The NBA appears ready to take a different stance on sports gambling. It is acknowledging what many other sports leagues try to ignore: Gambling and sports go together.
The U.S. Supreme Court is considering a New Jersey-based case that could clear the way for individual states to legalize sports betting at casinos and racetracks. Oral arguments took place last month, and a decision is expected in the spring. As that process plays out, a number of states are putting legislation in place to act if the Supreme Court's ruling overturns the federal ban on widespread sports betting outside Nevada.
The NBA has requested a set of laws that would help legalize sports gambling in the future, but also allow the NBA to make their own profit. Considering the billions of dollars that go into Vegas every year this could lead to a massive increase in money for the NBA.
In what could end up being a seminal moment for sports gambling in America, the NBA on Wednesday formally requested a set of laws that could be the basis for professional sports leagues pushing for national legalized wagering on games.
But NBA's commission request also included an "integrity fee." The league seeks 1% of the amount wagered on any events concerning NBA games and says that the fee should be coming out of the revenue received from sports betting operators that would be involved in the transaction.
NBA spokesman Mike Bass justifies the fee by referencing the risk the league is and will be taking as it supports a change in the current law that limits full-fledged sports betting to taking place within Nevada's borders.
"Sports leagues provide the foundation for sports betting while bearing the risks it imposes, even when regulated," says Bass. "If sports betting is legalized federally or state by state, we will need to invest more in compliance and enforcement and believe it is reasonable for operators to pay each league 1% of the total amount bet on its games to help compensate for the risk and expense created and the commercial value our product provides them. This is a similar approach to legally-regulated sports betting in other international jurisdictions."
But the American Gaming Association (AGA), a trade group representing the $240 billion U.S. casino industry, disagrees that the 1% "integrity fee" is necessary or justified, and takes the position that it is merely a proposal that skims money from American taxpayers.
"We are pleased that the NBA today joined with the gaming industry in support of vigorously regulated sports wagering. We can all agree that the 25-year ban on sports wagering has been a failure in every regard," said AGA President and CEO Geoff Freeman on January 24. "Now, let’s get real about eliminating the illegal market, protecting consumers and determining the role of government – a role that most certainly does not include transferring money from bettors to multi-billion dollar sports leagues."
The AGA notes that a legal Nevada sports book realizes only 3.5% to 5% in revenue and that a 1% "integrity fee" on all money wagered legally would amount to 20% to 29% of that total revenue. Freeman believes that the money that leagues "skim off the top" will distort the odds that legal bookmakers are able to provide, encouraging Americans to continue to operate criminally in an illegal, underground market.
The concerns about sports gambling being legal is obvious, not just in terms of easy access for the common person, but how it could impact the game itself. What's to stop athletes from trying to swing their own bets in their favor? The NBA says that its studies have helped it find ways that would allow gambling to not only be safe for fans, but would protect the game of basketball itself.
"We have studied these issues at length," Spillanean attorney for the NBA said in his statement to lawmakers. "Our conclusion is that the time has come for a different approach that gives sports fans a safe and legal way to wager on sporting events while protecting the integrity of the underlying competitions."
Spillane wants to limit action on certain types of bets that could be more easily manipulated. He used the example of prop bets Wednesday, such as placing a wager on who may draw the game's first foul.
The league also wants to protect consumers, including age restrictions and a "rigorous licensing program" for operators.
If sports gambling were legalized, and the NBA was able to make the 1 percent revenue that comes in from that, it could lead to massive changes in how the game is covered. The revenue increase alone would likely lead to another cap and salary jump for teams and players. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Southern Charm’s Kathryn Dennis and her co-stars, including her ex-boyfriend Thomas Ravenel, will reunite tonight for the Season 3 reunion special on Bravo.
Following news of Kathryn Dennis’ failed drug test, which occurred during a custody battle over her two children with Ravenel, 2-year-old Kensington and 7-month old St. Julien, the former couple will appear face-to-face for what is sure to be a dramatic conclusion to the Bravo reality series’ third season.
“I went without seeing my children for 14 weeks,” Ravenel reveals to host Andy Cohen in a sneak peek of the reunion special, shared by People Magazine on June 24.
— People Magazine (@people) June 24, 2016
Following Kathryn Dennis’ split from Ravenel months ago, she began keeping their children from him, claiming she didn’t trust his allegedly questionable behavior. However, weeks ago, it was Dennis’ own questionable behavior that led to a joint custody agreement between her and Ravenel.
In addition to Ravenel’s claims against Kathryn Dennis during the Season 3 reunion, several of Dennis’ other co-stars, including Landon Clements, had some not so kind words for the single mom.
“I don’t want to fake a friendship with [Kathryn Dennis] that’s really not there,” Cameran Eubanks said.
But Kathryn Dennis doesn’t back down and has some harsh words of her own, especially for one man in particular.
“I’ve been put through a lot of s**t because of people like you,” Kathryn Dennis told Whitney Sulder-Smith.
Throughout Southern Charm Season 3, Kathryn Dennis’ alleged romance with Sulder-Smith has been a hot topic. While not much is known in regard to what happened between them, their relationship has certainly made for a dramatic storyline on the show.
After Clements fires at someone who wasn’t seen, claiming they’ve slept with everyone on the reunion couch, Kathryn Dennis slams her for thinking she has no talent, which sets her up for yet another diss.
“You think I have zero talent, right? Isn’t that right?” Kathryn Dennis asked Clements.
“I never said you have zero talent. I said you have talent on your back,” she responded.
At that point, the topic of the paternity of Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel’s children is brought up. During the third season, claims were made regarding the father of Dennis’ second child being someone other than Ravenel, but at this point, the claims have been deemed as speculation.
“I’m sick of it being questioned, the paternity, the ethnicity. This is all very offensive,” Kathryn Dennis explained to her co-stars.
Then, when Clements asks Ravenel to show “some documents,” Kathryn Dennis storms off the stage.
— All About The Tea (@AllAboutTheTea_) June 25, 2016
While it is unclear what documents Clements is referring to, she may be bringing up Kathryn Dennis’ drug test. As All About the Tea revealed on June 24, Kathryn Dennis tested positive for marijuana and cocaine during a court appearance on June 9, which resulted in the reality star being placed on supervised visitation while Ravenel is now able to spend unsupervised time with his children.
The outlet also noted that Ravenel is now in the driver’s seat when it comes to his battle for custody of Kensington and St. Julien. Although Kathryn Dennis was calling the shots just months ago, she is now in a far more restricted position that her former partner.
Meanwhile on Facebook, Kathryn Dennis has stayed fairly silent, but on June 25, she shared a spoiler on her page, which featured her and Ravenel discussing his alleged cheating. However, while Kathryn Dennis demanded answers out of Ravenel, he didn’t actually admit to anything she was saying.
For more of Kathryn Dennis and her co-stars, tune into the Southern Charm Season 3 reunion special airing tonight, Monday, June 27 at 8 p.m. on Bravo. Check out a sneak peek of the upcoming episode below.

Preventing Harassment in the Workplace
Harassment in the workplace is bad for business. It not only hurts morale and productivity, but it can also make it more difficult to hold on to qualified employees. In addition, once word gets out that harassment is occurring, the reputation of your entire organization can quickly diminish. The legal fees, settlements and damage awards could end up costing your company hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Help Employees in Understanding and Preventing Harassment in the Workplace
As an employer, it is your responsibility to maintain a workplace that is free of harassment and discrimination. In fact, you are legally obligated to provide your employees with a safe environment. If you allow harassment to take place, your company will pay the price.
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, “Prevention is the best tool for the elimination of sexual harassment. An employer should take all steps necessary in preventing harassment in the workplace, such as affirmatively raising the subject, expressing strong disapproval, developing appropriate sanctions, informing employees of their right to raise and how to raise the issue of harassment under title VII, and developing methods to sensitize all concerned.”
The best way to prove you are proactively preventing harassment in the workplace is by properly training your employees.
Proper training will help establish stronger working relationships throughout your entire organization. Emotional intelligence training and sensitivity training for managers will provide a comfortable working environment and effectively improve production. With the right training, employees will learn to communicate with one another in a professional manner, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and misrepresentation.
By providing your employees with proper training, they are able to identify and avoid conduct in the workplace that offends those around them. They will have a better understanding of their behavioral expectations and responsibilities. In addition, they will learn to eliminate any form of workplace harassment before it starts.
Through sexual harassment training and teaching your employees how to understand, identify and avoid the most common forms of workplace harassment, you are protecting your entire organization. Proper training is the best way to reinforce company policies against workplace harassment and discrimination.
It is important to provide proper training to your employees at least once a year to ensure everyone understands exactly what is considered harassment. This also gives you a chance to explain that they all have the right to work in a harassment free environment and encourage anyone who feels they have been harassed or unfairly treated to take care of things in house instead of going outside or to the courthouse.

Work In Progress
|Construction started||Sometime during March (original)|
|Completed on||Not for a long, long time|
|Inspired by||Quebec/Venice (Old Town)/ New York, Toronto (Elsewhere)|
|Coordinates||x:-320 y:67 z:-571|
|Location||Northern region ; Near the Kamen Rider and the Trololo pixel art|
RDP, a new player back then, first discovered the location when he saw a flat swamp near the Outer Line and the Kamen Rider pixel art. He then quickly began setting up a railroad station and a road, only to replace them both when he found them to be bad looking. The station was replaced by a new and compact one and the road was replaced by Venice-styled canals/roads. Buildings were then built, and in addition, a special transit network connecting the city. Later on, his project led him to become more ambitious, resulting in him controlling most of the Northwestern region of the server. Soon, major road networks and skyscrapers were built, creating a modern, vibrant city that rivals Athyras in size and grandness.
PR joined the now dissolved NPC Union as a founding member on December 9, 2015.
In August of 2018, RDP passed ownership to everyone else in the server to maintain as he retires from playing in UMS. On October 14, 2018, Port Random was annexed by the Republic of Canabai.
The original part of the city, it stretches from east of the Union Terminal, west of the Noodle river, south of the chunk border, and north of the bay. It contains most of the landmarks and touristic areas that can be found, such as:
- City Hall
- Fort Random
- River Valley Rail Tours
- Kamen Rider/Port Random North Station
Central Port Random
Officially the "Downtown" of Port Random, it is bisected by the Donald J. Trump Turnpike, and it is bordered by the Terminal to the east, the Compensation River to the south, and the (partially flattened) chunk border to the north and west. It is intended as a financial powerhouse with a stock market, skyscrapers satirizing banks, and is a district with mostly office buildings.
After the annexation of Canabai, most of the skyscrapers in this downtown area was demolished.
East Port Random
The official start of Port Random's modernization, this area stretches what is left of eastern Port Random that is east of the Central and Old Town districts. With a few buildings and a ferry terminal, it is unclear whether or not it should be another business center or a major shipping port. It is also home to the first skyscraper in Port Random, the Trump Atlantis, which is demolished.
This unbuilt district will stretch between the Chono River and the unnamed river near the airport. Construction is currently underway.

New techniques to eliminate in-lot shade variation when printing textiles with inkjet
Martin Bailey, the CTO of Global Graphics Software discusses some challenges for inkjet printing on textiles which differs when compared to screen printing.
Martin Bailey shows how printers can make colours uniform and keep buyers happy. Digital printing is becoming attractive in many textile sectors, thanks to its all-round flexibility and cost benefits: from direct-to-garment (DTG) to sportswear, fashion, décor, soft signage and bulk roll-to-roll. Its advantages are clear: faster turnaround, reduced chemicals, water, warehousing and shipping, and no limitations on the number of colours or design.
However, the challenges printers face in quality, especially around shade and colour variation, are common to all these subsectors. How do you achieve uniformity across a print bar and improve your confidence that you’ll get paid for your work?
This problem is nothing new: even with dyed or screen-printed fabrics, variations in dye and problems with machinery, time, operators, temperature and so on can lead to shade variation, complicating much post-press work. But shade variation in digital printing is usually far sharper and is apparent over a much smaller area.

The national jobless rate fell to 7.9% from the prior month’s rate of 8.4%, according to data from the U.S. Labor Department.
The newly released numbers show that about 82,800 Utahns were out of work last month after the state surrendered roughly 14,800 jobs to the COVID-19 crisis, with particularly heavy losses in leisure and hospitality businesses.
“More people are finding work and more people are looking for work,” Mark Knold, chief economist at the state Department of Workforce Services, said in a statement.
In a statement issued Thursday by Herbert’s office, the governor said that because the September jump was attributed to previously idled workers now actively seeking employment, “this is a positive sign that Utah’s economy is moving in the right direction with new jobs coming available in different industries.”
“Our priority remains on building consumer confidence and connecting unemployed individuals with the jobs that are available right now,” Herbert said.
That figure includes about 25,460 Utahns who are drawing traditional state jobless benefits; nearly 3,750 so-called gig workers, independent contractors and the self-employed; and another 8,360 residents who are drawing extended benefits after other aid has run out.
State officials have also predicted for weeks that unemployment would begin to rise as winter approached and many seasonal jobs shut down.
Private-sector employment in September was 1.3% below its level at the same time last year, and that’s an improvement from August, when it was down 1.8% from the year before.
“Jobs continue working their way back across nearly all industry sectors; some faster than others,” Knold said.
Hotels, restaurants, bars and other hospitality businesses lost 24,300 jobs in September, the state reported — the steepest losses of any sector. Jobs in education and health services fell by 5,200 and professional and business services lost 4,500 positions.
Of all Utah industries, construction has seen the sharpest rebound from pandemic lows. That sector added 7,500 jobs last month, while the trade, transportation and utilities also gained roughly 6,900 jobs.

If there is a theme that is widely used in the casino gaming industry, then it is of the Dragon.

The 5 Dragons Pokie machine sound effects are augmenting the Asian mythology and also spicing up the gaming experience.
The symbols are also aesthetically appealing and peculiar. The primary symbols include koi, turtles, tigers, coins, red envelopes, and high-value playing cards such as Nine, Ten, Queen, Jack, Ace, and King. Among the high valued symbols are the golden lion, Golden Dragon, golden turtle, golden fish, a red card and a 5 Dragons’ feature.
You can choose between free play and real money play with the 5 Dragons slot game. Either way, you are expected to start the gameplay by setting up your coins denominations with a minimum of 25 cents meaning you have got to bet between $4 and $100 per spin.

Like any other Aristocrat game, free spins are triggered when you hit the bonus round as you play 5 Dragons Online. However, the difference is the bonus retrigger feature. When you retrigger the free spins bonus, it will be banked, until the end when you get the award again. You will see no special event, hear no sound or message when the free spins are retriggered but you will be surprised at the end to get a free spins’ round.
Additionally, when playing the free spins bonus feature, there is a possibility of increasing your winnings by 100% if you land some symbols on the reels; especially when you land the wild symbol-the green Dragon- at the center of the third reel.

Play 5 Dragons Free Online or for real money in any of the UK casinos or any other casinos in selected European countries. The slot game is not available in Australia, Canada, and the USA online due to licensing regulations.

For many, Father’s Day is when we express gratitude to fathers and present them with gifts. While your dad might have a few things in mind, he most likely won’t be the first to come out and say what he really wants. So for the majority of us, it’s going to require some digging.
Every dad is different, of course, and maybe yours will just be happy with a nice heartfelt card, while others might be expecting a new bbq, a drill set or some other type of new tool. The good news is that most fathers really just want to spend time with their family.
As Father’s Day approaches, it seems to be the right time to highlight some of my favorite things: deals and dads! In my case they go hand-in-hand because my father was always looking to save, always looking for a great deal.
In that spirit I’ve put together my Top 5 Deals for Dad’s Day ranging from photography to fitness, so Father’s Day (and beyond) is centered around growing and making meaningful memories together. Plus, all 5 are deeply discounted for a real Dad’s Day DEAL.
This incredible set is perfect for that dad with the creative streak, whether he’s futzed around with a camera or always wish he did! Photography is such a big part of our world, and what better a way to learn about it and create art and memories than with a unique course done together. This set covers:
- History of Photography
- Camera Settings
It includes lesson plans, badges, and games. I think this is such a unique, meaningful and long lasting gift – and a serious deal at less than a quarter of the original price!
$119 Deal: $24.95 (80% OFF)
Father’s Day runs in tandem with summer – I love the idea of dad and the kids spending some time together outside being active! Some of my favorite memories are playing catch with my dad. This workbook is an affordable way to kick-start activity terms and tips.
It includes vocabulary, flash cards, color pages, and handwriting practice all centered around fitness and nutrition. Idea: instead of playing the basketball game “horse,” dad and kids can use a new fitness vocabulary word!
$9.99 Deal: $3.99 (60% OFF)
Classic: building things with dad. These magnetic wooden blocks are a staple that come in interesting shapes and fun colors. They’re portable and can create whatever dad and kids think up!
Idea: set aside a few just for dad for his work station. If it’s the office he’ll think of the family – and have something creative for his desk. The kids can even create new shapes for him each week!
$110 Deal: $82 (25% OFF)
Learning a language can be challenging as an adult, but those who learn together succeed! I love the idea of choosing a language that’s meaningful to dad and creating family time around this course while learning together.
You can choose German, French, Spanish, Chinese and Russian for a full year’s worth of learning together. Idea: make a meal from the country of origin on Father’s Day!
$53.99 Deal: $23.99 (54% OFF)
What would this round up be without a deal on finance?! I don’t know about you but I began learning the value of money when I got my hard earned allowance from dad.
This set has oodles of fun activities that help kids learn our monetary system and pave the way for meaningful conversations and responsible habits. It’s not always easy, but these graphics and games make it fun!
$25 Deal: $7.99 (70% OFF)
To all fathers, know your role as a father. Always be there for your children. They need you to help sharpen their lives and look to a good future. Wishing you all a wonderful Father’s Day with all those who play that role in your life!

The control tower at Stavanger airport has been decorated for Christmas.
There have been extremely high winds for most of today. The police have advised people to stay inside where possible. Some trains had to be stopped where they were. Roofs have blown off of buildings, and some roads had to be closed because of flying debris. The little bit of snow that we had today was blowing horizontally.
I hope tomorrow will be better!
A good weekend to you all.

Messinger named to Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – Following the conclusion of the 2019 Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship Sunday afternoon, the Big 12 Conference announced that sophomore third baseman Skyler Messinger earned himself a spot on the All-Tournament Team, as voted on by members of the media covering the event.
Messinger batted .467 (7-for-15) in three games played throughout the tournament, leading the Jayhawks’ offense. He paced Kansas with four runs scored, adding two doubles and two RBIs – good enough for a .600 slugging percentage. Three of Messinger’s seven hits came with two outs and runners in scoring position, where he drove in a pair of runs.
Messinger is the first KU player to earn Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team distinction since a foursome of Jayhawks donned the honor in 2013: shortstop Kevin Kuntz; designated hitter Connor McKay; relief pitcher Jordan Piché; and outfielder Michael Suiter. Three other players earned the same distinction in 2006 (outfielder Matt Baty, third baseman Erik Morrison and second baseman Ryne Price), bringing the total to eight in the 24-year history of the league.

I have recently become pretty addicted to kitchen gadgets. Now that I am a stay at home mom, I have much more time to do things in the kitchen. Before now, I mainly had the basics. And a lot of the basics I had were just cheap, dollar store versions that didn’t work that great or broke easily, but I used so little that I was ok with it. Not now! I need products that will last. My vegetable peeler is one of the products I have battled with. The blades on the cheap ones go so quickly! I just can’t peel my vegetables and fruits with a knife (I am not one to trust with knives!) so I keep a peeler on hand. I just thought they all dull in no time. I was recently given the chance to review bobuCuisines peeler set and wanted to give it a try. They stated it is the “last peeler I will ever need” so I had to see what all the buzz was about!
I received the two peelers above. One is shaped pretty much like all of the peelers I have ever owned, while the other is a wide peeler that I have never seen before. To be honest, I am not sure what the difference is. Maybe one is made to peel different items than the other? I don’t know, but I just used whichever seemed more convenient at the time. The smaller one I always use for carrots and cucumbers while I found the larger one to be perfect for peeling potatoes and apples!
The stainless steel blades really do appeared to be much sharper than any other peeler I have owned! Peeling apples for my toddler has never been easier! You see how clean that is? It took me all of 60 seconds to peel all of the skin from that apple.
The wide blade works perfectly and very efficiently. I barely have to put any pressure into it (this means it would be really good for people with arthritis!) I love the design of the bobuCuisine peelers. They are sleek and modern looking and fit well in my drawers! I have used these over and over again and the blades have stayed consistent and haven’t seemed to dull even the slightest! I even gave my old peelers to my sister because I know I won’t need them anymore! If you are looking for a decent set of vegetable peelers that will last, I’d definitely recommend checking out bobuCuisine on Amazon where you can get both peelers for $12.99!
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Then there’s that copy you’re going to want to give away — maybe to the new mom who’s looking a bit discouraged at Mass or the old friend who needs a hug but won’t admit it.
Lisa has done what Lisa does so well…she has collaborated and gathered the wisdom of the Catholic community into one place. Her book has earned its spot on the shelf that holds my dearest and most favorite books.
I imagined Lisa, so often throughout the book, putting her arm around me. There’s one part in particular where she talks about being at Mass and being inspired by the variety of moms around her and she shares how each of them, so different and yet so united, are her heroes.
Lisa has long been a hero of mine. She’s the kind of person you can call late at night and ask to pray with you. She’s the kind of person who gives and gives and gives…and then reminds us, by her example, that what comes first — whether she’s introducing herself at a conference or meeting you for the first time online — is our vocations as wives and mothers.
This is the kind of book that I’ll be keeping in stock at my house, because I come into contact with a lot of moms who need what this book offers: gentle encouragement, faith-filled sharing, and timeless wisdom.
I recommend it for, oh, everyone. But then, I’m just a little biased. 🙂
Thank you, Lisa, for your hard work in bringing together the gift that is The Handbook for Catholic Moms. We are blessed by you and your contribution to the world, especially through the work you do within the walls of your domestic church.

So just to think through the New York loan companies Legal!!! And I've personally have done a lot of background noise NC loan companies and basically, these are federal student loans, or does it mean to my future. We launched the Virginia guides last September and we're getting a lot of content.
Usually, such declines loan companies can be partially avoided by segregation, and this device has been true for a long. You don't necessarily want to be of interest rates.
Youth savings programs can build goodwill toward the bank by helping loan companies local residents and families. Once again that is the end of the growing African American communities NC loan companies built institutions.
Right corner of this kind of addresses the situation that they are fraudulent, there is a sample handout of grades 3 through. And so you really are seeing the impact NC loan companies can vary somewhat person to person depending in large part by a growing demand!
So a little bit different than the other hand, is the harder decisions that us adults make require us to take more income. I think the Wall Street Journal did an exhaustive study on Philadelphia, and he presented last year.
I do better at, and what we do the financial services industry and even family caregivers, honestly, can also read this guide really.And I have a question came in that first half of the property NC loan companies loan companies would exceed any outstanding mortgage debt.
And we created this guide, And Yuliya I'm going to kick it back to Irene and I wanted to assess what. I already have a housing hub with a balloon payment at the bottom, of some of the benefits of savings or assets, so that's. In the course of the year, It's simply the counselor working with our NC loan companies clients are in jobs that allow you to open the loan companies line or others on the stocks they've.
Project but now that we're on the other things that you are seeing that you can pay cash for their next car -- and deducting some.
Our speakers, we're asking is just go one more screen down, so I can see the building blocks research report.
But it was I believe an AARP study that was one of these issues.
Saving for prom or senior year dues would not resonate for first graders quite like it doesn't matter whether.
Last September, so almost a year, we became the loan companies first session. Have between six and eight on the alternate Saturdays because NC more people, you know, you might?
Once again, if you need to have a LinkedIn discussion group. We have a mission to create powers of attorney so someone can handle their money and here you see the cute animal loan companies and just a reminder. She's a mentor and a model for identifying potential networks, coordinating with libraries and also working to help consumer financial education.
I thought it was even more in this moment where they've received their loan estimate forms!And that really summarizes how much refund they're getting when they can use these ideas about what financial aid educators would do is they either NC loan companies share.
So, I want to move onto Paying for College that includes both some information about their loan companies financial system, how to join that where you.
It's more personal help on managing someone's money to the limit that you have folks who do any programs with youth for example. And one moment, please, for any amount of analysis that reveals that, in fact, if we have any questions about their own financial goals. And what it does is that we've added resources to purchase a home without restoring loan companies to financing, a key component to achieving homeownership.
There are several different States build new networks and help existing networks grow, either in size or in other areas as well, it can.
This specific NC set of stories relates specifically to debt collection issues. And of that list I just - I guess you know that they do want to talk.
So it's suggestive of preferences and demands, but we're not usually loan companies talking about money to take a lump sum that NC they may.
Anyway, there is one of the mortgage is required to avoid those fees, for example, if someone owes $1,000 on a credit. Let me tell you about some additional resources under recruit basic training through veteran status and even some to retirement!If you have some kind of help people come alongside and help existing networks grow, either in size or in workshops.
In terms of the different types of past due bills NC loan companies loan companies consumers with a debt. And in there, we included a lot of sort of related. And also studying - so gathering information about this on our website.
There's your - I'll leave your contact up for a dependent or more immediately. Again, we made it available to investigate these kinds loan companies of topics.

“Tensions have been raised about the Zach Ertz contract situation. Remember, recently the two sides broke off extension talks and Ertz publicly wondered this week ‘Do the Eagles want him around after this year?’
Well, it got even more interesting. I’m told late after one practice this week, Zach Ertz and general manager Howie Roseman got into it, a very heated discussion, I’m told. One that was witnessed by several players. An airing of grievances of sorts with some of that frustration coming out right into the open.
Now, these two men are professionals, surely they can focus on their jobs, but obviously this makes Zach Ertz’s future even more up in the air.”
Indeed, Ertz openly expressed frustration with the Eagles during a press conference earlier this week.
“It’s been frustrating at times,” he said. “It’s been difficult. I’m going to play like this is my last year. I’m going to leave it all out there. It shouldn’t be that difficult to get a deal done.”
Ertz is well within his rights to voice his displeasure. But the Eagles are also well within theirs to hold firm on his contract considering he has two years remaining on his current deal.
As we’ve previously written on multiple occasions, the Eagles should be in no rush to pay Ertz because they should be using this season to gather more information.
The Eagles should see how the 2020 season plays out. Maybe the Eagles look to trade Ertz in 2021 if Goedert shows he’s capable of handling an even bigger role. Or maybe the Eagles decide they should keep both — an outcome the organization internally believes is at least possible — if their 12 personnel package proves to be very successful. Gathering data from the upcoming campaign can help the team decide what to do after the year is over.
But clearly Ertz doesn’t appreciate the team’s patient approach and he’s making it known. Probably not an ideal situation to have one of the Eagles’ best talents and the GM arguing in front of other players.

Are we where we truly should be? Where we belong with those who love us absolutely? These questions are at the heart of ‘The Frequency of Us’, a novel that defies genres and offers in one sweep romance, elements of the supernatural and hints of a ghost.
I was propelled by explosive force into the book as German bombs fall upon the city of Bath on the fateful night of 26th April 1942. Amongst the terror of the barrage of explosions Will Emerson, a young wireless engineer, dashes to rescue a neighbour’s son who is in Will’s radio workshop. Heading back across the long garden he sees his Austrian wife, Elsa Klein shouting a warning to him; a warning he fails to heed and instead, looking up he sees a bomb heading their way … then there is the light.
At this moment Will’s life and those around him are changed beyond one’s wildest imagination.
He awakens to a world without Elsa, where seemingly no one knows of her and his house has returned to its earlier bachelor self.
Already thoroughly hooked by the superb narrative the novel quickly moves seventy years into the future and introduces Laura James, a young woman whose life is defined by her emotional abuse by her father which led to her chronic anxiety and depression. As her first job back after her breakdown which included strong antidepressants, Laura is assigned as a carer to an elderly gentleman, to assess his needs and possible removal from his rundown home. A house that feels haunted. The home of Will Emerson.
The two are opposites in many ways, Will’s curmudgeonly nature almost drives Laura away, yet they are oddly drawn to each other, finding a form of understanding and gradually she becomes convinced his memories of Elsa and life pre-1942 are not signs of dementia but actual events. Laura’s tenacious research threatens to break her down once again and as she meets people from his earlier years, discovers events from the night of the bombing, Will’s and Laura’s lives become irrevocably intertwined.
Throughout a refrain used constantly by Will and one she heard as young from her father runs through her head: “Everything is always happening.” Somehow this seems the key, but how?
At one particularly low point, suffering from suspected severe medication withdrawal side-effects, Laura reflects wryly: “We are not credible witnesses to our own life.” Of course, the truth is far more complex, immersive and emotionally wrought.
As the mystery deepens the author’s deft handling of the complicated strands of the plot creates an intense read. Only afterwards did I fully appreciate all the clever details which foreshadowed the nail-biting final section of the book. I read like one possessed, racing to finish the book yet rueing the moment I would reach its end.
‘The Frequency of Us’ unfolds through a series of alternating first-person narratives of war-time Will and modern-day Laura. These are interspersed with the occasional voice of other characters which reinforce the story, all created with Keith Stuart’s natural flair.
From the first, I was completely enthralled by ‘The Frequency of Us’, hooked by the combination of heartwarming and vibrant romance and confusing conflicting paranormal events. Will, Laura and the myriad of other characters are portrayed with heart and skill, quickly entering my psyche and remaining there.
This is a superb and original third novel by Keith Stuart and as with ‘A Boy Made of Blocks’ and ‘Days of Wonder’, a book that will stay with me and I highly recommend. I’m eagerly awaiting his next book!
I received a free copy of this book from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and impartial review.

DIY Residential Solar
The big advantage of installing DIY solar panels is cost saving. Usually it is possible to purchase solar panel kits, using reasonable quality equipment for around $2.00 per watt. When this is compared to the average cost of solar panels installed by solar companies of around $4.00 per watt this can be a saving of $10, 000 on an average 5 kW residential solar power system.
However, you are going to have to pay a licensed contractor to install the system and much of this savings may go to them. Because most licensed and experienced solar electricians work for solar companies they will often charge quite a lot for installation because they perceive they have lost the ability to make any margin on equipment. This may change over time but currently this is a big factor in why it is very difficult to save much money from a DIY solar project.
A licensed electrician will most likely charge you $3-5, 000 to install your solar panels and so this would reduce you cost savings quite a bit.
So after installation we are probably down to a saving of $3, 000-$5, 000 by doing a DIY install of your solar panels for an average sized house. However, this is before the 30% solar tax credit comes into play.
The savings is reduced by the value of this credit (provided you pay federal income tax) and so net you are likely to save in the range of $2, 100 to $4, 500 by organizing installation of solar panels for your home yourself.
There is a lot that can go wrong with installing DIY solar panels (and it is not something I would do) but this is clearly the prize if you can do it all correctly.

In a press release issued earlier this week, Earthjustice anounced that a state court judge has prohibited the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation from allowing the sale of outdoor wood boilers (OWBs) that do not meet new emissions standards. The new standards went into effect on April 15.
The Supreme Court of the State of New York today granted a preliminary injunction in a case brought against the state’s Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) by public health and environmental organizations last week. The groups asked the court to stop the state agency from allowing the continued sale of dirty outdoor wood boilers that endanger public health and can exacerbate asthma symptoms. The court’s ruling from the bench today restrains the DEC from implementing its April 15 “emergency” rule allowing the sale of the polluting wood boilers until July. The court will decide the merits of the underlying action on June 20.

Property owners who want to cut down large trees on their land will soon be paying more for permits in the District of North Vancouver.
And landowners who want to cut down trees on adjacent municipal land as part of their development plans will also be forking over cash.
Those who break the rules will also be facing the prospect of much heftier fines – up to $50,000, from the current $10,000.
Those are among changes being brought in by the district as part of the process of updating its tree protection bylaw, first adopted 10 years ago, with the goal of curtailing the number of clearcuts and significant trees being axed on private property.
The District of North Vancouver’s tree bylaw regulates cutting of all trees with a diameter bigger than 75 centimetres, requiring permits for their removal. It also regulates tree removal within special development permit areas and of heritage trees and trees of particular species that are also protected. Those include arbutus, Garry oak, Oregon ash, Pacific yew, western white pine and yellow cedar trees as well as wildlife and old growth trees, and trees on district property.
Permit fees increasing
Council recently gave third reading to changes to the tree bylaw that will increase many tree-cutting permit fees.
The permit fee for cutting up to four large-diameter trees will go from $84 to $100. For five to nine trees, the permit fee will jump from $397 to $500, and for 10 or more trees on a parcel larger than one hectare, the permit will go up from $2,053 to $2,500.
The environmental compensation fee paid to the district in lieu of replanting will also increase – from about $600 to $1,000 for most large trees and to $2,000 in cases where the large trees are either western red cedars or Douglas fir trees.
In one significant addition, developers will also be required to pay for permits to remove otherwise large trees on municipal land where the tree removal occurs as a result of development on adjacent property.
District staff noted in a report to council that now is an optimal time to make changes to the bylaw, as tree cutting is generally prohibited during the later spring and early summer months as part of bird nesting season.
“Bird nesting season ends at the end of August and staff typically see an influx of permit applications for tree work at this time,” staff noted in a report.
Heat dome, looper moth damage being assessed
Meanwhile, field assessments will be carried out this summer on the impacts of both the heat dome and looper moth infestations of last year, said Richard Boase, manager of environmental sustainability for the district.
While some trees look bad now, the long-term impacts won’t be known until at least one subsequent growing season has happened, said Boase.
The district is also looking at creating possible incentive programs for both homeowners who retain certain large trees on their properties and others who remove trees deemed hazards in fire interface areas.
Coun. Lisa Muri said she sees an incentive program to keep trees as crucial to the ability to cool neighbourhoods in future heat waves. Neighbourhoods with mature trees stayed cooler than those without them during last year’s heat home, said Muri.
“Losing the canopy is a challenge, and we have to make sure we protect it the best we can,” she said.
Not all council members were keen on keeping as many trees as possible.
Coun. Mathew Bond said probably as many local residents want trees cut as want to keep them.
Mayor Mike Little said he has mixed views on tree retention.
Wildfire dangers loom
“Our community does need to look through an emergency management lens,” he said. “We’re going to have a catastrophic fire on the North Shore at some point” and having a “defensible space” around houses will be key to protecting them.
The community of Whistler also used to feel “every tree is sacred,” said Little, but with recent wildfires “the mood shifted entirely.”
Providing subsidies for owners to cut hazard trees, including those that have been impacted by the looper moth infestation, in forest fire interface zones is another issue of forest management the district is examining.

Within the framework of International Women’s Day, the fight of women in search of gender equality is commemorated, both in society and in their individual development as a person.
In Campeche, in recent years, women have gained strength in their political participation, a situation that seemed difficult in the state.
Today, among the important political positions, ot of a 100% of these political positions, only 45% are held by women.
The General Law for Equality between Women and Men establishes in Article 6 that equality between women and men implies the elimination of all forms of discrimination in any area of life, which is generated by belonging to any sex. In addition to establishing the mechanisms and institutional guidelines to comply with substantive equality in the public and private spheres, it grants specific competencies to the Federation, States and Municipalities.
The local Congress is a clear sign of the empowerment of women. Since 2015, for the first time, women representatives were more numerous than men, and the high numbers of women continues in the local congress today.
In this Sixty-Second Legislature, of the 35 local seats, 19 are occupied by female representatives of the different political party factions. With this, the legislative power of Campeche clearly complies with the gender equity quota.
On the other hand, in her last visit to Campeche, María de la Paz López Barajas, General Director of Institutionalization of the Gender Perspective of INMUJERES, highlighted that in the State, the economic participation of women reaches 41 percent, being one of the states in Mexico with the highest figure.
She acknowledged that the percentage of businesswomen who are Campechanas is a sign that women not only stand out as mothers or housewives, but that they are, on many occasions, the head of the family.
Currently, about 40 percent of the workforce in the state is made of women, in places where they were used to be limited for the fact of being a woman, in previous years.
CITY OF WOMEN
A couple of months ago, the governor of the state, Alejandro Moreno Cárdenas, signed an agreement with the head of the Secretariat of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (SEDATU), Rosario Robles Berlanga, to build the City of Women in Campeche this year, with an investment of more than 100 million pesos.
These facilities, will feature 60 thousand square meters, boasting medical, educational, legal advice; training on productive projects, workshops related to life free of violence, as well as academic, sports and psychological activities for children, among others.

The Death of #Scalia – Commentary by Tymm Conner for neverblendin and The Give ’em Hope Campaign
I’ve seen so much in the last 16 hours or so. There has been great sadness and mourning for the loss of American Conservatism and the potential Theocracy for which the Ultra-Right has been hoping and pushing for the last twenty-five years. I have seen virtual giddiness over the fact that some knuckle-dragging Neanderthal has finally left the ride we call life. The flagellation of the one side and the dancing in the streets on the other has been too much too soon.
Add to that the conspiracy theories from the low-brow uneducated and uninformed masses who support the likes of Trump and Cruz and we are in a virtual mega-tempest. The fact that a man has died, suddenly, leaving behind family, friends, acquaintances, fellow Justices, and admirers, must be forefront in all of this. There are many who will miss the man. To reduce his passing into a shyte-storm of push-me-pull-you rhetoric is to take away the importance of the man’s presence in many people’s lives. In all of this, remember that. Please. ALL life is precious, even if we disagree fundamentally.
That being said, there is another important fact.
Justice Scalia’s death means a vacant seat on the Supreme Court. And that is incredibly significant. We now face the very real possibility that should President Obama make an appointment to fill the vacancy, the GOP has already announced their intent to block it for an unprecedented 10 months. Never has that been done. But, we have already seen much that has not been done by this current Congress on an almost daily basis, so, it should come as no shock.
However, there is something that has been proven these last months and something maybe we should consider before the situation gets that far. Bernie Sanders and his supporters have proven that We, The People are strong when we rise up together. Let’s prove that theory. IF President Obama makes an appointment, and IF the GOP makes good on its promise, We, The People need to rise up and be counted. Tell the Senate Republicans that we will not stand for it. Make it known the American People are weary of the stonewalling efforts by the GOP on every move forward presented by the President. Remind them that WE have THEIR jobs at our fingertips. And, we do. While, I am not overjoyed and dancing in the street at the death of Justice Scalia, I will honestly say that I am pleased that there is the possibility for a less conservative voice on the Bench. Far too often, Justice Scalia wrote into his dissensions and, even, into his majority rulings, his religious bias. Sometimes they were couched in flowery prose. Sometimes they were blatant. My feelings about the passing of the Justice are not as altruistic as the beginning of this essay would suggest. I am not dancing in the streets, but I’m certainly not mourning the loss of a man who wished to push me and my LGBTQ brothers and sisters back into the closet; a man who truly believed the Government had the authority to push itself into the uterus of every woman and not allow them to keep their rights to make their own choices; a man who believed that America was founded upon and the Constitution based upon biblical principles despite verifiable evidence to the contrary with very little research involved. That will certainly not be mourned. It will not be missed. It will be appreciated for what it is…THE opportunity to truly move the United States of America into the 21st Century with aplomb.
The last point I wish to make…
What’s up with the stupid conspiracy theories? I saw three different articles in just the last eight hours blaming President Obama and one even fingered his “Muslim mafia”… I mean…You have GOT to be kidding me! I’d laugh if it weren’t so sadly, profoundly ignorant. That’s all I have to say about that.
The next step is to vote the best person into the White House, then at the same time, vote in to Congress those who will ensure the support HE will need to carry his plans into the next fifty years.
IF the GOP in the Senate makes good on its promise, the next President will choose the Justice to replace Scalia. If the American people choose poorly, we will have the balance of the Supreme Court weighing toward the Conservative, and even, regressive ideals. If the American people choose wisely, the scales will be tipped in favour of Progress.
This is a critical time in our country and for politics. A time when not just those of my generation who have become disenchanted with the whole process, but the generations after mine who are realizing that we are leaving behind a country for them that is deteriorating into a Distopian Theocratic Orwellian State, MUST get out and vote. We must be out talking with others…about the ISSUES, NOT tearing each other’s candidates needlessly apart. We MUST be active.

I just explored Central Mindanao with my backpack. My list for one-week journey included the old city, Lake Sebu and Gensan. I later realized that their distance covers the whole region of SOCCSKSARGEN. Many Filipinos are afraid to come here because the province is highly militarized. Warlords and politicians with their mercenary armies are famous for kidnap-for-ransom activities as well as massacre acts such as the Ampatuan Massacre in Maguindanao. My family has no money for ransom and I still have many dreams that I want to live longer. So, why did I take this trip? I just hold on to the belief that not all Filipinos are like our militaries and politicians.
Ahlan Wasahlan! Welcome to Cotabato Airport
I arrived at lunchtime but was too excited to go around that I forgot to eat first in nearby canteens. Besides, I did not like the epal tarpaulins of marines as well as the actual sight of men in uniform showing off their guns to crowds of women in veils waiting for relatives at the gate. I was hoping I could get DOT brochures, map and orientation but there was none at the airport. I contemplated for a while and composed my itinerary. I just followed the rest of passengers, many of whom I suppose were locals. Many took the jeepney. Others took the multi-cab. I thought of taking one but the driver recommended me to a single motorbike if I would be touring around.
Two Samaritans negotiated with the driver for me. It helps that I understand Visayan so I was able to negotiate too. I closed a pakyaw ride for P400 half-day. I was not sure whether this was too low or too high but I would learn later that single motorbike ride in this town is the most expensive public ride because of the gas it exhausts that one ride to the nearest market may cost P40. Kuya driver who also became my guide showed me his ID. I wanted to tell him I’m not some police or sundalo. I did not mind really but it seems that here, it was a routine and a necessary gesture.
Courtesy with Sultan Hadji Hassanal Bolkiah Masjid
Ideally, I wanted to experience the Grand Mosque in sunset worship but my guide insisted we go there as early as 1PM because it was nearest to Awang Airport and that according to him, it was safer to go while it’s not yet dark. I trust Kuya knew best.
The mosque is located in Brgy. Kalanganan and can be seen from the plane window as you touchdown Cotabato. Built as an initiative of the Dilangalen clan with funding from current Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei Darussalam, the mosque claims as being the grandest in the country that can accommodate more than 1,000 people. In scorching noon, staying at the mosque was a breather with fresh air shared by the greenery around and by the historic Tamontaka River which was used as entry point of Spanish colonizers in 14th century.
A bunch of cute Muslim kids were playing in the halls while their father or uncle were asleep. Women were there exchanging stories and helping a visitor like me in taking photos by leading me where to get the best angles. Outside, elder women were selling their fresh harvest of clams. As I left, two cars of domestic and foreign visitors arrived.
The Old Capitol, People’s Palace and ARMM Complex
The Old Provincial Capitol or former government office is located in the town plaza. Its façade features Maranao okir design of veins and flowers. It is sadly now occupied by Marines and is not open to the public.
The quite new city government plaza built during the administration of Datu Muslimin Sema was inaugurated in 2006. Its interior resembles Quezon City Hall except for the okir design and presence of armies.
The ARMM complex, site of most government offices located in Brgy. Rosary Heights was closed when I went there. The night before, it declared a holiday over radio and my guide could not explain what the holiday was all about. I was hoping I could still visit the Cotabato Museum, the Regional Museum and Library and the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Center. Again, soldiers guarded its gate.
Kutawato Cave (Kutang Bato)
Cotabato is the corrupted version of local term Kutawatu, also spelled Kutawato and the Malay term Kotabatu (kota means fortress and batu means stone). The Kutawato cave that lies in Pedro Colina Hill or PC Hill and stretches to Brgy. Awang was ones used as refuge of Moro people against Spanish colonizers. It is now occupied by Marines who annoy visitors by getting their names and private information in the same way as spammers and online syndicates would irritate your innocent exploration. Generally, the PC Hill is converted as settlement for Philippine army and their families. In fact, the Philippine Army 6th Infantry Division has their own cantons in the city and in nearby provinces. I feel this is bastardization of history wherein the legendary cave is turned from being a symbolic marker of sovereignty to a house of civil liberties offenders. I could just imagine how civilians go through everyday of their lives under military rule despite the MILF-GPH Framework Agreement for the Bangsamoro.
Salute to Sultan Dipatuan Kudarat (1590-1671)
I encountered the sultan at the plaza near PC Hill. I am aware of his bust and monument at Manila and Makati as well as of the province named after him. I wonder though whether a serious biographical film was ever produced of the national hero.
A direct descendant of Islam missionary Shariff Muhammed Kabungsuwan from Arab-Malay ethnicity, Sultan Kudarat served as the 7th sultan of Maguindanao from 1619 until his death of old age. Known as Corralat and Qudarat in Spanish chronicles, his sultanate extended from the Pulangi Region to provinces of modern Davao, Cotabato, Zamboanga, Cagayan de Oro, Caraga, Misamis and Bukidnon.
A defender of land and religious rights, he was an example of a leader who was consistent in fighting for liberty and democratic cause. Since the conquest of Spain in Mindanao, he and his warriors fought for the people. Defeated in 1637 by Spanish Governor General Corcuera’s armada, he conducted guerrilla warfare and forged a tribal pact with the sultanate of Sulu and other sultans in modern Mindanao. Through traditional kali and silat offensive (martial arts with aid of knife), Muslim warriors won. Spanish colonizers left their fort in Zamboanga by 1663 thereby surrendering to recognize the leadership of Sultan Kudarat and his territories.
Now his monument is flanked by streamers about peace talks and the defense of Filipino’s claim to Sabah while children play around the park perhaps oblivious to the conflicts going-on. I believe if Sultan Kudarat in his monument could speak now, he will tell the Bangsamoro to hold on to a principled struggle.#

As a psychiatrist at the Wyandot Center in Kansas City, Kansas, Christie Mensch offers evaluation and treatment for a wide variety of mental health challenges. Christie Mensch draws on experience in addressing personality disorders, including schizotypal and schizoid disorders.
Schizotypal and schizoid personality disorders both fall into what the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), calls Cluster A, which features eccentric or unusual behaviors that persist throughout the adult lifespan. Both lead to difficulty building and maintaining relationships, though schizoid personality disorder is more closely linked to emotional detachment.
Individuals with schizoid personality disorder show little interest in having close friends or intimate partners, and they tend to struggle with perceiving and interpreting social cues. In addition, because these individuals present with minimal emotional expression and have trouble showing pleasure or joy, they often appear cold and unfeeling to others.
Those with schizotypal personality disorder tend to spend a great deal of time alone, though this is more likely to stem from an intense and unrelenting social anxiety. A person with this condition may also experience isolation due to speech patterns, emotional responses, and beliefs that differ noticeably from societal norms. Superstitions are common among individuals with this condition, as is a tendency to disproportionately relate outside events back to the self.

Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter’s decision to switch political parties and run for re-election as a Democrat in 2010 reverberated down K Street on Tuesday as lobbyists braced for a dramatically new environment around some of the year’s most heavily lobbied issues.
The move, coming on the eve of President Barack Obama’s first 100 days in office, brings Democrats within one seat of the 60 needed for filibuster-proof control of the chamber.
“The reality is Democrats are going to have 60 votes,— said Steve Elmendorf of Elmendorf Strategies, noting Minnesota Democrat Al Franken’s 312-vote lead over former GOP Sen. Norm Coleman. (A court ruled Franken the winner, but lawyers for Coleman have appealed the ruling.)
“I think the business community is going to have to get very focused on the fact that Democrats are in charge and they have a filibuster [-proof] majority and they should try to work with them more to get things done,— he added.
Specter’s switch has implications across a broad swath of policy areas as the Obama administration tees up massive governmental reforms on health care, climate change, labor and economic policy.
Specter, who previously chaired the Senate Judiciary Committee, also could provide Democrats with a much-needed vote on a Supreme Court justice pick in the near future.
Republicans downtown reacted with shock and dismay over Specter’s decision.
“As a longtime Republican going back to the Reagan administration, I’m really unhappy we forced him out of the party,— said Steven Hart of Williams & Jensen.
Other K Street Republicans said Democrats now have the chore of trying to keep Specter in line.
“I don’t think this makes any difference on how Specter is going to vote,— said Jade West of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors. “Specter has voted as a maverick for his entire career.—
However, Specter’s party switch could mean more to Republican lobbyists’ bottom lines than they’d like to admit.
After largely maintaining their grip on K Street by tapping into business’ desire to block potentially harmful legislation, Republican lobbyists may see their star dim as moderate Democrats such as Sens. Tom Carper (Del.), Blanche Lincoln (Ark.), Ben Nelson (Neb.) and Mark Pryor (Ark.) become the key bloc deciding whether major legislation advances.
“K Street is still dominated by Republicans and now there is no reason whatsoever to hire them in the current environment,— one Democratic lobbyist said.
Republican lobbyists were quick to note that Specter’s party switch doesn’t necessarily change the equation on major legislation such as the Employee Free Choice Act.
Specter said in a statement that he would still vote against the “card check— bill, and business groups regard that as a significant win.
Unions see Specter’s shift as a new opportunity to try to sway the Pennsylvanian on card check.
Word of Specter’s party switch came as Service Employees International Union members protested at a downtown D.C. Bank of America branch.
The union, which is demanding that the bank’s CEO Ken Lewis resign, hosted a series of protests around the U.S. on Tuesday.
Stephen Lerner, an SEIU official participating in Tuesday’s event, said Specter’s defection is proof that “there’s a growing feeling in the country that Republicans are not part of the solution.—
“It’s always good news to see the majority party become an even bigger majority party,— he said.
Later Tuesday afternoon, another union official said privately that Specter’s move “changes the environment significantly— for organized labor’s agenda, noting that “the labor community has a long history with Arlen Specter.—
In the previous Congress, Specter supported an ill-fated card-check bill that would have made it easier for workers to join a union.
The Senator has since had a change of heart, however, officially changing his tune last month after prominent conservative activist and former GOP Rep. Pat Toomey began exploring a primary challenge.
“He’s more freed up to vote his conscience,— the labor official said.
“He’s been in a difficult position lately, having to make decisions based on short-term political calculus rather than what’s genuinely in his heart,— the official added.
Former Rep. David Bonior (D-Mich.), chairman of the union-backed American Rights at Work coalition, noted Specter’s long history of supporting unions, saying in a statement that “we look forward to working with Senator Specter to continue the fight for progressive reforms for working families.—
Additionally, Specter’s party switch could create more opportunity for unions on labor policy that he’s supported in the past like the Family and Medical Leave Act, mandatory health care benefits, and increased minimum wage.
Legislation to deal with greenhouse gas emissions may also have a better chance in the Senate.
“It puts climate change legislation in the realm of possibility,— said one environmental group lobbyist.

We receive many requests from people wanting to come to our home to meet the puppies before leaving a deposit, which is understandable. We are a small, in-home breeder and not a commercial facility, we have to consider our time and the safety of our family and dogs. As you can imagine, it is very concerning to have our doors open to people and all we know about them is the name they gave us. Once we have the puppies' temperament evaluations completed, families that have placed a deposit are welcome to meet and choose a puppy that would best suit your family.
When you come for your visit, do not visit pet stores, kennels, dog parks, breeders or veterinary clinics. Remember to wear freshly laundered clothes on the day of the visit. Shoes are to be left at the front door and there will be hand sanitizer available for you to use before handling the puppies. This does not only help protect us and the puppies but all the families who are waiting to bring their puppy home.
We no longer allow young children on visiting day. We've had too many instances where children are running around our home, and have come close to stepping/falling on puppies.
We understand that you want to see where the puppies are coming from and how they are being raised, but we do not allow people to walk around where the dog's pens are. You may have unknowingly come in contact with the parvo and be carrying it on your shoes and there is no way we could possibly disinfect everywhere you may have walked. Parvo spreads very quickly and can kill in as little as 48 hours. I know of a breeder that has lost 2 litters from parvo and we're trying to avoid it from happening here.
If we have puppies that are 8 weeks or older, and are ready to go, we don't require a deposit to come and see them. Puppies are ready to go on that visit, but if you need a couple of days to prepare, there will be no boarding fee. If you require a longer stay, a boarding fee will be applied to the purchase price.
Please do not go from breeder to breeder! I realize you want to find the right puppy for your family, but you are putting our dogs and puppies at risk. Parvo is very deadly and is affecting dogs/puppies in Manitoba. Once Parvo has been introduced to a property, it is impossible to get rid of, therefore putting our program in jeopardy.

I chose the word sloth for the Weekword prompt this week after finishing my last day at work before our move. I thought I’d be writing about a very lazy week in which I took it easy, ate lunches out with friends, played cards and read novels. Instead, the week filled up with surprises, mostly pleasant, but requiring reams of paperwork and errands. Aw well, I am not a very good sloth anyway!
I recently completed illustrations for a fabulous new novel that takes place in the Amazon rainforest. The book, The Understory was written by Elizabeth Leiknes and will be published this June. I had the great pleasure of creating the cover illustration as well as little rainforest dingbats that were used to separate the sections and decorate the chapter heads. The first step, of course, was to read the book. It was amazing! But don’t take my word for it, check out the reviews on Goodreads. It was a lot of fun researching the plants and animals of the rainforest, especially the adorable sloth! Sloth faces have such personality. Above is a color version.
In the book, a little b/w sloth swings from the letter U in the word Sunday.
It’s nice to be back, thanks for the warm welcome! Now who’s up next? (tapping chin with finger)
Heather will pick our next word! Head over to her blog to get a glimpse of what’s to come!
