Ted Simons: A mid-term look at the current U.S. Supreme Court session shows that several big cases have already been decided with a number of other notable cases still pending. ASU law professor Paul Bender is here to talk about what we've seen so far this go-around. Good to see you again.
Paul Bender: Nice to see you.
Ted Simons: Let's in general, thoughts on the term so far?
Paul Bender: You know, it's near the end of the term, because the term starts in October and ends at the end of June. But in fact the term is only about half over, because most of the important cases are decided near the end of the term. It looks like they'll decide about 75 cases, which is what they've been doing recently. They have about 30 more to go. And they tend to be the more important cases. But up until now, they have decided at least three cases that are quite important. And they're about five cases that are yet to be decided that are potentially very important. So this could end up being a really important term. There's no big blockbuster like the gay marriage case, but these as you'll see in a minute, the cases they've already decided have the potential at of really changing things.
Ted Simons: Let's start with affirmative action there in this case. This was a Michigan case?
Paul Bender: It's from Michigan, yeah. But it affects Arizona because we have exactly the same constitutional provision that was involved in the Michigan case. Michigan has a constitutional provision as does Arizona that prohibits the Universities, the state Universities from engaging in race conscious affirmative action. And the question is whether that -- The prohibition of affirmative action was constitutional. The lower court held narrowly that it violated the equal protection clause because it disadvantaged minorities because it was minorities who would be wanting to get these affirmative action programs. And anybody else could go to the University and say, hey, start an affirmative action program for athletes, alumni, children, flute players, whatever. They can go and the University is free to do that. But if a minority group goes and says we want an affirmative action program for members of our group, the state constitution prohibits the University from doing that. That was the basis of the lower court decision, was that -- And there was some previous Supreme Court cases that seemed to support the idea that if you make it harder for minorities to get something done on their behalf, then is true for other groups that that's unconstitutional. The court in this case said you're over reading those cases. They don't mean that. The only time it's bad to stop people from doing something to help minorities, if the minorities have been harmed in some way. But here, the court says the fact that there are very few minorities in the University, that's not legally causing harm, the university has a right to have an affirmative action program, but it doesn't have to. And therefore if the voters want to take over and say, well, the University can decide not to have it, so why can't the voters decide not to have it, they ought to be able to decide we don't want an affirmative action program.
Ted Simons: It seems like the bottom line there that the court is basically saying let the voters decide.
Paul Bender: Yeah, let the voters decide. Right. And so what that means is that any state would now be free to adopt the constitutional amendment prohibiting its universities from having affirmative action. And that could be a disaster for the diversity of American universities, because schools continue to use admissions generally use admissions formula for the general population, which have a discriminatory effect upon minorities. If you use like if our law school just used our usual criteria for admission, we'd have very few Hispanics, very few blacks, almost no American Indians. So if schools can't use affirmative action that would really change the face of higher education. And this authorizes states to adopt constitutional provisions that would stop that kind of affirmative action.
Ted Simons: Was this decision expected?
Paul Bender: Yes.
Ted Simons: Ok. No surprise there.
Paul Bender: No surprise at all. It was 5-4. But it was expected, yes.
Ted Simons: Ok. Another case decided involving starting government meetings with sectarian prayer. What's this about?
Paul Bender: Well, what it's about is a city council in New York started its city council meetings, and you know city council meetings are not like a legislature meeting, because the people come there and they make proposals, the city council does all kinds of things. So at the start of the meeting, with the city council people up in the front, but people in the audience who were getting ready to make presentations, they started with a prayer. And for about 10 years they only had Christian prayers. And some of them were really overtly sectarian. People making the sign of the cross, and invoking Jesus Christ. And the second circuit said you can have prayers, but you can't have prayers that are that consistently one religion, and that openly sectarian. And the Supreme Court took that case, which really surprised me, cause I thought what are they going to do with that? They're in a real fix, the Supreme Court. They can't really say that you can't start an official function with a prayer, because they start their official function with a prayer. Number one. And number two, because Congress has always done that. And because they healed state legislature could do that some years ago. On the other hand, it does seem to a lot of people, including the dissenters in this case, a little unseemly to have a governmental function started with a really strongly sectarian prayer. Let's ask our god, not your god, but our god for help in doing things. But the only way the court could deal with that would be to say, you can pray, but it has to be a bland prayer, or nonsectarian prayer. And I think Justice Kennedy correctly says that that's not a thing a court ought to be doing, is censoring prayers to make sure they are non-sectarian. But still you don't want to let them do anything at the beginning of a meeting. So he shifted it from saying what I think -- It from saying from what I think they warned him to say, that it has to be nonsectarian, to saying you can have a sectarian prayer but you can't have it be so strong that you seem to be proselytizing or you seem to be expressing a discriminatory attitude. If you do that, then that would be unconstitutional. So the courts still have to draw the line between permissible and nonpermissible prayers but they moved the line over toward the sectarian end of the scale.
Ted Simons: So ok because it's ceremonial, ok because it's a national tradition, but don't denigrate, don't proselytize.
Paul Bender: Yeah, I'm glad you said ceremonial, because Justice Kennedy in his opinion invented a new term for me, a ceremonial prayer. That seems to be an oxymoron.
Ted Simons: So basically this is -- You don't think this is over, we'll see more cases along these lines?
Paul Bender: Well you may. What you'll see is an outpouring, a lot of city councils were reluctant to start with prayers. Some had done it, they were challenged and they stopped. But I think this may give rise to a lot of places doing it, and if the prayers get really strong, then there will be litigation about it. But it really does change things in the country from a time when prayers at these kinds of meetings, government meetings, where the public participated, I think we're going out. People realize that's really not a good thing. It's one thing to have the legislature-- it's something where only legislators are there, if the legislatures wanted, and no one is complaining about it, who cares? But here people are coming to petition against the city council, arguing cases to the city council on a zoning variance, suppose you are a Muslim. And -- Or an orthodox Jew and the prayer is very strongly Catholic or Christian something like that. What are you supposed to do? They ask you to stand, the person giving the prayer says everybody stand. If you don't stand, and now you're about to argue the city council that you want something, and you are showing that our dissenter, that's very uncomfortable. So to me the right answer is they shouldn't be any prayers at all. But if there are going to be prayers I guess I favored the dissent saying, ok, if they get to be too sectarian, then the court should strike them down. It's vague, but at least it puts some break on it.
Ted Simons: All right. We also had a case, we discussed this on the program before, the McCutchen case, overall limits on campaign contributions struck down. You still got the caps on the donations to single candidates but the aggregate is now adios?
Paul Bender: The aggregate is now adios. And I think it's another step toward adiosing the individual caps. There are four people on the court who clearly don't like any restrictions on campaign financing. But Justice Kennedy up until now has been unwilling to go along with it. So they've been eating away at laws. In this case what they said was, it was a federal law that capped the total amount you could give to all candidates in all federal elections in a particular cycle. It was a lot of money. I think it was about $100, 000. But you couldn't give $100 million to all candidates. And the court said, no, that's unconstitutional. Because the only thing that justifies limiting campaign contributions is a quid pro quo exchange. That is, I'll give you a contribution if you do something for me. And this was not tailored to that. This just said that people could not give more than a certain amount of money to all the candidates all around country. And they said that doesn't turn on whether they're getting something back for it. The court says it's got to be direct. I'll give you this, you give me that. Therefore it wasn't corruption, that the states -- The federal government Sen titled to fight. So that opens up the possibility, it's really interesting, because people can say in Arizona, if you have a lot of money, you cannot only really influence elections in Arizona, you can influence elections in New York, in California, in Maryland. You can give your money anywhere you want. That seems to me to be people complain about citizens united, and that's a problem. But this in some ways seems to me to be even worse, because it is removed -- What you're having is people from one part of the country trying to influence elections in another part of the country, that is people in New York are going to influence what people in Iowa vote for for Congress? For the state legislature. That use of money to do that kind of thing strikes me as being a little bit against Democratic traditions.
Ted Simons: Quickly, was it unusual Justice Thomas wrote a separate opinion, he basically wants to get rid of all of the limits, and Justice Breyer read his dissenting opinion from the bench. Unusual?
Paul Bender: The first is not unusual. Justice Thomas has a lot of positions on constitutional issues that he is the only one who takes that position. And he's staunch about it. He's not going to change. Breyer reading his opinion in that case from the bench is a little bit unusual. He doesn't usually do that, he doesn't usually get that upset, but I think it's because he really thinks that this -- I think he sees what's coming. What's coming is removing all restrictions on campaign finance laws. So he sees coming that the court is going to open the floodgates completely to money dominating elections, and he thinks that's a bad idea.
Ted Simons: There are a number of pending cases, and we can't get to all of them, or even most of them, or even more then maybe one of them, but the one I think that seems to be interesting to you involves search and seizure and cell phones.
Paul Bender: Yeah. That's potentially a very big case. At the end of the term the court heard two cases that raise the question of whether when you get arrested for anything, going through a stop sign, or murder, it doesn't matter, whether if you have a cell phone on your person, the police are entitled to seize it without a warrant and to go through it, look at everything in it without a warrant. And the government is taking the position that they can do that. And I think the court -- It's really the first Time when the court has to face how the digital revolution affects the fourth amendment in a really important way. Because what the government says is if you have a bench bunch of papers on you they could look at those. All a cell phone is is a bunch of papers. You know maybe a million papers instead of five, but what's the difference. So that's going to be very interesting to see what the court does with that.
Ted Simons: What do you think the court is going to do with that?
Paul Bender: I think they will put some limits on police ability to look at anything on your cell phone. It's hard, because what they should want to say is you can look for the stuff that is related to the reason you arrested the person, but how do you do that with a cell phone? When you're look for one thing you're going find other things.
Ted Simons: Right, anyone on the list all of a sudden becomes part of the -- OK. Real quickly, there's one more I want to get to, and this one involves the President's recessed appointment power. Because it seems to me, this is a quietly very important case.
Paul Bender: It's potentially very important, yeah. The recess appointment power is an anomaly. It really doesn't make sense any more. It was put in the constitution at a time when Congress was -- Senate was in session for maybe three, four months of the year, then they would go away. And for six months they wouldn't be there. Well, the secretary of state leaves office, you don't want to say to the president he can't have another secretary of state so they gave him a recess appointment power. The recess appointment assist is one where the president can appoint without senate confirmation and the appointment last until the end of the next legislative session after the senate comes back, they can decide what to do. Well that's not true anymore. There are no real long recesses. And so what presidents have done is continued to use the recess appointment power because as you know, many presidential say nominees just don't vote on them so the President says okay I'll wait for you to leave on the weekend, and I'll appoint a recess appointment. And that's what's at issue in this case. Whether in the very brief recesses the president can make a recess appointment.
Ted Simons: Is there any hint how narrow or how broad they could decide that case?
Paul Bender: It could be very -- There's a whole spectrum of different decisions they could make. I don't think it was -- I listened to the argument I didn't see any indication of whether it's going to be broad or narrow. I'm not even sure what they're going to do about it. It's a real dilemma for them because it's -- The president has people he needs to appoint. Congress is not doing its job. Should the president have a way to get around that, that's the issue before the court.
Ted Simons: Very quickly, the concept of the filibuster, which the definition seems to have changed here in recent years, how does that factor in?
Paul Bender: The fact they've gotten rid of filibustering of judicial appointments I think has some effect upon this decision. Because that's -- That makes it harder for the senate to slow up those appointments. So that tends to support the side that would say the President cannot make these appointments. But this case is not involving judicial appointment. This case involves members of the national labor relations board and the senate wouldn't fill them for a long time. So the board didn't have any members. And you can stop an agency for doing something with that, so the president said, Ok, I can't let that happen, so I'll wait until they leave town for a couple days and I'll appoint somebody. That doesn't seem right either.
Ted Simons: All right, well lots of good stuff there and when the session ends we'll invite you back, because there's a lot more to talk about. Good to see you again.

Hello Everyone,
I'm a returning to road cycling after a long break. About 8yrs ago I commuted by bike to college (8mi away) while living up in CT, but then I got a car, a job...and so on. I'm trying to get back into things and work up the speed and stamina to do my current 16 mile commute to work most days of the week.
I have a Trek 1100 from the mid 90's that is a 56cm. Recently, I purchased a used 58cm Fuji Finest since I think my Trek may be a tad small on me. Just got clipless pedals and shoes yesterday and will soon start experimenting riding with them.
I hang out in NW Broward County and work in Boca Raton, FL.

Following the 2010 regular season, the comparable pitcher to Roy Halladay on the Baseball-Reference website was Ron Guidry.
Roy Halladay had some strong words earlier this week regarding the Phillies' decision to replace manager Charlie Manuel with Ryne Sandberg.
LAKEWOOD, N.J. -- In his first comments since Charlie Manuel was fired last week, Roy Halladay sounded like a man who believed it was time for the Phillies to change managers.
LAKEWOOD, N.J. -- Roy Halladay knows that the velocity -- or lack thereof -- on his pitches is an issue.
Roy Halladay pitched in a competitive situation for the first time since May 5 when he worked six innings for the Phillies' Gulf Coast League team in Clearwater, Fla., on Thursday.

The Mammoth relieved head coach Bob Hamley and assistants Ed Comeau and Sean Ferris of their coaching duties "effective immediately," according to a release Tuesday by the National Lacrosse League team.
"I have tremendous respect and admiration for Bob, Ed and Sean, and can't say enough about what tremendous men they are," said Mammoth president and general manager Steve Govett in a statement. "Unfortunately, our team has not met the organization's expectations. Change was necessary."
Hamley was in his fifth season as head coach, while Comeau and Ferris were in their fourth.
No replacements have been named at this time. An announcement regarding the coaching staff will be made "in the near future," according to the team.
Colorado plays host to the Calgary Roughnecks on Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Pepsi Center. The Mammoth enters that game with a 4-7 record this season.

This review is from: Synology DS209 2100 2TB Disk Station 2-bay SATA NAS Server for Workgroups and Offices
Pros: A small, quiet little box that sits in the corner and is packed full of features. GigEthernet with Jumbo frames a print server, webserver, multimedia server and file server in one. It does exatly what I need it to do and has been simple to setup and maintain. Everything it does is very one click and your done and it doesn't take a lot of knowledge to use. I use Windows 7 and I haven't had any problems mapping drives to it or managing it through IE8. They also have a great forum with a lot of "How To" guides. I'm running the Webserver and Photostation and it's easy. I enabled the features and it created two shared folders Web and PhotoStation. I copy my webpages to the Web folder and my photos to the Photostation folder. Forward port 80 through my router to the NAS and it does the rest. Instant webpage.
Cons: The USB backup feature does not seem to be functioning and the Data Replication feature is a little wonky. I've found it easier to just create a share for backups and map a drive to it. Then I can manually copy to it when needed. When I took it out of the box it was rattling, two of the harddrive screws were loose in the case. It scared the heck out of me but was easily fixed and luckily they didn't do any damage other than take one "Star" off of the review.
Other Thoughts: I didn't want to go through the hassle of finding compatible harddrives so I went with pre-installed version. It cost a little more than if I had purchased the harddrives seperatley. However the drives were setup in RAID 1, partitioned and formatted right out of the box. This saved me hours of setup time. I was really sold on this NAS when I found a working demo on their website. You can connect into a NAS and check out all the features using the management interface. When I booted mine for the first time there were no surprises.

Last week's sneak peek at Ferrari's replacement for the 599 GTO didn't spoil all the surprises. Here are the first official pics of what Ferrari will call the F12 Berlinetta, a V-12 powered coupe that can hit 60 mph in 3.1 seconds and ranks as the fastest road-going Ferrari built to date.
Using tricks learned from its Formula 1 cars, Ferrari claims the F12 burns less fuel and goes faster than its predecessors thanks to combination of high-tech machinery, wickedly complex weight loss schemes and a bit of black magic aerodynamics. The 6.3-liter V-12 shared with the Ferrari FF has been boosted to 730 hp and 509 ft-lbs of torque, yet can get nearly 19 mpg under Euro testing with an optional stop-start system. That power goes through a seven-speed gearbox and electric differential, both resized to shrink the car's footprint. That gap you see at the top of the hood is what Ferrari calls an "aero bridge" -- a tunnel that shunts air out the vents behind the front wheel arches, helping reduce the car's drag.
With just 3,362 lbs. to haul around -- thanks to a chassis with 20 different alloys of aluminum -- Ferrari says the F12's top speed lies north of 211 mph, and that its lapped Ferrari's Fiorano test track in 1 minute, 23 seconds, a record for any car Ferrari puts on public roads. The company will start taking orders in Geneva, and at first glance, Ferrari won't lack for shoppers.

What is a motivated buyer?
The Bankrate.com financial term of the day is: "Motivated Buyer"
Maybe you just landed a job in a new city and need to relocate in a hurry, or you put your house on the market and it sold immediately, before you had much of a chance to shop around for your next house. In either case, you are a motivated buyer. That's someone who's understandably eager to make a purchase.
In the housing market, a motivated buyer is a homebuyer who has a strong reason to buy, and buy quickly.

Hello all forum members. Please allow me to "introduce" myself. I am a 51 year old man in the NE Ohio area who I guess fits into the "Clyde" category since I am 5'7" and 225#. Now just to clarify, I am a former competitive bodybuilder who used to compete in the Light Heavyweight (NPC) class and my normal non-competition bodyweight has been in the 210+ range for the past 25 years. Of course as I have aged and life has slowed me down some of that weight is definitely "extraneous" at this point. I could probably stand to loose 15 - 20# but my waist is currently 34" and my chest 48" so I will probably always be a "Clyde" in this bike world. (Very strange since in my bodybuilding/weight lifting world any man < 180# or so off-season is considered a "lightweight" - and our big quads come from heavy squats!)
Anyhow, my wife and I recently got back into biking. We have old (circa 1993) Trek 930 mountain bikes that we still enjoy when camping up in the woods but really take their toll for everyday and road use. Late last year we bought a couple of new bikes: a Specialized Carmel Globe "comfort" bike (with 3 speed Nexus internal hub) for her and a Kona Dew Plus for me. I was leaning towards a Trek FX bike before I discovered the Kona. This is a great bike with components that fall between the current 7.3 and 7.5 FX models for leas than the 7.3 FX. I really like the chrome-moly fork and mechanical disc brakes. This is a perfect everyday bike that does everything adequately but nothing great! Over the past several months I found myself riding more and my wife keeping up less. I initially tried to get her into some type of fitness hybrid model but she (also 51) felt more comfortable with a women's specific 26" tire comfort model. Oh well, at least she is out there riding!
As I have been going out more by myself on roads and paths I have been wanting to go faster. After visiting several LBS, I ended up with a road bike: a 2009 CAAD9 5 model (I know, the darling of the roadies on this forum). While a few of the others I tried may have been a bit more comfortable, I really liked the handling and immediate response of the CAAD 9. My LBS just happened to have a 54 model in black with a compact crank and I was all set. After a few weeks of riding I am getting more used to the posture and dynamics of a road bike. Lat week I bought some clipless pedals and shoes and am getting used to those. At this time I am trying to get in several 10 - 20 mile rides during the week (as work permits) and a 25+ mile ride on the weekends (as family obligations permit).
While only 5'7" with a 30.25" inseam, I do have a very long torso (and big feet). A 54 frame in both the Kona and Cannondale actually fit me the "best". The 52 CAAD 9 was a bit too cramped for my upper body.
So I guess I "qualify" for several forums: recreational, roadie, Clyde, and 50+. Since I cannot change my age I can see the 50+ forum being a usual hangout. I have also gotten back into lifting although no illusions of competition - just keeping up my strength and stress relief. I obviously do not have an ideal road cycler physique so I have no illusions about keeping up with the young skinny guys. I just hope the wheel set of my CAAD holds up and that I never crash into a ped (or car) at 20+ MPH!
Sorry for the long intro. I promise future postings to be much shorter!

SunPower to Revise Outlook; Italy Weighs
TheStreet) -- SunPower (SPWRA) reported revenue of $450 million and earnings per share of 15 cents in the first quarter after the close on Thursday, earnings that were in line with recently revised expectations, but said that the full year view remains uncertain due to the European subsidy changes. SunPower's CFO Dennis Arriola, said in the earnings release, "We are in the process of optimizing our portfolio allocation geographically and across our downstream channels for the remainder of 2011. We expect to complete this process in the near future and plan to revise our 2011 guidance before the end of the second quarter to reflect the recent changes in Italy."The company reaffirmed its full year shipment outlook even as Europe slows as a market for solar modules. In announcing the 60% stake that European oil giant Total (TOT - Get Report) is planning to acquire in SunPower shares a few weeks ago, SunPower pre-reported its earnings guidance downward revision. SunPower net income on a non-GAAP basis was $14 million, versus $143 million in the year ago first quarter and $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. Gross margin on SunPower large-scale project business fell from 27.7% in the fourth quarter 2010 to 18% in the first quarter of the new year, while its residential and commercial business saw a slight margin decrease, from 23.8% to 23.1%. SunPower's larger business in the first quarter was the large-scale business, with revenue at $245 million, versus $200 million from its higher margin residential and commercial business. For the second quarter, SunPower is guiding to revenue of $500 million to $550 million, below the average analyst estimate of $598 million -- though the standstill in Italy has led analysts to conclude that many solar companies won't make second quarter numbers. The solar company reaffirmed its full year shipment target of 825 megawatts to 920 MW, though it highlighted the flexible allocation strategy being employed as a result of the uncertain conditions in Europe.NEW YORK (

District Participates in New Border Patrol Station's Opening in Clint, Texas
March 14, 2013
Related Links
Lt. Col. Gant, Commander, Albuquerque District, participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the opening of the new Border Patrol Station in Clint, Texas on February 22, 2013.
In support of the USACE Fort Worth District, the new border patrol station replaced the Fabens 22,800-sq. ft. building with a 51,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility. The Fabens Border Patrol Facility, constructed in 1999, was capable of supporting 75 border patrol agents. In recent years this number has grown to 375 personnel.
"This new station is a state of the art facility which has increased full operational capability critical to national security and stakeholders," said Elizabeth Ortiz, patrol agent in charge at the Clint Border Patrol Station.
Border Patrol agents in this sector, known as the Fabens corridor, are responsible for protecting 408 square miles of interior territory and 32 miles of the International Border along the Rio Grande River.

Dish: Chow Mein (with Hand-Shaved Noodles)
Place: Spicy Talk Bistro, Redmond
Price: $8.25
On the plate: Hand-shaved noodles with your choice of pork, chicken, beef, vegetables, tofu, or prawns. Pictured is pork. It's just noodles and meat, along with some cabbage and green onions, plus chili pepper to your desired level of spice.
Supporting cast/What to do: This one is pretty straightforward. It's a WYSIWYG plate. Just dig in. If it's not spicy enough, you can ask for chili oil to raise the heat level.Noodling around: There are a lot of variations of chow mein. The main draw of Spicy Talk's version is that it's made with hand-shaved noodles. From a big ball of dough (made of wheat flour and water), the chef skillfully flicks a special tool to shave a pile of noodles for stir-frying. The noodles will have similar thickness, but with enough variation and irregularity to know that they are indeed hand-shaven. The joy of these noodles is that their thickness and freshness yield fabulous texture. Stir-fried, they're almost al dente (atypical for Chinese dishes, as noodles are usually very soft) with a bit of chew to them.
Spicy Talk is a Szechuan restaurant, so spice levels can soar. I asked for these noodles ma la, which means both numbing (from Szechuan peppercorn) and spicy (from chili peppers). Below the spice, I could still taste soy sauce, which is the foundation of the seasoning. This chow mein is a simple dish that's satisfying.
If you want more: There are many interesting possibilities on the menu, but I recommend chili with beef tripe ($5.25) as a great starter. If you don't want your noodles spicy, this dish will provide nice contrast in heat. And you'll have a second plate with plenty of texture to talk about and enjoy.
Be aware/beware: "Spicy Talk" sounds like it would be the subject for Sexy Feast, but it's just a Chinese restaurant. Unlike Bellevue's Bamboo Garden (which I believe is slightly better in quality), it's not next to an adult toy store. Yes, Redmond is far from Seattle, and more costly now that there are tolls on the 520, but Szechuan food in Seattle falls short of Eastside quality. In fact, Spicy Talk's chef Cheng Biao Yang was formerly at Seven Stars Pepper, but he sold it, and the quality has been in free-fall of late. (Between Seven Stars and Spicy Talk, he was at Szechuan Chef in Bellevue, which remains popular.)

Comfortable, durable, good looking!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
Initially I really liked this harness, mostly due to it's bomber construction, but after a few months of use and very little wear I replaced it. The harness was very uncomfortable for me, I wear a size 33 pant and have relatively big thighs but the leg loops were still too big and allowed part of my body to get squished.

Exploring the Depths: a Brief History of Marine Research
- 17 May 2016 7-8:30pm
Dr Matthew Frost, Deputy Director, Marine Biological Association of the UK
Marine research in the 20th century has transformed our understanding of the world, but evidence of marine research dates back to ancient times.
Modern day research is often associated with Captain Cook and his voyages in the 18th century. Later studies associated with Darwin and then with the HMS Challenger voyage, brought new advances and many naturalists were beginning to realise the importance of a closer study of the seas and marine life.
The Marine Biological Association of the UK was formed in 1884, with Professor T.H. Huxley as President, and the Plymouth Laboratory on the Hoe opened shortly after in 1887.

It need to be pure race (something like NFS series) .. I'm open to things like rally (colin mcrae is one i've seen but yet to decide)...
It would be helpful if anyone can list out a few nice games I can try.

Lost pics after screen replacement
I replaced screens before on two different iPhones. The last one I did yesterday made all of the pictures delete. I have taken it apart and put it back together again to make sure all is right. I do have a tiny, tiny piece of black looks like almost like what would cover a wire or something that is tiny that came out somewhere in the process and that has never happened before. Do you think that's the cause? Anyone know what to do? There were tons of pics and videos on iPhone and now nothing. Downloaded an app to see if it would view pics on there and nothing. Reset it and all that. Still nothing. Anyone know what part in the back stores pics so I can carefully examine that?
Is this a good question?

Some might find it intimidating to serve as the travel agent for a consultant named the "New Guru of Customer Service Excellence" by The Financial Post. But Lisa Timmons of United Nations Travel in Philadelphia takes it in stride.
Timmons met Micah Solomon, a speaker and author on customer service, after he gave up trying to book his own frequent travel online and decided to use a travel agent.
Early last month, Solomon wrote about why he uses an agent on Forbes.com. The article is titled "Why I Happily Waste Money on a Travel Agent (Maybe You Should Too.)"
Solomon found Timmons through his tennis teacher, who is also a concert promoter. He felt that an agent who can handle musicians with their demanding travel needs, should be able to handle his as well.
United Nations Travel is a single-location, brick-and-mortar agency in downtown Philadelphia with three full-time agents. All of its business, which is about 80% corporate, comes through referrals. The agency doesn't have a website.
As a musician herself – and member of a four-piece female Celtic band called the Molly Blooms – Timmons is well aware of the needs of musicians and other travelers with out-of-the-ordinary requirements.
Travel Market Report talked with Timmons about how she's able to impress a customer service expert like Solomon.
What does customer service mean to you?
Timmons: For me customer service is natural. It's taking care of every need that you see. Being happy, being friendly, having clients walk away feeling better than when they came in. Doing whatever's needed and doing it with a smile.
What practices make for good customer service?
Timmons: Follow-up is an important part of customer service. If someone sends you an email they don't want to wait three days for you to get back to them. If I can't deal with them right away, I email them and tell them I'll get back to them later. I never wait more than an hour to get back to people. It could be 10 minutes, but an hour's the maximum.
Customer service is being aware of every little issue that needs to be dealt with. Getting seats, for example, is a big problem. If there are only middle seats left, we'll call the client and tell them. They might want to book another flight. We do whatever it takes. For international travelers, we advise people to check their passport to make sure they have six months left on it.
You also need to be willing to admit that you've made a mistake. If we've made a mistake, we take care of it, but we also recognize that it happened.
What do you think some agents are doing wrong in serving clients?
Timmons: People like to get somebody they know to begin with. In a lot of companies you'll get somebody on the phone, and you may not get the same person the next time. A profile can only do so much. When you deal with someone again and again, it gives some consistency. Because we're a smaller agency we can offer that real intimate service.
What do you think sets you and your agency apart?
Timmons: Here we're more than just travel agents. Most of my clients would call me a friend. I like that. It makes me feel good about myself. They trust me. That's a good thing. They know I wouldn't let them down.

The Chimney Sweep Online Fireplace, Woodstove, Gas Stove and Barbecue Shop
Mathematicians: In order to compute the heat output of a given wood stove over a given period of time, we need to know the heat value contained in a full load of wood, the efficiency at which the woodstove delivers that heat, and the duration of the burn. We derived our sustained burn comparison figures using the formula below:
( firebox size in cu. in.) x ( 0.015 ) x ( 6200 ) x ( stove efficiency ) / ( burn time )
To get the firebox size in cubic inches, we multiplied the manufacturer's stated cubic foot measurement by 1728.
The 0.015 is the weight of the fuelwood per cubic inch (we used an average of the top 28 species from our firewood comparison chart ).
The 6200 is the BTU (heat) content of the fuelwood per pound, also averaged from our firewood chart, with a slight correction for airspace between wood pieces, because you can't get 2 cubic feet of wood into a 2 cubic foot firebox. Even if you really try.
For stove efficiency, we used the manufacturers' tested rating, not the rating on the EPA label. The EPA doesn't test for efficiency, and there's a disclaimer to that effect on all EPA labels, which, by the way, all show the exact same efficiency rating. Why they even bother to put that number on the labels we don't know, but we do know that all woodstoves don't operate at exactly the same efficiency, so we heed the EPA's disclaimer and disregard it.
For burn time we used 8 hours, which is an industry standard we know all our woodstoves can meet.
Note that the average btu/hr rating derived by this formula does not reflect how the heat is actually delivered over the course of the fire. In the real world, a fresh load of wood delivers much more heat toward the beginning of the fire when the gassified resins are being consumed, then gradually delivers less and less heat as the fire proceeds through the charcoaling process. This actually works out quite well, as it takes more btu's to bring a cold house up to temperature than it does to maintain that temperature.

Feel free to ignore me, but I just feel the need to vent my frustration over my cat stove and I can literally find no online presence other than you who doesn't seem to think they are wonderful. So easy, so efficient, so long-burning, so much more heat from your wood. As far as I can tell that is a load of crap. I have been busting my ass for three years now to figure out how I can get this stove to do what they all say it does continuously and automatically, and I think I know the answer: Burn only kiln-dried wood in it. Give the fire enough air to burn relatively clean on its own, and you fry the cat. Try to protect the cat, and half the time you find your stove temp down in the 200's and it takes half an hour to get it back on track. Unless you have perfectly dry wood, of course. But in the real world, each load of wood has a slightly different moisture content, and a percentage point this way or that seems to tip the stove one way or the other. With a non-cat stove, if I burn the wood at full flame like I would in a pre-EPA stove, it doesn't matter to the secondary air tubes. When they burn smoke they are just as hot. This system seems much more flexible and less fragile than the cat system, am I right? And it seems to me that the cat stove makers have neglected one of the three crucial ingredients of combustion: oxygen. Maybe if there were a secondary source of oxygen for the combustor, it wouldn't keep going out. Anyway, in the spring I am getting rid of this thing and replacing it with a non-cat model. That way I just have to make sure the wood is burning and I know the stove will do what it is supposed to do. Thanks for listening.
Oh, and I just have to complain about one other thing. This is a Woodstock Fireview I'm ranting about, and when they first designed it, it was a top loader with side venting, so air flowed along the logs lengthwise from the bottom. Good airflow, good predictable firebox heating. Now, you load it through an undersized side door, and air flows from the top front against the side of the logs. The smoke exits right next to where the air enters, so as you can imagine that part of the stove has no trouble getting hot, but just TRY to get the lower rear of the stove hot without overfiring the combustor! Just try it someday!
Hi Adam,
Thanks for the input! I must agree with your comments about fireboxes that are designed to deliver the combustion air against the side of the logs, which are loaded East-West. These tend to be more difficult to get going, and seem to produce more unburned "clinkers" than stoves designed for axial combustion (where the logs are loaded North-South so the combustion air is delivered to the endgrain, causing the logs to burn cigar style, front to rear). The root of the problem is the airwash design incorporated in today's stoves, which causes the incoming combusion air to flow down across the inside of the viewing window to keep it from sooting up. The viewing window is always on the front of the stove, so in East-West designs, the air flows against the side of the logs.
One solution you might try is to cut your wood short enough so you can load it North-South. Unfortunately, this isn't always practical if the stove is particularly shallow.
Letter #19: Tired of replacing converters
Good morning. If you don't mind taking a minute or two to
answer a question, I have a VC Defiant, that is 13 years old. I must have
replaced my catalytic converter 4x. Now all of the refractory gaskets that hold
it in place are deteriorated. To be honest, I'm tired of this woodstove, how
every year I have to put a couple hundred dollars into it. My question is, have
you guys come across any owners of this stove, who have said the heck with the
catalyst, and removed it, installed a manual damper in the flue pipe, and just
ran it like an old fashioned woodstove?
Thanks for your time,
Hi Frank,
We've heard from several people who decided not to replace a burned-out converter over the years, but none kept burning that way for very long. The catalyst causes the exhuast from the main fire to reburn, providing about 50% of the net heat into the room. Remove the converter, and you'll instantly start burning twice the wood to heat the same area.

Hello George, I really enjoyed your book :)
There were a few very interesting concepts in it and it's a great book to read.
I have a fair bit of constructive criticism if you'd like but I did enjoy it for the most part. I didn't really like the ending, it didn't hit hard enough, but it was a decent book.
If you'd like to hear that constructive criticism send me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll chat :)
PS: got your other book downloaded as well, looking forward to reading it

When Westminster College students return for studies next August, they'll still take the same route to get to classes and Priest Field, but they'll have an all-new way to walk there.
Contractors with the city of Fulton will begin working to replace the Seventh Street bridge, which spans Stinson Creek through Westminster's campus, by the time school lets out in May 2014.
City officials say from an anticipated start date of May 15, they have three-month window to complete the project in order to have the bridge replaced and the road open for traffic by the time Westminster students return in August.
City Engineer Greg Hayes said the city had partnered with the college on a project originally intended to be much smaller in scope, focusing on replacing the pedestrian walkway on the bridge.
"The sidewalk is independent from the bridge itself, but … we apply so much salt to that bridge during the winter that it really made the walking structure deficient," Hayes said. "Holes were forming in the deck, things of that nature. That's why we involved Westminster College, they're the primary users of that pedestrian walkway across the creek."
Hayes said that as the city moved forward in planning the project — and due to the cost in replacing the sidewalk, alone figured at about $100,000 — it expanded in scope to replace the entire bridge itself. Originally built in 1910, it was reconstructed in 1977 and has received little renovation since.
The project is expected to conclude Aug. 14.

It's telling that Vincent Price was so careful, when writing about Restaurant Lasserre, to contrast it with iconic Parisian locations. In a few short sentences, Price invokes the charm of Place du Tertre, Bois de Bologne, and the very concept of workingman bistros and the slightly grubby back streets and alleys so intrinsic to the Bohemian image of Paris. By contrast, Lasserre is lavish. It is opulent. And, like Paris, it exists outside of time, a classic, unblemished by short cuts or cut corners.
So perhaps, to better understand Lasserre, to place it properly, we should look at the Parisian tropes Price used to define it: the amazing collection of ponds and parks in Bois de Bologne, the streets full of painters and cafes in the Montmartre square, Place du Tertre, and the slew of cafes and bistros where the workers of Paris take their coffee and cigarettes.
A Tale of Two Cities
Chicago and Paris seemed to coexist in many ways. Both cities were growing significantly from 1830 to 1900 with an explosion of building. Around 1830, both cities began exploring the idea of well designed public parks with Chicago laying down the formations of the idea for their city between 1830 and 1869 when Lincoln Park began to take shape. Paris was ahead of Chicago, creating the magnificent Bois de Bologne in 1858.
The Bois is similar to Chicago's Forest Preserves (which run from downtown Chicago 36 miles west into the suburbs, ending at the summer home of the Orchestra, Ravinia). Much of it is forest land (bois means wood) and remains wild (King Dagobert hunted bear and deer in the forest that became the park). When the Bois was finally completed, it contained an English landscape garden with a cascade, a zoo, an amusement park, two horse racing tracks, a complex of greenhouses with over 200,000 plants, and a tennis court still used today for national opens.
The idea both cities wagered was that by salting their city with parks both vast and small, they would offer their citizens a constant reminder of nature, improve property values, and invoke a pastoral state of mind, perhaps even preserving pedestrianism and parasols.
I haven't been to Paris. But I live in Chicago and I can tell you even the smallest park refreshes the mind's eye whether you are strolling down Damen or racing down Racine. A flurry of green, of depth, of life, relieves the monotony of brick and mortar.
Where You're Thinking About when you Think About Paris
When you're thinking about the three flats and terraced apartments where the great artists and writers hung out in the early 20th century, you're thinking about Place du Tertre. Picasso and Salvador Dali lived here. As did Modigliani, Monet, and Van Gogh. This is where modern art was born and this is where absinthe flowed like a verdant hallucinogenic river through everybody.
Perhaps I should be fair and zoom out. Place du Tertre was the center of Montmartre, the hill of the 18th arrondissement on whose sides all these insane artists and writers and poets and captains of industry got their groove.
Throughout Paris, there are bistros and cafes offering good French food at reasonable prices. These are neighborhood places, run a by a guy who loves to feed his neighbors and his friends. He'll keep a table free even when it's busy in case someone he knows shows up hungry. He'll stand out on the sidewalk while the joint is weeded and smoke cigarettes with his neighbors and tell jokes. The postman will leave a package at the bar for someone who isn't home. These are great places, the heart of Montrematre, and the point Price is making in bringing all this working man's landscape into the picture is to contrast all the picturesque down-and-outedness of the seedy underbelly of the Paris of our dreams with its fraternal twin, a stones throw from Champs de Elyses, across the street from the palais, and a short walk to the Seine, the gold-plated cut-velvet opulence of restaurant Lasserre.
How Francos al Fresco Beneath Starlight and Doves at Lasserre
There are two distinct qualities of Lasserre not associated with their menu, for which the restaurant is revered: the retractable roof, and the doves.
There are only a handful of restaurants with retractable roofs:
The Godfrey in Chicago has a rooftop terrace with a removable glass ceiling. In the winter, it offers a chilling, though warm, view of the city.
Istanbul's Nopa features vertical gardens and a glass roof of retractable glass panels that fold into each other like a futuristic convertible.
The Salinas in New York's Chelsea district hand cranks their roof open in the summer, an arduous task I am certain falls to the newest busboy.
Union Rooftop, Minneapolis's James beard nominated rooftop bistro offers a glass enclosure that folds like an accordion.
Selfridges offers an unusual take with their "On the Roof With" series of annually rotating restaurants located on their roof which protects diners with glass panels that slide open to let in the London fog.
Lasserre's roof opens to allow a narrow view of the stars. I have heard some reports the view is amazing, but I can't see how that is possible, since there doesn't appear to be any access to the open roof. I assume the people making those reports had consumed waaaay too much absinthe and merely floated roofwise for a peek.
In its past, Lasserre would open the roof and release snow white doves into the restaurant (after service) which, according to Price, was less preferred than just seeing their image emblazoned on everything from the menu to the carpet. I suppose getting a little dove in your coffee would be less than palatable. Maybe that's why the doves, today, are in the lobby, not flying around like it's a Goddam Nicholas Cage movie.
Lasserre is pricey. Their roasted seabass with blonde morels and buckwheat is $168.00. That's for that dish, not a week on the beach. Much better to go for the paired tasting menu at only $283 bucks. A fucking bargain. But you'll be dining among the elite, people who rarely dine shoulder to shoulder with the truck drivers and the butchers of Montrematre. More likely people who rub shoulders with movie stars and banking magnates. A who's who includes Jennifer Lopez and whoever else has ever been there because once I say Jay Lo why even bother?
It also once included Vincent and Mary Price so if you visit this gilded gastronomic altar, raise a glass.

Supporting our Students
The academic environment of the W.M. Keck Science Department, although rigorous and challenging, is overwhelmingly positive and supportive. Post-Bac students enjoy personalized guidance from both faculty and staff to select courses and assess their performance and progress. Group tutoring on evenings or weekends is a popular feature of the program, and Post-Bac and undergraduate students often work together in small study groups. Math review sessions are offered every fall and students may also use the resources at the Math Spot tutoring center throughout the academic year.
Staff and faculty assist students in researching volunteer opportunities, consult with them on their letters of recommendation, and provide advising for medical school applications and career preparation. Valuable time is spent sharing information about application procedures and the medical school application process. We also sponsor talks by medical professionals and recent graduates of the Post-Bac Program who can advise students preparing for interviews and the application process. Upon completion of the program, students benefit tremendously from a detailed committee letter of recommendation written by our faculty advisor. If students do not link with a medical school, our staff continues to advise and support them with the application process after graduation.
"Because I had both support and a challenge to succeed, I feel like I was able to develop into a student of the highest caliber and one who embraces a scholastic challenge from start to finish."
Justin Stull, Class of 2010
Jefferson Medical College, Candidate for Doctor of Medicine (MD) (2012-2016)

Well what can I say about myself? Well firstly I love God. That pretty much says it all. Like alot of people on this site I've been very blessed by all the wonderful things that God has done for me. He has brought me out of darkness and into this marvolous light and made me one of his own. So for this I praise and adore him.
