They can be reprimanded by the state medical board. Henry Hyde (R-Ill.), who died in 2007, bans federal funds from being used for most abortions.

Relish bouncy, tasty cuttlefish balls noodles and HK style fried 'kway ... (Malay Mail)

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — At a glance, you may dismiss Uncle Duck as just a place that sells fish balls as it's on their Chinese signboard.

You also have fresh grouper fish, seafood or oysters paired with soup and a choice of rice or noodles. They also offer various food items which are frozen and pre-packed, if you want to cook at home. High on the list is the fried kway teow with beef (RM15.50). I guess everyone would order their milk tea (RM5.50) but this version tends to be milkier as the taste of the tea doesn't come through much. Moreover it wasn't too sweet and you get to choose whether you want it cold or hot. Apparently another winner is their Yang Chow fried rice so that's next on my list for a re-visit. I went for the fried pig's intestines (RM9) since that is something I really like. This was served with a piece of fish skin and spinach. These fried fish balls with their golden exterior are stewed in this lightly spicy but fragrant curry sauce that I couldn't stop eating. If you're dining here with a big group of people, you can add small bites to accompany your meal. I was also ecstatic that they offer spicy fish balls or what we usually call curry fish balls (RM6 for six fish balls). Made in-house, these are delicious bites with just the right balance of bounciness.

Buckle up, Congress: A 'very lame' lame duck is coming after the ... (Politico)

Tens of billions in hurricane relief for Florida are landing on Congress' to-do list for a post-election lame-duck session that already looked grueling.

He predicted serious talks to fund the government wouldn’t kick off until “about a week before” the deadline.” Mike Johnson, who serves in House GOP leadership, said he’s “open to the dialogue” and added that “I see both sides” of the argument. “There’s a scenario where the biggest sacrifice is sleep for a couple weeks,” said Rep. He predicted that pressure would be ”extremely strong to get every piece of legislation that we feel is important to our constituency and to the country on the floor.” If Republicans take the House, though, emboldened conservatives may try once again to extract spending cuts in return for a debt ceiling lift. Schumer is planning to bring up a bipartisan same-sex marriage deal after shelving the bill before the election instead of risking its demise thanks to a Republican filibuster. And as the longest 50-50 Senate ever draws to a close, Sen. “The lame duck is going to be very lame,” said Rep. Republicans are also starting to sweat the debt limit, which could be nearly a year away. If House Democrats improbably hold on to the majority, there may be less of a crush of legislation — but plenty of drama around their caucus’s leadership contest. Senate Minority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.) drolly predicted days filled with “what everyone wanted to do during the Christmas holidays: watch C-SPAN.” Ultimately, both parties expect a whopping price tag that loads further labor on lawmakers returning to Washington after the midterms.

Main Roads WA's plan to lower Charles street for 'duck and dive ... (ABC News)

A plan to sink parts of the Charles street thoroughfare near the Perth CBD is expected to reduce congestion and attract active forms of transport.

That should be a concept that we take on board. "I'll be interested to see the full plans. "It's a different concept to changing an intersection, with an underpass for the cars as opposed to having an underpass for pedestrians. "I have personally never taken much frustration to this intersection, and I have lived in the area for nearly a decade," he said. "The planning review and concept will inform a future planning control area and an amendment to the Metropolitan Regional Scheme that ultimately reserves the land required for the future Charles street." "In order to institute road widening of this magnitude, land would have to be acquired by the state government through the planning commission to allow that widening to occur," he said.

Wreck: a killer duck on a cruise ship? This is TV I can get on board with (The Guardian)

This camp comedy caper about students being picked off by a quacking killer is fun – but it could leave you feeling very old indeed.

Are you in that wilderness period of your life where you are not eligible for a single railcard? It’s hard to get the tone of shows with young casts who are balancing the three plates of “snappy flirty dialogue”, “genuine-feeling friendships and enemies” and “contending with real-world conundrums”’ exactly right, but Wreck pulls off the trick in a similar way to Sex Education. As of this year, it’s back as a terrestrial channel, but something has happened in the meantime. Whenever you watch an episode from the third season of one of these shows, it is vaguely important to ask yourself: is this good? In hindsight I realise it wasn’t that funny, it just happened while my body was flushed with hormones and every possible emotion – joy, despair – was only felt at the absolute maximum range of my interior spectrum. When I was 17, my mates and I made a man out of bread.
