< Return To Hearing
The Honorable John Cornyn
United States Senator
Opening Statement - Senator John Cornyn Thank you, Madam Chair. As we move forward with our debate on immigration reform, we all recognize the importance of an immigration enforcement system that enhances the security of our citizens and visitors to the United States. No enforcement system, however, should be adopted without assessing the impact it will have on legitimate travel and trade to the United States. Our nation's security is paramount--but trade, especially with our partners on the northern and southern borders, is critical to the health of our economy. The US-VISIT program is one component of an overall border and interior enforcement strategy. Since its inception in 2004, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has made significant progress in phasing-in implementation of the program at air, sea and land borders. DHS must continue working hard to ensure that it continually receives the input of the public and interested stakeholders on any expansion efforts, such as officials along the Texas border. I remain concerned about the affect of the US-VISIT program on the southern border communities. According to DHS, the US-VISIT entry technology has been installed in most air and sea ports, and in the secondary inspection areas at 154 land borders. The Texas border region already has felt the effects of increased security screening at the border. Southern border businesses and officials are concerned with the increased delays at border-crossing checkpoints and the impact of the delays on the local economy. As we continue working toward additional security measures, we need to develop a quick and efficient process to identify those who may be a threat to national security while allowing legitimate, law-abiding travelers to enter and exit the U.S. in a timely manner. One significant initiative to facilitate trade and travel on the southern border is the introduction of my bill, S. 422. This legislation permits Mexican nationals who hold laser visas--and have already undergone rigorous background screening by the State Department and DHS--to remain in the United States for an initial period of six months. The bill allows for expedited entry into the U.S., while at the same time maintains the strong border-enforcement process. It also ensures that commerce on the southern border remains strong and viable--notwithstanding any new enforcement measures DHS may put in place. DHS has indicated that the US-VISIT entry process has been beneficial, especially in terms of identifying criminals and immigration violators. DHS, however, also acknowledges that it needs additional resources and personnel to improve the existing entry process. We need to work with DHS to ensure that they get all the help they need to make the system successful. Recently, DHS announced that it would delay implementation of US-VISIT "exit" procedures at land borders, in part due to the potentially significant delays in the flow of cross-border traffic, and the significant resources it will take to expand existing infrastructure and systems communications that are needed for the US-VISIT process to work effectively. I fully support Secretary Chertoff's decision to focus efforts on expansion of the US-VISIT program at airports, where the majority of travelers enter and exit the United States. DHS should continue to explore various strategies for improving its ability to capture traveler biometrics and entry and exit information. With the movement to create a single, secure, biometric and machine-readable travel card, like the E-passport, DHS should work with industry leaders and stakeholders to determine how latest technologies, such as radio frequency identification technology (RFID) can best be incorporated into travel and entry/exit documents. DHS also needs to complete its law enforcement systems integration, which is the cornerstone of any successful law enforcement strategy. With these improvements, we will eventually be able to have an integrated, entry-exit process that protects our nation's security and facilitates legitimate travel to and from the United States. I yield the remainder of my time. |

Tropical Storm Humberto, 5 a.m. Wednesday
OUTLOOK: Humberto has become this season's first hurricane. The storm remains over the open water of the far eastern Atlantic Ocean. Humberto reached hurricane strength one day after the peak of hurricane season and becomes the second-latest system to surface since 1967, behind Hurricane Gustav in 2002.
Meanwhile, a resurrected Tropical Storm Gabrielle weakened slightly overnight and was gradually moving away from Bermuda.
WHAT FLORIDA CAN EXPECT: Neither Humberto nor Gabrielle is expected to affect Florida or the U.S. coastline.
PARTICULARS: Humberto is projected to attain top winds of 90 mph as it aims north in the Atlantic over the next two days. Then it is predicted to turn west and begin weakening in cooler waters by Friday.
LOCATION: 310 miles northwest of the Cape Verde Islands
STRENGTH: 75 mph maximum sustained winds
MOVEMENT: Northwest at 8 mph
OTHER SYSTEMS: At 5 a.m. Wednesday, Tropical Storm Gabrielle was about 55 miles northwest of Bermuda with sustained winds of 50 mph and moving northwest at 8 mph.
Follwing its brush with Bermuda, Gabrielle is forecast to curve northeast and skirt Nova Scotia, Canada, potentially still as a tropical storm, on Friday.
The National Hurricane Center also is monitoring a disturbance in the western Caribbean near Mexico's Yucatan, giving it a low chance of developing over the next two days and a high chance of developing over the next five days. That system could spin up into a storm in the Bay of Campeche and threaten Mexico in the next few days.
The next tropical storm will be named Ingrid.

Audubon National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in central North Dakota and is part of a landscape that is marked by numerous wetlands called potholes. These land depressions are what remained after glaciers melted from the area over 10,000 years ago. This landscape, commonly called the prairie pothole region, extends from North Dakota into Canada, Minnesota, western Iowa, South Dakota, and eastern Montana.
The Refuge encompasses 14,735 acres of native prairie, planted grasslands, and wetlands. These lands are managed to meet the needs of many species of wildlife.
On May 25, 1956, Snake Creek NWR was established after construction of Garrison Dam was completed across the Missouri River. This 2.5 mile long dam created a huge reservoir named Lake Sakakawea, which is 368,000 acres in size. Snake Creek NWR replaced some of the important wildlife habitat that was lost when Lake Sakakawea was filled. In 1967, Snake Creek NWR was renamed Audubon NWR to honor John James Audubon, one of the great naturalists and wildlife painters of the 19th century. Audubon spent the summer of 1843 near this area collecting bird specimens and painting pictures of northern plains wildlife.
Audubon NWR provides food, water, shelter, and space for a variety of wildlife species. Refuge managers focus their efforts on managing the land to meet the needs of waterfowl and other migratory birds, threatened and endangered species, and resident wildlife.
Audubon Refuge extends a thank you to the photographers who contributed their artwork for this website. Photo Credits.

ProsGreat for long trips, comfortable seats, has all the bells and whistles and in my opinion is the most luxurious and best looking SUV on the road besides the full size Rover ConsGas mileage
Aweswome! — The gas mileage is rediculous It is a bigger car than I am used to leg room is less than desirable The breaks are too sensitive and in turn make's breaking kind of jerky But the car is high performance for an SUV And the handling is very responsive for it's size Primary Use: Family transportation

2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE
ProsLovely looking car, solid build quality ConsOptions cost too much but you will want at least some of them....funny gas smell when suspension is raised or lowered..
Range Rover Sport — i may be biased over here, i probably am, but everything about this car is perfect.... the problem i have with it is that options cost too much! i left out the GPS cos they were asking for 5 grand extra...im thinking "this is nuts" just cos im getting such a nice car does not mean i should splurge on costly accessories if there are cheaper, more reasonable alternatives, a good Top of the line GPS device will be about 400-500 dollars. So forget the extra 5 grand....buy a portable GPS device and spend the rest on a worthier cause.... in terms of performance, its pretty good, its not the sort of car you want to go on drag races with, but it has a kick to it, floor the accelerator and the car will prepare itself for a second, then lurch forwards as if it was kicked by some sort of giant footballer.... it has a very good sound...after a good drive, the car usually has a series of cracking noises for a few minutes, i guess its cooling itself down or something, the security is tops aswell, 2 days ago i left the car unlocked in the driveway and a few minutes later it Blared the horn loudly so as to notify me that i has not locked it, alarm is perfect and parking sensors do the job very well, you can generally get within 30 cm of obstacles safely a good suggestion, however, is to read the handbook....there are alot of things that you may need to know in order to drive safely...like how to use HDC(hill descent control) and Terrain Response....Also washing the car, it is imperative that you read that cos you could end up ruining the paint job of the car... I'm sure i've not covered everything about this car so feel free to add some input and any views you have on the car.. thanks |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE
ProsLove it ConsThe 5 month wait for delivery!!
Range Rover Sport — Took delivery of a Tonga Green RRS on 23 May '08. Waited 5 months for the car, I ordered it on 28th Dec '07. It's amazing and well worth the wait, love the car, the colour, the performance, in fact everything, it's great. It is a company car however if I was ever looking to buy my own car I'd have no doubt in buying a RRS. My wife likes it so much she wants to purchase it when I replace it in 2011, changing her beloved Alfa 147GTA. |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE
ProsA great off and on road vehicle. ConsLand Rover charges for parts and service at a high rate. But being a little handy saves you money
A Sophisticated Vehicle With The Ability To Drive You On An African Safari — I love the sophistication and class that it portrays. It rides above the rest with a firm control of the road, even in the outback of Australia if you please. The interior ride is smooth and has a nice amount of room. The kids can even watch some DVD's if they like with the entertainment system. A great family vehicle as well as a weekend warrior ride. Primary Use: Family transportation |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged
ProsLove this truck so much, I bought another one a year newer. ConsHad to sell it to buy the new one.
2008 Range Rover Sport Supercharged — I love the way this truck looks, feels and drives. Everything about it is top notch. I loved it so much, that I bought the 2009 HST pkg version of the same exact truck. Love Range Rover Sports Supercharged and am looking for a 2010-11 right now. |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged
Prosits about looking the goods in this baby..!!! Consmpg
Poser's Dream.... — comfort,...and looks....they stand out above build quality and performance,the performance is only achievable when travelling in a straight line,attempt it on a corner or even a bend?...and the thing rolls like a tree in a gail....mpg is quite poor to the say the least... Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged
ProsFeatures, Comfort ConsNot the best offroading
Love It — Its a black range rover HST model, it is the top model of land rover company. This is not the only car i hold, i have many other cars that I own. Its one of the best luxury SUV. 10/10 Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE
ProsRide, Engine, Interior, Looks ConsFuel Consumption and nothing else.
Rr Sport — The car looks great, and gives a great feel good factor. I wish I had gone for the supercharged version as the V8 std is not electric. It handles brilliantly and the sound system is fantastic, also as it is Middle East Spec it is fully loaded. Sarah loves it! |
2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Supercharged
Prosevery thing Consnooooooooooooooooooooooo
It's My Beeest Caaaar — Range Rover Sport is a totally new breed of Land Rover. Every inch of its athletic, muscular body has been designed with aerodynamics and exhilarating performance in mind. With a raked windscreen and roofline and a smooth rounded body, Range Rover Sport looks like it´s moving even when it´s standing still. A rear spoiler, all-terrain sport tyres and optional 20 inch alloys further enhance its sports tourer credentials. |

Celebrate fantastic literature and meet award-winning writers at some of Scotland's acclaimed book festivals held across the country from Glasgow to the Scottish Borders.
Discover the many fantastic literary festivals held across Scotland every year that showcase the country's world-class writers. What better way to celebrate literature than to spend a day at an event dedicated to the written word?
Edinburgh is widely known as the festival capital of Europe and its annual Edinburgh International Book Festival is the largest public celebration of literature in the world. Every August, book lovers flock to the city to choose from over 700 exciting events including readings by famous authors, writing workshops and poetry jams. With a huge selection of events, there is something for people of all ages and tastes to enjoy.
Uncover over 250,000 books in Scotland's National Book Town in Dumfries & Galloway and visit Scotland's largest second hand bookshop, aptly named The Bookshop. In autumn, Wigtown also hosts the annual Wigtown Book Festival where highlights include poetry readings, expert advice on what you've written and Wigtown Ink - a festival within a festival for writers by writers.
Head to Glasgow in March for the city's humorously named Aye Write! book festival, an event that celebrates the rich variety of Glaswegian writing alongside an eclectic mix of Scottish and international writers. You can take part in a creative writing workshop, hear spectacular verse in the Scottish Poetry Slam or relax with a great book in the Mitchell Library, the largest public reference library in Europe.
Take a trip to the Scottish Borders for the Borders Book Festival which attracts thousands of literary fans to the town of Melrose each summer. The festival features some of the UK's best-known writers, performers, politicians and commentators every year. Past names include Michael Palin, Christopher Brookmyre, Michael Parkinson, and John Byrne. The highlight of the event is the awards ceremony for the Walter Scott Prize for historical fiction where you can hear extracts from the shortlisted books.
Fans of crime fiction should head to Stirling in September for the inaugural Bloody Scotland book festival and a weekend full of talks and workshops from international authors and criminal experts. Authors appearing at the 2012 event included Ian Rankin, Christopher Brookmyre, Val McDermid and William McIlvanney.

Originally Published: January 15, 2014 6:00 PM Modified: January 16, 2014 2:15 PM
DSO reaches 3-year contract with musiciansBy Sherri Welch
The Detroit Symphony Orchestra and its musicians have negotiated a new contract, eight months before the current contract expires. The musicians ratified the three-year contract today, following the orchestra board's approval of the new pact on Monday, the DSO said in a news release. The two sides reached agreement Jan. 6 after nine "remarkably constructive" bargaining meetings, according to the DSO. The contract represents a turning point in the orchestra's history, prioritizing the DSO's legacy of artistic excellence "while continuing to position this organization at the forefront of innovation and accessibility," said DSO President and CEO Anne Parsons. The terms of the agreement also fit within the parameters of the DSO's 10-year plan, the DSO stated. Announced at the DSO's 2012 annual meeting, the 10-year plan, "Blueprint 2023," calls for boosting the DSO subscriber base, increasing the annual fund, slowing the growth rate of expenses and raising a permanent endowment fund. The agreement between the DSO and the members of American Federation of Musicians, Local 5 takes effect Sept. 1, 2014, and runs through Aug. 31, 2017. Key tenets of the agreement include:

"A yield of" is correct, because the word "yield" does not start with a vowel.
In fact, questions of this type can be answered by using the Internet. If you google "a yield of", you get over a million returns, but if you google "an yield of", you get only around 10,000 returns, which means the former is correct, for most people use it.

It's funny how when sensationalist news articles talk about a Slashdotter's field of expertise, he is often skeptical. And rightly so, since he sees plenty of distortions and general shoddy journalism in popular news sources... when it comes to his field of expertise. But when an obviously sensational news article appears that is about some topic he knows almost nothing about... well! No need to be skeptical there! It must be the absolute truth!
This behavior is even more prevalent when the said news article is about something the Slashdotter hates and is not an expert on.
In short, I think we need to be a bit more skeptical about this supposed news. Here's a different perspective on it: http://tofspot.blogspot.jp/2012/06/fundies-are-coming-fundies-are-coming.html

Stupid title. Immaculate Conception does NOT mean virgin birth. The former (a member of a fallen race being free from Original Sin from conception) is a metaphysical concept that cannot be observed empirically. The latter (a female giving birth without having prior sexual intercourse) may, in fact, be observed empirically.
Sorry for the irrelevant comment. Anyway, interesting article!

It starts a new cycle - claiming that because of this the Mayans predicted the end of the world would be like saying at the end of every year that the world is about to end.
Yeah, it's also like saying at the end of every millennium that the world is about to end. Haha!
We might never know if some Mayans ascribed eschatological significance to their own calendar cycles. But if they did, they certainly weren't the last people to do it.

I expect if you humans don't wipe each other out with your stupidity and wars, that the next 50 years will be quite an interesting time for science.
Well, obviously you aren't one of "us humans". On behalf of all of us mere humans, I apologize that you and your fellow supermen, our moral and intellectual betters, have to witness our incredible stupidity. We are grateful for your patience as we try to sort out our various problems. You, of course, are free from stupidity or error of any kind, and it would be our undeserved privilege if you would deign to drop but a few hints from your infinite well of knowledge upon us on the matter of how we are to make our science more interesting to you. Should we, perhaps, abandon all else and focus our energies and our limited minds in developing our replacements: artificial minds that would surpass us in intelligence, and be therefore more worthy of you time? Please tell us, oh master. Our primitive brains thirst for a glimpse of true infallibility!

Wait, you mean this book isn't satirical?
Well would you look at that. Radical environmentalism has gone full circle from wanting to give animals human rights to asking people to eat their own beloved pets. I loathe to see the day one of these people comes to power. Who knows when they'll start to take A Modest Proposal seriously. Save the Planet, Eat Your Children!

Photo: L. Buscacca/WireImage.com Pam Houston considers her ongoing talks about writing with Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison to be among the great joys of her life. Recently, she and Morrison discussed those times a writer lives for, when she is able to enter that fluid space of inspiration where one good line keeps following another. In a voice as eloquent as it is playful, Morrison described ways those moments of grace manifest, both on the page and in her life.
Pam Houston: Lots has been written about the difficulty of writing, how murderous it is to face a blank page, but how does it feel when it goes well, what do you think is activated when it all starts to come together? Toni Morrison: Yeah. That is a beautiful sort of open and closed world. Open because anything can happen, and you don't always know, you are just eager to follow, and closed because it is yours, completely yours, and other things outside of it are very secondary, almost irrelevant. After I finished The Bluest Eye, which took me five years to write, I went into a long period of...not deep depression but a kind of melancholy. Then I had another idea for a book, Sula, where I was trying to write about real friendship between women—and the whole world came alive again. Everything I saw or did was potentially data, a word or a sound or something for the book, and then I really realized that for me writing meant having something coherent in the world. And that feels like...not exactly what I was born for, it's more the thing that holds me in the world in healthy relationship, with language, with people, bits of everything filter down, and I can stay here. Everything I see or do, the weather and the water, buildings...everything actual is an advantage when I am writing. It is like a menu, or a giant tool box, and I can pick and choose what I want. When I am not writing, or more important, when I have nothing on my mind for a book, then I see chaos, confusion, disorder. Right now I have been thinking about a time, a place, some characters I want to write about. And then one day I got this powerful image of horses fighting. The sentence I heard was "They stood up like men." So I followed that. This little kid and his sister are watching the horses, and the scene holds something terrifying, awe-inspiring, enviable, for them. I thought to myself, "What am I talking about? I've never seen horses fighting. Do they even stand up?" So I ran around and I got some films, and of course horses bite a lot when they fight, but they do stand up. I don't know where it came from—this picture of the horses—but once it was there, I knew the kid, this character who is a child, who is black and vulnerable and living in the '50s in a place where race circumscribes him. And the look of the horses is one thing—and the violence involved—but the other thing is the "like men" part of the sentence, the "how to be a man" part; that notion is what is important to the boy. So I go forward...starting out with an image, even if I don't know yet how to squeeze it, how to use it. It is trusting that picture that keeps me going.
