Politics Counts
Foreign Policy
Me, I'd like to repeal August 20, 1935.
The day when Ron Paul was born.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows that 26% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty percent (40%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -14 (see trends).
In a potential Election 2012 matchup, former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is at 45% while President Obama earns 44%. This is the first time in any poll that Santorum has led the president. Several other GOP challengers have led the president a single time in the polls including Rick Perry, Herman Cain, and Newt Gingrich. Each man briefly held the lead while they were surging in the polls, only to fall quickly. It remains to be seen what will happen to Santorum's support.
Santorum gets 78% of the Republican vote and leads by ten among those not affiliated with either major party. President Obama get 83% of the Democratic vote in that matchup. Santorum leads by 16 points among men but trails by 12 among women. As is typically the case in all matchups, the president leads among those under 40 while the GOP hopeful leads among those who are over 40.
Yes, we should definitely get rid of the one guy who is actually making sense. Great idea. Then maybe the Fed and MSM can continue in their downward spiral unhampered.
What 1913 foreign policy is Rep. Paul referring to ?
@Helmut.. without federal reserve using printed money to artificially suppress interest rates, all of the money America squanders on foreign policy would be made impossible by prohibitively high borrowing expense. In this way, 1913 is the year that created this hyper-powerful government we have today. True, the federal reserve bank is supposed to be independent. But, they aren't.
Not surprising. He wants to go back to the 19th century. His golden age is the Gilded Age.
Economics have evolved yet, our system is still stuck in the mentality of the majority of the early XX century -unbelievable for a nation claiming to be the superior crap on earth- laughable, indeed!!!
Away, I would say, with excuses used by obama romney gingrich to keep oppressing the real people who make this great nation, the workers.
Paul, keep educating blind minds, even if their ignorance turns against you, the erudite in the subject.
he wants to go back to before we had any thing to protect anyone from anything may as well scream fire or bomb in a crowded room and see if anyone Jumps.. other than the secret service that is there to baby sit the candidate.thing is history repeats its self with the death of the Stengel act the banks and stock brokers with the insurance giants got a lot of this problem started had that act stood then theyd of been arrested for illegitimate activities and 3/4 of our current money headaches would not be.. Just the un paid war actions and a few other debts.
Ron would like to repeal the entire 20th century, and the 21st as well.
What ideas do other candidates have to even ATTEMPT to solve our economic woes? History shows a steady cycle of failed democracies. The breaking point is generally when a government decides to take a sovereign debt and never recovers. Democracy is inherently flawed in the sense that people will always want a balanced budget, but also want more government programs. Less taxes, more government benefits. We need a radical change in fiscal policy. Soon.
this guy is my hero. he speaks nothing but the truth. #googleronpaul start the revolution
Hey, at least they voted their conscience. If more people would put principle over party, or actually develop some principles rather than blindly following their party rhetoric then we wouldn't be in this predicament.
Here is what I see.
Romney gets elected - the rich get richer, the middle class shrinks, the debt grows, and we get involved in more wars (or which I am an Iraq vet still in the Army Guard)
Basically we get George W. Bush 2
Obama gets elected - The rich get richer, the middle class shrinks, the debt grows, we get involved in wars for which we have to borrow the money from China and pass the debt to our children
Ron Paul gets elected - This all changes. Incrementally sure, but the changes that are made are done on a more radical plane back to the constitution from which our country was created.
Repeal 1913 is just a joke, you idiots. Like you can really repeal a whole year. Get a grip.
Ron Paul is the only candidate/political figure/public figure that actually speaks the truth and understands the main issues facing the USA.
the comment on foreign policy is probably a reference to the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, one of the architects of the League of Nations.
Ron Paul gets elected .....then gets a stroke or his dementia becomes really obvious,
No thanks, that nutcase is too old.
Ron Paul 2012 He is on the right track paper money is supposed to represent something of value weather that be work, gold, raw materials, etc. The Federal reserve is stealing when they manipulate the money printing extra cash and buying goods and services when you have none to trade is theft! The National Debt is theft as well when it is not accumulated from extreme dire emergency! China and many other Countries are hoarding Gold now and want to remove The USA dollar from the worlds currency that is extremely serious Ron PAUL has been Warning us of this coming for 30 years & yet there are still dumb people working against his message WAKE UP ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPPORT DR.RON PAUL !!!!!!!!!!!
It's always nice when Ron Paul emerges from his survival cave to make a statement confirming his irrelevance.
Even Ron Paul's security guards smile. Because they believe in him. It's not just a job.
I am beginning to think that the present system of universal suffrage is not workable. There are too many people able to vote who have zero stake in whether they country succeeds or fails. Veterans should be allowed to vote, and people who have done some civilian equivalent for a few years, but the normal citizen isn't responsible enough or selfless enough to have a vote.
A persons Age is not an adequate reason for not voting for some one qualified to perform the job correctly. People get strokes and die at all ages. A person with more years that is paying attention to world events is called EXPERIENCED that far out weighs a person of youth that just doesn't have as much experience to know what each road leads to. I would say DR. Paul is perfectly capable of performing the required duties of the Presidency and he knows what they are and are not!
I find it so ludicrous that the republicans with their surfeit of hubris after their unqualified support of the George W Bush 8 year debacle, are now quixotically confident they can restore the US to some fantasy of health by simply removing Obama,,,and that so many are gullible enough to believe their purported miracle cure will invoke their own personal rescue is enough to make me want to vomit.
Ed Bond said "Veterans should be allowed to vote, and people who have done some civilian equivalent for a few years, but the normal citizen isn't responsible enough or selfless enough to have a vote." SIR with all due respect I disagree I personally have not served in the military because I am gay and didn't want to potentially face court marshal since it was illegal to join back in the early 1980's when I considered it. I support Ron Paul and understand the need to protect the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Please remember people like Jimmie Carter a bad president did serve and John McCain served & he supports the unpatriotic Patriot act and indefinite detention bill which allows the military to imprison any US citizen indefinitely without due process so everyone should be allowed to vote irregardless of serving also maybe a simple test to verify a person voting understands what each candidate stands for and understanding our constitution and Bill of Rights. RON PAUL 2012
$ 1 5 , 3 5 9 , 3 4 3 , 2 4 4 , 8 7 4 . 9 5 That is over 15 Trillion dollars we have to pay for this with interest! KING Obama is either very irresponsible, selfish or stupid to go spend add 4 million dollar$$ to this for a Hawaii vacation and many more beyond that!
The candidate for
The only candidate that wants to end the war on drugs, the war or Muslims (terror), and our civil liberties. He also does NOT want to cut benefits to those on social security, medicaid, medicare or anything of that nature. He wants to eliminate the actual need for those programs before he turns it over to the states, as it should be. Also, he wants to make real cuts, a trillion dollars worth, but not baseline cuts, he want to start at the top, with the presidents payroll, shrinking it from the $400,000+ to the average pay of a US citizen at the time. Why is it so hard for people to like this guy??
I always laugh when Obama backers think he is above corporate influence
Take a look at one of his appointments. Tell Obama to Cease FDA Ties to Monsanto http://signon.org/s/Cu4Bz4
Do people wonder why Ron Paul wants to get rid of the FDA? It's because it is infected with people like Micheal Taylor that are using it to mislead Americans and further their own agenda.
If you don't like Ron Paul you expressly oppose the Constitution. Every single position the man takes comes directly out of the Constitution, virtually word for word. If you don't get that then you either have no respect for the Constitution and the principles that are the foundation of this country or you don't have the knowledge you think you have. Ron Paul is a walking, talking U.S. Constitution. Disrespect him and you're disrespecting the document itself.
"No one is more helpless than those who think they're free." Goethe
I'm a new Ron Paul supporter and its feels pretty d@mn good.
1913 is a good year to single out, among many. It saw the birth of the Fed, the IRS, the FBI, and the ADL. Combined with the perpetual intervention policy of Wilson, 1913 contained all the seeds for what would become the New World Order.
President Paul!
I hate how even in good/ok articles always downplay Dr. Paul's crowds. He posted on Facebook w/ pictures that there was easily over 700 people there and this article doesn't even half that number.
The population always elects their executioner. That is why America has been falling apart over the decades and sliding away from its super power status. It's the fall of the roman empire all over again in a sped up version. Our system has been corrupted, Congress is corrupt and are a bunch of criminals, the government as a whole is on another planet and not dealing with reality. It would be wonderful if Americans could recognize that Ron Paul is the only person looking at reality (the rest are robots and puppets dancing to the tune of an out of control government) and who has the futrue well being of this country in mind. In my opinion anyone who doesn't want Ron Paul is anti-American and wittingly or unwittingly contributing to the downfall of what was once a great nation.
Yes Ron Paul, The only one with Balls big enough to speak the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The events of 1913 signifies the rise of an financial aristocracy. Like in Europe when the 'noblemen' at a certain point in history needed a 'King' to facilitate their class-rule. RP wants to 'kill the king' - right? That makes him a true revolutionary, because without 'Big Government' - 'Big Money' would not become too big to destroy the free market i.e. creating a '99-1' society...
Fiat currency is nearly worthless since the creation of the Creature From Jekyll Island in 1913.
When given the choice, why does everyone always choose the $Million in gold instead of the $Million in paper?
Wake up people, and fast. These banksters need to be put in jail.
Lets have sound money again, just like the Constitution requires.
Ron Paul 2012
What are you waiting for?
Go spread the word!
1000 plus to see Ron Paul in Reno
Only Ron Paul mitt will be no different than obama and that is a disaster scenario
If you nominate Romney, you are wasting your vote
Obama and Romney are both corporatist bank puppets!!!
Ron Paul supports the poeople!!!
Why are the five biggest donors to Romney ALL BANKS? What does that mean to you?
Why are the top three donors to Ron Paul the Army, Navy, and Air Force? What does that tell you?
Just released: Largest donors for all the candidates 2/2/2012
Repealing 1913 sounds like a great idea.
When we were in grade school, we all learned about the "checks and balances" between the Presidency, Congress, and Courts.
But the Constitution also created checks and balances between the federal government and state governments. The mechanism uses was state governments appointing Senators, who looked after state interests.
In 1913, the 17th Amendment was passed, with removed the checks that the state government had on the federal government.
The result was nearly 100 years of federal usurpation of state powers.
The most important thing that we could do to restore our liberty is eliminate the 17th amendment and restore the checks and balances between the states and the federal government.
what I would like to see Ron Paul do? which he said he would TRY to do. stop home owners property tax. seriously how can anyone say they own there home so long as there paying property tax. business tax I understand but so called home owners are just paying the government low rent, they lose there homes just like a renter does if they don't pay that tax, except they lose a lot more then a renters does, every thing they have put into the home on modifications, repairs, and all so why is it that home owners will NEVER own there home. and Ron Paul Might be able to stop this but unfortunately he does need congress for that.
Am I the only one feeling sick and profoundly embarassed by our republican candidates...... its frightening
I am neither republican nor democrat. But i can assure you, our economic situation will only get worse before it will get better. Especially proceeding down the road we are in now.
Someone above asked what foreign policy dr. Paul would like to repeal in 1913. WW I comes to mind.
Isn't it about time to use 1911 to repeal 1913?
Do yourself a favor and Google WW I ....
You are welcome .
It's amazing when people calling for change however yet when somebody is actually calling for real change, they get scared. This comment section is amazing. Shame we can't repeal ignorance.
Never mind 1913. Too bad we can't repeal 1914. That's the year the century went to hell.
Greedy Geezers dislike Ron Paul, like my 77 year old neighbor who ignored his son after he was run over by a truck on a sidewalk, and left him to the system to take care of, while spending $100,000 for a pacemaker and other heart things. They want to cling to the spoils of this earth that they enjoyed, and could care less about anything or anyone else.
1913 is when the US government therefore we the people gave up the right to control our own money. The Fed Reserve is the biggest scam ever. Look it up
Contrary to what my critics say, I really do NOT want to go back to the gold standard.
I'd much rather we went back to when pretty seashells and beaver pelts were traded as currency.
I wish people would open their eyes and see that Ron Paul stands for everything that this country was founded upon. People say the constitution is outdated. It is the constitution that makes this country great. Remember when politicians were here to adress our needs. We, the people, of the United States. Lets never forget that!! Ron Paul is a great start.
I see the glass half full. At least we're having this discussion. If nothing else, it'll contain the growing rank of complainers who think they can get a free ride from the rest of us.
Forget 1913 -- let's talk about 1917. This was when they passed the 17th Amendment altering the Senate to be elected by popular vote instead of appointment by state legislatures. This was the actual fork in the road for big government; 1913 was merely the funding source for it.
With the Senate no longer setup to disable the flow of frivolous left-wing and right-wing legislation coming out of the House, the fire hose was turned on and the government became the lever for societal change rather than the more fundamental and proper approach of cultural assimilation. The West's gradual descent into a cultural nullity has since been sadly assured.
Time to blow the whistle. Know why Gingrich and Santorum are still in the race? It's probably not what you think. Privately, the Republican Party has already selected Mitt Romney as its nominee. However there is a problem. The problem is Ron Paul. Ron Paul has stirred up such a ground swell of anti-big gov't, anti-establishment fervor and support, that the Republican party bosses, like Rove, Morris, Kristol, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, etc. are worried that Paul might end up at the Tampa RNC in August with so many delegates that he could upset their plans to foist Mitt Romney off on the voters. So, Gingrich and Santorum have been "bribed" to stay in the race as long as Ron Paul does. The reason, of course, is to draw off potential delegates for Ron Paul. There are many voters within the Republican party establishment who would vote for Ron Paul, if it came down to just him and Mitt Romney -- but with Gingrich and Santorum still around and running interference for Romney against Paul it keeps more of the party voters from deciding to go with Ron Paul. Once Dr. Paul ends his campaign, Gingrich and Santorum will throw their voter group support behind Romney, which was the plan anyway in exchange for lucrative backroom deals during the Romney Presidency, if he beats Obama in November. This is another way this gang of rats ramrodding these primaries and caucuses are defrauding Ron Paul of potential delegates. The politically powerful in DC and their war profiteering rich cronies truly despise the little taxpayer voters whom they just cannot completely control or get rid of, and so now we have another kind double dealing going on in this race for the nomination. Technically no FEC rules have been violated, but talk about really dirty pool, the gang of three; Romney, Gingrich and Santorum. However, it does show you the power of one honest man like Ron Paul in the middle of this rigged game, and the effect he is having trying to foil the corrupt election schemes of the Republican party bosses. Go Ron Paul!
I applaud frank for his perceptive comment. There is nothing wrong with an income tax per se. A flat or mildly progressive income tax is the fairest and most efficient way to raise revenue. What is wrong with our tax system is the supine capitulation of Congress to the demands of every special interest group. If we had a branch of Congress which was just slightly independent of the election cycle perhaps we could have a more sensible government. Populism is a disease of democracy and our founding fathers understood that. It is a pity that their insight has been lost.
The income tax pays for nothing, except interest on the debt. Ever read the Grace Commission Report? END THE FED, 0-0-0 plan, RON PAUL 2012!
All the nanmecalling anti-Paul people with no argument whatsoever aside, the article forgets one important part about 1913 that should also be repealed: the 17th Amendment. It removed the vertical check on the federal government by the States in the Senate, and the federal government has exploded in growth ever since, despite the Tenth Amendment's limitations.
There's nothing like an idea whose time has come! (Victor Hugo)
The choice is simple - if Ron Paul does not win the nomination - we will vote Obama. I'd rather see the country torn apart by a Democrat than a Republican.
And it will send a powerful message to the republican party - you will NEVER win an election so long as you spit on your most committed demographic.
Ditto Tannim
To "Simple.....that is idiotic!
You won't be sending a message to the Republican Party. You'll only be ensuring that the rest of us have to keep suffering this Dem nonsense. Use your one precious vote, instead, to help get us out of this mess...not into 4 more years of it.

NATCA Congratulates President-Elect Obama, Looks Forward to Working Together for a Safer, More Efficient Aviation System - (11/5/2008)
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The nation's air traffic controllers and aviation safety professionals, represented by NATCA, are joining today in the exuberant celebration of the historic election of Barack Obama and extend their congratulations to him on this special day of restored hope for the United States of America. NATCA President Patrick Forrey released the following statement as the organization now looks forward to the bright future of the National Airspace System:
"President-elect Obama supported NATCA from the beginning in our long struggle for fair collective bargaining rights with the Federal Aviation Administration. We were proud to support him and join with working men and women across the country to win this campaign. We're in a new horizon. Our nation's aviation system will be restored to provide the traveling public the highest level of safety and efficiency to give our economy a stimulus through renewed focus on our infrastructure.
"For more than two years now our workforce has been one in crisis, attacked and disrespected by an anti-union administration. But change is coming. It is imminent. And NATCA will be there to welcome, embrace and escort it as we work together for a safer, more efficient system. No longer will the employees at the FAA be treated like the enemy. There will be a culture change. We greatly look forward to working together with President-elect Obama's administration to modernize our infrastructure while enhancing safety in a spirit of mutual respect and collaboration. We also will offer our service as the dedicated safety professionals we are, stationed on the front lines of the system.
"NATCA has waited a long time for this day and we couldn't be happier in embracing the hope that fairness will finally be brought back into the FAA. President-elect Obama's victory has brought about something this controller workforce has not felt in more than two years – hope for change."

Decisions to act out of kindness, compassion, and concern confront us regularly in our lives. They vary in scale and impact, from the choice to hold the door to choosing to help someone in grave danger.
In moments of empathy, our emotions go a step further. Beyond sympathy, empathy allows us to share and experience the emotions of another.
When it comes to attributes of altruism, "prosocial behavior" allow us to assert our better selves. But prosocial behavior also raises the question of how we got to be this way in the first place. Were we taught? Or are we born this way?
Dr. Perri Klass is a primary care pediatrician and the author of a recent article in The New York Times, "Understanding How Children Develop Empathy."
At least he had access to a gun. He could have gotten desperate and made a bone and hurt more ppl.
Seems like we're coming out of a long stretch of the abused child in that the self was promoted over others for a generation or so. (Think: "Mean Girls", Snarkiness, Schadenfreude in popular culture, etc) Nice seeing the attention shifted elsewhere in this segment - to a remedy? Also liked hearing the segment preceded with words saying something like: 'this is your morality toolkit'. I see "unkerjay from WA" may agree. Now to read the other comments.
When my son was a pre-adolescent, he began to express anger or annoyance in situations where I suspected he was feeling empathetic or sympathetic. I was astounded by this.
I began to explore it with him. He felt uncomfortable in response to what he saw in the world. He had no name for it. We explored the response, "I wish I could help that person." as a response that better described his discomfort. When he felt he could do nothing, he felt angry without another response to substitute.
we also discussed the concept of "blaming the victim"
I think the best way for parents to teach empathy is to model it themselves by reflective listening, paying attention and acknowledging that some things are painful for our children, even when we adults think it's not a big deal. We don't need to make their complaints all better, just let them know that we understand.
May I suggest a further resource to learn more about empathy and compassion.
The Center for Building a Culture of Empathy
The Culture of Empathy website is the largest internet portal for resources and information about the values of empathy and compassion. It contains articles, conferences, definitions, experts, history, interviews, videos, science and much more about empathy and compassion.
As I struggled to learn who I was and where I came from, I became more empathetic towards other people who struggled to learn who they were and where they came from and were unable to do so.
Having had training in human development for an Ed Masters, and having raised and trained animals for over 35 years,I know that even animals are born with empathy(observed many times), and its in varying degrees.
Like any potential ability, it ultimately depends on environment-raising, training, experiences exposed to...and also level of emotional maturity reached, that determines to what extent empathy is further developed. People with arrested emotional development, those more narcissistic, I think tend to have less empathy.
I wouldn't be surprised if various hormonal levels, such as oxytocin, have an effect, as well.
Dear Ed,
Sorry to inform you but both the "philosophers" and their followers were products of your Christian "empathy" upbringing. It's a known fact, that die Kommendanten and Kommandantinnen would come home to celebrate your empathy idol's birth on break from their "emphatic" duties.
It's strange that you don't know that the Nazis weren't some aliens who descended on this bwonderful Christian land. Such a convenient ignorance.
You, people, are confused. Babbling about bigotry, while promoting a perfect representative of one of the most bigoted "cultures' in the world (yes, Dickens)
When my son was at daycare, around two years old, his best little buddy was in "time out". My son sat with him the whole time (a scant couple of minutes but an eternity to a two year old). At 13, he continues to display similar actions... when he's not being a typical 13 year old boy.
The philosophers in Germany before the Nazis argued that one should not feel empathy: that increases suffering from the one who is suffering to other people also. Misguided.
For a Christian, the teaching of empathy is seen on the Cross.
Don't children learn empathy from their parents example?
Yes, I need illiterate actors' explanation of societies (or anything else).
Yes, Carnegie (or Mellon whomever he mentions) was a wonderful human being. Sure, only in the mind of illiterate actors. Yes, the societal problems start in the world of finance. Sure, only in the minds of illiterate actors.
What a barbaric conversation.
Empathy is my then four year old son Philip running for his piggy bank during the Jerry Lewis Telethon in hopes that his money will help cure his friend Gregory who had muscular dystrophy. His 7 year old brother did the same. No prompting or comment from Mom was required.
Empathy is my barely 4 year old son running for his piggy bank to give money to a Jerry Lewis telethon so it would help cure his friend Gregory, who had muscular dystrophy.
This babbling about empathy is irritating. How can you teach children about empathy in a country of wrong values? In one of the most liberal states the governor is against raising of minimal wage (while his ... whatever approaches the victims with some Thanksgiving dinner - sure it will help people on minimal wage without any benefits) and the population loves, loves, loves the entire scheme.
There's a school of thought that to get ahead requires a degree of dog eat dog mentality, to be a leader requires a degree of amorality, of psychopathy, a resistance to fragility (not to mention the "sand in the face - Charles Atlas" effect):
"The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success"
"Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder"
"The War Against Boys" (The Atlantic")
"Leadership is Amoral, or Why You Want Them On That Wall…" (Fistful of Talent)
We don't do a very good job of rewarding empathy. Subsequently we don't much value empathy.
Empathy isn't seen as being a prerequisite to success in life (personal or professional).
The phrase "bleeding heart liberal" supports the point. So, for that matter too, does, "right wing wacko" or "right wing extremist".
In war, I learned, that who one would consider an enemy to be killed was dehumanized as part of that process. Look at almost every conflict we've been in, and the associated derisive slang for the Japanese, the Germans, the Italians, middle eastern combatants.
Empathy's got an uphill battle against conventional "wisdom" (or lack thereof).

i'm sorry if this was already asked here, but I couldn't found it with search.
Is there any tool that can convert a multiple files noncompliant cuesheet to a single image one?
The reason for this is that I have some albums stored as multiple files with a noncompliant cuesheet with gaps append to the end of previous track. Now I would like to join the files and create one appropriate cuesheet with all gaps preserved.
I've read the EAC CUE Sheets wiki page, and I see that it contains the method for converting, but it's difficult to apply it to a lot of cues by hand.
So I was thinking on some tool, or other clerver and quicker method to do it.

The problem is not that the DATE line gets ommitted during converting with CUETool... which is not the case!
foobar simply doesn't interpret the "DATE 1544" line as a YEAR tag... and there's no way of adding a "REM YEAR 1544" or so... that would get ignored, too. Maybe that's fixed in the newer betas... as I said I used 0.9b6 with the old cue sheet interpreter.
If this causes some problems for you later... for example you want the albums of one artist to be in the correct order of release then add the year of the release somewhere in the file path. For example make a folder for every album starting with the year of release, or if you use single files with integrated cue sheets use something like <Artist> - <Year> - <Album title>.flac. Then you can sort the playlist according to the file path automatically and don't have to make it manually when you create a new playlist or messed an old one up.
Oh or maybe ask the fb2k devs politely if they would like to implement this (if they haven't done so already). I mean that the DATE line gets interpreted as a YEAR tag when loading a cue sheet.

Ah, the Olympics. Uniting nations in mutual distrust and nationalist, self-righteous anger for over a century. And so it came to pass this morning that one of China's leading tech luminaries, Li Kaifu – former Google China head – posted a small graphic to his 15 million Sina Weibo followers containing personal info about John Leonard, the US swim official who first voiced doubts about the gold medal performance of Chinese swimmer Ye Shiwen. It included an address and a phone number that we couldn't verify. [UPDATED: A reader kindly provides us with the deleted Weibo post that appears to contain a specially-created card with Leonard's details on it]:
Mr. Li deleted that above tweet in under an hour, and defended his prior action by saying that the information about the US coach was widely available on the web already. To prove it, he posted a link in a new tweet to a PDF file hosted externally (on fgcswim.org) that contains apparent home addresses and mobile phone numbers for numerous Team USA coaches. The tweet is here, and this is the screenshot:
Leonard's words, that Ye's blistering speed in the pool was "unbelievable" and "disturbing," hinting at the possibility of doping, hit hard in China where some feel that the teenage swimmer is being robbed of her chance to enjoy her world record win.
In further posts to Weibo this morning, Li Kaifu – who now runs the startup incubator Innovation Works – kept up the pressure on John Leonard, saying that "he has criminal records (two of which are not for speeding)." The inference is that the other two the crimes – there appear to be four in public records – are more serious. A blurry image of Leonard's criminal record history was also attached to the Weibo post in the above image.
As we know that Li is a keen observer of world events, he can't have been unaware of the furore earlier this week over the journalist who was banned from Twitter for tweeting out the email address of the NBC executive who runs its Olympics coverage. Only time will tell if Sina's (NASDAQ:SINA) trigger-happy Weibo censors will take action on Li's posts.
The deleted tweet is seen here with the typical "This post has been deleted" line from Weibo, now existing as a ghostly appendage on its many initial retweets:
Li Kaifu's outburst against John Leonard seems to have surprised some of his followers. The Weibo user @请输入常用词 was astonished by his now-deleted tweet, saying "I can't believe he did this… such an improper way." But among others, it might win Li new supporters and followers. Perhaps the best thing to say of this whole controversy is that, surely, Ye Shiwen is innocent until proven otherwise.
[UPDATE 2]: Now Mr. Li has also deleted the post in the second picture above that contained both the Leonard criminal record screenshot and the link to the US coaches' details.
[Thanks to Fergus Ryan on Twitter for the image of the deleted tweet]

Local music mavericks go west in pursuit of musical kicks and damn fine coffee.
In Ardmore there are two sides to every proposal. One begs to maintain the historic architecture and posh charm of Main Line proper. The other presents a case for the economic and structural rebuilding of the entire borough. Despite their differences, there's one thing both sides agree upon: MilkBoy Coffee is good for business.
According to co-owner Jamie Lokoff, "The township has been onboard with us since day one. We're proof that you can bring new business into town without having to knock down any buildings or upset the general balance in the process."
MilkBoy Coffee opened its doors on Feb. 18. The downtown beanery stands as a testament to all things artistic and musical, steeped in the tradition of communal gathering.
"We wanted to provide a vehicle that would bring people together," Lokoff says. "Music is the primary engine, but the other things aren't far behind."
Those other things include poetry slams, open-mike nights, "open-reel" nights and First Friday events featuring the work of local talent. The music menu promises a diverse selection, tempting the palates of both folk and punk aficionados.
"We've targeted an underage crowd," Lokoff says. "There are more than 20 high schools and colleges within a 3-mile radius. We want young people to come in and say, 'This is my place, and it's cool.' Kids are much more sophisticated today. They're exposed to a lot because they have 160 channels to choose from. They have the Internet. They're in touch with so many more people and things. Because of that, they're more mature. They need a place like this, where they can be young adults."
The Main Line has been starved for a bohemian-style music venue since the Point closed its doors last June. Lokoff's partner Tommy Joyner (who, with Lokoff, also runs the nearby MilkBoy Recording Studio) claims the Point's closing had little to do with their decision to set up shop just a mile down the road.
"When we game-planned this whole thing, we had no way of knowing the Point would shut down," Joyner says. "Ironically, a lot of the sound equipment we have was purchased from the Point when it closed."
Lokoff agrees. "There are elements that naturally connect us to the Point, but our approach is much different. We want to feed people's artistic minds."
The location for their new cafe-a historic building that formerly housed the Heisman Fine Arts Gallery-seemed to fit perfectly.
"Ultimately we think we can make a bigger splash in Ardmore," Lokoff says. "If we moved deeper into the city or over to Manayunk, we'd be just another studio or coffeehouse. Here we stand out."
Although still early on in the booking process, MilkBoy looks forward to hosting a bevy of local musicians, including Philly faves Townhall and local six-stringer Josh Komorowski.
"We think we've tapped into something unique here," boasts Joyner.
"Yeah," adds Lokoff. "This is just the beginning."

JOHANNESBURG (AP) - Former South African President Nelson Mandela remains in a hospital Sunday while he receives treatment for a recurrence of pneumonia.
South African presidential spokesman Mac Maharaj says there are no updates on 94-year-old Mandela since an official statement Saturday on his condition. That statement reported the anti-apartheid leader was breathing without difficulty after having a procedure to clear fluid in his lung area.
Mandela was admitted to a hospital in the capital, Pretoria, near midnight Wednesday. It was his third trip to a hospital since December, when he was treated for a lung infection and also had a procedure to remove gallstones. Earlier in March, he spent a night in a hospital for what officials said was a scheduled medical test.

Defense Companies are truly parasites of Big Gubment.
It was promising for them if Romney would had won. The US would had gone to War in Syria or Iran at the smallest provocation
What would happen if there are no Wars in the Next 10 years?
It would be disastrous for Defense Companies. No need to replenish the fleets of fighter jets or tanks
The debt load of the economy is too much. It cannot carry the burden of servicing excessive debt. Nothing has been fixed. Debt was the problem to begin with and we have more of it now. Google for "DEFLATIONARY CRASH KONDRATIEFF WAVE" to understand the deflationary forces in the economy. Next time you hear consumer is holding up the economy, keep in mind, it only means we are spending the money we don't have. It is a dead end. It will crash.
We cannot continue to borrow tons of money so that we can spend more than the rest of the world combined on "defense". Other countries will have to spend some of their own money from now on.
The amount of debt our government is creating will be bad for everyone . . . not just defense.
There will never be a painless time to start reducing debt creation in DC. And, continued kicking of the can ensures the pain will be even greater.
How does the Government's shift to fixed price contracts in recent years affect what will happen to defense contractors? Certainly revenue will decrease due to sequestration (or even without it). But what happens when you tell a contractor in any business that you want to change your "firm" deal? Is the contractor's risk going up or down with this "less stable" customer? How will the contractor view the resultant fee and ROS that is acceptable and appropriate, and what is the "less stable" customer's bargaining power? It will probably depend on the procurement and whether the procurement will simply be reduced or stretched out in scope vs. simply terminated.

Storytime with George Lois, Part 2Juxtapoz // Monday, 29 Nov 2010
A few months back, I (first person for this post, I, the web editor) sat down with George Lois at his Manhattan apartment for a conversation about his career and magazines. Most of that conversation was published in our new December 2010 Juxtapoz, but for the next few weeks, we are posting bonus coverage on the website. We think its important.
This part of our discussion regards Mr. Lois' cover of Esquire with Muhammad Ali posing as the Christian Saint Sebastian, a controversial cover in 1968 as it is now.
I think of the Ali cover from April 1968 with the arrows because was a couple years after Ali became a Muslim, when he first came out against the war, and was sentenced to 5 years. I use to do a lot of covers with out even talking to Harold (Harold Haynes, editor of Esquire at the time). I really trusted him because I could tell him what I was doing.
The war had become a lot worse, and nobody was very positive of Ali. I had good friends of mine who were great fight fans that didn't like him. People stopped liking him, they would say he's a great man, but I fucking tired of his mouth.
Anyways, so I told Harold, we got to do another Ali cover. So he said, "I'm with you George, what do you have in mind?" And I said "I want to take a picture of him like Saint Sebastian with arrows in his body. Harold, this one could really get us in trouble." Every time I would say this is going to get us in trouble, Harold would say "Yeah!" Trouble meant losing advertising clients. All of the textile mills were down South and all the clothing manufactures were down South, too. There was a lot of money down there.
Anyways, Harold knew what he was doing. I mean, none of these covers could have happened with out him. There hasn't been anyone before and there hasn't been anyone since. So the cover was a go, and Harold was going to arrange Ali's travel stuff so we can get him here.
I get Ali on the phone and told him that I need him in NYC for 2 days, and he says "Gee George, I can't…". And I said, "Fuck you, you're not doing anything." There wasn't a fight. He had no license to fight, and he would just go to colleges and give talks. He was funny as hell. Anyways, so I said "I'm going to take a photo of you as Saint Sebastian, blah blah blah." And Ali says okay. I told him to bring his pretty white fucking trunks and his pretty white shoes and bring your sorry ass.
I go holy shit, "Who can I talk to? He didn't know who. And I said, "Can I talk to Elijah Muhammad? Can you get him on the phone?" It takes about 2 minutes, but Ali gets him on the phone, so I pick up and have about a 15 minute talk about what religion am I, how old am I, etc. I'm talking to him about symbolism, how Ali is a martyr, blah blah blah. Finally, Elijah asks to speak to Ali. Then, Ali gets off the phone with him and says, "Lets do it!"
We got Ali in his pose, got the arrows hanging, and start shooting. And then Ali say, "Hey George," and I just want him to fucking pose, but I said, "Okay what?" So one by one, Ali starts to point at the arrows… "Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara." Each guy that had given him shit was an arrow. It was fucking brilliant!
That was late 1967 or whatever it was. In 2004, I did a book called Celebrity, and Vanity Fair wanted to do a photo shoot with me and Ali for the book. We go out to Berrien Springs, Michigan where Ali lived, and I had been there 3 or 4 times before then. He's got a nice piece of land, nice house there. Not too far away, Ali has a smaller house that is kind of like a museum. And in the middle of it, Ali has a ring with all this memorabilia around it. So I say, "Hey, Muhammad, let's get you in the ring." When he gets in the ring I'm thinking, oh shit, I shouldn't have made him do this, its too hard. We sit in the corner, and the photographers are below the ring, and we've got our arms around each other, I think we are both wearing gloves or something.
The photographer says, "George, I got a problem, Muhammad is asleep." And I said, "Fuck you… bullshit, keep clicking," and then Mohammad pops his eyes open. And right in this moment, over 25 years after the picture was taken, and after batting Parkinson's, Muhammad leans over to me and says, "Hey George, Lyndon Johnson, Robert McNamara," and repeats the same 6 people in a row, exactly how he did it at the original shoot. Incredible.
People always say to me, "How's Ali's head?" And I say, "How's his head!? His memory is better than mine, you know what I mean?!" He's still sharp on his shit, but the Parkinson's is just terrible. But he's still just sharp as hell. Anyways, that's the story.

Hi all!I am generally a lurker and do not post much, but I have finally exhausted all my research and cannot find an answer to my question. Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I could help me out =)I am looking for a pair of softshell pants for high altitude mountaineering (Rainier, etc.) and cannot find one with the criteria I am looking for which include:1) No insulation. Just the softshell fabric, no fleece liners or anything like that. I hike very hot and prefer to control my body temp with baselayers.2) 30" (short) inseam. Must have a "short" inseam option, my legs never fit into regular cuts.3) Loops for suspenders or built in suspenders. I do not like having belts because they get in the way of my pack and harness, and generally I just do not like them for mountaineering.I feel like I've been going in circles looking for a product like this for over a month and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a softshell pant that meet these criteria I would love an opinion/recommendation!-Steven*edit* I am a male but for some reason it says "F" next to my name and I cannot figure out how to change it!
Edited by catinthehat on 02/17/2013 13:44:27 MST.
-F means forum member, not your sex.How about these?http://www.beyondclothing.com/shop/mens-outdoor-apparel/mission-apparel/products/cold-fusion-shock-pantThey do custom work.
Edited by kthompson on 02/17/2013 13:46:28 MST.
Thanks Ken for clearing that up. Hey that website looks promising! I did not even consider custom work!
I like the Mountain Hardwear Warlow pants, but they don't meet your 3rd condition. For a belt, I used the "built-in" built off of a pair of hiking shorts. It was very thin, and didn't interfer with my harness.The Warlow's fit very well (not baggy), had plenty of stretch, and were just right for a summer climb of Mt Baker...
Marmot Scree fits every single point of your criteria. I'm assuming you can use belt loops as suspender loops. Although they come in short, I find the size regular inseam to work for me (I have a 29.5" inseam)
Edited by Konrad1013 on 02/17/2013 15:23:15 MST.
They're not U/L (a little over a pound) and not waterproof, but they are comfortable, durable, and pretty good in the wind. Add a merino base layer and they work great for me anywhere between about 0 and 40 or so.They don't have any accommodation for suspenders, though you could always sew on buttons, eh? I use a thin grosgrain belt, and it's never bothered me.http://www.rei.com/product/815993/rei-mistral-pants-mens-30-inseam
Edited by scubahhh on 02/17/2013 15:28:37 MST.
Excluding first criterion - Patagonia Mix Master Pants. Despite some insulation (yes, I got "hot" really fast, I mean REALLY) and therefore added weight, these are my pants to go for winter conditions. Maybe too warm for -5 C and higher, but without baselayer for temps below -10 Celcius they are fantastic.I have them in use for 4 years - skiing, snowshoeing, biking in winter etc. Love the fit, wind resistance, breathability, snow-shedding etc. Plus couldn't find better option as they were in WebSpecial for $90 :).You may try to look for other pants made of Power Shield / Power Shield Pro (they come also in no-insulation versions) or Schoeller Dryskin Extreme fabric - check Montane, RAB, Patagonia, Mammut etc.
Love these. Hiking in 90+ degrees or to 30, they regulate heat extremely well. I used to switch between shorts and pants depending on temp, but I don't now. I've plogged 12 miles in snow - plenty warm. I've scorched up 2500 ft in 95 degrees and felt cool.Excellent as windbreaker. Just enough stretch so it doesn't tug at the knees (articulated seams as well). Great pocket setups.They run a little heavy at 13.3 oz in size 32, but I only carry these and silk longjohns for bed and if I'll be standing around sub freezing for too long.
Another vote for the Mistral. I have a pair that I've worn on Rainer, and they performed splendidly, even in last year's June-uary conditions. Yes, it's true that they don't meet your third criteria, but, as Rick pointed out, you could easily sew on buttons for braces.One caveat: I would advise trying them on in person if possible. I'm a fairly reliable 36" waist, but I had to get these in a 34" waist.
Thanks everyone for the insightful replies! I love this community and it just makes this sport more enjoyable.Seeing as how REI had the Mistral and Scree in stock locally, I went to try them on after my day hike today. Some interesting things to note, I am a 32 waist and the Scree was quite loose around the waist, and fit everywhere else pretty good (a "regular" fit) as far as I could tell. The Mistral in a 32 was spot on in the waist and a bit tighter everywhere else. It was still extremely comfortable because of the stretch, but it definitely is a more athletic fit (look like skinny jeans on me). Is that how softshell pants are suppose to fit? My goto climbing gear for cold weather has always been base/fleece layers under a hardshell that was loose enough for a full range of motion on rock, so the athletic fit of the Mistral is something new to me. After ripping my second pair of hardshells this season, I figured it's time to give this "new" technology a try.
Edited by rmjapan on 06/19/2015 10:41:46 MDT.
i've noticed a trend in climbing soft shell pants over the last couple of years that the cut is getting more like jeans and the waists are getting lower. that may work for some, but not for all.soft shell ski pants will have a cut more relaxed and similar to what you are use to with hard shell pants, will be high waisted and have suspenders. i have a pair of cloudveil rayzar soft shell pants in schoeller dryskin. they aren't made anymore, but they show up for sale on ebay and some of the ski/climbing boards with some frequency. a pant that might also work is the mammut base jump or rab exodus . the ski style may be a little heavier than climbing soft shell pants, but you can save some weight by skipping the gaiters because most have protective patches to guard against spiking yourself with crampons and places to rig instep hold-downs. some of the ski style will also have zippered vent which the more simple (and lighter) pants will not have. if you aren't going to be spending much time on vertical ice or rock the more relaxed fit isn't as big an issue.
Steven,Interesting...my screes are from 2 years ago (and before that I had another pair that were from 2007) and both fit me fine in the waist in a size 30. I wear a 30x30 in my jeans. Maybe they changed the cut or construction a bit since then. My screes fit a bit skinny too, but mobility has never been a problem even when I use them ice climbing (which I've done very little of). They do very well for winter hikes, snowshoeing and mountaineering (which I've done a lot of). How was the inseam length? Did you try a 31 to see how they would fit?
John - I do like the design of the Warlows but I just can't stand using a belt for hiking/climbing when I have a pack and/or harness on!Konrad - I really love the Screes and wish I could make them work. I tried on several sizes but whenever they fit my waist snug they are too tight around the thighs, or vice versa. My thighs are definitely larger than a typical endurance athlete so that may have something to do with it. Even then, I was willing to live with a slightly loose waist if I could have figured out how to attach suspenders. Unless I use mini carabiners or the like to go from the belt looks to the suspenders, there is just no practical way to attach suspenders to these. Too bad because everything else (including price) was great! Thanks for the suggestion.Rick Reno and David - I liked everything about the Mistrals except they had the same suspender issues as the Scree, in addition to not quite fitting around my mountaineering boots. Thank though they are a nice pant otherwise.Nathan - I actually own a pair of Renegades, and use them in my daily wardrobe. They ride a little too low on my hip however for what I'd like in the snow. I like my waist band above my belly button if possible for alpine climbing. Excellent pant otherwise!Rick M - Patagonia Simple guides were nice, as well as the rest of their line of softshell pants. I really needed ankle zips though since I will use these pants on warmer weather hikes where I could be transitioning from softshells to my shorts underneath midday. Thank you for the suggestions.Richard F - You are exactly right! Softshell ski pants appeared like exactly what I was looking for...except I do not want built in gaiters for my softshell layer =(. I spent days looking through the different options though. One thing I noticed was how many COLORS are available! Why can't our hiking pants have these options?? Thanks for the tip though.Ken - I ended up going with your suggestion and just placed my order with Beyond Clothing. Instead of the Cold Fusion, I ordered the Steel Shock though. I liked their lower warmth rating and higher breathability. After a little digging, it looks the Steel Sock uses schoeller's dynamic fabric, which is what was used in the older version of the REI Mistral. If I am cold I would rather have the option of wearing heavier baselayers. Thank you very much for the website link, I do not think I would have come across their products otherwise.I guess I'll find out if I made the right decision in about 5 weeks! Thanks again everybody for your suggestions!
steven - let us know the results. i've almost pulled the trigger on softshell pants from them on more than one occassion.
Will do! They will certainly be put through their paces this season once I get ahold of them. I can do detailed pictures and an initial impression review as well.
Well glad to be of help. Please do let us know how it goes.

Here are our 5 top tips to getting your children active.
A misconception amongst men is that exercising for an hour or two will burn enough calories to let you indulge in your favorite foods. Think again! So how many calories can men really eat?
Ladies, how long would you have to run to really burn off that sneaky chocolate bar after work? Watch to find out how many calories women can really eat.
Most people allow themselves to indulge after working out. The reality is that you have to exercise for much longer to justify eating that chocolate bar. So, just how much exercise is enough?

While cardiovascular exercise is one of the best ways of burning calories, strength training should not be over looked when it comes to weight loss.
For every additional pound of muscle you gain your body burns around fifty extra calories a day. Increased muscle mass can also increase your basal metabolic rate by up to fifteen percent. This means that your body burns more calories when at rest. For example, for every two thousand calories you burn you could end up using an extra three hundred, the equivalent to a mars bar.
Studies have also shown that after a typical weight training session your metabolism is raised for up to thirty-six hours. This means that whilst sitting on the couch watching television you can still be burning calories.
To help build muscle you should be doing multiple reps. You should be able to finish your last rep with difficulty but still maintaining good form.
To progress you need to gradually increase the weight you are lifting and changing the number of reps you are doing.
Whilst these tips are important you must not forget about resting and recovery days. Muscles need time to grow and change and can't do that if they are being strained every day.
Women are often hesitant to try strength training, as they are afraid of bulking up too much. What they don't realise is that females don't have enough testosterone to develop large rippling muscles.
Adding weight lifting to your workout won't give you biceps like Arnold Schwarzenegger but will help you lose weight and feel fitter.

Bold and bright, black-and-white animals (edition 2000)
by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent
Work details
Bold and Bright Black-and-White Animals by Dorothy Hinshaw Patent
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a book about many different black and white animals in our world. The book was a fun read. The illustrations really brought the animals to life. My favorite part was reading about the Giant panda. I also really like that they had each animal listed in the back with it's scientific name. I think this is a great touch and would really be a good reference book for young students to use if they were to do a research project.
This book focuses on a wide variety of animals all of which are black and white in color. Descriptions, a few facts, and a bold illustration are given on each animal. Penguins, panda bears, killer whales, and even domestic animals are included. I think this book's purpose is to have readers develop an interest in animal life. Though this is not an outstanding book, I would read this to students when learning about animal camouflage and habitats.
This book is a unique way for children to learn about various kinds of black and white animals and how each of them live in the environment. From pandas to penguins to zebras, Dorothy Hinshaw Patent goes into detail about the practical functions of feathers, fur, and scales. Children also get an up close and personal look at the animals due to the great art work and illustrations of Kendahl Jan Jubb.
This book how's the different black and animals and why they are that color.
This book has poems for almost every black and white animal. The poetry in the book talks about why these animals are black and white. And whether it's to help help or just for the looks.

Thomas Vanek scored two goals to become the first rookie in a dozen years to score 30 goals for the Rochester Americans, but his biggest contribution on Friday night may simply have been where he put his body.
In helping create a screen in front of goalie Scott Clemmensen, Vanek enabled David Cullen's slap shot to sail into the net to break a third-period tie, and the Amerks zoomed away to a 5-3 victory over the Albany River Rats.
"I just wanted to plant my butt in front and take the goalie's scene away," said Vanek, who also had two assists as the Amerks spoiled Brian Gionta's season debut with Albany. ...

Success Story: Full-Throttle Recovery and Growth
If you know anything about how muscles grow, then you understand that every workout tears down muscle tissue. After a training session, your body repairs damage with the aid of the nutrition and supplements you've taken in before and after. Now imagine the recovery that comes with breaking more than a dozen bones, including at least one in every limb.
On April 14, 1999, 24-year-old James Grage was driving to San Jose to sign a new job contract. A pheasant flew across the road, and Grage swerved his 1974 Porsche 911 to avoid the bird and nearly destroyed himself. The car fishtailed and was hit twice by a truck. Grage, perhaps ejected through the sunroof, landed 95 feet away from the mangled Porsche, adding a more pressing meaning to his car's 911 moniker.
This may sound like the classic story of a rich guy getting his come-uppance, but Grage was a young bodybuilder, down on luck, and with his last ten bucks tucked into his wallet for gas. He desperately needed the job. His bad luck was about to take a turn for the worse, but this story has a happy ending for everyone, including the pheasant that escaped, unscathed.
For the full story, including what Grage's surgeon Will Doherty, Ph.D., M.D. said about the accident, pick-up the November 2013 issue of MENSFITNESS!

Grage was launched from the vehicle, he believes, when the twisted metal from the car severed the seatbelt. The car was destroyed [see photo above]. And so was Grage: He broke both femurs, and the left one gouging through his quadriceps muscles, breaking the skin, both lower legs folded behind his back. His pelvis was broken, and so were several ribs, both arms, and many smaller bones as well. His left arm was crushed, and the tendons and nerves of his right hand were severed.
Four Ways to Save Your Shoulders>>>
But the human body is capable of miracles, particularly when you have the will. The mind-muscle connection transcends workouts. Grage initially feared he was paralyzed; his doctors told him there was some hope he would walk again, but only after a lot of hard work. He spent six weeks in the hospital.
The classic saying is that, as you age, you get the face you deserve. The same can be said about your body. Genetics will only take you so far. James Grage's body, 190 pounds of muscular perfection, was nearly destroyed. He worked hard to recover, and he's earned the right, almost 15 years later, to look as good as he does.

Attorney General Roy Cooper has named North Carolina's next solicitor general.
John Maddrey will serve as the second ever solicitor general for the state.
"John's extensive legal knowledge , experience and appellate skills make him an excellent choice for North Carolina's solicitor general," Cooper said. "I am confident that he will continue to serve our state well in this new role."
Maddrey will be responsible for coordinating the handling civil appeals before state and federal appellate courts. He will also coordinate the Department of Justice's participation in amicus briefs.
He has served as an attorney with the Department for 31 years, most recently handling cases challenging the constitutionality of State statutes. His career with the Department also includes seven years in the Consumer Protection Division and 15 years in the Transportation Section.
Christopher G. Browning, the state's previous and first ever solicitor general, left the post earlier this year to return to private practice.
Among the high profile cases handled by the solicitor general's office recently are United State Supreme Court cases Alabama v. North Carolina (No. 132, Orig.) and South Carolina v. North Carolina (No. 138, Orig.). The solicitor general is also currently handling constitutional challenges to a 2010 state law banning video sweepstakes (Sandhill Amusements v. State; Hest Technologies v. State).
Maddrey received his B.A. degree with Highest Honors in Political Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1976 and his J.D. degree from the University of Virginia School of Law in 1979.
He and his wife Jennifer live in Raleigh and have three children.

Indiana's Pete Baxter will chair the 15th NCST INDIANAPOLIS — Pete Baxter, state pupil transportation director in Indiana, has been named general conference chair for the 15th National Congress on School Transportation (NCST). Leeds Pickering, Wyoming's pupil transportation director, was selected vice chair. Baxter succeeds Charlie Hood, Florida's state pupil transportation director, who was named chair of the Interpretation Committee. Hood spearheaded the 14th NCST, which was held last May in Warrensburg, Mo. The 15th NCST will be held in 2010, again in Warrensburg.

All Ledyard coach Jim Buonocore wanted to be at halftime was within striking distance of Ansonia, and going into the locker room the Colonels were certainly in Saturday's game, down by 12 points.
Buonocore and his coaching staff, however, were not jumping for joy. Instead, there was a sense the worst was still to come. Ledyard's defense had come up big in the first half on several occasions, but the offense was capable of producing only 50 yards and just three first downs.
"It's like a dam, and the water was coming," Buonocore said. "There's only so much that the dam can hold, and defensively, when you give them that many snaps, that many opportunities — at some point — it's going to break."
The crack came late in the third quarter and Ansonia came rushing through in the fourth. The Chargers waltzed away with their state-record 17th state football title with a 38-0 win in the Class M championship game at Rentschler Field.
"I wasn't crying because we lost — it's football — I was crying because it was the last time I'm going to be with my football team," Ledyard senior Dallas Smith said. "It was tough, but I'm happy that I got to come here."
Fellow senior Alex Manwaring was blunt.
"These guys worked very hard all season and for it to end like this, it sucks," he said.
The Colonels knew they had to keep possession. If they could be successful, they could limit the carries of Ansonia sophomore running back Arkeel Newsome. Even despite failing in the first half of their mission — all but two of the Ledyard possessions in the first half were three-and-outs, and one of those ended on a Ledyard turnover — the Colonels "limited" Newsome to 109 yards and one touchdown.
"We did the unthinkable," Smith said. "We contained Arkeel Newsome."
But the Chargers (14-0) did take a 12-0 lead when Elliot Chudwick found Raeshaun Finney open in the end zone for a 7-yard touchdown pass.
Physical play
Ledyard forced Ansonia to give the ball up on downs, a fumble and a punt in the first half, but the offense wasn't up to the task. Manwaring, who finished the season with 2,572 yards (23 carries, 116 yards versus Ansonia), was bottled up in the first half, getting only 17 yards on 9 carries, and looked tentative.
"I will have to go back and look at the film, but I thought he was ready to go," Buonocore said. "They were physical, they were fast, they got up in our face and made us work for every single yard that we got. That took its toll on our defense."
Page 2 of 2 -
Ledyard (11-2) forced a punt and Matt Daggett intercepted a shovel pass on the Chargers' first two possessions of the second half, but when the offense again went nowhere, it put the defense at the mercy of Newsome. His 30-yard burst up the middle, taking advantage of a Ledyard blitz, brought Ansonia down to the Colonels' 27-yard line. An unsportsmanlike call against Ledyard moved it to the 13.
Four plays later, on 4th-and-7, Chudwick found Andrew Matos open for an eight-yard score and an 18-0 lead.
Not finished
Just 2 minutes, 15 seconds after the touchdown pass, Newsome went up the middle for a 50-yard score. After helping to set up a Tyler Lester 6-yard run for a score with 5:30 to play, Newsome beat Manwaring in a foot race down the sidelines for a 95-yard score with 1:33 left.
"He's fast, I'm slow. That's not a good combination," Manwaring said.
Newsome finished with 364 yards to give him 3,763 yards on the year. That broke the single season state record held by former Charger Alex Thomas, and also is best in the nation this year among high school running backs.
"It's crazy. I'm really happy," Newsome said of the national rushing title.
"The only record he really cares about, and the only record he set was (being a part of) the first team to go 14-0," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said. "Any time you do something that's never been done in Connecticut high school football before, is pretty special."

TP Vision create Philips DesignLine HDTV from sheet of glass
updated 04:31 pm EDT, Fri March 15, 2013
Gradient-covered glass HDTV designed to lean against wall
Dutch television manufacturer TP Vision has created a new TV that replaces the bezel and base stand with a single pane of glass. The Philips DesignLine TV has a black gradient lowering from the screen to the floor that also hides the screen itself when switched off, and the TV itself is designed to lean against a wall or pillar.
In two versions measuring 46 inches and 55 inches, the screen panel sits behind the glass, uses the Perfect Pixel HD engine for image processing, is capable a 1,400Hz frame rate, and can also display 3D imagery at a Full HD resolution. Smart TV functionality is offered through a remote control with a built-in keyboard and point capability, while the TV itself has on-board Wi-Fi, supports the Philips MyRemote app, Miracast, and SimplyShare for wireless streaming from computers and mobile devices. A three-sided Ambilight XL that projects colors matching the screen content shines onto the supporting wall behind the set, and an optional MultiRoom upgrade will allow it to stream broadcast content from the master TV to a secondary set elsewhere in the home.
A price was not revealed by the company, though it is confirmed to go on sale during the second quarter in Europe and Russia.

Saxonburg man accused in child's burning waives hearing
For "tactical reasons," an attorney representing a Saxonburg man accused of participating in a series of assaults on his then-girlfriend's young son waived his client's right to a preliminary hearing on three aggravated assault charges Wednesday in Butler County Court.
Ed Myers, 36, is charged in connection with an alleged incident on May 25 in which he is accused of pouring flammable nail polish remover over a 7-year-old boy and watching as one of his own sons set the liquid aflame. He is accused of shooting the child with an Airsoft rifle, as well, causing multiple bruises.
Police say the incident occurred while Myers was watching the boy along with his own juvenile sons at his Carol Drive home.
Myers' attorney, Gerald Cassady, requested Wednesday's hearing before Judge William Shaffer after the district attorney's office refiled the assault charges two months after a preliminary hearing in district court.
"A number of factors went into the decision to re-file, including obtaining additional evidence and having the opportunity to sit down and review it," Assistant District Attorney Richard Bosco said.
But Cassady contends that the prosecutor's office exceeded its authority by adding the charges in spite of an agreement reached in municipal court in which Myers waived his right to a preliminary hearing in exchange for an aggravated assault charge being dropped.
He said his client had the right to rebut the district attorney's evidence against him.
But further review of evidence in the case changed Cassady's mind.
"After reviewing the discovery provided thus far, it's our intention, for tactical reasons, to waive the preliminary hearing," Cassady said. He declined to elaborate.
"We'll see how things play out at trial," he said. "At this point, it doesn't look like there's going to be a plea agreement."
Myers is also charged with one count each of simple assault, child endangerment, endangering another person and two drug offenses.
He is being held in the Butler County jail in lieu of $250,000 bond.

Appearing in an NHL game for the first time since last November due to a concussion, St. Louis Blues forward David Perron scored in the first period of his return to the lineup on Saturday night against the Chicago Blackhawks.
He missed 97 games due to the concussion that he suffered in a game against the San Jose Sharks when he was hit by Joe Thornton. Prior to the game on Saturday Perron Tweeted that Thornton sent him a text message wishing him luck in his return.
It took him just three shifts to score his first goal of the year, and it was a nice one as he went to the front of the net, picked up a loose puck and demonstrated some nice puckhandling ability in a tight space, beating Blackhawks goaltender Ray Emery.
Prior to his injury last year Perron had scored five goals in 10 games, and in 235 career games entering Saturday the former first-round pick had scored 53 goals over parts of four NHL seasons, including a career-high 20 during the 2009-10 campaign.

A 43-year-old woman was killed in a head-on crash on the Westside on Thursday morning.
The crash happened at Devoe Street and Cahoon Road, near Interstate 10 and just west of Interstate 295, about 8:40 a.m.
Jacksonville police said a Pontiac van was heading east on Devoe and a white Honda car was heading west. Police said for unknown reasons, the van drifted into the other lane and hit the Honda head-on.
There was a curve in the road at that point.
A man in the van was taken to St. Vincent's Medical Center in non-life-threatening condition.
Wendy Wilburn, the woman in the Honda, was taken to UF Health Jacksonville, where she died.
Police said their investigation is ongoing.
