The Note's Must-Reads are a round-up of today's political headlines and stories from ABC News and the top U.S. newspapers. Posted Monday through Friday right here at www.abcnews.com
Compiled by ABC News' Carrie Halperin, Jayce Henderson, Will Cantine, and J.P. Lawrence
USA Today's Michael Winter: "U.S. embassies to close Sunday over unspecified threat" An apparent al-Qaeda threat to U.S. diplomatic facilities in Muslim countries prompted the State Department on Thursday to order that all American embassies and consulates be closed Sunday, several news organizations are reporting. State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said only during a daily news briefing in the morning that "certain" U.S. sites normally open on Sundays would close "out of an abundance of caution and care for our employees and others who may be visiting our installations." LINK
The New York Times' Jonathan Weisman and Jackie Calmes: "G.O.P. Rifts Lead Congress to Spending Impasse" Hours before leaving on summer recess, Congress on Thursday hit a seemingly intractable impasse on government spending, increasing the prospects of a government shutdown in the fall and adding new urgency to fiscal negotiations between the White House and a bloc of Senate Republicans. The group of eight lawmakers headed to the White House to find a way forward after Senate Republicans filibustered a housing and transportation spending measure, saying it violated a spending deal struck two years ago. LINK
The Washington Post's Lori Montgomery: "Budget truce seems out of reach as congressional recess looms" The House bill would have embraced the sequester, deep automatic budget cuts designed to shrink the federal government. The Senate bill would have ended it, restoring billions of dollars for housing, roads and bridges. This week, congressional Republicans tacitly rejected both approaches to next year's budget, leaving frustrated lawmakers wondering how they will manage to keep the government open past September, much less resolve a broader conflict over the rising national debt. LINK
The Los Angeles Times' David S. Cloud: "Pentagon Urges Congress To Rein In Sequester Cuts To Defense Budget" Senior Pentagon officials pleaded with Congress on Thursday to halt or at least delay additional budget cuts, arguing that they would produce an undersized, ill-equipped military that would have to scale back its operations around the world. "It will be truly shameful if we allow this force to travel further down the path to becoming hollow," Adm. James Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the House Armed Services Committee. "We need your help in removing the risk of financial uncertainty." LINK
Politico's John Bresnahan and Jake Sherman: "Capitol Hill's Obamacare crisis solved" Lawmakers and staff can breathe easy — their health care tab is not going to soar next year. The Office of Personnel Management, under heavy pressure from Capitol Hill, will issue a ruling that says the government can continue to make a contribution to the health care premiums of members of Congress and their aides, according to several Hill sources. LINK
The Washington Times' Tom Howell Jr.: "Administration readies income checks for Obamacare" The Obama administration is set to unveil new procedures that will greatly expand the government's ability to verify the income of Americans who seek government subsidies under the federal health care law. "We're going to be sampling 100 percent. There's new information," Gary Cohen, deputy director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, told the House Ways and Means Committee on Thursday. LINK
The Wall Street Journal's Paul Sonne: "Snowden Asylum Hits U.S.-Russia Relations" Russia granted asylum to National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden on Thursday, defying and embarrassing an Obama administration that threatened to scale back diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the U.S., lawmakers across the spectrum heaped scorn on Moscow, branding the move as a slap in the face and calling for retaliatory measures from the White House. LINK
ABC News' John Parkinson and Arlette Saenz: "With Snowden Loose, Lawmakers Urge Obama to Nix Russia Trip" After Russia today granted NSA leaker Edward Snowden asylum for one year, top lawmakers in the U.S. Congress warned that the diplomatic move jeopardizes the bilateral relationship between the former Cold War adversaries and suggested that President Obama reconsider an upcoming trip to meet with the Russian president. LINK
Bloomberg's Terry Atlas and Nicole Gaouette: "Snowden Asylum Undercuts Obama's Efforts on Russia Ties" Russia's decision to grant temporary asylum to fugitive National Security Agency leaker Edward Snowden is a blow to President Barack Obama's desire to "reset" U.S. relations with its Cold War enemy. The Russian action yesterday puts in doubt a summit planned for next month between Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and drew calls from U.S. lawmakers for retaliatory actions likely to further strain relations between the two military powers. The U.S. is evaluating the "utility" of a summit, according to White House spokesman Jay Carney, who said the president is "extremely disappointed." LINK
The Hill's Jeremy Herb: "Senate Again Confirms Dempsey As Joint Chiefs Chairman" The Senate confirmed Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Martin Dempsey to a second two-year term by voice vote on Thursday. The Senate approved Dempsey's nomination as part of a large package of nominations that were approved by voice vote before the Senate kicked off its month-long August recess. LINK
The New York Daily News' Annie Karni: "Eliot Spitzer Ignores Questions About Having A Girlfriend As Wife Is Absent From Campaign Trail" Eliot Spitzer, who has been living apart from his wife, sidestepped questions Thursday whether he now has a sweetie on the side. During a campaign stop, the disgraced Love Gov did not say "no" when a reporter asked three times whether he has a girlfriend. "I am so tired of the personal attacks and I've answered all those questions," said Spitzer, who is running for city controller. LINK

I can't believe someoneSubmitted by WilmMan on Thu, 11/15/2007 - 10:14am.
I can't believe someone would actually defend ILLEGAL immigrants. They are not suppose to be here. Get rid of them. Driving is a privilege, if you are not a citizen then you don't get that privilege. Illegals should have NO RIGHTS!!!
I don't understand why this is even a discussion.

Used one click root I think called razrs edge to root my bionic. Installed titanium backup and adfree. I backedup my apps on titanium them set up adfree and after it said I should reboot so I did. My phone then turned on but wud be stuck at the droid eye boot up thing. Did multiple battery pulls and did recovery mode... fail. plz help make my phone work again !
Did Superuser report granting permission ? And I'm guessing Titanium Backup said root access was available? What ROM ?I hope you where able to get into a non factory recovery. If you tried to restore using factory you may have to sbf and start over. Sent from the Best overlooked phone in the market. LG SPECTRUM²
Yes to your first 2 questions and I never flashed any ROMS I don't think all of did was the one click root for motorola. I think I messed it up more by booting it up by holding down the volume buttons and power button then doing some sort of data whipe after I tried recovery mode. Now the phone won't turn on at all, only when plugged into a charger, the red m shows up.

Naftali Bennett's Creative Video
January 21, 2013 | 7:59 pm
The Jewish Home party's Naftali Benent made a great video presentation about his party's suggested solution to annex area C of Judea & Samaria (West Bank). The video is clear, breezy, and creative, and the idea is a fresh alternative to the Two-State Delusion. No wonder his party is drawing so many adherents and bleeding the Likud of votes.

Carlisle 1-1 Northampton
Carlisle remain in trouble at the bottom of League One after being held by relegation rivals Northampton.The Cumbrians' first shot on target produced a goal for Lewis Neal, who received a defence-splitting pass from Michael Bridges and fired home. Liam Davis saw his low shot spilled by Ben Williams, only for Luke Guttridge to pounce from six yards and lift the ball over the keeper for the equaliser. Michael Bridges scraped the crossbar with a volley as the Cobblers held on. Carlisle:.... read more

I come from an extremely artistic family. My Dad is an architect, my mom is a graphic designer, and my sister is a painter, yet I have almost no artistic ability. Still, I realize how important it is for every person to engage in some form of creative expression. For me it's building websites and cooking, but for many people it's some type of art. Art Enables is a Washington, DC based non-profit that has found that "often people with developmental disabilities are better able to express themselves in images than in words." The organization fosters this creativity by providing a group of about thirty people (the program is open to those "18 and over from throughout the Washington metropolitan area who are diagnosed with developmental disabilities and who have the desire and the discipline to work at becoming professional visual artists") with "the resources and supports they need to become visual artists."
The best way to get a feel for the work that Art Enables does is to get to know their artists and the artwork that they produce. There is some really great stuff, and you can even buy it if you want. 60% of the earnings go back to the artists, while I'd imagine the rest goes towards keeping the program going. Beyond the organization's main goal of helping people with developmental disabilities make a living from their art, Art Enables also works "to further in the arts market an appreciation of outsider and contemporary folk art" and "further an understanding and acceptance of the alternative, visual way in which many people who are marginalized for any number of reasons can communicate when they are given the chance." It looks like a really cool organization, and if you want to join them, they're looking for a Gallery & Outreach Program Assistant. It's only a part-time position, but it's a great way to get your foot in the door.

Promoting sustainability at Greenback U. brings me into constant contact with both students and faculty. Each group has what I call its typical objection when presented with encouragement to behave more sustainably.
March 3, 2009 - 7:51pm
The story in the Chronicle yesterday about California paying its community colleges in IOU's got me thinking about reserves, and the conflicting roles they play.
In good years, some cc's are able to salt away some money and put it into reserves. (It's also commonly called a "rainy day fund.") The idea is that public funding is notoriously and viciously cyclical, so having a pile of stray money can minimize the damage you have to endure in down cycles. Given how much of our budget is fixed cost, there's a real logic to this.
But reserves are a tricky business.
March 2, 2009 - 10:18pm
I read a piece in the Chronicle recently about learning to use unstructured time productively. Or, that's what I thought it was about. As I read further, however, it seemed more to be about convincing people (and yourself) that you're working when it doesn't look like you are. That's, of course, a very different animal, and one that academic mothers in particular may have trouble with.
March 2, 2009 - 10:07pm
A new correspondent writes:
I've been doing some reading in economics lately and started wondering about higher education. What are the incentives to do administration well? Sure, there's personal satisfaction in a job well done. But what about it more broadly? How does change work into this? Without a simple goal like profit, I'm finding it hard to get even little service changes in administration. Maybe I'm simply not understanding the incentives at play? I understand (I think) the incentives at play for faculty and students, but what about administrators?

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to watch an old (old, old) movie -- Trouble in Paradise. It was released in 1932, and starred Herbert Marshall, Miriam Hopkins and Kay Francis. Particularly enjoyable to this Rocky & Bullwinkle fan were Edward Everett Horton and Charlie Ruggles in supporting roles. (If that reference doesn't make sense, you haven't watched "Fractured Fairy Tales" nearly enough. And a fairy tale is what this movie is, through and through.)

Dr. Crazy has a nice discussion over at her place about battles over curriculum. As she details it, her department has basically broken into two camps: the "eat your spinach" camp and the "let them take what they want" camp. I'm quite taken with the metaphor.

Today I taught about Bay's Theorem and Bayesian Statistics in my Advanced Statistics class. As I was lecturing, I talked a little about the game shows "Deal or No Deal" and "Let's Make a Deal", both very similar games but separated by about 30 years and some minor details. As I talked about the game shows, I found myself in a tangent discussing risk aversion, risk neutrality and risk loving behavior. It is then that I realized that these topics actually had something to say about parenting.

While we're on the subject of visual presentation of information, I just want to point out that part of the reason I'm psyched about being able to map greenhouse gas emissions geographically is because (let's be honest here) there isn't currently an effective visual image of climate disruption.

And now it's gone.
The owner of the building chopped the whole thing out.
It's been vandalised again. Tagged this time, I've heard.
There are some very odd people around. But that's not news, is it?
I wonder if an extractor fan might be a better solution. That way you'd get the warm moist air removed before it caused condensation, rather than trying to de-humidify it.
Opening the internal doors probably just lets the moisture spread around the house to cause condensation where you may notice it less.
Or buy headphones and open the external doors and windows.
On a Windows PC each user account can have its own Garmin device paired. Or so I recall reading somewhere. So 2 user accounts would be needed to use 2 Garmins.
I've never used a MAC, so no idea if multiple logins can be done.
Well, I'm not tooo far behind you Dennis - just a wee bit closer to 63 than 62. I'm taking the opposite route though by concentrating on short stuff - 400m up to (perhaps) 5k on the track.
My theory is that outright speed will be lost more rapidly than endurance as I age. So train for speed to keep what little I've still got.

Multiphysics Modelling of Atmospheric Plasma Jets
S. Kelly, and M. TurnerNational Centre for Plasma Science and Technology
Dublin City University
Dublin, Ireland
Fluid model calculations are a useful method to simulate the chemistry rich plasma sources often used in applications of cold atmospheric plasmas. Atmospheric pressure plasma jets provide plasmas that are not spatially bound to any electrode. Typically a plasma is generated internally and then convected to an ambient environment via a gas flow. In this work we outline preliminary models for mass transport of plasma species in the inter and outer electrode regions of a non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma jet.
We use the plasma module coupled with the laminar flow and transport of diluted species modules in Comsol version 4.2 for simulation of the plasma jet.

While it's a relatively simple part of your automobile, the negative impacts of a missing Volkswagen Scirocco door handle will certainly be felt if one is either gone or done for. The downside to not having an operational handle is that you'll need to improvise to get into your Volkswagen Scirocco; it's either that or get a new handle. To put it bluntly, the door handle is vital to your automobile, however simple or basic a part it is.
To illustrate the point further, we will remind you that the Volkswagen Scirocco door handle will be the first component you'll need to touch any time you feel like driving anywhere. Use your Volkswagen Scirocco like it was designed to be used; have any cracked or missing handles resolved promptly or suffer the consequences. If you get a kick out of climbing through one of the car's windows daily only to have the ability to go to work, be our guest; or else, consider obtaining a reputable replacement for that broken door handle.
OES Genuine, Putco, and Brite Chrome: just some of the makers of the Volkswagen Scirocco door handle you're seeking for-we've got every one of them right here; since you're shopping at Parts Train, a brief glance through our catalogs can tell you that these topnotch parts are all offered at rock-bottom prices.

Strange, slow Aero animations
Ever have this happen?
I booted up and my system seemed to take a few seconds longer before the Windows 7 login screen appeared and it seemed slow. I logged in and when the screen fades and the desktop appears, it was like it was in slow motion. The PC was running fast and all, but the animations were slow; Fades, minimize, maximize, movement of windows, etc. I checked the clock/fan speeds of the card and they were normal. It was the weirdest thing and I'd never seen that before. I hadn't changed drivers or installed anything. I am running virus software. So I rebooted and it was back to normal. Played SWTOR all night, no issues. After I played, I rebooted again to see if it was OK and everything was fine. I googled it and it seems like it's happened to others before, something about the driver not loading correctly or something. There was nothing in the event log. |
Re: Strange, slow Aero animations
Its some randy driver issue, i had it happen to me with my GTX 460 card it would do that once and awhile and as soon as u restart boom it works normally.

37 Ways to Volunteer While Traveling
There are a lot of volunteer opportunities out there, but sometimes doing the research can be painful and very time consuming. Listed below are volunteer ideas that either require pre-arrangement or can be arranged once you arrive at your destination. Some are free and some require money. Whatever your preference is, I hope these ideas help inspire you as you look for ways to give back while traveling.
- An Orphanage- Most need to be arranged in advance & require a minimum of 2 to 3 weeks.
- Teaching English in a refugee camp- there is a lot of grass roots organizations in refugee camps looking for volunteers to teach English. Some even offer a small stipend to help with room & board during your time.
- Visit an Immigration Detention Centre -Visits are usually arranged by a grass roots organization. Some cities may allow you to go on your own.
- Become a farm hand -this can be a lot of fun, but requires very early mornings and a lot of hard work.
- Harvest Rice -It's a hard job. BUT apparently you get your very own sickle! Hit up Sally from Unbravegirl. She's done it and can give you her thoughts.
- Work on a coffee or tea farm/plantation- Akha Ama Coffee in Northern Thailand is a great example of this type of work.
- Help build a school -This is generally pre-arranged through an organization and may have costs attached to it.
- Help build homes -This is also usually a pre-arranged program and may have costs.
- Visit refugees in their homes- Contact a local grass roots organization when you arrive to help with arrangements/introductions.
- Work in the office of a grass roots organization -may not sound glamorous, but it's still important and can open up more volunteer opportunities should you be looking for them.
- Visit a local hospital- Most people in the hospital enjoy visitors. Contact the hospital prior to your visit and ask if they'll allow you to come visit children, seniors etc.
- Join the Peace Core- Definitely for serious volunteers only
- Disaster Relief- natural disasters are harsh in many ways. If you know you're going to be in an area that has been hit, seek out the Red Cross of other organizations and ask how you can help. Every available hand is needed.
- Child trafficking Aid- work with children who have been trafficked. There is an organization in Pattaya that helps girls who have been sold into prostitution. It's heavy. Be mentally prepared for this one.
- Help Sea Turtles- I had to put it. You know you want to spend money to sit in the dark and babysit sea turtles. Actually, I would probably do it.
- Autism Art Therapist- Something like this would require education and pre-arrangement.
- Work at a UNESCO site- Yes, they take volunteers!! Should be pre-arranged.
- Help with an NGO fundraiser -this can be arranged once you arrive at your destination.
- Archeological Projects- should be pre-arranged and would require at least a few weeks commitment.
- Work with children or adults with disabilities- Depending on where you are, you may be able to arrange this once you arrive at your destination.
- Join a conservation project- can be either pre-arranged, or found once you arrive.
- Work at a Hospice- this may require some medical experience. Depends on the clinic. Definitely worth looking into.
- Crabbing- work on a crabbing boat! Maybe you can score so super yummy seafood.
- Ranching -oh come on, you know you want to go on a cattle drive!!
- Help preserve the culture of hill tribes in Northern Thailand- this requires a pre-arrangement and costs 7500 baht.
- Work with the red cross- may require some medical experience. Can be pre-arranged or secured on site. It depends on your location.
- Help renovate hiking trails -may require pre-arrangement.
- Therapeutic activities with the Elderly- it can be highly rewarding.
- Summer camp counselor- needs to be pre-arranged
- Teach English to street kids- this can usually be arranged after you arrive.
- Plant trees – can be pre-arranged or found once you arrive.
- Animal rescue- same as above.
- Join the Green Army in Reykjavik- help clean streets, clean up graffiti etc. Costs 120 Euros
- Work at a youth center- can be pre-arranged or found once you arrive.
- Help organize a rock festival- oh yes, they exist!!
- Olympic or World Sporting Events- needs to be pre-arranged.
- Work with the blind- can be arranged on arrival
Finding an opportunity to volunteer while you're on the road doesn't have to take a lot of time. If you'd prefer to wing it, simply reach out and contact some NGO's once you arrive, ask around at your hostel and ask locals. There are opportunities to give back in every city, town or village. It's up to you to find the one that best suits you.

Pingback: Best International Volunteering Articles
Great ideas! I've taught English for a day at a small village school in Romania, helped around the CouchSurfing offices in Turkey and volunteered for a youth hostel in Montenegro. All were great and I learned different things from them. It was worth it even just for being able to unpack my bag for a while on a long trip. When people think they don't want to travel with their kids, I always suggest the sea turtle thing or an eco camp- they'd be great things to do with kids!
Great list, but, ahem, I am sad to report I never harvested rice… I only got to weed it. This is what happens when you show up to the rice farm during the not-so-exciting rice-weeding season!
I'd love to help sea turtles or work on hiking trails. So many great ideas but do you have some resources (links) to find these kinds of opportunities?

Dumb BBM issue
Why could they not have coded BBM so we could call the contact right from the chat window, like in OS7? I can only do that through the HUB when clicking on BBM contacts there, not from within a chat or when I access BBM through the desktop icon...how dumb and unproductive is that on a touchscreen phone???
Steve - Besadmin -
Do you mean a BBM Voice Chat call? Because you can make those right from the BBM app - just press and hold a contact until a menu appears, then press Start Voice Chat. The option is also there in a chat, in the top-right corner.

Actually you can. If you tap the top of the chat, the blue bar at the top where the name and picture is, then at the bottom of the next screen you can open his profile in contacts, then call from there.
- 02-10-13, 05:24 PM Thread Author #4
Yes, but for some reason, clicking on the blue bar doesn't always give me the contacts button below...that's another issue altogether, but thanks for the help!
Steve - Besadmin - 02-10-13, 05:31 PM #5
Do you have that person's information then? If you don't have their number saved in contacts, then regardless of BB10 or any legacy OS, you wouldn't be able to call anyway. That was one of the great things I liked about BBM. I could give my pin to someone and not worry about them ever having my number.

Watkins practices, Bills mum on Sunday status
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 1 2014 3:16PM
The Buffalo Bills viewed quite a welcomed sight on the practice field Monday. Rookie wide receiver Sammy Watkins was back on the practice field just five days removed from re-injuring his ribs in the team's preseason finale.
The Bills gave no indication after practice on just how much Watkins was able to do during practice, nor did they reveal his playing status for Sunday. When asked if he believed he would play, the first-round pick initially responded in the affirmative: "Of course."
Watkins had to leave the team's final exhibition contest against Detroit on Thursday after Lions linebacker Ashlee Palmer hit the wideout in the midsection with his forearm. He missed the game against Tampa Bay after the initial injury occurred against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The wideout was joined on the field by a few other players returning from injury. Guard Chris Williams, tight end Scott Chandler and cornerback Stephon Gilmore all were able to participate during positional drills Monday.
The Bills were only without tight end Lee Smith (toe) and linebacker Randell Johnson (ankle) during the session. Smith was not on the field in any capacity, but Johnson was at least able to work to the side with members of the training staff.
The team has shifted back into regular season mode and will resume getting Tuesdays off for practice starting this week. The Bills will return back to practice on Wednesday afternoon in preparation for the regular season opener against the Chicago Bears.

Health savings accounts
April 05, 2007
Health savings accounts allow employees to set aside money on a tax-free basis to pay for future medical expenses.
Health savings accounts must be used in conjunction with employer-provided, high-deductible health plans with an annual maximum limit on out-of-pocket and deductible expenses. Other features of health savings accounts include the rollover of unused contributions, the portability of accounts, and tax-free interest.
The chart shows that, in 2006, 9 percent of employees who worked in establishments with 100 or more employees had access to health savings accounts, while 3 percent of employees who worked in establishments with 1 to 99 workers had access to such accounts.
It also shows that 6 percent of workers who worked in metropolitan areas had access to health savings accounts and that 4 percent of workers in nonmetropolitan areas had access to such accounts.
These data are from the BLS National Compensation Survey program. Learn more in "Pretax Benefits: Access to Section 125 Cafeteria Benefits and Health Savings Accounts in the United States, Private Industry," in the March 2007 issue of Compensation and Working Conditions Online.

Any participants out there?0Jun 15, '12 by Ornurse1999I have been in the KARE for nurses program for nearly four years. i have to tell you there is nothing "caring" about it. The KBN is no better than any other BON. They are NOT your friend and will burn you with any chance they get. It is also a 5 year program unlike some other states that only have 3 year programs or less. their monitoring is extremely expensive and be prepared to be tested every week or so at 40 bucks a pop. If I had it to do all over I would have contacted an attorney before signing anything. i recently spoke with an attorney who made a deal for three years for a nurse in the same circumstances as me. Attorneys can negotiate better terms for you. There are a couple of attorneys in Louisville that deal with the KBN. I think that would be the best route.

Definitely – that's what I was asking myself when I read this? What's one got to do with the other? The bottom line is that homosexuality is clearly spoken against in the Bible. Also, as a friend pointed out to me tonight, making a law allowing same-sex marriage would open the gate for any 2 individuals to "marry." Men & boys, incestuous family members, adults with children (wouldn't Islam support THAT!) , just to name a few. Also, this would be the end of free speech and freedom of religion as we know it. Christian pastors who oppose it on Biblical grounds would be forced to perform these "marriages" or be sued (or worse), business owners (like the bakery which was called to make a "wedding cake" for a same sex couple and refused was taken to court), and no one would be able to say a word in defense of Biblical marriage! We've sunk far enough already; This needs to STOP!

No- Tourette's is involuntary – what they did was COMPLETELY by choice. It shows how tacky and class-less they (the gay activists) are. I've known quite a few gay people over the years, but none of them have been this rude and obnoxious. This kind of behavior takes a pro (activist). But the White House should have known better than to invite them. Well, (hopefully) lesson learned (or maybe I'm being too optimistic).

Yes, I agree. Would they have been so cooperative if the request had been made by Romney? You know they wouldn't, but the race card would have been flying! But because it's Obama (as minority himself and liberal, not because he's president), they probably laughed about it as they turned in their silverware. Wake up, people – he is not your friend! All he wants is money and votes – but he's as much of a racial profiler as all the police that Latinos are always accusing of the same!
In reply to The-Monk's comment on the story Paranoid? Secret Service Now Treating Silverware as a Threat to President Obama
June 23, 2012 at 11:48am
Seems very racially profiling of him. As it's already been mentioned, I doubt that any of his la-di-da rich people's fund-raisers have been asked to surrender any of their silverware. What an insult to Latinos! Would they stand (or sit) for that if it was Romney who required it? I doubt it. And really – forks? With all the automatic weapons he's sent into Mexico, I think forks should be the least of his concerns.

Just as MANY people jumped to conclusions that were wrong and tried Zimmerman in the media, we need to be careful that we don't rush to judgment ourselves in a case like this. This boy is in an HONORS class, which should say something first of all. Next, what is his record of behavior like? Has he ever shown disrespect for the flag or America in the past? If so, then let the consequence fit the crime. But until everything is out there about him, we need to be careful not to be guilty of the same nonsense we are seeing on the liberal side! Two wrongs still don't make a right. Facts first!
January 19, 2012 at 7:36pm
the Jeffersonian,
You mentioned Muslims praying as if it were a hypothetical. In fact, they are already given space in (some, maybe even many) public schools, during the school day, to pray, at least during Ramadan, if not at all times for those who choose. So then, if that is already the case, why not allow other students to pray?
The idea of disallowing a church to meet in a (unused on weekends) public school building for prayer and services is ludicrous. What are they afraid of? It might "rub off" and make them Christian? It doesn't work that way. If any other business – and probably other than CHRISTIAN religious organization – wanted to rent the space on a Sunday, I can't see as they would be denied. It's money in their pockets. They've been doing it for years. NOW it becomes a matter of separation of church and state? Ridiculous!
In reply to schroeder123's comment on the story 'Unconstitutional': Critics Slam FL Bill Allowing Prayer at School Events
January 15, 2012 at 10:39pm
Muslim children are already given space in public schools to pray during Ramadan (and other times?) DURING school hours. So is that not a church vs. state conflict? But when churches want to pay to use the facilities when NO children (hence: no conflict ) are present, the state puts up a STINK! Unreal!
December 17, 2011 at 3:35am
I don't know anything about football and have only recently heard of Tim Tebow. But what I have heard of him, I am proud of, as I know his Heavenly Father is even more. He's not doing what he does for the praise of men but to let them know who is really in charge and to give Jesus the glory. There will always be people like Press who are afraid of and put off by TRUTH (Jn. 14:6) and the FACT that they will one day be standing before Jesus as their JUDGE, like it or not.
I agree that Christians need to stand up for what we believe and make Jesus known in the public arena – and Tim is doing an awesome job of that, but I also have a problem with some "Christians" here who use the world's (and Press's) own language and insults against him. We must remember what Paul says about Spiritual Warfare! We do NOT fight as the world does. We need to PRAY for people like Press who are willingly ignorant. Jesus told us to pray for our enemies, and Stephen, as he was being stoned to death, prayed that God not hold it against them (because of their spiritual blindness and ignorance). Let's be sure to follow the right examples here in order not to come across as rude and tacky as Press does. Would Jesus want us to talk like they do? I think we need to be careful and pray before responding. Otherwise, we're no different than they are.

It's BEEN Muslims for a long time; they're just getting bolder – thanks to political correctness. They demand – and TEACH – "Sensitivity" to their ways but give others no such sensitivity (like in the case of the Mosque and "Community Center" at Ground Zero!). The more we go out of our way to give in to them, the more they see us as weak and disrespect us. They use those who stand with them for their "freedom's sake" and later (history proves) those "useful idiots" are first in line to be beheaded (such as homosexuals, Marxists, etc.). We need to wake up before it's too late!

Once again they are using their favorite tactics – "Poor Muslim victims of discrimination" and using America's PC attitudes and freedoms to ELIMINATE our freedoms! We need to seriously PRAY because they will INFILTRATE ALL our churches and Christian organizations, turning them on their ear under the banner of "religious freedom," yet, as always, only one way.

Other countries have banned Muslim terrorist organizations but ours – because of stupid notions like Political Correctness – and our Muslim-sympathizing president – is in bed with them. We need to get him out of office first of all, before he destroys this country completely!

Whoa – I hate to see how he punishes students for saying "Merry Christmas"! Seriously, I'd like to see his awesome class as a teacher; doesn't he have worse behaviors to deal with than people wishing each other well (what "God bless you" has become, since no one believes in the reason it was originally said)? He's really punishing them for using God's name, I'm sure. To make a big deal and call 3 words "disruptive" and "wasting class time" is just a ludicrous excuse. Just teach and stop wasting student's freedoms of speech. I'll bet he doesn't dock grades for their use of truly foul language. But just don't say "God" or you'll fail. That's the bottom line and should be dealt with by either talking to the principal or school board.

And I'll bet you the teacher gets fired or reprimanded/suspended for doing so – unless it's in the south – maybe.
October 1, 2011 at 2:01pm
Why do we even give this individual the time of day? And you are right, why would a Catholic institution invite him to speak? And then be surprised and horrified by what he says? Not too bright. I've been a special ed. teacher and when you have kids you know are just doing bizarre things (or saying them) for attention, you DON'T give it to them. I think this nation need to learn that. Sure, sometimes we need to take a stand (as in the case of Islam trying to take over the world or something like that). But people like Moore? Not worth responding. Just refuse to watch and listen to his nonsense. Just say NO.

Especially since they don't have any under Sharia law! Yet, they're using the freedom to speak, in France, (as they are here, appealing to our pathetic Political Correctness) to (ultimately) take AWAY our freedoms and make us like them! Are we ready for "Burqas R Us"? I don't know about anyone else, but I don't look good in black!

If France doesn't stick with their guns on this, they will be replaced by an Islamic nation. And our country should wake up and smell the falafals before it's too late! As horrible a relligion as Islam is, straight from hell (read the Qu'ran if you need convincing) one thing you have to say for them is that these are people who understand dedication and commitment, if misdirected. If the Christian church doesn't wake up QUICKLY, recognize our MISSION and our RESPONSIBILITY, to Christ and our nation as well as Israel, then we will deserve what we get in the end, which is what Islam wants: to extinguish us from the planet. Jesus WILL come and WILL reign, but He has put us here to partner with Him. But we can't do much from our beds and lazy-boys! WAKE UP, church, before we're SWALLOWED up, and we have no one to blame but ourselves!

Two questions for these atheists: 1) How do you feel about censorship (other than the Bible)? I suspect you would throw a FIT if anyone were to shut down some porno magazine because of "Freedom of Speech." Yet, it's OK to censor and "edit" the Bible. 2) What about the Qu'ran? You talk about immoral? Here's a book that talks CONSTANTLY about killing all non-believers! It's a total HATE book. Let's see you editing or censoring THAT book! If you have the GUTS to do that, we can talk. Until that, I will ignore your nonsense, because your rants are gutless and irrelevant.

September 13, 2011 at 11:36pm
You can't. They are mutually exclusive. The whole point of Christianity is that Christ came, God become man, to suffer and die in place of sinful humans in order to reconcile us back to God because we COULDN'T pay for our own sins. By trusting in HIS sacrifice, God no longer sees our sinfulness, but His blood covers our UNrighteousness so that, as with the passover blood of the lambs that God called the Jews to cover their doors with in order that the angel of death would PASS OVER their homes, God sees JESUS' righteousness and attributes it to US.
Now, if this is the case, as Christ followers have believed for 2,000 years, why would we NEED to depend on endless cycles of death and rebirth (in this life) in order to EARN our way to heaven? In the New Testament book of Ephesians (2:8, 9), Paul writes this (and there are MANY similar passages): "for it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast." The tragedy of this kind of wrong theology comes from not reading and knowing what you say you believe. Christians, before it's too late and we've lost our freedom to read the Bible, it's time to read and learn what it says NOW, so that we are not easily confused and deceived. The Bible warns that many WILL be. As with so much else going on and Glenn's warning on those levels, the same applies here: WAKE UP and KNOW what you believe, Christians!

Product description
""It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured."" So begins this epic, mesmerizing first novel set in the underworld of contemporary Bombay. "Shantaram" is narrated by Lin, an escaped convict with a false passport who flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of a city where he can disappear. Accompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, the two enter Bombay's hidden society of beggars and gangsters, prostitutes and holy men, soldiers and actors, and Indians and exiles from other countries, who seek in this remarkable place what they cannot find elsewhere. As a hunted man without a home, family, or identity, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city's poorest slums, and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. The search leads him to war, prison torture, murder, and a series of enigmatic and bloody betrayals. The keys to unlock the mysteries and intrigues that bind Lin are held by two people. The first is Khader Khan: mafia godfather, criminal-philosopher-saint, and mentor to Lin in the underworld of the Golden City. The second is Karla: elusive, dangerous, and beautiful, whose passions are driven by secrets that torment her and yet give her a terrible power. Burning slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison agonies, criminal wars and Bollywood films, spiritual gurus and mujaheddin guerrillas---this huge novel has the world of human experience in its reach, and a passionate love for India at its heart. Based on the life of the author, it is by any measure the debut of an extraordinary voice in literature.

Author information
Gregory David Roberts, the author of "Shantaram" and its sequel, "The Mountain Shadow," was born in Melbourne, Australia. Sentenced to nineteen years in prison for a series of armed robberies, he escaped and spent ten of his fugitive years in Bombay--where he established a free medical clinic for slum-dwellers, and worked as a counterfeiter, smuggler, gunrunner, and street soldier for a branch of the Bombay mafia. Recaptured, he served out his sentence, and established a successful multimedia company upon his release. Roberts is now a full-time writer and lives in Bombay.
Customer reviews
By Lauren Ixer 02 Feb 2012
I absolutely loved this book and really didn't want it to end. It was elaborate, colourful, heart wrenching and hilarious. I was completely drawn into the exciting, fast-paced world of Bombay and felt deeply for the characters. I wish I could read it for the first time again and again!! I can not recommend it enough (its only downside is the size - carrying it around in my handbag was a struggle, but definitely worth it!!)
By Sarah E Wheatley 07 Jan 2012
Shantaram is in my "Top 20 Books I've Ever Read (So Far)" list. It's a book I've shared again and again. It's a book I always come back to and a book I was sad to see end.
Review quote
""Shantaram" is a novel of the first order, a work of extraordinary art, a thing of exceptional beauty. If someone asked me what the book was about, I would have to say everything, every thing in the world. Gregory David Roberts does for Bombay what Lawrence Durrell did for Alexandria, what Melville did for the South Seas, and what Thoreau did for Walden Pond: He makes it an eternal player in the literature of the world." - Pat Conroy ""Shantaram" has provided me with the richest reading experience to date and I don't expect anybody to unseat its all-round performance for a long time. It is seductive, powerful, complex, and blessed with a perfect voice. Like a voodoo ghost snatcher, Gregory David Roberts has captured the spirits of the likes of Henri Charriere, Rohinton Mistry, Tom Wolfe, and Mario Vargas Llosa, fused them with his own unique magic, and built the most gripping monument in print. The land of the god Ganesh has unchained the elephant, and with the monster running amok, I tremble for the brave soul dreaming of writing a novel about India. Gregory David Roberts is a suitable giant, a dazzling guru, and a genius in full." - Moses Isegawa, author of "Abyssinian Chronicles "and "Snakepit " "Shantaram is, quite simply, the 1001 Arabian Nights of the new century. Anyone who loves to read has been looking for this book all their reading life. Anyone who walks away from Shantaram untouched is either heartless or dead or both. I haven't had such a wonderful time in years." - Jonathan Carroll, author of "White Apples" "Shantaram is dazzling. More importantly, it offers a lesson...that those we incarcerate are human beings. They deserve to be treated with dignity. Some of them, after all, may be exceptional. Some may even possess genius." - Ayelet Waldman, author of "Crossing the Park" "Utterly unique, absolutely audacious, and wonderfully wild, "Shantaram "is sure to catch even the most fantastic of imaginations off guard." ---"Elle" "" ""Shantaram" had me hooked from the first sentence. [It]""is thrilling, touching, frightening...a glorious wallow of a novel." ---"Detroit Free Press" "" "[A] sprawling, intelligent novel full of vibrant characters the exuberance of his prose is refreshing Roberts brings us through Bombay's slums and opium houses, its prostitution dens and ex-pat bars, saying, You come now. And we follow." ---"The Washington Post" "Inspired storytelling." --"People" "" "Vivid, entertaining. Its visceral, cinematic descriptive beauty truly impresses." --"USA"" Today" "" "Few stand out quite like "Shantaram" nothing if not entertaining. Sometimes a big story is its own best reward." --"The New York Times" ..".very good...vast of vision and breadth." --"Time Out" "This massive autobiographical novel draws heavily from Roberts' vida loca. Don't let the size scare you away -" Shantaram" is one of the most gripping tales of personal redemption you'll ever read." --"Giant Magazine" "This reviewer is amazed that Roberts is here to write anything. Swallowed up by the abyss, somehow he crawled out intact .His love for other people was his salvation Powerful books can change our lives. The potency of "Shantaram" is the joy of forgiveness. First we must regret, then forgive. Forgiveness is a beacon in the blackness." --"Dayton"" Daily News" " "Shantaram" is loads of colorful fun, [it] rises to something grand in its evocations of the pungent chaos of Bombay. " --"Minneapolis"" Star Tribune" "" ""Shantaram" is a true epic. It is a huge, messy, over-the-top irresistible shaggy-dog story." --"The ""Seattle"" Times" "

Phil Davis: I hate to see Paterno removed for this
MMAWeekly Radio recently interviewed four-time All-American at Penn State Phil Davis about the recent firing of beloved campus figure Joe Paterno over his handling of child sexual abuse by one of his staff. Read entire article... Related MMA gear from the UG Store
Recent Comments »11/15/11 9:44 PM by PrideNeverDiethe problem is ... he put his career over stopping a pedo and making sure the kid and future children like him didn't get raped ... then he continued to be friends with him for over 8 years with no follow up 11/15/11 9:39 PM by crowbarLion`s that hung around Mount Nittany. ^^^^^ 11/15/11 9:08 PM by 1ChromosomeTooManyWTF is a "Nittany Lion" anyway? 11/15/11 9:05 PM by Porkchop74look at it this way if Joe had called the cops right then like so many claim they would have fired the Sandusky too. then if the investigation by the police turn up the other guy made the story up to get the Sandusky out of the way then you have a big issue now the school name dragged into the mud you have a guy suing you and the school you lose your coaching career all because some guy told you something. now we all now see this kid was telling he truth but Joe did what he was suppose to do report it to his boss who then with campus police failed to do anything about it but cover it up. so before you all go off like you have you have to look at it in both viewso do not all try and put the blame all on joe when in fact McQueary saw it with his own eyes he should have called the police instead he went to his dad and waited a few days to say anything 11/15/11 8:20 PM by Cha0s008This.I CURRENTLY go to Penn State and I'm completely disgusted by this situation. 11/15/11 8:13 PM by mcqExplain to me how someone that graduated 5, 10, 20 years ago is to be blamed for this evil? Do you honestly not think that the vast majority of Penn State grads are just as disgusted as everyone else? 11/15/11 7:55 PM by AlumynabjjI have to be honest I didnt read the entire thing. I thought you were refering to molestations going on at Sandusky's house. You are correct, non happened at JoePa's house. Just his practice rooms multiple times. 11/15/11 7:26 PM by Cha0s008Please give me a link to where you read this at. I've read NOTHING (except a typo in 1 article) that said any of this abuse occurred at Paterno's house. 11/15/11 7:26 PM by Cha0s008^Sandusky is the one who had the kids stay in his basement....not Paterno.Is it really that hard for people to distinguish the two?I guess I can understand how you read it that way......but Shahnahansah was saying that the rape/abuse happened at Paterno's house.....and that is false. 11/15/11 7:22 PM by AlumynabjjNo it did happen at his house. He had a room setup in his basemenet where they would stay. |

By Daniel S. Marciniak,
U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs
July 2, 2013
NEWPORT, R.I. – The U.S. Naval War College (NWC) welcomed its 54th president during a change of command ceremony onboard Naval Station Newport, July 2.
Rear Adm. Walter E. "Ted" Carter Jr. relieved Rear Adm. John N. Christenson, who has been at the helm since March 30, 2011.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, the ceremony's presiding official and guest speaker, commended Christenson for a job well done.
"He has led this college through some very, very dynamic times," said Greenert, referring to the fiscal uncertainty of the past 12 months and the recent support provided by the NWC to Operation Odyssey Dawn and the Asia-Pacific rebalance. "He certainly was the right person for the job."
In recognition of his achievements, Christenson received the Navy Distinguished Service Medal.
Christenson leaves the "Navy's Home of Thought" for his next assignment as deputy U.S. military representative to NATO Military Committee in Brussels, Belgium.
"Others may command fleets of ships and aircraft, and today some even command fleets of cyber warriors," said Christenson. "I was privileged to command the United States Navy's fleet of minds."
He went on to tell the NWC's 'fleet of minds' that their hard work does not go unnoticed.
"You are the engine room of this war college," said Christenson. "I am extremely proud that your curriculum is regarded as the most prestigious of all the joint professional military education institutions."
Carter, a native of Burrillville, R.I., thanked Greenert for giving him the opportunity to return home and to lead the U.S. military's oldest and most prestigious academic institution.
"I am excited, humbled and have never been more proud to be a naval officer than today at this very moment," said Carter.
Having most recently served as director for the Navy's 21st Century Sailor Office and, before that, commander of Enterprise Carrier Strike Group, Carter was hand selected by Greenert to lead the NWC in the 21st century.
"This is the guy I want up here," said Greenert. "He's a visionary … someone who's wholly committed to the institution. He will sustain this war college as our finest and most relevant, and develop the naval strategists for the 21st century."
Carter concluded his remarks by sharing his vision for the way forward.
"My highest commitment to you, our world-class faculty and staff, is to continue to respect the institution of the Naval War College and the values we stand for," said Carter. "We as a team will promote higher-level thinking and critical writing by continuing to educate tomorrow's leaders.
"We will protect the mission of the war college through creative innovation, in-depth analyses, and rigorous computer-based, table-top gaming, all the while embracing the military transition our nation will require us to face in the next decade."

3 A DEMO!!haphazard | 25/09/2007 | See all haphazard's reviews (3)now i'm a pro evo fan, and i purchased the FINISHED fifa game, and i think it's a pretty decent game. however, what i don't understand is, why some people here feel the need to write a review for a FINISHED game, when they've only played the DEMO!! do these people know that some customers may rely on the rating system as to whether they should buy the FULL game or not, and therefore it is irrelevant what other users think of the DEMO?? use your noggin people.
1 Leave this well alone!!!scuffer | 19/09/2007 | See all scuffer's reviews (5)I have just downloaded the demo of this and cannot believe how poor this is in comparison to how the pro evo games play. I looked forward to having a go on Fifa as had read that the series were taking great leaps forward and "catching up to pro evo slowly but surely". Having played the demo though they are not even in the same league! fifa is slow, no proper control of passing, the shooting is horrendous, even with the power bar! I cannot see why the fifa genre still sells so much when they churn out games like this.I will put it to you plain and simple, what do you value more:- graphics or real life playability?? Pro evo wins every time. And the graphics & licenses on pro evo are just about on par with Fifa now anyway!Dont be absurd, avoid this at all cost and spend your hard earned money no Pro Evo, there's no competition whatsoever!(and anyone who disagrees clearly do not know how a football game should play and feel - Fifa is arcade football, no realism at all).
1 nightmare !gunga93 | 24/09/2007 | See all gunga93's reviews (1)downloaded the demo !! very bad. why to the players moove about as fast as snails ? looks like its pro evo again this year !!! when will they get it rite ?
5 Forgive me father, for I have sinned.weirdfishes | 23/04/2008 | See all weirdfishes's reviews (6)A devout Pro Evo player and addict up until the astonishingly bad Pes 2008, I went against the grain and begrudgingly brough Fifa 08 for the PS3. Painful as it is to admit, Fifa 08 is infinitely better than Pes 2008, and any football game I've played previously. The pace of the game is perfect, the balance and shape of the matches is flawless, and the graphics and presentation are the best I've seen. Missing a one-on-one on Pes 2008 is of no concern to anyone, knowing that another chance is likely to come 40-fold during the match. The pace of Fifa allows for a less arcadey experience, and genuinely requires thought and deliberation to crack. I hide the box from my friends and family, as I am still ashamed to have bought a Fifa title, but this game is genius.
4 Whats the problem?????? This is a good game!Johnnerz | 24/09/2007 | See all Johnnerz's reviews (2)This is based on the Demo.This is a solid game, the graphics and animation are excellent, the player likeness's are very acurate and the best thing of all.......the game play seems to be pretty good too.At first it seems a bit sluggish, but as you play it just feels more realistic. This of you that actually play football will know that players can't twist and turn at the speed of light.For me personally, the games play seems to more realistic.You are able to inject a bit of pace into the game through slick passing, one-two's etc or slow it down, spread the ball around etc.Those reviewers saying PES 08 is ten times better etc, what are you basing your comments on?I personally loved the PES games until last years "net gen" game (on the 360), it was like going back in time, simply awful. This years game is an update/improvement of last years game engine. There are not any demos in the mainstream so lets all try to keep reviews of Fifa 08 factual and not score the game down in comparison to agame that has not been played. Very frustrating.Brand loyalty to this degree is quite stupid.

text: I don't know what's more embarrasing for him...that he would take a military discount at the mall when he's not military? or that the cashier's didn't recognize the "famous" el paso dj in person?
