He may have built Yankee Stadium, but there is no evidence that Babe Ruth also broke ground for the Hall of Fame. Nonetheless, the legendary slugger whose groundbreaking career redefined baseball, and who belonged to Cooperstown's charter 1936 class, remains a star attraction of the game's cathedral.
Any trip down the Hall's memory lane is paved with Ruth memorabilia, sparking nostalgic pangs in older fans and educating younger ones. Those tangible relics of a bygone era include Ruth's Yankee Stadium locker, the bat and ball from his 60th homer in 1927, the pen with which he signed his 1932 contract, his bowling bag and ball, and many others. Ruth was baseball, more than anyone else, ever. Many superstars have followed, often too many at a time to allow any one to stand unrivaled. Hank Aaron shared his prime with the talent lode unleashed in a freshly integrated game. Barry Bonds is merely at the head of his own peer posse of headliners. The Babe was a one-man tour de force. His life was the embodiment of so many virtues, and human foibles, Cooperstown tries to preserve. So if the Hall has a patron saint, it is Ruth. Dale Petroskey, president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, chatted recently with MLB.com about Ruth's enduring hold on the game and its shrine. MLB.com: Roger Maris, 1961 ... Hank Aaron, 1974 ... Now Babe Ruth's numbers are again being threatened. Will his memory ever be in jeopardy of being erased? Dale Petroskey: I don't see that. Babe Ruth was more than just the home run king. He really was larger than life. When the game needed great heroes in the '20s, Ruth filled the void. And then some. He was a celebrity, he gave the game a face. Everyone loved Ruth; he was such a friendly guy, with a generous spirit. He helped propel the game's popularity in those early years, and his (home run) record stood for years. MLB.com: But he was a lot more than those records for most home runs in a season and in a career. DP: Sure, he was such a great talent. A pretty good baserunner. Great at hunting, bowling, golf, too; he loved to test himself athletically. But you have to remember, he broke Gavvy Cravath's record of 119 home runs. So think about that: With every home run after that, he kept breaking his own record. For 14 years, every home run he hit set a new record. For generations of Americans, he was the king of baseball. MLB.com: Seventy years and hundreds of inductees later -- how is he still important to the Hall of Fame? DP: As you walk into the gallery of plaques and look down the room, the first five you see are still those of Ruth, (Ty) Cobb, (Honus) Wagner, (Christy) Mathewson and (Walter) Johnson. Ruth is front and center, he'll always be big. Part of the reason, of course, is the many championships the New York Yankees won when he was with them. MLB.com: As big a part as home runs have played in the game, Ruth and Aaron must both occupy very significant spots on the Hall's roster. DP: Yes, Henry Aaron is also a huge part of us here. Just look at his hitting records, throwing home runs aside. Given the kind of hitter that he was, Aaron probably deserves a lot more credit than he gets. Yes, there are signs of Ruth and Aaron throughout the museum. MLB.com: Since Aaron is more contemporary, it seems reasonable that most people would connect more directly with him. DP: Yes. Just today, a family -- they've been here before -- came through. The father was wearing a gray flannel Hank Aaron jersey from the old Milwaukee Braves days. They brought their little son -- Aaron Henry. Just a nice couple (from New York) who just loved and admired him as a man and as a ballplayer, so they named their child after him. MLB.com: If and when he passes Ruth, then possibly Aaron, will Barry Bonds be comparably recognized? DP: Of course. We document the history of the game. If Barry Bonds passes Ruth, which could happen sometime soon, and if we get something (such as mementos) from him, we'd be delighted to feature it. We'd want to make sure that people understood that Bonds is now No. 2 on the list. Slugging percentage | .6898 | 1st |

Tonight the Florida Democratic Convention begins in Orlando, a 3 day event in which more than 3,000 delegates, and several national Democrats will convene to discuss party politics.
But with the exception of former Alaskan Senator and long shot candidate Mike Gravel, no Democratic candidates for President will there. That's because they're adhering to a boycott, part of the the Democratic National Committee's sanctioning the state for moving its Presidential Primary up to January 29th of next year.

A tent in front of the Penitentiary during the January 2013 bushfire emergency
Following the devastating Bush Fires on the Forestier & Tasman Peninsulas near Port Arthur in January 2013, the community rose like a phoenix 'Out of the Ashes'.
This exhibition is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, & the incredible healing power of the creative process.
Museum Coffee Shop, Port Arthur Historic Site
On January 4th, 2013, a catastrophic bush fire raged through the communities of Forcett and the Forestier and Tasman Peninsulas, indiscriminately razing and devouring almost everything in its path. It was an unforgiving and relentless firestorm - fickle to the whim of the wind - a ferocious inferno leaving only destruction and chaos in its wake. And when it finally ran out of puff it left a community desolate and devastated - changing the community's internal and external landscapes forever.
BUT that was then.
And now - although the hurdles are still many and the healing journey ahead still long and daunting - the community refused to buckle - to fall to its knees. Instead it chose to rise unbowed like a phoenix from the ashes.
So many positive changes have occurred since January 2013 and one can sense a softening around the jagged edges of the grief that etch the landscape and tear at the community's heart. Spring is finally here and with it miraculous changes. The community at last can feel the warmth of the sun on its face.
The 'Out of the Ashes' Photography & Art Exhibition not only documents these miraculous changes, it is also a testament to the formidable strength of a community, the resilience of the human spirit and the incredible healing power of the creative process.
The Out of the Ashes Exhibition showcases photographic images from members of the community, drawings from children evacuated at Port Arthur Historic site and art works by respected local artists Jill Harris, Kris Schaffer and Cate Foley Burke and Jeweller Sally Ferrar.
(Access to the exhibition is included in the cost of Site entry and free for local community members and residents).
It will also be exhibited at the Dunalley Waterfront Café & Gallery 14th December 2013–31st January, 2014 and a state-wide tour is in the offing during 2014.

Over the past several years, one of the most important trends to impact organisations is for employees to use their own smartphones and tablets in work. This whitepaper highlights the various benefits of BYOD, but also the many apparent concerns. For example, between 43% and 62% of organisations are concerned about the security of corporate data. Therefore, the importance of IT management when it comes to BYOD cannot be underestimated; up to 33% of organisations feel that the use of smartphones is being hindered because IT cannot manage them to the extent they like.

By Anirban Nag and William James
LONDON, Feb 14 (Reuters) - Euro zone banks' next repayment of emergency loans to the European Central Bank later this month could take some of the shine off the euro, much to the relief of policymakers who fret about a strong currency.
Banks, which took these loans in late 2011 and early 2012 to overcome funding problems because the euro zone debt crisis had made it tough for them to access capital markets, are likely to repay a lower amount than they did in late January. That should see the ECB's balance sheet shrink at a slower pace and cause a drop in euro zone money market rates.
All of which could see a resurgent euro, which has risen this year to reflect higher euro zone money market rates than in the United States and Japan, give up some of its gains.
'Money market rates play a very important role for the euro,' said Adam Myers, European Head of FX Strategy at Credit Agricole. 'We expect euro zone money market rates to ease and that will play a role in dragging down the euro towards $1.28 against the dollar in coming weeks.'
During January the euro moved in almost lock-step with the two-year Eonia rate, which shows how traders expect overnight interest rates to change. The correlation between the two reached 0.8, its strongest since the ECB first flooded the market with long-term loans in December 2011.
The euro jumped to more than 14-month highs against the dollar and a near three-year peak against the yen early this month after European banks repaid 137 billion euros borrowed through the ECB's longer-term refinancing operations (LTRO) two years ahead of schedule.
The repayment in late January, apart from shrinking the ECB's balance sheet, also drove money market rates higher and reflected what ECB President Mario Draghi described as improved financial conditions. It was a far cry from mid-2012 when fears of a banking crisis and a euro zone break-up drove the euro lower.
But, the first early repayments of a second batch of ECB loans, due to be announced on Feb. 22, are unlikely to be as large.
'The payback of the second LTRO looks set to be smaller given that it was primarily the southern European banks that participated in the second LTRO and are less likely to pre-pay those euros back to the ECB,' said Chris Turner, head of FX strategy at ING.
Data on Thursday showed that while the 17-country euro zone slipped into a deeper recession in the fourth-quarter, economic output in southern European members contracted even more, leaving their banks vulnerable to steep asset write-downs.
Turner said a lower payback of emergency loans would keep excess liquidity in the banking sector at comfortable levels and check a rise in money market rates. The euro would have to find a different 'engine' to rise beyond $1.36-$1.37, he added.
A Reuters poll of money market traders forecasts the ECB will announce the early repayment of 125 billion euros of the second tranche of three-year loans.
That would be enough to push back expectations of when the surplus of cash in the euro zone banking system will drain below 200 billion euros -- widely seen as the point at which the overnight borrowing rate starts to rise.
The surplus is currently at around 490 billion euros according to Reuters data, and according to estimates from the ECB President Draghi, will remain above 200 billion euros after the Feb. 22 repayment.
The result should be a flattening of the euro money market curve as traders unwind some of the steepening caused by the large first batch of repayments.
'I would expect some volatility for the Eonia rates before Feb. 22 but afterwards Eonia should correct again and there will be a bull flattening on the curve,' said Giuseppe Maraffino, strategist at Barclays Capital.
Barclays expect one-year Eonia rates to fall to 10 basis points from their current 16 bps once the second major batch of repayments is announced. The rate peaked at 25.8 bps on January 28.
If that fall materialises, the outlook begins to look cloudier for the euro, analysts said.
'With Eonia locked near current levels, we doubt the two-year Eonia swap moves much higher -- the two-year Eonia swap looks as though it has come far enough for the time being,' ING's Turner said.

Today's Baby® Augusta Convertible Crib w/ Extra Firm Mattress
5.00 rating Great Crib!! Had some issues but got great Customer Service! by slai on December 21, 2010
This is a beautiful crib. I love the color. The picture on the website is a little bit lighter than what it actually is. But it is still in the same color family! One of the pieces was broken, but BabyAge was fantastic. They were quick to respond and worked fast to get the issue taken care of.
5.00 rating value for money by Mybabu on November 29, 2010
This product is great value for money. The wood looks really heavy after assembling it. Looks just close to delta or da vinci. I got it for $129 & it was a steal. I was a bit hesitant when i saw it online first coz there were not many reviews of this crib. Was not sure how the quality will be, but this is an amazing crib. When i received my order, one piece on top rail was slightly broken. They shipped the new crib the very same day I called them & even sent a prepaid shipment to the return the damage one. Babyage service is great. If you are not planning to put a fortune on convertible cribs, then this is an excellent piece. Really loved it a lot. Just waiting for my baby to arive & sleep in this crib :)
5.00 rating A crib fit for a King by Tim (Daddy)Durkin on November 11, 2010
Very Easy to put together. Elegant even stain. Thick sturdy pieces. This crib looks even better in person. My only complaint is the price dropped twenty bucks the next day after our purchuse. I know thats how things go but still!
5.00 rating Very Pleased by Mrs. C on November 10, 2010
My mom ordered this crib as a shower gift for our little one on the way. I originally thought that I wanted the cherry finish but instead decided to go with the espresso. I am so pleased that I did. It is a much darker wood than that of which shows on the site. It is more of a mahogany color. Very beautiful. It did have a few minor dings/marks on a couple pieces, but really very minimal and not clearly visible at first sight. It is very sturdy and all the pieces were there! Plus the delivery time after ordering was less than a week.
5.00 rating Beautiful! by R. Boles on October 30, 2010
For the price of this crib, it is absolutely beautiful, made of solid wood and very expensive looking in person. It was also very easy to put together and pretty sturdy. I am very pleased with the purchase.
5.00 rating Love this crib! by JuJu from NC on October 30, 2010
The Baby Augusta Convertible Crib is the best value for the money I've ever seen! This crib is not only beautiful but very sturdy as well. I was initially a little concerned about the color (expresso looks pretty light on the site) but a customer service rep assured me that it is expresso and it is. I ordered on Monday evening and it arrived on Thursday. Assembly was extremely easy and fast. I could not be happier with my purchase!
5.00 rating crib by Satisfied customer on August 17, 2010
I was a little hesitant in ordering this crib because of the price. For my other daughter we brought a Sorelle and I was really impressed. I really like this crib and it is a great deal for the money.
5.00 rating Excellent mattress by Susan Pechon on April 4, 2010
Just the right firmness. Good quality. Great price. Very happy with it. |

Who wins for wave consistency and quality year round between: Southern, NC VS North/Central East Coast of Florida
Last edited by SurfJdog; Feb 20, 2014 at 08:19 PM.
florida for consistency, ive been able to surf whenever i want down here in fl between the east coast, west coast and panhandle, florida nearly always has something ridable if your willing to find it
Yes, NoFla is definitely more consistent--probably the most consistent on the East Coast. BUT, they probably have the most onshore days as well. I would say quality is a really tight race, but I haven't surfed in Florida in over a decade.
im going to add a write in (south carolina) we are the best and have the biggest east coast waves. the sooner yall except it the better. # cam richards #macking folly beach barrels # carolina cutbacks # folly beach the new belmar.
I vote for Southern NC because I live in NE Fl
God, man you are the biggest kook I've seen on this site, you have something retarded to say on every thread I click on. Get outside, do something besides sitting behind your computer with this forum on one tab and porn on another. This goes for a lot of you, especially the ones comparing the same schools and regions for wave quality over and over... I'm done, bye keyboard warriors.
hey idiot that right..you are ill do what ever i want this is america son. i get out ever day and more in one day then you do in a week. you dont like what i say suck it? dont be jealous i surf harder then you, come to my break and ill break you and your board, you talk hard here but not in real life son. go back to your desk job and fat wife im done hearin your nonsence, when you can throw cutbacks like me let me know, otherwise your a tick on the life of my greatness. go suck the tit tick. carry on.

Looking to re-center himself and achieve enlightenment after a second trying season in the spotlight of Philadelphia, Flyers goalie Ilya Bryzgalov has announced his intention to join a Tibetan monastery after this season's conclusion. (parody)
Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen says he's had to operate in survival mode with "total chaos" in front of him for the four games he's played with his new team.
>>Funny after he was mentioned a few times recently here. Apparently, Clemmensen isn't loving life away from New Jersey's far more defensive system. Come on, be a goalie.Goalies are crazy, superstitious and particular. We know this. Their teammates know it. Their parents know it. Goalies themselves even know it and often wear it as a badge of pride -- kind of like...
During the first period, the Islanders received league permission to use goalies coach Mike Dunham in the event Danis got hurt against the Rangers. Dunham, who retired two years ago, spent part of the game stretching and staying loose but would have needed to sign a professional tryout form before playing.
>> Newsday. Always get a kick out of the emergency goalie conditions. The Isles should look into the Caps' Web guy.We'll email you a reset link.

The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? 504
from the what-could-it-be-man dept.
So why don't you just come out and say they are using windows XP?I take it that you didn't even bother to RTFA. It says it has roots in windows 2000 but it is NOT windows 2000, a derivative may be but NOT windows 2000.
I guess my point is : if the dev kits are using G4's PowerPC, does it make the console easier to crack ?
"I think a more interesting line of speculation is: Is Apple developing, or thinking of developing, an OSX version for the new CELL processor?"
You can fool all the people all of the time if the advertising is right and the budget is big enough. -- Joseph E. Levine

library policies and borrowing privileges
Animals - Only service animals are allowed in the library. A service animal is defined as any animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability. Such tasks can include guiding a person with impaired vision, alerting a person with impaired hearing to the presence of people or sounds, pulling a wheelchair, etc. The term service animal does not apply to personal pets.
Cell phones - Cell phones and other electronic devices should be set to a silent mode when entering the library. Users are encouraged to use the entrance areas or stairwells for brief, quiet telephone conversations.
Children - Children under the age of 14 need to be accompanied by a responsible adult, 18 years or older. Children are not allowed to use computers and should not be left unattended. If children become noisy and disruptive, they need to be taken out of the library.
Confidentiality of library records - All library registration and circulation records are considered confidential information.
Food and Beverages - Non-alcoholic beverages in securely covered containers are allowed inside the library. Food is permitted in the Linder Lounge, which includes beverages and snack items in vending machines, an ice machine, microwave, and small sink.
Paging - The library does not provide a paging system. However, users may use phones located on the 6th and 7th floor to accept a page they have received on their personal pagers.
Personal belongings - Users are advised not to leave personal items unattended anywhere in the Library. Users need to report missing items at the Circulation Desk and Security will be notified. Items other than personal items (e.g. wallets, purse, and cell phones) will be kept at the "Lost and Found," located at the Circulation Desk. Personal items will be turned over to Security (Phone: 402-559-5111).
Phones - Phones are located on the 6th floor inside the library entrance and on the 7th floor to the right of the open staircase. Users may only make local calls on the phones provided.
Tobacco - The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) became tobacco-free, as of August 24, 2009. This policy prohibits tobacco use in the library, including but is not limited to cigarettes, cigars, and pipes.
Items that are found in the library will be sorted into two groups:
- Group 1: Items such as clothing, lunch bags, cups, bottles, flash drives and other items that do not provide a personal identity will be put in the "Lost and Found" located at the Circulation Desk. Small items such as watches, jewelry and flash drives will go into the safe.
- Group 2: Personal items such as purses, wallets, cell phones and computers will remain at the Circulation Desk for one hour. If a phone number can be found, Circulation staff will attempt to contact the person regarding the missing items. The Circulation staff will not go through the person's purse, but will open the wallet to secure a name to contact the person. After one hour, Security will be called and the item will be turned over to them. The person will then need to contact the Security Department (402-559-5111) to retrieve the missing item.
The library has 16 locked study rooms located on the 7th floor of the library and are available to UNMC students, faculty or staff. To use a room, a key must be checked out from the Circulation Desk. The keys are checked out for a 4-hour period. They may be renewed twice. Customers that return a key late are charged $1 per hour. When leaving a study room, make sure the door is closed and that you remove all materials from the room so that the room is ready for the next user. Rooms cannot be reserved. Circulation also has white-board markers and erasers that maybe checked out to use on the white-boards that are available in each room.
It is the policy of UNMC to provide 24 hour access to the library for faculty and house staff who may need access to emergency patient care information. The Security Department provides procedures for after hours access:
- UNMC faculty and house staff who need access to patient care information while the library is closed should contact security in order to arrange access to the library.
- A security officer will escort the physician or designated staff member into the library where both will sign in with their name, department, and extension. The security officer will remain with the physician/staff member throughout the stay in the library.
- The physician/staff member will immediately retrieve the item(s) needed. Minimal time should be spent in the library. Ideally a MEDLINE or catalog search will have identified material needed prior to entering the library.
- A maximum of 3 items can be removed from the library under these circumstances. Each item needs to be recorded by the barcode number in the back of the material, as well as by name, volume number, etc. in order to identify the material.
- The following day the library staff will contact the physician to verify the material checked out and the due dates.
- Additional limitations:
- Such a visit to the library should take no more than 1 hour
- Security will escort a maximum of 2 persons into the library
- Security-escorted access to the library is to be used only when patient care information is needed in an emergency situation, and is not to be used to substitute for routine access to the library
- Reference Computers - To defray the high cost of paper and toner, the library charges to print materials from the Reference computers. The library printer does two-sided copying and the charge is 5 cents per sheet of paper. There is no charge for cover sheets. Copies may be picked up and paid for at the Circulation Desk. $2 print cards are also available for purchase at the Circulation Desk.
- Cluster Computers - Print policies from Computer Cluster printers within the library are set and governed by the ITS Department.
The library provides one photocopy machine and one microfiche/film reader/printer for public use. The copier is coin operated (10 cents per black and white page and 25 cents per color page), but will also accept $1, $5, and $10 bills. Copy cards are unfortunately no longer available. The copier also serves as a black and white and color scanner, which can email documents to your email address at no cost. Please remember when photocopying or scanning that all copyright rules apply.
All faculty, staff, and students from UNMC and The Nebraska Medical Center personnel may borrow library materials by presenting their UNMC or Nebraska Medical Center photo identification card and completing additional registration information at the library Circulation Desk. Privileges will not be granted without a valid UNMC or Nebraska Medical Center photo identification card. All materials checked out on your ID are your responsibility. Please be careful who you loan your ID to and who you check out for. Special borrowing privileges may also be granted to those not affiliated with these institutions.
Length of loan is dictated by material type. Loans are subject to recall at any time. Some materials, including reference, reserve, and anatomical models, may be designated as non-circulating.
- Books circulate for two weeks.
- Review and residency books circulate for one week.
- All journals and leisure reading periodicals circulate for three days.
- Multimedia and anatomical models circulate for one week.
A loan period can be extended in person at the Circulation desk or by phone at 402-559-4006. You do not need the item to renew. Renewals can be granted on the following items as long as no one has placed a hold.
- Books can be renewed twice, for two weeks.
- Review and residency books can be renewed one, for one week.
- All journals and leisure reading periodicals can be renewed twice, for three days.
- Multimedia and anatomical models can be renewed twice, for one week, depending on demand.
If an item is checked out to another customer, you may place a hold on that item. When the item is returned, you will be contacted via email that the item you requested is available and on the hold shelf at Circulation. We will hold the item for four days before it is returned to the collection.
Materials that are not checked out and are currently available cannot be placed on hold. Because of the shortage of staff, the library does not have a service to pull materials from the shelves and place them at Circulation to be picked up later.
Two books drops are available for returns on the third floor of Wittson Hall, across from the elevators, and at the Circulation desk. Media, models, and reserve items must be returned to the Circulation Desk.
Overdue Fines and Lost Book Fees
- Overdue notices are a courtesy. All notices are sent out via email. Please make sure that you keep the library informed of any changes to your email address.
- Overdue items are assessed a service charge of 20 cents per day, per item with a maximum of $10 per item. There is a 4 day grace period on most items except reserve items, study room keys and anatomical models. The fine on hourly items is $1 per hour with a one hour grace period. The fines on models are $1 a day with a maximum fine of $50. The service charge is accrued from the first day, so a charge of $1.00 will be assessed on the fifth day if the item is not returned before that day. Service charges are paid at the Circulation Desk.
- Lost books are assessed a standard fee of $35, which includes processing costs, and will be charged on books, single issues of journals, and bound journals, in addition to the full replacement cost of the item. Overdue fines may also be charged if the lost item is not reported to the library within the check-out period.
- Unpaid library charges will result in your ID being blocked from checking out materials from the UNMC Library, not being able to register for classes, request transcripts, access records on the student website, or request any type of enrollment verification.
The library allows faculty and students to place materials on reserve at the Circulation Desk for use by other UNMC students. This service is designed to provide a controlled, ready access to items that are used for course readings. The materials are listed by course number or by the faculty name and are searchable in the Helix Catalog. UNMC faculty, staff, and students may borrow these materials for 2 hours, with one 2-hour renewal if the item is not needed by another patron, for use in the library only. Items such as the ACLS and General or Essential Surgery books may be checked out for 7 days. The reserve item with the sticker stating it is able to leave for one week may be checked out, provided the staff member manually changes the due date in the computer.
For information about placing an item on print reserve, please contact Sue Clark at 402-559-4006 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. The library currently does not provide an electronic reserve service.
Nebraska residents who are members of health related, scientific, teaching, clergy, and legal professions or employees of a health related institution or firm in Nebraska may be extended the following borrowing privileges. Documentation of their profession (e.g. medical license or affiliation with a health related institution or firm) will be required before completing the special privilege forms. Reference and Reserve materials may not be checked out.
- UNO, UNK, or UNL faculty and staff may check out up to 5 books and journals total by showing a valid University photo ID.
- UNO, UNK, or UNL students may check out up to 5 books by showing a University valid photo ID. Journals may not be checked out.
- Creighton faculty may check out up to 5 books by showing a valid University photo ID. Creighton faculty may not check out journals.
- Nebraska professionals may check out up to 5 books by showing a valid photo ID. Journals may not be checked out.
- Nebraska residents may receive limited borrowing privileges to the CHIRS (Consumer Health) collection by presenting a valid Nebraska driver's license or state ID card. Consumers are limited to five books maximum. Nebraska consumers may not check out journals.
- Out-of-state residents who are patients (or family of patients) at The Nebraska Medical Center or Bellevue Medical Center may qualify for limited borrowing privileges by presenting a valid out-of-state ID card and a letter of referral from a medical center health professional.
- Nebraska Library Association College and University Faculty are granted special borrowing privileges of up to 10 books. Nebraska Library Association College and University Faculty may not check out journals. Students from these same campuses are not granted any borrowing privileges. They must restrict their use of library materials to in-house only. See the College and University Library Borrowing Agreement for more information.

The U.S. Supreme Court is more interested in the content of the legal arguments than the names and numbers of supporters for the University of Michigan's race conscious admission policy, legal experts said Tuesday.
Redundant legal arguments from individuals, businesses and organizations supporting U-M's position in defense of its admissions policy won't make it past the justices' law clerks, the experts said.
Last month, President George W. Bush was the most notable among those meeting the deadline to file briefs supporting three white applicants who said they were denied admission to U-M in 1997 in favor of less qualified minorities.
This week, an impressive list of powerful supporters, ranging from retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf and Coretta Scott King to General Motors and Microsoft corporations, said they were filing legal briefs in U-M's defense.
In total, more than 300 organizations have signed about 65 briefs to the U.S. Supreme Court, which will hear oral arguments on April 1 in two cases filed against U-M. Because a winter storm shut down Washington, D.C., Tuesday's filing deadline was extended until midnight. The 85 briefs from supporters on both sides to date could set a court record.
Robert Sedler, a Wayne State University law professor and constitutional expert, said the Supreme Court doesn't need a lot of legal briefs to know that "the country is divided" on the issue of racial preferences.
"They are the Supreme Court; they are deciding the cases based on the law and good briefs that are filed," said Sedler. "They will not be influenced by the fact that President Bush says U-M's policies are unconstitutional or that Fortune 500 companies favor affirmative action."
Sedler wrote one of 54 amicus briefs for the high court on behalf of law professors in the landmark 1978 Bakke case. The court struck down quotas in that case but permitted the use of race as a factor in admissions.
While the Supreme Court can handle quantities of briefs, the justices' law clerks will do the first read, Sedler said.
"If they find something new or an argument that hasn't been made by the parties in the cases they will bring that to the attention of the justices," Sedler said.
The supporters arguing on U-M's behalf could persuade the court to rule against the university, said Roger Clegg, general counsel for the Center for Equal Opportunity, a conservative think tank in Sterling, Va. The group has filed one of 20 briefs supporting the plaintiffs in the two cases.
"If a whole bunch of universities say they use racial and ethnic preferences and they like them, it will not impress the court but may persuade them that this is a serious and widespread problem. The court will not give every brief equal weight
The briefs from the plaintiffs and U-M will be weighed more heavily."
Clegg said a brief filed by U.S. Solicitor General Ted Olson on behalf of Bush last month, criticizing U-M's policies as quotas, will likely be weighed more heavily, too, because the administration writes "the regulations and enforces the laws."
Clegg said the briefs filed by 65 Fortune 500 companies may be viewed by the court as a cover for the corporations' use of race in hiring and promotion decisions.
"A Supreme Court ruling may force them to revamp their own policies," Clegg said. "The court will consider this."
U-M General Counsel Marvin Krislov said the supporters' briefs "reinforce how significant diversity and the Bakke principles have become for our country."
GM filed the first brief of support in July 2000, when the U-M cases were still in U.S. District Court in Detroit. Krislov and former U-M President Lee Bollinger asked for GM's support during a meeting with GM executives in Detroit, Krislov said.
"Lee had the idea to show that the principles of the Bakke decision applied to many sectors of society," Krislov said. "It was the first time anyone had reached out to a corporation in a court case."
GM's Supreme Court brief was filed Tuesday, said GM spokesman Edd Snyder.
"Our opinion has not changed," Snyder said. "We believe that a global company such as GM has to deal with a variety of people, cultures and backgrounds to effectively manufacture and sell our product. The best place to find people who reflect those differences are colleges and universities that are diverse."
U-M officials also sought support from corporations such as Grand Rapids-based Steelcase Inc. and were approached by other organizations, Krislov said.
Networking among corporations had more to do with the number of signers on the Fortune 500 brief than Bush's criticism of U-M, said David DeBruin, a Washington, D.C., attorney representing the group.
The corporate effort was started in 2000 by Jim Hackett, chief executive officer of Steelcase, DeBruin said. Twenty corporations signed onto a district court brief, 32 signed a brief when the cases were before the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. Sixty-five corporations signed the Supreme Court brief filed Tuesday.
"The Supreme Court's decision to take the cases brought more attention to them," DeBruin said. "It is critically important to these businesses that there is diversity at leading colleges and universities."
Free Press Publisher Heath J. Meriwether said he was approached last week by U-M officials to file a brief supporting U-M's position in the cases. But after discussion with officials from Knight Ridder Inc., which owns the Free Press, Meriwether decided not to become involved.
"We are covering the story and didn't want to compromise our coverage by getting involved in the lawsuits," Meriwether said.

The country's attorney general's office says it is the first time troops have been prosecuted for their actions during a protest since the 1996 end of Guatemala's civil war.
Prosecutor Claudia Paz y Paz said Thursday that soldiers ignored police instructions to stay away from the protest by largely Indian demonstrators in western Guatemala over high power rates and constitutional changes. After the demonstrators blocked a highway, some of the soldiers arrived and opened fire. Paz y Paz said investigators found at least 104 shells from ammunition of a type used by the army.

Industrial Engineering Major
Industrial Engineering is among the most broad and far reaching disciplines of engineering. Industrial Engineers develop integrated systems consisting of people, knowledge, equipment, energy and materials. Beholden to no specific industry, Industrial Engineers are commonly found practicing in service industries such as package delivery and health care, software development, financial institutions, government organizations, and of course, all kinds of manufacturing from sensitive electronics to heavy equipment. Because of the flexibility and value of Industrial Engineering skills, employment opportunities for Industrial Engineers are numerous and diverse.
With the rapid growth in the global economy and increased global competitiveness, Industrial Engineers' abilities to improve productivity, reduce waste and preserve natural resources while at the same time maximize profit are in increasingly high demand. As such, Industrial Engineering is among the fastest growing fields in engineering. According to the National Science Foundation (NSF), in 2006 Industrial Engineers made up approximately 13 percent of all engineers employed, making them the third largest group of practicing engineers. Think 13 percent seems small? Consider this. The largest group, Civil Engineers, made up just 17 percent.
Industrial Engineers are involved in practically all types of businesses, government organizations and not for profit organizations. Below is a partial list of easily recognizable organizations that Industrial Engineers are involved in:

The fresh spring sunshine peeked through long enough for a herd of new sheep and goat families to soak up some rays and eat some good hay.
Grace Michaud, co-owner, with her husband, Tom, of Black Rabbit Farm, said a number of babies were born in the past two weeks, including two Jacob sheep on St. Patrick's Day.
She said the morning and afternoon feedings cause a lot of confusion among the sheep because they can't tell their babies apart.
Black Rabbit Farm, 1701 Sequim-Dungeness Way, has an array of animals, including cows, ducks, rabbits, chickens, geese, horses, turkeys and roosters in addition to goats and sheep. It's open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and can be reached at 582-3724 or by visiting www.blackrabbitfarm.com.

Alternatives to Etsy: 5 Other Handcrafted Marketplaces
By this point we're all well aware of Etsy, the leading online marketplace for handcrafted items. Etsy may be the most popular marketplace but they're not the only one. Here are five more options for dressing your home in handmade goods.
- Wood Design This Canadian site works with independent designers to bring their stories and products to the wider world. Shown: Arctic Side Table by Eternal Furniture
- Big Cartel The handmade section of this vast indie marketplace is full of great designers. Shown: Large Serving Spoon by Herriott Grace

Here are 2 others. If you want a NZ/Down-under take on life!
Felt is a New Zealand based online marketplace with an ever-expanding range of handcrafted goods - beautiful, quirky, practical and individual!
Unique NZ gifts, wedding gifts, design store, emerging New Zealand art & design, art prints, Kiwiana, designer furniture, places to stay and more. Usually with an Eco. focus
that first piece in the slideshow is just WOW. so rad. saving my pennies.
I also recently discovered Cargoh.com - which I like because its founders are based out of Vancouver, Canada - I support local businesses wherever I can.
It is self-described as a "global marketplace for independent creatives with a focus on art + design, Fashion + Accessories, Music + Merch and Film + Photography". I like it because they filter who can sell on their site, which in my view avoids duplication and creates a more cohesive range of products.
Don't forget about Artfire.com!
Don't know if this fits here at AT, but Boticca has handbags, jewelry & accessories, much of it handmade, offered by independent designers.
Those serving spoons are beautiful, but not for $240.
www.madeit.com.au is the Australian 'equivalent' of etsy - it's smaller than etsy but has got some pretty cool things.
Anyone know the deal with Scoutmob or the Daily Grommet? Just heard of them this past weekend.
Also Storenvy...
Or you can open your online store in minutes with Shopify. It is definitely the best alternative to eBay and Etsy if you sell handmade products with your own personality.
You'll learn why it is the best on this page: http://alternative-to-ebay.weebly.com
Or try it for free here: www.shopify.com/?ref=try-for-free
For those who are selling on Etsy, it's important to look at the alternatives or even create a website of their own to sell their products. This post might be helpful in figuring out when it's time to move on from Etsy http://webeminence.com/etsy-selling-alternative/
