Tiffany Meeks Named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week
April 23, 2012
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - Massachusetts sophomore Tiffany Meeks was named the Atlantic 10 Conference Softball Player of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday.

Meeks drove in four runs against SJU on Friday and hit her second-career grand slam to put Sunday's win over Temple into a mercy-rule situation. She reached base in all four games and raised her batting avg. by 62 points.
UMass (25-11, 11-0 A-10), which has won nine-consecutive games, returns to action on Tuesday when it plays host to Rhode Island (18-27-1, 2-9-1). The doubleheader at the UMass Softball Complex is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m.
Heidi Penna of George Washington was named the league's Pitcher of the Week and Lauren Renson of SJU was named the Rookie of the Week.

I bought this kettle to replace a similar sized one because my previous kettle gave a metalic taint to the water. I had looked at it several times but had thought it rather expensive. There are several outlets on the internet selling the kettle but Outdoor Mega Store were the cheapest. I tested the two kettles side by side with each containing 500ml of water. The Vango kettle reached boiling 2mins before my old kettle. This may not seem a lot but is probably a 20% improvement, and no metalic taste!@Ant Vango cooking accessories are always well designed and operate really well in the field.

Edited for better description
I have a rather specific problem while using an old internally developed application at my work.
I need to attach a file, but the application only has a scan functionality, not file attach. Changes to the application is unfortunately not possible.
So the only way to "attach" files now, is by printing the file and then scan it - in the long run this isn't all that smart.
So my question is - are there any program/driver, that adds a "fictive" printing driver that doesn't actualy scan but instead prompts for a file? (somewhat like PDFCreator adds a fictive printing driver that doesn't actually print)
Or do you think it's so specific that no one has bothered to make such a driver/program?

Quote #10
Die, die, Lavinia, and thy shame with thee;
And, with thy shame, thy father's sorrow die!
What hast thou done, unnatural and unkind? (5.3.5)
The audience is shocked when Titus kills his own daughter, an act that does indeed seem "unnatural and unkind." Why does he do it? According to Titus, Lavinia could never survive the "shame" of being raped. What's more, Titus can't stand looking at his daughter without feeling "sorrow," so it seems that he kills her for very selfish reasons.

text: Jan 5, 2013 19:09 Political Horizons for July 16, 2011 Political Horizons for July 16, 2011 MARK BALLARD| Advocate columnist Aug. 14, 2011; 10:03 a.m. Comments Gov. Bobby Jindal signed the last of the bills from the 2011 regular legislative session last week, marking the official end of the season. It's like the day after Thanksgiving, when all that Pilgrim stuff can be dumped so that halls can be decked for the upcoming Christmas season. In the world of Louisiana politics, 'tis the season to jockey for elective offices. Usually the star of the season is the race for governor. But that may not gel this year. Instead, the six other offices elected in statewide races are abuzz with activity in the weeks leading to the official sign-up, known as qualifying, Sept. 6-8. Old hands, such as House Speaker Jim Tucker, R-Terrytown; Senate President Joel Chaisson II, D-Destrehan; and Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources Scott Angelle, are said to be flirting with the idea of challenging incumbents for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer, as well as commissioners for insurance and agriculture. Newer faces, such as Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser; state Rep. Walker Hines, R-New Orleans; and New Orleans lawyer Caroline Fayard, also are looking to draw voters on Oct. 22 for their bids to statewide office. Usually the incentive to vote — rather than hunt or tailgate — is provided by the top of the ballot, where Jindal stands without formidable opponents, at least for now. Recently released polls show Jindal's favorable ratings — "Do you like the governor?" — at just over 50 percent of the sample questioned, while his "re-elect" numbers — "Will you vote for him again?" — are in the 30s. Jindal's pollsters probably are getting much higher numbers but the campaign isn't sharing those results publicly. State Sen. Rob Marionneaux,D- Grosse Tete, said Friday he wants to run his own poll to see if Jindal is as unpopular with voters as Marionneaux suspects, based on comments he has heard from teachers, state employees and others. A poll finding that 40 percent to 50 percent of the state's voters have a favorable opinion of Jindal would translate into vulnerability, Marionneaux said. With $5 million to $7 million and 90 days, he said, an aggressive candidate could make the race close. If the polling and the money stars align by the beginning of August, Marionneaux said he would be that candidate. Jindal's campaign finance reports released in April showed a $9.5 million war chest. The reports also indicate that he continues to hire a handful of firms staffed by slick politicos who got their start with Haley Barbour or the Republican National Committee that the current Mississippi governor once headed. These professionals handle Jindal's in-depth polling and strategy. They produce the soft-focus television commercials in which Jindal promises not to raise taxes, and they print handbills in which Jindal boasts of protecting the future of Louisiana's children. Jindal's campaign finance reports show that he also is continuing to use the technique called "micro polling," which merges consumer and social databases with voting records, from which Jindal can target a specific message to a specific group of voters likely to hold similar views on issues. Evidence would suggest that Jindal does better when he has an adversary. For instance, in May, Jindal flailed away at phantom legislators he claimed were hell-bent on passing tax increases. Jindal's top aide, Timmy Teepell, said last week the governor would prefer competition in October, but acknowledged Jindal may not get a formidable opponent. If that's the case, Jindal would continue to campaign for re-election but also would spend a lot time and money helping candidates for the Legislature, Teepell said. Teepell, who earlier this month stepped down from running Jindal's day-to-day government operation to handle his re-election campaign, said the governor wants to help elect legislators who share his vision of "conservative reform." Will the down-ballot races be enough to attract voters on a hunting and football weekend? In October 2007, Jindal polled 699,275 votes — or 54 percent of those cast in a competitive race. But only 46 percent of the state's 2.8 million registered voters took the time. That means Jindal was the choice of only one of every four voters in 2007. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

By definition, $$f_{X,Y}(x,y)=f_X(x)\cdot f_{Y\mid X}(y\mid x)=\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}}\mathrm e^{-(x-\mu)^2/(2\sigma^2)}\cdot\frac1{\sqrt{2\pi t^2}}\mathrm e^{-(y-ax-b)^2/(2t^2)} $$ Hence the task is to solve for $M$ in $\mathbb R^2$ and $C$ a definite positive $2\times2$ matrix, the fact that for every $z=(x,y)^t$, one has the identity $$ f_{X,Y}(z)=\frac1{2\pi\sqrt{\det C}}\mathrm e^{-\frac12(z-M)^tC^{-1}(z-M)}. $$ Hints: note that the diagonal of $C^{-1}$ is $(1/\sigma^2+a^2/t^2,1/t^2)$ and that $M=(\mu,a\mu+b)^t$. The rest of the proof relies on some simple algebraic manipulations of a degree $2$ polynomial in $(x,y)$.

THE SUPREME COURT: SUPREME COURT ROUNDUP; Police Questioning Allowed To the Point of Coercion
By LINDA GREENHOUSE
Published: May 28, 2003
WASHINGTON, May 27— The Supreme Court ruled today that police questioning in the absence of Miranda warnings, even questioning that is overbearing to the point of coercion, does not violate the constitutional protection against compelled self-incrimination, as long as no incriminating statements are introduced at the suspect's trial.
But a person subjected to such questioning can still bring a civil suit against the police for damages for violating the Constitution's guarantee of due process, the court ruled. These two conclusions were expressed in a fractured set of opinions that reflected an intense struggle among the justices to resolve the issues raised by a suit against a police officer in Oxnard, Calif., who persisted in questioning a gravely wounded suspect in his hospital bed despite the suspect's cries of pain and pleas to stop.
The suspect, Oliverio Martinez, was involved in a police shooting that left him blind and paralyzed. He is also suing the Oxnard police for excessive force in the 1997 incident.
As a result of the shifting coalitions on the court that produced tenuous majorities without a single majority rationale for any proposition, Mr. Martinez will be able to pursue a civil rights suit against the officer, Ben Chavez, on 14th Amendment due process grounds, although not on the basis of the Fifth Amendment's right against compelled self-incrimination. How much practical difference the distinction makes remains to be seen.
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who along with Justices John Paul Stevens and Ruth Bader Ginsburg said both bases for suit should be available, wrote in a separate opinion that Mr. Martinez might receive ''much of the essential protection'' from the due process suit he can now pursue as he could from the Fifth Amendment suit he initially sought.
The decision, Chavez v. Martinez, No. 01-1444, overturned a ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, that had permitted the suit to proceed on both constitutional claims. As the appeal came to the Supreme Court last year, it appeared to present a rather straightforward issue, whether the Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination can be said to be violated when there has been no prosecution and no official use of any incriminating statements.
But the case turned out to be considerably more complex. Argued on Dec. 4, it was the oldest undecided case on the court's docket, for reasons that became apparent as Justice Clarence Thomas announced the result this morning. There were majority judgments but no majority opinion supporting them; instead, six justices wrote opinions that, when patched together, produced a result.
''So you can see I'm a consensus builder,'' Justice Thomas said with a wry smile when he finished providing an oral road map of what had become of the case to which Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist had assigned him.
Along with the chief justice and Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Antonin Scalia, Justice Thomas found that ''a violation of the constitutional right against self-incrimination occurs only if one has been compelled to be a witness against himself in a criminal case.'' He added that ''the absence of a 'criminal case' in which Martinez was compelled to be a 'witness' against himself defeats his core Fifth Amendment claim.''
Justices David H. Souter and Stephen G. Breyer largely agreed with this conclusion, voicing their concern in a separate opinion that a contrary conclusion could leave the police liable for civil damage suits for any failure to give Miranda warnings. There were therefore six votes to reject the self-incrimination aspect of the suit.
Justices Kennedy, Stevens and Ginsburg vigorously disagreed. ''Our cases and our legal tradition establish that the self-incrimination clause is a substantive constraint on the conduct of the government, not merely an evidentiary rule governing the work of the courts,'' they said in a dissenting opinion by Justice Kennedy.
Justice Thomas, joined only by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice Scalia, also voted to reject the due process aspect. Saying, ''There is no evidence that Chavez acted with a purpose to harm Martinez by intentionally interfering with his medical treatment,'' Justice Thomas said the questioning was justified by the urgency of the situation and did not violate due process. He noted that there was a ''risk that key evidence would have been lost if Martinez had died without the authorities ever hearing his side of the story.''
According to a tape of the questioning, Mr. Martinez said several times that he was dying and begged the officer to leave him alone.
Five justices voted to permit the due process suit to proceed. Justice Stevens said in a separate opinion that the questioning was close to torture and would have ruled for Mr. Martinez on that basis. But he agreed with the other four to let the Ninth Circuit consider the question in a remand.
This meant a 5-to-3 vote to keep the due process question open, and it left Justice O'Connor unaccounted for in this part of the case.

Blackberry Playbook Hands-On at CES 2011
Certainly the Blackberry Playbook, the very first venture for the Canadian company out into the tablet world, had some of the most hype going into the CES 2011 show. After all, for a company that has spent the last 2 years stuck in the past, it's good to see RIM starting to branch out and embrace the actual future.
So I was excited to have a go at the Blackberry Playbook and play around with the brand new never-before-used QNX OS that Blackberry has invested so much into setting up. And I think it looks great, after using it for a few minutes. And much like the Motorola Xoom, the Playbook is definitely drool-worthy: dual-core 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM, seamless multitasking, support for Flash, HTML 5 and Adobe Air, as well as dual cameras and 7″ 1024×600 capacitive touchscreen.
I loved how easy the Playbook was to carry around. It actually felt more portable than the Galaxy Tab, which is saying a lot. It felt thinner, at 10.16 mm compared to 12 mm for the Galaxy Tab. So overall it really is a smaller device, but doesn't sacrifice screen space or functionality in the process. Needless to say, I'm definitely looking forward to playing with it more as it becomes available.
The Playbook will be available sometime in Q1 2011 as a Wi-Fi only version, and then will come to Sprint with 4G this summer.
Here's a video and some pics of the Playbook in action.

Nokia gives N900 official launch in Taiwan, teases with info on upcoming Symbian 3 and MeeGo devices
While you might have had your hands on the Maemo-based Nokia N900 for quite some time now, it was only recently launched in Taiwan and will be made available in several other places fairly soon. On May 10, Nokia launched the Nokia N900 in the Taiwanese market and has priced it at NT$22,100 or about US$697.
As you may already know, the Nokia N900 is one of Nokia's latest high-end smartphones, and it runs Maemo instead of Symbian, while offering most of the niceties people have come to expect from a product made by the Finnish giant. These include a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, built-in full QWERTY keyboard and 3.5-inch resistive touchscreen LCD screen.
Not a lot of details related to this launch were made available, although upon reporting about it, DigiTimes mentions that Nokia is going to unveil high-end devices based on Symbian 3 and MeeGo in the second half of 2010. This is according to industry sources they are referencing, which have mostly been correct about market forecasts in the past.

The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) now has
new research, resources and practical solutions to workplace ergonomic
problems as close as a mouse click away. The agency, which regulates workplace
safety for the majority of workers in Oregon, launched a new Web-based
resource on November 1st to provide Oregon's employers and workers with
the latest recommendations and industry-specific information.
Ergonomics is the science of adapting the work environment to meet the
needs of the worker.Ergonomics has gained the most attention surrounding
office injuries and repetitive-motion injuries on assembly lines. The
challenge for people like Mark Noll, ergonomics consultant for Oregon
OSHA, is convincing workers in other industries that they are also faced
with ergonomic problems. "When we work with safety committees and
ask them where have you heard about ergonomics, the first thing they say
is we heard about carpal-tunnel syndrome with office workers," says
Noll. "Then when you start sharing with them the injury problems
in their industries, like back strains and sprains, they're surprised
to find out it really does apply to their workplace, too."
The Web site, available through Oregon OSHA's home page, www.orosha.org,
offers ergonomic research and solutions for the construction industry,
healthcare, agriculture, wood products industry, general industrial settings
and office environments. In 2000, almost 26 percent of the 1.7 million
Americans injured at work were service sector workers with injuries related
to muscle, nerve or tendon damage. In Oregon, one-fifth of the 24,645
workers' compensation accepted disabling claims in 2001 were due to back
strains and sprains. Practicing good ergonomics can increase work productivity
by reducing down-time caused by worker injuries, stress and fatigue.
Some of the back injuries paid out in workers' compensation claims result
from working in what ergonomists like Noll call "awkward postures"
where the human body is extended for a period of time. "Those occur
when working very low off the floor," says Noll, "The worker
is bending and working off the floor, or working too high, say at above
shoulder height. Employers can walk through their workplaces and have
an eye for those situations where people will do a lot of bending, a lot
of reaching or working too high. If the employer can figure out ways to
just get the objects closer to the worker, that goes a long way in reducing
the risk of injuries."
Ergonomic losses can add up quickly for a small business. Depending on
the industry, workers' compensation claims can average between eight and
thirteen thousand dollars per claim in direct costs for lost-time disability
medical costs.
The Web site makes it easy for employers to find "real world tested"
solutions for injury problems. The "Ergonomics
for Construction" page provides analysis of frequent injuries
which occur on Oregon construction sites, an ergonomics checklist (in
English and Spanish) to survey for hazards, key questions to ask during
the preplanning process, and how to identify hazards in specialized applications
such as concrete work, utility placement, mechanical systems, residential
construction, drywall installation and masonry. Oregon OSHA's "Wood
Products Ergonomics" page features detailed reports on frequent
injuries reported by logging operations, saw and planing mills, and related
wood products industries. This page offers a number of solutions to address
potential repetitive motion injuries that exist in log scaling, circular
blade handling, debarkers, trim saws, conveyors and many other wood products
Training is an important part of improving ergonomic conditions. The Web
site features information about the four ergonomics training courses (including
on-line course) offered by Oregon OSHA. Employers
can also request an
on-site evaluation from an Oregon OSHA ergonomics consultant directly
on the new Web page.
The Web site features numerous links to research sources in Oregon, Washington,
Canada and federal agencies including the U.S.
Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

New Orleans' uptown area of Magazine Street is about to get a complete transformation that is supposed to start early 2014. The city wants to put almost $13 million dollars into laying new road pavements, sidewalk repairs, new utility accesses, and other major renovations. This complete upgrade is supposed to stretch from Nashville Avenue all the way down to Leake Avenue.
"The first phase, from Nashville Avenue to Calhoun Street, will cost $4.7 million and begin construction at the start of 2015," according to the Uptown Messenger paper. It will then move onto to another renovation phase that will take on Calhoun Street to Leake Avenue. The renovation project is under creation down according to Mitch Landrieu's spokespeople.
Moving on even further uptown, The Audubon Commission has put in a request for funds as well to be invested in the repaving of the road that connects Audubon Zoo with the Riverview Park. These renovations will add a biking path and other amenities.
Audubon has been warned that Magazine Street may become one-way during the project, which will complicate the entrance to the zoo, but will ultimately be worth the difficulty, said Larry Rivarde, the executive vice president and managing director of the Audubon Nature Institute.
"We look forward to the inconvenience, because it needs to happen," Rivarde said.
Because of those plans, the Audubon Commission is reducing its own request for improvements along Magazine Street. The park had hoped for brick crosswalks, as a sort of gentle traffic calming measure. Although, the city's renovation plans do not include bricks, the Audubon Commission is wanting money to add them after the project is completed.
Audubon wants more landscaping lining Magazine Street, which would indicate to car traffic that they are on a road that is winding through a park. They would even like to eventually put up an archway entrance onto the path as a grand entrance welcoming everyone to the newly designed uptown area.

In his first season at the helm of the women's program six student-athletes that were named USTFCCCA All-Americans. Leading the way for the Bruins at the NCAA Championships was junior Kylie Price in the long jump, who placed third to earn her third straight All-America honor. Senior Natasha Kolbo capped off her Bruin career with a 13th place finish in the pole vault. Junior Zibby Boyer made her first NCAA meet appearance and earned All-America accolades by placing 17th in the high jump. Junior Alexis Walker was named an All-American in just her first season competing in the heptathlon. A pair of UCLA hurdlers also garnered All-American honors as Brea Buchanan and Trinity Wilson made the finals in the 100m hurdles at the NCAA meet. During the indoor campaign, a trio of Bruins earned USTFCCCA All-American honors. Ida storm was runner-up in the weight throw while Kelsey Smith placed 16th in the 3,000m and Kylie Price was 14th in the long jump.
Under his direction, the men's and women's 4x100m relay teams qualified for the NCAA meet while Jonny Moniz was a qualifier in the 400m. The hurdle duo of Brea Buchanan and Trinity Wilson made the NCAA finals in the 100m hurdles.
A former all-conference decathlete at UCLA, Johnson returns to his alma mater after 19 years as an assistant coach at USC, where he coached sprinters and served as the team's strength coach and recruiting coordinator. This past season, he helped lead USC sprinters Aaron Brown (100m, 200m) and Bryshon Nellum (200m) to three All-America honors. Johnson's sprinters went 1-2-3 (Nellum, Brown and Davonte Stewart) in the 200m, and 1-2 (Brown and BeeJay Lee) in the 100m at the 2013 Pac-12 Championships.
"What John Henry Johnson has done in the sprints and hurdles at USC is widely recognized. Reviving UCLA's strength in the sprints and hurdles legacy and tradition is something that is important to our team philosophy," said Maynard. "I'm excited about John Henry's abilities as a coach, leader, and his drive and ability as a recruiter. Throughout our combined careers we've competed head to head on the track, and the recruiting front. In my opinion, Coach Johnson is one of the finest coaches and recruiters in the NCAA. He follows fellow Bruin and our recently named head men's coach John Frazier back to UCLA. I am very pleased to repatriate another Bruin back into the UCLA family."
Johnson's recruiting prowess has been well-documented, as each of USC's last 17 men's and women's recruiting classes have been ranked among the best in the nation. Johnson recruited the No. 1 men's class in 2009 and the No. 1 women's class in 2006 and also nabbed Top 3 classes in 2012 (women), 2011 (women), 2010 (men), 2008 (women) and 2007 (men).
Johnson recruited to USC stars such as Nellum, Brown, Jerome Davis, Lionel Larry, Ahmad Rashad, Felix Sanchez, Denis Kholev, Charles Lee, Ryan Wilson and Julien Kapek on the men's side, and Angela Williams, Natasha Danvers, Brigita Langerholc, Grezyna Penc and Inga Stasiulionyte on the women's side. He has coached 24 All-Americans and guided a USC athlete to eight Pac-12 titles each in the 100m and 200m races.
A state champion in the decathlon at Long Beach City College in 1987, Johnson became an All-Pac-10 honoree at UCLA and a 7,000+ point scorer in the decathlon during his two-year Bruin varsity career (1989, 1990). He was a member of UCLA's 1988 NCAA Championship team as an injured redshirt junior. After graduating from UCLA with a degree in international relations in 1990, Johnson went on to serve as an assistant coach at Long Beach State from 1990-92, working with sprinters and throwers.
"I'd like to thank Mike Maynard and (Senior Associate Athletic Director) Glenn Toth for selecting me for this position," Johnson said. "That such a prestigious university would reach out to me and offer this opportunity is amazing, but being able to come back to my alma mater as a head coach is unbelievable."
"I was on some great teams here at UCLA and truly want to see the program at that level again, and I will work tirelessly toward that goal," Johnson continued. "Developing student-athletes is my life's work, and educating and graduating these talented students is our number one responsibility. I'm excited to get started."

A PET snake had to be rescued by firefighters after escaping from its tank and becoming trapped in the walls of a family home.
The four foot corn snake, called Cuddles, had slithered under the floorboards and into the wall cavities at the property in Arundel View, Jump.
A crew from Tankersley had to remove bricks from the outside of the property to free it.
A spokesman for the fire service said the family had recently moved in and Cuddles was able to get to the floorboards because there weren't any carpets down.
Cuddles was not injured.

At 18-years-old, you have no money. You have no game. Your life experience is limited to getting fired from a part-time gig at the driving range and totaling your mom's Saturn Ion junior year. In sum, you're a lost little douche who's still five or six years away from paying their own cell phone bill.
Besides a Facebook network and the freedom to butt chug, college offers an opportunity to reinvent yourself. For many an awkward, pigeonholed high school kid, the first day on campus is a chance to re-introduce themselves to the world. In most cases, this is an unfortunate occasion.
Grab a pencil and take notes, this is an important lesson on the 10 Types of Douchebags You Meet in College.
There's a new sheriff in town and at 22-years-old, he patrols the fifth floor of Morris Hall in sweatpants and a pair of worn Crocs and still expects to be taken seriously. When it comes to spotting red cups, this guy has a laser-like focus that's unrivaled. If you crank that Taylor Swift a decibel too loud, he's kicking down your door and serving your ass with a "quiet hours violation." When he's not on Brazzers.com in his deluxe dorm suite, he's following the faint stench of a bong hit through the halls like bloodhound in John Wayne Gacy's crawl space. If there's one thing this asthmatic virgin knows how to do, it's regulate.
There's something about incurable venereal diseases and exorbitant tuition costs that creates an unyielding devotion to college sports teams, especially for the jackass chock-full of school spirit. Look, your college is already charging you $100K for a worthless bachelor's degree, don't degrade yourself further by sporting a neon body sock in the bleachers and bragging about next year's "ridiculously talented recruit class." There's nothing more pathetic than being a groupie for teenage, amateur athletes. Get a grip, dude.
This is a Complex public service announcement. Before you rush a fraternity for philanthropic and beer funneling reasons, understand that you'll spend a semester getting hazed by a college senior who's two or three internships away from landing their first entry level job. Cleaning the vomit-soaked toilet at the Pike house with a toothbrush is hardly worth an invite to the Theta formal. Calling beers "sodies," having a membership at LA Tan, and an affinity for dubstep remixes are not becoming of a kid who got a 29 on their ACT. Also, khaki shorts don't always have to be paired with boat shoes. You're in college, bruh. Think outside of the box.
It's amazing how one introductory course in environmental science can turn a 20-year-old into an Biofuels expert. The problem with college kids is that they're ignorant to the browbeaten realities of living life in a cubicle and they have nothing but free time to get jacked up on MotherJones.com articles about oil companies. By your 29th birthday, you'll realize that you can't change the world, especially when your idea of "activism" is nodding along with like-minded bozos in a campus coffee shop.
The bar floors are sticky, the drinks are watered down, and the air is permeated with Axe body spray and petrified vomit. To the rest of the world, he's just a college town "lifer" who extracts tapeworms from keg lines for a living. But he can pull rank to get a free round Jello shots, and that makes him intensely popular with the Tri Delts. Universities boast Nobel Prize winners and Rhodes scholars, but none of them are as popular as the guy who can pull a group freezing Kappa Deltas to the front of the wrap-around line on "Thirsty Thursday." And that's pretty douchey.
There's a thin line between being a fun drunk and acting like an extra in a Ke$ha video. And that line is typically crossed while chasing a handful of Molly's with Skol Vodka out of the plastic bottle. You like to party, we get it. We just saw you gracelessly thrash about a fraternity basement to "Thrift Shop," pee behind an alley dumpster, and now you're crying on the phone with your high school boyfriend. After some regrettable drunk texting and a trip to the 24-hour Taco Bell, you'll vomit in a hamper and pass out. In the morning, all you'll have to show for yourself is a shattered iPhone screen and the sad realization that you're an enormous douchebag.
There's something about a khaki and polo combination that turns even the most delightful of people into instant douchebags. From Best Buy employees to dads on the golf course, and every high school football coach in between, pleats and a tuck-in are guaranteed to turn otherwise pleasant people into total cornballs.
The campus tour guide pounds a four-pack of Red Bull and tries to sell the college experience with scripted saccharine and hackneyed punchlines. After some lame team building activities and a few made up stories about campus life, you'll have a totally superficial idea of what it means to be a Spartan or a Wildcat or whatever strange animal is your prospective school's mascot.
Your college got a blue chip prospect. Finally. While you brag insufferably about this being "state's year!" this dude's going to be fleecing boosters and running a foul of NCAA regulations. After sleeping his way through a semester's worth of gen-ed's, leading your school to a 4th place finish in the NIT, and subsequently hocking his game-worn sneakers on eBay, the NCAA's Rule Committee is going to crater the program with crippling sanctions. While your school struggles to get back on its feet, this guy's cashing a game check in the league and Instagram-ing his bottle service receipts. It makes us sick just writing about him.
If you go to a large school, your professor will be too busy chasing grant money to be bothered with class. So you'll end up at the mercy of a frenzied graduate student who takes attendance and grades on a curve. Look at this guy. You can see a 40% fail rate in his eyes. Any guy brazen enough to pull off those glasses is definitely assigning a term paper over Spring Break. This can't be life.
There's something to be said for getting your sea legs in high school. If one goes into college with 18 year's worth of 8 p.m. curfews and nightly breathalyzers from their overbearing parents, all it takes is a few unsupervised nights in the dorm to turn the captain of the math team into a teenage version of David Lee Roth. This guy beer bongs and promptly projectile vomits his parents tuition money away. He texts every girl in his phone "What r u up 2?" at 1 a.m. nightly and brags about "getting totally wasted last night" like it's a unique accomplishment. After failing his first set of finals, he'll have to enroll in a community college near home and trade in his drunken, late night Chipotle runs for Sunday afternoon grocery trips to Costco with mom. We'd feel bad if it weren't so funny.

Opponents of health care overhaul highlight taxes in law, supporters push benefits
Mandate is not the only tax found within the health care law
Associated Press
With the Supreme Court upholding the individual mandate at the center of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul by calling it a tax, attention has turned to the law's price tag as opponents seek to highlight the costs of the Affordable Care Act.
"This is the largest tax increase on the poor and middle class in the history of this country," Rep. Jeff Landry, R-La., said Thursday from in front of the Supreme Court. He called for voters to repeal the tax at the ballot box in November.
The ruling puts the power back in the hands of the people, Rep. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., echoed during a news conference Thursday, and will allow Americans to decide between repealing and replacing the law through a Republican Congress and a Republican president, or keeping the law.
Either way, he said, the law was sold to Americans as a lie, with the Obama administration arguing to the people that it wasn't a tax before the bill passed, and arguing before the Supreme Court that it was a tax afterward.
"If Obamacare had been presented in the first place as a tax, I don't think it would have ever passed," DeMint said. "If Americans can see a tax, they're more likely to resist it."
Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion in the case, stating that the Affordable Care Act's requirement that certain individuals pay a financial penalty for not obtaining health insurance could be characterized as a tax. Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer voted to uphold the mandate under both the commerce clause and as a tax, while Justices Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas rejected the mandate entirely.
Utah Gov. Gary Herbert said Thursday that Obama argued the health care law was not going to require a tax increase, "Yet we find out today it is constitutional because it is a tax increase on everybody, including the middle class. The irony is kind of rich."
A Daily Caller article said that 75 percent of the mandate tax will fall on Americans earning less than $120,000 a year, with 21 percent falling on people who earn just above the poverty level, 25 percent on people who earn between two and three times the poverty level, 18 percent on people who earn between three and four times the poverty level, 11 percent on people who earn between four and five times the poverty level and 25 percent on people who earn more than five times the poverty level.
However, the mandate is not the only tax contained within the law.
Americans for Tax Reform listed some $500 billion-plus in tax hikes over the next ten years contained within the law, including the mandate. The hikes range from taxes that took effect in 2010, like the excise tax on charitable hospitals and the tax on indoor tanning services, to taxes that take effect in 2018, like the excise tax on comprehensive health insurance plans. The 2012-2013 list includes:
Employer reporting of insurance on W-2 (January 2012)
Surtax on investment income ($123 billion/Jan. 2013)
Hike in Medicare payroll tax ($86.8 billion/Jan. 2013)
Tax on medical device manufacturers ($20 billion/Jan. 2013)
Raise "haircut" for medical itemized deduction from 7.5 percent to 10 percent of AGI ($15.2 billion/Jan. 2013)
Flexible spending account cap ($13 billion/Jan. 2013)
Elimination of tax deduction for employer-provided retirement prescription drug coverage in coordination with Medicare Part D ($4.5 billion/Jan. 2013)
$500,000 annual executive compensation limit for health insurance executives ($0.6 billion/Jan. 2013)

Many women like to go for surgery to get better shaped boobs but many others prefer to increase breast size naturally. If you massage your breasts for around 20 to 30 minutes per day in a proper way(discussed below), and use some herbs in drinks, or creams or massage ointments then you can easily increase bust size to the best of their shapes. And the best part is, all it takes is just 30 days!
STEP-1. Rub your hands together with sufficient speed to make them warm. Now place them on the breasts.
STEP-2. Start moving your hand around the breasts in a circular motion making circles. Make sure that your one hand moves in clockwise direction and another hand moves in an anti-clockwise direction.
STEP-3. Do at least 250 such circular rubs, once in the morning and again before bedtime.
- Each circular rub should take about 2 seconds.
- Pause occasionally to rub your hands together to warm them up again.
Massaging is a natural way to increase breast size. Massaging plays two vital roles to natural breast enhancement. 1) It increases blood circulation. Due to this more and more blood flows into your breasts and the blood cells get ample opportunity to pick up all the vital nutrients needed for increasing breast size to the best of their natural shapes. 2) Another important benefit of massaging is the production of prolactine hormone. This hormone is very important to increase breast size.
In addition to above if you would like to use massage oil, then mix 9 drops of geranium oil with 16 drops of ylang ylang in a base of 50 ml of almond oil. Use this mixture while massaging or separately.This mixture is reported to have produced great results!
The above mentioned is a part of an ancient Taoist exercise. And this is how to increase the breast size naturally in 30 days!

Between June and November of 2009, I worked for the Bureau of Land Management in the Moab Field Office as their Fuels Monitoring Intern. During the weekends I explored the various landscapes and environments within the southern half of the state. In late August, a Pentax k20d dSLR camera came into my possession as late graduation present. With the exception of the cover (hence the poor quality), this book is a compilation of photographs I took while teaching myself digital photography with that camera. If the lack of subtitles on the following pages confuses you, I urge you to take an extended vacation to Utah and discover the stories within the images yourself.

Rumors have been swirling for months, and they have been distracting to the American sports world. In February, ratings for the Super Bowl were lackluster. March Madness? An afterthought. Sports fans around the country all seem to be asking the same question... "What is going on between TennisRecruiting.net and ESPN?"
"What can I say? We're very excited," said Dallas Oliver, Vice President of Business Development at TRN. "Things have been going well for us, and we were looking to expand through acquisition. We first thought about making a move for Zootennis, but our considerable market research determined that ESPN had the more recognizable brand."
ESPN, which launched in 1979 and has been recently valued at just a hair over $8 billion, was originally trying to remain an independent entity - but their management team saw the writing on the wall.
"It's not like we really had a choice," said ESPN President John Skipper. "Sure, we have ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPN8, ESPNU, ESPNews, ESPN Classic, ESPN Desportes, our 3D properties, ESPN Mobile, ESPN The Magazine, and the ESPN.com website. But TennisRecruiting has the Hot 100 and the TennisRPI. How are we supposed to compete with that?"
Both parties announced that the deal - whose financial terms have not yet been disclosed - will be finalized by the end of the day today, April 1, 2012.
The mood at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn. has been mixed. While some of the sportscasters are somber, others have expressed optimism about the new opportunities. When longtime anchor Scott Van Pelt was asked about the recent developments, he responded with enthusiasm.
"Honestly, I'm having a hard time containing my excitement," said Van Pelt. "I have always been a big fan of the athleticism and majesty of twelve-and-under tennis. I can't wait to hear Stuart Scott shout out 'Boo-yah!' on SportsCenter after a moonball winner."
As management of the Worldwide Leader in Sports moves south to Marietta, Ga., officials at TRN claim that they will not be making wholesale changes. However, there will likely be some tweaks.
The entire tennis community is excited about this breaking story. However, at press time today, April 1, 2012, officials from the USTA, WTT, ITA, ITF, NCAA, and John McEnroe all declined to comment.

Attention, Body-Obsessed: The Pump Is Now Dig Inn
For bodybuilders and Atkins gals, it's rough news.
Oh, the Pump. All the crash diets you've helped New Yorkers soldier through! And now things are changing? Maybe the name was a turnoff or the owner just wanted a fresh start, but the Pump Energy Food is being renamed Dig Inn Seasonal Market. According to Crain's, CEO Adam Eskin "spent three years tinkering with the formula for the 13-year-old fast-casual chain. On Sept. 21, he'll unveil a new look and menu, which features all-natural proteins, local produce and 'a greater focus on flavor.'" Dishes sound more well-balanced (braised beef shoulder with sweet potato casserole) and still affordable. However, with an emphasis on real food, there's nothing too eating-disorderly about it anymore, which some might find terribly inconvenient. [Crain's]

New Hair
It was time for a new 'do. I was resorting to the ubiquitous ponytail daily and it was adding to my frump factor in a big way.
The last time I got my hair cut was back in November. I took Miss PD with me and bribed her with lollipops while the stylist earned her money chopping back my crazy mane.
I had a coupon for the haircut and style. It was quite reasonable at $20. The stylist listened to my directions exactly, which made me so happy!
Have a good day.

Rise, the third full-length from Danish outlaw death metal unit DEUS OTIOSUS is out now on CD and digital formats via Deepsend Records.
Deepsend has marked the occasion by streaming the album in its entirety. In their review, MetalAsFuck.net advises listeners "to play this album at full bore and you'll get the best out of it." Take heed and blow your speakers at deepsendrecords.bandcamp.com/album/rise.
In continuing their path towards a blackened totality, DEUS OTIOSUS have achieved a sound that's distinctively their own on their newest effort. Rise unleashes an even heavier emphasis on their violent, thrashing attack while absolutely obliterating the mosh pit. A complete and utter, neck-snapping campaign of death, Rise features nine songs of godless, headbanging metal that will rip your face clean off. These insane Danes seek to Rise and dominate the masses and their new album is a leap forward in accomplishing this goal. Rise was recorded Fast Beat Studio, mixed at Earplug Studio, and mastered at Necromorbus Studio.

Celluloid Salutations
BlazeVOX, 2014
Paperback, 142 pages, $16
Celluloid Salutations is the second book by alumna Elizabeth Block (MFA Writing 2002, MFA 2003).
Juliana Spahr says: "It's all here: love, work, child. And the writing. Mainly the writing. It takes over all these other things and yet it is built out of all these things. This is how Elizabeth Block erases Elizabeth Block, as one poem claims. She does this automatically, animalistically, while wailing forward, gracefully and with improvisation.
Bill Berkson says: "Elizabeth Block's poetry moves through those 'layers of noise' we all contend with and goes a long way toward conquering by absorbing them. Page by page, the intervals, apparent blanks and interruptions between word clusters, vibrate tellingly with each tabulation of event, the actuality in and of the words as Block arranges them. Here is urgency and nuance. The matter never gets figured out we want it to we think all day long on. Take time to read this magnetic book.
The cover artwork is by noted CCA alumna Amanda Hughen (Graphic Design 1999).
Block won the Christopher Isherwood Foundation Fiction Fellowship for her first novel, A Gesture Through Time, which was fiscally sponsored by Intersection for the Arts. She was a Poets & Writers grantee for the presentation of new work at the Lab in San Francisco.
Block has won many other awards and residencies, including an award from Poets & Writers and another from the Djerassi Resident Artists Program Tread of Angels Fellowship. Her writing has appeared on stage, in film, in public art, in books, on audio CD and podcasts.
She is also a filmmaker whose film poems have traveled extensively throughout the United States and elsewhere. She has published work in many genres and in many journals, and her work has also appeared on the public radio stations KQED and KSFR. She often collaborates with musicians and visual artists.

The Dark Viscount
Deborah Simmons
October 2008, European Historical Romance (Regency)
Harl Historical #918, $5.99, 278 pages, Amazon ASIN 0373295189
Did you know we've granted Deborah Simmons DIK status 3 times?
After a much-too-long absence, Deborah Simmons returns with The Dark Viscount, a Regency-set tale with a gothic feel to it. I had very, very high hopes for this book since I count several of Simmons' tales, especially The Devil Earl and The Last Rogue, some of best historical romances ever. Alas, a hero and heroine who spend almost the entire book glowering at each other and a potentially exciting but very rushed ending made this only a slightly above average read.
Kit Marchant and his sister Sydony had a very happy childhood growing up next to the Viscount Hawthorne's family. Their kind, scholarly father gave them a good education and let them romp and play as much as they wanted to, and they took full advantage of it spending many happy hours with Bartholomew (Barto) Hawthorne, until he went away to Eton. When the Marchant siblings were in their early 20s, Mr. Marchant and Viscount Hawthorne were both killed in a carriage accident. Kit and Syd stayed on in their home until the lease payments got to be a bit too high. Happily for them, their great aunt, Elspeth Marchant left them her estate, Oakfield. Kit and Syd have great plans for Oakfield, until they actually see the place.
While not derelict, Oakfield is shabby and run down. The lands around it are fertile, but most of the tenants have left the farms, the house is shuttered and gloomy, and there are no servants in residence. When Kit and Syd try to hire some help, they find that residents of the town are afraid of Oakfield. Some don't mind working in the house, but no one wants to work outside and they are especially fearful of the great maze and giant oak tree that dominate the back of the house. They also discover that Elspeth had gone a bit mad in her last years and tried to burn most of the books in the library.
Almost at the Marchant's heels, Barto arrives at Oakfield. However, he is no longer their old companion. Barto is stiff, suspicious, and formal and this puts Syd off immediately. Barto has come to Oakfield in search of information about his father's death, which is connected with with one of the books that was in Elspeth Marchant's library, a book about the Druids. Barto's father was a member of a Masonic Druid group and the scholarly Mr. Marchant would have been interested in anything regarding British history, but should a book have been the cause of a carriage accident? They also discover that Ambrose Mallory, the man who built Oakfield, was a Druid, not one like Barto's father, but a real human-sacrificing Druid...and there are still people around who follow his ways.
This was another curate's egg book - parts of it were excellent. The description of Oakfield and its maze was very well done and quite spooky. Kit was a wonderful, sensible man and quite a change from the usual wastrel brother who drinks/wenches/gambles away the family fortune while leaving his sister destitute. Barto and Syd were (separately) quite likable and intelligent. It's when they get together that things go downhill.
Barto comes to Oakfield with a chip on his shoulder and a scowl on his face. He knows a little bit of information about his father's death and seems to think the Marchants are keeping secrets from him. There is much musing about "can I trust her?" on his part, while Syd fumes and feels that Barto is too high in the instep. Syd is also conflicted about a time when she kissed Barto, back when they were kids, and she feels guilty/aroused about it for some reason or another. I never quite got a hold on exactly why she felt that way. As for sexual tension between them.....well it's negated by their bad attitudes. Eventually they both realize that they love each other just in time for Syd to get abducted by a Druid who wants to practice augury with her entrails.
I can't help but feel that if The Dark Viscount was longer, it would have been a lot better. I think with a few more chapters, Deborah Simmons could have gone into more depth as to why Barto comes to Oakfield trailing Bad Attitude (evidently he had unresolved Issues with his father and he is jealous of the carefree and loving relationship Kit and Syd had with their father). I also wish we could have had some flashbacks to when they were all children and seen the dynamics Syd had with Barto and her brother.
Despite my problems with it, I had a mostly good time while reading this book. Deborah Simmons is a very fine writer with a smooth and engaging style and I have missed her books. I'd like to see Kit Marchant get his own story. He is such a nice guy that I think he'd make a wonderful beta hero.

Charles Koppelman, ex-chairman and former chief executive officer of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, set the courtroom on fire for his brief, yet eye-opening testimony Thursday morning.
The self professed "singer then songwriter" told the court that he got into the fashion business when he was approached by Steve Madden on a golf course in the late Nineties.
"In 1997, Steve asked me if he could borrow $3 million. I only played golf with him three times, so I thought that was a little extreme," said Koppelman matter-of-factly. Against the advice of his accountant, he lent Madden the money, which helped him get his brand off the ground.
Three years later, Koppelman was named chairman of the Steve Madden board, while Madden did jail time for securities fraud.
RELATED CONTENT: Martha Stewart's Moment on the Stand >>
Koppelman helped Madden's business flourish, and his status grew quickly. And then the mild-mannered Koppelman received a call from Martha Stewart. It was on the eve of her conviction in 2004 when Stewart asked the businessman for a meeting. They had only met a few times before, first at a birthday party, but that was sufficient. Koppelman invited her to his house a few days later, and she asked him to join the board as vice chairman and be a consultant for her company while she served jail time.
He quickly rose to chairman, having helped broker Martha Stewart's Home Depot deal and Pet Smart partnership. Koppelman also put together Stewart's Sirius Radio relationship, its Emeril Lagasse acquisition and a host of other deals, not to mention the Macy's partnership.
"In 2005, I thought the brand was in great shape as a brand. The company was not in great shape," Koppelman said, explaining that his goal was to grow MSLO's merchandising business.
The exec said he believed MSLO had — and still — has a "wide-range of opportunities," including international expansion and category expansion into "food, baking and healthy living."
RELATED CONTENT: Judge Talks Injuction at Macy's Trial >>
In 2005, MSLO's Robin Marino and Susan Lyne approached Macy's to work on developing a home goods business, but the deal was stalling, despite the fact that both Stewart and Macy's ceo Terry Lundgren were interested.
Koppelman, a personal friend of Lundgren, contact the ceo to see if he could move the needle.
"I stepped in to see why it was not happening. It was clear to me that Macy's wanted to make the deal and that Martha Stewart wanted to make the deal," he said. "I met Terry at Rao's restaurant when i thought this was becoming the never-ending saga…much like this [case] now."
Stewart had a partnership with Kmart, which netted more than $1 billion in sales. Stewart said she would let that partnership expire and move on with Macy's. Koppelman's goal was to try to replace the revenue lost from Kmart.
He said they were "hoping" Macy's would be a $500 million business and that Stewart's Home Depot business would contribute "a significant" share, as well. In court, it has been revealed that Stewart's Macy's business brings in $300 million a year.
In order to pump up sales, MSLO inked other partnerships that didn't interfere with the exclusivity clause in its Macy's contract. That included designing for other brands.
On cross-examination from MSLO lawyer Anne Beaumont, Koppelman said he "didn't think" MSLO needed to "ask permission" to design for other brands. In fact, MSLO was at one point in discussions with pop singers Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony to create home products within the Macy's exclusive categories.
Those talks fell through and Koppelman brought the pop duo to Lundgren, who inked a fragrance deal with Lopez.
But the point was that Koppelman was a loyal friend to Lundgren, Macy's lawyer Theodore Grossman explained, as he highlighted a widely-publicized incident with Wal-Mart Stores Inc.
In 2008, Wal-Mart featured Stewart in advertising with home wares in the background. That ruffled Lundgren's feathers, and Koppelman had the ads pulled even though a future relationship with the discounter would have been lucrative in the long run.
During his questioning, Grossman revealed that in 2011, MSLO, which was struggling financially, had formed a "strategic partnerships committee," which included MSLO board members Arlen Kantarian, Frederic Fekkai and Todd Slotkin. The committee, which was charged to evaluate new revenue streams for the company, hired Blackstone as a financial adviser.
Koppelman wasn't involved in the process and had already been succeeded by Stewart as chairman of the MSLO board. The committee, along with Stewart, the board of directors and Blackstone had begun talks with J.C. Penney Co. Inc. to sell Stewart-branded goods in shop-in-shops within its department stores.
"I wasn't involved in the J.C. Penney deal," said Koppelman, who said he told MSLO board members and Stewart that they should "offer Lundgren and Macy's the deal Penney's was proposing."
"They weren't interested in the proposition," Koppelman said.

Women spend much of their pregnancies staying up to date with important health information. They read current books, news articles and search the Internet high and low for the best advice. They closely question their care providers about which cheeses and fish are healthful and which are not. They ask for research on cold medications, epidurals and the health benefits of breastfeeding.
Women are powerful consumers of health care, and that need not stop at the door of labor and delivery. If you are hoping for a uncomplicated, vaginal delivery - be that drug free or not - you can boost your chances of success if you BRAND everything. BRAND is an acronym that helps you break down each and every procedure in labor and delivery, so that you remain a powerful decision makers, even when you are contracting hard at 9 centimeters and waiting to push your baby out.
Benefits: Ask for the benefits of each procedure, be that something that seems so basic as placing in IV drip of fluid, or something more aggressive such as adding a drug to that IV, such as Pitocin to strengthen your contractions.
Risks: Ask what the risks are for the procedure. If you think there might be risks, ask about them, for example, "Nurse, will an IV drip attached to a pole make it harder for me to walk around during my labor?"
Alternatives: What are the alternatives to this procedure? "Doctor, research shows that light eating and drinking during labor has no ill-effects. Is it possible I can stay hydrated by drinking fruit juice and water?"
Nothing: Doing Nothing must be considered as viable alternative in non-emergency situations. If you are concerned about the safety of a procedure meant to speed up your labor, but there is no medical need to have your baby sooner, just doing nothing and waiting for labor to speed up on its own is an option for you.
Decide: Once you have all the data, you need to decide, not your partner, not your doctor, but you. When you remain at the center of the decision making process you will feel safer, more secure and your birth will be more satisfying to you, no matter what you decide.
When you pack your bag to go to labor and delivery, stick an index card with BRAND written on it. It will be one of the most powerful tools in your overnight bag.

One of the many questions coming out of the Boston bombing has me perplexed, and at the same time somewhat thankful that it is being asked. Where on Earth did these seemingly normal happy little boys get themselves turned into vile evil Jihadists, seeking to target and kill as many innocent lives as they possibly could?
The question perplexes me because the answer is so obviously self evident, knowledge of it can only be avoided by a purposeful denial of the reality that we all live in, or as the product of the techniques in critical thinking taught at one of our nation's institutes of higher learning. I am thankful for the question's asking because it means that this time, we have another chance that some more Americans will finally accept reality and stop with the purposeful denial of the obvious.
The answer of course is that they were radicalized here in America, in one of the many mosques and or Madrassa schools that pock our fruited plains. In fact, they attended one that quite deservingly, has achieved a reputation of ill repute. As it happens, this particular Mosque, and in general the Islamic Society of Boston have run afoul of the law previously. Here's a short list, contained in the IBD article:
• Abdurahman Alamoudi, the mosque's founder and first president, who in 2004 was sentenced to 23 years in federal prison for plotting terrorism as al-Qaida's top fundraiser in America.
• Aafia Siddiqui, an MIT scientist-turned-al-Qaida agent, who in 2010 was sentenced to 86 years in prison for planning a New York chemical attack.
• Tarek Mehanna, who in 2012 was sentenced to 17 years for plotting to use automatic weapons to murder shoppers in a suburban Boston mall.
• Ahmad Abousamra, an ex-mosque official's son, who fled the country after the FBI charged him with conspiring with Mehanna to kill Americans.
• Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a mosque trustee and Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood leader banned from the U.S. after issuing a fatwa that OK'd killing U.S. soldiers.
• Jamal Badawi, a former ISB trustee who in 2007 was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a plan to funnel $12 million to Palestinian suicide bombers.
In justifying mall attacks, the FBI said Abousamra stated "civilians were not innocent because they paid taxes to support the government and because they were kaffir (non-Muslims)."
The Tsarnaev brothers, who killed three and injured some 200 spectators, appeared to share that rationale.
In 2009, ISB invited Yasir Qadhi to speak, even though the Saudi radical advocates turning the U.S. into an Islamic state and calls Christians "filthy" polytheists whose "life holds no value in the state of jihad."
Yes, contained in the First Amendment, our Founding Fathers enumerated freedom of religion as one of five specific natural born rights we all share as a consequence of having been born. Toleration of Religious Freedom is as important a part of our national make up as anything else, but religious freedom does not mean allow ourselves to be butchered wholesale in order to avoid the appearance of being politically incorrect.
Your right to swing your arms freely ends squarely at my nose, and vice versa. I'm sorry, if your religious tenants state that you must kill and/or enslave all those who do not agree to join you, that particular piece of your religion will be exempt forthwith from any First Amendment protections. We have in this country for quite some time, turned a blind eye to this particular cancer growing out of control in our nation's penal system, Mosques, Madrassa Schools, CAIR, ISNA, MAS, MSA, and any other group of, "peaceful moderate Muslims," operating within our shores.
By the way, this is a bipartisan screwing of America that has transpired here. Opening up our fast track for immigration to Muslim Nations and fast tracking these groups for citizenship has been a long standing practice of both Democrats and Republicans. Both Bushes, and Ronald Reagan along with Carter, Clinton, and Obama have pushed this upon us. If we ever do get to immigration reform, taking a good hard look at where our immigrants come from should be a part of that.
Those who grew up or live south of our border wish to come here to be a part of our nation, and we don't seem to want them. Those from the Middle East seek to destroy us and kill as many of us as they can, and we have been waiving them in as if we like the Jihad that they bring with them. It seems a little suicidal to me, or at least backwards.
Of all of the decisions made by the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice, and Defense over the past 5 years, officially removing all language and subsequently all thought that equates Islam with acts of terror and the war being waged against us my be the dumbest. This decision certainly ranks as near the top in terms of damage done, and the potential for future damage to be done. While George W. Bush did idiotically appear on National Television posing with the White House copy of the Q'ran, (more on this later,) claiming that Islam is a religion of peace immediately after September 11th, and further went on to state the obvious canard that it is only a few bad apples who are attempting to hijack an otherwise great religion, he also managed to allow the aforementioned departments to conduct themselves as needed in order to prosecute this war as was best for our nation. He knew enough, for the most part, to stay out of the way of the professionals. Barack Obama, not so much.
Every time one of these things happens, our current President is all over T.V. admonishing his fellow citizens to ignore the obvious connections of Islam and Terrorism, and directs those aforementioned assets to comb the Tea Parties and other advocates for smaller government for that attack that the political left has been praying to have happen for decades.
Special Note On That White House Q'ran:
That White House Q'ran has an interesting history. Even before our Constitution was ratified, Thomas Jefferson and John Jay traveled to England in order to meet with representatives of the Barbary Coast. It seems as though the practice of kidnapping ships and demanding a ransom was considered an approved practice in their religion of exacting a Jizya, or non Muslim tax from anyone they were able to catch. The nations of Europe had been paying the ransom for centuries. When Jefferson asked the Barbary Coast's Diplomat what gave him authority to commit these acts of terror, he was informed that the Q'ran gave the Muslims this authority to do this to all non Muslims, anywhere in the world. Jefferson bought a Q'ran to read on his voyage home. Both Jefferson and Jay read the book, and Jay actually wrote a forward in it for future national leaders to read. The forward basically says to treat Muslims as the greatest threat our young nation would ever face, and to never allow their venom entrance into our country. Jefferson's answer was to make his first act as President an invasion of the Barbary Coast, which ended the practice of Islamic Terror against us for about a century. The William Pedecaris assassination of 1900 was the next such event. It should be noted for those idiots who claim the whole Jihad thing is caused due the fictional occupation of that fictional place called Palestine, that in 1801, and indeed in 1900, there were no Palestinians, and there was no talk of occupied Palestine.

Albemarle Lake
Lake Albemarle is a 35-acre impoundment owned by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Built in 1938 by the Civilian Conservation Corp, this lake shows little sign of aging. The shoreline is virtually undeveloped and due to its location in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Lake Albemarle provides a quality aesthetic outing.
The lake supports a variety of sport fish including self-sustaining populations of largemouth bass, bluegill, redear sunfish, and black crappie. Channel catfish are stocked annually by the Department to diversify the fishery.
Access Permit Requirement
The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) will require an Access Permit for visitors to department-owned Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and public fishing lakes effective January 1, 2012, who are age 17 and older, unless they possess a valid Virginia hunting, freshwater fishing, or trapping license, or a current Virginia boat registration.
