Democracy Kills
The national intelligence director explains why Bush's critics have blood on their hands.
Since he's resigning, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales won't have much chance to exercise his powers under the Protect America Act. The new law charges the attorney general with determining which international communications involving people in the U.S. will be subject to warrantless surveillance.
Members of Congress were so distrustful of Gonzales that they insisted he share this authority with the director of national intelligence, Mike McConnell. But while McConnell, the apolitical expert, may enjoy a better reputation for honesty and independence than Gonzales, the longtime Bush crony, the two men seem to have similar instincts about privacy and executive power.
In a recent interview with the El Paso Times, McConnell regrets the debate about the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance program. "The fact [that] we're doing it this way means that some Americans are going to die," he says. "Because it's so public."
McConnell is trying to frighten Americans into supporting President Bush's anti-terrorism policies. Worse, he is charging critics of those policies with complicity in murder.
As Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy, observes, "He's basically saying that democracy is going to kill Americans." And not just democracy but constitutional government of any kind, since by McConnell's logic anything that interferes with the president's unilateral decisions regarding national security "means that some Americans are going to die."
McConnell wants to have it both ways: Terrorists are so sophisticated that the government needs broad surveillance powers to thwart them, yet they are too stupid to realize someone might be listening to their phone calls or reading their email. Evidently the possibility occurred to them only after they read about it in the newspaper.
Since the discussion of NSA surveillance has not revealed information specific enough to help terrorists escape detection, it seems clear McConnell's real concern is that public debate might impede Bush's policies. This is a new twist on the old argument for secrecy: Information must be kept from the public not just to keep it from our enemies but to prevent the public from objecting to measures the president considers necessary to protect national security.
Providing further evidence that he sees classification as a way to avoid the inconvenience of defending the administration's policies, McConnell uses the interview to confirm something the administration has long insisted it could not safely discuss: that telecommunications companies helped the NSA conduct its warrantless surveillance. Although that much may have seemed obvious, the Justice Department has tried to stop lawsuits against the cooperating carriers by arguing that even acknowledging their help would endanger national security.
But now that Bush wants Congress to give the companies retroactive immunity from liability for aiding and abetting the illegal snooping, McConnell is suddenly more forthcoming. "Under the president's program," he says, "the private sector had assisted us." Now those assistants need assistance, he explains, because "if you play out the suits at the value they're claimed, it would bankrupt these companies."
Judging from this example, Bush administration officials feel duty-bound to withhold information when it might be useful to critics of the president's anti-terrorism policies, since those policies are necessary to protect national security. But they believe the very same information can—indeed, should—be released at a more opportune time, when it will help the president pursue his policies.
In the interview McConnell makes a point of describing himself as "an apolitical figure" who has voted for candidates from both major parties and is neither a Democrat nor a Republican. He means to reassure us that we can trust him, a nonpartisan professional, to make decisions about whose communications to monitor.
But McConnell is a professional spy. He naturally wants to do his spying as free from restrictions as possible. We would not trust prosecutors to say what due process is, and we should not trust spies to define the limits of our privacy.

I already saw this movie. Matt Damon is way better looking than that guy. Really captured his attitude toward the public, though.
I'm to lazy to read both "Democracy Kills" and "Is Democracy Bad for National Security?" Which is Jacob's real article and which was put in by a spy feeding us disinformation.
Why is it that the idea that "some Americans are going to die" is a powerful argument in favor of compromising the constitution, yet a weak argument in discussing the Iraq war?
Ummm, tried to link to the article and got an error message. Maybe put the article on the thread where we can actually read it?
"Why is it that the idea that "some Americans are going to die" is a powerful argument in favor of compromising the constitution, yet a weak argument in discussing the Iraq war?"
I got first dibs on plagiarizing that relentlessly. -
Maybe, for the good of the nation we should just stop the continuous second guessing of a government that only has our security and best interests in mind with regard to its policies.
Now excuse me while I go vomit. -
Someone needs to spy on our masters, on our behalf. I miss the old (2000'ish) Government Information Awareness project at MIT. They had the right idea. Don't know why it was discontinued so suddenly.....
"Why is it that the idea that "some Americans are going to die" is a powerful argument in favor of compromising the constitution, yet a weak argument in discussing the Iraq war?"
(snark)Because those involved in prosecuting the Iraq War (police action) are all volunteers. (/snark)
I share your disdain for the war, but face it the Nixonian Republicans ruined war protesting by taking away the draft and making the Armed Forces all volunteer. IMHO the all volunteer military made it too easy for the POTUS to use them for whatever political agenda he sees fit. Too bad.
I know the military comminity likes the voluntary military because it limits the numbers of people who don't want to be in there. I think that loses sight of the true purpose of the American Military, as intended by the Founders. It is supposed to be controlled by Congress, as a deterent to a threat at our borders, not a mercenary force serving at the pleasure of the Executive Branch. -
I'll play along. Why is it that soldiers are the most patriotic of all of us, yet they don't count as Americans when we say "Some Americans are going to die"? -
"Why is it that soldiers are the most patriotic of all of us, yet they don't count as Americans when we say "Some Americans are going to die"?",/i>
I would say you are right about soldiers being patriots. I volunteered because I believed that the US is the best of all possible places to live and it should be defended.
I would say that they don't count as Americans when the current administration doesn't mention their sacrifices in the overall cost of the war, the bottom line cost to society.
IMHO once a soldier gets killed, his family is paid off and he is forgotten in the growing list of the dead. If a soldier is grievously injured, the Veterans Administration does it's best to deny or limit the soldier's benefits.
Right now is a great time to be a soldier, as long as you don't get injured or killed. I haven't heard of any baby killer comments or protests which call soldiers death merchants, but I have heard lots of stories where the soldiers are not being taken care of like they should be. -
"we should not trust spies to define the limits of our privacy."
Why? What could possibly go wrong? -
There's a new piece up at the NYT site (not behind the wall) about Jack Goldsmith, who headed the Office of Legal Counsel and was right in the middle of the wrangling over the legality of the "war on terror" policies: interrogation, surveillance, tribunals and all. Goldsmith was like Comey, apparently, someone who refused to allow his desire to please his political bosses to overcome his convictions about the rule of law.
What's interesting about this is how the details of exactly how the administration bent the laws to increase the powers of the executive branch in the name of national security are trickling out, little by little. It's pretty satisfying to think of the VP and his advisors saying to each other, isn't there some way we can shut this guy up? No, not entirely.
It is nice to get these kinds of reminders that eventually the whole truth is going to come out. Also note the ironic point about how the end result will be the shrinking, not the expansion, of executive branch powers. -
Interestingly enough, I believe that democracy isn't justified to any extent. After all, democracy is based upon the idea that, statistically at least, "might makes right." To be honest, the people can't be trusted -- they just wave back and forth gobbling up what the media feeds them. Sad but true. ::shrug::

To be honest, the people can't be trusted -- they just wave back and forth gobbling up what the media feeds them. Sad but true.
I don't recall any governments where an excess of democracy led to the downfall of a country. Excessive control by government, however, has pretty much a straight record of failure. -
It would seem that the authority to listen to suspect overseas conversations is either necessary to our defense against terrorists, or it is not. The Congress has decided that, for this month or so, it is, but they have arrived at that conclusion only after accusing the President and his administration of being in the business of spying on Americans gratuitously, of being entirely without care in carrying out their responsibilities, and of lying about the need for such surveillance. It was probably wise of them to change their minds.
As far as Mr. McConnell's comments are concerned, I believe it likely that the heated and hardly rational discussion fomented by the Democrats has caused some terrorists somewhere to be more careful with their communications, and that might cost a great number of American lives--will probably cost a few lives in any case. But in his embarrassment at his party's various retreats Mr. Sullum wishes to make from McConnell's remarks the case that Mr. McConnell is against democracy. In similar ways other leftist writers have been trying to depict the President as opposed to democracy, and this has been successful with both their leftist and moderate Democrat readers. This is all substantially revealing--both about Mr. Sullum and about Democrats. -
"I don't recall any governments where an excess of democracy led to the downfall of a country."
Chile, 1972. There are other examples in Latin American history as well, but aside from Chile, many of the other examples are of the dubious banana republic-style democracy. -
"I believe it likely that the heated and hardly rational discussion fomented by the Democrats has caused some terrorists somewhere to be more careful with their communications,"
You believe that? Oh, I see. You qualified it by saying it is only "likely" that "some" terrorists "somewhere" are going to be "more careful" with their communications. What horse hockey. Why don't you just admit that terrorists aren't blabbing their plans over the telephone? This whole telephone tapping thing is purely to cover the Federal Governments ass in case of another attack. Listening in to telephone calls won't do a thing to stop terror, but at least they can say they're giving it they're all.....by engaging in worthless surveillance.
"and that might cost a great number of American lives"
As opposed to 3,000 GIs in the desert? And YOU'RE the one accusing the Democrats having inconsistent values because something may or may not cause terrorist groups which may or may not exist or possibly alter their communications which are unlikely to be taking place over the phone?
Don Carlson, the Democratic retreat is repugnant to most of us here (I tend to think registered Democrats are a small minority), just as repugnant as the neocon theory that we have to destroy liberty to save it. Both parties want to cover their ass in case of another attack, and neither seems to think a link between spying on Americans and a reduction in terrorism is necessary. -
Don Carlson,
On some other site, you might be able to get away with the inaccurate assertion that the subject of debate was overseas phone calls, or with not once using the word "warrant" in describing the debate that just occured in Congress.
But this is relatively smart crew here, and your attempts to steal those two bases are fooling no one. -
McConnell is right. A press leak during the Clinton Administration alerted Bin Laden that we were surveilling his satellite phone, and he stopped. Apparently he was too stupid to realize we could and would do that.
The real danger of disclosure however is that it exposes us toour most effective enemies, those within. The ACLU, Democrats, media and courts will sieze upon every new revelation of sources and methods to tie our hands, as emerged yuesterday in the latest court ruling to declare unconstitutional a Patriot Act amendment even the Democrats saw as necessary.
Al Qaeda is intent upon commiting acts of nuclear terrorism on the US. Chances are they will succeed. The only chance we have of stopping them is through unbridled signal and human intelligence. But, as Osama has said "Our enemies are fools". Our bureucratic, paranoid culture will prevent those who are trying to protect us from an American Hiroshoima from doing their jobs, especially under the next Clinton Administration. We will be attacked with nuclear weapons, and having no one to counterstrike against, we will in all probability capitulate to Al Qaeda in the face of nuclear blackmail. -
Why is it that the people inside the beltway, Republicans and Democrats both, don't understand that if we give up the freedoms for which we fought a revolution the terrorists win? Is there anything we can do to help them understand that?
"Since the discussion of NSA surveillance has not revealed information specific enough to help terrorists escape detection, it seems clear McConnell's real concern is that public debate might impede Bush's policies. This is a new twist on the old argument for secrecy: Information must be kept from the public not just to keep it from our enemies but to prevent the public from objecting to measures the president considers necessary to protect national security."
The point of such secrecy is to preclude certainty on the part of those being observed, to prevent fearmongering that might end successful operations and to protect sources of useful information from harm.

The US Current Account, New Economy Services, and Implications for Sustainability
The paper considers the implications for sustainability of the US current account of widespread uptake of New Economy services around the world. The main contribution is to estimate new income elasticities for international trade in New Economy services and incorporate these in a simple model of the current accounts. Widespread uptake of New Economy services around the world improves the potential for a sustainable US external balance through two channels. First, uptake of New Economy services raises global growth. Second, it narrows the asymmetry in income elasticity of US trade. But, reasonable estimates of these two structural improvements are not sufficient to stabilize the US current account deficit. Copyright Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2004.Download Info

Well, we're 10 games in. How are the various stats for the team so far? It's too early to say much about the season as a whole, but let's have a look at the numbers, see how they compare to the league, what conclusions we can draw about how the team started the season, and most importantly set the stage for comparisons later in the season.
As not all teams have played exactly 10 games, I have attempted to make all comparisons based on % or per game rates. All stats are based on the games through October 27th.
General stats
- Goals for per game: 2.9 (8th in the league)
- Shots for per game: 30.4 (14th)
- Average shooting % for: 9.54% (9th)
- Missed shots per game: 13.5 (24th)
- Goals against per game: 3.9 (30th)
- Shots against per game: 31.2 (11th)
- Average save %: 0.875 (28th)
- A record of 0.500 (18th in the league with 5 other teams, 9th in the East with 3 other teams)
- Face-off %: 49.8% (15th)
- Give-aways per game: 8.0 (21st)
- Take-aways per game: 7.0 (14th)
- Blocked Shots per game: 12.9 (22nd)
- Hits per game: 23.2 (10th)
What does this tell us?
Goaltending has been an issue out of the gates though. A 0.875 SV% is just not good. It's not all on Anderson and Auld though, there is some evidence in the numbers for a lack of defensive support. 8 give-aways per game definitely needs improvement (though not as bad as Edmonton's 16 per game), and 12.9 blocked shots per game is down from 13.6 last year, and 14.5 the year before. Though do we really want out younger defensive core blocking shots like Sutton and Volchenkov just yet?
Our offense is slightly above average overall. Probably better than most expected at the start of the season. Our shooting % is respectable but we'd have more goals if we hit the net more often. 3 out of every 10 shots goes wide or high.
How's the secondary scoring? Top 3 scorers have 51% of the goals for Ottawa, though you can make the argument that Alfie's 14% is secondary scoring since he isn't on the top line.
As everyone has spotted, the Senators have not been the best team in the league for 60 minute efforts. The breakdown of goals for and against per period bear this out.

The 1st period has been very weak, as a pair of 30th in the league rankings show. The 2nd period has been minimally above average for the league, while the 3rd period numbers make it look like all offense, no defence.
Ottawa has not lead a single game after 1 period, and only 2 games after 2 periods (winning both). We've trailed 8 games after the 1st period (winning 3 of them), and 6 games after the 2nd.
How is discipline? Short answer: not so good. At 14.8 penalty minutes per game, we rank 24th for time short handed. But at least we're taking fewer bench minors penalties now that we're rid of Cory "too many men" Clouston, right? Ooops... we've taken 4 bench minors (compared to 3 for all of last season), for a 29th place ranking the league. Phoenix, at 30th, has also taken 4, but in 9 games.
Special teams! PK was terrible in the first few games. It has improved somewhat, but is still 29th in the league at 72.3%. The power play is red hot, however, with a 2nd 29.4%. Unfortunately, the PP unit averages 2:32 less ice time per game than the PK unit.
Individually, we've got some players on hot streaks. Among all skaters, Spezza is ranked 3rd for points, 10th for goals and 4th for assists, Michalek is 8th for points, Karlsson is 20th for points and 3rd for assists and Gonchar is 22nd for assists.
Among defensemen, Karlsson is also 2nd for points and assists while Gonchar 14th for points and 7th for assists. Kuba (!) is 26th among defensemen for goals, though that's not saying much when the highest scoring defenseman still only has 3 goals.
Miscellaneous other stats
- Z. Smith is the only player on the team to have played more than half of the games while maintaining a positive +/-
- Average home attendance is 18,617 - 90.8% of official capacity (incl. standing room)
- 7 of 29 goals for have been in the last 2 minutes of play, but only 2 of 39 goals against.
- Spezza is 3 goals away from 200 regular season NHL goals. He is on pace to reach that milestone at home in early November, against either the Sabres or the Rangers.
- Our top 4 scorers (Spezza, Michalek, Alfie and Greening) are a single goal short of setting a better goals per game pace than the combined Edmonton Oilers roster. This will also be true if Edmonton scores fewer than 2 goals in their 10th game.

Recommendations Repeated for Deicing Measures
As a result of its investigation into the Montrose accident, the NTSB recommended that the FAA "develop visual and tactile training aids" that show small amounts of contamination on upper wing surfaces, then require all commercial operators to incorporate the aids into their training programs. The Safety Board repeated its recommendation that Part 135 on-demand charter operators using two pilots be required to implement FAA-approved crew resource management training. The NTSB also recommended that air taxi customers and passengers be provided with the name of the company with "operational control," including any "doing business as" (dba) names used, the aircraft owner and the name(s) of any brokers arranging the flight. The Challenger involved in the Montrose accident was registered to Hop-a-Jet, and operated by Air Castle Corp. dba Global Aviation as Glo-Air Flight 73. (In February 2005, the FAA issued an AD requiring revisions to Challenger flight manuals to include a new cold-weather operations limitation).

Nebraska must ante up for coach to get in power hoops game - NCAA Division I Mens Basketball - CBSSports.com News, Scores, Stats, Schedule and RPI Rankings
Which would be more of the same. Nobody unproven is going to come into Nebraska and convince great high school players to do what very few great high school players have done before, and play for the Cornhuskers. It will take a very good coach, maybe even a great coach, to break through decades of mediocrity. So how is Nebraska going to convince a great coach to do what very few (if any) great coaches have done before, and coach the Cornhuskers?
By throwing money at him.
Money-whip somebody until he says yes. Somebody like Shaka Smart or Brad Stevens, assuming they would say yes (or even listen). Somebody like Scott Drew, assuming the same. But it has to be somebody with a big name, somebody recruits want to play for -- and whoever he is, that guy will be expensive.
Good thing Nebraska can afford it.
The Huskers are getting richer in the Big Ten, and the football program is printing money already. It turned a $30 million profit in 2010, and now's the time for Osborne to throw some of those millions at a big basketball name. See which one catches it.

Kanawha County Woman Sentenced In Accident That Seriously Injured Manfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Jeff Morris Web Producer: Jeff Morris Also Contributing: Mamie Buoy Reported: Jul. 1, 2013 5:26 PM EDT Updated: Sep. 3, 2013 4:27 PM EDT
, Kanawha County
, West Virginia
A Kanawha County woman pleaded guilty Monday to leaving the scene of an accident in a hit and run that seriously injured a man in 2010. Amanda Pritt will spend two years in prison after she was sentenced in Kanawha County court on the charge involving the accident and an unrelated charge of fraudulent schemes. As part of the plea agreement, two felony charges of forgery and uttering were dropped. Pritt, her boyfriend and a passenger were arrested following an accident that seriously injured James Dixon, causing him to lose his right leg. Police said Dixon was riding his motorcycle home from work when he collided with Pritt's white Pontiac van at the intersection of Kanawha Boulevard and Tennessee Avenue. Dixon said Pritt made a U-turn right in front of him, hit his motorcycle, and then left the scene. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS

this passage answer the question of what happens when we turn away from God. I don't think we can say once saved always saved. If a person turn away from God and embraces wickedness and sin, are they really saved. This is the Old Testament , but Jesus didn't come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. It keeps saying you think I am not fair, and I think the repetition is because we do think that . We get anger when God forgives and embraces a "real" sinner a murder , and we think it unjust when a Christian sins who has lived a life of goodness. I am not talking about slipping up and then dying . I don't think God is either. He knows we fall short that is why we ask for forgiveness continually when/if we sin. We can always choose not to sin. But I think there is turning away from righteousness.
The funny thing in all this is we can only judge our own heart. God knows when somebody has turned away from righteousness. Not us. I think that is why He says I am not going to visit sins on the sons for the father. God isn't unfair.

It began with Eragon...It ends with Inheritance. Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now, the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances. The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to hope. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaesia? And if so, at what cost? Featuring spectacular artwork by cult artist John Jude Palencar, this stunning book brings the bestselling Inheritance cycle to a breathtaking conclusion.
Christopher Paolini was educated at home by his parents. His abiding love of fantasy and science fiction inspired him to begin writing his debut novel, Eragon, when he graduated from high school at fifteen. He became a New York Times bestselling author at nineteen. Christopher lives in Montana, USA, where the dramatic landscape fed his vision of Alagaesia.

"That was just jerking us around," said Hale, who got into a verbal altercation with Tomblin's policy director, Hallie Mason, in the hallway after the vote.
Hale accused Mason of congratulating a West Virginia Chamber of Commerce staff member after the Senate committee adjourned. The Chamber supports Tomblin's bill. Mason denied making any statements to the Chamber representative, and several witnesses said they did not hear Mason make the alleged comment.
Hale and Lee also expected that Tomblin's revised bill would gut language about Teach for America, a national program that takes recent college graduates and places them in struggling schools. Instead, Tomblin's bill no longer mentions Teach for America, but permits "national teacher corps" programs to operate in West Virginia.
The state Board of Education would have to approve such programs. State school board members have repeatedly pushed for allowing Teach for America to send teachers to West Virginia. Teach for America teachers typically receive about five weeks of training before being assigned to classrooms, and many don't have teaching degrees.
"It's an insult to our teachers to take someone with five weeks of training and say they can do the job," Lee said.
The teachers unions also don't like a provision in Tomblin's bill that expands the school-year calendar. Sen. Erik Wells, D-Kanawha, said the change would help ensure West Virginia students receive 180 days of instruction and that teachers work those days.
"There's not a person around this committee room who is in business who would be willing to pay somebody a full amount for not getting the full value," Wells said.
Other changes in the revised bill:
Senate committee members voted 10-4 to approve Tomblin's education reform bill Tuesday, according to a tally released by education committee staff after the meeting.
Teachers expect their complaints with Tomblin's legislation to get a better reception in the House. House Education Committee Chairman Mary Poling, D-Barbour, is a former schoolteacher.
The Senate Finance Committee next takes up the bill on Thursday.

This is such a lot. This indicates both in cases where Christie's holds the financial interest on its own, and in cases where Christie's has financed all or a part of such interest through a third party.

L. Alloway, Lichtenstein, New York, 1999, p. 41 (illustrated).
New York, Leo Castelli Gallery, Roy Lichtenstein--Brushstrokes & Ceramics, November-December 1965.
This work will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné being prepared by the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation. Dave Hickey wrote, "Like Andy Warhol's Soup Cans, Lichtenstein's brushstrokes were, clearly and at first glance, generational icons. They proposed a critique of the immediate past, clearly intending to supersede it without destroying it - to propose something new that would renew the past". (D. Hickey, Roy Lichtenstein Brushstrokes: Four Decades, New York, 2001, p. 11). In Yellow and White Brushstrokes, Lichtenstein takes the signature of Abstract Expressionism-the bravura brushstroke-and frames it within the Pop idiom. The spontaneous and layered brushwork of action painting reappears in the Brushstroke series as bold but controlled strokes, replete with drips, set against a field of regularized BenDay-dots. Lichtenstein's uninflected and restrained rendering of the brushstroke belie their technical complexity and meticulous handwork. Formulating the brushstroke-the fundamental building block of artistic practice-was no easier for Lichtenstein than it was for his predecessors. Bernice Rose recalls: "He found the brushstroke difficult to create, in fact he found he could not draw it at all, at first. He thought of brushstrokes as wide lines; evidently, it was difficult to draw a description of a line - to describe a line with a line. He finally discovered that if he painted an actual brushstroke as a small study with ink or Magna on acetate, the acetate would repel the wet medium, forcing it to "crawl" back on its own contours, so that it looked like an imitation of itself. Projecting the study onto canvas enabled him to draw an outline around the brushstroke, creating it as a distinct formal unit, stylized as a cartoon." (cited in cited in M. Lobel, Image Duplicator: Roy Lichtenstein and the Emergence of Pop Art, New Haven, 2002, pp. 160-161). Although the Brushstroke paintings were informed by Abstract Expressionism, their sources are more varied. Like Lichtenstein's more familiar works, the starting point was a comic strip. One of the artist's first Brushstroke paintings was a direct reprisal of a panel from the comic strip "The Painting" a horror story from Charlton Comics' Strange Suspense Stories, no. 72 (October 1964). Here, the cartoonist indicates paint in two overlapping strokes of paint; it is from this comic strip image that Lichtenstein developed the visual vocabulary for his Brushstroke series and roots them in the iconography of his earlier paintings. Lichtenstein also acknowledged a debt to the painterly school of Renaissance art in inspiring his Brushstroke paintings. The extravagant and exaggerated brushwork of seventeenth-century artists, in particular those of the Dutch portraitist Frans Hals, are precursors to the assertive brushstrokes of action painting. In the works of both Hals and the Abstract Expressionists, the spontaneous gesture appears to be an end in of itself. It is from this richness of sources that Lichtenstein culls his inspiration for Yellow and White Brushstrokes and canonizes it alongside his comic strip paintings. The comic strip provided the visual reference, but not the format, for Lichtenstein's Brushstroke paintings, thus freeing him from the predetermined configuration of his earlier works. In contrast to the comic strip paintings, the Brushstroke series vary in size, color, and composition from the original inspiration. In Yellow and White Brushstrokes, the looping bands of color and stylized drips call to mind the gestural work of Jackson Pollock. By enlargening and centering the brushstroke, Lichtenstein acknowledges the authority of the brushstroke in the history of art. Yellow and White Brushstrokes was exhibited in the "Roy Lichtenstein-Brushstrokes & Ceramics" show at Leo Castelli in November 1965. The majority of the twelve paintings in this series are in museum collections.

I have yet to have another blood test to check my LDL cholesterol, but I am aware this product will take time to show significant results. No one here in Canada seems to know or understand about the positive effects of red yeast rice. Wish it were available here. Most doctors are pharmacutically driven and therefore quick to they prescribe the chemical statin drugs as their only option refusing to even consider the alternative choices.

Easy to swallow, lowers LDL cholesterol
Posted by Reviewer2177874 From Texas on Nov 26, 2010

I was a bit worried when I ordered this because my other brand 600mg capsules were already pretty big, and I was afraid that double the red yeast rice plus CoQ10 would make this a horse pill. However, I was pleasantly surprised - the pill is not much bigger than my vitamin and is coated so easy to swallow. After taking 2400 mg daily of red yeast rice daily (and watching my diet) for six months, I lowered my cholesterol about 40 pts. Not concrete proof in itself, but consisent with research.

My husband was recommended Doctor's Best Red Yeast Rice as he had a very bad reaction to the Tablets that his Doctor prescribed for him. He has been taken Red Yeast Rice for 2 years now and is very pleased with them and Getting them from I Herb is just the best service and the best price. I had been buying them from another supplier and they were double the price and took much longer for delivery. I Herb take a bow, for your price and very fast delivery . Well Done Carmel Mc Guinness

A product that really works !

I've been using this product for over a year now when my total cholesterol was 260. My last blood test indicated a drop of 68 points to 192. I use two tablets before going to bed since cholesterol is produced while you sleep. Unlike some red yeast rice products, Doctor's Best does not leave me with an upset stomach. I like that it also contains CQ10 which is important in the use of any statin or statin like supplement. This product, together with a healthy diet and exercise really works. AJL New York

Purchased at iHerb
My Dr had me on Statin drugs but after reading of a successful UCLA study on the Red Yeast Rice, I dropped the statins--against my Dr's advice. After 6 months a new test showed showed quite good results, right up there with the statin drugs he prescribed. That was two years ago & I still take the Dr's best as it WORKS for me!! No more statin drugs!!

My name is Water Bucket Walter and welcome to my new UK Water Feature blog. I love sharing new and exciting garden design ideas and simple & effective gardening tips. From time to time I will post new and exciting blog posts and garden news. If you are more of a social media junkie then feel free to come and join me on the UK Water Features Facebook and Twitter profiles where we have exclusive member only content such as gardening competitions and unique voucher codes specifically for our fans and followers. I would love for you to come and join in on the conversation or even start one of your own. Feel free to share your gardening design ideas, garden tips or even just to say hello.
Well with the weather certainly warming up we thought it would be a great idea to add a few new products to our already extensive line. Last week we added a large range of premium garden play features.
We all want our kids to be fit and healthy so it is important that we take a note of the key health benefits of encouraging an active lifestyle while keeping it fun and entertaining. A simple trampoline can amuse children (sometimes adults) for endless hours. Not only will they be outdoors enjoying the sunshine they will be bouncing their way to a fit and healthy lifestyle while having great fun along the way. Trampolining is not only great fun it is also a great way to encourage outdoor play and exercise all year long. With safety a priority, there is a selection of various enclosures for safe bouncing. If trampolining is not exactly what you are looking for, there is good news. Trampolining is not the only outdoor garden play feature that promotes any sort of outdoor play, both wooden and metal swing sets are great ways to encourage some outdoor activity along with activity centres and playhouses, which are exceptionally good for building strong creative and social skills.
Any sort of outdoor activity whether it be bouncing on a trampoline, playing in a sand pit or even playing with football with dad are all great ways to get your kids out there and enjoying an active lifestyle. With technology constantly getting more and more advanced, video games are becoming more appealing. So now is the time where we need to make that little extra effort to promote some outdoor fun and games and get our children outside. Providing a fun filled, safe environment for kids to play is a great way to get your child outdoors and out from under your feet for when those school holidays are in full swing (no pun intended).

Red Wings do not "run large". They're sized to fit like boots Because, well, they are boots. They're meant to be worn with thicker socks and intentionally have extra toe room.
If you choose to wear them to fit like shoes and choose to wear them with thinner socks, that's your prerogative, but they certainly aren't being intentionally mislabeled by Red Wing to have to be worn "sized down". They're sized as they're meant to be worn by Red Wing according to one's Brannock size.
I never said they were mislabeled. But if yo have excessive room in the front of your boots, thats on you. Just because they are "boots" is not an excuse for sizing wrong. I also dont see why we are arguing about this in this thread. Poor fitting footwear is poor fitting footwear, regardless of if its a boot or a flip flop. But for the record, not all lasts fit like a brannock. Some Oak Streets dont either, thus the size down half a size thing that probably started this discussion.

Abstract: Paclitaxel (1a), a well known antitumor agent adopted mainly for the treatmentof breast and ovarian cancer, suffers from significant disadvantages such as low solubility,certain toxicity and specific drug-resistance of some tumor cells. To overcome theseproblems extensive research has been carried out. Among the various proposed strategies,the conjugation of paclitaxel (1a) to a biocompatible polymer, such as hyaluronic acid(HA, 2), has also been considered. Coupling a bioactive compound to a biocompatiblepolymer offers, in general, many advantages such as better drug solubilization, betterstabilization, specific localization and controlled release. Hereafter the design, synthesisand applications of hyaluronic acid-paclitaxel bioconjugates are reviewed. An overview ofHA-paclitaxel combinations is also given.

Why the NASB?
Ultimately, what separates the New American Standard Bible from the various available versions is that the NASB is a literal word-for-word translation from the original languages. In contrast, the others stress either a loose, personalized paraphrase, or a free-style, thought-for-thought translation known as a dynamic equivalent. Both of these place the highest priority on ease of reading and a lower priority on word-for-word preciseness. While such versions may produce smooth English, the literalness of the Word of God is sacrificed. This has never been an option for the New American Standard Bible.
In the history of English Bible translations, the King James version is the most prestigious. This time-honored version of 1611 was translated in 17th century Elizabethan language that is beautiful, yet strange and unfamiliar to many people today.
In the centuries since the KJV was translated, hundreds of English words in it have either changed in meaning or become obsolete, and many new sources of information concerning the Old and New Testament Scriptures have been discovered.For example, today there are about 5,000 New Testament Greek manuscripts available compared to approximately 25 manuscripts that were known in the 17th century. When the original New American Standard Bible was first translated, the translation teams took full advantage of these new discoveries. The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947, for instance, proved instrumental in verifying the early manuscripts. In addition, the NASB translators benefited from Rudolf Kittels Biblia Hebraica, the 23rd edition of Eberhard Nestles Novum Testamentum Graece, the best lexicons, concordances, and commentaries available on the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek Scriptures. In the updated NASB, consideration was given to the latest available manuscripts with a view to determining the best Greek text. In most instances, the 26th edition of Nestle-Alands Novum Testamentum Graece was closely followed. Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia also was employed together with the most recent light from lexicography, cognate languages, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.

text: Dell SecureWorks works with a variety of security organizations globally. These relationships allow Dell SecureWorks to contribute to the global battle against organized and other electronic criminals, to research and share information about emerging threats, and to pool resources when needed to respond to emerging attacks. These relationships are also critical when working with law enforcement in North America and elsewhere to take down phishing servers and resources used by attackers in a timely manner.
