Montana Rep. Denny Rehberg has been pounding Democratic Sen. Jon Tester over lobbyist fundraising in their tight Senate race, but Rehberg declared last year in a meeting with the influence peddlers that he probably would have chosen their profession over his own if he had been "smart."
And further, he declared they were not only honorable, but that he could not do his job without them.
Rehberg made those assertions speaking to the American League of Lobbyists in October at an event that was recorded. The recording was forwarded to The Huffington Post by the Tester campaign.
In the speech, Rehberg recalls how he nearly became a lobbyist.
"A lot of y'all's type came to me and said, 'What are you nuts? You know, if we had the choice of either run for Congress or be a lobbyist, wouldn't you like to try the Congress first?' And I fell for it," Rehberg said. "I ran for Congress. I probably, if I had been smart, I would've said nope, no, I think I'll stay out of the political arena and go into lobbying.
"What I'm trying to suggest is I think lobbying is an honorable profession," he said.
The back-and-forth between Tester and Rehberg over their respective ties to lobbyists has been especially fierce, with Rehberg pointing out repeatedly that Tester has gotten more cash from lobbyists this election than anyone else. Tester's side has hit back by saying that Rehberg's son works for a lobby shop, and that Rehberg hides donations from lobbyists.
"We're pleased that Sen. Tester wants to highlight that Denny chose ranching over lobbying after he left the Lt. Governor's office," said Rehberg spokesman Chris Bond, referring to the career choice Rehberg made before running for Congress. "Given that Tester is the number one recipient of lobbyist money in Congress this cycle, it'll be interesting to see if he chooses farming over lobbying after his unsuccessful reelection bid."
But Rehberg sounded much warmer to the profession last October.
"Thank you for doing it because we can't survive as congressmen or as state legislators or even as presidents without the information and knowledge that you have in the areas of your interest," Rehberg said. "I have to rely on you guys to tell me the information."
Indeed, Rehberg argued that the lobbyists are better than the government.
"Many, many of you are part of the solution, are part of turning this economy around and ending the recession except that government's in your way," he said. "They are, in fact, the enemy, as they're your senior partner and that is not what government was intended to do."
Rehberg especially pointed to the ill-fated Super Committee that failed to agree on deficit cuts, leaving it up to the automatic sequester.
"And they blame lobbyists for the problem? What are they, nuts?" Rehberg said. "It's, it's, it's the Congress itself. It's the dysfunctional Senate and it's got to be changed."
Rehberg's remarks can be heard here.

Lee Atwater: Smear Pioneer
Negative campaigning has become more effective since 1828, though at times no less brutal. Many attribute this growing efficiency to the legacy of Republican strategist Lee Atwater. The former RNC chairman may have been best known as a driving force behind political ads such as the iconic Willie Horton commercial against Michael Dukakis in 1988, but his past involvement in smear campaigns is much deeper. Slate reports on Atwater's earlier career:
In 1973, the 22-year-old protégé of South Carolina Sen. Strom Thurmond began his consulting career by publicizing the fact that Tom Turnipseed, a candidate for the state Senate, had undergone shock therapy as a young man: "They hooked him up to jumper cables" became the catchphrase that sunk Turnipseed's candidacy. Five years later, Atwater helped to defeat Max Heller, a Holocaust survivor running for U.S. Congress, by secretly enlisting a third candidate to enter the race and stir up anti-Semitic sentiment. Atwater finagled his way into a minor post in the Reagan administration, but it was as the director of George H.W. Bush's 1988 presidential campaign (and mastermind of the Willie Horton TV ads) that he found his true Machiavellian voice.

The Wrong Jim Brady
The potential perils of attack politics were on full display in 1996 when then-GOP Senate candidate Al Salvi attempted to knock down a high-profile endorsement given to his opponent, then-Rep. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), by former Ronald Reagan Press Secretary Jim Brady. Brady "used to sell" machine guns, Salvi alleged, a strong claim considering Brady's position as strong advocate for gun control and victim of a gunshot wound to the head during a failed assassination attempt on President Reagan in 1981. Salvi was wrong. "Turns out that was a different Jim Brady," a blushing Salvi was later forced to admit. "I apologize." Salvi ended up losing to Durbin.
Attacking A Triple-Amputee For Lack Of Courage
In 2002, Saxby Chambliss, then a Georgia GOP congressman mounting a bid for U.S. Senate, released a controversial ad falsely accusing then-Sen. Max Cleland (D), a triple-amputee Vietnam War veteran, of voting against the nation's national security interest. It placed Cleland next to images of Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein and suggested that the senator lacked "courage." Chambliss, who didn't serve in Vietnam because of a bad knee, drew widespread condemnation from Republican military veterans in the Senate such as Arizona Sen. John McCain and Nebraska Sen. Chuck Hagel. In a 2008 interview, Chambliss, who had eventually gone on to defeat Cleland six years earlier, stood by his ad as "truthful in every way."
Jean Schmidt Blasts 'Cowards'
Long before Rep. Jean Schmidt (R-Ohio) uttered shrieks of joy because of false reports that the Supreme Court had ruled against Obamacare, she outraged colleagues on the House floor by suggesting that Vietnam veteran Rep. John Murtha (D-Penn.), was a "coward." In 2005, Schmidt addressed her colleagues in a House speech, relaying a message from a Marine who she said had urged her to support an extension of the Iraq War. "He asked me to send Congress a message: Stay the course," she said. "He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message, that cowards cut and run, Marines never do. Danny and the rest of America and the world want the assurance from this body -- that we will see this through." She later returned to the House floor to have her remarks stricken from the record and to apologize to Murtha.
RNC's Harold Ford Hit
In 2006, the Republican National Committee set off bickering within and between political parties when it decided to air an ad in a Senate race between then-Rep. Harold Ford Jr. (D-Tenn.) and GOP candidate Bob Corker. The ad was chock-full of stereotypes and thinly-veiled racist undertones -- Ford is black. It drew widespread condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans, including Corker himself. Amid the flareup, RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman said he found nothing wrong with the ad, but attempted to blame the content on a third party group. Corker eventually won the election.
Palin's 'Palling Around With Terrorists'
In the heat of the 2008 presidential election, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin lofted a now-infamous charge, drawing immediate criticism from opponents who saw it as an attempt to brand then-candidate Barack Obama as un-American. Some even alleged that it was a racially charged character attack seeking to subtly link the supposed terrorist ties to prevalent right-wing conspiracy theories about Obama's so-called Muslim roots. The Associated Press reports on her comments:
"Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country," Palin told a group of donors in Englewood, Colo. A deliberate attempt to smear Obama, McCain's ticket-mate echoed the line at three separate events Saturday. "This is not a man who sees America like you and I see America," she said. "We see America as a force of good in this world. We see an America of exceptionalism."

'There Is No God'
In 2008, a floundering Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) released an ad attempting to accuse her opponent, Democrat Kay Hagan, of having mysterious ties to a group called Godless Americans. The entire ad struck many observers as a desperate attempt to regain momentum, but the brunt of the controversy came in the last few seconds, when a faceless voice rings out, yelling "there is no God." Many saw it as an attempt to paint the quote as Hagan's. It wasn't. In fact, Hagan was a Sunday School teacher who served as an elder at her Presbyterian church.
Vintage Michele Bachmann
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) had a somewhat rapid ascent to her current status as darling of conservatives and the Tea Party faithful. It was accelerated in part by appearances such as this one in 2008, during which she called into question the "pro-America" views of the Obamas and various members of Congress. HuffPost's Sam Stein reported at the time:
In a television appearance that outraged Democrats are already describing as Joseph McCarthy politics, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann claimed on Friday that Barack Obama and his wife Michelle held anti-American views and couldn't be trusted in the White House. She even called for the major newspapers of the country to investigate other members of Congress to "find out if they are pro-America or anti-America." Appearing on MSNBC's Hardball, Bachmann went well off the reservation when it comes to leveling political charges against the Democratic nominee. "If we look at the collection of friends that Barack Obama has had in his life," she said, "it calls into question what Barack Obama's true beliefs and values and thoughts are. His attitudes, values, and beliefs with Jeremiah Wright on his view of the United States...is negative; Bill Ayers, his negative view of the United States. We have seen one friend after another call into question his judgment -- but also, what it is that Barack Obama really believes?"

'You Lie'
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) embodied a newly emerging brand of hyper-partisanship in 2009 when he interrupted President Barack Obama's major speech on his health care reform package. "You lie!" Wilson yelled over Obama, who was explaining that the legislation would not mandate coverage for undocumented immigrants. Wilson's outburst drew disapproval from both sides of the aisle.
'Baby Killer'
During the heat of the health care debate in 2010, Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) added to the growing partisan discord when he shouted "baby killer" at Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) while he was delivering a speech on the House floor. Stupak, an anti-abortion Democrat, had been under heavy fire from Republicans after crafting a deal with the White House in return for his and other Democrats' "yes" vote on the health care reform bill. The White House held up their end of the bargain with an executive order affirming that no taxpayer money would go to fund abortions.
'No Mosque'
North Carolina GOP congressional candidate Renne Ellmers raised some eyebrows and gave her race national attention when she released an attack ad attempting to link her Democratic challenger to the controversial Park51 Islamic center. The ad was criticized for its apparent interchangeable use of the words "terrorists" and "Muslims," as well as the fact that Ellmers' opponent, incumbent Rep. Bob Etheridge (D) hadn't even weighed in on the issue yet. Ellmers didn't appear to do herself any favors in her attempts to explain the ad during a contentious interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper, but she ended up winning in November after a late surge of momentum.
Alan Grayson's 'Taliban Dan'
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) managed to give his opponent, Republican Dan Webster, a boost after he released an attack ad seeking to label Webster as "Taliban Dan." The spot featured selectively edited quotes from a 2009 Christian seminar that misrepresented Webster's words to suggest that he believed wives should submit to their husbands. Grayson had repeatedly enraged his Republican opponents with biting and at times over-the-top allegations. Comments such as his notorious charge that their health care plan was for Americans to "die quickly" had made him a top target for the GOP. He would lose his election to Webster.
Scott Brown Pictures Stripped Elizabeth Warren
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) did himself no favors in the fall of 2011, when he returned a volley concerning his past nude modeling for Cosmopolitan magazine, a career choice that his Democratic opponent Elizabeth Warren had earlier jabbed at. HuffPost's Ryan Grim reported:
"Have you officially responded to Elizabeth Warren's comment about how she didn't take her clothes off?" the host asked Brown Wednesday. "Thank God!" Brown said, laughing. The host got a kick out it, too. "That's what I said! I said, 'Look, can you blame a good-looking guy for wanting to, you know..."
 His opponents quickly hit back, claiming that the comments were sexist and "the kind of thing you would expect to hear in a frat house, not a race for U.S. Senate."
'Debbie Spend It Now'
Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.) couldn't have picked a bigger stage to launch a now-notoriously insensitive ad against his Democratic opponent, incumbent Sen. Debbie Stabenow. In the middle of the Super Bowl, Hoekstra's campaign rolled out the spot, which featured an Asian-American actress using stereotypically broken English to accuse Stabenow -- or "Spend-It-Now" -- of supporting U.S. government spending habits that benefitted the Chinese economy. The backlash was bipartisan and widespread.
Allen West
Though only a freshman, Tea Party favorite Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) has already staked his political fame on inflammatory and controversial statements. His most well-known claim is now perhaps his contention that as many as 80 House Democrats are members of the Communist Party. His spokesperson later claimed that he was referring to members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Of course, that's just one of a catalogue of Allen West-isms. Click through the slideshow here for a larger sampling.
'True Hero' Battle
Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) began digging himself a hole in July when he suggested that his Democratic opponent, triple-amputee Iraq War veteran Tammy Duckworth, was not a "true hero" because she spoke too frequently about her military service. In the followup, Walsh kept digging deeper on the Duckworth line, claiming that "all she does" is "talk about her service," instead of focusing on other issues. He took a similar angle in a subsequent interview, in which he managed to utter his interviewer's name more than 90 times.

Now, a lot of people in Houston are holding their breath to see what happens with Ken Griffey Jr.
Griffey -- voted by fans into the first-ever starting outfield of all-500 Home Run Club members and scheduled to participate in the Century 21 Home Run Derby -- left the Reds' game Saturday at Milwaukee with a strained right hamstring. He returned to Cincinnati and be examined by Reds medical director Dr. Timothy Kremchek at Beacon Ortopedic Center. It was too early to tell whether the strain would affect Griffey's role in the All-Star festivities.
While many people already here for the festivities will be waiting anxiously to hear the news about Major League Baseball's all-time leading All-Star vote-getter, two other top-vote-getting American Idols were added to Tuesday's lineup. Fantasia, who won this year's competition on the FOX show, will sing the U.S. National Anthem before the game. Ruben Studdard, the previous year's winner in fan voting, will perform "God Bless America" during the seventh-inning stretch at Minute Maid Park.
MLB also officially announced that boxing legend Muhammad Ali will throw out the ceremonial first pitch. Ali, who will be escorted by his 13 year-old son, Asaad, will deliver two baseballs to the mound for the Houston-area Boys & Girls Club members to throw the ceremonial first pitches.
Bring on the sluggers
In an interview with MLB.com's Alyson Footer, Astros owner Drayton McLane said he is moved by better-than-expected attendance so far at the four-day FanFest and that he is especially looking forward to Monday, when commissioner Bud Selig will introduce the members of the 500 Home Run Club in a ceremony at Minute Maid Park.
"Everyone's very excited about that," McLane said. "It's going to be an historic event. To have all of them here in Houston ... it really is going to be an exciting day for the city of Houston and the Houston Astros. Just a great day for baseball."
The next day should be pretty exciting, too, and for the first time ever, fans can actually pre-order an All-Star Game. MLB.com's exclusive Digital Download Service allows fans to transfer the video file (Windows Media 9.0 format) over a high-speed connection for just $3.95. Keep it on your hard drive, then burn it onto a CD (for personal use only). For another $3.95, fans also can own Monday's entire Home Run Derby.
Saw it on the radio
MLB.com Radio will begin live coverage of Sunday's New York Mercantile Exchange All-Star Futures Game starting at 3 p.m. ET (the game begins at 4), and the show's live set at George R. Brown Convention Center was the place to be Saturday for FanFest visitors who fired questions from the crowd. The show was simulcast, allowing fans to watch the live video stream or listen to the live audio stream. The live guests included popular local fixture Larry Dierker, the former Astros player and manager, who joined Billy Sample and talked about topics including the longball.
Speaking about the arrival of all living members of the 500 Home Run Club, Dierker recalled when he was selected to the 1969 All-Star Game and one of his National League teammates took over a show that day.
"I think I actually saw the roots of the Home Run Derby being planted," Dierker said. "We were taking batting practice, and Willie Mays stepped in and hit five or six home runs in a row. A lot of people got there early, they started cheering, and when he got up to nine or 10 it was a standing ovation. He finally hit one that didn't get out of park. It was a spontaneous home run derby that he put on. It was unbelievable.
"I also remember that Roberto Clemente hit a ball that would have been in the upper deck but was maybe five feet foul. The thing that was remarkable is he hit it to the opposite field. I've never seen a guy hit a ball that far in the opposite direction. It was up there enough that had it been fair it would have been an opposite-field homer in the upper deck."
There is another side to home runs, and there was also an example why MLB.com Radio is good for the average baseball coach, dad or mom as well. One FanFest visitor at the MLB.com Radio set introduced himself as a high school baseball coach and asked Dierker, "Is the home run hurting baseball? Right now we have a lot of kids coming up to high school ball who aren't fundamentally sound -- they see on TV that the home run is the big thing and want to do it as well."
Dierker replied: "It seems a lot of the big leaguers do, too. They want to hit the spectacular home run and go back to the hotel and turn the TV on and see if they're going to be on the highlight reel. I think it's your job, because in a sense you're the professional, you're getting paid to be the baseball coach, so it's your job to put it in perspective to them.
"Having watched my son play and talking to people around the ballpark, the only thing that really bothers me is that most of the coaches call the pitches for the pitchers. It might help you win, but I don't see how somebody sitting in the dugout can instinctively in their mind know when the pitcher feels he can throw a curveball or a fastball for a strike. The coaches say, 'We can't throw a fastball now,' so they call for a curveball now when the kid can't get it over. How is he gonna learn? If everything's done for him, the only thing he does is look for the sign, he doesn't think about what he should throw and why, what works and what doesn't. It takes the mental aspect of the pitching away from the athlete. We get a lot of young players coming into pro ball who, even in college, have never called their own game. You learn a lot better when you have to do it yourself."
All-Star Sunday fun
MLB.com has the Futures Game bios to prepare fans for what has become a popular addition to All-Star week. Connected fans have the chance to e-mail a question to a U.S. or World team member and have it asked during the game. Keep an eye out for details in the hours leading up to the game.

For NATO, standardization is the development and implementation of concepts, doctrines and procedures that aim to achieve and maintain compatibility, interchangeability or commonality needed for interoperability. Interoperabilty – the ability to work in synergy in executing assigned tasks – can greatly increase the effectiveness of NATO's operations and activities through a more efficient use of resources.
The Committee for Standardization meets twice yearly and reports annually to the NAC on standardization activities. It was created in 2001 to oversee the work of the NATO Standardization Organization, which resulted from the merger of two separate standardization bodies, one civilian and one military.

'Woodstock' Remembered
Saturday, August 18, 2012
It was 43 years ago Today -- August 18th, 1969 -- that the Woodstock Music and Art Fair wrapped with Jimi Hendrix's incendiary set after more than three days of music in Bethel, New York. More than 450,000 people converged upon the small upstate town to hear rock's biggest bands perform. Although Woodstock was neither the first nor last major festival concert, the fact that the youth of America were able to congregate in one place with no violence during one of the most turbulent years of the decade, gave birth to the notion of the "Woodstock Nation" and gave a voice -- and a face -- to the hippie ideal.
Artists who performed at the legendary festival included Joan Baez, Country Joe McDonald & the Fish, Arlo Guthrie, Richie Havens, Mountain, Janis Joplin, the Who, the Band, Canned Heat, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Grateful Dead, Sly & the Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Sha Na Na, John Sebastian, Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Joe Cocker, and many, many more.
The first day of the festival served to ease the crowd into the music and feature folk groups. The headliner the first day was Joan Baez, who talked about her expectations during the helicopter ride to the grounds: "It was pretty clear on the helicopter ride into Woodstock this was going to be (laughs) a historic weekend. And it was. I mean, I was in the helicopter with Janis Joplin and my mother and my manager. My overwhelming sense was, 'What a treat. I get to be back at this end of the place where everybody, all the entertainers are, meet them all and get fed and treated like a queen (laughs) and hang out in the mud.' It was amazing."
Creedence Clearwater Revival performed on the second day of Woodstock, when the bill featured harder rock acts. CCR's Doug Clifford recalled the feeling of the crowd at that time: "Here you have a half a million people, or whatever it is, under the worst of conditions -- no bathrooms, no food, no water, no shelter. It's raining, and the vibe was just mellow. People were just doing anything they could to help each other out and they were just grooving. They figured, 'Hey, we're here. It is what it is,' and you don't see that, especially in this day and age."
Photographer Elliott Landy was commissioned by Michael Lang, one of the festival's organizers, to take photos of the three-day event. Chances are if you've seen a photo from the festival, Landy was the one who took it. Landy said he believes that Bob Dylan had a huge influence on the transformation of the now-legendary small town in upstate New York: "At the time, Woodstock was just becoming the mecca for music in the Sixties. It became that because Bob Dylan moved there and in the '60s, Bob Dylan and the Beatles were the biggest bands around. And Bob was really, at that time, the most influential, and he lived in Woodstock. And because he lived in Woodstock, a lot of other people went up there -- the Band went up there, and Richie Havens went up there, and Janis Joplin was there -- even Jimi Hendrix was there for a while. A lot of people kind of coalesced, I guess, in Woodstock during that period."
Landy says the experience of Woodstock is something he'll never forget -- for three days, the outside world didn't exist: "The experience of Woodstock, what Woodstock was about, was it took a person who was part of the bigger, of the larger world -- with all its tax problems and its bank problems and its money problems and family problems and responsibility to family and blah, blah, blah -- and it cut everybody off from everything. You were part of a new universe. It was almost like you were transported and put into a new world, and the world was Woodstock."
Organizer Michael Lang said that Jimi Hendrix's manager Michael Jeffries drove a hard bargain in cementing Hendrix as the festival's closer: "One day I went to his agent's office, to try to sort of definitively try to get this done or not, and came up with the idea of offering him two shows. I wanted him to open the festival with an acoustic set, and close with the band. And I would pay him $15,000 per set. So now, he's getting $30,000. And the other problem was that I'd established this idea of alphabetical billing and everybody getting 100 percent billing, 'cause I sort of wanted this equality between everybody. And I had no problem with any other group except Jimi again, because Michael wanted him to have 100 percent star billing, and I said, 'Well, you'll get it. So will everybody else (laughs)." )
Sly & the Family Stone drummer Greg Errico (pronounced uh-REE-co) remembers that in addition to their performance, the time period before the band played sticks out in his mind: "I remember being at the Holiday Inn where we all were staying -- Jimi and the band, Janis and her band, and us -- and we had commandeered the whole third floor. And I remember the chaos going on, with alcohol flowing back and forth and what have you. And I remember arriving in a helicopter, and seeing this sea of people, and stepping off and feeling the thickness. It was undescribable."
Ten Years After singer-guitarist Alvin Lee recalled that Woodstock was just another one of the outdoor festivals the group did that year, and that it only stands out to people because of the movie: "I did the Texas Pop Festival and the Atlanta Peace Festival, which were equally good if not better festivals than Woodstock. But, without the movie and without it being declared a national disaster, y'know, it didn't quite catch the media's attention, like at Woodstock. That whole period of '69, all those festivals were great -- Woodstock's just the one that got remembered 'cause of a movie was made of it."
Jefferson Airplane guitarist Jorma Kaukonen (pronounced YOR-ma COW-co-nen) sees Woodstock differently than Alvin Lee. Kaukonen says that it really was a defining moment in history: "Woodstock was such a seminal event for all of us. I mean, obviously, it's not the same to me as somebody who had actually been there as a participant and sort of lived the experience, you know? But I just remember I think it was the first time that we -- y'know, that our generation -- had sort of a collective identity going on. It was, it was a powerful moment."
Michael Lang, recalled how the Woodstock organizers cajoled the Who into playing the festival: "John Morris did that, and the way that they did that was he and Frank Barsalona -- who was the Who's agent -- invited Pete to Frank's house for dinner, got him drunk, (laughs) and then wouldn't let him go until he agreed to play. I forget the show, they were doing something in the area the week before and wanted to go home. It was the end of the tour. And they weren't hippies, this vision was not their vision, but Frank was convinced that it was important to their career, and he and John managed to talk him into it."
Pete Townshend says that the finale to the Who's set wasn't as organic an experience as the rest of the Woodstock Festival seemed to be: "That was a bit contrived, 'cause actually it was me that looked at my watch and realized that if we kept 'Listening to you, I get the music' going long enough, the sun would come up. Y'know, I grew up in a showbiz family, and I know that stuff -- and I knew it would be a wonderful moment. And we had been waiting a long time to perform, but we did play 'Listening to you, I get the music' something like 40 times, round and round and round and round -- and finally it peeped up. So it wasn't exactly a poetic moment for me, but it was just another kind of moment of cynical English triumph."
Townshend has been able to look back on the experience with the clarity that hindsight provides, and he explains what he felt then, and what he's learned since: "What I felt was, 'I'm not American. I'm not part of this.' I had a rotten time. I wanted to go home. I didn't want to be there in the first place. Y'know, what history has told me is that this is my country as an artist."
He still regards the Who's 1969 Woodstock as a watershed event in the Who's live career: "It was about the most important single concert that we ever did. It was more important than Monterey, much more important than our first show in New York, much more important than anything that followed."
Michael Lang was asked at what moment he realized that he was helping to create cultural history: "I guess by Saturday, when everybody had arrived -- or anybody who was gonna get there arrived. We knew that this was a historic moment in any case. Whether it resonated or not, nobody thought of that, but we knew that this was extraordinary."

For the first time, police officers on Monday gave a public moment-by-moment account of accused Aurora shooter James Holmes' arrest, as part of a hearing that touched on whether Holmes is mentally fit to stand trial. Officer Jason Oviatt described Holmes as "very relaxed" after the shooting, noting that Holmes had extremely dilated pupils. Are dilated pupils a sign of mental illness?
Not a good one. Dilation of the pupils can reflect not just the lighting conditions in a room but the thoughts and feelings of a person, mentally ill or not. For example, dilated pupils can indicate sexual arousal. Psychologists sometimes study the expansion and contraction of the pupils to find an objective measure of the mind's inner processes, in something called pupillometry. This practice has been used to study everything from racial bias to sexual preference to what happens when the mind puzzles over a difficult math problem.
However, while pupillometry has been used to study aspects of mental illness, including schizophrenia, and while psychologists began observing pupil dilation among the mentally ill more than 100 years ago, pupil dilation on its own is not a good indicator of psychosis or other mental illness. Pupil dilation is regulated by the sympathetic nervous system, the part of the body that controls our fight-or-flight response. So even when psychosis causes changes in pupil dilation, such as by triggering an excited state of fear or anger, the dilation itself is identical to dilation in the non-mentally ill. Moreover, just as with sane people, the pupils return to normal once the state is over.
Dilation of the pupils can also be a side effect of using certain drugs. For example, LSD and mescaline both cause pupil dilation. Some people who suffer from mental illness may find themselves with dilated pupils caused by treatment with prescribed antipsychotic medications.

Read: The Good That Can Come of It and Who Shouldn't Be At The Players/Owners Meeting
At ESPN.com Craig Custance and Scott Burnside talked about whether it would be a good idea for the players to have a meeting without Donald Fehr and meet with the owners who would be without Gary Bettman.
Custance thinks that it will be refreshing, if all owners are allowed to attend, to have the players hear from the owners why they need this new system and how it will benefit the future health of the game.
Burnside writes that the chance to ask an owner, besides the regulars who attend the meetings, certain questions could lead to something on which to build on.
John Shannon, of Sportsnet, writes that the owners want to make their case to the players that things need to change or that the league may have to adapt and players would lose their jobs to contraction.
Pittsburgh writer Josh Yohe says, "Consensus from players: They don't care if Bettman is around or not. They do care if Jacobs and same old owners are present at next meeting."
Dave Stubbs spoke with Marty Brodeur and tweeted "I'm open to any idea. When Bettman or Jacobs aren't around, I think people act differently"
Ladd to WPG Free Press re:meetings: if it's Jeremy Jacobs in there spewing his stuff, I don't think it's going to move this process forward.—
THE STATS GUY (@TH2NSTATSGUY) November 30, 2012
7:45AM: In the NY Post, Mark Everson and Larry Brooks write that the players don't want this meeting to be a negotiation but instead a discussion where everyone can express their ideas.
The players are also not interested in having the four owners, Jeremy Jacobs, Craig Leipold, Ted Leonsis and Murray Edwards, present at the meeting.

Pours a hazy golden with a two-finger, white head that drops down at a moderate pace. Retains a solid cap throughout drinking and leaves fairly nice lacing behind.
Yeast forward aroma, with mostly cloves and some banana coming through. There is a touch of wheat and pale malt in the aroma as well, but these definitely takes a backseat to the yeast.
The wheat flavors are more upfront upon actually sipping, coming through first. The clove, ripe banana, and just a touch of citrus make themselves known in the middle, leading into some subtle hop character in the finish that adds just a touch of dryness.
Medium bodied, medium carbonation with a smooth feel.
While hefeweizens are far from my go-to style, I thought this one was quite tasty and refreshing. A good balance of flavors and a thirst quenching mouthfeel. Wouldn't mind trying this one again.

Not a style I look to find very often but after seeing the reviews I wanted to try it,Iam glad I did.Poured into a weizen glass a hazed golden with a shade of peach,a frothy large head atop settled very slowly into a creamy mass leaving mulitple sheets of lace behind.Aromas of banana and some toasty grain,the clove-spice is not overpowering wich is nice.Nice creamy mouthfeel its full but airy light if you can understand that.Flavors are fruity up front with some lemon pith to go along with the big banana notes,the clove and toasted cereal grain flavors finish up.A great hot weather brew well rounded and flavorful,likely the best of the style I have had I think.

Appearance - This is a rich and cloudy yellowish-orange in color with a modest head.
Smell - The big banana and sweetish yeast come pretty darn close to pulling off a traditional nose. There's a light orange tinge that seems to blend in with the flavors and provides a nice, fruity, summertime atmosphere to this beer.
Taste - The banana is subdued at the taste but still there and the orange flavors take one step forward. I'm usually not a big fan of orange in my HW but this isn't bad. It's not like an orange juice drink but more like an orange rind. The yeast does a great job of keeping up with the other flavors and really is the deciding factor in producing a tasty all around profile.
Mouthfeel - This just does make the grade with a light body helped along by tingly carbonation. There is a complete absence of bitterness to this HW, and I say that only because the SN Wheat Beer crapola that was such a disappointment had among other things a horrendously inappropriate leafy bitterness at the finish. So, kudos for learning from your mistakes.
Drinkability - I can count on one hand the number of successful American efforts at the style and include this one from SN in that group. Other than a few hard to find examples, if we're talking general availability, Brooklyn Brewing makes the only hefe weizen that compares favorable to this. If you've ever had Rio Salado's Hurricane Hefe that and this SN are strikingly similar. Overall a tremendous product from SN that really showcases the depth of the brewmasters there.

Probably the best American Hefe you can buy. I think it is quite tasty but I'm not a big fan of the sour like taste to it. I'm just a Hefe brat, I've had the best in the world, so I do perfer other hefes like Ayinger Bräu Weisse or Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. I would drink this but if I could choose other Hefe's first I'd choose them.

Pours a deep, dense yellow color in which you can't see through at all. Somewhat volatile beer when poured, but the thin, white head disappeared nearly seconds after the pour. Nose is full of wheat, yeast, bread, and clove with a tiny hint of banana and maybe even mint. Beer has a great wheat taste full of clove, biscuits, banana, and bubble gum. As the beer warmed up, some grassy notes ended up coming through along with esters and a sharp, tart flavor, but the fruitiness never died down and the clove remained the strongest flavor of them all. Quite a bit of carbonation, but it works well with this beer and gives it a crisp flavor that accompanies the flavor profile nicely. Medium-thin body with a bit of stickiness and a pretty dry finish.
Another great beer from Sierra Nevada. This one is up there with some of the best German hefeweizens. At the relatively low price and low ABV, this is one of my favorite session beers.

Sierra Nevada Kellerweis Hefeweizen, 4.8% alcohol poured into Weizen glass.
A- Pours a highly hazed golden colored fluid with a medium head that falls to a froth and ring around the glass. Decent lacing forms a distorted ring but sticks. In the light it looks as if the beer is sunny but has a heavy fog all around.
S- Smells of fresh cut bananas strait off the vine with hints of musty yeast and vanilla cream.
T-M- Taste is creamy with a banana milkshake coming to mind. Light all spice flavors hide behind the banana but are there with light clove. Easy to drink with a meduim carbonation and creamy feel makes this beer a winner in my book.
Great beer for session drinking.

Poured from a bottle to chilled glass.
Appearance - Pours into the glass nicely, swirled the last 1/3 of the bottled and poured it in. Has a thin white head about a finger. Settles to a very thin head. The color of the beer is beautiful. Has a foggy light gold tangerine color to it. Looks tasty and refreshing. Almost zero lacing.
Smell - I get hints of clove and wheat bread, and a little bit of banana. I noticed that the aromas got a little bit stronger half way through the glass.
Taste- This hef has a slight orange and lemon flavor up front which is finished by some clove and wheat. The beers flavor is layered quite nicely. Flavors linger on the palate for some time. Very crisp and clean. This beer really hits the money right when you swallow a gulp. The flavors really pop out as soon as it goes down the throat.
Mouthfeel - The carbonation tickles your tongue and the beer feels smooth in the mouth. It feels lighter than it looks.
Overall - First off, hefeweizens aren't my first choice when I drink a beer, but I don't mind them. I expected a lot from this beer after reading some of the other reviews, and I can say that it has lived up to the expectations. Quite an easy beer to drink and the flavors really shine. I have no problem going back to this one in the future.

4.03/5 rDev -0.5%
A: Poured into a nice Hef glass, it was a lovely hazy, yellow straw color. It's hard to stop this one from wanting to deliver a three finger head. Nice fine off-white cap. Lively carbonation makes the head return with every swig. Some suspended yeast visible.
S: Dry, yeasty, wheaty banana with a hint of spice.
T: A touch of hop-like bite that is probably more tartness from yeast and carbonation. There is a breadiness and wheaty flavor but it goes quickly into a balanced banana and clove with a hint of bubblegum. There is a touch of pear and lemon there too. The finish is very dry with residual fruity flavors.
M: Light side of medium body - probably due to the yeast. High carbonation that is gentle on the palate.
D: This is a very well balanced and enjoyable beer. I don't go out of my way to drink wheat beers but this one feels like a drink that I would enjoy after a hard day in the sun. Really tasty and refreshing. Sierra Nevada really knows how to brew a beer. Hats off.

Nice in the style hefeweizen from SN.
Pours straw colored and slightly cloudy with a nice head that dissipates slowly and leaves some lacing. Nicely carbonated.
Smell is at first banana with wheat and a light spice.
Taste is clove, light malt, wheat and maybe a little pepper.
Mouthfull is nice, light, almost thin with a faint bittering.
This is a very drinkable beer and perfect for a hot summer day!

Being a Hefeweizen fan, I bought a 6-pack the first time it appeared at my local liquor store.
Appearance: Rich and cloudy looking, with the orange/yellow color distinct to unfiltered Hefs. Pours with a slight, frothy head.
Smell: Subtle, slightly bready with some distinct yeast. Nothing overpowering.
Taste: Like the smell, is definitively bready. Banana is very up front, and there is a slight hops bitterness which gently balances out the banana and cloves sweetness.
Mouthfeel: Crisp yet vaguely creamy. Slight tang.
Overall: This is an excellent American Hefeweizen. Flavorful without being excessively sweet. The notes of banana are very pleasant. Incredibly drinkable.

A 6pack from Gary's in Portsmouth, NH. The beer was a hazy yellow color with a thick, white, meringue-like head. Little bit of lacing. The aroma was primarily banana, also some sweetness and spice. I tasted banana, clove, and a little bit of lemon. I had Kellerweis not too long after drinking Rogue's Mom Hefe, and felt it to be superior. Not usually a hefe drinker, but this was a pretty good beer.

LOS ANGELES — Last month, law enforcement officers and school administrators launched an effort to crack down on sexting in one Cincinnati-area high school. Hundreds of students are suspected of distributing nude photos of their classmates via cellphones and the Internet. Just 10 girls will face discipline — the ones whose images have circulated most widely.
Officials may think they're tracking the sexting problem to its root by punishing the girls who snapped and sent the photos in the first place. But they're really just reinforcing the lopsided sexual standards of the adolescent selfie market. In a typical American high school, there are just as many guys posing for penis pics as there are girls lifting their shirts. But once those photos hit the schoolwide distribution system, girls' photos travel further.
A new study, published in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, illuminates that dynamic. Researchers surveyed 1,000 black and Latino 10th graders in a southeast Texas school district about their sexting habits. Among black teens, 27 percent of girls and 23 percent of boys said they had snapped a nude photo of themselves and passed it along. Among Latino teens, 20 percent of boys and 17 percent of girls had done the same. So selfies in this school district are split pretty evenly along gender lines. And though this study focused on minority teens, researchers said their sexting numbers lined up with rates recorded among "white private high school students" as well as more diverse groups of minors.
It's in the distribution of these images that boys and girls' behavior begins to diverge. When an explicit photograph hits their phones, the teen boys in the study were almost twice as likely as the teen girls to have forwarded it beyond its intended audience. And boys were much more likely than girls to have received one of these errant sexts from an oversharing peer.
That nonconsensual distribution could be fueling the perception that teen girls are sexting more aggressively than boys. A 2009 Pew report on sexting among American teens didn't register a statistical divide in sexting behaviors among boys and girls, but it did record teen-agers' perceptions of a gender rift. "This is common only for girls with 'slut' reputations. They do it to attract attention," one boy told Pew. "Sexting's not common, but it does happen because girls want everyone to know they 'look good,' " said another.
And then there's the female perspective: "If a guy wants to hook up with you, he'll send a pictures of his private parts or a naked picture of him[self]. It happens about 10 times a month."
When girls sext, they're accused of publicizing their sexuality to attract attention; when boys do it, they're assumed to be courting a sex partner one on one. That double standard persists even though, according to the study, boys were almost twice as likely as girls to publicly post their own nude photos online.
All of this should make the high school rethink its approach to dealing with sexting at school. Punishing 10 girls for a schoolwide phenomenon only reinforces the idea that girls who sext should be publicly shamed, while boys who sext — and share — are empowered to keep their selfies safely in their pockets.
If the school really wants to mitigate the damaging consequences of sexting, it ought to crack down on nonconsensual forwarders, not self-exploratory photographers. Take the case of the sole boy who's been caught up in the school's sexting scandal: He stands accused of "masturbating on his family's cat and on a relative's toothbrush, videotaping that relative brushing his teeth and sending the images to friends." He now faces a felony for "disseminating sexually explicit material to minors," but the activity he filmed was not a sext — it was an assault.

I always think of him saying, in response to the question of how long of a paper I should write, "As long as it takes." I often say that to my current students because I believe that the message is much more important than the length. My thoughts are with Leo's colleagues and family.

Legendary jazz pianist Dave Brubeck has died at the age of 91, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Brubeck, who lived in Wilton, was born on Dec. 6, 1920. A concert celebrating Brubeck's would-be 92nd birthday was scheduled to take place in Waterbury tomorrow.
Brubeck is known for penning a number of jazz standards, including "The Duke." His band, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, is best known for their song "Take Five."
According to the Tribune, Brubeck died of heart failure Wednesday morning at Norwalk Hospital on his way to a regular appointment with his cardiologist.
Howard Reich, an arts critic for the Tribune, writes the following:
Throughout his career, Brubeck defied conventions long imposed on jazz musicians. The tricky meters he played in "Take Five" and other works transcended standard conceptions of swing rhythm. The extended choral/symphonic works he penned and performed around the world took him well outside the accepted boundaries of jazz. And the concerts he brought to colleges across the country in the 1950s shattered the then-long-held notion that jazz had no place in academia.
As a humanist, he was at the forefront of integration, playing black jazz clubs throughout the deep South in the '50s, a point of pride for him.
"For as long as I've been playing jazz, people have been trying to pigeonhole me," he once told the Tribune.

"Tired of Vampire Romance....but I still LOVED this"
Despite my exhaustion over Vampire Romance books (the market is saturated with them now) I still LOVED this one! Even though this is book 2 of the Night Huntress Series you don't have to read the first one to be hooked. (although the first book is good too)
I enjoyed the strong heroine in this installment and the narration was superb!
"Kresley Cole is an author that never disappoints"
Hands down one of the best paranormal romance series EVER! Most tend to get stale after too many books, but this one keeps getting better and better. This is number 14 in the Immortals After Dark series and it is as fresh as the first. I love how Ms. Cole weaves the timelines of her books together and revisits moments we have seen by other characters in previous books. It's just brilliant! I wish I could give this book (and the series) 10 stars!
"My new guility pleasure!"
This series just keeps getting better and better with every book. And the cliffhanger ending – WOW! I both love and hate Jennifer Armentrout for her incredible endings. This book was definitely more intense than the first two as emotions run high with the return of Dawson and the hunt for Beth. I don't want to give away any spoilers – so I'll just say this is another amazing story by a very talent author.
5 Stars!
"Thrilling Sci-Fi Love Story"
This was a thrilling conclusion to the 2-part Archetype series (my favorite of 2014). Much like the first book, this was chock-full of action, romance and endless plot twists. It had the perfect blend of everything I enjoy in a romance novel. Some people might be turned off by the sci-fi/dystopian aspect of this book, but at it's heart this is a love story. There are plenty of swoon-worthy moments and it's not filled with endless pages of meaningless sex scenes.
Khristine Hvam is one of my favorite narrators and she did an excellent job of capturing the heart and soul of Emma.
I LOVED this book and can't recommend it enough.
5 Stars!
From the start I was instantly drawn into this story. Told in duel points of view, it was such a mesmerizing listen. The narrators did an excellent job of bringing this well written and unique story to life. It made me feel transported to another place and time and I became utterly lost within the words.
These Broken Stars is a story of survival and love, set in a sci-fi world, with intriguing mysteries to solve, that will have you listening late into the night. There are so many twists and turns and "I didn't see that coming" moments. It will have you guessing almost to the very end.
This was such an unexpected gem of a book. 5 HUGE stars!!
"Another good story ruined by the narrator"
This narrator was like listening to a robot read a text book. There was no emotion whatsoever and no change from one character to the next. Definitely not a good choice for a romance/erotic story. This was a great conclusion to the series and I enjoyed the POV of Caleb but the narration just ruined it for me. If you enjoyed the first two books do yourself a favor and skip the audio - get the print version instead.
"I'll never get enough of Ethan Blackstone"
I loved this conclusion to the Blackstone Affair. Ethan is one of my all-time favorite book boyfriends. Even though this could have been an epilogue I am so glad the author decided to give us a fourth book instead. I love Ethan and Brynne and I enjoyed this final journey of love and healing. It was the perfect conclusion. I also love Shane East and Grace Grant as the narrators.
5 star listen!
"It made my head spin"
Overall I did enjoy this book and I did like the concept of a half-human half-vampire lead character. However, this book lacked some serious editing. The story was choppy and there were way too many plot twists and turns that just didn't make sense. It seemed as though the author threw everything but "the kitchen sink" into this story. It was a little over the top in my opinion. Thankfully this is a very entertaining book at the right price. For that reason I will most likely move on to the 2nd installment.
Ruin and Rising is a beautiful and emotional ending to a fantastic trilogy. I absolutely loved this book and I could not put it down. I lost a lot of sleep over this one and I must say it was well worth the sleepless nights. Much like the previous two books this was a rich story with well-developed characters and plenty of plot twists and turns.
The final installment ties up many loose ends and comes to an absolutely satisfying conclusion. Although many were disappointed by the ending (mainly the love story) I thought the author did a wonderful job of pulling off a love quadrangle. There was never a "clear choice" for Alina and I believe the story came to a logical and satisfying ending.
I cared so much for these characters, including the villain; he was so cruel, calculating and absolutely evil but I still found him completely mesmerizing. Kudos to Bardugo's brilliant writing!
I'm sad to let this story and these characters go, but I look forward to more from such a talented author.
5 HUGE stars!!
"So Beautiful"
I loved this entire series. Laini Taylor is such a talented writer. It's like artistry on paper or ear candy for audible listeners. Her characters are deep with extensive world building - you can't help but get sucked into this fantasy she has created. I crave more and can only hope this is NOT THE END of such a wonderful series. Thank the God Stars, but I really want more!!!
Definitely a 5 star listen!!!!
"Fabulous Final Installment"
I don't know what it is about this series but I was hooked from book 1. This is definitely one of my guilty pleasures. The final installment of "The Selection" may have been predictable but I so enjoyed the journey. Kiera Cass is a very talented author and I look forward to more of her books.
This was a credit-worthy, 5 star listen. Good story, great narration and that cover art is perfection!

The flow of blood pumped by the heart is controlled by one-way valves. These valves assure that blood moves in only one direction. Mitral regurgitation occurs when the heart's mitral valve leaks blood into the upper chamber from the lower chamber.
If the amount of blood that leaks is severe, mitral regurgitation can be a serious condition that requires care from your doctor. The sooner it is treated, the better the outcome. If you suspect that you have this condition, contact your doctor right away.
There are several causes for leaky heart valves. Birth defects can deform them. Infections can scar them. Heart attacks can damage them. The mechanics of an enlarged heart can stretch out the opening so that the valve is no longer large enough to work effectively.
- Mitral valve prolapse—abnormal closure of the valve with protrusion of a leaflet tip backward into the left atrium, causing it to leak. This may be congenital or acquired.
- Rheumatic fever —infectious disease can afflict the inside of the heart, leading to scarring of the heart's valves. Rheumatic fever used to be a common cause of mitral valve damage, but it is not common today in the United States.
- Heart attack —reduced blood supply to the heart can weaken the small muscles that hold the mitral valve in place, causing it to leak
- Congenital deformity—several different types of congenital heart defects distort the mitral valve
- Heart muscle disease—many types of disease can weaken the heart muscle, stretching out the mitral valve ring so that the valve no longer closes. Among these causes are alcohol, certain drugs, radiation , muscular dystrophies, malnutrition, cancer , and many inflammatory and metabolic disorders.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of developing mitral regurgitation include:
- A history of rheumatic fever or other serious infectious disease
- Inflammatory diseases such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis
- Storage diseases such as hemochromatosis and glycogen storage disease
- Heart disease
- Muscle disease
- Malnutrition
- Alcoholism
- Radiation exposure
- Exposure to certain drugs such as lithium, sulfonamides, cancer chemotherapy , and phenothiazines
The speed with which symptoms progress closely follow the cause of mitral disease. Acute diseases cause rapid decline, while more chronic diseases lead to slower onset of symptoms. The following symptoms may be caused by mitral regurgitation:
- Chronic, progressive fatigue
- Shortness of breath, especially with exertion
- Worsening shortness of breath when you lie down
- New associated palpitations or racing heart rate, which may suggest the development of an abnormal heart rhythm
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Leaking heart valves usually make sounds called murmurs that can be heard through a stethoscope. You will likely be referred to a cardiologist.
Images may need to be taken of your heart. This can be done using:
- Chest x-ray
- Electrocardiogram
- Cardiac ultrasound ( echocardiogram )
- Cardiac catheterization
Treatment options depend on the severity and history of the valve leakage and its effects on the heart's size and function. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
Treat Underlying Disease
Correcting the underlying problem may help the mitral valve function. The treatment depends on the symptoms. In chronic and slowly progressive mitral regurgitation, medications may help reverse effects on the heart's size. Ultimately, surgery will likely be needed. In acute and rapidly declining disease, the benefit of medications is limited to short term stabilization until emergency surgery occurs.
There are several open heart surgical procedures that can fix leaking valves. The type chosen will depend on the valve and the expert recommendation of the surgeon. The valve may be repaired, if it is an option, or it will be replaced.
To help reduce your chance of getting mitral regurgitation, take the following steps:
- Prevent heart disease by controlling weight and blood pressure, exercising, eating heart-healthy foods, and watching your cholesterol levels
- Avoid contact with streptococcal diseases including strep throat , tonsillitis, and scarlet fever
- Avoid IV drug use
- Limit alcohol intake

Spell check?

Spell check?
Alot of other site I am on have spell check when posting.Is there a way to have in on here? Sometimes I forget how to spell .
Those using Mozilla Firefox have it right in the browser

You will have to type it into Word and spell check it there, then copy and paste it into the reply window here.........it's a work around.

Dennis knows that we all talk funny and know what each other means even if we can't spell worth a lick. Just keep posting, we'll figure it out

Dennis is always looking at software improvements. Especially as support for existing versions starts to fade. Perhaps when the next upgrade becomes necessary spellcheck may be part of it. Hoo noes?
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Download IESpell, it automatically integrates with IE and Mozilla now I think. I use it occasionally when I am in doubt.. works well.. but only limitation is stuff like..

Spelling ain't all that important

Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
So do we really need spell check
What is that? I need ever word spelled correct for me to understand. lol just kidding. I am not saying it ha to be done. I found it nice on other sites when I get one of them brain farts and can't remember how to spell. lol
We all need all the help we can get with spelling and punctuation we can get or we would have/have had different professions. The most important thing is for all of us to do our best. We're not here for spelling lessons but it is easier to take someone seriously if they write as well as they can. Noone gets extra points for writing poorly.

Might have to ask Dennis to install some "Translation Software" as well

I think Dennis looked into it a while back, but the companies that provide the on line programs want quite a bit for their use, and since this is a non profit site, he decided not to use one.
