PRESIDENT SARKOZY: Cecilia called Mrs. Bush this morning --
MRS. BUSH: Yes, we talked.
PRESIDENT SARKOZY: -- I went back to France, yes, for the Cardinal's funeral. I know that -- therefore, I know very well that the distance between the U.S. and France is relatively small. (Laughter.) And as I came back I realized that my wife and two of my children had a sore throat. And George will say that I brought it -- (laughter.)

We have had disagreements -- on Iraq, in particular -- but I've never allowed disagreements to not find other ways to work together. The previous administration and my administration worked very closely on Lebanon, and I'm looking forward to building on the progress -- here comes the President.
Thank you for the press conference. Talk it up. Talk it up as a guy who's trying to reach out and be friendly to the Fourth Estate -- that would be the press.

You may be correct. I remember something about the same guys who wrote the PNAC document wrote an earlier document for the Israelis -- can't remember what it was called now, maybe something about "Securing Israel's Future" or words to that effect. It was like a first draft of PNAC -- all about the benefits of taking out Saddam and then neutralizing Syria and Iran.

Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health
Safety and Health Compliance http://www.ica.state.az.us/
"ADOSH compliance activities consist of conducting unannounced safety and health inspections at workplaces throughout Arizona to determine whether employers are complying with the Arizona Occupational Safety and Health Law and standards adopted under that statute. Compliance
ADOSH’s compliance activities consist of conducting unannounced inspections of workplaces throughout Arizona to determine whether employers are complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Act and standards. Inspections may be the result of a work-related accident, a complaint, a referral, a planned inspection or a follow-up to ensure that previously cited serious, repeat or willful violations have been corrected. Inspections involving work-related accidents are generally serious in nature involving multiple injuries or a fatality. A complaint inspection generally is the result of a serious safety/health allegation or a non-response to a written inquiry sent to an employer by ADOSH. A referral generally comes from another government source."
Hmmm, this appears to be not like CalOSHA. Too much about voluntary compliance. I might have to go the public embarrassment route, though I'll still post a complaint.

Hundreds gathered there to celebrate Walsh, who died of leukemia on July 30 at 75. Friday's service included a gospel choir singing "Amazing Graze" and a video recounting Walsh's achievements.
