O'Reilly: Obama Could Face Impeachment If He Pardons Illegals
O'Reilly: Obama Could Face Impeachment If He Pardons Illegals

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly is warning that if President Barack Obama ever bypasses Congress and uses his pardon power to make millions of illegal aliens citizens, he could face serious calls for his impeachment.
"If President Obama were to sign an executive order giving illegal aliens amnesty, his career would be over and an impeachment movement would explode," O'Reilly said Friday night on his "Talking Points" segment during his top-rated Fox show.
At the same time, O'Reilly said he did not believe reports that the Obama administration would grant such a blanket amnesty.
Fox News, however, reported this week: "The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com."
Reports that the Obama administration is weighing ways to circumvent Congress have Republicans worried. On Monday, eight Republican senators sent the president a letter saying they are concerned that he will grant unilateral amnesty to America's illegal immigrant population if his efforts to overhaul current U.S. policy fails in Congress.
The letter called on Obama to abandon any attempt to "unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. Such a move would further erode the American public's confidence in the federal government and its commitment to securing the borders and enforcing the laws already on the books."

We've known for over a year that real financial reform wouldn't happen [2].
We knew that the proposed bill wouldn't do much [3].
We knew Congress was just pimping out [4] the American people, and partying at our expense.
But it is still disgusting to see Congressman Barney Frank, Senator Chris Dodd and the rest selling out the American dream [5].
Shahien Nasiripour writes [6]:
Bloomberg notes [7]:
Legislation to overhaul financial regulation [won't] fundamentally reshape Wall Street's biggest banks or prevent another crisis, analysts said.
The bottom line is that nothing has really changed … the government is continuing to strengthen the parasite and poison the real economy [8].
Congress is still continuing to pimp out the American people to Johns who have insatiable lusts[9].

Barack Obama's first words at G8 Summit- "You've got a lot of golf courses here, don't you?" The National Post reported:
When US President Barack Obama stepped off his helicopter in Huntsville on Friday, the first thing he said was, "You've got a lot of golf courses here, don't you?" Industry Minister Tony Clement told the National Post in an exclusive interview.
"I told him, 'We would really recommend and love it if you could come back here with Michelle and the kids at some point — we think you'd really love it here,'" Minister Clement said on the sidewalk of Huntsville's Main Street, in his home riding. "I think I've planted a seed in the President's mind."
Minister Clement said he personally welcomed each of the G8 leaders — with the exception of French President Nicolas Sarkozy — all of whom commented on the natural beauty of the region, which they observed during their airborne travels over cottage country.

Governor Jan Brewer has just released another video message where she, once again, speaks out against Obama's complete failure to secure the US borders and help Arizona control the massive illegal immigration invasion plaguing that state.
Governor Brewer takes on Obama's lies that "our border is as safe as it has ever been" and she challenges the President to do his constitutionally mandated job of securing our borders and protecting the citizens of Arizona and of the United States. (see full video and transcript on the site)

The Obama administration is set to propose a new system for authenticating people, organizations and infrastructure on the Web. The online authentication and identity management system would be targeted at the transactional level — for example, when someone logs into their banking website or completes an online e-commerce purchase.
Making such a system effective, however, will require creating an "identity ecosystem," backed by extensive public/private cooperation, said White House cybersecurity coordinator Howard Schmidt, delivering the opening keynote speech at the Symantec Government Symposium 2010 in Washington on Tuesday.

David Petraeus is the real Pope of counter-insurgency and if he decides that he needs more troops and more time and more resources in Afghanistan next year, who is going to be able to gainsay him? That's Thomas P. Barnett's shrewd assessment. Obama's pledge to start withdrawing troops in 2011 is now kaput… It really is Vietnam — along with the crazier and crazier rationales for continuing it. But it is now re-starting in earnest ten years in, dwarfing Vietnam in scope and longevity. One suspects there is simply no stopping this war machine, just as there is no stopping the entitlement and spending machine… now we have the real kool-aid drinker, Petraeus, who will refuse to concede the impossibility of success in Afghanistan just as he still retains the absurd notion that the surge in Iraq somehow worked in reconciling the sectarian divides that still prevent Iraq from having a working government… Obama will run for re-election with far more troops in Afghanistan than Bush ever had — and a war and occupation stretching for ever into the future, with no realistic chance of success. Make no mistake: this is an imperialism of self-defense… continuing this struggle will actually increase and multiply the terror threats we face — as it becomes once again a recruitment tool for Jihadists the world over… Maybe this is why you supported Obama — to see the folly of nation-building extended indefinitely to the least promising wastelands on earth, as the US heads toward late-imperial bankruptcy. It is not a betrayal as such. But it is, in my view, a huge and metastasizing mistake.

Recover Crashed Hard Drive
- Recovers files from hard drives having bad sectors by creating disk images
- Recovers data from re- partitioned or re- formatted drives
- Restores data lost due to partitioning errors easily
- Retrieves data from SD, XD and MMC Flash Memory Cards, FireWire drives, iPods etc.
Want to perform crashed hard drive data recovery?
We are aware that the hard drive is the most important component of a computer. If the hard drive of a system fails, the system can no longer be operated. Every hard drive crash leads to loss of important files and programs. But such a loss shouldn't trigger panic. And that's because it is possible to restore data lost from a crashed hard drive with the help of a hard drive data recovery tool. This tool can also recover data from external drives with utmost ease.
Testimonials and Reviews:
Reasons that lead to hard disc data inaccessibility:
The major causes for hard drive failure are as follows
- Virus invasion: Hard drive data is severely damaged when your system gets affected by a malicious virus or malware or spyware.
- Operating system malfunctioning: When the operating system gets corrupted it leads to hard drive crash and the data in the hard drive becomes inaccessible.
- Improper shutdown: When a system is shut down in an abrupt manner,it impacts the hard drive severely. This, at times, causes the hard drive to crash.
Some more reasons for loss of files from hard drive are deletion of important files from hard drive accidentally or intentionally, formatting the drives, deletion of files due to third party tools, etc. This crashed hard drive recovery tool can even find deleted files from hard drive and it successfully performs file recovery on formatted or re-formatted hard drive, deleted or missing hard disk partition just within couple of minutes.
The Windows hard disk recovery tool also restores data lost due to master boot record failure, cross linked files and software crash etc in few simple steps. This tool is capable of recovering data lost from deleted or formatted RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 partitions. The in-built algorithm of the tool is so powerful that it bypasses bad sectors while extracting information from the hard drive. Besides Windows, there is a separate tool available to recover crashed Mac hard drive that too in very quick span of time. In other words,it is compatible with FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, HFS, HFS+ file systems. Besides this, it also helps in recovery of data from other storage devices like memory card or flash drives.
Data restoration steps:
It is possible to recover data due to hard disk failure by following the steps mentioned below
- Step 1: Download the application and install it in your PC. Once installed, select the option "Recover Partitions / Drives". In the next screen, choose "Formatted / Re-formatted Recovery".
- Step 2: Select the logical drive from where you lost your file. Click on the "Next" tab to initiate the scanning and recovery process. Once the scanning is over, the retrieved files can be viewed using the "File Type View"/"Data View". In case, you are not satisfied with the results, you can use the "Smart Scan" option. This is an intense search operation based on advanced algorithms.
- Step 3: To save the recovered files you need to click on "Next", choose a location, and then click on "Save".

Show that for all n>2 and c=rational, and for all x xor y rational, then x and y are never rational.
Doing so will give a "simple" proof of Fermat's Last Theorem.

Last Saturday I went to see a production of Brief Encounter from my local theatre group (The Bishopstoke Players). This is one of my favourite films so I was interested to see how it would work on stage. And my neighbour Adrian was playing the part of an 'unruly soldier'.
Amateur dramatics have always been of interest to me as my mother directs brilliant shows for her own theatre group in Tipperary. I have always thought that they should have her picture in the dictionary beside the phrase 'iron fist in a velvet glove'. Last year I got the call that everyone who lives away from their family dreads, 'you'd better catch a flight today, Mammy isn't well'. My mother had become seriously ill and wasn't expected to make it. But through sheer determination and bloodymindedness she came through. Twelve months later she is working on a new show with her drama group. So my trip to the local hall had an element of homage to my mother and her love of theatre.
Now, would the concept of the tea break be as important in English amateur dramatics as it is in rural Ireland? Well, I am delighted to report that the tea break was one of the first matters to be addressed on arrival at the hall. This father and son team were front of house and after checking my ticket directed me to a 'waitress' who took my order so that all the teas and coffees would be ready for the interval. Such efficiency. And such lovely jackets.
Having been a raffle ticket seller from the age of four, I cast a professional ticket seller's eye over the raffle team. No disappointment here either. These courteous and kindly ladies took my proffered pound within seconds and issued me with a pink strip of tickets. The raffle prizes though did differ from an Irish show: Lambrini rather than whiskey, a handbag instead of the Tipperary leg of lamb and a copy of Michael Palin's Himalaya instead of the dreaded box of USA biscuits. Michael Palin, as we all know, is the nicest man in the world and was a fitting patron saint for the evening.
I sat with my school run buddies Dawn and Helen and they filled me in on past productions (most notably the tea break). At previous productions you were served tea in your seats! What magic is this? While pondering the tea efficiency again I took a look around at the rest of the audience. Most of them were older than me, all nicely dressed and the men wore check shirts. It was at this point that a lady patted me on the shoulder, apologised profusely and told me that I was wearing my jacket inside out.
And the play itself? I really enjoyed it: the look, the set design, the music, the many scene changes effortlessly conducted. The acting was superb (Doctor Andrew Harvey was fantastic). I am guessing that the woman I was sitting behind was his mother as she giggled helplessly at the kissing bits. What I really enjoyed the most was the actors in the smaller parts who were totally themselves, who were so at home on the stage. The wooing station master, the boring husband and the unruly soldiers. I suppose I enjoyed the soldiers that bit more because I knew one of them. And it was this transformation on the stage of people who you know from everyday life that reminded me so forcefully of all the plays my mother had directed. Her plays have all been drawn on people from the local community and the play takes on an extra layer when an audience sees the local farmer/teacher/shopkeeper change into a character that they can believe in.
My personal highlight however was the interval. As if by magic everyone stood up and queued patiently for the cups of tea and coffee that had been allocated at the beginning of the evening. That, I have to say, would not happen in Ireland. It was fabulous.

Texas lawmakers will get a briefing on the current status of Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor and disabled.
Experts on Monday will update a House Appropriation Subcommittee on the program that represents one of the largest segments of the state budget.
Last year lawmakers shorted the program by roughly $4.8 billion, hoping that Texas will get special waivers from the federal government. But that hasn't happened.
Officials with the Texas Department of Health and Human Services have predicted that lawmakers will need to come up with more than $10 billion to cover the current deficit and increases in the next budget.
That could create another crisis when lawmakers meet next year to draft the next two-year budget. Last year the Legislature cut $27 billion in state services.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 19, 2005 Adm. Michael Mullen told the Senate Armed Services Committee that if he is confirmed as the next chief of naval operations, he will fight for the sailors who are doing so much for freedom around the world.
Mullen, who would succeed Adm. Vern Clark, said he knows of "no higher honor" than to serve as a sailor in the U.S. Navy. Mullen currently commands U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Allied Joint Force Command Naples.
He said today's sailors are the best ever. He praised their talent, patriotism and courage and thanked their families for their sacrifices. He told the senators that there are more than 38,000 sailors deployed across the globe in places such as Afghanistan, Iraq and the Persian Gulf, and in support of East Asia nations hit hard by natural disaster. "And they are performing magnificently," he said.
He said the Navy faces three challenges in the years ahead. First and foremost, the Navy must preserve its current readiness. The service must be able to, "answer the bell for the president and this nation with exactly the right combat capability, for exactly the right cost today," he said.
Second, the service must invest in the force for the future. A challenge is to create a fleet properly sized and balanced, able to meet the uncertainty and dynamic security environment that awaits the United States.
"And third, underpinning everything else is the need to shape the Navy's uniform and civilian manpower system for the 21st century," he said. The service must "transform our assignment distribution and compensation system into one that is more reflective of, and quite frankly more responsive to, the men and women serving our Navy."
Mullen said his experiences in Naples helped him understand the dynamic changes being made in the world. "Fledgling new countries in the Balkans (are) taking democracy on the wing," he said. "West African nations (are) learning new ways to cooperate with each other. Old and new NATO allies (are) helping train Iraqi security forces.
"The face of the future is being drawn in colors and shapes and sizes we wouldn't have dreamed of just a few short years ago," he continued. "But the one constant, and what made the biggest impact on me, has been the need to create a safe and secure environment that allows democracy to flourish and in so doing, creates opportunities for millions of families to live better, safer, freer lives."
The Navy helps provide that security. "We take the power and the will and the commitment of this nation wherever we go," he said. "And we can go on short notice. We can stand watch over large areas of the globe, exert influence from near or far. We can be where the nation needs us, when it needs us to be there."

Not-Such-a-Saint Bernard
Bernard Berenson: A Life in the Picture Trade
By Rachel Cohen
Yale University Press, 328 pages
Among the rich and powerful, it is common knowledge that if you have amassed a vast fortune, using perhaps not the daintiest of methods, a hefty dose of art will work wonders for your image. American tycoons in the Gilded Age were quick to realize the benefits of Picture Power. Initially, the taste favored portraits of bewigged British aristocrats, discreetly suggesting some illustrious connection to the Old Country, then shifted to soothing 19th-century French landscapes of the Barbizon school. The third, more sophisticated craze was for Renaissance paintings, with emissaries criss-crossing Italy in search of delicate artworks to bolster their employers' claim to be men of taste and refinement.
In the fierce competition to secure old masters, Bernard Berenson was a key figure. As the acknowledged oracle on Italian paintings, Berenson helped build Isabella Stuart Gardner's collection in Boston, and for 25 years he worked for the dealer Joseph Duween, art supplier in chief to moguls such as Morgan, Mellon, Rockefeller, and Frick. But with its inherent risk of a conflict of interest, scholarship and trade made for an uneasy combination. In her new biography, Rachel Cohen portrays Bernard Berenson as a tragic figure, "his reputation among collectors always trembling between light and shadow."
The son of Jewish immigrants from Lithuania—his father was a tin peddler—Berenson possessed an intellect prodigious enough to get him into Harvard. But as being Jewish at this point was not a clever career move, he reinvented himself, becoming first an Episcopalian, later a Catholic. He became fascinated by Italian Renaissance art, examples of which were almost non-existent in America. For Isabella Stewart Gardner, who financed his first trip to Europe, he secured Titian's The Rape of Europa and the first Botticelli in America, The Tragedy of Lucretia.
Attributing Renaissance paintings is tricky: As Cohen notes, they are often unsigned, and can involve several hands with apprentices doing the groundwork and the master adding the final touches. Due to their age, they tend to be heavily restored and, of course, the Italians are expert forgers. With aids such as infrared photography far in the future, the pre-high-tech connoisseur depended almost exclusively on his eye.
Berenson brought to the task an acute feel for the artist's personality—he described the work of Giorgione as "the perfect reflex of the Renaissance at its height," with "the lovely landscape…the effects of light and color, and…the sweetness of human relations"—and a technical knowledge of the artist's "fingerprint," revealed in lesser details such as drapery, hands, and feet, details artists frequently had their own shortcuts for rendering.
The innocent delight in the authentication process was captured by Berenson's wife, Mary: "We used to wonder if Adam had half as much pleasure from naming the animals as we from naming the ancient paintings." Berenson was stringent: While other scholars surmised Titian had painted 1,000 works, Cohen notes, Berenson slashed the figure to 133. His scholarship resulted in four books on Italian painters and one on Florentine drawings.
But Berenson also had a craving for luxury. While working for Gardner, he had engaged in dubious practices, pretending to have bought directly from private sellers when in reality he had obtained works though Italian dealers from whom he also pocketed a commission. Posing as a gentleman scholar of independent means, Berenson held court at I Tatti, his Tuscan villa, where the intrigue and sexual shenanigans led to comparisons with the court of the Medici.
The connection to Joseph Duween made it all possible, but theirs was an uneasy partnership. Duween was "court jester to millionaires" and a great salesman, and Cohen quotes Mellon's quip that paintings never looked as beguiling as when Duween was standing in front of them. Worse, Duween would tart up paintings: If an aristocratic lady in a British portrait looked a tad old, he was perfectly capable of ordering his restorers to make her look younger.
Berenson's cut was 25 percent of the profit on sales he had certified. The arrangement was kept secret for mutual benefit: Berenson had no wish to be seen as Duween's creature, while Duween would tell his clients that his paintings had been independently verified by the leading expert in the field. Now on the seller's side of the fence, Berenson was relentlessly being pressured by Duween to upgrade paintings.
Another Berenson biographer, Meryle Secrest, has described how he promoted Portrait of a Man from being an early Polidori Lanzani to a Giorgione, the rarest of the lot, and how, having previously described the painting as being in "deplorably bad preservation," he suddenly hailed it as being in "a miraculously fine state." Kenneth Clark, who worked with Berenson at I Tatti as a young art scholar, famously described him as sitting "on the pinnacle of a mountain of corruption," which was, perhaps, payback for Berenson's calling some of Clark's acquisitions for the National Gallery "four pretty nothings made by a talented furniture painter."
Cohen strikes a careful balance in judging her man. By focusing too narrowly on the financial side one is apt to forget that for all their faults, Berenson and Duween were behind the acquisition of most of the great Italian Renaissance paintings found in America. And while Berenson did make some dubious upgrades, and while he certainly would praise extravagantly (he once characterized a miserable Mellon acquisition as the hottest thing "since the builders of the Pyramids and the sculptors of the Chefrens"), the Duween archives prove that he mostly held firm against Duween's relentless demands for upgrades, as in this two-word telegram: "NOT VERONESE."
Berenson's greatest achievements were his lists of attributions, which, in the words of art historian Roberto Longhi, provided "the railroad timetable of Italian art." Here Cohen quotes Robert Hughes: "No student of Renaissance art today can do more than imagine the obstacles that lay in Berenson's path of connoisseurship. In the age of art history, they have vanished, but their disappearance was very largely Berenson's doing." Eighty percent of his attributions still hold, a record that speaks for itself.

Willamette Falls to Whitman in Swimming
Parkinson Wins Women's 1,650-yard Freestyle
SALEM, ORE. -- Whitman College remained undefeated in the Northwest Conference in men's and women's swimming as the Missionaries defeated Willamette University on Saturday, Jan. 14 at the WU Natatorium. Whitman's men earned a 122-60 victory. The Missionaries took first place in the women's competition, 116-73.
The Whitman men's team moved to 6-0 overall, 4-0 in the NWC, while the women's team upped its record to 5-1, 4-0 in the NWC.
The Bearcat women's squad fell to 2-4 overall, 0-4 in the NWC. Willamette's men went to 0-5 overall, 0-4 in the conference.
Willamette's Erin Parkinson (So., Everson, WA/Ferndale HS) won the women's 1,650-yard freestyle with a time of 19:08.61. She claimed first place by 19.49 seconds. Charlotte Graham of Whitman placed second in 19:28.10.
Parkinson missed winning a second event when she placed second by just 0.23 seconds in the 100-yard breaststroke. Claire Collins won the event for the Missionaries in 1:13.92, while Parkinson was timed at 1:14.15. The win by Collins was not included in the team scoring since Whitman swam exhibition in the breaststroke. Parkinson took third in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 58.97 seconds.
Kersey Bars (Fr., Springfield, OR/Springfield HS) and Kayla Kosaki (Jr., Hilo, HI/Waiakea HS) also registered second place results for the Bearcat women's team. Bars was second in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:13.96. Mel Notari of Whitman won the 200 in 2:09.33. Summer Elias (Fr., Elko, NV/Elko HS) of WU placed third in 2:18.49.
Kosaki earned second place in the 100-yard backstroke. Her time was 1:09.43. The winner of the 100 backstroke was Keller Hawkins of Whitman in 1:04.97.
Willamette was second in both of the women's relays. The 200-yard freestyle relay was the closest of the relay races. Whitman won the event in 1:45.23. Willamette followed at 1:49.99, as Lauren Ballinger (Jr., Wenatchee, WA/Wenatchee HS) made up ground on the anchor leg to outdistance Whitman's "B" team, which finished third in 1:50.55. Whitman competed exhibition in the event.
Swimmers winning two events for the Whitman women's squad were Helen Jenne and Ashley Jay. Jenne was victorious in the 50-yard freestyle in 26.03 seconds and in the 100-yard freestyle in 56.13 seconds. Jay won the 400-yard individual medley by completing the race in 5:03.24 and took first place in the 500-yard freestyle in 5:30.31.
Freshmen Zander Le Bel (Dallas, TX/Richardson HS) and Sean Piper (Normandy Park, WA/John F. Kennedy HS) of Willamette each took second place in two events for the Bearcat men's team.
Le Bel was second in the 1,650-yard freestyle with a result of 18:50.05. First place went to Galen Sollom-Brotherton of the Missionaries, who recorded a time of 17:35.90. Le Bel also was second in the 500-yard freestyle, as he logged a time of 5:27.13 to trail only Chris Bendix of Whitman, who won the race in 5:04.87. Ian McGahan (Jr., Tacoma, WA/Stadium HS) of WU was third in the 500 to give the Bearcats a 2-3 finish.
Piper achieved second in the 400-yard individual medley and the 100-yard backstroke. In the 400 I.M., Bendix was first in 4:29.38, with Piper finishing next in 4:34.14. In the 100 backstroke, Kevin O'Leary of Whitman won the race with a time of 56.53 seconds, while Piper finished in 57.25 seconds.
The Bearcats took second place in the 200-yard medley relay and the 200-yard freestyle relay. In the medley relay, Whitman clocked in at 1:41.41 and Willamette was timed at 1:51.25. The Missionaries won the 200 free relay in 1:30.79, while the Bearcats concluded the race in 1:37.64. Whitman competed exhibition in the free relay.
Whitman received two wins apiece from Bendix and Karl Mering on the men's team. Bendix prevailed in the 400-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle. Mering placed first in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:44.83 and was first in the 100-yard freestyle in 47.85 seconds.
Willamette's next meet is set for Friday, Jan. 20 at the WU Natatorium against NWC rival Pacific University. The action is scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. (PST).

It's been said that when you're not looking, you'll find someone. This is sorta true. You should be open to finding someone, but don't overwhelm yourself with needing to be coupled otherwise you'll become desperate. That desperation has a scent and it usually tells the opposite sex to run away!
What does a hobby have to do with finding a date? When you feel fulfilled in other areas of your life, you not only seem more desirable, but you're not being led by feelings of loneliness and you can make smart decisions when finding a mate. When some people feel lonely they may date just about anybody so not to be alone. By comparison, when a person doesn't need someone to complete them, they can find someone who compliments them.

02/13/2014 – The men's basketball team scored a special victory on "Senior Night" in front of the AQ faithful that filled the Sturrus Sports & Fitness Center. The win improved the Saints record to 10-9 in the WHAC and to 13-14 on the season, while the Blue Devils of Lawrence Tech fell to 5-22 overall and to 3-16 in league play. Aquinas currently finds themselves tied with Indiana Tech for fifth place in the league standings.
The night started with the Aquinas community honoring six individuals for their time and commitment to the men's basketball program. Jason Gust, Jon Hornak, Kolin Kazen, Brett Pfahler, Pete Sabiti and Austin Semple all etched their names in basketball history as they took to the home court for one last time. The fans were treated to a moving moment when Jon Hornak made a surprise start. The senior from Muskegon suited up for one final time and kissed the center circle as the crowd smiled and cried all at the same moment.
Their also was a game that was played between the Saints and Lawrence Tech. The Blue Devils, who are coached by former Aquinas assistant coach Tom Kempf, came into the game looking to play spoiler amongst the festive atmosphere. The Saints were to have none of that as they scored 27 of the games first 34 points. Aquinas hit 60% of their first half field goals compared to 26% by the Blue Devils. The Saints carried a twenty point lead (38-18) into the halftime locker room.
The Saints would build the lead to as many as 29 during the second half on a few occasions before finishing off the Devils 78-49. The Saints hit 63% of their second half shots to finish at 32-52 (61.5%) on the night. Austin Semple's 18 point and six rebound night led the Saints attack, while Kolin Kazen chipped in with 14 points and six boards. Jake Bullock orchestrated the offense to the tune of ten points and three assists.
The Saints will hit the road for their final three regular season games. Aquinas will travel to Livonia on Saturday to hook up with the Crusaders of Madonna (18-9, 14-5 WHAC) in a pivotal WHAC showdown.

No direct contacts are made between HincII and the Y3 base of the recognition sequence, G1T2Y3R4A5C6, and residue Asn 141 is the only side chain of HincII to make a direct contact to R4. As seen below from the structure of wild type HincII bound to GTCGAC, the NH2 moiety (blue) of Asn 141 hydrogen bonds to the N7 of G4, which can be formed with either purine, A or G. This residue was mutated to alanine and the resulting N141A HincII analyzed. While the DNA cleavage rate and DNA binding affinity were greatly reduced as a result of the mutation, the specificity was completely wild type, showing cleavage only at GTYRAC sequences. This indicates that some other means besides the direct contact by N141 is used by HincII to recognize the center YR sequence in GTYRAC.
Cleavage of plasmid DNA bearing 14 GTNNAC sites, but only 3 GTYRAC sites:
The structure of N141A HincII bound to GTCGAC shows the same distortion at the center YR step as that induced by wild type HincII. It also unexpectedly shows a loss of DNA intercalation by Gln 138, and loss of direct contacts to the outer G1C6 base pair bases.
One subunit in the N141A HincII dimer rotates as rigid body by about 11 degrees relative to the other, opening up the DNA binding site. The loss of two hydrogen bonds from residue 141 to the DNA likely weakens the contacts sufficiently to stabilize this conformation, which may normally occur in the wild type HincII en route to the final recognition complex.2.

Share your experiences with the The Glow Run 5k Dallas below Back to event details page.
My first negative review online. The run in itself was good as it was at a good location and the idea behind the run is really cool. But at the end of the day it is still a run therefore being timed is a big thing. The accuracy of the time is a big thing as many people run many events and try to do better to beat their previous time. The race only set up 1 "check station" therefore things got all messed up and there were MANY people that either didn't have a time or their time was incorrect. You can even check their facebook for the dissatisfied people. I wonder if the admins ever even addressed these issues as I think they just got buried under all the other happy posts. Did the Rave Run the week before and I had my time before I even had time to cool down. I've been in contact with Gerryl Krilic on numerous calls about getting the correct time for my run, but was given the run around or false promises then finally just totally ignored. I openly, yet politely, said that if they were unable to procure the correct time then just let me know so I don't hold onto that hope. Gerryl got busy with life and did not respond to voicemails and text messages (although she did reply back once since she thought i was just a random contestant asking about my time, then ignored when I said who I was). It is a race....How can you do such a large event and not time it properly.....

Harry Potter marathon attracts loyal fans to Vero Beach's Majestic II
VERO BEACH — Some people brought blankets and some brought pillows. Only a few brought snacks, but all made plans to imbibe large amounts of caffeine for the long day ahead of them.
Vero Beach's Majestic 11 movie theater looked a little like Platform 9 3/4 early Thursday morning, as loyal Hogwarts fans gathered in anticipation of the 24-hour Harry Potter movie marathon. With a ticket price of $25, the marathon featured all seven Potter movies played in succession, starting at 3 a.m. and leading up to a midnight showing of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2".
By 2:30 a.m., 50 fans stood outside the theater, itching to get seated. Alex Versicella, 13, was especially jumpy.
"I drank at least a 12-pack of Coke," said the red-headed Slytherin fan. "That's why I'm shaking."
Marian Corfutt, who drove Alex to the theater from Port St. Lucie, said she is a huge fan of the red-headed Weasley family, and she arrived at the theater an hour early to get the perfect seats.
"We left at 12, and we got lost twice," she said. "But we'll be here all day until the new movie."
Cassie Dyal, 22, and Tamara Cavas, 21, drove 2 1/2 hours northeast from Arcadia for the marathon.
"I knew I had to do this," Dyal said. "I searched online for a 24-hour marathon, and this was the closest."
Cavas said she and Dyal decided to travel from DeSoto County to Vero Beach late Tuesday night, which didn't leave Cavas much time to prepare.
"She's the Red Bull queen, so she'll be OK," Cavas said of her friend. "I've been up since 9 a.m., so I'm not so sure how I'll do."
By 2:15 a.m., Gwen Lamothe already was planning a Starbucks run for her family. Lamothe said she bought 10 tickets for her children and planned to meet two nephews and four friends for the marathon.
"When every new movie comes out, we go to the midnight premiere and we reread all the books before," she said. "We're ready."
Jordanne Lamothe, 16, has read all of the Potter books countless times. She can recite from memory the first page of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."
Starting with the phrase "Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive," Jordanne recited the entire first page, taking time to note where the reader would need to turn to the second page. While reciting, Jordanne noticed a friend walking up to the theater, so she waved, not missing a beat.
Victoria Brennan, 20, and Leigh Wilson, 16, of Vero Beach, have been Potter fanatics since before the movies were made.
"When the books first came out, my mom wouldn't let me read them because she knew I would become obsessed with them," Brennan said.
Brennan said the pair planned long in advance for the marathon, even watching the movies at home.
"We took cat naps, drank a lot of coffee and stopped for Slurpees and doughnuts," she said. "We're going to crash."

Dorchester Town late revival not enough to deny Basingstoke Town three points at The Camrose
Posted: February 18, 2013|
Neil Martin's injury time effort came within a whisker of rescuing a point for Dorchester Town against Basingstoke Town at The Camrose.
The Magpies went into Saturday's game on the back of two straight wins, but the hosts took a two-goal lead into the closing stages.
However, new singing Kieffer Moore halved the deficit with five minutes remaining and Martin's late effort could only find the crossbar as Dorchester dropped to 13th in the Blue Square South.
Dorchester held their own during the first period, but the hosts took the lead early in the first half when Manny Williams scored five minutes after the restart.

The Magpies searched for a way back into the game, but it looked bleak when Matt Warner doubled the home side's lead with seven minutes left on the clock.
However two minutes later, Moore scored his first goal for the Dorset die to give them hope of a late comeback.
Intense pressure from Dorchester nearly found an equaliser as Martin's effort rocketed back off the crossbar - but there was no time for the Magpies to rescue a point.
Dorchester face Truro City tomorrow night as they look to get back to winning ways.

Pictured: Portable Folding Tall Chair, I created this chair from Alder as I've found Alder being a hard wood is very light and when toting things I like them light, it is finished in a single coat of Tung Oil and 2 coats of exterior Varnish. This chair will be a great asset for me during my shows.
Build: With my start of doing shows at market events and with my research, I found that a tall chair was recommend so as to put you in eye-to-eye contact with customers as they enter into your booth and these chairs aren't easy to come by, thus my search here on LJ's I discovered gfadvm, which has been so kind to us all had a cut list on this very chair, so with that, I took pencil to paper and made notes of the cut list also along with several PM's to Andy and even a phone call :) even though I had made notes to the exact, I still found myself making many…. trips back and forth from the shop to the house as I needed to compare my construction with what Andy had pictured on the computer to make sure I was doing it right, Andy did an excellent job on the cut list and posting.
Though not perfect as there are mistakes, One thing that I missed was the head board, I over looked how Andy had it mounted and I didn't allow quite enough clearances between woods on the folding as she's a bit tight but I think over time it will loosen up.
Edit In Here is the blog to Andy's chair, parts and cut list.
Thanks for viewing and comments are always enjoyed.

Nice looking chair Randy! My hat's off to you and Andy! This should make your shows more comfortable and I agree about making eye-to-eye contact with customers. Great job! I like how it folds up so you can store easily.

Randy…You did a real nice job building your chair. One thought…cumfortable seat cushion for it…
It really does makie a difference having a tall directors chair for the shows. The very first show I did was using a regular sized folding chair and I immediately knew I was sitting too low and needed some extra padding for my rear.
The next day I ordered 2 folding directors chairs ( had to have 2 so my wife and I wouldn't play musical chairs) and it was much better… both on an eye-to-eye level and easier on my feet for being in the tent for 2 or more days.

That looks just like it's supposed to! 2 comments: turn those carriage bolts around where the front legs and arms meet so you have the smooth side towards you. And you dadoed the foot rest but not the back brace between the legs. Are you happy with the comfortable aspect? I've never felt like I needed a cushion for the seat. Oh, I don't see any catches for the dowel/rear leg. That could cause problems!

Andy, I saw the catches on the cut list but wasn't real sure what they were for and if I needed them, what exactly do they do and how are they mounted?
Was I supposed to dadoed the rear too? looking at your pictures the rear wasn't dadoed.
Carriage bolts flipped, well now that makes since :)
Very happy, I curved the rear of the seat up just a bit, not real sure if that makes any difference .

Cool job. I like it.

Randy, I dado the front and back now as it eliminates almost all the side to side wobble. Those catches pivot on a single screw to keep the dowel from coming out of the half hole it seats in. If it comes out while you are sitting in the chair, bad things can happen! (the chair will fold up with you in it). I edited that project post after I changed the brace attachments so only the last pic shows the new design. Sorry for any confusion this caused.

Ah OK Andy I can see how you have the catches mounted and function now, I did however deepen the holes with a 1 1/8" sanding drum on my spindle sander so they shouldn't come out but yes I agree the added protection would be good, I'll add them and make the other changes you pointed out as well, only I think I'm going to leave the smooth side of the carriage bolts on the outside, I chopped the bolt ends off with a dremel cutoff wheel so they wouldn't be in the way of sitting.
Thanks :)

I think that it is great to have a woodworker sitting in his own handiwork at a show. You may want to run up another one in case someone wants to buy one at a show. You could probably even made 2 in the same amount of time. Once the set up is done. . .

Nice job Randy and thanks for sharing the plans (Andy). I love the idea of it folding – it would work well for the trips I take with my son to Port Aransas, beach camping! Another to-do project for me.

The cover of Almanac bears a slight resemblance to the sleeve of Fleetwood Mac's iconic Rumours: both feature a man and a woman, the former clad in a vest, gazing down at the latter whose arched body is engulfed in a long dress. But it was more 1979's Tusk that Widowspeak producer Kevin McMahon (Swans, Real Estate) aimed to pull from for this Brooklyn duo's sophomore effort.
Those sounds of Fleetwood Mac flair on the "Rhiannon"-esque "Dyed in the Wool"; on Robert Earl Thomas' formerly hazy and subdued guitar wails on what he calls "the most straight-forward rock song on the album," "The Dark Age"; and in Molly Hamilton's croon (often likened to the sound of Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval), which consistently demands more attention here than on 2011's self-titled release.
All of these pieces plait most successfully on "The Ballad of the Golden Hour", which layers sonic sounds on top of what starts out as simply Hamilton and an acoustic guitar. The song centers on nostalgia and the passage of time, and the frontwoman sounds at her most vulnerable as she repeatedly croons "It's all slowing down." This tone is set from the get-go, as album-opener "Perennials" offers the melancholy sentiment, "Nothing lasts long enough."
"Sore Eyes", the only track that could have come from previous albums Widowspeak or The October Tape, halts the record some, but the rest of Almanc's 12 tracks dabble with Americana, the sounds of the '70s, and the band's already-established dreamy haze, resulting in a record that satisfies with each homage.

Note below picture says Nick Fairly was suspended by South Carolina. Perhaps they should have done that before they played Auburn last year.
The headline reads the final four that "nobody" saw coming. Then the article says two entries on ESPN contest got this final four correct. If I had picked this Final Four correctly I would not be pleased to be refered to as "nobody"!

1)) How did the way you were treated at a concession stand cause you to lose respect for Auburn as a football team? I don't see a connection of the two.
2) How was it possible"little brother" Auburn was heavily favored over Alabama in 1997?
3) What role did the fact that Auburn beat Alabama (18-17) in 1997 for the fourth consecutive game in Jordan-Hare affect your memory of the trip?
Corrected spelling..received
The headline says no payment has been receiced. The second paragraph says $126,000 dollars has been paid.
Bo is a man who lives the Auburn creed.
Was stimulus money used to fund this? If so, how many jobs were generated or saved?
Perhaps the quality of this article is shown by the reference to year 2001 under the picture.
I'm hearing comparisons of SEC football to professional wrestling. This is not good no matter who is involved in the 'wrestling match".
I thought ESPN's AFLAC trivia question was interesting. "When was the last time the same conference had three of the four top ranted football teams?"
Their answer was 1961. Actually it was two weeks ago when Florida was #1, Bama #3 and Mississippi was #4.
Perhaps he was shot by Patrick Garrett
Perhaps he should use the "My wife was not sick when I comitted these crimes" defense.
Turner is 34 years old and comitted rape and murder in 1974?

The physical effects of underground water
(From: The 500-Year Old Mystery of Dowsing by Christopher Bird)
In 1975 Herbert Douglas visited the home of a twelve-year old girl with a double curvature of the spine. Arriving at his destination, he took out a plastic dowsing rod and went over every room in a two-story house, being particularly careful to check the area around and under the bed where the girl had been sleeping since early childhood.
Douglas found that an unusually high number of water veins flow beneath the house. There were no less than thirty-five intersections of veins under the afflicted child's bed. He immediately suggested to the distraught parents that the bed be moved to a part of the house where no veins would run under it.
For the next ten days the child told her parents that the chronic pain in her spine was increasing. Then the pain suddenly began to diminish, to the befuddlement of the girl's doctor who noticed, during a visit to fit her for a full body brace, that the curvature had noticeably decreased. Several months later Douglas received a letter from the child's mother stating that her daughter no longer was suffering any pain at all and that the curvature had diminished sufficiently to obviate any necessity for the brace.
The notion that the onset of disease might be linked to telluric emanations came to Douglas as it was a persistent theme in observations by English authors. Before World War II, W. M. Trinder made the following statement in his book, Dowsing: "There seems to be very little doubt that rays given off by subterranean water are, if continuous contact is maintained with them, definitely harmful to both human beings and plants. I have known instances of people suffering from nerves and also cases of rheumatism. In all these cases the sufferers were spending a large part of every twenty-four hours right over a subterranean stream and this was slowly having the most deleterious effect on their health."
Marguerite Maury echoed Trinder when in her own book, How to Dowse, she said: "Whatever may be the cause of telluric emissions - sheets of water, subterranean streams or dry faults - the effects produced on the health of animals and human beings is nearly always harmful. If there are several streams superimposed, the emission at the surface will be particularly bad."
According to Douglas the French dowsing expert, Abbe Mermet, also insisted that water veins could produce ill effects on human health. He wrote that radiations associated with these veins were "…transmitted from floor to floor in any house situated above them. One may be exposed to them in a workshop, a factory, an office, as well as in the flat on the tenth floor of a building. It is in a bedroom that their presence is the most harmful, for in such a case the affected individual is not only subjected to the bad effects of such radiations but is also deprived of sound and regenerating sleep. Impaired health results in consequence, and the affected person suffers from various ailments which neither he nor the doctor can account for."
Wondering whether there was any substance to the idea, Douglas began checking the beds of people who complained of arthritis to find that his rod always detected veins of water beneath them and, more significantly, that two or more veins crossed directly under the part of the body that hurt.
In a two-part article in the Bennington Banner (Vermont), Douglas reported that every one of the patients who had begun sleeping in a new location experienced a substantial reduction or complete disappearance of arthritic pain within periods of time ranging from five days to three months. Forwarding these findings to U.S. health authorities in Washington, D.C., he elicited a reply characterizing his results as "…intriguing and seeming to call for additional investigation." In his newspaper account Douglas concluded that there was no scientifically established relationship between arthritis and underground influences and no logical explanation of why arthritic patients should improve when their beds were moved. However, he added, "…it would appear that the research of medical men overseas, coupled with my own experience and that of other dowsers on the matter of underground irritation, is persuasive evidence that some diseases may be related to these underground forces."
The literature Douglas perused hinted that sleeping over water veins could also cause cancer. When one of his friends, a woman in her thirties, fell ill with breast cancer, Douglas dowsed around her bed to find that his rod produced so many reactions he could not count the veins. In 1978 Douglas reported: "I have now checked 20 cancer cases of different kinds, and in nearly all of them got an almost uncountable number of dowsing signals coming from water veins or, less frequently, clefts or breaks in underground rocky ledges. I thought that the underground veins could be best illustrated if I laid out a series of wooden laths on the bed to show the direction of their flow. When I did this, I asked the person who slept in the bed to lie down in the position they normally assume when falling asleep. Repeatedly, the crossing of the laths indicates precisely where the person is afflicted. "Over a period of ten years I've checked 60 cases of arthritis, 20 cases of cancer and nine cases of cataracts. In every single one of them, I found water lines intersecting under the affected part of the body. In every cancer case but one, I found a network of water veins creating anywhere from thirty to fifty crossings."
In 1978, Douglas had a German article translated into English and discovered that his own findings had been paralleled by those of Dr. Joseph Kopp of Ebikon, Switzerland, a consulting geologist who for years had dowsed successfully for water in his country. The idea that radiation from subterranean water veins might be linked to disease came to Kopp when he detected a water vein flowing directly under a new barn in the Swiss Rhine Valley community of Grabs in Sankt Gallen Canton. When he asked whether there had been cases of animal disease in the barn, a Grabs village official simply swung its door back to reveal it empty. So many animals had become ill when housed in it, he said, that it had been abandoned.
Kopp went on to conduct a personal dowsing survey of 130 barns in which cows confined for considerable periods of time had a high incidence of maladies, ranging from severe rheumatism in the joints and uterine deterioration, to marked weight loss and repeated miscarriages. Their calves either developed very poorly or died before maturity. He found that one or more strongly flowing veins of water ran under every one of the buildings he surveyed.
Learning of Kopp's findings, one pig farmer informed Kopp that sows confined in particular pens would repeatedly eat their litters, and that all the swine in a pen located directly over a water current suffered from bloody flux, while animals in adjacent pens free of such an underground influence were healthy.
… more articles on geopathic stress and more...
A good article on geopathic stress, especially as it relates to underground water. Get a dowser to check this in your house/flat—or give me a call (see dowsing info here), and use the Stress Reducers to reduce the problem.
My experience agrees with these findings, and changing the position of the bed and/or using the Stress Reducers makes a big difference. In Germany they talk about 'cancer beds' in certain houses in which many who have slept in those beds/rooms over the years ended up with cancer and other degenerative issues.

An act of arson destroyed the front office of the former White's School of the Arts Sunday afternoon, according to the Fort Wayne Fire Department.
The building, 2700 E. Maple Grove Ave., is vacant, said Battalion Chief Brian Meeks.
When firefighters arrived on the scene at 3:23 p.m. flames were visible at the front of the building, he said. The blaze was quickly brought under control, Meeks added.
There were no injuries.
The building sustained heavy fire damage, with moderate smoke and water damage, according to a statement released by the department.
The department is asking anyone who observed suspicious activity or who may have information about the fire to call Crime Stoppers at 436-STOP, he said.

Lollipop Chainsaw Review
Played on:
When it comes to making weird ideas blossom into big budget games, few developers out there can boast about it quite like Japanese developer Goichi Suda, AKA Suda51, can. The creator of Shadows of the Damned, No More Heroes, and Killer7 is back with a new game poking fun at Americanized cheerleader, zombie, and popular culture, with his signature oddball style, weird sexual tones, and action-focused gameplay. Lollipop Chainsaw riffs off of creations like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but it does some very strange things that become what I feel quickly becomes the most charming (or off-putting, if it doesn't appeal to you) thing about the whole game. While it's nice change to have a game that focuses on its weirdness and characters over RPG elements or combo systems, it does help to have both if we can, and only once in a while does Lollipop Chainsaw fire on all cylinders.
The game takes place in suburban America during a zombie apocalypse. With this outbreak, high school cheerleader and trained zombie killer Juliet Starling gets to fulfill her destiny to clean up the mess. On the way, hopefully she can also save lives along with her boyfriend, who after a very short while into the game, winds up as a disembodied head hanging from her belt, kept alive by a magic ritual she had to do to save his life. Juliet's big weapon is her chainsaw which happens to double as her purse, as an early part of the game has her pulling her phone out of the chainsaw's body to answer a call. And if you're wondering, these are far from the strangest things that happens in this game. Juliet's other weapon is her set of pompoms, and she collects lollipops that she can use to refill her health. The enemies are of course zombies, and the player will use quick attacks with the pompoms and heavy attacks with the chainsaw, along with both jumping attacks and low sweeps, to take on the horde and slice her way through them. And when you mow through all of these zombies, each kill releases big pink hearts and showers of glitter, because, well... because this game is made by Suda51. That's why.
Throughout the game you'll find the 18-year-old Juliet to be sexualized in a silly way that borrows from old exploitation films, and this comes through in her movements, the characters' dialogue, and the style of voice acting. At first it was a bit strange to me, but I realized quickly that this is entirely based on a stereotype of American high school TV shows and movies, although it seems to be borrowing from Buffy the most when it comes to the irreverent theme and style of humor. The difference here is that Suda51, at the helm of studio Grasshopper Manufacture, will often take this ridiculousness even further than any American TV shows have.
The action is usually frantic, with the game being plenty difficult the first time through on easy mode, especially if you're not an expert at 3D beat-em-ups like Bayonetta and the current Ninja Gaiden series. If you're not already familiar with games like these, I do recommend you begin on easy mode, and only turn it up when you feel like you can get through most fights having only taken one or two hits at most. Having the ability to dodge around and get temporary invincibility during the animation is hugely important here, as zombies will gladly stomp all over you if you let them, even while you've got an active combo on one. For this reason, you'll need to move around a lot to stay safe and stop yourself from getting surrounded; sure, the chainsaw does sweep in a big arc to hit multiple enemies, but it's slow to swing and you'll almost always be open to attack from one side or another.
Carving through zombies is of course the main goal of the game, even though the plot takes you around Juliet's little town (and eventually a big city) to save as many people from the zombie horde as you can. Minute to minute, though, it's all about chopping the undead into pieces, with many sections stopping you and giving you a fixed number of zombies to finish off before you're allowed to progress. And while the game doesn't throw up big red walls to limit your movement, you'll still usually be trapped in some kind of limited area pretty often. Secret stuff comes by way of taking out special named zombies in the Sparkle Hunter mode, which you activate by building up a meter and then unleashing with your right trigger. Other upgrades and bonuses, including a pretty amusing gun to use here and there, come eventually, but none of it really vastly changes the way Lollipop Chainsaw plays.
With all of that said, I tried to compare Lollipop Chainsaw with games like Bayonetta, and very quickly I realized that as a pure zen-like action experience, Lollipop Chainsaw just comes up a bit short. The level design and overall atmosphere can fall apart here and there, especially since the zombie theme has been worn kind of thin in recent years. At this point, developers that choose to go with zombies as the main enemies really need to be building some serious immersion or delivering constant, fun gimmicks to stand out. In that respect, Grasshopper doesn't always succeed.
If you've already gone through games like Bayonetta a dozen or more times and you're looking for more tight, slick action games, well, that's where Lollipop Chainsaw can come in, as the game grades you on your performance in pretty fine detail - and then you can compete with your friends on leaderboards with the grades you get. Still, the game runs at 30fps and doesn't seem to have quite the tight controls and action that we often expect from Japanese action game developers, and it's pretty short on top of that, so you'd really need to want to go back through the game at higher difficulties to really get your money's worth. Lollipop Chainsaw has some fun thematic gimmicks and a rather amusing story and setup, but if it can't stand on its gameplay (which it struggles with at some points), then I can't really recommend a full-price purchase. Pick it up if you're a serious Japanese action fan, but if not, then at least wait until it's on sale.
