The tantrum in the House
Sigh. I guess the old maxim "you get the government your deserve" certainly rings true today. House Democrats are staging a sit in because the Speaker of the House won't call a bill to the floor that violates the Constitution and denies due process to people who are placed on its secret no-fly and terrorism lists.
They'd like you to believe it is a "gun control" bill. In fact, it is a "due process denial" bill, and we ought to refer to it that way. Their claim is expanding government's authority to defy the guarantees of the Constitution will help curb gun violence.
Really? How? Will it stop someone who ends up on the list and still wants to buy a gun from getting one? Certainly not as just about any criminal can tell you (and as study I linked a few posts back revealed). Again, that "Human Nature 101" thing seems to stump these deep thinkers.
And the irony is that one of those leading the charge for violating the Constitution and denying due process – civil rights icon John Lewis (okay, it's a bit of double irony) – was once placed on a no-fly list without due process.
So what has been the result of not getting their way and denying you due process protection? They've been reduced to throwing a collective tantrum and harkening back to the good old days when they were protesting Vietnam or whatever. They even come up with a clever chant – "No Bill. No Break". You see they're supposed to take a legislative break and now, apparently, the desire to deny you your rights is so strong they feel called to pretend they are Social Justice Warriors and act accordingly.
Where's "Black Lives Matter" when you need them. Now here is a perfect protest for them to hijack and they're nowhere in sight.
The Alarmists try RICO, the "deniers" counter with SLAPP
I'm sure you've been following this bizarre story about the left's attempt, through various blue Attorney's General, to use the RICO statute to
persecute prosecute so-called "climate deniers". One of the targets was the Competitive Enterprise Institute. CEI wasn't going to take it lying down and punched back:
A libertarian nonprofit group is seeking damages from the U.S. Virgin Islands' chief law enforcement officer, alleging a politically motivated legal campaign designed to stifle the group's policy advocacy activities.
Attorneys representing the Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a motion in a Washington, D.C. court on Monday alleging that Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude Walker violated a D.C. law designed to prevent frivolous legal actions targeting policy groups' rights to free speech and government redress.
The motion is the latest chapter in a developing legal battle between conservative and industry groups that oppose Democratic attorneys general in 17 states who are pursuing racketeering charges against oil giant Exxon Mobil.
Walker subpoenaed CEI last month as part of the anti-Exxon campaign. He demanded a decade's worth of internal documents and communications about the group's work on energy and environmental policy.
CEI told Walker to stuff it and shot back:
Andrew Grossman, a BakerHostetler attorney representing CEI, called the subpoena "offensive," "unlawful," and "un-American" in an April reply. He vowed to fight the subpoena, which was filed in D.C., where CEI is headquartered.
An attorney representing a group of AGs, including Walker, in their Exxon probe replied on Friday, telling CEI that it is abandoning its subpoena but reserving the right to restart the effort at any point in the future.In response, Grossman and his BakerHostetler colleague David Rivkin filed a motion to vacate the subpoena entirely. They are also asking the court to reimburse CEI for its legal fees and levy additional penalties on Walker's office as a means of discouraging abuses of the D.C. legal system.
Walker's "bad faith purpose in wielding this Court's power to subpoena … warrants sanctions," the attorneys wrote in a Monday motion. "Sanctions are necessary here 'to punish abuses of the judicial process and to deter future abuses,'" they wrote, quoting a prior case involving D.C.'s anti-SLAPP statute.
The acronym SLAPP stands for "strategic lawsuit against public participation," and refers to efforts to shut down an opposing party's speech or political advocacy through frivolous lawsuits.
This is what has to be done to stop this foolishness. All it costs the AG is your tax money. So, in reality, it cost them nothing. But the people or organizations they target actually end up having to reach deeply into their own pockets to defend themselves from these frivolous lawsuits.
Here's hoping CEI is able to whack this nonsense in the head quickly. As their attorney said, it's "offensive", "unlawful" and "un-American." It is also an obnoxious and obvious abuse of power. Time to reel this bunch ideological hitmen back in and do quickly. And it wouldn't hurt at all if the lawsuit found some of the AG's personally responsible and made them pay fines out of their own fund for the abuse of their office (not that it will happen … I understand that, but I guy can wish). Short of that, running them out of office will suffice.
First shot in a successful Constitutional war against ObamaCare?
We can only hope so … but then, one should remember that John Roberts sold his soul and his intellectual reputation to make payment for it into a tax. So we shall see. But some heartening news today if you're someone who believes those in government should be held to the Constitution's restrictions on government.
In a major ruling, Judge Rosemary Collyer, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said the administration does not have the power to spend money on "cost sharing reduction payments" to insurers without an appropriation from Congress.
Collyer's decision doesn't immediately go into effect, however, so that the administration can appeal it."This is an historic win for the Constitution and the American people," Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in a statement. "The court ruled that the administration overreached by spending taxpayer money without approval from the people's representatives."At issue are billions of dollars paid to insurance companies participating in ObamaCare so they can reduce customers' out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles for low-income people.
The House GOP argued that the administration was unconstitutionally spending money on these payments without Congress's approval.
Of course that's an almost daily occurrence for the past few decades. The lines have blurred and no one is held accountable. Oversight? What a joke.
How far this will go and whether the decision will be upheld is a mystery at this point, but not much of one … see again the first sentence.
The administration, of course, had an answer:
But the administration said it did not need an appropriation from Congress because the funds were already guaranteed by the healthcare reform law in the same section as its better-known tax credits that help people pay for coverage.
Yup, the executive needs no permission to spend your money anymore, just as he or she no longer needs permission to wage war. Blurred lines becoming even blurrier. Separation of powers? Get real.
Imperial presidency? For quite a while. The Judge, though, wasn't buying the explanation:
Collyer ruled that the section only appropriated funds for tax credits and said the cost sharing reductions require a separate congressional appropriation, which the administration does not currently have.
"Such an appropriation cannot be inferred," Collyer wrote. "None of Secretaries' extra-textual arguments — whether based on economics, 'unintended' results, or legislative history — is persuasive. The Court will enter judgment in favor of the House of Representatives and enjoin the use of unappropriated monies to fund reimbursements due to insurers under Section 1402."
Good for her. It won't dismantle the dreadful system, but it does take another chink out of its funding. It's a start. But whether the start will later faulter and fail to be upheld is still to be seen. In today's world, unfortunately, the likelihood of that sort of a failure is much more prevalent than had this ruling come down 40 or 50 years ago when most people still believed in a much more limited government constrained by the Constitution.
Brave new world … one that promises to be much like the old and oppressive world if some have their way.
Dangerous ground or much ado about nothing?
The FBI, in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack, has gone to court and gotten a judge to order Apple to write software to decrypt the iPhones the two terrorists used. The FBI has been unable to decrypt them on their own.
Apple has refused to comply.
After reading much of the back and forth between government and Apple, I'm with Apple. As the Electronic Freedom Frontier said:
The government is asking Apple to create a master key so that it can open a single phone," it said Tuesday evening. "And once that master key is created, we're certain that our government will ask for it again and again, for other phones, and turn this power against any software or device that has the audacity to offer strong security."
It's about violating your privacy by being ordered to hand the government the key with implied permission to use it. Think Pandora's Box. Forget security, you may as well not encrypt a phone if a master key is available out there. We'd love to believe the government when it says it will only use that software once, but anyone with a modicum of intelligence (and experience with governments) knows how likely that is. And, well, we also know how well our government does cyber security, don't we Ms. Clinton?
Er, anyway – the government is using a 18th century law, the All Writs Act, to claim that it can demand such software from Apple.
The law lets judges "issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages and principles of law."
A little word salad that has the government claiming it has every right to make this demand do just about anything it chooses (if it can get a judge to say so).
Marc J. Zwillinger, a lawyer for Apple, wrote in a letter for a related case in October that the All Writs Act could not be interpreted to "force a company to take possession of a device outside of its possession or control and perform services on that device, particularly where the company does not perform such services as part of its business and there may be alternative means of obtaining the requested information available to the government."
The government says it does not have those alternative means.
Mr. Cook's statement called the government's demands "chilling."
"If the government can use the All Writs Act to make it easier to unlock your iPhone, it would have the power to reach into anyone's device to capture their data. The government could extend this breach of privacy and demand that Apple build surveillance software to intercept your messages, access your health records or financial data, track your location, or even access your phone's microphone or camera without your knowledge."
This is another indicator of how corrosive the "War on Terror" has been to our liberties. It's like slow drip acid, with every drop another assault on what we once took for granted as protections against an invasive government. And our government has been more and more invasive as concerns our privacy since this "war" began.
Sometimes, looking at what the government attempts to do in the name of security, you'd think the terrorists had won, wouldn't you?
Bogus Bernie burned by WaPo (Democrats with bylines)
Don't expect this sort of treatment should Queen Hillary ever get the nomination. Expect every one of the GOP candidates to be treated like this if they're even somewhat viable. The Washington Post takes Bernie to the whipping post:
Mr. Sanders's story continues with fantastical claims about how he would make the European social model work in the United States. He admits that he would have to raise taxes on the middle class in order to pay for his universal, Medicare-for-all health-care plan, and he promises massive savings on health-care costs that would translate into generous benefits for ordinary people, putting them well ahead, on net. But he does not adequately explain where those massive savings would come from. Getting rid of corporate advertising and overhead would only yield so much. Savings would also have to come from slashing payments to doctors and hospitals and denying benefits that people want.
He would be a braver truth-teller if he explained how he would go about rationing health care like European countries do. His program would be more grounded in reality if he addressed the fact of chronic slow growth in Europe and explained how he would update the 20th-century model of social democracy to accomplish its goals more efficiently. Instead, he promises large benefits and few drawbacks.
And that's just a sample. They pretty much trash the low information, economically illiterate's dream candidate. Bernie's the "free stuff" guy, yet even he has to admit that someone has to pay for his "free stuff". Of course those who support him stop listening right after "free".
But that's really not the point. Hillary is sinking in the polls. The presumptive favorite is in a tight race in the first two primary states. Bernie, despite the fact that he's clueless, is almost even with the chosen one of the big time Washington media establishment. You know, the one's with Democrats with bylines? Way to close for comfort. And Clinton isn't helping. In fact, it seems she's beginning to crack a little bit. Additionally, she's wearing thin with the voters who are just as tired of the circus she was a ringmaster in as they are of the Bush dynasty. And all these reminders of her past residence in the big house is beginning to make inroads and erode her support. Then there's that email thingie.
So up steps the editorial board of the WaPo to take a few well aimed pot shots at her closest competitor. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily disagree with anything they say about Bernie. I just question the timing and intent.
That said, I loved this chaser they included near the end:
Mr. Sanders tops off his narrative with a deus ex machina: He assures Democrats concerned about the political obstacles in the way of his agenda that he will lead a "political revolution" that will help him clear the capital of corruption and influence-peddling. This self-regarding analysis implies a national consensus favoring his agenda when there is none and ignores the many legitimate checks and balances in the political system that he cannot wish away.
The political strategy of a crocodile tear
Mr. Obama shed a tear yesterday as he told us why he was going to bypass Congress and enact gun control (at least a small part of it) by executive order. Speaking of "gun violence" instead of violence in general, he said:
"We do not have to accept this carnage as the price of freedom," Obama said.
That's simply poppycock. We don't have to like it but freedom, as has been said any thousands of times, is not free. Nor is it pretty or neat. Nor are there those who don't suffer because of it. It always has a cost – a price. But the alternative, what most Democrats seem to want, is the state deciding everything you can or cannot do, everything you can or cannot own. That alternative is unacceptable to those who value freedom and are willing to suffer the cost.
No one is in favor of "carnage". But it isn't the guns which cause the violence, sir. Figure it out please. When you tell me that abortion instruments are what kill about a million unborn human beings in the US each year, perhaps I'll at least consider your thinking to be somewhat consistent. And of course, that means cars and pools and rope, well you name it, also need to be controlled even more because the "carnage" they cause rivals anything to do with that involving guns.
Gee, given the numbers, perhaps he ought to be going after Planned Parenthood instead of demonizing the NRA.
Oh, and this was rich:
"No matter how many times people try to twist my words around, I taught constitutional law, I know a little bit about this. I get it," he said. "But I also believe that we can find ways to reduce gun violence consistent with the Second Amendment."
Apparently he thinks he knows the Constitution, but if true, he'd know it doesn't allow aristocracy, and certainly it doesn't allow kings. Laws are passed through Congress and if the President doesn't have the heft or gravitas or whatever he needs to see it done, then it doesn't get done. Obama doesn't have any of that. And the people have been quite clear that they don't consider guns or gun control to be much of an issue. In fact, it barely registers, no pun intended. So instead he does "work arounds" with executive orders. Tell us again about how you know the Constitution, please?
But let's get to the nuts and bolts of what went on yesterday, shall we? It is about, get ready for it, ideology:
Despite professing an unflinching commitment to curbing gun violence, Obama and Biden have been thwarted by Congress and what Obama calls a lack of national will to change the way Americans think about guns.
Got it. It's about changing the way you think about guns. Its about making them the equivalent of a cigarette. You remember when cigarettes were popular? And what happened? Well, think about it. It wasn't about people making poor choices and suffering for them that was the "cause" of their diseases. It wasn't about their refusal to heed the strident warnings about smoking. It became "the cigarette". That was the "cause". And it was the cigarette that was killing people, not the people's choices. The object became the problem. People were excused for making poor decisions even though the information that cigarettes caused horrific health problems had been out for years … decades.
The same sort of argument is being made about guns and "the strategy of a tear" was just the latest emotional appeal to a people who've been pretty darn logical about guns so far and aren't buying into the argument as readily as they did with cigarettes. In fact, they're not buying into it at all and are, instead, buying more and more guns. If you can't get them to swing your way, cry on national TV. That'll show 'em how sincere you are. And, of course, it seems to have fooled a good number of people out there already.
But to the point – this is frustration for Obama because you and most Americans won't think the way he wants you to. So? So screw you, he'll stamp his feet, hold his breath and make you do it by taking unilateral action. But he knows the Constitution, by George.
This is just another in a long line of tantrums by this man. When he can't get his way, he simply looks for a means to impose his will. He has no concept of what a President is or what one is supposed to do and he's certainly no Constitutional scholar. This is just the latest example.
So why is the cigarette model not working for the left? For the most part it is because there really is no redeeming value to a cigarette. But there is tremendous positive value to a gun. You can't defend yourself or your family with a cigarette. You can't feel more secure in your person with a cigarette. You can't protect your life or your property with a cigarette. So despite the demonization of the object the left has committed itself too, the positive aspects of gun ownership simply won't be buried, even with a tear.
The bottom line however should be clear – the left will do whatever it thinks necessary to strip Americans of their right to own firearms. You will see every sort of argument tendered and numbers that, without context, seem horrific. Such as "30,000" gun deaths – 62% of which are suicides. Anyone who believes removing guns will prevent suicide just isn't very serious about discussing suicide. Japan, which has strict gun control laws, has more suicides than the US. The problem isn't the means. It is the mental state of the person. 35% are homicides, most gang related. No matter the laws passed, criminals are not going to obey them. This seems to be a point the left can't comprehend. And finally accidents claim most of the remainder (about 606 in 2010). "Mass shootings"? A small minority of the final total. And, in fact, gun violence and gun homicides are and have been trending down for quite some time.
However, like "climate change", the alarmist hysteria continues despite the fact that the data doesn't support it.
So now, it is all about an emotion. A tear.
My freedom isn't for sale for a tear, crocodile or otherwise, Mr. Obama.
Would you invited a known killer who hated you into your house?
Yeah, me neither. Yet, we have a group of people out there who are more than willing to take the chance of "inviting" known killers who hate us into the country.
As usual, the media and some pundits have turned a very gray area into stark black and white arguments. You're apparently for allowing open immigration to anyone or you're a racist and a bigot if you opt to be selective.
What I'm talking about is the majority of the nation which is reasonably concerned that those who would kill us are seeking entry into the country without being screened and, if necessary, rejected. This is characterized as "unAmerican". So, then, was Ellis Island where we rejected would be immigrants if they were sick or had criminal backgrounds, etc.
Andy McCarthy had this to say:
Let's bear in mind that permitting immigration is a discretionary national act. There is no right to immigrate to the United States, and the United States has no obligation to accept immigrants from any country, including Muslim-majority countries. We could lawfully cut off all immigration, period, if we wanted to. Plus, it has always been a basic tenet of legal immigration to promote fidelity to the Constitution and assimilation into American society — principles to which classical sharia is antithetical. . . .
All important points, but the final point is most likely the most important. McCarthy again:
Our constitutional principle of religious liberty is derived from the Western concept that the spiritual realm should be separate from civic and political life. The concept flows from the New Testament injunction to render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's.
Crucially, the interpretation of Islam that is mainstream in most Muslim-majority countries does not accept a division between mosque and state. . . .
The lack of separation between spiritual and civic life is not the only problem with Islam. Sharia is counter-constitutional in its most basic elements — beginning with the elementary belief that people do not have a right to govern themselves freely. Islam, instead, requires adherence to sharia and rejection of all law that contradicts it. So we start with fundamental incompatibility, before we ever get to other aspects of sharia: its systematic discrimination against non-Muslims and women; its denial of religious liberty, free speech, economic freedom, privacy rights, due process, and protection from cruel and unusual punishments; and its endorsement of violent jihad in furtherance of protecting and expanding the territory it governs.
And that's where we must draw the line. If an immigrant wants to become an American, recognize the separation of church and state and embrace the constitutional principles which govern this country, I say "welcome". If not, I say, "don't let the doorknob hit you in the ass as you leave".
Of course, the left's legacy of "multiculturalism" says we must respect different cultures and learn to live with them. I say, no we don't. Why? Because some cultures are destructive and some cultures are inferiors. I know, not politically correct, but certainly reality based (something the left once tried to convince us was a description of their ideological grounding).
You would no more invite a killer that hated you and wanted to take over your house into your home than any other sane person. There's no reason why we shouldn't apply the same principle to this country (and for those of you who don't read carefully, that means we don't keep out all Muslims, only those (of any religion or ethnic group) who refuse to recognize our Constitutional principles and won't assimilate).
We don't "owe" them anything.
About San Bernardino
One – the immediate politicization of any tragedy involving guns, facts or no facts:
Just when we think that politics can't sink any lower, President Obama once again proves us wrong by politicizing the tragedy in San Bernardino before the facts were even known. What we do know is that the American people are heartbroken by these horrific crimes — and despite what the president would have us believe — America's law-abiding gun owners are heartbroken by these horrific crimes as well. At the same time, we are sick and tired of this president suggesting the men and women of the National Rifle Association are somehow to blame.
Why, you ask? Well because this supposed "leader" of ours is all about politics and agendas. He's already decided what is "best" for the rest of us whether or not the actual fact match the narrative or not.
Two, which is related to One. The hypocrisy and cowardice of the left. Radical Islam has struck more than once here in the US the and cowards won't acknowledge it or face it. But they will vilify and defame those who won't strike back and blame them for the problem such as Christians, the NRA, and the Right in general. God help you if you believe in the 2nd Amendment.
Yes I know Jon Gabriel and yes I know he's being totally sarcastic. I also know he makes the point perfectly. By the way, did you see where Bloomberg and MSNBC tweeted that the shooting was only "blocks away from a Planned Parenthood" facility. See "One" above. Think narrative construction.
Three – we now have the Attorney General of the United States promising to take action against US citizens if she considers their rhetoric to be anti-Muslim and "edges" towards violence:
Attorney General Loretta Lynch on Thursday warned that the Justice Department could take aggressive action against people whose anti-Muslim rhetoric "edges towards violence" and told the Muslim community that "we stand with you in this."
Speaking at Muslim Advocate's 10th anniversary dinner, Lynch said since the terrorist attacks in Paris last month, she is increasingly concerned with the "incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric … that fear is my greatest fear."
Who will be the arbiter? And, why selective treatment? See "Two" above. They won't face the real enemy and they want to chill speech pretending it is anti-Muslim rhetoric that is the problem, not Radical Islamists.
These three things are consistent in every shooting that involved radical muslims. One, the attempt to initially frame it so that the right is the problem. Then to frame it as if it was just another "mass shooting" – you know, "workplace violence." The cause: guns, not followers of a 7th century death cult. Two, deny, deny, deny and try to shift the blame. Don't face the reality of the problem. "ISIS is contained". Instead of facing the problem and addressing it, Mr. Obama's answer is to contemplate stricter gun laws by executive order that will do nothing to stop what happened in CA. But the left believes that the criminals and killers out there will be done … even though in California had every law Obama want's nationally in place and supposedly functioning and the Islamic Radicals still had the banned weapons. Third, the erosion of freedom. Now we have the AG saying she'll decide what "edges" toward violent rhetoric and will apparently act unilaterally to arrest the "perpetrator". However rhetoric "edging" toward violence against any other non-protected group?
Colleges: First Amendment outdated?
That, at least, is the result of a survey recently completed:
To put some numbers behind that perception, The William F. Buckley Jr. Program at Yale recently commissioned a survey from McLaughlin & Associates about attitudes towards free speech on campus. Some 800 students at a variety of colleges across the country were surveyed. The results, though not surprising, are nevertheless alarming. By a margin of 51 percent to 36 percent, students favor their school having speech codes to regulate speech for students and faculty. Sixty-three percent favor requiring professors to employ "trigger warnings" to alert students to material that might be discomfiting. One-third of the students polled could not identify the First Amendment as the part of the Constitution that dealt with free speech. Thirty-five percent said that the First Amendment does not protect "hate speech," while 30 percent of self-identified liberal students say the First Amendment is outdated.
This is simply the latest proof that colleges and universities in this nation are turning from bastions of free speech and academic freedom to institutions that are enabling and enforcing "speech codes" that student activists demand. The result is the death of "robust intellectual debate" on campus. Now administrations feel moved to "protect" those who are uncomfortable with uncomfortable ideas. And they demand penalties and the quashing of those ideas. The very notion that our great institutions of higher learning have bought into this anti-intellectualism should be an anathema to them. But instead they support these sorts of movements.
Just recently Williams College began an "Uncomfortable Learning" speaker series to provide "intellectual diversity" on campus. Ironically, it then disinvited conservative writer Suzanne Venker when, according to the college, her proposed visit was "stirring a lot of angry reactions among students on campus." Obviously her ideas went beyond "uncomfortable learning", however Willams College now defines that phrase. But one thing is clear, Williams College is about as committed to "intellectual diversity" as Hillary Clinton is to the truth.
Given all this, is anyone even remotely surprised to see supposed intellectuals who are the products of this sort of education system calling for the jailing of "climate deniers" and the banning of their speech? Free speech is dying in this country and it is doing so in the very institutions that should be its staunchest defender.
Property and privacy rights? Or drone rights?
A Kentucky man shot down an $1,800 drone hovering over his sunbathing daughter and was then arrested and charged with first degree criminal mischief and first-degree wanton endangerment.
"My daughter comes in and says, 'Dad, there's a drone out here flying,' " William H. Merideth, 47, told a local Fox News affiliate reported Tuesday. The Bullitt County father shot at the drone, which crashed in a field near his yard Sunday night.
The owner of the drone claims he was only trying to take pictures of a friend's house, the station reported.
"I went and got my shotgun and I said, 'I'm not going to do anything unless it's directly over my property,' " Mr. Merideth said, noting that the drone briefly disappeared when his daughter waved it off. "Within a minute or so, here it came. It was hovering over top of my property, and I shot it out of the sky. I didn't shoot across the road, I didn't shoot across my neighbor's fences, I shot directly into the air."
Most people would say, "good for him". He felt his privacy and property rights were being violated by some possible peeping Tom and he took action to protect both. As he says, he "didn't shoot across the road, I didn't shoot across my neighbor's fences, I shot directly into the air."
He had a good, sound reason to take action:
"He didn't just fly over," he said. "If he had been moving and just kept moving, that would have been one thing — but when he come directly over our heads, and just hovered there, I felt like I had the right."
"You know, when you're in your own property, within a six-foot privacy fence, you have the expectation of privacy," he said. "We don't know if he was looking at the girls. We don't know if he was looking for something to steal. To me, it was the same as trespassing."
Exactly. The unknown, coupled with the concerns plus the fact that the drone was purposely and repeatedly being flown where it had no permission to fly, prompted Merideth to action. And he removed the possible threat.
End of story?
Hardly. The 4 people who were engaged in flying and hovering the drone over his property showed up to confront him. Then the police showed up. Who got arrested? Well the property owner, of course.
As Scott Shackford of Hit & Run points out:
You'd think it would be obvious that it's not a good idea to pilot an expensive piece of surveillance equipment just casually over other people's properties, not just out of respect for other people's privacy, but because you could lose the thing.
You'd think. But instead it is the man who was guarding both is privacy and his property rights who ends up going to jail. Apparently his expectation of privacy and his property rights concerning trespass weren't enough to save him from catching a ride in the police van.
Tell me again about our "Constitutional rights" to both privacy and property? Apparently drone's trump them.

When the Worst Happens: SharePoint Recovery
In the last few years, SharePoint has grown up right before the eyes. It started out as a scrappy little web application that everyone knew about, but nobody knew what it was or what it did. Then it matured and stepped out into the spotlight. Now, with its latest version, SharePoint 2010, it's a superstar. For people SharePoint administrators, that's both good news and bad news. The good news is now people, and the trusty SharePoint, will finally get the respect people so richly deserve from the organizations and peers. The bad news is that with wider adoption, SharePoint now requires more attention.

The CA/Browser Forum has released the "Baseline Requirements for the Issuance and Management of Publicly-Trusted Certificates," the first international baseline standard for the operation of Certification Authorities (CAs) issuing SSL/TLS digital certificates natively trusted in browser software. SSL/TLS digital certificates are used to authenticate the ownership of websites and other online resources, as well as to encrypt information for privacy as it crosses the Internet and other networks. "SSL/TLS certificates are a critical part of the Internet's security infrastructure, combining proven technical standards with the capability to scale to handle millions of websites and the wide array of user software," said Tim Moses, Chairman of the CA/Browser Forum. "The new Baseline Requirements will improve the reliability and accountability of SSL/TLS issuance for relying parties by establishing baseline standards for all types of SSL/TLS certificates from all publicly-trusted CAs." The Baseline Requirements draw upon best practices from across the SSL/TLS sector to provide clear standards for CAs on important subjects including verification of identity, certificate content and profiles, CA security, revocation mechanisms, use of algorithms and key sizes, audit requirements, liability, privacy and confidentiality, and delegation (including external sub-CAs and registration authorities). The Baseline Requirements become effective on July 1, 2012 allowing CAs time to bring their SSL/TLS policies and practices into compliance with the standard. The CA/B Forum intends to continue development of the Baseline Requirements to address the evolving risks and threats involving the issuance or use of SSL/TLS certificates. The CA/Browser Forum was formed in 2006 and previously created the "Extended Validation" (EV) standard for SSL/TLS. EV was designed for banks and other high profile websites providing enhanced confirmation of the legitimacy of a website and the identity of its owner, consistent across all EV-issuing CAs. "With the Baseline Requirements, for the first time we will have a consistent international standard for the issuance of all SSL/TLS, including the many variations of Domain Validation and Organisation Validation," said Eddy Nigg of the StartCom CA. "This has been a multiyear effort involving more than 50 organisations including the major browser suppliers and CAs from around the world, as well as representatives from the Internet standards and audit/legal community along with major relying parties that use SSL/TLS." Certification Authority members of the CA/Browser Forum range from the large multinational CAs to smaller issuers focused on geographic regions or specific industries. Major CAs have already voiced their commitment to implement the Baseline Requirements targeting the 2012 effective date. These include CA/Browser Forum members Symantec, Go Daddy, Comodo, GlobalSign, DigiCert, Entrust, StartCom, TrustWave, QuoVadis, Certum, T‑Systems, Izenpe, and BuyPass representing more than 94% of all valid public SSL/TLS according to the independent Netcraft survey. The CA/Browser Forum has requested that internet browsers and operating systems adopt the Baseline Requirements among their conditions to distribute CA root certificates in their software. According to Kathleen Wilson of Mozilla, "Four years ago the CA/Browser Forum released the Extended Validation guidelines that established consistent standards for identity validation. The Baseline Requirements provide a foundation for best practices across the industry by defining a single, consolidated set of essential standards for all SSL/TLS certificates for the first time." The CA/B Forum has also requested that the major audit regimes used by CAs, WebTrust and ETSI, develop audit criteria to assess compliance with the Baseline Requirements. Further information on the CA/Browser Forum and the Baseline Requirements may be found at http://cabforum.org/ Additional Support for the CAB/Forum Baseline Requirements "Today marks a big step forward for Internet security," said Fran Rosch, Vice President of Identity and Authentication Services at Symantec. "This new SSL/TLS standard for trusted Certification Authorities is a particularly important development right now considering the increasingly dangerous cyber threat landscape. Symantec is dedicated to supporting this industry effort and we look forward to helping move this initiative to the next level." "Comodo see the Baseline Requirements as both raising the bar on certification practice and beginning a process of unifying previously disparate policy requirements on Certification Authorities," said Robin Alden, CTO of Comodo CA Ltd. "When these requirements come into force they will surely simplify the mapping between browser policy and CA policy and also ensure the auditability of the CA's practice in order that auditors may reliably check that the operation of CAs meets the required standards and thereby increase CA integrity and the perception of CA integrity." "The Baseline Requirements and associated best practices will add new clarity and understanding around SSL/TLS technology and its critical role in modern Internet society," said Steve Roylance, Business Development Director at GlobalSign. "The Baseline Requirements will provide a consistent security footing for the variety of SSL/TLS products available from different CAs around the world, said Ken Bretschneider, CEO of DigiCert. "While the Extended Validation standard helped protect the most visible targets of phishing, the ongoing Baseline initiative will benefit all users of SSL/TLS certificates and the https security they provide." "Prior to the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements, there really was not a common standard for the issuance of SSL certificates," said Entrust Certificate Services general manager David Rockvam. "The Baseline Requirements draw upon years of SSL/TLSE experience, from a wide selection of CAs and other stakeholders, to provide critical guidelines for the secure future of SSL/TLS issuance, verification, and revocation. It's an instrumental step in ensuring the integrity of the Internet trust infrastructure." "Previously Certification Authorities had to interpret overlapping standards from different software providers, regulators, and audit regimes," said Roman Brunner, CEO of QuoVadis. "With the Baseline Requirements the core standards are integrated in one document, clarifying responsibilities and increasing accountability for trusted CAs that issue SSL/TLS digital certificates." About the CA/Browser Forum The CA/Browser Forum is a voluntary organization of Certification Authorities and suppliers of Internet browser and other software applications that use digital certificates.

Product Overview
Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, Da Ali G Show and Talladega Nights) brings you the comedy that has started more conversations, generated more controversy and dared to go further than ever before!
As Bruno travels the world in search of fame, everyone he encounters -- celebrities, politicians, Hasidic Jews, terrorists and cage fighters -- becomes a stepping-stone to stardom, with hilarious results!

|Bruno allows Sacha Baron Cohen to bring another member of his rogues' gallery of misfits to the big screen. This is a worthy successor to Borat and employs the similar tactic of exploiting the stupidity, ignorance, and prejudice of Americans as a form of satire and social commentary. This time around, however, the formula is a little more mean-sprited than last time, and some moments of discomfort within Bruno result from a sense that the filmmakers are not playing fair. The spontaneity of Borat is largely absent and, although some sequences are undoubtedly unrehearsed, there are indications that some were staged. The difficulty in telling one from the other speaks to the craft used to assemble the production, but it also robs Bruno of a key element - the belief that Baron Cohen is using "real" Americans to illustrate his points. The "reality" embraced by Bruno is no less artificial than the one embraced by many so-called "reality" television shows. When it comes to making viewers laugh, however, Bruno hits a home run - provided the viewer is not easily offended. For Baron Cohen, there are no sacred cows and he sets out to shock those who profess to be "unshockable."...Ultimately, Bruno does what it sets out to do: provide social commentary through the most violent of guerilla tactics, camouflaged by waves of laughter at highly "inappropriate" comedy. Those who have seen Bruno's segments on The Ali G. Show and who have experienced Borat will not be overly surprised by where this movie goes, but the demographic is limited. There are those who will praise this as brilliant filmmaking (Baron Cohen is ably assisted by Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry Charles, who also directed Borat) and others who will demonize it as hateful, pornographic excess. Some, in fact, will use the latter reaction to justify the former. For my part, I was glad to find a movie that pulled no punches in its quest to generate laughter. For those of a non-Puritanical mindset, it's hard to deny that Bruno succeeds in being both outrageous and outrageously funny, and it's hard to damn a comedy, regardless of its faults, for those qualities.
|James Berardinelli
|Chicago Sun-Times
|Bruno is a no-holds-barred comedy permitting several holds I had not dreamed of. The needle on my internal Laugh Meter went haywire, bouncing among hilarity, appreciation, shock, admiration, disgust, disbelief and appalled incredulity. Here is a film that is 82 minutes long and doesn't contain 30 boring seconds. There should be a brief segment at the next Spirit Awards with John Waters conferring the Knighthood of Bad Taste to Sacha Baron Cohen. If he decides to tap Cohen on each shoulder with his sword, I want to have my eyes closed...To describe Cohen's character Bruno as flamboyantly gay would be an understatement. He makes Bruce Vilanch seem like Mike Ditka. Bruno is disgraced in his native Austria when he wears a Velcro suit to Fashion Week and sticks to backdrops, curtains and models. It's slapstick worthy of Jerry Lewis. Then he flies to Los Angeles with Lutz (Gustaf Hammarsten), his loyal worshipper, vowing to become a celebrity...As in his 2006 hit Borat, Cohen places his character into situations involving targets who may not be in on the joke, and have never heard of Bruno or, for that matter, Sacha Baron Cohen. Some of the situations may be set up with actors, but most are manifestly the real thing. I include an interview in which Bruno lures Rep. Ron Paul into a hotel room, his appearance on a Dallas TV morning show, the screening of a TV pilot before a focus group, counseling with two Alabama ministers dedicated to "curing" homosexuals and a gay wrestling match before a crowd that is dangerously real...The movie is directed by Larry Charles, who in Borat, Bill Maher's Religulous and his TV series Curb Your Enthusiasm has specialized in public embarrassment. Come to think of it, this may explain his outstandingly awful feature film debut, the Bob Dylan vehicle Masked and Anonymous (2003). In that one, stars like Jeff Bridges, Penelope Cruz, Angela Bassett, John Goodman, Val Kilmer and Luke Wilson appeared as straight men while Dylan as Jack Fate occasionally deigned to utter brief and enigmatic proverbs. Maybe they were told, ha-ha, they were going to appear in a real movie.

Bucs praise crazy crowds at PNC Park
YOUNGSTOWN – The newest member of the Pittsburgh Pirates spent last October wishing, hoping and dreaming for a chance to fulfill a lifelong dream.
"I watched the Pirates in the playoffs on my TV," said Jaff Decker. "Those are the kind of games I've wanted to play in since I was a little kid."
Decker, 23, has been in the San Diego Padres organization since he was drafted out of Sunrise Mountain High School in Peoria, Ariz., as a first round selection in 2008. On Nov. 25, Decker, along with pitcher Miles Mikolas, was traded to the Pirates in exchange for first baseman Alex Dickerson.
"I'm excited to help this team and hopefully go further than what they did last year," Decker said at the Butler Institute of American Art on Wednesday as part of the Pirates annual caravan event. "What they have going for them is pretty special and I'm glad to be a part of it now.
"Knowing how long it's been since they've made the playoffs and won a World Series you want to be a part of a special team that has potential to do that."
Pittsburgh relief pitcher Jared Hughes was chosen by the Pirates in the fourth round of the 2006 draft. Even then he knew the organization's goals to turnaround a major league team that hadn't had a winning season in 20 years.
"We needed to win," Hughes said. "It was this big cloud just sitting over you. Last year, we got to win, we got to get to the playoffs and it was just awesome. It was better than I expected and I think that we're ready to do it again."
Hughes, however, did have one problem with the record-setting crowds that packed PNC Park for its three home playoff games.
"The fans are going nuts waving the black towels that they gave out around their heads," he said. "In the dugout, this black rain of lint was falling down. Every time something good happened you had to cover your face.
"Just being there, being a part of it, was so special. The fans went above and beyond anything you could ever expect, I've never seen anything like that."
The Pirates finished the 2013 regular season with a 94-68 record. On Sept. 3, they defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3 in Milwaukee to win their 81st game of the season, clinching their first non-losing season since 1992. Then, following a four-game losing streak, the Pirates defeated the Texas Rangers 1-0 on September 9 for their 82nd win, clinching their first winning season in 21 years.
With a Pittsburgh win over the Chicago Cubs and a Washington Nationals loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, the Pirates clinched a playoff berth on Sept. 23.
Nobody knows the tribulations of being invested in the Pirates organization more than Steve Blass. In a 10-year playing career with Pittsburgh, Blass won more than 100 games and pitched a complete game in Game 7 of the 1971 World Series, lifting the Pirates to a clinching win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Blass is now a color commentator for Pirates radio and television broadcasts.
"It was fabulous," he said. "We've been waiting for this for 20 years. We had previews in 2011 and 2012, but it just all came together. The city bought into it; the city embraced it.
"We always said that if we had a ball club to match the ballpark, it would be a circus-type atmosphere and it was. There were 20 sell outs and over 2.2 million fans at the park. It really brought back the absolute fact of how good of a baseball town Pittsburgh is. It has the heritage, it was the legacy and fans who get behind their ball club."
The Pirates' 6-2 Wild Card Game win over the Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park attracted 40,487 fans to the first taste of postseason baseball since Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Doug Drabek led the 1992 Pirates to the National League Championship Series.
"I've seen Super Bowls, Stanley Cup finals, great college basketball games and I've never seen the electricity that I saw at that Wild Card game," Blass said. "It was like 20 years had been compressed into one night. It looked like the fans had all been practicing making noise in unison. It was a loud 40,000 person choir. It was an absolute delight, at that point, to put a cap on the season. Plus, we even got a little further."
The Pirates led two games to one in the Division Series against St. Louis until Michael Wacha and Adam Wainwright pitched brilliantly in consecutive games to end the Pirates' magical season.
"Getting a little taste of it just makes me work harder so that we can do it again and go even further," Hughes said.
Pirates centerfielder and National League Most Valuable Player Andrew McCutchen was also slated to attend the private event, which was titled "Adopt an Art Class," but his plane from Los Angeles was delayed on Wednesday afternoon.
McCutchen was out west taping an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

iTrader: (
I don't have the screenshot for it yet since PB is being lamesville, but it'll come eventually.
SO basically, my team: Swain, Lux, Brand, Amumu, Zilean. Me being Swain. I went mid, Lux and Mumu went bot, and Brand and Zil went top. Enemy team: Poppy, Yi, Brand, Miss Fortune, and Gangplank. So basically everyone but me feeds in early game. It was more of Brand and Lux feeding and because Zil and Mumu would try to back off the enemy team, they'd get killed as well. We're doing really really badly. All of our outermost turrets are down except mid. Then the GP leaves and it starts to turn around a little bit more. From there we successfully take out all of mid lane's turrets to their base and the outermost top and bot turrets. Then we're back down again. GP is still gone but Yi doing the other thing he does best when he isn't getting kills solo pushed all of our lanes down to our inhibis. Then they get careless and pretty much start farming us. From there we learned that Yi and Poppy were tryhards. They'd tower-dive us then go off to heal in the jungle. Then they destroyed our inhibis, which we countered by pushing down all of top including their inhibi there.
Some drama happens in-between and we magically take Baron because they didn't take it. From there we pushed the rest of top. And basically, we won largely because they got sloppy and decided to push our inhibis at the same time, but split up. Poppy on one, Yi on another, and Brand on another. This whole time MF is more or less just defending base. So basically I rush to top, destroy their inhibi again and essentially pushed to win. MF constantly tried to kill me, but of course as Swain... Torment + Laserboid + DFG + Ignite = dead almost anything.
Yi qq'd hardcore, saying that the GP made them lose to "the badds." I laughed really hard. Especially since their team owned in just about every team fight.
tl;dr: The baddies beat the tryhards because they thought they were too pro.
Note on Brand: Overall when he combos all together, I definitely feel he's waaaay too overpowered. I don't know much about how his ult works, but it's done 1k+ to me (allowing him to finish me with some other skill) with only about 3xx-450 AP. Pretty ridiculous. His passive is
, but I feel it could be a little different.

The two sides of inequality
Around 100 BC, a Roman nobleman calculated that it took about 100,000 sesterces a year to live comfortably. That was roughly 200 times the amount of money a poor city dweller needed to eke out a living. If an American needed the same multiple of the subsistence income to join the upper middle class today, the threshold would be $3.5 million. The United States economy has become less equal lately, but it remains much more egalitarian than the ancient Roman Republic.
Occupy Wall Street and the shallowness of discontent
By Edward Hadas
The views expressed are his own.
Occupy Wall Street can claim a tremendous heritage. In almost every generation – from the French Revolution of 1789 to the student revolts of the 1960s – popular movements have rejected a society which, they say, denies some sort of basic freedom. But for a protest to leave a lasting impression, it has to start or mark a significant cultural change. What could OWS signify?

Last season there were a number of Canucks that had career years but none escalated the climb like Henrik Sedin, minus Brother Daniel for 19 games.
The big question must centre on Henrik and whether he can equal or surpass his total from last year or was this a one off?
Besides Henrik there were a number of other players that had big jumps in their point totals also, so you wonder if they can continue if they remain relatively healthy?
One should not forget that the Canucks seem to always end up near the top in man games lost to injuries!
But this is about being optimistic and looking at who can repeat, increase or maybe is in for a step back.

Providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy, their
show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both
sides of the political spectrum laughing.
Please note The Philadelphia Orchestra does not perform on this program.
Conductor Fabio Luisi made his vibrant Philadelphia Orchestra debut in 2011. He returns with a rousing program of Russian favorites. Glinka's dashing Overture to Ruslan and Lyudmila is our curtain-raiser, setting the stage for the brilliant Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto with good friend Christian Tetzlaff doing the honors as soloist. The program ends in grand style with Tchaikovsky's last symphony, the popular Sixth. It premiered in St. Petersburg in 1893, just nine days before the composer's unexplained death.
Yannick sets the tone for his three-week Vienna Festival with native-born Johann Strauss Jr.'s famous "Tales from the Vienna Woods." There's no more idyllic picture of the city than this, an elegant Viennese waltz.
In this case, Vienna is a movable feast! Though closely associated with the Austrian capital, Haydn wrote his "Drum Roll" Symphony during one of his famous visits to London. The piece begins with a dramatic timpani roll; its final movement kicks off with a horn call. The sound of the hunt echoes in Bruckner's popular Fourth Symphony ("Romantic"), which premiered in Vienna in 1881 and was the only one of his nine symphonies the composer nicknamed. "Pastoral" might also be an apt description as the mountain scenes and peasant surroundings of the composer's Austrian countryside come to life.
We end our sojourn in Vienna with three more legendary works, exemplifying the rich heritage of this unparalleled musical capital. Webern's Im Sommerwind (In the Summer Wind), a richly orchestrated tone poem in the late-Romantic style, is a glorious evocation of a summer's day. The Philadelphia Orchestra gave the world premiere in 1962 at a three-day Webern Festival in Seattle with Ormandy conducting. Schumann also spent time composing in Vienna. The incredible Leif Ove Andsnes brings out all the wonder of the Piano Concerto, Schumann's only one, which was years in the making.
Samuel Barber was just 21 when he wrote the lush, vibrant Overture to The School for Scandal. It was premiered by The Philadelphia Orchestra in 1933, a year before the composer graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music. Barber could be considered the American Brahms and we've put these two masters together so you can decide for yourself. Brahms's splendid Violin Concerto is the perfect showpiece for our soloist, Augustin Hadelich (who debuted with the Orchestra in 2013 to rapturous acclaim). Brahms was also a great champion of Antonin Dvorák.
Any time we have Yefim Bronfman playing Beethoven with Vladimir Jurowski is a special occasion! With eloquent support from Jurowski and the Orchestra, Bronfman brings his magisterial keyboard skills to Beethoven's towering "Emperor" Concerto, revealing all the wonders of this masterwork. In the second half of the program, Jurowski turns to Nikolai Miaskovsky, a prolific composer whose Tenth Symphony is based on a fantastic Pushkin poem.
Bach's Third Orchestral Suite contains one of the most often-played pieces of music (the second movement "Air on the G String") but the rest of the Suite is beautiful, quintessential J.S. Bach as well. Early music specialist Ton Koopman conducts and solos at the keyboard, joined by his wife, Tini Mathot, in C.P.E. Bach's Concerto for Two Harpsichords in F major. The spotlight shines on Principal Flute Jeffrey Khaner, playing Mozart's cheerful and majestic Flute Concerto No. 1.
An ocean voyage, a thundering storm, two young lovers, all presided over by a powerful wizard! As he did so memorably with Romeo and Juliet, Tchaikovsky once again turns to Shakespeare for inspiration, delivering a brilliant evocation of the magical doings in The Tempest. We fast-forward into the 20th century with Tchaikovsky's fellow Russian, Prokofiev, and his spirited Second Violin Concerto, echoing with everything from Russian folk tunes to Spanish castanets, performed by the sensational Akiko Suwanai.
Glimpse the future of the Philadelphia Sound as Yannick and the Orchestra continue their proud tradition of commissioning new works for its principal players. These concerts feature world-premiere showpieces for two more of our outstanding principals: Ricardo Morales performing a new Clarinet Concerto by Jonathan Leshnoff ("I'm mesmerized by his melodic style," says Morales), and Principal Timpani Don Liuzzi with, yes, a timpani concerto (from Temple University's Maurice Wright).
Just as Stravinsky's Rite of Spring pays homage to past Russian folk traditions, Prokofiev's neo-Classical Symphony No. 1 draws its whimsy and virtuosity from the past world of Haydn. This thrilling, highly virtuosic work precedes Ginastera's Variaciones concertantes
Please note LiveNote will be enabled for the performances on 4/22 and 4/23. For more information, click here.
Principal Guest Conductor Stéphane Denève leads his second subscription series of the season with a terrific program of life-affirming music and a continuation of a tribute to John Williams. Ravel's Pavane for a Dead Princess turns to a stately dance form (the "pavane," popular during the Renaissance) as the basis for this shimmering Impressionist work evoking longing and nostalgia, filled with gorgeous melodies.

Wednesday 16th October 6.00pm (NZDT). Live from the University of Canterbury, Lecture 8 in the 10x10 series - The Power of Nature. While trying to understand complex systems such as ecosystems, landforms, social networks or seismic activity, scientists have to deal with uncertainty and chaos. However, one recurrent pattern appears to be ubiquitous: the power law. This is where a relative change in one quantity gives a proportional relative change in another. For example, the frequency of earthquakes varies with their intensity, so there are a large numbers of smaller quakes but, fortunately, only a few 'big ones'. While there are many fundamentally different mechanisms in complex systems such as self-organisation, feedback loops or chaotic dynamic systems that can give such behaviour, it is still a mystery why nature would choose to follow this pattern. In this talk, Dr Baeumer will present many examples and some conjectures and results that use the power law pattern to build better models.

Recent examples of corporate users being rapped on the knuckles include global eyecare company Bausch & Lomb and Clackmannanshire Council in Scotland, both of which agreed to pay undisclosed sums to the Business Software Alliance (BSA).
As vendors get tough with organisations using unlicensed applications, software regulators have identified how legislation could lead to a greater role for resellers prepared to help maintain software licences.
Richard Willmott, general manager for the Federation Against Software Theft (FAST), said as vendors started to track down illegitimate users of software, dealers should form tight relationships with their customers.
"There is a lot of opportunity for resellers. They should be providing legal advice and offering licensing support. Businesses should not be scared off by a slight price increase if they avoid the legal hassles," he argued.
Mike Newton, UK programme manager for BSA, said corporates had to face up to the challenge of cleaning up their software: "We can't stress enough how important it is for companies to audit their PCs and tally up the software in use against the licences or licensing agreements they have."
Things are destined to become even tougher for licence dodgers when The Miller Act comes into effect later this year, placing the responsibility of unlicensed software on company directors, not their IT managers. Anyone found guilty of disobeying the Act could face a ten-year prison sentence.
On another front, more regulations forming part of the Waste of Electronic and Electrical Equipment (WEEE) legislation will be introduced into England by 2004.

The 54th running of the Daytona 500 is just weeks away. While we have had some notable drivers take the checkered flag, there are also many of the top drivers in the sports history that just couldn't win the big race.
It is truly amazing that this list of drivers have 11 championships between them, yet not one Daytona 500 win.
Dale Earnhardt won seven Cup championships before he finally took the checkered flag in the 1998 Daytona 500 in one of the most memorable races in NASCAR history.
Some drivers on the list are still active and still have a chance to hoist the iconic trophy, but some drivers do not have that luxury. Now we will take a look at the top 10 drivers that have not won the "Great American Race".

Bananas Stay Fresh Longer
By MB
from Texas
The Banana Keeper works great and seems to keep our bananas fresher longer. I now buy a few more bananas at a time since they don't get soft quickly.

I have another one I've used for years and decided to get a new one. This bag is no better than storing it in a plastic bag. I'm very disappointed in the quality.

I am sorry I bought this product
By Mrs. B
from Kansas
I specifically bought bananas to try this product - It did not keep the bananas fresh even two day, much less two weeks. I waited a long time to get this product and now am so sorry I purchased it.
As good as advertised
By Joe Banana Boy
from Beaumont, Texas
I eat a banana with my cereal every morning and have for over 30 years. Historicall I buy five at as time and rarely have I been able to use the 4th or 5th one due to quality drop in terms of becomimg soft and dark inside. This product has worked better than I could have ever imagined. Still buy five at time and the 5th one still has good color outside and firm and fresh inside. Have already recommended to friends.

Banana Storage Bag Works
By Nell
from Panama City, FL
We always had to throw over-ripe bananas away. Since purchasing the banana storage bag four months ago, we have not thrown the first banana away. We do have to remember to take a couple out of the bag two days before and set them out so they will ripen to eat. We are very pleased with this product.

LATEST NEWS-The 4.8 miles section from South Windham to Westbrook is now open for pedestrian use while the railbed remains inactive. The first 1.5 miles from South Windham is a flat, easy walking path on an undeveloped railbed. The remaining 3.5 miles,to Bridge Street in Westbrook, is on railroad tracks. Please be aware its rugged conditions.
Fall 2015, the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust, along with members of the Sebago to the Sea Trail Coalition, installed signs, made improvements to the bridge over Mallison Falls and updated maps.
Since 2007, members of the Sebago to the Sea Trail Coalition have been working hard to create one contiguous trail from Sebago Lake to Casco Bay.
The Sebago to the Sea Trail project was first developed in mid-2007 with a projected timeline for completion of about 3-5 years. The success of PHASE ONE exceeded expectations.PHASE ONE goals included the successful mapping of the area including identifying existing, pending and needed trails for connectivity; establishment of a Coalition through regular meetings and partnerships, and engagement of Advisors to the project; the production of marketing materials to conduct public outreach; and fundraising for the project.
In PHASE TWO of the project, we strengthened our Coalition's efforts and established working Regional Committees; agreed by consensus on the logo and tagline; established detailed maps of each town including trails in existence and those in the vision corridor; conducted site walks and developed trail plans for connectivity; developed outreach materials including a vision map and project summary; and began work with landowners; and acquired further funding for PHASE 3 of the project. In the fall, we facilitated public meetings in each region, gathering public input and comment on the vision corridor.
PHASE THREE included continued collaboration of the Coalition and regional committees through regular meetings; an increase in members of regional committees to strengthen regional work and public support; the continued work with corridor landowners to create trail linkage; the development and implementation of signs for the trail system; the development and public outreach of trail maps for trail sections; trail work where needed; further fundraising for PHASES 4-5; further public outreach to garner public support; and and the designation of the first segment- 8.5 miles from Sebago Lake in Standish to South Windham!
PHASE FOUR included completing the trail from Route 202 in South Windham to the Maine Turnpike in Falmouth. On October 29th, 2011, the Sebago to the Sea Trail Coalition celebrated this designated section—13 miles from South Windham to Falmouth.
While the Mountain Division corridor from Route 202 in South Windham to Bridge Street in Westbrook underwent rail construction, this segment has followed the Presumpscot River via a 5 mile Sebago to the Sea Trail Paddling Route as an alternative option to get to downtown Westbrook.
In Spring 2015, the Presumpscot Regional Land Trust and members of the Sebago to the Sea Trail Coalition, with permission from MDOT, will open this segment for pedestrians to follow the inactive rail bed. Check back here for trail opening and updates!
In the future, the Sebago to the Sea Trail hopes to follow a paved multi-use trail that follows beside the rail in this corridor, but fundraising is still underway to construct that trail.
From downtown Westbrook, follow the Sebago to the Sea Trail Downtown Westbrook Connector Loop featuring the Westbrook River Walk. Thanks to Portland Trails, the City of Westbrook and the City of Portland's trail network, the remaining 8 mile trail segment follows both an on and off-road trail along the Presumpscot River, through Riverton Trolley Park, past the Riverside Recycling Facility and Riverside Golf Course, and on to the Maine Turnpike in Falmouth.
PHASE FIVE- Trail designation of the final section of the Sebago to the Sea Trail from the Maine Turnpike pedestrian underpass in Falmouth to Portland's East End Beach took place in October 2012. Celebrate Our Collaborative Success By Getting Out On The Trail!
