Serviceability Report: SaturnPosted 12/13/2006By Craig Van Batenburg I normally report on a model that has been around awhile and how it compares to a new release of the same car. This time we will take a look at an entire division, General Motors Corp.'s Saturn. The fact that it now has a hybrid is worthy of special attention. Does Saturn do it better than most? GM launched its Saturn Division in January 1985 in Spring Hill, Tenn., to compete and hopefully recapture lost market share taken away mostly by Honda and Toyota. The first 1991 Saturn was shipped to a California dealership Oct. 25, 1990. It was clear that GM recognized that it needed to fight off the threat to its small-car market. At the same time, large SUVs were gaining market share. Honda had nothing to offer, and Toyota was a small player, so GM was safe there. The sales part of Saturn was done with flair and was very well received. Saturn was a hit, and all looked good for GM at the time. GM was happy that it had a new company, Saturn, to take over the small-car segment. In 1999, Saturn added a second vehicle line: the midsize L-Series sedan and wagon, which were built in Wilmington, Del. A third vehicle, the Vue sports utility vehicle, began production in Spring Hill in 2001. Later on, GM included a high-tech V6 engine supplied by Honda in the Vue as well. The Sky is its latest offering. Any tech who has been working on Saturns knows all about head gasket issues, blown engines and the list of problems that have surfaced over the years. But service has never been a big issue as four cylinder cars lend themselves to quick repairs at lower costs than most V6 or V8 engines. Automatic transmissions were issues as they never seem to shift as well as customers expected. Saturns became oil burners at relatively young ages. In general, most techs I spoke to thought Saturns were some of the best GM products. Technicians and shop owners often steer customers away from problem-oriented cars; clearly Saturn is not on that list. Although it never came to pass that Saturn took back the small-car market from the two major Japanese OEMs, it still stayed in business. Was this a result of good design, nationalistic pride in buying American, or some other reason? A 1999 Saturn SL Series 1.9L is a typical car of Saturn descent. According to Identifix, occasional problems with this vehicle are failures of the cylinder head and the intake manifold gasket (1.9L VIN 8 SOHC engine only), the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Problems with the CKP sensor can prevent the engine from starting. Another occasional problem with this vehicle is the failure of the rear disc brake caliper sliders as well as the failure of the horn and the fuse for the right headlight. The fuse will blow, allowing the headlights to stay on or the right headlight may be inoperative. The wiring near the right headlamp usually has rubbed through and either is grounding out or has broken. Add to the list that the cylinder head will crack (only on single cam engines), allowing engine oil and coolant to intermix. After pressure testing the cooling system, inspect for cracks near the left end (driver's side) of the cylinder head near the cam journal. If a crack or leak is found, clean the cooling system, replace all of the hoses and then replace the cylinder head. With all these problems, doesn't it make it a service issue? Not unless it is difficult to repair but customer satisfaction may be stretched if it is one thing after another. Saturn made headlines just a couple of months ago. If an automaker is not in the hybrid business, then many feel it either missed the boat or its engineers don't have the goods. GM made a half-hearted attempt with a limited production, full-size pickup micro hybrid in 2004. Saturn was given the job of taking hybrids mainstream with the Saturn Vue Green Line, the first of the automaker's new line of "affordable" hybrid systems. The new Vue hybrid doesn't offer the extreme mileage of strong hybrids, like the Toyota Prius and Honda Civic hybrid, but it does compete with other compact SUVs - like the Ford Escape hybrid (also a strong hybrid design, much like the Prius). GM says the most important thing for buyers will be affordability; the Vue Green Line starts at $22,370 and gets 27/32 mpg city/highway. Compare that to the Escape hybrid's sticker price of $25,655 and 36/31 gas mileage. I had a drive at the International Motor Press Association's Test Days and came away agreeing with GM that cost is a factor. GM/Saturn has done a good job modifying the existing SUV Vue so that GM buyers can get a feel for some of what hybrids do well. This version has a start/stop system with lower voltages than the more robust hybrids from the other OEMs. It is a start and hopefully Saturn will get its fair share of the hybrid market. The technology used in the Vue starts with a standard gasoline-powered 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a larger and powerful alternator (SAE has asked us for 10 years to call it a generator but it is an uphill climb!). This 42/36 volt, three-phase, AC-powered alternator is referred to as belt/alternator/ starter (BAS). Combined, it produces 170 horsepower and 167 pounds-feet of torque. A 12-volt traditional starter does the initial start-up when the internal combustion engine (ICE) is cold. But after that, the Vue uses the BAS system to take over that job so at most stops the ICE never idles. The BAS system also adds a bit of torque on acceleration, but it is limited by the belt drive. Servicing this hybrid will seem easy compared to strong hybrids as more are entering our service bays every day. (See the June 2005 issue of AutoInc. for a previous article on hybrid serviceability.) How does Saturn stack up with the techs who work on them? Most are happy that GM started a new division. No one is whining or excited either. It is just a decent brand that serves those who want reliable transportation at a reasonable cost. The Saturn Sky is a major exception in terms of service and really doesn't fit the lineup, as it is totally impractical but lots of fun. Ups - Quality is better and there are fewer problems. Most techs don't shy away from this brand. Downs - Owners don't take the preventive maintenance seriously and therefore customer relations can be difficult when problems arise. Overall rating: For the money it is not a bad choice. The ease of service is great, mostly due to
simple designs, four cylinder engines, chain cam drive, and lots of room under the hood. Saturn still needs to improve quality. With the price of gas, look for more Saturns coming in for
service. Life could be a lot worse, so count your blessings.

The baccalaureate program offers courses that prepare the student to become a professional nurse. Three distinct categories of students are eligible for admission: The "basic/trimester student" who enters the University without having completed a first level nursing program, the "registered nurse student," who having completed a course of study at the first level, desires further study to expand her or his nursing capabilities to the BSN professional level and the Entry Level MSN student, who having completed a baccalaureate degree in another field, chooses to obtain both a BSN and MSN degree in a period of 36 months.
Though each category of student enters at different levels, the terminal objectives of the nursing program are the same for all groups. The "basic student" and the Entry Level BSN/MSN student upon completion of specific courses are eligible to take the examination for licensure to practice as a registered nurse. All graduates are recommended for certification as a public health nurse in the State of California. The program is accredited by the California State Board of Registered Nursing, and the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 1 Dupont Circle, NW, Suite 530, Washington, DC 20036-1120, phone: 202-887-6791).
The purpose of the bachelor of science program in nursing is to prepare graduates to function as professional nurses in a variety of settings. Graduates are expected to have acquired foundations for continuing professional development.
The curriculum is formulated to help the student develop understanding of self and others, stimulate intellectual curiosity and to develop an ability to work with colleagues to identify and resolve the health problems of individuals and families in a changing society. The professional nurse, while able to assess and intervene where health deviations exist, is committed to the role of maintaining health and preventing illness in self and others.
Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing (BSN), the graduate will have the following competencies:

Call quality and signal strenth are not very good on the Fascinate or any other Galaxy S device really. Two things Samsung is infamous for is weak radios and slow updates. If call quality and reception is important to you than you should have stayed with the Droid X. Motorola has its shortcomings as well (locked bootloader comes to mind) but they are known for putting serious r&d into its radios for great reception and call quality.
I concur as well. I've considered moving too a different device because samsung and verizon have not offered support for the device the way other providers and manufacturers have. I'm not sureidb any better off with another device when it comes to battery life however.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using DroidForums App
Well I expect every device has it's pros and cons. The last place I lived signal strength mattered alot. Where I live now the Samsung Fascinate is great. The pros outweigh the cons. The droidx was my second choice though.

Yep, one of the reasons I switched from a Fascinate to the DX.
There is a DroidX and Fascinate in my household, and they both seem to get the same signal strength in the same locations. I have put them side by side and checked the signal strength numbers in the settings, and they are almost exactly the same (within 1 or 2 dBm). With the latest updates, the Fascinate signal strength is more precise, but still shows the same range as the DroidX. However, the DroidX usually has one more visible bar in the status bar than the fascinate, so this could cause confusion.
As far as call quality, the phones are again the same. I might give a slight edge to the Fascinate, but that could also be because it's my phone. However, the DroidX has a clear advantage over the Fascinate in voice quality when using the speakerphone.
* * * This is an entirely unscientific study with only two handsets as sample groups, and should be combined with other small unscientific studies to create a properly valid result. In other words... Your Mileage May Vary! * * *

Just 35 years ago, a little movie about a down on his luck boxer who turns his fortunes around thanks to pluck, grit and heart came out of nowhere to become one of the most beloved films of all time. But would "Rocky" has spawned all those sequels if it had been about a robot boxer instead? When director Shawn Levy's Real Steel opened last October, it surprised quite a few people. For one, the so-called "robot boxing movie" packed a whole lot of heart. While some may have been expecting wall-to-wall robot fights, they soon found out that buried beneath this sci-fi adventure was an emotional father-son story. And once again, a sequel to the big hit Real Steel is In production as we speak.
Real Steel 2
In the sequel, we explore the origin story of Atom and we begin to question, "Is there something special to this robot, and if so, why?" It's still in the future, it's still linear. It's the next chapter. It's the fallout of the Zeus vs. Atom fight, and it's the fallout of what happens with the kid's custody (which technically is Aunt Debra's). It's not an origin story, but at one point in the movie Charlie needs to research where the hell this robot came from, and has to understand his inner workings more. So, he seeks out Atom's creator. So it's not a flashback, but we learn about the history because we will meet Atom's creator.
It delves into the fallout of the new fame and money that the Kentons are going to have as a result of the Zeus – Atom fight. It also delves into something that was a cool aspect of the movie, which is the class warfare between the underground unsanctioned world of robot boxing and the monetized corporately funded league. The truth is, it's not unlike the way boxing saw its popularity contested with the rise of a more violent, less rule-bound MMA."
So, the underground robots would represent MMA fighters before they usurped boxing?
"Yes. The other thing in the sequel that I'm going to really explore is that the design of the robots is going to be more diverse. Our robots are extremely diverse, but they're all anthropomorphic. They all look and fight more or less like humans, some of them have two heads, and one of them has a club for a right hand, but I think we can really blow out the design of the robots in the sequel — I'm exited about that."
Instead of relying solely on CG for the numerous robot-boxing matches, Levy opted for a nuanced blend of practical effects and cutting-edge motion capture technology. What resulted was some of the most seamlessly blended effects in recent memory. In addition to musing on the hybrid effects approach, the SimulCam technology that made the effects possible, and what sets Real Steel apart from the other VFX nominees.
Talks about the hybrid of practical and computer-generated visual effects. In order to make the seamless blend of the old school approach, they built the actual robots complete with hydraulic remote controls and used the practical robot for every shot that was possible with a real robot. The fighting, dancing, etc. of the robots was done using motion-capture and CG. They blended the old school craftsmanship of great practical effects work done by puppeteers with the outer edge of motion-capture technology to give Real Steel a textural realism.

The Good Stuff?
One of the best things about this movie is the fights. Don't you feel the adrenaline rush of seeing two mech bots fighting each other in a ring. And this movie has delved into the concept of hard work and confidence in the abilities of the mech rather than technology-based confidence.
Another good thing about the movie is despite being centered on the mech fighting, it also gives emphasis on the father-son relationship that we cling to. It just makes us feel "What if you could be that kid". That would be awesome and interesting.
And lastly, this movie never relied on CG effects and more on the nuanced blend of practical effects and cutting-edge motion capture technology. They actually built robots for the movie and I can't wait to see how Atom looks now.
The Bad Stuff?
I can't iterate enough that this movie is taking too long. I can't wait any longer. I just wish the days would go by faster. Then again, rumors spreading about Hugh Jackman's busy schedule may push through production at a later date than scheduled. Let's just hope it won't push the release at a much later date.

This is a good illustration of an optimized version used by the compiler, albeit without the conversion of a primitive, where you can see the compiler changing things into a StringBuilder in the background: http://caprazzi.net/posts/java-bytecode-string-concatenation-and-stringbuilder/ This java code:
Generates this - see how the two concatenation styles lead to the very same bytecode:
Looking at the example above and how the byte code based on the source code in the given example is generated, you will be able to notice that the compiler has internally transformed the following statement
In other words, the operator |

This is what the Java spec says: |
It doesn't. The compiler does it. Strictly speaking, the compiler overloads the + operator for String operands. |
1) If left hand side operand is String it works as concatenation. 2) If left hand side operand is Integer it works as addition operator |

The Java language provides special support for the string concatenation operator (+) and for conversion of other objects to strings. String concatenation is implemented through the |
The meaning of the Ints, floats and doubles all have different binary representations, and therefore adding two ints is a different operation, in terms of bit manipulation, than adding two floats: For ints you can add bit by bit, carrying a bit and checking for overflow; for floats you must deal with the mantissas and exponents separately. So, in principle, "addition" depends on the nature of the objects being "added". Java defines it for Strings as well as ints and floats (longs, doubles, ...) |

Re: Make up your own saying
I once worked in a fine group of engineers who treated each other as a team of friends, even when times were stressful. We picked up a new guy from another department where a lot of backstabbing went on. One month in, he thought he was in heaven, and really appreciated the comradary and humor we all brought to the table.
During a group meeting he went out of his way to express his thanks for being in our group. I interruped his heart felt oration by saying, "Greg, nothing says thank you like a box of donuts!"
He looked at me a but stunned and perplexed, then everyone errupted in laughter. Next week he brought in 2 boxes of donuts.

Re: Make up your own saying
I don't know if this qualifies as a saying, but here goes:
About twelve years ago, I was attending an HP training seminar. Finally lunch arrived. It was your typical business box sandwich lunch, and bottled and canned beverages, Coca-Cola, Diet Pepsi, Bottled Water and several varieties of Snapple, which at that time was kind of "in." Snapple, of course is known for a wide range of flavors. I think they started the whole Kiwi-Strawberry thing. A couple of the guys ahead of me were grabbing their share, and one asked the other, do you want one of these? And the fellow replied, "No, I don't want a cheese Snapple!" This struck me as very funny, as comcomitant with the Snapple craze has been the tendencies to make "cheese" versions of EVERYTHING. A cheese flaored Snapple was gross, but not beyond imagination.
So, when I want to state that something is too ornamental or overdone, I ask for it, whatever it is ... "with cheese."
When we moved from Connecticut to Rockford, the first sign we saw after crossing the border was the Steak & Shake sign. On the marquee (all mid-western stores have marquees) it stated
I knew we were in the right place.

My new favorite shorts!

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I absolutely love these shorts! They are fantastic! The padding is thick enough to where my behind still felt great even after 3 1/2 hours in the saddle. These are definitely Century Ride approved.
I really like the length of the inseam. I prefer my cycling shorts to hit me mid-thigh which this one does.
The material is thicker than some other shorts I have, so they are not see-through at all. I sometimes worry about the sheer factor on my shorts.
The chamois seemed a bit thick on my first ride, but after riding in them a few times, it seems to conform more to my body.

Here is the color and shape of the chamois for the Sugoi Evolution Women's Shorts
Debbie Conti
Member since
Hi Wally,
In this photo, it almost looks like there's a shininess to it! If that's so, seems that would make for a hot & sticky situation...not good.
Is there another layer of cloth that goes over it; or is this just how it came out looking in the pic.?
Wally Phillips
Member since
Hey Debbie Conti,
The sheen is actually the dye color Sugoi used for that chamois so don't worry as it is a cloth top and not plastic.
great shorts
Member since
I was looking for some summer bike shorts that did not cover all the way to my knee. I am 5'2" and 115 lbs and these are a great shorter option. The chamois provides better padding than most others I have tried- very comfortable.
a bit too much padding
Member since
Though I loved the fit of these shorts around the waist, I felt the padding was a bit much for my liking. I generally do rides of 20-50 miles and I felt like I was wearing a large diaper. I did not try them out on the bike, however, but trying them on alone was enough to make me decide to return them.
Would be great in black
Member since
I ordered these in the gunmetal/black colorway & ended up returning for the regular evolution short in the black with pink. The gunmetal /black colorway had the gunmetal color over te back panels and just disn't look right on my body.
However, the shorts are Great. The pad is amazing in these, and the material has a rip stop-style appearance that acts like a compression short.
great thin shorts

Do these shorts have the pad in them or not? I can't stand typical bike shorts with the pads in them, and I can't tell from the description here if these include the chamois pad or not.

PDUFA V: Testimony to House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Health
February 1, 2012
Chairmen Upton and Pitts, and Ranking Members Waxman and Pallone, it is my privilege to provide testimony before this Subcommittee today. My name is Richard Pops and I am Chairman and CEO of Alkermes. I am here testifying on behalf of the Biotechnology Industry Organization where I serve on BIO's Health Section Governing Board and coordinated BIO's strategic engagement in the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA V) technical discussions with FDA. BIO represents over 1,100 members involved in the research and development of innovative healthcare, agricultural, industrial, and environmental technologies. As an entrepreneur with more than twenty years experience managing biotechnology companies and successfully developing novel therapies for patients, I would like to speak to the positive impact that the PDUFA program has had on patients and medical innovation, and highlight the challenges we seek to address under PDUFA V.
In short, BIO supports quick enactment of the PDUFA V recommendations as we believe they can enhance the drug development and review process through increased transparency and scientific dialogue, advance regulatory science, and strengthen post-market surveillance. Most importantly, from the standpoint of young, innovative companies, our hope is that PDUFA V will provide patients and doctors with earlier access to breakthrough therapies.

NEW YORK (April 16, 2009) - Due to passenger demand megabus.com, the first intercity, express bus service with fares as low as $1, has converted its entire Philadelphia fleet to double-decker touring buses.
"Megabus.com has served more than 163,000 customers to and from Philadelphia since our Northeast launch in May 2008. Due to the popularity of the service, we have converted the entire Philadelphia fleet to the innovative double-decker bus while offering the same great rates," said Dale Moser, president and COO of megabus.com.
The 81-passenger, 13.1 feet high, double-decker buses offer free WiFi, power outlets and DVD video capabilities as well as a panoramic view comfortable reclining seats restroom, safety belts and ADA accessibility.
The double-decker, which is designed with the latest technology available, also provides significant environmental benefits. Each new double-decker bus has the potential to remove 81 automobiles from the highway and is among the most energy and fuel efficient way to travel. According to Moser, the double-decker is 10 times more efficient than a 737 airplane and 25 times more efficient than a single-passenger car per passenger per mile.
Specifically the megabus.com double-decker's fuel consumption per passenger per mile is .002 gallon, a 737 is .02 gallon and a single-passenger car is .05 gallon.
Megabus.com is the first company to use double-decker buses to carry passengers intercity in the United States.

Glial cells have been known to neuroscientists for over a century and they perform numerous essential functions. Now we can add another. In the vertebrate eye, there are "radial glial cells spanning the entire retinal thickness" known as Muller cells. Shaped like an extended funnel, they are "oriented along the direction of light propagation". These cells "provide a low-scattering passage for light from the retinal surface to the photoreceptor cells", thus acting as optical fibres. Their function is to "mediate the image transfer through the vertebrate retina with minimal distortion and low loss".
For years, we have been told by "blind watchmaker" Darwinians that the eye is an example of bad design because light has to pass through the retina to reach the photoreceptor cells. These folk insist that a good Designer wouldn't have wired our retinas the "wrong" way. The response from those who advocate design has been to show that the eye is an example of optimum design: there are good reasons that can be advanced for having an inverted retina. This approach has satisfied many but certainly not all. The "bad design" claim is still widespread.
This new paper has finally nailed the argument: by revealing yet another level of exquisite design. The authors modestly say: "This finding elucidates a fundamental feature of the inverted retina as an optical system". They describe the Muller cells as "ingeniously designed light collectors". ScienceNow says: "For an organ that delivers such crystal-clear images, the eye is curiously designed. Its light-sensing rods and cones lie hidden behind a blanket of nerve cells that carry visual information to the brain. So what prevents those neurons from obscuring our vision? The answer may be surprisingly high-tech." So, in addition to optimal design arguments, we can now appreciate how these distinctive cells address completely the main perception of compromised design. One of the authors is quoted as saying: "Nature is so clever". Surely, it has to be myopic not to discern here the hallmarks of an intelligent designer. This is argument from evidence par excellence!
Muller cells are living optical fibers in the vertebrate retina
Kristian Franze, Jens Grosche, Serguei N. Skatchkov, Stefan Schinkinger, Christian Foja, Detlev Schild, Ortrud Uckermann, Kort Travis, Andreas Reichenbach, and Jochen Guck.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, May 15, 2007, vol. 104, no. 20, 8287-8292. | 10.1073/pnas.0611180104
Abstract: Although biological cells are mostly transparent, they are phase objects that differ in shape and refractive index. Any image that is projected through layers of randomly oriented cells will normally be distorted by refraction, reflection, and scattering. Counterintuitively, the retina of the vertebrate eye is inverted with respect to its optical function and light must pass through several tissue layers before reaching the light-detecting photoreceptor cells. Here we report on the specific optical properties of glial cells present in the retina, which might contribute to optimize this apparently unfavorable situation. We investigated intact retinal tissue and individual Muller cells, which are radial glial cells spanning the entire retinal thickness. Muller cells have an extended funnel shape, a higher refractive index than their surrounding tissue, and are oriented along the direction of light propagation. Transmission and reflection confocal microscopy of retinal tissue in vitro and in vivo showed that these cells provide a low-scattering passage for light from the retinal surface to the photoreceptor cells. Using a modified dual-beam laser trap we could also demonstrate that individual Muller cells act as optical fibers. Furthermore, their parallel array in the retina is reminiscent of fiberoptic plates used for low-distortion image transfer. Thus, Muller cells seem to mediate the image transfer through the vertebrate retina with minimal distortion and low loss. This finding elucidates a fundamental feature of the inverted retina as an optical system and ascribes a new function to glial cells.

PRESIDENT Barack Obama last week deferred a decision on how to respond to Syria's suspected use of chemical weapons against civilians until he can present the issue to Congress.
The president had said previously that use of chemical weapons would be crossing a "red line" that would invoke U.S. action.
Not responding to Syria's aggression against civilians makes the United States look weak in the international community. Responding with military action may involve forces in a conflict the American public has no desire to finish.
Seeking congressional action was the right call. The president is often criticized for unilaterally making decisions that should involve Congress. This time, he correctly took a more cautious route.
America's involvement in the Syrian conflict is not an easy decision. Fortunately, our elected representatives will have the opportunity to decide after a public debate.

Militant Anti-Abortion Activist Appeared on White Nationalist Talk Show
Posted By Sonia Scherr On April 1, 2010 @ 5:56 pm In Anti-Abortion | 27 Comments
Militant anti-abortion activist Michael Bray [1] is reaching out to Kenyans on a new website targeting abortion providers and gay rights activists with ties to the country. In his endorsement of ProjectSEE.com [2], he rejects the view of "racists" who thought Africa was "hopelessly backwards because it was occupied by an inferior racial group." Rather, Bray argues, the West's cultural superiority resulted from its embrace of Christianity, which was only later introduced to Africa. "It [is] perhaps Africa which shall be the beacon for the world in the new century as Christianity's influence is increased in contrast to its departure from the west," he wrote. "ProjectSEE.com [SEE stands for Stop Exporting Evil!] exhorts Kenyans to resist the evil influences of an apostatizing West which has abandoned the Lord of Glory, the King above all kings."
Bray's rejection of racism might raise eyebrows in light of his appearance two years ago as a guest on "The Political Cesspool," a shamelessly white nationalist radio talk show that often denigrates those of African descent. Prior to Bray's interview, Cesspool host James Edwards [3] had, for example, called blacks "heathen savages," "subhumans" and "black animals" while discussing violent black-on-white crime. In an April 4, 2007, debut on CNN, Edwards told host Paula Zahn that "crime and violence follow African-Americans wherever they go." In the month before Bray's Oct. 12, 2007, "Cesspool" appearance, the show featured favorable interviews with former Klan attorney Sam Dickson, Holocaust denier Mark Weber, and former Klan leader and neo-Nazi David Duke, a "Cesspool" regular whom Edwards on his website described as "a Christian man above reproach."
Bray's "Cesspool" interview focused almost entirely on his legal troubles, according to archived audio of the show. He complained that federal agents, sheriff's deputies and Planned Parenthood representatives had entered his Wilmington, Ohio, home 11 days earlier to remove household items. "[They] ransacked the house, basically," Bray said.
The seizure resulted from a federal court order to take property that could be sold to satisfy a $1 million judgment against Bray, a defendant in a successful lawsuit brought by Planned Parenthood and several abortion doctors. The suit contended that the American Coalition of Life Activists had released a wanted-style poster listing the names and addresses of abortion providers. (In the Cesspool interview, Bray said he didn't produce or circulate the sign and that he was only loosely affiliated with the group.) Also at issue in the case was the "Nuremberg Files," an online listing of abortion providers and other supporters of abortion rights, with the names of those who'd been murdered crossed out and the names of those who had been wounded in gray. A federal jury in 1999 decided that the material constituted a "true threat" and ruled in favor of the plaintiffs; the full 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately affirmed the verdict. During the "Cesspool" interview, Bray told Edwards it's not only abortionists who will face Nuremberg-style trials, but also judges. "They are tyrants, and they need to be told they're tyrants for acting lawlessly," he said. "They violate not only the constitution, but they violate the laws of God."
The interview briefly touched on Bray's criminal history: He served four years in prison after being convicted in connection with a series of 1984 bombings in Maryland, Delaware and Washington D.C. The bombings targeted clinics, the American Civil Liberties Union and the National Abortion Federation, a trade association of abortion providers. Bray, 57, has repeatedly asserted that violence is justified to stop abortion and defended the 1993 killing of abortion doctor David Gunn in Pensacola, Fla.
ProjectSEE.com, the website Bray promotes, is controlled by Neal Horsley [4], creator of the "Nuremberg Files." (Horsley was not a defendant in the lawsuit.) Horsley's most recent venture in some ways resembles a toned-down version of his Nuremberg Files, with "not wanted" posters featuring the photos and, in some cases, contact information of gay rights activists and abortion providers working in Kenya.
Bray did not respond to a phone message on Wednesday seeking comment about his decision to be interviewed on "Cesspool." Though Bray made no racial comments on air, Edwards was moved by his story and urged listeners to donate money to help his large family. After Bray hung up, Edwards said: "Any guy that will have 11 white children in this day and age, I tell you, I salute him."

What is the point of this article other than attempting to associate anti-abortion and anti-gay mentalities with white people wishing to preserve their racial heritage? Low tactic, SPLC.

Crime and violence do follow "african americans" wherever they go. Look at the crime stats some time. Or even just take note of where the bad areas near or in your city are and who lives in them.
#4 Comment By Mason Green On April 2, 2010 @ 1:19 pm
The fact that you referred to The Political Cesspool as "white people wishing to preserve their racial heritage" lets me know exactly which side your bread is buttered on, "Lee".
#5 Comment By Mason Green On April 2, 2010 @ 2:23 pm
What about all the "bad areas" out in the rural boondocks? I live in Minnesota and we have a big problem with methamphetamine-fueled crime in small towns like Northfield, New Prague, etc. My relatives in rural Southern Oregon can attest to the same fact. And these areas are nearly all white.

Sorry guys, Africa IS hopelessly backward.

The texts read that Jesus had feet like bronze and hair as wool. That doesn't sound like a white man to me. Jesus was from Africa. Africa was the cradle of the world, and only through isolation and recessive genes have there been other races and peoples.
#8 Comment By Oddoneout On April 2, 2010 @ 2:59 pm
To the tune of Green Day's "American Idiot".
NOTE: The last line was written with tongue in cheek.
Won't listen to that Political Cesspool
Don't make me swallow all of that racist drool
The hosts are overgrown, bigoted gasbags
Who like pointy hoods, jackboots, and Rebel flags
It's just too much for somebody to take,
They think the Holocaust was just a fake
Just like Ahmedinijad said before
They're always claiming that minorities are dumb
Can't decide: of the Jews and the Muslims
Which one do they dislike more?
Well Ted Nugent's appeared as a guest on there
Also Pat Buchanan, with his graying hair
Self-loathing Marcus Epstein and Ezola
(Foster, that is), and David Duke…yuck-ola!
Always claiming the country is dying
I think their brains need a good frying
Before they spew much more of their bile
They're spewing hate like liquified, green poo
Their favorite music is Prussian Blue
Don't turn your radio dial…
To that horrid Political Cesspool
The folks that like it are just uncool
The guys on there think Limbaugh's a liberal
It's just amazing, how can they be so cynical
A pile of crap, if you'll let me be blunt
They syndicate themselves on Stormfront
And they wish that ol' George Wallace had won
Hard to believe that they are still on the air
When much better shows are no longer there
Bring back the Fairness Doctrine…

Really? He was not born in Africa. He and his parents were from what would be modern day Israel.
I have a full blooded Polish friend that has woolly hair and with a tan would be bronze. So what? Is he African?
They just used the Shroud to reconstruct him. He doesn't have African features.
There is no good argument to be made that he was anything other than a Semitic Middle Easterner which would match all the evidence.
Any of these bull claims that he was White, Aryan or African is mumbo jumbo and just used to manipulate.

Quoth jack:
Sorry guys, Africa IS hopelessly backward.
But then again, apartheid South Africa was forever insisting that they were G-d's Own Country, the Final Perfection of Civitas Dei on Earth as per the Dutch Reformed Church model revised to suit the arrogant whims of Afrikanerdom.
Who, unable to get over themselves over the loss of their "Divinely Ordained" power and privilege in the Rainbow Nation, have been calling for the establishment within South African sovereign territory of what they call Die Volkstaat (Afrikaans, "the people's state") which seeks to preserve Afrikaner Culture, Heritage, Values, Honour and the Afrikaans Language.
#12 Comment By skinnyminny On April 3, 2010 @ 5:07 pm
What's your point? Are you saying that the people in Africa need to learn how to live in Africa according to Americans way of life? I would say, people like you have no one to blame but yourselves in America – afterall, the African-Americans here are an example of getting people to conform to your ways of life! And, you wonder why newer immigrants to this country want to bring their own cultures and religion with them! You wonder why Muslims would rather get a Muslim woman from a Muslim country, than an American woman!
Carrie, stop blaming other people for your failures! Stop trying to scapegoat the black community! The blacks have been in this country for centuries – the duration of this time, they are still 'not equal.'
#13 Comment By Ruslan Amirkhanov On April 4, 2010 @ 7:55 am
Hey Carrie, looking at crime stats is a GREAT idea, so is controlling for income and population density. Interesting things happen.
#14 Comment By Mason Green On April 4, 2010 @ 1:20 pm
It looks as though Republic Broadcasting Network (a fringe radio syndicate that used to air The Political Cesspool) has recently been tied to the group that sent threatening letters to the governors of all 50 U. S. states. Its current hosts include the likes of Michael Collins Piper.
For more information about RBN, see here:
RBN also has close ties to the anti-Semitic, Willis Carto-founded American Free Press, a newspaper that James Edwards used to write columns for.
#15 Comment By Mason Green On April 4, 2010 @ 1:22 pm
The Cesspoolers' latest activity: smearing a 17-year-old girl. Look at James Edwards' recent blog posts sliming Constance McMillen. Looks like no target is off-limits to James Edwards and his ilk.

The reverse is also true to some extent. I'm sure a lot of white Americans don't realize exactly how much African influence there is in "mainstream" American culture: jazz, rock n' roll, musical instruments like the banjo, foods (particularly in the South), vocabulary (slang expressions like "bug", meaning "to annoy" have African origins), etc. Unfortunately, African-Americans themselves are seldom given enough credit for how much they have contributed to this country's way of life, and racist groups like the COfCC are still trying to rewrite history to make it looks as if the Europeans were the only ones who made contributions to American history and culture.
I remember watching Andrew Sullivan (a British author) on TV once and he mentioned the same thing. He commented on how most white Americans don't realize how African their culture, music, etc., actually is! He noticed it though, because he grew up in a country where there is relatively little African cultural influence compared to in the US, and moving from the UK to the US gave him a broader perspective on such matters than most native-born Americans have.
#17 Comment By Danniel Reynolds On April 6, 2010 @ 9:02 pm
The really hatefull scary part of this is when James Edward said any guy that will have 10 White childern I salute them. White childern daring to be born are automatically ractist and a horrible thing. Who said White's should have the right to reproduce? Dang racist!
#18 Comment By skinnyminny On April 7, 2010 @ 1:30 am
Yes, it is definitely interesting. I also like Andrew Sullivan-love the accent too!
#19 Comment By jack On April 7, 2010 @ 11:27 am
"So was Europe for nearly a millennium during the Dark and Middle Ages."
Western Civilization advanced the entire time. The "dark" ages has been a debunked myth for a long time.
TO IludiumPhosdex:
Look where SA is going, right down the toilet like Zimbabwe.
Can't blame Whitey anymore as the ANC is in charge.
"Look at James Edwards' recent blog posts sliming Constance McMillen. Looks like no target is off-limits to James Edwards and his ilk."
She made herself a target by attempting something revolting.

The ANSWER to the abortion debate is rather SIMPLE. Is the fetus alive?
If it is not alive, then abortion is NOT killing.
The secret is How to Tell if the Fetus is Alive.
God breathed the breath of life into Adam and he became a living soul. Before that minute, he was NOT a living soul.
The secret is if he was "breathing."
If a child is born full term, yet does not begin to breathe, it is recorded as "born dead".
The secret is that this baby never did breathe.
If a child age 8 is running around a pool, falls into the water and goes under, if that child is pulled out in time and begins to breathe, it is "alive."
But if the child does not revive and begin to breathe again, it is called DEAD.
The criteria used is in "breathing."
NOW HERE IS THE BIG ANSWER —-NO FETUS IN THE WOMB HAS EVER BREATHED. It does not and cannot breathe until it is born outside the womb.
Therefore, the Fetus in the womb is NOT alive!!
So then it cannot actually be "killed."
Then, it naturally follows that nobody can be called a "baby killer".
And no more excuses to kill a doctor who does an abortion for a mother who is desperate, due to a fetus with birth defects.
Or for an innocent raped teenager.
Or for a woman who already has 6 kids and cannot feed any more.
COMMON SENSE is all it takes. The ANSWER has been right there in plain sight all along.
#22 Comment By Marcia Larimore On April 7, 2010 @ 11:56 pm
FACTS UNKNOWN About Fetuses:
Another small fact that seldom gets mentioned, is that 99% of all abortions are done before the 3rd month of gestation.
At that stage, the fetus is about 2 inches long, & is not as well developed as a goldfish.
It cannot live outside the womb, & is basically a parasite on the uterus of the mother.
At certain stages, it has gills on its neck like a fish.
Floating in amniotic fluid, it is a precious beginning, but not yet a real "life."
Anymore than a seed or bulb is already a flower.
A fetus is a fantastic "work in progress" (yet unfinished).
But the beginning of life will not happen until birth.
#23 Comment By TL On April 8, 2010 @ 3:06 pm
Isn't Wilmington Ohio where the Keyhoe brothers got in a shoot-out with the police? When criminals masquerade as something noble, do they actually believe it themselves?
#24 Comment By Carrie On April 8, 2010 @ 8:06 pm
I like how this guy snivels that people are harassing him when he's the type that probably stands outside of clinics bothering women. If he cares about Christianity he needs to spend more time with the Bible and less on worrying about everyone else's sex life.
#25 Comment By Marcia Larimore On April 9, 2010 @ 11:01 am
Yes, I have always wondered how the Pro-Life group have NO trouble killing a Doctor who performs a few abortions a year in between delivering hundreds of babies.
It must be an impairment in reading. Pro-LIFE must mean to them it is OK to be PRO-DEATH.
Whenever it suits them, like when we go to Iraq or any other unfortunate nation that Bush or others decide to bomb. And not only to kill the "enemy", but to kill hundreds of thousands of OUR OWN boys & girls in uniform. Yep, its OK to kill those actual "alive" citizens, but we must really go all out to protect a 2 inch fetus. Am I missing something? Or is this as illogical as the TeaBaggers?
#26 Comment By tyrone mixon On April 9, 2010 @ 11:15 am
This back and forth has made me realize one thing, we all could use a bit of growing up. People talk about how much crime is in the Black community. True, we do have a lot of crime in the Black community. When you are shut a people out of most of society, they tend to do what is necessary to scratch out some kind of living, we have just come to embrace that which is criminal and made it some kind of sick lifestyle. Just like we did on the plantations with somewhat edible scraps we were given to eat. But in this case someone saw it was money to be made on us killing each other, rather it be the prison industrial complex or music. The Black people that these people like Edwards talks about…I don't know and neither does he.
As far as Africa being "hopelessly backward", that's your MSM driven opinion. Just think Africa leaders weren't corrupted by outside influences promising money and power. If they didn't look to the west for guidance and how to live or what is considered successful. Just think if they kept all their natural resources and was left the hell alone. Maybe they wouldn't be (in the words of some commentor up there) "hopelessly backward". We are put down here to (I think) advance ourselves and to reach a higher plain of existence. But all we manager to do so far is kill and murder each other as fast as we can. None of us have any high horse in which to sit.
#27 Comment By Mike Magruder On April 11, 2010 @ 3:21 pm
Perhaps we can deal with the issue. Many rich folks are full of warm poo poo and can't be trusted to do anything but breed slaves whenever and wherever they can get away with it. These types finally had to give up racist bullshit for the most part. Now they're trying to enslave all colors!
