Force of Spirit
Kirkus Reviews 2000 September #1
Mixed essays on matters of life, death, and academia.Sanders (Hunting for Hope, 1998) opens with a meditation on the loss of loved ones, the inevitable leave-taking of children who grow up to make lives and homes of their own, and the advancing years--events that can easily set a person to wondering what life is all about. He goes on to recount his long-standing concern with scriptural questions, venturing thoughtful readings of biblical passages and offering a few conclusions on the spiritual plane. Someof these are elegant in their plainspoken sincerity: "I no longer believe that Jesus can do our dying for us; we must do that for ourselves, one by one." Sanders goes on to deliver fine pieces on such topics as the many kinds of wood that make up his Bloomington, Indiana, house (whose patterns, he claims, point to the underlying order of nature) and the importance of diversity in agriculture and culture alike. His energy soon flags, however, and he strays far from the questions of spirit his title promises into hurried, even throwaway essays on the books he keeps in his bedroom and the kind of writing he expects from the college students in his charge. His least successful essays are second-person addresses to his father and other family members ("Whenever I get irritated by the latest corruption or cruelty in the daily news, I remember you grumbling as you read the paper"), epistles that unfold with all the subtlety of a greeting card and lower the average considerably.Capably written but perfunctory pieces that will fail to please any but the most devoted readers. Copyright 2000 Kirkus Reviews
Library Journal Reviews 2000 October #1
"I have reached the time in life when I can no longer put off asking the ultimate questions," writes Sanders (The Country of Language). In 14 essays, the award-winning author takes up such topics as the death of parents and marriage of children, the valuable lessons of the natural world, and the sacredness of good work and good writing. He visits a Kansas farmer who is trying to revolutionize farming, moving it from a chemical- and oil-dependent monoculture to a perennial polyculture that preserves the earth. He also visits a Quaker service: "The louder [the] human racket becomes, the more I value those who are willing, like the Buddhists and Benedictines and Quakers, to brave the silence." Like Thomas Merton, he has found that "the whole mechanism of modern life is geared for a flight from God." As might be expected from Sanders, these selections are articulate and penetrating, constituting his own explorations for answers and meaning. Recommended for public and academic libraries. Nancy P.

When you initially install the InCabin Browser, it is setup for a 1280x1024 Flight Sim resolution AND 1280x1024 Windows operating system resolution. We hope this is most peoples settings these days. If not, the browser will be off the screen if you made no changes after the InCabin Browser install.
To fix this just replace the InCabinBrowserConfig.xml file (make a backup copy first) found in [YOUR FLIGHT SIM ROOT FOLDER]\InCabin\Browser with either InCabinBrowserConfig_800x600_full.xml or InCabinBrowserConfig_1024x768_full.xml. Be sure to rename either of these files to InCabinBrowserConfig.xml. Choose the file that reflects your current Windows and Flight Sim resolution.
If your Windows operating system resolution is lower than your Flight Sim resolution then email us at firstname.lastname@example.com. We hope this would not be the case, but we will let you know what it takes to get it with that resolution configuration. I have also attached the config files in a zip to this post in case you lose the original ones.
Keep in mind you can change the location yourself once you have the entire window on the screen. We do not allow mouse dragging of the InCabin Browser window because it currently produces ugly results.

Brown Vetoes Limits on Law Enforcement Cooperation with Immigration Authorities
Published on Mon, Oct 01, 2012
IPC's own Michele Waslin was quoted in yesterday's KQED article about the vetoed California bill that would have limited local law enforcement's ability to work with federal immigration authorities:
"The problem with [Secure Communities] is that the research that's been done so far has shown that a lot of the people that are being held under these detainers, the people that are being identified by ICE, are not serious criminals, violent criminals," said Michele Waslin of the Immigration Policy Center, a research and analysis group based in Washington, D.C.

|FreeTDS User Guide: A Guide to Installing, Configuring, and Running FreeTDS
|Chapter 3. Install FreeTDS
The TDS protocol version is probably something you'd rather not know even existed, much less something you'd have to choose. But there's not that much to it, really. Unless you run into an incompatibility, you're best off running with the highest protocol version supported by your server. That's what the vendors' own products do, which is why when you read the Sybase or Microsoft documentation you find no mention of TDS versions.
Table 3-1. Versions of the TDS Protocol, by Product
|TDS Version
|Sybase before System 10, Microsoft SQL Server 6.x
|Still works with all products, subject to its limitations.
|Sybase System 10 and above
|Still the most current protocol used by Sybase.
|Sybase System SQL Anywhere
|5.0 only
|Originally Watcom SQL Server, a completely separate codebase. Our best information is that SQL Anywhere first supported TDS in version 5.5.03 using the OpenServer Gateway (OSG), and native TDS 5.0 support arrived with version 6.0.
|Microsoft SQL Server 7.0
|Includes support for the extended datatypes in SQL Server 7.0 (such as char/
varchar fields of more than 255 characters), and support for Unicode.
|Microsoft SQL Server 2000
|Include support for
bigint (64 bit integers),
variant and collation on all fields. Collation is not widely used.
|Microsoft SQL Server 2005
|Includes support for varchar(max), varbinary(max), xml datatypes and MARS[a].
|Microsoft SQL Server 2008
|7.2 (unchanged)
a. Multiple Active Result Sets. FreeTDS does not support MARS.
For best results, use the highest version of the protocol supported by your server. If you encounter problems, try a lower version. If that works, though, please report it to the mailing list! [1]
TDS 4.2 has limitations
ASCII only, of course.
RPC is not supported.
BCP is not supported.
varchar fields are limited to 255 characters. If your table defines longer fields, they'll be truncated.
dynamic queries (also called prepared statements) are not supported.
The protocol version may also affect how database servers interpret commands. For example, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is known to behave differently with versions 4.2 and 7.0. Version 7.0 is recommended for compatibility with SQL Server tools.
Want to help? Try out the auto-protocol feature. FreeTDS has experimental support for iteratively trying protocol connections until it finds one the server accepts. This is suitable when query responses are non-trivial (because the tiny delay in connecting is thus insignificant). Try setting your TDS version to 0 and report your results.

2views of the same island
2views of the same island
I like the second map very much. Good use of color and you give a good impression of height.
What's the first map supposed to represent?
Check out my City Designer 3 tutorials. See my fantasy (city) maps in this thread.
Gandwarf has fallen into shadow...
it's the caves in the island, in the second map you can see the entrances, just compare them
I like your style, it reminds me of the things I see at golf clubs. Nice job.
If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.
-J. Robert Oppenheimer (father of the atom bomb) alluding to The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 11, Verse 32)
My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
don't forget to rate it
Overall I like it - but the beveling on the 'island' is a bit much for my tastes - it works for the caves though.

Rashes in my body @ 7 weeks pregnant
I started to get this itchy rashes at around 4 weeks of being pregnant. I did not know at that time that I was pregnant. I initially had it in the armpit area, arms. Now, it gradually spread to my lower back, side of my tummy, buttocks, legs.. everywhere... =( Now at 7 weeks, I still have this rash and its very uncomfortable and very itchy especially @ night and while I'm in the shower. My dermatologist blames it on the food I eat, although nothing has changed in my diet. She gave me some steroids and it doesnt seem to work at all.. My OB GYN blames it on my hormones. I asked her if it was PUPPS, she said its not since it too soon in my pregnancy. I tried cortizone cream, it did not really help me much.. What can i use to get rid of these itchy , tiny bumpy rashes? Help... =(

As strange as this sounds, I also developed a rash around 10 wks. At first the doctors (OBGYN and Derm) thought it was from a medicine I had taken. I immediately stopped taking it, but the rash continued to get worse. It went full body, and after some poking and investigating, both doctors agreed that it was hormonal, but not technically MY hormonal changes that caused it! See around that time is when the fetus kicks up it's own gender making hormones, in my case we found out it was a boy. The doctors said that on occasions the female body will respond to a surge of testosterone, and that the surge can come in a form of a rash because my body was responding to the foreign protein matter me and my baby we making in overdrive to start defining his gender. So, I know it sounds far fetched, but I am wondering how many of you have had boys with this rash. By the way, the doctors perscribed a 6 day steroid pill (almost like a Zpak) it did WONDERS.posted 03/01/2010 by Solbean2002
It's possible you've developed an allergy to something you aren't normally allergic to, either a food, perfume, soap, detergent, etc. PGcy does weird things to your body sometimes! When I was PG with my first, I developed a horrible case of hives which did not go away after normal treatment. I ended up at the emergency room, had a mega-dose of antihistamines and steroids, and they finally left me. Seek a second opinion. If it is an allergy to something, it's likely you will never find the cause unless the hives come back several times after the same allergen is introduced. Good luck!posted 03/23/2010 by blondeUSmommaUK
i started itching badly and got a rash on my chest and my doctor said it was a yeast infection. My friends mother said she got yeast infections all over and i never heard of it untill i mentioned the itching and rash. the rash was res with tiny dots and i had to take an antibiotic and it went away. My doc said its common during pregnancyposted 03/29/2010 by butterfliesxoxo_1988
My friend had this problem and it started around her 2nd month. She really suffered a lot and it remained throughout and she had to take steriods. Dr's confirmed it would not effect the baby.She delivered the baby in the 1st week of 8th month and had a difficult time throughout. Sorry! but better get diagnosed properly so that you can get the right treatment.posted 03/22/2010 by bainspriya
I had the same thing here wit my 2nd pregnancy and mine was due to the type of prenatals i was taking.. I stopped them and within a week the rashes started to go away.. good luck!!posted 03/22/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I had a horrible hive breakout soon after conception and it still kicks up here and there. I was itchy from scalp to toe! It's a mystery why it happened to me...but Zyrtec, steroids and 1% cortizone cream helped ease the itchiness! Try to avoid getting too warm (don't take a hot shower...it's the worst thing you can do). Wear clothes that are light weight and breathable (like cotton). Good luck! I feel your pain...literally!posted 03/15/2010 by Mom012108
Ask your doctor if you can take zyrtec for your rash/hives. The pregnancy hormones are probably causing an imbalance in your body and allergens can be problematic even if they were not prior. Zrytec is safe (so I have been told and have used) while being pregnant. Also it really helps with hives.posted 03/15/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
Same here... so far, the rashes are on my upper arms. It itches like crazy! I think it's starting on my neck, because I'm getting the same sensation there too. *(sigh)* The small price we pay for our miraculous reward!!posted 03/02/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I had the hives almost immediately after conception every day for 3 weeks. I was tested for allergies and nothing came up, doc said it was normal to have rashes/irritations during pregnancy.posted 03/01/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
yes i notice what i was allergic to i got it all over my body when i was about 3-4 weeks pregnant, then I started to take benedryl and that helped a little so it is safe in your first trimester, my doctor also prescribed my .1% cream it got better so this will probably help you out..cus i still get the itches to im having it here and thereposted 02/21/2010 by shelly2010

How does a Keuka degree fit into daily military life?
Just ask U.S. Air Force Capt. Ryan Maddox '07, who graduated with a B.A. in math and a B.S. in business management, and now serves as operations officer for the U.S. Air Force 52nd Equipment Maintenance Squadron, which includes four officers and 461 enlisted airmen at Spangdahlem Air Base in Germany. Maddox is second-in-command to the squadron commander.
"I handle operations and she handles the personnel—the pats on the back and the kicks in the butt, so to speak," he said. "We provide munitions support and we do maintenance. Let's say after flying, a part gets damaged and needs repair. We repair it through metal fabrication."
In addition, the squadron handles what Maddox calls "deep tissue maintenance," such that after every 400 flight hours logged by a particular plane, it will spend from 7-20 days in the base hangar getting stripped down for more intensive analysis or repairs.
"As far as business is concerned, maintenance and munitions is pretty much like any other business. We have a product, a process, customers, logistics, and a supply chain. I market my product to my customers – other squadrons – so they get what they want and I'm able to supply it. It's almost a direct correlation [to business]." (more…)
Editor's Note: This article first appeared in the Spring 2001 issue of Keuka Magazine:
When senior Ted Evans applied for a grant from the Rochester Academy of Science (RAS), he asked for $340 to fund his research on the male green an ole, a type of lizard.
He not only received full funding for his research, but the RAS also gave him an unrestricted award of $50 to be used any way he wished.
"Theodore Evans' proposal was unanimously reviewed as the best proposal we received this year," wrote the chair of the RAS Student Grants Committee.
Evans is studying the male green anole (American chameleon), a lizard that will bob its head during aggressive displays, such as when defending its territory. The lizards also have a flap of skin under their throat, known as a dewlap, which can expand to a bright red for a flashy display. Evans uses a video camera to record the behavior of a male lizard, including the pattern of head bobs, when alone, when paired with another male, and
when paired with a female.
Evans, who studied primate behavior during his senior Field Period at Bucknell University, plans to attend graduate school and major in animal behavior.

This past month, the hubby and I have committed to do better meal planning and eating in. I tracked our expenses for the past two months and we came to the realization that we spend an enormous amount on eating out. So to keep us on track, I've been using a meal planning tool called Plan to Eat. I'm on my first month free trial and so far it's worked well. I can save recipes from blogs I read and drag and drop them directly into my planner. I can bring it up on my iPad to cook with in the kitchen (although I do hope they develop an ap). Our commitment to eating in and the meal planner have reignited my love at looking at food blogs! I've found a few more favorites that I will be sharing with you soon!
In the meantime, some photos from a recent baby shower for a friend! My friend Lorin is due in October and our other friend Amie and I hosted the shower at my house. We had a blast planning a cute theme and cooking and baking to our hearts desire! I am especially proud of my cupcakes – two people asked which bakery I bought them from! If you want to know – the link for the recipe is below – easy, quick and REALLY tasty!
These cupcakes are Vanilla but I called them "Sugar Cooke" because they were super sweet and really tasted like a sugar cookie. Even the tops of the cupcakes were a little crispy and cookie-like. I will be making them again!
Our pom pom decorations were super easy too – we used this link: http://www.marthastewart.com/265163/pom-poms-and-luminarias-how-to

With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, campaigns across the country have already emptied most of their opposition research binders. The result? Some pretty brutal TV ads. With input from close to a dozen campaign strategists, we came to a consensus on some of the toughest ads of the 2012 cycle so far. Let us know which ads we may have missed.
"Never, Ever" This ad in the race for Arizona Senate came before Democratic nominee Richard Carmona had to apologize for telling a male debate moderator he was "prettier" than Candy Crowley. The persistent Republican attack on Carmona: he has issues with anger and women.
Tammy Duckworth This spot from the campaign of Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth easily qualifies as one of the nastiest of the year. It labels Rep. Joe Walsh (R-Ill.) a "deadbeat dad."
"Decide" This ad from Florida Republican Rep. Allen West wins for best use of an opponent's mugshot so far this cycle. The spot hinges on details of Democrat Patrick Murphy's 2003 arrest on a disorderly conduct charge.
"2003" Murphy's rebuttal to the West spot that featured the Democrat's mugshot also makes the list.
"Diana" Sen. Claire McCaskill's (D-Mo.) campaign is betting the fallout from her GOP opponent's "legitimate rape" remarks will ultimately sink his campaign. McCaskill recently rolled out a series of ads in which rape victims condemn Rep. Todd Akin's remarks direct to camera.
"Movie" Here's a spot from the GOP primary that ensued after Rep. Thaddeus McCotter abruptly resigned earlier this year. Write-in candidate Nancy Cassis labeled opponent Kerry Bentivolio a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Bentivolio called the spot outrageous. He won the primary over Cassis.
Joe Arpaio A spot from Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio accuses his Democratic opponent Paul Penzone of abusing his wife, which Penzone has vigorously denied.
"Unhinged" Here's a spot that's notable more for the debate exchange that preceeded it. In a race that's vying for the title of nastiest congressional contest in the country, incumbent California Democratic Reps. Howard Berman and Brad Sherman nearly came to blows. This Berman attack ad was the result:
"Understands" While the Soptic ad may have faded from view over the past couple of months, it still ranks among the most controversial and talked about spots of the 2012 cycle.
The ad, funded by the Democratic Super PAC Priorities USA Action, featured steelworker Joe Soptic whose wife died of cancer in 2006. The spot essentially blames Romney for her death.

At knitting group yesterday, I worked on fingerless mitts for a gift. They were turning out too big (despite my swatching), so they will be frogged and restarted. But one of the gals told me that Tammy from the grocery store (we are a very small rural community) was talking about how cold her hands always are when she's at the store. Jeannette (from knitting group) told her about me making fingerless mitts lately, Tammy said she'd really like a pair of those…
So after group…Continue

Out of the 100 Sheriff's Offices in the state, only five are accredited. The others are Durham, Forsyth, Cumberland and Hoke counties. Those departments must comply with some 400 applicable standards of professionalism in order to maintain accredited status.

Your Opinion: No simple solutions to complex issues
Friday, July 29, 2011
Dear Editor:
It looks increasingly likely that the radical right-wing Republicans in the House of Representatives will force the country into a financial disaster next Tuesday. They will do this by blocking any rational attempt to raise the debt ceiling. If the ceiling is not raised the U.S. Treasury can't borrow the money needed to pay outstanding bills.
It is ironic that the Republicans rail against government spending when it was largely their actions that brought about the current financial crisis. The Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003 will cost the country $1.7 trillion in lost tax revenue. (Bloomberg.com, 7/26/11) The Bush war on Iraq will cost close to another trillion dollars.
The Bush recession brought on by deregulation of the housing and banking industries cost trillions more — at least $1.5 trillion in remedial costs (TARP, $700 billion, and the stimulus program, $800 billion) plus a huge amount in lost taxes when the economy crashed.
Having brought the country to its knees the Republican party, under the virtual control of its radical right wing, now wants to make matters even worse. They threaten to push the country into default on its debts unless the budget deficit is reduced solely through spending cuts with no additional tax revenue whatsoever.
They even oppose closing the corporate tax loopholes that allowed General Electric to earn over $3 billion in profits and pay no taxes.
Massive spending cuts will of course throw many more people out of work and further damage the economy. Additionally, Republican actions will very likely result in a down-grade of the United States' credit rating. That will result in higher interest rates and further damage to the economy.
The trouble with the right-wing Republicans is that they want simple solutions (cut spending, cut taxes) to complicated problems (e.g., retirement planning and medical care in a mass society).
Perhaps things were simpler when the Constitution was written in 1787.
Then we were a country of 13 states and about four million people.
Today we have 50 states and over 300 million people. The country has changed and one-sentence solutions just don't suffice for today's problems. Right-wing Republicans need to realize this and think past their ideological blinders.

Pre-Conference Workshops
Several full-day and half-day pre-conference workshops will be offered during the day of September 30th. Workshops provide attendees an opportunity to explore more deeply topics that may be of interest to them and their institutions. Attendees come away with specific, practical knowledge that they can put to work when they return to their institutions. Classes include:
Data and Decisions to Support Student Success
Full Day, 9:00 am - 4:00 pm
Presented by:
Gerald McLaughlin, DePaul University
Richard Howard, University of Minnesota
Josetta McLaughlin, Roosevelt University
Increasingly, college and university leaders base strategic decisions on data. The ability to access, analyze, and convert data into strategic information is critical for institutions to remain competitive with other institutions. This full day workshop will focus on ways to identify peer and competitive institutions, define key institutional performance measures related to retention and compare relative positions on these measures with other institutions. A team approach will be used in this workshop, so senior management and their institutional researchers are encouraged to sign up together for this workshop for maximum benefit.
Retention For Rookies
Half Day, 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Presented by:
Tim Culver, Noel-Levitz
You've just been named coordinator of student retention at your institution-now what? Retention for Rookies is intended to give you a solid orientation about the retention field. Learn basic retention concepts. Identify resources that can help you evaluate the current state of affairs at your institution. Discover retention strategies that get results at two-year and four-year institutions and learn the best ways to plan for programs by laying the groundwork for success and gaining faculty support. A good starter course for those of you who have recently been told that "retention and student success" have been added to your responsibilities.
Early Alert and Warning Programs: An Intentional Approach to Ensuring Student Success and Persistence
Half Day, 8:30 am - 12:00 pm
Presented by:
Brandon Miller, Baylor University
This workshop will provide essential information to administrators, enrollment managers, faculty and professional advisors for designing and implementing a comprehensive and collaborative early alert and intervention program for their own respective campuses. Specific topics that will be addressed in this presentation include: description of key components of an early warning system, overview of relevant literature as well as existing early alert/intervention programs, methods for recruiting, training, maintaining communications with key stakeholders, techniques for engaging students in the process of grade recovery and planning for future success, as well as a discussion of assessment models that identify students most likely to depart prior to degree completion.
Targeted Intervention for At-Risk First-Time College Students and Transfers
Half Day, 1:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Presented by:
DeLaine Priest, University of Central Florida
Charlene Stinard, University of Central Florida
Bernadette Jungblut, University of Central Florida
How does the academy focus on identifying and utilizing targeted intervention programming for at-risk First Time in College students (FTICs) and transfer students confronting retention failure? This data-driven session examines in detail the retention challenges for specific sub-groups of FTICs and transfer students; the results of programs designed to address those challenges; and the transferability of these identification and programming experiences to other colleges and universities. We envision a three-dimensional mapping of data and findings with reference to at-risk students, program options, and institutional contexts that will provide workshop participants with at least three strategies for implementation in their respective campus communities.

Attack of Tom Cruise
Fight for America...When the Lights are on
Matt Taibbi
Democrats were all over the news last week, acting like an
bitched about Tom DeLay, stalling a transparent Republican
effort to self-investigate (read: bury) the charges against
him. They pounded their fists in righteous indignation over
the nomination of John Bolton. And they freaked out to the
man about Bill Frist's decision to denounce the Democrats
as being "against people of faith."
John Kerry issued a cheeky "Can you believe these fucking
guys?" quote about Frist that was picked up in papers
across the country. "We're going to allow the majority
leader to invoke faith to rewrite Senate rules, to put substandard
extremist judges on the bench?" he shrieked.
the Bolton fracas, the voice leading the opposition charge
was none other than Joe Biden, who was unusually pointed and
vicious about the Bush nominee, all but accusing him of lying
to Congress. In a voice dripping with Capra-esque civic-mindedness,
Biden said: "I'm less concerned about the interests of
the U.N. than I am the interests of the United States of America
and how we can look straight-faced in the mirror and say,
'this guy is the face we want to put forward to the whole
was the front-and-center stuff. Democrats were less vocal
about some of the other shenanigans going down in Congress.
In the last two weeks, a number of major bills were passed
with wide bipartisan support, including an $81 billion spending
bill for military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, an energy
bill containing some $12 billion in tax breaks and subsidies
for the energy industry, andlast but not leastthe so-called
Bankruptcy Reform bill, that long-awaited hot wet dream of
the commercial lending industry.
Energy bill, which included a $2 billion subsidy to the oil
and gas industry to research drilling in the Gulf of Mexico,
and cleared the way for oil drilling in the Alaskan wildlife
refuge, was passed by the House on Earth Day in a touching
gesture to environmental idealism. It passed by a vote of
249-183, marking the sixth time this year that at least 40
House Democrats voted for a Republican-sponsored bill.
of those other instances involved the Bankruptcy Reform bill,
which unlike the energy bill has already cleared both houses
and been signed into law. This admirably vicious piece of
legislationwhich one Harvard expert on bankruptcy described
as having been "designed to point a thousand daggers
squarely at the consumer in trouble"will essentially
make it next to impossible to declare personal bankruptcy.
central feature of the bill is the creation of a so-called
"means test," a mechanism that will employ the IRS
to investigate the means and assets of individuals to determine
if they are eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The
test is elaborate and complicated, but the gist of it is that
if you own your own underwear, you will not pass it. Other
excellent provisions of the bill include an elimination of
automatic stays of evictions, and the exclusion of certain
types of student loans from Chapter 7 consideration.
credit-card industry has been gnashing its teeth to get this
bitch passed for about eight years. When it finally succeeded,
it did so with margins of 302-126 in the House, and 74-25
in the Senate.
did it manage those numbers? Among other things, the industry
made some $7,978,034 in political contributions in 2004 alone,
with $2,925,825 of that going to Democrats. Not surprisingly,
some of its biggest contributions were to the leading Democrat
traitor-whores who cheerleaded the thing through Congress.
Among the top 20 recipients of credit-card money in the past
year were Senate Democrats like Evan Bayh of Indiana, Harry
Reid of Nevada, and the Delaware contingent of Tom Carper
and Bidenall of whom voted for S.256.
congressional legislation, it's always useful to look in the
fine print, because the broad strokes of almost any bill can
be made to sound quite sane. With the Bankruptcy Reform business,
Bush-haters naturally pounced on the baldly hypocritical premise
of the bill. They balked when Bush, in signing it into law,
said, "If someone does not pay his or her debts, the
rest of society ends up paying them." This from a man
who's running massive federal deficits that our grandchildren
will have to pay for; this from a man who ran up $3 million
in bank debts as president of a failed company called Spectrum
7, only to be bailed out by a company called Harken.
Bush-hating crowd can cry foul about this stuff all they want,
and they obviously have a point in doing so. But the Bankruptcy
Reform bill sounds reasonable on its face. If you borrow
money, you should pay it, right? Why should it be Citibank's
problem if you don't get a job?
that this bill goes out of its way to stick you even if the
debts aren't your fault. In amendment after amendment leading
up to the final vote on this bill, Republicanswith the help
of a dependable group of contribution-rich Democratsshot
down every conceivable legitimate exemption to means testing.
This included proposed exemptions for women whose debts were
incurred due to non-payment of alimony and child support,
for the dependent spouses of servicemen killed in action,
and for people whose debts came about as a result of catastrophic
medical problems.
my absolute favorite is the amendment, proposed by Bill Nelson
of Florida, to exempt from means testing individuals whose
debts were incurred as a result of identity fraud. It would
be hard to imagine any legitimate objection to this amendment.
The only rational objection to this amendment would be that
your tongue is so far up the ass of MBNA that you can't possibly
vote for it. Which says something about the Senate; the amendment
was crushed, 61-37.
the Democrats who voted "Nay" to that amendment
were Carper, who received $86,107 from credit card companies
last year, and our Capra-esque civic hero Biden, who received
a total of $144,700 between 1999 and 2004far more than he
received from any other industry.
bill was held up only when Republicans and Democrats locked
horns over barring abortion clinic protesters from filing
for bankruptcy if they were sued. Republicans balked, the
Democrats refused to budge, and the long "ideological"
tug-of-war ended only when an amendment on this issue sponsored
by local swine Chuck Schumer was finally defeated.
whole thing is a perfect microcosm of our national politics.
On the front pages, the Democrats feud with the Republicans
like pit bulls over a bunch of idiotic and mostly irrelevant
social issues, usually involving JesusTerri Schiavo, judicial
nominations, the bankruptcy claims of anti-abortion terrorists.
Whenever the cameras are on, they trot out a shrill hag like
Nancy Pelosia personage very proficient at being loud, but
suspiciously ineffective at instilling party disciplineto
hysterically denounce the Republicans as the spawn of Satan.
But once the lights are off, they hand the party reins to
a few dozen whores who make sure the money votes go the right
do this every time, yet we still buy their Capra act. Are
we really all that stupid?

High School students meet senior Army leaders
December 9, 2008
By J.D. Leipold
WASHINGTON (Army News Service, Dec. 9, 2008) - In a departure from hosting business and community leaders as part of an ongoing executive partnerships office program, Secretary of the Army Pete Geren briefed 27 juniors and seniors from George Mason High School in Falls Church, Va., Dec. 4, on the many roles and responsibilities of the Army.
Geren opened his session sharing his seven year career at the Pentagon with the international relations students and speaking about his specific responsibilities as well as the Army's past and present relationship with Congress. He spoke about the challenges of recruiting and the development of the officer corps and answered questions about how he became the secretary.
"Every year the Army recruits 175,000 men and women to join the active, National Guard and Reserve and to give you a sense of the scale, that's as big as the entire United States Marine Corps. That many people join the Army every year.
"Four thousand new officers are commissioned through ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) programs every year out of colleges around the country and about 1,000 officers are commissioned through West Point every year," he added. He thanked the students for visiting the Pentagon and asked them to consider careers in the military or in civilian service.
The students were also briefed by Lt. Col. Laura Potter who discussed the global reach of the Army and how as an intelligence officer, she's worked with three national-level intelligence agencies in her 19-year career, as well as her duty stations in Iraq, Korea, Uruguay and the Republic of Georgia, where she served as a United Nations observer.
"It was really fascinating to working alongside different nations and learn how their militaries run," Potter said. "Our job was to drive around the area of conflict and keep the conflicted parties apart and make sure they weren't violating any rules set by UN Security Council resolutions. I got to do a lot of neat stuff that I never thought I would do when I joined the Army," she added.
Potter also talked briefly about the brigade combat team structure, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Iraq and answered questions about the role of the National Guard and the Reserve and how they were utilized.
Maj. Brian Sullivan followed with his "boots on the ground" overview about serving two tours in Afghanistan, explaining to the students that roughly 90 percent of the world's heroin comes from Afghanistan and that was a major problem coupled with enemies ranging from Al Qaeda, the Taliban and general corruption.
"We can't just destroy the Taliban and Al Qaeda and expect that's going to fix the problem, because at the end of the day the problem in Afghanistan is making sure that you have effective government that can secure the people," he said.
Before capping off their day with a tour of the Pentagon, the students were brief by Col. Greg Martin, chief of the director's initiatives group, G-8 who spoke about the responsibilities of the joint staff and a career in international relations, and Brig. Gen. Jeffrey Phillips, deputy chief of Army Public Affairs, who spoke on defeating global terrorism through the fight for the information highway.
Alexa Schaeffer, a 16-year-old junior, said she gained a new insight into Soldiering: "I think this day was very interesting because I always read the newspaper in our international relations class, and we always read the media's opinions, so it was very interesting to hear straight from Army people their experiences, what's actually going on in Iraq and Afghanistan."
"I was getting a lot of interesting perspectives on the wars and the military in general," said Karla Caraballo-Torres, 18. "It was very interesting to hear how it is in the military and how Soldiers perceive the war and their opinion. I thought it was a pretty good overview and helped give me more of a perspective on what is going on."

This article is about the robot: SickSack that Aske Olsson and I created for DTU RoboCup 2007, which is an annual competition for autonomous mobile robots held by Automation at the Technical University of Denmark.
The robot consists of nine cars connected with eight Futaba servos controlled by a microcontroller. All wheels are passive, the locomotion comes entirely from lateral undulation, which is wave movements in the plane similar to a snake.

Rattle N Hum
14 E. 33rd Street
New York, NY
(212) 481-1586
Reviews & more info
It's enough that Rattle N Hum offers 40 brews on tap, 171 by the bottle, and has a cask brew available. So we love that if we want to find out which kegs are kicked or which brews are brand new, we can download their iPhone app and keep updated on all the happenings at this midtown tavern.
Mudville 9
126 Chambers Street
New York, NY
(212) 964-9464
Reviews & more info
Mudville 9's spacious digs in lower Manhattan make it a prime spot for after work drinks and games. The saloon has 18 beers on tap and a selection of 116 bottles from around the world and for every taste. Even for beer lovers who don't get too snooty over fruity brews, Mudville 9 has a fine selection of sweet gems that pack a little extra punch.
The Ginger Man
11 East 36th St.
New York, NY
Reviews & more info
Boasting 70 taps and 160 bottles from around the globe, Ginger Man is hands down one of our favorite after-work spots. The bar is as massive as its beer list, with a wall of taps that's both overwhelming and exciting. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to help you find an ale or lager to fit the taste you seek.
Peculier Pub
145 Bleecker Street
New York, NY
(212) 353-1327There's only 17 brews on tap here, but who needs those when you've got more than 500 bottles to choose from? The bar itself is dingy and feels more like a fratty faux Irish tavern thanks to the NYU masses that pack into the joint on the weekends. Still, the bartenders and wait staff know their stuff, and are ready to widdle down your beer selection and find you the bottle you've longed to try.
Blind Tiger Ale House
281 Bleecker Street
New York, NY
(212) 462-4682
We truly believe the Blind Tiger Ale House is heaven for beer fanatics. This hip West Village favorite has more than two dozen unique brews on tap and 80 bottles in the fridge, not to mention a trio of cask beers to try. The bartenders make for excellent matchmakers when it comes to finding the flavor you're in the mood for, so don't be bashful if you're not sure where to start first.
Spuyten Duyvil
359 Metropolitan Avenue
Brooklyn, NY
(718) 963-4140Reviews & more info
Leave it up to Williamsburg to brew up a bar boasting a bevvy of Belgian beers you've probably never heard of and likely will have trouble pronouncing. Of course, that's what Spuyten Duyvil prides itself in, the "rare and obscure." That's what makes this dive a beer lover's dream come true. Many of these hard to find brews are going to cost you a pretty penny, but then again, when else are you going to be able to order up a round of Zum Uerige Dusseldorf Alts?
Dive Bar
732 Amsterdam Avenue
New York, NYGreat name aside, Dive Bar offers 29 beers on tap, nearly 100 different bottles, six hard-to-find cans, two casks, and one of our favorite menu items: the growler — a 64 oz. bottle full of draft beer to bring home. Bring that bad boy right back when its empty and fill up again with one of the 27 varities available for growler consumption.

Exhibition "Play along", homo ludens at the Gaîté Lyrique, Paris
From Thursday 21 June 2012 to Sunday 12 August 2012, the Gaîté Lyrique transforms itself into a big playground. Experiment a new way to interact with the building, with video games, arcades, giant games, and workshops.
In these dark times of crisis, of protectionist and communities fall-back, the "Play along" exhibition acts like a mischievous, playful parenthesis. As in a purpose to promote and rebuild social interaction, the installations use the game as a universal language.
Jérôme Delormas, director of the Gaîté Lyrique, and curators Heather Kelley, Cindy Poremba and Lynn Hughes, have deliberately chosen to use the game as one way of the living together, a living culture.
The Building extends throughout the building's four stories. A series of embedded physical-action games enables the building to draw a profile of each user.

The Elder Justice Act was signed into law in March as part of the health-care reform legislation. For the first time, hundreds of millions of federal dollars will be devoted to combating elder abuse, neglect and exploitation. Experts hope the law will help ensure that older Americans need no longer confront or fear abuse.
The Patient Safety and Abuse Prevention Act, also included in the health-care reform legislation, creates protections for those in long-term care facilities.
Consider these conditions: an aging population; a faltering economy; adult children struggling with joblessness, home foreclosures and the stresses of caring for parents, as well as their children; social service program cutbacks because of a lack of funds; and older, frail adults who are isolated and vulnerable. All of these combine to create the perfect climate for elder abuse — an underrecognized and rarely reported problem.
The National Center on Elder Abuse reports that Adult Protective Services organizations investigated 461,135 reports of elder and vulnerable adult abuse in 49 states in 2006 — a 16.3 percent increase from 2000. Nationwide, groups like Lutheran Social Services are on the front lines in battling such abuse.

Counter-Strike Gets its First Fully Automatic Pistol
Thanks to player feedback and a new update from Valve, the AUG should no longer be OP. But now Counter-Strike: Global Offensive players have a new weapon scrutinize.
The latest CS:GO update delivers a new loadout option: the CZ75-Auto. It's a pistol with identical stats as the existing P250, only the CZ75-Auto is fully-automatic and features a smaller ammo clip. It's also the first full-auto pistol ever in Counter-Strike, so it's sure to be of interest to die hard players. See it test fired in the video below:
"Accurate and deadly, the CZ75-Auto demands precise timing and trigger discipline," Valve says in a post on the CS:GO blog. "High risk, and high reward."
Along with the new weapon, the latest CS:GO patch (full notes) features a number of balance tweaks. Most notably, the AUG, which was tweaked just a week ago to boost accuracy and reduce recoil, has been nerfed. This will likely be good news for core CS:GO players, who likened the improved AUG to a Call of Duty weapon. Officially, the patch increases the AUG's recoil, reduces its rate of fire, and reduces the speed of players running with a scoped AUG.

I prefer the original. I believe there are 3 different colour patterns in the original issue, right?
That is the second version of the album art... which looks like this:Quote
What about the famous "under construction" cover! The insert just had Lucille Ball and a few others blacked out.

A day of rest.

I hate rest days. I feel lazy and like I'm not doing anything. And this little fact, ladies and gentleman is why I always fail.
I push myself 100 miles an hour and then I give up and fail because I don't want to admit that resting once in a while is what my body needs.
So today when I woke up, fully aware I should rest, I was grateful that my body over powered my mind. My muscles ached and my tendinitis was acting up horribly. I knew that today was a day to rest.
So tomorrow I am going to get up, freshly rested and ready to get back on the horse. I am not going to let a day of much needed rest slow me down. I am going to push through the pain but make sure I rest when it's needed. I know the difference between useful pain and "something not right" pain and I need to remind myself of which is which every day. The useful pain is what your body needs to burn fat and build muscle and the pain will eventually fade but that somethings not right kind of pain needs to be assessed and handled.
So since today is a rest day here is what I am going to do. A small amount of upper body toning, stretches for my Achilles tendons, a hot soak for my Achilles tendons and paint my nails.
Most often, I get so caught up in training that I forget that pampering myself is just as important as working out. I need to reward myself for the hard work I've put in. So today I am going to pull out the new nail polish my husband got me and paint my toe nails and enjoy the day that God has blessed me with.
Also, on an entirely different note, It's in the 70's here and I am in heaven with the door open and music blaring.
Question of the day: Whats the weather like where you are and how does it affect your mood and desire to keep within your goals?

Housing markets: Baltimore vs. Washington (and BWI)
Sales in the summer were up about 7 percent from a year earlier in the D.C. region, and there were 5.4 months of inventory -- "below the normal, healthy standard of 6 months, signaling that demand is beginning to outpace supply," the report notes. ("Months of inventory" refers to the time it would take homes listed for sale to find buyers at the current pace of transactions.)
In the Baltimore metro area, sales in the summer rose a bit faster -- about 8 percent from a year earlier. But there's more catch-up to do: 8.8 months of inventory.
Homes are sitting longer on the market here as well: 117 days in the Baltimore area compared with 81 in the Washington area.
The market decline hit our southern neighbor first, and it started to recover first, too. D.C.'s job market is one of the strongest in the nation, which doesn't hurt.
The Delta and MRIS report also shone a spotlight on neighborhoods around BWI, a market between Baltimore and Washington. It offered some illuminating statistics about what exactly is selling.
Speaking of prices, they're down 8 percent from a year ago in the BWI area. But the inventory is quite low -- 2.1 months. Remember, six months is considered normal and healthy. All else being equal, you'd think a 2.1-month inventory would mean a strong seller's market -- this is the sort of number we saw in the go-go housing bubble days. But all else isn't equal.
The Delta/MRIS report says that although the BWI area "seems well-positioned for future housing market growth and recovery, ... until foreclosures and short sales abate further, near-term price declines are not improbable."
How are foreclosures and short sales affecting housing trends near you?
