Obama does not have the constitutional authority to create any sort of new visa for illegal aliens. That job is specifically assigned to the Congress by the US Constitution.Any legalization program should only be open to proven longtime illegal aliens who have no criminal records.The legalization program should grant qualified illegal aliens who are otherwise admissible to the USA a conditional or probationary indefinite immigration status as long as they obey US law, that allows them to stay, to work, and to travel internationally. They should not be allowed to bring foreign family members here, and should not be deemed eligible for other then emergency public assistance, benefits and services.If those legalized aliens wish sometime in the future to become permanent residents (green card holders) they should first, just like all legal immigrants must do, qualify for an immigrant visa. Once granted permanent residence they should be able to bring certain family members, spouses and minor children here, just like all other permanent residents, and become eligible for government benefits and services that are open to all other permanent residents.If those aliens wish sometime in the future to become US citizens, they should have to meet all the requirements that all other permanent residents must meet. Once granted US citizenship, they will be able to bring other foreign relatives here, and be able to vote just like all other US citizens.Former President of Mexico Vicente Fox always used to advise that the millions of Mexicans living and working illegally in the USA just want to be able to live here, to be able to work here with dignity, and be able to travel back and forth to Mexico as they wish.

Yes but the user has to select the option to filter by country and Google's filter by country performance is not that good. Many US and Canadian cities and towns also have British equivalents and these results can often show up in the SERPs.
What I had in mind was a search engine with just UK and UK targeted websites so that the user could actually find what they wanted without the frustration of excluding out of area results. The initial set would be about 4 million .UK sites and a similar number of gTLD sites. A process that I've developed would cull spam/PPC parked and holding pages (this would significantly reduce the size of the initial set) from this set automatically so that even the early version of the SE would have relatively good content. The main problem at the moment is scalability.
And I am somewhat familiar with the way UK domains are sold. I certainly track a lot of them. :)

Righton is a keyboard player for the rock group Klaxons. He and

role as Elizabeth Bennet in an adaptation of Jane Austen's "Pride

Determinants of old-age mortality in Taiwan (HTML)
Zimmer,Zachary; Martin,Linda G.; Lin,Hui-Sheng
Social Science and Medicine 60(3): 457-470
Publication date: 2005
Relationships among socio-demographic characteristics, general assessments of health, and old-age mortality have been well established in developed countries. There is also increasing focus on the connection between early-life experiences and late-life health. This study tests these and other associations using representative survey data from Taiwan. Survey data on the 60 and over population (N=4049) in 1989, 1993, and 1996 are linked to 1989-1999 data from a national death registry. Survival is modeled using Gompertz regression and both fixed and time-varying covariates. Possible effects of Taiwan's Universal Health Insurance Program are tested by coding observations as pre- or post-insurance. Some results replicate findings from developed countries; others are new. Contemporaneous education effects on survival are attenuated after introducing some indicators of health from a previous period. Functional and global assessments of health have stronger associations with survival than reports of other health-related characteristics. Mainlanders have higher survival than others. Increases in survival over the 1990s were concentrated among those with the greatest number and severity of functional limitations. This pattern may be an indication of better access to health care or changes in longer-run, but unmeasured, determinants of old-age mortality.

Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #0
A comic review article by: Chris Kiser, Jamil Scalese, Shawn HillChris Kiser:
Jamil Scalese:
Shawn Hill:
Chris: Because Marvel and DC never met an event story they didn't want to smother in its crib with superfluous prelude, here we are once again doing that icky, gropey dance with Avengers vs. X-Men. Who needs narrative integrity -- or even logical internal consistency -- when you can nab an extra buck off all those over-eager fans who want to check out where the story really begins? Over the years, this dubious publishing practice has earned us such timeless gems of sequential art as Countdown to Infinite Crisis, Countdown to Final Crisis, Road to Civil War, Road to Flashpoint, Prelude to Schism and Avengers: X-Sanction, just to name way too many. And now, as if that last one wasn't enough to pave the way for the latest tale to end all tales, we've got Avengers vs. X-Men #0.
Hey, kids! This is where the story really, really begins!
Jamil: I'm a sucker. Can't deny that. I've been sapped into too many of these types of nonessential tie-ins and preludes to pretend not to be the exact guy Marvel is targeting with AvX #0. A last-second impulse buy, I grabbed this off the shelf thinking it would supplement a series I will more than likely be reading 12 times over the next half year. Unfortunately, this fell sinfully short of providing me much outside a few pieces of background info on Scarlet Witch and Hope.
I get the never-ending push to bring in new readers and make them comfortable in the layered world of the Marvel universe, but jeez, do we need to rehash simple, generally known facts every single time?
Shawn: Guys, I'm going to be the positive voice of reason here, clearly (and definitely another sucker like Jamil). Nothing shocks me more considering that Bendis is writing the Scarlet Witch section. To give you my context (regardless of marketing tie-ins or any payola opportunities I may covet), as Ray Tate is to Batgirl, I am to Scarlet Witch. So, in recent years, I've been reduced to collecting her only for covers alone (much in the same way I buy any comic with Polaris on the cover; the character may not inspire amazing stories, but that Steranko costume keeps giving as good as the day it was designed). And this issue is a pretty good one, worthy of wall display, a non-salacious Frank Cho cover offering Wanda as some sort of proctectress enshrouding Hope. I take it as a strong hint of where the story might be going.
Summer marketing events, yes, I'm usually around for those. Fear Itself underwhelmed, I suppose, but Siege was pretty good, and this one at least has a sort of high-concept inevitability along the "who'd win" lowest common denominator lines. If they throw some good talent at it and have some interesting twists (hopefully involving making mutants more numerous again, so they'll stop being such whiny martyrs), it could be fun. It also might be the first X-Book I buy since Casey left Legacy.
This issue is important to me because Wanda goes back to Avengers mansion and finds Vision there. And it's really her, not a Doombot, and it's really him (not a copy or junior version). These are vital developments to the Avengers ever being the team I enjoy reading again. And I'm not even horrified by the way Bendis is handling the story, and here's my theory as to why: Bendis' genius is in taking the perceived knowledge of the character at the time he begins writing him or her, and pushing it in one of two directions: towards more realistic, quasi-real-world dilemmas; or taking their powers to extremes of suffering, i.e. the characters either become more human and foible-ridden, or they become more inhuman and cursed.
When Bendis took over the Avengers, they were in a moribund period where the last interesting thing to happen to Wanda (under Geoff Johns) was that she got a little demonic and scary again. He took that angle and pushed it through the stratosphere (or the lowest stratum, if you prefer). It was simplistic. It was obvious. It was crude. But the seeds for where he went had already been planted.
But by now there have been several stories by other writers who saw other potentials for her, as well as many restatements of her origin in various forms. And even Magneto is amongst the good guys. So now he's taking from those influences and making her a viable superhero again. Through his means of having her encounter some fellow Lady Liberators and then be shut down by a righteously angry Vision. He's always got different rules for his girls and his guys, with the women being more forgiving in this case. But one thing Vision has always done well is righteous anger, and that and his tear as he turns away are the most human Vision has ever been from Bendis, open admissions that he has emotions. The tear is even a tacit acknowledgment of an iconic Roy Thomas moment for the character. Could it all be a parody or just a footnote, sure, but judged as a single issue, this one covered a lot of ground for me.
Jamil: Wow, Shawn, you really let it out. I can see where some scenes in the Bendis story were long-awaited and refreshing. Obviously, the Wanda/Vision conversation is overdue, and it did carry a level of surprise for me to see Vision so angry. Actually, I really like where Bendis went with that. Vision angry and bitter? Awesome. Oh wait, he's crying again? Sucks. Sorry, I've seen that robot cry more times the entire Avengers roster combined. Maybe Bendis was harkening back to those iconic scenes, but again, I'm tired of the rehashing of the same refrain over and over.
The clunky exposition just really grated here, particularly in the Bendis half of the story. As I said, I understand the need to get everyone in on the ground floor, but for M.O.D.O.K to refer to her fall from grace as "rumor he heard"... C'mon now. I know heroes and villains probably aren't trading stories down at the local pub, but for a heavy hitter like M.O.D.O.K (and assumingly other big name baddies) to not know what happened to and because of Wanda is just unbelievable. Maybe I need to reread House of M or something
You speak on Scarlet Witch holding an unrivaled place in your heart, so I do respect that you liked parts of the story, but on a similar vein it left a bad taste in my mouth. I really love Carol Danvers, so seeing her show in this story elevated my excitement level. However, Bendis just completely ignored one of my favorite Ms. Marvel moments of his run, and possibly her entire (drama-filled) history: when Carol refuses to forgive Wanda for her actions at the end of Disassembled. Here, she's her biggest defender, and even carries her off at the end of the story as Wanda picks up the pieces of Vision's bombshell rejection. Maybe I missed the part where Carol forgave Wanda, but that seems ridiculously inconsistent to me. Perhaps if the whole story was about Ms. Marvel and Scarlet Witch with the former taking Vision's place as the angry Avenger, I would have accepted it, but not the way this was written. Felt hollow.
Chris: Jamil, I agree with your assessment of this issue as rather uneventful and heavy on exposition, but my criticism of that differs a bit from yours. You're exactly right that an event like this that aims to cater to new (or at least casual) readers needs to orient them to the landscape of the current continuity, but I don't think Bendis and Aaron actually manage to do that here. Sure, there's lots of talking about "Avengers Disassembled" and House of M and "Messiah Complex," but there isn't much explanation of the events of those stories or why they matter in the context of this one.
So who, then, is this issue ultimately for? It's too much of a stagnant retread for hardcore fans but neither do I see the writers doing anything that's really well-positioned to excite or inform the uninitiated. Of the book's two halves -- Bendis's Scarlet Witch segment that the two of you have already discussed at length and Aaron's spotlight on Hope -- it's the latter that had the most appeal for me. Knowing what I know about recent developments in the X-Franchise, I could enjoy the spirited clash Cyclops and Hope have over his protective instincts and her desire to take care of herself. Once Hope was off to fight that gang of snake villains I don't really care about ever seeing again, though, I was as bored as I was during the Wanda scenes.
Shawn: Ah, the Serpent Squad. Well, at least they weren't the sexed up Roger Corman wannabees of the Ultimate version (which must have been a temptation for Cho). Yes, they were there as a fairly perfunctory obstacle for Hope, whose powers still remain vague to me despite a miniseries of annuals starring her last year and her appearances in X-Men titles. She's a different sort of deus ex machina character to Wanda, actually, both of whom possibly share potential power levels to attract the Phoenix Force, which is all going to be a big part of how this miniseries either entertains or goes horribly awry as it builds up. Having the X-Men come and scoop her up and take her home did little more than introduce her as a potential catalyst for the story, and I didn't even really understand how she fortuitously found herself involved in that random bank robbery in the first place. I'm also really tired of bitter Cyclops.
M.O.D.O.K. was just taunting Wanda, and is as frequently a laughing stock as he is a "heavy hitter," though, certainly one to be so involved in his own arcane plots he may not be up to date on everyone else's. At least he was in Ms. Marvel's series, where he was a regular antagonist. That series may explain Ms. Marvel's change towards Wanda, as her rousing speech against her came when Bendis was trying to build Ms. M. up as a major player (well, they got a 50-issue series out of that, anyway), and in fact the House of M Ms. Marvel was an altogether happier and more successful heroine, illusion or not. She was also present for Children's Crusade, which was all about Wanda beginning to make reparations. Her anger at Wanda's breakdown has had a long time to heal. Carol's always been a hothead.
I'm definitely not saying this was a major comic, full of innovation; it was instead a competent one that gave me some hope (rather than dread) for the tone the impending series may take. Including even the heavy continuity dose. It featured two stars who are each integral to the mythos of their respective franchises, and that both were effective heroines in their stories (while also remaining irritants to some of their fellows) is to me a relatively fresh way of beginning the story.
Jamil: The fact that this starts off focusing on two female mutants with ambiguous power sets does make me think AvX might deliver more than I'm expecting. Still, these things are supposed to excite me for the main series, and all it does is make me wonder if this many-writer approach will end up working out. The tonal shift from Bendis to Aaron is palpable. The Hope story does a superiorly better job of incorporating back story through tight and relevant dialogue, but I still felt it was a little bogged down by the explanations and info drops. At least Cyclops had a couple good lines. (I like bitter Cyclops... is there any other variety?)
With all the different creators I'm wondering how cohesive this thing will end up being over a dozen installments. I'm predicting this will suffer from the same fallacy of Fear Itself, trying to fit grandiose ideas in a digestible package. Avengers fighting X-Men over some rambunctious girl isn't tantalizing enough on its own, so I'm going to need some insane plotting and unexpected twists to propel me through the summer.
Shawn: I think that's where the Phoenix Force comes in, Jamil, as if that hasn't also been done to death. Let's see if they can avoid the Beyonder, incorporate Wanda's new Life Force energy, and also somehow surprise us. But that will be then, and for now, I don't regret spending my $4 on this prequel.
Chris: Ironically, the same thing that bothered me so much about this issue is also what has me still clinging onto hope for a decent series overall. This isn't Avengers vs. X-Men #1, it's #0 -- an ultimately inconsequential prologue with some disappointing Frank Cho art. (For a guy with such a reputation for depicting the female form, why are all his ladies' feet so stumpy and their heads so often looking like they've been pasted onto a mismatched body? Still, he does manage to engineer some dynamic action scenes.)
If next week's formal debut -- the bestselling comic of the year so far -- also fails to deliver a decent hook, then it'll be time to worry. For now, I'm banking on the all-star team of Bendis, Brubaker, Fraction, Hickman and Aaron to get the job done, especially after seeing how good a job the last one did with Schism. See you guys next week, where this story really, really, really better begin.

JPMorgan Chase & Co, Deutsche Bank AG, UBS AG And Others Subpoenaed Over Libor-Reuters
Reuter reported that JPMorgan Chase & Co, Deutsche Bank AG and Barclays PLC are among a handful of banks recently subpoenaed in a joint New York-Connecticut investigation of possible manipulation of the Libor benchmark international lending rates. New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen have been looking into the possible rigging and manipulation of Libor by global banks for months. As part of that investigation, subpoenas were sent in recent weeks to Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and HSBC Holdings plc, in addition to JPMorgan, Deutsche and Barclays. Earlier, UBS AG and Citigroup Inc received subpoenas as well. The subpoenas seek communication between executives related to possible collusion and other conduct that may have played a role in alleged rate manipulation, among other information. Last month, Falkowski said Jepsen and Schneiderman hoped to provide restitution to state agencies, municipalities and other entities that may have been harmed by any illegal conduct. Authorities around the world are investigating banks over alleged manipulation of the rates. Most of the banks have disclosed receiving demands for information from numerous agencies. Libor, the London interbank offered rate, is compiled from estimates by banks of how much they believe they have to pay to borrow from each other.

I mentioned in my previous blog how similar hydraulics and electrics are in principle. In this blog, I'll talk about how even the components are similar.
The simplest valve in hydraulics is the check valve. It allows fluid to flow in one direction, but blocks flow in the opposite direction. I don't know enough about electronics to know what the simplest device is, but the diode is similar in operation as the check valve. A diode can block electrons from moving in one direction but allow them in the opposing direction. Not only are they similar in operation, but they're similar symbolically; please have a look at the two symbols in the drawing if you don't believe me.
A switch is not much motlier than a diode, but it's still very simple. A switch opens and breaks the path of potential electron flow; any electrical action in its circuit is ceased. When the switch closes, electrons can flow once again, completing the circuit. A hydraulic switch is the directional valve. Just the same as a switch, it opens and closes the path of (fluid, in this case) flow to allow work to take place. The only real difference is that hydraulics calls a "normally flowing" switch "normally open," and electronics calls a "normally flowing" switch "normally closed."
Hydraulic motors take hydraulic energy and convert it into mechanical rotary energy. Electric motors take electric energy and convert it into mechanical rotary energy. The analogy here is basic. The only area where hydraulic and electric overlap is foggy is linear actuation. The hydraulic cylinder is the mongoose to the electric's linear motor or linear actuator. An electric linear actuator typically uses a motor and ballscrew/wormgear combination, and a linear motor uses electro- and permanent-magnets to "slide" back and forth on a magnetic field; very expensive. However, a hydraulic cylinder is nearly 100% efficient at creating massive levels for force in a small package, and at an economical price.
Here are some more examples:
•Voltage regulator – Relief valve/Reducing valve
•Resistor – Flow control valve
•Capacitor – Accumulator
•Transformer – Intensifier
•Wire – Hose
There are many more functional comparisons between electrics and hydraulics, but my list of examples is limited by my knowledge of electronics. Still, you can see how if you're an electrician, you're a much better hydraulic specialist than you think you are!

I can't explain it, but reinterpreting Disney princess outfits through a more historically accurate lens really, really appeals to me. Beauty and the Beast has always hovered hesitantly in the late 18th century (especially in the earlier concept art), so I redid Belle's gold dress to match 1770's French court fashion.

Open Compliance Program Releases New Resources
Additional paper from Ibrahim Haddad added to the foundation's collection.
The Linux Foundation announced the inclusion of additional resource materials for their Open Compliance Program.
The Open Compliance Program was announced in August at LinuxCon 2010. The program is designed to decrease the legal concerns present in open source adoption by providing tools, training, documentation, self-assessmetn checklists, and a standard license report format, , so that open source adopters could instantly identify the type of license and the terms they were then subject to within any open source product.
Since that announcement the foundation has had three papers available on the publications page, covering software compliance, good FOSS practices, and challenges and kernel development. Now, the program has additional material from Ibrahim Haddad, Ph.D. A respected writer, Dr. Haddad's newest contribution to the Linux Foundation's Open Compliance Program documentation is a paper titled "A Glimpse Into Recommended Practices in a FOSS Compliance Management Process." The paper can be freely downloaded here.
The Linux Foundation expects additional resources by year's end including the second part of Dr. Hassad's paper. On October 1, the Open Compliance Program released the self-assessment checklists as a free download.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, on June 30, 1966, Mike Tyson became the youngest heavyweight boxing champion of the world in 1986, at age 20. He lost the title in 1990 and later served three years in prison over rape charges. He subsequently earned further notoriety by biting Evander Holyfield's ear during a rematch in 1997. Tyson has gone on to appear in several films, including a documentary on his life.
"I'm a dreamer. I have to dream and reach for the stars, and if I miss a star then I grab a handful of clouds."
"I'm a good guy, I'm a good brother. There's nothing wrong with me. Just don't push me too far, you know."
"When I fight someone, I want to break his will. I want to take his manhood. I want to rip out his heart and show it to him."
Early Life
Michael Gerard Tyson was born on June 30, 1966, in Brooklyn, New York, to parents Jimmy Kirkpatrick and Lorna Tyson. When Michael was two years old his father abandoned the family, leaving Lorna to care for Michael and his two siblings, Rodney and Denise. Struggling financially, the Tyson family moved to Brownsville, Brooklyn, a neighborhood known for its high crime.
Small and shy, Tyson was often the target of bullying. To combat this, he began developing his own style of street fighting, which ultimately transitioned into criminal activity. His gang, known as the Jolly Stompers, assigned him to clean out cash registers while older members held victims at gunpoint. He was only 11 years old at the time. He frequently ran into trouble with police over his petty criminal activities, and by the age of 13, he had been arrested more than 30 times.
Tyson's bad behavior landed him in the Tryon School for Boys, a reform school in upstate New York. At Tryon, Tyson met counselor Bob Stewart, who had been an amateur boxing champion. Tyson wanted Stewart to teach him how to use his fists. Stewart reluctantly agreed, on the condition that Mike would stay out of trouble and work harder in school. Previously classified as learning disabled, Mike managed to raise his reading abilities to the seventh-grade level in a matter of months. He also became determined to learn everything he could about boxing, often slipping out of bed after curfew to practice punches in the dark.
In 1980, Stewart felt he had taught Tyson all he knew. He introduced the aspiring boxer to legendary boxing manager Constantine "Cus" D'Amato, who had a gym in Catskill, New York. D'Amato was known for taking personal interest in promising fighters, even providing them room and board in the home he shared with companion Camille Ewald. He had handled the careers of several successful boxers, including Floyd Patterson and Jose Torres, and he immediately recognized Tyson's promise as a heavyweight contender, telling him, "If you want to stay here, and if you want to listen, you could be the world heavyweight champion someday." Tyson agreed to stay.
The relationship between D'Amato and Tyson was more than that of a professional trainer and a boxer—it was also one of a father and son. D'Amato took Tyson under his wing, and when the 14-year-old was paroled from Tryon in September 1980, he entered into D'Amato's full-time custody. D'Amato set a rigorous training schedule for the young athlete, sending him to Catskill High School during the day and training in the ring every evening.

Press Release: J Bay Nuclear Plant
For Immediate Release
Jeffereys Bay Nuke Campaign
Contact Kyle Thiermann for media requests
"Surfing for Change: J Bay Nuclear Plant" is a new short film exploring the dangers of a planned nuclear power plant in the pristine shores of Jeffrey's Bay, South Africa. Made by youth environmental activist, pro-surfer and filmmaker Kyle Thiermann, the film calls attention to the potential for environmental disaster if Eskom, South Africa's national power company, locates the nuclear plant in the waters of one of the most famous surfing destinations in the world.
Featuring interviews with renowned environmental leader Van Jones, 11-time Surfing World champion Kelly Slater, documentarian Foster Gamble and local surfing activists, the film calls attention to the inherent dangers of nuclear power in the wake of the March 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster — the largest nuclear failure since the 1986 Chernobyl meltdown.
Underscoring deep concerns about what's at stake, the film also offers a personal perspective from Takayuki Wakita, a Japanese surfer whose family lived 100 kilometers from the meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear power plant and now resides in J Bay.
"Surfing for Change: J-Bay Nuclear Plant" available for free through viral web outlets like YouTube, challenges young people to take action and use social media channels to support global opposition to the power plant, encourage exploration of alternative energy sources and points to decisions made by leading European countries to abandon nuclear power plants —Germany will end its nuclear power plant usage in ten years.
Thiermann hopes the film will aid the efforts of local residents who are fighting against a billion dollar initiative that promises employment opportunities in the short term; but risks future environmental catastrophe. "I met amazing people working to stop the plant from being built," he said. "If it is built, the landscape would be transformed with the building of a power plant. And, the lives of these residents will also be transformed. And not for the good."
"Surfing for Change" film series shows people who don't consider themselves activists how to adjust simple daily actions to strengthen their local communities and protect the environment. His film Claim Your Change detailed how money kept in multinational banks is used to finance destructive projects worldwide. It inspired people to move hundreds of million of dollars of lending power into local banks and credit unions. Since then, he has made movies ranging from the importance of shopping locally to following a plastic bag to Hawaii. Kyle has surfed his way across Indonesia, Chile, Peru, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Australia, Hawaii and throughout the US. For more information visit surfingforchange.com.
Where is 'Away?'
Where Is 'Away?': Solving Plastic Pollution in 4-minutes, is the fourth short movie in professional surfer, Kyle Thiermann's Surfing For Change series. It tracks a plastic bag that Kyle uses in his hometown of Santa Cruz California, all the way to the north shore of Oahu, demonstrating both the destruction and solutions along the way. Famous musician Jack Johnson, and Story of Stuff's Annie Leonard join Kyle in this fast-paced journey to highlight the power we all have to end plastic pollution.

Get yourself one of the running books by any major writer (like Higdon). And if you're keeping a log here and you want advice, consider making it public. Plenty of folks will offer comments. Am I correct in assuming from your screen name that you're planning on doing the marathon next fall?
