Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the Honors and Scholars Program?
The primary goal of the Honors and Scholars Program is to ensure that our best students have an intellectually enriching and challenging experience as undergraduates, and to reward academic excellence. To do this, the program offers special honors courses open only to Honors and Scholars participants, special sections of some other courses, and opportunities for cultural and recreational activities such as free opera and museum tickets, trips to Busch Gardens and Colonial Williamsburg, banquets, etc.
The Program allows honors students to go beyond the usual disciplinary boundaries of a subject, to develop individualized approaches to existing classes, and to increase one-on-one interaction with professors.
The Honors and Scholars Program also benefits the Virginia Wesleyancommunity as a whole, by creating a greater awareness of scholarly achievement on campus, providing a model of honor within the community, sponsoring programs that raise the level of intellectual engagement and discourse on campus, and offering professors the chance to develop courses that will excite them as much as they do the students.
Why would I want to be in the program?
Aside from the highfalutin' talk of intellectual enrichment above, there are many mundane (if still important) reasons to be in the Honors and Scholars Program:
- Early registration -Honors and Scholars are able to pre-register for classes before any other students, including seniors.
- Honors Hall Eligibility - Honors and Scholars have the opportunity to live in the Honors Hall, two wings of one of the best dormitories on campus. Features include an improved studying environment and funds available for activities and for improving the common areas.
- Activities - Each semester the Honors and Scholars group plans social events, enjoys a catered banquet, performs public service projects, invites prestigious guest speakers, and more. Past activities have included dolphin watching excursions and trips to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens.
- Financial Aid - Students holding the top Wesleyan Scholarships are required to maintain membership in the program as a condition of continuing to hold their scholarships.
- Résumés - Graduating as a Wesleyan or Presidential Scholar (see below for the distinction) is noted on your permanent transcript, and looks great to future graduate schools and employers.
How do I apply for the Honors and Scholars Program?
There are 2 ways to get in to the Honors and Scholars Program:
- Some entering freshmen are automatically included by virtue of the scholarship they hold. If you hold a Wesleyan, Batten, Wilson, or Trustee Scholarship, you are already part of the program (and, in fact, our top scholarship students must remain in the program to keep their full scholarships).
- Any student who has earned the minimum GPA is invited to apply to the program. You must have a 3.4 GPA and get 2 brief recommendations from faculty members. These recommendations can be sent by e-mail to Dr. Easter. Students can apply to the program as soon as they have grades from courses taken at Virginia Wesleyan College on their transcript (so, at the earliest, at the end of your first semester here, or as soon as your GPA is high enough). If your GPA is a 3.5 or higher you may enter the program with the intention of graduating as a Wesleyan Scholar.
How do I challenge a course for Honors?
Each semester several special honors courses, or honors sections of existing courses, will be listed in the Course Schedule under a special Honors and Scholars section. In addition, students may opt to challenge for honors credit any 300- or 400-level class of 3 credits or greater. Permission must be attained from the Honors and Scholars director to challenge a 100- or 200- level class. To challenge a course for Honors credit, the student must request an Honors Course Proposal form from Dr. Easter (or use the electronic form available on the Honors web page), to be filled out in conjunction with the professor teaching the course to be challenged. The form is a kind of contract in which the professor and student agree on what work will be performed in addition to what other students in the class are doing, but more importantly how this work creates a higher intellectual challenge for the student. Often students will challenge a course for honors as a way of pursuing individual research projects in their major. Course proposals are due at the end of the second week of classes in the given semester so that the committee may review all proposals in a timely fashion.

|ATP is released from rabbit urinary bladder epithelial cells by hydrostatic pressure changes--a possible sensory mechanism?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9423189 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|1. The responses of rabbit urinary bladder to hydrostatic pressure changes and to electrical stimulation have been investigated using both the Ussing chamber and a superfusion apparatus. These experiments enabled us to monitor changes in both ionic transport across the tissue and cellular ATP release from it. 2. The urinary bladder of the rabbit maintains an electrical potential difference across its wall as a result largely of active sodium transport from the urinary (mucosal) to the serosal surface. 3. Small hydrostatic pressure differences produced by removal of bathing fluid from one side of the tissue caused reproducible changes in both potential difference and short-circuit current. The magnitude of these changes increases as the volume of fluid removed increases. 3. Amiloride on the mucosal (urinary), but not the serosal, surface of the membrane reduces the transepithelial potential difference and short-circuit current with an IC50 of 300 nM. Amiloride reduces the size of, but does not abolish, transepithelial potential changes caused by alterations in hydrostatic pressure. 4. Field electrical stimulation of strips of bladder tissue produces a reproducible release of ATP. Such release was demonstrated to occur largely from urothelial cells and is apparently non-vesicular as it increases in the absence of calcium and is not abolished by tetrodotoxin. 5. It is proposed that ATP is released from the urothelium as a sensory mediator for the degree of distension of the rabbit urinary bladder and other sensory modalities.

Big Library Read for Adults
You've probably noticed that many new and returning television series have their roots in the comic book world. Whether the shows are strictly based on certain titles (most aren't) or inspired by characters and worlds originally created by comics writers and artists, you can enrich your viewing experience by delving into the backstory of your new favorite hero or antihero.
Here's a list of some TV to comics ties and suggestions for reading to get you started:
Introducing ideaLAB: adult swim!
Starting September 2, we'll be kicking the kids out of the pool on Tuesday nights, and will be welcoming adults for the first time into our digital media open lab.
The lab is staffed and set up so you can start creating stuff in one or any of six program tracks: music, web design, art & design, game design, video, and electronics.
So come hang out, sign up to use our 3D printers or our recording studio, learn to program an Arduino, and learn to make some cool stuff.
Hanako Ngalame comes many times each week to story times, craft times, and Plaza with her mom and siblings. She is growing up in the library, just like her brothers and sisters.
In the next picture you can see many of the sixteen people who participated in the pastel art workshop, presented by local artist Tony Ortega from the Art Students League of Denver.
You can also see people working on other projects. Three children were playing with our toys, and another two were making puzzles in the background. Four adults were working on computers, three of them looking for places to rent and one creating a resume. One man was getting help with the homework for his English class.
Every five years, the Young Adult Library Services Association creates a list of Outstanding Books for the College Bound and Lifelong Learners in collaboration with academic librarians.
Whether you are a high school student thinking of heading off to college soon, an adult considering returning to school, or at any stage in your life and wanting some direction in your continuing education, the 2014 list is a diverse group of books, nonfiction and fiction, in various categories, that will expand your thoughts about the world around you. The books are at different reading levels and in different formats, and there's something here that should both interest and challenge nearly anyone interested in feeding their mind.
As we all get used to writing "2014" as the date, here is a last look back at some of the notable authors we lost in 2013. Their words will long endure.
Chinua Achebe--Nigerian writer who died at age 82. His most famous work is Things Fall Apart (1958).
Iain Banks--Scottish author of both contemporary and science fiction.
Tom Clancy--popular author of espionage and military thrillers. His classic works include The Hunt for Red October and other books starring CIA operative Jack Ryan.
Have you ever wondered if (or hoped you could) borrow video games from the Denver Public Library?
Well, you can! In this blog, I will be showing you step by step how to order video games through the Denver Public Library.
I've made a video with commentary in order to help you in your pursuit of happiness. Also, I uploaded a fun video.
P.S. You can also order video games through prospector, the steps are the same as if you're ordering a game through Inter Library Loan. The only difference is the layout of the website and how you enter your information for requesting the item.
April is National Poetry Month, and April 18 is Poem in Your Pocket Day!

Poets.org has a web page dedicated to Poem in Your Pocket Day. There are poems on the site that you can download and print for your pockets, along with other great resources about poets and poetry!
Since no two individuals experience stress in the same way, people disagree on a good definition.
In our fast-paced, hurried society it is difficult to avoid having stress in our lives. Some stress helps us aim high and reach our potential. Too much stress can cause us to become depressed and even sick.
Play is often thought as frivolous and only for children, but The National Institute for Play founded by Stuart Brown, M.D. recognizes that it is important for the productivity and health of all humans. There are thousands of ways to play both individually and with others.
Below find a few resources on play and stress reduction.
Fresh City Life is Denver's best date night!
Since 2004, Fresh City Life events and programs have offered many ways to become acquainted with Denver's vibrant and intellectual organizations, groups and individuals. One of the comments that I hear most often from people after attending an event is (and I'm paraphrasing), "Thanks for giving me the opportunity to spend time with my community."

Credit Where Credit Is Due
Special one-time federal excise tax credit in 2006 rebates tax overpayment on phone bills.
[Collected via e-mail, 2006]
When it comes time to prepare and file your 2006 tax return, make sure you don't overlook the "federal excise tax refund credit." You claim the credit on
line 71
of your form 1040. A similar line will be available if you file the short form 1040A. If you have family or friends who no longer file a tax return AND they have their own land phone in their home and have been paying a phone bill for years, make sure they know about this form
What is this all about? Well the federal excise tax has been charged to you on your phone bill for years. It is an old tax that was assessed on your toll calls based on how far the call was being made and how much time you talked on that call. When phone companies began to offer flat fee phone service, challenges to the excise tax ended up in federal courts in several districts of the country. The challenges pointed out that flat fee/rate phone service had nothing to do with the distance and the length of the phone call. Therefore, the excise tax should/could not be assessed.
The IRS has now conceded this argument. Phone companies have been given notice to stop assessing the federal excise tax as of
Aug 30,
2006. You will most likely see the tax on your September cutoff statement, but it should NOT be on your October bill.
But the challengers of the old law also demanded restitution. So the IRS has announced that a one time credit will be available when you and I file our 2006 tax return as I explained above. However, the IRS also established limits on how BIG a credit you can get. Here 's how it works.
If you file your return as a single person with just you as a dependent, you get to claim a $30 credit on
line 71
of your 1040.
If you file with a child or a parent as your dependent, you claim $40.
If you file your return as a married couple with no children, you claim $40.
If you file as married with children, you claim $50 if one child, $60 if two children.
In all cases, the most you get to claim is $60 - UNLESS you have all your phone bills starting AFTER
Feb 28,
2003 through
July 31,
2006 (do not use any bills starting
Aug 1,
2006.), then you can add up the ACTUAL TAX AS IT APPEARS ON YOUR BILLS AND CLAIM THAT FOR A CREDIT.
Now if you have your actual phone bills and come up with an ACTUAL TAX AMOUNT, you cannot use
line 71
on your tax return. You have to complete a special form number 8913 and attach it to your tax return.
Individuals using the special from 1040EZ-T will have to attach this form 8913 also.
One final point - this credit is a refundable credit. That means you get this money, no matter how your tax return works out. If you would end up owing the IRS a balance, the refund will reduce that balance you owe. If you end up getting a refund, the credit will be added and you get a bigger refund by that $30 to $60, depending on how many dependents are on your return.
Feel free to pass this on or make copies for family and friends who don't have computers.
In November 2006, the snopes.com inbox began filling with forwards about a tax credit available in 2006 for overpayment of a federal tax charged on phone calls. For once, an Internet forward is on the
there really is such a credit available to taxpayers filing their federal 2006 returns (which most people will submit to the IRS in 2007).
The tax in question, the Federal Excise Tax, was first imposed in 1898 to help fund the Spanish-American War. One of the things it taxed was
telephone service, which at that time was something only the very wealthy had, so this levy served as a luxury tax charged only to those who could easily afford it.
The war ended and the bills for it were settled up, but the tax stayed in place. Over time, as telephone use spread to the masses, what had begun as a charge against the very wealthy for a frippery they could easily have done without became a charge against just about everyone for a service that had come to be regarded as vital.
The tax was levied against charges accruing to long distance calls, which until recently were primarily determined by a formula based on call length and the distance between conversing parties. That mode of establishing the price of calls has mostly been supplanted by the practice of basing long distance charges on minutes alone, with no regard to the physical distance the calls travel. Opponents to the tax asserted that shift made the tax invalid, and the courts finally agreed with them.
In May 2006, after losing a series of federal court cases, the Internal Revenue Service said it would no longer collect the
3 percent
tax and ordered telephone companies to stop charging it by
1 August
Taxpayers are eligible to claim a refund of the long-distance tax billed for any phone service (cell, fax, computer or land line) in the
period from
28 February
2003 through
31 July
On its web site, the IRS
the refund and how to apply for it. Additional information can be found by following the links offered on its
Telephone Excise Tax
In a nutshell, rather than ask everyone to comb through their phone bills for that
period to add up all the tax collected
and then submit claims for those amounts, the IRS will offer taxpayers standard refunds of between $30 and $60 (the amount depends on the composition of the household) that they can apply for simply by entering the refund amount appropriate to them on a particular line on their 2006 tax returns. Those who wish to go it the long way by adding everything up to emerge with the precise figure owed them may do so, but in their case applying for the refund will require them to complete and file
Form 8913
with their returns.
This is a one-time tax credit, so those who fail to file for it on their 2006 returns will likely lose their shot at claiming it. It therefore makes very good sense to let your friends, neighbors, and
know about this opportunity, lest they otherwise miss it. The only mystery in all this lies in the question of why the Internet drums only started to beat about this in November 2006, when the refund was announced in May 2006, a full six months earlier.

Hey.I was wondering whether it would be worth my time trying to transfer--my fiance is starting dental school in NY, Penn or MD next year and I am in LA at USC. I really want to move near him, but not at the expense of going to a worse school. I just got my first semester grades and i have a 3.4 which i think is top 25%--do you think there is a chance i could get into NYU, CLS, GULC or penn??Any advice would be wonderful! thanks
is there a GENERAL class rank scale that one might need to transfer from T4-T3, or T3-T2 etc.? e.g., top 1/3 from T4-T3, top 1/10 from T4-T2 etc?...
do you mean to get into T-1? what about T-4 to T-3, or T-3 to T-2-- would they expect top 10% also? i was thinking maybe they just wanted like top 1/3 or top 1/4 to move from the bottom of the law school barrel to slightly higher than the bottom (T-4 to T-3).

Tres Palmas, Puerto Rico - Discovery and stewardship of waves
December 17 2012 | Water, Chapters, Waves, Water Quality, Surfing,
It's hard to credit a single individual with discovering a wave. This is the case because many times surfers simply don't share their discoveries.
The above said Duke Michael is one of the people associated with "discovering" Tres Palmas in Puerto Rico.
In case you've never been to this part of the world, or haven't surfed Tres Palmas... check out these images. Tres is considered by some to be the east coast's version of Oahu's Sunset Beach.
The real story here though is with the image to the left.
Nicolas Michael is Duke's son and he's posting water quality test results for Tres Palmas and the surrounding areas in Rincon, P.R.
I love that loop.
A father discovers a natural wonder and decades later, his son works to preserve it. All the while they both surf it.
Perfect loop.

Galilee Diary #207November 14, 2004 Marc J. Rosenstein
And when the creatures moved forward, the wheels moved at their sides; and when the creatures were borne above the earth, the wheels were borne too. Wherever the spirit impelled them to go, they went wherever the spirit impelled them and the wheels were borne alongside them; for the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels. When those moved, these moved; and when those stood still, these stood still; and when those were borne above the earth, the wheels were borne alongside them for the spirit of the creatures was in the wheels.
-Ezekiel 1:19-21
Our daughter having graduated college and started her independent life working in a rural community in the Golan Heights, the time had come for her to buy her first car. While the Egged bus company does run routes to every outlying kibbutz and village, these tend to be links between the periphery and the major cities and to run very infrequently (for example, the only buses serving Shorashim, which lies on a fairly major highway, are two early morning routes to Haifa and Tel Aviv, and one bus back from Tel Aviv in the evening. There is no service between here and the nearby towns, nor to the train station in Acco). I am a bit of a nut about the obligation to use public transportation but out here, it is hopeless. We all came to the rural Galilee for the quality of life, but by doing so, of course, we contribute to its destruction.
Most used car sales in Israel are accomplished by the seller driving around with a home-made sign stuck inside the left rear window, with basic facts, encouraging words, and a phone number. The whole family scouted parking lots, yelled to drivers in the next lane at a red light, and drowned in advice from friends both knowledgeable and ignorant. When The Daughter, having gotten to know the market by following up on a number of prospects, found what seemed a good candidate, she made an appointment to meet the seller at a testing station. For about $100 (paid by the buyer), one can have a professional put the car through a complete set of computer and road tests and give the buyer and seller a detailed review of its performance. This gamble can help one side or the other in negotiations, or at least help eliminate too many surprises. In our case, it was mainly for reassurance, as the prospect was an 11-year old subcompact with 90,000 miles. The book value, which was the final price, was nearly $4,000.
It seems that despite all the liberalizations of the Israeli economy over recent decades, the tax on new cars remains a high percentage of the price. If this is intended to discourage private car ownership, it boggles the imagination to think what the country would look like without such a policy not even the most peripheral regions are free of frustrating, choking traffic jams, and the cities are overwhelmed by parking chaos (if you dont find a spot, just leave the car anywhere on the sidewalk, in the aisles of the lot
). And if the price of the car isnt daunting enough, The Daughter, who loves her new wheeled independence, is discovering to her dismay the ongoing cost of that independence at nearly $5.00 a gallon. Visitors often ask, when confronted with these numbers, how so many people with normal salaries manage to buy new cars and fuel and maintain them. Indeed, I ask the same question myself as I sit in traffic in the middle of the pastoral Galilee. I have never succeeded in figuring out the answer.
I remember my gym teacher in ninth grade warning us: getting a car is the end of every good athlete (not that he had anything to worry about in my case my prospects for either were exactly zero). It seems that the irresistible temptation of the private car the sense of independence, of infinite possibilities, of power exacts not only a personal price in resources, risks, and health, but has far-reaching negative impacts on community and on quality of life for the entire society. In North America, the wide open spaces have absorbed and masked some of these impacts; here in crowded Israel, they are in your face all the time. We cant live without our cars but it is not clear if we as a country can live with them either.

A protester questioned Thompson's conservatism Wednesday.
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) – A woman screaming "you're not a real conservative, sir" was removed by police from a welcoming reception for likely GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson Wednesday morning. A second protester was also taken from the room.
Houston police officers escorted the woman — as well as a man — from the hangar at Hobby Airport, where Thompson was shaking hands with a crowd of supporters. They were not arrested.
The woman questioned Thompson as he talked to reporters. She asked him why he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and noted that the organization supported the North American Union with Canada and Mexico.
After the woman interrupted Thompson by questioning his conservative credentials, the likely candidate said, "Don't fuss at me. You asked me a question. Let me answer it." He told the woman, "I try to learn as much as I can from all viewpoints."
Later, she shouted at Thompson as the news conference ended. Police officers took her outside a fenced area near the hangar, and stood with her until the former Tennessee senator departed.
Editor's Note: In the comments section below (#4), the woman has identified herself as a member of the group "Houston 9/11 Truth." In a video of the incident linked on her blog, she is also heard charging the attack in New York on 9/11 was a "inside job."
- CNN Political Desk Manager Steve Brusk
Go to this web site to compare Thompson's voting record to that of Ron Paul. Then you will see who the REAL conservative is.
Way to prove your objectivity Mr. CNN. Very subtle how you left out the woman's entire quote, including the bit about world trade center seven and an 'inside job'. She is so obviously a pompous rouge liberal at the very least or a Democratic party operative in the worst case. She's likely one of those Moveon.org rabble or Code Pink idiots. No conservative would ever spout such seditious drivel that the likes of Rosie O'Donnell and the Professor Charlie Sheen. But I suppose that's to be expected from the propaganda wing of the Democratic party, oops, I mean 'free press'.
Bush is also in favor of the NAU. Does this mean Bush is not a true conservative?
Bush is not a true conservative, he teamed up with Teddy Kennedy to write the education bill. He created a huge new unfunded entitlement program (senior drug program). He doesn't care enough about the security of the nation to secure the borders of this country.
I love the "don't fuss at me". The first thing that caught my eye with this guy is he gives straight answers and doesn't speak DIPLO-double-talk. I'm so sick of these politicians who "sound articulate and presidential" answering a question for 2 minutes and not even getting to specifics which could be said by Newt or Fred in 20 seconds.
As usual, the Ron Paul shills are thick tonight. The man has some good ideas, but for crying out loud, he hasn't a SHOT at winning the general election. He's like a whiny little Kucinich type. Like a little rat. "Ehh, ehh, they attacked us on 9/11 because of our presence in the Middle East". Give me a break.
I wonder how many liberals are out there commenting or 'activating' on conservative candidates, or potential candidates, in order to hopefully split the vote enough to allow the Democrat Party a better shot at a win in '08? Ron Paul and Mike Gravel seem to be unlikely, sorry attempts to this end. It is way to early to even consider, much less attempt to be, a political party nominee for president. The majority of people in this country, silent or otherwise, have much more important things to attend to than wasting time listening to bloviating idiots on the campaign trail or on meaningless posts on websites like this opining on events almost a year and a half before an election.
this lady is a whack job. her website that she tells us to link to is one of those 9/11 conspiracy websites. if she is for the first ammendment so much, i am sure she will be happy i am sharing my views. i think she is a traitor to say the u.s. govt. was involved in 9/11. i am ashamed that she is a fellow texan.
Dave does not seem to understand that acting is an honest occupation. George Murphy became a US Senator. Gopher became a Congressman from Iowa. Clint Eastwood became the Mayor of Carmel, CA and Sonny Bono became the Mayor of Palm Springs and then a US Congressman. Arnold Schwarzenegger is the Governor of California, as was Ronald Reagan, who then became one of the GREATEST Presidents the USA has ever known. Acting is a valid profession (gee, it's even taught in Leftist universities, isn't it?) and there is no reason to exclude actors from politics. HOLDING SUCH A VIEW IS BIASED, BIGOTED, NARROW-MINDED, JUDGMENTAL, INTOLERANT, UN-AMERICAN, (and completey irrational).
I thought Leftists were supposed to be so darn open-minded. Isn't "tolerance" and "diversity" two of their favorite mantras? Oh, that's right, that demand only applies when Democrat whacky sub-groups aren't being welcomed with open arms into polite society, so the Democrat orders about being "tolerant" and "diverse" only applies to Republicans.
These Ron Paulites are pretty desperate to constantly beat up on Thompson who hasn't even thrown his hat in the ring. "On the other hand Ron Paul has been married for 50 years and is a long time pro-lifer. Why are these "conservatives" backing Thompson?" As the Wizard might say – Ron Paul may be more conservative, but Fred Thompson has one thing that Ron Paul doesn't... CHARISMA. Plus instant name and face recognition, so - like it or not - that's what can attract moderates and even Dems disgusted with the 'Bama-Clinton foodfight.
What is a neo-con ? Well that's PC for a conservative Jew or one sympathetic to them. What is a 'real conservative' ? That's a definition relative to one's belief. What's a clueless moonbat ? Well that's people that toss these bumper-sticker concepts around not having a clue what they are talking about but think it makes them sound 'in the know' to other clueless moonbats.
Fred Thompson is both a fiscal and social conservative on most issues. Certainly more conservative than President Bush is. I care little that partisans of other candidates interrupt public events like spoiled unruly children. BTW, I also like Duncan Hunter & Tom Tancredo. If either of them can get some traction then I could well support either. Until then, I will support the most conservative candidate with the best chance to unite most of the GOP and beat the Democrat Socialist candidate (probably she whose name I shall not speak). Right now that is Fred Thompson.
It's definitely important to see the longer video on Youtube from that lady showing what really happened when she asked about his membership in the CFR. I am very proud and grateful that there are people like her getting out there and asking these questions. These CFR traitors need to be exposed for their treason!
just because he's not a conspiracy theorist or "truther" as you all call it dont mean he wont make a good president . seems to me you want more democrakkk's in office to make things worse
"Free trade" is not the same thing as "free trade agreement." Free trade doesn't need an agreement. An agreement (by agreement) restricts trade on those who are not a part of it (like a small U.S. company lacking the economies of scale to outsource in a third world country). More specifically, NAFTA benefits a lot of people with homes in Nantucket, and it gives jobs to a lot of poor people in MEXICO. It screws the U.S. middle class. But worst of all, it necessitates open borders, which will be the death of us all...unless maybe these CFR-lauding, NAFTA-phantic, armchair economists all move to beautiful Tijuana and sample some free-trade water from the tap. Yeah that will give their stupid fat mouths something else to vomit out.
You liberal freaks are about to loose again. Thats why you have to stupe to new levels. imwithfred.com is the new Presidents web site.
Ill take Fred over any one of the democrats though, thats for damn sure...and they can fuss at me all they want for it
Neo Con Artists destroyed the Conservative movement deliberately, God Help us when the socialists get in.
They will not reverse the freedom eroding laws enacted by the NeoCons.
They are traitors to America and the entire Western World.
Fred Thompson is another one of them. The entire political system of the USA needs to be purged of these traitors, many of them deserve jail time, Plame-Gate, AIPAC-Gate, Abramoff-Gate are just the tip of the iceburg.
Attack Iran, lose all your personal freedoms, that is what it is about.
Destroying us from within.
Communism from within.
Think people.
Let us see what gets edited.
I will report.
"Unjust war, unjust war, his wife dresses like a hollywood celebrity, too much cleavage, wah wah wah!" You pansy libs are pathetic, I absolutely can't wait.
This is crazy. She asked him about his membership in the CFR, and then she was removed. Her shouting did not begin until Thompson's brown-shirts began handling her.
"So the lady was being a jerk and he told her to be quiet and let him answer. What's the problem with that?"
Well, Thompson didn't answer the question, did he? Just politics as usual. Fred Thompson is not a conservative. Like Giuliani or Hillary, he has no principles.
Note to conservatives: Please be aware that is the liberals who are spreading this "Thompson is not a true conservative" thing. They're afraid of him and are trying to create these divisions. Don't fall for it.
Awesome Job exposing the CFR member for what he is.. sure they only played the part that made her look the worst..
Yes, the clip cut in at the hieght of the protest/(more like just asking questions, I guess that is protesting now) when the cops were closing in on her so she was distressed and threw out the wild card with the inside job call, they will likely spin her as a crazy nut that think the building were demolished.. when any person can look at the footage again and see that it was set up by someone..
So what was Tompsons answer? Why is he in the CFR they didn't cover that part it was neatly left out.. I am sure it was some total side step answer.. I would like to see how he answered.
Why didn't the media cover his answers?
I dont who people are who are Fred is not a true conservative. He is by far the most conservative canditate wh has a chance of winnning. He is not a 'neo-con' he is actually closer to being a federalist than a conservative. He believes in small government, pro-life (look at his senate voting record), cutting taxes, border security, pro-gun, and is not afraid to stand up to dems when it comes to the war. WHat else do want? so what he supported Mccain Fiengold, one blemish, compare him to Romney, Rudy and Mccain and he is BY FAR the BEST option!!!
If Thompson was/is a member of CFR and has not denounced this dangerous lobby then that disqualifies him as a prospective president, period.
The Liberals are scared. CNN is reporting this which probably happens everyday to every candidate and Thompson hasn't even announced. I love the Ron Paul crowd here also, yeah he's a real conservative. I mean NONE of these anti Thompson posters would consider any Republican, or if they were genuine in their soul why not vote a Green candidate? It's all Democrat hit squad, 24/7/365 for 8 freaking years till Bush is gone. I want Thompson, but at this point you'd have to be crazy to actually want ANY Dem President with a Dem Congress. Remember 1993? I do, it was a big eye opener and yes I voted for Clinton. There are a whole lot of changes now and yes we are at war and yes I've served in Iraq and yes, I'm still in Kuwait supporting the War-fighters. I am astonished at all the people who are scared of Fred, it's very obvious by this (s)- hit piece from CNN, don't you think?
Oh, so I see that Mr. Fred has come out of meditation now after his trip to kiss Israel's golden ring.

Anyone in New Mexico interested in backpacking somewhere in April? I just moved to Los Alamos in January and I am in need of new hiking partners. I have long weekends the 8-11th and 22-25th off in april.
Hey Travis, I'm located in Las Cruces, NM, but I occasionally get up north to do trips. Since I live down here in the southern portion of our state I primarily stick with trips in the Gila Wilderness and most recently did a trip in the Guadalupes. Last fall I did a Northern NM trip up to Pecos Baldy Lake and I'm very eager to get up there sometime this summer and camp @ Truchas Lake and hike the North, South and Middle Truchas Peaks. If you're willing to travel maybe sometime in the future we can do a Gila trip? There is a member named Joe Clement and I know he does trips up in the Wheeler Peak area and may live up in your area, you might try and contact him to do a hike. PM me if you plan on ever heading down south.

Product Details
Select Series™ Sidewinder Wedge Kit by Reese®. Lifetime warranty. Take the heavy equipment out of the truck bed! The Goose Box™ gooseneck coupler is specifically designed for RV trailer owners who wish to tow with their gooseneck hitch. The Reese® Goose Box™ replaces a traditional pin box so the RV works with the truck gooseneck hitch. Includes 5th Airborne™ technology for a superb ride.
- Gooseneck hitches are the preferred hitch on horse trailers
- Gooseneck trailers are also becoming popular on RVs
- Concentrates load over rear axle
- Improves resistance to sidewind wander
- More stable high-speed towing
- Easy hookup
Gooseneck hitches are the favorite mode of trailering for horse trailers, but an increasing number of RV owners have embraced the gooseneck hitch for a number of reasons. With the connection between the trailer and truck centered over the rear axle, the trailer has far less propensity to steer the truck over poor roads or on windy days, reducing driver fatigue. One of the major factors that influences trailer stability is the proportion of the trailer's weight that sits on the tongue. Conventional-hitch trailers should have between 10-15% of their weight on the hitch ball, but gooseneck hitches should be carrying 20-25% of the load, substantially more. With a drop-in or hinged ball, it's easy to regain your pickup's bed for toting ordinary cargo without the hitch getting in the way.41.13Brand: Reese Part Number: SWW-03 UPC: 016118066005
Reese Elite, R16, Select Series, Sidewinder, Titan, Revolution, Goosebox, and Strait Line and SC (active sway control) weight distribution systems are some of the best heavy duty towing and trailer control products available today. Since 1952 the Reese brand has lead the trailer towing industry with proven designs that exceed the industry standards and is the "brand of choice" when performance is the expectation. Known for a tradition of "Pioneering Performance," Reese is the perfect selection for all of your heaviest towing needs.

The first time I ever heard of Indian Creek was while looking through my dad's collection of Rock and Ice Magazines. Every day after school I would pick up one of the magazines and look through it gazing at the photos and reading all the articles that interested me. Out of all the climbing areas featured, Indian Creek always captured my attention. The magnificent hundred foot sandstone walls completely blank except for one obvious weakness. Perfectly parallel cracks ranging from desperate tips all the way to heinous off widths. This was the perfect traditional climbing area. As I grew older, some of my climbing friends started visiting the creek and came back with amazing stories of how pure the crack climbing is and how you can easily be onsighting solid 11's one day and be thwarted on a 5.9 the next day. I started looking through the Indian Creek guidebook and found a route that fit my style perfectly. Ruby's Cafe 5.13a. An intimidating straight in finger crack that follows two corner transitions to a steep and blank looking roof. This immediately became my goal, but at the time it looked as if I wouldn't get a chance to try it. With school holidays being either to hot or to cold it looked as if it was impossible. It wasn't until I moved to Boulder, Colorado that I finally got a chance to get on it. I recently joined the CU Alpine Club and one of their scheduled trips was to Indian Creek.
Indian Creek Mini Trip - Urs Moosmuller
After getting the logistics together, I headed out with three other people with two racks between us. We arrived in Indian Creek late last friday night and in a failed attempt at finding the rest of the CU group we set camp up in a crowded area in Creek Pasture. We woke up in a reserved group camp spot and quickly packed up and found a quite camp site along Davis Canyon Road. Psyched to finally be in the creek, we quickly got ready and headed to Battle of the Bulge Buttress. The first routes we got on were two unnamed cracks (5.10 and 5.11) that were both short thin hand cracks. Both routes went fairly easy and my confidence was pretty high when we arrived at the base of Ruby's Cafe. The sun had already turned the corner and the rock was warm and greasy. Looking up at the line, I knew it was definitely not the best conditions and at 10am it was already 80 degrees. After talking with my climbing partners about the conditions, I decided to go for it. We borrowed enough gear from parties near by and I started up the crack. The first thing I realized very quickly was that the sandstone is really slick. By the time I reached the first changing corners crux, my feet had slipped on the easier finger locks down low several times yet I was still hanging on. I made the transition into the corner and as I was reaching up my foothold slid and off I went. Thankfully my pieces held. The rest of the route went easier, but my feet were still slipping everywhere. Finally I made it to the top full of energy knowing it would go my next try in cooler conditions. In a rush to flee the sun, we found the only shade on the wall which happened to be in a large cave where the cave route resides. For two hours we hung out there, watched a few parties do the cave route then we did it and finally decided to head back to the car. Out of our group of people, Brent was the only one that had been to Indian Creek before and he showed us a nice shady area by a stream where we cooled off and hung out until evening. The next day we headed over to reservoir wall and ticked off some easier routes such as Warm-Up Hand Crack 5.10 and Ninja 5.11+. By the end of the short trip we were dirty, tired, and sweaty but happy to be in such a beautiful place with so much climbing around. Even now I am still baffled at how much route potential there is. Indian Creek is definitely a very unique area and I will be heading back there soon.

As the course title implies, we will familiarize students with the tax principles that must be considered by corporate managers and their advisers with respect to transactions that result in a re-alignment of the corporation's business activities or its capital structure. In most respects, the course will be taught from the perspective of the outside adviser engaged to provide guidance regarding a major corporate transaction or financing decision. The student will, once the course is completed, secure an ability to recognize common re-structuring/financing scenarios confronting management and be positioned to propose viable solutions to these problems in a manner that minimizes tax outlays, consistent with prudent and, above all, ethical business practice.
The course features a final examination and a term paper; typically, but not necessarily, the paper is prepared on a group basis. The readings for the course consist, primarily, of Lehman Brothers "Tax and Accounting" Research Reports and "The Willens Report" research pieces and articles from professional taxation journals as well as decided cases and I.R.S. pronouncements.We will supply all such reading materials on the first day of class.

Archive for the 'Vespa 50' tag
Ciao, Bella! Vespa's 50cc "Vespina" turns 50
The first Vespa 50cc model, launched in 1963. Images courtesy of Vespa USA.
Vespa motor scooters have been manufactured by Piaggio since 1946, but 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the brand's most popular models: the "small frame" 50cc motor scooter that made urban commuting cost-effective for generations of fans around the globe and that has become an Italian cultural icon.
Designed to get around regulations in the Italian Highway Code that required a license plate for larger motorcycles and motor scooters, the 50cc Vespa (Italian for "wasp") produced only three horsepower, but returned fuel economy of up to 60 kilometers per liter (the equivalent of 141 miles per gallon). Though three horsepower may not sound like much, it (aided by the lightweight and aerodynamic pressed-steel unibody) was enough to give the Vespa a top speed of 40 MPH, more than sufficient for non-highway use.
Piaggio's 1945 Vespa MP6 prototype.
Like the larger Vespa models, the 50cc scooter delivered a comfortable and upright riding position, while shielding the operator from the scooter's drivetrain and road debris kicked up by the tires. Its reduced size soon earned it the nickname of "Vespina," and the scooter became an instant hit with Italian youth, who embraced its counterculture, anti-regulation message.
For 1964, Vespa improved the "Vespina" with a longer "turismo" saddle and an easier-to-access engine, simplifying owner maintenance. Five years later, in 1969, Piaggio released the Vespa 50 Special, with design elements like a trapezoidal headlight and a four-speed transmission.
The 50cc Vespa also marked the last design project headed by Piaggio engineer Corradino D'Ascanio, who had helped to invent the original Vespa motor scooter in 1946. His design goals for the "Vespina" also help to explain its popularity: It was to be equipped with quiet mechanical elements; it was to demonstrate elasticity and it was to be easy to start.
1964 U.S. Vespa ad.
As with the Porsche 911, which also celebrates aspects of its 50th anniversary in 2013, the 50cc Vespa scooter remains in production today, styled very much like the original. Like the Porsche, its engine has been modernized over the years, and a cleaner four-stroke 50cc unit helped the Vespa return to the U.S. market in 2001, after the two-stroke was banned for emissions in 1980. Don't expect to see Porsche 911-sized gains in output, though, as the current 50cc model makes just four horsepower, enough for a top speed of 39 MPH.
To celebrate the anniversary, Piaggio has set up a blog at LaVespaVita.com to present historical facts and tidbits and to collect stories from Vespina owners and riders.

White Perch Abound

Region: Eastern
Location: Choptank River
This past Saturday 4 of us took home 83 hefty White Perch from the Bill Burton Fishing Pier. They ranged from 9 to 12 inches. Not to mention the small Rockfish and smaller White Perch we threw back. They would only bite on bloodworms. Was a great day of fishing.

(202) 512-4800
This document presents the results of GAO's survey of Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorneys. The purpose of the survey was to determine (1) how performance goals and measures were communicated to the local offices and how they reflected the work performed at those offices; (2) how case progress was monitored; (3) how the performance evaluation system helped identify strengths and weaknesses and distinguish among Assistant U.S. Attorneys; (4) how the turnover in Assistant U.S. Attorneys affected the office; (5) how information technology helped meet local needs; (6) how the administrative (non-attorney) staff supported the local office; and (7) how training helped local officials perform their jobs. We developed a web-based questionnaire to obtain this information and made it available to 768 Supervisory Assistant U.S. Attorneys at the 94 U.S. Attorneys' Offices located around the country. We received 532 responses, a 70 percent return rate. A more detailed discussion of our scope and methodology and a discussion of the summary of selected survey results are contained in our report entitled U.S. ATTORNEYS: Performance-Based Initiatives Are Evolving. This report can be accessed by clicking on the following link (GAO-04-422). We conducted our survey work from January to April 2003 in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards.

Man who sold all his land, buried a year after his death
Written by Cotron Alumasa
2012-04-30 19:39:00
Read 799 Times
A body of an 80 years old man which has been lying at Mbale District Hospital Mortuary for the last one and a half years was finally laid to rest over weekend.
The deceased Mr. Harun Inyambula was buried at Mago village in Sabatia district Vihiga County.
Confirming the incident the area chief John Kidali said the late Inyambula died one and a half years ago after selling his piece of land after having lost his only son.
Kidali said the late then shifted to stay with her daughter Mavaya Inyambula where he passed on.
It was until the time when her daughter Mavaya was planning for the burial that she came to realize that the late father had sold his piece of land and issued the title deed to the buyer without her consent.
Kidali added that Mavaya in collaboration with the brother to the deceased went to court so as the late could be buried on his land but they lost the case on realizing that the deceased had issued the land title deed to the buyer.
The deceased could not be buried on his daughter's marital land according to the Maragoli custom.
According to the Mbale district Medical Superintendent Francis Odira, the family was allowed to take the body after they had confirmed that they had found a place to bury the deceased.
The deceased was buried at his late son's piece of land at Mago shopping after an agreement with the family.
