LAWRENCEVILLE -- A Lawrenceville man is behind bars for allegedly trying to burn down his girlfriend's home with a firework in the wake of a domestic dispute, authorities said Friday.
Fire investigators arrested Joshua Rotkaen, 21, Thursday night at his residence on Sweetwater Road.
Investigators believe Rotkaen ignited his girlfriend's Stone Hollow Place home, located off Moon Road in Lawrenceville, as her parents lay sleeping inside about 6 a.m. Thursday.
A neighbor spotted flames on the side of the home, knocked on the door to alert the family, then used a garden hose to douse the blaze, said Fire Department spokesman Capt. Thomas Rutledge.
The fire caused moderate damage to the home's siding, and no injuries were reported.
"They're fortunate that the neighbor was alert," Rutledge said.
Fire crews called in investigators after discovering a firework device in close proximity to the burned area. A woman who lives in the home with her parents returned to the house and led investigators to Rotkaen, her boyfriend, Rutledge said.
"They had gotten into an altercation earlier in the morning, which left a mark on her," Rutledge said.
Investigators executed a search warrant at Rotkaen's residence, where they found fireworks identical to the one located at the fire scene, Rutledge said.
"During questioning at his home, Rotkaen admitted to causing the fire with a firework device," he said.
Rotkaen remains at the Gwinnett County Jail on first-degree arson and battery charges. The latter charge is related to the domestic dispute, Rutledge said.

The Cleveland Browns have taken a deliberate and careful approach to free agency. Slightly more deliberate and careful than their latest arrival was while driving with pizza in his car.
Receiver Nate Burleson has agreed to terms with the Browns on a one-year deal. His agent, Ken Sarnoff, confirmed the development to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.

Even though fat is beginning to accumulate on your baby's body, the skin still hangs loosely, giving your baby a wrinkled appearance. Your baby's daily workout routine includes moving the muscles in the fingers, toes, arms, and legs regularly. As a result, you may feel more forceful movements.
By now your baby weighs a little more than 1 pound (454 grams). If preterm labor and delivery were to occur this week, a baby could survive with expert medical care, but might have mild to severe disabilities. With increasing research and knowledge in the field of fetal medicine, the long-term prognosis for premature babies (preemies) improves every year.
The closer you get to your delivery date, the more trouble you may have sleeping. Anxiety, frequent urination, heartburn, leg cramps, and general discomfort can translate into a short night's sleep for a pregnant woman. But your baby's health and your own depend on you getting adequate rest. Try a warm bath, soothing music, a relaxing book, or a cup of herbal tea to put you in the mood to snooze.
Many doctors recommend that pregnant women sleep on their sides, not their backs or stomachs, so that blood flow to the placenta is not restricted. If you find this uncomfortable, try placing a pillow between your knees to relieve the pressure of your weight while lying on your side.

Never tried celery root fried before...though Its gonna be olive oil for me for the frying/baking fat :) nice idea.thanks!
09/26/2009 - 03:45
These Celery French Fries look delicious ! Cutting the celery root into these regular shapes might be a mighty big task. Is it soft enough to cut with a knife? Like potato fries these fries are not deep fried in oil. Why do you call them fries ...when they are bakes ? No offense :):)
11/10/2009 - 21:31
It would have been nice to see the process of peeling and slicing that root up. I am curious as to how difficult or easy that part of it might be!
03/11/2010 - 00:51
I don't think it's easy to cut these celery roots into regular shapes. However, I wanna try this to experience myself !!
03/11/2010 - 07:57
Hey, I like these healthy celery root fries. With all others I agree that cutting these into regualr shapes may be pretty difficult.

Jong, Enny
mandarin orchard hotel always give their best effort to provide better and better service to their guest. however, there is one little thing i would like to suggest. the soap, shampoo, shower gel etc, in my opinion they should change it to better quality appropriate to their hotel stars. many other four to five stars hotel have supply their guest with certain good brands of shower gel and shampoo.
Apr 2015
only the room and the furniture need to be upgraded. The service provided by the hotel staff was very accomodating. Appreciate it! (in terms of extrabed)

Following the release of the footage showing the giant squid in its natural habitat has once again triggered everyone's interest in the elusive species.
The first live giant squid was captured on video nearly 2,000 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean last summer. The video titled "Monster Squid: The Giant is Real" is scheduled to air on channel Discovery on January 27.
Squids are prolific cephalopods that grow up to 55 feet in length. They grow very fast and live only a few years. Cephalopods, which are commonly known as "inkfish" among fishermen, are believed to predate the dinosaurs, stretching back around five hundred million years to the Late Cambrian Period. The giant squids have evolved from a totally different background from humans and other vertebrates.
Edie Widder, who helped capture the video showing the squid, said creature captured on the video was around 30 feet long and used to appear silver & gold in color. Tsunemi Kubodera, one of Widder's co-workers, said the squid was missing two of its longest tentacles.
Biology Prof. William Gilly, who had studied a dead squid that was found floating in Monterey Bay, California, a few years back, said he was thrilling to see a living giant squid in a video.
Speaking on the topic, Gilly, said, "It was really thrilling to see the press releases concerning the filming of a living giant squid with a manned submersible."
The giant squid still remains a mystery, but the new video recording of the animal in its natural habitat is expected to provide more information than ever about this elusive animal.

Stabbing is cause of death in Simi homicide
A Simi Valley woman found dead in her home Sunday was stabbed to death, authorities said today.
An autopsy determined that Josefina Lanuza-Gutierrez, 44, bled to death from multiple stab wounds, said Senior Deputy Medical Examiner Craig Stevens.
The victim was pronounced dead at 8:07 a.m. Sunday at her home in the 800 block of Moffatt Circle.
Police have released few details about the homicide, saying it could compromise the investigation.
A statement from Simi Valley police Monday evening said the killing was "not a random act of violence" but "not related to any previous or ongoing criminal activity."
Police discovered the body after someone called 911 at 7:54 a.m. Sunday to report it.

Bobby turns yellow when a middle school tradition turns on him!
In an attempt to go down in Tom Landry Middle School history, Bobby Hill tries out for the school mascot, the Landry Longhorn. After winning the coveted role, Bobby gets a rude awakening to the realities of the position. When playing the McMaynerbury Javelins, there is a tradition called the McMaynerbury Whuppin' where the Javelins' pep band gets to beat up the Longhorn when Landry is leading. Instead of taking the beating, Bobby sticks his tail between his legs and runs off the field from a stunned and angry crowd.
With the entire town now against him, Bobby comes up with a plan to salvage his -- and his father's -- tarnished reputation. He attempts to kidnap the Belton Armadillo, but has to stop because he realizes that Belton will try to steal the Longhorn. In a feeble salvage attempt, Bobby gets trapped inside the Longhorn costume container and subsequently gets stolen by Belton.
On the day of the big game against Belton, Bobby manages to escape the Belton storage room and capture the armadillo in front of the whole stadium. He then gains the reputation as the greatest mascot in Tom Landry Middle School history and begins a new tradition all his own: For stealing the armadillo, Bobby becomes the recipient of the first ever Belton Beating!

Margibi County — A youth of the Cinta Clan in Margibi County has donated disinfectants and medical gears worth over $10,000 US dollars to residents to contain the Ebola outbreak in the county. Items donated along with the medical gears include six hundred buckets, one thousand pieces of soap, six hundred gallons of chloride, ten bags of rice and cartoons of lights.
At a press conference held recently in Weala, Margibi County, Mr. Clarence Gahr said the medical consignment to citizens of the district was a show of time and needed service.
He said residents of the county have had one of the highest hit of Ebola deaths - a situation he said is claiming so many lives in just five months. Gahr, an Accountant at the Salala Rubber Corporation (SRC), gave tribute to the citizens of the district for making so much publicity about the Ebola Outbreak. He expressed gratitude for the donated consignment saying that it will help immensely.
He said the situation in the district was quite disappointing; pointing out that everything has come to a halt. According to him the heinous Ebola disease is taking its toll and terminating family lineages as 90% of some families have died. He also advised the Margibi County Health Team to change the sensitization message by now emphasizing on zero contact.
Gahr also thanked all the community people for their efforts in fighting the disease. He said Liberia was in a pathetic situation as people are now being buried in mass graves in the absence of their loved ones.
He informed that because of the Ebola outbreak when people currently become sick, they are not giving any treatment and automatically die. He advised all and sundry to give confidence to the health workers to treat other people that are not Ebola effected. He disclosed that even hospitals in the county had closed. Gahr urged citizens to put hands on deck to contain the disease before it spreads to other parts of the district.
In his welcome address Cinta's Township Commissioner, William Julye, described the donation as a clear demonstration of love and sympathy to the people of district 5 as the disease continues to kill every now and then.
He said the people of the district would really appreciate whoever comes to their rescue at this moment in order to contain the dreadful disease. "Most of us have lost relatives either directly or indirectly to the Ebola disease, especially in our district," he disclosed, adding that "even at this press conference we just had a call that there were more suspected cases in the district.
An official of the county health team only identified as Beatrice on behalf of commended Gahr for the gesture. She admitted the fact that the as the Ebola disease is new to the district and Liberia, they were initially baffled about it. According to her, they are now changing the awareness messages, to reduce the tendency of contacts made with possibly infected persons.

Richards Apology Boosts Letterman Ratings
Joining Letterman and former co-worker
In the clip, Richards responds to some vocal audience members at a
Appearing on "Late Show," Richards appeared solemn.
"You know, I'm really busted up over this and I'm very, very sorry to those people in the audience, the blacks, the Hispanics, whites -- everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through, and I'm concerned about more hate and more rage and more anger coming through, not just towards me but towards a black/white conflict," Richards said in the seven-minute segment. "There's a great deal of disturbance in this country and how blacks feel about what happened in Katrina, and, you know, many of the comics, many of performers are in Las Vegas and New Orleans trying to raise money for what happened there, and for this to happen, for me to be in a comedy club and flip out and say this crap, you know, I'm deeply, deeply sorry."
Letterman cut Richards no slack and frequently interrupted for clarifications on various points. The 57-year-old actor became increasingly frustrated and emotional.
"I'm not a racist," he insisted. "That's what's so insane about this".
The show's overnight ratings were the highest in nearly a year. "Late Show" did a 5.2/13 in metered markets, beating

Written during 1913 and 1914, immediately after Howards End, and not published until 1971, Maurice was ahead of its time in its theme and in its affirmation that lvoe between men can be happy. "Happiness," Forster wrote, "is its keynote. . . . In Maurice I tried to create a character who was completely unlike myself or what I supposed myself to be: someone handsome, healthy, bodily attractive, mentally torpid, not a bad businessman and rather a snob. Into this mixture I dropped an ingredient that puzzles him, wakes him up, torments him and finally saves him." ...show less

Gear Review
Doesn't whisper, not lite... but...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Love this stove. I've been using it since I read Mark Twight's book "Extreme Alpinism". I agree with him in that a canister stove does not compare at altitude or in cold weather. After fussing with my MSR Pocket rocket above treeline, and running out of fuel more times than I can count, I now take this stove everywhere I go (with the exception of light and fast summer trips). For climbing, if I strip down my GSI microdualist to just the pot, I can fit this stove inside of it. I use the 11 oz fuel bottle which will last me for several days to a week. For high mountain bivies, this stove cannot be beat! Of course, it is more bulky and a bit more heavy (though you save weight because each ounce of fuel goes further). It also does not "whisper", however, compared to it's bigger cousins it certainly does.

Bring on the crowds; retailers await you
Despite credit woes, housing problems, sales expected to rise
This Black Friday, the traditional kickoff of Christmas shopping, retailers still will make big money despite a weakening house market and credit crunch.
The National Retail Federation forecasts sales will rise 4 percent this year to $474.5 billion during the 2007 holiday season, November through December. Last year, holiday sales reached an estimated $456.2 billion.
Black Friday, so named because it bumps retailers' balance sheets from red into the black, is not the busiest day of the year for stores, but discount sales and extended businesses hours attract large crowds to the stores.
"Retailers are in for a somewhat challenging holiday season as consumers are faced with numerous economic obstacles," said Rosalind Wells, a chief economist for the National Retail Federation. "With the weak housing market and current credit crunch, consumers will be forced to be more prudent with their holiday spending."
The National Retail Federation is the nation's largest retail trade association, representing more than 1.6 million U.S. retail establishments.
In Corpus Christi, stores have been preparing for the Christmas season since October. Local Target store manager Cindy Groce and Academy Sports and Outdoors store director Scott Trimmins said Black Friday no longer is the busiest day of shopping, but the stores still open early in hopes of attracting crowds.
"We've also hired extra staff to help us keep the register lines short and to have everything organized in stock," Groce said.
The 2007 holiday sales increase is expected to fall below the 10-year average of 4.8 percent. It would represent the slowest holiday sales growth since 2002, when sales rose 1.3 percent. Last year, 58.9 million people shopped on Black Friday. One in four of those shoppers were at the stores by 5 a.m. or earlier.
The retailers most affected by the economy will be those catering to the low- to middle-income consumer. This could spell trouble for discount stores such as Target or Wal-Mart and some department stores such as Macy's and Dillard's where a majority of shoppers went last year.
The Internet also will play an important role in holiday shopping, with 61 percent of adults shopping online to avoid holiday crowds or to find better prices. Cyber Monday is the online retail equivalent to Black Friday, reffering to the Monday after Thanksgiving when online commerce and traffic sales increase.
Electronics and toys are expected to be the biggest sellers, giving discount stores an advantage over department stores. Gift cards also will be a popular gift.

Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette reports on Thursday that talks between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Bill Parise, the agent for linebacker James Harrison, are currently at an impasse concerning his contract. The Steelers are obviously wanting Harrison to take a cut in his $6.57 million salary this season, but it appears that is something the linebacker isn't interested in doing. Parise had said a few weeks ago that they were interested in helping the Steelers out by having Harrison's contract restructured, which would result in more cap liability being pushed forward to future years Read more [...]

Jay Carney, President Barack Obama's spokesman and the face of his communications operation, is leaving the White House.
Can the master of bureaucratic obfuscation put off his Bumpuh?
White House press secretary Jay Carney's debut as a short-selling tout is off to a rough start.
President Barack Obama is briefing top lawmakers on Iraq with no sign he's ready to order a military intervention to help the Shiite-dominated government fight off Sunni militants threatening the capital Baghdad.
Hong Kong's decision to let fugitive Edward Snowden leave for Moscow "unquestionably" damages U.S. relations with China, President Barack Obama's spokesman said.
The White House had no involvement in any scrutiny of political groups by the Internal Revenue Service and no prior notification of a Justice Department probe of a news organization's telephone records, President Barack Obama's spokesman said.
The U.S. government is "deeply concerned" about rising pressure China is putting on foreign journalists operating in the country, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in a statement released today.
The Obama administration left the door open to providing some military assistance to Ukraine while ruling out providing arms or other "lethal" aid at this time.
"From the beginning, Russia's aggression in Ukraine has been a reflection of its diminished stature and influence in Europe and the world."

For Provider Participants: Policy
Viewing the Citizen Rider as the Enemy
Due to the increased demand on Paratransit systems in the future for a rapidly aging society-STOP viewing the Citizens, both elder and disabled populations, as the enemy of paratransit systems and a drain on the fixed route system!! Communication skill-sets are paramount in the FTA side of things! Cease placing the burdens onto the citizen as the FTA is doing now, when establishing FULL transportations communications systems that will forward incident reports, medical or otherwise, from fixed route to the comparable paratransit providers, thereby delineating the antagonistic approach many veterans, elders, and people with disabilities whether veterans, family members, or non-service connected disabled are currently experiencing. This Communications process needs to be a Nation-wide network that follows the person. It is medically based but can also function as a security focal point as well, going into the future. Smart cards are around the corner for all users of the Transportation system on the Nationwide scale, although it is being done city by city. With a focal point on health issues in a rapidly aging population to contain paratransit costs without overburdening the ill taxpayer, while still rendering the expected transportation services, at the same time lowering the carbon footprint, it is wise to incorporate at this juncture, a vast transportation tele-communications and internet system that will follow the person. I cannot get the paratransportation I need in Honolulu so I am moving and trying in another City. I have Medicare as my Primary insurance that does not include transportation coverage, tricare secondary, and am not getting paratransit for my brain disability at this time so I am shut in! If transportation is so worried that I am not using transportation dollars correctly because I can walk without having a full brain but have convulsions on a moving bus, it is time to have the transportation companies communicating with each other instead of refusing me public transit my tax dollars pay for and my husband, father, fought for, now dead, my mother served for in Korea, however she is still alive. Transportation needs to communicate!! Shore to shore!!! FTA start acting responsible!!!

Idea Details

I was one of the people on the committee that helped write those regulations concerning paratransit. it is very important to remember that the transit complementary paratransit service is NOT medical transportation. it is the "bus" for those who cannot access the mainline service solely because of their disability.
consider this. it costs a transit agency over $35 for each and every trip on paratransit. the added cost for accessible mainline service is less than $1 no one gives the transit authorities extra money to carry all of the people who think of the paratransit service as a subsidized cab. it isn't
I don't work for a transit system and am a wheelchair using vet who regularly rides the mainline buses, it isn't that difficult. but if the reason for riding paratransit is illness or medical and not an "inability to navigate the system" then paratransit is inappropriate and specialized medical transportation should be used. far too many medical facilities are taking the easy way out and pawning off their clients onto paratransit. this is wrong and inappropriate. if there is mainline service it should be used.
personally I think the transit autorities paratransit services in this country are being abused and overused by those who do not meet the narrow criteria set down by the laws.
if the VA or other groups want to use the paratransit system as their shuttle buses they should be paying the full cost.. the regulations state in the preamble "Paratransit is NOT intended to be a comprehensive system of public transit"
try riding the bus.
Comments on this comment
Unfortunately the HandiVan is for ALL people that cannot safely RIDE theBus, whether wheelchair user or not. I am one of those people! Secondly paratransit is to be Federally comparable to the fixed route system, and The HandiVan is NOT! Thirdly, the cost of operating one HandiVan per day in 2011 was $96.10 which refutes your cost measures! Go to the most recent Honolulu survey for these figures, and the costs were provided by OTS! So you see, with a comparable system as Federally required, inclusive of people's rights to visit their doctors if need be, there is no reason to deny service to any person with a severe disability that CANNOT RIDE theBus. Paratransit is not designed to be a monetary holding tank of funds for a political choo choo train, and deny people with disabilities, the elderly, the wanted and needed transportation for their livelihoods to pursue their 14th Amendment Civil Right! You have denied me, mine!
the National Transit Database which is what your system reports officially to the feds says it is $33 per unlinked trip. but be that as it may you seem to miss the point.
paratransit is not for people in wheelchairs. in fact most people in wheelchairs are able to ride the regular bus. it is for those who are "unable to use the system" it is not medical transportation The VA should be providing that. it is not a fancy cab.
And unfortunately the requirement for paratransit in suburban areas is holding back expansion of transit for everyone.
last thur I was trying to ride a regular bus and the driver refused to let me on a half empty bus because I should be "on paratransit where I belonged" that is treating the passenger as the enemy (and he has been reported)
Comments on this comment
While Bus operators regularly discriminate, that is my point entirely! Wheelchair users have hurt feelings when discriminated against by a bus operator, and I am pulled from a bus by ambulance personnel and suffer seizures for several days after, still refused paratransit because I am mobile with two legs that work, facing discrimination by the paratransit personnel and by the fixed route personnel, my choices are stay shut-in and die-or ride and die. Not much of a choice in public transportation because these people are ignorant and chose to sap people's civil rights. That is not a negotiable item for me as my Civil Rights were purchased by both my parents serving in Korea, My deceased husband a Lt.Col now deceased, I am unable to visit his grave and my Father's grave!
The intent of this dialogue is to shape our nation's ability to deliver the right services, programs, guidance, and technical assistance to veterans, families, transportation and community leaders. We encourage you to comment and suggest solutions to transportation issues for veterans that could be useful in a discussion on a national or statewide policy level.
Comments on this comment
and that was the reason I suggested taking this individual complaint to private mail. however the comment I recieved the other day is not issolated I travel all over the country and have seen this attitude to greater or lesser degree in almost every city. I could start in the NE and end in the SW and name cities and transit systems (or at least some individuals) that treat the person with a disability as an intrusion and unwelcome on their vehicles.
the bottom line is how to convince transit systems in general and certain employees in particular that a person with a disability and a veteran is a valued customer and welcome on the bus/streetcar/Light rail/subway etc.
there are still a few systems in this country that have a culture of exclusion even 20+ years after the ADA. some few systems are welcoming but most systems show benign indifference as best I can tell, meeting the letter of the law and no more. I've gotten more respect being shoved into a rush hour subway in Tokyo (in a wheelchair) than I have on many systems here in the US. and that is the bottom line issue, I know and am comfortable riding mainline transit, what about the first time rider or occasional rider. will they continue to use transit if they are treated like a pariah.
Correct the systems will meet the "...letter of the law and no more..." however it is worst for the invisibly disabled at this point in time! Many people that do not use durable medical equipment are finding increasing difficulty to maneuver the transportation systems in our Nation simply because the Transportation system itself is focused on the aspect of the "Visibly disabled" or somehow being able to tell a person is disabled through the human acute sense of listening for it, seeing it. Even the Fixed Route system in my town asks bus riders to give their seats to the disabled riders. What does a disabled rider look like? If a neuro-affected rider boards and needs that seat on a SRO bus how does that person expect a seat? Having been repeatedly turned down because I "do not look like I have a disability" only to have a motor focal event because I cannot ride a bus standing up since having a part of my brain removed, yet require no wheelchair or other DME, leaves me the social pariah of a transit system,ADA system, and society that is used to being able to socially employ human sensory organs to discover the humans with disabilities within its human population. I have witnessed kids with polio on SRO buses being denied seats as well. Youth with neuro traumas are equally at risk of such treatment.
Perhaps a National Transportation P&P that dictates people with disabilities will not necessarily "look,sound,act,appear,seem..." disabled needs to be adopted where people are not being tested out for their "disability" that has already been proven in the Federal level if receiving a social security benefit, or has anatomical loss. To repeat these tests is demeaning and immoral to the personhood of the person with the disability, yet is obvious the person in a chronic state of illness and disorder has that physician. Would it not be simpler to train an educated physician licensed in the State to fill a simple form for paratransit for difficult neurotrauma and invisible disorders or when the client/patient requests and where the training of Transportation has not been sufficient?

Awesome win for the Hawks! The Hawks and their fans deserve this Stanley Cup after all those dark years under Bill Wirtz.
Great feeling.
Awesome win for the Hawks! The Hawks and their fans deserve this Stanley Cup after all those dark years under Bill Wirtz.
Great feeling.
I love Jeremy Roenick. Love seeing that kind of emotion out of him. He's the biggest reason I became a Hawks fan.
Where's Chelios?
Congrats to the Hawks, they pressed hard the past 2 games and looked to be the best by a fair margin, the Flyers couldn't roll lines with them in this game, only their defense kept them in the 1st 50 minutes.
Season starts in 4 months.
Go Wings!
Good playoffs, weird ending because few people knew it was over until 4-5 second after the goal.
Hawks were the best team this year, they deserved this. I'm sure the parade will be crazy.
Congrats to the Hawks. They are a tremendous team.
"The players make the manager, it's never the other way." - Sparky Anderson
That hit was plenty fair. Atleast by a quarter of an inch.
-Steve Stone
IIRC, they both signed 5 yr extensions last year. Granted, that only gets them through their mid-twenties. Keith signed some ridiculous extension as well, I think it was 13 or 14 years.
They do have a couple problem contracts. Campbell, I believe, is the highest played player on the team, and Huet makes plenty of money to sit on the bench.
I don't think it will be too much of an issue for 2 years, but they'll have to get inventive and move bodies for draft picks and Jr players if they need salary relief, it will hurt late season pickups (as seen with the Wings this season) all and all they'll have the two youngsters for awhile.
The thing I love most about hockey [though it could be said of other sports as well] is that these guys work so hard all year long, they sweat, they bleed, they ache....all for the chance to spend an hour at the end of the season running around on the ice like a bunch of ten year old kids screaming and yelling and acting like fools.
It's a beautiful thing to behold and even more special when it is 'your' team.
Congrats Blackhawks!
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

Unasked and Unanswered Questions
Grutter v. Bollinger was the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the University of Michigan Law School's racial admissions policy. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, writing for the majority, said the U.S. Constitution "does not prohibit the Law School's narrowly tailored use of race in admissions decisions to further a compelling interest in obtaining the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body." But what are the educational benefits of a diverse student body?
Intellectuals argue that diversity is necessary for academic excellence, but what's the evidence? For example, Japan is a nation bereft of diversity in any activity. Close to 99 percent of its population is of one race. Whose students do you think have higher academic achievement — theirs or ours? According to the 2009 Program for International Student Assessment, the academic performance of U.S. high-school students in reading, math and science pales in comparison with their diversity-starved counterparts in Japan.
Should companies be treated equally? According to a Wall Street Journal op-ed (9/7/2009) by Manhattan Institute's energy expert Robert Bryce, Exxon Mobil pleaded guilty in federal court to killing 85 birds that had come into contact with its pollutants. The company paid $600,000 in fines and fees. A recent Associated Press story (5/14/2013) reported that "more than 573,000 birds are killed by the country's wind farms each year, including 83,000 hunting birds such as hawks, falcons and eagles, according to an estimate published in March in the peer-reviewed Wildlife Society Bulletin." The Obama administration has never fined or prosecuted windmill farms, sometimes called bird Cuisinarts, for killing eagles and other protected bird species. In fact, AP reports that the Obama administration has shielded the industry from liability and has helped keep the scope of the deaths secret. It's interesting that The Associated Press chose to report the story only after the news about its reporters being secretly investigated. That caused the Obama administration to fall a bit out of favor with them. But what the heck, the 14th Amendment's requirement of "equal protection" before the law for everybody can be cast aside in the name of diversity, so why can't it be cast aside in the name of saving the planet? There are politically favored industries just as there are politically favored groups.
What's the difference between a progressive, a liberal and a racist? In some cases, not much. President Woodrow Wilson was a leading progressive who believed in notions of racial superiority and inferiority. He was so enthralled with D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation" movie, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan, that he invited various dignitaries to the White House to view it with him. During one private screening, President Wilson exclaimed: "It's like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true." When President Wilson introduced racial segregation to the civil service, the NAACP and the National Independent Political League protested. Wilson vigorously defended it, arguing that segregation was in the interest of Negroes.
Dr. Thomas Sowell, in "Intellectuals and Race," documents other progressives who were advocates of theories of racial inferiority. They included former presidents of Stanford University and MIT, among others. Eventually, the views of progressives fell out of favor. They changed their name to liberals, but in the latter part of the 20th century, the name liberals fell into disrepute. Now they are back to calling themselves progressives.
I'm not arguing that today's progressives are racists like their predecessors, but they share a contempt for liberty, just as President Wilson did. According to Hillsdale College history professor Paul A. Rahe — author of "Soft Despotism, Democracy's Drift" — in his National Review Online (4/11/13) article "Progressive Racism," Wilson wanted to persuade his compatriots to get "beyond the Declaration of Independence." President Wilson said the document "did not mention the questions" of his day, adding, "It is of no consequence to us." My question is: Why haven't today's progressives disavowed their racist predecessors?

Rated 2 out of 5 by tara12 Poor Service The service at your hotel was very poor. All of the staff we nice and pleasant people, however, they lacked good training on how to provide excellent service. March 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Hubbyinhospital This hotel was lacking good staff The lady that checked us in was rude. The room was dusty. Tuesdays paper was under the door and we checked in on a Thursday afternoon. There was not an extra blanket provided for the pull out sofa bed. The glass water glasses were smudged. The checkout process was horrible. There was a food/beverage charge on our bill and the staff did not know how to remove it. We did not charge any food or beverage to the room during our one night stay. It took over 45 minutes to checkout. I'm still not entirely sure if the amount charged to my credit card is entirely accurate. The staff at this hotel at the front desk is lacking in skills. February 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Nicole1902 Excellent Service Cons: Tv's didn't work well, parking is not directly connected to the building. Pros: Everything else, including exceptional service - especially from Eric. February 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Pat622 Great hotel miserable wifi I have stayed in this hotel many times and I like almost everything -- great staff, rooms, restaurant, fitness center. The one huge problem they have is the wifi. In many of the rooms it is barely possible to connect and the bandwidth is horrible. I would be happy to pay if I could get a decent connection. Instead you have to pay and get no connection. Otherwise I recommend this hotel without hesitation. February 8, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by JIB072762 Great Staff, Good room, and great location. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were spacious, and the bed was wonderful for a hotel. The location is in the heart of downtown and there is fun and interesting things to do and see. January 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 2carat Lovely Hotel The Sheraton is a great place to stay as it is centrally located to many restaurants and attractions in the downtown area. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are spacious with very comfortable beds. January 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Abby1212 Not my best stay I've stayed at the Sheraton Duluth several times and have had great experiences every time. However, this stay wasn't up to my expectations. I recommended this hotel for a friends bachelorette party. Before we went out, we turned the heat down because it was very warm in the room. When we got back we noticed it was still very warm so we turned the air on and figured we would just turn it off in a few hours. We then went to bed. I woke up around 5 AM covered in sweat. The heating system must have been broken because it was just blowing hot air into the room all night. Very uncomfortable!!! In the morning we were rolling the pull out couch back up and noticed something white on the floor under the couch. It turned out to be some sort of VERY MOLDY food! Yikes. the carpet around the food was also starting to mold so it must have been there for quite a while. :( Not the best stay but like I said before. I've had a great experience there every time before that. December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 84Ryan Great personalized help My car in the garage had its battery go dead and the shuttle driver and one of the maintenance men were kind enough to help me get it started. They were very helpful and extremely service oriented. December 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Avery88 Quiet, convenient, and clean! Great service! This is a great place to stop while travelling. The hotel staff is always pleasant. The rooms are nice, quiet, and clean. I will definitely be back! December 25, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Scooter68 wireless internet fees As a former Duluth native, I really appreciate the modern accomodations now available on the east side of downtown. The entire hotel promises to change my visiting experience in Duluth. My only criticism is the sneaky charge for internet. We spent one night, and after my family connected their devices I had 3 charges for $4.95 each for internet (although one had automatically been reversed by 'JP'. The room rate was very reasonable - if a surcharge must be attained for this service, why not just bump up the rate by $5? Otherwise, I found everything else professional, convenient & all around impressive. December 23, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by 84Ryan Needs refocus I've been staying here a long time. As the hotel has gotten more popular, I feel that the environment has become much noisier and loud people and parties occur more frequently, especially on weekends. Occasionally, I feel like with the increase in business, less attention has been given to maintenance issues like rattling HVAC intakes, hot water temperature/pressure, banged up walls and furniture. While the staff is attentive, professional and very friendly, I think it would be great if personal follow up of reported issues with a room was forthcoming. December 21, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by HockeyMomBB1 This hotel did not meet our expectations Unfortunately, the room did not have a fridge or microwave for our convenience. We were disappointed in the fact that there would be no continental breakfast provided. December 16, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by kid15 Hockey This wasn't a hockey friendly hotel. The parking is hard when dealing with the hockey bags. a breakfast should be provided. With games at 8 in the morning if not sooner the kids need to eat something. No frig or microwave was a bummer too. December 16, 2013

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jewel44 ???? I booked our room in November for my husbands graduation from St. Scholastica. An event 2 years in the making and very important. I had such high hopes for the hotel. We checked and quickly found that we were not going to like our stay as we were placed on the same floor as a youth hockey team who were loud and incredibly disruptive late into the evening. Despite a call to the front desk and security never coming to address the issue we did manage to get to sleep with the use of ear plugs. The following morning it was snowing. After the horrible nights sleep we contemplated eating at the 301, but did so anyway for saving time. It again was a miserable experience. Our waitress was awful. Despite that the food was great. We were glad to check out and leave. I did inform the desk clerk, who said she would credit my account with points. I have yet to see this. I doubt we will ever be back to your hotel. Not sure what you could do to convince us otherwise. Sad this will be part of my husband graduation memory. December 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mushrooms The staff went over and above our expectations My wife got red wine spilled on her outfit during a party we were attending. The hotel staff took the clothing and not only did they get all the stains out, had it waiting and ready for us the next morning. That is awesome. December 11, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by fate2 noisey Traffic from street was quite noisey. It was a Saturday night and I know atleast two weddings across the street. We were on 5th floor and found it loud in hallways also. I wish that you had more entrances or exits to the building other then lobby. December 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by marshy24 Room Upgrade. I was emailed a room upgrade for a additional $20 a night for lakeview which we decided to do. The view was more of a roof then a lake so I would not recommend this upgrade. December 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Duluth2013 Very nice, spur of the moment stay We originally came for dinner at Restaurant 301, the hotel's restaurant. After eating a really nice meal, we decided to stay overnight. The kids enjoyed swimming, I enjoyed the work out room and the staff was very polite and accommodating. November 13, 2013

Rated 3 out of 5 by AnnieD Not happy I paid a hefty price for this hotel, only because of its proximaty to the ballroom across the street. I was disappointed that there was no refrigerator or microwave in the room. And most of all no continental breakfast. I think the price was too high for this reason, and will never stay there again or recommend this hotel to anyone! October 21, 2013

We've heard about the most spectacular falls -- such as Mike Tyson and Kareem Abdul Jabbar -- but, unfortunately, this sad outcome is far from rare.
After reviewing the footage and analyzing a series of bad plays since Janay Rice's attack, it's clear that the victims of domestic violence whose attackers play for professional sports associations are in desperate need of a strong defensive lineup.
LeBron James is back in Cleveland. Carmelo Anthony has returned to New York. Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker have finally made it to the NBA. After such an exciting, entertaining and simply ridiculous summer, we are now inching toward the regular season.
Like Lebron James, the NBA appears dedicated to setting a proper example. Like Johnny Football, the NFL has continually skirted responsibility for its actions and realities.
In many ways LeBron is an embodiment of the next generation of Cleveland and the Rust Belt. His return epitomizes possibility. The beauty of cities and societies is that they are constantly evolving.
How unusual has the weather been? No one event is "caused" by climate change, but global warming, which is predicted to increase unusual, extreme weather, is having a daily effect on weather, worldwide.
Teens go through a difficult, sometimes torturous dance deciding who they are, what they stand for and who they're destined to be. But young LeBron James was different.
Retaining Wiggins wouldn't be wasting the remainder of LeBron's prime -- it just might be what extends it.
If you are a Timberwolves fan, you should be on board for Wiggins to Minneapolis because he could become the new face of the franchise. With Love being traded, you lose a franchise player but gain one in the process.
This question originally appeared on Quora: Did LeBron James make the right call in returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers? ...
Reports are out that former Indiana Pacer Lance Stephenson has signed a three-year, $27 million deal to play for the Charlotte Hornets. Stephenson, wh...
The ESPYS is more than a celebration of athletic achievement. It's a gathering of athletes and entertainers who band together in utilizing their collective platforms to fight against cancer in hopes of finding a cure for it.
His time in Los Angeles will influence Asian Americans, particularly male youth, in countless ways (not to mention those jersey sales.) All eyes will be on the California native, to see what he'll do for Los Angeles.
We need to get rid of this idea that African American men need to constantly show deference to avoid vilification. This idea is deeply connected to the expectations held of African Americans both in slavery and the Jim Crow South.
I like LeBron's choice this time for many of the same reasons you might like it, but I have another very good reason for liking it. James, perhaps unwittingly, has gotten out of the engineering business.
The decision of LeBron James to return to Cleveland to finish his NBA career and his eloquent rationale will elevate him to the pantheon of American heroes. This strikes a dramatic blow to the "money is everything" mentality that has permeated sports.

Heavy Liner

I think it is really pretty when pairing such a heavy liner, with softer makeup like rosy cheeks and lips. This has a lot of brown shadow and is really angled, pulling the eye upwards! It's done with a combination of pencil and black gel liner, brown shadow, rose blush and rosy lip balm.

For the Thursday Oklahoman, I wrote about Clint Chelf and the Oklahoma State quarterback competition. How Chelf has replaced an iconic quarterback (Austin Box at Enid High School) long before his current bid to succeed Brandon Weeden. You can read that column here. But Chelf had some more to say that I thought was interesting.
On what he learned from backing up Weeden the last two years: "The way Brandon handled himself on and off the field. The way he handled the media. I learned as much as you possibly could. I know the offense as well as anyone can. Our offense is going to stay the same. I know it was as good as you can possibly be. Just knowing what he knows is going to help me. Anything he says, you can rely on that."
On what style of quarterback he might be: "I feel like I'm athletic enough to make some plays with my legs. I definitely feel like I can lead the team, too." Chelf actually was an accomplished runner at Enid, with occasional games over 100 yards rushing. Seems like it might behoove the Cowboys to tinker with the offense regardless of whether Chelf or J.W. Walsh wins the job.
On his arm strength, compared to Weeden's big cannon: "It's definitely gotten stronger. Definitely not an issue. (Weeden's arm) it's really not anything I looked at. Not very many guys can throw like him. Guys like that don't come along very often. He can spin it with the best of 'em."
On following Weeden in general: "I look at it, he led the team to 12 wins; 23 in two years. That's the only thing that builds pressure. If you go out and win games, that's all that matters."
Does it bother you that they haven't named you the starter? "Not really. None of us have any starts. Really doesn't bother me. I'm just looking at winning the job. They could say it's wide open. They could say it's not. I'm going to work the same way. I just planned on working hard. Right after the Fiesta Bowl, I knew Brandon was leaving, I felt like it was my opportunity, my job to step up and win it. Everyone who comes to a Division I program like this plans on starting. I knew if I kept working hard, learning the system, I'd have a chance some day. I just want to be given the opportunity to play. I just classify it as a job I want to win, and a job I think I can win."

It's beginning to look like a bad, really bad, year for anybody involved in the illicit trade of cigarette smuggling. According to a press release from the DOR, tobacco smugglers are now very much on the minds of state and federal law enforcement officials.
At stake here is much more than lost revenues, as smuggling and tax evasion undermine a whole economic system that is based on rule of law and a level playing field for everyone.
In all, 12 recommendations—from greater state and federal cooperation to beefing up enforcement to putting stiffer penalties in play—were published by the recently convened Commission on Illegal Tobacco.
From state legislators to Attorney General Coakley to wholesale cigarette distributors and convenience store owners, the news of putting smugglers on notice was more than welcomed. It's not too difficult to imagine countless other taxpayers who are interested in fairness, applauding along as well.
