Further Details on Graduation:
A degree is conferred when the student has completed all academic, financial, and graduation requirements for the course of study as outlined in the University Handbook and with approval of the Board of Trustees. All students must complete program coursework with a minimum GPA of 3.0. DSc and PhD degree students must additionally pass a qualifying exam, complete practicum hours (as applicable), and satisfy all the steps in the dissertation process (committee formation, proposal development and defense, IRB approval) leading to the final defense and subsequent submission and acceptance of the bound dissertation. DNP students must additionally complete and successfully defend the capstone project (which will also require intermediate steps such as proposal defense, capstone advisor approval, and submission of the bound copy of the capstone project).
Students must apply for graduation by completing the graduation application. A graduation fee of $150 for all degree programs is due before the application can be processed. After the application is submitted, the Registrar conducts an audit of academic records and the University Finance Office audits the financial records. Students who clear the academic audit and desire their diplomas/transcripts released upon degree conferral must be cleared by the financial audit.
Recommendations for degree conferral require sequential approval of the Program Director or Co-Directors, the Provost, and the President, who recommends conferral to the Board of Trustees (BoT). The Chair of the BoT confers all degrees awarded by RMUoHP. Following BoT approval, the degree is officially conferred, and the graduate can begin using the credentials once notified by the Registrar. The following will occur once the Registrar is notified of the BoT action: 1) the Registrar will notify the student of approval via email or other written format, 2) the diploma will be ordered, and 3) the diploma will be mailed to the student with a copy of the final official transcript. Those students who have completed all academic requirements and have had their degree conferred, but who also have outstanding financial obligations to the University, will not receive official transcripts and diplomas until cleared by the University Finance Office.
The registration deadline for the 2015 August Commencement Ceremony is May 31, 2015.

Okay, you should know before reading my rant about this that I am not super educated in the fields of catholism or the branch Celestine in it (so I might be really slow on this reaction) but I know what I know so to say. And you should prolly also know that I am not very fond of catholism simply because they seem to have something agianst women being popes and have lot of conservative ideas that I don't think very high of. And that I'm agnostic, there. Now my rant can begin. Celestine Soraka is something I first believed to be a reference to something 'celestial'. But since her name isn't Celestial Soraka but Celestine Soraka I couldn't help to notice that it didn't make any sense. So I did a quick google and found this on wiki; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestine[1] Things wiki thought Celestine could refer to. And since I don't think this has anything to do with a mineral or a singer and the fact that people have humorly been calling this 'Pope Soraka', the only thing that made any sense that this skin was a reference to was this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestines[2] A branch of the Benedictine Order of monks. Basically, as far as I can understand, this skin is a reference to a certain branch of roman catholic munks/popes. I don't know about what everyone else thinks but does our worlds religons really fit into this game? For me, I'd keep everything like that out of the game since to me, LoL world isn't like ours, they have their own politics and religons. And why make Soraka a pope when she's a healer? Popes to me are just spiritual healers and I don't see how she is connected to catholism at all. And I find it ironic that she's a female pope when they obviously have never had a female pope (wonder why). Or is Soraka just a nun in this? I don't know, maybe there's been other skins that have had a strong reference to our worlds religons as well but I have not heard of them since I play a rather small group of champs. I'm sorry if there's any typos and stuff, my english is rusty. But I hope it's understandable. Please someone, enlighten me to why Riot made this skin with such a reference, I really wanna know why. So please don't just downvote and not say anything about it, tell me instead so I can understand. I'm looking for answers here. This is not so much feedback as it is questions but it seemed to fit here. In GD everything gets lost anyway unless you have red post on it so.
Look up the word in a dictionary, you derpistani.
That would be hard to do Hearshot since, unless you use a German dictionary, you won't find anything... Celestine is German for celestial. There were also 5 popes by the name Celestine (I, II, III, IV, V). Celestial means "of or relating to the sky or the heavens." So yes...I think you could safely say that this Soraka skin is pope themed...lol
@Hearshot I did in fact look it up in a dictionary (english one) and the only thing I found there was a mineral. So, yeah. Read before you comment please. @Peligrad Not only 5 popes but Celestine is a whole branch of roman catholic munks.
Oh shut up, if Soraka's new skin was based on the catholic church, she'd be working in some seminary in europe because she's a girl and girls are icky. In fact, she'd likely be going after the altar boys and..... no wait.... the catholic priesthood is all about homosexuality.... She'd be going after Annie and promising her new toys and things if she'd just be silent about the sleepovers and extra attention given at sunday school.
this is what happens when u bring a discussion of religion to a forum just don't do it... religion is one of those touchy subjects that should never reach the internet im atheist but i honestly dont give 2 fks and i think it should be left that way given the fact that Trazier has already shown how mature the online community can be
There's no catholicism on valorian. That would be offensive like the very suggestion of having a champ that is to be perceived as "black". Therefore this cannot be a reference and xinxiao looks just as white as everyone else
does this mean she's going to quit being in League now? apparently someone doesn't get the joke
the popes were named after the concept of a celestial nature , and in sorakas lore she has a spiritual connection with the heavens so. I think what Riot was going for was just a priestess like soraka not trying to make reference to a particular denomination. The Catholic Church is the most well known organization that employs priest so I can understand where the connection was made
So this is what I just read. "My name is raiinboom and I am a heathen who hates Catholics, and I don't want Soraka who has gone the longest without a new skin among all the champions in the game to have a new skin since it might be Catholic inspired plz don't downvote me btw since my feelings are fragile unlike the feelings of Catholics who I don't care about." Your lame argument about keeping religion out of the game completely ignores the fact that there are two full blown Angels in the game. Being an Atheist and hating all the 1.16 billion Catholics in the world based on some half baked whims that's intolerant in the extreme, but denying Soraka her first new skin in three years that's inhuman.

The April issue of the ARS magazine is now being delivered. In this magazine the announcement is made that the 2004 Official List of Exhibition Names is now available. Since it has been two years since the last one, there are a number of new roses listed, plus the "found" roses have been dropped per the new judging guidelines. Don't delay in getting your copy so you are ready for the upcoming show season. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Phil, I'm wondering if the China 'Irene Watts' finally got included in the OLOAEN? I noticed that it is still not in the 2004 ARS Handbook, even though many of the SoCal exhibitors grow and show it. Last I heard, ARS says that 'Irene Watts' is white (CRL notes apricot in brackets), but this rose is definitely light pink. What can be done to get this rose listed (and correctly)? |
- Posted by deborah2003 z8 SE VA (My Page) on Tue, Apr 20, 04 at 18:48
Phil - I am not finding this item on the ARS website to order. How do I obtain a copy? |
- Posted by Phil_Schorr z6St.Louis (My Page) on Tue, Apr 20, 04 at 23:47
Kitty, there has been a thread on the Antique Rose forum about Irene Watts. It appears the rose sold in the U.S. as Irene Watts is really Pink Gruss an Aachen. You probably noted the CRL says as much. We are working on the issue and I hope to come up with something helpful in the next couple of months. In the meantime, the real Irene Watts is in the 2004 Official List. To order the new 2004 Official List call 1-800-637-6534, ext. 3015 and talk with Sue Bogues. |
- Posted by Phil_Schorr z6St.Louis (My Page) on Thu, Apr 29, 04 at 11:21
The 2004 Official List is now available online at the ARS website. Click on Shop Online and then Publications. If you plan to exhibit, you really need this book. |
- Posted by deborah2003 z8 SE VA (My Page) on Mon, May 10, 04 at 22:29
Today I receivd my ARS 2004 Offical List of Approved Exhibition Names for Exhibitors and Judges. I noticed many roses I grow are not included but are listed in the CRL 2004 with an AEN designation. A few examples of this are: Antique Brass - (JACfehon) HT ab Zary 1999 AEN So does that mean I can or cannot show these roses? Thanks for your help. |
deborah, the sources for verifying AENs are Modern Rosees XI, the Handbook for Selecting Roses, the Official List of AENs, registrations pages from American Rose magazine and the ARS website, and the CRL. I've shown Attache, it wasn't DQ'ed. If you're going to exhibit, I recommend that you get a copy of the new "Guidelines for Judging Roses", even if you're not interested in becoming a judge. |
- Posted by Peter_Rabbit z9 So. Calif. (My Page) on Wed, May 12, 04 at 18:44
I'd like to see a picture of the real 'Irene Watts'. For many years now, all the exhibitors I know here in So. Cal. exhibit the same version of 'Irene Watts', the one that could possibly be 'Pink Gruss an Aachen'. I'd like to know more information about this issue since "Irene Watts" wins a lot at shows here. It won the Victorian Award at the recent San Diego National Show. |
- Posted by Phil_Schorr z6St.Louis (My Page) on Thu, May 13, 04 at 0:17
I understand something is going to be published on this soon. There should be something in the ARS magazine before the summer is out. Steve Jones has some very old drawings of the real Irene Watts with differences from Pink Gruss an Aachen. Marily Young is in Europe now and will be taking photos of plants labeled as both while she is there in an attempt to see if both still exist. It is a messy situation. |
- Posted by Ron_Gregory z10 So.Ca. Inld (My Page) on Fri, May 14, 04 at 12:46
While she is there she should also take pictures of what the real Nicole and Hannah Gordon look like. |
- Posted by Phil_Schorr z6St.Louis (My Page) on Fri, May 14, 04 at 16:55
Good thought, if Kordes still knows. |
- Posted by Tenor_peggy WI 4/5 (My Page) on Sat, May 29, 04 at 14:47
I'm eager to see these upcoming pictures and drawings of Irene Watts and Pink Gruss. I purchased a rose calling itself Irene Watts several years ago from Heirloom Roses in Oregon. I entered it in a rose show not long after and I remember the judges discussing the possiblity of DQing it. They didn't DQ in the end but I can't remember if it won Victorian or not. I don't want to exhibit it again until it is correctly identified. |
- Posted by Phil_Schorr z6St.Louis (My Page) on Sat, May 29, 04 at 23:28
John Clements of Heirloom has already publicly stated that the rose he has been selling as Irene Watts is actually Pink Gruss an Aachen (through no fault of his). If you bought it there, you got Pink Gruss. |
- Posted by Tenor_peggy WI 4/5 (My Page) on Sun, May 30, 04 at 11:31
Thanks Phil, I forgot about reading about that on another GardenWeb forum. It will be interesting to see what the real Irene Watts looks like if it is found by Marily in Europe. |

The Company recently signed a lease with TJ Maxx for a new 27,000 square foot store at the center. TJ Maxx will occupy space which results from a downsizing of Ashley Furniture.
"Our acquisition of the Shoppes of Lakeland supports our continuing goal of owning market dominant shopping centers anchored by multiple leading national retailers," said Dennis Gershenson, President and CEO. "The desire on the part of TJ Maxx to join our tenant line-up validates this property's strategic location in the market and will further ensure the long-term success of the shopping center."
The Shoppes of Lakeland draws from a trade area with a population of over 117,000. The center has excellent visibility and access at the interchange of Interstate 4 and US Highway 98.

Recipe Ingredients:
1 medium head of cauliflower
2 Tbl heavy cream
2 Tbl butter
1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar
4 egg whites
salt & pepper to taste
oil for frying
Clean and trim cauliflower adding florets to a microwave safe bowl. Add the cream and butter to the bowl. Microwave for 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cheese to a magic bullet or food processor and blend until still chunky - kind of like a cooked oatmeal consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for at least half an hour. Whip the egg whites to a stiff peak. Fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the cauliflower mixture to lighten it up. Then fold the cauliflower mixture into the rest of the egg whites and gently mix until combined. For best results, chill for another half hour or they won't hold their shape as well. Fit a pastry bag with a round or star tube with about a 3/4 inch opening. Spray the inside of the bag with nonstick spray. Gently squeeze out 1 inch sections onto a greased cookie sheet, cutting with a butter knife as you go. When finished, bake in a 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes (or longer if you're skipping the frying) until puffed and slightly browned. Remove from the oven and serve - or heat 1/4 inch of oil in a saute pan and when it's very hot add the tots. It doesn't need long, a minute per side to turn them golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately. These are still tasty after they cool but they start to lose their crunch only minutes after they come out of the oil so if crunch is what you're after, eat them right away! So good! Can't wait to hear what you thought of them!

25 Years Old
Nicknamed "Black Bob", Letcher was known as a witty and gregarious campaigner. He was also known to distract audiences at his opponents' campaign speeches by playing a fiddle. His political career began in 1813 when he was elected to represent Garrard County in the Kentucky House of Representatives.
27 Years Old
He served until 1815, and after a respite of one term, was re-elected in 1817.
In 1823, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives, where he served for more than a decade.
During the 1824 presidential election, he acted as an intermediary between John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay.

40 Years Old
Letcher supported Adams' administration, but became anti-administration when Jackson won the 1828 presidential contest.

In 1833, Clay proposed a compromise in the Senate to quell the Nullification Crisis; Letcher introduced Clay's compromise in the House.
In 1836, Letcher served as a presidential elector on the Whig ticket.
50 Years Old
He returned to the Kentucky House later that year, and was re-elected every year until 1838.

Just weeks after Letcher's inauguration, William Henry Harrison prevailed in the 1840 presidential election.
… Read More
If he (Crittenden) were going to accept a position in President Harrison's cabinet, Letcher would prefer he do it before March 4, 1841 so the General Assembly would still be in session to elect Crittenden's replacement in the Senate.
56 Years Old
In one of his final acts as governor, Letcher proclaimed the first thanksgiving day in Kentucky on September 26, 1844.
… Read More

Letcher arrived in Mexico City on February 3, 1850.
63 Years Old

… Read More
Letcher attempted to negotiate a new treaty to re-acquire the rights nullified by the Mexican government, but by February 14, 1852, he reported that he did not expect to be able to reach any kind of agreement.
65 Years Old
On returning to Kentucky, Letcher resumed his legal practice. In 1853, the Whig Party chose Letcher as their nominee to represent Whig Party founder Henry Clay's district in the House of Representatives.
… Read More
68 Years Old
Letcher's loss to Breckinridge would be his last run for public office, though he remained active in politics until his death. During the 1856 presidential election, Letcher spoke on behalf of Millard Fillmore in Pennsylvania, New York, and Kentucky.
69 Years Old
In 1857 and 1858, he urged John J. Crittenden to oppose the Lecompton Constitution for Kansas.
72 Years Old
After the dissolution of the Whig Party, Letcher generally supported Know-Nothing candidates in state politics. Letcher and Crittenden both supported National Union candidate John Bell in the 1860 presidential election, believing he represented the best hope of peacefully resolving the tension between the north and south.

He died at his home in Frankfort on January 24, 1861, and was buried in Frankfort Cemetery.

Adonis Delarosa is staying home after all.
The Christ the King High School boys basketball star revealed last Wednesday at a press conference at the Middle Village school that he will continue his playing career at St. John's University in the fall.
With the decision, Delarosa becomes the first Queens product since former Forest Hills High School star Maurice Harkless in 2011 to choose the Johnnies out of high school.
Delarosa announced his choice by taking off his blue polo to reveal a white St. John's T-shirt underneath.
He also took to Twitter to announce his college selection, originally scheduled for April 18.
"Next year," Delarosa wrote, "I will be attending the University of St. John's," accompanied by a picture of him in St. John's apparel posing in front of a Mercedes.
The senior proved himself to be an attractive commodity for interested college programs this past season.
Delarosa led his Middle Village high school to a fourth Catholic High School Athletic Association city championship in five years in March, as well as the school's second straight New York State Federation Tournament title.
Christ the King coach Joe Arbitello said he isn't surprised Delarosa chose to play for St. John's, as his older brother, Joey, is already enrolled at the university and expects to begin playing for the Red Storm in December.
"I think he wanted to stay home. His brother is there, someone to lean on," Arbitello said. "I think he knew where he wanted to go. It was a matter of him knowing it was the right thing."
At the press conference, Delarosa said it was a decision he struggled with but that he's excited to play for one of the most successful teams in NCAA history.
"There's nothing better than playing and putting on for your city, and also, you get to play at the Garden," Delarosa said. "It was by far the hardest decision I had to make."
The University of South Carolina recruited Delarosa hard, and other schools such as Pittsburgh, Fordham and Wichita State also expressed interest in the center.
The decision to choose St. John's comes somewhat as a surprise, as questions about the immediate future of the Red Storm basketball program swirl around this offseason.
The Johnnies lost two players over the last few weeks, as JaKarr Sampson declared for the NBA Draft and three-point specialist Max Hooper announced he is transferring to Oakland University.
St. John's center Chris Obekpa, one of the nation's best shot blockers, requested and was granted a transfer waiver from the school, but recent reports and Obekpa's Twitter feed have indicated he is leaning toward staying with the Red Storm.
St. John's point guard Phil Greene IV also teased a possible transfer from the university, but he announced his intention to return to the school on Twitter last week.
Arbitello said he believes Delarosa can succeed on the college level, as his older brother won't let him fail.
"I think his brother is more of his role model," he said. "If he doesn't want to go to the gym, his brother is going to make him."

AUD Trading Outlook
INTRADAY CONCLUSION: Overall I think the USD has topped out and will fall some more but the AUD remains very weak amongst the other majors and is again nearing really important levels against the USD, JPY and EUR. Buy intraday AUD/USD dips towards .9130 with stops below .9075.
INTRADAY CONCLUSION: I'd look to play the AUD/USD from the long side for the next few sessions. Buy intraday dips towards .9070/80 looking for a test of .9180 and possibly .9250. I don't expect any big moves today unless the Chinese CPI is well outside of market expectations.

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

A planned Republican fundraiser in New Hampshire aims to promote gun
ownership in America by letting supporters fire powerful military-style
weapons -- from Uzi submachine guns to M-16 rifles.
The Manchester Republican Committee is inviting party members and their
families to a "Machine Gun Shoot" where, for $25, supporters can spend a
day trying out automatic weapons, said organizer Jerry Thibodeau.
"It's a fun day. It's a family day," said Thibodeau of the August 5 event.
"It's quite exciting."
Local Democrats say the event is in poor taste amid a spike in violent
crime in Manchester and seeks to glorify the use of machine guns for
political gain. The right to own guns has come under heightened scrutiny
since the April shooting at Virginia Tech where a gunman killed 32 people.
"It is downright offensive," Chris Pappas, the Manchester Democratic party
chairman, told the Union Leader newspaper.
Thibodeau said he invited all the Republican candidates in the 2008
presidential race to the event at Pelham Fish and Game Club outside of
Manchester, the state's largest city, but he said they declined. He said
all shooters would undergo training.
Buying a gun in New Hampshire, whose official motto is "Live Free or Die,"
is relatively easy.
The state does not require buyers to obtain a handgun license or undergo
safety training before buying a handgun, according to the Brady Campaign
to Prevent Gun Violence, a gun-control lobby group.

Document - Colombia: Peasant farmer killed after threats
UA: 103/13 Index: AMR 23/017/2013 Colombia Date: 19 April 2013
peasant farmer killed after threats
Gunmen thought to be paramilitaries have killed a land rights activist in northern Colombia, and have threatened to kill peasant farmers trying to assert their rights over land in the region.
Land rights activist Narciso Enrique Tehrán Mejía was shot dead as he slept on 12 April. He was a member of the Association of Land Workers (Asociación de Trabajadores del Campo, ASOTRACAMPO). He had been in his home in El Tamarindo, Galapa Municipality, Atlántico Department. According to police reports, he was killed by a pistol with a silencer. His father Narciso Tehrán Maldonado is the vice-president of ASOTRACAMPO, which represents over 130 families who have been peacefully occupying part of the El Tamarindo farm since 2001.
A paramilitary group operating in the area has repeatedly threatened to kill peasant farmers living in El Tamarindo. The local civilian authorities used the security forces in an attempt to enforce orders to evict the peasant farmers on 28 January 2012; these orders had been obtained by powerful economic interests who are claiming ownership of the land. Local paramilitaries threatened the peasant farmers during this attempted eviction, but it did not succeed.
A paramilitary threatened an El Tamarindo peasant farmer on 9 April, telling him that he had to leave the area: "You are going to leave this place whether you like it or not, this land has an owner" (Saldrán de aquí a las buenas o a las malas, estas tierras tienen su dueño).
Please write immediately in Spanish or your own language:
Urging the authorities to guarantee the safety of the families of El Tamarindo, in strict accordance with their wishes;
Urging them to order full and impartial investigations into the death threats received by the families, publish the results and bring those responsible to justice;
Reminding them to fulfil their obligations set out in the 1998 UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders;
Reminding them to take action against paramilitary forces and break any links between them and the security forces, in line with repeated UN recommendations.

Peasant farmer killed AFTER THREATS
ADditional Information
Some 135 families who had been forcibly displaced from their homes in Córdoba, Magdalena and Cesar departments occupied 120 hectares of the El Tamarindo Farm, in Atlántico Department, in 2001. The farm had been abandoned. In 2007, the state authorities announced that a Free Trade Zone would be established in an area including the El Tamarindo farm. In 2008 a local business began legal proceedings claiming ownership of the land.
Millions of hectares of land have been seized during Colombia's long-running armed conflict, often through violence against the rightful owners, especially Indigenous People, Afro-descendant and peasant farmer communities. The various parties to the conflict – paramilitaries and the security forces, acting either separately or in collusion, and guerrilla groups – have driven over five million people from their homes during the course of Colombia's long-running armed conflict.
Leaders of displaced communities and those seeking the return of stolen lands have been killed or threatened for claiming rights over lands on which they have lived and farmed over several years. More people have been threatened or killed since the Victims and Land Restitution Law (Law 1448) came into force at the beginning of 2012. This law provides for reparations for many survivors of human rights abuses, including those perpetrated by state agents, as well as land restitution for some of those forced off their lands. However, many victims of the conflict will still be excluded from making claims for reparation, while significant areas of land misappropriated might still not be returned to their rightful owners. There are not enough safeguards to ensure that people whose land is returned to them are not again forced to hand over control over their land, even to those who had driven them off it. Over the last year many of those campaigning for land restitution and the recognition of their rights over lands they have been occupying, or seeking to return to their lands, have been threatened or killed, and this may undermine the implementation of the law.
On 9 April 2013, only days before the killing in El Tamarindo, Elver Cordero Oviedo, of the Victims' Roundtable of Valencia Municipality, was killed in Valencia Municipality, Córdoba Department. He had been on his way to a local march for peace when two men on motorcycles shot him.

They always say match the tie width to the lapel... but what about those thin knit ties? I'd like to try one, but most of the ones I see for sale are 1.5 inches and my lapels measure 3" at their widest.
Can I do do this?
Ok, so, this is my first post, and I'm fairly new to all this. Been lurking for a while but had a couple questions about some shoes. I really like the look. So I'm curious, are they actually good looking shoes? And what color would you suggest for an everyday shoe? I tend to like the light one.

A Small Firms Association delegation met with Minister for Business and Employment, Gerald Nash, today to set out the small business priorities for his new role.
SFA Chairman, AJ Noonan emphasised the key role of smaller firms in Ireland's nascent recovery.
"The small business sector currently employs half the private sector workforce, some 700,000 people. Whilst an economic recovery is starting to take hold, many small businesses are just getting back on their feet, and their balance sheets remain challenged after 6 years of recession. In order to secure the recovery and set small businesses on a path to growth, it is essential that competitiveness issues are prioritised in Government," he said.
Irish labour costs are now 30.8pc more than our nearest competitor, the UK, 16pc more than the EU average and 11th highest in Europe, Mr Noonan pointed out.
"This is putting us at a distinct competitive disadvantage, and is a particular problem for SMEs in the services sector where the cost of employing an individual accounts for over 80pc of location sensitive business costs (i.e. costs which vary by location rather than being set by a worldwide market). Government changes in PRSI, illness benefit, redundancy rebate, health insurance and general taxation all impact negatively. No further costs can be imposed through Budget 2015," he said.
Noonan further commented to the Minister: "It is entirely premature to be talking about across the board wage increases, which small businesses can ill-afford and which would destabilise the Government's job creation targets. Whilst much talk has been made about a Low Pay Commission, the fact is that even with the 3pc increase in the UK National Minimum Wage from October 2014, it will still only be the equivalent of E8.17 per hour, compared to our existing high rate of E8.65 per hour. We are opposed to any increase in the statutory minimum wage and mandatory sick pay or pension provision, which would have a devastating impact on the fragile recovery that is taking place in small firm employment."

I suppose I will have to start wearing an arm band that states I'm American.
This is a discussion on immigration bill within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I suppose I will have to start wearing an arm band that states I'm American....
I suppose I will have to start wearing an arm band that states I'm American.
Neither do second generation Asians, second generation Guatemalans, first generation legal immigrants in general.
There is a little clause in our constitution about equal protection. (You know, the part that caused GWB to get installed by the Supremes).
The AZ law denies equal protection to all US citizens. It effectively says some US citizens must carry a birth certificate or a passport but others don't need to do so; and the difference is their appearance.
Our Governor Jan Brewer signed SB 1108 into law last week, which allows all citizens of the state of Arizona who can legally posses a firearm to carry it concealed without regard to a CCW permit.
Yesterday Jan Brewer signed the toughest immigration bill in the U.S. into law.
For those of you who do not live on or near the southern border of the U.S the situation is rapidly becoming spiraling out of control. The liberal media only reports a small fraction of the violent crime that occurs on or near our border.
Phoenix has the highest kidnapping rate in the U.S. Murder and home invasions are through the roof. Granted most of the violent crime is drug / cartel related. A law abiding citizen can not predict when they will get caught in a cross fire between rival factions. The situation gets worse by the day. It is no longer safe to hunt in areas south of Tucson. Our deserts are littered with trash left by illegal immigrants, our streets are not safe.
The state of Arizona has begged and pleaded with the federal government to step up to the plate and do something / anything to help solve the illegal alien problem. To date the feds have only offered lip service. Yesterday Jan Brewer by signing the bill said, enough is enough. We have to protect ourselves and our interests.
I think everyone will agree that the bill is not perfect including Jan Brewer herself, but at least someone was willing to take a stand.
For those of you who are worried about racial profiling, get a life, it has been going on for a long time, how could you think it has not.
As an Arizona resident I have been lit up with the red and blue lights of the Border Patrol more than once and I am white. I have two very close friends who are naturalized citizens who get stopped all the time. They are angry because they went through the long difficult process to become citizens and the illegals are here illegally. They ARE NOT angry because they get lit up by the Border Patrol. Go figure.
For those of us who live in Arizona our governor has told us it is OK to arm yourselves, protect yourself and loved ones. It is NOT OK to be in our state illegally and don't expect help from the Obama crowd.
Thanks Jan
Don't tread on me or mine.
I am comfortable laying on a rock in the sun; bothering no one. If you choose to ignore the above statement, you will wish all you had to do, is deal with a snake.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I hear England is being taxed with high immigration. It will be interesting to see how the two nations will deal with this.
I do believe you're speculating a little, on how the law will be enforced, based on your opinion that a DL is insufficient evidence.
Something had to be done. The citizens of Az were/are in a clamor for some action to be taken. I must find the particulars of the law, before I can believe your prognostication.
Trust in God and keep your powder dry
"A heavily armed citizenry is not about overthrowing the government; it is about preventing the government from overthrowing liberty. A people stripped of their right of self defense is defenseless against their own government." -source
You go Arizona.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
This is just a little bit of a sidetrack. A few years ago in order to be able to handle some affairs of my recently deceased parents I had to carry a copy of my birth certificate with me all the time.
Guess what? It's still in my wallet and hasn't been any inconvenience.
Way to go AZ. There should be an INFORCED federal law that anyone that is illegal is deported immeidately on the next plane to their home country. Caught illegally in the country? No going anywhere except to the nearest airport. If the illegal's family is in the US illegally, they could be called from the they are deported to. Also any US employer who hires a foreign national should require documentation of citizenship or work visa. A US citizen who knowingly provides work for an illegal should face MANDATORY jail time upon conviction. If no work, there would be far fewer illegals.

For all those who are complaining about, or offended by, Arizona's new anti-illegal immigrant law:
Would you complain about, or be offended by, applying Mexico's own immigration laws to Mexicans illegally in this country? Mexico has a single, streamlined law that ensures that foreign visitors and immigrants are:
* in the country legally;
* have the means to sustain themselves economically;
* not destined to be burdens on society;
* of economic and social benefit to society;
* of good character and have no criminal records; and
* contributors to the general well-being of the nation.
The law also ensures that:
* immigration authorities have a record of each foreign visitor;
* foreign visitors do not violate their visa status;
* foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the countrys internal politics;
* foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported;
* foreign visitors violating the terms of their entry are imprisoned or deported;
* those who aid in illegal immigration will be sent to prison.

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
Yes indeed, the legal immigrant will have papers. The problem is that the way the law is written it requires possession of papers by native born US citizens and by naturalized citizens.
The way the law will be implemented is that if you are caucasian or of European descent no one will bother you. You will be able to go about your business without papers/ But if you look "alien" and get stopped, you will need papers which native born US Citizens heretofore have never been required to keep in their possession.
And if you don't have these, you will get arrested. The arrests will happen only to those who look a certain way; hence, there will not be equal protection under the law. You can't tell me you support our consitution but are willing to support an obvious breach of the equal protection clause.
Believe me, I know how difficult it can be to come to the US legally, to obtain a green card and to become a naturalized citizen. I know that lawful immigrants and naturalized citizens are among the strongest critics of those who cut in line and enter illegally.
I in no way want to make life easier for those here illegally. What I am objecting to is making life more difficult for ordinary US citizens-- which this law will in fact do. And it will do it in a way which affects only those who happen to sort of look Mexican; first and second generation native born citizens and naturalized citizens including those who earned their citizenship via military service for the US as suggested by Cpl Vargas.
My BIL served 25 years in the US NAVY and is a naturalized US citizen. His service occurred during the Viet Nam era. Under the new AZ law he will not be safe in Arizona unless he does something currently not required of any US citizen at all, anyplace but AZ.
Again for all you so called conservatives who complain about a slow movement to a "papers please" society, here you go. One giant step.
Of course you are unconcerned, because it won't affect you-- yet.
I agree with you, but the objectionable part of the new AZ statute is its implications for US citizens; not its effect on illegals.
If you could put yourself in the shoes of someone who looks different but is a US citizen you would readily see the problem the new statute.
The majority of the voting Latino population of Arizona is in favor of the new bill, as is the overwhelming number of the rest of the citizens. Until you live with the problems brought by the illegal swarm, you can't imagine the dire circumstances.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
