(B, C, LLL, VV, A, DD, M) Light moral worldview of taking care of family with a few Christian elements including thanks to Jesus, a call to prayer & a man asks his brother why he wasn't in church; 64 obscenities & 12 profanities including one from a girl who copies an adult; extensive action violence including shooting, explosions, chase scenes, hand-to-hand combat, kicking, & falls; no sex; no nudity; alcohol use; smoking & brief marijuana smoking which is rebuked; and, kidnapping & corruption in the FBI.
RUSH HOUR mixes fast hands with a fast mouth and includes some Christian content in an otherwise rough action movie that raises the bar for the number of obscenities in a PG-13 rated movie. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker pair up as polar-opposite policemen searching for a kidnapped daughter of a friend.
A seemingly odd mix of contradictions, RUSH HOUR nevertheless provides adequate entertainment. It mixes fast hands with a fast mouth, and includes some Christian content in an otherwise rough movie which raises the bar for the number of obscenities in a PG-13 rated movie. Still thrilling to watch, but showing his age, Jackie Chan pairs up with Chris Tucker in a LETHAL WEAPON-style thriller mixing action, comedy and some subtle race issues.
Chan plays Detective Inspector Lee, the pride of the Royal Hong Kong Police. A tough, dedicated cop, he is also a martial arts genius. He is friends with the Chinese Consul Han (Tzi Ma) and teaches martial arts to the Consul's 11-year-old daughter Soo Yung (Julia Hsu). Lee is both her bodyguard and best friend.
The Consul moves to America when Hong Kong is taken over by the Chinese government. There, a criminal mastermind named Juantao, played by Tom Wilkinson, kidnaps little Soo Yung. Pretending to be the Consul's friend, Juantao killed Lee's partner. The FBI decides to investigate the kidnapping, but Han invites Lee to come over to America to participate. Frustrated by Lee's presence, the FBI asks LAPD to assign a man to baby-sit Lee and keep him away from the investigation. Therefore, the LAPD assign Officer Carter (Chris Tucker) to the case. Carter is nothing but trouble to the force, and they feel this special assignment will get him out of their hair, at least for a moment.
When Lee meets Carter, they mix like oil and water. Not only can they not understand each other, but Lee keeps escaping so that he can involve himself in the investigation again. Soon, the pair learn to get along. Their combined talents provide a formidable match for Juantao.
Depending on your tastes, Chris Tucker may be one of the funniest men in movies today, or the most irritating. Taking a lot of cues from an early foul-mouthed Eddie Murphy, Tucker talks fast and laces his humor with many obscenities. Surprisingly, the Atlanta-based comedian also includes a few nods to Christianity, perhaps exposing a Christian background. For example, he asks his brother why he wasn't in church on Sunday. On another occasion, when facing certain physical punishment by some thugs, he says, "Why don't we pray about this?" Finally, at a point of victory, he gives thanks to Jesus. These Christian elements are brief, however, and hardly make up for the dirty language, which may be the highest count yet for a PG-13 movie.
RUSH HOUR is like many Jackie Chan movies in that the action is based on moral causes, and not on vengeance. For instance, Chan's main goal is to preserve the Consul's family. RUSH HOUR also has some of Chan's trademark comical fight scenes. He performs many expected fast hand chops and leg kicks but no death-defying leaps or jaw-dropping stunts. Chan is aging, in fact he is over 40, and so one wonders how long he can sustain his physical prowess.
RUSH HOUR seems to be a summer movie left over. While not special effects laden, it does have plenty of action and comedy. Since it does resemble LETHAL WEAPON, mixing two heroes of different races and sometimes playing off their differences, it seems reasonable the filmmakers would want to hold off on releasing this movie. Though perhaps not as strong as LETHAL WEAPON, RUSH HOUR positions itself to suggest future sequels. As Chan ages further, it may be a wise career move to let someone else help shoulder the load, but Tucker seems to invest his talent into annoying characters. RUSH HOUR is no classic, nor a big money item, but mainly seems to be a stepping stone for two actors in transition.

In his letter, Robinson noted the ABA "strongly support[s] the proposed Act and believe[s] its enactment will be an important step toward achieving consistency and improving fairness in the federal criminal justice system and will serve the cause of achieving justice in countless individual cases."
Robinson explained that in the U.S. criminal system, the government often has control over the defense's ability to obtain the evidence it needs to try its case; specifically, the government is required to assess whether evidence is exculpatory (evidence that supports a defendant's innocence) and to disclose that information to the defense.
"This disclosure of exculpatory information by the prosecution is vital to notions of due process as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment and effective assistance of counsel as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment," he continued.
In Brady v. Maryland (1963); Giglio v. United States (1972); and the United States v. Agurs (1976); the Supreme Court has clearly held that suppression of exculpatory evidence and impeachment evidence by the prosecution violates due process.
Robinson wrote that the ABA has been concerned since Brady and its progeny with articulation of a rule or standard that will guide prosecutors in their responsibilities to disclose evidence to the defense. In August 2011, the ABA House of Delegates adopted policy supporting legislation to implement a standard for discovery obligations of prosecutors under Brady.
He further explained that there are wildly different policies in local U.S. attorney offices and occasionally within the same office. "There is no reason why the DOJ should have 96 different policies rather than one uniform policy," Robinson wrote.
Robinson noted that the absence of a clear definition of what constitutes Brady material has resulted in confusing and differing disclosure practices. "Even rare violations of Brady are intolerable. The stakes in criminal cases are simply too high to sanction even one isolated occurrence of Brady violation," he warned.
"A clearly defined and codified disclosure standard would help eliminate the pitfalls of the current system where there is a multiplicity of disparate interpretations of the Brady obligation by both state and federal prosecutors," he added.
President Robinson's letter to Sen. Murkowski is available here.
With nearly 400,000 members, the American Bar Association is the largest voluntary professional membership organization in the world. As the national voice of the legal profession, the ABA works to improve the administration of justice, promotes programs that assist lawyers and judges in their work, accredits law schools, provides continuing legal education, and works to build public understanding around the world of the importance of the rule of law.

This large flycatcher gives a lively, whistled call that sounds like: "Quick, three beers!" It has the longest migration of any North American flycatcher; birds nesting in Alaska may winter as far south as Bolivia.
The Olive-sided Flycatcher responds favorably to managed logging and fires that leave sufficient snags and residual trees to provide foraging and singing perches. This species feeds almost entirely on flying insects, especially bees, wasps, and ants.
Breeding Bird Survey data show serious, ongoing declines in Olive-sided Flycatcher populations (up to 72% from 1966-2002). These declines may be due to fire suppression, pesticides, loss of forest to insects and acid rain, and, perhaps most significantly, habitat loss on their primary wintering grounds, where 85% of the forests have been altered.

Pan de Muerto
"The Mexican . . . is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it, sleeps with it, celebrates it; it is one of his favorite toys and his most steadfast love." –Octavio Paz
The dead need their daily bread too. It's November 1st and like many Mexican households I am remembering and celebrating my dearly departed. As it is believed that today and tomorrow are the easiest days for mis muertos queridos to visit and take pleasure in earthly delights, I have lit candles and set out fragrant Marigolds to guide their way, baked delicious Pan de Muerto to satisfy their stomachs and set out a glass of water to quench their thirst.
I hope all of the saints and all of the souls enjoy this Pan de Muerto. (I baked few extra loaves to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea and plan on slicing a loaf or two for French Toast.)
Pan de Muerto is a sweet egg bread (think a crumbly brioche) that can be flavored with fragrant anise,orange zest and cinnamon and is decorated with bone shaped pieces of dough and sprinkled with sparkling sugar.
4 c. flour (3 3/4 c. flour +1/4 c. flour)
3/4 c. sugar + 1 Tbs. Sugar
1/2 c. unsalted butter'1/2 Tbs. yeast
3/4 c. milk
3 large eggs
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
zest of one orange (optional)
1/2 tsp. anise seed (optional)
plus 1 egg for a wash, and extra sugar for dusting
In a large bowl combine milk, yeast, orange zest, 1/4 c. flour and 1 Tbs. sugar. Let stand for 30 minutes, then add the three gently beaten eggs.
In a separate bowl combine 3 3/4 c. flour, 3/4 c. sugar, salt, cinnamon and anise. Add this flour mixture to the wet mixture, kneading with you hands (at this point the dough will feel very sticky, kned until it is only slightly sticky. You may add an extra teaspoon of flour at a time if needed.)
Allow the dough to rest for 10 minutes. Add the butter to the dough working it until fully incorporated. Shape into a ball, grease and lightly flour. Place in bowl and cover with a damp towl to rise for 2 hours.
Separate doug into 6 parts. Shape 5 into balls and place on a greased baking sheet. Decorate the tops of the rolls with the remaining dough by rolling the dough into coils and strips that look like bones.
Allow the bread to rise for an additional hour in a warm place. brush tops of bread with egg white and dust with sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.- Senior Kyle Urso (Lombard, Ill.), of the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team, was selected to the America East All-Conference First Team, while freshman Brad Hilton (Merrimack, N.H.) was named to the All-Rookie Team.
|Brad Hilton
Hilton, who has seen action in all 17 games this season, made an immediate impact for the Wildcats when he recorded his first collegiate point with a game-winning assist in the season-opener versus Adelphi (Aug. 29). The freshman, who has cracked the starting lineup nine times, also tallied an assist when he connected with fellow freshman Sean Coleman (Stratham, N.H.) for the game-winner against UMass (Sept. 20).
Urso, Hilton and the rest of the Wildcats, who are seeded sixth in the America East tournament, will travel to third-seeded Binghamton on Saturday, Nov. 8. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Pacific Northwest targeting Boeing's Wichita supply chain
The Boeing Co. earlier this month announced plans to close its Wichita defense site in 2013 and move at least some of that work to the Puget Sound area — a move that has some in the Pacific Northwest targeting the company's local supply base.
Economic development officials in Clark County, Wash., are working with their counterparts in neighboring Oregon to strengthen Boeing's regional supply chain as the aerospace giant continues to ramp up its operations there.
And according to a report from The Columbian newspaper, Wichita is in their crosshairs.
Lisa Nisenfeld, president and CEO of the Vancouver, Wash.-based Columbia River Economic Development Council, says part of the regional expansion plan includes recruiting Wichita suppliers and soon-to-be former Boeing employees to the area.
Others involved in the recruitment effort are the city of Gresham, Ore. — already home to a Boeing parts facility — economic development officials in Cowlitz County, Wash., and a private business promotional firm called Greater Portland Inc.
Gabe Schlickau, president of the Wichita Manufacturing Association, told the Wichita Business Journal earlier this month that most of the local suppliers he has talked with felt that they could keep their work contracts with Boeing even after the company leaves town.
As long as there are aircraft suppliers in Wichita, the city will have a close relationship with Boeing, and Boeing is on record saying it plans to increase the amount of money it spends with Kansas suppliers.
But local economic development officials and the heads of local aviation companies have said for years that other cities and states are constantly trying to woo away pieces of Wichita's aviation cluster.
The efforts of the group in the Pacific Northwest may signal that those potential suitors now smell blood in the water.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf has launched the first shipment of about 50,000 tons of iron ore by China Union, one of the largest investments in post-conflict Liberia, from its newly constructed pier at the Freeport of Monrovia.
In 2009, China Union, a subsidiary of WASCO CAD (Hong Kong), signed a 25-year Mineral Development Agreement (MDA) with the Government of Liberia and committed to invest US$2.6 billion to renovate and revitalize the former Bong Mining Company. With the completion of Phase One of their operations in July 2013, full-scale mining began with the setting up of camps, hydraulic and conveyor belt machines, and completion of repairs on the railroad between Bong Mines and Monrovia.
According to an Executive Mansion release, at a ceremony Wednesday at the Freeport of Monrovia, President Sirleaf, in a joyous mood, termed the event as a fulfilled promise to the people of Liberia, with a renewed commitment that proceeds from the shipment would strictly be used for the betterment of the Liberian people.
The Liberian leader told the gathering that what is taking place was the result of collective efforts, and all should be proud of the achievement as it was yet another intervention by her administration in reviving a broken economy that she inherited.
China Union projects to export 500,000 metric tons of iron ore by the end of December 2014, of approximately 50,000 tons per month.
On the welfare of the Liberian workforce employed by China Union, President Sirleaf said the government has remained engaged with the company regarding the welfare of local employees in keeping with Liberian labor law. "While we engage China Union to improve conditions, we are equally calling on Liberians to cooperate with us as the process is gradual," she told cheering local employees at the shipment pier.
China Union plans to double its workforce from 232 to 459 local employees, and with its first export and increased employment, the company is poised to economically revitalize the former Bong Mines area and provide its people a sustainable livelihood.
President Sirleaf praised the management of China Union for being focused to its operation despite the difficulties that characterized taking control of the concession area, including the removal of squatters and rehabilitation of port facilities.
The new Chinese Ambassador to Liberia, His Excellency Zhang Yue, also gracing the occasion, said the first shipment was a new chapter in Liberia-China relations, describing it as a vision come true for President Sirleaf and China Union.
Ambassador Yue paid special tribute to two local female employees - Kabeh Jallah and Catharine Teah - who operate heavy-duty machines at the mine and shipment sites in Bong Mines and Monrovia, respectively, and have demonstrated a high level of courage and professionalism in their operation. He pledged his government's cooperation in making every employee realize their potential, irrespective of gender.
Earlier, the Chairman of China Union Investment Liberia Limited, Xiong Xinhai, said the first shipment of ore by his company marks the official start of iron ore mining operations on the Bong Range. He pledged his company's fullest cooperation with the Liberian government in realizing its benefit from the concession agreement while living up to its corporate social responsibility.
"In demonstration of this, Madam President, China Union has taken over and revived the Bong Mines Hospital by providing the hospital new medical equipment, and has employed over 300 Liberians, which is expected to increase over the coming years," Mr. Xiong disclosed.
Skills training programs in various technical areas have also formed part of China Union's transition from rehabilitation to mining and shipping, Mr. Xiong said, and this has proven to be hugely beneficial to both Liberia and China Union.
Finance Minister Amara Konneh said that the shipment of 50,000 metric tons of ore, although still in low quantity, will bring huge economic benefit to Liberia in its revenue generation.
He recounted the consequences created by the closure of the first mining operations due to war, which included loss of jobs, income and revenue. With the resumption of mining operations, he said, jobs will be re-created, coupled with revenue generation that will then lead to supporting those facilities that served the people in the concession area, including hospital, clinics, schools and feeder roads.
Lands, Mines & Energy Minister Patrick Sendolo praised China Union for working within its time schedule despite the challenges. He particular thanked the company for revamping the Bong Mines Pier where the ore is being shipped. The pier will now help government in its energy restoration program, he pointed out, as the newly constructed pier will also be used to bring in heavy fuel oil for the plants currently under construction by the Government and its partners.
The launching ceremony was witnessed by the Legislative Caucuses of Bong and Margibi Counties, including Senator Oscar Cooper and Representative Corpu Barclay; other government officials, including Madam Ciata Bishop, the new head of the National Bureau of Concessions, and the Managing Director of the National Port Authority, Madam Matilda Parker; and other guests.

Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO provided information on Sections 651 and 658 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and its effects on nonelderly persons with disabilities, focusing on the: (1) extent to which the occupancy policies of eligible projects restrict occupancy to the elderly and the portion of units in eligible projects actually occupied by nonelderly persons with disabilities; and (2) use of Section 8 certificates and vouchers to assist nonelderly persons with disabilities affected by the act.
GAO noted that: (1) the majority of housing projects designed for the elderly have not used the 1992 act to restrict the occupancy of nonelderly persons with disabilities; (2) almost three-quarters of the officials for the projects designed for the elderly reported that they had adopted their current policies before 1993, when the law went into effect; (3) a similar number of officials reported that their projects' occupancy composition has remained about the same over the last 5 years; (4) about 42 percent allow the elderly and persons with disabilities to apply for all units, while about 24 percent reserve some units for nonelderly persons with disabilities; (5) elderly tenants currently occupy about 90 percent of the available units, while nonelderly persons with disabilities occupy 8 percent; (6) advocates for the elderly believe that GAO's findings indicate that few projects have used the act to restrict the occupancy of persons with disabilities; (7) disability rights advocates believe that many projects were discriminating against persons with disabilities prior to the 1992 act and that the act merely legitimized those practices; (8) local housing authorities have made limited use of the funds for Section 8 certificates and vouchers that the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can award to assist nonelderly persons with disabilities who are not currently receiving housing assistance because owners restricted occupancy, as the 1992 act allows; (9) of the $45 million appropriated for this purpose in fiscal years 1997 and 1998, only $8.4 million had been awarded to 13 housing authorities as of September 30, 1998; (10) HUD officials told GAO that these funds were not in greater demand for several possible reasons; (11) the application process for these funds is more complicated than the process for funds in the mainstream housing opportunities program, which is another mechanism available for housing authorities to apply for certificates and vouchers for persons with disabilities; (12) GAO's survey found that very few owners of private projects were working with staff from their local housing authority to assist persons with disabilities affected by Sections 651 and 658; (13) housing authorities prefer to apply for funds from the mainstream program for persons with disabilities; (14) in September 1998, HUD transferred $78.3 million of unobligated Section 8 funds for nonelderly persons with disabilities, of which $36.6 million was from the $45 million set-aside, into the mainstream program; and (15) these transferred funds were fully obligated by the end of fiscal year 1998, according to HUD.

DIMARZIO-VOTERS Feb-13-2008 (840 words) With photos. xxxn
Not all political issues of equal value, says Bishop DiMarzio
Catholic News Service
BROOKLYN, N.Y. (CNS) -- A "hierarchy of values" exists, which means not all political issues are of equal value, said Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn.
"Our faith must inform our political decisions," he said, and Catholic voters are obliged to distinguish "between moral evil," such as abortion, "and matters of prudential judgment," such as tuition tax credits.
Bishop DiMarzio made the comments in an address Feb. 7 to a crowd of 500 at the Cathedral Club of Brooklyn's annual dinner. His remarks drew on the U.S. bishops' 2007 document, "Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship: A Call to Political Responsibility."
When he was chairman of the bishops' domestic policy committee, Bishop DiMarzio headed a committee of chairmen of other USCCB committees that drafted the document, which was prepared in an effort to form consciences, not make decisions for voters. It was issued last November.
The bishops have issued a "Faithful Citizenship" document every four years since 1976.
In his talk, the bishop referred primarily to issues in New York state. He described as "a most radical abortion bill" legislation proposed by Gov. Eliot Spitzer and known as the Reproductive Health and Privacy Protection Act.
The bishop said it would legalize partial-birth abortion, a procedure which he noted the late U.S. Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan, D-N.Y., described as "near-infanticide."
Bishop DiMarzio said the measure would "disenfranchise parents of their right to play a central role in the most significant decisions of their minor children" because it prohibits parental notification, and it would also expand access to over-the-counter pharmaceuticals "that destroy human life."
"In our own country, despite significant victories that extend protection to the unborn, this modern slaughter of the holy innocents continues because of the policies of unscrupulous politicians," he said.
"Only in circumstances that are extraordinarily hard to contemplate may a Catholic voter support a proponent of so great an intrinsic moral evil," the bishop said.
Bishop DiMarzio also questioned legislative efforts "that would undermine the family by redefining marriage." He said that "pandering to a small but well-funded special interest group, our leadership in Albany would undermine the institution that is the bedrock of our society."
Saying that the business of government is to protect the common good, the bishop asked how the state benefits by extending "the benefits of marriage" to same-sex couples.
On the issue of tax credits for the parents of children who attend nonpublic schools, which he strongly endorses, the bishop said the 15 percent of children in the state who attend those schools save taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
Yet, he said, "the working-poor Catholic families of our state and diocese that are making a contribution to the common good continue to be disenfranchised."
In contrast to a moral evil, a position on educational tax credits is a matter of prudential judgment. "People of good faith are free to disagree," he said. "The church doesn't say that people can't take the wrong position, the church only says you cannot take a position that will promote immorality."
The bishop also addressed the subprime mortgage crisis that has resulted in a sharp rise in home foreclosures.
"We in the diocese are committed to working with elected officials to assist those in jeopardy of losing their home," he said.
Stating that the diocese is also committed to ensuring that housing is affordable for working families, the bishop said this and similar issues "are important and must be considered by voters."
Turning to the war in Iraq, Bishop DiMarzio said Pope Benedict XVI "has made no secret of his personal opposition" to the conflict, "in which 4,000 servicemen and servicewomen have died, 50,000 have been wounded and the lives of tens of thousands, perhaps even a hundred thousand, Iraqis have been crushed."
Many theologians contend that a pre-emptive war cannot be justified in Catholic teaching, he said.
The current debate over troop surges or withdrawing troops or timetables for withdrawal, however, "is a matter of prudential judgment," he said.
In viewing the range of issues elected officials and candidates might take on the national and local levels, Bishop DiMarzio said that support for anyone who "espouses policies that are gravely immoral" is possible "only under exceptional circumstances that are hard to imagine."
The "Faithful Citizenship" document urges Catholics to participate in public life and help shape society.
In specific terms, the bishop urged Catholics to "register voters, knock on doors and be generous in your contributions to candidates and those institutions that will ensure our voice is heard. There is so much at stake that we cannot afford to sit on our hands."
Frank J. Keating, president of the Cathedral Club, founded in 1900, encouraged the dinner guests to join the Catholic Citizens Committee. It describes itself as "a grass-roots organization of Americans who want to see Catholics and our church treated fairly -- by government and politicians, the media and society in general."
He said further information was available on its Web site, www.catholiccitizenscommittee.org.

In a 5 to 4 decision released today, the Supreme Court upheld President Obama's Affordable Care Act legislation, enacted by Congress in 2010 to address rising healthcare costs and reduce the number of Americans without health insurance.
People For the American Way President Michael Keegan released the following statement:
"Today's decision is an important win for the American people. The Court recognized that our Constitution gives Congress the authority to address the challenges that face our nation—and that Congress acted appropriately by using its power to address the crisis in our health care system.
"What's shocking about this decision is that it isn't unanimous. By any reasonable standard, the constitutionality of Obamacare is not a close question. Ultra-conservative ideologues have been remarkably successful in pushing the Court far, far to the right and in using the Court to advance their political ideology. If the right-wing Justices on this Court want to write our laws, they should run for Congress; if they'd rather remain on the bench, they should do their own jobs, not someone else's.
"Today's close call will make the Supreme Court a major issue for progressives and independents. Mitt Romney's decision to appoint Robert Bork as his chief advisor on judicial nominations makes it clear that he's interested in stacking the Court with more of the kind of Justices who wanted to scrap protections for children and people with preexisting conditions. Voters will remember this decision when they go to the polls in November."
To no one's surprise, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has rejected President Obama's compromise that respects both the rights of women to contraception and the religious liberty of employers who are affiliated with religious organizations opposed to birth control. Under the compromise, church-affiliated organizations will not be paying for contraception, and insurance carriers will bear the cost of providing it to women without a co-pay or deductible. The Catholic Health Association and Catholic Charities quickly announced that their concerns had been addressed, and that their religious liberty would not be impaired by the modified rules. Some Republicans such as Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are similarly satisfied.
Yet the Conference of Catholic Bishops, as well as Republican congressional leaders and presidential candidates, are declaring that the compromise is part of a larger war against religious liberty. Senate Republicans are even suggesting that the birth control coverage requirement threatens the religious liberty of employers completely unconnected to religious organizations. But since these forces have so often similarly and wrongly categorized many government policies they disagree with, it is hard to take the claim seriously.
Religious liberty is one of the core protections of the United States Constitution, one whose importance cannot be overstated. And there are times when it may be proper to allow certain religious-based exemptions from generally applicable laws, such as conscientious objector status in a military context. But those are the exceptions, not the rule: We generally do not give people the right to be exempt from laws they disapprove of simply because their disapproval is religiously based.
In the current debate over health insurance, the Conference of Catholic Bishops and its partners use the language of universal religious liberty. But their February 10 news release explaining why they oppose the coverage requirement makes clear that they are making this claim only for the religious liberty of people who share their specific religious beliefs about contraception and abortion:
First, we objected to the rule forcing private health plans — nationwide, by the stroke of a bureaucrat's pen—to cover sterilization and contraception, including drugs that may cause abortion. ...
Second, we explained that the mandate would impose a burden of unprecedented reach and severity on the consciences of those who consider such "services" immoral: insurers forced to write policies including this coverage; employers and schools forced to sponsor and subsidize the coverage; and individual employees and students forced to pay premiums for the coverage. We therefore urged HHS, if it insisted on keeping the mandate, to provide a conscience exemption for all of these stakeholders—not just the extremely small subset of "religious employers" that HHS proposed to exempt initially.
Their statement was notably silent about conscience protections for other religious beliefs. They have not been talking about the right of employers from denominations that generally reject modern medical intervention to not provide their employees health insurance at all. Matthew Yglesias asked in a blog post this week if they would rush to the defense of an employer named Abdul Hussain who refused on religious reasons to offer employees health insurance that lets employees visit doctors of the opposite sex. If you really thought the principle of religious liberty was at stake, would you be satisfied with a fix that addresses only your religious beliefs but ignores everyone else's?
Whether it's contraception, marriage equality, or abortion, "religious liberty" has too often been used as a feint to disguise an aggressive demand for special rights. Specifically, the radical right regularly demands exemptions for conservative Christians and those who share their beliefs from laws they don't like.
Even when they promote "conscience" legislation with broad language that seems to be applicable to all religious beliefs, their selectivity in demanding such laws is telling. For instance, the "conscience" provisions in marriage equality legislation are generally expressed in general terms not specific to gays and lesbians' marriages, but those provisions are only inserted into state law when gays and lesbians are finally allowed to marry. Such provisions were being pushed last year in Maryland, for instance, but when the marriage equality bill failed to pass, self-proclaimed religious liberty proponents on the right made no effort to adopt the conscience provisions that would then have only affected opposite-sex married couples. Nor are right-wing groups loudly demanding such religious liberty provisions in states with DOMA-style laws like Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah. In states like these, where marriage rights for same-sex couples are foreclosed, the right is not demanding the type of "conscience" provisions for groups not providing services to married couples that they demand in states where gays can marry. In cases like these, what they claim is a general religious liberty protection is clearly designed to hurt one group and one group only.
Consider the irony of right-wing groups who crusade against what they call "special rights" for LGBT people demanding statutory exemptions solely for their own particular religious beliefs. Can there be a better example of demanding "special rights?"

Logic Noise: Ping-pong Stereo, Mixers, and More
So far on Logic Noise, we've built up a bunch of sound-making voices and played around with sequencing them. The few times that we've combined voices together, we've done so using the simplest possible passive mixer — a bunch of resistors. And while that can work, we've mostly just gotten lucky. In this session, we'll take our system's output a little bit more seriously and build up an active mixer and simple stereo headphone driver circuit.
For this, we'll need some kind of amplification, and our old friend, the 4069UB, will be doing all of the heavy lifting. Honestly, this …read more
Gates to FPGAs: TTL Electrical Properties
On the path to exploring complex logic, let's discuss the electrical properties that digital logic signals are comprised of. While there are many types of digital signals, here we are talking about the more common voltage based single-ended signals and not the dual-conductor based differential signals.
I think of most logic as being in one of two major divisions as far as the technology used for today's logic: Bipolar and CMOS. Bipolar is characterized by use of (non-insulated gate) transistors and most often associated with Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) based logic levels. As CMOS technology came of age and got …read more
True Random Number Generator for a True Hacker
How can you generate random bits? Some people think it's not easy, others will tell you that it's pretty damn hard, and then there are those who wonder if it is possible at all. Of course, it is easy to create a very long pseudorandom sequence in software, but even the best PRNG (Pseudorandom Number Generator) needs a good random seed, as we don't want to get the same sequence each time we switch on the unit, do we? That's why we need a TRNG (True Random Number Generator), but that requires special hardware.

Talking Big Changes At SparkFun With Nathan Seidle
SparkFun, you know them, you love them. They list themselves as "an online retail store" but I remember them for well-designed breakout boards, free-day, videos about building electronics, and the Autonomous Vehicle Competition. This week SparkFun turned my head for a different reason with the announcement that [Nathan Siedle], founder and CEO will be stepping down. He's not leaving, but returning to the Engineering department while someone else takes the reigns.

It's an interesting proposition; there is no company serving the maker community – and those of us who refuse to call ourselves part of the maker community – more hated than MakerBot. They've patented ideas uploaded to Thingiverse. They've turned their back on the open hardware community they grew out of, They're undercutting their own resellers, and by all accounts, they don't know how to make a working extruder.

What say you DR guru's?
Could be the diaphragm but I'd bet on the Pilot Jet. With your experience you should have no prob pulling the carb off and giving it a good clean.
Sometimes grit hangs up in the small Pilot Jet passages, has to be 100% clean to run well.
Parts in the BST Carbs do wear out over time. Slide, Jet Needle. Also maybe pull the needle jet in the float bowl, check for debris and make sure rubber tip is firm and sharp.
Sometimes its cheaper to buy a nice used, low time BST Carb and just put that on. Good luck, hope you get her up and running!
MCMA? I used to be a member in the early 90's. I hear the property is looking good with new trails. Great group of guys!!

A cosmopolitan city outstretched next to the lake of the same name, Geneva gets seen as many things: a place of history, a heartland of free thought, a fulcrum of global decision-making, a sleek Swiss conurbation. All are true – thanks largely to the presence of the UN headquarters and the city's past as a place of refuge for religious migrants – and it's somewhere that holds abundant reward for visitors, whether enjoying an alfresco lunch overlooking the lake, checking out modern art in the bohemian Carouge district or lingering over cocktails in a five-star hotel.

text: Today was our last full day in Tianjin and I really wish we could stay here longer. These last two weeks have been amazing and this trip is one of the best experiences of my life. I am really sad that we are leaving tomorrow but all I can do is remember all the great people i have met as well as all of the experiences I have had so far. For our last day Zach treated all of us and the Chinese students to an amazing meal at the Korean restaurant next to our hotel. It was fun to see all of the students again before we left and after the meal we were able to exchange some gifts that we brought from America. For my gift I burned a couple of CD's that had some of my favorite music on them and I hope that the students enjoyed them. Overall, I have learned so much in Tianjin whether it be from talking to the students, walking down the street, or even going to the bar and I will never forget the people I have met or the things that learned here.

North Carolina Division of Aging and Adult Services
******Alert #265******
Here is an alert from Det. Mike Davis of the Buncombe Co. Sheriffs Financial Crimes Unit. Following his message is information on two resources for addressing the repeat victimization phenomenon Mike describes.
We are still seeing elderly victims sending money to scammers. I just met with one that has been a victim for over 4 years. She has fallen for a scam at least once a year (mainly Jamaican scammers). The scams come in the form of phone calls and mail. This particular victim has a son who lives next door, but she does not tell him until after she has sent the money. She has her phone changed periodically but forgets to have it unlisted. The one saving grace is that her bank has refused to grant her loans once they know the reason for the loan and have contacted the authorities.
Detective RM Davis
Resource #1 Wire Transfer Cut-Off Requests
Attorney General Roy Cooper has written agreements with the two major wire transfer companies whereby he can request and obtain the cut-off of wire transfers by elderly repeat victims of fraud such as the woman Det. Davis describes. Most tel-fraud and internet scammers who target older adults are based overseas, and their means of receiving funds from their victims usually is wire transfer.
Resource #2 Victim Assistance Volunteers for Repeat Elder-Fraud Targets
With funding from the Governors Crime Commission, the Attorney Generals Office and colleagues at the Division of Aging and Adult Services, NC Department of Health and Human Services, have been training victim assistance volunteers in communities across the state and, where appropriate, placing them with seniors such as the one described by Det. Davis. The premise of the program is that elder fraud groups usually target their victims repeatedly, sometimes for years. The programs volunteers work with the victims and help them to spot the signs that a letter, call, email message or workman knocking at the door might be a prelude to another fraud. They also work with the victims to interrupt the communications from the scammers, reverse debits placed on the victims bank accounts, avoid identity theft and otherwise interrupt the cycle of scams. (Please note: This program assists those who are victims of organized criminal groups that systematically and repeatedly scam seniors. It is not tailored to or suitable for victims who have been financially exploited by individual family members, professional caregivers or others in the community. Also, victim assistance volunteers are not available in every community yet.)
If you believe an older repeat victim of frauds and scams in your community might benefit from either of these resources, contact the Attorney Generals Elder Fraud Prevent Repeat Victimization Project at 919-716-6000 and ask to speak with the telemarketing fraud duty agent.

Weekend Wrap-Up: Happy New Year!
December 31st, 2012
The last news story of the year is the weekend wrap-up, but since many studios are still closed for the holidays, we are still dealing with estimates. It appears that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey won a close race for top spot just ahead of Django Unchained. Additionally, every film in the top five came within a rounding error of predictions, or was better than expected, and the overall box office was massive compared to last year. We won't have final numbers for the last two weekends till Wednesday or Thursday, so there will be a lot of catching up to do, but it is hard to complain about the results we've seen.
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey crossed $200 million on Friday, 15 days into its run, while over the weekend it added $31.96 million to its running tally, which now sits at $221.74 million. I don't think it will reach $300 million, but it should come close. Perhaps it will come close enough that the studio will give it a boost at the end. Or maybe the movie will earn some technical Oscars and that will be enough to get to that milestone.
Django Unchained rode its reviews to second place with $30.12 million over the weekend for a total of $63.44 million since Tuesday. At this pace, it will reach $100 million with ease, maybe as soon as this time next week, while it if can pick up a number of major Awards Season wins, it should become Quentin Tarantino's biggest hit ever. Even without major wins, getting to $125 million domestically shouldn't be too hard, but I'm not sure how well a film about slavery in America will perform at the international box office.
Les Miserables earned third place with $27.28 million over the weekend for a total of $66.72 million since Tuesday. It went from first on the daily chart opening day to third over the weekend, which shows its legs will likely not be as strong as the other Christmas Day releases. It has earned great reviews and it is a favorite to pick up several Oscar nominations, and at least two wins (Anne Hathaway for Best Supporting Actress and at the very least one technical award). However, it is not as good as many were hoping it would be. That said, $125 million to $150 million is the likely final box office, and since it only cost $61 million to make, that's more than enough to ensure a profit before the home market.
Likewise, Parental Guidance has already earned more at the box office than it cost to make with an early total of $29.34 million, including $14.55 million over the weekend. Its reviews are bad, there's no getting around that, but it is a safe family film and that should help its legs going forward. Assuming it can reach $50 million during its run, it will earn a profit sometime on the home market, regardless of how well it does internationally.
As expected, Jack Reacher landed fifth place with an estimated $14.01 million over the weekend for a total of $44.66 million after two. It is on pace to match original expectations, more or less.
There likely won't be any columns tomorrow, outside of the Monthly Preview and perhaps a late review, but once the final numbers for the last two weeks show up, there will be a rush of updates for the rest of the week. We will deal with the sophomore class and the per theater chart numbers then.

Background History
Hemianthus micranthemoides is beautiful aquatic plant known for its bright light green coloration and tiny round leaves. Found naturally growing in the waterways of Southeastern United States and Central America. It remains a popular aquarium plant for aquascapers attempting to create Nature Aquarium or Dutch influenced aquascapes.
Hemianthus micranthemoides is also known commonly as Pearl Grass, Baby Tears, and formerly known as the genus Micranthemum micranthemoides.
Growth Characteristics
Hemianthus micranthemoides is an easy to grow stem plant that will grow well in a wide range of water conditions, tank parameters, and fertilization schemes. At minimum, moderate lighting should be provided to allow the leaves to grow into a rich bright green. It can be grown with or without carbon dioxide, and minimum fertilization, but will grown extensively with these supplements. Occasionally leaves may turn brown indicating either poor lighting or insufficient nutrients.
The stems will grow to a height of 2-8 inches (5-20 cm) with four tiny round leaves per node.
Propagation is like any ordinary stem plant. It can be cut in half with bottoms left in the substrate to sprout side shoots. The tops can be replanted.
Aquascaping Application
Hemianthus micranthemoides is a multipurpose plant that can fit in any part of the aquarium. In small aquariums, this plant makes a perfect background or midground plant. The small leaf structure will make the aquarium appear larger than it is. While in large aquariums, in greater densities Hemianthus micranthemoides can be planted in the foreground or midground to accent and fill holes in an aquascape.
This plant is best planted in small to medium size clusters, stem by stem, into the substrate. From there, it may be trimmed according to the aquascaping style desired. Hemianthus micranthemoides response very well to trimming, and can be groomed to grow in a lush bush, or even a more manicured mound such as the ones found in Dutch aquascapes.
In some cases, hobbyists have trained Hemianthus micranthemoides to grow horizontally to form a dense carpet. High light is needed in order to do this, and regular trimming of the emerging horizontal side shoots.

Fall Film Festival
Tonight's entry: "Tous les Matins du Monde," 1991 French film directed by Alain Corneau.
As reviewed by imdb:
"TOUS LES MATINS DU MONDE is a French film directed by Alain Corneau, from a script by Corneau and Pascal Quignard. It stars Jean-Pierre Marielle, Gerard Depardieu, Guillaume Depardieu, Anne Brochet, and Carole Richert. Unrated, includes male and female nudity. In French with English subtitles.
TOUS LES MATINS DU MONDE is as serious, slow-paced, and sadly beautiful as the viola da gamba music that pervades the film. The story of the film concentrates on the conflict between the austere, cenobitic master of the viola da gamba (the ancestor of the modern cello), Monsieur de Sainte-Colombe — whose name is otherwise unknown — and a hack seeking fame and fortune in the court of Louis XIV, Marin Marais. Their personal conflict symbolizes the war between art and commercial success, a subject as relevant today as in the late 17th Century."

The SQL file produced by mysqldump will be smaller than the actual
database directory. This directory contains index files and table
definition files that really don't need to be backup up.
IMO, the best solution is:
mysqldump --opt mydb | gzip > mydb_`date +%y%m%d%H%M%S`.sql.gz
