What happens when two saucy ladies meet at Serendipity? Gold — of the comedy and ice cream variety, that is. As part of her web series The Look, Harper's BAZAAR executive editor Laura Brown invited Sofia Vergara to the legendary NYC dessert institution for some good ol' ladies-who-lunch chitchat.
Our personal Sofia highlights include when she:
- Describes fans' disappointment when they meet her.
- Yells "Salud!" during their frozen hot chocolate toast.
- Compares her cleavage to Brown's saying, "It's just cleavage. It's different, but they're both cleavage." Um, not exactly.
- Asks Brown to stop being weird.
- Says sprinkles with a silent 's'.
- Mouths 'whore' after Brown steals her first Valentino coat.
Watch the entire conversation below, and for more of Laura Brown and The Look, we've got you covered:

Next Self-Study Evaluation: 2023 - 2024
Next Periodic Review Report: 2019
Date Printed: October 5, 2015
Branch Campus - A location of an institution that is geographically apart and independent
of the main campus of the institution. The location is independent if the location: offers courses in
educational programs leading to a degree, certificate, or other recognized educational credential; has its own
faculty and administrative or supervisory organization; and has its own budgetary and hiring authority.
Additional Location - A location, other than a branch campus, that is geographically apart from the main campus and at which the institution offers at least 50 percent of an educational program. ANYA ("Approved but Not Yet Active") indicates that the location is included within the scope of accreditation but has not yet begun to offer courses. This designation is removed after the Commission receives notification that courses have begun at this location.
Other Instructional Sites - A location, other than a branch campus or additional location, at which the institution offers one or more courses for credit.
Distance Education Programs - Fully Approved, Approved (one program approved) or Not Approved indicates whether or not the institution has been approved to offer diploma/certificate/degree programs via distance education (programs for which students could meet 50% or more of the requirements of the program by taking distance education courses). Per the Commission's Substantive Change policy, Commission approval of the first two Distance Education programs is required to be "Fully Approved." If only one program is approved by the Commission, the specific name of the program will be listed in parentheses after "Approved."
An institution's accreditation continues unless it is explicitly withdrawn or the institution voluntarily allows its accreditation to lapse. In addition to reviewing the institution's accreditation status at least every 5 years, the Commission takes actions to approve substantive changes (such as a new degree or certificate level, opening or closing of a geographical site, or a change of ownership) or when other events occur that require review for continued compliance.
Any type of report or visit required by the Commission is reviewed and voted on by the Commission. Reports submitted for candidacy, self-study evaluation, periodic review or follow-up may be accepted, acknowledged, or rejected.
The Commission "Accepts" a report when its quality, thoroughness, and clarity are sufficient to respond to all of the Commission's concerns, without requiring additional information in order to assess the institution's status.
The Commission "Documents receipt of" a letter or report when it addresses the Commission's concerns only partially because the letter or report had limited institutional responses to requested information, did not present evidence and analysis conducive to Commission review, were of insufficient quality, or necessitated extraordinary effort by the Commission's representatives and staff performing the review. Relevant reasons for not accepting the letter or report are noted in the action. The Commission may or may not require additional information in order to assess the institution's status.
The Commission "Rejects" a letter or report when its quality or substance are insufficient to respond appropriately to the Commission's concerns. The Commission requires the institution to resubmit the report and may request a visit at its discretion. These terms may be used for any action (reaffirm, postpone, warn, etc.).
Types of Follow-Up Reports:
Accreditation Readiness Report (ARR): The institution prepares an initial Accreditation Readiness Report during the application phase and continually updates it throughout the candidacy process. It is for use both by the institution and the Commission to present and summarize documented evidence and analysis of the institution's current or potential compliance with the Commission's accreditation standards.
Progress Report: The Commission needs assurance that the institution is carrying out activities that were planned or were being implemented at the time of a report or on-site visit.
Monitoring Report: There is a potential for the institution to become non-compliant with MSCHE standards; issues are more complex or more numerous; or issues require a substantive, detailed report. A visit may or may not be required. Monitoring reports are required for non-compliance actions.
Supplemental Information Report: This report is intended only to allow the institution to provide further information, not to give the institution time to formulate plans or initiate remedial action. This report is required when a decision is postponed. The Commission may request a supplemental information report at any time during the accreditation cycle.
Periodically, the Commission may include commendations to the institution within the action language. There are three commendations. More than one commendation may be given at the same time:
To commend the institution for the quality of the [Self-Study or PRR] report. The document itself was notably well-written, honest, insightful, and/or useful.
To commend the institution for the quality of its [Self-Study or PRR] process. The Self-Study process was notably inclusive.
To recognize the institution's progress to date. This is recognition for institutions that had serious challenges or problems but have made significant progress.
Affirming Actions
Grant Candidate for Accreditation Status: This is a pre-accreditation status following a specified
process for application and institutional self-study. For details about the application process, see the MSCHE
publication, Becoming Accredited. The U.S. Department of Education labels Candidacy as "Pre-accreditation"
and defines it as the status of public recognition that an accrediting agency grants to an institution or program
for a limited period of time that signifies the agency has determined that the institution or program is progressing
toward accreditation but is not assured of accreditation) before the expiration of that limited period of time.
Upon a grant of candidate for accreditation status, the institution may be asked to submit additional Accreditation
Readiness Reports until it is ready to initiate self study.
Grant Accreditation: The Commission has acted to grant accreditation to a Candidate institution and does not require the submission of a written report prior to the next scheduled accreditation review in five years.
Grant Accreditation and request a Progress Report or Monitoring Report: The Commission has acted to grant accreditation to a Candidate institution but requires the submission of a written report prior to the next scheduled accreditation review to ensure that the institution is carrying out activities that were planned or were being implemented at the time of the report or on-site visit.
Reaffirm Accreditation via Self Study or Periodic Review Report: The Commission has acted to reaffirm accreditation and does not require the submission of a written report prior to the next scheduled accreditation review in five years. The action language may include recommendations to be addressed in the next Periodic Review Report or Self Study. Suggestions for improvement are given, but no written follow-up reporting is needed for compliance.
Reaffirm Accreditation via Self Study or Periodic Review Report and request a Progress Report or Monitoring Report: The Commission has acted to reaffirm accreditation but requires the submission of a written report prior to the next scheduled accreditation review to ensure that the institution is carrying out activities that were planned or were being implemented at the time of the report or on-site visit.
Administrative Actions
Continue Accreditation: A delay of up to one year may be granted to ensure a current and accurate representation of the institution or in the event of circumstances beyond the institution's control (natural disaster, U.S. State Department travel warnings, etc.). The institution maintains its status with the Commission during this period.
Procedural Actions
Defer a decision on initial accreditation: The Candidate institution shows promise but the evaluation
team has identified issues of concern and recommends that the institution be given a specified time period to address
those concerns. Institutions may not stay in candidacy more than 5 years.
Postpone a decision on (reaffirmation of) accreditation: The Commission has determined that there is insufficient information to substantiate institutional compliance with one or more standards. The Commission requests a supplemental information report.
Voluntary Lapse of Accreditation: The institution has allowed its accreditation to lapse by not completing required obligations. The institution is no longer a member of the Commission upon the determined date that accreditation will cease.
Non-Compliance Actions
Warning: A Warning indicates that an institution has been determined by the Commission not to meet one or more standards for accreditation. A follow-up report, called a monitoring report, is required to demonstrate that the institution has made appropriate improvements to bring itself into compliance.
Probation: Probation indicates that an institution has been determined by the Commission not to meet one or more standards for accreditation and is an indication of a serious concern on the part of the Commission regarding the level and/or scope of non-compliance issues related to the standards. The Commission will place an institution on Probation if the Commission is concerned about one or more of the following:
Probation is often, but need not always be, preceded by an action of Warning or Postponement. If the Commission had previously postponed a decision or placed the institution on Warning, the Commission may place the institution on Probation if it determines that the institution has failed to address satisfactorily the Commission's concerns in the prior action of postponement or warning regarding compliance with Commission standards. This action is accompanied by a request for a monitoring report, and a special visit follows. Probation may, but need not always, precede an action of Show Cause.
By federal regulation, the Commission must take immediate action to withdraw accreditation if an institution is out of compliance with accreditation standards for two years, unless the time is extended for good cause.
Show Cause: An institution is asked to demonstrate why its accreditation should not be withdrawn. A written report from the institution (including a teach out plan) and a follow-up team visit are required. The institution has the opportunity to appear before the Commission when the Commission meets to consider the institution's Show Cause status. Show Cause may occur during or at the end of the two-year Probation period, or at any time the Commission determines that an institution must demonstrate why its accreditation should not be withdrawn (i.e. Probation is not a necessary precursor to Show Cause).
Adverse Actions
Withdrawal of Accreditation: An institution's candidate or accredited status is withdrawn and with it,
membership in the association. If the institution appeals this action, its accreditation remains in effect until the
appeal is completed.
Denial of Accreditation: An institution is denied initial accreditation because it does not meet the Commission's requirements of affiliation or accreditation standards during the period allowed for candidacy. If the institution appeals this action, its candidacy remains in effect until the appeal is completed.
Appeal: The withdrawal or denial of candidacy or accreditation may be appealed. Institutions remain accredited (or candidates for accreditation) during the period of the appeal.
Other actions are described in the Commission policy, "Range of Commission Actions on Accreditation."

Melissa Langdon
Cat 4 Road, Cat 4 Captain
Melissa is a Colorado native, wife, and mother of two. She has been fascinated with cycling since 2003. After having her first child, Melissa wanted to get back into shape quickly, so she purchased her first road bike and it has been an addiction ever since. To Melissa, riding her bike means getting a great workout and an exhilarating sense of freedom.
In the beginning, with each bike ride, Melissa began setting personal goals for distance and speed and was thrilled with her accomplishments and results. In 2009, Melissa's Uncle Rodger convinced her to participate in the annual Ride The Rockies bicycle tour. At this point in her life, the furthest distance Melissa had traveled on her bike was only about 30 miles. The idea of riding back to back days, for over 300 miles in less than a week, seemed unrealistic to her. Thankfully, Rodger was able to convince Melissa to believe in herself, and her unrealistic dream became a wonderful reality. Ride The Rockies 2009 was one of Melissa's greatest accomplishments. Not only did she tackle high mileage and challenging mountain passes each day, but she also did the entire bike tour alone. Melissa learned that she is much stronger than she ever realized, not just physically, but mentally as well. The fulfilling sense of pride that came with crossing the finish line that year, pushed Melissa to participate in several other Ride The Rockies tours in 2011, 2012 and 2013.
During the 2011 Ride The Rockies tour, Melissa met one of her very best friends, Sharon Madison. In the few days they rode together during that first tour, Sharon taught Melissa the "art" of cycling. It was a crash course in drafting, nutrition, bike maintenance and cycling fashion. Melissa felt completely overwhelmed but hopelessly intrigued. After Ride The Rockies that year, Sharon and Melissa began to ride together more frequently and Sharon began to mold Melissa into the cyclist that she new she could be. It took a lot of convincing, but Sharon finally talked Melissa into joining The Naked Women's Racing Team. In 2013, Melissa once again pushed herself outside of her comfort zone, and she signed up to race. It is one of the best decisions she has ever made. Cycling has taught Melissa what it means to be a teammate, how to race her bike and most importantly, to face her fears.

Check out these three options to rip Blu-ray titles into full 1080p HD MKV files.
If you want to enjoy full high-definition 1080p videos, Blu-ray discs are the only possible option at present. However, to watch Blu-ray movies, you will need to invest in a Blu-ray drive on your PC or player for your TV, and definitely some surround sound speakers. As far as the equipment is concerned, it is a one-time investment, since you wont be upgrading that often. However, Blu-ray titles are not cheap and depending on the release date or the popularity of the movie, you could be spending thousands on each one of them. You can borrow them from friends (that is, if they have what you want to watch), but eventually you have to return them. Well, why not simply copy them to your hard drive and watch them over-and-over again or whenever you want to?

Judicial Watch has already sued other California cities for supporting day worker centers and lost, according to Maria Marroquin, director of the Day Worker Center of Mountain View.
"Judicial Watch represents the legal arm of the nativist vigilante movement in this country," said Chris Newman, a lawyer with the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "They in no way have been involved in proffering solutions. Instead they are intent on generating problems for local communities in order to make a political point that would be better served if it was made on the national level."
Kellar says Judicial Watch has been following Mountain View and its Day Worker Center over the last year, and is meeting with neighbors as part of a campaign to bust "sanctuary cities" which actively protect illegal immigrants from deportation.
Chris Farrell, director of research for Judicial Watch, met with local residents to discuss the Day Worker Center and other Judicial Watch campaigns on Wednesday at the Residence Inn Marriott in Los Altos.
Speaking at Tuesday's council meeting, Farrell cited a federal law that he interprets as saying that "If you encourage or induce a person here illegally to work in the country, that's illegal."
City attorney Michael Martello says the law could be interpreted to say illegal immigrants shouldn't be allowed medical care, education or to even get on a bus, but instead the courts have ruled in favor of day worker centers. He says there is no legal problem with the city giving the center a lease deal for a parking lot on city property next to 113 Escuela Ave.
Because of its English classes and other services, the Day Worker Center is a "community center," Martello said, that serves "many folks, including those that may be undocumented."
Neighbors are calling the center a commercial business that does not belong in the residential neighborhood, and say its 80 or so workers and their employers will cause traffic problems and lower property values.
The Day Worker Center already owns the property at 113 Escuela Ave., and a conditional use permit was approved by the city's zoning administrator that would have allowed the center to relocate from its current downtown location. But neighbors have appealed that decision to the City Council, which is scheduled to decide on May 12 whether to allow the center to use the property.
Despite rumors to the contrary, Martello says, city officials have never declared Mountain View a "sanctuary city." Police here are not prohibited from contacting Immigration and Customs Enforcement if necessary.
Police Chief Scott Vermeer told the Voice in June 2007 that local police have "no role enforcing federal immigration laws ... unless the safety of the general public is at stake."

Matthew McConaughey looks sickly after dropping 30 lbs for Dallas Buyer's Club.
Us Weekly reported the 42-year old actor caused a stir when he was seen walking with his mom. The actor seemed to lean on his mother for support.
PEOPLE reported McConaughey told Larry King he should not look healthy after losing the weight, because the point of the movie is to look sickly.
He stated, "I'm playing a guy who was sick and would have loved to have been healthier but wasn't...I'll get down to the weight I need to get to. I'm on my way, and it's what I need to do for the job."
The Dallas Buyer's Club is a true story about a man who tries to buy experimental HIV drugs to prolong his life.
McConaughey told King he had changed his diet to drop down to the weight he needed to be at to play Ron Woodruff, a man suffering from AIDS.
McConaughey told King he was "drinking a lot of tea … It takes a while for your body to understand that it has to feed off of itself and that you're not going to give it something else from the outside."

Current research is being conducted at Toads, where heart rates exceeding the 'I want to bone you' threshold could prove messy. In a recent announcement, Peter Salovey commended the creators of the True Love Tester Bra, lauding their "efforts to improve campus climate" and stating, "the university will reap the benefit of their scholarly judgments for decades to come."
Now, instead of having to let boys down with the classic "I'm a lesbian" or "I'm saving it for Jesus," girls can bashfully put the blame on their undies. This bra is the Akon of female undergarment apparel, except everybody wins and nobody assaults a minor.
This is what the Yale dating (and by dating, I mean DFMO) scene needs.

IMO surplus to requirements though as Dean Brownlie's medium pace will be too good for the Jamaican third XI that the West Indies field after yet another pissing contest over pay, conditions or how the current team is not a patch on the great West Indies sides of the 80s. 3-0 to NZ in all formats.
Probably the best knock I've seen from a New Zealand batsmen since Taylor's 154* at Old Trafford four years ago. Obviously had some luck early on but he'd probably struggle to score a tougher 100 then that for the rest of his career. Loved every minute of his battle against Dale Steyn, was awesome viewing.
Unlucky South Africa however, should've been 3-0 if it wasn't for the weather playing it's part. Pretty much dominated the entire series even with a couple of slip ups with the bat. Bowling's top class, I haven't seen a unit that is as good as that in a while. Aside from de Lange who had a poor match the quicks were excellent the entire series. It's not often you'll sit there after a session and think "****, I can't remember a single bad delivery" They were that good. Really looking forward to their tour of England in the middle of the year.

Haha classic.
It was an awesome contest after that Peterson catch. I'd rather know what Mark Boucher said though. I bet it wasn't as nice as what Steyn said.

Due to contractual Red Tape with Mads, Malcolm could decide to give the redundant Henning Solberg the drive creating instant history by making it the 1st time that the Solberg Brothers have both competed in the same Works Team together as Factory drivers
The P.R. would be good for Ford too, and maybe with a 3 day test Henning may be back to his old form if he is confident after an extended test with brother Petter, its doubtful but possible

Sunday, June 06, 2010 – with Scott Smith
Introduction: Judge Andrew P. Napolitano joined FOX News Channel (FNC) in January 1998 and currently serves as the senior judicial analyst. He provides legal analysis on both FNC and FOX Business Network (FBN). He is also a fill in co-host for "FOX & Friends" regularly and co-hosts FOX News Radio's Brian and The Judge show daily and is host of FreedomWatch on Foxnews.com. Judge Napolitano is the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey. While on the bench from 1987 to 1995, Judge Napolitano tried more than 150 jury trials and sat in all parts of the Superior Court – criminal, civil, equity and family. He has handled thousands of sentencings, motions, hearings and divorces. For 11 years, he served as an adjunct professor of constitutional law at Seton Hall Law School, where he provided instruction in constitutional law and jurisprudence. Judge Napolitano returned to private law practice in 1995 and began television broadcasting in the same year. Judge Napolitano has written four books: Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws; a New York Times bestseller, The Constitution in Exile: How the Federal Government Has Seized Power by Rewriting the Supreme Law of the Land; A Nation of Sheep.; and his most recent book is another New York Times bestseller, Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power and Deception in American History.
Daily Bell: Thanks for visiting with us. Tell us a little bit about your background, where you grew up and how you became interested in being a judge.
Judge Napolitano: I was born in Newark NJ, attended public schools, spent my sophomore year in high school as a page in the U.S. House of representatives and attended the private school for pages in the Library of Congress. I'm a graduate of Princeton University and the University of Notre Dame Law School. My academic interest in the law drew me away from private practice toward the judiciary. I received my initial appointment from Governor Tom Kane and my lifetime appointment from Governor Christine Todd Whitman.
Daily Bell: How did you make the leap to FOX News?
Judge Napolitano: At the time that I left the bench, something that rarely occurs during a lifetime appointment – and with the permission of the Chief Justice – I held a press conference in which I blasted judicial salaries. I also blasted the inability of judges to supplement their income by doing teaching and writing. One of the people that happily read the interview was the then President of CNBC, who called me up and said, "Now we're about to cover this crazy trial in California and I thought about putting a judge on TV to second guess this judge." Then he asked me "Maybe you have heard of him, his name is Lance Ido?" Of course it was the OJ Simpson trial and I ended up covering it four-days a week for 13 months. The President of CNBC would go on to become the founder of FOX; it was Roger Ailes. He was the one, of course, who brought me over.
Daily Bell: You are more libertarian than conservative and obviously a friend of Ron Paul's. When did you get to know Ron Paul and learn about the Austrian, free-market school?
Judge Napolitano: I got to know Ron Paul over the past four or five years when after a couple of interviews on air, he invited me to spend a little time with him and some other Congressman in DC and discuss the Constitution over dinner. My attraction to the Austrian view of economics was generated early on in my college years when I rebelled against the Keynesian Economics being taught at Princeton and just about everywhere else. I couldn't put an exact date on either of these events for you but one is about 5 years ago and the other is about 35 years ago.
Daily Bell: Would you classify yourself as an Austrian?
Judge Napolitano: I would classify myself as a person who believes in the Austrian School of Economics – absolutely. The books that have influenced me the most in my life, I would list as: Orthodoxy, by G.K. Chesterton, The Conscience of a Conservative by Barry Goldwater and The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek
Daily Bell: You were the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in the history of the State of New Jersey. How did your views evolve from this point forward to where you are today?
Judge Napolitano: Well, being the youngest was a coincidence of biology, I was appointed very young because Tom Kane, Governor Kane at the time, was interested in very young people who wanted to make the judiciary a life-time career. The New Jersey constitution requires that you practice law for ten years before you are eligible for the full-time judiciary; I began practicing law at age 25 and was appointed to the bench at age 36, so that is about as early as you could possibly do it. Then I wrote a book about Constitutional Chaos, What happens when the government breaks its own laws. I have always been on the Libertarian side of things but being a judge in a criminal court was enough to lock the door and throw away the key, so to speak. You spend so much of your time observing the government's efforts to evade, avoid and otherwise dodge the Constitution. And if you believe the Constitution means what ii says, and you take your oath seriously, then you generally become scandalized at the things done by both the police and prosecutors. I described this intellectual odyssey in this book.
Daily Bell: What is justice in your opinion – having sat on the bench?
Judge Napolitano: I don't think I can answer that in a simple paragraph. But justice is the enforcement of the fair response to human behavior consistent with natural law and consistent with the rule of law. So that means that you have to accept that the Declaration of Independence is not just a Jeffersonian musing, but is fundamental to American values. Our rights come from our humanity, which is a gift from God; they don't come from the government, so they can't be taken away by the government. You have to accept the role of government as an arbiter with respect to the infringement of those rights whether by an executive or legislative branch, or whether by a private person. Really there is no formula other than recognizing natural rights, accepting the fundamental law of the land, being fair and being brutally honest and having no interest in the outcome.
Daily Bell: Does President Barack Obama understand the Constitution in your opinion?
Judge Napolitano: I don't think so, unless the Barack Obama that we witness in the White House is putting on an act. I mean to him the Constitution is no impediment to the exercise of judicial power. I have to modify this by saying rarely have we had a President who understood the Constitution. Grover Cleveland understood the Constitution, Thomas Jefferson for the most part of it understood the Constitution; Andrew Jackson partially understood the Constitution but very few others have.
Daily Bell: Are sentences for white-collar securities crime, especially insider trading, adequate and just?
Judge Napolitano: Well for the most part they are far too harsh because they are an effort by the government to regulate the free market by a weird and bizarre and expansive definition of who or what an insider is. Basically the government should do little more than preserve freedom, which means make it a crime to commit fraud on someone. It shouldn't be a crime to take advantage of your knowledge of the market place in order to make money as long as the playing field is level.
Daily Bell: You served as an adjunct professor of Constitutional law at Seton Hall Law School, where you provided instruction and jurisprudence. Is the law constitutional these days? What does that mean?
Judge Napolitano: Yes, I did that for 11 years. You mean are laws written to the Constitution? The answer is no. Most members of Congress couldn't care less what the Constitution says. Even though they have taken an oath to uphold it, preserve it, protect it and defend it, which was the same oath I took when I became a judge. I was interviewing a Congressman from South Carolina, Jim Clyburn, who's the number three ranking Democrat in the house, and I asked him quite simply and plainly where in the Constitution is the federal government authorized to manage health care? He told me, "Judge, most of what we do down here, (referring to Washington) is not authorized by the Constitution." The torturing and twisting of the plain language of the Constitution in order to permit the expansion of the federal powers has resulted in the loss of liberty and freedom of choice.
Daily Bell: What is the state of constitutional scholarship in the United States?
Judge Napolitano: Well constitutional scholarship is all over the place. I mean there are those who write scholarly works of art in order to justify the government's exercise of power – not granted by the Constitution – and there are those who write scholarly works in order to keep the government in line.
Daily Bell: Why don't lawyers realize how far they have strayed from constitutional principles?
Judge Napolitano: Well because most of them don't deal with the Constitution on a daily basis. Unless you are a prosecutor or a judge or a criminal defense lawyer or involved in public advocacy – like the ACLU or the Institute for Justice or one of these think tanks devoted to protecting freedom and property – you generally don't deal with the Constitution, even though this is one of the most fundamental texts in any American law school. And even though proficiency on this area of law is required by every American bar examination, it is a subject matter that lawyers lose track of almost immediately after they take the bar exam. Most lawyers deal with issues that do not effect the government and constitutional law.
Daily Bell: Tell us about your book, Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History.
Judge Napolitano: It is a rollicking tour from 1776 to 2008 about the classic lies the government has perpetrated on the people and the political, legal and moral effect of accepting those lies. I argue that the dirty, little secret of American history is that the Constitution is rarely enforced and the government gets away with its violation of the Constitution in the most explicit ways. It basically seeks to point out government's myth-making when it comes to such constitutional points as, "all men are created equal," or "Congress shall make no law abridging a freedom of speech," or "all persons shall be secure in their property, houses, possessions." I argue that FDR caused Pearl Harbor, that Lyndon Johnson created out of thin air the Gulf of Tonkin, that George Bush knew that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and was in fact authorizing his agents to torture people. I catalogue these and government lying about them in the book.
Daily Bell: What do you think of the Constitution and how it was written and the principles it espouses?
Judge Napolitano: When it was written it had some defects in it. It permitted slavery; it even permitted the slave trade. So one can love the restraint to impose on government, and one can love the bill of rights. One can appreciate the separation of powers within the federal government and the federal system as it relates to sovereign states that can act as a check to the federal government. But once we overcame things like discrimination based on race, and discrimination based on gender, it is a brilliant document that guarantees liberty and ensures the separation of power. Now unfortunately it has been harmed by at least two amendments that are unconstitutional. Now here is an interesting question: Can a part of the Constitution be unconstitutional? The answer is yes. The 16th amendment and the 17th amendment encapsulate the income tax and the changing of the manner in which the US Senate is elected. So the Constitution we have today is nowhere near the beautiful balanced instrument of limited government that the framers gave us. It's barely a shadow of it's original self.
Daily Bell: Some say the Constitution was a step backward from a less structured federation of states. Agree or disagree – and why?
Judge Napolitano: I agree. I do agree. I think that we would be far happier today under the Articles of Confederation than under the current Constitution, but we would also be happier today under the Constitution were it interpreted as it was intended to be. Unfortunately, almost from the beginning, and certainly with Chief Justice John Marshall, we bear witness to the march away from state sovereignty, the march away from individual liberty and the march toward federal dominance. This march has accelerated and decelerated at various times in our history. Usually at wartime it becomes more accelerated. But from the end of the Civil War and certainly from and after the FDR era, the march has consistently been away from state sovereignty away, from individual liberty and toward federal dominance.
Daily Bell: Did the Constitution lay the foundation for the War Between the States?
Judge Napolitano: I think War Between the States was fought over the issue of federal dominance. I think slavery was not the reason for the War Between the States. I think that Lincoln was a dictator who was terrified that by the loss of tariffs from southern ports – about 55 million dollars a year in 1860. it was a huge portion of the federal government's income, which consisted at the time of tariffs, user fees and land sales. It was the loss of those ports that caused Lincoln to wage war against the states. I don't think it was the Constitution that facilitated war. I think it was monster government that facilitated the War Between the States. I think slavery would have been eradicated on its own, much as it had been in Puerto Rico and Brazil and Portugal and Great Britain and even years earlier in western Europe.
Daily Bell: Would America have been better off without a Constitution?
Judge Napolitano: No, I don't think so. America is better off with a Constitution if it meant what is said and interpreted as written. Because it does say, on its face, that there are certain guarantees. Regrettably, the government has rarely upheld those guarantees. The beauty of the Constitution was the idea of checks and balances. Men, as Madison said, "are not angels." They will be drawn more toward power than toward liberty if there isn't something to check the drive toward power.
Daily Bell: Were the Articles of Confederation superior?
Judge Napolitano: I can't answer that because they didn't exist long enough to know that. They certainly permitted far weaker central government, far less federal tyranny, and far more state sovereignty than we have today. The people who took over the government in the years immediately following the Constitution – Washington, Adams, Hamilton and the Federalists – skewed the laws of the land and the behavior of the judiciary in the earliest parts of our history. Had John Marshall never been born, or had he never been the Chief Justice, we would have a lot more freedom and a lot more choices today. President Reagan used to remind people that the beauty of the country is you could vote with your feet. Meaning if you don't like the pervasive taxation in Massachusetts you can move to New Hampshire; if you don't like the pervasive regulation in New Jersey you can move to Pennsylvania. The more centralized the power is in Washington, DC, the less differences there are between the states. Then there's nowhere to go.
Daily Bell: And what about your book, Constitutional Chaos? What happens when government breaks its own laws?
Judge Napolitano: Constitutional Chaos is my own odyssey on the bench and intellectual journey toward libertarianism. It also catalogues, breaches behavior of the government breaking its own laws. Trying a judge for example for bribery and bribing witnesses to testify against him. So then the prosecution in the courtroom committed the very same crime that they were prosecuting the defendants for. Another book, Constitution in Exile is a walk through the Constitution, from the first phrase to the end of the last amendment and an explanation of what it should mean, and what it was intended to mean – versus what it has become. A Nation of Sheep is pretty much a catalogue of the most exquisite violations of the Constitution and the post WWII era. It shows how we have lost liberty and the states have lost sovereignty as a result of these violations, which were sanctioned by the Supreme Court or upheld by voters.
Daily Bell: When did economics and law diverge? When law departed from Common Law?
Judge Napolitano: No … when the government violated the Constitution by authorizing the states to interfere with private contracts and then eventually interfering with private contracts itself. I mean much of this was done under the Commerce Clause. The Commerce Clause was written to keep commerce between the states regular, not to enable Congress to regulate every aspect of the movement of goods from one state to another. Once Congress achieved that power and the court condoned it, we found ourselves in a period where the Congress would write any law, regulate any behavior and tax any event subject to what it could get away with politically. Surely the legislature should be able to abrogate the common law, I mean there are aspects of the common law we would find repugnant today. For the most part common law was a codification of Western values enforced by British and ultimately English judges. It did things like prevent the King from crossing the threshold of your cottage or your palace depending upon your state in society, A person's home was his castle. That wasn't written down anywhere or in any stature enacted by the parliament but it was part of the common law. So there are a lot of traditions in the common law.
Daily Bell: Would we be better off with a system of private "common" law in the West?
Judge Napolitano: We still have common law in the West. Unfortunately much of it has been abrogated by legislatures. Under the Constitution, if the government wants to interfere with your freedom, whether it's the freedom to manufacture and sell widgets, or whether it's the freedom to shoot somebody in the head – whatever the freedom is – the government has to write the law down and challenge your before a neutral jury. You can't just declare as a matter of law that this behavior, in which you have already engaged, is no longer appropriate.
Daily Bell: Given John Farmers' recent book lambasting the Commission's conclusions, will 9/11 ever been investigated by a legitimate entity with credibility?
Judge Napolitano: John Farmer was Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission and my understanding of what he wrote was that the Commission was frustrated in its ability to find the truth not that the Commission itself was corrupt. So assuming that is the basis of his allegations, and I have not read the book, we will probably find out what happened at 9/11 – but only after the cast of characters is dead. I mean, just look at the JFK assassination. People take for granted today that the CIA was involved. Sometime in the future, the people will take for granted that the American government looked the other way when these monsters of 9/11 were coming, just like they looked the other way at Pearl Harbor and the Gulf of Tonkin or whenever they wanted to create war in order to enhance power over us.
Daily Bell: Did America ever go bankrupt? Is the country in legal receivership?
Judge Napolitano: Well, the government is bankrupt almost since the very beginning. I mean it's hard to think of any aspect of the government, which is not bankrupt. We collectively owe 14 trillion dollars … actually about 12-and-a-half but it's authorized to go up to 14. Should the country go into receivership? The real debt, money legitimately loaned to the federal government, should be paid back by the sales of assets. I mean the Federal government owns more than 14 trillion in assets and it should have to sell them to liquidate the debt. We don't need a Federal Reserve; we don't need federal dollars in order to be prosperous. Indeed the Federal Reserve controlling federal dollars has diminished our prosperity.
Daily Bell: Is America currently under a state of emergency and legally led only by the president?
Judge Napolitano: Presidents usually get their way with Congress, even when they want Congress to violate the Constitution. A state of emergency may exist in the minds of certain politicians, but it's a non-legal phrase. There's no such thing, constitutionally, as a state of emergency. Presidents would like us to think we are in a state of emergency because when we're are afraid, we surrender. That's why the so-called great American Presidents were all wartime presidents, because they were able to scare people into giving them more power. So the answer to that question is it depends who you ask.
Daily Bell: Are the 14th, 15th and 16th amendments legal and constitutionally binding in your opinion?
Judge Napolitano: There's a lot of dispute about the adoption of the 14th amendment. It is a historical fact that several states after adopting the 14th amendment rescinded their adoption but the Congress counted their adoption anyway. It's a historical fact that the 13th amendment was adopted at the point of a gun, figuratively and literally. Troops in the streets in the South would not leave until Southern legislatures adopted the 13th amendment. However, slavery is about as repugnant to natural law as is imaginable. So the 13th amendment is a good thing. And the 14th amendment's requirement of equal protection is obviously a good thing. Should they have been enacted freely? Yes. Were they? No.
Daily Bell: What do you think of tax resisters who make arguments against the graduated income tax? Are any of them valid?
Judge Napolitano: I think all taxation is theft. I'm not talking about user fees; I am taking about the government taking money from you for the privilege of engaging in a commercial transaction or for the privilege of earning income. It's moral theft. But as it is lawful, I can't encourage tax resistance because I would be encouraging criminal behavior. I can encourage the repeal of the 16th and 17th amendments that would shrink the government back down to it's normal size and starve. But until that is the case, if you want to stay our of jail you better pay your taxes.
Daily Bell: You lecture nationally on the Constitution and human freedom. Are your lectures well received? Has the reception grown friendlier in the past decade?
Judge Napolitano: I have been fortunate enough to get before audiences that generally do receive them well. The more the government regulates, the more material it gives me. I always tell my audiences I'm a simple night watchman, who watches the government under cover of darkness as it steals your property and your liberty. For the most part people who watch know the truth.
Daily Bell: Why did we move from private law to "public" socialized law?
Judge Napolitano: I don't know what you mean. If you are asking me why does the federal government control private behavior it's because the courts have let them get away with it and the public treasury has become a public trough. The people sent to Washington will give their supporters as big a piece of pie as they can.
Daily Bell: Should the Supreme Court be the final legal authority of the land?
Judge Napolitano: Yes, the Supreme Court should be the final arbiter of our rights. It should interpret the Constitution as it was written and it should interpret the Constitution to mean what it says. The whole purpose of a life-tenured independent judiciary is to be the anti-democratic branch of government. The democratic branches of government will never regulate themselves. Without a branch of the government to assure our natural rights and our constitutional rights, there would be nothing to stop the tyranny of a majority. Then 51% of the voters could take the property and the freedoms from the other 49%. Because we have a society in which presidents for the most part respect the Supreme Court, we can still have the rule of law.
Daily Bell: Why does America have such a high incarceration rate compare to the rest of the world?
Judge Napolitano: Because we have a pseudo-Victorian attitude about victimless crimes! I say "pseudo" because we pretend to be the freest country on the planet. I say "Victorian" because we still have this attitude that certain private, harmless behaviors simply can't be condoned by a government in America. And for that reason, things like recreational drugs, prostitution and pornography are prosecuted. Much of what the federal government does on the criminal side should not be the subject of criminal prosecutions but the court lets the feds get away with it. There are over 4,000 federal criminal statutes about 95% of which cannot be tied to any specific direct grant of power in the Constitution to the federal government.
Daily Bell: Why doesn't current public law pay attention to economic laws – specifically the law of supply and demand and marginal utility?
Judge Napolitano: I wish I knew the answer to that. For some reasons, some of the fiercest defenders of civil liberties are also some of the fiercest adversaries to commercial liberties. I would argue that my fellow libertarians are the only people in the country who truly defend freedom because we defend civil liberties and commercial liberties. Even the flip side of this is deplorable. The Republicans, which from time to time have acted as if they defend commercial liberties, have assaulted civil liberties as well. We have migrated from a two-party system into a one-party system, the big-government party. There's a democratic wing that likes taxes and wealth transfers and assaults on commercial liberties and there's a republican wing that likes war and deficits and assaults uncivil liberties. Neither of them is interested in true freedom. The separation of civil liberties from commercial liberties is what has enabled this to happen.
Daily Bell: What are some of the seminal papers that you have written and where can readers find them?
Judge Napolitano: I guess if you Google my name, you will find them. I have written, in addition to my five books on the Constitution, a couple of dozen papers for websites and daily newspapers. The site that I write most frequently for is lewrockwell.com, in which I catalogue governmental excesses. From time to time, mainstream newspapers will publish what I have written as well – the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, the New York Times and other lesser known but well established mainstream daily newspapers.
Daily Bell: Do you have any final thoughts? Anything you want to say to readers that we didn't ask about?
Judge Napolitano: I have enjoyed this interview. I hope the readers enjoy it as well. The people have to be vigilant about the loss of freedom. They have to press representatives in Congress to justify their behavior. And the camera is the new gun. Whenever you deal with the government, whether it's a janitor or school teacher or a police office or a legislator, you want to film it because that will scare the daylights out of them. The government hates transparency and it hates fresh air and light and fresh air and light is a way to scare it back into its confines.
Daily Bell: Thanks so much for sitting down with us. We respect your terrific presentations on Fox News and elsewhere.

POTSDAM Because of its remote location and sparse population, the north countrys veterans are difficult to communicate with.
That is why in its second iteration, the North Country Veterans Appreciation Day will emphasize dialogue between veterans and the organizations charged with serving them.
Were really doing this for two reasons, said Michael L. Boprey, St. Lawrence County director of veterans services. Before last year, wed never had one, and number two, we hear that veterans were never aware of a benefit or nobody ever told them. It is important to be aware of what your benefits are. It is kind of a one-stop shop for them, get them educated.
The Jan. 5 celebration at Clarkson Universitys student center will feature a series of town hall discussions about what services are available to veterans and how they can be accessed.
Mr. Boprey said he wanted to help veterans understand some of the issues that organizations like the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs face when trying to assist the north country.
They are trying to figure out what the best thing is for a certain area, but it got me thinking that sometimes our veterans come and ask questions about their benefits, he said. With that issue in the forefront, we thought this year we would go ahead and hold town hall meetings.
The town halls will focus on three topics: health care, education and benefits. They also will act as a sounding board to hear the concerns of the regions veterans.
Theres a group in the area, Operation Veterans, who want to do something to improve health care access, Mr. Boprey said. Our veterans have legitimate, valid concerns and maybe they can force some change to the VA. We hope that will be the start of something that will springboard into making an improvement.
This years event was at the Cheel Arena in June. Mr. Boprey said the event was moved to January to avoid schedule conflicts and to try to build momentum for awareness of veterans issues.
Were just trying something new, he said. It gives us some breathing room to plan for the 2014 event.
The celebration has been renamed from the St. Lawrence County Veterans Appreciation Day, in hopes of attracting veterans from Franklin and Jefferson counties. The organizers also hope to lure some U.S. military veterans living in Canada back across the border, Mr. Boprey said.
By all means, they may not be citizens, but they are U.S. veterans and are entitled to veterans benefits, he said.
This years job fair will not return to the Appreciation Day, said Mr. Boprey, but he said employment for veterans is still an area of concern.
I have seen quite a few veterans return and take advantage of their education benefits, but we also need to pay attention to our economy and our job market, he said. Without jobs, what do we do for them when they come back to civilian life?
The event will also mark the 60th anniversary of the Korean War.
Were trying to make more of an appreciation day out of it, Mr. Boprey said. Our veterans are aging, the population is aging and we want to thank them for their service.
Every veteran who pre-registers will receive a ticket to that evenings Clarkson or St. Lawrence university hockey games.
Mr. Boprey said he hopes the event will bring in newly discharged veterans.
Im constantly asked by my legislators about whether we are seeing a lot of returning veterans, but it is hard to gauge that because they arent counted in the veterans census until they are out of the military, he said. Furthermore, we dont have a good idea of who in the area is going into the military.
The North Country Veterans Appreciation Day will be held from 1 to 4:30 p.m. Jan. 5 at Clarkson Universitys Student Center. All veterans wishing to attend should preregister at the events website: http://www.northcountryveterans.com.

KODIAK, Alaska (AP) - A Coast Guardsman in Kodiak who went hiking over the weekend is the subject of a search.
Alaska State Troopers say Derek Winn Russell of Hollis Center, Maine, was last seen at 10 a.m. Saturday as he hiked from the Coast Guard base to trails on Mount Barometer.
The Kodiak Daily Mirror reports the Coast Guard and Kodiak Island Search and Rescue are searching for the hiker.
Russell is assigned to the Coast Guard Cutter Munro.
Trooper Boyd Branch says Russell reported missing at 6 p.m. Sunday.
Foul weather initially kept aircraft grounded but an air search began Monday morning.
Searchers say fresh snow obscured footprints in the search area.

These are not empty words. I, Doug Stanhope, am offering you, Bristol Palin, the sum of 25,000 dollars so that you can abort your child and move out of that draconian home. I have also set up a PayPal link so that others around the world can help increase this amount to ease the burden of starting out on your own at such an early age.Stanhope goes on to say that, should Bristol be unable to accept, the money will still be put to use:
Even if you cannot take my offer, I will still use my money or money donated through this page to pay for at least one abortion for a disadvantaged teenage girl each year for the rest of my life in the name of your mother. And in my will, I shall have a good portion of my estate turned into the Sarah J Palin Abortion Fund that will help girls from all walks of life from destroying their lives and our natural resources by having children.Save your outrage for some other target, because Stanhope trades in the outrageous. There's nowhere for you to complain to get him in trouble. In fact, such complaints would probably help him get more bookings, not fewer.

For Immediate Release, February 2, 2001
Contact: Chris Marshall
Today the President committed to sign a series of Executive Orders directing agencies across the federal government to take actions to move toward the goals in the overall package.
The President's orders are consistent with his "New Freedom" speech on the rights of people with disabilities, delivered in Portland, Maine on June 15, 2000. They build on the foundations of the landmark 1999 Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health and offer hope for change in a mental healthcare system that is grossly inadequate.
NAMI welcomes the appointment of a National Commission on Mental Illness Treatment Services to study and make recommendations for improvement in the availability and delivery of services, including new technologies. NAMI strongly urges that the National Commission adopt the approach and priorities of a similar commission proposal contained in S..2639, legislation introduced last year by Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA).
Intended to promote early intervention and scientific, evidence-based treatment for children and adults with severe mental illnesses, several provisions of S.2639 already have been enacted. The President now has a significant opportunity to build on the tradition of bipartisan cooperation in Congress on mental illness issues, by adopting the framework of S.2639's provisions.
NAMI also welcomes the President's executive orders to implement fully the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (TWIIA) enacted in 1999, and to help states move to comply with the U.S. Supreme Court's Olmstead decision that same year.
Together, they offer hope of greater independence and community integration for people with psychiatric disabilities. The President has committed his administration to supporting the removal of unfair barriers to people with serious mental illnesses living and working in local communities.
The President's actions offer hope for change in our mental healthcare systems, hope for effective treatment, hope for recoveries, and hope for the future for millions of Americans.
More detailed information on President Bush's "New Freedom Initiative" is included below.
At a White House ceremony today, President Bush released a series of policy initiatives designed to assist people with disabilities, including children and adults with severe mental illnesses, in achieving greater independence and community integration. The President's "New Freedom Initiative" was originally proposed during last year's election campaign. Today the President signed a series of Executive Orders directing agencies across the federal government to take actions to move toward the goals in the overall package. These Presidential orders apply only to the executive branch and thus do not require congressional action.
The "New Freedom Initiative" contains over a dozen separate goals all designed to improve educational, employment, housing and community support opportunities for people with disabilities. Among the highlights are a pledge that the new Administration will fully enforce the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). The proposal also reiterates the President's plan to seek full funding of the federal commitment special education under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and seek increased investment in assistive technology. The full text of the White House announcement can be viewed at http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/
Of particular concern to NAMI are the establishment of a new national commission on mental illness treatment services, a pledge to fully implement the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (TWWIIA) and a plan to assist states in complying with the Supreme Court's Olmstead decision.
1) National Commission on Mental Illness Treatment Services
The Executive Order the President committed to sign today will establish a National Commission on Mental Health Services. The Commission will "study and make recommendations for improving America's mental health service delivery system, including making recommendations on the availability and delivery of new treatments and technologies for individuals with severe mental illness."
NAMI strongly endorses this action by President Bush. Although other parts of the Executive Order refer primarily to coordination among Federal agencies, there is a profound need for this broader examination of the mental health services system. Public services to treat mental illness are largely a function of state and local governments; however, current Federal policies heavily influence these state and local programs. Any commission examining mental health services should study the entire system of funding and service delivery.
The details of the commission's membership and charge have not yet been specified. NAMI recommends that the commission be modeled on last year's bipartisan proposal put forward by Senators Pete Domenici (R-NM) and Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA). NAMI was involved in the formulation of this proposal, contained in the Mental Health Early Intervention, Treatment and Prevention Act (S 2639), that would have authorized a commission to examine diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation and hospitalization of individuals with mental illness and make recommendations on model state legislation based on their findings. The scope of the commission envisioned in S 2639 also included a) a review of the 1999 Surgeon General's Report on Mental Health, b) examination of the interaction between mental illness and criminal justice, c) a review of the effectiveness and results of state laws governing outpatient and inpatient involuntary treatment, and d) a study the use of psychiatric advance directives (on these two latter issues, the commission was to be charged with making recommendations for model state legislation).
The commission proposed by Senators Domenici and Kennedy also required representation from specific federal agencies (NIMH, CMHS), state and local officials (state mental health commissioner, judge, prosecutor, etc.), and stakeholders (consumer, family member, professionals, etc.). Thus, President Bush has a unique opportunity to follow through on the bipartisan groundwork established in Congress last year.
In January 2000, NAMI reviewed an analysis of mental health systems reform prepared for the Bush Campaign. Policy recommendations from this document have been included in the President's New Freedom Initiative and in the objectives of the new commission.

2) TWWIIA Implementation
In 1999, Congress enacted important legislation designed to address the complex and unfair disincentives against employment in Social Security's income support and health programs (SSI, SSDI, Medicaid and Medicare). Because the Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act (TWWIIA) stretches across several of the federal government's most complicated programs and most cumbersome agencies, implementation has been far from simple. For example, the provisions governing extended Medicaid coverage for SSI beneficiaries seeking to enter the workforce depend on state adoption of new buy-in programs. Further, an examination of the proposed rules for Social Security's "ticket" program finds that there are numerous barriers preventing individuals with mental illness from using the program. All of these difficult implementation issues have been left for the new Bush Administration to grapple with. NAMI's most recent alert on implementation of TWWIIA can be found at http://www.nami.org/update/001228.html
Today, President Bush committed to sign an Executive Order that directs all the federal agencies involved (including Social Security and HCFA) to swiftly implement TWWIIA. NAMI strongly supports this action and urges that the new Administration pay specific attention to the flaws in Social Security's proposed "ticket" regulations to ensure that adults with severe mental illness are fully able to use the new program. NAMI also urges the Bush Administration to push for participation by the states in TWWIIA's Medicaid buy-in programs.
3) State Implementation of the Olmstead Decision
In June 1999, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a landmark ruling (Olmstead v. L.C.) stating that the ADA obligates states to provide community placement for individuals with severe disabilities wherever possible. States are now in the process developing plans to bring their public mental illness and mental retardation systems into compliance with the decision. The Executive Order committed to be signed by the President today states the Administration's support community integration and the removal of barriers to community placement. To promote state compliance with Olmstead, the Executive Order directs federal agencies (including NIMH and SAMHSA) to coordinate research and pilot programs to make public mental health agencies more accountable through outcome measures.. NAMI strongly supports this initiative, particularly its focus on accountability for public mental health agencies. In NAMI's view, this goal is best achieved through replication of evidence-based, recovery-oriented service delivery models such as the Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT).
4) Homeownership Initiative
President Bush's "New Freedom Initiative" contains a proposal to allow Public Housing Authorities (PHAs) to offer people with disabilities receiving Section 8 tenant-based rental assistance a homeownership option. This option would allow disabled recipients of Section 8 to use up to a year's worth of their voucher in a lump sum payment to finance the downpayment or closing cost on a home. A nearly identical proposal was enacted by Congress as part of a housing authorization bill that was signed into law in December 2000.
While NAMI supports efforts to increase homeownership among people with disabilities, questions remain as to whether this is a viable option for non-elderly adults with severe disabilities. On average, monthly SSI benefits are less than 20% of area median income - far below any reasonable standard for homeownership in nearly every housing market. Several homeownership pilot programs for people with disabilities developed in recent years have proven ineffective in reaching households below 30% of median income, let alone down to the incomes of SSI beneficiaries.
Instead of focusing limited federal housing resources on homeownership, NAMI has been urging HUD to place greater emphasis on rental housing and support services as the answer for assisting non-elderly adults with severe disabilities to achieve greater independence and community integration. Specifically, NAMI has been supporting more funding for the HUD Section 811 program, additional Section 8 vouchers for people with disabilities, a new rental housing production at HUD that focuses on supportive housing, and preservation of existing stock of affordable rental housing.

Republican Brand Hurts Romney While Obama Wins Culture Wars
July 10, 2012 - 1:14 pm
Here is a line of questioning I emailed a handful of friends and family spread across the nation, some in battleground states, who I know voted for Obama in 2008 and who I assumed were planning on voting for him again:
Are there any circumstances you can imagine that would cause you to vote against Obama and vote for Romney instead?
Is there anything Obama could do or say? For example, how about a negative change in your personal job situation or if the unemployment rate reached 14%?
Anything at all that would move you to change your vote away from Obama?
For the record, the demographics of this group are as follows:
All are in their 30' and married; some have children.
They are all white, college-educated, and gainfully employed.
Here are the answers I received via email.
Answer #1
To answer the questions, no, there is nothing Obama could do to ever have me vote for Romney or any other Republican. EVER. I vote Democratic for the platform of women's rights, pro-choice, the environment, the separation of church and state, which seems in jeopardy if Republicans have their way.
I do not trust Romney at all. He is a flip-flopper and says what he thinks his crowd wants to hear. There are more issues to being president than getting people jobs, and I am sick of that being the only focus. So, I would NEVER vote Republican.
Answer #2
Nope, there really is nothing that could get me to switch from Obama to Romney. I really don't consider myself blindly loyal; I would support a moderate Republican over a weaker non-Obama Democratic candidate (like Huntsman for example), who is willing to be bi-partisan and have some damn common sense.
I just strongly dislike Romney and am nothing short of horrified at anyone supporting a constitutional amendment to TAKE AWAY people's rights (especially for a party who supposedly wants minimal government intervention into society, that is a blatantly hypocritical thing to support), not to mention open and callous contempt for scientific fact and freedom of religion, along with a mean-spirited, childlike unwillingness to compromise and get things done in favor of a desire to unseat someone who has been trying to compromise in a bipartisan fashion.
Oh, and not to mention complete flip-flopping on most issues and distancing himself from his state's obviously successful healthcare reform, which is magnified by an almost comical wonkish, old-money, out-of-touch elitist attitude dripping from nearly every word that comes out of his mouth.
The longer the Republicans try to cater to their extreme fringe right and support backwards, short-sighted, bigoted social policies, the more sensible moderates–BOTH Democrat and Republican–they're going to alienate. It's saddening that GOP campaigns feel like they have to garner the support of the most fanatical minority instead of listening to the majority of people in their own party who just want a little fiscal responsibility and to leave more things for the states to decide.
Not to open a political debate — Lord knows we've had enough of that — but I hope you will pass on that sentiment, which is shared by millions of sensible hardworking Americans, to your focus group.

Fight Back Against the Radical GOP
There are just too many Republicans in Washington with appallingly anti-woman, anti-family records. And there are just as many Democratic women waiting in the wings, ready to run against these guys. That's why EMILY's List is putting these guys "On Notice."
Washington is no place for radical, anti-choice men who refuse to do what's best for women and families in their districts.
If you agree, join EMILY's List and help us send them packing!
I pledge to fight back against the radical GOP.

We've all heard about morning sickness, middle-of-the-night cravings for pickles and ice cream, and mood swings. But what about the more unexpected side to expecting? Here are five bizarre pregnancy symptoms that are in fact totally normal.
Alejandra was blessed with a pretty non-eventful pregnancy…until the day she and her husband Chris noticed that their toilet seat (usually a standard porcelain white) was starting to turn blue. "We both thought it was weird and blamed the other for the change of color, but [there was] no real explanation," says Alejandra. "Then I noticed that the bluish hue had turned into a deeper blue and was now covering most of the seat." So what was causing it? "One day I was making our bed," continues Alejandra, "and I noticed that just my side had this bluish color on the sheets. So of course my reaction was 'What the hell?!'" Turns out Alejandra isn't alone. The Internet is rife with similarly baffled-sounding postings from pregnant women who have turned their toilet seats blue, purple or pink. Often, mothers-to-be will leave behind a perfect imprint of their, well, behinds. And it's a good thing they have the Internet to reassure them. "In my 32 years in practice, I have never heard this complaint!" says Nancy Kraus, Licensed Midwife at Downtown Women Ob-Gyn Associates in New York City, who wonders if the colorful imprints could come from the "dye used in prenatal vitamins." It could also be blamed on hormones—and why not, since they're the cause of so much other bodily mayhem during pregnancy. Whatever the cause, this unusual symptom seems harmless enough, and sure makes for a better story than stretch marks.
Read Related: 5 Weird Things That Happened to Me After I had a Baby
I have always had dainty feet…until I became pregnant with my son and none of my shoes seemed to fit anymore. The warm weather was approaching, so I switched to some old flip-flops, but it was like trying to squeeze into my 7-year-old stepdaughter's pair. It wasn't until my mom treated me to a new pair of shoes that it dawned on me: not only was my belly bigger, I was now a whole shoe size bigger! Foot growth is another pregnancy symptom that's a little hard to believe. There's two perfectly normal reasons behind it: One is plain old pregnancy swelling, and the other is a pregnancy hormone called relaxin, which "loosens the ligaments and joints around your pelvis so your baby can fit through," according to What To Expect. "Relaxin doesn't discriminate between the ligaments you'd want loosened up (like those pelvic ones) and those you'd rather they'd just leave alone (like those on your feet)." Some expectant moms may find that their feet shrink back to normal after they give birth; others—like me—find that their new normal is permanently bigger tootsies.
A pregnant woman who has a sudden urge for Taco Bell at 3a.m.? Perfectly normal. Another who has an equally urgent desire to gobble down handfuls of dirt? Also normal, believe it or not. Known as pica, craving inedible substances isn't as common as the standard hankering for pickles and ice cream, but it is a recognized pregnancy symptom. According to the American Pregnancy Association, "some speculate that pica cravings are the body's attempt to obtain vitamins or minerals that are missing through normal food consumption." These cravings should be avoided, even with substances that seem harmless. "Eating non-food substances may interfere with the nutrient absorption of healthy food substances and actually cause a deficiency," reports the APA, and can also be a problem because "non-food items may contain toxic or parasitic ingredients." Tell your doctor about any pica cravings you might be experiencing; he or she can help address any nutritional or emotional issues that might be causing this unusual, but normal pregnancy symptom.
Mood swings might have an expectant mom acting bitchy, but what's causing her to feel so darn itchy? "I expected my belly to itch," says Eladia. "After all, the skin on my stomach was stretching to accommodate my growing baby. But my elbows? The palms of my hands? It kept me up at night." Behold, another common pregnancy symptom that can also be blamed on hormones. According to BabyCenter, "This common condition may be caused by an increase in estrogen. It usually disappears right after delivery." In addition, "You may also find that things that normally make you itchy—dry skin, eczema, food allergies—make you even itchier when you're pregnant." It's a good idea to mention any itchiness to your doctor, as there can be some underlying conditions behind the symptom. These conditions can include a rash known as PUPP (pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy), bumps known as prurigo of pregnancy, and cholestasis, a liver disease specific to pregnancy. The latter may sound alarming, but it is treatable and "usually goes away within a few days after delivery," according to the American Pregnancy Association.
Recently, my partner Joe told me that my "jimmy legs" were keeping him up at night. The phrase is a cute way of referring to a pregnancy symptom known as restless leg syndrome (RLS), described by What To Expect as an "uncomfortable and disconcerting tingling, creeping, and crawling in the feet and legs accompanied by an urge to move the legs, especially noticeable as you're trying to get to sleep." If it sounds disruptive, that's because it is. Not just to the pregnant mom who's desperate for sleep, but for her bed partner, as well. Unfortunately, it's not really treatable. "The usual treatments for leg cramps—flexing and stretching—don't work, and medications that might relieve the restlessness are off-limits during pregnancy," reports What To Expect. As with other symptoms, do mention it to your doctor since some believe that RLS can be related to iron deficiency anemia.
