Skip to comments.Newt Gingrich on Twitter: Sonia Sotomayor 'Racist', Should Withdraw (Sotomayor hates White Males)
Posted on 05/27/2009 11:45:37 AM PDT by tobyhill
Just a day after President Obama announced he was nominating appellate court judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court, the battle over her confirmation has begun with former House speaker Newt Gingrich branding her a racist and saying she should withdraw.
Gingrich today joined the chorus of conservatives such as Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh, who called Sotomayor a "reverse racist."
The accusations are aimed at comments Sotomayor made during a 2001 lecture at the University of California-Berkeley. Referring to former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's saying that "a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases," Sotomayor said, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
We can now add legal dunce to the list.
1. GOP roll over for racist judge.
2. Nancy Pelosi-CIA all but forgotten.
And it's only Wednesday.
Oh ya and 3. No more LOST.
Well, Newt should know, ay?
Before she quits, or some such thing, I'd enjoy hearing her say some more idiotic things.
I must say, so far, the lady is the legal equivalent of blaming rain on wet streets.
What a gal!
The media can't marginalize them all.
When Newt is right, he's right.
Newt is not my first, second, or fifth choice, but so far he is one of the ONLY "politicians" (as opposed to commentators, like Coulter or Limbaugh) who is opposing Obama. For that reason, he is gaining credibility with me.
There's no such thing as a "reverse-racist".
You're either a racist or not.
Why is her experience any more or less valid than a white guys' experiences?
I mean the most legally-discriminated class of people in this country are white males.
Can't anyone say the opposite of what she said? It's not like she knows what it is to live and experience life as a man (being hated by half the population just for being a guy and therefore the source of all the problems in the world) or being white.
You think it's a bed of roses being a white guy? Gimme a break. We're the freakin' scapegoats for everyone who isn't white and male. We're the only ones who people are protected discriminating against.
So does our President - at least he's consistant.
Sotomayer's opinions are just downright kooky.
They are all out there for ANYONE to find.
http://www.findlaw.com may have them findable.
Does anyone have a list of the new members of the judiciary committee?
I'm sorry. That's it. I really don't want to be a whiner or play that favorite game, group identity politics. But all sarcasm, witty rejoinder and cynicism aside, I am outraged that a prospective SC justice would lump me into a group and denigrate my judgement because of the color of my skin and the ethnic backgrounds of my parents. What's next? White males need not apply?
Get use to it. We have at least 3 years and 8 months left.
Which be, that unless la Sotomayor is on tape committing babyrape and arson while getting shot up on heroin by a Lesbian biker during a hold-up, she is your next SCOTUS member. Deal with it, Whitey.
Kenya boy has the votes. Care to start a betting pool on how many "Republicans," vote for her approval? The Magic Marxist Mulatto is playing race hardball. The Republicans are playing pocket pool.
All our boys are trying to do is position their more or less RINO posteriors for 2010. All they will succeed in doing is lose ...again.
Stand up. Vote against Sotomayor, and shut up and sit down.
Thanks to the internet and a few conservative media outlets, you are aware of these issues. 15-20 years ago, it was a different story.
The world will not come to an end if conservatives stop complaining and start finding solutions. Historically, the answer to every crisis faced by humanity is individual human ingenuity and persistence.
For inspiration, try reading "The Fountainhead".
No doubt about the votes Soreto has, but public opinion hasn't weighed in ... If the public thinks she is a stooge, which her writings confirm, then all bets are off.
Maybe she would like to say which races are better ...
>(Sotomayor hates White Males)<
Hope that there are enough white males with spine in either party that will see to it that she will not get on the SCOTUS.

Newt is awesome.
Awesome yes. Presidential material no.
The bigotry behind this statement is main stream enough, that it shocks modern sensibilities to call it bigotry outside of conservative circles.
A few decades back in the South, it no doubt shocked sensibilities to object to bigotry against blacks. But today, not so much, because anti-black bigotry is not pervasive.
Obama has nominated an outspoken bigot to the court. And those offended by people calling her out as a bigot are little different than the old Dixiecrats of the South.
"Get use to it. We have at least 3 years and 8 months left."
No. The term of a SC justice does not end with the President who nominated him.
I like this line of attack alot.
The term "racist" has needed a broader definition for years and now connotates someone who hires based on quotas. Sounds like a winner to me.
But, my piscine friend, they think that she's THEIR stooge.
No, that's not next. That proclamation has already been made. Did you forget about Robert Reich saying that white males need not apply for construction jobs created by the stimulus?
I suppose it could be argued that his remarks don't count since no jobs are actually being created by the stimulus.
Not necessarily ... oil and water still don't mix. And race politics cuts many ways amongst the various races.
He's the only one fighting these thugs!
Who the h*ll are you to gripe about Newt?
This judge a is a white man hater.
I doubt we will win this one. BO has the votes. Even if we win, he just replaces her with another radical leftist. Eventually he will get one confirmed.
So what we ought to be doing is figuring out how to use this appointment to paint BO as the radical he is. Bringing BO down is going to be a cumulative process. Cheney and Guantanamo helped. Using the current nomination to pull the covers on his radical identity politics is another. He's particularly vulnerable there because of his associations with Louis Farrakhan and Rev Wright. We need to use this nomination to pull the scab off that wound.
In other words, the win here is a bite taken out of BO. The win is not forcing him to appoint a moderate to the court—that ain't gonna happen. But he can be damaged by this woman's radical opinions and statements and it will be a little harder for him to govern. The nomination process is the opportunity we have to highlight her radical background because the publicity spotlight is focused. Her opinions, if understood, will not be well received by the American public.
Unfortunately Sotomayor is probably the best pick Obama could make from my point of view. She isn't likely to sway anyone on the court given her limited intellect, and she may just highlight how silly some liberal "legal opinion" really is.
Republicans should politely question her on constitutional issues, and point out the difference between liberal activism and constitutional law, and then allow the vote to go to the floor of the senate. They can vote against her there, but unless the Democrats toss her under the bus for lacking grey matter, the Republicans shouldn't get too much in her way.
To do otherwise makes the Republicans look mean. That's the disadvantage we face because the Democrats can always put simpathetic losers up for nomination. When Republicans try to nominate simpathetic judges, their nominees are either old white men, not black enough, not womanly enough, not poor enough, etc. Somehow if you are qualified to sit on the bench, and you aren't a liberal, you're unfit to be a judge. The same will never apply to liberal nominees.
The left has defined what "racism" is for almost 50 years, slowly altering it to mean only conservatives, especially men.
We - and the GOP - have the opportunity now to reposition the debate. We need simply to say, again and again, that:
"Republicans cannot, in good conscience, vote to put a racist on the Supreme Court."
Then the GOP unwaveringly stands on this principle. No debate. No rationalizations or PC semi-apologies. Repeat the stance and let the left defend Sotomayor's words and deeds.
Draw a line in the sand, define Sotomayor as undeniably racist - because she is - and make that sole issue.
Let the dems put her on the court with their own 60 votes and none of ours.
If the public sees her as the judicial dunce as she is ... you never know. Great stock was placed in public opinion about Alito and Roberts.
Agree the odds are long.
The bet is the parrot media will cover for her. At some point that bet will fail.
What do you think we've been told for the last twenty years?
White males need not apply?
Pretty much. A WM who graduated Texas A & M with my son (Class of '96) was not accepted into the Coast Guard officers program because they already had "enough W.M.'s". The recruiters were seeking women and minorities. Screw the grades or aptitude for being a CG officer.
America is a racist country, why shouldn't it have a racist Supreme Court justice.
It is time to concede that the Constitution is an adapting source of law. To give up judicial precedent will be required to get back to a more traditional meaning of the Constitution, rule of law not do as I say, liberty not serfdom, freedom not give me my daily bread. Relying on precedent means continuing down the same tract laid by the socialists.
You're right. But liberalism so dominates our thinking that even most conservatives accept basic liberal premises. Even when our guys fight the left, they often do it on the left's turf.
One of the basic premises of liberalism is that whites are uniquely wicked and are the inventors of racism. Non-whites are good and anything bad they might do is excused as a reaction against white depravity. So while it's good that Gingrich and a few conservatives are opposing Sotomayor and noting her hostility to whites, they still accept the underlying premise that whites are the cause of all racism. Whites had racist feelings against non-whites, which in turn has caused some non-whites such as Sotomayer to turn that racism against white people (i.e., reverse racism). White racism, in this view, was the ORIGINAL racism, the ORIGINAL sin, and thus remains worse.
Conservatives need to escape the ideological trap and verbal quagmire they've fallen into. Still, I guess we should be thankful that someone like Gingrich is at least fighting.
Yeah, whatever, Puta Fea.
You could maybe make a better taco than me.
And clean the bathroom after you do the laundry.
I think you will find that the most vocal anti-Gingrichians here used to be his greatest fans. I find it morally repugnant to criticize Bill Clinton and then turn a blind eye to Mr. Newt for what appears to be the same lifestyle. I don't extend credit for someone that appears only slightly more discrete.
I agree completely. "Reverse racist" sounds like an excuse, as if it's not as bad as being a "real" racist. This woman is a racist, pure and simple, just like Spike Lee, jesse jackson, Al Sharpton, and "reverend" Wright.
I afraid that this will prove to be wrong. In King Obama's second term he will instruct the Senate to remove term limits for President. By then the Constitution will just be a useless piece of paper and after the Senate passes the bill he will sign. Nothing will stop this Communists.
This is why despite his RINO qualities, Newt is the man. What other Republican is willing to take the flack from the media and say what needs to be said?
It's an obvious point, but how many, if any Republican Senators are going to say this?
Many of us struggle with this tension and attempt to maintain and promote our cultural and ethnic identities in a society that is often ambivalent about how to deal with differences.
Many people wind up in a rubber room or hang out with communists as well. It appears to be getting harder to tell the difference where each of the liberals belong. In the rooms with the loons or at the local Communist Party HQ.
I wonder whether by ignoring our differences as women or men of color we do a disservice both to the law and society.
Hunny, the blindfold is on the statue for a reason, NOT to look cool.
Bizarre is not even going to come close to what she will be passing off as justice.
Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasnt lived that life."
Latina woman with the richness of her experience...
Golly, isnt she just special! Ain't noooobody ever had to come up through the ranks WITHOUT stacks of cash from birth. Just her little racist azz. Yep, she is the first, the one, the only. Let us all grovel in unison...
IF (when) it blows the liberal communists that call themselves democrats that participated in this racism will be so shocked at the consequences of their commie cavorting.
I suppose that her actually experiencing the clear thought that a white male would not, in most instances, be either stupid enough, intellectually retarded enough or morally corrupt enough to actually stand up in public, on the record and say something THAT ignorant, is totally beyond her ability to comprehend.
The current "trendy/cool" bigotry and racism against white males is only going to go so far and only last so long.
Let me be explicitly clear here. If the "white male" population decides that after fifty years of affirmative action, reverse discrimination, preferential treatment, lowest common denominator "education" and now clear and blatant bigotry being reported by the "MSM" as "cool and trendy" has not only been for absolutely nothing, it has had, as predicted, a quite negative effect and made the situation worse and now "white males" are just going to have to suck it up, there could be a backlash that will make the massive slaughter of trench warfare in WWI look like sandlot volleyball.
Please do not rely on me. All you worthless communist lurkers that lightheartedly call yourselves "liberals" or progressives" or even "democrats" get your little pinhead noggins into some history books and find out just exactly what does happen when "white males" get push even one inch too far.
It's been said before, but this woman is the answer to my prayers.
Like most of you, I've been praying about Obama's SCOTUS pick. I think we all knew he would never pick a conservative or moderate. So I wanted him to pick the least effective liberal he could.
He did. He picked a woman who is so abrasive and so far out, that she makes even Ginsburg normal. She will be a reliable liberal vote, just as Souter was, but she will never sway any of the more moderate justices to her side.
I personally look forward to reading her dissenting viewpoints. I'm sure they will be a hoot.
Is she dangerous? Sure. All liberals with power are. But I promise you, in 10 years you will be happy it was her, and not Kagan.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -Danish side Nordsjaelland held Italian champion Juventus to a 1-1 draw in a Champions League Group E game on Tuesday.
Mirko Vucinic equalized for the visitors in the 81st minute after Mikkel Beckmann struck early in the second half to give Nordsjaelland the lead against the run of play.
And despite repeated attacks the Italians failed to find a winner. Juventus was the more adventurous of the sides with efforts from Sebastian Giovinco, Alessandro Matri and Arturo Vidal all coming close, but Nordsjaelland held firm.
Beckmann struck in the 50th on a free kick from just outside the box with his right foot as the ball curled over the wall and past Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
Juventus increased the pressure but Nordsjaelland goalkeeper Jesper Hansen was equal to the task and the Danes held on.
"I was very impressed by my boys," Nordsjaelland coach Kasper Hjulmand said. "This is not just any team. This is Italy's best team."
The Italian giants started brightly and midfielder Andrea Pirlo came close in the eighth minute. However, the Danes eventually found their legs and started to come into the game halfway through the first half as Buffon comfortably blocked a left-footed shot by Beckmann in the 17th.
The Italians' pressure in the second half was relentless but they failed to find the target. After Nordsjaelland took the lead, the home side clung to its lead courtesy of its first ever Champions League goal and initially withstood the pressure.
Pirlo had another chance in the 70th when he shot at Hansen, who held out several other Juventus attempts until Vucinic turned in a ball from Mauricio Isla on the right nine minutes from time.

What does an ironic Christian look like? "One of the chief characteristics of an ironic Christian," says Patrick Henry, "is an instinctive, abiding suspicion of no-loose-ends answers." An ironic Christian "inhabits a world that is more 'as if' than 'just like.'" Henry seeks to discern the "field marks" of God's grace embedded in life's paradoxes and unpredictability.
A Writer in His Time
The opening lines of Dostoevsky's Notes from the Underground (1864) can hardly be described as inviting: "I am a sick man. . . . I am a spiteful man. I am an unattractive man. I believe my liver is diseased." Yet generations of readers have been engaged by the writer's exquisite self-awareness, his extreme ambivalences and his complex understanding of life in a dysfunctional society.

A report by accountancy firm Deloitte & Touche says that the teams promoted this season from the English second tier to the English Premier League will be rewarded with up to $120 million, thanks to the EPL's new TV deal. Birmingham City and Sunderland have already clinched promotion. Four other teams will play off for the remaining spot, which will be decided in a May 28 final at the new Wembley, a game the report called, "the biggest financial prize in world football."
Seven teams -- Derby, West Brom, Wolverhampton, Southampton, Stoke, Preston, Colchester -- are in the running for the four playoff spots with one game left in the regular season. According to Deloitte & Touche, Premier League sales have doubled in the last five years to $2.73 billion.

Blue Sky Group investment chief departs for PGGM
The chief investment officer at the Blue Sky Group, which looks after the pension schemes for the Dutch airline KLM, has resigned to join the investments office for the country's second-biggest pension fund PGGM.
A spokesman for PGGM Investments confirmed the hire and said Fons Lute had taken up the position of managing director of alternative strategies as of September 1.
He completes the new four-strong team of managing directors who report to chief investment officer Johan van der Ende. He is now sole chief investment officer, following the departure of co-CIO Piet Roelandt, who left in May to "take on new challenges".
The others are Jaap van Dam, head of portfolio construction; Bob Rädecker, managing director of PGGM's beta, or passive investment, portfolios; and Jacques Kragt, the interim head of fundamental strategies.
Van der Ende said Lute's arrival meant the senior investment management team was complete. He said: "The management team leads compact focus teams and will further consolidate our positioning as an innovative, sustainable, long-term asset manager."
PGGM's main client is the €86bn ($125bn) pension fund for Dutch healthcare workers, now known as Pensioenfonds Zorg en Welzijn following an administrative change earlier this year. In common with most other large pension schemes, it lost money in the first half, posting an investment return of -2.7%.
Blue Sky Group, which runs about €12.1bn in assets, was established in 1999 as the in-house asset manager for Dutch airline KLM's retirement funds. It has since broadened its business and taken on responsibility for several other Dutch pension schemes.

Ethics Complaint Filed Against Broward Sheriff Scott Israel
It appears that Broward Sheriff Scott Israel has had an ethics complaint filed against him.
According to Bob Norman, the complaint was filed by a former Broward Sheriff's Office commander over a five-day cruise to the Bahamas that Israel took his family on aboard a campaign donor's $35 million superyacht.
The yacht, which belongs to Israel campaign donor Robert Pereira, rents for $190,000 a week. Israel paid a total of $1,500 for five days.
The sheriff did not disclose his trip to the public.

According to Israel, Broward Sheriff's Office attorneys say state law only required him to pay the equivalent of an inexpensive cruise, which he did.
It was former Broward Sheriff's Commander Sam Frusterio who filed an official complaint to the Florida Commission on Ethics on Wednesday, saying that what Israel did is against the law.
The main beef here is that an elected official failed to disclose the trip, which looks pretty shady, no matter how you slice it. Florida law requires elected officials to report all gifts valued at $100 or more.
According to Norman, Pereira contributed $245,000 to a pro-Israel PAC that aired attack ads against former Sheriff Al Lamberti before the election this past November.
But it appears that Israel ain't worried.
"I did the laudable thing. I did the honorable thing as the sheriff of Broward County," Israel told Local 10's Michael Putney during a taping for This Week in South Florida. "I could have claimed it as a gift, but I decided to pay for it."
Israel told WFTL-850 last week that he'd support an ethics investigation regarding his yacht trip.

Local out of the way place with lots of great craft beer in bottles. On tap there was nothing unusual but enjoyed being there and trying the bottles.
vipinvelp (319) Velp, Netherlands | March 20, 2015
Visited again with beerbuddy Marius. Nice interior, lots of chrome, but more important many beers. Staff is helpfull in getting us unrated beers. Had a nice addition to the lsit. Quite busy, limited place inside, hope the weather improves and you can sit outside. We wondered about the association with the railways.
Benzai (213) Oirschot, THE NETHERLANDS, Netherlands | November 21, 2014
This pub is a bit hidden away it seems. Been in the neighbourhood plenty of times but never visited before. Nice cosy pub with a pretty good selection. Not a lot of new ones for me though but certainly worth a visit.
caesar (363) Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands | March 23, 2014
Visited on a friday afternoon. Bit of a mix between industrial and old brown feel inside. Not too crowded, laidback crowd, which gives it a good atmosphere in contrast to the bars at Plein. Decent bottled selection with well known belgians and some Dutch micros. Taps were a bit boring though. Ok bar.
dEnk (32) Den Haag, Netherlands | January 18, 2014
A bit of an undiscovered place. Great place, great staff, nice beers, could do with some more ipa/stouts etc imho, the more daring stuff but they are expanding. Will visit more often.
Zer0 (6) The Hague, Netherlands | October 24, 2013
Cozy bar in a bit outside the center of The Hague. Selection is pretty standard with a few exceptions. 10 taps of which 2 are quickly rotating with new beers almost every time Im there. Owners are very friendly and can give you a good recommendation.
goozen (123) Leiden, Netherlands | July 28, 2013
Nice location in the centre of The Hague but well hidden, but if you find it you will not disappointed. Good terras if it is sunny, you got a load of sunbeams. Good list of beers, mostly Belgian and some Dutch.
Svesse (258) Hässelby, Sweden | April 7, 2013
(Visited Feb 2013) Very nice beer café in the northern outskirts of the city center, located by a square a bit out of the buzz, so you would probably not just stumble across it if you dont know where it is. Light interior with brown wooden tables and chairs. They had up to 10 taps, with good beers but nothing I hadnt tried before. The selection of bottled beers was quite impressive, with between 100-200 well chosen beers, some of them from Dutch micros, some of them previously unknown to me. Good selection of Belgian beers as well. Service was very friendly and efficient. Might have helped that I was the only one there for two hours on a Thursday afternoon. But the bar manager surely seemed to know what he was doing and was quite knowledgeable. Food is down to bar snacks, cheese and salamis. A bit out of the city centre, but well worth the walk. Highly recommended.
pfrz (2) , Finland | August 14, 2012| Updated April 7, 2014
Large and sunny terrace out front, inside is spacious w/ nice white marble counters. Very nice staff. Bottles on display on the shelves, taps on chalkboard so no need to guess whats on. Not far from the centre, but youll have to know where to look. Closed on mondays.
jmgreenuk (298) Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | June 6, 2012
A great new beer cafe in Den Haag which has already become one of my favourite hangouts. The ambience is great and feels really homely. Great service and a great beer selection. Could probably do with a few additional draft beers, but the bottled selection is already one of the best in the city.

Internal Revenue offices around the country are being picketed today by tea party groups...
That includes a noon hour protest in downtown La Crosse, where a few demonstrators held up signs criticizing the IRS for investigating conservative groups. Organizer Greg Luce says new stories about the scandal raise questions about the White House's possible role in the controversy. Tea party picketers gathered outside the La Crosse post office, where the local IRS office is housed.
Starting in 2014, Oktoberfest in La Crosse, one of Wisconsin's premier community festivals, will return to its original four-day format. "We want to share this important news with our community well in advance," says Kam-Lin Roswall, president of the Oktoberfest Board of Directors. "We are aware that literally thousands of people plan their schedules around our event and want to give all of our friends and supporters ample notice of our new format." Oktoberfest 2013, scheduled for September 27 through October 5, will run the nine-day format as previously announced. In 2014, Oktoberfest will run from Thursday, September 25th through Sunday, September 28th.
"The new four-day format will allow us to provide our friends and guests with an improved 'fest' experience," says Oktoberfest Executive Director, Tina Severson. "The new schedule will be more attractive in that guests will be able to take part in more of our signature activities–parades, entertainment venues, luncheons, history and traditions–without having to span two weekends and a full week in between." The move to a four-day schedule is a significant change for Oktoberfest but the decision has been embraced by all branches of the Oktoberfest family. "The Board of Directors has shared their thoughts with all of the fest-family groups and there is a strong consensus that this is the right move at the right time," says Roswall.
Oktoberfest will continue discussions regarding timing and dates of the various pre-fest events leading up to their 2014 celebration, such as the Parade Marshal Announcement, the Miss La Crosse/Oktoberfest Scholarship Program, the Mrs. Oktoberfest Reception, etc. Dates for those events and a full schedule will be available in 2014.
One important tradition that will remain with the four-day schedule is the "fest week" visits by the Oktoberfest Royal Family to area schools and senior living facilities. "Everyone recognizes the importance and great joy these visits bring," says Severson. "We have details to work out with the new schedule. However, we are planning on this activity to continue."

The Independence re-signed their offensive MVP, Natasha Kai, who led the team in goals with nine, a total that tied for second in the league with Abby Wambach.
Kai also scored the game-winning goal in the 2-0 semifinal victory over magicJack that propelled the Independence into the 2011 WPS championship game.
"I'm very happy to re-sign and be back with such a great organization and to be part of an amazing family and team," Kai said. "Being here in Philly not only made me grow as a person but also as a player. I lost the love and passion I once had for the game and truthfully never thought I'd ever get it back, but being here made me find that passion and love for soccer again. It's the happiest I've ever been."

Process Engineering White Papers
Preparing for industrial wireless
Plants across the world are increasingly having to make thedecision to implement wireless technology in their industrial facilities. The right decision enables an infrastructure that provides significant benefits from wire savings to improved operations. Wireless is a complex enabling technology that requires many considerations before broad deployment in an industrial facility.09/27/2007
Design Considerations for High Liquid Rate Tray Applications
Except for a few odd services, high liquid rate applications are typically the domain of either trays or random packings. Aside from the distributors, random packing designs are rather straightforward with the designer choosing the proper size to accommodate the fluid flow rates and achieve the desired efficiency. Trays, on the other hand, have a large variety of adjustable parameters and can be especially complex, especially when designed for high liquid rate applications.09/17/2007
Removing Liquid From Gas
Liquid entrainment in a gas stream can be a disturbance in many industrial processes. In natural-gas processing, higher-order hydrocarbons, water or impurities have to be separated from the main methane stream. Upstream of gas compressors, droplets that can damage the impellers, have to be removed. With the recently acquired Knitmesh technology and the strategic alliance with Shell Global Solutions, Sulzer Chemtech can supply a broad portfolio of advanced, tailor-made systems for gas/liquid separation to customers in all industries.09/17/2007
Environmental Health and Safety Compliance in Biotech Companies: Common Deficiencies Encountered During Audits
Environmental health and safety (EH&S) compliance programs for companies that house laboratories are complex and not easily maintained. Even the most basic plan involves keeping a variety of permits up-to-date, performing regular employee training, conducting inspections, complying with a myriad of chemical storage and handling requirements, and keeping a number of contingency plans current and complete. This white paper identifies the most common pitfalls and four simple steps to keeping your EH&S program current.09/11/2007

Rectifier design for fuel ethanol plants reduces energy
Plants have traditionally used trays in the distillation columns to produce fuels grade ethanol. Trays of various configurations have been adequate in this service and their technology is well founded. The ever-present desire to reduce the energy needed to produce a gallon of ethanol has opened the doors to structured packings being used in the rectification sections of ethanol distillation columns.04/10/2007
Four dust collection system design improvements that can yield significant annual energy cost savings
The design and location of a dust collection systems hood, ducting, collector and fan can collectively add sufficient static pressure requirements to the point where larger, more expensive to operate motors are necessary to maintain effectiveness. Optimizing these areas can make it possible to use smaller, more energy efficient brake horsepower motors.02/19/2007
Biodiesel Fuel From Palm Oil Too Good to be Used as Fuel?
The high prices for oil and gas have spotlighted other sources of fuel for internal combustion engines. Biofuel, a fuel derived from ethanol, and biodiesel fuel, a dieselequivalent derived from biological sources, are 2 possible substitutes for petrochemical fuel. Palm oil is increasingly used as feedstock for the production of biodiesel, but certain palm oil fractions have other uses, e.g., in the cosmetics and food industries. Sulzer Chemtechs technology supports the separation of crude palm oil (CPO) in its valuable constituents.01/11/2007

Process Moisture Analysis using FT-NIR
Manufacturing a pure product can be critically important to the next steps in the manufacture of a powder-based product. As a result the removal of residual moisture and solvents from the crystallization, filtration and drying steps can be crucial to producing a stable product.06/28/2006
Managing Complex Equipment Status in a GMP Environment
Batch manufacturing systems must maintain the status of equipment, including which are available, dirty, out of service, etc. In industries that enforce Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), additional status types and values for process equipment must be maintained. Rules associated with the equipment status can be complex and involve the equipment class, current equipment state and time in the current state. This paper covers the operator interface used to review the equipment status and the interlocking requirements between the recipe and batch phases based on multiple status types.06/13/2006

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - Warnings of a second border breaching at the Rafah crossing, separating the Egyptian Sinai from the Gaza Strip, passed without incident Sunday.
While hundreds of Hamas supporters rallied on the Gaza side of the crossing, Egypt deployed 700 border guards on its side, who apparently helped convince the demonstrators not to carry out the planned breaching.
In January, tens of thousands of Gazans tore down the concrete barrier near the Rafah crossing after it was partially blown up by explosives planted in and around the wall.
Speaking to participants at Sunday's rally, Ahmed Bahr, acting speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, blasted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak for not reopening Rafah.
Bahr also criticized Mubarak's government for preventing a delegation of senior Hamas representatives from traveling to other Arab countries.
"A few days ago we received an invitation from parliamentarians to travel to Arab countries, but we were surprised when the Egyptian authorities refused to give us permission to leave the Gaza Strip," Bahr said.
Senior Hamas spokesman Fawzi Bahoum said the rally was meant to cast a spotlight on the anger and frustration of Palestinians in Gaza, who want the border crossings open.
"Today we wanted to send a message to the Egyptian and Arab leadership about the need to end the siege against 1.5 million Palestinians," Bahoum said.
"Those who are refusing to lift the siege are actually taking part in the siege against the Palestinians," he said.

In gloomy periods gone by, shoppers continued to seek out little luxuries: a lipstick instead of a designer handbag, or a fragrance in lieu of a gown.
This story first appeared in the June 27, 2008 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
This time around, practicality has set in, as consumers begrudgingly absorb the ballooning costs of energy and food prices.
"Beauty is the last sacred cow to go," said Goldsmith & Harris analyst Gary Giblen, adding that this downturn also has dented sales of children's goods, pet care and food — categories usually seen as recession-proof.
Industry experts polled said it may be too early to tell whether consumers are curbing beauty spending, but collectively their comments and data underline the reality that the environment is just plain tough.
Traffic has thinned in department stores and in tony beach towns, like East Hampton, N.Y., observed Allan Mottus, an industry consultant. "It's not a good sign for the economy." In past downturns, people always seemed to scrape up enough extra cash to splurge on a lipstick. "This downturn is different," said Mottus.
Wendy Liebmann's firm WSL Strategic Retail polls shoppers every six months on their confidence levels and what categories they are buying and which they are cutting back on. The most recent study reveals that 65 percent of the 1,500 shoppers surveyed in May said they pulled back spending across the board, compared with 43 percent in the year-earlier period.
"Now it's as if we got into the last level of cuts," said Liebmann, co-founder and chief executive officer of WSL, adding that in addition to cosmetics consumers also are reining in purchases of hair care and skin care.
WSL's findings indicate that 59 percent of women cut spending on cosmetics, compared with 55 percent in the year-ago period; 55 percent lessened skin care purchases, compared with 32 percent the prior year, and 51 percent trimmed hair care spending compared with 32 percent. To compensate, WSL found shoppers are trading down to less-expensive brands and stores, using less and finishing products before buying replacements.
Sheila McCusker, editor of IRI Times & Trends, published by the Chicago-based market research firm Information Resources Inc., declared, "We view this time as an economic transformation."
She also noted that mass market shoppers are reacting to financial pressures by making changes, including trading down to private label products or lower-priced brands. "Should they do these actions two or three times, they could become habits" — habits that could be maintained well after the storm clouds dissipate, she forecasted.
McCusker, who researched IRI's recent economic study, "Competing in a Transforming Economy," said consumers with a household income of less than $55,000, who account for 60 percent of the population, can't afford their groceries. After all, the price of basic grocery list items — including eggs, pasta and milk — has surged 30 percent since January 2006, according to IRI. What's more, those little beauty luxuries, like lipstick, have also gone up in price. IRI reports that the prices of mass market lip cosmetics have increased 12 percent during the same time period.
McCusker said IRI is seeing declines across most major beauty categories. In the first quarter of 2008, mass market lip cosmetics sales volume decreased 7.7 percent, women's fragrances dropped 3.3 percent, hair styling gel was down 7.7 percent and nail cosmetics dipped 4.6, according to IRI, which excludes Wal-Mart. Eye cosmetics inched up 1.7 percent. Demand also is slipping for basic products, like shampoo and conditioner, noted McCusker, as families take a "family usage approach," buying one shampoo, for instance, instead of several to suit the needs of multiple family members.
"We don't expect any relief for consumers or the industry until the second quarter of 2009," said McCusker.
With little extra money to spare, IRI has found many shoppers are heading to super centers (or mass retail outlets with grocery departments) to stretch their funds. In fact, super centers' share of mass market beauty and personal care sales gained 2.3 points to 20.6 percent in the most recent quarter, which McCusker deemed a "very significant" rise.
Department stores are also feeling the aftershocks of consumers' spending restraint. In the first quarter of this year, beauty sales slid 13 percent, with all categories struggling, said Karen Grant, global beauty industry analyst at The NPD Group. She said first-quarter results were the worst the tracking firm had seen in a decade. Grant noted that January was particularly bad because there was an extra week in January 2007 versus January of this year, which negatively impacted overall first-quarter trends. However, another significant issue was that sales in February and March also declined, a trend that NPD had not seen in prior years.
Heading into the second quarter, sales began to rebound somewhat as new products began to be launched, and makeup and skin care sales gained momentum.
"Beauty is a category where consumers go for escape," said Grant. "People gravitate toward it and that's what we are seeing so far in the second quarter."
As they have done over the last year or more, department store retailers trimmed inventories to quicken product turns, which in some cases has resulted in out-of-stock items and dampened sales, commented several beauty executives.
But among the storm clouds there are rays of sunshine. Mottus said the success of specialty stores, like Sephora, shows there's currency in catering to beauty aficionados. Also, sales have followed enterprising beauty executives, said Mottus, naming Bare Escentuals' ceo Leslie Blodgett; Lyn Kirby, president and ceo of Ulta; Philosophy's founder, Cristina Carlino, and makeup artist Bobbi Brown.
"They have all have grown small companies into large ones," said Mottus.
When asked whether beauty firms should rein in new product launches during tough times, or get assertive, Giblen said, "It cuts both ways. On the one hand, given consumers are strapped, newness is the key to sales. On the other hand, spending a lot on advertising could be risky if you are pushing on a string of a weak economy."

Nimble larger car
by Doc from Macon Ga | August 14, 2012
I bought this car after having Major back surgery. Very easy in and out of this car with leather seats. Down side, seats (black) were very hot for Georgia summers. It handled extremely well, felt solid on winding roads. The engine 2.7L was a little under powered, but the really bad part, at 60,000 the car was burning a qt of oil every 900 miles. Finally had to sell too many little issues. All in all a decent ride.

Concorde LXI
by "Big Guy" from BField, CT | December 28, 2009
Bought this car when i was 15 for my first car. Had 88,000 miles on it when i bought it and started off with alot of problems like the radio didnt work leaked oil and trunk leaked when it rained. After putting some money in the car (under $1000) the car works great runs very smooth and being a sedan you feel like your driving a limo because its so long. VERY comfortable leather!! LXI edition is a must!! Runnin strong with over 100,000 miles

Mixed Emotions
by dramakid from Rural Nebraska | April 6, 2009
I got my Concorde LXI for my 16th birthday, with 81,000 one-owner miles on it. Today it just turned over 113,000 and is still running well. Great for long highway and interstate drives. Reliability has been so-so, sometimes it has a had time starting. All maintaince has been done at the local Chrysler dealership, and has been a good vehicle. It came with a factory Infiniti Sound System, and I had the front speakers replaced last year with new Infiniti acoustic speakers. The bad stuff- IT LEAKS AIR AND DUST. Before I had this Concorde I owned a 1990 Chrysler New Yorker Landau. I had the same problem with leakey back seats and trunk. The digital screen has also gone out on the climate control. Gas millage has gone down over the years... don't know why. A Concorde is NOT a vehicle that you want to own when you live in rural areas. I live on a ranch, and with our Nebraska winters I usually get stuck in the driveway.

solid vehicle
by Happy with first car from Chino, Ca | January 2, 2009
This was my first car and have had it since 2006. Everything works flawlessly without any expensive repairs or anything than normal oil change and what not. Styling on the vehicle is very attractive especially when compared to the other vehicles of 1998 which were, from what I have seen, generally ugly. I have the 3.2L V6 and it has served me well on the freeway. It is always able to pass when needed. On highway, if I am kind to it, it can get 32mpg, but if I am driving 80, it is closer to 27or 28. Urban driving is around 18 mpg. I have test driven many other vehicles over the years for fun and helped the girlfriend buy a car, and have to say it stocks up well, even against modern cars....sadly, even against its own modern Chrysler competition. A good vehicle, and u won't be dissapointed if u happen to be in the market for it. Try to get the Lxi version which comes with all of the bells and whistles.

I just purchased this 32DT2U tv and have an older Xbox 360 with the red, white and yellow AV cables. I hooked up the Yellow (video in) to the Green port, and finally got the sound working, but the screen is grey and white. I see the game and all, but there's no color. Any suggestions? Should I just get an HDMI cable to fix this? Thanks for your help.
There are two types of connections that look similar.
Composite cables are colored red, white, and yellow. The red and white ports are for stereo audio and the yellow port is for video.
Component cables are colored red, white, blue, green, and another red. The red and white pair are exactly the same as the composite ones. They carry stereo audio. However, the HD video is split into components (hence the name) and carried by the blue, green, and red.
Your TV does not have composite ports, and connecting the yellow composite cable to any of those component videos ports will not work.
I thought that the older Xbox 360s came with a cable that had both. In other words, it had the stereo pair for the audio, the three for component video, and the one for composite video. If that's the case, simply ignore the yellow cable and connect the other five. There should be a toggle on the base of the cable that plugs into the 360 with a toggle for SD and HD. Switch it to HD.
Of course, this is all from memory, and I'm definitely not a 360 technical support agent. I'm guessing if your cable was like this, you would have tried, so they must have shipped with different box contents at some point.
You could purchase a component cable or an HDMI cable if you only have a composite cable. Personally, I would go for HDMI.
I ordered HDMI Cables the other day, so all I'll need to plug in as far as the Xbox 360 is 1 HDMI cable and the power cord for the Xbox 360, correct? If so, thanks. The Xbox I have just has the composite cords, it doesn't have both pairs, so I'll wait and see if it works when I get those HDMI Cables hooked up. Thanks again.
That's correct, just the power cord and the HDMI cable (and controllers for charging)!

Historical Traveler Reviews Marcella Royal Hotel Rome
Great Location, lovely boutique hotel!!
Booked this hotel on strength of reviews on Trip Advisor and we were not disappointed! The hotel, whilst compact, was very comfortable and the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Location was great, we were able to walk to nearly all central Rome tourist attractions. Drinks in bar were well served but expensive compared with local bars, breakfast was OK but great choice locally of other options
Wonderful Experience
We booked our three night stay on the strength of the recommendations we read on Trip Advisor and were not disappointed. This hotel was wonderful. Rooms were well sized and clean. Staff was extremely professional and friendly. The courteous staff members spoke English and were quite tolerant of our earnest attempts to speak Italian. When asked for a recommendation for nearby dining, the manager not only gave us an excellent recommendation but had one of his staff actually accompany us to the restaurant (about 3 blocks away). They conveyed to us that it was their pleasure to assist us. Rooftop breakfast alone was worth the stay. Excellent buffet and the view of Rome was wonderful. If we travel to Rome again, the Marcella Royal would be our first choice and we cannot be stronger in our recommendation. Very minor (and only) drawback was that the hotel is a bit of a walk from the nearest Metro station and if you are not familiar with the street pattern, it would take some map skills to navigate. Best bet --take a white taxi from Termini station upon initial arrival and explore on subsequent days. Taxi fare should be in the range of +/- 10 Euros.
Boutique Marcella Royal Hotel
We stayed at Marcella Royal Easter week. Rome is Eternal and the weather was cold, wet, overcast, and rainy for nearly the entire week. However, the Marcella and staff were superb. I do not have one negative remark. We were worried that all restaurants would be closed Pasqua and Pasquetta. The helpful staff had a trattoria for every night. Pietro was charming and energetic. The entire staff was courteous. Morning breakfast was more than adequate. Marcella Royal is situated in a relatively quiet neighborhood but within a quick walk to Via Veneto and beyond. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. PR. Va.Beach
Great time at the Hotel Marcella Royal, full marks
We had a great time at the Hotel Marcella Royal, really nice rooms,small by standards in other countries very friendly staff ,lovely breakfast and very safe for our party consisting of 2 older ladies and 2 younger ladies. The staff recommended lovely restaurants, booking ahead & much cheaper than the restaurants round the main tourists attractions. The food was also far superior as was the wine. A few words of advice. Do not book the Chia Roma Bus tours, we booked a day in advance in person & the bus did not turn, we then had to argue for an hour to get our money back as the girl said as we had booked the day before we were not entitled to our money We wasted 2hours over this & as a result took the metro to the Colessum, being pick pocketed on route, beware of well dressed men in suits offering to show the way & escorting us on to the Metro as his accomoplise blocked one of our party getting onto the Metro and opened her bag taking the purse. A very sleek operation However a great time had by all, remember to check the times of opening for the Sistine Chapel, limited hours & mass is held in St peter,s every day at 5pm ,confession 5-7pm if so inclined . Inspite of being pickpocketed we had a great time .
Great hotel, nice and comfey...
I stayed at this hotel with my cousin a week in mid-March and I have to say it was excellent. The rooms were nice and clean, and the hotel staff was courteous and helpful. There was even a computer on our floor for guest use. The breakfast was nice and satisfying, with cereal, pasteries, ham, eggs, yogurt, milk, orange juice, and more. The hotel is in a good location, near the baths of Diocletian and close to metro and bus stops, yet still in a quiet area. The only thing I didn't like is that the bar on the rooftop wasn't open the evenings I was there, even though the weather was great. Otherwise, I can certainly recommend this hotel.
Beautiful Roman Nights
Stayed at the Marcella for a week last June. The staff was wonderful!
Evenings spent listening to the piano and drinking in the sights of the city from the rooftop. Room was large with lovely decor. We had a triple, so I can't speak for standard rooms. Hotel is a little off tourist beat. However, there is a wonderful little restaurant a few blocks down and several nearby. The bus access is also convenient from here. Ask the hotel staff and they will direct you. I was there with my daughters and felt completely safe in this neighborhood. We walked every evening. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Rome. By the way, air-conditioning is superb.
Loved the room and the service
We stayed for 4 nights in room 530 starting November 1, 2003. The room was wonderful with a sitting room, bedroom and large, modern bathroom.
Everyone was courteous and very helpful. Breakfast buffet was complete and tasty and the large, flower filled rooftop patio was beautiful. It was a little off the beaten path, but we did not find it a problem.
Would definitely stay there again. PG
Marvelous Marcella
My husband and I were guest at the Marcella from Sept. 22 - Sept. 29, 2003. The hotel was just what we hoped for - old world charm in a quiet hotel with an elegant lobby, large room - (we were in 618) friendly and helpful staff, and close enough to walk to the various attractions. The daily breakfast buffet was wonderful and we enjoyed the view from their rooftop both at breakfast time and in the evenings. In the evenings a keyboard player was there and that just added to the atmosphere. Great location in a residential area...not the hustle and bustle of the more tourist oriented hotels.
A little gem!
We had originally booked to stay at the nearby Hotel Gambrinus for the period 22- 25 August but owing to confusion concerning our reservation - there was "no room at the inn" - we were transferred to the Royal Marcella - and what a pleasant surprise! Excellent in every respect: quality and standard of hotel was exceptional; cleanliness of rooms and hotel in general; great rooftop terrace and live music; first class buffet breakfast; and excellent all round service from the staff. We would definitely go back to this hotel.
The Best Hotel in Rome
The Royal Marcella was one of the best hotels that we stayed at on our trip. The staff was friendly and willing to help you in any way. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was huge. The best part was that everynight at 9:00pm on the roof-top terrace there was live music. It was so relaxing to end the night looking over Rome, having a drink, and listening to the piano. When I go back, I could only stay at this hotel. I adored everything about it.

Hail Caesar Augustus!
We were off to the Colosseum! I learned more about the Romans in 2-1/2 hours than in the 15 years I've taught 3rd graders about it! Of course, I bought the greatest book and DVD to back up my new-found knowledge. It was so exciting to me, but I was trying to remain "cool" as not to seem stupido. :/ We had a fabulous dinner at Il Sorriso outdoor …
The First Day
We were exhausted from the flight and lack of sleep. After a 4 hour nap, at our boutique hotel we walked around this amazing city. The architectural details and huge fountains are too incredible to describe!
The Rome Grand Finale
... although I also enjoyed the dove in the oculus of the dome.
Being in this church reminded me I had not been inside the Santa Maria in Aracoeli Church. the one atop Capitoline Hill. It stands on the site where Emperor Augustus (supposedly) had a premonition about the coming of Mary and Christ standing on an "altar in the sky" (ara coeli). I had read in my guidebook that there was a shortcut to that church from the top of Capitoline Hill, avoiding the huge flight ...
Early Morning
... total. We sat in the McDonalds for about 1� hours waiting for the city to wake up and our room to be ready so we could go to sleep.
As we exited the McDonalds we could not believe how life had sprung to the streets. There were thousands of people wandering through carts of scarves, belts, souvenirs, Pope paraphernalia, my favorite, a calendar of cute catholic priests plus countless Indian immigrants aggressively trying to sell knock off ...
V Day
... join in and at other times all would sing in the softest voice and suddenly you hear that they were all singing and increasing in volume. The same happened at times as they faded to nothing. This was a 45 minute bonus on top of a moving mass at the end of a spectacular day. It reminded me of the singing we had heard with the Brandenburg Choir. Yeah, I liked it a lot. It was good. Dunno if I'll get another day like it. Don't care! Thanks Jake, you started V Day off perfectly. Happy V ...
