I remember the day when the goverment crushed all their old ww2 and vietnam jeeps and other viehicals,,,,,, because dam,,,,we dont want to compete with US auto makers. It was a huge waste of money then ,,,,and it is no different today.
At least back then we didit sell it to our enemies.
It makes me feel safe when our enemies make computer chips for our military aircraft.
This kind of horshit is so ingraned and spiderwebbed through american politics there is nothing left to do but get more tangled up.
I don't know the background story but this morning on MSNBC's financial report they said it will be highly unlikely that GM and Chrysler will repay the bailout money.
I also read that many dealerships will go bankrupt waiting for the gooberment to reimburse them.
Once again this illustrates that we are stepping over dollars to pick up dimes.
"Communism only works in Heaven, where they don't need it, and in Hell, where they already have it" Ronald Reagan
Second, now the CFC is over, dealerships all across the coutry are in a major sales slump again as buyers have learned to buy only when there are substantial discounts.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
The American way, deficit spending.
I'm sure that because my tax dollars went to pay for others cars, that because I could not use the program they will send me my $4500 just like all the folks that went in and used the program got.
Unfortunately, because I think ahead, don't get in over my head debt-wise I get screwed.
That's what makes Obama's speech yesterday stupid. He "preaches" do better for yourself, stay in school and take responsibility.....but the reality is, if you do that, then you get to pay for all the lazy-ass people who don't want to work, got in over their head debt-wise and can't or won't take responsibility for their own actions.

Follow the Matriarchs, heroines and prophetesses of the Bible and the New Testament in this special tour of Israel
Jerusalem and northern environs: the women behind the men
The City of David – the most ancient part of Jerusalem, with Warren's Shaft, the "water fortress" at Gihon (1 Kings 1:38-40), the Pool of Siloam and more. While overlooking the present-day homes on the hillside, consider the story of David and Bathsheba and the role she played in Solomon's life.
Tel Shiloh – the location of the Tent of Meeting (Josh. 18:1), where Hannah came to pray for a son (1 Sam. 1:12-18), has been pinpointed on this archaeological mound; an interesting visitor center and film rounds out the experience.
The Israel Museum – the Ethnography Wing reveals ways that customs involving women and families in traditional cultures can reflect those of the Bible; the Shrine of the Book, where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered; the 1:50 Model of Second Temple Jerusalem.

Leona drew public notice when she said,"We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes ...", a saying that became notorious and was identified with her for the rest of her life. She was later convicted of federal income tax evasion and other crimes in 1989 and served 19 months in prison (and two more months under house arrest), after receiving an initial sentence of 16 years.
UBS, one of the Swiss banks admitted recently they had 47,000 accounts for the purpose of evading taxes. They are not sharing names of he owners.
This and the last couple of administrations have had people that ran into problems with taxes. Even Sarah Palin came up short on some of her state taxes.
Was Leona letting the cat out of the bag? Did she go to jail for telling the truth?

Sold by Gold
Mr Gold and his office are a great team and simply know how to close deals and deliver the goods. In our case we had the added challenge of being based in Europe but that didnt effect anything and we closed well before the anticipated date. No problem recommending his services.
Gary representation in the sale of my house was very personable and professional. His frequent updates, advice, and aggressive attitude were refreshing. I will recommend Gary for any and all real estate needs. A pleasure working with him. Five star all the way.
Gary has been very knowledgable and thorough from the get-go. He knows his area extremely well. He is also very diligent – he worked with a difficult listing and managed to find several very qualified buyers. He is also on the cutting edge of real estate technology which makes the process very easy.

I implement prediction in my game as follows (I'm probably doing something extremely stupid):
struct InputPacket { private byte _id = 0; bool forward; // > 0 bool forward_zero; // == 0 bool right; // > 0 bool right_zero; // == 0 float pitch; float yaw; public InputPacket(byte id, int forward, int strafe, float pitch, float yaw, bool jumpDown) { _id = id; this.forward = forward > 0; this.forward_zero = forward == 0; this.right = strafe > 0; this.right_zero = strafe == 0; this.jumping = jumpDown; this.pitch = pitch; this.yaw = yaw; } public Packet CreatePacket() { // creates a packet... } } vector3 pastpositions[256]; mainLoop() // 60 FPS { if(shouldUpdate) // input is sampled at 30 FPS { input.sample(); int forward = 0; int right = 0; if(input.forward.down) forward++; if(input.back.down) forward--; if(input.strafe_right.down) strafe++; if(input.strafe_left.down) strafe--; // set player input playerObj.Forward = forward; playerObj.Strafe = right; // set player direction playerObj.Yaw = camera.yaw; playerObj.Pitch = camera.pitch; playerObj.ForwardMove = camera.forwardmove; playerObj.RightMove = camera.rightmove; } // goes before because some values may be changed if(shouldUpdate) sendMessage(new InputPacket(...).CreatePacket()); // exact same code as the server playerObj.Update(elapsedTime); if(shouldUpdate) { pastpositions[counter++] = playerObj.Position; } } receivePos(byte id, Vector3 pos) { if(pastpositions[id] != pos) { // client will interpolate position to match this playerObj.ServerPos = pos; } }
This works pretty well, except every single time, the prediction is off from 0 to at most, 1 (units). The error increases with ping, and I get around 0.3 units off at 50ms.
After reading the Valve documentation though, it seems that they have it right most of the time. I strongly suspect that what's causing the error for me is that the timing on the server/client may be different.
For example, say the client starts moving at time t = 0, and stops moving at time t = 1. The client thinks it has moved for 1t, and advances the position as it should. However, due to network latency, the first packet may arrive at t=1, and the packet that says "I stopped moving" may arrive at t = 2.25. In the server's eyes, the client moved 1.25 seconds, and thus an error has been produced.
I noticed that Valve includes a duration in their packet, but wouldn't this make the prediction off if the FPS is variable? Seeing as many players don't have a constant FPS, it boggles my mind as to how they rarely get prediction errors.
Even if I were to use the time of the last frame (as Valve states they do), how could I split that time between the player updates? As you can see, my update is sampled at 30 FPS, and my player is updated at 60 FPS, and therefore, I have to somehow intelligently split the time between the extra frames. I guess what worries me the most is that a changing FPS will royally screw over all my guesswork.
Thanks in advance!

Here at Crushable, we post about Ryan Gosling a lot. How could we not? The actor chooses smart, dynamic movie roles and manages to be cute and occasionally bashful in interviews. We've commented on his snappy style, Canadian heritage, and the Internet memes dedicated to him. So how to ring in his 31st birthday?
Instead of choosing a specific theme — like I said, we've basically covered them all — here are the photos of Ryan that have stuck with us over the years, ever since he started out as Young Hercules.
Oh, and here's a bonus .gif that we couldn't format in the gallery, but that encapsulates what we love about Ryan: His laugh.

You are here
The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE) brings an influx of wildlife lovers, outdoorsmen, and art lovers to Charleston from all over the Southeast, and a number of SEWE attendees made their way to the hustle and bustle of King Street on Friday night for the King Street Stroll, which paired renowned wildlife artists with various galleries and stores.
Charleston welcomed guests with beautiful weather and clear skies, but the Michael Mitchell Gallery welcomed everyone with aquariums filled with shrimp, blowfish, and other colorful fish. People sipped wine while taking in the art work, chatting with painter Rick Reinert, and crowded around an open tank where handlers allowed everyone to touch live starfish, sea anemones, and blue crabs.
The evening was relaxing and mellow, and guests drifted from store to store, pausing to watch artist Paul Puckett hard at work at Hampden Clothing, try on jewelry at Oxette, and take in Larry Seymour's intricate watercolors at Seeking Indigo. Margaritaville threw their colorful twist on the evening by offering strollers mini margaritas rather than the token glass of red or white wine.
The Southeastern Wildlife Exposition is the largest event of its kind in the United States, attracting over 500 artists and exhibitors. Now in it's 29th year, the three day event draws over 40,000 people to Charleston, SC. SEWE aims to contribute to the economy while promoting wildlife conservation through educational outreach programs and a strong focus on the visual arts.

Is anybody listening to Iron Maiden or any other music with occultist overtones in celebration of the day of the devil, mockingly or otherwise? I think I'm going to bust out my copy of "Live After Death" and give "The Number of the Beast" a spin for old times sake. Of course, I think it's all nonsense, but it is a darn good song!

Elizabeth P. "Betty" Groom
COLUMBUS – Betty Groom, age 92, passed away peacefully on December 28 at At Home Again in Columbus.
She was the much loved first child of Sam and Helen Groom, born in Lynn, Massachusetts. Betty graduated from Smith College in 1941 with a degree in Sociology. She joined the WAVES and taught celestial navigation from 1943 - 1945. She went on to pursue a career in Social Work in Greenwich, Connecticut for over 30 years. Upon her retirement she traveled the world, eventually visiting 96 countries. Betty moved through life quietly and purposefully, but underneath her self- contained exterior she was Ever Ready Betty: a fiercely independent woman; world traveler; avid follower of political and world events; lover of food and books; supporter of charities and champion of the underdog.
Upon moving to Columbus at the age of 80, she immediately plugged in by joining Red Hats and delivering Meals on Wheels. Betty had a tremendous will to see what was going to happen next. She defied death three times in the last ten years and made a valiant effort to do it again. In the end she accepted death on her own terms.
She collected experiences, not things and dearly valued her family. She invited her sisters, sister-in-law and friends to join her at her time-share in Stowe, Vermont for thirteen wonderful years. She greatly appreciated her fifteen nieces and nephews and was always interested in the doings of her thirty- three grand nieces and nephews, making every effort to keep them all straight. Bet, we know that you are at peace listening to your music, playing FreeCell, giving Murphy treats and sipping "the blessed stuff". We love you.
Survivors include her sisters: Mary Poser of Columbus, WI and Helen Johnston of Mequon, WI; special sister-in-law Vera Groom 'Lillan' of Swampscott, MA and numerous nieces and nephews and their families. She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Thomas Groom IV and her great friend, Dottie Van Buren.
Betty passed away peacefully, surround by loved ones. A private service will be held at a later date. Marker will be at Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain, MA, but Betty will be on the ridge. Memorials may be made to the charity of ones' choice. The family would like to thank the staffs at Columbus Community Hospital, Columbus Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, At Home Again and Hillside Home Care and Hospice for their excellent care.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
MAX ANDERSON: Roy Lichtenstein created this painting of a woman for the 1964 World's Fair in New York. Architect Philip Johnson designed one of the fair's pavilions and invited leading contemporary artists to create works that would hang on the exterior of his building.
Michael Lobel, author of Image Duplicator: Roy Lichtenstein and the Emergence of Pop Art:
MICHAEL LOBEL: When you look at this painting, what you have to understand is that this was a study for a much larger painting. The mural on the façade of the pavilion was in fact 24 by 16 feet, so a large mural. The fair opened in the summer of 1964. As all the World's Fairs were, this was a celebration of American culture, technological progress and innovation.
MAX ANDERSON: The 1964 World's Fair featured many works of Pop art―embracing the movement's new, bold style and interest in commercial images. Initially, though, Americans struggled to come to terms with the new movement. Many considered advertisements and comic strips as not worthy of being artistic subjects.
MICHAEL LOBEL: In fact, in 1962, reviewing a show of Pop art, the critic Max Kozloff writes, "the truth is: the art galleries are being invaded by the pinheaded and contemptible style of gum-chewers, bobby-soxers and worse, delinquents." And this is an index. It shows us. . .the real hostility that Pop was met by in the early 1960s when it first appeared on the art scene.
MAX ANDERSON: At first glance, Lichtenstein's work may look simple and cartoonish. But as Michael Lobel explains, the artist possessed an extensive and sophisticated understanding of art history.
MICHAEL LOBEL: If you look at the window above the head of the female figure, you see the way in which Lichtenstein is very cleverly and knowingly straddling the world of mechanical reproduction and the kind of language of abstract painting. On the one hand, you see everything that distinguishes his language of pop art―the bold outlines, the screens of regularized dots, the reduced painterly palette…so on one hand, this looks like the way a reflection off a pane of glass would be depicted by a commercial artist or popular illustrator. . .But at the same time, he's using these to make almost abstract shapes. . .In this way, Lichtenstein in his Pop art is straddling these two worlds and bringing them together—what's often called the high and low, or high art and popular culture.

The Obama administration is attacking the Fourth Amendment on every possible front. The latest assault would require Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple, etc. to submit to real-time warrantless wiretaps on customer accounts. Tweets, Facebook posts and direct messages, email, all conversations on messenger apps, and all other online communications would be subject to real-time federal monitoring without first obtaining a warrant to conduct the surveillance, as required by the Constitution.
Should any of these tech giants refuse to bend to the federal will, they will incur fines that could add up hundreds of thousands of dollars. If their resistance goes on for more than 90 days, the fines would then double every day until the company relents and gives the government access to client accounts and communications.
This is the story told by "current and former U.S. officials familiar with the effort" as first reported by the Washington Post. In the article dated April 28, the Washington Post's Ellen Nakashima writes, "Driven by FBI concerns that it is unable to tap the Internet communications of terrorists and other criminals, the task force's proposal would penalize companies that failed to heed wiretap orders — court authorizations for the government to intercept suspects' communications."
Typically, the government justifies its unconstitutional searches and seizures by trotting out the familiar bogeyman of terrorism. Since the ruse is working, the federal government will continue to cover domestic danger to our most fundamental, constitutionally-protected civil liberties behind a front of foreign threats to our freedom.
In an essay published online Thursday, May 2, Judge Andrew Napolitano — constitutional scholar and consistent advocate of liberty — laid out the case against the president's plan:
If enacted, the proposed legislation will punish those Internet service providers that fail to share secrets with the feds. The Obama administration hopes the legislation, if enacted, will enable the feds to set up a system that will let them tap into Internet service providers' data directly from FBI offices, without having to serve the warrant or visit the Internet providers' premises.
What a temptation for abuse that will become. It will compel data sharing between the government and Internet service providers that will eviscerate what little remains of personal email privacy. It will profoundly violate the Fourth Amendment by turning employees of Internet service providers into de facto unpaid federal agents.
The Fourth Amendment guarantees the "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." This fundamental freedom from government oppression is a sine qua non of personal liberty.

Did you know that the first youth hostel was established in Germany in 1912? Or that since then over 4,500 youth hostels have been built in close to 80 countries? Over the past 70 years about 30 youth hostels have been built in Israel, from Tel Khai in the north to Eilat in the south. The hostels are associated with the Israel Youth Hostel Association, which is a member of the International Youth Hostels Federation. The hostels, which maintain a high standard of quality and excellence, are located in the big cities, at tourism sites, near entertainment and recreation sites, historical sites and nature parks and close to popular tourist attractions.
Comfort is important for guests of all ages, so the hostels offer accommodation in air-conditioned rooms (shared or family), adjacent showers, self-service kitchens, cafeterias, Internet corners and television rooms at very affordable prices. The hostels offer a wonderful opportunity to meet young people and those who remain young at heart, from Israel and around the world. The hostels association offers single, family or group memberships, affording members reduced accommodation prices and discounts at various sites in Israel.

.:. PLEASE HELP .:. Angelfish Compatibility Question In Desperate Need Of Answer! .:.
I've had a 45 gallon tropical freshwater aquarium running since a few years ago and I've recently had a few of my first fish die- well most of them *sniffle* I love you Milo *sniffle* For my 16th birthday I got fish from my uncle.. Angelfish. I've never had them before so my dad has been helping me research into caring for them. They're minuscule though. They're not veil. They're actually rather plain... Well I currently have 5 of my common guppies left- all females. They're the kind fishermen use as bait aha so nothing fang bout em. Just plain ol' silver plump old ladies. I also own the very rare Neon Tetra! Haha just kiddin ya know they're pretty simple fish. Well I have 10 of those. I have also 2 maybe 3/4 inch long albino bristled plecos. They're not supposed to get vey large.. I thought plecos grew to 2 feet but I don't know. Well I'd like to add some more interesting fish. I'm not really a beginner I don't assume but I'd like some pretty upper level swimming energetic community fish- rather small. Any help for anything else or vague fish tips will be very helpful also.
Thanks y'all(:

Oh and sorry about the caps in the title it's extremely hard to type on this old thing :'c and there was a spelling mistake . I meant to type 'nothing fancy' not fang Ahh kbai(:
Here's a link you might like to check out. www.aqadvisor.com , You plug in the size of your tank, your filtration and then add the fish you want and it will calculate for you if you are over stocked or under filtered and advise if the fish are not compatible. It's not the absolute answer but it will give you some good ideas. And of course, you can continue to ask here. I'm sure others will offer opinions as well.
Good luck and I'm sorry for the bad news on the angels but it's better to figure out how to proceed now than when it might be too late.

+1 to everything FM just said. Good advice all around.
If you're attached to the other fish in your tank, you might consider rehoming the Angel and opt for something else, with a smaller mouth, like a Gourami. =] Just keep in mind that you'll only be able to have one of those in your tank, as well, since they're very territorial.
Or, you could change routes and try some dwarf cichlids, like Apistogrammas, Rams, etc. Very colorful and fun fish to watch.Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Have a fish problem? Fill out and post this completed questionnaire in the General Aquarium Forum, when you start a new thread.
We have rather similar 45 gallon tanks. I have angel fish (that I got when they were tiny tiny, intending to rehome all but one of them as they grew up), two albino bristlenose plecos, a school of ten harlequin rasboras (probably a better choice than neons because of the size), and six otos.
When I bought my angels, it was a "5 for 5" deal -- i.e. five baby fish for five dollars. The store I bought them at told me to bring them back for store credit as they matured and outgrew my tank. I ended up rehoming two of them to a friend's tank, and I still have three of them. They are five months old and starting to push each other around a bit, so I know that I'll have to pick one of them to keep pretty soon. Sad, but inevitable.
Would you be able to exchange your neons for a larger fish like the rasboras or even cardinal tetras? What about rummynose tetras? I don't think I would try to add two schools to a 45 -- it would be better for the fish and would look cooler to have one bigger school.
If you wanted to add another type of single fish, perhaps a German Blue Ram would work. I had one of mine in with the angels for a while and there were no issues at all.
Since your angels are still tiny, you have a few months to sort things out.

One of the first and most essential conditions for orga- organising page: 96 nising a party is the possession of a leader; we will not say of an Oliver Cromwell, but at least of a progressive J. H. Hofmeyr; of a man profoundly in sympathy with the movement, with a gift for organisation, and a willingness to sink his own personal interests to a large extent in that of his work. It is such a man the Progressive Element in this country looks for. We have not found him yet. We have more than one public man of undoubted ability; and we have at least one man who carries with him the confidence and affection of every Progressive in the country; but either from some page: 97 peculiarity of nature, from absence of leisure, or other circumstances, none of these men stand forward, devoting time and energy to the formation of such a party throughout the country. We have not a man to whom the Progressive can turn and say: "Organise and lead us; we will follow!" The necessity is therefore imposed upon us of organising ourselves. Nor do I know that this is wholly a calamity.
The most vital and worldwide movements of the present day, such as those of labour and woman, have not been organised or led by one command- commanding page: 98 ing intellect. They have sprung up spontaneously, as it were, in a thousand centres, and then slowly interorganised. It is a healthy indication of a profound necessity when men at independent centres organise themselves, guided by a common impulse without any coercing leadership.
This is exactly what we see taking place in the Colony to-day. The imposition of the bread and meat tax and the appointment of Sir Hercules Robinson have drawn together small knots of Progressive men to protest against these things; and in such towns as Port Elizabeth and in Cape Town, page: 99 under the presidency of Mr. J. Rose-Innes, powerful Progressive Associations have been started.
And the time is, I believe, now ripe for drawing together all the scattered Progressive Elements of the country, and uniting them as a wide and non-parochial whole. One, and not the least, of the great advantages of such union would be its tendency to prevent the growth in the Progressive Party of that spirit of localism which seems to rest as an incubus upon all Colonial endeavours, and which would be entirely at variance with the true spirit of a Progressive Organisation.page: 100
To place at the head of the united branches no man could be found more admirably suited than Mr. J. Rose-Innes, the president of the South African Political Association of Cape Town, if he were found willing to accept the post.

Salstat work is going reasonably well. With my current day job, I have a long commute with about 2 hours 40 minutes on a train. I use this time to work on the various aspects of Salstat.
The latest work was getting it running on Linux. I originally developed the Python version on a Linux machine, way back in the early 2000s. The versions I've released since 2013, however, required wxPython 2.9+ which isn't in any of the Ubuntu or Debian repos – 2.8 is the absolute latest but this doesn't feature the html2 component. This (depending upon platform) embeds WebKit (OSX and Linux) or Trident (for Windows) into wxPython.
This means that wxPython can implement a HTML instance that can use modern HTML goodies such as CSS, JQuery, Bootstrap, HighCharts, etc. This is what the output for Salstat is contained in.
So Salstat needs wxPython 2.9 or later but instructions on compiling, building and installing wxPython 220.127.116.11 worked first time on Linux Mint (though I had to 'sudo ldconfig' to prevent import errors).
And Salstat now runs on Linux again after 10 years of waiting. I'm well-chuffed because I felt guilty that it only ran on Windows and OSX.
Althought wxPython 3+ is not in the repos yet (though it might be somewhere!), at least it is possible now to get the wxPython 3 goodness which is a definite step-up from 2.8.
I've also been working on a new website (much needed – the old one is very early 2000s) but getting all the content is taking time. See http://test.salstat.com to see it in operation.

Gladys Mae (Blomquist) West
Gladys Mae (Blomquist) West
Formerly of Pine River
Gladys Mae (Blomquist) West passed away Thursday, Jan. 10, 2013.
Gladys was born June 15, 1930, in Willmar, Minn. Gladys graduated from Willmar High Shool in 1948 and went to work at Montgomery Ward as a secretary, and then moved into sales for Lloyd's Radio Shop where she met Gale West in February 1950. They were married in September 1950.
They lived with their children in Hutchinson, Minn., Cambridge, Minn., and later in Northfield where Glady worked at Greenvale Elementary. They later lived in Pine River at their lake home where Glady worked at the KTIG Christian radio station. They later moved to Kenyon where they now call home.
Gladys was a caring and giving person, who still gives to others through donation of her body for research on Parkinson's, heart disease and macular degeneraton.
Her home always smelled of fresh baked goods and fresh flowers from her garden and was a haven to her family. Her faith in her Lord and Savior gives comfort to those she leaves behind, as they know she is in paradise.
Glady is survived by her husband and best friend, Gale of 63 years; her five children, Jerry (Bridget) West, Carrel (Mark) Steneman, Janet (Pat) Kruse, Jim (Amy) West and Nancy (Jeff) Solinger. She has 17 grandchildren, 16 great-grandchildren and many close friends and loved ones.

Magazines put Princeton at top of rankings
Posted August 17, 2007; 05:00 a.m.
The latest college ranking conducted by U.S. News & World Report has again listed Princeton University as the top school for undergraduate students, while a separate annual ranking compiled by Kaplan and Newsweek also selected Princeton as a top school.
Princeton ranked No. 1 in "U.S. News 2008 America's Best Colleges" in the Best National Universities category, a position it has held for eight consecutive years. Princeton also ranked first for students graduating with the least debt and was listed No. 2 among national universities for best value.
The list of "The 25 Hottest Schools in America" released as a joint effort by the Kaplan education and testing firm and Newsweek magazine in its 2008 "How to Get into College" guide recognized Princeton as the "Hottest for Liberal Arts."
In response to the rankings, Princeton officials said, "We're gratified that Princeton continues to be recognized, not only for the overall quality of the education we provide, but also for our commitment to financial aid initiatives that make a Princeton education accessible to all admitted students, and the strength of the individual programs we offer."
Princeton last year announced the establishment of its University Center for the Creative and Performing Arts with the goal of infusing the arts throughout the college experience. The University also continues to serve as a model for efforts to make education more affordable, leading the way in launching sweeping initiatives that include replacing loans with grants that do not have to be repaid, which allows undergraduates to graduate debt free.
An estimated 53 percent of Princeton's undergraduate student body is on financial aid, and 54 percent of the incoming class of 2011 will receive aid.
In addition to the recognition for financial aid, U.S. News continues to place Princeton on unranked lists for the senior thesis requirement and opportunities for undergraduate research, the University's strong focus on writing, and the quality of students' first-year experience.
A later ranking released by The Princeton Review education service based on student survey responses to various elements of campus life ranked the University No. 1 for "Students Happy with Financial Aid" and second in the nation in the separate categories of best library facilities and most beautiful campus. The Princeton Review is a private firm not affiliated with the University, and ranked schools in its "Best 366 Colleges" guide.
"While we understand that many students consider the rankings when choosing a university, we continue to encourage students to use a variety of resources to find the best match for them," Princeton officials said. "It is not possible for any ranking to capture the distinctiveness of an institution or to determine whether any university is the best choice for a student."

Asim on NPR, discusses significance of Obama's second term
January 22, 2013
January 22, 2013
The day before President Obama's second inauguration, Writing, Literature and Publishing Associate Professor Jabari Asim spoke with NPR's Steve Inskeep about the shift in how the President is viewed by voters after four years in the White House.
Asim, author of the 2010 book What Obama Means, talks about the "magic aura" as a reason that some people voted for Obama the first time, compared with why they voted for him again. "I think a lot of the same voters were motivated by much more practical concerns the second time around, even if the first time there was that aura of magic that helped to impel people to vote in his direction, " said Asim.

Palin's Speech on Energy Policy, Toledo, Ohio
Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave this speech on energy policy in Toledo, Ohio on October 29, 2008.
See more in United States; Elections; Energy Policy
U.S. Policy toward Africa
Palin's stance on U.S. policy toward Africa is unknown.
Democracy Promotion in the Arab World
Palin says she thinks the United States should "make every effort possible to help spread democracy for those who desire freedom, independence, tolerance, respect for equality." In a September 2008 interview with the CBS Evening News, Palin said the promotion of democracy is the underlying goal in U.S. counterterrorism efforts. "It's not just to keep the people safe, but to be able to usher in democratic values and ideals [around] the world," Palin said.
U.S. Policy toward India
Palin's stance on U.S. policy toward India is unknown.
Palin says additional troops are needed in U.S. military efforts in Afghanistan. In September 2008, Palin said the increased U.S. presence in Afghanistan "will lead to further security" (AP) for the United States.
Palin met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai (Reuters) in September 2008, reportedly to discuss the U.S. counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan.
Military Tribunals and Guantanamo Bay
Palin's stance on military tribunals and Guantanamo Bay is unknown.
Domestic Intelligence
Palin's stance on domestic intelligence is unknown.
Energy Policy
Gov. Sarah Palin emphasizes U.S. energy security and advocates domestic drilling for oil to help free the United States from dependence on foreign energy sources. "With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus, and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers," Palin said in her September 2008 speech before the Republican National Convention. "To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly one-fifth of world energy supplies, or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia, or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries, we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas," she said.
Palin supports drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge [ANWR]. In an August 2008 interview with Business Week, Palin said she thinks some members of Congress "have misconceptions" about ANWR, and described the area of energy focus as "a swath of land that's about 2,000 acres in size—and that's out of a 20 million-acre plain that has been set aside." Palin also said the wildlife in the area would not be harmed by drilling because the state of Alaska has stringent oversight and would "even ramp up that oversight to a greater degree if people would understand the importance of unlocking that swath of land and let the development begin."
From 2003 to 2004, Palin chaired the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. She resigned from that position amid concerns (FOX) about ethical violations by her fellow Republicans on the commission.
In August 2008, the Alaska Senate authorized the TransCanada Corporation to build a 1,700-mile natural gas pipeline that will cost an estimated $30 million. Palin had pushed for the pipeline's approval, saying it will allow Alaskan gas to "provide aid to those in the Lower 48, who are turning to Alaska, waiting and wanting Alaska to help."
Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Palin says she does not think the United States should "second guess (ABC) the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves, and for their security." Palin met with AIPAC's board of directors (MSNBC) in September 2008 to discuss the importance of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. In June 2008, Palin signed a resolution passed by the Alaska legislature congratulating Israel on the 60th anniversary of its founding, and affirming "strong bonds of friendship" between the United States and Israel.
Palin's position on a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is unknown. She has not publicly indicated whether she believes the United States should negotiate with Hamas.
Gov. Sarah Palin supports the U.S. war in Iraq, which she has called a "task that is from God" (AP). She says Iraq is the "central front" in the war on terror. Palin has also praised the troop surge in Iraq as a success (MSNBC). "In Iraq, change happened, and that's a great thing for America," Palin said in a September 2008 speech in Missouri.
In an August 2008 interview with Business Week, Palin spoke generally about the intersection of war and energy issues: "We are a nation at war and in many [ways] the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go."
Climate Change
Palin has said she is not sure human behavior causes climate change (Newsmax), but said in a September 2008 interview with ABC News that human activity "certainly can be contributing to the issue" and that "we have to make sure that we're doing all we can to cut down on pollution." In September 2007, Palin created a subcabinet state agency in Alaska to advise her on the "preparation and implementation of an Alaska climate change strategy." Changes to the environment "will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location," Palin said in August 2008.
Palin opposed adding polar bears threatened by melting sea ice to the government's list of species to be protected under the Endangered Species Act, saying there is "insufficient evidence that polar bears are in danger of becoming extinct within the foreseeable future" (NYT). She opposed efforts by environmental groups to use the designation of polar bears as an endangered species to "force the government to either stop or severely limit any public or private action that produces, or even allows, the production of greenhouse gases." In a January 2008 New York Times op-ed she wrote that the Endangered Species Act is "not the correct tool to address climate change—the act itself actually prohibits any consideration of broader issues."
Homeland Security
Gov. Sarah Palin's views on general U.S. homeland security policy were not immediately known. As governor of Alaska, Palin oversees her state's homeland security operations and has command of the Alaska National Guard on homeland security matters and in natural disasters. Palin has supervision of military units whose responsibilities include manning elements of the U.S. missile defense system at Fort Greely, although operations of the missile interceptors at the fort come under the U.S. military chain of command (LAT).
Major General Craig E. Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, has said Palin's primary responsibility in this area has been in recruiting new guard volunteers (BosGlobe). As governor, she called up the National Guard to handle wildfires in 2007, and in September 2008, Palin ordered the Alaska National Guard to deliver a planeload of supplies to Gulf Coast area victims of Hurricane Gustav.
Palin says a nuclear Iran under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's leadership would be "extremely dangerous to everyone on this globe." In a September 2008 interview with ABC News, Palin said she thinks the United States and its allies should put "diplomatic pressure" on Iran to ensure that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons. She said the United States should "pursue" and "implement" sanctions on Iran. "We cannot back off," she said. Asked how she thinks the United States should respond if Israel were to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, Palin said the United States "cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself." Palin says she does not believe the United States should negotiate directly with Ahmadinejad without preconditions.
U.S. Policy toward Russia
Palin has said the United States should "keep an eye on Russia." In a September 2008 interview with ABC News, Palin criticized Russia's actions in its August 2008 conflict with Georgia. "For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she said. Palin also said Georgia and the Ukraine should be admitted into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Once that happens, Palin said, a Russian invasion of Georgia might merit war between the United States and Russia. "If another [NATO] country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help," Palin said. Still, Palin said in an interview with FOX News later that month that war with Russia should be "off the table."
U.S. Policy toward Pakistan
Palin said in October 2008 that the United States should not advocate strikes against terrorists in Pakistan (CBS) without the Pakistani government's approval, arguing that such a maneuver would be "invading the sovereign territory of a troubled partner in the war against terrorism." In September 2008, Palin said she would "absolutely" support cross-border attacks into Pakistan (CBS) if it was necessary to "stop the terrorists from coming any further in." Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) later retracted her comment (CNN), which was not in alignment with his position on the subject. McCain said Palin shares his views on Pakistan policy. Palin also followed up on her statement (AP), emphasizing in an interview with the CBS Evening News that a McCain-Palin administration would never "get out there and show our cards to terrorists, in this case, to enemies and let them know what the game plan was."
Palin met with Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari (LAT) in September 2008.

Palin says the U.S. financial regulatory system "is outdated and needs a complete overhaul." In a September 2008 speech (FOX), Palin praised the Federal Reserve and U.S. Treasury for deciding not to bail out Lehman Brothers, and said a McCain-Palin administration would stop "multi-million dollar payouts and golden parachutes to CEOs who break the public trust."

Jeffrey Rosenberg, BlackRock's (BLK) chief fixed-income investment strategist, this week compares current global monetary policy with a "methadone market" in which central banks are swapping one form of addiction for another, saying banks' cure to the credit crisis has simply been more credit. He looks at some recent unintended consequences like the outset of the Bank of Japan's easing program actually boosting French bonds more than Japanese bonds:
Low Japanese yields and the prospect for even lower yields resulting from the BoJ purchases would lead Japanese investors to buy other global bonds in the pursuit of higher income. Here we see how monetary policy made "strictly" for domestic purposes hardly has strictly domestic consequences. The Fed has been ignoring this reality since the onset of its foray into "unconventional" monetary policy making.
Rosenberg says the Fed has been blazing a trail of rationalizing a country's currency debasement policies through domestic intentions:
If the currency implications result in a decline that is not your intent, well, that's OK. Except it's not OK to financial markets. It's highly distortive. The liquidity provided locally moves globally.
Yet all of this money printing has not been inflationary, Rosenberg writes, at least not yet. He says investors' knee-jerk reaction to such policies of massive money printing is to correctly fear inflationary consequences, but the trouble is getting the timing right, and right now inflation doesn't look imminent. Which leads him to offer this advice for investors:
Sell your inflation hedges. TIPS in fixed income, commodities and commodity-related exposures and gold all ran up in price in anticipation of a tsunami of inflation that is still far out at sea. While eventually it may hit shore, that outlook is pushed off at least a year and likely more. Inflation figures (at least those that policy makers use) are now falling. We see stable inflation in the near term, and the lack of increases undermines the case for inflation hedges, while their high prices make them vulnerable to a break as we saw recently in gold. The best inflation hedge remains staying exposed to risky assets—stocks in equities and credit in fixed income—that will continue to inflate under ample and now-expanding global liquidity.

|Warmwater flyfishing Bass, pike and even muskies in your backyard
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Carp, etc.
Well...PM Flyfisher, you should definitely get about it! I'm in Grand Haven, and you'll find good carp fishing in the flats around any Great Lakes river mouth. I fish 'em hard once the water hits about 60F+, and through the summer. I fish a 6wt with a WF floater and 9' leader, usually 2x fluorocarbon. Best pattern so far has been a size 6 Near 'Nuff Sculpin. I suspect it's taken as a crayfish, but either way it's bottom focused, which is key. Sometimes a slow, crawling retrieve is best, and sometimes longer (1') strips a little faster. The catfish and smallies like it a little faster. Let's see...the Whitlock article is right on. I've done well with nymphs when the sculpins are off. I haven't tried any bait imitations because I've never found it necessary (or sporting to me) to chum. I have had numerous occasions with dedicated carp fishers going fishless using bait, while I land numerous fish on flies not too far away. I hope you get into some soon.
Good topic. Even a small carp will put a good stretch in your line, and I've seen some real monsters. They are definitely worth fishing for!
I've fished for carp several times but always used bait. I did, however, hook a big one on a Rapala once, so they would certainly take small baitfish imitations in addition to the other types of flies mentioned. You can use chum to bring them to you or just sight fish for them from shore or boat, although most of the carp I see are around thick weeds and/or lily pads which would make it difficult to cast to them.
Here's my carp story: I was fishing in shallow water at Saratoga Lake, NY, casting a 5cm floating silver/black Rapala for bass and panfish. I saw a nice carp swimming along the shoreline and, for some insane reason, I casted my lure at it. The lure landed a couple of feet beyond and ahead of the fish, and I started reeling to get the lure past the fish so I wouldn't foul-hook it. You should have seen my jaw drop when the fish turned, chased and inhaled the Rapala. I fought it for a few minutes and managed to turn it sideways close to the boat once before it took off and snapped my line. It looked like one of those big redfish that they catch on the fishing shows! I'm not sure exactly how big it was, but it was much larger than any carp I've ever landed, either before or since then, and I've caught them up to 15 or 20#.

|Thanks everybody. Adrian I'm sorry if I misused the term coarse fishing, it was an unintentional error on my part.
|Dave Whitlock has written an excellant article on this subject and there is a video out there with Bill Marts flyfishing for these strong....very strong fish! I think the video is distributed by Watts and Bennett, but not sure.
Fred, yes Amazon does the sample pages now for a number of their books. Nice way to get a flavor for the book. Read a number of their book sample pages but have not bought yet.
I guess it does not work on me, must be a hard sell I guess.
I think there are a lot of untapped Carp fly fishing opportunities in the US. Caught a number of them in slow sections of trout streams over the years, each time I thought I had my dream brown monster trout for a while only to be disappointed.
Great fight though they are.
Fun Read!
Enjoyed the mental coffee break reading the attached pages of text from the book. Does Az.com do this kind of thing often? Great way to get someone to drop the dime; akin to the movie trailers on rented VCR movies.

For anybody who's interested in more info about carp on a fly, check out this book by Barry Reynolds:
It's pretty thorough. This is the same guy who wrote "Pike on the Fly", which I am currently reading. He's clear and to the point, and I'm looking forward to applying some of his insights this year.
John, coarse fishing relates to the pursuit of any non salmonid freshwater fish in the UK and Eire. The majority of techniques are oriented around bait for various types. When it comes to Carp it gets very sophisticated with all manner of secret formulas based on dog biscuits, spam, sausage, maggots etc.
Interestingly, coarse fishing has always been predominantly catch and release - most of them taste like boiled newspaper and pins when cooked! When practiced on small lakes, the resident fish get pretty smart once they've been released a few times. Fly fishing is pretty rare, although some people stalk big Carp when cruising just subsurface during the high summer with floating patterns which resemble bread cubes and dog biscuits etc.

Boy I didn't think I'd get this many posts on carp. My own interest in them is that I think they could provide a different outlet for those days when I have 1/2 hour on the way home to fish. I do know a couple of ponds where they live, but like Doublehaul so far my offerings have been spurned. Maybe its time to tie up some egg patterns in white to atack with a pantone marker of the appropriate berry color.
I do have to agree with Adrian that there is much more interest in carp in the UK & Europe. Most of the articles have been with spinning rods, and I haven't seen many articles on flyfishing for them coming from Europe though. They may call it coarse fishing, but from where I see it their methods are fairly sophisticated.
They reveared in the UK. Some locations even have names for specimen carp which have been caught many times.
Interest in specimen carp fishing in the UK really took off when the late Dick Walker's British record common carp 'Clarissa', was caught in September 1952 at the previously undreamt of weight of 44lbs.
Agree, I think they are respected in Europe though.
Need to check out their fly fishing techniques for them.
Launch a world wide web search for the techniques and apply them here. Will put that on the to do list.
|Dble Haul
Carp are the Rodney Dangerfields of flyfishing.....they get no respect. Many people scoff at them, but I've heard that they are one of the most difficult fish to catch on a fly. Small nymphs, berry patterns, and even small imitations of cotton seeds are used for these fish.
Any time that I've caught a carp has been totally incidental while nymphing for another species. I've tried to sight fish for them, but they always thumb their noses at me. I lived at an apartment complex in Nashua, NH about three years ago that had a pond of a couple acres that was full of sunfish and carp. I made hundreds of casts to dozens of five pound carp, and never drew a strike. I've also tried to hook some brutes on the Housatonic at the base of Stevenson Dam with similar results. I have to say that if I were to see one again, I'd try for it again. Must be the constant rejection, like when I kept asking out that girl who always turned me down.....
Yeah I have to gear up and go after these guys again. There is a local pond I run by on my normal jogging route which is filled with them. The town drained, dredged and restocked the pond two years ago. The local kids which fish it don't know how to catch the carp, they are after the sunfish, catfish, and carp.
Although I might look odd with my $ 500 graphite fly rod next to them with their Snoopy Rods. But as we have seen in recent posts the Snoopy Rods are not to be joked at, they can be a leathal tool in the correct fishing hands.
Got some big gold fish in it also I suppose people have emptied their home fish tanks into on the QT. I think this would be good sport on a 5 or 6 weight rod. Would also get my arms in shape for Michigan steelhead and salmon, perhaps could be considered training camp, etc...
I know in UK carp are a prized sport fish and managed. I will not be eating them though, thats for sure.
:hehe: :hehe:
I hooked one which I could hardly lift in the Hudson at Croton Point March last year. Chartreuse/White clouser. I was looking for early season stripers. It didn't fight much until it got close, but then went ballistic. The water was pretty cold, probably in the low 40s.
A couple of spin fishermen came over for a look bad sadly none of us had a camera.
Better Check It Out
Carp are great fighters, caught some big ones on fly rod. Lake Michigan has some big ones around all of the river mouths, they are not fished, and are huge. Caught a close to 30 pounder once fishing for skaminia steelhead at the river mouth once. Thought it was a big iron head but turned out to be a carp.
Wouldn't mind going for them again, need to see what flies are useful though for them.
Anybody got any hot carp patterns, besides dough ball or corn imitations. Actually a small yarn egg fly may work, for them.

AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
Yoda is my favourite SW character, and size matters not when it comes to a potential purchase. I recently bought the Jedi Attack Fighter set for £19, predominantly for a tiny figure, which was all-new (and not badly painted compared to all the other examples I've seen). Sure, there was a ship included, but I don't really collect vehicles, and wouldn't have bought this if it wasn't for the figure. Having said that, I've wanted Yoda to have his own ship since 1980 (used to make them from Lego), and I'm pleasantly surprised how much I love this set!
Big thanks to DarkJedi5, TheRealDubya, obi-dad, morpheus282, Tycho and Kidhuman for great deals/trades.
From Rebelscum: Interesting info on the line.
Black Series 6-Inch
The Black series 6-inch figures will start with four characters, Luke X-Wing, R2-D2, Sandtrooper and Darth Maul. The six-figure case ratios will be managed to ensure more popular characters are packed in greater quantities. At this time, the plan is to go with 75 percent Original Trilogy to 25 percent Prequel Trilogy character ratio. The focus of the line is fan favorites and best of characters. At this time secondary and tertiary characters are not in the plans, and neither are Clone Wars or Expanded Universe characters, but as the line progresses the possibility to introduce these character exists. The opportunity to introduce beasts (Wampa, Dewback, Tauntaun) and small vehicles (Speederbike) also exists depending on how the line is received by collectors.
Six inch figures will use both soft goods and plastic with the final choice being given to the designer creating the figure. This means some figures will come with soft goods, while others—such as the Darth Maul—will come with plastic robes. Hasbro hinted that a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive will be a Boba Fett with Han Solo in Carbonite two pack, but didn't confirm it. We also asked Hasbro who on the team loves Sandtroopers, since we've seen a lot of them in both the 3-3/4 and now 6-inch scales, and they told us everyone!

In Still life with Louise, Williams painted a delicate portrait of his second daughter in his studio. Louise is depicted amongst an array of still-life objects: luminous oranges, a vibrant pink and green coffee pot made by John Perceval, a dried lizard brought back from a painting trip, as well as a pottery object made by the people of the Chambri Lakes area in Papua New Guinea.
Williams's three daughters, Isobel, Louise and Kate, all remember their father's dedication to his art as well as his enjoyment of time spent with his family. They remember that even when they went on holidays he always seemed to be working at his art and as a way of getting his attention they would often take him their 'finds' to paint.

Edgar W. Howe
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic; minced
400ml light cream (25% fat)
1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
1/4th cup Parmesan & Romano Cheese, grated
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil together over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Turn the heat to medium low and add the rest of the ingredients, but add the cheese last so it doesn't hit the hot pan and seize up. Stir constantly until thickened.
- Reserve in bowl till it comes to room temperature. This sauce it continues to thicken as it stands, so don't thicken it too much on the flame.
- Note: This makes enough sauce for 6-8 small pizzas
To assemble:
Preheat the oven to 300C.
20 minutes prior to baking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper, and sprinkle with cornmeal. Flatten out a small ball of dough to make a base. (I tried both versions, a thick crust & a thin crust. Both came out superb.) Allow to rise at room temperature.
5 minutes before baking, spread about 1/4 cup pizza sauce on the base, put toppings of your choice & bake for 15-20 minutes/ till done.
This goes to Susan @ Wild Yeast for Yeastspotting. This week's edition of YeastSpotting will be hosted by Nick of imafoodblog
Note: Here is how I smoke cheese, or even burger patties, chicken tikka etc.
Place the cottage cheese in a big heatproof bowl ( I use steel). Keep a lid handy and a weight that you can place on top. A heavy book will do fine!
Heat a piece of coal on the fire till red hot. Place a small cup of foil in the same bowl , drop the hot coal into the foil, drizzle 3-4 drops of melted butter/clarified butter directly on the hot coal to intensify the smoke fumes, and quickly shut it with the lid so that minimum fumes escape. Place a weight over the lid, and leave unopened for at least 30 minutes. This will help get a deep, intense smoked flavour.
I smoke mozzarella the same way too. Only difference is that I clingwrap it well & place it in the fridge.

To continue our discussion on Leave No Trace we will talk about the second principle.
Camping and Traveling on Durable surfaces.
DURABLE SURFACE= refers to the ability of a surface or vegetation to withstand wear or remain in stable condition.
Some ways that we can tell what a durable surface looks like is simply by looking at it.
Durable surfaces when selecting a campsite is often confusing. Where to pitch your tent? Well look at dry grass areas and hard ground. Yes, I know it may not be the most comfortable, but you have a sleeping pad and remember our focus is less impact.
Select camp areas that have been established. Even when in the wilderness look for places that others have used. Try not to make new camp sites.
Spread out. This lessens the impact on the ground also.
Durable surfaces on the trail. Rule number 1. STAY ON THE TRAIL. Do not make new trails.
Do not short cut switch backs. This causes unsightly trails and also starts the process of erosion of the hill. Take the extra 20 steps and make the full turn.
Do not leave trail markings for those to follow. These become unsightly too. When traveling in small groups leave your meet points on the map. Discuss rest stops and link up points and plot them on your map. It is the only marker you need and leaves no trace.
If you are heading cross country, choose durable surfaces such as dry grass, rock, gravel, or snow. You impact will be small in these conditions. If you can't then spread out. Try not to bunch up and "Herd" across an area. The solitude will help you enjoy the wilderness a lot more.
Finding durable surfaces to camp on and travel through is an important part of leave no trace. Often over looked, it sets the tone once you arrive in the wilderness. Going back to Planning ahead, plan for durable areas and trails. This will help you to help our Wilderness areas, parks, forest land, and yeah… even our urban areas.
Happy Scouting!

If I am not mistaken (and I am not) there already exists a "LEGAL" pathway to citizenship."
Obama To Make Major Immigration Moves Next Week
Posted: 01/25/2013 1:33 pm EST | Updated: 01/25/2013 5:40 pm EST
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama announced after a meeting with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus on Friday that he will lay out some of his plans for immigration reform on Tuesday in Las Vegas.
Members of the caucus who were present at the meeting said Obama assured them that he shares the group's basic beliefs about immigration reform, most notably that making a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants -- which some Republicans oppose -- is an absolute must as they push for legislation.
"The President was pleased to hear from CHC members and noted that they share the same vision, including that any legislation must include a path to earned citizenship," the administration in a statement. "The President further noted that there is no excuse for stalling or delay."
Seven members of Congress were present at the meeting, including Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chairman Ruben Hinojosa (D-Texas), Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.), Immigration Task Force Chairman Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Chairman of the Democratic Caucus Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.).
Obama told the group that his plans for immigration reform align with their own, especially with regards to the need for a pathway to citizenship, Becerra said after the meeting.
"He said on more than one occasion that his principles virtually mirrored the Congressional Hispanic Caucus principles -- and if you look at our principles, we are determined to fight against creating a second class of Americans," Becerra told HuffPost. "I don't think there's any light between where we are and where he is on the issue of having America legally create a second class of citizens."
The Associated Press reported that the White House will launch an effort on immigration next week, as will a bipartisan group of senators, likely the so-called "gang of eight" -- four Republicans, four Democrats -- who have already begun to work toward a deal.
