Accessibility Audits and Disability Management
Our accessibility audit can help you identify barriers and hazards to access for people with disabilities and provide pragmatic, cost-effective recommendations for change including:
- altering, avoiding or removing a physical feature
- providing the service by an alternative means.
The UK Equality Act aims to prevent discrimination against disabled people. Where a service provider offers services to the public, it has a legal duty to take reasonable steps to make these services available to disabled people, including the physical features of their premises.
- Helps ensure compliance with the Equality Act
- Quick and low cost - expert assessment can take as little as one day
- Our illustrated audit reports provide compelling evidence of the accessibility issues identified
- Major issues in new buildings can be identified early in design before modifications become expensive
- Disabled people who cannot access your service represent a lost business opportunity and possible adverse publicity, ensure you keep, or win their business
- Easy access benefits others too - people with prams, small children or shopping trolleys
- Easy access shows you care - it improves your image to both able and disabled people.
Our approach
- Structured accessibility checklists based on Equality Act, Building Regulations, industry best practice and British Standards
- Experienced assessors - familiar with a range of disabilities and access problems and in identifying the most practical and cost effective ways of meeting both your legal obligations and your business needs
- Clear and straightforward results presented in an easy to use format
- Practical recommendations - we will continue to work with you to implement our recommendations if you wish.
Typical projects
- A disability access audit of the Fire Service Training College
- Reviewing six London buildings belonging to the Department for Transport against Part M of the Building Regulations for access and facilities for people with disabilities
- Providing disability management services to the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS)
- Accessibility audits of Driving Standard Agency Test centres for use by customers and staff with disabilities
- Advising Barclays Bank on disability access.

Prevention of LPAI is based on prevention of exposure to influenza viruses by direct or indirect contact with waterfowl and shorebirds, live bird markets and swine farms through the use of sanitation, isolation and traffic control. History has proven that prevention of HPAI is based on successful prevention and control of H5 or H7 LPAI.
Current USDA quarantine measures reduce the possibility of introducing highly pathogenic influenza through importation of poultry or exotic birds. Smuggling is one way virus could enter this country.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Democratic-controlled Senate is on a path toward defeating tea party attempts to dismantle President Barack Obama's health care law, despite an overnight talkathon on the chamber's floor led by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
The freshman Cruz and other conservative Republicans were trying to delay a must-pass spending bill, but were virtually sure to lose a test vote on that legislation planned for later Wednesday.
Since Tuesday afternoon, Cruz — with occasional remarks by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and other GOP conservatives — have controlled the Senate floor and railed against Obamacare. After 6 a.m. EDT Wednesday, Cruz and his allies had spoken for more than 15-and-a-half hours, the sixth longest since precise record-keeping began in 1900.
That surpassed March's 12-hour, 52-minute speech by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., like Cruz a tea party lawmaker and potential 2016 presidential contender, and filibusters by such Senate icons as Huey Long of Louisiana and Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Republican leaders and several rank-and-file GOP lawmakers had opposed Cruz's time-consuming effort with the end of the fiscal year looming. They fear that Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans won't have enough time to respond to the Senate's eventual action.
The House-passed measure is required to prevent a government shutdown after midnight Monday and contains a tea party-backed provision to "defund" implementation of what's come to be known as "Obamacare". Cruz is opposed to moving ahead on it under debate terms choreographed by Democrats to defeat the Obamacare provision.
The mechanics of advancing the bill were overshadowed by Cruz's filibuster, which included a reading of Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham" to his daughters back home in Texas.
"When Americans tried it, they discovered they did not like green eggs and ham and they did not like Obamacare either," Cruz said. "They did not like Obamacare in a box, with a fox, in a house or with a mouse. It is not working."
Cruz's effort doesn't have a chance to succeed, however, both because Senate rules are working against him and because many of his GOP colleagues think his quixotic effort combines poor strategy with political grandstanding at the expense of other Republicans. Some of Cruz's leading allies include organizations like the Senate Conservatives Fund and the Club for Growth that frequently give financial help to conservatives challenging more moderate Republicans in primaries.
At issue is a temporary spending bill required to keep the government fully open after the Oct. 1 start of the new budget year. Hard-charging conservatives like Cruz see the measure as an opportunity to use a must-pass measure to try to derail Obama's signature health care law.
Under pressure from Cruz and tea party activists, House GOP leaders added the anti-Obamacare language to the funding measure despite fears it could spark a partial government shutdown that could hurt Republicans in the run-up to midterm elections next year — just as GOP-driven government shutdowns in 1995-96 help revive the political fortunes of President Bill Clinton.

Cavitus' Ultrasound Prototype in Winery Trials, Pt 2
Ξ October 29th, 2008 | → 2 Comments | ∇ A Day at a Time, Interviews, Technology, Wine News |
In part 2 Andrew Yap, Director of Oenology and Industry Marketing at Cavitus, passes through a modest series of more technical and commercial matters. Especially interesting is Mr. Yap's discussion of the potential use of ultrasonics to purge TCA from corks and to increase the extraction of color and flavor from certain grape varieties grown in challenging warm-climates.
Part 3 will focus on the nuts and bolts of the HPU unit itself. Mr. Yap will walk us through each step of the sonication process.
Admin Could you say a few words about Darren Bates?
Andrew Yap Sometime after 2002 I came upon Darren Bates who is our Director of Technology and CTO [Chief Technical Officer]. He is the world-wide expert on ultrasonics. In fact, if your winemaker friend wants to know more about ultrasonics he should contact him, as may any winemaker. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of ultrasonics, whereas I am an oenologist applying the technology to barrel cleaning, to color and flavor extraction, defoaming, fermentation management, and a range of applications in the wine industry.
Your experimental trials used 225L barrels. Can you tell us something of the water use required, and is this technology scalable, can it be used to clean larger barrels?
AY It is scalable. The Beta Prototype that we have designed is contained within an eight foot by ten foot container for a very good reason: we have to move it from winery to winery and from country to country. So, all the components of the system are within this [container]. Now, if you already have got a system in place and you don't really want this container, you want some of the components because you already have your hot water system, you've got your filtration system, you can utilize all these and retrofit the ultrasonic equipment into your system. And this is what many of the big wineries plan to do.
But if you don't have a cleaning system, or have one of those mobile, hand-held high pressure hot water cleaning systems, then our system might be the one you want to employ. The other advantage of this system is that you can drag it around from winery to winery and provide a mobile service to small wineries.
Do you plan a rental service?
AY We're looking to appoint service providers here. We haven't come to any arrangements yet. The service provider may not be the distributor but some organization which is already doing this sort of mobile service, like bottling, dealcing, whoever they are. We plan to have such services in the different states. In fact, during the Unified Symposium in February this year there were people from Washington state, from New York state and other places interested in using this facility but yet too small to justify buying big equipment like this. So, one way to use this application is to get a mobile provider to come around to your winery on a Sunday and clean x number of barrels for a fee, just like what is now being charged for cleaning services provided by other people.
Now, coming back to the barrels, the barrel size for this unit is for 225L and 228L, those are barriques in the Burgundy style and Bordeaux style. One is longer and slightly larger than the other. So this unit will accommodate those two. Once you take away these outer parts [pointing to the front face of the unit] then you can use it for any barrel size up to hogsheads and puncheons.
Is the toasting level of the barrel an issue when you apply high power ultrasonics?
AY No, no, that shouldn't affect it. Now, if your barrel is very heavily tartrated, of course you'll remove the tartrates and expose the sub-surface layers to the ultrasound, the ultrasound to the brett to remove any residues in the pores and from the grain.
Has there been any analysis of the effect of HPU on the oak flavor?
AY We exacted the wash water after sonication and we couldn't detect that any oak flavor compounds had been removed. That is a very positive thing. Now, having said that, we presently have a trial at a winery in the Barrosa Valley where they've cleaned barrels of different ages with high powered sound and at the same time cleaned them with high pressure hot water. As a base line we used clean and new barrels, so we have a big range. Then we put wine into these barrels and we're looking at the extraction of the oak flavor compounds over twelve months. So, it's very early yet, we started in August, I think, so only about three months worth of data. Whereas with the new barrels we could see a very rapid extraction of oak flavor compounds, with the barrels cleaned by high pressure hot water and high powered sound, there is extraction though not at the rate of a new barrel, of course. But what we are mainly interested in is whether with HPU, the sonicated barrels, we get more oak flavor extraction, faster extraction.
Now, if it's faster extraction then instead of putting your wine in a barrel for 8 months or 12 months, as winemakers do, within 6 months you might be able to get the flavor compounds that you need for the wine. Now you've saved time. You can get your wines earlier to the market if you like. Even with two, three, or four year barrels you put your wines in you've got the style that you want earlier, so that's a savings to the winery.
Of course, it's important to point out that apart from brett/dekkera, HPU is effective on all spoilage bacteria and yeasts, at least according to your research.
AY Yes, that's right. I should mention that all out trials have been on yeasts, although we've looked at the wine yeasts, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and one other yeast, so HPU has been effective against these three yeasts. But now the University of Adelaide people are looking at the efficacy of ultrasonics on all the other types of spoilage and wild yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, all the spoilage ones you find in barrels.
Have you taken an interest in TCA?
AY We came up with this idea when we first started. We told ourselves, "How can we make lots of money very quickly!" (laughs) TCA contamination is a huge problem with corks, now maybe we can suck all the TCA compounds out of the cork and then release the sonicated corks to the market. That's still at the back of our mind. We haven't gone down that track yet. But it's a possibility.
The way in which ultrasound works, wherever there are pores, like you would find in corks, if you can get the water in there and with the acoustic streaming, the mass transfer, it's possible that whatever is in the pores will be sucked out as well. That's the theory, right? But you need to prove it. I mean, we've proved it in barrels, HPU does go through the pores, up to 14mm, which is way beyond what wine travels. If you can do that anything that's in there gets sucked out, anything embedded in it, the barrel, will get killed.
Now, about water usage, hot water cleaning treatments require a constant stream of hot water. Does your system simply require that the barrel be filled? And is that water then recycled?
AY Firstly, in terms of water, what is required is reverse osmosis water, it's easy to produce; most wineries have an RO system. In fact, when we take this around we actually take a RO system with us. Because water quality differs so much from region to region, winery to winery, and water quality affects the effectivity of ultrasound, so, if you use RO water that is degassed we can easily clean a one year-old barrel, that has just been used once, within five minutes. It will be back to its normal surface.
If you use water that hasn't been degassed and has high solids, it may take six or seven minutes. That's a difference.
[A more complete answer to this question will be given in part 3.]
You earlier mentioned using this technology also for the extraction of color and flavor.
AY Let me first say that the wine industry side is a small side for our company. Our big business is in food processing. We have arrangements with a dozen of the big food companies, Fortune 500 companies, using ultrasound for a range of processes. So the wine side is pretty small when you compare it to the food industry. For example, in the food industry we can treat food products at 100,000 gallons per minute. We have been doing trial here in California looking at extracting more color from the must at around 50 gallons per minute. Now, some wineries, most wineries, run their pumps at 100,000 to 200,000 gallons per minute. That's already been done in the food industry. We'd have to up-scale if we want to use this process in the wine industry.
But what you apply in the food industry for a particular product, whether to change the viscosity, to pasteurize it, does not necessarily apply to the wine industry for affecting color and flavor. In extracting color and flavor we're trying to break down the cell walls and release the flavor and color compounds. We've been very successful at it. That's our new big thing!
As you probably know alot of wineries in the Central Valley and in the warmer regions have difficulty getting sufficiently color and flavor from certain grape varieties or even from the good grape varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. But also, say, in the North Coast, take Cabernet, for example, if you can extract color and flavor by skipping the cold maceration step, which takes two or three days, alot of energy cooling it down and then heating the must up later on, applying enzymes and all these sorts of things, you can skip all those processes by simply passing the must through a flow cell that sonicates the must to give you the color and flavor you want. You'd be saving mega bucks. Tank space, as well.
End of Pt. 2
2 Responses to ' Cavitus' Ultrasound Prototype in Winery Trials, Pt 2 '
Curious, does the ultrasound system have the potential to replace RO systems for VA treatment?
Keith, I received this reply from Andrew Yap: "The mechanisms of HPU and RO is completely different. HPU will not remove VA from wine. In trails carried out in wineries in CA with VA tainted barrels, HPU was able to remove some of the VA smell but not all. However, HPU has been shown to be very effective in removing 4-EP and 4-EG aromas from infected barrels."

Headlines from Today's Activities
Making the Move from Condition Monitoring to Management
Condition management is a core component of the company's larger asset performance management vision for helping companies to maximize return on their manufacturing assets, Cooper explained. To deliver business benefits, he said, we have to move maintenance from being reactive and preventive to being fully predictive. "Until we do, we can't affect the businesswe're just chasing our tails."
The key incentives for implementing condition management include reducing unscheduled downtime, protecting equipment, improving safety and reducing unnecessary preventive maintenance. "Thirty to 50% of preventive maintenance is unnecessary and can represent 10-20% of total maintenance costs," Cooper said. "This is a hard return-on-investment for moving from preventive to condition-based strategies."
"It's typically not a question of data, but of what you do with it." Invensys' Neil Cooper offered suggestions for justifying the implementation of condition management strategies.

Closing the Loop on Real-time Enterprise Control
"InFusion was certified for NetWeaver on the day we introduced it," Martin said. What he and Fitzgerald have been doing creating PCAs for SAP. A PCA is a "packaged composite application," and is designed to move data in and out of SAP's main modules.
Martin went through his discussion of the gaps between plant resource management, production management, and enterprise management on the operations side, and the huge gap between the plant floor and the financial reporting side of the business.
"I'm the CFO," Martin quoted an attendee at one of his focus groups as saying, "and I don't measure the business, I do financial reporting."
His boss retorted, "I'm the CEO, and I say you measure the business, so you better get at it."
"With these two loops, you can now apply control theory to the entire business enterprise." Invensys' Peter Martin on the company's co-innovation with SAP of Real Time Finance and Real Time Production Execution applications.

The Hidden Costs of Successful Safety
In his "SIL 201" presentation on July 17 at the 2007 North American Foxboro User Group conference in Boston, Luis Duran, described many of the hidden costs and side effects associated with safety instrumented systems (SISs), especially those embedded with distributed control systems (DCSs). Duran is product marketing manager for Triconex.
Duran covered some of the safety-related questions that he says users need to ask their DCS vendors, even though many suppliers don't want to answer them. "When vendors hear these questions, many of them start to dance around a lot," he said.
"Beware skipping over the fine print and use restrictions, or you could be in for some nasty and costly surprises come implementation, start-up and commissioning time." Invensys' Luis Duran warned users to carefully evaluate a safety instrumented system's TUV report before signing on the dotted line.
Gas Plant Goes Wireless Three Ways
So, while some process control users may slowly test wireless for limited monitoring in non-critical corners of their plants, a few brave engineers are blanketing their facilities with multiple wireless protocols, and finding more than more places and applications to use wireless and gain its advantages.
"We joke that we've basically turned our site into a giant WiFi hotspot," said Dave Runkel, production manager at Lost Pines Power Park, which includes a 42-year-old natural gas plant, and is part of the Lower Colorado River Authority. The park began operating as one of the first co-generation power plants in 2001, and is now a 545-megawatt facility that's reportedly 30-40% more efficient than traditional gas-fired plants. "Each day, we're finding new ways to incorporate wireless into our infrastructure."
Lost Pines began its journey to wireless when it recently merged with the three-unit, 620-megawatt Sim Gideon power plant next door, downsized many redundant staffing functions, and began seeking a way to resolve Sim Gideon's public address system with Lost Pines' radio-based communications. Runkel says it was at their annual strategic alliance meeting that Invensys representatives proposed implementing a wireless umbrella at the plant.
"We joke that we've basically turned our site into a giant WiFi hotspot." Dave Runkel, production manager at Lost Pines Power Park, on the power producer's deployment of a "future-proofed" multi-protocol wireless environment.
Solving the Security vs. Access Dilemma
And, while they're not sprinting in Spain's running of the bulls this summer, process control managers and their IT-based counterparts have the equally difficult task of securing their networks from intrusions and malicious software, but still making them as open as possible to enterprise level, remote data gathering, and other purposes. Ouch indeed.
James Basset, of CapGemini Energy, says this two-headed problem is caused by the fact that today's control systems are externally connected to business networks via second Ethernet or other administrative networks. In addition, most of these connections grow out of user convenience, and so most of them aren't historically monitored or audited.
CapGemini Energy's James Bassett explained lessons learned during TXU's ongoing push to standardize and secure the control systems across 22 of its power generation plants.

Farscape REMINDER AND UPDATE -- 2 January 2011
full name / name of organization:
Dr. Sherry Ginn
contact email:
A scholarly treatment of the award-winning science fiction series Farscape is currently under consideration for publication. This book, tentatively entitled, "'Scaping the Territories: Critical Explorations of Farscape" will be a collection of essays with the general objective of increasing the critical academic exploration of this series. The first editor of this collection has published an essay on the women of Farscape in her book Our Space, Our Place: Women in the Worlds of Science Fiction Television (UPA, 2005). A book examining Farscape was published previously (Battis, IB Taurus, 2007) and addressed divergent social issues such as masculinity and femininity, sexuality, racism and imperialism. The proposed book aims to expand discussion of these issues and the series by examining the myriad ways in which scholars and fans envision themes explored during the airing of the original series, and its extension into print media, including graphic novels. ***Note the deadline extension.***

CVGI is a company that is flying largely under the radar. It has exposure to a very interesting blend of industries (trucking, construction, agriculture machinery), all of which I see exhibiting rapid growth this year and next.
With nearly no analysts following this company, I believe its growth prospects have thus far gone unnoticed, and it is only a matter of time before people start to see the potential of this company.
The company has bought up it's supliers and cut outside cost. They control inventory and have long term management with long term goals. Should be bought in the 21 dollar range and held for a double in 12 to 16 months.

Focus on laser eye surgeryThu, 17 Jan 2013 12:10 PM
Sick and tired of wearing those pesky glasses all the time? Dr Rob Daniel, an ophthalmologist at Mediclinic Morningside, answers your questions on laser eye surgery.
I'm about to have laser eye surgery. Should I be nervous?
No. The procedure has come a long way since it was first introduced 25 years ago. These days, laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (Lasik) means virtually no discomfort, a shorter recovery time and better than 20/20 vision.
What are the risks involved with Lasik?
After three million surgeries have been performed in the US alone, the complication rate is close to zero. In fact, research has shown that wearing contact lenses for two years or more is more risky than having Lasik.
Is there anything I should avoid or do to prepare before the procedure?
If you wear contact lenses, you'll be asked not to wear them for two weeks before surgery. Contact lenses change the shape of the cornea slightly, which could skew measurements.
What actually happens during laser eye surgery?
A wave-scan machine is used to map your cornea (or both of them, if you're having both eyes done). In a painless five-minute process, the machine creates a three-dimensional map of how light enters and leaves the eye.
- A computer then captures an image of your iris.
- Once you're lying down on a bed in the laser room, which is temperature- and humidity-controlled so as not to affect the beam's movement through the air, a speculum is used to keep the eye open and your eyelashes are taped back.
- Anaesthetic drops are put into your eyes. These are highly effective and you won't feel any pain. (This may be done while you're still in the waiting area.)
- The femtosecond laser machine creates a microscopic flap on your cornea. This takes about seven seconds per eye. You will feel a small amount of pressure as a suction cup keeps your cornea in position.
- The total laser work usually takes less than a minute per eye.
- The surgeon then irrigates your eye, using fluid to float the corneal flap back into place.
Will I see or smell anything freaky?
It's over very quickly and there's not much to see. If you're easily stressed you can request a sedative beforehand. And all you will smell is ozone, which is a gas produced when the laser comes into contact with your eye.
How quickly would I be able to notice a difference in my sight?
Within two hours of the procedure, 70% of patients have 20/20 vision. Generally you should be able to drive yourself to your check-up the next day, and go back at work three days later. But you'll probably be advised not to swim, shower or go to the gym during the first three days after the surgery.
Will I need to wear an eye patch after surgery?
Most surgeons will tape on a clear eye patch or give you ski goggles to help protect the corneal flap while it's healing, in case you try to rub your eyes unintentionally while you sleep. Eye drops may be recommended to ease initial scratchiness and help lubricate the eye during the first few weeks.

Privacy Isn't a Right
It's a commodity. Here's how to profit from it.
This essay was adapted from Reputation Economics, by Josh Klein, published by Palgrave Macmillan.
Privacy isn't your right anymore. We sold it for pictures of cats and the ability to tell anyone in the free world what we had for breakfast.
I'm not saying it was a bad trade, either. The Internet as we know it came about through the monetization of metadata—information about us—instead of by replicating traditional models of content sales. As a result the Internet exploded into a plethora of useful services and platforms of every shape, size, and description. What's more, it was a great leveler—nobody had more valuable personal information than anybody else, so everyone was able to trade it in for the same kinds of services.
The problem with all this is that "privacy" as a notion was abdicated the instant you clicked "agree" to the online services agreement you didn't read. And yet most consumers haven't yet realized that their date has left the restaurant and they're stuck with the bill.
Part of the reason for that is that Big Data has finally begun to produce some very real, tractable, monetizable techniques. As an example, see a couple of patents Microsoft filed several years ago. Roughly described, the first one allows the company to put a number on any identity's ability to influence others around a particular word or topic. So for the word cheese, you might have a high score of 88 because you run a popular cheese blog, whereas I might be lactose intolerant and only have a score of 17. The second patent is more interesting: It allows Microsoft to dynamically price a good or service based on your score.
This means that if you go online to buy some cheese, Microsoft can ask Kraft if it wants to give you a big discount in the hopes that you'll say something nice about its cheese and thus drive up sales. Conversely, if I go to buy some cheese, it can ask Kraft if it wants to jack up the price to the point where I'm unlikely to buy it, to save the embarrassment of a potentially bad review. Is that wrong? Is it a violation of privacy? Materially, it no longer matters. We clicked "agree" and now they legally can—and by doing so make a whole lot more money.
This emphasis on our data and its uses as a marketing tool has grown so fast and so far that competitors to the traditional credit card companies are now starting to drive down their collective margins by consistently underbidding one another. Square (a company whose dongle plugs into your phone and lets you accept credit card payments), Simple (an online-only bank), and others are happy to charge less of a percentage of each transaction because they know they'll be able to make up the lost profit through resale of the metadata they've collected—the "who bought what from whom, where, and when." It's not by accident that they emphasize the use of mobile phones (which have built-in GPS) for facilitating their transactions and Web browsers (which connect to all your other online identities) for managing related funds.

Union-Tribune owner's war of escalating insults
Yet another spin-off rumored if Gannett prevails

Confrontation in Borrego Springs leads to mobile-home blaze
A Borrego Springs man was hospitalized with severe burns Wednesday night, January 28, following an altercation with a neighbor that ended with the subject setting his mobile home ablaze. According to a report from sergeant ...
San Diego may have to adopt the Borrego strategy: fallow farms in order to permit development.

Take this hike for dramatic views of the Anza-Borrego Desert and a different view of Borrego Valley.
We were blown away this Easter while camping with our off-road vehicles out near Borrego Springs in Ocotilla Wells – the wind gusts were so volatile that Easy-Ups were snapping (including ours and our camping neighbors) and campers were taking cover inside their trailers from getting pelleted with dirt and traveling debris. We like to camp at Holmes Camp, and when we first arrived Saturday about noon, the weather was hot and perfect. But by late afternoon the wind started and never stopped until we packed up on Easter Sunday and headed home a day early. It was nearly impossible to BBQ, have a campfire or egg hunt, and the clouds of dust that swirled on the trails made even riding difficult. We weren't the only ones to leave, as many riders and campers loaded up and deserted the desert. I later learned that a wind advisory for March 31 in Borrego Springs, Campo and Julian was warning to expect high winds and gusts to 45 MPH. Did anyone else lose anything to the wind?
Borrego Springs is my favorite place to be! Anza-Borrego Desert State Park is the most beautiful place I've ever been to, and has so many places to see and explore!

Sweet Nothings
The Fray speaks out on Hershey.
Monday, Sept. 16, 2002
Morons and oxys: The Assessment Fray pivoted around a single phrase in Chris Suellentrop's piece on Tony Blair: "American liberal elites and intellectuals." Several Fraysters took issue (see my picks), but the best discussion began when Herb 323 contended that there are intellectuals who "DO NOT view Bush as a cowboy." He quickly ran into Keith M. Ellis, who pegged him as "sadly typical of the reflexive find-something-to-be-offended-with mentality so typical on the Fray."
Sullentrop's characterizations of American intellectuals as being leftist is beyond dispute. Not just in the sense that it's true, but also in the sense that no one disputes it….
Conservatives tend to rant incessantly about the leftist bias in academia and the arts. Conservative Americans tend more toward the traditional American distrust of intellectualism which sees calling someone an "intellectual" as more of an insult than a compliment. You can't have it both ways…
And yet despite this opening salvo, both moderated their positions later in the thread …
Elocution envy: While Shari Ward was among many to suggest "Blair in '04," dikstr took a more corporate approach, wondering if the U.S. could "merge" with Great Britain.
A:B::C:D: The analogies section of the SAT may be history, but Zathras fights on. Find out why he thinks "Blair is to Bush, in short, as Thatcher was to Reagan and MacMillan to Kennedy," here.
Subj: Unsubscribe: The normally mellow Cagle Fray (which discusses editorial cartoons) erupted (well, not a Ballot-Box-style eruption, but still) when Cagle reposted some cartoons from 9/11/01. Ritual unsubscribes littered the board.
TV Club Whacked! Now that the panel of psychologists is back for the new Sopranos season, and the TV Club is on MSN.com, the Fray may get clogged. In such situations, look for the posts from the first couple hours to find the best discussions. Late tonight, start looking for my picks … 2:15 p.m.
Friday, Sept. 13, 2002
Ballot Box has been especially busy keeping up with Bush's major policy statements: the NYT op-ed, the speech on Ellis Island, and the address to the U.N. Put all that into the Ballot Box Fray, where it runs into the boisterous background of party-bashing, political news flashes and polls (Q: Will there be a vote in the Senate on war with Iraq?), and it can be hard Fraying. As usual, a time-constrained reader can simply View Fray Editor's Picks (there are a passel) or go to any of the selections below. ...

by Jim Tankersley
BRISTOL, Va. -- To rousing applause, Barack Obama formally announced this afternoon that the Democratic National Committee will follow his lead and begin refusing donations from registered lobbyists and special-interest political action committees.
"They do not fund my campaign," the presumptive Democratic nominee told a small-town southwest Virginia crowd, after delivering a standard refrain that blames drug and insurance interests for blocking universal health care. "They will not fund our party. And they will not drown out the voices of the American people when I'm President of the United States."
Well, at least not on the presidential level.
The Obama campaign confirms that two other arms of the national party - the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee - will continue to accept lobby and PAC money this election. That's the same position as presumptive Republican nominee John McCain and every affiliate of the Republican National Committee, who all accept lobby and PAC dollars.
The DCCC and DSCC help support Democratic House and Senate candidates in targeted seats. Unlike the DNC - which trails its Republican counterpart 2 to 1 - they're thumping the GOP's congressional candidates in fundraising. They've combined to raise nearly $170 million for this election cycle through May, versus about $120 million for Republicans.
That money will go for ads, field workers and other campaign resources to boost congressional candidates; because of disclosure rules, the candidates can see exactly who their committee's biggest backers are.
During a question-and-answer session here in Bristol, Obama warned that lobbyists could have an undue influence on members of Congress - again in the context of blocking health care reform. The voice of the people, he told the crowd, could counter it.
Democratic leaders seem content to apply different standards to their presidential and congressional campaigns.
A DCCC spokesman said the committee will not ban lobbyist and special-interest PAC donations. "Campaign contributions to committees are transparent," said the spokesman, Doug Thornell. "House Democrats passed a historic ethics bill and Chairman (Chris) Van Hollen (D-Md.) fought for full disclosure of bundled contributions."
Update, 2:30 p.m.: The National Republican Congressional Committee accepts PAC and lobbyist money, but it still accuses its Democratic counterparts of hypocracy: "Being that they are housed in the very same building as the Democratic National Committee," NRCC spokesman Ken Spain said, "it would be nothing short of hypocritical if congressional Democrats and their candidates were at odds with Barack Obama and Howard Dean."
Update, 3:10 p.m.: From DSCC spokesman Matthew Miller: "All of our contributions are transparent and publicly disclosed. Senate Democrats passed strong ethics legislation to clean up the influence of lobbyists in Washington."
Update, 6 p.m.: Asked on his campaign plane if he would prefer Democratic congressional candidates follow his lead, Obama said this afternoon: "I don't have control, obviously, over members of congress, or cannot exert the control over Congress that I can over the DNC at this point. I think it is important for us to send a message that the Democratic Party is serious about reducing the influence of special interests on the legislative process."

Excerpts for
Out of Order : Stories from the History of the Supreme Court
Looming Large
Historic Intersections of the President
and the Supreme Court
The role of the judicial branch in our system of government differs markedly from that of the executive branch. Each shoulders substantial powers and obligations under the Constitution. Whereas the Executive enforces the law, however, the Supreme Court interprets the law and has no power to command obedience or appropriate funds to enforce its orders. Whereas the President is elected by the people and serves for limited terms, federal judges are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate and serve for life. Whereas the Executive reflects the political will of the majority, the judiciary is designed to check assertions of power by the political branches. It thus comes as little surprise that throughout history, the Executive and the Supreme Court have intersected, overlapped, and even clashed.
A story is told that William Howard Taft once found himself stranded at a small country railroad station. Informed that the express train would stop only for a large group of passengers, Taft wired the conductor: "Stop at Hicksville. Large party waiting to catch train." When the train stopped, Taft boarded, alone. He then turned to the confused conductor. "You can go on ahead," he declared. "I am the large party."
We laugh at that story because we remember that Mr. Taft, at his heaviest, tipped the scales at over three hundred pounds. But as the twenty-seventh President of the United States and the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, he also was the only person ever to have tipped the scales by holding both of those incredibly "large" offices--experiencing firsthand the responsibility of heading two of the most significant institutions in the free world. His time in these two roles put him on two different sides of the same constitutional coin.
Indeed, our remarkable Constitution recognizes the individual "largeness" of these governmental bodies while acknowledging that their relative strengths will at times coexist, at times collide, and nearly always manage to carry out the will of the majority while safeguarding the rights of the minority. A look at the dynamic between these two institutions speaks volumes about the genius of our Constitution.
To find an example of the judiciary and the presidency surviving the collision of two larger-than-life personalities, we need not travel very far into the early days of our republic. Second cousins John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson were anything but the kissing kind. Indeed, their relationship was privately nasty and publicly only slightly better. Their exchanges--well documented, but not well-mannered--planted the seeds for an all-out war over the proper role of the judiciary vis-à-vis the other branches of government, and set the trajectory of constitutional law as we know it today.
Jefferson almost was not our third president, coming to the post only after the House of Representatives broke an electoral tie vote in his race with Aaron Burr. Marshall almost was not our fourth Chief Justice, receiving the nomination from John Adams only after first choice John Jay declined reappointment. But once fate brought them to their respective positions of authority in 1801, Jefferson and Marshall came to blows in ways that put even today's climate of political acrimony to shame.
Early in his administration, Jefferson attempted to have Marshall impeached. He accused him of "irregular and censurable" behavior.1 In Marshall's hands, Jefferson lamented, "the law is nothing more than an ambiguous text, to be explained by his sophistry into any meaning which may subserve his personal malice."2 He spoke vehemently of his bitter disappointment in his own appointees to the Supreme Court, calling them "lazy" and weak for not standing up to the "crafty chief judge."3
Marshall, in turn, labeled Jefferson "totally unfit" for the presidency.4
Jefferson called the Chief Justice a man "of lax lounging manners?.?.?.?and a profound hypocrisy."5 Over time, these two actors played out a rather hateful drama, rooted in personal animus and fundamental disagreement as to the proper role of government and the appropriate balance between the judicial and executive branches.
History teaches us that it was Marshall's decision in Marbury v. Madison that permanently legitimated and strengthened the Supreme Court and that gave the Chief Justice his least obvious but perhaps greatest victory over the President. Many say that that case, which came to stand for the authority of the Court to review the acts of the political branches, might as well have been captioned Marshall v. Jefferson.
Here is what happened. In the watershed 1800 election, Marshall's Federalist Party lost control of the executive and the legislative branches to Jefferson's Republicans, and in an effort to retain some presence in government, the Federalists decided to pack the Court before they left office. President Adams appointed Marshall, then the secretary of state, as Chief Justice, and Congress passed a number of pieces of legislation to restructure the court system and provide the lame-duck Senate and outgoing President Adams with many new positions to fill. Adams filled them--or thought he did--through a series of midnight appointments.
But Jefferson fought back. When he took office as President, he refused to deliver the commissions of some of the Adams appointees. When William Marbury, an appointed judge who didn't get his commission, sought a court order compelling the administration to deliver his commission, the case made its way to the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Marshall, to the surprise of many, denied the order that would have forced his nemesis Jefferson to issue the judicial commissions. That might have seemed like a victory for the new President.
But the "victory" that Marshall handed to Jefferson came with a silver lining for the Court and for himself. Marshall and the Court denied the order to grant Marbury's commission on the grounds that the part of the Judiciary Act of 1789 that had given the Supreme Court the power to issue such orders was contrary to the Constitution.
Writing for a unanimous Court in 1803, Marshall declared "that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by [the Constitution]" and, more important, that it is "emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department" to say what the Constitution means.6
In one fell swoop, Marshall gave up a small power that Congress had conferred upon the Court and took in exchange an even larger, overarching power--to examine and decide the ultimate constitutionality of all acts of Congress that one challenged in Court. Despite the vehement disagreement of his cousin Thomas Jefferson, this bold assertion by John Marshall about the power of the Court has survived as the final and official answer to this day. Today, portraits of Marbury and Madison hang in the Justices' private dining room in the Supreme Court--an ongoing reminder of how the Court established its role as a coequal branch.
The lessons to be learned from the story of Jefferson and Marshall are many. It is the story of a government that develops and evolves, that grows and changes, over time. It is the story of large institutions competing and accommodating and evolving in ways that may both amaze and alarm us. Perhaps even more significant, it is a story that begins a distinctively human thread that is woven throughout all of the Court's history: The judiciary and the presidency are inhabited by real people, with real emotions, real foibles, and a very real--if sometimes conflicting--commitment to doing what is right.
A second historic moment of interaction between the presidency and the judiciary stars President Abraham Lincoln and Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney. It represents one of the only times a sitting president has deliberately defied a direct court order.
In the early days of the Civil War, the fragile American nation faced serious threats from within. The Southern states had broken away, and European powers were poised to intervene, to divide the young nation permanently into Union and Confederacy. The war posed another sort of danger--a danger less obvious, perhaps, than columns of soldiers marching through the countryside but far more insidious to a nation "conceived in Liberty." It was the danger that a government at war might use its extraordinary powers to stamp out political opposition. In April 1861, a trainload of Union soldiers passed through Baltimore en route to Washington, summoned to man the defensive fortifications around the capital. They were greeted by an angry mob of Southern sympathizers and had to fight their way across Baltimore to reach the station where their train to Washington was waiting. Later that night, local authorities who favored the South sabotaged the bridges and telegraph lines connecting Baltimore and Washington. Their story was that they feared the soldiers might return and seek revenge for the riot, but their actions endangered the Union by cutting off the two critical cities.
With Congress out of session, President Lincoln found himself alone in the capital with the rebel army closing in from the south and an apparent insurrection brewing to the north. Taking action as commander in chief, he directed local military leaders to secure the railroad line from Washington to Philadelphia, and allowed them to suspend "habeas corpus" in that pursuit. Sometimes called the "Great Writ," habeas corpus is the relief that a prisoner requests from a court when they are seeking release from unlawful detention. Thus, by suspending the writ, Lincoln was effectively permitting the Union army to arrest civilians without a warrant, without probable cause, without a speedy jury trial--indeed, without any process at all. Mr. John Merryman, a member of the Maryland legislature who had been recruiting rebel soldiers, was arrested by a Union general under this scheme, and hauled off to Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor.
In those days, Justices of the Supreme Court were still "riding circuit"--literally riding their horses in circles around the country to sit as federal judges on lower courts in addition to their service on the Supreme Court. Accordingly, Merryman's plea for relief from detention was directed at his local circuit judge, who happened to be Chief Justice Taney. Taney was no friend of Lincoln's administration. Upon receiving Merryman's plea, he ordered Merryman's jailer at Fort McHenry to bring Merryman to the court, a command that is the essence of habeas corpus relief. (Habeas corpus literally translates as something like "present the body.") The commander refused, sending Taney an aide instead with the message that the President had authorized the colonel to suspend the Great Writ.
Taney was livid. He wrote an incendiary decision, holding that it was for Congress, and only Congress, to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. The President's job was only to see that the laws be "faithfully executed."7 He could not change the nation's laws to suit his interests, even in times of war.
Lincoln gave Taney no response until Congress reconvened a month later, on July 4. At that point, he let loose his own barrage of heated rhetoric, some of which still echoes to this day. Lincoln noted that the Confederacy had renounced the Constitution under which Taney had purported to invalidate the President's actions and argued that, had he not acted when he did, Washington would have fallen into Southern hands and there would have been no Congress to respond to the rebellion. He famously asked: "Are all the laws, but one, to go unexecuted, and the government itself go to pieces, lest that one be violated?"8
In any event, Congress retroactively approved Lincoln's decision to suspend the writ and Merryman was never released. Scholars remain divided on the question whether Lincoln had the power to act as he did under the Constitution's "Suspension Clause," which says only that habeas corpus shall not be suspended "except when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it." Because it appears in the part of the Constitution that deals with Congress's powers, some say suspension is for Congress alone. On the other hand, because it appears to permit suspension "in cases of rebellion" and it is the President who never takes a recess and must always safeguard the nation as commander in chief, others say that Lincoln did only what the Constitution permits. This is not the place for me to offer my own views in that debate. Suffice it to say that Lincoln won the debate in his own day, especially because Congress itself eventually sided with him in March 1863. And to his immense credit, Lincoln did not use this express authorization from Congress to trample on the civil liberties that the writ of habeas corpus was meant to protect.
Recent historical studies have made clear that Lincoln never tried to suppress political dissent, and always understood that a democracy grows stronger by allowing the people to voice their opposition to government, even in the midst of war. He appreciated that the strength of the Union lay not only in force of arms but in the liberties that were guaranteed by the open, and sometimes heated, exchange of ideas. And he no doubt would have been pleased to know that, soon after his assassination and the conclusion of the war, his predictions that habeas corpus would quickly be reinstated came to pass. In his words, "what constitutes the bulwark of our own liberty and independence" is "not our frowning battlements, our bristling sea coasts, the guns of our war steamers, or the strength of our gallant and disciplined army," but rather "the love of liberty" and "the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as the heritage of men, in all lands, everywhere."9
In this way, what might otherwise be remembered as a clash between these two "large" historic figures can be seen as a moment of large respect for the rule of law by both the President and the Chief Justice. The constitutional debate sparked by Lincoln and Taney rages on even now. But we would do well to look beyond the conflict and to appreciate the character of the men behind the story. Their sincere, even if conflicting, examples of dedication to principle--and to the people of a struggling nation--loom large to this day.
A third, well-known account of the intersection between the large scopes of influence of the judiciary and the presidency is found in the story of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937. Roosevelt's bill, more commonly known as the "court-packing plan," would have increased the number of Supreme Court Justices from nine to fifteen. Indeed, the current head count of nine is engraved neither in stone nor in the Constitution, and could very well have turned out differently had Roosevelt had his way.
President Roosevelt cited the heavy workload and advancing age of many of the Supreme Court's then-sitting Justices to justify his proposed increase in ranks. However, historians have long focused on what is widely believed to be the real reason for his plan: According to accepted wisdom, Roosevelt was more than a little annoyed at the current Justices. The Court had been giving a thumbs-down to so much of his "New Deal" legislation--various economic programs targeted at redressing the aftermath of the Great Depression.

Wanting a baby after a Vasectomy!!
My husband had a vasectomy after our third child was born. That was about two years ago. We were in a different place back then.. Now he has a great job and I actually get to stay home with my kids. We have been chatting about having another baby.. I really want to do this. He actually does too. Has anyone tried PESA or gotten pregnant years after a vasectomy? I am also feeling very selfish I have three wonderful kids maybe I should be happy with that but I have been thinking about it a lot lately.. Will i regret not trying at least???

My husband had a vasectomy after our third daughter was born (6 years ago). I am 10 weeks pregnant and this is without going through a reversal. Even though we weren't planning this new addition we are very excited. I wish you luck.posted 08/15/2008 by lori4211
My husband just got a reversal last month, we drove to Oklahoma from Tennessee and got it done for only 1700 by Dr. David Wilson. I am truly repentant for ever having gotten it done in the first place. We were playing God by trying to control how many children we had. It is really a shame that women have been made to feel guilty for wanting more blessings!! It's what we were made to do!! I truly hope God will give us more blessings, we have decided not to use birth control ever again, but to leave it up to the LORD!!!!posted 05/05/2011 by SpazticMomma
My husband had a vasectomy after our 3rd child also.We had two boys and a girl and we knew we were done.six years later we had a vasectomy reversal. We went out of state because we could get it much cheaper.It has been almost a year and we are not pregnant but hopeful.posted 01/28/2008 by barbermama1
my husband had a vasectomy after our second child was born. we found a urologist in jackson tennessee that performs the reversal surgery for $2500-$2800 plus the cost of the anesthiesiologist ($800). He had to have some veins in his leg removed so we piggy backed this surgery with that one and ended up paying about $3500 for the reversal. He told us it may take 8months or longer to get pregnant. We were pregnant 2 months later.posted 06/11/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I am in a similar situation as well. We have 3 children (each of us have one from a previous marriage and we have a three year old together). We are in a better place in our life and he is having a vasectomy reversal next week. The same doctor that did the vasectomy is doing the reversal. Not as expensive as I thought, $3400. the doctor said he worked out a deal with the hospital years ago and they still honor the same proice. Wish us luck!posted 05/02/2008 by ttc11
I understand what you are going through I currently am in the same situation. My husband had a vascetomy after our second was born 4 yrs ago and there was no second thought for him. Now I really want to have another and he is okay with it to. I called a urologist about him getting a reversal done and found out it would cost about $30k (insurance will not cover any). I am even willing to go through IVF since my first child was but even for that the insurance company wants preapproval and since its really not an infertility problem i am affraid they are going to deny it. Do you have any other options I could look into? Or any advice would be nice. Thank you...posted 01/10/2008 by jenabutt
I am in the same way here. My second child is 11 yrs ago. Two months after he was born my husband got a vasectomy. It was one of the worst choises he has decided for our family. Being at the peek of my baby making years, I can't do anything. I love him way too much to cheat on him, but I am completely frustrated. He regrets getting it done, but says we don't have enough money to fix the problem. Does anyone know the cheapest place, in the United States, where we can get him put back on the baby making train?posted 04/24/2012 by shannonsalkeld
I guess if you are not concerned about the future of your currently living children on a planet that is being radically impacted by overpopulation (especially American children who have a much higher ecological footprint), then having more than 2 children is just peachy. But how about thinking of the rest of our children, like thank goodness your husbands did when they got their vasectomies. I can't imagine God would want humans to propagate in such a way that they destroy every other species on the planet including themselves. That's why he gave us brains that invented novel ways of stopping birth once our planet reached the tipping point.posted 03/21/2014 by spectravision

I received a consulting agreement which asked me to click a URL at the bottom of the email they sent me. it said it would take me to Terms & Conditions Questionnaire. Unfortunately, when I click on the URL, it directs me to a Log In Screen. I do not yet have any Log In information. anyone else have this problem? I cannot continue my recruitment without accepting this form, and I can't even get to that page. I sent an email to the email address that I received the forms from, and it's been 4 days with no response. I sent them a 2nd email asking for them to advise me on this problem. If anyone else has contact them with issues, what email address did you use. There is nothing in all the documents that gives me a contact email. I've read through them thoroughly.
thanks for any help. I'm anxious to get to the testing phase and hopefully pass so I can begin working.
