By: Justin Rubin, Senior Counsel, Legal Affairs Department of the Project on National Security Reform
Tuesday, the President announced the merger of the staffs of the National
Security Council (NSC) and Homeland Security Council (HSC) within one National
Security Staff. The President, however, did not merge the Councils
themselves, instead maintaining them as two separate entities. The public discussion, and comments from White House aides, indicate that the President took this step because he could
not legally merge the two Councils without a new Congressional enactment.
A close legal analysis, however, makes clear that the President has
ample authority to merge the two entities without Congressional approval.
President's decision comes after a 60-day review of the current structures
of the HSC and NSC and whether the integration of those bodies would
enhance our nation's security. Though the
President concluded after the review that merging the HSC and NSC staffs would more effectively
integrate the instruments of national power, in contrast to many people's
expectations, he decided not to abolish the HSC. In fact, the
White House pledged to maintain the HSC "as the principle venue for
interagency deliberations on issues that affect the security of the
homeland." Though the President's decision to merge the two
staffs is a much-needed and welcome change, maintaining two separate
Councils reflects a specific choice to preserve a distinct body for
advising the President on threats to the homeland such as terrorism,
natural disasters, health-related crises and weapons of mass destruction.
confusion over the merger's legality was highlighted by Spencer Hsu's article in last Wednesday's Washington Post,
attributing to unnamed White House aides two reasons for maintaining
the HSC: "Doing so will improve state and local officials' access
to the White House and does not require an act of Congress."
While the first may be true – it is essential that state and local
officials have sufficient access to the White House homeland security
coordination body – the
second, which implies that the further integration of the Councils requires
statutory authorization, is not. The President does have the authority
to merge the Councils and his decision not to merge them should be viewed
in that light.
National Security Council and Homeland Security Council were
created by the National Security Act of 1947 and the Homeland Security
Act of 2002, respectively. The acts establish the Councils, set their membership,
make them responsible for advising the President on interagency coordination,
and create two separate staffs reporting to two separate Executive Secretaries.
Merging the two Councils, as the President's actions demonstrate,
requires two unique legal decisions: whether to merge the two Councils'
staff and whether to merge the two Councils, which both currently exist
in statute. Contrary to the view expressed in Spencer Hsu's article
and elsewhere, the President has the legal authority to do both.
the President has clear legal authority to merge the Council staffs.
While the statutes create separate NSC and HSC staffs reporting to statutorily
created NSC and HSC Executive Secretaries, the laws do not require that
the staffs, or the Executive Secretaries, be different. The President,
therefore, can merge the Councils' staffs into one staff by dual-hatting
one individual as both the NSC and HSC Executive Secretary and require
that the staff serve as a single unit reporting to that one individual.
This requires no legal change.
despite claims that merging the HSC and NSC would require an act of
Congress, the President has multiple means to effect a de facto merger of the
two Councils without a statutory change. Firstly, the Homeland
Security Act gives the President the authority to "convene joint meetings
of the Homeland Security Council and the National Security Council with
participation by members of either Council or as the President may otherwise
direct." 6 U.S.C. 496. This statute gives the President both the
authority to call joint meetings and to choose who shall participate
in such meetings – a power the President traditionally exercises,
but does not statutorily have. As a result, using this authority,
the President could merge the two Councils by designating all future
NSC and HSC meetings as joint meetings.
second option for merging the Councils would be to call meetings
of only one of them. While the Councils are tasked with advising the President,
neither the National Security Act nor the Homeland Security Act requires
the President to call meetings of either. This reflects the limits of
congressional authority: Congress has no Constitutional authority to
require the President to listen to specific individuals' or Councils'
advice. In fact, even President Truman, who signed the NSC into
existence, questioned the constitutionality of the NSC on such grounds. See
Cody M. Brown, The National Security Council: A Legal History of
the President's Most Powerful Advisors, Project on National Security
Reform 10 (2008).
As a result, had President Obama so desired, he could have merged the
Councils by placing traditional homeland security issues within the
jurisdiction of the NSC and inviting department heads, such as the Secretaries
of Homeland Security and Transportation, to relevant meetings of the
NSC as he is empowered to do by the National Security Act of 1947.
This approach would merely require not calling meetings of the HSC,
clearly within the President's constitutional and statutory authority,
and would, in effect, merge the Councils.
is curious that White House aides would cite the need for Congressional
action as a reason for the President's decision to merge the Council
staffs, but not the Councils themselves. The President has ample
authority, given to him by the Constitution and the Congress to merge
the NSC and HSC. Though we do not know, beyond the statements
attributed to White House aides, whether this was a real concern, it
should not have been. While many policy and political arguments
exist for keeping separate Councils – including enabling state and local officials'
to access the White House, maintaining
a forum focused purely on homeland security issues, allowing the President
and future presidents greater flexibility in deciding how to use the
NSC and the HSC, and, potentially, avoiding a political fight with those
in Congress who oppose merger – the need for an act of Congress is
not one of them.
Rubin's views are not necessarily representative
of PNSR's.

"Microfinancing Terrorism: A Study in Al Qaeda Financing Strategy"
(in State of Corruption, State of Chaos: The Terror of Political Malfeasance, M. Cox, ed., 2008) by
Tolga Koker (Yale University) and
Carlos L. Yordan (Drew University).
This article explains why individuals support the work of charities that support jihadist operations, even when they may not agree with these organizations' agenda. It first explains why al Qaeda and other jihadist groups use charities to raise most of their funds. It then introduces a behavioral model, arguing that individual Muslims donate
monies to Islamist charities that support jihadist causes as a response
to social pressures, in an attempt to avoid social seclusion. It concludes with policy implications in the ongoing global struggle against terrorism.

"Bank Liability Under the Anti-Terrorism Act: Dispelling the 'Routine Banking Services' Defense in Material Support Cases"
by Stephen I. Landman (Catholic University of America - Columbus School of Law).
This article evaluates civil liability for financial institutions that provide material support to terrorist organizations, analyzing the development of the ATA and related legislation proscribing material support to terrorist groups and highlighting the evolving statutory construction by looking to the body of case law surrounding lawsuits against the terrorist support network. Using the lawsuit filed on behalf of Daniel Pearl as a case study, this article concludes that a broad interpretation of the statute is not only in line with the legislative intent of the ATA, but is also the only way in which it can be effective in halting terrorist financing.

"Closure, Caution and the Question of Chilling: How Have Australian Counter-Terrorism Laws Affected the Media?"
(Media & Arts Law Review, 2009) by
Lawrence McNamara (University of Reading - School of Law).
This article considers the proposition that Australia's counter-terrorism laws restrict the ability of the media to report on matters related to terrorism and security. It begins by examining the potential effects of these laws on the media's ability to access and publish information about terrorism offences. It then presents the findings of a project that explores the actual effects of the laws. It argues that counter-terrorism laws have had substantial direct effects on court reporting and, while it cannot yet be said that there is a chilling effect, a very worrying range of issues remains and the laws have indirect effects on the media which are detrimental and complex.

"Boumediene's Quiet Theory: Access to Courts and the Separation of Powers" (Notre Dame Law Review, Vol. 84, 2009) by Stephen I. Vladeck (American University Washington College of Law). At the core of Justice Kennedy's majority opinion in Boumediene v. Bush are his repeated suggestions that habeas corpus is an integral aspect of the separation of powers. At least where habeas corpus is concerned, it seems clear from Boumediene that the purpose of judicial review appears to be as much about preserving the role of the courts as it is about protecting the individual rights of the litigants. This article takes on this "quiet theory" behind Kennedy's opinion and asks whether it might have applications beyond the unique context of habeas corpus, especially with regard to the more general constitutional right of access to the courts. Access to courts is as much about protecting the courts as it is about vindicating the individual rights of litigants. Thus, going forward, Boumediene might do more than just answer the circumstance-specific question about habeas corpus rights for non-citizens detained as "enemy combatants"; it might provide the starting point for a new theory of access to the federal courts in particular that could allow us to rethink a number of tenets of federal courts doctrine.

Master Plan
Duke's planning heritage goes back to the 1920's when the offices of Horace Trumbauer and the Olmsted Brothers laid out the buildings, roads, and landscape for both Trinity College (West Campus) and the Women's College (East Campus). Those original plans remained the only master plan for the University approved by the Board of Trustees until this Campus Master Plan, completed and approved in 2000. The 2000 Master Plan is made up of three parts: the master plan document itself, which builds upon the Principles and Goals outlined for the campus, the Illustrative Plan, a diagrammatic rendered plan of the campus showing the potential build-out of the master plan, and the Action Plans, which have become important tools in the monitoring of recent campus development in relation to the 2000 Master Plan.

The year before Pierre Pilote took over the Stetson men's tennis program the Hatters went just 4-23. Since his second season at the helm, when Pilote led Stetson to a 17-10 campaign in 1994-95, the Hatters have won at least 15 matches in a season, every year except one.
Over the course of his 21-year career, Pilote has turned the Stetson men's tennis team into one of the most successful programs at the University, and has consistently led the Hatters to high levels of success both on and off the court.
During his tenure, the Stetson men's tennis team has averaged close to 19 wins per season, resulting in a 394-134 career mark for Pilote. Both his 394 victories and the .746 winning percentage are program records. From 2006 to 2011 Pilote led the Hatters to six straight Atlantic Sun Conference Title matches.
In 2014 he guided the Stetson women to a banner season, setting the program record consecutive wins (10), while beating four opponents for the very first time en route to an 18-6 record and an appearance in the A-Sun Championship Finals.
As Director of Tennis at Stetson University, a title earned prior to the 2011-12 season, Pilote supervises both the men's and women's teams. He earned his 300th career victory with the men's squad in March of 2009, he picked up his 350th win in April of 2011, and recently garnered his 400th combined victory with both men's and women's tennis in March of 2012.
Since breaking into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Rankings in 2007, Stetson men's tennis has been ranked by the ITA in six out of the last seven seasons under Pilote. The Hatters achieved their highest ever ranking of 53rd in 2008.
Pilote has guided many student-athletes to individual success as well. In fact, Hatters have been named to the A-Sun All-Conference Teams 38 times, including 19 First Team selections. Additionally, 22 have earned All-Freshman Team honors since the award's inception in 2002.
In just the last seven season, four Hatters have been named A-Sun Player of the Year under Pilote's tutelage; Marcus Echtler (2006), Hicham Laalej (2007), and Maksim Levanovich (2012) on the men's side, while Diana Bukajeva (2014) became the first Stetson woman to receive that distinction.
Two have also earned the honor of A-Sun Freshman of the Year; Laalej (2007) and Simon Julin (2013). Echtler, who reached a national ranking of 61 in 2007, became the first Stetson player to be selected for the NCAA Individual Championships in 2006. Stetson also saw another program first in 2014 as its doubles pairing of Laurynas Antropikas and Chester Espie were given a No. 78 ranking by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
The success of the Hatters certainly hasn't only been on the court. The Stetson tennis programs have excelled in the classroom as well under Pilote. The men's team has been named an ITA All-Academic Team nine times, including each of the last six seasons, while the women's team has earned the honor seven times, including each of the last three seasons.
A total of 65 men and 44 women have been named an ITA Scholar-Athlete for achieving a GPA of 3.50 or higher the season under Pilote. In only two years of existence, the A-Sun Academic All-Conference Team – recognizing success on and off the court – has been home to four Hatters; Njal Stene (2012), Maksim Levanovich (2012), Chester Espie (2013, 2014) and Diana Bukajeva (2014).
Levanovic added A-Sun Scholar-Athlete of the Year to his list of honors in 2012. For his efforts, Levanovich earned post-graduate scholarships from both the A-Sun and the NCAA.
Before joining the Stetson coaching staff, Pilote served as the tennis director of the Pine Meadows Country Club in Eustis, Fla. While at Pine Meadows Pilote coached Ty Braswell, who was among the top 10 players 18 years of age and under in the country at the time. Pilote also served as the head tennis coach at Eustis High School from 1989-91.
Prior to his appointment at Pine Meadows, Pilote worked as the tennis professional at Club De Tennis, Tennisport, Inc., in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada from 1985-86. He also spent time as a tennis professional at the Gray Rock Inn at St. Jovite, Quebec, Canada in 1985.
Pilote was selected as one of the clinicians for the 2003 NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Youth Education through Sports (YES) Clinic. As a clinician, he participated in instructional lessons, submitted a sport skill tip for a participant handout, and provided a student-athlete to act as a group leader and mentor during sessions, along with other assigned duties. In 2005 and 2007, Pilote was selected as an NCAA representative for the first two rounds of the tennis championship hosted by the University of Florida.
In the summer of 2013, Pilote was selected to be a member of the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Tennis Committee. The committee is responsible for the administration of the NCAA Tennis Championships, as well as the selection of tournament participants.
A certified teaching professional by the U.S.P.T.R., Pilote is a 1985 graduate of the University of Sherbrooke. Pilote is a graduate of the USA Tennis High Performance coaching program.
Pilote is the proud father of an 19-year old daughter, Isabelle, a sophomore at DePaul.

In the wake of the Arab Spring, the London riots, and the growth of "occupation" movements of Wall Street, new strategies of public activism are emerging and being debated. With China's fragmented authoritarian landscape, its conscious avoidance of electoral politics, and its increasingly complex public sphere, Chinese activists — whether urban or rural, individual or collective, local or internationalised — are developing novel and complicated ways of promoting their objectives and resolving their disputes. The plethora of public "mass incidents", the crackdown on lawyers and public intellectuals of early 2011, and the development of a transgressive and satirical online culture all provide new and substantial challenges to the stability and authority of the Chinese party-state.
The conference would particularly welcome papers covering:
- the emergence of a class of individual activists who work and promote their interests outside of corporatist bodies;
- independent candidates for local election in China, and their struggles with the state;
- the party-state's response to particular well-known activists and public intellectuals (Ai Weiwei, Chen Guangcheng, Liu Xiaobo, Hu Jia, and so on) who have worked against the state;
- strategies used by individual activists (use of media, direct action, petitioning and law, etc.); and
- clashes, whether conceptual or practical, between corporatised organisations (for example, NGOs or quasi-NGOs, the state's law enforcement apparatus, including the relatively new "stability maintenance" structure) and individuals.
Beyond this, however, papers providing a comparative or strategic perspective on different forms of activism (comparing the urban and the rural, or the online and the offline, for example) would also be very much welcomed.
Paper proposals should include a title, an abstract (300 words) and a brief biographical sketch (150 words or less).
Proposals should be emailed to Dr Jonathan Benney at firstname.lastname@example.com before 31 January 2012.
Successful applicants will be required to send, approximately one month before the conference, a paper of about 5,000-8,000 words based on unpublished material.
Based on the quality of proposals and the availability of funds, partial or full funding is available for successful applicants. Full funding would cover air travel to Singapore by the most economical means, plus board and lodging for the duration of the conference. Participants are also encouraged to seek funding for travel from their home institutions.

YOUNGER WOMEN TODAY DON'T HAVE A clue about the '50s," says Judy Olausen, 49. "A woman couldn't even get a job, except as a secretary, nurse or teacher." Olausen (oh-LAW-sen), who lives in Minneapolis, has it better. She's a photographer whose lens has captured Andy Warhol, Chuck and Di and other celebs. But her greatest subject is Vivian Olausen, 72, the '50s woman she calls Mom.
One day in 1990, Olausen posed Vivian down on all fours, her back supporting a kidney-shaped plate of glass, in the living room of Mom's Wayzata, Minn., home. Mother as Coffee Table, a vision of housewifely submission, launched a series of (so far) 20 pictures depicting Vivian as Doormat, Stepford Wife and Roadkill.
Olausen, married to a postmaster's assistant, stresses that the photos (which she hopes to publish as a book by next Mother's Day) satirize a stereotype, not Vivian, a widow she describes as "always loving and patient." Very patient. Though even June Cleaver might have resented rope burns from being hoisted aloft to pose as Flying Mom, Vivian doesn't mind. "I'm just Judy's model," she says, smiling. "I leave it all up to her."
Happy Mother's Day, Mrs. O

Associated Press Writer
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- A worker advocacy group Tuesday called on New Jersey lawmakers to increase the state's minimum wage to $8.50 per hour, then require it to increase annually to keep pace with inflation.
The Raise the Wage Campaign, a coalition of 18 anti-poverty, worker rights, religious and government watchdog organizations, called the current $7.15 minimum wage insufficient to support full-time workers in New Jersey.
Despite the group's plea, key lawmakers said it's unlikely action would soon be taken to increase the minimum wage.
New Jersey has the nation's 13th highest minimum wage. In December, a state commission said the minimum wage should be increased to $8.25 per hour, which would be the nation's highest, and then boosted annually to keep pace with inflation, but lawmakers took no action and are gone for their summer break.
"Unfortunately, the cost of living doesn't take a vacation," said Jon Shure, president of New Jersey Policy Perspective. "Working people don't get time off from the struggle to support their families and build a future. The pressure only gets worse, especially for those closer to the bottom than the top of the economic ladder."
The commission found New Jersey's cost of living has risen 56 percent faster than the state's minimum wage and stated failure to increase the wage amounts to "an inflation-induced pay cut."
Businesses oppose increasing the minimum wage, saying it will boost prices and force employers to cut jobs.
"In the middle of a recession and with the cost of everything rising quickly, especially fuel, employers can't absorb the financial impact of raising the minimum wage," said Kevin Friedlander of New Jersey Chamber of Commerce. "It would cripple already struggling businesses, especially the smaller ones."
But Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine on Tuesday indicated he would back increasing the minimum wage, which last increased in the state in 2006.
"We want to make sure it is allowing our people to have at least a reasonable quality of life, and if you look at the minimum wage even at New Jersey's level after the change, it's not a living wage," Corzine said.
Senate Majority Leader Stephen Sweeney has sponsored a bill to increase the minimum wage, but said he doesn't foresee action on it this year, noting lawmakers earlier this year approved letting workers take paid leave from work as of July 1, 2009.
"We just did paid family leave, and in fairness to the business community we've got to let them breathe a little bit," said Sweeney, D-Gloucester. "I don't anticipate making a push this year."
Senate President Richard J. Codey said action to increase the minimum wage seems likely either in the fall or early next year. He also cited business concerns and the new leave law.
"The economy is bad already," said Codey, D-Essex. "We have to be considerate of that."
But Corzine said he didn't think they would be imposing "a requirement that is unreasonable."

You can attempt to make your own bread that is a bit more primalized.. I have had sucsess with this recipe http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-bread-20/ which is grain free.. I just substituted the agave nector with a tsp of brown sugar.. one teaspoon in a whole loaf of bread can't be too bad!
I don't know. I think that trying to find a substitute for non-primal food is way too close to Atkins and the denial of "oh, I can have my low-carb pasta/bread/sweets/ice cream!" instead of the acceptance of "This is how I eat now." I don't want to suggest bread substitutes. I want to suggest ditching the bread because it's seriously not good for you.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

Here's what Sally Fallon, who wrote Nourishing Traditions, says about grains: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp6aR5npHyY
Grains are not paleo, but if it keeps your wife on board I think it is worth providing her with toast for her breakfast.
OP: Why do you want a bread substitute? For taste or convenience. If you want it for taste then give it up and you'll no longer crave it. If you want it for convenience (i.e wrap things in, spread things on) then I would try the following:
eggs + cheese+almond flour mixed together well and cooked in the oven (which is used as a pizza crust) but it should work as a wrap substitute when it cools.
I remember the day I discovered that my "100% whole wheat" bread I swore on for years had HFCS. I never ever thought to check the ingredients... needless to say I ditched it ..
precision nutrition wrote an article about a month ago that i think relates to this. its directed more towards CW thinking, but the message still applies. its kind of tough love, but its the truth:

mouths til
sunsets tide

Finding music as we walk in the streets just fills us with so much joy and butterflies. The song stays till we hear something else which is equally joyful.
Joy and more joy,

I adore street musicians. It's unfortunate I have to travel to Charleston, Asheville or Atlanta to experience the joy of the "rhythm of the street".

Glad you both are having a great time. We are having a great time with the boys also. I agree with 5th Sister, it is sad that we have to travel to hear "rhythm of the street". Looking forward to going to Asheville in the spring to experience the joy.

A little Down On the Corner by CCR? That's what comes to mind reading your 160. I wonder how many people drove the same way as you and didn't even hear the music because they are just to "busy with life".

Hello Brian,
You have conveyed so much joy and happiness in just a few words.
To day I say a band playing music for the noble purpose of collecting money for a poor little girl who is to be operated for cancer.
Best wishes,

We drove by a cellist a few weeks ago, heard his music and stopped go take in the solitary concert. Best $5 I had spent in some time. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160, Brian.

You are right Brian ...I see you walking the "Beat" doing the two step to the music in the street. You are in perfect rhythm to the one clear pure note sending your positive vibe to the atmospheric blog beat generation.

How delightful, Brian. I heard a street musician today and well, shall we say, he had lots of guts? Yelling out his songs on guitar. not that great but braving the cold nonetheless. Still, it was better than nothing.

Hi! Brian...
This poem is very vivid...I can imagine doing just that...opening the window and letting "street band musician's" music in...this poem is very descriptive too!
Thanks, for sharing your 160 words...By the way, maybe it's just me, but I notice that "windows" play an important role in some Of poetry.

I love the Upcountry Farmers Market on a Saturday morning, with its flapping white tents, the happy people, the locally grown organic produce that helps you make your food dollars stretch.
I like the relationships with the vendors you see week after week. We go first to Marta, the Guatemalan lady from Coca Farm, for her fine lettuces and kale. Marta is popular for her broad, welcoming smile, so much so that when she went on vacation to her native land last year one of her helpers wore a T-shirt that echoed the refrain of customers: "Where's Marta?"
We then dart over to the booth of Neil Coshever, the Ulupalakua farmer who organized the whole operation in the back of the parking lot behind Longs Pukalani on Kula Highway, with its flowering trees and long views.
A conversation with Neil involves at least several puns and often a well-chosen aphorism from a philosopher or humorist. Neil makes a "Puamana" salad mix of lettuce, herbs and flowers that's a weekly sellout. We like meeting his mother, too.
Then it's a pleasant stroll down the ranks of tents and trucks in front of which the vendors show their wares.
Where's Bobbie, who grows an exquisitely smooth coffee on her small spread in Olinda? Where's Herbert? That's Herbert Shim, the wiry Kula farmer who's been selling his produce at Upcountry markets for decades. Buy something from Herbert, and he gives you something in exchange, a bouquet of flowers perhaps, or more avocados than you paid for. He's the real old style.
There's Otis, with his Haiku citrus and duck eggs. There's Tsang, the guy with the long white hair and Santa Claus beard who sells greens and feral pineapples. There's Uma, with her marvelous Indian food; the kids who grow artisanal lettuce, huge and wild and full of vitality; and the bee recovery people with their jars of honey. We end up at the tent of Escobedo Farms, from which we buy hydroponic tomatoes and big cabbages. They, too, are generous with extras.
Kula has long been the province of farmers.
In 1850 when the gold rush was under way, California had a voracious appetite for Hawaii's potatoes, "Irish potatoes," as they were called, to distinguish them from the common Hawaiian sweet potato. The most popular were those grown in great quantities in the Kula uplands on Maui.
There the soil, although rocky, was rich and loamy, and produced not only potatoes but turnips, corn and melons of excellent quality that had been discovered growing wild.
The Kula potato fields were as large as a mile wide and eight miles long in some places. Lincoln L. Torbert, who had a spread there (forerunner of Ulupalakua Ranch) urged ship captains to visit the Kalepolepo anchorage in present day north Kihei, where the crop ($5 a barrel, up from $1, resold for $30) could be safely loaded.
People flocked to the Kula fields to prepare the ground and plant. Prosperity in the region seemed so assured that Hawaiians called it "Nu Kalifornia."
Heartened by this show of native enterprise, the government of Kamehameha III hired William P. Alexander to survey the region's vast forest and divide it into lots of 1 to 10 acres to be sold to the Hawaiians for $3 an acre. Then a missionary teacher at Lahainaluna Seminary, Alexander was one of the few people in Hawaii trained in surveying.
He moved up to the high blue skies of Kula and set up a tent in a potato field at about 2,500 feet where he prepared to sell 2,000 acres in the ahupuaa of Kamaole, "one third of the whole potatoe region." It is because of this fortuitous sale of government land - a tragedy for the forest - that Kula farmers got such an early start.
In addition, Alexander surveyed the small kuleana of natives, "that they may get allodial titles [free from the tenured rights of a feudal overlord]."
With the assistance of his sons James and Samuel, Alexander began to cut roads through the primeval forest that stretched across the flank of the mountain. It was an old montane koa forest, a wao akua (wilderness where spirits lived), with trees that stood up to 120 feet high with spans of 60 feet, so thick that travelers spoke of having to hack their way to Ulupalakua.
"Father uses swords [the Spanish machete] to cut through the woods," James reported at one point, describing them as two miles wide. "It is terrible hard work. Very often we come home dripping wet," said Sam.
It's about 9 a.m. at the market, and vendors are wrapping up for the day. Some of them have bona fide farms. Others, serious gardens. All are justly proud of what they have coaxed from the land. We are happy to have a relationship with the soil through the people who grow our food.
I hope the County Council, currently considering agricultural zoning tax changes, does what it can to malama these folks. In this era of high gas prices, doesn't it makes sense to encourage a local food supply?

Rudolph Ekstein, an experienced senior psychologist, has worked intensively with severely disturbed children in a variety of clinical settings. The fact that he and several of his colleagues have written a book about these children therefore merits careful attention. Children of Time and Space, of Action and Impulse is an intimate and detailed description of psychotherapeutic philosophy, theory, and practice.
A theme that runs through the book is that the affects, thinking, and communications of severely disturbed children differ from those of other children, just as children differ from adults. Effective diagnosis and therapy depend on a flexible abjustment to these differences. In this way one can establish a relationship that is within the child's capacity for understanding. As the title suggests, action and primaryprocess thinking account for most of the differences. Pure impulse-ridden action is, with ego growth of the children, supplanted by

Technical Notes
Drop by for a firsthand look at our distillery where one of our guides will accompany you on a tour and tell you the complete story of our whiskey. And you'll probably hear an interesting story or two about Mr. Jack as well. We hope to see you around Lynchburg sometime soon.
The town of Lynchburg is the seat of Moore County, the smallest county in Tennessee. Even though it's home to the Distillery, it's a dry county and has been ever since Prohibition. And while the Distillery may be the main attraction here, you don't want to miss other local favorites like lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House and a trip to the Lynchburg Hardware & General Store. If you want to explore all the sights in Lynchburg, take your time. There's plenty to see.

Plaque with martyrdom of St Thomas Becket
Gilded copper with champlevé enamel
Limoges, France
Museum no. 4041-1856
The shape and subject suggest that this came from the side of a casket containing relics of Thomas Becket. Some of the enamel has disappeared, showing how the surface was engraved to receive the powdered glass. The heads, typical of Limoges work of this period, are made of separate pieces of copper.

Orphan designation
On 29 June 2006, orphan designation (EU/3/06/381) was granted by the European Commission to MDS Pharma Services GB Limited, United Kingdom, for human monoclonal antibody against Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11 for the treatment of pneumonia caused by serotype O11 Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The sponsorship was transferred to Voisin Consulting, France, in July 2007 and subsequently to Envestia Limited, United Kingdom, in September 2014.
For a list of the administrative updates to this public summary of opinion please refer to the PDF document below.
- What is pneumonia caused by serotype O11 Pseudomonas aeruginosa?
Pneumonia is an inflammation (reaction of the immune system, the body's natural defence system) in the lung tissue. It can be caused by several microorganisms such as different kinds of bacteria, virus and fungi. It can also be caused by chemicals that are breathed in. The inflammation leads to a diminished function of the lungs and common symptoms are associated to the decreased ability of the blood to take up oxygen from the air. Especially in the hospital setting, pneumonia can be caused by infection by the bacteria Pseudomonas auruginosa. A serotype is defined by the kind of antibodies (proteins of the immune system that bind to foreign molecules) that are induced by different strains of microorganisms, in this case the bacterium. Serotype O11 is one of the most common strains of Pseudomonas auruginosa. Pneumonia caused by serotype O11 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a life-threatening condition.
- What is the estimated number of patients affected by the condition?
At the time of designation, pneumonia caused by serotype O11 Pseudomonas aeruginosa affected less than 5 in 10,000 people in the European Union (EU). This was equivalent to a total of fewer than 234,000 people*, and is below the ceiling for orphan designation, which is 5 people in 10,000. This isbased on the information provided by the sponsor and the knowledge of the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP).
*Disclaimer: For the purpose of the designation, the number of patients affected by the condition is estimated and assessed on the basis of data from the European Union (EU 25), Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. At the time of designation, this represented a population of 468,900,000 (Eurostat 2006).
- What treatments are available?
Several types of antibiotics (drugs that kill bacteria) were authorised for the treatment of the condition in the Community at the time of submission of application for orphan drug designation. Most antibiotics work by disrupting the building of the bacterial cell wall and thus preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying.
Satisfactory argumentation has been submitted by the sponsor to justify the assumption that human monoclonal antibody against Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11 might be of potential significant benefit for the treatment of pneumonia caused by serotype O11 Pseudomonas aeruginosa, mainly because it has a new mechanism of action. This assumption will have to be confirmed at the time of marketing authorisation. This will be necessary to maintain the orphan status.
- How is this medicine expected to work?
A monoclonal antibody is a protein that recognises and binds to a specific structure on a molecule. In this case, human monoclonal antibody against Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11 is designed to bind to the specific type of Pseudomonas aureginosa bacteria called serotype O11. The antibody can promote the killing and elimination of the bacteria with the help of the the immune system. The medicinal product is intended to be used in combination with antibiotics. It is expected that the mode of action of this monoclonal antibody is killing Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria independent from the microbiological sensitivity of antibiotics.
- What is the stage of development of this medicine?
The effects of human monoclonal antibody against Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11 were evaluated in experimental models.
At the time of submission of the application for orphan designation, clinical trials in patients with pneumonia were ongoing.
Human monoclonal antibody against Pseudomonas aeruginosa serotype O11 was not authorised anywhere worldwide for the treatment of pneumonia, nor designated as orphan medicinal product elsewhere for this condition, at the time of submission.
According to Regulation (EC) No 141/2000 of 16 December 1999, the Committee for Orphan Medicinal Products (COMP) adopted on 16 May 2006 a positive opinion recommending the grant of the above-mentioned designation.
- Opinions on orphan medicinal product designations are based on the following three criteria:
- the seriousness of the condition;
- the existence of alternative methods of diagnosis, prevention or treatment;
- and either the rarity of the condition (affecting not more than five in 10,000 people in the Community) or the insufficient returns on investment.
Designated orphan medicinal products are products that are still under investigation and are considered for orphan designation on the basis of potential activity. An orphan designation is not a marketing authorisation. As a consequence, demonstration of the quality, safety and efficacy is necessary before a product can be granted a marketing authorisation.

Oil prices rose above $71 a barrel Thursday, halting this week's decline as falling U.S. crude inventories suggested demand is improving in the world's largest economy.
Benchmark crude for July delivery was up 14 cents to $71.17 a barrel by mid-afternoon in Europe in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Wednesday, it rose 56 cents to settle at $71.03.
Earlier in the session, the Nymex contract peaked at $71.73, but fell back as the dollar strengthened and drew investors out of commodities, usually a safeguard against inflation and dollar weakness.
Prices dipped below $70 a barrel earlier this week from an eight-month high near $73 the previous week on investor concern that the economy may not recover as fast as some traders anticipate.
The Energy Information Administration said Wednesday that crude inventories fell last week by 3.9 million barrels, or 1.1 percent, and have dropped 10.8 million barrels over the last four weeks.
While U.S. inventories are still bloated with the most oil in nearly 16 years, analysts see the recent drawdowns as a sign that gasoline demand is recovering.
"The tightening of the U.S. market is continuing," Barclays Capital said in a report. "U.S. gasoline demand continues its clear improving trend."
U.S. retail gasoline prices have risen 50 straight days as demand during the summer holiday season exceeded refiners' expectations.
"Four-week gasoline demand was up 1.14 percent, confirming last week's foray into positive territory and showing the first genuine sign that the economy is really improving," said U.S. energy consultancy Cameron Hanover. "Even with millions not going to work, Americans are using more gas again."
Oil has doubled since March on investor optimism that the global economy is on the road to recovery from its worst slowdown in decades. Indicators this week suggest growth remains sluggish, but some analysts are anticipating a better economic environment later this year.
"We continue to expect an improvement in fundamentals to begin to take hold in the next several months," Goldman Sachs said in a report. "Recent data points have already begun to suggest some stabilization."
Goldman said it expects the prices of oil to rise to $85 a barrel in six months and reach $95 by the end of 2010.
Analysts also mentioned rebel attacks on oil installations in Nigeria, Africa's largest crude producer, as supporting oil prices.
In other Nymex trading, gasoline for July delivery was down 0.18 cent to $2.0308 a gallon and heating oil fell 0.86 cent to $1.8544. Natural gas for July delivery rose 5.3 cents to $4.306 per 1,000 cubic feet.
In London, Brent prices fell 14 cents to $70.71 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange. Associated Press writer Alex Kennedy in Singapore contributed to this report. Copyright 2009 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.

Felony charge dismissed against Mount Holly manMay 02,2013Deadly weapon
charge dropped
Rutland County prosecutors have dismissed a Mount Holly mans charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Months after Nathan M. Turco, 35, was charged with the felony offense, prosecutors dropped the charge as part of a plea deal in which Turco pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault.
Turco also admitted to violating his probation for a prior offense and was sentenced in March to serve 111 days in jail with credit for time served, according to court records.
Vermont State Police arrested Turco in November after an incident at a home on Shunpike Road in Mount Holly, where a 17-year-old told police that Turco held a knife to his throat and threatened him.

The 37th President of the United States, Richard Nixon.
Aside from Watergate Mr. Nixon was a great president and accomplished much before he resigned.
He was the first U.S President to visit China. He had started that relationship, began dialogue with the communist country. The Chinese government certainly respected Mr. Nixon.
He put the first man on the moon.
He extracted us from Vietnam.
He eased tensions between the U.S and the Soviet Union. A treaty was signed to limit the number of arms being built.
And there was many, many more accomplishments during his administration but are overlooked due to Watergate. I think it is time to "let it go" and admit that aside from the scandal he was a great man and a great President. He was not a crook, he made a mistake and he loved this country dearly.
That is why he resigned, he did not want to drag the country down further than he already had.
He was invited to the RNC by George H.W Bush during his second campaign, he declined as he did not want to damage relations with Clinton if he were to win the presidency. This was his dream, some redemption so to speak, to be back with his party but declined as having a relationship with Clinton was more important.
Clinton respected Mr. Nixon, he let it go (unlike that spineless ****** Jimmy Carter), I think the rest of us should too.
He said by 2000, he would be seen in a different light. I don't think that's the case and I think it is time.
You should resign as he did and spare yourself and this board the spectacle of a trial.
"Gave you a thumbs up because you made an effort".
Our behavior might be upsetting some people.
don't thik yer rockin the boat much.
Donny boy??
Cool thread, Slayer. I'd cast my vote in favor of forgiving Nixon, too.
First, let me give my detractions: I agree with Walt that the moon landings were largely JKF / LBJ's doing. In fact, Nixon cancelled Apollo missions 18, 19 and 20. After we'd landed on the moon and there were no more Cold War trophies to win, Nixon cut funding for space exploration. I'm a space geek, so I bristle whenever NASA gets shafted.
I also blame Nixon for igniting the War on Drugs (he coined the term himself, in 1971). I consider the war on drugs a complete waste of money. It's a war that can't be won, being fought against our own people, who have, in my view, the right to put into their bodies whatever they see fit, dangerous or not.
Still, I agree that Nixon should be forgiven for Watergate. Getting China to flip allegiances in the Cold War was an incredible accomplishment, one that fundamentally altered the world's balance of power.
That's even more amazing given the fact that at the same time, Nixon drew us closer together with the Soviets (detente and the SALT I treaty). You'd think that pulling China, already an "intra mural" enemy of the Soviet Union, closer to us, would harm US - Soviet relations, but he managed to improve relations with both countries. That ain't nothin'.
By the time the 1972 campaign came around, Nixon had visited both China and the Soviet Union and McGovern (or any other Democrat nominated that year) was toast.
One other point: Nixon and Kissinger also got our POW's home and our ground troops out of Vietnam in 1973. We still lost the war, but by the time Nixon became President, I doubt any other outcome was possible. Every Superpower takes its lumps sooner or later (the Romans couldn't conquer the German tribes, the British got surprised by us, we got surprised by the Vietnamese, the Russians couldn't handle Afghanistan, etc.), I'm just glad we learned from our mistake.
All told, I say you're right, we should give the man a break.
"I forgive EVERYONE. I forgave YOU!! That doesn't mean he wasn't a crook. He alos kept the war going years longer than it had to. That's the worst thing he did. It's alos the worst thing Obama is doing now."
Well, I don't believe he was a crook. He did not order the break in, he attempted to cover it up and the more he tried to cover it up the worse things became. I do not believe any of the people convicted were pardoned by Ford, only Nixon. Aside from Watergate, he was a great president. I think he was certainly punished enough for his actions, perhaps more than he should have. I applaud former President Bush for inviting him to the RNC, that alone may have started to change peoples perception of him however he declined in hopes to be able to assist Clinton if he won the election. He was one of the few Presidents to request information that the current president gets, that because he cared for the Country and only only once did he break his own rule "to not give a president advice unless asked" and that was done with President Clinton in which he accepted that invitation. Time to let it go Walrath!
The things Nixon did in his time are still a benefit for our time. And yes he was a fine president.
Time for you to let it go. The pathetic attempt to rehabilitate Nixon shows how divorced from reality you are. The coverup WAS a crime!! Saying that other than that he was great is like saying that other than getting shot Lincoln enjoyed the play.
Nixon was an AH just like you
How exactly did Nixon put a man on the moon?? Kennedy started the moon mission. All Nixon did was run his mouth when it happened. He was also the biggest CROOK in history!!!
He was no crook! Watergate does not prove he was a crook!
Kennedy started the moon mission just like Bush started the Bin Laden mission! Obama finishes the mission just like Nixon finished the Moon mission. YOU LOSE!

Malick's Metaphysics: Creation, Being, and The Tree of Life
When evangelical politicians pronounce on topics like the origins of the universe, the results are almost always awful -- embarrassing, infuriating, unwatchable. When a reclusive, visionary filmmaker like Terrence Malick treats the same subject matter, as he does in his new movie The Tree of Life, one is transported. Which is a useful reminder that the mysteries of creation are best grappled with through art. The book of Genesis, after all, begins not with scientific description or theological argument, but with a poem.

quote: First off, I was merely telling a previous poster about the two ways the law could be changed. How does that make me a radical?
quote: I already know that you don't agree with either option, but that doesn't give you the right to assume that I am advocating either when all I said was that both were options.
quote: I am not advocating a sharp turn from capitalism or a citizen's freedom of expression. All I am offering is minor tunings to the current structure to make it more in tune with the sentiment of some of the other posters.
quote: I bet you are still outraged by the Twenty-First Amendment "breaking" the Eighteen Amendment.
quote: Banning corporations assumes that people have a right to form corporations. They do not.
quote: Corporations are like driving, people don't have a right to get into a car and drive, neither do people with regard to corporations.
quote: The ruling is wrong because corporations are not equivalent to people.
quote: Corporations on the other hand, are faceless entities that allow a small group of individuals to use laws, unequal in application, to amplify their speech in a manner that is often contrary to the will of the individuals subsidizing that message. Now you tell me, which sounds more Constitutional and democratic?
quote: Well I owe you an apology. It read as if you were being quite literal and not hypothetical. Regardless, I crossed a line and I'm sorry.
quote: We have to remember we live in a WORLD economy. If corporations were banned in America, how many companies would chose to pack up and move operations oversees? And think what that would do to our country and economy. I can't even begin to predict all the far ranging consequences such a thing would cause.
quote: Legally, you're wrong. Despite not being natural persons, corporations are recognized by the law to have rights and responsibilities like natural persons. I'm highly simplifying things by using this statement, of course. But "corporate person-hood" was decided back in the 1800's.
quote: Excuse me but, for the most part, EVERYONE has the right to earn the privilege to drive. People do have the right to get into a car and drive, provided they have met the legal terms involved in doing so. Getting a license, having insurance etc etc.The ACT of driving might not be a right, but the EARNING of the privilege certainly is.
quote: I would like you to quantify the statement that there is no "right" to form a corporation. Because, to me, this is an anti-American statement. We have the right to voluntary association, that much is certain. I can't find a single Supreme Court ruling, or legal document for that matter, that validates your assertion. Not ONE. Can you provide something tangible so that I may further understand your position?
quote: Again, legally they are. Corporations have the same First Amendment rights as individuals. I don't know why you can't wrap your head around this concept. This has been upheld by the Supreme Court numerous times. Corporate person-hood is why you can sue a corporation for damages or harm, by the way. Or do you like the idea of a CEO or group of shareholders being personally sued for every action of a person or persons in the corp? Or other legal pitfalls.
quote: I'm actually confused about which you would rather do. Banning corporations en' total, or overturning the legal interpretation of "corporate person-hood"?

Lenz, who has lived in the fourth ward since 1997, and his fellow council members all approved a recent resolution to use sensors to monitor the water levels in the area and get to the bottom of the ward's flooding problem.
Citing a study from the Stevens Institute of Technology, Occhipinti said the sensors would be of no use to the ward and accused Lenz of "feeding his face" at a fundraiser for Mayor Dawn Zimmer last night while the fourth ward braced itself for the inclement weather in today's forecast.
Lenz's campaign manager Sam Briggs responded to Occhipinti's accusation in another press release this afternoon:
"I find it despicable that Tim would stoop so low as to make jokes about Councilman Lenz's weight," he said in a statement. "Mike has lost over 170 pounds recently and he is proud of his successful fight against this all too common problem... Tim should disown these low blow tactics, sign the Clean Campaign Pledge, and get back to the issues that matter to the 4th ward."
Occhipinti's communications director David Cruz has said previously that they do not intend to sign the pledge in order to stick to the issues.

This eBook will educate Exchange administrators and systems managers on how to best approach the migration and overall management of an Exchange 2003 environment. The book will focus on core issues such as configuration management, accounting, and monitoring performance with an eye toward migration, consolidation, security and management.
Change is good. If not for change, I wouldn't have HDTV.
Oh, sure, the considerable financial investment caused pain and suffering (not to mention the intuition that, with time, HDTV will be much cheaper than what I paid for it). But be assured of this: I was nothing short of ecstatic when our old television set finally bit the dust, justifying a "balanced and rational" decision to upgrade. Such is the paradox of change—that despite its rewards, we resist it as long as we can.
Change driven by technology is good in business as well, and for a host of reasons more compelling than my personal zeal for cutting-edge consumer electronics. But the winds of caution in business are much higher; after all, the stakes are much higher.
That's why some companies continue to cope with older technologies such as Post Office Protocol (POP, in case you are one of the many who have forgotten what this acronym dating to 1984 stands for) just because POP is available as open source. Some companies may be awaiting similar availability to MS-DOS code, which is not far off.
Not exactly a top choice for driving the software on my business systems.
Segueing to the context of Exchange 2003, our answer to this resistance to change is far from revolutionary (or even new): collaboration and the collection of "business intelligence" is what separate you from your competition.
How these functions get done is what's new about Exchange, including the ability to collect email from a SmartPhone, a Web browser, or offline access. New are the concepts of indexing mail and group calendars, resource scheduling and seamless integration with project management software, fax software, voice mail integration, and delegation of tasks and appointments.
During the 1990s WordPerfect, Lotus, and Microsoft developed email clients that could integrate with other systems, surpassing the flexibility and power of the POP client. The outcome was a category of products that became known as groupware, so named because they encouraged information sharing within organizations. Key to this change were central directories that gave users instant access to corporate directories and the ability to share calendars, meeting information, and resource scheduling within the entire company. Groupware also enabled the development of custom applications that could leverage these built-in messaging and calendaring features. This direction prompted Lotus to purchase cc:mail and to integrate messaging into the Lotus Notes client. Novell's need to compete in this new frontier of groupware married with desktop applications prompted the purchase of WordPerfect and its suite of products.
In July of 2003, Information Week reported that Microsoft Exchange led the enterprise messaging software market with a 32 percent market share. Lotus Notes and Domino had 25 percent of the market and the remaining other solutions trailed far behind. This might lead to the conclusion that the forces of change are "on a tear," but take a closer look. From those totals, approximately half of those Exchange servers are running not Exchange 2000, but rather Exchange 5.5.
Another recent study from the Ferris Research group confirmed that IBM and Microsoft customers have been slow to adopt the latest and greatest versions of their messaging software. In the case of Exchange 2000, this delay was often blamed on the slow adoption of Active Directory (AD). Several years after its introduction, we no longer are intimidated by AD, recognizing it as a stable, mature product. In fact, most companies that were running Windows NT 4.0 domains have now finally embraced AD. So once again, the stage is set for change: with our projects for AD implementation out of the way, we're ready to focus on replacing our six-year-old Exchange 5.5 environments with the HDTV of messaging products.
While this discussion clearly supports the notion that change is not easy, planning for an Exchange 2003 deployment need not be an intimidating process—so long as it is thorough and takes place well before the installation of your first server. The purpose of this eBook is to help you answer the fundamental business questions required to deploy a new Exchange (and as a supporting objective, an AD) environment. This eBook also takes on many practical issues and questions, yielding the kinds of answers you won't find anywhere else, such as how many users justify a server, in-depth considerations for determining bandwidth, and numerous scripts for automating and monitoring your solutions, all pliable enough to tailor and employ in your own scenarios. Welcome to my take on the world of Exchange, and get ready for change!
-- Steve Bryant, President and CEO of Pro Exchange, a solutions integration company that specializes in high-end messaging solutions
