The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit recently vacated a 2010 interpretation of federal wage and hour law in which the Department of Labor (DOL) had concluded that mortgage loan officers do not qualify for the "administrative exemption" under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). In Mortgage Bankers Association v. Harris, the court ruled that the DOL failed to follow the proper rulemaking procedures when it significantly reversed an earlier definitive interpretation of the law in an "agency flip-flop." The DOL had determined four years earlier that mortgage loan officers were properly classified as exempt from the overtime requirements of the FLSA.
The litigation started when the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) challenged the Wage and Hour Administrator's 2010 interpretation. The DOL's reversal from its 2006 interpretation led the court to conclude that the agency should have followed the statutorily required procedures for rulemaking contained in the federal Administrative Procedures Act (APA). These procedures include the publication of a proposed rule and an opportunity for public comment.
In its 2006 Opinion Letter, which responded to an opinion request from the MBA, the Wage and Hour Administrator had determined that mortgage loan officers generally fall within the FLSA's "administrative exemption," and are not eligible for overtime premium pay. In 2010, however, the Wage and Hour Administrator concluded that the typical duties performed by mortgage loan officers do not qualify for this exemption, meaning that they are entitled to overtime (unless they fall within another FLSA exemption).
The D.C. Circuit held that a definitive interpretation of a federal regulation is so closely intertwined with the regulation itself that a significant change in the interpretation is tantamount to a repeal or amendment of the regulation. Repeals or amendments of federal regulations require adherence to the APA. Consequently, when the Wage and Hour Administrator reversed its 2006 interpretation without following the APA's notice and comment procedures, it violated federal law. The D.C. Circuit rejected the DOL's argument that MBA members must show substantial and justifiable reliance on the earlier agency interpretation. Based on this reasoning, the court vacated the 2010 interpretation.
The practical impact of vacating the more recent interpretation is that the 2006 Opinion Letter once again becomes the DOL's definitive interpretation of the exempt status of mortgage loan officers. Under the 2006 interpretation, mortgage loan officers fell within the administrative exemption, based on the specific facts and circumstances submitted in the request for that Opinion Letter. The DOL noted particularly that the loan officers described in the request were not performing inside sales, but rather had as their primary duty collecting and analyzing a customer's financial information, advising the customer about the risks and benefits of various mortgage loan alternatives in light of their individual financial circumstances, and advising the customer about avenues to obtain a more advantageous loan program.
The loan officers also qualified for exempt status because their primary duties involved servicing the employer's business by marketing, servicing, and promoting financial products, as well as exercising discretion and independent judgment by assessing alternatives and making recommendations to the customer. Notably, the 2006 interpretation was limited to the loan officers specifically described in the request for the Opinion Letter.
Before employers rely on the 2006 interpretation, they should be aware that unanswered questions remain about how far the D.C. Circuit's ruling will extend. Initially, the government could petition the full D.C. Circuit for en banc review of the ruling and/or petition the U.S. Supreme Court for review. Further, although decisions of the D.C. Circuit often are recognized to carry significant precedential weight in the interpretation of federal regulations, the court itself noted that the principles it applied have not been followed universally. It remains to be seen what impact this decision will have on employers outside the D.C. Circuit's jurisdiction.
Finally, and perhaps most important, it remains to be seen what steps the DOL will take, including formal rulemaking on the question of mortgage loan officers. It seems clear from the 2010 interpretation that the DOL likely will determine that many mortgage loan officers still should be classified as non-exempt and paid overtime. The DOL reportedly is evaluating its options.

AUTHOR: sveback - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 13, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, March 13, 2013
This merchant was not shipped their original order due to the fact that certain pieces are still in the process of being cast and it was my decision to send them the full balance of their order in product that finally became available rather than have them wait another 6-8 months for the other pieces to arrive from England. Casting one piece of pottery costs $6K-$8K and requires a minimum production of 5,000 pieces being made - it takes time and money. As a small business person that was starting from scratch again, I asked every customer to please be patient while I worked through this process. At this point, I have done everything in my power to fulfill this customer's order - I hope he is happy with the product he has received and can one day understand that I truly did everything within my power to resolve this situation with him.
I chose daily to stay positive and not slander anyone who was slandering me when results were not happening in their time frame. It is always easy to judge the decisions someone else is supposed to make when you are not involved in the process. It simply is not like going to the store and picking up bottled water. Instead of walking away from the problem, I focused on finding a solution to bring every single person their order. I never walked away, regardless of my need to be quiet and put all of my attention on this. My request is that respect be granted for not quitting or walking away because the process was difficult and the end time unknown.

I mean really, what are the expectations for this tool? It has one purpose; easing the piston back into the caliper.For me,(while not being a "pro"[?whatever that means?] I am confident in my abilities to hang with guys that turn wrenches full-time) this is much easier and way more convenient when compared to the traditional C-clamp. Like others have mentioned - if you are applying so much torque that you break the metal T-handles (albeit not the best metal out there) then clearly there are other issues that should be addressed. Granted I'm not a "pro", but if when doing my brakes I felt that much resistance on this particular tool I would STOP and look for what is causing the problem.But what do I know? These "pros" went to HF to buy their "pro" tools to use in their "pro" environment - and upon the tool not holding up to their "pro" strength of trying to push a car part where it doesn't want to go willingly - they [pros] say the tool is junk and does not perform as expected . . . To restate my thesis; what ARE your expectations for this very simple tool?

Worked better than the C-clamp I've been using like forever, at least on my Focus brakes. So I'm happy enough. However, I can understand why folks might want a slightly larger T-handle, at least for comforts sake. But not for added leverage! If your pistons aren't easily compressing with this, just the way it is, I'd say you have other issues with the pistons that need addressing before you put your new brake pads in.I can also see why some were frustrated with the jamb-nut arrangement for the T-handle. I got one side done just fine, but the handle came loose while doing the other side. I would suggest only compressing the piston until it's compressed enough. NOT compressing it until the piston is all the way seated and the tool stops working. OR...understand what you need to do to make a jamb-nut arrangement work. For me that meant backing the T-handle off a bit so I could get a wrench on the jamb-nut and vice-grip pliers on the T-handle. From there you just "jamb" the two together as tight as you can. But I agree that the handle should either be welded in place or maybe machined into the end of the threaded rod.I'd also like to see a better executed faceplate. Maybe a bit thicker with more threaded surface area would make it seem like a better quality piece?

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Tool does what it does superbly well. I've done the C-clamp and Visegrip routine before and felt they worked great to compress the brake piston before installing the new pads--but this tool made the others look like blunt instruments. Exquisitely simple in design and elegantly effective in use.

O'Driscoll, along with centre partner Luke Marshall, was concussed during last weekend's 13-13 draw with France, but both players have been passed fit for the trip to Rome on Saturday.
Jonathan Sexton was restored at fly-half having missed the last two matches against Scotland and France with a hamstring problem - but he was subsequently ruled out after having an injury he had picked up in training examined.
"A scan has confirmed that he has torn a tendon in his left foot and is therefore ruled out this weekend," read an Irish Rugby Football Union statement.
Paddy Jackson, who deputised in Sexton's absence, therefore retains his place while Ian Madigan has been restored to the bench.
Craig Gilroy returns on the right wing after overcoming a groin strain, replacing rib-fracture victim Fergus McFadden.
The pack is unchanged from the eight that started against France with lock Donnacha Ryan being given a clean bill of health after taking a bang on his shoulder at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
Substitute scrum-half Eoin Reddan fractured his leg against France, so uncapped Ulsterman Paul Marshall wins a spot on the bench that includes Devin Toner.
Openside flanker Simone Favaro has returned to the starting line-up in one of three changes for Italy.
Coach Jacques Brunel also brought in Lorenzo Cittadini in place of injured prop Martin Castrogiovanni and loosehead Andrea Lo Cicero will collect a record 103rd cap after replacing Alberto De Marchi.
Italy, who lost 18-11 to England at Twickenham on Sunday, are fifth in the table and hope to both avoid the wooden spoon by beating fourth-placed Ireland for the first time in the Six Nations.
Favaro takes the place of Robert Barbieri, who picked up a knock at Twickenham, and Castrogiovanni is still recovering from the muscle strain which forced him off during the England game.

Mission Statement:
small, interactive, open group
Community Description:
Hopefully Little White Pines will become a small community of singles and families of differing ages that welcomes children and nonhuman companions such as cats and dogs. it would be made up of people from differing backgrounds who are accepting and sympathetic to each other; a community that allows its members to pursue their own interests and goals with the support and assistance of the community.
Self-sufficiency, exploring the use of alternative power and building methods and learning the principles of permaculture to live lightly on the land would be one of the goals.
Core values would be a respect for the earth and nature; a respect for each other; an open-mindedness to other opinions and outlooks; an interest in helping each other in the community and contributing to the outside community with a sense of wonder and fun.
There would be a balance of individual privacy and solitude, as needed, with the opportunity to share in work and play with fellow members and friends nearby.
All members, as they are able (whether they are young, disabled, or elderly), would participate in decision-making and in participating in the running of the community.
There are a number of possible home sites and there are rooms in the main house while building. A separate new apartment is in the above ground basement of the house where i. a retired Montessori teacher, live.
Further and more specific plans will be made by a core group as it forms, so there is quite a bit of flexibility in how the community will operate based on core member input. There are possibilities for community or individual businesses that would not conflict with protecting the land and our individual privacy. A childcare center or nature center are only two possibilities. The community would remain small, in order to preserve and protect the woodlands and it's wildlife.
A core group will form beginning with emailing to find interested people. If you think you may want to help in starting this community, please introduce yourself by email. Questions and feedback are very welcome. constructive input is always appreciated. please read all information here first and hopefully we can start a mutually helpful dialog.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
The Carnival representative I spoke to in the port just gave me a form to fill out and said me she couldn't do anything more for me. She told me to call the 800 number on the form to file a claim with the insurance company. I did purchase the optional travel insurance, however it turns out it only covers up to $1,500 (my suitcase alone was $200) and that's if you have receipts for all your belongings. If not then they only give you up to 80% and make you file a claim with your homeowners or a secondary insurance to cover the rest. This insurance would be fine if you had cheap cloths or lost a small bag. I lost a large luggage bag that had my entire week's worth of cloths.
After contacting Carnival they informed me that it was not their fault, nor their responsibility my luggage was lost. They told me to deal with the insurance company and that they were done dealing with me. Its shocking and unacceptable the lack of responsible Carnival has for their passengers luggage, especially when Carnival is encouraging passengers to put their luggage out the night before. The passenger is intrusting their personal property with Carnival and for that twenty-four hour period Carnival is responsible. Furthermore, there is a bigger issue here and that is the absence of security by Carnival within the port.
This was my fifth cruise and will be my last on Carnival. My next cruise I will walk my bags off the ship and not trust a cruise line with them.

Later I spoke with a coach who talked me into investing $1495.00 in their Platinum Program to help boost my sales and they would give me 5 Independent Advertisers attached to me with overrides and they will also guarantee 12,000 hits to my website in 12 months. I was then directed to another phase of the business that would build me a splash website with my own url and web name that links back to the original website they provided. I spent an additional $700.00 for the splash website and another $95.00 to get a .biz name that was easier than the one given. They also guaranteed me an additional 15,000 hits to my website in 12 months and 5 more IA's. By August, I still only had less than 4000 hits to my website.
I did sell approx. 23 bottles of the vitamins but received no money from them. Now the company has flopped and I am out of approx. $3000.00 plus time and money spent on advertisements. I need to know how I can get my money back.

To the Editor.—
In "Recurrent Severe Facial Perspiration and Redness" (239:2701, 1978), I believe the answer given to the question was incorrect.This patient has gustatory sweating, also called Frey's syndrome. The patient perspires profusely in the region innervated by the auriculotemporal nerve. Usually, no treatment is needed unless symptoms are severe. If symptoms are severe, it may then help to resect the tympanic plexus in the middle ear, since it is through this pathway that parasympathetic motor fibers from the petrosal ganglion reach the otic ganglion and finally the auriculotemporal branch of the mandibular nerve.

"Cherbourg" Top 5 Page for this destination Cherbourg by darkjedi
Cherbourg Travel Guide: 86 reviews and 240 photos
Cherbourg-Octeville is a town and commune in Normandy, north-west France. It was formed when the city of Cherbourg absorbed Octeville on February 28, 2000, and was officially renamed Cherbourg-Octeville.
The combined population of Cherbourg and Octeville at the 1999 census was 42,318 inhabitants.
Cherbourg was the first stop of RMS Titanic after it left Southampton, England. On 19 June 1864, the naval engagement between USS Kearsarge and CSS Alabama took place off Cherbourg. The Battle of Cherbourg, fought in June 1944 following the Normandy Invasion, ended with the capture of Cherbourg on June 30.

Hi Mark, I indeed only heard of Cherbourg because of the Titanic and it was interesting to read about the town. Some very good tips here, I especially like that weird big statue, it would be interesting to know what it means!
It reminds me of the "Bean" at home in Chicago.

March 2016
Judge Messitte recently authored an article entitled "An Institute for Legal & Judicial Studies at Washington College of Law" that appeared in the March 2016 issue of Justica e Cidadania. An English translation of the article may be viewed here.
January 2016
During the week of January 11, 2016, Judge Messitte visited Brasília and São Paulo on behalf of the Program. He had discussions with the new Director General of the Escola Nacional Para o Aperfeiçoamento da Magistratura (ENFAM), Minister Humberto Martins of the Superior Court of Justice, as well as ENFAM's new Secretary General, Desembargador Fernando Cerqueira, about ENFAM signing an accord with WCL's Brazil-U.S. Legal & Judicial Studies Program. Judge Messitte also met with Fabricio Bittencourt, Secretary General of the Conselho Nacional de Justica (CNJ); with Luis Inácio Adams, Procurator General of the Union, and with the President of the Federal Council of the Ordem dos Advogados (OAB), Marcus Vinicius Furtado Coêlho. All the meetings explored the possibility of the various entities these individuals were in charge of entering into Agreements with WCL. Richa Bhala of U.S. Embassy/Brasília was especially helpful in facilitating these meetings.
In São Paulo, Judge Messitte met with Jayme de Oliveira, President of the Associação Paulista dos Magistrados (APAMAGIS), an organization with approximately 3,000 São Paulo Judges as members. On behalf of APAMAGIS, Dr Jayme then signed an Agreement with WCL, which Judge Messitte subsequently delivered to WCL Dean Claudio Grossman.
Judge Messitte also had lunch with several members of the Tribunal de Justica (State Supreme Court) of São Paulo, and was later received in Chambers by the Vice-President of the Tribunal, Ademir Benedito, and members of the Court leadership.
While in São Paulo Judge Messitte taped a speech on the Role of Precedents in the U.S. for the Escola Paulista dos Magistrados. During all of these activities, there were discussions about the organizations reaching accords with WCL. Judge Marcus Onodera of EPM was very helpful in coordinating the events in São Paulo.
August 20-21, 2015
On August 20-21, Minister-President Francisco Falcao of the Superior Tribunal of Justice came to Washington and Judge Messitte helped arrange his schedule.
On August 20, Judge Messitte accompanied President Falcao on visits to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts and the Federal Judicial Center. They then had lunch with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and Brazilian Ambassador Luiz Alberto Figueiredo Machado, after which Justice Kennedy invited President Falcao and the group back to his Chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court where he led a personal tour of the Court. At the end of the day, President Falcao and the group visited the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
On the morning of August 21, President Falcao visited Judge Messitte's Chambers at the U.S. Courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he attended a breakfast reception in his honor, listened to presentations by Judges, a Prosecutor and Public Defender and a Representative of the U.S. Probation Office, followed by a tour of the Courthouse.
President Falcao and Judge Messitte then participated at a luncheon in his honor at the Washington College of Law hosted by Dean Claudio Grossman. A number of WCL faculty and staff attended, as did several prominent outside guests, including Dr. Russell Wheeler (federal justice expert at the Brookings Institute); Paulo Sotero (Director of the Brazil Institute of the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars) and Michael McCullough (Executive Director of the American Bar Association's Rule of Law Initiative for Latin America and the Caribbean).
May 2015
The May issue of Justiça e Cidadania, Brazil's leading law journal, features a cover story on the March-April Seminar on Legal Protection for Financial Investments in Brazil held at WCL, entitled "O Brasil Vai a Washington College of Law" ("Brazil Goes to Washington College of Law") (available here in Portuguese).
The same issue contains an article on Administrative Law in the U.S. written by Judge Messitte that was the basis of his speech to the Judges School of the Federal Regional Tribunal for the Fourth Region in Porto Alegre in September of last year (available here in Portuguese).
Generous Gift Supports Future of Brazil-U.S. Program
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2015 – American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL) is pleased to announce a generous gift commitment from Antonio Augusto de Souza Coelho, a distinguished Brazilian lawyer who is the chief legal officer of Advocacia Gonçalves Coelho, a law firm based in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Coelho's gift is designed to support the law school's Brazil-U.S. Legal and Judicial Studies Program, a comparative law initiative dedicated to promoting understanding and exchanges between Brazilian and American judges and lawyers concerning their respective judicial and legal systems.
"It is a great honor to contribute to the study of comparative law between Brazil and the United States," said Coelho. In 2012, Coelho received the Don Quixote of La Mancha award, which is given to individuals to honor their struggle in the defense of justice, ethics, morals, and citizenship rights by the Brazilian judiciary.
Since its inception in fall 2012, the Brazil-U.S. Program has welcomed more than 200 lawyers and judges to programs at AUWCL where they exchanged experiences in matters as diverse as criminal and civil justice, mediation, and social security law. Over the past two days the Brazil-U.S. Program hosted the First Symposium on Legal Protection for Financial Institutions in Brazil, co-sponsored by Justiça e Cidadania Institute. This seminar was attended by more than 20 Brazilian judges, including four members of the Superior Tribunal of Justice, the second highest court of Brazil.
"This gift meets the very important need of facilitating the dialogue about law and justice between two of the most important countries of the Western Hemisphere," said Peter J. Messitte, director of the Brazil-U.S. Program and U.S. District Judge for the U.S District Court, District of Maryland.
"This is a unique program in law schools in the United States," said American University Washington College of Law Dean Claudio Grossman. "The Brazil-U.S. Program further develops the vision of our law school to promote human dignity based on a common understanding of the rule of law."
American University Washington College of Law is renowned for its dedication to global education through a wide variety of opportunities, including summer programs, semesters abroad, dual JD programs, LL.M. programs and an SJD program. AUWCL offers specializations in areas such as intellectual property, international commercial arbitration, environmental law, and human rights and humanitarian law to respond to today's global challenges by engaging the world through advocacy, outreach, and scholarship.
Through this generous gift, the Brazil-U.S. Program will have a dedicated presence at the law school's new Tenley Campus. Learn more about the Brazil-U.S. Program, international programs at AUWCL, and about the new Tenley Campus, set to open in January 2016.

In May, 2013 O Estado de S. Paulo, one of Brazil's most respected newspapers, published an extensive interview with Judge Messitte in which he discussed issues with respect to age for criminal responsibility in the U.S. The article can be found here.

Shure SE315 Very Under Rated and over looked
Pros: Built Like A Tank, Overall Sound Is Great
Cons: Memory plastic over ear can be uncomfortable, Cable is a little stiff
This is a review for the Shure SE315's, first a little about myself I don't consider myself a hard core audiophile like most people on this site. I am 38 years old and I am just your everyday listener who appreciates quality sound. I have been into Hi-Fi audio since I was a teenager mostly full size speakers. What do I consider an audiophile, someone who pulls those ear buds out that came with your phone or ipod or mp3 player, someone who takes the time to download there music in a lossless format, someone who reads a ton of reviews of the sound quality before they buy it.

I heard some of this when i was waking up and then fleshed it out.
Entry posted by Tracker ·
415 views
I heard part of this during the transition between sleeping dream and reality, the rest I came up with immediately afterwards. The "heard" part is in curly brackets. See if you can figure out the story. Keep in mind the group I hang out with outside of RRU.
V1 (spoken)
{There's a reason I no longer (originally, "no longer" was "never liked," but looking over the rest of it suggests that going back may make the whole thing make sense) going out with you} There is a reason {we never got that far.} When we first met I thought we were a perfect match, but then I saw you -- change.
Chorus (sung)
{You're the reason} Your selfish ways your bad decisions your foul mouth your malicious intentions you're the reason we never truly went out.
V2 (spoken with two voices)
"Watch this" you said "I'll show you what we are all about" Then you killed a man, then you ate a cat, then munched a dog, then you swallowed a bat. That day my heart was broken, not for a lack of love towards me, but to my neighbor [Chorus]
Bridge (Am I using the right terms here? Anyways, the first bit (ends at the comma) is slightly sung to go with the chorus while the second part is sung fully)
I thought you could be saved. I thought becoming one of your own would bring you home. But I see now,
your eyes are glazed you only think with your head your heart is cold your soul is dead
V3 (spoken)
You make us look bad. I told you to stop but you didn't listen I asked you to confess but you just licked the blood off your hands [Chorus then Bridge]
V4 (spoken)
I can't take this anymore. I'm leaving you now. I'd curse you on behalf of the brother you killed, but I don't need to, God is already planning something. I can feel it. I should have never dated a werewolf.

"You've made it so stress-free to design beautiful invites. From picking the colors & design to having someone proofread for errors to super fast delivery. The quality of the product was excellent. We've already received compliments on the invites from friends & family."
"I was under a time crunch, so I literally just used one of the templates available, I would normally change things, colors, etc. but did not have time. My order came quickly, and I was completely satisfied with the quality and design of my invitation. Very easy and effortless process!"
"For this particular invitation I needed a lot of the wording changed to fit my particular event. The designers edited the invitation exactly how I asked and it turned out perfectly!! After submitting my final approval I was surprised at how fast I received the invitations! Everything was perfect. This is the second time I've used this company for invites and I highly recommend them to help make any occasion extra special!"
"I am glad I read the reviews because the pearlized paper gave the gold and silver printing a beautiful luminous glow. It did say that in small print, but people sometime miss the small print. For those who said a particular product was too small, I also recommend drawing it to scale on a piece of paper so there are no surprises. This invite, at 6-1/8" x 4-1/2", is perfect. Very impressed with the product."
"This came out exactly how I pictured it. The website is user friendly and the layouts are easy to manipulate, even for someone that isn't too computer savvy. Thank you!"

Debbie Stabenow on Principles & Values
Democratic Jr Senator; previously Representative (MI-8)
These seven members are: Democrats Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, Gwen Moore of Wisconsin, John Conyers Jr. of Michigan and Gregory W. Meeks of New York, and Republicans Rick Crawford of Arkansas, Duncan Hunter of California and Louie Gohmert of Texas. These members do not have enough liabilities to drop into the 10 poorest, but their net worths range from -$15,000 (Sinema) to -$610,000 (Gohmert).
Democrat Debbie Stabenow of Michigan is the poorest member of the Senate, with a net worth of -$585,000. Fellow Democrat Mark Pryor of Arkansas is the senator with the smallest amount of assets; he has a bank account worth $1,000 to $15,000 and one for his children worth less than $1,000.
Stabenow had accepted debate invitations at the Detroit Economic Club and Grand Valley State University, which have held U.S. Senate debates in recent Michigan election cycles. Hoekstra said he wanted debates with more exposure. Neither campaign had accepted the same debate offer, leaving the two campaigns without agreement as the Nov. 6 election approaches. Each campaign has blamed the other for the impasse.
Earlier this week, the Stabenow campaign had said Hoekstra was playing games with the debate issue and that his "antics certainly don't reflect that of someone who actually wants to hold debates."
The ad is for Stabenow's rival, former congressman and current Senatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra. Hoekstra visited America Live Monday afternoon to address claims that his ad is inappropriate and plays on racially-charged stereotypes that, as one group put it, "encourage anti-Asian sentiment."
"The only group of people that this ad is anti" Hoekstra said, "it's anti-Debbie Stabenow, it's anti-Barack Obama, the spending policies of the liberal left."
"In the past month, many Senators have asked me about my judicial philosophy. It is simple: fidelity to the law. The task of a judge is not to make the law--it is to apply the law. And it is clear, I believe, that my record in two courts reflects my rigorous commitment to interpreting the Constitution according to its terms; interpreting statutes according to their terms and Congress's intent; and hewing faithfully to precedents established by the Supreme Court and my Circuit Court. In each case I have heard, I have applied the law to the facts at hand."

Such factors as religious service attendance, belief, practice, familiarity with doctrine, belief in certain creeds, etc., may be important to sociologists, religious leaders, and others. But these are measures of religiosity and are usually not used academically to define a person's membership in a particular religion. It is important to recognize there are various levels of adherence, or membership within religious traditions or religious bodies. There's no single definition, and sources of adherent statistics do not always make it clear what definition they are using.
As New Democrats, we believe in a Third Way that rejects the old left-right debate and affirms America's basic bargain: opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and community of all.
America and the world have changed dramatically in the closing decades of the 20th century. The industrial order of the 20th century is rapidly yielding to the networked "New Economy" of the 21st century. Our political and governing systems, however, have lagged behind the rest of society in adapting to these seismic shifts. They remain stuck in the left-right debates and the top-down bureaucracies of the industrial past.
The Democratic Leadership Council, and its affiliated think tank the Progressive Policy Institute, have been catalysts for modernizing politics and government. The core principles and ideas of this "Third Way" movement [began with] Bill Clinton's Presidential campaign in 1992, Tony Blair's Labour Party in Britain in 1997, and Gerhard Shroeder's Social Democrats in Germany in 1998.
The Senate New Democrat Coalition (SNDC) [is analogous to] the New Democrat Coalition (NDC) in the House. Members of both groups are moderate Democrats who advocate a new centrist, progressive approach to governing and who often reach across party lines to get things done.
Established in 1997, the House New Democrat Coalition (NDC) grew to 64 members between 1998 and 2000, making it the largest caucus in the House. With the success of NDN's top House candidates on Election Day, the NDC has grown to 72 members in the 107th Congress. The Senate New Democrat Coalition (SNDC), established in 2000, is already 20 members.
In announcing the establishment of the SNDC in February 2000, Sen. Landrieu stated, "The American people are tired of the same old proposals and are demanding that we work together in a more creative way on the many problems facing our nation. Too often here in Washington, the loudest voices are the ones on the far left and far right. That is why this group was formed, to give voice to those in the sensible center." The SNDC has already made its voice heard on critical issues ranging from education to trade to health care and, with the Senate evenly divided, the Senate New Dems are increasingly determining the balance of power.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 AU scores as follows:
Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom. AU is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
Americans United is a national organization with members in all 50 states. We are headquartered in Washington, D.C., and led by the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director. AU has more than 75,000 members from all over the country. They include people from all walks of life and from various faith communities, as well as those who profess no particular faith. We are funded by donations from our members and others who support church-state separation. We do not seek, nor would we accept, government funding.
Since its inception, the DLC has championed policies from spurring private sector economic growth, fiscal discipline and community policing to work based welfare reform, expanded international trade, and national service. Throughout the 90's, innovative, New Democrat policies implemented by former DLC Chairman President Bill Clinton have helped produce the longest period of sustained economic growth in our history, the lowest unemployment in a generation, 22 million new jobs, cut the welfare rolls in half, reduced the crime rate for seven straight years, balanced the budget and streamlined the federal bureaucracy to its smallest size since the Kennedy administration.
Now, the DLC is promoting new ideas -- such as a second generation of environmental protection and new economy and technology development strategies -- that is distinctly different from traditional liberalism and conservatism to build the next generation of America's leaders.
Scoring system for 2014: Ranges from 0% (supports separation of church & state) to 100% (opposed to separation of church & state).

Now mind you I don't even have a way to process credit cards through their company. When I called the corporate headquarters to get assistance of course I was then told I signed the contract so basically I was stuck. A three year contract no less. I was misled, misinformed, and above all lied to. I would not even agree to meet with a sales rep from this company and if they called me I would hang up on them. I won't be surprised when they are run out of town from running a dishonest business. I am waiting for my sales rep to call me back as I am sure he will not knowing I am on to him. If the call does not come I will obliterate the internet with his name and business practices. Stay away from them unless you want to be roped in and hog tied.

Kerr, who could have had the outright lead but for a bogey at the 18th, is joined by Inbee Park, who carded a five-under 65 to tie for the lead after the second round at the Royal Mayfair Golf Club.
"It's a course where you have to really shape the ball off the tee and be creative," said American Kerr, who won the tournament in 2006.
"I played very well the last couple of days. It's unfortunate I bogeyed the last hole today but that's what happens when you hit an errant shot and have to chip out to a difficult pin.
World number one Park, playing alongside Kerr, followed her opening round five birdies with seven on day two to join Kerr at the top of the leaderboard.
"I worked on a couple of things after [the Women's Open] because I wasn't hitting it my best," said the South Korean, who had the chance to become the first golfer to win all four majors in a tournament year at St Andrews.
"On the greens I was really comfortable because they're so pure wherever you hit it, it's just going to go right there."
Frenchwoman Karine Icher hit a four-under 66 to sit one shot off the pace in third alongside American Angela Stanford, while teenage defending champion Lydia Ko (tied for the lead overnight) is another shot back after a round of 69.
The New Zealand 16-year-old is joined by Laura Davies and Paula Creamer in fifth while England's 17-year-old Charley Hull is a further shot adrift, alongside Kathleen Ekey, Stacy Prammanasudh and Hee Young Park, after a round of 66.
"I played pretty solid," said Hull, one of the stars of Europe's win over American at the Solheim Cup last weekend.
"I wasn't hitting that good today on the front nine with my tee shots because I felt a little tired out there. The back nine I got something going, holed a few putts and I'm pretty pleased with that."
World number two Stacy Lewis continued to struggle and recorded seven bogeys on her way to a four-over par round of 74 while fellow American Michelle Wie missed the cut with a six-over round of 76.

The most boring stock. It will surprize API investors one of these days when it dive down fast and easy.
Hey, Cash. How much money have you lost because you didn't buy API below a dollar? How much more money will you lose waiting for the price to go down?
I'm curious. Do you have money in the market, or are you an adolescent playing games? Why don't you go outside and do something meaningful such as throwing fisbees for your dog. If you are in the market, let us know where, and we will go over to those message boards and post a few gems.
