The $2 1/2 Indian set was issued from 1908 through 1929. There are only 15 coins in the complete set, including three issues from the Denver Mint. If the set is collected in circulated condition there is only one key date (the 1911-D), but if the set is assembled in MS65, there are many challenging coins to be located.
The $2 1/2 Indian series is one of only two ever issued with an incuse design, the $5 Indian being the other. The key dates in gem condition are the 1911-D, 1914-D, 1912, 1914, and 1911, in that order.

text: Our newest feature tells the story of the occupation of a derelict building in Chapel Hill, North Carolina on November 12-13, 2011, drawing on accounts from a wide range of participants. While anarchists and corporate media have circulated news of this action far and wide, the experiences shared inside the building have remained a sort of black box. This report opens up that box, just as the occupiers opened up the building, to reveal a world of possibility. • Breaking and Entering a New World • Personal Accounts from a Building Occupation Movement

Moving? If so, you're not alone. Summer is a popular season to move, and whether you are moving down the block or across the country, it's important to consider how the move will affect your feline companion.
The key to a smooth transition for your cat is to start preparing well beforehand. Cats thrive on consistency, so it is important to continue feeding, grooming and playing with your cat as normal throughout the packing process at home, according to CatChannel.com. You should also try to stay as stress-free as you can. Cats tend to pick up on their owners' moods and it can affect how they feel and act. Maintaining a calm demeanor can prevent cat behavior problems and keep everyone stress-free during the move.
You should also sort out all the logistics of bringing your cat to a new place. If you are moving across state lines, you will need to find a new veterinarian and check out any laws that state has about felines, such as certain cat vaccinations or licenses.
Schedule a veterinary appointment well before the move to get a clean bill of health and collect your cat's health records so your new veterinarian can pick up right where you left off. Your current veterinarian may even be able to recommend someone near your new home.
If your move requires airplane travel with your cat, try to schedule direct flights during non-peak days and hours, VCA Animal Hospitals reports. This will ensure your cat travels for the least amount of time possible, preventing unnecessary stress and promoting its overall wellbeing. Check with the airline to see if they allow cats in the cabin, too. Many airlines allow cats on board as long as they stay in their carriers and do not disturb other passengers.

The inspectors are not really any match for the people they're inspecting."— everybody's forgotten that, but there was $9 per barrel oil in the late 1990s — BP became excessively concerned with cutting costs and they did it quite irresponsibly with respect to the refinery in Texas City. I think that that culture continued on into the era that followed Lord Browne [former BP CEO John Browne, who resigned in 2007]. It was he who oversaw that cost-cutting. Tony Hayward, I think, was trying to fix the problem. He just didn't get to it. And that culture did not change.
As Tony Hayward told me, the response capability was wholly inadequate to the size of the spill."happen again until there is an absolutely impermeable wall between the revenue generation and the environment and safety regulation. We've simply got to recognize the reality and have a sustainable situation without any temptation to let revenues affect regulation. There's going to have to be an independent entity within the department, run by someone who is appointed and confirmed for a term, and not serving at the pleasure of the president or the secretary.
Clearly we have learned you cannot count on government to protect us from incompetence on the part of industry."under any circumstances. The aviation industry had 12 to 15 serious accidents a year. The FAA got together with the manufacturer, Boeing, and they figured out how to improve safety with better training for pilots, better monitors in the cockpits, better navigation instrumentation, a whole range of things, safety practices. So the lessons are there. The chemical industry did something similar after Bhopal with responsible care. The oil and gas industry has not done it and they need to do it for two reasons. One, clearly we have learned you cannot count on government to protect us all from misbehavior or incompetence on the part of industry. Government's not up to that. Secondly, the best companies have the strongest interest in it, because irrespective of their own performance, if there is a laggard or a corner-cutter who gets in trouble, as we saw in the Gulf, everybody's rigs will be shut down.
In terms of the response itself, I was really shocked to see that technology had not developed in 20 years."water, from what I saw, because of the high wave and wind action — skimmers are essentially designed for placid harbors. And they didn't work much in the Gulf. I think the whole flotilla, and there were hundreds of boats deployed, they collected something like 6 percent of the spilled oil. Clearly that's one more sign of complacency on the part of government and industry that that technology didn't advance. In the last 20 years, money that was appropriated for it in the early years after the Exxon Valdez gradually eroded away with not an especially effective evolution as a result.
The risk we face is that the country's attention span will not maintain support for attending to the spill and its consequences."most of us. It's clear that the bugs did the best job of any response in getting rid of the oil. I have to say I was surprised it seemed to go so fast. Having said that, there have been substantial trace amounts of oil — in the parts per billion range — that could nevertheless have some consequences for the ecology. We don't really know that, but it's not fair to assume that simply because you can't see it any longer, it's no longer there. It's potentially a cause of distress to one or more species that ingest it. That's one of those questions that will have to be answered by monitoring.

The Kansas Association of Teachers of Science issued a response to the state science standards adopted in November 2005 by the state board of education, the Lawrence Journal-World (February 14, 2006) reported. "By redefining science in the Kansas Science Education Standards," the statement reads in part, "the KBOE is promoting intelligent design tenets that purport supernatural explanations as valid scientific theories. ...
House Concurrent Resolution 1043 (RTF), introduced in the Oklahoma legislature on February 7, 2006, would, if enacted, encourage "the State Board of Education and local boards of education to revise the recommended academic curriculum content standards in science to ensure that, upon graduation, all students can accomplish the following: 1. Use of [sic] the scientific method to critically evaluate scientific theories including, but not limited to, the theory of evolution; and 2.
NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott, Wesley R. Elsberry, and Nick Matzke will be in St. Louis, Missouri, for the AAAS annual meeting from February 16 to February 20. Elsberry and Matzke will be staffing NCSE's booth in the exhibit hall, where information about NCSE, and signed copies of Scott's book Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction, will be available.
According to early reports [Link broken], the Ohio Board of Education voted 11-4 at its February 14, 2006, meeting to remove both the "Critical Analysis of Evolution" model lesson plan and the corresponding indicator in the state standards. The board's vote follows in the wake of a motion to remove the lesson plan during the board's January meeting, which failed 9-8.
Although a proposal to remove the controversial "Critical Analysis of Evolution" lesson plan from the Ohio model science curriculum was narrowly defeated at the January meeting of the Ohio state board of education, the proposal is likely to be renewed at the board's February meeting, thanks to both a thinly disguised reproach from Ohio Governor Bob Taft (R) and a stinging rebuke from a large majority of the committee that originally helped to develop the standards.

Accommodation summary
|Via dei Pilastri, 50121 Florence, 意大利
Perfect for a couple with a cozy loft bed, and even with the addition of a sofa bed for two or one children (or maybe for the third wheel!), this pied-à-terre recently renovated, offers all the comforts of a modern environment, conceived and designed on a daily use, since is usually occupied by the owners, often traveling for work. Inside, a fully equipped electric kitchen, a very silent washing machine, HD LED TV with DTT broadcasts, large closet, a small and intimate bathroom with shower also adjustable for a vertical jet.
Situated within the ancient walls in the district of Santa Croce, you will be immersed in the local culture, with the close and lively market of Sant 'Ambrogio and his busy small square, perfect for a glass of wine and an happy-hour at sunset (and free WiFi). Only 5 minutes walk from the most famous monuments like the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Giotto's bell tower and its Baptistery, the Uffizi Gallery, the Ponte Vecchio, Palazzo Pitti and its magnificent Boboli Gardens, and too many still to be seen. Alternatively, also the nearby urban bus lines 06 or C2 will take you in the central Piazza Santa Maria Novella in about 15 minutes, and a few meters away, located on the viali (our boulevards), with line 13, you will reach the picturesque Piazzale Michelangelo in few minutes, where you'll see the plateau of one of the most recognizable skylines in the world (for information on public transport visit ataf.net).
And do not forget to leave some time for shopping, Florence is well known throughout Italy for its hand-crafted, and competitive manufacturing high-level, either in the world of fashion, jewelry and furnishings, often recognizable on the population. All the historic center is sprinkled with small shops and local craft brands, the choice is yours.
Oh yes, I can spend few words on food if you want, but still it will not work. Food is an amazing experience, it's "the art", make and destroy...and well, guess what, in Italy we do it at least 3 times a day, every day, and apparently we do it pretty swell, so with our advice you'll not forget it, I swear.
Now the bad things: parking is one of the biggest problems even for us, locals, and with our central location, we do not recommend to arrive by car, having regard to its uselessness in the town center, and its expensive and difficult parking solution... walk, or possibly rent a bicycle is highly preferable and objectively cheaper, funnier and healthier. However, there are private garages located not too far from the apartment, and they like honey, we can easily help you to find one of these, or when possible, an other solution.
We are a family of travelers, and we have always had in our blood this sense of hospitality, labor and conviviality. It will be a pleasure to inform and introduce you to some places or sites off the beaten path from the traditional tourism (sadly inevitable), the less chic and more cheap 'n' cheer restaurants and bars, and the less publicized local events, to at least try and keep the memory of a beautiful city and the people, that is what we seek in a successful holiday, and it's what we expect you to have.
Anyway, enjoy Florence, it is a beautiful place...Ciao belli!
住宿规定Our house will be yours, treat it simply as such, we hope then that you will be like us, ordered, clean and respectful of you and the neighbors. We will personally clean the flat, the furnishings, sheets and towels, once you'll check out . We only ask to obey the rules for municipal waste collection, and to individually dispose your trash in the dedicated collection points.

My girlfriend & I stayed at this wonderful flat in April, the flat is within walking distance of everything that Florence has to offer, well as long as you don't mind walking, the flat was the perfect size for us & had everything we need, i.e fridge for beers & basic cooking implements. The host Ale is a very cool guy with a great knowledge of the cities amazing places to drink & dine, so glad to we had the pleasure of meeting him. Both of us LOVED Florence such a BEAUTIFUL city.
EStuvimos una semana en Florencia, en este apartamento que está muy bien, equipado con lo necesario y muy limpio. La ropa de cama también esta incluida y hay lavadora. En cuanto al propietario, muy atento y servicial, aunque el contacto lo tuvimos con la hermana, muy muy amable. Ale nos indicó cómo llegar desde la estación, etc.
Está cerca del casco histórico, tanto santa croce, como el duomo, catedral, ufizzi y academia, queda como a media hora el que está mas lejos. Cerca de supermecados, restaurantes, panaderías, etc. También la parada de autobuses queda a cinco minutos. Nosotros lo hicimos todo caminando.
Muy recomendable!
Super appart, très commode, très bien situé, en plus, grâce aux infos d'Ale j'ai pu profiter du festival du film qui était super!! Je vous le recommande vivement!!
Die Ferienwohnung ist sehr gut am Rand der Altstadt gelegen. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt sind zu Fuß erreichbar.
Eine große Markthalle und ein lebhaftes Kneipenviertel liegen ca. 300m entfernt.
Die einfach aber originell eingerichtete Wohnung ist ordentlich ausgestattet, in der Küche fehlt es allerdings an wichtigen Gegenständen wie Messer, Sparschäler, einem Schneidebrett aus Holz oder Kunststoff, etc.
Der Kontakt mit dem Wohnungsgeber war ausgezeichnet und freundlich.

VW's Autostadt automotive exhibition complex in Wolfsburg is home to one of Germany's culinary stars. Sven Elverfeld has made Restaurant Aqua at The Ritz-Carlton Hotel one of the best in the world.
Since opening Restaurant Aqua in Wolfsburg in spring 2000, Sven Elverfeld has pulled off a remarkable programme of individualisation that has resulted in a very personal interpretation of the refined avant garde. Elverfeld's cuisine does not aim to be an intellectual reflection of himself; rather he employs every available technique and design in precise, targeted ways in order to benefit the flavours in his food and therefore delight his guests. With just a hint of irony and a nod to his native Hessen, he presents his own interpretations of traditional dishes: his Tafelspitz (soured boiled rump) of Müritz lamb, Frankfurt green sauce, potato and egg conjures up childhood memories of food but also lifts them to a higher plane. Their transparent, Mondrian-style arrangement on the plate enables the main protagonist to shine through, quite unlike the usual childlike blend of all the ingredients.
But Elverfeld also creates his own innovative flavour scenarios: in his langoustine & charcoal-grilled belly of suckling pig, beefsteak tomato, crustacean mayonnaise and balsamico emulsion , the deftly incorporated grilled flavour of the wafer-thin slice of pork belly sets a counterpoint to a formidable langoustine whose interaction with intense tomato flesh and an emulsion of balsamico, soy sauce, mustard and Picual olive oil (produced with a high-speed emulsifier) is given a sweet-sour slant. Overall, an intricate web of flavours is spun around the langoustine, the sheer quality of which guarantees its position as ringmaster.

Cold avocado ginger soup can cool us down while provide a wonderful tasteful adventure.
I have always enjoyed avocados and we have them here at my house most every week. This soup has a smooth and creamy texture with flavors that roll around on your tongue giving the palate a great deal of satisfaction. Garnished with crčma fresca and pickled ginger, the pickled ginger is an outstanding contrast of taste and texture.
If you are going to use your avocados right away, you want to buy them ripe. If not feel free to purchase them while they are still firm and hard, allowing them to ripen on your counter. When ripe if you are still not ready to use them place them in the refrigerator. The cold temperature will halt the ripening process and keep them from going bad. Bring them back to room temperature when you are ready to use.
Avocados are quite a healthy food. While a good source of potassium, fiber, folate and vitamin C, avocados are also heart healthy. Containing monounsaturated fats, just like extra virgin olive oil, makes the avocado a welcome ingredient. The following recipe contains lots of nutrition from other sources as well, like the fresh spinach.
Cold Avocado & Ginger Soup
Serves 4 to 6
4 large avocados
7 cups chicken broth, or vegetable broth
2 limes, juiced
1/2 large onion, chopped
3 Tbl fresh grated ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
3/4 cup half and half
1 bunch cilantro leaves, rinsed
1 small Serrano pepper, ribs and seeds removed, chopped
(If you like the heat, leave in some or all of the serrano ribs and seeds)
1 cup fresh spinach, about 2 to 3 ounces
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
Crčma Fresca
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp lime juice
1/8 tsp salt
Crema Fresca: In a bowl, mix heavy cream with sour cream until combined. Whisk in lime and salt, Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Cut avocados lengthwise; twist to separate halves; remove pit; with a spoon, scoop out halves; coarsely chop.
Using a blender puree all the ingredients for the soup. Since this should take two or three turns with the blender be sure to whisk all of the puree together. Chill for about three hours.
Spoon some crema fresca into the center of each serving. Garnish with pickled ginger.

Resources for Renters
More than 6 million Texans rent their homes. Most don't cause problems for the property or the property owner, and most don't have any significant problems with their rental housing or the property owner.
About TAA
The Texas Apartment Association is a not-for-profit statewide trade association representing rental property owners and operators.
- TAA is not a state agency or regulatory body.
- TAA does not own or manage rental housing property.
- TAA members may choose to use TAA's standard leasing forms and related documents. These forms may only be used by TAA members. Samples of some common forms are shown in the "Useful Resources" section on the left of this screen.
- TAA does not keep rental history records on individuals, nor does it provide locator services.
- TAA does not investigate or mediate disputes between rental housing owners and residents. We refer all resident complaints to the local apartment association in the area.
What does TAA do for renters?
- TAA has developed a new Lease Contract Overview video that highlights important information in the lease for residents. Click here to view this resource.
- The TAA Education Foundation offers Renting 101, a free online program to better educate first-time renters about their rights and responsibilities.
- TAA communicates regularly with our members about changes in the laws and regulations that govern rental property.
- TAA provides resources and assistance to ensure that our members are operating effectively, legally and ethically.
- TAA has been a key proponent of legislation that has increased habitability and security standards for residents of rental housing.
- Legislation supported by TAA has set the standard for security devices (locks and other items) required in residential rental housing. Texas laws are among the nation's toughest for required security devices and for return of security deposits.
- TAA has also supported uniform statewide fencing requirements for pool yards at rental properties to improve pool safety and reduce the likelihood of accidental drowning.
- TAA has also been instrumental in supporting the passage of meaningful tort reform in the state. These reforms have helped keep a lid on operating costs and costs associated with frivolous lawsuits, which can add to the cost of rent.

Skip to comments.GOP strategists: Puerto Rico Gov. Fortuno is a sleeper vice presidential pick
Posted on 04/14/2012 3:24:23 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued
Puerto Rico Gov. Luis Fortuno (R) is a sleeper pick for the No. 2 spot on the 2012 presidential ticket, according to GOP strategists.
Republican front-runner Mitt Romney has kept his cards close to his chest on vice presidential prospects, saying that it would be presumptuous to think about it before winning the nomination. But in a recent interview with Newsmax, he described Fortuno as a solid conservative and a firm leader. He also dubbed Fortuno one of the great leaders of our party.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
Too little rigor when dealing with legal terms of art such as "citizen at birth" and "subject to jurisdiction" might lead some to believe that that statute conferred natural born citizenship, which term itself is a legal term of art for a status that cannot be conferred via statute.
It doesn't say what you're implying it to say, in other words. Revisit my comments above and understand that it is possible to be born in an unincorporated territory not fully subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.
Whew!!! Thanks for correcting that!
We've been over this before, you and I.
Read my post at #34.
Yes, Fortuno is a citzen. No, he is NOT a Natural Born citizen.
And yes, the eligibility requirements are the same for President as for VP.
Do it...
After reading his book, "Keeping the Republic", I really like Mitch Daniels, Gov. Indiana. He's done wonders for Ind.
Your speaking for the Republicans on this site I hope.
Rob Portman is an acceptable running mate, but not a great one. On the plus size is that he helps in Ohio, has a middle-class background (but attended elite private schools as a child), and that conservatives have nothing in particular against him. But conservatives aren't excited by him, either. Also, he's tainted by having worked for the Bush Administration and is even more establishment than Romney. Also, remember that he's only won one statewide election in Ohio so far, so he doesn't guarantee it. I'd describe him as a middling choice.
The Protestant thing is not a big deal to most voters and I don't think that a Mormom/Catholic Republican ticket will cause Evangelicals to support Obama.
I'm not sure that follows. Someone born in D.C. would certainly be a Natural Born Citizen. No one questioned that Barry Goldwater was a NBC, and he was born in the Arizona Territory. I guess the argument on the other side is that Puerto Ricans are citizens by statute and not under the Constitution, but, if the issue ever got to court, I would predict that the courts would say that Puerto Ricans are natural born citizens.
"Someone born in D.C. would certainly be a Natural Born Citizen."
Not true. It depends on more than one factor, for example, if your parents are foreign nationals working in a foreign nation's embassy. You are not a native born citizen unless your parents register your birth with local authorities in an attempt at dual citizenship.
Barry Goldwater was born in a territory with a different status than Puerto Rico. The Territory of Arizona was an organized incorporated territory of the United States that existed from February 24, 1863 until February 14, 1912, when it was admitted to the Union as the 48th state. See post #25.
The Supreme Court would most likely NOT declare Puerto Rican citizens eligible to run for President or VP. Puerto Rico is NOT a state within the Union and has repeatedly rejected becoming a part of the Union.
Which in particular?
No, No—Its Not a Latino Mittens needs—its a CONSERVATIVE! AS Juan McCain had Sarah Palin—Romney needs someone who is a popular conservative who has proven themselves—The list is a short one. Newt? Palin? Etc...
It's not about Evangelicals switching to Obama; it's about them staying home. President Bush was reelected in 2004, despite increased Democrat turnout, largely because he got millions of Evangelicals who hadn't voted in 2000 to vote that year. Taking the attitude of "what are they gonna do, vote for Obama?" is a good way to guarantee low conservative turnout and an Obama victory.
And it is pretty clear that (i) Romney can't win if he doesn't carry at least one of OH, PA or MI, (ii) Romney would likely lose to Obama in all three states if the elections were held today, and (iii) none of the trendy VP picks would deliver one of those states to Romney while helping him hold must-win VA, NC and FL (Romney will be on his own to pick up the one extra state he needs, be it NH or NV). While Portman has only won statewide in OH in a single election, that's the same number of statewide wins as Rubio in FL or Martinez in NM, and one more than Ryan in WI, and Portman won handily in a year in which the gubernatorial election was very close. If Romney can't carry OH without Portman on the ticket, then he won't carry it with any of the other VP candidates and Obama will be reelected.
Woodrow Wilson was born in Virginia, which left the Union when he was 4. I think he was living in Georgia by then, but Georgia also left the Union. Both states were "readmitted" in 1870, when Wilson was 13. For several years of his childhood he did not consider himself a citizen of the United States.
I don't think being born in Puerto Rico disqualifies someone from becoming President or Vice President, but being from a place with no electoral votes is a definite obstacle...plus are people willing to vote for someone with a tilde in his name? I doubt it.
Yes-—since WWI.
But has there ever been an adjudication of NBC status for such people? I can't find anything.
Has anyone done any serious vetting of this guy?
Why, to garner the most important voter in the history of the U.S. - the hispanic.
Don't you understand the "hispanic voter" has been elevated to supreme status?
I agree 100% with AuH2ORepublican. Fortuño is NOT conservative and is NOT acceptable. If the ticket is Romney/Fortuño, I'm voting third party (and since I'm from Illinois, spare me the "you'll cause Obama to win if you do that" argument). I will NOT support two dopes who lent their support to Obamacare at the time it was passed.
I'm sick of hearing the birther conspiricies about how you're not a "natural born citizen" unless both were parents were born American citizens, but with Fortuño the more important point is he doesn't even govern a state but a U.S. territory. He wouldn't help Romney win any more votes (areas of the U.S. mainland with large Puerto Rican populations, like NYC, would still vote RAT) and I would seriously question Romney's sanity if that's the guy he wants to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency. Saying it's OK because he's was born a U.S. citizen is like David Cameron tapping the Premier of Bermuda to be Deputy Prime Minister of the U.K. and shrugging off the fact she lives on the other side of the globe by pointing out she was born a British citizen and her head of state is Elizabeth II. While she's "british" on paper that argument won't fly.
In Fortuño's case, there are numerous Hispanic Republicans (ESPECIALLY after the 2010 election) that are more conservative than him and have won elections in the U.S. mainland. Thus there's no reason to even put him on a short list of veep choices.
I'm not saying no to Fortuño, I'm saying HELL NO.
I voted for a conservative VP the last time around, and we can see where that got us. I'm not doing it again.
I don't care who Mittens buys for his VP. I'm not voting for him.
We aren't stuck with him.
Defeatism will help us be stuck with him though.
I want to see a convention gone wild.

New Progressive Party, voted GOP? Don't understand
I'm not a birther and I don't think being born in Puerto Rico disqualifies you either (as someone else noted, Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona territory to U.S. citizen parents). However, people are forgetting the other part of the constitutional requirements for presidency, residency. It makes it very clear: "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States .
Even if you assumed they meant "non-consecutive" residency within the U.S., if you add up Fortuno's years in Washington when he served in Congress and his years in law school, it STILL doesn't add up to 14 years. I can't imagine the founders meant that living on an island territory somewhere "counted" as "within the United States", or the entire clause would be pointless since people nowhere near the United States could claim to be "residents". I think they put that clause in specifically to prevent what Fortuno advocates want here... someone who was "American born" on paper but has no ties to the United States physically or culturally in many years suddenly becoming the leader of our country. The clause was inserted for good reason, to prevent such a bizarre thing from happening.
As someone else noted, it sounds like a bad Twilight Zone episode (Rod Serling intoning: "Meet Luis Fortuño, age 51. He's the leader of a small spanish-speaking Latin American island who is about to become President of the United States. Not possible in the real world, you say, but Sr. Fortuño is about to find that anything can happen... in The Twilight Zone.")
morphing? As in not yet there?
No, it's lacking political savvy. Puerto Ricans in the US proper would still vote predominantly for Obama, as they are largely addicted to Democrats. And Mexican Americans (by far the largest "Hispanic" subgroup) and other voters of Latin American origin would likely not identify with a Puerto Rican candidate as countryman in any sense. Can't escape the feeling that the posted article from "The Hill" is bogus and that Fortuno's name could be thrown out here by Democrat sources merely as a trap to mislead Romney's camp.
The question isn't natural born citizen of the US, it's the residency requirement of "fourteen Years a Resident within the United States", which everyone forgets about but which Fortuno clearly doesn't meet.
The question isn't natural born citizen of the US, it's the residency requirement of "fourteen Years a Resident within the United States", which everyone forgets about but which Fortuno clearly doesn't meet.
If Fortuno is the VP choice, you won't have to worry about doing it again, since Fortuno is not a conservative. He's a RINO like Romney.
People also need to look at the issues that have arisen due to the re issuance of birth certificates there. Its been a mess.
If Romney is the Republican nominee, it will be the first election between two candidates neither of whose fathers was born in the US (if you count the colonies which later became the US as "US" in the case of the early Presidents).
Before Obama, I believe that the only Presidents with foreign-born fathers were Andrew Jackson and Chester Alan Arthur (the latter was elected Vice President and only became President because of his predecessor's assassination). Woodrow Wilson's mother was born in England.
The whole government is trying to move the ball down the field toward the goalposts of global governance.
I didn't ask you to repeat "birther" talking points. I asked you for specific authority to support your insane assertion. Particularly, can you cite a case that supports your contention regarding United States Citizens in Puerto Rico. Since when is a person who is born in a United States territory not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States?
I find it interesting that the "birther" folk like to continue to move the goalposts, yet can't provide support for their assertions beyond repeating the same talking points over and over again.
"The U.S. citizens born in Puerto Rico are not natural born citizens."
I believe they are. Isn't justice Sotomayor from Puerto Rico?
He may have star power, but how many people outside of PR have ever heard of him ? I think it's really far fetched, but the way this election cycle is going, anything is possible.
For what it's worth, I've been saying for over a year ... if one of the governors/former governors wins the nomination, s/he will have to have his/her VP with SOME actual DC experience, either in the Congress, or some high Administration spot with a GOP POTUS. You can't have two governors without some federal govt experience. Rubio will have less than 1/3 of a Senatorial term's worth of experience (i.e. nothing). Kasich, as former House Budget Committee chair and current governor of a big swing state, is probably the best option for Romney, assuming he's the nominee.
Puerto Ricans are, as long as their parents are citizens at the time of their birth, "natural born citizens". Sorry SatinDoll you are wrong.
You NAILED it here. Clearly and succinctly.
I have heard him spak and he is awesome. Young, dynamic and handsome. And Conservative. That being said... No way on this Earth will he be chosen.
Oh hell, it's long gone. Even Republicans despise it.
Woodrow Wilson's mother became a citizen upon marriage to Woodrow Wilson's father.
Sotomayor was born in the Bronx. Anyway it is not necessary to be a "natural born citizen" to become a justice on the Supreme Court.
His surprise pick for VP...brings together the Latino/tea party base in theory, looks good on paper ..
maybe this is why Rubio keeps denying that he will be on the ticket...he might know something we don't
And if Obama/dems challenges him on natural born citizen ..it opens him to scrutiny as well...well played mr rove!
Maybe he should put a genuine Republican on the ticket just so it'll be balanced.
Interesting that you bring Rubio into this particular conversation, because it has been bizarre - the sheer volume of Rubio's denials about all Veep talk. It's like every third day there's yet another Rubio statement about how he will NOT be a VP candidate.
I'm not concerned about eligibility. I think you can consider US territories as part of the country.
But that Auh2orepublican who knows Fortuño and Puerto Rican politics better than most of us is against it tells me all I need to know.
Puerto Rican voters are most important to us in Florida where they are swing voters (Jeb did well with them).
Most of the rest are in big cities (in states we aren't likely to win) where they are democrat voters who will not go against Obama.
If you want to secure Florida and get someone with "star power" the obvious choice is Rubio who is much more well known than Fortuño and well liked by the tea party. Fortuño on the other hand has a record you can find fault with.
A Puerto Rican (or the Cuban Rubio) isn't necessarily the best candidate to fire up Hispanic voters in general. The biggest group is Mexicans, most important to us in the SW states. Governor Martinez (or Sandoval) would be that candidate.
Rubio and Martinez will be considered, I doubt Fortuño will be. It is a cool idea to get someone from a US territory but that's not a good reason in and of itself.
Just like last time when the press talked about roughly 10000 possible running mates for McCain I'm sure we'll hear some unusual choices. That's what happens when we have months before the choice is made.
We need a VP who can help win and would be at least a decent President themselves.
Sandoval is "pro-choice" on abortion, so you can forget about him.
I didn't know that (or more likely I forgot). That explains why his name is never mentioned.
Very well put, Impy. Just as I had posted earlier, "Hispanics" (a relatively recently coined term) are not a single ethnic block, but identify much more with their specific country of family origin rather than their native Spanish language. Thus a Puerto Rican candidate would not have specific ethnic appeal to Mexicans, Cubans or Dominicans, etc., etc., despite the models and theories of left-leaning demographic beancounters.
It's somewhat like native English speaking Americans don't generally identify English speakers from other nations - e.g., Great Britain, Australia, Canada - as "one of us."
Hey, he's got a new heart and seems spry...Dick Cheney's available. Can you just imagine the how the libs skulls would explode if that ever (and it won't) happened?

Social engineering
To the editor:
I feel I'm entitled to respond to the letter to the editor from Valerie Dallenbach (Marshall Independent, Feb. 7, 2013).
In her letter she referred to my earlier letter (Jan. 29, 2013) about people trying cigarettes and quitting of their own volition. She cited a statistic from a report from the Surgeon General saying that 90 percent of lifelong smokers started before the age of 18. That may be true, but that does not prove that everyone who tries a cigarette pack or two will become a smoker. Did that report say how many tried smoking and then chose to quit?
The amount of taxes levied on cigarettes already exceeds the cost and distribution of the tobacco. I'd say the smokers are already paying more than their fair share of taxes.
The bigger issue is what gives government at any level the right to impose a tax on something because some disapprove of its use? The state of Minnesota and other states have already decided that they have the right to restrict the use of a legal product by legal users in privately owned businesses. Just consider what other products could be taxed because the usage of them poses a health hazard.
The country has a larger problem with obesity than it does with tobacco usage. Maybe the state should impose a "fat tax" on restaurants that sell less than healthy foods like the fast-food industry. Raise the the cost at McDonald's or burger King on their menus of high fat, low nutrition food. The cost of a burger or fries could be taxed because their consumption leads to obesity. Add the same $1.60 as an "obesity tax" and some will start eating healthier food.
With the mass-shootings that continue to pose a health risk to innocent people, a $1.60 ammunition tax could be imposed on every box of bullets sold.
That might lower the risk of being shot and killed by one of the unbalanced or angry shooters. A recent column by Mark Shields detailed the number of people killed by guns since 1968 is double the number of American casualties from every war from the Revolutionary War through the war in Afghanistan.
The list of activities that people engage in that may not be in their best interests that could be taxed to reduce the use of them is nearly endless. We now have laws requiring seatbelt usage, child carriers and other similar devices to protect us from serious injury due to someone else's bad driving. If these things are good for us, shouldn't we as adults be allowed to decide that for ourselves?
The emissions from every automobile that passes by my home far exceeds the amount of toxic emissions from cigarettes. Every car releases about 8 to 10 tons of CO2 annually.
That does not include other toxins and pollutants that come from the tailpipe of every car, truck and bus. Maybe we should add a "heath and safety tax" of the proposed $1.60 to gasoline sales and therefore reduce pollutants from automobiles.
The unforeseen consequence of raising cigarette taxes will be an increase in crime. Not just "organized" crime selling untaxed cigarettes, but small, petty crimes to get the money necessary to buy smokes. Then the cry before the Legislature will be to increase police presence to protect private property, build more jails to hold the offenders, hire more judges, add courtrooms to try the cases and more probation officers to supervise those convicted of theft to buy cigarettes.
Raising taxes and therefore prices on cigarettes may have the stated intent, fewer lifelong smokers, less youth smoking and more smokers wanting to quit.
It will also result in a loss of revenue for Minnesota as higher prices lead to cigarette sales from states which allow their citizens to make lifestyle choices without higher taxes and/or foreign countries just wanting more revenue.
It's quite apparent there is little in the way to stop this latest attack on those who smoke. Even the normally anti-tax-increase-GOP is being silent about this additional tax burden on a selected group of Minnesotans.
Imposing taxes on anything that may be harmful somehow just doesn't seem very American to me. There may be good intentions with raising taxes on certain products, but in the end, the road to government control of the people is paved with good intentions.

A rich and fertile land, Salalah is the only region in the Gulf which receives the monsoon showers which fall from July to September.
A rich and fertile land, Salalah is the only region in the Gulf which receives the monsoon showers which fall from July to September. Situated in the extreme south of Oman, with a spread of beautiful, undulating carpet of green coconut groves which lace the coast line, where the clouds and mist shroud the mountains and springs and wells gush forth, Salalah is a place that attracts many migratory birds. Salalah town is the administrative capital and has all the modern amenities.
Salalah can be visited all year round, whether you seek a winter beach break or wish to explore the many sights around the town or choose to experience the monsoon season with the Khareef Festival. The town spreads along the coast with a long corniche popular for evening walks, where one can enjoy the cool sea breeze. The pace here is relatively slow and perfect for a languid, relaxed holiday interspersed with visits to some interesting places and perhaps an adventurous mountain trekking.
One of the popular spots for picnic is Ain Arzat which is a source of several natural springs.
Nabi Ayoub's Tomb, Shisr- The lost city of Ubar of the Arabian nights, the scenic Ain Arzat and Ain Homran with its natural springs and shopping for incenses at Al Husn Souq makes the journey interesting. Fishing village of Misbat with its coastal fort.
Wadi Darbat is a natural park with scenic views of mountains, caves and birds. The lush green oasis and peace; the setting makes it a spot not to be missed.
Omani Rial (OMR).
Situated at the Southern edge of the Arabian Peninsula, bordering the Arabian Sea, Gulf of Oman, and Arabian Gulf, between Yemen and the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Parental Access to Children's Education Records
When a student reaches 18 years of age or attends a postsecondary institution, he or she becomes an "eligible student," and all rights under FERPA transfer from the parent to the student.
Therefore, at the postsecondary level, parents have no inherent rights to inspect a student's education record and the right to inspect is limited solely to the student. Records may be released to the parent only under the following circumstances:
- Through the written consent of the student;
- In compliance with a subpoena;
- By submission of evidence that the parents declare the student as a dependent on their most recent Federal Income Tax return (IRS Code of 1954, Section 152) or
- Under the Alcohol and controlled substance exception or in connection with a health and safety emergency under the circumstances set forth in § 99.36 (if the student is under 21 years of age).

This policy applies whenever these items are not in use, at night while you are sleeping, or when your site is unattended for any length of time.
When away from your site, you may leave out your camping furniture, (e.g. lawn chairs, lanterns, and tents).
Attention Pet Owners! Please keep pets on a leash at all times. Don't leave pets unattended outside - especially at night. They can attract carnivores such as bears, cougars, wolves, or coyotes, and may be attacked.
We are the key to the long term survival of our wildlife.
Anything that has an odour or could be considered food may attract wildlife to your site.
Never leave ANY of these items unattended:
When people leave their food out, bears and other species can lose their fear of humans. Once an animal gets used to human food, it becomes a risk to public safety, and may be destroyed. By keeping a "bare" campsite, you are playing an important part in preventing the creation of "problem" animals.
Park staff will be patrolling the campground regularly to ensure that campers have not left anything out at their site that could attract wildlife.
If you come back to your site and items that you have left unattended are missing, look for a written warning left by campground staff. It contains further instructions.
Campers who fail to comply with the requirements of the "Bare Campsite" program may have their camping permit cancelled, with no refund, and may be charged under the Canada National Parks Act and Regulations.
Animals rely on every part of this landscape for their survival. Their travel routes, natural food sources, mating grounds, and resting sites don't necessarily stop at the campground boundary! This means you may encounter wildlife at any time. Be aware of your surroundings, especially at dusk and dawn, or in densely vegetated areas. Surprising a bear that is busy feeding on natural food such as berries, for example, can be dangerous.
Seeing wild animals in the park can be a thrilling and rewarding experience, but remember:
ElkPlease report all bear, cougar, wolf, and coyote sightings to park staff immediately.

Fish "By Catch" To Go To Oregon Food Banks
Fish caught accidentally by commercial fisherman while fishing for another will now go to help the needy in Oregon. This is a result of the "Fish Bycatch" bill being signed into law today by Governor John Kitzhaber. He praises the bill as an innovative way to get nutritious protein-rich food to Oregon food banks. John Stubenvoll, director of advocacy for Oregon Food Bank praises Democratic Representative Deborah Boone of Cannon Beach and Republican State Senator Chuck Thomsen for their work as chief sponsors of the legislation.
In Oregon, it is mostly salmon that are caught inadvertently by commercial fisherman.

"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. "
Deb Copeland
Deb Copeland knows what it's like to fly high. She's doing that now, both on chartered aircraft and in her life. But she also knows how it feels to hit what seems like bottom-and then keep falling.
"Growing up, it was a family that was much like Ozzie and Harriet," Copeland told us. "My dad washed the dishes, Mom dried, they cut up and we had a good time. Then-literally within a day or two-my life came crashing down. My father left for another woman, my only sister went away to college and I was left at age 14 to take care of my mother, who had just been diagnosed with colon cancer. And I became her primary caregiver. The nurses taught me how to give her morphine injections."
That was just for starters. Copeland dropped out of high school, watched her mother deteriorate over three years and die and then began deteriorating herself. First came three years of alcohol and drug use; next, at age 23, marriage to a man who soon left her for another woman; and finally, a long series of medical problems, ranging from diabetes, lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome to grand mal seizures and a brain tumor.
So why does the now 53-year-old Copeland look so contented and prosperous in the photos that accompany this article? Because she is. She gave up drugs and alcohol many years ago, earned a high school equivalency diploma and attended college. Her medical problems are mostly under control and she has a happy second marriage that has lasted 24 years, plus six children, including three that she and her husband adopted internationally.
She also has a booming career. In 1983, she launched Smart Temporary Services, which grew to have 4,000 employees in seven states. She sold that firm in 1995 but continues to devote "probably more than full time" to Work Smart Business Consultants, a supplier of employee-training services to hospitals and major corporations that she founded in 1984.
These days, Copeland is flying around the country to make speeches, advise corporations and promote her book, Attitude Therapy, which tells the story of her life and describes the philosophy she preaches when she consults. According to the book, attitude matters at least as much as what happens to you-and the smile that Copeland often flashes is as much a cause of her happiness as a reflection of it.
You were on a downward spiral after your mother died. How did you reverse course?
I worked three jobs to survive. I was exhausted, so I started taking speed, and then I was so anxious, I started smoking pot. I was self-medicating. And one morning, I just got up and said, "It's either going to be live or die." I recognized at 19 that it was a pity party and I was causing my own anguish. You know, get over it. Get on with yourself. It was an a-ha moment.
So what did you do?
I poured the alcohol down the drain and the drugs down the toilet and said, "I have to live. And I am the only one responsible for making that happen." Today, other than seizure and blood-pressure medication- because I've suffered three strokes during the illness-I don't even take Tylenol. And I don't drink.
How did you start Smart Temporary Services?
One of my jobs was to stop by physicians' offices. There used to be ledgers on their desks and I'd take them home, type them up and bill their insurance. I had an a-ha moment that I'm not a typist and I'm much better at taking care of people. I hired my girlfriends to do the typing and learned that Olsten out of Westbury [N.Y.] had a medical temp side. I joined up with them and bought a franchise. In a couple of years, another person in our city was going out of business and offered it to me. Then another one went out of business and I purchased that one and grew it to 4,000 employees.
And then you sold out?
Yes, back to Olsten. I'd suffered a lot of health problems and the business had grown so big that it wasn't much fun. And it was a good time to sell-the offer was right.
Let's talk about aviation. How long have you been flying privately?
I've been using Learjets since the late 1970s or early 1980s with friends and clients, and chartering regularly for several years. For short trips, I charter a Piper Navajo [piston aircraft] from a lawyer who owns it. There's also another fellow my husband flies with who has a King Air 350 [turboprop] that I've used.
Do you get work done onboard that you can't do when you fly commercially?
Yes. It is so much easier for me to work. There's more space and I don't have to worry about someone reading what I'm working on. It is such a good use of my time. You just feel like you haven't wasted a beat. And the airport is so close it's awesome-probably eight minutes.
And you fly to cities that you couldn't get to easily on the airlines?
Yes. For example, I think Lynchburg [Va.] is hard to get to. I flew there in less than an hour last month, had three gigs there that day and one that evening and I was back. It was perfect.
Do clients sometimes pick up the cost of the flights?
Yes, probably 75 percent of the time.
What's the main reason you fly privately?
Being home for my husband and children. And the work is right there as a close second-I feel that I'm using every minute of my time wisely. It's just added years to my life doing this because, you know, flying commercially, there are always holdups and problems. The last time I flew [on an airline] out of New York, I had to fly through Detroit and then it was 11:30 p.m. before the plane came and I was supposed to have already been home and unpacked. And that's just so frustrating with kids, because you feel guilty enough being away from your children. I want to be there to put them in bed and it's priceless to be able to charter a plane to get home to do that.
How did you get into consulting ?
My first year in the temp business, a hospital executive came to me and said, "I want my people trained like your temporaries. They're awesome. What do you do?" I said I focus on attitude and he said, "I want you to come and teach it." I said, "I just can't. I'm working so much."
He said, "Well, here's the budget." I said, "I'll be there Monday. Is Monday too late?" [laughs] And I just started doing it and now it's all I do.
Your book made sense to me, but I did think, "What's new about this?" It sounded a lot like Norman Vincent Peale and the many motivational speakers who emphasize the value of positive attitudes.
It's interesting you said that because I just talked with a person who said, "This is not a new concept, but it's one we don't visit." It's just making people aware of how they're thinking. We all have so much "stinkin' thinkin'." OK, we're losing money in the stock market. Yes, that's tragedy-until you sit beside someone at dinner who just lost two children. It puts it in perspective.
I like to tell people to take a sheet of paper and write down what you have control of. We have very little control over many things, but one thing we have control over is the way we choose to think. It was Henry Ford who said, "Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right."
You just suggested comparing your problems to those of a parent who lost children. But what if you are that parent? Aren't there situations where being upbeat isn't realistic?
I do believe you're right. My oldest son ended up in rehab last October. And I'll never forget the pain of that phone call. If I had run into you and you'd said, "How are you doing?" I would have said, "Fine," and the tears would have just...you know.
But I recognized it and started doing work on myself about what I could and couldn't do about the situation.
Do you have any formal training? There's a real psychology element to what you're preaching.
You know, there really is and I do not.
It's all based on what you've been through?
It is. When people tell us what they're getting from it, they say the personal story helps them realize that they can do more. I'll talk about attitude and then I'll couple in some of my personal story and it's just easier to take.

Knights ground Blackhawks, 54-30
NORTHROP – Madelia guard Carina Aguilar drove the baseline, drew a foul and converted a traditional 3-point play to whittle Martin Luther's lead to 22-18 with 3:34 remaining in the first half of Tuesday night's basketball game.
Unfortunately for the visiting Blackhawks, the Knights closed out the opening segment on a 15-0 run to head into the lockerroom with a 19-point lead in hand.
Martin Luther duplicated that performance to open the second half of the Valley Conference clash in Northrop en route to an eventual 54-30 victory over Madelia.
Aguilar, who scored 12 of her game-high 14 points during the first 18 minutes, finally ended the Blackhawks' 14-minute scoring drought by hitting a runner in the lane with 7:24 remaining in the second half.
Catie Sherman triggered the Knights' incredible 30-0 offensive avalanche that bridged intermission by drilling her second 3-pointer of the game.
Effie Bentz then capitalized on back-to-back steals by teammate Kayley Shoen by tossing home a pair of runners in traffic to re-establish the home team's double-figure lead at 29-18 with 2:12 left before halftime.
Shoen, who neared double-double territory by delivering 12 points and a team-best nine rebounds off the bench, then sank two free throws before teammate Hunter Payne tossed in two of her team-high 13 points off a high-post delivery from Samantha Meade.
Shoen pocketed the third of her game-leading five thefts to create a breakaway lay-in by a hustling Bentz before Payne threaded the needle on a bounce pass to Shoen for a layup with only 8 seconds to go in the opening half.
Bentz netted a solo free throw to open the second half, Sherman swooshed a left-wing 15-footer, Payne converted one of her four steals into a layup and Meade hit a putback basket for two of her 10 points to widen the Knights' margin to 44-18.
Sherman then turned playmaker by delivering assists to Shoen in the right corner and Meade along the left baseline for back-to-back buckets.
Shoen knocked down another 15-footer from the right wing before Payne drove the distance after a midcourt steal for a layup to create a 52-18 lead.
Morgan Rigney scored six of her eight points off of the Madelia bench to help highlight the visitors' 10-2 scoring run during the final 7:24 of regulation.
