There is nothing treasonous or unpatriotic about wanting a federal government that is more responsive to the people it represents. That is what our Revolutionary War was all about and today our own federal government is vastly overstepping its constitutional bounds with no signs of reform. At what point should the people dissolve the political bands which have connected them with an increasingly tyrannical and oppressive federal government? If people or states are not free to leave the United States as a last resort, can they really think of themselves as free?
If a people cannot secede from an oppressive government, they cannot truly be considered free.

Q: Can you talk about the overall health of your team. How many guys were sick? Can you talk about how some of them got nicked up today?
Q: How about how you came out of this game? It seems like quite a few guys got nicked up today.

Q: Iowa has enjoyed recent success against you. Does Iowa present any matchup problems?
Q: You always stress the importance of a kicking game. You had an onside kick, almost had a punt blocked, given up today and a long return? Are you disappointed in the play of the kicking game?

Tom Bradley, Defensive Coordinator
Q: Was the defense impacted at all by the flu?
Q: Before the game it looked like Jerome [Hayes] was kind of testing his leg out to see if he can play. Did you see that?

Q: How do you think the line will be against Big Ten caliber competition?
Q: How was Temple's pass rush affecting you guys?
Q: How was Temple's pass rush affecting you guys?A: It was what plays we called.

Q: On the offensive line...

Q: You had some drops, as the quarterback do you just have to shake that off?
Q: Does it take you out of your rhythm at all when Chester [Stewart] comes in?
Q. The tight ends really didn't have too much success this game; can you explain what happened with that?

WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross senior guard Alex Smith (Delran, N.J.) recorded a game-best 18 points to go along with six assists and three rebounds to help lead the Crusaders to a 69-46 triumph over Assumption in an exhibition contest on Sunday afternoon at the Hart Center. Holy Cross will begin the 2013-2014 regular season on Friday, Nov. 8, when it will host Dartmouth at 7:00 p.m.
In addition to Smith for the Crusaders, senior guard Brisje Malone (Springfield, Mass.) tallied 12 points and four rebounds in addition to a game-high seven assists. Junior forward Emily Parker (Johnston, Iowa) totaled 12 points and a team-best nine rebounds, while sophomore center Molly Hourigan (Memphis, N.Y.) registered nine points, five rebounds and three blocks. Kelly Conley led Assumption with 16 points, while Jamie Insel hauled in a game-high 11 boards.
The Crusaders jumped out to the early 7-2 advantage less than four minutes into the contest, but Assumption would rally to knot the score at 7-7 with 15:13 on the clock. The Greyhounds then took the lead less than a minute later to go on top 9-7, but a layup by Parker on the other end tied the game at 9-9 (14:22).
Holy Cross went on an 11-3 rally over the next 3:53 to gain the 20-12 lead, as Malone tallied five points during the run. Assumption cut the deficit to four points (20-16) with 10:05 left in the first half, but the Crusaders embarked on an 11-2 surge to gain the 31-18 lead with 5:38 left in the first half. The Crusaders kept the lead as it went into the locker room on top 35-23.
In the second half, Holy Cross jumped out on an 8-2 run to gain the 43-25 lead with 16:42 on the clock. The Greyhounds responded with a 6-1 rally to slice into the deficit and make the score 44-33 (13:49). Both teams went back-and-forth over the next 7:38, with the Crusaders still holding on to the 11-point advantage (52-41). Holy Cross scored seven straight points to make the score 59-41 with 5:22 left in regulation. The Crusaders ended the contest on a 10-5 run to claim the 69-46 victory.
Holy Cross shot 40.3 percent (25-of-62), and limited the Greyhounds to 16-of-60 shooting on the afternoon (26.7 percent). The Crusaders held advantages in points in the paint (28-18), points off turnovers (19-9) and assists (20-6).

Video:How to Remove a Tick on a Dogwith Dr. Ellie Shelburne
Want to learn how to easily remove a tick on a dog? Here, see helpful tips and tricks for removing a tick on your own.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Remove a Tick on a Dog
Hi! This is Dr. Ellie Shelburne for About.com, and today we're going to talk about how to remove ticks from dogs.
Instructions for Removing a Tick on a Dog
The first thing not to do is to try to kill the tick with alcohol or a match. What that ends up doing is causing distress in the tick, and they can release the bacterium like Lyme Disease, or Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and those bacterium will be released into the bloodstream much more readily if you try to kill the tick.The key is trying to remove the tick without squeezing the body part, by grasping it at the head, and gently but firmly removing it.
Utensils for Removing a Tick From a Dog
What we like to use are these little tick pulls, which are similar to crowbars, and you can use different sizes depending on the size of the tick. Basically, you poke it up through the head of the tick, and then gently twist and pull up until the tick is removed. We find that this does a nice job of removing the head of the tick.
Other Tips for Removing a Tick on a Dog
If you don't have a tick remover like this at home, the next best thing is to use a tweezer with a tiny little head. And with that very little tip, you want to grasp the head of the tick and pull back with a steady pull. If you're in a place where you don't have tweezers or tick pullers, you should not use your bare hands to remove a tick. That could release dangerous bacterium that you could be exposed to. So at least please use a piece of gauze or a tissue, around your fingers - and again, grasp your tick, and gently pull back - straight back - until it's out.Our preferred method of disposing of tick is to put them in a little jar of rubbing alcohol, and that will kill them and make sure they don't come back to haunt you at a later time.
Thanks for watching! To learn more, visit us on the web at About.com.

DANCE REVIEW; A Mystical View of God's Feminine Side
By JENNIFER DUNNING
Published: February 13, 2004
Elisa Monte established herself as a choreographer with a belief in the equality of the sexes from her first piece, which was a sensual 1979 duet called ''Treading'' that is now a modern-dance classic.
That equality is an unstated but strong element in three of the four dances presented by Elisa Monte Dance on Tuesday at the Joyce.
The fourth, Ms. Monte's new ''Shekhina,'' addresses female sexuality directly. Her inspiration was a recently published book, of the same name, with photographs by Leonard Nimoy that explore the female manifestation of God in the ancient Jewish texts of the cabala. But what poured out across the stage in ''Shekhina'' looked more like a 21st-century version of the billowy Doris Humphrey-Ruth St. Denis ''Soaring.''
Ms. Monte performed with Pilobolus after a career as a principal dancer with Martha Graham. Her dances tend toward a dramatic urgency that is very Grahamesque. Pilobolus takes over in ''Shekhina,'' a full-company piece in which gauzy fabric unspools from the wings to fill the stage with what looks like white light made three-dimensional. The fabric wraps around and unfolds to hide and reveal the dancers' bodies.
Those bodies angle into jagged shapes that draw the eye. There is exhilarating cross-stage travel. But the frequent lifting high of women, their bodies often spread-eagled, seems more Pilobolus than Monte and very undivine. The music has a strong Old World Jewish flavor in a score that includes traditional music and contemporary work by Frank London, Lorin Sklamberg and Shmerke Kaczerginski, some of it recorded by the Klezmatics. The religiosity of the music is like oil, though, to the water of this suite of pretty, imagistic dances.
The gauzy lighting and costumes, by Clifton Taylor and Karen Young respectively, do not help. Even Ms. Monte's impressive dancers -- Natalie Turner, Marden Ramos, Bafana Solomon Matea, Po-Chieh Chen, Nicole Corea, Jennifer Hardy, Fabrice Lamego and Rafeal Ferreras -- look less fiercely engaged than usual.
Ms. Monte seems not to have settled completely into her theme in ''Shekhina.'' The connection feels stronger in last year's ''Light Lies,'' which opened the program. There is a gutsier underpinning to the visual beauty of the piece, in which Ms. Monte and Mr. Taylor respond to the color theories of the Bauhaus painter Josef Albers.
Set to music by Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe, ''Light Lies'' sends its eight dancers moving through light that looks saturated with colors, which shift as subtly as the choreography juxtaposes continuous motion with moments of vibrant stillness. Ms. Monte's gift for making each moment count at least as much as the dancers' trajectory is evident in ''Light Lies'' and the program's two other dances.
Lyrical, heroic and filled with quiet dignity, the dancers are at their best in ''Light Lies'' and in ''Dextra Dei,'' a male quartet whose buried narrative suddenly pushes through at the end in a single harrowing image. Set to music by Tibor Szemzo with exquisitely nuanced dramatic lighting by Craig Miller, ''Dextra Dei'' was performed by Mr. Ferreras, Mr. Matea, Mr. Lamego and Mr. Ramos.
The program, one of two to be presented at the Joyce, also included ''Treading'' performed in an interestingly cool and distanced way by Ms. Turner and Mr. Ramos.
The company performs through Sunday night at the Joyce, 175 Eighth Avenue, at 19th Street, in Chelsea.

The word "acoustic" is derived from the Latin term for the ear canal. Acoustics is therefore the branch of science which studies sound. By derivation, "acoustic music" is that which is made naturally, without the use of electricity, electronics, etc. Think of it as any type of natural sound. It is essentially synonymous with the term "unplugged." Acoustic includes a broad range of musical genres, the common theme being that the music is played without amps, electronic keyboards, or any instrument which needs to be plugged into an electrical circuit.

I don't think ANY amount of compensation would be adequate for this man having nearly 30 years of his life stolen by shady prosecutors.
She is the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and let more than $22 Million dollars in homeland security grant money (Urban Area Security Initiative) go from New Orleans and Baton Rouge to Cleveland and Cinncinatti. When asked about it, she didn't have a clue what a UASI even was. She and her brother make a fine pair to be looking out for the welfare of the citizens of NOLA and BR. Time for her to go!
You hit it right on the head covvb0y!
NOLAKATZ - you can contact UNITY at 821-4496. They have an office over at 2475 Canal St. I have worked with them in the past and they are always looking for someone to help out.
Arnold can't stand to see anyone getting money he isn't able to manipulate to his advantage. I woud bet that if the NOFA spent $295K on the consultant, that consultant would have said to keep the NOFA around. What a waste of a potential property - all while Boettner and HRI rake in millions in "fees." It would serve the city right if they give the project to the political fat cats at ADD, that the Marine Corps walks away from the whole thing. Then I guess they could have it for the condos! See who would live there.
Having read through this entire document, which is full of absolutley nothing, I see why this idiot supports it. She hasn't seen the ball since kickoff and is out looking for a football bat!
What are you drinking?? Obama wants to cut nothing - particularly if it is all the "entitlements" going to his voting base. None of these politicians, Dems or Reps give a crap about anyone but themselves and how they are going to get reelected.
And right turn on red comes after a complete stop!
Harvey - you nailed it.
Cant' see where his comments were discriminatory. I think they were right on the mark for the place and time of the deployment of his officers. I don't think telling his officers to look for "young white men" during Essence Fest in the Quarter would have meant too much...
Landrieu is the Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security and New Orleans and Baton Rouge just lost their Urban Area Security Initiative funding to Cleveland and Cincinatti. This means several million dollars for critical infrastructure protection is lost to these two cities. Great job, bimbo. You are really on top of things. Waste your time on a fence that doesn't work while you turn your back on your own state.
Take all the welfare checks and send them to a work program to clear the blighted houses. You want your welfare check, you come in and work for it. You don't work; and cannot prove you have some physical reason for not doing so - no check. When you are working, you won't have time to get into trouble. The blight gets fixed at no more cost to the taxpayer, people get some self-respect back because they are actually doing something with their lives. Some folks might find out that working isn't so bad and look for a better job than waiting for the free handout every month a throw it away on drugs and whores!
Imagine the outcry from these folks it were the other way around - if the Archdiocese came in and told them coporal punishment was mandated in the school - "You want to beat us because we're black..."
Step up and teach them to play by the rules instead of crying. They are a Catholic School, they should play by the Cathlic School rules. If they don't want to be affiliated with the church, find someone else to fund them and play by their rules.
Suzanne - you must be smoking something if you call last Sunday's Metairie Road St Patty's Day perfect. I marched in the parade and half the time we could not even get our float to follow us as the greedy parade goers walked right through us to grab what they could and then stood there and begged and begged for more. The JP cops did nothing to keep them off the road or look out for their safety. They certainly weren't standing on the side of the road waiting for us to come to them. And I saw just as many roped off spots with trucks blaring their loud music as I did anywhere in NOLA.
Yes a-hole. I was. The reason so many in wheelchairs is because EMS let everyone that wated a wheelchair sit in one. Most of those folks didn't need chairs. After a call was made to Rainwater, more lift vehicles appeared. The state only alloted for 189 ADA compliant seats for all of New Orlean in their plan.
Anyone that doesn't think our "President" is a anti-American, racist has their head buried in the sand. Oh wait, only whites can be racist...and only white presidents can be depicted as apes on posters. Grow up and get a life.
Funkyfinger and balize hit it right on the head. If this guy would have done this here in NOLA, he'd be up on charges and the thieves would have walked. As a CCW holder, I shake my head when I hear about stuff like this. You never fire a warning shot!
Couldn't agree with you more Brom. This was not the time for this jerk to try to make a political statement. Hope he enjoys his time in jail and never being able to get a dime of his military pension he worked for.
Interesting that the white supremacist group "helped him kick a drug habit." Perhaps his poetry was rehabilitation therapy. Amazes me that a few years back you saw and heard all kinds of threats made about Bush and never heard anybody taken to court over it, much less jailed. Guess it all has to do with the "color" thing. Sad to say.

Greenville boasts "more published writers per capita" than any other town in the nation. Shelby Foote, historian, novelist and narrator/writer of PBS's widely acclaimed Civil War series was born here. Poet and biographer William Alexander Percy, novelists Walker Percy, Ellen Douglas and Beverly Lowry and PBS commentator Hodding Carter III also grew up here. William Faulkner was a frequent visitor (and occasional resident) when another Greenville author, Ben Wasson, served as the Nobel Prize winner's literary agent. Hodding Carter won the Pulitzer Prize as Editor of Greenville's Delta Democrat Times. Bern Keating is Greenville's most prolific penman with more than two dozen books and hundreds of articles in publications ranging from National Geographic to Playboy. The Percy Library Writers' Exhibit is open to the public and contain artifacts chronicling our rich literary heritage. You have read their great works, now see the places that inspired them.

The park was established by Alice Bell Garden Club in 1946 and features the first arboretum registered in Washington County. The courtyard with its raised landscaped bed is an esthetic, secluded respite with benches, birdhouses, and butterflies. The Greenville Writer's Garden features garden quotes from authors, such as William Alexander Percy, a premier writer of Greenville.
There is a treasure in Greenville that is a well-known secret. Well-known because it is in plain view in a public place. Enter the main gates of Greenville Cemetery and follow the road (narrow for a car but ample for a carriage). Look ahead, slightly to the right, beyond handsome weathered tombstones and assorted shrubs. In a moment your eyes stop at a tall bank of hollies, their dark greens framing a paler gray rectangle. Turn right, onto the road that runs before this place and realize a figure stands before the solid expanse. It is a man, greater than life-size; a knight in full armor, sword in hand. A bronze crusader whose journey is ended, standing sentry against stone finer than the crusty cast concrete pillars or sandblasted marble announcing finished lifetimes. Rays of the setting sun inscribed above his shoulders. At his feet, The River, expressed in undulating chiseled lines, timeless rippling wavelets. Walk behind the setting sun, past the bronze-capped graves, the moss-speckled obelisk sand crepe myrtles.
Look up at the granite stele and read the words a son chose for tribute
to his father:
They out-talked thee, hissed thee, tore thee? Better men fared thus before thee;
Fired their ringing shot and passed, Hotly charged – and sank at last.
Charge once more, then, and be dumb! Let the victors, when they come,
When the forts of folly fall, Find thy body by the wall!
Greenville's extraordinary literary tradition has shaped more writers than any town of its size in the country. In the 20th century, more than 100 published writers called Greenville home. The Writers' Exhibit houses original manuscripts and documents the accomplishments of Shelby Foote to Walker Percy.

Ask any regular member of a local health club and he or she will tell you that it's been a little crowded the past week.
The New Year's resolution fitness scene is in full swing in Charleston, and, if the calendar is any indication, will continue to be for the rest of the month.
Besides some fitness club's luring new members with free trials, by waiving initiation fees and offering extra months, the number of single day and multiweek training clinics has expanded in recent years.
Efficiency clinic
Wilson Coaching's Lauren Wilson, a USA Track & Field-certified coach and winner of last year's TryCharleston Half ironman-distance triathlon and the Kiawah Island Golf Resort Triathlon, will conduct a free running clinic at 10 a.m. Saturday at Hampton Park.
Wilson, the daughter of former hockey player and USA Olympic coach Ron Wilson, will outline the concept of "neuromuscular-based regeneration running," which is basically about developing efficiency and aerobic power through drills and intervals.
"Activities will include drills to develop better running mechanics, sample warm-up and cool-down drills, a 30-minute Interval run to improve VO2 Max ... as well as an intense PlyoSet!"
Wilson plans to have her father give a talk on athletic motivation on Feb. 1. The location will be determined soon.
Free outdoor workouts
Another free event at Hampton Park on Saturday is a weekly trainer-led group fitness program provided by Louie's Kids, a locally based nonprofit that works to fight childhood obesity.
The "Free Family Workouts" are primarily geared for children and their families in the program, but the public is welcome to join in the fun.
The workouts are led by a rotation of trainers with expertise in everything from CrossFit to boxing.
The workouts are 6-7:30 p.m. Thursdays at McMahon Playground in Hampton Park, 9-10:30 a.m. Saturdays next to the pond in Hampton Park, and 9-10:30 a.m. Saturdays at The Cathedral of Praise in North Charleston.
Summerville YMCA
The Summerville Family YMCA will hold a "Fun, Fitness and Free!" event on Saturday at its facilities in downtown Summerville and The Ponds subdivision. The Y will waive "joining fees" for new members, representing a savings of $40-$85.
Also, for those who missed the kickoff of the 10-week "Y in Training" this week. It's not too late. The training program is designed to prepare locals to run or walk the Y's Shamrock Shuffle, formerly known as the Flowertown Festival Run. The 10K and 5K will be March 15.
The cost is $65 for Y members and $90 for nonmembers.
Bridge run clinics
The "official" Cooper River Bridge Run Training Clinics start next week and go for 12 weeks. The Bridge Run will be April 5.
One clinic coached by long-time runner and coach Howie Schomer will be at 6 p.m. Tuesdays at the Medical University of South Carolina Wellness Center. The other will be coached by personal trainer Katie Blaylock at 6 p.m. Wednesdays at the Mount Pleasant Municipal Complex track.
The cost is $75.
Fleet Feet Mount Pleasant will hold clinics to prepare people to run or walk the Bridge Run.
On Jan. 28, the 10-week Bridge Run clinic will start. It meets at 6 p.m. Tuesdays and 8:30 a.m. Saturdays. The clinic is designed for those who are tackling the distance for the first time as well as those looking to improve their time. Cost is $60.
On Jan. 29, Fleet Feet starts its Walk FIT Bridge Run program. It is also a 10-week program that meets at the store at 10 a.m. or 6 p.m. Wednesdays and 8:30 a.m. Saturdays. Cost is $60.
Further on the horizon, Fleet Feet will kick off a half-marathon training group beginning Feb. 4 and another session of No Boundaries, which prepares basically sedentary people to run or walk a 5K, starting March 5.
Run/Walk to a 10K
Another alternative is the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission's eight-week "Run/Walk Your Way to a 10K" starts Jan. 27.
Two different clinics will be held. One will be conducted by Tyler Cross, 8:30-9:30 a.m. Mondays and Wednesdays at James Island County Park. The other will be run by Larsyn Runion, 5:45-6:45 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays at Palmetto Islands County Park.
Cost is $60 for county residents and $75 for non-residents.

text: WVU: RB Dreamius Smith's best runs of the 2013 season WVU: RB Dreamius Smith's best runs of the 2013 season Current Football Featured On Campus SHARE Chris Humphrey , May 20, 2014 / 861 0 AP Photo/Christopher Jackson The departure of a senior running back to the NFL would leave most college football programs searching through the depth chart for a replacement. At West Virginia, it's just a matter of who will stand out from the others in a deep running back position. If the post-spring depth chart holds any weight for this fall, senior running back Dreamius Smith will get the call to replace Charles Sims over sophomores Wendell Smallwood and Rushel Shell and juniors Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie. It remains to be seen if Smith will hold the starting running back role through the summer, but the playmaking ability in these five runs from his junior season could help him in the decision before the Alabama game on August 30. No. 5: vs. Iowa State, November 30 It was all going so good for West Virginia in the 2013 season finale against Iowa State, with a 17-point lead late in the third quarter and Smith just peeling off a 45-yard run to the Cyclones'11 yard line. And then, the fourth quarter and three overtime sessions were played after that. Smith's would be tackled for a four-yard loss in the final minute of regulation, his only action following the long run in the third quarter. No. 4: vs. Texas Tech, October 19 Smith's 38-yard touchdown run, along with a Josh Lambert 30-yard field goal, would knot the score 13-13 as West Virginia would enter halftime in Morgantown. Even with another Smith touchdown run later in the third quarter, West Virginia was unable to avoid their second straight loss and third in the previous four games in Big 12 play. The two Smith touchdown runs are the most allowed by Texas Tech to a West Virginia running back in three all-time meetings dating back to 1938. No. 3: vs. Maryland, September 21 Smith's run in the fourth quarter's final moments might be the only offensive highlight you need to see of West Virginia's 37-0 loss to Maryland last September. The shutout was the fifth for Maryland against West Virginia, and first since a similar 33-0 drubbing at College Park in 1999. Ford Childress would go on to fumble the football some four plays later to Maryland's Quinton Jefferson in a perfect example of West Virginia's luck in the game and throughout the greater part of last year. No. 2: vs. Georgia State, September 14 Smith put the icing on the cake with arguably the best run last year in the final minute of West Virginia's 41-7 victory of Georgia State, the only comfortably won game of the season. With only 36 seconds to go and looking to chew the remainder of the clock, Smith would get the handoff from quarterback Ford Childress, attempt to be tackled by the majority of the Georgia State interior defensive line before running up the score just one more touchdown in the blowout win. No. 1: at Oklahoma, September 7 With a little more than five minutes into the first quarter, Smith took quarterback Paul Millard's handoff, shook off three would-be Oklahoma tacklers and didn't stop running until he stepped into the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown. The longest run of Smith's career would give West Virginia a 7-0 lead, but after committing three fumbles and an interception through the game, the team couldn't add anything else in the 16-7 loss in Norman. __________________________________________________ Smith will have a chance to repeat runs like these and possibly more during the 2014 season. Some members of the Big 12 Conference will have some work to do bringing their defenses up to speed in time for this coming season like defending league champion Baylor, which lost 10 defensive starters from 2013. With similarities to the newest Tampa Bay Buccaneer running back, Smith could be the next to hear his name called at the 2015 NFL Draft following a successful senior campaign for West Virginia.

The Karen Buddhist Dhamma Dhutta Foundation (Incorporated) supports Karen Buddhist
people and Karen Christian people to follow their traditional religions
and culture.
About half of our members are Karen Buddhists and half Karen Christians.
We also have some Australian members. As Buddhists and Christians we
share values of loving-kindness, compassion, mutual respect and ethical
living. Because we share these values we have no problem working
together although we are different religions.
Most of our members have recently come to Australia as refugees from
refugee camps on the Thai-Burma border.
Bringing more refugees to come to live in Bendigo in Australia, and
supporting them after they arrive, is a major part of our work. To show
that we do not discriminate by religion it is our policy that half of
the refugees we sponsor are Buddhist and half are Christian.
We have started a campaign to lobby the
Australian government to bring more Karen refugees to Australia.
Many other Karen organisations say they help all Karen refugees, but we
are the only organisation that actually sponsors equal numbers of
Christian and Buddhist refugees.
We also hold traditional Buddhist festivals including Full Moon
Festival, Kathin (Robe-Offering to Monks) ceremony, and Shin Pyu
(ordination of children as novice monks and nuns), and participate in
other traditional Karen festivals.
In December 2010 we held our first Karen Christmas festival.
The Karen Buddhist Dhamma Dhutta Foundation has been involved in
interfaith initiatives including interfaith prayer services for peace in
Burma and interfaith dialogues.
In 2011 an icon of Mary and Jesus was donated to our monastery. The
icon was created by Brother Placid at Saint Mark's Benedictine Abbey in
Camperdown, Victoria, and blessed by the Very Reverend Peta Sherlock,
Dean of St Paul's Anglican Cathedral in Bendigo. The icon has its own
shrine in the monastery. Christians are as welcome in our monastery as
The Karen Buddhist Dhamma Dhutta Foundation is based in Bendigo,
Australia, and is a member of the Buddhist Council of Victoria (BCV).

Bought at local Gander Mtn store, and at a higher price, should have checked the web first. It's a great bag for keeping my scent gear isolated from the rest of my outdoor wear. The bag is good sized to get a full set of gear in one bag and caryy/move to the truck and into the field. I would use this bag for air travel if needed, it's heavy duty. I wish it had a pocket for adding a carbon strip or filter, but definately a great add for the serious hunter that invests in scent-free gear.

August 3, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate is trying again on student loans.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Monday scheduled a procedural vote for Wednesday on a bill restoring the interest rate on subsidized Stafford loans to 3.4 percent for one year. Interest rates doubled to 6.8 percent last week because Congress didn't avert a rate hike built into the law.
House Republicans have passed a bill that would link rates to the financial markets and keep rates low in coming years. Rates would increase if the economy improves.
Democrats opposed the GOP proposal but haven't found enough support to overcome Senate procedural hurdles. A previous attempt for a two-year extension failed to win enough support ahead of the July 1 deadline.
Congress can retroactively reduce interest rates. Few students sign loans before August.

Kogan was a violin virtuoso and one of the 20th century's most famous Soviet violinists. He ranked among the greatest representatives of the Soviet School of violin playing. Kogan was born in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, the son of a photographer who was an amateur violinist. After showing an early interest and ability for violin playing, his family moved to Moscow, where he was able to further his studies. From age ten he studied there with the noted violin pedagogue Abram Yampolsky. In 1934, Jascha Heifetz played concerts in Moscow. "I attended every one," Kogan later said, "and can remember until now every note he played. He was the ideal artist for me." When Kogan was 12, Jacques Thibaud was in Moscow and heard him play. The French virtuoso predicted a great future for Kogan. His official debut was in 1941, playing the Brahms Concerto with the Moscow Philharmonic in the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory.Kogan, a brilliant and compelling violinist, shunned publicity. He lacked too some of the warmth and stage charisma of David Oistrakh, his senior by 16 years. His career was always overshadowed by that of Oistrakh, who was strongly promoted by the Soviet authorities.Kogan was the only classical violinist of note who preferred to play on all steel strings (Thomastik brand). Most serious classical players prefer a steel E-string, and perhaps also steel A-string (as in case of David Oistrakh), while using gut or synthetics on the G and D strings. Steel gave Kogan more clarity and power, while sacrificing warmth, depth and sweetness associated with gut or synthetics.

Free enterprise includes allowing companies to fail. You sir are a socialist!
Interesting that to really make the U.S. energy independent, and ensure "national security", the very people who SHOULD be screaming loudest to get us off the oil teat are instead insisting we not only stay in it, but get further hooked on it. I laugh when I hear conservatives claim they fight for national security. Conservatives are not planning for the future. I guess with their regressive nature, that should be predictable. It just flies completely again the claim of "national security" and "energy independence." Yes, I know, there are no alternatives available to replace oil right now. So their solution is to stop trying to develop alternatives. Sink more money into drilling, use up all the resources we have left. THEN we can worry about sustaining yesterday's energy source. Brilliant thinking there!
Gerry, again, resources aren't reserves. Learn something.
I understand, Casey, but if we spend millions to get only a few people employed, we may just have to lose those few.
So you admit they need government help to survive, to do all of that stuff. Who you calling a socialist?
Lol, couldn't handle it, could you? Proof you can't teach everyone, no matter how much you pay.
My brother criticized Obama after Obama recommended proper tire inflation as one solution to some of America's energy problems. After I showed him on paper how much he could save a year on gas costs, he still criticized Obama...then he went out and inflated his tires. Doesn't matter what the President does, Republicans will still criticize it. Just the way the game is played.
LMAO econo!
sorry-- barrels, not gallons. 2.3 trillion barrels of Kool Aid.
Gerry needs to get himself an education. Start right here--learn what a subsidy is and its purpose, then learn the difference between "resources" and "reserves" because you my friend have sucked up 2.3 trillion gallons of Kool Aid. Of course, you could just choose to remain ignorant of these things.
catfish...faults can also trap fluids from migrating. In the GOM basin, this usually happens when a sand reservoir is juxtaposed against an impermeable shale formation across the fault. Many reservoirs are split into fault-blocks where this occurs--one reason why additional wells are needed to drain the traps. Sand against impermeable shale. Hmmmm, I wonder what would happen if we would fracture that sealing shale? Oh, btw, guess what rock-types are usually fracked?
Faults are at an issue at every depth. Faults can provide pathways for fluids to migrate 10's of thousands of feet. Casing and cementing only controls fluids within the borehole, NOT the fluids in a formation. As for your question about numerous wells, there are many reasons to drill more than one well in a reservoir. Many. What, Fox news doesn't tell you guys any of this stuff?
Good info? Mel6686 is freaking clueless. Yes, wells are cased and cemented, but the formation they're fracturing is not. And what happens to the fluids in that formation when they are released by fracturing? They migrate. And in which direction do fluids underground migrate? Up. How far can these fluids migrate? Thousands and thousands of feet; until they are either trapped again or reach a state of pressure equilibrium. Now, unless you geniuses are suggesting the oil companies are encassing the ENTIRE formation, you have absolutely NO WAY to ensure that formation fluids will not migrate. Oil companies have absolutely no way to control those fluids once they are provided pathways to flow.
Yeah, one more thing: what is one major pathway commonly used by fluids to migrate upwards? Faults. And what happens when you grease the rocks bound by that fault? I think even you morons can figure THAT out.
Wow, a conservative rag backing a conservative politician! News!!!!
Ok, exactly which regulation do you want the government to disregard? Be specific. Don't take the lazy way out and just say "regulations," show some guts and cite the specific regulation you want tossed out?
Up to the President to provide resources to expedite permitting? Clearly, this article was written by someone who doesn't have a clue. Almost immediately, the administration identified two things that would help: more staff and a longer approval process. Republicans said "NO" to both. Well there you go. You wanna whine about the process taking too long, first identify the real problems. Yes, I know, just too easy to blame it all on Obama.
You guys hear all the bitchin' they and their paid-for politicans do about those evil, new regulations? Well, there you go.
Whether he saw it coming or not, he should have seen it happening. That had to be absolutely the worst coaching job I've ever seen. They didn't make a single noticeable adjustment to a completely pathetic offense. 95 total yards and 5 first downs. That's the best they could do with the National Championship on the line. That's just inexcusable. On the other side of the field, Alabama did EVERYTHING to win.
When you hear oil executives mention "energy independence" I can't help but lmao. Know this: not a single O&G company has "energy independence for the United States" in their business model. You won't find those words in their mission statements, either. Oil companies are only concerned about one thing, one thing only--profits. They are in the business of exploiting natural resources for money. Dollars. Profits. That's it. The "energy independence" BS they love repeating is to get enough people out there to blindly support their efforts, and they'd love nothing more than to do business devoid of taxes and regulations. Profits. Profits. NOT independence for this country. Profits.
The government get chastised and sued if it stops drilling. The government gets chastised and sued if it allows drilling. Stand in line you bunch of morons.
Ok, good. Now what do you propose to do with drilling in areas where a spill cannot be controlled?

Recasting the benefits of good public transit as a civil rights issue
- What do commuters deserve? (Photo: flickr/ep_jhu)
To what extent is public transit a dimension of the civil rights debate?
Many people, after all, rely on public transportation to get to work, both here and all over the United States. They take buses, Metro trains, light rail, the MARC, and other options. Increasingly people dismiss the automobile and use Zipcar, Capital Bikeshare, and might be able to take advantage of other transit options like streetcars, if those ever do appear (the District hopes to debut the first functioning lines in mid-2013, last we've heard). In the D.C. metro area, nearly 200,000 households manage to get by without a car. Is a functioning, reliable public transit system not only wise for the reasons of reducing congestion and helping the environment but also simply a reflection of what people deserve?
At The Root, founder and CEO of PolicyLink Angela Glover Blackwell suggests that yes, a functioning, funded public transit system is a vital part of the civil rights debate and points to several cities around the country, from Detroit to Little Rock, that struggle with and seek to revitalize their transit options. She also identifies the way our Congress fumbles its way forward with the proper funding. What we need, according to Blackwell, is wisdom in our transit choices and funding.
Blackwell notes the following:
Equity advocates must demand wiser investment of transportation dollars. Policymakers must reduce the burden on millions of struggling families who rely on public transit that is available and affordable. Without urgent attention, this lack of transportation will continue to be a proxy for leaving whole communities out of the American mainstream.
Despite all of the political posturing hailing the environmental, economic and other merits of a cutting-edge network of public transit systems, the nation has fallen woefully short of advancing a sustainable, 21st-century transportation system for the future.
Is Blackwell right?
My instincts say yes, and I recall all the ways that transportation in the D.C. region is tied to jobs and where households are located.
"Investing in transit is not a nicety," Nat Bottigheimer, assistant general manager of planning and joint development at WMATA, told crowds at an October 19 Rail~Volution conference session. "There's a business case for it, there's a policy case for it." The Metro official underscored his perspective by explaining that if the transit agency's system hadn't been built in the mid-'70s, then there would have been more than a million more car trips over the past three and a half decades. We might have needed a second Beltway to support all the traffic.
Other panelists from that session noted how people often rely on public transit to get to their jobs — and how the jobs are often not as close to their households as they should be. Wise city planning will help bring employers closer to the people they employ. Aubrey Thagard of the Prince George's County Office of the County Executive spoke of the challenge in his corner of Maryland. The D.C. region has integrated these transit-oriented development principles in the past, and it's paid off. Consider the 2002 Smart Growth award that Arlington County won for its Rosslyn-Ballston Metro corridor. The Environmental Protection Agency observed the following at the time:
The transit successes and corresponding environmental performance are impressive. Metro ridership doubled in the corridor between 1991 and 2002. Nearly 50 percent of corridor residents use transit to commute. As of the end of 2001, the corridor has over 18.3 million square feet of office space, 3.4 million square feet of retail/commercial space, over 3,000 hotel rooms, and 22,500 residential units - with much more under construction. Creating this development at typical suburban densities could consume over 14 square miles of open space compared to the roughly two square mile Rosslyn-Ballston corridor.
To lack this balance and functioning public transit inevitably will leave some individuals behind in society and reduce the opportunities available. As WMATA struggles in its Metro Forward repairs, there are additional implications. We may have a train system but how much can commuters rely on it? There are delays every weekend, stations closed, and growing doubts from some individuals about whether the ride is worth the cost. One Bethesda resident told me at a Halloween party last night that she was beginning to give up completely after three years as a Metro rider — that the escalator problems and delays were directly contributing to her decision to just hop in her car when she could. Hopefully the results of Metro Forward and a continued dedication to transit-oriented development such as in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor will reverse decisions like that.
Public transit is directly tied to housing and jobs and the fabric of what allows success, in nowhere more apparent as in big cities. These successes and failures, as Blackwell makes the case, have far greater implications than just transportation. They speak to the core of how people of all incomes live and move forward and grow — and their importance is central to the civil rights and well-being of our broader American community.

Enterprises came under increased pressure from software audits last year, as vendors tried to weather the recession by claiming every last penny to which they were entitled, according to new research from analyst firm Forrester.The firm's latest report, Surviving a Software Licence Audit, warns sourcing and vendor managers against complacency, given the increasing number of audits by vendors and the "widening list of reasons for alleged non-compliance".Forrester argued that virtualisation, multiplexing, accidental use and external use of software can all cause problems for companies trying to comply with software asset management best practice, and that "vendor compliance teams can be dangerous if they get out of control"."Often, compliance teams overzealously pursue their own revenue targets outside of the main account team's control, oblivious to how the audit team's behaviour may be damaging the long-term relationship with that customer," the report warned.In order to mitigate the risks surrounding a software compliance audit, the report advised firms to respond immediately to any vendor correspondence, demonstrating their software asset management controls at the earliest opportunity and their "unwillingness to be pushed around".The report also advised enterprises to make sure they know who is responsible for ensuring compliance, and to seek expert advice if in doubt.

David Music Awards honors Christian musicians locally and abroad
CORPUS CHRISTI - If you've been a Christian for any length of time, you are probably familiar with the Dove Awards, the Christian world's musical equivalent of the Grammys.
But did you know there is a music award ceremony that honors Christian musicians in Corpus Christi?
It's called the David Music Awards — or DMAs, as I will refer to them — an annual event that recognizes select Christian musicians statewide for their achievements and faithfulness to God, along with one area pastor.
Now in its fourth year, this year's ceremony, which will take place on Friday at Holiday Inn Airport, is the spiritual brainchild of Pastors Felix and Diana Zavala of El Shaddai Church.
The Zavalas based the award, which is framed on a standing bluish-glass placard shaped liked the Star of David, on Psalm 66:4 that states all the earth shall worship God and sing praises to his name.
The award was named for David in the Bible, who became king over Israel and wrote many of the Psalms.
"David was a worshipper," Diana Zavala said. "He loved to worship God, and God told me to name the event for him."
About 50 area pastors are expected to attend the ceremony, which will feature musical performances from Alex Montez and Grammy Award nominee Lizza Lamb of Angleton; Marcos Barrientos of Kingsville; Javier Galvan of San Antonio; Ruben Luna of Oklahoma City, Okla.; and local Christian group and 2012 DMA nominee, the James Roots Band.
"I'm excited to be a nominee, it's humbling and awesome to be considered," said Roots, a worship leader at Corpus Christi Christian Fellowship. "It's an honor to play at this event because as musicians … it helps you to feel that someone really is listening and looking out for us."
The Zavalas prayerfully consider whom they decide to nominate, seeking out musicians who have had what they call a "Goliath experience," such as overcoming a sickness or tragedy.
This year's featured artists will play an array of music, including Tejano, Contemporary Christian and Gospel. The ceremony also will include a performance by the Hearts of Worship dance team of El Shaddai Church, and the blowing of shofars.
The Zavalas also are expecting people who come to the event to get saved and healed.
"It's not all about music," said Felix Zavala, who is anticipating a turnout of about 500. "We have a lot of testimonies. God does miraculous things. We've seen people healed and marriages restored through this event."
Admission to the ceremony is one child's backpack. All backpacks will be given away to families with elementary school-aged children during an upcoming carnival at El Shaddai Church. Backpack donations also will be accepted after the DMAs.
To be considered as a future DMA nominee, musicians may submit a video and testimony to the Zavalas via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Anybody can sing but we want people who are faithful and serving their church," Diana Zavala said.
