BPI wants 'pink slime' lawsuit back in state court
•SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Lawyers for a South Dakota beef processing company suing ABC News for defamation have asked a federal judge to remand the lawsuit back to state court. Beef Products Inc. sued ABC News Inc. for defamation over its coverage of a meat product that critics dub "pink slime." The company is seeking $1.2 billion in damages. ABC argues that two of the companies listed in the lawsuit, BPI Technology Inc. and Freezing Machines Inc., are not true parties and the case should be thrown out. But in a motion filed Nov. 28, BPI lawyers outline how all three companies have a stake in making the product called lean, finely textured beef.
Minn. man pleads guilty to crop damage charges
•WILLMAR, Minn. — Bronson Cody Evenson, 20, of Willmar, Minn., pleaded guilty Nov. 26 to a felony charge of first-degree criminal damage for driving his pickup through multiple crop fields near Willmar and Pennock, Minn., causing thousands of dollars in lost crop yields. As part of a plea agreement in Kandiyohi County District Court, two additional felony property damage charges and a misdemeanor charge for driving after suspension will be dismissed and Evenson will pay restitution on all charges. He will be sentenced Jan. 8. According to an affidavit of restitution, two of the property owners claim $11,699.99 in damage to their crops. The total estimated damage, including the property of a third person, is at least $13,000 in lost yields. The charges were filed after the Kandiyohi County Sheriff's Office received reports July 28 and 29 from farmers that someone had driven a vehicle through their fields. Evenson admitted to a detective that he and a friend had driven through the fields after leaving a party near Pennock.
ND regulators say grain elevator broke
•BISMARCK, N.D. — North Dakota regulators are asking a judge for permission to take control of the Falkirk (N.D.) Farmers Elevator Co. Public Service Commission documents say Falkirk owes more than $270,000 to at least seven people. Falkirk was based in Washburn, N.D., and operated grain elevators at Falkirk and Hazen in North Dakota. The commission voted Nov. 28 to ask a judge to rule that the elevator can't pay its bills. If that happens, the commission will sell off the company's assets so its creditors can be paid. The two elevators were closed in April, and they've already been sold to other companies. But they still have pinto beans in storage. Falkirk's cooperative members voted last summer to liquidate the business and sell the company's tractors, trucks and office equipment.
FDA halts operations at peanut butter plant
•WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration has halted operations of the country's largest organic peanut butter processor, cracking down on salmonella poisoning for the first time with a new enforcement authority the agency gained in a 2011 food safety law. FDA officials found salmonella all over Sunland Inc.'s New Mexico processing plant after 41 people in 20 states, most of them children, were sickened by peanut butter manufactured at the plant and sold at Trader Joe's. The suspension will prevent the company from distributing any food. The food safety law gave the FDA authority to suspend a company's registration when food manufactured or held there has a "reasonable probability" of causing serious health problems or death. Sunland sold hundreds of products to many of the nation's largest grocery chains.
SD farmland sells for $13,000 per acre
•ABERDEEN, S.D. — Some Brown County farmland in South Dakota has sold for $13,000 per acre, breaking a county record by thousands of dollars. Auctioneer Jim Thorpe says he knew the 158-acre tract in Cambria Township for sale Nov. 28 would test the upper limits of the market, but he had no idea it'd set a record. The two quarter-sections of land sold by L.R. Corp. are about two miles north of Tacoma Park. Another 158-acre tract in Henry Township five miles east and one mile north of Bath sold for $11,500 an acre.
Firm gets $1 million ND grant for fertilizer plants
•BISMARCK, N.D. — A $1 million North Dakota state grant has been pledged to a New York company seeking to convert wasted natural gas into much-needed farm fertilizer by using portable plants that can be moved from well to well throughout North Dakota's oil patch. The state Industrial Commission recently approved the grant to N-Flex LLC, under conditions that include financing commitments from investors. Company founder Neil Cohn says that Easton, Md.-based Beowulf Energy LLC acquired rights to N-Flex and will provide capital and engineering for the project. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Cohn says he will "be part of the Beowulf team." The state grant would cover about a quarter of the cost of the $4 million pilot program to build a plant that could be moved between oils wells in western North Dakota, Cohn says. A plant will be operational within 18 months, he says. According to N-Flex, a single oil well aimed at North Dakota's rich Bakken or Three Forks formations could produce enough natural gas to convert to more than 3 tons of anhydrous ammonia daily — enough to fertilize 33,000 acres of wheat or 16,000 acres of corn.

•Pine beetle seminar: The South Dakota Department of Agriculture is hosting a free seminar about treating mountain pine beetles in the Black Hills. The session will be held at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 6, at the Hudson Hall in Spearfish. The goal of the seminar is to help landowners understand the various options for finding and treating infested trees.

SpecificationsNotebook: Samsung N135-JA01NL
Processor: Intel Atom N270
Graphics Adapter: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950

Source: Kieskeurig NL→EN
Single Review, online available, Very Short, Date: 03/03/2010
Rating: Total score: 70% performance: 60% display: 80%
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).
These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Atom: The Intel Atom series is a 64-Bit (not every model supports 64bit) microprocessor for cheap and small notebooks (so called netbooks), MIDs, or UMPCs. The speciality of the new architecture is the "in order" execution (instead of the usual and faster "out of order" execution). Therefore, the transistor count of the Atom series is much lower and, thus, cheaper to produce. Furthermore, the power consumption is very low. The performance per Megahertz is therfore worse than the old Pentium 3M (1,2 GHz on par with a 1.6 GHz Atom).
Power efficient, cheap and slow Netbook single core CPU. Because of the in-order execution, the performance per MHz is worse than Core Solo or Celeron M processors.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
10.1": The netbook/subnotebook has a quite small display format. Nonetheless, it is a common format for netbooks. The advantage is, that the subnotebook/netbook can be small dimensioned and can be carried easily. Further the small display has the advantage, that it needs few energy, which improves the battery runtime and in consequence the mobility. The disadvantage is that the reading of texts is a bit exhausting for the eyes. It is difficult to use high resolutions. » To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
1.3 kg: This subnotebook is one of the most lightweight of all notebooks and can be carried very easily. There exist only few sub-notebooks, which weight less. 10 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
Samsung: The Samsung Group is composed of numerous international businesses, all united under the Samsung brand in South Korea. The meaning of the Korean word Samsung is "tristar" or "three stars". The Samsung brand is one of the most important brands of South Korea. Samsung is an international notebook manufacturer of medium size according market shares and reviews.
70%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.

CiscoWorks Blue Internetwork Status Monitor Release 3.0 (ISM) provides mainframe operators with full visibility of a Cisco router network from a single mainframe console. By utilizing many of the TME/10 NetView for OS/390 functions to deliver router management, Internetwork Status Monitor eliminates the need for retraining skilled mainframe operators. Familiar operator consoles with common function keys, help panels, event displays, and network logs help traditional MVS network operators ease their way into distributed network management.
Leveraging your investment in NetView, Internetwork Status Monitor Release 3.0 takes an already powerful management platform and expands on its capabilities. The features of Internetwork Status Monitor offer mainframe operators control of the routed network. Status summary displays provide the "big picture," while other functions such as event monitoring and command tutorials assist operators to diagnose the most difficult of problems.
ISM provides visibility of the router network to the virtual telecommunications access method (VTAM), enabling management through a NetView for multiple virtual storage (MVS) console. Commands traditionally entered at the router console can be issued from the mainframe console, and the responses are returned to the mainframe operator as a full-screen panel response. In addition to these responses, NMVT alerts are transported from the router to the mainframe where they are displayed by the NetView event display features.

Card dealing robot
Here's a card dealing robot that I've been tinkering with. This robot deals from the bottom of the pack using an NXT wheel to draw out a card. A second NXT wheel spinning 5 times quicker then 'spits' out the card. The whole device is mounted on a turntable to allow the robot to deal into different position.
Nothing overly spectacular, but I like how well the different speeds of the two wheels work to kick out the card.
The program is pretty straight forward and I've got image of it on the website, http://www.domabotics.com/projects.php

Nice one Damo! Really well created and programmed - yet so simple!
Why does it take out a third card and then push it back into the stack?

- Damien Kee said...
This was probably around 5 hours building over the space of a week, an hour hear and there although the idea had been bouncing around in my head for a while.
The first wheel has to spin long enough to draw out the card as well as continue running the second wheel to spit it out. By time it spits out the card from the 2nd wheel, the next card is already loading. A quick reverse of the motors brings it back into place. I could possible reduce the load time, but it was my second trial and error value and it worked well :)

Nice work Damo, cool idea. I was impressed that the cards don't flip over when they spit out.

You don't know how many takes it took to get the 'perfect' shot :)
hint: more than 5, less than 15.
So not terribly reliable but lots of fun none the less.

Any chance we could get a schematic for this robot? I've been trying to build something like this for over a year but could never get it to spit out single cards (or just a reliable number of cards)!

My reasoning is that there are a lot of really good Fantasy book series out there (I believe we're in something of a golden age for Fantasy Literature) but only ONE really good Fantasy TV series.* So I'll make the most of the TV series by not spoiling the suprises and plot twists for myself. Once the show is cancelled or catches up with the books I'll go back and start the first book.

LEGO Education calling FLL Coaches...
How has the NXT changed (or how might it change) your team's approach to working through the challenges? Are some tasks easier? More difficult? Tell us what you think.
They're asking for feedback, so please take a look here and let them know what you think...

Too soon to know - the rules for the mission tasks will not be posted until next Fri., 9/15/06 --
then the teams will start building & programing -
- Sep 8, 2006, 8:49:00 AM
I posted this there...
"I'm not a teacher, but I am a sixth year FLL coach.
Our team (made up this year of 6th and 4th graders) hasn't started meeting yet, but based on my son's and my co-coach's son's experiences so far, here is what I think:
- new teams will get productive much earlier in the season. The ability to get a beginning robot to go straight is dramatically improved.
- returning teams will have more of a learning curve than they expect. Building robots based primarily on Technic beams rather than Lego bricks requires a significantly different approach.
- its too early to tell for sure, but I expect teams' frustration with batteries will significantly decrease. More predictable performance and lower chances of losing the firmware during battery changes will be key!
Dennis from NH"
- Sep 8, 2006, 10:23:00 AM
This comment is prompted by Dennis' reference to changing batteries. A couple of months ago I realised a better way to change batteries is one cell at a time (as opposed to remove the whole set and the reinstall the whole set). In this way the RCX is never without power for more than a couple of seconds. (Don't know why it took so long to figure this one out!)
- Sep 8, 2006, 1:23:00 PM
We're trying to use RoboLab 2.9 to enable us to use the NXT & our RCX's too since we cannot buy several NXT's at this point.
Plus, those who personally purchased the RCX's (many, late in December just before the NXT was announced and now feel "misled"), are reasonably happy we are programming both bots.
Our frustration is we can't find tutorials on the RoboLab upgrades to know how to use them without going thru trial & error on each new icon etc hoping to find out what capabilities it has. Also, without the "go straight" function in RoboLab, the NXT arcs worse than any of our RCX's.
Thankfully, this year's mat has lots of black lines.
The children are reluctant to think of switching from the tried & true RCX at this point. Those who personally own RCX's are adament about not switching.
Also, no one wants to even look at the NXTG yet (club was comfortable with 2.5.4). Beside the new club bot NXT, we have one other NXT owned by a clubmember.
The battery issue is a huge advantage for the NXT in terms of reducing frustration! Now if RoboLab will add the "go straight" function, sonic sensor icon and allow for bluetooth....we would be able to keep everyone in our club happy...at leaste for this season.
- Sep 9, 2006, 10:00:00 PM
I posted the following on the site:
I'm a first year head coach (last year an assistant associate adjunct coach).
All the kids on my team are new, except my son, who was on a team last year. We've been meeting over the summer to get the new kids up to speed on building, problem solving, and programming. My team is very young, mostly 9-10, with my son the oldest at 12 years.
-Studless building will be more important than in prior years, since the NXT has no studs. I think that studs will be used, just not as heavily as in prior years. We need to buy more lift arms. My kids are loving putting Brian Davis' DAZLR together (instructions on-line are http://nxtasy.org/2006/09/06/dazlr/), but it takes a lot of pieces that we don't have. It is good practice for them, though. Other designs using the NXT are out there, but not always with good instructions.
-All of my kids are new (except my son) so they did not have to change over from the Robolab to the NXT software–this was a benefit, I think.
-The new programming interface is pretty good, though not perfect. I find the blocks too big to fit main on the screen at once. this makes it difficult to debug (although the icons indicate what the parameters are set to). The kids seem pretty adept at learning it.
-The interface still has a few bugs when wiring (it's not clear were the wire goes in some cases, especially when the wire goes through another block). Moving around blocks is also painful. I find it hard to select a large block and move it around. Any suggestions?
-Going straight is much easier.
-I'm not sure yet if the ultrasonic sensor will be useful or not for the competition. I doubt that it will be as useful as an extra touch or light sensor. I'm sure that it is unlikely to be able to sense the distance to anything but the wall. But the kids will be the ultimate decision makers the US's utility.
-The light sensors are more difficult to cover up. the old ones allowed one to build them into a solid housing which could shadow the reading area from ambient light. The NXT design does not facilitate that technique. My fluorescence lights appear only to make a few % points difference, but sunlight and incandescent lights (with more spectrum in the IR) will probably be more significant.
-My kids were able to get a two-sensor line follower going on their first night. This is due to the ease of programming, primarily.
-Contrary to recent bulletins on memory by Lego and FLL (http://www.firstlegoleague.org/default.aspx?pid=21330), I shocked that the NXT is so memory limited. The cheapest thumb drive has more memory than my NXT! The NXT software uses up a lot of memory. It is not very efficient. So we will have to guard our memory closely. I have not upgraded my firmware, yet, though due to concerns about frozen bricks.
-The data/power cords on the robot are stiff and difficult to keep out of the way. No biggy, just takes some getting used to.
-The motors are so sweet. Not just in going straight, but in the built-in rotation sensor, the power, and the control over the power output. Kids will easily be able to make the robot go at different speeds with confidence. The motors are a bit bulky, and that results in a lot of angled designs (to keep the bulky end off the ground).
-The ease of putting the NXT brick onto a robot and off of a robot with pins makes battery changing wonderful. Plus, one can build a robot without the brick with just extra motors. This is a cheap backup-robot strategy. We have two NXT bricks and 6 motors. One brickless robot is always in various stages of modification (it's on its way to being a DAZLR right now).
-Odometry will be much easier this year with those rotation sensors. Depending upon the challenges, I bet teams will be able to locate their robot within a few centimeters without line followers or light sensors. Our kids will have to decide which they prefer.

This message is in response to anonymous #2's comment regarding the NXT, Robolab 2.9 and going straight. In preparation for this year's FLL season I've been exploring Robolab 2.9 and the MINDSTORMS NXT system. I too realized the absence of a 'go straight' block so I decided to see how easy it would be to write one. In short, it was a bit tricky but not too bad. I've posted details of my solution on the web site I maintain for the robotics program at my son's elementary school. I welcome any comments anyone has about this.
I share the general concern about NXT-G program sizes. FLL's recent announcement of the efforts LEGO is making to solve this issue is encouraging enough that my team is going to start with NXT-G and only switch to Robolab if the space issues end up being a problem. As I mention in the go straight page linked above, I've found Robolab 2.9 programs to be about one-tenth the size of their NXT-G equivalents, so I believe there is plenty of room for improvement with NXT-G.

Thus as there are eight coupons, tt means 24 gallons of gasoline must last four months. In other words A-coupon holders will be permitted to use only six gallons a month on the average unless the Government comes to the rescue later on.

Kanye West Gossip
Kanye West gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Smutty Social Media - Monday, March 9, 2015
Wenn, KCS Presse/ Splash News
(Lainey: a new feature because celebrities can't help over-sharing on social media…) First off, she's stealing a phrase from a reality TV star. Second, can you break the internet when no one gives a sh*t about you anymore, Lindsay Lohan? It's cringe-worthy. Does she even feel embarrassment at this point? Break the Internet with clothes on😎. Full Story
Blonde Jared: new angles
KCS Presse/ Splash, Pascal Le Segretain/ Rindoff/ Dufour/ Jacopo Raule/ Getty Images
This is the only new blonde I want to talk about from Paris Fashion Week, even though there's been another new blonde who decided to cockblock the runway. At least Jared Leto's is for a role, you know? Anyway, yesterday I defended it, wondering whether or not it was the outfit – turtleneck, blazer, etc. Full Story
Taylor & Kanye have dinner
Sharpshooter Images/ #JDH Imagez/ Splash
Last night in New York. At The Spotted Pig. Taylor Swift and Kanye West were both there, papped leaving within minutes of each other after meeting for dinner supposedly to discuss their upcoming collaboration. This shouldn't be a surprise as he told Ryan Seacrest last week: "Yeah, she wants to get in the studio and we're definitely going to go in. Full Story
Rihanna wins
Wenn, Dave Kotinsky/ Johnny Nunez/ Raymond Hall/ Jerritt Clark/ Getty Images
Kanye West presented his new Adidas collection yesterday at NY Fashion Week. Beyonce and JayZ were there. Even Anna Wintour was there. And Justin Bieber had to sit in the second row. But the most stylish person at the event? Rihanna. Always Rihanna. Close second: the ridiculously beautiful Alexander Wang. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Did you know that both Taylor Swift and Kanye West were born in the Year of the Snake? If you're a Snake too, here's what my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, is advising for the Year of the Goat/Sheep:
Might not be the best year for personal relationships and, in particular, business relationships could be strained.
You need to be mindful of injury. Be very careful between the first week of March and the first week of April. And again between the first week of May and the first week of June. Those would be the ideal times to donate blood or to get your blood checked and/or see the dentist.
As for Taylor and Kanye, what would the Grammys have been without the two of them? You complain… but if you took them away from the action, considering that show was almost FOUR HOURS LONG, there would have been a lot less entertainment, a lot less for us to gossip about. Read Full Intro
Rihanna's meme dress

You know it was going to happen. That it wouldn't be long before Twitter turned Rihanna's Giambattista Valli Grammys dress into a meme. The meme: Rihanna Quince. Go look it up on Twitter. Here's a taste: rihanna wore this dress because she had to run to her quince guys pic.twitter.com/eiraTo4x4q Full Story
"No Kanye"
Kevin Mazur/ Lester Cohen/ Michael Tran/ Getty Images
After all these years, do you feel differently now about what Kanye West did to Taylor Swift at the VMAs? "Imma let you finish"? It's still a dick move, yes. But would you change Gossip History and remove it from the Gossip Books? I'm not even sure Taylor would want that expunged from the archives. Full Story
Rihanna: FourFiveSeconds fresh
Splash, Taylor Hill/ Christopher Polk/ Kevin Mazur/ Getty Images
Just released this morning – it's the video for Rihanna's FourFiveSeconds with Kanye West and Paul McCartney. I already mentioned last week how much I love LOVE LOVE the song. And this video… Sometimes they f-ck up a video, you know? Like it does nothing to enhance the music. Full Story
Rihanna's FourFiveSeconds
Have you heard it? Do you like it? Do you LOVE it? I LOVE it. Bought it right away and have it on repeat while I'm working. FourFiveSeconds will be on both Rihanna's upcoming R8 (whatever she decides to call it) and on Kanye West's new album. And now everyone is speculating about what sound Rihanna will be taking since this is so raw and stripped in comparison to the heavy dance beats she gave us last time. Full Story
Chris Rock or Moses?
Jim Spellman/ Mike Pont/ Getty Images
There's been a discussion lately about the whitewashing of Exodus. Sarah posted about it here the other day. Exodus opens on December 12. Some are calling for a boycott. Why don't we call it an alternative? Chris Rock's Top Five opens wide on the same day. Full Story

Apparently he hit up a costume store the other day with 4 women: "Thicke hit up Trashy Lingerie -- a supplier of celebrity undies -- and we're told he dropped $2,800 on his harem of hotties .

JDH Imagez/ Splash, Theo Wargo/ NBC/ Getty
Taylor Swift was on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Wednesday. She wore black and white. Then she changed into something else that was black and white before heading home. The hair is still not ideal. The shoe game however is working. While talking to Fallon, Taylor confirmed that she will perform at the MTV VMAs on August 24. Full Story
Beyonce was in the Hamptons
Lester Cohen/ Getty
Here's what I wrote on Friday: Is B going to the wedding this weekend? God I hope not. But how do they get out of it? Jay and Kanye are collaborators. Close collaborators. If he doesn't go, would be seen as a sign of disrespect, non? Well, they didn't go. Full Story
Beyonce's long hair
Beyonce was seen at her office in New York yesterday with some new very long braids. Sh-t. That must be heavy. I get hair headaches all the time just from the added weight of hairspray. Happily, Beyonce has stopped getting desperate on all her social media accounts to convince us that her perfect life really is perfect. Full Story

Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (TEDS) is a broadly evangelical seminary community united around the gospel of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
We offer educational programs that prepare men and women to engage in God's redemptive work in the world in many global & vocational contexts, such as counseling, academic teaching and writing, pastoral leadership, and missional service in an increasingly diverse set of circumstances. Coursework is available on our Deerfield campus, online, and at various extension sites in the midwestern United States.
Our dean, Tite Tiénou, tells new students every semester that TEDS is "pan-evangelical"—we embrace all evangelicals, of every variation. Our unity in the gospel makes possible a commitment to a broad evangelicalism that welcomes voices from various denominational and theological traditions. We believe "evangelical" ought to be defined first and foremost in theological terms (rather than socio-political or cultural terms), which is why we emphasize gospel-centeredness and the authority and inerrancy of Scripture. Our faculty combines care for their students with excellence in evangelical scholarship and a commitment to serving the local church in many national and international contexts.
These emphases—gospel centrality, inerrant Scripture, excellent evangelical scholarship that truly engages culture, and service to the church—have continually defined the TEDS community since its formal inception more than fifty years ago.
TEDS is part of Trinity International University. Trinity educates men and women to engage in God's redemptive work in the world by cultivating academic excellence, Christian faithfulness, and lifelong learning.

The two key ways we interface with our Camaros is through the gas pedal and the steering wheel. In essence, a lot of thought and effort are put into the throttle side of the equation. After all, going fast is fun, but if no love is given to the steering side, the results could be a fast car with a sloppy feel. It's a situation that can also be dangerous as you're zipping down the highway. Imagine a new Z06 'Vette with cruddy steering; what fun would that be?
One popular option is to replace the recirculating-ball steering box with a rack-and-pinion system, but this can lead to a lot of work and a much lighter wallet. Switching to a rack and pinion on a stock subframe can also cause fitment issues and undesired changes to the car's suspension geometry if it isn't done just right. Fortunately, companies like AGR offer replacement gearboxes that can give your vintage Camaro the feel of a new car. Best of all, the swap is easy and there's no need to sell family members to medical science to afford it.
This time-tested steering system is very rugged and preferred in racing organizations like NASCAR. The install isn't rocket science and your car will retain its factory look.
Recirculating Ball Steering Box
From about 1950 until sometime in the 1980s, the recirculating ball system was the standard in steering technology. In fact, it's still used in some heavy-duty truck applications. Gearboxes are set up with ratios that affect the number of times necessary to turn the steering wheel to get the front wheels to pivot.
A wide-ratio box may require up to 4.5 revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock, whereas a close ratio box of 12.7:1 only takes about three revolutions of the steering wheel to go from lock to lock. So, what difference does 1.5 revolutions make? Answer: a lot! You may not notice it that much driving down to the grocery store, but if you ever find yourself on a long and twisty road, the wide-ratio box will make you work much harder than the close-ratio box. More work tires you sooner and affects your driving performance, in turn taking a lot of fun out of the experience. Whereas the close-ratio box will make your car more responsive since it requires less driver input to change course.
In addition to the steering ratio, gearboxes can be adjusted for the amount of effort, or resistance you feel while turning the steering wheel. In a car set up with low resistance, you'll have very little feedback, and your car will have the feeling like it is floating around on the road. What's needed is a happy medium between low effort (when you are moving slow or sitting still) and a higher effort setup that would be good at speed. After all, you don't want to sneeze at 70 mph and end up in another lane.

Harry Reid's Triumph
At least when it comes to executive branch and (most) judicial branch appointments, to paraphrase Leonard Cohen, democracy is coming to the United States Senate. Senate Democrats responded to the Republican minority's blockade against any Obama appointments to the D.C. Circuit by eliminating the filibuster for most presidential nominations. This vote will likely be the most important congressional vote of President Obama's second term, and Senate Majority Harry Reid and most of the rest of the Democratic caucus deserve immense credit for pulling it off.
I have explained at length why I believe that the filibuster is an indefensible practice. The short version is that the American political system already has an inordinately high number of veto points, so anyone favoring additional extraconstitutional ones should face a very high burden of proof. The filibuster, with its long and dismal history of allowing overrepresented minorities to prevent Congress from addressing the interests of underrepresented ones, doesn't even come close.
Another way of knowing that Senate Dems did the right thing is to consider the emptiness of the threats being made in the wake of the filibuster's demise. Several opponents of abortion rights are crowing that this will allow Republicans to appoint anti-Roe justices to the Supreme Court. (Technically, the filibuster changes don't affect the Supreme Court, but it's clear that the deal will doom Supreme Court filibusters as well.) The rather obvious rejoinder to this is that Republican presidents will nominate anti-Roe justices no matter what, and it would be neither realistic nor desirable for a Democratic minority in the Senate to serially filibuster Republican Supreme Court nominees. The Senate did save Roe by stopping Robert Bork, but this was done with a straight up-or-down vote, not a filibuster. It's worth noting that with the filibuster in place, George W. Bush got two of the most reactionary nominees of the last 70 years confirmed to the Supreme Court. How much worse can the Republican nominees get than Sam Alito? Ted Cruz? Zombie Roger Taney?
The only decent argument against the rule change is that it should have been done at the beginning of the session rather than through the "nuclear option." But it's pretty hard for Republicans to invoke norms of behavior and bipartisan comity at this late date. Under McConnell's leadership the Republican minority has thrown away historical norms about the use of the filibuster. They can't have it both ways. And as the Prospect's Paul Waldman explains, one would have to be remarkably naive to think that Republicans wouldn't have done exactly the same thing if they were in the same position.
The real question is why Senate Republicans made such an obvious strategic blunder. The filibuster in general is more beneficial to Republican interests than Democratic ones, and it seems likely that Republicans could have stopped reluctant Democrats from detonating the nuclear option by letting one or two D.C. Circuit nominees get a vote earlier in the process. Why did they allow this to happen? I can think of three possible explanations:
Short-term thinking
Focusing on potential primarily challengers and unable to think strategically past their immediate goals, Senate Republicans didn't stop to consider that eliminating the filibuster (potentially for everything) would hurt their long-term interests. If this was true, they got routed both in the short- and long-term, and the behavior of the Republican conference was essentially irrational.
Misunderestimating Harry Reid
Senate Republicans—like many liberals—may have assumed that Reid's threats were empty. But Reid is sometimes mistaken for a weak leader precisely because like all competent political leaders he doesn't make broad threats he doesn't have the votes to back up. When he does make threats the underrated, very savvy Reid is likely to have the support to back it up. If they didn't grasp this, Republicans found out the hard way.
Some Senate Republicans may have convinced themselves that liberals will be more ruthless in their use the filibuster than conservatives. That is quite clearly false. The filibuster has almost always favored opponents of social reform, and since progressives generally want to do things and conservatives generally want to stop things this will almost certainly be true going forward. But never underestimate someone's ability to stop believing their own guff.
Whatever caused the Republicans to escalate Senate dysfunction enough to push Democrats over the edge, the reform of the filibuster is a great thing. Yes, it will allow Republican presidents to get a larger number of terrible judges confirmed too. But that's democracy—people who win elections should be able to govern. Democrats should be confident about their ability, over time, to triumph at the ballot box.

Funny, when Republicons were ramrodding through the nominations of judges who's only goal is to dismantle the constitution, I don't recall anyone calling them "Nazis", or referring to W as "Hitler." Amazing what happens to you Tea Baggers when you don't like the outcome. Why don't you grow up!

@eric: By all means, you and your friends must continue your enchanted reverie of Hamiltonian oligarchy - we don't want to wake such beautiful dreamers. The rest of us will take up the slack and deal with the dull inescapable everyday reality that the United States is a democracy, has been imperfectly so since at least the 1820s, and now will be that much more so thanks to Harry Reid.
Fri, 2013-11-22 11:26
@ mbohna, wrong, we are a Democratic Republic, we have never been a democracy at any time in our history. Now for the Nuc Option; the repub party tried years ago when Obama was in the Senate to do away with the filibuster and he was against it along with every other Dem there. He argued, as a constitutional lawyer, that taking away the filibuster was an infringement on free speech. So is this another case of he was against it before he was for it? Dictator of the Senate Harry Reid has just set us back to British Rule with his self serving departure to the debate rules of the Senate. What a pity.

Harry Reid would have kept the filibuster had the GOP used it responsibly. Unfortunately, Mitch is a tantrum-driven child who clearly needs adult supervision. His inept leadership has led to the current situation.
The GOP used to be the enlightened party and the home of the statesmen. Now it is the home of inbred hillbillies and hate groups.
Fri, 2013-11-22 14:07
It seems that no matter what the Democrats do, it is the Republicans' fault. Website not working? The Republicans didn't support it enough. Nuclear Option that Senator Obama once railed against? It is a good thing now because the GOP will NEVER have a majority in the Senate.
I am a self-confessed right winger. I am a small government, fiscal conservative. That's right, kids. I am a member of the evil TEA Party. I didn't want the nuclear option used when the GOP was in power, and I don't want it now, but not for the reasons you may think. I am a fiscal conservative. Socially, I am small-government, which means that if you want to get married, go ahead. I don't care to whom, as long as you both (or more) are consenting adults. I don't think it is the government's place to tell people how to live. And I do not want an ultra-conservative on the SCOTUS bench, but that is what is going to happen now. I think that the author of this piece forgot that if the filibuster did not exist, Harriet Meyers would probably be a sitting judge.
We, collectively, will rue this day. Make no mistake. This is ugly. And all the people who are cheering this now are going to be screaming in the future about how the Republican majority is squashing the rights of the minority Democrats. Politics, like much in life, is cyclical. And what comes around, goes around. For all the people saying, "the GOP brought this upon themselves," you just keep saying that to yourself if it will help you sleep better. The Democrats have, once again, forsaken the long-term for feeling good about the now. Much like overspending the budget, at some point in the future, it is going to turn around and bite us, collectively, on the rear-end. And if you think that Washington had abandoned the spirit of bipartisan co-operation before, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Two things:
1) Eric, you have bought into the media tripe of "Bitter-Clingers" and "Rednecks" hook, line and sinker. It is a load of crap. There are many of us who are enlightened, just like there are many of you who are self-centered elitist snobs who couldn't find their ass with a map, two hands and a funnel. Don't believe it.
2) The Democrat idea of "responsible use of the filibuster" is for the GOP is to never use it at all. No one on the left had a problem with it when they were using it to block the GOP. It was there for a reason. But reason has left the building, and Washington DC, altogether.

When Mitch McConnell publicly stated that "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," it became obvious that the Republican Party had no interest in governing this country. Regardless of what actually needed to be done to make things better for the American citizen, the GOP was going to ignore that in its quest to prevent the President's reelection.
Additionally, when Republicans such as Richard Mourdock publicly state that "...bipartisanship becomes having Democrats come our way," it appears that the GOP position is "our way or the highway."
If you read the US Constitution, you will find no mention of the filibuster, or the Senate having to get 60 votes in order to do anything. What you will find is the concept of majority rule. A reality of majority rule is that the majority rules. If Republicans are the majority, they rule. If Democrats are the majority, they rule. That's how it works.
There really is no responsible use of the filibuster, as it is no more than a ploy to allow a few disgruntled people to ride roughshod over the desires of the majority. Face it - Romney lost, Obama won. Deal with it.
Fri, 2013-11-22 11:18
I find it fascinating that a well educated Assistant Professor of Political Science would not know the history of Democrat's use of the filibuster against President Bush's judicial nominees. I would recommend the author run a quick google search on Miguel Estrada. Despite having clear majority support in the Senate Mr. Estrada was sucessfully kept off the very same court in question here. This filibuster "arms race" began with the Democrats and was escalated by the Republicans. Blaming this situation on a single party is rank partisianship and a denial of historical fact. This action will be the effective end of the filibuster in the Senate for better or worst. Any person of sound mind certainly realizes that the next time a filibuster is used on legislation by either party on a crucial vote, the filibuster will be ended on legislation as well. In the end, I think both parties will suffer as a result of this change but time will tell.
Fri, 2013-11-22 11:50
You cite, correctly I'm sure, one example of a person who maybe should have been allowed to successfully passed cloture during the Bush administration. I would therefore recommend that you run more than a quick google (or Bing, if you are so inclined) for the number of highly qualified executive and judicial nominees just during the Obama administration who have been blocked because of the Republican intransigence to Obama. You could possibly start by viewing the video of Senator Graham still insisting that he would block all of Obama's judicial nominees despite the fact that the most of Bengazi incident he was basing his anger on turned out to be a fabrication.
Fri, 2013-11-22 11:51
With all the screaming about how the parties cannot work together, you would think that absolutely no one would favor this. If you thought partisanship was bad before, look out. Every 4-8 years we will get wild swings in policy, regulations, and the courts.
I am a conservative. I was against the idea when the GOP considered it during bush's term. The GOP, as much as they wanted to do it, knew it was bad for government and for minority interests. Biden, Obama, Feinstein, and yes, Sir Harry, all gave passionate pleas at that time to keep the filibuster intact. Shows how hypocritical they are.
Fri, 2013-11-22 13:02
Hypocritical is as hypocritical does (to paraphrase someone of better literary talents). I seem to recall a then Majority McConnell saying that the President's nominees deserve an up or down vote based on their qualifications, not political considerations. The Democrats unfortunately(and now obviously foolishly) complied and it resulted in numerous far-right leaning judges, pro-Big Business "regulators" and Supreme Court Justices Roberts and Alito. Care to comment on that?
Fri, 2013-11-22 12:26
Fri, 2013-11-22 13:27
Uhm, only the Supreme Court can "overturn" a Supreme Court decision. Roe v. Wade is a Supreme Court Decision. Congress and the
And Obamacare cannot be overturned by only the Senate. See, Congress passes a law, and then it goes to the President, who can either veto it or simply not sign it. Either way, it would take 2/3 of the House and Senate to ove-rride the President. 2/3, FYI, is not a simple majority.
In short, no, Republicans cannot overturn either with a simple majority. The would need the President in either case.
Fri, 2013-11-22 13:15
The Democrats really didn't have a choice - we all know the next time we let our guard down and republicans rule the Senate, they would have no qualms about making changes such as this. Then, the Democrats will be attacked for not taking advantage when they had the chance. Look, I hate the idea that the other side will eventually be in control, but it's ludicrous to even think they will have any restraint given the tea party and religious cancer that seems to overtaken them.
Fri, 2013-11-22 13:46
Fri, 2013-11-22 14:27
If you would do a little research, you will find that the rules of Presidential impeachment are imbedded in the U.S. Constitution and cannot be changed by a simple (minded?) vote in the Senate. You should stop using silly fear-mongering to support your anger at this unfortunate but necessary incident brought on by the continuous absurd Republican obstruction to anything Democratic or Obama related.
Fri, 2013-11-22 13:55
They can't have it both ways. And as the Prospect's Paul Waldman explains, one would have to be remarkably naive to think that Republicans wouldn't have done exactly the same thing if they were in the same position.
Read Sen. Biden's reproach of this power grab when it was a Republican Senate, and they did not change the rules.
Fri, 2013-11-22 14:13
That is just it. They did not change the rules. Even though the GOP felt that the Democrats were being obstructionalists, they kept the rule. And for good reason; someday the shoe will be on the other foot.
With Obamacare as bad as it is, the foot changing may be sooner than later. Or is there another reason why they pushed back the business exemption by a month to make sure that it happens after the mid-terms...
Fri, 2013-11-22 14:34
Nice try. First, the Dems did not obstruct federal judicial appointments.
Second, guess what percentage of the the number of Republican obstructions since Obama took office with in the entire history of the US Senate.
About half. Half in four years, compared to the rest of our history.
The facts are as simple as their implications: the Dems changed the rules of the Senate because the 108 year old rule was being abused by the Republicans.
Fri, 2013-11-22 16:08
Detroit was and the perfect example of a DEM city that has fallen flat on its face due to their belief they have the RIGHT to live off OTHER peoples $ / wealth / SWEAT just because they exist as they are in "bankruptcy."
New York with its new Mayor will start its FALL into "bankruptcy."
California already is in "bankruptcy." Jerry Brown is in total denial.
Chicago is also starting its FALL into "bankruptcy."
Chicago Again Hit With Triple Debt Downgrade -
All of these entities are run by Dems and libs and tried o make their own Nirvana. There are more.
Somebody ELSE has gotta pay their way is always forgotten.
Soon other peoples $ will NOT be there. Obama care taxes WILL suck it all up from the makers or payers to pay for the takers. What happens when the $ runs out and the takers get mad?

Oh goodie, lets play the list game. Top ten poorest states based on median income, unemployment rate and poverty rate:
1. Mississippi 6. Montana
2. Arkansas 7. South Carolina
3. Tennessee 8. Kentucky
4. West Virginia 9. Alabama
5. Louisiana 10. North Carolina
Hardly bastions of the Democratic party.

"Nevada continued to have the nation's highest unemployment rate, at 9.3 percent. That is down from 9.4 percent in September. The states with the next highest rates were Rhode Island, at 9.2 percent; Michigan, 9 percent; Illinois, 8.9 percent; and California, 8.7 percent."

the article is a great sample of unscientific and non-critical thinking. I'm sorry for students of mr. Lemieux :(

DATE & TIME: Friday, November 16, 8 pm (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: FAU Stadium (30,000) -- Boca Raton, Florida. Television: ESPNU. Home Record: FIU 1-4, FAU 2-1. Away Record: FIU 1-4, FAU 1-6. Neutral Record: FIU 0-0, FAU 0-0. Conference Record: FIU 1-5, FAU 2-4. Series Record: Florida Atlantic leads, 8-1.
GAME NOTES: A couple of Sun Belt Conference squads that are both shooting for back-to-back wins for the first time this season get together in Boca Raton on Friday night, as the Owls of Florida Atlantic and the FIU Panthers clash in what has become known as the Shula Bowl.
Neither one of these programs is heading to the postseason this year, but there is still a matter of bragging rights to be had in the Sunshine State.
The Panthers are coming off just their second win of the season back on Nov. 3 when they defeated South Alabama on the road in a 28-20 final. The decision snapped a seven-game slide for the squad since it had slipped by Akron in overtime in early September, 41-38.
As for the Owls, they have a total of just three triumphs in 2012, thanks to a 37-28 decision over Western Kentucky on the road last weekend. That win was the second in the last three outings for the program and just the second against another opponent from the Football Bowl Subdivision.
The Owls have won all but one of the previous 10 matchups in the series with FIU, although there was a 52-6 triumph for FIU back in 2005 that had to be vacated. Last season the Panthers picked up a convincing 41-7 victory at Alfonso Field which means they are gunning for consecutive wins in the series for the first time this week.
FIU's offense has been mediocre at best this season as it ranks near the bottom in several key stats in the Sun Belt, with one of the most glaring numbers being the three sacks per game the offensive line is giving up. Nevertheless, Jake Medlock has still bought enough time for himself and the passing attack to generate 237.1 ypg, throwing for 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions thus far. Wayne Times, who has caught at least one pass in 27 straight games, third-longest in school history, has 50 catches on the season for 486 yards but has just a single TD.
Instead, most of the scoring glory has gone to Darian Mallory who has carried the ball 89 times for 367 yards and nine scores, the rushing attack accounting for 18 TDs overall.
Unfortunately, the team's scoring defense has been rather weak for the most part, even though they've given up just 34 combined points in the last two outings. The group is averaging 33.3 ppg permitted which is last in the league and 98th in the nation right now.
Tourek Williams has been a standout performer for the group with his 11.5 tackles for loss and four sacks, both of which pace the program. Another player to keep an eye on is Jordan Hunt who was named the SBC Defensive Player of the Week earlier this month when he made a team-best 11 tackles, forced one fumble, broke up a pair of passes and made an interception versus South Alabama.
Claiming the spotlight for the Owls last week in the win over Western Kentucky was quarterback Graham Wilbert who not only threw for 257 yards and a couple touchdowns, he also ran for another score in the victory on the road. Daniel McKinney turned his four catches into 48 yards and a couple of touchdowns for the visitors, while William Dukes stretched the field for the Owls with nine catches for 104 yards as well.
The defense for the Owls limited WKU to just 288 yards of total offense, picked off three passes and forced a fumble late in the meeting which was returned nine yards for a score by Keith Reaser to put the game out of reach. Reaser also picked off once pass and made one stop behind the line of scrimmage for FAU along the way.
Even with all of those forced turnovers last weekend, FAU still ranks fourth in the conference and tied for 52nd nationally with plus-0.10 turnovers per contest. Like FIU, the Owls also have a tough time fighting their way up the field with just 1.1 sacks per game and 4.4 TFLs per game.
Perhaps the best weapon on either side of the ball for the Owls, Wilbert is completing close to two-thirds of his passes for better than 200 ypg and has tossed 14 TDs, against a mere three picks on 316 attempts.
With very little to play for beyond this weekend, this is a game that takes on major significance for both sides and is one that is FAU's to lose right now.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Florida Atlantic 31, FIU 27

Note:For students who are not currently teaching in an international school, the assignments should be approached either from the perspective of an international school with which they are familiar or what it would take for a school with which they are familiar to become an 'international' school.
Schools, unlike other commercial and industrial businesses, have learning as their central focus. This unit concentrates attention on the ways in which systematic educational processes, both internal and external, can be managed in ways that enhance the processes of teaching and learning in the context of international schools. The variety of International Schools is examined in terms of the educational needs of students in particular communities and the match or mismatch between educational needs and system provisions are considered. The various forms of support and legitimation of curriculum and assessment processes offered by various governmental, non-governmental, independent and transnational agencies is also considered as are the brokering arrangements between such schools and other educational institutions.
Assignment 1 50% (3000 words)
A case study of either a) educational systems that support teaching and learning or b) the human and physical resources that support the educational objectives of a school, with particular attention to the implications of its claim to be 'international'.
Assignment 2 50% (3000 words)
A case study of either a) the relationship between the school and its 'international' community or b) the relationship between the school and the networks of support to which it is affiliated internationally.
