its so alinski of you to bring up the slander of America's greatest president just to justify your racist support of Dixie, too.
that's a valid point, and therefore must be ignored.
The founding fathers would have rode you out of town on a rail - you hater of the republic. Federal boot licker, I don't know why I even bother with a slug like you. Again you show you are an idiot.
So you don't have an answer to my questions.
So noted.
Having another tough day cva?
Perhaps it comes from being a shoe fetishist? LOL
Only someone with their head completely up there ass would call states regaining their sovereignty anarchy. I made that comment to catch the statist tools. I have caught you too, keep it up boot lickers.
Very predictive of you - nice work!
gotta admit, that's just damn funny - nice!
That's from cva's private gallery - he only trots it out when he's "in the mood" if you catch my drift. ;-)
Or perhaps someone who thinks that life would be easier to predict, and business growth or operation easier to manage if the entire basis of the legal system was periodically changed in unpredictable ways has a basic problem with their reality orientation.
So Liechtenstein and Monaco can exists sovereigns, but Arkansas cannot? Screw you thug, you statist pig dog. I spit in your fascist face.....
They have some silly rule that if you call someone a Nazi then you loose, well the shoe fits...
Get off "Free Republic" you creep.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Litany of secession:
If the federal government causes you to sin against God then secede from it, cut it off like a cancerous limb; cast it from thee because it is far better to live in a smaller, free republic of God fearing states than perish in the hellfire of centralized federal tyranny. Whatever hardship may come secede just the same for it is profitable for a group of states to restore a Free Republic than let the entire nation cast your state into hell.
Monaco is a pet of France. Lichtenstein is a protectorate of Switzerland. They have been that way for many years.
Your proposition: "Radical change in government every 2 years as the default position" would have none of their advantages.
Tell you what. If states becoming independent is such a good idea, then a city or county becoming independent would be an even better idea. If a city or county becoming independent would be a good idea, then having your own country's consisting of your house and back yard would be absolutely brilliant. Don't buy any food not grown in your back yard. Don't connect to phone lines not controlled completely by you. Enjoy your solitude. Have a happy life.
The sane people will then be untroubled by you.
I am talking about states rights jerk off. Quit changing the subject.
States' right to what?
The pretend republic that Illinois Butcher created suites the DC Fascists. It suites needs of the corporations, media, lobbyists and statist pigs just fine at the expense of the states and the people. FedGov :One stop shopping for all of you tyrannical needs". A situation that you like and are fine with - Boot licker paradise. You are tool and a fool, a pretend patriot with no understanding of the intent of the original republic. Open your little mind and expand on your knowledge and try to question the reconstructed history that has brain washed your feeble mind, here's to hoping you learn something one day before you die....
Lincoln didn't create the federal government, and fought the entire insurrection with the courts in session and a seated SCOTUS that on occasion frustrated him. By contrast, Jeff Davis, while not elected in accordance with an accepted constitution, attempted by insurrection to create a government that denied states the rights to abolish slavery, and fought his insurrection without any legal restrictions because he never appointed a pretended counterpart to the US Supreme Court. Jeff Davis fits the definition of tyrant far better than Lincoln.
Sadly, I agree with you that the current federal government has overstepped its authority. I don't see how refighting the insurrection of 1860 to 1865 leads to reduced federal authority. Against insurrection, the federal government gains power. I would not start an insurrection absent the most important and crucial purposes. As last time it would do more harm than good.
I don't see how having people who support smaller government restricted to roles outside the government would ever lead to smaller government. Rather, I would have people who support smaller government inside the government so they could help shrink it.
It would be very nice if the SCOTUS would hold that the Department of Agriculture, Education, Labor, HUD were unconstitutional for a start. They haven't done so, so the appropriate approach would be to win some elections, and in that way get people inside the government that can pare back its excesses. That realization was in part why I changed my registration from Libertarian to Republican. That frightens people enough that Gov. Christie of NJ felt it necessary to complain publicly about libertarians in the Republican party.
States can also be tyrannical, and the federal constitutional guarantee to the states of a republican form of government is one of the crucial feedback loops that could prevent state tyranny. The clause that grants people from out of state 'privileges or immunities' is crucial to efficient use of production.
What is a corporation? It is a voluntary association of people. People apply for positions in the corporation, they seek to purchase shares, they do business with it, and they loan it money voluntarily, or they do none of those things as they choose, using their personal benefit and interests to guide their decision. Leftists really hate the voluntary nature of the corporation. They ape its success as an organizational principle, while rejecting its voluntary nature. Accordingly government leftists start pretended corporations like Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, using coerced funding, and then force people to do business with them. There is nothing wrong with a corporation that would not be cured by removing coercion.
Corporations with bad people, bad business models, or bad circumstances can and should go down, and in so doing they free resources for good people, good business models and improved circumstances to profit. Their failures only hurt the people who choose to do business with them. In that way, the wider public is preserved and protected from business failure.
The Republic stood before Lincoln assumed office and still stood after he was gone, your delusions notwithstanding. You are wound tight as a drum cva - you would do well to find something else that is more relaxing to do.
A Lincoln Lovin' statist Libertarian, weird.
I'm fine, it's you fools that are lugging around the weigh of oppression without seeing it. One day when the scales fall from your eyes then you will see.
Actually, no you're not. Your language is offensive, your positions are preposterous and you're only semi-coherent. If you keep going on this way someone is going to take notice - and not in as nice a way.
Don't play the fool, FRiend ;-)
Dude, you are out of control. In answer to your PM, no - I am not threatening you. What an imbecilic thing to say! How am I going to follow through with that - cast a spell on you?! Send secret electrical impulses through the Intarweb? Come on.
I would be doing you a favor to ping the mod to have some of your more outrageous posts removed but I won't. Instead I am inclined to leave them here as witness to what happens when someone loses their grip on reality.
Y'all have yourself a super technicolor day now, 'yhear?
Wow, I must be over the target. A lot of flack here. I seem to be getting under you skin. Love it.
I was a Libertarian in California. I changed jobs, and moved to Sealy Texas.
I lived in Ron Paul's district in Texas. I went to a few of his events. Oddly, he seemed to pander to people who favored secession. Not in 1860, but next week. They seemed a bit off to me, like the New Hampshire Libertarians who really only care about smoking pot.
To find sane people I joined the Republican Party. I really used to enjoy the barbeques. I even got myself a Barbeque Gun. Just needed something to break the ice. Clip loaded revolvers are rare enough to be remarkable and worthy of conversation.
Good people, once you get past their quirks.
Not interested in your pretend life. Tell someone the gives a crap....
You seemed to be interested enough to comment questioning how I could admire the great work that Lincoln did while myself being attracted to Libertarian Party and libertarian ideas.
I personally am very interested in how you picked up the mishmash of falsehood and spin that you seem to have influencing you. Feel free, if you like, to send a private message.
One great problem with government is corruption. One approach to corruption is to have power diffused, so that once one part becomes corrupt, another part either uncorrupted or even corrupted differently, can hold the other in check. That is the great genius of the US federal system. If a state government is corrupted, it could be put back in line by the people, or it could be restricted by the federal government, or the bad effects of its corruption could be mitigated by the inflow or outgo of uncorrupted people. We see how corrupt Detroit has hemmoraged jobs and people, and those who left are now less affected by Detroit's corruption.
If one was to accept that Reconstruction government was corrupt, it was in part cured by KKK murders, and in part by the refusal of the US government to continue suppression of the KKK. In response to corruption in the de-reconstructed south, investments in the south were reduced, or were limited to areas where corruption was less of a problem.
On the other hand, if the pre-Reconstruction government was corrupt, or was differently corrupt, the intervention of the US government was at least able to change the path of its corruption, reducing the effect of that corruption on freedmen for the duration of the federal intervention.
It would be nice if you could discuss something without vulgar ad hominem attacks. You have some degree of learning and different experiences than I and I would like to understand it. The vulgarisms and ad hominem attacks detracts from your message.
Your "pretend" comments are falling on deaf ears.
Your statement shows a lack of understanding of the republic and its founding. The entire purpose of the US Constitution was to diffuse centralized power. Don't get hung up on the BOR. Lincoln aside, the republic was dealt a death blow in the 1860's. Thirty years later the Progressives finished off the weakened republic( I blame Lincoln for that weakened condition) with the 16th and 17th Amendments. Those two amendments killed the republic.
Try "rubbing your nose" in that and "pretend" you understand what I am saying.
The Consitution did indeed diffuse power, and federal powers were listed.
State powers were also limited, and to prevent military conflict between the states, (each state retained its militia) a means of resolution was provided using legal process, with the supreme court as original jurisdiction.
Citizens of one state are given rights when traveling through or doing business in other states in the Priviledges or Immunities clause. States rights to oppress local residents was further limited by the 14th Amendment.
The income tax amendment actually had minor effect. Income from wages, capital gains, or profits could already be taxed indirectly. Only income from rent of a property was considered not an indirect tax on behavior as it was thought to be too close to a direct tax on the value of the property, and so income on rent of property was not permitted to be taxed indirectly before the amendment. After the amendment, income from whatever source could be taxed indirectly. Other types of direct taxes (say a head tax) still retain the limitation as being proportional to census population. Since incomes and cost of living in different regions are different, head taxes are not used at the federal level.
The Election of Senators acted to diffuse power still more, removing authority to elect senators from the state legislature, and giving it to state voters. If diffuse power is a good thing, this was a good thing. Senator seats still remain hard to gerrymander, and still retain their long tenure in office.
To my mind, the northern US states had a better argument for secession than the southern states. The northern states were being denied due process for their citizens by the southern dominated US government. Further, they were being denied the authority to ban slavery on their own territory.
Still, they did not pretend to secession.
Slavery was indeed the kind of sin that would have justified secession, on the part of those who were opposed to the kidnapping, rape, and torture that were routinely used by the slave power. Justifying secession based on the demand that pretended rights to rape, torture, and kidnapping, not so much.
Citizens of one state are given rights when traveling through or doing business in other states in the Priviledges or Immunities clause. States rights to oppress local residents was further limited by the 14th Amendment.
The income tax amendment actually had minor effect.
The Election of Senators acted to diffuse power still more, removing authority to elect senators from the state legislature, and giving it to state voters. If diffuse power is a good thing, this was a good thing.
All unnecessary wordiness aside, you are now on record defending both the 16th and 17th amendments. All of Freeperdom knows what kind of person you "pretend" to be. In reality you are a progressive. IMO You should not be here.
Rather, if you can not defend the US constitution, as passed, and as amended, perhaps you would be happier someplace else.
Happy? You are happy? You are an idiot and a progressive. ( same thing)
I note you have no substantive disagreement with my reading of the various amendments.
You may prefer legislative selection of senators, as the common people can't be trusted to vote for the right person.
You may prefer that large landowners not be taxed for rent they collect, while the people who pay them rent are taxed on their wages.
I think those amendments were reasonable changes in principle. That doesn't mean I approve of all that happened afterwards. I am also on record for abolishing the Departments of Agriculture, Education, Labor, Housing and Urban Development as a start.
Of course I am happy!
Despite errors in government, I have a family, children to homeschool, a job, and confidence that the errors that the government makes today can be fixed tomorrow.

Change is in the air. Each day when we wake up and get ready for the new day, we must deal with change of some kind. How we deal with change is entirely up to each individual. Our world is changing every day as fast as the unlocked wheels of time allows. Is all change good? Well, only time will tell. Time is the great equalizer, or as the old adage goes, hindsight is always 20/20.
The Apostle Paul, as he traveled on the road to Damascus, in Acts Chapter 9, met up with Jesus as he was on his way to persecute Christians in Damascus. As he traveled on his journey, what a great change was experienced by the apostle. His outlook on his life was changed, his outlook on Christians was changed. As his life was changed, his effect on others lives was changed, also, from wanting to persecute Christians to wanting to convert people to Christianity.
I have heard the statement "times change, people don't" before, but I do not agree with the statement. People change and so do times with all the modern technology at our hands today. Change is inevitable. There is nothing that seems to stay the same. I remember when the first color televisions were coming into homes. What a wonderful change we thought that was. Now, nostalgia is the thing. In the summer, my wife and I go yardsaling or buying; we never come home with anything new, it is always at least 10 years old or older.
Everywhere we look, there is change going on. In school today, classes are offered to students that were not thought about when I was a student. I remember when we considered using an electric typewriter as uptown modern. Now with word processor on our computers, that really makes the electric typewriter sound obsolete. When did all this change occur? It didn't just happen overnight. It took years of research and development, a lot of trial and error. Medical science is not an exact science; there is a lot of experimenting trying new medicines. Not all change happens quickly, time is an element involved in change. But, there is one change that happens very quickly, that is the changing of a person's heart when Christ is allowed to enter into it. When this happens, change is also inevitable. There is only one thing that does not change: Malachi Chapter 3:6 says "For I am the Lord, I change not." We have this assurance in Hebrews Chapter 13:8: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever."
This week we were allowed to be part of history. We have just witnessed the swearing in of a new president of the United States of America. Whether or not he was your choice for president, he was the choice of our nation, and we should respect the office that he represents. In the second chapter of 1 Timothy, we find the following: "First of all, then I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving be made for everyone; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior." This week, as we experience the change of leadership of this great nation, I hope that you will be much in prayer for our new president; so that he may have a successful presidency for the good of the nation.

In this course, photographer Ben Long details the tools and techniques of lens-reversal macro photography. After investigating reversal ring options, the course explores the focusing and exposure techniques involved when shooting with a reversed lens.
Skill Level Intermediate
I've changed lenses. I've got the Canon 50mm f/1.2. I had the 1.4 earlier. I changed because of the filter size and you'll see why in a little bit. But I'm going to start by reversing it and taking a picture. I'm in Aperture Priority. I've dialed in to F8, hitting my Depth of Field Preview button and taking the lens off. This should all be old hat to you now. I have now fixed the aperture of this lens to F8. It's going to hold it on to the camera backwards. Switch into Manual mode and take a shot. I'm taking a shot because I want to show you the difference between magnification with this lens reversed normally, and magnification after we do something else to it.
Okay. Here we go. That looks pretty good. So I've taken a 50mm lens, which normally has a normal field of view -- that is a field of view that's roughly equivalent to the human eye -- and I've given it this tremendous macro power. But what if I want more macro power than that? I want you to think about what's going on with this lens, or any lens really. Light is coming through the lens and it's being bent and twisted and slowed down by the optics in there and an image is being projected out the back onto the image sensor and that's the image that I'm seeing in my final picture. What if there was a way that I could zoom in to that image and take a crop out of the middle of it? I would have even a closer image.
I would have even more magnification power. All I need is some kind of optical device that zooms in to things and makes them -- oh, I happen to have right here a Canon 70-200 Telephoto lens. If it was possible to get this lens reversed onto the front of this lens, then this lens would project a magnified image out the back and this lens would zoom on and grab only the middle of it. I presume by now that -- there is really no if about this, I wouldn't be mentioning this at all if it wasn't impossible. So let's get started.
This is a fairly simple process to do once you've got the right equipment. It starts by taking the 70-200 and mounting it on the camera. I'm not going to reverse it. I'm going to mount it normally because again, I want the full magnification power of this lens. With it, I'm basically taking a picture of what's coming out at the back of that lens. Now this lens has 77mm threads on it. This lens has 72mm threads on it. It turns out that all threads have a gender.
So normally, lenses have female threads on the end. So filters that go on have male threads. So if I had a way of doing female to female threads here, I could attach the front of this lens to the front of this lens. Well, it turns out there is such a thing. It's called a Coupler Ring, and I happen to have one right here. So this is basically male threads on both sides. I looked around on Amazon. I have two different filter sizes here. I've got 77 and 72. I looked around on Amazon and some other camera sites, I could not find a 72mm coupler, but I could find a 77mm coupler. It's fine. I only need one or the other.
So I'm going to take this 77mm coupler ring and attach it to the end of the lens with these 77mm threads. This is just like screwing in a filter. This is basically a filter with nothing in it and the other kind of threads on the other side. So I'm going to just screw this on. It attaches just like any other filter. I need to be very careful to screw it on straight and these large filters, you've got to be very careful with because it's easy to bend them and screw them on crooked. Now I'm ready to screw something else onto the front of this. Unfortunately, this lens has the wrong filter size, its 72 instead of 77.
So I went back to Amazon and looked around some more and I found a Step-Up Ring. This is a 72-77mm Step-Up Ring. What this does is basically change the thread size on the end of this lens. So if I attach this here, I can now -- that's going on wrong. If I can get this attached here, I will be able to attach 77mm threads to it. If this had been say a 79mm lens, then I would need a Step-Down Ring. I would need 79-77.
So that's on there and this is on here. I'm ready to flip the lens over and try screwing it on here. This is actually, as far as getting things threaded, the easiest step because this lens is nice and heavy. It really makes it go on pretty evenly. I want to be careful about how far I tighten this down because I don't want to not be able to get it off. Otherwise, both of these lenses will be stuck this way forever. I also do not have any additional filters on here. I don't have UV or Skylight filters on either lens or polarizers or anything else. It's best to take all those extra filters off because it's just more things that can be sandwiched and stuck together.
Now I have a lens with ludicrous magnification power. There are some caveats about using it though. Remember this lens was set to F8 or 5.6 or something ahead of time. It's still set that way. If you want to control the aperture of this array, this is where you need to do it. Your long lens that's in front needs to be set to wide open. So I'm going to go back to Aperture Priority. I can use Aperture Priority because I've got all of my contacts still going between the camera and my Telephoto lens.
I'm going to dial it down to 2.8. That's as wide as it will go. I've still got this set at F5.6, so I'm going to have some decent depth of field. The problem I'm going to have here -- I've also actually got auto focus if I want it, but I'm not going to use that. I'm going to just focus the way I normally would. The problem I'm having here is that it's going to be really hard to hold this stable. So it's a little slow. Let me bump up my ISO. It's on a 2.8 and I'm ready to go here. So here's my shot.
As you can see, I am in much closer than I was when I had only the reversed 50. You can also see that this lens is going to have to be cropped. It's got that bad vignetting around it there's nothing I can do about that. Still, this is a 23 megapixel camera. I can crop a lot and still have a very sizable image. If it's not sizable enough, if I want to get an even closer, I could add some extension tubes. Just like I did before I'd stick some extension tubes. They would go right here between the camera and the Telephoto lens. So this is a way to get a lot more magnification power.
I would not run out and buy this configuration of lenses with the idea that then I'm going to go macro shooting. There are great lenses but if you're really serious about macro shooting, go get a macro lens. If you do have some lenses and want to put them together in a configuration like this, you heard my thought process for how I figured out the rings. You need a coupler ring for one of the lenses and then the appropriate Step-Up or Step-Down Rings. The way you put them together is you need a long lens attached to the camera and a shorter lens that's reversed. It doesn't have to be a zoom. It just needs to be a fairly long lens like a 200 like this and then a 50 or shorter to go reversed on the front of it.
So if you've already got some of these, it doesn't take that much space to carry a couple of extra rings, they don't weigh anything. And in a pinch, they can give you a tremendous amount of macro power.

by Dante Alighieri
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Canto.Line). We used Allen Mandelbaum's translation.
Quote #4
They were all shouting: "At Filippo Argenti!"
At this, the Florentine, gone wild with spleen,
began to turn his teeth against himself. (Inf. VIII, 61-63)
After being violently rejected by Dante and called a "dog" by Virgil, Filippo Argenti goes mad and, unable to contain his rage, turns his wrath upon himself. His behavior seems distinctly bestial because only animals turn to as visceral a punishment as biting when enraged; for the most part, humans do not.
Quote #5
And at the edge above the cracked abyss,
there lay outstretched the infamy of Crete,
conceived within the counterfeited cow;
and, catching sight of us, he bit himself
like one whom fury devastates within.
Turning to him, my sage cried out:…
"Be off, you beast; this man who comes has not
been tutored by your sister; all he wants
in coming here is to observe your torments."
Just as the bull that breaks loose from its halter
the moment it receives the fatal stroke,
and cannot run but plunges back and forth,
so did I see the Minotaur respond; (Inf. XII, 11-25)
Not only is the Minotaur the unnatural spawn of man and animal, a "counterfeited cow," but it acts on animal impulses, biting itself, rearing in rage, and charging its offenders. It is no coincidence that Dante describes its movements as those of a haltered bull.
Quote #6
Then Chrion wheeled about and right and said
to Nessus: "Then return and be their guide;
If other troops disturb you, fend them off."
Now with our faithful escort, we advanced
along the bloodred, boiling ditch's banks,
beside the piercing cries of those who boiled.
I saw some who were sunk up to their brows,
and that huge Centaur said: "These are the tyrants
who plunged their hands in blood and plundering.
Here they lament their ruthless crimes; here are
both Alexander and the fierce Dionysius,
who brought such years of grief to Sicily." (Inf. XII, 97-108)
Here in the circle of the violent, the beastly figures (Centaurs – half man, half horse) prove to be more human than the human sinners. While the Centaurs speak coherently, the sinners only give out "piercing cries."

Beside the image, she expressed her excitement working with Boo (32).
"So excited to be shooting with Boo George – finally!! VB".
VB is among the long list of celebs Boo has photographed. He's also taken portraits of One Direction, Justin Bieber, Michelle Dockery and Michael Fassbender.
And according to Boo's 'younger but taller' brother, Tricky, the photographer is completely unfazed by his subjects' celebrity status.
"He doesn't get thrown by it at all," Tricky says.
"The whole celebrity thing is no big deal to him. I'll hear about it online and when I ask him he just says 'Oh yeah – I shot them' and shrugs."
"We were on holiday on Sherkin Island in Cork when he got this call asking him to fly back to London for the night to photograph One Direction for Teen Vogue – it was insane."

Email sent! Wish i could meet the F****ers down a dark alley with JOL by my side. He he
Maybe the board forgot this:
2005-06 Season accomplishments
» Highest ever finish in a Premiership season and highest in 16 years.
» First European qualification via the league in 23 years.
» Best home league record for a season in 15 years and 16th best of all time. (65% wins)
2006-07 Season accomplishments
» First league victory over Chelsea in 16 years.
» Won the most consecutive home games (league) in over 13 years. (7)
» Won the most consecutive home games (all competitions) in over 25 years. (12)
» First domestic cup semi-final for 5 years and first European cup quarter-final for 15 years.
» Best home league record for a season in 16 years and 14th best of all time. (68% wins)
» Club and British record amount of consecutive wins in Europe. (8)
» Second successive European qualificiation via the league for the first time in over 20 years.
From the Tottenham wikipedia....
OK, so its not the record of a Liverpool,Utd, Chelsea,Arsenal - but surely it shows we are moving in the right direction.
Football is fickle and Levy would be ficker if Jol is dumped (especially if the rumours were also true that Ajax were after him and he stayed with us)....

The agreement was for them to advertise and sell our timeshare within a year's time for a service fee of $899.00 or said money is refundable within 30 days prior to the expiration of the contract.
Well to say the least, after trying to contact them per the terms of the contract, we discovered the number disconnected and that this company was a complete rip-off and now they have relocated to Atlanta, GA under the assumed business name of New Horizons Marketing Realty Inc.
It is our full intentions to vehemently pursue this fraud and persecute to the fullest extent of the law if we can. Its sad that people like this exist in the world, but it is our duty as law abiding consumers to not let them get away with this and I admonish anyone else involved to do the same.

Bad Election Day for Lawmakers in Ethics Trouble
Eric Lipton of the New York Times had a round up on Friday of the election-day fortunes of members of Congress in ethics trouble. According to the article:
In races around the country, an unusually large number of lawmakers facing charges of wrongdoing were unceremoniously ousted from their jobs on Tuesday - which is quite rare, because more than 90 percent of the incumbents seeking re-election to Congress typically return for another term.
Perhaps Democrats and Republicans can agree that this is good news. The biggest example was Rep. Shelley Berkley (D-NV), who failed in her attempt to move up to the Senate, even though Obama carried Nevada. She was defeated by Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV), who was already in the Senate after have been appointed after John Ensign resigned.
From the article:
Ken Boehm, co-founder of the National Legal and Policy Center, a Virginia-based group that has filed ethics complaints, said some lawmakers under investigation come from districts dominated by one party. "These are people who it appears believe they are above the law and immune from defeat," he said.

SEC's FCPA Chief Leaves For Simpson Thacher
Cheryl Scarboro, who leads the Securities and Exchange Commission's anti-foreign bribery unit, is leaving the agency for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, the law firm announced Wednesday.
After 19 years with the SEC, she will join the firm's government and internal investigation's practice, it said in the statement. Scarboro led the SEC investigation of Siemens AG, which ended with an $800 million settlement with U.S. regulators, the largest in the history of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribery of foreign officials for business purposes.
She contributed to the rapid rise of enforcing the FCPA, and has worked closely with the Justice Department in doing so, the WSJ Law blog said.
Scarboro also handled or supervised the first-ever use of a deferred-prosecution agreement by the SEC in the Tenaris case, led the civil action for FCPA violations by 15 companies and three individuals in the United Nations oil-for-food kickback scandal in Iraq, and several high-profile insider trading cases, the SEC said in an emailed statement.
The law firm, which says it has a network of more than 800 lawyers around the world, is based in New York. Its Washington D.C. office focuses on securities enforcement and FCPA matters, it said in the statement.
Scarboro is the latest SEC official to leave the enforcement world for private practice, marking a practice known as the "revolving door" that has received harsh criticism from activists and others.
In May, a database of documents obtained by the Project on Government Oversight under the Freedom of Information Act revealed that 219 former SEC employees filed a total of 789 statements of intent to represent companies before the Commission within their first two years of leaving the agency.

Interview Tips
We're pleased that you will be interviewing with Colorado College! As interviews are a mutual exchange of information, this is an excellent opportunity for us to learn more about you and for you to learn more about the college. We will interview the student only, but there will be time after the interview for families to ask questions. Interviews typically last 30 – 45 minutes. A trained admission fellow, CC alumnus/alumna, or a member of the admission staff will conduct your interview. The following tips will help you better prepare for a thoughtful and productive interview.
The most important thing to remember is to be yourself! Often, it's difficult to present yourself genuinely under pressured situations, but if you are able to, it helps us get to truly know you and share the wonderful aspects of CC that would be most appealing to you.
Dress is casual. Please wear something you are comfortable in.
Learn about CC (read our Viewbook, surf the CC website, etc.) and prepare your questions ahead of time. You will have about 10 minutes at the end of your interview to ask questions.
While interviews are not required, they will be used in the evaluation of an application for those students who have the opportunity to interview. If you have the chance to interview, we highly recommend you take it. It is unlikely to hurt your chances.
Prepare to discuss your high school experience in an academic context.
Prepare to discuss your life outside the classroom. Think about the things you do that are most important to you.
- Let both your academic and other passions shine through! Although the interview does have the feeling of a conversation, don't be afraid to direct it yourself. Find what topic you like to talk about and tell us more!
We asked our Admission Fellows what their favorite interview questions are. Here are some of their responses:
If you are sitting in a CC classroom right now, what topic would you like to be discussing (or debating) and why?
Tell me about/describe an academic project or paper that they were particularly proud of.
While it's a frustrating one, I love the 'Tell me about yourself' question. It gives the student the opportunity to take the question in the direction that they want. I always hope for passion to come through.
What is your role in your group of friends and your family?
What is your favorite discussion you've had in a class?
Tell us about something that challenged you in high school. How did you overcome it?
If you could start a club or group at CC, regardless if it's in existence, what would it be?
Share a classroom discussion that changed your perspective on something.
Tell me something that inspired you in high school.

Cocktails, cookouts, coolers full of beer and town pool snack bars -- does that sound at all like your Memorial Day weekend? Bathing-suit season has only just begun, so if you went a little off the deep end in terms of eating, drinking and being merry, don't stress. You can get right back on track!
"First and foremost, relax and take a deep breath — it's not as bad as you think and it's never irreversible," says Jim White, registered dietician, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer and spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND).
According to White, you may feel a loss of control right now, but it is possible to regain your momentum. "The most important thing to remember is to ditch the guilt," he says. "Guilt serves no useful purpose; it's wasted energy. Get over it and move on!"
Angela Ginn, also a registered dietitian and AND spokeswoman, concurs. "Don't beat yourself up," she says. "Just get back on track — and remember that weekend splurges add up over time. The key is to know your limits and start over with healthy eating habits."
Here's your three-step plan to getting right back on track TODAY … for the rest of the summer:
1. Toss any extra junk food, says White. Leftover chips and dip? In the garbage. Red, white and blue cupcakes? Bring 'em to work and leave them in the break room. Don't keep treats around in the name of not wasting food.
2. Plan to eat smart for at least the rest of this week. "You will be surprised at how good you feel once you start eating healthy again," says Ginn. "You don't have to go super strict because you don't want to feel deprived. Retrain your taste buds to crave the healthy foods."
Where to begin? "You want to avoid processed food," says White. "Try to eliminate sodium and eat lots of veggies. Avoid white food — eat whole grain carbs only."
3. Get some exercise! Ginn recommends adding an extra 10-15 minutes to your normal workout regimen. "Just be careful," says White, "because you don't want to over-train and burn out."
Now, summer is just getting started, so when it comes to the next holiday (or even next weekend!), here are some tips to keep in mind ahead of time to avoid falling into the same trap:
- Make a plan and stick to it. "Plan out your splurge and look forward to it," says White. "Don't have an all-or-nothing mentality. That's a recipe for failure." A couple of White's pre-game tricks: eat a healthy snack before you go so you're not too tempted by fattening apps and desserts, and wear something tight or extra cute that you want to stay looking extra cute in!
- Stay active during the holiday. "Go swimming, play volleyball at the beach or add a bike tour or walking tour," says Ginn.
- BYO healthy food! "Bring an extra platter of veggies to the cookout," says Ginn — you can enjoy those to your heart's content. When it comes to meals, she says, avoid seconds and fill half your plate with veggies and fruit. The other half should be divided between your favorite starch (like pasta or potato salad) and grilled lean meat, like chicken, fish or seafood.
- Drink up — water, that is! Water fills you up and also helps you not go overboard with booze, says White. Ginn recommends sticking to two alcoholic drinks max per outing — try skinny cocktails that are mixed with calorie-free beverages.

Flood Mitigation, Stream Restoration, Wetland Creation and Greenway Trail
Little Sugar Creek now meanders through open space between Princeton Avenue and Brandywine, with a greenway nestled along the stream's path. But it wasn't always so picturesque. Homes in that area used to flood repeatedly. Storm water runoff carried pollutants directly to the creek.
The Westfield Road project involved floodplain buyouts, stream and water quality enhancement projects and a one-mile greenway trail. Flood-prone homes were replaced with open space and wetlands designed to filter contaminants from storm water runoff.
Completed: 2004
Cost: $14,463,667
Floodplain buyout cost: $12.03 million
Sources of funding to buy property:
Federal and State grants: $6,941,325
Storm Water Services fees: $5,088,311
Stream and floodplain restoration cost: $2.43 million
Sources of funding for water quality improvements:
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services: $1,628,031
NC Department of Water Quality: $406,000
NC Clean Water Management Trust Fund: $400,000
Costs shown do not include $531,349 spent by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation on the greenway trail.

One of the top highlights for any family is Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve. Every guide book says this – but I will share my personal experience there.
The bay IS as beautiful as that picture. It is an inactive volcanic crater, and is a state park that is preserved very well in part by limiting the number of daily visitors. The nature preserve's website says it opens at 6AM – Once the parking lot fills up, drivers are turned away. Don't come after 8:30 AM and expect to get in.
Just look at the crowds at 8:20 AM. Why the line? You need to watch a film about conservation before entering the beach. Since this is a top snorkeling destination, there are instructions about not touching the fish, or walking on the coral. After the film, you walk down a steep hill to the beach. Beautiful view on the way down – you can actually see the coral beds the water is so clear.
Once you hit the sand, you can rent snorkeling gear and get a locker if need be. There is not much shade on this beach, so if possible bring an umbrella.
In addition to getting there EARLY, bring snacks…. there is no food on the bay. There is a snack shack up near the entrance, but you won't want to hike back up that steep, long hill in the heat, for a mere pineapple slush. The bathrooms are also up the hill. For these two reasons, Hanauma Bay makes for a good half day outing.
The beach itself is feels very safe - The water is calm and clear…
I was impressed with the lifeguard attention on this small quaint bay. Still, don't get too relaxed – always keep an eye on your kids when they are snorkeling. If you can, practice snorkeling with them in a pool first. It's a shallow bay – the coral is only about two feet below water level, so you are really close to the fish and large reefs when you snorkel …which can be a little nerve wracking for young kids.
The marine life is great, there are some truly gorgeous fish. But on the day I was there, there were not nearly as many fish as in the film you watch.
The bay is known for the abundant green sea turtles, but my biggest disappointment was not seeing one. I get the sense visibility must vary day to day. Another benefit to getting there early is that you can snorkel before all the sand is kicked up making the water murky.
If you have little ones who aren't confident swimming with snorkel gear, bring your own kids' sized mask. And bring your own "noodle" to help them float. You can rent life vests, but my kids found them uncomfortable and cumbersome.
The park is closed on Tuesdays…unless you are President Obama -there are reports he and his family snorkeled here on a Tuesday during his Christmas break.
There is a $7.50 admission fee for adults over 13, and a $1 fee to park. If you are staying at a hotel in Waikiki, and don't have a car, there is a bus that runs to Hanauma. But, although Hanauma Bay is only 10 miles from Waikiki, it can be an hour or more trip by bus.
This may be one of the prettiest beaches in America. I am so ready for summer. Have you booked your family vacation? http://www1.honolulu.gov/parks/facility/hanaumabay/

Wall Street Journal columnist Raymond Sokolov took a $15 piece of North Atlantic bluefin tuna sashimi home from Bar Masa to compare it to more pedestrian fish. "In my perfectly pleasant kitchen at home, eating that piece of smuggled Masa tuna was a bit of a comedown, like watching an opera on TV," wrote Sokolov, who found Masa to be superior to "anonymous tuna sashimi" from the local market and "the chunk of supermarket yellowfin meant for grilling." We salute Sokolov for flirting with danger in the name of investigative reporting.

Objective: The authors examined the impact of co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on women with borderline personality disorder who had attempted suicide in the preceding year. Method: Female borderline personality disorder outpatients (N=94) either with (N=53, 56.4%) or without PTSD (N=41, 43.6%) and with recent and repeated suicidal or self-injurious behavior were compared in nine areas of functioning. Results: Borderline personality disorder patients with and without PTSD differed in the lethality, intent, and triggers for intentional self-injury, trauma history, emotion regulation, and axis I comorbidity. The two groups did not differ in borderline personality disorder severity, axis II comorbidity, psychosocial functioning, or mental health or medical treatment utilization. Conclusions: The results indicate greater impairment among individuals with both disorders and suggest that there are some unique features associated with co-occurring borderline personality disorder and PTSD that require further attention in assessment and treatment.

While we all love our furry, feathered and scaly friends, many of us may not be aware of all it takes to properly care for a pet. Improper care affects the animal, but it can also lead to serious legal issues for the owner. To help current and potential pet owners learn proper pet care and local laws regarding animal care and treatment, Pets Ad Litem (PAL) has developed the Responsible Pet Ownership course.
This course is the first of its kind in the state of Florida because it can be taken by animal code violators in lieu of fine payment for certain civil infractions. Tallahassee City Commissioners authorized the establishment of an education program of this type during recent revisions to the animal code. The revisions aimed to raise the standard of care for pets in our community.
"Our enforcement philosophy is to educate first and to take progressive action as needed to resolve issues," Animal Control Supervisor Jeff Doyle said. "Our hope is that offenders that successfully complete this course will become more responsible pet owners in the future."
The free course is open to the public. It will take place on Saturday, January 8, from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. at the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs Administration Building, 912 Myers Park Drive. The course will cover a wide variety of topics including, but not limited to, veterinary care, traveling safely with your pet, shelter, nutrition and tethering. Upon completion, participants will receive a certificate.
PAL is an alliance of advocates and professionals providing a legal voice for animals. PAL volunteers provide support to the ASC by volunteering at the facility, creating educational materials and assisting the City with legal issues related to animals. For more information on PAL, visit PetsAdLitem.com.
The Animal Service Center is operated and maintained by the City of Tallahassee Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Affairs Department. For more information on its services and for all the local ordinances pertaining to animals, please visit Talgov.com/Animals.

We understand that people and events in your life have had a great influence in the bad decisions you became accustomed to making. Discovering what contributors were present in your past lifestyle is a key to living a future life of sobriety.
Recovering from addiction doesn't end with stopping the usage of drugs or alcohol, rather that's where it has to begin in order for the rest of the recovery process to be effective.

"I've seen my friends elsewhere go from treatment directly into a sober living facility and have seen that result in many relapsing within their first year of sobriety, but Access to Recovery, has no halfway house, keeps you grounded in 12-step recovery, and the friends I've got to know there so well live in a very safe environment, one of the Real Life Recovery houses."

Medical Tourism: Approach with Vigilance
Dr. Daniel Kaufman--Brooklyn, N.Y. Thursday, March 14, 2013
Medical tourism is marketed on the basis that health care can be off-shored much like the production of computers and cell phones or the provision of professional services such as bookkeeping and accounting. Good surgical care, however, involves more than just the technical act of surgery itself. It requires extensive and careful preoperative consultation, deliberate formulation of reasonable treatment plans, and implementation of proper postoperative care. Read more

'Rango' Smokes the Box Office — And For Some, That's a Problem
The movie "Rango" was the top earner at the box office over the weekend, raking in $38 million. It also earned generally good reviews — but not from anti-tobacco groups.
In a statement today, the American Legacy Foundation (known as Legacy), the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and the American Academy of Pediatrics criticized the presence of tobacco in the PG-rated animated film. (TheWrap wrote about this controversy before the movie came out.)
The groups repeated their call for an automatic R-rating for movies that include tobacco use. "It is a mystery why Hollywood's masters of storytelling and visual effects have not found a better way to depict their characters without the danger of influencing young people to light up," Legacy's president and CEO, Cheryl Healton, said in the statement.

Public safety agencies in Texas have recently upgraded their Spillman Technologies software. The system upgrades were provided by Spillman at no additional costs.
The Lamb County Sheriff's Office plans to go live with its new Spillman system in May. After searching for a new software vendor for three years, the agency was impressed by Spillman's dedication to free enhancements, says Scott Say, Lamb County Sheriff's Office project manager and IT director.
"Lamb County paid annual maintenance to our previous vendor for well over 20 years, only to discover that 'free upgrades included' was going to cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars more to move to a Windows-based platform," says Say. "Spillman customers don't have these unwelcome financial surprises and headaches."
The Lamb County Sheriff's Office purchased Spillman's Records Management, Mobile Communications, Computer-Aided Dispatch, Corrections Management, and Resource Management solutions in November. Spillman is also providing the sheriff's office with a two-way interface that will allow them to easily share data with the Lamb County courts system using software from New Dawn.
Another Texas agency, Midland County, has been receiving free Spillman software upgrades for more than 20 years. Recently, the county upgraded free-of-charge from Spillman version 4.6 to Spillman version 6.1, a major upgrade allowing personnel to quickly complete state-mandated jail standards reports and benefit from the enhanced features of Spillman's Commissary Management module.
"This upgrade will give us the opportunity to take advantage of the newest version of Spillman software which will be very beneficial to our officers," says Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter.
Every 12 to 18 months, Spillman releases an upgraded version of existing software, including new features and enhancements. Customers with annual maintenance agreements receive these upgrades at no charge, along with technical support to assist them through every step of the upgrade process.
Spillman Technologies is a public safety software provider headquartered in Salt Lake City, serving more than 800 police departments, sheriff's offices, communications centers, fire departments, and correctional facilities nationwide. Spillman specializes in integrated software solutions, including CAD, RMS, Mobile Data & Field Reporting, Mapping & GIS, Crime Analysis & CompStat, JMS, Fire, Data Sharing, and Personnel & Resources.
