Court: Lower Arizona contributions limits remain
PHOENIX -- A new Arizona law allowing people to contribute more money to candidates for statewide office is on hold amid a legal challenge.
In the meantime, the old limits on campaign contributions remain in place, a state Court of Appeals said in an opinion Thursday. The appeals court is also sending the case back to a trial judge to consider legal issues the judge's initial ruling didn't cover.
A lawsuit by the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission, the panel that oversees the state's public campaign finance system, is challenging the higher limits approved by the Legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer earlier this year. The judge last month rejected the commission's request to put the higher limits on hold pending a decision on the lawsuit.
However, the Court of Appeals in an Oct. 15 order blocked the higher limits. The appeals court's opinion issued Thursday keeps that order in place while explaining what it wants done next.
The court said the commission raised ``serious questions'' about the constitutionality of the 2013 law.
It said it sent the case back to the trial judge because that judge apparently didn't adequately consider possible First Amendment issues involving restrictions on campaign contributions.
``We emphasize, however, that we have reached no opinion as to the ultimate resolution of the parties' arguments regarding the constitutionality of the ... limits under the Arizona Constitution and the First Amendment,'' Judge Patricia Norris wrote for a three-judge panel.
Under the new limits, the amount an individual would be able to contribute per election cycle to a legislative candidate would rise to $4,000 from $390.
The commission's lawsuit argues that the legislation violated a constitutional protection for voter-approved laws.
A 1998 voter-approved law creating the public campaign finance system included limits on private campaign contributions to candidates for state offices.
Also in 1998, Arizona voters approved restrictions on the Legislature's authority to change voter-approved laws without submitting the proposed changes to voters.
Republicans called the existing contribution limits too low and said the voter-protection law didn't bar lawmakers from changing the limits.

Batali calls these soft cookies unscotti because they are baked once, unlike biscotti, which are crisp and baked twice.
YIELD: Makes about 20
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly sprinkle large rimmed baking sheet with flour. Combine 2 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, aniseed, and salt in medium bowl; whisk to blend.
Using electric mixer, beat sugar and oil in large bowl until thick. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then liqueur. Beat in flour mixture just until blended. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface. Gather dough together; divide in half. Shape each half into 9 1/2-inch-long log (about 3 inches wide), sprinkling with more flour if dough is very sticky. Transfer logs to prepared baking sheet. Bake logs until tops are golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, turning sheet once to brown evenly, about 35 minutes. Cool on sheet 15 minutes. Using serrated knife, cut logs on slight diagonal into 3/4-inch-wide slices. Transfer cookies to racks and cool.

Obama camp tries to regain offensive in ACORN war
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
The Barack Obama campaign today called for the Attorney General to investigate what they allege is illegal conduct and improprieties in the âanti-fraudâ campaign orchestrated by the John McCain campaign.
Yesterday, reports surfaced that the FBI was investigating ACORN, the grass-roots group whose voter registration tactics have become an issue in the presidential race. That leak came a day after John McCain accused ACORN of âcommitting potentially one of the greatest frauds of voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy in this country.â
Bob Bauer, general counsel for the Obama campaign, calls the FBIâs leak after McCainâs debate comments an "unholy alliance" reminiscent of the U.S. Attorneys scandal in which a Special Prosecutor is currently reviewing political pressure applied to U.S. Attorneys which resulted in eight of them being fired in 2006.
David Iglesias was a U.S. Attorney in New Mexico who was fired because he would not prosecute alleged voter fraud after being pressured to do so by New Mexico GOP Senator Pete Domenici.
Iglesias told the website Talking Points Memo today that, "I'm astounded that this issue is being trotted out again. Based on what I saw in 2004 and 2006, it's a scare tactic.â
When asked if the Obama camp doesnât take voter fraud charges seriously, as has been alleged by the McCain camp, Bauer said they certainly did.
Bauer sent a seven-page letter sent to Attorney General Michael Mukasey and to the Special Prosecutor Nora Dannehy investigating the firing of the U.S. Attorneys back in 2006. Bauer said the facts and the law require Dannehy to look at the recent partisan Republican activities throughout the country. He says the GOP seeks to both suppress the vote and to unduly influence investigations and prosecutors through baseless allegations of voter fraud â which was what the department of Justice said happened back in the 2006 election cycle.
Earlier today John McCainâs campaign manager, Rick Davis said the press reports about the FBIâs investigation confirm what the McCain camp has known.
For a couple of weeks now, the McCain camp has tried to link ACORNâs problems with Obama. In Wednesday nightâs debate, Obama acknowledged the work he did with the group when he was a community organizer in the 1990s.
But the McCain camp has been pressing the Obama team to explain $832,000 that the Obama camp paid to an ACORN subsidiary, called Citizens Services.
Davis said a cloud of suspicion hangs over the general election because of ACORNâs alleged miscues. He was asked by a reporter if he doesnât get the answers heâs looking for, will the McCain camp claim the election wasnât fair? Davis said the more public scrutiny on the issue, the better.
ACORNâs leadership has contacted former Republican Senators John Danforth and Warren Rudman to request a meeting. The men are chairmen of the McCain campaignâs âHonest and Open Election Committee.âcomments powered by Disqus

Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac Essential Training highlights the important features of this comprehensive image editing application. Photographer Jan Kabili shows how to use Photoshop Elements 8, along with its companion program, Bridge CS4, to organize and edit photos, build projects like web galleries and photo collages, and share photos with family and friends. Jan dives deep into the application's editing tools, which rival those of the full product, Photoshop, in their ability to take snapshots and turn them into great photos. Exercise files accompany the course.
If you have multiple files that you want to resize or rename or reformat, one of the most useful features in Elements 8 is the Process Multiple Files Automatic command. I am going to use that feature on these three images but normally, I would have more images on which I would run the feature and I might use it if I want to do something like create a batch of thumbnails for use on a webpage or resize and reformat a number of images to send by email or to post to a blog. Before I get started, I want to see how big these files are.
So I am going to click-and-drag on the bottom-right corner of one of them and there in the document information area, I'll click to see that this file is 430 pixels tall by 286 wide and I know that the other two are the same. I would like to cut that height in half making them all 215 pixels tall so that they are thumbnail sized. I will move this image away so you can see the other two. With these three files open in Elements, I am going to go up to the File menu and go down to Process Multiple Files.
That opens the big Process Multiple Files dialog box. Let's run through the fields here setting it up. I will go to the Process Files From field and I could choose to process files that are in a folder or those I am importing from a scanner or those that I have selected in Bridge. But I am going to use Opened Files because I do have these three files open already in Elements. So that sets the Source field. Now I'll go to the Destination field and I'll tell Elements where to save the processed files.
I'll click the Browse button. I'll go to my desktop and I am going to make a new folder called 'processed' and click Create and I'll choose that folder. I'll leave Same as Source unchecked because I don't want the processed files in the same location as my source files. Then I'll go to the File Naming section. I don't have to rename the processed files, but I can. So I'll make sure that Rename Files is checked and then I'll set up a formula for renaming here. I am going to click this first menu and I am going to start off with a date, year, month, and then day.
I'll click the next menu and this one I am going to set to a 2 Digit Serial Number. In the Starting serial number field, if I already have some files that are named in this series starting with number 1, I could change this to another number, say, 5. And here, I have an example of what a file name might look like, the year, the month, the day and a 2 Digit Serial Number starting with 5 and then the format, although I am going to change the format from GIF to JPEG. I will also make the resulting files compatible with all of the operating systems and then I will come to the Image Size field.
I don't have to resize the images but I am going to, so I will make sure that Resize Images is checked. I am going to go to this Width field, which is currently set to pixels and has a number in it and I am going to select that number of pixels and then press the Delete key on the keyboard. Then I am going to go down to the Height field, make sure it is set to pixels and click there. Now you remember that I said before I started that I wanted to make the height of the images 215 pixels. So I will type that in and I will leave Constrain Proportions checked so that the width will be proportional to the height.
I don't have to fill in a number there. I am also not going to worry about resolution because, in this case, I am sizing images by pixels and so the Resolution field doesn't really matter. Now I'll go to the File Type field and I do want to convert these files so that they are in the proper format for posting to the web as photographs and that's JPEG. So, I will click Convert Files to, I'll click on this Format menu and I will choose one of the JPEGs. I am going to choose JPEG Medium Quality. The higher the quality the bigger the file size will be and because I am going to post these to the web, I'd like the file size to be relatively small, but I don't want to lose too much photo-quality.
So, I'll compromise with JPEG Medium Quality. I am going to ignore this field for now and I will come over to the Quick Fix area where I can choose to apply either Auto Levels, Auto Contrast or Auto Color, some features that I covered in the movies about the Quick Fix workspace. I actually don't like to apply auto settings particularly when I can't see the results but just as an example, I'll put a checkmark next to Sharpen so that the images are sharpened as they are processed. And finally, I can add either a watermark or a caption to my photos as they are processed.
I'll leave this set to Watermark and in the Custom Text field, I am going to type some copyright information. I'll press the Option key and tap the G key to create a copyright symbol and then I'll type my name and the date. I am going to position this watermark on the bottom right. I'll leave the font at its default and I'll make the font size somewhat smaller. I'll try maybe 12 points. I'll leave the watermark at 50% opacity so it's relatively see-through and then in the Color field, I am going to click to open the color picker and I am going to make my watermark white and click OK.
Now that I've set up all these controls, I am finally ready to run the Automatic Multiple File Processing on these three images. So I will click OK and in just a second, Elements has done its work. I am going to go out to my desktop to see the results. There is my destination folder, the processed folder. I am going to open that by double- clicking and in that folder, I can see three processed images with their brand- new names and if I open one of them by double-clicking it, I see that it does contain the watermark, the copyright symbol and my name and 2009 in faint letters and I am going to make this document window bigger by clicking and dragging on the bottom-right corner, so that I can see the document information.
If I click-and-hold, I'll see that the image has been resized to 215 pixels with a proportionate width and the other two images were processed the very same way. So you can see how very useful this command, File>Process Multiple Files can be when you want to rename, resize, reformat or apply some quick fixes or add watermarks or captions to multiple images at once.

Juba — South Sudan's government has kicked off a series of consultative meetings ahead of an upcoming campaign for a process of healing on national reconciliation in the country.
The consultations aim to share ideas and mobilise support for the planned national reconciliation campaign in order to put to rest past differences among South Sudan's tribes and clans and focus on the future.
The first consultative meeting took place on Saturday between the government and the international organisations operating in South Sudan. The meeting chaired by the Vice President of the Republic, Riek Machar Teny, brought together the organising committee for the reconciliation process and the international non-governmental organisations.
Machar in his remarks told the representatives of the international NGOs that the national reconciliation has become a priority of the government after independence, adding that without forgiveness and reconciliation among the people, the badly needed development of the country would be affected by the lingering past and present inter-communal conflicts.
The meeting was cordial with members of the international NGOs expressing their willingness to support the initiative technically and financially.
The Presidential Advisor on Decentralisation and Intergovernmental Linkages, Tor Deng Mawien, also told the press that more consultative meetings will take place over the next few days with different stakeholders.
The next consultative meetings will include faith-based groups, local NGOs and civil society organisations as well as political parties, he said.
Mawien who also chairs the organising committee for the national reconciliation further added that 200 people will be selected as "peace mobilisers" and trained wit assistance of the Initiative of Change International before the scheduled April conference on reconciliation.
A number of former presidents and prime ministers as well as religious prominent leaders have been invited to the conference from Europe, Australia, America and Africa to deliver speeches on the importance of national reconciliation and good governance.
The conference is scheduled to convene in April and to be followed by peace and reconciliation campaigns in South Sudan's ten states in a process which is expected to go on for many years.

"Product was received (internationally) very quickly and is very high quality. The photo could have been better but that's my doing for not choosing a better quality resolution. Very simple to personalise and make modifications. Very happy with outcome and will use Tiny Prints again."
"The card stock was excellent, and the pictures were adorable. I hope the make this in other colors, it is a chocolate brown."
"The day after I placed my order, I received a call from a very nice woman from Tiny Prints who was working on our invitations. She informed me that, despite her efforts to correct it, one of the pictures I submitted was too blurry to use. She was genuinely concerned that the quality of our cards would suffer and recommended that we submit an alternate photo. I submitted a new photo and was thrilled with the results when our invitations arrived. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive a hand written thank you note from the lady who spoke with me on the phone. I was blown away by the gesture. The level of customer service at Tiny Prints is outstanding! This is my third order with the company and I intend to stay loyal. ."
"Adorable card! I was even able to have a mini photo shoot outside with my son for this invitation. I had him cup his hands around his mouth and pretend to shout "All Aboard" and it fit perfect in that first photo slot with the caption. Very pleased with this selection!"
"The card looks really cute with all the diffrent photos. Nice quality and really cute to see how the baby changes from birth to one year. wonderful keepsake for baby album! Service was fast and always is when I order from Tiny Prints. I have used them a lot and am always pleased with the end product!"

It's murder cold as steel, but who would say
but the magistrate, and the fool?
food for the fisherman and his cohorts,
their children going to school.
It's murder that got away from many eyes,
one day, next time, 'til there's none
to kill, and lo! to the culprits now robbed
by none other but what they've done.
And the sea becomes still in emptiness:
where have the Chondrichthyes gone,
their allies that make the web of living,
the children going to school? ~

An integral form of the variational nodal method is formulated, implemented, and tested. The method combines an integral transport treatment of the even-parity flux within the spatial node with an odd-parity spherical harmonics expansion of the Lagrange multipliers at the node interfaces. The response matrices that result from this formulation are compatible with those in the VARIANT code at Argonne National Laboratory. Spatial discretization within each node allows for accurate treatment of homogeneous or heterogeneous node geometries. The integral method is implemented in Cartesian x-y geometry and applied to three benchmark problems. The method's accuracy is compared to that of the standard spherical harmonic formulation of the variational nodal method, and the CPU and memory requirements of the two approaches are compared and contrasted. In general, for calculations requiring higher-order angular approximations, the integral method yields solutions with comparable accuracy while requiring substantially less CPU time and memory than the spherical harmonics approach.

One manŌĆÖs journey to raise money for charity is taking him across the country and back, and heŌĆÖll be walking every step of it.
Matt ParrishŌĆÖs mission, which he is calling the ŌĆ£Trek of Hope,ŌĆØ is to raise money and awareness for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation by walking from Tampa to Los Angeles and back again.
Parrish, an army veteran who served in Iraq, came up with the idea last December when he found himself at a crossroads in his life.
ŌĆ£I was active duty until April 2010. I started going to school in Georgia, but I just knew that wasnŌĆÖt right. I was just biding my time and trying to figure out something else to do with my life,ŌĆØ Parrish said. ŌĆ£So I thought ŌĆśWhat can I do?ŌĆÖ Well, I can help somebody. I can affect and change somebody elseŌĆÖs life.ŌĆØ
He found the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF), which provides support to the special operations members of the military and their families. The foundation provides financial support to families if they are injured or killed, and grant college scholarships to every child who has lost a parent who served as special operations. The foundation currently serves 760 children, and have seen 143 graduate from college.
ŌĆ£When Matt first contacted us with the idea in mid-December of 2010, we were impressed with his enthusiasm and his desire to support with the foundation, ŌĆ£ Wendy Bourland, the Communications and Events Manager of SOWF, said. ŌĆ£ However, we were also a bit skeptical, because he wanted to depart on the Trek in mid-January, less than a month away. And we realized this was going to be a huge challenge for him both physically and mentally.ŌĆØ
Despite the challenges that come with walking thousands of miles on foot, like a whole lot of blisters, Parrish is unfailingly optimistic and focused on his goal. He hopes to raise money for the foundation and spread awareness about their mission.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm hurt, IŌĆÖm sore in the mornings when I wake up and it takes me a little while to get moving. But I definitely get the easy end of my bargain,ŌĆØ Parrish said. ŌĆ£In a yearŌĆÖs time I get to stop and say ŌĆśHey, IŌĆÖm done. Mission accomplished. ItŌĆÖs over for me.ŌĆÖ But the people and the families in the community that IŌĆÖm walking for donŌĆÖt get it so easy.ŌĆØ
While Parrish did not serve in special operations during his time in the Army, he said the community is still very important to him. He explained that because they are often on covert operations, the public doesnŌĆÖt hear much about special operations casualties or injuries. They are, however, more likely to be killed or injured due to the particularly dangerous situations they are often sent into.
ŌĆ£Since they donŌĆÖt get the same air play, theyŌĆÖre kind of forgotten about. Now on the opposite end of the spectrum, you have Hollywood that loves to produce a movie that is about superheroes and special ops guys that get shot up 20 times, still complete the mission and get the girl at the end, right?ŌĆØ Parrish said. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not like that. These guys are super human to a point, they are superheroes to a point, but theyŌĆÖre flesh and blood like the rest of us.ŌĆØ
So about two months ago, he started walking. He carries only the essentials with him: a sleeping bag, tent, a few changes of clothes, and some toiletry items. He walks 15 to 20 miles a day along the various highways using Interstate 20 as his guide. Most nights he camps out in the woods, but people often offer to him a place to stay when they hear his story.
He keeps a blog and a Facebook page to document the Trek and his adventures along the way. He manages to keep it all going using an iPhone and a solar charger.
He made his way up Florida into Georgia, and walked across Alabama and made it into Mississippi a few days ago. Along the way, heŌĆÖs met people that have helped him out in one way or another after hearing about his cause. Parrish made it a point to stop in Starkville yesterday so he could visit his friend, Jonathan Phillips, who plays football for Mississippi State University.
ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs great. I like to see someone who wants to actually take action by making a change, making a difference,ŌĆØ Phillips said. ŌĆ£Not just saying they want to do something, but actually make a change in their own life and make it happen. I think itŌĆÖs a good example to a lot of people.ŌĆØ
Parrish initially thought it would take him between 7 and 9 months to finish his journey, but now he believes it will take at least a year. On his return trip, he will be taking a different route so he can reach as many people as possible. While his goal is to raise $25,000, he hopes to raise much more. He has already raised over $6,000 for the foundation through online donations.
ŌĆ£Two months in, we are very impressed with MattŌĆÖs attitude, his fundraising skills, and most importantly, his ability to connect with the people he meets along the way,ŌĆØ Bourland said. ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs been a great ambassador for the SOWF and its mission, and we will support him any way we can.ŌĆØ

ŌĆ£You need something crazy and unique and different in this time period to draw attention,ŌĆØ Parrish said. ŌĆ£And to walk across the country; first of all, who walks anywhere these days? So it does draw attention. It grabs peopleŌĆÖs awareness really quickly. Awareness is half of this mission.ŌĆØ

Don't you wish you could wave a wand and watch The Secret Circle right this minute? September 15th is still a week away, but you can distract yourself from broomstick fever with these fun facts about Phoebe Tonkin –– The Secret Circle's wicked witch of the Pacific Northwest!
Phoebe's originally from Australia and rocks a sexy Aussie accent. So how did she perfect that American twang for her role as Faye? She told Nylon her secrets: "Before the pilot, I'd worked with an accent coach and just practiced a lot, but to be honest, I grew up watching The OC and Friends so I've picked it up a lot from there. I joke that I had the Seth Cohen guide to the American accent."
Friends? The OC? Sounds like Phoebe is our kinda gal –– and she has great taste in music, too! "I'm a huge Radiohead fan, like, huge. I also like Cat Power and I'm into this band called The Swell Season who I caught at Coachella. On set I've started listening to Smashing Pumpkins, just to get into the realm of Faye's head, because it's a little bit dark."
Speaking of Faye, we're dying to know what we can expect from Chance Harbor's most villainous mean girl! "I think Faye is really unpredictable," Phoebe says. "You see, she was quite misguided by her mother, had a few bad boyfriends, which led her to become sort of a destructive person to herself and to others. Now that she's come into these huge powers, she doesn't necessarily want to use them for terrible things, but she just doesn't know her boundaries."
Let's just hope she doesn't up and accidentally kill anyone, right ladies?

A white and gray kitchen – bringing the outside in
Or is it the inside out? Love the colors here, love the wall of almost iridescent tiles, all the open shelves, the island hood, and the way the wood warms up the cool color scheme.
But what really makes this kitchen for me is its wide open connection to the outdoors – see how the colors are repeated in the exterior materials? (Fresh Locations)

Can we agree that Don Draper sunk to a new low of lousy parenting last season on "Mad Men" when he barely took pains to hide his infidelity with the neighbor lady? That recklessness pretty much ensured that someone would walk in on one of his assignations. That someone turned out to be his preteen daughter, Sally.
"Sorry about that!" Jon Hamm joked to 14-year-old co-star Kiernan Shipka at a recent PaleyFest event in Los Angeles. The funny thing is, it wouldn't take much effort to make a supercut called "Sorry about that!" featuring scene after scene after scene of adults going rogue in Sally Draper's presence.
As former Tribune critic Maureen Ryan once put it: "You could almost sum up the AMC drama by calling it a prelude to Sally Draper's inevitable years of therapy."
That, or a full-blown counterculture-fueled rebellion. Let the sunshine in, Sally.
Originally from Chicago (her mother, Erin Brennan, was queen of the St. Patrick's Day parade in 1986), Shipka moved to LA when she landed the role on "Mad Men." She was just 6 1/2 at the time.
Fame at a young age can warp reality, but you don't sense that with Shipka, even as she's become increasingly interested in fashion. Serious designers provide her red carpet looks, and she wears their clothes with considerable more style and self-assurance than most seasoned actresses.
When we talked by phone last month, I said she reminded me a little of Tavi Gevinson, the preternaturally accomplished Oak Park high schooler and founder of the online magazine Rookie, who also has a keen eye for fashion.
"Tavi? Yeah, I know Tavi! I had brunch with her last week! We shopped a little bit too. She's fantastic. I did an interview with Rookie a long time ago. She was in LA, so we met up — it was Tavi, me and my friend Amandla Stenberg, who was Rue in "The Hunger Games.'"
The seventh and final season of "Mad Men" (the first half of which airs this year) begins Sunday. The following is an excerpt of the conversation with Shipka.
Q: Where are you in terms of wrapping things up on "Mad Men"?
A: We've done the first seven episodes, and we're in sort of a little bit of a hiatus right now, and then we go back in a couple of weeks to finish up the rest (which will air next year). I think we'll be done by June. It definitely feels like it's ending. I think it'll feel that way more once we get back, because it'll truly be the last of everything, and it's sad!
Q: What year are you in school?
A: I'm just finishing up my senior year.
Q: Wait, you're 14!
A: I do an independent study program, so it's little more concentrated. It's just a different work schedule, so I can get done with it faster. It's called Laurel Springs, and it's a full online curriculum that's K-12. It definitely caters to young actors.
Q: How have you been able to plow through your studies so fast?
A: I've never taken a summer break, so I could just get it all done.
Q: What about college? Will you go the Doogie Howser route?
A: I don't know if I'll ever be the Doogie Howser! Just going in there super young and people looking at me weird? I feel like that would be kind of strange. So I think I'll probably stick with online courses at first, and then when it's a little bit more normal to enter a (college) classroom, I'll look into normal college.
Q: You're originally from Chicago.

Nelson says Florida voter purge isn't the only challenge facing minority voters
Janelle Irwin
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
The Department of Homeland Security granted Florida access to a database that will provide information about potential non-citizens. It will likely lead to the resumption of the stateâs controversial voter purge. At a press event today, U.S. Senator Bill Nelson weighed in on what he thought of efforts to remove people from the voter rolls so close to an election.
âI have no problem with anyone who is not a legal citizen from not being able to vote because thatâs what weâre supposed to have. But at the same time, when it is done in a way to try to intimidate people, thatâs a different matter.â
Instead, Nelson is more concerned with Floridaâs new voter law often referred to as the voter suppression act. It reduces the number of early voting days and requires people to cast provisional ballots if theyâve moved and not updated their voter registration. Nelson said those stipulations more strongly affect minority and low-income voters.
âWhich is suppressing the vote of minorities by constricting the amount of early voting time and the elimination of Sunday voting before the Tuesday election. Historically what has happened in Florida is that minorities, particularly Hispanics and African-Americans, utilize the Sunday in order to vote in the early voting and when you eliminate that, youâre making it more difficult for those particular subsets of voters to vote.â
The law originally imposed restrictions on third party voter registration that led groups like the League of Women Voters to stop holding registration drives. That provision has since been ruled unconstitutional. The database Florida will likely use to resume removing ineligible voters from the rolls is called SAVE - Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements. It lists both legal immigrants and green-card holders who arenât eligible to vote. Supporters of the purge say it is a more accurate way of ensuring the election is fair.comments powered by Disqus

Washington, D.C. – More than one half of Americans use at least one prescription medication, and U.S. drug expenditures now exceed $320 billion a year.[1] With increasing challenges in the delivery of healthcare, coupled with the complexity of medication regimens, the demand for pharmacists who are BPS board certified is growing exponentially, according to the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS).
"Nearly 13,000 pharmacists are BPS board certified in the U.S. – an increase of 20% over last year and double the number over the past five years," said BPS Executive Director William M. Ellis, RPh, MS. "BPS board certification is recognized as the 'gold standard' for determining which pharmacists are qualified to contribute at advanced patient care levels."
BPS certification is a voluntary process by which a pharmacist's education, experience, knowledge and skills in a particular practice area are confirmed beyond what is required for licensure. BPS board certified pharmacists are uniquely trained and educated to manage patients with complex or special medication therapy needs.
Pharmacists can become BPS board certified in six specialty areas: ambulatory care pharmacy, nuclear pharmacy, nutrition support pharmacy, oncology pharmacy, psychiatric pharmacy and pharmacotherapy. Each specialty is overseen by a specialty council comprised of pharmacists board certified in that area. BPS currently is evaluating critical care pharmacy and pediatric pharmacy, and plans to double the number of specialties for which pharmacists can become BPS board certified by 2016.
"Depending on their specialty, these highly trained pharmacists assist in designing or modifying existing medication regimens; monitor for and prevent adverse medication reactions; customize medication regimens for patients taking multiple medications; and recommend the most effective treatments," Ellis said.
Increasingly employers, insurers, physicians and other healthcare professionals understand the expertise that BPS board certified pharmacists bring to patients and the entire healthcare team.
"BPS board certification raises the bar on the knowledge and skill set for those that are certified have and dramatically improves the potential for better patient outcomes," said Dr. Sheila A. Haas, RN, FAAN, professor at the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing at Loyola University Chicago.
"All of our Clinical Pharmacy Specialists – approximately 100 – are BPS board certified, which ensures that they have been thoroughly trained and tested," said Kaiser Permanente Colorado Executive Director of Pharmacy Operations and Therapeutics, Dennis K. Helling, PharmD, FCCP. "These pharmacists are experts in medication therapy. Employers should recognize and take advantage of the knowledge that BPS board certified specialists bring to the healthcare team."
About the Board of Pharmacy Specialties
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) was established in 1976 as an autonomous division of the American Pharmacists Association. BPS is internationally recognized as the premiere board certification organization for licensed pharmacists. Currently there are 12,889 BPS board certified pharmacists in the U.S. and Puerto Rico; and an additional 782 BPS board certified pharmacists in 32 countries worldwide.

Monday, September 26, 2011
Of all the punches thrown at Gov. Rick Perry during last week's Republican presidential debate in Florida, few landed harder than questions about Perry's support for a Texas bill allowing illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition.
Perry signed the bill, HB 1403, in 2001 with the support of all but four legislators, making Texas the first state to grant in-state tuition to young undocumented immigrants who have lived in the state for three years and are seeking permanent residency.
Perry's forceful defense of the legislation — he said skeptics of the bill don't "have a heart" — was the talk of conservative activists in Orlando this weekend for Presidency 5, the three-day Republican Party of Florida convention that hosted the debate.
The political damage became clear Saturday, when Perry finished a distant second to businessman Herman Cain in a presidential straw poll conducted at the gathering.
Immigration Questions Should Dog Perry from now on.
Immigration questions should dog every politician because Americans are getting sick and tired of them with out politician who give them every thing for free for their votes!
Ok you ass kissing La Raza politicians…start working for us Americans!
Correct, he will never get my vote.
not only that. he is a HUGE NAFTA supporter. beware!!!
Go to google.com, punch in "rick perry meets with bilderbergers". He and bammie are run by the same traitors.
PatriotRenegade…yeah bilderbergs always have at least two horses running in each presidential election. We need a real conservative for the American people not for the illegals.
Hopefully the republcian party won't nominate Perry or Mitt. I would like either Ron Paul, Herman Cain,or Michelle Bachmann to be nominated.
Wow. Did not know about NAFTA. But it doesn't matter because his immigration statement cost him my vote already.
When GOV. Perry Mentioned HE had "OK "ed THE STATE PAYING ILLEGALS tuishions at STATE UNIVERISITIES ,HIS COSIDERAN FOR EVEN "DOG CATCHER" is GONE.
When GOV. Perry Mentioned HE had "OK "ed THE STATE PAYING ILLEGALS tuishions at STATE UNIVERISITIES ,HIS COSIDERAN FOR EVEN "DOG CATCHER" is GONE.
If Perry gets the nomination I urge everyone to hold their nose and vote against "the most dangerous man in America", obammi!
That's how obummer got elected. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Perry is a very good looking man but that's where it stops. I would not vote for him and I am a Texan and proud of it. He has not done things that would be helpful to the other Texans.
Let's vote for Cain. He is a winner in my eyes.
I'd vote for almost anyone over Obama. He has done nothing good for this country. When he said in a speech prior to the election he'd change the Country, I never dreamed he meant he'd change it in the way he has. I never have nor will I vote for him.
Who will you vote for if Perry is the canadate? OBAMA. Not me I will not make the mistake of voting for someone (independant) like I did in 1992 and let someone in like Clinton. I think that is what the Democrates are trying to do for the 12 elections. Split the vote and get Obama in for another 4 years.
I agree with Ron Powell above in that they seem to be RINO's but if it bowls down to them vs Obama it's them for me not a third party canadite.
Right now Perry or Romney are not my favorites even if I am a Texan But…. dont forget the Supreme Court ruled that a State must educate an illegal from the cradle to graduation. If a child goes to school in any State they have the right to go to College or join the Military as long as THEY can pay for it as much as I dont like it
He sure screwed up saying we're supposed to care about illegals kids being educated. Frankly since the government didn't help any of my kids or anyone else's I know even though they had to work a couple jobs to get their education I resent that an illegal could get a 'free' one. It's no wonder that our kids have to work for one but not anyone not born in this country. Time for that to change.
WOW…. I knew about his stance on building a fence…and, the tuition bill…had already decided we sure didn't need his likes in our House…BUT..this NAFTA thing was not well covered nationwide…
WE DO NEED A WALL or FENCE and WE DO NEED CONTROL OF OUR BORDERS, ALONG WITH "who" is ALLOWED TO REMAIN… In some areas of Texas, that "wall" needs to be at least 3 stories high to stop the bullets from hitting US CITIZENS on our side of the line…in some areas, with the help of some Barrett's, just a line in the sand will do fine..one position, manned 24/7, with relief can cover 2 miles of border…some BIG IR lights would be nice for moonless nights, eh?…maybe some trip-wires or snake pits too…make it painful for anyone trying to sneak in!..
I really don't know if we have "seen" the right person to run for Pres even yet…they all seem tainted in some way to me… But, Obummer sure needs to go…far, far, away!
Montana, I, too, am 'still looking' This election is so vital to our existence & we must get it right! Might not get 'do overs" I realize the "Ideal" person doesn't exist & a TRUE Conservative can't pull enough moderate & Independent votes to win…& give the Dems another round. Like Lincoln, I've made a "pro & con" list sheet for the ones that 'might' buy us time & that CAN get ELECTED. And then, in Santa Claus fashion, I'll have my list & check it twice! Perry, like ALL the others has faltered on Immigration BIG time.. Immigration is NOT the only issue to look closely at. We must not develop tunnel vision nor cling so tightly to ideals that we cannot see the whole picture. And spending some extra time on our knees wouldn't hurt.
Some body needs to sic some very aggressive, large, really ugly dogs on perry. Just cause he looks so natty in RINO hide. if for no other reason. I Hope Ron Paul kicks his RINO hide clad butt back and forth across Texas several times come election day .
PS. If Ron Paul gets elected and he should he should pick Herman Cain or Newt "the Hoot" Gingrich as his running mate or else his son..
A Real Eye Opener WHY is the USA BANKRUPT?
Informative, and mind boggling!
You think the war in Iraq was costing us too much? Read this: We have been hammered with the propaganda that it was the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS. I hope the
following 11 reasons wakes you up at what politicians do for illegals.
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year
by state governments.
2. $22 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances to their countries of origin.
11. Another Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes
committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States ..
The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS. A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY.
Are We THAT Stupid? YES, FOR LETTING THOSE IN THE U.S. POLITICIANS GET AWAY WITH
Here is what Eisenhower did:
Yes it can be done as Ike and Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing did it in getting rid of illegals.
The politicians are all in on the illegal scam because they get political donations who hire illegals.
We need a president who is tough on illegals and someone running the INS like Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing.
If you want to see how it was handled in the past go to this site:
I posted this comment twice using one syntax it is still awating moderation, Changing it slightly it is posted. Interestiong, Nea?
and the rough guesstimate is that it would only cost $225 Billion to send them all home. wow! 15-25 million jobs and we would save $100 billion too? and we get our country back……what's wrong with that?
Gas Passer, I know right where the fed government can start reducing spending; round up a couple of hundred busses and fill them up with all the illegals prisoners all around the nation and ship them deep into Mexico.
Buses hell they walked here, Herd'em and head'em out!!
Yeah, but they keep coming back when they walk.
They keep coming back when you bus'em or fly'em at least we won't waste fuel walkin'em
Yeah it is ashamed that our elected politicians don't give a rats azz on how much of our money is wasted on illegals.
You never hear from a politicians how much illegals are costing us….but the want to reduce Social Security checks and do away with the military retirement system to keep giving everything free to illegals.
Looks like our politicians work for illegals!
Great comment, but why isn't this information being publicised every day?
There is only one acceptable answer people and that would be, "close all points of entry into this country for the next 25 years or more and deport all non US citizens, illegal aliens and their off-spring immediately" back to their country of origin via a parachute out the back end of a low flying C-131. Than make it a $100K dollar per day / per person to anyone who hires these people to do job of any sort for the first offense and on the second offense all company assets are ceased and owners are put in prison for life without possible parole. That's a good start.
To nvrpc: Your suggestions are mighty strong. GREAT! BRAVO! It's about damn time we get tough against those who are destroying America! And that includes the foolish VOTERS who keep electing the liberals!
Perry is politically out of the running for Pres.
Only the illegal aliens, and their friends and relatives will vote for him.
Armyof69, I still hope all the states make sure that they ID every voter. Proof checked against the registry at the the voting booth.
ARMYOF69: I pray you are right. We sure don't need a repeat of nominating another heir-apparent weenie like we did last time in John McCain.
Looks like he cooked his own goose!
For every illegal working there is a legal US citizen out of work.
We need "Operation Wetback" back, just like the '50's.
I must admit, Perry saying that people who opposed tuition preferences for illegal aliens, "have no heart", does make him sound like a typical Liberal Democrat, appealing to emotion, rather than logic.
Having said that, I would still rather have Perry in the White House than Obama. Other candidates have a better position on this issue than Perry, but defeating Obama should be "job one".
I would place him at a last resort, no one wants Hussein re elected.
Perry is on the bottom of my list of favorites. Herman Cain is on top with Michelle Bachmann second. Rick Santorum might be okay too. We need true conservatives in the president and vice president offices.
The immigration issue is one that the Dems don't want to discuss in public (only in LaRaza meetings, I guess) since doing so will light a powder keg under conservatives and independents. This is Perry's cardinal sin: having a heart, unfortunately, has no place in the law. I can't vote for this guy. much as his job record touts him.
as long as any candidate or president doesn't do the right thing and deport illegals and punish employers by revoking business licenses then he or she will find themselves out to pasture
Buck, Immigration is far from the only issue. Still, I live in a border state & less than a mile from a well traveled corridor. What I want to hear to the question, "what would you do about it?" is I WILL ENFORCE THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES & MAKE SURE ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES DO THE SAME….so help me God.
I would not vote for Hermon Cain. He is pro-abortion. I would not vote for R. Perry who is for amnesty for illegal immigrants.
I will tell you something. Fences DO NOT stop illegals from coming into our country. They make elaborate tunnels, come by boats… Where there's a will, there's a way and they find it. I live in one of the border states and it is not easy. We can not deport them. Obama does not want them deported. A fence would cost millions to build, and as Perry stated. You build a fence 20ft high, the illegals will build a 20ft high ladder. Texans are dealing with illegals, they don't want any there. Perry has even signed on with Gov Brewer and other states to sue the government to force them to take care of the borders. So Texas decides to offer in state tuition (does not effect any other states) to illegals to attend college. They have applied for citizenship, have been here at least 3 yrs. As long as Texas has to put up with illegals then they feel educating them will make them productive members of society and not a burden on Texas. You can't blame Perry, Texas is doing what it needs to do, until Obama is out of office.
ok.. lets build a fence around texas also.
When Perry signed the bill to give illegals the same benefits that texas residents (legal residents and citizens get) he basically tells the illegal immigrant community to come to Texas, we will care for you and your youngins'
I have contended for many years, we should build a "Great Wall" around Texas, and plant all illegals, ACLU, Greenpeace, LaRaza, Cair, Acorn and any other worthless group i9n side with no exit without a visa!
Skydiver…how much do you really know about what goes on in Texas or elsewhere. Men & women from Texas are bleeding & dying the same as military from other states. The electorial votes from a State as large as Texas can sway an election, do you want to discard them?
I understand your reasoning, however, these people have broken the law to get here and then they stand in line ahead of others who are trying to open the door legally, then they get free stuff! I don't get free tuition, my son and daughter don't get free tuition, they worked and paid their own way through college, if they couldn't afford the class or the books they waited until they could!
Now that's what sticks in my throat!
A tall-enough wall, properly patrolled, with controlled crossing points, WILL work. If you don't believe it, check out the success of Israel's wall, which has been most effective.
we should build a wall like was done in East Germany for these free loaders with land mines and attack dogs and armed guard towers!
EagarBeez, a lot of Gun power will help stop the illegals from coming across the border; an electrified fence would help; military bases built along the border would help; boots on the ground would; satellite pictures would; electronic sensors placed in popular border crossings would; the National guard would; deputizing American citizens; $25,000 fine for all businesses that hired illegals would; bussing all the illegals in prisons back would help; and Obama's alligators wouldn't hurt either.
Once established all of these things will be much cheaper than giving all our benefits to tens of millions of illegals…and our Citizens would be safer.
Actually Oduma took the alligator line from Larry the Cable Guy!
So what, let liberals abort themselves out of existance.
No one will not like this but Perry still has my vote and for good reason. There are two sides to every story now he is not perfect but look closer and I would like to help by inviting you to read
Kevin D. Williamson
Santorum's Ill-Advised Border War
He stepped into unknown territory to criticize Perry's legitimate immigration policies.
I am in Texas and there is nothing legitemate about his policies. That is MY tax money he is using.
Sorry you feel that way Byron I live in Texas to and there my tax dollars as well, no I don't like it but I still think there legitimate immigration and border polices and I will vote for Rick.
Did you read Kevin D. Williamson article, if so what did you think of it.
Slow Pokey…your name says it all!
Out Law truck driver all my life Lady Liberty, I earned it, never get in a hurry. Click on my name and see my web site, I' sure y'all like it, called the Trailer Park Show.
For those who watched the last debate, you probably remember Perry being prepared to respond to Bachmann's charge of his being influenced to mandate the HPV vaccine for Texas school girls because his former Chief-of-State/Staff (?) had gone to work as a lobbyist for Merck, the maker of the drug.
Perry had struggled defending that action at an earlier debate — but, this time he was ready with an apparent rock solid reason, explanation, excuse or whatever. Without blinking an eye he stated:
(quoting here from the San Antonio Express-News, Sept. 25, 20011)
"I got lobbied on this issue." Perry acknowledged, "I got lobbied by a 31-year-old young lady who had Stage 4 cervical cancer. I spent a lot of time with her. She came by my office and talked to me about this program."
This statement is probably true; but, it conveyed the impression that Perry was moved by the woman's story to sign the order. The News report continued, however, to point out that the impression was a false one. Perry had already signed the order three weeks before the lady came to see him.
The woman died some six months after that meeting with Perry; and, if some of his handlers decided to massage the details, use the plight of a deceased woman to deflect criticism, Gov. Perry needs to either get some new handlers or get out of the race.
Using a dead woman to gain some points —and this is the guy who says we don't have a heart? ___ please…
Yep, read it and it's still Male Bovine Feces. didn't serve my country for 22 years to have to select 1 for English, be told I have to speak Spanish to qualify for a job. There is no legitemate reason to allow an actual invasion of my country.
Your points are correct and it's to bad Perry does not defend himself that way and on other points as well. He could easily defend himself with the facts and show his tuff side. I have heard that he is not being himself in the public or the debates so as not to come across as unlikable. He is getting bad advice and allowing the press to give wrong or incomplete info about him and his positions. The truth of the matter is that the environmentalist would not let the fence be built because of the natural habitat and I have already heard the arguments. The fence will not work anyway. The best way to stop it all is stop with all the free public schools, medical, free food, free everything that is being allowed by the federal gov. And for all those that done like the instate tuition, I don't like it either but then what's the difference, they are in the public school system. The argument is that they live and pay taxes and don't have to be working toward their citizenship. It is a step to work with the Latino group and they have a large number of voters. If Texas is not careful it could go to the dems and many people do not understand that. At any rate, Perry is going to have to start setting the record straight and soon.
It is my understanding that under the Electoral College rules each state gets only so many votes. Texas will go Democrat if they (GOP) do not cater to the Latino vote because they WILL vote Obama for another four. The country will forever change from what we have known before. It is too late for the border states to not recognize the over run of Latinos bringing their socialism with them. Our lawmakers have looked the other way too long. If the Republicans cannot oust this left wing Socialism presently making policy without control or vote, it is the end of over 200 years of America. We are at risk of losing our sovereignty.
Bush and Perry know this, hence the apparent leniency toward Latinos.
My question is this: What good is a 4 year college education to a person who can't get a job under the e-verify system> If your illegal now, you will be illegal then. Your path to legal status will take you longer than your education.
Bull-crap!! Don't think for one minute that an illegal can't get a job in Mexifornia! With Sancutary Cities like San Francisco and others there is NO E-verify to stop illegals from getting jobs. Plus; with all of the FREE stuff they get, they can't get here fast enough! For those of you who don't know where Mexifornia is, it's that big state on the west end of America with the huge open arms to all Mexicans that want to get on Welfare and Social Security without having to do anything except ask for it. I live in San Francisco and I see it every day so don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.
Perry is certainly wrong on this one, but none of the GOP candidates is perfect, and, as has been said, "The perfect is the enemy of the good". Remember what William Buckley (National Review) once said, "I will support the most Conservative candidate WHO CAN WIN". ANY of the GOP contenders is preferable to Obama, period!
Heres the bottom line Canidates need hispanic votes to win and Perry will get the most hispanic votes out of any Republican canidate those are facts and in 10 years the Republicans will never win an election without the help of Mexicans so keep bringing up the issue and you will see 4 more years of Obama and Demorat rule
Lou, they can get Marco Rubio as a VP…he'll help with the votes!!!
Not if he is not a natural born citizen which by what I have heard he is not. He is a good guy but neither parent was a citizen. He could never make the ticket. Too bad.
Do some research – don't support any candidate for president of the United States who is being pushed by the Council on Foreign Relations or the Bilderbergs. The members of these two organizations are some of the most powerful globalists in the world.
Governor Perry has a point, but did not express it well. Every one of those kids would be a legal resident of Texas having lived there more than years and had graduated in the top tier of his or her high school class. These are young assets and we do not need to force them into criminal activity.

What does anyone think would happen if the Texas Citizens did not catch him on the Trans Texas Corridor and make him stop? Kind of odd this is not brought up in the debates. Why, because he apologized, said sorry, I made a mistake? I think this kind of thinking displayed is important. I can forgive him, But why not think this through first when immigration is already a problem.
heart my ass! he is nothing but a supporter of illegals and support for them at the tax payers expense! time illegals are made enemies of the state and the common foe of this country! there seems to be NO politation willing to kick them out to make jobs for americans! that makes them traitors to the american people!
Governor Perry is the only candidate in the current Republican contest who talks sensibly about the immigration factor. His speech may not be elegant but it is correct. Some posts preceding this one are the rantings of madmen thinking that millions of humans, children of Mexicans who entered the country illegally, can be denied food, medicine and a chance for self-improvement and can, furthermore, be exiled out of the country. Such foolish talk is dangerous and will surely compel the world community to take action that would bankrupt us.
In defense of Perry, Texas is in a unique situation as are all the border states. This was a state issue, and should not be applied nationally, as Perry stated.
Texas has a large number of illegal immigrants, who brought their very young children. So as a government you either try to start rounding up all the illegals and bus them out forcefully (like a Nazi state) or you at least take care of the children who know no other home, speak English, and could be future doctors, lawyers, scientist.
I think the correct action would be to tell the students that if you want in state tuition and allowed to stay (since the U.S. is the only home you have ever known), then your parents have to return to Mexico or wherever (since the parents can't use the argument this is the only home they have always known).
Mike, your response is one of the more saner resolutions. I notice in Texas's plan these immigrants mus PAY in-state tuition, so they are not on a free ride. They must be residents for 3 years which probably means they were successful in high school in educational requirements and not sports. Thirdly, They have to have applied for citizenship. Their residency means they have also contributed to the tax base in Texas.
I know this attitude will put you and me at odds with many Repubs.
I also believe fences are not the immediate solution. Have you seen videos on TV of the fences being scaled and tunnels being dug and the length of time required to build a fence. Perry's idea of boots on the ground will be required to stop illegals.
I am disappointed so many people have failed to realize the merits of Perry's proposal.
I also strongly believe that most illegals should be deported.
One question. How many illegals have taken advantage of the opportunity this legislation provides to them?
Who cares…illegal is illegal!!! Don't reward people that break the law…send them packing back to where they came from. No anchor baby protection and citizenship. If Texas has that much money to spend on illegals…better to give a helping hand to poor American citizens that could use a break.
good point
Sorry, they don't speak English. Was a Prof at a Community College that was built specifically to serve this population. Quit after the second year because I was fed up with having to teach MIDDLE SCHOOL history in what was supposed to be a college level class. Year after I left the State put this institution on probation because all they were teaching was remedial classes, nothing above a 9th grade level.
Before Perry thinks of leading the country on illegality, he better lead himself first. He'll need a clear head for that job!
He is not the person I would want for President. We have as a nation given away trillions of hard working Americans monies over the past decades to all sorts of foreigners. I have had enough of this crap.
Every American citizen is a slave to all our governments debt…this is why other countries loan us money…our dollar is backed by all its working citizens….wake up American and smell the stench; aren't you tire of being used with no say, I am.
I am a Texan and I vote for Rick Perry. What some might have missed is the illegals that get the tuition have probably applied for citizenship. I think that educating them might get them off of the welfare, medicade rolls. Do not misunderstand me, I do not think illegals should have an open door to this country. I do however that the same policy should be extended to students that are struggling with working and getting a college education. I am not talking about Affirmative Action….since we can see a sample of that.
They can't apply for citizenship. You have to be a LEGAL resident to do that.
All illegal aliens need to leave the USA, go back home and wait in line and apply to enter this country of OURS. On the other hand I strongly recommend they go to Afghanistan or Iran, or Libya, I will help with the fare.
We are truly at a crossroads…Dangerous. The North American Union is here. From Nafta (with Clinton)to SPP (with Bush Jr.) to the Trans Texas Corridor (with Perry) and the OPEN borders (with all in Washington).
Globalization is what we face. A fight? I have no idea how we could change it now. Too many continue to sleep and believe that this is the normal from politicians and they always work things out. No interest in losing our sovereignty, freedoms/liberties.
Speaking of down dumbing Americans is correct. Destroying our nation, is correct. Restricting our religion is correct. Killing our jobs is correct. Starving Americans is correct. Deciding who will live and who will die, is correct.
They have us chained with few options to act against this socialist agenda. Not just one man in the oval office accomplishes this. We have most congressmen in on this plan, both parties. Allowing all of his illegal actions to continue tells us their story.
The Media has made him the Republican front runner, not the people!
The media will solect the canidate that Odumbo can beat. PERRY has the most baggage that the Democrats can use againts him.
Even if he was to win he is a Democrat in Republican clothes. He talks and thinks like a Democrat because he was raised and taught that way most of his life. It is impossible for him to change.
He will do or say anything to get elected. Just like all Democrats do.

Encouragingly, as the line-up might be for the presidential entries, the race to the White House is gaining speed. More drop-outs are expected? The American people will insist on a formula for jobs, a growing economy and as a third but combustible issue–illegal and legal immigration enforcement. Whether it's Rick Perry, Mitt Romney or any other of the contenders, they need to start concerning themselves with the American people, not pandering to foreign nationals. In the majority of Constitutional Conservatives minds is Rep. Smith's mandated E-Verify bill H.R. 2885, known as the "Legal Workforce Act." which could make a positive difference in the number of Americans seeking work. As always it's already got its share of pessimists, leftists and a whole bunch of open border activists, who seem to prefer to see illegal aliens being hired, instead of lawful Americans. It's further being demonized by the Liberal presses, who have the main captive audience, rather the more informative blogs and pro-sovereignty websites on the Internet. With the Left wing of the press, the facts never see the light of day, just details out of context or plain and simple lies. By Joining THE TEA PARTY, we can alter America's course and return to the founding US Constitution and laws, destabilized by both political parties. Returning rights to the American People and stop the genuflecting to the Special interests.
E-Verify will join the highly controversial "Secure Communities", The Halt Act (Hinder the Administration's Legalization Temptation Act), The Save Act (The Secure America with Verification and Enforcement Act) and the 287 G police laws that are as necessary as official deterrents, which can eliminate over a period of time decrease the incessant invasion by economic illegal immigrants that trespass into our lands. Any cost that business owners can expect, will largely depend on how sizable their operations are. E-Verify, the federal electronic program checks an employee's legal work status and is a free program available to employers and will be required if "Legal Workforce Act." for new hires under the sanctions law. You can read more about this law, at the (USCIS) U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services website. By being fully informed, you learn that E-Verify is being improved dramatically, not what the pro-illegal immigration want you to think? A New E-Verify development includes a driver's license check ability.
Mississippi is the first state to make its driver's license data available to E-Verify, in association, in concert with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. Call your Senator or Congressman-Women at 202-224-3121 and insist on them voting for the "Legal Workforce Act."
Getting illegal immigration under control will also depend on the American people's partnership. Seeing any suspicious activity in your workplace, you can call Department of Homeland Security (DHS)'s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division at 1-866-DHS-2ICE (866-347-2423). Having a suspicion of your employer or possible illegal aliens working elsewhere, is all that's needed? They realize that you are not an expert on these situations and just need a phone call. There is never enough room to describe what TRUE information can be located in the general press, as many are inhibited by the Special interest groups to fully explain. However–much more in-depth information can be absorbed at non-profit websites, including Judicial Watch, NumbersUSA and nationwide reports at American Patrol.
Where are some of the 8.5 million illegal aliens working, that you might ask? In manufacturing industries as among those non-farming companies currently employing some of the 7 to 8.5 million illegal aliens in our work force. This is a great place to start as a Whistle-Blower, to unveil this illegal market, where Americans could be immediately placed. Assuming that President Obama is and his underlings are going to follow the law, and then the current stream of sweeping ICE raids will continue. If not, you can contact your Congress people and explain your suspicions to them. A website called "WEHIREALIENS" a project of the Fire Coalition can be located on the Internet by typing it into Google. You can leave any suspicious activities and add it to their growing data base of allegedly businesses, which are not following immigration laws.
Then once the border is fully sealed as according to the "2006 Secure Fence Act"; a barrier of two separate fences, stretching from Brownsville, Texas to San Diego, California, with fast track US Border Patrol roads in between. Two fences instead of partially completed single barrier we have now, will be capable of halting the thousands that dodge past the border, bringing even more poverty and desperate people into frontier states. Then combined with the appearance of 4000 National Guardsman who are fully armed and ready for confrontation throughout this dangerous region. After all—isn't that what the National Guards are for, to protect Americans from Domestic and foreign enemies?
It is time to remove the estimated 20 to 30 million illegal alien invaders within our borders. IT IS TIME TO CUT OUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION COSTS, INCLUDING THE $113 Billion dollars taken by the IRS and states to supplement these invaders income. It is time to amend the instant-baby-citizenship law (14th Amendment) , as it's the most expenses burden for taxpayers. Just the TEA PARTY "selected" will enforce the 1986 Immigration enforcement laws and more, together with stopping any further Amnesties of any kind.
MY EARLIER BLOGS: http://brittanicus-enoughisenough.blogspot.com
I too have to agree with the majority of the American public when it comes to REWARDING ILLEGAL ALIENS for breaking the laws. If I were to go to school in Texas, I would have to pay out of state fees, while a ILLEGAL ALIEN ends up paying in-state fees! TOTALLY WRONG!!!!
It should be obvious by now that there is only one candidate who is not a globalist stooge – Ron Paul, the candidate consistently ignored, underplayed and derided by the establishment and its corporate media.
Why do I always get moderated on here?
Is it beacause I back up my political thoughts and my Constitutional beliefs with news stories, that journalists have written that clearly describe my comments?
I thought this website represented Patriotism and stood for our Constitutional right to, "Freedom of Speech"?
I don't know what all the fuss is about. I fully agree with Perry and the Obungler admin. Border fences are useless and far too expensive. However, if we just fly along the border and drop a multi-cluster carpet of land mines from San Diego to East Texas, that would eventually take care of any illegal alien problems we have on the southern borders, and at a very reasonable and acceptable cost to taxpayers. Might even already have the surplus munitions available in a military warehouse somewhere. To be polite and fair we might post signs every 50 yards, and warn everyone in ALL the "politically correct languages" necessary. Word would get around…eventually. We wouldn't need costly fences, construction labor, national guard, or expensive electronic monitors and it could be in effect immediately. We could cut back on dangers to our Border Patrol officers and trim the stations to minimal staff. Only need a few personnel to go out to where the loud bangs are heard to toss some dirt and keep the flies down.
Perry has a poor track record when it comes to illegals. Whenever a politician puts criminals who have broken into this country ahead of citizens it tells you about their character or lack thereof. Pery and Romney are RINOs as far as 'm concerned and we should work to eliminate them from being considered as nominees. Illegal immigrants are one of the biggest problems in this country and we need someone who has the guts to address it and return all the illegals and send a bill to their countries of origin for the cost of deportation or lose any aid we give those countries as well as trade.
am a native Texan and I would love to correct the comments about Rick Perry being pro-illegals. Nothing could be farther than the truth. Perry has petitioned the national government to close the border, but they refuse to do so. And Perry is not giving free tuition to illegal college students. The instate college tuition is high in Texas and those students who receive it will have college loans to pay back. Romney tried to portray the situation as otherwise and evidently he succeeded with those who are not aware of the fact that Perry simply has to deal with the situation he is faced with in Texas. Our state has been flooded with illegals and Mexican students now outnumber Anglos in the schools in my hometown of Houston. The students mentioned in the debate live in Texas, of course, but they are required to have attended Texas schools for at least three years, made the grades to attend college and then will have to pay tuition. I do not even know all of the requirements for them. Obviously some of those candidates on the podium saw a chance to hurt Perry.
Now about the fance. Those of you who co not live in border states may not be aware of the fact that Mexican drug dealers are already digging under the border and entering the states. After we spend millions to build a border fence across 1200 miles of Texas plus an extra 800 miles needed, what is stop the Mexicans from digging under that fence? And
Texans who own land at the border have heavily complained that the fence would cut them off from large portions of their land, cut off cattle ranching areas, cut them off fr9m the Rio Grande, etc. There is a major national park along that border. In short, Texans that would l9se usage of their own property have fought the fence like everything. Perry has to consider these things.
Please be aware of the fact that Perry has to deal with the situation in Texas as it is, not as he wishes it were. Leaving students uneducated will not serve our businesses well. Simply give some thought to this and not fall for debate tactics that are far offbase and self-serving.
Now about Romney. I have been saying all along that I would vote for whomever gets the Republican nomination because of the poor prexy we now have; but I have watched the debates and I don't believe I can force myself to vote for Romney. He is as cocky and as self-conceited as Obama. If you don't believe this, watch him in action. His constant snotty remarks of "Nice try" when it wasn't even his time to speak just grated my nerves. He is as "sure of himself" as Obama. Humility? He d0esn't know the meaning of the word. I hope he is not the Republican candidate.
What does it say about someone who puts the interests of FOREIGN NATIONALS HERE ILLEGALLY ahead of our own interests?
Perry's a RINO "Obama-lite" that the NWO is trying to use to hedge their bets in case Obama loses.

"Dr. Stanton Samenow received his B.A. (cum laude) from Yale University in 1963 and his Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Michigan in 1968...In 1978, Dr. Samenow entered the private practice of clinical psychology in Alexandria, Virginia. His specialty has continued to be the evaluation and treatment of juvenile and adult offenders. Dr. Samenow has delivered lectures, training seminars, and workshops in 48 states, Canada, and England, to a variety of professional groups including mental health, law enforcement, corrections, education, social services, and the judiciary. He has served as a consultant and expert witness for a variety of courts and agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Federal Bureau of Prisons, and the U.S. Office of Probation. In 1980, he was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the Law Enforcement Task Force and in 1982 to the President's Task Force on Victims of Crime. In 1987, President Reagan appointed him as a Conferee to the White House Conference on a Drug-Free America. Dr. Samenow has authored numerous articles for professional publications and appeared frequently on national radio and television broadcasts, including 60 Minutes, The Phil Donahue Show, Good Morning America, The CBS Morning News, the Today Show and The Larry King Show.
Many states have adopted treatment programs based on Dr. Samenow's research, largely in state correctional facilities. In his videos, it becomes apparent that he likes to let his patient talk while he mentally logs any cognitive distortions. He then educates the patient on those cognitive distortions that were heavily used. In theory, a patient will use less and less cognitive distortions, eventually reaching a point where covert sensitization can be employed to abruptly halt criminal thinking patterns.
The Criminal Personality, Volumes I, II & III was featured in the penultimate episode of HBO's series The Sopranos and prompts Dr. Jennifer Melfi, a fictional therapist in the show, to re-evaluate whether the therapy she gives mafia boss Tony Soprano is actually beneficial to his criminal behavior.

Tom Cleverley believes he can fill the void left by Paul Scholes at Old Trafford.
The Manchester United midfielder announced his retirement at the end of the season, adding a final Barclays Premier League title to his trophy collection before calling time on a glittering career with the Red Devils.
Cleverley, who has enjoyed successful loan spells away from the Red Devils and was noticably impressive at Wigan last season, is confident he could do a job for Sir Alex Ferguson's side despite a handful of internationals being linked with summer move.
"Paul Scholes' boots are very big ones to fill, he's been a winner and a great player. Any team is going to miss a player of that ability," said the 21-year-old.
"But as always somebody has to step up."
Samir Nasri, Wesley Sneijder and Luka Modric are just three players thought to be on the Manchester United radar, but Cleverley believes he could save the club some cash by stepping up.
"I hope I can put my case forward and save the club some money. Wigan have helped me and I feel I am ready to tackle the job at United."

This is Booth! He's named after Booth on Bones.
He's now about 4 months old. He was dumped at my camp when he was about 5 weeks old (that's just barely after they're first able to eating solid food, he should have been left with his mom until at least 8 weeks) and left to fend for himself for atleast a day before I found him. He didn't even weigh a pound when I found him, he was literally skin and bone.
But anyway, so I and a few friends found him and I kept him in the tack room at camp all summer so he's super socialized to people and he LOVES horses! Haha!
Anyway, he's now a muscular 5.5 pounds, so basically HUGE for his age. But that's ok with me because I love bigger cats.
Today he got to have some outdoor time so I decided to take pictures! I just couldn't resist!
"Should I chase the dog?" (he wasn't socialized to dogs when he was really little so now whenever he sees my neighbor's dog, he kinda goes beserk. He thinks he's a bunch bigger than he really is)
"Yes I should!" The poor dog is like "Oh dear. Not again!"
Wilderness kitteh!
Ninja kitten!
The face of danger...
He's a real character. I seem to be continually surrounded by interesting animal personalities. Haha!

Simple question. I tried Google but I don't know what search keywords to use.
I have two points on a 2d plane. Point 1 = x1 and y1, and Point 2 = x2 and y2.
I'd like to draw a circle around Point 1, and the radius of the circle should be so that it intersects exactly with Point 2.
What is the equation to determine the required radius?

Federal investigators are probing whether a number of Wall Street banks cheated clients in the years following the financial crisis by deliberately mis pricing a type of mortgage bond that was central to the economic turmoil.
The usual suspects under scrutiny: Barclays, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., J.P. Morgan Chase , Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland Group and UBS AG. They held billions of dollars worth of such securities.
The value of many of those securities plunged after the crisis.
The probe is being conducted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or Sigtarp.
Sigtarp, a watchdog set up in 2008 to root out fraud related to the crisis bailout, is involved because the banks under scrutiny sold residential mortgage-backed securities to entities partly funded by $475 billion of bailout money.
