerk can appeal to another justice, however.
Same-sex marriage became legal in Pennsylvania on May 20 when U.S. District Judge John E. Jones III struck down a state ban against the practice. Gov. Tom Corbett's administration decided not to appeal the decision.
The county clerk, however, then tried to intervene. The federal judge and a federal appellate court rebuffed her attempts, prompting her appeal to the Supreme Court.

50 Cent, "Animal Ambition" (G-Unit/Caroline/Capitol Music Group)
50 Cent made a ginormous splash more than a decade ago with his multiplatinum platinum debut "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," pushing out early career hits from "In da Club" to "P.I.M.P."
But the rapper has been unable to live up to his first album's success, which ultimately led to his departure from Interscope Records and Eminem's Shady/Aftermath. He's since found a new home with Caroline, the independent label at Capitol Music Group.
Now, as an independent artist, 50 Cent releases his first album in five years with "Animal Ambition: An Untamed Desire to Win." He often shows rust on his fifth studio offering, but the 11-track set is not a total disappointment.
50 Cent still possesses a high level of cockiness, effectively displaying his street mentality on "The Funeral," ''Chase the Paper" and "Irregular Heartbeat," with Jadakiss and Kidd Kidd. He raps about still keeping a gun under his pillow on "Hold On" and talks about his thirst to become more successful on "Hustler" and "Winners Circle," featuring Guordan Banks.
But while "Animal Ambition" shows some promise, there are some missteps. His rhymes are too simple and easily forgettable on the title track. He teams up with Trey Songz on the Dr. Dre-produced "Smoke," but the track lacks the infectious spirit that lived in past club hits such as "Candy Shop" and "21 Questions."

Congregation Shaari Torah of Flatbush, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Rabbi Louis Schwefel, Congregation Emanuel of Bayonne, N. J.; and Rabbi Morris Silverman, Temple Israel of Washington Heights, New York, N. Y. The Autumn examinations will be held mediately after the Holy Pays on Tues day, October 17. The first public as¬ sembly will be held on Sunday evening, October 29, revolutionized electrical engineering and radio telegraphy, and who is neverthe¬ less little known except among the elec¬ trical engineers whose work his inven¬ tions have made possible and among the government officials who have had oc¬ casion to praise their efficacy. Fofeign-Born This Jewish inventor, whose scien¬ tific contributions have immeasurably aided the prowess and progress of America on land and sea, is like so many Jewish-American patriots, for¬ eign-born. He came to this country from Hungary many years aigo, and in laboratory and workshop/has made the contributions: which bring him in the forefront of American patriots. In his youth he had achieved some success as a portrait figure and landscape painter. Yet he turned from his artistic career to devote many years to painstaking, toil¬ some research in the elcctricaK field. 200 Patent* to His Credit Chief among his electrical discoveries (he has more than two hundred patents to his credit) is Electrose, a material from which were made the first elec¬ trical insulators which could, endure the high voltage required in modern elec¬ trical operation such as radio telegra- on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 26].phy and long-distance transmission of and 27, and instruction will begin im- power. , The great difficulty of working with electricity is the problem of getting the electricity where ybu want it. It seeks always to'escape into the'ground, es- pressure. 'iiiis was of the difficulties which had to be over¬ come before the long-distance wireless telephone- was possible and before Charles P. Steinmetz could transmit currents, under a pressure of a million volts. The electricity always escaped and no one could find chains sufficiently strong to hold it back. Until electrose was invented, the electrical wires were insulated froni the ground and the elec¬ tricity prevented from, escaping by means of insulators made of glass or porcelain. As the voltages required in electrical Work grew higher, these glass and porcelain insulators proved inade¬ quate. The current tore through them and destroyed them. It was necessary that -some inventive genius discover an insulating material which would 'with¬ stand hea'vy pressures and prevent the electricity from escaping. In U. 1^. Navy The NC-4, the. first airship to cross the ocean, carried Steinberger's felec- trose. Today Mr. Steinberger's inven¬ tion is universally tised by electricians and electrical engineers. The United States Navy uses it not only on board ships but also in all the wireless army and navy stations established by the government. On every ship of our navy that has a wireless plant about thirty- six different types of Electrose insula¬ tions are used. On the battleships three hundred pieces of this insulation" is used for the wireless equipment alone. Every telephone man and ^very one interested in electricity and the transmission of electric power knows the name and uses of this material. Offer* Plant to Government When war was declared, Mr. Stein¬ berger was^ among the first Americans to .offer the use o.jF his large plant to the government for the making of war materials. One single war time inci- (Continued on page 6.) to conduct a similar campaign in Eng¬ land, it was announced by Henry H. Rosenfclt, Natioii<il Director of the American Jewish Relitf Committee. Mr. Brown is now in Russia, after having visited Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, Hungary and Roumania as one of the commissioners recently sent abroad by the American Jewish Relief Committee to review the efforts of the Jews of this country to relieve their war-stricken brethren, and to prepare a program for future relief efforts, with particular reference to reconstruction, In yielding to the importunities of leading British Jews to put on in Eng¬ land a campaign with methods ..similar to those that have proved successful in America, Mr. Brown, writing from Vienna, said: "So far, I have- heard and seen enough to warrant me saying that every pound raised in England and the Col¬ onies can be used in addition to the funds raised in America. At best, we are doing but, very little, for the mil¬ lions of people to help and the many activities that are necessary, yoii can realize that our millions ot dollars can¬ not do much for each individual. One great effort on the part of the Jews of Great Britain at this time would not only be helpful to these people, but the knowledge that the Jews of Great Brit¬ ain were so interested ill the sufferings of their fellow Jews in the lands of misery would raise their spirits and give them hope and make them want to live to go on, which is one of the finest things we can put into their souls, especially when they are so disheartened and hopeless." National Director Rosenfelt has ca¬ bled Mr. Brown assuring him of the completcst possible co-operation of the American Jewish Relief Committee in the British caiiipaign Which will be launched when he has completed his tour 'of Russia. CHICAGO — Chicagoans forgot their difTcreiiccs, social or otherwise, and crowded into Sinai temple last Monday lo paj homage to Levy Mayer. From the pipes of the organ lo the foot of the rostrum, thc temple was lilled. with floral tributes to the great mind that had ceased its work. Rich and, poor came to show their respect for their' ' dead friend. j The casket was covered hy a mass of Ijellow roses and purple sweet peas and I could scarcely be distinguished. From his co-workers a floral tribute, in the form of an open law book, bearing the iiisciiptioii,."Our Chief," was near. . Members of the faniily and the asso¬ ciates 6f the attorney occupied the front pews, Thc daughters, Mrs. Clarence H. Low and Afrs. Walter A. Hiiscfi, sat on either side of their mother. Dr. White Delivers Sermon The Rev. Rufus White delivered the sermon. He' made mention of thc work and life of Levy Mayer, touching upon his culture, his search for knowledge. "His conversation was always in¬ spirational, a constant intellectual chal¬ lenge," said Dr. White. "His remark- ' able altainmeiits and business success iie\er led him to assume an intellectual lordship o\er others. "I never knew a more genuine friend. By circumstance he belonged to the great vested interests of thc" nation, but in his heart he was always a great sym- , pathizer with everj-' honest laborer. "His was a flaming Ariiericanism. He loved his country with a deep and abid¬ ing affection. His .Americanism was not that of race or tongue or birth-place, but of the spirit. "He was a genial, approachable man. I never entered his office without find¬ ing him busy, b\t he, was never too busy door was always open and every humd'n ' ' ¦ need and interest appealed instantly to him. His anonymous benevolences were many, the greater in that they were car¬ ried out quietly, their secret going with him to thc grave. Levy Mayer was a big man, how¬ ever measured. He was great in his keen intelligence, a big business man, one of the greatest lawyers." Tribute was paid by Judge Samuel F. Alschuler, who extolled the profes¬ sional, abilities of Levy Mayer saying - that his work, toil and devotion to duty were the main spring in this great man's life and career. ' The twenty-third psalm, sung by a quartet, opened the services. The Beethoven Funeral Marcli was played as an organ solo, and Mrs. Ethel Bene¬ dict, soprano member of the quartet, sang "Why Art Thou Cast Down?" The musical program was concluded with an organ solo of Handel's "Dead M^rch" from Sanl. Associates in the firm of Maler, Meyer, Austrian & Piatt were active pallbearers. The list of honorary pall¬ bearers included members of the Chi¬ cago Bar Association, of the Illinois State Bar Association'and many other noted men of Ch.icago. Burial was- at Rosehill. POINCARE LAUDS JEWISH WAR MARTYR PARIS—(J, T. A.)—Praise for the heroism of a Jewish Frenchman whom a court-martial had ordered shot for trea¬ son, was lavished by Premier Poincare at thc unveiling at Gucbwiller of the monument in memory of David Block , of the French Flying Corps. In 1916, 'while flying an aeroplane. Block, was forced to descend in the German lines at Guebwiller. He him¬ self destroyed the aeroplane and was taken, prisoner. Being an Alsatian, he was charged with treason and con¬ demned to be shot. An Alsatian law¬ yer, a Jew named Nordmann, was re¬ duced to the rank of a private for de¬ fending Block before the court-martial.

Canucks owner calls reporter 'prick', threatens legal action
Less than three years after being one game away from winning the Stanley Cup, the Vancouver Canucks are in full meltdown mode.
Before the team was eliminated from NHL post-season contention Monday night for the first time in six seasons, media-shy owner Francesco Aquilini was not pleased with a story in the Globe and Mail reporting his family's involvement in the hiring of John Tortorella, a defensive-minded head coach on a team that prefers to play free-wheeling, offensive hockey.
Aquilini didn't mince words, threatening legal action in a private message to the reporter.
"I read your article today. You are a prick," the message said, according to the Globe.
Two hours later, the reporter received a legal letter via email from lawyer Howard Shapray from a Vancouver-based law firm.
"The facts are that while the Aquilinis supported the decision of the general manager, the hiring decision was his and not theirs," the letter said.
Later that night, the Canucks played a lacklustre game, a 3-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks that eliminated them from the playoffs.
General manager and president Mike Gillis was fired the next day.

Shares of Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) jumped more than 8% on Friday after the PC maker's stronger-than-expected earnings and upbeat guidance were met with a slew of positive analyst notes and an upgrade.
Continue Reading Below
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based tech giant revealed late Thursday a fiscal 2013 EPS guidance in the range of $3.40 to $3.50, which is above the consensus view of $3.32.
It also reported adjusted earnings of 82 cents a share in its most recent quarter, topping average analyst estimates of 71 cents in a Thomson Reuters poll.
Friday's rally is on top of a more than 6% buying frenzy in extended trading on Thursday after H-P reported first-quarter results. Its shares climbed close to 9% in recent trade to $18.62, and are up about 20% since the beginning of January.
The computer maker, which has struggled with soft demand for PCs amid the switch to mobile devices, was upgraded to "neutral" from "sell" by UBS (NYSE:UBS) on Friday as analysts digested the upbeat guidance.
"Although the fundamentals remain mixed, the substantial improvement in free cash flow reduces the likelihood of significant downside to the stock," said UBS analyst Steven Milunovich in his research note. "The company's blocking and tackling is improving, and the likelihood of the bottom falling out appears diminished."
A number of other brokerages raised their price target on H-P, including Evercore (NYSE:EVR) which upped its target to $15 from $11 on an "underweight" rating, J.P. Morgan (NYSE:JPM), which lifted its target on H-P to $22 from $21 on a "neutral" rating and Jefferies (NYSE:JEF), which raised its target to $13.50 from $10 on an "underperform" rating.
While declining computer sales continue to be a headache for makers of computers like Dell (NASDAQ:DELL) and H-P, the latter showed positive desktop revenue and unit growth year-over-year. Printer demand also remained promising despite a decline in revenue.
However, UBS didn't raise its second-quarter or full-year guidance on H-P despite the beat, nothing several challenges, including the broader trend of dwindling PC demand and pricing as well as soft service orders remain.

DETROIT (AP) — The newly appointed emergency manager charged with getting Detroit's finances back on track said Wednesday that public safety needs are a top priority for the city.
Kevyn Orr, a bankruptcy expert who represented automaker Chrysler LLC during its successful restructuring, told The Associated Press in an interview that his first task will be to start "meeting with folks" — including City Council members who strongly resisted the appointment of a manager.
Orr has said Mayor Dave Bing has "pledged to be a partner" in the turnaround effort and that he planned to meet with him and some of the council members when he begins his new job on Monday.
Bing has said his administration will offer Orr any help he needs in getting set up and up to speed on Detroit's dire fiscal condition. Many on the nine-member City Council apparently have given up their opposition to an emergency manager and have said they plan to have a continued role running the city of 700,000 people alongside Orr.
Detroit became the largest city in the country to fall under state oversight after Gov. Rick Snyder agreed the city needed the independent overseer to help correct its financial mess — including a $327 million budget deficit and more than $14 billion in long-term debt.
Orr said he has spent time with various foundation and business leaders and others in the city.
"It seems very clear that the top-level priority is public safety, whether it's lighting, whether it's getting to our police force, and perhaps providing some assistance for them as soon as possible," Orr said. "Fire, EMS, and quite frankly I want to reach out to them as soon as possible, too. I feel it's time that they get a little respect and love for the hard work and difficult jobs they have."
Detroit has one of the highest violent crime rates in the country, and homicides have increased in recent years.
In an effort to cut costs, Bing and the city's police chief have moved dozens of officers from desk and other duties to street patrols.
Orr, 54, stepped away from his role as a partner in the Cleveland-based Jones Day international law firm after the state hired him as emergency manager.
Emergency managers have wide-ranging authority to mend the city's budget, including renegotiating labor contracts, selling off assets and even suspending elected officials' salaries.
Benton Harbor, Pontiac, Flint, Ecorse and Allen Park are other cities currently under state oversight. In addition to Detroit's public schools, districts in Highland Park and Muskegon Heights also have emergency managers.
It's unlikely Orr, who lives in the Washington, D.C. area, will start work quietly in Detroit. While there will be little, if any, fanfare, there are bound to be protests to his presence in City Hall.
Civil rights activist the Rev. Jesse Jackson has called for mass demonstrations against Orr's appointment and Michigan's emergency manager law, which he says takes away voting rights from residents.

By Gerry J. Gilmore, American Forces Press ServiceDecember 31, 2006
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Dec. 31, 2006) - With military members standing a solemn guard over the flag-draped casket in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda, Vice President Richard B. Cheney yesterday evening eulogized former President Gerald R. Ford.
By his pardon of Richard M. Nixon, Ford prevented Americans from experiencing more political turmoil from Watergate, Cheney said in his eulogy to the fallen former chief executive.
"It was this man, Gerald R. Ford, who'd led our republic safely through a crisis that could have turned to catastrophe," Cheney said. "We will never know what further unraveling, what greater malevolence, might have come in that time of furies turned loose and hearts turned cold."
America was spared further angst, Cheney said, through Ford's pardoning of Nixon, which occurred not long after Ford had become president in August 1974 after Nixon resigned. Ford was president from 1974 to 1977.
Cheney had served as Ford's chief of staff. Former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld performed his first stint as the Defense Department's top civilian in the Ford administration.
Ford was an astute and honest man who likely sacrificed his chance for election as president in his own right in order to bind the nation's scars, Cheney said. Ford lost to Jimmy Carter during the 1976 presidential election.
"For all the grief that never came, for all the wounds that were never inflicted, the people of the United States will forever stand in debt to the good man and faithful servant we mourn tonight," Cheney said.
Senior military officers including Marine Gen. Peter Pace, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Vice Chairman Navy Adm. Edmund Giambastiani, and other members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff listened to Cheney's eulogy and looked on as other servicemembers posted in and around the Rotunda stood guard around Ford's casket. Members of the Navy Band's Sea Chanters chorus sang hymns at the ceremony's opening.
Cheney also praised Betty Ford, the fallen president's widow and former first lady. It was obvious to friends, Cheney said, that Betty Ford was the source of her husband's happiness and sunny outlook.
"All the good that you shared, Betty, all the good that you did together has not gone away. All of that is forever," Cheney said.
Ford healed America during his time in the Oval Office, Cheney said, noting it was now the time to say goodbye to his former boss.
"And so, for now Mr. President, farewell. We will always be thankful for your good life," Cheney said.

Former House speaker O'Brien helped Cornerstone with right-to-know request to DHHSBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
July 11. 2013 12:50PM
(Thursday, July 11, update:)
CONCORD -- Cornerstone Action executive director Ashley Pratte acknowledged Thursday that former House speaker William O'Brien helped her with a right-to-know request she submitted to the state Department of Health and Human Services earlier this week.
O'Brien, who is a state legislator and is exploring a run for Congress, made additions to and deletions from Pratte's letter that requests information about the hiring of, and assignments given to, Dawn Touzin.
Touzin has been a DHHS attorney for more than two years and is the former vice president for public policy and government affairs at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.
Pratte has said she is concerned that Touzin's longtime advocacy for causes promoted by Planned Parenthood is influencing her role in the taxpayer-funded, $67,192-a-year post (see earlier story below).
Pratte emailed an early copy of the letter to UnionLeader.com and other media.
The word document shows that O'Brien made several additions and deletions to the letter, which was signed by Pratte.
Pratte said Thursday she went to O'Brien, an attorney, for "technical advice" on how to construct a right-to-know request since, she said, he issued several during his time as speaker.
"I'm not a lawyer and I figured I'd trust Bill with it," Pratte said. "I wanted to make sure that legally it made sense."
O'Brien said his involvement was "more as a private attorney answering questions and suggesting language.
"But from a political perspective, I'm as concerned as Cornerstone is that it looks like a long-standing advocate for liberal causes has been chosen by HHS as an attorney. A number of us are concerned that there may be public causes being pursued rather than public business.
"I'm certainly not saying there is any wrongdoing," O'Brien said. "But we would be very curious to find out the process they went through that resulted in the vice president for government affairs for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England being hired" as an attorney at the department.
The state Democratic Party spokesman Harrell Kirstein said O'Brien's involvement is further evidence that, "despite their pledges to re-brand after the last election, Republicans are still in lockstep with Bill O'Brien and his radical social agenda.
"Given his edits, it's clear that Bill O'Brien and Ashley Pratte are both engaged in what can only be described as a partisan witch hunt," Kirstein said.
Pratte has denied that politics prompted the right-to-know request, while Commissioner of Health and Human Services Nicholas Toumpas said, "My staff is not in the business of doing advocacy work.:
Meanwhile, PPNNE senior policy adviser Jennifer Frizzell said Thursday, "As the state's largest provider of women's preventive health services, Planned Parenthood of Northern New England regularly interacts with the NH Department of Health and Human Services.
"At the end of the legislative session the PPNNE Action Fund issued a statement which cited Medicaid Expansion as one of several legislative projects we worked on during this past year," Frizzell emailed UnionLeader.com

(Wednesday, July 10:)
CONCORD -- The head of a New Hampshire conservative group is concerned that a former key pro-choice advocate works for the state Department of Health and Human Services, and is seeking details on her hiring and her role in the taxpayer-funded post.
Ashley Pratte, executive director of the pro-life Cornerstone Action, has filed a right-to-know request with DHHS regarding Dawn Touzin, the former vice president for public policy and government affairs at Planned Parenthood of Northern New England.
Pratte said Cornerstone wants to know if Touzin's long-time advocacy for causes promoted by Planned Parenthood is influencing her role as an attorney at DHHS, but department commissioner Nicholas Toumpas said, "My staff is not in the business of doing advocacy work. That's not what they do."
The state Democratic Party called Pratte's move "a disgraceful witch hunt."
Touzin has been employed by DHHS since May 9, 2011 and is currently a service specialist, an unclassified position with a salary of $67,192, according to state personnel director Karen Hutchins.
Touzin, who did not return UnionLeader.com calls seeking comment, was identified in a recent news report as an attorney for the department, and Toumpas confirmed that is her role.
Pratte said she was unaware that Touzin was a state employee until she read the news report, which focused on hospitals signing up for Medicaid managed care, about a week ago.
She filed the right-to-know request this week, asking for specifics on her Touzin's assignments and projects and any correspondence between Touzin and Planned Parenthood and any other "third party organizations."
"It is an inescapable concern that (Touzin's) role as an attorney at DHHS may correlate with her previous position at PPNNE and may well constitute a continuation of that and other public advocacy she has undertaken on behalf of liberal organizations and causes," Pratte wrote in her request.
In an interview, Pratte said, "If she is working to advance these causes that she has worked for previously in her career, I think the public has a right to know that information."
Pratte said the main reason for the request was to obtain any communication between Touzin "and any third party organization, such as Planned Parenthood, regarding family planning, Medicaid expansion, Medicaid managed care, all topics that have recently become a big battle at the State House."
Pratte noted that soon after Cornerstone and fellow conservative groups Americans for Prosperity and Granite State Taxpayers held a news conference on the state budget last month, Planned Parenthood held a news conference on Medicaid expansion.
"I was curious as to why Medicaid expansion was a big issue for Planned Parenthood," Pratte said. "If there was any correspondence between DHHS and Planned Parenthood regarding Medicaid expansion, we would obviously like to know that."
DHHS commissioner Toumpas said he "won't speak specifically" about Touzin, but said, "My staff is not in the business of doing advocacy work. That's not what they do.
"We respond to the Legislature, we put forward information. But nobody in their role is doing any advocacy on the part of any cause that is out there," Toumpas said.
Toumpas said he forwarded Pratte's right-to-know request -- as he does any right-to-know request -- to DHHS chief counsel Mary Castelli.
The state Democratic Party criticized Pratte for the request.
"After the reckless Bill O'Brien and Jeb Bradley-led Legislature tried to de-fund Planned Parenthood, restrict access to insurance coverage for contraception, and slashed funding for family planning and women's health programs, voters responded by throwing them out of office," said party spokesman Harrell Kirstein. "Are Republicans and their far-right allies really still so obsessed with blocking access to affordable and critical health care services for New Hampshire women and families that they are now attacking a hardworking New Hampshire citizen for simply because she used to work for Planned Parenthood, an important provider of critical health care for families?
"The far right's relentless attacks on women's health care in New Hampshire need to stop. Responsible members of the NHGOP would condemn this petty and disgraceful witch hunt for what it is," said Kirstein.
Pratte responded, "Cornerstone is simply calling for transparency and clarity for HHS regarding Ms. Touzin's activity. With the recent battles over Medicaid expansion at the State House, her work as an attorney on the subject is relevant. This is not a witch hunt in any way, rather just an execution of the public's right to availability of these requested documents. Maintaining transparency in state departments and agencies should always be a priority."
