HHRMC Lab Earns Accreditation
Monday, 26 February 2007
Hilton Head Regional Medical Center's Main Laboratory has been awarded an accreditation by the Commission on Laboratory Accreditation of the College of American Pathologists (CAP), based on the results of a recent on-site inspection.
The laboratory's director, Charles Lucas, MD was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the "excellence of the services provided." Hilton Head Regional Medical Center Laboratory is one of more than 6,000 CAP-accredited laboratories nationwide.
During the CAP accreditation process, inspectors examine the laboratory's records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also examine the entire staff's qualifications, the laboratory's equipment, facilities, safety program and record, as well as the overall management of the laboratory. This stringent inspection program is designed to specifically ensure the highest standard of care for the laboratory's patients.
The College of American Pathologists is a medical society serving nearly 16,000 physician members and the laboratory community throughout the world. It is the world's largest association composed exclusively of pathologists and is widely considered the leader in laboratory assurance. The CAP is an advocate for high-quality and cost-effective medical care.

Fedora Core 6 Test Drive
See what's new in Fedora Core 6 – the latest release of the Red Hat-based Fedora project.
The latest release of Red Hat's Fedora Core community distribution appeared at the end of October. Fedora Core 6 provides optical improvements, and some interesting developments inside, like optimization of dynamic libraries and enhanced integration of the Xen virtualization solution. You don't need to finish installation to find some of Fedora's new features: the Anaconda installer, which has been around since the early days of Red Hat, has a few changes. Anaconda started using the Yum API in Fedora Core 5, but now users can integrate third-party repositories at the install stage. This feature is useful for professional administrators, as it lets you integrate customized repositories. End users will be interested in other features of the new Fedora, such as support for Intel Macs.

Changing the default event time to all-day in Month View?
Ferd II Oak Harbor, Washington
I don't think that it is possible, even using Terminal. If you want to change your workflow, "all day" events can easily be created in the Day/Week view, but as you stated the Month view poses a problem.
Calendar Help says:
To make:
An event that lasts all day: In Day or Week view, double-click in the "All-day" section at the top of the calendar. An existing event last all day: In Day, Week, or Month view, double-click the event, click the date, then select "All-day." A multiday event: In Week view, drag from the start time to the end time. You can drag across multiple days. In Day or Month view, create an event. Then, enter the start and end dates and times.
An all-day event into a multiday event: In Week view, drag the all-day event across multiple days. How to Change the Default Duration of New iCal Events - The Mac Observer was written over a year ago, but it may give you some other ideas.

Thanks for the response, Ferd II. I actually saw that site and attempted to played around with the event duration, but to no avail. It's a shame that Apple removed the ability to create all-day events from Month view; it was the logical duration for an event made in this view. Thanks for the help anyways.

My situation also. Thanks for the question and reply. I completely agree with npatelaz. Scheduling all-day events is a monthly experience for me and it ought to be available, since it was possible before.

I came across this thread because I was searching to see if Mavericks would correct the problem of defaulting to "all-day", and if so, would be one more reason to update. 95% of my events are not "all-day".
Calendar Preferences should allow setting the default for "all-day".
Like (1)
I work in Monthly and use all-day a lot as well. My new workaround with this change is: create a new event not by clicking in the day, but by clicking the + or using command-N. Then type the day you're adding to (such as Nov 13) followed by your event. This method defaults to all day.

thanks for the information.
I followed your reccomendation to the letter.
I believe the hard drive is a 500gb, with 360gb free.
There seemed to be no problems discovered or encountered by repair disk application.
Things are still the same as before. I am using the computer in question to type this, but I can still only use only program at a time. I got a notice there was an upgrade for itunes, told it to upgrade and things froze until I held the power button and rebooted.
Could the hard drive be bad and not show bad in the repairdisk?
I have read elsewhere that there is/was/may be an issue with the OS 10.5 upgrade, could that be it?
I bought the computer directly from apple, the battery swelled up to about 4 times the thickness a while back and i operate the computer w/o a battery using the wall plug, could this be part of the problem?
I am becomming disenchanted with the quality of apple products. I have this 17" MBP, a 13" ibook g4, a time capsule, an iphone 3g and none of them work. I have over 5k in these. I take very good care of my possesions. It burns me that I cannot get them to work without giving more money. At least windows machines are cheap enough to throw away when they go bad. (I still have a compaq 8086 I bought in 1984 and IT works) Sorry for the rant. I just get frustrated.

Thank you for the continued help.
I ran the AHT in the default mode and it said it was ok. I then ran it in the extended testing mode. I started it about an hour ago and now the screen says Testing memory PassNumber 2, total testing time 18mins 54secs. The time hasnt changed for the last 10 minutes or so. The pointer still moves with the trackpad but things seem to be unresponsive. I'm just gonna let it perk for a while and see if anything changes.
I haven't heard any wierd noises- more from the fan, not much of any noise from the hard drive.
If the hard drive is ok, what else would I look at? Could it be some sort of software issue? Ill Logicboard? Aliens?
I have noticed that at the login screen if i try to log into my "clean" admin account it freezes. I have to log into my everday account (with full admin priv).

Well thats what led me here to you folks.
I took it to an authourized apple computer repair place. They charged me, told me it was the memory, and all was fixed. I specifically asked up front if this was all or would it need something else after the first cash installment. No they said. I believed them. Imagine my chagrin.
So now I'm trying to see if I can diagnose this problem myself, and if it would be more cost effective to fix it or buy a new machine.

I thought you might like to know what finally happened, it has a happy ending.
As I was pulling out what little hair I have left trying to figure out "what next?" I spied an external hard drive sitting up on the shelf I had used for 16 track recording. I plugged it in to my laptop, installed the OS, endured endless hours of various upgrades, now it boots from the external drive and all is groovy.
I ran the disc utility on the internal drive again, this time from the external drive not the install disc. It found some volume errors and said it repaired them. Then I ran the check permission and it listed about 20 or so pernissions that were wrong and an unexpected ACL. I have the log if you want to see it, not sure if its important or not. Any way - I disconnected the external drive and rebooted from the internal and got the same old problem. I suspect it is toast or at least browning - I am backing it up to external and will get a new internal drive.
Thanks for all your help. May the gods smile upon you.

MacBook Pro Resale Value
I was wondering around what I could get as a resale value for this Macbook Pro.
It is a 15 inch MacBook Pro (mid-2012) MD103ll/a. The specs are 2.3 GHZ Intel Core i7 Processor, and has been upgraded with 8GB of RAM and a 256GB Crucial M4 SSD. It was bought in August of 2012 and will come with the original box and all original accessories. Cosmetically, it is in perfect condition except a minor dent in the aluminum of the top right hand corner of the screen. Besides that there are no scratches or markings anywhere else and has been in a case. The battery has 100% health and the keyboard has always been protected with a keyboard cover, so they keys show no signs of wear. I'm considering upgrading the MacBook Pro Retina and just wanted to know what I would be able to get out of this one. Thanks! -Bobby |

Oh okay I guess that sounds about right. I had sort of an estimate but I wasn't sure how much it would increase because of the SSD and decrease with the dent.

Nov 26, 2012, 06:30 PM | #5 |
With a mint condition, the top value is about 1600-1700. (If you are lucky enough to sell at that price, then do it immediately)
With the dent, that would probably decrease a lot, since the body exchange can cost quite a lot. I would say that is a $200 off the original value. That SSD itself wouldn't add much value, especially come with the laptop. I would suggest sell the SSD separately to get more money back.

I'd say $1600 because of the dent. You have to realize that most people will buy Apple refurbs or use a student discount, so that should be accounted for. And in my experience, if they're not saving more than $200 off of refurb price they won't go for it. So subtract $200 from the refurb price to be more competitive.

Banff Ave. Brewing Company
June 15, 2012
We had a quick lunch at this microbrewery, located on the second floor of the clock tower in the middle of Banff. We saw poutine on the menu and though we were in the wrong province for authenticity, we took the opportunity to try the quintessential Quebec dish: French fries sprinkled with cheese curds and covered in brown gravy. It's better than it sounds!
More fitting for the province of Alberta were the bison hamburgers and salmon "burgers" on the menu (classic beef burgers were available, also, of course). Sandwiches, salads, hot wings and other inventively-named choices filled out a standard pub-fare menu.
Several in our group shared a sampler tray of the microbrewery's concoctions, brewed from premium hops and malts combined with the pub's own cultured yeast strains, using natural (chlorine-free) mountain water from the surrounding Canadian Rockies.
You can feel confident recommending this cute, casual lunch spot to clients who would enjoy trying local beer and want to explore the town of Banff and the many boutique shops that line the village's main street.

118 Yale L.J. 2 (2008).
This Article argues that courts can, and often should, implement constitutional guarantees by crafting doctrines that raise the costs to government decisionmakers of enacting constitutionally problematic policies. This indirect approach may implement a kind of implicit balancing of interests, in which the damage to constitutional values is weighed against the strength of the government's interest in the challenged policy, more effectively than alternative approaches. When the government has better information than the reviewing court about the effect of the challenged policy on constitutionally relevant interests, heightened enactment costs act as a kind of screening device: if the government would still enact a given policy in the face of substantial additional enactment costs, the probability that the policy serves significant government interests is likely to be higher. This Article first develops the theoretical argument as to how (and under what conditions) doctrines that manipulate legislative enactment costs may be more effective tools for judicial implementation of the Constitution than doctrines that require direct judicial assessment of the relative strength of the competing interests. The Article further contends that the federal judiciary already has the capacity to fashion doctrines that function in this way, and indeed current doctrine influences legislative enactment costs more than has generally been appreciated.
118 Yale L.J. 64 (2008).
Who should ensure that statutes are interpreted to reflect background norms left unaddressed by Congress—norms like respect for the rights of regulated parties, protection of the interests of states and Native American tribes, avoidance of government bias, and the separation of powers? On the one hand, courts have traditionally sought to protect these constitutionally inspired values by applying "normative" canons of construction. On the other hand, after the Supreme Court's Chevron decision, authority to interpret unclear regulatory statutes generally belongs not to judges, but to agencies. This question has polarized courts and commentators. A majority, including the Supreme Court, adopts a categorical approach in which canons "trump" Chevron, displacing the agency's interpretive role altogether. A minority, including the Ninth Circuit, concludes the opposite: that courts should not apply canons, but instead should leave full interpretive discretion to agencies. This Article rejects both categorical approaches and proposes an alternate analytic framework. It argues that whether an agency policy comports with background norms should be considered as part of Chevron's case-by-case, step-two inquiry into whether the policy is reasonable. Unlike the categorical approaches, this context-sensitive solution creates incentives for robust agency norm protection in the first instance, but also permits courts to apply normative canons independently when administrative decisionmaking either offers little advantage, or fails to account for the background values it implicates. This solution also cabins judicial discretion to resolve broader policy questions and compels courts to be clearer about when, and why, different canonic formulations should apply and the implications for agency input. In sum, it best enlists the capacity of the administrative state to promote accountable and informed deliberation on the balance between regulatory goals and norms of constitutional dimension.
118 Yale L.J. 126 (2008).
In the United States, corporations—as entities—can be criminally tried and convicted for crimes committed by individual directors, managers, and even low-level employees. From a comparative perspective, such corporate liability marks the United States as relatively unique. Few other Western countries impose entity liability, and those that do impose such liability comparatively infrequently and under the threat of far less serious punishment. The question of why the United States—and the United States virtually alone—imposes corporate criminal liability has been the subject of limited scholarly attention. This Note seeks to fill that void through the prism of comparative law. Using Germany—a country that imposes no corporate criminal liability—as a foil, this Note argues that the American doctrine can best be explained not through criminal theory but rather through criminal procedure. American criminal procedure imposes unique difficulties on American investigators and prosecutors seeking to root out individual white-collar criminals. But it also imparts powers to those prosecutors that are unknown to their German counterparts. Among them is the power to threaten criminal indictment, one that allows prosecutors to force American corporations to cooperate, to waive the attorney-client privilege, and to cut ties to individual employees under investigation, thereby facilitating the prosecution of those individual defendants. Using differences in criminal procedure rather than criminal theory to explain the uniquely American doctrine, this Note concludes by suggesting how the criminal procedure approach can best be used to understand—and potentially to reform—an American system that critics increasingly decry as broken.

Haiku Laconic Main PlayingWith Quotes main index Narrative
The moment when an established TV show changes in a significant manner in an attempt to stay fresh. Ironically, that moment makes the viewers realize that the show's finally run out of ideas. It's reached its peak, it'll never be the same again, and from now on it's all downhill.
This expression originates from the episode of Happy Days in which Fonzie, dressed in his trademark leather jacket, literally jumps over a shark on water-skis during an episode shot on location.

Top 10 players of Gridiron Glory: #5 Darrius Spivey-NunnWhen you talk about a player who does it all, look no further than Paducah Tilghman's Darrius Spivey-Nunn. The four year starter wows coaches on the offensive side of the ball every week. "He may be one of the better receivers on this end of the state," said Caldwell County head coach David Barnes. But he's not just a receiver, Spivey-Nunn also returns kicks, and coaches say he's actually best on the defensive side of the ball as a cornerback or safety. "For Paducah Tilghman to play a kid on both sides of the ball, you know he's special," admitted Trigg County head coach Coby Lewis. "He's just so intelligent back there," said Paducah Tilghman head coach Randy Wyatt. "Those types of kids are very few and far between in high school, where you can pretty much eliminate the other team's best wide receiver with your best defensive back," said Brad Lawson, Calloway County's head football coach. So it would come at no surprise to see Spivey-Nunn playing at the next level. "He just keeps getting better," said Graves County head coach Lance Gregory. "I think he's a potential division one prospect." "I think that somebody out there, if they're not recruiting him right now, they need to get on board with him because he's that type of player," Lawson said.

Does anyone know what this error is and how to fix it "Error 0x80070522: A required privilege is not held by the client."? I keep getting this error when I try and save anything to my flash drive and it never did it until a couple of weeks ago and I'm not sure why it started doing it to begin with. I tried changing all of the permissions under the security tab but it didn't do anything either. I am not wanting to format it because I have Windows 8 togo installed on it. Is there anyway of fixing this without having to format? Thanks in advance.
Help please

You mentioned this error occurs when you save stuff to your flash drive... does it also happen when you read stuff from it? If not, the obvious solution is to copy the drive's contents to a safe location on your disk, format, and then copy back the content into the drive, where it belongs. If a low-level format does not fix this, try booting into a Linux live-cd and try and reproduce the error - if it doesn't work, there could be something wrong with the flash drive's firmware, otherwise you've messed up permissions on Windows.
In any case, you want to narrow down the problem to better identify its source.

< Return To Hearing
The Honorable Patrick Leahy
United States Senator
Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy, Hearing on Nominations Despite Republican filibusters and their refusal to give consent to proceed even on important bills with broad bipartisan support, I have, nonetheless, again gone the extra mile by proceeding with yet another confirmation hearing for the President's nominees. This hearing includes the President's nominee to be Solicitor General, which will bring to near completion our work at expediting consideration of replacements for the entire leadership of the Justice Department that resigned in the wake of the scandals of the Gonzales era. This hearing also includes five additional judicial nominations, which, if confirmed, are lifetime appointments. Their tenure will not expire when President Bush leaves office in five months. This is extremely late in a presidential election year for such a hearing and serves as an exception under the Thurmond Rule. That rule dates back to 1980, when Republican Senator Strom Thurmond was the Ranking Minority Member of this Committee, and called for shutting down the judicial confirmation process. At the time, there was a Democratic President and Senator Thurmond wanted to wait until the next President, a Republican, was elected and had the opportunity to send his nominations to the Senate. Republicans used the Thurmond Rule in another recent presidential election year, 1996, when the Republican Senate majority did not confirm a single judge after the August recess and, in fact, refused to confirm any circuit court nominees during the entire 1996 session. This Congress has already confirmed more judges than were confirmed during the entire 109th Congress, when a Republican Senate majority and Republican chairman of this Committee did not have to worry about the Thurmond Rule and an abbreviated session due to a presidential election. Indeed, in the 37 months I have served as Judiciary chairman, the Senate has already confirmed 158 of President Bush's judicial nominees. That is the same number of President Bush's nominees confirmed by the Senate Republican majority in the more than four years it controlled the pace of confirmations for this Republican administration. I have long said that by this stage of the year I will be working with the Majority Leader, as well as our Republican counterparts, in order to be able to proceed. At this juncture, during a presidential election year, progress on judicial nominees requires consensus and the cooperation of all Senators. Today the Committee is poised to hear from five more nominees for lifetime appointments to the Federal bench: Clark Waddoups of Utah, Michael Anello of California, Mary Stenson Scriven of Florida, and two nominees from Colorado, Christine Arguello and Phillip A. Brimmer. All of these nominees have the support of their home state Senators, Republicans and Democrats. I was happy to accommodate Senator Salazar's request that we add two Colorado nominees to the hearing today, after he and Senator Allard reached an agreement. Yesterday, Senator Allard finally returned the blue slip for Ms. Arguello. Of course, Ms. Arguello was nominated by President Clinton to the 10th Circuit, but a Republican pocket filibuster in 2000 stalled her nomination. Today, we are attempting to right another wrong from the Republican abuses of those years. Ms. Arguello, like Judge Helene White, who was confirmed to the 6th Circuit earlier this year, has now been nominated by Presidents of both parties. I am hopeful that we can complete the consideration of her nomination promptly. If Committee consideration of today's nominees is expedited, if the nominations are not held over, but can be reported promptly to the Senate, and if there are no delays in their floor consideration, then they can be confirmed before we recess later this month. By hearing from the President's nominee to be Solicitor General, Greg Garre, we continue with the extensive time and attention we have devoted to rebuilding the Department of Justice. This is the ninth hearing we have held to restock and restore the leadership of the Department of Justice in the last year alone, including confirmation hearings for the new Attorney General, the new Deputy Attorney General, the new Associate Attorney General, and so many others. At the beginning of this Congress, the Judiciary Committee began its oversight efforts. Over the next nine months, our efforts revealed a Department of Justice gone awry. The leadership crisis came more and more into view as I led a bipartisan group of concerned Senators to consider the United States Attorney firing scandal, a confrontation over the legality of the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, the untoward political influence of the White House at the Department of Justice, and the secret legal memos excusing all manner of excess and subverting the rule of law. What our efforts exposed was a crisis of leadership that took a heavy toll on the tradition of independence that has long guided the Justice Department and provided it with safe harbor from political interference. It shook the confidence of the American people. Through bipartisan efforts among those from both sides of the aisle who care about federal law enforcement and the Department of Justice, we joined together to press for accountability. That resulted in a change in leadership at the Department, with the resignations of the Attorney General and virtually all of its highest-ranking officials. The two reports we have received so far from the Department's Inspector General and Office of Professional Responsibility have confirmed what our oversight efforts in this Congress have uncovered about the politicization of hiring practices at the Department. It confirms our findings and our fears that the same senior Department officials involved with the firing of United States Attorneys were injecting improper political motives into the process of hiring attorneys for career positions throughout the Department, from career prosecutors, to immigration judges, to young attorneys through the Department's prestigious honors program. I suspect the further reports we expect from the Inspector General will continue to shed light on the extent to which the Bush administration has allowed politics to affect - and infect - the Department's priorities, from law enforcement to the operation of the crucial Civil Rights Division. I hope that Mr. Garre shares my view that it is vital to ensure that we have a functioning, independent Justice Department, and that we ensure that this sad era in the history of the Department is not repeated. We have seen what happens when the rule of law plays second fiddle to a President's agenda and the partisan desires of political operatives. It is a disaster for the American people. Both the President and the nation are best served by a Justice Department that provides sound advice and takes responsible action, without regard to political considerations -- not one that develops legalistic loopholes and ideological litmus tests to serve the partisan ends of a particular administration. I am holding these proceedings in spite of the legislative obstructionism from Republicans. The Judiciary Committee has worked throughout this Congress to advance the priorities of Americans. We have reported legislation to support local law enforcement to make our cities and towns safe from crime, which is on the rise after consistent declines in the 1990s. These legislative efforts include the COPS Improvements Act, S.368, and my bill to extend the Bulletproof Vest Partnership Grant Act, S.2511. We have reported legislation to combat fraud and corruption, like the War Profiteering Prevention Act, S.119, and the Public Corruption Prosecution Improvements Act, S.1946. We have reported legislation to protect the civil rights and voting rights of Americans, like the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crime Act, S.535, and Senator Obama's Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act of 2007, S.453. We have reported legislation to protect Americans' data privacy, like my Personal Data Privacy and Security Act, S.495. We have reported measures to provide the Federal judiciary with increased resources both in terms of salary restoration and additional judgeships, S.1638 and S.2774. We have reported intellectual property measures like the Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act, S.2913. And, of course, we have reported the bill to confront the OPEC cartel, NOPEC, S.879. I have also been seeking for months to find a way to extend the EB-5 investor visa pilot program that brings benefits not only to Vermont but to Pennsylvania and Iowa, and elsewhere. Authority for this worthwhile program that leads to investments here in the United States expires in September. My efforts to clear H.R. 5569, a bill to extend the program for five years, have been stymied by Republicans who insist on using this bill as a vehicle for other immigration-related matters. They have ensnarled it in a series of competing concerns. I look forward to a time when Republicans work with us on these matters instead of obstructing us at every turn. Legislation with broad bipartisan support that I have managed to move through the Judiciary Committee has then been stalled on the Senate floor by the obstruction of a few Republicans. Of the bills that have been reported from the Judiciary Committee this Congress, Republicans have blocked legislation to support runaway and homeless young people, S.2982; to help law enforcement cope with mentally-ill offenders, S.2304; to support the investigation and prosecution of Civil Rights Era murders left unsolved for too long, S.535; and to protect our children from the scourges of drugs, child pornography, and child exploitation, such as S.1210, S.1738 and S.2344. I joined the Majority Leader in introducing a measure that combined some of these Committee-approved and House-passed bipartisan measures into one bill, S.3297. These should have been consent items and already been considered and passed by the Senate. Instead, they fell victim to another Republican filibuster. Republicans have become masters of obstruction, boycotting business meetings of the Judiciary Committee and cutting short important hearings, including a hearing at which two courageous women from Pennsylvania testified about severe injuries they suffered to help us understand the plight of hardworking Americans whose legitimate grievances have been rejected by a pro-business Supreme Court. Sadly, we have seen Republican obstructionism since the beginning of this Congress, with Republicans using filibuster after filibuster to thwart the will of the majority of the Senate from doing the business of the American people. Republican filibusters prevented Senate majorities from passing the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act; the climate change bill; the Employee Free Choice Act; the DC Voting Rights Act; the Renewable Fuels, Consumer Protection, and Energy Efficiency Act of 2007; the Renewable Energy and Job Creation Act of 2008; the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008; the Consumer-First Energy Act and the Advancing America's Priorities Act. These are critical pieces of legislation to address urgent priorities like ensuring equal pay for equal work for women and fare wages for all working Americans, the energy crisis, the environment, voting rights, health care and law enforcement needs. All of them had the support of the majority of the Senate. And all were blocked by a minority of Republican Senators bent on preventing us from making progress. Republicans have now filibustered more than 80 pieces of legislation in this Congress and are heading for 100 before we adjourn. Imagine what we could have accomplished in this Congress with cooperation rather than obstruction. This long list of priorities unaddressed because of the Republicans in Congress would be even longer if we were to include the many important bills President Bush has vetoed since the beginning of this Congress. This list includes legislation to fund stem cell research to fight debilitating and deadly diseases, to extend and expand the successful State Children's Health Insurance Program that would have provided health insurance to more of the millions of American children without it, to set a timetable for bringing American troops home from the disastrous war in Iraq, and to ban waterboarding and help restore America as a beacon for the rule of law. I have always said that we would treat this President's nominees more fairly than Republicans treated President Clinton's. Despite their legislative obstruction, we have. Indeed, we have matched the confirmation record that Republicans achieved for a President from their own party. We have not pocket filibustered more than 60 of this President's nominees. We are not going to return 17 circuit court nominees without action to this President as the Republican-led Senate did to President Clinton. We have not doubled the judicial vacancies and forced them above 100 nationwide, nor have we doubled the number of circuit court vacancies. To the contrary, we have cut judicial vacancies by more than half, and reduced circuit court vacancies by more than two-thirds from a high point of 32, to a low of single digits throughout all 13 Federal circuits. The 100 nominations we confirmed in only 17 months in 2001 and 2002, while working with a most uncooperative White House, reduced the vacancies by 45 percent by the end of 2002. With 40 additional confirmations last year, and another 18 already this year, we have already exceeded the total confirmations for the last Congress, which was under Republican majority control. Nearly half of the judicial nominees the Senate has confirmed while I have served as the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee have filled vacancies classified by the Administrative Office of the Courts as judicial emergency vacancies. Eighteen of the 27 circuit court nominees confirmed while I have chaired the Committee filled judicial emergency vacancies, including nine of the 10 circuit court nominees confirmed this Congress. This is another aspect of the problem created by Republicans that we have worked hard to improve. When President Bush took office there were 28 judicial emergency vacancies. Those have been reduced by more than half. We have reduced Federal judicial vacancies from the 10 percent level they hit after Republican pocket filibusters of President Clinton's nominees, to less than half that number. With respect to the circuit courts, we have done even better. We have moved from the 32 circuit court vacancies that arose from years of Republican pocket filibusters of President Clinton's moderate and qualified nominees and more than doubled the circuit court vacancies nationwide to less than 10 earlier this summer. Thus, we have reduced circuit court vacancies by more than two thirds. Partisan Republican critics ignore the progress we have made on judicial vacancies. They also ignore the crisis that they had created by not considering circuit nominees in 1996, 1997 and 1998. They ignore the fact that they refused to confirm a single circuit nominee during the entire 1996 session. They ignore the fact that they returned 17 circuit court nominees without action to the White House in 2000. They ignore the public criticism of Chief Justice Rehnquist to their actions during those years. They ignore the fact that they were responsible for more than doubling circuit court vacancies during their pocket filibusters of moderate and qualified Clinton nominees or that we have reduced those circuit court vacancies by more than two thirds. I have yet to hear praise from a single Republican for our work in lowering vacancies. I also have yet to hear in the Republican talking points any explanation for their actions during the congressional session in the 1996 presidential election year, when the Republican Senate majority refused to allow the Senate to confirm even one circuit court judge. I have yet to hear explanations for why they did not proceed with the nominations of Bonnie Campbell, Allen Snyder and so many others. There are currently 10 judicial vacancies without a nominee, even though the White House has in the last weeks rushed forward with a number of new nominations on which the paperwork has yet even to be completed. Eleven judicial nominations had yet to be reviewed by the ABA when we noticed the hearing on September 2nd. Currently eighteen do not have blue slips or support from both their home state Senators. No nominations received after June 6 were confirmed when the Republicans were in charge in 1996. Following that standard would eliminate 18 recent nominees, more than half of all those pending. Instead, working with Senators from both parties we are proceeding today with the nomination of Mary Stenson Scriven of Florida. The reduction in judicial vacancies is one of the few areas in which conditions have actually improved over the last couple of year. I wish we could say the same about unemployment, the cost of gasoline, food prices, health care costs, inflation, the credit crisis, home mortgages and the national debt, but all those indicators have been moving in the wrong direction, as is consumer confidence and the percentage of Americans who see the country as on the wrong track. Just last week unemployment was reported at 6.1 percent. It is much higher in some communities. Americans have suffered through job losses every month this year and they now exceed 600,000. The day-to-day lives of hardworking Americans have only become more difficult during the last several years. The Treasury Secretary has been quite sobering about the financial difficulties still ahead. Thousands of Americans are in danger of losing their homes after falling behind on mortgage payments. Inflation is now on the rise, jobs are being lost, gas and food prices have skyrocketed, health care and college are less affordable, the American dream of owning a home is under assault -- and yet we can expect Republicans to pick a partisan fight about judicial confirmations, an area in which we have done better than they have, even with this Republican President, and where we have taken great strides to fix the system they broke. Hardworking Americans trying to do the best they can for their families are more concerned about critical issues they face in their lives each day. They are concerned about affording to heat their homes this winter. They are concerned about gas prices that have skyrocketed so high they do not know how they will afford to drive to work. They are concerned about the steepest decline in home values in two decades. Americans are worried about soaring health care costs, rising health insurance costs, the rising costs of education and rising food prices. The partisan, election-year rhetoric over judicial nominations, at a time when judicial vacancies have been significantly reduced, is a reflection of misplaced Republican priorities. I look forward to hearing from the nominees today. The Federal judiciary is the one arm of our government that should never be political or politicized, regardless of who sits in the White House. I will continue in this Congress, and with a new President in the next Congress, to work with Senators from both sides of the aisle to ensure that the Federal judiciary remains independent, and able to provide justice to all Americans, without fear or favor.

weekend DIY
We have had many weekend projects lately, but this one was really fun and easy. I had seen some mason jar lights when we were in Portland, and I was inspired to make my own for my studio. I was going to use wide mouth quart jars so they would fit larger lights, but I couldn't find them, they were sold out. I decided to go to my favorite thrift store, where I had seen lots and lots of vintage jars. We went, and I found these really unique vintage blue glass jars. I have never seen any jars with a shape like this, and trust me, I've seen a lot of jars. We also found some really amazing clear vintage jars, but the shape of the blue ones really struck me. And for 2.50 apiece it was practically a crime how inexpensive they were.
We then had to find bulbs that would be skinny enough to fit. I found some bulbs meant for display cases, and they were the perfect shape. We used the light bases from ikea that were up before, which have an attachment to rest shades. Tyler cut a hole in a lid with a screwdriver and a hammer, and we slipped those over and then just screwed the jars in. It was really so simple.
I love the light, it really works great, and isn't really blue, as I thought it might be. The vintage glass with its bubbles and imperfections create beautiful light streaks on my new white walls.
*update: I was searching online, and these jars seem to be made before 1910. wow. I might have to go back and pick up that one other jar that I didn't get.
my home,
vintage finds

where did you get the bulbs....I think they add intrest to the lights. BUT I don't remember ever seeing any bulbs like that around here.
firstname.lastname@example.com I was also wondering if the glass jars get hot... do you have a hole in the glass anywhere? Also I can't find the colored jars anywhere in my town, so I want to tint them myself. I'm afraid the tint won't work well with a glass jar that gets too hot. I suppose I could use a low watt, but then again I want the lights to light up my breakfast bar!!

Iowa City Council Talks Buildings, Bags & BirdsBy Mark Carlson, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa - Dozens of people jammed into the Iowa City council chambers to discuss a redevelopment project at Gilbert and College streets Tuesday night. Later this month the city council is expected to allow one independent developer to move forward with their plan for the area. Five finalists were chosen by city staff last month.
Of the finalists, one includes a movie theater and bowling ally, while the other four would include the New Pioneer Co-Op grocery store. All include apartments of various sizes. The proposed buildings range in height from five to 20 stories tall. So many people attended Tuesday's meeting that overflow crowds watched on TV sets in two locations. Representatives from New Pioneer Co-Op told the council that the site would be vital to their future in downtown, as they continue to search for a new location. Independent film enthusiasts urged the council to support the 20-story building with a movie theater, citing data that shows widespread interest. Other council notes, the city continues to move forward with a plan to allow urban chickens. The council passed a zoning measure Tuesday night, next up members will discuss policy, meaning urban chickens could be in backyards by this spring. The council also struck down a request to ban plastic grocery bags in Iowa City. Conversation GuidelinesBe KindDon't use abusive, offensive, threatening, racist, vulgar or sexually-oriented language.

New Frank Black album
Hey if any of you out there are Frank Black fans you may want to check out his new album "Honeycomb"
I really like it. here are a few reviews... Album Mini-Review: (from rhapsody) The Pixies frontman dives deep into roots-rock waters on Honeycomb, an album recorded down in the warm, musical atmosphere of Nashville. Recorded with legendary session men like Steve Cropper and Spooner Oldham, the album crackles and burns with old-time soul, especially on Dan Penn's "Dark End Of The Street." - Jon Pruett ______________________________________________ Betty Clarke Friday July 15, 2005 The Guardian Frank Black - Honeycomb Just before the Pixies began their reunion tour in 2004, Frank Black holed up in Nashville, surrounded himself with legendary session musicians and recorded his first solo album for eight years. Guaranteed to confound those still wallowing in the glorious resurrection of the shrieking, screaming Black Francis, he's discovered a mellow maturity in Southern soul - and without losing his punk rock perversity or poetry. Against a wash of guitars, simple harmonies and keyboards, his voice glides from bitter-sweet on Selkie Bride to shiver-inducing on Dark End of the Street, accompanied by songwriters Dan Penn and Spooner Oldham. Other covers, including the unlikely Song of the Shrimp from Elvis Presley's 1962 film Girls! Girls! Girls!, melt against Black's own songs without disturbing the warm, timeless mood. Strange Goodbye, for instance, a duet sung with Black's ex-wife, Jean, is a poignant snapshot of marital breakdown. But he sums up his stunning new direction best on Lone Child when he sings: "I'm not full of your hate, I'm full of my grace." _______________________________________________ www.fasterlouder.com Frank Black - Honeycomb Frank Black in solo mode has returned with the release of Honeycomb his first solo effort since 1996s The Cult of Ray. This heavily country-soaked album was recorded in just four days in Nashville with an impressive backing band. Additionally, it was also days before Frank Blacks commencement of the hugely anticipated Pixies reunion shows of 2004. The mood of this release is relaxed, even mellow at times. Still present though is Blacks quirky lyrics but with a more contemplative air. Not present is the typical Frank Black holler. The roster of band members featured on Honeycomb reads like a blues-funk-soul dream team. United are some formidable figures who bring together histories from Stax Records, Muscle Shoals and American Studios - to name just a few. Featured in this band is the highly-esteemed guitarist and songwriter, Steve Cropper. His credentials are numerous but notably he was a co-writer and band member with Otis Redding plus a founding member of Booker T & The MGs. The producer of Honeycomb is Jon Tiven who himself has worked with Wilson Pickett, B.B. King and Robert Plant. Frank Black obviously relished this opportunity of a lifetime - he has even stated on record his total admiration of their collective talent. The opening track of Honeycomb is Seikie Bride which suitably sets an easy-going pace for the start of this country-bound journey. Its then followed by the first single, I Burn Today - which as per usual with Blacks crafting of love songs, it seemingly never fails to sparkle. There are also three interesting choices of cover versions, namely Dark End of The Street, Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day and Song Of The Shrimp (from the Elvis Presley film, Girls, Girls, Girls). The tempo of Honeycomb is picked up slightly when Strange Goodbye swings around. It features a duet with Frank Blacks ex-wife, for whom this particular tune was also penned. So, dont be fooled by the rumours that it was Courtney Love - she could never sing with such a wholesome-sounding country twang. The title track, Honeycomb, possesses subtle reminders of a signature Pixies tune but without the in-your-face volume and snarl. The lyrics comically highlight the big mamas boy that resides deep inside Frank Black. The old churchyard, Is where I faded, She watched me while, I fell unaided, And in my time, When God's army came and got me I could not find my honeycomb In his usually obtuse manner, religion still heavily peppers Blacks lyrics too. It is evident in tracks like Honeycomb as well as Go Find Your Saint and Sing For Joy. Personal standout numbers include My Life Is In Storage, an ultimate song for those in the process of moving (literally or metaphorically) and Violet with its lyric of Violets the chakra for me, Violets the flower for me . In his first solo release since 1996, Frank Black is in laid-back country mode. He is accompanied by a sterling band and producer who bring with them notable blues and soul music credentials. The pace of this album is easy-does-it with occasional views of an abstract plain coming through. Its a sunny collection of songs with Blacks typically unique lyrical stylings. Overall, Honeycomb makes for perfect country-driving music.
