An Interview With Sofia: John Mayer Meets kd lang
I recently sat down with up-and-coming singer-songwriter Sofia. We had so much fun talking that I lost myself in a few places. What? I'm not a professional journalist. I am a butch lawyer who writes a blog, and I can count on one hand how many times I have actually sat down with another butch. What follows is (most of) our conversation.

Careers in energy have promise, educator says
First energy career fair by institute held Friday
MADISON, Wis. - The energy industry isn't just for scientists or engineers. Folks in the field said virtually every career will be impacted by green energy.
Wisconsin Energy Institute hosted the first Energy Career Fair in Madison Friday.
UW senior Saxon McKinven is on the hunt for a job with graduation a month and a half away. The economics major is one of many students exploring careers at the career fair.
"I'm really interested in energy because it's really going to be a big topic in the future, so I thought I'd come and check out what positions they have, and see if there are any spots for me," McKinven said. "And I think there might be."
Nearly two dozen Wisconsin-based employers came to talk with students.
Education Director John Greenler said the energy industry will be an important part of our economy in the future, so employers are looking for people from diverse backgrounds with unique skills.
"Longterm, I think the careers in energy have a lot of promise for these students especially," Greenler said.
He said everything from communications specialists to healthcare workers will be needed as the field expands.
"We really are trying to branch out beyond that traditional view of energy being just science and engineering. While they are still important, we need much more," Greenler added.
He said breakthroughs are constantly happening in the energy field both nationally and internationally.
In an uncertain job market, those looking for work are casting a wider net in hopes of reeling in work.
"I just try and saturate everything possible. Hopefully over time something will stick and I'll find the right match for my career," McKinven said.VIDEO: Careers in energy have promise, educator says

Press Report: The Led Zeppelin concert at the showgrounds last Sunday must rate as one of the best ever held in Sydney - but, if the crowd had not stormed the fences, it could have been the worst.
The official attendence figure was 27,000 but senior police officers at the concert estimated the crowd at "at least 30,000". According to showground officials the three stands used last Sunday have a maximum capacity of 25,000 - so whatever way you look at it the ground was dangerously overcrowded.
Despite the fact that there were no seats left at mid-day and no standing room by 1.30pm., people were still coming through the gates at 2.30pm. The overcrowding that existed before the fences were stormed must never be allowed to occur again because next time someone could be killed in the crush. Once capacity is reached the gates should be closed. David D. Bryant The Sun-Herald, 5 March 1972, p. 109.

I was 18 years of age when I
I was 18 years of age when I went to the concert& could not believe that anyone could be as cool as Robert Plant when I saw him on stage. The concert is far and away the greatest concert I have ever seen and it was truly a defining moment for me. I grew my hair & became a surfie/hippy introducing the look into Maroubra Beach scene.They are truly the greatest Band ever & my son who is 2 months away from turning 18 is into Led Zeppellin in a big way.


text: This game (and the collecting and leveling up of all the figures) is about as addicting as it gets. I love it, my whole family loves it. This is a truly wonderful (though costly) idea and product. The figures are painted well and the game mechanics are fun with very polished controls and variety of special powers amongst characters. Speaking of which, get Hothead and Stealth Elf... you won't be disappointed :)

--Campaign Reports of Federal Committees Going Online Immediately in Growing Number of States --
WASHINGTON – Ten additional states and a U.S. territory have been certified by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as exempt from a federal requirement to receive and maintain paper copies of campaign finance reports from Presidential and U.S. House of Representatives candidates and most political committees, bringing total certification to date to 22 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The initial 12 states were certified by the Commission on December 8, 1999 (see December 10 news release, FEC Web site, www.fec.gov).
Replacing the paper filings is electronic Internet access to campaign reports of most federal candidates and committees. Reports are accessed through the FEC's Internet Web site, and the FEC has provided computer hardware and software, including laser printers, to those states requesting them.
Certified this week by the Commission to participate in the program are California, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tennessee, Vermont, U.S. Virgin Islands, Washington, and West Virginia.
In December 1995, President Clinton signed Public Law 104-79, which exempts states from receiving and maintaining paper copies of federal campaign finance reports provided that the state, "as determined by the Commission, has a system that permits electronic access to, and duplication of, reports and statements that are filed with the Commission."
The FEC began posting disclosure reports filed by Presidential and House candidates, parties and political action committees, on its Web site in 1997 and has since expanded the site to include electronic filings and a query system that allows for on-line searches of the campaign finance data base. The public in the certified states will be accessing the FEC's Web site to view campaign finance reports, but they are the same reports from federal candidates that, by regulation, have to date been duplicated in paper form and filed with the state.
Upon connection to the FEC's Web site, the states have access to reports filed since 1993 for PACs, party and Presidential committees, and since 1996 for Congressional committees.
The state waiver program does not apply to reports filed by campaigns for United States Senate candidates and other political committees that support only U.S. Senate. Point of entry for Senate candidates' reports remains with the U.S. Senate, not the FEC. While the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee file their reports with the Senate, copies of their reports are available on the FEC Web site because the Senate provides the FEC with paper copies that meet requirements for scanning.
Certification by the FEC is indicative that these states and territory possess an adequate computerized system to allow the public electronic access to, and duplication of, reports and statements that are filed with the FEC. Criteria leading to their certification by the FEC were: (1)Possession of at least one computer terminal that can electronically access the Commission's Web page, with at least one printer (connected either directly or through a network); and (2)the state or territory will, to the greatest extent possible, allow anyone requesting federal campaign finance data, the use of this computer terminal, at any time during regular business hours.

we are truly fricked
Hicks suggested the Libyan government expected a request to use their airspace, and claimed the Libyans "were as surprised as we were" that U.S. military personnel did not arrive until later on.
"a team of Special Forces prepared to fly from Tripoli to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks was forbidden from doing so by U.S. Special Operations Command South Africa."
What was it like a week or two after benghazi he was releived of his command...
I can't understand why
When the Admiral on the carrier group in the med was removed
Has it ever been confirmed that we has a carrier or an amphibious assault ship in the med at the time?
The last time the US navy sent three aircraft carriers into the Arabian Sea/Persian Gulf was just a few short weeks before WTI broke above $110, and aggressive military tensions, coupled with concerns of an imminent invasion of Iran by Israel and/or 'others', were running high. Then summer arrived, as did the need to lower the price of gas and crude ahead of a veritable cornucopia of central banks easing into June and July, not to mention the need to keep gas as low as possible into the July 4th holiday. Now that the peak summer months are behind us this is all changing, and 4 months ahead of the presidential election, the need to have the "Wag the Dog" put option to round up the troops, not to mention votes, has arrived, as has the need to return to an outright aggressive military stance where Iran is concerned. Which is why we were not very surprised to learn that that Middle East veteran aircraft carrier, the CVN-74 Stennis, is going right back into Mordor, a few short months after it came back from its long stint in the Fifth Fleet, and will shortly complete the trio of aircraft carriers stationed within miles of Iran.
According to excerpts released Monday, Hicks told investigators that SOCAFRICA commander Lt. Col. Gibson and his team were on their way to board a C-130 from Tripoli for Benghazi prior to an attack on a second U.S. compound "when [Col. Gibson] got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, 'you can't go now, you don't have the authority to go now.' And so they missed the flight ... They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it."
No assistance arrived from the U.S. military outside of Libya during the hours that Americans were under attack or trapped inside compounds by hostile forces armed with rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and AK-47 rifles.
Hicks told congressional investigators that if the U.S. had quickly sent a military aircraft over Benghazi, it might have saved American lives. The U.S. Souda Bay Naval Base is an hour's flight from Libya.
"I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them," Hicks testified. Two Americans died in the morning mortar attack.
Obama administration officials have insisted that no military resources could have made it in time. A White House official told CBS News that, at the start of the attack, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Martin Dempsey and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta "looked at available options, and the ones we exercised had our military forces arrive in less than 24 hours, well ahead of timelines laid out in established policies."
Hicks is expected to be the first ground-level eyewitness to speak publicly in the nearly eight months since the terrorist attacks that killed Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans. When Stevens went missing, Hicks became the Chief of Mission for the U.S. in Libya.
Ambassador Susan Rice and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton initially indicated the attacks were not planned acts of terror, but an outgrowth of a spontaneous protest over an anti-Islamic YouTube video. Unidentified government officials removed references to terrorism and al Qaeda from so-called "talking points" released to the public shortly after the attacks.
FBI posts new pictures of Benghazi suspects
Timeline: How Benghazi attack, investigation unfolded
Below are the released excerpts from Hicks' April interview with congressional investigators on the House Oversight Committee.
Q: But do you think, you know, if an F-15, if the military had allowed a jet to go fly over, that it might have prevented [the second attack]?
A: Yeah, and if we had gotten clearance from the Libyan military for an American plane to fly over Libyan airspace. The Libyans that I talked to and the Libyans and other Americans who were involved in the war have told me also that Libyan revolutionaries were very cognizant of the impact that American and NATO airpower had with respect to their victory. They are under no illusions that American and NATO airpower won that war for them. And so, in my personal opinion, a fast-mover flying over Benghazi at some point, you know, as soon as possible might very well have prevented some of the bad things that happened that night.
Q : The theory being, the folks on the ground that are doing these -- committing these terrorist attacks look up, see a heavy duty airplane above, and decide to hightail it?
A: I believe that if -- I believe if we had been able to scramble a fighter or aircraft or two over Benghazi as quickly as possible after the attack commenced, I believe there would not have been a mortar attack on the annex in the morning because I believe the Libyans would have split. They would have been scared to death that we would have gotten a laser on them and killed them.
Q: I just wanted to ask, you mentioned permission from the Libyans. Why is that important? What did you mean by that?
A: Well, it's their country. And for an American military aircraft to fly over their country, we have to have permission from them to do so.
Q: So what would have been the risk of -- do you think it would have been risky for us to send someone, do you think it would have been counterproductive for us to send a fighter pilot plane over Benghazi without that permission?
A: We would have certainly wanted to obtain that permission. I believe we would have gotten it if we had asked. I believe that the Libyans were hoping that we were going to come bail them out of this mess. And, you know, they were as surprised as we were that American -- the military forces that did arrive only arrived on the evening of September 12. Yeah.
Q: So, at this point [at approximately 10:00 pm in Tripoli], you are talking to Washington, you are talking to your RSO Martinec, you are talking to RAO. Are you talking to the Defense Attache?
A: The Defense Attache is there, and he is immediately on the phone to Ministry of Defense and to chief of staff of the Libyan Armed Forces. He also notifies Joint Staff and AFRICOM. Our SOCAFRICA lead, Lieutenant Colonel Gibson, connects with SOCAFRICA in Stuttgart, as well. And, obviously, RAO is also connected back home.
Q: Was there ever any thought at that time of the night to have an F-16, you know, fly over?
A: I called -- when we knew that -- I talked with the Defense Attache, Lt. Col. Keith Phillips, and I asked him, "Is there anything coming?" And he said that the nearest fighter planes were Aviano, that he had been told that it would take two to three hours to get them airborne, but that there were no tanker assets near enough to support a flight from Aviano.
A: And for the second time that night [Before 5:15 AM attack], I asked the Defense Attache, is there anything coming, is there anything out there to help our people from, you know, big military? And the answer, again, was the same as before.
Q: And what was that answer?
A: The answer was, it's too far away, there are no tankers, there is nothing, there is nothing that could respond.
Q: So you had mentioned that the first team from Tripoli to Benghazi arrived at 1:15?
A: Right.
Q: And was there a second team that was organized? Could you tell us about the second team?
A: Right. The second team -- the Defense Attache worked assiduously all night long to try to get the Libyan military to respond in some way. Early in the morning -- sorry, after we were formally notified by the Prime Minister, who called me, that Chris had passed, the Libyan military agreed to fly their C-130 to Benghazi and carry additional personnel to Benghazi as reinforcements. Because we at that time -- at that time, the third attack, the mortar attack at 5:15, had not yet occurred, if I remember correctly.
Q: So what time did the second rescue team ??
A: Well, again, they flew -- I think that flight took off sometime between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m.
Q: At that point, you are the Chief of Mission?
A: Yeah, I'm Chief of Mission effective 3:00 a.m.
Q: Now, did any of the Special Forces folks, were they planning at any time to travel on that second aircraft?
A: On the second, on the C-130? Yes. We fully intended for those guys to go, because we had already essentially stripped ourselves of our security presence, or our security capability to the bare minimum ...
A: So Lieutenant Colonel Gibson, who is the SOCAFRICA commander, his team, you know, they were on their way to the vehicles to go to the airport to get on the C-130 when he got a phone call from SOCAFRICA which said, you can't go now, you don't have authority to go now. And so they missed the flight. And, of course, this meant that one of the ...
Q : They didn't miss the flight. They were told not to board the flight.
A: They were told not to board the flight, so they missed it. So, anyway, and yeah. I still remember Colonel Gibson, he said, "I have never been so embarrassed in my life that a State Department officer has bigger balls than somebody in the military." A nice compliment.
Q: Now, at this point, are you having communications with Washington?
A: I was in communications with Washington all night long. I was reporting all night long what was happening to Washington by telephone.
Q: When these Special Forces folks were told essentially to stand down, what was your next move? Did you have a recourse? Were you able to call Washington? Were you able to call anyone at this point to get that decision reversed?
A: No, because the flight was -- the flight was leaving. And, you know, if they missed -- you know, if the vehicles didn't leave when they leave, they would miss the flight time at the airport. And the airport -- you know, we were going all the way to Mitiga. The C-130 is at Mitiga, which is all the way on the other side of Tripoli.
Q: What was the rationale that you were given that they couldn't go, ultimately?
A: I guess they just didn't have the right authority from the right.
Obama Letter Special Prosecutor:
Obama, I gave orders: Here at 2:00 minute mark:
Unreal: On Day Following Libya Assassinations, Obama Skips Another Intel Briefing
quote:How would any of this make Obama look bad? If the military professionals never went to him to ask for approval on anything it would be on them.
I hate to get my hopes up, but it does appear that there is a lot here to make Obama and Clinton look very, very bad.
How would any of this make Obama look bad?

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 9:04 PM GMT on July 09, 2012
Thanks in part to the historic heat wave that demolished thousands of high temperature records at the end of June, temperatures in the contiguous U.S. were the warmest on record over the past twelve months and for the year-to-date period of January - June, said NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) on Monday. June 2012 was the 14th warmest June on record, so was not as extreme overall as March 2012 (first warmest March on record), April (third warmest April), or May (second warmest May.) However, temperatures were warm enough in June to set a new U.S. record for hottest 12-month period for the third straight month, narrowly eclipsing the record set just the previous month. The past thirteen months have featured America's 2nd warmest summer (in 2011), 4th warmest winter, and warmest spring on record. Twenty-six states were record warm for the 12-month period, and an additional sixteen states were top-ten warm. The year-to-date period of January - June was the warmest on record by an unusually large margin--1.2°F.
Figure 1. This time series shows the five warmest years that the contiguous U.S. has experienced, and how the year-to-date temperature evolved each month throughout those years. The time series also shows the 2012 year-to-date temperature through June, which was the warmest first half of any year on record for the lower 48. The 2012 data are still preliminary. Image credit: NOAA/NCDC.
Figure 2. Four of the top-ten warmest 12-month periods in the contiguous U.S. since 1895 have occurred since April 2011. Image credit: NOAA/NCDC.
Most extreme January - June period on record
NOAA's U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI), which tracks the percentage area of the contiguous U.S. experiencing top-10% and bottom-10% extremes in temperature, precipitation, and drought, was 44% during the year-to-date January - June period. This is the highest value since CEI record-keeping began in 1910, and more than twice the average value. Remarkably, 83% of the contiguous U.S. had maximum temperatures that were in the warmest 10% historically during the first six months of 2012, and 70% of the U.S. of the U.S. had warm minimum temperatures in the top 10%. The percentage area of the U.S. experiencing top-10% drought conditions was 20%, which was the 14th greatest since 1910. Extremes in 1-day spring heavy precipitation events were near average.
Figure 3. NOAA's U.S. Climate Extremes Index (CEI) for January - June shows that 2012 has had the most extreme first six months of the year on record, with 44% of the contiguous U.S. experiencing top-10% extreme weather.

"New McCarthyism" targets climate scientists
Bill Blakemore with ABC News has an interesting five-part interview with climate scientist Dr. Michael Mann, where Dr. Mann explains how a "New McCarthyism" is targeting climate scientists. I reviewed Dr. Mann's excellent book, "The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars", earlier this year.
A 1 in 1.6 million event?
I originally wrote in this post that "Each of the 13 months from June 2011 through June 2012 ranked among the warmest third of their historical distribution for the first time in the 1895 - present record. According to NCDC, the odds of this occurring randomly during any particular month are 1 in 1,594,323. Thus, we should only see one more 13-month period so warm between now and 124,652 AD--assuming the climate is staying the same as it did during the past 118 years."
It has been pointed out to me that the calculation of a 1 in 1.6 million chance of occurrence (based on taking the number 1/3 and raising it to the 13th power) would be true only if each month had no correlation to the next month. Since weather patterns tend to persist, they are not truly random from one month to the next. Thus, the odds of such an event occurring are greater than 1 in 1.6 million--but are still very rare. I appreciate hearing from those of you who wrote to point out a correction was needed.

text: Just finished watching this one. Not sure, but it could be worst one I've ever seen. How do you hit things in hyperspace (doesn't it just pull the ship into realspace when near a solid body?) Reminded me of Star Tours, the first one (including the pit droid's voice like REX's). No footprints? Then birds show up to run? Hot but no sun? That weird echo of their voices? Far too much "banter" from droids. Huh? This is part of the Disney-ification I fear with the new films, even if these episodes were done before the deal.

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) — A Gulfport man was severely cut when he tried to escape from a burning home that authorities say had an extensive marijuana growing operation inside.
The Sun Herald reports (http://bit.ly/WX5yGj ) the unidentified injured man was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Police say the home owner, 41-year-old Roger Tejas-Silva, was charged with cultivation of marijuana and possession with intent to distribute marijuana. He was booked Monday at the Harrison County jail on bonds of $50,000 set by Justice Court Judge Brandon Ladner.
Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt said someone had covered the doors and windows with reflective insulation, and had rigged up an electrical system that was too much for the house to handle.
It was unclear whether Tejas-Silva has an attorney.

STARKVILLE – This week's unveiling of the annual "Kids Count" Data Book for Mississippi will – as always – stir interest on both sides of the state's legislative aisle as Democrats and Republicans alike confront reliable statistics from the leading resource for comprehensive research and information on the Mississippi's children.
With state leaders engaged in substantive debates over contentious issues like charter schools, school district consolidation, Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges, and the annual struggles to fund public education at all levels and public health care in the poorest state in the union, the "Kids Count" data focuses on information vital to proponents and opponents of those issues alike.
The data produced is often jarring and uncomfortable to confront. The latest edition documents the fact that while 22.4 percent of all Mississippians live in poverty, the poverty rate for Mississippi children under age 5 is 37.5 percent while 30.2 percent of children age 5-17 live in poverty.
Madison County has a per capita income of $31,517 while neighboring Holmes County has a per capita income of $11,585. Those numbers belie the more disturbing statistic that finds 15 percent of Mississippi children – the highest percentage in the nation – live in extreme poverty.
Most appalling, as cited recently by Gov. Phil Bryant, is the fact that Mississippi teens are giving birth at the highest rate in the nation and at a rate 39 percent higher than the national average.
What separates the "Kids Count" work from other public advocacy groups that focus solely on the litany of depressing economic indices in which Mississippi is rated at or near last is the fact that the group actively seeks out and recognizes Mississippi groups and programs that are making a positive difference in changing those dismal outcomes.
The 2013 "Kids Count" Data Book reviews research on health, safety, economic well-being and education. The 2013 "Kids Count" Summit will be held Friday, Feb. 22 at 8 a.m. at Christ United Methodist Church in Jackson. The plenary speaker is youth advocate and U.S. Army veteran Wes Moore, the author of the bestselling book "The Other Wes Moore." During the event, the group will honor the Jackson Medical Mall Foundation's Childhood Obesity Project, Biloxi's Moore Community House, and the Starkville School District's Emerson Family Centered Programs as "Kids Count" Success Story award recipients.
The innovative Mississippi Children's Museum in Jackson earned recognition as the group's 2013 "Program of Promise."
The research is conducted by the Family and Children Research Unit at Mississippi State University's Social Science Research Center, but is funded in by a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and MSU's Division of Agriculture, Forestry and Veterinary Medicine. The organization is influenced by a diverse advisory board with representatives from public and private agencies including the state Department of Health, state Department of Mental Health, the state Attorney General's office, North Mississippi Health Services, the CREATE Foundation, the University of Mississippi Medical Center, the 4-H Foundation, Alcorn State University and Southern Ag Credit.

text: I watched this showed the last year or so and have to say I really like it. All the people on the show are very real as are the hunting they do of the alligators. I give them a ton of credit for what they do. I wondering is there anyone on here who watches the show too? To me it is very addicting. I didn't think I like it that much from the get go but it got good as it went along and now I can't get enough of it. Just looking to see if there are some fellow fans out there like me.

I have seen this mentioned many times. A guy does the fighting purrs on a pot call and uses 2 strikers. Or some even use 2 calls (pot and a mouth call for example).
Why do you use 2 strikers or 2 calls?
Is it really necessary? If so, then why?
Why not just one striker or 1 call? Seems a lot easier to me to just do the fight purrs with one striker instead of balancing the pot somehow and using a striker in each hand.
Also...why we are on the subject;
Do you continue to do the fight purrs until you see the bird coming in, or maybe even after you get a visual?
Or do you stop the calling before the bird shows up?

He aims, he kicks, he scores a field goal! He may not know it, but he's also applying an important law of physics: Newton's second law of motion.
The Back Story
- Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object equals the net force acting on the object divided by the object's mass. An object accelerates whenever it undergoes a change in velocity, that is, a change in the speed or direction of motion.
- Watch this video to see how Newton's second law applies to kicking field goals in football: http://www.nbclearn.com/nfl/cuecard/50974
Can You Apply It?
Learn more about Newton's second law and kicking a football at the link below. Then answer the questions that follow.
- In kicking a field goal in football, how is force applied to the ball? How much force is applied to the ball by an NFL kicker?
- What is an impulse? How is it calculated?
- How does a larger impulse affect the football when it is kicked?
- Footballs used in the American NFL and the Canadian CFL differ in mass. What is the mass of each football? How does the mass of a football affect its motion when it is kicked?
- What is inertia? How does the mass of an object such as a football relate to its inertia?
- How is the acceleration of an object calculated if you know its mass and the amount of force that is applied to it?
- If a net force of 300 N is applied to both an NFL football and a CFL football, what is the acceleration of each ball?

I just read a thoughtful article on illegal immigration at Townhall. There is some common sense in it ...
The question is raised about why we need a wall between US/Mexico, but not US/Canada. Mexico has natural resources to fuel growth. It has beautiful areas for tourists. It has hard-working people (as evidenced by how hard many of the illegal immigrants will work for low-wage jobs) and by the fact that US production factories go there for the low-wage advantage. So, why do their citizens risk life and limb to come to the US illegally?
This article pins the blame on a corrupt, ineffective national govt. We see evidence of that every day in the news. The Federales cannot control the vicious drug cartel violence ... govt officials being murdered; some villages forming their own vigilante protection. The corruption of govt officials by cartels is often cited. It is very likely that such graft is also true from other sources, not just the drug cartels.
It would appear that if Mexican govt cleaned itself up, could exploit it's natural resources and labor force, they could have a very healthy economy.
So, the answer may be in Mexico, itself, creating an environment in which its workforce wants to stay home wiith their families. We can't really blame a socialist govt format, since Canada has become more like that in terms of nationalized medicine. Mexico also has socialized medicine, but the people still can't afford it. Canada's medical system appears not to be perfect (based on the # of Canadians who come to the US for treatment when the wait is too long in Canada), but overall the Canadian govt serves the needs of its population more effectively than Mexico's does.
I think it can also be true that the illegals are aware of the social services they can acquire in the US, so even if they are low-income, they will still do better than they would in Mexico. That is surely part of the problem, but even that is rooted in the fact that Mexico cannot afford to take care of its people at a basic level.
Why concentrate on Mexico? Because it is where the majority of illegal immigrants come from (according to the article). Also, it would be easier to track down people who originally came to the US on valid visas (and over-stayed those visas) v. people who came here with no such ability for tracking.
The thing that is not simple is how to incentivize Mexico to make the changes that will keep its citizens in their home country.
Perhaps the NAFTA trade agreement was an effort to create such an environment? Obviously, though, it has not succeeded in doing so. Why? Is that effort also riddled with graft and corruption?
"Know in your heart that all things are possible. We couldn't conceive of a miracle if none ever happened." -Libby Fudim
I don't use the PM feature, so just email me direct at the address shown above.
Mexico want its people to come here. The money they send back to the homeland is one of their biggest industries.
Bill Davis

Big Brother, Where Art Thou?
Oh yes, there you are, with your party hat on.
What with the recent NSA scandal, George Orwell's dystopian caution that "Big Brother is watching you" has never seemed so relevant. In fact, sales of 1984 skyrocketed just after news broke that the US government was tapping into your average Verizon member's mundane phone calls. So, how better to celebrate Orwell's birthday this week than by a subtle nod to the constant gaze of the Party–complete with party hats?
Such was the idea of the Dutch artist duo Thomas Voor't Hekke and Bas van Oerle (known collectively as "FRONT 404"). Their simple concept was to decorate the ubiquitous security cameras of Utrecht with eye-catching birthday hats.

Brennan's drone attacks on US citizens? This is a tight rope which he should not try to walk. US soil there is a problem, it is a simple no, but the American public has tunnel vision. FDR had put Japanese American's in camps during WWII with no just cause.
If i am a Democrat my response. Do you want to have a American citizen on foreign soil, planning attacks on America, and meeting with terrorists? Allow them all to escape and carry out the attack killing thousands maybe millions. (You always have to put the pie in the sky)
Where surveys done, in different cities of Germany, to make sure there were no Americans before bombing? How about the cities in Japan before the A bomb was dropped? NO
Though drone attacks may be a good thing now, who is to stop the potential for abuse in the future? I have no problem killing anyone planning any type of attack on our citizens. It is down the road where this can be abused. I don't like the deviation away from The Constitution as it has been trampled by both the Dems and Repubs in the past and present. If we are to have these kind of Drones attacks, then there needs to be some kind of checks and balance to prevent abuse.
The the other terrorist don't need an excuse to hate us... It comes naturally... They cheer in the streets when Americans die.
You sound like Nancy Pelosi and every dollar of unemployment creates $1.73 in the economy?
That sentence says it all. Foreign Policy was the scariest aspect of a Romney Presidency. Not only are we growing Islamic terrorism with our Forign Poicy, we are going broke doing so. Not to mention that we have upset the balance of power in the mideast in favor of the Iranians. Make no mistake about it, the NeoCons and Military Industrial Complex will do all that they can to scare the American people into going to war with the Persians.
This has happened over there more than we would care to admit. Another instance a village elder stood up and proclaimed to his village one night that Al-qaeda is evil and they would not support them in any way. The next day the alqaeda in the area were angry wanted to meet with him. He decided to have a talk with them outside the city to tell them to stay away from his community. He met them under a tree, and the next thing that happened was vaporization. How do you think the village reacted? Do you think they said, "well thats what he gets for trying to talk to terrorists" or do you think resentment built up towards America?
Terrorists don't need an excuse to hate us, but we give non-terrorists or apathetic muslims reason to hate us everyday. This is why Ron Paul said our Foreign Policy should follow the "Golden Rule" in a debate. He got booed by the crowd, and it goes to show, the best way to make a conservative mad is to quote scripture to them and ask them to live by it.
And this may demonstrate how this whole thing in the ME is a no-win situation. The leader spoke out against something wrong; and the bad guys killed him. Rather than blame any of "their own", the people would rather blame an outsider for the brave leader's attempt to point out what was wrong.Quote:
He met them under a tree, and the next thing that happened was vaporization. How do you think the village reacted? Do you think they said, "well thats what he gets for trying to talk to terrorists" or do you think resentment built up towards America?
In this example, not quite what I was thinking. Those who did the vaporization should be at fault ... if you mean that the US learned of the meeting and were the ones to do the vaporization. Then, I can see your point. In that case, it surely is a level of ignorance (lack of intel) to discern the situation "on the ground".Quote:
but we give non-terrorists or apathetic muslims reason to hate us everyday.

I would much rather sign Jared Cook and keep the draft pick you give up for Finley.
No thanks at Bailey @ 12
no I say we resign Hartline and sign Jennings or Wallace none of these recievers in the draft are worth the 12 pick
I question whether it will be necessary to trade for Finley but regardless I believe my reaction would be this:
i poop my pants with joy then run to the nearest computer and order Dolphins seasons tickets.
Hell i'd do that if we draft Patterson and Bailey- What a dynamic combo
I thought signing Bowe with precious FA dollars was bad enough, then it got worse when guys started talking about spending money AND a draft pick for Finley. Maybe we could bring back Brandon Marshall and Chad Johnson. I also hear Jeremy Shockey, Terrell Owens and Albert Haynesworth are looking for work. We could get Vince Young to be our new backup and trade for Santonio Holmes!
Make it happen, Ireland!
Better hope Finley is motivated to earn a bigger contract, Jennings stays motivated after overspending for a 30 yrs old with diminished production, rookies are rookies, and wheres the defense?

Discontinued Product
Aqua Bar II Ultra Tri Temp Water Cooler
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
Oasis Aqua Bar II Ultra Tri Temp Water Cooler with UV and Leak Detection - 504344C
The Oasis Aqua Bar II Series Ultra model (50504341C) offers all the features of the standard model, plus many advanced functions not found on conventional water coolers. Similar to the standard model, each of the tri temp options (hot, cold and ambient) are easily identified and dispensed by color coded push-button controls located on the front of the cooler.
Specific to the Ultra model is a leak detector with automatic water shut-off valve and a high intensity in-tank UV filtration system for added protection against water contaminants. The advanced electronic control system includes a heat booster function for tea, nighttime energy saver, and a control panel lock-out feature.
Where a bottle normally enters the top of a cooler, a hose coming directly from your water source is fitted. The hose runs down the back of the cooler and out of sight. When water is drawn from the cooler, the cooler allows water to flow into its reservoir until full, thereby providing a continuous source of water without bottle storage or spilled water.
Stainless Steel Tanks:Both the cold water reservoir and the hot water tank are made of type 300 series stainless steel for superior quality and sanitation purposes

Thank you everyone! :love:
I just got home from work, and my wife has me running around setting up for my own birthday party!
Happy birthday Barry! Tell Robin that your party is for you to enjoy, not set up. ;)
Happy birthday and have fun!
I got some scratch lottery tickets for my birthday, and believe it or not, I won $100.00 on one of the tickets, and $2.00 on another. I also got a nice Cubs sweat jacket, along with the aforementioned Sideshow Stormy, and a raffle ticket that could win me a pair of tickets to the Cubs Sox crosstown classic, plus dinner at Harry Carey's!
Happy Birthday!
Sounds like you had a great one!
Hey Barry. On this site at least, I have not yet wished you a happy birthday!.
I'm glad you liked the surprise present I sent you. (It was the SideShow Stormtrooper I gather Barry already posted about. Several friends of mine in San Diego also got the trooper and I thought it was awesome too!) - And his birthday card was kind of special.
My Padres sent their regards to your Cubs as well but I think it was lost over the back wall of PetCo Park in the fourth inning tonight. :D :twisted:
I'm going out to finish watching the game at a sports bar.
I rented Fan Boys tonight and was half watching that as well as the game.
Knowing that I love Star Trek, and what with viewing that movie that pushes the two genres' fans to extreme competition against one another - I know - and so much because of Barry, BOBAFRETT, that if it came down to THAT, I'd grab my lightsaber and WILL NEVER TOLERATE someone calling Han Solo a $#%#@!!!
I stand with the Star Wars fans and know with my life at stake - literally - never to doubt the power of the Force!
Barry, I guess it was our destiny, with appropriate thanks to SirSteve!
p.s. I did get you another present. You should get it before Christmas. I hope. But that I have no control over. "Control. Control. I need control."
Happy Birthday, Frett! Sounds like a bunch of awesome gifts, hope ya have fun.
Late entry from my step daughter......she gave me a giant Yoda Pez dispenser!
Josh, your a nut, even before the surgery, so you can't blame that on my kidney causing you to have influenced your thinking.

Alternate name: Dog Salmon
Family: Salmonidae, Trouts view all from this family
Description The chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta, is a species of anadromous fish in the salmon family. It is a Pacific salmon, and may also be known as dog salmon or Keta salmon, and is often marketed under the name Silverbrite salmon. The name Chum salmon comes from the Chinook Jargon term tzum, meaning "spotted" or "marked", while "Keta" comes from the Evenki language of Eastern Siberia via Russian.
They have an ocean coloration of silvery blue green. When adults are near spawning, they have purple blotchy streaks near the caudal fin. Spawning males typically grow an elongated snout or kype and have enlarged teeth. Some researchers speculate these characteristics are used to compete for mates.
Dimensions Up to 3'4" (1 m); 35 lb (16 kg).
Endangered Status The Chum Salmon is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. Naturally spawned populations in the Columbia River drainage and naturally spawned summer-run populations in the Hood Canal and its tributaries and in Olympic Peninsula rivers between Hood Canal and Dungeness Bay are classified as threatened in Oregon and Washington. The Columbia River catch of Chum Salmon declined from 700,000 fish in 1928 to 10,000 fish in the 1950s. Habitat destruction, the building of hydroelectric dams on migratory rivers, overfishing, and competition with introduced fish are the main threats to the salmon of the Pacific Northwest.
Habitat Rivers & streams, Estuaries, tidal flats & salt marshes, Ocean or bay shallows.
Range California, Northwest, Western Canada, Alaska.

Home>Research>Sir Denis Mahon's Library & Archive>Sir Denis Mahon (1910-2011)
Regarded as one of the foremost scholars and collectors of his generation this gift is of immense importance. Sir Denis was born in London and studied at Eton and Oxford before pursuing his passion for the history of art. His father John Fitzgerald Mahon (1858-1942) was the son of Sir William Vesey Ross Mahon 4th Bt. (1813-1893) of Castlegar, Co. Galway and his mother (Alice Evelyn Browne) was the daughter of the 5th Marquess of Sligo. While studying history at Oxford, he became acquainted with Kenneth Clarke, then at the Ashmolean Museum. Clarke recommended that he indulge his interest in art history by studying with Nikolaus Pevsner and it was Pevsner who suggested to the young scholar that he study the art of Guercino.
In addition to his remarkable achievements as a scholar and collector, Sir Denis is remembered for his tireless advocacy of museums.He campaigned vigorously and successfully to maintain free access at a time when Government was embarking on a policy of insisting on charges.
In 2010, Sir Denis Mahon, who passed away earlier this year, presented his personal library and archive to the Gallery. This remarkable gift, considerably enhances the research resources relating to European art available in Ireland. Of Irish descent, Sir Denis had a long and close association with the Gallery having donated a gift of eight outstanding seventeenth-century Baroque pictures to the collection.This wonderful gift is a reflection of his fondness for Ireland and the esteem in which he held the National Gallery of Ireland.
Relocating this cornucopia of books and documentation was a challenging undertaking. The books and documentation, which represent decades of research and scholarship, had been stored over the five floors of Mahon's Knightsbridge home, No. 33 Cadogan Square. Between January and May 2010, an NGI team, including library, archive and conservation staff, organised and packed the entire contents. Close to 1000 bankers boxes were transported back from London to Merrion Square.
The Archive
Sir Denis's fascinating archive consists of a vast accumulation of correspondence and academic notes relating to collections and individual works of art, in particular Italian art and artists.
Find out more
The Library
The library collection includes many rare and antiquarian volumes which are regarded as key sources in the study of European art, particularly Italian art.

this vetting process should have taken place 4 years ago....now those who dismiss it will claim its a "conspiracy"...could be, maybe not....either way no one wants to be the victim of what could be the biggest con job/fairy tale in the history of the country...only time will tell if the real truth is ever uncovered or if the point will become moot on Nov 6th
the one thing that always makes me wonder is not that BHO beat McCain /Palin (that was a weak ticket) but how in the heck did they beat the Clinton political machine, she was the inevitable candidate,unbeatable by some accounts, and yet a junior first time Senator with no political record ascends to the Presidency of the United States..somebody explain that to me

Homemade sugar cookies for everyone in the family to enjoy—even those with gluten intolerance—is possible with this simple recipe.
Almond flour and almond meal are not the same thing. Almond flour is made from blanched and finely ground almonds. Almond meal is ground almonds. Almond flour works best in this recipe.
The lemon oil adds a nice flavor to the sugar cookie. It is available at most kitchen or cookware stores.
Nonstick baking mats are silicone baking surfaces. They are available at most cooking stores. Since they are woven with glass, only use plastic cookie cutters or a plastic knife.

So the fact that he has been successful his whole career is just based on getting good players? Les has good players on offense and look how that's gone lately. You're an idiot
Don't assume he will go in the first round whereever he goes!
Constantly taking three star athletes and having them become 1st round draft choices clearly its Chavis
Player development is twofold. And the most important part is talent and not coaching.
But that's not what this argument is about. It's about talent development. My contention is that there is an insignificant difference in talent development between, for example, Ole Miss and LSU. They are going to lift weights at both programs and, contrary to what some on here think, they're not going to be taught any better at LSU to "not take bad 'angels'
I see what you are saying, but to discredit Chavis' ability to develop players is foolish.
by that logic, Tulane could sign 25 of the top 100 players in the country and churn most of them out into NFL prospects. Not sure if I buy that.
About one third of the first round draft choices were three star athletes. Off the top of my head, the only one I can name was Mo (I'm sure there were others I just can't think of them). And Mo was simply underrated.
Mo was simply underrated. The guy was an unbelievable athlete. No one "developed" that.
By your logic, LSU could sign nothing but guys outside the top 300 and crank out NFL players.
The point that he is making is that J.Clowney,for example, would be in the same point in his development wheter he was at Ole Miss....Alabama....LSU.....or wherever. If the kid has the skillset and physical tools, his development in college will be fractions different from one SEC program to the next.
Look at our inability to develop QBs over the past few years (post 2007). Many people blame JJ's misgivings simply on his own abilities; I honestly think he had the tools to be a good QB, however, he was not giving adequate coaching
You don't just stick athletes out on the field and they win. Look at Texas now. A team full of athletes with no development. Somebody has to teach CBs when to look for the ball, when to break, what a route tree is, how to play zone, how to use their hands to disrupt a route, how to attack the ball at its highest point and things like that
Take Texas for example. Same coach and OC had Applewhite, Simms, Young, McCoy and Gilbert. Why did VY and McCoy do so much better?

"In the Land of the Free", narrated by Samuel Jackson, tells the story of three brave men who, upon incarceration at Angola Prison in Louisiana, saw the chaos among the prisoners with the strong taking advantage of the weak.
Because of their humane efforts to improve the brutal situation, the Louisiana correctional system has vowed that they will never be released and keeps them caged in solitary confinement, the longest in the world, 41 years.
One of the three, Robert King Wilkerson, is more fortunate and was released in 2001. The remaining two, Albert Woodfox and Herman Wallace remain imprisoned. Their situation has come to the attention of journalists throughout the world and public officials, like John Conyers. Amnesty International circulated a petition and in 2012 a delegation delivered the petition with 67,000 signatures to Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal who refused to meet with them.
Angola, now called Louisiana State Penitentiary, is considered one of the ten worst prisons in the world.

Where I stayed
At 7 am down to the river and the trail head just a 10 minute walk away to what is becoming my favourite spot … 15 mins in solitude with no one around was enough to be thankful and appreciative of the majestic power that nature has.
Sorted out the time zone difference between Brazil and Argentina and yes, I gain an extra hour this afternoon so no panic Bruce …. 3.30 pm hotel pick up Brazil time gives me enough time to catch the 5.30 pm plane in Argentina and that includes a border crossing, check in etc.
Have 3 hours now in a WARM hotel complex and after this bit wet Macuco ride I need it. I think that I will let the pictures do the talking for me. Sorry so many but it was a real brief thrill ride. I think the boat went round at least 5 times and we all got a tad wet ... Let the videos speak for itself. VOTE for your favourite clip and let me know which one to keep. You have the rushes ie raw footage and some of the still images. The sound seems to disappear at the end of these clips on my computer. The camera work seems a bit shaky but hey … I have no stedicam. Thanks God(frey) for your advice re the Olympus waterproof camera. At least you will get an idea of the needle like pressure of the water cascading down on me. Yes I chose to sit on the right hand side of the boat on purpose having seen what the boat did near the face of the water fall from up high yesterday!
It takes for ever to upload video clips so best away and use the hotel free wi fi to do this ….
I will later put up more photos of the wonderful 5 star hotel. Thanks again Greg for the recommendation to stay here.

Severe cases of pectus excavatum can compress the lungs and push the heart over to one side. Even mild cases of pectus excavatum can result in self-image problems.
If the depth of the breastbone indentation is severe, it may reduce the amount of room the lungs have to expand. This compression can also squeeze the heart, pushing it into the left side of the chest and reducing its ability to pump efficiently.
Children who have pectus excavatum also tend to have a hunched-forward posture, with flared ribs and shoulder blades. Many are so self-conscious about their appearance that they avoid activities, such as swimming, where the indentation in their chests is more difficult to camouflage with clothing.

What Formed This Crater?
Credit: D. Roddy, U.S. Geological Survey
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Meteor.jpg
License: CC BY-NC 3.0
Volcanoes surround the area around Flagstaff, Arizona. A large crater lies about 25 miles away. In the past, some scientists thought the crater was an extinct volcano. Others thought it was created by a meteorite impact.
What Created Barringer Crater?
- The crater is on the Colorado Plateau in the same flat-lying sedimentary rock layers that the Grand Canyon is carved into.
- Around the rim, the rock layers are overturned.
- Coesite and stichovite are minerals that have the same composition as quartz. They have very different structures. These minerals are found at Meteor Crater.
- Far away from the crater geologists found limestone and sandstone debris.

- What evidence did the scientists find to indicate that the crater was formed by a meteorite impact?
- What is the composition of the meteorite that created the crater? Which of Earth's layers has a similar composition?
- What was the history of the meteor before it hit Arizona?

No frosting is needed. Rich caramel and sweet custard layers bake with this Spanish-inspired easy-mix orange flavored cake.
Use only 9-inch, light-colored pans; 8-inch pans are too small to hold the caramel and flan mixtures, and dark pans may scorch the flan.
You might like to use a 13x9-inch pan for the shallow pan of water. The pan of water is used to provide moisture and ensure even baking of the cake.
Don't be surprised if some of the caramel soaks into the flan and cake during cooling. This adds to the richness of the cake.

Lieb to receive Schock Prize in Mathematics
Posted June 1, 2001; 12:13 a.m.
Elliott Lieb, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and professor of mathematical physics, has been selected to receive the 2001 Rolf Schock Prize in Mathematics.
The prize, which will be presented in a ceremony Oct. 25 in Stockholm, is being given to Lieb for his "contribution to the mathematical understanding of the quantum-mechanical many-body theory" and for his work on "exact solutions of models in statistical mechanics and quantum mechanics," according to a letter from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which chooses the award winners.
A news release from the Schock Foundation cited Lieb for his "pioneering contributions in many areas of mathematics, particularly mathematical analysis and mathematical physics." It said, "Lieb's scientific production is characterized by clarity and originality."
