S. 901 and H.R. 1997, introduced by Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), are designed to ensure that our public lands are truly that: open to the public and available for reasonable and responsible public use, including hunting.
S. 901 and H.R. 1997 would amend the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1965 (LWCF) to ensure that funds are made available to make purchases or improvements to public lands to improve access to those lands.
The legislation would require that 1.5 percent or $10 million dollars, whichever is greater, from monies requested from the LWCF each year go to projects designed to improve access through the purchase of lands, securing rights-of-way, and expanding public access to existing federal public lands that are currently inaccessible or difficult to access for hunting, fishing and other recreational purposes. The funds for these projects would come from LWCF monies already available for conservation projects, with no additional expenditures of taxpayer funds required.
Currently, more than 35 million acres of land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service have inadequate access, according to a Government Accountability Office report to Congress in 2004. S. 901 and H.R. 1997 require that these projects open good access for hunting, fishing and other recreational activities on the public lands involved. Increasing access to these public lands will increase public usage and create significant economic activity in the local communities.
While S. 901 and H.R. 1997 would provide funds to make key land acquisitions, the total acreage would be small, depending instead on easements, rights-of-way, and the purchase of lands that would directly improve public access to existing federal lands. Access projects generally involve small acreages of existing federal land that cannot successfully compete for LWCF funds against large tracts of land that become available for purchase by the federal government.
Projects have already been identified that would improve public access to hundreds of thousands of acres of existing federal land. Each of these projects would greatly enhance the public's access to public lands.

This pretty pink columbine was still stunning through the raindrops that we had today. It actually added some additional beauty to the blossom. As much as the rain is a pain for outside activities, we still desperately need the rain. The creeks and waterfalls are very low and it is too early be this low.

Picture-Frame Card with Melissa Neufeld
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
Martha's friend Melissa Neufeld shared her technique for making this great picture-frame card that was inspired by a vintage Victorian celluloid frame. Our folded card is 8 by 12 inches and fits into a 6-by-8-inch envelope.
- Two 9-by-7 sheets of paper (contrasting designs)
- Transfer paper
- Transfer tape
- Picture frame card template
- Regular and scalloped scissors
- Wave cutter
- 12-by-8-inch piece of card stock
- Hole punch
- Brad
- 1/2-by-6 1/2-inch piece of 2-ply museum board
- Bone folder
- 6-by-8-inch envelope, optional
Step 1
Cut two 9-by-7 sheets of paper from two contrasting designs.
Step 2
Adhere transfer paper to back of one sheet using transfer tape. Attach the two papers, back to back.
Step 3
Trace picture frame card template on front of double-sided paper. Cut out using regular and scalloped scissors.
Step 4
Line up the four points of paper and use a wave cutter to cut an X.
Step 5
Attach frame to card: Fold a 12-by-8-inch piece of card stock in half to make a card (folded card will be 6 by 8 inches).
Step 6
Lay frame right side up on top of card. Where you cut an X in the middle of the paper, you will have 4 V shapes meeting in the middle. Pull the top of the V back to meet the top of the frame. Secure by punching a hole through frame and front of card.
Step 7
Secure with a brad inserted front to back. Repeat for remaining 3 points, pulling each to the outside edges of frame.
Step 8
Keep card closed and trim about 1/2 outside the scalloped part of the card to match the design. All the straight lines of the exterior part of the card will not be cut.
Step 9
Add the easel: Score a 1/2-by-6 1/2-inch piece of 2-ply museum board with a bone folder, 1 1/2 inches down from one shorter end. Tape easel to inside front cover of card so that card can be cut in half along the fold and the front used as a frame.
Step 10
To insert picture in the frame, remove one of the brads and slide in picture. Replace brad.

Step 8 is incomprehensible and step is even worse.
And when would the card be cut in half and why?Reply

I made these using fusible web as the adhesive. Worked great.Reply
JourneyAndLandscapeCom 11 Feb, 2009
I use actual OLD vintage valentines for similar projects. When the cards are vintage (but not extremely valuable), it's great to them into a new keepsake. I think this project has yet another layer of appeal if actual old paper is used. :)Reply
debhoss 8 Feb, 2009
It appears the card pictured has at least one layer added. Now that's a dirty trick. It also seems that they used NO straight edged scissors in the cutting.Reply

I would love to see a video of this. I am just starting and already confused. Help!!!Reply

If you do not mind a bit of a mess use Super 77 Spray adhesive for attaching 2 sheets of paper together. It is available at ALL hardware type stores (OSH, Home Depot, Lowes, ACE etc.) After spraying one sheet, press sheets together burnish slightly to get maximum adhesion.Reply

Step by step photos would help the project move faster. I'm confused on the first read but still might give it a try, timer permitting.Reply

Does anyone know if "transfer tape" is the same thing as "3M 568PMA position-able mounting adhesive?" I've been searching for days, and that's all I can find? I found it on 2 different framingsupplies.com sites. 16x50 roll for $37.66.Reply
Julitime 10 Apr, 2008
Adding to my comments, I also discovered by practicing that this project can be altered by cutting with a variety of specialty scissors and altering the design of the template, and even used a 3rd contrasting paper. I'm going to try this in miniature and even polymer clay! Anyone interested?Reply
Julitime 10 Apr, 2008
I too didn't understand the transfer paper/tape, thinking it to be a lamination process, and I also didn't understand the wave cutter. Is it like a pizza cutter with a scalloped/decorative edge?
With the need of 2 papers, I figured the transfer paper was for adherence and practiced using plain scrap papers and double-stick tape. Worked beautifully. I also used transparency film to protect the photo.Reply
KACarpenter 8 Apr, 2008
A Xyron adhesive machine will work very well for this type of project in place of transfer paper and tape. This segment was originally aired quite some time ago on the previous Martha Stewart Living television show and Xyron may not have been as widely available as it is now.Reply

Transfer Paper info ctd. What i attempted to finish with was. . . if U do lots of paper crafting AND Bookmaking, then the roll is worth it! Additionally, I've been looking for the 3M ATG 700 Adhesive Gun at a good price for awhile (Many of you will know what I mean - it's the HUGE double sided tape dispenser) . . . The $ on that is Gr8 too!! In fact, take a look at their whole site.Reply

what exactly is the '2-ply museum board' ? I didn't see that menioned in the show.
any ideas?
Terpoohbear 19 Jan, 2008
I just used Peel and Stick double sided adhesive I got at Joanns..also did find some double sided scrapbook paper and love it just not too many choices and I have had fun with the ones I have made also..I did not see the whole show so I do not know what the transfer tape is used for so I just used double sided tape to attach it to my card..worked fine.Reply
djelliott 19 Jan, 2008
I, too, think that the picture is not the same as the instructions. There is clearly a bottom frame (in white), a frame slightly larger than the 'template' frame, and a 2-sided template frame. It is this middle frame *scalloped around all edges) that the instructions do not mention.
PS Why use transfer paper--why not 2-sided scrapbook paper?? Just wondering.Reply

I wanted to add, that in searching for the 13"x180' roll of Transfer Tape made by 3M, I did find that 3M makes those 9"x12" double sided adhesive sheets that jessieanne21 found, thank you :). For those of you looking for these, the 3M rep said they make the same double sided adhesive in 50' long rolls and come in 11", 16"Reply
pressedfortime 18 Jan, 2008
I am also looking for the 3M 13" x 180' ROLL of TRANSFER TAPE. I called 3M and they gave me a product line # of 467MP from the industrial division, and said that it could only be purchased from their web site. Even with that info, I still could'nt find the EXACT ROLL shown on the show. HAS ANYONE FOUND WHERE TO BUY THIS?Reply
Terpoohbear 17 Jan, 2008
I think it was easy once I used the double sided adhesive. But I noticed that the template is different than the picture I am wondering if there is another template for the one pictured. Also I did not like the brads showing on the inside so I only used them on the frame and adhered the frame on 3 sides with double sided tape and it looks much better...Reply
jessieanne21 13 Jan, 2008
google "double sided adhesive sheets" www.createforless.com sells 3 9"x12" sheets for about $5.00 or you can check ebay but may have to buy a larger quantity or a whole role depending on how many cards you plan to make. Hope this helped. Good luck!Reply

Mining Program Area: Respirable Dust Assessment and Control
The ultimate goal of this research program is to eliminate coal workers' pneumoconiosis and silicosis from the mining industry. This can be achieved through the development and implementation of control technologies that effectively limit mine worker exposure to airborne respirable dust. In addition, the development of improved real-time or near real-time aerosol monitoring equipment can help reduce worker exposures to hazardous airborne particulate by allowing for more immediate corrective actions in response to overexposures.
Compliance dust sampling data captured by the Mine Safety and health Administration (MSHA) is routinely analyzed to identify the mining occupations that have the highest rates of overexposure to airborne respirable dust. Once identified, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) Office of Mine Safety and Health Research (OMSHR) conducts research to quantify the sources of dust exposures for these occupations and then works to identify or develop control technologies that reduce exposures. Also, OMSHR is conducting research to develop instrumentation for mine workers and/or MSHA to more quickly analyze samples for silica content to reduce silica dust exposures in coal and metal/nonmetal mining operations.
Inhalation of respirable coal or silica dust in mining operations can lead to coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) or silicosis, respectively. These are chronic, debilitating lung diseases that can be fatal in their most severe forms. Health surveillance studies of underground and surface mine workers show that these lung diseases continue to be a significant health threat in the mining industry. Within NIOSH's Division of Respiratory Disease Studies, the Coal Workers' X-ray Surveillance Program gives underground coal workers the opportunity to be examined periodically for the presence of CWP. Data from 2005–2009 x-rays show that 7% of examined mine workers with 25 or more years of mining experience were diagnosed with CWP, Category 1+. During 1998–2007, CWP caused or contributed to the deaths of 8,111 U.S. mine workers. During the same period, the Federal Black Lung Program paid over $8 billion in benefits to coal mine workers and/or surviving widows and dependents. During 2010 and 2011, NIOSH's Division of Respiratory Disease Studies completed a special program to examine surface mine workers for evidence of CWP. Results showed that 2% of examined surface mine workers were diagnosed with CWP.
Dust control research for the mining industry was initially conducted by researchers in the U.S. Bureau of Mines until this responsibility and expertise was transferred into NIOSH OMSHR. The Bureau research identified many dust control technologies that have been adopted by industry as the foundation of dust control efforts. OMSHR dust control research continues to build upon these dust control capabilities for mining operations. Longstanding cooperation with mining companies, equipment manufacturers, trade associations, labor organizations, and other government agencies has facilitated the development and implementation of control technologies. OMSHR also has unique, full-scale dust galleries that allow for extensive scientific testing of control technologies under controlled conditions, which would be impossible in actual mining operations. After identifying control technologies with promise and optimizing their performance through laboratory testing, these controls can be tested in active mining operations to demonstrate effectiveness in real-world operating conditions.
While reviewing MSHA dust sampling data, it became apparent that respirable dust overexposures are occurring for a number of occupations throughout the various mining commodities. Consequently, OMSHR in-house research projects are addressing dust control issues found in underground coal mining, coal and nonmetal surface mining, and mineral processing operations. In addition to using in-house expertise, OMSHR has ongoing contracts with mining equipment manufacturers and instrumentation companies to take advantage of their experience and capabilities.
The program has made several significant accomplishments and is continuing research to meet its goals; some milestones and highlights are listed below:
- Development of a prototype self-propelled, free-standing respirable dust scrubber for use on continuous miner sections. This unit is designed to remove respirable dust from ventilating air downwind of the continuous miner to reduce the exposure for workers positioned in the return air of the continuous miner. The scrubber is being developed under a contract with a mining equipment manufacturer and should be delivered to OMSHR in the spring of 2013.
- Development of a "Helmet CAM" technique for identifying sources of high dust exposures for mobile workers. The technique incorporates a video camera attached to the worker's hard hat in conjunction with a real-time dust sampler. OMSHR is developing software that allows for direct comparison of the video and dust files to identify high dust sources. This information can then be used to focus development on the most problematic dust sources.
- Quantifying dust levels generated in 20-foot deep cuts with and without flooded-bed scrubbers operating. This information will provide MSHA and mine operators with data that can help them select mining techniques that minimize the respirable dust exposure for workers on continuous mining faces.
- Conducting tests in the full-scale continuous miner gallery to optimize the dust and gas control obtained with flooded-bed scrubbers when a portion of the scrubber exhaust is redirected to the mining face. The goal is to improve airflow patterns at the face and prevent the accumulation of gas, while also improving the dust capture of the scrubber.
- Developing a spray manifold for installation on the tailgate end of a longwall shearer that will provide improved dust control for the tailgate shearer operator and jack setter. The goal is to optimize operating parameters in full-scale longwall gallery testing prior to evaluating the spray manifold on an operating longwall face.
- Using past research conducted on filtration/pressurization systems for enclosed cabs on mobile mining equipment to identify guidelines for installing similar systems on operator booths/compartments in processing operations. We will demonstrate the effectiveness of these systems through evaluations at field sites.
- Developing a portable, mine-worthy silica analysis instrument that can be used at the end of a sampling shift to analyze for the quartz content on filters taken from respirable dust samplers. If overexposures are detected, changes in dust control technologies and/or operating practices can be implemented on the next shift to prevent further overexposures.

Where would you cut?

With all this talk of cutting budgets in the air, I am wondering what options people have considered if their families were forced to cut expenses. What changes in your spending would you make if you had to cut your spending by thirty percent?
|Mon, 03-04-2013 - 10:27pm
That is because this question is not black and white Jam like some think it is.
It was and is a pretty black and white question, I don't know why the tap dancing is needed, although quite amusing. :)
|Tue, 03-05-2013 - 3:55am
I work two part time jobs by choice. If I were to lose one I would be able to get full time hours at the remaining job easily. The biggest issue for me would be if I got an injury that was going to take me more than a couple of months to heal from. My short term disability plan only pays out about 50% of my income. So that situation would definitely require a budget cut. There is no such thing as light duty at either of my workplaces.
My husband's job is a much bigger concern since his is one that could potentially be outsourced, and he is not in a field with a very high demand for workers like I am. Making matters more difficult, he is blind and cannot just work any old job, so it generally takes him longer to find work than it would take most people. In addition he carries health insurance for our whole fasmily through his employer. If he were to lose his job it would certainly be a big deal. I could fill in my schedule all the way and be working 60 hours a week easily, which would help a lot but I can physically only keep that up for a couple of months at a time. DH is working toward getting certified as a personal trainer by the end of this year, and will be keeping his day job as well, so that will help insulate us against job loss quite a bit.
So to answer the question: If I am the one not working then the weekly massage appointments would go. If he is the one not working they would stay because it would certainly be a requirement for me to function working that many hours a week. I might be able to do some trades with other massage therapists I know to lower the costs though. I'd probably stop buying clothes, makeup, nail polish, etc. I have more than enough to last me for a while. I would cut back to paying the minimums on my student loans and the couple of credit cards I have. I could cancel Netflix, expecially if my DD was at her dad's at the time. She is the only one who uses it and right now she's only here 25% of the year. I'd still try to put some money into savings, though probably not as much, if that were possible. I could cut a lot out of the grocery budget. This is one area where I currently don't really set limits at all. I could not renew our membership to the science museum, though this would be one of the last things to go, as it winds up being a really cheap source of quality entertainment at only 100$ a year. We would definitely eat out much less, and go to less expensive places when we did. DH and I would cut out any gifts for each other. I would do handmade gifts for others and/or give the free stuff I get from the salon I work at as gifts when they are needed. DH would need to stop buying pro-hormones, testosterone supplements, cutting drugs, etc. though he probably has enough at this time to last him a year. Once he becomes employed as a personal trainer he would realistically probably need to keep up much of that expense though. I could stop paying for my short term disability policy if I were not working, unless I am not working because I am disabled short term, and thus drawing on it.
What we couldn't cut: Child support. Obviously. Travel costs for DD to go between here and her dad's. I may have to sacrifice a couple of days of visitation to cut ticket costs by several hundred dollars each trip though. Rent cannot be realistically any lower than it is without us all moving into a studio apt. DH's cats and my aquarium would stay, along with all of their associated costs. We don't do much traveling besides taking the train or Greyhound to visit nearby family a couple of times a year, but that would have to get cut out or reduced. We cannot cut transportation costs any more unless I were the one not working. DH walks to work. I get a monthly pass for public transportation to and from work. If you ride more often than 4 days a week it is cheaper to just get an unlimited pass. We don't have a car or want one. Cell phones and internet are realistically a necessity for us. Cable would likely stay, but could be cut if it were dire. My annual license renewals and liability insurance would never be cut unless I were long term disabled and not able to ever work in those fields again. Health insurance is a must have for my DH no matter what. If anyone had to go without it, it would be me, but that would have to be dire straights as well. We're not big drinkers at all, but we'd stop buying any alcohol anyway.
I am probably forgetting something, but that's all I can think of right now.

Not really Bord. As I said I have cut everything down that I could and have savings as that is more important than having the extra cable stations, dvr, newspaper, etc. that I have cut out of my budget. :)
No, you've cut everything you're WILLING to cut. Not everything you COULD.
|Tue, 03-05-2013 - 9:59am
For us, that would be simple. We eat out a lot and I buy a lot of shoes :) Both could be cut without any real pain.
Nooooooooooooooooooo, not the shoes!

Ooh, I like this list. Good checklist/reminder.
- You have revolving balances on your credit cards. -- Nope.
- You rely on payday loans to cover your bills each month. -- Nope.
- You've been turned down for a consolidation loan. -- Nope
- You're hiding your spending behavior from family members.-- Nope.
- You finance your vehicle for more than five years.-- Nope.
- You get more than one late notice per year.-- Nope.
- You bounce more than one check per year. -- Nope
- You need a co-signer to get a loan.-- Nope
- You find yourself borrowing from your family and friends.-- Nope
- You lack an emergency savings account of at least three months' living expenses. -- We don't have quite that much. Some, but not a full three months' worth.
Whew! Safe! lol
|Tue, 03-05-2013 - 10:08am
That is because this question is not black and white Jam like some think it is.
The original question was VERY black and white. If you were forced to CUT EXPENSES by 30%, what would you cut? (paraphrasing)
Savings, severance, unemployement, etc is irrelevant. Becasuse the question isn't "how would you pay your bills", the questions is "what expenses would you cut if forced to."
It isn't that we (figuratively) don't like your answers. It's that you're not even answering the question.

"Yum, yum! I wanted a cookie that screamed 'fall' and this definitely fit the bill. My father-in-law, who doesn't eat many sweets, ate 2 while he was here and took 2 more for the road. Really a great recipe!"
"These were good, but a little on the sweet side for my family. Love the easy of making them!"
"I'm a huge Hannah Swensen fan, and I was so excited to make these cookies. Unfortunately, they were just OK for me. They spread way too much and I just hate that. The flavors were great, though. Probably won't try this again, but it was a fun experiment."
"I made these yesterday and I think I've found a new favorite cookie recipe! I made these because I needed a dairy free chip cookie. I used Baker's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks (which are dairy free/vegan), and made a cookie that is very chewy and thick, and yummy. I'll definitely be making these again!"
"Made a double batch of these and wooh are they yummy. I'm not a huge fan of cranberries, but these are the perfect combination of flavors. Definitely will be making these again!"
"These cookies spread a lot on me, and I never have problems with that. Still, they were good to eat, just didn't like the physical appearance."
"This is my all-time favorite cookie recipe, and the first I made when I got my new Kitchen Aid! I used 2 tablespoons of vanilla because I love the punch of vanilla, and I didn't have a Hershey bar on hand, so I dropped it, but it was wonderful. We had almost 10 dozen cookies out of this recipes!"
"Made this last night to satisfy a Mexican craving. I did one tray with the chili and one without. It was good, satisfying food. I didn't find it spicy at all. I did use chili beans instead of the pinto beans and didn't add the tomato sauce, using the sauce from the chili beans instead. My family ate it up!"
"We really loved these! I used honey mustard, and doubled the recipe. I barely had enough left for my husband to take in his lunch the next day. My only note to myself was to buy name brand crescent rolls. I used the Wal-mart brand and the dough kept falling apart (and not always at the perforations... sometimes in the middle of the dough). I think..."
"I made this to pour over meatballs. It was such a hit at my house... definitely a new favorite! I'm contemplating making it in bulk to have on hand all the time. I will definitely be making it more often. It is so yummy!"

I found her to be bossy, manipulative, petty, and self-centered. I couldn't stand working with her and determined that either she was going to leave or I would. She outlasted me and I ended up leaving within a few months.
Much to my dismay she showed up at my next job. She had a different name and a different body, but she was the same person. I put up with her for another nine months and quit again.
And there she was at my next job. She followed me from job to job for the next 20 years!
I was in my late 30s when I realized she hated me as much as I hated her. She found me arrogant, rude, condescending, and altogether a major pain in the ass.

The finish on the alu bracket scratches easily, one of the Allen head bolts was too tight for the 1/4 inch Allen wrench, so a 6mm Allen wrench had to be used, the drawing have some errors (says 7/16 bolt instead of 5/16), some of the included spacers are too large for the bolt they are supposed to fit. This is just a weird kit. And BUYER BEWARE: This kit is not intended for use on 289/302 with the water-pump inlet on the passenger side, and the kit is supposed to relocate the alternator higher (flipped 180 degrees)than normal. It might fit a waterpump with passenger side inlet, but expect to modify some of the bolts and spacers.

The true democratic principle, that none shall have power over the people, is taken to mean that none shall be able to restrain or elude its power. The true democratic principle, that the people shall not be made to do what it does not like, is taken to mean that it shall never be required to tolerate what it does not like. The true democratic principle, that every man's free will shall be as unfettered as possible, is taken to mean that the free will of the collective people shall be fettered in nothing. ~ Lord Acton, Freedom and Power
Sometime near the turn of the last century, our political vocabulary underwent a tremendous shift. The term "liberal," which before that had referred to those who wished to steadily reduce government control over people's lives, began to refer to thinkers advocating more and more expansive government interference in those lives. The Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter said at the time of the transition, "As a supreme, if unintended, compliment, the enemies of private enterprise have thought it wise to appropriate its label."
Later in the twentieth century, F.A. Hayek and Ludwig von Mises both attempted to make the term "liberal" again refer to those who love liberty. Their attempt has been mostly unsuccessful, as the media has refused to cooperate, and people believe that they already know what the term means.
But if we, the lovers of liberty, are not liberals, then what are we? It is, it would seem to me, a good idea to have a term for everyone who wishes to significantly roll back the scope of government. Yes, there are tremendous differences between paleo-conservatives, anarcho-libertarians, minarchists, flat taxers, constitutionalists, secessionists, economic conservatives, and so on. But the way I see it, we all want the bus to be heading in the same direction, and it ain't the one its going in right now. Once we turn around the bus, we'll have plenty of time to argue among ourselves about how far to drive it.
The terms put forward to replace liberal have so far proved inadequate. Libertarian is awkward, too much like "antidisestablishmentarian." It just hasn't caught on as a popular term. Just the other day, I told an intelligent friend of mine that I was a libertarian. "What's that?" was her immediate response.
Conservative carries along with it much inappropriate baggage, especially the idea of supporting whatever institutions currently exist simply because they exist. It brings to mind images of corporate fat cats and Pentagon generals meeting to safeguard the status quo.
Anarcho-capitalist, while a technically accurate name for an important segment of the libertarian movement, sounds to the "man in the street" like someone who wants to toss bombs at the authorities from inside their own factory.
Market liberal, the favorite of Cato's Ed Crane, also seems confusing to me. After all, everyone today, even the Communist Chinese, say that they're in favor of market mechanisms.
However, the other day I read an article by Murray Rothbard where he used a term that caught my eye: "true liberal." What I find most interesting about the term is that it almost forces whoever hears it to ask what it means. Simply by adding the adjective "true," the listener's facile assumptions about what it means to be liberal are called into question.
This term may not work either. But for what its worth, I forward it as a suggestion, along with my planned response when someone asks me what I mean by "true liberal":
- A true liberal believes that opportunity means the chance to determine our own fate, while false liberals think that opportunity means we shouldn't be allowed to fail.
- A true liberal believes that liberty means we can decide on our own what we wish to risk, while false liberals think it means that we shouldn't be allowed to do anything "too risky."
- A true liberal believes, along with Lord Acton, that "It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority." A false liberal believes that whatever the people vote for, however oppressive, is acceptable.
- A true liberal believes that peaceful cooperation is the basis of human society, and the use of force should be minimized. A false liberal believes that people need to be coerced, all the time, so that they act "socially."
- A true liberal knows that one cost of freedom is that things will occur that we hadn't foreseen and that we may not like. As long as the principles of civil society have not been violated, we know we must tolerate such events. A false liberal thinks that freedom is OK only until something happens that he doesn't like.
- A true liberal treats each person as an individual, valuable in his own right and responsible for his own fate. A false liberal views people as members of ethnic, racial and other groups, only important as a representative of his group.
Of course, this leaves us with a problem. Our audience may say to us, "If you are a true liberal, then what are the people who call themselves liberals today?"
But this can be handled as well. There is a name for the "third-way" between socialism and laissez-faire, for the economic system that nominally leaves property in private hands, but subjects it to the control of the state, that views people primarily as members of ethnic or racial groups. We can tell the inquirer, "Why, sir, they are the fascists, of course!"

Fifth Street Finance Corp. Releases Its Newsletter For March 2013
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., March 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fifth Street Finance Corp. (Nasdaq:FSC) released its March 2013 newsletter today.
Building the Platform
Investors seemed to shrug off the mandatory spending cuts included in the Budget Control Act of 2011 as equity markets flirted with record highs and credit markets held relatively steady. The stock market appears to be benefiting from a liquidity-driven rally as investors shift from lower risk to higher risk assets. Similar trends are evident in credit markets where broadly-syndicated loan and high yield issuance volumes remain strong with spreads tight. While the middle market is still partially insulated from these broader trends, new sponsor-led M&A activity has been seasonally soft overall. However, a pick-up in activity levels since our fiscal 1Q 2013 earnings call in early February gives us increased confidence that we should have strong originations for the current quarter.Our ability to find attractive deal flow is due in large part to our established reputation in the middle market, relationships with sponsors, larger balance sheet and structuring capabilities built on the growth in our platform to over 50 employees. Hunting Elephants Our underwriting expertise and larger balance sheet enable us to increase our hold size without taking on undue concentration risk. These key differentiators versus certain other lenders and BDCs enable us to generate premium risk-adjusted returns. We are one of a limited number of middle market lenders able to hold unitranche positions in excess of $100 million on our balance sheet, and are currently evaluating several of these opportunities. Originating larger deals should enable us to create incremental value for our shareholders by structuring large deals into a combination of First-Out First Lien and Last-Out First Lien securities. We are developing relationships with several banks to enable us to sell First-Out First Lien pieces of larger loans. By structuring such transactions, we are able to create securities with a return profile similar to second lien securities, but with the structural protections and rights similar to first lien securities. In our market, these type of hybrid transactions are referred to as "back levered" deals.

Semantically Secure Order-Revealing Encryption: Multi-Input Functional Encryption Without Obfuscation
By Dan Boneh, Kevin Lewi, Mariana Raykova, Amit Sahai, Mark Zhandry, and Joe Zimmerman
[PDF]  [ePrint]
Deciding "greater-than" relations among data items just given their encryptions is at the heart of search algorithms on encrypted
data, most notably, non-interactive binary search on encrypted data. Order-preserving encryption provides one solution, but provably
provides only limited security guarantees. Two-input functional encryption is another approach, but requires the full power of
obfuscation machinery and is currently not implementable.
Obfuscating Low-Rank Matrix Branching Programs
By Amit Sahai and Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
In this work, we seek to extend the capabilities of the "core obfuscator" from the work of Garg, Gentry, Halevi, Raykova, Sahai,
and Waters (FOCS 2013), and all subsequent works constructing general-purpose obfuscators. This core obfuscator builds upon
approximate multilinear maps, and applies to matrix branching programs. All previous works, however, limited the applicability of
such core obfuscators to matrix branching programs where each matrix was of full rank. As we illustrate by example, this
limitation is quite problematic, and intuitively limits the core obfuscator to obfuscating matrix branching programs that cannot
"forget." At a technical level, this limitation arises in previous work because all previous work relies on Kilian's statistical
simulation theorem, which is false when applied to matrices not of full rank.
Adaptively Secure Broadcast Encryption with Small System Parameters
By Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
We build the first public-key broadcast encryption system that simultaneously achieves adaptive security against arbitrary number of colluders, has small system parameters, and has a security proof based on non-interactive falsifiable assumptions. Our scheme is built from composite order multilinear maps and enjoys a ciphertext overhead, private key size, and public key size that are are all poly-logarithmic in the total number of users. Previous broadcast schemes with similar parameters are either proven secure in a weaker static model, or rely on powerful tools such as program obfuscation and involve non-falsifiable assumptions.
Fully Secure Functional Encryption without Obfuscation
By Sanjam Garg, Craig Gentry, Shai Halevi, and Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
Previously known functional encryption (FE) schemes for general circuits relied on indistinguishability obfuscation, which in
turn either relies on an exponential number of assumptions (basically, one per circuit), or a polynomial set of assumptions, but
with an exponential loss in the security reduction. Additionally these schemes are proved in an unrealistic selective security
model, where the adversary is forced to specify its target before seeing the public parameters. For these constructions, full
security can be obtained but at the cost of an exponential loss in the security reduction.
Multiparty Key Exchange, Efficient Traitor Tracing, and More from Indistinguishability Obfuscation
By Dan Boneh and Mark Zhandry
In CRYPTO 2014
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
In this work, we show how to use indistinguishability obfuscation (iO) to build multiparty key exchange,
efficient broadcast encryption, and efficient traitor tracing. Our schemes enjoy several interesting
properties that have not been achievable before:
Low Overhead Broadcast Encryption from Multilinear Maps
By Dan Boneh, Brent Waters, and Mark Zhandry
In CRYPTO 2014
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
We use multilinear maps to provide a solution to the long-standing problem of public-key broadcast encryption where all parameters in the system are small. In our constructions, ciphertext overhead, private key size, and public key size are all poly-logarithmic in the total number of users. The systems are fully collusion-resistant against any number of colluders. All our systems are based on an O(log N)-way multilinear map to support a broadcast system for N users. We present three constructions based on different types of multilinear maps and providing different security guarantees. Our systems naturally give identity-based broadcast systems with short parameters.
Fully Secure Attribute Based Encryption from Multilinear Maps
By Sanjam Garg, Craig Gentry, Shai Halevi, and Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
We construct the first fully secure attribute based encryption (ABE) scheme that can handle access control policies
expressible as polynomial-size circuits. Previous ABE schemes for general circuits were proved secure only in an unrealistic
selective security model, where the adversary is forced to specify its target before seeing the public parameters, and full
security could be obtained only by complexity leveraging, where the reduction succeeds only if correctly guesses the adversary's
target string x^*, incurring a 2^{|x^*|} loss factor in the tightness of the reduction.
How to Generate and use Universal Parameters
By Dennis Hofheinz, Tibor Jager, Dakshita Khurana, Amit Sahai, Brent Waters, and Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
We introduce the notion of universal parameters as a method for generating the trusted parameters for many schemes from just
a single trusted setup. In such a scheme a trusted setup process will produce universal parameters U. These parameters can then
be combined with the description, d(·) of any particular cryptographic setup algorithm to produce parameters pd that can be used
by the cryptographic system associated with d. We give a solution in the random oracle model based on indistinguishability
How to Avoid Obfuscation Using Witness PRFs
By Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
Recently, program obfuscation has proven to be an extremely powerful tool and has been used to construct a variety of cryptographic primitives with amazing properties. However, current candidate obfuscators are far from practical and rely on unnatural hardness assumptions about multilinear maps. In this work, we bring several applications of obfuscation closer to practice by showing that a weaker primitive called witness pseudorandom functions (witness PRFs) suffices. Applications include multiparty key exchange without trusted setup, polynomially-many hardcore bits for any one-way function, and more. We then show how to instantiate witness PRFs from multilinear maps. Our witness PRFs are simpler and more efficient than current obfuscation candidates, and involve very natural hardness assumptions about the underlying maps.
A Note on the Quantum Collision and Set Equality Problems
By Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [arXiv]
The results showing a quantum query complexity of Θ(N1/3) for the collision problem do not apply to
random functions. The issues are two-fold. First, the Ω(N1/3) lower bound only applies when the range
is no larger than the domain, which precludes many of the cryptographically interesting applications. Second, most of
the results in the literature only apply to r-to-1 functions, which are quite different from random functions.
Differing-Inputs Obfuscation and Applications
By Prabhanjan Ananth, Dan Boneh, Sanjam Garg, Amit Sahai, and Mark Zhandry
[PDF]  [ePrint]
In this paper, we study of the notion of differing-input obfuscation, introduced by Barak et al. (CRYPTO 2001,
JACM 2012). For any two circuits
Secure Signatures and Chosen Ciphertext Security in a Quantum Computing World
By Dan Boneh and Mark Zhandry
In CRYPTO 2013
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
We initiate the study of quantum-secure digital signatures and quantum chosen ciphertext
security. In the case of signatures, we enhance the standard chosen message query model by allowing the
adversary to issue quantum chosen message queries: given a superposition of messages, the adversary
receives a superposition of signatures on those messages. Similarly, for encryption, we allow the adversary
to issue quantum chosen ciphertext queries: given a superposition of ciphertexts, the adversary
receives a superposition of their decryptions. These adversaries model a natural post-quantum environment
where end-users sign messages and decrypt ciphertexts on a personal quantum computer.
Quantum-Secure Message Authentication Codes
By Dan Boneh and Mark Zhandry
In EuroCrypt 2013
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
We construct the first Message Authentication Codes (MACs) that are existentially unforgeable against a quantum chosen message attack. These chosen message attacks model a quantum adversary's ability to obtain the MAC on a superposition of messages of its choice. We begin by showing that a quantum secure PRF is sufficient for constructing a quantum secure MAC, a fact that is considerably harder to prove than its classical analogue. Next, we show that a variant of Carter-Wegman MACs can be proven to be quantum secure. Unlike the classical settings, we present an attack showing that a pair-wise independent hash family is insufficient to construct a quantum secure one-time MAC, but we prove that a four-wise independent family is sufficient for one-time security.
How to Construct Quantum Random Functions
By Mark Zhandry
In FOCS 2012
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
In the presence of a quantum adversary, there are two possible definitions of security for a
pseudorandom function. The first, which we call standard-security, allows the adversary to be
quantum, but requires queries to the function to be classical. The second, quantum-security, allows
the adversary to query the function on a quantum superposition of inputs, thereby giving the adversary
a superposition of the values of the function at many inputs at once. Existing proof techniques for
proving the security of pseudorandom functions fail when the adversary can make quantum queries. We
give the first quantum-security proofs for pseudorandom functions by showing that some classical
constructions of pseudorandom functions are quantum-secure. Namely, we show that the standard
constructions of pseudorandom functions from pseudorandom generators or pseudorandom synthesizers are
secure, even when the adversary can make quantum queries. We also show that a direct construction from
lattices is quantum-secure. To prove security, we develop new tools to prove the indistinguishability of
distributions under quantum queries.
Secure Identity-Based Encryption in the Quantum Random Oracle Model
By Mark Zhandry
In CRYPTO 2012
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
We give the first proof of security for an identity-based encryption scheme in the quantum random oracle model. This is the first proof of security for any scheme in this model that requires no additional assumptions. Our techniques are quite general and we use them to obtain security proofs for two random oracle hierarchical identity-based encryption schemes and a random oracle signature scheme, all of which have previously resisted quantum security proofs, even using additional assumptions. We also explain how to remove the extra assumptions from prior quantum random oracle model proofs. We accomplish these results by developing new tools for arguing that quantum algorithms cannot distinguish between two oracle distributions. Using a particular class of oracle distributions, so called semi-constant distributions, we argue that the aforementioned cryptosystems are secure against quantum adversaries.
Random Oracles in a Quantum World
By Dan Boneh, Özgür Dagdelen, Marc Fischlin, Anja Lehmann, Christian Schaffner, and Mark Zhandry
In AsiaCrypt 2011
[PDF]  [ePrint]  [slides]
The interest in post-quantum cryptography — classical systems that remain secure in the presence of
a quantum adversary — has generated elegant proposals for new cryptosystems. Some of these systems are
set in the random oracle model and are proven secure relative to adversaries that have classical access to
the random oracle. We argue that to prove post-quantum security one needs to prove security in the
quantum-accessible random oracle model where the adversary can query the random oracle with quantum

Ribbon Cutting/
Yesterday, we had our official Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting. Note the giant scissors, and a timid London, peering out to the crowd from behind the scenes. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank those who attended the ceremony, and share some of the words mentioned for those who were unable to attend.
Here's our little celebration speech: "Thank you for your support of Baan Dek! It's been quite an adventure so far, and we're just getting started. Sioux Falls is such a great community, and we feel humbled to be a part of it. We love what we do, and we hope that it's reflected in everything that you see. At the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, often considered the inception of modern education, a single inscription was posted on the entrance to the school, 'Know Thyself'. Well, for us, here at Baan Dek, our motto would read something like this: "You did it." Which simply means, absoluting nothing is impossible. Thank you to the Van Buskirk's for making this transition to a new space such a painless process, and a special thanks to our family, Darlene, Jennifer and Dave, for their tireless support and enthusiasm."

This lip balm has a very pleasant smell...exactly like you would expect coconut to smell like. However, the compliments stop there. If you're looking for a moisturizing treatment for your lips, don't waste your money on this product. It wears off extremely fast, and absolutely does nothing to improve the texture of your lips. In fact, I found it very drying and it made my lips crack and peel more often than before.
More reviews by Parodybarbiegirl
I have a TBS lip butter in wild cherry and I love it. This product doesn't dry out my lips at all. The scent is very strong. other people can smell it when I apply it and when I'm wearing it. But honestly they don't mind and i don't eather.
I'm not crazy about the fact that it comes in a pot (not hygienic but I think that because it is a lipbutter it cannot be put in a twist-up container.
The product leaves a nice creamy sheen to my lips which is nce because lipglosses and lipsticks are very drying on my lips. This is my everyday, nude, moisturizing lipgloss.
So the smell is absolutely delish, but the texture is horrible, and dries out your lips within an hour or so. Not a good lip balm if you want something moisturising. And it's quite expensive, got this for NZ$15
More reviews by xoxocandylicious
i went to the body shop to get this, thinking it must be soo good since its soo expensive. i used it and it dried my lips. and it wears off reli quick. i put it on, maybe like 10 mins later its gone. and it leaves this white film on my lips, (gross) i only like it because it smelled amazing. drugstore brands like blistex, and softlips works sooo much better than this.
I'm a little surprised by the bad reviews! I am always lured into The Body Shop by the awesome smell, and I am already a fan of their body butters and body scrubs, so I figured I'd give the lip butter a shot. I bought it in Guarana (to be honest, I thought I'd grabbed "cherry," and found out otherwise when I got home with it, but that's okay!), and it smells wonderful. I've had nasty chapped lips for the past few days but they are already looking and feeling better since I've gotten this lip butter. The consistency is nice and creamy, and feels like a cross between balm and gloss when it melts into your lips. Will buy again in several more flavors.
This is the worst product I've ever used on my lips. 'Butter' suggests that it is going to be at least a little bit moisturising. But this made my lips very chapped. Much more than they were in the first place. So once I used something else on my lips that made them better (Lucas's Papaw treatment), I used the lip butter again. But I could feel my lips start to dry out again after only a couple of minutes. The only reason I gave this product one lippy is because of the yummy smell (I got wild cherry).
I use shea butter (other brands) on my lips all the time, and I love the Body Shop's body butters, so I thought I'd love their lip butter. Not so! It stings my lips whenever I use it, making me wonder if I'm allergic to one of the ingredients? It also seems to dry out my lips, rather than moisturize. I will definitely not be buying this again! Plus, it left a gross white film on my lips, making me look sick. (but it does smell pretty nice)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought 'Yes, Yes, Yes" which is not a permanent collection. The proceeds go to support HIV/AIDS awareness. I found this through watching a Youtube guru and I love it. I do agree that it's not that moisurizing but more of a gloss. I tried to wear instead of my balm which I wear to keep my lips moist at night but I woke up with dry lips. The fragrance is so yummy and it also tones down the color of your lips and lipsticks. I wish this was a permanent lip butter because I do love it as a gloss, not a lip treatment. Lastly, the scent is dragon fruit and would repurchase.
I don't really like this lip balm. My lips are well moisurised usually but this just sits on the little lines and leaves a creamy residue. Also, once it has melted (it does this quite easily) it solidifies in a lumpy mix.
More reviews by DidgeridooYourNails
Would never buy this again. The only good thing about this is that it kind of smells nice. BUT then it tastes bad, wears off in no time, does not hydrate your lips or make them soft and are too opaque. So you must use a lipstick over it. The packaging is too small so if you have a little longer nails you get a bunch of gunk under them. Stay clear of this.

So, the deal with having a boyfriend is that since I'm so seldom attracted to any one, I have difficulty in this department. I wouldn't consider myself to be 'picky' in the least bit. Though I'm not at the point of desperation, and could never settle for just any ole' random dude.
Tell me, is this too much to ask for in a boyfriend?
- Understanding
- has chemistry
- bathes
Didn't think so!
But before getting a boyfriend, getting a life sounds like a good idea.

Vikram Pandit Will Continue to Make $1 Per Year
The Citigroup CEO continues his reign of austerity.

Skip to content, or skip to search.
The Citigroup CEO continues his reign of austerity.
The FDIC chairwoman thinks the A+ grade the Citigroup CEO got for his performance sounds a little too good to be true.
And that's the least of what she's willing to do.
Are the management changes at Citi about "positioning the company for the future," or saving Vikram Pandit's job?
It's meant in a nice way, though!
And our claws come out.
There's a lot of fake money floating around again.
So it can bail out the banks who are also receiving Treasury funds.
The anonymous quotes about the FDIC chair are working our nerves.
He doesn't think the FDIC chairman is a 'team player,' according to reports.

Rus in Urbe: The Country in the Town, from the City Parks Movement to Urban Ecology
- Availability
Spring 2011
- Location
5th Floor Classroom
- Instructor
The primary focus of this course is the ways in which city dwellers have created and conceived of the natural landscape from the second half of the nineteenth century to the twentieth century. Through looking at successive transformations of green space in the city, this course offers students a glimpse at the many perspectives on the traditional opposition and combination of nature and civilization, particularly in the twentieth century. Rather than studying landscaped city spaces apart from their context as is common in many textual histories, this course considers the urban setting as essential to their development and making. The issues raised in this course include community landscapes, public spaces, responses to urbanization, and the pastoral ideal. 3 credits.

Over the last couple seasons, 24 has acquired a reputation for getting a little soft and flabby in its midsection. But the long-running series never fails to deliver a taut, action-packed opener and closer, and the Season 8 premiere proves no exception.We hit the ground running with an assassination attempt, a dead body in a bathtub and a bloody shootout. Who the players are, and what all that violence means, we'll find out soon enough.As the day begins for Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland), our favorite former CTU agent seems the happiest he's been in years: His damaged relationship with daughter Kim (Elisha Cuthbert) is finally healing, as are his wounds from that nasty Season 7 virus. And he's even taking his little granddaughter, Teri, on trips to the zoo.The cherry on top: Jack has decided to accept Kim's offer to move back with her family to Los Angeles. Once there, he plans to take it easy, spending time with Teri, doing consulting work for a security firm and not even trying to save the world at all.But we all know this tranquility can't last for long. While longtime fans understandably want to see Jack happy at last (this one included), it would make for a pretty dull 24 hours if it was all hugs and smiles and trips to the zoo. So, onto the gunfights and explosions...Trouble comes knocking on Jack's door in the form of Victor Aruz (Benito Martinez), a former contact from the good old Salazar days. Seems Aruz — the guy who had that sniper rifle trained on him in the opening scene — wants to cut a deal because the people trying to kill Kamistan President Omar Hassan (Bollywood star Anil Kapoor) now want to kill him too.Seems President Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) is wrapping up negotiations with Hassan on an agreement to withdraw troops from his (fictional) country. Apparently Iran — ahem, Kamistan, has nuclear ambitions, but the question is whether their centrifuges are aimed at producing nuclear power or nuclear weapons.Once the deal is informally made, we get a quick (and somewhat clunkily delivered) synopsis of what's been going on in Taylor's personal life. Long story short, things got pretty tense pretty publicly during her divorce from the first gentleman, Henry Taylor — mostly because she had their daughter, Olivia, sent to prison for that pesky little murder she ordered. The nerve!In CTU's spanking-new New York headquarters, we meet Agent Cole Ortiz (Freddie Prinze Jr.), as well as Dana Walsh (Katee Sackhoff), who has a run-in with a typically un-gregarious Chloe O'Brian (Mary Lynn Rajskub). Seems Chloe has fallen a little out-of-touch with technological advances during the time away raising her child, and she doesn't really like asking for help.Also new to the scene is CTU Director Brian Hastings (Mykelti Williamson), who makes a deal with Jack: He'll bring Aruz in for questioning if Jack can get him to the helicopter pick-up site. Of course, it couldn't be that simple: The wounded Aruz collapses, a good citizen calls 911, and all hell breaks loose.The police show up, followed by Aruz's would-be assassins, toting automatic weapons and some very bad attitudes. After taking refuge in a deserted building, Jack makes his first kill of the season, and it's a doozey. One guy gets a fire-ax to the chest, while the other takes a long fall, hitting every floor on the way down.Just when it seems Jack will make the delivery, some dude with a missile launcher goes and blows up the chopper, and with it, Aruz. Jack does manage to get a crucial piece of intel out of him, though: The assassins have a man in Hassan's inner circle. Or possibly a woman on the inside — Meredith Reed (Jennifer Westfeldt), a young blond reporter who's caught the eye of Kamistan's President amid his marital strife. Looks like this indiscretion could cost Hassan his life...unless Jack has something to say about it.Stray Observations: • I enjoyed the uncommonly cute scene in the early going: Jack reminds Teri that she's supposed to call him "grandpa." "You don't look like a grandpa," she observes, to which Jack, with an uncharacteristic chuckle, replies, "Couldn't agree with you more."• Surprise, Chloe doesn't take criticism from her superiors well. After Hastings points out that she seems "ambivalent" toward her new job — seeing as she only came back because her husband was downsized — Chloe snaps, "If you really wanted to be more efficient, why didn't you just say, if I don't catch up soon, I'm gonna be fired?" • I was skeptical of how Freddie Prinze Jr. would fit into the 24 crew, mostly because he's never starred in anything that I thought was, you know, good. But so far, I'm buying his stoic Agent Ortiz — we'll just see if he can stay tough once things really heat up. • 24 requires plenty of suspension of disbelief, but the way Jack got pulled back into service this time did seem particularly thin to me. An old informant just happens to show up at his door an hour before he leaves for Los Angeles to start a new life? Oh well, Jack's back, and ultimately, that's all that matters.
5:00 P.M.-6:00 P.M.As hour two kicks off, we're already in the thick of it, and Jack is easing back into in the saving-the-world game again. "Just when I thought I was out...they pull me back in." The story of Jack's life.Thanks to the intel Jack extracted from Aruz's dying breath — not to mention some relatively quick work from Chloe — CTU determines that the inside assassin is intrepid reporter and would-be presidential girlfriend Meredith Reed. So agents swoop in, grab Reed and haul her into CTU. Threat eliminated, right? Not so fast!
Chloe smells a rat, and of course, no one will listen but her old friend Jack. He's more reluctant than ever to get involved, though, with Kim and family on their way to whisk him off to the airport, and a new life together.
I was a little surprised that Jack refuses to stay and help Chloe despite her heartfelt pleading: "You've come to me for help many times, and I've never let you down. You've asked me to do crazy things, and I've always taken your side." But I'm even more surprised it's Kim who ultimately convinces him to stay.Say what you will about Jack's daughter — I've never had a problem with her character, though a lot of fans have — but it's impressive the way she's grown from the petulant, selfish teen of Day 1 into a mature wife and mother willing to put the greater good, at least temporarily, above the dream of a picture-perfect Bauer family.Once resolved to see this through, Jack jumps in feet first, procuring some weapons from the CTU armory and going rogue — with Chloe running ops, of course — to hunt down the real assassins.While this hour proved decidedly lighter on action than the last — Jack didn't even kill a single terrorist! — it's a testament to the strong cast and, thus far, solid writing that the human drama was just as compelling as any gunplay.Stray Observations: • Romance at CTU never goes well — see Kim and Chase, Day 3 — but that's exactly what Walsh and Ortiz are up to. Seems Walsh has a cell-phone stalker, though, who knows something about a wild past that could somehow ruin her career. So I'm thinking rocky times lie ahead for these two lovebirds. • The new White House Chief of Staff, Rob Weiss (Chris Diamantopoulos), seems like a bit of a tool. I'm not inclined to like Hastings too much, but the way Weiss ripped into him near the top of the hour seemed a little out of line. It's not like he's the one threatening to kill Hassan. • Of course, minutes after I felt kind of bad for the guy, Hastings goes and pressures Ortiz to lie in his report about requesting additional support for the botched Aruz operation. So maybe Hastings does deserve a little dressing-down. • Loved Jack's blunt observation, while looking gravely around CTU after his run-in with Hastings: "I hate this place." Based on the previews for hours three and four, it looks like we can look forward to the return of Renee Walker (Annie Wersching) — and screamy Jack!

They've done this before. The reason they may not have done this time, I suspect is that it appears increasingly evident that this bombing really wasn't one of theirs for once. They simply were not ready and despite their assertions they just cannot respond effectively when it is for real.

Schulman offers to acquire Ferro for $855 million
10:24 AM MDT | March 11, 2013 | Rebecca Coons
A. Schulman has announced a hostile bid to acquire struggling Ferro for $6.50/share. The offer price represents a 25% premium to Ferro's closing price on 1 March—the last trading day before Schulman's announcement—and a 32% premium over the average trading price over the preceding 60-day period. Schulman made the offer public less than three weeks after Ferro's board privately rejected Schulman's approach. Ferro maintains that its own restructuring efforts will create more value for company shareholders. The offer includes cash...

Let this be a reminder to myself to work hard, get some criticism, pump out some works & face all the demons! ALL THE DEMONS.

Get Real
From Wikiquote
Get Real is a 1998 film by Simon Shore based on Patrick Wilde's play What's Wrong With Angry?
Steven Carter[edit]
- I'm sick of feelin' totally alone. I want to have friends who like me for who I am. I want to have a family who loves me for who I am and not for someone I pretend to be to keep their love! I'm sick of hiding... of being sad and... scared.
- It's only love. Why's everyone so scared of?
- Jessica: I was right about one thing: you're different from other blokes.
- Kevin: Am I right with it, Carter? You really are a queer!
- Steven's Mother: He's my son and I'm very proud of him. And if you do something to hurt him, I'll have your bollocks for earrings.
- Mark: So you're in the school magazine this year.
- Wendy: Well, I am the school magazine. No one else can be fucked.
- Mark: I can be fu— I'd like to help.
- Mark: We want the magazine to be more radical, right? And what could be more radical than a gay story?
- Jessica: It is not a gay story. It's a pervert story.
- Kevin: What's the difference?
- Wendy: You're not gay, you're a pervert.
- Steven's Father: But all that stuff of this town having nothing for someone of your age — I thought you really catched how a young person sees life.
- Steven: Life? What d'you know about my life?
- Steven: John Dixon and me... We're lovers.
- Linda: In your dreams.
- John: I like her. I really like her.
- Steven: Do you... do you love her?
- John: Steven... I love you.
