MidSouth Bank warns of latest debit, credit card scam
Lafayette, LA (MidSouth Bank) — MidSouth Bank is warning the public of a new phone scam from an automated caller. Thus far, the majority of reports to the bank are from non-customers in South Louisiana who are receiving a call from (877) 886-1996 and (877) 635-0049.
The automated message tells the receiver of the call that his or her MidSouth Bank debit card or credit card has been deactivated.
If customers receive this phone call, they should disconnect the call immediately and not give any of their personal information. DO NOT return calls from these phone numbers, as the automated message will try to make you believe you are calling MidSouth Bank.
If customers have any concerns that their personal information may be compromised, they should call the MidSouth Bank Customer Care Center at 1-800-213-BANK (2265) or one of the bank locations listed at midsouthbank.com.
MidSouth Bank stresses that its customers always be mindful that the bank will NEVER contact them to request personal information about their account. The bank will never ask for your debit or credit card number, expiration date or PIN. Additionally, the bank does not ask third-party vendors to contact its customers regarding account activity, including debit card problems or deactivation.
This is the second known debit card scam of this kind so far this year. Earlier this year, a number or banks doing business in Louisiana were targeted by a similar phone scam.
MidSouth Bank is offering the following advice to its customers:
Phone Scams (vishing) – NEVER provide personal information unless you initiated the call or it is from a trusted source. Do not press options or give out account numbers or debit card numbers to anyone you do not know or did not call. If you have inadvertently provided account information to a caller, contact the bank immediately.
Email Scams (phishing) - NEVER click on links provided in an unfamiliar email or enter account information into an unfamiliar site. Delete unidentified emails from your computer immediately, unless you know the sender. If there is a question on the authenticity of the email, call the sender to verify it. If you have inadvertently provided account information, contact the bank immediately.
Monitor accounts online regularly to confirm all charges and transactions are correct.
Report any suspicious incidents, calls or transactions to us.
Educate family and friends.

Artists who create commissions know one caveat with accepting PayPal: their Seller Protection doesn't cover services, so they can and will be SOL if the buyer decides to dispute the transaction. While Buyer Protection doesn't cover services either, PayPal is notorious for ruling in the favor of the buyer, so the seller needs to look into other ways of protecting themselves.
Which leads to our discussion here, of how we can leverage Seller Protection to ensure scamming buyers can't run off with the money after the service is completed -- by converting your commission service into a tangible product.
Seller Protection covers tangible products that can be shipped to the buyer, and by making a commission, you can take advantage of this by printing out your commission and mailing it to them. Right there, you have a tangible, physical item that is mailed to the buyer, and thus is covered by Seller Protection.
Adjust your commission information and terms of service to indicate the buyer is purchasing a physical, hard copy of a piece of custom-made artwork that will be mailed to them, and that they can also request an additional digital copy at their preference. Request the buyer's address in your commission forms, and when your commission is completed, mail the hard copy to them. The hard copy should have a delivery confirmation ($1.00).
Did You Know? If you're sending something overseas, and you happen to use USPS (United States Postal Service -- NOT UPS), the customs form number also functions as a tracking number. And it's free. Hohoho.
Log your delivery confirmation or customs number in a record file with the customer's information. If any of these obnoxious chargebacks happen, you now have a physical item that was shipped to the buyer as well as a tracking or delivery confirmation number.
Enjoy the Seller Protection.

Perfect server storage cabinet
Comments about Bush® Corsa Collection in Mocha Cherry Finish; 30 Storage Cabinet, Ready to Assemble:
We purchased this to serve as our the cabinet to house all the server and networking gear for our small office. The width was perfect, as was the adjustability of the shelf inside. The existing hole in the back was exactly the right size for our 10 network cables and modem cable. The finish blends well with our existing furniture, and seems durable. Love that it has a lock, since this will sit out in our conference room, and it can thus be secured. Adjustable legs allowed us to level it on the tile floor surface.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Transform everyday objects into heirlooms. The process known as Gilding simply means the application of gold or silver leaf to a surface that has been properly prepared with an adhesive known as 'gold size'.
Gilding terms
Bole - Traditionally, bole is a term that identifies a pigmented clay. This clay acts as the base, or cushion, for the subsequent layer of gold leaf. Classically terre-cotta in color, the clay can be built up quickly, then polished to a very smooth surface.
Contemporary gilding does not use clay, but simulates the effect by adding a colored paint that replicates the clay effect.
Size - General term used to identify the adhesive that attaches the leaf to a surface.
There are different types of size, depending on the form of gilding.
Traditional Water gilding uses a gelatin size. Oil gilding (most common ) uses a oil-based size. Acrylic gilding uses a water based size.
Holiday - A gilders term that refers to an area were the leaf did not initially adhere.
Tack - Refers to the state of the adhesive size. Proper tack for gilding is the point when the size is not longer wet, but not fully dry, hence it is 'tacky' or just slightly sticky.
Skewings - The bits of leaf that are left over after a surface has been completely gilded. Skewings can be saved for other projects, making excellent fillers for patching holidays.

Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as vengefulness, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.[1][2][3] Forgiveness is different from condoning (failing to see the action as wrong and in need of forgiveness), excusing (not holding the offender as responsible for the action), pardoning (granted by a representative of society, such as a judge), forgetting (removing awareness of the offense from consciousness), and reconciliation (restoration of a relationship).[1] In certain contexts, forgiveness is a legal term for absolving or giving up all claims on account of debt, loan, obligation or other claims.[4][5]
As a psychological concept and virtue, the benefits of forgiveness have been explored in religious thought, the social sciences and medicine. Forgiveness may be considered simply in terms of the person who forgives[6] including forgiving themselves, in terms of the person forgiven or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. In most contexts, forgiveness is granted without any expectation of restorative justice, and without any response on the part of the offender (for example, one may forgive a person who is incommunicado or dead). In practical terms, it may be necessary for the offender to offer some form of acknowledgment, an apology, or even just ask for forgiveness, in order for the wronged person to believe himself able to forgive.[1]
Most world religions include teachings on the nature of forgiveness, and many of these teachings provide an underlying basis for many varying modern day traditions and practices of forgiveness. Some religious doctrines or philosophies place greater emphasis on the need for humans to find some sort of divine forgiveness for their own shortcomings, others place greater emphasis on the need for humans to practice forgiveness of one another, yet others make little or no distinction between human and divine forgiveness.
Although there is presently no consensus for a psychological definition of forgiveness in the research literature, agreement has emerged that forgiveness is a process and a number of models describing the process of forgiveness have been published, including one from a radical behavioral perspective.[7]
Dr. Robert Enright from the University of Wisconsin–Madison founded the International Forgiveness Institute and is considered the initiator of forgiveness studies. He developed a 20-Step Process Model of Forgiveness.[8] Recent work has focused on what kind of person is more likely to be forgiving. A longitudinal study showed that people who were generally more neurotic, angry and hostile in life were less likely to forgive another person even after a long time had passed. Specifically, these people were more likely to still avoid their transgressor and want to enact revenge upon them two and a half years after the transgression.[9]
Studies show that people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments.[10] The first study to look at how forgiveness improves physical health discovered that when people think about forgiving an offender it leads to improved functioning in their cardiovascular and nervous systems.[11] Another study at the University of Wisconsin found the more forgiving people were, the less they suffered from a wide range of illnesses. The less forgiving people reported a greater number of health problems.[12]
The research of Dr. Fred Luskin of Stanford University, and author of the book "Learning to forgive"[13] presented evidence that forgiveness can be learned based on research projects into the effects of forgiveness, giving empirical validity to the concept that forgiveness is not only powerful, but also excellent for your health was presented with a Champion of Forgiveness from the Worldwide Forgiveness Alliance on Forgiveness Day (first Sunday of August) for his teaching forgiveness as a life skill.[14]
In three separate studies, including one with Catholics and Protestants from Northern Ireland whose family members were murdered in the political violence, he found that people who are taught how to forgive become less angry, feel less hurt, are more optimistic, become more forgiving in a variety of situations, and become more compassionate and self-confident. His studies show a reduction in experience of stress, physical manifestations of stress, and an increase in vitality.[15]
In Judaism, if a person causes harm, but then sincerely and honestly apologizes to the wronged individual and tries to rectify the wrong, the wronged individual is religiously required to grant forgiveness:
In Judaism, one must go to those he has harmed in order to be entitled to forgiveness.[16] [One who sincerely apologizes three times for a wrong committed against another has fulfilled his or her obligation to seek forgiveness. (Shulchan Aruch) OC 606:1] This means that in Judaism a person cannot obtain forgiveness from God for wrongs the person has done to other people. This also means that, unless the victim forgave the perpetrator before he died, murder is unforgivable in Judaism, and they will answer to God for it, though the victims' family and friends can forgive the murderer for the grief they caused them. The Tefila Zaka meditation, which is recited just before Yom Kippur, closes with the following:
Thus the "reward" for forgiving others is not God's forgiveness for wrongs done to others, but rather help in obtaining forgiveness from the other person.
Sir Jonathan Sacks, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth, summarized: "it is not that God forgives, while human beings do not. To the contrary, we believe that just as only God can forgive sins against God, so only human beings can forgive sins against human beings."[17]
Jews observe a Day of Atonement Yom Kippur on the day before God makes decisions regarding what will happen during the coming year.[16] Just prior to Yom Kippur, Jews will ask forgiveness of those they have wronged during the prior year (if they have not already done so).[16] During Yom Kippur itself, Jews fast and pray for God's forgiveness for the transgressions they have made against God in the prior year.[16] Sincere repentance is required, and once again, God can only forgive one for the sins one has committed against God; this is why it is necessary for Jews also to seek the forgiveness of those people who they have wronged.[16]
In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of the importance of Christians forgiving or showing mercy towards others. Jesus used the parable of the unmerciful servant (Matthew 18:21-35) to say that we should forgive without limits. Parable of the Prodigal Son[18] is perhaps the best known parable about forgiveness and refers to God's forgiveness for his people.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus repeatedly spoke of forgiveness, "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." Matthew 5:7 (NIV) "Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift." Matthew 5:23-24 (NIV) "And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins." Mark 11:25 (NIV)* "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also." Luke 6:27-29 (NIV) "Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful." Luke 6:36 (NIV) "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." Luke 6:37 (NIV)
Elsewhere, it is said, "Then Peter came to Him and said, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?" Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. Matthew 18:21-22 (NKJV)
Jesus asked for God's forgiveness of those who crucified him. "And Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.'" Luke 23: 34 (ESV)
Considering Mark 11:25 above, and Matthew 6:14,15, that follows the Lord's Prayer, "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.," Forgiveness is not an option to a Christian, rather one must Forgive to be a Christian.
Benedict XVI, on a visit to Lebanon in 2012, insisted that peace must be based on mutual forgiveness: "Only forgiveness, given and received, can lay lasting foundations for reconciliation and universal peace"[19]

Islam teaches that Allah is Al-Ghaffur "The Oft-Forgiving", and is the original source of all forgiveness (ghufran غفران). Seeking forgiveness from Allah with repentance is a virtue.[20][21]
(...) Allah forgives what is past: for repetition Allah will exact from him the penalty. For Allah is Exalted, and Lord of Retribution.
Islam recommends forgiveness between believers, because Allah values forgiveness. There are numerous verses in Quran and the Hadiths recommending forgiveness. However, Islam also allows revenge to the extent harm done, but forgiveness between believers is encouraged, with a promise of reward from Allah.[22]
The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.
Afw is another term for forgiveness in Islam; it occurs 35 times in Qur'an, and in some Islamic theological studies, it is used interchangeably with ghufran.[20][21][23] Afw means to pardon, to excuse for a fault or an offense. According to Muhammad Amanullah,[24] forgiveness ('Afw) in Islam is derived from three wisdoms. First and the most important wisdom of forgiveness is that it is merciful when the victim or guardian of the victim accepts money instead of revenge.[25][26] The second wisdom of forgiveness is[24] that it increases honor and prestige of the one who forgives. Forgiveness is not a sign of weakness, humiliation or dishonor.[21] Forgiveness is honor, raises the merit of the forgiver in the eyes of Allah, and enables a forgiver to enter paradise.[24] The third wisdom of forgiveness is that according to some scholars, such as al-Tabari and al-Qurtubi, forgiveness expiates (kaffarah) the forgiver from the sins he or she may have committed at other occasions in life.[21][27] Forgiveness is a form of charity (sadaqat). Forgiveness granted to another believer of Islam comes from taqwa (piety), a quality of God-fearing people.[24]
The Qur'an recommends, whenever possible, it is better to forgive another believer of Islam.[28] Believers should treat other believers with forbearance, tolerance and forgiveness. However, forgiveness is not recommended in the relationship between believers and non-believers.[29] Forgiveness is also not recommended against infidels, apostate, and blasphemous people.[30][31][32] There is a sharp differentiation between forgiveness that is recommended for believers in Islam and for those who convert to Islam, and impossibility of forgiveness for non-believers who refuse to accept Islam, a shirk or anyone who has insulted Islam.[22][33]
Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them nor guide them on the way.
Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya movement, during his address at the European Parliament, whilst discussing international relations, insisted that:
Islam teaches that where retribution is required then it must be proportionate to the act of transgression. However, if forgiveness can lead to reformation, then the option to forgive should be taken. The true overarching objectives should always be reformation, reconciliation and the development of long lasting peace.[34]
Such views of the Ahmadiyya movement do not reflect mainstream Islam views, as Ahmadi Muslims are considered non-Muslims by mainstream Muslims. Ahmadi Muslims are persecuted for their non-mainstream views.[35]
In the Bahá'í Writings, this explanation is given of how to be forgiving towards others:
"Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves. You will never become angry or impatient if you love them for the sake of God. Humanity is not perfect. There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy. Therefore, do not look at the shortcomings of anybody; see with the sight of forgiveness."
— `Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 92
In Buddhism, forgiveness is seen as a practice to prevent harmful thoughts from causing havoc on one's mental well-being.[36] Buddhism recognizes that feelings of hatred and ill-will leave a lasting effect on our mind karma. Instead, Buddhism encourages the cultivation of thoughts that leave a wholesome effect. "In contemplating the law of karma, we realize that it is not a matter of seeking revenge but of practicing mettā and forgiveness, for the victimizer is, truly, the most unfortunate of all.[37] When resentments have already arisen, the Buddhist view is to calmly proceed to release them by going back to their roots. Buddhism centers on release from delusion and suffering through meditation and receiving insight into the nature of reality. Buddhism questions the reality of the passions that make forgiveness necessary as well as the reality of the objects of those passions.[38] "If we haven't forgiven, we keep creating an identity around our pain, and that is what is reborn. That is what suffers."[39]
Buddhism places much emphasis on the concepts of Mettā (loving kindness), karuna (compassion), mudita (sympathetic joy), and upekkhā (equanimity), as a means to avoiding resentments in the first place. These reflections are used to understand the context of suffering in the world, both our own and the suffering of others.
In Vedic literature and epics of Hinduism, Ksama or Kshyama (Sanskrit: क्षमा)[45] and fusion words based on it, describe the concept of forgiveness. The word ksama is often combined with kripa (tenderness), daya (kindness) and karuna (compassion) in Sanskrit texts.[46] In Rg Veda, forgiveness is discussed in verses dedicated to deity Varuna, both the context of the one who has done wrong and one who is wronged.[47][48] Forgiveness is considered one of the six cardinal virtues in Hinduism.
The theological basis for forgiveness in Hinduism is that a person who does not forgive carries a baggage of memories of the wrong, of negative feelings, of anger and unresolved emotions that affect his or her present as well as future. In Hinduism, not only should one forgive others, but one must also seek forgiveness if one has wronged someone else.[46] Forgiveness is to be sought from the individual wronged, as well as society at large, by acts of charity, purification, fasting, rituals and meditative introspection.
The concept of forgiveness is further refined in Hinduism by rhetorically contrasting it in feminine and masculine form. In feminine form, one form of forgiveness is explained through Lakshmi (called Goddess Sri in some parts of India); the other form is explained in the masculine form through her husband Vishnu.[46] Feminine Lakshmi forgives even when the one who does wrong does not repent. Masculine Vishnu, on the other hand, forgives only when the wrong doer repents. In Hinduism, the feminine forgiveness granted without repentance by Laskmi is higher and more noble than the masculine forgiveness granted only after there is repentance. In the Hindu epic Ramayana, Sita - the wife of King Rama - is symbolically eulogized for forgiving a crow even as it harms her. Later in the epic Ramayana, she is eulogized again for forgiving those who harass her while she has been kidnapped in Lanka.[46] Many other Hindu stories discuss forgiveness with or without repentance.[49]
The concept of forgiveness is inconsistently treated in extensive debates of Hindu literature. In some Hindu texts,[50] certain sins and intentional acts are debated as naturally unforgivable; for example, murder and rape; these ancient scholars argue whether blanket forgiveness is morally justifiable in every circumstance, and whether forgiveness encourages crime, disrespect, social disorder and people not taking you seriously.[51] Other ancient Hindu texts highlight that forgiveness is not same as reconciliation.
Forgiveness in Hinduism does not necessarily require that one reconcile with the offender, nor does it rule out reconciliation in some situations. Instead forgiveness in Hindu philosophy is being compassionate, tender, kind and letting go of the harm or hurt caused by someone or something else.[52] Forgiveness is essential for one to free oneself from negative thoughts, and being able to focus on blissfully living a moral and ethical life (dharmic life).[46] In the highest self-realized state, forgiveness becomes essence of one's personality, where the persecuted person remains unaffected, without agitation, without feeling like a victim, free from anger (akrodhi).[53][54]
Other epics and ancient literature of Hinduism discuss forgiveness. For example:
Forgiveness is virtue; forgiveness is sacrifice; forgiveness is the Vedas; forgiveness is the Shruti.
Forgiveness protecteth the ascetic merit of the future; forgiveness is asceticism; forgiveness is holiness; and by forgiveness is it that the universe is held together.—Mahabharata, Book 3, Vana Parva, Section XXIX, [55]
Righteousness is the one highest good, forgiveness is the one supreme peace, knowledge is one supreme contentment, and benevolence, one sole happiness.
—Mahabharata, Book 5, Udyoga Parva, Section XXXIII, [56]
Janak asked: Oh lord, how does one attain wisdom? how does liberation happen?
Ashtavakra replied: Oh beloved, if you want liberation, then renounce imagined passions as poison, take forgiveness, innocence, compassion, contentment and truth as nectar; (...)
In Jainism, forgiveness is one of the main virtues that needs to be cultivated by the Jains. Kṣamāpanā or supreme forgiveness forms part of one of the ten characteristics of dharma.[59] In the Jain prayer, (pratikramana) Jains repeatedly seek forgiveness from various creatures—even from ekindriyas or single sensed beings like plants and microorganisms that they may have harmed while eating and doing routine activities.[60] Forgiveness is asked by uttering the phrase, Micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ. Micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ is a Prakrit language phrase literally meaning "may all the evil that has been done be fruitless."[61] During samvatsari—the last day of Jain festival paryusana—Jains utter the phrase Micchami Dukkadam after pratikraman. As a matter of ritual, they personally greet their friends and relatives micchāmi dukkaḍaṃ seeking their forgiveness. No private quarrel or dispute may be carried beyond samvatsari, and letters and telephone calls are made to the outstation friends and relatives asking their forgiveness.[62]
Pratikraman also contains the following prayer:[63]
Khāmemi savva-jīve savvë jive khamantu me /
metti me savva-bhūesu, veraṃ mejjha na keṇavi //
(I ask pardon of all creatures, may all creatures pardon me.
May I have friendship with all beings and enmity with none.)
In their daily prayers and samayika, Jains recite Iryavahi sutra seeking forgiveness from all creatures while involved in routine activities:[64]
May you, O Revered One! Voluntarily permit me. I would like to confess my sinful acts committed while walking. I honour your permission. I desire to absolve myself of the sinful acts by confessing them. I seek forgiveness from all those living beings which I may have tortured while walking, coming and going, treading on living organism, seeds, green grass, dew drops, ant hills, moss, live water, live earth, spider web and others. I seek forgiveness from all these living beings, be they — one sensed, two sensed, three sensed, four sensed or five sensed. Which I may have kicked, covered with dust, rubbed with ground, collided with other, turned upside down, tormented, frightened, shifted from one place to another or killed and deprived them of their lives. (By confessing) may I be absolved of all these sins.
Jain texts quote Māhavīra on forgiveness:[65]
By practicing prāyaṣcitta (repentance), a soul gets rid of sins, and commits no transgressions; he who correctly practises prāyaṣcitta gains the road and the reward of the road, he wins the reward of good conduct. By begging forgiveness he obtains happiness of mind; thereby he acquires a kind disposition towards all kinds of living beings; by this kind disposition he obtains purity of character and freedom from fear.
— Māhavīra in Uttarādhyayana Sūtra 29:17–18
Even the code of conduct amongst the monks requires the monks to ask forgiveness for all transgressions:[66]
If among monks or nuns occurs a quarrel or dispute or dissension, the young monk should ask forgiveness of the superior, and the superior of the young monk. They should forgive and ask forgiveness, appease and be appeased, and converse without restraint. For him who is appeased, there will be success (in control); for him who is not appeased, there will be no success; therefore one should appease one's self. 'Why has this been said, Sir? Peace is the essence of monasticism'.
— Kalpa Sūtra 8:59
Hoʻoponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness, combined with prayer. Similar forgiveness practices were performed on islands throughout the South Pacific, including Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand. Traditionally Hoʻoponopono is practiced by healing priests or kahuna lapaʻau among family members of a person who is physically ill. Modern versions are performed within the family by a family elder, or by the individual alone.
The need to forgive is widely recognized by the public, but they are often at a loss for ways to accomplish it. For example, in a large representative sampling of American people on various religious topics in 1988, the Gallup Organization found that 94% said it was important to forgive, but 85% said they needed some outside help to be able to forgive. However, not even regular prayer was found to be effective.
Akin to forgiveness is mercy, so even if a person is not able to complete the forgiveness process he or she can still show mercy, especially when so many wrongs are done out of weakness rather than malice. The Gallup poll revealed that the only thing that was effective was "meditative prayer".[67]
Forgiveness as a tool has been extensively used in restorative justice programs, after the abolition of apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission (South Africa), run for victims and perpetrators of Rwandan genocide, the violence in Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and Northern Ireland conflict, which has also been documented in film, Beyond Right and Wrong: Stories of Justice and Forgiveness (2012).[68][69]

Give George Bush a little time. Only nine months have passed, reorganization is planned, and the $63 million for lobbying will not go unnoticed. It would have paid for lots of security. The money we paid after 9/11 was to keep the country from falling on its face. Let's have faith and look at the new plans with enthusiasm as a united America.

The other George... he replaced the now-defunct Wack-o: I received a copy of Peter Kerr-Jarrett's well-written and -researched May 23 article on the Wackenhut Corp., "A Family Affair." He missed a major event in the history of the company.
About 30 years ago, the corporation was indicted in New York City by the district attorney on various counts. During that time period, George Wackenhut did not travel to that city. I was the only officer of the corporation outside of Florida and thus stood before the "bar of justice" in place of George. I have a most interesting story and even held George up in planning a secondary offering of his stock in that time period.

Cox suckers..?! Clever, Alan, real clever: Rebecca Wakefield's May 16 story, "The Battle for Bach," is really about the battle for money. Classical music radio simply does not make it. Nor does local-issues talk. It's too expensive to produce. WLRN-FM (93.1) should not be bullied by people who did not support WTMI-FM (93.1). However, on Easter and Christmas, broadcasting Handel's Messiah would not hurt. As for WPYM-FM (Party 93), even I listen while changing audiobook tapes. The only thing I truly resent about the change is that at the time of changeover, WPYM broadcast "Shut the fuck up and dance... hey yo! Shut the fuck up and dance." Was this a slap in the face to WTMI fans? Cox Radio is sucking up to a younger generation. That's where the money is. Perhaps that makes Cox Radio "Cox suckers!"

Charlie Webster - England can learn from German model
Published: 15 Oct 2010 - 09:16:51
After watching England's display against Montenegro I decided to have a read of all the criticisms and opinions on the 0-0 draw. Half of the media blamed the players and the other half had it in for the manager, Fabio Capello.
He 'should be making a difference' we all say. Well, I was pretty uninspired as I'm sure you all were too, but the one thing I noticed and have been harping on about since South Africa is as a unit we, England, lack chemistry.
Why? Well, if you watched the England Under-21 side cement their place in next year's European Championships then you would have seen that there was a distinct difference. There was clear character and spirit that flowed through the whole team.
For what my two pennys are worth I think that is the problem with the senior squad. But why do the two differ? I started to question whether there is a natural progression of development through the under-21s as a team to the senior England squad. Well, there isn't really, and surely that's the problem?
That lack of continuity as a team, from the junior ranks to first XI, may go a long way to answering a lot of England's problems.
Take Germany for example. Jurgen Klinsmann introduced one coaching method, insisted on the same style of play and formation throughout their international teams from Under-17s onwards. It was no coincidence; Germany sat down and planned the next generation, putting a young team together to progress.
Five members of the under-21 side that beat England 4-0 in the European final side last year featured as key players in the Germany senior squad in South Africa. I think that is exactly what England should be doing.
Maybe what we should be looking at is all England squads being run as one entity just like in Germany. A nation together that adopts the same school of thought throughout. Surely if the England manager played a bigger part in what's happening within the youth systems, this would see more players make the step up to the senior team?
The first team would not be a massive jump with entirely different tactics, keeping it the same is key - the young players know what to expect and becoming a member of the senior squad is just part of progression.
Jack Wilshere is a great example. I think it was essential that he played 90 minutes for the under-21s Wilshere should be getting games under his belt, and the first team manager - whether it's Capello or not - should be blooding the likes of him through the youth system, not rushing them through.
I know that Fabio Capello has started to work more closely with Stuart Pearce and they do talk a lot, so I'm led to believe! Hopefully this is a sign of changing times and that England can, without being clichéd, do a Germany.
But maybe the question is, if this new collective England philosophy is implemented and ingrained throughout the youth system, will it improve our style? Is the play Capello injects into England the right one for the players and the fans?
In fact, is this the style that is going to work and bring success? A system that promotes slower European football which defends from deep and lacks creativity. Should we not be looking at a system that brings Premier League-style play with a fast tempo back into our international game?
It's the style that the players are already used to, the style that the fans love to see, and the style that makes the Premier League the most-watched league in the world. I know what I'd prefer to see!

Activist encourages graduates to 'soar and be free'
Declaring her belief in their individual and combined power, renowned civil rights activist and author Myrlie Evers-Williams challenged University of Mississippi graduating seniors to become active in making the state, nation and world a better place for all people.
"I believe in you, and I hope you believe in yourselves, too," Evers-Williams said Saturday (May 11) as she delivered the main address at the university's 160th Commencement. "Soar! Not only for yourselves, nor just for the betterment of Mississippi, but for betterment of all mankind. Soar, and be free."
Evers-Williams, who worked for more than 30 years to seek justice for the 1963 murder of her well-known civil rights activist husband, Medgar Evers, is a former chairwoman of the NAACP and is widely credited with restoring the organization's reputation and saving it from bankruptcy. Most recently, she delivered the invocation at the second inauguration of President Barack Obama, becoming the first woman to deliver a prayer at a presidential inauguration.

Parry pleased to be at Preston
The Welshman, 29, who joined North End this summer from Cardiff in a £250,000 deal, scored in Tuesday night's 3-0 win against Barnsley and feels Deepdale is the place to be. "When I came to Preston I needed a fresh start, I needed to start enjoying my football again which I think I have done so far," he told the Lancashire Evening Post. Parry feels he has a lot to offer the Lancashire club, and added: "I aim to score more goals than I did last season, aim to have a better season than I did last season personally, and hopefully Preston will go one better than they did last year."

This is a discussion on Do you trust OTHER people W/ guns? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by goawayfarm I trust people that own firearms....BUT I DON'T TRUST PEOPLES GUN HANDLING! +1...
I can and do in several different ways.Do you trust other people W/ guns?
How would you feel if the entire country did away W/ permits and just allowed Vermont carry? Would you feel more or less safe?
If the entire country did away with permits and allowed them to carry just because of the Second Amendment, I would feel exactly as safe as I do now.
I would rather stand against the cannons of the wicked than against the prayers of the righteous.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Fortune favors the bold.
Freedom doesn't mean safe, it means free.
The thing about "defense" is that it has practically nothing to do with guns. (As passed on by CCW9MM)
If someone wants to carry now, they do (in most states)...unless they are felons or have mental illness restrictions.
So I do not see alot more'people carrying concealed if we went like VT.
And you point it out yourself....if they really want to do so, they'll break the law to do it anyway. No way of stopping that.

As my mom used to tell me as a kid; "I'm from the show me state... Don't tell me what you can do. Show me."
Until proven otherwise I as a default assume as related to myself and my own well being in the physical that _everyone_ regardless of implied skill level be they a; LEO, IDPA shooter of equal or higher grade than me, or they claim to have been huntin' and shootin' since they were single digit age (almost always the worst ones for safety practices!).
When it comes to firearms you get many chances to get it wrong, and just one chance to get it right.

"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. " - Robert A. Levy
"A license to carry a concealed weapon does not make you a free-lance policeman." - Florida Div. of Licensing
Honestly I did not used to feel this way, not even a few years ago.
But right now today as I sit typing this my gut and un-emotional left brain both concur with your view.
We already have morons running around with guns on their person well within the letter of the law. And some times but not always as a rule they screw up.
As well we have very many sane and sensible people who have right in their state to carry without even requiring a permit/license at all and yet they choose to not do so for personal reasons and there is no rampant issue of gun crime and moron maneuvering among those areas (NH, AK, VT etc).
Also as noted by others practically anybody can get a drivers license as long as they are able to draw breath and be of an age greater than 15 minimum.
Same goes for persons to bear and 'raise' (influence) children.
Far more challenging and wrought with potential danger than any mechanical device held at hand.
It's taken me some time to get there and as by a winding road of life, learning and un-emotional clarity of view.
But I now agree with you, 100%.
- Janq
P.S. - Criminals and persons who will act criminally by specific purposeful choice do, have and will always have access to arms regardless of any law by letter or spirit.
Proof of this dates back to our countries founding fathers and their choice to rise up and defy as well as disobey their then English king.
Revolutionaries to some, guerrillas to others and rabblerousers in general. They all though as by proclamation of the king and by that then law of the land were criminals by acts and view.
Which might make one think, and re-think.
"Killers who are not deterred by laws against murder are not going to be deterred by laws against guns. " - Robert A. Levy
"A license to carry a concealed weapon does not make you a free-lance policeman." - Florida Div. of Licensing
No, I don't.
Then again, to everyone else, I am one of those other people.
So, I guess the only option is to trust. Given the statistics, people are generally trustworthy with firearms.

The above sum it up, IMHO.
My way of saying it:
Trust every one? No.
I accept the risk because the alternative are .
There are plenty of post-proof-of-being-too-risky laws (felons can't have [in theory] guns type laws). No need for any more prior-restraint on the 2A, than there is for prior-restraint on 1A, to keep the press from getting it wrong.
OTOH, this thread plays into the hands of the Antis (and they monitor this and other forums) for as OD* said it helps

I'm just one root in a grassroots organization. No one should assume that I speak for the VCDL.
I am neither an attorney-at-law nor I do play one on television or on the internet. No one should assumes my opinion is legal advice.
Veni, Vidi, Velcro
I don't trust anybody and everybody. No, I don't. I suspect no one else does without some additional knowledge of their character or mental stability.
Would anyone here trust a habitual wife beater, or child molester? What about a person who had been in and out of various mental type rehabs? What about a person who had a history of criminal activities, and especially violent actions?
Not me.
I would not trust workmen at my home carrying unless I knew something about them.
But, yes I would and do trust folks to carry at gunshows if they have the proper license.
Who said that? I didn't say a darn thing about taking anything from anybody, fella.
Anyway, I don't really give a hoot who trusts me. I've earned it from those whom trust me, and vice versa. I am not a "Trust but verify" fella, unless you're talking nukes. :)
OD's right.
"He went on two legs, wore clothes and was a human being, but nevertheless he was in reality a wolf of the Steppes. He had learned a good deal . . . and was a fairly clever fellow. What he had not learned, however, was this: to find contentment in himself and his own life. The cause of this apparently was that at the bottom of his heart he knew all the time (or thought he knew) that he was in reality not a man, but a wolf of the Steppes."
Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winnerOriginally posted by SIXTO Then again, to everyone else, I am one of those other people.
I had some doubts and still do as I expressed those views with the Wyoming debate. It's been pointed out though and I must see the logic in some responses that trust is a earned value in this society and while everyone who earns the right either by permit or law can carry a gun, do I have to trust them no, will I respect their right to carry one, heck yah, I spent 20 years defending their rights to do just that.
"I dislike death, however, there are some things I dislike more than death. Therefore, there are times when I will not avoid danger" Mencius"
I don't trust anyone who has a gun with no training. I also don't trust the mall ninja types and the false sense of security and confidence that I truly believe will one day get themselves or an innocent person killed.
I only read the OP and didn't bother reading all the replys. For me, it's very simple.
I don't trust anyone with anything. If someone wants my trust or if I decide to give it, it has to be earned. For me, trust and respect kinda go hand in hand. I don't offer either of them easily. If someone is worth it and proves it so, they'll get it in spades. I've been burned and have seen MANY others burned by trusting someone and getting it shoved right down their throats. In some cases, literally.
No thanks. I treat everyone equally. No one gets a free ride.
Great quote... "Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
It's as simple and as difficult as that really.
"You've never lived until you've almost died. For those who fight for it, life has a flavor the protected will never know" - T.R.

The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) Classifier, a naïve Bayesian classifier, can rapidly and accurately classify bacterial 16S rRNA sequences into the new higher-order taxonomy proposed in Bergey's Taxonomic Outline of the Prokaryotes (2nd ed., release 5.0, Springer-Verlag, New York, NY, 2004). It provides taxonomic assignments from domain to genus, with confidence estimates for each assignment. The majority of classifications (98%) were of high estimated confidence (> or = 95%) and high accuracy (98%). In addition to being tested with the corpus of 5,014 type strain sequences from Bergey's outline, the RDP Classifier was tested with a corpus of 23,095 rRNA sequences as assigned by the NCBI into their alternative higher-order taxonomy. The results from leave-one-out testing on both corpora show that the overall accuracies at all levels of confidence for near-full-length and 400-base segments were 89% or above down to the genus level, and the majority of the classification errors appear to be due to anomalies in the current taxonomies. For shorter rRNA segments, such as those that might be generated by pyrosequencing, the error rate varied greatly over the length of the 16S rRNA gene, with segments around the V2 and V4 variable regions giving the lowest error rates. The RDP Classifier is suitable both for the analysis of single rRNA sequences and for the analysis of libraries of thousands of sequences. Another related tool, RDP Library Compare, was developed to facilitate microbial-community comparison based on 16S rRNA gene sequence libraries. It combines the RDP Classifier with a statistical test to flag taxa differentially represented between samples. The RDP Classifier and RDP Library Compare are available online at http://rdp.cme.msu.edu/.

UN Human Rights Council adopts landmark resolution on online freedom of expression
United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva adopted on Thursday for the first time ever a resolution on human rights and the internet.
Sweden, Brazil, Nigeria, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States are the initiative takers behind the resolution. The resolution was presented with the additional support of more than 80 states and was adopted by consensus.
The resolution affirms that the right to freedom of expression established in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights also applies on the internet. The right to freedom of expression that applies 'offline' must apply to equally 'online'.
The resolution also affirms the importance of the internet to global development and all states are urged to promote access to the internet, both to infrastructure and content.
"I am very pleased that the Council has taken this important decision today. The role of the internet in promoting freedom of expression and global development cannot be overstated and we will act to ensure that today's decision will have also have an impact on other international processes," says Minister for Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt.
The resolution adopted today by the 47 states of the Council is part of Sweden's long-term efforts to secure that fundamental human rights also apply on the internet. In February, Mr Bildt took part in a panel discussion on online freedom of expression in the UN Human Rights Council and Sweden has previously taken the initiative for statements on online freedom of expression in the Council that have received broad support from states all around the world.
