A Series of Books Published by Southern Illinois University Press
Edited by Christian G. Samito
Abraham Lincoln identified a "new birth of freedom" during the Civil War era, when the government and people of the United States undertook the most comprehensive reconsideration of legal and political issues since the constitutional convention in 1787. Americans confronted the contours of governmental power and considered the boundaries of civil liberties during wartime. Legislation fueled national development, nationalized the monetary and banking system, and promoted both the coercive power of government, through taxation and conscription, and its role in taking care of citizens, though the provision of pensions for Civil War veterans. Wartime experiences, and the triumph of unionism on the battlefield, allowed for the creation of a stronger nation-state. Millions of Africans Americans marched out of bondage into inclusion in a newly defined national citizenship, called for an enduring freedom, and began to enjoy civil and political rights for the first time. At the same time, a racist counter-revolution in the South sought to tamp out this new enjoyment of citizenship rights by African Americans, as well as to intimidate white Republican governments.
This exciting new series from Southern Illinois University Press is the first to focus on the rich legal history of the period from the Mexican War to Plessy v. Ferguson and Jim Crow. The series will explore legal history from different angles, ranging from presidential leadership to legislative mandates, and from judicial interpretation to the impact society had on legal development, and how law, society, and politics mixed during this period to shape American legal development. Broad topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:
• slavery
• abolitionism
• the Republican party
• civil liberties during wartime
• war powers
• economic development and modernization
• the expansion of the federal government
• Confederate legal history
• the redefinition of American citizenship
• changes in legal thought and education
• suffrage movements
• race relations
• Native Americans
• African Americans and the Union military
• rights developments during Reconstruction (both in terms of advances in theory and practice as well as negative reactions, e.g. the Ku Klux Klan)
• the rise of Jim Crow
Books in the series will be written with a high scholarly caliber and will also be accessible to an interested non-academic audience. In addition to making significant contributions to historiography, these volumes will be important and relevant, often covering topics bearing on issues that continue to be debated today. The primary audience for this series consists of professional historians, political scientists, law professors, and practicing attorneys, as well as students in undergraduate, graduate, and law school classes. The wider audience fascinated by the Civil War era and its legacy—and increasingly interested in the history of American legal development—will find these books particularly appealing as well. Although the majority of the books will be overviews and monographs, themed essay compilations and selected edited collections of papers from important legal thinkers will be welcome in the series. Ideally, books in the series will be up to 95,000 words in length and may include as many as twenty graphic images.
Anyone interested in learning more about the series is invited to email the series editor, Christian G. Samito, at email@example.com.

Coordinated Engineering and Engineering Honors
The Department of Physics proudly hosts the Coordinated Engineering Program and the Engineering Honors Program.
The Coordinated Engineering Program offers two years of engineering study at Brooklyn College and transfer to NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering (NYU-Poly), the Grove School of Engineering at City College, or the College of Staten Island Engineering Science Program.
- Program Brochure (pdf)
Why Study Engineering?
Engineering is one of America's fastest-growing professions because technology affects our day-to-day lives in countless ways. Any invention must be engineered before it can be used. Engineers have designed every building we enter, every high-tech medical device, every tool we use, every car we drive, and everything big and little in the kitchen, office and garage.
Engineers solve practical problems, from getting an astronaut home from outer space to designing a car seat safe enough for an infant.
Engineers work in a broad range of fields, including environmental protection, biotechnology, biomimetics, computer design, communications, robotics, aerospace, industrial chemistry and materials science, among others. They build and maintain systems through which technology and nature interact, such as solar and wind energy, emissions technology for cars and industry, and sensors to measure oxygen levels in the sea and in lakes.
Engineering is one of the most rewarding professions. A strong background in the humanities and social sciences helps engineers understand human needs. This convergence of engineering and liberal arts has practical implications in the marketplace. Engineers commonly rise to well-paid managerial positions in business, industry and government because they know how to apply quantitative analysis and the scientific method to issues in social and civic life.
Engineering provides a sound preparation for other professional careers. An engineering background in mathematics, science and design, combined with humanities and the social sciences, strengthens students' qualifications for such professions as medicine, law and accountancy.
Why Begin Your Engineering Education at Brooklyn College?
The Brooklyn College Coordinated Engineering Program is close to home and offers a course of study that is the equivalent of the first two years at any engineering school. Annual tuition is about $5,000 — substantially lower than at most private engineering schools, where annual tuition may be as high as $40,000 to $50,000.
Coordinated Engineering students who maintain the required academic level can transfer to one of three coordinating schools — NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering (NYU-Poly), the Grove School of Engineering at City College, or the College of Staten Island Engineering Science Program — to complete their bachelor's degree in engineering. (Coordinated Engineering students have also transferred to SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Buffalo, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Michigan and Cooper Union.)
The Coordinated Engineering Program keeps students informed of rapid changes in the profession through the Engineering Club. The club invites working engineers to talk about their specialties and arranges visits to such facilities as Brookhaven National Laboratory, where cutting-edge research is being done.
Through Brooklyn College's Magner Career Center, the college can help Coordinated Engineering students fund participation in summer and between-terms internships and other programs.
With native speakers of 100 languages on campus, Brooklyn College is a welcoming institution whose student body reflects the diversity of Brooklyn and the wider New York area. The college has an active Women's Center and numerous student clubs and activities.
Program Requirements
Coordinated Engineering students take about 64 credits in engineering and the liberal arts, which include English composition and courses in Brooklyn College's nationally recognized Core Curriculum program. The Coordinated Engineering curriculum matches that in the first two years of study at most engineering schools throughout the country, and courses are transferable to the three schools that participate in the Coordinated Engineering Program. Each institution has admission requirements that must also be met. Courses are also transferable to many other engineering programs. Course requirements include engineering mechanics and electrical circuit analysis and laboratory (seldom taught outside of engineering schools) as well as data structures and computer organization. Chemistry, mathematics, calculus-based physics, modern physics and biology give Coordinated Engineering students a secure foundation for the advanced engineering courses given at Brooklyn College.
First-year science and mathematics classes usually have 25 to 30 students. Second-year classes in science, engineering and mathematics usually have 12 or fewer students.
For students who enter the Coordinated Engineering Program but decide later not to pursue engineering, the program's Core Curriculum requirements allow a smooth transition to the Scholars Program or another Honors Academy program and to any of the 70 undergraduate majors available at Brooklyn College.
Admission to the Coordinated Engineering Program
Students interested in the Coordinated Engineering Program must meet the eligibility criteria for admission to Brooklyn College and submit an application for admission as a freshman to the City University of New York, indicating Brooklyn College as their first choice.
Qualified students already matriculated at Brooklyn College may apply to join the Coordinated Engineering Program at any time.
Brooklyn College/CUNY application forms may be obtained online.
Engineering Honors
Students with strong high school academic records and high aptitude for mathematics may apply for acceptance to Engineering Honors, the honors component of the Coordinated Engineering Program.
Engineering Honors is federated with the Brooklyn College Honors Academy, an intellectual community offering study facilities, faculty consultation, computer access and academic opportunities appropriate to honors students' abilities and needs. In the Honors Academy Commons Room, members make new friends among other ambitious, academically talented students like themselves.
Students interested in applying should complete the Brooklyn College Online Application for Honors, Scholarships and Special Programs.
Students who do not meet the admission requirements for Engineering Honors may still be accepted to the Brooklyn College Coordinated Engineering Program and may be eligible for the Engineering Honors Program after two semesters. Students already matriculated at Brooklyn College may apply to join the Coordinated Engineering Program and Engineering Honors at any time.
Engineering Honors requires that students maintain a minimum 3.50 overall grade point average and a minimum 3.20 average in science and engineering subjects. Successful completion of the Engineering Honors requirements is indicated on the student's transcript. Engineering Honors students receive Presidential Scholarships of $2,000 per semester for their two years in the Engineering Honors Program.
The Brooklyn College Coordinated Engineering Program provides a superior education at a manageable cost.
Brooklyn College students who have completed the program and who transfer to NYUPoly will receive financial aid in terms of government grants and loans for their final two years of study. Those who transfer to the Grove School of Engineering at City College or the College of Staten Island Engineering Science Program continue to pay tuition as set by the City University of New York.

'Was it something I said?'
John Malkovich is a cultural icon, not your garden variety celebrity, and it's somewhat amazing that Apple got him to perform with the iPhone 4S and meme worthy Siri digital assistant. The exchanges between the two are nothing short of classic.
Malkovich: Joke?
Siri: Two iPhones walk into a bar. I forget the rest.
To whit, Malkovich chuckles happily.
And, this theme — forces of nature, like Samuel Jackson, Zooey Deschanel and, now, Malkovich very much being themselves in a room alone with Siri (and a "few" cameras) — is utterly brilliant. It is inconceivable that any other company or product would inspire and deliver so eloquently…

I agree. The reseller can't make a go of his business plan and therefore
its PV's fault. He shouldn't have given up his day job. what a whiner.

Hartford — The legislature's Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee voted 30-19 Friday to establish tolls to help pay for the completion of Route 11. The bill now moves to the House of Representatives.
"Those of us in southeastern Connecticut are waiting for the completion (of Route 11)," state Sen. Andrea Stillman, D-Waterford, said. "We must be pushing the 40-year mark on this road."
The Transportation Committee also has voted to support the bill, which has been controversial because it would reintroduce tolls to the state.
"This funding scheme and the reintroduction of tolls for the purposes of our roadways is something that is very controversial," state Sen. Toni Boucher, R-Wilton, said.
Boucher said there is a study on tolls, including a toll for Route 11, currently underway. She said she was told the study would be completed by the fall and would provide the legislature with a better understanding of whether it should move forward with tolls or use alternative means to fund the road.
Regardless of whether the study shows the toll for Route 11 has merit, Stillman said, this bill at least would put the idea in place.
"October rolls around and we are not in session and it gives the go-ahead to the department if their study proves that it is a good idea to start the process," Stillman said. … "Nobody likes tolls, let's get real, but the reality is that this is a very small stretch of road and we need a way to try to pay for it."
The use of secondary roads instead of a completed Route 11 also is a public safety concern, she said. The current road is inadequate for traffic and it goes by a large aquifer that provides drinking water in southeastern Connecticut, Stillman said. Many accidents, including the rollover of an oil tanker some years ago, raise concerns about polluting the water source, she said.
The tolls wouldn't pay for the entire Route 11 project, which is projected to cost between $1.2 billion and $1.5 billion. The state would pay 20 percent of that cost through bonding, with the federal government providing the other 80 percent. The tolls would be used to pay back the money the state would bond.
A couple of months ago, former Salem First Selectman Peter Sielman, who has followed the project for years, said highway and interchange completion costs could be paid off in about 25 years if a $2 toll for cars and a higher toll for trucks were imposed. But last month, State Rep. Pamela Sawyer, R-Bolton, a member of the Transportation Committee, said she has heard the toll might be as high as $5.
Stillman said the federal government is not sending the state enough money to pay for new roads and bridges, and the gas tax doesn't raise enough money either. Therefore, tolls need to be discussed, she said.
"It's a very small piece of road, which people of southeastern Connecticut have been waiting many years for," Stillman said.
State Rep. David Scribner, R-Brookfield, said he opposed the bill, in part because it potentially could tie up all other state transportation projects.
The state Department of Transportation would have to commit the funding and prioritize it above all other transportation projects in Connecticut, he said.
"My opposition is not only to tolls in general, which we have had many debates about. It has to do with the impact that it would have on our Special Transportation Fund and the prioritization of all other transportation projects throughout the state, including rails, highways, badly needed bridge repairs, (and) our ports."

- Conference date: 2-3 November 2006
- Location: Indianapolis, Indiana (USA)
Objective: The focal zone width appears to be a critical factor in lithotripsy. Narrow focus machines have a higher occurrence of adverse effects, and arguably no greater comminution efficiency. Manufacturers have introduced new machines and upgrades to broaden the focus. Still, little data exists on how focal width plays a role in stone fracture. Thus, our aim was to determine if focal width interacts with established mechanisms known to contribute to stone fracture. Method: A series of experiments were undertaken with changes made to the stone in an effort to determine which is most important, the shock wave (SW) reflected from the back end of the stone (spallation), the SW ringing the stone (squeezing), the shear wave generated at surface of the stone and concentrated in the bulk of it (shear), or SWs generated from bubble collapse (cavitation). Shock waves were generated by a Dornier HM3‐style lithotripter, and stones were made from U30 cement. Baffles were used to block specific waves that contribute to spallation, shear, or squeezing, and glycerol was used to suppress cavitation. Numerical simulation and high‐speed imaging allowed for visualization of specific waves as they traveled within the stone. Results: For brevity, one result is explained. A reflective baffle was placed around the front edge of a cylindrical stone. The proximal baffle prevented squeezing by preventing the SW from traveling over the stone, but permitted the SW entering the stone through the proximal face and did not affect the other mechanisms. The distal baffle behaved the same as no baffle. The proximal baffle dramatically reduced the stress, and the stone did not break (stone broke after 45±10 SWs without the baffle and did not break after 400 SWs when the experiment stopped). The result implies that since removing squeezing halted comminution, squeezing is dominant. However, there is much more to the story. For example, if the cylindrical stone was pointed, it broke with the point on the distal end but not with the point on the proximal end. In both cases, squeezing was the same, so if squeezing were dominant, both stones should have broken. But the pointed front edge prevents the shear wave. The squeezing wave and its product — the shear wave — are both needed and work synergistically in a way explained by the model. Conclusions: A broad focus enhances the synergism of squeezing and shear waves without altering cavitation's effects, and thus accelerates stone fracture in SWL.

American Idol champ David Cook hopes to return to his tour later this week after canceling two shows "to deal with personal family matters."
The singer did not elaborate in the announcement posted on his Web site. But Cook's brother Adam has been battling brain cancer for over a decade, and Cook's rep tells PEOPLE that David spent time with Adam last week.
Cook, 26, who canceled college campus shows Monday and Tuesday in New Hampshire and Connecticut, will appear on Idol in a taped performance Wednesday. He is planning to get back on the road Thursday, his rep says. Concert dates are currently scheduled through October.
"David would like everyone to rest assured that we are working with the universities to reschedule the shows that are missed," says his site. Fans, meanwhile, posted hundreds of messages of support. "Take as much time as you need," wrote one. "My prayers are always with you and your amazing family."

During gift-giving season in the digital age, boxed sets are absurdly anachronistic - and more essential than ever. Sure, it's ridiculous to lust after doorstop-sized consumer goods when the sounds therein could easily fit on a flash drive the size of your fingernail. But then what are you going to give the music lovers in your life who need to hold a tangible treasure come the holidays?
Boxes cater to obsessives, and there's always more in the vaults. This year, there are a number of sets in which a single classic album has been padded with extras to fill a box, including the Michael Jackson Bad set reviewed here, as well as sets dedicated to The Velvet Underground & Nico and The Beach Boys' Smile.

First Draft Finding the right bank Steven Benner Davenport University
This preview has intentionally blurred sections. Sign up to view the full version.View Full Document
Bank stability is a key aspect of searching for a bank; with that being said banks that are apart of the FDIC are a better choice. This is a question that people have been mulling over since the 19 th century. Back in the 1930's when the Great Depression hit, many banks failed and could not pay the monies that were given to them. After the Great Depression, the government stepped in and took charge. Congress created what is known as the FDIC. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations was created in 1933 in response to the thousands of bank failures that occurred in the 1920's and early 1930's. Created by the Glass-Stegall Act of 1933, it provides deposit insurance, which guarantees members deposits up to $250,000.00 per depositor per bank as of January 2012. This "Act" is very important when choosing the right bank. If a bank were to fail the people's money that was in the bank that failed would be backed by the United States Government. Banks are required to place signs at their place of business stating that "Deposits are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government." This is something that everyone should notice first when choosing the right bank. Typically people tend to want their money insured in case anything were to happen to the depositor. Not every bank is apart of the FDIC and with over 10,000 bank that participate in the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporations) it is a hard choice for the average American to make. Credit Unions are one of the type of banks that are not apart of the FDIC. Credit Unions are different than your typical bank. The main difference in a Credit Union is that members who have accounts in the credit union are the owners of the credit union and they elect their board of directors in a one-person-one-vote system regardless of the amount of money they have invested in the credit union. They big thing with credit unions are the feeling of being community- oriented which is a big motto for credit unions alike. The policies governing interest rates and other matters are set by the board of directors elected by and from the membership itself. Another big thing with credit unions as helping members improve their financial health. Legally and for tax purposes, credit unions are considered to be not-for-profit. This makes
serving their members more of a priority than trying to maximize profits. They might be able to offer members more affordable loans, higher return on savings and lower fees. There are many reasons to join a bank. Some of these reasons people join banks are because they do not want to carry cash around with them anymore. Another reason is that they find it more secure having a bank account. A big reason is for people that have savings accounts. Typically savings accounts yield a return on the amount of money you invest. Every bank is different in the amount that you can earn in interest from the bank. As of today it looks like 1.05% is a one of the best interest rates

FYI, all the USA entries are considered provisional at this time and are not official until published on the USFS site.
Since Halverson did not finish in the top 4 in Courchevel, another USA man will likely be sent to Madrid (the 4 listed substitutes without an assignment yet are William Brewster J9 at Nats, Austin Kanallakan J10, Grant Hochstein J11, and Ross Miner N2).
ETA: USFS usually follows most recent Nationals results when it comes to assigning their JGP alternates... we will have to wait and see what happens.
Last edited by Sylvia; 08-30-2008 at 04:58 PM.
I hope they send Ross Miner!
I'm also not confident of Artur Gachinski showing up, since he did not appear at Courcheval.
However, that's the official roster as of now...next week, you can guarantee there will be changes.
Gatchinski is supposed to be the next big thing. I would like to see him skate.
I suppose Borodulin has gone on to Seniors. I think he has the most potential.
btw. Cheers for the French for showing at least the Men Live!! can we expect this from other countries involved with the Junior GPs?
William Brewster got the call as the 1st men's alternate for the USA. USFS published their entries for Madrid today at: http://www.usfigureskating.org/Athletes.asp?id=216
In addition to Courchevel medalists Musademba, Shibutani/Shibutani, Bereswill and Mahbanoozadeh, Brewster, 18, will make his JGP debut (in his last season of ISU junior eligibility) and this will be Tibbetts/Brubaker's first JGP of the season.
Skate Canada updated their JGP assignments for Madrid at: http://www.skatecanada.ca/en/athlete...ignments/#jrgp
Ladies: Rylie McCulloch-Casarsa (her 2nd assignment)
Men: Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Patrick Wong
Dance: Alexandra Paul/Jason Cheperdak, Catherine St. Onge/Alexander Brown
The ISU rosters have been updated as of Sept. 10th with the latest Canadian and USA assignments. Other changes: Mark Vaillant replaces Ponsart for FRA, Erika Tisluck is no longer listed as the second lady for CAN, Royer/Leze replace Hemmler/Allain in dance for FRA, and Plutowska/Pietrzynski replace Gavrylovych/Bernadowski in dance for POL.
I can see Berewill and Musademba vieing for gold and Armin will be on the podium. Don't know anything about Brewster. The Shibutani's should skate away with this. Hoping Tibbets/Brubaker skate really well. I though they were underscored at last Nats.
Sylvia, do you know anything about the Japanese girls at this competition?
love William's skating... is he competing or still just an alternate?
I don't think Mari will be contending for a medal - she was 10th at Junior Nationals last year and her personal best score isn't very high. She achieved the amazing feat of having both her lutz and flip score deducted because of a wrong edge take-off in the LP. She seems to have all the triples, but flutz/lip, lack of consistency and lack of combos kept her score low.
Kanako is a very promising skater. She is coached by Machiko Yamada (former coach of Midori Ito and Mao Asada). She used to have all the jumps and even landed an (underrotated, but still) 3A. Recently, however, she had a huge growth spurt. It affected her harder triples - she has problems to rotate them fully. She also had an arm injury last spring.
A montage created before the growth spurt hit:
Her LP, "Tango de los Exilados" skated in March 2008 (after she started growing):
(LP starts at 2:22)
A very recent exhibition (The Ice 2008):
(It looks like she's got a lot of the speed, power and confidence back, but the timing on the jumps is still off.)
She has great musicality and expression for her age, her spins are very nice as well. I'd say she's the one to look out for in the future, but right now underrotations and/or popped jumps might keep her score low.
The Japanese media love her already and there were a few programs about her and her training mate, Sayaka Matsubara. Kanako's favourite skater is Mao Asada, while Sayaka's - YuNa Kim, so the media treat their rivarly as sort of a next coming of Mao/YuNa rivalry.

The Motley Fool's health-care show Market Checkup focuses this week on obesity, one of America's largest health-care concerns. Recently classified as a disease, obesity leads to serious health problems including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Currently 35% of adults in the U.S. are classified as obese, but more troubling, one out of three children is as well. All told, obesity adds $190 billion in medical costs to the system, but efforts to tackle this growing problem are increasing.
In this video, health-care analysts David Williamson and Max Macaluso discuss Arena Pharmaceuticals, maker of Belviq, the first new obesity drug approved in more than a decade. Arena just launched Belviq after a long period of DEA scheduling, but can it avoid the pitfalls and struggles that have weighed heavily on its chief competitor? Watch and find out.
Rising health-care costs continue to be a hotly debated topic, and even legendary investor Warren Buffett called this trend "the tapeworm that's eating at American competitiveness."

Critics: Obama golfs and/or vacations too much? Do you agree?
"So what will happen is that the spiral of sectarian warfare will increase more and more, radicalizing the Sunni populations more and more and eventually spilling over into countries across the region almost all of which have mixed Shia-Sunni populations," Khedery said.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Back in December 2010, America's continued support of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki made it so that "Iraq's path toward civil war was really inevitable," Khedery said. That's because Maliki's new lease on life led him to steer Baghdad "toward a very pro-Iranian and sectarian agenda, which inevitably disillusioned and disenfranchised Sunni Arabs for a second time."
"Then given Maliki's misrule in Iraq and Assad's misrule in Syria and their cooperation along with the Iranians and Hezbollah to wage a campaign of genocide, led to a region-wide sectarian war while the United States under President Obama stood back and watched and did nothing as the violence spiraled further and further out of control," Khedery said.
He added that "the reason why we face strategic defeat in the Middle East is because we are not choosing to act in a forceful way against ISIS.

"Ali Khedery, the longest continuously serving American official in Iraq (2003-09), recently sat down to discuss American policy in the Middle East.
"As the Middle East unravels, the U.S. and its allies will be the real losers because we won't be able to contain these cancers of sectarian war and transnational jihad. Radicals will grow in strength on both sides, namely the Salafist ISIS and the Shia militias, eventually driving the entire region towards destabilization, inevitably threatening global energy supplies and the global economy."
Khedery lays significant blame for the current crisis at Obama's feet, noting that in 2010 " Washington betrayed the promises that the U.S. government had made to the Sunni tribal leaders, the same leaders that had fought al-Qaeda [in Iraq] throughout the 'Awakening.'"

Wonder if the Saudi king knows specifics or if he's just assuming we'll be hit shortly?
Have we heard anything from IS about Israel? Kinda odd, but I don't think I have. And have we heard anything about Israel dropping anything on them? Again, I don't think so. I would think they'd be in more imminent danger--any group that kills other Muslims would have to detest the idea of Israel even more than Iran, Hamas etc.

"PRESIDENT OBAMA'S acknowledgment that "we don't have a strategy yet" in Syria understandably attracted the most attention after his perplexing meeting with reporters Thursday. But his restatement of the obvious was not the most dismaying aspect of his remarks. The president's goal, to the extent he had one, seemed to be to tamp down all the assessments of gathering dangers that his own team had been issuing over the previous days."

"WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is crafting a blame-it-on-Congress legal justification to back up President Barack Obama's impending executive actions on immigration.
Facing an expected onslaught of opposition, the administration plans to argue that Congress failed to provide enough resources to fully enforce U.S. laws, thereby ceding wide latitude to White House to prioritize deportations of the 11.5 million people who are in the country illegally, administration officials and legal experts said. But Republicans, too, are exploring their legal options for stopping Obama from what they've deemed egregious presidential overreaching."

The administration has also covered up, or at the very least downplayed, a serious epidemic of crime along the Mexican border even as heavily armed drug cartels have taken over portions of the region. Judicial Watch has reported that the U.S. Border Patrol actually ordered officers to avoid the most crime-infested stretches because they're "too dangerous" and patrolling them could result in an "international incident" of cross border shooting. In the meantime, who could forget the famous words of Obama's first Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano; the southern border is "as secure as it has ever been."

HEADLINE: Judicial Watch: Feds' Bulletin Describes Threat of Imminent Terrorist Attack on Southern Border
For those of us who've been raising alarms about both the jihadist threat and the national-security vulnerability created by the Obama administration's non-enforcement of the immigration laws, this is not a surprise — particularly less than two weeks before September 11. But it is nonetheless jarring to read. Judicial Watch has just put out this statement:
Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.

Used quote sign--worked. Never had to before. Anyway, interesting editorial about the federal work requirement for food stamps.
OH asked for/was granted a waiver for 16 of 88 counties where unemployment is especially high.
Now OH "is the target of a civil rights complaint by several groups claiming the waivers discriminated against racial minorities." The waiver counties are composed of just 6% minorities. (State average is 37%)
"In order to be politically correct, it is entirely possible USDA officials will cave in and allow the change.
But that would mean that food stamp applicants in areas where it is easier to find jobs still would not be required to comply with the work mandate."
And we wonder why there are stereotypes.

"(CNSNews****) – The mayor of Lynn, Mass. says that some of the illegal aliens from Guatemala who are enrolled in her city's public schools are adults with graying hair and "more wrinkles than I have."
"They are not all children," Judith Flanagan Kennedy told reporters at a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
"One of the things that we did notice when we were processing some of these students coming in was that they were adults," she said.
She added that the federal government will not allow school officials to verify their ages, even though one of the students turned out to be 35 years old."

Questioner. There's always something going on !
Maybe Bush did ? But Bush spent 30% of his time at the western WH too.
I can't see how anybody can complain about a little R&R by any president,
Look at the house and senate their always on R&R I don't know how these people justify their exsistance .
They complain about Obama not doing more about Syria when they denied him the money and approval last yr. at this time.
Now their whining again. Come up with a plan and we'll look at it in 2 weeks,
The way Fox News goes on you'd think we weren't going to make it past tomorrow.

I said No too, but could have gone either way. Like Bug said, they are on call and have briefings even when they're gone. And supposedly, business gets discussed on a golf course. But didn't Bush stop golfing at the end--said it wasn't right while stuff was going on.
BUT, timing is everything. There are times when they leave that they are asking for criticism.

Pay attention to the part about setting a gateway. That's your problem.

- John FORTESCUE (Sir Chief Justice)
- Born: ABT 1394 / 1412, Wymston & Shepham, Devonshire, England
- Died: ABT 1476 / AFT 1502, Ebrington, Gloucestershire, England
- Notes: Educated at Exeter College, Oxford. During the reign of Henry VI he was three times appointed one of the governors of Lincoln's Inn. In 1441 he was made a King's sergeant at law, and in the following year Lord Chief Justice of the King's bench. As a judge Fortescue was recommended for his wisdom, gravity and uprightness; and he is said to have been favoured by the King.
- He held his office during the remainder of the reign of Henry VI, to whom he was loyal; as a result, he was attainted of treason in the first parliament of Edward IV. When Henry subsequently fled into Scotland, he is supposed to have appointed Fortescue, who appears to have accompanied him in his flight, Lord Chancellor of England. In 1463 Fortescue accompanied Queen Margaret and her court in their exile on the Continent, and returned with them afterwards to England. During their wanderings abroad the chancellor wrote for the instruction of the young Prince Edward his celebrated work 'De laudibus legum Angliae'. On the defeat of the Lancastrian party he made his submission to Edward IV, from whom he received a general pardon dated Westminser, 13 Oct 1471. The exact date of his death is not known.
- Fortescue's masterly vindication of the laws of England, though received with great favour by experts, did not appear in print until the reign of King Henry VIII, when it was published, but without a date.

Android: DSLRNinja Rate My Picture Game!
I was planning this application since I made the histogram one. Actually, my initial idea was to make a "histogram game" where the user would find out if their photo histogram was considered "good" by the software. I had some of the app written by copying existing code and modifying it, but I kept putting the project off. In retrospect I probably felt the app wasn't exciting enough to bother … Continue reading

I can't stand those apps that unnecessarily require extreme permissions for their functionality. Sorry there isn't any reason your … Continue reading

text: Los Angeles multi-genre trio Pollyn turn in their latest visual for "Mysterons" – the band's very own rendition of Portishead's Dummy cut. The track stems from their appreciation for '90s electronica music and since Radiohead has become "less trip hop," the group decided to pay tribute to their early influences. "Mysterons" further serves as the B-side for their latest single "How Small We Are." The accompanying visual was directed by the band's Adam Jay Weissman and is a shadow-filled companion to its A-side. The clip was shot with only a flashlight on a pitch black stage and shows the band performing the tune. Look out for Pollyn's forthcoming album Living in Patterns, due October 4, whereas the single "How Small We Are" with "Mysterons" is available on iTunes.

Reigning American Idol winner, David Cook, is coming to Penn State York's Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center) on March 24 at 7:30 p.m. as part of "The Declaration Tour – 2009." Tickets go on sale Saturday, Jan. 31, at 10:00 a.m.
This is Cook's first solo tour to promote his debut self-titled album, released in November 2008 and is his first time on the road since headlining the American Idol season seven tour. Cook exclusively unveiled his tour dates on AOL Music's PopEater.com on Friday, Jan. 23.
Cook entered the Billboard charts at number three with David Cook (19 Recordings / RCA Records). The Rob Cavallo produced album also debuted as the number one album on the digital album chart and is the best debut from an American Idol winner since 2006. The first single, "Light On," dominated the AOL Top 40 radio chart with eight (nonconsecutive) weeks at number one. In late September "Light On" premiered on AOL's music pop culture news site, PopEater.com, receiving over 1 million plays in less than week.
Rolling Stone Magazine deemed Cook "the most imaginative American Idol talent to date."
Cook's first single, "The Time of My Life" recently went platinum with over 1 million tracks sold. "The Time of My Life" is not only the biggest single debut but the highest selling coronation single in the show's history. Cook is the 34th American Idol contestant to appear on a Billboard chart.
Cook kicked off 2009 by performing for troops during a USO tour. He visited seven different bases, singing songs off his self-titled album.
"The Declaration Tour – 2009" kicks off Feb. 13 in Tallahassee, Florida, and will continue nationwide hitting various college campuses and major venues.

I really like this fragrance and glad the price has dropped and it will be readily available.
Thank you, Mike.

so the original buyers have been duped??? paying more for half the content!
Supposedly the first batch was a higher concentration than an EdP.
I like Frapin Caravelle Epicee, Terre du Serment, and Serge Lutens Chène. Do you think I will like 1697?
I see it is now up to $180 at MiN, but $155 at Luckyscent.

Tipton rod question for rifle and shotgun

> Tipton rod question for rifle and shotgun
November 24, 2012, 01:19 AM
Can I get a Tipton rod that I can use for my .30 rifles and 12 gauge shotgun? I see that the tips are different sizes but would like to buy only one for all my long gun cleaning needs.

I have a standard Tipton rod with tips from 22 to 45 cal which could be used for your 12 gauge if you used a thick piece of cloth on the end for the 12 ga. But why not have more than one? Or a 12 ga bore snake? I also have a separate rod for my 17 HMR and 5 different bore snakes for different calibers and I have a sectional shotgun outfit that I use for my 20 and 12 ga. I have found that the tasks are much more pleasant when I have good equipment. I take the bore snakes to the range and on p-dog shooting trips. Plus the bore snakes work well when I don't want to take the time to disassemble my pistols.

Rifle rods are usually threaded no. 8-32, shotgun 5/16-27.
Oh, my, whatever are we to do about it?
"A thick piece of cloth?"
How about a 5/16-#8 adapter as found in the Midway catalog 633-734.
Me? I have a cheap sectional aluminum rod and some 12 ga brushes to scrub out the plastic fouling but usually I just swab out with a Tico Tool. I guess a bore snake is the current gimmick.

text: Congrats on the improvements. I too suffer from PF. It's improved a lot since I started PB. I still notice I have tight lower calf muscles when I stand first thing in the morning. I suspect that it's been caused by having to stand on my tippy toes all the time to reach stuff (I'm really short). I'm trying to make a concerted effort to stretch them to help recover completely from the PF. And thank you for the Youtube suggestion.

Tom Lehman, one of the worlds finest golfers, has struggled with perfection.
For years, he tried to achieve it. When he failed, he felt guilty, ashamed, depressed.
Then, in 1998, after the missteps had stacked up, Lehman came to the back nine, a realization that signaled the start of what he called the second act of his life: God had forgiven him; now it was time to forgive himself.
This was the core of his message Tuesday morning at the annual Charleston Leadership Prayer Breakfast, an ecumenical Christian event that drew about 1,000 to the Charleston Area Convention Center.
The breakfast, now in its 11th year, is organized by the nonprofit Charleston Leadership Foundation, attended by politicians, business leaders and others, and supported financially by local corporations, churches and individuals.
The mission of the prayer breakfast is to encourage Christian leaders of the community to come together in a forum designed to introduce people to the Gospel and learn about how Christ can change lives. The effort also raises money for Lowcountry Orphan Relief, Be A Mentor and the Lunch Buddy program.
Lehman described his effort to reconcile the selfish sport of golf, which is totally me-focused, with the imperative to help others.
The answer, he said, came in 1990 at a tournament in Wichita, Kan. He was married with a newborn daughter and totally broke, he said. He hired an inexperienced young caddy, a former wrestler, out of sheer necessity, and went on to win the tournament. It was customary to pay ones caddy 10 percent of the prize money, a most-welcomed $20,000, but Lehman hedged, he said. After all, the caddy did little but tow the bag, and it was Lehman who did everything, against the odds, to win.
But custom was custom, so Lehman wrote the boy a check for $2,000, felt good about doing the right thing, then promptly forgot about the transaction.
Not long afterwards, Lehman received a letter from the kid. In it the wrestler explained that some time before, he had gotten involved with drugs and gangs, that he had messed up his life, but that he had straightened himself out thanks to a good coach and newfound faith.
The $2,000 he received from Lehman was just enough to pay for the Bible school he wanted to attend.
As a golfer, its hard to see the big picture, Lehman said. All the boy needed was $2,000 to pursue a dream. There was no way for me to know, but God knew. And this changed my perspective about helping others. That 1990 tournament was a huge step for me in understanding why I wanted to play golf.
Still, the guilt did not abate, Lehman said. He continued to strive for perfection. He experienced bursts of rage. He felt the weight of human experience accumulating on his shoulders. Until, suddenly, he understood. God was telling him to stop trying so hard. No one is perfect.
The golf champion was welcomed to Charleston by breakfast organizer Jerry Young; the Charleston Southern University Praise Band; Mayors Joe Riley and Keith Summey; the Rev. Curt Bradford, who offered a prayer for the community; Jennifer Luiken, who provided a musical interlude; and Evening Post Publishing Co. CEO John Barnwell, who introduced Lehman.
Riley spoke of the generosity of the faithful.
Givers pray, and those who pray give. Theyre both humble acts, sometimes public, sometimes private, he said.
Summey read a passage from Deuteronomy about God and Joshua crossing over Jordan.
The Lord himself goes before you. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged.
Bradford prayed for leaders.
I pray that the character of Christ will be their guide, he said.
But it was Lehman, with his story of discovery, faith and imperfection, who hit the ball to the green.
If it took a perfect person to make a leader, there would be no leaders, he said, later summarizing his life of faith with this: I am a Christian because I realize I need to be forgiven for all the boneheaded things I do.
About 1,000 people showed up for the annual Charleston Leadership Prayer Breakfast, organized by the Charleston Leadership Foundation.×

South Africa's post-apartheid constitution has been widely admired and constantly referenced by international scholars, and especially international human rights scholars, for its comprehensive embrace of gender equality. But the commitment to gender equality has been tested by other liberatory discourses, including African nationalism and cultural and religious autonomy. This Article examines the evolution of South African legislation and constitutional jurisprudence in the face of competing imperatives, for example, between equality, legal pluralism, customary law/religious law, and the recognition of polygamy. In particular, it focuses on the Recognition of Customary Marriages Act, a statute that purports to regulate customary marriages, including the establishment of such marriages, as well as their termination. The Article evaluates the influence of this statute, if any, on gender equality, and whether its purported protection of women in polygamous marriages in fact results in such protection.

Homemade Chicken Noodle SoupAngie McGowan
Yesterday I shared with you some great drinks to help fight off a cold. Today I wanted to share grandma's penicillin, a.k.a. homemade chicken noodle soup. This is my own version of the classic recipe. I also have another version that uses wide egg noodles and mushrooms you can find here. And I have a special recipe for chicken and dumplings that I make when my family is sick and I feel well. They love it, but I only have the energy to make the homemade noodles when I'm not under the weather.
You can also make this soup in the crock pot. I almost always do. To convert this recipe for the crock pot, simmer the chicken and vegetables on low for 6 – 8 hours. Remove chicken and pick from bones and remove skin. Add chicken back to crock pot and turn to high. When broth and chicken is simmering, add noodles. Keep on high and cook noodles until tender, about 20 minutes. Then turn crock pot to off, so the noodles don't cook to pieces.
Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe
2 lbs chicken things
1 large onion, chopped
2 cups chopped celery
2 cups chopped carrots
1 tablespoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary, marjoram)
3 cloves garlic
olive oil
salt and pepper
About 4 quarts chicken stock, more or less depending on how much broth you like
1 lb skinny egg noodles
Preheat a large soup pot. Salt and pepper chicken. Drizzle with olive oil. Brown chicken on each side. Add onions, celery, carrots and garlic. Add chicken stock and herbs. Bring to a boil and turn to a simmer. Simmer on low for 2 – 3 hours, or until chicken is completely done and falling off the bone.
When chicken is done, remove from pot and place on a plate. Remove skin and pick meat from bones. Discard skin and bones and add meat back to pot. Bring chicken broth and chicken to a boil over high heat and add noodles. Cook for 12-15 minutes, or until noodles are done.
Turn heat off when noodles are done and remove from heat.
