chapter fiveFurther Thoughts on the Preceding ChapterI have let myself get drawn into looking at a question which I confess interests me greatly, and although it breaks out of the precise limits of this work in some respects, I cannot refrain from adding a few further thoughts here on the drawbacks of the appointment of representative assemblies by a single body and on the advantages of the opposite system. [393] Whatever discredit one heaps on intrigue, on efforts to captivate a fickle and emotional multitude, these things are a hundred times less corrupting than the circuitous endeavors one needs to win over a small number of men in power. Intrigue is dangerous in a senate, dangerous in an aristocratic parliament, but not in the context of the nation, whose nature it is to act from emotion. The misfortune of a republic is when there is no intrigue.9 Nothing vile is pleasing to the people as a whole. But powerful individuals are only too prone to enjoying the humility of prayers and the baseness of adulation. What has to be done to carry a large meeting has to be done in broad daylight, and modesty moderates public actions. But when people cringe before a few men whom they are imploring individually, they grovel in the shadows, and servility knows no limits. If election by the people sometimes entails culpable seduction, most often it demands honorable and useful means, kindness, benevolence, justice, and protection. When the election depends upon an electoral college, another route is mapped out. It is certainly not toward the countryman's dwelling but toward the palace of the electoral college that the candidates direct their steps. They are dependent not on the people but on the government, and if dependence on inferiors makes citizens, dependence on superiors makes slaves. It is a sad education for the people's mandatories which imposes on them an apprenticeship in dissimulation and hypocrisy, condemning them to humiliating supplication, to obsequious salutation, to adroitness, genuflection, and flattery, doubtless to prepare them for the unbending courage which has to check despotism and plead the cause of the weak against the strong. There are eras when anything at all resembling energy is feared, when gentleness, flexibility, and hidden gifts and private virtues are vaunted. Then are dreamed up modes of election best suited to reward these precious gifts. These, however, are eras of degradation. Let sweetness and flexibility find favor with courts, and let hidden talents declare themselves; let private virtues [394] find their reward in domestic happiness. The choice of the people belongs to men who command attention, who attract respect, who have acquired the right to esteem, confidence, and popular recognition. And these more energetic men will also be more moderate. People always take mediocrity as peaceful. It is peaceful only when it is locked up. When chance invests it with power, it is a thousand times more incalculable in its motion, more envious, more obstinate, more immoderate, and more convulsive than talent, even when emotions lead the latter astray. Education calms the emotions, softens egotism, and soothes vanity. One of the greatest advantages of representative government is to establish frequent relations between the diverse classes of society. Sectional election requires on the part of the powerful classes sustained consideration for the lower classes. It forces wealth to conceal its arrogance, power to moderate its action by placing in the people's votes a reward for justice and kindness and punishment for oppression. This advantage disappears when you entrust elections to the choice of a great electoral college. Perhaps it will be objected that in granting political rights only to property owners, I am lessening this advantage of the representative system. But under modern social conditions there is no line of demarcation between small owners and nonowners such that the rich can win over the former by oppressing the latter. Nonproprietors, artisans in the small towns and villages, day laborers in the hamlets are all relations of small owners. They would make common cause against the oppressor. So to get the votes of those who have the vote, you will have to treat them all considerately. [395] This everyday device for happiness and harmony must not be lightly renounced, nor should we disdain this motive for benevolence, which may start as a mere calculation but soon becomes a habitual virtue. The complaint is that wealth is concentrated in the capital and the countryside drained by the continual taxation it bears, which never returns to it. Popular election pushes owners back to the properties from which they distance themselves. When they could not care less about popular suffrage, their reckoning is confined to getting out of their property the greatest possible revenue. Popular election suggests they adopt a nobler reckoning, much more useful to those who live under their domination. Without popular election they need only credit, and this need groups them together around the central government. Under election by the people they have to be popular. Bringing them back toward the source of their popularity, it roots their political existence in their possessions. The benefits of feudalism have sometimes been praised for keeping the lord in the midst of his vassels and sharing out the opulence equally between all the parts of the territory. Popular election has the same desirable effect without entailing the same abuses. People constantly talk of encouraging agriculture and honoring work. They try awarding prizes, capriciously doled out, and medals which public opinion wrangles over. It would be simpler to give the farming classes a degree of importance. But this importance cannot be created by decree or edict. Its basis must be grounded in the interests all hopes have in its being recognized and all ambitions in treating it carefully. In replacing artificial devices, which they try out and change, with respect for the principles of freedom, governments would attain more swiftly and surely the purpose they must have in mind. In letting men enjoy the rights which belong to them, you free them from having to have recourse to uncertain resources and complex improvisations with no durable effect, because their stability depends not on the nature of things but on the arrangements of a few individuals. In sum, only sectional election by the people can invest national representation with real force, and give it deep roots in public opinion. You will never surmount or render silent the feeling which cries out to us that the man we [396] have not elected is not our representative. And should calumny pursue him, or government menace him personally, against these attacks will he know to whom to run? To whom will he say: I have faithfully fulfilled the mission with which you entrusted me; I am persecuted for having protected you? Where will he find a voice which recognizes his own and which replies to him? What fraction of the people will believe itself bound up with him in his courage and danger? The whole nation? But the whole nation is nothing. Can a nation spread across an immense territory manifest a view or experience a spontaneous impulse? Only in always speaking of the entire nation, in destroying all fractions, in intercepting all communication between them and those who defend them, in recognizing their mandatories as mere representatives of an abstract being, who never has positive existence, only thus does despotism become impregnable in its lair. When assemblies which call themselves representative are not selected by the people, they are helpless before the executive power. If they put up some resistance to it, it demands to know by what right. What is your authority? How can you be the representatives of the people? Did they appoint you? If public opinion disapproves a law or protests against some arbitrary act, then the government cries: what are these seditious claims? Has not the national representative chamber discussed, deliberated, consented? Or perhaps, has its silence not sanctioned things? Only the legitimate institutions of the nation can express its sovereign will. The executive power is protected from all blame, since the people's delegates approve it. Thus by turns the unfortunate nation and its so-called mandatories are treated like a game. Thus the semblance of representation never constitutes any barriers, but serves as an apologia for all excesses. It would be an error, as M. Necker observes, to believe that the part given to the people in the election of lawmakers has no purpose save ensuring further the suitability of those chosen.10 Six hundred fifty men drawn by lot from the rich and cultivated class which supplies the membership of the English House of Commons would form in my view a body as enlightened as the one which results today from the British elections. All the advantages we have just described, however, would vanish. There would be no more consideration for inferiors, [397] no more inviolable credentials for opposing the government, and no more of this salutary movement spreading life, strength, and health through all the parts of the body politic. Citizens are interested in their institutions only when they are called to participate in them with their votes. Now, this interest is indispensable in the formation of a public spirit, that power without which no freedom lasts, that guarantee against all the perils, always invoked in certain countries without its ever being created. Public spirit, based on popular election, has sustained Great Britain, in the midst of the most expensive and desperate war. It is through popular election that press freedom, under very easily offended ministers, has survived every crisis. Without popular election, a country's citizens never have this sense of their importance which makes them see the glory and freedom of their country as the most important part of their individual patrimony. I know that lately some among us have conceived many prejudices against popular elections. Nevertheless, until our times all experience testifies in their favor. The people of Athens, free in their choice, says Xenophon, whom one would never suspect of overfondness for democracy and its storms, have never asked for positions touching on their city's safety or honor to be given to men unworthy to fill them.11 Livy shows us the outcomes of the Roman Comitia, proving always that the spirit of the people was different depending on whether they were demanding the right to control the high positions in the Republic or whether, the combat over, the victory won, they were pronouncing calmly, according to conscience and reason. Despite the efforts of their tribunes and the interests of their class, their choices were constantly directed toward the most virtuous and the most [398] illustrious.12 Since 1688 the elections in England have brought no one into the House of Commons save enlightened property owners. One could scarcely cite a man of distinguished political talent whom that election has not honored, when he has sought it. The profound peace of America, the firm moderation she has deployed in difficult circumstances, the speeches and acts of Jefferson, the choice of such a man by representatives elected by the people, constitute a justification of its franchise which nothing can weaken, because it cannot be attributed to inaccurate or exaggerated accounts. If, in the history of the ten years which have just passed by, certain facts seem unfavorable to popular election, special causes explain this. First of all, we have never really had popular election. From the introduction of representation in our political institutions, the intervention of the people has been feared. Electoral colleges have been created, and these have distorted the effects of the election. Popular governments would be the triumph of mediocrity, were it not for a sort of moral electricity with which nature has endowed men, as though to ensure the dominance of genius. The larger the assemblies are, the more powerful is this electricity, and since, when it is a question of election, it is useful that this electricity directs the choices, the assemblies charged with the appointment of the people's representatives must be as numerous as is compatible with good order. In England, the candidates harangue the electors who surround them from the height of a rostrum, in the middle of a public place or an open space full of people. In our electoral colleges, numbers were restricted and proceedings severe. A rigorous silence was prescribed, and no question was put such as might agitate minds or subjugate, for an instant, individual ambition or local egoism. Now, uneducated men are fair only when they are carried along. They are carried along only when, brought together in a crowd, they act and react on each other almost boisterously. You cannot attract the attention of several thousand citizens without great wealth or far-reaching reputation. In a gathering of two or three hundred, a few domestic connections can seize a majority. To be selected by the people, you need supporters beyond their purview and the positive advantages this brings. To be chosen [399] by a few electors, it is enough to have no enemies. The advantage lies entirely with negative qualities, and luck even favors the untalented. As regards many issues, the national representatives in France have been less advanced than public opinion. I am not speaking of party questions. During civil turmoil, education has no effect on these. I am speaking of matters of political economy. It is just that our electoral assemblies, with the obstacles they put in the way of all personal influence and their encouragement of calumny, made election a lottery with the dice often falling on mediocre or unknown men. In this first respect, we cannot judge popular election in France because it has simply not existed. Secondly, for election to be popular, it must be essentially free, which it never was at any point during the Revolution. Who is not aware that the first moves of an institution may be accompanied by troubles alien to it? The overthrow of what has been, the passions stirred in opposite directions, all these things are ordinarily contemporary with great political changes among peoples of advanced civilization, but derive in no way from the principles or nature of what one wishes to establish. To decide against popular election on the basis of the happenings of the French Revolution, is to judge national assemblies by comparison with Cromwell's Parliament or royalty by comparison with Charles VI's demented reign. Finally, during the ascendancy of our assemblies, no constitution placed real limits on legislative power. Now, when legislative power is quite limitless, when the nation's representatives think themselves invested with boundless sovereignty, when no counterweight exists to their decrees either in executive or judiciary power, the tyranny of those elected by the people is as disastrous as any other, whatever name it bears. The absolute, unlimited sovereignty of the people was transferred by the nation, or as is usual, at least in its name, by those who dominated it, to representative assemblies. These exercised an unparalleled despotism. This had to be, as we have sufficiently demonstrated earlier. [400] The constitution13 which first put an end to this period of despotism and madness still did not sufficiently limit the legislative power. It established no counterweight to its excesses. It did not enshrine either the indispensable veto of the executive power or the equally indispensable possibility of the dissolution of the representative assemblies. It did not even guarantee, as do some American constitutions, the most sacred rights of individuals against the encroachments of legislators.14 It is hardly surprising that the legislative power has continued to do harm. People have laid the blame on popular election. This was a profound mistake. It was absolutely not the mode of appointment of the legislators which needed blaming but the nature of their power. The fault was not in the choices made by those represented but in the unchecked powers of their representatives. The ill would not have been less had the mandatories of the nation appointed themselves or had they been appointed by a corporate body however constituted. There was no counterweight, no suppression, no check to their will, decorated though it was with the name of the law. That was the source of the ill. When legislative authority covers everything, it can do only ill, no matter how it is appointed. If you restrict it to things in its jurisdiction, if it is asked to pronounce only on punishments for crimes in the future, on what proportion of individual property must be assigned to public use, on the means of defense to be directed against foreign enemies; if, far from being able to conspire against freedom, its only power is to guarantee and defend it, do not fear to leave to the people the choice of holders of that tutelary power. It will do only good things. For it to do so, however, it must emanate from its true source. The representatives of the nation, proud of their national mission, must place their hope and find their reward only in the votes of those they represent. I will close this digression with two considerations all the more important in their touching on power as much as freedom. The appointment of representative assemblies by an electoral college creates an authority which is neither that of the government nor of the people. And if that authority develops a feeling of hatred for the government, it is in vain that the latter may be surrounded with public affection, [401] in vain that it deserves it. The people who do not have right of election can change nothing in the makeup of the assemblies which speak in their name. It would be in vain too if the government had the right to dissolve them. Dissolution is nothing without popular election, for there is no longer any recourse to the wishes of the people. If the electoral college agrees with the government, the nation will be faced, without being able to make itself heard, with the removal of its most faithful mandatories, the true representatives of its will. If the electoral college is hostile to the government, it will be in vain that the people surround the latter with their love and confidence. Government and nation will see seditious representatives reelected, without any constitutionally legitimate opposition possible, whom the unanimous disavowal of their constituents will not be able to deprive of their position as their deputies. A remarkable era in the annals of the British Parliament brings out the importance of this consideration. In 1783 the English king dismissed his ministers. Almost the entire Parliament belonged to their party. The English people thought differently. The king having appealed to the people in this, via a dissolution of the House of Commons, an immense majority gave its support to the new government. Now, suppose popular election replaced by the authority of an electoral college, if the majority of that college had leaned toward a party which had neither the assent of the governors nor the governed, this party would have had control of affairs, despite the unanimous manifestation of the national will. So true is it that you do not increase the real and legitimate force of government by attacking the people's rights and that it is impossible to create a stable organization if you budge from the principles on which freedom rests. If it were claimed that with a bit of skill or lots of force the government will always dominate the electoral body, I would reply first of all that this hypothesis of a representative assembly which is only the instrument of one or a few men is a terrible one. It would be a thousand times better to have no assemblies at all. Oppression is never so terrible in the name of one man as when it borrows the appearances of freedom. One man would never dare to wish on his own what he orders his agents to will, when they call themselves [402] organs of an independent authority. Think of the Senate of Tiberius or Henry VIII's Parliament. But I would next say that a disorderly agency can react against the hand which employs it. A government which makes use of an assembly which it dominates always courts the risk of seeing it suddenly turn against it. The most enslaved corporate bodies are also the most violent when some unforeseen event occurs which breaks their fetters. They wish to break the opprobrium of their long servitude. The same senators who had voted public holidays to celebrate the death of Agrippina and to congratulate Nero for the murder of his mother condemned him to be beaten with rods and thrown in the Tiber. I know that people want to frighten souls with exaggerated pictures of the tumults of popular elections. More than once a witness of the apparent disorders which accompany contested elections in England, I have seen how unreliable the descriptions made of them are. Unquestionably, I have seen elections accompanied by uproar, brawls, violent disputes, insults often of the grossest sort, everything which characterizes the class which physical labor deprives of any culture or elegance, any refined occupation. But election did not bear any less on men of notable talent or wealth. And once this operation was over, everything returned to the customary order. Artisans and workmen, recently obstinate and turbulent, became hardworking, docile, even respectful again. Satisfied with having exercised their rights, they complied all the more readily with social superiorities and conventions, in that they were aware, behaving thus, that they were obeying only the independent calculation of rational interest. The morning after an election there was never the least trace of last night's disturbances. The people resumed their work, but they had become convinced of their political importance, and public awareness had received the necessary shaking to bring it alive again. Elections are like almost everything else relating to public order. It is by dint of troublesome precautionary measures that people effect them and nurture them. In France our spectacles and fairs are ringed with guards and bayonets. You might well think three French citizens incapable of meeting without two soldiers to separate them. [403] In England twenty thousand men assemble. Not a single soldier appears among them. The security of each one is entrusted to the reason and interest of each. The crowd, feeling itself the depositary of public order and individual security, guards this duty scrupulously. I will go further. Everything which people invent about the English elections could be proved without my changing my opinion. I would tell myself that for the sense of freedom to penetrate the heart of the nation, it is perhaps necessary sometimes that freedom clothe itself in forms, popular, stormy, boisterous ones, within its understanding. I would rather see a few unforeseen accidents as a result of this, than see the nation becoming indifferent and discouraged because of the absence of these forms. When the nation takes no interest in its rights, power will break out of its confines. Then it undertakes insane wars and allows itself to engage in illegal vexation. And if your counterargument concerns a few individual misfortunes, a few men dead through suffocation by the crowd or in unexpected brawls, I will ask you whether those who are deported to far, distant shores do not perish, or those whom a worthless whim send beyond the seas on murderous expeditions, or those who are locked up in prisons. If these things are prevented only by freely elected representation, anyone who reflects will willingly run the very improbable risk of some fatal mischance to obtain that unique safeguard against the suspicions of tyranny and the madness of ambition. [9. ]See Constant's Note F at the end of Book XV. [10. ]Jacques Necker, Dernières vues de politique et de finance, offerte à la nation française, s.l., an X, 1802, p. 4: "It would be a mistake to reckon that by this political disposition one had had in view only to make more sure of the suitability of the chosen." [11. ]Constant is inspired directly by Montesquieu here: "It never happened," says Xenophon, "that the lower class ever demanded elected officers who might compromise their safety or glory." De l'esprit des lois, Livre II, Ch. 2, éd. cit., p. 533. It is amusing to observe that Gaëtano Filangieri uses the same quotation, and without giving his source, in La science de la législation, Paris, Cuchet, 1786, t. I, pp. 191–192. Constant, who also knew this work, could just as easily have found this example from Xenophon in Filangieri. This shows once again how far Montesquieu was read and used. Thanks to a reference supplied by Montesquieu, one can go back to Xenophon, La république des Athéniens I, 3. Compare Xenophon, Anabase, Banquet, Economique, De la chasse, République des Lacédémoniens, République des Athéniens, new translation with observations and notes by Pierre Chambry, Paris, Garnier, 1954, p. 510. [12. ]The Titus Livy example seems to come from Montesquieu too, De l'esprit des lois, Livre II, Ch. 2 (éd. cit., p. 533). [13. ]That of 5 fructidor an III (22 August 1795). [14. ]See Constant's Note G at the end of Book XV. [F. [Refers to page 329.]]Montesquieu, Esprit des lois, II, 2. [G. [Refers to page 335.]]The members of the legislature of New Jersey make an oath not to vote against laws which assure periodic elections, trial by jury, freedom of conscience, and that of the press. Those of South Carolina take the same oath and moreover one promising not to enact any retroactive law nor to establish any noble titles. |

V100 Black
Ordered and arrived quickly. BUT this guitar was not set up or even finished properly. Almost all the screws on the front were loose,including the bridge,pickboard etc. Not good. After tuning the loose strings, I discovered Fret BuZZ.Not just a litle but loads.The bottom three strings all touched 2-3 frets when only the first fret was pressed. Sounded terrible. So lifted the action - no better.Stretched the strings. No better. Lowered the pickups,no better. Then I loosened the far-too-tight truss rod. Hey presto ! Then had to go through resetting action and harmonics again. Still left with quite a high action,but I think this is necessary to lift off the uneven frets.It is playable though. The sound from this guitar is really rather good.Fretboard is faster than I\'m use to, so fast runs are possible.Weight is not too bad (compared to my old Marlin Sidewinder).Bought with HD300 from Behringer, sounds good. Getting clean tones can be a problem if picking hard,seems to have a bit of an aftertone/ring somehow. Hard to pin this down.Might be just the set-up, or natural distortion. Plenty of sustain. Very nicely finished,once fully screwed together. Not sure about the soldering inside, looks a bit amateur.All in all,once setup properly, very playable.

Media Vehicle pod offers virtual reality with womb-like human comfort
Tuesday, January 27, 2009 - 2:46am
Thanks to a new device called the Media Vehicle we now know what the future control-pods allowing us to manipulate our giant, super strong, battle robots will look like. Although the prototype unit can currently only accommodate an operator weighing up to 132 pounds, the first iteration of the Media Vehicle is impressive.
Once inside a large spherical display acts as your virtual video experience while your legs are allowed to move freely on a movable track. It's a good thing this is still just a prototype, because if you thought the XBox 360 was a reason not to leave your home for a few days, it's likely this thing will significantly change your life when released commercially.

This would mean a bit more work but I think it would be interesting for the Scorps' fans - at least it would be for me. Do you think you could open a new category that would show what the band (or individuals) did on a specific date. Like "ON THIS DATE IN SCORPION HISTORY....." July 10th 1969.....band plays in where ever.
Just things that would be of interest, new release date, etc., a history of what the band has done throughout the years for each day....Hope I am not asking too much - but I would really find it not only interesting but informative, a great way to learn about the history of my favourite rock band! What say Wolfy? PLEASE!!

Welcome, guest
Wed Sep 1, 2004
When the Securities & Exchange Commission finally published its proposal to require hedge fund advisers to register, many managers of the bigger funds sighed with relief. Suddenly registration didn't seem so bad, not least because, due to loopholes in the proposed rules, it may be possible to avoid the issue altogether with a few changes to the terms offered to investors.
The question now is how many of the larger firms will take advantage of the get-out clause, which allows firms with a two-year lock-up for their LP and those with fewer than 15 offshore investors to sidestep registration. Many investors are worried that it will prompt a slew of firms to impose longer lock-ups to avoid regulation.
When it was included in the proposal, no one imagined the loophole that some cynics have dubbed the "Levitt exemption," named after...

Reference | EN 62264-2:2013 |
Title | Enterprise-control system integration - Part 2: Objects and attributes for enterprise-control system integration |
Project Number | 24023 |
Abstract/Scope | IEC 62264-2:2013 specifies generic interface content exchanged between manufacturing control functions and other enterprise functions. The interface considered is between Level 3 manufacturing systems and Level 4 business systems in the hierarchical model defined in IEC 62264-1. The goal is to reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with implementing the interface. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2004 and constitutes a technical revision. It includes the following technical: - addition of object models for exchange information used in manufacturing operations management activities; - displacement of the UML object models that were in IEC 62264-1:2003 into this standard so that the object models and the associated attribute tables were available in the same document; - addition of the Hierarchy scope object definition to replace the Location attribute used in the previous edition; - addition of a value type section to define the exchange of non-simple value types; - definition of simple value types were defined using the ISO 15000-5. |

[JURIST] Russian president Dmitry Medvedev Thursday signed anti-corruption legislation [press release] passed by the country's parliament earlier this month. Medvedev has pushed anti-corruption reforms since taking office [JURIST report] in May. The new law imposes income reporting requirements on persons holding public office [RIA Novosti report], restricts gifts and makes a variety of amendments to existing anti-corruption legislation. In a late September speech to the first session of the country's new Anti-Corruption Council [JURIST report], Medvedev said:
Corruption in our country has taken on not only massive dimensions and occurs on a massive scale, it has also become commonplace and routine something that characterizes the lives of our citizens. And as you know, it is not banal bribes regardless of their size that I am referring to, but rather a serious illness which affects our economy and corrupts all of society. In this regard fundamentally lowering the level of corruption is, of course, a strategic challenge facing our country. The achievement of this goal is directly connected with the protection of property rights in Russia, strengthening the legal and judicial systems, and the expansion of free enterprise

Island, Thailand, 2011
Digital photos and film scans from 1997-present.
Pakorn Yoodee, Thailand, 2011
Pakorn is a young photographer from Chiang Mai, Thailand. He had a small display of his work set up in the middle of a Sunday Market, sandwiched between stalls selling little wooden frogs and Tuk-Tuks made out of Singha cans. I wish I could have taken one of his prints home, but I don't think it would have survived the rest of the trip through the boozy islands to the south and Bangkok's humid summer air.
We had a brief chat about photography - I think he spotted my Fuji X100 from ten meters away and we gave each other that knowing nod that seems to unite all of the world's broke and happy photographers. Have a look at his work, he has a very good eye and an a very mature style that should, if things were fair, make him one of South East Asia's most in-demand commercial/editorial photographers.
I've been tagged by chrismolyneaux! I guess I have to list off 10 things about myself, this should be fun (and probably a bit challenging).

He is board-certified in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology. IN THIS ARTICLE
Epidural Steroid Injection RisksEpidural steroid injections are generally very safe, but there are some rare potential complications. One of the most common risks is for the needle to go too deep and cause a hole in the dura, the tissue that surrounds the spinal cord and nerve roots. When this occurs spinal fluid can leak out through the hole and cause a headache. This headache can be treated with bedrest, or with a blood patch. A blood patch involves drawing some blood from the vein and the injecting it over the hole in the dura. The blood forms a seal over the hole and prevents any further fluid from leaking out. Rarely, a patient may develop an allergic reaction to one of the medications injected. This can cause itching, a drop in blood pressure, wheezing, or swelling. If the needle touches the spinal cord or nerve root it can cause a neurologic injury. This most commonly causes a temporary feeling of numbness or tingling in the extremities. There is also a very small risk for infection with the injection. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Epidural Steroid Injection

After competing at the National History Day Competition this week inWashington, D.C., nine Aberdeen students had the opportunity to learn a lot.
"It was a really great experience and was really fun. said Maggie Fouberg, one of the students who was in the nation's capital Monday through Thursday for the competition. The judges at nationals were so different from the ones at regionals. Their expectations were really high.
"Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History" was the theme for the nine students as they represented South Dakota in the nation's capital.
The area finalists who went to nationals were Michael Marmorstein, Jack Seitz, Elizabeth Wensmann and Gilbert West of Central High School; and Natalie Bollinger, Omar Elkhader, Thomas Krueger, Sophie Wieland and Maggie Fouberg of Holgate and Simmons middle schools.
The students conducted more than a year of intense research on their desired topics, and they presented their findings through exhibits, performances, documentaries, Web pages and papers.
To compete in D.C., the students first participated at Regional History Day in March and qualified to compete in the state competition in Brookings in April.
There were 600,000 competitors and 2,800 finalists at National History Day. The top three in each category received awards. Besides the competition, students also went to the Smithsonian, which was Maggie's favorite part.
I met a lot of new people and made a lot of new friends, she said by phone Thursday.
Maggie gave a performance on Jane Goodall, who studied primates and spent most of her life with apes. She changed the way we think of apes, Maggie said. She helped preserve their habitats by how she's helped us think of them.
Maggie is also involved with Destination Imagination.
Destination Imagination is very strict with no parent involvement so we let her lead the way and create her own performance and own set, said her mother, Erin Fouberg.
Fouberg recommended parents let their children do their own projects, because they get so much out of it that way.
Guiding each student were teachers Jane Perman and Barb Gehrts, who have incorporated the History Day projects into their advance placement United States History and advance placement English Language and Composition courses in Aberdeen schools. Rose Des Camps also works with Simmons and Holgate middle schools students.
The students' trip was made possible by donations sent to Holgate Middle School.
"The help of the community and support is what really made this possible for us to go, Maggie said.

What is the one thing that has defined your life so far?
Probably the first time I stepped into Henri Bendel in Boston while in college. I was into tie-dye and flannels, which were very cool at the time, but my roommate took me there and it was like a whole new world I hadn't known about. I was in love, and no longer interested in my biology degree.
What's your guilty fashion pleasure?
I think my Norma Kamali for WalMart cocoon sweatshirt. It was a gift.
What is something you have learned this past week?
That you can infuse vodka with any flavor you like in an ISI whipped cream maker. Takes two minutes. So yummy with jalapenos.
What are some top trends you see being embraced by your customers this season?
Silk blouses, pleated skirts, cozy sweaters, and color. Women are loving color right now.
Any secrets to successfully dressing for the holidays?
I love dressing up! Ask anyone. A dress is the simplest solution, but if you are more comfortable in pants there are lots of silk and sequin tops to dress up any black pant. If your event is not too dressy, I love dark jeans and a snug blazer or tux jacket with a silk camisole underneath.

Ann Arbor, Mich. • Notre Dame is opting out of its series with Michigan, meaning the last scheduled game between college football's winningest programs will take place in 2014.
A letter from Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick to Michigan athletic director Dave Brandon cancelling games in 2015-2017 was obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday through a Freedom of Information Act request.
Brandon told the AP he was handed the letter on the field in South Bend, Ind., about an hour before Saturday night's game.
"I put the letter in my pocket and didn't bother to read it right away because I was focused on the game we were about to play," Brandon said. "I read it on the way home Sunday morning."
The Fighting Irish recently decided to move to the Atlantic Coast Conference in every sport except football and hockey, though the football team will play five games a year against league opponents, starting no later than 2015.
"While this move is a necessary precaution as we begin the process of meeting our new scheduling commitment to the ACC," Swarbrick wrote in his letter to Brandon, "please know that Notre Dame very much values its relationship with Michigan and we look forward to working with you to ensure that our great football rivalry can continue."
Brandon said he hopes to work with Swarbrick on another contract to extend the series.
"The ball is in their court because they've triggered the three-game notice," he said. "We'll play them next year at Michigan Stadium for the last time in a while — it appears — and we'll make our last scheduled trip to South Bend in 2014. There will likely be nothing on the board for five years after that. Beyond that, I don't know what will happen."
The Irish beat the Wolverines 13-6 over the weekend in the latest game of a storied series that dates to 1887. They've played every year since 2002 and regularly since 1978 after not meeting from 1944-77 or 1910-41. Michigan and Notre Dame were scheduled to take a hiatus during the 2018-19 seasons.
Swarbrick's letter is dated a day before the schools met on the field and cites last year's contract.
"Because I am providing you with this notice prior to the commencement of this year's football game on September, 22, 2012," Swarbrick wrote, "there is no liability to Notre Dame for cancelling those games."
The contract has an automatic rollover provision with a year being added each time a game is played, according to Notre Dame senior associate athletics director John Heisler.
"We needed to avoid the automatic addition of additional games until we can get a better understanding of our available inventory in those years," Heisler said in a released statement, "an understanding that will develop as we implement our five-game scheduling commitment to the Atlantic Coast Conference."
By opting out of the contract now, the Irish will host two of the final three years of the deal and will avoid playing at the Big House twice during the final three years.
No. 10 Notre Dame (4-0) is in the top 10 for the first time since 2006. Michigan (2-2) started the season No. 8 and has dropped out of the poll after losses to No. 1 Alabama and then the Irish. Both teams have a bye this week.
The Wolverines have an NCAA-best .735 winning percentage in football and the Irish (.732) are second. Michigan leads all-time series 23-16-1.
"Michigan has always enjoyed and respected our national rivalry with Notre Dame," Brandon said. "We understand there have been periods of times that we've had a hiatus to take a couple years off to play other teams and that was something we expected along the way.
"It's unfortunate that it would appear we're going to go a substantial amount of time between games. But that is a decision Notre Dame has made. Our job is to find opponents that are exciting for our student-athletes as well as our fans to replace Notre Dame."

The Pistons may not be able to afford standing still on draft day, as the Bobcats are conspiring with the Kings and Bucks to sandwich Detroit's No. 8 pick.
Looking at the draft options if the Sixers trade Andre Iguodala to the TimberWolves for the number two overall pick.
Check out the replay of our Liberty Ballers Draft Podcast where we cover everything surrounding the Sixers, from the Draft, to Andre Iguodala rumors.
The Pistons are reportedly nervous about taking a guy who needs to stay in Europe for a year -- maybe this changes things. (Or, maybe it changes things for one of the other teams in the top 7, leaving another prospect on the board for when Detroit picks.)
The Liberty Ballers team releases their big board, pretending t hey're in the war room on draft night for the Sixers
Sixers 2011 Draft Primer Part 3: a look at the European players near the top of this years draft.
Interesting read, including an (unknown, of course) scout's take on each player.
With Bismack Biyombo, Jonas Valanciunas and Kawhi Leonard off the board, the Detroit Pistons are forced to take the best player available instead of filling a position of need. Do you think this would be a smart move?
The 2011 NBA Draft is just two sleeps away -- as the cool girls on my Facebook say -- which means the rumors, smokescreens and speculation regarding random trades are coming to a head.

Jan 31 2013 by Rob Pattinson, Liverpool Echo
A MERSEYSIDE FARMER turned detective after a break-in, by tracking down the thief who raided his farm on eBay.
Craig Parkinson discovered around £4,000 of machinery and stock had been stolen from one of his outbuildings in an overnight raid.
The sheep farmer initially feared there was little hope of recovering his items.
But, after reporting the theft to police, he decided to take the matter into his own hands.
One of the items stolen from his farmland on Johnsons Meanygate, Tarleton, near Southport, was a distinctive Ryobi pressure washer.
So the dad-of-two went online to search auction and shopping website eBay to see if the thief had put it up for sale.
And he was surprised to discover the pressure washer was being offered from an address in Southport. Mr Parkinson said: "I couldn't believe the gall of him when I saw pictures of my stuff for sale.
"One of the bigger pieces was a pressure washer as well as stuff for dealing with the sheep. I decided to have a look on eBay myself, searched for the pressure washer and there it was. In the pictures, I could even see the rest of my stuff in boxes in the background. I said to my wife, Eve: 'Come and look at this, it's unbelievable!'."

====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== August 15, 2008 Texas--Reminder--Announcing the 2008 Annual North Texas Home Educators Network Conference Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: [This is a correction: the email we sent a moment ago indicated J.

I'll be speaking on: "For Dads Only--Man to Man", and "They Want Us Extinct: The Threat to Homeschool Freedom from California, Germany, the NEA and the UN." The dad's talk should be a great encouragement for the new homeschool dad whose head is still spinning a bit, or the old-timer who thinks he's seen it all. The "Extinct" talk is a comprehensive assessment of that fragile, precious jewel we call "freedom"--who wants to steal it, and how to make sure we pass this blessing on to our children and our children's children. I would also like to personally invite you to join me at 12:00 noon on Friday, August 22, for a special reception to help celebrate HSLDA's 25th anniversary. Light refreshments will be provided, and all those attending will receive a $10 merchandise gift certificate! We will show a 6-minute video on the history of homeschooling and I will give 15-minute talk about homeschooling in Texas--where we came from, and where we're going. To help us get an accurate head count, please RSVP to http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=5325 . Come by the HSLDA table and introduce yourself! And remember--as a special conference offer, we are giving $10 off 1-year renewals or new applications for membership, and $25 of 2-year renewals or applications (or a FREE Drive Thru History DVD-Book set).

Hey Marco! Thanks for the birthday wishes. Yes, it would appear that the novelty that is me has warn off. lol
I hope you have a great birthday. Jim
You're probably right. The black ribbon idea sounds good in His honor. Mark
I actually thought about it, but in the past I tried to get rid of the flags as they had been there too long. JC had very strong opinions about the symbolism of the flag and supporting our troops. Not sure that would be something he would approve of, as it would detract from the meaning of the flags. A black ribbon on your pole and getting everyone to go fishing on a remembrance day might be better.
I'm honored you would want this old toady for your friend!!
Happy birthday Marco. Hope you have a blessed day. Jimsnarocks
