New GM. New CEO. New starting QB. Same old tired result.
A week of upheaval at Investors Group Field came to a very familiar conclusion Friday night as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers were beaten for the fifth game in a row — and sixth time in their first seven games — 37-18 by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
If the hope in jettisoning former CEO Garth Buchko and GM Joe Mack last week was to light a spark and give this team a fresh start coming out of the bye week, the plan clearly failed its first big test as the Bombers quickly fell behind 10-0 in the first quarter and never really did threaten all night long.
The loss dropped the Bombers record to 1-6 — while division rival Hamilton improved to 3-4 with their second road win in a row — and leaves Winnipeg in even more desperate circumstances as they now head out on the road for their next two games, next Saturday in Guelph against Hamilton and then Labour Day Sunday in Regina against the high-flying Roughriders.
The Bombers' quarterbacking situation has become like Maritime weather — if you don't like it, just wait a couple of minutes and it will change.
Winnipeg fans got to see all three of the club's quarterbacks Friday night. CFL rookie Max Hall got the start and had a respectable first half, going 10-12 for 129 yards and throwing for a TD that capped an impressive 103-yard second quarter drive.
But Hall also fumbled in the second quarter and threw a pair of second half interceptions and had to make way for backup Buck Pierce midway through the third quarter after he got planted by a Hamilton defender and was shaken up. Pierce got to play for a couple series — he went 2-2 for 9 yards — before Hall returned at the end of the third quarter and went on to finish the game. His final numbers — 18-30 for 241 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTS.
Toss in a couple of cameo appearances with the wildcat package for third stringer — and former first stringer — Justin Goltz and Winnipeg literally threw everything they had at the Ticats.
A remarkable crowd of 32,409 — about 1,000 short of a sellout — turned out for the first game since the club gave the gas to their former CEO and GM.
The turnout was the second biggest crowd of the season and, given the woeful state of the team's record, had to be seen at least in part as a vote by the fan faithful in favour of the club's recent front-office moves.
Alas, by night's end the final result was the same as it's always been at Investors Group Field, where the Bombers are still winless after four games in their shiny new $200 million football palace.
If everyone had played as gritty and as effectively as the veteran Bombers slotback, the Bombers would have run away with this one.
Despite being shaken up in the first half and missing a couple of series, Edwards still led all Bombers receivers with eight catches for 172 yards and was Hall's go-to receiver anytime the Bombers found themselves in second and long — which was often, as usual.

The Holy Grail of snare drums.
What if each drum in your drum set was engineered as an instrument unto itself? Each tom designed to respond perfectly within the confines of its respective frequency without compromise over any other area of your kit. This is the mission behind Reference Series drums. A complete set of individually engineered, incredible sounding drums.
In 1999, Pearl began its most ambitious undertaking, The Masterworks Series, the world's first truly custom drums. Designed for the player by the player. Every aspect of the manufacturing process was custom made, from the number of wood plies, to the wood selection, to the final finish. Over the last five years, through arduous listening tests, Masterworks taught Pearl drum makers a great deal about drums and what makes the perfect shell. So forget what you think you know about drums and take a close look at Reference Series, the most acoustically advanced drums in the world. To fully understand the Reference Series you must understand that the desired tonal characteristics of a 10" tom are completely different than that of a 22" bass drum. Thus to use the same material in both drums would result in a compromise.
Reference Series drums use a combination of task-specific bearing edges and three time-proven woods: birch, maple, and African mahogany. Using maple as a sole material has long been the traditional choice for shells and for good reason. Maple provides smooth, well-balanced tone that is perfect for a 12" tom.
Subsequently, all Reference Series 12" toms are composed of six plies of maple; this is the only single wood shell in the series. Pearl's 10" and 8" toms receive four plies of maple with two inner plies of birch for cut and attack. And for maximum response, all 13" diameter and smaller toms have a rounded 45° bearing edge, and a more focused area for head-to-shell contact to boost mid- to higher-range frequencies.
Each snare drum shell is composed of a blend of woods totaling an incredible 20 plies. This extra thick shell ensures that no energy is lost through shell vibration and all energy is focused on moving sound waves. The shell's bearing edge is 45° to promote a focused contact area with the head for response and crack. Six inner plies of birch provide cut and attack while the outer 14 plies of maple provide warmth and solid midrange punch.
Reference Series snare drums are available in three different shell sizes: 14"x 5", 14"x 6-1/2" and 13" x 6-1/2" to suit individual preferences and tastes. The heart and soul of your kit is your snare drum and Pearl's Reference Series snare drums shine through loud and clear. Simply amazing volume.
The snare tension knob features a locking mechanism to maintain snare tension at all times. Simply depress the button and turn the knob simultaneously. The strainer lever features a Positive Lock system that, while in the "on" position, removes the possibility of accidentally turning the snares off without depressing a button on the lever.
With Reference Series, it's not about compromise; it's about every drum in your kit performing at its optimal capacity.
The volume and response will amaze you. Order today!

Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
I own several top line snares but always wanted a Pearl reference snare. I bought a 5x14 in Granite Sparkle. First I couldn't believe how heavy it was. The finish was beautiful and the drum was well made. It simply has a crack that most other drums can't compete with. It has a rich full tone and is extremely loud. I would not reccomend it for a quiet setting. It has a super crisp response and no ring to it at all. Overall if you can afford this drum then I would reccomend it without hesitation.
Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
I special ordered the 14x6.5 reference snare in piano black and it took six months for me to get it. First this thing weighs 19 lbs and looks like a tree trunk. I was surprised how thick each individual ply is. I am not sure I like the throw off. To turn off the snare you have to press a button at the end of the handle and the adjustment knob is on the other side, which you also have to press in order to turn it. I found it hard to feel how tight the snares are using it. The snare bed is also shaved down on both sides. I wish Pearl would come up with a new throw off that didn't need to have the bead destroyed. All of the hardware is heavy duty and there is nothing cheap about it. The finish is good but it has very fine swirl makes if you look at it in the light. My Tama Starclassic maple's black finish is flawless so I was a little disappointed in the finish on the reference snare. As far as the sound, when it was tuned low it didn't sound that great to me, but when I cranked up the skins the sound really came alive. It has the loudest crack I have ever heard. Its so loud that I have found that it fatigues my hearing and I am not even hitting it very hard. It would probably work well outdoors but inside it kind of over powers my thin shell set. I feel the snare is pricey even though I got a good deal on it. At this price point I might have considered getting a DW collector snare instead.
Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
Pearl is the firt drum kit i have ever played on and I loved it from the start. I just bought my new 14" x 6.5" wood Reference Series snare drum not to long ago and I love it, but... its very loud. It has a great wood sound with the clearity of a metal snare. When tuned high it has a nice crack to it but it can have a killer loud low tone also. I say its a great snare but the price is a little over rated!
Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
These snares are incredible. Yes, they are expensive. Yes, they are loud. But what others have failed to mention is the unbelievable dynamic range of this snare. I have a 13x6.5 wood and am buying a 14x6.5 steel. The 13x6.5 wood snare has become my primary snare for playing live. The 13" has a small 'sweet spot' so you had better be an accurate player or you should go with the 14". For cross-sticking hits, the 13" has an incredibly small 'sweet spot'. This is the ONLY thing I don't like about this snare. I like a 13" so I can have my legs closer together. The 13" is a CANNON...the 14" is a larger cannon with a slightly lower tuning range. I tend to tune fairly high anyway so the 13" works for me. The hardware cannot be beat. The locking throw-off is simple and very effective. The locking snare tension adjustment knob is equally effective. What really had me scratching my head was the unreal sensitivity of this snare. I think this is a function of the decreased inner volume of the shell due to its thickness. Whatever...it works. You don't need to hit this snare hard to get your point across...but when you REALLY want to be heard, well, I hope you are wearing hearing protection. Cheers!
Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
I will use one word to desrcibe this snare drum and that word is LOUD! For rock and pop stuff this is the best wood snare around. If your playing 900 capacity venues and up this is the wood snare for you. If you are playing smaller rooms then you better have some good technique otherwise everyone will be complaining about how loud your snare is. Overall the snare has an amazing warm wood tone and when tuned high it cracks well. Perfect snare for rock music and big rooms.
Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
This snare sounds really awesome! This is a very good snare it isn't a must have. Yeah, this is a good snare but you can buy something cheaper that sounds just as good. I play a Joey Jordison signature and it sounds just as good with a cheaper price.
Comments about Pearl Reference Snare Drum:
I bought this drum because I got a GREAT DEAL. but after I took it home, cleaned it up and tuned it up. I was so surprised of what I just got.(not need to change heads) I'm a snare drums collector, have assorted brands and I own a few DWs and a tama warlord w/are my favorites, but this drum sounds so perfect when recorded, is so versatile that you can use it on anny style. The hardware is so cool. That I'm thinking about getting also a reference set.

The State Board of Education has adopted Ohio's New Learning Standards in Mathematics. The Kindergarten - Grade 12 standards will be in full use in Ohio classrooms by 2014-2015, when tests matched to the standards are in place.
These mathematics model curricula were written by Ohio educators to support the implementation of Ohio's New Learning Standards in Mathematics. In March 2011 the State Board of Education adopted model curricula to match the standards. This document will grow and change over time.
In October 2013, Career Connections strategies were added to the teaching strategies in the model curricula.
These documents provide guidance for calculator usage on Ohio's State Mathematics Tests for the 2014 – 2015 school year. This guidance applies to the level of the test and not the grade level of the student taking the test. For example, a middle school student taking an Algebra I or Geometry test is permitted to use the allowable calculator for high school for each of these tests.

I'm glad the Economist can express joy at a religious celebration. Progressives claim the US Constitution bans any such religious display and there are groups who find any such discussion offensive.
Do you know Arthur Honegger? A Swiss-French composer, 1892-1955. I visited his grave, in Paris.
He died when he was only 63 years old (a critical age, nine cycles of seven years). When he was seriously ill, two years before he died, he composed Une cantate de Noël (A Christmas Cantata). I like it very much, especially the Laudate Dominum, which I find of an extraordinary beauty, generosity and enthusiasm (from Greek enthousiasmos "divine inspiration", from enthousiazein "be inspired or possessed by a god, be rapt, be in ecstasy,", from entheos, "divinely inspired, possessed by a god," from en. "in" and theos "god").
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hD47U5PYRB4 At 0:33. The Laudate Dominum.
The whole cantata, Göttinger Symphonie-Orchester conducted by Gerd Eberhardt, but the 'sound track' is not very good,
It's obviously the perfect time to listen to it. "There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:" (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
"a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance" (3:4).
Enjoy it.
Honegger was a multifaceted composer, as his 'Pacific 231' and other works of his show, but this cantata, partly composed in 1940 and finally composed again in 1952-53, when he was very ill and was going to die... is unique.
If I am not here tomorrow... Happy New Year!

- person in the U.S. has this name View Katherine Trest on WhitePages
Meaning & Origins
English form of the name of a saint martyred at Alexandria in 307. The story has it that she was condemned to be broken on the wheel for her Christian belief. However, the wheel miraculously fell apart, and so she was beheaded instead. There were many elaborations on this story, which was one of the most popular in early Christian mythology, and she has been the object of a vast popular cult. The earliest sources that mention her are in Greek and give the name in the form Aikaterinē. The name is of unknown etymology; the suggestion that it may be derived from Hēcatē, the pagan goddess of magic and enchantment, is not convincing. From an early date, it was associated with the Greek adjective katharos 'pure'. This led to spellings with -th- and to a change in the middle vowel (see Katharine). Several later saints also bore the name, including the mystic St Katherine of Siena (1347–80) who both led a contemplative life and played a role in the affairs of state of her day. Katherine is also a royal name: in England it was borne by the formidable and popular Katherine of Aragon (1485–1536), the first wife of Henry VIII, as well as by the wives of Henry V and Charles II.

Jennifer Piscopo on "Do Women Change Politics?"
The Politics Department invites the college community to attend a talk by Politics Search Candidate Professor Jennifer Piscopo of Salem College.
Does increasing women's legislative representation lead to policy responsiveness in the area of gender equality? Women comprise over 30 percent of the legislature in both Argentina and Mexico, but Argentina has passed more significant and more radical gender equality reforms. Using an original, large-n dataset and over 70 field interviews, I argue that legislative institutions, namely committee and caucus systems, condition female politicians' policy success. Paradoxically, when women's caucuses are strong, as in Mexico, the resultant policies are less assertive about women's legal and social equality. Argentina's weaker institutions actually allow female politicians to advocate for stronger equality reforms.

Catherine Ambler Economics Talk
The Economics Department invites the college community to attend a talk by Economics search candidate Catherine Ambler of the University of Michigan. Her talk is entitled "Don't Tell on Me: Experimental Evidence of Asymmetric Information in Transnational Households."
Although most theoretical models of household decision making assume perfect information, empirical studies suggest that information asymmetries can have large impacts on resource allocation. In this study, I demonstrate the importance of these asymmetries in transnational households, where physical distance between family members can make information barriers especially acute. I implement an experiment among 1,300 Salvadoran migrants in Washington, DC and their family members in El Salvador that examines how (1) changing the ability of participants to observe each other and (2) revealing migrant preferences can affect the sending and spending of remittances. Migrants make an incentivized decision over how much of a cash windfall to keep and how much to send home, and recipients decide how to allocate the spending of a remittance. Migrants remit significantly more when their choice is observed by recipients, and this effect is concentrated among pairs where recipient ability to punish migrants is plausibly high. The results support a model of remittance sending where migrants react strategically to being monitored, but only when recipients can enforce remittance agreements. Recipients make spending choices closer to the migrants' preferences when they are revealed, suggesting that recipients' choices may be inadvertently affected by imperfect information on migrant preferences. Together, these results indicate that information imperfections in families are varied and can affect resource allocation in both strategic and inadvertent ways.

NEW YORK (AP) - Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy is paying tribute at the International Emmy Awards to television legends Norman Lear and Alan Alda, whose socially-conscious shows in the '70s changed the face of television.
Murphy presented the "All in the Family" creator and "MASH" star with the 40th Anniversary Special Founders Award at Monday night's gala at the Hilton New York Hotel. The organizers marked the milestone anniversary by honoring a producer and performer with shows that were on TV in 1972 when the International Emmys began.
Argentina's "Television x la Inclusion" became the first series to receive International Emmys in both acting categories when Dario Grandinetti and Cristina Banegas both won.
Brazil and Britain also won two Emmys; Australia, France and Germany had one apiece.

roomy, well-made; a bonded-type leather
By cys
from SC
a great design. i was expecting an oiled leather but this was a bonded type leather. i had to return it. it was a good size bag and would hold a lot. it also has a shoulder strap (removable) to help when you are loaded-down at an airport. it opens all the way so it would be excellent for packing. that is an advantage. a super item but just not an oiled leather. if this is a gift then you will be proud to give it due to the professional boxing and shipping of this bag.

Dreadful disappointment
By BA
from MA
*Cheap quality*"Leather" worn away with first use*Holds very little*Side pockets are a waste; if you use them, you have to reduce the amount of what you put inside, because it won't close to zip.*Doesn't fit as a carry on unless you really squash it.

I was highly disappointed with this product.The leather looks like vinyl, the bag is too small and for the price point I was thoroughly underwhelmed.

Be nice if I could lock it
By Rick the Locksmith
from Wash DC
Easy to pack with the wide mouth and seems well laid out with the interior pockets but... where are the holes in the zipper tabs to slip a little padlock thru? It may seem pointless on a bag that you can easily slice with a razor but it would reassure me a little when I was heading to the bathroom on a plane that someone would have to put in at least SOME effort to open the bag.

A good quality bag for a good price.
By BDL
from Dunkirk, NY
I have purchased this bag for my husband as we take frequent weekend trips. He has worn through a number of canvas bags so we purchased this one hoping it would last longer than the canvas ones. It looks a lot nicer, too.

text: Ok gents, I have a problem and I need some help. I recently bought a GWS R-6NII 6 channel receiver from the Robot Market place. I specified a Futaba negative shift 75 mhz FM requirement with a xtal on channel 78. I received a new in the box FM receiver labeled with two stickers (75 mhz band, and F for futaba) and a UM-1 xtal that says channel 78 75.750. Using my Futaba 8UAF, which has been verified as being set properly on PPMand channel 78, I do not get any response on the receiver. I can plug a known good servo into any of the channels and a freshly charged receiver battery into it and the servo will twitch indicating it has power, but when I move a stick or knob, ther is no movement. I have talked with other people who have had no problems with this combo or similar combor of transmitter and receiver, but nobody can say why mine isn't working. I get blank stares, and a it should work. Could the xtal be bad?

My Paris Journey
We're moving to Paris… tomorrow!
Yup, that's right, we're packing up shop and moving over to the land of …. and of chocolate macaroons! Actually, rather, we've already packed up shop – over three weeks ago. The stuff is slowly plodding it's way across the Atlantic (just off the coast of Newfoundland as of tonight).
Moving into the apartment in 40 seconds
Last week, we showed you our final apartment selection with the House Hunters style series. However, getting all of our stuff into our apartment was probably even more fun.
Going to the farm and picking fresh produce!
One of the things we both really enjoy doing is going to u-pick farms and picking our own fruits and vegetables. In the past, we've primarily picked apples, blueberries, and strawberries. Given it's fall (crazy, huh?), we figured it was time to go out and pick some apples.
The Beaches (Paris Plages)
Let's make this clear up front – Paris is nowhere near a beach. The closest oceanesque body of water with sand is roughly 200 kilometers away – and the water there isn't terribly warm either (the nice stuff is down south). So what do the Parisians do in the hot summer months (aside from close up shop and leave)? They truck in a boatload of sand and setup a beach right in the heart of Paris on the Seine.
My Paris Swim/Bike/Run Resources
Are you coming to Paris? Looking for places to swim, bike and run? Or just simply want to see where I swim/bike/run? Well, here's the skinny on all my favorite training locations – complete with maps and downloadable routes.

Motes and beams, I just don't get it. Conditions in some countries are so rotten that a significant portion of their citizens would face possible death and imprisonment to live in the US rather than stay in the country of their birth, but it is the US that has to face the critisism on this matter. Believe me, these migrants contributed mightily to the rotten conditions back home, even if it was by omission. We have just seen in the Arab world what is possible if the citizens of a country manage to find their collective spine, even if they manage to stuff it up afterwards.
I agree. I think immigration contributes to the continued and worsening lopsided development of the world. When we suck away all the best brains and able bodies from 3rd world countries, the only ones left are the poor, sick, old, weak, corrupt and criminally inclined. Just look at Mexico, no one's left to fight the drug cartels, or India, no good people around to run the country so it's run by the weak and corrupt. Now many of China's monied elites are escaping to the west too, taking with them billions in ill-gotten gains, leaving behind a country in highly polluted and corrupt conditions which they helped create.
This self-serving immigration policy of let-them-all-in is directly resulting in continued and ever more lopsided development of the world. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Just to add to my point earlier, the US & Europe will benefit from a much more evenly developed world, it means more people will be able to buy the products we produce(hence more jobs in the US for native citizens), and we can also export more of our services like higher education, i.e. establish satellite campuses of US universities overseas so more of their poor can be educated at an affordable cost, then stay in their country and help develop their country.
Clearly all of the world's 7 billion people cannot all live in the US or Europe. Instead of making these 2 regions overpopulated while leaving other parts of the world increasingly destitute, the more sustainable way to develop would be to raise the standard of living in many more parts of the world.
I believe members of Congress and the many of the American people have forgotten own their history when comes to immigration policy. They have forgotten one of the major guiding principals that made America great, That is; "it is Land of Opportunity and Liberty".
President Grover ClevelaInd accepted the Statue of Liberty on behalf of the United States and said in part: "We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected."
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
During the early part of the 20th century, the Statue of Liberty prominent position in New York Harbor, led to its association by tens of thousands of immigrates with hope of a better life, and a promising start in a America.
These are the real people and their children who help to "build "America and make her the great country she is. Many of them came to America with the clothes on their back and no education, but a dream of opportunity and liberty.
Have we forgot "The Statue Liberty" and have chosen to neglect her home? Or
should we just give the statue back and just say this land of Master Degree's, Engineers, Corporations, and rich?
We Americans get so swept up in our misty, poetic BS that we cannot see clearly thru all the fog. Nation of immigrants? How much were slaves, indentured servants, or England's and France's convicts dumped here before the Revolution willing immigrants? They had no freedom of choice and would rather have stayed home. Sentiments quoted are fine for a Fourth of July speech, but the people who built America (and made her what she is -- yada, yada) were usually net contributors to the economy.
In our now industrialised and post-industrial economy, according to some (including Chicago Nobel laureate, Gary Becker) we get too many, net social burdens, who make no net contribution to the average mix.
When the agricultural US was prairies and forests needing development and population, unskilled immigrants contributed by clearing forests, farming, etc. The could usually count on family to help and when needed could get help from neighbors too, up to a point.
From the outset, Capt Sir John Smith at Jamestown set the right tone when he told English gentlemen who refused physical labor, "If you don't work, you don't eat." All classes of non-contributing idlers and net burdens, who wanted others to keep carrying them, were soon told to get lost. Many generations later, their descendants often still inhabit remotenesses where their ancestors got lost to.
Much hot air swirls about the vital stoop-labor that harvests our vegetables, fruits (grains are mechanically gathered), cleans affluent houses, plucks our weeds, and mows our grass. Almost no US citisens take such jobs because pay is too low. The point often made is illegal peons who do what established Americans refuse to do, justifies looking the other way as we let them steal in. In some sense, slavery's wretchedness might also be construed as a better, even more humane, deal for Africans imported unwillingly.
Should any have forgotten, low-level US wages have barely budged in 35 years as the gap between most highly and least rewarded Americans has widened. Economist, Tim Harford (BA in PPE, Oxon), reckons nothing can even begin to narrow the gap while the illegal supply (inflow) of foreign, unskilled labor is effectively unlimited.
If Yuppies have to clean their own houses, pluck their own weeds, tend their own children, mow their own grass, and pay more for fruits and vegetables, so what? Are they inherently entitled to McMansions, expanses of turf, cheap, fresh fruit and vegetables? If they truly are, they can pay Americans a living American wage. If they don't need all the excess, they can scale back--maybe do with one less Mercedes or Lexus.
America is the way it is not only because of the immigrants it accepted, but also because of those it rejected. That's the part of history you've forgotten. Without restrictions balancing the tendency to accept everyone, the country wouldn't be the land of opportunity any more. It would be overcrowded and today's talent would go elsewhere. In the same way, if we're not careful with our immigration policy, talented immigrants 20 years from now will choose other destinations.
America should take those who will contribute best, without taking more than it can handle. That's common sense. The warm sentiment surrounding immigration is only one half of the coin.
That big copper lady standing out on Ellis Island defines America's immigrant tastes in slightly less restrictive terms:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
My point is: that's poetry, not policy, and it hasn't been policy since the early 1920s. We have to think as well as feel. Emotional appeals make bad policy otherwise.
PS - Lady Liberty stands on Liberty Island. Ellis Island is where the immigrants entered.
You know, I've never read "The New Colossus" until just now, and I think it's being misinterpreted. The poem says (to me) that the commoners of the world, despised by oppressive elites and longing to be rid of them, are in fact very valuable people and are more than adequate to make a strong country. Well, the intrepid ones who are willing to migrate are, anyway. "The New Colossus" refers to a country valuing liberty and consent of the governed rather than conquest (the Colossus of Rhodes).
I don't see anything in the poem saying unlimited immigration is an American value.
It seems quite hypocritical to me that in a country where the inhabitants claim to believe in liberty and equality, the government interferes with people peacefully going about their business and banishes them based on their ethnicity.
Oh, it is too costly to keep out the illegal immigrants or to send them back.
The US spends more on defense than the next 9 countries in the world combined. But that's not enough to defend its borders against 10 million illegal aliens? What chance does it have to keep out the terrorists and other threats?
I give up. I am willing to pay for their one-way bus fare home myself.
But please have empathy for the economically disadvantaged illegals?
Perhaps we should have MORE sympathy for those millions who have been law-abiding and impatiently waiting for their immigration application to be processed legally? And perhaps also a little sympathy for the poor, law-abiding tax-payers who have been subsidising the millions of illegals with all kinds of government hand-outs?
I would help any needy knocking on my door, but not when they break into my home uninvited. Similarly, I do not welcome people breaking the law to bust into our country.
This is a matter of mutual respect and civility. I don't care about the ethnicity, language, or education attainment of an illegal alien. If you knock and I invite you in, you are my guest and hospitality will be extended. If you break in, I shall do everything possible to kick you out.
I call this the Great Mexicanization of America. USA, as we know, is dying.
"The worst thing would be to cherry-pick, doing the popular and easy part (the H-1Bs) now, while leaving the 11m still in the shadows."
No. The worst thing would be to do nothing at all, letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Waiting for Merkel, Hollande and other European leaders to do the same for the Turks and Africans. Nah I was just kidding.
As Canadians we have enjoyed the benefits of the current US immigration policy for years: I have personally met at least ten entrepreneurs who got their education in the US, and then moved to Canada because they are appreciated and can stay here.
It is ridiculous to see how contentious this issue is in the US ... and we're happy to continue to benefit from the status quo as long as we can!!
Canada's biggest advantage is the points system. No waiting forever in temporary status hoping you'll eventually be sponsored - you're free from the moment you land.
By importing poverty this stupid government and their supporters are going to make the US a poor country. It will NOT help other poor countries, it simply will add one more to that sad list.
The one wrote this article says Obama is right . What a tripe !
It's quite simple folks, as an Xer, I would really like to have Social Security available by the time I retire ! Is it that hard to understand ?
What a comedic tragedy. A sad reflection of the utter chaos besetting the nation. A fiasco of monumental proportions.
If you think about it, everyone other than the native Indians could be deemed "illegal". So..
the ones you call "native indians" actually came from Asia ! The tribes crossed the Behring many centuries ago. So please revise your history homework before throwing these lunatic theories here.
Explain how George Washington, who founded two countries - Virginia, and later the US - immigrated to either country.
Sorry, too snarky. The editing button only works sometimes for me, I don't know why.
The point is, colonization isn't immigration, and what's "illegal" depends on whose law you're considering. To say that Americans are "illegal" is to deny the legitimacy of the US government - in which case, Mexico's government is equally illegitimate, as is the government of virtually every other country. Yet they all have immigration policies, and none are considered hypocritical, except the US.
The line about all Americans immigrating - never mind immigrating illegally - is common but fundamentally flawed.
I came to the US in 1992 for my MS degree, then stayed on and worked.
I got my green card in 2006 after an endless amount of frustration, paperwork, red tape and plain inefficiency of the immigratoin department, not to mention thousands of dollars in expenses. This for a person with a MS in Engineering, one who pays taxes, buys a house and contributes a lot to the economy.
God knows what a hapless illegal alien has to go through, yes, i do know the person is illegal but still...i hope americans do remember that they were not welcomed when their ancestors arrived, they basically mass murdered the locals to get in and stay in. in a sense, most are descendents of criminals if you really think about it. that makes almost everyone illegal, in a sense.
This is just an example of the double standards the US applies to different situations, who cares about immigrants as long as the ones already citizens sit pretty, right?
If i had to do it all over again, I would not.
I would prefer to stay in India or try Canada or Australia if I wanted to emigrate.
Please apply to citizenship in any other country - I am sure you will love it there - bye.
Just so you know, some of us here are glad you have joined us. And hope you stay and contribute for a long time to come. Will you get flack from the paranoid among us? Sure. But I have to point out that every country has people who are morons on the subject. Please try to remember, when one of those morons starts yelling "Go back where you came from!" that many of us, most of us, are seriously embarrassed by him.
Dear Jouris - I did not suggest that he go back from where he came from - read - if you can - the post - it his/her words "If i had to do it all over again, I would not. I would prefer to stay in India or try Canada or Australia if I wanted to emigrate." AND it is people such as yourself that should be embarrassed - for your illiteracy - and even though I believe you are extremely shallow - and have no grasp of the situation. As I wish to remain polite - I will refrain from calling you stupid.
You nailed it. The arrogance & the hubris of the ignorant masses is truly appalling & dehumanising. A sad caricature of human frailty.
you not happy ? just LEAVE and you won't be missed.
The problem is that both the Congress, and more so Mr. Obama, miss the point. First and foremost, America would not have this so called immigration problem has it not been for lack of enforcement of the current laws. Both President and Congress can enact whatever they want but if the executive branch refuses to enforce it, as it does now, it is in effect no more than a window dressing. Second, both groups assume that the illegal immigrants in America came here to become citizens. That is an utter nonsense. Large portion of newcomers want to make enough to support their families back in Mexico, Guatemala, and so on, and go home at the end of it. You can offer them all the paths to citizens you want and they will not take it.
Call me cynical but I don't believe an either group is serious about solving the problem and the WH in particular couldn't be farther from it. It is political expediency and fight for the votes what drives the reform.
Lack of enforcement of the current laws? The current laws are impossible to enforce. It would be insanely costly to prevent migrants over that immense border, and even more so for the government to check up on every employer. It kills be that so many big-government fearing 'conservatives' want the government to so assiduously monitor our border and then track every single person any private company hires.
You miss the point that the US benefits economically from both unskilled laborers who will work for incredibly cheap and highly-skilled workers who will bolster our high-tech industries.
And so what if some immigrants want to take the meager money they make here back home? So what if many don't want to stay long enough to be citizens (and on that you're mostly wrong, I live in Texas and have known many who do, who only send money home because they can't bring their families here), the point is it's good economic policy according to the natural laws of economics.

Build a fence - no wait - appropriations were provided for in 2006. Still no fence. Please make sure that you make an exception to prevailing laws - that i might choose to disregard - whatever they might be. Thanks for your assistance.
USA currently enjoys zero net illegal immigration from Mexico. Say what you want, but those are the facts. The debate in the United States has not kept pace with the reality on the ground, on the subject of enforcement.
Check page 46 for more information.
Let them stay, Let them in!
Immigration is popoluar issue for the developped country. Maybe the cause is so complex.
The US gets too few engineers, physicists, etc., but those need not sneak in.
The the great majority of our 11,000,000 illegals are unskilled, stoop labor. The US needs such labor to harvest its domestic, fruit and vegetable crops, because no American will work for so little or under such conditions.
We cannot economically round up the 11,000,000 and ship them back, so we must legitimise their surreptitious entry. Because the Constitution gives citisenship to any born here, their US-born children get a still coveted status from parental outlawry. The universe is unfair. What we must do to make them legal has sensible limits, but doing it quickly, then ensuring it never happens again is critical. (Yes. Reagan's amnesty was to have ensured no recurrence too.)
Solution to fruit and vegetable harvests enforcing rules against illegal stoop labor. Farmers would have to pay up to hire Americans. Apples, strawberries, and tomatoes would cost more, but such costs seem modest compared with the burden illegals put on our police, prisons, schools and public services (including emergency rooms which they turn to for medical needs).
Next, the US must do more to assimilate multi-generational poor, here at times for centuries. This problem is fashionable to agree on and discuss, but few seem really willing to do anything about it. Our aborigines and many blacks do not favor the lavish hand dealt illegals.
A nationwide, uniform crash-program would only drive up costs. Saner would be selective, carefully managed, small projects in areas of keenest need. Few projects could allow emergence of different approaches to identify what works and what doesn't, instead of a shelf-filling set of manuals covering from the outset, all operations nationwide.
E-verify = self deportation.
Immigration reform is an euphuism for amnesty of over 10 million illegal immigrants. And sure enough, it encourages more to invade the US every time the old-times are legalised. This really cannot continue, enough is enough.
It is reasonable enough to try to improve the talent pool of immigrants by admitting more skilled foreigners. But what has that got to do with inviting tens of millions of illegal immigrants to come for the next round of amnesty?
Did you read the article? Mexican immigration is at an all-time low due to economic conditions, not law enforcement.
And can you have an ounce of empathy for the people who come here? They're fleeing some screwed up countries for a land of opportunity. Hell, if I had to break some silly laws to put food on the table, I would. Kind of like yours and mine ancestors did.
an ounce of empathy for parasites ? gimme a break !
During its first hundred years, the United States had no laws prohibiting immigration. Indeed, one immigrant's portrait is on the ten-dollar bill.
Europe, with the Schengen area, proved that immigration laws are a lot of bother about nothing. The United States, with their free migration among the states, proved that immigration laws are a lot of bother about nothing.
If the United States would simply revoke its immigration laws, then the illegal immigration problem would simply go away, because the immigration laws are a lot of (expensive) bother about nothing.
I sincerely hope that the president and legislature of the US face the opposition to immigration expressed in the admittedly few comments I read.
My (unnamed) country has derived a huge benefit by admitting many of those the US has turned away. A number of these folks are my friends. They are employed, have stable families, and take active roles in making the communities where they live better places.
I would ask the US to maintain their present policy toward immigrants. We are getting a wonderful bunch of well educated people who contribute to the welfare of our society. Please continue to send them our way.
After all, they are not employed and paying taxes when they arrive, they tend to have many children, they speak English - if at all - with strange accents, and many of them wear outlandish clothes. You really would not like them. Please, keep them out of the US for your own good, and for ours.
Thank you!

True, but the jobs that Indians can do are going to India anyway. Wouldn't it be better to bring the workers over here, than send the jobs over there?

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Bottle Conditioned - 75 cl, and 33 cl bottles. Ingredients: Pilsner malt (French barley from Champagne); wheat starch or flour (10% - 15%); dextrose (5%); malt extract (0.1%); hop extract from German Hallertaur (aroma) & American Galena (bittering) hops. Yeast & liquid invert sugar added to the bottled beer. Chimay Red is noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Does this work also benefits to gallium, or just to mesa classic ?
Phoronix: Intel's Investing In Some Mesa Optimizations
Earlier this month an Intel employee began asking about making optimizations to Mesa's shader compiler (on the Mesa-dev list). This Intel employee was not one of their usual Open-Source Technology Center developers commonly working on their Linux graphics stack as part of Keith Packard's team, but instead it was an uncommon name: Benjamin Segovia. Ben is from Intel's Advanced Graphics Lab team where previously he worked on ray-tracing techniques, but as of late seems to be at least dedicating some of his Intel effort towards optimizing Mesa...
Does this work also benefits to gallium, or just to mesa classic ?
I'm guessing that this is mostly for Mesa Classic, and not Gallium, but I don't have anything to really go on.
The best reason I can come up with for that hunch is that there's a separate Mesa state tracker for when Gallium3D is in use, and it wasn't mentioned that any of these optimizations were being developed for the Mesa ST. It would also make some sense as Intel isn't currently focusing on Gallium for their integrated graphics chips, but they're focusing on classic Mesa (from all I've read).
Ho Hum, I seem to recall that the GLSL compiler is shared with both Gallium3D and classic Mesa, but I don't really have anything to back this up with.
Maybe somebody with a better understanding of things can chime in?
Now, what kind of speed difference does 40% less GPU instructions cause?

I set up another 55gal with a divider and moved the breeding pairs out of the community tank. I'm sure the community is happy of that!
The golds have eaten all 4 of their batches so I may remove their next one.
The marbles haven't laid since I took some of their wigglers that were falling but I think they will be again soon. I made some "egg slates" with lips at the bottom to catch any wigglers that may fall.
The 12 wigglers I got from the marbles before it was too late all became free swimmers. However 2 were deformed and could only spin in circles so couldn't eat and 4 others never did eat so I have 6 left that seem to be doing very well and have been free swimmers for about 2 1/2 weeks.
I am trying to wean them from microworms. I have looked online and what I find says to grind flakes to a fine powder and feed. I think some are eating but some aren't so I'm not sure what to do there... Any suggestions?Last edited by johney66; 10-22-2011 at 12:29 AM. Reason: Spelling

Urgent help needed!
OK, so I need somemore help here. I was down to 6 little angelfish fry and 1 by 1 their dieing off! They all seemed fine, eating and swimming then one seemed to stop eating and laying around at the bottom of the container. When I would feed, it seemed he would be trying to eat but I don't know and would kind of dart around a bit or seem to try to swim pressing it's head against the bottom. When one would get so weak and die I would pull it out and a day or two later another would start doing it, I'm down to 4 now and it looks like I'm fixing to lose another. Water paramiters are fine, I do pwc of 50% twice a day and feed microworms, ground flakes and frozen baby brine shrimp 2x daily, 3x when possible. Any help? PLEASE!Last edited by johney66; 10-29-2011 at 9:48 AM. Reason: Title
