The way I see it
every life is a pile of good things and bad things.
The good things don't always soften the bad things
but vice versa
the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things
and make them unimportant
We need a thread on SD for a kangaroo court on coupon wording & store policies. I'm sure it could be a very active thread, as unfortunately that darn show starts up again soon and more policies will be tightened and coupons will have more wording.
P&G is going to have to produce page size coupons if they want to add to the restrictions and have the cashiers be able to read them without a magnifier.
You should call the Manager!
I went to Target tonight and purchased the "Fun on the Run" CONNECT 4 game at $4.99.
I took my receipt to the nearest Walmart and PM'd . I used my $5 newspaper coupon and got some Connect 4 games Free. It was difficult at first because Target's upc # was different than Walmart's, but then I reminded the CSM that according to their new policy, I really didn't have to show her a receipt or provide proof to PM. I sure wish the coupon listed hungry hippos cause they had plenty of them. Oh well, if you're looking for FREE games try to PM Connect 4 "Fun on the Run" from Target. Btw, the Walmart I was at still thinks that they only have to PM Ads. Geeeesh!!! When will these Walmart people comprehend that Walmart CORP would rather have us spend money in their store, rather than going to a competitor?

YOU are a phenomenal person and I'm so HAPPY to know YOU!!
THANK YOU MeAndMyDeals!! YOU are an AMAZING person!!!
Most every coupon says something along the lines of "consumer must pay all sales tax". But...if I use those Q's for overage at WM, I'm not paying the full sales tax, am I? Every time I use a $1 q on a $.97 item, that q pays for three cents of tax. Does that make for unethical usage? (pre coupon tax state here, btw)
I say no, because WM has a policy not to adjust coupons down.
Sometimes store rules supersede coupon rules, simply because we redeem them at the store and not directly with the manufacturer. WM knows what the manufacturer will reimburse them for, and would never implement a q policy that would cause a mass declination of the coupons they redeemed. As long as we are redeeming coupons on the proper items, any store that redeems a q towards sales tax or doubles a q that says do not double or allows overage on a q that prohibits cash back is allowed to do so. Now, if a store chooses to follow those rules and mark the q down or not allow cash back, so be it. But I don't see how we can judge others for following the store's rules.
Reps are back...for now. I owe loads of gratitude to everyone that got me where I am! Read the *NEW* CVS FAQ and post your questions there. Let's keep the deal threads deal-related, please.
Would it kill you to read the wiki? Or to read the thread? All the experts got to where they are by reading...you can too.
I totally agree w/ slowtech! Anytime you get "o," you ARE technically getting cashback, you're just choosing to spend it on something else.
If you have a $6 q, and buy $4 in items, if you're expecting $6 in credit from the q, then that is an extra $2 in cash money that you are spending, yeah wm doesn't get that cash money till they redeem the q, but that doesn't change the fact.
When wm redeems that q, they get $4 to cover the purchase, and $2 to cover your "o" purchase. that's $2, cashback that you've already spent...if it weren't being converted into cashback, then you'd be stealing that extra $2 of merchandise from wm.
so in other words, if you buy an item that is .97 and the tax on that item is .07, if you use a 1.00 coupon , you still have to pay .04, you do not get a pass on the .07 tax due and do not get .03 back from the overage.
you are paying the sales tax, just partially w/ overage.
on the other hand, if you bought the same item at target w/ a store coupon, you would not be liable for the .07 tax. i use target b/c as far as i know, walmart doesn't have any store coupons. but it's the same scenario at my supermarket w/ supercoupons.
using mq-
.97 + .07tax = 1.04 -1.00mq = .04oop (tax paid is .07)
using store q-
.97 - store q = FREE (no tax liability)
what all you guys are ignoring is what i'll call *the rules of the road*. you are just looking at the part that says *no cash back* and thinking that overage is ok just as you don't get actual cash back from the drawer.
for instance, say you get pulled over by a police officer and you know you followed all the posted signs, you stopped at the stop sign, you drove at the speed limit of 35mph, you yielded, etc, etc, etc. the officer says, i'm giving you a $100 ticket for not wearing a seatbelt, are you going to argue that there is no sign posted that says you need to wear a seatbelt?
what i'm saying is that road rules of couponing means that the terms and limits of a coupon only apply to the coupon and the item(s) you need to purchase to fulfill the requirements of the coupon. you have to look at it separately from everything else. it doesn't say it on the coupon but that's how coupons work.
what i'm also saying is you may get lucky and the cashier doesn't read the part saying no cash back. i like to get lucky too. i may sometimes do things to increase my luck. you may get lucky very, very often b/c we all know most cashiers don't read the coupon unless the cash register has a problem w/ it and beeps, says cryptic messages like print journal, etc. but i'm not going to argue w/ the cashier if they say this coupon doesn't allow overage. just like you can only use 4 like p&g coupons, if the cashier decides to follow the terms on the coupon, even though walmart itself doesn't impose any limits. are you going to argue w/ the cashier that you can use unlimited like p&g q's? no, b/c what the coupons says supersedes the store coupon policy and the store has to follow those terms to get reimbursed.
i am going to drop this topic b/c we all know that coupons and coupon policies are currently evolving at rapid pace and what's here today could be gone tomorrow.

So, anyway....I pm'ed the Operation just fine. I was thrilled. It was almost $13 at our store and to get it for $1...guess what my youngest nephew is getting for Christmas? (My kids already have it. )
Ok folks, I think the discussion of cash back was healthy. However, I think it has once again ended with you believe what you believe and I believe what I believe
Thank you for keeping it nice
"You cannot believe all the quotes you read on the internet, due to the sources often being hard to verify" - Abraham Lincoln
found [google.com] my $.02 coupon,
so I can give my opinion without any oop
Pop tarts price check please?
thanks and reps
At a non-WM store I found some Hartz mice and catnip heart toys. Makes a great donation to a local PetSmart rescue organization or animal rescue. They were just free, but it worked for me. I still had 8 coupons the other day, so I picked them up as the WM's were exhausted of the cheapies.
Had an issue with a manager telling me I can't use a coupon on top of a price match (operation game) because the price match IS a coupon.
I see by doing research that corporate policy is to allow coupons on top of a PM...but I can't find the official policy that says this. Does it exist?!
i called corp and they honored the pm after the sale was over (cause it took them that long to call me). but it should be noted, that when i called corp, the rep said the store was correct, i couldn't do that. i said i would hold while they got a supervisor on the phone to verify. lo and behold, i was correct.
the support supervisor that said that gives me dirty looks now every time she sees me.
from now on, i only go to customer service desk to do any pm.

I have been toying with the idea of this project for a little while. What if we take the Old Testament tales of Israelite conquest of the lands of the Canaanite nations and substitute "Muslims". This would allow Christians to look at the passages with fresh eyes. We might also want to replace the names of the Canaanite nations with modern non-Christian nations such as Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, etc. Just by changing the names, that whole section of the Bible becomes instantly untenable to most Christians.
It might be interesting to do something like this with many parts of the Bible. Keep the content but shift the context enough to allow the truth of what is actually written there to pop.

The Master of Science (M.S.) in Human Resource Management program addresses the need for competent human resource managers with an advanced understanding of employee retention, development, succession planning, compensation, benefits administration, health care, retirement planning, pensions, finance, and decision sciences.
The program combines the academic rigor of a master's degree with the practical skills needed to succeed in human resource management. You'll gain a strong theoretical foundation in the field while learning to apply practical application of theoretical concepts to the workplace.

The revolution in oil and natural gas production technology has shifted the domestic energy supply curve dramatically to the right. Hydraulic fracturing and directional drilling have made large domestic crude oil and natural gas reserves accessible at production costs that are competitive with international prices, enabling domestic producers to gain back a share of crude oil sales from imports, preserve North American self-sufficiency in natural gas, and even to seek a share of overseas natural gas markets.
The build-out of the domestic oil and gas supply is pumping billions of dollars into the still ailing economy and creates jobs in the industry, the largely domestic supply chain, and throughout the economy. Increased oil and gas production creates real value, lends a competitive advantage to U.S. manufacturing, and promises sustained economic growth.
Abundant oil and gas reserves. The domestic reserves of crude oil and natural gas now accessible are so large they will last for many decades. The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) latest estimate of the country's technically recoverable natural gas resources is 2,327 trillion cubic feet, which would last roughly 100 years at the current rate of U.S. consumption; its estimate of crude oil resources is 222.6 billion barrels, which amounts to 90 years of U.S. field production at the current rate.
According to a prominent University of Texas study of 15,000 wells in the Barnett Shale formation of northern Texas, 44 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, which is equal to two years of U.S. consumption at current rates, can yet be produced from Barnett alone. This is more than three times what has been produced so far from that formation. The Barnett study, and similar ones under way, suggests that natural gas production in the United States will not plateau until 2040.
Stable production costs. The large resource base of tight oil and shale gas suggests that production can expand over a wide range of output without substantial cost increases. Unless it becomes more difficult to find and extract the resources, drilling and production costs per unit of output will not increase—and given the enormous size of shale plays in the United States that may not occur for a long time. Exhibit 2 shows estimates of long-run supply curves from different sources of natural gas in the United States based on present technology. A substantial portion of the estimated shale resource base is economic at prices between $4 and $8 per MMBtu.
The advancements that have made unconventional production economical occurred only a few years ago and costs may yet decline even further as the unconventional methods are honed—the supply curve may shift further down and to the right. Indeed, estimates of oil and gas resources typical increase over time.

Comments about Thule 501 Insta-Gater:
This rack works great. I live down a bumpy dirt road and the bike stays still. I was affraid it would move with all the bumps. It is lockable but I wasn't aware that the lock didn't come with the rack. It is easy to set up, and works great with my 29er. The second consern I had was that my truck bed is short, fortunately even with the bike set at an angle, it stays put. I like this set up better than the hitch mount because I was afraid of getting rear ended by people getting tto close at red lights and stop sighns.

Comments about Thule 501 Insta-Gater:
First mounted the rack in ute as per directions, first use one of the straps broke as it is attached to the rack with a single pop rivet. The wheel brace slipped off the wheel no matter how hard the brace was against the tyre. After mods the wheel brace sits on top of the tyre in front of the forks. The other strap has been removed and rack has been moved back from the tailgate so the front wheel sits in properly. The rack is bolted to the tray. Still rated a 4 stars as the rack is solid and doesn't intefere with the disc or forks very easy to get the bike in.
Comments about Thule 501 Insta-Gater:
Insta-Gator is a great way to tote the bike around. It is well built, sturdy and stable. I have used it for weekly for over three years with no problems.
Comments about Thule 501 Insta-Gater:
I like it, it works good and is easy to put in and take out. Holds the bike in place.

Comments about Hayes MX Comp Mechanical Disc Brake:
If you're looking for a disc brake that's simple, provides plenty of stopping power with minimal finger strength and won't burn a whole in your wallet, then look no further.
I've had experience with hydraulic and mechanical brakes from multiple brands and found this setup allows me to really enjoy mountain biking. Right now i utilize the Hayes caliper and rotor with Avid levers on my hardtail 29er. I can stop when i need to STOP and I spend almost no time adjusting/maintaining the brakes.
Only reason these brakes don't get 5 stars is because they're not ideal for all types of biking.

Amerell Secures Women's Volleyball's Second-Straight Player of the Week Award
October 26, 2010
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Pfeiffer University's Kim Amerell has been selected as the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas women's volleyball Player of the Week during week number eight in the 2010 season. This marks the second-straight week a Lady Falcon has taken player of the week honors with Kristina Mordini winning the award last week.
Amerell, a freshman from Lynchburg, VA, propelled the Lady Falcons to a 3-1 week, winning their fifth-straight and eight of their last nine inside league play. The streak continued with a 3-1 win over Belmont Abbey as the outside hitter hit .429 with 11 kills in addition to three aces and popping up 10 digs. The freshman followed that up with a .409 hitting percentage in a sweep of Limestone adding 10 more kills, an ace and pair of digs.
During Saturday's tri-match, Amerell picked up a match-high 19 kills hitting .385 in a tight loss to Lenoir-Rhyne, before finishing with a half-dozen more kills in a quick sweep over Virginia Union. Amerell set new career-highs this past week in kills vs. Lenoir-Rhyne, hitting percentage and overall hitting percentage for the week. The Lady Falcons improve to 9-13 overall and 8-5 in the conference.
Amerell and the Lady Falcons will get back to action on Wednesday night traveling to Queens for a 6:30 p.m. match before hosting Erskine on "Dig for the Cure" night on Friday.

Slowly but surely, shoots are coming...
In early December we looked forward to an early spring but then the cold weather slowed everything down. Now, with temperatures slowly rising, school scientists are reporting new signs of spring across Wales! My shoots have also started to come through!
In Pentrepoeth Junior School, Swansea. Pupils were very excited to find crocus, daffodil and mystery bulbs peeping through the soil. They were surprised how some of their shoots varied in size and love recording the temperature and rainfall.
On the really Welsh farm, in Bridgend. Farmers have finally started picking daffodils and sending them out across South Wales. They report: 'Still not huge volumes really, we are extremely disappointed at how slow the daffodils are growing this year. We are about 5 weeks behind for the earliest varieties and are keeping our fingers crossed that we will have plenty of daffodils for St.Davids Day'.
Professor Plant's bulb blog:
20/02/10 My crocus opened today! First the flower bud appeared, then when the sun came out at lunch time - the flower popped open. The colours were amazing, bright purple petals and bright orange anthers & stigma. It's so nice to finally have some colour in the garden. Later in the afternoon, when the sunshine disappeared the flower closed again. I'll upload my pictures tomorrow. Does your crocus do this? Why not try out some of my investigation ideas. See link below.
15/02/10 Both my daffodil and crocus shoots have started to come through. They are no taller than 2cms which is quiet small for this time of year. In 2008, when the winter was mild my crocus flowers had already opened and the daffodils were 11cms tall!
Which shoot is which? The daffodil shoots have smooth curved, light green tips. They are much broader than the crocus tips. The crocus shoots have narrow pointed shoots that normally appear in clusters of five. They have dark green edges - making them look slightly stripey.

Absolutely Beautiful!
I ordered the large cards with Cornflower, Scarlet, and Ivory as my colors. They came out even more beautiful than I expected. The paper is great quality and the colors are vibrant, clear, and crisp. I would absolutely recommend this product, but I'd definitely get a sample one sent out first. The original blue that I chose was a little darker than what I had wanted, so I was able to switch to Cornflower. You can't beat the pricing either!
So Pretty!
I purchased these as my Save the Dates. I customized the colors to match our wedding colors and they came out great! They are the perfect size and I love that they are magnets. My friends have told me that they have it on their fridge, so they definitely wont forget! I got them about a week and a half after I ordered them, which I thought was great turn around time. They even threw in the extras that were made during production at no extra cost. I'm very pleased with my experience and will definitely use MagnetStreet again in the future.
Just what I was looking for
I thought these save the dates went well with my love bird theme. They are a perfect size and just simple.
Save the date magnets
The magnets are wonderful. Eveything came to us exactly as shown. I paid a little more for these and the quality shows. Very pleased and will be placing future orders. The packaging was nice also.
love these!
These are so cute! Love how they came out. Everything is perfect and I love the box they came in!

An epidural blood patch is when a small amount of blood is used to seal a puncture site in the spine as a result of a spinal tap procedure . The patch helps restore normal pressure in the spinal fluid.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to relieve a spinal headache that does not go away on its own. A spinal headache can develop after a spinal tap procedure when too much spinal fluid leaks internally and reduces pressure in the spine.
This procedure is quite common and relief is often immediate.
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have an epidural blood patch, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Bleeding
- Bad reaction to the anesthesia, contrast dye solution, or sedative medication—light-headedness and/or wheezing
- Infection
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Taking blood thinners prior to the procedure
- Current infection
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the epidural blood patch.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Your doctor will do a thorough physical exam and explain the risks and benefits of the procedure.
- Discuss all allergies with your doctor.
- You will need to sign a consent form.
- Arrange for a ride home.
- You may be asked to stop eating and drinking for 2-6 hours before the procedure.
- If possible, you will be asked to stop taking aspirin , anti-inflammatory medications, certain supplements such as vitamin E , and blood-thinning medications for up to 10 days before the procedure. Discuss stopping these medications with your doctor.
- You may be asked to avoid certain herbal supplements prior to the procedure, such as fish oil .
- Take your other medications as usual.
Local anesthesia will be used at the puncture site, so you should not feel any pain during the procedure.
Description of the Procedure
In the operating room, two IVs will be inserted in your arms to delivery medications and fluids and to draw blood. You may be given a sedative to ease anxiety.
You will lie face down on the table. Your back will be washed and sanitized. An x-ray may be used to help the doctor guide a small needle to the area where spinal fluid is leaking. Contrast dye solution will be injected and more x-rays will be taken. A small amount of blood will be drawn and injected into the correct area of the spine. This should clot, or seal, the leakage.
How Long Will It Take?
About 30 minutes
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will remain awake and be asked to lie still during the procedure. Local anesthesia injected should block any pain. You may feel a slight pressure during the procedure.
Average Hospital Stay
After resting, you may be able to go home the same day.
Post-procedure Care
- You will be taken to a recovery room for a few hours.
- You will be asked to lie flat and still.
- You will be monitored and given IV fluids.
- After a few hours, you will be asked to get up and move around slowly.
When you return home, do the following to help ensure a smooth recovery:
- Continue bed rest and gradual gentle movement for the first 24 hours.
- For 2-3 days, avoid sudden movements, lifting, or strenuous physical activity.
- Drink plenty of fluids. You may eat a normal diet.
- Return to your activities as tolerated.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Continued pain or discomfort after 24 hours
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Limb weakness, numbness, or unusual sensations
- Trouble emptying bladder or bowels
- Stiff neck
In case of an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Severe Weather Raised Panel Exterior Shutter
This traditional raised panel shutter has a naturalist wood grain, but is made from durable composite material that is warranted against cracking, peeling, rotting or flaking. Depending on the local climate, a composite or vinyl shutter provides excellent durability over a painted wooden shutter, which needs periodic repainting. The raised panel style is a very formal and traditional look that is sure to raise the style level on any home's exterior.


text: The Indianapolis-based Christian metalcore band Haste the Day formed in 2001. Guitarist/vocalist Brennan Chaulk, his drummer brother Devin, and bassist/vocalist Mike Murphy originally gigged as a three-piece, but six months after the group's inception they added longtime friend Jason Barnes as a second guitarist, and after a series of auditions named Jimmy Ryan their lead vocalist. After self-releasing That They May Know You in 2002, Haste the Day signed to the Tooth & Nail label's Solid State subsidiary to issue their breakthrough LP, Burning Bridges, in the spring of 2004. They spent the year on shows with bands like As I Lay Dying and Zao, and their next album, When Everything Falls, appeared the following summer. In late 2005, Ryan announced his pending marriage and quit the band, playing his last show with them that December. A few months later, the remaining members of Haste the Day added new vocalist Stephen Keech, formerly of New Day Awakening. Pressure the Hinges arrived in March 2007, and the guys supported it on dates with From Autumn to Ashes and Maylene & the Sons of Disaster. After touring, the band found the time to head into the studio with producer Andreas Magnusson (who also produced albums for The Black Dahlia Murder and Sleeper) and began working on new material. The result was Haste the Day's fifth studio album, Attack of the Wolf King, which was released in 2010. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

Comments about CrankBrothers Crank Brothers Egg Beater 11 Pedals:
I have owned two pairs of these pedals. One set was on my carbon XC race bike and the other on my regular "ride with the guys" full suspension mountain bike. I opted for this pedal on both bikes for commonality, maintenance, feel etc. I am very disappointed in the longevity of the pedal. In both sets the titanium wings have worn excessively fast (as compared to my egg beater 3's) also and this may be a coincidence or inherent manufacturing flaw, the right pedal spindle on both bikes snapped within a month of each other. The break occurred in the same transition location on each pedal. I am not a DH junkie or drop maniac, just a XC racer addicted to speed. I weigh 155 lbs so I am no Clydesdale either. Save you money and purchase the egg beater 3's instead. My pedals came with a 2 year warranty note now the pedals come with a 5 year warranty. It is possible that the design has been improved.

Comments about DT Swiss XR400 29" Rim:
I bought this rim after I bent the stock front rim on my Hardtail XC bike.
Im a bigger rider (6'2" 215lbs) and I ride on very rough rocky terrain. Ive done 3 rides including a XC race on our local ski hill. The first thing I noticed was how firm and responsive this rim is. Made such a difference in the ride.
In the race I beat this rim up really hard and it stayed true. I though for sure after a couple of the descends that it would bend a bit but it stayed perfect.
Great rim, great price. Once I get more cash Im going to rebuild my rear wheel using this rim.

Families Reuniting after Work
Professor of psychology, Rena Repetti, is a core faculty member in the Center for the Everyday Lives of Families (CELF) at UCLA, an interdisciplinary research center funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Repetti adopts a social ecological approach to study family and individual health and development. She is interested in how experiences outside of the family (primarily at work and at school) shape the patterning of family interactions and, ultimately, the emotional and social functioning of all family members (both children and parents). A central component of the CELF study is a microscopic investigation of a "week in the life" of a sample of families.
Repetti is also interested in the role of early family rearing environments in shaping long-term physical and mental health. The Risky Families Model (Repetti, Taylor, & Seeman, 2002) delineates biological and psychological processes through which a child's healthy development can be hindered by certain family characteristics. Their studies show how stressors spillover into the home and influence the family social environment, including both marital and parent-child interaction.
Dr. Repetti's Athenaeum lecture is sponsored the Berger Institute for Work, Family, and Children at Claremont McKenna College.
Surviving Injustice: The True Story of the First Death Row Inmate Exonerated by DNA
In June of 1993, Kirk Bloodsworth's case became the first capital conviction in the United States to be overturned as a result of DNA testing. A former Marine and Maryland resident, Bloodsworth was convicted of sexual assault, rape, and first-degree premeditated murder and sentenced to death in 1985.
In 1992, after years of fighting for a DNA test, evidence from the crime scene was sent to a lab for testing. Final reports from state and federal labs concluded that Bloodsworth's DNA did not match any of the evidence received for testing. On June 28, 1993, a Baltimore County circuit judge ordered Bloodsworth released from prison, and in December 1993, Maryland's governor pardoned him. By the time of his release, Bloodsworth had served almost nine years in prison, including two on death row.
On September 5, 2003, the state of Maryland announced they had found a DNA match in the 20-year-old case. That person pled guilty on May 20, 2004 to the murder for which Bloodsworth had been wrongfully convicted.
Today, Bloodsworth is a program officer for The Justice Project's Campaign for Criminal Justice Reform and the Criminal Justice Reform Education Fund, and he has been an ardent supporter of the Innocence Protection Act (IPA). The IPA will establish the "Kirk Bloodsworth Post-Conviction DNA Testing Program," a program that will help states defray the costs of post-conviction DNA testing.
John Terzano is the President of The Justice Project. He has worked on issues of social justice domestically and abroad for over 25 years. A native of Detroit, Terzano served in the U.S. Navy and did two tours of duty in Vietnam. He led the first delegation of veterans to return to Vietnam after the war and was a leading advocate for reconciliation between the United States and Vietnam. Today he is Vice President of the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation, which he cofounded in 1980. In 1997 the VVAF received a Nobel Peace Prize for their campaign to ban land mines. Terzano is also vice chair of the American Bar Association's Section of Individual Rights and Responsibilities Criminal Justice committee.
This evening's presentation is part of an on going Athenaeum series, Psychology and Law.
Amnesty International – TASER Debate
P. EDWARD HALEY, moderator
William F. Schulz was appointed Executive Director of Amnesty International USA in March 1994. An ordained Unitarian Universalist minister, he came to Amnesty after serving for fifteen years with the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA), the last eight (1985-1993) as President of the Association.
As president of the UUA, Schulz was involved in a wide variety of international and social justice causes. During his years with Amnesty, he has traveled extensively, both in the U.S. and abroad. Throughout his career, he has been outspoken in his opposition to the death penalty and his support for women's rights, gay and lesbian rights, and racial justice. He has appeared frequently on radio and television, and has published and is quoted widely in newspapers and magazines. He is the author of several books, including In Our Own Best Interests: How Defending Human Rights Benefits Us All (Beacon Press, 2001) and Tainted Legacy: 9/11 and the Ruin of Human Rights (Nation Books, 2003).
William Schulz is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Oberlin College, holds a master's degree in philosophy from the University of Chicago, and the Doctor of Ministry degree from the Meadville/Lombard Theological School at the University of Chicago.
Rick Smith cofounded TASER International with his brother Thomas P. Smith, the company's president, on September 7, 1993. Rick has served as TASER's Chief Executive Officer and as a director since that time.
Rick and Thomas Smith sought to develop and provide advanced non-lethal devices for use in law enforcement, private security and personal defense markets. Over 6,000 police departments in the United States and abroad have purchased TASER devices, and hundreds have purchased TASER devices for every patrol officer.
After graduating from Harvard with a B.A. degree in Biology, Smith entered directly into the Masters of Business Administration Program at the University of Chicago, the youngest person accepted into his class at the business school. In two years, he completed both his M.B.A. with honors at the University of Chicago, and a Masters Degree in International Finance from the University of Leuven in Leuven, Belgium.
This important and timely discussion is sponsored by the Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights. Professor Ed Haley of the government department at CMC will moderate.
TASER devices are among the safest and most effective use-of-force choices available.
Boards of medical experts and studies in the United States, UK, Canada, and other countries confirm the life-saving value of TASER technology.
TASER International values independent reviews of its products and supports continued study of the use of TASER technology.
Since 2001, more than 70 people are reported to have died in the USA and Canada after being struck by M26 or X26 TASERS, with the numbers rising each year.
Portable and easy to use, electro-shock weapons are particularly open to abuse by unscrupulous officials.
Suspend all transfers and use of TASERS and other electro-shock weapons pending a rigorous, independent and impartial inquiry into their use and effects.
Glass as Metaphor: Reflections on the Development of My Work
Already a formidable literary figure in England, A.S. Byatt achieved bestseller status in the United States with her Booker Prize-winning novel Possession: A Romance (1990), the novel was made into a film in 2002. Her novella Morpho Eugenia (1992), in which she examines the similarities between anthills and 19th century manor households, was made into the film Angels and Insects (1995). Byatt's other fiction includes The Biographer's Tale: A Novel (2001), The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye (1994), The Matisse Stories (1993), and a quartet of novels about the 1950s and 1960s (The Virgin in the Garden (1978), Still Life (1985), Babel Tower (1996) and A Whistling Woman) (2002). Her critical work includes Degrees of Freedom: The Novels of Iris Murdoch (1965), Passions of the Mind: Selected Essays (1992) and On Histories and Stories: Selected Essays (2000). A.S. Byatt's most recent work, a collection of five short stories entitled The Little Black Book of Stories, was published in April 2004. A Whistling Woman was released in trade paperback in April 2004.
A.S. Byatt could be called the patron saint of bookworms. She describes her often-bedridden childhood self as having been "kept alive by fictions"— mostly the novels of Dickens, Austen, and Scott. She has always been a self-described greedy reader, who weaves her many interests— biology, history, philosophy among them— into her work. The results are novels with, as she has often stated, "the whole world in them"— books that teem with characters and ideas, books in which reading and writing usually prove a matter of life, death, and freedom.
Born in Yorkshire, England, A.S. Byatt read English at Cambridge and continued her studies at Bryn Mawr (PA) and Oxford. She taught English and American literature at University College in London before returning to full-time writing in 1983. In 1990, she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Buckingham Palace, and in 1999 she was made a Dame of the British Empire, honors which recognized her work as a writer and her overall service and contributions to the United Kingdom. In 2002, she received the German Toepfer Foundation's Shakespeare Prize for distinguished contributions to British culture. Her work is translated into 28 languages.
This evening's reading by A.S. Byatt is jointly sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the department of literature at CMC, and the Athenaeum.
Tribal Gaming in California
Mark Macarro, tribal chairman of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians, was first elected in 1992 and is serving his sixth term on the council and fifth term as chairman. Macarro's vision for the Pechanga people is to see the band strengthen its political self-determination and economic self-sufficiency by developing a diversified economy for the Pechanga Band.
A national leader, Macarro represents Pechanga in the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and on the board of directors for the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA). Macarro was the only Native American to serve on the California Workforce Investment Act Board. Macarro is a traditional Luiseno singer, singing ceremonial Nukwaanish funeral songs at Indian wakes throughout area Indian reservations, and is a practitioner of Cham'teela, the Luiseno's native language. Chairman Macarro holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
In his Athenaeum talk, Macarro will speak about the triumphs and the difficulties that tribal gaming has faced in California, from the passage of Propositions 5 and 1A, to the issues that face gaming tribes here today. Chairman Macarro will discuss the unique ways that the Pechanga Tribe and other local tribes use gaming resources to protect and expand cultural programs and resources for tribal members. He continues to be a leader in his Tribe and a tireless voice for Native American rights. His discussion will provide unique insight into the successes that are happening in Indian Country today and is second in the series Native Americans in the 21st Century sponsored by the Rose Institute for State and Local Government.

In a business traditionally dominated by men, the Mariachi Divas are making big waves on the Los Angeles scene. Founded in 1999, this all-female sensation has appeared at the Arrowhead Pond and the Universal Amphitheatre backing Grammy winning artist Joan Sebastian, as well as playing at the L.A. County Fair and numerous city-wide festivals. Their concert at the Athenaeum in March 2004 generated such an enthusiastic response that they promised to return— and it is our good fortune to be able to host them again to celebrate the occasion of Cesar Chavez's birthday.
The Mariachi Divas are a truly multi-cultural ensemble, represented by women of Mexican, Samoan, Costa Rican, Cuban, Honduran, Panamanian and Anglo heritages. "Music is a way of uniting our cultural backgrounds. Our foundation and roots are mariachi, but we have added extra elements to reflect our diversity," says director, Cindy Shea. Their lively sounds incorporate jazz, cumbia, salsa, and meringue into traditional mariachi music. By combining a variety of different musical sources, Shea says that, in this respect, the group is, "like the female version of Ozomatli."
In addition to their audio success, the Mariachi Divas appear on film in the documentary, Viva El Mariachi (2005). But the Divas' success is not pure luck, nearly all the women have college degrees and several have degrees in music. These talented female musicians are professionals with a highly contagious spirit and energy.
The Mariachi Divas' guitars, violins, and trumpets, along with their unique ranchera-style vocals, are sure to sweep you off your feet. Celebrating Hispanic culture, the performance is part of Claremont McKenna's 2005 Cesar Chavez Commemoration.
Democracy, Democratization, and Violence: A Dialogue Between Adam Michnik and Jonathan Schell
ROBERT FAGGEN, moderator
7:00 p.m. Mary Pickford Auditorium
Adam Michnik, former dissident, historian, writer, lecturer and one of Poland's leading journalists, has been the editor in chief of the first independent Polish daily newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza, since its inception in 1989. It is now Poland's largest newspaper and one of Europe's most influential dailies. A life-long activist for human rights, he was detained many times between 1965 and 1986, spending a total of six years in prison for his opposition to the communist regime. An adviser to the Solidarity trade union during the 1980s, he was a negotiator for the Solidarity team during the Round Table negotiations of 1989 between representatives of the government, Solidarity and other groups that brought an end to communist rule in Poland. Michnik is the author of countless essays, articles and books, including Letters from Prison and Other Essays (1985), Letters from Freedom: Post-cold War Realities and Perspectives (1998), and The Church and the Left (1993). He has received numerous awards in recognition of his eloquently articulated advocacy of democracy and freedom of the press. He joins Claremont McKenna College this spring as a Podlich Distinguished Fellow.
Jonathan Schell is the Harold Willens Peace Fellow at the Nation Institute, where he is now based, and the Peace and Disarmament Correspondent for The Nation magazine. He has taught at Wesleyan University, Emory University, and Harvard University. From 1967 to 1987, Mr. Schell was a staff writer at The New Yorker magazine. His reflective work on nuclear armament, The Fate of the Earth (1982), became a best-seller and was hailed by The New York Times as "an event of profound historical moment." Mr. Schell's other books include The Village of Ben Sue (1967), The Time of Illusion: Vietnam (1976), The Real War: The Classic Reporting on the Vietnam War with a New Essay (1987), Observing the Nixon Years (1989), and The Unconquerable World: Power, Nonviolence, and the Will of the People (2003). He received the Lannan Award for Literary Non-fiction in 2000.
This event will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Mary Pickford Auditorium. Professor Robert Faggen will moderate.
The Cross-Straits Relations: Recent Developments and Future Prospects
Potential conflict in the Taiwan Straits continues to draw widespread attention. In 1996 there was a military crisis that compelled the United States to dispatch two aircraft carrier battle-groups to the area. Since then there have been occasions of tension. Many analysts regard the Taiwan Straits to be one of the hot-spots in today's world.
Dr. Hung-mao Tien will present an analysis on the current state of Taiwan-China relations across the Taiwan Straits. He will examine political, economic and military features that affect the relationship. As China is becoming a major economic and military power, and with rising political influence, many in Washington D.C. are anxious to see that the cross-Straits remains peaceful and stable. But will it be?
Hung-mao Tien has been Taiwan's Minister of Foreign Affairs and its Ambassador to the United Kingdom in recent years under the current administration of President Chen Shui-bian. Prior to that, he served as a senior policy advisor to former President Lee Teng-hui. He also served at the National Unification Council that dealt with Taiwan policy toward China.
Hung-mao Tien received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin, and taught for many years in the United States until the early 1990s when he returned to Taiwan, his homeland. He is author, editor, and co-editor of numerous publications on subjects related to Taiwan politics, Chinese politics, the cross-Strait relations, security in Asia, and democracy, among others. He has been an invited lecturer at Harvard, Stanford, U.C. Berkeley, Oxford and Cambridge. He also has spoken at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York and the French Institute of International Relations in Paris.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to host The Honorable Hung-mao Tien's visit to CMC as a Freeman Foundation Visiting Professor.
Cesar Chavez Commemoration Keynote speaker
The UFW: Past, Present, and Future
For more than thirty years Dolores Huerta was Cesar Chavez's most loyal and trusted advisor. Together they founded the United Farm Workers at a time when the AFL-CIO did not think farm workers could be organized. Her leadership was an integral part of the late 1960's grape boycott that led to collective bargaining agreements for the UFW.
Huerta became involved in the farm workers' movement in 1955, when she quit her job as a teacher because in her words, "I couldn't stand seeing kids come to class hungry and needing shoes. I thought I could do more by organizing farm workers than by trying to teach their hungry children."
She was a founding member of the Stockton chapter of the Community Service Organization, a grass roots organization started by Fred Ross, Sr. The CSO worked at the local level to promote change on issues ranging from segregation to police brutality. It was through her work with the CSO that Huerta met Cesar Chavez. In 1962, after the CSO turned down Chavez's suggestion to organize farm workers, Chavez and Huerta resigned from the CSO and formed the National Farm Workers Association, the predecessor to the UFW. At the time Huerta was a single mother of seven children.
In 1966, Dolores negotiated the first UFW contract with the Schenley Wine Company. This was the first time in the history of the United States that a negotiating committee comprised of farm workers reached a collective bargaining agreement with an agricultural corporation. Besides negotiating, Huerta also helped establish hiring halls, farm worker ranch committees, administered the contracts, and conducted over one hundred grievance procedures on the workers' behalf.
Huerta was an active lobbyist as well, working for key legislation in California including: removing the citizenship requirements from pension, and public assistance programs, allowing voters the right to vote in Spanish, and the right of individuals to take the driver's license examination in their native language. She was instrumental in securing Aid For Dependent Families for the unemployed and underemployed, and disability insurance for farm workers in the State of California. Robert F. Kennedy acknowledged her help in winning the 1968 California Democratic Presidential Primary moments before he was shot in Los Angeles.
In 1984 the California State Senate bestowed upon her the Outstanding Labor Leader Award and in 1993 Dolores was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. In 1998 she was one of three Ms. Magazine's, "Women of the Year" and the Ladies Home Journal ranked her one of the "100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century".
She is currently the Secretary-Treasurer of the United Farm Workers, the Vice-President for the Coalition for Labor Union Women, the Vice-President of the California AFL-CIO, and a board member for the Fund for the Feminist Majority. In 2003 she founded the Dolores Huerta Foundation to provide leadership training in low-income, under-represented communities.
Dolores Huerta is the keynote speaker for The Claremont Colleges annual commemoration of the birthday of Cesar Chavez and is sponsored by the 5-college Cesar Chavez commemoration committee.

Scouting Report-I first put JPP in the top of my first round of my mock draft about a month and a half ago. You watch him play, and it seems like he has a gear that the rest of the players don't. Physically he's imposing, with a long frame and arms and you can see that he's built to put on more quality weight if he needs to. From a technical standpoint, I see a guy right now who is dominating one on ones mainly due to an overwhelming athletic advantage. He doesn't have a great array of pass rush moves, but to this point he hasn't needed to. An explosive first step, adequate power, excellent vision and closing speed are what his strengths. At the snap he gets up into the offensive lineman, makes his read and he's gone. He doesn't do well with double teams, and that has a lot to do with the fact that he just doesn't have a ton of moves yet. Once he develops a second and third pass rush move he'll be even better. Right now, you watch him play in run support, and you see a guy who can get down the line and catch running backs in the back field and is a good finisher on his tackles.
Draft Status-I think once it all plays out, and teams get to see JPP workout, the rest of the world will catch up and he will be a solid first round pick. The only debate for me is, compared to guys like Carlos Dunlap or Derrick Morgan, where will he end up?
Final Analysis-Might not be a player in this draft with more upside than JPP. He was productive in his one year at USF, but the fact he's only got one year after two excellent years at JC, his lack of experience has to be a consideration. For some, where he'll play is an issue. As he is now, at 260lbs, he could play a 4-3 DE or a 3-4 rush OLB, so that's not a concern for me. The idea he could put on 15lbs and play full time 4-3 DE is interesting. Like most DE's who may transition to OLB, his coverage ability is an unknown, but his athleticism isn't. His effort isn't. These things are both huge plusses for him. As much talk as he gets about his ability to rush the passer, I love the way he reads the run play and doesn't shy away from being physical against the run. That sort of mentality would serve him well in a 3-4. He's a very good tackler, and as I said, when this kid gets in shorts and works out, I think people are going to be impressed with his measureables.
Reminds me of: Andre Carter, DE Washington Redskins. Carter is a disruptive player and has been that way as both a 4-3 DE and a 3-4 OLB, and JPP can be that same kind of player. He can come after guys with his hand on the ground and he can play standing up as well. He's bigger than Carter and more athletic, but I can see his career path being rather similar.

Mechanical Thermostats
The cheapest and simplest thermostats still use a pair of metallic strips to gauge and manipulate the temperature, and they have a basic mechanical dial or lever to change the temperature. Some homeowners who are not comfortable with using electronic devices may choose these old-fashioned thermostats. However, they are often unreliable and slow to respond, potentially leading to discomfort and wasted energy.
