Visual Aid: Andy Rooney calls its quits, may have to steal more bread now
He's been doing it since 1978. He's 92. And now he's finally quitting. Andy Rooney will no longer contribute his endearingly grumpy broadcast-ending segments to CBS's "60 Minutes." I assuming Andy will be OK, even though he says he invests in the stock market without really knowing what he's doing and steals bread from restaurants to save money. I'd embed these videos, but CBS won't allow it!

Hearing on S.1257, the District of Columbia House
Voting Rights Act of 2007
United States Senate Judiciary Committee
May 23, 2007
Members of the Committee: Thank you for inviting me to speak to you today about the District of Columbia House Voting Rights Act of 2007. I strongly support this legislation because it would correct two injustices: It would provide a long-overdue voting representative for residents of the District of Columbia, and it would restore adequate representation for the residents of the State of Utah. I appreciate that some have questioned whether providing District residents the fundamental right to vote is within Congress's power, but I do not share their doubts. There is no historical basis for concluding that the Framers intended to disenfranchise residents of the Nation's capital, and in my view the District Clause of the Constitution gives Congress the necessary authority to restore voting rights to those residents.
Although the crux of the debate regarding this legislation focuses on the DC portion of the bill, let me first speak about the Utah portion. Utah is in the unique position to remedy a wrong imposed on it after the 2000 census. Utah lost out on a 4th seat because of a Census Bureau decision to count and to enumerate to their respective home states government employees residing temporarily abroad, but not to count similarly situated missionaries. Had the Bureau either not counted any Americans residing temporarily abroad, or counted all such Americans and not just those employed by the federal government, Utah would have been awarded a fourth seat after the 2000 census.
This legislation puts Utah on a path to remedy a flawed decision. Although I have some questions about the language in the House legislation that mandated an "at large" seat for Utah, I want to be clear that those concerns were not regarding the constitutionality of an "at large" seat, but rather its effects on state's prerogatives and the historic role of the State in re-apportionment. I appreciate the deference the Senate bill has shown the state of Utah and look forward to working with you on this language as the legislation moves forward.
In order to understand the District portion of this legislation, it is important to take a historical perspective. At the time of our Nation's founding, the Framers provided for a federal district to house the seat of the federal government. This was done to ensure that the nation's capitol would be insulated from undue influence of the states and that its security would not be left in the hands of any one state. Denying District of Columbia residents the right to vote in elections for the House of Representatives was not necessary, or even relevant, to further these purposes. And contrary to the claims of some, there is no indication in the ratification debates that the Framers intended such disenfranchisement.
In fact, there was no discussion at all during the Constitutional Convention, and almost none in the state ratification debates, as to the voting rights of the new District residents, likely because it was assumed that the states donating the land for the District would provide for the voting rights of the residents of the ceded land. Indeed, from 1790-1800, District residents continued to vote in congressional elections in Maryland and Virginia. It was not until 1800, when the District became subject to complete federal control, that residents of the District lost their voting rights.
The Framers' failure to focus closely on this issue may well have stemmed from the fact that there was no District of Columbia at the time the Constitution was ratified. At that time, the Framers had prescribed only the District's purpose and the limitations on its geographic size. Even its location had not been selected. Many municipalities, including Trenton, New Jersey, Yorktown, Virginia and Reading, Pennsylvania vied for the honor. It was not until Congress passed the Residence Act that the site that is now the District of Columbia was selected as the seat of the federal government. For all the Framers knew, the capital would be located in the middle of an existing state--thereby allowing the residents of the District to continue voting in that state, as residents of federal enclaves do today.
Although they did not perceive a need explicitly to protect District residents' voting rights, the Framers did authorize Congress "[t]o exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District." As several Constitutional scholars have observed, Congress has used its power under this clause, numerous times, to treat residents of the District as though they were residents of a state. And that has been true even in instances where the Constitution gives rights or imposes responsibilities only on citizens of states. Opponents of this legislation argue, however, that the Framers meant to exclude District residents from voting by providing in Article I, Section 2 that members of the House are chosen "by the people of the several States." But that language was not chosen because of an intention to deny democracy to residents of the Nation's capital. Rather, the ratification debates indicate that this language resulted from two decisions made in the course of those debates: the decision that the House would be elected by the "people of the several States," as opposed to by the state legislatures; and the decision to allow voting qualifications to be set at the state, rather than the federal, level. At no point during the debates over these issues did anyone mention the residents of the newly-conceived federal district--let alone suggest that they would be deprived of the fundamental, individual right to voting representation.
In short, there is no historical basis for reading into the District Clause a limitation that would prevent Congress from ensuring adequate representation for all of the Nation's citizens. This Act ensures adequate representation both in Utah and in the District of Columbia, and it does so constitutionally. I therefore urge you to join me in supporting it.

AHDI joined forces with OAK Horizons again to offer an online preparation assessment course to assist candidates for the new Registered Medical Transcriptionist exam.
The program is provided on the Moodle educational platform. It allows the participant to assess his or her knowledge in the following areas:
CardiologyPulmonaryGastroenterologyGenitourinaryOrthopedicsOphthalmologyOtorhinolaryngologyHealthcare Record Technology
Obstetrics and GynecologyGeneral SurgeryPsychiatry/psychologyNeurologyDermatologyEnglishAHDI Book of Style, 3rd EditionMedical Terminology
The objective tests consist of 25 questions pulled randomly from the body system or specialty that the participant is assessing. The grade is reported immediately, and correct answers are provided upon review of the test. Since the database for each body system has approximately 100 questions and the questions are pulled randomly, the participant does not receive the same test twice. There is no limit to the number of times a participant may take the objective tests.
Each body system also has up to 5 voice clips to transcribe according to the directions provided. The participant may have to transcribe the entire clip, transcribe the missing part, or edit the voice clip. The clips are intended for practice purposes and are not part of the grade for the participant. The Moodle software is not as sophisticated as the RMT exam software and cannot allow for the many variations that can occur in the practical portion of the exam. The participant may practice the process and technique of using the voice clips, with an answer provided for comparison purposes only.
A practice exam is offered incorporating 33 voice files and 97 objective questions. The participant may take the exam as often as desired, although the questions will remain the same with each attempt. The exam allows the participant to experience the process and intensity of a full exam.
The program is open to the participant 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for each calendar month. The cost for each course is $100 for AHDI members and $125 for nonmembers. Registration for each month occurs from the 1st through the 25th of the month prior.
Course Overview
Time Commitment
Approximately 5-10 hours per week for the 4-week course commitment.

This piece is very nice looking with clean lines. You will not sink in because this is rather firm. I wanted that in the chair anyway, because after some time of use, it's been my observation that couches and chairs suck you in and it's a struggle getting out of the chair.My only problem with the chair was in it's assembly. The instructions are PATHETIC. For those who are planning on buying this piece, there is velcro on the bottom of the back piece that needs to be opened for you to be able to screw on the arm pieces. We spent more time trying to figure out what to do. If there were clear instructions we would have been done setting it up in 15 minutes. This is also why I gave this piece 4 instead of 5 stars.Overall: love this piece!
We bought this chair to go in our son's room for bedtime story time. It is quite firm - which is great because it's taking quite a bit to break it in. From what I see, I don't think it will break down, so once it's "broken in" - it will probably remain supportive but not annoyingly firm. We've had it for 4 months and it gets used every day - both for typical use and for 2-year old energetic boy abuse - and it is doing its job perfectly. It cleans up VERY nicely (if spilling/spit up/etc is an issue). We love it so much that we just purchased an identical one for our living room. It's a fantastic size (for both the 11x10 bedroom and our large living room). ASSEMBLY HINT: find the Velcro to expose assembly points! Also, the feet are IDENTICAL, so make sure you orient them correctly before putting in that final support screw!
I don't typically like to buy furniture without first getting to try it out... I shopped for quite a while for a chair and it seemed that most chairs "with arms" are ridiculously expensive! This is a GREAT chair and expecially for the price! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish it was a little wider. However, I kneew it wasn't when I ordered it. It's a bit firmer than I usually like, but it's still very comfortable and will hopefully hold up a little longer than some of the softer furniture does! And it is quite sturdy. There is a weight limit listed in the product description, so maybe check that out if you're concerned. As for anyone who has read other reviews and may be concerned about the difficulty in assembling it... DON'T BE!! I found the reviews hard to believe, so I timed myself. With the "help" of our two large, very curious dogs, it took me 22 minutes to unpack, assemble and put it in place. I had even put one of the pieces on wrong and had to redo it (my fault, not because of the directions). The directions are simple because the assembly is that simple. There are only 5 pieces (+ the legs) and it's quite obvious where each piece goes. The only reason I felt I had to look at the directions was to make sure I had all of the hardware. Yes, there is velcro on the bottom of the chair and no, the directions don't tell you that. But I saw it immediately as I pulled it out of the box. The most difficult part for me, was trying to get the legs screwed in so that they all faced the same direction. And as far as the microfiber changing colors... ALL microfiber I've ever seen does that. So it's to be expected.
Happy with the quality of this chair. Was a bit of a pain to put together, but I was prepared for this from the other reviews I had read. Chair is a bit uncomfy, but I think it just needs to be sat on to break it in. Color is really nice and goes well with my room. Doesn't bother me too much, but the microfiber is one color when you swipe your hand across it and another when you go the other way so that the sheen is different. So I'm constantly "petting" the chair to make the sheen all be one color.
I really like this chair. Not too over-sized but not a dinky little chair either. Sits firm, yet comfortable. The seat is deep and not too narrow. I'm on the short dumpy side and it is roomy. I use it to read, while working on my laptop and watch TV. I have a reclining sofa that is too comfy and sits back a bit more...sometimes hard for me to get out of. This chair is a perfect alternative. I like the fabric - easy to clean, the arms are cushy so I can sit sideways and curl up with a cat and a book. I paired it with my existing ottoman and they are a great set!
I reviewed this middle of the road, because it is a chair that is in our guest room. It's not being used a lot. It does look nice. It was fairly easy for my husband to assemble.
There's an old saying: "You get what you pay for." This is no different. Don't expect designer styling or high quality craftsmanship. It's made in China (or the like), and it shows. The cushions are 'crunchy', like those stuffed animals that you win at the fair. You have to assemble it - make sure you have long handled screwdrivers to set the legs. It's not difficult, but it does take a few minutes. For the price, it's not a bad buy, but nothing to get excited about. It's good for a chair that you don't plan to sit in every day.
Okay, it's pretty. Really pretty. But really, really uncomfortable. We bought if for our den, and the family fights over it...and not in a good way. It's fine for short-term sitting.
Bought this chair for my bedroom ... and love it!! Very comfortable! Would have liked to been able to have purchased the matching ottoman.
I bought this chair a few years ago and it has endured LOTS of moves to different houses, different places in the houses - dogs, people, coffee spills, etc. It has held up amazingly well. I was a little worried at first because it was stiff, but it wore in just the right amount. It is currently at my parents house being used in their guest apartment and it fits so well there. It use to be my morning coffee chair.

Goodwin Liu
Mr. Chairman, Once again we are debating the nomination of Goodwin Liu, to be United States Circuit Judge for the Ninth Circuit. While I have pledged - and indeed demonstrated - cooperation in moving forward on consensus nominations, there is no doubt that Mr. Liu does not fall into that category. My objections to this nominee can be summarized with four areas of concern: his controversial writings and speeches; an activist judicial philosophy; his lack of judicial temperament; and limited experience.
Mr. Liu describes his writings as critical, inventive, and provocative. He states that he is simply a commentator, as it were to poke, prod and critique. The difficulty I have with this is that Mr. Liu's legal scholarship is beyond simple commentary. In fact, it is a prescription for a very activist agenda. Professor Liu argues that the Fourteenth Amendment creates a constitutional right to some minimum level of public welfare benefits. He has said that "the duty of government cannot be reduced to simply providing the basic necessities of life . . . the main pillars of the agenda would include . . . expanded health insurance, child care, transportation subsidies, job training, and a robust earned income tax credit."
Professor Liu is a strong proponent of affirmative action and its constitutionality. Celebrating the Supreme Court's decision in Grutter v. Bollinger, he said "[a]chieving racial diversity throughout our leading [educational] institutions is not merely constitutionally permissible, but morally required."
Professor Liu believes bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional. He was one of several law professors who filed an amicus brief with the California Supreme Court in a suit seeking to have California's same-sex marriage prohibition declared unconstitutional.
These statements, just a sample of his works, are not merely a scholarly reflection on the state of the law but a prescription for change. As he stated following President Obama's election in an interview with NPR's Weekend Edition: "Whereas I think in the last seven or eight years we had mostly been playing defense in the sense of trying to prevent as many - in our view - bad things from happening. Now we have the opportunity to actually get our ideas and the progressive vision of the Constitution and of law and policy into practice."
Mr. Liu holds a view of the Constitution that can only be described as an activist judicial philosophy. The centerpiece of his judicial philosophy - a theory he describes as constitutional fidelity - sounds nice until you learn what he means by it. What he means by fidelity is "the Constitution should be interpreted in ways that adapt its principles and its text to the challenges and conditions of our society in every single generation." Continuing, he states, "On this approach, the Constitution is understood to grow and evolve over time as the conditions, needs, and values of our society change."
When I questioned Mr. Liu on this he stated that his book respects the notion that the text of the Constitution and the principles that it expresses are totally fixed and enduring. I must admit some confusion with this contradiction. Either the text and principles are fixed and enduring, or they are adaptable - something that grows and evolves. Mr. Liu is apparently comfortable with this contradiction. It is a pattern I find throughout his testimony.
I am concerned about his appreciation of the proper role of a judge in our system of checks and balances. His philosophy leads to an inevitable expansion of the power of the judiciary. For example, according to Professor Liu, courts should play a role in creating and expanding constitutional welfare rights. He argues that, once a legislative body creates a welfare program, it is the proper role of the courts to grasp the meaning and purpose for that welfare benefit. He states that courts can recognize welfare rights by "invalidat[ing] statutory eligibility requirements or strengthen[ing] procedural protections against withdrawal of benefits.
Professor Liu also seems to favor a social needs-based view of living constitutionalism. His scholarly work argues that judicial decision making should be shaped by contemporary social needs and norms. Notably, he has said that "the problem for courts is to determine, at the moment of decision, whether our collective values on a given issue have converged to a degree that they can be persuasively crystallized and credibly absorbed into legal doctrine." This is troublesome. Our constitutional framework puts the legislative function in the Congress, not in the courts. It is the legislative function, through the political process, that determines when a particular value is to become part of our law. This is not a judicial duty. The judiciary is limited to deciding cases and controversies, not establishing public policy.
I would note further that this view of constitutional interpretation does not rely on the acts of the legislature or on the precedents established by higher courts. Rather, it is based on a concept of what he refers to as "evolving norms." Furthermore, as he testified before the committee, it is these "evolving norms" which inform the Supreme Court's elaboration of constitutional doctrine.
Mr. Liu tried to sound like a mainstream jurist when he stated the duty of a Circuit Judge was to faithfully follow the Supreme Court's instructions on matters of constitutional interpretation. Again, this sounds nice, but what does it mean? If we accept his premise that the Supreme Court's instructions are based on evolving norms, it follows that such "evolving norms" will shape the Circuit Courts decisions as well. This activist theory leads to a judicial system substituting the whims of individual judges over the text and original meaning of the U.S. Constitution.
This is not the duty of a Circuit Judge.
Mr. Liu's legal views and judicial philosophy are clearly out of the mainstream. Just a small example illustrates this point. I questioned four of President Obama's District Judge nominees who followed Mr. Liu on the day of his hearing. I asked each of them concerning a specific point about Mr. Liu's judicial philosophy. Each one of them each one of them flatly rejected Mr. Liu's position. This included his view on judges considering "collective values" when interpreting the Constitution; on using foreign law; on interpreting the Constitution in ways that adapt its principles and its text; and on considering "public values and social understandings" when interpreting the Constitution.
Based on his out-of-the-mainstream views, it is no surprise that his nomination is opposed by so many. Included in that opposition are 42 district attorneys serving in the state of California. They are concerned, among other things, about his views on criminal law, capital punishment, and the role of the federal courts in second-guessing state decisions.
My third area of concern is that Mr. Liu has made a number of critical statements which indicate a lack of judicial temperament. He has been very openly critical of the current Supreme Court. In one article, he said that the holding in Bush v. Gore was "utterly lacking in any legal principle." He has claimed that the current court as a whole is unprincipled, saying that "if you look across the entire run of cases, you see a fairly consistent pattern where respect for precedent goes by the wayside when it gets in the way of result."
Professor Liu was highly critical of the nomination of Justice Roberts. He published an article on Bloomberg.com entitled "Roberts Would Swing the Supreme Court to the Right." In that article, he acknowledged that Roberts was qualified, saying "[t]here's no doubt Roberts has a brilliant legal mind. . . . But a Supreme Court nominee must be evaluated on more than legal intellect." He then voiced concerns that "with remarkable consistency throughout his career, Roberts ha[d] applied his legal talent to further the cause of the far right." He also spoke very disparagingly of Justice Roberts' conservative beliefs:
"[b]efore becoming a judge, he belonged to the Republican National Lawyers Association and the National Legal Center for the Public Interest, whose mission is to promote (among other things) "free enterprise," "private ownership of property," and "limited government." These are code words for an ideological agenda hostile to environmental, workplace, and consumer protections."
Professor Liu has been very publicly critical of Justice Alito in particular. He believes it a valid criticism of Justice Alito to say that "[h]e approaches law in a formalistic, mechanical way abstracted from human experience." And we are all familiar with Mr. Liu's scathing attack at Justice Alito's confirmation hearing. When asked about his testimony, Mr. Liu admitted the language was unduly harsh, provocative, unnecessary, and was a case of poor judgment. I can agree with Mr. Liu on this statement.
I can appreciate that Mr. Liu now understands the unfortunate language he used. The trouble I have with this, however, is that it shows that even when stepping out of the academic world, Mr. Liu promotes extreme views and intemperate language. Even if I accept his rationale for the tone of his work in the academic world, that does not explain his congressional testimony. That was one opportunity where he could demonstrate a reasoned, temperate approach. Yet he failed that test. I think it may also indicate what we might expect from a Judge Liu. To me, that is an unacceptable outcome.
My fourth major concern is his lack of experience. After graduating from law school in 1998, he clerked for Judge David S. Tatel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. When his clerkship ended, Professor Liu became Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of Education for one year. In 2000, he worked as a contract attorney for the law firm of Nixon Peabody, LLP, where he "assisted with legal research and writing." From 2000 to 2001, Professor Liu clerked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Supreme Court. After his Supreme Court clerkship, Professor Liu became an associate at O'Melveny & Myers, where he remained for less than two years. According to his questionnaire, he appeared in court only "occasionally." He also reported that his other work as an attorney has not involved court appearances. He has not tried any cases in courts of record to verdict, judgment, or final decision. Since 2003, Professor Liu has been a full-time law professor at UC Berkeley School of Law, and in 2008 he became Associate Dean.
After his nomination last year, the ABA Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary gave Professor Liu the rating "Unanimous Well-Qualified." I am somewhat perplexed by this rating. According to the Standing Committee's explanation of its standards for rating judicial nominees, "a prospective nominee to the federal bench ordinarily should have at least twelve years' experience in the practice of law." Further, "the Committee recognizes that substantial courtroom and trial experience as a lawyer or trial judge is important." At the time of his nomination and rating, Professor Liu graduated from law school less than 12 years prior and has been a member of a state bar only since May 1999. As noted above, he has no trial experience and has never been a judge.
Mr. Chairman, we have often heard the term "confirmation conversion" applied to nominees who appear to have a change of legal philosophy when they are nominated to a federal judgeship. As I review the record, I think Mr. Liu has taken that concept a step further - I would use the phrase confirmation chameleon. It seems to me that Mr. Liu is willing to adapt his testimony to what he thinks is most appropriate at the time. I have discussed other contradictions already, but let me give you a clear example. Senator Cornyn asked him about his troubling record contained in his work product expressing opinions on death penalty to same-sex marriage to welfare rights. Senator Cornyn then stated "You are now saying, 'Wipe the slate clean because none of that has any relevance whatsoever to how I would conduct myself as a judge in confirmed by the Senate. Is that correct?" Mr. Liu responded, "That is correct, Senator." A few minutes later I asked him "If we were to, let us just say, wipe the slate clean as to your academic writings and career, what is left to justify your confirmation?" Mr. Liu responded "I would hope that you would not wipe my slate clean, as it were. You know, I am what I am."
Mr. Liu cannot have it both ways. Either his record stays with him or we wipe the slate clean. Perhaps in the long run it doesn't matter, because either way it leaves us with an individual who should not be given a lifetime appointment. With his record as a law professor we are left with the evidence of a left-leaning, judicial activist. Without it we are left with a two-year associate with law clerk experience and little else.
Lastly, Mr. Chairman, I will conclude with this thought. I do not believe Mr. Liu has an understanding and appreciation of the proper role of a judge. I believe, if confirmed, he will bring a personal agenda and political ideology into the courtroom.
It is ironic that in commenting on the Roberts nomination, Mr. Liu said "the nomination is a seismic event that threatens to deepen the Nation's red-blue divide. Instead of choosing a consensus candidate [the President] has opted for a conservative thoroughbred who, if confirmed, will likely swing the court sharply to the right on many critical issues."
If confirmed, I am concerned that Mr. Liu will deeply divide the Ninth Circuit and move that court even further to the left. Opinions he could offer would mean his activist ideology and judicial philosophy would seep well beyond the Berkeley campus. Sitting on the Ninth Circuit, his opinions and rulings would have far reaching effect on individuals and businesses throughout the nine-state Circuit, including places like Bozeman, Montana; Boise, Idaho, and Anchorage, Alaska.
For the reasons I have articulated - (1)his controversial writings and speeches; (2)an activist judicial philosophy; (3) his lack of judicial temperament; and (4) his limited experience - as well as many other concerns which I have not expressed today, I shall oppose this nomination.
Sunshine in the Courtroom
Mr. Chairman, I'm pleased to be here today to mark-up the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act. I'd like to take a moment to thank the Chairman and the other co-sponsors of this bill who have helped build such a strong bipartisan effort in support of this important legislation. Senator Schumer, who is the lead cosponsor of this bill, and Senators Graham, Cornyn, Durbin, Klobuchar and Blumenthal.
For the new members, let me first begin with a brief explanation of this bill's history in our committee. Then I'll explain the necessity of this bill and why it's so vital that we pass it.
Since 2001, the committee has marked-up this legislation five times and has reported it out of Committee each time with bipartisan support. In 2001, the Committee approved the legislation by a 12 to 7 vote. In 2003, it was approved by a vote of 14 to 4. It passed by a vote of 11 to 6 in 2006, by a vote of 10 to 8 in 2008 and by a vote of 13 to 6 in 2010. Each and every time the bill had coordinated efforts from both sides of the aisle to support its progress, just as it does today.
Cameras in federal courtrooms are at the very heart of an open and transparent government. In 1947, the Supreme Court stated, "what transpires in the courtroom is public property," and I believe this is true. The Founders intended for trials to be held in front of all people who wished to attend. The First Amendment supports the notion that court proceedings be open to the public and by, extension, the news media and broadcast coverage, the same way C-SPAN opened Congress to the public.
Nothing could be more fundamental than the public's knowledge of their Constitution. To see it, not as some dusty old document they read about in their history books, but to see it upheld daily by the actions of their federal judiciary. To that end, the public will become better informed about the federal judiciary and the judicial process. Further, this bill will bring greater accountability and public scrutiny to the federal judiciary, a system that includes judges with lifetime tenure.
There are many benefits and few detriments to allowing greater public access to the judiciary. At least fifteen states have conducted studies which determined that camera coverage contributed to a greater understanding of the court system. Presently, all 50 states allow some form of modern audio visual coverage of court proceedings, within reasonable limits. Two Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal, the Second and the Ninth, currently allow selective coverage of appellate arguments.
The widespread use of electronic media coverage in state courts is evidence that cameras can be used without damaging the integrity of the trial process. Further, at the federal level, a 1994 Federal Judicial Center pilot program found no effects of camera presence on participants in the proceedings. Sixteen years later, the Judicial Conference launched another pilot program in September 2010, allowing cameras in federal district courts.
The courts have also recognized that there is a need to broadcast important cases. For instance, Chief Justice Rehnquist allowed the delayed audio broadcasting of the oral arguments in the 2000 presidential election dispute, in response to urging from Senator Schumer and myself to reconsider the decision to ban television coverage of the matter. This marked a historical step in the right direction for judicial branch transparency.
Chief Justice Roberts continued this precedent by releasing audio recordings of the oral arguments in the combined Guantanamo Detainee cases. This was another historic step forward.
Despite these instances, there is still a need for Congress to step in and legislate. For example, in January 2010, the Supreme Court issued a stay of an order by the Ninth Circuit allowing the real-time audiovisual streaming of the non-jury trial in Hollingsworth v. Perry. In issuing the stay, the court effectively halted the media coverage of the trial, but it was not on substantive grounds. Instead, the opinion expressly stated, "[w]e do not express here any views on the propriety of broadcasting court proceedings generally." The court went on further to find that the Ninth Circuit's decision to amend the court rules violated federal law because they did not follow the proper notice and comment procedures.
Our legislation will help settle this question about media access to federal courts. To those here who oppose the bill, let me be clear, it does not mandate camera coverage. Instead, it simply gives judges the discretion to allow media coverage in federal courtrooms.
It also prohibits the presiding judge from permitting the photographing, recording, broadcasting or televising of the proceedings if it would violate the rights of the individuals involved in the trial.
In addition, the bill provides a number of procedural safeguards. It protects the anonymity of non-party witnesses by giving them the right to have their voices and images obscured during testimony. The bill also provides a 3-year sunset provision allowing a reasonable amount of time to determine how the process is working before making the legislation permanent. Finally, the bill gives the Judicial Conference the authority to issue guidelines on administration of media coverage to ensure uniformity across the federal judiciary
This bill strikes the right balance between protecting individual rights and ensuring open access to the judiciary. It allows judges the discretion to allow cameras in the federal courtroom should they so choose. It protects witnesses and doesn't compromise the integrity of trials.
As it has proven in many different states, allowing media coverage of federal courtrooms will provide much needed sunshine in the least understood of the branches of the federal government. If federal judges are allowed to make life or death decisions for the individuals they try, we should respect their ability to make a decision to securely allow public access to their proceedings.
I urge my colleagues to support this bi-partisan legislation.
Faster FOIA
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to say a few words about the Faster FOIA bill.
I know that Senator Cornyn and you have put a lot of work into this bill and we appreciate it. The bill creates a commission to study the delays in the processing of information requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
I want to thank you and Senator Cornyn for agreeing to the changes that we requested. I believe that they significantly improve the bill.
As a result of those changes, the issues that the commission will study and report on now include --- whether any disparities in processing information requests have occurred because of political vetting; --- and the extent to which political appointees have been involved in the processing of requests under the Freedom of Information Act.
There's a real need to investigate these issues.
Given my experience in trying to pry information out of the Executive Branch and based on investigations by the media, I'm disappointed to report that President Obama's statements about transparency are not being put into practice. Federal agencies under the control of the Obama administration's political appointees have been more aggressive than ever in withholding information.
Perhaps the most dramatic and troubling departure from President Obama's vow to usher in a new era of open government was revealed in e-mails from the Department of Homeland Security obtained by the Associated Press in July of 2010.
The Associated Press uncovered that for nearly a year President Obama's political appointees at Homeland Security screened Freedom of Information Act requests and delayed responses.
Specifically, career employees were ordered to provide Secretary Napolitano's political staff with information about the people who asked for records -- such as where they lived, whether they were private citizens or reporters -- and about the organizations where they worked. If a member of Congress sought requested documents, employees were told to specify Democrat or Republican. The political vetting often delayed the release of information for weeks beyond the usual wait.
There are also news reports of employment retaliation arising out of the uncovering of the political vetting policy at Homeland Security.
In particular, there are reports that the career employee who complained about the political vetting policy to the inspector general was demoted by the Obama administration.
This career employee was the deputy chief in charge of the Freedom of Information Act. She was the most senior career employee in this area at Homeland Security.
She was denied a promotion and the day after she met with congressional investigators, --- her job responsibilities were reduced and she was told that she had a week to move out of her current office and into a smaller one.
We cannot ignore or minimize this type of conduct.
The situation at Homeland Security is not an isolated incident and the Faster FOIA bill could not have come sooner.
An article in the Washington Post last week by the president of the Association of Health Care Journalists and the president of the Society of Professional Journalists --- confirms that at least some in the media are concerned about the Obama administration's poor performance in the area of transparency.
According to the Washington Post article, the Obama administration has imposed restrictions on reporters' newsgathering that exceed any constraints put in place by the Bush administration.
For example, the piece in the Washington Post reports that the Obama administration muzzles scientists and experts within federal agencies. When they are allowed to talk about important public health issues, a chaperone often supervises every word.
The Obama administration has talked a great deal about the reams of data it has put online. However, as the Washington Post article explains, -- although this information is useful, --- it's merely a matter of the government posting what it wants when it wants, on sites most citizens would never think to visit.
Meanwhile, as the Washington Post reported, --- in more than a third of requests made for public records last year, the Obama administration failed to provide any information at all. The Obama administration is releasing fewer records under the Freedom of Information Act than the Bush administration did. And when a response is provided, it often is incomplete or comes years later.
Ironically, the Obama administration even censored 194 pages of internal e-mails about its Open Government Directive.
So there's a real disconnect between the President's words about transparency and the actions of his political appointees.
Open government and transparency are more than just pleasant sounding words. They are essential to maintaining our democratic form of government.
Throughout my career I have actively conducted oversight of the executive branch regardless of who controls the Congress or the White House.
Open government is not a Republican or a Democrat issue. It has to be a bipartisan issue. Our differences on policy issues and the workings of the government must be debated before our citizens in the open.
It's our job in Congress to help ensure that agencies are more transparent and responsive to the people we represent.
I believe that investigating the political vetting of information requests under the Freedom of Information Act is part of our responsibilities to our fellow citizens.
So I believe that the changes to the Faster FOIA bill help to fulfill our constitutional duties as legislators.
No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels (NOPEC)
Mr. Chairman, I am pleased once again to be an original co-sponsor of Senator Kohl's "No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels" bill. This bill would allow the U.S. government to bring lawsuits against oil cartel members for antitrust violations. I have supported this legislation since 2000. High energy prices are a drag on our economy. With the price of oil pushing $110 a barrel, it's time to put an end to illegal price fixing. OPEC needs to know that we are committed to stopping their anti-competitive behavior. I am committed to pursuing this initiative, along with my efforts to develop renewable energy and increase America's energy independence.

TV stations struggling with viewer loss on DTV
NEW YORK (AP) – The government is helping two dozen TV stations that became difficult to receive by antenna when they switched to new frequencies as part of the digital TV transition, the Federal Communications Commission said.
Most of the stations, in cities like Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Dallas, moved their digital broadcasts from the UHF band to the VHF band on June 12, when they turned off their analog broadcasts.
The VHF band was previously used only for analog broadcasts, and was largely untried as a carrier for digital broadcasts. While UHF can be received well with small indoor antennas, the best VHF antennas are large rooftop units. Many antennas sold as "digital" ones in the last few years receive UHF only.
The FCC has sent engineers to some of the affected cities and has granted temporary permission to some stations to increase the strength of their signals as it seeks a long-term solution, said Robert Ratcliffe, acting chief of the FCC's Media Bureau.
ABC-affiliated Channel 6 in Philadelphia is one of the stations that lost viewers after the transition, and it received temporary permission to boost its power output, according to a newscast last week. The ABC station in Chicago has also had problems.
Just after June 12, about 30 percent of callers to the FCC's help center had difficulties receiving one or more digital stations. That figure has declined this week to just above 20 percent, the FCC said.
"Fortunately, for the vast majority of stations, the transition has been successful, and consumers have realized the benefits of digital television," Ratcliffe said at an FCC meeting Thursday.

We paid full price even though we are Camp Club USA members. They don't take reservations for CCUSA, so we paid full price to insure a space. We needed to leave one night early for family reasons and they said no refunds except with 14 days notice. There are no picnic tables. It is so close to road that it is really noisy at night It was too noisy to sleep. The dumpster pick up at 3:50am. They offer nothing for 36 dollars a night. We won't come back: EVER. It was the owners who said no exceptions can be made.

Packing lists are critical, I find. I give one to my clients that includes notes about quirks of place we're visiting.
Like you, I cross off things as they go into the bag.
I also create a separate To Do list each week before I travel with all the things I have to remember to do before I leave. Plus a separate "Don't Forget To" list ...put out garbage, cancel newspaper, turn off water, etc., etc.
Maybe because I'm a pretty loosey-goosey person in my day-to-day life I've found that these kinds of lists really have saved my bacon many, many times.

It would help if you said just what the problem is.
Is it that you can't access their site or there is something wrong when you start to download. Their torrent page doesn't seem to be up at the moment, in which case you will need to wait until it is back up. |

You have Azureus installed and you click them.
Basically the torrent file that you need will be downloaded. --------------------------------------------------------------- But please don't use this unless you really have no other option.

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsBlack Hawk Down: A Story of Modern Warby Mark Bowden
AwardsA New York Times Notable Book of 1999.
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Destined to become a classic of war reporting, Black Hawk Down is Mark Bowden's brilliant account of the longest sustained firefight involving American troops since the Vietnam War. On October 3, 1993, about a hundred elite U.S. soldiers were dropped by helicopters into the teeming market in the heart of Mogadishu, Somalia. Their mission was to abduct two top lieutenants of a Somali warlord and return to base. It was supposed to take an hour. Instead they found themselves pinned down through a long and terrible night fighting against thousands of heavily armed Somalis. The following morning, eighteen Americans were dead and more than seventy badly injured.<P>Bowden's minute-by-minute narrative is one of the most exciting accounts of modern war ever written-a riveting story that captures the heroism, courage, and brutality of battle.
Review:"This is military writing at its breathless best....[A] gripping account of combat that merits thoughtful reading by anyone concerned with the future course of the country's military strategy and its relationship to foreign policy." Publishers Weekly
Review:"[A] horribly fascinating bullet-by-bullet story, in which the purpose of Americans in Somalia fades to irrelevance amidst the immediate desperation of fighting....An account impossible to stop reading, especially for those with army associations." Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
Review:"[A]s reportage, this account offers a look at modern war in the tradition of the great war correspondents. Gripping, passionate, and impossible to put down." Kirkus Reviews
Review:"This story of a U.S. military mission gone awry belongs in an elite category: nonfiction that you can't put down....[A] page-turner." Matthew Heimer, Brill's Content
Review:"A vivid, immediate and unsparing narrative that is filled with blood and noise....It bears comparison to S.L.A. Marshall's classic account of a battle in Korea, Pork Chop Hill." Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post
Review:"What this demotic, you-are-there prose lacks in literary finesse...it makes up in pure narrative drive....Bowden has performed an important service by picking out and meticulously dramatizing such a turning point in recent history. Until [the book] came along, this strange and terrible battle was in danger of being forgotten." William Finnegan, The New York Times Book Review
About the AuthorMark Bowden is the award-winning author of Bringing the Heat and Doctor Dealer. He has been a reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer for nineteen years. He also writes for Men's Journal, Sports Illustrated, Playboy, Rolling Stone, Parade, and other magazines.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 5
Enjoyed from the tap at Der Andechser Ratskeller in Wiesbaden.
Appearance - clear golden body with a white, pillowy head.
Smell - sweet malt with the smell of Spring in the background.
Taste - mellow bitterness with a slight sweetness that will accompany any meal.
Mouthfeel - tastefully light with no hints of alcohol.
Drinkability - I could drink this beer all day and double on Sunday. Although the alcohol content may be higher than some, you won't notice it because you'll be enjoying the taste so much. For a brewery that has existed since the Middle Ages, they have definitely kept up with the tastes and flavors of present day. If you can find anything from Andechs, buy it and enjoy it with zeal!

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
500ml bottle, poured into a pokal/weizen like glass.
Golden amber colour, very slightly hazy (probably as I use my food fridge), with some carbonation slowly rising. Fairly thick foamy head that dissipated to a thin cap, and some slightly sticky rings on the glass.
Subtle but substantial malt aroma, perhaps a still warm from the oven flapjack smell/slight buttery nuttiness, noble hops sit in the background, some slight citrus.
Full but clean malt flavor, baked-like rather than roasted or toasted and slight butteryness, backed up by the subtle noble hops.
Pretty high carbonation, but it's quite smooth and has no alch. presence at nearly 7%. This wasn't to my tastes but refreshing in a way for it's maltiness.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a dimpled pint mug.
Pours a clear golden colour with a small white head.
Smells quite faint, mild alcohol and fruity sweetness.
Tastes nicely balanced, crisp but not overly so. Fairly sweet with a hint of alcohol on the finish.
Overall a pretty nice beer, strength nicely toned down and very drinkable.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Poured into a Mayr's beer mug.
Beautiful ivory fine thick and stable foam that reduces to thin layer after quite a while. Body is a pale yellow with medium carbonation
Subtle smell of hops and pale malts, honey?
This is very clean. Pale malts cover perfectly the elevated abv of this bock beer, better than most others. There is a buttery undertone. Bitterness comes very late into the game, almost when you think it is already done.
Body seems quite thin in the beginning but then there is a buttery feel just the moment you swallow it down that covers tongue and palate. It has enough carbonation to make it mildly refreshing which is scary at the given abv.
I am neither a big fan nor an expert in the field of Helles Bockbier, but I enjoy the clean taste of this and the fact that the alcohol is so well hidden. It tastes like a Munich Helles with elevated malt sweetness and abv, but I guess this is just what the style is about. I will keep researching this style.

look: 3 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.25
A: Pours with a very tall white, but slightly yellowish head. The head is a bit uneven and sets rather quickly as the clear golden liquid rises. Lots of small bubbles in it. Some faint lacings.
S: Rich malt, honey-sweet and slightly roasted - bready, almost doughy. Citric from floral hops and some bitter hops to complement it. Grassy.
T: Sweet malt, bready and slightly roasted. Still a bit doughy, but not in an unpleasant way. Grass and herbs, it tastes like spring. Some hidden bitter hops.
M: Long sweet and bready aftertaste. Full body and rather rich in carbonation, but not offensive.
O: Well, it looked kind of crappy, but then it turned and my high expectations came true. A very nice Maibock.

A: Golden with a decent white head.
S: Sweet malts, grass and grain.
T: Delicious! The typical grassy, herbal Helles flavours blend beautifully with a malty, caramel sweetness.
M: Medium-carbonation - slightly watery.
This is the first Maibock I've tried and it came as a complete surprise - I was expecting a variation on a normal Helles, but this really is an altogether different beer. It's the perfect blonde lager for anyone who loves Doppelbocks.

Date: Best by 12/17/2012
Glass: Ayinger willi glass
Pours a 3cm, beige-colored head, fades to a thick ring around the glass with some islands of foam atop the body. As the head fades, minimal lacing is left. Body is a transparent burnt orange in color,
Aroma is sweet, of honey and mild caramel/toffee, with a slight herbal backdrop. Good, not particularly deep or complex, but enjoyable.
Taste is malty, sweet, honey-like with slight herbal, mint-like flavor. Slightly biscuit-like, grain-like, and caramel-like flavors. Slight European hop bitterness arrives at end of mid-palate, lasting through finish. Aftertaste of residual sweetness, some honey, slight bitterness. Flavor is good, but could be bolder and more complex, have more interplay.
Medium to medium-heavy in body, with ample, but gentle carbonation. Result is a foamy mouthfeel with a dry finish and some residual stickiness.
A slightly above average maibock, but its lack of availability is nothing to be concerned about - some locally available beers are comparable or more satisfying.

500ml Bottle received in trade with Phyl21ca - thanks!
Appearance - Clear gold colour with an average size fizzy white coloured head. There is an above average amount of carbonation showing and there isn't much lacing. The head lasted for 2-3 minutes.
Smell - Breads/grains, grassy/herbal, corn, caramel
Taste & Mouth - There is a below average amount of carbonation and I can taste corn mixed with some grainy/herbal notes. There is also a bit of a grassiness and some buttery/caramel flavours mixed with some light hops. It ends with a buttery grainy aftertaste.
Overall - Mouthfeel needs some work but the beer has a nice flavour. The highlight is probably the scent. Good for the style but not something I'd be on the look out for in the future.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Bottle: Poured a clear bright golden color helles with a large pure white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of solid floral malt notes with light sugar notes and some light buttery notes. Taste is also a mix between some floral malt with quite sweet malt backbone with light buttery notes which are more or less pleasant. Body is full with somewhat of an oily texture with good carbonation. Interesting and easily drinkable though not sure such alcohol level is required and the buttery notes are a bit strong for my taste buds.

Thanks to Thirstybird for the opportunity to try this one. 500ml bottle served at 49 degrees in a pilsener glass. 02 05 12 indicated on the back label (I'm assuming this is a consume before date). Pours a translucent yellow-gold with a creamy, one inch bright white head. Tiny bubbles present in-solution effervesce to the underside of the cap. Head eventually disperses into a semi-conisstent skim - some spots of lacing, but no legs. Nose expresses fruity esters, a light grassiness and the merest suggestion of yeast. Taste follows nose - flavor profile is not at all cloying like some Maibocks in my experience. There's a really pleasant balance in the malt profile, light fruitiness and a crisp, unassuming hops character. Mouthfeel is light in body with an even and consistent carbonation and a kiss of acidity at the finish to cleanse the palate. Overall, a really solid brew - perhaps a little past its prime; perhaps not. That said, very pleasant and balanced without asserting itself too much. I'd love to try this beer on-draft.

Ordered these earrings in the lapis. The stones were nice - seemed to be good quality, but the post was not very sturdy. It bent easily when I tried to put the butterfly back on. It would only be a matter of time before it would break off the earring completely, so I sent them back.
very nice
Par Vickie
de BC
I have purchased 3 prs of these earrings and really like the size and quality of the stones. The silver work is very well done. I do however agree with other comments that the posts require care when putting on the backs but the warranty of free repair if purchased through TSC and the 1-800 number for customer sevice that Andrew mentions frequently on his shows gives me the confidence in my purchases.
pleasently surprised

I ordered the smokey quarts and love them. They were bigger than I expected and that was great.They are really nice and I will wear them often.
What a disappointment
Par operalover
de Halifax NS
I ordered two pairs and was anxious for the package to arrive. I was hoping that if I liked the size of the stone and its colour, I would go back and ordered several more pairs (I love earrings).My first impression was great. The stones were excellent quality and the size was just right. The silver work was classy and discreet. In short, these looked like great earrings which you would put on everyday.Unfortunately, the posts were so thin that the first time I tried to insert them they bent out of shape. Even though I am careful with my jewellery, I was afraid the post would break off after a few wearings.what a shame. I Am giving these earrings a two because of the stones and the silverwork, although I would not advise anyone to purchase them -- even at this reduced price.
Nice, simple earrings.
Par GLO
de FORT MCMURRAY
These earrings are great. Their size is perfect and the stones are beautiful. The only thing that needs improvement is the post - it is easily bent.
Amazing Stone
Par Special K
de Hamilton, Ontario
Bought earrings and ring in Labradorite. What a fantastic buy. I call this stone, my Canadian Opal, it has such movement of colour. I bought the earrings for my daughter, and I can tell you, I was very tempted to keep them. But once she saw them, I was out of luck! The ring I bought fits lovely on my hand. Every time I wear it, people ask me about the ring. It dances in the light!! Blues, yellows, grays.... I love this stone!!!!!

These earrings in garnet are beautiful. The stones are much bigger than I expected, clear and rich in colour.
Incredible Bargain
Par Sweet Love Lady
de Bolton, Ontario
I have been searching for black earrings for a few years now, and as soon as I saw them in onyx I snapped them up immediately. When they arrived I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of silver in these earrings, especially for this price. You can't get costume jewelery as good as this. I have been buying from Himalayan Gems for years and I have always been impressed by the quality and workmanship of their jewelery.
Love these!
Par Fran

I bought these to wear with a Himilayan Gema moonstone necklace with silver potay beads that I received as a gift. They are perfect - delicate yet stunning. Another amazing purchase from HG.
Great quality
Par Crash
de Kingston
These are a good size, but not heavy. The stones are great quality - Labradorite has great labradorescence and moonstone also has nice flashes of blue.
