The small window for enactment of a major U.S. immigration overhaul during 2014 seems to have closed. A trial balloon testing House Republicans' willingness to proceed this year was quickly floated and dropped. Amid a focus on politics and timing, less noted was the reality that for the first time, House Republican leaders have affirmed support for a policy that would move the party closer to compromise over the most vexing question holding up immigration reform: what to do with the nation's unauthorized immigrants.
In 2012, the United States granted humanitarian protection to more than 87,000 people, with grants of asylum up 19 percent and refugee admissions up 3 percent from a year earlier. This article provides a detailed look at the most recent refugee and asylum data in the United States, including country of origin, top states of settlement, and more.
International migration flows are becoming increasingly diverse—not just in origins, but also in the composition of labor migration flows and the destinations to which migrants are heading. This article leads off the Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 Migration Issues of the Year.
United Nations Deputy High Commissioner for Refugees T. Alexander Aleinikoff talks to MPI about the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis and the role of UNHCR in assisting countries that have taken in large numbers of Syrian refugees.

The region encompassing Central and Eastern Europe as well as the former Soviet Union is the source of a sizeable share of international migrants today, yet many of these countries' development efforts do not benefit from strong diaspora ties. With the addition of several new countries in this region since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Czechoslovakia in the early 1990s, the notions of nationality and belonging—central to any diaspora engagement in home-country development—have become particularly complex and delicate. This article provides an overview of migration and demographic changes in this region from the 1990s forward, and also examines government approaches and attitudes toward diasporas and development.
Since its independence in 1991, Ukraine has expanded immigration and emigration rights – but it has also become a neighbor of the expanded European Union, a crossroads for illegal migration, and fertile ground for human traffickers. Olena Malynovksa of the National Institute for International Security Problems in Kyiv reports.
Recognizing their new positions in the global mobility system, several governments from countries with emerging economies are implementing structures to proactively manage the flow of people across their borders.

With more than 2.2 million Syrians who have already sought refuge abroad and more than 4 million others displaced internally, the challenges that the international community are facing from the Syrian humanitarian crisis continue to mount.
A number of interlocking concerns have emerged in recent months regarding the rights of mobile EU citizens, fueled in part by euroskeptic parties (such as the UK Independence Party), and more hard-line anti-immigration parties such as the Party for Freedom (PVV) in the Netherlands.
Having entered a country before or during a global economic crisis that remains acute in many areas, millions of young immigrants around the world face long-lasting setbacks in launching their careers and reaching their potential. Discrimination in the job market remains a major obstacle in many parts of Europe and the United States, affecting both immigrant youth and young people with an immigrant background. This article examines common challenges and factors influencing the development of local labor-market integration initiatives targeting immigrant youth, based on four city case studies conducted in the United States and the European Union.
Although many observers point out that China's dealings in Africa are driven by natural resources, since the mid-2000s Beijing has also shown interest in Senegal, which does not sit on major deposits of oil, gold, diamonds, or timber. This West African nation — a strategic ally for China, a reliable partner in the area of development cooperation, and above all, a promising market for selling made-in-China goods — has a rapidly growing Chinese migrant community. This article explores the growing presence of Chinese traders in Dakar's Centenaire neighborhood, investigating their backgrounds and motives for migrating. It also discusses how the decision to migrate affects their families, hometowns, and the local community in Dakar.
The expansion of access to credit through microfinance—now a multibillion-dollar sector—has resulted in profound shifts across the developing world. This article, using Cambodia as its example, discusses the ways in which households are using microcredit in coordination with migration, and addresses critical questions about who benefits from these linkages—and what vulnerabilities they might create for migrants.
In 2011, there were 25.3 million Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals residing in the United States, or roughly 9 percent of the nation's population ages 5 and older. Although most LEP individuals were foreign born, nearly one-fifth of this population was native born, about three-quarters of whom were children ages 5 to 17. This article provides a demographic and socioeconomic profile of LEP individuals residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants from the Philippines made up 4.5 percent of the 40.4 million immigrants in the United States in 2011. Although this population—1.8 million strong in 2011—has grown 17 times its size since 1960, its share among Asian immigrants overall has decreased since that year. This article examines the latest data on Filipino immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Immigrants from South America made up 2.7 million (about 7 percent) of the United States' foreign-born population of 40.4 million in 2011. While the share may seem small, this population has grown 30 times its size since 1960, when about 90,000 South American immigrants resided in the country. This article examines the latest data on South American immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Since 1990, the number of Central American immigrants in the United States has nearly tripled. This immigrant population grew faster than any other region-of-origin population from Latin America between 2000 and 2010. This article focuses on a wide range of characteristics of Central American immigrants residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Over the past five decades, Mexicans have constituted the single largest group of immigrants to the United States originating from Latin America. In 2011, 11.7 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States, representing 29 percent of the U.S. immigrant population and close to 4 percent of the overall U.S. population. This article examines the latest data on Mexican immigrants in the United States, including population size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
Belgium is often overlooked as a country of immigration because of its size and its less known history of immigration. Yet over the last three decades Belgium has become a permanent country of settlement for many different types of migrants. Our updated Belgium profile delves into modern migration flows and policies in Belgium which are inching away from a piecemeal approach towards a well-needed, long-term strategy.
Unaccustomed to a large number of migrants, Chile has seen an increase in migrants in the past three decades. Cristián Doña-Reveco and Amanda Levinson examine how the country, still wedded to its dictator-era migration framework, is balancing shifting migration patterns with a piecemeal approach to migration policy.
Jim Cobbe of Florida State University discusses how the close ties between Lesotho (ethnically, almost wholly Basotho) and South Africa (with an even larger Basotho population) are expressed in a history of economic migration, and how new immigrants from China are changing the face of modern-day Lesotho.
Over the past decade, Singapore's multicultural yet nationalist society has experienced substantial inflows of Asian and Western professionals, low-skilled migrants from across Southeast Asia, and new immigrants from nontraditional sending countries. This, coupled with increasingly permanent emigration of educated and skilled Singaporeans, has presented the city-state with complex challenges related to migration policymaking.
Once known for large-scale emigration, Greece has become the main point of entry for unauthorized migrants heading toward Europe. The country must now — amid economic turmoil — grapple with issues related to its highly porous borders, mounting asylum applications, and inadequate immigrant-detention system.
On June 27, the U.S. Senate passed legislation to overhaul the U.S. immigration system on a scale not seen in decades. Despite this major breakthrough, it is clear that immigration reform faces an uphill battle in the House of Representatives, where the dynamics are much different than in the Senate. This article assesses the prospects for immigration reform in the House, explores provisions of the Senate bill, the implications for U.S. immigration policy of the Supreme Court's recent ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act, and more.
As the U.S. Senate continues its debate over a bill to overhaul the nation's immigration system, the fiscal impacts associated with enactment of such legislation have emerged as a divisive issue. Following the release of an official congressional cost estimate on Tuesday, this article examines the crucial question of how immigrants' contributions to the tax base compare to the public benefits they would receive under S. 744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013.
State-level immigration laws have gradually softened in tone since the Supreme Court in 2012 affirmed federal primacy in immigration enforcement in a landmark Arizona case — a trend further solidified by a changed post-election political calculus on immigration reform. This article examines this unanticipated shift away from restrictive state immigration actions as well as the recent new trend in the passage of immigrant-friendly laws regarding in-state tuition and the granting of driver's licenses to unauthorized immigrants.
After months of negotiations, a bipartisan group of U.S. senators informally called the "Gang of Eight" in mid-April introduced long-awaited legislation for sweeping reform of the U.S. immigration system. This article provides a summary of the Senate bill's provisions and outlines the main critiques and obstacles ahead, including a tight legislative calendar, a difficult political dynamic in the House of Representatives, and an early stumbling block precipitated by the Boston Marathon bombing.
Across-the-board federal budget cuts went into effect on March 1, and effects are already being felt in a wide range of immigration functions. This article explores how the sequester has and will be impacting the U.S. immigration system, focusing on the federal government's recent decision to release immigration detainees on bond or to less costly supervision programs. It also takes a look at stateside processing of I-601 waivers, new policy guidance on immigration enforcement at community establishments, and more.

Pope Paul III (Latin: Paulus III; 29 February 1468 – 10 November 1549), born Alessandro Farnese, was Pope from 13 October 1534 to his death in 1549. He came to the papal throne in an era following the sack of Rome in 1527 and rife with uncertainties in the Catholic Church following the Protestant Reformation. During his pontificate, and in the spirit of the Counter-Reformation, new Catholic religious orders and societies, such as the Jesuits, the Barnabites, and the Congregation of the Oratory, attracted a popular following. He convened the Council of Trent in 1545. He was a significant patron of the arts and employed nepotism to advance the power and fortunes of his family. It is to Pope Paul III that Nicolaus Copernicus dedicated De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).
Early life and career[edit]
Born in 1468 at Canino, Latium (then part of the Papal States), Alessandro Farnese was the oldest son of Pier Luigi I Farnese, Signore di Montalto (1435–1487) and his wife Giovanna Caetani, a member of the Caetani family which had also produced Pope Boniface VIII. The Farnese family had prospered over the centuries but it was Alessandro's ascendency to the papacy and his dedication to family interests which saw the vastly significant increase in the family's wealth and power.
Alessandro's humanist education was at the University of Pisa and the court of Lorenzo de' Medici.[1] Initially trained as an apostolic notary, he joined the Roman Curia in 1491 and in 1493 Pope Alexander VI appointed him Cardinal-Deacon of Santi Cosma e Damiano.[2] Pope Alexander's mistress, Giulia Farnese, was Farnese's sister; and he was sometimes mockingly referred to as the "Borgia brother-in-law," just as Giulia was mocked as "the Bride of Christ." Under Pope Clement VII (1523–34) he became Cardinal Bishop of Ostia and dean of the College of Cardinals, and on the death of Clement VII in 1534, was elected as Pope Paul III.
A patron of the arts and family interests[edit]
One of various popes to have fathered children before his election, he had four illegitimate offspring. By Silvia Ruffini, he fathered Pier Luigi Farnese, whom he created Duke of Parma; others included Ranuccio Farnese and Costanza Farnese. His first action, on 18 December 1534, was to appoint his grandsons as cardinals. At the time, Alessandro Farnese and Guido Ascanio Sforza were aged fourteen and sixteen years respectively. His later appointments as cardinal included Gasparo Contarini, Jacopo Sadoleto, Reginald Pole, and Giovanni Pietro Carafa, who became Pope Paul IV.
One of the most significant artistic works of his reign was the depiction of the Last Judgement by Michelangelo in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican Palace. Although the work was commissioned by Paul's predecessor, it was finished in 1541.
As a cardinal, Alessandro had begun construction of a palace, the Palazzo Farnese, in central Rome. On his election to the papacy, the size and magnificence of this building programme was increased to reflect his change in status. The palace was initially designed by the architect Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, received further architectural refinement from Michelangelo, and was completed by Giacomo della Porta. Like other Farnese family buildings, the palace imposes its presence on its surroundings in an expression of the family's power and wealth. Alessandro's Villa Farnese at Caprarola has a similar presence. In 1546, after the death of Sangallo, he appointed the elderly Michelangelo to take over the supervision of the building of St. Peter's Basilica. Michelangelo was also commissioned by the Pope to paint the 'Crucifixion of St. Peter' and the 'Conversion of St. Paul' (1542–50), his last frescoes, in the Pauline Chapel of the Vatican.
Paul III's artistic and architectural commissions were numerous and varied. The Venetian artist Titian painted a portrait of the Pope in 1543, and in 1546, the well-known portrait of Paul III with his grandsons Cardinal Alessandro Farnese and Ottavio Farnese, Duke of Parma. Both are now in the Capodimonte Museum, Naples. The military fortifications in Rome and the Papal States were strengthened during his reign.[3] He had Michelangelo relocate the ancient bronze of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius to the Capitoline Hill, where it became the centerpiece to the Piazza del Campidoglio.
Paul III's bronze tomb, executed by Guglielmo della Porta, is in St. Peter's.

Paul III was earnest in the matter of improving the ecclesiastical situation, and on 2 June 1536, he issued a papal bull convoking a general council to sit at Mantua in 1537. But at the very start the German Protestant estates declined to send any delegates to a council in Italy, while the duke of Mantua himself set down such large requirements that Paul III first deferred for a year and then discarded the whole project.
On 2 June 1537, Paul III promulgated the papal bull Sublimus Dei against the enslavement of the indigenous peoples of the continent of America.
In 1536, Paul III invited nine eminent prelates, distinguished by learning and piety alike, to act in committee and to report on the reformation and rebuilding of the Church. In 1537 they turned in their celebrated Consilium de emendenda ecclesia (in J. le Plat, Monumenta ad historiam Concilii Tridentini, ii. 596–597, Leuven, 1782), exposing gross abuses in the Curia, in the church administration and public worship; and proffering many a bold and earnest word on behalf of abolishing such abuses. This report was printed not only at Rome, but at Strasburg and elsewhere.
But to the Protestants it seemed far from thorough; Martin Luther had his edition (1538) prefaced with a vignette showing the cardinals cleaning the Augean stable of the Roman Church with foxtails instead of brooms. Yet the Pope was in earnest when he took up the problem of reform. He clearly perceived that the emperor, Charles V would not rest until the problems were grappled in earnest, and a council was an unequivocal procedure that should leave no room for doubt of his own readiness to make changes. Yet it is clear that the Concilium bore no fruit in the actual situation, and that in Rome no results followed from the committee's recommendations.
On the other hand, serious political complications resulted. In order to vest his grandson Ottavio Farnese with the dukedom of Camerino, Paul forcibly wrested the same from the duke of Urbino (1540). He also incurred virtual war with his own subjects and vassals by the imposition of burdensome taxes. Perugia, renouncing its obedience, was besieged by Paul's son, Pier Luigi, and forfeited its freedom entirely on its surrender. The burghers of Colonna were duly vanquished, and Ascanio was banished (1541). After this the time seemed ripe for annihilating heresy.
It was not foreseen at Rome in 1540, when the Church officially recognized the young society forming about Ignatius of Loyola, (founder of the Society of Jesus), what large results this new organization was destined to achieve; yet a deliberate and gradual course of action against Protestantism dates from this period. The second visible stage in the process becomes marked by the institution, or reorganization, in 1542, of the Congregation of the Holy Office of the Inquisition (see Inquisition).
On another side, the Emperor was insisting that Rome should forward his designs toward a peaceable recovery of the German Protestants. Accordingly the Pope despatched Giovanni Morone (not yet a cardinal) as nuncio to Hagenau and Worms, in 1540; while, in 1541, Cardinal Gasparo Contarini took part in the adjustment proceedings at the Conference of Regensburg. It was Contarini who led to the stating of a definition in connection with the article of justification in which occurs the famous formula "by faith alone are we justified," with which was combined, however, the Roman Catholic doctrine of good works. At Rome, this definition was rejected in the consistory of 27 May, and Luther declared that he could accept it only provided the opposers would admit that hitherto they had taught differently from what was meant in the present instance.
The general results of the conference and the attitude of the Curia, including its rejection of Contarini's propositions, shows a definite avoidance of an understanding with the Protestants. All that could henceforth be expected of Paul was that he would co-operate in the violent suppression of heretics in Germany, as he had done in Italy, by creating an arm of the revived Inquisition for their annihilation.
Yet, even now, and particularly after the Regensburg Conference had proved in vain, the Emperor did not cease to insist on convening the council, the final result of his insistence being the Council of Trent, which, after several postponements, was finally convoked by the bull Laetare Hierusalem, 15 March 1545.
Meanwhile, after the peace of Crespy (September 1544), the situation had so shaped itself that Emperor Charles V (1519–56) began to put down Protestantism by force. Pending the diet of 1545 in Worms, the emperor concluded a covenant of joint action with the papal legate, Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. Paul III was to aid in the projected war against the German Evangelical princes and estates. The prompt acquiescence of Paul III in the war project was probably grounded on personal motives. The moment now seemed opportune for him, since the Emperor was sufficiently preoccupied in the German realm, to acquire for his son Pier Luigi the duchies of Parma and Piacenza. Although these belonged to the Papal States, Paul III thought to overcome the reluctance of the Cardinals by exchanging the duchies for the less valuable domains of Camerino and Nepi. The Emperor agreed, because of his prospective compensation to the extent of 12,000 infantry, 500 mounted troops, and considerable sums of money.
In Germany the campaign began in the west, where Protestant movements had been at work in the archbishopric of Cologne since 1542. The Reformation was not a complete success there, because the city council and the majority of the chapter opposed it; whereas on 16 April 1546, Hermann of Wied was excommunicated, his rank forfeited, and he was, in February, 1547, compelled by the Emperor to abdicate.
In the meantime open warfare had begun against the Evangelical princes, estates, and cities allied in the Schmalkaldic League (see Philip of Hesse). By the close of 1546, Charles V succeeded in subjugating South Germany, while the victory at the Battle of Mühlberg, on 24 April 1547, established his imperial sovereignty everywhere in Germany and delivered into his hands the two leaders of the league.
But while north of the Alps, in virtue of his preparations for the Augsburg Interim and its enforcement, the Emperor was widely instrumental in recovering Germany to Roman Catholicism, the Pope now held aloof from him because Charles V himself had stood aloof in the matter of endowing Pier Luigi with Parma and Piacenza, and the situation came to a total rupture when the imperial vice-regent, Ferrante Gonzaga, proceeded forcibly to expel Pier Luigi.
The Pope's son was assassinated, 1547, at Piacenza, and Paul III believed that this had not come to pass without the emperor's foreknowledge. In the same year, however, and after the death of Francis I of France (1515–47), with whom the Pope had once again sought an alliance, the stress of circumstances compelled him to do the Emperor's will and accept the ecclesiastical measures adopted during the Interim.
With reference to the assassinated prince's inheritance, the restitution of which Paul III demanded ostensibly in the name and for the sake of the Church, the Pope's design was thwarted by the Emperor, who refused to surrender Piacenza, and by Pier Luigi's heir in Parma, Ottavio Farnese.
In consequence of a violent altercation on this account with Cardinal Farnese, Paul III, at the age of eighty-one years, became so overwrought that an attack of sickness ensued from which he died, 10 November 1549.
Paul III proved unable to suppress the Protestant Reformation, although it was during his pontificate that the foundation was laid for the Counter-Reformation. He decreed the second and final excommunication of King Henry VIII of England in December 1538.
Pope Paul III and slavery[edit]
In May–June 1537 Paul issued three documents, the bulls "Sublimus Dei" (also known as Unigenitus and Veritas ipsa), "Altituda divini consolii" along with "Pastorale officium", the latter the brief for the execution of "Sublimus Dei".
"Altituda divini consolii" was essentially a bull to settle a difference between the Franciscans and Dominicans over baptism, but "Sublimus Dei" is described by Prein (2008) as the "Magna Carta" for Indian human rights in its declaration that "the Indians were human beings and they were not to be robbed of their freedom or possessions".
"Pastorale officium" declared automatic excommunication for anyone who failed to abide by the new ruling.[4] Stogre (1992) notes that "Sublimus Dei" is not present in Denzinger, the authoritative compendium of official teachings of the Catholic Church, and that the executing brief for it ("Pastorale officium") was annulled the following year in "Non Indecens Videtur".[5] Davis (1988) asserts it was annulled due to a dispute with the Spanish crown.[6] The Council of The West Indies and the Crown concluded that the documents broke their patronato rights and the Pope withdrew them, though they continued to circulate and be quoted by Las Casas and others who supported Indian rights.[7]
According to Falkowski (2002) "Sublimus Dei" had the effect of revoking the bull of Alexander VI "Inter Caetera" but still leaving the colonizers the duty of converting the native people.[8] Prein (2008) observes the difficulty in reconciling these decrees with "Inter Caetra".[9]
Father Gustavo Gutierrez describes "Sublimus Dei" as "the most important papal document relating to the condition of native Indians and that it was addressed to all Christians".[10] Maxwell (1975) notes that the bull did not change the traditional teaching that the enslavement of Indians was permissible if they were considered "enemies of Christendom" as this would be considered by the Church as a "just war". He further argues that the Indian nations had every right to self-defense.[11] Stark (2003) describes the bull as "magnificent" and believes the reason that, in his opinion, it has belatedly come to light is due to the neglect of Protestant historians.[12] Falola notes that the bull related to the native populations of the New World and did not condemn the transatlantic slave trade stimulated by the Spanish monarchy and the Holy Roman Emperor.[13]
In 1545 Paul repealed an ancient law that allowed slaves to claim their freedom under the Emperor's statue on Capital Hill, in view of the number of homeless people and tramps in the city of Rome.[14] The decree included those who had become Christians after their enslavement and those born to Christian slaves. The right of inhabitants of Rome to publicly buy and sell slaves of both sexes was affirmed.[15] Stogre (1992) asserts that the lifting of restrictions was due to a shortage of slaves in Rome.[16] In 1548 he authorized the purchase and possession of Muslim slaves in the Papal states.[17]
Fictional portrayals[edit]
The character of Pope Paul III, played by Peter O'Toole in the Showtime series The Tudors, is loosely inspired by him. The young Alessandro Farnese is played by Diarmuid Noyes in the StudioCanal serial Borgia, and Cyron Melville in Showtime's The Borgias (2011 TV Series) .

Title: | Assistant Coach |
Phone: | (617) 495-2214 |
Email: | email@example.com |
College: | Northwestern University 1991 |
Experience: | Second Season |
Kelly Cole returns for her second season as a member of the Harvard women's basketball coaching staff in 2013-14. Cole brought 21 years of coaching experience to Lavietes Pavilion last season, including three appearances in the Sweet 16 as a member of the Boston College staff.
Cole has spent the past five seasons working as a head coach at the high school level, including most recently at Buckingham Browne & Nichols in Cambridge. She led BB&N to a 15-11 overall record and a 9-3 record in the Independent School League this past season, with the team's third-place finish in the ISL marking its best since 2005. Cole also served as the head coach at Bedford High School for the 2010-11 season and at the Gann Academy from 2007-10.
Cole worked a total of nine seasons at Boston College under head coach Cathy Inglese, spending seven of those seasons as an assistant coach before being promoted to associate head coach in May of 2004. While in Chestnut Hill, Cole helped the Eagles to a 192-89 overall record and seven NCAA Tournament appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 in 2003, 2004 and 2006. Boston College won at least 20 games seven times during this stretch and in 2003-04 posted a 27-7 mark en route to the BIG EAST Championship. The Eagles were also a combined 95-51 in BIG EAST and ACC play.
Cole was responsible for bringing in six top-25 recruiting classes as BC's recruiting coordinator. As the primary guards coach she helped develop two all-region selections, four first team All-BIG EAST selections and three recipients of the BIG EAST's Most Improved Player award. Cole also coached eight 1,000 point scorers and three players who amassed over 400 career assists.
She began her collegiate coaching career at her alma mater, Northwestern, where she helped the Wildcats to the WNIT semifinals in 1996 and to the NCAA Tournament in 1997. Cole began her coaching career as the head girls basketball coach and head volleyball coach at Newberg High School from 1992-96.
Cole graduated from Northwestern University in 1991 with a degree in secondary education and English. She played four seasons for the Wildcats, serving as team captain from 1989-91, and finished her career having scored 1,206 career points. She currently ranks second in program history in career appearances (121), seventh in free-throw percentage (.803) and eighth in assists (376).
The Cole-led Wildcats earned three trips to the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the second round in both her freshman and senior campaigns. In 1990, Northwestern captured the Big Ten title with a 27-6 overall record and a 15-3 mark in conference play. The Wildcats were 81-39 overall in Cole's four seasons while going 47-25 in the Big Ten. Cole was named All-Big Ten honorable mention in 1988 and 1990, and was an Academic All-Big Ten pick in 1990.

Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States."
In your comments please state if you would support his amendment, or not and why.
Also how do you perceive this affecting current laws that apply to citizens and not Congressmen and Representatives such as "obamacare. I do not have the actual name of the law at hand.
Please keep all comments respectful, and follow the rules of the forum. There is no need to be rude to fellow board members.
I think that in spirit this amendment fits with the intentions of the founding fathers in the respect that all men are created equal, and that all men are equal under the eyes of the law. The fact that congress has the ability to even pass laws that fit into this situation sparks of a noble class that passes laws that only apply to the commoners, like they are above us.
Effective immediately, for any laws that are currently on the books congress can vote to either apply said law to themselves in it's entirety or it can be repealed in it's entirety.I miss my friend Matt McQuinn he touched so many lives, and in the end gave his life to protect someone that he loved.

Re: Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
I agree with this very much. If we are to keep the constitution whole we must abide by the intent of the founders. Its pretty evident that a class system is currently
closer to the surface. The political class is already afforded luxuries that the constituent is not eligible for and yet must pay for. I don't see that in the constitution or for that matter any of the documents that founded our nation. I would support this measure.Thanked by: - 01-26-2013, 05:49 PM Thread Author #3

Re: Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
Here is a clarification. No member of congress should be entitled to a pension, period. Its not supposed to be a full time job. I don't mind if they collect SS providing they have accumulated 40 quarters in the process. Also the perks they receive should go. They should have zero extra benefits at the expense of the taxpayers, especially if the constituents are not eligible to receive the same benefit. On top of that, rules for both chambers should have to pass muster with the electorate and any law that is passed that impacts the electorate should also apply to the congress. They exempt themselves with regularity and that needs to stop. I also would not provide extra protection for anyone at taxpayer expense, let them fend for themselves at their own expense, its what we all have to do in our daily lives. No quarter should be given here as the people are supposed to be in charge of even their representatives. I also believe term limits are necessary so more people can be involved with the process of government. Any external funding of any kind should be outlawed, especially from foreign donors. Government is too large and history has already provided many lessons as to why that is a bad thing, do your homework, start with Rome. We are Rome!
Re: Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
If they pay into a pension plan.... both FERS & CSRS pensions require this (I know, I am an air traffic controller under a FERS retirement)... then they are absolutely entitled to a pension just as they are if they pay into SS. They absolutely pay into their pension plan, just as I did. Are you implying they get a free pension? If so....you are mistaken.
Where does it say ANYWHERE that its not supposed to be a full time job other than your mind? Unless term limits are put in, its up to the voters to make it a part time gig.
If there are no pension benefits, then only the rich can afford to run for office. What middle class person can afford to walk away from their job, lose their benefits, for a part time gig in congress?
In the US congress members do not get protection, except for the Speaker of the House and Senate Majority leader or if a specific member has been threatened.
But if a Congressman or Senator is going to a foreign country, then yes the Secret service can be assigned to protect them.
You need to do some homework too. - 01-29-2013, 08:07 AM #8
Re: Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
Having done some of my homework I see that the founders themselves were concerned about the congress and or government getting too far out of control like the conditions found today.. The founders never envisioned a full time congress that gets a handout of any kind, simple re-numeration and modest at that. Yes I am aware that they could not have envisioned many things that we see today, however they were clear about a too large government. The fact is that no middle class person can run for congress anyway unless they float to the top of the political stew as so much gaseous turd. Its already been gamed away from the citizens and coveted by the elitist in the parties. The parties make the rules and the rules favor the parties. You should also check into the fact that most politicians have armed guards, example Michael Bloomberg is surrounded by armed guards, Ted Kennedy also had armed guards and many, many more. Often times the weapons were fully automatic and were allowed to travel without restriction in the United States. The citizen is not provided that luxury .
The middle class person who cannot get away to play politics is always at the disadvantage and always has to play by a separate set of rules. This is my main complaint. The citizens are the bosses and they should have the same rights that the congress enjoys. Example: the Feinstein Assault Bill to be forwarded for deliberation (Ha!) excludes the congress and others in government from the bills restrictions. That story just ran. You will cling to your story and I mine. I would have appreciated it if you did not cherry pick and instead answered the full body of my complaint as a result I find you unworthy!

Re: Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
The last paragraph of section 9 from The Constitution is below:
"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
It is my opinion by making themselves exempt from not only Obamacare, and nor Seen Feinsteins Assault weapons ban of 2013 among others they have been setting g themselves up as modern nobility. They write the laws that are supposedly good for us, but that they themselves are too good for.I miss my friend Matt McQuinn he touched so many lives, and in the end gave his life to protect someone that he loved.

Re: Possible 28th Amendment to The Constitution
Where are you getting your information from? Heresay? Hannity? Beck??? Read this:
Section 1312 of the Affordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare) reads as follows:
(i) REQUIREMENT.-Notwithstanding any other provision of law, after the effective date of this subtitle, the only health plans that the Federal Government may make available to Members of Congress and congressional staff with respect to their service as a Member of Congress or congressional staff shall be health plans that are -
(I) created under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act); or
(II) offered through an Exchange established under this Act (or an amendment made by this Act).
(ii) DEFINITIONS.-In this section:
(I) MEMBER OF CONGRESS.-The term Member of Congress means any member of the House of Representatives or the Senate.
(II) CONGRESSIONAL STAFF.-The term congressional staff means all full-time and part-time employees employed by the official office of a Member of Congress, whether in Washington, DC or outside of Washington, DC. - 01-30-2013, 10:33 PM Thread Author #12

Whale watching in Washington typically focuses on Orcas (Killer Whales) in and around the San Juan Islands of Northwest Washington. Whales, however, also are often seen up and down the Washington coast and the species is not confined to the Orca. Gray whales and humpback whales also are seen as well as a wide variety of other marine wildlife.
Orca whales, also popularly known as "Killer Whales", are the most sought after whales for watching. Orca's typically travel in family groups called pods and generally are recognized as either transient or resident groups.
Gray whales also are sought after by whale watchers. Grays are seen offshore up and down the Washington's coast.
Passengers on charter boats probably account for the greatest number of people engaged in whale watching, but many other people enjoy sightings from kayaks, fishing boats, sail boats and power boats of every size and description. Other watchers flock to well - known spots on island or mainland shores.
One of the most popular shore locations in Washington for whale watching is Lime Kiln Point State park on the west side of San Juan Island. The 36-acre day-use park is about 10 miles from the town of Friday Harbor and is open year around from 8:00 AM to dusk. During summer months transit buses are available to island visitors arriving by ferry that didn't drive a vehicle.
Orca whales in Washington are seen year around though most often during the whale watch season beginning in April and running through September.
Whale watching for Gray whales is best during the months of March, April, and May as they migrate to summer feeding grounds in the North Pacific from their summer breeding waters of Baja California.
The San Juan Islands draws more whale watchers, but the Orca whales are seen all along the coast of Washington as well as in and around the San Juan Islands and the waters of Puget Sound.
A number of charter boat companies run whale watching cruises and you can find such charters at various ports around Puget Sound. We have listed below a number of well-know charter operations according to their home ports. The ports are listed alphabetically. In most cases it is a good idea to call ahead and make reservations in advance of the date you might want to join a whale watching cruise.
Each of the ports listed below also offer a variety of accommodations from bed and breakfast lodging to hotels and motels should you wish to make an overnight trip and enjoy your whale watching outing at a more leisurely pace. To learn more about each port, just click on the name and a link will take you to the respective town in a new browser window.

LAKEWOOD, CO (KUSA9) - A restaurant server was confronted with the woman accused of stealing her identity.
Lakewood police say we can all learn a lesson from what happened next.
Brianna Priddy's wallet was stolen on Feb. 13 during a night out with friends. On Feb. 25, a customer came to the Applebee's on the 10600 block of West Colfax in Lakewood where Priddy works as a server.
At first, they looked like any other customers but Priddy soon learned who they really were.
"Four people come in, walk in, sit down. They start ordering drinks. This girl hands me my ID as a fake ID," Priddy said.
It had been a rough couple of weeks for Priddy.
"My wallet was stolen. It was a pain in the butt," Priddy said.
They took her cash, credit cards, and worst of all her driver's license.
Someone was using her identity, writing hundreds of dollars in bad checks.
Now that someone, was sitting in Priddy's section.
"But I didn't say anything. I handed it back to her and said sure I'll be right back with your margarita. [I] went straight to the phone, called the cops," Priddy said.
Priddy acted like nothing was wrong.
"I put on my server smile and tried to take care of them, but I was shaking like crazy," Priddy said.
Lakewood police arrived in minutes.
Police spokesman Steve Davis cannot release the name of the woman they arrested because the investigation is ongoing.
"Dumb criminal! That's the first [word] that comes to mind," Davis said. "We found some narcotics in this woman's possession, so she's in quite a bit of hot water."
Davis says the case is among the most unusual coincidences he's ever encountered in more than 30 years of law enforcement.
Even more bizarre, Davis says, is that the suspect is 26 and more than old enough to buy a drink with her own ID.
The woman accused of using Priddy's stolen ID faces felony charges including theft, identity theft, and criminal impersonation.
Police say she was also selling drugs and faces even more charges in that investigation.
"You don't hand somebody their own ID as a fake," Priddy said.
Priddy has her license again and she also has quite a story for her customers. "I am the .00001 percent that it happens to," Priddy said.
Priddy says the suspect doesn't even look like her, so that stolen ID wouldn't have gotten her very far.
This story came into 9NEWS as a newstip.

Historic Preservation Commission searches for notable properties
Columbia's Historic Preservation Commission began accepting nominations for the city's 2013 list of most notable properties. It will review nominations and select a diverse set of properties that contribute to the city socially or aesthetically. Properties must be at least 50 years old and can be privately or publicly owned.
Many properties have already been added to the list, so this year the committee is thinking outside the box in terms of what might be a notable property.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be a building," commission member Paul Prevo says. "It can be a specific property, perhaps where an event occurred, or where one of the leaders of Columbia was present for an event – a cemetery was one of the notable properties last year."
Last year the commission received approximately four nominations – one was the Arrow Head Motel, which was added to the list last year. Prevo says this year the commission is exploring the idea of a "ghost sign."
"And that's where, perhaps it's seven in the morning, you're eating breakfast outside, and you glance up at one of the old downtown buildings – and you just happen to make out the sign that was there in 1904 for such and such furniture shop, or such and such haberdashery," Prevo says.
Being added to the list of notable properties doesn't place any restrictions on what owners can do with the properties. Prevo says the list is more about promoting community awareness of historic properties in Columbia.
As of Friday, the commission had not received any nominations for its 2013 list of notable properties. The deadline for submissions is Nov. 1.

JACKSON, MS (WLBT) - Harold McDonald was just 17 years-old when he joined the navy in 1943. He remembers how he got his assignment aboard the USS Portland.
"They lined us up against the bulkhead. So I ended up in the magazine room, down there underneath passing up 40 pounds of powder until we got to Tarawa. And we did the bombardment there. All the bombardment going on... The marines had to go ashore in the LST's and boats and landing craft. And I didn't know what was going on until we had a lull and I went up topside saw all the many bodies floating in the water. They didn't make it because the boats, they had misjudged the tide and the ships couldn't get in the close enough."
The Portland would go on to protect aircraft carriers during strikes on several Pacific islands and New Guinea... and eventually took part in the bombardment and landings at Pelilu.
"What we did primarily was we bombarded and we gave support, so I was not close. I could see where we were blowing things up."
The Portland moved next to the Philippines.
"This plane knew we were in that harbor. He was flying above us, throwing bombs down and ammunition all over the deck. And we were trying to get the ammo below the deck as fast as we could. So what we ended having to do was throw all the ammunition into the water and get out of there.
Then we got in the battle of Sirigao Straights, which was a surface engagement with more tonnage than had ever been sunk before. What happened on that one in the Philippines, we had just unloaded everything at Leyte, we had our supplies, troops, everything up there. The Japanese wanted to come in and bombard all of our supplies. But we had spotted them coming up and our PT boats started them hitting them before they got out there. We sent a destroyer escort. So we were able to sink battle wagon, help in that.
We did sink one of the cruisers. I was looking at it. You're looking at a ship and all of a sudden it was not there, it was gone. And the Japanese sailors would not allow you to pick them up because their philosophy was to die in battle. If you didn't die in battle, you were not a good soldier."
McDonald would also see the Japanese willingness to die for their cause when he faced kamikaze pilots bearing down on the Portland and USS Columbus.
"I was on the bridge and he just missed our bridge, because he was going to hit us. I thought it was all over but he decided to hit the other one, which he did. Killed the admiral. Killed all the people on the bridge on that one. We went to Okinawa Easter Sunday and stayed there through all that. That's when the Japanese started throwing at us everything they could. They got over 3000 kamikaze pilots on Okinawa that came at that time."
He was still in Okinawa when the war ended. After he returned to the states, McDonald went to University of Arkansas on the GI Bill. He joined the Air Force and retired as a captain.

Pewter Report Radio returns to the airwaves today and every Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. with Scott Reynolds joining JP Peterson on 1010 AM CBS Sports Radio and continues with Reynolds and Mark Cook hosting a full hour of Buccaneers talk from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
Pewter Report Radio returns to the airwaves today and each Wednesday on 1010 AM CBS Sports Radio. The Buccaneers talk begins at 5:30 p.m. as Pewter Report publisher Scott Reynolds, who is in his 16th year covering the team, joins afternoon host J.P. Peterson to analyze last week's humiliating, 38-19 loss to Carolina, the play of Josh Johnson, Josh Freeman's injured shoulder and the upcoming game at Jacksonville.
That 30-minute segment leads into a full hour of Pewter Report Radio delivered by Marco's Pizza from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. on 1010 AM featuring Reynolds and new Buccaneers beat writer Mark Cook hosting the show. Reynolds said that the content on the full hour of Pewter Report Radio in the 6:00 p.m. hour will be even more news-based with the latest scoop from One Buccaneer Place as well as fresh analysis on the previous week's Bucs game as well as a look ahead to the next one.
"I think what will make this show different is the fact that Mark and I are reporters, not sports talk show hosts," Reynolds said. "We are going to focus on relaying as much information and insight that we collected first-hand from the players, coaches and our sources at One Buc Place and do it in an entertaining way. For one hour a week we want to take the 1010 AM listeners into the Bucs locker room and have them learn all we did from the week thus far at One Buccaneer Place so they can be the most informed Bucs fans around. If you like the content on PewterReport.com, you will love the new Pewter Report Radio show."

We Got A Gusher!: Bleeding Zombie Shooting Targets
This is a series of "bleeding" zombie targets made by Zombie Industries. They can allegedly stand up to 1,000 rounds and are made of biodegradable "flesh" and pockets of pink blood that ooze when hit. They come in eight different styles, cost $90 ($100 for the ex-wife zombie with a wig) and should have at least been made with red blood. Or green. Or -- and I'm just throwing this out there -- bloody mary's. "Wait -- you'd be willing to drink from a zombie practice target filled with lead?" Are you serious? I'd be willing to drink from a fat man's hairy belly button filled with if it got me drunk.
Hit the jump for a shot of the zombie's dome after a wasteful amount of headshots (God, it only takes one!) and a couple videos of the zombies standing up to an AR-15, ninja sword and chainsaw.

Vertical blinds are a good choice for basement windows or glass sliding doorsOct 25 2010 Vertical blinds are good choices for large windows in family rooms. As family rooms, they can provide relaxation for adults, a play area for children or a music practice space for a budding musician. But to give equal attention to all members of the household, a large basement space should be divided into zones for certain uses, according to HGTV.com. Interior designer Candace Olson said she redesigned one basement family room by choosing earth colors to create a cozy atmosphere and leveled out uneven floors with vinyl tiles and provide the look of wood. "Next, I divided the room into three zones: a relaxation zone, a music zone and a wet bar zone," she told the website. "By creating different zones for different needs, adding hardwearing furniture and flooring, and topping it off with vibrant accents and details, this basement got an injection of style the whole family can enjoy." For a ground-level basement with sliding glass doors leading to the outside, or a basement with large windows, vertical blinds are an attractive window treatment that provides privacy and can be adjusted to allow different amounts of light into the room.
