BOISE -- Senator John McGee is breaking his silence after more than six months to talk about retaining his leadership position, despite his conviction for drunken driving last summer.
It was Father's Day 2011 when after a day of drinking at a Boise golf course, McGee took an SUV and trailer without asking, and crashed it at a nearby house.
The Caldwell Republican was initially charged with grand theft, but that charge was later dropped. McGee paid restitution and plead guilty to drunk driving.
It has been a very difficult period of time for me and my family, said McGee. My actions on that night showed clearly a lack of judgment.
Senate Republicans met Wednesday to decide whether or not he would remain the Majority Caucus Chair (the 4th highest leadership position for the GOP). The meeting started with an address by McGee.
He expressed his apologies to the caucus, said Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill, R-Rexburg. He expressed his apologies to the people of Idaho and he is very remorseful about what he did.
Close to two hours later, members voted. The specific results are hidden, even to the lawmakers, but there was a favorable majority. So McGee will keep his position, and Hill says he has everyone's full support.
McGee appeared briefly on the Senate floor and thanked his wife and family for their support, before talking with the media.
I made some mistakes and I've paid the price for those mistakes, said McGee. Every day now that I wake up, the first thing I think of is, 'How can I make this better?' For the rest of my life I'll be working on making this better. So, as difficult as the day has been, I'm very humbled and thankful to the caucus for their support.
McGee also thanked his constituents and said he believes it's time to move on.
It's just really time for all of us to move on, said McGee. I think the message you got from the caucus today is that it's time to move on. It's time for my family to move on. So that's done and now we're here. Now let's do the work of the people of Idaho, and do the very best job we can.
McGee also told the story of how Senator Elliot Werk, a Democrat, called him the day after the incident just to check on him. After adjournment today, McGee thanked Werk personally and said he thought it was a very classy move.

This is my first time uploading new item , after the redesign of the site. And I got stuck at the step two. When I click the upload button , and chose the preview.zip file, it starts uploading for only a few seconds, and then it says it's processing and then it just stops like nothing is happening.
Any help?
off topic:
Why couldn't there be just a "browse for file" button for every element required?
Do you have any anti virus of firewall software installed? It can interfere with the upload process. Try disabling them and uploading again.
Also if you are using windows archive utility (that is, you are zipping the files using the built in windows tool), try using third party software such as Winace. Windows sometimes creates zip files that our servers cannot extract.
did you try to upload via different browser
i just uploaded a new file 10 minutes ago…
sometimes IE works FF broken
sometimes FF works IE broken
in FF I can't get the previews to work either. But it works with IE. Also, in IE everything look majorly messed up . Weird crap.
oh man , these things should be fixed asap.
Seriously , I can't upload the files, I've tried in ALL browsers,
And nothing, it gives a process of uploading, just for a few seconds , and then it says it's processing , and then nothing.
First thing is that , it can't upload for that short amount of time , because it's a 25 mb file.
I really need some help guys, has anyone experienced something like this before?
I can upload the file, but can select 'open with flash 8',
Last time I tried to use FF to upload, I couldn't get it to work. Here is the thread that I opened when I had this problem http://activeden.net/forums/thread/anyone-having-problem-with-the-upload-form/18577
Thanks lydian , but I've tried with FF 3 .5.5, IE , CHROME , Opera 10.10 (latest version ) won't even load the page every time!

i'll be handling this newborn alone, just like i handled my first dd alone. i really never seen a need to have someone watch a newborn or help me out since this stage in their life they sleep most of the time. although now that dd is 13m i do take full advantage when people want to help out. hehe.

Feb 13, 2014I really liked this movie. It brought a new spin from the original while still maintaining the essence of a revenge movie. Both films were very enjoyable and I got what I asked for in a sequel, a lot of the same with a new coat of paint. If you loved the first one and are hoping for something completely different you will be disappointed.
Oct 18, 2013I give 2 for this movie it wasn't too bad to be a Sequel and Carrie 2013 is the same movie as Carrie 2002 Bad acting and i'm sure they make another remake movie of Carrie in 4 years
Oct 22, 2012There is nothing worse than watching a bad movie while being constantly reminded of a great one , Wait for another Carrie movie this is the 4th movie Carrie 2013 , The Carrie 2013 is gonna be the same as Carrie 2002. http://www.facebook.com/ElvisPresleySonElvisAaronPresleyJr
Nov 14, 2011Bottom Line: Irrelevant to the classic, a good one for even Carrie fans to skip.
I have never been a fan of the original Carrie, but, despite the different slant offered by The Rage, there's not enough new material here for me to like the sequel any better.
The surprise of the movie is that it actually does have a talented director and star. It doesn't begin to make up for the low quality of the story or the numerous other unfortunate elements, but it does suggest little flashes of something that, with more thought, might actually have been somewhat interesting.
The original "Carrie'' worked because it was a skillful teenage drama grafted onto a horror ending. Also, of course, because De Palma and his star, Sissy Spacek, made the story convincing. The Rage: Carrie 2 is more like a shadow.

Be sure to unplug USB devices too.
Still strange to discharge batteries. There's some bad advice going around and if the battery/system is old you can lose a board by doing that.
PS. If it's working, don't fix it.

Orchestra Nova: Cult of personality or community asset?
As Nova management points out, orchestras are suffering across the nation, but they are largely grappling with supporting inflexible, 100-member ensembles, declining ticket sales, and commitments to more classical programming than the community can sustain. Orchestra Nova, with a budget of roughly $1 million in 2011, lists 27 musicians on its roster and Pak boasts in the 2012-13 season brochure that "our entire last season of Nova Classics performances sold out" (even though it didn't; the Nova Classics 2011-12 performances in Coronado sold poorly and were eliminated).
Still, Pak could make history. His photo hangs in the offices at Copley Symphony Hall in recognition of his role in reviving the San Diego Symphony. If Orchestra Nova goes under, he could be the first conductor in San Diego history to save one orchestra and kill another, although the choice whether Orchestra Nova is a cult of personality or a community asset will ultimately be made by Nova's six-member board of directors.
In that "star"-studded season brochure, Pak proclaims: "We believe the 2012-13 season will surprise and delight you more than ever before."
We're surprised, yes. But not delighted.

This recipe is from Season 3 of 5 Ingredient Fix
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Put 2/3 of the broccoli in a large bowl with the olive oil and orange juice; season with salt and pepper and toss well to coat. Transfer the broccoli to a large rimmed baking sheet in 1 layer and roast until just tender with golden brown edges, approximately 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, pour the cream into a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, add the remaining broccoli, garlic, and orange zest and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Cook until the cream has reduced to half its original volume and the broccoli is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
With a hand-held immersion blender, potato masher, or food processor, blend or pulse the cream and broccoli mixture until coarsely blended and still a bit chunky. Gently fold in the roasted broccoli; taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc are the best wines to pair with Creamy Roasted Broccoli.

High-dose aspirin treatment improves fasting and postprandial hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes, as well as in animal models of insulin resistance associated with obesity and sepsis. In this study, we investigated the effects of aspirin treatment on inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS)-mediated insulin resistance and on S-nitrosylation of insulin receptor (IR)-β, IRS-1 and protein kinase B (Akt) in the muscle of diet-induced obese rats and also in iNos (also known as Nos2)−/− mice on high fat diet.
Aspirin (120 mg kg−1 day−1 for 2 days) or iNOS inhibitor (L-NIL; 80 mg/kg body weight) were administered to diet-induced obese rats or mice and iNOS production and insulin signalling were investigated. S-nitrosylation of IRβ/IRS-1 and Akt was investigated using the biotin switch method.
iNOS protein levels increased in the muscle of diet-induced obese rats, associated with an increase in S-nitrosylation of IRβ, IRS-1 and Akt. These alterations were reversed by aspirin treatment, in parallel with an improvement in insulin signalling and sensitivity, as measured by insulin tolerance test and glucose clamp. Conversely, while aspirin reversed the increased phosphorylation of IκB kinase β and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase, as well as IRS-1 serine phosphorylation in diet-induced obese rats and iNos −/− mice on high-fat diet, these alterations were not associated with the improvement of insulin action induced by this drug.
Our data demonstrate that aspirin treatment not only reduces iNOS protein levels, but also S-nitrosylation of IRβ, IRS-1 and Akt. These changes are associated with improved insulin resistance and signalling, suggesting a novel mechanism of insulin sensitisation evoked by aspirin treatment.

APNewsBreak: Report warns of nuke risk in Calif.
Nearly 20,000 tubes are in each of the two reactors. Following the leak, tests found that seven tubes that carry radioactive water from the reactor were in danger of rupturing under high pressure in Unit 3. The company has said a total of 321 tubes will be plugged and taken out of service at the two reactors, well within the margin to allow them to keep operating.
Inside a steam generator, hot pressurized water flowing through bundles of tubes heats a bath of non-radioactive water surrounding them. The resulting steam is used to turn turbines to make electricity.
The tubes are one of the vital barriers between the radioactive and non-radioactive sides of the plant. If a tube breaks, there is the potential that radioactivity from the system that pumps water through the reactor could escape into the atmosphere.
Serious leaks also can drain cooling water from a reactor.
The steam generators were manufactured by Japan-based Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, according to company officials.
Fairewinds is a Vermont-based consultant that has worked with groups critical of nuclear power.

(Don't get the black one, its cheaper quality and weighs a ton more). Two years old and it still looks new. Don't pay more for a Kore or any other chic brand that weighs the same but cost three times as much. Once you put it on you forget about it. Invest the money in good wheels or a better shock.

It's pretty clear by now that Barack Obama does not have a whole lot of respect for Israeli leader Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Obama Administration also leaked information that harmed the people of Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lectured Barack Obama in the Oval Office on the dangers facing the Jews back in May 2011.
Today Republican Mitt Romney offered condolences to Benjamin Netanyahu on the death of his father.
Israel Matzav reported:
Presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney has sent condolences to Prime Minister Netanyahu on the death of his father, Ben Zion Netanyahu z"l (of blessed memory).
[P]resumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney extended his condolences today to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the death of his father.
Ben-Zion Netanyahu, a historian and Zionist activist, died today in Israel. He was 102.
Romney called the Israeli prime minister his "friend" in his statement. The two men have been friends for years, and their relationship was forged in the 1970s when they were young up-and-comers sizing up companies for the Boston Consulting Group.
"This is a loss for all of Israel and for all who care about Israel," Romney said about the elder Netanyahu's death.
There is no word yet on Obama.
"There is no word yet on Obama."
He's still alive!
Odumb$hit can't be bothered….too busy looking at himself in the mirror and plotting his next move to take down america

"There is no word yet on Obama."
He's still alive!
Why be sorry when you very concisely and succinctly described the situation. Barry is probably trying to find a way to use any words he speaks about Netanyahu's father into a snarky self-congratulatory speech to attack Republicans, Romney and Israel.
You can literally see the hate for Bibi dripping from Barry Soetoro's face…… I just wish Bibi were our president. He's a statesman. Barry Soetoro is a cruel joke.
Bibi's father was a great historian. His specialization was the Jews of Spain under the Inquisition about which he wrote an important book.
However, Comrade Hussein sent heartfelt condolences to his BFF, the Islamist dictator of Turkey, Erdogan, on the death of his mother last year.
Obama probably called up his Muslim Brotherhood and gave them congrats on another Jew dying.
Obama is despicable.
If he does call, Obama will waste no time in blaming Bush.
The eyes, they say, are the windows of the soul. If you look at Obama's eyes in this pic, what do you see? Utter hatred? Anger? Disgust and despise?
My sympathies go out to Bibi and his family. Why would we expect our child in chief to suddenly gain class and a sense of the office he holds? Crass and classless suit him and the first wookie.
The difference between a man and a boy is what I see when I think of Netanyahu v. Obama.
There is class, and there is classless. We know who is which.
My condolences for the Netanyahu family are tempered by the valuable contribution of Ben Zion Netanyahu's life. May God Bless his soul.
I'm sure that our class-less Dear Leader will send something as soon as he thinks it's politically expedient.
He's an ass who ate dog meat…and makes bad jokes. I never heard anyone make more speeches than him except for Castro and Hitler. Yak yak yak…He never shuts up!
And the mystery persists. After all that Obama has done, the overwhelming majority of American Jews still plan to vote for him. Knee-jerk liberalism may be the simplest explanation, because rational and intellectual thinking cannot be the reason.
Trying to define Romney is impossible. He is as changeable as the wind. The one constant with him is that he can be relied on to give business all of the breaks in the world regardless of the consequences.
By the way, why does he have a Swiss bank account?

One of the main points of discussion in the wake of Rich Peverley's collapse on the Dallas Stars' bench Monday night was the excellent work done by the medical staffs of the Stars and Columbus Blue Jackets.
Both groups worked quickly to stabilize Peverley and move him into the tunnel, helping alleviate what was clearly a traumatizing experience for both teams (so much so that the game was suspended).
NHL Network tipped its cap to the behind-the-scenes workers, declaring both medical staffs the No. 1 stars of Monday night.

Played start-to-finish, New York Noise begins to cohere into a joyously multi-hued mass, where hip-hop is a natural cousin of atonal noise, where minimalism becomes the perfect complement to funk, and where not even the skronked-out mess of DNA or the melodramatic ultra-seriousness of Glenn Branca can get in the way of a good party.
Another title that demonstrates what an awesome period the late '70s and early '80s was for music.
From hip-hop to no-wave, jazz-punk disco to house music to electroclash, sleek funk to crusty noise, there's a lot to cover, and Soul Jazz does the job admirably, touring the biggest landmarks and some of the interesting diversions not on the map, but nonetheless co-existing side-by-side.

Dating back to the Ancient Egyptians (Cleopatra was their
biggest fan!), essential oils have literally been around for, well…ever. From teen queens to actual queens,
essential oils have been used as healing and beauty products around the world.
And the best part is? They have no harmful chemicals to your body because
they're totally natural!
What: Lavender oil
Where: Edens Garden Lavender 100% Pure, $7, amazon.com
Vitacost 100% Lavender Oil, $7, vitacost.com
NOW Foods Lavender Oil, $15, amazon.com
Young Living Lavender Oil, $30, youngliving.com
Why: Lavender oil is great for lotsa things, especially for stress relief. A couple of sniffs of lavender and rubbing lavender oil on your wrists can ease tension and lull you to sleep. Lavender oil is also a natural antihistamine, meaning it can help take the itch out of seasonal allergies, bug bites and pesky skin problems, like eczema or sunburns.
Who: Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Lea Michele, the cast of True Blood, Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal
What: Coconut oil
Where: Trader Joe's Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, $6, at Trader Joe's stores
Carrington Farms Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, $8, carringtonfarms.com
Nutiva Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, $12, nutivia.com
Viva Labs Organic Coconut Oil, $13, vitaminshoppe.com
Why: Want to completely rejuvenate every aspect of your life? Meet coconut oil. This wonder oil can whiten teeth, help with weight loss, boost your metabolism, improve nail and cuticle appearance, heal chapped lips and even give your skin a healthy glow. Slather on as a hair mask to moisturize hair, fight frizz and nix dandruff.
Mix coconut oil into our tea? Don't mind if we do! Some
companies that specialize in essential oils, such as Young Living Essential
Oils and doTERRA Oils, are safe to consume, but others may not be. Look at the
bottle first to make sure they're pure and safe for consumption.
Who: Emma Stone, Shailene Woodley, Vanessa Hudgens, Kendall Jenner, Blake Lively, Miranda Kerr, Hilary and Haylie Duff, Channing Tatum, Jared Leto
What: Peppermint oil
Where: NOW Foods Peppermint Oil, $5, amazon.com
Vitacost 100% Pure Peppermint Oil, $6, vitacost.com
Aura Cacia 100% Pure Essential Oil Peppermint, $6, swansonvitamins.com
Young Living Essential Peppermint Oil, $23, amazon.com
Why: When you hear peppermint, you probably think about fresh breath or Christmas candy, but there's actually tons more to it. Rub peppermint oil on your stomach for that-time-of-month cramps, or onto your temples to battle a brutal headache.
If the label says it's safe to drink, add to your tea to
soothe a tummy ache. For a li'l boost of energy or quick stress buster, take a
whiff, breathe deep and smile. Works for sniffles and cold symptoms, too.
Who: One Direction, Jennifer Lawrence, Debby Ryan, Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie, Sofia Vergara, Mariah Carrey, Julia Roberts
What: Tea tree oil
Where: NOW Foods Pure Tea Tree Oil, $6, amazon.com
Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Facial Cleansing Pads, $8, desertessence.com

Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Oil, $9, feelunique.com
Lush Tea Tree Water, $10, lushusa.com
Tea Tree Skin Clearing Facial Wash, $12, thebodyshop-usa.com
Why: We know, we know: Won't putting oil on oily skin just cause more painful pimples? Actually, no! Some oils do the exact opposite and clear your clogged pores. Tea tree oil has powerful antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, meaning buh-bye acne.
It's proven to reduce redness and treat acne as effectively
as benzoyl peroxide with less harmful side effects. Be careful, though, because
it can be strong and cause your skin to dry out. So, be sure to either dilute
it with water or—more effectively—jojoba oil before applying it to the affected
area, or buy a cream or wash that has tea tree oil as one of its prime
ingredients. Hint: it can also help with ingrown hairs!
Who: Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Kim Kardashian
What: Argan oil
Where: Saadia Organics Argan Oil, $12, saadiaorganics.com
Aria Beauty 100% Pure Argan Oil, $14, amazon.com
Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil, $16, sephora.com
100% Natural Argan Oil by Natural Beauty Brand, $20, amazon.com
Why: Do you have skin that's dry, not cracking? Are your locks stiff and dull, not flaking? Do you have the occasional pimple, not the never-goes-away acne? This is where argan oil comes in.
Argan oil (aka Moroccan oil or 'Liquid Gold') is a
moisturizing, healing and conditioning oil that's not so much a direct target
to skin and hair problems, but helps prevent them and soothe the occasional
flare up. It's great at taming frizzy hair, repairing damaged hair,
moisturizing and soothing skin and healing acne. It can be used as a gentle lip
balm or cuticle softener. Use it as a quick facial before applying makeup.
Who: Taylor Swift, Leighton Meester, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Kylie Jenner, Kaley Cuoco, Nicole Richie, Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson
What: Rosehip Seed Oil
Where: Life-Flo Pure Rosehip Seed Oil Organic, $8, life-flo.com
Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta Rose Hip Seed Oil, $11, vitaminshoppe.com
NZ Fusion Notanicals Pure Organic Certified Rosehip Seed Oil, $15, amazon.com
Mountain Rose Herbs Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, $20, mountainroseherbs.com
Sukin Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, $20, sukinorganics.com
Why: It's in a lot of beauty products and creams already, but the natural extract does wonders for your skin alone. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, rosehip seed oil is an amazing treatment for dry skin, sun damage (which is common in these summer months!), helping diminish the appearance of scars and evening out your skin tone.
This all-in-one
product can be used for almost anything when it comes to your skin, acting as a
makeup remover, a moisturizer and tons of other things. It's non-greasy, super
absorbent and rejuvenates your skin with a healthy glow since it's packed full
with vitamin C.

Hi Everyone!
I found a death record of a Luigi Capadonna, who is a direct ancestor (5 generations). He is actually the father of my great-great grandfather, Carmelo Capadonna. I have Luigi married to a Giovanna Palazzolo (sp ?). From what I can read of this document, the death was on June 5, 1857. He was married to a Giovanna (can't make out the last name). However, I think this might be my ancestor because his son's wife is Venera Matafu and her father was Franceso Matafu, who is listed on the record.

I hope that is not too confusing. If anyone can translate the above record for me, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

Arizona Wildcats
Reggae star sues Va. groups after bottle injury
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Grammy-winning reggae musician Frederick "Toots" Hibbert is suing several organizations after he was injured during a May concert in Richmond.
Hibbert has filed the $20 million lawsuit in Richmond Circuit Court against Venture Richmond and Metropolitan Richmond Sports Backers Inc.
The suit also names security-provider Regional Marketing Concepts Inc. and another company that provided concessions for the concert.
The leader of Toots and the Maytals was struck in the head with a tossed vodka bottle while he performed on Brown's Island in the James River. After suffering a deep head cut, Hibbert canceled the remaining dates on his tour and returned to Jamaica.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports ( http://bit.ly/17he7Ty) that Venture Richmond objected on Monday to the allegation of negligence, saying the teen charged is solely responsible.

The WWE continues its attempt to be "internet adorable.
Because it's too hot to be outdoors.
As yet another summer movie season begins to draw its curtains, we are forced to look back in remorse at the ludicrous dog shit thrown in our faces these past few months.
Every summer, Hollywood spends billions of dollars trying to blow your mind with hot action thrill-rides with amazing special effects, but here are six things that every summer blockbuster has in common.
Alright, hustling kids with a YouTube account: You want to get views.
2013's summer movie slate is shaping up to be a good one, filled with superhero movies, sci-fi flicks, your usual dramas and comedies, and some others that defy being categorized.
2013's summer movie slate is shaping up to be an uncommonly weird one.
Surfing, sleep-away camp, sailing, fishing, baseball, golf, summer school, sharks, roadtrips, invading aliens: These are the things that summer is made for.
As you'll recall, the first full-length trailer for 'The Amazing Spider-Man' dropped back in February.
There is literally a movie opening every weekend between now to the end of August, so which flick should you see.
Remember in the third grade when you went as Spider-Man for Halloween, then you showed up at your friend's house to go trick-or-treating and saw his awesome Batman costume, and your other friend's G.
The summer movie season officially begins this weekend with the opening of Will Ferrell's "Everything Must Go" and Judd Apatow's "Bridesmaids.

Boehner: Congress can do immigration this year
WASHINGTON With the Senate ready to cast the first floor votes on a landmark immigration bill, House Speaker John Boehner said Tuesday he thinks there's a good chance the legislation can be signed into law "by the end of the year."
Ahead of Tuesday afternoon's procedural votes to officially allow debate to move forward, senators were readying amendments on contentious issues including border security, back taxes and health care coverage. Some Republicans said they were seeking to strengthen enforcement provisions so that they could be comfortable voting for the bill.
Other GOP measures were already being dismissed by Democrats as attempts to kill the bill by striking at the fragile compromises at its core.
Boehner said in a nationally broadcast interview he still has concerns about aspects of the bill pertaining to border security. But the Ohio Republican also said he has sought to create an environment in the House where both parties can work together on the measure, which could eventually lead to full citizenship for millions of people currently living in the United States illegally.
"I think, no question, by the end of the year we could have a bill. No question," the speaker said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."
In the Senate, the bill's supporters were working to determine which measures they could accept to lock down more "yes" votes from the GOP side without losing Democratic backing. They are aiming for a resounding show of support from the Democratic-led Senate that could pressure the Republican-led House to act.
President Barack Obama, who's made overhauling immigration laws a top second-term priority, was to speak at a midmorning event with advocates at the White House to praise the Senate's efforts and renew his calls for reform.
The two votes scheduled for Tuesday afternoon were on procedural measures to officially allow debate to move forward on the far-reaching bill. Both votes were expected to succeed by comfortable margins, because even some senators with deep misgivings about the immigration bill said the issue deserved a Senate debate.
The real fights will come in the following days and weeks as Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., aims to push the bill to final Senate passage before July 4.
Even if that happens, the outlook in the House remains unsettled. Boehner indicated earlier that he'd like to see a bill through his chamber before August.
The Senate bill would stiffen border security and require all employers to check their workers' legal status, as well as initiate new or expanded visa programs for high-skilled and lower-skilled workers and the agriculture sector. At its core is its most contentious element, a 13-year path to citizenship for some 11 million immigrants now here illegally.
"Given the impact the broken system has on our economy and our families, we cannot afford delay," Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said Monday on the Senate floor. "This is a measure the Senate should come together to consider and pass."
"Unfortunately the bill before us repeats our past mistakes," said the Judiciary Committee's top Republican, Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa. "Nobody disputes this is a bill that legalizes first and enforces later."

Historically Black Colleges
Historically black colleges (sometimes referred to as historically black colleges and universities or HBCUs) are defined by the Higher Education Act of 1965 as any accredited African-American academic institution established before 1964 with the primary mission to educate black minorities in the United States. There are between 105 and 110 historically black colleges in the United States today, with the majority established after the American Civil War. Since then, the progress of education at African-American institutions of higher learning has been closely linked to the development of civil rights in the United States.
Prior to the the start of the American Civil War (1861–65), more than 90 perent of the nation's 4 million slaves lived in the Southern United States, where, with the exception of Tennessee, every state outlawed the education of any person of African descent, whether enslaved or free. It is estimated that 90 percent of the adult black population in the South at that time was illiterate. The remaining 10 percent was either self-taught or educated in one of the few autonomous private schools operated covertly in Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Richmond, Philadelphia and Cleveland. Most of these were affiliated with African-American churches or with charities supported by benevolent whites. During the Antebellum Period, only 28 blacks received baccalaureate degrees from a U.S. college or university.
In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation liberated 3.1 million slaves. The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands (the Freedmen's Bureau) was subsequently established in 1865 and charged with the responsbility to assist former slaves in food, housing, health care and education. The bureau managed and financed federal aid in these matters with the cooperation of the educational efforts of Northern missionary societies and the American Missionary Association (AMA). The AMA alone founded seven black colleges and 13 primary and secondary schools between 1861 and 1870. Between the end of the Civil War and the end of the Reconstruction Era (1863–77), several amendments to the U.S. Constitution were passed that helped extend federal civil rights to all citizens, including nearly 5 million former slaves.
Between 1865 and 1890, church and missionary groups established more than 200 hundred private institutions for the education of blacks in the South. Some of the private schools estabished during this period are still in operation today: Atlanta University (1865) in Atlanta, Georgia; Fisk University (1866) in Nashville, Tennessee; Shaw University (1865) in Raleigh, North Carolina; and Morehouse College (originally the Augusta Institute, 1867) in Atlanta, Georgia. In addition, 16 historically black public (i.e., land grant) colleges were also established during this period under the Morrill Act of 1890, including Howard University and Hampton University.
During the "separate but equal" period of U.S. education (1896–1953), the legalized segregation brought upon by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) strained finances for HBCUs due to the limited pool of funds and resources going to mainstream institutions. HBCUs were able to draw from their own pool of students to provide teachers for secondary schools, which, in turn, fed the institutions with future students. Due to the scarcity of jobs for educated blacks in mainstream society, this segregated cycle of education persisted for several decades.
Today, HBCUs are often viewed apart from conventional institutions of higher education for several reasons. Most were established and persisted in an environment that was sanctioned by legalized segregation and hostility toward the education of African-American minorities. As a result, these institutions were founded under very strict legal, economic and social constraints. As a result, even after many of the legal restrictions of segregation were lifted, HBCUs continued to affiliate with the cause for equality in mainstream society while adopting a somewhat aloof position on integrated education.
HBCUs produced almost 70 percent of all black college graduates up to 1991 and are expected to produce another 300,000 African-American graduates during the next two-and-a-half decades. Despite their historical success in educating African Americans during periods when there were no alternatives, there has been growing pressure to justify the continued operation of majority black institutions. Since educational segregation ended with the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), many argue that the continued splitting of limited educational resources for institutions that continue to be racially segregated undermines the overall effort to integrate society. These opponents argue that HBCUs are obsolete, with less than 20 percent of black high school graduates choosing to attend and steadily increasing numbers attending mainstream institutions.
Even more criticism has been lobbied at the relatively lower entry standards that some say pander to a culture of underachievement both in the faculty and student arenas. It has been argued that blacks must become accustomed to competing in an integrated society, rather than one that specially caters to their individual and cultural needs. While school desegreation has enhanced educational opportunities for the vast majority of African Americans in the United States, it is difficult to discount fully the value added by the educational choices offered by HBCUs during the past 150 years.

On June 18th, during the Cultural Encounters evening event, I sat down with current artist-in-residence, Michael Horse, to find out more about his background and artistic influences. Born near Tucson, Horse is of Yaqui, Mescalero Apache, Zuni, European, and Hispanic descent and comes from an artistically talented family of jewelers, potters, and painters.

Today had both frenetic and soothing aspects. I had breakfast with one of our amazing poets on the bill for Friday: devorah major, poet laureate of San Francisco emerita, amazing performer and above all friend. We ate frittata in Hayes Valley before making our way to the museum. THE FOG IS HERE. It must be summer, eh? Everyone celebrate.

You may be in for a fun day when you find a hawk feather coming in to work. You may be in for a fun day when your first visitor in the studio asks great questions and listens to the answers. It's been a fun day when a mom tells you that you 'made everyone happy' with some oil pastels and butcher paper (grinning kids and interesting drawings and all).

Fashion brand Jaspal jets off to the City
of Light with Alexa Chung for its latest campaign.
PARIS is known as one of the fashion capitals of the world. It is also famed as a location for love, and the city is reputedly considered as the most romantic place on earth. Thus, it is not surprising that many would be inspired by the city – especially when it comes to conceptualising fashion campaigns, as it holds a powerful emotional pull on an imagined style and the evocation of visual creativity.
Fashion brand Jaspal has taken a cue from this notion, unveiling its campaign for Autumn/Winter womenswear collection shot in Paris.
The brand is enchanted by the city and what it aims to do with this campaign is to offer a tour of the sights of Paris through visual images featuring its latest brand ambassador, styled in the latest must-haves of the season.
If you haven't heard, the brand has successfully courted British personality Alexa Chung for this new season's campaign. She has been named as the face of Jaspal's Autumn/Winter womenswear and appears in the visual branding, impeccably dressed in the new collection.
She is seen lending Jaspal her stamp of quiet grace and girly elegance as she poses against a backdrop of immediately recognisable Parisian sights.
Chung is viewed as the fashion world's darling at the moment. Those who are smitten by her looks and charm see her as a best-dressed personality, an A-list star among international stars and a fashionista with substantial knowledge on style. She is also adored for having the ability to stay ahead of the trends, and she adds her own effortlessly chic twist to any outfit.
As a model, Chung has been featured in many notable fashion publications to date.
Aside from appearing on the cover of magazines like Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar, she is also often seen in the front row at international fashion shows, a sure mark of her prominence in the elite fashion circles.
Nevertheless, she is not just a pretty face. Aside from being a model, she is a fashion journalist, writing for newspapers and magazines in Britain. Chung also has experience as a television host. Amongst her many stints with different programmes, she is best known for previously hosting MTV's It's On With Alexa Chung and Lifetime's 24-Hour Catwalk.
Chung's partnership with Jaspal comes at a notable time. The brand is currently celebrating four decades of success since it was founded in its home country, Thailand, and is looking to bigger and better things to come. With an aim of taking its designs to the international arena, this is just one of the many statements that the brand looks to make in the near future.
The Jaspal Autumn/Winter womenswear collection offers a wide range of feminine styles and designs. From everyday staples to bold statement pieces, the clothing and accessories can be worn for any occasion when styled appropriately. Colours range from vivid shades to pretty pastels, while prints and monotones make an appearance.
Jaspal also highlights the versatility of pants and leggings for the season. High-waisted shorts, straight-leg jeans and figure-hugging skinnies are paired with chic heels for a more sophisticated look. The brand also looks to a slightly more casual take on dressing up, with designs reminiscent of summer dresses and loose, frilled tops.
The new collection includes pieces that will take a woman from work to play.
Stylish designs in a wide range of colour palettes are available and can be seen in everything from skirt suits to off-duty tanks. Finishes like faux lace and playful graphic designs are all part of the creative direction and speak of its tribute to sophistication.
The men are not left out, as Jaspal's menswear highlight a more classic, gentlemanly look – but with a modern perspective. Pairing of suit jackets with T-shirts and jersey hoodies with slim-fit shirts tell of timeless style.
Thailand's talented singer and songwriter, British-born Hugo Chakrabongse Levy, fronts the brand's menswear collection and seals the deal for Jaspal's imminence in the international fashion market. His individualism and effortless charm complement Chung, and the duo's star power will no doubt help to make this year Jaspal's most exciting one yet.
Jaspal's Autum/Winter 2012 collection is priced from RM85 to RM499.
It is available at all Jaspal boutiques (1 Utama, Petaling Jaya; Pavilion Kuala Lumpur; MidValley Megamall, KL; and Sunway Pyramid, Subang Jaya, Selangor).

Battlefield 4 Double XP Event Rescheduled, Begins Today
Posted on January 3, 2014 AT 03:07am
DICE has rescheduled the previously delayed Battlefield 4 Premium double XP event to today.
The event will begin today, January 3 at 5 a.m. Pacific / 8 a.m. Eastern and run until January 5 at 3 p.m. Pacific / 6 p.m. Eastern. This event is restricted to Battlefield Premium members.
This double XP event was originally scheduled to begin on December 27, 2013, but was postponed by DICE following reports of "intermittent connectivity issues," across all platforms, preventing users from accessing the game.
EA announced late last year that all work on future Battlefield 4 expansions had been suspended until the current issues with multiplayer are fixed. DICE is currently investigating an issue with desynchronized game worlds across all platforms, a bug responsible for most of Xbox 360 crashes, and rubber banding issues.

Drivers question
I downloaded Win7 RC x64 and made a clean install over a freshly formatted partition.
I used to have 32-bit Vista, and thus all the drivers I had previously downloaded are for 32 bit.
For the time being (until Win7 officially comes out), should I use 64bit drivers, or 32bit drivers???
Thanks in advance. :)
Re: Drivers question
You can only use 64 bit drivers with the 64 bit versions of Windows.
Re: Drivers question
drivers have to match the architecture, 32bit for 32, 64bit for 64 and so on
Re: Drivers question
Peachy. thanks
Re: Drivers question
So how are you liking Win 7 so far Tuork? Did you find 64 bit drivers for all your stuff?
Re: Drivers question
Re: Drivers question
Memory usage went down from around 1.5GB to 900MB while I'm using my usual set of programs. Everything seems to be working fine, but I haven't installed all drivers just yet.
Regarding aesthetics, I'm digging the new look to it. New wallpapers and theme configuration are a definite upgrade from vista. Windows Explorer is definitely much nicer now (I tend to use it a lot), but I have a few minor comments on the new taskbar.
As you may know, the biggest change is the taskbar, now having programs show up as little icons. I like this a lot, but I wish it was more visible when multiple windows were active under a single program. This is particularly annoying with chat clients (in my case Pidgin), as I rely on seeing the new window on the taskbar to know I got a new message. Now only the icon flashes yellow to inform me. Not a big deal, but you know...
Another minor gripe I have is with the start menu. First of all, the Windows logo looks.. shoddy. Don't know if it's just me, but it feels a bit pixelated. The start menu itself is slightly different from the Vista menu. They've made the search field larger, I'm guessing to add more emphasis to it, but I liked it more the way it was before.
Also, the new shutdown button feels rushed. Doesn't really feel like it fits in with the rest of the menu. Again, I liked the previous one before.
Most of my comments are in the visual department. I haven't gotten much use out of it, specially more specialized tasks like programming and playing games, but it definitely feels like a much more solid OS. Searches are snappier, things seems to react faster. It's just better. :)
Also, they made MONUMENTAL fixes to the User Account Control and whatnot. It works perfectly now, only bugging you when it's an important matter, unlike Vista that asked you 3 different times before doing something really simple.
I think Windows 7 will really shine once it comes out oficially and applications are tailored for it. For isntance, I use Firefox, but IE 8 has a bunch of cool features that tie it into the OS that I would like to have in FF, and other programs as well. I believe the name for it is "Droplists", when you right click an item on your task bar and you can see recently done tasks, etc.
That's it for now folks. :D

2000 BEST Sports Bar
Allston Sports Depot
It takes a lot to win the title of best sports bar in this athletically frenzied town. But from the replica Fenway scoreboard out front to the 50 TVs hanging from the ceiling, this former railroad station is an all-star. There are more than 40 beers in bottles and on tap, and the $9.99 Sunday buffet brunch is sports-fan heaven. That's why knowledgeable followers of almost every team in the nation hang out here.

9.26.08 by Amir Peay, photos by Menja Ranjalahy - Last night I attended an evening of fights at Michaels Eight Avenue Ballroom in Glen Burnie, MD (close to Baltimore).

|Red Sox agree to new deal with reliever Breslow
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 24 January 2013 07:11
Breslow, who had been eligible for salary arbitration, agreed to a two-year contract, with a club option for 2015.
In 63 combined appearances between Arizona and Boston last season, Breslow, 32, went 3-0 with a 2.70 ERA. He was acquired by the Red Sox on July 31 from the Diamondbacks in exchange for pitcher Matt Albers and outfielder Scott Podsednik.
Breslow, a native of New Haven, Conn., and a Yale graduate, has made 60 or more appearances in each of the last four seasons for a total of 282. That ranks fourth among all major league relievers since 2009.
Originally selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 26th round of the 2002 June draft, Breslow has a 15-17 record with a 3.00 ERA in 358 career games. In Boston, he is 1-2 with a 3.09 ERA in 36 appearances.

Tikka Headlamp; Got to have one!
We received our Tikka headlamps, and couldn't be more satisfied. We plan an using them for a backpack trip in Colorado, but last night my wife used hers while repairing a broken kitchen cabinet. The focused light really helped the job go easier. I was in the World Trade Center during the first bombing, 1993. Coming down from the 107th floor in a pitch- black stairwell, you instantly realize the value of light. That day I would have paid $1,000 for a Tekka Headlamp. Everyone should have one.

The issue of a patent litigation settlement in the form of payments by a brand name drug company to the defendant to delay marketing a generic version of its brand name counterpart is heating up this summer. Indeed, it is currently both before the Supreme Court and Congress.
A group of indirect purchasers filed a petition with the Supreme Court seeking review of the Federal Circuit's decision in In Re:Ciprofloxacin finding that Bayer's $398 million payment to Barr and Hoechst Marion Roussel (now Sanofi-Aventis) to delay marketing a generic version of a drug did not violate federal antitrust laws. Arkansas Carpenters Health and Welfare Fund is asking the court to determine whether reverse payments to settle patent litigation are per se lawful without regard to the amount paid or strength of the underlying patent challenge. This is the third time the issue of reverse payments has been brought to the Supreme Court. The Court refused to hear the prior two cases.

Women in Academic Science: A Changing Landscape
A new paper in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest Provides a detailed and comprehensive look at the gender gap between men and women in academic science.
Their (surprisingly optimistic?) conclusion?: Barriers to women's full participation in mathematically intensive academic science fields are rooted in pre-college factors and the subsequent likelihood of majoring in these fields, and future research should focus on these barriers rather than misdirecting attention toward historical barriers that no longer account for women's underrepresentation in academic science.

Why Are There Still So Few Women in Science?
Last summer, researchers at Yale published a study proving that physicists, chemists and biologists are likely to view a young male scientist more favorably than a woman with the same qualifications. Presented with identical summaries of the accomplishments of two imaginary applicants, professors at six major research institutions were significantly more willing to offer the man a job. If they did hire the woman, they set her salary, on average, nearly $4,000 lower than the man's. Surprisingly, female scientists were as biased as their male counterparts.

|Processing of synthetic aperture radar data as applied to the characterization of localized deformation features
|Coffman, Richard A., 1980-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|Satellite-based Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) has been used by the geoscience community for many years to obtain ground deformation measurements of large-scale spatial features. Researchers have also begun applying InSAR to detect small-scale spatial features associated with geotechnical engineering applications. However, there is a significant lack of understanding on how to obtain ground deformation measurements associated with civil infrastructure because of the generally large spatial resolution of the imagery as compared with the limited spatial scale of the deformation features. In this study, InSAR processing techniques were evaluated for two demonstration sites to enhance the understanding of detection of small-scale spatial features. The sites consist of a predominately urban site (Los Angeles, California) and a predominately rural site (outside of Mosul, Iraq). Localized deformation features were identified at both of these sites using InSAR processing techniques recommended in this research InSAR coverage allows for the detection of small movements (<1 cm) covering small spatial extents (<100 meters) by scanning large areas (100 km²) instead of or in addition to current surveying practices which provide spatially limited point measurements. This coverage and the ability to conduct deformation investigations on civil infrastructure using archived InSAR data make the use of InSAR well suited for geotechnical engineering applications.
