[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida- August 28, 2012- 3:55 p.m.
With Tropical Storm Isaac no longer a threat and all local watches and warnings discontinued, the City of Tallahassee has returned to normal operations. The City's Area Command facility was closed this morning, the City Utilities Call Center is back to normal operating hours and all other departments have returned to their standard operations.
Both City sandbag locations (at Winthrop Park and Messer Field South) were closed as of noon today. Citizens who collected sandbags are welcome to keep them in anticipation of any future heavy rain events, including tropical storms. As a reminder, the 2012 hurricane season lasts until November 30, with the most active period continuing into early October.
"While we send our best wishes to the people in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama as they deal with Isaac, the good news for Tallahassee is that the storm threat is over," said Robby Powers, the City's Emergency Management Coordinator. "Citizens in Tallahassee took this storm seriously, as evidenced by the sandbags that were filled, supplies purchased and family plans put in place. It was also a good test for our City departments, who demonstrated they were ready to serve the community if the storm had come our way."
With social media playing a pivotal role during emergency situations and at all times, the City provides a variety of communications tools to ensure citizens remain informed. These include:
Twitter posts @COTNews – includes power outage updates, major road closures, flooding reports. Traffic/transportation updates and other road closures are available @COTTraffic
Facebook updates at Facebook.com/COTNews – with all City news releases and storm-related information
Talgov.com – official City website with information about preparation, response and recovery efforts
WCOT (Comcast Cable channel 13) – storm-related information
The City is also prepared to lend any disaster relief assistance to neighboring communities to the west should it be requested following Isaac's landfall.
[UPDATE] Tallahassee, Florida- August 27, 2012- 3:45 p.m.
In anticipation of the continued potential for adverse impacts from Tropical Storm Isaac, the City of Tallahassee has placed extra crews on standby for any response efforts needed. Though the storm appears to be heading toward an eventual landfall in Louisiana, Isaac's very large size is causing impacts that are being felt hundreds of miles away from the center. The City continues to be prepared to respond to any adverse conditions from the storm as long as Isaac remains a threat. The City's Area Command will begin 24-hour staffing this evening at 8 p.m. to oversee response efforts.
Citizen inquiries – The City's call center is now operating 24 hours daily and will do so as long as Isaac remains a threat to the community. Citizens with any storm-related issues may call 850-891-4YOU (4968); these include power outages, downed trees, impassable roads or flooding concerns.
Electric Utility – With a likelihood of heavy rain overnight into tomorrow, the City's Electric Utility has placed extra crews on call beginning tonight, with up to 30 employees available for power outage response efforts in addition to normal staffing. While several scattered outages occurred yesterday and today, due primarily to tree limbs falling on or against power lines, most have been restored quickly. Currently, no outages are being reported.
Public Works – In addition, the City's Public Works Department has placed extra crews on call beginning tonight, primarily for tree clearing and flooding concerns. Crews specializing in limb removal and/or leaning trees are also now on standby. Public Works is also lowering the level of Lake Ella by approximately two feet to help alleviate potential flooding concerns in the area.
Bags and sand remain available in the parking lot of the Messer Field South Softball Complex on the south side of Jackson Bluff Road between Appleyard Drive and Dupree Street and at Winthrop Park in the parking area alongside Mitchell Avenue near Betton Road. Citizens need to bring their own shovels, but sand and bags are provided with a suggested limit of 20 bags per household. City crews are monitoring the sites and are ready to provide additional sand and bags as needed. Over 3,000 sandbags have been collected by citizens thus far from the two City locations.
Tallahassee Regional Airport – Although operations at the airport have remained normal, several flight delays/cancellations have occurred, primarily involving flights to South Florida cities already being impacted by Isaac. Passengers are reminded to contact their airline directly regarding the status of flights. Extra Tallahassee Regional Airport operations/maintenance staff is now on standby to assist as needed while Isaac remains a threat to the area.
Public Safety – Both the Tallahassee Police Department and Tallahassee Fire Department are ready to assign extra officers/firefighting personnel as needed. All equipment has been tested and is fully ready for deployment as needed.
The City provides a variety of communications tools to ensure citizens remain informed during emergency situations. These include:
Twitter posts @COTNews – includes power outage updates, major road closures, flooding reports. Traffic/transportation updates and other road closures are available @COTTraffic
Facebook updates at Facebook.com/COTNews – with all City news releases and storm-related information
Talgov.com – official City website with information about preparation, response and recovery efforts
WCOT (Comcast Cable channel 13) – storm-related information
For now, all City services not referenced remain intact and on schedule, including Solid Waste Services, StarMetro, Underground Utilities, and Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Affairs.
Tallahassee, Florida- August 26, 2012
Tropical Storm Isaac's path is still unclear, but local grocery stores are extra busy today as people stock up on food and supplies.
Many shoppers we spoke to said they were stocking up on staple foods and toiletries.
An employee at one grocery store said he's seen a steady flow of customers coming through doors.
One shopper says she picked up enough food to last her a few days.
"Edible crackers, cookies, things that don't have to be put in the oven and canned meats," said Dot Roberts.
Emergency officials say when preparing for a storm, it's best to stock up on non-perishable food, batteries, prescription medications, and lots of water.
They recommend having at least a four day supply on hand.
Meanwhile, residents also picked up sandbags on Sunday in preparation for the possibility of Isaac.
City workers say as of 12:30 Saturday afternoon they had already passed out two truck loads worth of sand.
Many people who were filling sandbags said after damage from Tropical Storm Debby, they want to be better prepared this time around.
Beverly Speight, Tallahassee Resident said, "Just trying to make sure that everything is ready so that when the storm or hurricane does come. we're ready to roll."
Tallahassee Resident Homer O'Bright added, "I'm glad to see everybody's out here taking this thing serious. We have to take it serious, there's no doubt about that."
Each household was able to pick up 20 bags of sand for free.
City workers say the sandbags can make all the difference when it comes to flooding.

Mohamed Donia received his B.Sc in Pharmacy from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Suez Canal University, Egypt in 2004. He moved to the US in 2005 to study for his Ph.D. at the Medicinal Chemistry Department, School of Pharmacy, University of Utah. He worked in Dr. Eric Schmidt's laboratory where he studied the chemistry and biology of small molecules produced by bacterial symbionts of marine animals. He used chemical, microbiological, and metagenomic techniques to study the role of small molecules in mediating host-microbe and microbe-microbe interactions in marine invertebrates. In 2010, he joined Dr. Michael Fischbach's laboratory at the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco. There, he studied small molecules produced by members of the human microbiome and their role in mediating human-microbe interactions. In particular, he focused on antibiotics produced by human pathogens and commensals, and their role in shaping the composition and dynamics of the human microbiome.

'Skyfall" is racking up the most impressive ticket sales in the 50-year history of the James Bond movie franchise.
The fifth and final Twilight film, "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," opens Friday and is expected to leave Twihards worldwide another $700 million poorer and with no more excuses to camp out at L.A. Live.
Next month, we'll see the first of three - three! - feature films Peter Jackson made from J.R.R. Tolkien's one - one! - fantasy novel, "The Hobbit."
And the Walt Disney Co. just spent more than $4 billion to acquire Lucasfilm Ltd., primarily for the privilege of reviving George Lucas' previously presumed played-out "Star Wars" cycle for the big screen.
These disparate examples of what Hollywood calls tentpole franchises are, more and more, what keep the movie business in business. Hugely popular series, now largely based on material that first hit in another medium, have become increasingly vital to the bottom lines of both modest and major studios ever since Lucas unleashed his first space opera in 1977.
But while some series - the Daniel Craig-starring Bonds, most adaptations of young adult novels, seemingly any Marvel Comics superhero - appear extraordinarily robust at the moment, other sources - older sci fi books like the "John Carter" source, toy lines that aren't Transformers, DC Comics heroes who aren't Batman - don't always pay off at the box office.
There is another reason for anxiety under the big top. "Twilight" is just the latest superfranchise that has come to its natural end. Christopher Nolan finished his "Dark Knight" trilogy earlier this year and Harry Potter cast his last spell on theaters in 2011.
Unlike the good "Hobbit" bet, which is essentially the prequel to Jackson's massively successful "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (which was based on three Tolkien novels), there aren't many slam-dunk, hugely popular properties out there to replace the boy wizard, lovesick vampires and Batman.
"What's the next big one, I wonder?" Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey asked during a recent interview. "They're vitally important in the changing landscape of consumerism. It's harder and harder to get society to come out in droves to movie theaters. Those tentpoles become a beacon that studios hang their entire slates on."
And once they get a hugely popular series off the ground, studios can basically rely on it to prop them up for as long as they can pump out installments.
"Once you hit on something like a `Harry Potter' and you have six or seven movies that you can rely on, in a real way, to generate a billion dollars or close to it every time you go out with one, that balances out everything else at the studio," noted David Poland, a longtime industry observer and editor of moviecitynews. com. "So you can have an off year and you know `Harry Potter' is going to save your ass, and if you have a good year, `Harry Potter' is a huge bonus. And that's what everybody wants."
Hence the phenomenon of tentpoles based on finite book serials - "Potter," "Twilight," the current big new thing, "Hunger Games" - squeezing two films out of their authors' final books. And then there's the three "Hobbits."
That can be a tricky gambit, though. Extending a beloved book series better be done in a way that doesn't alienate the devoted fan base.
"First and foremost, we spoke at length with (`Twilight' creator) Stephenie Meyer before `Breaking Dawn' was broken into two movies," explained Rob Friedman, who was co-chairman and CEO of "Twilight" distributor Summit Entertainment, which earlier this year merged with "Hunger Games" studio Lionsgate. He's now co-chairman of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group.
"She was the first one, by the way, who said `When I wrote this book, I always felt like it was almost two books, that it had a sort of natural break point in it.' We had that same conversation with Suzanne Collins as it related to (third `Hunger Games' novel) `Mockingjay.'
"We only do it if we believe that they can both be fully satisfying to the fan base and for the moviegoers," Friedman said of doubling down. "Clearly, the benefit is that you get two distinct properties that have that built-in draw to them. That's great, but we would never unnaturally manufacture that because fans see through it."
Still, you can only make so many movies out of books that just tell one long story.
The 007 film franchise ran out of Ian Fleming novels to adapt in the 1980s.
Not to worry. Original scripts that followed Fleming's formula were commissioned, and the film series has thrived under its fifth and sixth Bond actors, Pierce Brosnan and Craig. "Skyfall" just enjoyed the biggest North American opening weekend of the 23 movies, selling around $90 million worth of tickets. Its worldwide gross has already passed $500 million.
"Well first, it's Fleming," explained producer Michael G. Wilson, who with his half-sister Barbara Broccoli inherited the film franchise from its co-founder, Albert "Cubby" Broccoli. "He wrote a character that's very enduring, and he put him through enough sequences of difficulties to really understand the character. Then we have had six actors interpret that character in various ways and change it substantially."
"We always start off when we're writing one of these by saying, who is Bond going to be up against?" Barbara Broccoli added. "And we usually try to figure out what is the world afraid of, and then try to create a villain who is a physical embodiment of that fear. So we try to keep them very contemporary. With `Skyfall,' it was cyberterrorism as an idea."
Even the most durable of tentpoles, though, can't always prop up a studio.
The Bond films were originally distributed by United Artists, which was absorbed in the early '80s by MGM, which itself has been through a series of owners and bankruptcies since then. The three Craig Bonds have been distributed by Sony-owned Columbia Pictures, whose other tentpole attempts this year proved hit (the "Spider-Man" reboot) and miss (the high-earning but not-profitable-enough "Men in Black 3").
Today, the enormous cost of making most tentpole films can make them less certain bets than studio executives would like to believe. Jobs have been lost over failed ones like "John Carter," and professional reputations are forever soiled when an idiotic idea like the "Battleship" movie fails to turn a profit.
"Studios are always looking for the next way to structure themselves," moviecitynews' Poland explained.
Spending $350 million to $450 million to make and market the next potential "Avengers," Poland reckoned, is how studio-think is trending now.
"They're chasing the idea of being able to know that your movie is going to sell before you make the movie," Poland concluded. "The risk is the cost of making and selling these movies, which could be enormous, versus the potential billion-dollar upside."
Most executives will tell you, though, that the way things are now, the risk is necessary.
"Listen, it's always great, whether you're Warners or Paramount or DreamWorks, to have the sort of backbone strength of those franchises," noted Lionsgate's Friedman, who worked for several major studios before forming the smaller Summit.
"It helps you with your customer base, it helps you with your fan base, it obviously helps you with your economic planning on a multiyear basis. For a company our size as opposed to some of those bigger media-owned companies, it just adds a strength from an economics perspective.
"We like them," Friedman said about tentpole franchises. "We want more of them."

While constitution limits inacting immigration laws to federal authority, states can and should ENFORCE existing laws. Asking person's status, detaining illegals and informing proper federal officials for them to take custody does NOT violate constitution; such actions support national legal system. Survey question and answers poorly address issue; and is easily open to misinterpretation of results.
The Constitution and the BIll of Rights were both written in English.
Bring our men and women home and secure our own borders. If we have our military here on U.S. soil, we would be better able to keep out illegal aliens and terrorists.
Illegal Immigration by a few hundred people is a problem. By over 12 million people it is nothing short of invasion and colinization. Mexico relies on the vast amounts of money sent back from America (the plunder of our nations wealth). The American left however, supports this type of behavior and loves to freely use the word biggot to anyone who believes the United States is a sovereign and independent nation and wants the borders secured. These are the same people who call the U.S. an imperialist nation and criticize America as a nation who removes other nation's resources. The vast amount of immigration to the U.S. from Mexico supported by the Mexican government in order for their citizens to ship back our wealth to Mexico's coffers is imperialism. This behavior is supported by anti-American leftist organizations such as most of the media, the ACLU, many of our teachers, lawyers, and college professors who have hijacked our institutions and our nation.
The founders of the American Legion carefully considered the consequences of embroiling the organization in the political process. Based on the model of the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), which played partisan politics and backed political candidates, the founders ensured the National Constitution of The American Legion prohibited such practices:
Section 2. THE AMERICAN LEGION shall be absolutely nonpolitical and shall not be used for the dissemination of partisan principles nor for the promotion of the candidacy of any person seeking public office or preferment.
Sorry, but this is an open discussion. No one is forcing you to endure all this horrible talk. You and and the other crybaby Art must be in American Legion posts in the San Francisco area that were openly and actively encouraging members of our Armed Forces to desert their posts and refuse to fight the war on terrorism this last year.
Immigration affects us all as does health care because veterans are also being affected by both disasters. Healthcare facilities are closing left and right, which affects veterans healthcare choices. Not everyone lives near a VA hospital, so smaller facilities are contracted to help, but if they have to close because of the tremendous cost of dolling out free healthcare to illegals, what do the veterans do?
If you weren't so deluded by your blue tinted views, you might see how veterans really see things.
It strikes me that our Government can send our TROOPS overseas to protect the Sovereignty and borders of another country. Yet it is inept in protecting our own.
We were asked to be vigilant after Sept 11th. WELL BIG OVER SIZED GOVERNMENT WE ARE BEING VIGILANT. NOW DO YOUR JOB.
Like so many American citizens, I feel so frustrated with the current policy on immigration. We all agree that the borders and ports need to be secure. Most agree that employers who knowingly hire illegals should be severely prosecuted, fined and imprisoned. And many feel that most illegals are generally decent, hard-working folks who came for the jobs. Around these three points there should be some consensus for action. But some things need to be defined (such as What constitutes a secure border?), some things need to be required (such as use of E-verify and a national citizen biometric secure ID), and some things take precedence over others (such as phasing in a pathway to citizenship but only after reasonably securing the border). It all needs to start with hearings and a vigorous debate in Congress next year. We don't need quick fixes, but we do need a serious bi-partisan debate that sets definitions and expectations, sequences events, and sets timelines.
To keep the balance sheet satisfied, let's deport one gang banger for each productive, honest, taxpaying undocumented we let stay in this country. We would realize a double gain. Get rid on one bad person, keep one good one.
Next we have to integrate these good workers into the system so that they receive proper wages, pay taxes and FICA; get health insurance and reduce the strain of trying to school their children.
There is nothing more hypocritical than playing the game, "we got here first," so now we are going to make it impossible for you to get into this country. My family came from Germany and Poland. While it was before my time, I doubt they had to climb fences and crawl through tunnels to get here.
There are many U.S. "citizens" who contribute nothing to our economy or society. A "swap" program might be a wakeup call. The Hispanics with whom I have known work very hard and really try to the best job they can. Novel!
Ron Kriel CAPT US
Ron,I couldn't agree with you more. Run for political office, I'd vote for ya
As a safety/environmental professional, I understand that states have the rights to enact more stringent laws than the federal laws, but not more lieninet.
Person to person enforcement is one method. But refusal to hire or house undocumented immigrants will also have a significant impact on illegal immigration. By using "E-Verify" employers can tell within ten minutes if a worker is legal. Sanctions must be taken against those who hire or house illegals.
There is universal consensus to stop crime, drugs, weapons and human trafficing, moving both ways across the border.
There will be an impact on our fresh fruit and vegetables or more will come from South America. With the shortcomings of the FDA, this may not be all bad.
Regardless of the approach taken, undocumented workers who are working, paying taxes and breaking no laws should receive special consieration. Let's send American gang bangers back to Mexico and keep good immigrants here.
Ron Kriel CAPT USN
my belief is that whoever wants to work here is to live here, so all laws should be followed just like us citizens have to do. we hear all this crying and battling about racisism, but the truth is something they try and keep hidden all the drug trafic and all bodies found around borders, gang wars. they had the chance years back but look at L A now and other states, we're getting gangs from all of south america and these are really vicious individuals that local law enforcement can't handle because of their armament. so people be realistic, every imigrant should go through legal channels, even imigrants from europe!
I believe those who agree with the Arizona immigration law should either: take a refresher course on Constitutional Law or, read the Constitution again.
I believe it is just another partisan tactic for the benefit of votes this November. People are just not investing the time and study and gaining facts as they should be--Ms. Sherrod is a prime example of the most recent knee-jerk reaction.
I agree with you Reverend. It is one of the reasons I just joined the Legion as a new member this month! After reading about the dwindling numbers of our Posts for both the Legion and VFW's I joined thinking that this brotherhood would stand for something American. The TeaParty movement reflects a growing number of Patriots who want the Federal Government to do their job according to the constitution and with sound fiscal responsibility. I believe the Legion should partner with this movement to uphold American values and freedoms. The only side the Legion takes should be what is in the best interest of law abiding Americans. If there are liberals in the ranks, they should consider another organization to join. Conservative Americans are the true Patriots of this country. Politicians just know how to play the game. As for the dwindling numbers of our membership, I understand why there are less people involved. There is no incentive and there is no proactive attempt to recruit Patriots
I have seen Tea Party rally speakers openly call for the violet overthrow of the United States. I have heard several conservatives support this scum, openly giving them aid and comfort.
"Law abiding Americans"? "True Patriots"? These lying thieving lowlifes? No! These are traitors, and their deluded followers.
Appears you are well on you way to becoming one of the domestic enemies you once swore to defend this nation against.
Shake off the brainwashing, clean out your ears, open your eyes, and fact check what you hear and read. You'll find yourself opposing the anti-American anti-Christian slime you currently think you support.
Those of us who belong to the legion have earned that priviliage. How dare you even think that those of us who are not bigots like yourself should not belong and defend our points of view. Your implication that even if you fought for the USA you are not a patriot unless you are also a consevative makes me sick. If you want to live in a place with conservitive one party rule move someplace that already has it, Kazakhstan comes to mind.
I live in AZ and know Americans who have been harassed because they are brown. It does not matter to the sheriff's department if you say you are a citizen or if your family has been in this country for generations. If you are brown you will be pulled over.
Ray, by changing the tax code to encourage manufacturing to stay in this country; pulling all troops home from overseas to defend our borders/harbors, etc.; stop providing tax benefits to all illegal aliens; deport all illegals already here; change immigration policy to make sure immigrants come here to be productive people; change Constitution to eliminate the "anchor baby" scam; and finally, lower taxes like Pres Reagan did but also insure House of Reps don't spend all the extra revenue that comes to Treasury after taxes are lowered. Just a few ways to lower the deficit without raising taxes.
To all of you questioning why the Legion is involved in the immigration issue. Look at the back of your membership card and read the preamble to the Legion's constitution. I've selected those goals I think apply:
To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America;
To maintain law and order;
To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism;
To inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation;
To safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy;
That's why we should be involved.....
Rev. David A. May I
I have read nothing in the Arizona law that has to do with establishing or changing the existing federal immigration statutes. Instead this law identifies that state's intent to uphold the federal law and sets forth processes to be used to do so. I do not understand how the federal government can spend tax dollars to curtail a state's ability to uphold federal statutes yet still expect its citizens to continue to support that government. Come on! Give us all a break. Why are we pandering to the Mexican government on these issues?
How do you propose to secure our borders, cut the deficit, keep social security and military pensions and still have the lowest tax rate in the industrialized world?
Although our tax rate is on the lower end of the range of the (rather socialist) countries of the Eurozone, it isn't even close to the lowest in the developed world.
And here's a good way to pay for defending our borders: quit subsidizing illegal immigration. In Arizona, recent estimates are that almost 10% of our residents are here illegally. They fill our schools, they inundate our child protection services, they clog our courts, particularly the juvenile courts (these are often "anchor babies" and citizens!), they overwhelm our health care services.
One of only 2 full trauma centers in southern Arizona went bust a few years ago, because Federal law requires them to provide services to illegals, but won't help with the cost.
This is a national problem, but only a few states are stuck with the majority of the costs. If Obama's home state, Illinois, had to foot the bill for all these illegals and cut welfare for legals, you can bet he'd be doing something about it.
When will people realize that these are not immigrants. An immigrant is one who has come to this country, legally, for the purpose of gaining citizenship through lawfull means.
Those who enter this country without permission are criminal intruders or illegal Aliens.
This is not an Immigration issue. It is a criminal matter since they are entering in violation of our laws and thus becomes the pervue of all law enforcemment and not just the Federal Government. By passing a Law in Arizona aginst criminal intrusion, the State has defined it's roll of protecting it's borders from unlawfull ingress. We should all back Arizona for it's fortitude in attempting to protect it's citizens.
Chaplain Lambert, your heart is in the right place; unfortunately, the law is not. I did some research and not only does the federal government have the constitutional power to regulate who is allowed to immigrate to this country, it also has the power not to enforce the removal of illegals.
I was a police officer in Texas in the late 1960's and the U.S. Border Patrol used to pay us $25 for each illegal allien we turned over to them. Can you imagine the heartburn that would cause today given the uproar over the Arizona law. Btw, we did not go out of our way to look for illegals and we didn't disrupt the lives of U.S. citizens of hispanic heritage by checking everyone's papers. Believe it or not, you can tell an illegal from a legal resident most of the time just by talking to them. My fellow officers who were hispanic were especially good at doing so. Did we profile? You could call it that, but we didn't run little old ladies barefoot through x-ray machines.
Sam, Unfortunately SOMETHING has got to be done. The Harris County Criminal Justice Center processes an estimated 7,000 illegal's that have been arrested for a CRIME per MONTH in the Houston Area ALONE! That does not account for the other jailing systems around us here in Houston.
We also recently (last yr) had a high speed chase of a stolen car (by an illegal man and woman). They lost control and slammed into the back of a pickup being loaded up by one of our Volunteer Firefighters. He lost both legs and has gone through countless surgeries so far.
Those American's that support Obama's desire to assist these illegals because they "just want a job" like Obama said a couple weeks back are WRONG in thinking that way. We aren't giving "them a job", we are "taking away jobs from ourselves"! How can we support them when we are at a High in Unemployment, facing a Double Dip recession and increasing the deficit faster than EVER?!?! Something is bound to fail.
We have thousands of citizens training with guns to fight the federal government. We have thousands of citizens training with guns in the Appleseed project because they believe that taxes are oppression. We have states rights issues settled with the blood of over a million American soldiers (two of whom are my ancestors) yet today this "states rights" beast raises its head again in the "American Legion".
Well when soldiers lives are on the line because amateurs carrying guns are firing at the army of the government of the people of the United States of America then remember that the American Legion helped those amateurs to play soldier and imagine that our sons and daughters were just another deer to hunt.
Gun runners are organizing these groups and they are no better than the gun runners in the 19th century that put so many American soldiers in harms way. They are the scum of the earth and the American Legion shouldn't support them.
Someone needs to realize that without corporations and CEO's there would be no businesses. Conservatives don't believe in hiring illegals to work for either of the above, but we feel it is done because lots of small businesses cannot afford to hire "union members" who cost too much for them. In this economy businesses are suffering badly and if it continues there will be no rehiring or in lots of cases they will continue to close down, having already layed off lots of employees.
Illegals cost lots of taxpayers money to keep them here and they are "breaking the law"!
I am a new member and I did not join to be subjected to politics that is not about membership. If this continues I will be forced to terminate my membership
One person's politics is another persons concerns about current events. Perhaps you and CalBoomer (7/29/10, 10:06 p.m.) could form a new organization and post a forum where nobody talks about anything unless it suits your idea of non-political thought.
No one has made any point as to why this publication has to insert itself into what is a legal and political issue.
Whether it is immigration or health insurance, it's political.
The only politics this organization should concern itself with are issues pertaining to honorably discharged and active-duty military !
How has this publication inserted itself into what is a legal and political issue? It merely provides a forum for the free exchange of ideas. Why are you against members discussing current events that are important to most Americans? I believe that current events, including immigration, health insurance and the economy are a concern of many honorably discharged and active-duty military. If you don't like the discussion of current events, you don't have to participate or read them; I respect your decision not to do so, but I don't care for your attempt to stop the discussion of events that are important to our nation.
Yes, the Feds are responsible for immigration policy. The Feds refuse to follow their own laws and very possibly are refusing to do what the Constitution of the U.S. requires then to do! If the Feds default in their duties it is the duty of the state to fill this void and protect the interests of the citizens and the state. Question? Who is protecting my civil rights against those who are in this counrty illeaglly, receiving free health care, a free public education, and receiving social security without paying one dime into the system? As a combat Veteran from the Viet Nam era I resent my homeland being invaded and my government doing nothing to stop this invasion.
Don't take my word for it. Go google for yourself. Everyone who votes for the "federal government is doing nothing" choice is falling for and propagating a BARE FACED LIE.
Hell no states do NOT have the right to impose their own immigration laws. That is a Federal responsibility. Don't take my word for it. Go read the US Constitution.
Arizona DOES have the right to secure their own border, as do the other border states. So why is it that none have positioned their National Guard and other security forces along the border? No, they shouldn't have to, but as far as I know there is nothing stopping them lining up bodies shoulder to shoulder along the border if that is what they chose to do.
Oh, it's blame you want to assign. Ok, start with whatever pack of idiots convinced Reagan it was better to ship illegals back than to toss them in prison. Hint, they're still screaming for ever more tax cuts.
It takes more than a simple read to see that immigration is a federal responsibility and that the 10th amendment does not apply. In fact, you have to go back to an 1893 Supreme Court Decision: Fong Yue Ting, Wong Quan, and Lee Joe v. the United States (149 U.S. 698(1893)). There is a more recent decision,Truax and the Attorney General of the State of Arizona v. Raich, which was decided by the Supreme Court in 1915 that says the federal government has the power to decide who to let in and who to expel. One could argue that the current Arizona law does not decide who to let in or expel, so Truax does not apply. I am not an attorney, but I don't believe Truax applies to the current law; however, Truax is based partially on Fong et.al. v. the United States. What is interesting about Fong is the fact that it states the federal government has the right to do nothing about illegal aliens in the U.S.
Reagan's method for dealing w/illegals was to make them citizens, not ship them back.
I am glad to see that the American Legion is informing the Veterans on issues that are of grave interest to us Vets. I do believe it to be important that you inform us of all things pertinent to the US, as we who all served in the US Military are generally interested to know if our services were for not. We remember all, as well as many of our buddies, who gave the ultimate sacrifice for Our country to be free. Furthermore, I can only quote "Remember the Alamo". The best is to take the "Nay Sayers" with a grain of salt. Thank You again.
The Govt. is not doing anything to protect our Borders, thus the States have a sovereign right to create the law(s) needed to protect their respective borders. We have lost National parks to illegals and as American citizens I am told I'm not allowed to visit U.S. Federal Parks along Arizona-Mexican Border. Thatis ludicrous as my Federal Taxes helped pay for those Parks as well as for the Federal Govt. to protect them. They tell us not to go there. Some of the borderlands of my State of Texas are also being infringed on by illegals. "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile". Enough is Enough. Thank You
They get a free pass because the politicians want their vote.
Who gives a crap about what Bush or anybody else did or didn't do, the current occupant is the one who needs his feet held to the fire. What part of illegal don't you understand, and yes, arrest the bosses and throw them in jail along with the illegals, or send both south of the border where they belong.
Then why aren't you jailing the hiring managers and CEOs of companies that hire them???
Oh my - what the HELL am I thinking? Asking Republicans to actually arrest someone from a corporation? That would NEVER happen! My GOD, what was I thinking? The world would come to an end if we actually expected a Republican to demand that a corporation actually adhere to our laws!
Under Bush - investigation and enforcement of employers hiring illegals went down SIXTY PERCENT.
Now - how many of you conservatives have the nerve to explain and defend that???
I mean, all we hear from you conservatives is that California and the other states that have medical marijuana laws SHOULDN'T have them, so when will you get your stories straight on this?
Do States have rights - or not? OR IS IT ONLY WHEN YOU REPUBLICANS WANT THEM TO???
The ruling part that put a hold on the Arizona law doesn't even sound like the judge knows what they are talking about. Say that inyour town, a bank is robbed, which is a FBI federal law. All states have their own laws that cover robbery. Do the local police arrest the suspects under the local law or the federal law? Since the judge says local laws can't be used in a case of a federal law, does that mean when a bank is robbed the FBI are the only police agency that can make the arrest? What about the new marriage laws in some of the states? Federal law says a man and a woman. What about medical marajana? and on and on. The BIG question is TAXES. who can empose them?
As I titled this, "Immigration is not a topic for the American Legion". The "Choices" are equal to the old Question: Have you stopped beating your wife? There is no good answer to that. This 'Legion Update' by e-mail has articles about Boys Scouts, Secretary Gates addressing scouts, TBI an PTSD issues,VA Staffing etc. These ARE issues that all members of the Legion should be updated on. A discussion on "Immigration" is a legal and political issue that IS NOT in the interest of the Legion. This law has already had a hearing and a judgment has been rendered. It may be a U.S. Supreme Court case but to add it to the Legion mail takes away from the topics we all need to pay attention to.
The American Legion has lead on issues that we veterans need most. It has people in Washington to discuss matters directly with the congress and administration. There is no doubt that the American Legion has helped. Delving into politics is not a good choice. It should do what the Legion does best.
If a person comes here on a valid visa, when it expires, that person will get a contact from the Feds and must leave, and will be deported if s/he doesn't comply. Furthermore, if the person attempts to collect welfare or health care at public expense, that person's visa will be revoked.
If, however, one sneaks into the country, one is entitled to free education, free health care, free social services indefinately, and with so little fear of getting sent home that, at least here in Arizona, they routinely allow themselves to be publicly identified. What's most amusing is that you must supply your social security number to apply for free meals in our public schools. Unless you claim not to have a social security number because you are illegal. Then your kids will automatically get free lunch.
The howling about racism and profiling is only to obscure that fact that there is no logical reason not do do what Arizona is doing
Naturalization is the responsibility of the Federal government under the Constitution. Securing the borders is the responsibility of the states, according to the original Constitution. That changed in the 1920's and subsequently as increasingly "progressive" judges have managed to interpret the rules. Arizona is not only within its rights, but they have a responsibility to control their borders, with or without Federal help.

Given that Fulham plays Chelsea mid week, and Arsenal over the weekend, should Martin Jol help Spurs - if it's within his powers, by beating or drawing with our rivals?
Then again, given the circumstances leading to his embarrassing departure from WHL, would you ask him to help?
...I have my doubts.
No, of course he won't help us.....he's gonna throw both games and drop 6 points and all because he MAY be pi*sed at Spurs ? Are you mad ? MJ is a class act and he's going full out for results.
We won't even enter his head most likely.Except a fond memory of beating us at the Lane.
We sure witnessed his "Class Act" on display last night against Chevski!!!

Mercedes Cox (18 points), Hope Wigginton (16) and Elizabeth Thomas (10) combined for 44 points as the Taylor County Lady Cardinals held off visiting Bardstown 57-49 on Friday night.
The Lady Cardinals (10-4) led by double digits at the half and still held an 11-point cushion (49-38) n the fourth quarter until a free throw and two Alyssa Thompson three-pointers made it 49-45 with 3:30 to play.
However, the Lady Cards nailed seven of 10 free throws down the stretch, six of eight by Cox, to post the victory.

Palo Alto's SoftTech VC is hardly your typical venture capital firm. Its founder, Jeff Clavier, is French. The firm helped pioneer the "micro VC" trend, bridging the gap between angel investors and big venture funds to place early bets on startups such as Mint, Fab and Fitbit.
The newest addition to the team, Charles Hudson, has a colorful history all his own, ranging from dot-com pioneer Excite@Home to Google to the CIA. He also happens to be one of the very few African-Americans in the venture industry. In this week's Elevator Pitch, Hudson talks about drones -- the commercial kind -- and how to widen the pipeline into VC.
Q: How'd you get into this racket?
A: When I was in college, I was working at Excite@Home. I thought I was going to go into finance after I graduated, and I was looking at career options in investment banking. My boss encouraged me to take a meeting with her husband, who was starting a new VC firm. That firm was In-Q-Tel (the CIA's nonprofit venture fund), and I ended up working there for about 3 1/2 years before I went back to business school.
I realized that I loved the world of startups and investing and that it was something I wanted to return to after I had some operating experience. With SoftTech, it's been great to have the opportunity to get back in after learning quite a bit more about how startups and big companies work.
Q: What do you like about VC?
A: For me, the best thing about the job is the ability to provide hungry, visionary people with the capital that helps them build businesses that really have impact. I get to spend my day hearing about the problems they're tackling and their visions for the future.
Q: What kinds of pitches are you looking for now?
A: I am a really founder-driven investor; it all starts with the quality of the founding team and their vision. So I tend to have a fairly heterogeneous set of interests, as I can't predict what kinds of opportunities are capturing the minds of smart people.
Overall, though, I am very drawn to marketplaces and mobile, as both are really interesting areas.
Q: What's the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make?
A: There are so many things that can go wrong. One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is failing to heed clear signs from the market that the idea they are pursuing just isn't working. There's a fine line between stubbornness and persistence, and the difference is often only clear after the fact.
The other big mistake I see is entrepreneurs raising only enough money to fund their plan, assuming nothing goes wrong. In almost every case, something does go wrong, and plans that don't have any cushion in them can leave entrepreneurs needing capital at the worst time.
Q: What's the next big thing going to be?
A: I wish I knew! I'm a big fan of commercial drones, as I believe they will have significant impact on the world in which we live.
I also believe we are in the very early stages of some big changes to the way urban transport and logistics function -- we are going to see many new, interesting things happen in that space.
Q: You've worked for both the CIA and Google. Which one is more evil?
A Neither is evil, in my opinion. Both are really mission-driven and secretive and have to balance forces that are not always visible to the public. I don't envy the leaders of either organization -- they both operate in really difficult environments.
Q: You've focused a lot of your career on social gaming. What's the future there, given that Wall Street still seems to hate Zynga?
A: I really do love games. It's a great business. But it's clear that Wall Street has a hard time getting excited about it.
There's a handful of great private companies, including the folks behind Minecraft, SuperCell, King, Kixeye and Kabam, that all have strong financials. We'll see if any of them can make it to the public markets and change Wall Street's perception.
Q: More than a dozen years ago, I participated in a tech-trivia contest with a bunch of Silicon Valley investors and execs, who were stumped when asked to name a black venture capitalist. Why haven't things changed since then?
A: That's a really good question. I think it's due to the fact that the historical path to getting into VC is either starting a venture-backed startup or working as an exec in a major tech company for some period of time. And historically it has been important to have a technical background as well. When you apply those filters, the candidate pool is relatively small.
So either the candidate pool will have to enlarge -- and there are many people working on the pipeline issue -- or the types of candidates that VCs want to hire will have to change. I'd bet on the former over the latter.

I want to wear Contact Lenses but my doctor says I have an astigmatism. What is that anyway?
August 31, 2012 Leave a comment
Astigmatism is a very common vision condition that causes blurred vision mainly due to the way your cornea is shaped. It prevents light from focusing on your retina, causing the images you see to be blurred.
Many people with astigmatism feel that they cannot wear contact lenses because of this and nothing could be farther from the truth. Contact Lens manufacturers make "toric" lenses, which are especially made for people with astigmatism. These soft, disposable lenses have tiny weights in the lens that are shaped to help you focus and see better.
There are many lenses to choose from, depending on your lifestyle. Acuvue has a weekly disposable lens called Acuvue Oasys for Astigmatism that you use daily for 2 weeks and start a new pair when you throw the old ones out.
If you're not interested in cleaning and disinfecting your lenses daily, you can opt for Focus Dailies Toric. They come in either a 30 day box or a 90 day box for each eye. There is no maintenance with these lenses, you simply throw them out at the end of the day and start a fresh pair every morning.
Speak to your eye care professional on which lenses will work best for your prescription and lifestyle. Most locations will give you a trial pair with your eye exam so you can test the comfort and vision before making a purchase.

About the Book
Biographer John Allen collects the ArchbishopDesmond Tutu's most profound, controversial, and historic words in thisinspiring anthology of speeches, interviews, and sermons that have rocked theworld. An unforgettable look at the South African pastor's deeply rootedempathy and penetrating wisdom, God IsNot a Christian is perfect for anyone moved by of Martin Luther King Jr.'s"I Have a Dream" speech or Nelson Mandela's stirring autobiography Conversations with Myself, brilliantlyconnecting readers with the courageous and much-needed moral vision thatcontinues to change countless lives around the globe.
In this essential collection of Desmond Tutu's most historicand controversial speeches and writings, we witness hisunique career of provoking the powerful and confronting theworld in order to protect the oppressed, the poor, and othervictims of injustice.
Renowned first for his courageous opposition to apartheidin South Africa, he and his ministry soon took on internationaldimensions. Rooted in his faith and in the values embodiedin the African spirit of ubuntu, Tutu's uncompromisingvision of a shared humanity has compelled him to speakout, even in the face of violent opposition and virulent criticism,against political injustice and oppression, religiousfundamentalism, and the persecution of minorities.
Arranged by theme and introduced with insight andhistorical context by Tutu's biographer, John Allen, thiscollection takes readers from the violent apartheid clashesin South Africa to the healing work of the Truth andReconciliation Committee; from Trafalgar Square after thefall of the Berlin Wall to a national broadcast commemoratingthe legacy of Nelson Mandela; from Ireland's Christ ChurchCathedral in Dublin to a basketball stadium in Luanda,Angola. Whether exploring democracy in Africa, the genocidein Rwanda, black theology, the inclusion of gays andlesbians in the church, or the plight of Palestinians, Tutu'smessage of truth is clear and his voice unflinching.
In a world of suffering and conflict, where human laws alltoo often clash with God's law, Tutu's hopeful, timeless messagesbecome increasingly necessary and powerful with eachpassing year—and are needed now more than ever.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"His unofficial legacy will be his life and the story of how this tiny pastor with a huge laugh from South Africa became our global guardian." — Time magazine
"For decades [Tutu] has been a moral titan—a voice of principle, an unrelenting champion of justice, and a dedicated peacemaker ... an outspoken voice for freedom and justice in countries across the globe; a staunch defender of the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender persons ..." — President Barack Obama
"An ideal calling card for this magnificent apostle of peace and fellowship. The selections span four decades of Tutu's advocacy for tolerance, justice, and forgiveness." — Booklist

Off-Campus Access
Using EZproxy and VPN
Current students, faculty, and staff at WFU are eligible to use EZproxy for off-campus access to databases. You will be prompted automatically for your WFU username and password.
EZproxy works by detecting a special prefix to the URL. At WFU, this prefix is http://ezproxy.wfu.edu/login?url=. The full URL for JSTOR, for example, can be seen in your browser's status bar when the link is hovered. This prefix works for both database entry pages (the JSTOR example) and for article-specific links (such as this article from Project MUSE).
If you create content for off-campus students, please include the EZproxy prefix on any links to library databases or e-journals. If you receive Table of Contents alerts via e-mail or RSS (e.g. from ScienceDirect), you must add the prefix to each link before it will work off campus. Alternatively, you can use VPN.
VPN (Virtual Private Network)
VPN is an alternative to EZproxy. In addition to security benefits, VPN gives you an on-campus address which will authenticate you to our databases. Information Systems supports and provides instructions for VPN.
Are you a WFU alum?
Most electronic resources may not be used by alumni while off campus. This is a condition that our vendors place on us in our contracts when we buy databases from them. The ZSR Library does provide alumni access for selected databases. In most cases, alumni and the public are also welcome to use all our databases when they are in the library.
Are you studying abroad in a WFU house?
Students in WFU houses in Venice, Vienna, and London must use VPN instead of EZproxy. You must explicitly launch VPN from your Start menu.
Are you trying to connect from your place of work?
Please note that our databases are for educational, non-commercial use only.
If you are connecting to WFU databases from a corporation, hospital campus, or government office, there may be a firewall in place which prevents you from using EZproxy. Corporate sites often employ firewalls and may be highly restrictive in what their employees can access. If a corporate firewall prevents access, users will not be able to access EZproxy. Most Internet Service Providers do not limit the areas their users can access on the Internet, so home users do not tend to encounter problems with firewalls.
If EZproxy is malfunctioning?
Reynolda campus undergraduates and students in the Divinity School or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences should email ZSR or call 336-758-5475.
MBA students should call 336-758-4126. Law students should call 336-758-4300.
Medical campus users should contact Molly Barnett at 336-716-2303. See also these medical campus instructions.
Why are EZproxy and VPN needed?
Many expensive subscription web-based services (such as databases and electronic journals) are restricted to current Wake Forest students, faculty, and staff. EZproxy and VPN are two ways to notify a subscription database that you are a legitimate Wake Forest user when you are off campus.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 336-758-5475.

From September to April, the Church at Osage Hills has packed more than 12,000 buddy packs that benefited lake area school children.
When the staff at Osage Hills found out that many lake area schools were facing cuts to their buddy pack program, they knew that they had to step in. The Buddy Pack Ministry was created, volunteers were found and packing began. Osage Hills became an official Buddy Pack Bank through the Central Missouri Food Bank and once a month packed about 1,200 to 1,300 packs in about an hour.
"Because of the folks at Osage Hills stepping in, they literally saved the buddy pack program for the lake area," Central Missouri Food Bank Executive Director, Peggy Kirkpatrick said. It is important to note that Osage Hills serves schools in Morgan County including Stover and Versailles, Miller County including Iberia and excluding Eldon and School of the Osage in Camden County. The Camdenton R-III District handles their own buddy packs.
Osage Hills raised a total of about $40,000 for the program according to Kirkpatrick.
"Not only money, but they gave time and expertise to make it happen," she added.
On Sunday, April 28, the Church at Osage Hills packed their last buddy packs for this school year. Kirkpatrick made her way to the lake for the packing. She arrived and walked into the packing area like any other volunteer. She was immediately placed on a packing line in the midst of other buddy pack servants. She said the first thing she noticed is that she was not as fast as the other packers. Not only was she surprised by their speed, but she was impressed by the heart of the ones who served.
"It was very insightful," Kirkpatrick said. "I heard compassion, commitment and a desire to give back."
As a surprise to many, Kirkpatrick stood up during a banquet held on Sunday afternoon and showed her appreciation for the Church at Osage Hills and to all of those who have served.
"I thanked them for not just talking their faith but living their faith," she said. "That is really important and especially in today's world."
The Buddy Pack Ministry will start up again in August. Donations are always needed. Residents can donate their time or monetarily by calling The Church at Osage Hills at 348-1030.
Numbers to know...
# of buddy pack servants- more than 600
# of packs packed since September- more than 12,000
# of buddy packs packed each month- About 1,200 to 1,300
Amount of food handled- more than 16 tons
Amount of money raised- Approximately $40,000
