I do not view myself as a paranoid, but as a realist. In my life I have watched the bubble of freedom slowly eroded in the United States. Occasionally some action occurs that requires special attention. On Sept 11 2001 the wheels were set into motion to accelerate the elimination of freedoms of the citizens of the United States; with their consent.
Some could say that ten years after declaring war on the the United States the terrorists have come close to victory. If you can remember back to the days before Sept 11 2001 you might remember economic prosperity, a strong US dollar, opportunity for social advancement and peace. In the fog of post Sept 11 jingoism and panic the President of the US was given new executive powers to "protect the nation".
In the following ten years after Sept 11 those powers, the cost of implementing them, the cost of wars, one justified and one without merit have helped to destroy the economy of the nation. The politicians might blame welfare, they might blame illegal immigrants, they will blame anyone except themselves. They voted to increase spending and decrease revenue and that coupled with the extra ordinary expenses of two wars and "Homeland Security" have broken the bank.
To end 2011 the US government pulled another on over on the American people. Buried in the 2012 defense appropriation bill is one more major erosion to the civil rights of American citizens and legal immigrants. The language is subtile and some people do not see the danger. Here are the words from the final approved bill HR 1540. I have highlighted the relevant text.
Subtitle D—Counterterrorism
(a) IN GENERAL.—Congress affirms that the authority of the President to use all necessary and appropriate force pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note) includes the authority for the Armed Forces of the United States to detain covered persons (as defined in sub- section (b)) pending disposition under the law of war.
(b) COVERED PERSONS.—A covered person under this section is any person as follows:
(1) A person who planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored those responsible for those attacks.
(2) A person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.
(c) DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR.—The disposition of a person under the law of war as described in subsection (a) may include the following:
(1) Detention under the law of war without trial until the end of the hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
(2) Trial under chapter 47A of title 10, United States Code (as amended by the Military Commissions Act of 2009 (title XVIII of Public Law 111–84)).
(3) Transfer for trial by an alternative court or competent tribunal having lawful jurisdiction.
(4) Transfer to the custody or control of the person's country of origin, any other foreign country, or any other foreign entity.
(d) CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in this section is intended to limit or expand the authority of the President or the scope of the Authorization for Use of Military Force.
(e) AUTHORITIES.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.
(f) REQUIREMENT FOR BRIEFINGS OF CONGRESS.—The Secretary of Defense shall regularly brief Congress regarding the application of the authority described in this section, including the organiza- tions, entities, and individuals considered to be ''covered persons'' for purposes of subsection (b)(2).
(a) CUSTODY PENDING DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Except as provided in paragraph (4), the Armed Forces of the United States shall hold a person described in paragraph (2) who is captured in the course of hostilities authorized by the Authorization for Use of Military Force (Public Law 107–40) in military custody pending disposition under the law of war.
(2) COVERED PERSONS.—The requirement in paragraph (1) shall apply to any person whose detention is authorized under section 1021 who is determined—
(A) to be a member of, or part of, al-Qaeda or an associated force that acts in coordination with or pursuant to the direction of al-Qaeda; and
(B) to have participated in the course of planning or carrying out an attack or attempted attack against the United States or its coalition partners.
(3) DISPOSITION UNDER LAW OF WAR.—For purposes of this subsection, the disposition of a person under the law of war has the meaning given in section 1021(c), except that no transfer otherwise described in paragraph (4) of that section shall be made unless consistent with the requirements of section 1028.
(4) WAIVER FOR NATIONAL SECURITY.—The President may waive the requirement of paragraph (1) if the President submits to Congress a certification in writing that such a waiver is in the national security interests of the United States.
(b) APPLICABILITY TO UNITED STATES CITIZENS AND LAWFUL
(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
(2) LAWFUL RESIDENT ALIENS.—The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to a lawful resident alien of the United States on the basis of conduct taking place within the United States, except to the extent permitted by the Constitution of the United States. (c) IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES.—
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the President shall issue, and submit to Congress, procedures for implementing this section.
(2) ELEMENTS.—The procedures for implementing this section shall include, but not be limited to, procedures as follows: (A) Procedures designating the persons authorized to make determinations under subsection (a)(2) and the process by which such determinations are to be made. (B) Procedures providing that the requirement for military custody under subsection (a)(1) does not require the interruption of ongoing surveillance or intelligence gathering with regard to persons not already in the custodymor control of the United States.
(C) Procedures providing that a determination under
subsection (a)(2) is not required to be implemented until after the conclusion of an interrogation which is ongoing at the time the determination is made and does not require the interruption of any such ongoing interrogation.
(D) Procedures providing that the requirement for mili- tary custody under subsection (a)(1) does not apply when intelligence, law enforcement, or other Government officials of the United States are granted access to an individual who remains in the custody of a third country.
(E) Procedures providing that a certification of national security interests under subsection (a)(4) may be granted for the purpose of transferring a covered person from a third country if such a transfer is in the interest of the United States and could not otherwise be accomplished.
(d) AUTHORITIES.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect the existing criminal enforcement and national security authorities of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or any other domestic law enforcement agency with regard to a covered person, regardless whether such covered person is held in military custody.
(e) EFFECTIVE DATE.—This section shall take effect on the date that is 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, and shall apply with respect to persons described in subsection (a)(2) who are taken into the custody or brought under the control of the United States on or after that effective date.
As in all laws, the Congress passes them, the President signs and then the Courts can review them for constitutionality.
This law is ambiguous in it's wording.
It suggests that if the US government or the military suspects you are a terrorist in some way you can be detained by them without recourse to the courts until the end of the "war on terror". We know that war will never end, this is Orwellian warfare.
Some might suggest the the law exempts US citizens and legal residents:
Sec 1021 4(B)(1) UNITED STATES CITIZENS.—The requirement to detain a person in military custody under this section does not extend to citizens of the United States.
What is the definition of requirement?
requirement |riˈkwīrmənt|
• a thing that is compulsory; a necessary condition: applicants must satisfy the normal entry requirements.
Therefore it implies that although it is not compulsory to retain US Citizens without trial, it is also not prohibited.
This section seems to conflict with the interpretation I read above.
Sec 1021 (e) AUTHORITIES.—Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect existing law or authorities relating to the detention of United States citizens, lawful resident aliens of the United States, or any other persons who are captured or arrested in the United States.
To get a court to rule on this requires due process and a right to be heard in a court, something denied by the very fact the person who has been detained has no such right under this law.
This law, put into a defense appropriation, a must pass law, has continued to erode the rights of Americans. You will argue that you do not need to worry, you are not a terrorist. All it would take under this law is for a neighbor to accuse you of being an advocate of al-Qaeda, the Taliban or what ever new group they invent next. You are then arrested and although it is not required , you can then be detained and denied access to the courts. This is a direct violation of the fourth and fifth Amendments to the US Constitution yet it was approved by Congress and signed into law.
- The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and noWarrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
It is also a perversion of the Fifth Amendment by claiming a perpetual state of war.
- No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
- The amazing part is despite some fringe comments from both the extreme left and right wings of politics few are paying attention.
- "WASHINGTON – President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) into law today. The statute contains a sweeping worldwide indefinite detention provision. While President Obama issued a signing statement saying he had "serious reservations" about the provisions, the statement only applies to how his administration would use the authorities granted by the NDAA, and would not affect how the law is interpreted by subsequent administrations. The White House had threatened to veto an earlier version of the NDAA, but reversed course shortly before Congress voted on the final bill." ACLU
- So much for Obama, he proved he is just one more agent for removing the civil rights of all Americans abet with equality.

Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
well obviously we live far enough apart that hanging out together all the time isn't feasible. Most of us do go outside though.
I've been here for three or so years, which makes me a vet. So yeah, I'm going, of course, duh

Featured HID Kits Products
High-intensity discharge lamps (HID lamps) are a type of electrical gas-discharge lamp which produces light by means of an electric arc between tungsten electrodes housed inside a translucent or transparent fused quartz or fused alumina arc tube. This tube is filled with both gas and metal salts. The gas facilitates the arc's initial strike. Once the arc is started, it heats and evaporates the metal salts forming plasma, which greatly increases the intensity of light produced by the arc and reduces its power consumption. High-intensity discharge lamps are a type of arc lamp.
High-intensity discharge lamps make more visible light per unit of electric power consumed than fluorescent and incandescent lamps since a greater proportion of their radiation is visible light in contrast to infrared.
HID lighting has become widely used in modern auto manufacturers for the above reasons. Not only do they last significantly longer than conventional halogen units, HID (xenon) lighting produces up to 300% more light output while using a lower power input. Almost all leading auto manufacturers with the likes of; BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Toyota, Nissan, Ferrari, Lamborghini, VW, and Jaguar amongst others, have begun equipping their vehicles from the factory with the HID/xenon option. Please forward all questions regarding HIDs and/or compatibility with your vehicle to email@example.com or by calling us at (626) 737-8628

This small town in the Golden Vale on the banks of the River Loobagh, grew up around an abbey founded in the 7C by Saint Mocheallog. Several of its historic buildings still remain. It was once one of the most important cities in the county of Munster. It was conquered by Cromwell's troops around 1640 and most of the town walls were destroyed during the Williamite wars of 1690.

- The suggested route is different to what I would have expected. What might be the reason for this?
The way in which the route is calculated depends on many factors:Denne oppføringen ble sist oppdatert: 18. november 2014 10:51
▪ Which route options have you chosen?
(E.g. Motorways: Allow, Forbid, ...).
▪ What type of route do you want the system to calculate?
(Fast Route, Short Route, ...)
▪ Which type of vehicle has been specified?
(Bicycle, Pedestrian, Standard Car, ...)
▪ Which map is available?
(How old is the navigation map? Have the traffic rules changed?
Have any new roads been added?)
▪ What traffic conditions are to be expected at a given time?
(This is a question which can really only be answered by
drivers with local knowledge.)
Even if all of these parameters have been perfectly selected and you have the latest map, the navigation system may still calculate a different route to the one that you - as a driver with local knowledge - would choose. This does not represent a product defect in the sense of the warranty.
In many cases different drivers with local knowledge would recommend different routes. Ultimately, the route chosen by a particular driver will also depend on personal preferences. Of course, no navigation system could ever take such preferences fully into account. However, wherever you are heading, you can be sure that a navigation system from NAVIGON will guide you quickly and reliably to your destination.

I believe that Gnomeworks already integrates ARL. It can be found under plugins in Gnomeworks.
Trixie1971 Oct 17, 2010 at 04:26 UTC - 0 likes
Just wondering if there will be integration for Gnomeworks (or if there already is...)
Thanks, Trixie

Hello all,
First thanks for the work you do on this addon. I consider it invaluable. The last release broke my tooltip dropdown for Dailies Quest Tracker http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info8605-DailiesQuestTracker.html . The Dailies addon has not been updated in a long time. The curse version is way older even then the link I gave you. Is there any way you might figure out what happened or even better :) ... maybe pick up Dailies quest tracker as a project. Lots of peeps still use that program.
I rolled back your program to version 2.0 (July version of release) and my drop down tooltip for the dailies works again. I use Titan bar btw. To assist if you should decide to try to work on this is Travel agent also broke it and I had to roll it back as well. I really appreciate any consideration you give my request.
Happy travels in the game and thanks again

i'm working on integration with GnomeWorks, but i'm finding the requirement that i place a scan button on my frame to be a little limiting. i can't just call the Scan function or ARL will tell me to open the trade skill frame. i must attach the scan button to a visible frame first. it seems a more logical approach would be to check to see if the tradeskill frame is open via GetTradeSkillLine(). as a work-around, i'm creating a frame that i drag off screen then attach the scan button to it.

Hi, first of all thx for a really great addon.
Unfortunately i can no longer access it?? The button at the minimap is gone, and i have been unable to find any command to toggle the trade skill window. All, i can access, is the interface options by typing /arl. And yes, i have downloaded and updated to the latest beta version, and i still cant access it, though when i check addon memory usage, arl is right there on top. What am i doing wrong? How do i open it? Any help would be deeply appreciated.Last edited May 12, 2010 by dfuhers

I really don't get why this mod is updated like 8 times a day. I get making changes and enhancements, but how much can there really be to do to this mod every single day?...lol.

oh hey, so sry for double post, but when the info pops out of the side of the of the recipe list window, there are 2 info windows that will overlap if the recipe list window is too close to the right side of the screen, could this be altered so the 2nd window displays under the first? ty

ok, love the recipe list but several problems, the location sort option doesn't care where i am in the game, meaning i have to mouse over every recipe and think about how close those recipe's are to me (this would be invaluable, but the locations seem to be randomized), the reputatation filters don't seem to work at all, when adding a reputation filters, even if i uncheck every single option, i still have no changes in my list, which sucks cuz i'm stuck with a list riddled with red items, you mentioned before that reputation updates aren't made when your reputation changes with a faction (that they will still remain red) how do i get it to update properly? will i have to delete the information file in the wtf folder? also last thing, when i shift+control click a recipe in the list to add a waypoint in my map, sometimes it sets a waypoint, sometimes it doesn't, if it does, it will everytime, if it doesn't, it never will, that means that apparently something in the game is changing and causing this feature to be disabled/enabled seemingly randomly, nothing i do seems to fix this, how can i fix this? ty so much this addon is very helpful

Reviews for Ham 'n' Egg Sandwich
"Really enjoyed this recipe. I was short on time, so I put the ham and cheese on top of the eggs in the skillet and put it all on a hamburger bun with the tomato and onion. Would really be good made as directed with the french bread. Great for a crowd. Thanks for sharing!"
"there is way too much sodium,carbs,fat grams, cholesterol & anything else that you could think of. I am a diabetic & I can't eat that many carbs or even have that much sodium in one meal. I would be in the hospital with an overdose of carbs & high blood pressure in a New York minute. This sandwich is not for me. Why don't they have some low carb & low fat,sodium & low cholesterol recipes on this website for a change?"
"Oh my, How this brings back memories?.. I first had this breakfast sandwich when my parents and I lived in Verdun, France. My father was military so I was born an army brat. Back in the early 60?s my mother would make this with ?true? French bread. This has been a family and personal favorite for fifty years."
"Awesome recipe....BTW OHIO46, did you ever hear of a Fluffernutter?"
"I would like to know how to cut the unhealthy cholesterol and sodium from this because I have trouble with both. Maybe some low sodium ham? Could egg substitute be cooked in place of reg. eggs? Just pondering these possibilities to make it more healthy for me and my family."

Glass Act
Sight and sound collided in impeccable fashion at The Standard, Hollywood for the launch of Warby Parker's first Best Coast boutique. Guests were greeted with wristbands and room keys, granting them after-hours access to the first-floor store and a hotel room down the hall. Here, they soaked in cocktails, candy and exclusive performances by musicians in the Artists in Residence program, a collaborative venture between the hotel and the eyeglass experts. "I never get to escape into a hotel and write music," said singer Sidd Khosla of the partnership. "It was pretty liberating." So, too, was the finale, a swanky poolside bash where guests indulged in more music and merrymaking. Not so standard after all. Photography by Getty Images for Warby Parker

Becky Garner has started all nine games this year, recording 609 minutes, 55 seconds in the cage. With 47 stops versus 20 tallies allowed, Garner sports a 2.30 goals-against average and a .701 save percentage. The Northeastern defense has allowed 21 goals and 25 assists for 67 points given up on 119 shots.
Scouting The Boston University Terriers
Anne Fruitema leads the offense with nine points on four goals and an assist while Amanda Cassera and Sofi Laurito follow with eight a piece, with each earning their points total through four goals. Ysi Schieb adds seven points to the attack through a goal and a team-best five assists.
Valentina Cerda holds down the goalkeeping duties for Boston University with 659 minutes, 11 seconds played through nine appearances and as many starts. Cerda has a 1.17 goals-against average and .804 save percentage on 11 tallies given up versus 45 stops.
As a team, the defensively sound Terriers have only allowed 26 points on 11 goals and four assists while producing 45 points through 16 tallies and 13 helpers. BU has outshot its opposition, 135-97 with more on-target attempts, 76-to-58. Penalty corners also favor the Terriers, 61-46.
Carrying The Big Bat
The strong beginning to the current campaign comes after Sabia earned a modest six points (one goal, four assists) over 24 games as a freshman in 2012. Through 35 career appearances, Sabia now owns 28 points on 12 goals and four assists, including an Atlantic 10-best four game-winning goals on the current season.
UMass Field Hockey Among The Top-25
Sabia Sisters Power Minutewomen To Win Over Hofstra
Hannah Prince secured a pair of assists while Lindsay Bowman, Molly MacDonnell, Alexa Sikalis and Courtney Spleen added one helper each. The multi-goal game for Brooke Sabia was the fourth of the season for the Lafayette Hills, Pa., native, as she leads the Atlantic 10 in scoring with 22 points on a conference-best 11 tallies.
Brooke Sabia opened scoring in the 11th minute with a penalty corner goal. Prince inserted the ball to Sikalis at the top of the circle. Sikalis redirected the play to Saba for a shot from the left-center of the circle.
Allymohamed followed up Brooke Sabia's goal with her third of the year to double the UMass advantage. Directly following a penalty corner, Prince controlled possession and flicked the ball to Allymohamed at the goalmouth, with Allymohamed pushing a shot into the right side of the cage, past Hofstra goalie Kaitlyn De Turo.
Leading by two goals at the halftime break, the Minutewomen (7-2 overall) opened the final stanza with back-to-back strikes to push the lead to 4-0. Allie Sabia tallied her first goal of the season at the 39:08 mark on a shot attempt into the right side following a pass across the front of the goal by Bowman.
Four minutes, seven seconds later, Brooke Sabia earned her second tally of the game following a pass by MacDonnell across the goalmouth.
Hofstra (3-6) got on the board with 4:40 remaining to play. Marta Penas controlled the ball outside of the circle and fired a pass in the direction of Stella Schoen five yards away from the cage. Schoen was able to tip the ball in mid-air to earn the tally.
However, the Minutewomen extended their lead back to four goals following a penalty corner in the final minute of the game. After the initial shot by Brooke Sabia was saved, Spleen corralled the loose ball and sent a pass between De Turo and the cage to Verelst at the left post for the 5-1 final score.
Prince Named UMass Athlete Of The Week
Prince earned an assist on Brooke Sabia's goal at No. 3 Connecticut on Wednesday, Sept. 18 before providing two more as the Minutemwomen fought by Hofstra on Sunday, Sept. 22. Through nine games of the 2013 schedule, Prince owns nine points on a pair of goals and five assists, the same stats total the Gorham, Maine, native compiled during 24 games as a junior.
Minutewomen Split Weekend Slate At Syracuse Invitational
After Syracuse opened scoring, UMass responded with a Molly MacDonnell goal following a pass from Lindsay Bowman. However, the Orange finished scoring in the contest with a penalty corner goal in the second half to send the Minutewomen to their first loss of the season.
Against Ohio State, The Minutewomen struck for the only tally of the game with 43 minutes, 54 seconds gone by in the contest. On the second penalty corner chance of the day for the squad, Charlotte Verelst inserted the ball to Alexa Sikalis at the top of the circle. Sikalis pushed the play to Sabia, who fired a shot into the right side.
Sam Carlino, who finished with four saves in the cage, neutralized a pair of high quality Ohio State chances over the remainder of play to record her sixth career shutout and third of the season.
UMass Overcomes No. 19 Boston College, 4-2
The Minutewomen secured a two-goal lead with back-to-back tallies from Sabia and Bowman. Sabia broke the scoreless tie on a feed from Verelst at the 12:34 mark before Bowman redirected a Prince pass at the goalmouth for the 2-0 lead only seven minutes, 26 seconds later.
Following halftime, the Eagles responded with two goals of their own to even the score at 2-2. Emma Plasteras put home a shot with 37:33 gone by in the contest for the first BC tally. At the 52:10 mark of competition, Emily McCoy added the equalizer on a loose ball play near the cage.
UMass responded only 4:14 later with the eventual game-winning goal. MacDonnell dribbled up the East sideline of Garber Field and shifted to her right to take play into the circle. The senior from Clifton, Va., fired an attempt at the cage, with the ball deflecting off of a Boston College defender before settling into the back of the goal.
The Minutewomen extended the lead back to a pair on Sabia's second strike of the contest. With 6:33 remaining to play, Delario inserted a penalty corner to Sutherland at the top of the circle. Sutherland stopped the play and tapped it ahead to Sabia, who fired into the right side of the cage for her seventh goal of the season and second of the game.
Minutewomen Take Home Inaugural Kennedy Cup Over UMass-Lowell, 6-0
The Kennedy Cup is named in honor of University of Massachusetts and UMass-Lowell alumnus, John F. Kennedy, who is a strong supporter of both institutions. With the win, UMass starts a season with three consecutive victories for the first time since the 1996 campaign.
Lauren Allymohamed, Hannah Farrell, Cliodhna Loughlin and Hannah Prince registered a goal each as UMass (3-0 overall) totaled 17 points during the game. Alexa Sikalis added a pair of assists while Alyssa Ineson, Allie Sabia and Charlotte Verelst recorded one helper each.
Field Hockey Opens Season With Victories Over Maine, No. 9 Michigan
Against Maine, a goal each from freshmen Nicole Miller and Izzie Delario propelled the offense, while senior Hannah Prince added an assist for her 10th collegiate point. Goalkeeper Sam Carlino stopped six shots to earn her first win of the season and the 15th of her UMass career.
Miller converted a strike from the edge of the circle at the 14:35 mark of the first half before Delario added the second Minutewomen tally with 25:02 to play following a penalty corner.
Seven Minutewomen made their UMass field hockey debuts during competition against the Black Bears, including Delario, Miller, Tory Berry, Charlotte Verelst, Hannah Farrell, Cliodhna Loughlin and Hailey Cockrum.
Against No. 9 Michigan, sophomore Brooke Sabia secured her first multi-goal game as a Minutewoman in leading UMass to its 3-2 come-from-behind victory. The win marks the second consecutive season the Maroon and White have defeated a top-10 nationally ranked foe.
Prince opened scoring early for UMass (2-0 overall) with a goal 9:27 into play. The senior defender took a feed from Sikalis and fired a shot by Michigan goalkeeper Haley Jones for the senior's first tally of the year. The Wolverines (0-1) responded with a pair of goals over the remainder of the first half to take a 2-1 lead into the break. Rachael Mack earned the game-tying mark before Michelle Roberts pushed Michigan in front, 2-1 with 8:09 left in the stanza.
Following halftime, Brooke Sabia converted two attempts to push UMass in front, 3-2 with 30:32 to play in the game. Sabia's first strike came 53 seconds into the final frame before the sophomore from Lafayette Hill, Pa., added a second tally at the 39:28 mark of play. The defense kept Michigan off the scoreboard over the final 30 minutes of competition to give the Minutewomen their second consecutive 2-0 start to a season and only the third since the 2000 campaign. Sophomore goalkeeper Sam Carlino made a trio of saves over the span of 38 seconds during the final half to keep UMass in front. Carlino stopped back-to-back Rachael Mack attempts at 60:54 and 61:08 before blocking a Lauren Thomas shot following a penalty corner. Carlino finished with seven saves on the day.

Sister Schools Announces First-Annual Kennedy Cup
Sweigart Joins Field Hockey Staff
Sweigart fills the assistant coaching role previously held by Shannon Taylor, who has chosen to focus on her international playing career as a member of the U.S. National Team.
Sweigart will help develop the UMass defense that only allowed 1.75 goals per game in 2012 and tallied its fourth consecutive Atlantic 10 Conference Defensive Player of the Year honor. The Ephrata, Pa., native will also assist in the marketing and operations of the program while simultaneously focusing on recruiting efforts.
Five Compete In U.S. National Championships
Sikalis participated in the U-21 Women's National Championship with the Metro Team, while Prince joined Carlino, Sabia and Delario on the South Team. The invitation-only event served as a portion of the selection process for the U.S. Junior National Team in anticipation for the 2013 Junior World Cup, held in Germany.
Three Named Captains For 2013 Season
Allymohamed contributed to UMass' reign as the preeminent defensive leader within the Atlantic 10 as a starter on the backline over 24 contests, contributing to the offense with six points on a goal and four assists. The 2012 A-10 Defensive Player of the Year added NFHCA All-Region and A-10 All-Conference First Team picks as a sophomore and worked with Prince to help hold foes to 1.75 goals per game on 10.8 shots per contest.
A three-year starter, Prince enters her final season with 63 starts in as many appearances with the squad. The defender from Gorham, Maine, notched nine points as a junior on a pair of game-winning goals and five assists, while recording four defensive saves.
Sikalis is the active team leader in career assists with 11 and owns 21 points over 65 appearances courtesy of an additional five goals, including a single-season personal-best of three scored last year. The A-10 Championship Most Outstanding Player as a freshman in 2010, Sikalis notched 12 points on three goals and six assists as a junior to enter the 2013 campaign as the returning points leader.
Minutewomen Add 10 To Incoming Class
Sophomore Tory Berry joins the program after one year as a member of the Boston College squad. A forward, Berry saw action in three contests for the Eagles in 2012, making appearances against Harvard (9/9), Longwood (9/30) and New Hampshire (10/14). Prior to beginning her collegiate career, Berry was invited to play in the Futures Elite Championship by USA Field Hockey and also earned a bid to the National Field Hockey Championships.
Izzie Delario, one of the nine freshmen, joined the program as an early enrollee for the spring 2013. A native of Rehoboth Beach, Del., Delario was a member of the U17 U.S. Junior National Team in 2012 and also competed at the U.S. Futures Elite. A member of the storied Cape Henlopen High School program, she led her scholastic team to a 72-3-0 record during her four-year career.
Delario marks one of four newcomers who participated in the Futures Elite and National Futures Championship system, including Katie Clark, Nicole Miller and Shauna Rankin-Byrne. Clark also tallied all-region and all-Liberty District honors while tallying the most goals among any midfielder in Liberty District with 14. Miller joins Clark as an accomplished offensive player, as the Washington, N.J., native finished 10th in the state with 79 points on 25 goals and 29 assists as a senior. Rankin-Byrne could see time on either side of the field as the two-time NFHCA All-Region and all-state honoree is capable of playing defense and forward.
Hannah Farrell, a 5-foot-11 back from Carlisle, England, will also bolster the defense. Farrell was selected to play for the North of England High Performance Team in the Futures Cup and was a regional performer for Durham from 2010-13. Farrell is one of three international student-athletes to join the program in 2013, including Cliodhna Loughlin (Dublin, Ireland) and Charlotte Verelst (Braine l'Alleud, Belgium), who play defense and midfield. Loughlin was part of the Railway Union team that won Irish Hockey League, Senior Cup and Jacqui Potter Cup titles. Verelst is a veteran of the Belgium National Program, with appearances on the U15, U16, U18 and U21 teams, including a spot with the squad at the 2013 Junior World Cup.
Another talented scorer adds to the Minutewomen offense in Hailey Cockrum, who finished her final scholastic season at Wilson High School with 24 points on five goals and 14 assists. The all-state and all-country honoree was also awarded her division's MVP award prior to arriving at UMass.
Goalkeeper Emily Hazard rounds out the 2013 class. The 5-foot-8 Minutewomen freshman led Mountain Vista High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo., to a 2012 state championship behind 117 stops and a .900 save percentage as a senior. For her efforts, Hazard tallied all-America, all-state and all-west regional player of the year laurels while also taking home first team all-conference.

Ben Walnum gets acquainted with the public sector as an intern for Washington County's Department of Land Use and Transportation.
It started with a trickle. An early retirement here. A few resignations there. Even more have given their notices. In a few short years, the public sector will bleed out. The baby boomers—the largest generation alive—are set to retire, to be replaced by the nation's smallest: Generations X and Y.
"We're seeing a real crisis in numbers right now, and it's only going to get worse," says Heidi Voorhees, president of management consulting firm The PAR Group. Based in Lake Bluff, Ill., the firm serves local governments nationwide. "So far, we're seeing shortages of front-line supervisors, finance officers, and public works directors—particularly those with PEs."
And that's just the beginning. The more technical the field, the greater the shortage will be. The endangered list includes engineering, senior leadership, and utility-journeyman positions.
Last June, when managers gathered during the American Water Works Association's annual conference to discuss industry issues, the conversation turned to the aging workforce.
"I see a train coming," said Peter Merlo, principal engineer with Buffalo, N.Y.'s Division of Water. "I wish we had better programs in place to get more people into this industry."
Honolulu Board of Water Supply Manager and Chief Engineer Clifford Lum said he's having more difficulty finding young engineers to fill vacancies in his department. They seem to want more than what the department has to offer.
"Young professionals don't have 'I want to save the world' values," he explained. "They want benefits, growth, incentives, advancement. Old-timers think of it as instant gratification and are taken aback. They don't want to train someone who will leave in a few years."
The managers agreed that although younger professionals are looking for meaning in their work, above all they want work-life balance. To attract—and keep—the next generation of employees, public agencies must change with the workforce.
According to Voorhees, this means reexamining existing benefits and policies.

Israeli democracy & elections
Political structure
Israel is a parliamentary democracy, consisting of legislative, executive and judicial branches. Its institutions are the Presidency, the Knesset (parliament), the Government (cabinet), the Judiciary and the State Comptroller.
The system is based on the principle of separation of powers, with checks and balances, in which the executive branch (the government) is subject to the confidence of the legislative branch (the Knesset) and the independence of the judiciary is guaranteed by law.
The President
in Hebrew, bears the ancient title of the head of the sanhedrin, the supreme legislative and judicial body of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel in ancient times. He is the head of state and his office symbolizes the unity of the state, above and beyond party politics.
Presidential duties, which are mostly ceremonial and formal, are defined by law. Amongst his formal functions are the opening of the first session of a new Knesset; accepting the credentials of foreign envoys; signing treaties and laws adopted by the Knesset; appointing judges, the governor of the Bank of Israel and heads of Israel's diplomatic missions abroad, on the recommendation of the appropriate bodies; and pardoning prisoners and commuting sentences, on the advice of the minister of justice. In addition, the president performs public functions and informal tasks which include citizens' appeals, lending prestige to communal and social associations, and strengthening public actions such as the fight against road accidents.
The president is elected by a simple majority of the Knesset from among candidates nominated on the basis of their personal stature and contribution to the state. The president is elected for one term of seven years.
The Knesset
is the parliament of the State of Israel; its main function is to legislate. It took its name and fixed its membership at 120 from the knesset hagedolah (great assembly), the representative Jewish body convened in Jerusalem by Ezra and Nehemiah in the 5th century BCE.
A new Knesset begins to function after general elections, which determine its composition. In the first session, which is opened by the president, the Knesset members declare their allegiance, and the speaker of the Knesset and his deputies are elected.
The Knesset operates in plenary sessions and through its committees. In plenary sessions, general debates are conducted on government policy and activity, as well as on legislation. Debates are conducted in Hebrew, but members may speak Arabic, as both are official languages; simultaneous translation is available.
A bill may be presented by an individual Knesset member, a group of Knesset members, the Government as a whole or a single Minister. When a Ministry initiates a bill, a memorandum on the proposed law is passed to the Ministry of Justice for comment on its legal aspects, to the Ministry of Finance for economic and budgetary review, and to the rest of the Government Ministries for their remarks. If the memorandum is approved, the bill is passed on for formulation towards its being presented to the Knesset, and approval by the Government. Private members' bills do not require Government approval.
The bill is presented to the plenary for a first reading, and a short debate on its contents. It is then referred to the appropriate Knesset Committee for detailed discussion and redrafting, if necessary. The bill is returned to the plenary for a second reading, presentation of reservations by committee members, and a general review. If, thereafter, it is not found necessary to return the bill to the committee, a third reading takes place, at which a vote on the bill is taken.
The Knesset is elected for a tenure of four years, but may dissolve itself or be dissolved by the prime minister before the end of its term. Until a new Knesset is formally constituted following elections, full authority remains with the outgoing one.
The Government (cabinet of ministers) is the executive authority of the state, charged with administering internal and foreign affairs, including security matters. Its policy-making powers are very wide and it is authorized to take action on any issue which is not delegated by law to another authority. Like the Knesset, the government usually serves for four years, but its tenure may be shortened if the prime minister is unable to continue in office due to death, resignation or impeachment, when the government appoints one of its members (who is a Knesset member) as acting prime minister. In the case of a vote of no-confidence, the government and the prime minister emain in their positions until a new government is formed.
Forming the government - Following consultations, the president presents one Knesset member with the responsibility of forming a government. To do so, the Knesset member has to present, within 28 days of being given the responsibility for forming a government, a list of ministers for Knesset approval, together with an outline of proposed government guidelines. Once approved, the ministers are responsible to the prime minister for the fulfillment of their duties and accountable for their actions to the Knesset. Most ministers are assigned a portfolio and head a ministry; others serve without a portfolio but may be called upon to take responsibility for special projects. The prime minister may also serve as a minister with a specific portfolio.
All the ministers must be Israeli citizens and residents of Israel; they need not be Knesset members, but a majority usually are. Ministers, with the approval of the prime minister and the governmment, may appoint a deputy minister in their ministry; all deputy ministers must be Knesset members.
The government determines its own working and decision making procedures. It usually meets once a week but additional meetings may be called as the need arises. The government may also act by means of ministerial committees.
To date, all governments have been based on coalitions of several parties, since no party has received enough Knesset seats to be able to form a government by itself.
The Judiciary
- The absolute independence of the judiciary is guaranteed by law. Judges are appointed by the president, upon recommendation of a special nominations committee, comprised of supreme court judges, members of the bar and public figures. Judges' appointments are for life, with a mandatory retirement age at 70.
Magistrates' and district courts exercise jurisdiction in civil and criminal cases, while juvenile, traffic, military, labor and municipal appeal courts each deal with matters coming under their competence. There is no trial by jury in Israel.
In matters of personal status such as marriage, divorce, and maintenance, guardianship and the adoption of minors, jurisdiction is vested in the judicial institutions of the respective religious communities: the rabbinical court, the Moslem religious courts (sharia courts), the religious courts of the Druze and the juridical institutions of the nine recognized Christian communities in Israel.
The supreme court, located in Jerusalem, has nationwide jurisdiction. It is the highest court of appeal on rulings of lower tribunals. In its function as a high court of justice, the supreme court hears petitions against any government body or agent, and is the court of first and last instance.
Although legislation is wholly within the competence of the Knesset, the supreme court can and does call attention to the desirability of legislative changes; sitting as the high court of justice, it has the authority to determine whether a law properly conforms with the Basic Laws of the state.
Basic Laws
- Israel has no formal constitution. However, most chapters of the prospective constitution have already been written, and enacted as Basic Laws.
The Basic Laws are adopted by the Knesset in the same manner as other legislation. Their constitutional import is derived from their nature and, in some of them, from the inclusion of "entrenched clauses" which require a special majority to amend.
The State Comptroller and Ombudsman
- The state comptroller carries out external audit and reports on the legality, regularity, economy, efficiency, effectiveness and moral integrity of the public administration in order to assure public accountability. Israel recognized the importance of state audit in a democratic society and in 1949 enacted a law establishing the state comptroller's office. Since 1971, the state comptroller also fulfills the function of ombudsman, and serves as an address for any person to submit complaints against state and public bodies which are subject to the audit of the comptroller.
The state comptroller is elected by the Knesset in a secret ballot for a seven-year term of office. The comptroller is responsible only to the Knesset, is not dependent upon the government, and enjoys unrestricted access to the accounts, files and staff of all bodies subject to audit. The comptroller carries out his/her activities in contact with the Knesset state audit affairs committee.
The scope of state audit in Israel is among the most extensive in the world. It includes the activities of all government ministries, state institutions, branches of the defense establishment, local authorities, government corporations, state enterprises, and other bodies or institutions declared subject to audit.
In addition, the state comptroller has been empowered by law to inspect the financial affairs of the political parties represented in the Knesset: political parties election campaign accounts, as well as current accounts are audited. When irregularities are found, monetary sanctions are imposed.
Knesset elections are general, national, direct, equal, secret and proportional, with the entire country constituting a single electoral constituency. On election day, voters cast one ballot for a political party to represent them in the Knesset.
Because of the importance attributed to the democratic process, election day is a holiday. Free transportation is available to voters who happen to be outside their polling districts on this day, and special arrangements are made to enable military personnel and Israelis on assignments abroad, to vote.
A central elections committee, headed by a justice of the supreme court and including representatives of the parties holding seats in the Knesset, is responsible for conducting the elections. Regional election committees oversee the functioning of local polling committees, which include representatives of at least three parties in the outgoing Knesset.
Knesset elections are based on a vote for a party rather than for individuals, and the many political parties which compete for election to the Knesset reflect a wide range of outlooks and beliefs.
Israelis take a great interest in the political scene, both in internal affairs and security as well as in foreign relations. In all elections to the Knesset so far, some 77-87 per cent of eligible voters cast their ballots for one of the many political parties running for the Knesset. To every Knesset 10-15 parties have been elected, and in the course of every Knesset, factions have both split and united.
Prior to the elections, each party presents its platform, and the list of candidates for the Knesset, in order of precedence. The parties select their candidates for the Knesset in primaries or by other procedures.
Parties represented in the outgoing Knesset can automatically stand for re-election; other parties may present their candidacy by obtaining the signatures of 2,500 eligible voters and depositing a bond, which is refunded if they succeed in receiving at least one and one half percent of the national vote, entitling them to one Knesset seat.
Knesset seats are assigned in proportion to each party's percentage of the total national vote. A party's surplus votes, which are insufficient for an additional seat, are redistributed among the various parties according to their proportional size resulting from the elections, or as agreed between parties prior to the election.
An allocation funding the expenses of election campaigns is granted to each party from public funds, based on its number of seats in the outgoing Knesset. New parties receive a similar allocation retroactively for each member elected. The state comptroller reviews the disbursement of all campaign expenditures.
Every citizen is eligible to vote from age 18 and to be elected to the Knesset from age 21. The president, the state comptroller, judges and senior public officials, as well as the chief-of-staff and high-ranking military officers, are disqualified from presenting their candidacy, unless they have resigned their position at least 100 days before the elections.

For the second time in less than two months, a major state IT outsourcing initiative is the target of a critical state auditor's report.
On Tuesday, Oct. 13, Virginia's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee released a withering assessment of progress under Virginia's 10-year, $2.3 billion contract with Northrop Grumman to run the state's computers, servers, e-mail systems and help desk services. That review comes on the heels of a similar audit in Texas that criticized the state's Department of Information Resources for lax oversight of an $863 million data center consolidation initiative that was outsourced to IBM.
The Virginia report acknowledges that Northrop Grumman invested nearly $300 million in new IT infrastructure and built two new data centers since the outsourcing contract began in 2006. But auditors said inadequate planning and poor understanding of agency needs by the vendor have delayed the initiative and disrupted key services.
Virginia's contract with Northrop Grumman required the vendor to complete 59 transformation projects by July 2009. Only 32 have been completed thus far, according to the committee's report. Auditors also noted that the transformation initiative disrupted business operations for state agencies, including communications outages for public safety and help-desk deficiencies at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
In a written response to the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, Northrop Grumman said the report puts too much blame on the company for the problems. Characterizing the outsourcing arrangement as a "partnership," the letter says Northrop Grumman and the state share responsibility for making the initiative work.
"The interim report correctly calls out the challenges and risks with partnerships versus traditional contract relationships, so it is appropriate, then, to view the work of all the partners simultaneously. Therefore the criticism of due diligence, planning, missed milestones and overall transformation delays, absent the full context of VITA [Virginia Information Technologies Agency] and agency participation yields an imbalanced view of the shared responsibilities and performance," wrote Tom Shelman, vice president and general manager for the Civil Systems Division of Northrop Grumman Information Systems
The letter adds that many of the shortcomings listed in the committee's report already are being addressed through a corrective action plan submitted in August.
Long, Hot Summer
Tuesday's audit report is the latest indication of problems for the Virginia outsourcing initiative, which is one of the most comprehensive in the nation. In June, Virginia CIO Lem Stewart was fired from his position as director of VITA after he questioned a multimillion dollar invoice from Northrop Grumman. Stewart was replaced in August by software executive George Coulter.
In a letter to the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, Coulter said the report accurately captures the "history, progress and challenges of modernizing Virginia's IT infrastructure."
"This report will be helpful in addressing my top priorities of enhancing customer service, getting the IT infrastructure program with Northrop Grumman back on track and reducing costs," Coulter said. "That work already is under way. However, I understand there is much more to do, and look forward to reviewing in detail the recommendations in the report."
Tough Work
Paul W. Taylor, former deputy CIO for Washington state and current chief strategy officer of the Center for Digital Government, said Virginia's experience underscores the difficulty of large infrastructure modernization projects, regardless of whether the work is done by a contractor or in-house.
