United States Senator
September 8, 2005
Opening Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy,
Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary
Executive Business Meeting
September 8, 2005
The Senate returned this week to pass a resolution of solidarity with the victims of the devastation in New Orleans and the Gulf coast region, and another honoring Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who passed away last Saturday night after 33 years of service on the Supreme Court, including 19 as Chief.
This Sunday is September 11. Just as Americans joined together four years ago, we join together now to help the victims of a national catastrophe. Americans are opening cities and homes to those displaced from their own. The hearts and prayers of Vermonters and all Americans are with those we have lost, those who are still suffering, and those who are providing relief and shelter. We are keenly aware as well of the suffering that afflicts the people of Alabama, the state that is represented by Senator Sessions, a member of our Committee, and of the relief efforts that have been mounted by the people of the State of Texas, represented by Senator Cornyn, another member of our Committee.
The devastation and despair facing millions of our fellow Americans in the Gulf region is a tragic reminder of why we have a federal government and why it is critical that our government be responsive and accountable. It is at times like this that we see vividly why we need the federal government -- for our protection and security; to provide a safety net for those in need; to provide a timely lifeline to those in distress; and to provide necessary resources beyond the ability of any locality or State government.
Tragically, in the days immediately before and after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast, the machinery of government failed. In a moment of candor last week, the President said that "the results are not unacceptable." It was worse. The government failures that contributed to so many needless deaths bordered on the criminal.
I contrast the work of the press with the lack of an effective government response. The press did its job as an information source but also served as a lifeline to many survivors and their families. They became rescuers for many, as well as serving as reporters. They got to the scene of the tragedy immediately. In fact, they were there throughout. Their reports and the searing images they transmitted were critical factors in moving the American people to demand greater government responsiveness to begin to alleviate the suffering. Without the press fulfilling their First Amendment responsibilities, I doubt that relief efforts would have been stepped up dramatically over the weekend. Even so, precious time was lost in the immediate aftermath, and as a result, so too were precious lives lost.
The full dimensions of the disaster are not yet known. Bodies of loved ones need to be recovered, families need to be reunited, those who were rescued need to be assisted, long-term health risks and environmental damage need to be assessed. But if anyone needed a reminder of the need and role for government, the last days have provided it. If anyone needed a reminder of the growing poverty and despair among too many Americans, we now all have it. That any would suggest that the poor who failed to drive out of New Orleans, in cars they did not have, somehow had it coming to them, or that they have no one to blame but themselves, is to victimize them, again. And if anyone needed a reminder of the racial divide that remains in the United States, no one can now doubt that we still have miles to go.
I believe that the American people want, expect and demand their government to help ensure justice and equal opportunity for all and especially for those who, through no fault of their own, were born into poverty. We are all Americans, and all Americans should have the opportunity to earn a fair share of the bounty and blessings that America offers. That is what has made this country a great nation.
We are measured by how this nation of abundance provides for those with the least and the politically powerless -- the old, the infirm, the very young, the poor. In the first days of last week, we failed that test. The American people deserve a government as good as they are and with a heart as big as theirs. The test is not just about money after the fact, although that is now essential to alleviate the suffering and devastation. The test also includes preparedness, responsiveness and accountability.
The unthinkable images of the last days will likely continue as this tragedy unfolds and its consequences rivet the attention of all Americans. This should be galvanizing Congress to action. How is it that we were unprepared for the disaster in New Orleans when the danger has been known for years? How is it that we can track the storm, the President can declare an emergency on Saturday before Katrina hit the Gulf Coast, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency can be so inept on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and beyond? How can the American people have sufficient confidence that we are prepared or could respond effectively to a terrorist attack? Terrorists will not be subject to radar tracking, like a storm. Terrorists will not give us 36 hours' warning of where they will strike. If we cannot be prepared for hurricane season or, for that matter, flu season last year, how can we expect Americans to have confidence that we are prepared for terrorism?
It was four years ago that government failed to connect the dots or demonstrate the vision needed to head off the national tragedy on September 11. It was during a hearing of this Committee, when FBI agent Coleen Rowley was testifying about those tragic failures, that the Bush Administration reversed itself and endorsed the creation of a Department of Homeland Security. Congress created that Department in accordance with the President's design and has funded it with billions of taxpayer dollars. Four years later, the results are worse than "unacceptable." Indeed, what was until recently an effective and responsive agency providing federal leadership and direction in emergencies, FEMA is under incompetent management and, by all accounts, contributed to increased suffering rather than fulfilling its mission.
Now more than ever Congress needs to fulfill our oversight responsibilities. I see that Senator Collins and Senator Lieberman are beginning to seek accountability. I am told that Senator Kyl put out a statement saying that he intends to hold hearings in our Terrorism and Homeland Security Subcommittee to understand what went wrong and what needs to be done so that we are better prepared in the future. He and I worked together on critical infrastructure issues more than a decade ago. I look forward to the hearings he and Senator Feinstein will hold. We need a credible investigation into the failings, not a partisan one.
This Committee, the Senate and the country face many challenges in the days ahead. We will be conferencing with the House on extending certain provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and increasing accountability in that regard. We need to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. This Committee has been charged with finding more than $300 million in budget cuts in the next few days.
Monday we begin hearings on the President's nomination this week of Judge John Roberts Jr. to succeed Chief Justice Rehnquist. We hope that the President will be consulting with us in connection with who he now intends to substitute as a nominee to succeed Justice O'Connor.
As a nation we are confronted with many challenges right now, including the crisis in the Gulf Coast and the skyrocketing price of gasoline and home heating fuels. That is not our only challenge. Here at home, the gap between the haves and the have-nots has widened with poverty rates increasing, while abroad the Administration's Iraq policy remains in crisis.
The Chairman and I have been working with Senator Landrieu, Senator Vitter and the Administrative Office of the Courts to develop legislation to help the federal court in the Eastern District of Louisiana. The burdensome new requirements of the bankruptcy law revisions set to go into effect on October 17 need to be revisited with respect to hurricane victims who cannot possibly meet them. I am writing the Attorney General to get an assessment of the impact on the federal criminal justice system and will be following up on ways that we can provide assistance to local law enforcement and support state and local courts. Much work lies ahead.
Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy,
Ranking Member, Judiciary Committee
Consideration of the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act
September 8, 2005
I am pleased that today our Committee has turned to consideration of the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, S. 1197, bipartisan legislation that will further our goal of ending domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking. The enactment of the Violence Against Women Act over a decade ago marked an important national commitment to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I am proud to join Senators Biden, Hatch, Specter and others as an original cosponsor of this important measure. I want to especially recognize Senator Biden for his continued commitment to ending violence against women and children.
Earlier in my career as a county prosecutor in Vermont, I witnessed the devastating effects of domestic violence. Violence and abuse affect people of all walks of life every day and regardless of gender, race, culture, age, class or sexuality. Such violence is a crime and it is always wrong, whether the abuser is a family member, someone the victim is dating, a current or past spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend, an acquaintance or a stranger.
The National Crime Victimization Survey estimates there were 691,710 non-fatal, violent incidents committed against victims by current and former spouses, boyfriends or girlfriends - also known as intimate partners - during 2001. Of those incidents, 85 percent were against women. The rate of non-fatal intimate partner violence against women has fallen steadily since 1993, when the rate was 9.8 incidents per 1,000 people. In 2001, the number fell to 5.0 incidents per 1,000 people, nearly a 50 percent reduction, but still unacceptably high. Tragically, however, the survey found that 1,600 women were killed in 1976 by a current or former spouse or boyfriend, while in 2000 some 1,247 women were killed by their intimate partners.
Our Nation has made remarkable progress over the past 25 years in recognizing that domestic violence and sexual assault are crimes. We have responded with better laws, social support and coordinated community responses. Millions of women, men, children and families, however, continue to be traumatized by abuse, leading to increased rates of crime, violence and suffering.
The Violence Against Women Act has provided aid to law enforcement officers and prosecutors, helped stem domestic violence and child abuse, established training programs for victim advocates and counselors, and trained probation and parole officers who work with released sex offenders. Now we on the Judiciary Committee and then the rest of our colleagues in Congress have the opportunity to reauthorize VAWA and make improvements to vital core programs, tighten criminal penalties against domestic abusers, and create new solutions to other crucial aspects of domestic violence and sexual assault. This is an opportunity to help treat children victims of violence, augment health care for rape victims, hold repeat offenders and Internet stalkers accountable, and help domestic violence victims keep their jobs.
Included in VAWA 2005 are reauthorizations of two programs that I initially sponsored that are vital to helping rural communities battle domestic violence in a setting in which isolation can make it more difficult for both victims and law enforcement. In a small, rural state like Vermont, our county and local law enforcement agencies rely heavily on cooperative, interagency efforts to combat and solve significant problems. That is why I sought to include the Rural Domestic Violence and Child Victimization Enforcement Grant Program as part of the original VAWA. This program helps make services available to rural victims and children by encouraging community involvement in developing a coordinated response to combat domestic violence, dating violence and child abuse. Adequate resources combined with sustained commitment will bring about significant improvements in rural areas to the lives of those victimized by domestic and sexual violence.
The Rural Grants Program section of VAWA 2005 reauthorizes and expands the existing education, training and services grant programs that address violence against women in rural areas. This provision renews the rural VAWA program, extends direct grants to state and local governments for services in rural areas and expands areas to include community collaboration projects in rural areas and the creation or expansion of additional victim services. This provision includes new language that expands the program coverage to sexual assault, child sexual assault and stalking. It also expands eligibility from rural states to rural communities, increasing access to rural sections of otherwise highly populated states. This section authorizes $55,000,000 annually for 2006 through 2010, which is an increase of $15 million per year.
The second grant program initiative on which I have focused is the Transitional Housing Assistance Grants for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault or Stalking. This program, which became law as part of the PROTECT Act of 2003, authorizes grants for transitional housing and related services for people fleeing domestic violence, sexual assault or stalkers. At a time when the availability of affordable housing has sunk to record lows, transitional housing for victims is needed now more than ever. Today more than 50 percent of homeless individuals are women and children fleeing domestic violence. We have a glaring problem that is in dire need of a solution and this program is part of the solution.
Transitional housing allows women to bridge the gap between leaving violence in their homes and becoming self-sufficient. Our bill, VAWA 2005, amends the existing transitional housing program by expanding the current direct-assistance grants to include funds for operational, capital and renovation costs. Other changes include providing services to victims of dating violence, sexual assault and stalking; extending the length of time for receipt of benefits to match that used by Housing and Urban Development transitional housing programs; and updating the existing program to reflect the concerns of the service provision community. The provision would increase the authorized funding for the grant from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000.
The Violence Against Women Act passed the Senate in 1994 and with it we declared that the United States takes the problem of violence against women seriously. The law declared that "[a]ll persons within the United States shall have the right to be free from crimes of violence motivated by gender," and we enacted meaningful reform. Regrettably, in United States v. Morrison, the Supreme Court struck down portions of the Act. That case involved a young woman who was allegedly raped by two classmates while attending college. Our law allowed a victim of violence to seek civil remedies when the violence was motivated by gender-based animus. Congress showed in its findings that justice is too often denied to women and a majority of states supported our law and the civil remedy it provided. By a narrow 5 to 4 vote, the Supreme Court struck down this portion of the Violence Against Women Act and second-guessed the judgment of Congress on this remedial cause of action.
This is a stark reminder of what is at stake as we soon consider nominations to fill the current two vacancies on the United States Supreme Court. Consistent with our oaths of office and allegiance to the Constitution, a majority of the United States Senate, the House of Representatives, the President of the United States and four of the nine Justices on the Supreme Court thought the remedial action we provided to victims of violence constitutional. Sadly, it was not enough to save this important aspect of our legislative program from a declaration of unconstitutionality by an activist Supreme Court.
Regrettably, there are members of our Committee who plan to offer amendments today that serve as nothing more than poison pills to sink this bill. Notably, they object to the inclusion of Title VIII, which improves and expands the immigration protections for battered women. It also ensures that victims of trafficking are supported with measures such as permitting their families to join them in certain circumstances, expanding the duration of a T-visa, and providing resources to victims who assist in investigations or prosecutions of trafficking cases brought by state or federal authorities. I find it shameful that someone would move to strike provisions that aim to protect the most vulnerable members of our population, particularly as we are reminded so vividly by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina that government's most crucial role is that of protecting and helping those who need it most. I will oppose these amendments.
According to the annual Vermont Crime Report, the number of forcible rapes reported in Vermont increased in 2004 to the highest level in seven years, while the amount of violent crime remained unchanged and overall crime fell by about 5 percent from 2003. Reported incidents of rape rose by 58 percent, from 117 in 2003 to 185 in 2004. The average age of the victim was 21, 47 percent of victims were younger than 18 years old, in 74 percent of the cases the perpetrator was an acquaintance of the victim, and in a quarter of the cases the defendant was a family member or intimate partner of the victim. In only 1 percent of the cases was the perpetrator a stranger. These figures cause me concern because violent crime has declined throughout our nation during that same time period. Numbers like these are why reauthorizing VAWA is so vital.
Now it is time to strengthen the prevention of violence against women and children and its devastating costs and consequences. This legislation is an important part of our efforts to increase awareness of the problem of violence, to save the lives of battered women, rape victims and children who grow up with violence and to continue progress against the devastating tragedy of domestic violence. I urge prompt action on this legislation.

What was Jaylee Dutcher up to Thursday evening?
"I'm just here to show you how I skate at the skate park," the 8 year-old said nonchalantly.
Jaylee had only been skating for 4 days, but she was already rocking it!
"I go on big jumps and I go fast," she said. "It's super fun, I don't really get scared."
Jaylee also dances and skis; you could call her an adrenaline junkie in the making.
"She's absolutely fearless," said her dad, Jason.
Jaylee definitely doesn't let the fact that she has Spina Bifida slow her down. When Jaylee was born, she had a small opening in her back leaving her paralyzed from that opening down, much like her idol Aaron Fotherinham. He's a stunt man on the TV show Nitro Circus.
"He really inspired me to do this cause I really wanted to be like him," Jaylee said.
Aaron also has Spina Bifida, and he just performed the world's first double back flip in a wheelchair. His attitude is just as impressive as his moves.
"When someone says you can't do something it kind of upsets me and makes me want to do it," Aaron said in one interview.
That message is one Jason knows his daughter will hold on to for life, because for her first 8 years, she has already been living it.
"She has never let Spina Bifida ever stop her from doing what she wants to do," Jason said.
And what she wants to do right now, is show up the boys at the skate park.

Welcome to our JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes Marching for Mickey team page!
My brother Jay is turning 50 this year and for 33 years he has lived with type 1 diabetes. For 60% of his life he has been dependent on insulin to live. Can you imagine that? I can't. But my son, Steven can...he was diagnosed with type 1 six years ago at age 22. He and Jay share the ups and downs of this disease. Our Dad - Mickey, had type 2 and in his last years took insulin to manage.
Up until our DAD was 82, he and our Mom walked for JDRF and were faithful fundraisers for the cause. Now we are taking up the March. I serve as a volunteer for the Chicago JDRF chapter and our whole family will walk again this year.
Please help us honor our Dad, and make progress in finding a cure for the disease that impacts my brother and son. We need your support and they need a cure.
And lets face it, we aren't asking you to prick your finger and test your blood sugar level 10 times a daily every day like Jay and Steven do...or wear an insulin pump 24/7 like they do. We are asking you to slide your credit card out of your wallet and make a generous donation.
Thank you for your support,

The Broncos had to trim their roster to 75 players today, and after releasing/waiving three yesterday, the team got to the league mandated number with two more transactions today.
The Broncos released wide receiver Taylor Jacobs and placed Carlton Powell on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced.
Jacobs joined the Broncos on November 6 of last year and played in six games. He was waived earlier this offseason and then rejoined the team for training camp.
The Broncos selected Powell in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft, but he injured his right Achilles tendon during the team's offseason conditioning program in July.

Green Thread can be created using 3 Jungle Grass Seeds at an Alchemy Station.
Growing an artificial Jungle on the surface can be helpful as Trees spawn on the grass on their own providing a constant source of Wood without having to replant the trees. However it should be noted that for trees to grow the grass must be allowed to grow as well since there are no "planted" saplings.
A good strategy to getting jungle grass seeds is to destroy the Jungle grass while walking around in the Underground Jungle; making a "farm" to cut the Seeds is usually an inefficient strategy due to the low drop rate. You can also connect mud blocks to existing jungle mud and allow the grass to spread naturally.
Jungle grass can grow jungle spores so Underground Jungles can be used to make rose farms, very similar to mushroom and glowing mushroom farms. Jungle grass will need sunlight to spread, much like regular grass, but, as of 1.0.5, Jungle Spores only grow below, at the Rock Layer. With the changes to the Jungle Roses in 1.0.6, they have been known to grow near the surface. The Shadow Orb (Spell), when in proximity of transplanted Jungle Grass, will let it spread.
Update Info
- Jungle Seeds now used to make Green Thread (which replaced Green Dye in crafting the Hero outfit.)
- Bug fixed that prevented Jungle Grass Seeds from dropping.
- Introduced.

iii since borrowing is discretionary. After the average EFC, gift aid and work-study amounts were taken into consideration across all students with need, unmet need for low-income dependent students averaged $3,200, $4,300, and $7,300 respectively at community colleges, public universities, and private institutions. When student loans were added in, unmet need continued to average $3,100 at community colleges for low-income students, but was reduced to $2,300 and $2,400 at public universities and private institutions. Figure A provides unmet need data by income quintile and school type for dependent students as well as aid amounts by types of aid both before and after student loans. Remaining need was larger, however, for independent students across all sectors before loans. After loans, it continued to be larger than that for dependent students primarily at community colleges. Average unmet need for first quintile independent students at community colleges after loans was $5,500 compared to $3,200 for dependent students. Nearly 65 percent of dependent students and 80 percent of independent students still had remaining need after all student aid was taken into consideration. For these dependent students unmet need was comparable across all school types averaging $3,600 at community colleges, $3,500 at public universities, and $4,000 at private institutions. Net Price Net price, the difference between the student's cost (budget) and financial aid was also considered both before and after student loans. Before loans, net price was lowest at community colleges; it averaged $3,300, $4,600, and $7,600 for low-income dependent students at community colleges, public universities, and private institutions respectively. For middle-income students net price before loans was $8,000, $11,000, and $13,000 respectively. After loans were taken into consideration, first, second, and third quintile dependent students at public universities had the lowest net price for their respective income quintiles. For first quintile students, after loans, the net price at a public university was $2,500, followed by $2,600 at private institutions, and $3,200 at community colleges. Even though community colleges had lower overall costs, the availability of financial aid at four-year institutions compensated for this price difference. While this suggests that the availability of financial aid makes choice among different types of institutions a viable option in Illinois, the majority of low-income students who chose to attend a four-year institution incurred substantial loan indebtedness. Net price was also compared to the EFC and only for fourth and fifth quintile students at four-year institutions did the EFC consistently exceed net price. EFC Comparison The federal need analysis exacts a greater EFC from certain independent students – those with no dependents – at comparable income levels than from other students. To determine whether independent students at the same relative family financial strength as dependent students, were as likely to receive the same amount of aid, comparisons were made across EFC ranges rather than income quintiles. The least difference in remaining need between dependency types across all categories was at public universities; in the $0-999 EFC category remaining need was less for independents than dependents at this school type. Generally, however, remaining need for independents exceeded that for dependent students when assessed by EFC categories. Conclusion The most critical sources of financial aid for Illinois students are the Federal Pell Grant, the state MAP grant, federal student loans, and institutional gift aid. Unmet need will continue to grow for students as college costs increase unless these sources of funding keep pace. This will require a joint commitment to the unwritten contract of funding higher education for students with need – the state will have to place a high priority on MAP funding, the federal government will need to be pressured to raise Pell grant maximums, loan limits will need increased while holding interest rates down so overall indebtedness doesn't grow, and institutions will need to re-examine every available funding source for revenue streams which can be committed to student aid.

Online shopping continues to show a growth trend throughout some top European countries. Even where traditionally the European market has been lower, Forrester estimates that by 2016, online shopping will increase 11%-19% for countries like the U.K. and Spain respectively. The reasons are varied, but the highest rated cited explanations for an increase in online shopping are: saving time, product selection, and keeping up with current trends.
According to Don Davis of Internet Retailer, "By 2016, online sales will account for more than 14% of total retail sales in the United Kingdom and more than 10% in Germany, the two leading European markets in online sales, Forrester analyst Martin Gill projects in his report, "European Online Retail Forecast: 2011 to 2016."
This completely drives home why US companies need to have a user-friendly website, as well as attempt to incorporate international shipping. The demand is only going to continue to skyrocket, and US merchants should answer with a strong supply.

Not too many people saw this coming. Parliamentary reporters, though, were beginning to ask where Jack Layton had vanished in the depths of summer.
This week Canadians found out, in a shocking way, what had become of the leader of the New Democratic Party and, as of last May's federal election, the leader of Canada's official Opposition. Layton convened a press conference to announce he was taking a leave from politics to battle cancer.
Although some observers in retrospect had noted a change in his appearance a few weeks ago, the Jack Layton who met the media Monday — drawn, much older-looking, with a thin and quavering voice — left Canadians stunned by this sudden decline.
Layton announced that medical tests conducted last week — when he turned 61 — revealed he is afflicted by a "new cancer," which is taken to mean an occurrence that is not directly connected to the prostate cancer he had battled for 18 months, and seemingly beat, earlier this year.
He had recovered well enough to fight a vigorous election campaign — albeit using a cane due to hip surgery — that resulted in what is accepted as one of the most resounding personal triumphs ever in Canadian politics.
Layton brought the perennial third party, a moderate socialist coalition of unionists, activists, farmers, idealistic youth and urban reformers, from a rump that only once won more than 40 seats to a 103-member strong Opposition. In so doing, the NDP replaced the venerable Liberal Party of Canada as the would-be alternative to the governing Conservatives.
Layton, who was raised in a Montreal-area suburb and is the scion of a family with deep political roots in Quebec, scored huge in the French-speaking province, winning 59 seats from a starting point of one. This historic breakthrough all but wiped out the once-mighty separatist Bloc Quebecois from the federal Parliament and sparked talk of a new openness to Canada among Quebec nationalists.
Analysts attribute the NDP wave in Quebec — the orange tide, they call it, referring to the party's colors — almost entirely to Layton's personal popularity. People who would never have considered giving the party a second's thought found Layton to be "un bon Jack" as the expression goes and rewarded his pluck and pretty decent street French with an avalanche of votes, electing a crop of new MPs, some of whom had had only a passing acquaintance with the ridings they now represent.
One example is Ruth Ellen Brosseau, a university pub manager in Ottawa, single mother, unpolished French speaker and casual supporter of the NDP. She agreed to be a candidate in a rural, completely francophone riding, got swept up in the orange tide and found herself the MP for a place she has never visited. Brosseau and nearly 60 more newbies from Quebec rode Layton's ample coat-tails to Ottawa.
Cancer, of course, can be beaten, and there are plenty of examples to inspire Layton in what is literally the fight of his life. Yet, given his shrunken physical state, even the most optimistic observer would agree it's doubtful Layton will be back in his seat when Parliament reconvenes in mid-September.
Worse, the NDP caucus members, whom but weeks before were giddy with the excitement of their surprise triumph, need to come to terms with the fact that Layton may be out of the picture indefinitely. And that may mean a struggle for control of the party that Jack built into a contender.
So the fate of the party and in the longer term, the direction of the nation, rests with the talents of Jack Layton's doctors, or with his faith, if you prefer. This blow to a man who won the admiration of fans and foes alike for his optimism and courage, is being felt deeply within a country that had just embraced Layton as a beacon of hope and determination.
Canadians surely are hoping that Jack can pull off another huge victory against a tenacious and cruel foe.

The obvious evidence of the failure of governmental support programs. I am addressing aid to the able-bodied, not the truely disabled.
We have many food programs, both government and private. Yet, there still seems to be the necessity to feed a free breakfast, lunch and after-school snack, plus summer nutrition programs, to school-age individuals. If the food programs worked, these free feedings would be unnecessary, as funds have all ready been spent to feed these children. If the subsidized housing programs were realistic, the residents wouldn't have the possessions, especially the cars, they have.
They apparently have discretionary income, due to the lower or non-existent sheltering costs they enjoy. The use, and overuse, of emergency rooms at hospitals by indigent people, resulting in much higher costs than the already funded public health system. Plus, remember the occasional cases of fraud that are actually prosecuted, never mind the actual extent of fraud in all programs.
So it is clear that all too many work the system to their maximum advantage. Fail to correctly use the funding received and in essense live off of the public dole for no other reason than they can.

And what does this mean: "You must also respond positively when asked to carry out any instruction"???? For a start, you don't "ask" someone to comply with an instruction, you instruct someone to do something. If you are instructing you aren't asking, are you? And what if the instruction is unreasonable, stupid (wouldn't be at all surprised judging by the stupid ad), or worse? What if the person was asked / instructed to eat up all the human hair on the floor? Is that required? Or would you need an NVQ in eating human hair first? Probably. |

There is a problem with this idea already.
We're not giving outbound links. If there is a site covering a topic worth discussion, we'll cover the same topic ourselves. That may take time but in we link to one web site of ours, not someody else's. Mind you we're not copying content; we're pretty good in our niche and can do a writeup on any reasonably relevant topic. For a not relevant topic, we just do not link at all.
Considering the above, whatever "flow"-link system is used, still I see it only leads to more domains. I have certain evidence in our niche the competition is doing the same way, so we get just several sets of pages/domains covering the same topics and interlinked within a set but never across the sets.

From your descriription, it sounds like more than a lilt to me. Your 'oi' pronunciation if the vowel in 'high' is the natural pronunciation in your variety of English. If you just attempt to change one or two vowel/diphthong sounds, you will sound very unnatural, both to brummies and to speakers of RP.
Unless you feel that your accent is holding you back socially or professionally, then I suggest that you think carefully before attempting to change it. Some people can quickly change their accents with little effort; others never manage it despite months of work and, possibly, spending a lot of money on an elecutionist. There is also the risk of alienating friends, who may feel that you are putting on airs.

Operation Summary for January 25, 2010 - January 27, 2010 |
Monday Jan. 25 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 7534 (59.01E30) and the stash (260.6E10), with the Antiproton Source stacking (15.0E10), with Linac, Booster, and Main Injector (MI) operating normally, with the NuMI, MiniBooNE, and MTest experiments taking beam, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiments using the colliding beams. During the day shift, Linac personnel tuned the H- Source to allow it to run for another day. Operations terminated store 7534 at 8:30 AM and then put the TeV into HEP shot setup. Operations established store 7535 at 10:15 AM with an average initial luminosity (AIL) of 206.9E30. During the evening shift, at 7:05 PM the Pelletron tripped off; a Recycler person came in and fixed it. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 10 PM. Tuesday Jan. 26 The midnight shift began with Operations monitoring store 7535 (57.93E30) and the stash (331.5E10), with Pbar stacking (15.7E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. During the midnight shift, Operations terminated store 7535 at 2 AM, put the TeV into shot setup, and also turned off the beam to Pbar. Operations established store 7536 at 4 AM with an AIL of 244.89E30. Operations turned off the beam to NuMI and MiniBooNE at 5:30 AM in preparation for the shutdown to repair the H- Source. During the day shift, Operations maintained a small Recycler stash throughout the day for studies. The rest of the complex was in shutdown for various safety system tests and maintenance work while the Linac personnel removed the H- Source for cleaning and replaced a failing ion pump. During the evening shift, Interlock technicians completed the Booster safety system tests. TeV personnel conducted crystal collimator studies. Wednesday Jan. 27 The midnight shift began with the H- Source down for repairs, with Operations monitoring store 7536 (35.77E30), with Recycler personnel conducting studies, and the rest of the complex off. During the midnight shift, the Recycler studies finished at 4 AM and safety system tests began. Operations had the MI and Recycler ready for access by 5 AM.

Very nice park, lots of things to do. Very kept up and clean. Sometimes the park is full and we head over the Lake Aire RV Park off Hwy. 17 south on Hwy. 162. It is a pleasant, quieter park. Great pool and people. They had free wireless at the sites and was very clean.

The park was wonderful. We wanted a nice quiet get away and that's what it is. The pool was refreshing and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We had a picnic table and fire ring on our site. For a small fee, they brought fire wood to us. The lake was low, but we still enjoyed the view and even caught fish! There was a gas station less than 1/4 mi. away, which was very convenient. The bathhouse was very clean, and the free wireless internet at our site was nice. We will be back soon.

Carbon counter Carbonetworks grabs funds
Software company Carbonetworks on Monday is expected to announce it has secured $5 million in series A financing, led by clean-tech venture firm NGEN Partners.
The company's software could be described as a carbon accounting package. It allows corporations to do an inventory of their greenhouse gas emissions and provides them with an application to manage a program to cut down on those emissions.
A company could, for example, achieve reduction goals by making data centers operations more efficient or purchasing carbon offsets.
There are already regulations in Europe to restrict emissions of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. But … Read more

OTTAWA, Ont. -- Gary Etcheverry is out as the head football coach of the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees.
The school announced Sunday that Etcheverry had been released as its interim football coach. No immediate replacement was named.
"This is a change that we do not take lightly in any way," Colin Timm, the school's Assistant Director of Programs for Sports Services, said in a statement. "We need to ensure that we are putting ourselves in a position to move this program forward.
"It had become apparent that in order to do so we needed to take this action."
The move comes a day after Ottawa (0-5) dropped a 32-25 decision to Queen's but the Gee-Gees remain last in the OUA standings.
Etcheverry, a former head coach of the CFL's Toronto Argonauts and a long-time defensive co-ordinator in the league, had been on the hotseat at Ottawa for implementing a non-traditional double-wing offence.
The Gee-Gees travel to Toronto to face the Varsity Blues on Saturday.
In its statement, the school said it hopes to select a permanent head football coach following the Grey Cup on Nov. 25 in Toronto.

Leave it to Charlie Sheen to start another child custody battle only two days after Mother's Day.
But this time, it had nothing to do with Brooke Mueller...
READ: Charlie's goddess trades him for Playboy!
Sheen went face-to-face with Denise Richards in a law office yesterday asking that their daughters Sam and Lola spend weekends with him, a source confirms.
The tiger blood-infused warlock didn't get what he wanted.
While Sheen could take Richards to court to try and change their custody agreement, the source said he's given no indication that he will. "Denise wants Charlie to be healthy," the source said. "She wants the girls to see him, but certain behaviors need to be shut down."
Sheen apparently hasn't seen his daughters in quite some time.
"This is up to Charlie," the source continued. "If he wants to be a dad, he can be. But he has to prove he's healthy and has his life in order."
Reps for Richards and Sheen did not immediately comment.

So has anyone used these vs the OR crocodiles?
I'll be using them for ice climbing and glacier travel mostly.
Matt Park

One of my buddies had these and I have the croc's and his looks shredded and mine don't. The croc's are just so burly!

So initially I was quite dissapointed in these since the closing mechanism is a little weak, but after a few trips, I love them. They fit my boots a lot better than OR expiditions and are much lighter.
A little dissapointed
Kurt Zogorski
Member since
Just looking at them out of the box, I'm not impressed. The main reinforced area is super tough but doesnt cover very much. I think it would be much better if the reinforced piece covered the entire inner leg section. Also. the strap and buckle mechanism is no where near as smooth as the OR crocodiles. I was really hoping to get rid of the OR's, but it looks like I'll be keeping them and returning these.
I will field test them this weekend and see how they do.
A little worried

I got these for winter hiking and I really think they work great. They keep me dry though I do end up with a lot of frost on the inside of them.
The sizing is a little odd though. I ordered a large (size 11 non plastic boots)and the bottom didn't fit around my boots but the calf fit nicely. I got an XL and they fit nicely around my boots but I've got the tops pulled as tight as they go. It works though.
The reason I'm worried is the reinforced section is only glued on and its already starting to peel away from the rest of the gaiter. I've used them maybe 6 times so far. Durability may be an issue.

I had the same problem with them on my plastic boots, the bottoms are tight but the tops are to loose! lol The cinch does not tighten enough on them .

I couldn't find a full view of these anywhere on the web. So here's a hopefully helpful picture. The lighter part in the instep and the logo sits right in the middle of my calf

I have used these to climb Mt Timpanogos and am pleased with them. The construction, materials, are top notch. I think you might want to size up a bit I ordered the Medium and had to trade them for the large. I am a fan of BD equipment.
What is the durability of the inner leg...
Kurt Zogorski
Member since
What is the durability of the inner leg section. Is is the same or weaker than 1000 D cordura? How much weaker/stronger?
Bryan Vernetson
Member since
Should be a welded double layer 600d abrasion guard. You can see the seam about halfway down where the fabric changes. That is where you start to get the burlier fabric.
Will these fit over a full AT ski boot...
Member since
Will these fit over a full AT ski boot like the Scarpa F1, F3, or Spirit 4?
Member since
Yes. It will adjust to a variety of boot sizes.
Matt Paine
Member since
I would say no. I can hardly manage to fit them over my ice climbing boots. I have the large and wear size 10.5 Millet Radikal boots. Unless you have a small foot and get the XL gaiters and can live with a very loose calf, I say look somewhere else.
The BLACK IS BACK !!!

I wanted to get a very tuff water proof alpine gator after last year cutting my old shit Ems pair with my crampons on Mount Washington . I tried the Or expedition gator that is around the same price and has a shit load of great feedback, But truth be told they suck ! if anyone says they are easy to get on your a meathead who just likes giving false reviews! They are stiff and fit like crap!!! and come it 2 sizes to big! and are very loose and impossible to get a seal around the boot! These black diamonds kick ass! they fit perfect! miles ahead of OR shit boxes! trust me im very picky maybe to picky on how these fit, and that is over LA Sportiva Evo mountaineering boots! These are better made all they way material ease of use etc etc , they also look nicer! give these a shot they are the best in the class! I will use these this winter on a night climb on mw.

NAMB guidelines for military chaplains updated to address same-sex unions

What is the first book in the Bible?
* = Required Fields
ALPHARETTA, Ga. (BP) -- The North American Mission Board has issued new guidelines for Southern Baptist military chaplains in light of the U.S. military's recognition of same-sex marriage. The guidelines reiterate Southern Baptist doctrine and the expectation that SBC chaplains will not participate in or attend wedding ceremonies for gay members of the military.
For podcast about the
new chaplain guidelines
"Our chaplains want to uphold the authority and relevancy of Scripture while continuing to serve in a very diverse setting," said Doug Carver, the retired Army major general who leads NAMB's chaplaincy efforts. "We believe these updated guidelines will help them do that while still sharing the love and the hope of Christ with everyone."
The updated guidelines are being issued in response to the military's repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and the U.S. Supreme Court's abolishment of the Defense of Marriage Act. The U.S. military requires all chaplains to be endorsed by a recognized denomination. NAMB serves as the endorsing entity on behalf of Southern Baptists.
The updated guidelines address four specific areas:
Doctrine -- Chaplains will be expected to conduct their ministry in harmony with Article XVIII of the Baptist Faith and Message 2000: "All ministries regarding human sexuality will reflect the historic, natural and biblical view of marriage as God's lifelong gift of 'the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime.'"
Pastoral care -- The guidelines remind chaplains that Southern Baptists view all sexual immorality as sin that violates God's biblical standards for purity and that "Responsible pastoral care will seek to offer repentance and forgiveness, help and healing, and restoration through the mercy and grace of Jesus Christ's sacrificial gift of love on the cross," the document states.
Restrictions -- The guidelines state that "NAMB-endorsed chaplains will not conduct or attend a wedding ceremony for any same-sex couple, bless such a union or perform counseling in support of such a union, assist or support paid contractors or volunteers leading same-sex relational events, nor offer any kind of relationship training or retreat, on or off of a military installation, that would give the appearance of accepting the homosexual lifestyle or sexual wrongdoing. This biblical prohibition remains in effect irrespective of any civil law authorizing same-sex marriage or benefits to the contrary." Chaplains also are prohibited from participating in jointly-led worship services "with a chaplain, contractor or volunteer who personally practices a homosexual lifestyle or affirms a homosexual lifestyle or such conduct."
Pluralism -- The guidelines acknowledge that SBC chaplains serve in a pluralistic setting but expect, under U.S. Department of Defense guidelines, that the rights and freedoms of chaplains will be protected so they may "preach, teach and counsel in accordance with the tenets of their denominational faith group and their own religious conscience." In addition, chaplains are expected to: "Treat all service members, regardless of rank or behavior, with Christ-centered dignity, honor and respect while assisting the institutional leadership in its religious mission requirements and responsibilities as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution."
"We are confident that our chaplains are already conducting their ministries with sound doctrine and in accordance to Baptist Faith and Message 2000," Carver said. "These guidelines simply provide clarification on specific issues and give our chaplains the freedom and protection for their ministry. We are also obligated to communicate to U.S. military officials about the expectations we have for our chaplains."
NAMB President Kevin Ezell expressed support for SBC military chaplains and emphasized the need for Southern Baptists to remember them in prayer.
"For many members of our military -- especially those deployed around the globe -- our chaplains are the only pastors they have. That's why it is so important that they uphold sound doctrine while showing everyone the love and forgiveness Jesus offers. We all need to be committed to praying for them in these challenging days."

As Talks Begin, Iran And World Powers Stake Out Positions
As talks opened in Baghdad today, "diplomats from six world powers offered Iran new proposals Wednesday to ease international concerns about its nuclear program, but appeared to reject Tehran's appeals to ease economic sanctions to help move along talks," The Associated Press reports.
NPR's Peter Kenyon tells our Newscast Desk that "negotiators hope to set out a step by step process that the U.S. hopes will eventually lead to an end to Iran's enrichment program and Iran hopes will ease punitive sanctions that are choking its economy. But hardliners on both sides are casting doubt on the prospects for a diplomatic solution to the standoff."
According to the AP, "the proposal by the U.S. and its negotiation partners focused on Iran's highest-level uranium enrichment — at 20 percent — which many world leaders fear could be quickly turned into warhead-grade material." Details about the offer were not revealed, AP says.
The BBC reports that "as the talks began, a spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the world powers were putting a new offer to Tehran. The spokesman, Michael Mann, would not confirm whether this offer included any relief on sanctions."
While Iran says its efforts are focused only on peaceful uses for nuclear energy, the U.S. and its allies in the negotiations want to head off any effort by that nation to develop atomic weapons. The world powers at the table with Iran are China, France, Germany, Russia, the U.K. and the U.S.
Tuesday, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency told reporters that Iran has agreed to give the IAEA access to its key nuclear-related facilities.
