This fifty-fifth installment continues our series on HeinOnline's digital collections.
HeinOnline's database "U.S. Attorney General & Department of Justice Collection" is a resource that contains information, including government documents, Commission reports, hearing transcripts, and other various materials generated by or pertaining to the operation of the Attorney General's office and the Department of Justice, as well as other Federal. There are items from as far back as the 1860's, including the department's "Opinion on the Constitutional Power of the Military to Try and Execute Assassins of the President," from 1865; and "Opinions of the Confederate Attorneys General," from 1861-1865. There are a number of items from the 1960's and 1970's, and only a few from more recent years. There are a number of transcripts of confirmation hearings of past attorney general nominees. The sources are listed in alphabetical order; it would be more logical to arrange them in chronological order. The volumes can be searched by citation, or by keywords.

Dry skin needs special care and the Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin system provides a means of protection, healing and restoration. Dry skin requires hydration, sometimes desperately, but it can't be force-fed moisture; it has to achieve its proper level naturally. Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin supplies skin with the elements it needs to achieve this goal. The key is safflower oil, pressed from the seeds of this desert plant related to the sunflower. Used for thousands of years by ancient Egyptian, Greek and Chinese herbalists as a healing lotion, it is a crucial element of Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin, providing a means regaining the proper balance of moisture without clogging pores or irritating follicles.
Other carefully selected ingredients in the Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin line include shea butter, royal jelly and honey (mel) extract, azulene, hazel nut oil and beta-carotene as well as other extracts to help achieve a proper balance of moisture in your skin. The entire suite of the Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin series works in concert to allow the cleansing creams, emollients, anti-oxidants and vitamins to bring your skin to a healthy glow.
Carefully designed as a series of steps, the Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin system brings the important ingredients your skin needs to achieve vitality.
The first step is to cleanse and begin to repair your skin with Pevonia Dry Skin Cleanser. Applied morning and evening to the face and neck, it is worked into the skin with fingertips, and then removed with a cloth or sponge and warm water. This lifts off impurities that had been overlaying your skin without leaving a residue behind.
Two or three times a week, you may choose to use Pevonia Dry Skin Mask, to provide a concentrated treatment for dry skin. The beta-carotene, necessary for the growth of skin cells and other body tissues, protects cell membranes and acts as a powerful anti-oxidant. Following with alcohol-free Pevonia Dry Skin Lotion, the aloe leaf and chamomile flower extracts gently offer moisture to your skin, while the sage oil and lavender flower extract provide a soothing, but subtle, scent.
The Pevonia Rejuvenation Dry Skin Cream has a base of the vital safflower seed oil, which is similar to the natural lipid components in human skin. Along with aloe leaf gel and squalane, a natural component required by human skin tissue, the complexion is rejuvenated and hydrated. Used in conjunction with it, Pevonia Vitaminic Concentrate contains tocopherol, a natural source of vitamin E. This is an important part of dry skin treatment, reducing transepidermal water loss and strengthening the skin's barrier function. The result is soft, balanced and hydrated skin.

A look into the performance of BSE Sensex companies since 2008 reveals that IT, Pharma, FMCG and auto sectors have generated substantial returns irrespective of the economic growth of the country, while some have always been losers - Tata Motors, Sun Pharmaceuticals Industries and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) shares are amongst the winners
The growth in gross domestic product (GDP) for the quarter ended June 2013 hit a four-year-low of 4.4 per cent. This was much lower than market expectations and also in sharp contrast to the growth rate of 9.3 per cent that the economy registered just two years ago in 2010-11.
On the back of a strong economic growth, net inflows from Foreign Institutional Investors (FII) was Rs 133,266 crore during the calendar 2010 and sentiment was on a high, the year saw BSE Sensex closing at an all-time high of 21,005 at the Muhurat trading on November 5, 2010.
Contrary to the situation in 2010-11, the economy is now witnessing a slowdown. Indian rupee is trading at much depreciated level of 65 to the US dollar, net FII inflow for the calendar at Rs 61,051 crore (as on September 6) and sentiments in the equity market are on a low. But even in the two contrasting environments there are sectors which have performed consistently on the stock market front.
In 2010, companies in the IT, pharma, FMCG, banking and auto sectors did well at the stock exchanges whereas those in the power, metal, capital goods and oil and gas sector trailed in performance. The situation is not different now, and companies in the same sectors continue to drive the market even as the economic fundamentals and environment are significantly different than they were in 2010 with the exception of banking that is reeling under currency pressure.
In the calendar 2010, among the Sensex companies, Tata Motors rose by 89 per cent while Sun Pharma and TCS were up by 61 and 55 per cent respectively. However, in the same period Sesa Goa and NTPC were down by 16 and 15 per cent respectively. Even Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL), Tata Power and Reliance Industries (RIL) generated negative returns.
For the calendar 2013, among the Sensex companies, TCS, Sun Pharma,

7 Summer Vacation Road Safety Tips – The Garage Plan Shop
Summer is finally here! Changes are you just might be taking a road trip this summer. Whether you are heading to the beach the mountains or Grandma's house somewhere in between it is important to practice safe driving and travel habits. The Garage Plan Shop recommends following this helpful tips from a traffic safety researcher.
1. Get your car in shape – Before you set out on your road trip, make sure your car is in tip-top shape. Have your oil changed, check your tire pressure and make sure your radiator is working.
2. Map your route – Map your route before you leave. Know which highways and roads you'll be taking. Check traffic websites and other sites like Google Maps to help you plan your route and navigate construction zones. If your road trip is going to take more than a day's travel time, check travel websites and book hotel rooms along your route. Don't forget to pack your maps and any hotel confirmation numbers.
3. Know the safe times to travel – Studies show roadways are most dangerous late and night and early in the morning when drivers are more likely to be intoxicated or tired. Plan to depart around 7:00 AM and arrive at your hotel or destination no later than 10:00 PM.
4. Plan for kids and pets – If you'll be brining your kids or your pets on your road trip, it takes a little extra planning. Pack a cooler with snack and drinks for the little ones. Also bring card games, books, handheld games, favorite music CDs, books on CD or a few small toys to entertain the kids. Plan on playing travel games in the car to pass the time. Do not for get to bring food and water for your pets.
5. Plan to take breaks – Plan to pull over every 2-3 hours to stretch your legs, give your eyes a quick break and recharge. Take a restroom break. Let the kids run around for a couple minutes and walk the dog. Everyone will feel better about getting back in the car again. If you are traveling with another driver, take turns driving in shifts so no one experiences fatigue.
6. Do not drink – It is illegal and it is not safe to drink and drive. Research indicates just one alcoholic drink may cause important changes in cognition affecting your ability to drive and make good judgments. Avoid any alcoholic drinks while your road trip is in progress. Wait until you get to the beach or the mountains and enjoy your favorite adult drink with dinner.
7. Wake up or catch up on sleep – According to statistics, in 2009 over 100,000 car crashes resulted due to drowsy driving. If you are driving in shifts with another driver, take a nap while the other person is behind the wheel. If not, pull over in a safe well-lit place and take a quick power nap. Better yet, plan to check into your hotel early in the evening so you can go to bed early and be refreshed for the next day's drive.
We all look forward to summer vacations and perhaps road trips make for the best memories. Take these precautions to make sure this summer's road trip is safe and memorable.

New Secretary of Interior Could Be Good News For Climbers
The Secretary of the Interior is in charge of the BLM, National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the USGS and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and can have a direct influence on climbing regulations, including fees and permits, and in some instances whether climbing is allowed at all. An outdoor's enthusiast and climber who scaled Mt. Vinson in the Antarctia last year, Jewell could bode well for climbing. "Her love of the outdoors and integrity shine through in everything she does," says Nancy Bouchard, of Five Ten, who had done Ranier and climbed at Smith Rocks with the nominee.
Jewell, a former banker and petroleum engineer, became COO of REI in 2000 and CEO in 2005. The multi-billion dollar company was founded in Seattle in 1938, and set up as a coop so climbers and campers would purchase affordable gear. Jim Whittaker, the first American to climb Everest, was REI's first full time employee, hired as the CEO in the 1960s.
Jewell's qualifications make her a "great choice for Interior Secretary," says Robinson, who add that although Salazar will be missed by the outdoor community, "Being on a first name basis with the [new] Secretary of the Interior would be a great thing for climbers."

ANNANDALE, Va. – Police identified the man who died in a head-on crash with a Fairfax County police cruiser as Cicero I. Limberea, 40.
Limberea, of no fixed address, died around 12:30 a.m. Thursday. Police say he was speeding the wrong way on Little River Turnpike on the Interstate 495 overpass when he struck a police cruiser. The 28-year-old officer was responding to police reports about a speeding SUV, police say.
"A vehicle was apparently traveling eastbound in the westbound lane for possibly several miles, coming from Fairfax City toward the Beltway," Fairfax County Police spokeswoman Lucy Caldwell tells WTOP.
"One of our officers was traveling, correctly, in the westbound lane, coming toward the situation and he was struck head-on."
The fatal accident and police investigation closed Little River Turnpike between the Capital Beltway and Northern Virginia Community College for nearly six hours. Ramps to the Beltway also closed.
The officer from the Mason Police District is in Inova Fairfax Hospital in stable condition. Police say the crash trapped him in his cruiser and he had to be cut out of the car.
Police say they first encountered Limberea when they responded to a domestic call in the 4800 block of Tapestry Drive.
After an officer approached him and spoke with him, Limberea left and was then seen speeding down Roberts Road and turning into oncoming traffic on Little River Turnpike, a news release says.
"The individual almost struck several vehicles. Police want to hear from people in those near-misses," Caldwell tells WTOP.
It's too early in the investigation to tell whether alcohol was a factor, she says.
Anyone who saw Limberea traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of Little River Turnpike is asked to call Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477. Information can be emailed to Crime Solvers. Police say people with information may text "TIP187″ plus their message to CRIMES/274637 or call police at 703-691-2131.
Both directions of Little River Turnpike at the Capital Beltway were closed for nearly six hours as police investigated the head-on crash. (WTOP/Kristi King)

We've waited forever but the day may finally be here! Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may have finally set their wedding date! I hear that they're planning on getting married this fall or next spring at their home in the South of France, Chateau Miraval. They want to have a quiet celebration of their love and future. So quiet, that there's not going to be more than 22 people attending and they all are close family! Their home is a family project and they originally planned on exchanging their vows earlier, but problems with construction and renovations at the home have made them delay the wedding. But 22 people! Guess I won't be getting an invite!
With the cast shakeup that's been going on around The View, there's been a lot of rumors and a lot of controversy. Well, everyone wants it to stop! First things first, it's official! Rosie O'Donnell is confirmed to return to the show! The View tweeted the news from their Twitter account. She will be co-hosting with Whoopi Goldberg! But Whoopi Goldberg has had enough of everyone voicing their opinions and the fighting. So she had this to say:
Congratulations to Jimmy Kimmel! He and his wife Molly McNearney welcomed their BABY GIRL into the world yesterday! Jimmy Kimmel even congratulated his wife for being SO tough! He tweeted, "Congratulations to my beautiful and vey tough wife on delivering our baby girl this morning." All while she tweeted, "Kids, don't do drugs. Until you have a baby. Then do ALL OF THEM!" Ha! Sounds like it wasn't a very easy birth!
And someone is showing sympathy for Shia LaBeouf and his downward spiral this morning! He has a friend in Mel Gibson, who said,"When I see someone like Shia LaBeouf with the bag on his head and stuff, my heart goes out to the poor guy. I think he's suffering in some way. Or why would he do that? People are inclined to sort of point the finger at him and say like, well, he's this, that, or the other. It's easy to judge. But I'm sure he's going through some kind of personal, very painful, cathartic thing that he has to exercise and get out there." After getting arrested just weeks ago and reportedly seeking treatment for addiction, Mel Gibson thinks that Shia LaBeouf will be A-OK! Remember, Mel Gibson knows what it's like to be a struggling star! He even reached out to Britney Spears when she had her crazy phase! Maybe he'll do the same with Shia LaBeouf!
Jessica Simpson might have married her fiancé over the weekend and it looked AMAZING… but apparently it came with a LOT of drama! Jessica Simpson's recently divorced parents, Tina and Joe Simpson, came loaded with tension and arguments. Jessica Simpson's mother was angry that she chose her father to organize the three-day event, which included a Fourth of July party and a Sunday brunch. Jessica Simpson warned her parents that they had to get along and not embarrass her. Apparently it didn't work! This is her day! Why ruin it? SELFISH!
Is Ryan Gosling going to stop making movies now that he's having a baby? Well, someone dug up a quote from Ryan Gosling from 2011 in where he said that he's only making movies until he starts having children. Here's the quote, ""I'd like to be making babies but I'm not, so I'm making movies. When someone comes along, I don't think I'll be able to do both and I'm fine with that. I'll make movies until I make babies." So he had baby on the brain for 4 years! I hope this doesn't mean that I won't see him shirtless ever again. I'll just die!
How does Justin Bieber cure a hangover? All you have to do is go to his Instagram for the answer! Justin Bieber took a sexy bathtub selfie and posted it! He's soaking in a bathtub and captioned the picture by saying, "tubs cure #hangovers." Yeah, I'm sure that's why you took that picture!

In this post, I shall try to have a closer look at some of the important questions pertaining to interoperability: what do we mean by mobile money interoperability, what are the arguments for and against interoperability, and what practical steps can be taken to achieve it?
The mobile money industry has witnessed a remarkable activity in the recent years. There are more than 165 pilots in the mobile money segment in emerging economies, mostly being run by MNOs, banks and other financial institutions. It is now possible to find two or more deployments in many Sub-Saharan African and South Asian countries. Yet, only a very few of these deployments have been able to achieve significant scale. In a recent survey of 52 mobile money service providers, the GSM (Groupe Spéciale Mobile) Association identified 11 service providers that have more than 1 million registered customers. This has led many to make a case for implementation of interoperability in mobile money ecosystems so that customers are more inclined to use mobile money and the deployments can achieve scale by increased customer adoption. Let's try to explore this important concept further.
Defining mobile money interoperability: Interoperability occurs if different systems are technically able to work together. For mobile money, interoperability can happen between handsets, networks, financial processes and retail processes etc. The Consultative Group to Assist the Poor. (CGAP) has proposed a framework that categorizes interoperability in three levels: platform, customer, and agent levels.
- Platform level interoperability – It permits customers of provider A to make payments to customers of provider B. They may also transact via any mobile network operator channel and switch operators without having to switch banks. For example, M-PESA allows consumers to send money to any phone. In South Africa, MTN offers subscribers not only MTN Banking's application but also access to their First National Bank, ABSA, Standard Bank and NedBank accounts. WIZZIT works across all mobile networks in South Africa.
- Agent level interoperability - It permits agents of one mobile money service to also serve customers of another service, in other words, agents having non-exclusive partnership with operators.
- Customer level interoperability - It permits the customers to access different mobile money operators from one SIM. Also, it permits the customers to access mobile money account from same handset, regardless of SIM
The debate around interoperability: Market participants and regulators have not reached a consensus about the need and benefits of interoperability. Some regulators believe that interoperability is the way to go as the market matures and operators try to scale up. For example, governments of Ghana and India have mandated interoperability in their countries. Some regulators have taken a neutral position and have allowed market forces to decide the course. The Bank of Zambia prefers, but has not mandated, that mobile money solutions be interoperable. It is encouraging interoperability through the development of a national switch. Others feel that interoperability will erode the competitive advantage of market leaders and its implementation may not result in sufficient addition in subscribers to justify the investment required. For example, a report by GSM (Groupe Spéciale Mobile) Association suggests that the business case for implementing interoperability is unlikely to justify the initial investments of implementing it.
How to achieve interoperability: Though industry leaders seem to agree that interoperability is a key issue, they have different views on how it can be achieved. There are two broad approaches to achieving interoperability:
- Standards – In global mobile telecommunications industry, Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) has played a key role in setting up the standards and allowing the users to roam freely across various markets. Another example of common standards aiding the development of industry relates to SMS, where standard development in Europe led to a huge growth in SMS usage. Mobile money industry is still in its early stages and has not agreed to a set of common standards across all the elements described above. I believe it is unrealistic to take an entirely standards-based approach to interoperability. Standards are consensus based and take a long time to develop. Since a number of standards exist, it is unclear whether common standards can also impede the fast growth of mobile money industry; some of the players would have to wait before launching their services and many might have to migrate to common standards with significant costs and time. As the industry develops, a flexible approach based on experimentation would be needed. It will take time but governments & industry players should do what they can to monitor & promote standards,without holding back growth.
- Bilateral Agreements – Bilateral agreements, both commercial and technical, have become quite common. To develop compelling product offerings and to scale up, the market participants are experimenting with various business models and forging partnerships with other MNOs and financial institutions. For example, MasterCard and Telefonica announced a joint venture using the MasterCard Mobile Payments Gateway to lead the development of mobile financial solutions in 12 countries within Latin America where Telefonica's Movistar® brand is present.
With respect to the timing and extent of interoperability, maybe the real answer lies somewhere in between. The timing and extent of interoperability needs to be specific to the state of market and needs to be continuously assessed. A report by Mobile Money for the Unbanked (MMU), suggests some valuable recommendations:
- Regulators should carefully consider the costs and benefits of implementing interoperability at an early stage of market development.
- Even when the enabling regulatory framework is in place, market should be monitored on a continuous basis to assess the need of further intervention.
- In the absence of interoperability regulations, monopolies and competition should be assessed periodically.
- Regulations should focus on ensuring that interoperability remains feasible at low cost to provide appropriate incentive to service providers and benefit users.

Dr. Antony Ham Pong, an Ottawa allergist and clinical researcher, estimates that up to 10 per cent of the general population has oral allergy syndrome. That means the condition affects more people than milk allergy, peanut allergy or shellfish allergy.
OAS is a condition that's linked to hay fever, which affects a third of the population, so it's not wonder that so many people are also affected by OAS.

Zoom (2006)
Zoom Synopsis
Social outcast Summer Jones (Mara) is ushered away by her mysterious father (Allen) to a new school. She learns that her dad is secretly a superhero, and she's been brought to the academy where she, along with other kids, can develop her special talents. Soon into her training, Summer discovers that an enemy of the academy is plotting against the school ... and her.
I havent seen it yet, but odds are this movie was a lot better the first time when it was called Sky High. Zoom will need all the Ron Wilson: Bus Driver it can beg, borrow, or steal from its superhero high school predecessor to lift itself beyond the direct to video direction it seems to be leaning to. Unfortunately, I doubt the kids of Sky High are likely to give them a Ron Wilson loaner.
Tim Allen is no Kurt Russell and Zoom is a retread of an idea that wasnt all that fresh the first three or four times someone did it. Its been made to work in the past, but can Zoom squeeze more content out of the superhero school concept yet again? At least this isnt another Santa Clause sequel from Tim.
Oh damn, thats happening too.
What the heck happened to Galaxy Quest 2?
I really like Tim Allen, and I root consistently for the guy to succeed. But his recent work hasnt exactly been well great. In fact, it hasnt been great at all. In Galaxy Quest he found the perfect vehicle, but so far hes avoided revisiting it in favor of redoing the work of others or redoing himself with an unending string of boorish Santa Clause follow-ups. Hes better than that but maybe now its gone too far and hes too late in his career to show it, unless theres a lot more to Zoom than meets the eye.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say four children have died in a fire that swept through a mobile home in Hartsville.
A spokesman for the city, Russell Cox, said firefighters found the bodies Wednesday afternoon after taking about 10 minutes to put out the blaze.
A county official says the children are all brothers and sisters: a three-year-old boy, a 4-year-old boy, and twin girls, age one.
A photograph taken by the Darlington County sheriff showed the charred interior of the mobile home while the outside appeared to be relatively undamaged. A tricycle and another children's toy could be seen in the yard.
Investigators have just begun to look through the home's charred interior and had no immediate report on a possible cause.

Wow really? You are totally not a whiteknight and totally criticize Blizzard all the time and totally endorse criticism but only the real rational and constructive one. Never heard this line before from someone trying to derail and disturb any discussions and idea implying WoW and Blizzard is not perfect and every error is anyones but Blizzards fault and deny and belittle anything critical for no reason.
I don't think we need to merge servers, some people like to play on low pop servers and they can stay there and enjoy their time. Some people want a higher pop server and that's fine too you can just xfer to an already established high pop server.
I have several toons on low pop servers that I enjoy and I have my main on Arthas, a pretty good size server. I get the best of both worlds, well that is until they added cross realm zones >.>

Hit the nail on the head about paying. In Korea players would scoff at paying $25+ per character to switch realms so the merges are needed there. In the US/EU Blizzard is effectively forcing reverse-merges, by leaving low-pop realms so unplayable that players break down and shell out the money to move themselves. If you browse around different realms it's very clear that has been happening on a large scale little by little. Realms that were low to mid pop realms seem like ghost towns in a lot of cases, and larger realms are now completely packed. That's because CRZ may help slightly, but it doesn't help for many important things forming/recruiting guilds, maintaining realm economies, or progression raiding. So players and entire guilds get tired of those things and either quit wow or shell out tons of money to move their characters to higher pop servers. That's lead to an indirect consolidation to high pop realms. I'm guessing that eventually when Blizzard thinks they've squeezed all they can out of the desolate lowest pop realms they will start to merge those, but that will be a last resort.
While translating the player comments in that post, I noticed almost no one had a negative comment about it. Seems like 95% of people commenting approved of the merge. Don't see why it would be different in US or EU realms.
I also noticed that on a KR realm you can have spaces in your name!!!!!!!111 :O WTB. (Or then it was just google translate playing tricks) Would solve a lot of naming issues though, especially if you have to rename your toon after a merge.
By the way, is there CRZ on KR realms?

My gold making blog
Your journey towards the gold cap!
I wonder how this would work if you were character capped on two of the realms that were being merged. For example, I have 11 level 90s on 2 different Oceanic servers. If a merge like this happened here it is likely that all 12 Oceanic servers would be put into 1 or 2 servers. Would they allow more than 11 toons per server?
It's great that they are merging servers on KR realms. They need to do the same in the US/EU. There's an actual simple reason why:There are too many servers from when the game was still growing. It happened with blizzard and it happens to all companies. You grow and grow, hire people left and right to keep up with the growth. But once the growth stops you end up with way more people than you actually need. So you have to prune the excess to stay efficient and reduce bloat. It's the same story with the servers, there's too much bloat and it needs to be pruned.
I have been chosen by the big metal hand in the sky!
At the same time, if a long time, well known, player like Landsoul can deal with having to rename his toon to LandsoulX, because a level 1 has that name on Illidan, surely you can suffer a extra character as well.

In short, people started flocking to high populated realms when before they were more evenly spread. That left more realms empty.
I'm not against realm merging, but I don't think it's badly needed either. Some hardcore free realm transfers should do the trick. I don't know if it's just me or not, but the last time I've seen an available free realm transfer at the login screen was 3 years ago. Is it just me or anyone else noticed this?
It's possible they are beta testing this so to speak in Korea since it's one of the smaller regions. They have double raid resets and things that haven't hit the US/EU servers yet.

How many people died? It's one of the first questions asked in a war or violent conflict, but it's one of the hardest to answer. In the chaos of war many deaths go unrecorded and all sides have an interest in distorting the figures. The best we can do is come up with estimates, but the trouble is that different statistical methods for doing this can produce vastly different results . So how do we know how different methods compare?

Plants are amazingly good at something that is still flummoxing us humans in our quest for sustainable energy sources: turning sunlight into energy in an efficient way. Around 100 bilions tons of biomass are produced annually through photosynthesis. The question is, how exacty do plants do it?

Yesterday's refusal by the UK government to posthumously pardon Alan Turing makes sad news for maths, computer science and the fight against discrimination. But even if symbolic gestures are, symbolically, being rebuffed, at least Turing's most important legacy — the scientific one — is going stronger than ever. An example is this week's announcement that scientists have devised a biological computer, based on an idea first described by Turing in the 1930s.

How does Olympic success correlate with a nation's GNP? How does the location of the Olympics affect the chance of record breaking? How can simple statistics help us understand the likelihood of winning streaks and the chance that an innocent athlete will fail a drugs test? What events should an ambitious nation target as the "easiest" in which to win Olympic medals. John D. Barrow will explore these question and more in a free public lecture at Gresham College in London tomorrow, 17th January 2012.

In the corner of the garden between the Centre of Mathematical Sciences and the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, sits a reminder of our ongoing quest to understand gravity: an apple tree that was taken as a cutting from the tree at Newton's birthplace, the tree that is said to have inspired his theory of gravity. Newton's theory was extended to the cosmological scales by Einstein's theory of general relativity – but can supergravity explain how gravity works in the quantum world?

text: Coal Chamber's guitarist Meegs is currently in the studio finishing the final guitar tracks for the band's upcoming Dark Days release. Speaking of the studio, we just got our hands on a pic taken at Rumbo, where Coal Chamber is recording. Just one pic, no faces, but it will give you some sort of visual stimulus for the project...very cool pic actually...check it out HERE. Back to Meegs, in between sessions over the past couple days, he took time to answer the questions you have been sending in. We do recommend reading them thoroughly, his answers are detailed, truthful, and very genuine. Thanks to Meegs for the answers, thanks to you for the questions. 1 - Has Meegs gone back to a heavier guitar tone for "dark days" or has he continued to experiment with tone and volume, like on "chamber music"? Also, can't wait to hear the new record, no matter what direction you guys have taken! -Jason G Meegs - thanks for the enthusiasm and support Jason!!! as for the tone of the album, it will be a combination of both records. It will definitely be very heavy, I mean HEAVY. the experimentation and craziness in the sonic dept. is just plain sick!!! I spent a lot of time on this album to record all the noises and tones that I hear in my head all the time. the guitar chug is very bottom heavy and the abuse of effect pedals and technology is very prominent. the vibe of the record is very angry and chaotic. I promise that it will be insanity of the highest level!!! 2 - Hey! I have two questions. The first is actually for Meegs: Will you marry me? Okay, but in all seriousness now, I saw you guys perform in Syracuse, NY at the Lost Horizon on June 15, 2000--I think Meegs actually got hurt :-( , but I just wanted to know if you're going to play any smaller, or at least small town, venues in upstate New York anytime soon, because I cannot wait to see you guys again and it seems that when bands come to New York they only go to NYC or Buffalo! :-( Don't forget the upstate fans in between! Love ya always, June D Meegs - June, my love, that is a very sweet thing to say!!! Believe me , you don't want to marry me, I ain't no walk in the park!!! As of touring smaller venues, that will be a very good possibility when we tour beginning of the new year. We must finish "Dark Days" first and then tour plans will be talked about amongst the band and management. In the meanwhile, a little patience doesn't kill anybody, we promise it will be worth the wait!!!!!! Love you back, MEEGS 3 - what is the most memorable concert you have played and why? piece..............not peace -Xplicitlyryx Meegs - I think the most memorable one was in France. The crowd was so fucking insane that it actually made me tear up while we were playing. and that never happens to me!!! It was about 5 000 kids jumping up and down in unison. It was a beautiful sight! 4 - I have always considered Coal Chamber as an innovative and unique metal band. Many spin-offs have spawned since your first album that are reflective of your style. Before the ever expanding labeled genre of "Nu-metal" was a house hold name, Coal Chamber was shaking and changing the music scene. Where do you see the future of Coal Chamber with Dark Days? Will it be a intentional progressive change from what we have seen in the past or, will it be more of a continuation from your previous material? -Brandon J Meegs - thanks for the compliments Brandon, you're too kind!!!! This album will be both a continuation and a progressive change of our previous stuff. It will continue to be as heavy, if not heavier, than our first record. But it will be a big onslaught of sonic mayhem and experimentation that we started on the 2nd album, except 100 times more brutal and angry as fuck!! Dez's vocals are plain scary!! the guitars are super thick and the bass and drums feel like a steamroller!!! the sounds on this record are very intense, for sure!!! the songwriting is very , very , intense because the band as a whole was going through a very difficult time in our lives. and it shows in the material. the tension, frustrations, disappointment, and anger are definitely prevalent on the disc!! 5 - what is your favorite song on the new album and why? -Marlon S Meegs - my favorite as of now is probably "Drove". It is one fucking heavy ass song!!! It starts out chaotic and ends that way. the guitar textures and noises are very quirky and experimental. It's a very "coal chamber" type of groove. the tones, vocals, and production are beyond subsonic. Couldn't be more proud. 6 - Q:Coal Chamber reflects various amounts of strong messages and feelings on each of their records, and i was just wondering: What did the band try to project on this new record and how it is influenced by the lives you choose to live by today? -ILIARYS Meegs - the overall tone and theme of this album is very dark and angry. It definitely reflected on these 2 past years of the bands career. Very turbulent. We've all pulled through though, and wrote the most heaviest and intense material we've ever done!! This album was a very cathartic and psychotherapeutic experience for the whole band. As we wrote this material from our hearts, this record definitely reflects what we were feeling at the time. Kind of like "the Shining" meets "Halloween" 7 - Hey, I first must say that Coal Chamber is a true to themselves band. And the music, it speaks for itself as meegs has said. I was wondering, since you guys have had a longer break, two albums under your wings, and numbers of good shows, has that changed your writing styles? Thanks for your time to answer my question. -Josh from california Meegs - our writing style has become unchanged. Just because we always write what we honestly feel and we never try to write a "Hit". We always try to write catchy, Heavy, simple and brutal grooves. I like to call them "caveman" grooves. 8 - if "coal chamber " is a heavy metal cd, and "chamber music" is considered gothic sounding, what exactly would you classify dark days as being? -Scott S Meegs - Dark Days would probably be considered New age easy listening with a touch of N' Sync and 98 degrees flavorings!!!! with a hint of disco. Honestly, i hate categories. Music is music. whether you think it sucks or not is a matter of opinion. Call us "spookycore". 9 - what kind of guitar does meegs play? Meegs - I play both B.C Rich guitars and Yamaha customs. I love and endorse both companies. Basically , my guitars are made to benefit the Drop 6 tuning that I have abused to death. and will continue to do so in the future. 10 - What are the extremities as far as emotional feelings on the new album? -Elliot Meegs - there's a tension on this record that is unsettling. A lot of lashing out at people kind of emotions. Anger, frustrations. A very dark and heavy record. Not a suicidal type of vibe, but more of a unleashing of a lot of internal and outside demons. 11 - on dark days, what song best describes what you've felt in the making of your 3rd Lp? -Ashley Meegs - It would probably be "Drove" the chorus lyric " Why did I do it, you drove me to do it" breakdown buildup lyric "NEVER, SAY NEVER!!!!!" 12 - hello coal chamber, how is the dark days album going to sound? is meegs still using his custom bc rich. and how did he come up with his 20 - 70 gauge guitar strings set his guitar. he is the only one i heard of that does that. i think that is awesome. -Moe Meegs - thank you very much Moe!!! I still use my B.C riches and I also use Yamaha Customs which utilize a lighter gauge strings, but still thick as fuck!!! the sound of "Dark Days" is brutal, experimental, and catchy. Chaotic sums it up. 13 - Hey Guys, I have been a fan since my friend from Cali sent me your demo tape about 5 years ago, i believe. Since I heard it you were automatically my favorite band. You have helped me through a lot, well your music and the way you treat your fans and what you say in your interviews. You have literally saved my life cause I put in your cd instead of killing myself 3 times. Going to your concerts makes me so happy, I have cried each time I've went cause I was so happy to be close to you. I consider myself a devout fan. I own every poster I can find, including imports, same with cd's and t-shirts. I also tell everyone I meet about you and how much I love your music. I know you have a fairly large fanbase and I know there are many other fans out there like me. What is your reaction to the way the fans respond to you and your music???? I love you!!! Keep making wonderful music! Love, Jenny M Meegs - Jenny, you are the reason we write music. We can't thank you enough for the support and love you give us. We're so grateful and we appreciate our fans so much because they've helped us realize our dreams come true. We truly love and sincerely cherish the way fans react to us. Without you guys, we're nothing!!! If our music helps kids out with their problems, then we feel very ecstatic because we worship our fans and the way they treat us. Thank you guys a million, once again!!! 14 - first of all, Come the fuck back to tulsa (redneckville). You guys are one of my favorite bands of all times. I bought the first cd without even hearing you guys, and was totally blown away. I bought Chamber Music, and I was just fucking shocked on how much you guys grew, it kicked some fuckin ass, its still in my cd player to this day. And in rotation everyday. Just wanted to know what are some of your favorite bands? And who did you listen to growing up? Peace John Meegs - Hey, thanks for the support and positivity!!! I'm sure that we will tour through Tulsa very soon!!! Patience!! Some of my favorite bands right now are Britney Spears, N sync, Linkin Park, Alec Empire, Radiohead, the Backstreet Boys, Aphex Twin, Prodigy, Mudvayne, Slipknot, John Tesh. When i was younger, i was obsessed with Motley Crue "Shout At The Devil", Alice in Chains, Skid Row, Bon Jovi, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Michael Jackson. I was a typical metal head. 15 - what are your favorite movies? -sickness87 Meegs - My favorite movies are of the XXX rated selection. Any Jenna Jameson movie would suffice.

Schwalbe Big Betty Tire - Freeride $0.00
There are those among us who live for rough terrain, but pedal to earn their runs. If that sounds like you, Schwalbe had you in mind when designing the Big Betty Tubeless Tire. With an aggressive knob design and a reinforced tubeless casing, you get all of the security that you need on the way down, without needing a chairlift for the ride back up.
The distinctive tread pattern is part of what sets the Big Betty apart. The centerline of the tire features three types of alternating blocks. The majority of them are broad for excellent braking traction. And between each row of these paddle-shaped knobs are alternating square blocks for grip in loose terrain, and longer blocks for a blend grip when you're rolling fast. This combination of knob profiles provides a blend of low rolling-resistance, powerful braking control, and strong grip in loose dirt. The side knobs are aggressive and angled to provide maximum grip when your bike is leaned over into turns. So, you're able to push these tires surprisingly hard while still maintaining a controlled composure.
The tread pattern deserves much of the credit for the control provided by the Big Betty, but it wouldn't be possible without Schwalbe's PaceStar triple compound. Essentially, PaceStar means that the knobs in the center of the tire are harder than those found on the side knobs. And, not only does the harder center compound allow the Big Betty to roll surprisingly fast, but it also improves the durability as well. And since cornering traction is of the utmost importance, the side knobs are built from a softer rubber, which maximizes grip when you're at the edge of control.
Schwalbe's tubeless casing is employed for the construction of the Big Betty. Like you probably guessed, this means that the bead hooks are enlarged in order to ease the process of seating these tires to tubeless compatible rims. But, the benefits of Schwalbe's tubeless casing make a difference whether you're running tubes or not. The enlarged bead hook also helps to keep the tire on the rim under hard cornering, which is especially important to those who prefer lower tire pressures. And speaking of low pressure, the reinforced casing provides added flat resistance, as well as extra support. So, you're able to run these tires soft enough to provide tons of grip without the fear of either pinch flats or rolling the tire off of the rim.
The Schwalbe Big Betty Tubeless Tire is available in a 26x2.4in size and in the color Black. Please note that this tire is sold individually, and it does not include either tubeless tape or sealant.

Associated Press Release
By SAM HANANEL
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal appeals court has ruled that President Barack Obama violated the Constitution when he bypassed the Senate to fill vacancies on a labor relations panel.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit says Obama did not have the power to make recess appointments last year to the National Labor Relations Board.
Obama claims he acted properly because the Senate was away for the holidays. But the court says the Senate technically stayed in session when lawmakers gaveled in and out every few days for so-called "pro forma" sessions.
GOP lawmakers used the tactic specifically to prevent Obama from using his recess power to fill vacancies in an agency they claimed was too pro-union.
The Obama administration is expected to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court.

I think the main reason that I really wanted one was because she bought my brother one, plus a few of my friends had Macs as well and I guess I just wanted to fit in with the crowd? That's what teenagers do right? But yes, basically I wanted a Mac! Demanded for might be a more appropriate word actually. I want to put something out though: I'm not a brat.

Several students at Ouachita Baptist University will present their original music compositions on Monday, April 21, at 7:30 p.m. in Mabee Fine Art Center's Francis McBeth Recital Hall. The event is free and open to the public.
The Composers Symposium, which has been part of the OBU music program for more than 50 years, offers students the opportunity to hear their musical works come to life. Different groups within the Division of Music, including choir members and instrumentalists, will perform the pieces created by their peers.
"As a senior, this year's symposium means a lot to me," said Kassie Coleman, a senior music composition major from Hot Springs, Ark. "This will be a great opportunity for my instrumentalists to perform for an audience.
"I have always appreciated the fact that OBU hosts a Composers Symposium," Coleman added, "as it gives students a chance to hear their works performed live—something which is not always easy to come by. It's also exciting to hear other students' works being performed and getting to know them a little better by listening to their music."
The event is open to students who have either enrolled in music composition courses or have been granted special permission from a composition instructor. These students work alongside a professor for two to four months in preparation for the event.
"For inexperienced students, much of the help provided by a composition instructor regards things such as planning the piece, instrument ranges, finding a balance between unity and variety and how to notate the music," said Dr. Patrick Houlihan, professor of music at OBU. "For those who have taken composition a few semesters, every student displays an increased level of musical maturity. They begin to notice things in scores that they never noticed before."
Coleman noted how the program has stretched her as a musician, saying, "Ouachita's composition program has changed me as a musician in every way. Composition is really a culmination of all the other musical subjects we study, and composing has helped me to synthesize what I've learned into a final and meaningful product. I feel so prepared for the world after college with all that this wonderful program has taught me."
For Tori Clark, a sophomore vocal music education major from Bonnerdale, Ark., composing began as an independent interest her freshman year. As she continued her education at Ouachita, she began to realize the potential of her work.
"As I started to learn more about music theory and began to think more critically of music, I became increasingly interested in exploring my own potential for creating it," Clark said. "It has been really awesome to be able to be in the rehearsal of my own piece! It's truly magical to write it and then be involved in the rehearsal process and performance of it."
In addition to Clark and Coleman, participating student composers include: Sean Jackson, a junior music composition major from Livingston, La., and Joel Rogier, a senior vocal performance major from Glen Carbon, Ill.

Ouachita Baptist University's Division of Music will present Caitlin Secrest in her senior voice recital Wednesday, April 23, at 8 p.m. The recital, which is free and open to the public, will be held in Mabee Fine Arts Center's McBeth Recital Hall.
"What excites me most about this recital is sharing the experience with my OBU and Arkadelphia families," said Secrest, an Arkadelphia native. "I have worked so very hard to progress in these past four years and I could not have done it without the support of my wonderful friends of past and present. I look forward to sharing inspiring music and moving the audience to remember what a blessing we have in music."
Secrest, a senior vocal performance major, is a sweetheart of Phi Mu Alpha international music fraternity. She is the student of both Dr. Glenda Secrest, professor of music, and Dr. Jon Secrest, professor of music and chair of the applied music department.
Following the theme "An Evening of Desire," Secrest said her selections are "packed full of life's most raw emotions and tell awesome stories about desire in its purest forms."
The pieces Secrest will perform include: Gaetano Donizetti's "O luce di quest'anima" from Linda di Chamounix; "Bucking Bronco," "Lift Me into Heaven Slowly" and "Billy the Kid" from Libby Larsen's Cowboy Songs; "Sole e amore" by Giacomo Puccini; "Amore marinaro" by Gaetano Donizetti; "Ideale" by Paolo Tosti; Jacques Offenbach's "Duo de la Mouche" from Orphée aux enfers; "Neue Liebe," "Auf Flügeln des Gesanges" and "Hexenlied" by Felix Mendelssohn; "Не пой, красавица!" by Sergei Rachmaninoff; Ambroise Thomas' "Pâle et blonde, dort sous l'eau profonde" from Hamlet; David Shire's "I Think I May Want to Remember Today" from Starting Here, Starting Now; and Marc Shaiman's "Let Me Be Your Star" from Smash.
Secrest will be accompanied by Phyllis Walker, OBU staff accompanist, on piano and assisted by tenor Chad Burris, a junior musical theatre major from Van Buren, Ark.
For more information, contact OBU's School of Fine Arts at (870) 245-5129.
The 100-voice Concert Choir of Ouachita Baptist University will present its spring concert on Thursday, April 24, at 7:30 p.m. in Mabee Fine Art Center's McBeth Recital Hall. The concert is free and open to the public.
Dr. Charles Wright, former dean of Ouachita's School of Fine Arts and professor emeritus of music, is conducting the Concert Choir by invitation of Dr. Gary Gerber, chair of OBU's Division of Music, while Dr. Gerber is on sabbatical. Dr. Wright, who spent 40 years on the Ouachita music faculty, has returned to campus after a decade of retirement and also serves in Ouachita's Office of Development.
"Never would I have anticipated having the privilege of returning to Ouachita to conduct the Concert Choir," said Wright. "It has been an exhilarating experience that I will never forget."
Concert Choir is open to all students on campus, offering students from all majors and interests the opportunity to be involved in the university's music program.
Abby Root, a freshman speech communication and theatre education double major from Arkadelphia, Ark., said she enjoys the diversity of students in Concert Choir. "It's a huge collaboration of people, where everyone has to pull their own weight," said Root. "I think it just really teaches you how to appreciate music and the art that music is. You learn to appreciate musicians and the work that they do."
The evening's performance will open with a series of pieces called "Te Deum," composed by Anton Bruckner. This work is a setting of the early Christian hymn text and includes five movements that serve as a personal reflection of Bruckner's profound yet simple faith.
Following this series will be "Rejoice in the Lamb" by Benjamin Britten, "Psalm 150" by Thomas Briccettii, "Song of Hope" by John Ness Beck and "O Magnum Mysterium" by James McCray. The concert will conclude with "Canticle of Praise," also by Beck and "My Eternal King" by Jane H. Marshall.
David Glaze, minister of music and worship arts at Trinity United Methodist Church in Little Rock and a Ouachita graduate, will accompany the performance as guest organist.
Also assisting the choir for a portion of the concert will be Glenda Aldridge, staff accompanist at Ouachita. Drew Ervin, a senior music and computer science major from Springdale, Ark., will also assist in the performance on timpani.
Soloists for the performance are David Stanley, instructor of music at Ouachita, and the following students:
Kassie Coleman, a senior music composition major from Hot Springs, Ark.; Meredith Martin, a senior choral music education major from Garland, Texas; Caitlin Secrest, a senior vocal performance major from Arkadelphia, Ark.; and Jillian Turner, a junior vocal performance and music double major from Fort Worth, Texas.
For more information, contact OBU's School of Fine Arts at (870) 245-5129.
Ouachita Baptist University will host David Hickernell's senior art exhibit, "OVER IT," in Mabee Fine Arts Center's Hammons Gallery from April 28 to May 10. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
The exhibit serves as a culmination of Hickernell's art studies during his time at Ouachita. A reception will be held April 29 at 5 p.m. in Hammons Gallery to give Hickernell the opportunity to interact with the public about his art and the creative process behind it.
"It's kind of a play on words," explained Hickernell, a studio art and mass communications double major from Crystal Lake, Ill., on how he chose the name for his exhibit. "It has a little bit to do with the way my paintings come together. There are a lot of layers of paint covering each other, so one layer with another over it."
Unique from other senior exhibits, Hickernell chose to display a singular body of work composed of large oil paintings. While every painting is similar, carefully examination reveals subtle distinctions among the various pieces.
"David's work is, above all, about looking. The process and the history of David and his art are important, but with this work what is emphasized is the relationship between viewer and artwork," said Donnie Copeland, assistant professor of visual arts and chair of OBU's Department of Visual Arts. "I think he asks that viewers take the time to investigate the paintings and find the little instances of subject matter – color and texture."
"You won't just be able to walk into the gallery and understand everything or take it in all at once," Hickernell said of the complex nature of this body of work. "It'll take some time spent in the gallery looking at all the work."
Regular gallery hours for the exhibit are 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, contact the School of Fine Arts at (870) 245-5129.

Simple is always best. My life is simpler without that side stand switch, & the jumper cable in the headlight wiring that prevents you controlling YOUR PROPERTY. (NUTS to DOT)
............. It appeared the crown had a high spot in it which caused the kill switch not to close and open properly at times. Thus, no electrical power.A little grinding with the Dremel Tool on the crown of the side stand took care of the problem.
...........I long for the days I could mount a horse, destroy a dragon and no one nagging about my health 'n safety.

Summer's Best Frozen Desserts
By law, a "light" scoop must sport half the fat or one-third less calories than its full fat counterpart. But "light" is a relative term since regular ice creams start out all across the board when it comes to fat and calories. So we set parameters for the kind of frozen assets that make a "light" scoop skinny enough for a nightly summer treat. Taste testing included national brands (no local dairies) like Breyers, Edy's/Dreyer's, Haagen Daz, Ben & Jerry's, Healthy Choice, and Blue Bunny. In our book, taste and nutrition are both high priority, so not every brand made the final cut. Here are our top picks.
Our scoop stats per ½ cup: 150 calories; 5 grams fat (3 grams saturated) and no partially hydrogenated oils; less than 4 teaspoons (17g) sugar

Students explore forest with DNRC
The Montana DNRC, in conjunction with the Society of American Foresters, reintroduced over 50 students from Potomac public school to the forest today.
Students took a field trip to a section of DNRC land to participate in a series of six workshops.
Station one introduced the kids to a forest service fire engine. Station two taught them how to navigate the wilderness using compasses. Station three allowed the children to be just that, children; they played with insects and learned about diseases.
The remaining stations were complete with a real live forester, logging equipment, and plant and tree identification.
It is Montana Forest Products Industry week, and the DNRC wanted to share a love of nature with tomorrow's generation.
"What we do is really important for the forest, and just to be able to take them out and get them tied to it," said DNRC Forest management planner Amy Helena.

"We have increased Internet classes, offered dual credit classes in the area high schools, changed class schedules to meet work schedules, and broadened our grant outreach," she said, referring to their efforts to reverse declining enrollment.
"A high school senior graduated last year with an associate's degree before receiving her high school diploma.
"Think of the cost savings for that family."
Her opponent for the Place 1 seat, Dee Dee Bernal, said she was reluctant to speak about specific events at the college, as she has not been privy to the documents and discussions that the current board has seen.
These two, along with the other candidates for the CBC board, were given a chance Monday to speak to voters during a Republican Club meeting. Each was given five minutes to talk on the issues. The audience of about 45 people—most of whom weren't club members but community members who came to hear the speeches—was allowed to ask one question.
However, when questioned about the number of faculty members leaving the college, Bernal spoke in general terms.
"Any time there is a global mass exodus, whether it is administration, students or staff, there has to be some underlying issues that are taking place," she said.
As an educator of 35 years and a principal at Jones High, she would be concerned if anything like the situation at CBC occurred under her leadership.
"Any time I would see that kind of exodus from my school, I would be concerned," Bernal said.
"My manner of handling it would be calling people in and talking.
"But I believe when we have people who are resigning just to resign, and they haven't had all of the years, it is either as a result of dissatisfaction with the organization or dissatisfaction with their job," she said.
Hall said that communication between the board and the college is the key to success.
"My main priority as your board member is to do what is best for the students and the college," Hall said. "Good communication between faculty and administration has always been my focus.
"We have faced serious funding problems in the past, and we continue to deal with those."
Most recently, this lack of funding has come from state cutbacks and changes to the funding structure, such as basing a portion of it on student performance.
"Remember, the capital cost of buildings and facilities rests with our local community," Hall said.
She was also questioned about her thoughts on whether or not the college president was fulfilling her role.
Specifically, one person highlighted the president's responsibility of "maintaining amity and unity of purpose among all members of the faculty and administration, noninstructional employees, the board, the alumni and the college constituency."
"I have been serving under five presidents," she said. "Every president has a different style of governance. Some like it. Some do not.
"I think it is the board's responsibility to listen to the community and the faculty to understand what may be our problems."
Both candidates agreed that they wanted to work to see the college prosper.
"CBC is one of the biggest jewels of Bee community," Bernal said. "We are fortunate to have a college in our midst.
"I have a selfish reason. As a high school principal, I want all of my kids to go to CBC. I want all of students to be part of that college.
"I would like to see it continue to thrive."

After a short foot chase, the officer arrested Byron Clay Scott, 22, and Rakie Lamont Badger, 20, near the corner of Main and Waughtown Streets.
Police say the suspects were carrying money from the store.
Detectives say the suspects also hit a 62-year-old man with a metal pipe during the robbery. Paramedics took the victim to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
Paramedics also treated a 24-year-old man at the scene of the crime.

text: Frequently Asked Questions What is the College of Computing & Informatics? The College of Computing & Informatics (CCI) is the new focal point for Drexel's computing and information research and education. The College serves as a central hub for multi-disciplinary computing activities, which applications and utility span across a wide range of academic domains in addressing the opportunities and challenges of the information age. As the College continues to showcase Drexel's long-standing strengths in computing and informatics disciplines, its recognition as a world-class academic unit for both research and educational programs will grow. CCI combines the strengths and assets of many of Drexel's undergraduate, graduate, and professional computing and informatics programs. Specifically, the College unites the former iSchool, College of Information Science & Technology; the Department of Computer Science (from the College of Engineering); and the Computing and Security Technology program (formerly housed in the Goodwin College School of Technology and Professional Studies). Who is the dean of the College of Computing & Informatics? Spiros Mancoridis, PhD is interim dean of the College of Computing & Informatics. Why was the College of Computing & Informatics formed? In early 2013, an interdisciplinary task force was formed to review the broad area of computing and informatics/information studies programs available at Drexel and evaluate where programs might overlap. The task force concluded that the University's broad program in computing is at a tipping point-that strong growth in the academic programs and in the R&D portfolio, both enabled by an outstanding faculty body, creates a once-in-a-generation opportunity to effect the academic organizational change necessary to: Position the University as an academic leader in computing; Enhance cross-college interdisciplinary learning and research in computing; Establish computing education as vital to all Drexel majors, improving student outcomes for computing majors and non-majors alike. The development of a powerful narrative around the University's collective computing activities creates an opportunity to make computing a centerpiece in the University's strategic growth. As computing plays an increasingly critical role in all sectors of the economy, a rich, coherent academic program in computing promises to contribute to the development of the local innovation community, strengthening links to regional industry, government and not-for-profit entities. When did the transition to the College of Computing & Informatics happen? The joining of the Computing and Security Technology program, the iSchool, and Department of Computer Science into the new College of Computing & Informatics began in September 2013. Current students then continued in their respective colleges/schools in the 2013-14 academic year, and will continue on their current curriculum trajectory. All students in the academic units in the iSchool, Department of Computer Science, and the Computing and Security Technology program were matriculated in the new College in fall 2014. Where does the College of Computing & Informatics reside? CCI administrative offices, labs and classrooms are located in the following facilities: the Rush Building, One Drexel Plaza, University Crossings and 3401 Market Street (click here to view Drexel University's main campus map). For any other questions, please contact us at email@example.com.

Isaac Aguigui, the Army private and alleged ringleader of a plot to assassinate Barack Obama and "take over" Ft. Stewart in Georgia, apparently served as a page at the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minnesota.
Aguigui, according to Georgia prosecutors, financed a plot to kill the president, take over Ft. Stewart and poison apple orchards in Washington state with a $500,000 insurance settlement he got last year after his pregnant wife's death.
Does anybody remember the outrage at Janet Napolitano when the following report from the Department of Homeland Security came out in 2009?
"The document on right-wing extremism sent last week by this department's Office of Intelligence and Analysis is one in an ongoing series of assessments to provide situational awareness to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies on the phenomenon and trends of violent radicalization in the United States," Ms. Napolitano said in her statement.
Finally, look how the press is handling this incident. Did anyone note the benign headline from the following Reuters article, "U.S. soldiers killed two to shield anarchist plot: prosecutor"?
Why isn't the headline something along the lines of "Assassination Attempt Against President Obama Thwarted"? Is it because the president is black? Or is it because the soldier's first name isn't Mohammed that this story is being overlooked?
