Skip to comments.Does Elena Kagen have a $20 million commitment to destroying the American Republic?
Posted on 05/01/2012 4:52:27 PM PDT by IbJensen
What would you say if you learned that a member of the highest court in the land has spent the last 30 years openly advocating for the destruction of the US Constitution and even went so far as to accept $20 million from Shariah Law proponents to accomplish her goal?
That Supreme Court Justice is Elena Kagan.
The year after Ronald Reagan entered the Oval Office with the goal of restoring America to greatness; Elena Kagan penned a telling and disturbing senior thesis titled "To the Final Conflict: Socialism in New York City, 1900-1933." In that body of work, Kagan lamented that "a coherent socialist movement is nowhere to be found in the United States"; and that," no "radical party" had yet "attained the status of a major political force." Kagan went on to sound a rally cry for "those who, more than half a century after socialism's decline, still wish to change America."
Apparently, this was no mere college dalliance, as the Elena Kagan has spent the rest of her career working to remove the underpinnings of freedom and destroy the American Constitution from within. And Kagan's grand plan has worked very well indeed.
After graduate school Kagan went on to become Dean of Harvard Law, where she removed Constitutional Law classes from the curriculum, and replaced those necessary and time honored classes with required studies of international law. And in what appears to be a game of using a mutual enemy's resources to accomplish ones' true objective, Kagan also accepted a $20 million grant from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal - a noted Shariah Law proponent - to implement an "Islamic Studies" program.
(Excerpt) Read more at answers.yahoo.com ...
The fact that Obama appointed her shows exactly what kind of traitor he is.
"...accepted a $20 million grant from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal - a noted Shariah Law proponent - to implement an "Islamic Studies" program."
Holy Shiite, a traitor to American law and justice has her skinny butt on our Supreme Court. When will GOP Senators ever stop these bad choices by Democrat presidents to protect our America?
Wow, we ought to vote her out! Oh crud, we can't. Well when her term is up, that's it! Oh no, forgot they are there for life. Well, at least the Supreme Court can easily be overriden by congress. Oh shoot, that's impossible.
Checks and balances? Weren't we supposed to have them somehow?
Impeach the traitor!!
It was well known that Kagan removed the basic common law classes that all freshmen had been required to take, and replaced them with courses in international law and "positive law"—i.e., the law is whatever the rulers say it is.
I mentioned that frequently at the time she was up for confirmation in the Senate. Needless to say, the Republicans folded immediately, as they also did with the Wise Latina.
The Republicans have done little or NOTHING to block activist judges from our courts. In fact, Earl Warren, possibly the worst appointment ever, was a Republican appointee—as was that gay activist from New Hampshire.
Bush deserves credit for his three appointees, but they are the exceptions rather than the rule.
It's past time to cleanse the government at all levels of those that have committed TREASON and render the maximum punishment!
Was her thesis available to the Judicial committee at her hearing?
If not the justification for her impeachment continues to grow.
Could she, Elena Kagan(ovich) be related to the Stalin's butcher of Ukraine - Lazar Kaganovich????
Section. 4.
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Claim: Elena Kagan socialist roots and Saudi ties?
Supreme Court JusticeElena Kaganis Pro Sharia Law!
Kagan file
That is why his elegibility is so important. If he was never elegible, he was never president. All of his appointments would be voided as would all of the bills he has signed. Proving him a fraud is the surest way to undo the damage he has done.
These are the Republicans who voted for Elena Kagan, who was confirmed by the Senate by a vote of 63-37:
Richard Lugar
Lindsey Graham
Judd Gregg
Susan Collins
Olympia Snowe
That makes 5 Senate Republicans more liberal than Democrat Ben Nelson who voted NAY.
If they had voted conservative, she would have been filibustered off the bench.
Excellent! And once it goes before the SCOTUS and they say "nope, our appointments were legal"?
We the people need to rise up and impeach, recall, vote out, drive out or otherwise remove all usurpers, traitors and corrupt office holders from every level of government all across this great land. That was the purpose of the tea party before it was co-opted by the GOP!! I say to hell with the GOP!! The tea party must stand true to principle and drive these corrupt treasonous bastards OUT!!
>The fact that Obama appointed her shows exactly what kind of traitor he is.<
And where were the RATs and GOP to stop him?
The House and Senate are just as treacherous.
It's probably too late now but we MUST have term limits!
Damn their eyes!! Traitors all!!
...the hour draws nigh....
"What would you say if you learned that a member of the highest court in the land has spent the last 30 years openly advocating for the destruction of the US Constitution and even went so far as to accept $20 million from Shariah Law proponents to accomplish her goal? "
I would say I am not surprised at all.Par for the Obma course.
I once said that even the worst Republican was better than the best Democrat!! Man have I ever seen the light. How wrong I was. And today we have FReepers saying that about the current batch of RINOs and leftists in the GOP who are up for election. It's no longer even a slow death. It's becoming a sure death!! Drive the corrupt leftist bastards out of off and out of the GOP!!
All the more reason for conservatives to pump resources into ousting Lugar rather than waste anything on Romney.
Olympia Snowe is retiring and her seat is open this year. Will a conservative white knight emerge to fill her seat? From Maine?
Judd Gregg already retired and was replaced by Kelly Ayotte. One can only hope she is sterner stock. Her early endorsement of Romney was not a good sign.
Susan Collins and Lindsey Graham are up in 2014. A good time for the Tea Party to show some mid-term muscle, if they aren't too demoralized by a potential Romney presidency.
I once said all of the Democrats and half the Republicans have to go. I may have misunderestimated.
Collins is retiring. Lugar may get beaten in the Indiana primary— replacements are rarely an improvement.
Yes, it is time. or CWII time. We have a traitor to the nation on the SC. When will enough be "enough"?
Socialism, communism, Marxism, liberal Progressivism.. It all hides behind the impervious shield of the protected classes (gay, minority, female, etc). When you need the dirty deed of destroying America done, just elect a black man who appoints lesbians, Hispanics and blacks that cannot be criticized or impeached!
Snowe is the one who is retiring.
Collins is up for re-election in 2014.
No. She doesn't. Now I am going to go outside and gnaw a post.
She can be impeached, which will become a possibility next year, IF proven to be true.
Frightening if true
No, I think you're thinking of Snowe who's retiring. Collins has a couple more years to make that decision.
Toomey replaced Specter in PA, so that was at least one improvement.
Ginsburg was confirmed 96-3, so I guess we have to give our guys some credit for growing some bigger cajones since then. Sotomayor got just a couple more Republican votes than Kagan, but at least she wasn't as blatantly and obviously unqualified for the job.
The [decline of Socialism] story is a sad but also a chastening one for those who, more than half a century after socialisms decline, still wish to change America. Elana Kagen.
Thanks IbJensen. Bookmark.
Another term and he is likely to pack the court with two more Communists.
Please excuse me while I go pray and pray I never
have to prey.
"What would you say if you learned that a member of the highest court in the land has spent the last 30 years openly advocating for the destruction of the US?"
Is that supposed to be unusual?
The more interesting question is how many US marshals will be willing to die on a hilltop for Kagan? My immediate guess is zero. When the bullets start flying, US marshals will ignite rocket boosters in their butts to propel them 20 miles away from the action in under 20 seconds.
Tommy Lee Jones makes fantasy movies...
(Just having fun with you, FRiend.)
This is the freeper in question:
How prophetic that she would use the word "CHANGE".. Where have I heard that word before? She's speaking the TRUE meaning of the word 'Change' which Obama uses.. Changing our FORM of government, NOT the 'business as usual' syndrome in D.C. as all the mindless sheep voters in 2008 believed.
The culture of impunity stops at corruptions edge. Both sides can equally blackmail the other.
I don't know, but Sonya Sotomayor makes her look almost human.
Indonesian Go Home!
Lugar is getting his pink slip next week.
I hope.
"..Finally, I would like to thank my brother Marc, whose involvement in radical causes led me to explore the history of American radicalism in the hope of clarifying my own political ideas."

The Hawaii Office of Consumer Protection Monday joined 45 other states and the District of Columbia in announcing a $100 million settlement with Abbott Laboratories over allegations of illegal off-label marketing of its Depakote drug.
"The agreement marks the largest consumer protection-based pharmaceutical settlement ever reached," said Hawaii Office of Consumer Protection Executive Director Bruce Kim. "As a result of the states' investigation and this settlement, Hawaii will receive nearly $1.2 million and Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories will be restricted from marketing the drug for off-label uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration."
In complaints filed Monday, the states alleged that Abbott engaged in unfair and deceptive practices when it marketed Depakote for off-label uses.
Depakote is approved for treatment of seizure disorders, mania associated with bipolar disorder and prophylaxis of migraines, but the Hawaii lawsuit also alleged that Abbott marketed the drug for treating unapproved uses, including schizophrenia, agitated dementia and autism.
Abbott has agreed to significantly change how it markets Depakote and to cease promoting off-label uses.
The company also will pay $100 million nationally. As part of this settlement, Hawaii will receive nearly $1.2 million in settlement funds from the company for consumer education and consumer protection enforcement actions.
Under the settlement, Abbott Laboratories is:
- Prohibited from making false or misleading claims about Depakote.
- Prohibited from promoting Depakote for off-label uses.
- Required to ensure financial incentives on sales do not promote off-label uses of Depakote.
In addition, for a 5-year period Abbott must:
- Limit the creation and use of responses to requests by physicians for non-promotional information about off-label uses of Depakote.
- Limit dissemination of reprints of clinical studies relating to off-label uses of Depakote.
- Limit use of grants and continuing medical education.
- Disclose payments to physicians.
- Register and disclose clinical trials.
The following states and the District of Columbia participated in today's settlement: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawai'i, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Ninemen's Morris: A 'Nap'-Man rises to defend his Chief! Joy in Lajoie, and all-aboard Taft's Raft!
sir, have undone your intellectual suspenders and dropped your common
sense trow to reveal a posterior so pock-marked with mind-munge, it
almost goes so far as to not even warrant a rebuttal, but rather a
pity-whistle played on Lazarus' last gummed-up flute!!!
How dare you, sir, speak so ill of the President? And
how dare you, sir, compound your heresy with a trumpeting of some
apparent virtue found in the Christ-abandoned dung-ball indulged by one
Ty Cobb?
First — to speak to your treason 'gainst this fair nation, this journalist
need only offer his own recently penned exercise in pith:
"Clean plate, cleaner conscience! Surplus of pounds, Surplus of President!"
You harangue our dear leader because of his weight, calling him similarly soft on foreign policy. While
there is no denying that the aforementioned Taft's Raft better be
well-built, such ballyhoo and whatnot attacking the man's actions in
relation to lands beyond the hallowed borders of this nation resolve to
cockamamie in the ears of the simplest of troglodytes! Here is one very simple counterexample to your nonsense:
The man bought the Philippines.
those dear readers who aren't familiar with this delightful land, the
Philippines are a mystical chain of islands situated abroad, in the
giving waters of the South Pacific Sea. These islands are known for their cash crops and their sanctimony. Holiness runs rampant, as evidenced by their previous owners, the Roman Catholic Church. I have heard nothing but pleasurable reviews of a local vegetable, the "bananalla," which I have yet to enjoy for myself.
negotiated the purchase of this land from Pope Leo XIII (please hush
the nonagenarian barbs… obviously old age contributed to his lopsided
dealings), and served as governor of the land for a year by three. How
serves you that for foreign policy!!! This new acquisition serves to
establish our nation as a stern presence in Asia's left underarm,
virtually guaranteeing that no surprise threat is ever imposed upon us
by any nearby nation (a bite of the thumb to you, Japan!).
(It should be noted that the bananalla is a fattening food. Perhaps that explains our captain's rounded countenance?)
Point being made, on to our beloved game…
Has the liquor done its wilting?
You speak poison with forked tongue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cobb as any sort of exemplary model for any sort of proverbial
'job-well-done' speaks to not only a general misunderstanding of
competence, but also a general disregard for the plight of man!!!
Cobb is a beast. A walking ape who lost his fur, a salamander grown too big for his swamp. He
struts about puffing his chest, intimidating all those who crossed his
crooked path with the threat of a spike or, worse yet, a studded
knuckle to temple. But ultimately… what is the threat? The Tigers have failed to capitalize on his gaudy numbers, and in the end… what are we really playing for here? To trumpet Cobb is to trumpet ungracious loss.
The 'Georgia Peach' say you? I
prefer to call him the 'Georgia Thief,' for the taking of unwarranted
bases is, in this journalist's opinion, ball-play that isn't becoming
of even the most common of gentlemen.
And so, dear reader, let me turn your attention elsewhere. Perhaps to an old standby? Perhaps to a man who plays the shared agreement between two opposing groups of like-minds with a modicum of class?
Napoleon 'Nap' Lajoie.
Mack's pride has displayed numbers that make dear Cobb's corn hop back
onto the stalk, and his demeanor has been that of a dandy sans
foppishness. His swing reminds me of my first-born's
first words — a pleasure to watch and even better to hear, and his play
about the infield is the equivalent of your Cobb. Throw
in a lollipop for the gilded statesman's son down in box two, and we
have ourselves the wood-wielder of, by and for the people.
Dare I suggest that a gamesman's rivalry is afoot?
The ball is in your general vicinity, ne'er-do-well.
PS. Wagner? We are in agreement. The man is weak about the knees, and he looks about with the shiftiest of eyes.

'Nap' Lajoie was a great player for the Indians:
too bad I wasn't able to see him play in his time.
I miss the old Indians:
the team that hit the most homers in the league:
the powerhouse lineup with Thome; Ramirez; Lofton.
Oh those were the days Jeff.
I bet you can remember when the Cards were amazingly unbeatable.
If only that could be today….
Happy September!!
Ted, if you look at this year's Cardinal team (especially their post-All Star Game record, I'd say they're darn near unbeatable. As for the Indians… not so much. Weren't they called the Cleveland Naps back then too?
t'was all a bit before my time, but great reading, I enjoyed all three of those posts on this… had a few to catch up on…
"darn near unbeatable" is right, that still translates into a losing team in the end….hahaha Let's play September Ball…and the fun begins for those fighting for a spot…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Ah, Peter, don't ya mean "phighting" for a spot? Hehe. Never gets old… neither does good ole Ninemen's Morris.
Great stuff! I love these posts. The writing is so much fun to read and I learn new words every time! Plus, now I'm dying to use "foppishness."
Jane, glad ya dig it. When describing Allen, 'foppishness' can be used in myriad ways😉

Canada Makes History, Downs U.S. U19 Men in OT
by Corey McLaughlin | LaxMagazine.com | Twitter | Live Blog Replay
TURKU, Finland – Chad Tutton stood in his all red warmup suit and prepared to answer a few questions. "My heart is still pounding," he said.
It was about 25 minutes after Canada downed the U.S. under-19 men's national team 11-9 in overtime in a back-and-forth, thrilling and history-making pool play game Saturday night at the Federation of International Lacrosse U19 World Championships in Finland.
In front of a packed house in Finland, Canada became the
first team to beat the U.S. under-19 men's national team since U19
international competition was sanctioned in 1988.
Tutton, a rising sophomore midfielder for North Carolina, tallied what held up as the game-winner with 2:01 left in the second of two mandatory four-minute overtime periods, per international rules. But that was just the cap on a game that's direction twisted and turned on every faceoff and left an overflow crowd of an estimated 1,200 spectators buzzing.
First, the history: Canada became the first team to defeat the U.S. in U19 play since international competition was sanctioned in 1988. The U.S., winners of all six gold medals contested since then, is now 37-1 all-time.
"It's great to move past that milestone," Canadian head coach Taylor Wray said, "but we felt we were going to be competitive heading into this thing."
But how they did it: The Canadians scored the final three goals of the game, all in the second OT, after the U.S. rallied from three goals down at the start of the fourth quarter and went ahead by one in the first OT. All while the crowd oohed and ahhed and pressure mounted. At one point, dueling "U-S-A!" and "Ca-na-da!" chants broke out from the stands at a packed Yläkenttä Stadium.
"It's indescribable," Tutton said. "The team played awesome. There's definitely some nerves there, but the coaches made sure we kept our composure and stayed calm."
Down 7-4 at the start of the fourth, the U.S. tied the game on consecutive goals by Sean Mahon, Matt Kavanagh and Danny Eipp, the last of which game on a 6-on-4 chance with 9:28 left in regulation. Tutton put Canada back ahead 8-7 with 5:20 to go before Ryan Tucker tied the game again at 8 on a 12-yard overhand shot from the right alley with 38 seconds remaining in the fourth. On the play, coming out of a timeout, Tucker got free off a Kavanagh pick.
Steve Pontrello scored from Kavanagh on a man-up play with 1:21 left in the first extra-period to put the U.S. up 9-8. Charlie Raffa won the opening faceoff of the second OT, but the U.S. was called for offsides shortly thereafter and Canada regained possession. Wes Berg drove left to right along goal-line extended and finished on the crease with 2:23 remaining in the second extra-period to tie it at 9. Berg drew a penalty at the tail end of the scoring play, and Tutton put Canada up 10-9 just 22 seconds later.
Canada's Zach Currier won the ensuing faceoff on procedure, and Reilly O'Connor tacked on another goal with 1:02 left. Currier won another draw and the Canadians were able to run out the clock.
Canada improves to 2-0 in pool play with a quick turnaround for a 1 p.m. (6 a.m. EST) game Sunday against the Iroquois (1-0). The U.S. (1-1) faces England at 7 p.m. (noon EST) on Sunday, and now faces a scenario of playing the Iroquois in the tournament semifinals if expectations hold.
"I'm really proud of our guys for coming back the way they did," USA coach Tim Flynn said. "They pulled together as a team. ... I think we showed our heart, and we learned some things. We'll play again another day."
The faceoff battle went back-and-forth. Canada won five straight draws in the second quarter, had the ground ball edge and played with a deliberate pace, drawing several stall warnings, to lead 6-3 at halftime. But the U.S. won 7 of 9 second-half faceoffs as it rallied to tie. Raffa won six straight to end the second half, but Currier won 4 of 5 in overtime. When the U.S. struggled controlling possession, it wasn't because it didn't win the faceoff initially, but failed to scoop the ground ball to maintain control.
"Our guys did a nice job of tying them up and scrapping for ground balls," Wray said. "For us, face off is a ground ball between two competitors. We're going to get in there and we're going to scrap and fight and hopefully win the majority of the possessions."
Both teams had several man-up chances with Canada taking nine penalties and the U.S. drawing four. The key offsides call against the U.S., which came on a late substation early in the second overtime, proved crucial, as it stunted the momentum built in the fourth quarter and the first OT period.

With history now made, players on both sides talked like they expected to see each other again in next Saturday's championship game, should all go according to plan.
"We're all on a bit of a high right now," Tutton said. "But we're trying to keep our composure. It's just a small step to our final goal here. We haven't won nothing yet."
Tucker, for one, said he wants to play Canada again "more than you will ever know. I hope we see them for the championship game."
For now, they'll have a classic game to rest upon for at least one night.
"The atmosphere was crazy; packed crowd. It's exactly what you think about when you're playing Canada and trying to make this team," U.S. defenseman and co-captain Stephen Jahelka said. "We're going to figure out tonight what we did wrong that we could have done better and also think about what we did do well. It's definitely not the last time we're going to see them."

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

same hehe
If I recall Sasori was quite short tempered as well when he first appeared with Deidara in the hidden sand village. You remember how he was always saying how he hated to be kept waiting and he always lashed out at Deidara, of course his whole personality changed once he was out of that armored puppet shell and showed his true form.
I still gotta go with Deidara, being able to get a ride from his flying clay birds and having his long range attacks make him a very versitile partner.
Anyone but Sasori. The danger of working with the others would be exciting.
hidan and i would be bff hahaha he is pretty sweet
Deidara, because I would be Sasori.
Deidara deff

Sasori lame? I got to say something. Sasori would Fkup anyone. Just keep him waiting. I'll wait cuase I'm boss. cough- Deidara stink. Xd.
I love how itachi or kisame are not part of the choice -.-
Damn, no Itachi. Anyways I'll go with Sasori, the other three would annoy me to death.
i Choosed kakazu or dedira
sasori because he wouldnt kill me for no reason

hehe, i see
To be honest I could go with Kakuzu or Sasori.....Sasori seems like the least likely way to die for no reason, and I am an agreeable person like Kisame so I probably wouldn't get on Kakuzu's nerves
If I could SURVIVE Kakuzu, I'd go for him. That's not a given though.
Otherwise, Sasori first, Deidara second. Competence over reckless idiocy, but at least Deidara is a USEFUL reckless idiot, unlike Hidan...

"A War to End All Misbegotten Wars"
Op-Ed, The Huffington Post
December 21, 2011
Author: Charles G. Cogan, Associate, International Security Program
Belfer Center Programs or Projects: International Security
Eight and a half years after a U.S. president caricatured the office by appearing on an aircraft carrier in a flight suit get-up to announce "Mission Accomplished," the Iraq War has finally ended for American troops. A war begun under a number of flawed pretexts from non-existent weapons of mass destruction to "he tried to kill mah Daddy" has now ended, with 4,487 American soldiers dead and 32,226 wounded, not to speak of Allied casualties and the more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians who died.
President Obama, during a press conference at the White House with Iraqi President Nouri al-Maliki on December 12 to mark the end of America's military involvement, stated that, "History will judge the original decision to go into Iraq." This is a tough message to send to the thousands of American troops returning from Iraq. Left with this implicit message of a flawed conflict, the American military can only draw on their own heroism and devotion to country to find a meaning to what took place during these nearly nine years in Iraq.
Hopefully, the Iraq experience will put an end to the succession of misbegotten wars of the U.S., the most recent one before that being the manifestly more tragic Vietnam War (19631975), with 58,000 American soldiers killed, a war that was claimed to be an anti-Communist struggle rather than what it was: the extension of an anti-colonial war.
There remains Afghanistan, which was not another unprovoked war but became a prolonged one after the enemy, al-Qaeda, retreated into Pakistan at the end of 2001. Seven years later, the two surges authorized by President Obama 30,000 troops at the beginning of 2009 and 30,000 more at the end of that year raises again the painful question before history: was it worth it?

Summer film project 'Realizism' gets under way
Posted on July 26, 2012
A home foreclosure drives a sheltered suburban family into the thick of the urban jungle in the film "Realizism," currently filming in Grand Rapids. The 30-minute film is being produced by students at Grand Valley State University, working with industry professionals, as the School of Communications' 18th annual Summer Film Project. Past years' films have been selected for screening at film festivals throughout the country and have won many awards.
Director Mitch Nyberg, a 1983 Grand Valley alumnus, is working with cinematographer Darius Mathis and a crew of nearly 30 students to complete filming in two weeks, wrapping up August 2. Post production will be done during the fall and a premiere screening is planned for spring.
The film, written by Nyberg, features Grand Rapids actor Joe Anderson and Saugatuck actress Melissa Anschutz in the lead roles of Jake and Cheryl. They play a married couple who must deal with downward social mobility after foreclosure ousted them from their cushy home in the suburbs and into the gritty reality of the urban jungle and a vast real estate conspiracy.
"I'm really proud of the crew – they are working hard as a team and solving problems on the fly," said Nyberg, a native of Coopersville whose career includes work as a tour camera operator for Eric Clapton, 'NSync, the Dixie Chicks and the Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. The Michigan Film Incentives encouraged him to return to Michigan in 2008. The Hart Township resident has worked on several films shot in Grand Rapids, including as production manager for "The Steam Experiment," staring Val Kilmer, and as location manager for "Touchback," the 2011 film starring Kurt Russell and Barry Sanders, which included football scenes filmed at Coopersville High School. Nyberg also worked on the 1995 Grand Valley Summer Film Project "Factory."
Mathis, a Detroit native who grew up in Southfield, came to West Michigan to attend Grand Valley, graduated from the Film and Video Production program in 1994 and has stayed in the area since, working as assistant cameraman on the 2011 film "Setup" starring Bruce Willis, and as a camera operator in the 2012 action/drama, "7 Stones." Mathis was the cinematographer for the award-winning documentary "Up From the Bottoms: The Search for the American Dream."
"The Summer Film Project started after I graduated from Grand Valley," said Mathis. "I'm amazed at the caliber of talent and hard work each and every student puts into this production. It is a testament to the program."

Spellings Calls High School Reform a "National Priority"
Leading High-Achieving Schools
Close-Up: No Child Left Behind2006 Education Budget Proposal
New Guide! Creating Innovative Pathways to School Leadership
Spellings Calls High School Reform a "National Priority"
At the National Governors Association's High School Summit on Feb. 27, U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings called improving the quality of high school education in America "a national priority," and promoted President Bush's High School Initiative to raise achievement levels.
"Getting every child to graduate high schoolwith a meaningful diploma in handis one of the biggest challenges our country faces," said Spellings at the meeting in Washington. "... Only 68 out of 100 entering ninth-graders will graduate from high school on schedule. Fewer than 20 will graduate from college on time. Meanwhile, 80 percent of the fastest-growing jobs will require some postsecondary education."
The secretary said the president's 2006 budget request includes a comprehensive proposal for improving the quality of secondary education that builds on the standards and accountability provisions of No Child Left Behind. She said the law has already proven successful at the lower grades, as evidenced by rising student test scores.
President Bush's plan includes funding for: developing tests in two additional high school grades in reading/language arts and mathematics; implementing intervention efforts, such as dropout prevention, vocational and technical courses and college awareness programs; and expanding Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs to reach more low-income and minority students.

Leading High-Achieving Schools
By Sharon Brittingham, Frankford, Del.
Most educators say that all students can learn, but not everyone believes it. I am repeatedly asked how Frankford Elementary is able to achieve such high standards with a population that is highly diverse and highly disadvantaged. (We have an equal amount of Hispanic, African-American and white students, and 79 percent qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.) With this populationnearly one-quarter of whom receive special educationwe have achieved big things. And we were honored last year as both a No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School and a National Distinguished Title I School.
However, there is nothing miraculous about our success. Frankford Elementary is a professional learning community that implements the principles of high-achieving schools. High-achieving schools share the same vision, mission, values and goals. My job as principalas an instructional leaderis to ensure that all staff members work toward the shared belief that all students can learn. It is everyone's job, however, to facilitate that learning.
Several years ago, when I met with the superintendent to set my yearly goals, she questioned whether I had set them too high. I expected 95 percent of my students to meet or exceed the standards. I replied, "If I don't believe it, then who will?" Teachers were told to either believe that all students can learn, or else seek another job. No excuses are acceptable. The instructional leader keeps the vision visible.
I believe that there are five essential elements in creating a high-performing school.
High-achieving schools must have systematic, specific interventions in place for low achievers. I am responsible for making sure that interventions are in place for struggling students. This begins when students are four years old, through early intervention programs and full-day kindergarten. A master schedule that arranges blocks of time for core content instruction ensures that there is time set aside for individual instruction. Students can receive one-on-one support through before- and after-school programs, and other supplemental programs.
High-achieving schools have collaborative teams. Frankford's 36 teachers meet regularly to discuss curricular issues. Tests and writing exercises are collaboratively graded to ensure that the standard of achievement is the same for all. Faculty meetings are scheduled frequently to identify staff needs. Our School Leadership Team, which is made up of one teacher per grade level, plans professional development and collaborates on writing grant applications. To date, these have brought in over $750,000.
High-achieving schools use data to drive decisions and continuous improvement. The School Leadership Team uses schoolwide data (e.g., student test scores, program evaluations) to write the consolidated grant application, in which we apply for funds for our school improvement plan. Everyone uses data to determine program effectiveness. For every extracurricular program in which a student is involved, there is data to determine what is working and what is not. At the end of the year, teachers participate in "Data Day" to analyze each student's progress. They also review data for students in our feeder schools to help them understand the long-term implications of what they do.
High-achieving schools must gain support from family and community. As part of our efforts to engage the community, our teachers must contact at least 10 parents a month and meet with every parent at least once during the school year. Our school also hosts family literacy and math nights, as well as a "Writers' Tea" during which parents hear their children read their writing.
High-achieving schools must develop sustainable leadership capacity at all levels. In our school, everyone is expected to be a leader in some aspect. Teachers chair the schoolwide discipline committee, content committees and technology committee. They decide the distribution of technology and needed staff development. I conduct conferences at the end of the school year to give staff members the opportunity to share ideas and decide what changes need to be made. I also try to encourage our teachers to attend Aspiring Administrator workshops and pursue higher education.
Our community has also given the school overwhelming support. Over 150 people have volunteered as mentors through HOSTS [the model program Help One Student to Succeed]. Volunteers from the Lions Club [an international community service organization] completed vision screening for all preschool and kindergarten children. Frankford residents also have contributed many needed items, such as dictionaries, thesauruses, school supplies, televisions and clothing.
I know that I cannot achieve results alone. All staff members must be involved in the process of creating a high performing, results-oriented school.
Sharon Brittingham has been the principal of Frankford Elementary School in Delaware since 1997. She has been in education for 34 years and was honored in 2003 as a National Distinguished Principal.

New Guide!
Creating Innovative Pathways to School Leadership
America's schools are meeting the challenge of moving students toward proficiency in reading and math due in large part to strong school leaders who are helping to realize the goals of No Child Left Behind at the local level. Attracting high-quality professionals to lead schools where they are most needed is critical to maintaining this progress.
A new publication from the U.S. Department of Education examines how communities are recruiting and training potential leaders from beyond the traditional pipeline of experienced educators. Innovative Pathways to School Leadership profiles six pioneering programs that create rigorous routes toward becoming a school principal or administrator for non-traditional candidates.
The Boston Principal Fellowship program, for example, helped Kyle Dodson, who was working as the director of multicultural student affairs at Saint Michael's College in Vermont, overcome the hurdle of obtaining administrative credentials without having to return to school. Within just one year, Dodson, who has a graduate degree in management, was hired as the principal of a new school in Boston. In addition to the six program profiles, the guide outlines criteria for recruitment strategies, an effective selection process and a successful school leadership program.
Innovative Pathways to School Leadership is the final publication of a six-booklet series on promising practices published by the Department's Office of Innovation and Improvement. The other titles in the series survey public school choice, supplemental educational services, charter schools, magnet schools, and alternate routes to teacher certification.

Russell based his comment on the first reading: Jeremiah 23: 23-25. Jeremiah suffered rejection from the people because they chose not to follow God's word. To study Jeremiah, one sees he is the true prophet who speaks God's word rather than the false prophets who mislead the people through dreams. A true prophet is compared to wheat, while a false prophet is no more than worthless straw.
God did not want the Israelites to have another king because of past history. Even three of their kings: David, Solomon and Ezekiel had flawed character traits in spite of their good deeds. God saw that the actions of kinds were like shepherds who did not tend their flocks and allowed them to scatter and commit evil. God declared that he himself would gather again the flock and bring it back to his word.
In current times, people have turned away from God by the decisions of some judges. Their actions were not voted by the people. Their decision was to close God from anything such as school programs and sporting events by making prayer against the law. The reason they stated was to keep from offending any other groups. The United States is a Christian nation and has been blessed by God with the overall result of being good from its people.
Jeremiah had difficulty making people listen to him when the false prophets gave out false hope and illusions and statements that no harm would come to them. Israelites learned the hard way and they bore the brunt of their leaders as God scattered them all over the ends of the earth. The word of God is forever. One finds in history and now it is not good to step away from God.
God is in charge. He will not tolerate worship of other gods. Leaders are human and might think astray. The people who followed God did what they did by faith and wondered what might happen if they lost that faith. Punishment follows when one does not follow God. We are faced every day by groups who try to set margins between us and God.
Visitors and congregational members are advised that there will be only one service on Aug. 25 at 9:30 a.m. A called congregational meeting will be held following this service to discuss and vote on items which pertain to Good Shepherd Lutheran.

The Energy Crisis Is Ending
The "secret sauce" of the Obama Administration is that it's working on the same trick -- but not through foreign policy jawboning. Instead, it's being done through the liberal use of fracking technology, and the encouragment of renewable energy (especially efficiency).
The big business story of 2013 will be that the energy crisis is over.
In the last year we've seen the price of natural gas roll over. Flaring of gas in the oilpatch and a reduction in new gas production have gotten prices back to break-even. Now oil is in the process of doing the same thing.
Energy producers are starting to notice their boom times are ending, as in this story from Oilprice.com, which claims $1.2 billion in profits have been lost because increased production is exceeding pipeline capacity. Oil bulls insisted to me at SeekingAlpha.com that this is a short-term phenomenon, a chance for big companies like Exxon Mobil (XOM) to take out smaller players, and that growth in places like China and India will save the day.
Really? It's true that, in the near term, the best way to play this might be with railroads that serve the oilpatch such as Union Pacific (UNP) and Canadian Pacific (CP) , as Reuters reports.What the energy industry needs right now is infrastructure, not more holes in the ground but more pipelines along the ground, toward the booming production of West Texas and North Dakota. Chemical companies including Dow (DOW) and DuPont (DD) are also announcing plans to build plants in the U.S. Would they be doing this if lower prices were just a short-term phenomenon?
Production is only half the story. The U.S. is still the world's largest energy consumer. The gradual implementation of CAFE standards, mandating higher gas mileage, is starting to place a thumb down on domestic consumption while at the same time creating new export markets for American engines. Efficiency is the cheapest form of renewable energy, and it still delivers a payoff even with falling prices.
When they acknowledge a short-term glut of product, the oil bulls also assume this will kill other forms of burnable energy. (Heads I win, tails you lose.) Well, DuPont just broke ground on a new cellulosic ethanol refinery in Iowa, reports BioFuelsDigest, as part of a new boom in non-food biofeedstocks.Biofuel companies that had been beaten down all year including Solazyme (SZYM) are proving they can deliver at scale, Seekingalpha.com reports, and start-ups are working on a whole new class of "electrofuels" that produce electricity directly from living matter, BiofuelsDigest adds. Biofuel producers say they can make money with today's prices, and that their costs are falling.
What about the sun?

You manage a heterogeneous network and want to provide different Quality of Service agreements and network restrictions based on the client operating system. With pf and altq, you can now limit the amount of bandwidth available to users of different operating systems, or force outbound web traffic through a transparent filtering proxy. This article describes how to install pf, altq, and Squid on your FreeBSD router and web proxy to achieve these goals.
In an ideal environment, there would be no need for bandwidth shaping, OS fingerprint-based filtering, or even Quality of Service (QoS). Several factors in the real world require a change of game plan. Bandwidth is not free, and many ISPs charge customers based on bandwidth usage. Worms, viruses, and compromised systems can all lead to higher bandwidth costs. In the wake of the W32.Slammer worm, which saturated the connections of infected networks, many companies saw their monthly connectivity bills skyrocket due to the worm's traffic.
Filtering your connections based on operating system can go partway to helping keep such situations from running away. While I will focus on filtering traffic from Windows systems, this process can equally apply to BSD, Linux, Mac OS, or a host of other operating systems listed in the pf.os file on your system. This may be especially useful to people running older versions of OSes that have not or cannot be patched but still require some network connectivity.
As an extension of transparent filtering, content filtering is also possible, with tools such as squidGuard allowing children and corporate desktops alike to browse in relative safety.
During my research for this article, several people asked me why I chose to use BSD, pf, altq, and Squid for this task. Other tools come close to providing the required functionality, but none offers to fill the requirements as readily as these. Linux and iptables can work with Squid to provide a transparent proxy but cannot filter connections by operating system. Though other proxy servers exist, Squid is one of the best available today.
It is important to note that OS fingerprinting works only on TCP SYN packets, which initiate TCP sessions, and not on currently established connections or UDP sessions. While this will not be a problem for most systems and network administrators, you may want to pay more attention to your UDP filtering rules.
pf and altq provide packet filtering and bandwidth shaping, respectively. Their relationship is not unlike that between
IPFIREWALL and
DUMMYNET, where the same rules file configures both pf and altq.
While pf is universally usable, altq requires a supported network card. The good news is that most network cards in common use are supported. Look at the Supported Devices section of
man 4 altq to find a list of supported network cards.
Once you've confirmed you have a supported device, add pf and altq to your kernel. You will need to recompile your kernel as described in the FreeBSD Handbook. First, add a few options to the end of your kernel configuration file:
device pf
options ALTQ
options ALTQ_CBQ
options ALTQ_RED
options ALTQ_RIO
options ALTQ_HFSC
options ALTQ_CDNR
options ALTQ_PRIQ
Note: If you are installing altq on a multiprocessor system, add
options ALTQ_NOPPC to your configuration before you recompile your kernel.
After you have recompiled your kernel and rebooted, test pf to make sure it installed correctly with the command
pfctl -s rules. If you see the error
pfctl: /dev/pf: No such file or directory, pf did not install correctly. If you see the error
No ALTQ support in kernel ALTQ related functions disabled, pf is working but altq is not. In the latter case, you will still be able to force users through a transparent proxy, but you won't be able to limit bandwidth using altq.
Install Squid with the command:
% cd /usr/ports/www/squid && make config install clean
This will present you with a list of options for compiling Squid. To enable transparent proxy support, select
SQUID_PF. You can also select or deselect any other option. I often find
SQUID_SNMP useful for gathering and graphing statistics using RRDTool. Once Squid is installed, edit /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf. Set at least the options:
http_port YOUR_PROXY_IP:3128
http_access deny to_localhost
acl our_networks src YOUR_NETWORK/24
http_access allow our_networks
visible_hostname YOUR_HOSTNAME
httpd_accel_host virtual
httpd_accel_port 80
httpd_accel_with_proxy on
httpd_accel_uses_host_header on
Replace YOUR_PROXY_IP with the IP address your proxy server will listen on,
YOUR_NETWORK/24 with your internal network address range (for example, 192.168.0.0/24), and YOUR_HOSTNAME with the hostname you want to show to users in error messages. YOUR_HOSTNAME is not required but extremely useful if you have a cluster of proxy servers sharing a common front end such as a load balancer.
While you can get by with changing only these options, you should spend some time going through the remainder of your squid.conf file and tuning it to your needs. Over time, you may need to tune various other options such as cache sizes or connection timeouts. The Squid configuration file is a behemoth; spending an hour now getting familiar with various options may save you time and trouble in the future.

This step is optional for those who wish to do content filtering. I use squidGuard to filter content on my home network, in order to prevent my young children from running into sites I feel are unsuitable. The possible applications for this are endless, as squidGuard offers blacklists for ads, adult content, drugs, gambling sites, hate sites, and more.
Install squidGuard with the command:
% cd /usr/ports/www/squidguard && make install clean
Next to Squid, squidGuard is very simple to configure--which is probably a good thing, as you spent the last two hours configuring Squid, right?
Copy /usr/local/etc/squid/squidGuard.conf.sample to /usr/local/etc/squid/squidGuard.conf and open it in your editor of choice. If you wish to filter by time of day, read the Configuring squidGuard guide. For now, the filters should always be enabled. Remove the existing
source sample-clients block, and create a new block in its place with your own network range:
source localnet {
ip 192.168.0.0/24
At the end of the file, replace the existing
acl block with a new block:
acl {
default {
pass !ads !drugs !gambling !porn all
redirect http://YOUR_WEBSERVER/cgi-bin/squidGuard.cgi? \
Note: Do not include the line break in the
redirect line.
This ACL will deny access to any URLs listed in the ads, drugs, gambling, and porn databases. Other databases are also available; there is a list in the configuration file before the
acl blocks from which to choose. Pay particular attention to the
redirect statement, which makes reference to a CGI. In the event that a user visits a restricted site, squidGuard will redirect the request to this URL. A sample squidGuard.cgi is available for you to download. Place this on a web server and alter the
redirect to change
YOUR_WEBSERVER to the name of your web server.
You must also configure Squid to use squidGuard with the
redirect_program directive in /usr/local/etc/squid/squid.conf. Open this file one last time and search for the line:
# TAG: redirect_program
Below this, add the command:
redirect_program /usr/local/bin/squidGuard
The time has come to bring all the installed programs and changes together by configuring the packet filter and bandwidth shaper. By default, FreeBSD keeps pf's configuration in /etc/pf.conf. The sample configuration file is very well documented. To start, consider an example of filtering with Network Address Translation (NAT). This example assumes an internet connection with available bandwidth of 3Mb downstream and 512Kb upstream:
ext_if = "fxp0"
external_addr = "22.214.171.124"
int_if = "fxp1"
internal_net = "192.168.0.0/24"
proxy_server = "192.168.0.10"
altq on $ext_if bandwidth 512Kb cbq queue { windows_out, trusted_out }
queue windows_out bandwidth 20%
queue trusted_out bandwidth 80%
altq on $int_if bandwidth 3Mb cbq queue { windows_in, trusted_in }
queue windows_in bandwidth 20%
queue trusted_in bandwidth 80%
rdr on $int_if inet proto tcp from $internal_net os "Windows" to any \
port www -> $proxy_server port 3128
nat on $ext_if from $internal_net to any -> ($ext_if)
pass out quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from $proxy_server \
to any port www keep state queue windows_out
pass out quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from $internal_net os "Windows" \
to any keep state queue windows_out
pass out quick on $ext_if inet proto tcp from $internal_net os "unknown" \
to any keep state queue windows_out
pass out on $ext_if inet proto tcp from $internal_net \
to any keep state queue trusted_out
pass out quick on $int_if proto tcp from any to $proxy_server \
queue windows_in
pass out on $int_if proto tcp from any to $internal_net queue trusted_in
The first five lines declare variables that the rule set will use repeatedly. Variables are quite helpful in configuration files. By using them correctly, you can save much time in the future if you need to change IP addresses, network interfaces, protocols, or almost anything else. When you declare a variable in your rules file, access it later as
The six altq configuration lines that follow set the amount of available bandwidth. Bandwidth is controlled on the interface where packets leave the router. Packets going from the network to the internet leave the router on
$ext_if, so we set
$ext_if to 512Kb. Similarly, packets coming into the network from the internet leave the router in
$int_if, so the rules set
$int_if to 3Mb. pf understands b, Kb, Mb, and Gb, which represent bits, kilobits, megabits, and gigabits per second, respectively.
The altq line then specifies the type of scheduler to use to queue packets. The example uses
cbq. The schedulers decide which order the queues are processed in. Class Based Queuing (CBQ) splits the available network bandwidth between two or more queues, where each queue has packets assigned to it by source or destination addresses, port or other identifiable factor (in this case, operating system). Queues can also have a priority to deal with some packets before others. The OpenBSD Packet Queuing page has more detail on the different types of schedulers.
The end of this line specifies which queues to limit.
The next two lines define the queues themselves that altq will handle. The format is quite understandable and explicitly states how much bandwidth is available to each queue. You can specify this either as a percentage or a fixed amount. If you think of your internet connection as a road, a queue defines how many lanes different packets can travel on. The more lanes they can use, the more data gets transferred. This configuration then repeats for the incoming bandwidth.
rdr line is the key to the filtering objective. It specifies that all TCP traffic (
proto tcp) from the internal network (
$internet_net) that comes from a Windows system and is going to any other address on port 80 (
os "Windows" to any port www), should redirect to the proxy server on port 3128 (
-> $proxy_server port 3128).
nat line sets up network address translation, which lets the internal network communicate with the internet.
Notice that each line of the pf rules also ends in either
trusted_in, or
trusted_out. These are the four queues set up previously as part of the altq rules; this lets pf know which queues pf and altq should use when processing the packets. These queues are entirely optional. Leaving them out of the pf rules would prevent altq from limiting the bandwidth of any packets matching those rules.
The simplest format of the pf rules is:
<pass|block> <in|out> on <interface> from <src> to <dst>
[keep state] [queue <queue_name>]
In addition, you can also give port numbers and protocols.
This rule set includes a special rule for unknown OS traffic. Patches to operating systems and IP stacks can change the fingerprint of packets. Filtering all unrecognized traffic through the Windows queue helps avoid future problems.
The last two rules control inbound traffic. Because it is not possible to know whether the destination system is Windows, pf cannot filter the incoming traffic based on an operating system not already using the proxy. In practice, this does not pose a serious problem, as all of the web traffic from these systems is already traveling across the bandwidth-restricted proxy. If the Windows systems run peer-to-peer software such as BitTorrent, that traffic will not go through the proxy. In this case, queue such traffic by giving the port numbers used, as follows:
bittorrent_ports = "6881:6999"
pass out quick on $int_if proto { tcp, udp } from any to any \
port $bittorrent_ports queue windows_in

Dordt College News
$600,000 grant funds summer research and learning camps
October 17, 2013
Dordt College received a collaborative grant with Hope College from the National Science Foundation for approximately $600,000. The grant proposal, titled "Developing Integrated Metabolic Regulatory Models (iMRMs) for the Investigation of Metabolic and Regulatory Diversity of Sequenced Microbes," will allow Dordt College to use its share of the money, approximately $250,000, for undergraduate and high school summer research and learning.
The college will host undergraduate research students for eight- to 10-weeks in the summer to do research on the regulation of metabolic processes across a wide range of bacteria. Dr. Nathan Tintle, Dordt College professor of statistics, says that "the grant will help provide funding for students to come to Dordt's campus to participate in cutting-edge interdisciplinary research."
Since coming to Dordt College in 2011, Tintle has worked on and continues to work on several projects with colleagues from Hope College, where he taught prior to his appointment at Dordt. "Collaboration with leading faculty in the sciences at institutions from around the world, is a necessary part of any cutting-edge research endeavor. Today's meaningful scientific problems cannot be tackled by any single researcher, from any single discipline." says Tintle. "This grant will cement an important, long-standing relationship with a number of researchers at Hope College for years to come."
In collaboration with colleagues at Hope and other institutions, Tintle has developed a Systems Biology Knowledgebase for the Department of Energy and created a textbook that could change the content and teaching methods of most introductory statistics courses.
The new grant also supports opportunities for high school students to participate in IDEAS, a weeklong, interdisciplinary science, summer academic camp. At IDEAS (Inter-Disciplinary Explorations Across the Sciences), students explore, in depth, of one of five areas of the sciences: 1) agriculture, 2) bio-medical sciences/environmental studies/chemistry, 3) computer science, 4) mathematics/statistics, or 5) physics. They also participate in research related to bacterial metabolism.
Tintle believes that high school and post-secondary education often falls short "in capitalizing on the tremendous potential and interdisciplinary insights of our top students."
IDEAS offers an opportunity for high-caliber, science-minded students to get a taste of cutting-edge collaborative research and work with excellent faculty and facilities at Dordt College.

Hi. Is there anyone here familiar with extended, exclusive nursing?
The problem is my third son, now 12 mo. old. He refuses to eat anything but breastmilk, and he's very small for his age. The ped said he looked fine @ 9 mo., albeit small, but I didn't I didn't tell him he was still breastfeeding exclusively. I nursed my other two boys exclusively for about this long, but they were fat, and they weren't as adamant about refusing food.
He is sleeping well (about 9 hours at night), he's happy, he's cruising, crawling, and climbing, and saying a couple of words, and everything seems fine, except that he hates food so much.
When should I insist that he eat food?

A woman is facing a hefty prison term for practicing the piano too loudly.
Two neighbors in Spain battled for several years over the what one neighbor says was "noise pollution" caused by constant piano-playing, according to The Associated Press. Now, the complaining neighbor, Sonia Bosom, has taken Laia Martin, her 27-year-old, professional piano-playing neighbor and her parents to court. Prosecutors aim to send all three to jail for over seven years on charges of psychological damage and noise pollution.
Bosom claimed she suffered noise pollution from 2003 to 2007 due to the five-days-a-week, eight-hour practice sessions of Martin, who lived in the apartment below her. The prosecution claims that Bosom suffered "psychological injury" from years of hearing constant playing.
The decibel levels of the piano playing has even been tested throughout the course of the trial and was repeatedly up to 10 decibels higher than the 30-decibel limit laid down for musical instruments in the town. The family was asked by the city to soundproof the room, which they did twice, but the noise continued.
Martin and her parents now face a seven-and-a-half-year jail sentence. All three have been prohibited from playing the piano professionally for four years.
