Faces of Food Safety: Dr. Nancy Atkins
Although the end of Dr. Nancy Atkins' career with the Food Safety and Inspection Service is closer in sight than the beginning of it, she says she still feels the same excitement today as she did when she started the job. And while the lure of retirement to Louisiana to land she owns there dangles over her like a tasty treat, it is her love for the agency that keeps her holding on. "I have the best job in the agency," she said. "I count myself very fortunate."
And it is FSIS that has been fortunate to have Atkins. Atkins is a District Veterinary Medical Specialist (DVMS). In this position, she spends her workday making sure that animals are handled and slaughtered in a humane way and making sure the facilities where she works adheres to Federal Law.
Atkins doesn't mince words. Her job is tough — but rewarding
While Atkins knows her work matters, she is the first to tell you that her job is not easy. "The hours are long and the travel is hard." She is on the road 75 to 85 percent of the time. Her day begins at 4:30 a.m., and after a quick workout, she's on the road or in the air. She covers 10 states, logging frequent miles to Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Alaska and Hawaii. The travel, she said, is both a matter of the job and a matter of the heart because she loves what she does.
She always knew she wanted to be a veterinarian.
Long before Atkins knew what the word veterinarian meant, she wanted to work with animals, she said. While earning a degree in anthropology at Mississippi State University, she learned that the school soon would offer a degree in veterinary medicine, so she just waited for the program to come. "I was just marking time until the vet school came. I just waited."
Her waiting paid off, and in 1982, she earned her degree and started work, tending mostly to small animals. A decade later, she came to FSIS, where she started work in Idaho as a Veterinary Medical Officer (VMO). After a 2-year stint there, she moved to Pennsylvania as a relief VMO, working for other veterinarians on leave. Shortly after, she accepted a supervisory position. In 2002, she was selected as a District Veterinary Medical Specialist (DVMS) for the Denver district, where she remains today.
Treating animals with respect
"Dr. Atkins is a humane handling specialist in her role as a DVMS," said Dr. David Thompson, Atkins' colleague. "It is federal law that plants treat animals in a humane manner and her current position requires her to verify that the plants she services are doing just that and using a step-by-step approach
"Be vigilant and diligent. Animals are giving up their lives for us and they should be treated with the greatest respect and kindness under these circumstances."
Dr. Nancy Atkins
so that all aspects of the process have the animal's welfare in mind. Her job is to make sure animals are handled with minimal excitement and without pain or injury." It is her job to observe plant employees while they are moving and handling the animals — and determine if the methods comply with federal law. "We are legally, morally and ethically obliged to handle animals as humanely as possible," she said of her important job.
When it comes to making sure animals are handled and slaughtered in a humane way, Atkins is highly regarded among her peers; they can depend on and learn from her. "They are on the front lines and their work is important," she said. Her view on the welfare of animals is more than a 9 to 5 job or a regulatory citation or agency directive; it comes from a deep place in her heart. Her personal inspiration comes from Dr. Temple Grandin, an outspoken advocate against the torture of animals. Grandin's advocacy helped shape animal welfare. And so has Atkins' advocacy at FSIS. If there is any lesson that she can pass along to others following in her footsteps, it is "to handle animals with care."
Looking forward to retirement
And while Atkins enjoys her job and is confident that plants around the country have made great strides in properly handling livestock, she said she is looking forward to the time when she can focus her attention on her own life. She said she plans to retire in the coming years. For those coming after her, she said she would tell them the same thing that she lives by: "Be vigilant and diligent. Animals are giving up their lives for us and they should be treated with the greatest respect and kindness under these circumstances."

Why do manufacturers make different lens colors? I'll tell you this—it isn't for style points. All the different lenses you see in masks? They all have a purpose. They all do something.
Most of the best players I know are pretty serious about goggle choice. From comfort to functionality and lens color. They end up acquiring as many lens tints as possible. The last thing they care about are style points. Style doesn't win matches.
What's the best lens tint? It depends on the situation.
Let's start with Mirrored Lenses:
They look cool, right? Sure. Everyone loves to see their reflection in your mask. Put them on during a dark day or an indoor game to look cool and you'll be screwed. Mirrored lenses are often the darkest. They block the most light. You likely won't need them until a really sunny day rolls around or if you want to play in the snow. That's actually the only time I use mine.
What about Clear Lenses?
Clear lenses are my everyday go-to lens. They can cover every situation effectively—mostly because they are clear. If you only have one set of lenses, you have to take this route. Clear lenses are perfect for 60-80% of the field conditions most players experience—they are really fine for everything except the most sunny days.
Smoke Lenses:
Smoke or gray-tint lenses is one of the first colors you should get after clear. They provide adequate sun protection will still giving you clear definition and true colors. The biggest benefit to smoke lenses is that they help keep you from squinting on sunny days. Don't use them inside though—I guess you can but you're not going to be able to see anything.
Amber or Orange Lenses:
Orange is, in my opinion, the most useful color to get if you're going to do anything after clear or smoke. Amerish/orange tint helps improve your ability to focus in dim conditions or when it is hazy outside. They also help improve your depth perception. It's about increasing the reds you see and limiting the colors that block your ability to focus. They also help improve your ability to see things move quickly.
You'll notice that a lot of professional marksmen use orange tint glasses in shooting competitions. There's a reason for it. They help improve focus.
The rest of the rainbow: Blue, Red, Green
You see these colors everywhere. Personally, I think they are pretty useless. Clear, Mirrored, Smoke and Orange/Amber lenses will cover everything you need. Green is good for blocking light on sunny days, but you already have mirrored for that. Red supposedly filters out light that improves sharpness—amber works the same but does it better. You don't see any marksmen with red lenses. Blue reduces glare, but—come'on they are blue. I think they look silly, and honestly, you're not going to find many practical situations where they are better than amber lenses for improving perception.
Which Ones Do You Buy?
Doesn't matter to me—we want you to buy them all obviously. If you're new to paintball, clear is the way to go. After that, get smoke for sunny days. Amber should be next if you want to see movement better and sharpen up your depth perception. Mirrored? Sure if you're going to be playing on really sunny days. Everything else? Buy it to look cool
Why haven't you subscribed on YouTube? You should also like us on Facebook. Remember to buy your lenses from our website. It's how everyone at Hustle Paintball buys food and pays for beer.

|Urge Caution When Using Back-Up Generators

Urge Caution When Using Back-Up Generators
During long-term power outages, many rely on portable generators for emergency power. The growing popularity of portable electric generators has resulted in millions being placed in homes and small businesses across the nation. But it's estimated only a small percentage are hooked up correctly. Safe Electricity urges consumers to understand the proper safety steps that must be taken.
If installed and operated correctly, use of standby or portable electric generators poses little danger. Improper installation or use could be dangerous to you and threaten the lives of your family, friends, neighbors and electric utility crews trying to restore service.
"Consult and discuss your purchase options with a reliable vendor, your electric supplier and contractors," advises Jay Solomon, University of Illinois Extension Engineering Educator. "A qualified vendor or electric professional will know existing safety codes and the utility's safety requirements, and can help you select the best equipment for your needs and situation."
Properly connecting the generator into the system is a critical step for safe and effective use. A licensed professional should install a permanent, standby electric generator and can help with proper equipment for safely using a portable generator.
Have a qualified electrician install a transfer switch. The transfer switch breaks the path of electricity between the power lines and your main electrical panel. This is the best way to protect you, your neighbors and repair crews from 'back feed.' Back feed occurs when an improperly connected generator begins feeding electricity "back" through the power lines. This can seriously injure anyone near lines, especially crews working to restore power.
"Safety for the operators and users of a generating system in the home and utility crews cannot be over-emphasized," says Solomon. "A qualified electrician should be consulted to ensure proper installation and electrical grounding requirements, circuit overload protections and local codes are met."
Some homeowners choose smaller, portable generators to power essential electrical equipment during outages. Safe Electricity offers these tips for the safe operation and use of portable generators:
Safe Electricity suggests that these safety guidelines and basic operating instructions be posted in the home and with the generator.

My Lament And My Grace
Alone on a hill
Just his voice and mine
I poured out my sadness
To my great Divine
I held out my dry hands
I gave God my wet eyes
I looked up to heaven
and let out my cries
"The stars, Lord, they shine
They're so easy to find
The whole world knows their place
But where, Lord, am I?
The kings, Lord, they laugh
The world follows their path
They speak, fools rejoice
But where, Lord, is my voice?
Lord, what is it worth
to love in this earth?
If no one can see
Your love burning in me?"
And there, on that hill
The Lord came to my side
He spoke in my heart
His words dried my eyes
"My child, don't love to be seen
Love, so you yourself can see
For whenever you love
You're looking at me"
And from that moment on
I've understood grace
for whenever I love
I now see God's face
Poem By Mick Mooney

Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H Review
SiSoft Sandra
Published: 13th September 2013 | Source: Gigabyte | Price: £146 |
SiSoft Sandra
Our AIDA64 results are replicated here with the UD4H's stock performance being decidedly average and yet it is like a beast unleashed when you overclock it, with some of the best results we've seen and, in the MultiMedia test, the best result we've seen on our i7-4770K.

TBH I had to get used to the red a bit. But the features just did fit my needs.
Leaves me to say (again) thanks for the review!Quote
I agree, the board looks very nice with the silver and candy apple red details.
If i were to build a Haswell platform right now this would certainly be one of the contenders. I also love that you point out that the board might not be the best choice for the peeps that are not overclocking. Good to get all the pros AND the cons.
On another note. Bloody in ...whats up with your language these days? I for one find it....a bit brute - Possibly even offending to some? No need for profanities imo.
My currency calculator says that the $110Cdn final cost was a mere £60.54. Try as I might I can't find much different between the two boards. They are feature-for-feature identical, save for two things: the red colour of the UD4H is blue on the UD3H, and the less expensive board has fewer power phases.
Since for me this is an upgrade from a 3-year-old GA-55H board, I'm quite happy with it.Quote

Travel with us through a Buffalo Niagara that might have been, if some of the most captivating artists' renderings created in recent years had actually come to life.
Start downtown outside the gleaming Adelphia office tower, where the thriving cable company has become a big employer. Traffic around here is thick, with people pouring into the Bass Pro store that revitalized old Memorial Auditorium. Some of the customers arrive by boat at the Inner Harbor.
Looming over downtown is a skyscraper built by respected developer Bashar Issa. The Outer Harbor is dominated by an enclosed amusement park, a massive convention center and residential community, and the Buffalo Bills' new stadium.
Head north on the Niagara Thruway and your eye is drawn to the striking new Peace Bridge, proof of cross-border cooperation. In Niagara County, new attractions abound, from the below-ground aquarium near the falls, to the Wizard of Oz theme park.
Of course, none of those projects was ever built. They burst onto the scene with a banner headline, a news conference suffused with big shots, a multimillion-dollar price tag, hyperventilating praise and, of course, a dazzling artist's rendering of the project.
Predictions of surefire economic transformation follow, despite doubts over who will pay for the thing, whether it will win approval, or is even realistic. Then, years later, nothing.
It became a running joke among a few of us skeptics that seeing an artist's rendering on the front page was the kiss of death for a project.
Developers came to town like snake-oil salesmen, peddling magic elixirs guaranteed to fix what ails our economy. Or we begged big companies to build a store here, and had a hard time letting go even when it was clear it was over.
Now this isn't a "woe-is-us" type of story. We finally have real progress – and tower cranes! – in places once only imagined in colorful drawings: Canalside. HarborCenter. The former Donovan State Office Building. The medical campus. Larkinville.
Still, we can't ignore our track record of getting caught up in these grandiose visions for revival, no matter how far-fetched the ideas might seem. What does it say about us as a region that we seemingly want to believe in them?
And do all these failed fanciful visions leave us unfairly skeptical about more realistic projects when they come along?
On the Webster block in Bizarro Buffalo, the Adelphia Communications tower and its 1,500 employees stand sentry over Adelphia Arena, home to the two-time, Stanley Cup champion Buffalo Sabres.
Of course, in this world, the Rigases never committed fraud with Adelphia, the company never went into bankruptcy and never had to sell the Sabres.
And there was no "Black Sunday" dismantling of the team's core. (This is a fantasy.)
Step over a block to the Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World Store, in a renovated Memorial Auditorium, where customers guide boats right up to the store and visitors come from hours away.
The store came together so quickly that it added a new term to the local vernacular: Building something without delay is now called "Bass Pro-ing."
Over by City Hall, if you strain, you can see to the top of Bashar Issa's City Tower, the tallest skyscraper in Buffalo. Issa's first name translates to "bringer of good news," and he sure brought welcome tidings.
The City Tower project complements his conversion of the Statler Towers into a convention hotel. We thanked him by electing him mayor of Buffalo.
In the lobby of its headquarters on Grand Island, Cannon Design has nine models showing the evolution of City Tower, which the international architectural firm designed for Issa.
Issa dreamed big: A $361 million, 40-story tower that would have been Buffalo's largest.
His excitement rubbed off on Cannon-istas, but the firm soon saw the writing on the wall.
"No, we never got a 'Dear John' letter," said Michael A. Mistriner, a Cannon principal, but after a while, Issa stopped immediately returning phone calls, and he began canceling meetings without explanation.
"You can't let 'em discourage you," he said. "You can't take it personally when it doesn't go. You'd go into a depression. So you have to take them in stride. And certainly hope that there's going to be more out there."
Mistriner pointed to the projects filling in the space on the waterfront, and to the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute, designed by Cannon, as examples of projects that were actually built.
Robert G. Shibley, dean of the University at Buffalo's School of Architecture and Planning, agrees the unbuilt projects opened up the possibilities for those spaces.
"On a site-by-site basis, what has been described as failure has been replaced with something better. Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince," Shibley said.
It's valuable to dream big, he added, even if those dreams often go unfulfilled. "God forbid we ever give up those aspirations," Shibley said.
Let's keep dreaming big on the Outer Harbor.
Bills fans flock to the new stadium, Bass Pro Field, on Sundays. No wonder, with quarterback EJ Manuel aiming to win a third Super Bowl title for his team. Under mastermind Doug Marrone, the Bills haven't lost to the Patriots in years.
Next door, Buffalo Lakefront LLC's project is thriving. The Talkin' Proud Convention Center and neighboring hotels helped secure Buffalo as the host for this year's Super Bowl.
And who can forget the E-Zone, the domed amusement park that jump-started everything? Yes, you really can snowboard here in the middle of July!
At the new Peace Bridge, common terns fly safely through their own version of a NEXUS lane, while cars pour into the Andrew Cuomo Binational Harmony Plaza. Toronto football fans cross the bridge for one Argonauts "home" game per season at the Bills' stadium.
Mark Goldman, a local historian, said he believes the reason some people get swept up in the grand visions is "sort of complex. Some people have a misunderstanding of how change occurs. If you think change occurs from the top down, you're going to be predisposed to look for large-scale, heavily funded, top-down projects."
Goldman advocated for the "lighter, quicker, cheaper" model of development unfolding at Canalside, in contrast to the idea of a big-box retailer anchoring the site.
He notes the concept of an Outer Harbor football stadium has been received far more skeptically by lawmakers and other decision makers than big projects of years past.
"It's new thinking. It's taken a while, but it's getting there," he said.
When he was mayor of Buffalo, Anthony M. Masiello was often part of these big-idea announcements. He donned a camouflage jacket and a Bass Pro hat at the 2004 news conference where then-Gov. George Pataki hailed an agreement to open a Bass Pro in the mothballed Aud. Today, there is no store, and no Aud.
Masiello said it was hard to watch visions like Bass Pro and Adelphia's tower fizzle. "I invested a lot of time and a lot of energy and a lot of capital," he said.
But he isn't ready to dismiss the value of embracing big-idea projects. "I think the important thing is the right mix. You've got to have attractions that are diverse. Some are going to be large, and some aren't going to be as large." And the region shouldn't give up just because some ideas don't pan out, he said.
Speaking of big dreams, the excitement in Niagara Falls hits you while cruising into the city on the Howard Milstein Parkway, named after the civic hero who single-handedly transformed the blighted city into an entertainment extravaganza.
Couples stroll hand-in-hand along the Niagara River on a winding trail that links a series of resort hotels. The romantic lodges have once again made Niagara Falls the Honeymoon Capital of the World.
For young people and singles, there's a bustling casino district just a few blocks away, where Venice-like canals snake between the gambling halls, making Las Vegas look quaint by comparison.
You can't see all the attractions in one day – there's just too much to do.
What really makes Niagara Falls a special place is the Magical Land of Oz theme park. The 400-acre resort in Wheatfield is one reason Niagara has been termed "Disney of the North."
Wire-walkers prance across the Niagara Gorge each summer, but no one pays much attention with everything else going on. There are things to do on the Canadian side, as well, though they're not as popular.
That Niagara Falls' many failed dream projects never came to reality is no surprise to Chris Schoepflin, a native who spends most of his days trying to undo the mistakes of the past.
Schoepflin, president of the state's USA Niagara Development Corp., said Buffalo Niagara was primed to believe in the pie-in-the-sky proposals because of the swift decline of industry and a desire to replace what was lost. "People wanted to pivot as quickly as possible," he said. "We're a very proud community."
In a place like New York City, he points out, one project does not make or break a town – and the media also have more things to focus on, so the importance of each plan is not overstated.
Schoepflin knows that when an angel investor or developer swoops in with a plan and goes straight to the media – without talking specifics or financing – there's a good chance it's not going to happen. "When you're desperate for something to happen, sometimes it gets past the sniff test," he said.
In the spirit of this story, we offer one more project for consideration: the Museum of Failed Ideas. This will be a place worthy of all the visions that became nothing more than awe-inspiring pictures, where the passers-by stroll in perpetual sunshine and cars are never stuck in traffic.
The museum will be a transformational mega-tourist magnet, unlike anything this region has ever seen. The developer is serious about it. It's a done deal. Just watch for the rendering.

The Seneca East community is gathering this morning to pay respects to two brothers from Republic who lost their lives in a crash in Reed Township last week.
The funeral for Phillip L. Bollinger and Dillon E. Bollinger, who were students at Seneca East High School, is at Lindsey-Olds Funeral Home, Bloomville, and their burial is at Attica-Venice Cemetery, Attica.
Gary Manasco, a high school science teacher and the boys' golf coach, said Phillip and Dillon were the kinds of students and players one wants.

Phillip Bollinger (left) and his brother, Dillon, were members of Seneca East's golf team.
"They had fun at what they did. They worked at what they did. ... (They were) nice young men. That's a big loss for our school," he said.
According to the funeral home, the brothers were members of Republic Rowdy Rednecks 4-H Club and participated in Attica Independent Fair.
Phillip, a 17-year-old senior, was involved in quiz bowl and the wrestling and golf teams and was an assistant coach in Bloomville's youth baseball league. Dillon, a 15-year-old sophomore, was involved in band, quiz bowl and the basketball and golf teams, according to the funeral home.
Fact Box
How to help the family
There is a donation jar at Aichholz Marathon in Republic and an account at Republic Banking Co. There also is to be a benefit July 13 at Attica Independent Fairgrounds, with details to be announced later.
Dana Willman, band director for Seneca East Local School District, said the high school band is going to play at the cemetery, and because both were Seneca East students, people thought it would be appropriate to play the school's fight song and alma mater. The songs are the same as the fight song and alma mater of Ohio State University; Dillon wanted to be in the university's marching band.
Willman said the band would have had an ice cream social, its first official meeting, Monday evening, but it was canceled due to the boys' calling hours. Dillon, who played bassoon, French horn and mellophone, would have been involved in the social, she said.
Willman said Dillon had been involved in band since fifth grade and participated in every band the school had, including the concert, marching and pep bands. He was going to be a music section leader as a sophomore in the fall.
"He liked band so much. ... (He was) such a good kid," she said.
Willman described Dillon as a friendly, intelligent and quiet boy who kept to himself and never was in trouble. She said he always was alert, ready to play and had his uniform together, and she could tell he worked hard on the field. He will be sorely missed, she said.
"It's sad beyond words," she said.
Kiana Curtiss, a sophomore who was in Dillon's class, had been friends with him since elementary school. She said he was a nice person, and she called him "dill pickle."
"He just loved talking to people," she said.
Phillip had completed his junior year at Seneca East and was in the collision repair program at Sentinel Career and Technology Center.
Carl Rusch, his instructor at Sentinel, said he was a good student and had become a good friend. Phillip stopped by to see Rusch a few days before the accident that claimed his life, and the two talked about his baseball coaching position. Phillip was excited about it, Rusch said.
"(He was) always happy to help somebody," he said.
Rusch said he never saw anyone who was so happy all the time. He said he was unable to tell the color of Phillip's eyes because he always was squinting because he was smiling so much.
"(He was) just a super happy kid. ... (He) was a happy guy," he said.
Rusch recalled Phillip bringing steaks and cooking them on the grill on Sentinel's last day of school this year. He said Phillip had talked about competing in the SkillsUSA refinishing competition and being an ambassador next year. Phillip always was one to bring up his classmates' moods, he said.
"They're having a tough time; there's no doubt about it," he said.
Kayla Sanchez, a senior at Columbian High School and one of Phillip's classmates in the collision repair program, said the group is trying to cope with the situation as a team and be there for each other. Students are taking a bus to the funeral home together today, she said.
"(We have) got a great support team behind us," she said.
Sanchez described Phillip as athletic, caring, fun, funny and outgoing and said he always was excited about something.
"It wasn't in his character to be negative about something. ... He always was a great person," she said.

"The great American experiment" (Alexis de Tocqueville) is on the verge of collapse, and our media watchdogs fiddle.
Two contemporary media trends are especially troubling.
First, we have the migration of journalists from news organizations to the Obama administration (20 or so, at last count).
Topping the list is Jay Carney, a former reporter for Time magazine. He's now Obama's spokesman. Others who have made the switch have also been reporters or editors at some of the nation's largest media outlets.
All were free to switch, certainly, but because we relied on them for accurate and unbiased news while they were journalists, we can and should ask some tough questions:
Is it ethical for journalists to report on people and agencies while also considering employment with those people and agencies? And is it acceptable for news organizations to allow such behavior by their journalists?
The Society of Professional Journalists, which believes "public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy," has a Code of Ethics that addresses our questions.
The Code says, "Journalists should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public's right to know." Specific points in the section include avoiding conflicts of interest, real or perceived; remaining free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility; refusing gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and shunning political involvement.
The answers to our questions, then, are "No" and "No," and shame on the "journalists" and their news organizations.
Another troubling trend is journalists secretly schmoozing with presidents. It's been going on for a number of years, but it's reached a crescendo with President Obama. Last month, he held three secret off-the-record sessions with journalists in the White House.
Dylan Byers at Politico last week went into a fair amount of detail on the practice. (The story is generous with anonymous sources but has enough specific attributions to give it credibility.)
Obama's secret meetings with journalists occur in The Roosevelt Room and go on for up to two and one-half hours.
Media guests vary. Regulars include columnists from the New York Times, Time magazine and The Washington Post. Other guests include various reporters (no names) and the editorial page editors of the Wall Street Journal and The Post.
Charles Krauthammer, a Fox News contributor and a "'conservative" syndicated columnist for The Post, has also attended.
Byers quotes a reporter with knowledge of the meetings as saying, "It's not an accident who he (Obama) invites. He reads the people that he thinks matter, and he really likes engaging those people." Another reporter said, "He reads people carefully - he has a columnist mentality - and he wants to win columnists over."
Obama's schmoozing has paid off handsomely. Liberals back him when he needs backing, and even Krauthammer recently caved like a cheap hooker.
In January 2011, Krauthammer suggested Republicans focus on Obamacare's individual mandate as a way of killing the measure. But in September 2013, Krauthammer fought House Republicans who wanted to delay the mandate. He advised giving Democrats what they want and letting Obamacare collapse under its own weight.
Democrats eventually got what they wanted, but the only collapsing has been sick people losing their doctors and millions of insurance policy holders losing their coverage. Thank you, Charles.
Obama's schmoozing has paid off in another way, too. It's kept impeachment talk at bay.
Consider: Only 39 percent of Americans approve of Obama's performance. He's violated the Constitution numerous times when it has suited his purposes. He's covered up major scandals, including one that involves the murder of four Americans. And he's ravaged the nation's health care system, which is likely to lead to premature death for at least some Americans.
Yet, there's no Nixonian clamor for the president's resignation before he can do more damage.
Shame on Barack Obama, and shame on his allies in the media. Our nation deserves better.

Mexico's Supreme Court issued a ruling on Monday that a law in the Mexican state of Oaxaca banning same-sex marriage was unconstitutional.
Some people might greet that news with a shrug. After all, Mexico is not the United States. A ruling that a law violates its constitution wouldn't have any bearing on the U.S. since Mexico's judicial system has no jurisdiction over the U.S. In addition, the court was basing its ruling on a state law in comparison to the Mexican constitution.
According to The Washington Blade, a gay weekly newspaper in Washington, D.C., the court cited examples in rulings from the U.S. Supreme Court to reach its decision. Specifically, the court reviewed Loving v. Virginia, which invalidated state laws that banned interracial marriages and Brown v. Board of Education, which formally cast aside the principle of separate but equal.
"That discrimination that homosexual couples have suffered when they are denied access to marriage is analogous with the discrimination suffered by interracial couples," the court wrote in citing Loving within their 56-page opinion, issued just weeks before opening arguments against California's Proposition 8, a law that banned same-sex marriage in 2008. District Court Judge Vaughn Walker struck down Proposition 8 in a ruling on Aug. 4, 2010. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Walker's decision Feb. 7, 2011.
Mexico's highest court also cited Loving in pointing out that American justices found Virginia's law "incompatible" with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. That amendment is often called "the second Bill of Rights" by constitutional scholars because it extends many of the prohibitions that Congress, the President or the Supreme Court face to the states.
"The normative power of marriage is of little use if it does not give the possibility to marry the person that one chooses," the court wrote.
What effect will this verdict have on marriage equality in the United States? Officially, it may have very little. After all, the Mexican court's jurisdiction is limited to its own borders and the ruling applied only to Oaxaca's law. The U.S. court certainly isn't bound to follow precedents established in a foreign country, except for any laws passed in Great Britain prior to the U.S. Independence Day.
Symbolically, however, the implications of the ruling may greatly exceed their formal reach. The court's decision to cite the U.S. verdicts suggests that a court system with an outsider's point of view has studied the issues our court system are grappling with and have decided that our own laws should be interpreted to allow a person to marry the person he or she chooses.
The court's citing Brown goes even further beyond simply finding bans on same-sex marriage "incompatible" with the Equal Protection Clause. That aspect of Monday's ruling remonstrates that civil unions with fewer legal rights and protections than marriages have a similar effect to providing separate schools or drinking fountains for "white" or "colored" people during segregation.
Some observers might wonder why Mexico's court is citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings in an opinion involving Mexican law.
"They do it when in our country there is no previous rulings on the subject," said lawyer Alex Alí Méndez Díaz, in explaining why the Mexican court cited American court rulings. Méndez filed lawsuits on behalf of two same-sex couples and requested redress for a third through that country's writ of amparo, which is a request for protection of constitutional rights, because of the state's ban against same-sex marriage.
"These rulings are the first at the national level that support the topics in the way in which we had planned," Méndez said.
People who argue for marriage equality often say that they will be on the "right side of history" years from now. They point to the attitudes that many of us now have toward our forefathers who protested against civil rights for blacks, women, and other disadvantaged minorities.
Opinion polls have shown time and time again in recent years that attitudes toward the gay community have changed. In 1993, allowing gays in the military was the controversial issue of the day. Within 15 years, the majority of people in the U.S. supported allowing gays to serve openly. In 2000, Vermont's approval of civil unions was considered radical.
A staff editorial that year by The Diamondback, the University of Maryland student newspaper arguing that Vermont's civil union law didn't go far enough and should have championed same-sex marriage caused a few waves even though some called the campus a very liberal one. Full disclosure: I was a member of The Diamondback's editorial staff at the time and I wrote the editorial.
By 2004, a pundit during the election campaign between then-President George W. Bush and then-Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) called civil unions "the moderate position." By 2011, Gallup reported that a majority of people in the U.S. supported same-sex marriage.
Clearly, attitudes in the U.S. have already evolved dramatically and continue to evolve. President Barack Obama waited until his fourth year in office before finally supporting marriage equality. Former Maryland state Del. Justin Ross (D-Prince George's County) originally opposed same-sex marriage, but he pushed hard for Maryland to approve a civil marriage law in 2012.
The law passed in the General Assembly and was signed by Gov. Martin O'Malley, also a Democrat, but opponents managed to get enough petitions signed to force the issue on the November ballot. However, an act that previously served as a death knell for same-sex marriage laws did not stop Maryland, Maine or Washington state voters from approving marriage equality in their states.
There's no way to know when the tide will turn and will allow all Americans the freedom to marry whom they choose, but the tide definitely has turned in favor of marriage equality. And that tide's turning received at least a symbolic push from south of the border.

This time of year, the road out of Summerville on Hwy. 78 is cold and barren. The trees have lost their leaves and as a car moves down the road the houses are left behind, making way for the more industrial part of town.
But make a quick left onto N. Maple Street and another onto Elks Lodge Lane, and a house tucked quietly beneath the trees will come into view. For some it may look removed and intimidating, surrounded by chain link fences and a mostly empty parking lot, but for others it is a beacon of hope, a safe haven.
This is the Palmetto House.
Women and their children call the property home when they lose their own. But its more than a homeless shelter the Palmetto House has a rigid structure of rules and programming that helps those in need move out of the house and into their own domiciles.
Palmetto House is owned and managed by Crisis Ministries, the largest homeless service provider in the state. The organization has six facilities and around 60 staff members, around 8 of whom spend most of their time at the Palmetto House. Last year Crisis Ministries sheltered 1,600 people, according to Vice President for Development Amy Zeigler, and 161 of those lived in the Palmetto House.
The property has 20 beds and they always stay full, Zeigler said.
Other than the bedrooms, which contain three or four beds each, the facility also has a kitchen, resource room, donation storage room, offices, a makeshift medical exam room, and a common area complete with Christmas tree.
Although it is only temporary housing, most families call the facility home for an average of 90 days and while theyre there the Palmetto House staff tries to make guests feel as comfortable as possible. This time of year theyre putting extra effort into making the holidays merry and bright, especially for the five children who currently live there.
We cant go all out, but we do what we can, said Volunteer and Food Service Coordinator Angela DuPree. Theres always something to open on Christmas morning.
In addition to buying gifts for the residents, the Palmetto House takes them to participate in area holiday events and have volunteers come host festive activities like decorating gingerbread cookies.
Zeigler said all kinds of groups volunteer with the Palmetto House, from student groups to military organizations and even retired couples.
This year SeaCoast West is volunteering in the kitchen to cook Christmas dinner.
Theres always something special for everyone on Christmas and New Years, DuPree said.
Volunteer support is a huge help to the Palmetto House staff, but they wouldnt be able to survive without donations, which Zeigler said have been moderate to low recently.
Our operating costs are very high. [Crisis Ministries] has a $6 million per year budget. About 65 percent of that comes from the federal government through grants the remainder comes from the [tri-county] community. It is a crucial support that we are trying to grow every single day, she said.
The Palmetto House is always looking for donations of food items, personal hygiene products, bus passes, cleaning products and housewares like pillows and sheets, but they dont accept clothing donations.
DuPree said the residents get vouchers to visit Goodwill where they can shop for their own clothes. The shopping may seem trivial, but she said it helps the residents keep their spirits up and restores some dignity.
We always say its a hand-up, not a hand-out.
But living at the Palmetto House is only a temporary thing, and the staff works every day to help the residents regain self-sufficiency, which is Crisis Ministries main goal.
During their stay a guest will be assigned and meet with a case manager who helps the woman develop a self-sufficiency plan.
We realize that everyone is here for a variety of reasons, Zeigler said.
She explained some have jobs but cannot afford to live on their own. Others suffer from mental illness or substance abuse. Still others move to the facility to escape domestic abuse.
For Evelyn Pemberlon it was a move from Atlanta to the Lowcountry and a case of identity theft that led her to move into the Palmetto House.
I stayed with someone for a while but I couldnt find a job and thats how I ended up here, she said.
Regardless of the reason, the Palmetto House and Crisis Ministries have the resources to help people get back on their feet.
For example, Pemberlon has been working with the Crisis Ministries legal aid department to help clear up her case of identity theft, which is preventing her from being hired.
Im grateful. This is my first holiday here and Im so thankful. Ive had a lot to eat, she laughed. God opened a door for me to get in here the way I did. I know this is only a test. I used to feed the homeless when I lived in L.A. Im just in a transitional stage right now.
While living at the Palmetto House and other Crisis Ministries facilities, residents have access to a number of resources that can help them get employed, including obtaining their GED and completing professional certification courses. In particular, their employment program focuses on training residents to work in Charlestons bustling hospitality industry.
The Palmetto House also establishes savings accounts for the residents so they can start putting money away for the future.
Zeigler said its all part of their up and out program: If you have a nest egg for yourself we want to help you keep it.
Thats why the Palmetto House provides residents with a security deposit for a new living situation when they are ready to move out. They also send the ladies off with a small supply of food from their donation pantry and connect them with the Lowcountry Furniture Bank to get furnishings.
Its quite a blessing for the ladies, DuPree said.
But that blessing doesnt come without a struggle, and the Palmetto House can use all the help they can get.
We as a staff and an organization really put our heart and soul in this every day. The work that we do ends homelessness. Id love for people to invest their time and money into this because it pushes all of us forward in the community, DuPree said.
And while the staff said the Summerville community has been amazingly supportive, the need is still great.
To learn more about volunteering and donating to the Palmetto House, call 843-486-0861. Single females or females with dependent children in need of housing may call the Housing Assistance Line at 843-737-8357.

McALISTERVILLE-- Twenty-year-old Isaac Hassinger is being used by God to pull on heart strings.
Hassinger, a singer, rapper, songwriter and all-around musician also known as Appollo J, is using his skills to get to Baja, Mexico, and further present the Gospel.
The McAlisterville man, who released his first album "Heartstrings" earlier this year on iTunes and other online music outlets, is getting ready to embark on a trip with Global Expedition which will allow him to provide worship music for a vacation Bible school program, take part in street evangelism and help assemble a home. Two hundred teens and college-aged young adults from across the Unites States are signed up to go on the trip Dec. 28 to Jan. 4.

Isaac Hassinger is shown on the cover of his new album, 'Heartstrings,' released earlier this year online.
Hassinger has been raising money over the last few months via concerts in churches and the Fayette Lion's Den, presenting his new musical style which is comparable to nationally known recording artist Toby Mac. Over $500 has been raised. He is short $177 for the trip and close to another $500 needed for the airfare.
There are no events booked currently, though Hassinger is hoping to do some Christmas programs for groups and churches who are interested.
Raising the money for the trip is only a very small part of why he does what he does musically.
"I have really just wanted to minister to young adults and teenagers and change how people see a Christian. There are a lot of issues young Christians face that get swept under the rug and you don't hear churches talk about," he said.
Hassinger's poetic spoken word and songs with a hip hop vibe touch on subjects like insecurity, emotional pain, relationships and how God can intercede in those areas.
The sound may not be one that everyone is used to, he said, except for the secular market.
"I have seen and heard a lot of negative things in secular music. This kind of (secular) music is all about drugs, girls and money. I want to make the music sound similar but bring an uplifting message," Hassinger said.
The heart of the music he creates centers around Jesus Christ and what he has done for Hassinger and other people in his life.
Hassinger shares his testimony during performances, declaring he was a "baby" Christian with struggles of self -worth. He speaks openly about the fact he is adopted and that he has medical problems.
Hassinger plays multiple instruments including the piano, various guitars, drums and cello. Music helps him connect with God and speak to others about that relationship, now with lyrics.
He also gives musical lessons on the side as a small business venture.
"It's not about making a lot of money," he stressed. While going on the trip to Baja is important to him, he noted he does not want to make his ministry about supplying funds for anything other than to continue to spread the gospel. The music ministry and the missions ministry has become a full circle helping him to use one to do the other and still impact people in each effort.
Even his stage name, Appollo J, opens doors to minister.
Hassinger was adopted by Mia and Brian Hassinger at age 2 and given the name Isaac and the middle name Jacob. His original name, Appollo was kept as his middle name as well, making his birth certificate read Isaac Appollo Jacob Hassinger.
He tells the story in his concerts of how he was born in the back of an ambulance to a drug addicted, alcoholic mother in Philadelphia.
"So I was born a drug baby weighing only a pound and a half." He was told his birth mother got out of the ambulance and walked away after she gave birth. Hassinger was hospitalized for many weeks to come. The nurses in the Philadelphia hospital took a liking to the little "fighter."
"It was 1992 and another Rocky movie came out. There was this guy in the movie, Rocky's big, black opponent named Apollo" So the nurses gave their tiny fighter a big name.
Hassinger said it made sense to him to keep that name when he performs and liken it to how God gave him a new family and a new name just like when Jesus enters the heart and believers are given a new family in Christ and are made new.
"It's very humbling," he said of the testimony.
Churches and groups interested in booking Hassinger for an event can contact him at 717-463-2875 or "like" Appollo J on Facebook and send a private message.

CHAMBERSBURG - Entering its PIAA boys Class AA soccer semifinal against District 3 runner-up Lancaster Mennonite with just one loss, playing from behind was a task that Bedford has rarely faced.
Goalie James Jeffries and the defense have only been scored on 10 times all season, while the offense has put up 125 goals.
That changed on Monday at Chambersburg's Trojan Stadium as the Bisons fell to a superior Lancaster squad, 3-1.
"Not much," Bedford coach Jeff Thomas said when asked if he was surprised by anything the Lancaster Mennonite team did. "We knew what type of team they were, and they came out hard."
While the Blazers (20-8) controlled the first half with their fierce, attacking strategy, the Bedford defense did not break until sophomore forward Ian Burkhart beat Bedford's Zach Barbus to the ball and put it past Jeffries with 16:34 remaining in the half.
"We try to play a pro style and move the ball around quickly," Lancaster coach Fred Winey said. "Then when we find a crease, we try to strike and take advantage of the opportunity."
Lancaster continued to play the remainder of the half in the Bisons territory, and seemed to put the game out of hand with a back-breaking goal from Eric Bailey with just 19 seconds remaining. Bailey's goal gave the Blazers a lead that seemed to be insurmountable the way the game was being played.
"Being up two is always better than one, but there's something deflating about scoring against a team just before the half," Winey said. "2-0 gives the other team a bigger mountain to climb."
Bedford finally showed signs of life, placing its first shot on goal just seconds into the second half when Stephen Calhoun streaked down the left side and put a strong shot on goalie Jacob Hertzler that almost got between his legs.
The Bisons came out with a sense of urgency to start the half with their backs against the wall and visions of their season coming to an end.
"We started beating them to the ball and it gave us some chances," Thomas said. "We weren't able to do that much against them."
"Being up by two is tricky because if you give up a goal, then the other team is right back in it," Winey said. "We tried to stay grounded and focused to not let that happen."
It was the only real chance that the Bisons had to get back into the game, as their second and last shot by Sam Felix didn't come until there were 11 minutes left in the match.
Lancaster senior forward Viktor Kaltenstein made sure there was no doubt about the outcome, scoring on a pass from Bailey to send the Blazers to their second straight state championship game.
Bedford's Steven Stroup scored the team's lone goal with 4:28 left on the clock. The game came to a close with a chippy end, as the Bisons let out all of the emotions that come with a tough ending to a season. Stroup and 10 other Bison will not be returning next year.
"Coming into the season we had a lot of guys back and we knew we had an opportunity to make a run," Thomas said. "I told the guys I am proud of them and they should be proud of their accomplishments this year."
The Bisons finished with a 21-2 record and many memories en route to their first PIAA playoff win and their first ever trip to the state semifinals.
"Finishing this deep in to the playoffs leaves a lot of things to be proud of and we should hold our heads high," Thomas said. "Don't get me wrong, we would like to go the finals, but we accomplished a lot."

100+ mph doesn't mean much when it he has to pull his backswing all the way to the UP to fire it off, giving defenders plenty of time to get in his shooting lane. Better to teach him how to speed up his mechanics & give up a some on the mph to get the puck on net before there are bodies in the way.
This applies to a guy standing in front of the net as well. It seems like it takes one guy out of the play for us.
Their pk players match up one-on-one, the rest of our guys rip shots from the perimeter, and the shots get blocked before they get anywhere.
We need more movement, more guys cycling down low, to break the opposing teams coverage.

Mountain View College faculty: We have no confidence in President Felix Zamora
Bad news abounds for Dallas-area higher education leaders. The latest one in trouble is Felix Zamora (right), head of Mountain View College.
Members of the faculty association at the west Oak Cliff school declared last week, in a 47-9 vote, that they have no confidence in Zamora. They accused him of mismanagement and disrespecting them.
Zamora's on vacation and not responding, DMN reporter Tawnell Hobbs says today.
Also last week, faculty at Denton-based Texas Woman's University overwhelmingly denounced their president-chancellor, Ann Stuart.
Earlier in Denton, University of North Texas president Gretchen Bataille resigned under pressure from UNT System boss Lee Jackson.

The Buffalo City Mission, a fixture at East Tupper and Ellicott streets since 1984, plans to renovate a massive former warehouse on the edge of the city's Larkinville district for use as an emergency shelter, transitional housing and affordable one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Proponents of the plan to relocate and expand the City Mission at 545 Swan St. are hoping the move will not only rejuvenate another historic building but also enable the nonprofit agency to attack homelessness more effectively.
Mission officials said the $42 million project will be financed by a combination of state and federal tax credits, grants and private contributions.
The 246,000-square-foot brick block building is nearly eight times the size of the current City Mission men's shelter at 100 E. Tupper.
The former Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. warehouse is occupied by Mesmer Refrigeration, which is relocating. Built in the early 1900s as a warehouse for dry goods and meats, the building sits on a block bordered by Swan and Hamburg streets and Myrtle and Jefferson avenues.
It would be gutted and renovated into office and ministry space for the City Mission, meeting and job training space for some of its clients, and a mixture of temporary and permanent housing for individuals served by the mission, as well as others.
Quality, affordable housing will be one of the keys to the new space, said Stuart Harper, the City Mission's executive director.
Currently, clients have few options to avoid being homeless once they complete the mission's transitional housing programs. "They graduate from that program, and I don't have anywhere to send them, because they don't have any money. This new building will give us an opportunity to house them," said Harper. "We call it exodus housing."
Harper announced earlier this year that he was looking to sell the current City Mission location on about 1½ acres near the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, where real estate values are rising dramatically.
No one has made an offer so far. Harper said the move isn't contingent on the sale of the Tupper Street building.
But he added, "We don't think we'll have any problems selling this building at all."
Proceeds from the sale will go toward operating programs at the new location, he said.
The mission is trying to build on the success of its Cornerstone Manor, a $10 million emergency shelter and transitional housing program for women and children built in 2006 on Carlton Street. It will remain there.
That facility also relied largely on the sale of state and federal tax credits.
Advocates for the homeless applauded the new plan as forward thinking.
"He's taking a holistic approach to homelessness," said Dale Zuchlewski, executive director of the Homeless Alliance of Western New York.
The alliance has estimated the city needs 400 to 500 more units of quality, low-income housing to help make a dent in the homeless population.
Developer Rocco Termini, who is working with the City Mission pro bono to help with the renovation and move, described the Tupper Street facility as obsolete.
"They use a dormitory-type setting, and that setting is not used anymore," he said.
"I don't know that it's outdated," said Zuchlewski, "but when it's open for code blue (old weather emergencies), it's crowded."
The proposed project envisions two floors for the City Mission, several floors of one- or two-bedroom apartments, with a mixture of code blue-emergency free housing and permanent apartments with rents subsidized by the tax credits. The goal is to have City Mission clients move from the temporary housing to the subsidized apartments as they get back on their feet. Two floors also will be available for rental to other nonprofit organizations.
"We think with this new building and the additional occupancy, we'll be close to eliminating homelessness in Buffalo, and that's the goal," Termini said.
Although under the aegis of the City Mission, the redevelopment effort is being spearheaded by a team put together by Termini, who has become a specialist in using historic and other tax credits to support building renovations.
He brought in architectural firm Carmina Wood Morris PC, with which he worked on the renovation of the Lafayette Hotel and other projects.
Termini also recruited general contractor R&P Oak Hill and two experts on federal and state tax credits; University at Buffalo Law School professor George M. Hezel, director of the Affordable Housing Clinic; and Steve Karnath, an affordable housing and low-income tax credit consultant who previously worked for the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal.
All the partners, except for Termini, are being compensated.
The $42 million project includes $1.3 million to buy the building. It would be funded by a mixture of state and federal historic tax credits, low-income housing tax credits, HOME affordable housing grants, housing trust funds and McKinney Act homeless shelter grants, as well as a mortgage.
The project would restore the building's exterior brick, concrete and windows while opening a new interior courtyard so that the apartments surrounding it would have windows and natural light, said Steve Carmina, partner in the architectural firm.
"The building is so big that the middle of the building doesn't have any natural light. The only way to do that is to take away square footage and create space for natural light," he said.
Before it can proceed, the project needs the approval of the Buffalo Planning Board, a zoning change from manufacturing to commercial and support from the state Historic Preservation Office, National Park Service and the Preservation Board.
The building is surrounded on Swan by townhouse-style single-family homes, and the public will have an opportunity to weigh in on the project.
"It's very ambitious," said Fillmore District Council Member David A. Franczyk, "but it seemed like a good plan."
"It's so preliminary that I'm not going to discourage the guy, and if there's opposition, we'll deal with it then," he added.
"If it's well-run and well-managed and there's staff on board, then I don't think it should be a problem. It's all in the management."
Harper said the City Mission has a long history of being an exemplary neighbor at its current site.
Mission officials hope to be in the new facility by 2016, in advance of the mission's 100th anniversary in 2017, he said.
Carmina estimated 12 to 16 months will be needed to get the financing in place and 13 to 16 months for construction.
Termini first proposed the idea to the City Mission a year ago, urging its leadership to consider moving to a new location because the Tupper Street building is too small and "your property is worth a lot of money."
The mission building is about a block from the Frey the Wheelman properties that Uniland Development Co. just bought as part of a $5 million redevelopment into a high-technology "innovation hub," and it's two blocks from the southern edge of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.

Social Security is in fiscal trouble.
Medicare and Medicaid are in even more fiscal trouble.
Korea is flexing its nuclear war muscles with a reckless, inexperienced leader.
The full story on the Benghazi attack that left an American ambassador and three others dead will probably never be told.
The national debt is out of control.
And the political divide in Washington is wider than ever.
That's the daily scene in the nation's capital that Rep. Tom Marino, a Cogan Station Republican who represents much of the region, described during an editorial board visit to the Sun-Gazette last week.
The good news is that there are solutions to all of the problems above, according to Marino.
The Keystone Pipeline could be constructed Marino predicts it will be approved before summer creating thousands of jobs and improving the nation's oil inventory.
The nation, which is 65 percent dependent on foreign oil, could be energy independent in 10 years with pragmatic development of natural gas, oil and other alternative sources, according to Marino.
That energy independence would, in turn, improve the nation's foreign relations position, according to Marino, who is on the House Foreign Relations Committee. It also would drop the cost of energy significantly for all Americans, Marino believes.
The House has a budget plan that would turn the nation's debt toward reduction within the next 10 years, but it will be hard to execute unless President Obama's health care plan is rejected, Marino said.
The country simply can't afford Obamacare. It's not as if no health care changes are necessary. Health care should not be denied for people with pre-existing conditions and health insurance should be available for purchase across state lines, according to Marino.
But other parts are so unaffordable that the president has to seek more revenues to pay for it.
There are solutions to all of these problems and Marino readily concedes the debt in particular is as much the fault of Republicans as Democrats.
Marino says the solutions will come when the game plan of too many elected officials gain re-election, gain party control and maintain party control is dropped and the childish bickering is curtailed in favor of a bipartisan drive toward pragmatic solutions is pursue.
Sounds reasonable to us.

I've purchased this bag to replace a 15 year old leather Levenger bag that I dearly love. I'm not totally in love with this one yet, but mostly because it's different. It has a large space inside which fits my calendar and work notebook, an inside pocket that fits my iPad perfectly and as you can see by the photo, lots of pockets on the outside which I've just used so far to carry a couple of water bottles to work. I wish the size of the opening was larger or that it didn't have a zipper cuff as that makes it hard to just drop in a file folder. You have to turn it a bit sideways to get in and out. That' s my only con.

I'm a long time levenger customer and have bought a few bags over the years. My leather tote finally wore out and I bought this as a good every day alternative bag. My biggest complaint is that the fabric transfers dye to things that are stored in the bag making things look smudged. My ipad cover has grey smudges all over it and will have to be replaced. Papers and folders get smudged if left inside for any length of time. I've started storing stuff in an envelope if it's something important. It's not the quality that I have come to expect from Levenger. I don't see other reviews with this problem so I'm not sure if it's unique to my bag or a more general problem. But I've been looking for a replacement bag because of this problem. I do find the bag comfortable to wear, strap is easy to adjust. It would benefit from a closed interior pocket and maybe some pen loops or elastic holders in some of the exterior pockets.

Useful, Simple Style, but monogram not on BAG.
By dragon
from Undisclosed
The bag itself is great - useful, with excellent pockets. It's not the most fashionable bag every. The canvas is a good material. The bag lost stars because the monogram is not ON THE BAG - it comes on a tag! If I had known that, no way would I have bothered with the monogram, and I may not bother with future Levenger monograms.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Just what I needed!
By Seattlemomma
from Seattle, WA
I purchased this bag to use as a costumer - I constantly have to haul lots of little sewing/craft tools to different theaters. I decided to splurge on this, and LOVE it - pockets are deep enough for a pair of scissors, roomy main compartment currently is holding a (circa) notebook, hairdryer, hot glue gun, and 2 partially completed costume pieces. Nice wide base so it doesn't tip over, and I love the weathered grey canvas - it isn't going to show dirt at all. I am so glad I treated myself.
Levenger staff go bag
By Sassafras
from San Luis Obispo
I like this bag because it has an abundance of organizational pockets. I have used it for sewing class, traveling, and for my job. I like the fact that you can zip the top, if you are carrying things like your ipad or purse. I like that it looks fairly informal, i.e. Could even be a shopping bag. This allows me to leve it in the car with less worry if I just want to go in a store with my credit card for a short time period. The bag is sturdy, well thought-out.
Nice looking functional bag
By mellumac
I like this bag. Holds my iPad easily. Will hold my 13 inch laptop(in the main section but not in the pocket....that is for a tablet or iPad). Carrying the laptop would make it pretty heavy. The outside pockets are nice. Makes pens, snacks, cough drops, keys easy to get to and things stay put. I don't think the main section sags, but that may depend on how much you carry. The strap is great, and helps you balance the weight of the bag. I like the zippered main compartment. The bag is big to me, but is helpful in what it handles. Got it on an extra good outlet sale, so good value.
the quest for the purfect bag
By RW1955
The quest for the perfect bag is never ending, but this one is close! I love all of the pockets and the roomy interior space. But my favorite part is the long strap and the zipper. I travel a lot and although I love the book bag, without the zipper I was in jeopardy of my important items falling out and being lost. The only improvements I would recommend would be an interior zip pocket for pens, etc. and a loop to hook my keys on.
Excellent for stuffing your bag full
By rideatrain
from Plover WI
At 9" wide this bag carries four Circa notebooks (1" to 1 1/2" rings), mouse, a junior size padfolio, pens, and misc. files. My only problem is the bag cannot carry 8 1/2 x 14 legal pads as it is exactly 14" long and folios are usually 15" long to accommodate the legal pad. I would buy it again if I lost this bag.
Levenger Staff Go Bag
By NACC58
from Midland, Michigan
I really love the quality of Levenger. As well as everything I stated above. However, the only thing I would look for next time is that the sides stay propped when not as full. Other than that, it is perfect for what I need and want to use it for. Thank you so much for your company name, the respect you receive is right on the money.
Perfect bag to carry on plane
By GrannyB54
from Knoxville, IA
I thought I would use this bag as a purse but it's a little bigger than I thought. BUT it works perfectly as a tote to take on the plane for those items you want easy access to while flying. Fabric appears of good quality and it seems like it will be durable.
Best Bag Ever!
By BostonBetty
from Boston, MA
Coming from a bag hoarder, this is high praise! Before I would trek two bags and a tacky plastic grocery one that held my lunch! This baby holds it all and more! And all at the ready. Thermos full of hot coffee at the train station? Got it. Book and or daily rag? Check. Ipad? Yep. Wallet, phone, umbrella, etc? I could go on and on! This baby will never leave my side! I could leave the house for hours, days, even and never carry anything else!
By TerryB
from Sweetwater, TX
I own at least 50 bags and this one has quickly become one of my favorites! I have a family member in the hospital and this is the perfect bag to take back and forth - it holds everything I need and with all the pockets, it's easy to keep things separate and accessible. One great feature is the zippered main compartment - you don't have to worry about things falling out!The quality of the bag is just what you would expect from Levenger - every detail has been considered and the craftsmanship is excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this bag to any of my friends!

Cognitive and Moral Obstacles to Imputation
Jeffrie G. Murphy
Arizona State University College of Law
Jahrbuch Fur Recht Und Ethik – Annual Review of Law and Ethics, Vol. 2, p. 67, 1994
This article attempts to generate some anxiety about retributivism. The imputation of responsibility is a weighty matter that sets in motion powerful institutional and psychological mechanisms of blame and condemnation and coercive responses in the law. Most of the philosophical literature on the imputation of responsibility has focused upon the attributes that ought to be present in the agent before responsibility is imputed, but this article addresses the attributes that ought to be present, not in the agent, but in the one who imputes responsibility. This article addresses the obstacles or challenges to the legitimacy of imputation. It considers them within the context of retributive punishment.
