VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) — A Clark County sheriff's spokesman says a SWAT officer has shot and critically wounded a woman at a home near Ridgefield, Wash., after she reportedly said she wanted officers to shoot her and advanced, pointing a handgun at them.
Sgt. Scott Schanaker says the 60-year-old woman was flown to Southwest Washington Medical Center, where she was listed in critical condition. She was not immediately identified.
The officer who fired was not identified either.
Sheriff's deputies and then a SWAT team responded to the home Friday after reports that an armed, despondent woman had barricaded herself in a room above a garage.
The Columbian says property records show the home is owned by a local doctor.

Shale oil techniques are difficult to export, experts say
Governments and oil producers worldwide are watching the successful American shale oil development of the past few years, but it will be difficult for them to transport the effort outside of North America, according to speakers Tuesday at the University of Oklahoma Energy Symposium.
Chinese companies have invested in Oklahoma City based Chesapeake Energy Corp., Devon Energy Corp. and SandRidge Energy Inc. Even with the expertise they gain from those projects, similar shale projects in China are not expected anytime soon, said Robert Sheppard, former CEO of BP PLC's Russian oil company TNK.
"You need a service sector that's incredibly sophisticated with a pretty high-tech workforce," Sheppard said. "Building that in China is going to be difficult."
Mike Stice, CEO of Oklahoma City-based Access Midstream Partners, earlier in his career spent five years trying to develop coal bed methane throughout the world.
While unconventional oil and natural gas reserves have been found in many areas, few contain the other resources necessary for successful production, he said.
"We are blessed here in North America with tremendous infrastructure and service businesses," Stice said.
It is not easy to quickly build the equipment and expertise needed for horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing and other processes for producing unconventional oil. But Stice said he expects the rest of the world to catch up eventually.
Globalizing processes
"It takes time, but they will ultimately be able to globalize what we've done here," he said.
Philip Lambert, CEO of Lambert Energy Advisory in London, said the growing world demand for energy will force countries throughout the world to focus on shale oil and natural gas.
Lambert pointed to the Bazhenov field in western Siberia, which is the size of Texas and the Gulf of Mexico combined, or more than 80 times larger than the oil-rich Bakken Shale of North Dakota and Montana. Russia so far has shown little interest in developing the Bazhenov, but Lambert said that likely will change soon.
"I don't think the world has missed the shale revolution," he said.
"Just as Peter the Great went to Holland to learn how to build ships, Russia has brought in ExxonMobil and other American companies to learn shale. Russia will embrace shale oil."

The news of Disney-owned brands Marvel and Lucasfilm eventually teaming up to bring "Star Wars" back to the pages of the publisher has been a long time coming, and the two companies revealed plans to combine forces in 2015.
"In 2015, the cosmic adventures of Luke, Han, Leia, and Chewbacca will make the lightspeed jump back to Marvel, to begin a new age of adventures within the Star Wars universe," said Carol Roeder, director of Lucasfilm franchise publishing, in a press release on StarWars.com.
Marvel and Lucasfilm have a shared history that dates back to before Disney started buying up everything in this galaxy. The home of Spider-Man, Iron Man and Captain America published the first "Star Wars" comic book all the way back in 1977. It wasn't until 1991 that rival publisher Dark Horse took over the license and greatly increased the size of the Expanded Universe.
As is always the case when two brands with such beloved characters team up, the question that likely filled every geeky mind as soon as fans heard the news was "Will there be a crossover event?" It's certainly a thought that would make the brain of any hardcore fan melt in either pure joy or sheer rage, but there are few basic facts to consider.
» Whether fans love or hate the idea, a Marvel-Star Wars crossover event will inevitably drum up a ton of controversy. Both kinds of readers will eagerly hand over cash to see the event crash and burn or fulfill the deepest, darkest nerdy fantasies. And that means lots and lots of money for Marvel, which at the end of the day is a business.
» How could Marvel characters and "Star Wars" character ever exist in the same universe, you ask. Well, you're forgetting the time that Superman fought Thor and Batman duked it out with Captain America. This is the comic books we're talking about, a format that has been able to justify literally anything for the sake of getting what they want story-wise. A beloved character died? Bring him back to life. Two characters don't exist in the same fictional world? Open an inter-dimensional portal. All it would take to bring Boba Fett face to face with Iron Man would be a single panel and a line of dialogue.
Whether the crossover comes to pass or not, the combination of Marvel and "Star Wars" is an exciting one for fans of both properties. The world of Jedis and bounty hunters is an exciting one to play in, and Marvel's got some great storytellers on the payroll. No matter where your loyalty lies, it's another good day to be a geek.

.- A silver cross containing the relics of six Mexican priests martyred in the 1920s will be on display at Denver's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception for public veneration from May 5-7. Colorado is one of just eight states to which the relics of these six Mexican priests are traveling.
The reliquary will be exposed starting with 5:30 p.m. Mass on May 5 until Sunday.
All six of the martyrs were declared saints by Pope John Paul II in 2000. In addition, all of them were members of the Knights of Columbus.
The tour aims to build awareness of all those who sacrificed their lives for the Catholic faith during the Mexican persecution of the 1920s. During that time of oppression, the Church was forbidden to own property, Catholic seminaries and schools were closed, and priests and laity were told to publicly denounce their faith or risk death.
Not coincidentally, the start of the visit coincides with the Mexican celebration of Cinco de Mayo.
The stories of these saints are available at www.kofc.org/relics.

Peak Oil Review – 23 May 2016
Last week began on a bullish tone with oil prices climbing to a seven-month high, Goldman Sachs talking about the end of the oil glut, and columnists predicting a new spike in prices. All this optimism was based on solid Chinese oil imports, strong US gasoline demand, and production outages in Alberta, Nigeria, Libya and Venezuela. As the week moved on, however, the market became less optimistic as US, European, and Asian crude stocks continued to rise, and prices failed to break through the $50 a barrel barrier.

One Industries Gamma Regime Helmet $0.00
The One Industries Gamma Regime Helmet gives you moto-rated protection, without weighing you down. There are plenty of downhill racers and freeriders who won't ride with anything less than a DOT approved moto helmet, since they're certified for high speed impacts. And that means that when you sample some dirt, your head will be protected, so you'll stand the best possible chance of walking it off, instead of getting carted off.
DOT certification exceeds the safety standards set forth for cycling helmets, and the Gamma passes those standards with room to spare. But its protection doesn't mean much if you strain your neck railing a berm with the helmet on. That's why One used a pre-preg fiberglass shell, which is not only strong, but lightweight. The shell is paired with a dual density EPS liner adding even more ability to slow impact forces.
Large flow-through ventilation ports help to keep your head from overheating. Admittedly, it's not as heavily vented as some bicycle-specific offerings, but there's a strong case to be made that the added protection more than makes up for it. And the removable head liner is easily washable, so any extra sweat you do expel won't lead to a prematurely funky helmet.
The One Industries Gamma Regime Helmet is available in six sizes, from X-Small, to XX-Large, and in the color White/navy/chartreuse.

Blizzard Adding In-game Advertising to Next-Gen MMOPosted 23 Jan 2012 by
OK, this is not Diablo related but it's pretty interesting. Blizzard are looking to NeoGaf for their next-gen MMO for a Franchise Development Producer.
In other words, someone to work with big brands to get their products into the game. Some of the job's tasks include…
- Work with major consumer brands to facilitate product placement and licensing within the world of Blizzard Entertainment's next-gen MMO that enhances the gameplay experience.
- Direct strategic analysis of market trends and competition.
"There may be future opportunities where you might offer a consumer an advertiser-supported experience so they wouldn't have to pay for it," he continued. "But as long as our audience is paying $60 for a game or a subscription fee I think we're going to limit the amount of advertising or sponsorship incorporated into a game."
The next game could in fact include an additional free to play model where there will be no subscriptions, it could be completely supported by advertising as Bobby hints at in his comments. Players who pay a monthly subscription could avoid any advertising as part of the fee.
While ads for Doritos or the latest Toyota won't cut it in the Diablo franchise, the job position indicates that the next-gen MMO (AKA Project Titan) could be set in a modern-day or futuristic setting where in-game ads would not look out of place. It makes you wonder though, is there any product placement that could work in Diablo 3? Perhaps we'll have to scale 'Mount Dew' at some point 😉
Thanks NeoGaf

Amicus Curiae: Information in the Service of Justice
From Ken Strutin's introduction to this guide: In the legal system, such intonements have taken on the form of specialized briefs called amicus curiae ("friend of the court"). And through extension and by complement they have appeared in the form of law reviews, media articles, exposes, and books. Indeed, there is an oscillating relationship between amici and law reviews, which has been beneficial for scholarship and public discourse. In the end, it is the passion for justice that drives individuals, governments, academics, lawyers, journalists and other interested groups to befriend the courts. The amicus has the power to speak to many audiences simultaneously. In the courtroom, it is the honest broker; in the public media, it is the educator; in academia, it is scholarly analysis and historical perspective. Bounded by common law, court rules, and the conventions of publishing (briefs, articles or books), the amicus can yet move knowledge into venues where it is most needed. An amicus can serve as an "oral shepardizer," expert witness, or quasi-litigant that extends the range of judicial notice and culls, concentrates and vets information into a case-specific resource. Still, there is a tension between the role of the amicus as independent expert offering facts and a party arguing an agenda, which can ultimately impact the quality and constitutionality of decision-making. Indeed, there are concerns that unregulated amicus practice can undermine development of case law by opening the door to issues and arguments beyond the threshold of standing and jurisdiction. Lastly, the free range of amicus briefs can exacerbate already problematic judicial information seeking behavior. Roman legal tradition fashioned the amicus into an interlocutor, an explainer in all kinds of cases. Today, their roles are circumscribed by court rule and common law. However, the scope of this article is confined to a discrete precinct of the amicus universe, criminal justice. — Published April 26, 2015

Last year, at the urging of the National Federation for the Blind, scores of blind people objected to the waiver. And the FCC listened. "We believe that, given the swift pace at which e-reader and tablet technologies are evolving and the expanding role of ACS in electronic devices, granting a waiver beyond this period is outweighed by the public interest and congressional intent to ensure that Americans with disabilities have access to advanced communications technologies." — Published January 4, 2015

He addressed the pivotal ways in which law librarians remain critical contributors to the work product of law firms, professors and researchers in the academic arena, and change agents within the overall professional communities whose work places are increasingly dominated by Big Data, business intelligence and complex analytical tools. — Published October 31, 2014
Looking back, leaping forward, leveraging crisis, and freeing the law: A lawyer story
Thomas R. Bruce, Director of the Cornell University Law School Legal Information Institute discusses how Google Scholar's caselaw collection is a victory for open access to legal information and the democratization of law. He strongly acknowledges the fifth anniversary of this open access legal web site, but goes further to focus on the importance of this benchmark to the expanding value of freely accessible legal information combined with technically advanced search features available to diverse user communities outside the scope of the legal profession, for free. From caselaw to the rapidly expanding regulatory arena, fed by rules created by over 400 federal agencies that have enormous and multifaceted impact on our lives, the potential for search, discovery, education, empowerment and citizen engagement remains under development. Thank you Tom and all the experts at LII for blazing, maintaining and pioneering the next wave of critical paths to enable access to free legal research. — Published October 31, 2014
Adobe's laxness with e-book data shows the need for a library-controlled ecosystem for library e-books

The top six library issues - from the Amazon threat to the need for a national digital library endowment
Long time public library advocate David Rothman shares what he identifies as the Six Big Issues for libraries, and a related discussion about each. They are: 1. Whether public libraries will even exist half a century from now; 2. The urgent need for a national digital library endowment to help fund two separate but intertwined systems, one public and one academic; 3. America's changing demographics. Can public libraries respond when both their hiring practices and book collections lag so badly in this respect?; 4. Copyright threats and opportunities; 5. Threats to patron confidentiality from governments, marketers and others; 6. Censorship and onerous porn-filter requirements. — Published October 31, 2014

A Monadic Effect for Press Freedom in Lethal international Conflicts
The preceding analyses have shown that shared press freedom is clearly associated with a reduced propensity to engage in international conflicts; in fact, shared press freedom produced the strongest results. Exploring the role the news media played in the dehumanization of an international opponent added the idea that the transition from nonlethal to lethal actions represented a critical threshold in international conflicts. Chapter 5 demonstrated that press freedom seems to have an effect on the transition over this threshold and it appears to prevent lethal international conflicts between states that share press freedom.
This chapter extends the dehumanization argument further, exploring the possibility that press freedom, regardless of whether it is shared by the opponent, has a modest effect in preventing dehumanization. Press freedom, even when it is not shared by both states in the conflict, might reduce a state's propensity toward lethal crisis escalation. Press freedom might have this effect because, despite the tendency toward leadership dominance of the sources of news in free press societies, the diversity of voices with access to the news media outlets in a free press creates a modest obstacle to a leader's efforts to form dehumanized enemy images. It is clearly not an insurmountable obstacle, as free press states do go to war. However, in less severe international confrontations, the leaders of states with free presses should occasionally be prevented from forming enemy images that are sufficiently dehumanized to justify lethal conflict.

But the film resolves itself in no time into something a good deal more mundane: a twisty crime drama complete with gauzy Guy Maddin visuals that cements Norton as the gravitas-heavy young actor most likely to be cast as Heathcliff in a badly-considered community theatre adaptation of Wuthering Heights. It's tedious and protracted, if not otherwise offensive--an elaborate piece of fluff that does its little tricks to the medium-delight of its tiny, undemanding audience before fading into the wings. Though it's tempting to laud it for having no pretensions to greatness, it's equally tempting to stay home and laud it from there.

The "great harvest" of Czech cinema peaked with The Shop on Main Street (Obchod na korze: Ján Kádár and Elmar Klos) (1965) and Closely Watched Trains (Ostře sledované vlaky: Jiří Menzel) (1966), both of which received Oscars for Best Foreign Language Film. Forman was nominated in this period for Loves of a Blonde (Lásky jedné plavovlásky) (1966) and Firemen's Ball (Hoří, má panenko) (1968), and would later be honoured by the Academy for his English language films One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus. Ivan Passer's American-made Law and Disorder is one of the lost classics of the 1970s. In 1994, Jan Sverák directed Jizda, a film referred to by many as the "Czech Easy Rider" because of its road movie structure and pushing of the moral boundaries for a new generation of Czech filmmakers. With the Velvet Revolution of 1989 that concluded communist control and gave birth to the Czech Republic, the Czech film industry underwent a radical change from a purely state-sponsored...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - The Arkansas House has delayed a vote on a controversial proposal to cap state spending.
Republican Leader Rep. Bruce Westerman of Hot Springs said Thursday he plans to amend the measure to specify that the annual spending limit would apply only to the revenue the state has available after paying out tax refunds and other obligations.
The proposal would limit the growth in most of the state's annual expenditures to either 3 percent or the three-year average increase in the state's gross domestic product, whichever is less. Current law constrains government spending to the amount of money it collects.
Proponents of the bill say it's needed to slow the rate of government growth, but Gov. Mike Beebe has said the measure would "wreak havoc" on the state's budget.

Happy "Withholding Tax" Day
Via Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform blog,
On this day in 1943 the "Current Tax Payment Act", was passed by Congress. It provides for income taxes on wages and salaries to be withheld by employers from paychecks. The purpose stated was that is was an emergency provision for the War. Sure — but it is still with us today. This act accounts for the uncontrolled growth of government more than any other event!!!
Also on this day in 1963 The Equal Pay Act, P.L. 88-38, is enacted. It guarantees women equal pay for equal work but proves difficult to enforce. "Equal work" is totally subjective but contributes to Lawyer's full employment.
Milton Friedman, who was a key player in implementing the "tax withholding" system realized what he had done and sought redemption.
"Far more important, without a system of current collection, it would have been impossible to collect the amount of income taxes that we collected during the war. At the time, we concentrated single-mindedly on promoting the war effort. We gave next to no consideration to any longer-run consequences. It never occurred to me at the time that I was helping to develop machinery that would make possible a government that I would come to criticize severely as too large, too intrusive, too destructive of freedom. Yet, that is precisely what I was doing."
Since defects don't matter, according to Chaney and others, there is only one reason why the Government doesn't just print Legal Tender rather than collecting taxes. That reason is to legitimize the $US as the worlds reserve currency.

"helping to develop machinery that would make possible a government that I would come to criticize severely as too large, too intrusive, too destructive of freedom"
Friedman sounds like Woodrow Wilson.
I created the monster but I didn't let it out of the cage.
So Milty stated he regreted his devils bargain. Surprising...but I doubt he actually regretted it.
(Un)intended consequences are a bitch. It's so easy to fuck-it-up, but so hard to undo the damage. Ayn Rand was right, we need to withdraw our productive capacity from this system and let it crash and burn.
For fiat tyranny, all consequence is "unintended", but "necessary".
I don't buy that BS from Milton that he had 'regrets' and I'm happy to see you guys being skeptical too. Occam's Razor is a First Principle: the simplest answer is the correct one, so of course he knew what he was doing (it's so easy to say I'm sorry I didn't mean it).
Amen brother, aways the late life or death bed confessions of statist. "I didn't know it would turn out this way" Well fuck you, it always does when it involves the state. Fuck you Freidman, Fuck you Wilson, FDR, William F Buckley.
That tax was then and still is now only applicable to US persons, not Americans.
I am Chumbawamba.
That is true but proving you are not a US person before they throw you in jail is the hard part. They have made it very difficult to unwind your UCC Citizenship.
Yes, proving you are not something is not only "very difficult", it is impossible. Why are you so insecure? Do you need to prove anything to anyone? If someone accuses you, why not make them proffer up the proof?
I am Chumbawamba.
Anybody that earns an IRS income from the US and its territories, which is why they want to create a global empire putting everyone under their thumb, is subject to paying taxes to the IRS mafia.
by the way... all naturalized citizens are US Citizens. Makes one wonder if that is the reason for the porous border down south. Maybe when US Citizens outnumber the residents of these several states then the republic truely changes into mob rule, I mean a democracy.
Indeed. However, naturalization is a function of the (union) state. At any point the naturalized US citizen can revert to the state citizenship they first received before becoming a part of the US collective by voiding their contract with US Inc.
Conversely, any of the people can use their sovereign authority to "naturalize" someone, through marriage, adoption, or other legally binding contracts.
I am Chumbawamba.

So thought the "Freeman" of Montana before they languished in jail. I'm not saying it's not doable but IMHO it's not easy unless you are talking about dropping off the grid and going incognito and even then you're always ducking and flinching everytime you hear "Hey You" shouted out. Don't get me wrong; I'm a freeman at heart, but I own a business and hiding behind a tree or a slogan is bad for business. Sadly, I guess I'm just a UCC captive at this time.
I don't pay. Or file. I'm a above Section 8 working poor stiff. I'll never own-own anything.
So, I'm out. Done. My own stimulus, my own QE program.
I charge less, customers get more...local pump priming.
( insert Treasure of Sierra Madres Mexican bandit voice, here.) " Stimulas? We don't got no...we don't need no stink-eeing stimulas!"
So lock me up, or make me work for nothing...whatever. Another serf on strike.
Happy Father's Day next week AND don't forget to pay your Rotten Fucking Quarterly's, unless your Tim G. or Friend!!!!!!!!
Obama, Bernanke, Democrats, Republicans and all the rest can KISS MY ASS....
Milton was also intellectually responsible for Nixon ending the Bretton-Woods international gold standard so his scientific Monetarism theory could be ushered in as policy. 42 years later, the lunatic mad scientist neo-Keynesians, who have been handed the keys to monetary policy, are putting the final nail in the global financial system coffin. Thanks Milton.
I told my congressman once that the withholding should be repealed and everyone should just have to pay an estimate quarterly. He said people wouldn't pay. I said I know, but they would see it and realize what is being spent and that it actually comes (well some of it) from them. Withholding makes it as if they don't have a stake in the game. Hell, make it like a co-pay at the doctors office. If we want t fix it, then you have to get a large percentage of people invovled.
Well, we're still at 'war' aren't we?
Yep, and always will be, it's the 'Mercan Way. War on hunger, poverty, drugs, terror, on and on.
You are to forget war on cats.
And the people infested with them.
I am offended by your use of 'Mercan Way'. In the future please learn to spell more concisely. The word you were looking for is 'Merican' unless of course you meant to spell out 'Mercantilist', in which case all is forgiven. sarc/off and I did not red arrow you.
We've always been at war with...
Art Cashin -
The task of controlling men in economic detail proved too much for Diocletian's expanding, expensive, and corrupt bureaucracy. To support this officialdom – the army, the courts, public works, and the dole – taxation rose to such heights that people lost the incentive to work or earn, and an erosive contest began between lawyers finding devices to evade taxes and lawyers formulating laws to prevent evasion. Thousands of Romans, to escape the tax gatherer, fled over the frontiers to seek refuge among the barbarians. Seeking to check this elusive mobility and to facilitate regulation and taxation, the government issued decrees binding the peasant to his field and the worker to his shop until all their debts and taxes had been paid. In this and other ways medieval serfdom began."
Now the NSA will make sure your a serf.
Friedman was a shitbag. He did what Statists always do. Afterwards he lied when he said he regretted it.
The so-called Chicago school of economics is another Statist lie and distraction. An analogy would be GLD; the purpose is to draw fiat away frm physical, and back into fiat. Similarly in intellectual capital - the Chicago school is a lie designed to distract attention from von Mises and Rothbard.
If you want to know WHY capital moves around like it does, you must understand Austrain business cycle theory. The Austrains are the only ones who actually understand what interest rates do to an economy.
Friedman's unintended consequences:
I'm a reasonable and fair person, but I'm getting Sooooo tired of Tribal Lies and Deceptions.
If you're not 'in', you're not in.
The never ending fraud will not be discontinued voluntarily
Therefore the US and the world is in a perpetual state of war
The govt is falling apart, the euro is falling apart, the stock market has more mood swings than a woman in a 9 month term.
All this govt "fat" will melt away once they can no longer justify it.... the Executive branch has already lost all credibility...as has congress and the senate.... the majority of people see the govt that we have now as a phony usurper . . .
Yeah, I'm pretty overwhelmed by all these mass resignations by Congress and the Executive branch...
It doesn't matter if they resign or not, no one takes any laws they pass seriously anymore, they are just morons sitting in chairs collecting paychecks funded by govt debt at this point, the Fed is sending these morons paychecks.... not us.... the Fed is stealing our money and using it to pretend it runs a government in this mass of land generally known as America.
Do you care what laws these morns pass anymore?
For gods-sake they are sneaking in Laws/Bills "Monsanto Protection Act", thats like a "Bill Gates Protection Act" that lets "bill gates steal credit card information", it doesn't make any sense, and by any measure no law made for the sole purpose of protection ONE person/Corporation from the reprucusions of their crimes is a just and right law... Laws like "the monsanto protection Act" are completely Void and Null, they are fraudulant laws.... laws either apply TO EVERYONE or NO ONE, because if they don't apply to everyone, than well you have an arristocracy/royal class of people who are exempt from the law and can commit any crime they want.... this is SERIOUS.
Do the police even know the law to enforce it?
The only step that remains for the general public is to refuse to pay tax bills and ignore / label all letters with the IRS Letter Head as Spam Mail.
Make them work for the money they demand from you, don't pay anyone who is not holding a court order/decision, take every tax bill to court.... it costs like 30$ to go to court....... make them work for it.
Simply refuse to pay them money till they return to a sensible state of mind/organization and stop trying to force the NWO Globalization crap on us.
This isn't the govt people voted for.... even if you voted for Obama, you voted against Endless Wars, Drone Strikes, etc.... the only thing people voted for was Health Care, but even that now, liberals who voted for that are seeing that it was a stupid idea and that they were better off with an open non-govt system.
Obama is losing support, not gaining it.
People are tired of Red AND Blue, they are looking for a Purple Party at this point, a party for the people, which is dangerous because that usually endsup forming some kind of crazy power-madman who promises the world and then literally tries to take it over.
We have to avoid becoming a complete socialist state at all costs, and the best way to start, is to start holding people, congress, Banks,Bankers,IRS etc... ACCOUNTABLE and to REFUSE their demands/laws/bills until they get in line with what is RIGHT and JUST.
As far as I am concerned, right now, anyone paying taxes to the irs after all the fraud/scandals and years of abusive practices is a traitor or just doesn't give a shit/thinks someone else will hold them accountable and that "its not their problem".
Until everyone protests, Nothing is going to change, and rights and freedoms will continue to be stripped away till this country is a complete totalitarian state.
For freedom to exist, you need to have the freedom to refuse to pay your oppressors.
If you don't have the basic human right to refuse to pay taxes to a govt you don't agree with, then you are just a slave.
the appearance of an act being performed based upon legal right or enforcement of statute, when in reality no such right exists. An outstanding example is found in the civil rights acts which penalize law enforcement officers for violating civil rights by making arrests "under color of law" of peaceful protestors or to disrupt voter registration. It could apply to phony traffic arrests in order to raise revenue from fines or extort payoffs to forget the ticket.
OT but newsworthy--The NSA whistleblower revealed himself.
That's because you were a dumbass. RULE NUMBER ONE OF CIVILIZATION: never give an inch to the government or they will take a light year.
Two areas of disagreement. When Cheney said deficits don't matter he was referring to reelection politics. Not only was he right, Obama's reelection just proved that in spades.
The second are is that Keynesian Economics and the concept of unlimitied borrowing to help "aggregate demand" is a larger enabler of big governemt that tax withholding. Keynesian economics dispenses with the need to raise all the revenue required for enlarging govedrnment.
Just my personal opinion but I think you should be allowed to not pay taxes when the people collecting the taxes use the money to kill you.
And they charge you income tax, and then when you spend the money that is left, they tax you again with fuel tax around 60% probably and VAT at 20% on most things, 5% on electricity and gas. Road tax on your car. And tax on the insurance that is compulsory if you drive said car.
We are nothing more than slaves.
The problem is, cars are these giant cages of rolling steel.
Back in the day, cars topped out at 40 MPH and most didn't have seatbelts, there are videos of people in cars back in the early days where they crash into brick walls/poles at top speed, fly out of the car, hit the pavement, brush themselves off and get back in the car.
Thats how cars should be! they shouldn't be these 90 mph death machines, most of the cars on the road in local areas never go more than 25 ~ 35 mph and usually travel to school, grocery store and back home...... these are the cars that should be selling for around 2000~ 7000$ tops, but Americans are stupid and demand hummers and sporty 4 doors with 300 HP.
There should be laws in place, where if your vehicles top speed is under 45MPH and the Gross Weight of your car is under 1200 lB that you don't need insurance or licenses!
The problem is, there is no incentive to drive a small vehicle like that because you are going to pay just as much to all the crap as if you were driving a hummer stretch limo.
has it been 70 years already, damn that leech is huge today.
from answers.com about Paul 1 of Russia (Son of Catherine the Great)
He also endeavored to impose restrictions on the exploitation of serf labor by pronouncing that landlords should demand only three days of corvée per week on their land. Three days were to be reserved for the peasants' own plots, and Sunday was to be observed as the Sabbath. This decree appears not to have significantly modified serf exploitation in the short run, and the secular shift from quitrent to corvée, begun in the mid-eighteenth century, continued apace until the abolition of serfdom in 1861, at least in the central heartland. But the decree constituted at least a symbolic challenge to noble serf owners, the very people who, through the early nineteenth century, dominated the upper rungs of the imperial service system known as the Table of Ranks.Read more: http://www.answers.com/topic/paul-i#ixzz2Vkhg1e4H So for a Russian Serf you get an effective 3/7 tax or 42.8% tax rate. So if your combined Federal, State and Local tax adds to more than that, you are no better than a 19th century Russian serf.
"It never occurred to me at the time that I was helping to develop machinery that would make possible a government that I would come to criticize severely as too large, too intrusive, too destructive of freedom."
Really? I'm sure millions of regular people at the time made precisely that objection, but they were ignored, just we were ignored who decried the Patriot Act (sic), warning that it would lead to spying and military action against Americans on U.S. soil. Friedman is full of it. If we could easily see the result of such actions, so did he and so did his tribe.
The Stato Institute slobbers all over this guy. He's great for a quote , but far from the best (he supported fiat currency) in defense of liberty. I'll stick with Rothbardians and the Mises Institute, thank you very much.

Thank you Eddy! Glad you like it. It really means a lot, since i worked hard on it. Definitely a direction i have been wanting to take my art in. Its hard to not work with a line, since i am so used to it as well. Always feel like i need finished lines to work from. Can't wait to see what you are working on!
so amazing, love looking at this piece. THE BEST!
Lovely, sir. I'm likin' the purple hues. I'm curious to know what you were angling for in the colors that you think turned out well.
Oh just some atmosphere, and more of a softness. I do not really consider myself a good colorist, or anything. I just feel like i tend to do solid shadows all the time, and nothing else. Also i never really feel like i build something up like i am actually painting it, and i did that with this. Normally i feel like i NEED finished linework when i am coloring. This i just went from a rough sketch and jumped in. Tried to be spontaneous, instead of overworking a sketch that i might want to color. Not sure if any of that stuff shows, ha.

Call Queue Management
With the traditional PBX, one extension can keep only one call on wait, while the other call is in progress. More incoming calls cannot be entertained.
Your business might survive this sometimes. But this situation can be the business-killer during the rush hours. When the call flow is at its peak, every missed and untracked call is a customer that you are losing. Thus, the traditional PBX services are likely to cost you a huge loss; unless you hire more operators and install additional extensions for them. That itself is a very costly affair. Isn't?
What is the Solution?
When you have two options to either letting the customers go by or expending big sum for new operators, we recommend you to go with the third option. Choose our Hosted PBX services.
The Real PBX is a cheaper and much more efficient solution. Our Hosted PBX service brings an impeccable feature 'Call Queue Management' that makes sure that all incoming calls are entertained well in time. And the operators are well aware of the number of calls in the queue. So, they can accordingly plan his conversation to serve the customers quickly. Also, to a call to certain extension can be moved to other available extension without much of efforts.
Upgrade Your Business
Call Queue Management holds great strength for business productivity. It maintains all incoming calls on an extension in a queue that is instantly displayed to the operators on their softphone.
With some amazing features, such as- virtual receptionist, Advanced ACD, etc., the callers will be able to reach the required destination very quickly. It presents a perfect image of your business that you care for your customers. The quick assistance and connectivity makes sure that the customer gets the assistance in the quickest time and hence, kills all possibilities for customer think about your competitors. Call Queue Management works further to support the customers and operators at the same time.
The quick reach to the operators can sometimes be a tough ask on the operators. They might be burdened with the call flow. To save the customers and operator both, our Hosted PBX solutions can be customized to announce:
- The waiting number in the queue for the caller
- Music/ business tone
- Promotional offer
- Request for patience
It keeps the customer engaged with the call and thus, the chances of hanging up are reduced greatly. Even if a caller disconnects the call before being received by the operator, the number will be listed to missed calls. So, they can be contacted back. Get all that and a lot more for your business- only with The Real PBX.

text: Posted April 9, 2011 I understand the whole risk factor thing especially at number 1 but one thing I can't understand is why so many people are worried about us being "set back" when we are already back. We won 2 games, sub par offense and are without question the worst team in our division. We are young, with talent but rebuilding start with the most important position in football. He is a winner/leader, wants to be great (sports icon) not average ala Fox era, and Media & big game pressure doesn't affect his play he seems to thrive off of it. Could see him being the face of the franchise lifting a small market team ala Lebron did in Cleveland. Is a REAL dual threat QB can beat you with his arm and legs. He has talent that is not as raw as many claim not the finished product but his question marks can be fixed if he is willing to put in the work. A very high ceiling higher than anyone else in this draft imo. All of those quality's with our need at QB is why I want Newton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything else should depend on the number of participants. If somehow you end up with 20+ artists, than go with the top three, you know?
Good justification! I will go with that method then.
I think execution and design, should cover it. Any other categories I am forgetting?

How much would you be willing to pay for a single number plate?Thursday, October 4th, 2007
When I think about all the different things I could spend my money on, a car number plate does not appear at the top of my list. It's one of those things I have because it's required. I certainly would be forking out in excess of $1million (AUD) for the "right to display" a single digit number plate. $1 million (AUD) is what the number plate with "6" is expected to fetch at the Shannons auction at the Sydney International Motorshow.
$1 million for a number plate! Lets put that into perspective, you could buy a single number plate you could instead buy:
- over 15 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X's;
- around 2,000 Xbox 360's;
- over 3,500 copies of today's deal from DealDotCom 😉 ;
- 2,000,000 fifty cent cones from McDonalds.
I know what I'd rather do with the money, but what about you? How much would you be willing to spend on a "special" numberplate?

"We believe Twist's proprietary semiconductor-based DNA synthesis process using a silicon platform will provide increased speed, quality and throughput, as well as reduced cost, to the design/build/test research cycle for developing better biologics, diagnostics, industrial chemicals and agbio products," says Twist CEO Emily Leproust (pictured). "Applied Ventures' investment will assist our efforts to commercialise our first products in 2015."
Twist's manufacturing process is intended to enable large-scale, high-throughput construction of genetic designs that aim to overcome industry inefficiencies by synthesizing DNA on silicon instead of traditional plastic.
The investment gives Applied the chance to leverage its expertise in precision materials engineering to add value to applications in emerging biotechnology markets.
"Applied Ventures' investment in Twist underscores our investment strategy to use our core strength in precision materials engineering to promote innovation and to help commercialize Twist's technology to enhance personalized healthcare and agriculture production," says Applied Ventures gm Eileen Tanghal.
Twist's 10,000-well silicon-based manufacturing platform is capable of producing synthetic biology tools, such as oligonucleotides, genes, pathways, chassis and genomes. By transitioning the industry from existing plastic and glass substrates to silicon, the company's technology has the potential to accelerate the development of personalised medicine, sustainable chemical production, improved agriculture production and related new applications such as in vivo diagnostics, biodetection and data storage.

And the West Virginia History Bowl Winner Is.....
Middle School teams from across West Virginia were in Charleston at the Culture Center Tuesday to participate in the annual West Virginia History Bowl.
24 teams from 18 schools have been competing since about 9:30 a.m. in a double elimination tournament featuring questions on topics like the state's history, culture, geography and heritage.
But in the end it came down to a match between Fairview and Moorefield.
The last question was: "What species of tree near Smithtown Monongalia County is the largest of its species on record in the United States?"
A team member from champion Moorefield Middle School correctly answered "Virginia pine" to give the school a 26-21 win over Fairview, which won second place.
One of two teams from Cameron Middle School took third place and one of two teams from Mountaineer placed fourth.
