Neil Varon, conductor
The Eastman School of Music has three orchestras, regularly performing repertoire representative of all musical style periods. Two performing venues at Eastman allow students and faculty to present concerts in an acoustically fine and artistically well-conceived concert space: the newly-renovated Eastman Theatre, which seats approximately 3,000, and Kilbourn Hall, a smaller and more intimate performing venue.
Third and fourth year undergraduates and graduate students play in the Eastman Philharmonia (PHIL) and the Philharmonia Chamber Orchestra (PCO). In addition to performing standard orchestral repertoire, members of Philharmonia comprise the pit orchestra for the fall and spring operas, as well as playing major works written for choral/orchestral collaboration. Members from all three orchestras also have the unique experience of joining the Eastman Jazz Ensemble to form the Studio Orchestra. Studio Orchestra performs one concert per year, playing new works by guest artists and jazz composition students.
All string players are required to audition for participation in Eastman's orchestras. Non-string players are assigned to the orchestras by their studio teachers. Neil Varon, Director of Orchestral activities at Eastman, oversees the orchestral program and serves as primary conductor of all the orchestras.

It's no surprise that not all of the housewives on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" keep in touch when not filming the show, considering that many of their group outings seem so forced. As reported by All About The Real Housewives on Thursday, Jan. 23, Kandi Burruss, while on Bethenny Frankel's talk show, revealed that she and NeNe Leakes don't speak when the Bravo camera crews aren't around.
The person with whom Kandi has a real friendship with is Phaedra Parks.
"I mean, we're cool. I mean, we don't hangout like I do with Phaedra. Phaedra's my girl. Nene and I, we're cordial. When we're around each other, we can laugh and joke, and have fun when we're in the group, but like when we all break off, we don't really keep in touch with each other," she said.
She even stays in contact with Kenya Moore more than she does with NeNe.
"I hear from Kenya throughout — all the time. You know we text every now and then, you know," she added.
While she didn't bring up Cynthia Bailey, it's likely that she's distant from Cynthia as well when not filming "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Cynthia and NeNe are such good friends that Cynthia was one of NeNe's bridesmaids for her second wedding to Gregg Leakes.
As for Porsha Stewart, she had a very touching heart-to-heart with Kandi this season regarding the demise of her marriage to Kordell Stewart so it would be surprising if she didn't keep in touch with Kandi outside of filming.
Are you surprised that Kandi Burruss and NeNe Leakes don't talk outside of filming?

Richard Sherman, the all-star cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks, went on an adrenaline-driven rant in a post-game interview with Fox's Erin Andrews Sunday. Yahoo Sports reported Jan. 19 that said rant followed a last-minute pass deflection by Sherman himself, a live ball that ended up in a teammate's hands (Malcolm Smith) for a game-ending interception. And although Sherman's excitement could be understood, his egotistical and belligerent shouting might have made all but diehard Seahawks fans Broncos supporters for the upcoming Superbowl.
"I'm the best corner in the game!" Sherman shouted into Erin Andrews' proffered microphone. "When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's what you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me!"
Andrews deserves credit for not ducking and diving. Instead, she asked Sherman who he was talking about.
"Crabtree!" Sherman replied. "Don't you open your mouth about the best. Or I'm going to shut it for you real quick!"
Although some thought Sherman may have directed his "shut up" comment at Andrews, it appears that he was directing his comments at San Francisco 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree. Crabtree also happened to be the receiver Sherman deflected the football from to set up the interception.
He added icing to the interception cake by making a choking gesture as he left the field, a move that didn't go unnoticed by the referees. It prompted an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
But in another post-game interview recounted by USA Today, a much more tame Richard Sherman said the choking gesture wasn't meant for Miichael Crabtree. Some thought it may have been directed at San Francisco head coach Jim Harbaugh, but Sherman said that wasn't the case, either. He meant it for Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers quarterback who had thrown the interception.
Sherman and Kaerpernick had exchanged words during the game as well...
Sherman's wild-eyed game's end rant became the topic of much debate following the Seahawks' win. Egotism and outright disrespect for an opponent is something rarely seen and in a society that values good sportsmanship and humility in victory, Sherman set a poor example. In fact, his obnoxious behavior may have been enough to push fence-riding NFL fans to support the Denver Broncos in the Superbowl. It may have been enough to send a few Seahawks supporters into the Broncos camp as well.
The Broncos, led by quarterback Peyton Manning, won a berth in Superbowl XLVIII by defeating the New England Patriots prior to the Seahawks-49ers game.
With an ego like Sherman's, it is doubtful that turning off potential fans bothers him. And as for putting a muzzle on himself in the future -- not going to happen.
In the press conference following the game, Sherman said that Michael Crabtree "knows I'm going to be tough on him for the rest of his career."
He also apologized to Erin Andrews.
Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said, according to the Associated Press (via Yahoo Sports), he took Sherman aside on Monday, letting him know that his actions at the end of and immediately following the game had overshadowed the team's accomplishment of getting to the Superbowl. Instead of everyone talking about the win over San Francisco, everyone was talking about Sherman and his rant.
Richard Sherman is one of the most respected defensive football players in the NFL. For his playing prowess. His over-the-top verbal assaults on his opponents during games are a topic that gets plenty attention. While many find them childish and unnecessary, some defend Sherman by noting that its part of the game, a more psychological side where words are used to distract, intimidate, and/or provoke an opponent.
Still, posturing, insults, and self-adulation are not the most becoming of traits. Put on full display on national television, it likely doesn't win one many fans, either -- even the temporary kind that support you for only a single game like the Superbowl.
It would be interesting to know just how many people became Denver Broncos supporters following Richard Sherman's rant after the NFC Championship Game on Sunday. By the quickness with which sideline analyst Erin Andrews ended the interview and sent it back to the game's announcers, she may have been the first of many.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) was established in 1946 through the consolidation of the General Land Office (created in 1812) and the U.S. Grazing Service (formed in 1934). The functions of the BLM are also addressed below:
General Authorizing Legislation
The following authorize the general activities of the Bureau
of Land Management or govern the manner in which BLM's activities are conducted.
Reorganization Plan No. 3
of 1946, §403
Establishes the BLM.
Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976,
as amended (43 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.)
Outlines functions of the BLM Directorate, provides for
administration of public lands through the BLM, provides for
management of the public lands on a multiple-use basis, and
requires land-use planning including public involvement and a
continuing inventory of resources. The Act establishes as public
policy that, in general, the public lands will remain in Federal
ownership, and also authorizes: [It goes on for another 18 pages]
Well now. Since the BLM is a compilation of two other Unconstitutional agencies, by that fact alone the BLM is itself unconstitutional. In fact, the BLM, on it's own is unconstitutional. In addition Article 1 § 8 Clause 17 as follows:
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;
Note that it says 'not exceeding TEN MILES square'. It doesn't say ten SQUARE miles. Ten miles square equates to 100....yep....100 square miles. Today this equates to Army bases, AF bases, bombing ranges, Navy dockyards and dry docks etc. Source.
Now of course we have the Harry Reid, and his son's, connection. Some connection has already been established and with each day passing the connection gets deeper. And this makes you wonder why Dirty Harry would be doing this now? The answer seems relatively simple. Reid has seen the handwriting on the wall in that there is, at the moment, a better than a 50/50 chance the Republicans/Conservatives will win the majority in the Senate. He will then be relegated to the back benches....but who knows, he may then be the Minority Leader. Doubtful though and many Democrats are distancing themselves from him. Physically, daily he appears more and more frail.
Finally we come to the Cliven Bundy Ranch showdown. We narrowly missed the start of the Second American Revolution. According to the BLM, it was all for the tortoises INITIALLY, then it was Bundy's refusal to PAY for grazing rights. This column has dealt with the tortoise issue here.
Bundy actually might have made a mistake. To JUST WHO was he paying his grazing fees? If he was paying the BLM, then the BLM owes him a massive refund plus payment on the damage and loss of livestock. They cannot charge a grazing fee for a land they do NOT own. If he was actually paying the state of Nevada he may very well have legal problems within Nevada.

The E-30 is for photographers looking to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary masterpieces. Autofocus Live View with Multiple Exposure shooting lets you create artistic effects in-camera. Six Art Filters instantly give your images a variety of creative looks. Features like Face Detection, Shadow Adjustment Technology and In-body Image Stabilization ensure clear, crisp images in any shooting situation. It all adds up to a DSLR for photographers who want to express themselves more artistically.
New to the E-30, is technology that conveniently helps you transform a basic image that faithfully represents the scene into an image that carries emotional impact. The new Art Filters take this expressive ability to a higher level, replicating six dramatic effects as you shoot using the Autofocus Live View LCD. Pop Art: Enhances colors, making them more saturated and vivid, creating high-impact pictures that express the joyful, lighthearted feeling of the Pop Art style of the 1960s. Soft Focus: Creates an ethereal atmosphere that renders subjects in a heavenly light without obscuring details. Pale & Light Color: Encloses the foreground of an image in flat gentle light and pastel colors reminiscent of a flashback scene in a movie. Light Tone: Renders shade and highlight areas softly to lend an elegant air to the subject. Grainy Film: Evokes the feeling of documentary footage shot in monochrome with grainy, high-contrast film. Pin Hole Camera: Reduces the peripheral brightness of an image as though it were hot through a pin hole, connecting the viewer intimately with the subject at the center of the picture.
Two innovative technologies merge to create a unique digital experience. The advanced Live View Autofocus works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display subjects, in focus, on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half way. And the Swivel Live View LCD enables photographers to hold the camera away from their face and at angles they cannot easily reach by using the optical viewfinder alone. During composition, settings like white balance and exposure can be selected, and their impact is seen instantly on the LCD, thanks to Live View. Real-time monitoring offers amazing versatility and creative control.
Shoot up to four images in one frame in both the Live View and optical viewing modes. More evidence that Olympus is the undisputed leader in Live View technology, the E-30's Live View Autofocus now has a Multiple Exposure feature. Now you can take your best shot and combine it with another great shot right on the camera's LCD. Multiple Exposure overlays an image with multiple frames and saves it on a single image. For example, shoot a silhouette of a child against a sunset sky, then overlay a shot of a portrait of the child to create a lasting memory. The creative possibilities are endless and only limited by your imagination. You can also overlay up to four RAW images after shooting with this innovative feature. It's art created on the fly.
Face Detection is an innovative technology that can track up to eight faces within the image area and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Shadow Adjustment Technology compensates for extreme contrast when shadowed areas lack visible detail. Shadow Adjustment Technology adjusts the exposure in the shadows while retaining all the detail in the bright areas. This technology works automatically when using Face Detection Mode, Live View and in Scene-Select Modes.
Unlike others with fixed LCDs, the new camera's 100 percent accurate 270 degree swivel 2.7-inch Live View HyperCrystal LCD can be rotated freely so photographers can compose at tough angles, including overhead and down low, without feeling like a contortionist. Because Live View enables an E-30 photographer to communicate face-to-face with subjects and still have everything in the frame with the camera body out of the way, an encouraging smile or wink of the eye can be used with a shy or nervous subject to get the desired results.
Since photography is a form of expression that is essentially based on clipping a scene, framing is an important component of style. The E-30 provides nine aspect ratios including the standard 4:3, as well as 16:9 for impressive, cinematic-style images, and 6:6, which is available with medium format cameras, plus 3:2, 5:4, 7:6, 6:5, 7:5 and 3:4. By selecting the aspect ratio before shooting and easily reviewing images on the LCD throughout the shoot, the Multi-Aspect function adds a new means of expression to your photography.
The new camera's high-performance 12.3-megapixel Live MOS image sensor delivers excellent dynamic range, accurate color fidelity and fine image details in both highlight and shadow areas.
Besides the ability to indulge your creative side, the E-30 has the ability to capture anything. An innovative 11-Point Twin Cross Sensor and dedicated AF sensor combined with our ED 12-60mm f2.8-4.0 SWD lens gives you the same record-breaking autofocus speed as our E-3 pro camera.
The E-30 features In-body Image Stabilization. That means you can use any Four Thirds lens, from wide-angle to telephoto, for perfectly clear, crisp photos no matter what the shooting situation, even in low light situations. With the E-30, you can compensate for camera shake by up to 5 shutter speed steps.
AutofocusOn-screen Autofocus with Live View works as seamlessly as a point-and-shoot to display subjects, in focus, on the LCD the instant the shutter is pressed half way.
Multiple Exposure
Art FiltersThe new Art Filters allow you to replicate dramatic effects as you shoot using the Autofocus Live View LCD.
Face DetectionTracks up to 8 faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposures for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures.
Shadow Adjustment TechnologyShadow Adjustment Technology brings out more details in shadows. It captures scenes exactly as you see them, even in challenging situations -- like when shooting a backlit subject.In-Body AF Focus AdjustmentIn-Body AF Focus Adjustment lets you use the AF Sensor (when set to Hybrid AF or AF Sensor) to fine-adjust the focusing position to a range of +/- 20 steps.
LCD DisplayThe 2.7-inch dual-axis, high-definition, Live View monitor swivels 270 so you can capture dramatic images, even at difficult-to-shoot angles. The HyperCrystal II wide-angle display, with 360-degree articulation, makes composition and image viewing possible at any angle.
Aspect RatiosExpress yourself by altering how you frame the world -- choose from nine aspect ratios, from the standard 4:3 to the cinematic 16:9. By selecting an aspect ratio before shooting and easily reviewing images on the LCD throughout the shoot, the Multi-Aspect function adds a new means of expression to your photography.
Live-MOS sensorThe powerful 12.3-megapixel Live-MOS sensor means you'll capture more detail than ever before in your pictures. And you'll have the flexibility to crop and still produce large, detailed prints.
11-point imagerWhen it comes to measuring camera speed, autofocus is a key factor. Thanks to the new 14-54mm II lens with high-speed Imager AF, shooting with Live View is faster than ever -- a key element in utilizing the new camera fs art filters. And AF accuracy is further ensured by precise 11-point imager AF with the 12.3 megapixel Live MOS sensor.
In-Body Image StabilizationIn-Body Image Stabilization is a state-of-the-art technology, preventing camera shake for blur free photography. Built into the camera body using the SWD motors, this image stabilization works with all Four Thirds and Zuiko Digital lenses from the 8mm fisheye (16mm equivalent in 35mm photography) to the 300mm super telephoto (600mm equivalent) for handheld shots. Shoot in low light and slower shutter speeds without worry.
Dust ReductionThe Olympus dust reduction system is an industry first and a proven technology. Every time you turn on the E-30, the Supersonic Wave Filter -- located between the shutter and the image sensor – silently vibrates an amazing 30,000 times per second. Dust is flung away and collected so it can't come back.
Full Manual ControlSettings like Manual, Program, Aperture, and Shutter Speed Priority allow for full manual control of the camera for advanced creative shooting. Yet the E-30 can also be set to Auto so you can easily capture beautiful images.
Digital Level SensorThe E-30 is equipped with an internal Digital Level Sensor that detects the camera fs pitch and roll and indicates it in the optical viewfinder on the control panel, and during Live View operation. This Digital Leveler is a tremendous benefit to landscape and architectural photographers who must ensure that images they take of scenes or buildings are as true as the walls of the buildings themselves. Rather than spend time rotating an image in computer software, you can use the new camera fs Digital Leveler to make sure your subjects are where they should be in the frame.Remote ReleaseThe remote release allows the user to take pictures over long exposures without shaking the camera. Additionally, it offers the possibility of locking the release button for bulb exposure.

The co-author and sponsor of the Senate's unemployment benefits extension bill, Senator Dean Heller, R-NV is looking at any way possible to pass the bill in the Republican controlled House of Representatives and believes he might have found a winning combination. Heller told the press on Thursday, May 8, 2014 that he is considering combining the tax cuts extenders bill and the unemployment benefits extension bill to ensure the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program is extended for the nearly three million Americans before the end of May deadline.
Heller has taken it upon himself to be the official negotiator for the bill with the House GOP. He is looking to add any provision that would be acceptable to Speaker of the House John Boehner, R-OH and the rest of the House Republicans to put the bill to a House vote. President Barack Obama opposes adding any provisions to the bill as does Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV. However, with the business tax cuts extenders bills going to be passed with bipartisan support and Obama upset neither bills has their costs offset and are adding to the deficit, while the unemployment benefits extension bill languishing in the House, combining the two ensures both passes.
Senator Heller now thinks that there is an opportunity to attach the unemployment benefits extension to the Senate business tax cuts extender bill. The two-year extension bill will renew "over 50 wide ranging tax cuts," will cost $85 billion, and is not offset, adding to the deficit. Heller thinks it's a win a win situation for President Obama, the Democrats and House GOP. The Senate Finance Committee passed the bill in the beginning of April, and will move to a full Senate vote next week. "Tax extenders" are bills, which as MSNBC describes as "tax breaks that were originally intended to be temporary, but which Congress has extended annually."
Senator Heller told the press on Thursday, May 8 that he is considering negotiating with the House GOP and Senate leadership about adding the unemployment benefits extension bill to the tax cuts extenders. Heller stated that "Yes. We are taking a look at favorable pieces of legislation out there that we can attach something to." Congress Quarterly's Roll Call said this combination "could represent one of the best chances for the unemployment bill to make it to the president's desk."
The House is working on their own business tax cuts extenders bills, and intends to work with the Senate to "reconcile" the two Houses different bills to ensure the cuts are passed by the end of the year when they expire. This past week the House Ways and Means Committee advanced the bill, which includes only six tax cuts extenders, including the pricey Research and Experimentation Credit. The bill over all costs $310 billion and is not offset by any revenue, adding to the deficit and will make all six tax credits permanent.
However, there is some controversy surrounding the Houses' bill, mostly because it has taken priority over the unemployment benefits extension bill. Rep. Sander Levin, D-MI, the ranking member of the Ways and Means Committee and active supporter of the unemployment benefits extension criticized the bill saying "To put forth a bill costing $310 billion, increasing the deficit by that amount and not paying attention to other needs, is fiscally irresponsible." However, the committee chairman promised that the remaining tax extenders Dave Camp, R-MI will be passed in separate bills to make it more manageable. Camp explained; "Sixty bills would be unworkable. We are starting with bills that have bipartisan cosponsors. We aren't done."
Among the six tax credits to be permanent is the Research and Experimentation Credit ("R&D credit") known as H.R. 4438 - American Research and Competitiveness Act of 2014 and sponsored by Rep. Kevin Brady, R-TX, which would cost $156 billion for 10 years. The bill also has bipartisan support with nine Democrats co-sponsoring it. The bill creates high tech jobs, and is part of a group of business tax extenders, that have continually renewed by Congress, Republicans and Democrats since 1981. The extenders bills in total consist of 60 business tax cuts. The R&D credit tax extender is becoming a major issue this time, because its cost in not being offset through additional revenue or closing or revising tax loopholes and the entire price of the bill will be added to the deficit, and it is set to be passed by the House next week.
President Obama promised to veto the R&D credit, if the House does not pass the unemployment benefits extension. The business tax credits however, usually has bipartisan support, it only this particular circumstance with the GOP not providing revenue to pay for the bill, and ignoring the extending the EUC that has made this routine tax cuts extension newsworthy. Obama and the White House issued a "Statement of Administration Policy" on the tax credit on Tuesday, May 6, 2014 indicating they are upset with the high cost being added to the deficit when the House instead could have passed the unemployment benefits extension.
The White House finds it hypocritical that the GOP always wants the cost of legislation offset, but when it comes to a bill benefitting corporations and the wealthy, that point is irrelevant. However, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-MD thinks the Republicans practice a double standard when it comes to tax cuts, all the basic principles go out the window. Hoyer commented; "This takes no courage to put on the floor or to vote for. None. Zero. Zip. Tax cuts are easy to vote for. Paying for what you buy is difficult to vote for. And all of the wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth with reference to the deficit seems to go by the boards when the Republicans talk of tax cuts."
The House thinks that the R&D credit will boost the economy far more than extending unemployment benefits. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) study released earlier this year found a full year extension would only provide 0.2 growth to the economy, and even the five-month Senate extension would serve beneficial to the economy. If extended for a full year the CBO study concludes extending benefits would add 200,000 jobs and the program would cost $26 billion.
The Senate finally reached a bipartisan compromise on to extend the EUC program in March, and passed the bill on April 7, 2014. The retroactive five-month extension laid out in the Senate bill lasts until June 1, 2014. The Senate bill expires in the end of May, there is very little time left for the House of Representatives to pass the unemployment benefits extension. Senators Dean Heller and Jack Reed, D-RI, the bill's co-authors and sponsors have promised to go back and start the process over and write another bill. As time goes further away from the Dec. 28, 2013 expiration, and closer to the midterm elections, each delays lowers the probability of passing the bill.
At this point Speaker Boehner refuses to put the bill to a vote, because it does not include job creation measures. The cost of the $10 billion bill is entirely paid for with revenue and does not add to the deficit. The speaker has been pushing for the White House to provide him a list of acceptable provisions to be added to the bill. President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry, Reid, D-NV do not want any provisions added to the unemployment extension bill, they prefer it passes as it is. Obama and Reid's objection has prevented Boehner from negotiating with Sen. Heller about adding any provision that would make the bill acceptable him and Republicans in the House.
Meanwhile House Republicans have expressed interest in passing the bill, but they to want to add provisions including the job creation measure that would appeal to Boehner and convince him to put the bill to a House vote. Among the provisions being considered are a business tax provision or passing the XL Keystone Pipeline along with modifying two elements of the health care law, and the job training programs restructure bill, which had the support of many Republicans.
The new April jobs report released on May 2, 2014 makes it even more complicated to convince reluctant Republicans to pass the unemployment benefits extension. The unemployment rate is now 6.3 percent, and the long-term unemployment rate also fell, with 287,000 less Americans unemployed for longer than six months. Now the total stands at 3.5 million Americans or 35.5 percent all unemployed Americans.
The unemployment benefits extension bill is left in a standstill between Republicans who want provisions and the Democrats who refuse to let any be added, part of the midterm election battle front. Meanwhile since the EUC program expired on Dec. 28, 2013 nearly 3 million Americans lost access to benefits, and each week about 70,000 Americans keep losing benefits. It is projected that by the end of the year 1.6 million more Americans will lose benefits. Heller hopes adding to the unemployment benefits extension to the tax extenders bills with give the bill the bipartisan support it needs to pass.

On Friday, John Jacob Schmidt of Radio Free Redoubt said that according to Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, Attorney General Eric Holder has approved drone strikes against the Bundy ranch to take place some time in the next 48 hours. According to Schmidt, the information came from a source Oath Keepers has within the Department of Defense.
That source, according to the report, allegedly said Attorney General Eric Holder authorized what is known as a "hot drone strike" against the ranch. Such a strike, he added would effectively kill everyone at the ranch.
Schmidt said that as far as he could determine, there has been no attempt to follow through with the alleged threat. He also expressed hope that a planned strike against Americans on U.S. soil could be averted.
According to a post at The Liberty Beacon, Rhodes said feds are treating the Bundy ranch situation like a bomb threat in a school. Leslie Bishop Paul, the national administrator of Oath Keepers, said on Facebook the information "may, or may not" be valid, but hoped that "sunlight' would cause federal agencies to back down from such an act.
"Pray it isn't true and pray it never happens," Paul added.
Liberty Beacon went on to say that such a move by the government would be the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back. The blog went on to suggest that the information might be intended to provoke violence, giving the government reason to impose martial law.
"So is this disinformation to get the boots on the ground to evacuate the scene so that BLM people can move in Waco style, or is it absolute bull to have us put out false info and destroy our credibility," the blog asked. During an interview with Schmidt, Rhodes said it is possible the report could be part of a disinformation campaign. The person who reportedly gave the information, he said, believes what he heard.
Rhodes also said that Holder felt justified in his decision, based on comments made by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. As we reported last Friday, Reid called Bundy supporters "domestic terrorists."
Attempts to obtain comments from the Department of Justice have so far been unsuccessful. The entire 20-minute report can be heard here.
Note: Joe will discuss this report on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 at 4 p.m. Pacific time, here.

In this week's episode, you'll learn about another city in Kansas stepping up stop unconstitutional federal gun control, along with several local communities across the U.S. pledging support for the the Second Amendment. And there's yet another standoff happening here in Nulli-fornia. Plus a great big thank you to all of our supporters.
Host: Michael Boldin.
Content Production: Mike Maharrey
Danke! Gracias! Thank you!
I could say it a million times in every known language and never come close to expressing my gratitude to you – the supporters of the Tenth Amendment Center.
You did an amazing thing last weekend. I was astonished. Floored. Amazed.
As you know, the Tenth Amendment Center does some pretty big work, but we are really a small organization. There isn't any multi-million dollar endowment. No big corporate donors. No high profile sponsorships. We scrape by on about $50,000 per year. That's pretty astonishing when you compare it with the $60 million budget over at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
So, when our summer fundraising campaign came up more than $3,000 short, that was major cause for concern. I'm not exaggerating when I say we were worried about the future viability of the Tenth Amendment Center. So, I threw up a Hail Mary. I set up a campaign and sent out an email asking for money. Basically, I laid it all out on the table.
Let me tell you, that was one of the hardest emails I've ever written. I basically bared my heart and soul for all to see. My hand trembled as I hit send. I don't like asking for help. I certainly don't like to beg. And quite frankly, my expectations weren't high. It was a humbling moment.
But not nearly as humbling as the response we received.
You came through to the tune of $30,000 – plus!
In the blink of an eye, we went from pondering what it would mean to close the doors to planning projects we thought were completely out of reach.
I'm not going to lie. This isn't easy work. Folks on the left fire away at us. Folks on the right lob rocks. We get called names. We get ridiculed. And sometimes we're just ignored. It's easy to feel alone. But you reminded us that we are not alone – in a big way!
Like I said, it is really quite humbling to know so many people believe in us and what we are doing – believe in us enough to sacrifice hard-earned cash for the cause. This isn't something we take lightly. We recognize the responsibility we have to be good stewards of what you've gifted us with. And we take that responsibility very seriously.
Let me share with you a few things we have in mind moving forward.
I'm a long-term planner, and always think of the big picture rather than just now, now, now. So I've had an informal plan of attack in case we ever got to a point where we had some additional funds on hand. So, while I don't yet have our next steps set in stone, I have some specific goals and ways to achieve them ready to go.
First, we want to reach more people. We will do this by upping our advertising budget from $400 to $1,000 per month. We also plan to grow our part time outreach team so we can more effectively deal with folks on a personal level.
Second, we want to lay a solid foundation for the future. You won't see any big spending sprees on flashy projects that we can't sustain in the long run. Whatever new projects we take on need to be things we can maintain over time. That means one step at a time. Well, thanks to your help, maybe we can take two steps this round!
Third, we have the opportunity to speed development of our activist toolkit. Short version? We're building something that will empower people to easily take action on both a state and local level – a viral nullification toolkit. While we can't yet afford the whole project right now, even with our recent boost, we could speed up the timeline and have some strong results.
You can read more about our plans at tenthamendmentcenter.com and even pitch in with your own ideas. We're eager to hear them!
What's our end-game? Liberty. In everything we're doing now and in everything we're considering doing in the future, the long-term goal is advancing liberty. In many ways, our path forward will look a lot like the path we've traveled the past seven years. In all we do, you'll continue to see our firm commitment to principle: follow the Constitution every issue, every time, no exceptions no excuses!"
Again, Thank you! I can't say it enough. Thank you for your faith in us. Thank you for your commitment to us. Thank you for partnering with us for liberty!

Dr. Ghassan Wahbeh discusses 3 treatment strategies that avoid repeated use of steroids and promote healing.

Watch the rest of our IBD Video Series https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjvfRtcMhn4OrxA2dD4k8qc5ajjhfpobr
0:08 So what are some of the strategies that we have to prevent the repeat use of steroids? We know that steroids come with a lot of side effects as you saw in our other video. And we know that preventing the use of steroids over and over is a good idea. Now we have three strategies that we use to treat our patients and prevent the repeat need for steroids.
0:28 One is for ulcerative colitis using mesalamines. Mesalamines are medications like Aspirin that coat the lining of the intestine and therefore reduce the inflammation. By reducing the inflammation and healing the lining of the colon, we prevent the need for more use of steroids.
0:46 The second strategy is to use immune modulators. Immune modulators are medications that try to balance the over-active immune system that produces the inflammation. These immune modulators come in pill form or injection form. For example, for ulcerative colitis, azathioprine or mercaptopurine can be used. For Crohn's Disease, azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and methotrexate can be used.
1:15 There's a category of biologic agents. Biologic agents are antibodies designed to neutralize some of the key components of the inflammation in IBD. These medications allow for the majority of patients, allow for the inflammation to be quiet, and they allow for the lining of the intestine to heal, which is a key target of our management plan. They also do not come with the side effects of steroids.
1:43 Now, they do have side effects of their own. Some of these side effects are allergies. They tend to be mild but sometimes they can be severe. That's very uncommon. They also could suppress the over-active immune system a little too much, which allows the body to get more infections than the average individual. That's why we screen for infections like tuberculosis when we are considering treatment with these options early on.
2:10 Now, there are rare instances where these medications were linked to developing malignancies or cancers. And fortunately, this is very, very rare. The key thing that we always have to think about is, are we using the medicine for the right reason? And if we are, is the risk of these rare adverse events of these medications worthwhile for the sake of controlling the inflammation, allowing the symptoms to be quiet in the long run, not just the short term, and also preventing the repeat use of steroids.

About 10 years ago I heard Steven Sample, who at the time was the president of the University of Southern California, speak at a leadership conference. He's a follower of Christ and an excellent communicator who often speaks at college graduations.
Regardless of the setting, Sample usually gives the same address, and it involves asking the graduates three questions: How do you feel about money? How do you feel about children? How do you feel about God? The last question often catches his audience off guard. As Sample notes in his terrific book, The Contrarian's Guide to Leadership...
Say what? Did he say God? Why would anyone bring up God at a commencement ceremony? I quickly assure the graduates that I'm not trying to sell them a set of religious beliefs. After all, the question is not how should you feel about God, but how do you feel about God in fact? What I have found…is that the vast majority of people—leaders and followers alike—duck this question altogether. Discovering how one feels about God is simply too difficult or frightening for most people to address in any serious or meaningful way…[but] it is probably to…[the leader's]…advantage to discover and confront those feelings sooner rather than later. Doing so will almost certainly help him locate his moral center, and in the process help him become a better leader.
Perhaps you've never wrestled with how you feel about God, but I have. Maybe it's because I teach at a seminary and have been a pastor for almost three decades that I've been told at times that I'm not supposed to wrestle with that. Still, sometimes I do. Depending on my behavior, situation, mood or my health, I've wrestled with fearing God, loving Him, feeling close to Him or even wondering if He really cares about me. That's one of the reasons why this story in
Daniel's Faithfulness in the Face of Death
The story begins with a change of regime from the Babylonians to the Persians and Darius, the new king, makes Daniel one of the top administrators of his empire. That's very important because at this point Daniel was at least 75 years old and was still an occupational success. In fact, because of Daniel's competence and ethics, Darius planned to set him over the whole kingdom. Daniel was first at work in the morning, finished the job every day and didn't cut corners. He might have been on the older side of life, but he still had his mojo. In a youth-oriented society such as ours, it's good to see that folks on the far side of 50 still can deliver the goods.

The award, which carries a $100,000 prize, was created to recognize exceptional achievement in improving the safety and effectiveness of health care in Massachusetts. It will be presented to the hospital on April 2 at a conference sponsored by BCBSMA that will bring together local and national leaders to explore the critical elements for delivering high performance health care: care that is reliably safe and effective.
Beth Israel Deaconess was chosen as the award's first recipient by a distinguished panel of health experts who cited its groundbreaking approach to reducing medical errors in its Obstetrics unit, an initiative launched following a tragic case in 2000 in which a series of errors resulted in the loss of a patient's baby.
Dr. Benjamin Sachs, chair of the hospital's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, publicly disclosed the errors and miscommunications in an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association, and led a major reorganization of the unit that looked outside the medical field for new ways to improve patient care. As a result, the hospital has experienced fewer complications for mothers and babies during childbirth.
"Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has successfully changed its culture and achieved significant results through this initiative," said Cleve Killingsworth, BCBSMA's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Their model is replicable and widely adaptable for other health care organizations."
"We are honored to be the first recipients of the BCBSMA Healthcare Excellence Award," said Dr. Sachs. "Our philosophy is that health care has much to learn from the science of safety and quality developed by other industries, and that the search for quality is a never-ending journey."
"We believe that we were only able to embark on this journey as a result of being willing to confront a patient's loss and accept responsibility," Dr. Sachs added. "We have learned that apologizing to patients, when errors occur, empowers us to improve and allows patients to heal."
Dr. Sachs commended the team that helped lead the reorganization: Penny Greenberg RN, Susan Mann MD, Ronald Marcus MD, Patricia McNamee RN, Stephen Pratt MD, Barbara Stabile RN, and Mary Salisbury RN. The team's quality assurance leaders are Toni Golen MD, Marc Kobelin MD, and Dorothy Mcweeney.
Following the 2000 case, Beth Israel Deaconess's Obstetrics unit began working with the Department of Defense and Harvard's Risk Management Foundation to apply the principles of Crew Resource Management (CRM), used to prevent errors in the military and in commercial aviation, to the field of obstetrics. It was the first obstetrics unit and one of the first health care operations in the country to adopt CRM.
The obstetrics staff learned how to use CRM techniques to overcome poor communications, a leading cause of medical errors, how to reorganize the delivery of care, and how to make it easier for all the staff to challenge and participate in decisions about patient care.
The Obstetrics Department also made major changes in the way it monitored patients. Previously, when doctors and nurses ended their day they provided updates only on the patients under their care to the next shift. Now, the entire obstetrics staff is knowledgeable about all patients. Because there are no accepted, clinically relevant outcomes in obstetrics, the department also developed an Adverse Outcomes Index, a measurement tool to evaluate obstetrical care.
Today, Beth Israel Deaconess has the lowest adverse event score of any comparable tertiary hospital reporting to the National Perinatal Information Center, a nonprofit organization that collects national data. As a direct result of the obstetrics unit's work, there are now statewide initiatives in Massachusetts, Maryland, and the District of Columbia to introduce obstetrical team training.
"They have made outstanding progress in improving patient care," said Andrew Dreyfus, BCBSMA's Executive Vice President of Health Care Services. "They have demonstrated that teamwork and communications are critical elements in creating care that is reliably safe and effective. We hope that others will follow this example."
More than 40 health care organizations throughout Massachusetts, including teaching and community hospitals, health centers, and state agencies, completed nomination papers for the award, part of a broad commitment by BCBSMA to work with key stakeholders to ensure that the health care system consistently delivers safe and effective care.
A selection committee named earlier this year reviewed the applications and chose the winner. The review committee was comprised of the following local and national health care experts: Maureen Bisgnano, Institute for Healthcare Improvement; Jack Connors of Hill, Holiday, Connors, Cosmopulous, Inc., chairman of the board of trustees of Partners Healthcare; Andrew Dreyfus, Executive Vice President, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts; Lucian L. Leape, MD of the Harvard School of Public Health; Sister Mary Jean Ryan, of SSM Health Care; Richard Shannon, Professor of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania; and Frederica Williams, President & CEO, Whittier Street Health Center.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts (www.bluecrossma.com) was founded 69 years ago by a group of community-minded business leaders. Today, headquartered in Boston, BCBSMA provides coverage to 3 million members. BCBSMA believes in rewarding doctors and hospitals for delivering safe and effective care, and in empowering patients to take more responsibility, become educated health care consumers and become stronger partners with their doctors. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association.

Due to the current status of economy millions of American people are unemployed and the numbers are still rising as employers are making the choice to lay off employees or not hire. It is not only current employees being released from their jobs that are dealing with stressful situations but it is the millions of experienced job seekers that are being overlooked because they can no longer gain employment. In many cases there have been questions raised on the matter of why the current White House administration will not allow small business owners do what is needed to correct this economy and unfortunately there has been no response to that other than total silence.
Something many are not paying attention to are the many who have actually quit looking for work due to the economy status. The real number of unemployment is over 30%. Why is it so high, because those numbers continue to come from persons that are obtaining unemployed benefits. Those numbers are not from persons who just quit looking for jobs because they know it is not worth dealing with the stress or are aware this issue will not be corrected until ObamaCare is removed in full so small business owners can hire once again.
It has been proven ObamaCare was a very dangerous issue and never should have been brought into play because of the damage it caused to the working person and the small business owner. The millions of working Americans are still out of work and now faced with financial hardships in feeding their family and paying monthly bills. The larger question when will small business owners have the ability to hire again and when will the unemployed be able to go back to work and start paying bills again with less stress?

I have read that there exist non-integer fractal dimensions and the images generated from these dimensions look organic and they seem to provide a new way of describing the world around us, which raises the question. How many dimensions (spatially or otherwise) do we live in? 3, 3.1, 3.5 as well as 1 time dimension or could time itself exist in a fractal dimension of its own.
migrated from math.stackexchange.com Feb 4 '13 at 12:31
This question came from our site for people studying math at any level and professionals in related fields.
Off course the Idea of having fractal dimensions in our real physical word is extremely interesting, but till now, and despite of all the experiments made, there is no evidence of such a thing (for example, in LHC there is a dedicated team of physicists that analyzing colider data for any variation that may be treated as an evidence for extra dimensions).
Thus we can say for now, that within our current technologies and measurement apparatus accuracy, 4 desecrate dimensions are just enough to describe most of what we know about our universe
Anyway there is still many open questions that some physicists argue that they can be solved by considering fractal dimensions, but the most important part in those claims still missing: the experimental evidence, and we mast tend to search for the simplest explanations for those questions, and calming that it's a fractals is a very exotic one.
The world is incredibly well-described locally by $\mathbb R^4$ and we know no experiment that would pretend the contrary.

Women's Basketball's Season Comes To End In League Championship Game
March 6, 2006
Milwaukee, Wis. - After a stellar run at the 2006 Horizon League Tournament, the UIC women's basketball team fell to the UW-Milwaukee Panthers, 71-63, in the championship contest to end the Flames season. Junior Jacquay Holmes paced the Flames with 17 points and senior Chrissy Dizon pulled down five boards on the afternoon.
Named to the all-tournament team, Dizon and LaShonda Grant both chipped in 15 points apiece. The Panthers had three players score in double figures with Newcomer of the Year Traci Edwards netting 24 points and eight rebounds. Senior Molly O'Brien posted a double double with ten points and ten rebounds.
With the game all tied up at 8-8 with 12:45 on the clock in the first half, the Flames hit four straight to take a 12-8 advantage. The Panthers then sparked a 12-0 burst and eventually headed into the locker room with a 33-22 lead.
Down by 11 at halftime, UIC chipped away at the Panthers lead with a 10-0 run (44-42) with 10:28 remaining in regulation, but tournament MVP Edwards responded with a quick layup.
With 5:00 minutes on the clock and trailing by seven, Grant drilled a three pointer to make the score, 56-52.
UIC cut the deficit to three points at the 2:26 mark, but the Flames would run out of time and the Panthers would clinch the 2006 Horizon League regular-season and tournament title to earn an NCAA Tournament berth, 71-63.
The Flames wrapped up the season with a 16-14 overall record and ended regular-season play 10-6 (3rd-place) in the league.
The match-up today marked UIC's first appearance in the championship game and most successful finish (2nd).

Certainly; if you have some plane curve represented parametrically as $(f(u)\quad g(u))^T$, the surface represented parametrically by
is one simple parametrization for a generalized (right) cone whose cross sections are scaled versions of the given plane curve.
