Two far-reaching ideas by Cincinnati's fly-by-the-seats-of-their-pants City Council is being sharply criticized by people with extensive experience in policing issues.
As City Council acts surprised about a $58 million deficit that's loomed on the horizon for months, an amount that's only fluctuated slightly due to changing revenues, members last week proposed abolishing the Cincinnati Police Department's patrol bureau and contracting those services to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office.
A groundbreaking piece of legislation that would update investigative practices used by law enforcement agencies statewide has passed out of committee and is headed for a vote by the full Ohio House. State Rep. Tyrone Yates (D-Walnut Hills), chairman of the House Criminal Justice Committee, announced today that Substitute Senate Bill 77 was approved. The committee voted 8-2 in favor of the bill.
An investigation by nonprofit journalism group ProPublica has uncovered the identity of one of the secret super PACs funding advertisements attacking U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and promoting his challenger, Ohio state treasurer Josh Mandel.
The group is the Government Integrity Fund and is headed by Columbus lobbyist Tom Norris. Norris' lobbying firm Cap Square Solutions employs former Mandel aide Joe Ritter.
Ritter declined to comment to ProPublica about his role with Norris' lobbying firm or whether he is involved with the Government Integrity Fund.
The race between Brown and Mandel is considered vital to Republicans who want to take control of the Senate and Democrats who want to hold on to their majority. It has turned into Ohio's — and the nation's — most expensive race.
The Associated Press reported in August that outside groups — like the Government Integrity Fund — have spent $15 million supporting Mandel, while similar groups have spent $3 million for Brown.
It's unknown where the money is coming from because federal regulations and the U.S. Supreme Court's Citizens United case allow the groups to spend unlimited amounts of cash on political ads without disclosing their donors.
Such groups are classified as non-profit "social welfare" groups, which don't have to release donor information or register with the Federal Election Commission. They're supposed to be "primarily" engaged in promoting social welfare.
Super PACs aren't supposed to coordinate with campaigns, but it is common for them to hire politicians' former aides.
According to ProPublica, Ritter was first hired by Mandel as an aide when the candidate was in the Ohio Legislature. He was then the field director for Mandel's state treasurer campaign and then became a constituent and executive agency liaison when Mandel won that race. He left the treasurer's office after six months to work for Norris' lobbying firm.
Ritter was part of an ethics complaint filed after a Dayton Daily News investigation into Mandel's practice of hiring former campaign workers for state jobs. Ritter has contested the charges.
Norris' ties to the Government Integrity Fund was discovered by ProPublica through documents filed with Cincinnati NBC affiliate WLWT. The Federal Communication Commission requires TV stations to keep detailed records about political advertisers.
Just a few weeks after leaving office, ex-Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is trying to raise awareness about a political action committee (PAC) she helped create while campaigning last year for the U.S. Senate nomination.
Courage PAC is designed to increase grassroots advocacy and citizen activism on several issues, and perform a watchdog role on Ohio government now that Republicans fill most statewide offices.
For all the rhetoric about the United States' right to freedom of the press, the best reporting on the governmental secrets revealed by WikiLeaks, and the deeper issues they raise, has been done by media outlets in other nations. And the best and most in-depth interview with Julian Assange has been done by a British journalist for Al Jazeera, the Arab satellite news channel.
David Frost, who famously interviewed President Nixon a few years after his resignation following the Watergate scandal, now has a program on Al Jazeera, entitled Frost Over the World.
Some major decisions are expected in the next few days, and we're not referring to how the dithering, ineffectual Cincinnati City Council will finally close a $54 million deficit.
Rather, the decisions coming soon are who will replace Republican Chris Monzel on City Council, and who will replace Tom Callinan as editor at The Enquirer.
Between tweeting happily about U.S. Rep. John Murtha's death and gloating over Cincinnati losing out on federal funding for its proposed streetcar project, an anti-tax group has also posted on its blog about something more substantive: A legal victory against an Ohio law it said was unconstitutional.
On National Coming Out Day, Cincinnati's only openly gay city councilman told CityBeat that equality for America's Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgendered people would take a hit under a President Mitt Romney.
"On day one (of his presidency) he (Romney) could hurt gay families by reinstating Don't Ask, Don't Tell and hurt security for our country," Seelbach said. "We need as many people serving as possible."
Councilman Chris Seelbach spoke to CityBeat as he waited to vote early outside of the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
Proponents of the measure that prevented openly gay service members from serving in the military have said repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell would damage the country's combat-readiness.
A study published by the Williams Institute at University of California Los Angeles Law School in September found that there has been no overall negative impact on military readiness, unit cohesion, recruitment, retention or morale.
Seelbach said there would be a stark contrast for LGBT people under President Barack Obama and his GOP rival. He pointed to the Obama administration's refusal to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court; his vocal approval of same-sex marriage; anti-discrimination measures signed by the president that, among other things, give same-sex partners the right to visit their loved ones in the hospital and make medical decisions.
He said the next president would also likely have the opportunity to appoint new justices to the U.S. Supreme Court. The court will likely decide the fate of California's Proposition 8, which outlawed gay marriage.
"If you care about equality, you've got to vote," Seelbach said. "The easiest way to vote is to vote early."
The Obama campaign in Ohio plans to release a new online ad touting the president's accomplishments for LGBT people.
The ad, made available to CityBeat, features Zach Wahls, a gay-rights activist born to a lesbian couple via artificial insemination. Wahls is known for his testimony before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee against a constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in that state.
In the ad, Wahls touts the president's accomplishments and exhorts Ohioans to reelect Obama.
"We want to make sure that we're all doing everything we can this fall to get out, register voters, canvass, knock on doors, get our family members and friends out to the polls so that we can re-elect the best president this country has ever seen on LGBT rights," Wahls said.

Elizabeth Quay (formerly Perth Waterfront) is a $2.6billion project that will return the city's focus to the iconic Swan River and enhance Perth's reputation as one of the most liveable cities in the world. It is the centrepiece of a bold plan to revitalise central Perth.
Delivered by the State Government and supported by the City of Perth, Elizabeth Quay will cover nearly 10 hectares of prime riverfront land between Barrack and William streets in the heart of the city. The project will create a magnificent precinct featuring a 2.7 hectare inlet surrounded by a split level promenade, shops, cafes, restaurants and other exciting entertainment venues.
The project will provide new inner-city residential options as well as much-needed hotel and short-stay accommodation, and significant additional commercial space. It is one of several major urban developments being undertaken that will help to further position Perth as contemporary, international city.
Elizabeth Quay has moved into delivery phase - funding has been committed, all major project approvals are in place and works have commenced on site. The public realm around the waterfront inlet will be available for public use in spring 2015, in advance of the completion of private sector developments. Whether you're a local or a tourist visiting for work, rest or recreation, Elizabeth Quay will be a destination for everyone.
When complete, Elizabeth Quay will be an exciting destination that offers a range of activities to attract people of all ages, at all times of the year.

Opportunity to Use Countywide Election Precincts in Countywide Elections Held on November 2, 2010
TO: | County Clerks/Elections Administrators |
FROM: | Ann McGeehan, Director of Elections |
DATE: | June 23, 2010 |
RE: | Opportunity to Use Countywide Election Precincts in Countywide Elections Held on November 2, 2010 |
Counties interested in participating in the countywide election precinct program (the "Program") for the November 2, 2010 election should notify the Texas Secretary of State's Office of their intent. If your county is interested in participating in the Program for the November 2, 2010 uniform election or if you need more information, please contact Shameika Franklin or toll-free at 1-800-252-2216.
As you may recall, House Bill 719 was passed during the 81st Legislative Session and represents a continuation of the countywide election precinct programs conducted in 2006 and 2008.
The Program is permanent rather than a temporary pilot, with limitations added as to eligibility requirements and the number of participants. The Secretary of State may select three counties with a population of 100,000 or more and two counties with a population of less than 100,000.
Participating counties may use countywide polling places in the following elections: the general election for state and county officers, a countywide election that takes place on the uniform election date in May, a constitutional amendment election, and a joint election when holding any of the aforementioned elections with a local political subdivision (i.e., city, school district, etc.). Counties must make separate applications for each election date.
Minimum Requirements
A county must meet the following minimum requirements in order to participate: (1) have exclusive use of direct recording electronic (DRE) voting systems at all polling places; (2) have implemented a computerized voter registration list that allows instantaneous verification that a voter has not already voted at another polling place; and (3) if the county has not participated in one of the previous pilots, must hold a public hearing to inform and solicit opinions from voters, minority organizations, and other interested parties (e.g., political parties, political subdivisions within the county, and organizations representing voters with disabilities). A transcript or electronic recording of the hearing must be submitted to the Secretary of State. Although not required by statute, we encourage counties that have previously participated to conduct a new public hearing.
In addition, counties selected to participate in the Program must adopt a methodology to determine the placement of the countywide polling places. For an election held in the first year in which the county holds an election under the Program, the total number of countywide polling places may not be less than 65% of the number of precinct polling places that would otherwise have been used in that election. For subsequent elections, this number drops to 50%.
Communication Plan Required
A selected county must also develop a plan for providing notice and informing voters of the Program and of the changes made to the locations of election day polling places that will occur. The county must solicit input from organizations that represent minority voters and voters with disabilities. At a minimum, an election day notice indicating the location of the nearest countywide polling place must be posted at each precinct polling place that was used in the last general election for state and county officers but will not be used in the election under the Program. A county's plan to participate in the Program must address how the county will handle the following issues:
First, participation in the Program represents a change in voting that must be precleared with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ") under Section 5 of the federal Voting Rights Act. DOJ will review the proposed number and locations of the countywide polling places to determine whether they could have any discriminatory effect on the basis of race or language group.
Second, local political subdivisions may hold a joint election with a participating county. State law requires local political subdivisions using the November uniform election date (excluding municipal utility districts located within Harris County or counties bordering Harris County) to use the regular county polling places in the county election precincts that contain territory from their elections. Political subdivisions in participating counties would need to have a presence at each of the countywide polling places at which its voters would be eligible to appear, either through a joint election with the county or conducting its own polling place at each of the locations. Counties that wish to participate in the program will need to demonstrate that the details of local joint elections have been resolved or at least that the governing bodies have agreed that they will resolve such issues.
Third, while House Bill 719 does not explicitly address the question, we believe that the election officials at each of the countywide polling places would need to be appointed according to the same list procedure as Election Day judges and clerks to the extent possible. Again, counties that wish to participate in the Program will need to demonstrate that the county commissioners court and the county chairs have resolved how polling place officials will be appointed.
Finally, House Bill 719 requires the Office of the Secretary of State to file a report with the Legislature concerning the Program, including a recommendation on the future use of countywide polling places on January 1 of each odd numbered year. All counties that participate in the Program will be expected to contribute their specific findings after each election held with countywide precincts, which will be included in the report.
Below is the proposed schedule for implementing countywide election precincts on the November 2, 2010 uniform election date this year.
- Wednesday, July 14, 2010-Deadline to provide notice of intent to participate to the Secretary of State.
- Tuesday, August 3, 2010-Selected counties must submit plan for the Program to Secretary of State by this date.
- Tuesday, August 10, 2010-Deadline for SOS to approve proposed local plans for the program and provide detailed guidance on the information that will be requested from the Secretary of State and that will be included in the final report after each election held under the Program. The counties will be required to submit this information to the Secretary of State no later than 30 days after the election.
- Thursday, September 2, 2010-Deadline for selected counties to submit local countywide Program for preclearance with DOJ if countywide election precincts will be used at November 2, 2010 general election.
- Thursday, December 2, 2010-Deadline for county clerk/elections administrator to submit report on local countywide Program to Secretary of State.
- Saturday, January 1, 2011-Deadline for Secretary of State to submit report on countywide program to Legislature.

Jason Treborn: You can't change who people are without destroying who they were.
[Evan tells Kayleigh to cover her ears]
Evan at 7: What time is it?
Mr. George Miller: It's time for you to do what I tell you to do...
Evan at 7: Wrong answer fuck bag. This is the very moment of your reckoning. In the next 30 seconds you're gonna open 1 of 2 doors. The first door will forever traumatize your own flesh and blood.
Mr. George Miller: What's happening, how are you doing this?
Evan at 7: It'll change your daughter from a beautiful child into an empty shell whose only concept of trust was betrayed by her own sick pedophile father. Ultimately... it'll lead to her suicide. Nice work, Daddy.
Mr. George Miller: Who are you?
Evan at 7: Let's just say you're being closely watched, George. Your other option is... to treat Kayleigh like, say like a loving father treats his daughter. Sound okay to you, Papa?
Mr. George Miller: Yes.
Evan at 7: Listen close then fuckbag. You screw this up again - I'll flat-out castrate you. What you need to do, is discipline your son Tommy cause the kid is one sadistic pup. One last thing...
[Evan whispers something in Kayleigh's ear]
Kayleigh at 7: [yelling at her father] Don't ever touch me again!
Mr. George Miller: I won't.
[first lines]
[reading aloud as he writes a note]
Evan: If anyone finds this, it means my plan didn't work and I'm already dead. But if I can somehow go back to the beginning of all of this, I might be able to save her.
Evan's note to Kayleigh: I'll come back for you.
Evan: Jesus speaks to me in my dreams.
Dr. Redfield: Just think of your mind as a movie, you can pause, rewind or slow down any details you want.
Nazi Inmate #1: Shit on my dick, or blood on my knife?
Evan: Tell me the Greek alphabet. Huh huh huh? Alpha beta...
[after handless Evan has just tried to commit suicide by drowning himself in the bathtub]
Tommy: You forgot to put the toaster on the ledge.
Evan: Lenny likes Poptarts. You guys are all the better now.
Tommy: I know it's hard but you can't give up.
Evan: I can't even fucking kill myself.
Tommy: Don't talk like that.
[to the neo-Nazi inmates]
Evan: So, should I suck your dick now?
Title Card: It has been said something as small as the flutter of a butterfly's wing can ultimately cause a typhoon halfway around the world. - Chaos Theory
Evan: Are you walking home? Can I walk you?
Evan Treborn at 13: You really have no clue how beautiful you are, do you?
Tommy at 13: [when he sees his sister kissing Evan] What are you doing?
Evan: [Repeated insult] Fuck Bag.
Thumper: Maybe there's a reason you've repressed the day some pervert had you in your tighty-whities.
[glances at Evan's journals]
Thumper: Hey Man, I'd think twice about what you're doing. You could wake up a lot more fucked up than you are now.
Evan: More fucked up than I am? You think you know me? *I* don't even know me!
Kayleigh Miller: Where'd you learn those new tricks?
Evan: What? It... it wasn't... weird... was it?
Kayleigh Miller: Yeah, if you call multiple orgasms weird!
[upon discovering his armlessness]
Evan: What the fuck is this?
Evan: I just thought that you should know.
Kayleigh Miller: Know what?
Evan: That you were happy once... with me.
Kayleigh Miller: You know there's one major hole in your story, there is no fucking way on this planet, nor any other I would ever be in some fucking sorority.
Evan: [Whispering] You were happy there...
Evan: [to Kayleigh] I've already lost you once, I'm not gonna lose you again.
Jason Treborn: You can't play God son.
Frat Guy: Shower that, bitch.
[Evan visits Kayleigh, who has now become a prostitute]
Kayleigh: So, how's tricks? Sorry, occupational humor.
Evan: I got it.
Kayleigh: Hurry up, I want a quickie before school!
[in the reality where Kayleigh is with Lenny]
Evan: So, do you think it might have worked?
Kayleigh: Yeah... But that's not how things wound up... I'm with Lenny, Lenny is your friend... and that's where it ends.
Evan: Well... Would it make a difference if I told you that no one could possibly ever love anyone as much as I love you?
[Kayleigh looks sympathetic about Evan's feelings]
Evan: ...I'm not saying that, I am just saying it like if you were a girl, would that be something you would want to hear?
Dr. Redfield: There are no journals.
Evan: Yeah, you remember me? We had a nice chat once when I was seven...
Evan: Where's Kayleigh?
Lenny: Who's Kayleigh?
[Evan looks confused]
Lenny: You want me to take you to the doctor?
Evan: No, I think everything's gonna be all right this time.
[time traveling Evan at age 7 threatens George Miller with a lighted stick of dynamite]
Mr. George Miller: Evan! Put that out, or you'll blow off both your hands!
Evan at 7: Been there, done that.
Kayleigh: Nothing's all better, okay? Nothing ever gets better!
[last lines]
[director's cut]
Tommy: True happiness can only be achieved through sacrifice, like the sacrifices our parents have made for us to be here today.
Kayleigh: Woo-hoo! Great, Tommy!
[last lines]
[theatrical version]
Evan: I'm just running a little late. Yeah, I had to finish up with the patients. Well, get the soup or something. All right. Love you, mom. Bye-bye.
Evan: Shit, no arms.
Lenny at 13: [after Tommy gives Lenny the block buster] Wait a minute, I'm not touching this thing. Look how small the fuse is. I'll get busted.
Evan Treborn at 13: [puts a cigarette on the block buster] Here. That should give you two minutes.
Lenny at 13: [in a fake voice] Gee, thanks, friend.
Evan: Hey Thumper, you got the time?
Thumper: Whatsa matter, you lost your Rolex? Fuck you frat-boy!
Mr. George Miller: Take off your clothes, just like we do at bath time. You too, Evan.
Evan: When we were kids, your dad was making a movie about "Robin Hood" or something...
Kayleigh Miller: What do you want to know, Evan?
Evan: Is... Did he... What happened in the basement?
Kayleigh Miller: Look, it was a long time ago. Is that why you came all the way back here? To ask a lot of stupid questions about "Robin Hood"?
Evan: No, I... I just think something really bad might've happened.
Kayleigh Miller: Is there a point to any of this?
Evan: Look... whatever happened, it wasn't our fault, we were kids. I mean, there is nothing that we could do to have deserved or could've done...
Kayleigh Miller: Just shut up, Evan, you're wasting your breath.
Evan: You can't hate yourself because your dad's a twisted freak.
Kayleigh Miller: Who are you trying to convince, Evan? You come all the way back here to stir up my shit just because you have a bad memory? What? Do you want me to just cry on your shoulder and tell you everything's all better now? Well fuck you, Evan. Nothing's all better, okay? Nothing ever gets better. You know, if I was so wonderful Evan, why didn't you call me? Why did you just leave me here to rot?

With more standard equipment than rival vans, the Kia Sedona makes a strong appeal to value for the money. The Sedona comes in several thousand dollars cheaper than a similarly equipped Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna and includes a more powerful engine. The Sedona is, like many in the minivan segment, safety-conscious; it comes with a full roster of safety equipment and top crash-test scores as well as being named a Top Safety Pick by the IIHS.
The Kia Sedona got a new engine and transmission for 2011, a 271 horsepower 3.5L V6 mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission as well as some freshened styling.
The 2011 Kia Sedona is powered by a 271-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sportmatic manual control.

April 19, 2013 Pebble HuntingThe Search for the Missing StealsThere was a time when goliaths roamed the Earth. Runs were plentiful, and with few natural enemies, these behemoths could grow larger and larger, more and more sedentary. They had no need to run, so they lumbered about, leisurely returning home unmolested by predator or foe. But the metaphor could not last forever. Eventually, offense in baseball went back down to more typical levels, and the game once again welcomed back the singles hitter, the glove man, the productive out. And, as runs went down, stolen bases went up. I gave the following graph, showing leaguewide scoring and stolen base totals by year, a pun title. That's the narrative, and it's a good one. No problems with that narrative. Offense goes down, stolen bases go up. With runs at a premium, home runs less available, and basestealers getting better and better at avoiding caught stealings, the small-ball tactic takes on great significance. What's weird is that 2013 has disrupted the narrative, so far at least, and it's not easy to say why. Here's the same chart above, but with runs and stolen bases (prorated across a full season) added for 2013:

Due to the closure of Habplus which was our main source of listeners PlusFM has now closed. While we may return in future with other projects now is not the time for us to be managing a radio website. We hope to introduce PlusFM (or another radio service) into our products in future. We appreciate all the listeners and DJ's we had throughout the time being on air.
We have moved onto a Minecraft server which you can come play and check out by clicking here
. I encourage you to give it a go and meet up with some friends who were on Habplus/PlusFM on the Minecraft server.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Stephen J. Blank, Dr. William T. Johnsen, Dr. Earl H. Tilford Jr..
+[hobson's choice] +[hobsinian] +[BALKANS] +[Blank] +[Johnsen] +[Tilford]
At this writing, the strategic balance may have shifted in the ongoing war in the former Yugoslavia, and the region could be on the verge of a settlement. But, the "window of opportunity" may be fleeting, and the failures and frustrations of the past four years temper any optimism that conflict in the former Yugoslavia will end quickly or completely. If this opening passes without an end to the fighting, the United States may have to reassess its fundamental policy objectives and the ways and means to achieve them if peace is to be effected in the Balkans. The intent of this report, therefore, is to analyze and assess existing policies, to identify any conflicts or contradictions that may stymie U.S. efforts to bring about a peaceful resolution of the crisis, and to offer potential solutions. The report does not offer an ambitious criticism of policy or an "expert's" solution to an intractable problem. Its more modest goal is to examine current policy within a context that fits Bosnia into the larger pattern of U.S. interests and policy. In this manner, the report offers a broader framework for the strategic decisions that may face the United States in the not so distant future.

Web stats auditor comScore has introduced a new 'visits' metric to augment its 'page views' tracking after conceding its previous system unfairly represented Yahoo!
Yahoo! protested in December after comScore data placed it behind MySpace for pages viewed. Yahoo!'s increasing use of AJAX means users create fewer page views because tasks can be completed without reloading pages.

A lot of talk about Web 2.0 is focusing on the brilliance of AJAX. While AJAX looks good on a website and provides sexy functionality, the real value in Web 2.0 for the marketer is in mash ups. I've got a story to prove it.

The web's success as a direct response medium has made its failure to attract brand advertising even more apparent. However, as the main hurdles are overcome all of that could change for Web 2.0 enabled sites in 2007.

This week's news that Myspace has overtaken Yahoo! in terms of page views seems to have kicked off a much-needed debate about how sites' popularity is measured.
Research, released by comScore on Tuesday, found the social networking site had 0.6bn more page views than Yahoo! in November – a boost to Fox Interactive Media in its battle with the web giant for ad dollars.

E-consultancy has doubled in size over the past year, but with that has come new challenges - let's just say we have a hefty development to-do list.
With that in mind we're on the lookout for a world class Head of Website Development. Somebody with very strong technical / development skills, as well as an understanding of how our plans fit in with business and marketing goals.
More details after the jump...

A new kind of image search is being launched today by Riya, which will allow users to search for images using both text and images as queries.
Other image searches rely on text queries, which depend on the data attached to the image file. This is not necessarily a reliable way to search, which is where Like.com comes in.
And boy, the technology is stunning...

Advances in interface design associated with Web 2.0 will make the page impression even less meaningful than it already is. The time has come for internet to be measured more like broadcast media than press.

Yahoo's decision to open up its email API is great news for web mail users and is a great example of what Web 2.0 is about. How long will it be before a major retailer like Tesco follows suit?

There continues to be a tension between web design that is "highly-designed" and web design that is accessible and search engine friendly. The former sites tend to be Flash only or rely heavily on DHTML.
So it is possible for a site to be beautiful but accessible?

Over at Ajaxian yesterday, Michael Mahemoff gives a heads up on the latest Web 2.0 move by MSN, which sees them offer pretty much as yet unheard of Ajax driven user features for their image search.

To the reader who criticized the gun-toters, why do you blame everyone who has a gun for what criminals do? Thinking like that shows you don't know what you're talking about.

Again this year, somebody's trying to raise the seatbelt law to primary. Tell your senators you do not want this to happen.
To the person that said all the president does is lie, you can tell by your rant that you are not smart enough to find the truth on your own and you are so full of hate and racism you wouldn't believe it anyway. You are just one of the idiots that repeats the Fox News garbage.
Recently a caller stated that Kanawha County would like to have Mickey Blackwell, superintendent of schools in Roane County, back in Kanawha County schools, and we in Roane County would like to comply, with bells and whistles.
Most places you work you are required to take a drug test for the purpose of safety. Do they require you to take a drug test and continue to take one to have a concealed weapons permit?
On Judgment Day, the U.S. Supreme Court justices, mainly Justice Alito, will have to deal with the fact that they believe that corporations are people. Corporations are not human beings.
Just what does a car salesman look like? I sell cars and make well over $100,000 annually. I dress in the finest and also have a degree. I tithe my church, as all Christians should. So where do you shop for your automobiles? If you are so dissatisfied with their appearance, maybe you need to shop for your cars at a different dealership.
Mr. Kessler, don't raise our taxes. Just cut the wasteful means of the state road workers and you will save money. How often do you see a state road truck running in the parking lot of a Walmart or Go-Mart while the worker shops for themselves?
Let me see, how much do you think a working person would have to earn to maintain the lifestyle of the "takers"? Include Medicaid, cash welfare benefits, food stamps, SSI (where unwarranted), free school lunches, free tutoring, child care, Section 8 housing, etc. Think these takers are a major part of the 47 percent that won the last election?
Can the citizens of West Virginia join the lawsuit filed by Jorea Marple? The citizens of this state were harmed by her thoughtless and reckless firing, and I think the interested parties should sign on to that suit.
Patrick Morrisey just does whatever he wants to do. They're trying to tell me they could not find one person in West Virginia that could have been his protégé? But, no, he goes out of state to get someone.

In which Shakespear's play does the line "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse" appear?
2 Answers | add yours
Best answer as selected by question asker.
One of Shakespeare's best known lines. The quotation is sometimes now repeated ironically when someone is is need of some unimportant item.
From Shakespeare's Richard III, 1594:
Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue!
The king enacts more wonders than a man,
Daring an opposite to every danger:
His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.:)

The looks here made the cut, either because they're just too gorgeous to pass up or too wild to forget. Ready to get a little crazy/beautiful? Then just click through. Source: WireImage Georges Hobeika What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hobeika's models were some of my favorites, all sporting a gorgeous black bob with perfect bangs, a lightly lined eye, and to-die-for matte red lips. Just too pretty. Source: WireImage 1 / 15 Givenchy What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I don't think any of us are going to go out with this much greasepain on our lids, but there's something amazing and romantic about the glittering blue-black eye and red lip. Source: WireImage 2 / 15 Christophe Josse What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The look at Josse was amazing — glimmering light gold shadow, bright, gorgeous peach blush and lip gloss, and hair that was kept natural. Pretty sure this one is going to graduate off the runway and into a wider trend. Source: WireImage 3 / 15 Stephane Rolland What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Just so lovely at Rolland. He made the super smudgy smoky eye and patent red lip look elegant instead of trashy without losing any of the combination's dramatic appeal. Source: WireImage 4 / 15 Alexis Mabille What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The hair may not have been many people's favorite, but the makeup at the Alexis Mabille show was really beautiful and fresh, especially this pink lipstick. Source: WireImage 6 / 15 Chanel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's hard not to love the heart-shaped hair at Chanel, especially so close to Valentine's. Source: WWD 6 / 15 Dior What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The bouffanted vamps at Dior were otherworldly and bizarre but kind of awesome. Source: WireImage 7 / 15 Giorgio Armani What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The colors at Armani were delicate and iridescent to match the lunar theme of the show, but this lilac-white eye and petal pink lipstick would be gorgeous on the street as well. Also, this tight-sided, fluffy-topped updo was everywhere in Paris, so look for it on celebrities soon. Source: WireImage 8 / 15 Josephus Thimister What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Thimister's models looked like post-apocalyptic porcelain dolls. Source: Getty 9 / 15 Jean Paul Gaultier What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gaultier's known for his wild show looks, and he definitely didn't disappoint this year, with rainforest plants in his models' hair, wired braids that formed triangular fans across their heads, and some wickedly rhinestoned eye makeup. Source: WireImage 11 / 15 Jean Paul Gaultier 2 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I had to include this other look from the Gaultier show because of the absolutely absurd face-piece and the gorgeous rainbow eye shadow. Source: WireImage 11 / 15 Elie Saab What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Saab was so elegant. Touches like the low placement of braids and very pale lips gave us a hint about where hair and makeup may be heading next season. Source: WireImage 12 / 15 Anne Valerie Hash What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Cabaret-ready glossy eye and iridescent orange-red lip at Anne Valerie Hash are already showing up on celebrities like Melanie Laurent and Ciara.

Mott beltI have owned a cub with flail mower that I have used every mowing season for around 30 years. I used Gates B144 belts until about 8 years ago when I started having problems with early failures. I finally ordered one from Flailmaser, which lasted 5 or 6 years before failing. I then bought one from NAPA which is made by Gates, but comes from Mexico. It lasted about 3 years, which was not too bad considering it only cost half as much as the Flail master belt did. To replace it I ordered a Gates (made in USA) from the local Carquest. It failed in less than an hour of mowing. When I took it back they called the distributor and he sent them a 6800BR belt, which is part of the Bladerunner series made by Gates for use on mowers. The distributor said it would withstand the twisiting and bending of going around the vertical I'dler pulleys better than the B144. It has been raining since I it it on, so I have not tried it yet, but will keep you posted.

Compassion Is a Skill to Be Developed Through Practice
by Krista Tippett, host
Matthieu Ricard looks on as Dilgo Khyentse Yangsi Rinpoche makes a point to children in Vancouver, Canada. (photo: Linda Lane/Flickr, cc by-nc-sa 2.0)
The title we've given this week's show, "The 'Happiest' Man in the World," is slightly tongue-in-cheek. It appeared in a British newspaper after the publication of scientific study results on Matthieu Ricard's brain. He dismisses this label and has issued many good-natured disclaimers. We've revived it here, however, because of the lovely way in which Matthieu Ricard fills that phrase with a whole new range of savvy, satisfying meaning.
I certainly found myself identifying with Ricard's descriptions, in his own writing, of his youthful, worldly-wise dismissal of "happiness" as a goal. I too was dismissive, well into adulthood, of the very word "happiness" and its overwhelming associations with the dream-come-true state that ends movies, for example, or the happiness as "having it all" American way.
But Matthieu Ricard puts words to what I've learned as I've grown older. He accomplishes that as much with his ideas as with his presence. He is a slightly incongruous yet wholly comfortable Frenchman swathed in the lavish gold and red of Tibetan monastic robes, with practical shoes beneath. He is at once sophisticated and mischievous, intellectual and childlike — something, that is, like his teacher the Dalai Lama. It was a privilege to experience them both at a series of gatherings in Vancouver, British Columbia, where they were in conversation with Nobel laureates, scientists, social activists, and educators. We converted a tenth-floor suite at the Shangri-La Hotel, aptly named and somewhat surreal, into a production suite for this interview, which you can view as well as hear on our site.
I am fascinated by the way in which science is interwoven with Matthieu Ricard's life story as well as his current work with the Dalai Lama and his very definition of the spiritual quest. He is one of those so-called "Olympic meditators" — people who have meditated tens of thousands of hours and whose brains have been studied and yielded important new insights into something called neuroplasticity — the human brain's capacity to alter across the life span. This is a fairly recent and fairly dramatic — and not uncontroversial — discovery that came about as a result of research involving the Mind and Life Institute — a fascinating dialogue with scientists from many disciplines that the Dalai Lama has been hosting for many years.
Matthieu Ricard actually began his life as a molecular biologist, working with a Nobel Prize-winning biologist at the prestigious Pasteur Institute in Paris. His decision to leave France for a Buddhist monastic path greatly perplexed his father, Jean-François Revel, a philosopher who was a pillar of French intellectual life. But as he describes in a literary dialogue with his father that was published as The Monk and the Philosopher, Tibetan Buddhism was less of a departure in his mind than in his father's.
He had become drawn to the spiritual masters, who would later become his teachers and eventually his peers, leading lives of integrity. And there was a very personal, full-circle integrity in his love of the natural world that had manifest itself in part in biological research — and in his appreciation for Buddhist spirituality as a life shaped by what he describes as "contemplative science." I am utterly fascinated by the echoes between science and spirituality that Matthieu Ricard has continued to pursue and that we discuss together in this show.
Will neuroscience one day be able to not merely describe the movement of neurons and brain chemistry but add its own vocabulary to the meaning and nature of human consciousness, as related to or distinct from the brain? And how can we not be fascinated by the evocative echoes between the way quantum physicists have come to describe energy and matter and the way Buddhist philosophy has always described the interconnectedness and impermanence of human experience and all of life? Our understanding of the intersection of mind, life, body, and however you want to define the human spirit continues to unfold and develop, and is one of the most intriguing frontiers of this century.
Krista's TED Talk at the United Nations and the Charter for Compassion (Live Video)
by Trent Gilliss, senior editor
when: Thursday, November 18th, 2010
time: 11:00 a.m. ET
where: United Nations (New York, New York)
Well, we're live streaming another event, and this one should be a must-see simply because of the line-up of speakers, including Karen Armstrong and Krista. Oh, and it's a TED event, which almost always means great speakers! The topic? Creating a compassionate world.
Words matter. They shape the way we see ourselves, interpret the world, and treat others. And as essential as compassion is across our traditions, as vivid as many of us know it to be in particular lives, the word "compassion" is a problem — watered down in culture, suspect in the field of journalism, too safe and too sweet for the power that the 21st century needs unleashed in this virtue. Krista will name that — break "compassion" open into its kindred and component qualities and describe its universe of attendant virtues. In ideas and images drawn from her conversation partners across the years, she will suggest an expanded definition of "compassion" as vital, visible, and embodied.
Also watch talks on compassion from Karen Armstrong, Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell, Matthieu Ricard, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, Chade-Meng Tan, and Fred Luskin.
Please join us here or on our live events page and watch our stream from the United Nations. We'll continue to send real-time updates when the stream goes live on our Facebook page and through our Twitter stream. Keep an eye out!
Einstein Sleuthing
by Nancy Rosenbaum, associate producer
I stumbled upon a perplexing puzzle as we were fine-tuning our upcoming show with Buddhist teacher and author Matthieu Ricard. Krista had included a quote in the script by Albert Einstein that needed to be fact checked. This seemed pretty straightforward…at first.
Albert Einstein is one of those famous people who gets quoted a lot, sometimes inaccurately. My colleagues at SOF were already familiar with this from producing two companion programs about Einstein back in 2007.
Following is the quote from Einstein as it appears in The Quantum and the Lotus, a book Matthieu Ricard wrote together with astrophysicist Trinh Xuan Thuan:
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
Plug this quote into Google and you get hits galore, including references to this 1972 New York Times article. But if you look at the typed version at the beginning of this post, you'll notice some differences — specifically the last two sentences. So where did the quote come from exactly, and in what context did Einstein originally write or say these words?
My search led me to Dear Professor Einstein, a collection of Einstein's correspondence that features a version of the quote in question, which closely matches the copy we obtained from the Albert Einstein Archives at Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Through Facebook, I contacted the book's editor, Alice Calaprice, who explained that Einstein had penned his famous words in 1950 to Robert S. Marcus, a man who was distraught over the death of his young son from polio. Calaprice concurred that people often misquote Einstein — and that primary sources are the key to setting the record straight. "When we don't have originals to prove otherwise," wrote Calaprice, "falsehoods are sometimes inadvertently repeated even by scholars."
To that end, Barbara Wolff, an archivist at the Albert Einstein Archives, sent us the actual image of the handwritten versions of Einstein's letter in German and English below. I wonder about who translated Einstein's words and whether some meaning may have gotten lost.
As I've resurfaced from all this Einstein sleuthing, I've been pondering my responsibility as producer to verify the quote's accuracy. But, as I look at Einstein's handwritten letter with its scrawls and cross outs, I'm reminded that language and ideas are not fixed like cement. Still, it's my job to get it right.
What's funny is that after all this effort, we debated ditching the quote altogether. Matthieu Ricard is such a rich voice, did we really need to bring Einstein into the conversation? In the end though, we corrected the quote, and kept Einstein, "sounding more than a little bit Buddhist," as Krista put it, in the final script read.
Special thanks to Barbara Wolff and the Albert Einstein Archives at Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, which holds copyright for these archival materials.
The Impressionable Faces of Buddhist Silence
by Trent Gilliss, online editor
Tomorrow, our latest production with Matthieu Ricard will be released via our podcast. His journey to the Himalayas and studying under some of the great Tibetan Buddhist monks and the current Dalai Lama was inspired by the films of Arnaud Desjardins.
What struck him and became the catalyst for his lifelong journey, as he told Krista in a hotel room in Vancouver, was a particular point in one of these documentaries when he saw "a series of faces, of contemplatives … in silence" — of all shapes and sizes.
I wanted to see those faces. The video above is excerpted from the 1966 film, Le Message des Tibétains: Le Tantrisme (deuxième partie). For the quick skinny on the portrait sequence Ricard mentions, skip to 50:05 in the clip.
Ricard describes the influence of Desjardins's films in greater depth in The Monk and the Philosopher, a dialogue between him and his father, Jean-François Revel, a French intellectual who is well-known for his challenging critiques of Communism and Christianity:
Matthieu Ricard: …what triggered my interest in Buddhism was in 1966…
Jean-François Revel: You would have been twenty then.
M.R.: I was still at university, and just about to go to the Institut Pasteur, when I saw some films made by a friend, Arnaud Desjardins, as they were being edited. They were about the great Tibetan lamas who had fled the Chinese invasion and taken refuge on the souther side of the Himalayas, from Kashmir to Bhutan. Arnaud had spent several months on two trips with an excellent guide and interpreter, filming these masters at close quarters. The films were very striking. Around the same time, another friend, Dr. Leboyer, came back from Darjeeling where he'd met some of the same lamas. I'd just finished a course and had the chance of taking a six-month break before starting my research work. It was the time of the hippies, who'd set out to India overland hitchhiking or in a Citroen deux-chevaux, through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. I was also drawn to the martial arts and had thought of going to Japan. But the sight of the pictures brought back by Arnaud and Frederick Leboyer, what they told me and their descriptions of their encounters there, all helped me make up my mind to head for the Himalayas rather than anywhere else.
J.F.R: So it was Arnaud Desjardins's film that started it all off.
M.R.: There were several films, The Message of the Tibetans and Himalaya, Land of Serenity (which included The Children of Wisdom and The Lake of the Yogis), four hours in all. They include long sequences of the great Buddhist teachers who'd just arrived from Tibet — what they looked like, how they spoke, what they taught. The films gave a very alive and inspiring account of what it was like.
J.F.R.: You said they left a strong impression on you, personally. Why?
M.R.: I had the impression of seeing living beings who were the very image of what they taught. They had such a striking and remarkable feeling about them. I couldn't quite hit on the explicit reasons why, but what struck me most was that they matched the ideal of sainthood, the perfect being, the sage — a kind of person hardly to be found nowadays in the West. It was the image I had of St. Francis of Assisi, or the great wise men of ancient times, but which for me had become figures of the distant past. You can't go meet Socrates, listen to Plato debating, or sit at St. Francis' feet. Yet suddenly, here were beings who seemed to be living examples of wisdom. I said to myself, 'If it's possible to reach perfection as a human being, that must be it.'

You might wish your eyes popped as much as your best friend's when she wears that shimmery bronze eyeshadow, but you find it makes your face look dull. Many makeup palettes are designed with certain skin tones in mind, but there are some hot trends this season that look fantastic on all of us. Purple eyeshadow Purple is often touted as one of the best types of eyeshadow for green eyes, but the vibrant grape-popsicle hue that is trendy this season works on all girls. Whether your skin is alabaster or ebony, your eyes icy blue or deep chestnut, you can wear this regal hue. Make sure you choose a perfectly balanced purple - just enough red and blue so it doesn't have too much of an eggplant or indigo look, Allure Magazine recommends. Peach blush Blush is one of those cosmetics that you kind of have to choose based on your skin tone, but peach is a hue that works for everyone. It complements warm skin tones and gives a nice glow to cooler toned skin. If your skin is super light, apply this blush to the apples of your cheeks. If you have dark skin, wear it up on your cheekbones like a highlighter, the magazine recommends.

"Gothic tale, psychological study, puzzle narrative…This is gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and senses."—The Seattle Times
An upper-class woman recovering from a suicide attempt, Margaret Prior has begun visiting the women's ward of Millbank prison, Victorian London's grimmest jail, as part of her rehabilitative charity work. Amongst Millbank's murderers and common thieves, Margaret finds herself increasingly fascinated by on apparently innocent inmate, the enigmatic spiritualist Selina Dawes. Selina was imprisoned after a séance she was conducting went horribly awry, leaving an elderly matron dead and a young woman deeply disturbed. Although initially skeptical of Selina's gifts, Margaret is soon drawn into a twilight world of ghosts and shadows, unruly spirits and unseemly passions, until she is at last driven to concoct a desperate plot to secure Selina's freedom, and her own.
As in her noteworthy deput, Tipping the Velvet, Sarah Waters brilliantly evokes the sights and smells of a moody and beguiling nineteenth-century London, and proves herself yet again a storyteller, in the words of the New York Times Book Review, of "startling power."
About the Author
Sarah Waters is the author of Tipping the Velvet, a New York Times Notable Book; Affinity, which won her the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award; Fingersmith and The Night Watch, both of which were shortlisted for both the Orange Prize and the Man Booker Prize; and The Little Stranger, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award and a New York Times Notable Book. She has also been named one of Granta's best young British novelists. She lives in London.
Praise for Affinity…
"Unfolds sinuously and ominously…a powerful plot-twister…a truly suspenseful tale of terror; and a piece of elegant, thinly veiled erotica. Like a Ouija board, Affinity offers different messages to different readers, scaring the shrouds off everyone in the process."
—USA Today
"[Waters] displays her incredible talent for the Gothic historical novel in this splendid book about a Victorian women's prison and the affair there between an inmate and a 'lady visitor.'"
—San Francisco Chronicle
"Gothic tale, psychological study, puzzle narrative…superbly suspenseful…This is gripping, astute fiction that feeds the mind and senses."
—The Seattle Times

Study Skills for the Weary!
Brittany LaCouture, Peer Tutor
It's happened to us all. We study all day and all night for an exam. We know the material; we've read it over and over. Yet, when the exam gets placed in front of us, all that information has gone MIA, and what's left to replace it is frustration. Luckily, there are ways of preventing this.
Regardless of who you are or what subjects you are studying, there are several basic steps that you can take to make the most of your time spent studying. Our brains are very complex, and they are constantly at work. By using some principles of psychology, we can help our brains remember the important information we are studying. Next time you have a big exam, remember to get started early and Study Seven S's.
Steps to improve retention while studying: Study Seven S's.
1. STOP. Relax and focus. Keeping your brain focused on only one subject at a time may help increase the time your brain has to transfer learned information from the short term to long term memory.
2. SPLIT your work load. Split chapters into smaller, more manageable sections.
3. SEPARATE. Study sections separately, at different times, over and over again, adding a new group with each session.
4. SIMPLIFY. Use mnemonics to remember large lists of more than 5-7 words (such as Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally).
5. SKETCH a mental picture. Use imagery to help remember complex ideas. Mental pictures, real or made-up, can help give meaning and function to abstract ideas.
6. SAY IT. Repeat information over and over again until it has become second nature, then say it some more. Give your brain plenty of time and opportunity to move knowledge from short to long term memory.
7. SLEEP. Sleeping and caring for your mind and body makes neurological functioning easier. Sleeping gives your brain opportunity to encode all the information you have learned throughout the day. Studying for a few hours and getting a good night's rest is far more productive than pulling an all-nighter.
