the report goes on:

Besides child care, the report also suggested expansion of the federal earned income tax credit, as well as more incentives for states to offer similar refundable tax credits for such families. The report also called on states to improve educational opportunities, such as adult education and literacy programs, for low-income workers who want to move on to higher-paying jobs. Sheri Steisel, director of human services policy at the National Conference of State Legislatures, commended the study but said state lawmakers are hamstrung by tight budgets. "It's not a lack of interest in the topic, but it's a question of financing," she said. "States have had to struggle on where to put their limited dollars." The study urged federal and state lawmakers to work more closely to evaluate government policies and make better use of limited funding. "Obviously under the current (economic) circumstances, that's going to be a very contentious issue, but we would suggest that it's a high priority issue," Roberts said.

JBlaze....I totally agree...I prefer Joe's Marshall tone. I can only describe the JSX as sounding too "Squonky"...like the sound is coming out of someone's nose. I was kind of wondering if maybe some of that tone is attributed to the new PAF "Joe" pick-up.

Does anyone remember a Sprite or Coke commercial that came out a few years ago where they had a guy who was a cross between Yanni and some latin pop star.....and they called him "Yablo"...he played a little pan flute to all the popular songs. It was all a gag but it was funny as hell....I'm trying to dig up something on the net about it but have'nt had any luck. I want a "Yablo" t-shirt...lol !

JBLAZE: I agree about the JSX. However, few of the tracks or solos on ITLIS were actually the JSX. I think the most notable ex of the JSX on that album are the solo in Hands in the Air and I think...I like the rain. Most of the other tunes were the cornford, wells, Bassman, a marshall on lifestyle, and a soldano on the solo to Gnaah. I think the reason the tones still don't have the warm vibe is because Joe is using those Palmer Speaker simulators to go direct. To my ears they are harsh. I record my amp direct with a Hughes and Kettner Red Box Pro, and I think I'm getting much warmer tones than what I hear out of the Palmer. However, this might not be so much the case, because Joe miced up the JSX on Searching....one of the worst tones on the album. I don't think anything about the JSX is superior tonally however. The clean sounds antiseptic, and all of the drive channels have the percussive bass woof that has no finesse even when you turn down. I don't know, I guess you get antsy after a while amd can't leave well enough alone.....

Thanks, Stevee T.

achoo

I think the difference is - but I am not sure - with the platinum you get to get back stage, get to be right in front of the stage, get t-shirt, get photo taken with joe, and can get in a little early.

While "flying" down the road yesterday (10 miles over the limit), a woman passed over a bridge only to find a cop with a radar gun on the other side lying in wait.

The cop pulled her over, walked up to the car, and with that classic patronizing smirk we all know and love, asked, "What's your hurry?"

To which she replied, "I'm late for work."

"Oh yeah," said the cop, "what do you do?"

"I'm a rectum stretcher," she responded.

The cop stammered, "A what? A rectum stretcher? And just what does a rectum stretcher do?"

Well," she said, "I start by inserting one finger, then I work my way up to two fingers, then three, then four, then with my whole hand in. I work from side to side until I can get both hands in, and then I slowly but surely stretch, until it's about 6 feet wide."

"And just what the hell do you do with a 6 foot asshole?" he asked.

"You give him a radar gun and park him behind a bridge..."
