Notre Dame: tragedy and hope: the storied Catholic university may have honored pro-abortion-"rights" President Barack Obama, but this "honor" gave Catholic and non-Catholic pro-lifers an opportunity to champion principle over expediency.
At the University of Notre Dame, opposition to the granting of an honorary Doctor of Laws degree to commencement speaker Barack Obama, president of the United States and the nation's most prominent proponent of abortion "rights" and embryonic stem-cell research, was intense, both within and beyond the borders of the impressive South Bend campus. The invitation sparked a nationwide controversy that resembled, in some ways, a family quarrel.
"My father said he felt like a member of the family had died," said Mary Daly, a junior at the university this year and president of the 1,000-member Notre Dame Right to Life group. Her brother, John, graduated from the university last year, and both their parents are Notre Dame alumni. One of their grandparents also attended the storied Catholic university, and a large number of aunts and uncles are proud alumni. "I never wanted to go anywhere else but Notre Dame," said Daly. "Before I even knew or understood the concept of college, I wanted to go to Notre Dame."
But as this year's senior class was preparing for its graduation ceremony, Daly was lending her active, moral, and prayerful support to the graduates, somewhere between 30 and 40, who chose to skip the commencement ceremonies to protest the honor bestowed on Obama. Other seniors decorated their graduation caps with a depiction of a cross and a pair of baby feet to protest the abortion policies Obama champions. Daly cited the statement of Bishop John D'Arcy of the Fort WayneSouth Bend diocese to explain how Notre Dame's mission and Catholic identity were being undermined by the honor paid to Obama. "In the words of Bishop D'Arcy, the administration is seeking prestige over truth," she said. "I think that statement still resounds."
The Dalys were part of ND Response, an ad hoc coalition of 11 student organizations including the Knights of Columbus, the College Republicans, and the Saint Thomas More Society. On the night before the May 17 commencement, Bishop D'Arcy led a candlelight prayer vigil for the graduating seniors and their families. On the following day, as the graduates were gathering for the 2 p.m. commencement, ND Response held a rally at the main quad of the campus. The speakers included Chris Godfrey, a Notre Dame Law School graduate and former offensive guard for the New York Giants.
There were also protests outside the main gate, led by nationally known abortion foes Alan Keyes and Randall Terry. Also protesting was Norma McCorvey, "Jane Roe" of the infamous Roe v. Wade case that overturned anti-abortion laws throughout the country. (She has since become a fervent foe of abortion.) She was arrested with about 40 other people for criminal trespass, when they entered the campus to protest. And they were only part of the storm of controversy that has surrounded the university since the announcement in March that Obama would be the commencement speaker and recipient of an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Hundreds of thousands signed online petitions of protest. Bishop D'Arcy was quick to say he would break with custom by not attending the graduation. Since then, at least 70 Catholic bishops across the country have criticized the decision.
In an interview with the National Catholic Register, Archbishop Raymond Burke, Prefect of the Vatican's highest court, the Apostolic Signatura, said that Notre Dame should "come clean. Is it Catholic or isn't it? A Catholic institution, a Catholic university, cannot give honors to someone who is a promoter of things that are opposed to the most fundamental beliefs of Catholics."
Harvard Law Professor and former ambassador to the Vatican Mary Ann Glendon, who was to receive the university's highest honor, the Laetare Medal, during the commencement ceremonies for her work in the pro-life cause, announced in April that she was turning down the honor. Glendon cited, as have many others, a policy statement adopted by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, stating, "Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles."
The Abortion President
As president, Obama has already lifted restrictions on federal funding for abortion and for embryonic stem-cell research. He has opposed bans, upheld by the Supreme Court, on late-term, partial-birth abortions. As a state senator in Illinois, he opposed legislation to require protection for infants born alive by abortion. Both as candidate and as president, he has declared his support of the proposed Freedom of Choice Act, which would declare abortion a fundamental right and prohibit any restriction or regulation of it. But at Notre Dame the president seemed to step away from his rigid adherence to abortion anywhere, anytime, indicating that he would approve a law that would allow doctors and nurses who oppose abortion for conscientious reasons to refuse to carry out abortions: "Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause," he said in his commencement address. But the president has already moved against existing protections, said Charles Rice, professor emeritus at Notre Dame Law School.
"The Obama administration has already taken the first step in rescinding those rights," Rice said. The president has rescinded regulations the Bush administration had put in place last year for implementing a federal statute that denies funding to healthcare facilities that do not protect conscience rights of their employees, the professor said. "Think of the thousands of Notre Dame graduates who are in health care. And this university is conferring its honor to a guy who is going to deprive them of conscience rights." Rice, who has been teaching at the university since 1969, believes the university's president, Rev. John Jenkins, and the Board of Fellows that govern the university have given scandal to Notre Dame and the Catholic faith with their choice of commencement speaker and honoree. "Father Jenkins and the trustees who supported this decision should resign in shame," he said.
Ironically, when Obama gave the first commencement speech of his presidency a few days earlier at Arizona State University, he was given no degree. University officials decided to withhold the honor because "his body of work is yet to come." The president made a joking reference to that in his speech at Notre Dame.
"I don't know if you're aware of this, but these honorary degrees are apparently pretty hard to come by," he said. "So far I'm only one for two as president." While acknowledging that "at some level, the views of the two camps are irreconcilable," he urged those on both sides of the abortion divide to wage their battles without demonizing their adversaries. He was interrupted by applause several times as he spoke of discovering "at least the possibility of common ground.... So let us work together to reduce the number of women seeking abortions, let's reduce unintended pregnancies," he said. "Let's make adoption more available. Let's provide care and support for women who carry their children to term."
But common ground was easier described than discovered. A few hecklers shouting "Abortion is murder!" and other slogans were removed from the auditorium as Obama spoke.
And even though it was surely no surprise that the National Right to Life Committee was among the organizations to speak out against the invitation, a letter from National Right to Life vice president Anthony J. Lauinger might have caught the attention of Notre Dame officials because of its bluntness. Lauinger is a Notre Dame alumnus, as are seven of his children (an eighth child is currently a student at South Bend). Expressing his outrage at "a betrayal of the university's mission and an affront to all who believe in the sanctity and dignity of human life," Lauinger wrote: "I have apologized to my eight children for the poor guidance I provided them when I encouraged them to enroll at Notre Dame."
But many Notre Dame students and alumni supported the school's decision. Kenneth Woodward, for 38 years the religion editor for Newsweek magazine, described himself as a Notre Dame alumnus who is both "adamantly pro-life" and "greatly pleased" that Obama was chosen as this year's commencement speaker. In an op-ed piece in the Washington Post, Woodward noted that six other U.S. presidents, dating back to Dwight Eisenhower and including George W. Bush, have addressed the graduates at Notre Dame. "Politically, I had disagreements with each of them," he wrote. "Yet I never supposed that by granting them the commencement podium the university was signaling its approval of their policies."
Indeed, even previous recipients of the university's Laetare Medal have not upheld the Catholic faith, including the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice William Brennan and the late Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Brennan's award came in 1969, three and a half years before he became part of the 7-2 majority in the Roe v. Wade ruling that promulgated a constitutional right to abortion. But Moynihan's was bestowed in 1992, long after the New York senator made clear his "pro-choice" position. As Woodward noted, Cardinal John O'Connor of New York flew to South Bend that spring for a meeting of Catholic bishops at Notre Dame, but refused to set foot on the campus in protest.
Last year Notre Dame was again the center of controversy when a play called The Vagina Monologues, celebrating gay and lesbian sexuality, was performed on campus. Father Jenkins decided to allow the production, but required that each performance be followed by a panel discussion in which the Catholic viewpoint was presented.
The University of Notre Dame was founded in 1844 by the Congregation of the Holy Cross. The order ceded ownership in 1967, however, to a Board of Fellows, made up of six religious and six lay people. Neither the bishop nor the Congregation of the Holy Cross had authority to veto the invitation to Obama, but apparently the Superior General of the order would not have done so if he could. "President Obama, the University of Notre Dame is honored to have you, as President of the United States of America, deliver the commencement address to the graduating class of 2009," Rev. Hugh W. Cleary wrote to the U.S. president in a letter from Rome. "Personally, in so many ways, I admire you as a great American, a person endowed with extraordinarily well developed intellectual gifts and, in my opinion, a man whose enormous compassion characterizes the goodness of his heart."
Before he was done praising Obama, Rey. Cleary did invite the president to "rethink, through prayerful wrestling with your own conscience, your stated positions on the vital 'life issues' of our day, particularly in regard to abortion, embryonic forms of stem cell research and your position on the Freedom of Choice Act before Congress." Many Catholics, both lay and clerical, are not eagerly awaiting the outcome of a wrestling match between Obama and his conscience.
"Whatever else is clear," said Cardinal Francis George, archbishop of Chicago and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, "it is clear that Notre Dame didn't understand what it means to be Catholic when they issued this invitation."
Good Out of Controversy?
Catholic pundits have also weighed in on the controversy. Pat Buchanan, for example, published a column entitled, "Is Notre Dame Still Catholic?" Professor Rice said he hopes the controversy will force a reexamination of the decision that came out of the Land o' Lakes (Wisconsin) Conference more than 40 years ago to make Catholic colleges and universities autonomous.
"I think the good that will come out of this is that the board will reconsider the decision in 1967 to sever its relationship with the Catholic Church," Rice said.
The proclamation of the honorary Doctor of Laws degree praised Obama for having "opened a new era of hope in a country long divided by its history of slavery and racism" and as one "committed to human rights and the global common good." Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry, recently arrested for criminal trespass during a protest demonstration on the Notre Dame campus, found that praise ironic. "The fact that Obama promotes child-killing around the world makes him the adversary--not the champion--of the 'global common good,'" said Terry in an e-mail to pro-life supporters.
Michele Sagala, who grew up in Hammond, Indiana, said she had dreamed of graduating from Notre Dame for as long as she can remember. "I think pretty much all Catholics in the U.S. have a soft place in their hearts for Notre Dame," she said. But on May 17, when most of her classmates donned their caps and gowns and were being saluted by the president of the United States, the 22-year-old senior was elsewhere on the campus, prayerfully protesting the honor her alma mater was bestowing on Obama.
"I'd been looking forward to it for years," she said of her graduation. "But I think it's more important that we stand for the sanctity of life and as a witness for those whose lives have been taken by abortion--for those who would have been graduating this year but won't, because they weren't even born."
But while she opposed the university's decision, Sagala remains a loyal daughter of Notre Dame. "I think this is what Notre Dame has been preparing me for, taking a stand for our faith," she said. "There is so much good happening at this university. This one decision doesn't reflect all that's going on here, how people are concerned with the sanctity of life and with our Catholic identity."
"The students are the best thing about this place," said Rice. "These kids are great." His esteem for the nation's Catholic bishops was a bit more subdued. Those who spoke out against the invitation were roughly one-third of all the American prelates, he said. "So the question is, where are the bishops?" he asked.

At least 4 gunmen open fire on home
CORPUS CHRISTI - More than 80 shell casings littered a Westside Corpus Christi street Friday afternoon after a shooting killed a 21-year-old man, sent three children to the hospital and injured a suspect.
Danny Villarreal was pronounced dead at Christus Spohn Hospital Memorial after police said at least four suspects exited their vehicles and opened fire on Villarreal's home using four different types of firearms.
In the process they wounded three children -- Dillon Villarreal, 1, Jordan Villarreal, 2, and Tristan Ross, 5 -- who were inside the house in the 2600 block of Segrest Street.
"There is no doubt this was a planned attack," Police Chief Bryan Smith said.
A 40-year-old man was shot in the chest and later dropped off at the hospital. He is being treated as a suspect and is under guard at the hospital, Smith said.
Police, called to the scene at about 1:20 p.m., believe the suspects fled in several vehicles including a green Dodge Ram extended cab pickup and a blue Chevrolet Cobalt.
Authorities said they believe Friday's shooting may be in retaliation for a shooting between two vehicles late Thursday night in the 4700 block of Odem Drive.
A black BMW with darkly tinted windows parked in the driveway of the Segrest Street home matches descriptions that witnesses gave of a vehicle in the previous shooting.
That shooting left a 46-year-old man, who police said was a bystander hit by stray gunfire, with minor injuries. Police impounded the BMW Friday.
Smith stopped short of saying Friday's incident was gang-related, but added it is very likely.
"Whenever you have a shooting of this nature it's typically gang on gang," Smith said.
On Friday, as police marked evidence on Segrest Street, bent blinds on some of the shattered front windows fluttered with the wind, giving onlookers brief glimpses into the house where the three children were struck by shotgun pellets, police said.
Hospital officials said they could not release the children's conditions because they are minors, but police said all three are expected to survive. Villarreal lived at the house with the children's mother and was the father of at least two of the three children, said police Capt. Tim Wilson.
The children's mother was home at the time of the shooting but was not injured, Wilson said.
Detectives knocked on neighbors' doors and talked to potential witnesses. At one point, an animal control officer called by police pulled up to the house and removed a male pit bull from the backyard.
While officers collected evidence, some residents peeked out from their screen doors and sat on front porches. Others ventured onto the sidewalk and up to the yellow crime scene tape that roped off the white wood house and part of the street.
Many of the residents spoke freely about the crime in their neighborhood but refused to give their names for fear of retaliation.
District Attorney Carlos Valdez, who said he felt he had to visit the scene, said his office will work closely with police in the case.
"We will do whatever we can do to make sure that animals like this are not allowed to roam the streets," Valdez said. "It's shocking ... We can't take this anymore."
Smith said nine detectives were working on the case Friday night.
"(The suspects) will not get any rest, because we will find them," he said. "We will hunt them down and put them in jail."
How to help
Police are looking for a green Dodge Ram extended cab pickup and a blue Chevrolet Cobalt in Fridays shooting. Anyone with information about it or a shooting Thursday night can call Crime Stoppers at 888-8477.

Michael Petrilli's charge that the recent elections confirm "[t]eachers unions remain the Goliath to the school reformers' David" is neither a brave claim to make in a paper serving a right-to-work area of the U.S., nor an accurate portrayal of the lessons of the elections or the balance of power in education reform. [1]
Let's begin with a question that challenges Petrilli's initial claim: If teachers unions are the primary or one of the primary forces at the root of the failures of public education, why do right-to-work states such as my home state of South Carolina (where unions have essentially no power in teachers' hiring, firing, pay, or tenure) also sit historically and currently at or near the bottom of test data we routinely use to evaluate school quality?
And let's add another question: Since the most prominent correlations between unionization and student achievement show that unionized states have high test scores and non-unionized states have low test scores, why do self-proclaimed "reformers" such as Petrilli ignore that school quality data are primarily reflections of poverty and affluence?
In part, the answers reveal union bashing, "bad" teacher refrains, and finger pointing at the "status quo" to be straw man arguments, distractions from the real problems and solutions.
Wrong Reform, Wrong Policies, Wrong Leadership
Like his misleading assertion about unions, Petrilli's suggestion that a battle exists between reformers and their "opponents" is false. The reform movement that Petrilli associates himself with includes politicians, think tanks, and advocates constituted of people with little or no experience or expertise in education, such as Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and billionaire Bill Gates.
Educators and scholars rejecting these so-called reforms are not avoiding reform or accountability, but rejecting policies discredited by evidence.
Accountability-based education reform driven by standards and high-stakes testing has existed since the 1890s. A century of evidence reveals that accountability has failed miserably, often entrenching the problems instead of addressing them.
Yet, reformers such as Petrilli, Duncan, and Gates persist in calling for doubling down on the accountability process with new standards, more tests, and misguided assaults on teachers, although public school failures have nothing to do with a lack of accountability or the quality of standards and high-stakes tests.
I have spent 18 years teaching high school English (nearly two decades in the heart of the accountability era, the 1980s and 1990s) followed by another 11 years in higher education working with teachers and future teachers across the Upstate of SC. Below, I want, like Anthony Cody blogging at Education Week, "to draw some lessons for our side"—the side with experience and expertise calling for genuine change.
Public schools reflect and perpetuate the inequity of opportunity found in society. Thus, the only lessons we should take after the recent election are that we need education reform grounded in equity and opportunity, not accountability, and that must occur at three levels—society, school policy, and classroom practices—including, for example, the following:
• Social reform seeking equity and opportunity for children and their families by insuring access to health, dental, and eye care; food security; and stable jobs with strong wages.
• School policy seeking equity and opportunity by addressing teacher assignments (impoverished children and children of color are assigned disproportionately to inexperienced and un-/under-certified teachers), de-tracking course offerings, fully funding essential educational structures regardless of community characteristics, reforming discipline policies that disproportionately alienate and punish marginalized students, and dismantling accountability structures based on a perpetual (and costly) process of creating new standards and "better" high-stakes tests.
• Classroom practices honoring equity and opportunity by rejecting teaching-to-the-test, offering all students rich and vibrant learning opportunities based on student interests and needs, dismantling fragmented content-based course structures for interdisciplinary courses, and shifting instruction away from teacher-centered practices and toward student-centered invitations that require students to be active and thoughtful instead of compliant.
For this shift in education reform to occur, however, politicians, policy advocates, and the public must face one important lesson: Education reform is not a battle, as Petrilli suggests, between change agents and defenders of the status quo. Education reform must become a continuous collaboration.
Public education is not failing because of unions, "bad" teachers, or an inadequate accountability system.
We are failing public education, and then also our children and our democracy by allowing the wrong reformers and failed policies to mask that schools, like society, remain too often overburdened by an inequity of opportunity, based not on the merit of anyone's abilities or effort but on the coincidences of birth that in fact too often become destiny.
[1] This was submitted to the Charlotte Observer as a rebuttal to Petrilli; UPDATE: Run in a slightly edited version December 9, 2012.

DK Quilt Guild: A place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too!Two weeks ago I showed you how to start a quilt by making a block. Today's lesson is on something I long found mysterious: how to finish a quilt by making and applying binding. The binding is the finishing edge of the quilt. A beautiful quilt deserves a well-made binding.
There are many ways to edge your quilt, but I will focus on the double-fold, straight-grain binding that is used on most quilts with straight edges.
Cutting the Binding
The first task, after choosing your fabric, is to decide how much binding you need. To get all the way around, start with the (width + length) x 2. For example, if you have a lap quilt that is 45" x 60", you need (45 + 60) x 2 = 210". Now add 12" for the corners and the joint. That makes 210 + 12 = 222".
How much yardage do you need for that? It depends on how WIDE you want your binding. Most references will recommend cutting 2.5" strips selvage to selvage.
If I need 222", and I assume I have 40" selvage to selvage (width of fabric), I need 6 strips to make the binding strip. (222/40 = 5.55. I need to round up to 6.) This is 6 x 40" = 240". If I only cut 5 strips, I would only have 200", not enough. And really, it's better to have too much than not enough.
(If you're not cutting selvage to selvage, use the length of strips you'll actually have. So if my strips will be 53", I would use 222/53 = 4.19, and round up to cutting 5 strips. Due to yardage available to me, I've often cut my binding along the selvage instead of edge to edge. I've never had a problem because of that.)
If I cut my strips 2.5" wide, I need 6 x 2.5", or 15" of fabric. If I am buying new fabric for the binding, I would buy a half yard. Again, better to have a little too much. But even a king-sized quilt won't need more than a yard!
My personal preference is a narrow, tight binding, so I cut mine at 2.25". You get to decide your own binding width, which may depend on how you finish it.
As always, press the fabric before cutting. Unless the selvage puckers and distorts the fabric, there is NO need to cut it off, either before or after cutting strips. It will be cut off after you've sewn strips together.
Square up the fabric and fold edge to edge. Depending on the ruler you use, you may need to fold a second time. Cut into strips.
When I cut strips for this and many other things, I like to use my June Tailor Shape Cut Ruler. I am not big on gadgets, but this is one I've found tremendously useful in getting accurate cuts. Here is a video demonstrating the product. (I have no affiliation with the company!)
Making the Binding
Once you have your strips cut, press them in half lengthwise, wrong sides together.
The first 4:15 of this video gives an excellent demo of how to prep the strips and make the binding. Just note, she uses the term "bias binding" a couple of times when what she really means is "bias seam." Also note, once the full binding strip is made, you should press the short seams open, and then re-press at the joints in half, wrong sides together.
Applying the Binding
Cut a 45 degree angle on one end, as shown here. Lay the prepared binding all around the perimeter of the quilt before stitching it on. Check that the seams do not fall on the corners. It isn't a fatal flaw if it does, but it is easier to finish nicely if you avoid them. Once you've decided a good starting point, pin it with a pin or two just to keep the whole thing from shifting.
Use a 1/4" seam allowance. Jaybird Quilts says
leave a 8" or so tail
sew the binding to your quilt sandwich a 1/4" seam
on the right side of quilt
raw edges of binding to raw edges of quilt.
The link for Jaybird Quilts also shows how to make the final joint. I just did this for my newest project, and it worked great.
Finishing the Binding
The nicest finish, if you are able, is to turn the binding to the back of the quilt and stitch by hand, using a blind or hemming stitch. Julie at Jaybirds.com has a video to give tips on this.
Here is a photo of me working on binding by hand. You can see the needle travels underneath, so there is only a small stitch on the top. The thread should match the binding color to disappear most completely.
If you prefer to do a machine finish, refer to the Missouri Quilts video above for tips. She uses a decorative stitch to finish, with the binding first applied to the back of the quilt rather than the front. An alternative, which I've used many times, is that shown by Judy Laquidara at Patchwork Times.
This photo shows me finishing the binding by machine. The TOP of the checkerboard is showing. I stitched in the ditch using a top thread to disappear as much as possible (in this case, I used green since it snugged up against the green binding and matched half of the squares.) The bobbin thread should match the binding, as you will stitch directly on it.
Save leftover binding strips in one place. You can piece mismatched binding together to finish scrap quilts with a playful edge, or finish utility quilts and mats without regard to coloring.
How has your year in quilting gone? Any great successes, failures, frustrations, lessons learned?

I was hoping that Kuebler would have some interesting stories to tell about these makers, but in the German edition at least, MatchMate, Tony Trabert and Scepter, as well as Lob-ster for that matter, were all among the brands that were given token coverage only, with little more than the address of the maker/distributor and a list of model names under each entry, and no illustration or descriptive text to go with them. My guess (hope?) is that he went into more detail about this class of makers in the later American edition; which would account for the massive page count inflation.
I know Lob-Ster started as a manufacturer of ball machines, and diversified into tennis racquets briefly circa 1983-1987. Wasn't MatchMate a big manufacturer of ball machines or nets, or court equipment of some sort, before also making the leap into graphite racquet manufacture before then bowing out? When composite technology caught on, it was a madhouse with lots of "better mousetraps" coming from the freedom brought with the new material and manufacturing technology. Unfortunately, Prince Manufacturing held the patent to the headsize spectrum, so everybody had to license and pay royalties to Howard Head. That guy was a wickedly shrewd businessman! Of course, these smaller companies seldom could afford advertising, or giving sponsorships, and distribution was often quite sparse. At the same time, the bigger companies could afford more money for R&D for more favorable profit/overhead per unit, and pump in the money for advertising and sponsorship to get the name known and desired.
Even technically interesting and decent-playing frames like the Sceptre were doomed from the start.

TAPPER: Well, I've heard two arguments from Republicans this week. One is, why is Obama getting the credit for the Iraq withdrawal, given that this was a status-of-forces agreement as negotiated by President Bush? Why is Obama getting credit for what Bush did?
And then the other argument, which is, boy, it's so weak what Obama's doing, abiding by what Bush negotiated. And they both seem rather incoherent when you put them -- when you combine them.
The same with Libya. I've heard people fault -- Republicans fault President Obama for being weak on Libya, getting involved too late, following the internationalist perspective. And then, in the middle of the campaign, when it didn't look like it was going so well, there was a lot of criticism about the fact that he was -- the -- the quagmire that the U.S. was being bogged down in. And I just feel like the Republicans need to come up with a more coherent criticism against the president.
WILL: They need to answer three questions. How many troops, for how long, for what purpose? And I don't think they can answer any of the three questions.
DOWD: Well, I think -- the Republicans I think have made a series of mistakes over the last three weeks in how they've responded. I think they have a tin ear to where the American public is. They had a tin ear on Wall Street. They should have adopted sort of the anti-Wall Street message and made it Main Street against Wall Street. They should have basically totally congratulated him on the Libya, because Barack Obama -- this was his deal, and he got it done. And, three, two-thirds of the American public want the troops out of Iraq, don't believe it's made the country safer, and the Republicans ought to say, "Job well done. Let's focus on the country." That's where I think the Republicans are off.
AMANPOUR: Let's talk about tin ear or not. I'm going to bring in Frank Luntz, who's a Republican pollster. And I want to ask you about -- you were watching the debate in Las Vegas, and particularly the sort of fights element between Romney and Perry. What did the people who you were watching it with, what did they think about that development?
LUNTZ: They thought it looked more like Jerry Springer than it did a presidential campaign. And I need you to compare this to 2008. When it was Obama versus Clinton, the two of them were so careful about what they said that if either of them started to -- to be in any way negative, you saw that the media shut them down, that their grassroots shut them down. Nobody wanted them to attack each other.
Now, in 2011, it seems like the media is pushing the Republicans to attack each other, and they're very glad to do it. There's a message in here. When Rick Perry started to go after Mitt Romney in his very first debate, he was at 28 percent in the polls. Now he's down to 12 percent.
There's a lesson. He has a great record to defend in Texas, but he doesn't know how to do it. Republicans and particularly independents don't want to see these candidates going at each other. They want to know what they're for, not what they're against.
AMANPOUR: So, George, did Rick Perry, despite those risks that Frank articulates, did he bring himself up to par where he needed to be in this new debate?

Lawrence Thomas Guy (born March 17, 1990) is an American football defensive end who plays for the Baltimore Ravens in the National Football League (NFL). Prior to being drafted by the Green Bay Packers, Guy played college football at Arizona State University. He has also played with the Indianapolis Colts and San Diego Chargers.
High school career[edit]
Guy attended Western High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he recorded 238 tackles (171 solo), 30.5 sacks and three fumble recoveries in his three seasons. As a senior in 2007, he totaled 102 tackles (69 solo), 15.5 quarterback sacks and one fumble recovery.
Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Guy was listed as the No. 13 defensive tackle prospect in the nation.[1] He committed to the Sun Devils on December 19, 2007, choosing ASU over Arizona, Michigan, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Tennessee.
College career[edit]
As a true freshman, Guy played in all 12 games of the season, starting the final eight. He totaled 44 tackles (17 solo), 10.0 tackles for loss (minus 22 yards), two sacks (minus nine yards) and one fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown. Guy's 44 tackles were the second-highest among Pac-10 defensive tackles on the season.
Guy subsequently earned consensus All-Freshman honors, as he was named to FWAA′s Freshman All-America team,[2] The Sporting News′ All-Freshman team,[3] and College Football News′ All-Freshman first team.[4]
Professional career[edit]
Green Bay Packers[edit]
Guy was drafted in the seventh round (233rd overall) of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers.[5] He spent the season on injured reserve. Guy was one of the final cuts of the 2012 season, but he was re-signed to the practice squad on September 3, 2012.
Indianapolis Colts[edit]
On October 17, 2012, the Colts signed Guy from the Packers' practice squad. In 9 games with the Colts, he recorded 21 tackles (15 solo) and 1 sack. The following season, he was cut after the preseason finale against the Cincinnati Bengals and signed with the Washington Redskins' practice squad.
On September 24, 2013, the Colts re-signed Guy off of the Redskins' practice squad.[6] He was waived on October 7, 2013.
San Diego Chargers[edit]
On October 8, 2013, Guy was claimed off waivers by the San Diego Chargers.
Baltimore Ravens[edit]
On September 24, 2014, Guy was claimed off waivers by the Baltimore Ravens after spending the first 3 weeks of the regular seasons with the Chargers.

On May 14, 2012, the New York Department of Financial Services (the NYDFS) announced the emergency promulgation of Insurance Regulation 200. The emergency regulation requires all life insurers doing business in New York to immediately begin implementing significant new procedures to identify unclaimed death benefits and locate beneficiaries so that prompt payments of benefits can be made. Regulation 200 will become effective June 14, 2012, which is 30 days after it was filed with the Secretary of State, and it remains in effect for 90 days thereafter.
Last July, the NYDFS had issued a letter to insurers pursuant to New York Insurance Law § 308 (the 308 Letter). The New York 308 Letter required life insurance companies and fraternal benefit societies doing business in New York (insurers) to conduct a cross check of their entire block of business against the U.S. Social Security Administration's Death Master File (DMF), or another comparable database, using "exact" match criteria. Every life insurance policy and annuity contract (together, a policy), and retained asset account (account) issued by a New York domestic insurer or delivered or issued for delivery in New York by an authorized foreign insurer since 1986 was subject to the requirement, with certain exceptions. Insurers were required to pay any unpaid death benefit payments that may have been due under the policies and accounts and to submit monthly reports to the NYDFS on their progress in bucketing, paying and/or escheating amounts due and payable with regard to valid matches against the DMF.
Now Regulation 200 has expanded, rather severely and without providing an opportunity for notice and comment, the scope of the procedures that insurers must immediately undertake to identify valid death claims and pay beneficiaries. Regulation 200 also significantly changes the scope of retained asset accounts of foreign insurers that are subject to the regulation from that contained in the 308 Letter (i.e., accounts delivered or issued for delivery in New York) to "any account established under or as a result of" a life insurance policy or annuity contract delivered or issued for delivery in New York. The emergency regulation's key requirements that go into effect on June 14 are as follows...

need help with RAID
Just wondering if anyone knows how to safely deattach 2 drives from RAID 1 (mirroring) without losing any data
How do you mean? Are you moving your motherboard to a different case? Are you changing motherboards? Please be more specific as to what you want to accomplish.
because with RAID 1 you only get half the storage space of 2 hard drives, I decided to use them seperate without any RAID configuration, so I am not really sure how it's done, when I go to RAID configuration and select delete RAID it gives me warning message that all the data will be deleted. what do I do then?
If You have Promise on-board RAID controller, You can safely disconnect both drives. You can then put them in the motherboard's ATA connectors (the ones You have your CD drives connected). It will boot from either of the drives. DO NOT delete the array from the BIOS, as it will overwrite the MBR on the drives. Just unplug the drives. The array will delete itself from the BIOS.
NOTE that this applies only to Promise controllers. I have of no experience of Highpoint or other manufacturer controllers.
cool, thanks a lot for your help. I do however have Highpoint, but it probably works the same way.

The ideal construction OTDR for everyday field testing in any access network as well as in LAN/WAN networks.
EXFO's FTB-720 OTDR helps you boost test productivity for inside-plant applications. Its exceptional 0.8 m event dead zone enables you to easily locate and characterize all events between the transmitter and the central office's fiber distribution panel. This feature also comes in handy in access and LAN/WAN network applications, where events are usually closely spaced.
The FTB-720 model combines singlemode and multimode functionalities, ideal for private/premises/enterprise network testing. It offers the industry's shortest dead zones, as well as lightning-fast acquisitions. Test multimode fiber within premises or singlemode fiber between premises—all with a single OTDR unit—and maximize your return on investment.
The singlemode model now features a filtered 1625 nm port for in-service troubleshooting of live networks, such as P2P, FTTx and PON. The singlemode model is a versatile day-to-day tester for any access networks.
Streamline data acquisition in the field and report generation back at the office with EXFO's powerful OTDR software. Choose from two testing approaches: Auto mode or Advanced mode.
Ideal for basic, repetitive applications, the Auto mode shortens the learning curve for new OTDR users.
For complete control over your test routine, select the Advanced mode. Manually set all acquisition parameters, including the index of refraction (IOR) and helix factor. Save time and get better results by fine-tuning acquisition parameters on the fly.
For installation and maintenance crews, working outdoors goes with the territory. Switch between black and white display backgrounds as needed, and enjoy great legibility, even in the brightest daylight.
This feature combines file autonaming with subset cable and fiber incrementation.
This series of platform-based software testing tools enhance the value of the FTB-1 platform, providing additional testing capabilities without the need for additional modules or units.
The EXpert VoIP Test Tools generates a voice-over-IP call directly from the test platform to validate performance during service turn-up and troubleshooting.
The EXpert IP Test Tools integrates six commonly used datacom test tools into one platform-based application to ensure field technicians are prepared for a wide-range of testing needs.
This live-network packet capture utility makes it possible to look "inside" the packets and obtain data such as transmission time, source, destination, protocol type, etc. Users can then diagnose a problem or root out suspicious behavior. Wireshark is a standard utility on all FTB-1 platforms.
This TCP performance testing tool can create TCP and UDP data streams which measure the throughput of a network that is carrying them. Thanks to various user-definable parameters, technicians can rely on JPerf to optimize or tune a network under test.
NetStumbler verifies wireless network configurations, enabling field techicians to identify areas that have poor coverage or wireless interference, and helping them to aim antennas for full effect and find unauthorized access points.
With iLOOP you can test two fibers at once with a simple loopback jump, and reduce your testing time by 50% in no time.
This feature is very useful in field applications such as DAS/FTTA and where there's a large number of fibers to test (Data Centers).
The FTB-720 is the ideal construction OTDR for everyday testing in any access network as well as in LAN/WAN networks.

Trade unions at Cochin Port Trust have come out against the Union government policy of leasing out port property on a long-term basis to private companies under development models like BOT (Build, Operate, Transfer) and PPP (Public-Private Partnership).
"… giving waterfront, valuable port land on nominal rent basis for long period is to be discouraged. The social negative impact out of these practices is multifarious," said trade union leaders in their memorandum to the Parliamentary Committee on Transport, Tourism and Culture chaired by Sitaram Yechury.
The memorandum, submitted on Saturday by Cochin Port Staff Association chairman P.M. Mohammed Haneef, and Cochin Employees' Organisation general convenor C.D. Nandakumar, pointed out how it had become a practice with major ports in India to lease out land for nominal returns.
"The experience clearly revealed that these are highly detrimental to the national economy, interest of the ports and interest of the workers," the memorandum said.
The trade unions are particularly irked by the way agreements put the onus of building infrastructure on such property on the port authorities concerned while parties that lease the land reap the returns from such projects.
They gave the example of the International Container Transshipment Terminal project here, the agreement for which has left the onus of dredging and maintaining a14.5-metre draft on the Port Trust.
Though the project targeted handling 7.5 lakh Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) of cargo in 2013, the actual output has only been 3.33 lakh TEUs. This has resulted in the port getting a royalty of only Rs.53.39 crore against the dredging cost of Rs.122.58 crore during 2012-13.
The current level of expenditure on maintenance, dredging for ICTT contrasts with what would have been the normal expenditure of between Rs.30 crore and Rs. 35 crore a year. The port has been forced to find money for maintaining the channel depth because the agreement with the ICTT operator stipulates that the port should maintain 14.5-metre depth and provide road and rail connectivity to the project site.
The memorandum also requested the parliamentary committee's support for getting financial aid for the Cochin Port Trust until such time as the ICTT turned around to yield enough income because the transshipment terminal was a project of national importance.

G. pulex in Ireland
Gammarus pulex (Linnaeus). Introduced into Northern Ireland in 1958-59, since when it has expanded its range to become the dominant amphipod there, replacing G. duebeni celticus in Lough Neagh and River Lagan. Now also found in small numbers in River Liffey and lower R. Boyne, Republic of Ireland. Its competitive interactions have been studied by J. Dick, among others. A similar replacement of G. duebeni by G. pulex has been reported in Brittany by A. Dunn.

Gammarus pulex
Gammarus pulex is a species of amphipod crustacean found in fresh water across much of Europe. It is a greyish animal, growing to 21 mm (0.83 in) long.
Adult males of Gammarus pulex may reach a total length of 21 millimetres (0.83 in), while females only grow to 14 mm (0.55 in).[1] The adults have a robust appearance; they are typically greyish with markings in dark brown or green.[1]
G. pulex is found across most of Europe from the Volga drainage in the east to the British Isles in the west.[2][3] It is absent from Norway, parts of Scotland, and Ireland,[2] although it was introduced to Lough Neagh in the 1950s, where it is replacing the native Gammarus duebeni.[4]
Taxonomic history[edit]
|External identifiers for Gammarus pulex
|Encyclopedia of Life
Gammarus pulex was one of the species included in the 10th edition of Carl Linnaeus' Systema Naturae, which marks the starting point for zoological nomenclature, in 1758. Linnaeus called the species Cancer pulex, the specific epithet pulex being Latin for "flea". His description was, however, vague, and could apply to "nearly every species of amphipod".[1] Some of Linnaeus' references refer to freshwater species, while others refer to marine species. The application of the name was settled in 1970 by the redescription of the species and the selection of a neotype from a stream on the Swedish island of Öland.[1]
The name Rivulogammarus has been used for a part of the genus Gammarus when it is split into smaller genera, and G. pulex has sometimes been called Rivulogammarus pulex. This name is, however, invalid under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, since G. pulex is the type species of the genus Gammarus, and the genus that contains it must therefore be named Gammarus.[5]

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - The number of children under the age of five who die annually fell to less than 7 million in 2011, but around 19,000 boys and girls around the world are still dying every day from largely preventable causes, the U.N. children's agency said in a report released Wednesday night.
The report by the United Nations Children's Fund said that four-fifths of under-five deaths last year occurred in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. More than half the pneumonia and diarrhea deaths _ which together account for almost 30 percent of under-five deaths worldwide _ occur in just four countries: Congo, India, Nigeria and Pakistan, it said.
"Given the prospect that these regions, especially sub-Saharan Africa, will account for the bulk of the world's births in the next years, we must give new impetus to the global momentum to reduce under-five deaths," UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake said in the report.
He said youngsters from disadvantaged and marginalized families in poor and fragile nations are the most likely to die before their fifth birthday, but their lives can be saved with vaccines, adequate nutrition and basic medical and maternal care.
"The world has the technology and know-how to do so," Lake said. "The challenge is to make these available to every child."
UNICEF said the rate of decline in under-five deaths has drastically accelerated in the last decade, from 1.8 percent per year during the 1990s to 3.2 percent per year between 2000 and 2011.
"There is much to celebrate," Lake said. "More children now survive their fifth birthday than ever before _ the global number of under-five deaths has fallen from around 12 million in 1990 to an estimated 6.9 million in 2011."
In 2010, there were 7.6 million under-5 deaths.
The report underscores that a country's location and economic status need not be a barrier to reducing child deaths.
Low income countries such as Bangladesh, Liberia and Rwanda, middle income countries including Brazil, Mongolia and Turkey, and high income countries such as Oman and Portugal have all made dramatic gains, lowering their under-five mortality rates by more than two-thirds between 1990 and 2011, the report said.
But UNICEF Deputy Executive Director Geeta Rao Gupta stressed that there is "unfinished business" and it is not just about the number of child deaths.
"Behind every statistic is an unseen child, and a grieving mother and father," she said. "A child's death is all the more tragic when caused by a disease that can easily be prevented. That's why we have this global movement to recommit to child survival and renew the promise to end child deaths. This decline shows we can make this happen."
