Popular culture has made murder, rape, mayhem, hatred, and violence "cool"
by Timothy Birdnow
The recent massacre at an elementary school in Connecticut (the ironically named Sandy Hook - it's been a bad year for anything named Sandy) has, predictably, brought a chorus of calls for gun control and to double down on Progressive social reform schemes.
It appears no tragedy, no matter how horrendous, is to be allowed to "go to waste" as Rahm Emmanuel would say.…

Our "Pop Culture" president!
How is it that the reality TV shows with our president is more real than the last present election of that president.
How is it that our president spent more time on the "View," than conferring with joint chiefs of staffs—or the "State Department" while our embassy is under attack in Benghazi.
Why is it that Joy Behar on September 25, on ABC's "The View," asked Obama about a remark made by his secretary of state. "I heard…Continue

LOL Wut?
You have NO idea how this comment made me gaffaw, David! !!!!
I know you didn't mean it this way, but....over here, "cracker" is a word used by other races to racially insult someone of the Caucasian race. LOL
Humm interesting book to have. I think I may just invest in one myself!
Actually, I am quite aware of many sayings from your side of the pond. I've been a member of a forum (which sadly isn't as active now as it was once in the past, although it is still around) since 2007, and have made many friends from the UK. We have all been quite tickled at times to the many differences to the same words.... I love for instance, that you guys call a car's roof and trunk, 'bonnet' and 'boot'! Oh I just LOVE that! LOVE it!
I've never heard "cracker" explained however. But reading your reaction was the real intent on my end. You just crack me up so much sometimes David; a very interesting man as well!

A fire rips through six acres of land burning three structures and partially destroying a marijuana plantation in Oroville.
The fire broke out around 3 p.m. Friday forcing neighbors to act quickly and get ready to leave their homes.
Firefighters fought back flames and quickly saved homes on View Lane. Cal Fire says this fire could have gotten out of hand very quickly.
"I thought for sure it was going to burn," said Kathy Popa.
Popa and her family are breathing easier after spending the afternoo watching a wildfire head straight for their home.
"There was black smoke just where I can see and fire coming with it heading straight for my house," said Popa.
The change in the winds is what steered the fire towards her neighbor Kathleen Mulkerrin's house.
"You got to hit these things hard it takes a little hard to get out here. So, a lot of buildings with very little clearance around them," said Battalion Chief Russ Fowler.
Cal Fire took to the air and ground to contain the fire. Even bulldozing fire lines around Kathleen's property to make sure it didn't make its way through the neighborhood.
"A truck just drove it seemed like from where i was standing right through the flames and just stopped to save her house. That was pretty amazing!" said Popa.
What started the fire is still a mystery but firefighters say it started near a marijuana plantation that's just down the road from Kathy's home.
"So I'm glad that burned as far as that goes," said Popa.
"It started in and around there but I can't say if it started in the plantation," said Fowler.
Cal Fire doesn't know who owns that plantation but they have turned the scene over to the sheriff's office. Officials say they're glad they got a jump on this fire before it got out of hand.
"Any fire that gets large is going to threaten communities and people and we have to attacks fires quick with heavy assaults so they don't have a sporting chance," said Fowler.
While Cal Fire does not yet have an official cause, they want to remind everyone to be careful with motorized equipment such as lawn mowers, tractors, and even motorcycles; especially, in the dangerous summer months.

Bill Van Wyhe and Mark Davis who both teach the Broadcasting class at Liberal High School were at Monday's Board of Education meeting to report on a Broadcasting Award.
The LHS Broadcasting Class had three students that won the Kansas Association of Broadcasting (KAB), Honorable Mention Award for a 30 second PSA spot they submitted. The spot was titled "Waste".
The students were Janny Ourn, Maria Pohorecki, and Preston Grant. Ourn was on hand and talked about the award with the board. She said the commercial is about how someone's waste can sometimes become someone else's treasure.
Davis said the group entered some other spots as well and that alot of the work the class does airs on channel 16 during different times of the week.
Van Wyhe also mentioned that the Broadcasting class now has a facebook page and that he has uploaded "Waste" along with several other videos that the class has done.

Your reputation is unsullied, or unsoiled, because you study hard, you don't skip school, and you are generally kind to everyone. Your friend's reputation hasn't stayed unsullied since he got caught selling answers to tests.
To understand the adjective unsullied, you must understand its root, sully, "to soil or tarnish." Something unsullied is spotless: you usually refer to things in the abstract in this way––your military record may be unsullied by disciplinary actions, your report card may be unsullied by grades lower than A.
Definitions of unsullied

Good deed is punishedFebruary 02,2013Staff Report
LONDONDERRY A good Samaritan, who stopped to give someone a ride Wednesday night in Londonderry, had her car stolen by the hitchhiker.
Vermont State Police said that Stacey Bonang, 45, of Weston, picked up a woman hitchhiker on Route 11, near the Mill Restaurant in Londonderry. Bonang gave the woman a ride to the Londonderry Plaza, and Bonang left the woman alone in her vehicle when the woman requested to make a private phone call.
At this point, the female locked the doors and drove off, the police report stated. Bonangs vehicle, a maroon 2012 Subaru Forester with Vermont registration FSH112, was later found Thursday morning crashed into a tree on Route 100 in Weston, near Piper Hill Road.
Bonang reported her car stolen at 8:40 p.m.
The hitchhiker was described as 5 foot, 5 inches tall, with a slender build, wearing a black jacket and dark hair tucked up into a hat. The woman was wearing jeans and boots, with the jeans tucked into the boots. The hitchhiker was wearing glasses.
Anyone with information about the unknown woman is asked to call the Vermont State Police, Rockingham barracks, at (802)-875-2112.
Police reminded motorists that picking up hitchhikers, although a kind gesture, can be a dangerous activity. Police recommended that people not pick up hitchhikers, or if they do, use extreme caution.MORE IN This Just InMichael Chadwick adores karate, but the 27-year-old with cerebral palsy needs a lift to get into...

iPad Air video demo
We take a tour of Apple's slimmer, more powerful tablet
GADGET DESIGNER Apple's iPad Air tablet made its debut in the UK on Friday, boasting a slimmer profile and more powerful components than the firm's previous tablets.
The iPad Air features the same 9.7in Retina display as its predecessors, but the screen is powered by Apple's new 64-bit A7 chip and the M7 co-processor, which debuted in the iPhone 5S. Unlike Apple's flagship smartphone however, there's no Touch ID sensor and no upgrade to the camera.
Still, compared to Apple's previous tablets, the iPad Air is 28 percent lighter at 469g, has a 48 percent smaller bezel and measures just 7mm thick, making it the lightest full-sized tablet on the market.
The tablet, available in 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB models, also features Apple's iOS 7 mobile operating system with free iWork apps, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi and optional 4G LTE connectivity.

Official trailer for Ridley Scott's Robin Hood let loose
- Details
- 15 December 2009
- By Gerard Wood
With the arguable exception of Avatar, 2009 was a fairly disappointing year for SF and fantasy movies when all is said and done. Fortunately 2010 is full of promise with an outstanding lineup that includes The Book of Eli, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Clash of the Titans, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Part 1), Iron Man 2, Prince of Persia, Tron Legacy, Solomon Kane (which is technically a long-overdue 2009 release) and The Wolfman. Vying with Solomon Kane for top spot in my list of most highly anticipated movies however is Ridley Scott's Robin Hood and if this first official trailer (below) is a good measure of what to expect, we can finally lay to rest the awful memory of Kevin Reynold's Prince of Thieves.
We've been following this project for almost three years when it was first rumoured that Scott was contemplating a revisionist version of the legend. Back then the movie was called Nottingham and Russell Crowe was to play a sympathetic Sheriff of Nottingham trying to deal with a less than virtuous thief by the name of Robin Hood. Later the rumour morphed into a bizarre suggestion that Crowe would play both the Sheriff and Robin Hood, and then it was revealed that the Sheriff was in fact Robin Hood in cunning disguise.
Fortunately the ridiculous and ill-advised revisions have been revised out of existence in place of an overdue reinvigoration of the legend by one of the true masters of gritty realism, Ridley Scott. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, more than anything else it's Scott's involvement with this project that justifies another retelling for the big screen. As a director Scott has a feel for the real, bringing a gritty realism as much to his fantastical and historical films as to his more contemporary movies. If anyone can draw out the legend's contemporary relevance in what otherwise risks being dismissed as a Medieval fairy tale, Ridley Scott can.
Robin Hood is due in cinemas in May and stars Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, William Hurt, Matthew Macfadyen, Mark Strong and Max von Sydow amongst others.
This version was released on 11 March.
Another retelling of the Robin Hood legend is also in the works, an action adventure set in a dystopian futuristic London.

"OPERATION CA-35" is a joint project of discovery conducted by Trident Research & Recovery, Inc. of
The name assigned to this project is derived from the wartime German Naval marine quadrant location of the U-Boat wreckage initially located in 1993. The term 'CA' refers directly to the German navigational box coordinate designated for the area immediately off the eastern shore of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, with the numbers '35' referring to the location within that designated box.
The process of discovery is a very time consuming matter. The reader must keep in mind that this brief is preliminary and therefore, incomplete. As information is received and assessed by Trident and
The availability of recently declassified military, political and intelligence documents are slowly assisting the professional researcher in filling in the gaps of World War Two history. Instead of seeing what appears to be a convoluted series of events we are now starting to understand just how the geopolitical strategies of the various governments involved in the conflict actually dictated the outcome of the battlefield scenario.
With this in mind, we will relate here a general status of World War Two as it stood during the summer and fall of 1944, and then lay in the minute details that actually affected the important events unfolding during this time frame.
During the summer of 1944 the
In fact, a little over a year earlier in the month of February, 1943 the German military and civilian populace witnessed the disastrous events unfolding on the Russian Front. With the loss of the city of
Highly placed military leaders such as Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, Chief of Germany's leading intelligence agency the 'Abwehr', and Field Marshals Walter von Kluge and Erwin Rommel, as well as several high-ranking staff officers within the Kriegsmarine and Wehrmacht, actively conspired in the failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler on the 29th of July 1944.
While the German military was attempting to eliminate the problem at its source, (Adolf Hitler), the conservative civilian opposition groups were attempting to alter the inevitable outcome of the war by initiating contacts with the "Western Allies",
The Western Intelligence agencies and military commands were well aware of just what was going on inside
The President of the
Operationally, the German U-Boat force still managed to keep its U-Boat fleet somewhat active during the summer and fall of 1944. The official records indicate that most of the available U-Boats were operationally concentrated within the
During the first week of July, 1944 an incident involving a U-Boat and the U.S. Naval Airship "K-14" occurred off Bar Harbor, Maine. As is made so painfully clear in the official Inquiry records, the U-Boat in question brought down the "K-14" with 20mm Anti-Aircraft fire resulting in the loss of six Airship crewmen out of a total compliment of ten men. The Inquiry and related intelligence reports also show that the "K-14" was somewhat successful in at least severely damaging the enemy vessel. Unfortunately, this incident was also kept secret for over 54 years.
Another situation occurred on 20 August of this year. The U-1229 was intercepted on the surface off the eastern edge of the
What was not known by most military men at this time, however, was the fact that the Type XI U-Boat was also proceeding to the American coast - at that time located only 20 nautical miles distant from the U-1229 at the time of the latter's demise.
According to the official design drafts laid out for the German Type XI-B U-Cruiser in 1939, the specifications for this vessel were as follows:
Length Overall:
115 meters (377 ft.)
9.5 meters (31.3 ft.)
6.2 meters (20.3 ft.)
Extreme Displacement:
3,630 tons
6,800 tons +
Propulsion Machinery:
2-shaft diesel/electric motors,(eight 12cyl. diesel engines in two separate engine rooms), plus two high-grade electric motors in third compartment
4 torpedo tubes in the bow
2 torpedo tubes in the stern
6 torpedoes in ready-fire with
6 spare torpedoes carried below internal storage plates.
Above-Deck Armament:
4 127mm Guns in two twin armored turrets.
2 37mm AA mounted on deck amidships.
2 20mm AA mounted in after Wintergarten.
Ammunition Carried:
940 rounds total of 127mm.
4,000 rounds total of 37mm.
2,000 rounds total of 20mm.
(all carried in 3 separate magazines)
110 men, with capability to carry an additional compliment of two companies of "Special Coastal Troops" ('Brandenburgers')
Cargo Capacity:
600 cubic tons above provisions.
1 One-Man "Arado/Argus 231" reconnaissance seaplane stowed in forward vertical storage tube.
As detailed within the Kriegsmarine "K" Design Office, there were to be a total of four of these monstrous vessels laid down, with the possibility of constructing an additional four vessels should time and resources permit. However, it is known that only four keels were laid and that one was actually launched, the others eventually being scrapped prior to the end of the war before completion. The U-Boat Command intentions were to assign the numbers U-112 through U-115 to the first four vessels of the class. However, Kriegsmarine commissioning records reflect no such assignment of numbers and for all practical purposes the Type XI was never officially commissioned.
Very little is known about the Type XI-B U-Boat. All official histories state that the vessel type was never built and numerous publications indicate that the Type XI-B submarine design went only as far as a preliminary 'keel laying' at the building yards of Deschimag-A.G. Weser in
Amplified reports obtained from interviewed veterans of both the Allied and Axis intelligence services indicate very strongly that at some point during its existence, most probably in early 1944, the Type XI was berthed at the supposedly neutral ports of
Of primary importance in connection with this area of course are the German series of Special Operations known as "JOLLE", (translated as "Happy Boat") and "AKTION FEUERLAND", (meaning "Action Land-of-Fire", referring to the southern geographical area of
As previously outlined within the 'Overview', the German Opposition groups were becoming increasingly bolder in their attempts at contacting the Western Allies through the various intelligence agencies. Those Opposition Group members associated with German Industrial concerns were the boldest, and possessed all the right connections to persue negotiations for an acceptable armistice. The sole motive for the German Industrialists was obvious. They wished to maintain their corporate identity AND their financial assets for the post-war period. There were also many American Industrial concerns who wished to see this as well since a large percentage of ownership in these German companies were held by large American corporations - a blatant violation of the 'Trading With The Enemy Act'.
The accessed research documents show that by June of 1944 there were no less than eight separate meetings between German Industrialists and agents of the Office of Strategic Services. The most active American in these efforts was Allen W. Dulles, the OSS Chief of Station head quartered in the neutral city of
The professional background of Allen Dulles and his brother, John Foster Dulles, are most interesting. It seems that both men were heavily involved in pre-war dealings between American and German Corporations through their law firm of 'Sullivan & Cromwell' in
While all of these manipulations were going on within the Allied camp,
Of particular note are the individual operations of German corporations. Firms such as I.G.Farben and Krupp Industries were known to have liquidated their stock holdings into either gold coin or bars by June of 1944 in anticipation of secreting these hard assets into the neutral countries of Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Portugal and, most importantly -
What helped to speed up both the safe guarding of German corporate assets and attempts at armistice negotiations were the decisions of the Breton Woods International Monetary Conference held at Breton Woods,
When one studies the known movements of wealth and the options then open to both the German Anti-Nazi diplomats and Industrialists, it becomes obvious that drastic measures are indeed being planned. In September of 1944 a much delayed Finnish Intelligence report surfaced referring to a "Hitler Escape Boat" being made available at the
The long trail of records show that this vessel departed the
A "Controlled Panic" caused the Industrial Opposition to deploy this vessel as quickly as possible for a two-fold mission: to negotiate an acceptable armistice directly with
The date of August 25, 1944 appeared to begin as any normal day along the Eastern Sea Frontier. But, the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence had been continuously briefed over the past few days by the British Admiralty "ULTRA" of an "Unknown" U-Boat heading their way. On 15 August Admiralty informed U.S. Navy "COMINCH", (meaning Commander-In-Chief), that a U-Boat they had designated as "LT" was heading across the Atlantic and that they suspected it was on a "SPECIAL MISSION" since it was observing radio silence and not reporting its daily position, as was the normal routine among U-Boat Commanders of the time.
On the 17th of August British Admiralty appears to be reasonably sure that the mystery vessel was bound to the American coast, but inquire further from
By the 18th. British Admiralty admitted to
Then on 20 August the U-1229 was successfully sunk by U.S. Naval forces just east of the Grand Banks, as stated within the "ULTRA" radio-intercept transmission, as follows:
"TWO OFFICERS AND ONE PROPAGANDIST AMONG 41 P/S FROM LOVE EASY x C.O. LOST x YOUR 1279 PARA 4 x LOVE TARE HEADING BAFFLING BUT BEST GUESS IS HE IS APPROACHING ST JOHNS AREA x THIS CONSISTENT WITH AMERICA II..."
Again, on the 21st. U.S. "COMINCH" requested further information from the British Admiralty concerning the unknown U-Boat in question by stating:
"WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR FURTHER VIEWS AND WHEN CONVENIENT COMMENT ON QUERIES MY 386 AND 387 x".
After comparing all of the pertinent documents to the numerous other operational intelligence material is becomes obvious that the "ULTRA" staff are completely unaware of the actual mission of the Type XI-B U-Cruiser, whereas certain other intelligence operatives are totally aware of the facts. This is a typical example of "need to know" restrictions between intelligence departments.
By the early evening of the 25th. it becomes obvious that the Type XI was successful in evading the U.S. Naval Task Forces east of the
At this same time O.N.I. Telegrapher
O.N.I. Telegrapher Howley duly re-transmitted this message over his teletype to the U.S. Naval Cryptographic Center in
The following operations, which lasted over two days, are code named "OBSCURE CINCH" and "LADY BULL". According to the 'Official' record these "Special Searches" resulted in no activity and no confirmation of any subsequent action at the scene. The fact that these operations occurred at exactly the same location as the present location of the wreckage of the Type XI-B discovered in 1993, however, is extremely indicative. Veteran interviews have revealed that the subject U-Boat was actually sunk by the Naval Airship "K-25", with the small surface vessels conducting a 48 hour surface search for survivors and debris. The official records certainly tend to support the follow-up search for debris, often termed as a "Yankee Search".
Unfortunately, only a further declassification of existing"Operational" documents would provide additional insight into exactlywhat happened and how it happened.
The first hint of the existence of a U-Boat wreck off Cape Cod occurred in 1988, when now Trident President Edward Michaud heard for the first time the accepted stories of its demise off the Cape from a local tug-boat skipper named Warren LeGyte. Michaud had been running a sixty-one foot crew-boat out of
By June of 1993 Michaud had joined up with several dedicated professionals in an attempt to re-locate the legendary Cape Cod U-Boat and on the 5th. of that month the first hazy side scan sonar images of the wreckage were obtained. Equipment and financing, however, were slow in coming and it was 9 December of 1993 before any detailed sonar images of the wreck could be obtained.
Upon the initial discovery in June it was assumed by all involved in the project that the U-Boat located off
By November of 1994 the first detailed sonar imagery of the Type XI armored gun-mounts were obtained utilizing E.G.&G sonar equipment. This left little doubt as to the vessel's structural confirmation. The following month of December brought with it a dive to the confirmed wreck site by Michaud and fellow diver Mike Turner. Although underwatervisibility was at an all time low of one foot, a total of fifteen small artifacts were recovered from around the wreck's pressure-hull. It was noticed that the wreck overall was heavily encased in huge drifts of sand ledges, as is to be expected in the area. As an example, just several miles to the west the 325 foot long wreckage of the steam-freighter "Dixie Sword" is almost completely covered in the same pattern of sand disposition.
In March of 1995 Michaud and his group incorporated as Trident Research & Recovery, Inc. and by June the new company had filed for, and received, exclusive rights of salvage for the German Type XI-B U-Boat in the First Federal District Court in
Of special interest to the company was the exact disposition of the wreckage and how this information correlated with the known research facts.
An Archaeologist was added to the survey team to insure proper methodology in the project. Additional Archivists and Researchers were consulted and the process of discovery continued both in the Archival repositories and on the site of the wreck itself.
As of August, 1997 Trident Research & Recovery, Inc. and Sub-Sea Research, Inc. of
The new Joint Venture will concentrate on obtaining video-tape footage of the Type XI-B wreck site and is presently planning on follow-up recovery operations. All vessel artifacts so recovered are slated for preservation and ultimate public display at the
It should be noted that Trident has attempted on many occasions to open a dialogue with the respective offices of the U.S. Department of State, the Federal Republic of Germany and the U.S. Department of the Navy. All such requests for open discussion have gone ignored. It is hoped that in the near future this situation can be resolved. However, given the political revelations as described above, its really not very surprising that Government offices refuse to discuss this Project and its related investigations.
Several Senators and Congressmen have been notified by Trident in an attempt to both open such dialogues and assist in further investigations into the original 1944 incident. We at Trident and Sub-Sea believe that there will probably be more developments in this area as the Project moves forward. Apparently, the missing link was the Type XI.
There has been some very interesting revelations in the Project's follow-up of research data. Due to the efforts of contributing researcher Mr. Eric Brothers U.S. State Department Protocol documents are now available to confirm one of this investigation's long-standing curiosities - the visit of members of the Dutch Royal Family to Chatham, Cape Cod during the very same time-frame in which the German Type XI-B U-Boat was known to have been operational off Cape Cod.
These documents consist of a series of notifications between the representatives of the Dutch Royal Family in exile and the Protocol Section of the Department of State. On the surface they do indeed appear to be routine in nature. It is only when viewed with the other known occurrences off
For example: One of the most obvious details that stand out is the sudden departure from Chatham of Princess Juliana and her royal attendants on the morning of the 26th of August, 1944, only hours after the known destruction of the Type XI fourteen miles to the southeast. This, combined with a published news report in the local Cape Cod Times for that date, quote the Princess as opening a short public statement upon her departure, stating: "I will not talk about anything political and cannot take questions". She goes on to say how the Royal Family enjoyed their stay at the Chatham Bars Inn, etc.
Within five minutes the impromptu interview is over and the Royal Family departs by car for Boston enroute to Canada. The fact that these State Department Protocol documents were only declassified at the time Mr. Brothers requested to view them in July of 1997 is possibly indicative - fifty four years after the fact.
To add to this new information Trident had conducted background research into the Dutch Royal Family due to its suspicions and has confirmed the following:
1) The Royal Consort, Prince Bernhardt, Husband of Juliana since 1937, was previous to their marriage an active card-carrying member of Hitler's black-shirted SS.
2) Prince Consort Bernhardt was employed prior to, during, and after the war by I.G.Farben's Industrial Espionage Unit "NW-7" which, needless to say, placed him under great suspicions by both the British and American intelligence communities. The mere fact of his employment as an "industrial spy" for Farben places him squarely within the sphere of the German Industrial community, links for which have already been established with the Type XI-B U-Boat.
There are many more details regarding the Dutch Royal Family, Prince Bernhardt, Princess Juliana and the German Industrialists which have not been included in this specific brief due to space considerations. However, the basic facts as listed above give very strong indications regarding the Dutch Royal visit to
The Type XI German U-Boot was designed in 1938 along the lines of a World War I U-Cruiser with long range and heavy armament, designed to win surface gun battles. The Type XI was designed to carry a float plane to scout ahead of the submarine much as the raiders did in the early parts of World War II. Kriegsmarine planners looked hard at the Type XI and determined that it was too big to be an effective submarine, and too small to be a surface warship, This type of submarine was quite successful in World War I with the conditions then prevailing, but in World War II with the highly advanced ASW capabilities of the Allies, the designers realized that this type of submarine and this kind of submarine warfare would not work in WW II.

Grizzly Comet and IceFaces
By alexismp on Oct 26, 2007
Since this previous post showing early work on integrating ICEFaces and GlassFish v2, version 1.6.1 of ICEFaces 1.6.1 was released with support for GlassFish v2 (see ICEfaces Deployment Instructions for SUN Glassfish V2).
This time, Ted blogs about preliminary integration between ICEFaces' AJAX Bridge and Grizzly Comet, leveraging its asynchronous request processing (ARP) implementation to provide better scalability with many connected clients.
This requires pre-releases of both ICEFaces (1.7DR2) and GlassFish (v2.1ur1). Jean-François' related post explains how to integrate the more recent Grizzly 1.0.18 into GlassFish v2 in you do not wish to use a v2.1 UR1 promoted build.

Jeff Gordon and Johnny Manziel? Unfortunately the coupling of the four-time Sprint Cup Series champion and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner didn't happen on Thursday, but Gordon officially unveiled the Texas A&M car he'll be driving this weekend at a Thursday appearance in College Station, Texas.
The CEO of Axalta Coating Systems, the company that purchased Gordon's long-time sponsor DuPont, is an A&M graduate. So he paid for the Aggie paint scheme Gordon will strap into at Texas Motor Speedway.
Maybe the luck of the SEC will be upon Gordon at Texas? Jamie McMurray was the last driver to run a college paint scheme when he drove an Auburn car at Talladega last fall. He won the race.
Gordon also stopped by Texas A&M's football practice Thursday and met with coach Kevin Sumlin. Gordon now even has a custom No. 24 Texas A&M jersey, but much like Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s basketball career, we don't think Gordon will be making a switch to football anytime soon.
When Gordon drove the car around the A&M campus Thursday, College Station's KBTX quoted a student who wished Gordon's car would be the No. 12 for the Texas A&M 12th man. We have to laugh at that comment. For as famous as the A&M 12th man story is, there's no way Gordon would be switching numbers for a race. His number may be as or more iconic in NASCAR than the 12th man is in college football.

Happy Monday Kuties!
These shoes spend more time in my kloset than they do on my feet. In an effort to #shopmykloset and wear more of what I don't I decided to build a look around them.
You know I'm all about optimizing the kloset here on KK and today's post is a great example of how you can kreate multiple looks with one piece and make the most of your kloset!
I have been holding on to this dress for a some time now, waiting for the right moment wear it out and about. Said moment has yet to arrive but I couldn't let the year past without pulling it out the kloset.
No need to winterize this maxi… the sun was blazing on this October day in NYC, making it feel more like mid summer than early Fall. This dress was great for the stroke of heat and the perfect kick off to a 3 day weekend.
A maxi dress paired with luxe fabrics like velvet is the perfect combo to take you from Day to a Formal evening of play
Typically, I like to take it easy on Wednesday. It's the middle of the week and I'm antsy for the weekend to get here! This maxi is no fuss fashion; great for giving me a pulled together look while appealing to my relaxed weekend vibe at the same time.

Breast Cancer Drug Lapatinib Works Best With Food
July 23, 2007
A study by Dartmouth researchers presented at the March 2007 annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics showed that taking the breast cancer drug lapatinib with food results in greater absorption of the drug. Normally patients take lapatinib on an empty stomach.
The primary objective of the Dartmouth study was to quantify the effect of meals with high and low fat content on lapatinib. Twenty-seven pts (17 female, 10 male) with a variety of solid tumors were enrolled in a Phase I oncology study. Each patient received a single 1500 mg oral dose of lapatinib on three different occasions, randomly assigned to conditions of fasting overnight or following a high or low fat breakfast. Blood samples were collected up to 48 hours after lapatinib administration and plasma lapatinib concentrations were measured. Upon completion of this assessment, patients could continue to receive 1500 mg lapatinib daily.
The data showed that lapatinib absorption significantly increased compared to the fasted state, by approximately 3- and 4- fold when given with a low-fat and high-fat meal, respectively. These changes in relative bioavailability were positively related to the fat and/or caloric content of the meal.
Nandi Reddy, MBBS , a fellow in clinical pharmacology at Dartmouth, was the lead author of the study, and Lionel Lewis, MD, professor of medicine and of pharmacology and toxicology at Dartmouth, was the senior author.

Sweet Chick Indeed Opening in the Former Max Fish Space
The Williamsburg chicken and waffles spot hatches a second location.
The Pink Pony and Max Fish are gone, but as speculated last month, Williamsburg chicken and waffles restaurant Sweet Chick will open next spring at 178 Ludlow Street. (Ulli Rimkus's famed bar, in the meantime, will reopen near the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn). Partners John Seymour and Sam Saleh officially signed the lease last week.
Sweet Chick opened in February, featuring a rambling menu of chef Randy Reppel's variations on chicken and waffles, including a vegetarian version, with an accompanying menu of sides like hominy Brussels sprouts, which are typically doled out in jumbo portions. Expect more of the same at Sweet Chick Manhattan. "We're psyched to take over such a dope location," says Seymour.

After 42 years I thought at least a fictional treatment of the time during my last year at Kent could be put to paper or screen. I and my accomplished author wife completed Life's What Happens and the book I believe captures the time between September, 1969 and May 5th and the impact of the decisions made by many on their entire life. It is now available on Amazon. The mood in the nation and on the campuses across the U.S. triggered first Vietnam War draft laid the foundation for the unrest and events that followed. One of those was Kent State.

I wasn't there but on the Friday after the shooting, I was in a bar, Dirty Frank's, in Philadelphia, Pa with friends Jerry & Trudy. We decided to drive down to Washington then to join Saturday's protest march on Washington. We picked up two hitchhikers, one had joined the Marines rather than be drafted so he could attend the Newport jazz festival. All DC universities opened their doors during the night; we slept on the floor of American U. I don't remember much about who spoke or what was said; I just thought it important to be there. We picked up two different hitchhikers on the way home and let them off on the NJ turnpike.

I was a senior at Kent State...excited to graduate. That day I went to Bowman Hall to get the results of my final exam grade in American Community - a course out of the sociology dept. I got my grade and walked onto the commons. The armed militia were there along with many students. I walked up the hill and the tear gas caused me to choke. As I was trying to get a breath I heard these poping sounds and I said sarcatically to a student next to me...my God they must be shooting us. Well they were shooting at us and at that moment I ran behind Taylor Hall and the shooting stopped. It was mass panic. Student were screaming and crying and there was blood on the ground and students clutching each other...some injured. I remember that day as if it were yesterday and I cry on every anniversary of the massacre. I am no longer angry. That emotion has left but the sadness will never leave.

They day they shot the Kent State Four changed my life forever. It was if a line in the sand had been drawn and knew which side I was on. I ultimately decided to enroll at Kent State because I needed to do something to prevent that kind of thing from every happening again. And since that day, I have been living my life as two, as the song goes, and remembering Allison, Jeffrey, Sandy and Bill. Ironically, I finished my degree at Kent with a scholarship from Allison Kraus's parents. My heart still aches, and tears still fall on the earth that marks her grave.

This event changed the course of my life. I was 20, working in Kansas City, delivering parts in the company truck when I heard the news. I informed my coworkers -- all, even those my age, agreed that it was about time those hippees got what they deserved. I had to get out... I went back to school and became a teacher so that I might have some influence on such narrow mindedness. A few years ago my daugther and I visited the site as she was making a video for a high school class project -- a profound experience. My chest aches as I write this... now tears.

My father was a professor at the time of the shootings. I was only 4, but I remember very vividly when he came home from work early on May 4. He looked awful. My mom and I asked him what was wrong. "They're killing our children," he answered. "They've shot our students." He went upstairs to be and my mom and I just stared at each other.

I was 10 days shy of my 13th birthday and living in a suburb of Pittsburgh. When I got home from school that day the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was on the hassock in the living room and on its front page was the now inconic photo of the overwrought young girl kneeling over one of the shooting victims. Although it was in neighboring Ohio I had never heard of Kent State. The shooting had more resonance with me later in the summer when Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's song "Ohio" became popular. I've written about this event in my blog at: http://www.HistoryAsYouExperiencedIt.com

Until I heard the news on May 4, I'd been living a pleasant interim life in Columbus, Ohio, marked by my graduation from Ohio State 5 months earlier and waiting for my boyfriend to graduate in early June. On May 3, my family called to summon us to Cleveland due to a sudden family death.
Then May 4. OGodNo. The news of the massacre, its route to me, who was with me, how I reacted -- I remember nothing. My brain made no imprint of those details OR it's not releasing them...yet.
I do, though, remember May 5. The innumerable emotions, the denial, the rational and irrational outrage were swamping me and I find myself on the phone with my mother, telling her we're unable to get to Cleveland -- that bastard Gov. Rhodes, who had ordered the National Guard to Kent, had cordoned off Columbus with its enormous, seething student population. I couldn't pull a coherent thought out of the mix while my mother, very concerned about me, very well-meaning and very naive, said perhaps she could call the governor for me and ask for a permit. I felt as if I'd stepped over the threshhold into madness.
Then my father grabbed the phone. He demanded to know what the hell was the matter with me because, from what he could pick up, I wasn't being cooperative. Shaking with emotion I said, "Daddy...," a word I'd long ago stopped using because it was too sweet for the fit between us -- "Daddy, they're KILLING us!"
As usual he had the appropriate answer ready. "And if you'd been there, YOU should have been shot, too!"
= America had become a country that ate its own young for its own purposes.=
For me, May 4 revisits the wisdom history always teaches: Question Authority.

I was a freshman, living in Korb Hall, on May 4, 1970. I remember standing on the practice football field on the evening of Saturday, May 2, watching the ROTC building burn down. I remember how surreal it was to hear helicopters flying overhead on Sunday night. On Monday morning I was in a 7:45a.m. math class. Suddenly we all jumped in our seats when a load of coal made a loud noise as it was dumped down the coal shute in the building behind us. Our professor commented, "I guess we are all a little tense."
At noon on May 4 I was having lunch in the cafeteria before I left for my work study job in the Department of Education. The cafeteria was empty except for another young woman whom I recognized as a member of the ROTC.
Someone came in and whispered something to her, and she suddently got up and left.
Eventually we made our way to the roof of Korb Hall, and we could see ambulances at the parking lot near the practice football field. When it was announced that the college would be closed, a friend and I hitched a ride with someone driving to Chardon, close enough to our homes in Painesville. I remember stopping in Auburn Corners and using a pay phone to call home to say, "Daddy, I'm OK. We are on our way home."
My mom and my aunt both told me, "They should have killed more people."

I was in class within ear-shot of the shootings. The entire weekend May 1 � 4 was bizarre. Roommates and neighbors from Rhodes Rd. Apts. were together Friday night for the first time & went downtown to take in the ambiance. All hell had broken out with a bonfire on Water St., mayhem in the streets, Law Enforcement Officers had tape over their names, next door neighbor arrested, etc. Working in a restaurant in Richfield Sat. & Sunday PM provided unique challenges trying to return to my domicile on Rhodes Road�. road blocks, helicopters overhead, etc. I recall Monday AM May 4th, the National Guard was in position around campus. They had been on duty escorting striking truckers and were a little tired.
I was in class � Industrial Psych - and we heard the gunfire. The Professor suggested we leave and we did.
I�ve heard the gunfire again today.
I can only cry.
Enough remembering.
I�ve not been back on campus since graduating summer 1970.

Hi, I'm a senior citizen in Baton Rouge, La. and I tried to call the number of NPR's Talk of the Nation, but had no luck.
I remember that infamous day very well, It was a continuation of all the violence of the 1960s and the evil, misguided foreign policy of the US Govt., in Vietnam.. Even in a democracy, when the govt. in Washington, DC feels threatened, it becomes brutal and oppressive. With Nixon as president, at that time, it came as no surprise to me and millions of others who were opposed to the Vietnam War !!

I grew up in nearby Stow, Ohio and was sophomore at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green , Ohio then. My mother lived on Baird Rd. in Stow, right down the road from the KSU airport, and called mt at BG on Friday frightened of what was going on in Kent.
I was invovled in the anti-war movement to a degree at BG and had many friends at Kent-so I came home on Saturday the 2nd. I drove into Kent on Sunday and saw the half track under the archway with the soldier perched ontop with a machine gun pointed down Main Street. I drove onto teh campus and was stopped by a national Guradsman who checked my student ID and told me to get the &*() off the campus and go back to Bowling Green-which I did .
I will never forget the sight of that half track under the archway and the soldiers at all the entrance points to the campus-nor will I forget what happened there on Monday the 4th.
Those events have had a profound impact on my life and will forever. 40 years latter I feel sorrow for the victims and their families as well as those responsible for firng shots and for putting those soldiers with loaded weapons on the campus in the first place.

I was at Kent State's sister school, Ohio University on that horrible day. To this day, the Kent State shootings make me cry out in pain. May 4th shaped my politics for a lifetime.
Shortly after the shootings we at OU started to riot against the establishment, and like Kent, our school closed down for the summer. Then came the Neil Young song which turned into the anthem for a generation.
Power to the people. Not to the banks and corporations.

Most recently this writer returned from a consulting trip abroad in the country of Afghanistan. While working in Kabul, the opportunity was afforded to apply for the Department of Homeland Security's "Global Entry Program" and was approved. The program is described below as taken from their website:
"Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States.
How Does the Global Entry Program Work?
Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Though intended for frequent international travelers, there is no minimum number of trips necessary to qualify for the program. Participants may enter the United States by using automated kiosks located at select airports.
At airports, program participants proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and make a customs declaration. The kiosk issues the traveler a transaction receipt and directs the traveler to baggage claim and the exit.
Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. All applicants undergo a rigorous background check and interview before enrollment.
While Global Entry's goal is to speed travelers through the process, members may be selected for further examination when entering the United States. Any violation of the program's terms and conditions will result in appropriate enforcement action and revocation of the traveler's membership privileges."
Notice the second to last sentence in the description shown above. Although this writer did not learn of this program from the official website it was recommended to expedite entry into the US for people like me who travel internationally frequently. The process requires a preliminary questionnaire which asks about personal information, place of employment and residence as well as criminal history. Applicants are subject to a criminal background check and then must undergo an interview with a DHS investigator.
All of this is very relevant to the rest of this article because not only were all of these steps necessary for this writer, but as a consultant for the US Government, one must also hold a security clearance. This means that as a clearance holder there is nothing that the government doesn't already know about this writer that hasn't been adjudicated prior to the application for Global Entry. I am probably among some of the most vetted people in the country.
16 May, 2014 – Dubai International Airport
This writer posts a status on Facebook after leaving Afghanistan on a five month business trip, while sitting at the International Airport in Dubai. "Free at last!!!!!" These were the words chosen after leaving the war torn depressed country of Afghanistan. Longing for the liberty of America and eager to return to sovereign soil, the words "Free at last" were the only words that one cared to share with the rest of the world.
17 May, 2014 – Atlanta International Airport
Excited to use the newly approved "Trusted Traveler" status, this writer hurried to the kiosk. Bustling past everyone seated in front of me after I exited the plane I was eager to swipe my passport, look into the camera for facial recognition and biometric fingerprint scan and move to the head of the line. The kiosk had spit out a receipt with an X marked upon my likeness on the receipt. This was my very first entry with the program and I was warned in advance by a DHS investigator and a colleague who had enrolled the same time as me, and was also approved. If there was any arrest record it would spit out a receipt with an "X". I would then be taken to see a supervisor and they would clear me since I was approved already. I was told there was no hassle involved. Still excited and happy to be back in America I made my way to the customs counter.
I passed the Customs officer my passport, my receipts from the kiosk and a laminated letter from the DHS that said I was an approved "Trusted Traveler". The customs officer scanned my passport and then asked me not to leave. He explained that I would be escorted further by another officer. Again, this was expected. What was interesting is that neither the officer at the counter nor the escort officer even attempted to explain to me the reason I was being escorted. In fact they began acting suspicious. The officer attempted to escort me by moving to what we call the 2.5 or the tactical position in defensive tactics. Since I showed no signs of threat, nor intended to be a threat, I found this a little over zealous, but being a security professional I understood how inexperienced people may not know of any other response.
I did however decide to test the waters, to see if they would be honest with me if I simply asked why I was being escorted as if I didn't know. The officer played ignorant and told me he didn't know, but it is routine. This is something that I had heard time and again, nearly every time I enter the US via international airport. Once more another reason I decided to apply for the trusted traveler program. I have yet to this day to hear a DHS officer tell the truth to why they bring some people in for additional questioning and searching. Its as if they believe that they are so slick and smart that most of us would never guess that they have our identities marked based on a plethora of criteria; much of which the government keeps secure from us. Most of us who are regularly pulled for additional search and interview are on some sort of DHS government black list.
When I arrived at the supervisor desk under escort, I observed to my right, two lines of people, none who either appeared or sounded American. I also observed at my front a glass holding chamber with chairs approximately ten by fifteen feet. The room contained an electric door which could only be opened by a DHS official from the outside. I recognized this set up from a jail stay, in my distant past. As we approached the desk one of the men behind the counter directed my escort "Put him in the Fish Bowl" as if I weren't even in the same room or was incapable of understanding the English language. This is when I spoke, and asked if I could wait in line like the others I was observing. I was told in a firm voice by the man at the counter, "I'm asking you sir, get in the room" as if I were a child being told to go to my room by my parents. I then explained that if it was all the same I'd prefer not to but to just wait in line. He then raised his voice and commanded that I go in what he referred to as the "Fish Bowl". I refused to go and requested to speak to a supervisor.
Although to the statist and those with less than a spine and even less respect for liberty it appears as if I was being resistant, you are absolutely correct in that assumption. What most people don't understand is that by being placed in that "Fish Bowl", one is denied of their liberty. This can only be done legally for one of two reasons. Either one is being lawfully arrested, or they are being detained for "Probable cause". The first option of lawful arrest is done with lawful authority and a preliminary investigation has been executed based on probable cause. The second option of detention does not require lawful authority but probable cause in order to execute a preliminary investigation to determine whether an arrest is necessary. These are the only two reasons that one may be denied liberty.
After refusing to be held and demanding the reason for detention and the "Parley" with a supervisor, the man behind the desk shouted "Back up, Back up, Backup" Once more the DHS, Border and Customs Agents were overreacting. This is when one found himself surrounded by what I counted as 6 agents. One came to the forefront an officer named Coder. He approached in my personal space when I posted an arm approximately shoulder level for guard and stated firmly "Arms reach" in a warning manner. Mr. Coder much more intelligent than he looked stepped out of my box. It should be stated from the perspective as a security professional and instructor of protective operations, that Mr. Coder was keen on placing his primary firearm within my reach. Yet another example of DHS incompetence. Mr. Coder was asked respectfully whether or not one was being arrested. Officer Coder was taken off guard by the question and said "What?....No." Immediately after he answered that I asked whether I was being detained. Again the answer was "No".
One then asked that if I wasn't being detained or arrested then why I had to be held in a glass cage against my will, and why I couldn't just wait in line like the others. He then explained very clearly in plain English for me, "Because I said so." I explained that I don't execute orders for him or anyone else because they say so and asked for a better reason why. After moments of threatening to revoke my Global Entry status and add additional fines to me and hold me longer with no effect on me, I asked again, "Give me a good reason why I should allow you to deny me my liberty?" This time he responded with the answer that I had no authorization to enter the United States of America and that he couldn't allow me to mingle with those who were. This is the point where I realized that they didn't have the courage to attempt a hard hands approach on me and that they were also not intelligent enough to realize why I was asking about detention or arrest. I decided it quickest to feed their delicate egos and step into the "Fish Bowl".
After waiting about 20 to 30 minutes and after every non-American Citizen had been either arrested, held or adjudicated the thick glass door slid open. I waited for my name and from outside I could hear the man behind the counter say "Do you think he's learned his lesson yet?" They were referring to me in a manner that was intended for me to hear in an amateurish way to impose their "authority" on me. Clearly they were still insulted and intimidated by my lack of respect for them and challenge of authority. I then heard Mr. Coder call me by my last name "Curtiss". I answered without moving and awaited the officer to come to the door; another passive resistance technique designed to make the officer come to me and it worked. Mr. Coder then came to the entrance and escorted me even deeper into the DHS section of the airport. I had asked again why I was held, making the false assumption that they had looked into my record and straightened everything out.
Mr. Coder then again explained to me that it was because he said so. I then stopped walking and attempted a rational conversation, placing him in the shoes of everyday Joe or Jane American citizen. I asked about the Constitution and the fourth amendment. He fired off with "I like the fact that guys like me (referring to himself) are checking into everyone, you don't know how many lives we save each day by stopping attacks". He also explained to me that most cases of mal-intent involved American citizens and not foreigners. He then explained to me that the airport was considered a border and that the fourth amendment was nonexistent there. He then gave a crooked nod and said well it does but doesn't exist. I then interjected and said either you abide by the constitution or you don't. Mr. Coder then referenced the Border Search Exception Law and recommended that I read it.
Mr. Coder, agitated by my relentlessness then blurted angrily "Your arrest record says I can do whatever I want to do to you. You did that not me." At this point I asked him why I was being further interviewed and searched, and he explained that I was carrying a suspicious baggage. The reader should be minded here that I only had a laptop and carry-on backpack. I explained to him that my baggage was carry-on and that it was previously checked by security officials in Afghanistan and Dubai prior to getting on the plane. He then explained to me again in very clear English, that because I had an arrest record, I was a threat and that because of my arrest record I would always be brought in like this every time I attempt to enter the country. This I know to be true because prior to this every time I return to the US I get pulled in for further questioning and searching. Its getting old and beyond annoying, which was why I applied for the additional clearance of Trusted Traveler.
He went on to explain to me that because I had an arrest record (older than 7 years) I was not eligible for Global Entry or the Trusted Traveler program. He then went on boasting about how much he knew about my arrest record, my military background and other stuff, which he proudly explained because "He has access to that kind of stuff". At one point the officer tried to rationalize how I as a soldier would respond to someone not taking heed to my commands in a combat zone. I explained first off that when I was a soldier, I was acting in the capacity of a professional soldier in a time of war and that he was not. I also explained in the many door to door raids and searches that I went to I gave everyone who deserved it the respect that they deserved. I also gave him pointers on how to better approach the situation in the future. He wasn't happy with any of my responses.
At one point he explained to me that the Global Entry "Trusted Traveler Program" does not allow for anyone to be approved if they had ANY arrest record. He then asked me who approved me. When I told him it was at the US Embassy in Afghanistan he complained about how he believed that it was approved based on a professional courtesy from one "veteran to another" and that the individual who approved me will be losing his certification to approve people when Mr. Coder reports it. Mr. Coder also explained how he sometimes thinks he should have joined the military because he "would have been awesome at it". Just when one thought they had their fill of the unprofessionalism of the DHS foot soldiers, it got even better.
At one point another Border officer made his way near us as Coder was going through my bag and passed asking "Is that the guy". I replied simultaneously with Coder "Yes I am the guy"., "Yes that's him". This is when the other officer; completely unremarkable other than the fact that he like the others on duty that day appeared to be overweight and unprofessional, sloppy in procedure and appearance, made a comment about bringing me into another room and holding me longer. That's when Coder chimed in about how he was revoking my Global Entry because I didn't comply with his commands. He then asked if I had traveled with cash, I said no. He then went through my wallet. He then asked if I had food in my bag I said yes, I had a package of jerky. He then asked why I didn't claim it and said "that's another fine I'm adding."
This is when I said "I see that's how it is now, you just make up reasons to mess with people. Shut up and just hurry up and do your F@#$ing job!" He then had the audacity to whine about how he was trying to do his job but I was a bully telling him how to go about doing it. I told him that I believe the type of people that apply to jobs like his are the ones selected based on their propensity to be bullies themselves. The whole exchange was rather bizarre. The question then came about as to what I was doing at the embassy in Afghanistan. I explained that I was a contracted consultant on the behalf of the US Government. Mr. Coder, then wanted specifics of my job, at which point I respectfully declined and explained to him that the specifics of my job were none of his business. This is the point that he explained to me that it is his business because he says so. I was beginning to get the feeling that this jerk really loved his job. One could clearly see at this point there was no reasoning with this guy and I just finally decided to let him "do his job". He again made it known that I was resisting and I made it known to him that if I wanted to resist there wasn't much he could do about it. Somewhere along the line he pulled my mouth guard athletic supporter and MMA gloves out of my bag and mentioned how much he trained in the martial arts.
At last finding common ground and being tired of going tit for tat with Mr. Coder, his colleagues and the Stalin/ Hitler-esque organization they worked for, I decided to allow Mr. Coder and his affinity for the martial arts be the bridge between two warring factions. Eventually he finished, offered a hand shake as a peace treaty and escorted me out the doors to true freedom. Before parting ways I again offered my hand and explained that I wasn't trying to resist but I take my liberty seriously and that I couldn't allow that type of treatment to take place without standing up for what I believed was right. For those out there who lean toward the side of the statists and that I was being unnecessarily resistant; we live in a nation where the police believe that they are warrior cops and every bureaucracy wants to become an enforcement agency complete with their own jackbooted thugs. If each and every one of us doesn't stand up against this type of treatment before we know it we will have nothing left to stand up for.
Ironically enough the type of treatment that this writer received is not protected by the fourth amendment. The 111th Congress has done so much damage to the United States in terms of destroying our liberty and sovereignty, particularly in regard to the fourth amendment of the bill of rights. The border Search Exception Clause basically turned America into NAZI Germany. Allowing exceptions to both the fourth and fourteenth amendments. The law loosely dictates what a routine and non-routine search is and allows the benefit to go to the US Government.
Then there's § 287 (a) (3) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 66 Stat. 233, 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(3), which simply provides for warrantless searches of automobiles and other conveyances "within a reasonable distance from any external boundary of the United States," as authorized by regulations to be promulgated by the Attorney General. The Attorney General's regulation, 8 CFR § 287.1, defines "reasonable distance" as "within 100 air miles from any external boundary of the United States. A few years back this writer published an article about Constitution free zones being within 100 miles of any border.
Fellow Americans, the law no longer protects any of us from invasive searches or draconian procedures executed by the government on the behalf of the government. Please feel free to research the below links as sources to better educate one's self on this matter. In closing I issue a challenge to all those who love liberty. Resist by all means first by passive means but also be ready to stand in the face of tyranny with more stern methods if and when the time should ever come. This in itself was the premise for the American second amendment. The government abuse we have been subjected to as citizens is ridiculous and now the US teeters on the verge of becoming a banana republic. Do not cave and be relentless in the endeavor for liberty.

The West Virginia Feed to Achieve Act is a progressive piece of legislation and is the first of its kind in the nation. The need for the bill was simple: every child needs nutritious meals in order to achieve his or her potential. In the mountain state, due to high rates of poverty, meals provided at school are often the only nutritious meals many children receive daily. The West Virginia Feed to Achieve Act will not only require that every child is given an opportunity to eat a minimum of two nutritious meals per instructional day, it also creates public-private partnerships to secure funding that will provide children with access to healthy, nutritious meals outside of the school day. The West Virginia Feed to Achieve Act will fill in the gaps when kids are most at risk for proper nutrition: after school, weekends, during the summer months, holidays and snow days. Together we can all make West Virginia a healthy hunger-free state one meal at a time.
Collaborations will be made with allied organization to combat childhood hunger in West Virginia and may include partnering with:
The inspiration for Feed to Achieve came to West Virginia Senate Majority Leader John Unger, the originator of the bill, while visiting the third grade students at Berkeley Heights Elementary School in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Senator Unger began an interactive exercise with the students to demonstrate how a bill becomes a law. He asked the students, "If you could change one thing in this school, what would it be?" He heard a couple responses that one would expect to hear from a group of third graders like "a longer recess" and "I'd like to have an extra lunch".
The young pretend senators began to debate these two ideas. When Senator Unger asked one young man why he would support having a second lunch, he responded "I want the second lunch so when I get home, I won't eat mommy and daddy's food and my brother will have something to eat." After hearing this startling response from such a young child, Senator Unger asked the rest of the students how many of them were in the same situation as the little boy. Hands went up all around the room and it was at that moment that the good Senator knew something more must be done to ensure no child goes hungry in West Virginia.
He realized that having the best teachers, innovative curriculum, modern technology and outstanding school facilities are not enough when students are hungry and unhealthy. He found that scientific research shows it also requires good nutrition and physical activity for students to achieve. Senator Unger then established a partnership with the West Virginia Office of Child Nutrition and worked to design and implement the Feed to Achieve Act that came to life and is having great results in West Virginia.
The West Virginia Office of Child Nutrition is committed to ending childhood hunger and providing nutritious meals to all our children. We all want our kids to be healthy and successful in life.

Elkhart County power outages continue in wake of Tuesday's storm
Utility companies are working to restore power to more than 7,000 Elkhart County customers who are still without power after Tuesday's storms. Find out when you can expect your power to be back here.
Thousands of Elkhart County residents are still without power a day after severe storms ripped through northern Indiana.
Strong winds of up to 70 mph pulled down trees and wires, knocking out power to more than 60,000 customers Tuesday morning, July 1.
As of 7:45 a.m. Wednesday, July 2, 5,856 Elkhart County NIPSCO customers were still in the dark. Goshen was the heaviest-hit area, with 4,897 customers without power.
Indiana Michigan Power reported 1,059 customers without power Wednesday morning.
The utility companies said Tuesday afternoon that full power restoration could take several days as crews worked to replace dozens of snapped utility poles and downed wires.
"These guys working here are working 16-hour days," Paul Chodak, president and COO of I&M, told The Elkhart Truth's news partner WNDU. "And, they'll work 16-hour days until the job is done."
I&M said that most of its customers in Elkhart County had power restored by Wednesday evening. All customers are expected to have power by 6 p.m. Thursday.
NIPSCO reported at about 6:30 p.m. that 2,840 customers in Goshen were still without power.
Cleanup continued in Goshen, with most of the main roads reopening, Street Commissioner Denny Long said.
Berkey Avenue, which was closed in some areas following the storm, reopened Wednesday afternoon. Clinton Street, between Greene Road and Riverside Boulevard, remained closed, but Long said it's expected to reopen by noon on Thursday.
A tree fell along Clinton Street, bringing down a light pole and blocking the street entirely. Residents on Clinton Street were left without power and in some cases their homes were damaged by debris.
Greene Road was closed late Wednesday afternoon to allow the power company to work on some downed poles and lines along the road. The repairs on Greene Road will restore power to a great number of residents on the north side of Goshen, Long said.
Greene Road will reopen when all repairs are completed there, Long said.

Bill Frisell, born as William Frisell in Baltimore, Maryland on March 18, 1951, is well-known as one of the world most famous Jazz guitarists. He is in the same line as Pat Metheny, Larry Coryell, John Scofield, John McLaughlin or Al DiMeola. Two of his albums, "The Continentals" (2003) and "History, Mystery" (2009) were Grammy Award Nominees. His 2005 album, "Unspeakable", won Grammy Award of Best Contemporary Jazz Album category.
Frisell learned playing clarinet from Jack Steven at the age of 9. He got his first guitar, a Christmas gift, at the age of 12. He bought Beach Boys, Little Deuce Coupe/Surfer Girl recordings a year later. He played with his first school band as a saxophone player. In 1965, he watched live concert, Herman Hermits, for the first time. He watched so many live shows since then namely Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Ravi Shankar, James Brown and Buffalo Springfield.
Young Frisell also listened to Chicago Blues such as Otis Rush, B.B King and Buddy Guy. He ever studied music at University of Northern Colorado before administering himself to Berklee College of Music in Boston. He ever learned music from Jim Hall and Jon Damian there.
Frisell lived in New York in 1979. He played in quartet there together with Kermit Driscoll (Bass), Joey Baron (Drum) and Hank Roberts (Cello) and became trio at the end due to the quitting of Hank Roberts.
The biggest leap of his career came in 1981. Pat Metheny could not join to make a recording at that time and Frisell was recommended to take Metheny's place to Paul Motian in making "Psalm" (1982) for the famous ECM Records. Frisell became "in-house guitar player" since then and played in several albums produced by ECM. He made his own album entitled "In Line" produced by ECM a year later.
Frisell moved to Seattle, Washington in 1988. At the beginning of 90s, he made his 2 best albums, "Have a Little Faith" and "This Land". He quitted from his trio band in the middle of 90s and started playing 'Bluegrass and Country' in his music.
He became Music Director of "Century of Song", one of Art Festival Show series of Rurh Trienale in Germany from 2003 to 2005. He invited Suzanne Vega, Arto Lindsay, Van Dyke Parks, Buddy Miller, Ron Sexsmith, and Elvis Costello to sing their favorite songs with new arrangement.
Frisell has produced 200 recordings including 25 albums of his own in his 25-year career. He has collaborated with many artists such as Ginger Baker, Marc Johnson, Jim Hall, Lyle Mays, Joe Lovano, John Scofield, Vernon Reid, Vinnie Colaiuta, Kermit Driscoll, Joey Baron, Ron Carter, Paul Motion, John Zorn, David Sanborn, Petra Haden, Dale Bruning and others both in recordings and on stages.
He has been as a music director in several movies like Gary Larson's "Tales from the Farside", The 1998's "Psycho" and "Finding Forrester" both directed by Gus van Sant, HBO documentary movie, "American Hollow", directed by Rory Kennedy and also "Millions Dollar Hotel" by Wim Wender (together with Brian Blade, Greg Cohen, Adam Horn and Bono). In addition, he was on several TV programs like Night Music, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Sessions at West 54th Street. Frisell often performed live in jazz club like "The Tractor Tavern", Seattle or "Village Vanguard" in New York City.
The following names, Jimi Hendrix, Thelonious Monk, Bob Dylan, Gary Burton, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Chick Corea, Bill Evans, Aaron Copland, Frank Zappa even The Beatles and Miles Davis surely become Bill Frisell's inspiration.
Frisell sounds different when playing due to his bluegrass, country, classic, folk and rock touch played in jazz he is performing. And he is also recognized as a player who loves to make unique sound character, sounding as unusual and wider character in his guitar. As a jazz guitarist, it's obvious that he does master Bebop but Frisell shows himself more as "The Great Storyteller" when playing. In other words, theme is the priority in his solo.
Besides as a "Post-Modern Jazz Guitarist", in 80s era, Frisell showed different skills and techniques from other jazz guitarists but his character, style, and imagination in his playing were incredible. Only few had them and he didn't want to imitate what other guitarists did. This makes Frisell sound so unique and different, having something and becoming something as a jazz guitarist. This was proved when the writer was watching his show in Village Vanguard, NYC in 2007.
Another interesting thing of Bill Frisell is that he is able to play "Crossover". Collaborated with John Zorn, he played Grunge. In his Quartet album, he showed his strong surealistic approach or Industrial in "In Line" and "Where in The World" and also some World Music color in "The Intercontinental". He sounds melancholic in "Ghost Town" album and becomes much more imaginative in "Good Dog, Happy Man".
Bill Frisell is a musician that does not stick to only one genre. He is very eclectic.
