Inaddition, each account stresses the importance of relaying the truthin a painful situation, and how to applaud the beauty of life.
A Professor Emerita of Surgery and Medical Humanities at SouthernIllinois University, Norma Wylie, R.N., M.S.N. produced thiscollection of tales of the human experience with two associates,Terrill Mast and Jay Kennerly.

I am writing to comment on the recent article concerning the Viaggio Winery. Let me first confess I know nothing about the Williamson Act and all the legal mumbo jumbo it is sure to include.
What I do know is that I recently had the privilege of attending a customer appreciation event held at the Viaggio, hosted by Delta Blood Bank. My reasons for attending were quite selfish. I wanted to see the winery I had heard so much about and hopefully visit with some friends.
I was not disappointed. It is in a breathtaking location along the river, its is extremely well maintained and fits very well among the surrounding vineyards.
It would be a shame to see the Viaggio not able to host the events that their customers choose to have there. Think of the workers it would affect: security personnel, parking attendants, food and drink servers, caterers, florists and others. In this economy, why would anyone want to send any revenue out of our area?
What about those wineries that have concerts at their locations, like Ironstone in Murphys or Michael~David in Lodi? As long as wine is served or sold, I just don't understand what the big deal is. They are promoting their products, which is the basic idea of a business.
A huge thank you to Delta Blood Bank for putting on this event and their choice of the Viaggio.

Skip to comments.Harvard re-examines Dred Scott decision
Posted on 04/09/2007 7:08:03 AM PDT by presidio9
A century and a half after the Supreme Court ruled in the Dred Scott decision that no black slave or free could ever become a U.S. citizen, the case's legacy is still being debated.
The fallout from the 1857 decision, which helped spark the Civil War, was the subject of a mock re-hearing of the case before a 10-member court led by Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer at Harvard Law School on Saturday.
While the decision, issued by Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, is almost universally seen as the moral low point of the court's history, participants in the mock hearing said the case still had a lot to say to the country 150 years later.
Former Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr said the case has a lesson for judges. Besides being racist and morally bankrupt, the Dred Scott decision also reflected the arrogance of judges like Taney, who tried to elevate themselves over the U.S. Constitution, he said.
"This is an enduring lesson this isn't just a history lesson for judges including of course justices of our Supreme Court to be humble, because Chief Justice Taney was anything but humble," Starr said. "Quite apart from its immorality as a matter of natural justice and fairness, it also showed the arrogance on the part of the Supreme Court."
In the ruling, Taney wrote that since the country's founding, blacks had been "bought and sold, and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made."
Even more troubling for many, was Taney's dismissal of the promise of the Constitution that "all men are created equal."
"It is too clear for dispute, that the enslaved African race were not intended to be included, and formed no part of the people who framed and adopted this declaration," Taney, a former slave owner, wrote at the time.
Breyer said the case raises not just legal and ethical questions, but practical questions for justices involved in thorny moral legal cases.
"For me it immediately raises the question as a judge: How do you talk to other judges and persuade them about matters where you really think they're going to do something quite wrong?" Breyer said. "Do you talk only on a technical level?"
"Or," he added, "do you just go around perhaps saying through your words and voices, 'This is a real horror?'"
The decision is both a history lesson and a cautionary tale, according to John Payton, another lawyer participating in the mock hearing. It shows how far the country has come from its slave-holding past, but can also shed a light on lingering racism and other aftereffects of the decision, he said.
"The United States today uses the highest principles that we're all familiar with democracy, justice, rights and responsibility but that's not what the country was in 1857," Payton said.
"It's important for us to appreciate what we were in 1857 to better understand what we are today," he added.
History ping
"It's important for us to appreciate what we were in 1857 to better understand what we are today," he added.
The slavery situation in 1857 was wrong. But in terms of our country being a republic (not a democracy), justice, rights, and responsibility -- I would say the this country was doing more right in 1857 than we are today.
Oh, and I don't think Dred Scott was the "moral low point" of the Supreme Court. That, clearly, was Roe v Wade.
This is the previous time the Supremes declared as property something that was clearly human, it wasn't animal, vegetable, or mineral.
I leave it to your discerning analysis which other time they've done the same thing. We all know how the Dred Scott fiasco was resolved, I pray the other isn't resoved the same way.
I would say that the "big 3" moral low points for SCOTUS have been Dred Scott, Plessy v. Ferguson and Roe v. Wade. However, the true culprit has always been and always will be Marbury v. Madison, because this is the vehicle that the Supreme Court used to usurp powers that it is clearly not given in the Constitution and from this has come their unconstitutional authority to adjudicate new law.
Somehow, I don't see the girly-men on the left fighting very hard for "women's rights." If there is to be a Civil War over abortion, I don't see it lasting very long.
I doubt that the author can find those words in the Constitution since they are of course in the Declaration of Independence but not in the Constitution.
As usual, libs don't let "feelings" get in the way of facts. which they like to make up as they go...
It would be more accurate to say that the country in 1857 was severely divided over these principles, with some wanting to ditch them and others trying to keep them.
The Dred Scott decision and the Kansas/Nebraska acts were the primary issues leading to the birth of the GOP.
Touchy feely drama seven generations afterward do not speak to the laws and precedents of the early to mid 19th century. I would rather not defend the Dred Scott decision but it certainly was correct under the laws as they stood at the time. Hence the need for the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution, to provide the legal foundation for the new order.
Does the mean the Democrats will not get around to issuing their long overdue apology for being the party of slavery before and during the Civil War, and the party of Jim Crow and racial segregation afterwards?
Actually it looks like the error (about "all men are created equal" being a phrase from the Constitution) was introduced by the reporter who wrote the article. The very next paragraph quotes Taney referring (correctly) to "this declaration."
Now that you have brought up the Civil War, it is only a matter of time before the moonbat rednecks show up to point out that Lincoln was worse than Hitler.
The Scott decision was wrong even at the time, as it claimed blacks had never been and never could be citizens of the United States.
In fact, blacks had at various times been full citizens of various states, including at the time when the Constitution was implemented and at the time of the Scott decision.
Thus the decision was based on factual errors. There was also nothing in the Constitution at the time giving the Court, or Congress for that matter, the right to decide who was and was not a citizen of the United States, with exception of immigration laws. That power, with regard to persons born in the US, had previously been left to the States, with a citizen of a State automatically considered a citizen of the United States.
Taney arrogated to the Court not only the right to decide who was a citizen as of 1857, but who could EVER be a citizen. This rather breathtaking assumption of power to the federal government is amazing in those who theoretically supported states' rights.
It is interesting that all the southern demands leading up to the war required expansion of federal power: federal protection for those taking slaves into the territories, federal enforcement in the states of the fugitive slave laws, federal determination of who was or was not a citizen of the United States.
Some things never change.
The fly in that ointment is that the left is likely to be, or certainly could be. in charge of the military at that moment. My 60's vintage Model 70 Winchester isn't the best weapon to put up against a squad of soldiers using modern military arms.
The Declaration of Independence is one of the founding documents of our nation, and is frequently quoted in Supreme Court and other federal court decisions.
It certainly illustrates the intent of our Founding Fathers, and is used in that regard.
The words aren't in the Constitution, you are correct, but the sentiment certainly is. I could probably cite you a hundred passages enforcing the idea that all men are created legally equal in the Constitution, even before the passage of the 14th Amendment (which obviously was not an issue in D. Scott).
Most legal critics, as opposed to social critics, of Scott v Sanford point to Taney's decision to go well beyond what was needed. He could simply have asked his brethren to declare that as a slave Scott had no standing to come before the Court. Or he could have turned to the prior decision in 1850 that such cases of itinerant slaves would be decided by the courts of the state of origin. In this case Missouri. But Taney was searching for a final act that would end the legislative standoff over slavery and, in his view, allow the government to get on with other business.
While an act of judicial activism Taney's decision was an upholder of states' rights. Only Congress could deny a slaveowner of his property and only on tterritory governed by Congress. Massachussetts was as free to declare slavery anathema on its soil as Alabama was to embrace it.
If it came to a Civil War, most of the members of our military would be on the side of the Right, regardless of who was in power. Robert E. Lee was as honorable a man as West Point and this country ever produced, but that didn't keep him from refusing a Union comission.
Why? It was legal. In 1857 and for years and years before, and years afterwards.
"For me it immediately raises the question as a judge: How do you talk to other judges and persuade them about matters where you really think they're going to do something quite wrong?" Breyer said. "Do you talk only on a technical level?"
Taney did not rely on the "technical level" at all, but made a decision that would be popular with at least one very large interest group. His decision was not influenced by the word or intent of the Constitution, but instead by what would satisfy his personal views --- exactly the same modus that Breyer and the other liberals on the Court have used in recent years.
I see Taney as an activist and Breyer has followed in his footsteps. No doubt, both with "Good Intentions" based on their view of what the law 'should be' to satisify their political and social views.
That 150 years later we all say that Taney's views were wrong entirely misses the point. A large number of people at the time agreed with Taney (just as a large number agree with Breyer today) and didn't really care that he overstepped his authority and ignored the intent of the Constitution.
The point is that in 1857 or today, what the law "should be" is not the province of a judge to decide. Making law from the bench is not what judges should do. Making law is up to the people through their representatives in Congress.
I meant morally wrong. You're arguing from a legalistic viewpoint.
You can't be serious. Abortion is legal today. It is also wrong. Involuntary servitude, in all parts of the world and at all times, is wrong.
The Declaration of Independence was written and signed by the Second Continental Congress, a war appropriations body. The US Constitution was written and signed by the Confederation Congress, a legislative body. Furthermore, the US Constitution was ratified by the legislatures of all thirteen original states. The Declaration of Independence was not. The Declaration is the only positive thing that I have to say about Thomas Jefferson, but in terms of legal precedent and philosophy, it is entirely irrelevant.
The people who brought the lawsuit could have collected money to free Dred and Harriet, and set them free years before 1857. They were trying to make a point, which backfired.
Fortunately, despite losing the lawsuit, Dred and Harriet did get their freedom not long afterwards.
The only real force the Leftists have is LEOs in SWAT teams. Since they rely on the enemy being one stoner with a .25 Raven, trapped in a trailer, a squad of high-power shooters, Ex-Marines, Viet Nam vets, with Remington 40X and Pre-64 Model 70s, M1As, AR-15s, in open country would... well... I know which way I would bet.
Large metro areas are easy to blockade and starve out easily. How long would Manhattan, or Chicago last, if you cut off the food and power supplies? They would be dining on rats and miniature poodles in a month.
And there we have it: something can be "morally wrong" and still be legal. Remember: We do not have courts of justice. We have courts of law.
And in 1857, under the law, slavery was legal. Period. And that, in a round about way, is what the court in Dred Scott grappled with -- was it legal or no; not was it right or wrong.
Yes. Those who believe in the sanctities of private property. The same sort of folk who get their feathers ruffled over the current eminent domain imbroglio.
I hope that you are either making a bad joke or you are completly ignorant of what it was that Taney ruled.
Which is it?
What part of "The slavery situation in 1857 was wrong." is hard for you to understand?
Why stop at the Civil War? After the Civil War, your ancestors wouldn't have been slaves, but they wouldn't have been anything like full citizens of a Republic either. They couldn't vote, couldn't get elected to office, if charged with a crime they couldn't get a fair trial, they couldn't use public facilities and they couldn't hold meaningful gainful employment. If the US, because of slavery, wasn't a Republic before the war, what made it a Republic after the war?
Enoch Powell strongly believed that America was more of an enemy to the UK than Nazi Germany or Tojo's Japan. Do you agree with that assessment?
True, and worth noting.
The odds that you might have been one of the many slave owners who were also black is probably not all that high.
Strangely, I don't see in this article much discussion on whether, on the basis of the law at the time, the case was decided _wrongly_. Seems to only be concerned that the "wrong" decision was arrived at (from our point of view 150 years later).
Raymann, be advised that ClearCase's "Enoch Powell is right" tagline is a British white supremacist slogan, referring to Powell's opposition to the Race Relations Act, which criminalized discrimination in the UK in housing and some sectors of employment on the basis of race. Apparently, ClearCase is saying that such discrimination should be allowed.
Actually, my tagline refers to this:
In the United Kingdom, particularly in England, "Enoch was right" is a phrase of political rhetoric, employed generally by the far right, inviting comparison of aspects of contemporary English society with predictions made by Powell in the Rivers of Blood speech. The phrase implies criticism of immigration and multiculturalism.
The Rivers of Blood speech was delivered in 1968. I like the speech and I agree with most of its content. I feel no compulsion to adopt whatever views he may have had on WWII-era dictators.
and Kelo and CFR...
They should read Lincoln's Cooper Union remakes on the Supreme Court and Dred Scott....Dred Scott was a classic case judicial activism and Lincoln nail it to the wall with pure logic
Dred Scott was a classic case of judicial activism so loved by the left IE the court found things in the Constitution never put their by the writer of the Constitution
Lincoln nailed it and the court to the wall with clear logic
The Rivers of Blood speech was made in opposition to the Race Relations Act, an anti-discrimination law. Are you saying you support racial discrimination in housing and employment? Because outlawing that is what the Race Relations Act did.
In the US, the civil rights movement (in many respects a good thing) staged sit-ins at lunch counters. Black people would sit in an establishment that did not want them as customers.
Now, whose rights do we care about? The black people weren't starving. They had choices in where they got they're food. But the lunch counter owner had saved up his money, purchased a restaurant, and tried to set rules for the business that he owned. He didn't have a lot of choices. The lunch-counter was his only business. He had that, or he had nothing. But he was told he had no rights. His property wasn't really his property. Nope. He had to serve anyone that walked in through the door and he couldn't turn people away. He didn't have that right. His property wasn't so much his property, it was a "public accomodation".
I disagree with that. Property Rights were traded so that black people could sit at lunch counters. Did the black people gain so much? Or did we all lose a lot by losing control over our personal property?
Now, a smart businessman will serve anyone who comes in through the door. But the issue isn't "Is discimination a smart business practice?" It isn't. It's a dumb business practice. The question is how much control should the government have over your home or your business?
I vote for less government control.
My take on the Supreme Court is that is was designed as a check on the other branches. With lifetime appointments, it was supposed to check the political considerations inherent in the other two branches. Dred Scott proved that the Supreme Court could just as easily put politics above the Constitution as the other two branches. In fact the Dred Scott case not exposes tthe political nature of the court it serves as a humiliating reminder to the Court that it is not superior to other branches but equal. And there will be times when each branch is dominated by political ninnies of the worst sort, the only difference is the boys and girls with the robes cannot be voted out of office, they leave office either in a box or in an advanced state of senility. The Supreme Court is simply another very political branch of government, but much more dangerous because it was designed in ways that were supposed to insulate it somewhat from political considerations which the Dred Scott Case and RoevWade show was a folly although it may have been a folly with the most noble of intent.
Could you please give us some specific examples of the "anti Semitr right" that you speak of?
Welcome to Scalia's world dickhead, when he has to talk to you!
Much of the problem, of course, was that Southern states didn't just allow segregation, they required it. Plessy was about a Louisiana law that forbade private railroads from establishing integrated cars.
Many of the restaurant owners to whom you refer may have wanted for business or moral reasons to integrate, but Jim Crow prohibited it.

The .45 bug is definitely going around. Let us know how it shoots. How much?
"Some men, you just can't reach"
Very nice. I traded for a 1911 a couple of months ago that had new crimson trace grips on it. The only time I have ever shot it using the laser was to sight it in. I keep the laser on all the time and shut off when shooting. I actually like the CT grips or I would have swapped them out.
I like the CT, but for about the same money you can get a LCP.

Role of Observation
Iris melanomas have relatively good outcomes with a 5-year survival rate of more than 95%. They are predominantly of the spindle-cell type and are usually smaller in size than posterior melanomas because of earlier detection. Conservative management is generally advocated whenever possible, but surgical intervention may be justified with unequivocal tumor growth or with extensive disease at initial examination.
The management of small choroidal melanomas is controversial, and it is not clear whether treatment of small tumors prevents metastasis.[1] The natural history of small choroidal melanoma is poorly understood. Small, pigmented, choroidal lesions cannot always be differentiated reliably on examination. Growth is a presumed indicator of malignant potential.[2] The likelihood of progression from the time of diagnosis to the time when tumor growth warrants treatment has not been well characterized. Some ophthalmologists advocate observation. This has been justified on several grounds, including the difficulty with establishing a correct diagnosis, the lack of any documented efficacy for globe-conserving treatments, and concerns for severe treatment-related morbidity. Others have advocated earlier therapeutic intervention.[1,3,4]
Although patients diagnosed with small choroidal tumors were not eligible for participation in the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS), these patients were offered participation in a prospective follow-up study to evaluate the natural history of small lesions. Two-year and 5-year tumor growth estimates of 21% and 31%, respectively, were reported.[5] Clinical risk factors associated with tumor growth included:[3,5]
- Increased tumor thickness.
- Presence of subretinal fluid.
- Orange pigmentation.
- Absence of drusen.
- Absence of retinal pigment.
- Margin at the optic disc.
- Epithelial changes surrounding the tumor.
Role of Surgery
The selection of treatment depends on the following:
- Site of origin (choroid, ciliary body, or iris).
- Size and location of the lesion.
- Age of the patient.
- Occurrence of extraocular invasion, recurrence, or metastasis.
In the past, enucleation (eye removal) was the standard treatment for primary choroidal melanoma, and it is still used for large tumors. However, enucleation has been largely replaced by radiation therapy (i.e., brachytherapy with radioactive plaques; or external-beam, charged-particle radiation therapy) to spare the affected eye.[6,7]

A round of severe storms moved through parts of northeast Kansas Thursday evening.
Heavy rain and hail sparked severe thunderstorm warnings in Douglas County.
It was coming down so hard near Lawrence at about 6:30 p.m., that many vehicles simply pulled over until the rain passed.
The weather did include a pretty sight, though. A rainbow could be seen through all the rain. You can see it by watching the attached video.

All new students are required to submit their immunization records to the Fort Lewis College Student Health Center prior to the first day of classes. Colorado State law requires you to submit an immunization record with evidence of two MMR vaccinations (measles, mumps, rubella).
Students interested in getting the MMR vaccine through the Student Health Center should contact us at (970) 247-7355 to make an appointment. The cost for the MMR vaccination is $83.
A current copy of your immunization record must be submitted by: September 13, 2016 for the fall semester, January 24, 2017 for the spring semester.
If you do not comply with this requirement, a $25 fee and a hold on making any registration changes will be placed on your student account.
Use the following information to assist you in obtaining and submitting records:
Please note: You have the legal right to sign an exemption from this vaccination for personal, medical, or religious reasons. If you do so, you will be subject to quarantine and excluded from campus for up to 3 months in the case of an outbreak of measles, mumps, or rubella. To submit an exemption please fill out the top portion and sign the bottom portion of the Certificate of Immunization Form found under the "Forms" tab.
Colorado State Law also requires that post secondary institutions provide information to all incoming freshmen living on campus about meningococcal disease (meningitis).

Students interested in getting the meningitis vaccine through the Student Health Center should contact the us at (970) 247-7355 to make an appointment. The cost for the meningitis vaccination is $113.

Tuberculosis Screening
The Fort Lewis College Health Center invites all students to review the Tuberculosis Screening Questionnaire and present it to the Health Center. This is a voluntary form. Our medical staff will review the responses, contact students at risk, and, in a confidential office visit, explain recommendations for evaluating that risk. TB skin testing or serum lab is available at the Health Center. Treatment, if needed, can also be obtained through the Health Center.
Fort Lewis College is participating in a voluntary Tuberculosis Risk Screening Program, along with many other colleges and universities across the country, as we attempt to prevent outbreaks of tuberculosis, a significant public health concern. With many of our students traveling internationally, Fort Lewis will play a key role in early detection (through screening), prompt diagnosis and treatment for any student considered at-risk. This program is designed to protect not only the individual, but also the public, from an outbreak. Participation by our students is voluntary at this time.

It is located in Gracia, originally a town separated from Barcelona. Today, it unites old charm with modern city comfort. It is one of Barcelona's most alternative and avant-garde neighborhoods, with a rich cultural life. In its narrow streets and lively squares, you can enjoy the most exotic dishes. Gracia attracts artists, designers and young bohemians that prefer the cafés of this quaint area to the touristy city center.
Every year, during the festivities of the Fiesta Mayor de Gracia, you will be able to join the thousands of people that invade the streets, stroll, listen to live music and dance. This flat is located near the Plaza de la Vila de Gràcia (also known as Plaza Rius i Taulet), with Gracia's city council and its clock tower. During the festivities, the square fills with live music, castellers (human towers) and dancers.

El apartamento es tal cual en la foto. Esta bien situado y lo mas importante para el verano, tiene aire acondicionado. Las camas son comodas y tiene practicamente de todo para poder cocinar. Como puntos negativos, el aire tiene un cubo de agua que se llena rapidamente y esa gotera molesta a la vecina de abajo. Nos pusimos de acuerdo con la propietaria a la hora de llegada y la verdad que bien, ninguna molestia durante nuestra estancia, y a pesar que no me gustaba el metodo de fianza, entiendo que es comodo para no tener que ir a ningun lugar de vuelta.
Die Wohnung war sehr schön und die Lage super! Man sollte erwähnen dass es keine Heizung gibt und es manchmal sehr lärmig werden kann von der Bar gegenüber (bis 3 Uhr morgens)
The flat is like in the pictures, so it's clean. The location is perfect! It is near to the beach and the metro isn't so far away (5 minutes walk). The Wifi was realy good and fast :) A little supermarket is next to the apartment. We will see us again !
Kind regards from Switzerland
Okey standard. Allthough there was just 2 actual beds, the doublebeds are just thin madresses on wooden planks. The bathroom were really tight, but for a shorter stay its ok. No hot water the firts 2 days.
The girl that received us, Joanna, was very nice and punctual. We had no problem at all receiving the keys, everything was fine and the apartment is near the Tram and the Metro Station, very nice building and neighborhood, as a comment that we saw here, you can eat very good and not so expensive right across the street in the restaurant "Grillo". What we didn't like is that, in the first advertisement was not announced the deposit fee and how much was it, and a cleaning fee of 60 euros either. When we wanted to use the cups, they were not washed well even lipstick was on the edge of one of them and the 4 small ones that we needed were with stains of coffee in the base like they just stored them dirty. But the apartment was very clean and very comfortable and I would recommend it.
Reale nice apartment, well made and we had a pleasant stay. Close to the city centre but quit too. We can recommend this apartment.
La zona dell'alloggio è tranquilla e ben collegata con i mezzi pubblici, peccato che le coincidenze dei mezzi devi scoprirli tu perché non sono fornite. L'abitazione è accogliente come descritto e come si vede dalle foto. I servizi complementari (necessario per igiene, lavaggio, pulizia) nonché lenzuola e asciugamani non sono stati soddisfacenti. Nel complesso ci tornerei.
Muy buena estancia, aunque nos fallo el gps y tardamos un poco en llegar y nos cobraron el recargo... En resumen el piso muy limpio, con algunos fallos pero bastante bien. El restaurante de abajo riquisimo y bastante bien de precio.
Wohnung spitze, Schlüsselübergabe problemlos, super freundlich! Immer wieder!
Excellent flat, key exchange without problems, super friendly! Fully recommended!
Tout très bien! La personne qui nous a accueillis était sympathique. L'appartement, conforme à l'annonce et aux photos, est très agréable, confortable, très propre et bien situé dans un quartier calme, à deux minutes à pied du métro. On va aisément et rapidement au centre de Barcelone (ramblas, Catalunya, Gracia, etc....). Supermarchés, boulangeries, restaurants et autres petits magasins à proximité. Le tout à deux pas de la place d'Espagne...
A recommander fortement !

Well, after 2-3 weeks of struggling with WP both on my host and locally I received an absolutely brilliant response/advisory from the only one on the forum that fully comprehends my end-product goal.
And WP just isn't the platform, period.
I am, though, concerned about deleting it and MAMP. There are files in SO many folders I don't know where to start (after getting the host running NONE of the local pages run - so if there is an uninstall file I would not chance it).
Is there a written procedure that includes verification checks for uninstalling both packages?
Part of the concern is that WP inserted some hooks without telling me - example: if I "open" a php file Adobe GoLive from CS2 opens it. I DO NOT want to kill CS2 old but has everything I need).
Please advise - thanks.

I would like to change the frequency of the RPI, how can I do that, I'm using low level programming. Also how can I get the used memory and free memory?
If you are using a raspbian based distribution you can use "raspi-config" to change the memory-split, overclock your raspi and many more.
To get the memory usage, try the following command, this will give you usage in MB.
Are you referring to the SOC frequency? It currently cannot be set dynamically (while the RPi is on). But there should be a firmware update sometime soon, that enables this. Keep an eye out for it. If your speaking not dynamically, then the overclock values can be changed in the /boot/config.txt file. Refer to this link

This is very good. I loved the addition of the oats as it makes it crunchy. Perfect with the cinnamon ice cream I had.
A bit too sweet for me, but it is an excellent dessert, if a sweet tooth is what you have. Adding vanilla ice cream was a nice touch. Thank you Leilani and sister for sharing this with us.
This recipe was so easy to make ad just delicious.

By Spc. Jarrett Branch, 5th Mobile Public Affairs DetachmentJuly 27, 2011
"The first book I read on my very own was called 'Caddy Woodlawn'," reflected Georgia Cartner, Book Patch Children's Library's services director. "It was all about this little girl, during pioneer times, who was very adventurous and always got into trouble. 'Caddy Woodlawn' really started me off with my love of books."
Like Cartner, many people have fond memories of the first book they read. Sometimes the book was passed down from an older sibling, other times it was brand new, complete with that new-book smell. The Book Patch Children's Library Summer Reading program offers the children of the Joint Based Lewis-McChord community the chance to enjoy new experiences, as well develop a love of reading.
This year's theme is 'A Mid-Summer Night's Read'. The program, which is funded by the Department of Defense, is creating a whole new generation of book lovers. It has become known for keeping kids learning during the summer months, while having a terrific time doing so.
"It's to encourage children to read over the summer in a fun, creative way," stated Cartner. "The kids get prizes and incentives for reading a certain number of hours. They keep track of their progress by using reading logs.
"There are three levels, which add up to roughly 30 hours of reading over a seven to eight week period," added Cartner. "I believe kids who read during the summer are better prepared for school in the fall. So having them attend a program like this can help them start the school year off strong."
Over 1,000 children are registered in the reading incentive program. In addition to it, the Patch Library, located inside of the Grandstaff Memorial Library, holds a story time event every Wednesday and arts and crafts on Thursday.
"Wednesday our story time revolves around the summer reading theme. We have read stories about fairies, princes, princesses, and knight's in shining armor," stated Cartner. "We always have a craft to go along with the story. On average we have about 45 children show up to the event. Thursdays we have a craft or activity, such as a dragon egg hunt or making shields out of cardboard and construction paper, which the kids have a great time doing."
While the children are busy with crafts or are being read a story, the parents are spending their time bonding with their children and meeting fellow parents. With families being apart, due to deployments and training, participating in these activities has been a great way for families to feel closer and learn at the same time.
Michelle Michalis and her daughters are new to the program and found it to be just what they were looking for. Michalis said that her daughters really enjoy reading as well as arts and crafts, so the summer reading program activities were a perfect fit for her family and plans to recommend it to the Soldiers in her husband's battalion.
"This program is not only a fun activity for your children to do, but also a great place to meet people; meet other spouses and get acquainted," added Michalis. "I was able to make new friends yesterday and we exchanged contact information. My girls are so happy that they can come here, meet other children and make various crafts."
"We found out about the program from a neighbor," said Michalis. "My girls were very engaged in the story time and the arts and crafts project. I believe we are going to come back here quite often."
Whether it's to make new friends or to have your children hear one of their favorite stories, the summer reading program at Book Patch Library has something for everyone. Cartner added that even though having fun during the summer is important; the skills learned from this program will create a life-long love of reading.
"It is amazing and so much fun when you see a kid's face light up while reading a book," beamed Cartner. "Sometimes they are very reluctant readers, but when you show them a book and it's like a light goes on in there head. They're like whoa, and they come back wanting to read and learn more."

The General Services Administration's OASIS contracting vehicle already has changed the Air Force's procurement operations for the better, one of the Air Force's top acquisition officers says.
The Air Force's participation in GSA's $60 billion One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services multiple award contracts "has simplified the decision process," said Maj. Gen. Wendy Masiello, the USAF director of contracting.
The Air Force has embraced OASIS in the last several months. In August, the Air Force Space and Missile Command said it wanted to use the dedicated OASIS Small Business contract instead of its own SMC Technical Support program. GSA estimated the value of the commitment, which will encompass virtually all systems engineering and technical assistance activities at Los Angeles Air Force Base, at $472 million over five years.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida have also announced they will use OASIS SB. Those commitments and the latest announcement combine to represent an estimated value of $1.3 billion per year for the OASIS small business community.
"There's been a sea change in how GSA partners" with other federal agencies, Masiello said in remarks at the Coalition for Government Procurement's fall conference in Fairfax, Va., on Oct. 30.
Meanwhile, OASIS is moving ahead at GSA. The agency's original deadline for vendor proposals was extended two weeks to Oct. 30 because of the government shutdown. A GSA spokesperson on Oct. 31 said the agency was in the process of determining how many responses had been filed.
Participation in the OASIS contracts, said Masiello, would give the Air Force reduced surcharges, better management of contractors, as well as increased insight into what kinds of IT goods and services are ordered. GSA, she said, also has mechanical and electronic methods to order that might not otherwise be available to Air Force contracting staff.
She added, however, that participation in strategic source contracting vehicles isn't a panacea for all of the Air Force's procurement activities. "Some staff in the field may not be able to use GSA" to fill some of their individual needs, she said, "but I still need that contracting function."

NC deputies says child routinely chained in home
11-year-old found handcuffed to porch with dead chicken around his neck
Published: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 10:08 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 18, 2013 at 10:08 a.m.
MONROE (AP) — The Union County sheriff's office says it appears the 11-year-old boy found handcuffed to a porch with a dead chicken around his neck was routinely handcuffed in the home.
Sheriff's Capt. Cody Luke also told The Charlotte Observer on Sunday (http://bit.ly/1gXS78) that human waste was found on the home's floor.
Wanda Sue Larson and Dorian Lee Harper were arrested Friday after a deputy found the boy. Larson is a supervisor with Union County Department of Social Services. The couple adopted four children and was the foster parents to the 11-year-old child.
The 57-year-old couple is charged with intentional child abuse inflicting injury, false imprisonment and cruelty to animals. They are to be in court Monday. It was not clear if they have lawyers yet.
The children, ranging in age from 8 to 14, have been removed from the home and have been placed with a social services agency outside Union County since Larson worked with the local department of social services..
Sheriff Eddie Cathey said he's trying to determine how long the abuse had been occurring at the home.

A pedestrian walks on the Downtown Mall on Saturday in Charlottesville, Va. A blizzard battered the U.S. capital and Mid-Atlantic states, with emergency crews struggling to keep pace with the heavy, wet snow that piled up on roadways, toppled trees and left thousands without electricity.
ATLANTA (AP) - Several areas across the Deep South might soon be
glazed with another coating of snow.
The National Weather Service says 2 to 4 inches could fall late
Sunday and early Monday across southern Tennessee and northeastern
Alabama, while 1 inch to 2 inches could fall in parts of northern
and central Georgia.
Mountainous portions of Georgia and the Carolinas could get up
to 3 inches.
Several cities that are ill-equipped to deal with icy roads and
piled snow, including Atlanta, were paralyzed by a snowstorm that
dropped several inches of snow on the region Friday and Saturday.
Thousands of flights were canceled at the nation's busiest
airport in Atlanta, and icy streets caused hundreds of
fender-benders in the region.

I hope I was

For the sum 5 and 3 buckets, what the algorithm should return is:

MF Global Trustee Giddens Seeks Payment for Work, Expenses
The liquidator of broker-dealer MF Global Inc. asked a judge to set a process for paying him and his firm for work and expenses from Oct. 31.
Trustee James W. Giddens didn't say in a request filed in court how much he sought for himself and his law firm, Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP. As liquidator of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s brokerage, Giddens charges $891 an hour, and his team's "blended" hourly rate is about $488, according to an Aug. 5 filing.
Giddens told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn he would work on MF Global at a 10 percent discount from his standard rates, as in other bankruptcy cases, and not charge for overtime meals, internal copies and after-hours travel services.
Two Republican lawmakers, Ed Royce and Scott Garrett, cited Giddens's three-year tenure at Lehman in a Nov. 4 letter to regulators, saying he has proven slow at that job. Kent Jarrell, a Giddens spokesman, declined to comment.
MF Global's parent listed $39.7 billion in debt and $41 billion in assets in its bankruptcy filing. About $593 million of commodity customer funds are unaccounted for, according to a person with knowledge of regulatory probes into the failure of the firm previously run by Jon Corzine.
The brokerage case is In re MF Global Inc., 11-ap-2790, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

ST. LOUIS -- With the field crowded with pop stars, television celebrities -- and of course All-Stars -- during batting practice, Padres reliever Heath Bell grabbed his camera and began to take snapshots he could treasure for the rest of his life.
In one photo Bell stood by the home dugout, made a rock-star-horns gesture with his right hand and stuck out his tongue. He had asked the crowd behind him to do the same thing.
Bell does not lack confidence, but he knows baseball can be a fickle game, and who knows if he would ever be an All-Star ever again? So he did his best to remember every moment.
"I'm just a big fan of baseball," he said. "I'm a big kid at heart."
The week had almost been surreal. First, there had been the sweet surprise Sunday, when Bell found out that Brewers closer Trevor Hoffman -- Bell's mentor when the two played together in San Diego -- would replace injured Dodgers closer Jonathan Broxton on the National League roster.
Then on Monday, Bell sat on the field and watched teammate Adrian Gonzalez in the Home Run Derby. Tuesday brought the red-carpet entrance into Busch Stadium. And a few moments after batting practice ended, Bell would go back in the clubhouse and meet President Barack Obama.
To make sure Obama noticed him, Bell wore a T-shirt that read "I'm kind of a big deal."
Then, of course, the game began and Bell would live an All-Star experience he surely will never forget. Photos won't be necessary.
With the game tied at 3-3 in the eighth inning, Bell was summoned from the bullpen by National League manager Charlie Manuel.
Despite all his excitement during the week, Bell carried a nagging fear of the unknown. During the regular season, Bell pores over Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley's scouting reports. Bell knows his pitches can be overpowering, but without knowing where to throw them, he's fairly defenseless. With the scouting reports, he knows when to throw a particular pitch and where to throw it.
At the All-Star Game, Bell didn't know a thing about the hitters he potentially could be facing, two in particular: Tigers outfielder Curtis Granderson and Baltimore outfielder Adam Jones.
He had never faced either, though Jones is a San Diego native. But as Bell quipped: "I live in Florida. Maybe I should move to San Diego."
With one out in the eighth, Bell threw Granderson a 1-0 sinker that was slammed to left-center field, over the head of Justin Upton. Granderson easily slid into third for a triple. Later, Bell would lament that he did not throw a down-and-away fastball in that situation.
After intentionally walking Victor Martinez, Bell faced Jones. On an 0-2 count, Bell threw Jones an 89 mph inside breaking ball that Jones hit for a sacrifice fly to right field. Later, Bell would lament he did not throw an up-and-away fastball.
It was only after the game that Bell could come up with an effective scouting report. He joked that he would never underestimate the value of Balsley again.
Bell ended up the losing pitcher in the National League's 4-3 loss to the AL. Padres pitchers (Hoffman 2006, Chris Young 2007) have carried home the loss in three of the past four All-Star games.
"Hey, I look at it as the Padres have gotten a decision in three of the last four All-Star games," Bell said. "I'm going to tell my kids that I had a decision in my first All-Star Game."
But even Bell's good humor couldn't hide his disappointment. After the eighth, Bell slammed his glove against the wall and kicked a door. He stood at his locker answering questions from reporters after the game, sometimes making jokes, but deep inside he worried that on a national level people would wonder whether Heath Bell belonged on the same field as Mariano Rivera. That's the fickle nature of baseball players. Confidence can easily drop like a sinker.
"I'm ticked off," Bell said. "I'm a little bummed. I'm not going to lie."
Hoffman, who had been similarly burned in the 2006 All-Star Game by blowing a save with two outs in the ninth, had simply patted Bell on the back after the loss. Hoffman didn't say much. Really, what could he have said?
"It's going to be a long night for him," Hoffman said. "But he should he proud of the fact that he's earned his way here. It's an experience he'll learn from. I think the important thing is not to put too much pressure on yourself. Your body of work will not be dictated by a single moment."
Bell said Tuesday's loss would motivate him for the rest of the season. He will work even harder to make sure he has a great second half, he said. Mostly he hoped he would be good enough to come back to the All-Star Game next season, where there would be more experiences, more memorable moments and, of course, more photos.

I adopted a Russian Blue kitte...Updated: 1/23/2015
I adopted a Russian Blue kitten from JCHS about a week ago, and I just want to share my experience. The staff there are very friendly and accommodating. The adoption fees are reasonable and there is a lot of variety to choose from. JCHS is a no kill facility and is relatively easy to find and is just a straight shot out hwy 90 into Monticello, only a 35 minute drive from TLH. They have a website too, which I appreciate being able to look at before heading out there. I must say though that they have lots of kittens that are not on the website. If you're out that way, please stop by and visit them.

Rare blood disease fails to bring down Vandebilt's Allen
Published: Thursday, September 21, 2006 at 10:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 21, 2006 at 12:36 p.m.
HOUMA -- From always having a special nasal spray around to his coaches calling him coach, things sure are different for Vandebilt Catholics Jacob Allen these days.
Allens life changed in March when, in the middle of Vandebilts baseball season, the starting pitcher and infielder saw a doctor in regards to a nagging hip injury.
Allen was told he had a hematoma, a collection of blood under the skin, but that more tests would have to be run.
The news from those tests forced Allen, also a football player, to be more careful -- much more careful -- with his body.
Allen, a Houma native, was diagnosed with hemophilia, a rare disease in which blood fails to clot normally.
It affects approximately 20,000 Americans or less than 1 percent of the nations population, and in most cases is inherited.
The main concern for Allen, and others with hemophilia, is that if he is severely cut or hit, his blood will not clot normally, and he will continue to bleed. After Allen was first diagnosed, doctors wanted him to stop playing sports all together, but Allen fought that recommendation and was allowed to play baseball.
He was given a nasal inhaler which, in the event he is hit or cut, he can use and it will help his blood to clot.
Allen, as he does, remained optimistic and steady and finished his sophomore season as one of the top players on the Vandebilt baseball team and then worked out with the football team over the summer.
Then came August.
"I go to the doctor and say, ëHey doc, I need a physical (for football)," Allen said. "He said, ëI cant give you one. "
Allen had no chance of passing the physical because of the violent nature of football.
"If I play baseball and get hit by a pitch, I take the nose spray," Allen said. "I cant take the spray for football because you get hit all the time."
Allen, who lettered while splitting time at quarterback last season, admitted, with a slight hint of pain behind his eyes, he knew his chances at getting cleared medically for football were small.
"It was a letdown. I want to play," Allen said. "It wasnt much of a surprise. It wasnt like all of a sudden they said you cant play. I kind of had a little forewarning."
Allen now spends his Friday nights on the Vandebilt sidelines in his No. 6 jersey and jeans seeing, hearing and almost feeling the pads pop in front of him.
He writes his teams offensive plays and acts as a mediator between the coaches and players.
Allen is more than a clipboard holder though. Much more.
He still lifts weights with the team, throws balls to receivers in practice and does what ever the Vandebilt coaching staff asks of him, prompting some on the staff to refer to him as another coach.
"Im still a part of the team, but Im not a part of the physical activity," Allen said. "I just do whatever I can to help out. Just little stuff."
Through it all, Allen, who was expected to start this season at receiver or defensive back, has remained upbeat and positive and has taken the attitude that he will do the best with what he has to work with.
"I think Jacob has the best attitude in the world as far as the condition he has," Vandebilt football coach Brad Villavaso said. "Hes a great role model for other kids. Hes been out there on the practice field every single day hes not at the doctors office."
Allen, more than ready to compete on the baseball diamond, has become somewhat of an inspiration to others.
"To sit there and watch what he has gone through and the attitude he has toward it is tremendous. A lot of people would feel sorry for themselves, but hes not that kind of kid," Villavaso said. "Hes got great parents, and with them and him, I cant think of any other kid who would have handled it as well as he has."
