Music Matters
I remember when I was little, riding in the car with my parents, they listened to the music they used to hear when they were teenagers/young adults. Perry Como, Frank, Anita O'day, Ella and more. As I got older, they continued to listen to the same music while I graduated from Row Row Row Your Boat to Led Zeppelin. I remember wondering would I be …

Keep It Moving
One of my favorite sayings, and an axiom for most of my decision-making, comes from Gore Vidal: "Never turn down an opportunity to have sex or be on television." About a year and a half ago, I had one of the rare opportunities to put this heuristic to work. Days before the financial system melted down, I was going to get to play the …

The U.S. Senate narrowly approved a measure Thursday requiring the Army to wait a year before deciding whether to push ahead with a controversial expansion of its Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site in southeast Colorado.
Colorado Democrat Ken Salazar sponsored the measure, saying it would provide a "cooling-off period" in the heated debate over the issue.
Republican Senator Wayne Allard voted against it, calling it too restrictive.
The House has passed an identical measure.
Both versions are amendments to a military funding bill, which the Senate passed today.
It now goes to a conference committee to work out other differences.
President Bush is expected to sign the completed bill.

Isabela Onyshko had been to national and international gymnastics events before, but nothing compared to the Commonwealth Games.
The 16-year-old Brandonite competed at a pair of World Cup events earlier this season and medalled at both. The Commonwealth Games, which wrapped up on Aug. 3 in Glasgow, Scotland, were Onyshko's first multi-sport event, and it was bigger than what she thought. The crowds were bigger and were interested in a variety of sports as opposed to just gymnastics.

Our soap doesn't get any cheaper than this so stock up now!NOTE: The soaps shown here are representations only.

The quality of your soaps are impressive and I was wondering if your company would make a chocolate soap I'm just so sure your team would make one with the best ingredients and not one that's a "fragrant smelling chocolate" soap.

Re: Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization Tips FAQ Help Tricks Hints Cheats Strat
I only just discovered the game yesterday, and promptly bought it.
I've played 1 game so far, on easiest difficulty, and used the same strategy that allowed me to win the original game, but it didn't work in this version thats for sure.
However it became apparent that I was going to run out of time long before even having a revolution. Am I right to say original had 2 seasons (turns) per year later on? Does this mean one has less turns to win the game?
Next thing I noticed was that to hurry up people on docks got more and more expensive (even If never doing it) and was getting up to $15,000 (!!!) towards the end of my game! This meant it was stupid as it was FAR cheaper just to train the person I required.
Like the others here, I got drilled when I declared independence. I was outnumbered vastly, and all my ships (At least 2 of every sort) got sunk by 1 (yes one) enemy man-o-war. I was getting a good attrition rate, but I only lasted to wave 2 then my capital fell, and show was all over (out of turns with only 5 military units left anyway).
I'm so happy the game is pretty much like the original, but I'll have to try smiting the Indians for treasure strategy, or the no bells strategy, cos there is no way I can see I'll win (on easiest) any other way.

Favre, Twins Own Minnesota
Talk about epic.
You've got players on both sides saying this was the greatest game they've ever played in, and I wouldn't questions those feelings one bit.
Rallies, comebacks, home runs, guys getting thrown out at the plate…all ingredients to classic postseason baseball games, even if this one technically counts towards the regular season.
Take the '07 Mets off the hook…Detroit now holds the most recent colossal collapse in baseball, blowing a three game lead with four to play, a first in Major League history mind you.
Maybe Miguel Cabrera can drink to that?
Long live the Metrodome, too! Favre's magic Monday Night, and now this for the Twins, an AL Central crown despite trailing the Tigers by seven games with just 20 to play.
I'm not sure how far Minnesota's momentum carries then against the Yankees, but I'm jumping on this bandwagon.
After all, I've never been one to miss a good party!

TRAKH NAWA, Afghanistan – Since the removal of the Taliban as Afghanistan's governing body nine years ago, coalition forces have helped rebuild the nation's infrastructure, providing stability and peace to an otherwise turbulent region. Their humanitarian and peace-keeping efforts seek to bridge the divide between traditional and progressive values in an ever-changing world. For combat engineers, the aforementioned objective can be accomplished quite literally.
Approximately 40 Marines with Engineer Company, Combat Logistics Battalion 3, 1st Marine Logistics Group (Forward), rebuilt a bridge Oct. 27 after a local dispute concerning water privileges ended in the burning of the previous, wooden structure. Operating near Marjah in Afghanistan's Helmand province, the engineers accomplished a dual-purpose mission by increasing mobility for military units operating in the area and improving the roadways for the local Afghan community.
In order to create a more permanent structure, the Marines opted to use a large, metallic storage container for the bridge's foundation rather than wood. The container also acted as a culvert, allowing water to pass underneath without interference, which was vital to the project because the river system serves as the community's primary water source.
Given the Taliban's influence in the area, it's important to interact with local residents to increase awareness about coalition operations and reiterate to the community that U.S. forces are here to help rid them of the Taliban's oppression, said 1st Lt. Elizabeth Stroud, 25, engineer platoon commander, Engineer Company, CLB-3.
"A lot of [the Trakh Nawa residents'] conversations were interesting," Stroud said. "There is still an element of fear here, but the community interactions were still positive. They understand that we're here to help them – not to occupy this country."
Though their primary mission was to construct a bridge, the engineers did not take the enemy threat in the area lightly. After securing the area with help from Afghanistan National Army personnel and Marines from 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, and CLB-3 Marines maintained security around the area's perimeter for the duration of the bridge's construction.
For Lance Cpl. Derek Slaughter, 23, a combat engineer with Engineer Company, CLB-3, engineering missions in deployed environments are just as important as combat missions due to the physical, positive impact a project can have on an area.
"Personally, I enjoy the security element because it shows another aspect of [logistics occupations]," said Slaughter after providing on-site security during the mission. "Of course, I am a little nervous; a little anxious – but in the end I am confident we'll do what we're supposed to do in order to get the job done."
After completing the bridge, the CLB-3 engineers returned to their base of operations, Camp Dwyer, for a debrief before beginning preparations for their next mission. For the Marines of CLB-3's Engineer Company, the operational tempo is high and the job is demanding, but mission accomplishment and troop welfare remain top priorities.
"The [Trakh Nawa residents] were very appreciative of our efforts," Stroud said. "The bottom line is that the mission was accomplished and everyone came home safe."

Sensei John Wyndham, owner and chief instructor, has more than 25 years of experience in self-defense training and instruction in the martial arts. He currently holds the rank of San-Dan (Third Degree Black Belt) in the art of Nihon Goshin Aikido (Japanese Self-Defense Aikido). He was trained by Sensei Steven Weber, the second highest ranking instructor in Nihon Goshin Aikido and has pursued additional training in Karate, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu, Aiki Jiu-Jitsu, and Hombu Aikido (Ueshiba style). To further his understanding and abilities in the martial arts, Sensei Wyndham has also studied the arts of Filipino Escrima (Kali and Arnis), Ryu Te Kempo, Tai Chi, and European Fencing.
Mr. Wyndham is a native of South Carolina and a graduate of the University of South Carolina School of Pharmacy. He is a registered pharmacist, practicing in the Upstate (since 1982), and a life member of the National Registry of Who's Who. During his extensive career as an instructor, he has instructed numerous law enforcement professionals from the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Department, the Spartanburg County Solicitor's Office, the Spartanburg County Detention Center, the Greenville County Sheriff's Department and the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department. Some of his dedicated students have gone on to join the FBI, US Marshal Service, US Marines, US Army, and most recently the Federal Air Marshal program.
Sensei Wyndham also provides martial arts and self-defense programs for educational facilities such as the University of South Carolina Upstate, Wofford College, Oakbrook Preparatory School, Spartanburg Day School, and numerous Upstate SC school districts. Mr. Wyndham continues to conduct self-defense classes and courses for numerous women's groups, after school programs, church groups, and civic organizations. He has also provided courses and demonstrations for numerous corporations such as Milliken and BMW, to name a couple. Sensei Wyndham has also been featured on WSPA Channel 7, WYFF Channel 4, and the Peggy Denny Show on WGGS Channel 16 (Charter cable Channel 6) giving practical self-defense advice, techniques and tips.
In January, 1995; after Mr. Weber had moved to his New Port Richey, Florida location, Mr. Wyndham assumed responsibility for the Spartanburg Academy. Sensei Wyndham is the senior representative of the art of Nihon Goshin Aikido in the Southeastern United States and his dojo is one of only a few academies to teach the art in the Upstate/Greenville-Spartanburg, SC metropolitan area. His dojo also serves the outlying areas of the upstate of South Carolina and southwestern North Carolina with students coming from as far away as Charlotte, NC, Hendersonville, NC, Anderson, SC and Clinton, SC to train with him.
Mr. Wyndham is a passionate advocate for effective martial arts training and personal self-defense education. He is a husband and a father and has been an upstanding member of the Spartanburg, SC community for over 24 years. In addition to his dynamic and exciting teaching style, Mr. Wyndham emphasizes values such as honor, loyalty, respect, hard work, self-control and fair play in his teaching methods.
During its long history, the Aikido Academy of Self-Defense has been a center for effective martial arts training and self-defense education in the Upstate/Greenville-Spartanburg Metropolitan area. Men, women, and children, throughout the Upstate of South Carolina and southwestern North Carolina, travel to our dojo to learn the best self-defense techniques from Aikido, Karate, Jiu-jitsu and Judo. The Spartanburg main dojo is known as a center for educating instructors in how to teach, and has produced a number of chief instructors in Nihon Goshin Aikido.
In 1997, the Aikido Academy moved to a modern, state of the art facility. This building was designed specifically for the development of students and instructors in the art of Nihon Goshin Aikido. Our dojo maintains a staff of dedicated and highly educated instructors. These mature and competent men and women have trained in Nihon Goshin Aikido for a minimum of 5 years. All of our senior instructors are college educated, some with master level degrees, and have had many years of Aikido and self-defense training. At our academy we take great pride in the quality of our instructors.

Olympia, WA -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Mitigation Division brings its traveling demonstration of earthquake repairs, preparedness and mitigation to Vancouver, Washington on May 1.
What: "This Strong House: The Nuts and Bolts of Strengthening."
Where: Clark College, Foster Auditorium, 1800 East McLaughlin Blvd, Vancouver, WA
When: Tuesday, May 1 at 3 and 6:30 p.m.
The presentation is free of charge and open to the public. It is designed to help residents and business owners understand how to increase the strength and survivability of their buildings through retrofitting. FEMA experts will explain and demonstrate repairing and retrofitting foundations, chimneys and the house itself from earthquake damage. Informational handouts on repairs, retrofitting and applying for disaster assistance will be available.
"We've discovered that every dollar spent on mitigation saves at least two dollars in repair costs following a disaster," said Carl Cook, FEMA's Deputy Federal Coordinating Officer for Mitigation.
The workshop features a cut-away model house, a chimney model and a cabinet model. Using the models, FEMA mitigation experts will explain in detail how to retrofit a home or business building and answer questions about repairing chimney damage. FEMA experts also will display and explain the need for a personal safety kit for each home and business building, including what it should contain and where it should be stored.
Mitigation is defined as any action taken to permanently eliminate or sharply reduce the long-term vulnerability of human life and property from hazards.
Further information about the workshop can be obtained by calling 360-596-3000. FEMA urges quake victims to register for assistance by calling 1-800-462-9029.

- Obama praises CIA's effort to find Osama bin Laden
In December 2001, three months after her husband, United Airlines pilot Jason Dahl, was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, Sandy Dahl made a Christmas wish.
She wished for Osama bin Laden's death. Sunday night, she learned her long-ago wish had come true.
"I feel like I can close the door on Osama bin Laden," said Dahl, who lives in Lone Tree. "I feel like he does now have the justice he deserves and will be meeting his maker."
For the local families who lost loved ones Sept. 11, 2001, news of bin Laden's death brought waves of emotion.
Gene Yancey, a Colorado Springs resident whose daughter, Kathryn Yancey LaBorie, died in the attacks, said he first felt joy, quickly made bittersweet as he thought of his daughter. Next came questions: How was bin Laden found? How was he killed?

- Video: ABC News on Osama bin Laden's death
And then Yancey said he thought about U.S. troops still fighting in Afghanistan and the sacrifices they have made.
"It conjures up a lot of feelings," Yancey said. "It brings back a lot of memories. But I'm so happy that they found him and got him. . . . It's a good day for the United States."
About 30 people with strong ties to Colorado died in the Sept. 11 attacks. Some grew up or went to college here. Others had family in the area. At least two were Colorado residents.
Sandy Dahl's husband was the captain of United Flight 93, which crashed into a Pennsylvania farm field as passengers and crew members struggled with terrorists for control of the plane.
Dahl said she learned about bin Laden's death in a news flash while watching television. At first, she said, the report sounded speculative, and she wasn't sure she could believe it. When she learned his death was confirmed — and that it came at the hands of U.S. forces — she felt relief.
"I couldn't stand the thought of him just sleeping peacefully and not waking up," she said.
Dahl said she thought not just of Jason but of friends and colleagues at United Airlines who were also murdered in bin Laden's plot.
Dahl said her emotions Sunday night also included gratitude.
"I'm very happy that our military has been diligent in looking for him," Dahl said.
"I'm happy that he's finally stopped. I'd like to thank the military so much for continuing to search."

County may turn farm into park
Property has $1.91 million price tag
WALWORTH COUNTY MAY purchase agricultural land in the town of Lyons and turn it into a park. The rolling acres of crop land are visible from Sheridan Springs road, but beyond that is a wooded area with more than five miles of existing trails. The White River also meanders through the property.

ELKHORN — It could be mistaken for a postcard. The rolling acres and old cedar barn at the intersection of Sheridan Springs and Short roads is the quintessential image of agriculture in Walworth County.
Beyond the farmhouse, silo and agriculture land lies a wooded area where the White River meanders through trees and hiking trails.
"You really can't tell from the road what the property looks like. You have to get in and see the trails," County Board Supervisor Nancy Russell said. "There is quarry that is filled with water and it is just beautiful. One of the trails runs along side (the quarry) so you can look down into the water. It is just very, very unusual and beautiful."
A property that Russell describes as "absolutely wonderful" may soon become a county-owned park. The owner of the land, Duane Clark, hopes to sell it to the county for $1.91 million.
Kevin Brunner, Walworth County's Director of Central Services, described the property as 195 acres, which is about 70 percent agriculture and 30 percent woodlands. Clark said there is about 9,000 feet of frontage on both sides of the White River. Clark has also already developed about five miles of trails, Brunner said.
The property also is on both sides of Sheridan Springs Road.
Russell acknowledges that the property's price tag may be too much for some residents in Walworth County to accept, but she believes buying the land is the right decision.
"There is never a good time to do these things," Russell said. "If the economy was really hot, as it was a few years ago when developers were looking for property and individuals were looking for this type of land, we may not have this type of opportunity."
The county's cost for the property could be cut in half with a matching stewardship grant from the state.
Russell said the county wouldn't purchase the property without the matching grant.
Brunner said that application is due in May to the DNR, and the county will know by midsummer whether it will be awarded the grant.
"We are pretty optimistic about the grant because our county has not received a lot of stewardship funding in the past, we have received some funding, but it is really minimal compared to other counties," Brunner said.
"From the DNR folks we have talked to we have received a good response that this would be a good candidate for funding."
On Feb. 12, the Walworth County Board met in closed session to discuss purchasing the park. On a 6-4 vote, the board approved spending $5,000 to have a six-month option to buy the property at its appraised value of $1.91 million.
Supervisors Tim Brellenthin, Jerry Grant, Daniel Kilkenny, Joe Schaefer, David Weber and Russell voted in favor of the park. Supervisors Richard Brandl, Kenneth Monroe, Carl Redenius and Rick Stacey voted against it. Supervisor Tim Schiefelbein was absent.
Clark accepted the county's offer on Feb. 18, and it extends until mid-August, Brunner said.
On March 18, from 6 to 8 p.m., the county is set to host an informational meeting where the public will have a chance to voice their opinions and ask questions. During the forum, the financing of the park and potential uses will be discussed.
Brunner said to qualify for the stewardship grant the state requires requires five specific uses for park: trails (for hiking), trapping, fishing, hunting and cross-country skiing.
The idea of cross-country skiing occurring close to hunting may sound alarming, but Brunner said the activities can coexist.
"You can limit hunting and trapping to certain seasons and certain dates during the year," Brunner said. "We would have to put together a master plan for the park."
With the property having access to both sides of the White River, Brunner said he could also envision kayaking and canoeing launch areas on the property.
Brunner said the old barn could turn into a nature center.
As for the financing, Russell said the county has park acquisition funds to help purchase the land. That fund isn't large enough to cover the entire cost of the property, but Russell said another county fund can be used to cover the balance.
Brunner said the county may also lease parts of the agriculture land to a farmer and could lease the barn and farmhouse. However, no decisions have been made, and the county may opt not to buy the park by mid-August.
Why another park?
The county has developed a park plan which recommends creating two new parks, one in the southeastern quadrant of the county and the other in the southwestern quadrant.
Currently, Walworth County only has three county-owned parks. Price Park is in the town of LaFayette, and Nature Land Park is near Whitewater Lake. The third park is located around the Government Center in Elkhorn.
"We are very park deficient compared to most counties," Brunner said. "I don't think we will ever have as many parks as a lot of the counties surrounding us."
Even when including state-operated parks in the area, Walworth County has less park land than other counties in the region, Brunner said.
Russell said she toured the property last summer, and was impressed with what it has to offer.
"Certainly there will be hiking and cross country skiing, and it will be a very-low impact park. It has a great deal of natural resources in there," Russell said.
Russell said the woods are of high-quality and so are the trails.
"There is a wonderful cedar barn near the entrance of the property, it is just ideal," she said.

the Musical
Based on the Novel by Gregory Maguire
Book by Winnie Holzman
Music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz
Long before Dorothy dropped in, two other girls meet in the
Land of Oz. One, born with emerald-green skin, is smart, fiery and
misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular.
How these two unlikely friends end up as the Wicked Witch of the
West and Glinda the Good Witch makes for the most spellbinding new
musical in years.
the untold story of the witches of Oz, features music and lyrics
by Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, Academy Award
winner for Pocahontas and The Prince of Egypt) and
book by Winnie Holzman ("My So Called Life," "Once And Again" and
"thirtysomething"), and is based on the best-selling novel by Gregory
Maguire. With musical staging by Tony Award winner Wayne Cilento
(Aida, The Who's Tommy, How To Succeed...),
WICKED is directed by 2003 and
2004 Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Assassins, Take Me Out,
Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune).
Gregory Maguire creates a fantasy world so rich and vivid that we will never look at Oz the same way again. Wicked is about a land where animals talk and strive to be treated like first-class citizens, Munchkinlanders seek the comfort of middle-class stability, and the Tin Man becomes a victim of domestic violence. And then there is the little green-skinned girl named Elphaba, who will grow up to become the infamous Wicked Witch of the West, a smart, prickly, and misunderstood creature who challenges all our preconceived notions about the nature of good and evil.
This special edition of the novel includes 16 pages of full-color photographs of the original Broadway production of the musical.

paatle.com, a new free-to-list real estate website that was nominated as one of this year's Inman Innovator finalists, is now officially out of beta.
The website was first founded in February this year, and now says it has users and properties in 606 cities within 54 countries worldwide. Instead of a traditional listing search, paatle.com prompts users to create "seek" requests and then notifies real estate agents in the location the home hunter is interested in.
paatle.com's other features include the ability to create city "watch lists" to find out when new properties are listed in a particular location, and the option to "follow" properties that are not yet on the market and receive updates when they become available.
paatle.com says this approach saves home hunters from spending time on "inefficient property searches across various portals and realtor websites." While it is currently free-to-list, a paatle.com spokesperson says the website will introduce a "freemium" model in future.
"paatle.com intelligently brings properties to consumers while enabling the entire real estate eco-system of realtors, property owners, developers and managers to showcase their inventory like never before and interact directly with clients globally," says paatle.com founder and CEO Peter Alfred-Adekeye. "We are very excited about the speed with which paatle.com has been adopted across the world and look forward to expanding our footprint even further in the years to come."

Need some clarification on lighting
I have a 10 gallon tank with live plants, however I have never actually payed much attention to the lighting.
The lights I have are the ones that came with the tank, two 15 watt (I believe) incandescent lights. My plants have been growing well and I've had them all for nearly a year. I have Bacopa, hygro and crypt. Don't ask me for the full names cause I have no idea, lol.
Today I went to the store and picked up a Amazon Sword plant and the guy told me they need a lot of light... Can someone please tell me if the lights I have are sufficient or if I should change them? Any recommendations on different lights?
Swords don't need a lot of light. I however would change the bulbs you have in your hood. The best kind to get would be 2 10w CFL bulbs. GE makes some that are classified as "daylight" bulbs that will work. You need some that are around 6500k. This bulbs can be produced at most hardware stores.
Well some swords do so to clarify Amazon swords do not need a lot of light.
Okay great, thanks. I will look for those bulbs tomorrow.
Also, some of the leaves of the swords are at the water surface level but still submerged. I was looking for a tall plant to provide some surface cover for female bettas. Can too much light damage the leaves?
I dont think so but being closer to the light they might develop some algae on them. If the algae gets out of control that can hurt the leaf. Also might wanna wait till someone else responds as I am not totally sure on the wattage ppl run in those hoods. I am think 10w but it might be something like 13w instead.
It can be either wattage though generally if you are just starting out less is better. Floating leaves should not develop excess algae growth. If light is in excess plants often change the compisition of their chlorophyll. Normally they get a redish tinge. The result is less efficient photosynthesis by those leaves.
Posted via Mobile Device
I'm in agreement with what's been posted by others. I use the GE "daylight" 10w compact fluorescent bulbs on my 10g (2 bulbs) and it is perfect. With your stem plants though i would go with the 13w bulbs. Probably 8-10 hours per day should do it. N utrients must be in balance to avoid the algae.
I went to Wal-mart today and could not find the bulbs you guys are talking about.
Could only find 25-40 watt bulbs in the lighting section. I'll keep looking..
There may be two watt numbers on the package. Watt equivalent, which would be higher and is a measure of light output as compared to an incandescent bulb of that wattage. The other number would be actual watts used, which is what you need in the 10-13 range. For example a 14 watt CFL will be about 60 watt equivalent.

When the Swing Justice Doesn't Swing
Rumors of Anthony Kennedy as a moderate on abortion are wildly overblown.
Since Kennedy joined the court, there have been 10 such peripheral abortion cases. Looking closely at them, we can see almost the same track record as with the more obvious abortion restrictions. In eight of these cases, Kennedy voted against the interests of abortion rights. What about the other two cases then? Maybe those prove he swings on abortion. Both of those cases were so uncontroversial in the context of abortion that Kennedy's vote was joined by other justices who are universally perceived as against abortion. In both cases, Chief Justice William Rehnquist and Justice Byron White (the original dissenters in Roe) joined Kennedy, as did Scalia and Thomas (Thomas only joined for one; he wasn't on the court for the other). In other words, if these two votes in peripheral abortion cases make Kennedy a "swing justice" on abortion, then they would also make the court's staunchest antiabortion justices swing justices.
Further evidence that Kennedy is not a swing vote in the opinions he has authored about abortion: The language he wrote in Casey about dignity, autonomy, and self-definition was technically jointly authored by three Justices—Kennedy, O'Connor, and David Souter. Since then, however, when Kennedy has authored opinions himself about abortion, he has been blistering.
In 2000 he dissented from the court's decision that a Nebraska restriction on second-trimester abortions was unconstitutional. Kennedy's dissent uses language straight out of the antiabortion movement's talking points. He calls the doctor an "abortionist." He calls the fetus "unborn" life. He calls the abortion procedure at issue one that "many decent and civilized people find so abhorrent as to be among the most serious of crimes against human life." He was arguably even worse in 2007 when he wrote the opinion for the court upholding a federal version of the Nebraska law. In that case, he likened the procedure to "infanticide" and paternalistically talked about the importance of preventing women from having "regret" about their decisions. In dissent, Ginsburg was so angered by Kennedy's language that she accused him of having "hostility" toward the right to abortion and invoking an "antiabortion shibboleth" in defense of his position.
Given all the evidence, we should be long past considering Kennedy a swing vote on abortion. He has voted to allow 20 of the 21 abortion restrictions he has evaluated to take effect. He has sided with the antiabortion position in all of the peripheral abortion cases that have been controversial. And the opinions he has written about abortion have become increasingly hostile to abortion rights.
Looking at Kennedy in this more accurate light, what can we predict about efforts to prevent antiabortion legislation from taking effect? Practically, it probably doesn't change much in terms of litigation strategy in the Supreme Court. The other four conservative justices are almost guaranteed to vote against abortion rights, so the only option is to try to get Kennedy to take a more moderate position. For advocates before the court, that shouldn't change, but for those of us who watch on the outside, expectations should be seriously tempered.
With those tempered expectations, all hope isn't lost though. We have to put our efforts elsewhere and stop hoping for Kennedy to save us. Those efforts can be and have been successful. Political organizing and mobilization can work—just look at Albuquerque earlier this week or California last month. Lower courts, both state and federal, can protect abortion rights, as we've seen last month in the Oklahoma Supreme Court and in August in the 9th Circuit. Working to limit the effect of newly passed laws can also be somewhat successful, as Pennsylvania's recent experience demonstrates. And with the Senate changing the filibuster rules for judicial nominees, we can now focus our efforts on pushing the president to nominate federal judges who are strong and unabashed proponents of abortion rights.
Even in this scary age, there is hope for abortion rights. But we should be honest about one thing: It's very unlikely to come in the form of Anthony Kennedy.

Do I need to adjust my truss rod?
I just took 13-60 strings off of one of my guitar that was set to six string B-standard tuning and put 11-53 on it to be played in D standard. I adjusted the action and intonation but Im not sure if I have to do anything to the truss rod? Im no where near an expert with this stuff and Im not entirely too sure what to look for. I look down the neck and I dont think id be able to tell if there were a problem. I mean it looks straight with a slight curve (of which ive been told is supposed to be there) so im not sure if I should just leave it or what. Any advice?
If you can't tell a problem, you're probably okay. With one hand fret the low E at the first fret, and with the other hand fret the 12th. There should be only the tiniest of margins between the string and the frets in the middle. You can then test it while still fretting the 1st and 12th, by tapping as close to the middle as you can. I can get to about the 8th fret I think. You should be able to tap it, but barely. If it's already resting on the frets, or there's a big gap, it needs adjusting.
Ok I did this and the string is barely above the fret. Like very slightly above it. Is this ok?
I would think going from 13s to 11s would actually improve the action. If none of the strings are so low they're buzzing and you're diggin' the action then you're good to go.
That sounds perfect. Try it again in a couple days though. I've HEARD of necks adjusting slowly from string changes. So just to be safe, do the same test again in a couple days. But for now, you're all good.
Thank you very much, that was helpful. Looking at it again, it seems like the gap is SO slight that I honestly cant entirely tell. When I tap it it does go move down a bit but im not sure if i can fit anything between the fret and the string. It doesnt sound bad or anything but I dont want to ruin my neck and its a set thru
