Case Comment: Campell v. Clinton: The 'Implied Consent' Theory of Presidential War Power is Again Validated
Geoffrey S. Corn
South Texas College of Law
Military Law Review, Vol. 161, No. 202, September 1999
This comment analyzes the decision by the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals in the case of Campbell v. Clinton. It summarizes the rationale for the dismissal of this legislator challenge to the President's decision to order combat operations against Serbia, and analyzes how this decision ratifies the "implied consent" theory of congressional participation in war powers decisions.

WARREN Opening their communities for business often is a favorite mantra for politicians running for office.
Since taking office in January, Mayor Doug Franklin began a concentrated effort in getting to know local businesses and industries. He expects to continue this practice through much of his first year in office.
Franklin, who has served as a councilman, council president, safety service director and now mayor since winning his first election 22 years ago, says the city's future depends on its relationship with both existing businesses and his ability to attract new businesses to the city.

"I initially had a meeting with a group of leaders in banking and the financial services industry and a couple weeks later with people in manufacturing," Franklin said.
The purpose of the meetings is to establish new relationships with businesses and to see what they believe the city can do to help them.
"Too often governments, in general, takes businesses for granted," he said. "I want business leaders to know their needs are high on this administration's priority list. We are only a phone call away."
Franklin, working with the Youngstown / Warren Regional Chamber, has been setting up meetings with business leaders, initially by categories and later Franklin expects to be doing individual meetings.
Warren Regional Chamber President Thomas Humphries said this is not the first time the chamber has worked to set up meetings to elected officials and the business community.
"We did something similar to this for Tim Ryan when he first was elected," Humphries said. "We wanted to establish an open exchange of ideas between businesses and elected officials, without there being an emergency situation happening."
Humphries meets with the mayors of the valley's larger communities on a periodic basis to discuss ways how the chamber can help them in business retention and attraction.
"I expect Franklin to have three to four more meetings with business groups," Humphries said.
In the two sets of meetings already held, Franklin said the issues most emphasized by the business leaders he met with were in the areas of safety and education.
"They are concerned about the safety of their employees and their business properties," Franklin said. "I took their concerns to the police chief and we agreed to make officers more visible. It is something we could provide an immediate response."
Making sure that neighborhoods are safe make employee and residents feel better as they are traveling to and from work.
"It they feel safe in this community, they'll purchase homes," he said.
Police Chief Tim Bowers said he has separately met with some businesses and community organizations and suggested how they could harden their organizations.
"We suggest ways they can make it more difficult for their properties to be broken into or vandalized," Bowers said. "We (the department) would be willing to meet and talk to any group that contacts us."
Murray Miller, president of Trumbull Industries, expressed optimism the meetings are representing the first step in a sustained relationship with this administration. Miller has been in Warren for 10 years.
"This is the first time that anyone in the city has initiated an outreach to the business community that I'm aware of," Miller said. "I found it refreshing. I hope this translates to a better, more prosperous community."
Although recognizing that education is outside of Franklin's power, Miller agreed that a number of people at the meeting felt that is something that must be addressed.
"I know that education is not a direct responsibility of the mayor," he said. "However, over the years, many businesses have found it challenging to find, recruit and keep people trained in specific skills."
"Having an available, trained work force makes it easier for businesses to grow."
Scott Pape, president of Kenilworth Steel, described his meeting with Franklin as one to get to know the new mayor.
"It allowed me to look him in the eye and tell him we want to be a good corporate citizen," Pape said. "My feeling was he was sincere in his concerns about building better relationship with area businesses."
Pape said is not a retail business in which people go into their offices to purchase its products. It is a business-to-business corporation.
"We need manufacturing jobs in Ohio and western Pennsylvania," Pape said. "Area mayors need to make manufacturing and significant points of their agendas They need to balance the need of communities and the business in them to encourage the growth of a permanent job base."
Franklin said his administration will look for ways to create incentives for businesses to move into Warren.
"We, as a city, are not job creators," Franklin said. "The best creator of jobs are those companies that are already located in a city. I believe, working together, there may be some things that can be done to make it easier for entrepreneurs to create new business and to bring existing businesses here."
As mayor, Franklin says he has the power to make city departments more business friendly.
"I talk to department heads on a day-to-day basis," he said. "We will demand professionalism and accountability throughout the organization."
The city recently received a federal grant that will allow a review of all of the vacant and abandoned properties within its boundaries. It will also review all of the city's zoning and building regulations.
"If we can take care of many of the little things that affect businesses, it will help create a better environment," he said.
Franklin suggests that while a mayor may not be able to significantly alter state and federal regulations that business owners and industries find frustrating he can use his office to lobby in their behalf.
"We do not want to get in the way of businesses," he said. "We want to be good neighbors."

European equities rose and peripheral bond yields fell on Friday on growing expectations of ECB action to bring down Spanish and Italian borrowing costs, but concerns about possible German opposition to such a move kept risk appetite in check. Euro zone governments and the European Central Bank are preparing to intervene on financial markets, French daily Le Monde reported, citing unnamed sources. The report came a day after ECB President Mario Draghi boosted risk assets across the globe with his pledge do whatever it takes within the bank's mandate to defend the single currency. "Now all of a sudden everybody thinks he (Draghi) is going to start printing. He has backed himself into a corner, if he doesn't come up with anything then he could be in trouble," said Ioan Smith, strategist at Knight Capital. − Reuters
Dominant Social Theme: We will never surrender! We will fight them everywhere! Why? … we don't know.
Free-Market News: The market has rejected the euro and the EU. Now Draghi proposes to reject the market. In a groundbreaking reversal, he has indicated he will print currency to buy euro-zone sovereign debt.
Mario Draghi, president of the European Central Bank (ECB), will do "whatever is necessary" to ensure a solvent euro. Draghi made the comments at an investor conference at the Olympics. Professional investors like John Fox, director of research at Fenimore Asset Management, believe it may mark a turning point in the four-year old crisis.

Many of Christopher Walken's most memorable roles could be described as quirky, weird, outlandish and even violent. The persona lends an edge to his villains, certainly, but cast him against type, and the results are often brilliant.
In "A Late Quartet," now playing at the Montgomery Cinema in Belle Mead and the County Theater in Doylestown, Pa., Walken plays a very sane, very dignified character, a large spirit who takes life's difficulties philosophically. In a sense, he seems to follow the advice of famed cellist Pablo Casals, invoked in the film, to focus on what's transcendent and ignore the rest.
"It's the story of a successful string quartet having its 25th anniversary and tour," says Walken. "I play the cellist and the oldest member of the group, the founder of the group, and I find out that I'm in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. And I'm going to have to replace myself, basically. It's the story of the implications of that for the other (members of the) group. It's a story, really, of a family, I think, and how when something happens to one member of it, how it can just throw everything out of whack."
His turn as Peter Mitchell is refreshingly understated. Whether receiving bad news from his doctor or having his furniture menaced as fellow musicians trade punches in his Manhattan apartment, Peter is living on a higher plain, as evidenced by the life he has made for himself — teaching, playing Beethoven, visiting museums, surrounding himself with beautiful objects.
That's not to say there isn't a lot going on under the surface. Occasionally his eyes betray him, as when the ensemble threatens to fall apart, or he listens to a record of his late wife (played in the film by mezzo-soprano Anne Sophie von Otter). Yet he follows a pragmatic course, even as he copes with the onset of a debilitating illness and the twilight of his career.
"A Late Quartet" portrays the personal and interpersonal conflicts a chamber ensemble, the fictional Fugue Quartet, must overcome in order to tackle one of the towering masterpieces of the literature, Beethoven's String Quartet No. 14 in C-sharp Minor, Op. 131, ostensibly the late quartet of the film's title.
Under the circumstances, however, the title might also be a play on words.
"It's transitional for them. It is late for me," says Walken. "I'm 30 years older than the rest of them. In fact, when I founded this Fugue Quartet, I had thought I was retiring from the quartet I was in earlier. And so it's kind of a new family, a new life. And I've reached the point that I can't do it anymore."
It was Beethoven's intention that the movements of his Op. 131, an endurance test of approximately 40 minutes, be played "attacca," or without pause. The players must continue to push on, even as their instruments gradually waver out of tune.
In this sense, the music becomes something of a metaphor for the ensemble itself, which must struggle for cohesion, even as extra-musical challenges create conflict among its members.
"Of course the music that we play (in the film) is very beautiful," comments Walken. "It has to be played without pause, which makes it unusual and especially difficult for me, for my character."
The music is performed on the soundtrack by Princeton University's ensemble-in-residence, the Brentano Quartet.
"You know, I had to take a lot of lessons," says Walken. "We all did. But it was, in my case, just to be able to passably simulate playing. You know, to fake it. I never got to be able to play, but I had to take a lot of lessons, for fingering and bow strokes. Faking playing the cello is different from, I think, having to fake, say, the piano or the trumpet, because the hands are so important. I just got barely good enough to be able to get by."
Walken, a multitalented performer, was first trained as a dancer. He was — and still is — outstanding. Check out his reptilian pimp in the anti-musical "Pennies from Heaven" (1981) or, more recently, his hotel lobby romp in Spike Jonze's Grammy Award-winning video of Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." With so much natural rhythm and physical grace, it is something of a surprise to find out he never learned an instrument.
"When I was a kid, you know, like a lot of kids, I took piano lessons, and guitar, but I never was able to get the knack. My hands are not, you know, they don't work well enough to do that."
Walken has appeared in more than 100 films and television shows, winning the Academy Award for best supporting actor in 1978 for his portrayal of Nick in the harrowing Vietnam drama, "The Deer Hunter." Few scenes from the decade are more clearly etched in the memory than those of Walken and Robert De Niro playing Russian roulette.
Walken also made a big impression on the academy with his poignant, Willy Loman-like turn as Frank Abagnale Sr., in "Catch Me If You Can." The role scored him a second Academy Award nomination in 2002.
But no amount of Oscar gold is required to validate Walken's presence as one of the screen's most memorable character actors of the past 35 years.
He is joined in "A Late Quartet" by an enviable cast, including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Mark Ivanir and Imogen Poots. In fact, it's tempting to describe the film as a chamber piece for actors.
"You know, the equation for me was the performance aspect," Walken offers, "and the relationship with the audience, which is something I've spent my life involved with. For me, that's where it came together.
"For me, as a musician and me as an actor, understanding, which I've done my whole life, of what it is to stand on a stage with an audience of people who've, you know, bought tickets and made an effort to get there, and dealing with the audience.
"You know, doing what you do best in a given amount of time. It's a lot like athletics, I suppose, where you have to get ready to do something in a specific amount of time and do your best. That part of it, you know, being an actor and being a musician — the being a performer part of it — is what I understood."

Originally posted on Rock the Red | Last updated 5/15/13
George McPhee is here for the long haul. (AP) Another season has come and gone with similar results for the Washington Capitals, to the point where what was going to happen eventually was very predictable. After an awful start, the Capitals rode a tremendous stretch of play by Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom, Mike Green, and Braden Holtby to the postseason, only to be knocked out in the first round once more, this time by the New York Rangers. They lost another game seven on home ice, the sixth consecutive season that they have fallen out of the playoffs before the Conference Finals and the fourth time in those six seasons they've lost in the first round. It was more of the same. The message on Wednesday at Kettler Capitals Iceplex? Not much is going to change. "I thought it was a really good season," General Manager George McPhee said, dressed in a dark blue pinstripe suit. "We improved in a lot of ways. Our coaching staff was terrific. We had a slow start but really played well down the stretch and played well in the playoffs. It didn't go our way." No, it didn't go the Capitals' way. It has yet to go Washington's way in the Alex Ovechkin era, or frankly ever, in the postseason. The Capitals have only made the Stanley Cup Final once, in 1998, when they were swept by the Detroit Red Wings in four games. Since then, they haven't even come close, especially disconcerting given the talent that they have had over the last six or seven years. Despite these rather alarming facts, the club, at both the player and management level, doesn't see any reason to change their approach in terms of player personnel. "But these guys, I'd go to war with these guys," McPhee continued. "These are good players. Where do you get another Ovechkin? Nick Backstrom is a heck of a player. Mike Green is a heck of a player. Carlson is on his way up. We've got a lot of good young players, and we'll keep going to war with them." READ ON FOR MORE ANALYSIS OF ANOTHER DISSAPOINTING SEASON. "I think it's very close," head coach Adam Oates said. "It's very hard to put your finger on it. It can happen. There is no magic formula, you just have to keep at it and hope that one day, sooner or later, it will happen." "We need to take the next step," added Backstrom, morose as ever. "But I don't really have a good answer for you. We talk about it in the locker room, but you gotta believe it. You gotta stick with it, and looking at the teams that have been winning, they've stuck with their system and their plan." That's true, to an extent. Recent Stanley Cup winners, like the Blackhawks, Kings, and Penguins, stuck to their plans to build a contender and win a championship. But they did it much faster. The Penguins took three years (2006-07 to 2008-2009) to win a title with their revitalized team after their first playoff appearance with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. The Blackhawks went only two seasons with Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, and their young guns before winning a title. And Los Angeles won their Cup within four years of drafting Drew Doughty, which completed their building core along with Jon Quick and Anze Kopitar. Washington is going on six, and with re-alignment next season hardening their task of making the postseason significantly, and the likely loss of Mike Ribeiro in free agency, there is a very real chance that it may be seven at this time next year. This isn't 2009 anymore, when the Capitals are clearly a team on the upswing with their best days ahead of them by most measures. This is a franchise that has now spent six years with more or less the same group of core players – the exception being Alexander Semin – and has yet to make it out of the second round. We hear the same thing every year: how injuries affected the club, how they ran in to a hot goaltender, how they didn't get the bounces. But is that enough to justify keeping the same course? They've tried a coaching switch three times. They've tried to tinker with the system. They've tried to alter the supporting cast. At what point do you have to make a personnel move that shakes the franchise to its foundation? Certainly, there is something to be said for organizational stability, but this just isn't working. The sample size is large enough. There has to be a point where management – including Ted Leonsis – steps back and really evaluates what has gone wrong here, and how to fix it. After all, that is part of Leonsis' "five-year plan." Unfortunately, it seems as though that management is clinging to the idea that this team is as good as they used to be. The players know they need to be better, and they said so on Wednesday. But from what McPhee said, it was obvious that no change is coming. McPhee and his boss, Leonsis, are focused on the fact that the Capitals have made the playoffs six consecutive years, and believe that it is the best course of action to make the playoffs continually, never really taking a step back to try and re-tool for a stronger push at a Stanley Cup. "We have made the playoffs six straight years and you've got to be in it to win it," the general manager said. "You make the playoffs and at the beginning of it, you think you can win a Cup." Later, when pressed on the long-term ability of his team to win when it matters, he held firm to this stance. "They've made the playoffs six years in a row, how many teams have done that? It's not easy to do in this league," he reiterated. "I think we are [built to win in the postseason], and I'm confident in that. I really like this group of players. I think we've done a lot of good things, and we keep trying to put a good team out there. One of these years we'll break through, and it will be fantastic. It will be just glorious." To answer McPhee's question, four teams have done it other than the Caps. Of the four other than Washington to make the playoffs every season for the past six, the Bruins, Red Wings, and Penguins have won a Cup (San Jose is the fourth). The Blackhawks, who have made the playoffs each of the last five seasons, have won a Cup. And the Kings, who have made the playoffs each of the last four seasons, have won a Cup. Making the playoffs is great, and McPhee is right that you have to be "in it to win it," but something is off here. Insanity, so we are told, is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Is firing McPee the answer? Probably not. There's no doubt that he has made some quizzical decisions over his tenure as GM in Washington, but it's important to note that he has made these decisions in order to please his boss more often than not. Leonsis wants to make the playoffs, and he wants a full building every night. McPhee has accomplished those goals, season in and season out, since the rebuild. People come to see the Capitals in droves, and they did so even after the lockout. The season ticket holder renewal rate remains high despite rising prices. From a business standpoint, there is no reason, at least not now, to fire McPhee. McPhee is a smart man, and he knows the game of hockey well. He knows talent. Will a new GM be better in this regard? It's tough to say. But one thing is for certain: any new GM will also feel pressure to do this Leonsis' way, in order to keep his job. Does that mean that a lot would be different? Ultimately, the reason that the Capitals have failed to reach the promised land, or come close, is a combination of several things – personnel, philosophy, coaching, and yes, some bad luck and bad bounces. But you can't base your franchise's direction on banging your head against the wall, hoping that it breaks through. You have to try new things in order to win. You have to alter the things you can control, and hope that the things you cannot control even out and fall in your favor. Until the Capitals alter their approach from the very top down, I fear that the more things "change," the more they will continue to stay the same. And that, friends, is not the way to get it done.

Sorry, can't help with your 'Adventures of ...' story, Lemmax. Have you tried posting on other Korean-orientated boards like Dave's ? Maybe someone who's actually working in Korea will have what you're looking for ? Worth a try methinks.
Meanwhile, I'll offer the following:
Home - podcasts with texts for learners to read and practice. Very basic level (which you say your M4s are). You could extend this by using storyboards (e.g. Chris Fairbanks - Storyboards ) so the learners get to recycle the TL and/or do their own stories.
Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab - For ESL/EFL Students Randall's listening lab. Some useful audio files with texts.
Another suggestion is to get yourself down to a bookshop like DK and buy graded readers (with illustrations) and accompanying CD/cassette. To give you an idea, try Around The World In 80 Days. The learners can read along and listen at the same time. The storyline is engaging (important if you're teaching teenage boys) and there's plenty of spin-off activities you can do to extend the theme if you have time and motivation. I also did a graded Sherlock Holmes mystery which was a hoot. My class went on to develop their own mystery and created playscripts which they acted out.
Personally, I'm a huge fan of project work in EFL 'cuz there's so much you can do to keep the learners engaged. The combination of readers and audio seems to be under-rated in many Thai classrooms, mores the pity.

When it comes to young folks on the go, the Houston area is definitely on the map, according to Forbes, which has put together a list of the top "30 under 30" who are changing the world in fields diverse as green energy, technology, music and finance.
The Houston area's "brightest stars" on the list include 22-year-old Andrew Luck, the former Stratford High star who was the Heisman Trophy runner up and the Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year.
Here's the rest of the field, via CultureMap:
On the food and wine list is drinks guru Bobby Heugel, 28. Already a James Beard semifinalist in 2011, Forbes singled out Heugel's impressive cocktail list at Anvil Bar & Refuge.
As the self-proclaimed energy capital of the world, it's no surprise that Houston is the home of several professionals on the energy list. Dave Berry, 28, is the co-founder of Clean Line Energy Partners, and described as a"bottleneck beater … working to build long-distance transmission lines to connect wind farms with population centers." Fellow Rice alum Jeff Bishop, 29, made the list as Vice President of Business Development at EDP Renewables, with wind projects in Morocco, Spain, Botswana and the U.S. under his belt.
Berry and Bishop represent Houston's work in clean energy, but traditional oil and gas interests were also represented. Twenty-six-year-old Thomas Steiner, a project manager who "works directly with top execs" at deepwater driller Rowan Companies, also made the Forbes list.
Still feeling pretty good about yourself? There's a 15-year-old media mogul on the list, a 17-year-old inventor from Dallas and several entrepreneurs who aren't legally allowed to drink alcohol.

I've got to agree with the NRA on this one. Different rules for each county would be an absolute nightmare.
June 24, 2011, 02:21 PM
I undestand the NRAs point of view, but some progress is better than none.
June 24, 2011, 02:26 PM
Not necessarily. If there's some progress, that might be enough for some people and the demand would die down. Then a statewide bill would never have a chance. Then you're stuck with this proposed unmanageable mess.
June 24, 2011, 03:00 PM
Unmanageable mess? How so?

Every county having it's own laws about requirements for a carry permit, what permits to recognize, where you can and can't carry, etc would be a colossal mess. Can you imagine one county only recognizing permits issued by that county, but not by neighboring counties? Will some counties offer permits for citizens of other counties, and where are those then valid? Law enforcement can't keep up with the intricacies of CCW permits when they're statewide, I can't imagine what will happen when they tried to enforce these kind of laws.
Really, how often do you even realize when you cross a county line? It would make driving across the state with a firearm virtually impossible.

Scimmia has a good point. Here in NY we have a statewide law, except for the draconian practices of NYC. Trouble is, each county interprets things as they see fit, so the state laws are in effect up to local officials. For instance, the state requires an education class for carry permits, but local officials sometimes limit availability then deny permits on that basis. Or, some counties grant carry permits while others only grant range permits, allowing mere citizens to carry only to and from an approved range. Other counties limit the number of pistols you may own, and so on and so on. I would strongly suggest you act as a group, and get the strongest law you can that applies statewide. Otherwise, you will each hang independently. Where have I heard that before?
June 24, 2011, 05:52 PM
Yeah, county-by-county isn't good.
You may be legal in one county and breaking the law in another. You need statewide uniformity.
Sometimes progress in the wrong direction isn't progress at all and in the end can hurt the cause.
June 24, 2011, 06:22 PM
Unfeasible, unfortunately. I cross through four counties regularly in WY, and we're a lot bigger than Illinois. I can't imagine a different set of laws in each county. Even state-by-state there are regular enforcement errors.
No, a victory in Illinois must be all, or nothing. Statewide carry WILL win in the state, it's just going to be a long, bitter struggle.

What if every county recognized all other counties.......except for Cook County! That would be sweet justice...........

National Rifle Association lobbyist Todd Vandermyde disagreed.
"We understand and are sympathetic to people who live outside the Chicago metropolitan area, and we feel the state is being dictated and run by the city of Chicago through the General Assembly. That said, our review of this bill is that it's a bad approach and not something that warrants our support," he said Thursday. "You could have 102 different rules in 102 different counties. The concept seems greatly unworkable, and it raises a lot more questions than problems it solves."

That would be a nightmare!
June 25, 2011, 05:00 AM
agreed that a county approach is the wrong way to go about this....Its already too easy to unintentionally run afoul of gun laws, especially in a place lie Illinois. This is an unworkable solution that would only complicate matters further
June 25, 2011, 11:03 AM
Make Chicago A seperate state. End of problem! let them wallow in misery of their own makeing.
June 26, 2011, 02:35 PM
Here's my plan of action: Every representative who votes for concealed carry in Illinois gets a donation from me. Every one who votes against earns a donation to whoever runs against them in the next election.
Illinois' Chicago dictatorship has to end sometime...right?

stonecutter: That is bordering on bribery. Kind of like the problem we have with federal campaign funding. The only guys who have a chance are the guys who can spend millions to campaign.
Badlander: It is easy for you to say, sitting down there in Florida. Depriving millions of people of their 2nd amendment rights just because they live in a certain area is not what our founding fathers had in mind. Especially when people in those areas are the ones who are most likely to need to defend themselves. Wouldn't it be great to read a headline like: "Drive by shooter in Chicago's south side gunned down by concerned citizens"
July 6, 2011, 05:18 PM
Badlander is sitting down here in Fla after living in Illinois for 36 years. Still have my old foid card. I replaced it with A CCW. The people of chicago deserve what they got. (Rohm Emanuel) For gods sakes! The people downstate have put up with Chicagos Bull.... for to long. Sorry If you live there but thats how I feel!

I've read damn near all of HB3794 and I came to the conclusion that it sucks big time. It's may issue that will require license holders that are carrying to violate their fifth amendment right if they happen to unknowingly drive into unfriendly territory and be pulled over for a simple traffic violation.
I emailed the three sponsors of the bill and the lead sponsor, Mitchell, agrees that HB148 is superior. HB3794 was something they whipped up to make some constituents happy. HB3794 isn't going anywhere until after all the current litigation has been concluded and only if HB148 goes belly up.

ITALY- Chinque Terre.
Trip Start Apr 14, 2010

I spoke to various people about it, to find the best way to get there and how to walk it.
Most feedback indicated that it was easily do-able in one day.
"...one day??? That can't be right! How can I make this longer?!..."
So instead of just walking for just one day through only the four main fishing villages, I decided to extend it "a little". After lots googling, I took the train from Venice to Milan. One night there to have a look around town. The Duomo church is worth a tour! Next day a train from Milan to Levanto, the start of my walk. Walked into town and picked up a map from the Local Tourist Office (detailed enough) and some food from a local shop in the side street. The walk starts from the southern end of the beach.
The path travels through a "less-traveled" part of the Chinque Terre with few others around. However, once you get to the first fishing town, this is where the pedestrian traffic starts.
Stayed the first night in Ostello Corniglia. Suggest booking ahead. Nice, clean hostel. Plenty of alternatives available.
Took the high level path in the morning, as the lower track was closed for maintenance. The views from up high are worth the climb. Recommend doing a high level section at some stage, even if the lower track is fully open!
Made Portovenere by the afternoon, then took a bus to La Spezia and a train trip to Florence for a few nights. Florence is a great place and easily worth a few days on its own.
Pick up food from shops along the way and have sea view lunch anywhere you wish.
This area really is worth a short detour if you are in this part of Italy.
Still go there from elsewhere in Europe and combine it with Florence, etc.
Other than booking the accommodation, very little pre-planning required.
Highly recommended!

HANDBOOK OF SOCIAL ECONOMICS, Jess Benhabib, Alberto Bisin, Matthew Jackson, eds., Vol. 1A, The Netherlands: North-Holland, pp. 69–91.
Johnson School Research Paper Series No. #05-09
This chapter was prepared for Elsevier's Handbook of Social Economics (edited by Jess Benhabib, Alberto Bisin, and Matthew Jackson). It brings together some of the recent empirical and experimental evidence regarding preferences for social status. While briefly reviewing evidence from different literatures that is consistent with the existence of preferences for status, we pay special attention to experimental work that attempts to study status directly by inducing it in the lab. Finally, we discuss some economic implications.

What can I say... A LOT of people wanted them. I think the Wii will do suprisingly well.
Everywhere, i mean like the 30 places i've called, walmart, target, toyrus, cc, bestbuy, frys... they're all sold out. I thought there was suppose to be an abundance of wii's?
It's no big deal, i definitely did not want it bad enough to warrant camping, or even get to a store early, but i thought these suckas were gunna be out there like they grew on trees.
Any ideas when the next shipments are coming in? All the places around here say maybe next week.

Thanks Wiired for the awesome sig
Yep, same thing happened to me I thought there would be a lot of wiis at the stores near me, but no prevail. I regret camping but oh well tomorrow's another day.
Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll
Wii Will Wii Will Rock You!
Well it is an abundance compared to pretty much every other launch ever.
yeah same here i expected alot to be in stores but i didnt get red steel so i called around almost everywhere and they were out of red steels and nunchuks, man am i ever pissed, the one game i was actually looking forward too i didnt get. but oh well i got my wii.
Wii Launch Purchases :
- Wii System
- Call Of Duty 3
- Legend Of Zelda : Twilight Princess
- Marvel : Ultimate alliance
Nintendo has a list of online stores which carries them and i went threw it visiting every one untill i got to sears.ca (im canadian) AND THEY HAD THEM. They have not emailed me for confirmation but i think i just got a wii at 900 on sunday night!
Ya everyone on here was saying that going at 4pm on saturday was too early but I ended up going at 7pm friday (I was the first one although some one else got there within two minutes of me) and at 4pm on saturday there was already 40 something people in line and there was only 20 Wii's.
Yeah, I couldn't find any nunchucks today. Most places had like 6-10 Wiimotes, but no nunchucks.Originally Posted by patrickj
Sorry for bumping.
I can relate to this 100%
So about a month ago i was at the EB Games near my house and was talking with one of the workers there as im playing a demo for Rainbow Six : Vegas and i ask him whats the new details on the wii and how do i go about pre-ordering one. He says, "we arent doing any pre-orders on the system, but las vegas alone is getting well over 200,000 of them so im sure you wont have any problem getting one." So im thinking alright cool. I'll just swing by first thing in the morning on sunday and buy mine.
Well yesterday night i was on my way to my friends house for his birthday, and i decided to stop by EB Games, the same one i went to before. I go inside and start chatting with the workers and the same kid who i talked to before was there. So jokingly i say "So i guess its going to be madness here tonight." He says, "Not really, we only got enough wii's in for our pre-orders". I just sit there and stare at him, then say "Dude, i thought you told me you werent pre-ordering the wii's" He turns his back to me and goes "Yeah, well thats what i thought...i was wrong" So i didnt bother with them at all today, i went around to the 8 other stores within a mile of my house and each one had a sign on the front door "Wii's and PS3's SOLD OUT!!!"
Has anyone heard anything on a new shipment date? I've been told tuesday of next week, but nobody says if its Tuesday (11/21) or tuesday (11/28)
AHHHH Frustration FTL!!!

a <- a xor b; b <- b xor a; a <- a xor b;and the straightforward way also requires 3 instructions (3 movs):
tmp <- a; a <- b; b <- tmp;You may be right - the second two movs can be done in parallel in the second version - but it also requires another register. (This is offtopic, feel free to delete). -- ScottDe I nearly offered up a variant of this, and decided to post the perl instead (lest folks think I'm needlessly picking on C). I used to use it during link traversal. In the 20 years that have passed since I last used it, I've forgotten the details, but here's the awful hack: keep the intermediate result (a^b) in the link, and xor against it to get either the next cell or the target of the link. It effectively lets you keep two pointers in one address. At the time, the memory saved was way more expensive than the extra cpu cycles consumed. --TomStambaugh As written, I am fairly sure the C/C++ has undefined meaning. It modifies 'a' twice without an intermediate SequencePoint, which is a no-no. That is correct - there is no sequence point (see appendices C and D of C99), so the expression is undefined. It could be rewritten with each XOR as a separate statement. --DanielKnapp So would a ^= (b ^= (a ^= b)); be useful then? -- j That still doesn't contain any sequence points, so is still UB in c || c++. The correct version would be a^=b; b^=a; a^=b; I imagine avoiding a temporary can be a good optimisation if you are short on registers. If you write it out in full, I don't think it's much worse than other extreme optimisations. Use of "x = ***px" often signifies a much deeper problem because those indirection levels probably correspond to something in the real world, which would mean the code is cutting across abstraction boundaries. -- DaveHarris The main point in using this construct:
#define swap(x,y) x^=y^=x^=ywas that it didn't use a temporary variable. Therefore it worked no matter what the type of x and y was. It just saved you the trouble of defining swap_int(int x, int y) and swap_float() and swap_double(). The use of XOR protected you from overflows which could arise if you used +/- operations. -- zvr That macro definition will be trouble:
#define swap(x,y) x^=y^=x^=y int ar[N]; int *start = ar, *end = ar + NUMELEM(ar) - 1; while( start < end ) { swap(*start++, *end--); }
void swap(int* a, int* b) { *a = *a ^ *b; *b = *b ^ *a; *a = *a ^ *b; }Maybe some crazy guy does this to save memory. Now, if someone calls this function like this, everything should work fine.
swap(&a[i], &a[j]);However, think about what happens if i == j. That's an astute observation. However, wrapped in the reversal loop you can get protection from that. I suspect that all the bus access makes the xor-swap less efficient than a traditional temp-swap. If your constraint is register availability, it's a nifty solution. OK, let's annotate:
void swap(int* a, int* b) { // *a == *b *a = *a ^ *b; // *a = 0 *b = *b ^ *a; // *b = *b *a = *a ^ *b; // *a = (0 ^ *b) = *b }In other words, if a[i]==a[j], absolutely nothing happens, precisely as you'd expect. Try again with the i==j case. Right, I missed this case: if i==j, then you have an aliasing problem, thus:
void swap(int* a, int* b) { // a == b *a = *a ^ *b; // *a = 0 *b = *b ^ *a; // *b = 0 *a = *a ^ *b; // *a = 0 }

Time finally ran out today for the venerable Redpath Mansion on Du Musée St.
Crews arrived this morning to demolish the building — unsafe structure to some, and heritage building to others.
A representative with Heritage Montreal, which has been spearheading a drive to save the building, says it took but a few hours to knock the structure down to its foundations.
The mansion was built in 1886 to house the Redpath family, which is best known to Montrealers for its sugar refining business.
Earlier this year, Quebec's culture minister, Maka Kotto, briefly halted the demolition, but later said the Victorian mansion "does not present a national heritage interest", and can be torn down.
The owner of the property is hoping to build a high-rise tower for McGill Unviersity students by next year.

This is a simple and empowering brain teaser that Pashen8 shared with the Tony Robbins Forum (i.e. posting board). All you have to do is come up with an empowering sentence or phrase making sure all (or almost all) of the words start with the same letter. In our version we'll each use our own initials. In the forum we were doing the alphabet and I've posted those below the game to give you plenty of great examples of how to play.
Cheating: In this game cheating is allowed. And since it's allowed it can't be cheating. Therefore it is impossible to cheat at this game and if you want to feel like you're cheating anyways just click HERE and enjoy pretending.
Winning: If you play and you enjoy it then we all win.
Remember: The object of the game is to create original empowering quotes starting all or most of the words in the quote with the letter of your initials. For example my name is Lollie Jane McLain. In my case I would write three quotes, one using L's, one using J's and one using M's. Or I'd do any one or two of the three. Whatever.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Summer: a time of rest and relaxation, peace and quiet, solitude and—wait, who are we kidding? This is Denison. We've been too busy enjoying our students and alums to enter summer mode just yet.
But we can't complain. Between Commencement, Reunion Weekend, and the current sessions of June Orientation (June-O) occurring on campus, the past month has shown the best of what Denison has to offer.
With 422 first-years (of the 630 enrolled students in the class of 2018) planning on exploring campus with their parents over the next couple of weeks, we are already thinking about the next semester. And we're excited.
For more than 40 years, June-O and the college's First-Year Program have been helping incoming students take their first steps as Denison students. This includes scheduling classes, connecting with professors, meeting current students and alumni who serve on the June-O staff, and, perhaps most important, getting to know their future classmates.
And June-O isn't students' only opportunity to get accustomed to life on the Hill. The First-Year office also offers an Aug-O program; an outdoor orientation program that allows students to head off on a camping adventure with fellow first-years and faculty; a pre-orientation program for international students; and the Paving the Way Program through the Office of Multi-Cultural Student Affairs; among others.
As President Adam Weinberg said during the first session of June-O last week, "I rarely pull rank, but I wanted to be the first one to say: Welcome to the family. Welcome to Denison. We're excited to have you here, and now that I'm almost done with my first year at Denison, I'm thrilled that there are going to be people who started after I did."
Welcome, Class of 2018!

The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board has codified its final views on how auditors should maintain their independence from tax services, after a three-year debate over unintended consequences.
In a meeting last week, the Board adopted an amendment to Rule 3523, Tax Services for Persons in Financial Reporting Oversight Roles, narrowing the timeline on tax services that a firm cannot provide to an audit client to preserve independence or to avoid an apparent or actual conflict of interest. As originally adopted, the rule said an auditor would not be regarded as independent if the firm provides tax services to those close to the financial-reporting process during the audit and professional engagement period.
Through comments and further study, however, the Board later determined that providing tax services to those close to financial reporting prior to a professional engagement does not necessarily impair... To get the full story, subscribe now.

Sovereignty as Discourse
Robert L. Tsai
American University - Washington College of Law
Constitutional Commentary, Vol. 25, p. 157, 2008
American University, WCL Research Paper No. 09-33
This is a review of Howard Schweber's book, "The Language of Liberal Constitutionalism" (Cambridge University Press, 2007). Schweber argues that "the creation of a legitimate constitutional regime depends on a prior commitment to employ constitutional language, and that such a commitment is both the necessary and sufficient condition for constitution making." I critique the power and limits of this reformulated Lockean thesis, as well as Schweber's secondary claims that, for constitutional language to remain legitimate, it must increasingly become autonomous, specialized, and secular.

The Prairie« 360 all-terrain vehicle (ATV) offers the same leading-edge design, easy-to-use automatic transmission, smooth ride and utilitarian conveniences of the popular Prairie« 700 4x4, but in a less-expensive two-wheel drive package. Combined with its excellent ergonomics, the Prairie 360« is up for any challenge, whether it's hunting, trail riding or helping with the chores.
Power for the Prairie 360« ATV comes from an air-cooled, single cylinder, four-stroke engine displacing 362cc. Power is then transferred through the Kawasaki Automatic Power-Drive System (KAPS), Kawasaki's continuously variable transmission. With high and low forward gears plus reverse, KAPS enables the engine to operate in its optimal rpm range, giving the rider maximum torque regardless of speed or riding conditions.
The Prairie« 360 ATV utilizes dependable shaft final drive, while stopping power is provided by dual front disc brakes and Kawasaki's exclusive sealed, oil-bathed, multi-disc rear brake system. For additional stopping power, the Prairie« 360 features Kawasaki Engine Brake Control (K-EBCÖ). K-EBC uses engine compression to help slow the ATV in technical maneuvers such as crawling at low speeds over rocks or descending steep downgrades.
The Prairie« 360 rides on supple MacPherson strut front suspension with 6.7 inches of travel, while rear suspension duties are handled by a sporty, single-shock aluminum swingarm with 7.1 inches of travel. It also features a large, comfortable saddle and full-sized floor boards with adjustable footpegs for maximum comfort. Plus, steel front and rear cargo racks can carry a combined weight of 242 pounds. Other conveniences include powerful dual halogen headlights, and a hitch bracket is standard, so the rider can tow 1,100 poundsŚthe highest in its class.
As with all off-highway vehicle recreation, Kawasaki encourages ATV riders to ride responsibly and to respect the environment. Kawasaki will pay first-time buyers of a new Kawasaki ATV $100 for completing an ATV rider safety course conducted by the ATV Safety Institute (ASI). Interested consumers can call ASI toll-free at 800-887-2887.

It's the year 3000. Intelligent life in the universe has been discovered, and they've taken over the world. Welcome to the world of tomorrow!
Unfortunately, this is not the beginning of Futurama. Instead, it's the set-up for something unintentionally funny: A small rebel force of humans taking on an entire army of "intelligent" life from the planet Psychlo in the delightfully ridiculous Battlefield: Earth.

I saw it on Cult Weekend at the Uptown Minneapolis Theatre, along with my favorite bad movie The Room, on the last weekend of the month. Now, I'm going to take an unpopular position and say that Rocky Horror is not a good movie like many argue, but is so bad that it's rather entertaining. Now, before you find me with your pitchforks, at least give me a chance to explain why.

When a Saturday Night Live director decides to make a horror film, the finished product is bound to be one-of-a-kind. Now having learned this detail of James Signorelli's background, I can certainly understand what drove the creation of his ridiculous film Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. How a videotape copy wound up in my living room as a child, however, remains a mystery. I remember forcing my friends to watch it when they came over for slumber parties, and they left the next morning mildly horrified that their friend was a psycho. As I quoted every other line while watching it last weekend, their assumptions were confirmed.

Guilty pleasures are a necessary recourse for any cinephile, no matter what genre or style you gravitate towards. My poison comes in the form of the over-the-top, blood splattering films of the Sushi Typhoon production company. These films barely classify as B-movies, and one of my personal favorites is Mutant Girls Squad. This film is vulgar and has pretty poor production value, but I can't help but enjoy it just for the pure madness that it has to offer.
By Alexander Goodlive
With all the hate that The Twilight Saga gets (and rightfully so) for destroying the image of what a vampire is and should be, few realize that vampire movies have always existed outside of household Anne Rice fetish material. While it is tempting to blame the downfall of modern vampires on Stephanie Meyer, a movie came out in the 80s that, if held to the same standards, would be equally as blasphemous in the eyes of many a Hot Topic shopper.

The other day, I was reading a Business Week article about companies hiring sick-day bounty hunters [3] to check up on people out on sick leave and it gave me the idea for today's Your Take question:
How many of you have taken sick days when you weren't actually sick?
According to statistics in the article, "57 percent of U.S. salaried employees take sick days when they're not really sick—a nearly 20 percent increase from statistics gathered between 2006 and 2008." I haven't taken a illegitimate sick day in the last three years (I work for myself so it's hardly a feat) but in all my time at previous employers, I think I've only ever taken four or five sick days total. I can only remember one of them being illegitimate because I wanted to add another day to a weekend.
Now that I'm older, I don't think it's OK to lie and tell your employer that you're sick when you're not actually sick. With many employers your sick time and vacation time are rolled into one number, sometimes called PTO (paid time off), so it doesn't matter whether you're actually sick or not. In the end, you should be rewarded for performance and if you're able to perform then it doesn't really matter how much time you actually spend in the office.
Have you ever lied about being sick to skip out on a day?

ITTO, UNU Analyze REDD+ and Community Forestry in Asia
February 2013: The International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO) and the UN University Institute of Advanced Studies (UNU-IAS) have released a report, titled "Governing the Forests: An Institutional Analysis of REDD+ and Community Forest Management in Asia." The report presents a background on REDD+, explores ways to link REDD+ to community forestry, and provides lessons learned and recommendations.
The report explores case studies from Bangladesh, India and Indonesia, focusing on successful examples of forest-based climate change mitigation at the community level, and the role of public-private partnerships for community forestry and REDD+. In reviewing the case studies, the report concludes that linking community forestry and REDD+ can deliver multiple benefits from climate change mitigation and adaptation, livelihood development and strengthened sustainable forest management (SFM).
Criteria for success identified in the report include: linking community forests to international regimes, including those aimed at addressing climate change, promoting biodiversity conservation and sustainable use, as well as building strong local institutions for forest management; connecting carbon management to local forest management practices and economic activities; establishing community benefit sharing; and clarifying land tenure and resource use rights. The report also emphasizes the importance of strong monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) systems, including at the community level.

Now they are set to announce their engagement at Bangkok's Sukhothai Hotel at 10.30am on Tuesday.
A source said the couple had already become engaged and wanted to inform the public about their good news.
A good friend of Glebova told The Nation that the Canadian beauty was not only wearing an engagement ring but also confirming to friends that it was an engagement ring.
Rumours about the engagement have circulated around town since Thursday. However, Thailand's top tennis player denied it at first, saying, "I really have no idea about it. From which source did it come?"
But after having a conversation with his father Chanachai yesterday, Paradorn no longer dismissed the news but remained tight-lipped.
"I won't give an interview to any media until Tuesday. You will hear and see things at the hotel," Paradorn said in a telephone interview with The Nation.
Chanachai said he had no intention of making a public announcement about the engagement because he preferred it to be within the two households. He said Glebova's parents would attend the event and refused to disclose details about any dowry.
The very first time the public saw the two together was last year when she kissed Paradorn as a reward for beating Tim Henman in the quarter-finals of the Thailand Open, which she attended as Singha's brand ambassador.
They later met more often as the tennis player is also a brand ambassador for the brewery. Since then, they have been seen together more frequently.
In February, they admitted they were "special" friends. The Srichaphans have given the beauty queen the Thai name Piangfah and the nickname Fah.
It is expected that the couple will tie the knot by the end of the year in one of the most celebrated weddings of 2007.

Best Italian meal in Rome, I mean Florence, I mean London. I love the staff they were on the serve you right team - no pecking order just everyone making your experience special, The food is incredible the place was quiet as I was early for dinner, there were about 75% locals there not tourists which was nice. And was a sign to me they have good food regularly.more
Still my favourite Italian in Notting Hill. Very friendly staff. Pasta are always fresh and delicious. Child friendly, we return again and again.more
We found Essenza while looking for a nice meal to end our trip to London to visit our daughter. We started with a good bottle of Chianti (that became 2 bottles) as well as the calamari and antipasti for apps. Both were fantastic. The parm cheese on the antipasti plate was fantastic. I had the veal saltimbocca. Very tender and flavorful. The rest of the table had the ravioli(pretty good),...more
DELISH! We ended up coming here for a impromptu Birthday dinner. When E&O was booked, one of the waiters there suggested Ezzenza. He said it was his favorite. And know I know why!
- Delicious authentic Italian cuisine.
- So authentic I think every server was from Italy!
- Small but cozy, a great ambiance.

I'm not overly impressed with Essenza for two reasons: (1) service is horrible and (2) food is not that great.
We made a reservation for May 7th at 8pm. My husband happened to double check online around 6pm the day of and noticed that his reservation said May 10th. He called and they confirmed that they had our reservation for May 7th. We arrive, no reservation, or at least we can...more

"I went through a tremendous low," Lopez, 44, tells PEOPLE of ending her marriage of almost eight years in 2012. "But I wouldn't change anything [about my past] because it made me who I am."
Lopez says her breakup allowed her to "take a look at what was going on" and reevaluate her view of relationships.
"As women we can sometimes give ourselves away," says the star, who will perform two songs and become the first female recipient of the Icon Award at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, airing May 18 on ABC.
"I was certainly guilty of that for some time. Now I realize I am good on my own, so now I can share my life with somebody."
For the past two years, Lopez has been sharing her life with boyfriend Casper Smart, but she credits her 6-year-old twins Emme and Max for teaching her the most about love.
"I just feel like I went through a real growth spurt as a human being [when I became a mother], says Lopez, who will release her tenth studio album A.K.A. on June 17, featuring the song "First Love." "Having my babies allowed me to realize what real unconditional love was."
