HOWEY STORY, Ind. - There was a barn sale in the bucolic hills of Brown County on Sunday and as people milled around the tables of used tools and clothes the talk turned to politics and, ultimately, President Obama. “He’s the worst president ever,” a woman said.

I See London, I See France THE CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE TO “SAGGY” PANTS LAWS In recent years, a number of communities across the United States have passed laws against what can only be described as a new low: saggy pants. “Saggy” or “baggy” pants, the wearing of which is commonly called “sagging,”1 is a style of dress characterized by the wearing of pants well below the waist, thus exposing underwear and/or flesh to public view.2 While the style has been around since at least the early 1990s,3 previous efforts to prohibit saggy pants have focused on banning them in the public schools context because of their association with urban street gangs.4 Now, however, outraged communities have extended the battle to the public streets by enacting indecent exposure laws intended to criminalize the wearing of saggy pants.5 However, these ordinances have not been without controversy.6 Free speech and civil rights advocates have heavily criticized these laws as an infringement upon freedom of expression, and potentially motivated by racial bias.7 At least 1 Saggy-Pants Laws No Longer Butt of Jokes: Va.

  • Profiles in Manufacturing 09-07-17
    Profiles in American Solar Manufacturing First Edition August 2017 Introduction American solar manufacturing is a diverse economic powerhouse that employs 38,000 workers. There are more than 600 facilities in the United States that manufacture for the solar industry. The products these companies make include steel and polysilicon, inverters and trackers, cabling and combiner boxes, and cells and panels. They also fabricate racking and mounting systems and they are innovating every step of the way. If the International Trade Commission approves Suniva’s remedy, much of the manufacturers profiled here will be severely injured and the number of jobs potentially lost will be many times those temporarily gained by the petitioners. The companies mentioned here are owned by Americans and overseas investors, but they all have one thing in common, they have found a way to compete in the marketplace, through innovation, efficiency and good business decisions.

    HBO PREMIERES HBO FILM: GAME CHANGE HBO PREMIERES HBO FILM: GAME CHANGE Starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris as John McCain,&nbsp;the film debuts May 5th in the Caribbean Miami, April 30th, 2012 &ndash; HBO Latin America announced the May 5th premiere of the original HBO Film Game Change in the Caribbean. Starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin and Ed Harris as John McCain, the film is an adaptation of the non-fiction best-selling book, Game Change, which offers an insider&rsquo;s look at the 2008 presidential campaign, shedding particular light on Governor Sarah Palin&rsquo;s road to national fame. From executive producers Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, Game Change offers a searing, behind-the-scenes look at John McCain&rsquo;s (Ed Harris) 2008 vie for presidency, from the decision to select Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as McCain&rsquo;s running mate to the ticket&rsquo;s ultimate defeat in the general election just sixty days later. Told primarily through the eyes of senior McCain strategist Steve Schmidt (Woody Harrelson), who originally championed Palin and later came to regret the choice, Game Change pulls back the curtain on the intense human drama surrounding the McCain team, the predicaments encountered behind closed doors and how the choice was made to incorporate Palin into a high profile national campaign despite growing fears of the governor&rsquo;s lacking knowledge in world affairs.&nbsp; As the film reveals, McCain strategists viewed the selection of a running mate as their last, and perhaps only, chance to catch Barack Obama.
